HISTORY OF ICICI BANK
ICICI was formed in 1955 atthe initiative ofthe World Bank, the Government
of India and Indian industry representatives. The principal objective was to create a
development financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project
financing to Indian businesses. Until the late 1980s, ICICI primarily focused its
activities on project finance, providing long-term funds to a variety of industrial
projects. With the liberalization of the financial sector in India in the 1990s, ICICI
transformed its business from a development financialinstitution offering only project

finance to a diversified financial services providerthat, along with its subsidiaries and
other group companies, offered a wide variety of products and services.
ICICI Bank was incorporated in 1994 as a part ofthe ICICI group. ICICI Banks
initial equity capital was contributed 75.0% by ICICI and 25.0% by SCICI Limited, a
diversified finance and shipping finance lender of which ICICI owned 19.9% at
December 1996. Pursuant to the merger of SCICI into ICICI, ICICI Bank became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ICICI. Effective March 10, 2001, ICICI Bank acquired
Bank ofMadura, an old private sector bank, in an all-stock merger.
Conversion into a bank offered ICICI the ability to accept low-cost demand
deposits and offer a wider range of products and services, and greater opportunities
for earning non-fund based income in the form of banking fees and commissions.
ICICI Bank also considered various strategic alternatives in the context of the
emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry. ICICI Bankidentified a
large capital base and size and scale of operations as key success factors in the Indian
banking industry.
At the time of the merger, both ICICI Bank and ICICI were publicly listed in
India and on the New York Stock Exchange. The amalgamation was approved by
each of the boards of directors of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Services, ICICI
Capital Services and ICICI Bank at their respective board meetings held on October
25, 2001. The amalgamation was approved by ICICI Banks and ICICIs shareholders

Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It
may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it
we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his
research problem along with logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to
know not only the research methods but also the methodology. Research
Methodology includes:
Research Problem
Research Design
Sampling Design
Collection of Data
Research Problem: There are two types of research problems, i.e. those that relateto state of nature and those, which relate to relationship between variables. Atthe very
outsetthe researcher must single outthe problem he wants to study i.e. he must decide
the general area ofinterest or aspect of a subject matterthat he would like to inquire
into. Essentially two steps are involved in formulating the research problem i.e.
understanding the problem thoroughly, and rephrasing the same into meaningful
terms from an analytical point ofview.
Research Design: A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection
and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research
purpose with economy in procedure. Infect, the research design is the conceptual
structure with in which research is conducted; it constitutes the blue print for the
collection, measurement and analysis of data.
TYPES of RESEARCH DESIGN:
Exploratory Research Design: Exploratory research studies are also termed
as formulate research studies. The main purpose of such studies is that of
formulating a problem for more precise investigation. The major emphasis in
such studies is on the discovery ofideas and insights.

Descriptive Research Studies: Descriptive research studies are those which
describing the characteristics of a particularindividual or group.
Diagnostic Research Studies: Diagnostic research studies determine the
frequency with which something occurs orits association with something else.
Experimental Research Studies: In this study researchertests the hypothesis
of casual relationship between variables. Such studies require procedures that
will not only reduce bias and increase reliability, but will permit drawing
inferences about causality.
RESEARCH DESIGN PROJECT
Research design includes descriptive and diagnostic study of framework.
Sampling Design: Allthe items under consideration in any field ofinquiry constitute
a universe or population. A complete enumeration of allitems in the population
is known as census inquiry. We select only a few items from the universe for our
study purpose. The items so selected constitute whatis technically called a sample.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and
research design plan chalked out. Data is collected by methods:
1. Primary Data:
The primary data are those, which are collected afresh and forthe firsttime,
and thus happen to be originalin character.
Primary data is the data, which is collected through observation or direct
communication with the respondent in one form or another. These are several
methods for primary data collection like Observation Method, Interview Method,
through schedules, through questionnaires and so on.
Methods:
y Observation Method: the observation is the most commonly used method
especially in studies relating to behavior sciences. In this way we observe for
things around us, butthis sort ofinformation is not scientific observation.

8/7/2019 RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT Kamal

Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
y Observation becomes a scientific tool and the method of data collection forthe
researcher, when it serves a formulated research purpose is systematically
planned and recorded and is subjected to checks and controls on validity and
reliability.
y Interview Method: the interview method of collecting data involves
presentation of oral-verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oral-verbal responses
personal interview method requires a person known as the interviewer asking
questions generally in the face to face contactto other person or persons. This
sort ofinterview may be in the foam of direct personalinvestigation or it may
be indirect oralinvestigation.
y Questionnaire Method: this method of data collection is quite popular,
particularly in case of big enquiries. Itis being adopted by private individuals,
research works, private and public organizations and even by governments. In
this case a questionnaire is sent to persons concerned with request to answer
the number of questions printed in a definite order on a form or set of forms.
y Schedules: this method of data collection is very much like the collection of
data through questionnaire, with little difference which lies in the fact the
schedules are being filled by the enumerators who are specially appointed for
the purpose. The enumerators along with schedules go to respondents, put to
them the questions listed and record the replies in the space meant for the
same in Performa.
2) Secondary Data:
These methods are those, which have been passed through the statistical
process.
Study of secondary data thatincludes:
1) Magazines2) Journal
3) Portails
4) Documents.
5) Books

ANALYSIS OF DATA:
Data, after collection, has to be analyzed in accordance willthe outline laid for
the time of developing the research plan. The term analysis refers to the computation
of certain measures along with searching for patterns of relationship that exist among
data groups. Data presented in raw state appear unrecognized and complex. Statistical
processors are used this complex data into some significant understandable form.

RATIOANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION:
Fundamental Analysis has a very broad scope. One aspectlooks atthe general
(qualitative) factors of a company. The other side considers tangible and measurable
factors (quantitative). This means crunching and analyzing numbers from the
financial statements. If used in conjunction with other methods, quantitative analysis
can produce excellent results.
Ratio analysis isn'tjust comparing different numbers from the balance sheet,
income statement, and cash flow statement. It's comparing the number against
previous years, other companies, the industry, or even the economy in general. Ratios
look atthe relationships between individualvalues and relate them to how a company
has performed in the past, and might perform in the future.
MEANING OF RATIO:
A ratio is one figure express in terms of another figure. It is a mathematical
yardstick that measures the relationship two figures, which are related to each other
and mutually interdependent. Ratio is express by dividing one figure by the other
related figure. Thus a ratio is an expression relating one number to another. It is
simply the quotient oftwo numbers. It can be expressed as a fraction or as a decimal
or as a pure ratio orin absolute figures as so many times. As accounting ratio is an
expression relating two figures or accounts or two sets of account heads or group
contain in the financial statements.

MEANING OF RATIO ANALYSIS:
Ratio analysis is the method or process by which the relationship ofitems or
group ofitems in the financial statement are computed, determined and presented.
Ratio analysis is an attempt to derive quantitative measure or guides
concerning the financial health and profitability of business enterprises. Ratio analysis
can be used both in trend and static analysis. There are several ratios atthe disposal of
an annalist but their group of ratio he would prefer depends on the purpose and the
objective of analysis.
This technique is called cross-sectional analysis. Cross-sectional analysis
compares financial ratios of several companies from the same industry. Ratio analysis
can provide valuable information about a company's financial health. A financial ratiomeasures a company's performance in a specific area. For example, you could use a
ratio of a company's debt to its equity to measure a company's leverage. By
comparing the leverage ratios of two companies, you can determine which company
uses greater debt in the conduct of its business. A company whose leverage ratio is
higherthan a competitor's has more debt per equity.
OBJECTIVE OF RATIOS:
Ratio is work out to analyze the following aspects of business organization -
A) Solvency-
1) Long term
2) Short term
3) Immediate
B) Stability
C) Profitability
D) Operational efficiency
E) Credit standing
F) Structural analysis
G) Effective utilization of resources
H) Leverage or external financing
FORMS OF RATIO:

Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
Since a ratio is a mathematical relationshi p between to or more variables /
accounting figures, such relationship can be expressed in different ways as follows
A] As a pure ratio:
For example the equity share capital of a company is Rs. 20,00,000 & thepreference share capitalis Rs. 5,00,000, the ratio of equity share capitalto preference
share capitalis 20,00,000: 5,00,000 or simply 4:1.
B] As a rate oftimes:
In the above case the equity share capital may also be described as 4 times
that of preference share capital. Similarly, the cash sales of a firm are
Rs. 12,00,000 & credit sales are Rs. 30,00,000. so the ratio of credit sales to cash sales
can be descri bed as 2.5 [30,00,000/12,00,000] or simply by saying that the credit
sales are 2.5 times that of cash sales.
C] As a percentage:
In such a case, one item may be expressed as a percentage of some otheritem.
For example, net sales ofthe firm are Rs.50,00,000 & the amount ofthe gross profitis
Rs. 10,00,000, then the gross profit may be descri bed as 20% of sales [
10,00,000/50,00,000]
STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS;
The ratio analysis requires two steps as follows:
1] Calculation of ratio
2] Comparing the ratio with some predetermined standards. The standard ratio may
be the past ratio ofthe same firm orindustrys average ratio or a projected ratio orthe
ratio ofthe most successful firm in the industry. In interpreting the ratio of a particular
firm, the analyst cannot reach any fruitful conclusion unless the calculated ratio is
compared with some predetermined standard. The importance of a correct standard is
oblivious as the conclusion is going to be based on the standard itself.
TYPES OF COMPARISONS:
The ratio can be compared in three different ways
-
8/7/2019 RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT Kamal
27/65
Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
1] Cross Section Analysis:
One ofthe way of comparing the ratio or ratios ofthe firm is to compare them
with the ratio or ratios of some other selected firm in the same industry at the same
point oftime. So it involves the comparison of two or more firms financial ratio at
the same point oftime. The cross section analysis helps the analyst to find out as to
how a particular firm has performed in relation to its competitors. The firms
performance may be compared with the performance ofthe leader in the industry in
order to uncover the major operational inefficiencies. The cross section analysis is
easy to be undertaken as most of the data required for this may be available in
financial statement ofthe firm.
2] Time Series Analysis:
The analysis is called Time series analysis when the performance of a firm is
evaluated over a period oftime. By comparing the present performance of a firm with
the performance ofthe same firm overthe last few years, an assessment can be made
about the trend in progress of the firm, about the direction of progress of the firm.
Time series analysis helps to the firm to assess whetherthe firm is approaching the
long-term goals or not. The Time series analysis looks for (1) important trends in
financial performance (2) shiftin trend overthe years (3) significant deviation if any
from the other set of data.
3] Combined Analysis:
Ifthe cross section & time analysis, both are combined togetherto study the
behavior & pattern of ratio, then meaningful & comprehensive evaluation of the
performance ofthe firm can definitely be made. A trend of ratio of a firm compared
with the trend ofthe ratio ofthe standard firm can give good results. For example, the
ratio of operating expenses to net sales for firm may be higher than the industry
average however, over the years it has been declining for the firm, whereas the
industry average has not shown any significant changes.

The combined analysis as depicted in the abo e diagram, which clearly shows that the
ratio of the firm is abo e the industry a erage, but it is decreasing o er the years & is
approaching the industry a erage.
PRE RE UISITIES T RATIO ANAL SIS:
In order to use the ratio analysis as de ice to make purposeful conclusions,
there are certain pre-requisites, which must be taken care of. It may be noted that
these prerequisites are not conditions for calculations for meaningful conclusions. The
accounting figures are inacti e in them & can be used for any ratio but meaningful &
correct interpretation & conclusion can be arri ed at only if the following points are
well considered.
The dates of different financial statements from where data is taken must be same.
If possible, only audited financial statements should be considered, otherwise there
must be sufficient e idence that the data is correct.
Accounting policies followed by different firms must be same in case of cross section
analysis otherwise the results of the ratio analysis would bedistorted.
One ratio may not throw light on any performance of the firm. Therefore, a group of
ratios must be preferred. This will be conducti e to counter checks.
Last but not least, the analyst must find out that the two figures being used to
calculate a ratio must be related to each other, otherwise there is no purpose of
calculating a ratio.

Ifthe ratios are based on the figures of balance sheet, they are called Balance
SheetRatios. E.g. ratio of current assets to currentliabilities or ratio of debtto equity.
While calculating these ratios, there is no need to refer to the Revenue statement.
These ratios study the relationship between the assets & the liabilities, ofthe concern.
These ratio help to judge the liquidity, solvency & capital structure of the concern.
Balance sheet ratios are Current ratio, Liquid ratio, and Proprietory ratio, Capital
gearing ratio, Debt equity ratio, and Stock working capital ratio.

3] Composite Ratio:
These ratios indicate the relationshi p between two items, of which one is
found in the balance sheet & otherin revenue statement.
There are to types of composite ratios-
a) Some composite ratios study the relationshi p between the profits & the

Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its short-term (usually up to 1 year)
obligations. The ratios, which indic``ate the liquidity of a company, are Current ratio,
Quick/Acid-Test ratio, and Cash ratio. The Liquidity ratios give a basic ability of a
company to meet its short term liabilities. They also give a picture of how the
company has financed its short term assets. There are various ratios within these
which provide information about a companys fundamentals.These ratios are
discussed below
Current Ratio:
This ratio compares the current assests with the currentliabilities. Itis also known as
working capital ratio or solvency ratio. Itis expressed in the form of pure ratio

Current assets
Current ratio =
Current liabilities
Current ratio is equal to current assets divided by current liabilities. If the current
assets of a company are more than twice the current liabilities, then that company is
generally considered to have good short-term financial strength. If current liabilities
exceed current assets, then the company may have problems meeting its short-term
obligations. As a general rule, a current ratio of 2:1 or greateris normally sufficientto
meet near-term operating needs. A current ratio that is too high can suggest that a
company is hoarding assets instead of using them to grow the business -- not the
worst thing in the world, but potentially something that could impact long-term
returns.
The current ratio is calculated as:
CurrentRatio = CurrentAssets /CurrentLiabilities
The current ratio in case of ICICI BANK can bee seen here:
Year 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 2008-2009
CurrentRatio 0.51 0.62 0.61 0.72 0.78
Liquid Ratio:
The quick ratio is simply current assets minus inventories divided by current
liabilities. By taking inventories out ofthe equation, you can check and see if a
company has sufficientliquid assets to meet short-term operating needs. There
is a possibility of window dressing in case of the current ratio. The current
assets comprise ofthe cash, inventories and the sundry debtors.

The Liquid ratio is calculated as:
Liquid Ratio = (Current Assets Inventory)/Current Liabilities

Liquid Ratio 4.98 6.42 6.04 6.64 5.94
Absolute Cash Ratio:
The abo e ratios still lea e a possibility of window dressing using the debtors
to the company. The ACR ensures that we get the exact cash present with the
company to co er for its current liabilities.
The Absolute cash ratio is calculated as:
Absolute cash ratio = (Current Assets Inventory Debtors)/Current Liabilities

Working capital:
The working capitalis given by:
Working capital= CA CL
This gives a clear picture of how the assets have been financed by the
company. Ifthis is a positive value, itindicates thatthe assets have been partly
financed by current liabilities and partly by Long term debt. If this value is
negative, then parts of the fixed assets have been financed by the current
liabilities. Working capital is basically an expression of how much in liquidassets the company currently has to build its business, fund its growth, and
produce shareholdervalue. If a company has positive working capital, then it
is in good shape, with plenty of cash on hand to pay for everything it might
need to buy. If a company has negative working capital, then its current
liabilities are actually greater than their current assets, so the company lacks
the ability to spend with the same aggressive nature as a working capital
positive peer. All otherthings being equal, a company with positive working
capital will always out perform a company with negative working capital.

Earnings Per Share:
EPS is the net profit of loss to the share holders for each share. It is used in
valuation of a company and to measure its performance. PAT is used in the
calculation of EPS because itis gives the amount available to the shareholders
once the taxes are paid. Itis calculated by taking the weighted average ofthe
shares outstanding.
EPS = Profit after Tax / No. of shares

Capital Gearing Ratio:
Gearing means the process of increasing the equity shareholders return through the
use of debt. Equity shareholders earn more when the rate ofthe return on total capital
is more than the rate ofinterest on debts. This is also known as leverage ortrading on
equity. The Capital-gearing ratio shows the relationship between two types of capital
viz: - equity capital & preference capital & long term borrowings. Itis expressed as a
pure ratio.
Preference capital+ secured loan
Capital Gearing Ratio =
Equity capital & reserve & surplus
Capital gearing ratio indicates the proportion of debt & equity in the financing of
assets of a concern.
4) PROFITABILITY
These ratios hel p measure the profitability of a firm. A firm, which generates a
substantial amount of profits per rupee of sales, can comfortably meet its operating
expenses and provide more returns to its shareholders. The relationship between profit

and sales is measured by profitability ratios. There are two types of profitability
ratios: Gross ProfitMargin andNet ProfitMargin.
Gross Profit Ratio:
This ratio measures the relationship between gross profit and sales. Itis defined as the
excess of the net sales over cost of goods sold or excess of revenue over cost. Thisratio shows the profit that remains after the manufacturing costs have been met. It

Capital employed refers to the long-term funds invested by the creditors and the
owners of a firm. It is the sum of long-term liabilities and owner's equity. ROCE
indicates the efficiency with which the long-term funds of a firm are utilized. This
ratio can be used to determine the profitability and efficiency of a company. It
indicates how well the company has utilized its capital employed. A higher ratio
indicates better returns for the company. In order to avoid reduction in shareholders
earnings, the rate of borrowing must be lowerthatROCE.

These ratios determine how quickly certain current assets can be converted into cash. They
are also called efficiency ratios or asset utilization ratios as they measure the efficiency of a
firm in managing assets. These ratios are based on the relationshi p between the level of
activity represented by sales or cost of goods sold and levels ofinvestmentin various assets.
The important turnover ratios are debtors turnover ratio, average collection period,
inventory/stock turnover ratio, fixed assets turnover ratio, and total assets turnover ratio.
These are described below:

Debtors Turno er Ratio (DTO):
DTO is calculated by di iding the net credit sales by a erage debtors outstanding during the
year. It measures the liquidity of a firm's debts.
et credit sales are the gross credit sales
minus returns, if any, from customers. A erage debtors are the a erage of debtors at the
beginning and at the end of the year. This ratio shows how rapidly debts are collected. The

accounting period.
Formula:
COGSS ck T R i

ITRreflects the efficiency of inventory management. The higher the ratio, the more
efficientis the management ofinventories, and vice versa. However, a high inventory
turnover may also result from a low level of inventory, which may lead to frequent
stock outs and loss of sales and customer goodwill. For calculating ITR, the average
ofinventories atthe beginning and the end of the year is taken. In general, averagesmay be used when a flow figure (in this case, cost of goods sold) is related to a stock
figure (inventories).
Solvency Ratios:
Solvency ratios are an indicator of the ability of a company to meet its long
term debt obligations. The lower the solvency ratio, the more likely the
company will default. Some ofthe ratios used to test for solvency are:
Debt-Equity Ratio:
Itis defined as the ratio between debt and equity. Itindicates the proportion of
debt and equity used to finance the assets. A higher DER indicates that the
assets are financed more by debt as compared to equity.
DebtEquity ratio= Debt/Ratio
The debt equity ratios ofthe ICICI BANK are as follows:

Market Based Returns:
PE Ratio:
This value is of most importance to shareholders of the company. It is the
most common ratio used to value the company. This is a clear indicator of
how much value can be extracted from the companys share and gives
shareholders an estimate of the returns that the share of this company can
provide in return to theirinvestment
Price to Earnings ratio = Market Price / (Earnings per share)
Earnings per share = PAT /No. of Shares issued.
Low PE stocks indicate thatthe price ofthe stock represents a smaller multiple
of the earnings for the previous year. The stock holders generally value the
price of a stock as a multiple of the earnings per share, by expecting the
company to do well and hence increase value in turn increase the share value
of the company equity shares. Although low PE stocks do indicate a
possibility of growth, in todays world they have to be looked at closely.Price to Earnings ratio = Market Price / (Earnings per share)

This ratio is used to compare the marketvalue of the share to the Bookvalue of the
company equity share. Itis calculated as:
Price to Book ratio = Stock Price *No. of shares issued/Net worth
= Stock Price / Bookvalue
A low PB ratio could be interpreted in 2 ways. It could mean thatthe company share
is undervalued and has scope of appreciation and hence providing returns overtime. It
could also mean that there is something wrong with the company fundamentally as
bookvalue is the value of allthe tangible assets and liabilities.
IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS -
As a tool of financial management, ratios are of crucial significance. The importance
of ratio analysis lies in the factthatit presents facts on a comparative basis & enables
the drawing of interference regarding the performance of a firm. Ratio analysis is
relevantin assessing the performance of a firm in respect ofthe following aspects:
1] Liquidity position,
2] Long-term solvency,
3] Operating efficiency,
4] Overall profitability,
5] Inter firm comparison
6] Trend analysis.
1] Liquidity Position:
With the hel p ofRatio analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding the
liquidity position of a firm. The liquidity position of a firm would be satisfactory ifit
is able to meet its current obligation when they become due. A firm can be said to
have the ability to meetits short-term liabilities ifit has sufficientliquid funds to pay
the interest on its short maturing debt usually within a year as well as to repay the
-

49/65
Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
principal. This ability is reflected in the liquidity ratio of a firm. The liquidity ratio are
particularly usefulin credit analysis by bank & other suppliers of shortterm loans.
2] Long Term Solvency:
Ratio analysis is equally useful for assessing the long-term financialviability of
a firm. This respect ofthe financial position of a borrower is of concern to the long-
term creditors, security analyst & the present & potential owners of a business. Thelong-term solvency is measured by the leverage/ capital structure & profitability ratio
Ratio analysis s that focus on earning power & operating efficiency.
Ratio analysis reveals the strength & weaknesses of a firm in this respect. The
leverage ratios, forinstance, willindicate whether a firm has a reasonable proportion
of various sources of finance or if it is heavily loaded with debt in which case its
solvency is exposed to serious strain.
3] Operating Efficiency:
Yet another dimension of the useful of the ratio analysis, relevant from the
viewpoint of management, is that it throws light on the degree of efficiency in
management & utilization ofits assets. The various activity ratios measures this kind
of operational efficiency. In fact, the solvency of a firm is, in the ultimate analysis,
dependent upon the sales revenues generated by the use of its assets- total as well as
its components.
4] Overall Profitability:
Unlike the outsides parties, which are interested in one aspect ofthe financial
position of a firm, the managementis constantly concerned about overall profitability
ofthe enterprise. Thatis, they are concerned aboutthe ability of the firm to meets its
-
8/7/2019 RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT Kamal

Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
short term as well as long term obligations to its creditors, to ensure a reasonable
return to its owners & secure optimum utilization of the assets of the firm. This is
possible if an integrated view is taken & allthe ratios are considered together.
5] Inter Firm Comparison:
Ratio analysis not only throws light on the financial position of firm but also serves as
a stepping-stone to remedial measures. This is made possible due to inter firm comparison &
comparison with the industry averages. A single figure of a particular ratio is meaningless
unless itis related to some standard or norm. one ofthe populartechniques is to compare the
ratios of a firm with the industry average. It should be reasonably expected that the
performance of a firm should be in broad conformity with that of the industry to which it
belongs. An inter firm comparison would demonstrate the firms position vice-versa its
competitors. Ifthe results are atvariance either with the industry average or with the those of
the competitors, the firm can seekto identify the probable reasons & in light, take remedial
measures.
6] Trend Analysis:
Finally, ratio analysis enables a firm to take the time dimension into account. In other
words, whetherthe financial position of a firm is improving or deteriorating overthe years.
This is made possible by the use oftrend analysis. The significance ofthe trend analysis of
ratio lies in the factthatthe analysts can know the direction of movement, thatis, whetherthe
movementis favorable or unfavorable. For example, the ratio may be low as compared to the
norm but the trend may be upward. On the other hand, though the present level may be
satisfactory butthe trend may be a declining one.

ADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial ratios are essentially concerned with the identification of significant
accounting data relationshi ps, which give the decision-maker insights into the financial
performance of a company. The advantages of ratio analysis can be summarized as follows:
Ratios facilitate conducting trend analysis, which is important for decision making and
forecasting.
Ratio analysis helps in the assessment ofthe liquidity, operating efficiency, profitability and
solvency of a firm.
Ratio analysis provides a basis for both intra-firm as well as inter-firm comparisons.
The comparison of actual ratios with base year ratios or standard ratios helps the management
analyze the financial performance ofthe firm.
DISADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis has its limitations. These limitations are described below:
1] Information Problems:
Ratios require quantitative information for analysis but it is not decisive about
analytical output.
The figures in a set of accounts are likely to be at least several months out of
date, and so might not give a proper indication of the companys current financial
position.
2] Comparison of Performance over T ime;
When comparing performance overtime, there is need to considerthe changes in
price. The movementin performance should be in line with the changes in price.

Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
When comparing performance overtime, there is need to considerthe changes in
technology. The movement in performance should be in line with the changes in
technology.
3] Inter-firm Comparison:
Companies may have different capital structures and to make comparison of
performance when one is all equity financed and anotheris a geared company it may
not be a good analysis.
Selective application of government incentives to various companies may also
distortintercompany comparison. comparing the performance oftwo enterprises may
be misleading.
Inter-firm comparison may not be useful unless the firms compared are of the
same size and age, and employ similar production methods and accounting practices.
Even within a company, comparisons can be distorted by changes in the price level.
Ratios provide only quantitative information, not qualitative information.
PURPOSE OF RATIO ANLYSIS -
1] To identify aspects of a businesses performance to aid decision making
2] Quantitative process may need to be supplemented by qualitative
Factors to get a complete picture.
3] 5 main areas:-
Liquidity the ability ofthe firm to pay its way.
Investment/shareholders information to enable decisions to be made on the extent
ofthe risk and the earning potential of a business investment.
Gearing information on the relationshi p between the exposure of the business to
loans as opposed to share capital.
Profitability how effective the firm is at generating profits given sales and or its
capital assets.
Financial the rate at which the company sells its stock and the efficiency with
which it uses its assets.

DUPONT ANALYSIS
DuPont analysis provides the frameworkto understand the drivers ofROI. In DuPont
analysis, an effort is made to decompose ROI and go to the root cause of ROI. To
enable this, the DuPont model integrates the elements of Income statement and the
balance sheet. This method is a very simple method which provides a clear
understanding of how the company generates its return. This analysis provides an
insightinto the importance of assetturnover as well as sales to overall return. We can
undertake the DuPont analysis by taking any variation ofROI, viz ROTA, ROCE, or
RONW. For our analysis, we are
taking ROCE.
ROCE = Profit Margin *Asset Turnover * Asset to Capital Employed
y ProfitMargin = PBIT/Sales
y Asset Turnover = Sales /Total Asset

-
8/7/2019 RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT Kamal
61/65
Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
Though ICICI Bank has been investing in R&D, but the investments are not
that high as well as the R&D of ICICI Bankis not strongly equipped so as to analysis
the deep hidden needs of customers as well as employees.
GAP 2: Not able to provide the desired services due to regulations.
Though knowing some of the desired services of customers or having some
innovative schemes allthis schemes are notimplemented by ICICI Bank, as all banks
in India are underthe regulation ofReserve Bank of India.
GAP 3: Improper Implementation by Employees.
Many schemes are launched by ICICI Bankto ensure old customer loyalty as
well as new customer base after compiling with RBI approval; stillthese schemes are
not implemented properly by the bank staff and mostly agents of banks because of
less understanding of schemes or because of no faith in them.
GAP 4: Problems faced by customers are spread rapidly, affecting the new customer
decision.
It is well noted in India that mouth to mouth publicity is the fastest way of
publicity whether it is positive or negative, under such situations any problem or
inconvenience faced by any customer of ICICI Bank spreads like rapid fire and
effects the decision of old as well as new customer directly & indirectly.
GAP 5: Services as promised by the agents are not delivered either on time or not at
all provided.
In orderto get better pay, the agents of ICICI Bank usually give false promises
to there customers regarding the quality of service or new schemes so as to lure them.
In such cases the finalloseris notjustthe customers butthe ICICI Group as whole as
it effects allthere businesses.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. A Major Revamp ofits Customer Care:
-
8/7/2019 RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT Kamal
62/65
Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
A complete over hauling of its customer care department is required so as to
reduce complaints of customerin turn which may affectits working.
2. Penetration into Rural Market with E Commerce Facility:
Though it is one of the strategies of ICICI Bank to enter deeply into rural
sector, butthis step has to be taken up seriously and as soon as possible so as
to tap the market the rural market easily and these services should be well
equipped with E Commerce features mainly like Tele banking and ATMs
etc.
3. Introduction of Smart Cards for New as well as Old Credit
Card Holders:
ICICI Bank should come up with the concept of smart cards were the data
regarding all the accounts & credit cards details of a individual customer is
placed in a single cards hence reducing the burden of carrying all credit cards
& other necessary items required for banking transaction.
4. Concentrate on Building Brand Image:
ICICI Bank is very well known institution for investing purposes and as well
as for its practices involving anti social elements; therein affecting its name
and Brand value ofits self and also ICICI group as a whole.
5. Formulation of a Win - Win Situation to Reduce Non
Performing Assets:
-
8/7/2019 RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT Kamal
63/65
Dronacharya Institute ofManagement and Technology, Kurukshetra
It has become a necessity for ICICI Bank to reduce its NPAs which have
risen tremendously afterthe merger with ICICI Limited.
6. Completely Separation of other alike Businesses like Insurance,
Mutual Funds etc:
Itis usually seen the ICICI Bank branches are over crowded with ICICI staff
though they dont belong to that branch or does not even belong to the ICICI
Bank, they usually are the agents ofits other businesses like Insurance, Mutual
funds etc this annoys the customer and creates a bad impression.
7. Major re-look at Working of their Agents:
The easiest way to reach to customers is through agents; and the agents of
ICICI Bank are highly skilled in this field but they do it at the cost of
customers innocence. There
