OVERVIEW OF INDIAN ECONOMY The banking system in India continued to grapple with rising delinquencies and higher scrutiny from the regulators. The process for new licenses was set into the motion, with the onset of the new Governor. The rates were increased a couple of times to counter the rising inflation, thereby leading to turning off the tap to bare minimum when it came to funding at competitive rates by the banks. The core industries and the infrastructure sectors witnessed lower traction in terms of activity, thereby leading to lukewarm economic activity across key states. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS NBFCs are an integral part of the country's financial system complementing the services of commercial banks. The main reason attributed to the growth of NBFCs is the combrhensive regulation of the banking system. Other factors include higher level of customer orientation, lesser br/post sanction requirements and higher rates of interest on deposits being offered by NBFCs. It is mandatory that every NBFC should be registered with RBI to carry on any business of non banking financial institution. The activities of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in India have undergone qualitative changes over the years through functional specialization. The role of NBFCs as effective financial intermediaries has been well recognized as they have inherent ability to take quicker decisions, assume greater risks, and customize their services and charges more according to the needs of the clients. While these features, as compared to the banks, have contributed to the proliferation of NBFCs, their flexible structures allow them to unbundle services provided by banks and market the components on a competitive basis. The distinction between banks and non-banks has been gradually getting blurred since both the segments of the financial system engage themselves in many similar types of activities. At brsent, NBFCs in India have become prominent in a wide range of activities like hire-purchase finance, equipment lease finance, loans, investments, etc. By employing innovative marketing strategies and devising tailor-made products, NBFCs have also been able to build up a clientele base among the depositors, mop up public savings and command large resources as reflected in the growth of their deposits from public, shareholders, directors and other companies, and borrowings by issue of non-convertible debentures, etc. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS Opportunities Some of the key changes in the Industry which are favorable to the Company are: • Expected buoyancy in the Capital Market & further increased FIIs inflow • The players in the NBFC sector still have a lot of scope to cover larger market and the rural markets are still untapped Threats • Regulatory changes in the NBFC and ancillary sectors FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE During the year, your Company has deployed the funds in various areas viz., Inter Corporate Deposits, Loans to individuals & firms, Primary Market, Secondary Market and Deposit with Banks etc. Since your company mainly concentrated on Loans & Advances to various individuals, firms, corporate etc and earned a handsome interest.
