Its net interest income or revenues too went up by 34% to ₹3,074 crore from ₹2,288 crore in the comparable quarter. The fee income of this bank which has been banking heavily on its retail business, also went up by 22%. Its deposits and advances too went up by a robust 22% on an annual comparison. “During Q3 FY-20, the Bank witnessed a healthy growth in its topline as well as in operating profits. The Bank also reached a milestone as the Balance Sheet footage crossed ₹ 3 trillion and the advances crossed the ₹2 trillion-mark. PCR (provisioning coverage ratio) has been increased to 53% to strengthen the balance sheet,” said Romesh Sobti, managing director and CEO, IndusInd Bank said. However, the bank’s stock dropped by 2.9% to ₹1,493 as per BSE data at 3 pm. The bank which acquired Bharat Financial in 2017, is banking on its expanded footprint especially in the rural areas to drive growth going ahead. The acquisition turned effective on July last year, allowing the bank to derive full benefits of acquiring the shadow bank. A research note by Nomura says that the acquisition is a moat for the bank. “The asset side franchise has strengthened with BHAFIN, and IIB will undergo a full-fledged extension of the pilots that management believes will enable it to use Bharat Financial’s reach to create a rural touchpoint network that provides significant cross sell opportunity and also improve efficiency in a manpower-intensive MFI business,” said Nomura. The research note also believes that asset side strengths of the bank will be able to offset weaknesses in liabilities. “Bulkiness in liabilities and fees, apart from recent corporate asset quality issues, has been IIB's key weakness. While it is easier said than done, if the bank delivers well on granularizing its liabilities and successfully monetizing rural distribution via BHAFIN, it should drive a sustainable re-rating, in our view,” the note said.

Mumbai, Apr 3 () Moody's Investors Service on Friday placed private sector lender Indusind Bank's ratings under review for downgrade and cut its outlook on ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and IDBI Bank by a notch due to asset quality concerns in the current challenging times.The global ratings agency also affirmed the deposit ratings of ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and IDBI Bank.The ongoing COVID-19 crisis is bound to have a major impact on various sectors, including banks, according to experts. The RBI has already moved by offering a three-month moratorium on loan repayments.The review for downgrade of IndusInd's ratings reflects the downside risks to asset quality amid the deteriorating macro environment and financial market volatility, the agency said in a note.The proportion of microfinance and vehicle finance for IndusInd Bank is higher than the peers and these loans have a high risk of getting impacted due to the current stress as they have limited capacities to repay, it said.The bank's funding is also weak when compared to other rated Indian banks, as reflected by its high deposit concentration and low share of retail deposits, the agency said, adding this makes the bank more susceptible to the dislocations in the financial markets, including on wholesale funding sources.Meanwhile, the outlook on Axis Bank and ICICI Bank's ratings has been revised down to negative from stable, while the same for the LIC-run IDBI Bank has been made "stable" from "positive" earlier.The agency attributed that the changes in outlook are driven by potential deterioration in asset quality."The economic shock, resulting from the nationwide lockdown will exacerbate existing negative pressures on asset quality from the already deteriorating operating environment prior to the outbreak," it explained.ICICI Bank and Axis Bank may stand to suffer because of their exposures to the small and medium enterprises, given the fact that such businesses have limited liquidity buffers to withstand difficulties, it said.The rating agency also said that retail loans, especially the unsecured ones like credit cards can also face reverses if the salaries of borrowers suffer as a result of the lockdown.For IDBI Bank, it acknowledged that very low new business origination provides a cushion, but flagged risks from poor loan underwriting standards.The agency has also lowered its assumption of systemic support for ICICI Bank and Axis Bank to 'moderate' from 'high', resulting in a one-notch downgrade of their counterparty risk assessments and local currency counterparty risk rating, it said.

Moody's cuts outlook on Indian banks over asset quality concerns

<ul><li>IndusInd Bank’s provision for losses from IL&amp;FS may be too little too late, according to an analyst. </li><li>The provision for bad loans in the latest quarter should have come at least eight months ago, says Hemindra Hazari. </li></ul> To start with, Mumbai-based IndusInd’s profits fell by 62% in the fourth quarter compared to ₹9.5 billion to ₹3.6 billion. Yet, investors and analysts are happy. Their rationale -- bad loan burden due to its defaulter IL&amp;FS -- was not as bad as expected. Between January and March 2019, the bank made a provision of ₹12.7 billion against its loan to the troubled infrastructure lender, which had failed to pay back what it owes to banks, precipitating a liquidity crisis. A provision is where a bank sets aside some of its money to cover a loan that it believes is unrecoverable. For this, banks have to typically dip into their coffers, a step that can hurt its profits. Half truths But there are some who believe that the amount that IndusInd provisioned for the bad loan to IL&amp;FS, might not cover the extent of the exposure it has to IL&amp;FS. And, that there is an element of truth that may be missing from their statement. For one, it became obvious in September 2018 that IL&amp;FS had turned insolvent, but the full impact of it was not conveyed to analysts in a transparent manner. Added to that, the loan that IndusInd gave IL&amp;Fs is also unsecured, which means there is no collateral that the borrower has offered, which could have helped recover it. IndusInd chose to soften the blow to its investors by making only 13.8% (of the loan) provisioning in the second quarter ending September. It also assured the analysts that it may eventually go up by a further 20-25%. But this quarter ending March 2019, irrespective of the ‘maximum’ guidance it gave, the provision has risen to 70%. “They should have told us (analysts) from day one about the provision, and not have guided lower numbers to us,” says Hemindra Hazari, an independent capital markets. He wrote a report on the bank titled ‘<a href="http://hemindrahazari.com/2019/05/27/sell-side-analysts-blind-faith-in-indusind-bank-need-not-blind-investors/">Sell-Side Analysts’</a> Blind Faith in IndusInd Bank Need Not Blind Investors’. Staggering bad news This higher provision, as per an analyst report by Hazari, should have been made at least eight months back, when it had become obvious that IL&amp;FS had turned a toxic loan for every bank involved. “As per RBI norms, an unsecured non-performing loan requires 20-25% provisioning in the first year and requires 100% provisioning by the 366th day of remaining an NPA (non-performing asset),” said Hazari. The bank has not responded to Business Insider’s queries on the issue. In the second quarter analyst call, the managing director of the bank Ramesh Sobti had assured them saying, “So the best case scenario of course is that we don’t even provide this and we write it back and that scenario is equally possible. The scenario is possible that you make have to make another maybe 20 to 25% of this provisioning higher than this, is possible, so both scenarios are possible is the judgment call at this point of time that this is prudential in terms of our exposure.” Credibility of banks Changing stance regularly when a norm is in place usually affects the credibility of the management. Added to that, the bank has had several run-ins with regulators for incorrectly classifying its income. The banking regulator had imposed a <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/banking/rbi-imposes-rs-3-crore-penalty-on-indusind-bank/articleshow/62055391.cms">Rs 3 crore fine</a> on IndusInd Bank in 2017 for violating its regulations on non-performing loans and extension of non-fund based limits. And here, the bank isn’t alone. Earlier, Hazari had also called out <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-05-15/india-s-yes-bank-getting-a-director-from-rbi-signals-trouble?utm_medium=social&amp;cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-view&amp;utm_content=view&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=socialflow-organic">Yes Bank </a>and <a href="http://hemindrahazari.com/2017/12/13/wall-of-silence-sell-side-media-response-to-hdfc-banks-divergence/">HDFC Bank</a> both for inflating current profits using a tool called deferred tax asset--which will cause negative impact when it reverses in the following year. IndusInd Bank too had followed the same practice in its fourth quarter results. It is no secret that Indian banks are in trouble thanks to high profile defaults by Kingfisher Airlines head Vijay Mallya and diamantaire Nirav Modi, who have now fled the country. The grounding of Jet Airways and IL&amp;FS crisis is not helping no one. Yet, banks have chosen to provide a ‘feel good’ factor to investors, instead of giving forthright bad news. The <a href="https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/the-way-ahead-for-dealing-with-npas/article27198338.ece">total NPAs </a>for all scheduled commercial banks for the year 2017-18 stands at Rs 10.4 trillion. And, there is no way of underplaying this amount or an amount higher than this, or delay announcing bad loan news hoping for a better tomorrow.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recently approved the use of an eye drop designed to improve age-related near-vision, reports Express.co.uk. Called <keyword id="12709964" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="vuity" source="Orion">Vuity</keyword>, the drop is applied to each eye once a day and starts working within 15 minutes of application. The makers say each drop lasts for at least six hours. As per the report, the drug is a formulation of a well-known compound known as pilocarpine. The researchers behind Vuity designed it to allow for the eye drop to rapidly adjust to the pH of the tear film. What the drop does is take advantage of the eye's ability to reduce pupil size, improve near-vision whilst maintaining distance vision. The drop has been found to be most effective for those between the ages of 40 and 55. Results have come from two randomised control trials on 750 subjects, the report said. It was during these studies that Vuity was observed to start working within 15 minutes of application. In a positive piece of news, the drops were found to result in no serious side effects. However, some patients experienced mild headaches and eye redness.

The money did not come from the foreign investors. They continued to be net sellers in the cash market for the fourth straight month. It was domestic institutional investors like mutual funds that bought the most in this rally. “Markets this week rallied from the lows seen in March 2020. After almost a month of lockdown the world over, early signs of easing of the same along with some signs of the flattening of the COVID -19 curve spurred hope of economic activity resuming albeit at a slow pace. Some promise of a possible cure with positive preliminary results of a few drugs also added to hope and optimism," Shibani Sircar Kurian, Executive Vice President, Fund Manager &amp; Head- Equity Research,Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company said. <div type="image" title="fii dii data" msid="75466705" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Foreign investors in Indian share market remain net sellers for the fourth straight month. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> So, what does the road ahead look like? “The Fear Of Missing Out will drive many investors – including myself – off the sidelines," said Nigel Green, founder and chief executive of deVere Group, a global financial advisory firm. “Investor exuberance is contagious. As the markets move steadily higher - unfazed by the recent poor economic data from the peak of the pandemic – it can be expected that the uptick will further sharpen due to that powerful investor sentiment: FOMO," he added. If FOMO drives some of the global investors back to India, the rally may spillover into May.

 Banks in a bind HDFC Bank, the latest among the blue-chips to declare its earnings, lost over 3% in share value on Monday. It was not just because the earnings were poor. Yes, the margin shrank a bit and the amount of bad loans rose but it was the pessimism in the management's commentary that did the stock in. “The tone of management commentary may spook the markets. However, it is still one of the best managed banks out there,” Jefferies said in its report. HDFC Bank has reported a 23% growth in revenue and a 21% rise in net profit compared to a year earlier. The rise in bad loans from farmers was offset by a spike in other income. IndusInd Bank, whose reported profit grew 38%, suffered from the fears of a spike in bad loans because of the company's exposure to the infrastructure lending giant IL&amp;FS that has gone bust. The IL&amp;FS crisis has cast a shadow of doubt on the entire financial sector in the country.

 The slump in demand for cars and two-wheelers, the lack of enthusiasm among home buyers, and spiralling consumer demand overall have dented bank earnings overall. Yes Bank's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/yes-bank-q1-earnings-report-yes-bank-share-price-q1-earnings-repor/articleshow/70261380.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">quarterly profit between April and June 2019 fell 91%</a> compared to the same period a year ago, but it was still way better than estimates-- showing the lack of investor confidence. What propped up the stock on Monday were reports of a <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/yes-bank-shares-rally-7-on-dhfl-deal-buzz/articleshow/70325293.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">possible fund infusion</a> in the troubled housing finance company DHFL, to which Yes Bank has lent money.

 The elephant in the room The stock of Reliance Industries (RIL), one of India's biggest conglomerates, got a fillip on the first trading day after its earnings. But truly, the investors were just celebrating the fact that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/mukesh-ambanis-reliance-industries-profit-grows-6-8-even-as-gross-refining-margin-hits-the-lowest-in-18-quarters/articleshow/70294401.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">the company's mainstay petrochemicals business</a>was not doing as badly as they had feared. That alone was enough to prop up RIL's share price by over 2% on Monday. The Mukesh Ambani-owned company has seen very good traction in its relatively new businesses like Reliance Jio and Reliance Retail but, as many analysts have pointed out, the core businesses petrochemicals and refining -- which make for the lion's share of the company's gross revenue-- are under threat. "Reduction in heavy crude oil supply post US sanctions, global refining capacity addition this year exceeding expected incremental demand, and slowdown in petchem demand as a result of the US-China spat will weigh on RIL’s refining and petchem business," a HDFC Securities report said. Tech: Tightrope walk India's top-tier software and IT service companies, TCS and Infosys, have had a bittersweet response from investors so far. The slowdown in TCS' revenue and profit were on expected lines, according to the broking house Motilal Oswal. But investors have been driven the stock down since the earnings despite the company <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tcs-plans-to-hire-18000-freshers-in-next-3-months/articleshow/70146189.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">hinting at a double-digit growth</a> for the full year.

 Infosys did not have a standout quarter but the optimism in its outlook had investors upbeat. Infosys had projected a total growth 8.5% to 10% for the full year ending March 2020, which would imply a compounded quarterly growth 1.6% to 1.9%, according to a BOBCAPS research report.
