employees, the Bank has made a rapid growth over the years and blossomed into a mighty
institution with a strong national presence and sizable international operations. In business
volume, the Bank occupies a premier position among the nationalized banks.
The Bank has 2644 branches in India spread over all states/ union territories including 93
specialized branches. These branches are controlled through 48 Zonal Offices . There are 24 branches/ offices (including three representative offices) abroad.

successful blend of traditional values and ethics and the most modern infrastructure. The
Bank has been the first among the nationalized banks to establish a fully computerized branch

Founder Member of SWIFT in India. It pioneered the introduction of the Health Code System
in 1982, for evaluating/ rating its credit portfolio.
The Bank's association with the capital market goes back to 1921 when it entered into an
agreement with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to manage the BSE Clearing House. It is an
association that has blossomed into a joint venture with BSE, called the BOI Shareholding
Ltd. to extend depository services to the stock broking community. Bank of India was the first
Indian Bank to open a branch outside the country, at London, in 1946, and also the first to open
a branch in Europe, Paris in 1974.The Bank has sizable presence abroad, with a network of 23
branches (including three representative office)at key banking and financial centers viz.

The Bank has a strong position in financing foreign trade. Over 270 branches provide export
credit. The expertise in this area has enabled the Bank to achieve a leading position in
providing export credit in certain areas like diamond export.
The Bank has identified specialized target groups to develop core advantage for future
growth. The Bank, has specialized branches comprising of Corporate Banking Branches to
undertake very large credit business, Overseas Branches specializing in Foreign Exchange
Business, NRI Branches which specially cater to the requirements of Non-Resident Indians,

Personal Banking Branches cater to the requirements of high net worth customers. Apart
from this, the Bank also has specialized Branches for Asset Recovery, Small Scale Industries,
Hi-tech Agriculture Finance, Lease Finance and Treasury.

headway in bringing about technological up gradation. MIS and critical functions of
controlling offices have been computerized. At present, the operations at about 2618 branches
are totally computerized. 26 branches operate in partially computerized mode besides these
1019 branches and 31 extension counters are migrated to Core Banking Solution. New

Introduction of Cash Management
Manage your cash flow and liquidity-Effectively and Efficiently
For any organization, cash is the lifeblood that keeps the business going. That
is why, increasingly, Cash Management has been gaining importance with organizations
that view the services as a crucial part of their corporate strategies.
Cash Management is Efficient Management of cash (Outflows/Inflows) to improve liquidity and
returns while implementing adequate control and managing risks.
Cash Management can generally be defined as the efficient utilization of cash through coordinated
management of payments, collections and cash balances. The objectives are to reduce costs, enhance
control and optimize returns as well as reduce the inventory holdings.
Traditionally, cash management involved personalized services offered by the bank's staff to the
company's treasurer via mails, telephone, calls, faxes etc or visits to the bank initiated transactions. But
with the advent of computer technology, cash management services have been automated to a large
extent. Many banks now allow their corporate customers to perform online inquiries and transaction
services (payment, collection and liquidity management) through PC or Internet via a web interface.
With such a system in place, a company can perform most of the cash management functions
themselves without relying on a bank staff to act as the executor of their requests.

Cash Management helps the organization in:
Properly timing the disbursements.
Some payments must be made on a specified or legal date, such as Social Security payments.
For such payments, there is no cash management decision. For other payments, such as
vendor payments, discretion in timing is possible. Government vendors face the same cash
management needs as the Government. They want to accelerate collections. One way vendors
can do this is to offer discount terms for timely payment for goods sold.
Eliminating idle cash balances.
Every Rupee held as cash rather than used to augment revenues or decrease expenditures
represents a lost opportunity. Funds that are not needed to cover expected transactions can be
used to buy back outstanding debt (and cease a flow of funds out of the Treasury for interest
payments) or can be invested to generate a flow of funds into the Treasury’s account.
Minimizing idle cash balances requires accurate information about expected receipts and
likely disbursements.
Ensuring timely deposit of collections.
Having funds in-hand is better than having accounts receivable. The cash is easier to convert
immediately into value or goods. A receivable, an item to be converted in the future, often is
subject to a transaction delay or a depreciation of value. Once funds are due to the
Government, they should be converted to cash-in-hand immediately and deposited in the
Treasury's account as soon as possible.
Monitoring exposure and reducing risks
The Banks have the responsibility to use timely, reliable, and comprehensive financial
information and systems. To that end, banks encourage to improve their cash management
practices by using electronic funds transfer (EFT) whenever cost effective, practicable, and
consistent with statutory authority. So there is a need to monitor the exposure and reduce the
risk.

Cash Management Services - Indian Scenario
The need for cash management aroused two decades ago in the mid eighties when the Indian
corporates were facing various problems like the uncertainty as to when funds would be made
available to them, the problem of long transit period between banking cheques and receiving funds,
long period of administrative work in banking cheques and tracking progress and reconciliation
problems regarding uncertainty of inflows and lack of details on each credit to the account.
It is important to review the Indian scenario in this regard. As we are all aware, that the banks’ desire
for funds has lost because of the slowdown. Despite the offer of very soft terms corporates are
refusing to borrow, while bank deposits have been ballooning. Compelled to service the burgeoning
liabilities, but unable to lend hastily and allow their non-performing assets (NPAs) to grow, bankers
are forced to compete for the handful of safe bets among their borrowers. Banks chose to use the
opportunity to refocus their activities, seeking clearly defined identities in terms of services and
customer segments. Most of them concentrated on cleaning up their books by peeling down their
NPAs. All of them are attempting for freezing of costs, improving operational efficiencies, and
boosting productivity. The strategy of the banks, which are performing well, is to use fee-based
services to maintain their earnings growth. With interest rates falling, non-interest income is,
unsurprisingly, the fastest-growing component of the banks’ total income. Fee-based activities will
complement though not substitute the core business of lending. With rising interest rates too,
Corporate and others are not willing to borrow, fee-based services play again an active role in
boosting a Bank’s total income.
It is gratifying to note that a number of banks in India are offering wide-ranging cash management
services to their corporate clients. All the three categories of banks viz., nationalized banks, private
banks, and foreign banks operating in India are active in the cash management segment. SBI, PNB,
Corporation, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Centurion Bank of Punjab and ING Vysya Bank, are some of
the active Indian banks in this segment. Citi Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, ABN Amro Bank, BNP
Paribus, and HSBC are the foreign banks operating in India, which are prominent among the cash
management services providers. Indian banks are offering services like electronic funds transfer
services, provision of cash related MIS reports, cash pooling services, collection services, debit
transfer services, guaranteed credit arrangements, sweep products, tax payment services, receivables
and payables management. Foreign banks operating in India are offering regional and global treasury
management services, liquidity management services, card services, electronic banking services, e-
commerce solutions, account management services, collection management services, cash delivery

management services and investment solutions. Banks realized that if they do not offer the services
required by corporate customers it would result in a net loss of clientele, returns and goodwill. Banks
in India need to continuously monitor international trends in innovations taking place in providing
cash management services and swiftly offer similar services to their corporate clients.
The Reserve Bank of India is taking a number of initiatives, which has facilitated the active
involvement of commercial banks in the sophisticated cash management segment. One of the pre-
requisites is to ensure faster and reliable mobility of funds in a country and to have an efficient
payment system. Considering the importance of a robust payment system to the economy, the RBI
has been taking numerous measures since mid Eighties to strengthen the payments mechanism in the
country. Introduction of computerized settlement of clearing transactions, use of Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition technology, provision of inter-city clearing facilities and high value clearing
facilities, Electronic Clearing Service Scheme , Electronic Funds Transfer scheme, Delivery vs.
Payment for Government securities transactions, setting up of Indian Financial Network are some of
the significant initiatives which highlight the seriousness with which the Reserve Bank has taken up
the reforms in Payment systems. Introduction of a Centralized Funds Management System , Securities
Services System , Real Time Gross Settlement System and Structured Financial Messaging System
are on the top priority items of the agenda to transform the existing systems into a state-of-the-art
payment infrastructure in India by the Reserve Bank. The current vision envisaged for the payment
systems reforms is one, which contemplates linking up of at least all important bank branches with
the domestic payment systems network thereby facilitating cross border connectivity. With the help
of the systems already put in place in India and which are coming into being, both banks and
corporates can exercise effective control over the cash management.

Framework for effective Cash Management Services
Companies seek to achieve synergies by implementing a simplified account structure and through
rationalizing the number of banks used. In advising companies on the optimal account structure, it is
important to bear in mind the nature of company’s funds flows. The aim is to maximize control,
efficiency and returns. Banks need to work with its clients to ensure that arrangements are in place to
assist them in maximizing returns from an otherwise idle fund. Experience of local banking regulations
and market practices can ensure client’s preferred structure. Greater challenges lie in tying together
multiple accounts into a cohesive structure to manage liquidity efficiently, often across numerous time
zones and currencies. To meet the needs of international corporate and institutional clients, banks
should have a wide range of customized products and services. Often companies should maintain
multiple banking relationships for their cash management. Movement of funds between accounts across
banks is generally inefficient, costly and time-consuming. Cash status is not readily available, often
causing unnecessary usage of overdrafts or return of issued checks. Untimely payments can also result
in penalty and other charges. With multiple accounts, account reconciliation is usually difficult to be
kept current, making control virtually impossible. So for effective cash management there is a need for
multiple banking relationships which is often due to the lack of comprehensive service offered by a
bank, the difficulty in accessing particular services of a bank, or the varying degree of efficiency across
services of a bank. Many companies, including medium-sized enterprises, are now implementing
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to help manage the accounting process and gain better
control of their cash management. However, what several have found is that while internal processes are
more automated, the number of staff required to support their cash management operations has not
reduced. Without a comprehensive cash management solution from a bank, business finds it difficult to
reach the optimal operational and working capital efficiency level. Corporate treasurers cannot afford
to spend time worrying about routine payments and collections. So banks have to help clients to
successfully handle the large volumes of corporate client payments.
So in today's competitive market place, effectively managing cash flow can make the difference
between success and failure. And so the Banks offer a full range of receivables and payment services
to meet the complex cash management needs. Payments received from their buyers and made to their
suppliers are efficiently processed to optimize their cash flow position and to ensure the effective
management of their business' operating funds. The flow of receivables and payables can also be seen
through the web solution.

range of services from any Internet connection, which can help streamline banking process
quickly and efficiently. Sweep Services maintain liquidity and increase earnings without
