CHP 1.2: HISTORY OF ICICI BANK

institution, and was its wholly owned subsidiary. ICICIs shareholding in ICICI
Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in India infiscal 1998. ICICI Bank was formed in1995 at the initiative of the World Bank, the
Government of India and representatives of Indian industry. The principal
objective was to create a development financial institution for providing medium-
term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses.

institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group
offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a
number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the
first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia
to be listed on the NYSE.
After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of
the emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, the management
of ICICI & ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank
would be optimal strategic alternative for both entities and would create the
optimal legal structure for the ICICI groups universal banking strategy.
In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the
merger of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI
Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with
ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank
in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmadabad in March 2002, and
by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April

CHP 2: FUNCTIONS OF COMMERCIAL BANK
Modern Commercial Banks perform a large number of functions and services to
industry and commerce. It is not possible t make an exhaustive list of its functions
and services as they are diverse, varied and ever-expanding. The functions of a
bank are increasing day by day depending upon the environment prevailing in the
country. There cannot be a standard pattern of banking functions that can hold
good for all the countries, or even for the same country at different periods of time.
It is not surprising, therefore that banks in developing countries perform many such
functions as to suit their particular requirements and have branched out into new
areas. Banks in modern times are doing a large number of non-traditional
functions. They have thrown their conservative approach and are doing their best
to help all sectors of the economy by adopting progressive and enlightened
approach.
The functions and services rendered by modern banks can be grouped under the
following heads:
A) Primary Functions.
B) Secondary Functions.

CHP 2.1 A (i): SAVINGS BANK ACCOUNT
Savings Bank Accounts are meant to promote the habit of saving among
the citizens while allowing them to use their funds when required. The mainadvantage of Savings Bank Account is its high liquidity and safety. On top of that
Savings Bank Account earns moderate interest too. The rate of interest is decided
and periodically reviewed by the Government of India. Presently, the rate of
interest is 3.5% compounded half yearly.
DEFINITONInvestopedia explains 'Savings Account'
Because savings accounts almost always pay lower interest rates than Treasury
bills and certificates of deposit, they should not be used for long-term holding
periods. Their main advantages are liquidity and superior rates compared to
checking accounts. Most modern savings accounts offer access to funds through
visits to a local branch, over the internet and through automated teller machines.
Savings accounts are accounts maintained by retail financial institutions that pay
interest but cannot be used directly as money (for example, by writing a cheque).
These accounts let customers set aside a portion of their liquid assets while earning
a monetary return.
ICICI Bank offers a host of products and services to its clients. The various types
of services are as follows:

Tax on Recurring Deposits
First, what I do know for sureRDs are not tax free!
While doing research for this article I came across a few forums where peoplewere asking if interest income from RDs is tax free or not. I dont know what the
origin for the question is but it could be people confusing no TDS with any tax atall.
Banks dont deduct tax at source on RDs but the interest itself is taxable like otherinterest income. It will be added to the rest of your income and taxed at your slab.
This is what I think will happen
If you take a RD for the duration of over a year, say 2 yearsthen you will have tosee how much interest accrues to you in one financial year, and then declare thatinterest as part of your return and pay tax on it.
So, even though you are still paying installments for the RD, and it hasnt matured yet, you will need to declare the income that has accrued to you, and pay tax on it.
Interest rates on Recurring Deposits
I was going through the interest rate page of ICICI Bank, and saw that they give
interest rates of 8.25% on RDs of 12, 15, 18, and 21 months, but they give 9.25%on a 390 day fixed deposit.
A few other bank websites said that they offered RDs at the same interest rate asthe fixed deposit, but I think that means exclusion of special interest rates that
banks give on deposits of 390, 555, 400 day maturities etc., and since these are thematurities that give you the higher interest rate, it looks like the interest on a RDwill be lower than a fixed deposit.
Stopping Recurring Deposits Early
Banks allow you to stop your recurring deposit earlier than the maturity period, butlike fixed deposits, you get a lower interest rate than what you have settled for, andin some cases there is some penalty as well, which is also called a service charge insome banks.

CHP 2.1 A (iii): FIXED DEPOSITS
A Fixed Deposit (also known as FD) is a financial instrument provided by Indian
banks which provides investors with a higher rate of interest than a regular savingsaccount, until the given maturity date . It may or may not require the creation of a
separate account. Some banks may offer additional services to FD holders such as
loans against FD certificates at competent interest rates.
Fixed deposits are a high-interest-yielding Term deposit offered by banks in India.The most popular form of Term deposits are Fixed Deposits, while other forms ofterm Deposits are Recurring Deposit and Fixed Deposits (the latter is actually acombination of Demand deposit and Fixed deposit).
Although banks can refuse to repay FDs before the expiry of the deposit, theygenerally don't. This is known as a premature withdrawal. In such cases, interest is
paid at the rate applicable at the time of withdrawal. For example, a deposit ismade for 5 years at 8 %, but is withdrawn after 2 years. If the rate applicable on thedate of deposit for 2 years is 5 per cent, the interest will be paid at 5 per cent.Banks can charge a penalty for premature withdrawal.
Banks issue a separate receipt for every FD because each deposit is treated as adistinct contract. This receipt is known as the Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR), that
has to be surrendered to the bank at the time of renewal or encashment.
Income tax regulations require that FD maturity proceeds exceeding Rs 20,000 notto be paid in cash. Repayment of such and larger deposits has to be either by " A/c
payee " crossed cheque in the name of the customer or by credit to the saving banka/c or current a/c of the customer.
ICICI BANK FIXED DEPOSITS ACCOUNTS
Fixed Deposits are options which help you grow your money thus creating wealthin a safer and secure way. Corporates can invest their suplus funds in fixeddeposits for a wide range of tenures. The minimum deposit amount is Rs 10,000.

granting loans and advances to worthy borrowers. Apart from playing a vital role
in the development of the economy, banking is a business with a motive to earnprofit. The successful operation in this function forms the main source of income

short term and long term requirements of funds. In recent years, the lending
attitude of banks has undergone a marked change. Now, advances granted by
banks are expected to develop all sectors of the economy.
The strength of a bank is primarily judged by the soundness of its advances. The
advances by banks may be made in any one or more of the following forms:
a) Overdrafts. b) Cash Credit. c) Loans.
CHP 2.1 B (i): OVERDRAFTS
An overdraft occurs when withdrawals from a bank account exceed the
available balance. In this situation a person is said to be "overdrawn".

plan, and the amount overdrawn is within this authorised overdraft limit,
then interest is normally charged at the agreed rate. If the balance exceeds the
agreed terms, then fees may be charged and higher interest rate might apply.
The following are the distinctive features of overdrafts:
i) This facility is given only to current accountholders.
ii) Here a current accountholder is permitted by the banker to draw more than what
stands to his credit.
iii) The banker may take some collateral security or may grant such advance on the
personal security
iv) The customer is permitted to withdraw the amount as and when he needs and to
make deposit in his account as and when it is convenient.

This account is the primary method in which Banks lend money against
the security of commodities and debt. It runs like a current account except that the
money that can be withdrawn from this account is not restricted to the amountdeposited in the account. Instead, the account holder is permitted to withdraw a
certain sum called "limit" or "credit facility" in excess of the amount deposited in
the account. Cash Credits are, in theory, payable on demand. These are, therefore,

customer is permitted to borrow against some security or guarantee.

the amount borrowed.

demand, but in practice they roll over a period of time. It is a seasonal borrowing
renewed from time to time.
vi) This method of borrowing is very popular in India, accounting for about 70 per
cent of the total bank credit. Cash credit facility is regularly granted to commercial
and industrial concern for longer periods.

Chp 2.3 B (iv): BANK DRAFTS
A bank draft is an order from one branch to another branch of the same bank to pay
a specified sum of money to a person named therein or to his order. A draft isalways payable on demand. Banks issue drafts at the request of the customers on
their branches at the place of destination for remitting money from one place to
another place. Any person who wants to remit money has to purchase a draft from
the bank by paying the amount in advance to the bank. The purchaser of the draft
then sends the draft to the payees place of residence by post or courier for the
purpose of encashment at the drawee branch of the bank. The bank issuing the
draft charges some commission depends upon the amount of the draft. The
purchaser need not be a customer of the bank.The bank draft is like a bill of exchange payable on demand. In case the draft is
lost by a purchaser, he has to report to the issuing banker for loss of the draft
without any endorsement, the banker may safely refuse to pay the amount of the
draft. The bank should take all the precautions and payment of the draft should be
made only when the banker is fully satisfied about the valid title of the holder. The
banker should take an indemnity bond and then issue a duplicate draft to the
purchaser. The draft may be cancelled by the bank if it is not delivered to the
payee. When a bank draft is delivered to the payee he acquires a right in theinstrument, which cannot be set aside by the stop-payment order issued by the
purchaser. The bank issuing the draft sends an advice to the drawee branch,
intimating about the issue of the draft. The drawee branch after verifying the
signature of the authorized officials makes the payment. However, the payment of
the draft should not be refused because of non-receipt of drawing advice.

Chp 2.3 B (vi): DEBIT CARD

to cash when making purchases. Functionally, it can be called an electronic check,
as the funds are withdrawn directly from either the bank account or from theremaining balance on the card. In some cases, the cards are designed exclusively
for use on the Internet, and so there is no physical card.
In many countries the use of debit cards has become so widespread that their
volume of use has overtaken or entirely replaced the check and, in some instances,
cash transactions. Like credit cards, debit cards are used widely for telephone and
Internet purchases and, unlike credit cards, the funds are transferred immediately
from the bearer's bank account instead of having the bearer pay back the money at
a later date.
Debit cards may also allow for instant withdrawal of cash, acting as the ATM
card for withdrawing cash and as a check guarantee card. Merchants may also
offer cashback facilities to customers, where a customer can withdraw cash along
with their purchase.

including the dollar store and some thrift shops. You do not need to worry about

your purse or wallet is stolen your money is safe since the perpetrator would need
your PIN number to access your funds.
2. You don't need to make a trip to the bank every time you need to withdrawalmoney. You can use your card just about any where you go, and if you need the
cash you can access your money at an ATM machine any time of day or night.

Chp 2.3 B (x): MOBILE BANKING
Mobile banking also known as M-Banking, SMS Banking is a term used for
performing balance checks, account transactions, payment etc. Over the last fewyears, the mobile and wireless market has been one of the fastest growing markets
in the world and it is still growing at a rapid pace. With mobile technology, banks
can offer services to their customers such as doing funds transfer while travelling,
receiving online updates of stock price or even performing stock trading while
being stuck in traffic.
A specific sequence of SMS messages will enable the system to verify if the clienthas sufficient funds in his or her wallet and authorize a deposit or withdrawal
transaction at the agent.
Many believe that mobile users have just started to fully utilize the data capabilities
in their mobile phones. In Asian countries like India, China, where mobile
infrastructure is comparatively better than the fixed-line infrastructure, and in
European countries, where mobile phone penetration is very high, mobile banking
is likely to appeal even more.
