Introduction of banking in India: History of banking:


The history of banking is closely related to the history of money. As a society became more civilized the need for more efficient methods for Barter was developed organically. Leaders, such as wars can trace most origins of money back to the building of large structures such as temples or large undertakings. The concept of an I Owe you (IOU) preceded the idea of a paper check by several thousand years. The world Bank just means Bench, because a lender or borrower needs to display wars on a flat surface in order to determine value. A money changer is a person who either changes currencies or changes good into coins, like a pawnshop. Considering the biblical story of Christ driving the money changers from the temple, they haven been around the long time. With the concept of banking and money comes the question of dependability banking as w known it today is a fairly low risk business for an investor of a saving account. From ancient times, the value of money was determined by its weight in gold, as to the invention of the

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 14

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
paper check, or paper money, in the early 1600s, although much lighter to transport, paper money was much less dependable for the carrier. The paper was only worth the reputation of the money changer that signed it. Paper money was not only earlier to carry, it was easier to steal. For this reason, professional money changes dial all they could to ensure the appearance of liquidity and dependability.

Earliest Banks:
The very first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world. In them were stored gold in the form of easy to carry compressed plates. Their owners justify felt that temples were the safety places to store their gold as they were constantly attended, well built and were sacred, thus deterring would be thieves. There are extent records of loans from the 18th century B.C. in Babylon that were made by temple priests to merchants. Ancient Greece holds further evidence of banking Greek temples as well as private and civic entities conduction financial such as loans, deposits, currency exchanges and validation of coinage. Interesting, there is evidence too of credit, where by in returns for a payment from a client, a money lender in one Greek port would write a credit note for the client who called Cash the note in another city, savings the clients the danger of carting with in his journey. Ancient Rome perfected the administrative aspect of banking and saw greater regulation of financial practices charging interest on loans and paying interest on deposits became more highly developed and competitive.

Western Banking History:

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
Modern western economic and financial history is usually traced back to the houses of London. The London royal exchange was established in 1565. At that money charges were already called bankers. Though the term Bank usually referred to their offices and did not carry the meaning it does today. There was also a hierarchical order among professional, at the top were the bankers who did business with heads of state. Next was the pawn the city par shop or Lombard. Most European cites today have Lombard street where the pawn shop was located.

Christian sculptures:
The ascent of Christianity in Rome and its influence restricted banking as the charging of interest and usually were seen as immoral. Jewish entrepreneurs, free of Christian taboo about money, established themselves in the provision of financial services increasingly demanded by the expansion of European trade and commerce. Ironically, the people bankers were the most successful of the western world. When Pope John XII (born) Jacques DEuse (1249-13340 was crowned in Lyon in 1316, he set up residency in Avignon. During this papal, schism which lasted until 1378, the central Vatican citied were in the area surrounding Avignon. The companying growth of Italian banking in France was start of Lombard money changers. In Europe, who moved from city to city along the busy pilgrim routes important for trade. Key cities in this period were Cashors, the birthplace of Pope John XII and Figeac. Perhaps it was because of these origins that the term LOMBAR is synonymous with Cahors in medieval Europe and means Pawn Brokers.

CHAPTER-5 THEORITICAL BACKGROUND

Introduction to Dividends:
Dividends are payments made by a bank to its share holders. It is the portion of bank profits paid out to shareholders. When a bank earns a profit or surplus that money can be put to two uses: it can either be re-invested in the business (called Retained Earnings), or it can be paid to shareholders of the bank as a Dividend. Paying dividends is not an expense; rather it is the division of assets among shareholders. Many banks retain a portion of their earnings and pay the remainder as dividend. Publicly traded banks usually pay dividend s on a fixed schedule, but may declare a dividend at any time, sometimes called a Special Dividend to distinguish it from a regular one. Dividends are usually settled on a cash basis, as a payment from the bank to the shareholder. They can also take the form of shares in the bank (either newly- created shares or existing shares bought in the market) and many banks offer dividend reinvestment plans which automatically use the cash dividend to purchase additional shares for the share holders.

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 38

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
The profits of a bank can either be reinvested in the business or paid to its shareholders as a dividend. The frequency of these varies by country. In the United States dividends of publicly-traded banks are usually declared quarterly by the board of directors. In some other countries dividend are paid biannually, as an interim dividend of the board of directors. Shareholders are explicitly forbidden from introducing shareholders resolutions involving specific amounts of dividends where a bank makes a loss during a year, it may opt to continue paying dividends from the retained earnings from previous years or to discontinue the dividend. Where a company receives a non-recurring gain, e.g. from some assets and no plans to reinvest the proceeds, the money is often returned to shareholders in the form of a special dividend. This type of dividend is often larger than usual and occurs outside of the normal dividend distribution schedule.

Forms of payment 1. Cash dividends:


Cash dividends (most common) are those paid out in form of cheques. Such dividends are a form of investment income and are usually taxable to the recipient in the year they are paid. This is the most common method of sharing corporate profits with the shareholders of the bank.

2. Stock dividends:
Stock or Scrip dividends are those paid out in form of additional stock shares of the issuing corporation, or other corporation (e.g. its subsidiary corporation). They are usually issued in proportion to share owned (e.g. for every 100 share of stock owned, 5% stock dividend will yield 5 extra shares). This is very similar to a stock split in that it

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 39

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
increases the total number of shares while lowering the price of each share and does not change the market capitalization or the total value of the shares held.

3. Property dividend:
Property dividend or dividends in Specie (Latin for in kind) are those paid out in form of assets from the issuing corporation or another corporation, such as a subsidiary corporation. They are relatively rare and most frequently are securities of other banks owned by the issue, however they can take other forms. Ex: - Products or Services.

4. Other divisions:
Other dividends can be used in structured finance. Financial assets with a known market value can be distributed as dividends; warrants are sometimes distributed in this way. For large banks with subsidiaries, dividends can take the form of shares in a subsidiary bank. A common technique for Spinning off a bank from its parent is to distribute in the new bank to the old banks shareholders. The new shares can then be traded independently.

5. Dividend Dates:
Dividends must be declared (approved) by banks Board of Directors each time they are paid. There are four important dates to remember regarding dividends.

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 40

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD 6. Declaration Dates:


The declaration date is the day the Board of directors announces its intension to pay a dividend. On this day, a liability is created and the bank records that liability on its books, it now owes the money to stockholders. On the declaration date, the Board will also announce a date of record and a payment date.

7. Ex-Dividend Date:
The ex-dividend date is the day on which all shares brought and sold no longer come attached with the right to be paid the most recently declared dividends. This is an important date for any bank that has many stockholders, including those that trade on exchanges, as it makes reconciliation of who is to be paid the dividend easier. Existing holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they now sell the stock, where as anyone who now buys the stock will receive the dividend, where as any holders selling the stock loses their right to the dividend. On and after this date the stock becomes exdividend.

8. Record Date:
Shareholders who properly registered their ownership on or before the date of record will receive the dividend. Shareholders who are not registered as of this date will not receive the dividend. Registration in most countries is essentially automatic for shares purchased before the ex-dividend date.

9. Payment Date:
The payment date is the day when the dividend checks will actually be mailed to the shareholders of a bank or credited to brokerage accounts.

LTD Benefits to Shareholders:


Shareholders have their own personal cash needs and self-select the banks whose dividends satisfy these. Preferred shareholders like common share dividends because it creates a cushion that must be cut before their own dividends are. Shareholders feel that the risk of returns form reinvestment earning at a later date is higher than the risk of cash received today.

DIVIDEND POLICY
Corporate dividend policy has captured the interest of economists of this century and over the last five decades has been the subject of intensive theoretical modeling and empirical examination. A number of conflicting theoretical models (all lacking strong empirical support) define current attempts to explain corporate dividend behavior. Initial forays into theorizing corporate dividend policy are divided as to their prediction of the dividend payments effect on share price. Over the last century, three schools of thought have emerged. One faction sees dividends as attractive and as a positive influence on stock prices. A second block believes that stock prices are negatively corrected with dividend payout levels. The third group of theories maintains that firm dividend policy is irrelevant in stock price valuation. Theoretical and empirical models of corporate dividend policy of late better separate into a different taxonomy. The qualifying criterion is the nature of the market structure and/or the underlying rationale of the investor. Accordingly, recent models are broadly segregated, based on their rationale, into models formulated in states with full

information, models in states with information, models in states with information asymmetries and models using behavioral principles.

DIVIDENDTHEORIES: A. Full information Models- The Tax Factor


Tax-adjusted models surmise that investor requires and secure higher expected returns on shares of dividend-policy stocks. The imposition of a tax liability on dividends causes the dividend payment to be grossed up to increase the shareholders per-tax return. Under capital assets pricing theory, investors offer a lower price for the share because of the future tax liability of the dividend payment. One consequence of the tax-adjusted model is the division of investors into dividend tax clienteles, an argument first proposed in the seminal work of Miller and Modigliani. In later research, Modigliani finds that the clientele effects is responsible for only nominal alterations in portfolio composition rather than the major differences predicted by Miller. Masulis and Trueman model cash dividend payment as products of deferred dividend costs. Their model predicts that investors with differing tax liabilities will not be uniform in their ideal firm investment/dividend policy.

B. Models of information Asymmetries Signaling models:


The model imperfection of asymmetric information is the basis of three distinct efforts to explain corporate dividend policy. The mitigation of the information asymmetries between manager and owners via unexpected changes in dividend policy is the cornerstone for dividend signaling models. Agency cost theory uses dividend policy

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 44

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
to better align the interests of share holders and corporate mangers. The free cash flow hypothesis is an ad hoc combination of the signaling and agency costs paradigms; the payment of dividends can decrease the level of funds available for perquisite consumption by corporate mangers. Akerlofs model of the used car market as a pooling equilibrium in the absence of signaling activities illuminates the costs of information asymmetries. The generalization of Akerlofs model by Spence became the prototype for all financial models of signaling.

1. Agency Cost:
The recognition of potential agency costs associated with the separation of management and ownership is not new; differences in managerial and shareholder priorities have been recognized for more than three centuries. Adam Smith adjudged the management of early joint stock companies to be negligent in many of their activities. These problems were especially prevalent in the British East Indies Company and attempts to monitor managers were largely unsuccessful because of inefficiencies and costs associated with shareholder monitoring. Scott and Carlos question this assertion while control and organization were less than ideal, the continued success and long life of the corporation imply generally sound managerial practices. Although some fraud no doubt existed, the majority of the managerial activities coincided with shareholder desires. Modern Agency theory seeks to explain corporate capital structure as the results of attempts to minimize the costs associated with the separation of corporate ownership and control.

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 45

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
Agency costs are lower in firms with high managerial ownership stakes because of the better alignment of shareholders and manager goals (Jensen and Meckling) and in firms with large block shareholders that are better able to monitor managerial activities ( Shleifer and Vishney). Agency problems results from information asymmetries, potential wealth transfers from bondholders to stockholders that the acceptance of high-risk and high-returns projects by managers, and failure to accept positive net present managers (Barnea, Haugen and Senbet). Dividend policy influences these relations in two ways. Fama and Jensen espouse that potential shareholder and bondholder conflicts can be mitigated by covenants governing claim priority. These orderings can be circumvented by large dividend payment to stockholders. Debt covenants to minimize dividend payment are necessary to prevent bondholder wealth transfers to shareholder (John and Kalay). Although potentially substantial in precipitation of agency costs, its dividend policy is not a major source of bondholder wealth expropriation. In firms where dividend payouts are limited by bondholder covenants, dividend payout levels are still bellow the maximum levels by the constraints. value projects and perquisite consumption in excess of the level consumed by prudent corporate

The second way dividend policy affects costs is the reduction of these costs through increased monitoring by capital markets. Large dividend payments reduce funds available for perquisite consumption and investments opportunities and require managers to seek financing in capital markets. The efficient monitoring of capital markets reduces less than optimal investment activity and excess perquisite consumption and hence reduces the costs associated with ownerships and control separation (Easterbrook).

LTD

2. The Cash Flow Hypothesis:


Prudent manager working in the shareholders best interests should invest in all profitable opportunities. Management and owner separation affords corporate managers the temptation however to consume or other view waste surplus funds. The inefficient use of funds in excess of profitable investment opportunities by management was first recognized by Berle and Means. Jensens free cash flow hypothesis updated this assertion, combining market information asymmetries with agency theory. The funds remaining after financing all positive net present value projects cause conflicts of interest between managers and shareholders. Dividend and debt interest payments decrease the free cash flow available to manager perquisite consumption. This combination of agency and signaling theory should better explains dividend policy than either theory alone, but the free cash flow hypothesis does a better job of rationalizing the corporate takeover frenzy of the 1980s (Myers) than it does of providing a comprehensive and observable dividend policy.

Behavioral Models
No paradigm discussed thus far completely explains observed corporate dividend behavior is substantially influenced by financial theorists for the most part because unfortunately, this motivation has been ignored by financial theorists for the most part because of the difficulty of introducing investor behavior into traditional financial pricing models (Arbel, Carvell and Postnieks). According to Shiller, including these influences in

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 47

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
modeling efforts can enrich the development of a theory to explain the endurance of corporate dividend policy. Ordinary investors are faced not with risk, but with uncertainty- -a lack of concise judgment and sense of objectives evidence (Knights). Social pressures can lead to errors in judgment and trading activities by shareholders that cannot be logically explained. These errors in judgment are only mistakes, not lapses of rational investment activity. Mass investors psychology profoundly influences aggregate market activity (Shiller). Dividend policy is inconsistent with maximization of the shareholders and is better explained by the addition of a socioeconomic-behavior paradigm into economic models. Dividend payouts can be viewed as the socioeconomics repercussion of corporate evolution the information asymmetries between manager s and shareholders causes dividend to be paid to increase the attractiveness of equity issues the systematic relation between industry type and dividend policy reported by Michel implies that managers are influenced by the actions of executives from competitive firms when determining dividend payouts levels. Managers, realizing that shareholders desire dividends, pay or increases dividend to mollify investors (Frankfurter and Lane). Dividend payouts to shareholders should help increase the corporations stability by serving as a ritualistic reminder of the managerial and owner relationship (Ho and Robinson). As Frankfurter and Lane contend, dividends are partially a tradition and a method to allay investor anxiety.

Managerial Surveys:
Lintner surveyed corporate chief executive officers and chief financial officers and found that dividend policy is an active decision variable because managers believes that stable dividends lessen negative inventor reactions. The active determination of dividend

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
policy implies that the level of retained earnings and savings is a dividend decision byproduct. Darling, Turnovsky, Fama and Babiak find empirical support for Lintners findings; dividends are a function of current and past profit levels, and expected future earnings and are negatively correlated with changes in the levels of sales. Current income remains the critical determinant of corporate deveined policy 25 years after Lintners original survey (DeAngelo, DeAngelo and Skinner). Other factors not considered by Lintner (regulatory constraints, investment magnitude, debt and firm size) also affect dividend policy. Variations in dividend policy are primarily due to a combination of endogenous and exogenous element (Dhrymes and Kurz). Harkins and Walsh find that shareholder dividend desires and management need have retained earning for investment opportunities conflict. A compromise policy partially satisfying both parities is chosen. Managers consider current and expected earnings, dividend payment history, dividend level stability, cash flows and investment opportunities, and shareholder desires in their determination of the payout level. Surveys of chief financial officers (CFOs) by Baker, Farrelly, and Edelman and Baker and Farelly confirm the Lintner results. The CFOs cite the importance of dividend continuity, the belief that share prices are affected by dividend policy, and the difference in classification of regular and unusual cash flows as important determinants of dividend policy. Managerial views of dividend policy are essential unchanged 30 years after Lintners study dividends are paid because shareholders expect continued dividend growth and managers believe investors want to receive dividends. Managers believe that dividend payments are necessary to maintain or increase share price and to attract new

LTD
investors. Dividend payout policy in determined using criteria including sustainability, current firm profitability, future cash flow expectations and industry norms.

Theoretical Behavioral Models:


Feldstein and Green model the corporate dividend decision as the last step in a process the evaluates inputs from five sources. First, dividend policy is a consequence of investors consumption needs. The tax liabilities from dividend payment are less than the transaction costs of selling shares to provide income if earnings are retained. Second, the market value of retained earnings is less than the market value of dividends. Third, dividend payment is consists with steady state growth and an optimal debt/equity ratio. Fourth, dividend payment are a byproduct of the separation of corporation owners and managers; dividend payments help to diminish agency costs arising from separation of corporate owners and managers and are used for signaling activities. Finally, although asymmetric information and agency costs are present in the model, the paradigm is not dependent on these market imperfections. The involvement of shareholders with diverse tax liabilities and diversification goals in an equilibrium with uncertainty results in dividend payments. Shefrin and Statman explain dividend preference by using the theory of self control (Thaler and Shefrin) and the descriptive theory of choice under uncertainty (Kahenman and Tversky). Information models are used to justify the presence of corporate dividend while the tax liability of dividends is used as a counter argument. This model is also consistent with dividend clienteles. Dividend and capital gains are not always perfect substitutes (even in a world without taxes and transaction costs) because of a lack of self-control to delay gravitation (Thaler and Shefrin). In financial theory, dividends and capital gains have the same

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 50

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
value; this is not the case in a world modeled using the theory of self-control. Dividend checks are appreciated more than capital gains provide an automatic control device on spending levels (Thaler). Risky alternatives, costs, and payoffs are evaluated separately. The greater effects show following dividend decreases also supports this contention; losses are more significant than gains. Kahneman and Tversky posit that the sale of shares of stock causes more investor regret and anxiety than the spending of the cash received from dividend payments. A subsequent prices rise of shares sold for income needs increases the shareholders contribution. Clearly, in this model, capital gains and dividend are not perfect substitutes. Regret aversion can induce a preference for dividends through the use of a consumption rule based on the utilization of dividends, not invested capital. Dividend yields are positively correlated with the planed dissaving rate. If dissaving is positively related to age and negatively related to incomes, portfolio dividend yields will be positively correlated with age and negatively correlated with income. Marsh and Merton develop a rational expectations model of dividend policy as managements response to permanent earnings. In equilibrium, dividend levels are determined using future earnings expectations. Using dividends as signals is incompatible with this model.

Determinants of dividend policy


The payment of dividend involves some legal as well as financial considerations. It is difficult to determine a general dividend policy which can be followed by different firms at different times because the dividend decision has to be taken considering the special circumstances of an individual case. The following are the important factors which determine the dividend policy of a firm.

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 51

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD 1. Legal Restrictions:


Legal provisions relating to dividends as laid sections 93,205,205A, 206 and 207 of the Companies Act, 1956 are significant because they lay down a framework within which dividend policy is formulated. These provisions requires that the dividend can be paid only out of current profits or past profits after providing for depreciation or out of the moneys provided by Government for the payment of dividends in pursuance of a guarantee given by the Government. The companies (Transfer of profits to Reserves) Rules, 1975 requires a company providing more than ten percent dividend to transfer certain percentage of the current years profits to reserves.

2. Magnitude and Trend of Earnings:


The amount and trend of earnings in an important aspect of dividend policy. It is rather the starting point of the dividend policy. As dividends can be paid only out of present or past years profits earnings of a company fix the upper limits on dividend.

3. Desire and Type of Shareholders:


Although, legally, the discretion as to whether to declare dividend or not has been left with the Board of Directors, the directors should give the importance to the desires of the shareholders in the declaration of dividends are the representatives of shareholders. Desires of shareholders for dividend depend upon their economic status. Investors, such as retried persons, widows and other economically weaker persons view dividends depend upon their economic status.

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 52

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD

4. Nature of Industry:
Nature of industry to which the company is engaged also considerably affects the dividend policy. Certain industries have a comparatively steady and stable demand irrespective of the prevailing economics conditions. For instance, people used to drink liquor both in boom as well as in recession. Such firms expect regular earnings and hence can follow a consistent dividend policy. On the other hand, if the earnings are uncertain, as in the case of luxury goods, conservative policy should be followed.

5. Age of the company:


The age of the company also influences the dividend decision of a company. A newly established concern has to limit payment of dividend and retain substantial part of earnings for financing its future growth and development, while older companies which have established sufficient reserves can afford to pay liberal dividends.

6. Governments Economic Policy:


The dividend policy of a firm has also to be adjusted to the economic policy of the Government as was the case when the Temporary Restriction on Payment of Dividend Ordinance was in force. In 1974 and 1975, companies were allowed to

Dept. of commerce, Vidyavahini PG college, Tumkur-572103 Page 53

AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON DIVIDEND POLICY AT SUCB

LTD
pay dividends not more than 33 percent of their profits or 12 percent on the paidup value of the shares, whichever was lower.

7. Taxation policy:
The taxation policy of the Government also affects the dividend decision of a firm. A high or low rate of business taxation affects the net earnings of company (after rax) and thereby its dividend policy. Similarly, a firms dividend policy may be dictated by the income-tax status of its shareholders. If the dividend income of shareholders is heavily taxed being in high income bracket, the shareholders may forego cash dividend and prefer bonus shares and capital gains.

8. Inflation:
Inflation acts as a constraint in the payment of dividends. Profits as arrived from the profit and loss accounts on the basis of historical cost have a tendency to be overstated in times of rise in prices due to over valuation of stocks-in-trade and writing off depreciation on fixed assets at lower rates. As a result, when prices rise, funds generated by depreciation would not be adequate to replace fixed assets, and hence to maintain the same assets and capital intact, substantial part of the current earning would be retained. Otherwise, imaginary and inflated book profits in the days of rising prices would amount to payment of dividend much more than warranted by the real profits, out of the equity capital resulting in erosion of capital.

Suggestion:

1. The capital position of the profitability of the bank shows increasing tendency, hence the bank may identify new investment avenues which increases the profitability without affecting the liquidity position of the bank. 2. The present dividend policy of the bank is 10% on net profit which may be kept as a standard dividend policy and an additional amount of dividend may be declared which will help the bank to raise further capital by winning the confidence of the shareholders.

3. Shareholders net worth, profitability, liquidity and retained earnings shows increasing tendency and it is the right time for the bank to go for expansion of the branch and also identify the sector in the urban area which is not covered by any other U.C.B in Tumkur, which will promote the neglected sector of the urban society and which also helps the bank in promoting the economic condition of the urban population. 4. Since Tumkur is a developing city considered as center for learning, hence the bank may think of lending money to educational institute who will support the poor community of the urban population in the educational field.
