Company Profile:
The Federal Bank Limited (FBL) (the erstwhile Travancore Federal Bank Limited) was incorporated with an authorized capital of
rupees five thousand at Nedumpuram, a place near Tiruvalla in Central Travancore in 28th April of the year 1931 under the
Travancore Company's Act. Shri K.P.Hormis founded the Bank. It started business of auction-chitty and other banking
transactions connected with agriculture and industry. The bank though successful in the earlier periods, suffered set backs and
was on the verge of liquidation. As a largest traditional private sector bank in the country, FBL nurtured for more than seven
decades, gaining the reputation of being an agile, technology savvy and customer friendly bank and mostly built wide network of
branches, reaching out to cover all the major cities of the country.

During the period of 2006-07, the bank entered into a joint venture agreement with IDBI Ltd & Fortis Insurance International N V
for incorporating a Life Insurance Company under the name of IDBI Fortis Life Insurance Company Ltd. During the year 2007-
08, FBL had opened its Representative office at Abu Dhabi, capital of U.A.E. for the gateway of the bank to the whole of Middle
East and also as an interface between its existing customers of GCC countries and its Branches /Offices in India.
Investment Rationale:
1. Better low-cost deposit mix way to maintain margins towards higher levels :
As on 30-09-09, FBL’s CASA was 25%. FBL plans
to expand its CASA deposits to 28% in
approximately period of 3 years. FBL plans to 22% 25%
increase its low cost deposits by way of expansion
of branches and acquiring more customers. Till now
51% of deposits came from Kerala alone (refer
graph on page no.2). FBL is opening its new
branches mainly outside Kerala, this will help to
bring in low cost deposits. 53%
At present out of the total deposits, 22% are the CD CASA Term Deposits CD & Bulk deposits
& Bulk deposits (Rs.5 Cr above). These deposits
command low cost than the retail deposits. Source: Company & SKP Research
At present out of the Total retail deposits, 28% is the NRI deposits. FBL has come up with new initiatives to increase the NRI
deposits. They are:
• NRI branches have representative teams, which give special attention to the NRI customers.
• FBL has representative office in middle-east. This helps to reach more NRI customers and this also helps the
customers to easily deal with the bank, leading to better business for the bank.
• FBL has recently started online money remittance facility. This is expected to serve NRI customers in better way
and attract new customers also.
• New products are being launched for NRI customers as per the amount of deposit, to fulfill the NRI customer’s
needs.
• FBL has tie-up with more than 40 exchange houses / banks for money remittance to India from abroad.
Going forward we expect Deposits to grow at 19% and 22% for FY2010-11FY2011-12 respectively.

its high growth rate again.

FBL has internal credit rating system to rate its loans. As on March 2009, 90% of the banks advances are rated from highest
safety to moderate safety range.
• FBL is recruiting new talent and is concentrating on to bring in the local people in line with branch expansion.
The average employee age reduced from 43 years for 2008 to 42 years as on March 2009.
FBL has the highest CAR in the industry. As on March 2009, CAR was 20.14% and Tier 1 capital was 17.5%.
• FBL is shielded against any major impact if there is any unexpected huge deterioration of assets in future.
• This would help the bank to increase its business at high growth rate without the need to raise capital once the
economy revives completely.
• Excess cash on balance sheet can be used to ramp up the business activities.
FBL is in talk with Catholic Syrian Bank (CSB) for a merger. Final decision over the merger is expected in short period.
Bulls say:
• CSB’s branches are under valued and post merger in a span of 1-2 years FBL can harness the potential in these branches.
• Merger would take the number of branches of FBL to approximately 1000, which would make it the 3rd largest private
bank in India on basis of number of branches.
• Merger would help FBL to become the no. 1 bank in its home state Kerala and would shield FBL from any competition.
• Merger would help FBL to increase its customer base and pan India presence.
Bears Say:
• Major concern is over the duplication of branches. CSB has its major presence in Kerala same as FBL. But the concern
would be only over branches in rural areas, which are about 60 branches. This would be taken care by way of relocation
or closer of branches.
• The value which FBL pays for the take–over will be a concern.
FBL has consistently given good performance. We expect FBL will continue registering a good show of performance based on
the steps taken from time to time to upgrade the banking operations and improve efficiency.
• Total business for FBL has been growing at the rate of ~20% and going forward we expect it to grow by 21% and
22% for 2010 and 2011.
• Bank is increasing its branch presence and recruiting new employees to tap new markets and to retain and enhance good
relationship with the existing customers.
• It is offering better and more convenient facilities.
• Trained Relationship Manager (RM) teams to provide customers timely and convenient services.
