OVERVIEW ON BANKING SECTOR 

Banking in India was defined under Section 5(A) as "any company which

transacts banking, business" and the purpose of banking business defined under Section 5(B),"accepting deposits of money from public for the purpose of lending

or investing, repayable on demand through cheque/draft or otherwise". In the

process of doing the above-mentioned primary functions, they are also permitted

to do other types of business referred to as Utility Services for their customers

(Banking Regulation Act, 1949).

During Britishers' time, three Presidency Banks were opened in Bengal (1809),

Bombay (1840) and Madras (1843) with powers to issue Notes. In the year 

1921, due to banking crisis during First World War, the three Presidency Banks

merged to form Imperial Bank of India. In the year 1955, after Independence,

Imperial Bank of India was nationalized and renamed as State Bank of India

(SBI) with a primary mandate to go to rural areas by opening at least 400

branches immediately. In the year 1957, the seven banks that were earlier 

catering to the rulers of different areas or States viz., Patiala, Bikaner, Jaipur,

Indore, Saurashtra, Hyderabad, Mysore, Travancore, became subsidiaries of 

SBI. In 1969 and 1980, Government of India nationalized 14 and 6 major banks

respectively. After the merger of New Bank of India with Punjab National Bank

during the era of Financial Sector Reforms, the number of PSBs became 27,

which are under present study.

The type and nature of businesses handled by the Public Sector Banks have not

been merely confined to primary functions. Class Banking was replaced with

mass banking primarily by the Public Sector Banks by opening branches in

remote parts of the country even without basic amenities of life. Profit was not

the motive for these bank branches for about 3 decades. Their personnel

undertook barefoot banking in godforsaken areas and implemented various

poverty alleviation schemes as directed by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or 

Government of India and Sate Governments concerned. The authorities were

confident of delivering credit to the needy masses through the channel of Public

Sector Banking in the name of "Priority Sector Advances" combining the subsidy

or margin money supported schemes. All these were aimed at generating income

or employment to large number of rural masses comprising weaker sections of 

society, artisans, agriculturists and self-employed persons including educated

unemployed youth (Chowdari Prasad, 2002).

In India, till the eighties, the banks operated in a protected environment

characterized by administered interest rates, high levels of pre-emption in the

form of reserve requirements and directed credit. Financial and Banking sector 

reforms were initiated in India in 1991 against the backdrop of challenges faced

by the Indian banks from within and outside the banking system in the country as

well as forces of globalization operating worldwide. The accent of the reform

process was to improve productivity and efficiency of the financial system and to

provide a highly competitive environment.

In the present scenario of banking industry, competition among the banks is very

severe. The banks have been trying to find new avenues not only to retain the

present customer strength but also attracting new customers by offering hassle-

free services. In the process, strategies of certain banks, specially Public Sector

Banks, are aiming to divide customers into different segments on the basis of the

type of service they would like to render and also trying to segregate their 

servicing counters in their respective branches to enable customer to have easy

access to a particular transaction (Srinivasa Rao, K.S. and Rama Rao,U., 1998).

On the other side, Foreign Banks and old and new Private Sector Banks in India,

have progressed well in the areas of technology up-gradation in operations,

extending the business hours, introduction of new products and services like

"Any Where Banking", "Any Time Money", "Electronic Fund Transfer", "Electronic

Clearing", "Tele-Banking", etc.. These new tools enabled them to improve the

quality of service and introduce Value Added Products (Saraf, W.S., 1997).

The Indian economy under Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG)

throws mind-boggling process for existence and growth of the sector. WTO was

established in 1995 and signing of WTO Agreement by Indian Government

meant greater competition from foreign and domestic bankers in terms of speed,

sophistication and professionalism. The banks are now expected to maintain

transparency in their operational and financial statements. However, in the

deregulated virtual market, small banks with high Return on Equity (ROE) will

have an edge over the large banks. In fact, modern commercial banks have to be

much more agile in order to stay in the competitive market. Adoption of 

Information Technology is vital for survival and growth of the sector and will fix

the future of commercial banks in the LPG economy. Adoption of Information

Technology is vital for survival and growth of the sector and will fix the future of 

commercial banks in the LPG economy.

Introduction

The last decade saw many positive developments in the Indian banking

sector. The policy makers and financial sector regulatory entities have made

several notable efforts to improve regulation in the sector. The sector now

compares favourably with banking sectors in the region on metrics like growth,

profitability and non-performing assets (NPAs). However, improved regulations,

innovation, growth and value creation in the sector remain limited to a small part

of it. The cost of banking intermediation in India is higher and bank penetration is

far lower than in other markets. India¶s banking industry must strengthen itself 

significantly if it has to support the modern and vibrant economy which India

aspires to be. In this paper, we have tried to evaluate the riskiness of Indian

Banks, a year wise and a relative comparison between Pubic and Private sector 

banks in India using the risk index suggested by Hannan an Hanweck (1988).

This measure of insolvency risk i.e. Z statistic incorporates data on a bank's

expected profits, the likelihood that these profits will be realized, and a bank's

capital base. The Z statistic attempts to capture the likelihood of a bank's

earnings in a given year becoming low enough to exhaust the bank's capital baseand, thus, the likelihood of the bank becoming insolvent. Specifically, Z is defined

as:

ROA + (Capital to Asset Ratio)Z =

S.D. of ROAWhere:

Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income/ Average of Total Assets.

Capital-to-Asset Ratio (CAP) = Equity/ Total Assets.

Higher values of Z imply lower insolvency risk because higher values of Z

correspond with higher levels of equity relative to a potential shock to the

earnings of a bank. Thus, banks with risky loan portfolios can maintain a low risk

of insolvency as long as they are adequately capitalized. The risk index

suggested by Hannan and Hanweck (1988) was used by Liang and Savage

(1990), Eisenbeis and Kwast (1991), Sinkey and Nash (1993), and Sinkey and

Blasko (2001)

Z statistic for individual banks.

The bank's average return on assets(ROA) over the years 2004 through

2008 period proxies for the bank's expected earnings and the standard deviation

of each bank's ROA proxies for the riskiness of its earnings. The bank's capital-

to-asset ratio is measured as of March 2008. Unfortunately, using this

methodology yields Z scores that are implausibly high and, thus, failure

probabilities that are implausibly low, since insolvency probabilities are inversely

related to Z scores. However, if the ordinal ranking of the banks in terms of their 

expected return/riskiness trade-off is captured during the 2004 through 2008 time

period, even though the level of individual Z scores provides poor estimates of 

absolute insolvency risk, individual Z scores can still be used to examine relative

insolvency risk.

Z statistic for a group of banks:

Expected earnings for a group are proxied by averaging individual banks'

ROA between 2004 and 2008 for all banks in a particular group (failed/survived).

Earnings riskiness for each group is proxied by the standard deviation of this

distribution of ROAs. The capital-to-asset ratio is the group average as of the end

of 2008.

John S. Jordan (1998) found that the banks that failed had an average

individual Z score of 21.22 (the median was 16.76) while survivors had an

average score of 37.62 (the median was 29.56). The difference in means is

significant at the 5 percent level. Group Z scores provide similar results. The

group of banks that went on to fail had a composite Z score of 8.71 while the

composite score for the surviving banks was13.33.

The Case of Global Trust Bank

Bankruptcy is a situation in which an organization falls short of cash to

repay its debt or has liabilities that exceed its assets.

The Indian Company Law Board treats insolvency in a slightly different

manner. When over 50 per cent of a company¶s net worth is washed away,

making it impossible to repay debts, the company declares itself potentially µsick¶

and BIFR (Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction) begins the process

of finding out if the company can be rehabilitated.

 A case in point is Global Trust Bank. The bank became sick with huge bad

debts in 2004. However, the RBI managed the crisis by merging it with Oriental

Bank of Commerce.

Now, when we apply the framework developed by Hannan and Hanweck to

GTB for the year 2003, we get the Z-statistic for GTB as 1.93, which is much less

than the survivors Z-score found during the study conducted on the Banks in

New England. Hence the framework is relevant in the current scenario.

Measuring the Risk Index for Indian Banks

If we want to capture the overall risk of a bank, the variability of ROA

provides a comprehensive measure that reflects not only credit risk but also

INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM

interest rate risk, liquidity risk and any other risk that is realized in bank earnings.

The standard deviation of ROA is a good measure of the variability of ROA.

Thus, the Z-statistic is a function of the normal profit margin of the bank,

the variation in that profit margin, and the equity capital available to absorb that

variation. In effect, the Z-ratio measures the number of standard deviations by

which ROA would have to decline before the book equity capital of the bank

would be exhausted. The relationship between the Z-ratio and the probability of 

insolvency is an inverse one, with higher Z-ratios indicating a lower probability of 

insolvency. If the assumption is made that the potential ROAs of the business are

normally distributed, then the one-period probability of insolvency can be

calculated as a function of the Z-ratio:

2

P=1/[2Z ]

However, empirical studies indicate that ROAs are not normally distributed, but

instead are ³fat-tailed,´ so that the actual probability of insolvency may be greater 

than that calculated using the assumption of normality. Moreover, this one-period

probability may understate the true probability of insolvency because it measures

the risk of a single-period loss being so large it wipes out equity. In reality,

insolvency often occurs after a sequence of smaller losses occurring over several

periods, indicating that serial correlation between negative shocks may exist.

Table 2. Z statistic & probability of book value insolvency for Indian Banks over years

 A random sample of 15 banks were chosen consisting of 6 public sector 

banks and 9 private sector banks. Table 2. shows that with relatively strong

capital position, stable earnings, and accepted E(ROA), the Z ± statictic has

increased over years and hence the probability of book-value insolvency has

decreased.

It can be observed from table 2. that the group score obtained for various

years are much higher than the Z statistic obtained for banks that failed(obtained

from the studies conducted on the banks in New England). Also, the two

measures of risk, the risk index and the standard deviation of ROA indicate that

Indian banks became safer in 2008 as compared to 2007 or 2006.

The Z statistic was also calculated for the two groups of Public and Private

sector banks separately for the year 2008. Table 3 shows the results obtained for 

the same.

Conclusion

Financial sector reforms were initiated as part of overall economic reforms

in the country and wide ranging reforms covering industry, trade, taxation,

external sector, banking and financial markets have been carried out since mid

1991. A decade of economic and financial sector reforms has strengthened the

fundamentals of the Indian economy and transformed the operating environment

for banks and financial institutions in the country. The sustained and gradual

pace of reforms has helped avoid any crisis and has actually fuelled growth. The

most significant achievement of the financial sector reforms has been the marked

improvement in the financial health of commercial banks in terms of capital

adequacy, profitability andasset quality as also greater attention to risk

management and this improvement is visible in the form of increasing Z-statistic

values obtained over years.

Some of the major reform initiatives in the last decade that have changed the

face of the Indian banking and financial sector are:

Interest rate deregulation.

Adoption of prudential norms in terms of capital adequacy, asset classification,

income recognition, provisioning, exposure limits, investment fluctuation reserve,

etc.

Lowering of reserve requirements (SLR and CRR), thus releasing more

lendable resources which banks can deploy profitably.

Government equity in banks has been reduced and strong banks have been

allowed to access the capitalmarket for raising additional capital.

Banks now enjoy greater operational freedom

Banks have been allowed to operate in new areas like bank financing:

insurance, infrastructure financing, leasing, gold banking, besides of course

investment banking, asset management, factoring, etc.

New instruments have been introduced for greater flexibility and better risk

management

Several new institutions have been set up including the National Securities

Depositories Ltd., Central Depositories Services Ltd. and the Clearing

Corporation of India Ltd.

Limits for investment in overseas markets by banks, mutual funds and

corporates have been liberalised. Full convertibility for deposit schemes of NRIs

introduced.

Adoption of global standards. Prudential norms for capital adequacy, asset

classification, income recognition and provisioning are now close to global

standards. RBI has introduced Risk Based Supervision of banks (against the

traditional transaction based approach). Best international practices in

accounting systems, corporate governance, payment and settlement systems,

etc. are being adopted.

RBI guidelines have been issued for putting in place risk management systems

in banks. Risk Management Committees in banks address credit risk, market risk

and operational risk. Banks have specialised committees to measure and monitor 

various risks and have been upgrading their risk management skills and systems.

  All these measure have proved to be fruitful. Results obtained from the study

conducted have shown that the probability of book value insolvency has reduced

over years and the the probability of book value insolvency is lower in case of 

public sector banks in comparison to private sector banks in India.
