MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS :
Industrial Structure and Development
Fiscal 2012 was a challenging year for the global economy. Prolonged
uncertainty around the resolution of the Eurozone sovereign debt
crisis, rating downgrades of sovereigns and slow recovery of the US
economy increased risks to global growth.
The Indian economy saw moderation in economic activity during fiscal
2012, following domestic macroeconomic conditions of high interest
rates and slowdown in investments. India''s gross domestic product (GDP)
grew by 6.9% during the first nine months of fiscal 2012, compared to a
growth of 8.1% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011.
The Union Budget for fiscal 2013 has projected the government''s fiscal
deficit to come down from an estimated 5.9% of GDP in fiscal 2012 to
5.1% in fiscal 2013. RBI has projected India''s GDP to grow by 7.3% in
fiscal 2013, with credit growth estimated at 17.0% and deposit growth
at 16.0%. RBI has projected inflation to be at 6.5% in March 2013.
Outlook, Risk and Concern
Risk Management Policy of the company provides a summary of company''s
principles regarding risk taking and risk management. The principles
are based on the best practices and designs to avoid conflict of
interests. The company has developed an elaborate risk strategy in
terms of policy guidelines, for managing and monitoring various risks
The primary risks that the Company is exposed to are: Credit risk
(Corporate & Retail lending), Market risk (Liquidity and Interest rate
risk) and Operational risk. The Company''s risk policies outline the
products offered, customer and client categories, credit approval
processes with limits and risk monitoring and reporting.
The Management reviews risk policies from time to time to address
strategy and portfolio/balance sheet risks arising from equity
investments, credit, liquidity movements and interest rate movements
Opportunities and Threats
The performance of capital market is in correlation with the economic
growth of the country as well as global economy, performance of various
sectors, inflation, global market, etc. Instability of any of the
factors may affect the market adversely. The capital market operation
involves inbuilt risk and uncertainty, which carries various
opportunities and threats to the investors
The Financial Stability Report (FSR) by the Financial Stability Unit
constituted by the Reserve Bank stress for institutionalizing the focus
on financial stability and making it an integral part of the policy
framework. The first FSR makes an assessment of the strength of the
financial sector, with particular focus on banks, and has raised some
concerns, including rising inflation, high government borrowings and
likely surge in capital flows, from the financial stability standpoint.
The FSR also emphasised the need for evolving a stronger supervisory
regime for systemically important non-deposit taking non-banking
financial companies (NBFCs-ND-SI)and strengthening the monitoring and
oversight framework for systemically important financial conglomerates.
Overall risk to financial stability was found to be limited. However,
the recent financial turmoil has clearly demonstrated that financial
stability cannot be taken for granted, and that the maintenance of
financial stability requires constant vigilance, especially during
normal times to detect and mitigate any incipient signs of instability.
Adequacy of Internal Control System
The Company maintains a system of well established policies and
procedures for internal control of operations and activities, and these
are continually reviewed for effectiveness. The internal control system
is supported by qualified personnel and a continuous program of
internal audit. The prime objective of such audits is to test the
adequacy and effectiveness of all internal control systems laid''down by
the management and to suggest improvements..We believe that the
Company''s overall system of internal control is adequate given the size
and nature of operations and effective implementation of internal
control self assessment procedures. The Company encourages and
recognizes improvements in work practices. The internal control system
of the Company is also reviewed by the Audit Committee periodically.
