HDFC BANK• HDFC Bank

• One amongst the firsts of the new generation, tech-savvy commercial banks of

India. It is also one of the constituents of Nifty. It was incorporated in 30th August

1994, after the Reserve Bank of India allowed setting up of Banks in the private

sector. The Bank was promoted by the Housing Development Finance Corporation

Limited(HDFC), a premier housing finance company.

• . - The Bank transacts both traditional commercial banking as well as

INVESTMENT banking.

• BUSINESS SUMMARY

• HDFC Bank Limited offers a range of commercial and transactional banking services, and treasury products to wholesale and retail customers. It operates in three segments:

Retail Banking,

Wholesale Banking,

Treasury Services.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATIONOF DATA

• Some ratios that are relevant for evaluating banks include

• Credit to deposit ratio

• Capital adequacy ratio

• Non-performing asset ratio

• Provision coverage ratio

• Return on assets ratio

• We thought it would be an interesting idea to look and compare these

numbers from these two banks and we will also see how the same ratios

have changed over the past few years.

DATA INTERPRETATION

• Credit to deposit ratio: This ratio indicates how much of the advances lent by

banks is done through deposits. It is the proportion of loan-assets created by banks

from the deposits received.

CONT’D….• Capital adequacy ratio: A bank's capital ratio is the ratio of qualifying capital to

risk adjusted (or weighted) assets. The RBI has set the minimum capital adequacy

ratio at 9% for all banks.

CONT’D…..• Non-performing asset ratio: The net NPA to loans (advances) ratio is used as a

measure of the overall quality of the bank’s loan book. An NPA are those assets for

which interest is overdue for more than 90 days (or 3 months).

Cont’d….• Provision coverage ratio: The key relationship in analyzing asset quality of the

bank is between the cumulative provision balances of the bank as on a particular

date to gross NPAs. It is a measure that indicates the extent to which the bank has

provided against the troubled part of its loan portfolio.

Cont’d…..• Return on assets ratio: Returns on asset (ROA) ratio is the net income (profits)

generated by the bank on its total assets (including fixed assets). The higher the

proportion of average earnings assets, the better would be the resulting returns on

total assets.

Competitive position

• Competitive Position

RECOMMENDATION

• AXIS BANK Bank and HDFC bank has to improve its brand

image, i.e. it has to position itself in the minds of prospects in

a better way in comparisons to others.

• It should provide better career opportunities for the retention

of its potential advisors.

• Further it has to provide training to its recruited advisors by

good and efficient training methods, which might be a little bit

customized if needed.

• It should more emphasize in advertising, as it is the most

powerful tool to positioning brand in the mindsets of

customers.

• It should provide online training and for those who are in jobs

and want to become advisors AXIS BANK should provide

evening training classes, so that they can join the training after

doing there jobs.

conclusion• Axis Bank is one of the few clean (in terms of asset book), rapidly growing,

profitable, & competitive private-sector banks in India; thus it will be a major beneficiary of the favorable banking environment. The Indian banking sector is in a sweet spot: consumer and corporate lending is strong, asset quality is improving and fee-income opportunities are growing. We expect this favorable environment to continue in the medium term but recognize that a key challenge for banks will be funding growth. Looking at its profile, I believe Axis Bank stands to gain disproportionately from existing opportunities in the sector. The bank has strong technology & products, an expanding distribution franchise, adequate scale, a strong service culture, and management enterprise -features that should help it stay ahead of the dominant government banks to win market share.
