important Ratios

Financial Ratios ::: (Most useful) Very important read everyone

The broad categories in which Financial

Ratios are classified are:

 Liquidity Ratios

 Gearing Ratios

 Profitability Ratios

 Turnover Ratios

 Coverage Ratios

Liquidity Ratios

 Liquidity Ratios are important for the working

capital lenders, who provide loans for shorter

duration. As such Banks, which generally

provide working capital loans, want to know

the liquidity position of the unit over a short

term period say one year. These ratios can

be analysed in under noted two forms:

 Current Ratio

 Acid Test Ratio or Quick Ratio

Current Ratio

 Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current

Liabilities

 Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory)

/ Current Liabilities

Gearing Ratios

 Gearing Ratios are of two types:



 Total Debt/Equity Ratio =

Total Outside Liabilities (TOL)

Tangible Net Worth (TNW)

 Total Debt/Equity Ratio =

Long-Term Liabilities

Tangible Net Worth

Total Outside Liabilities (TOL)

The sources of funds of an enterprise can broadly be

classified into following three categories:

 Own funds or Tangible Net Worth [Total Networth (ie

Capital plus reserves) less Intangible assets]

 Short-term loans and

 Long-term loans

 Among the above three, the last two are external

sources of funding and therefore are together

classified as Total Outside Liabilities (TOL).

Profitability Ratios

 Profitability ratios measure the profit earning capacity of the unit

vis-à-vis many parameters like sales, capital employed etc. The

ratios used for ascertaining the profitability of the main activity

of the unit are :

Operating Profit Ratio

 Operating Profit Before Interest = --------------------------------------

 (Before Finance Cost) Net Sales

Operating Profit After Interest

 Operating Profit Ratio =

-----------------------------------------

(After Finance Cost) Net Sales

Turnover Ratios

Raw Material holding

Stock of raw material X 365/

Annual consumption of raw

material

Stock in process holding

Stock in process level X 365/

Cost of production

Finished goods holding

Finished goods level X 365/

Cost of production

Receivables holding level

Bills receivables level X 365/

Annual gross sales

Trade Creditors holding level

Expression

Trade Creditors level X 365/

Annual purchase

Coverage Ratios

The two types of coverage ratios are:

 Interest Coverage Ratio

 Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Interest Coverage Ratio

 Interest Coverage Ratio are computed as –

Interest Coverage Ratio = (Profit before Tax +

Depreciation + Interest) / Interest

Gross Debt Service Coverage Ratio

The Gross Debt Service Coverage Ratio

(DSCR), is computed as –

 Gross Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Profit after tax + Depreciation + Interest on TL

= ----------------------------------------------------

Annual principal instalments + Interest

on TL

CHALLENGES TO THE INDIAN BANKING SECTOR

CHALLENGES TO THE INDIAN BANKING SECTOR
➢ Piling up of bad loans in India is to the tune of Rs10 lakh crores, is bigger than the gross
domestic products of at least 137 countries.
➢ Asset quality pressures have remained elevated during the last few years due to moderate
growth in the economy and low capex demand.
➢ It is crucial for the banks to meet the Basel-III regulatory norms by March 2019. The
Government of India has been infusing capital on a regular basis into the public sector banks,
to enable them to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain the government stake in
the PSBs at a benchmark level.
➢ The increasing popularity of FinTech companies is disrupting the way of traditional
banking and creates a big challenge for traditional banks to adjust themselves quickly
to the changes not just in technology, but also in operations, culture, and other facets
of the industry.
➢ With increasing access to the internet, Indians are taking to digital channels for their
banking needs which leads to Cybercrimes like phishing, vishing and social
engineering and attacks by organized gangs.
➢ The biggest challenge is to build capacity at a rate which matches the loss of existing
talent and skills due to retirement.
➢ Technological innovation is considered to be one of the most influential developments
affecting the financial sector in the near future.

The objective of KYC/AML/CFT guidelines is to prevent banks/FIs from being used,
intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering or terrorist
financing activities.

Amendments made in the Indian Companies Act, 2013:

Amendments made in the Indian Companies Act, 2013:
The amendments to the Companies Act 1956 in 2013 Act have introduced several new concepts and have also tried to streamline many of the requirements by introducing new definitions. After getting approval of both the houses of Parliament, the long awaited Companies Bill 2013 obtained the assent of the President of India on 29 August 2013 and became Companies Act, 2013 (2013 Act). The changes in the 2013 Act have far-reaching implications that are set to significantly change the manner in which corporates operate in India.
Highlights of Companies Act 2013:
1. Immediate Changes in letterhead, bills or other official communications, as if full name, address of its registered office, Corporate Identity Number (21 digit number allotted by Government), Telephone number, fax number, email ID, website address if any.
2. One Person Company (OPC): It's a Private Company having only one Member and at least One Director. No compulsion to hold AGM. Conversion of existing private Companies with paid-up capital up to Rs 50 Lacs and turnover up to Rs 2 Crores into OPC is permitted.
3. Woman Director: Every Listed Company /Public Company with paid up capital of Rs 100 Crores or more / Public Company with turnover of Rs 300 Crores or more shall have at least one Woman Director.
4. Resident Director: Every Company must have a director who stayed in India for a total period of 182 days or more in previous calendar year.

7. Articles of Association- In the next General Meeting, it is desirable to adopt Table F as standard set of Articles of Association of the Company with relevant changes to suite the requirements of the company. Further, every copy of Memorandum and Articles issued to members should contain a copy of all resolutions / agreements that are required to be filed with the Registrar.
8. Disqualification of director- All existing directors must have Directors Identification Number (DIN) allotted by central government. Directors who already have DIN need not take any action.

9. Financial year- Under the new Act, all companies have to follow a uniform Financial Year i.e. from 1st April to 31st March. Those companies which follow a different financial year have to align their accounting year to 1st April to 31st March within 2 years. It is desirable to do the same as early as possible since most of the compliances are on financial year basis under the new Companies Act.
10. Appointment of Statutory Auditors- Every Listed Company can appoint an individual auditor for 5 years and a firm of auditors for 10 years. This period of 5 / 10 years commences from the date of their appointment.

Financial Inclusion
The committee is of the view that “while financial inclusion can be substantially enhanced
by improving the supply side or the delivery systems, it is also important to note that many
regions, segments of the population and sub-sectors of the economy have a limited or
weak demand for financial services.
In order to improve their level of inclusion, demand side efforts need to be taken including
improving human and physical resource endowments, enhancing productivity, mitigating
risk and strengthening market linkages. However, the primary focus is on improving the
delivery systems, both conventional and innovative.
The essence of Financial Inclusion is to ensure that a range of appropriate financial
services is available to every individual of the country. This should include:
1. Regular financial Intermediation such as Banking which includes basic no frills accounts
for sending and receiving money.
2. Saving Products which are suitable to the pattern of cash flow of the poor household.
3. Availability of the Money transfer facilities
4. Availability of small loans and overdrafts for productive , personal and other uses.

Treasury Management – Concepts

Treasury Management – Concepts

Banks not only lend money to customers but also invest in securities such as Bonds and Debentures of Government as well as Corporates. These instruments are easily tradable in the capital and money market. The tradability of securities makes investments an attractive option for banks for deployment of their funds. Further, banks buy securities not only to trade but also to hold them till maturity to take advantage of the attractive returns with relatively lower risk. Banks are allowed to invest in shares of companies. However, the volumes are low due to associated high risk besides regulatory restrictions. The investment portfolio of the banks broadly divided into three groups viz.,
Trading Book - Securities purchased with the intention of selling them within 90 days are held in the trading book. Trading opportunities arise in the market on account of fluctuation in interest rates and arbitrage opportunities.
Available for Sale (AFS) - Securities which are bought with the intention of selling them but not necessarily within 90 days is considered to be AFS securities. They are also part of the trading portfolio of the bank but only the time frame is different. Both the trading and AFS securities have to be "Marked to Market" every quarter while finalization of quarterly results.
Held to Maturity (HTM) - These securities are meant to be held till their date of maturity and the purpose investing in them is to earn reasonable steady income. These securities are carried in the books at cost or purchase price till maturity. Hence, HTM securities need not be "Marked to Market" as the bank is certain of receiving the maturity value on the specified date. Banks are not allowed to shift securities freely from trading and AFS to the HTM book as this may lead to overstating of profit figures. However, banks can opt for shifting only once in a year to adjust their overall portfolio. Banks are permitted to exceed the limit of 25% of total investments under HTM category provided (a) the excess comprises of only of SLR securities and (b) the total SLR securities held in the HTM category is not more than 23% by March 2014.
Call Money Markets:
Call and notice money market refers to the market for short term funds ranging from overnight funds to funds for a maximum tenor of 14 days. Under Call money market, funds are transacted on overnight basis where as in case of notice money market; funds are transacted for the period of 2 days to 14 days.
Coupon Rate:
It is a rate at which interest is paid, and is usually represented as a percentage of the par value of a bond. It refers to the periodic interest payments that are made by the borrower (who is also the issuer of the bond) to the lender (the subscriber of the bond) and the coupons are
stated upfront either directly specifying the number (e.g.8%) or indirectly tying with a benchmark rate (e.g. MIBOR+0.5%).
Zero Coupon Bond / Deep Discount Bond:
The bond is issued at a discount to its face value, at which it will be redeemed. When such a bond is issued for a very long tenor, the issue price is at a steep discount to the redemption value. The effective interest earned by the buyer is the difference between the face value and the discounted price at which the bond is bought. The essential feature of this type of bonds is the absence of intermittent cash flows.
Commercial Paper (CP):
It is a short-term instrument to enable non-banking companies to borrow short-term funds through liquid money market instruments. CPs is therefore part of the working capital limits as set by the maximum permissible bank finance (MPBF). CP issues are regulated by RBI Guidelines issued from time to time stipulating term, eligibility, limits and amount and method of issuance. CP can be issued for maturities between a minimum of 7 days and a maximum up to one year from the date of issue. The maturity date of the CP should not go beyond the date up to which the credit rating of the issuer is valid. CP can be issued in denominations of Rs. 5 lakh and multiples thereof. It is mandatory that CPs should be rated by credit rating agencies. In a bid to make CPs attractive, the RBI has allowed issuers to buyback these instruments through the secondary market before maturity. It attracts stamp duty.
Certificates of Deposits (CDs):
It is a negotiable money market instrument and issued in dematerialized form or as a Usance Promissory Note, for funds, deposited at a bank or other eligible financial institutions to raise short-term resources within the umbrella limit fixed by RBI. CDs may be issued at a discount on face value. CDs differ from term deposit as they involve the creation of paper, and hence have the facility for transfer and multiple ownerships before maturity. Banks use the CDs for borrowing during a credit pickup, to the extent of shortage in incremental deposits.
Minimum amount of a CD should be one lakh and in multiples thereof. The maturity period of CDs should be not less than 7 days and not more than one year. However FIs are allowed to issue CDs not exceeding 3 years from the date of issue. Banks have to maintain the appropriate reserve requirements (CRR/SLR) on the issue price of the CDs. It attracts stamp duty. Banks/FIs cannot grant loans against CDs.
Securitization is an effective tool to reduce the mismatches in the maturities of assets and liabilities. It is a financing technique that involves pooling and re-packing of illiquid financial assets in to marketable securities. There are six players viz., Borrowers, Lending Banker (who becomes an originator for the Securitization transaction), Special Purpose Vehicle

(SPV), Credit Rating Agency, Investors and Service Providers. The process of securitization involves identification of financial assets, rating of these assets by the rating agency, creation of a SPV for handling the securitization transaction, assignment of future receivables in favour of the SPV, issuance of marketable securities based on these underlying financial assets and selling the same to the investors. The service providers recover the amount periodically and remit to the SPV and who in turn pass the benefit to the investors.
Asset and Liability Management:
RBI Guidelines: Of late, it is observed that PSBs have been accepting Bulk Deposits/Certificate of Deposits route to increase balance sheet size at very high interest rates, adversely affecting the profitability besides exposing the banks to ALM Risk. RBI directed banks not to accept Bulk Deposits beyond 10% of the total deposits and the total of Bulk Deposits & Certificates of Deposits should not exceed 15% of total deposits of the bank at any given point of time. An appropriate time-bound strategy for reduction of such existing bulk deposits should be put in place.
Adjusted Net Bank Credit (ANBC):
It denotes Net Bank Credit plus investments made by banks in non-SLR bonds held in HTM category. However, investments made by banks in the Recapitalization Bonds and Inter-bank exposures will not be taken into account for the purpose of priority sector lending targets/sub-targets.
Subordinate Debt:
It is a debt owed to an unsecured creditor that in the event of liquidation can only be paid after the claims of secured creditors have been met. Normally, subordinate debt ranks below other secured loans with regard to claims on assets or earnings.

Basel-I, Basel-II and Basel-III:

Basel-I, Basel-II and Basel-III:
These were a set of international banking regulations put forth by the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision,(BCBS) which set out the minimum capital requirements of financial institutions with the goal of minimizing credit risk. Banks that operate internationally are required to maintain a minimum amount (8%) of capital based on a percent of risk-weighted assets. The first accord on capital standards was Basel I. It was issued in 1988 and focused mainly on credit risk by creating a bank asset classification system. One size fits all-Risk weight same for all types of assets:
The banks were to maintain capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) equal to at least 8% of its risk-weighted assets. For example, if a bank has risk-weighted assets of $100 million, it is required to maintain capital of at least $8 million.
Initially, there was only credit risk and later on market risk was included.
Basel II: Capital standard to further strengthen soundness and stability of international banking system. More emphasis was on operational risk. The definition of regulatory capital remains same but the measurement of risk has been modified for credit risk. Operational risk is given due importance.
Three Pillars under Basel-II:-
i) Minimum Capital Requirement
Capital requirement (called capital charge) is calculated for credit, market and operational risk.
a) Credit Risk – standardized approach based on type of borrower and credit rating.
b) Operational Risk – Basic indicator approach – 15% of average positive annual gross income for 3 years.
c) Market risk – Standard Duration Method.
To migrate to;
i) Credit risk – Internal Risk Based – 31.03.2014
ii) Operational Risk – Standardized approach - 30.09.2010
Advanced measurement - 31.03.2014
iii) Market risk – Internal Model approach – 31.03.2011.
ii) Supervisory Review - To ensure that banks have adequate capital to support all the risk in their business and encourage them to develop and use better risk management techniques in monitoring and managing their risk. The banks to develop internal risk capital assessment and set capital targets commensurate with bank‘s risk profile/ control environment.
iii) Market Discipline: To complement minimum capital requirement and supervisory review through disclosure and transparency – 8% international requirement and 9% as per RBI.

Basel-III is a global regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and liquidity risk agreed upon by the members of the BCBS in 2010-11. Basel III was developed in response to the deficiencies in financial regulation revealed by the late-2000s financial crisis. Basel III strengthens bank capital requirements and introduces new regulatory requirements on bank liquidity and bank leverage. For instance, the change in the calculation of loan risk in Basel II which some consider a causal factor in the credit bubble prior to the 2007-08 collapse:
In Basel II one of the principal factors of financial risk management was outsourced to companies that were not subject to supervision: credit rating agencies. Ratings of creditworthiness and of bonds, and various other financial instruments were conducted without supervision by official agencies, leading to AAA ratings on mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps and other instruments that proved in practice to be extremely bad credit risks.
Moreover, bankruptcy in the financial sector in the West due to
i) loose lending standards, ii) poor underwriting of mortgages, iii) unbridled speculation, iv) gross asset liability mismatches and v) inadequate liquidity led to the collapse of even institutions considered ‗too big to fail‘.
The OECD estimates that the implementation of Basel III will decrease annual GDP growth by 0.05 to 0.15 percentage point.
Outside the banking industry itself, criticism was muted. Bank directors would be required to know market liquidity conditions for major asset holdings, to strengthen accountability for any major losses.
Basel III will require banks to hold 4.5% of common equity (up from 2% in Basel II) and 6% of Tier I capital (up from 4% in Basel II) of risk-weighted assets (RWA). Basel III also introduces additional capital buffers, (i) a mandatory capital conservation buffer of 2.5% and (ii) a discretionary countercyclical buffer, which allows national regulators to require up to another 2.5% of capital during periods of high credit growth. In addition, Basel III introduces a minimum 3% leverage ratio and two required liquidity ratios-Liquidity Coverage Ratio requires a bank to hold sufficient high-quality liquid assets to cover its total net cash outflows over 30 days; the Net Stable Funding Ratio requires the available amount of stable funding to exceed the required amount of stable funding over a one-year period of extended stress.
With the single most agenda of never to repeat a crisis of 2008, the BCBS put forward norms aimed at strengthening the balance sheet of banks as under:
 Enhancing the quantum of common equity
 Improving the quality of capital base
 Creation of capital buffers to absorb shocks-2.5% during high growth

 Improving liquidity of assets-LCR and NSFR
 Optimising leverage through leverage ratio
 Creating more space for regulatory supervision under Pillar-II of Basel-II
 Bringing further transparency and market discipline under Pillar-III of Basel-II
• Minimum 4.5% in common equity (as against the current 3.6%) by March 31, 2015.
• create a capital conservation buffer (consisting of common equity) of 2.5% by March 31, 2018.
• maintain countercyclical buffer of 2.5% of RWA
• minimum overall capital adequacy of 11.5% (against the current 9%) by March 31, 2018
• a leverage ratio of 4.5%.
• Banks allowed to add interim profits (subject to conditions) for computation of core capital adequacy
Impact of Basel-III on banks in India
1. Capital Adequacy: The transition to Basel-III would be easier for Indian banks due to our strict regulatory standards.
According to Crisil, the average equity capital ratio and overall capital adequacy ratio of Indian banks are between 9% to 14%, well above the regulatory norm.
2. Cost of lending: Stricter capital requirements lead to lower Return on Equity. Moreover, as capital costs increase, loans tend to be more expensive. In order to offset this, banks would have to reduce deposit rates or augment non-interest income. Still, Basel-III norms give out the message that Indian banks will have to explore ways to conserve capital.
3. Leverage: RBI has set the leverage ratio at 4.5%, higher than the Basel-III norm of 3%.This is to regulate banks having higher trading book and off balance sheet derivative positions. However, for Indian banks, the derivative transactions are not very large and the pressure on maintaining the required leverage ratio would be lower.
4. Liquidity norms: The Basel-IIII guidelines require banks to hold enough unencumbered liquid assets to cover expected net outflows during a 30 day stress period. Since we already maintain 21.50% of NDTL under SLR and another 4.00% under CRR, the burden from LCR stipulation will depend on how much of CRR and SLR can be set off against SLR. Here also Indian banks are better placed.

RATIOS USED FOR CREDIT ASSESSMENT

RATIOS USED FOR CREDIT ASSESSMENT
A. LIQUIDITY RATIO
1. Current Ratio
Formula: Current Assets/Current Liabilities
Current asset and current liabilities are those receivable or payable respectively within a
period of 12 months or one operating cycle.
It is a measure of liquidity of the company. A company with a current ratio less than one
does not have the capital on hand to meet its short-term obligations if they were all due
at once, while a current ratio greater than one indicates that the company should be
able to remain solvent in the short-term.
The ratio in standalone basis will not provide a meaningful interpretation. An in-depth
analysis of the quality of the current assets and liabilities will provide a better picture of
the company’s liquidity position.
For example, a company may have a very high current ratio but their accounts
receivable is low quality. Perhaps they have not been able to collect from their
customers quickly which may be hidden in the current ratio. Further If inventory is
unable to be sold, the current ratio may still look acceptable, but the company may be
headed for default.
A current ratio less than one would not be concerning if the company has a much higher
receivables turnover than payables turnover. For example, retail companies collect very
quickly from consumers but have a long time to pay their suppliers.
2. Liquid ratio / Acid Test ratio / Quick ratio
Formula: (Current Assets – Inventory – Prepaid expenses) / (Current Liabilities –
Bank borrowings)
The ratio indicates the backing available to liquid liabilities in the form of liquid assets.
Liquid assets are those current assets which can be converted to cash without reduction
in value and almost immediately.
B. TURNOVER RATIO
1. Fixed Assets turnover ratio
Formula: Net Sales/Fixed Assets (WDV)
The ratio indicates the capability of organization to achieve sales viz-a-viz the
investment in fixed assets. Higher the ratio, better the efficiency of the organization.

2. Current Assets turnover ratio
Formula: Net Sales/Current Assets
The ratio indicates the capability of organization to achieve sales viz-a-viz the
investment in current assets. Higher the ratio, better the efficiency of the organization.
3. Working capital turnover ratio
Formula: Net Sales/Working capital
The ratio indicates the capability of organization to achieve sales viz-a-viz the
investment in working capital. Higher the ratio, better the efficiency of the organization.
4. Inventory/Stock turnover ratio
Formula: Cost of goods sold/Average inventory
Net sales/Average Inventory
Cost of goods sold/Cost inventory
Net sales/Closing inventory
In normal condition, a higher ratio is desirable. However low level of inventory may also
lead to the company not being able to adhere to delivery schedules. Though low level of
inventory maintenance will reduce the carrying cost and thereby higher profits,
sometimes higher maintenance of inventory may also lead to increase in volume of
sales thereby leading to higher profits.
5. Debtors Turnover ratio
Formula: Net Credit sales/Closing sundry debtors
The average collection period computed as above should be compared with the normal
credit period allowed to customers. If the average collection period is more than the
normal credit period, it may indicate over investment in debtors, over extension of credit
period, liberalization of credit terms and ineffective collection procedure among others.
6. Capital turnover ratio
Formula: Sales/Capital Employed
The ratio indicates the efficiency of the organization in respect of capital utilization.
Higher ratio is desirable.

C. SOLVENCY RATIO
1. Debt Equity ratio
Formula: External/Shareholders funds’
Long term liabilities/Shareholder Funds
If the ratio is higher, it indicates higher external borrowings, and it increases the risk of
investment in such an organization. The best possible to way to increase earnings to
shareholders is to borrow funds from outside because
(i) Cost of equity is high
(ii) Return on investment paid to creditors is a tax-deductible expenditure
2. Proprietary ratio
Formula: Total Assets/ Owners funds
Fixed Assets/Owners funds
Current Assets/Owners funds
The ratio indicates the extent to which the owner’s funds are sunk in different kind of
assets. If owners’ funds exceed fixed asset, it indicates owner’s funds are used to
finance current assets and if vice-versa, it indicates that fixed assets are financed by
long term or short term creditors.
3. Fixed assets/Capital Employed ratio
Formula: (Fixed assets/Capital Employed) X 100
A high ratio indicates a major portion of long term funds is being used for fixed assets
rather than working capital. A high ratio coupled with declining current ratio indicates
urgent need for introduction of long term funds for financing working capital.
4. Interest coverage ratio.
Formula: Profit before Interest and taxes / Interest charges
The ratio indicates protection available to the lenders of long term capital in the form of
funds available to pay interest charges. Though a high ratio is desirable, a very high
ratio indicates under-utilization of borrowing capacity of the organization.

5. Debt service coverage ratio.
The ratio is calculated in two ways, Gross DSCR and Net DSCR
Formula:
Gross DSCR = (Cash accruals + Term loan interest)/ (Term loan installment +
Term loan interest
Net DSCR = Cash accruals / Term loan installment
The ratio indicates the level of serviceability of debt viz-a-viz the cash accruals
generated by the company. The higher the ratio, better the company’s financial position
to service interest and installment.
D. PROFITABILITY RATIO
1. Gross profit ratio
Formula: (Gross profit/Net sales) X 100
By comparing Gross Profit percentage to Net Sales we can arrive at the Gross Profit
Ratio which indicates the manufacturing efficiency as well as the pricing policy of the
concern.
Alternatively, since Gross Profit is equal to Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold, it can also
be interpreted as below:
Alternate formula = [ (Sales – Cost of goods sold)/ Net Sales] x 100
A higher Gross Profit Ratio indicates efficiency in production of the unit.
2. Net Profit ratio
Formula: (Net profit/Net sales) X 100
The ratio indicates that portion of the sales which is available to the owners after the
consideration of all types of expenses and costs, either operating or non-operating,
normal or abnormal. A high ratio is considered desirable.
3. Operating ratio
Formula: {(Manufacturing cost of goods sold + operating expenses) / Net sales}
X100
A high ratio indicates that only a small margin of sales is available to meet expenses in
the form of interest, dividend and other-operating expenses.

E. OVERALL PROFITABILITY RATIO
1. Return on assets (ROA)
Formula: (Net profit/Assets) X 100
It measures the profitability of investments and a higher ratio is desirable. The ratio
does not indicate the profitability of various sources of funds, which finance the total
assets.
2. Return on capital employed (ROCE)
Formula: (Net profit + Interest on long term sources) / Capital employed
The ratio indicates the profitability of capital employed. A higher ratio indicates a better
and profitable use of long term funds of owners and creditors.
3. Return on shareholders’ funds
Formula: (Net profit after taxes + total shareholders’ funds) X 100
The ratio indicates whether the firm has earned sufficient returns for its shareholders or
not. A higher ratio is desirable.
F. MISCELLANEOUS RATIO
1.Capital gearing ratio.
Formula: Fixed Income Bearing securities / Equity capital
A high ration indicates that in the capital structure, fixed income bearing securities are
more in comparison to the equity capital and company will be highly geared which is
considered a highly unstable situation. A high gearing ratio is advantageous from the
equity shareholders’ point of view.
2. Earnings per share (EPS)
Formula: (Net Profit after taxes – Preference dividend) / Number of equity shares
outstanding
The ratio is calculated based on current profit and not based on retained profit. The ratio
only indicates the profits available to shareholders on per share basis and not the
quantum of earnings paid to owners by way of dividend or how much of earnings is
retained in the business.

3. Price earnings ratio (P/E ratio)
Formula: Market price per share / Earning per share
The ratio measures the expectation of the investors and an ideal investor will compare
between the current price and future EPS also.
4. Dividend payment ratio (D/P ratio)
Formula: (Dividend per share / Earning per share) X 100
The ratio indicates the policy of the management to pay cash dividend.
1 - D/P ratio indicates the retained profits in the business available for future expansion.

CAPACITY BUILDING

CAPACITY BUILDING
The Reserve Bank had constituted a ‘Committee on Capacity Building’ (July 2014)
under the Chairmanship of former Executive Director, Shri G Gopalakrishna, with the
objective of implementing non-legislative recommendations of the Financial Sector
Legislative Reforms Commission (FSLRC), relating to capacity building in banks and
non-banks, streamlining training intervention and suggesting changes thereto in view of
ever increasing challenges in banking and non-banking sector.
One of the recommendation of the committee is pertaining to certification of staff.
Banks should identify specialised areas for certification of the staff manning key
responsibilities. To begin with, the banks should make acquiring of a certificate course
mandatory for the following areas:
• Treasury operations
• Risk management
• Accounting
• Credit management

PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION (PCA) RBI

3. Return on Assets (ROA)
➢ The PCA framework is applicable only to commercial banks and not extended to
co-operative banks and Non-banking financial companies
➢ Eleven of India’s 21 listed government-owned banks are now under PCA
framework due to large bad loans, weak capital levels and low return of assets.
➢ PCA will contribute to the overall improvement in risk management, asset quality,
profitability, efficiency etc. of the banks.

➢ PCA also focus on profit retention, capital augmentation, provision coverage,
diversification of credit portfolio, rationalization of expansion plan and cost control
➢ Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra and Oriental Bank of Commerce are now out
of the PCA.

BCSBI

Banking Codes and Standards Board of India (BCSBI)::

In November 2003, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) constituted the Committee on Procedures and Performance Audit of Public Services under the Chairmanship of Shri S.S.Tarapore (former Deputy Governor) to address the issues relating to availability of adequate banking services to the common person. The mandate to the Committee included identification of factors that inhibited the attainment of best customer services and suggesting steps to improve the quality of banking services to individual customers. The Committee felt that in an effort to continuously upgrade the package of services that banks offered to their customers, there was a need for benchmarking of such services. After an in-depth study at the grass-roots level, the Committee concluded that there was an institutional gap for measuring the performance of banks against a bench mark reflecting the best practices (Code and Standards). Therefore, the Committee recommended setting up of the Banking Codes and Standards Board of I ndia (BCSBI). BCSBI was set up to ensure that the common person as a consumer of financial services from the banking Industry is in no way at a disadvantageous position and really gets what he/she has been promised.


The Scheme of Banking Ombudsman, which has been functioning for quite some time, does not look into systemic issues with a view to enforcing a prescribed quality of service. Ideally, such a function should be performed by a Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) but in view of the existing framework of the banking sector in India, it was felt that an independent, autonomous Board will be best suited for the function. Therefore, Dr. Y.V. Reddy, Governor, Reserve Bank of India, in his Monetary Policy Statement (April 2005) announced setting up of the Banking Codes and Standards Board of India in order to ensure that a comprehensive code of conduct for fair treatment of customers was evolved and adhered to.

The Banking Codes and Standards Board of India was registered as a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 in February 2006. It functions as an independent and autonomous body. Membership of BCSBI is voluntary and open to scheduled banks. Initially the membership of BCSBI was open to scheduled commercial banks and has now been extended to include Regional Rural Banks and select Urban Co-operative Banks.

The general superintendence, direction and control of the affairs and funds of the Society is vested in the Governing Council (constituted by RBI) consisting of members drawn from different disciplines such as banking, economics, service etc. The first Governing Council relinquished office in December 2011 after which a new Governing Council was constituted.
