Deepak has posted on the current news around ICICI. See - ICICI's Disclosure See-Saws: Openly Making Fools Of UsFollowing is my comment . You can read the discussion and all the comments on his blogDeepak - Although it would be good to have more disclosure, it may be risky for a bank to do so also.In addition the changes in the loss estimates seem to be consistent with what is happening in the market. For derivatives, accounting requires that the losses of mark to market are passed through the P&L even if the contracts are held to maturity (see this year's berkshire hathaway AR for some discussion on this)So as the markets are deteriorating, the mark to market losses could increase and the bank will have to recognize them.

The new fund offer is open for subscription from November 15 to December 14, 2007. The fund will invest 51 per cent of its portfolio in high-yielding debt securities issued by real estate companies.

It will invest in real estate and related sectors such as cement, construction, metals, hotels, retail, banks and finance companies. According to National Housing Bank, India will have a shortage of over 20 million housing units and an incremental demand of 8-10 million each

In an effort to control its falling home loan disbursements, ICICI Bank recently snipped its interest rates on home loans by 50 basis points. The reductions will be applied to all loans below Rs 20 lakh.
The institution has decided to cut on rates following a decision by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to allow render more weightage to home loans up to Rs 20 lakh. Clearly, an increase in home loans can help the bank meet its sector obligations, says a bank official.

A mathematical challenges for those who love maths.Few months back, I came across ICICI Bank's "upto 100%" cash back offer. When you use their credit card for shopping, you get a six digit number and depending on the sum of these six digits, you'll get certain percentage of money back.This post is an attempt to interpret the mathematical probability of winning 100% cashback as well as other combinations. (I do not have a solution for this yet, expecting some help from my readers)The offer works like this: You use your ICICI Credit card and spend more than Rs 2000, your transaction slip will contain a 6 digit authorization code and you've to add the digits in the number to get the total. Depending on the total you get you'll get certain amount of cashback on your purchase. For example, if your 6 digits sum up to say 51, you'll get 100% refund while if its say 29 (i.e., for any sum between 15 and 30), you'll get 1% refund.Refer image for exact range and cash back offered.
