Dear All




Welcome to the refurbished site of the Reserve Bank of India.





The two most important features of the site are: One, in addition to the default site, the refurbished site also has all the information bifurcated functionwise; two, a much improved search – well, at least we think so but you be the judge.




With this makeover, we also take a small step into social media. We will now use Twitter (albeit one way) to send out alerts on the announcements we make and YouTube to place in public domain our press conferences, interviews of our top management, events, such as, town halls and of course, some films aimed at consumer literacy.




The site can be accessed through most browsers and devices; it also meets accessibility standards.



Please save the url of the refurbished site in your favourites as we will give up the existing site shortly and register or re-register yourselves for receiving RSS feeds for uninterrupted alerts from the Reserve Bank.



Do feel free to give us your feedback by clicking on the feedback button on the right hand corner of the refurbished site.



Thank you for your continued support.

The offerings are not restricted to just one or two e-commerce portals, it said, adding customers can avail 10 per cent cashback on their purchases.

“We rely on and harness the power of data analytics to sharpen our propositions. Over a period, we have observed that an increasing number of our cardholders are shopping online, across a wide range of platforms and product categories, especially during the festive period,” Rama Mohan Rao Amara, Managing Director and CEO, SBI Card, said.

SBI Card also aims to reiterate its brand commitment to offering cardholders convenient, seamless, and secure payment solutions, anywhere, anytime through this offer, he said.

IndusInd Bank inks gold loan co-lending pact with Indel Money, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


In what could be tagged as a maiden tie-up in the gold loan space, private sector lender IndusInd Bank has entered into a co-lending partnership with Kochi-based gold loan firm Indel Money. This is the first-of-its-kind conventional gold loan co-lending partnership between a gold-loan focused NBFC and a commercial bank, the Kochi firm, known for long-term loans against the yellow metal, said in a statement on Wednesday.

Under the tie-up, IndusInd Bank will offer gold loans at competitive rates to its customers, which will be originated by Indel Money, Umesh Mohanan, chief executive of Indel Money, said on Wednesday.

“We will originate and process gold loans based on mutually formulated credit parameters and eligibility criteria, under this co-lending partnership. We will also service the customers through the entire life-cycle of the loans, including sourcing, documentation, collection and loan servicing,” said Mohanan who is also the executive director of the diversified group.

The group is engaged in the car and two-wheeler retail, media and film production and EPC contracts.

While IndusInd Bank will take into its book 80 per cent of the gold loan generated by the co-lending arrangement, the remaining 20 per cent will be funded by Indel Money, Mohanan told PTI without disclosing how much incremental growth he expects in the AUM under this agreement.

The co-lending partnership as a pilot has been successfully running through this month and a national launch is expected shortly, he added.

Srinivas Bonam, head of inclusive banking at IndusInd Bank, said this collaboration is in line with the bank’s strategy to bring efficient and inclusive lending solutions.

Indel Money entered the gold loan market, which used to offer only up to three months tenor for a loan, offering up to two years loan. Even after many years, Indel is the only gold loan company offering two-year gold loans, even though others have also begun to offer up to one-year loans now.

Indel has a network of 191 branches spread across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Puducherry, and is on course to enter Orissa, Bengal and Maharashtra this fiscal, while Gujarat and Rajasthan next financial year. On the other hand, IndusInd has over 2,000 branches across 760 locations.

Indel closed FY21 with a live gold loan AUM of Rs 580 crore, up from Rs 336 crore in FY20 and is targetting Rs 850 crore AUM in the worst-case scenario and Rs 1,000 crore in the best scenario this fiscal, Mohanan had told PTI recently.

Indel, a part of the diversified Indel Corporation with over Rs 1,000 crore revenue last year, made a foray into gold loans in 2013, offering one-year-long loans against gold pledge first and then for two years in an industry that has never looked beyond three months after which they just auction and force-exit the customer.

The impact of its long-term loan offering forced entrenched biggies like the Muthoot groups and of late Manappuram Finance to follow the firm, moving away from their standard three months tenor.

HDFC bank issues 400,000 credit cards after embargo, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


After the embargo on HDFC Bank was lifted last month, they have issued over 400,000 credit cards, a report by the Business Standard says.

This signifies the aggressive growth that the private lender has made since then. This record issuance is as of September 21, 2021.

HDFC Bank was looking to get back to its pre-embargo run rate of 300,000 credit cards per month, which they had planned to achieve in the next 2-3 months. After that, they expected to hit 500,000 credit cards per month from February 2022.

“As a leader in the cards space, we promised, we’d be back with a bang. We are now pushing the pedal not only to acquire new customers, but also to enhance offerings of our existing cards,” the Business Standard report quoted Parag Rao, group head – Payments, Consumer Finance, Digital Banking & IT, HDFC Bank, as saying.

The bank expects to achieve growth in the credit cards business on the back of new alliances with a number of industrial sectors.

Pre-embargo, the open market customer acquisition was less than 20 per cent, which may now go up to 22-24 per cent, the bank has indicated. This is because the bank is coming up with several new initiatives in the upcoming months which include co-branded cards with corporate India spanning pharma, travel, FMCG, hospitality, telecom, and fintech.

“Our strategy to re-invent, create and co-create has been crafted based on the analysis of customers’ buying behaviour, the categories they spend on and the spend patterns. The months that we have spent readying and sharpening our strategy are now bearing fruit. We are ready to unveil best in class offerings and experience to our customers, just in time for festive season,” he added.

As of July (latest data), HDFC Bank has 14.76 million credit cards in the market. Its market share in outstanding credit cards dropped by more than 2 per cent due to the restrictions imposed by the regulator.

2 Stocks To Buy As Suggested By ICICI Securities

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Buy Vesuvius India with upside potential of 28%

ICICI Securities has a ‘Buy’ rating Vesuvius India for a target price of Rs. 1445, i.e. an upside of 28 percent from the last traded price of Rs. 1130 per share.

Vesuvius India (VIL) is a Vesuvius Group (UK) subsidiary. It is a well-known metal flow engineering firm. Shaped refractories are responsible for 37% of revenue in CY20, followed by unshaped refractories (37%), and services (26%).

What should investors do?

“We expect decent earnings in long term led by

operational efficiency, product innovation, R&D and strong steel capex pipeline. Target Price and Valuation: We value VIL at Rs 1445 i.e. 24x on CY22E EPS,” the brokerage has said.

Key triggers for future price-performance:

Key triggers for future price-performance:

  • Focused on acquiring domestic market share through localised manufacturing and innovative product introductions in the manufactured goods category. Currently, manufactured items account for 50-55 percent of total exports.
  • Focusing on the margin-enhancing solution oriented services category, which grew at a 34.4 percent CAGR from CY13 to CY20 and now accounts for 26% of revenue, up from 4% in CY13.
  • Demand for refractories is projected to be driven by increased steel production and technological improvement. With increasing infrastructure spending and a solid steel capex pipeline, India’s crude steel output is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 5.5 percent to 121 MT in FY20P-23E.
  • We expect VIL to return to superior margins of 14-16 percent in the next years as a result of cost reductions and specialised product launches.
  • Balance sheet strength is provided by net debt free b/s, double-digit return ratios, excellent cash flows, and cash and investment of Rs 559 crore.

Buy Bata India with upside potential of 21%

Buy Bata India with upside potential of 21%

With a presence in the men’s, women’s, and children’s footwear segments, Bata India is a key participant in the Indian footwear market.

ICICI Securities has a ‘Buy’ rating Bata India for a target price of Rs. 2120, i.e. an upside of 21 percent from the last traded price of Rs. 1750 per share.

Steady revenue recovery to aid premiumisation play.

“Bata has, over the last one year, delivered ~33% return whereas Relaxo delivered 77% returns owing to increased market share due to enhanced consumer preference towards open footwear. Strategies like cost reduction, focus on omni channel and calibrated expansion of retail network through asset light franchisee route can be structurally positive for Bata’s business. Strong revenue growth coupled with recovery in margin profile would enable Bata to reduce the valuation gap with Relaxo. We maintain our BUY rating on the company, the brokerage has said.

Key triggers for future price performance:

Key triggers for future price performance:

  • Bata has increased its digital initiatives, with e-commerce accounting for 15% of total revenue in FY21. Bata stores fulfilled 60% of marketplace orders and 100% of orders for its own website due to its focus on omni-channel shopping.
  • Bata is currently servicing 25000 multi-branded retailers, resulting in a 12 percent increase in revenue from wholesale distribution. This allows them to take advantage of its brand strength in newer cities. Bata is also expanding into Tier IIIV cities through franchises, adding 64 and seven locations in FY21 and Q1FY22, respectively, bringing the total number of franchise stores to 234 in total.
  • In FY22-24E, we predict the company to add 240 locations net, bringing the total store count to 1765.
  • We anticipate that when the pandemic’s impact fades, it will be able to resume its revenue growth trajectory thanks to its strong brand patronage and pan-India retail reach.
