PREFACE

Objective of the project is to study, understand and analyze various

aspects related to the Investment patterns of Trusts and Societies. The

research is based on the information collected by the help of the

questionnaires filled by various Trusts and Societies visited. The

questionnaire was formulated with the aim of finding about the

preferences of the societies when they go in for the investment of

surpluses generated by them. Due to lack of time the survey was

limited to South Delhi. I visited over 250 Trusts and Societies during

my survey. An attempt was made to judge on the basis of the response

generated, the scope to expand the services of HDFC Ltd. in the area

of Trust Deposit. The survey helped to draw a general trend of the

investment pattern of the Trusts and Societies.

Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

With years, banks are also adding services to their customers. The

Indian banking industry is passing through a phase of customers

market. The customers have more choices in choosing their banks. A

competition has been established within the banks operating in India.

With stiff competition and advancement of technology, the services

provided by banks has become more easy and convenient. The past

month in the south.

FOUNDER OF HDFC

Man with a Mission

An extract from the book 'A Tribute' If ever there was a man with a

mission it was Hasmukhbhai Parekh, our Founder and Chairman-

Emeritus, who left this earthly abode on November

18, 1994.

Born in a traditional banking family in Surat, Gujarat,

Mr. Parekh started his financial career at Harkisandass

Lukhmidass – a leading stock broking firm. The firm

closed down in the late seventies, but, long before

that, he went on to become a towering figure on the

Indian financial scene.

In 1956 he began his lifelong financial affair with the economic world,

as General Manager of the newly-formed Industrial Credit and

Investment Corporation of India (ICICI). He rose to become Chairman

and continued so till his retirement in 1972.

At the ripe age of 60, Hasmukhbhai started his second dynamic life,

even more illustrious than his first. His vision for mortgage finance for

housing, gave birth to the Housing Development Finance Corporation –

it was a trend-setter for housing finance in the whole Asian continent.

He was a true development banker. His building up HDFC without any

government assistance, is itself a brilliant chapter in financial history.

His wisdom and warmth drew people from all walks of life to him, for

advice, guidance and inspiration.

Page 12: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

A soft spoken man of few words, Mr. Parekh nevertheless held strong

and definite views with a quiet conviction. He was always concerned

with building bridges, improving and encouraging communication

between people.

As Henry W. Longfellow said:

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our life sublime,

And, departing leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time.

OVERVIEW

From a modest beginning of Rs 7.1 cores in home loan approvals in its

first year of operations to over Rs. 1,00,000 crores in cumulative home

loan approvals in 28 years, HDFC has come a long way. As an

institution that introduced an unknown concept in the late 1970s, it

has defined and spearheaded many of the changes that have given

shape to the housing industry through the years and has turned the

dream of owning a home into reality for over 2.7 million families across

the country. The journey began as a thought that took shape in the

mind of HDFC’s founder Chairman, Mr. H.T. Parekh, who laid a solid

foundation. This thought grew to become a reality in the form of HDFC

to enable Indian households access housing in their prime earning

Page 13: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

days through institutional finance. At the time of its commencement,

HDFC was the first private sector housing finance institution in India.

Since the early years, it clearly defined the company’s core values -

integrity, transparency and trust, ingraining it throughout the

organization and in all its activities. It focused on a future that it

needed to make, rather than wait for it to happen and went on to

transform the concept of providing retail finance to middle class

families in India into a world class institution. Its success encouraged

the creation of a number of housing finance institutions in India.

HDFC offers a wide range of deposit products, a secure investment

option, with attractive returns. Deposits are accepted from Charitable

Trusts, Religious Trusts, Educational Institutions, Employees' Welfare

Trusts and others as decided by the management.

The primary objective of the project is to study, understand and

analyze various aspects related to the Investment patterns of Trusts

and Societies. The research is based on the information collected by

the help of the questionnaires filled by various Trusts and Societies

visited. The questionnaire was formulated with the aim of finding about

the preferences of the societies when they go in for the investment of

surpluses generated by them. Due to lack of time the survey was

limited to South Delhi. I visited over 250 Trusts and Societies during

my survey. An attempt was made to judge on the basis of the response

Page 14: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

generated, the scope to expand the services of HDFC Ltd. in the area

of Trust Deposit. The survey helped to draw a general trend of the

investment pattern of the Trusts and Societies.

A good majority of the investors questioned were of the view that the

organization they are currently dealing with is financially strong. Mainly

the source of income has been found to be Donations received by the

trusts. The share of other income sources is very low as compared to

Donations. The management of most of the Societies visited accepted

that the funds they are collecting, are meeting the expenses

Page 15: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

satisfactorily. The surplus generated by the society is mostly being

used for making investments. The trustees or the governing body of

the societies play the key role in recommending investments to the

society. The four most important and critical considerations from the

investors point of view found to be are rate of interest, safety, good

service and location of the institution.

Corporate Governance

Page 19: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The concept of corporate governance is entering a phase of global

convergence. The driver behind this is the recognition that companies

need to attract and protect all stakeholders, especially investors – both

domestic and foreign. Global capital seeks its own equilibrium and

naturally flows to where it is best protected and bypasses where

protection is limited or non-existent. Companies stand to gain by

adopting systems that bolster investor trust through transparency,

accountability and fairness.

The tide of regulation has risen to a high watermark and while there is

compelling evidence of financial benefits to companies which adopt

good governance practices, it has often been felt that the ethos of

corporate governance still needs to sink in. Corporate irregularities

continue to plague investors as regulators relentlessly strive to cleanse

the system. Financial scandals often prompt an overhaul of regulation.

But the efficacy of regulation can get negated when compliance

becomes a box-ticking exercise with prohibitive costs. Again, there is

no single model of good corporate governance. Principles, values and

ethics cannot be typecast into a universal one-size-fits-all framework.

‘Spreading the Word: Changing Rules in Asia’, the title of Corporate

Governance Watch 2004, an annual collaborative study of the

corporate governance landscape of Asian markets undertaken by CLSA

Asia Pacific Markets and the Asian Corporate Governance Association

Page 20: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

has concluded that there appears to be a clear correlation between

companies and markets with strong corporate governance and

superior returns over the long term. According to the study, India ranks

among the top three in terms of corporate governance. With

increasingly integrated capital markets, good corporate governance is

of paramount importance for companies seeking to distinguish

themselves in the global economy.

HDFC, within its web of relationships with its borrowers, depositors,

agents, shareholders and other stakeholders has always maintained its

fundamental principles of corporate governance – that of integrity,

transparency and fairness. For HDFC, corporate governance is a

continuous journey, seeking to provide an enabling environment to

harmonise the goals of maximising shareholder value and maintaining

a customer centric focus.

HDFC maintains that efforts to institutionalise corporate governance

practices cannot solely rest upon adherence to a regulatory

framework. HDFC’s corporate governance compass has been its

business practices, its values and personal beliefs, reflected in the

actions of each of its employees.

The Board of Directors fully support and endorse corporate governance

practices as per the provisions of the listing agreements as applicable

from time to time. The Corporation has complied with the said

Page 21: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

provisions and listed below is the Report of the Directors of HDFC on

Corporate Governance

COMPETITION INFORMATION

Indian banks, particularly private banks, are riding high on the retail

business. ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank have witnessed over 70 per cent

year-on-year growth in retail loan assets in the second quarter of 2005-

06. Annual revenues in the domestic retail banking market are

expected to more than double to US$ 16.5 billion by 2010 from about

US$ 6.4 billion at present, says a McKinsey study.

The home loan sector is also on a smooth course. The average loan

size of home finance companies is increasing. HDFC, the second

largest player in the home finance business, has seen average loan

increase from US$ 10,773 in FY04 to US$ 13,467 in FY05, a change of

almost 25 per cent. For ICICI Bank, which is the largest player in the

business, the average ticket size is about US$ 13,467 – US$ 15,711

and has increased by 10-15 per cent over last year.

Foreign banks are working on expanding their bases in the country.

The Ministry of Finance and Reserve Bank of India have agreed to allow

foreign banks to open 20 branches a year as against 12 now. At

present, 40 odd foreign banks have over 225 branches in India. At the

end of 2004-05, the total assets of foreign banks aggregated US$ 30

Page 22: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

billion or 6.9 per cent of the assets of all scheduled commercial banks.

They will also be allowed 74 per cent stake in private banks. After

2009, the local subsidiaries of foreign banks will be treated on par with

domestic banks.

Challenges facing Banking industry in India

The banking industry in India is undergoing a major transformation due

to changes in economic conditions and continuous deregulation. These

multiple changes happening one after other has a ripple effect on a

bank trying to graduate from completely regulated sellers market to

completed deregulated customers market.

Deregulation: This continuous deregulation has made the Banking

market extremely competitive with greater autonomy, operational

flexibility, and decontrolled interest rate and liberalized norms for

foreign exchange. The deregulation of the industry coupled with

decontrol in interest rates has led to entry of a number of players in

the banking industry. At the same time reduced corporate credit off

take thanks to sluggish economy has resulted in large number of

competitors battling for the same pie.

Page 23: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

New rules: As a result, the market place has been redefined with new

rules of the game. Banks are transforming to universal banking, adding

new channels with lucrative pricing and freebees to offer. Natural fall

out of thist. skill building has led to a series of innovative product

offerings catering to various customer segments, specifically retail

credit.

Efficiency: This in turn has made it necessary to look for efficiencies in

the business. Banks need to access low cost funds and simultaneously

improve the efficiency. The banks are facing pricing pressure, squeeze

on spread and have to give thrust on retail assets.

Diffused Customer loyalty: This will definitely impact Customer

preferences, as they are bound to react to the value added offerings.

Customers have become demanding and the loyalties are diffused.

There are multiple choices, the wallet share is reduced per bank with

demand on flexibility and customization. Given the relatively low

switching costs; customer retention calls for customized service and

hassle free, flawless service delivery.

Improving profitability: There is increasing competition and

narrowing of spreads and it is having an impact on the profitability of

banks. The challenge for banks is how to manage with thinning

Page 24: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

margins while at the same time working to improve productivity which

remains low in relation to global standards. This is particularly

important because with dilution in banks’

equity, analysts and shareholders now closely track their performance.

Thus, with falling spreads, rising provision for NPAs and falling interest

rates, greater attention will need to be paid to reducing transaction

costs. This will require tremendous efforts in the area of technology

and for banks to build capabilities to handle much bigger volumes.

Page 25: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

CHAPTER 2

OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY

Objectives

The primary objective is to study, understand and analyze various

aspects related to the Investment patterns of Trusts and Societies.

Methodology

Research Design:

The research is based on the information collected by the help of the

questionnaires filled.

The first three questions aim at the basic introductory information of

the organization and the person being interviewed thus rendering the

follow up work easier. The fourth question is about the financial

standing of an organization, it gives an idea about the financial status

of the society being approached. The fifth question aims at generating

information about the various sources of funds of the societies. The

sixth and seventh questions deal about the financial performance of

the societies. The eighth question is to find out about what a society

does with the surplus amount generated by them. The ninth question

is meant to gather information about the people who are instrumental

in advising and putting to action the investment plans for the society.

The tenth question is about what kind of investments are preferred by

the society, on the basis of the organization or on the basis of the time

period. The eleventh question talks about the institutions in which the

societies make their investments in, say the banks or other institutes.

The twelfth question tries to assess what is it exactly that the societies

Page 27: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

look for, while investing. For example do they prefer a high rate of

interest, or safety, or location, etc..

Thus the research is based only on the basis of the information

gathered with the help of the questionnaires.

Sample design:

The objective is to study the investment pattern of various Trusts and

Societies. For this purpose I obtained a list of all the trusts situated in

Delhi. Due to lack of time I had to focus my study on all the Societies

situated in South Delhi. I made a list of all the trusts situated in the

south and targeted them in order to generate the required information.

Significance

Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century with The

General Bank of India coming into existence in 1786. This was followed

by Bank of Hindustan. Both these banks are now defunct. The oldest

bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India being established

as "The Bank of Calcutta" in Calcutta in June 1806. Couple of decades

later, foreign banks like HSBC and Credit Lyonnais started their

Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time, Calcutta was

the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British

Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and

prospered. The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank

set up in 1865.

Scope of the study

I have focused my study on HDFC Ltd. and based my study primarily

on the investment patterns of various Trusts and Societies situated in

Page 28: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

South Delhi. For this purpose I visited over 250 societies. I interviewed

the person concerned and got the questionnaire filled. Even though I

visited around 250 societies. I was not able to get the required

information from all of them as many of them refused to provide me

with any information giving no reason at all reasons.

Rate of Interest

Page 31: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The rate of interest on variable rate deposit is linked to the Benchmark

Rate and will vary from time to time with the Benchmark Rate.

Benchmark Rate is the rate of interest applicable on HDFC Fixed Rate

deposit product for the corresponding period.

Rate of Interest (ROI) will be reset at the beginning of each interest

period. ROI prevailing on the first day of the interest period will be

applicable for the entire interest period.

For e.g. If a 3-year quarterly deposit is placed on 01/10/04, interest

rate for the period from 01/10/04 to 31/12/04 will be the ROI prevalent

on 01/10/04 for a 3-year Fixed Rate quarterly deposit product.

Similarly, interest rate applicable for the next quarter from 01/01/05 to

31/03/05 will be the ROI prevalent on 01/01/05 for a 3-year Fixed Rate

quarterly deposit product.

CHAPTER 3

COMPETITIVE DISCUSSION

The last decade witnessed the maturity of India's financial markets.

Since 1991, every governments of India took major steps in reforming

the financial sector of the country. The important achievements in the

following fields is discussed under serparate heads:

Financial markets

Regulators

The banking system

Non-banking finance companies

The capital market

Mutual funds

Overall approach to reforms

Deregulation of banking system

Capital market developments

Consolidation imperative

Page 35: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Now let us discuss each segment seperately.

Financial Markets

In the last decade, Private Sector Institutions played an important role.

They grew rapidly in commercial banking and asset management

business. With the openings in the insurance sector for these

institutions, they started making debt in the market.

Competition among financial intermediaries gradually helped the

interest rates to decline. Deregulation added to it. The real interest

rate was maintained. The borrowers did not pay high price while

depositors had incentives to save. It was something between the

nominal rate of interest and the expected rate of inflation.

Regulators

The Finance Ministry continuously formulated major policies in the field

of financial sector of the country. The Government accepted the

important role of regulators. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has

become more independant. Securities and Exchange Board of India

(SEBI) and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA)

became important institutions. Opinions are also there that there

Page 36: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

should be a super-regulator for the financial services sector instead of

multiplicity of regulators.

The Banking System

Almost 80% of the business are still controlled by Public Sector Banks

(PSBs). PSBs are still dominating the commercial banking system.

Shares of the leading PSBs are already listed on the stock exchanges.

The RBI has given licences to new private sector banks as part of the

liberalisation process. The RBI has also been granting licences to

industrial houses. Many banks are successfully running in the retail and

consumer segments but are yet to deliver services to industrial

finance, retail trade, small business and agricultural finance.

The PSBs will play an important role in the industry due to its number

of branches and foreign banks facing the constrait of limited number of

branches. Hence, in order to achieve an efficient banking system, the

onus is on the Government to encourage the PSBs to be run on

professional lines.

Development Finance Institutions

Page 37: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

FIs's access to SLR funds reduced. Now they have to approach the

capital market for debt and equity funds.

Convertibility clause no longer obligatory for assistance to corporates

sanctioned by term-lending institutions.

Capital adequacy norms extended to financial institutions.

DFIs such as IDBI and ICICI have entered other segments of financial

services such as commercial banking, asset management and

insurance through separate ventures. The move to universal banking

has started.

Non-Banking Finance Companies

In the case of new NBFCs seeking registration with the RBI, the

requirement of minimum net owned funds, has been raised to Rs.2

crores.

Until recently, the money market in India was narrow and

circumscribed by tight regulations over interest rates and participants.

The secondary market was underdeveloped and lacked liquidity.

Several measures have been initiated and include new money market

instruments, strengthening of existing instruments and setting up of

the Discount and Finance House of India (DFHI).

Page 38: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The RBI conducts its sales of dated securities and treasury bills through

its open market operations (OMO) window. Primary dealers bid for

these securities and also trade in them. The DFHI is the principal

agency for developing a secondary market for money market

instruments and Government of India treasury bills. The RBI has

introduced a liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) in which liquidity is

injected through reverse repo auctions and liquidity is sucked out

through repo auctions.

On account of the substantial issue of government debt, the gilt- edged

market occupies an important position in the financial set- up. The

Securities Trading Corporation of India (STCI), which started operations

in June 1994 has a mandate to develop the secondary market in

government securities.

Long-term debt market: The development of a long-term debt market

is crucial to the financing of infrastructure. After bringing some order to

the equity market, the SEBI has now decided to concentrate on the

development of the debt market. Stamp duty is being withdrawn at the

time of dematerialisation of debt instruments in order to encourage

paperless trading.

The Capital Market

Page 39: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The number of shareholders in India is estimated at 25 million.

However, only an estimated two lakh persons actively trade in stocks.

There has been a dramatic improvement in the country's stock market

trading infrastructure during the last few years. Expectations are that

India will be an attractive emerging market with tremendous potential.

Unfortunately, during recent times the stock markets have been

constrained by some unsavoury developments, which has led to retail

investors deserting the stock markets.

Mutual Funds

The mutual funds industry is now regulated under the SEBI (Mutual

Funds) Regulations, 1996 and amendments thereto. With the issuance

of SEBI guidelines, the industry had a framework for the establishment

of many more players, both Indian and foreign players. The Unit Trust

of India remains easily the biggest mutual fund controlling a corpus of

nearly Rs.70,000 crores, but its share is going down. The biggest shock

to the mutual fund industry during recent times was the insecurity

generated in the minds of investors regarding the US 64 scheme. With

the growth in the securities markets and tax advantages granted for

investment in mutual fund units, mutual funds started becoming

popular.

Page 40: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The foreign owned AMCs are the ones which are now setting the pace

for the industry. They are introducing new products, setting new

standards of customer service, improving disclosure standards and

experimenting with new types of distribution.

The insurance industry is the latest to be thrown open to competition

from the private sector including foreign players. Foreign companies

can only enter joint ventures with Indian companies, with participation

restricted to 26 per cent of equity. It is too early to conclude whether

the erstwhile public sector monopolies will successfully be able to face

up to the competition posed by the new players, but it can be expected

that the customer will gain from improved service.

The new players will need to bring in innovative products as well as

fresh ideas on marketing and distribution, in order to improve the low

per capita insurance coverage. Good regulation will, of course, be

essential.

Overall Approach To Reforms

The last ten years have seen major improvements in the working of

various financial market participants. The government and the

regulatory authorities have followed a step-by-step approach, not a big

bang one. The entry of foreign players has assisted in the introduction

of international practices and systems. Technology developments have

improved customer service. Some gaps however remain (for example:

Page 41: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

lack of an inter-bank interest rate benchmark, an active corporate debt

market and a developed derivatives market). On the whole, the

cumulative effect of the developments since 1991 has been quite

encouraging. An indication of the strength of the reformed Indian

financial system can be seen from the way India was not affected by

the Southeast Asian crisis.

However, financial liberalisation alone will not ensure stable economic

growth. Some tough decisions still need to be taken. Without fiscal

control, financial stability cannot be ensured. The fate of the Fiscal

Responsibility Bill remains unknown and high fiscal deficits continue. In

the case of financial institutions, the political and legal structures hve

to ensure that borrowers repay on time the loans they have taken. The

phenomenon of rich industrialists and bankrupt companies continues.

Further, frauds cannot be totally prevented, even with the best of

regulation. However, punishment has to follow crime, which is often

not the case in India.

Deregulation Of Banking System

Prudential norms were introduced for income recognition, asset

classification, provisioning for delinquent loans and for capital

adequacy. In order to reach the stipulated capital adequacy norms,

substantial capital were provided by the Government to PSBs.

Page 42: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Government pre-emption of banks' resources through statutory

liquidity ratio (SLR) and cash reserve ratio (CRR) brought down in

steps. Interest rates on the deposits and lending sides almost entirely

were deregulated.

New private sector banks allowed to promote and encourage

competition. PSBs were encouraged to approach the public for raising

resources. Recovery of debts due to banks and the Financial

Institutions Act, 1993 was passed, and special recovery tribunals set

up to facilitate quicker recovery of loan arrears.

Bank lending norms liberalised and a loan system to ensure better

control over credit introduced. Banks asked to set up asset liability

management (ALM) systems. RBI guidelines issued for risk

management systems in banks encompassing credit, market and

operational risks.

A credit information bureau being established to identify bad risks.

Derivative products such as forward rate agreements (FRAs) and

interest rate swaps (IRSs) introduced.

Capital Market Developments

Page 43: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The Capital Issues (Control) Act, 1947, repealed, office of the Controller

of Capital Issues were abolished and the initial share pricing were

decontrolled. SEBI, the capital market regulator was established in

1992.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were allowed to invest in Indian

capital markets after registration with the SEBI. Indian companies were

permitted to access international capital markets through euro issues.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE), with nationwide stock trading and

electronic display, clearing and settlement facilities was established.

Several local stock exchanges changed over from floor based trading

to screen based trading

Private Mutual Funds Permitted

The Depositories Act had given a legal framework for the

establishment of depositories to record ownership deals in book entry

form. Dematerialisation of stocks encouraged paperless trading.

Companies were required to disclose all material facts and specific risk

factors associated with their projects while making public issues.

To reduce the cost of issue, underwriting by the issuer were made

optional, subject to conditions. The practice of making preferential

allotment of shares at prices unrelated to the prevailing market prices

stopped and fresh guidelines were issued by SEBI.

Page 44: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

SEBI reconstituted governing boards of the stock exchanges,

introduced capital adequacy norms for brokers, and made rules for

making client or broker relationship more transparent which included

separation of client and broker accounts.

Buy Back Of Shares Allowed

The SEBI started insisting on greater corporate disclosures. Steps were

taken to improve corporate governance based on the report of a

committee.

SEBI issued detailed employee stock option scheme and employee

stock purchase scheme for listed companies.

Standard denomination for equity shares of Rs. 10 and Rs. 100 were

abolished. Companies given the freedom to issue dematerialised

shares in any denomination.

Derivatives trading starts with index options and futures. A system of

rolling settlements introduced. SEBI empowered to register and

regulate venture capital funds.

The SEBI (Credit Rating Agencies) Regulations, 1999 issued for

regulating new credit rating agencies as well as introducing a code of

conduct for all credit rating agencies operating in India.

Consolidation Imperative

Page 45: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Another aspect of the financial sector reforms in India is the

consolidation of existing institutions which is especially applicable to

the commercial banks. In India the banks are in huge quantity. First,

there is no need for 27 PSBs with branches all over India. A number of

them can be merged. The merger of Punjab National Bank and New

Bank of India was a difficult one, but the situation is different now. No

one expected so many employees to take voluntary retirement from

PSBs, which at one time were much sought after jobs. Private sector

banks will be self consolidated while co-operative and rural banks will

be encouraged for consolidation, and anyway play only a niche role.

In the case of insurance, the Life Insurance Corporation of India is a

behemoth, while the four public sector general insurance companies

will probably move towards consolidation with a bit of nudging. The UTI

is yet again a big institution, even though facing difficult times, and

most other public sector players are already exiting the mutual fund

business. There are a number of small mutual fund players in the

private sector, but the business being comparatively new for the

private players, it will take some time.

We finally come to convergence in the financial sector, the new

buzzword internationally. Hi-tech and the need to meet increasing

consumer needs is encouraging convergence, even though it has not

always been a success till date. In India organisations such as IDBI,

ICICI, HDFC and SBI are already trying to offer various services to the

Page 46: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

customer under one umbrella. This phenomenon is expected to grow

rapidly in the coming years. Where mergers may not be possible,

alliances between organisations may be effective. Various forms of

bancassurance are being introduced, with the RBI having already come

out with detailed guidelines for entry of banks into insurance. The LIC

has bought into Corporation Bank in order to spread its insurance

distribution network. Both banks and insurance companies have

started entering the asset management business, as there is a great

deal of synergy among these businesses. The pensions market is

expected to open up fresh opportunities for insurance companies and

mutual funds.

It is not possible to play the role of the Oracle of Delphi when a vast

nation like India is involved. However, a few trends are evident, and

the coming decade should be as interesting as the last one.

Chapter 4

DATA ANALYSIS

The survey helped to draw a general trend of the investment pattern of

the various Trusts and Societies

Question no. 1 to 3

The first three questions being self explanatory do not need to be

elaborated upon. They aim at the basic introductory information of the

organization and the person being interviewed thus rendering the

follow up work easier.

Question no. 4

The financial standing of an organization is instrumental in the

advisory council deciding upon the investments to be opted for.

Further the future decisions regarding the use of the funds generated

and important all the more, the decisions relating to the fund raising

procedure of the society are reviewed in wake of the correct position of

the finances of the society. Hence the forth question which helps to

give an idea about the financial status of the society being

approached, thus enabling the organization to market the appropriate

scheme.

Page 49: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Quantitative Analysis

From the responses generated the following results were draw:

The societies lying under the category of:

Very strong 14%

Strong 55%

Moderately strong 31%

Conclusion

A good majority of the investors questioned were of the view that the

organization they are currently dealing with is financially strong.

Question no. 5

Page 50: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The financial position of the society depends a lot on its ability to

successfully raise funds for its working. Also a regular and steady

source of funds enables the society to successfully manage the

expenses and earn a decent amount of surplus that can be

apportioned in many ways, one of those ways definitely being

investing into some profitable and safe deposit schemes, which forms

the base of the survey conducted. Therefore the fifth question aims at

generating information about the various sources of funds of the

societies approached.

Quantitative Analysis

From the responses generated the following results were drawn:Donations 75%Income from the institutions 4%Aid 8%Others 13%

Conclusion

Mainly the source of income has been found to be Donations received

by the trusts. The share of other income sources is very low as

compared to Donations.

Question no. 6

The funds earned by the society need to be consistent and should be

able to meet the expenses of the society satisfactorily. The fact

Page 51: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

whether the society is able to meet the expenses by the funds raised

by them, easily or not, points in the direction of the sound or not so

sound position of the society. Thus giving an idea about the surplus or

the deficit being earned by the society. Hence the sixth question

enables us to judge which societies to approach while targeting a

particular scheme.

Quantitative Analysis

From the responses generated the following results were drawn:

Yes 80%

No 20%

Conclusion

The management of most of the Societies visited accepted that the

funds they are collecting, are meeting the expenses satisfactorily.

Question no. 7

The financial consistency of the society is the indicator of the growth of

the society. The change in the consistency in any direction, requires

Page 52: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

the reviewing of the financial policies of the society. The more

consistent the society over the longer period, the stronger the financial

position of the society. Consistency gives a solid base to the financial

working of the society. Hence consistency is the criteria for judgement

and has been incorporated in the questionnaire in the form of seventh

question. It was observed that the officials did not give a straight

forward answer to this question, most of them preferring not to answer

the question.

The second part in the question which aimed at finding about any

significant happenings in the working of the society, good or bad, for

such happening affects the working and the financial position of the

society. The general response to this question was “nothing in

particular”, with a couple of responses bringing out the good aspects of

the changes brought about by certain happenings. It was observed

that the officials did not come out with the information about any

adverse happening.

Question no. 8

What the societies do with the excess funds is of utmost importance to

both the society and the companies that aim to market their schemes

to these societies. The amount of excess funds that remain with these

societies determines the uses to which it is put. These could be

towards the development of the society or for expansion purposes or

for investment purposes. Therefore this question has been included to

enable the attainment of further information on the investment pattern

of the surveyed societies which would form the base for deciding upon

the marketing of the offered investment schemes to these societies.

Quantitative Analysis

The results obtained were in the following fashion:

Page 53: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

The surplus is mainly used for the following purposes:

Development 8%

Expansion 19%

Investment 73%

Conclusion

The surplus generated by the society is mostly being used for making

investments.

A very small percentage of the societies are using these funds for the

expansion activities or developmental activities. It was seen that none

of the societies funded to the parent institution

The main reason cited for this attitude may be that these societies rely

heavily on the interest accrued out of these deposits. In other terms it

is there main source of income.

Question no. 9

The ninth question is meant to gather information about people who

are instrumental in advising and putting to action the investment plans

for the society. These could be people belonging to the accounts and

finance department, the trustees or the governing body, auditors,

chartered accountants, etc.

Page 54: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Quantitative Analysis

From the responses generated the following results were drawn:

Accounts and finance department 11%

Chartered accountants/consultants 6%

Auditors 7%

Trustees or Governing bodies 76%

Conclusion

The trustees or the governing body of the societies play the key role in

recommending investments to the society.

Question no. 11

This question aims at gathering information about where these

societies like to invest their surplus money. It tries to find out if

investments are made only in banks or they are made in other

organizations as well. Incase they prefer only the banks then what is

the reason behind it.

Incase the answer turned out to be negative, then the next part tries to

bring out specific preferences of these societies apart from banks.

Page 55: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Quantitative Analysis

The results obtained from the first part of the question are:

Yes 88%

No 12%

Conclusion

A very large majority of the societies believe in investing their surplus

in banks, as they feel that the investments made with the banks are

safe and secure and yield a high rate of interest.

Results from the second part are:

PSU’s 22%

Financial institutions 40%

UTI 11%

Housing Finance Institutions 16%

Non Banking Finance Companies 11%

Page 56: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Conclusion

It is a case with those societies who don’t invest in the banks.

In such cases the second most favoured option is the various financial

institutions.

Question no. 10

Each organization or society has its own preferences for investing its

excess funds. These preferences and consequent decisions could be

guided by certain rules and regulations laid down by the department

with which they are registered, along with their own reasons which

would justify their investment decisions as being in the best interest of

the society. The first part of the question deals with the choices of

Page 57: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

these societies with regards to the decision for investing in public or

private sector.

Quantitative Analysis

The results showed the following:

Public sector 80%

Private sector 20%

Conclusions

A huge majority of the respondents agreed to have made/ willing to

make investments in a public sector organisation.

The next part of the question deals with the preferences of the society

to invest in various deposit schemes differentiated from each other on

the basis of the time period.

Quantitative Analysis

The results showed the following:

Long term 32%

Medium term 52%

Short term 32%

Page 58: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Conclusions

Almost half of the responses were in the favour of medium range

investments. And approximately one third of the respondents were in

the favour of either short range or long range investments.

Question no.12

There are various dimensions which are thoroughly scrutinized before

the investment decisions are implemented. Hence the twelfth question

tries to assess what is it exactly that the trusts look for, while

investing. For example do they prefer a high rate of interest, or better

service, or safety, etc.. these are the aspects which are dealt in the

last question.

Quantitative Analysis

Page 59: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

From the responses generated the following results were drawn:

Rate of interest 95%

Flexibility of Withdrawal 50%

Minimum Period of Deposit 50%

Minimum Amount for Deposit 50%

Safety Ratings 90%

Good Service 80%

Location of the Institution 70%

Conclusions

The four most important and critical considerations from the investors

point of view found to be are:

Page 60: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

1. Rate of interest

2. Safety

3. Good service

4. Location of the institution

Page 61: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

Chapter 5

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The trusts can participate in fixed deposits of only those institutions

which have the “Trustee Security and Benefit Status” under Sec. 11(5)

(ix)). Due to this legal compulsion the options with the trusts to invest

in the fixed deposits gets restricted. All the more, the trusts usually

have very large amounts and placing these deposits with small and not

very reliable companies is not advisable because of safety reasons.

HDFC enjoys a reputation of never having defaulted in its interest

payments or refund of deposits. With ‘FAAA’ & ‘MAAA’ rating affirmed

to the corporation for 11 consecutive years by CRISIL & ICRA

respectively. HDFC holds the ‘Numero Uno’ position. As was said

earlier with the people considering banks to be the safest options for

deposits all that HDFC needs to do is to bank upon its unquestionable

strength.

An awareness needs to be created amongst the masses about the

importance of “Credit Ratings” and what it actually means to earn such

credible ratings as ‘FAAA’ & ‘MAAA’ for 11 consecutive years which has

been a significant achievement of HDFC over the years.

The additional questions that formed a part of the post interview

discussion brought into light the fact that the people come to know

about the various schemes offered by the financial institutions through

Page 62: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

the newspapers, magazines and journals. With the response available,

it was seen that HDFC needs to strengthen upon the reach of its

advertisements.

A lot of stress has been laid on spreading the information regarding the

fixed deposits schemes in the report. In this context HDFC is

constrained because it can advertise only in a statutory format

approved by the NHB. But advertising is absolutely essential and the

corporation must advertise within the framework prescribed by the

NHB.

To conclude, it can be said that the biggest asset of HDFC is its

goodwill and the corporation must exploit this goodwill to the

maximum possible extent to increase the participation of the general

public at large and the trust sin particular in its fixed deposits

schemes.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The following are the points of consideration :-

It is required that the depositor trust and the potential depositor trust

be sent a comparative interest rate table showing the rate of interest

being offered by the various housing finance companies and other

such institutions.

It is so because when HDFC cuts interest rates the media publicizes it

widely, while when other housing finance companies do the same it

Page 63: Jims Hdfc Marketing Final

goes unnoticed. This has given an impression to the trusts that HDFC is

paying lower rate of interest.

The fact that people consider banks to be more safe than any other

institution and safety being the most preferred criteria for their

selection of investment schemes, HDFC Ltd can bank upon advertising

in a manner that emphasizes the company’s advantage in this aspect.

The role of advertising has been very limited in collecting deposits.

This needs to change, for more advertising brings more deposits.

The deposit schemes can be advertised to the trusts by post. A

brochure giving details of the deposit schemes can be sent to the

trusts who have not been participating in the deposit scheme of HDFC.

It is known that HDFC is at a disadvantage as are other housing finance

companies when it comes to advertising due to the restriction by the

NHB. But still the deposits schemes must be advertised within the

framework laid down by the NHB.

Most people known HDFC as a lending institution and do not know that

HDFC also accepts deposits. This fact makes it very important to

advertise vigorously, the deposit schemes of the corporation.

To increase the goodwill of the corporation further in the minds of the

depositors. HDFC should send greetings to its depositors on such

occasions as festivals. Small New Year gifts such as cards, calendars,

diaries, etc can also be sent to the depositors who place a somewhat

large deposit with the corporation.
