The practice of collection of cheques crossed ‘account payee’ through third party accounts (of co-operative credit societies) is not permissible. However, to facilitate collection of cheques from a payment system angle, sub-members of the clearing houses may collect the cheques of their customers for the credit to their accounts through the sponsor member, under certain circumstances.
Reserve Bank of India has notified that collecting banks may consider collecting account payee cheques drawn for an amount not exceeding Rs.50,000/- to the account of their customers who are co-operative credit societies, if the payees of such cheques are the constituents of such co-operative credit societies. While collecting the cheques as aforesaid, banks should have a clear representation in writing given by the co-operative credit societies concerned that, upon realization, the proceeds of the cheques will be credited only to the account of the member of the co-operative credit society who is the payee named in the cheque.

However, RBI has clarified that in the event of a claim by the true owner of the cheque, the rights of the true owner of the cheque are not in any manner affected and banks will have to establish that they acted in good faith and without negligence while collecting the cheque in question.

In India, a variant of indexed bonds, i.e. Capital Index Bond (CIB), 2002 was issued on December 29, 1997 wherein only principal repayments at the time of redemption were indexed to inflation. Based on the past experience and feedback from market participants, a new version of IIB has been designed with protection from inflation to both interest payments and principal repayments linking them to Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for all commodities.
In the backdrop of high inflation, increasing preference of investors for diversified instruments and to further improve the depth and width of G-Sec Market, it has been felt that IIBs could be issued at the current juncture, Inflation-indexed bonds will help investors and issuers insulate themselves from inflation, and help in better risk diversification.
The Reserve Bank of India has, placed a technical paper on ‘Inflation Indexed Bonds” for public comments. The technical paper sets out the structure of IIBs including method of indexation (principal or interest), inflation index lag, issuance method, and methodology to compute settlement price.
Salient features
• In the current structure of IIBs, the principal will be indexed and the coupon will be calculated on the indexed principal. This structure is the same as was set out in the discussion paper on Capital Indexed Bond issued by the Bank in 2005.
• Since the objective of the IIBs is to provide protection against actual inflation, the final WPI will be used for indexation.
• Final WPI with a lag of four months will be used as the Reference WPI for the first day of the calendar month in which ‘Issue Date’ and ‘Set Date’ falls.
• As and when WPI index is being revised on technical grounds (coverage, base year, etc.), the new WPI index will be used for indexation purpose and past value of new WPI index would be computed through a linking factor.
• In the primary auction, the IIB would be issued at par and investors would quote their bids in terms of real yield.
• In case of reissuance, investors would bid in terms of price and settlement price may be computed multiplying the sum of the cut-off price and accrued real interest by the Index Ratio.
Comments on the technical note may be forwarded to the Chief General Manager, Internal Debt Management Department, Reserve Bank of India, Central Office Building, 23rd floor, S.B. Road, Mumbai-400001 latest by December 31, 2010.

Tamil Nadu Electricity Board has recently permitted it’s consumers to pay their EB bills online. But it seems that EB didn’t upgrade it’s servers and bandwidth before allowing it’s customers to pay online. Result ? Very poor user experience.
It takes unusually very long time to load the pages. It takes more than 5 minutes to process request even in broadband. Sometimes it shows no connectivity with database.
The Govt. should take remedial steps immediately. Otherwise it won’t add any convenience to people at large.

Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), India’s largest housing finance company, will make a big-bang entry into education. HDFC will look at small towns to either set up schools or take over defunct boarding schools. The entry into education will be made through a separate subsidiary. HDFC directors will need to be on the board of schools as trustees. When a company director becomes a trustee on a school’s board, he can co-opt another trustee and the trust can be taken over. The trust can then sign agreements with interested parties to manage the assets.
Kindergarten to class 12 (K-12) is said to be the most attractive segment of the education market, as a student usually stays on for 12 years. The K-12 segment will be the direct beneficiary of rising middle-class incomes in India. HDFC already has an educational loan unit — Credila Financial Services — in which it raised its stake to 51 per cent in July. Credila plans to leverage the distribution network and customer base of HDFC Bank to expand and also bring down the cost of funds.
Credila, which hopes to grow its loan book 2.5 times in the current financial year, is also in talks with other banks to diversify sources of funds. It has a line of credit from Punjab National Bank. At present, Credila lends around 65 per cent to students pursuing courses within the country. The company charges interest rates of between 9.75 per cent and 12.5 per cent on loans of up to Rs 50 lakh, unlike PSBs, which do not lend more than Rs 20 lakh.
The corporate loan portfolio of LIC Housing Finance Company, whose CEO is accused in a bribery case, constitutes only 11 per cent of its total loan book, as against around eight per cent last year. The retail portfolio, at 89 per cent, constitutes the major portion of the housing finance company's book.
As on September 30, the housing finance company's outstanding home loan portfolio stood at Rs 43,385 crore. Of this, loan to builders and developers works out to around Rs 4,800 crore, as against around Rs 2,600 crore in the year ago period. The asset quality of the corporate loan book is good with the gross non-performing assets from this segment at 0.08 per cent as on October 31, 2010. This is lower than the gross NPAs from the retail segment which stood at 0.84 per cent.
LIC Housing Finance has managed to keep its NPAs under 1 per cent for more than nine consecutive quarters. As on September 30, the net NPAs of the company stood at 0.21 per cent. In the fiscal ended March 2010, the company grew its loan book by 38 per cent and registered a 70 per cent year-on-year growth in disbursements. In the first six months of the current fiscal, LIC HF's loan book expanded by 36 per cent while disbursements were up by 37 per cent.

Manganese Ore India Ltd. (MOIL) is India’s largest manganese ore miner based on manganese ore production. In FY10, MOIL produced 1.09mn tonnes of raw manganese ore, accounting for more than ~40% of India's manganese ore production. MOIL’s total manganese ore resources and reserves as per JORC code amount to 69.5mn tonnes and 21.7mn respectively. MOIL has high quality manganese ore reserves. 55% of MOIL’s manganese ore reserves have an average manganese content of above 40%, which is considered high grade; 27.5% of it have an average manganese ore content of between 36.0% and 39.9%; and the rest has an average manganese ore content of not less than 30%. Also, unlike other PSU’s, MOIL enjoys complete autonomy in pricing and gets the full benefit of soaring international manganese ore prices on account of high demand from China (MOIL’s average sales realisation per tonne of manganese ore was `11,709.4 in H1FY11 as compared to `6501.3 in FY08). As ferro alloys cost comprise a miniscule proportion of the total cost of steelmaking, pricing of manganese ore does not invite government interference. Also, most of MOIL’s reserves are deposited in areas with favourable geological and mining conditions and are of regular shape, and its mines benefit from well-developed road and rail infrastructure. This leads to low capex and low extraction cost for MOIL. Strong global manganese ore prices and low operational costs combined have enabled MOIL to earn strong EBITDA margins of above 60%, annual profits between `4.7-`6.7bn and an RoE of above 30% over the last 3 years. With low capex and strong operating cash flows, MOIL has been a zero debt company and accumulated net cash of `17.6bn (cash per share of `104.9) as on 30th September 2010. Its net cash translates into 28% of its market cap at the higher price band of `375. MOIL also has a good dividend paying track record with a consistent dividend payout of 20% over the years.
Going forward, MOIL is likely to grow its earnings and long term value through capacity expansion from existing mines, accretion of reserves through exploration, forward integration into ferro alloys, and cost efficiency improvements. Its large size of manganese ore production and reserves, and having a market share of more than 40% in India makes MOIL well positioned to capitalise on the wide demand-supply gap for manganese ore in India and strong global manganese ore pricing.
At the higher price band of `375, MOIL trades at an annualised P/E and EV/EBITDA of 9.5x and 4.7x FY11E. Net of cash (`104.9/share), the core business is available at 6.4x annualised earnings for FY11. There is no pure play manganese ore domestic peer worthy of comparison. Major global manganese ore players are diversified miners, so wouldn’t be strictly comparable. Other domestic mining companies like NMDC and Coal India trade are trading at 14-17x FY11 earnings. Given the favourable fundamentals of the manganese ore industry in terms of strong global pricing and India’s net importer status, MOIL’s large size in terms of production and reserves, its low capex requirements and low extraction cost and a strong balance sheet, we believe that MOIL’s IPO has been attractively priced. We believe that MOIL is an excellent long term bet on the natural resources sector and should be part of the core portfolio of an investor. We recommend SUBSCRIBE, both from a short and long term perspective, to MOIL’s IPO at the higher price band of `375. There is a retail discount of 5%, i.e. ~`18.75/share as well which makes it even more attractive.
Shree Renuka Sugars: Brazilian acquisitions a game changer, buy says Motilal Oswal.
Brazilian acquisition: In FY10 SRS acquired 100% in Vale do Ivai and 50.34% in Renuka do Brasil (the erstwhile Equipav) which propelled it from a leading Indian sugar company to among the largest integrated global sugar players. SRS now stands to benefit from the ongoing recovery in the global sugar industry. Brazilian acquisitions are characterized by (i) assured low cost cane availability for 6-12 years, and (ii) a settled balance sheet with debt at less-than-market costs and repayment over years. Cash flows from the Brazilian operations would be self sufficient to meet obligations and yield a surplus. We model a payback period of four years for VDI and seven for Renuka do Brasil. Renuka's Brazil business (seventh largest by size) has potential to list and unlock value for Renuka shareholders in the medium term.
SRS's integrated, diversified and flexible business model makes it more resilient to cyclical downsides. Over FY06-10, SRS grew from a relatively small domestic sugar play to a global giant, maintaining average RoE of 32.4% and EPS CAGR of ~20% in a cyclical industry, which speaks volumes about its innovation, vision and capabilities.
View & Valuations: SRS is the best proxy to play the global sugar industry recovery and is a direct play on rising sugar/ethanol prices. Strong cash flow visibility will allow it to de-leverage itself and address concerns regarding its high leverage. We expect SRS to post revenue and net profit CAGR of 19% and 20% respectively, over FY10-12. Motilal Oswal value SRS at Rs119, based on EV/EBITDA of 6 times FY12 EBITDA an upside of 32%. Initiate coverage with Buy.
