SEVERAL FACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOWER VALUATIONS OF PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS

1. Lower asset quality – Gross NPA levels of PSU banks at 2.7%, compared to 1.9%
for new private banks and 1.8% for foreign banks

2. Slower growth – CAGR in balance sheet for private banks over 2003-07 is 35%,
more than double that of PSU banks at 16%

3. Lower productivity – Profit per branch for PSUs is only Rs 0.5 crores compared to
Rs 2.5 crores for private banks. Profit per employee is also much lower at Rs 2.6 lakhs vs Rs 7.6 lakhs for the private sector

4. Different customer profile – Foreign and private banks share of younger customers
is over 60% PSU banks have only 32% customers under the age of 40. Private sector banks also have a much higher share of the more profitable mass affluent segment

5. Losing share in fee based wholesale and retail banking products – ECM, M&A,
Institutional equities, transaction banking and cross- sell of investment products, and insurance

PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS HAVE NOT EVOLVED ON SEVERAL DIMENSIONS OF THE BUSINESS MODEL IN RETAIL
Key dimensions of business model Superior customer service Proactive sales

ILLUSTRATIVE

Public sector banks

• Customer service levels and TATs below market practices

• Focused on catching customers as they walk into the branch • A few public sector banks (e.g., Bank of Baroda, SBI) have
recently started proactive sales, but their numbers are lower than competition

• In-branch sales engine is not effective
World class operations

• Distributed/decentralised configuration resulting in a varied
performance – branches doing most of the operations

New access options

• Limited/low level usage of entire range of channel options • While ATM usage has increased in the recent past, penetration
of phone banking and internet banking is lower than competition
6

TALENT, OPERATIONAL CONTROL, OWNERSHIP ARE BIGGEST ISSUES FOR PSU BANKS
Talent Operational

• Unable to attract entry level talent
– Rigid recruitment policies – Slower growth to middle and senior management path – Lower compensation/no ESOPs – Poor performance culture – Perceived lack of operating freedom

• Fear of accountability
– Accountability to government restricts decision making • CVC guidelines adherence issues • CAG Audit • Procurement process L1/L2

• Union issues
– Transfers/Reassignments – Disciplining – Inability to mete out significant consequence management systems Ownership

• Government ownership floor at 51% restricts ability to raise capital • More than fair share in
– Priority sector – Minority lending – Bankers to government – Financial inclusion/rural
