Bank of Baroda to raise up to Rs 3,000cr via Basel III bonds, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Read More/Less


State-owned Bank of Baroda on Monday said it will raise up to Rs 3,000 crore by issuing Basel III compliant bonds in one or more tranches. The capital raising committee of the bank in a meeting on November 1, 2021 approved the issuance of Basel III compliant additional tier I/II bonds.

The bonds are to be issued for aggregate total issue size of Rs 3,000 crore in single or multiple tranches, the bank said in a regulatory filing.

To comply with Basel-III capital regulations, banks globally need to improve and strengthen their capital planning processes.

These norms are being implemented to mitigate concerns on potential stresses on asset quality and consequential impact on performance and profitability of banks.

Shares of Bank of Baroda were trading at Rs 99.30 apiece on BSE, up 1.85 per cent from previous close. PTI KPM DRR DRR

Why analysts see no upside in PNB stock despite 78% jump in Q2 net, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Banking & Finance

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


NEW DELHI: Punjab National Bank (PNB) reported a 78 per cent surge in September quarter profit, in addition to a three-fold jump in June quarter profits. Analysts, however, see no further upside for the stock that has underperformed the market this year with a 21 per cent return.

Analysts said the surge in earnings was mainly led by a reversal in tax and noted that operating performance for the quarter was fairly weak, with pre-provision operating profit falling 27 per cent YoY due to a 25 per cent decline in net interest income (NII).

Slippages were elevated at about Rs 9,080 crore, which were 5.4 per cent of loans, even as higher recoveries and upgrades helped the bank report a 70 basis points fall in gross NPA at 13.6 per cent.

Motilal Oswal Securities noted that the bank’s domestic margins also fell 36 basis points sequentially to 2.45 per cent due to an interest reversal of Rs 620 crore and few corporate loans being repriced at lower rates. Fee income fell 21 per cent sequentially. “PNB’s asset quality remained largely stable despite elevated slippages, supported by higher recoveries and upgrades. However, the bank’s restructured portfolio increased to 3.1 per cent of loans, for which it is carrying mere 10 per cent provisions. Also, SMA overdue stood at 3.7 per cent of loans, making us watchful of PNB over the near term,” Motilal Oswal said.

Emkay Global has retained its sell call on the stock due to slower growth, ongoing concerns around asset quality and subpar return ratios when compared with other public sector banks. It has valued the stock at Rs 35. “Credit growth was weak at 3 per cent YoY but PNB expects the growth run rate to improve to 6-8 per cent YoY by the end of FY22, aided by healthy growth in retail and some back-end support from corporates as well. That said, we believe overall NIMs are likely to remain under pressure due to slower growth and interest reversals on NPAs,” Emkay said.

Edelweiss shared similar concerns. It said asset quality shows persistent challenges, with slippages in excess of 5 per cent (annualised) and SMA-2 + restructuring at 2 per cent level. Soft business momentum reflected in a 30 per cent YoY dip in core profitability. “Still evolving stress and low provision stock forebodes elevated credit costs going forward, keeping us on guard. High stress, lower buffer, challenges on business and risk of subsequent Covid waves indicate that transition will be arduous and normalisation is still awaited,” said the brokerage. It has a hold rating on the stock with a target of Rs 42.

PNB closed at Rs 42.10 a piece on Friday, suggesting no upside.

Bandhan Bank gets empanelled as agency bank of RBI, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Bandhan Bank said on Monday that it has been empanelled by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to act as an agency bank to facilitate transactions related to government businesses. The RBI’s decision will help Bandhan Bank in contributing to nation-building, its MD and CEO Chandra Sekhar Ghosh said.

The announcement comes months after a RBI guideline that authorised scheduled private sector banks as agency banks of the regulator for the conduct of government business.

With this, Bandhan Bank joins ranks with a few other scheduled private sector banks to be empanelled as agency banks of the RBI, the bank said in a statement.

As an agency bank, Bandhan Bank will be able to handle transactions related to collection of state taxes, and revenue receipts such as GST and VAT, collection of stamp duty, and pension payments on behalf of central and state governments, it added.

The bank’s extensive branch network will help it discharge its duties effectively by bringing governments and citizens closer to each other, it said.

“Since its launch six years ago, Bandhan Bank has been dedicated towards bringing millions of Indians into the fold of formal financial services and catalysing the creation of sustainable livelihoods,” Ghosh said. PTI dc SOM SOM

Former SBI boss Chaudhary arrested for selling hotel at cheap price after declaring as NPA, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Former SBI chairman Pratip Chaudhary has been arrested by the Jaisalmer Police from Delhi on the basis of arrest orders issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in the case of selling a hotel property at a cheap price after declaring it NPA.

Pratip Chaudhary was arrested on Sunday and will be brought to Jaisalmer on Monday. According to information received from the police, Pratip Chaudhary was arrested from his residence in Delhi in a case related to a hotel group in Jaisalmer. It is alleged that the property worth about Rs 200 crore was sold for Rs 25 crore by declaring it Non Performing Asset (NPA).

This property, in fact, was seized in lieu of the loan. According to the police, the hotel group had taken a loan of Rs 24 crore from SBI in 2008 for the construction purpose. At that time, another hotel of the group was running smoothly. After that, when the group could not repay the loan amount, the bank seized both the hotels of the group after considering it as a non-performing asset. At that time, the chairman of the bank was Pratip Chaudhary.

The bank then sold both the hotels to a company for Rs 25 crore at a much lower price than the market rate. On this, the hotel group went to court.

Meanwhile, the buyer company took over it in 2016 and when this property was valued in 2017, its market value was found to be Rs 160 crore. At the same time, after retirement, Pratip Chaudhary joined the same company as a director to which this hotel was sold. At present, the value of these hotels is being estimated at Rs 200 crore.

In this case, the CJM Court of Jaisalmer ordered the arrest of Pratip Chaudhary.

To spur lending, finance ministry pushes to ease fears of bankers, BFSI News, ET BFSI

Banking & Finance

[ad_1]

To protect the people taking bona fide business decisions, the finance ministry issued a uniform staff accountability framework for NPA accounts up to Rs 50 crore.

These guidelines shall be implemented with effect from April 1, 2022, for accounts turning non-performing assets (NPAs) beginning next financial year.

The Department of Financial Services (DFS), under the finance ministry, “vide its order dated October 29 advised broad guidelines to be adopted by all public sector banks (PSBs) on ‘Staff Accountability Framework for NPA Accounts up to Rs 50 crore’ (Other than Fraud Cases)”, the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) said in a statement.

Banks have been advised to revise their staff accountability policies based on these broad guidelines and frame the procedures with approval of the respective boards, it said.

The IBA, being a key stakeholder of the framework, was involved in the process right from the beginning.

These guidelines will help quell apprehension that bankers could be hauled up for their bonafide commercial decision to go wrong. It will also help bankers to take credit decisions faster and help support the economy.

Stressing that the new guidelines will surely boost the morale of the PSBs employees immensely, it said banks will have to complete staff accountability exercises within six months from the date of classification of the account as NPA.

Further, it said that depending on the business size of the banks, threshold limits have been advised for scrutiny of the accountability by the chief vigilance officer (CVO).

Past track record

Past track record of the officials in appraisal or sanction/ monitoring will also be given due weightage, it added.

“At present, different banks are following different procedures for conducting staff accountability exercises. Also, staff accountability exercise is being carried out in respect of all accounts which turn into NPA. This approach not only adversely affects staff morale but also puts a huge strain on the bank’s resources,” it said.

Punitive measures

While punitive action needs to be taken against the officers having malafide intent/involvement, it is essential to ensure that bonafide mistakes are dealt with compassion, IBA said.

It added that there is a need to protect the people taking bonafide business decisions in this competitive environment.

Moreover, IBA said that at a time when the country is in need of an economic boost, slow credit delivery to industries due to the fear of implication is a matter of concern and needs urgent attention.

Banks with the approval of their board may decide on a threshold of Rs 10 lakh or Rs 20 lakh depending on their business size for the need of examining the aspect of staff accountability, it said.
