Merger deal inked between Kotak Mahindra and Ing-Vysya Bank - Stock Market Pulse

Merger deal between Kotak Mahindra and Ing-Vysya Bank, what’s stored in for you?

Merger deal between the Kotak Mahindra Bank and Ing-Vysya Bank was the biggest news in the stock market. Last week markets touched the all time high, and fueling the rally was merger deal between the Kotak Mahindra Bank and Ing-Vysya Bank. The merger deal will sell the Kotak Mahindra’s lender market value and expand its national presence. Thus putting itself in a better position to compete with rivals such as ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank.

In a all stock deal, Kotak Mahindra will acquire control over ING Vysya Bank, which was announced on Thursday of the past week. ING Vysya Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank were on a roll, hitting their respective 52-week highs on both the exchanges.

Kotak Mahindra Bank and ING Vysya Bank merger deal values at Rs. 16,500 crore. Kotak Mahindra is in the final stages to acquire ING Vysya Bank in a ratio of 2:2.5. For every 1000 shares of ING Vysya, shareholders will get 725 shares of Kotak Mahindra. Thus, the deal values ING-Vysya Bank at Rs ~160bn (Rs 839/sh) i.e. ~3% premium to CMP. The acquisition would lead to ~15% dilution of the merged entity & reduce Kotak Mahindra Bank’s promoter holding to ~34% (vs. ~40.1% now). The merged entity would have 1,214 branches (4th largest amongst PVT Banks), B/S size of Rs 2trn and G/NNPA of 1.6/0.7%.

Some of the benefits for Kotak Mahindra Bank post merger deal:

Increased presence: With the acquisition, Kotak Mahindra Bank’s branch network will almost be doubled without much of a regional overlap. Thus, making Kotak Mahindra Bank to become the 4th largest private bank in India.

Suitable mix for B/S: The acquisition would help Kotak Mahindra Bank to further diversify its loan book with access to ING-Vysya Bank’s forte segment of SME (38% of loans for VYSB vs. 7% for KMB). On the liability side, both the banks have a similar CASA proportion of 31-33%. Further, given INY-Vysya Bank’s low impaired assets and high tier I, the acquisition wouldn’t be a drag for Kotak Mahindra Bank.

Promoters stake to decline to ~34%: Post merger deal Kotak Mahindra Bank will witness ~15% dilution on the enhanced capital. Thus, the acquisition will reduce the promoter’s stake to ~34% and provide sufficient breathing space to meet the RBI time-line of reducing stake to 30% by Dec-16 and to 20% by Mar-18.

Meanwhile ING Vysya shareholders felt that the deal was tilted in the favor of Kotak Mahindra Bank. A clutch of institutional shareholders in ING Vysya Bank were unhappy with the merger swap ratio as they felt the valuation was tilted in the favor of Kotak Mahindra Bank.

Identify Fake Currency Notes - Stock Market Pulse

Identify fake currency notes by following these simple guidelines.

Fake currency notes have no exchange value. These means that if you go to the bank and deposit any fake currency notes, the bank officials would sign it and send it for the further verification. They would not be giving you any exchange money for it. Fake currency notes is a growing menace in the country. So it is very important to check for the genuineness of all the currency notes you receive-specially the larger denominations.

The Reserve Bank of India has the sole authority to issue bank notes in India. Reserve Bank of India, like other central banks the world over, changes the design of banknotes from time to time. The Reserve Bank has introduced banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi Series since 1996. It has so far issued notes in the denominations of Rs.5, Rs.10, Rs.20, Rs.50, Rs.100, Rs.500 and Rs.1000 in this series. These notes contain distinct easily recognizable security features to facilitate the detection of genuine notes vis-à-vis forgeries.

Here are some of the security measures to identify fake currency notes guidelines:

The floral designs printed on the front and reverse in the middle of the vertical band next to the watermark window has the denominational numeral ‘500’. Both the printed have an accurate back to back registration so that the numeral as one when seen against light.

Watermark:

Optically Variable Ink:

The colour of the numeral ‘500’ appears green when the bank note is held flat. But it would change to blue when tilted to an angle.

Fluorescence:

The bank note series, Number Panel, Security Thread and few particles (scattered in a note) will glow when exposed to the ultraviolet light.

Security Thread:

It will have “Bharat”, “RBI” inscriptions on it and the thread will change colour from green to blue when viewed from different angles. The thread is visible as a continuous line from behind when viewed against the light.

Intaglio Printing:

The portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, the Reserve Bank seal and ‘Paanch Sau Rupiye’ are printed in intaglio (raised ink). This can be felt by touching it.

Latent Image:

The vertical band on the extreme right of the bank note contains a latent (hidden) image of the numeral ‘500’. This can be seen when the note is held at the eye level.

Micro Lettering:

The letters ‘RBI’ and ‘500’ can be viewed with the help of a magnifying glass in the zone between Mahatma Gandhi portrait and the vertical band.

Year of Printing:

Year of printing appears on the reverse of the bank note.

Identification Mark:

On Rs.1000 bank note diamond mark with intaglio print which can be felt by touch. This helps the visually impaired to identify the denomination.

Identification Mark:

The government is reportedly thinking on the lines of scalping the Local Body Tax, which is already in force across the state except in Mumbai.

To compensate the loss in state exchequer, Maharashtra government may consider an increase in Value Added Tax (VAT). It is noteworthy that Local Body Tax was imposed on the state traders in a phased manner starting 2010. The tax that began with tier-III cities was imposed by scraping octroi. Last year the Local Body Tax was imposed on tier-II and tier-I cities as well, except the State Capital.

This tax has triggered protest from the traders in the state, who pinned that the new tax could be an addition to the harassment by the officials. Traders also thought that with VAT being under implementation, Local Body Tax was an additional burden.

Keeping in mind the upcoming assembly elections, the government has proposed scraPping of Local Body Tax, is likely to be formulated said the sources. As they say, elections change it all.

Wholesale price index at 5.05% in January 2014 - Stock Market Pulse

WPI (Wholesale Price Index) inflation at 8-month low in January 2014

Wholesale price index declined to an eight month low in January due to an unexpectedly sharp fall in vegetable rates.

As per the data released by commerce and industry on Friday inflation based on WPI (Wholesale price index ) has slowed. The annual rate of inflation, based on monthly WPI (Wholesale price index ), stood at 5.05% for the month of January, 2014 (over January, 2013) as compared to 6.16% for the previous month and 7.31% during the corresponding month of the previous year. Build up inflation rate in the financial year so far was 5.17% compared to a build-up rate of 5.78% in the corresponding period of the previous year. The consensus expectation was for a decline to 5.8%. The drop in headline inflation has, however, not enthused economists because of a rise in core inflation, a measure of demand closely tracked by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

Retail inflation is relatively new index. This index has got more attention because RBI (Reserve Bank of India) has placed it at the center of its monetary policy focus. The retail inflation declined from 9.87% in December 2013 to 8.79% in January 2014.

The Central Statistics Office projected growth for the 2013-14 fiscal year at 4.86%. The second successive year in which it will be below 5%. 2012-13 GDP growth was revised down to 4.5% from 5% estimated earlier, the slowest in 10 years.

Manufactured products' inflation inched up to 2.76% in January 2014 from 2.64% in December 2013.
