HISTORY
Established in 1994, the Axis Bank Ltd was the first private sector bank in the liberalization
era with its registered office at Ahmadabad and corporate office in Mumbai. The main promoters of
this bank were Unit Trust of India, LIC of India, GIC of India (General Insurance Corporation).
Within the span of 10 years, this bank has had a momentous growth .Today it has 350 branches and
extension counters across the country .Each branch is fully computerized with a centralized
database at Mumbai and disaster management backup at Bangalore. The branches are designed in
such a manner as to offer the full range corporate and retail banking, international banking, treasury
management, merchant and investment banking. All in all the clients are assured of efficient and
hassle free banking.
Axis Bank was formed as UTI when it was incorporated in 1994 when Government of India
allowed private players in the banking sector. The bank was sponsored together by the administrator of
the specified undertaking of the Unit Trust of India, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and
General Insurance Corporation ltd. and its subsidiaries namely National insurance company ltd., the
New India Assurance Company, the Oriental Insurance Corporation and United Insurance Company
Ltd. However, the name of UTI was changed because of the disagreement on terms and conditions of
the bank authority over certain stipulations including royalty charged over the name from UTI AMC.
The bank also wanted to have a new name from its pan-Indian as well as international business
perspective. So from July 30, 2007 onwards the UTI bank was named as Axis Bank.

7
Change in Name
UTI Bank decided to change its name to Axis Bank.
REASONS : The change in the bank's name follows a year-long tiff between UTI Mutual Fund and the
bank over the use of the brand name. UTI brand was given in 1994 by its promoters and UTI Bank
could use the brand only till January 2008 as per Govt directives. Many unrelated shareholder entities
like UTI Technological Services, UTI Investor Services and UTI Securities were carrying the UTI
brand. The board feels that the need for the change of name has arisen from the brand confusion that
the UTI brand generates
NEW LOGO: The bank has retained the burgundy color, but has changed the logo. The logo uses the
alphabet 'A' from the word Axis. The logo depicts a strong growth path for the bank supported by a
strong base, indicating that the bank is moving on from a position of strength. Earlier, the bank's logo
used the letters U, T and I.
The bank is likely to spend around Rs50 crore in the re-branding exercise.
UTI Bank: Now Axis Bank
The name of the country's third largest private sector lender UTI Bank has been officially
changed to the Axis Bank Ltd with effect from 31st July, 2007. Some reasons for change in name of
'UTI Bank to Axis Bank' - are:
1) The UTI brand is owned by UTI Asset Management Company.
2) UTI Bank to shed its brand name after the split of the erstwhile UTI. Though UTI was a government
institution, its subsidiary UTI Bank has been categorized as a private sector bank, according to RBI
guidelines.

8
3) UTI Bank was started as a part of the entire UTI (Unit Trust of India) Group. But, when there were
losses incurred by UTI ( due to failure of US 64 scheme probably ) because of other reasons, it was
decided by RBI that UTI Bank should be separated as private sector bank, as several unrelated
entities were using the UTI brand.
4) The change of name to Axis Bank has been cleared from shareholders and regulators.
5) The government still has a 26% stake in UTI Bank. This stake is up for sale.
Regarding the re-branding strategy, Executive director (corporate strategy) of the bank R Ashok
Kumar said the bank had hired advertising firm O&M to help in creating awareness of the new brand
across the country. The bank would change logo and color of logo, he had said, adding, the bank is
likely to spend around Rs 50 crore (Rs 500 million) in the re-branding exercise

Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a ratio of a bank's capital to its risk. National regulators track a
bank's CAR to ensure that it can absorb a reasonable amount of loss and are complying with their
statutory Capital requirements. Capital adequacy ratio is the ratio which determines the capacity of the
bank in terms of meeting the time liabilities and other risks such as credit risk, operational risk, etc.
Here, in case of AXIS Bank we can see that its CAR showed a sudden dip in the year 2008 but after
that it has shown a steady rise for the next 2 years which is a good sign for its depositors and investors.

Debt-Equity Ratio:
A measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total
liabilities by stockholders' equity. It indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company is using
to finance its assets.
Table: 1.2
Mar‟ 06 Mar‟ 07 Mar‟ 08 Mar‟ 09 Mar‟ 10
70.93 85.22 103.11 187.19 235.24
The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E) is a financial ratio indicating the relative proportion of
shareholders' equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. Here, in case of AXIS Bank we can
see that the Debt-Equity ratio has increased over the years. This is because its equity capital showed no
growth from the year 2006 to 2008 and it decreased by around Rs250 crore in 2009 and remained the
same for the year 2010. But its debt capital has shown a steady increase over the past 5 years. From this
we can infer that since AXIS Bank is a public sector undertaking it depends much more on debt capital
rather than equity capital.

28
CURRENT RATIO:
Current Ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.
Table: 1.3
46.17 86.27 95.16 146.22 255.24
(Source: Calculated from the annual report of AXIS Bank.)
A relatively high current ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid and has the ability to pay its
current obligations in time as and when they become due. An increase in the current ratio represent
improvement in the liquidity position of the firm while a decrease in the current ratio indicates that there has
been deterioration in the liquidity position of the firm.

29
QUICK RATIO:
Quick ratio also known as Acid test or Liquid Ratio is more rigorous test of liquidity than the
current ratio.
Table: 1.4
56.16 76.37 91.14 173.46 248.26
Usually, a high test ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid and has the ability to meet its current
or liquid liabilities in time and on the other hand a low quick ratio represent that the firm‟s liquidity position
is not good.

30
Advances to Assets:
A high ratio of Advances to Assets would mean that the chances of Non Performing Assets
formation are also high, which is not a good scenario for a bank.
Table: 2.1
1.60 1.63 1.61 1.62 1.60
“Advances to Asset” is also a good indicator of a firm‟s Capital Adequacy. A high ratio of
Advances to Assets would mean that the chances of Non Performing Assets formation are also high,
which is not a good scenario for a bank. This would mean the credibility of its assets would go down.
In case of AXIS Bank we can see that it is able to maintain a pretty steady ratio of its Advances to
Assets which means the credibility of its assets is good.

31
Government Securities to Total Investments:
The ratio of Government Securities to Total investments shows how safe are the company‟s
investments.
Table: 2.2
1.81 1.83 1.83 1.86 1.86
The ratio of Government Securities to Total investments shows how safe are the company‟s
investments. Here, in case of AXIS Bank we can see that its ratio of investments in Government
Securities to Total Investments is very high and it has remained quite steady over the years with
minimal fluctuations. The high ratio tells that AXIS Banks investment policy is conservative and their
investments are safe.

CONCLUSION
The purpose our project report at a organization was to help us attain knowledge about the
working pattern in a organization.
Applying theoretical knowledge into practice helps in gaining additional knowledge. We learnt the
skill of planning, organizing and completing the assignment within the stipulated time.
Ratio analysis of financial statement shows that bank‟s current ratio is better than the quick ratio
and fixed/worth ratio. It means bank has invested more in current assets than the fixed assets and liquid
assets. The cash flow statement shows that net increase in cash generated from operating and financing
activities is much more than the previous year but cash generated from investing activities is negative
in both years. Therefore analysis of cash flow statement shows that cash inflow is more than the cash
outflow in AXIS Bank. Thus, the ratio analysis and trend analysis and analysis of cash flow statement
show that AXIS Bank‟s financial position is good. Bank‟s profitability is increasing but not at high rate.
Bank‟s liquidity position is fair but not good because bank invests more in current assets than the liquid
assets. As we all know that AXIS Bank is on the first position among the entire private sector bank of
India in all areas but it should pay attention on its profitability and liquidity. Bank‟s position is stable.
