together with the audited accounts for the year ended March 31, 2008.

Net Profit 75.05 68.22
The business of your Bank grew both in deposits and advances during the year. The focus during the year was on improving
earnings from core banking business and to augment the fee-based income, for which various initiatives have been taken by
your Bank.
The Operating Profit (before depreciation and provisions and contingencies) during the year under review improved to
Rs.236.35 crores as against Rs.205.67 crores in the previous year.
Your Bank’s Net Profit, after considering necessary provisions and contingencies and all expenses, was higher at Rs. 75.05
crores as against Rs. 68.22 crores in the previous year, an increase of 10.01%.

Your Directors recommend appropriation of profit as under:

The Bank will be liable to pay tax on the amount of dividend paid, while it will be tax-free in the hands of the shareholders.
Future Outlook
During the year 2007-08, your Bank continued its focus on strengthening its network and infrastructure, the benefits of which
have started materialising. In the current year, while your Bank will endeavour to retain its leadership position in vehicle
finance (wherein higher yield loans are replacing old loans of lower yields), its thrust will also be on higher growth in other
business segments like Corporates and SMEs. Higher growth is being built at competitive prices, ensuring that assets are
created at higher rates, so as to boost margins.
On the liabilities side, the strategy continues to be to broadbase the retail deposit franchise, and thus reduce the overall cost
of deposits. This task is being accomplished by leveraging on the expanded branch network, the pan-India marketing set-up,
and alternate channels like ATMs, Internet Banking, etc. This strengthened infrastructure is being used for maximizing
opportunities for cross-selling possible with the expanded customer base. For optimal realization of this potential, your Bank
is introducing several new products and services in the various segments, including in the newly set up Transaction Banking
segment, which will give impetus to Trade and Cash Management products as well as electronic services.
Your Bank’s focus on fee-based income is starting to pay dividends. Moving forward, your Bank plans to upscale non-interest
income through lucrative revenue streams like foreign exchange business, investment banking, high-end treasury products,
distribution of third-party products like mutual funds and insurance, international remittances, bullion operations and transaction
banking activities, including depository business, commodity market business, etc.

respectively while Term Deposits grew by 6.91%. Although Term Deposits continue to constitute the major portion of total
deposits, the share of CASA is continuously increasing. In tune with its Retail orientation, your Bank is endeavouring to

various new products and services which were targeted at building Wealth Management capabilities as well as enhancing the
existing banking channels. With constant technology upgradation and launch of customized products and services, your Bank
was able to substantially grow the retail client base during the year.
Your Bank entered into a strategic tie-up last year with Cholamandalam MS General Insurance Co. Ltd. for bancassurance.
This tie-up will help the Bank ramp up its fee-based income significantly. Our tie-up with AVIVA helps us offer an even wider
array of Wealth Management products to our customers. Premium from bancassurance touched Rs. 15 crores during the
year. Your Bank also launched an innovative “Three-in-One” (Savings, Depository and Trading) account, along with service
enhancements in Mobile and Internet banking.
In 2007-08, your Bank achieved significant milestones in the Retail segment. The liability portfolio grew by 24% from Rs. 6594
crores to Rs. 8188 crores. Retail assets also increased by 22%, with an upward swing in the yields during the latter part of the
financial year.
In line with your Bank’s strategy of expanding banking operations to different locations in the country and into new growth
markets, the year 2007-08 saw your Bank strengthening its presence in the retail banking space with 10 new branch launches
and of 158 new ATMs.
Key initiatives last year towards better delivery were deeper focus on client engagement, compliance and operating process
management.
Consumer Finance
Consumer Finance Division (CFD) of your Bank, formerly a constituent of the erstwhile Retail Banking Group, extends asset-
backed financing for a wide range of vehicles spanning across heavy commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, cars, two-
wheelers, etc. Besides, specialty construction equipments like tippers, cranes, excavators, and loaders are also financed. The
thrust product during the year was three-wheelers, as this product line yielded higher returns.
The total disbursements made during the year 2007-08 were in excess of Rs.4358 crores to new loan accounts, numbering
over 3.38 lakhs. The focus during the year was to optimize the product mix to maximize yields and at the same time maintain
portfolio quality.
Disbursements for commercial vehicles were of the order of Rs.2521 crores as against Rs.3243 crores in 2006-07. Disbursements
in this segment were undertaken with the objective of maximization of yield and for meeting priority sector targets.
Disbursement of loans for construction equipment increased by 11% to Rs.798 crores from Rs.717 crores in the previous
year. Disbursements of two-wheeler loans showed an increase of 8% to Rs.770 crores as against Rs.711 crores in 2006-07.
Disbursements for cars were strategically kept lower in 2007-08 at Rs.269 crores as against Rs.471 crores in the previous
year, due to the lower yields obtaining in this segment.
14
CFD also earned fee-based income of about Rs.16.15 crores, primarily through distribution of third-party insurance products.
The operations of this Division are efficiently supported by a state-of-the-art document storage and retrieval facility at
Karapakkam unit (near Chennai) that handles loan document processing and record maintenance.

valuation at year-end. In case of unquoted government securities market price or fair value is determined as per the
rates published by FIMMDA.

Equity shares are valued at cost or the closing quotes on a recognised stock exchange, whichever is lower.
Treasury bills are valued at carrying cost, which includes discount amortised over the period to maturity.
Units of mutual funds are valued at the lower of cost and net asset value provided by the respective mutual funds.

value in the financial statements then the hedging is also marked to market with the resulting gain or loss recorded as an
adjustment to the market value of designated assets or liabilities.
(ii) The trading contracts comprise proprietary trading in interest rate swaps. The gain/ loss arising on unwinding or termination
of the contracts is accounted for in the profit and loss account. Trading contracts outstanding as at the balance sheet date

12) Income-tax:
Tax expenses comprise current, deferred and fringe benefit taxes. Current income tax and fringe benefit tax is measured at the
amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes reflect
the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of
timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. Unrecognized deferred
tax assets of earlier years are re-assessed and recognised to the extent that it has become reasonably certain that future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
13) Earnings per Share:
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per equity share have been computed using the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares
outstanding as at end of the year.
14) Provisions:
A provision is recognised when there is an obligation as a result of past event. It is probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to their
present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
15) Others:
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash and balances with RBI (Schedule VI) and balances with
banks and money at call and short notice (Schedule VII).
