 INTRODUCTION OF BANKING

MEANING AND DEFINITION:

Bank is an institution that deals in money and its substitutes and
provides crucial financial services. The principal type of baking in the
modern industrial world is commercial banking & central banking.
Banking Means "Accepting Deposits for the purpose of lending or
Investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or
otherwise and withdraw by cheque, draft or otherwise."
-Banking Companies (Regulation) Act,1949

The concise oxford dictionary has defined a bank as "Establishment

for custody of money which it pays out on customers order." Infact this is
the function which the bank performed when banking originated.
"Banking in the most general sense, is meant the business of
receiving, conserving & utilizing the funds of community or of any special
section of it."
-By H.Wills & J. Bogan

"A banker of bank is a person, a firm, or a company having a place of

business where credits are opened by deposits or collection of money or
currency or where money is advanced and waned.

Thus
A Bank :
• Accept deposits of money from public,
• Pays interest on money deposited with it.
• Lends or invests money
• Repays the amount on demand,
• Allow the money deposited to be with drawn by cheque or draft.

ORIGIN OF WORD BANK:

The origin of the word bank is shrouded in mystery. According to one
view point the Italian business house carrying on crude from of banking
were called banchi bancheri" According to another viewpoint banking is
derived from German word "Branck" which mean heap or mound. In
England, the issue of paper money by the government was referred to as a
raising a bank.

ORIGIN OF BANKING :
Its origin in the simplest form can be traced to the origin of authentic
history. After recognizing the benefit of money as a medium of exchange,
the importance of banking was developed as it provides the safer place to
store the money. This safe place ultimately evolved in to financial
institutions that accepts deposits and make loans i.e., modern commercial

 BANKING SYSTEM IN INDIA

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE :
We can identify there distinct phases in the history of Indian banking:
1. Early phase from 1786-1969.
2. Nationalization of banks and up to 1991 prior to banking sector
reforms.
3. New phase of Indian banking with the advent of financial banking.
Banking in India has its origin as early or Vedic period. It is believed
that the transitions from many lending to banking must have occurred
even before Manu, the great Hindu furriest, who has devoted a section
of his work to deposit and advances and laid down rules relating to the
rate of interest. During the mogul period, the indigenious banker
played a very important role in lending money and financing foreign
trade and commerce.
During the days of the East India Company it was the turn of agency
house to carry on the banking business. The General Bank of India
was the first joint stock bank to be established in the year 1786. The
other which followed was the Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank.
The Bank of Hindustan is reported to have continued till 1906. While
other two failed in the meantime. In the first half of the 19th century
the East India Company established there banks, The bank of Bengal
in 1809, the Bank of Bombay in 1840 and the Bank of Bombay
in1843. These three banks also known as the Presidency banks were
the independent units and functioned well. These three banks were

4
 amalgamated in 1920 and new bank, the Imperial Bank of India was
established on 27th January, 1921.

With the passing of the State Bank of India Act in 1955 the
undertaking of the Imperial Bank of India was taken over by the newly
constituted SBI. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which is the Central bank
was established in April, 1935 by passing Reserve bank of India act 1935.
The Central office of RBI is in Mumbai and it controls all the other banks in
the country.
In the wake of Swadeshi Movement, number of banks with the Indian
management were established in the country namely, Punjab National Bank
Ltd., Bank of India Ltd., Bank of Baroda Ltd., Canara Bank. Ltd. on 19th
July 1969, 14 major banks of the country were nationalized and on 15th
April 1980, 6 more commercial private sector banks were taken over by the
government.

Government. The Govt. runs these Banks. In India 14 banks were
nationalized in 1969 & in 1980 another 6 banks were also
nationalized. Therefore in 1980 the number of nationalized bank 20.
But at present there are 9 banks are nationalized. All these banks are
belonging to public sector category. Welfare is their principle
objective.

2. PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS

These banks are owned and run by the private sector. Various banks

control over there banks in preparation to the share of the banks held

Co-operative banks are those financial institutions. They provide short
term & medium term loans to there members. Co-operative banks are

Banks are classified into following two categories son the basis of
reserve bank Act. 1934.
1. SCHEDULED BANK

a joint stock company. It is a co-operative organization. These banks
find their mention in the second schedule of the reserve bank.
2. NON SCHEDULED BANK
These banks are not mentioned in the second schedule of reserve bank
paid up capital of these banks is less then Rs.5 lacs. The no. such bank
is gradually tolling in India.
iii CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO FUNCTION
On the basis of functions banks are classified as under :-
1. COMMERCIAL BANKS
The commercial banks generally extend short-term loans to
businessmen & traders. Since their deposits are for a short-period
only. They cannot lend money for a long period. These banks reform
various types or agency job for their customers. These banks are not
in a position to grant long-term loans to industries because their
deposits are only for a short period. The majority of joint stock banks
in India are commercial banks which finance trade & commerce only.

2. SAVING BANKS
The principle function of these banks is to collect small saving across
the country and put them into productive use. These banks have
shown marked development in Germany & Japan. These banks are

8
 established in HAMBURG City of Germany in 1765. In India a
department of post offices functions as a saving banks.

3. FOREIGN EXCHANGE BANKS

These are special types of banks which specialize in financing foreign
trade. Their main function is to make international payments through
purchase & sale of exchange bills. As it well known, the exporters of
a country prefer to receive the payments for exports in their own
currency. Thus these banks convert home currency into foreign
currency and vice versa. It is on this account that these banks have to
keep with themselves stock of the currency of various countries.
Along with that, they have to open branches in foreign countries to
carry on their business.

4. INDUSTIRAL BANKS

banking structure of the country. The central bank is the undisputed
leader of the money market. As such it supervises controls and
regulates the activities of commercial banks affiliated with it. The
central bank is also the higher monetary institution in the country
charged with the duty & responsibility of carrying out the monetary
policy formulated by the government. India's central bank known as
the reserve bank of India was set up in 1935.
7. AGRICULTURAL BANK

the credit requirements of agriculture. Hence, there arises the need for
setting up special type of banks of finance agriculture. The credit
requirement of the farmers are two types. Firstly the farmers require
short term loans to buy seeds, fertilizers, ploughs and other inputs.
Secondly, the farmers require long-term loans to purchase land, to
effect permanent improvements on the land to buy equipment and to
provide for irrigation works. There are two types of agriculture banks.

 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

Financial Statements are prepared primarily for decision-making.

They play a dominant role in setting the framework of managerial decisions.
But the information in the financial statement is not an end in itself as no
meaningful can be drawn from these statements alone.

The information provided in the financial statement is of immense use

in making decisions through analysis and interpretation of financial
statements. The financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial
strength and weakness of the firm by properly establishing relationship
between the items of the balance sheet and P&L A/C.

There are various methods or techniques used in analyzing financial

statement such as comparative statement, trend analysis, common size
statement, schedule of changes in working capital, fund flow and cash flow
analysis, cost volume profit analysis and “RATIO ANALYSIS”.

Ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tool of financial analysis. It

is a process of establishing and interpreting various ratios that the financial
statements can be analysed more clearly and decisions made from such
analysis.

Just like a DOCTOR examines his patient by recording his body

temperature, blood pressure etc before making his conclusion regarding the

16
illness and before giving his treatment, a financial analyst analysis the
financial statement with various tools of analysis before commenting upon
the financial health or weaknesses of an enterprise.

The purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information

contained in financial statements so as to judge the profitability and financial
soundness of the firm. Financial statement analysis is an attempt to
determine the significance and meaning of financial statement data so that
forecast may be made of the future earning, ability to pay interest and debt
maturities and profitability of a sound dividend policy.

A financial ratio is the relationship between two accounting figures

expressed mathematically ratio provide clues to the financial position of the
concern. These are the pointers and indicators of financial strength,
soundness, position or weakness of an enterprise. One can draw conclusions
about the exact financial position of a concern with the help of ratios.

17
 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

Objectives are the ends that states specifically how goal be achieved.
Every study must have an objective for which all the efforts have been done.
Without objective no research can be conducted and no result can be
obtained. On the basis of objective all the research process is followed.
Objectives are the main aspect of every study. The objective of the study
gives direction to go through the research problem. It guides the researcher
and keeps him on track.

I have two objectives regarding my research project. These are shown

below :-
1. Primary objective

 INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC

MEANING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:-

Financial statements refer to such statements which contains financial
information about an enterprise. They report profitability and the financial
position of the business at the end of accounting period. The team financial
statement includes at least two statements which the accountant prepares at
the end of an accounting period. The two statements are: -
1. The Balance Sheet

2. Profit And Loss Account

They provide some extremely useful information to the extent that

balance Sheet mirrors the financial position on a particular date in terms of
the structure of assets, liabilities and owners equity, and so on and the Profit
And Loss account shows the results of operations during a certain period of
time in terms of the revenues obtained and the cost incurred during the year.
Thus the financial statement provides a summarized view of financial
positions and operations of a firm.

MEANING OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

The first task of financial analysis is to select the information relevant to the
decision under consideration to the total information contained in the
financial statement. The second step is to arrange the information in a way to
highlight significant relationship. The final step is interpretation and drawing
of inference and conclusions. Financial statement is the process of selection,
relation and evaluation.

 The analyst should acquaint himself with principles and postulated of
accounting. He should know the plans and policies of the management
so that he may be able to find out whether these plans are properly
executed or not.

 The extent of analysis should be determined so that the sphere of work

27
 RATIO ANALYSIS

MEANING :

Absolute figures expressed in financial statements by themselves are

meaningfulness. These figures often do not convey much meaning unless
expressed in relation to other figures.
Thus, it c an be say that the relationship between two figures, expressed in

 CASH-FLOW STATEMENT

A cash – flow statement is a statement showing inflows (receipts) and

outflows (payments) of cash during a particular period. In other words, it is a
summary of sources and applications of each during a particular span of
time.

Objectives of Cash Flow Statement :

• Useful for Short-Term Financial Planning.

• Useful in Preparing the Cash Budget.
• Comparison with the Cash Budget.
• Study of the Trend of Cash Receipts and Payments.
• It explains the Deviations of Cash from Earnings.
• Helpful in Ascertaining Cash Flow from various Separately.
• Helpful in Making Dividend Decisions.

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The procedure adopted for conducting the research requires a lot of attention
as it has direct bearing on accuracy, reliability and adequacy of results
obtained. It is due to this reason that research methodology, which we used
at the time of conducting the research, needs to be elaborated upon.
Research Methodology is a way to systematically study and solve the
research problems. If a researcher wants to claim his study as a good study,
he must clearly state the methodology adapted in conducting the research the
research so that it way be judged by the reader whether the methodology of
work done is sound or not.

The Research Methodology here includes.

1. Meaning of Research.
2. Research Problem.
3. Research Design.
4. Sampling Design.
5. Data Collection method.
6. Analysis and interpretation of Data.

Meaning Research:
Research is defined as “a scientific and systematic search for pertinent
information on a specific topic”. Research is an art of scientific
investigation. Research is a systematized effort to gain now knowledge. It is
a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in
any branch of knowledge. Research is an academic activity and this term

34
should be used in a technical sense. Research comprises defining and
redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions. Making
deductions and reaching conclusions to determine whether they if the
formulating hypothesis. Research is thus, an original contribution to the
existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement. The search for
knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding solutions to
a problem is research.

Research Problem
The first step while conducting research is careful definition of Research
Problem. “To ERR IS THE HUMAN” is a proverb which indicates that no
one is perfect in this world. Every researcher has to face many problems
which conducting any research that’s why problem statement is defined to
know which type of problems a researcher has to face while conducting any
study. It is said that,
“Problem well defined is problem half solved.”
Basically, a problem statement refers to some difficulty, which researcher
experiences in the context of either a theoretical or practical situation and
wants to obtain the solution for the same.
The problem statement here is:
“To make a Financial Analysis of Financial statements of HDFC BANK
CHANDIGARH.

35
Research Design
A research designs is the arrangement of conditions for collection and
analysis data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research
purpose with economy in procedure. Research Design is the conceptual
structure with in which research in conducted. It constitutes the blueprint for
the collection measurement and analysis of data. Research Design includes
and outline of what the researcher will do form writing the hypothesis and it
operational implication to the final analysis of data. A research design is a
framework for the study and is used as guide in collection and analyzing the
data. It is a strategy specifying which approach will be used for gathering
and analyzing the data. It also include the time and cost budget since most
studies are done under these two cost budget since most studies are done
under theses tow constraints.
The design is such studies must be rigid and not flexible and most focus
attention on the following.
1. What is the study about?

2. Why is the study being made?

3. Where will the study be carried out?

4. What type of data is required?

5. Where can be required data be found?
6. What period of time will the study include?
7. What will be sample design?
8. What techniques of data collection will be used?
9. How will the data be analyzed?
10.In what style will the report be prepared?

36
TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN:

 EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN

 EXPLORATORY RESEARCH DESIGN
 DESCRIPTIVE& DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH

Exploratory Research Design: This research design is preferred when

researcher has a vague idea about the problem the researcher has to explore
the subject.

Experimental Research Design – The research design is used to provide a

strong basis for the existence of casual relationship between two or more
variables.

Descriptive Research Design – It seeks to determine the answers to who,

what, where, when and how questions. It is based on some previous
understanding of the matter.

Diagnostic Research Design It determines the frequency with which

something occurs or its association with something else.

Research Design Used in this Project

Research Design chosen for this study is Descriptive Research Design.
Descriptive study is based on some previous understanding of the topic.
Research has got a very specific objective and clear cut data requirements.

37
Sampling Design
Sampling is necessary because it is almost impossible to examine the entire
parent population (i.e. the entire universe) various factors such as time
available cost, purpose of study etc. make it necessary for the researchers to
choose a sample. It should neither be too small nor too big. It should be
manageable. THE sample size of past 3 years is taken for present study due
to time limitation.

DATA COLLECTIONS
The process of data collection begins after a research problem has been
defined and research design ahs been chalked out. There are two types of
data –

METHODS OF PRIMARY DATA

 OBSERVATION METHOD
 INTERVIEW METHODS
 QUESTIONAIRE METHOD
 SCHEDULE METHOD

PRIMARY DATA -
It is first hand data, which is collected by researcher itself. Primary data is
collected by various approaches so as to get a precise, accurate, realistic and
relevant data. The main tool in gathering primary data was investigation and

38
observation. It was achieved by a direct approach and observation from the
officials of the company.

SECONDARY DATA - it is the data which is already collected by

someone else. Researcher has to analyze the data and interprets the results. It
has always been important for the completion of any report. It provides
reliable, suitable, adequate and specific knowledge.
I took data comprise annual reports and post records. Bank has provided me
annual reports from 2004-05 to 2007-08 by help of which, I prepared my
report.
The valuable cooperation extended by staff members contributed a lot to
fulfill the requirements in the collection of data in order to complete the
project. Various statistical tools are applied depending on the research
problem. In this study ratio analysis, comparative financial statements
analysis, common size statements and Trend Analysis has been used for
analyzing and interpreting the result.

Interpretation

41
 If the C.R. is less than 2 : 1, it indicates lack of liquidity and
shortage of working capital. But a much higher ratio, even though it is
beneficial to the short-term creditors, is not necessarily good for the
company. A much higher ratio than 2 : 1 may indicate the poor
investment policies of the management. So liquidity of Bank is
satisfactory.

 STATISTICAL TOOLS

Introduction:
An educated citizen needs an understanding of basic
statistical tools to function in a world that is becoming increasingly
dependent on quantitative information.

Statistics means numerical description to most people

In fact the term statistics is generally used to mean numerical facts

and figures such as agricultural production during a year, rate of inflation
and so on. However as a subject of study, statistics refers to the body of
principles and procedures developed for collection, classification,
summarization and interpretation of numerical data and for the use of such
data.

Meaning: Broadly speaking the term statistics has been generally used in
two senses:
• Singular Sense
• Plural sense
The term statistics in its PLURAL SENSE, refers to the numerical data
or statistical data. In its SINGULAR SENSE, the term refers to a science
in which we deal with the techniques or methods of collecting, classifying,
presenting, analyzing and interpreting the data. In other words, the concept
in its singular sense, refers to statistical methods.

55
Purpose

Without the assistance of statistical methods an organization would find it

impossible to make a sense of huge data.
The purpose of statistics is to-
-Manipulate
-Summarize
-Investigate
The data so that useful making information results could be found out. In
fact every business manager needs a sound background of statistics.
Statistics is a set of Decision Making Techniques, Which aids businessmen
in drawing inferences from the available data

STATISTICAL TOOLS

Statistical tools are the basic measures, which help in defining the relation
between different items, present, past and future trend of particular business
etc. A wide variety of statistical tools are available and businessmen
depending upon the nature of his trade can use any of them. Various
statistical tools are-

56
 1. Correlation
2. Time series
3. Factor analysis
4. principal component analysis
5. multiple correlation

Here I am using correlation statistical tool to define the relationship between

sales and profit of company, Trend analysis in order to project future trend
values and ANOVA TEST as Hypothesis testing. So, before using the tool
one should have the knowledge about that statistical tool. Therefore this tool
is defined as under-

CORRELATION

Correlation analysis is basically used to determine the degree of relationship

between different variables. It refers to the statistical technique that is used
in measuring the closeness of relationship between two or more variables,
with the help of correlation analysis we can measure-

-The degree of relationship in one figure

-The mutual relationship between two variables.
-economic relationship between demand and supply
-The estimation of costs, sales, prices etc. is possible for a trader with
the help of correlation.

57
 TYPES OF CORRELATION

Positive and negative correlation

When two variables X and Y move in same direction i.e. positive correlation
and when both variables move in opposite direction, which is negative
correlation.
Linear and Curvy-linear Correlation
When the ratio of change of two variables X and Y remains constant
throughout, then they said to be linearly correlated and when the ratio of
change between the two variables is not constant but changing, then
correlation is said to be curvy-linear.

Simple, Partial and Multiple Correlation

When we study the relationship up to variables only, then it is called simple
correlation.
When three or ore variables are taken but relationship between any two of
the variables as constant, then it is called partial correlation and when we
study the relationship among three or more variables, it is called multiple
correlation.
DEGREE OF CORRELATION

Sr. No. Degree of correlation Positive Negative

1. Perfect correlation +1 -1
2. High degree of correlation Between +0.75 to Between -0.75 to
+1 -1
3. Moderate degree of Between +0.25 to Between -0.25 to
correlation +0.75 -0.75

58
4. Low degree of correlation Between 0+ to Between 0 to
+0.25 -0.25
5. Absence of correlation 0 0

WHY TO USE CORRELATION

Different types of statistical tools are available but for using specifically
correlation is of having a major reason i.e. only this statistical tool was
giving the satisfactory results. I have to show the relationship between sales
and profits, which can be purely defined with the help of this statistical tool
only. Furthermore, with the help of time series analysis we can define the
further trends of business by using trend analysis.

DECISION

At the level of significance Alpha=0.050 the decision is to reject the null

hypothesis of absence of correlation.
In other words, the correlation

60
is significant.

Interpretation:

1. There is a high degree of correlation between sales & profit of NLL.

2. There is a positive correlation between sales & profit of NLL.
This shows that as the sales of NLL increases profit also moves in the same
direction.
