INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
WORKING CAPITAL:
Every Enterprise namely company/firm/individual requires money to meet the day to day
business operations, for purchasing stocks and for acquiring raw materials for processing and
conversion to finished good Banks provide finance to purchase inventory directly by providing
funded limits or by issuing letter of credit or Bank Guarantee. Bank also provides receivables
finance to provide liquidity to the customers
Of all the elements that go into a business, credit is perhaps the most crucial. The best of plans
can come to naught if adequate finance not available at the right time. SSIs need credit support
not only for running the enterprise & operational requirements but also for diversification,
modernization' up gradation of facilities, capacity, expansion etc. In respect of SSIS, the problem
of credit becomes all the more critical whenever any episodic event occurs such as a large order,
rejection of
consignment, inordinate delay in payment etc. In general, SSIs operate on tight budgets, often
financed through owner's own contribution, loans from friends and relatives and some bank
credit.
FACILITIES IN NUTSHELL:
Fonded Limit - Bank provides funded limit for purchasing stock-in-trade to traders, for
purchasing raw materials to manufacturers. Receivables finance to traders/manufacturers is also
provided by the banks.

to suppliers/ Government Departments for the procurement of raw materials or services on credit
or deferred payment of taxes. Both the above facilities are provides both in Indian rupees and
Foreign currency.

CHAPTER 3
SCOPE OF STUDY
The present study is confined to only India Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation
of India (ICICI), An Indian Financial Institution.
The facts of Working Capital management has been analyzed taking into consideration
the information both past and present with respect to performance of the company.
The prime importance of the study is to analyse the maintenance of working capital.
This study is purely based on secondary data which is given by the firm.
CHAPTER 4
IMPORTANCE OF STUDY
IMPORTANCE OF STUDY
To meet day to day requirement during period of its operating cycle in no business
enterprise, production, sale and realization are instantaneous. There is always some time
gap between these stages the more this time, gap, the more the amount of working capital
required to produce a given output.
To make the optimum use of plant and machinery for purposes of full capacity
utilization, the output must be increased beyond the breakeven point. For this purpose,
the working capital needed for such items as labour, raw material etc., also goes up
Determinants of working capital:
The requirement of working capital may go or may even go down, depending upon a number
of internal factor and external factor.
A) INTERNAL FACTOR
These factors are those which fall within the control of management.
1) Inventory turnover:-
The great the number of times the inventory is sold and replaced, the lower is the amount of
working capital required. An effective inventories control is necessary to maintaining right
amount, right kind and right quality of inventories an efficient inventory program result in higher
rate of inventory-turnover.
Time taken in conversion of receivables into cash also determines the amount of working capital
required. If less time is taken in collection of receivables, the requirement of working capital will
be lower. Effective control of receivables is accomplished by wiser extortion, terms of sale,
business customer relationship and maximum collection.
B) External factor:-
The factors are those which fall outside the control of management improvement from these
factors is as follows.
The amount of working capital is directly related to the time taken by the enterprises in the
process of production. The longer the time required for the manufacture of the goods or longer
the time required obtaining the goods, the large is the requirement of working capital The reason
is that a longer amount of inventory remains tied up in its manufacture
Beside the nature of business cyclical and seasonal changes also influence the size and
behaviours of working capital. During the upswing of cycle and the busy season there is usually
a need for longer amount of working capital to cover the lug between increased sale and receipts.
The cyclical and seasonal changes affected the size of working capital though inventory
stockThus we find that external and internal factors influence the requirement of working capital
of on enterprise. Consequently the policy regarding size of working capital must take into
account external as well internal expediency, but the management towards the risk and the
operational requirement of business have greater impact on the size of working capital.
CHAPTER 5
OBJECTIVES OF THE
STUDY
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
ICICI Bank's Green initiative is to make healthy environment in the organization to create
intrapersonal skills among the customer and understanding between employees of the
organization.

For in finance we cannot ask information to everyone regarding finance we should concern the
person who is aware about the company finance so that I have used non random sampling under
this i have used judgment method to collect data. I have gathered data by judgment I have
concerned the one those who aware about company company's working capital i.e. debtors,
creditors, receivables payables stock cycle etc.
4) Statistically Tools
The working capital ratio is a measure of liquidity, revealing whether a business can pay its
obligations. The ratio is the relative proportion of an entity's current assets to its current
liabilities, and shows the ability of a business to pay for its current liabilities with its current
assets.To calculate the working capital ratio, divide all current assets by all current liabilities.
Research (NCEAR) in 1966 first time formal study was conducted on working capital
management in India. The council published the main objective of this study was emphasized to
come out with findings that working capital management practices were extremely unplanned and
hence need to develop proper accounting policies like inventory management, debtor's
management as above. And the study suggested developing suitable working capital policies
required in the success of business.
Bhatt V. V. (1972):He has given concentration on the system to appraise working capital
management and its finances specially for the large scale companies. These tools are also helpful
to other sectors like agriculture as well retail trade etc. As banks provide short term finance to
operation of business at the same time they need to pay attention to repayment of loans and
required finance needs. If these two areas are to be maintained properly no need to appraise the
working capital management concern.
Smith Keith V. (1973):Research has been given focused on the short term finance need to be
given more attention for the success of the individual firm. For that finance manager has to give
more attention to current assets and current liability. Many firms do investment of current assets
in a basket while current liability in many different requests. This paper consists of eight distinct
approaches to working capital management out of it the first three give common guidelines The
next three regarding constraint set and cost balancing and the last two about probability models
and portfolio constraints set and cost balancing and last two about probability models and
portfolio theory.
Chakraborty S. K. (1974) In this research the author tries to make a difference among cash
working capital v/s balance sheet working capital. And research is based on two dimensions. The
first is the operating cycle concept and the second calculation of the operating cycle period in all
the four cases. The main aim of this research is to exhibit an operating cycle concept based on the
published annual report of the firm.
Misra (1975): Here, in this analysis try to identify the problems of working capital in six public
enterprises for the period of 1960. Importance and findings are here under selected samples of
companies that were not able to utilize working capital efficiently. As well excess inventory level
which shows inappropriate management of inventory. In order delay exchange was made to
foreign exchange and issue of import license. Furthermore, account receivable ratio is very low
because liberal credit policy and inappropriate collection policy. Most of the selected firms were
having huge cash amounts on management accounts and improper and control on cash.
Natarajan Sundar (1980) has been given views on working capital as having immense
importance at both, the national as well business level. To keep control of working capital at the
national level by controlling credit controls.In practice efficient working capital includes to
determine the best suitable level of working capital, financing it and control over it. If we talked
about corporate level investment is important in both case short term investment and fixed assets.
And that can be possible many companies not surviving as well not incurring profit because of not
efficiently managing the working capital. Thus, cost management with improved operational
nefficiency, and that aspect working capital is very important to be managed in the proper way.
Rajeshwar (1985): He has done the study on a few selected public enterprises in India. He tried
to check the working capital policies adopted by the sample units. He made an attempt to examine
the working capital components and how efficiently managed. At last no one company clearly
defined working capital polices and hence most of them could not achieve efficiency in working
capital management. In this study it is found that the majority of investment was made in finished
goods inventory that was indicated that working capital was not managed in a planned way. Thus,
study is recommended for careful management of working capital in finance management.
Rao K.V. and RaoChinta (1991): This study observed the strong and weak point of conventional
techniques of working capital analysis. Outcomes of this study show some techniques of working
capital analysis. Outcomes of this study show that some of the conventional techniques which
could realize the working capital behaviour well. And some of them fail to do so. And thus
authors suggest proper working capital management with conventional method i.e. ratio analysis.
Study suggests further inclusive factors which are decisive yardsticks in working capital
efficiency.
Fazzari Steven M. and Petersen Bruce C. (1993) Research has put light on financial restraint on
investment by giving focus the ignoring role of working capital in both as use and source of funds.
As per the views of author liquidity can be maintained by maintaining working capital in a smooth
manner means to be investment in a manner which does not create cash flow constraints. Through
the research found that working capital investment should be"excessively sensitive" with
summing up that controlling on smoothing working capital creates a long- term impact of finance
constraints and reported in many other studies also.
Siddharth and Das (1994):Siddhartha and Das has been done study on "Working Capital
Turnover in Pharmaceutical companies" tried to determine efficient use of working capital in
selected pharmaceutical firms in India. 10 years data has been concluded that overall turnover
ratio was 90.3 time. the finely analysis of the data shows that the selected companies has done
well in terms of employment of working capital.Furthermore, study discovered the working
capital turnover ratio cried off staidly over the stage from 1981 1990.
Vijayakumar and Venkatachalam (1995): This study was made on observed analysis in
working capital and profitability. The study was carried out with 13 firms belonging to the sugar
industry for the 10 years period from 19821983 to 1991-92. The correlation and regression
statistical method has been used to analyse the impact of working capital ratios on profitability. In
this study a total of four ratios have been taken into consideration; Liquidity ratio, inventory
turnover ratio, receivable turnover ratio and cash turnover ratio. The discovery of the study said
that liquid ratio and cash turnover ratio have a harmful impact on profitability on the other hand
inventory turnover ratio and receivables have a positive impact on profitability.
Refuse (1996): The article stressed on working capital enhancement by halting payment of
creditors. That was clear many UK companies delayed payment for the long period. Very
surprisingly the story revelled in 1994 by the Forum for Private Business, that was a small
business association, and reverse side 50 days before payment of debtors were paid beyond the
due date. This article is stressed to maintain a healthy and close relationship among suppliers and
customers. The discovery of the study warranted the firms to reduce inventory level as fast as the
discovery of the study warranted the firms to reduce inventory level as fast as possible in order to
increase the profit of the firms. Another fact of study was that control over working capital
responsibility goes on the head of the finance manager.
Swami (1997): Swami did research with 19 key agricultural areas in the contour of Dakshina
Kannada district in Karnataka. The research exposed that maintenance of liquidity and
profitability is a major problem in the targeted area. To be safe inside of working capital
management were found to be suffered and low profitability due to the interest burden. The
effects of these firms raised the fund for working capital requirements by borrowing funds from
depositors. This study has been given stress on proper management of working capital so the
future of business would be bright. Hossain Faizan and Akon Md. Habibur Rahman (1997) the
main objective of this study is to maintain working capital in proper way. I.e. time of fund
requirement, amount of fund and from where to raise funds to be maintained so it is possible to
acquire trade off among liquidity and profitability. The analysis showed that BTMC had followed
aggressive working capital policy by taking the risk of liquidity. The study analysed that the
company continuously raised trends in negative net working capital during the period of the study.
That was suggested to BTMC not to raise only funds from long term sources instead by
understating the Source instead by understating the requirement of funds needed to take a short
term source also.
Ahmed Habib (1998): This study is estimated to be the interest rate of funds reducing money
power on output. For the study rational expectation model is used to find out the relation between
production decisions and debt finance. As a working capital having immense important factors
and its cost, the rate of interest, affects the supply of goods, this study revealed that this model
helps to identify the alarming situation when interest rate is used. This model also revealed the
effects of monetary policy on the price level and supply side.
Garg Pawan Kumar (1999): This study was done in the selected public sector firms of Haryana
study related to working capital and liquidity analysis. The analysis of the study says that
forecasting of working capital necessity is constrained on different factors. After realizing the
facts like the needs of working capital in public sectors. According to that, I need to analyse the
production schedule, labour cost, sales trend etc. furthermore, the suggestion is to manage other
components of working capital.
CHAPTER 8
IMPORTANCE OF
DEFINITION
INTRODUCTION
It has been often observed that the shortage of working capital leads to the failure of a
business. The proper management of working capital may bring about the success of a business
firm. The management of working capital includes the management of current assets and current
liabilities. A few companies for the past few years have been finding it difficult to solve the
increasing problems of adopting seriously the management of working capital. A firm may exist
without making profits but cannot survive without liquidity. The function of working capital
management in an organization is similar to that of the heart in a human body. Also, it is an
important function of financial management. The financial manager must determine the
satisfactory level of working capital funds and the optimum mix of current assets and current
liabilities. He must ensure that the appropriate sources of funds are used to finance working
capital and should also see that short term obligation of the business is met well in time.
DEFINITION OF WORKING CAPITAL "Working Capital is the excess of C.A. over current
liabilities." CONCEPT OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT There are
Current assets - It is rightly observed that "Current assets have a short life span.
These types of assets are engaged in current operation of a business and normally used for short-
term operations of the firm during an accounting period i.e., within twelve months. The two
important characteristics of such assets are, (i) short life span, and (ii) swift transformation into
other forms of assets. Cash balance may be held idle for a week or two; account receivable may
have a life span of 30 to 60 days, and inventories may be held for 30 to 100 days.
Current liabilities - The firm creates a Current Liability towards creditors (sellers) from whom it
has purchased raw materials on credit. This liability is also known as accounts payable and
shown in the balance sheet till the payment has been made to the creditors. The claims or
obligations which are normally expected to mature for payment within an accounting cycle
(1 year) are known as current liabilities. These can be defined as "those liabilities where
liquidation is reasonably expected to require the use of existing resources properly classifiable as
current assets, or the creation of other current assets, or the creation of other current liabilities.
1) Based on periodicity
2) Based on concept Based on periodicity:
The requirements of working capital are continuous. More working capital is required in a
particular season or the peck period of business activity. Based periodicity on working capital
can be divided under two categories as under:
1. Permanent working capital
2. Variable working capital
(a) Permanent working capital: This type of working capital is known as Fixed Working
Capital. Permanent working capital means the part of working capital which is permanently
locked up in the current assets to carry out the business smoothly. The minimum amount of
current assets which is required to conduct the business smoothly during the year is called
permanent working capital. For example, investments required to maintain the minimum stock
of raw materials or to cash balance. The amount of permanent working capital depends upon the
size and growth of the company. Fixed working capital can further be divided into two:
categories as under
1. Regular Working capital: Minimum amount of working capital required to keep the primary
circulation. Some amount of cash is necessary for the payment of wages, salaries etc.
2. Reserve Margin Working capital: Additional working capital may also be required for
contingencies that may arise any time. The reserve working capital is the excess of capital over
the needs of the regular working capital is kept aside as reserve for contingencies, such strike,
business as depression etc.
(b) Variable or Temporary Working Capital: The term variable working capital refers that
the level of working capital is temporary and fluctuating. Variable working capital may change
from one asset to another and changes with the increase or decrease in the volume of business.
The variable working capital may also be subdivided into the following two sub-groups.
1. Seasonal Variable Working capital: Seasonal working capital is the additional amount
which is required during the active business seasons of the year. Raw materials like raw- cotton
or jute or sugarcane are purchased in season. The industry has to borrow funds for a short period.
It is particularly suited to a business of a seasonal nature. In short, seasonal working capital is
required to meet the seasonal liquidity of the business.
2. Special variable working capital: Additional working capital may also be needed to provide
additional current assets to meet the unexpected events or special operations such as extensive
marketing campaigns or carrying of special jobs etc.
THE WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE
The working capital cycle refers to the minimum amount of time which is required to convert
net current assets and net current liabilities into cash. From a more simplistic view point, the
working capital cycle is the amount of time between the payment for goods supplied and the
final receipt of cash accumulated from the sale of the same goods.
There are mainly the following elements of which the working capital cycle comprises:
Cash The cash refers to the funds available for the purchase of goods. The cash refers to the
funds available for the purchase of goods. Maintaining a healthy level of liquidity with some
buffers is always a best practice. It is extremely important to maintain and utilize when: reserve
funds which can bebasis There is a shortage of cash inflow for some reason. In the absence of
reserve cash, the day to day business will get hampered.Want Some new opportunities spring up.
In such a case, the absence of reserve cash will pose a hindrance.In case of any contingency,
absence of a reserve fund can cripple the company and poses a threat to the solvency of the firm
Creditors and Debtors.The creditors refer to the accounts payable. It refers to the amount that has
to be paid to suppliers for the purchase of goods and /or services. Debtors refer to the accounts
receivables. It refers to the amount that is collected for providing goods and/or services.
Inventory Inventory refers to the stock in hand. Inventories are an integral component of
working capital and careful planning, and proper investment is necessary to maintain the
inventory in a healthy state of affairs. Management of inventory has two aspects and involves a
trade-off between cost and risk factors. Maintaining a sizable inventory has its accompanying
costs that include locking of funds, increased maintenance and documentation cost
and increased cost of storage. Apart from these things, there is also a chance of damage to the
stored goods. On the other hand, maintaining a small inventory can disrupt the business lifecycle
and can have serious impacts on the delivery schedule. As a result, it is extremely important to
maintain the inventory at optimum levels which can be arrived at after careful analysis and a bit
of experimentation.
Sourcing of raw material: Sourcing of raw material is the beginning point for most businesses.
It should be ensured that the raw materials that are necessary for producing the desired goods are
available at all times. In a healthy working capital cycle, production ideally should never stop
because of the shortage of raw materials.
Production planning: Production planning is another important aspect that needs to be
addressed. It should be ensured that all the conditions that are necessary for the production to
start are met. A carefully constructed plan needs to be present in order to mitigate the risks and
avert unforeseen issues. Proper planning of production is essential for the production of goods or
services and is one of the basic principles that must be followed to achieve smooth functioning
of the entire production lifecycle.
Selling: Selling the produced goods as soon as possible is another objective that should be
pursued with utmost urgency. Once the goods are produced and are moved into the inventory,
the focus should be on selling the goods as soon aspossible.
Payouts and collections: The accounts receivables need to be collected on time in order to
maintain the flow of cash. It is also extremely important to ensure timely payouts to the creditors
to ensure smooth functioning of the business.
Liquidity: Maintaining the liquidity along with some room for adjustments is another important
aspect that needs to be kept in mind for the smooth functioning of the working capital cycle.
The Working capital cycle refers to the length of time between the firms paying cash for
materials etc., entering to the production process/stock and inflow of cash from debtors (sale)

working capital cycle helps in the forecast contra and management of Working capital The
working capital cycle consists of following events which out the life of business
OPERATING CYCLE = R + W + F + D - C
R = 10 days

DATA ANALYSIS AND
INTERPRETATION
WC = Current assets – current liabilities Current Ratio A current ratio that is in line with the
industry average or slightly higher is generally considered acceptable. A current ratio that is
lower than the industry average may indicate a higher risk of distress or default. Similarly, if a
company has a very high current ratio compared to its peer group, it indicates that management
may not be using its assets efficiently.The current ratio is called "current" because, unlike some
other liquidity ratios, it incorporates all current assets and current liabilities. The current ratio is
sometimes
called the working capital ratio. Formulae Cr =current assets/current liabilities Interpretation
From the table and the graph showing the current ratio for the past 3 years. In 2017-18 the
current ratio is 1.574, In 2018-19 and In 2019-20 i.e.1.571,In the year 2019 the current liabilities
position increased when compared to the remaining year the current ratio showing highest in the
year 2018.

C) Receivables:-
Receivables hold a working capital peace in the structure of working capital. These arise out of
the delivery of good or rendering of services on credit and include,
a) Customer account

NAME OF BANKS
From the chart we can make a conclusion that the banks offer structured products and are also
flexible to cater different customers’ needs and hence also offers unstructured products. But the
degree, to which these differences are, depends on the policies of the respective banks.
As per the chart, we can make out that SBI is giving more of structured Products while HDFC is
more into unstructured products depending on the needs of the customers
Question 2: Analysis of the amount range of working capital given by the banks.
UTI SSI
This method implies a structure of capital where current assets are mainly financed with long-
term assets that are mainly financed with long-term liabilities. The aggressive approach requires
a different balance-sheet structure. In this method "the company finances all of its fixed assets
with long-term capital but part of its permanent current assets with short-term credit" (Van
Horne & Wachowicz, 1980).
Under this policy, the firm has low or no long-term capital invested in current assets.
Comparing the two strategies, the aggressive approach requires lower working capital
investment and expects higher profitability with a higher risk implied. "A company that uses a
more short-term source of finance and less long-term source of finance will incur less costs but
with a corresponding high risk. This has the effect of increasing its profitability but with a
potential risk of facing liquidity problems, should such short-term sources of finance be
withdrawn or renewed on unfavourable terms"
(Al-Shubiri, 2011). An Integrated Approach to Working Capital Management The solution to the
long-term and reduction of the operating capital bound to the company is a holistic approach and
fixes the optimization of working capital management on three basic business processes running
within the company In addition to the large number of process managers involved, the
competing objectives are more difficult for a holistic working capital management. The figure
shows that sales are the main responsibility for the "Order-to-Cash" process. Controlling has a
supporting function by measuring and controlling the performance of receivables. The
"Purchase- to-Pay" process is characterized above all by purchasing, while the controlling
function also has a supporting function. The "Forecast-to-Fulfill" is characterized by a large
number of involved process partners. Purchasing and materials management are responsible for
the storage of raw materials and supplies. Through the production/assembly, inventories of work
in progress are affected before the finished products and spare parts are controlled by the sales
department as well as after-sales . When taking into account all three components of working
capital management, it becomes clear that the driving forces of working capital performance are
more operational than financial. This is clearly illustrated by the example of a company that has
problems with the collection of claims. Even if this problem could be traced back to
unsuccessful staff, a lot of other causes could be blamed.
A supplier might, for example, supply the company with faulty components that have an
impact on the quality of the company's products, which will annoy customers and cause them to
withhold payments. Perhaps the salesperson has promised unpaid longer terms of payment,
without, however, communicating to the responsible finance department. Or the dispatch
department does not keep the dates so that the customers receive the deliveries late. If these
transactions are not recorded in the books accordingly, corrective measure purchases, which are
restricted to the debt collection department, are likely to create the desired remedy. Another
example shows the influence of different departments in the company on the expression of
common control parameters such as Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). Often, the sales figures
measured by the DSO show a significantly higher value than would allow the average payment
periods granted to customers. This is often the responsibility of the finance and accounting
department as a supposedly responsible payment processing center. However, it is not
uncommon that only a fraction of the measured overhang times really have their origin in the
finance and accounting department. In addition to this, not infrequent periods of delay outside
the area of responsibility and the scope of finance and accounting are caused by price fixing
errors, unclearly agreed payment periods, product complaints and subsequent discounts, credit
notes and unpaid partial payments or invoices or confirmations not submitted internally, all lead
to retroactive and time-consuming accounting and problems in finance and accounting. This is
where the integrated working capital management begins, in which it incorporates the entire
value chain.
RESPONDING TO COVID-19 ICICI BANK’S RESPONSE TO COVID-19
We were responsive to the evolving pandemic situation. We rolled out digital solutions,
enabled remote working and ensured banking services were offered seamlessly during the
lockdown period. We are committed to supporting our stakeholders through the challenging
environment. Employees
• Employee safety and well-being was of utmost priority, and we took care to provide a safe and
healthy work environment, along with extending support to employees.
• The Bank acted rapidly to establish remote working solutions, and putting in place measures to
enable smooth functioning from any location; nearly 40% of the employees were enabled to
work from home at the onset of the pandemic.
• We upgraded the Universe on the Move mobile application for employees, facilitating
functions like access to emergency numbers, a wellness hub, scheduled meetings and approvals
to be carried out remotely and for the management to communicate with employees.
• The Bank supported Covid-affected employees and their families through measures such as
enabling medical e-consultation, assisting in quarantine and hospitalisation. We have also started
a programme to vaccinate, as well as reimburse the cost of vaccination against Covid-19 for our
employees and their dependents. Transparent plexiglass partitions provided across branches for
the safety of employees and customers.
COVID-19 The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in countries announcing lockdown and
quarantine measures that sharply stalled economic activity. The Government of India initiated a
nation-wide lockdown from March 25, 2020 for three weeks which was extended to May 31,
2020. This created significant challenges for employees, customers, communities and
businesses. The lockdown measures were gradually eased from June 2020 leading to economic
activities progressively improving towards the later part of fiscal 2021. However, a second wave
of the Covid-19 pandemic emerged in India since March 2021, where the number of new cases
has increased significantly and has resulted in re-imposition of localised/regional lockdown
measures in various parts of the country. Challenging Operating Environment India’s Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) declined during fiscal 2021, with contraction in industrial and services
output. A strong agricultural output along with limited spread of the pandemic led to resilience
in the rural economy. The banking system was impacted by lower lending opportunities and
revenues, and an increase in credit costs. While rapid improvement in economic activity was
seen towards the later part of the year, the second wave of Covid-19 since March 2021 saw the
re-emergence of uncertainties towards the end of fiscal 2021. Unprecedented Policy Measures
Low interest rates, provision of ample systemic liquidity, moratorium on loan repayments for
specific borrower segments, asset classification standstill benefit to overdue accounts where a
moratorium was granted, resolution framework for stressed assets and relaxation in liquidity
coverage requirement were some of the measures announced by the Reserve Bank of India. The
Government announced direct benefit transfers to vulnerable economic segments and credit
guarantee schemes for micro, small and medium enterprises, among others.
• Innovative digital solutions were launched and features enhanced in existing products, while
encouraging customers to use digital channels for their banking requirements.
• We launched ICICI STACK in March 2020 to enable banking on a digital platform for all
types of customers.
• We ensured uninterrupted access to services and kept our branches accessible at most
Locations.
• The ICICI Group committed `1.00 billion towards Covid-19 relief efforts. The Bank
contributed `500.0 million to PM CARES Fund and undertook direct spends of about 210.0
million.
• The Bank and ICICI Foundation supported efforts on the ground to provide essential materials
during the lockdown period covering over 550 districts, and also undertook initiatives to support
migrant workers returning to their homes in rural areas. We continued to deliver on our
objectives Despite the challenging environment, the Bank’s financial position remained strong
• We continued to focus on risk-calibrated growth in core operating profit; which grew by 16.9%
year-on-year to `313.51 billion.
• We continued to strengthen our deposit franchise; average current account deposits increased
by 25.5% and average savings account deposits by 16.7% during fiscal 2021. Total deposits
grew by 21%.
• We grew our loan portfolio with a focus on diversification and granularity; the proportion of
retail loans to total loans, including non-fund outstanding, was 55% at March 31, 2021.
• Our focus on leveraging digital across our businesses saw significant results. The ICICI
STACK, our upgraded mobile banking app iMobile Pay and our InstaBIZ platform for small
business customers saw significant adoption and contributed to the growth in our business.
• We focussed on protecting the balance sheet from potential risks. We were proactive in
provisioning and also made the provisioning policy more conservative in fiscal 2021. Our
provisioning coverage ratio on NPAs was 77.7% at March 31, 2021. This excludes the Covid-19
related provisions of about 1% of loans, held by the Bank
