IndusInd Bank reported a stable fourth quarter with an in-line performance, making analysts bullish on it despite the Covid pandemic.

While the bank reported year-on-year net profit growth of 190% on low base effect, its deposits grew 7% quarter on quarter, while loan growth is seeing a revival.

Deposits

Its total deposits grew by 26.8% y-o-y and 7.1% q-o-q. The 10.5% q-o-q growth in current and savings account (Casa) has helped the bank to increase its Casa ratio to 42%, bringing down its costs of funds.

While IndusInd Bank reported muted loan growth of 2.8% y-o-y and 2.6% q-o-q during the fourth quarter, the management is now focused on the loan recovery and its collection efficiency has improved from 97% to 98% q-o-q.

Its high capital adequacy ratio (CAR), its Tier 1 CAR is placed now at 16.9%, could easily support the growth in several years. With a 2.6% q-o-q increase in loan book, loan growth has made a small come back in the fourth quarter and analysts believe that IndusInd will be able to deliver around 10% loan growth in 2021-22. IndusInd also plans to expand its geographic reach by opening around 250 branches each in 2021-22 and 2022-23.

Asset quality

On the asset quality front, the Gross non-performing asset ratio improved sequentially and stood at 2.67%/0.69%, with the provision coverage ratio improving to 75% from 43% in March 2019. In addition to this, the bank holds a COVID-related provision buffer at 75 bp of loans. The restructured book stood at 2% of loans (slightly higher than the guided 1.8%), largely from the Vehicle portfolio.

IndusInd follows a conservative provisioning policy which has resulted in its provision coverage ratio (PCR) improving to 74% now from just 43% in March 20219. It has made 100% provisions for unsecured retail loans and MFI loans.

With large provisions to the tune of 3.3% of its total advances, it should be able to navigate the current turbulent times with this balance sheet cushion.

Business momentum

IndusInd reported a net profit of Rs 930 crore, in line with estimates, aided by an improvement in its core operating performance.

Net interest income grew 9% YoY to Rs 3,530 crore as the margins waere broadly stable at 4.13%. Fee income picked up sequentially and grew ~9%, while opex was broadly flat YoY.

Advances growth picked up sequentially to 2.6%, aided by improving demand. Among retail segments, the MFI/Tractor portfolio showed robust traction, while the credit card portfolio showed a declining trend. The wholesale portfolio grew 3% quarter on quarter while the retail to wholesale mix stood at 57:43.

Deposit traction remains strong at 7% QoQ to Rs 2.6 lakh crore.

We are heading towards gross NPAs of 2% on a sustainable basis: V Vaidyanathan, MD & CEO, IDFC First Bank

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


We are modelling our risk parameters for this and can meet this guidance, post the Covid second wave provisioning.

IDFC First Bank intends to use its current account savings account (CASA) base to enter the prime segment of the home loan market, MD and CEO V Vaidyanathan told Shritama Bose. The bank expects 1.5% of its customer base to avail of the new restructuring scheme, he added. Edited excerpts:

What has been the impact of the second wave of Covid been on business so far?
There is a lockdown-like situation in 20-odd cities of the country. Obviously, mobility is affected as are many businesses. The full impact of this on all players will show up only in the next one or two quarters. When the first wave ended, the economy took off like a rocket, a proper V-curve. April and May are affected, but hopefully after two or three months, things will come back.

In the first restructuring framework announced last year, what was the response like? Now that there is a new scheme, do you expect more borrowers to apply for it?
At that time we restructured 0.9% of our book by value. Again, it’s hard to guess how many people would apply for the new scheme. It depends on the effect of the second wave. This wave is giving mixed signals. On one hand, it looks like a hard one to deal with. On the other hand, it is not a national lockdown. Sectors such as manufacturing and exports are still moving. Since signals are mixed, the impact will show only one quarter from now. Our guess is about 1.5% of the customer base could take advantage of this, but that’s just a guess.

The savings rate now goes down to 5%. Will rates be sustainable at this level?
We are rated CRISIL F AAA for our FD (fixed deposit) programme, which talks of our safety. Customers want safety, plus our savings rates are still very competitive. Plus we have a great brand, institutional feel and customer service, so we think our deposits will continue to grow. Now our objective is to use the low-cost CASA to start lending in the prime home loans segment. To reduce cost of funds and focus on home loans is a very important moment for the history of our bank. Now that we’ve laid the foundation for two years by building a strong CASA base, it’s now time to grow the loan book. Earlier, our growth came from SME and consumer financing. Now, our incremental growth is coming from home loans. Last year, our home loans grew by 37% and asset quality is great.

The entire market seems to be moving away from unsecured lending towards secured products. Are banks going to stop doing unsecured altogether, at least for the time being?
In home loans specifically, you get to make a long journey with the customer. It gives you peace of mind because your asset quality will be strong. There is a greater tilt in the industry now to move towards secured financing and we also want to participate in that process. Other segments will also grow, but we will watch the economic environment for that.

Coming to asset quality. You’ve seen cheque bounces fall and collections improve in Q4FY21. Has any of that process reversed in the current quarter?
In Q4 we saw collections exceeding 100% of our pre-Covid levels of January-February 2020. This gives us confidence that when our economy comes back after the second wave passes over, collections will come back again to pre-Covid levels. We look through these and focus on long-term models.

How have you changed your risk models in the wake of Covid?
We tightened lending criteria to Covid-affected industries like travel and tourism, restaurants etc. We reduced LTV (loan-to-value), we reduced authority levels, increased bank balance eligibility requirements and we increased the cut-off score for availing the loan. As a result, the incremental bookings post-Covid already factors for the pandemic-affected businesses. In addition, we are moving into prime home loans. These two factors should help improve asset quality from here on. Whatever the temporary impact of the second wave will be, directionally our asset quality should improve.

What is the guidance on credit quality?
We used to have gross NPAs of about 2.6%, net NPA of 1.2% and provisions of 2.6% prior to Covid. At our current underwriting standards and trends, we sense we are heading towards gross of 2%, net NPA of 1% and provisions of 2% on a sustainable basis. We are modelling our risk parameters for this and can meet this guidance, post the Covid second wave provisioning.

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


In the March quarter of FY21, Yes Bank reported a net loss of Rs 3,787.75 crore. It saw fresh slippages worth Rs 11,800 crore during Q4, with Rs 8,000 crore coming from the moratorium book

Bay Tree India Holdings , owned by Tilden Park, reduced its stake in Yes Bank by 2.08%, representing nearly a third of its holding in the lender. According to regulatory filings, Bay Tree now holds a 5.4% stake in Yes Bank.

The stake reduction was carried out through open market sales in multiple tranches between January 6 and May 6. Bay Tree was an anchor investor in Yes Bank’s July 2020 further public offer (FPO) of Rs 15,000 crore.

Yes Bank was resuscitated through a long process after the Reserve Bank of India imposed a moratorium on it in March 2020 and superceded its board. The rescue involved a number of institutions from the financial sector coming together to infuse equity into the capital-starved bank.

Over the past one year, most of those investors have pared their stakes. Between March 2020 and March 2021, State Bank of India’s stake has fallen to 30% from 48.21%, ICICI Bank’s to 3.99% from 7.97%, Axis Bank’s to 1.96% from 4.78%, IDFC First Bank’s to 1.15% from 1.67%, Bandhan Bank’s to 1.2% from 2.39%, Housing Development Finance Corp’s to 3.99% from 7.97% and Kotak Mahindra Bank’s to 1.52% from 3.61%.

In the March quarter of FY21, Yes Bank reported a net loss of Rs 3,787.75 crore. It saw fresh slippages worth Rs 11,800 crore during Q4, with Rs 8,000 crore coming from the moratorium book. The bank’s capital adequacy ratio as per Basel III stood at 17.5% as on March 31. The common equity Tier-I (CET-I) ratio was at 11.2% at the end of March.

Yes Bank’s shares on the BSE ended 0.23% higher than their previous close at Rs 13.16 on Tuesday.

Covid surge: Govt curbs to hit lending, collection operations in Kerala

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


The state government had on last Thursday announced lockdown from May 8 till May 16.The government has also restricted physical loan recovery during the lockdown period.

Lending and collection operations in Kerala is likely to take a hit with the state government restricting service to only three days in a week to check a surge in Covid cases.

The state government had on last Thursday announced lockdown from May 8 till May 16.The government has also restricted physical loan recovery during the lockdown period.

The state has currently more than 4 lakh active Covid-19 cases and a test positivity rate above 25%. Many villages and municipal wards with a test positivity rate above 30% are containment zones where there is a complete lockdown.

Mathew Muthoottu, managing director of Muthoottu Mini Financers (MMFL), said that the Kerala government order against recoveries during lockdown will have an impact on the cash-based recoveries of all banks and NBFCs.

“However latest measures do not stop from online transactions. Our branches are open and transacting business with a limited number of employees on alternative days as per the government norms in Kerala. It will be difficult for the customers to remit the loan payment on the said timeline. Keeping in mind the inconvenience of the customers, we are encouraging them to use our digital platforms to fulfill their requirements,” he added.

Top official of a private sector bank told FE that productivity in branches have fallen with the restrictions imposed.

“Our gold loan disbursal is likely to be affected due to the restrictions. People take gold loan for emergencies and will take it from unorganised players if banks and NBFCs are closed. On the collection side we expect minimal impact as people who know and are worried about credit history will make an effort to pay on time. Small traders and shops are likely to fall back on payment due to a fall in income,” he said.

VP Nandakumar, MD and CEO, Manappuram Finance, said that disruptions will be minimised with customers increasingly using digital applications for transactions.

“In microfinance, although the centre meetings for collections may get interrupted temporarily, we have observed that customers are increasingly utilising the digital channels to make payments directly from their bank accounts. A large part of our collections now take place through the digital mode. For instance, in our gold loans portfolio, the larger share of our customers has adopted the online gold loan (OGL) platform,” he added.

“The key factors affecting collection efficiency are the availability of cash flow and the logistical issues faced, vis-a-vis physical collection.However, our digital collections are now active and customers can pay their loans digitally,” said Paul K Thomas, MD and CEO of ESAF Bank.

“Right now our focus is to bank on our existing large customer base, which will ensure revenues. The actual growth we clock this year will depend on how long the pandemic will last and other related external factors,” he added.

PNB’s 20% loan accounts had payment overdue till December ’20

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


“The differences are wider if we include the stock of NPAs as well. The differences in NPAs in retail, housing and auto loans points towards a weaker credit profile for PNB compared to SBI/BoB,” KIE said in a note on Tuesday.

Punjab National Bank’s (PNB) ratio of loans that were in default for anywhere between one and 90 days stood at 20% of the overall book at the end of 2020. An offer document issued by the bank showed that the share of special mention account (SMA)-2 loans, where repayments are overdue for 61-90 days, rose to 8.8% as on December 31, 2020 from 2.74% as on September 30, 2020.

To be sure, the SMA category of loans as of December 31, 2020 also includes loans which were not being classified as non-performing assets (NPAs) in line with the Supreme Court’s interim stay on recognition of fresh bad loans after August 31, 2020. These are likely to slip into the NPA bucket in the March quarter of FY21 as the stay was vacated on March 23.

The stress on PNB’s book was most evident in the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) category, where 2.89% of domestic advances were classified as SMA 2. Trailing it closely was the corporate sector, where 2.72% of loans were overdue between 61 and 90 days.

Similar signs of incipient stress were earlier observed in a Bank of Baroda (BoB) offer document, which showed that the bank’s SMA ratio surged to 21.57% as on December 31, 2020 from 8% on March 31, 2020. However, PNB’s situation could be a little more worrying than that of BoB, considering that its gross NPA ratio stood at 12.99% at the end of Q3FY21, as against the latter’s 8.48%.

Analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities (KIE) observed that while both banks had around 20% of their loans under SMA, PNB carried a much higher ratio of SMA 1 and 2 loans — 13% — compared to 9% for BoB. While there is little difference between the two in the corporate segment, wide gaps emerge between the two banks in the SMA-2 profile across retail (11% for PNB vs 6% for BoB), MSME (16% for PNB vs 9% for BoB) and agriculture (8% for PNB vs 3% for BoB).

“The differences are wider if we include the stock of NPAs as well. The differences in NPAs in retail, housing and auto loans points towards a weaker credit profile for PNB compared to SBI/BoB,” KIE said in a note on Tuesday.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has earlier warned about an impending rise in system bad assets. Loan losses in the banking sector, as measured by the gross NPA ratio, could nearly double to 13.5% by September 2021 in a baseline scenario, and to as high as 14.8% in a severe-stress scenario resulting from the pandemic, the regulator had said in the December 2020 edition of its financial stability report (FSR).

There are fresh concerns on the state of credit quality in the financial system in light of the ongoing second wave of Covid. According to KIE, the current cycle is unlikely to be as painful as the corporate NPA cycle. At the same time, recovery in growth and profitability is set to be deferred as a consequence of the second wave.

15 Top Banks And HFCs Offering Cheapest Home Loan Of Rs. 75 Lakh And Above

[ad_1]

Amid record low interest rate that are to continue for some more time until the economic recovery picks pace, there is reported an increase in demand for home loan. Also, the current pandemic time has nudged most of us to work from home which is another reason propelling demand for home loan higher.

15 Top Banks And HFCs Offering Cheapest Home Loan Of Rs. 75 Lakh And Above

15 Top Banks And HFCs Offering Cheapest Home Loan Of Rs. 75 Lakh And Above

In fact Housing Development Finance Corporation’s VC and CEO Keki Mistry in an interview with a leading business channel mentions that the structural demand for housing in India will always be strong for a variety of factors – one is affordability, the other is the fact that we have a young population.

Importantly, as a thumb rule it is suggested that when zeroing in on the residential property you should ensure that its price is not more than five times your annual income, this is if you are taking a home loan to buy the same.

Pointers to note when applying for home loan in India:

1. 35/50 rule:

Generally speaking banks do not disburse a loan amount on which you would need to pay an EMI of over 45-50% of your monthly salary. Nonetheless what best you can adhere to is by the 35/50 rule which suggests you to go for a loan amount on which you will have to pay maximum home loan EMI up to 35% of your monthly take home pay while total EMI including personal loan, car etc. should be limited to 50%. For boosting the eligibility of your home loan amount, you can include your spouse’s income also.

2. Opt for a shorter duration loan:

If your pocket allows it shall always be wise to go for a shorter duration loan as then the interest cost will come down substantially. So, while the EMI per lakh for a longer duration is less, the interest cost is actually on the higher side when compared to the shorter duration loan.

3. Credit score will determine a better deal for you:

Borrowers with a good credit profile and high credit score will be able to avail home loan at a competitive rate of interest in comparison to other borrowers. Generally a credit score above 750 is deemed a good score. Also, if you happen to have banking relationship with the lender do negotiate for a better rate. Moreover, for greater transparency, try and extract maximum possible on what would the home loan costs include such as processing charges etc.

Now if you too are willing to capitalize on the current low interest rate regime and have shortlisted a residential property, here are the banks and HFCs in India offering lowest interest rate on high ticket size loan of Rs. 75 lakh and above. The interest rate on home loan valued above Rs. 75 lakh varies between 6.65% to .

Tax benefit on home loan:

1. Deduction on repayment of principal amount of home loan:

The principal amount repaid can be claimed as a deduction under section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for self-occupied property. Also note, section 80C advantage can also be claimed in respect of the stamp duty and registration charges paid while buying a house property.

Best Aggressive Hybrids Fund Ranked By CRISIL With 1 Year Returns Upto 50%

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Who should invest in Aggressive Hybrid Funds?

Aggressive funds, according to many investors, are riskier than traditional balanced hybrid funds. The fund manager mainly invests in equity and equity-related instruments in these funds, with a smaller portion of the portfolio allocated to debt for stability. As a result, investors with a high-risk tolerance and a 5-year investment period should expect Aggressive Funds. By investing mainly in equity and a limited portion of debt and money market instruments, the fund manager aims to provide stable returns. Investors with a reasonable risk profile and a medium-term investment horizon of at least five to seven years are ideally suited to such funds. Investors who are willing to take on some risk with their investments should accept aggressive hybrid funds. This fund is also a good place to start for an investor who wants to invest in equities but wants to be secure.

Padmakumar Nair to take charge of NARCL

State Bank of India’s Padmakumar Madhavan Nair is set to take charge as the chief of the National Asset Reconstruction Company Ltd (NARCL), which is being set up by banks, especially from the public sector, to tackle stressed assets.

Nair is currently Chief General Manager with SBI’s Stressed Assets Resolution Group.

The Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) is spearheading the formation of NARCL in consultation with the Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India. Stressed assets with principal outstanding of ₹500 crore and above, aggregating about ₹1.50 lakh crore, are expected to be transferred to NARCL. Like other ARCs, NARCL too will have to invest in at least 15 per cent of the Security Receipts (SRs) it issues to acquire stressed assets, according to industry experts. Further, the Government may give a guarantee for SRs.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in her union budget speech on February 1, 2021, observed that the high level of provisioning by public sector banks on their stressed assets calls for measures to clean up their books.

In this regard, she said an Asset Reconstruction Company and an Asset Management Company would be set up to consolidate and take over the existing stressed debt and then manage and dispose of the assets to Alternate Investment Funds (AIFs) and other potential investors for eventual value realisation.

“We need to look at various aspects like regulations, different approvals needed, and processes. There are multiple things that need to be looked at,” said Rajkiran Rai G, MD & CEO, Union Bank of India. Rai is also the Chairman of IBA.

At a recent press meet, Rakesh Sharma, MD & CEO, IDBI Bank, said large public sector and private sector banks will be investing in NARCL, with each bank taking less than 10 per cent stake. IDBI Bank will also consider investing in the company.
