3135.20 million from Rs. 2864.00 million in corresponding previous year period. Net profit Stood at Rs. 711.10

testing’s and financial research.
For the Nine months ended Sept 30, 2014, consolidated Net sales grew by 14.98% to Rs. 9278.80 million and net
profit was Rs. 1976.50 million as against Rs. 8072.40 million and Rs. 2269.00 million respectively for the nine

Analytics (GR&A), coalition and Bank Loan Ratings.
The overall operating environment both in India and globally was challenging. However the global industry
continues to remain stressed with renew focus on cost management and recovery of industry. The investments
slowdown and volatile Capital markets have impacted the India research business. The company continues to
closely engage with its customers to provide added value. The overall operating environment both in India and

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
India's services sector has always served the Indian economy well, accounting for nearly 57 per cent of the gross
domestic product (GDP). Here, the financial services segment has been a significant contributor. The financial
services sector in India is dominated by commercial banks which have more than 60 per cent share of the total
assets; other segments include mutual funds, insurance firms, non-banking institutions, cooperatives and
pension funds.
The Government of India has introduced reforms to liberalise, regulate and enhance the country's financial
services industry. Presently, the country can claim to be one of the world's most vibrant capital markets. In spite
of the challenges that are still there, the sector's future looks good.
Market size
The size of banking assets in India reached US$ 1.8 trillion in FY 13 and is projected to touch US$ 28.5 trillion by
FY 25. Information technology (IT) services, the largest spending segment of India's insurance industry at Rs
40000.00 mn (US$ 665.78 million) in 2014, is anticipated to continue enjoying strong growth at 16 per cent.
Category leaders are business process outsourcing (BPO) at 25 per cent and consulting at 21 per cent.
Investments
During FY 14, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) invested a net amount of about Rs 800000.00 mn (US$ 13.31
billion) in India's equity market, according to data by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Insurance companies in India will spend about Rs 121000.00 mn (US$ 2.01 billion) on IT products and services
in 2014, a 12 per cent increase over the previous year, according to Gartner Inc. The forecast includes spending
by insurers on segments such as internal IT (including personnel), telecommunications, hardware, software, and
external IT services. The Rs 12000.00 mn (US$ 202.47 million) software segment is predicted to be the fastest
growing external segment, with overall growth of 18 per cent in 2014.
The following are some of the key developments and investments in the Indian financial services sector:
•
About 75 per cent of the insurance policies sold by 2020 would be in one way or another influenced by digital
channels during the pre-purchase, purchase or renewal stages, according to a report by Boston Consulting
Group (BCG) and Google India. This report, Digital@Insurance-20X By 2020, predicts that insurance sales
from online channels will increase 20 times from present-day sales by 2020, and overall internet influenced
sales will reach Rs 3000000.00 mn -4000000.00 mn (US$ 49.9-66.54 billion).
•
Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) will focus more on supporting project exports from India to South
Asia, Africa and Latin America, as per Chairman and MD, Exim Bank. The bank has moved up the value chain
by lending support to project exports so that India earns foreign exchange. In 2012-13, Exim Bank had
supported 85 project export contracts valued at Rs 242550.00 mn (US$ 4.03 billion) secured by 47
companies in 23 countries.
•
Private-sector lender IndusInd Bank will soon begin its asset reconstruction business. It plans to partner
asset reconstruction companies (ARCs) for this venture. New initiative, which is going to launch in the next
two months, is about asset reconstruction.
•
Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) has reported that the mutual fund industry's assets under
management (AUM) have gone past the Rs 10 trillion (US$ 166.37 billion) mark in May, 2014. The AUM of the
Indian mutual fund industry rose to Rs 10.11 trillion (US$ 168.19 billion) in May from Rs 9.45 trillion (US$
157.21 billion) in April.
Government Initiatives
In an effort to enable banks to provide greater choice in insurance products through their branches, a
proposal could be made which will allow banks to act as corporate agents and tie up with multiple insurers. A
committee set up by the Finance Ministry of India is likely to suggest this model as an alternative to the
broking model.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has simplified the rules for credit to exporters. Exporters can now receive
long-term advance credit from banks for up to 10 years to service their contracts. They have to have a
satisfactory record of three years to get payments from banks, who can adjust the payments against future
exports.
The RBI has enabled foreign investors, including foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) and non-resident Indians
(NRIs), to invest up to 26 per cent in insurance and related activities via the automatic route. "Effective from
February 4, 2014, foreign investment by way of FDI, investment by FIIs/FPIs and NRIs up to 26 per cent
under automatic route shall be permitted in insurance sector," as per the RBI.
Road Ahead
India is among the world's top 10 economies, driven by its strong banking and insurance sectors. The country is
expected to become the fifth largest banking sector in the world by 2020, as per a joint report by KPMG-CII. The
report anticipates bank credit to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17 per cent in the
medium term which will lead to better credit penetration. Life Insurance Council, the industry body of life
insurers in India, has also estimated a CAGR of 12-15 per cent over the next few years for the segment.
