OVERVIEW
State Bank of India is the largest and one of the oldest commercial bank in India, in
existence for more than 200 years. The bank provides a full range of corporate,
commercial and retail banking services in India. Indian central bank namely Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) is the major share holder of the bank with 59.7% stake. The bank is
capitalized to the extent of Rs.646bn with the public holding (other than promoters) at
40.3%. SBI has the largest branch and ATM network spread across every corner of
India. The bank has a branch network of over 14,000 branches (including subsidiaries).
Apart from Indian network it also has a network of 73 overseas offices in 30 countries in
all time zones, correspondent relationship with 520 International banks in 123 countries.
In recent past, SBI has acquired banks in Mauritius, Kenya and Indonesia. The bank
had total staff strength of 198,774 as on 31st March, 2006. Of this, 29.51% are officers,
45.19% clerical staff and the remaining 25.30% were sub-staff. The bank is listed on the
Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange, Kolkata Stock Exchange, Chennai
Stock Exchange and Ahmedabad Stock Exchange while its GDRs are listed on the
London Stock Exchange. SBI group accounts for around 25% of the total business of
the banking industry while it accounts for 35% of the total foreign exchange in India.
With this type of strong base, SBI has displayed a continued performance in the last few
years in scaling up its efficiency levels. Net Interest Income of the bank has witnessed a
CAGR of 13.3% during the last five years. During the same period, net interest margin
(NIM) of the bank has gone up from as low as 2.9% in FY02 to 3.40% in FY06 and
currently is at 3.32%.
 Management
The bank has 14 directors on the Board and is responsible for the management of the
Bank’s business. The board in addition to monitoring corporate performance also
carries out functions such as approving the business plan, reviewing and approving the
annual budgets and borrowing limits and fixing exposure limits. Mr. O. P. Bhatt is the
Chairman of the bank. The five-year term of Mr. Bhatt will expire in March 2011. Prior to
this appointment, Mr. Bhatt was Managing Director at State Bank of Travancore. Mr.
Bhatt has more than 30 years of experience in the Indian banking industry and is seen
as futuristic leader in his approach towards technology and customer service. Mr. Bhatt
has had the best of foreign exposure in SBI. We believe that the appointment of Mr.
Bhatt would be a key to SBI’s future growth momentum. Mr. T S Bhattacharya is the
Managing Director of the bank and known for his vast experience in the banking
industry. Recently, the senior management of the bank has been broadened
considerably. The positions of CFO and the head of treasury have been segregated,
and new heads for rural banking and for corporate development and new business
banking have been appointed. The management’s thrust on growth of the bank in terms
of network and size would also ensure encouraging prospects in time to come.

 Shareholding& Liquidity
Reserve Bank of India is the largest shareholder in the bank with 59.7% stake followed
by overseas investors including GDRs with 19.78% stake as on September 06. Indian
financial institutions held 12.3% while Indian public held just 8.2% of the stock. RBI is
the monetary authority and having majority shareholding reflects conflict of interest.
Now the government is rectifying the above error by transferring RBI’s holding to itself.
Post this, SBI will have a further headroom to dilute the GOI’s stake from 59.7% to
51.0%, which will further improve its CAR and Tier I ratio.
 Key Areas of Operations
The business operations of SBI can be broadly classified into the key income generating areas
such as National Banking, International Banking, Corporate Banking, & Treasury operations.

HISTORY
The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth
century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806.
Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of
Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British
India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840)
and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks
remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial
Bank of India on 27 January 1921.
Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either
as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European
commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise
India's economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar
developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the
structure of both the local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian
economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework.
The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time.
Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed
and the rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of
directors, which managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors
representing the large European managing agency houses in India. The rest were
government nominees, invariably civil servants, one of whom was elected as the
president of the board.

 Business
The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exchange or
other negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and
issuing and circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs.one Lakh and the period
of accommodation confined to three months only. The security for such loans was
public securities, commonly called Company's Paper, bullion, treasure, plate, jewels, or
goods 'not of a perishable nature' and no interest could be charged beyond a rate of
twelve per cent. Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woolens, cotton, cotton
piece goods, mule twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of
cash credits gained momentum only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All
commodities, including tea, sugar and jute, which began to be financed later, were
either pledged or hypothecated to the bank. Demand promissory notes were signed by
the borrower in favor of the guarantor, which was in turn endorsed to the bank. Lending
against shares of the banks or on the mortgage of houses, land or other real property
was, however, forbidden. Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of
Company's paper, while the business of discounts on private as well as salary bills was
almost the exclusive monopoly of individuals Europeans and their partnership firms. But
the main function of the three banks, as far as the government was concerned, was to
help the latter raise loans from time to time and also provide a degree of stability to the
prices of government securities.
 First Five Year Plan
In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural India
was given the highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the
Imperial Bank of India had till then confined their operations to the urban sector and
were not equipped to respond to the emergent needs of economic regeneration of the
rural areas. In order, therefore, to serve the economy in general and the rural sector in
particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the creation of a
state-partnered and state-sponsored bank by taking over the Imperial Bank of India, and
integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was
accordingly passed in Parliament in May 1955 and the State Bank of India was
constituted on 1 July 1955. More than a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking
system thus passed under the direct control of the State. Later, the State Bank of India
(Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959, enabling the State Bank of India to take
over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries (later named Associates).
The State Bank of India was thus born with a new sense of social purpose aided by the
480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices inherited
from the Imperial Bank. The concept of banking as mere repositories of the community's
savings and lenders to creditworthy parties was soon to give way to the concept of
purposeful banking sub serving the growing and diversified financial needs of planned
economic development. The State Bank of India was destined to act as the pacesetter
in this respect and lead the Indian banking system into the exciting field of national
development.

: Strength/ Opportunities :
The growth for SBI in the coming years is likely to be fuelled by the following factors:
 Continued effort to increase low cost deposit would ensure improvement in NIMs
and hence earnings.
 Growing retail & SMEs thrust would lead to higher business growth.
 Strong economic growth would generate higher demand for funds pursuant to
higher corporate demand for credit on account of capacity expansion.
: Weakness/ Threats :
The risks that could ensue to SBI in time to come are as under:
 SBI is currently operating at a lowest CAR. Insufficient capital may restrict the
growth prospects of the bank going forward.
 Stiff competition, especially in the retail segment, could impact retail growth of SBI
and hence slowdown in earnings growth.
 Contribution of retail credit to total bank credit stood at 26%. Significant thrust on
growing retail book poses higher credit risk to the bank.
 Delay in technology up gradation could result in loss of market shares.
 Management indicated a likely pension shortfall on account of AS-15 to be close to
Rs50bn.
 Slow down in domestic economy would pose a concern over credit off-take thereby
impacting earnings growth.
