1
tenth sequential quarter of PAT growth and return on assets
improved significantly to 1.15% from 0.99% in the quarter
ending March 2011.
Net Interest Income (NII) for the quarter increased by 19.0%
to Rs. 319.2 crores from Rs. 268.3 crores. The Net Interest
Margins (NIM) remained steady at 3.29% in Q4 FY12 despite the
elevated interest rate environment. Other income increased by
15.4% to Rs. 196.8 crores and total income increased by 17.6%
to Rs. 516.0 crores. Operating costs for the quarter remained
flat at Rs. 295.7 crores (however there was a one time impact
on account of charge towards second pension and gratuity in
the quarter ending March
2011 ) in the quarter ending March 2012. Operating profit
increased by 53.9% to Rs. 220.3 crores and cost income ratio
improved to 57.3% from 67.4% . While provisions and
contingencies were higher at Rs. 56.6 crores, a large part of
this was to further enhance the provision coverage from 83.4%
to a "best in class"
90.7%. Gross NPA ratio and Net NPA ratio improved to 1.92%
and 0.18% respectively as at 31 March
2012 compared to 2.30% and 0.39% respectively as at 31 March
2011. This is the eighth consecutive quarter of improvement
in Gross NPA and provision coverage ratio. The effective rate
of tax during the quarter was lower due to the Bank claiming
the deduction allowed on lending to infrastructure and other
sectors under Section 36(1)(viii) of the Indian Income Tax
Act 1961. This deduction has been claimed on a cumulative
basis from the financial year ended March 2008.
The Net Profit (PAT) of the Bank for the year ended 31 March
2012 increased by 43.2% to Rs. 456.3 crores from Rs. 318.7

31 March 2011. Operating costs increased to
Rs. 1,110.2 crores from Rs. 1,026.0 crores for the same
period. Operating profit increased by 20.8% to Rs.
767.9 crores from Rs. 635.5 crores. The improvement in asset
quality led to sharp reduction in provisions & contingencies
at Rs. 113.7 crores from Rs. 151.6 crores in the previous
year. There was a sharp improvement in Return on assets to
1.09% from 0.89% for the year ended March 2011.
Commenting on the results, Managing Director, Shailendra
Bhandari said :"We had another great year, where we have
achieved our targets of growing faster than market with
better asset quality. We have grown gross advances at 21.6%
and deposits at 16.6%. Our asset quality has continued to
improve despite a tough macro economic environment with Gross
NPA at 1.92%, Net NPA at 0.18% and provision cover at 90.7%."

Other Developments

ING Vysya Bank continues to innovate new products to make
banking easier for its customers and several such products
were launched during the last quarter.
The Bank launched India's first multi currency pre-paid forex
travel card. The card is currently available in five foreign
currencies - US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Australian
Dollar and Japanese Yen. The ING Visa Platinum Multi Currency
card is a prepaid card designed to offer travellers unmatched
convenience and a secure way to carry money when traveling
abroad. For the first time, an Indian traveller can load five
3
different foreign currencies on a single Visa Prepaid card
and lock in the currency exchange rates. Travellers can
benefit against frequent currency fluctuations by locking in
currency conversion rates while purchasing the card in India
before they travel.
During the quarter the Bank rolled out Easyp@y cards, a
current account linked card specially designed for corporate
customers, which will enable withdrawal of pre-defined value
of cash through the ATM network of banks in India. Corporates
can meet petty cash requirements of its offices by issuing
Easyp@y cards to each of its offices, thus obviating the need
for maintaining cash balances.
The Bank also launched ING Kisan card, India's first ATM card
facility meant exclusively for farmers, linked to their Kisan
Credit Card accounts. This card will facilitate farmers to
avail their sanctioned loan / limit through an electronic
card with easy access to withdrawal of cash through the ATM
network operated by banks in India. The most striking feature
of ING Kisan Card, rolled out initially in the North, would
be the interest rate savings since the customer starts paying
interest only on the swiped or availed amount.
Continuing its energy conservation agenda, ING Vysya Bank
launched a campaign through emails, posters and outdoor
advertising campaigns to promote Earth Hour, a global
programme organized by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and
held on the last Saturday of March annually. Earth Hour urges
households and businesses to turn off their non-essential
lights for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take
action on climate change. The Bank also launched an online
game Switch Off and Save (www.ingvysyabank.com/earthhour) for
promoting awareness around Earth Hour, which was held on
31
March 2012. Over the last three years the Bank has rolled out
several energy saving measures and managed to save up to
670,000 units of energy.
