Even as government bodies are exploring options to encourage people to take Covid jabs, a regional rural bank in Kerala has come out with a novel motivational incentive by offering an additional interest rate on the deposits for its customers.
The product – KGB Kavacham – introduced by the Malappuram-headquartered Kerala Gramin Bank in this regard has started receiving overwhelming customer response since its launch on July 1 that helped the bank to garner additional ₹500 crore deposits till September.
The cumulative deposits opened under the scheme, according to bank officials, will fetch an interest rate of 5.55 per cent, which is higher than the prevalent rate of interest for the same period for normal deposits opened for 15 months by 0.25 per cent
“We joined hands with the government’s Covid vaccination drive by launching this deposit scheme linked to vaccination. It is intended to motivate people to get vaccinated,” KR Bindu, Assistant General Manager, Kerala Gramin Bank, Malappuram told BusinessLine.
Vaccine hesitancy, reportedly, has resulted in lower turnout of people in Malappuram district compared to other districts in the State which prompted the bank to come up with an innovative idea. “The success of our scheme is evident from the deposit collections,” added Bindu.
This is for the first time in India a rural bank is drumming up support for the government’s vaccination campaign, according to Bindu, and KGB Kavacham is a distinct effort to salute all who braved the trauma and setbacks caused by the Covid pandemic, she added.
Those who have taken a single or double dose of the Covid-19 vaccine are eligible for the bank’s deposit scheme. Besides, the bank has also rolled out a special term-deposit scheme – KGB Platinum – to commemorate the platinum jubilee celebrations of India’s independence – offering a higher interest rate of 5.60 per cent for deposits made for 775 days.

Motilal Oswal has set a price target of almost 21% over the current market price for the stock of the company and has placed a buy call.
According to Motilal Oswal, Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Healthcare delivered strong sales growth in the first half of the decade, with a 20.4% CAGR over FY10-15.
“The company saw a lull period over the next three years due to overhauls such as demonetization and the introduction of GST. However, since FY19, growth seems to have returned strongly (barring a temporary blip in FY20 due to COVID-related disruptions). With 19% sales growth delivered in FY21, PGHH appears to have returned to the growth levels seen in the earlier half of the decade,” the brokerage has said.
The company should see rapid growth over the long term on the back of certain encouraging developments: (a) the increasing pace of distribution expansion, (b) the continuingly strong pace of category development efforts in schools to boost awareness and growth, (c) rising ad spends after a lull in preceding years, (d) a healthy pipeline of new products, (e) accelerated consumer entries into the category through launches at low price points, and (f) the willingness to take price cuts, whenever required, to boost growth.
“We maintain a Buy rating, with a target price of Rs 17,450 (50x Dec’23 EPS),” the brokerage has said.
Brokerage firm, Motilal Oswal also has a buy call on the stock of Britannia Industries, though it has not set a target price on the same.
According to a press release issued by Britannia, the company is witnessing unprecedented levels of inflation in the market prices of palm oil (+54%), industrial fuel (+35%), and packaging materials (+30%), leading to an overall inflation of 14% in 2QFY22.
According to Motilal Oswal, the management was able to partially offset this impact through strategic forward covers and accelerated cost efficiency programs. It has also initiated necessary price hikes across the portfolio.
Consolidated sales rose 5.5% YoY to Rs 36.1 billion (est. INR34.9b) in 2QFY22. Consolidated EBITDA/PBT/adjusted PAT declined by 17.3%/22.1%/23% YoY to INR5.6b/INR5.2b/INR3.8b (est. INR5.8b/INR5.7b/INR4.3b).
“Base business volume growth likely to be between 6% and 7% in 2QFY22 (est. 4%),” Motilal Oswal has said in a press release. The stock of Britannia last closed at Rs 3,611 on the National Stock Exchange.
The above stocks are picked from the brokerage report of Motilal Oswal. Investing in equities poses a risk of financial losses. Investors must therefore exercise due caution.
