    REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS & MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2016

    1. Your Directors submit their Report for the financial year ended31st March, 2016.

    2. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

    The Indian economy grew by 7.5% in real terms during the firstnine months of 2015-16 representing a marginal improvement over 2014-15 (7.2%). However, there has been a marked decline in Nominal GDP growth which stood at 8.1% for the nine month period ended December15 compared to 11.4% for the corresponding period in 2014-15. Economic indicators such as credit off-take, capacity utilisation and investments point to weakness in the broader economy, although inflation andCurrentAccountDeficit remainedin the comfort zone aided, inter-alia, by a sharp decline in crude oil prices.TheGovernments commitment to contain the FiscalDeficitalso helped maintain macro-economic stability. This provided the much needed space for monetary accommodation, with the RBI reducing policy rates by a cumulative 75 basis points during the year.

    Market interest rates, however, remained volatile during the year despite RBI adopting an accommodative monetary stance. Transmission of rate cuts was impeded by lack of corresponding reduction in bank base rates, tepid growth in bank deposits, adverse demand supply dynamics due to higher issuance of State Development Loans, higher interest rates offered by the Government on small savings schemes and tight banking liquidity conditions which remainedindeficitforalargepartoftheyear.

    Reaffirmation of commitment to fiscal prudence by the CentralGovernment and continued expansion in monetary stimulus by Central Banks in developed markets improved sentiments in Indian Fixed Income markets during the last quarter of 2015-16. Further, prospects of normal monsoons in 2016 and subdued commodity pricesaugurwellfordomesticinflation,whichshouldremaininthecomfort zone, and support continued monetary accommodation by the RBI. This alongwith improved transmission of rate cuts is likely to resultinlowermarketinterestratesinthefinancialyear2016-17.
