ABSTRACT

In the growth and progress of any country, its small scale sector is of equal importance as of other large scale sectors because a country cannot progress in its true sense unless its small scale sectors progress. Be it a developed country like Japan and USA or a developing country like Thailand and Pakistan, they form the backbone of the economy. A dynamic and vibrant SME sector plays a key role in successful economic growth of the countries. The developmental role of SMEs has been highly recognized. They provide most of the employment opportunities for the general public of the country and as a result, they prosper in these conditions. SMEs allow a homogeneous geographic development throughout the length and breadth of a country because of the fact that the development is done at a micro level due to the initiative taken by the general public.The Government of India, realizing the potential of SMEs has very rightly turned its attention toward the uplift of this sector. The formation of SMEDA (Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority) and SME Bank are a step in right direction. Furthermore, the State Bank of India has instructed all the commercial banks to establish a SME counter in their premises. This will have a positive effect on the sector as whole

OVERVIEW

State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest nationalized commercial bank in Indiain terms of assets, number of branches, deposits, profits and workforce. Withthe liberalization of the Indian banking industry in the mid-1990s, SBI facedstiff competition from the private sector and foreign banks which resulted insignificant loss of its market share. The case describes the efforts of SBI toregain its lost market share by undergoing a major restructuring exercisewhich involved redesigning its branch network, providing alternate bankingchannels, emphasis on lean structure and technology up gradation. The casealso discusses how SBI is building its image as a customer friendly bank bylaunching innovative products & services and promoting its brand.

History

The roots of the State Bank of India rest in the first decade of 19th century, when the Bank of

Calcutta, later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of Bengal

and two other Presidency banks, namely, the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and

the

Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint

stock companies, and were the result of the royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive

right to issue paper currency in 1861 with the Paper Currency Act, a right they retained until the

10

formation of the Reserve Bank of India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921,

and the reorganized banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. Pursuant to the

provisions of the State Bank of India Act (1955), the Reserve Bank of India, which is India's central

bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India. On 30 April 1955 the Imperial

Bank of India became the State Bank of India. The Govt. of India recently acquired the Reserve

Bank of India's stake in SBI so as to remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's

banking regulatory authority. In 1959 the Government passed the State Bank of India(Subsidiary

Banks) Act, enabling the State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as its

subsidiaries. On Sept 13, 2008, State Bank of Saurashtra, one of its Associate Banks, merged with State Bank

of India.

The evolution of State Bank of India can be traced back to the first decade of the 19th century. It

began with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta, on 2 June 1806. The bank was

redesigned as the Bank of Bengal, three years later, on 2 January 1809. It was the first ever joint-

stock bank of the British India, established under the sponsorship of the Government of Bengal.

Subsequently, the Bank of Bombay (established on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras

(established on 1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks dominated the modern

banking scenario in India, until when they were amalgamated to form the Imperial Bank of India, on

27 January 1921.

An important turning point in the history of State Bank of India is the launch of the first Five Year

Plan of independent India, in 1951. The Plan aimed at serving the Indian economy in general and the

rural sector of the country, in particular. In order to serve the economy as a whole and rural sector in

particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the formation of a state-

partnered and state-sponsored bank.

The All India Rural Credit Survey Committee proposed the take over of the Imperial Bank of India,

and integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. Subsequently, an Act was

passed in the Parliament of India in May 1955. As a result, the State Bank of India (SBI) was

established on 1 July 1955. This resulted in making the State Bank of India more powerful, because

as much as a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking system were controlled directly by the

State. Later on, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959. The Act enabled

the State Bank of India to make the eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries.

INTERNATIONL PRESENCE

State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest Indian .The bank traces its ancestry back through the to

imperial bank of India the founding in 1806 of the Bank of Calcutta, making it the oldest

commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. The Government of India nationalised the Imperial

Bank of India in 1955, with the Reserve Bank of India taking a 60% stake, and renamed it the State

Bank of India. In

2008, the Government took over the stake held by the Reserve Bank of India. SBI provides a range

of banking products through its vast network in India and overseas, including products aimed at

NRIs. The State Bank Group, with over 16000 branches, has the largest branch network in India.

With asset base of $250 billion and $195 billion in deposits, it is a regional banking behemoth.

It has market share among Indian commercial banks of about 20% in deposits and advance

SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMEs) IN INDIA

INTRODUCTION

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are one of the principal driving forces in economic

development. They stimulate private ownership and entrepreneurial skills, they are flexible and can

adapt quickly to changing market demand and supply situations, they generate employment, help

diversify economic activity and make a significant contribution to exports and trade. Small and

13

medium enterprises (SMEs) have played an important role in boosting up economies of the

developing countries and particularly in recent times the success of the South East Asian countries is

indebted to this very sector. 8 SMEs account for almost 90 percent of privately-owned businesses

and bulk of employment all over the globe. Experience has shown that neglect of this sector is bound

to keep that country below its potential growth level. The SME sector covers all types of businesses,

but it is the common profile of service and manufacturing business concerns. Reason being the large-

scale manufacturing sector is unable to cater to all demands of goods and services and depends

largely on subcontracting arrangements with smaller business units. If viewed in global scenario,

SMEs are found to generate 80 per cent of total industrial employment, contributing 30 per cent to

GDP and adding to export earnings to the extent of 1/4th of total industrial sector contribution. The

globalization and trade liberalization, which is a favored move on the part of the developed countries

has increased the competition for SME sector in all the developing countries, particularly in Asian

countries, and is bound to further widen the gap between rich and poor nations. Thus it is imperative

for economic survival of Asian countries that they review their national economic policies.

Definition of micro, small and medium enterprises

micro enterprise is an enterprise where investment in plant and machinery does not exceed

Rs. 25 lakh.

small enterprise is an enterprise where investment in plant and machinery is more than Rs.

25 lakh but does not exceed Rs. 5 crore

medium enterprise is an enterprise where investment in plant and machinery is more than

Rs. 5 crore but does not exceed Rs. 25 crore

14

CHARACTERSTIC OF SME

1. Growth recorded by SSI in India 2% more than any other sector

2. The sector accounts for 9% of the country GDP.

3. The sector employs more then 20 million people( employee contribution by SME

in Madhya Pradesh is 4.5%)

4 .It has been estimated that a lakh rupees of investment in fixed assets in smaller

sector generates employment for four persons.

5. Among the large PSBs, state bank of India SMEs exposure grew by 28% in 2009.

6. Public sector bank’s overall credit to SME grew by 28% in 2008-2009 accounted to

Rs.2, 10,000 crores.

7 .Reserve bank of India advices all commercial banks to achieve 20% annual growth

in SME lending till 2010

8. SME on traditional products constitute a massive of 95% of the SSI exports.

Advantage of sme

More job per unit capital.

Integrated into domestic corporation.

Increased the employment

Flexibility

Rapid growth of small scale industries in long run.

INTRODUCTION TO INTEREST RATE

INTEREST RATE

Interest can be said to be the price paid by the borrower for the use of funds saved by the lender and the compensation to the lender for his deferring expenditures. This compensation comprises two elements, namely a payment equal to the loss of purchasing power of the principal during the term of the loan and a balance that represents the real interest accruing to the lender. However this simplicity does not extend into the area of rate determination since rates vary not only because of inflation, as implied above, but also because of a number of other influences, including:

- The amount, purpose and period of the transaction;

17

- The credit-worthiness of the borrower;

- The collateral offered and/or other guarantees/guarantors available;

- The competition for the transaction;

- Government policy.

As a consequence, there will be numerous rates applying to the large number of transactions that are in effect at any one time in any one country. While efforts have been made in the rate selection to ensure as much international comparability as possible, the fact remains that the institutional features of each member’s financial markets are distinct and often markedly different from those of other members. However, the intent is to present for each country a range of rates, from ‘overnight’ through ‘short-term’ to ‘long-term’. In general, ‘overnight’ and ‘short term’ rates relate to money market instruments, while ‘long term’ rates are secondary market yields of long term (usually 10 year) bonds

How the rate is determined?

The simplest theory is the loan able funds one, that it is the rate that equilibrates the supply of loan able funds in an economy with the demand for such funds. Then there is the classical theory, which defines the interest rate as the point of intersection of the savings and investment curves. Investment represents the demand for investable resources and saving represents the supply, whilst the rate of interest is the “price” at which the two are equated

There is just more than one interest rate in an economy?

No. The rate at which the government (sovereign) borrows—or the rate that equilibrates government’s demand for funds with the supply—is called the risk-free rate of interest (the logic being, there is no risk in lending to government, as it can always print money).

All other interest rates will be at a premium over the risk-free rate for the period in question, the amount of premium determined by the credit-risk of the borrower. Someone with a good record of returning loans will be able to borrow at a cheaper rate compared to someone with a credit history as a defaulter.

How do central banks influence interest rates?

The main function of central banks is to preserve the value of money i.e. to keep inflation in check. They do so in a number of ways — by targeting a particular rate of inflation or by targeting a certain level of money supply in the economy. Typically, a central bank assesses the amount of funds required to oil the economy’s wheels, commensurate with the desirable level of economic activity. It raises rates whenever it feels the economy is over-heating and lowers these when it wishes to spur investment and growth.

18

How does RBI influence the rates?

In a number of ways. Directly, through the reverse repo : repo rates (at which it sucks out and pumps in liquidity into the system). And indirectly through the cash reserve ratio (CRR), which is the ratio of their demand and time deposits that banks must keep with the RBI, by open market operations wherein it buys and sells government securities, the liquidity adjustment facility, etc. The bank rate, the traditional route, is largely unused.

Why is the interest rate important?

The rates are an important determinant of the level of investment in an economy. Broadly, if rates increase across the board, then, other things remaining the same, investment will decrease (as it will no longer be as profitable as before to invest) and so will the growth rate. If interest rates fall, investment will pick up and so will growth.

So should economies like India keep interest rates low?

No, while high rates may dampen ‘animal spirits,’ keeping interest rates artificially low can have far worse consequences over the long-term. This is because any investment decision is a tradeoff between the cost of capital (whether borrowed or own funds) and the rate of expected return from the investment.

So, if interest rates are kept artificially low, many investment decisions that are otherwise unviable may be taken. The result could well be the creation of excess capacity—companies producing more cars, scooters, fridges, TVs and so on, relative to demand— bringing in its wake the inevitable painful adjustment later, when companies downsize and lay off workers.

What is real interest rate? How is it different from the nominal one?

The real interest rate is the nominal one minus the expected rate of inflation. People often err in their calculation by using the actual rather than expected rate of inflation. Of course, to the extent there is seldom any unanimity on the expected rate of inflation, different real rates can safely be bandied about!

Are interest rates in India market-determined?

Most are, now. Those which aren’t include the rate of interest on savings bank deposits and small savings (provident funds, national savings certificates, RBI bonds, etc)....

SOME OTHER TERMINOLOGY

Interest Coverage RatioA ratio used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on outstanding debt. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of one period by the company's interest expenses of the same period:

19

 

The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense. When a company's interest coverage ratio is 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet interest expenses may be questionable. An interest coverage ratio below 1 indicates the company is not generating sufficient revenues to satisfy interest expenses. under 1.5.. The history and consistency of earnings is tremendously important. The more consistent a company’s earnings, the lower the interest coverage ratio can

Interest Rate Swap An agreement between two parties (known as counterparties) where one stream of future interest payments is exchanged for another based on a specified principal amount. Interest rate swaps often exchange a fixed payment for a floating payment that is linked to an interest rate (most often the LIBOR). A company will typically use interest rate swaps to limit or manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, or to obtain a marginally lower interest rate than it would have been able to get without the swap.

Interest Rate RiskInterest rate risk affects the value of bonds more directly than stocks, and it is a major risk to all bondholders. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall and vice versa. The rationale is that as interest rates increase, the opportunity cost of holding a bond decreases since investors are able to realize greater yields by switching to other investments that reflect the higher interest rate. For example, a 5% bond is worth more if interest rates decrease since the bondholder receives a fixed rate of return relative to the market, which is offering a lower rate of return as a result of the decrease in rates. 

INEREST DERIVATIVE

a derivative which has an underlie activity to pay or receive a given amount of money at a given interest rate. Interest rate derivative are most popular derivative and include interest rate swap

INTEREST RATE FUTUREan interest rate future is a financial derivative (a futures contract) with an interest-bearing instrument

as the underlying asset.

Examples include Treasury-bill futures, Treasury-bond futures and Eurodollars futures.

The global market for exchange-traded interest rate futures is notionally valued by the Bank for International Settlement at $5,794,200 million in 2005.

INTEREST RATE OPTIONSAn investment tool whose payoff depends on the future level of interest rates. Interest rate options are both exchange traded and over-the-counter instruments.

20

ZERO INTEREST POLICY

The (ZIRP) is a concept in macroeconomics where economies exhibit slow growth with a very low interest rate, such as contemporary Japan and since December 16, 2008, the United States.

INTEREST RATE = BASE RATE+ BORROWER SPECIFIC CHARGE

Where

BORROWER SPECIFIC CHARGE=

PRODUCT SPECIFIC OPERATING COST

CREDIT RISK PREMIUM, AND TENOR PREMIUM

BASE RATE

Unlike the BPLR that was set somewhat arbitrarily by banks, the base rate will follow an explicit formula that factors in a bank's cost of deposits, operating costs (expenses of running its branches, for instance), the cost of statutory drafts on bank funds imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (the Cash Reserve Ratio and Statutory Liquidity Ratio) and the profit margin.

21

BENIFITS OF BASE RATE

The base rate will help borrowers to compare interest rates offered by various banks and make the process of how banks arrive at interest rates for loans more transparent. In the existing system, banks are free to fix their PLRs. Most of the variable rate loans, like home loan and some of the term loans are pegged against PLR. This means, if the PLR is not changed, the loan rates remain the same

Banks have taken advantage of existing PLR system at the cost of their borrowers. When interest rates increase, banks hike their PLRs immediately, leading to rise in the home loan rates. But, when interest rates fall, they don't reduce PLRs. Because of this, the existing customers are not benefited by the lowering of the interest rates. However, banks pass on the benefit to new customers by increasing the discount against PLRs.

Under the new system, home loans and other variable loans will be pegged against a base rate. As the new base rate is fixed on the basis of cost of funds, any change in the interest rate will reflect in the base rate. And therefore, it will be automatically passed on to the existing customers also. At the same time, RBI has clearly said that the base rate will be minimum rate for all commercial loans and banks will not be permitted to resort to any rate below it.

54

Suggestion & Recommendation

Recommendation:

Customer awareness programme is required so that more people should attract towards SME

product.

If there are any kind of hidden charges than that must disclose to customer before giving loan to

them.

SBI must take some steps so that customers can get their loan in time. Like phone verification by

customer care that one customer is got their loan on time or not .It must be before a certain date

so necessary steps can be taken.

SBI should more concern about physical verification rather than phone verification so it will

avoid fraud or cheating.

SME product selling agents must not give any type of wrong information regarding advance

product.

For the better service new offers would be require.

SBI customer care should more concern about the fastest settlement of customer problems.

Before deducting or charging any monetary charge SBI must consult with customer.

Agents should be trained, well educated & proper trained to convince the people about different

advance product.

It is the duty of the bank to disclose all the material facts regarding advance product, like interest

charged, repayment period, other types of charges, etc.

Special scheme should be implemented to encourage both customer and agents.

The bank should increase the period for repayment of loan.

SBI should more focus on Retaining existing customers.

55

SBI must focus on Segmentation based on customer knowledge Product offering based on

customer demand.

SBI must take feedbacks of customers regarding features & services.

Suggestions given by the consumers at the time of survey:

o There is more time period for repayment of education loan.

o SBI should take steps to solve customer problems immediately.

o Agents should be trained, well educated & proper trained to convince the people

about different advance product.

o Loan sanction date should be according to customer convenience.

o A customer awareness programme should be taking place in rural area.

56

From the analysis part it can be conclude that customers have a good respond towards SBI SME

products in medicine market. SBI is in 1st position having large number of customers & providing

good services to them. The bank has a wide customer base, so the bank should concentrate on this to

retain these customers.
