CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction about the sector:-

BANKING

Banking, the business of providing financial services to consumers and

business. The basic services a bank provides are checking accounts, savings

accounts and time deposits that can be used to save money for future use;

loans that consumers and businesses can use to purchase goods and services;

and basic cash management services such as check cashing and foreign

currency exchange.

TYPES

Four types of banks specialize in offering these basic banking services:

1) Commercial banks,

2) Savings and loan associations,

3) Savings banks, and

4) Credit unions.

A broader definition of a bank is any financial institution that receives, collects,

Transfers, pays, exchanges, lends, invests, or safeguards money for its

customers. This broader definition includes many other financial institutions that

are not usually thought of as banks. These institutions include finance

companies, investment companies, investment banks, insurance companies,

pension funds, security brokers and dealers, mortgage companies, and real

estate investment trusts.

1

PURPOSE

Banking services serve two primary purposes.

First, by supplying customers with the basic mediums-of-exchange (cash,

checking accounts, and credit cards),

Second, by accepting money deposits from savers and then lending the money

to borrowers, banks encourage the flow of money to productive use and

investments. This in turn allows the economy to grow. Enabling the flow of

money from savers to investors is called financial intermediation, and it is

extremely important to a free market economy.

1.2 Industry Profile:-

a. Origin and Development of industry:-

Banking in India

Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The General

Bank of India came into existence in 1786. This was followed by Bank of

Hindustan. Both these banks are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in

India is the State Bank of India being established as "The Bank of Bengal" in

Calcutta in June 1806. A couple of decades later, foreign banks like Credit

Lyonnais started their Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time,

Calcutta was the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British

Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and prospered. The

first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, which was established in

1865. By the 1900s, the market expanded with the establishment of banks such

as Punjab National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of India, in 1906, in

Mumbai - both of which were founded under private ownership. The Reserve

2

Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating

the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's independence in 1947, the

Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. The banking in

India was controlled and dominated by the presidency banks, namely, the Bank

of Bombay, the Bank of Bengal, and the Bank of Madras - which later on

merged to form the Imperial Bank of India, and Imperial Bank of India, upon

India's independence, was renamed the State Bank of India. The presidency

banks were like the central banks and discharged most of the functions of

central banks. They were established under charters from the British East India

Company. The exchange banks, mostly owned by the Europeans, concentrated

on financing of foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally under

capitalized and lacked the experience and maturity to compete with the

presidency banks, and the exchange banks. There was potential for many new

banks as the economy was growing. Under these circumstances, many Indians

came forward to set up banks, and many banks were set up at that time, and a

number of them set up around that time continued to survive and prosper even

now like Bank of India and Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, and

Canara Bank.

b. Growth and Present Status of the Industry:-

By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to

facilitate the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it has

emerged as a large employer, and a debate has ensued about the possibility to

nationalize the banking industry. Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India

expressed the intention of the GOI in the annual conference of the All India

Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank Nationalisation."

The paper was received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move was

swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalised the 14

largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969.

Jayaprakash Narayan, a national leader of India, described the step as a

"masterstroke of political sagacity." Within two weeks of the issue of the

ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies (Acquition and

Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it received the presidential approval on 9th

August, 1969. A second dose of nationalisation of 6 more commercial banks

followed in 1980. The stated reason for the nationalisation was to give the

government more control of credit delivery. With the second dose of

nationalisation, the GOI controlled around 91% of the banking business of

India. After this, until the 1990s, the nationalised banks grew at a pace of

around 4%, closer to the average growth rate of the Indian economy.

4

c. Future of the Industry:-

A healthy banking system is essential for any economy striving to achieve good

growth and yet remain stable in an increasingly global business environment.

The Indian banking system, with one of the largest banking networks in the

world, has witnessed a series of reforms over the past few years like the

deregulation of interest rates, dilution of the government stake in public sector

banks (PSBs), and the increased participation of private sector banks. The

growth of the retail financial services sector has been a key development on the

market front. Indian banks (both public and private) have not only been keen to

tap the domestic market but also to compete in the global market place. New

foreign banks have been equally keen to gain a foothold in the Indian market.

The momentum in credit growth has been maintained during 2005-06 due to

two factors: The corporate sector has stepped up its demand for credit to fund

its expansion plans; there has also been a growth in retail banking. However,

even as the opportunities increase, there are some issues and challenges that

Indian banks will have to contend with if they are to emerge successful in the

medium to long term. This report discusses these issues and challenges -- both

intrinsic and external, such as

Consolidation

Consolidation, which has been on the counter over the last year or so, is likely

to gather momentum in the coming years. Post April 2009, when the restrictions

on operations of foreign banks will go, the banking landscape is expected to

change dramatically. Foreign banks, which currently account for 5% of total

deposits and 8% of total advances, are devising new business models to

5

capture the Indian market. Their full-fledged entry is expected to transform the

business of banking in many ways, which would be reflected in terms of greater

breadth of products, depth in delivery channels and efficiency in operations.

Thus Indian banks have less than three years to consolidate their position.

Despite the stiff resistance from certain segments, consolidation holds the key

to future growth. This view is underpinned by the following:

► Owing to greater scale and size, consolidation can help save costs and

improve operational efficiency.

► Banks will also have to explore different avenues for raising capital to meet

norms under Basel-II

► Owing to the diversified operations and credit profiles of merging banks,

consolidation is likely to serve as a risk-mitigation exercise as much as a growth

engine.

Though there is no confirmation yet, speculative signals arising from the market

point to the prospect of consolidation involving banks such as Union Bank of

India, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Dena Bank, State Bank of Patiala, and

Punjab and Sind Bank. Further, the case for merger between stronger banks

has also gained ground — a clear deviation from the past when only weak

banks were thrust on stronger banks. There is a case being made for mergers

between banks with a distinct geographical presence coming together to

leverage their respective strengths.

CHAPTER-2 PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION

2.2 Growth and Development of the Organization:-

To evolve and position the bank as a world class, progressive, cost-effective

and customer friendly institution providing comprehensive financial and related

services: integrating frontiers of technology and serving various segment of

society especially the weaker section of the society: committed to excellence in

serving the public and also excelling in the corporate values. Corporate

excellence emanate from good corporate governance exercised by adopting

responsiveness, and ethical business practices with this in view, the has been

corporate governance is to bestow greater transparency and openness in the

management and to ensure best performance by staff at all the levels to

maximize the operational efficiency. Adopting the corporate governance as a

work ethos, the bank is committed to enhancing the stakeholders value.

2.3 Present Status of Organization:-

Dena bank might just be another case of bank in trouble. Going by the recent

observations of the accounting department of the bank itself, the bank’s capital

adequacy ratio (CAR) and profitability in serious doubts.

An analysis of the financial position of the bank for the year 2002-03, by the

accounts department of dena bank, copy of which is in the possession of Indian

Express, showed that the bank’s CAR stood at 9.33% would go down as low as

6.02% as per the latest RBI guidelines. In simple terms, a low CAR implies that

the bank would be trouble there is a run on it since it has overexposed itself.

9

Further, miscellaneous income, which also accounted for the

increase in profits, went up by Rs. 32.92 crore to Rs. 86.06 crore for the year

2002-03. However, the review showed that Rs. 19.50 crore of the

miscellaneous income was due to

transfer of old credits over five years lying with the bank in suspense receipts/

unclaimed credits.

Another element of doubts in the results is the fact that the bank had reversed

an amount of Rs. 18.40 crore to the balance sheet as disputed tax liability. This

was based on the expert opinions received by bank on tax consultants and also

on a high court decision in the case of American Express Bank. The above

three aspects are taken together accounted for Rs. 83.40 crore of profit.

CHAPTER-3 DISCUSSIONS ON TRAINING

3.1 Student’s Work Profile:- The summer training was held in the Regional

office of Dena Bank. The work profile at the office was based on the loans and

advances given to small and median enterprises (SME). Hence the whole work

was based on the Pre-sanction formalities of credit given to a particular

enterprise. The responsibilities handled at the office were started from reading

the company’s project file (sent by the company to whom the loan is to be

sanctioned) and continued till the loan is sanctioned by the responsible

authority according to the limit to be sanctioned. The loan is sanctioned by

keeping in mind the various instructions and conditions.

General Instructions on Loans and Advances:-

Efficient management of loans and advances portfolio has assumed

greater significance as it is the largest asset of the bank having direct

impact on its profitability. In the wake of the continued tightening of

norms of income recognition, asset classification and provisioning,

increased competition and emergence of new types of risks in the

financial sector, it has become imperative that the credit functions are

strengthened. RBI has also been emphasizing banks to evolve suitable

guidelines for effective management and control of risk credits.

With a view to ensure a healthy loan portfolio, our bank has taken

various steps to bring its policies and procedures in line with the

changing scenario which also aim at effective management & dispersal

of credit risks, strengthening of pre-sanction appraisals and post-

25

sanction monitoring systems. Further, bank has been continuously

endeavoring to strengthen the organizational set up by opening Specialized

Branches to meet the credit requirements of specific types of borrowers,

imparting intensive credit management training to staff and deployment of

the trained staff at branches/offices having potential for credit growth. Bank

has laid down detailed guidelines to be followed while considering credit

proposals, some of the important ones are listed as under:

1. All loan facilities be considered after obtaining loan applications from the

borrower and compilation of Confidential Report on him and guarantors.

The borrowers should have the desired background, experience to run

their business successfully.

2. Project for which the finance has been granted should be technically

feasible and economically viable i.e. it should be able to generate

enough surplus as to service the debts within a reasonable period of

time.

3. Cost of the project and means of financing the same should be properly

assessed and tied up. Both under-financing and over-financing can have

an adverse impact on the successful implementation of the project.

4. Borrowers should be financially sound, enjoy good market reputation and

must have their stake in the business i.e. they should possess adequate

liquid resources to contribute to the margin requirement.

5. Loan should be sanctioned by the competent sanctioning authority as

per the delegating loaning powers and should be disbursed only after

execution of all the required documents.

26

6. Projects financed must be closely monitored during implementation

stage to avoid time and cost overruns and thereafter till the adjustments

of the bank’s loan.

Bank extends loan facilities by way of fund based facilities and/or non

fund based facilities. The fund based facilities are usually allowed by way

of term loans, cash credit, bills discounted/purchased, demand loans,

overdrafts etc. Further, the bank also provides non fund facilities by way

of issuance of guarantees, deferred payment guarantees, bills

acceptance facility under various schemes.

The foregoing list contains the usual types of facilities undertaken by the

bank. In case loan application is received for any particular facility which

is not specifically mentioned above, the same should be forward to

controlling offices for considerations, provided the same can be

transacted within the overall policy of the bank.

The usual types of facilities sanctioned by the bank to the borrowers, as

also other aspects like Project appraisal, Post-sanction follow up,

Management of NPAs, Documentation, and Limitation etc. are discussed

later. These are the briefly explanations hereunder:

TERM LOANS:- Term loans are sanctioned for acquisition of

fixed assets like land, building, plant, machinery, office equipments,

furniture/fixture etc. for purchase of transport vehicles and other vehicles,

for purchase of agriculture equipments, machinery and other movable

27

assets, under various schemes of agriculture advances

introduced from time to time for purchase of house, consumer durables,

under special schemes. The term loan would be a loan, which is not a

demand loan and is repayable in terms i.e. in installments irrespective of

period or security cover.

Term loans are normally granted for periods varying from 3-7 years and

in the exceptional cases beyond 7 years. Term loans for infrastructure

projects can be allowed even with a longer repayment period.

CASH CREDIT ADVANCES:- Cash credit account is a drawing

account against credit granted by the bank and is operated in exactly the

same way as a current account on which an overdraft has been

sanctioned. The various types of securities against which the cash

credits are allowed are pledge/hypothecation of goods or produce,

pledge of documents of title to goods, mortgage of immovable property,

book debts, trust securities etc. in cash credit accounts the borrower is

allowed to draw on account within the prescribed limit, as and when

required.

PACKING CREDIT:- Packing credit is an advance given to an

exporter who holds a code number assigned to him by the Directorate

General Of Foreign Trade (DGFT), for financing the purchase,

processing, manufacturing or packing of goods prior to shipment, on the

basis of letter of credit opened in his favor on in favor of some other

person by an overseas buyer or a confirmed order for the export of

28

goods from India or any other evidence of an order for

export from India having been placed on the exporter or some other

persons, unless lodgment of export orders or letter of credit with the bank

has been waived.

LETTER OF CREDIT:- Letter of credit is issued by the bank at

the request of its customers on favour of a third party informing him that

the Bank undertakes to accept the bills drawn on its customers upto the

amount stated in the LC, subjected to the fulfillment of the conditions

stipulated therein. Therefore, when bank issues LC, it assumes

responsibility to pay its beneficiary on production of bills drawn in

accordance with terms and conditions of LC.

GUARANTEES:- Guarantees is a contract to perform the

promise or discharge the liability of third person in case of his default. In

the ordinary course of business, banks often issues guarantees on

behalf of its customers in favour of third parties. When bank issues such

a guarantee, it assumes a responsibility to pay the beneficiary, in the

event of a default made by the customers.

NON PERFORMING ASSETS (NPAs):- NPAs act as drag on

bank’s profitability and need urgent attention at all levels. The action

points and strategies for reducing NPAs has to be two pronged (i)

recovery/ reduction in existing NPA accounts and (ii) checking slippage

of fresh accounts from performing (Standards) to NPA category. The

29

action points may vary depending upon the area, nature of activity and

intention of borrower etc.

3.2 Description of Live Experiences:-

Training in Credit Department (SME) of the bank is very much informative. I felt

glad when first time I got a company’s project file. My senior handover it to me

to read it carefully and analyze it. After reading the file, I started completing the

Pre-sanctioned formalities of making a credit proposal for that company. The

proposal was to be made on the bank’s specific format. I handled my

responsibilities carefully and made the proposal as my knowledge and

perceptions according to the project file. I transferred the data to my senior. He

read the proposal and made necessary corrections in it. Then he again gave

me the proposal to come to know about the mistakes. I analyzed the proposal

made by my senior sincerely and wrote down the doubts in a diary. I learnt a lot

from this first experience. After this I got about 5-6 proposals in my whole

training and learning period and completed the training with a great expertise

and knowledge.

CHAPTER-4 STUDY OF SELECTED RESEACH PROBLEMS

4.1 Statement of Research Problem:-

DENA Bank is powering its way through a market that is still to unleash its true

potential, as barely two percent of the population has been penetrated so far!

It is not surprising that the bank is not in the mood to take its hands off the

throttle. At Dena Bank, our goal is to satisfy the customers in every way

whatever a customer wants. The goal is to help the customers in every step of

the way in making their world a better place to live in. Besides its will is to

provide a high quality service to all of its customers, Dena Bank takes a stand

as a socially responsible enterprise respectful to its environment and respectful

of the important issues. Dena bank has been strongly committed not only to

environmental conservation programmes but also expresses the increasingly

inseparable balance between the economic concerns and the environmental

and social issues faced by a business. A bank must not grow at the expense of

mankind and man's future but rather must serve mankind.

4.2 Statement of Research Objectives:-

The project was done with the objective to study effective management of

Loans and Advances. As the Loans and Advances portfolio is the largest asset

of the bank having direct impact on its profitability. With a view to ensure a

healthy loan portfolio, my study is concerned to ensure various steps to bring

the policies and procedures in line with changing scenario which also aim at

31

effective management and dispersal of credit risks, strengthening of pre-

sanction appraisals and post sanction monitoring system.

The objective is to study the various types of facilities appraised by the bank to

the borrower such as Term Loan, Cash Credit Limit, Packing Credit Limit, Bank

Guarantee etc. After this the objective is to learn about the whole procedure

adopted by the bank to sanction a loan, such as Documentation, Credit Risk

Management, CIBIL Report, Mortgages- Immovable properties, Pricing of Credit

(Interest Rates) and Credit Rating System etc.

4.3 Research Design and Methodology:-

The research process or methodology is the approach to the entire study – it is

the master plan. It is the blueprint for achieving your objectives, one of which is

the production of the dissertation.

The Process

1. Formulating a research problem

2. Conceptualizing a research design

3. Constructing an instrument for data collection

4. Selecting a sample

5. Writing a research proposal

6. Collecting the data

7. Processing the data

8. Writing a research report.

32

This is the simple way to perform the functions of research design and

methodology. But in the premises of the bank, no such research has been

taken place. The whole research has been done on the credit appraisal

procedures on the bank’s specific format.

Comments on financial performance:

Sales :

The existing Fund Based limit of Rs 400.00 and Non-Fund Based Limit of Rs 250.00 lacs was earlier assessed on an estimated Sales Turnover of Rs 2850.00 during FY

2007-08 against which the actual achievement is Rs 2947.04 lacs i.e. achievement index of 103.40%. Sales registered 15.52% during FY 2007-08 over the previous financial year, while the growth registered during FY 2008-09 is 13.60%.

The borrower has now estimated and projected a sales turnover of Rs 2900.00 lacs and Rs 3200.00 lacs during FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11 respectively.

The borrower has attributed lower raw material as consequently lower finished good prices as the main reason for lower sales projections during FY 2009-10. The global financial crisis leading to depressed market conditions also partly contributed to the lower sales projections.

42

During the first half of the current financial year i.e. Sept’09, the borrower has achieved a sales turnover of Rs 1075.00 lacs. The same translates into annualized turnover of Rs 2150.00 lacs i.e. 74.14% vis-à-vis target. However, based on orders on hand and improving market sentiments, the borrower is optimistic of achieving the estimated/projected sales turnover. In fact, the borrower has a track record of surpassing the projections.

In view of the above, the estimated and projected sales turnover is considered realistic and achievable and is hence accepted by us.

Capital/Net Worth :

The Capital/Net Worth of the borrower stood at Rs 343.15 lacs as of 31.03.09 and shows increasing trend over the years due to induction of capital/plough-back of profits in business.

Unsecured Loans :

As per existing terms of sanction, Unsecured Loans were stipulated to be maintained at the level of Rs 51.00 lacs against which the level of Unsecured Loans stood at Rs 87.75 lacs as of 31.03.09. The same is estimated and projected to be maintained at the level of Rs 80.00 lacs during FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11.

Branch should obtain and keep on record an undertaking from the borrower to the effect that level of unsecured loans would be maintained at least at the level of Rs 80.00 lacs during the currency of bank finance and would not be withdrawn without the express consent of the Bank. The Unsecured Loans would also remain subordinated to Bank Finance.

Profitability :

Gross Profit and Net Profit Margin registered increase to 3.49% and 3.04% respectively.during the FY 2008-09 over the previous financial year.

Gist of Financial indicator of the Firm as of 30-09-2009 is as under-

The existing Fund Based limit of Rs 400.00 and Non-Fund Based Limit of Rs 250.00 lacs was earlier assessed on an estimated Sales Turnover of Rs 2850.00 during FY 2007-08 against which the actual achievement is Rs 2947.04 lacs i.e. achievement index of 103.40%. Sales registered 15.52% during FY 2007-08 over the previous financial year, while the growth registered during FY 2008-09 is 13.60%.

3. Creditors 1.33 284.00

The holding levels as above are in tune with the actual holding levels of FY 2008-09 and are considered need-based and reasonable. Hence, the same is accepted by us.

Based on the accepted levels of inventory and receivables as above, the Drawing Power is calculated as under :

The borrower has requested for renewal of the existing CCH limit of Rs 250.00 lacs and the same has been recommended by the Branch. As per assessment of limits under Modified MPBF Method, the permissible limit of Rs 250.00 lacs. The requisite D.P. is also available, as per the aforesaid table.

In view of the above, we recommend for renewal of the existing CCH (Stocks-cum-Book Debts) limit of Rs 250.00 lacs.

Renewal of Negotiation of Bills under L/C Limit :

The borrower is presently enjoying Bills Negotiation (under L/C) limit of Rs 150.00 lacs, outside the overall MPBF, which it has requested for continuation. Branch has informed that no Bills have being negotiated under the aforesaid limit during FY 2008-09.

However, looking to contingent requirement and based on the borrower’s request, Branch has recommended for renewal of the Bills Negotiation under L/C limit of Rs 150.00 lacs. We endorse the Branch recommendation.

4.5 Summery of Findings:-

From the above analysis, it is found how a credit limit has been appraised to a

borrower. Starting from the loan application from the borrower till the

disbursement of the loan and after it the close monitoring till the adjustment of

the bank’s loan.

The procedure which is to be followed to sanction a loan in an SME department

is somewhat lengthy process, but it is the best method to sanction a loan as it

goes as a parallel to the safe side of the bank as in case of the borrower’s

default or inability to repay the loan.

55

CHAPTER-5 SUMMERY AND CONCLUSIONS

5.1 Summery of Learning Experience:-

The summery just states that it was a great experience to join a Nationalized

Bank for training and learning things. I learnt a lot in the Credit Department

(SME) of Dena Bank. Here I worked on many appraisals, which are beyond the

scope of this project. The new day in the premises of the bank was started with

a new project report in the hands. After reading carefully the whole project

report, I had to make proposals on a format of crediting appraisal of the bank.

Various proposals were look after by me. After making the proposals, I handed

over all the work done to my senior. He used to make necessary corrections in

the work done and hence it was an opportunity for me to learn more and more.

Even for more learning, my senior gave me an opportunity to attend a “Credit

Committee-Meeting” held by other persons of the bank to clear the doubts

about a particular proposal.

56

Hence the whole experience of working in such a place was

amazing. I leant here to a great extant about the whole procedures to sanction

a limit to the different different borrowers.

5.2 Conclusions and Recommendations:-

Conclusions:-

The project gives the detailed knowledge of the whole process of sanction a

limit which Dena Bank performs.

Starting from the loan application from the borrower and compilation of

Confidential Reports on him and the guarantor, the process continues till the

disbursement of loan and after it the close monitoring till the adjustments of

Bank’s Loan.

The project was an attempt to understand and perform the work in the credit

transaction and the credit appraisal which I had included in this project is just an

example of it.

I had worked on many such appraisals, which are beyond the scope of this

project. Hence the whole experience of working in such a Nationalized Bank

was amazing. I found lots of things to learn and understand here. Hence to

57

conclude, I just state that it was a great job done in a

Nationalized Bank with the experienced employees.

Recommendations:-

The bank is well doing in its field and having good reputation in Domestic as

well as International Market. There are some of the recommendations that I

would like to suggest to the Bank: These are:

The head office, regional office and the branches should work on EDI

(Electronic Data Interchange), since transaction of letters between these

offices is still manual which lead to repetition of work as well as wastage

of time.

Dena Bank is too conservative in its dealing and hence people are

attracted towards private sector banks. Thus an Aggressive Marketing is

recommended to the Bank.

Dena bank should also appoint Customer Relation Officer so as to solve

various problems of customers which will help in retaining the customers.

58

There is also lack in the initiation of officers. The officers

should take initiative to work with new changes.

APPENDIX

A) Credit Rating:-

Definition of Credit Risk:- Credit Risk is the risk of default by borrower due to

inability or unwillingness to repay his debts in accordance with the agreed terms

and conditions.

Need for Credit Risk Management:-

The liberalization of the Indian Economy has brought about sweeping

changes in the economic environment. Changes in the economic

environment have induced new anticipated and unforeseen risks in

lending. The assessment of these risks is essential to facilitate prudent

credit decisions.

The terms and conditions of loans and advances sanctioned to

borrowers determine the profit that accrues to the bank from that loan. If

59

the terms are decided without proper assessment of the

credit risk, the bank might be charging low interest rates from poor

quality customers thereby sustaining losses due to default and charging

high rates from good quality customers thereby driving them away to

other banks.

Credit Risk Rating:- Credit risk rating is a rating assigned to borrowers,

based on an analysis of their ability and willingness to repay the debt taken

from the bank. This rating is assigned on a scale, which generally have 6-8

levels. Companies falling in the same credit risk category have similar

probability of default. Better the rating, lower is the probability of default. The

probability of default increases in an exponential manner as the credit risk

rating deteriorates.

Uses of Credit Risk Rating:-

Whether to lend to a borrower or not:- The credit risk rating of a

borrower determines the appetite of the bank in determining exposure

level. A bank would be willing to lend to highly rated borrowers but

would not like to exposure to borrowers with very poor credit rating.

Pricing:- The risk premium to be charged to a borrower should be

determined by its credit risk rating. Borrowers with poor credit rating

should be priced high and vice-versa.

Risk Mitigates:- The extent of collateral security required and need

to step up margin requirement are linked to credit risk rating of a

60

borrower. The higher the risk category, the greater

should be the value of collateral and margins.

Assessment of Credit Risk Rating:-

Credit risk rating tools involve analysis of a company on various

parameters such as financials, industry characteristics, business

performance, management quality etc. different scales can be used and

the above parameters can be combined with the appropriate weightages

to arrive at a final score. The credibility of credit risk rating to a large

extent depends on the skills of the persons using the rating tools and his

integrity in using the model equitable for all concerns.

B) Summery Definitions of Ratios:-

1. Current Ratio:-

advances+ advance payment of tax+ pre-paid expenses+ other current assets.

Current Liabilities= short term bank borrowings+ commercial paper+ loan from

charges+ advance against work in progress+ other current liabilities.

2. Debt Equity Ratio:-

Debt Equity

61

Debt= total borrowings+ preference capital- short term bank

borrowing- commercial paper- loans from corporate bodies.

Equity= Tangible net worth.

3. Interest Coverage Ratio:-

EBIDT Total Interest

EBIDT (Earning before interest, depreciation and tax) = profit before depreciation, interest and tax+ extra ordinary expenses- extra ordinary income.
