I feel like we already don’t have much choice as it is now. But if you concentrate all of that wealth and power into the hands of five or six megabanks, and it’s like, these are your options, take it or leave it, you can get thrown out onto the ice of Gotham.

To make India an 5 Trillion Dollars country, Nirmala Sitharaman  Builds Next generation banks by merging 10 Banks.

Nirmala Sitharaman has said that it is necessary to have next generation banks in the coming five years to make the country an economy of five trillion dollars. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced merger of 10 state-owned banks in the country. After this Mahavilaya, 12 government banks will survive from the existing 27 public banks. This merger will affect the customers who will have savings account or fixed deposits in these banks. Customers may have to change the checkbook first and then many more changes. New Delhi : - The Finance Minister has announced the merger of 10 banks, after which only 12 state-owned banks will be left in place of the existing 27 banks. This bank of banks will have a big impact on the customers who have savings accounts or fixed deposits in these banks.

To make India an 5 Trillion Dollars country, Nirmala Sitharaman  Builds Next generation banks by merging 10 Banks. India 24x7 News The Finance Minister said in a press conference here on Friday that after the merger the number of state-run banks will be reduced from 27 to 12. Six small state-run banks have already merged with State Bank of India and Vijaya Bank, Dena Bank and Bank of Baroda. Thus, after the merger of SBI and Bank of Baroda, 10 state-run banks have already transformed into two big banks. Nirmala Sitharaman has said that it is necessary to have next generation banks in the coming five years to make the country an economy of five trillion dollars. Let us talk about the effect of these mergers : - 1. Must change checkbook First of all, get ready to change your checkbook, because many banks are going to merge. Although existing checkbooks are valid for some time, they eventually have to be replaced by the check book of the bank the bank merged with. 2. Change in Account Number, Customer ID You can get a new account number and customer ID. Make sure that your email address and mobile number are updated with the bank, so that you can get instant information about any change. All your accounts will be tagged with an ID. For example, if you have an account with Vijaya Bank and another Dena Bank, a customer ID will be allotted for both accounts. 3. Update details with third parties Customers who have been allotted new account numbers or IFSC codes will have to update these details with various third party entities. These include Income Tax Department, Insurance Companies, Mutual Funds and National Pension System (NPS). 4. New ECS, SIP Instructions After the merger, the entity must clear all Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) instructions and post dated checks. Contact your bank, fund house and insurance company and issue new ECS instructions. If needed, you have to fill the ECS related form online or through your branch. For Auto Debit or Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) you may have to fill a new SIP registration and instruction form. The same will have to be done for the EMI of the loan. 5. Local branch may be closed Some branches of the bank may be closed and customers may have to move to a new branch. For example, your existing home branch may be closed when the acquiring bank has its own branch nearby. Keep in mind the new IFSC and MICR codes applicable to your branch as you will need these for fund transfers and other financial transactions. Bank of Baroda, Dena and Vijaya Bank merger approved Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while talking about new merger in banks, said that the ability to give loans from big banks increases. The merger of Punjab National Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank will make it the second largest bank in the country. The bank, formed by the merger of PNB, Oriental Bank of Commerce and United Bank, will have a turnover of Rs 17.95 lakh crore and will have 11,437 branches.

Financial Analysis & Impact of HDFC - HDFC Bank Merger

HDFC Bank and HDFC Ltd on 4th April 2022, announced the merger of both the entities thus setting the stage for one of the biggest deals in the Indian financial sector. The announcement of the merger resulted in a huge surge in the two firms' share values and showed a 7% bullish nature in early trading hours.

According to HDFC Bank, the transaction is expected to close within the next 18 months, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

India's largest housing finance firm, with ₹5.26 trillion in assets under management (AUM) and a market capitalization of ₹4.44 trillion, would merge with HDFC Bank, India's largest private sector bank by assets and a market capitalization of ₹8.35 trillion.

What is the share swap ratio of the merger?

Shareholders of HDFC Limited, as of the record date, will be given 42 shares of HDFC Bank for 25 shares of HDFC Limited.

How will the ownership change?

Following the merger, HDFC Limited's stake in HDFC Bank will be erased, HDFC Bank would be held entirely by public shareholders and 41% of HDFC Bank will be owned by Existing HDFC Limited shareholders.

How will the merger benefit the two entities?

While this will boost the firm’s capability to cross-sell products to a bigger client base, it will also aid them to utilise distribution across urban, semi-urban, and rural areas. This combined balance sheet of  ₹17.87 trillion and  ₹3.3 trillion net worth will allow for higher scale underwriting.

Management View

Deepak Parekh, Chairman of HDFC Ltd., said that the merger process will be completed in 12-18 months and it will be a merger of equals. He believes that the housing finance business is assured to grow in leaps and bounds due to the RERA implementation, government initiatives and the infrastructure status of the housing sector. Various regulations for banks and NBFCs have been harmonised over the last few years, thereby enabling the potential merger.

He also added that the underwriting of large ticket infrastructure loans, accelerated the pace of credit growth in the economy, boosted affordable housing and increased the quantum of credit to the priority sector, including credit to the agriculture sector would be allowed by the larger balance sheet.

Customers’ interests

What is certain is that the status quo will be maintained until the merger takes effect, which could take anywhere from 12 to 18 months as authorisation will be needed by several agencies including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), Development Authority (PFRDA) and Pension Funds Regulatory and Competition Commission of India (CCI).

According to management, the merger could go into effect in Q3 or Q4 of FY24.  Sashidhar Jagdishan, MD and CEO, HDFC Bank, told Moneycontrol that the rates which HDFC and HDFC Bank depositors are getting will remain the same and there will be a harmonisation of the bank’s card rates after the merger happens. That is after the merger takes place, depositors will be offered the bank's rates.

Borrowers and depositors will be stuck with the status quo until then. Currently, a deposit of fewer than 2 crores with a term of two years and nine months will generate 6.15-6.35 % per year as interest. HDFC Bank offers interest rates of 5.2-5.7% per annum for comparable tenures.

As per HDFC’s distributors, the top officials will be collaborating for smooth working.

HDFC-HDFC Bank merger affecting sectors beyond banking

The effect of the HDFC-HDFC Bank merger will be for the bigger space of the Indian financial sector and will not just be limited to the banking sector. The large finance companies have practically no benefit from regulatory arbitrage. Previously, such a deal between banks and NBFCs was commonplace.

The logic of the merger is very clear — the cost of borrowing for banks is lower. Financing companies, especially house finance companies, must rely on wholesale market funding or bank borrowings, both of which are highly expensive. Above a certain size, it becomes difficult to rely solely on wholesale funding or bank borrowings.

Large finance firms may eventually be turned into banks, subject to the Reserve Bank of India’s comfort and guidelines because the shareholding of many big NBFCs is with large corporations.

As per the market, there will be good cost savings and efficiency for the merged entity, especially on the infrastructure side, after witnessing the behaviour of share prices of HDFC and HDFC Bank. They went ahead with it as they do not see any regulatory issues cropping up for the merger.

Learn What S Ravi, Former BSE Chairman says about Bank Merger

When recently 27 public sector banks merged including the Punjab National Bank, nearly every individual was worried about his savings and even fixed deposits with the public sector banks. As per the announcement made by Sethurathnam Ravi, the amalgamation scheme listed the merger of various popular banks like Indian Bank merged with Allahabad Bank, Canara Bank merged with Syndicate Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and the United Bank of India merged with Punjab National Bank, and lastly, Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank merged with Union Bank. The announcement of the merger came with a huge impact on the 308732 employees of the banks, 37492 domestic branches, 45448 ATM centers, and Rs. 3179304 crore deposits.

However, the impact of the merger is not only limited to all these. It is much more than the figures and facts that are mentioned in the papers. As per the BSE Chairman, these mergers come with a huge impact on the fixed deposit holders, savings account holders, employees, shareholders, borrowers, and the public. The primary aim of these mergers was to create large banks that are more capable of solving financial issues. Also, the merger was introduced to eradicate any kind of disparity between the small banks and large banks, cost savings from compliances and network overlaps, creating large middle management for selecting eligible candidates for the post of CGM, GMs, and DGMs for HR Department, IT department, and Risk management and much more. Overall, the mergers would improve the efficiency of restructuring and decision-making on high-leading banks.

Today, through this piece of information let’s talk about the impact of bank mergers as discussed by Sethurathnam Ravi with some quick points, making it easy to understand.

Any kind of consolidation or merger makes dread among the partners, investors, and the representatives associated with the banks. The serious short-term issues can be taken out with the possibilities of long-term advantages given the consolidation process is consistently executed, with firm yet fine adjusting of partner interests. Also, Unions of the bank employees from different affiliations should be ensured that their skills are united for the development of the new element.

The advantages of the mergers are just accomplished in the medium term to long term as the more grounded banks require critical time, endeavors, and assets to turn around the more fragile monetary records, execute the guide for adjusting HR and foundation like bank branches, bank products, ATMs, and so forth just as the reconciliation of Information Technology which is one of the greatest tests.

Integration is something that seems to be too difficult when such mergers take place. As per the BSE Chairman, coordinating two organizations on various IT stages into a typical one is harder than setting up another bank as each bank has fostered an interesting framework by drawing in with various sellers, henceforth, making a substance that can flawlessly cover all parts of the financial business will consume most of the day.

Another essential thought is to evaluate the lack or abundance of land and expand on an all-encompassing premise so they can be ideally utilized or arranged so inefficient resources are uncashed. Lastly, the banks with various principles and progressions to be welcomed in the total agreement are not meant for accomplishment.

So, when everything is considered like the assets and liabilities, culture, technology, etc., what do you think are the chances of success of any merger? To this, Sethurathnam Ravi answers that the success of any merger relies on the capability of managing the repercussion while supporting the changes. When the merger is used in the form of an unconnected initiative due to a lack of reinforcements that would weaken the primary aim of the merger that results in inefficiency.

As per the BSE Chairman, the collaboration of the strong bank changes should be completely determined to imbue restored good faith among Public Sector Banks which will rely upon the initiative directing the cycle thinking about the mammoth difficulties of taking care of asset incorporation, data innovation stage reconciliation, administrative compliances, dealing with the requests of the Union, boosting the workers, client maintenance, creating specialty items, rebranding, and repositioning and the progression intending to proceed with the endeavors in the present financial slowdown, challenges in the credit development, and control on Non-performing Assets with the public authority giving the necessary catalyst every once in a while.

Henceforth, it can be concluded that merging the banks is not a small task. It needs massive movement and understanding to make sure that everything is working seamlessly.
