The banking sector is the lifeline of any modern economy. It is one of the important
Financial pillars of the financial sector, which plays a vital role in the functioning of
an economy. It is very important for economic development of a country that its
financing requirements of trade, industry and agriculture are met with higher degree
of commitment and responsibility. Thus, the development of a country is integrally
linked with the development of banking. In a modern economy, banks are to be
considered not as dealers in money but as the leaders of development. They play an
important role in the mobilization of deposits and disbursement of credit to various
sectors of the economy
.
The banking system reflects the economic health of the country. The strength of an
Economy depends on the strength and efficiency of the financial system, which in turn
depends on a sound and solvent banking system. A sound banking system efficiently
mobilized savings in productive sectors and a solvent banking system ensures that the
bank is capable of meeting its obligation to the depositors
Also advancement in technology has brought mobile and internet banking to the fore.
Banks today are focusing on providing quality service to their customers and upgrading
their technology in order to serve their customers in a better way.
Recent measures by the bank
The government and the Reserve Bank of India, the banking regulator, have undertaken
several measures to strengthen the Indian banking sector. Here are some of the steps as
listed by the India Brand Equity Foundation.
• In July 2016, the government allocated Rs 22,915 crore ($3.4 billion) as capital
infusion in 13 public sector banks, which is expected to improve their liquidity and
lending operations, and shore up economic growth in the country.
• RBI has released the Vision 2018 document, aimed at encouraging greater use of
electronic payments by all sections of society by bringing down paper-based
transactions, increasing the usage of digital channels, and boosting the customer base
for mobile banking.
• RBI has issued guidelines for priority sector lending certificates (PSLCs), according
to which banks can issue four different kinds of PSLCs—those for the shortfall in
agriculture lending, lending to small and marginal farmers, lending to micro enterprises
and for overall lending targets – to meet their priority sector lending targets.
• RBI has allowed additional reserves to be part of tier-1 or core capital of banks, such
as revaluation reserves linked to property holdings, foreign currency translation
reserves and deferred tax assets, which is expected to shore up the capital of state-run
banks and privately owned banks by up to Rs 35,000 crore ($5.14 billion) and Rs 5,000
crore ($734 million) respectively.
• Scheduled commercial banks can grant non-fund based facilities including partial
credit enhancement (PEC), to those customers, who do not avail any fund based facility
from any bank in India.
• Under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY), 250.5 million accounts have been
opened and 192.2 million RuPay debit cards have been issued as of October 12, 2016.
These new accounts have mustered deposits worth almost Rs 44,480 crore ($ 6.67
billion).
• RBI plans to soon come out with guidelines, such as common risk-based know-your-
customer (KYC) norms, to reinforce protection for consumers, especially since a large
number of Indians have now been financially included post the government’s massive
drive to open a bank account for each household.
• Government of India aims to extend insurance, pension and credit facilities to those
excluded from these benefits under PMJDY
The Reserve Bank of India plans to soon come out with guidelines such as common
risks based know your customer norms to reinforce protection for consumers

Evolution of Banking in India:
Present day saving money in India could be followed back to the foundation of Bank
of Bengal (Jan 2, 1809), the primary joint-stock bank supported by Government of
Bengal and administered by the regal sanction of the British India Government. It was
trailed by foundation of Bank of Bombay (Apr 15, 1840) and Bank of Madras (Jul 1,
1843). These three banks, known as the administration banks, denoted the start of the
constrained obligation and joint stock managing an account in India and were likewise
vested with the privilege of note issue.
In 1921, the three administration banks were converged to frame the Imperial Bank
of India, which had numerous parts and duties and that worked as a business bank, a
financier to the legislature and a banker’s bank. Following the foundation of the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 1935, the focal saving money duties that the Imperial
Bank of India was doing arrived at an end, driving it to wind up plainly even more a
business bank. At the season of freedom of India, the capital and stores of the Imperial
Bank remained at Rs. 118 million, stores at Rs. 2751 million and advances at Rs. 723
million and a system of 172 branches and 200 sub workplaces spread everywhere
throughout the nation.
In 1951, in the setting of focal arranging and the need to stretch out bank credit to the
country zones, the Government constituted All India Rural Credit Survey Committee,
which prescribed the production of a state supported foundation that will stretch out
managing account administrations to the rustic regions. Following this, by a
demonstration of parliament gone in May 1955, State Bank of India was built up in
Jul, 1955. In 1959, State Bank of India assumed control over the eight previous state-
related banks as its auxiliaries. To additionally quicken the credit to stream to the
provincial ranges and the key segments of the economy, for example, farming, little
scale industry and so forth., that are of national significance, Social Control over
banks was declared in 1967 and a National Credit Council was set up in 1968 to survey
the interest for credit by these areas and decide asset portions. The time of 1960s
likewise saw critical solidification in the Indian Saving money industry with more
than 500 banks working in the 1950s lessened to 89 by 1969.
For the Indian saving money industry, Jul 19, 1969, was a point of interest day, on
which nationalization of 14 noteworthy banks was declared that each had at least Rs
500 million or more of total stores. In 1980, eight more banks were nationalized. In
1976, the Regional Rural Banks Act appeared, that permitted the opening of specific
local provincial banks to solely take into account the credit prerequisites in the country
regions. These banks were set up together by the focal government, business banks
and the individual neighborhood legislatures of the states in which these are found.
The period following nationalization was portrayed by quick ascent in banks business
and aided in expanding national investment funds. Investment funds rate in the nation
jumped from 10-12% in the two many years of 1950-70 to around 25 % post
nationalization period. Total stores which enlisted yearly development in the scope of
10% to 12% in the 1960s rose to more than 20% in the 1980s. Development of bank
credit expanded from a normal yearly development of 13% in the 1960s to around
19% in the 1980s. Branch arranges extended altogether prompting increment in the
keeping money scope.
The changes prompted huge changes in the quality and maintainability of Indian
managing an account. Notwithstanding noteworthy development in business, Indian
banks experienced sharp development in gainfulness, more prominent accentuation
on prudential standards with higher provisioning levels, decrease in the non-
performing resources and surge in capital sufficiency. All bank branches saw sharp
development in execution and gainfulness. Indian keeping money industry is get
ready for smooth move towards more serious rivalry emerging from encourage
progression of managing an account division that was conceived in the year 2009 as
a piece of the adherence to advancement of the monetary administrations industry.
Structure of Indian Banking Industry:
The country had no central bank prior to the establishment of the RBI. The
RBI is the supreme monetary and banking authority in the country and
controls the banking system in India. It is called the Reserve Bank‟ as it keeps
the reserves of all commercial banks.
2. Commercial Banks:
A commercial bank is a financial institution that provides services, such as
accepting deposits, giving business loans and auto loans, mortgage lending,
and basic investment products like savings accounts and certificates of
deposit.
4. Cooperative Banks:
These banks are organized under the provisions of the Cooperative Credit
Societies Act of the states. The major beneficiary of the Cooperative Banking is
the agricultural sector in particular and the rural sector in general. The cooperative
credit institutions operating in the country are mainly of two kinds:
agricultural (dominant) and non-agricultural. There are two separate cooperative
agencies for the provision of agricultural credit: one for short and medium-term
credit, and the other for long-term credit. The former has three tier and federal
structure.
In 2014, Kotak Bank acquired ING Vysya Bank in a deal valued at ₹15,000 crore
(US$2.3 billion). With the merger, total employment will jump to almost 40,000, and
the count of branches reached 1261.Post the merger, ING Group which controlled ING
Vysya Bank, will own a 7% share in Kotak Mahindra Bank

Unsecured Business Loans by Kotak Mahindra Bank
Unsecured Business Loans are taken by the borrower to begin or upgrade a business
with no insurance. Under this kind of credit the borrower require not to promise any
property or resource. To the extent the Business Loans are viewed as Kotak Mahindra
Bank Limited gives unsecured loaning to SME‟s. The principle purpose behind giving
Unsecured Loans is Intense Competition that is because of extensive number of Public
and Private Sector Banks. Keeping in mind the end goal to build their business banks
are giving unsecured credits in order to give away however much advances as could
reasonably be expected. The opposition is not quite recently limited to banks just but
rather there are numerous little back organizations which give loaning offices to their
clients. Unsecured Lending is the most dangerous loaning as the banks don't know
whether the borrower will have the capacity to reimburse the advance back or not. In
this way an appropriate investigation of every single borrower is required so as to limit
the hazard. So as to choose whether the advance ought to be given to a specific client
or not, the banks need to break down different reports and points of interest which
guides them to know the credit value of a client. According to my experience as an
understudy in Kotak Mahindra Bank I have come to realize that Kotak requests 2 year
money related points of interest of the organization and most recent 6 month managing
an account subtle elements of the client to check his/her credit value. The credit
administrators examine customer’s budgetary points of interest and check his record of
loan repayment with the assistance of CIBIL Score.
A CIBIL score of 700 is thought to be a decent score. In the wake of examining every
one of these points of interest credit administrators at last choose whether to allow the
advance or not and how much sum ought to be conceded.
Key Officials
Strength:
Despite losing market share over the four last years, KMB’s investment
banking and stock broking franchises are amongst the best in India.
KMB has one of the most stable top management teams with almost the entire
top management team being employed with the bank for more than a decade.
A diversified business model across lending, asset management, capital markets
and insurance helps the company to capture the entire value chain in the
Financial Services sector and helps maintaining earnings growth.
KMb is a market leader in car and commercial vehicle finance with strong
appraisal skills in these businesses.
KMB has negligible exposure to stressed sectors such as Power, Infra,
Aviations and Textiles.
Weaknesses:
KMB has a weak liability franchise. Its CASA ratio (at only 28% of its total
deposits and 17% of its total borrowings) is amongst the lowest for Indian
Banks. When it comes to sticky savings deposits. KMB is weaker still SA at
12% of total deposits and-7% of its total liabilities.
KMB has weak presence in corporate banking (it is essentially a retail bank on
Assets side of the balance sheet). However, increasingly the company is
focusing on corporate banking.
KMB is heavily reliant on the interbank market on the „liability‟ side of the
balance sheet.
Opportunities:
KMB has the opportunity to strengthen its liability franchise by increasing its
CASA deposits (through widening of its branch network).
The recent deregulation of the savings rate by the RBI gives KMB an
opportunity to tap new customers and strengthen its CASA base.
It has the opportunity to diversify on the „asset‟ side of the balance sheet by
increasingly market share in corporate banking (currently 1% of the market
share).
KMB can use its presence across asset management; capital markets and
insurance to cross sell its products.
Threats:
Convergence of regulations for NBFCs in line with banks could affect
profitability of the company by 6%-7% given that 27% of its lending business
is through NBFC which has lower regulatory obligation than banks (no SLR
requirement, no CRR requirement, lower employee expenses and easy branch
expenses).
Continued weakness is non-lending businesses (insurance, asset management
and capital markets) could affect KMB‟s earnings growth if the lending
business is unable to maintain its momentum.
The scope of this project is wide and is not restricted to just banks only but is also
applicable to all the financial institutions that provide credit facilities to their
consumers.
Current economic conditions and the startup boom that our country is witnessing
currently is going to increase the demand for unsecured loans. In order to promote
entrepreneurship, more banks and financial institutions should provide unsecured loans
because funding a startup is a major problem that entrepreneurs face. They cannot fund
the entire amount through equity as raising more money through this source will reduce
the stake of the promoters in the company, therefore businesses has to depend upon
banks for funding their ventures and projects. Unsecured loans help promoters in easily
availability of funds as they don’t have to give any collateral security for the amount
borrowed.
Implications:
The project is important as it gives practical insight into the banking operations of a
reputed bank and gives the knowledge on the various processes that banks follow to
approve credit of any particular customer. This project also provides learning on the
analysis of financial statements which can be used not just in banks but can be used in
various other fields like in Investment, Equity Research etc.

whether the applicant has any bank history with Kotak or not. If customer name or
other characteristics match with in CSA team then it will show the result. Bank
maintains the data since 2004 i.e. from the year when bank was incorporated. Data
can be emerged in four ways if customer has past relation or applied with KMBL
CASA team.
i. Reject:- Matches like name, DOB, Residence address etc., RM name,
Amount of Loan applied and tenure for which loan has been applied. Credit
manager name, reason for rejection like not eligible less than 5 to 15, Very
low DCSR, High number of bounces, etc.

etc., Relationship Manager Name, Amount of Loan applied and tenure for
which has been applied. In this case mail has been sent to RM for providing
a more documents like financials of subsidiary company, more banking etc.
External Dedupe:
As far as external search is considered Kotak Mahindra Bank has outsourced this
job to Hi-Tek. This company is responsible to find out the information about the
loan that the customer had taken in past from other banks. With the help of these
results bank can also know whether the application of the customer was rejected or
accepted and in case if it was rejected what was the reason for rejection. Therefore
from these results credit managers can predict the ability of the client to repay the
loan amount and interest.
3. Window Login:
Under this process KYC is required from the applicant. KYC stands for know your
customer. It is the responsibility of the Relationship Manager to ensure that the
documents are there in the file. If in case there are some documents that are not
there in the file then approval from the credit manager is required. All the
documents are checked physically that whether the file contains all the documents
as per the policy or not. Certain things are also checked apart from the documents
for example it is necessary that all the documents of the customer are self-attested,
all the documents must have OSV stamp which stands for originally seen and
verified. KYC consists of the documents that are mentioned below:
a) Completely filled application form.
b) One property should be at the name of the applicant i.e., residence or office
address one should be owned by applicant or his spouse.
c) Ownership proof is electricity bills, water bills or sale deed but in industrial
areas or Old Delhi areas will be considered this as ownership proof. Election
card never considered as ownership proof or identity proof.
d) Photocopy of pan card is mandatory.
e) One latest mobile phone bill.
f) Bank usually gives a loan to those applicants whose turnover is greater than
1cr and exists in business from at least 3 years.
g) In case of Proprietorship Company, Certificate of Registration with VAT
authority will be considered as Date of Incorporation (DOI). In case of private
limited company MOA will be considered as DOI. In case Of trust Form 10 B
will be attached.
h) In MOA first seven points are very important, if company had converted from
proprietorship or taking over the business of other company will be get verified
with these points.
i) In MCA portion we can get the details through PAN like Shareholding pattern
of the company, Present Directors of company are also directors in how many
other companies.
j) Under financial details, Individual tax return should be there with computation
of income, if it‟s not there RM will be asked to bring the Computation of
Income.
k) 3CA, 3CB and 3CD are very important as it shows the Auditors Report, where
we can find the auditors observation, payments about 43 B i.e. statutory dues
like service tax, VAT, ESI & PF payments. About the payment of debtors or
creditors, where the company books of accounts has been kept etc.
l) Along with the company return, all schedules are also required. It helps us to
know the financial strength of the firm or co which is looking for loan.
6. Field Investigation will be initiated on same day once file is log in:
Once the file is login Field Investigation is initiated on the same day. A request is
sent to the agency which conducts Field Investigation for Kotak Mahindra Bank.
Field Investigation is very important before processing the file further. Field
Investigation helps to know banks various things that cannot be known with the
help of documents. Field Investigation is basically a proof to verify that the person
is financially stable not only in financial papers but also in reality.
FI is done for both address i.e. residence address and office address. It plays a very
important role in decision making. As per bank policy, bank will not lend money in
negative areas like Najafgarh or community dominated areas because collections in
these areas are very tough.
Agency provides the details of Field Visit of both address (Office and Residence)
to the bank. These details are as follows.
a) Residence Address:
Employee of Agency visits the client at his residence address and interacts
with him/her and family members to confirm the detail that the customer
has given in the documents. Employee also gives details about the locality
where the customer lives and how he find their lifestyle to be, what was
the condition of the house i.e. whether the applicant is living in an
independent house or flat, whether the premise is owned him or not. Based
on the area agency also tries to find out whether the customer belongs to
Middle Class, Upper Middle Class or Upper Class. Copy of Pan Card of
applicant is taken as the proof of visit.
Field Visit also helps to disclose certain things that were not present in the
documents. For Example: In one case, with the help of field investigation,
the agency came to know that the customer belongs to a political party and
that case was rejected on the basis of that detail only because as per the
bank policy no loan will be provided to politicians.
b) Office Address:
Employee of the agency visits the office address of the applicant. The
purpose of this visit is to find out the details like overall working
environment of the office, condition of the office, number of employees
working. It also includes little interaction with the employees of the
client‟s company. If the customer is manufacturer or trader, the employee
of the agency also like to find out how much stock does the customer keeps,
where he stores his inventories and the nature of business.
If the customer has given details of guarantor then field investigation
would be conducted for that guarantor also.
The credit score helps loan providers quickly determine, who they would like
to evaluate further to provide credit. The CIBIL Trans Union Score ranges from
300 to 900. According to CIBIL data loan providers prefer credit scores which
are greater than 750. Once the loan provider has decided which set of
loan applicants to evaluate, it analyses the CIR in order to determine the
applicant's eligibility. Eligibility basically means the applicant's ability to take
additional debt and repay additional outflows given their current commitments.
It helps the bank to know performance of the applicant in different types of
loans such as:
a) Home Loan
b) Personal Loan
c) Auto Loan
d) Business Loan
e) Credit Card
Financial Analysis Tool is a format prepared by Kotak Mahindra Bank under which the
financial details of the client are entered i.e. details regarding Income Statement and
Balance Sheet. FAT is considered to be very important as it helps credit managers
analysing the financials of the applicant. It facilitates comparative analysis of the
financials of the client with the previous years. It contains all the details of Income
Statement as well as Balance Sheet. CPA team just have to enter the details in the given
format and it automatically calculates the percentage change in figures and all the ratios
as it contains formula for everything. FAT is required in Non-Surrogate products only
because under Surrogate products only latest 6 months banking is required for analysis
while Non-Surrogate products requires banking as well as the financials of the
company.
My Industry Mentor had told me that this very important part in the credit approval
process, therefore you should devote some in learning how to prepare FAT. For the first
20 days of my internship I have learned and prepared FAT of loan applicants. The
Format of the FAT has been shown below.

Apart from these details various other things are also included which helps credit
mangers in analysis like various ratios, existing and new EMI‟s of the clients, Total
Commitments, Debtors Collection Period, Creditors Collection Period, VAT details,
Service Tax details, Operating Profit and Net Profit Margins. Following are the ratios
which are included under FAT are:
1. Profitability Ratio Analysis:
a. Gross Margins Ratio:
Gross margin ratio is a profitability ratio that compares the gross margin of a
business to the net sales. This ratio measures how profitable a company sells its
inventory or merchandise.
The debt service coverage ratio is a financial ratio that measures a company's
ability to service its current debts by comparing its net operating income with
its total debt service obligations. In other words, this ratio compares a
company's available cash with its current interest, principle, and sinking fund
obligations.
This ratio is very important ratio for the lenders because creditors not only want
to know the cash position and cash flow of a company, they also want to know
how much debt it currently owes and the available cash to pay the current and
future debt.
2. Ratio Analysis from Balance Sheet:
a. Debt-Equity Ratio:
The debt to equity ratio is a financial, liquidity ratio that compares a company's
total debt to total equity. The debt to equity ratio shows the percentage of
company financing that comes from creditors and investors. A higher debt to
equity ratio indicates that more creditor financing (bank loans) is used than
investor financing (shareholders). Banks generally avoid to give loans to any
business who has high debt-equity ratio as it implies that the business has
already other commitments to fulfil.

Banking Observation:
Apart from all these financial details Banking is also required for Surrogate as well as
Non-Surrogate products. Banking is important because it is required to support the
financial statements provided by the client and often disclose some details which are
not there in other documents. For Example: Kotak Bank requires 2 year financials,
when I was working on a file, the client has provided Financial Statements for 2 years
i.e. one from April 2015 to March 2016 and second from April 2014 to March 2015
and latest 6 months banking. After observing his banking I have founded a loan that he
has taken in May 2016 which was not there in the financial statements provided by him.
Banking is a crucial in credit analysis because the lender can know about the major
business activities that has taken place in client‟s business like deposits, withdrawals,
transfers, interest earned, penalties paid.
Lender can also know about the EMI‟s that the client is paying currently and whether
he/she is paying at regular intervals or not and whether the latest 6 months banking
supports the top line that the customer has mentioned. Sometimes it may happen that 6
months banking do not supports the top line, in such cases credit managers look whether
the applicant is doing some business which is seasonal. In such situation credit manager
tells the relationship manager to bring 1 year banking of the applicant.
Points of Banking Analysis:
a. EMI:
An equated monthly installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a
borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. Equated monthly
installments are used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over
a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full. With the help of CIBIL we
can know how much EMI is the applicant is paying on his loan and then it can be
verified from the banking statement that he is paying his EMI at regular intervals.
b. Transfer Entries:
There are many transfer entries which can be seen in banking statements, the job of
credit manager at this stage is to find out how many transfers are there which have
been used for business purpose. Sometimes to show more credit amount in his/her
banking statements, people transfers money from their other accounts. Transfers
Entries can also help credit managers to get an idea of the nature of client’s business
and who are the main suppliers and buyers.
c. Inward Returns:
Sometimes it can happen that the client has given cheque for payment and the bank
returns back the amount to the applicant account due to some reasons. Now the
reasons can be Insufficient Fund in the account or any technical default.
Too many Inward Returns in the banking statement is not good for the applicant as
it gives the image that the applicant is not able to maintain enough balance in his
account so that he can make payments.
Following is the table which shows how inwards is shown in banking statement
Kotak Mahindra Bank A/c No. 00001010
d. Outward Returns:
Outwards returns are somewhat similar to Inward Returns. The difference is that
here the payment that the client was supposed to receive has been cancelled, reasons
being the same i.e. Insufficient funds or any other technical default. Inwards returns
are more important as compared to Outward Returns because the client is not at
fault in outward returns but he is responsible for Inward Returns.
Following is the table which shows how outward returns appear in banking
statements:

e. Sweep Transfers:
A sweep account is a bank account that automatically transfers amounts that exceed,
or fall short of, a certain level into a higher interest-earning investment option at the
close of each business day. Commonly, the excess cash is swept into money market
funds. In a sweep program, a bank's computers analyse customer use of checkable
deposits and "sweep" funds into money market deposit accounts. Sweep accounts
are a typical business tool, especially for small businesses that rely on daily cash
flow but want to maximize earning potential on sitting cash reserves. A business
sets a minimum balance for its main checking account, over which any funds are
swept into a higher interest investment product. If the balance ever dips below the
threshold, the funds are swept back into the checking account from the investment
account. Therefore incomes generated from such transfers are not considered as
business income.
f. Overdraft and Cash Credit:
Overdrafts and Cash Credit is required by small businesses for arranging amount
for their working capital, in return the business is liable to pay interest to lender for
availing these services. In such cases bank will require sanction letter from the
applicant and would also like to know how much amount has been utilised by the
company. Credit Mangers would also ensure that whether the applicant has paid
interest on overdraft timely or not with the help of banking.
