The Finance Ministry has asked all banks, including private sector lenders, to open branches in locations with population of more than 5,000 in the under-banked districts by September 2012. RBI has identified 296 districts, which are under-banked, spread across 18 states and union territories.
“Such branches could initially have lesser staff, say 2 persons, with ATM facilities,” Finance Ministry said in its recent guideline on financial inclusion. The staff strength could be increased as the business grows, it said.
The new bank branch opened would also provide banking services in the adjoining areas. “While planning for branch expansion, it may be seen that in the unbanked areas the branches are available within a radial distance of 5 km,” it said.
As per the branch authorisation policy of RBI, prior approval of the central bank is not required to open branches in Tier-III to Tier-VI areas. In fact, opening bank branches in the under banked districts of the under banked states would entitle the banks to seek branches in Tier-I towns under their annual branch authorization plan.
Such a branch would be assigned a service area by the State Level Bankers Committee covering one or more Gram Panchayats, it said. In other districts, it said, the banks must try to open as many brick and mortar branches, in their service areas, in habitations having population of 10,000 and above by September 2012.
It is to be noted that only about 5 per cent of the nearly six lakh villages in the country have bank branches.
With the Financial Inclusion Plan under implementation, around 73,000 villages, having population of 2000 and above, would be provided facilities for banking services by March 2012.
As of June 2011, banks have opened banking outlets in 1.07 lakh villages up from just 54,258 as on March 2010. Out of these, 22,870 villages have been covered through brick and mortar branches, 84,274 through business correspondents outlets and 460 through other modes like mobile vans, etc.
Seven of the top 10 Indian companies have lost more than Rs 28,000 crore in their market capitalisation in just a week's time, and Coal India was the hardest hit with a loss of over Rs 7,000 crore.
The seven companies witnessed whopping drop of Rs 28,960 crore in their combined valuations amid a weak market which saw the 30-scrip benchmark Sensex losing 1.36 per cent.
"It is a highly volatile market because of eurozone crises. Stocks are reacting to their September quarter numbers and on any negative cue stocks are getting hammered, which in turn is impacting their market capitalisation," Ashika Stock Brokers Research Head Paras Bothra said.
But three companies -- Bharti Airtel, NTPC and SBI -- defied the broader market trend and witnessed improvement in their market capitalisation totalling to Rs 7,324 crore.
Commenting on these three stocks, Bothra said Bharti Airtel and NTPC surged after their September quarter results beat street expectations. While, SBI which has been beaten down quite sharply in the recent past saw buying activity at lower levels. Besides, the stock is also on an uptrend ahead of its results, Bothra said.
There was no change in the rankings of the top 10 listed companies, market leader RIL retained the top slot, while state-owned ONGC was the second most valued company, followed by country's largest software services exporter TCS.
State-owned Coal India was the fourth most valued company, followed by ITC, Infosys, Bharti, NTPC, SBI and HDFC Bank.
State-owned Coal India, which is facing drop in output, saw its market valuation falling from Rs 2,13,524 crore as on October 28, to Rs 2,06,134 crore as on Friday.
RIL was the second worst hit in terms of market valuation as it lost Rs 6,024 crore and its m-cap as on November 4 stood at Rs 2,88,001 crore.
During last week, ONGC's m-cap eroded by Rs 5,946 crore to Rs 2,37,543 crore, TCS' market valuation slipped by Rs 4,022 crore to Rs 2,15,118 crore, ITC m-cap fell Rs 3,731 crore to Rs 1,63,505 crore, Infosys fell by Rs 1,754 crore to Rs 1,62,447 crore and HDFC Bank's m-cap tanked by Rs 93 crore to Rs 1,12,594 crore.
Bank offering savings and checking products, non-recourse loans for self-directed retirement plans, specialized loans for commercial and residential properties, and student loans for education. If you are taking loans to meet your expenses for education, you must comply with all the terms and conditions laid by your loan provider. If you fail to repay your loan within the delinquency period provided by your loan lender, you are bound to get categorized as a defaulter. The consequences of a defaulted student loan are extremely harsh. The more you get entangled, the tougher it will be to come out. Therefore, you should start hunting for the right initiative from the very day you are informed about your defaulted status.
The very first step is to contact your loan lender. Call him immediately and fix a date so that you can sit for a discussion with him. For obvious reasons, you will be asked to state valid reasons for your incapability to repay your loan in time. Make sure you state correct reasons and convince him or otherwise you might be asked further questions out of suspicion. As a result, you might be denied assistance. Remember, your lender can only arrange you a flexible repayment scheme and this can only help you make the repayment in the shortest possible time period. The sooner you release yourself from the chains of defaulted student loan, the safer you are for the rest of your life.
Sometimes you are compelled to take multiple loans at a time. The problem arises during the time of repayment. You are required to keep in mind all the due dates along with the interest rates of each and every loan you need. Well, you don't need to take pains once you apply for defaulted student loan consolidation. With this option, you will be able to merge all loans and make a single payment. Moreover, the interest rates will be lowered and the time period to make the repayment also stretches.
Defaulters can even join a loan rehabilitation program. Here the applicant having defaulted student loan will have to make a series of nine consecutive payments to the US Department of Education. Once the payments are made successfully, his/her credit score will improve and he will regain all the loan facilities enjoyed by a student.
As far as the debt collection laws are concerned, any member from a debt collection company is not allowed to harass any student to obtain a collection agency student loan. If you are one of them who have faced ill treatments from debt collection agents, you can always forward complains to your respective departments. When it comes to obtaining a collection agency student loan, it should be done with patience.
Weeks before the new Takeover Code came into effect, there was a flurry of open offers from companies to buy back their shares. The new Takeover Code is more shareholder-friendly because it has increased the trigger for compulsory open offers and raised the minimum offer size. The minimum size is about 26% now, compared with 20% under the previous Code. Hence, many companies rushed to file their open offer documents under the old Takeover Code norms so that they could restrict their open offer size to 20%.
Let's simplify this further. If you acquire a stake of 25% or more in a listed company, you are required to give an open offer to the remaining shareholders. This open offer means you are ready to buy 26% more shares of the company at the same price at which you acquired the original 25% stake. The open offer price is generally at a premium to the market price of the shares. This provides an opportunity to the remaining shareholders, especially external and minority shareholders, to tender their shares at the same acquisition price.
Speculative buying: Open offers often trigger speculative buying and cause the share prices to shoot up temporarily. However, such offers can be tricky if you enter at the wrong time. If a company receives more shares than it plans to buy, it rejects the excess applications. If you have bought the shares, hoping to sell them to the company at a higher price, you may end up with losses after the offer closes and the share price recedes. So, before you decide to participate in the open offer, keep the following points in mind:
Acceptance ratio: Its tells you how likely it is for your shares to be accepted by the company. This ratio is calculated as the percentage stake in the open offer divided by the percentage stake held by external shareholders. For instance, if the percentage stake in the open offer is 26% and the percentage stake held by external shareholders is 52%, then the acceptance ratio is 0.5. This means the company will accept one share for every two shares held by external shareholders. The higher the acceptance ratio, the more the chances of the shares being accepted in the open offer.
Tax implications: If you sell your shares back to the company, the transaction will not be routed through a stock exchange and, hence, no securities transaction tax will be paid on it. So, the investor will not be eligible for the exemption available to equity investors who buy shares through a stock exchange. The transaction will be treated as a private deal between two entities and any short-term capital gain will be added to the income of the investor, while the longterm capital gain will be taxed at a flat rate of 10% or 20% after indexation. The investor can opt for any one of these methods.
An open offer provides the existing shareholders an opportunity to exit at a premium to the market price. Non-shareholders can also gain by engaging in arbitrage buying of shares in the secondary market and tendering them in the open offer at a higher price. However, one must remember that this is a technical subject and any investment by retail investors should be done under the guidance of financial advisers. However, if played right, it can be a good chance for shareholders to make a neat profit in the season of open offers.
The mid-size private sector lender IndusInd Bank became the third bank to increase the pricing on savings account deposits by up to 200 basis points.
“The savings accounts balance up to Rs. 1 lakh will get 5.5 per cent per annum, while those above Rs. 1 lakh will attract 6 per cent. The new rates will be effective tomorrow,” the city-based bank said in a statement here this afternoon.
The Hinduja Group-promoted bank has also revised its base rate and BPLR upwards by 25 basis points to 10.75 per cent and 20.75 per cent respectively effective today in line with the increase in repo rates by the Reserve Bank.
While ‘Yes Bank’ was the first to hike pricing on savings deposits uniformly by 200 basis points irrespective of the size of the balance, on the very same day, when the Reserve Bank freed it, Kotak Mahindra Bank followed suit yesterday with a dual pricing in the similar manner as IndusInd has effected from today.
Began in 1994, IndusInd Bank has 350 branches and 666 ATMs spread across 247 locations, besides one representative office in London and Dubai.
Savings bank rate was the last of the regulated rates in the domestic banking industry. It was raised by 50 bps in May to four per cent after being unchanged for 8 long years.
Against this, term deposit rates are as high as 8-10 per cent.
While the RBI, for long, has been keen on freeing it, the industry body IBA was opposing it saying any such move would push up the costs of banking services like ATMs charges, money transfers and cheque books to protect margins.
The second largest private lender HDFC Bank head Aditya Puri was categorical in stating that “whether banks increased the SB rates or not, the cost of banking services would definitely go up following the RBI move“.
The RBI move is not good news for larger banks with high savings account balances like SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, PNB and Axis Bank or any other state-run banks, Deutsch Bank said in a note.
