...Manual on Financial and Banking Statistics 6. NON-BANKING FINANCIAL COMPANIES The activities of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in India have undergone qualitative changes over the years through functional specialisation. The role of NBFCs as effective financial intermediaries has been well recognised as they have inherent ability to take quicker decisions, assume greater risks, and customise their services and charges more according to the needs of the clients. While these features, as compared to the banks, have contributed to the proliferation of NBFCs, their flexible structures allow them to unbundle services provided by banks and market the components on a competitive basis. The distinction between banks and non-banks has been gradually getting blurred since both the segments of the financial system engage themselves in many similar types of activities. At present, NBFCs in India have become prominent in a wide range of activities like hire-purchase finance, equipment lease finance, loans, investments, etc. By employing innovative marketing strategies and devising tailor-made products, NBFCs have also been able to build up a clientele base among the depositors, mop up public savings and command large resources as reflected in the growth of their deposits from public, shareholders, directors and other companies, and borrowings by issue of non-convertible debentures, etc. Consequently, the share of non-bank deposits in household sector savings in financial assets...

...How this country was affected by the current global crisis? How is it dealing with the situation? Be sure to address the monetary and fiscal policy of the government and the rescue package (if any) implemented by the government. This paper describes how government of India and RBI (Reserve bank of India, equivalent to Fed Reserve in US) tackled aftermath of global financial crisis in India. Effects of Global crisis Aftermath of Financial crisis was more prominent during 2008. As the global financial crisis began unfolding in the first nine months of 2008, foreign institutional investors pulled out close to $10 billion from India, dragging the capital market down with it. The liquidity crisis, coupled with the credit squeeze and a weak currency, hurt various sectors. Banks have reined in retail financing, affecting home and auto loans. Car loans account for 70% of consumer auto purchases now, down from 85% a year ago. Meanwhile, consumers are deferring other purchases while financiers have been logging a drop in loan disbursal rates At that time the Bombay Stock Exchange Index, or Sensex, tumbled 6% to a two-year low. For the first time in five years, the central bank cut the cash reserve ratio, the amount of funds that banks have to keep with the Reserve Bank of India by 50 basis points, to 8.5%, on Oct. 6, 2008. The same evening, the Securities & Exchange Commission of India eased some restrictions on foreign portfolio investors—such as registering in India before...

...Introduction The Indian Financial Institutions Sector The Indian Financial sector is still dominated by Bank intermediation. Though the size of Capital market has started expanding significantly from the early 1990s, bank intermediation remains the dominant feature. The market capitalization as a percentage of GDP in India is $ 1.03 trillion, which is about 90% of the GDP, while countries like Hong Kong (525% of GDP), Singapore (221%) are way ahead. India s Bond market capitalization also remains low at 50 % (McKinsey report) with the corporate bond market way behind the government debt market. The bank deposits account for 52% of the GDP, and about three fourth of the total assets of the financial system. (Paper by Wharton publications on financial systems in India, 2007). The Non Banking sector, including the Mutual funds, Non Banking Financial Companies, Insurance companies and Other Financial institutions account for over 30% of the Financial Sector’s assets. This adds up to about 26 lakh crore in assets (2008-09-FSAP). According to The Financial Development index-2008, India scores better in Financial intermediation through Non-Banks ranking 16th, compared to a rank of 50th in terms of Banks. India ranks better in terms of capital access comparable to Japan, in spite of much lower assets/GDP comparatively. Classification of Financial institutions The Financial institutions in India can be broadly classified into the categories as listed in the representation...

...always associated with the contemporary changes in the economy. The Indian banking industry has undergone a metamorphosis in the last two decades due to changes in the political, economic, financial, social, legal and technological environments. The mind boggling advances in technology and deregulation of financial markets across the countries created new opportunities, tempting banks to enter every business that had been thrown open. The banks are now moving towards universal banking concepts, while adding new channels and a series of innovative product offerings catering to various segments at an attractive price. This makes it imperative for the banks to adopt sophisticated risk management techniques and to establish a link between risk exposures and capital. Effective management of risk has always been the focus area for banks owing to the increasing sophistication in the product range and services and the complex channels that deliver them. The challenge for the banks is to put in place a risk control system that minimizes the volatility in profit and engenders risk consciousness across the rank and file of the organization. Sound risk management will ensure a healthy bottom line for the bank as risk taken by the bank will be commensurate with return and will be within an approved risk management policy. As all transactions of the banks revolve around raising and deploying the funds, Asset-Liability Management (ALM) gains more significance as an initiative towards the risk management...
