the account holders under a group insurance package in

association with Aviva Life Insurance . The said savings

lakh for Life Risk and Rs.2.00 lakhs for Accident Benefit

a) Industry Structure and Developments

Our Banking industry consists of Nationalized Banks,Old Private Sector Commercial Banks, New PrivateSector Commercial Banks, Co-operative Banks,Regional Rural Banks and Foreign Banks. Our Bankestablished in 1926 as Banking Company and hasbeen classified as Scheduled Commercial Bank bythe RBI.

Reserve Bank of India has prepared roadmap forbanking sector reforms in India and accordinglyunveiled the same by releasing the road map forpresence of foreign banks in India and guidelineson Ownership and Governance for private sectorbank which covers interalia the eligibility criteria ofminimum capital requirement on par with the entrycapital requirement for new private sector banks.In order to meet with this requirement, all banks inprivate sector should have a net worth of Rs.300.00crores at all times. The banks which are yet toachieve the required level of net worth will have tosubmit a time-bound programme for capitalaugmentation to RBI. Where the net worth declinesto a level below Rs.300.00 crores, it should berestored to Rs.300.00 crores within a reasonabletime.

During the year the overall stance of monetary policyfor 2004-05 was to provide a) adequate liquidity toensure credit flow to the commercial sector of theeconomy b) pursue an interest rate environmentconducive to maintain growth momentum and pricestability c) measures to stabilize inflationarypressures. While interest rates were stable, creditdelivery aspect received greater attention. CRR ofscheduled commercial banks was raised by one-halfof one percentage point in 2 stages – to 4.75%effective September 18, 2004 and to 5.0% effectiveOctober 2, 2004. The Mid – Term Review of AnnualPolicy raised repo rate by 25 basis points to 4.75%effective October 27, 2004. Minimum tenor of retaildomestic term deposits ( under Rs.15 lacs ) can bereduced from 15 days to 7 days at the discretion ofthe Bank. The Composite loan limit for SSI wasenhanced from Rs.50 lacs to Rs.1 crore.

Recent Collapse of one of the new private sectorbank had potentially affected the confidence ofInvestors / Depositors. However, Private Sectorscheduled commercial banks and Commercial Banksstrived hard to rebuild the confidence amonginvestor by value added services and advertisements& publicity.

ANNEXURE - A

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

b) Opportunities and Threats

Based on the economic factors as also performanceduring the fiscal 2004-2005 it is estimated that theaggregate deposits of the commercial banks wouldgrow around 15% over the previous fiscal. The non-food credit including non-SLR investments is alsoexpected to increase by around 19%.

The biggest challenge is the menace of NPAs whichreduces the profitability of the banks. If banks haveto cut their costs and improve performance, theyshould reduce their NPAs. On transition from‘regulatory adequacy’ to `market efficiency’, banksneed to use product development and differentiation,innovation, business process re-engineeringtechniques backed by technological up-gradation.
