About
CSB Bank Ltd
CSB Bank Limited (Formerly known The Catholic Syrian Bank Limited) is one of the fastest growing private sector banks in India with a significant branch presence in the Thrissur district of Kerala and steadily increasing network across India with a special thrust on Northern and Western part of the country. The Bank operates into 4 segment verticals, comprising of SME Banking, Retail banking, Wholesale Banking and Treasury operations.
The CSB Bank was incorporated in November 26, 1920. The Bank commenced business on 01 January, 1921 with an authorized capital of Rs. 5 lakhs and a paid up capital of Rs. 45270/-. Presently, the Bank has a network of 603 branches in India and provide a range of banking and financial services including SME banking, Retail banking, Corporate banking and treasury operations.
During the FY2020, the bank has raised capital of Rs 409.68 crore through Initial Public Offering(IPO) and the shares of the bank were listed in BSE and NSE from 04 December 2019.
During the first two decades of its functioning, the Bank concentrated only in Kerala. Banks and credit institutions which proliferated especially in Kerala received a jolt and many of them came to their doom following the crash of the Travancore National Quilon Bank in 1938 followed by Palai Central Bank in 1960. During the period many small banks came to the verge of collapse shaking the confidence of the public and what followed was a process of consolidation. The strategy of mergers and amalgamations of small banks with bigger banks brought the number of banks within controllable limits, thereby making the industry's base strong. In 1964-65, The Catholic Syrian Bank Ltd took part in taking over the liabilities and assets of five small/medium sized banks in Kerala. The expansion programme initiated during these years gathered momentum in the subsequent years.
In August 1969, the Bank was included in the Second Schedule to the Reserve Bank of India Act 1934. In 1975, the Bank attained the status of 'A' Class Scheduled Bank when its total Deposits crossed Rs.25 crores. The necessity of imparting training to staff looked very important and a modest beginning was therefore, made in setting up a Training College in 1975. In the same year the Bank entered the field of foreign Exchange. At a very early stage, the Bank recognised mechanisation as an effective tool of management and streamlined its accounting procedures by introduction of Data processing system. From November 1975, reconciliation of inter-branch accounts was mechanised by using IBM Data processing machines.
The Catholic Syrian Bank Ltd did not lag behind in taking up the challenge and more than 75% of its clientele belong to small and economically weaker strata of Society. The Bank has a strong rural base with around 80% of the branches in rural and semi- urban areas.
Investments in money market and capital market instruments are being expanded and steps are being taken to have an in house equity research wing so as to face the challenges of the future. The Bank has also geared up its machinery to increase its market share of corporate finance in the days to come.

At Present, the Bank has tie-up arrangements with five companies to market their mutual fund products.

Chairman Speech
From Turnaround to Benchmark Performance – Setting New Standards
Dear Shareholders,
It's with immense pleasure that I am addressing you for the first
time, as we had another excellent year - this was the year with the highest profits in the
history of the Bank, supported by all-around progress on operational as well as financial
performance parameters. Given the fears about inflation and slowing growth in the country
and the consequential challenges faced across the Board, this is a commendable
achievement. Thanks to government policies and a prudent regulator, we at CSB continue to
be resilient, like the banking sector in the country. We have come a long way from
starting our transformation in 2016-17 and turning around in 2020 to become a benchmark
performer in FY 2023 compared to the growth of banks in similar categories and beyond. We
aim to become a new-age private sector bank riding on our SBS 2030 (Sustain, Build, Scale)
strategy. In line with the strategy, we endeavour to focus on sustaining our ongoing
pursuit of excellence and growth in the coming years.
Macro-Economic Conditions
The aftermath of COVID- 19 pandemic, followed by China's
zero-COVID policy, especially in the context of the outbreak of the Omicron variant of
COVID-19 and the geopolitical tensions in general, and in particular, the outbreak of the
Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, led to unprecedented inflation in the world
economy. Most Central banks in the world responded by tightening monetary policy by
increasing interest rates, which resulted in a slowdown in the major economies. In the
global headwinds, thanks to the policies of the Government of India and prudent
regulations and responses by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India remained a bright
spot. The RBI was also compelled to raise policy rates multiple times to contain
inflation, as well as to protect the currency as the dollar rose against most currencies
in the world. However, the inflation in India seems to have largely stabilised, and in
fact, the RBI paused the rate hike in its MPC meeting held in April for the first time
since raising the rate and decided to continue the pause on the rate hike in its last MPC
meeting held in June as3well while continuing to maintain a cautious stance as
India's inflation rate has moved down to 4.25% in May 2023, a 25-month low.
India's GDP growth for FY23 stood at 7.2%, and the Central Bank is confident of 6.5%
growth for FY24 on the back of firm investments and rapid stride in digital
transformation. The Government's increased outlay on infrastructure
– H10 trillion as per the budget, continued focus on
MSMEs and impetus to the manufacturing sector, along with specific
policies like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, are leading to strong growth
in the industry, as seen in corporate earnings and demand for credit.3Inflation led to a
higher demand for working capital credit. Strong consumer confidence, especially in urban
India, resulted in higher demand for housing loans, and personal loans. The banking
industry witnessed a robust credit growth of 15% y-o-y in FY23, the highest growth since
FY12.
Our Performance
We achieved an excellent performance during the year gone by. A
few3performance indicators that I would like to highlight3are the 16% growth in Net
Interest Income from H1153.30 Crore in the corresponding previous financial year to
H1333.85 Crore and 19.38% growth in Profit After Tax from H458.49 Crore in the
corresponding previous financial year to H547.36 Crore. Earnings per Share improved to C
31.55 y-o-y (19.38%) from H26.43 in the previous financial3year. Return on Assets improved
to 2.06%, which is up by 15 bps. Return on Equity has marginally declined to 20.35% from
21.28% in the previous year. Even though there was pressure on the cost of funds on
account of the increasing interest rate environment, Net Interest Margin improved to an
all-time high of 5.48%, up by 21 bps in the year following an increase in the credit
deposit ratio and transmission of higher interest rates to the advance customers. Gross
Non-Performing Asset (GNPA) and Net Non-Performing Asset ratios further improved to 1.26%
and 0.35% as of March 31, 2023, as against 1.81% and 0.68% in the previous year.
Way Forward
We have come a long way since our turnaround, thanks to the sheer
resolve and perseverance of your Bank's leadership. As we move to the build phase from the
sustain phase, our key focus areas are product diversification, customer acquisition,
increasing branch distribution and tech stack improvement. As3we expand, we will continue
our focus on opening more branches in the central and northern parts of the country. We
would continue to attract more customers by adding more verticals, services and products
to our portfolio. We have adopted the path of aggressively investing in digital to
"build for scale". The exponential surge in digital banking users serves as a
tangible testament to the success of our digital strategies, enthralling us to forge ahead
on digital initiatives on the horizon of our SBS-2030. Today, we compete with banks as
well as fintech, but we would continue to explore the partnership route to grow our fee
income. All with the quest of enhancing our customer experience and satisfaction.
Over the mid-term, as we take efforts to become a mid-sized bank, we
will focus on technology, profitability, asset quality and human strategy. Our endeavour
is to continuously strengthen the Bank's balance sheet. With our SBS 2030 (Sustain, Build,
Scale) strategy, we aim at sustaining strong foundations and critical strengths, building
the future highway through investments in technology, digital infrastructure, people,
leadership, products and processes, and scaling to the next level of growth and
excellence. The main pillars of the strategy are growth with a strong corporate governance
culture in the Bank supported by audit, compliance, risk management, and vigilance
functions.
Governance, Social and Environmental
Our esteemed Bank upholds a resilient governance structure fortified by
an experienced Board. We3firmly3believe that our robust corporate governance culture plays
a pivotal role in cultivating and nurturing investor confidence. Adhering to the highest
standards, we consistently embrace best practices in corporate governance, exemplifying an
unwavering commitment to transparency, integrity, and regulatory compliance.
We at CSB wholeheartedly embrace the ESG (Environment, Social and
Governance) principles, seamlessly integrating them into our business operations.
Our CSR programmes are dedicated to empowering society by investing in
educational, healthcare and gender equality programmes that benefit vulnerable groups,
exemplifying our unwavering commitment to social causes and the betterment of our
community. We have utilised our budget entirely for the said selective activities. Our aim
is to expand our community outreach through thoughtfully devised CSR initiatives,
fostering a more inclusive environment for the well-being and advancement of vulnerable
communities at local and national levels.
Our Leadership
We are diligently building a robust leadership framework that is primed
for the future under the proficient leadership of Mr. Pralay Mondal, who possesses an
extensive 30+ years of invaluable banking experience. With the recent induction at the
senior management level and a few more in the offing, our ongoing leadership transition
programme that started in 2022 is steadily approaching its culmination. I have full
confidence in the capabilities of this team and strongly believe that the team will scale
up our operations and successfully deliver on our vision of SBS 2030, positioning us as a
mid-sized Bank with a pan-India presence, catering to a comprehensive range of services to
customers.
Concluding Remarks
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our valued
customers, dedicated associates, trusted partners, and well-wishers for their unwavering
support and loyalty. We are deeply grateful to regulatory bodies such as RBI, SEBI, and
Stock Exchanges, as well as the Central Government and State Governments for their
invaluable guidance and support throughout our3journey. I extend a special appreciation to
our senior management team for their exceptional execution capabilities leading to our
success. I would also like to3acknowledge and honour every member of our staff for their
dedication, hard work and determination. It is them who have propelled us forward,
unlocking a period of pride and fulfilment for the Bank.
Warm regards
