    Executive summary

    The term 'profit' is an accounting concept which shows the excess of income over

    expenditure viewed during a specified period of time. Profit is the main reason for

    the continued existence of every commercial organization. On the other hand, the

    term profitability is a relative measure where profit is expressed as a ratio,

    generally expressed as a percentage. Profitability depicts the relationship of the

    absolute amount of profit with various other factors. Profitability is the most

    important and reliable indicator as it gives a broad indicator of the ability of a bank

    to raise its income level. Profitability of banks is affected by a number of factors.

    Some of these are endogenous, some are exogenous.

    Changes in policies made by RBI are exogenous to the system. These include

    changes in monetary policy, changes in quantitative credit control like changes incash reserve ratio(CRR), statutory liquidity ratio(SLR), changes in bank rates,

    qualitative credit controls like selective credit control measures, credit deposit

    ratio, region-wise guidelines on lending to priority sector, changes in interest rates

    on deposits and advances, levy of tax on interest income etc. Various other factors

    like careful control of expenditure, timely recovery of loans are endogenous.

    In practice executives define profits in banks as the difference between total

    earnings from all earning assets and total expenditure on managing the entire asset

    & liabilities portfolio. In case of banks, the main source of income is interest

    earned and discount on bills discounted. Since banks accept various types of

    deposits from people so interest paid to customer is an important expenditure of the

    banks. The difference between interest earned and interest paid is known as spread

    and is a good indicator of bank's efficiency. Establishment expenses covering

    salaries, provident fund, allowances, and bonus and so on, form another important

    component of expenditure.

    Profit is the very reason for the continued existence of any commercial

    organization. The rate of profitability and volume of profits are therefore rightfully

    considered as indicators of efficiency in the deployment of resources of banks.

    This Project aims at Analysis of Tilaknagar Branch Profitability by reading the

    Balance sheet and Profit & Loss Account for the financial year 2011-12(FY12) and

    comparing the same with the previous Fiscal year 2010-11(FY11) to interpret the

    trend.

    Introduction / Background

    Concept of profitability

    Profitability means ability to make profit from all the business activities of an

    Organization, Company, Firm, or an Enterprise. It shows how efficiently the

    management can make profit by using all the resources available in the market.

    Profitability is the the ability of a given investment to earn a return from its use.

    Profitability is an important yardstick for measuring the efficiency, the extent of

    profitability cannot be taken as a final proof of efficiency. Sometimes satisfactory

    profits can mark inefficiency and conversely, a proper degree of efficiency can be

    accompanied by an absence of profit. The net profit figure simply reveals a

    satisfactory balance between the values receive and value given. The change in

    operational efficiency is merely one of the factors on which profitability of an

    enterprise largely depends. Moreover, there are many other factors besides

    efficiency, which affect the profitability.

    Profit & Profitability

    Sometimes, the terms Profit and Profitability are used interchangeably. But in

    real sense, there is a difference between the two. Profit is an absolute term,

    whereas, the profitability is a relative concept. However, they are closely related

    and mutually interdependent, having distinct roles in business. Profit refers to thetotal income earned by the enterprise during the specified period of time, while

    profitability refers to the operating efficiency of the enterprise. It is the ability of

    the enterprise to make profit on sales. It is the ability of enterprise to get sufficient

    return on the capital and employees used in the business operation.

    Related theory / literature

    Profitability analysis is a component of enterprise resource planning (ERP) that

    allows administrators to forecast the profitability of a proposal or optimize the

    profitability of an existing project. Profitability analysis can anticipate sales and

    profit potential specific to aspects of the market such as customer age groups,

    geographic regions, or product types.

    Profitability analysis can help key personnel in an enterprise to:

    Identify the most and least profitable products or services. Discover which sources of information offer the most reliable facts. Optimize responses to changing customer needs. Evolve the product mix to maximize profits in the medium and long term. Isolate and remedy the causes of decreasing profit margins.

    Profitability Ratio which helps in Statistical Analysis of Profitability

    1. Credit Deposit Ratio

    2. Return on Asset Ratio

    3. Operating Profit to Total Asset Ratio

    4. Spread to Total Asset Ratio

    5. Interest Income to Total Income Ratio

    6. Interest Expenditure to Total Expenditure Ratio

    1. Credit Deposit Ratio: It is the ratio of how much a bank lends out of the

    deposits it has mobilized. It indicates how much of a bank's core funds are being

    used for lending, the main banking activity. A higher ratio indicates more reliance

    on deposits for lending and vice-versa.

    Credit Deposit Ratio = Net Loans / Total Deposits

    2. Return on Asset Ratio: This ratio indicates how profitable a company is

    relative to its total assets. The return on assets (ROA) ratio illustrates how well

    management is employing the company's total assets to make a profit. The higher

    the return, the more efficient management is in utilizing its asset base. The ROA

    ratio is calculated by comparing net income to average total assets, and is

    expressed as a percentage.

    Formula:

    Return on Assets = Net Income / Average Total Assets

    3. Operating profit to Total Asset Ratio: It is a measure of income that tells

    investor how much of revenue will eventually become profit for a branch. The

    higher the operating profit, the more profitable a branch business is.

    Operating profit = Revenue Total expenditure

    4. Spread to total asset Ratio: The difference between interest earned and interest

    paid is known as spread and is a good indicator of bank's efficiency. Spread on Total

    Assets is defined as the Net Interest Income Divided by Total Assets.

    5. Interest income: Interest income is earned on Advances

    6. Interest Expenditure: Interest paid on Deposits

    Findings

    Cost of deposits increased from Mar 11 to Mar 12 because of increase inROI over the time deposits.

    Average return on advances increased, Because High yielding advancesincreased in the FY 12

    The branch has to concentrate on non interesting income by promoting thirdparty products and non fund based products.

    Operating expenses reduced from the FY 2011 to FY 2012 therefore branchhas good control over on operating expenses

    Staff expenses Decreased from FY 2011 to FY 2012, because the arrearspaid to the staff during the year 10-11 .it has been taken into P & L account

    for the year 10-11 hence there is increase in staff expenses .Staff expenses

    normalized in the FY 2012.

    Suggestions:

    Since the branch is located in prime residential area there is scope for gettingmore CASA deposits .Branch needs to concentrate more on CASA, Current

    Deposits in particular.

    Branch can canvass for new savings, Current and Salary Accounts, therebyincreasing customer base which may turn into huge CASA deposit in future.

    Increase yield on advances by increasing qualitative credit portfolio andreduction in NPA, arresting fresh slippage.

    Maximize fee based income

    Concentrate on recovery in NPA accounts. Control slippage of loan accounts by regular monitoring. Periodical reviews

    should be done.

    Prevent the revenue expenses by reducing other expenses Increase the sales of Third party products by cross selling Motivate the customers towards usage of alternate delivery channels which

    results in reduction in cost of transaction, thereby we can reduce back office

    staff and deploy them in front office.

    Minimizing the capital expenses and revenue In connection with compromise settlement, sacrifice amount should be least

    possible.

    Recommendations

    Targeting HNI Customers

    The HNI customers / Top 50 Customers of the branch should be identified & we

    can give advisory services to their financial management.

    We can sell our Baroda Life Insurance plans, Baroda Pioneer Mutual Funds, Gold

    coin sales, Acquiring more Fixed Deposits, Recurring Deposits from them.

    Wealthier customers should be invited to the branch and high quality Financial

    Advisory Services should be provided.

    Target High Business Shops

    In Tilaknagar, there is good scope for Retail lending as well as lending to small

    Business Units like Branded Textile Showroom, Restaurants, Shopping malls etc.

    are popping up gradually. If we can attract those high business shops to have

    account (current) with us, then the business of the branch will be increased which

    in turn increases the profitability.

    Prudent Banker

    Most important Strategy to improve the business of the branch.

    Each and Every employee has to monitor the transactions very carefully as we

    deal with our customers money. They should monitor each and every account

    carefully & if they feel the account may slip to NPA category, from the initial

    stage itself necessary preventive & recovery measures have to be taken.

    Customer Delight

    This can be achieved by providing excellent customer service & creating

    innovative products for the benefit of the customers. Through customer

    cooperation only we can achieve any target in our bank.

    Recognizing our good borrowers

    Recognizing our good borrowers and rewarding their loyalty by offeringconcessional rates of interest, better operational flexibility in the operation of their

    accounts.

    Development Areas

    As CASA deposit level is relatively low (32%) more focused efforts needed to be

    put in to strengthen the CASA portfolio.

    There is a need to inculcate competitive spirit in staff members to promote

    business as a bank situated in most banked area where competition to canvass

    business relatively on the higher side.

    Customer referrals

    Referral marketing should be done in the branch because it takes word of mouth

    from the spontaneous situation to one where maximum referrals are generated

    Segment Customers

    We have to segment our customers into the mass market and more affluent or

    wealthy individuals. Focus on providing efficient, streamlined services for the

    mass market. Focus individual time on building relationships with affluent

    customers. All the services of the bank should be clearly communicated to the

    customers.

    Good Location & Clean Environment

    The Branch should give a pleasant and comfortable ambience to the customers and

    they should feel the comfortable to visit and get their business done at our branch

    again and again. This paves the way to build the Customer Relationship with our

    bank and therefore whatever we want to achieve in terms of profit, we can achieve.

    Conclusion

    The economic outlook for FY13 is quite mixed. The risks from weak global

    outlook, volatile inflation and investment slowdown remain on the downside.

    However, our Banks capital strength, adequate liquidity reserves and well

    diversified balance sheet & sources of earnings has made it more stable and

    stronger.

    During FY13, our Bank will continue to expand its market share in both depositsand advances by exploiting its geographic & strategic advantages and capital

    strength. As in the past, our Bank will focus on maintaining a high growth in

    domestic CASA deposits. Our Bank will leave no stone unturned in maintaining its

    asset quality in terms of low NPA ratios.

    With reference to Tilaknagar branch, we can infer that the banks policies and

    plans to increase business and profit are implemented at the branch level.

    Today, the major differentiator amongst the banking service providers is thequality of customer service which the branch is maintaining at high standards at

    all times. Tilaknagar branchs well sustained good performance has enabled it to

    face the future with confidence and commitment. The varied interests and

    expectations of customers have to be taken care of by further improving upon the

    delivery of services which if most essential to retain and increase profits and

    thereby profitability.

    I would specially like to thank my mentor and all staff members of Tilaknagar

    branch, as they provided me full support, encouragement and acted as a backbonefor this project.
