. Awards & Recognitions by SBI OVERVIEW State Bank of India is the largest and one of the oldest commercial bank in Indi a, in existence for more than 200 years. The bank provides a full range of corporate, commercial and retail banking services in India. Indian central bank namely Reserve Bank of India (RBI ) is the major share holder of the bank with 59.7% stake. The bank is capitalized to the extent of Rs.646bn with the public holding (other than promoters) at 40.3%. SBI has the largest bra nch and ATM

network spread across every corner of India. The bank has a branch network of ov er 14,000 branches (including subsidiaries). Apart from Indian network it also has a netwo rk of 73 overseas offices in 30 countries in all time zones, correspondent relationship w ith 520 International banks in 123 countries. In recent past, SBI has acquired banks in Mauritius, Kenya and Indonesia. The bank had total staff strength of 198,774 as on 31st Mar ch, 2006. Of this, 29.51% are officers, 45.19% clerical staff and the remaining 25.30% were s ub-staff. The bank is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange, Kolkata St ock Exchange, Chennai Stock Exchange and Ahmedabad Stock Exchange while its GDRs are listed on the London Stock Exchange. SBI group accounts for around 25% of the to tal business of the banking industry while it accounts for 35% of the total foreign exchange in India. With this type of strong base, SBI has displayed a continued performance in the last few years in scaling up its efficiency levels. Net Interest Income of the bank has witnessed a CAGR of 13.3% during the last five years. During the same period, net interest margin (N IM) of the bank has gone up from as low as 2.9% in FY02 to 3.40% in FY06 and currently is at 3.3 2%. Management The bank has 14 directors on the Board and is responsible for the management of the Banks business. The board in addition to monitoring corporate performance also ca rries out functions such as approving the business plan, reviewing and approving the annua l budgets and borrowing limits and fixing exposure limits. Mr. O. P. Bhatt is the Chairman of the bank. The five-year term of Mr. Bhatt will expire in March 2011. Prior to this appointment , Mr. Bhatt was Managing Director at State Bank of Travancore. Mr. Bhatt has more than 30 years of experience in the Indian banking industry and is seen as futuristic leader in hi s approach towards technology and customer service. Mr. Bhatt has had the best of foreign e xposure in SBI. We believe that the appointment of Mr. Bhatt would be a key to SBIs future g rowth momentum. Mr. T S Bhattacharya is the Managing Director of the bank and known fo r his vast experience in the banking industry. Recently, the senior management of the bank has been broadened considerably. The positions of CFO and the head of treasury have been segregated, and new heads for rural banking and for corporate development and ne w business banking have been appointed. The managements thrust on growth of the bank in term s of

network and size would also ensure encouraging prospects in time to come.

Shareholding & Liquidity (Till 30th Sept. 2007) Reserve Bank of India is the largest shareholder in the bank with 59.7% stake fo llowed by overseas investors including GDRs with 19.78% stake as on September 06. Indian f inancial institutions held 12.3% while Indian public held just 8.2% of the stock. RBI is the monetary authority and having majority shareholding reflects conflict of interest. Now th e government is rectifying the above error by transferring RBIs holding to itself. Post this, SBI will have a further headroom to dilute the GOIs stake from 59.7% to 51.0%, which will further improve its CAR and Tier I ratio. Key Areas of Operations The business operations of SBI can be broadly classified into the key income gen erating areas such as National Banking, International Banking, Corporate Banking, & Treasury o perations.

HISTORY The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the ninet eenth century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 Janua ry 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of mod ern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 Jan uary 1921. Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local Euro pean commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India s ec onomy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments i n Europe

and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both th e local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the econ omy of Europe and the global economic framework. The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time. Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately su bscribed and the rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large European managing agency houses in India. The rest were government nominees, inv ariably civil servants, one of whom was elected as the president of the board. Group Photograph of Central Board (1921) Business The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exch ange or other negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and issuing and circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs.one Lakh and the period of

accommodation confined to three months only. The security for such loans was pub lic securities, commonly called Company s Paper, bullion, treasure, plate, jewels, o r goods not of a perishable nature and no interest could be charged beyond a rate of twelve per cent. Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woollens, cotton, cotton piece good s, mule twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of cash credits gained momentum only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All commodities, including tea, sugar and jute, which began to be financed later, were either pledged or hypothecated to the bank. Demand promissory notes were signed by the borrower in favour of the guarantor, which was in turn endorsed to the bank. Lending against shares of the banks or on the mort gage of houses, land or other real property was, however, forbidden. Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company s paper, while t he business of discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive monopol y of individuals Europeans and their partnership firms. But the main function of the three banks, as far as the government was concerned, was to help the latter raise loans from time to time and also provide a degree of stability to the prices of government securities. First Five Year Plan In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural In dia was given the highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the Im perial Bank of India had till then confined their operations to the urban sector and were not e quipped to respond to the emergent needs of economic regeneration of the rural areas. In or der, therefore, to serve the economy in general and the rural sector in particular, t he All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the creation of a state-partnered and statesponsored bank by taking over the Imperial Bank of India, and integrating with i t, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was accordingly passed in Parliamen t in May 1955 and the State Bank of India was constituted on 1 July 1955. More than a qua rter of the resources of the Indian banking system thus passed under the direct control of t he State. Later, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959, enabli ng the State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiari es (later named Associates). The State Bank of India was thus born with a new sense of social purpose aided b

y the 480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices inherited from the Imperial Bank. The concept of banking as mere repositories of the community s sa vings and lenders to creditworthy parties was soon to give way to the concept of purposefu l banking subserving the growing and diversified financial needs of planned economic devel opment. The State Bank of India was destined to act as the pacesetter in this respect an d lead the

Indian banking system into the exciting field of national development.

Citibank Standard Chartered HSBC Bank ABN AMRO Bank American Express Strength/ Opportunities: The growth for SBI in the coming years is likely to be fueled by the following f actors: Continued effort to increase low cost deposit would ensure improvement in NIMs a nd hence earnings. Growing retail & SMEs thrust would lead to higher business growth. Strong economic growth would generate higher demand for funds pursuant to higher corporate demand for credit on account of capacity expansion.

Weakness/ Threats: The risks that could ensue to SBI in time to come are as under: SBI is currently operating at a lowest CAR. Insufficient capital may restrict th e growth prospects of the bank going forward. Stiff competition, especially in the retail segment, could impact retail growth of SBI and hence slowdown in earnings growth. Contribution of retail credit to total bank credit stood at 26%. Significant thr ust on growing retail book poses higher credit risk to the bank. Delay in technology upgradation could result in loss of market shares. Management indicated a likely pension shortfall on account of AS-15 to be close to Rs50bn. Slow down in domestic economy would pose a concern over credit off-take thereby impacting earnings growth.
