ABSTRACT: Credit Appraisal means an investigation/assessment done by the banks before providing

any Loans & advances/project finance & also checks the commercial, financial & technical viability of

the project proposed, its funding pattern & further checks the primary & collateral security cover

available for recovery of such funds. Credit Appraisal is a process to ascertain the risks associated with

the extension of the credit facility. It is generally carried by the financial institutions, which are involved

in providing financial funding to its customers. Credit risk is a risk related to non-repayment of the

credit obtained by the customer of a bank. Thus it is necessary to appraise the credibility of the

customer in order to mitigate the credit risk. Proper evaluation of the customer is performed this

measures the financial condition and the ability of the customer to repay back the Loan in future.

Generally the credits facilities are extended against the security know as collateral. But even though

the Loans are backed by the collateral, banks are normally interested in the actual Loan amount to be

repaid along with the interest. Thus, the customer's cash flows are ascertained to ensure the timely

payment of principal and the interest.

INTRODUCTION: Credit appraisal means an investigation/assessment done by the bank prior before

providing any loans & advances/project finance & also checks the commercial, financial & technical

viability of the project proposed its funding pattern & further checks the primary & collateral security

cover available for recovery of such funds.

The assessment of the various risks that can impact on the repayment of loan is credit appraisal.

In short, you are determining "Will I get my money back?” Depending on the purpose of loan and the

quantum, the appraisal process may be simple or elaborate. For small personal loans, credit scoring

based on income, life style and existing liabilities may suffice. But for project financing, the process

comprises technical, commercial, marketing, financial, managerial appraisals as also implementation

schedule and ability.

Credit Appraisal means an investigation/assessment done by the banks before providing any

Loans & advances/project finance & also checks the commercial, financial & technical viability of the

project proposed, its funding pattern & further checks the primary & collateral security cover available

for recovery of such funds.

The last year financial crises have become the main cause for recession which was started in

2006 from US and was spread across the world. The world economy has been majorly affected from

the crisis. The securities in stock exchange have fallen down drastically which has become the root

cause of bankruptcy of many financial institutions and individuals. The root cause of the economic and

financial crisis is credit default of big companies and individuals which has badly impacted the world

economy. So in the present scenario analysing one’s credit worthiness has become very important for

any financial institution before providing any form of credit facility so that such situation doesn’t arise

in near future again.

Analysis of the credit worthiness of the borrowers is known as Credit Appraisal. In order to

understand the credit appraisal system followed by the banks this project has been conducted. The

project has analyzed the credit appraisal procedure with special reference to HDFC Bank which

includes knowing about the different credit facilities provided by the banks to its customers, how a

loan proposal is being made, what are the formalities that is to be satisfied and most importantly

knowing about the various credit appraisal techniques which are different for each type of credit

facility.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: This study would involve working out and interpreting the financial

ratios in case of working capital financing and term loans.

The study also involves the study of procedural formalities included in sanctioning the finance

to its clients.

This study would involve analyzing the balance sheets of their clients in determining their

financial needs.

To study the credit appraisal methods and to understand the commercial, financial & technical

viability of the proposal proposed and it's finding pattern.

Period of the Study: The period for the present study ranges from 2009to 2014(Budgeted).

Sources and Analysis of Data: The proposed study is carried with the help of both primary and

secondary sources of data.

Primary Data:

Informal interviews with Branch Manager and other staff members at HDFC bank.

E-circulars of HDFC.

Secondary Data:

Books and magazines.

Database at HDFC.

Internal reports of the banks.

Library research.

Websites.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

Research design or research methodology is the procedure of collecting, analyzing and

interpreting the data to diagnose the problem and react to the opportunity in such a way where

the costs can be minimized and the desired level of accuracy can be achieved to arrive at a

particular conclusion.

The methodology used in the study for the completion of the project and the fulfilment of the

project objectives.

The sample of the stocks for the purpose of collecting secondary data has been selected on the

basis of Random Sampling. The stocks are chosen in an unbiased manner and each stock is

chosen independent of the other stocks chosen. The stocks are chosen from the banking sector.

Limitations of the Study:

As the credit rating is one of the crucial areas for any bank, some of the technicalities are not

revealed which may have cause destruction to the information and our exploration of the

problem.

As some of the information is not revealed, whatever suggestions generated, are based on certain

assumptions.

Credit appraisal system includes various types of detail studies for different areas of analysis, but

due to time constraint, our analysis was of limited areas only.

The study aims at gaining the practical knowledge by taking help of bank personals. So there

might have been tendencies among the personals to amplify or filter their responses due to time

limitation.

Credit appraisal for working capital finance is study that needed specialized knowledge of the

area, so there is chance for interpretational error on my par.

BANK: A bank is a profit seeking business firm, which deals with money and credit. It accepts deposits

from the public and makes these funds available to those who need them. It helps in the remittance of

money from one place to another. A banking company is defined as a company, which transacts the

business of banking in India. A banking company in India has been defined in the banking companies

act 1949 as "one which transacts the business of banking which means the purpose of lending or

investment, of deposits of money from the public. Repayable on demand and withdraw able by cheque,

draft, order or otherwise".

Brief Overview of Loans: Loans can be of two types fund base & non-fund base:

Fund Base Includes:

Working Capital.

Term Loan.

Non-fund Base Includes:

Letter of Credit.

Bank Guarantee.

Bill Discounting.

FUND BASE:

WORKING CAPITAL:

General: The objective of running any industry is earning profits. An industry will require funds to

acquire

“Fixed assets” like land, building, plant, machinery, equipments, vehicles, tools etc., & also to

run the business i.e. its day to day operations.

Funds required for day to-day working will be to finance production & sales. For production,

funds are needed for purchase of raw materials/stores/fuel, for employment of labor, for power

charges etc., for storing finishing goods till they are sold out & for financing the sales by way of sundry

debtors/receivables.

Capital or funds required for an industry can therefore be bifurcated as fixed capital & working

capital. Working capital in this context is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. The excess

of current assets over current liabilities is treated as net working capital or liquid surplus & represents

that portion of the working capital, which has been provided from the long-term source.

Definition: Working capital is defined as the funds required carrying the required levels of current

assets to enable the unit to carry on its operations at the expected levels uninterruptedly.

Thus Working Capital required is Dependent on:

a. The volume of activity (viz. level of operations i.e. Production & sales)

b. The activity carried on viz. mfg process, product, production programme, the materials &

marketing mix.

2. The Loan Policy of the any bank has successfully withstood the test of time and with inbuilt

flexibilities, has been able to meet the challenges in the market place. The policy exits & operates

at both formal & informal levels. The formal policy is well documented in the form of circular

instructions, periodic guidelines & codified instructions, apart from the Book of Instructions,

where procedural aspects are highlighted.

3. The policy, at the holistic level, is an embodiment of the Bank’s approach to sanctioning,

managing & monitoring credit risk & aims at making the systems & controls effective.

4. The Loan Policy also aims at striking a balance between underwriting assets of high quality, and

customer oriented selling. The objective is to maintain Bank’s undisputed leadership in the

Indian Banking scene.

5. The Policy aims at continued growth of assets while endeavouring to ensure that these remain

performing & standard. To this end, as a matter of policy the Bank does not take over any Non-

Performing Asset (NPA) from other banks.

6. The Central Board of the Bank is the apex authority in formulating all matters of policy in the

bank. The Board has permitted setting up of the Credit Policy & Procedures Committee (CPPC)

at the Corporate Centre of the Bank of which the Top Management are members, to deal with

issues relating to credit policy & procedures on a Bank-wide basis. The CPPC sets broad policies

for managing credit risk including industrial rehabilitation, sets parameters for credit portfolio

in terms of exposure limits, reviews credit appraisal systems, approves policies for compromises,

write offs, etc. & general management of NPAs besides dealing with the issues relating to

Delegation of Powers.

Based on the Present Indications, following Exposure Levels are prescribed:

Individuals as borrowers Maximum aggregate credit facilities of

Rs. 20 crores(Fund based & non-fund based)

Non-corporate

(e.g. Partnerships, JHF, Associations)

Maximum aggregate credit facilities of

Rs. 80 crores(Fund based & non-fund based)

Corporate Maximum aggregate credit facilities as

per prudential norms of RBI on exposures

Term Loans (loans with Residual Maturity of over 3 years) should not in the Aggregate Exceed

35% of the Total Advances of SBI.

The Bank shall endeavor to restrict fund based exposure to a particular industry to 15% of the

Bank’s total fund based exposure.

The Bank shall restrict the term loan exposure to infrastructure projects to 10% of Bank’s total

advances.

The Bank shall endeavor to restrict exposure to sensitive sectors (i.e. to capital market, real

estate, and sensitive commodities listed by RBI) to 10% of Bank’s total advances.

The Bank’s aggregate exposure to the capital markets shall not exceed 5% of the total

outstanding advances (including commercial paper) as on March 31 of the previous year.

HDFC BANK load policy contains various norms for sanction of different types of loans. There

all norms does not apply to each & every case. HDFC BANK norms for providing loans are flexible & it

may differ from case to case.

The CRA models adopted by the bank take into account all possible factors, which go into

appraising the risk associated with a loan, these have been categorized broadly into financial, business,

industrial, and management risks & are rated separately.

Usually, it is seen that credit appraisal is basically done on the basis of fundamental soundness.

But, after different types of case studies, our conclusion was such that, in HDFC BANK, credit appraisal

system is not only looking for financial wealth. Other strong parameters also play an important role in

analyzing creditworthiness of the firm.

Moreover, the study at HDFC BANK gave a vast learning experience to us and has helped to

enhance our knowledge. During the study we learnt how the theoretical financial analysis aspects are

used in practice during the working capital finance assessment. We have realized during my project

that a credit analyst must own multi-disciplinary talents like financial, technical as well as legal know-

how.

The credit appraisal for working capital finance system has been devised in a systematic way.

There are clear guidelines on how the credit analyst or lending officer has to analyze a loan proposal.

It includes Phase-wise Analysis which Consists of 5 Phases:

1. Financial statement analysis.

2. Working capital and its assessment techniques.

3. Credit risk assessment.

4. Documentation.

5. Loan administration.

To ensure asset quality, proper risk assessment right at the beginning, is extremely important.

That is why Credit Risk Assessment system is an essential ingredient of the Credit Appraisal exercise.

The HDFC BANK was the first to formulate a Credit Risk Assessment model. It considers

important parameters like profitability, repayment capacity, and efficiency of the unit, historical

/industry comparisons etc., which were not factored in other models. It is equally efficient as the

SIDBI’s CART (Credit Assessment and Rating Tool) model.

In all, the viability of the project from every aspect is analyzed, as well as type of business,

industry, promoters, past records, experience, projected data and estimates, goals, long term plans also

plays crucial role in increasing chances of getting project approved for loan.
