Riding on the back of incremental accretion of low cost deposits, ING Vysya Bank managed to grow its advance book by 22% in 1QFY09, despite some shortage of capital. ING Vysya Bank raised capital to the tune of Rs 3.5 bn in 3QFY08, which improved the capital adequacy ratio of the bank from 10.7% to 12.2%. The CAR, however, stood at 10.4% at the end of 1QFY09 and may not support high growth rates for long. Nonetheless, the bank continued in its attempt to catch up with its peers in the private sector. Further the fact that it has been able to retain its CASA (low cost deposits) proportion at 29.7% is also enthusing, which helped the bank improve its net interest margin (NIMs) to 2.8% (2.7% in 1QFY08).
(Rs m) | 1QFY08 | % of total | 1QFY09 | % of total | Change |
Advances | 118,100 | 144,330 | 22.2% | ||
Deposits | 164,870 | 203,810 | 23.6% | ||

Having the blemish of bearing one of the highest cost to income ratio in the sector, ING Vysya has effectively put an effort on this front and pared the ratio from 71% in 1QFY08 to 64% in 1QFY09. This is despite the fact that the bank opened 10 new branches and 66 new ATMs during the last 12 months. The same, however, continues to stay well above that of private sector banks and some PSU banks. Employee costs comprised 49% of the bank’s operating costs in 1QFY09. The bank has also started providing for AS-15 on a pro-rata basis. ING Vysya has recently got RBI licences to open 56 new branches and 100 ATMs.
The bank also managed to improve its asset quality both in absolute and percentage terms and maintained the net NPA level at 0.8% of advances (as was the case in 1QFY08).
Other income for 1QFY09 registered a growth of 49% YoY, driven by strong growth of fee income in both retail and wholesale segments. The proportion of ING’s fee income is, however, lower than that of its peers. The extraordinary income in the first quarter of FY08 was due to profit on sale of a non-banking asset.
