4.1 FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN INDIA
Liberalizing foreign direct investment regulations was important part of India’s
reforms, driven by the belief that this will increase the total volume of investment in
the economy, improve production technology, and increase access to world markets.
The policy now allows 100 percent foreign ownership in a large number of industries
and majority ownership in all except banks, insurance companies,
telecommunications and airlines. Procedures for obtaining permission were greatly
simplified by listing industries that are eligible for automatic approval up to specified
levels of foreign equity (100 percent, 74 percent and 51 percent). Potential foreign
investors investing within these limits only need to register with the Reserve Bank of
India, for investments in other industries, or for a higher share of equity than is
automatically permitted in listed industries, applications are considered by a Foreign
Investment Promotion Board that has established a track record of speedy decisions.
In 1993, foreign institutional investors were allowed to purchase shares of listed
Indian companies in the stock market, opening a window for portfolio investment in
existing companies.
Reforms in Indian economy have created a very different competitive environment for
India’s industry than existed in 1991, which has led to significant changes. Indian
companies have upgraded their technology and expanded to more efficient scales of
production. They have also restructured through mergers and acquisitions and
refocused their activities to concentrate on areas of competence. New dynamic firms
have displaced older and less dynamic ones: of the top 100 companies ranked by
market capitalization in 1991, about half are no longer in this group. Foreign
investment inflows increased from virtually nothing in 1991 to about 0.5 percent of
GDP. Although this figure remains much below the levels of foreign direct
investment in many emerging market countries (not to mention 4 percent of GDP in
China), the change from the pre-reform situation is impressive. The presence of
foreign-owned firms and their products in the domestic market is evident and has
added greatly to the pressure to improve quality.

4.1.1 Regulatory Framework for Foreign Investment in India:
Foreign Investment in India is governed by the FDI policy announced by the
Government of India and the provision of the Foreign Exchange Management Act
(FEMA) 1999. The Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’) in this regard had issued a
notification, which contains the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or issue of
security by a person resident outside India) Regulations, 2000. This notification has
been amended from time to time.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India is the nodal agency for
monitoring and reviewing the FDI policy on continued basis and changes in sectoral
policy/ sectoral equity cap. The FDI policy is notified through Press Notes by the
Secretariat for Industrial Assistance (SIA), Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion (DIPP).
The foreign investors are free to invest in India, except few sectors/activities, where
prior approval from the RBI or Foreign Investment Promotion Board (‘FIPB’) would
be required.
4.1.2 FDI v/s FII after liberalization
There are two main routes foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign institutional
investment (FII) for inflow of foreign capital in a country. FDI is considering as
economically viable and strategic foreign investment, because it is mobilizing the
economic resources of the country and it is a long lasting investment. FII consider as
an opportunistic investment because it based on the state of capital market, it is lees
consistent as compare to FDI.
As shown in (Table – 4.1), the foreign investment through FDI start growing from
1992, it was grown by positive growth rate up to 1997-98, but suddenly it was decline
again pick the growth up to 2007-08, this was the year when world economy face
financial crisis. India economy have shown the straight impact on foreign capital
invested in India, this year FDI dropped by more then 50 percent. Foreign Portfolio
investors have shown the same behavior for investment in India this year but it was
found by correlating FDI and FII investment in India, that investment in terms of FDI
was declined but not stopped but institutional investors have shown the opportunistic
behavior resulted FII sale more securities and purchases from Indian capital market.

It has been observe by the study that, FDI increased in India with a constant growth
rate (Figure - 01), with small downtrend in 2003-04 then sharp upturn in 2005-06,
again declining movement in comparison to previous year but not declined more then
previous. Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) behavior just appositive in comparison
to strategic investor behavior, portfolio investment followed fluctuate pattern and at
the time of global crisis these investors were in hurry for pull back their money.
4.1.3 Route-wise FDI Inflows
Components of FDI inflows are studied over a period of time, this research found that
the value of equity inflows of incorporated bodies declined between 2001-02 and
2003-04, but have been on an uptrend thereafter .Inflows through reinvested earnings
increased continuously through this period, with only 2003-04 as an exceptional year.
Annual fluctuations were observed for the inflows under equity capital of
unincorporated bodies. However, the value of inflows through other capital stagnated
during this period. (Table- 4.2) indicating that there are two main channels for the
entry of FDI into India: the SIA/FIPB Route and the RBI Automatic Approval Route.
From the inception of economic reforms in India in 1991 until the year 2000, most of
the FDI came through the government route as there was strict monitoring of the
approvals; therefore, FDI coming through the SIA/FIPB route was greater than the
FDI coming through the RBI rout

However, there has been a dilution of this trend in the past five years. With the
investment boom in India and different states competing for FDI, the government has
eased foreign investment regulations leading to a spurt in FDI coming through the
RBI route, which is a positive sign. During 1991, as much as 54.1 per cent of total
FDI was channeled through the FIPB route in contrast to 45.9 per cent through the

RBI route. No inflows on account of acquisition of existing shares were recorded for
this year. The route-wise FDI inflows fluctuated till 1998. During 1998, the FDI
inflows through the SIA/ FIPB route accounted for 62.1 per cent of the total FDI
inflows, while those through the RBI’s automatic route touched an all-time low of
only 7.3 per cent. However, by this year, inflows through acquisition had gained a
significant share of 3.06 per cent in total FDI inflows. The following period until
2007, for which the latest figures are available, recorded an increase in share of
inflows through the RBI’s automatic route, a decrease in the shares of inflows through
the SIA/FIPB, while the share of inflows through acquisitions remained banded
between 30 to 20 per cent.
4.1. 4 FDI in India by Automatic Route
FDI in sectors/activities to the extent permitted under automatic route does not require
any prior approval either by the Government or RBI. The investors are only required
to notify the Regional Office concerned of RBI within 30 days of receipt of inward
remittances and file the required documents with that office within 30 days of issue of
shares of foreign investors.
In this research it has been found that automatic approval route of FDI is the most
preferred route adopted by foreign investor for investment in India, up to 2009 this is
the rote which attracted largest shares of foreign capital 48343 million US $ in
comparison to other route (Table-4.2). It was star growing by year 1992 up to year
1997 then decline, again shown the growth by year 2000, and after 2000 it’s shown
continuous growth.

4.1.5 FDI in India by Government Approval
FDI in all activities not covered under the automatic route require prior government
approval. Approvals of all such proposals including composite proposals involving
foreign investment/foreign technical collaboration are granted on the
recommendations of Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).Prior government
approval route for foreign investment, in the following circumstances, needs approval:
a. Activities which require prior government license
b. Proposal exceeding the sectoral caps or where provisions of Press Note 1
(2005 Series) issued by the Government of India are attracted;
c. Where more than 24 per cent foreign equity is proposed to be inducted for
manufacture of items reserved for the Small Scale sector
d. Proposal for acquisition of shares of an Indian company in Financial Sector
and where the transactions attract the provisions of SEBI (Substantial
Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997.
This research studies indicate that FDI under government’s route has shown the
fluctuation but it was always then a certain level. In between 1990 – 2000 it was
highest in 1997-98 by this route and from 2000-10 it was highest in 2008-09. This
type of movement in government approval routes is because of changing
government policy year by year.

4.1.6 FDI in India by Merger and Acquisition Route:
Merger & Acquisitions are increasingly been recognized as a business tool. The most
widely practiced business strategy i.e. organic growth story - involving steps that a
company would take to augment its human resource, clients, infrastructure resources
etc thus resulting in organic growth of its revenues and profits. The M&A route
interchangeably used as inorganic growth story would provide immediate extension of
company’s human resource, clientele, infrastructure thus catalyzing the growth. Given
the fact that the economies are globalizing, more and more M&A are happening.
M&A are now driven more with business consideration rather than dominated by
regulations. Yet the local legislations do play in role in shaping the M&A.
With the FDI policies becoming more liberalized since the last many years, Mergers,
Acquisitions deals are growing at a good rate. The list of past and anticipated mergers
and acquisitions in India covers every size and variety of business providing platforms
for the small companies being acquired by bigger ones. India companies merge with
some big foreign companies as ell as the some big foreign companies merge with
India companies for getting the advantage of large Indian market. The merger and
acquisition deals in India after liberalization followed continuous growth (Figure –
4.4), this growth get accelerated after 2003 – 04 and it was highest in year 2008-09,
then face global crisis and declined by a substantial share. These routes are preferred
by strategic investors who are utilizing the economic resource of a country.

4.1.7 FDI in India by NRI schemes
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) are allowed to
invest in the primary and secondary capital markets in India through the portfolio
investment scheme (PIS). Under this scheme, FIIs/NRIs can acquire
shares/debentures of Indian companies through the stock exchanges in India.
� The ceiling for overall investment for FIIs is 24 per cent of the paid up capital
of the Indian company and 10 per cent for NRIs/PIOs. The limit is 20 per cent
of the paid up capital in the case of public sector banks, including the State
Bank of India.
� The ceiling of 24 per cent for FII investment can be raised up to sectoral
cap/statutory ceiling, subject to the approval of the board and the general body
of the company passing a special resolution to that effect. And the ceiling of
10 per cent for NRIs/PIOs can be raised to 24 per cent subject to the approval
of the general body of the company passing a resolution to that effect.

Investment in India by this route not generate any substantial share after liberalizing
India economy, this was one of the low considered route for foreign inflow in India. It
start picked growth in 1994-95 (Figure – 4.5), maintained that for 1996 0nly, it was
633 million US $ in 1995 (maximum), then 600 million US $ in 1996, then it start
declining and dropped up to 290 million US $ in 1997. After 2003 onwards foreign
investors reject that route of investment in India.

4.2 IMPACT OF LIBERALIZATION IN STOCK MARKET
REGULATIONS
4.2.1 SEBI and Capital Market
The securities and Exchange Board of India was incorporated as an investor
protection body in 1992 by virtue of special enactment, namely by SEBI Act 1992.
The act came into force on from Jan30, 1992. It made provision for the establishment
of board to protect the interest of investors in securities and to promote the
development of, and to regulate securities market and for matter connected therewith.
The primary duty of board, as provided in Sec.11, is to protect the interest of investor
in securities and to promote the development and of to regulate the securities market
by such measures, as it think fit.
4.2.2 Landmark Policy Initiative by SEBI
The prominent policy initiative adopted by SEBI during 1998 include, among other
things, popularizing dematerialization, formulating regulations for derivatives, buy –
back, Collective Investment Schemes(CIS), credit rating agencies and also
amendments to the take over regulation of 1992. The efforts in nudging the market in
to electronic form of trading have been successful, with over 30 to 40 percent of
delivery in the demat mode at times, even greater then 50 percent of BSE. The
regulators expect at least 70 percent of trading to be delivered in the paperless mode
and 99 percent by 2000.SEBI has allowed exchange to set up terminal abroad and
extent their reach within India too. BSE and NSE have a presence in
approximately200 cities each. While Koakata , Delhi and Ludhiyana are exploring the
possibilities of expanding their terminals in and around these cities. Regulation on
Derivatives trading, Buy-back, credit rating, roles of mutual fund trustees and
amendments to takeover regulations wee finalizes during 1998. The derivatives
trading committee suggest a phase’s introduction to derivatives trading beginning of
with stock index future. Complex types may be introduces after market participants
gain comfort and familiarities with the products.
� The L C Gupta Committee laid down the ground rule for a derivative
exchange to operate as effective self regulatory organizations and suggest a
more stringent governance mechanism. The regulator permit buy back of share
Estelar
115
through a tender offer to existing shareholders, a book building process, open
market purchases and barred negotiating deals, spot transaction and private
placement.
� The Bagwati Committee also clears the deck with regarded to the impact of
buy back on takeover rules. The CIS bought under the purview of SEBI.
� The Dev Committee in its interim recommendations made credit rating
mandatory for any such scheme that wish to raise money from public and
directed that and their meaning be incorporated in offer documents,
advertisement and all publicity material.
4.2.3 Report of Informal Group on Primary Market
The group headed by Dr S N Acharya, Chief Economic Advisor Ministry of Finance
deliberate on the following issue – reasons for the slow down in primary market,
measure to improve the market and creation of a database for the private placement,
and regulatory issue relating to private placement. In order to look for possible
explanation for the poor performance of market, the group looked in to following
aspects:
� Demand/Supply Issue: Lack of demand for capital fund, lack of supply of
funds.
� Regulatory Issue: Stringent entry norms / disclosure requirement: over
regulation of market.
� Liquidity Aspect: Illiquid secondary market – lack of exit routes for majority
of shares, absences of market after an issue, overpricing of an issue which
leaves no premium to the investor in the post issue market.
The SEBI Board accepted most of the recommendations of the informal group on the
primary market and the following may be mentioned in this regard:
� Primary to be made compulsory trough the depository mode after a specific
date.
� 100 percent book building in respect of issue of Rs 25 crore and above.
� Reduction in number of mandatory collection center in respect of issue above
Rs 10 crore to four metropolitan cities.
� Measures taken to revive the secondary market include:
a. The Companies (Amendment) Ordinance 1998 dated 31 October 1998,
empowering companies to purchase their own shares subject to SEBI
regulation.
Estelar
116
b. Amendments of SEBI takeover regulations permitting easier
consolidations by promoters.
c. Publishing of unaudited result by listed companies on quarterly bases.
d. Rolling settlement in respect of dematerialization securities and
stringent margin requirement to curb excess volatility in share price.
To facilitate the flow of fund to the infrastructure sector, SEBI decided to grant
specific relaxation to public issue by infrastructure companies that are defined under
Section 10(23G) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
4.2.4 Promoting OTC exchange:
� On the line of highly successful NASDAQ, the OTC exchange needs to be
seriously promoted. It can become an effective vehicle for the valuation of
technology stock and provide an efficient trading mechanism to investors.
4.2.4 Disinvestment PSE shares:
� The importance of correct price of PSE share is undisputable. This can be
done only by issuing the shares in domestic market rather then opting as GDR
route, according the expert observation of the capital market. Assuming that
about five million shareholders are created in the current financial year due to
PSE investment within the country.
4.2.6 According to prime database
� The central government should ease the “stringent and impractical” entry
norms for new public issue to help good companies taped to the market. The
agency preferred that entry barrier should be reasonable and focus should be
on quality, quantity and delivery format of pre – issue and post – issue
information disclosure.
4.2.7 Task Force to Track Vanishing Companies
SEBI joined force with the Department of Economic Affairs and Department of
Company Affairs to crackdown on promoter of companies that disappeared after
going public. The joint committee will comprise the SEBI chairman and also director
from DEA and DCA.
Estelar
117
The committee comprises the official of DCA and SEBI reviewed in its meeting held
on July 19, 1999, the various action initiated by task force against unscrupulous
promoters. Based on the study and physical verification undertaken by the stock
exchange for companies that come out with initial public offering after 1992, SEBI
had at present identified 80 companies that were not traced at their registered office
address as mention in the offer document. SEBI follow the following criteria, to term
a company as vanishing company:
1. Companies that did not comply with listing requirement such as submission of
annual report, schedule of distribution, communication of the record date, ect ,
for the period of two years.
2. Where no correspondent has been received by the exchange for a long time
and.
3. No office of the company is located at the mention registered office address.
4.2.8 Regulating the Debt Market:
The RBI at present meeting the high – level committee has sought to take complete
power to regulate debt market is it private or government debt. It felt that this would
lead to parity and less confusion in the market. It also wanted to regulate the private
placement which account for a huge chunk of debt issue. The RBI feels that since
most of the market includes interest rate, is under its control it would be best
institution to regulate debt market. The RBI at present, regulate all government
securities. This in itself is a market worth over several thousand crore. Listed
securities are covered by the SEBI while private placement goes unchecked. The later
segment would be moved under the SEBI. The RBI it may noted act as both the issuer
of government debt and regulator thereof.
4.2.9 Market capitalization in BSE after liberalization
The annual turnover, market capitalization and BSE Sensex increased sharply by 99
per cent in 1991-92 Share markets were un-precedentedly buoyant due to the
liberalization measures announced by the government to attract investments. Some
important proposals announced in the Union Budget of 1992-93, such as the abolition
of wealth tax on financial assets, abolition of the office of the CCI, free pricing era,
permission for Indian companies to raise funds abroad and so on triggered volumes on
Estelar
118
BSE. Irregularities in the securities transactions of banks and financial institutions
also added to the speculative pressure in the stock markets. These irregularities were
detected in 1992-93, when the scam broke out which led to the streamlining of stock
market operations by BSE authorities, sharply reducing the turnover. In 1996-97, the
turnover at BSE rose by 148 per cent. Badla was revived, which led to massive rise in
the turnover in the specified group of shares. Moreover, the extension of trading
terminals outside Mumbai in September 1997 and rapid progress in trading in demat
paperless form were some of the reasons for increase in turnover witnessed from
1996-97 to 1998-99.
During 1999-2000, the BSE turnover witnessed a sharp increase of 119 per cent. The
market was driven by large FII inflows, improved corporate performance, sound
macro-economic fundamentals, and upgrading of India’s international credit ratings
stable to positive by international credit rating agencies. In 2000-01, the increase in
turnover was 46 per cent. This was due to a slow down in FII inflows, large sell offs
of new economy stocks on Nasdaq, increase in international oil prices, payment crisis
at some stock exchanges, and liquidity problems with some cooperative banks.
During 2000-2010 the BSE turnover was grown by good rate in comparison to the
period 1991-2000. It was because of large number of IPO’s and introduction of ADR
and GDR. The growth was maximum in 2008-09 because of maximum FDI this year
as well as large merger and acquisitions.
The number of listed companies rose from 2,471 in 1990-91 to 5,782 in 2001-02. The
market capitalization is an indicator of the addition to the wealth of share owners. Its
increase is a function of price change and supply change coming from new issues. In
the first year of economic reforms, market capitalization increased by 256 per cent. It
was the result of an increase in shares prices due to an announcement of liberalization
measures and the listing of six PSU stocks for the first time on the stock exchange. In
the subsequent year, 1992-93, market capitalization declined due to irregularities in
securities transactions. Shares prices firmed up again in 1993-94 due to increased
flow of foreign funds, increased investor interest, and speculative trading.

4.2.10 Market capitalization in NSE after liberalization
With the liberalization of the Indian economy, it was found inevitable to lift the
Indian stock market trading system on par with the international standards. On the
basis of the recommendations of high powered Pherwani Committee, the National
Stock Exchange was incorporated in 1992 by Industrial Development Bank of India,
Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, Industrial Finance Corporation
of India, all Insurance Corporations, selected commercial banks and others.
The Trading on the NSE’s capital market commenced on November 4, 1995 and has
been witnessing a substantial growth over the years. The growth of NSE turnover
figures shows a substantial rise from Rs. 1,805 crore (US $ 574.29 million) in the year
1994-95 to Rs. 2,752,023 crore (US $ 540,141.59 million) in 2008-09. With the
increase in volumes, efficient and transparent trading platform, a wide range of
securities like equity, preference shares, debt warrants, exchange traded funds as well
as retail government securities, NSE upholds its position as the largest stock exchange
in the country. The CM segment of NSE provides an efficient and transparent
platform for trading of equity, preference shares, debentures, warrants, exchange
traded funds as well as retail Government securities.
Riding on superior technology and FII preference, the National Stock Exchange is
expected to surpass its older counterpart, the Bombay Stock Exchange, in market
capitalization for the first time in history. In terms of the relative size of the two main
Indian equity markets, NSE has become the exchange of choice, According to Celent
estimates; the market turnover of NSE for 2009 would be more than two times the
turnover of BSE. On 7 August, NSE turnover in value dominated by NSE, which has
the leading position among derivatives exchanges in the world as well. “Superior use
of technology from its inception and better strategy has meant that NSE towers over
its local counterpart in BSE. Also, it is expected to break into the global top five by
volume in the near future,” the report added. In 2008, NSE had a trade volume of 590
million contracts which grew by 55.4% over previous year, making it the eighth
largest derivatives exchange in the world.

4.3 IMPACT OF LIBERALIZATION ON FII
A well-developed stock market has its impact on the demand side also. It provides
investors with an array of assets with varying degree of risk, return and liquidity. This
increased choice of assets and the existence of a vibrant stock market provide savers with
more liquidity and options, thereby inducing more savings. Increased competition from
foreign financial institutions also paves the way for the derivatives’ market.
Link Model: Portfolio Investment and Economic Development
Above model indicating that portfolio investment is also a stimulus of economic
development because, its is main source of fund of corporate. The demand of portfolio
investment is created by companies and their routes are decided by government. It is
considered as less reliable source of fund for economic development because, its
fluctuate on some minor trends of economy.

4.3.1 FII in India (2000 – 2009)
Foreign institutional investors have gained a significant role in Indian capital markets.
Availability of foreign capital depends on many firm specific factors other than
economic development of the country. In this context this paper examines the
contribution of foreign institutional investment particularly among companies included
in sensitivity index (Sensex) of Bombay Stock Exchange. Also examined is the
relationship between foreign institutional investment and firm specific characteristics in
terms of ownership structure, financial performance and stock performance. It is
observed that foreign investors invested more in companies with a higher volume of
shares owned by the general public. The promoters’ holdings and the foreign investments
are inversely related. Foreign investors choose the companies where family shareholding
of promoters is not substantial. Among the financial performance variables the share
returns and earnings per share are significant factors influencing their investment
decision.
Foreign portfolio inflows through FIIs, in India, are important from the policy
perspective, especially when the country has emerged as one of the most attractive
investment destinations in Asia. In this paper an effort has been made to develop an
understanding of the investment decisions in different group of shares in BSE, and
behavior of the FIIs in the Indian equity market of last ten years. This study show that the
FII in India was maximum in 2004 then it starts declining (Table -4.5), then it faced the
challenged of global crisis, in 2007 the net sale of shares by foreign investors is mare
then net purchases.

4.3.2 FII and BSE Sensex India Sensex is the commonly used name for the Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index –
an index Composed of 30 of the largest and most actively traded stocks on the Bombay
Stock Exchange (BSE). The term FII is used most commonly in India to refer to outside
companies investing in the financial markets of India. FII investment is frequently
referred to as hot money for the reason that it can leave the country at the same speed at
which it comes in. In country like India; statutory agencies like SEBI have prescribed
norms to register FIIs and also to regulate such investments flowing in through FIIs. It
has been found by the study (Table-4.6) that BSE Sensex and foreign institutional
investment has followed a closed relationship, when net sensex was moved up than the
FII was also increased and when net sensex was down the total FII was goes gown.

4.3.3 FII AND INDIVIDUAL GROUP SECURITIES IN BSE:
The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), India’s leading stock exchange, has classified
Equity scripts into categories A, B1, B2, S, T, TS, & Z to provide guidance to the
investors. The classification is on the basis of several factors like market capitalization,
trading volumes and numbers, track records, profits, dividends, shareholding patterns,
and some qualitative aspects. On the basis of the study it has been found that some group
of shares attract the attention of FII at larger (Table -4.7), some at very low and some
group of shares are completely unable to attract the attention of foreign investors these
groups are negatively co-related with the total FII in India. This study taking forward by
studying each group of shares with total FII individually, explaining the reasons of low
and high investment by foreign intuitional investors in India.

4.4 IMPACT OF LIBERALIZATION IN INDIAN BANKING SECTOR
The Indian financial sector comprises a large network of commercial banks, financial
institutions, stock exchanges and a wide range of financial instruments. It has undergone a
significant structural transformation since the initiation of financial liberalization in
1990s.The third period, mid 1980’s onwards, is characterized by consolidation,
diversification and liberalization. However a more comprehensive liberalization programme
was initiated by the government of India during early 1990’s.The impetus to financial sector
reforms came with the submission of three influential reports by the Chakravarty Committee
in 1985, the Vaghul in 1987 and the Narasimham Committee in 1991. But the
recommendations of the Narasimham Committee provided the blueprint of the reforms,
especially with regard to banks and other financial institutions. In 1991, the government of
India initiated a comprehensive financial sector liberalization programme. The liberalization
programme includes de-controlled interest rates, reduced reserve ratios and slowly reduced
government control of banking operations while establishing a market regulatory framework.
Banks as financial intermediaries play a significant role in economic growth, provide funds
for investments, and keep the cost of capital low. During the last few decades, structure of
banking sector has turned from a controlled system into liberalized one. The efficiency of
banks, which reflects the ability of banks in transforming its resources to output by making
its best allocation, is essential for the growth of an economy. However, due to the major role
played by banks in the development of economy, the banking sector has been one of the
major sectors that have received renewed interest from researchers and economists.
The rapid advances in computer and communication technology have led to the development
of new bank services and financial instruments. Therefore, the economies of world have
experienced a revolutionary change in the environment of banking sector. The competition
among banks at domestic and global level has increased and it has compelled the banking
industry to improve their efficiency and productivity. Moreover, the government and policy
makers have adopted various policies and measures out of which consolidation of banks
emerged as one of the most preferable strategy. There are diverse ways to consolidate the
banking industry the most commonly adopted by banks is merger.

4.4.2 Structure of Banking Institution in India
During last few decades, the environment under which Indian banking sector has operated
witnessed a remarkable changes. India embarked on a strategy of economic reforms in the
wake of a serious balance of payment crisis in1991. In Indian banking sector, the policy
makers adopted cautious approach for introducing reform measures on the recommendation
of Narishmam Committee I (1991), Narishmam Committee II (1997) and Verma Committee
(1999). The main objective of the banking sector reforms was to improve the efficiency of
banks and to promote a diversified and competitive financial system. One of the outcomes of
such reforms was the consolidation of the banking industry through mergers and
acquisitions. Technological progress and financial deregulation have played an important
role in accelerating the process of merger and acquisition in Indian banking industry. Due to
technological progress, the scale at which financial services and products are produced has
expanded which provide an opportunity for the banks to increase their size and scale of
production. At that, time mergers of banking institutions emerged as an important strategy
for growing the size of banks. Size of the bank plays a significant role to enter the global
financial market.

4.4.3 Merger of Banks in India
Merger can be defined as a mean of unification of two players into single entity. Merger is a
process of combining two business entities under the common ownership. According to
Oxford Dictionary the expression, “Merger means combining two commercial companies
into one.” Bank merger is an event when previously distinct banks are consolidated into one
institution. A merger occurs when an independent bank loses its charter and becomes a part
of an existing bank with one headquarter and a unified branch networ. Mergers occurs by
adding the active (bidder ) banks assets and liabilities to the target (Passive) bank’s balance
sheet and acquiring the bidder ‘s bank name through a series of legal and administrative
measures Mergers and acquisitions in Indian banking sector have initiated through the
recommendations of Narasimham committee II. The committee recommended that merger
between strong banks/ financial institutions would make for greater economic and
commercial sense and would be a case where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
and have a “force multiplier effect”. (Narasimham committee II, chapter, para 5.13 -5.15)

4.4.4.5 Credit Deposit Ratio
The credit deposit ratio reflects the management performance of the banks. It can be seen
after financial liberalization, most of the banks reported higher C-D ratio. The C-D ratio is
the highest in case of the foreign banks and lowest in case of the public sector banks. The
over commercial banking sector witnessed an increase in the credit-deposit ratio. In 1980,
the C-D ratio for all commercial banks was 63.32 percent (Table: 4.24 & Figure: 4.22), and
increased to 73.46 percent in 2007. The investment deposit ratio has also increased, but
marginally, the C-D ratio of public sector banks increase epically after 2005 onwards

4.4.4.6 Asset Quality
The asset quality reflects the structural soundness of the banking sector. The ratio of
contingent liability shows, the foreign banks are more exposed to default, which implies the
foreign banks provide most sophisticated services. It is because most of the foreign banks are
concentrated in urban areas and mostly carter to large clients. The contingent liability to
asset ratio of the total commercial banks shows, it has declined from 25 percent in 1980 to 16
percent in 2007 (Table – 4.24 & Figure 4.22). The foreign banks and the private banks are
exposed to more losses in case of default and the public sector banks are less exposed to
default.

4.4.4.7 Ratio of Investment in Securities to Assets
The ratio of investment in securities to assets indicates that banks invest about 20 to 30
percent in government securities in response to SLR (Table – 4.25 & Figure: 4.23). The
public sector banks have higher percentage of investment in government securities and the
foreign bank’s investment is the lowest. The public sector banks prefer to invest more in the
government securities because; it is more liquid and the safest investment. Even after
financial reforms the PSBs’s investment in government securities has gone up.

4.4.4.9 Profitability
Profitability can be measured with two indicators; Return on Asset (ROA) and the Return on
Equity (ROE). The return on asset is defined as the ratio of net profit to average asset. It can
be seen (Table – 4.27 & Figure: 4.25) that, after financial reforms the banks is more
profitable. The foreign banks are more profitable than the domestic private banks and the
public sector banks. After financial liberalization, the private and the foreign banks recorded
higher rate of return on asset. During the early phase of reforms, the return on asset was
negative. But after that it increased from -0.89 percent in 1994 to 1 percent in 2007.

4.4.4.10 Return on Equity
Return on equity can be taken as proxy to measure profitability. The private banks are more
consistent since 1990’s in terms of the return on equity, where as the foreign banks have
been the most inconsistent. During early 1990’s the return on equity of the foreign banks was
about 132 percent and in 2007 it is about 16 percent (Table – 4.28& Figure: 4.26). The
public sector banks are performing better with 16.14 percent return on equity. On the basis of
study one interesting fact has been found that, in 1993 the return on equity of foreign banks
was suddenly goes down from 68.63% to -61.43%. Apart from this year the ROE of foreign
banks created competition for PSB.

4.4.5 Technical soundness of India banking system after liberalization
As stated in RBI's Annual Monetary and Credit Policy 2002-2003: "To reap the full benefits
of such electronic message transfers, it is necessary that banks bestow sufficient attention on
the computerization and networking of the branches situated at commercially important
centers on a time-bound basis. Intra-city and intra-bank networking would facilitate in
addressing the "last mile" problem which would in turn result in quick and efficient funds
transfers across the country" following are some major initiative for technical advancement
of Indian banking system.
4.4.5.1Implementation of Centralized Funds Management System
� The centralized funds management system (CFMS) provides for a centralized
viewing of balance positions of the account holders across different accounts
maintained at various locations of RBI. While the first phase of the system covering
the centralized funds enquiry system (CFES) has been made available to the users,
the second phase comprising the centralized funds transfer system (CFTS) would be
made available by the middle of 2003. So far, 54 banks have implemented the system
at their treasuries/funds management branches.
4.4.5.2 Certification and Digital Signatures
� The mid-term Review of October 2002 indicated the need for information security on
the network and the use of public key infrastructure (PKI) by banks. The Controller
of Certifying Authorities, Government of India, have approved the Institute for
Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) as a Certification
Authority (CA) for digital signatures. Consequently, the process of setting up of
registration authorities (RA) under the CA has commenced at various banks. In
addition to the negotiated dealing system (NDS), the electronic clearing service
(ECS) and electronic funds transfer (EFT) are also being enhanced in terms of
security by means of implementation of PKI and digital signatures using the facilities
offered by the CA.

4.4.5.3 Committee on Payment Systems
� In order to examine the entire gamut of the process of reforms in payment and
settlement systems which would be culminating with the real time gross settlement
(RTGS) system, a Committee on Payment Systems (Chairman: Dr. R.H. Patil) was
set up in 2002. The Committee, after examining the various aspects relating to
payment and settlement systems, submitted its report in September 2002 along with a
draft Payment Systems Bill. The draft Bill provides, inter alia, a legal basis for
netting, apart from empowering RBI to have regulatory and oversight powers over
payment and settlement systems of the country. The report of the Committee was put
on the RBI website for wider dissemination. The draft Bill has been forwarded to the
Government.
4.4.5.4 Multi-application Smart Cards
� Recognizing the need for technology based payment products and the growing
importance of smart card based payment flows, a pilot project for multi-application
smart cards in conjunction with a few banks and vendors, under the aegis of the
Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India, has
been initiated. The project is aimed at the formulation of standards for multi-
application smart cards on the basis of inter-operable systems and technological
components of the entire system.
4.4.5.5 Special Electronic Funds Transfer
� As indicated in the mid-term Review of October 2002, national EFT (NEFT) is being
introduced using the backbone of the structured financial messaging system (SFMS)
of the IDRBT. NEFT would provide for movement of electronic transfer of funds in a
safe, secure and quick manner across branches of any bank to any other bank through
a central gateway of each bank, with the inter-bank settlement being effected in the
books of account of banks maintained at RBI. Since this scheme requires
connectivity across a large number of branches at many cities, a special EFT (SEFT)
was introduced in April 2003 covering about 3000 branches in 500 cities. This has
facilitated same day transfer of funds across accounts of constituents at all these
branches.

4.4.5.6 National Settlement System (NSS)
� The clearing and settlement activities are dispersed through 1,047 clearing houses
managed by RBI, the State Bank of India and its associates, public sector banks and
other institutions. In order to facilitate banks to have better control over their funds, it
is proposed to introduce national settlement system (NSS) in a phased manner.
4.4.5.7Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS)
� As indicated in the mid-term Review of October 2002, development of the various
software modules for the RTGS system is in progress. The initial set of modules is
expected to be delivered by June 2003 for members to conduct tests and
familiarization exercises. The live run of RTGS is scheduled towards the end of
2003.
4.4.5.8 Reporting of Call/Notice Money Market Transactions on NDS Platform
� Negotiated dealing system (NDS), which has become operational since February
2002, enables on-line dealing and dissemination of trade information relating to
instruments in money, government securities and foreign exchange markets.
Membership in NDS is open to all institutions which are members of INFINET and
are maintaining subsidiary general ledger (SGL) Account with RBI. These include
banks, financial institutions (FIs), primary dealers (PDs), insurance companies,
mutual funds and any other institution as admitted by RBI. At present, all deals in
government securities, call/notice/term money, CDs and CP executed among NDS
members have to be reported automatically through NDS, if the deal is done on NDS
and within 15 minutes of concluding the deal, if done outside NDS. However, it has
been observed that a very sizeable proportion of daily call/notice money market deals
is not reported by members on NDS as stipulated. With a view to improving
transparency and strengthening efficiency in the market, it is proposed that:

4.5 IMPACT LIBERALIZATION IN INDIAN INSURANCE SECTOR
The Insurance sector in India governed by Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance
Corporation Act, 1956 and General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972,
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Act, 1999 and other related Acts.
With such a large population and the untapped market area of this population Insurance
happens to be a very big opportunity in India. Today it stands as a business growing at the
rate of 15-20 per cent annually. Together with banking services, it adds about 7 per cent to
the country’s GDP .In spite of all this growth the statistics of the penetration of the insurance
in the country is very poor. Nearly 80% of Indian populations are without Life insurance
cover and the Health insurance. This is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance
sector is immense in India. It was due to this immense growth that the regulations were
introduced in the insurance sector and in continuation “Malhotra Committee” was
constituted by the government in 1993 to examine the various aspects of the industry. The
key element of the reform process was Participation of overseas insurance companies with
26% capital. Creating a more efficient and competitive financial system suitable for the
requirements of the economy was the main idea behind this reform.
Since then the insurance industry has gone through many sea changes .The competition LIC
started facing from these companies were threatening to the existence of LIC .since the
liberalization of the industry the insurance industry has never looked back and today stand as
the one of the most competitive and exploring industry in India. The entry of the private
players and the increased use of the new distribution are in the limelight today. The use of
new distribution techniques and the IT tools has increased the scope of the industry in the
longer run.
4.5.1Policy Change in the Indian Insurance market
The Insurance Regulatory Development Act, 1999 (IRDA Act) allowed the entry of private
companies in the insurance sector, which was so far the sole prerogative of the public sector
insurance companies. The act was passed to protect the concerns of holders of insurance
policy and also to govern and check the growth of the insurance sector. This new act allowed
the private insurance companies to function in India under the following circumstances:
� The company should be established and registered under the 1956 company Ac
Estelar
159
� The company should only the serve the purpose of life or general insurance or
reinsurance business
� The minimum paid up equity capital for serving the purpose of reinsurance business
has been decreed at Rs 200 crores
� The minimum paid up equity capital for serving the purpose of reinsurance business
has been decreed at Rs 100 crores
� The average holdings of equity shares by a foreign company or its subsidiaries or
nominees should not go above 26% paid up equity capital of the Indian Insurance
company.
4.5.2 Investment policy in the Indian insurance market
� A policy known by the name of 'Health plus Life Combi Product', offering life cover
along with health insurance has been granted permission by the IRDA act and
insurance companies are allowed to provide it now.
� The FDI limit in the insurance sector has been capped at 26% for the foreign
marketeers but the government is thinking to increase it to 49% and a bill of this offer
is pending at the Rajya Sabha
� A low cost pension scheme is supposed to be formed by the Pension Fund Regulatory
and Developmental Authority (PFRDA) on 1st April, 2010 to provide social security
to the the poorer class.
� The compulsory ceding by every General Insurance Corporation (GIC), would go on
to stay at 10% under current regulations as specified by IRDA.
4.5.3 Foreign Companies in Indian Insurance Sector
The insurance sector has also been fast developing with substantial revenue growth in the
non-life and life insurance market. However, despite its enormous population, India only
accounts for 3.4% of the Asia- Pacific general insurance market’s value. The cap on foreign
companies’ equity stakes in insurance joint ventures is 26%, but is expected to rise to 49%.
Following table showing the growth in Indian insurance sector with the collaboration of
foreign insurance companies it is clear that the maximum merger and acquisition in this
sector were after year 2000.

4.5.4 Competition in Indian insurance market
Private and Foreign entrants in the Insurance Industry made others difficult to retain their
market. Higher customer aspirations lead to new expectations and compel him to move
towards the insurer who provides him the best service in time. It becomes less viable for
them even to maintain the functional networks or competitive standards and services. To
survive in the Industry they analyze, the emerging requirements of the policyholders /
insurers and they are in the forefront in providing essential services and introducing novel
products. Thereby they become niche specialists, who provide the right service to the right
person in right time. Table – 4.30

In the above table shows, the private players in the life insurance business have increased
their market share to 23.93 per cent. Among them ICICI prudential is ranked first in
capturing the market followed by Bajaj Allianz and HDFC Standard. In the General
Insurance sector the private players have captured 27.35 per cent. Among them ICICI-
Lombard is ranked first, followed by Bajaj Allianz and IFFCO-Tokio.
The healthy competition in the sector enabled the State owned insurers of our mother country
to reduce its market share to 76.07 per cent and 72.65 percent in life and non-life business
respectively. Moreover, private insurers have planned to increase their market share in the
next five years. The public insurers have to enrich its approach to withhold its share.
4.5.5 Information Technology
� Insurers are the earlier adopters of technology. Because of the Information
revolution, customers are free to choose from a wide range of new and innovative
products. The Insurance companies are utilizing the Information technology
applications for better customer service, cost reduction, new product design and
development and many more.
� New technology gives the policyholders / insured better, wider and faster access to
products and services. The impact of Information Technology in Insurance business
is being felt at an accelerating pace. In the initial years IT was used more to execute
back office functions like maintenance of accounts, reconciling broker accounts,
client processing etc. With the advent of "database concepts", these functions are
better integrated in an administrative efficiency.
� The real evolution is however emerged out of Internet boom. The Internet has
provided brand new distribution channels to the Insurers. The technology has enabled
the Insurer to innovate new products, provide better customer service and deeper and
wider insurance coverage to them. At present, Insurance companies are giving
customers a distinct claim id to track claims on-line, entertaining on-line enrollment,
eligibility review, financial reporting, and billing and electronic fund transfer to its
benefit clan customers.
Estelar
165
4.5.6 Product Innovations
� Insurers are continuously innovating new products based on forward-looking models.
They have developed new products addressing the new challenges in society and
products to address the hazards from new environmental issues. Companies will need
to constantly innovate in terms of product development to meet ever-changing
consumer needs. Understanding the customer better will enable Insurance companies
to design appropriate products, determine price correctly and to increase profitability.
Since a single policy cannot meet all the Insurance objectives, one should have a
portfolio of policies covering all the needs. Product development is made possible by
integrating actuarial, rating, claims and illustration systems. At present, the Life
Insurers are concentrating on the pension schemes and the Non-Life Insurers on
many innovative schemes of various realms and thereby enriching their market share.
Moreover, with increased commoditization of insurance products, brand building is
going to play a vital role.
4.5.7 Distribution Network
� While companies have been successful in product innovation, most of them are still
grapping with right mix of Distribution Channels for capturing maximum market
share to build brand equity, building strong and effective customer relationships and
cost effective customer service. While the traditional channel of tied up advisors or
agents would be the chief distribution channel, insurer should innovate and find new
methods of delivering the products to customers. Corporate agency, brokerage, Banc
assurance, e-insurance, cooperative societies and panchayats are some of the
channels, which can be tapped by the insurers to reach the appropriate market
segments. Now days, the urban masses are tapped with the new techniques provided
by Information Technology through Internet. Rural masses are attracted by the
consultative approach adopted by the Insurers. Moreover, they attract the customers
through telephone and mobile also.

4.5.8 Customer Education and Services
� Insurance is a unique service industry. The key industry drivers are related to life
style issues in terms of perceiving insurance as a savings instrument rather than for
risk cover, need based selling, quality of service and customers awareness.
� In the present competitive scenario, a key differentiator is the professional customer
service in terms of quality of advice on product choice along with policy servicing.
Servicing focus is on enhancing the customer's experience and maximizing his
convenience. This calls the effective CRM system, which eventually creates
sustainable competitive advantage and enables to build long lasting relationship.
4.5.9 Modern marketing approach
� Marketing strategies for insurance in the emerging scenario could be understood in
terms of the following steps:
1. Having done market research and finalizing on segmentation, targeting and
positioning the strategy would focus on the marketing mix namely, Product,
Price, Place and Promotion While determining the implementation
methodology, the four characteristics viz. Intangibility, Inseparability, Perish
ability and Variability gives rise to certain unique requirements that deserve
careful attention while formulating the marketing strategy for insurance. After
implementation, the insurers should concentrate on the effective control that
would enhance their business.
In India Insurance is sold and not bought. The agents / Advisors by using various strategies
sell the product by convincing the customers. Moreover, they push Policies with the highest
premium to pocket a higher commission. The consultative approach to selling is the modern
approach, which helps customers and prospects to buy. A consultant makes calls and sells
just like any other sales person. The difference is in their attitude, their approach and their
commitment.

Conclusion
This chapter concludes that, India has come a long way since 1991 in so far as quantum of
FDI inflow is concerned. But it is still a mere USD 4 billion per year, and seems to have
stagnated at that level. Indeed, FDI inflow in 2002 was just 3.2 percent higher than FDI
inflows in132001. The popular wisdom is that MNCs are discouraged from investing in India
by bureaucratic hurdles and uncertainty about the sincerity of the government(s) about
economic reforms.
This chapter also attempted to evaluate the reforms that have occurred in the Indian banking
sector by focusing on different indicator ratios like credit – deposit ratio, return on
investment ratio ext, there has been significant change in the performance of the banking
sector after the initiation of financial liberalization in India. Being a bank based financial
system; the banking performance has an obvious impact on the economy. Using RBI data
from the’ Statistical Tables Relating to Banks in India’ data base, the study finds there has
been significant transformation in the structure of the banking sector. The relative
importance of the public sector banks has been declining which results in the emergence of
the domestic private sector banks and more foreign banks. The asset, the deposit and the
credit share shows the share of public sector has been declining and the share of the private
banks going up, which implies declining concentration and increasing competition. The
indicators of profitability demonstrate, all bank groups recorded an increase in the rate of
profit and the foreign banks are found to behave more profitable in comparison to the
domestic private banks and the public sector banks. An analysis of the post reform period
shows, the domestic private banks are becoming more efficient.
The Indian stock markets have really come of age there were so many developments in the
last 10 years that make the markets on par with the developed markets. The important feature
of developed markets is the growing clout of institutional investors; foreign institutional
investor’s shows different behaviour for different category of shares.
