INTRODUCTION
Consumer banking plays an important role in banks’ profitability. Although the growing
economy and further improvements in the level of household income have created many
opportunities for consumer banking, there is also increasingly strong competition amongst
the financial institutions due to the liberalization and globalization of the banking industry.
In order to remain competitive, banks have to take steps to introduce new consumer banking
products and services that will make banking more convenient and accessible to the public.

HISTORY OF BANKING INDUSTRY
Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century with The
General Bank of India coming into existence in 1786. This was followed by Bank
of Hindustan. Both these banks are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in
India is the State Bank of India being established as “The Bank of Bengal" in
Calcutta in June 1806. A couple of decades later, foreign banks like Credit
Lyonnais started their Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time,
Calcutta was the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British
Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and prospered.
The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, which was established
in 1865. By the 1900s, the market expanded with the establishment of banks such
as Punjab National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of India, in1906, in Mumbai
- both of which were founded under private ownership.
The Reserve Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating the
Indian banking sector from 1935.After India's independence in 1947; the Reserve
Bank was nationalized and given broader powers.
EARLY HISTORY
At the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the
modern sense of the term. At the time of the American Civil War, a void was
created as the supply of cotton to Lancashire stopped from the Americas. Some
banks were opened at that time which functioned as entities to finance industry,
including speculative trades in cotton. With large exposure to speculative
ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period could not survive
and failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with

banks. Subsequently, banking in India remained the exclusive domain of
Europeans for next several decades until the beginning of the 20th century.
The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India. At the
beginning of the 20th century, Indian economy was passing through a relative
period of stability. Around five decades have elapsed since the India's First war
of Independence, and the social, industrial and other infrastructure have
developed. At that time there were very small banks operated by Indians, and
most of them were owned and operated by particular communities. The banking in
India was controlled and dominated by the presidency banks, namely, the Bank of
Bombay, the Bank of Bengal, and the Bank of Madras - which later on merged to
form the Imperial Bank of India, and Imperial Bank of India, upon India’s
independence, was renamed the State Bank of India.
There were also some exchange banks, as also a number of Indian joint
stock banks. All these banks operated in different segments of the economy. The
presidency banks were like the central banks and discharged most of the
functions of central banks. They were established under charters from the British
East India Company. The exchange banks, mostly owned by the Europeans,
concentrated on financing of foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were
generally undercapitalized and lacked the experience and maturity to compete
with the presidency banks, and the exchange banks. There was potential for
many new banks as the economy was growing. Lord Curzon had observed then in
the context of Indian banking:
"In respect of banking it seems we are behind the times. We are like some old
fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into separate and
cumbersome compartments."
Under these circumstances, many Indians came forward to set up banks, and
many banks were set up at that time, a number of which have survived to the

present such as Bank of India and Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of
Baroda, and Canara Bank.
POST-INDEPENDENCE
The partition of India in 1947 had adversely impacted the economies of Punjab
and West Bengal, and banking activities had remained paralyzed for months.
India's independence marked the end of a regime of the Laissez-faire for the
Indian banking. The Government of India initiated measures to play an active role
in the economic life of the nation, and the Industrial Policy Resolution adopted by
the government in 1948 envisaged a mixed economy. This resulted into greater
involvement of the state in different segments of the economy including banking
and finance.
The major steps to regulate banking included: In 1948, the Reserve Bank
of India, India's central banking authority, was nationalized, and it became an
institution owned by the Government of India. In 1949, the Banking Regulation
Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate,
control, and inspect the banks in India." The Banking Regulation Act also
provided that no new bank or branch of an existing bank may be opened without a
licensed from the RBI, and no two banks could have common directors. However,
despite these provisions, control and regulations, banks in India except the State
Bank of India, continued to be owned and operated by private persons. This
changed with the nationalization of major banks in India on 19th July, 1969.
NATIONALIZATION
By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to
facilitate the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it has
emerged as a large employer, and a debate has ensued about the possibility to
nationalize the banking industry. Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India
expressed the intention of the GOI in the annual conference of the All India

Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank Nationalization."
The paper was received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move was swift
and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalized the 14 largest
commercial banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969.
Jayaprakash Narayan, a national leader of India, described the step as a
"masterstroke of political sagacity." Within two weeks of the issue of the
ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies (Acquition and
Transfer of Undertaking) Bill and it received the presidential approval on 9th
August 1969. A second dose of nationalization of 6more commercial banks
followed in 1980. The stated reason for the nationalization was to give the
government more control of credit delivery. With the second dose of
nationalization, the GO controlled around 91% of the banking business of India.
After this, until the 1990s, the nationalized banks grew at a pace of around 4%,
closer to the average growth rate of the Indian economy.
LIBERALIZATION
In the early 1990s the then Narasimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalization and gave licenses to a small number of private banks, which came
to be known as New Generation tech-savvy banks, which included banks such as
UTI Bank (now re-named as Axis Bank) (the first of such new generation banks to
be set up), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in
the economy of India, kick started the banking sector in India, which has seen
rapid growth with strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely,
government banks, private banks and foreign banks.
The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed
relaxation in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors
in banks may be given voting rights, which could exceed the present cap of 10%,
at present it has gone up to 49% with some restrictions. The new policy shook the

Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this time, were used to the 4-6-4
method (Borrow at 4%, Lend at 6%, Go home at 4) of functioning.
The new wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savvy methods of
working for traditional banks. All this led to the retail boom in India. People not
just demanded more from their banks but also received more.
CURRENT SITUATION
Currently (2007-08), banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply,
product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a
challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets
and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and
transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in its
region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure
from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to
manage volatility but without any fixed exchange rate-and this has mostly been
true. With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some
time-especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially
retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong.
One may also expect M& as, takeovers, and asset sales. In March 2006,the
Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its stake in Kotak
Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%.
This is the first time an investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in
a private sector bank since the RBI announced norms in 2005 that any stake
exceeding 5% in the private sector banks would need to be vetted by them.
Currently, India has88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector
banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private banks
(these do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on

stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over
53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs

HISTORY OF AXIS INDUSTRY
Axis Bank, previously called UTI Bank, was the first of the new private banks to have
begun operations in 1994, after the Government of India allowed new private banks to be
established. The Bank was promoted jointly by the Administrator of the Specified
Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India (UTI-I), Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC),
General Insurance Corporation Ltd., National Insurance Company Ltd., The New India
Assurance Company, The Oriental Insurance Corporation and United Insurance Company
Ltd. UTI-I holds a special position in the Indian capital markets and has promoted many
leading financial institutions in the country. As on the year ended March 31, 2006 the Bank
had a net worth of Rs. 2872.19 crores with the public holding (other than promoters) at
56.65%. Net Profit for the year was up 44.98% to Rs485.08 cores.
Axis Bank stands apart from its private sector competitors — ICICI Bank and HDFC
Bank — in one crucial respect. While the other two banks have envisaged retail banking as a
key area of strategic emphasis — with the share of the retail business (both on the funding
and asset sides)growing strongly year after year— the share of retail business, particularly
retail assets, has actually come down quite sharply in the case of Axis Bank. The numbers
here are quite interesting. For ICICI Bank, retail loans now (as of June 2007) account for as
much as 70 per cent of the bank’s total loan book of Rs 2,00,000 crore. For HDFC Bank,

retail assets are around57 per cent (Rs 28,000 crore) of the total loans as of March 2007. In
the case of Axis Bank, retail loans have declined from 30 per cent of the total loan book of Rs
25,800 crore in June 2006 to around 23 per cent of loan book of Rs.41,280 crore (as of June
2007). Even over a longer period, while the overall asset growth for Axis Bank has been quite
high and has matched that of the other banks, retail exposures grew at a slower pace. If the
sharp decline in the retail asset book in the past year in the case of Axis Bank is part of a
deliberate business strategy, this could have significant implications (not necessarily
negative) for the overall future profitability of the business. Despite the relatively slower
growth of the retail book over a period of time and the outright decline seen in the past year,
the bank’s fundamentals are quite resilient. With the high-level of mid-corporate and
wholesale corporate lending the bank has been doing, one would have expected the net
interest margins to have been under greater pressure.
The bank, though, appears to have insulated such pressures. Interest margins, while
they have declined from the 3.15 per cent seen in 2003-04, are still hovering close to the 3
per cent mark. (The comparable margins for ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank are around 2.60 per
cent and 4 per cent respectively. The margins for ICICI Bank are lower despite its much
larger share of the higher margin retail business, since funding costs also are higher). Such
strong emphasis and focus on lending also does not appear to have had any deleterious
impact on the overall asset quality. The bank’s non-performing loans are even now, after five
years of extremely rapid asset build-up, below 1 per cent of its total loans. From a medium-
term perspective, it appears that Axis Bank could be charting out a niche for itself in the
private bank space. It appears to be following a business strategy quite different from the
high-volume and commodity-style approach of ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. That strategy
also has its pluses in terms of the relatively higher margins in some segments of the retail
business and the in-built credit risk diversification (and mitigation) achieved through a widely
dispersed retail credit portfolio. But, as indicated above, Axis Bank has been to able to
maintain the quality of its loan portfolio despite the concentrated nature of wholesale
corporate lending. The Bank today is capitalized to the extent of Rs. 357.48 crore with the
public holding (other than promoters) at 57.03%. The Bank's Registered Office is at

Ahmadabad and its Central Office is located at Mumbai. Presently, the Bank has a very wide
network of more than 608 branch offices and Extension Counters.
The Bank has a network of over 2595 ATMs providing 24 hrs a day banking
convenience to its customers. This is one of the largest ATM networks in the country. The
Bank has strengths in both retail and corporate banking and is committed to adopting the
best industry practices internationally in order to achieve excellence. Axis Bank continued its
robust growth in the December 2007 quarter and has once again beaten analysts’
expectations on all parameters. However, the difference this quarter is that the growth in
profitability has been driven more by a significant jump in the net interest income (core
business) rather than non-interest income unlike in last several quarters. Net interest income
leaped by 91 per cent y-o-y to Rs 747 crore—the highest in the past four quarters—as
advances and deposits grew by 50 per cent and 35 per cent respectively and also there was
an increase in net interest margin (NIM). Its NIM went up by 63 basis points q-o-q and 91
basis points y-o-y to3.91 per cent. This was because of a jump in yield on advances while
CASA (current and savings account) was maintained at 45 per cent sequentially. Though
other income went up 74 per cent y-o-y to Rs 488 crore, it was still lower than the 87 per cent
growth reported in the September 2007 quarter. The bank’s fee income increased by 81 per
cent to Rs 348 crore and trading profits were up 65 per cent to Rs 131 crore in Q3. All these
factors led to doubling of operating profit to Rs 672 crore while operating expenses went up
67 per cent. However, its net profit grew relatively slower at 66 per cent to Rs 307 crore as
provisions and contingencies went up 290 per cent and a 68 per cent jump was recorded in
tax provisioning. However, growth in net profit is still higher than previous three quarters and
has been higher than expectations.
Axis Bank is relatively immune to the slowdown in the retail credit and high cost of
funding. This is because retail credit’s share of 25 per cent has gone down from 28 per cent
last year and other advances like corporate, SME (small and medium enterprises) and
agriculture loans have grown faster than retail-advances.

REASONS FOR CHANGES IN UTI BANK
Few banks have gone in for a brand makeover; UTI Bank is one of them that have changed
its name to Axis Bank. It seems to be quite clear from the strategic decision about the way
forward, the change in identity, the positioning of the bank, the pros and cons of pursuing
organic growth, etc
.
One of the reasons for bringing changes in the corporate identity is to enhance the image
of the bank because now they want to become an MNC bank.
Why did the bank decide to change its brand name?
Bank has done this partly because there are shareholder-unrelated entities that carry the UTI
brand, which was becoming increasingly untenable. If there are no shareholder relations
between the two organizations, how can they actually share a common name? When UTI
was split into two vehicles, the brand was given to UTI Mutual Fund and others were
permitted to use the brand only till January 2008. When it became clear to the bank that it
was no longer tenable, they decided to have a brand of our own. The name Axis was chosen
as it means a line of reference, around which everything is measured. Their feeling is that
with time, people will think of the bank brand as Axis Bank. The tough test was whether in the
next six months people would forget old name or not. Otherwise, nothing has really changed
in the bank. They raised capital worth Rs 4,500 crore, which helped Axis Bank to start off on
a strong footing. They feel that this capital would last at least for three years in the case of
pure organic growth.
The UTI brand had a quasi-government sovereign ring to it, especially when it goes outside
metros. It was an advantage, then why bank have taken this decision on cost of losing it?
Bank’s customer base is very different from the customer base of a mutual fund. So they
have never really able to ride on the brand. The pace at which customer base have grown
indicates the level of customer service bank provide. Also, the UTI brand was seen as a

public sector brand. They were board-managed private sector entity. By changing the name,
Bank has reinforced this image.
Where Axis Bank positioned from the business point of view?
Axis Bank has taken first step towards seeing themselves as becoming an MNC bank from
India. They have presence in four overseas locations — Singapore, Hong Kong, China and
Dubai. This is part of a journey for becoming a pan-Asian bank and then, eventually, a bank
that is more multinational. They are foraying into smaller towns and entering district
headquarters in a big way. In the next thirty months, they want to be present in 450 district
headquarters. They have received licenses to open 150 branches and 500 ATMs. Also they
are planning to open 125branches by July 2008, half of which would be in large cities. They
are also setting up a large agriculture financing business, for which they need to be close to
farmers; hence the bank is going to open branches in villages. Besides, the bank has set up
priority banking branches for customers with deposits of over Rs 5 lakh. It is one of the
fastest growing customer bases of our bank, growing at 4% each year. They have three such
specialized branches now, and planning to have one each in all the major metros.
Would it have been very tempting for the bank to stay on the existing brand
by paying a higher royalty, given the cost and time involved in this
exercise?
In recent years, the Bank has contributed more than their fair share on restoration of the UTI
brand. But when it was clear to them that there was no other option, they decided to bite the
bullet. Bank decided to assume their very own identity. The UTI identity came to the bank
from the undivided Unit Trust of India (UTI). The split of UTI was the starting point for what
was eventually a search for a new identity.
When Axis Bank looks at private sector peers, there are missing links, since
most of them have a mutual fund and insurance business?

Axis Bank has tried to focus on Commercial banking since their inception. As the first step
towards diversion, bank has set up an AMC to manage a private equity venture.
They would be in a position to launch the first trenched of the fund by end of September
2008.The AMC will provide equity support for infrastructure projects. There are not many
private equity funds here, focusing on infrastructure projects
