With over 1 million customers, the SME portfolio of Rs.1,89,534 crore as on 31st March, 2016 accounts for nearly 12% of your Bank’s total advances. The revival of business sentiment and growth in GDP has brought the focus sharply on the growth and viability of SME units.

Your Bank’s endeavour in driving SME growth rests on three pillars:
a) Customer Convenience
b) Risk Mitigation
c) Technology based digital offerings
In FY2016, Ecosystem Financing (Project Shikhar) has been started by your Bank to take advantage of growing e–Commerce footprint in the economy.
Your Bank’s focus had been on digital banking platform and launched various facilities for SMEs based on technology like Credit Risk Model to provide automated instant sanction of loans under e–tailer sellers financing, which is a truly disruptive offering, where loan to the seller is given at the click of a button. An in–house ‘Digital Tool’ is being used for instant sanction of loans to taxi operators or owners associated with a taxi aggregator’s platform.
Apart from this, your Bank is leveraging technology for capturing early warning signals and has introduced digital inspection of units. Overall, SBI is leveraging technology in every facet of the value chain, be it sourcing business, designing products, streamlining processes, improving delivery or monitoring and follow–up.
Your Bank has taken several initiatives to build its SME portfolio in a risk mitigated manner and has brought about significant changes in (i) Product Suite, (ii) Processes (iii) Delivery.

Your Bank has covered key products under Loan Origination & Loan Life Management Software (LOS & LL MS) which focus on capturing of pre–sanction process of credit portfolio, ensuring quality and uniform standards of credit dispensation and have robust record and information retrieval systems. Under this initiative in FY2016 your Bank has introduced digital inspection application through Tab & Mobiles which is a process of digitisation of presanction/ post sanction of SME units & collateral securities capturing location of the property/ place of business.

Developments FY2016
Project Shikhar was rolled out to gain first mover advantage in the e–Commerce space. The exponential growth in e–Commerce has thrown open a world of opportunities for MSMEs. New players have entered the market space and B2B & B2C space is growing in demand. Under this project, your Bank is working on various initiatives to pioneer an ecosystem for lending through partnerships with new business models.
Three SME ecosystems have been identified as focus areas e–Commerce, taxi aggregators and franchise finance.
(i) e–Commerce
Your Bank has developed a specialised offering for startups active in the e–commerce space. A pioneering innovative product “e–Smart SME” for financing merchants selling through e–commerce platforms has been designed. Tie–ups with leading e–Commerce companies, Snapdeal and Flipkart, have been established this year. This innovative product moves away from traditional balance sheet based lending to a cash flow based lending program. It uses an in–house developed proprietary credit model based on platform and surrogate data to assess eligibility. The entire process has been automated – ‘at the click of a button’ – from online application, uploading of documents, processing and sanction, all in less than a minute
– first time ever in the history of banks in India. The product was launched by your Bank’s Chairman & CEO of Snapdeal on 15th January 2016.
The seller no longer needs to submit traditional financial statements like Balance Sheet, P&L or Income tax returns to avail this financing facility. Your Bank has also developed a digital tool to identify any early signs of stress through the e–commerce platform data of the borrower
(ii) Taxi Aggregators
Taxi aggregators have been revolutionizing the way Indians commute – and your Bank has tied up with these aggregators to help individual drivers buy a car and become mini–entrepreneurs. Under this, your Bank has tied up with both Ola and Uber India to extend vehicle loans to drivers and operators associated with these platforms. A digital credit tool has been developed in–house by your Bank to automate the process and enable instant sanction. The tool was launched in partnership with Uber on 15th March, 2016 by your Bank’s Chairman & Uber President Asia Pacific.
Documentation needs have been significantly simplified for enabling faster loan disbursal process. Under the OLA cabs tie–up launched in FY2015, over 1,000 loans have been disbursed across 5 centres.
(iii) Franchise Finance
A comprehensive product suite has been designed to cater to the franchising model that is fast growing in India’s retail consumer segment. Franchise finance along with electronic dealer finance will provide a comprehensive, competitive solution for large industry majors.
The product suite now offers financing solutions for the franchisee’s initial capex investment, working capital and transaction related needs. Your Bank is tying up with large, reputed franchisors to extend this proposition to their new and existing franchisees. These loans will be risk mitigated through franchisor affiliation, comfort and repayment facilitation. Continuous sharing of data by franchisor will enable economic assessment of business model and identification of early warning signals for stressed franchisees.
Five tie–ups have been launched during the year – Philips, Medplus Pharmacy, Anytime Fitness, Lakme salon and Raymond.
(iv) Debit Cards & Acceptance Infrastructure (Merchant Acquiring Businesses) Your Bank realised early the need for doing banking the Smart way, in its pursuit towards becoming the ‘Banker to digital India. Your Bank has been putting significant efforts to upgrade its technology to the best in class, on an on–going basis and the capability to offer near JIT (Just in Time) service delivery environment across its delivery channels.

16) which is highest amongst the banks as per RBI data. In sync with the focus of Government of India to create a digital economy, your Bank has strengthened its Debit Card acceptance infrastructure by giving a vigorous thrust on installation of Point of Sale (PoS) terminals, thereby taking the numbers to over 3.02 lakh, up by 50% over last year with a market share of 21.70% of PoS terminals. During the FY2016, your Bank has registered a growth of 56% in terms of number of transactions and 60% in value of transactions. With a view to move the larger base of Debit Cardholders to PoS terminals as also to e–Commerce websites, awareness campaigns are being run on a regular basis. These measures zoomed the
Debit Card spends over “Point of Sale” and “e–Commerce” for the State Bank Group to ~Rs.41,500 crore for the FY2016, an increase of 36% from the previous year and taking the market share to over 26%.
