**[investwise]** South Indian Bank-Basel III compliant, Tier I CAR at 13%, Tier II-3 %

 

South Indian Bank-CAR 16% Is Second To ICICI Bank, and tops CAR of Axis, HDFC Bank and IndusInd Bank-conservative price target Rs 240-275

 

The Indian banks anyways meet most of the requirements and deductions of the Basel III norms. While the RBI has not prescribed any capital conservation buffer, the Indian banks always maintain tier I capital ratios in excess of 8%.

 

However, Indian banks can face three key issues with respect to Basel III norms:

 

n Being a growing economy, the credit growth may remain high for Indian banks which

may prompt the RBI to implement the counter cyclical buffer and thereby raising the

capital requirements for Indian banks. This may particularly affect the private sector

banks.

 

n For few of the banks (marked in grey in following table), the tier I capital is very much

near 8.5% with not very high government holding. These banks may face problems in

raising capital in 2017-18 if there are no changes in policies. However, IPDI and

PNCPS will help them raise non-core tier I capital.

 

n Few of the PSU banks like Corporation Bank and Andhra Bank still give good dividend

yields. However, the requirement of higher tier I capital may restrict their dividend

payout policy.
