Allahabad Bank shelves rights issue
Posted by :

KOLKATA: Allahabad Bank has put its rights issue on the backburner.
The board of directors had in June okayed a Rs 149 crore rights issue, a move that would have allowed the bank to raise capital without diluting the government`s holding.
The government holds 55% in the bank, very close to the minimum 51% it is mandated to hold in public sector banks.
Now, however, the bank has decided to put the issue on ice.
K R Kamath, chairman and MD, said: "Only SBI has been allowed the rights issue. We are not too clear about our case. And in any case, we are not keen on diluting government holding at this juncture."
The bank also believes it`s headroom -- Rs 2,500 crore -- is enough to maintain a capital adequacy ratio at 11% over the next two years. Kamath said: "Our CAR is at 11.68% keeping Basel II in mind." He added the bank would raise requisite capital as and when needed.
Meanwhile, the bank is targeting a credit growth of about 20% this fiscal. On the deposit side, overall core deposits, excluding bulk deposits, have been growing at 18%.
Meanwhile, Universal Sompo General Insurance will hit the market with its entire gamut of cover products from November. It is gunning for a premium of Rs 400 crore in three years.
The insurer hopes to rake in 60% of its business from the motor and health portfolio, keeping in mind the massive discounting and drop in premiums witnessed in the fire and engineering segments.
On Friday, the company signed a distribution agreement with Allahabad Bank for distribution of its products from the bank’s branches.
Allahabad Bank is a stakeholder in Universal Sompo, a JV that also includes Indian Overseas Bank, Karnataka Bank, Dabur Investments and Sompo Japan Insurance.
While the Japan-based Sompo holds 26% — the maximum allowed for foreign players — Allahabad Bank has a 30% stake. Indian Overseas Bank and Karnataka Bank have 19% and 15% respectively, and Dabur Investments holds the balance 10%.
O N Singh, chairman, Universal Sompo said, “We are aiming at a total premium of Rs 50 crore by the close of the fiscal. In three years, we would be ending at Rs 400 crore.”
A capital of Rs 238 crore would be sufficient to carry on business for 5-6 years, he added.
A late entrant, it is betting on bancassurance — its partner banks have a network of around 4,000 branches — to hawk policies. “We have three banking partners and globally, both loss and claim ratio from bancassurance happens to be the lowest,” Singh said.
The company plans to launch a bouquet of 30 products.

Allahabad Bank eyes 20 per cent loan growth
Posted by : latikavTracked by: 0 Boarder
KOLKATA: The city-based public sector Allahabad Bank is targeting a growth of 20 per cent in its loan portfolio and 17 per cent in deposit this f
iscal, a top company official said here Friday.
"We are looking at 20 per cent loan growth and 17 per cent deposit growth. The loan growth will be sourced from small and medium enterprises, steel, cement and commercial real estate sectors," the bank`s chairman and managing director K.R. Kamath told reporters at a press meet.
The bank plans to maintain the net interest margin at 2.75 per cent and the capital adequacy ratio at 11 per cent during the current fiscal, he said.
Though the bank has headroom of Rs.25 billion, it does not plan to raise any capital now, Kamath said.
He also ruled out a rights issue, saying: "We are not keen on diluting holdings right now."
The bank will now remain focused on national operations, Kamath said, adding: "Looking at the current volatile international market situation we will remain cautious of any international operations."
Kamath said his bank was targeting a premium income of Rs.4 billion annually from general insurance business set up in partnership with other banks and financial institutions, after three years.
The partnership business, Universal Sompo General Insurance Co (USGICL), is a joint venture company between Allahabad Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, and private sector players Karnataka Bank, Dabur Investment Corp and Sompo Japan Insurance Inc.
This insurance company was soft-launched initially with two products, Fire and Aapat Suraksha, in February.
At present, it has a premium income of Rs.12.5 million, he said. The company got approval for 30 products from Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) and will start launching these products shortly.
Allahabad Bank Friday signed distribution agreement with USGICL for distribution of the joint venture`s general insurance products to its customers from Nov 1. "Bancassurance will be our major thrust area," Kamath said.

I too have the same opinion but did u see the latest movemnet. Syndicate bank is 65.95 and Allahabad bank is 65.20. But this was not the case a few weeks back. Allahabad bank used to be higher than Syndicate bank. Do u feel that one should shift to syndicate bank or remain in Allahabad bank for the near term.

What should I do now with Allahabad Bank
Posted by : ZeeNutTracked by: 0 Boarder
It has been one of the better performing banks in the last 2 years. This year a higher base + higher MTM losses have depressed numbers, but once rates take a downward trend & MTM losses are reversed, it will get better valuations....

Hold!! it's a hold and sit back for lifetime stock (Also it's a PSU).... just think in this way that you have invested in government bond and if you see the trend of this stock for last 5 years it has given 1-1.5 % more yield then governmentbond . So don't worry about short term market reaction.More over you are saving tax charges. So never think in about markets when you have a stock which is secure for lifetime . Instead avoid investing in stock which has a potential to drown ur money forever.
