Subject: beware of icici bank

Hello Friends,
thanks for reading and for your support on my earlier article on ICICI Bank
Home loan - strategy. Within a month I write again on the recent
developments with ICICI.

Referene --- Please read TOI Jan 14th 2009 edition -page 20. Infosys
discloses cash-parking points.

A snippet for the article below for your understanding......

*In an interesting subtext, Infosys has shifted Rs 1,000 crore from ICICI
Bank to State Bank of India over the past nine months. Today, it has a mere
Rs 10 crore with ICICI Bank. Its deposits with SBI have doubled from Rs
1,000 crore in March 2008 to Rs 2,000 crore in Dec 2008. *

Infosys has parked Rs 500 crore each in State Bank of Mysore, Bank of India
and Axis Bank. It has Rs 535 crore in Punjab National Bank and Rs 528 crore
in Canara Bank.

Clearly shows companies like Infosys, are moving away from MNC such as
ICICI. In fact only the salary account of the employees are still maintained
with ICICI and the rest of their cash deposits is lying with all leading
Indian banks. ICICI bank is surely heading for a disaster, or else companies
like Infosys etc are not doing these without some market knowledge on the
future of ICICI bank.

The day is NOT far off ... i wont be surprised if this happens in less than
6 months.... again let me say to you .... DO NOT BANK WITH ICICI .... Get
your home loan, auto loan, personal loan and everything out of here..... DO
NOT even leave your salary stay in the account for more than a day.... move
it to your other banks...... leave a Standing instruction to make the
Transfer.

Ironically, the salary account of Satyam is also with ICICI Bank ... imagine
starting February 2009, ICICI bank is not going to have the salary of 53000
odd employees money come in .... which is going to be another BIG HIT on
them ....

Let me wish Good Luck again, this time NOT to you people who are reading
this ..... but to ICICI

WONDERFUL

disaster as u found out wonderfully.

Good work.

Mr. Sharma,

Thanks for the information. But i have to admit that your information is
half truth & half fake. 'Companies are parking funds with banks' & 'taking
money out of ICICI bank into SBI' are the correct news but they are taking
out of ICICI bank because the bank is a cheater or fraudulent company is a
complete lie. The reason is simple, more and more companies are now parking
their excess funds with Public Sector Banks. This phenomenon of companies
parking money with bankers is known as flight to safety. Instead of
investing their money in risky equity market  & private bankers, the
companies are parking their excess funds with public sector banks. Companies
are doing this because PSB's offer higher interest rates in fixed deposits
than their private counterparts. Please don't misguide people here.

--
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Kothari

PS: I have no relationship with ICICI Bank.

Well !! Well !! :)

Mr. Sharma

One bit of suggestion. If ICICI bank is doomed - you are better off
keeping all your loans (home loan, auto loan etc etc.) with them and
only take away your deposits from them. LOL.

No offence intended. Just joking - one gets to joke around less in
such turbulent times.

Mr. Sharma, while I appreciate your concern and in spirit even share
it. However, currently predicting the crash of ICICI bank seems a too
hasty. So if you do not feel safe with them - by all means move away
from them (infy did that) - but I guess others can be left to decide
more rationally.

Thanks and Regards

PS. I am surely not related to ICICI and also not related to Mr.
Sharma :)

Subject: Re: <<Aiii>> beware of icici bank
Guys,

Very interesting how we make conclusions without complete facts. Let
me give you a fact and a few questions. Answer would be obvious to
you:

Fact
1. SBI and Yes bank were offering 14% on bulk deposits in October,
obviously money was going to move to SBI.

Questions
1. Why, as a company, I will move my money from one bank but would
leave all my employees money in the same bank and send salaries
there?? Am I not bothered about inconveniencing my employees, the only
asset for an IT company.

2. Regarding salary to Satyam's employees, why would the bank take a
hit, it is a deposit made by the company in the salary accounts which
can be then withdrawn by the employees. No deposits, no money for
withdrawal. Bank is not giving loan against salary, so no hit.

Looks like Mr Sharma works in a bank which has been badly affected by
ICICI, hence these panic attacks.

For your information, ICICI bank has the lowest SME loan portfolio,
most of the big corporates bank with it, only bank which went slow on
loan disbursal in the last two years, cleaning its balance sheet and
lending only to top corporates, and is available at book/ lower than
book value (amongst all the private sector banks).

Thanks to Mr Sharma, we get opportunities to buy banks like these.

If you get us some concrete analysis, we would be grateful. Otherwise,
please don't spread baseless rumours. Thanks.

This is amusing stuff.

1) Companies regularly shift deposits based on interest rates offered by banks. Sometimes some banks offer better rates compared to others. So tomorrow if Infosys shifts its funds from SBI and moves to say HDFC you will advice ppl to exit SBI. Funny!!!

2) CASA (current and savings account) are relatively more stable compared to deposits. They are still with ICICI.

And my god... you have the figures also... are you working in ICICI Bank by any chance?
I work in the balance sheet management group of ICICI. This belowmentioned mail is a waste of time and energy. Pls stop spreading such rumors.

cant stop laughing though.

Mr kothari not only companies even employees of icici bank have shifted
their entire Fd account to puiblic sector bank.I know an icici bank at a
senior position who has shifted his entire deposits to SBI and is very much
worried about his job in ICICI BANK.When employees of icici bank themselves
having insider information do not have faith in the bank how can others have
faith in the bank.For your kind info FD RATES in public sector banks and
Private banks are same.We are not discussing companies here and talking
about oNLY INFOSYS.Yes satyam continues to have faith in ICICI BANK>

Mr. Sharma
I too agree with our Pal comments , Please don't spread rumours about any
banks including ICICI as we are in very critical situation in both economy
and confidence level among every body is very low.

Note that every bank had NPA , if you don't want NPA then you can't lend it
means you can't do business.

Know the facts .

Hello everybody

For the benefit of group members let me also state that INFOSYS has
withdrawn entire money from BOB (bank of baroda) in the same period as
per reported data and it has reduced its deposit with one other state
owned bank also. Decision of a company to park money with one bank or
the other is a decision of bulk rates offered by these banks and
company will park funds whereever it gets best rate. .

LETS TRY AND PRESENT ALL FACTS TO THIS GROUP AND NOT SHOW THEM
PARTIALLY AND THEN DRAW CONCLUSIONS. I WOULD BE HAPPY HAVE A RESPONSE
FROM MR SHARMA AS TO WHY INFOSYS HAS WITHDRAWN MONEY FROM A FEW STATE
OWNED BANKS??

If IBank collapse then it will take thousands of companies with it which will have cascading impact....India is still not as develop which can afford the collapse of its second largest bank...No need to worry nothing will happen to the bank...Even if something happens (which is not possible) then it will be taken over by some other bank so no risk to depositors...
Also for your information, Indian government gives insurance of upto 1L of deposit per bank account...

Dear All

I am really disappointed to see tha a bank who changed the banking in india
which is pioneer in all respect is treated like this
remeber those days when Demand draft request used to take one day even in so
called best bank SBI. Today the technology you are using is upgarded because
of the ICICI Bank.

I just fail to understand that if someone is giving you benefit of 10 rupees
extra and chargin one rupee out of that what is the harm.

beside that in the world map if any bank has given india any name that is
icici bank

Hi kothari,
if i try to make people believe in my thinking what is rude in it.All the
members in this forum are adults they are not gullible to blindly believe me
or you.BTW 2 or 3 people doesnt mean each and every person,out of 3 ,2 are
ICICI BANK employees so naturally they will be biased.I was only replying to
your statement that since public sector banks are giving higher interest
rates that is why people are shifting from private sector banks  to public
sector banks.This statement is factually incorrect.Its rather the othervway
round .At present icici bank is offering 9.75% for 890 days while
SBI<BOB<IOB etc are offering 8.75% for same duration.
People are shifting to publ ic sector banks bcoz they enjoy imlicit
sovereign guarantee of govt of india and are therefore more safe.the use of
word hitler by you is enough to show group members as to who is rude.
As for icici bank pl go to MOUTHSHUT.COM and see 700 positive reviews on
this bank.Any bank which treats its customer like dirt will bite dust.ICICI
BANK is in coma and if it diesnt pull up its socks and improve its customer
care service it WILL VANISH LIKE LEHMAN BROTHERS.
Thanks for commenting

Mr nitin you are working in icici bank and so your views are obviously
biased.i do not work in any bank but i do have opportunity to interact with
banks a the grassroot l;evel as i have savings bank account with them.From
my 8 years experience of banking with icici bank I can say icici bank is
worlds most unethical and customer unfriendly bank.Since you are an ICICI
BANK EMPLOYEE it will be better if you resolve the grievances of 702
customers in MOUTHSHUT.COM rather than wasting your time here to
ARTIFICIALLY PROP THE SHARES OF ICICI BANK.
You can buy more icici bank shares AND ALSO SATYAM SHARES AS THEY ARE
AVAILABLE AT 90% discount.Can you deny that ICICI BANK HAS HIGHEST NPAs
AMONG ALL BANKS.About thjis CASA ,Wait for DECEMBER quarter , results CASA
will also change.Why talk about OCTOBER ,We are in january 2009 and you are
talking FD rates of oct 2008.YES BANK is a private bank so not suitable fopr
comparison.
About shares of icici bank,Following are facts
                   CMP   BV

ICICI BANK    424 417
HDFC BANK  937  272
AXIS BANK    444  244
SBI                1165 772
ICICI BANK is quoting BELOW BOOK VALUE BCOZ ITS A RISKY BANK WITH HUGE NPAS
AND HUGE DERIVATIVE LOSSES WHICH IS NOT THE CASE WITH WITH HDFC BANK<AXIS
BANK ANS SBI.That ICICI BANK is quoting BELOW BBOK VALUE IS NOTHING TO BE
HAPPY It shows the real worth of ICICI BANK.Investors who were sold ICICI
BANK SHARES @1000 in IPO are licking their wounds.At that time also
knowledgeable retail investors didnt invest and the retail portion was under
subscribed.
Nitin INDIAN OVERSEAS BANK has recently advertised 1400 PROBATIONARY OFFICER
POSTS Apply for it and get out of this SINKING SHIP OF ICICI BANK.
For yopur infi I DO NOT WORK IN ANY BANK BUT I AM A VORACIOUS READER AND MY
GOAL IS TO SAFEGUARD THE INTEREST OF SMALL INVESTORS WHO ARE EASILY
INFUENCED BY MEDIA HYPE AND SHAHRUKH KHAN ADVT OF IOCICI BANK.Instead of
wasting orecious money of acciunt holders ICICI BANK should solve the
grievances of 720 harassed customers of icici bank.That is the only way
ICICI BANK CAN COME OUT OF COMA.
Since you are an ICICI BANK EMLOYEE I can understand your frustration ans

ICICI bank has higher NPA because it is more aggressive. I agree to the fact that there are several unhappy ICICI Bank customers. But most of the time the mistake is on the customers side. ICICI Bank charges high service fees for most of its services and justifiably so. Customers often do not read the fine print where these charges are mentioned and after they are charged they cry foul saying they were not told about these charges earlier.

Most people forget the positive side of ICICI Bank. ICICI bank is the pioneer of banking in India. A few years back I vividly remember having to go to SBI branch twice and being made to wait for more than an hour to meet the manager just to request for a cheque book. The manager asked me several questions before he would even sanction a cheque book. A year later I opened an account with ICICI bank and all I had to do is login to my account online and place a request online for the cheque book. If not for ICICI Bank we would still be using primitive technology for banking.

Generally people feel that a public sector bank is much more safe than a private sector bank. This is because of the soverign guarantee attached to dealing with a PSU bank. However, what people fail to realize is the fact that all deposits in any bank in India up to 1 lakh are insured by DICGC and the default risk is NIL. ICICI bank is as safe as any other PSU bank.

Cheers,
Roy

Subject: Re: <<Aiii>> Re: beware of icici bank

Very interesting mr sharma. Thank you so much for your sympathies. A disclaimer first: i am not an employee of icici bank, nor do i hold any shares at this moment.

Now lets handle you queries:
1. FYI sbi has the highest level of consumer complaints.
2. Its CASA deposits are low because RBI did not allow it to grow its branches fast because of PSU bank pressure. Its CASA would be low this quarter thanks to deposit run by people like you wwho believe in rumors.
This is because of poor understanding of balance sheets. Do you think centurian banks balance sheet was good when HDFC bank took it over. ICICI banks fifty percent is corporate, 25 is mortgage and the rest is retail. Even when we assume 10 percent default in retail, bank does not suffer because of high capital adequacy.
Regarding derivatives, i don't know what losses are you referring to, client's losses - which client pays, or intl CDS mark to market losses - which are of top indian corporates like reliance, tata, etc. Saying there would be losses there would be akin to saying all top indian corporates would default and go bankrupt. In which case, better sell all stocks rather than this bank alone.

The point i wish to make is simple, when the market has rumours without any concrete basis, and is expecting the worst from the stock, that is probably a time to buy. Satyams case is different. It has a huge known problem so you cant put a value to it and hence does not fall under the same category.

icici bank is worlds most unethical and customer unfriendly bank- if that is the case, lets shut RBI and SEBI too as they are allowing such a bank to grow and raise money from public. If that is the case what does that make you, having any account with it for 8 years.

So please dont make it a personal issue, lets put all the facts on table and let everyone decide whether a investment is warranteed or any exit. Spreading rumors without supporting facts, lets leave that to uneducated and naive investors who always end up losing value. Lets talk facts and analysis.

Have fun.

Nitin will you please tell me why allthe rumours are only about icici bank
why there are no rumours against hdfc bank,axis bank or sbi bank.You dont
hold icici bank shares now but you were having it in october 2008 and from
your earlier reply you also plan to buy more if their is afall.So you have a
vested interest in icici bank.
Why dont you spread rumours about hdfc bank,axis bank or SBi Let me see how
many people believe you.
Wait for some time PROPERTY BUBBLE HAS BURST and ICICI BANK HAS HUGE
EXPOSURE TO HOME LOANS often without checking creditworthiness as some
people call here agressive banking.Its NPAs will rise further but you should
be happy you will get opportunities to buy icici bank shares at one fourth
of icici banks book value.
For your kind info i have closed account 2 years back and since i have
experience of 8 years of banking with them i know that they have systems in
place to loot from customers account.
SBI has highest no of complaints.Can you name me one blog which is dedicated
to sbi complaints.its complaints are much lesser than icici bank.

I agree with you.
This is the mindset which has to change, I know for a fact that customer
service in some places is having issues, and there is no doubt they are
facing issues to cater to the huge amount of demand/calls to the customer
service people espcially during peak hours.

but is it the only way to judge a bank which revolutionalised Indian
banking?, I give credit to ICICI bank for the way it created extremely
competetive atmosphere and helped the PSU banks to be innovative, use
technology etc. ICICI bank actually helped india middle class in a big way
by making them realise the extent to which retail banking can go and help in
the financial planning of a retail guy.

which is the reason why, we should not judge a company by the amount of time
they take to respond to 'my' call, amount of time I spend to get 'my' work
done. its time to think beyond self and look at the bigger picture. the bank
management knows there is a little bit of problem in customer service, they
are working overtime to resolve it and under the dynamic leadership of
Kamath, Chanda- I have no doubts the bank will comeout with flying
colors from all these malicious romours to tarnish the image of ICICI bank.
meanwhile lets be patient and give them sometime.

Wwhat you are saying is that satyam's raju is no thief because there are no rumours.

Rumours dont make a thief, facts do.

Pls put facts on the table otherwise there is no basis for discussion.

Just to answer mortgage also, there are black money transactions also involved and indians would take personal loans to pay their mortgage instalments so mortgage usually have the lowest rate of default and because of being asset backed is much easier to flip around and recover your loan.

And to answer, i will buy if i find no plausible reason in my analysis and no facts supporting the rumours. You would agree that RBI knows much more than you and me, and if it is allowing the bank to expand and its governer vouches for bank's assets after having done due diligence, then i will tend to believe him more than any rumour.

My final argument, all the fund managers, whether foreign or indian, have increased their investment in bank shares. Maybe all of them are idiots too. Time will tell.

Your choice.

Why only ICICI Bank? We should be careful of all stocks we hold.  Especially
during the times of slowdown and recession.

We just saw what happened to a company as big as Satyam itself.  There are
no written guarantees that there won't be any "Replay"  of that episode in
some other Company.

Having a blind faith doesn't work.  Take care of long holdings & play safe -
that works.  If not in improving the bank balance by tons, but at least in
preserving it for a good tomorrow on which we can buy stocks in loads.

In my experience, they are running one of the most unethical banking
companies in India. They do anything and everything to get some business and
the employees are the most unreliable and crooked and work just to earn the
maximum commissions what it cosys to the customer..

I am a NRI Housing Loan customer of ICICI Bank and following is my
experience...
I applied for a home loan for buying a House and some land in 2005. The
proposed land was owned by my uncle and we went to the bank together for
inquiring about the loan and other details. So the bank employees knew that
the seller is my relative. I submitted all the necessary documents for a
loan of about 4.5lakhs while on a vacation there and left India as my
vacation was over. The loan was passed, money was dispersed, and I started
repaying the loan amount. I got the loan allotment letter only after about 6
months as I was not in India. But when i recieved the documents I was so
shocked to see that the loan passed and dispersed was more than 7Lakhs
instead of the 4.5lakhs I applied for. The greedy employee who processed the
loan and my uncle who was the seller collaborated without my or my POA
holder and corrected the loan amount to the new one. Can yo believe any
responsible bank to do such things?

I agree the fact that being one of first private bank in india to
introduce online banking and interconnected branches ICICI done good
job to make PSU banks to run for their money..

But we all can't deny the fact that icici customer service suc*s and
it's reputation in UK is not good either. In UK icici bank advertise
highest rate of interest on saving deposits and attracting British
Whites as well as NRI's.. but a look at their customer service people
are now turning away from them.
for e.g. The says, once your cheque is in they will send email
confirmation and within 5 days password by post. 70% customer don't
get email confirmation of their account opening and what happens when
you call to their customer centre.. every one know..

Icici know they lack customer service and this is their problem for
last 3-4 years.. and yet they haven't done anything to resolve it...
which is weird..

Hello  everybody,

I  would like to offer  my  views on Icici Bank,  country's second largest
bank.

I have been  one of the oldest customers of the bank ( since 2000 )  and  i
have never faced any sort  of  inconvenience or trouble dealing with this
bank.   Yes,  i did  face some log in problems  when i was using
icicidirect.com for  my trading activity.  And  even this problem  also got
rectified and we dont face any down time  as far as  trading on icicidirect
is concerned.

If  at  all  someone wants to list  the  difficulties faced dealing  with
the bank,  I  feel its  prudent to  take up  the matter with  the  Bank
ambudsman  rather than  discussing the matter in  forums like this,  which
are meant  basically to educate and disseminate  market related knowledge.
I would suggest  people to come out with  proper  proof and evidence about
the  deceitful nature of the bank  which  I very  much suspect  there being
in existence  rather than  making baseless allegations.   By doing so one
is  degrading  his own country's mammoth  financial institution.

Hope sanity prevails.

regards,

thyagarajan
