VALUES:
The roots of the State Bank of India rest the first decade of 19th century , when the bank
of Calcutta , later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of
Bengal and two other Presidency banks, namely, the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April
1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were
incorporated as joint stock companies, and were the result of the royal charters. These three
4
banks received the exclusive right to issue paper currency in 1861 with the paper Currency Act, a
right they retained until the formation of the Reserve Bank of India. The Presidency banks
amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the reorganized banking entity took as its name Imperial
Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India continued to remain a Joint stock company.
Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act (1955), the Reserve Bank of
India, which is India’s central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India.
On 30 April 1955 the Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India.
In 1959 the Government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, enabling
the State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries. On
Sept 13, 2008, State Bank of Saurashtra, one of its Associate Banks, merged with State Bank of
India.

HISTORY
The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth
century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years
later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809).
A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the
Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July
1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern
banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.
Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either
as result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce
and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India's economy.
Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments in Europe and
England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading
environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the
global economic framework.
The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time.
Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed and the
rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which
managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large
European managing agency houses in India. The rest were government nominees, invariably
civil servants, one of whom was elected as the president of the board.
BUSINESS
The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exchange or
other negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and issuing and
circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs.one Lakh and the period of accommodation
confined to three months only. The security for such loans was public
securities, commonly called Company's Paper, bullion, treasure, plate, jewels, or goods 'not
of a perishable nature' and no interest could be charged beyond a rate of twelve per cent.
Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woollens, cotton, cotton piece goods, mule twist
and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of cash credits gained momentum
only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All commodities, including tea, sugar
and jute, which began to be financed later, were either pledged or hypothecated to the bank.
Demand promissory notes were signed by the borrower in favour of the guarantor, which was
6
in turn endorsed to the bank. Lending against shares of the banks or on the mortgage of
houses, land or other real property was, however, forbidden.
Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company's paper, while the
business of discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive monopoly of
individuals Europeans and their partnership firms. But the main function of the three banks,
as far as the government was concerned, was to help the latter raise loans from time to time
and also provide a degree of stability to the prices of government securities.
In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural India was
given the highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the Imperial Bank of
India had till then confined their operations to the urban sector and were not equipped to
respond to the emergent needs of economic regeneration of the rural areas. In order,
therefore, to serve the economy in general and the rural sector in particular, the All India
Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the creation of a state-partnered and state-
sponsored bank by taking over the Imperial Bank of India, and integrating with it, the former
state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was accordingly passed in Parliament in May
1955 and the State Bank of India was constituted on 1 July 1955. More than a quarter of the
resources of the Indian banking system thus passed under the direct control of the State.
Later, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959, enabling the State
Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries (later named
Associates).
The State Bank of India was thus born with a new sense of social purpose aided by the
480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices inherited from the
Imperial Bank. The concept of banking as mere repositories of the community's savings and
lenders to creditworthy parties was soon to give way to the concept of purposeful banking
subserving the growing and diversified financial needs of planned economic development.
The State Bank of India was destined to act as the pacesetter in this respect and lead the indian
banking system.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS:
➢ Brand name: SBI Bank has earned a reputation in the market over the period of time (Being
the oldest bank in India tracing history back to 1806)
➢ Market Leader: SBI is ranked at 380 in 2008 Fortune Global 500 list, and ranked 219 in 2008
Forbes Global 2000. With an asset base of $126 billion and its reach, it is a regional banking
behemoth.
➢ Wide Distribution Network: Excellent penetration in the country with more than 10000 core
branches and more than 5100 branches of associate banks (subsidiaries).
➢ Diversified Portfolio: SBI Bank has all the products under its belt, which help it to extend the
relationship with existing customer’s Bank has umbrella of products to offer their customers, if
once customer has relationship with the bank. Some Products, which SBI Bank is offering are:
Retail Banking Business Banking Merchant Establishment Services (EDC Machine) Personal
loans & Car loans Insurance Housing Loans
➢ Government Owned: Government owns 60% stake in SBI. This gives SBI an edge over
private banks in terms of customer security.
➢ Low Transition Costs-SBI offers very low transition costs which attracts small customers.
➢ Continued effort to increase low cost deposit would ensure improvement in NIMs and hence
earnings.
WEAKNESSES:
➢ The existing hierarchical management structure of the bank although strength in some
respects, is a barrier to change.
➢ Though SBI cards are the 2nd largest player in the credit card industry, it has the highest non
performing assets (NPAs) in the industry, which stand out to be at 16.28 % (Dec 2007).
➢ Modernisation: SBI lags with respect to private players in terms of modernisation of its
processes, infrastructure, centralisation, etc.
➢ SBI is currently operating at a lowest CAR(8%). Insufficient capital may restrict the growth
prospects of the bank going forward.
➢ Delay in technology up gradation could result in loss of market shares.
➢ Management indicated a likely pension shortfall on account of AS-15 to be close to Rs50bn.
➢ Contribution of retail credit to total bank credit stood at 26%. Significant thrust on growing
retail book poses higher credit risk to the bank.
OPPORTUNITIES:
9
➢ Merger of associate banks with SBI: Merger of all the associate banks (like SBH, SBM, etc)
into SBI will create a mega bank which streamlines operations and unlocks value.
➢ Planning to add 2000 branches and 3000 ATMs in 2008- 2009. This will further increase its
reach.
➢ Increasing trade and business relations and a large number of expatriate populations offers a
great opportunity to expand on foreign soil.
➢ Global expansion: SBI already has expanded globally and start its operations internationally
in 32 countries like Australia, Bangladesh, etc.... and has more plans of expansion in other
global markets.
➢ Growing retail & SMEs thrust would lead to higher business growth.
➢ Micro Finance: there is a lot of growth opportunity in the area of micro finance.
➢ Strong economic growth would generate higher demand for funds pursuant to higher orporate
demand for credit on account of capacity expansion.
THREATS:
➢ Advent of MNC banks: Large numbers of MNC banks are mushrooming in the Indian market
due to the friendly policies adopted by the government. This can increase the level of
competition and prove a potential threat for the market share of SBI bank.
➢ Consumer expectations have increased many folds in last few years and the bank has not been
responsive enough to meet them on time.
➢ Private banks have started venturing into the rural and semiurban sector, which used to be the
bastion of the State Bank and other PSU banks
➢ Employee Strike: There was an employee strike in the year 2006 which disrupted SBI’s
activities. This can be repeated in the future.
➢ Stiff competition, especially in the retail segment, could impact retail growth of SBI and
Hence slowdown in earnings growth.
➢ Slow down in domestic economy would pose a concern over credit off-take thereby
Impacting earnings growth.
➢ The changing interest rates and the changing policies of RBI.

Scenario Planning
Scenario planning is SBI's tool of choice for developing corporate and other high-level
strategies. Why scenario planning? Because the future is inherently uncertain! In the face of an
uncertain future, the best one can do is:
SBI's approach to scenario planning covers items 1, 2, and 3 above. Roadmapping service sets
the stage for items 4 and 5.
SBI's Approach
SBI began developing its scenario planning more than 25 years ago and remains a leader
in helping clients apply the approach to their businesses. Our multidisciplinary consulting team
works with clients to identify and focus critical strategic issues, create relevant scenarios that
capture the important uncertainties in the external environment, and then develop the best
strategy on the basis of an evaluation of competing alternatives.
The country's largest lender, State Bank of India has plans of increasing the staff intake in
its branches across the country. The bank has raised the target of hiring 11,000 employees for its
clerical post to 25,000 so as to take care of the retirements as well as the positions at its new
branches.
Currently the hiring process is in progress and the bank is seeking approval to hire 25,000
candidates instead of 11,000 in this recruitment season itself, a senior SBI official quoted.
The official further added that this step by the bank would save both time and cost as the
bank will not have to go in for fresh recruitment drive next year. The estimated cost for the
clerical recruitment in 2010 is pegged at Rs 50 crore, he said.
11
While the written examination has already been conducted for which 27 lakh candidates
appeared, the interview sessions are scheduled in the upcoming 2-3 months. The induction
process is expected to be over by March 2011.
The bank has already hired 33,000 people for clerical post since 2007. With the addition
of 25,000 more employees the total intake would exceed 50,000 by March 2011.
"Our assessment of manpower needs factors in the needs of banking entities within
group. With consolidation underway, bank would group approach is becoming more relevant,"
another official said.
SBI plans to improve its branch network to 50,000 from 17,075 by the end of this
decade.Currently, SBI has 12,207 domestic and 141 overseas branches while the remaining
belong to its six associate banks. The bank currently has 250 million accounts. It further plans to
merge its associate banks to itself in the upcoming few years.
This year alone, SBI has opened 975 branches and it intends to add another 1,000
branches during 2010-11. It had around 9,100 branches at the start of year 2000.

be used by managers at various branches of the bank
PERFOMANCE APPRAISAL
The basic purpose of this system is to motivate the employees to work more effectively
and efficiently in order to attain the organizational goals. As we know that success of any
service organization depends upon how strong that bank is in managing its employees and
retaining them over the period of time to have much better customer and employee relationship.
From the figure it’s clear that for attaining high profitability the banks should try to have
customer satisfaction which can only be attained if the employees are satisfied and they work
wholly and solely for the banks.
The scheme aims at rewarding the performers. The following officers are eligible under
this scheme. Indirect workers, such as supervisors, foremen, charge hands, helpers, crane
operators, canteen staff, store keepers and clerical staff are also be covered in the incentive
scheme.
CONTROLLING
The Inspection Department at Head Office co-ordinates the Audit and Inspection
activities of the Bank. In addition to the regular internal inspection, IS Audit, Compliance Audit,
Surprise Inspection, System Audit of Zonal Offices and Head Office departments, etc. are
conducted by the Inspection Department.
The Bank has put in place an effective institutional mechanism for Risk Based
Supervision through RBS Cell in Inspection Department. As envisaged by the regulator, the
Bank introduced Risk Focused Internal Audit (RFIA) under RBS w .e. f. 1st April 2003, where
business parameters have been de-linked from the Risk Parameters
CREDIT AUDIT
17
The audit of loan appraisal and administration for high value credit accounts with the aim
of improving the asset quality of the Bank is undertaken by the Credit Audit Department.
INTER-OFFICE RECONCILIATION
As per RBI guidelines, all the high value debit entries of value Rs.1 lac and above and
99.99% of debit amount need to be reconciled within a period of six months from the date of
their origin. As against this stipulation, the Bank had completed reconciliation of Inter-branch
accounts up to December 2009 achieving 100% reconciliation of debit entries by end-March
2010. The Bank has also reconciled all credit entries of value Rs.50,000/- and above for the
quarter ended September 2009 in Branch Clearing General Account. The Bank aims to reconcile
all entries within a shorter time frame than the target of 3 months set by RBI.
COMPLIANCE
The Bank ensures that GOI and RBI directives/instructions received are being complied
with promptly. Quarterly review reports on the compliance status and performance of the
Departments are regularly submitted to the Audit Committee of the Board for information.
MONITORING
The period under review was a year where the vigilance climate in the Bank was quite
normal. The integrity level of staff/ officers in this Bank is very high and hence the instances of
criminal misconduct committed by the staff/officers were minimal. Unfortunately two instances
of frauds, where staff members were involved, reported during the year have posed some
concern. Regular Departmental Action against erring officials has been initiated.

CONCLUSION
Banking sector in India has gone through a metamorphosis change in its concept
perception and outlook quantitative expansion with quality has been a phenomenon in the
operations of the banking system bank being a service selling show has to meet the need of the
customers which vary from place to place, time to time and purpose to purpose and also at the
same time it has to sustain the tough competition coming from all the four ends.
An increase in the income and saving of the urban population has raised hopes for
banking institutions to fill up the gaps by catering to the need of the potential customers and also
penetrate into new target markets like rural sectors through its innovative financial products like
micro finance and SBI is doing the same and this has been proved by so many awards it has
achieved in the recent past, A few of them being most preferred bank as declared by CNBC in
Aug 2007.
State bank of India earlier known as Imperial Bank has proved its existence through
introducing various innovative schemes and that also are considered as competitive in present
market.
In this span of time, they have also come up with new strategies so as to compete in this
fiercely competitive market where every next day a new scheme is introduced so as to grab the
market share.
At the same time it can be concluded that they need to focus on the human resources in
order to achieve the maximum market share.
