EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Indian Economy is booming on the back of strong economic policies and a healthy

regulatory regime. The effects of this are far-reaching and have the potential to ultimately

achieve the high growth rates that the country is yearning for. The banking system lies at

the nucleus of a country’s development robust reforms are needed in India’s case to fulfill

that. The BASEL II accord.from the Bank of International Settlements attempts tp put in

the place sound frameworks of measuring and quantifying the risks associated with

banking operations. The paper seeks to showcase the changes that will emerge as a result

of banks adopting the international norms.

The structure of the paper is three-fold, where we begin by projecting the risk

management scenario and its effects on internal operations of a bank, followed by the

changes brought about in the banking sector of India and finally the macro effects on the

economy. This enables one to discern the complete scenario that will emerge in the years

ahead.

The Risk Management scenario will strengthen owing to the liberalization, regulation and

integration with global markets. Management of risks will be carried out proactively and

quality of credit will improve, leading to a stronger financial sector.

In the present paper the operational efficiency of the bank and different parameters

regarding Credit Rating & other constraints and attempt is made to make a cause & effect

relationship between different variables to give the answer of different issues.

INTRODUCTION

1.1. INDUSTRY PROFILE

Banking industry has revolutionized the transaction and financial services system

worldwide. Banking Industry services is nothing but the access of most of the banking

related services (Such as verification of accounts details, going with the transactions etc.)

In today’s world, progress of online services is available to all the customers of the

concerned bank and can accessed at any point of time and from anywhere provided the

place is equipped with the internet facility. Now-a-almost all the banks all over the world,

especially the multinational ones, provide their customers with online banking facilities.

The Indian Banking Industry can be categorized into-a) Non Scheduled Banks b) Scheduled Banks

Scheduled Banks constitute banks and co-operative banks. There are about 67,000

branches of scheduled banks spread across India. During the first phase of financial

reforms, there was a nationalization of 14 major banks in 1969. This crucial step led to a

shift from Class banking to Mass Banking. Since.

As far as the present scenario is concerned the banking industry is in a transition phase.

The public Sector Banks (PSBs), which are the foundation of the Indian system account

for more than 78 percent of the total banking industry assets. Unfortunately they are

burdened with the excessive Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) massive manpower & lack

of Modern Technology.

On the other hand the Private Sector Banks in India are witnessing immense progress.

They are leaders in Intent banking, mobile banking, phone Banking ATMs. On the other

hand Public Sector Banks are still facing the problem of unhappy employees. There has

been a decrease of 20 percent in the employee strength of the private sector in the wake of

the Voluntary Retirement Schemes (VRS). As far as foreign banks are concerned they are

likely to succeed in Indian.

Indus land bank was the first private bank to set up in India. IDBI, ING Vyasa Banks, SBI

Commercial and International Bank Ltd. Karur Vysya Bank Ltd. Bank of Rajasthan etc.

Basel II- A Move to meet global standards


In India, the RBI has implemented the Basel II norms. Basel II is the second of the Basel

Accords, which are recommendations on banking laws and regulations issued by the

Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

The purpose of Basel II, which was initially published in June 2004, is to create an

international standard that banking regulators can use when creating regulations about

how much capital banks need to put aside to guard against the types of financial and

operational risks banks face. Advocates of Basel II believe that such an international

standard can help project the international financial system from the types of problems

that might arise should a manor bank or a series of banks collapse. In practice, Basel II

attempts to accomplish this by setting up rigorous risk and capital management

requirements designed to ensure that a bank holds capital reserves appropriate to the risk

the bank exposes itself to through its lending and investment practices. Generally

speaking, these rules mean that the greater risk to which the bank is exposed, the greater

the amount of capital the bank needs to hold to safeguard its solvency and overall

economic.

Basel II uses a “three pillars” concept-(1) minimum capital requirements (addressing

risk), (2) supervisory review and (3) market discipline-to promote greater stability in the

financial system.

The first pillar

The first pillar deals with maintenance of regulatory capital calculated for three major

components of risk that a bank faces : credit risk, operational risk and market risk. Other

risks are not considered fully quantifiable at this stage.

The second pillar

The second pillar deals with the regulatory response to the first pillar, giving regulators

much improved “tools” over those available to them under Basel I . it also provides a

framework for dealing with all the other risks a bank may face, such as systemic risk,

pension risk concentration risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, liquidity risk and legal risk,

which the accord combines under the title of residual risk.

The third Pillar


The third pillar greatly increases the disclosures that the bank must make. This is

designed to allow the market to have a better picture of the overall risk position of the

bank and to allow the counter parties of the bank to price and deal appropriately.

Advantages of Basel II in India.

The plausible advantages that would have in store for India would be both banking as

well as non-banking.

Banking Opportunities

With second highest growth rate in the world and huge scientific and general work force,

India is now well recognized as one of the fast emerging nations in the world. A sound

and evolved banking system should thus be a prime requirement to support the hectic and

enhanced levels of domestic and international economic activities in the country. Though

India is credited with a strong banking system, still some better risk practices by Indian

banks are required. A majority of Indian banks are either at nascent or at a very low

level of competence in Credit, Market and Operational risk measurement and

management system. They are lagging behind in use of modem risk methodologies and

tools in comparison to their western counterparts. Economic reforms, higher market

dynamics and large-scale globalization demand a robust risk management system in the

Indian banks . as suggested by the recent Global Trust bank fiasco the current level of risk

based supervision and market disclosures are also not very satisfactory in the Indian

banking system. Basel II gives an opportunity and a framework for improvement to the

Indian banks. A Basel II compliant banking system will further enhance the image of

India in the League of Nations. The country rating of Indian will wurely improve, and

consequently facilitate a higher capital inflow in the country. This will tremendously help

India to move on the higher growth trajectory in the coming decades.

Non-Banking Opportunities

The major advantage of Basel II to India is going to be in the area of services.

Predominantly, It and manpower. The banks all over the world will have to make huge

investments in order to be the Basel II compliant. These investments will be mainly in the

areas of information technology system (Software tools Database management, Business

Intelligence, Hardware), training etc. to create risk infrastructure to address the three


compliance pillars of the Basel II. Here is the opportunity for consultancy and IT

companies in India and abroad. Indian IT companies with an established reputation of

system implementations and service support can and must use this opportunity to

enhance their business from the financial services domain. IT/ITES industry in banking

and financial services sector can enhance the present level of revenue from both on and off

site services related to Basel II compliance. Some of the Indian IT majors like Flexm,

Infosys and wipro are believed to be, in the advanced stage of preparation in terms of

product and services, to embark upon the business opportunities provided by Basel II.

1.4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Willaim B. English & William R. Nelson in their article bank risk rating of

business loan, published in 1998 based on federal research survey of 100

banks said that use of risk rating system is quite widespread but smaller bank

generally have less detailed than do larger bank. New survey also allows them

to asses the relationship between loan risk rating & loan term Riskier loan

generally carry higher rate of interest, even after taking account of other term

loan. There are more complex relationship between loan risk & other loan term.

Marwan Elkhoury in their discussion paper Credit Rating Agencies And Their

Potential Impact on Developing Countries, published in Jan’ 2008 said that

Credit rating agencies (CRAs) play a key rolein financial markets by helping to

reduce the informative asymmetry between lenders and investors, on one side,

and issuers on the other side, about the creditworthiness of companies or

countries. CRAs’ role has expanded with financial globalization and has

received an additional boost from Basel II which incorporates the rating of

CRAs into the rules for setting weights for credit risk. Rating tend to be sticky,

lagging markets, and overreact when they do change. This overreaction may

have aggravated financial crises in the recent past, contributing financial

instability and cross-country contagion.


Tor Jacobson jesper Linde Kasper Roszbach in their paper Credit Risk

Versus Capital requirements under Basel (( : are SME loans and retail

credit really different ? published in 2nd feb’2004 discuss about SME loan &

retail credit & realize that Much of the work done on the differences between

the risk properties of retail, SME and corporate credit has been based on

parameterized model of credit risk. He has used new quantitative evidence on

the implied credit loss distributions for two Swedish banks using aparametric

Monte Carlo re-sampling method following Carey {1998}. He said that that

retail credit and SME loans will receive a special treatment in recognition of the

fact that the riskiness of such exposure treatment in recognition of the fact that

the riskiness of such exposure derives to a greater extent from idiosyncratic risk

and much less from common factor risk.

Ms. Roopa Kudva, Executive Director and Chief Rating Officer,CRISIL

said that CRISIL bank loan rating mark a new era for use of credit rating by

banks. Hitherto, credit ratings were assigned mostly to capital market

instruments such as debentures, bonds and commercial paper. The use of

CRISIL rating by banks reflects the confidence the market has gained in using

credit rating as an advanced tool for measuring and managing credit risk,

CRISIL expects that Bank Loan Ratings will be a key input for appropriate

pricing of credit risk by banks.”

Lyn C. Thomas in their article A survey of credit and behavioral Scoring :

forecasting financial risk of lending to consumers, published on 31st may

2000 said that Credit scoring and behavioral scoring are the techniques that help

organizations decide whether or not to grant credit to consumers who apply to

them. This article surveys the techniques used-both statistical and operational

research based- to support these decisions. It also discusses the need to

incorporate economic conditions into the scoring systems and the way the

systems could change from estimating the probability of a consumer defaulting

to estimating the profit a consumer will bring to the lending organization-two of

the major developments being attempted in the area. It points out how

successful has been this under-researched area of forecasting risk..


Barry Eichengreen and Ashoka Mody in their paper Lending booms,

reserves and the sustainability of short-term debt: inferences from the

pricing of syndicated bank loans, published in 28th Aug.’ 2008 analyse that the

determinants of spreads on syndicated bank lending to emerging markets,

treating the loan-extension and pricing decisions as jointly determined.

Compared to the bond market, their findings highlight the role of international

banks in providing credit to smaller borrowers about whom information is least

complete and, more generally, support the interpretation of bank finance as

dominating that segment of international financial markets characterized by the

most pronounced information asymmetries. Domestic lending booms and law

reserves in relation to short-term debt have been priced in the expected

manner by international banks. The high level of short-term debt in East Asia

was supported by high growth rates but was characterized by a knife-edge

quality

1.5. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Chapter - 2

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit Risk is simply defined as the risk of non payment due to a loan in time. The

service include payment of interest and other charges & repayment of principal account

by installment or otherwise. If these are not paid as & when due credit risk is involved

because the bank loses not only the cost of funds to carry this for a further purpose but

also the profit that would have been earned on simultaneous investment of this amount.

A default therefore reduces the present value of the loan & consequently the value of the

bank’s business. According to prudential norms, a loan assets becomes a sub-standard

asset where there is a two-quarter on interest & installment payment. A substandard asset

immediately entails provisioning for losses. The bank is not entitled to book profit for

unpaid interest.

The technical capacity for business to service its loan is estimated by its debt coverage

ratio or priority obligation ratio.


2.1. RATING METHODOLOGY :

The Rating Methodology involves an analysis of industry risk, the issuers business

financial & Management risk. A rating is assigned after assessing all the factors that could

affect the credit worthiness of the entity. Typically industry risk assessment sets the

stage for analyzing more specific company risks factor & establishing the priority of

these factors in the overall evaluation. For instance, if the industry is highly competitive,

careful assessment of the issuer’s market position is stressed. If the company has large

capital requirement, the current information provided by the issuers or facts from reliable

sources.

The main elements for rating methodology for banks/Fls are :-

2.1.1 Business Risk

2.1.2 Industry Risk

2.1.3 Financial Risk

2.1.4 Management Risk

2.1.1 Business Risk

This is defined as the inability of the business or project to service its debt in time. This

inability emerge from income generation capacity of the business, which is affected by

the nature of the business or the product it sells, the external economic or market

environment & the internal manufacturing organization & product mix of an enterprise .

if all these variables are in a steady state, the business suffers from no risk. But if any one

of them is not in steady , the business will suffer from volatility.

2.1.2 Industry Risk

It consist of nature & basis competition, key success factors, demand & supply position,

structure of industry, cyclical/seasonal factors, government polices & so on. A lender

should always keep in mind that it is the financially week companies that become

insolvent during the cyclically induced decline of the industry. The incidence of solvency

is also high at the bottom of the boom phase & recovery phase from a recession, because

in the former case, labour cost & interest continue to remain or become high against a fall

in sale & in latter case, & interest continue to remain or become high against a fall in sale


& in latter case, the firms are unable to support a rising demand of their product due to

erosion of capital base during recession. It is important therefore, to capture cyclical trend

in an Industry to evaluate borrowing risk.

Financial Risk

After evaluating the issuer’s competitive position & operating environment, the analyst

proceeds to analyse the financial strength of the issuer. Financial risk is analysed largely

through quantitative means, particularly by using financial ratios. While the past financial

performance of the issuer is important, emphasis is placed on the ability of the issuer to

maintain /improve its future financial performance.

As ratings rely on audited data, the analysis of the audited financial results begins with a

review of accounting quality. The purpose is to determine whether ratios & statistics

derived from financial statements can be used to accurately measure a company’s

performance& its position. Relative to both its peer group & large universe of companies.

Management Risk

A proper assessment of debt protection levels requires an evaluation of the management

philosophies & its strategies. The analyst compares the company’s business strategies &

financial plans to provide insights into a management’s abilities with respect to

forecasting & implementing of plans.

TYPES OF BORROWER

There are several types of borrowers, but I have taken only three types of

borrowers for my study. These are :-

1- Traders

2- Contractor

3- SME

2.2.1- Traders

A trader is a person who buys or sells goods. He did not manufacture goods. He

purchases goods from manufacture & sells to retailers. He can be a person who is dealing

in import or export.


2.2.2- Contractor

A person who undertakes to work on contract basis is a contractor. Ex. A person

undertake a contract to prepare a road on certain time period.

2.2.3. SME

The Term ‘ enterprise’ has been defined under section 2 (e) so as to mean any

industrial undertaking or a business concern or any other establishment, by whatever name

called, engaged in production or manufacture of goods, in any manner pertaining to any

industry specified in the first schedule to the industries (development & regulation) Act,

1951 or engaged in providing of rendering of any service of services’.

For the purpose of the Act, any class or classes of enterprises may be classified as micro,

small or medium enterprises by a notification issued in this behalf.

The Classification of enterprises as micro, small & medium as envisaged under section 7

(1) & notified vide Min. of SSI Notification No. S.O. 1642 (E) Dt. 29-9-2006 is depicted

in the following chart.

CHAPTER -3

WHAT IS LOAN

Lending of funds to the constituents, mainly traders, business & industrial enterprises,

constitutes the main business of the banking company. The major portion of a bank’s

funds is employed by way of loans & advances, which is the most profitable employment

of its funds. The major part bank’s income is earned from interest & discount on the funds

so lent. The business of lending, nevertheless, is not without certain inherent risks. While

lending his funds, a banker, therefore, follow a very cautious policy & conducts his

business on the basis of the well-known principles of sound lending in order to minimize

the risks.

Crop Bank offers a variety of loans to choose from. The various retail loans are given

as ‘Crop Schemes’ highlighting the traditional Crop Bank commitment on giving the

bestin terms of service, speedy disposal and of course at a very competitive interest

rates. Crop Bank offers Housing loans, Educations Loans, Consumer Loans for purchase

of consumer durables like, TV, washing machines, music systems and other electronic

medical and other such sophisticated equipments, loan to acquire office premises/building

& furniture, personal loans, loans to women to buy pure gold/jewellery, loan against

mortgage of property etc.

The Bank’s Benchmark PLR, Known as COBAR (Corporation Bank Benchmark

Advance Rate) stands revised at 13.00% per annum, with effect from 15.03.2008

Interest calculation on credit facilities will be done on the basis of 365 days only,

irrespective of whether the year is leap year or not.

3.2.2 Industrial & commercial lending

Cash Credit

Cash credit is the main method of lending by banks in India & accounts for

about 70%of total bank credit. Under this system, the banker specifies a limit, called

cash credit limit, for each customer, up to which the customer is permitted to borrow

against the security of tangible assets or guarantees. The customer withdraws from his

cash credit account as & when he needs the funds & deposits any amount of money


Which he finds surplus with him on any day. The cash credit account is thus an active &

running account to which deposits & withdrawals may be affected frequently.

DBC/BDD

DBC/BDD stands for discounted bill purchase facility under which the proceeds of

cheques, bank draft & instruments of such nature like, interest warrants, dividend

warrants, refund orders etc., are credited to an account holder without waiting for

realization of the relative instruments.

Forward Contract-purchase & sale

Forward contract is a contract which affords adequate protection to an exporter or an

importer against exchange risk. Under these contracts, a banker & a customer enter into a

agreement to but or sell a fixed amount of foreign currency on a future specified date at a

pre-determined rate of exchange. Exporter for instance sells foreign exchange of specified

amount & currency at a specified future date which assures to but the same amont &

currency at a specified future date which assures to but the same amount & currency at a

predetermined rate which assures him definite availability of foreign exchange.

Import/inland LC cum BG

Letter of commercial credit plays an important role in the trade of the country. In most

cases the exporter are not personally very well aware about the importers In foreign

country. In such cases the exporters bear great risk if they draw bills on the importers,

after dispatching the goods as per their order, because if the importer default in making

the payment, the exporter will suffer heavy loses. To avoid such risk, the exporter ask

the importers to arrange a letter of credit from importer’s bank in favour of the exporter,

informing him that the issuing bank undertakes to accept the bills drawn in respect to

exports made to the foreign buyer specified therein.


Bills of exchange

A bill of exchange is an important instrument widely used in the discharge of business

obligations-both in case of home trade 7 foreign trade. It is generally written by a creditor

on his debtor & is presented to the latter for acceptance, if it is not payable on demand.

After signing his acceptance, the debtor (or the drawee of the bills) is called the acceptor

for payment on the due date. Generally, the accepted bills are discounted by the drawer

with a banker who presents it before the acceptor for payment on the due date. If the

latter fails to make its payment. Bill is treated as dishonored.

CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBP/FDBD

PCL (Packing credit limit) pre shipment means any loan or advance grantedor any other

credit provided by a bank to an exporter for financing the purchase, processing,

manufacturing or packing of goods prior to shipment/ working capital expenses towards

rendering of services on the basis of letter of credit opened in his favour or in favour of

some other person, by an overseas buyer or a confirmed & irrevocable order for the

export of goods/services from India or any other evidence of an order for export from

India having been placed on the exporter or some other person, unless lodgment of export

orders or letter of credit with the bank has been waived.

The PCL granted to an exporter may be liquidated out of proceeds of bills drawn for the

exported commodities on its purchase, discount etc. thereby converting pre-shipment

credit into post shipment credit.

Overdraft

When a current account holder is permitted by the banker to draw more than what stands

to his credit, such an advance is called an over draft. The banker may take some

collateral security or may grant such advances on the personal security of the borrower.

The customer is permitted to withdraw the amount as & when he needs it & to repay it by

means of deposit in his account as & when it is feasible for him. Interest is charged on the

exact amount overdrawn by the customer & for the period of its actual utilization.


Bank Guarantee

According to Indian contract Act, 1872, Guarantee is a “contract to perform the promise or

discharge the liability of a third person in case of his default.”

the person who undertakes the above obligation to discharge the liability of a third person

is called the guarantor or the surety. The person in respect of whose default the guarantee

is given is called the principal debtor & person to whom the guarantee.

Term loan

Tern loan is a credit facility granted for the purpose of acquisition of capital assets, such

as purchase of land, construction of building, purchase of machinery, modernization,

renovation and rationalization of plant, furniture & fixtures which is repayable form the

future earning of the enterprise. Hence repayment is mde in installments,as per a

prearranged schedule normally not exceeding 7 years, except in respect of certain

approved schemes, where it can go beyond 7 years, vix., Crop rental, infrastructure

lending, projects with long gestation, etc.

3.3 PRINCIPLE OF SOUND LENDING

There are certain principles of bank lending that have been followed by banks since long.

These principles are :-

a) Safety

As the bank lends the funds entrusted to it by the depositors, the first & foremost

principle of lending is to ensure the safety of the funds lent. By safety is mean that

borrower is in a position to repay the loan contract. The repayment of loan depends upon

the :-

a) Borrower’s capacity to pay

b) Borrower’s ability to pay


b) Liquidity

Banks are essentially intermediaries for short tern funds. Therefore, they lend funs for

short periods & mainly for working capital purposes. the loans are therefore largely

payable on demand. The banker must ensure that the borrower is able to repay the loan

on demand or within a short period.

Profitability

The banks must employ their funds profitably so as to earn sufficient income out of

which to pay interest to the depositors, salaries to the staff & to meet vaiours their

establishment expenses & distribute dividends to the shareholders. Banks are free charge

their own rate of interest on advances of above Rs. 21 lakhs. A customer with high

reputation is charged the lower rte of interest as compared to an ordinary customer. The

sound principle of lending is not to sacrifice safety or liquidity for the ske of higher

profitability.

The Purpose of the loan

While lending his funds, the banker enquires from the borrower the purpose for which he

seeks loan. Banks do not grant loan for each & every purpose, they ensure the safety &

liquidity of their funds by granting loans for productive purposes only, viz., for meeting

working capital, needs of an enterprise. Loans are not advanced for speculative &

ceremonies or for pleasure tips or for repayment of a prior loan.

The principle of diversifications of Risks

This is also a cardinal principle of sound lending. A prudent banker always tries to

select the borrower very carefully & takes tangible assets as securities to safeguard his

interests. Tangible asset are no doubt valuable yet some risk is involved therein. An

industry or trade may face depressing condition or the natural calamities like floods &

earthquakes, political disturbances in certain part of the country may ruin even a

prosperous business. To safeguard his interest against such unforeseen contingencies. The


banker follow the principle of diversification of risks based on the famous maxim ‘do not

keep all the cggs in one basket’ it means the banker should not grant loans only to big

firms or few industries or in a few cities or regions of the country only. The advance on

the other hand, should be over a reasonably wide area, distributed amongst a good

number of customers belonging to different trades 7 industries.

3.4. HOW REPAYMENT IS DONE ?

a) Cash credit : Repayable on demand

b) DBC/BDD : Repayable is done according to the tenor of the bill.

c) Forward purchase contract :

d) Forward sale contract :

e) Import/ inland LC cum BG :

f) Bills of exchange (BE) : According to the tenor of the bill

g) CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBP/FDBD : Repayment should be made within 90 days

h) Overdraft : Repayable on demand

i) Bank guarantee (BG) :

j) Term Loan : Repayable in installment


CHAPTER -4NPA

4.1. WHAT IS NPAAn asset, including a leased asset, becomes non-performing when it ceases to generate income for the bank. A “non performing asset” (NPA) was defined as a credit facility in respect of which the interest &/or installment of principal has remained ‘past due’ for a specified period of time. The specified period was reduced in a phased manner as under:

Year ending Mar 31 Specified periods1993 four quarters1994 three quarters1995 onwards two quarters

An amount due under any credit facility is treated as ‘past due’ when it has not been paid within 30 days from the due date. Due to the improvements in the payment & settlement systems, recovery climate, up gradation of technology in the banking system, etc., it was decided to dispense with ‘past due’ concept, with effect from mar 31, 2001. Accordingly, as from that date, a NPA shall be an advance where.

a) Interest &/or instalment of principal of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a term loan.

b) The account remains ‘out of order’ for a period of more than 90 days, in respect of an overdraft/cash credit (OD/CC)

c) The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in case of bills purchased & discounted.

d) Interest &/or installment of principal of principal remain overdue for two harvest seasons but for a period not exceeding two half years in the case of an advance granted for agricultural purposes.

4.2. ASSET CLASSIFICATION

Branches are required to classify non performing assets further into the following three

bases on the period for which the asset has remained non performing & the reliability of

the dues.

4.2.1. Sub Standard Assets- Asset Code B

A Sub Standard asset is one, which has remained NPA for a period of less or equal to

12 months in such cases, the current net worth of the borrower/ guarantor or the current

market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues to the

banks in full.


4.2.2. Doubtful Assets- Asset Code C

An asset is to be classified as doubtful, if it remained NPA for a period exceeding 12

months. A loan is classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses internet in assets that were

classified as sub-standard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses makes

collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currency known facts, conditions & value

highly questionable & improbable.

Doubtful assets are further classified into 3 categories as follows:

Code

a) Doubtful unto 1 year : C1

b) Doubtful from 1 to 3 years : C2

c) Doubtful for more than 3 years : C3

4.2.3. Loss Assets – Asset Code D

Loss Asset are considered uncollectible & of such little that their continuance as

bankable assets are not warranted, although there may be some salvage or recovery value.

In such cases loss has been identified by the bank or internal of external auditors or RBI

inspectors abut the amount has not been written off wholly.

4.3. SYMPTOMS OF SICKNESS

(Early Warning Signals of potential NPA Account)

Financial (in bank account)

1. Static outstanding/persistent irregularity in account- outstanding mostly

greater

than drawing power.

2. Defaults in repayments obligations- inability to meet periodic interest/

installments.


3. Lower credit summation in accounts.

4. Development of L/C liabilities/irregular statements, non-moving/slow

moving stock.

5. Frequent request for adhoc limits.

6. Stock statement – Improper/irregular statements, non-moving/slow

7. Raising accommodation bills.

8. Bills/cheques generally dishonored.

9. Sales Transactions not routed via-cash credit A/c.

10. Opening of account with other banks-non compliance of terms &

condition of sanction.

11. Declining Current Ratio, erosion of tangible net worth-operating

losses/net losses.

12. Increase in debt/equity ratio-increase in outstanding borrowing decline in

net profit/sales ration-increase in fixed costs-lack of details age wise

sundry debtors.

At the unit / Factory

Decline in sales turnover, order position delayed, delivery schedule

customer complaints about quality. Low productivity unutilized capacity,

high labour turnover-poor maintenance of machinery, closure of unit.

Loss of Market Credit

Court-cases against unit, inability to raise on usual credit terms.


Operational & Physical

1. Low activity levels in factory & in bank Accounts

2. Disorderly diversification/frequent changes in plans

3. Low inventory movement-Frequent labour troubles

4. Loss of critical important customers-frequent return of finished goods.

Attitudinal Changes

1. Dissension among Partners/promoters

2. Borrowers avoiding contact with bank

3. Non – delayed submission of DATA & financials

Others

1. Adverse changes in Government Policies

2. Emergence of new competition/technology-infrastructural bottle –necks-

non-availability of/irregular supply of critical raw material or other inputs-

chronic power shortage

3. Transport bottlenecks.

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

5.1. Risk is classified into: -

a) Business Risks

b) Financial Risk

c) Industry Risk

d) Management Risk

Total Average Risk


ANALYSIS :

We can analysis that traders are having maximum Industry Risk i.e. 7.12 as compared to

Contractor & SME where it is 6.43 & 6.98 because structure of industry, cyclical factors,

government policies etc. are uncertain & unpredictable, so traders have no control over it

as compared to contractor & SME who have little control. Because of this industry Risk,

Repayment can be affected.

SME are having maximum Business Risk as compared to Trader & Contractor because

SMEs are dealing in small & medium Business, they at the same time, are having Risk

both from other SMEs & large Enterprises dealing in same business. And they are small

they do not have large amount of funds to fulfill there losses, if they fails. This will affect

their repayment capacity. They are also having maximum management Risk because what

most of the traders do, they said they are dealing in export (they have all documents

proving this) while they are dealing in domestic business only. So if trader is lying that

they are in export business while they are not, they might not able to repay the loan.

Contractors are having more Financial Risk because they work on contract basis, they

don’t have huge pool of resources, they buy the resources at the same time they receive

the contract. So if they fail to fulfill the contract on time & the party cancels the contract,

they might be not in a position to repay the loan.

Analysis:

As far as average risk if Trader is concerned, they are having more management &

industry risk i.e. 28% each because of structure of industry, cyclical factors, government

policies etc. which are uncertain & unpredictable, and Trader have least control over it.

Traders are having maximum control on their financial position, that is why they are

having least financial risk. They are also having control over business position which is

greater than management & industry risk by lesser than financial risk.

Analysis:

SMEs are also having maximum industry risk because industry in uncertain, on one has

control over it. After industry, SMEs are having maximum business risk because they are

having competition from both small enterprises & large enterprises. Then comes to

management risk, their percentage is also high. As they are small enterprises, they don’t

have effectively coordinated management. They are also having less financial risk.

Analysis :

As Traders, Contractor is also having maximum management risk & least financial Risk

i.e. 27% & 23%. We can say they are having maximum control on their financial position.

But their industry risk in low as compared to management risk i.e. 26%. Their business

risk is 24%, which means that they are having control on business risk but less than

financial risk & more than industry & management risk.

Analysis:

According to this table, we can analyse that most of the traders & SMEs prefer to take

Cash credit Limit because under this they can draw upto the prescribed limit & repayment

can be made whenever interest is also determined on the basis of running balance.


However in SMEs, borrowers also prefer to take term loan to finance their fixed Asset. In

Contractor, most of them prefer to take overdraft facility because by this they want to

exceed the limit of their loan. Traders also prefer to take Import LC so they can easily

import something.

Analysis:

We cam analysis that while the number of borrowers on trading category who took

import/inland LC cum BG are lesser than cash credit, the amount are more than cash

credit. So we can say that while the people are not frequently opt for import inland LC

cum BG, but if they opt, they opt for larger amount.

In SMEs, 61.62 crores are land to 12 borrowers while only 45.4 crores of forward

purchase contract, 22.65 of CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBD/FDBP is lended & term loan accounts

for only 50 lakhs. Because as SMEs are not dealing in very high scale they don’t have big

amount of Fixed Assets like Plant & machinery, Furniture & Fixture So they largely go for

cash credit to perform their day to day operation smoothly.

In Contractors, the overdraft facility is taken big quantity i.e 4.6 crores as compared to

others.

Analysis:

Both Trader & SMEs opt for Cash credit for same purpose i.e. for working capital &

receivable finance. SMEs also opt for inventory finance. Contractors did not opt for Cash

credit. All three types of borrowers took DBC/BDD for receivables finance. Only SMEs

opt for forward purchase & sale contract. Import/inland LC cum BG is taken by both

Trader & SMEs. Bills of exchange & CC-PCL-FDBN/FBBP/FDBD are taken only by

SMEs. Crop Mob is taken by Trader & SMEs for purchase of new car only. No overdraft

facility is taken by SMEs; it is taken by Trader & contractor for Working Capital Needs.

Bank Guarantee is taken by all three borrowers. Term Loan is also taken by all three

borrowers, but it is taken by SME in large quantity.


CHAPTER-5

CONCLUSION

Traders

Traders are the one involved in selling and purchasing of goods and services. For this, they

need cash; so that they can purchase goods otherwise their business will collapse. So they take

loan to continue their business effectively & efficiently.

Traders normally do not want long term finance because they are into purchasing & selling, they

don’t want fixed Asset like Plant & Machinery, Furniture & fixture, Land & building etc. The

whole purpose is to act as a mediator between manufacturer & ultimate consumer. For this they

need short term finance to meet their working capital needs & to run their business efficiently.

Traders generally take three types of loan-

1. Cash Credit

2. Inland/Import LC

3. Overdraft

4. BG

1. Cash Credit

Traders need cash credit to meet their Working Capital needs & Receivable needs.

2. Inland/Import LC

Sometimes the exporter or other party are not very well personally aware about the Trader. In

such cases the exporters bear great risk if they draw bills on the importers, after dispatching the

goods as per their order, because if the importer default in making the payment, the exporter will

suffer heavy loses. To avoid such risk, the exporter ask the importers to arrange a letter of credit

from importer’s bank in favour of the exporter, informing him that the issuing bank undertakes to

accept the bills drawn. So Traders ask for this facility.


3. Bank Guarantee

Trader want cash to purchase goods or services. If Trader is new in the market, manufacturers

will not agree to lend him the goods on credit. They ask either for cash or the manufacturer, that

bank will make payment, if traders fail to pay.

4. Overdraft

If Trader is having Current Account with bank, they can also asked for overdraft facility

instead of taking new loan. In this bank exceeds the limit of the account & borrower can withdraw

unto that limit.

Contractors

Contractors are the one who works on contract basis. Their contract period can be of 1

month, 2 month, 1 year, 5 year or more depend upon the need of the part giving contract. They

want long term finance once in their long course of business. They only want short term finance.

For this take-

a) Overdraft

b) Bank Guarantee

SME

SME stands for small & medium enterprises. A small enterprise is an enterprise where the

investment in plant & machinery in more than Rs. 25 Lakhs but less than Rs. 5 crores. A medium

Enterprise is an enterprise where investment in plant & machinery is more than 5 crore but less

than Rs. 10 crore. SME is one of the priorities for the bank. Banks deal differently with SMEs.

They even charged lower rate of interest from SMEs.

SMEs from almost 95% of all industrial units in the country. They need loan for both long &

short term purposes.


a) Long Term Finance

SMEs needs long term finance to establish their business. For this they take Term Loan.

SMEs need term loan for the purpose of acquisition of capital assets, such as purchase of land,

construction of building, purchase of machinery, modernzation, renovation and rationalization of

plant, furniture & fixtures. This loan will be repaid by the future earning of the firm.

b) Short Term Finance

Apart from loan term finance, SMEs also need funds for short term purpose to continue their

business effectively & efficiently. For this they mainly take Cash Credit. They want Cash credit to

meet their working Capital finance, inventory finance & Receivable Finance.

Apart from Cash Credit, SMEs also take-

i) CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBP/FDBD

ii) DBC/BDD

iii) Forward Purchase Contract

iv) Forward Sale Contract

v) Import/Inland LC

vi) Bank Guarantee

e) Any amount to be received remains overdue for of more than 30 days in respect of other

accounts.

Where any one or more of the stipulated irregularities persist for 90 days then the 91st day is to be

considered as the date of NPA.

PART-II


BACK-END OPERATION

1.1. PAYMENT SYSTEM : Cheque truncation System (CTS)

Key point :

Payment systems need to become more efficient and Cheque truncation is a step

in this direction.

Cheque truncation is the next logical step in Payments system after MICR, ECS,

EFT & RTGS. This would put India on the global map.

Reasons for Cheque truncation

o Banking becoming more complex & transaction intensive

o Growing share of retail banking

Cheque truncation will reduce costs for the country as a whole and also reduce

liquidity risks

Amendments have been made to the IT Act, Negotiable instrument Act and

other legislations to enable implementation of Cheque truncation

Customers will be the biggest beneficiaries of cheque truncation because of

reduction in time for clearing

Bank Floats would disappear.

Data and information collected through the Cheque Truncation system will be

used for reducing frauds.


Image based cheque clearing system or Cheque Truncation System (CTS) is a project

undertaken by central banks of many countries such as India (Reserve Bank of India-RBI),

UAE (Central bank), Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia Monitoring Agency-SAMA) ect. For

faster clearing of cheques.

CTS promises to bring multiple benefits to customers by substantially reducing the time

taken to clear the cheques as well as to the banks by enabling them to offer better

customer services and increasing operational efficiency by cutting down on overheads in

physical clearing. In addition, CTS also offers better reconciliation and fraud prevention

CTS uses cheque image, instead of the physical cheque itself, for clearing of the cheque

The cheque image is truncated at the presenting bank. Subsequently, the cheque image

moves through various steps in the cheque-clearing cycle and transactions are settled on

the basis of images and electronic data.

The solution suite consists of following components.

2.1. C.L.PU : Central Loan Processing Unit

It Consists of :

Mortgages

Loans

Personal

1.1 MORTGAGES :

MORTGAGES IS CLASIFIED AS UNDER :

Normal home loan

Home saver

Loan against property

Residential

Commercial

Fixed V/s Variable

Mortgage product offers two interest rate options to the customer-Fixed and Variable.

Fixed Interest Rate Loans implies that the interest rate advised to the customer at the time

of initial loan draw down will not change for the entire tenor of the loan. Variable interest

Rate loans implies that the interest rate is variable and subject to change during the tenor

of the loan.

For variable interest rate loans, the interest rates will be reviewed and changed once

every 6 months based on the interest rates advised by Finance each month.

Customer, however, has the option to change from a Fixed Interest rate to variable

interest and vice versa during the tenor of the loan.

Processing Fees

In Mortgage product, the loan processing fees is collected in two stages. Loan Processing

Fee at the time of sanction or administrative fee is collected at the time of sourcing the

mortgage application from the customer for an in-principal sanction of the loan. This fee

is normally 0.5% of the total processing fee payable by the customer and is non-

refundable.


Loan Processing Fee at the time of disbursement is collected at the time of the full./initial

disbursement. This fee is to the extent of the remaining 1.5% of the total processing fee

payable by the customer.

Disbursement Types :

Essentially, mortgage disbursements are of two types- Partial

Disbursement an full Disbursement. They are further broken down into

five types as detailed in the table given below :

Disbursement Types

Sub-Types of Loan Disbursement

Brief Description

Partial Initial Disbursement (Interest Only Loans)

The First disbursement which is released on booking of the loan Applicable to loans where property is incomplete and construction renovation is under progress .

Subsequent Disbursement (Interest Only Loans)

Subsequent disbursal of loan (for the above) as per the progress construction/renovation and/or as per a disbursement schedule.

Final Disbursement

(EMI Loan)

The disbursement of remaining loan on completion of construction renovation of the property .

Disbursement Types

Sub-Types of Loan Disbursement

Brief Description

Full Up-front/one Time Disbursement (EMI Loan)

The entire loan approved is disbursed for property which complete, purchase of land, Balance take-overs from ot financial institution/Banks. EMI commences immediately.

Mixed Disbursement (Interest Only for the construction loan EMI loan for the property )

Loans which include purchase of property and construction renovation/extension thereon. Such loans are split into Property Loan and Construction/Renovation/Extens Loan.


MORTGAGE OPERATING MODEL

The operating model of mortgage product in SCB is aligned to a centralized service

delivery model in line with other asset products of the Bank.
