Credit Appraisal in Sbi Bank Project6 Report

CREDIT APPRAISAL IN BANKING SECTOR
INTRODUCTION TO BANKING SECTOR & SBI

HISTORY OF BANKING INDUSTRY:
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), as the central bank of the country, closely monitors developments in the whole financial sector.
The banking sector is dominated by Scheduled Commercial Banks (SBCs). As at end-March 2002, there were 296 Commercial banks operating in India. This included 27 Public Sector Banks (PSBs), 31 Private, 42 Foreign and 196 Regional Rural Banks. Also, there were 67 scheduled co-operative banks consisting of 51 scheduled urban co-operative banks and 16 scheduled state co-operative banks.
Scheduled commercial banks touched, on the deposit front, a growth of 14% as against 18% registered in the previous year. And on advances, the growth was 14.5% against 17.3% of the earlier year.
State Bank of India is still the largest bank in India with the market share of 20% ICICI and its two subsidiaries merged with ICICI Bank, leading creating the second largest bank in India with a balance sheet size of Rs. 1040bn.
Higher provisioning norms, tighter asset classification norms, dispensing with the concept of past due for recognition of NPAs, lowering of ceiling on exposure to a single borrower and group exposure etc., are among the measures in order to improve the banking sector.
A minimum stipulated Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) was introduced to strengthen the ability of banks to absorb losses and the ratio has subsequently been raised from 8% to 9%. It is proposed to hike the CAR to 12% by 2004 based on the Basle Committee recommendations.
BSPATIL
Retail Banking is the new mantra in the banking sector. The home loans alone account for nearly two-third of the total retail portfolio of the bank. According to one estimate, the retail segment is expected to grow at 30-40% in the coming years.
Net banking, phone banking, mobile banking, ATMs and bill payments are the new buzz words that banks are using to lure customers.
With a view to provide an institutional mechanism for sharing of information on borrowers / potential borrowers by banks and Financial Institutions, the Credit Information Bureau (India) Ltd. (CIBIL) was set up in August 2000. The Bureau provides a framework for collecting, processing and sharing credit information on borrowers of credit institutions. SBI and HDFC are the promoters of the CIBIL. The RBI is now planning to transfer of its stakes in the SBI, NHB and National bank for Agricultural and Rural Development to the private players. Also, the Government has sought to lower its holding in PSBs to a minimum of 33% of total capital by allowing them to raise capital from the market.
Banks are free to acquire shares, convertible debentures of corporate and units of equity-oriented mutual funds, subject to a ceiling of 5% of the total outstanding advances (including commercial paper) as on March 31 of the previous year.
The finance ministry spelt out structure of the government-sponsored ARC called the Asset Reconstruction Company (India) Limited (ARCIL), this pilot project of the ministry would pave way for smoother functioning of the credit market in the country. The government will hold 49% stake and private players will hold the rest 51%- the majority being held by ICICI Bank (24.5%).
REFORMS IN THE BANKING SECTOR:
The first phase of financial reforms resulted in the nationalization of 14 major banks in 1969 and
BSPATIL

resulted in a shift from Class banking to Mass banking. This in turn resulted in a significant growth in the geographical coverage of banks. Every bank has to earmark a minimum percentage of their loan portfolio to sectors identified as priority sectors. The manufacturing sector also grew during the 1970s in protected environs and the banking sector was a critical source. The next wave of reforms saw the nationalization of 6 more commercial banks in 1980. Since then the number scheduled commercial banks increased four-fold and the number of banks branches increased eight-fold.
After the second phase of financial sector reforms and liberalization of the sector in the early nineties, the Public Sector Banks (PSB) s found it extremely difficult to complete with the new private sector banks and the foreign banks. The new private sector banks first made their appearance after the guidelines permitting them were issued in January 1993. Eight new private sector banks are presently in operation. These banks due to their late start have access to state-ofthe-art technology, which in turn helps them to save on manpower costs and provide better services.
During the year 2000, the State Bank of India (SBI) and its 7 associates accounted for a 25% share in deposits and 28.1% share in credit. The 20 nationalized banks accounted for 53.5% of the deposits and 47.5% of credit during the same period. The share of foreign banks ( numbering 42 ), regional rural banks and other scheduled commercial banks accounted for 5.7%, 3.9% and 12.2% respectively in deposits and 8.41%, 3.14% and 12.85% respectively in credit during the year 2000.
CLASSIFICATION OF BANKS:
The Indian banking industry, which is governed by the Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949 can be broadly classified into two major categories, non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks.
BSPATIL

Scheduled banks comprise commercial banks and the co-operative banks. In terms of ownership, commercial banks can be further grouped into nationalized banks, the State Bank of India and its group banks, regional rural banks and private sector banks (the old / new domestic and foreign). These banks have over 67,000 branches spread across the country. The Indian banking industry is a mix of the public sector, private sector and foreign banks. The private sector banks are again spilt into old banks and new banks.

A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.

But the lofty traditions of banking which the Imperial Bank consistently maintained and the high standard of integrity it observed in its operations inspired confidence in its depositors that no other bank in India could perhaps then equal. All these enabled the Imperial Bank to acquire a pre-eminent position in the Indian banking industry and also secure a vital place in the country's economic life.
When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including reserves) of Rs.11.85 crores, deposits and advances of Rs.275.14 crores and Rs.72.94 crores respectively and a network of 172 branches and more than 200 sub offices extending all over the country. Key Areas of Operations:

CHAPTER-2 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CREDIT APPRAISAL

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.
Brief overview of credit:
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
BSPATIL

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 which measures the financial condition and the ability of the customer to repay back the loan in future. Generally the credit 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.
It is the process of appraising the credit worthiness of a loan applicant. Factors like age, income, number of dependents, nature of employment, continuity of employment, repayment capacity, previous loans, credit cards, etc. are taken into account while appraising the credit worthiness of a person. Every bank or lending institution has its own panel of officials for this purpose.
However the 3 C of credit are crucial & relevant to all borrowers/ lending which must be kept in mind at all times. Character Capacity Collateral
If any one of these are missing in the equation then the lending officer must question the viability of credit.
There is no guarantee to ensure a loan does not run into problems; however if proper credit evaluation techniques and monitoring are implemented then naturally the loan loss probability / problems will be minimized, which should be the objective of every lending officer.
Credit is the provision of resources (such as granting a loan) by one party to another party where that second party does not reimburse the first party immediately, thereby generating a debt, and instead arranges either to repay or return those resources (or material(s) of equal value) at a later date. The first party is called a creditor, also known as a lender, while the second party is called a debtor, also known as a borrower.

Credit allows you to buy goods or commodities now, and pay for them later. We use credit to buy things
with an agreement to repay the loans over a period of time. The most common way to avail credit is by the use of credit cards. Other credit plans include personal loans, home loans, vehicle loans, student loans, small business loans, trade.
A credit is a legal contract where one party receives resource or wealth from another party and promises to repay him on a future date along with interest. In simple terms, a credit is an agreement of postponed payments of goods bought or loan. With the issuance of a credit, a debt is formed.
BASIC TYPES OF CREDIT
There are four basic types of credit. By understanding how each works, you will be able to get the most for your money and avoid paying unnecessary charges. Service credit is monthly payments for utilities such as telephone, gas, electricity, and water. You often have to pay a deposit, and you may pay a late charge if your payment is not on time. Loans let you borrow cash. Loans can be for small or large amounts and for a few days or several years. Money can be repaid in one lump sum or in several regular payments until the amount you borrowed and the finance charges are paid in full. Loans can be secured or unsecured. Installment credit may be described as buying on time, financing through the store or the easy payment plan. The borrower takes the goods home in exchange for a promise to pay later. Cars, major appliances, and furniture are often purchased this way. You usually sign a contract, make a down payment, and agree to pay the balance with a specified number of equal payments called installments. The finance charges are included in the payments. The item you purchase may be used as security for the loan. Credit cards are issued by individual retail stores, banks, or businesses. Using a credit card can be the equivalent of an interest-free loan--if you pay for the use of it in full at the end of each month.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF LOANS Credit can be of two types fund base & non-fund base: FUND BASED includes: Working Capital Term Loan
NON-FUND BASED includes: Letter of Credit Bank Guarantee
FUND BASED:WORKING CAPITAL:1. 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.
BSPATIL

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 labour, 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. 2. Definition Working capital is defined as the funds required to carry 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. 3.

4. OPERATING CYCLE METHOD a) Any manufacturing activity is characterized by a cycle of operations consisting of purchase of purchase of raw materials for cash, converting these into finished goods & realizing cash by sale of these finished goods.
b) Diagrammatically, the OPERATING CYCLE is represented as under
BSPATIL
Raw Materials
Stock in Process
Cash

Bills
c) The time that lapses between cash outlay & cash realization by sale of finished goods & realization of sundry debtors is known as the length of the operating cycle. d) That is, the operating cycle consists of: Time taken to acquire raw materials & average period for which they are in store.
BSPATIL

Conversion process time Average period for which finished goods are in store & Average collection period of receivables (Sundry Debtors)
Operating cycle is also called the cash-to-cash cycle & indicates how cash is converted into raw material, stocks in process, finished goods, bills (receivables) & finally back to cash. Working capital is the total cash that is circulating in this cycle. Therefore, working capital can be turned over or redeployed after completing the cycle. e) The length of the operating cycle = a+b+c+d (as in 4.4) If a = 60 days b = 10 days c = 20 days d = 30 days The operating cycle is 120 days (nearly 4 months). This means there are 365/120 = 3 cycles of operations in a year. Sales Operating expenses = = Rs. 1,00,000 per annum Rs. 72,000 per annum
But the working capital requirement, as you know, is not Rs. 72,000. In these cases, there are 3 operating cycles in a year. That means each rupee of working deployed in the unit is turned over 3 times in a year. (This is also known as working capital turnover ratio). Therefore WCR = Operating Expenses No. of cycles per annum = Rs. 72,000/- = Rs. 24,000/3
WCR is therefore not Rs. 72,000/- but only Rs. 24,000/-
Assessment of Working Capital Requirement & Permissible Bank Finance using Operating Cycle Concept Let us consider a case of a unit where: Sales = Rs. 20,000 p.m. (A)
BSPATIL

Raw Materials Wages Other manufacturing Expenses Total expenses Profit The operating cycle is Raw Materials Stock in Process FG Sundry Debtors The total length of Operating cycle = 15 days = 2 days = 3 days = 15 days = 35 days (D) = Rs. 3,000 p.m. = Rs. 19,000 p.m. (B) = Rs. 1,000 P.m. (C) = Rs. 14,000 p.m. = Rs. 2,000 p.m.
WCR = B * D = 19,000 * 35 = Rs. 22,167/- (approx.) 30 30 Where B = Operating Expenses; & D = Length of Operating cycle
TERM LOAN
1. A term loan is granted for a fixed term of not less than 3 years intended normally for financing fixed assets acquired with a repayment schedule normally not exceeding 8 years. 2. A term loan is a loan granted for the purpose of capital assets, such as purchase of land, construction of, buildings, purchase of machinery, modernization, renovation or
BSPATIL

rationalization of plant, & repayable from out of the future earning of the enterprise, in installments, as per a prearranged schedule. From the above definition, the following differences between a term loan & the working capital credit afforded by the Bank are apparent:
The purpose of the term loan is for acquisition of capital assets.
The term loan is an advance not repayable on demand but only in installments ranging over a period of years. The repayment of term loan is not out of sale proceeds of the goods & commodities per se, whether given as security or not. The repayment should come out of the future cash accruals from the activity of the unit. The security is not the readily saleable goods & commodities but the fixed assets of the units.
3. It may thus be observed that the scope & operation of the term loans are entirely different from those of the conventional working capital advances. The Banks commitment is for a long period & the risk involved is greater. An element of risk is inherent in any type of loan because of the uncertainty of the repayment. Longer the duration of the credit, greater is the attendant uncertainty of repayment & consequently the risk involved also becomes greater. 4. However, it may be observed that term loans are not so lacking in liquidity as they appear to be. These loans are subject to a definite repayment programme unlike short term loans for working capital (especially the cash credits) which are being renewed year after year. Term loans would be repaid in a regular way from the anticipated income of the industry/ trade.
5. These distinctive characteristics of term loans distinguish them from the short term credit granted by the banks & it becomes necessary therefore, to adopt a different approach in examining the applications of borrowers for such credit & for appraising such proposals. 6. The repayment of a term loan depends on the future income of the borrowing unit. Hence, the primary task of the bank before granting term loans is to assure itself that the anticipated income from the unit would provide the necessary amount for the repayment of the loan. This will involve a detailed scrutiny of the scheme, its financial aspects, economic aspects, technical aspects, a projection of future trends of outputs & sales & estimates of cost, returns, flow of funds & profits. 7. Appraisal of Term Loans
BSPATIL
Appraisal of term loan for, say, an industrial unit is a process comprising several steps. There are four broad aspects of appraisal, namely Technical Feasibility - To determine the suitability of the technology selected & the adequacy of the technical investigation & design; Economic Feasibility - To ascertain the extent of profitability of the project & its sufficiency in relation to the repayment obligations pertaining to term assistance; Financial Feasibility - To determine the accuracy of cost estimates, suitability of the envisaged pattern of financing & general soundness of the capital structure; & Managerial Competency To ascertain that competent men are behind the project to ensure its successful implementation & efficient management after commencement of commercial production.
7.1 Technical Feasibility The examination of this item consists of an assessment of the various requirement of the actual production process. It is in short a study of the availability, costs, quality & accessibility of all the goods & services needed.
a) The location of the project is highly relevant to its technical feasibility & hence special attention will have to be paid to this feature. Projects whose technical requirements could have been taken care of in one location sometimes fail because they are established in another place where conditions are less favorable. One project was located near a river to facilitate easy transportation by barge but lower water level in certain seasons made essential transportation almost impossible. Too many projects have become uneconomical because sufficient care has not been taken in the location of the project, e.g. a woolen scouring & spinning mill needed large quantities of good water but was located in a place which lacked ordinary supply of water & the limited water supply available also required efficient softening treatment. The accessibility to the various resources has meaning only with reference to location. Inadequate transport facilities or lack of sufficient power or water for instance, can adversely affect an otherwise sound industrial project. b) Size of the plant One of the most important considerations affecting the feasibility of a new industrial enterprise is the right size of the plant. The size of the plant will be
BSPATIL

such that it will give an economic product which will be competitive when compared to the alternative product available in the market. A smaller plant than the optimum size may result in increased production costs & may not be able to sell its products at competitive prices. c) Type of technology An important feature of the feasibility relates to the type of technology to be adopted for a project. A new technology will have to be fully examined & tired before it is adopted. It is equally important to avoid adopting equipment or processes which are absolute or likely to become outdated soon. The principle underlying the technological selection is that a developing country cannot afford to be the first to adopt the new nor yet the last to cast the old aside. d) Labour The labour requirements of a project, need to be assessed with special care. Though labour in terms of unemployed persons is abundant in the country, there is shortage of trained personnel. The quality of labour required & the training facilities made available to the unit will have to be taken into account e) Technical Report A technical report using the Banks Consultancy Cell, external consultants, etc., should be obtained with specific comments on the feasibility of scheme, its profitability, whether machinery proposed to be acquired by the unit under the scheme will be sufficient for all stages of production, the extent of competition prevailing, marketability of the products etc., wherever necessary.
7.2 Economic Feasibility An economic feasibility appraisal has reference to the earning capacity of the project. Since earnings depend on the volume of sales, it is necessary to determine how much output or the additional production from an established unit the market is likely to absorb at given prices. a) A thorough market analysis is one of the most essential parts of project investigation. This involves getting answers to three questions. a) How big is the market? b) How much it is likely to grow? c) How much of it can the project capture?
BSPATIL

The first step in this direction is to consider the current situation, taking account of the total output of the product concerned & the existing demand for it with a view to establishing whether there is unsatisfied demand for the product. Care should be taken to see that there is no idle capacity in the existing industries. ii) Future possible future changes in the volume & patterns of supply & demand will have to be estimated in order to assess the long term prospects of the industry. Forecasting of demand is a complicated matter but one of the vital importance. It is complicated because a variety of factors affect the demand for product e.g. technological advances could bring substitutes into market while changes in tastes & consumer preference might cause sizable shifts in demand. iii) Intermediate product The demand for Intermediate product will depend upon the demand & supply of the ultimate product (e.g. jute bags, paper for printing, parts for machines, tyres for automobiles). The market analysis in this case should cover the market for the ultimate product.
7.3 Financial Feasibility The basis data required for the financial feasibility appraisal can be broadly grouped under the following heads i) ii) iii) Cost of the project including working capital Cost of production & estimates of profitability Cash flow estimates & sources of finance.
The cash flow estimates will help to decide the disbursal of the term loan. The estimate of profitability & the breakeven point will enable the banker to draw up the repayment programme, start-up time etc. The profitability estimates will also give the estimate of the Debt Service Coverage which is the most important single factor in all the term credit analysis. A study of the projected balance sheet of the concern is essential as it is necessary for the appraisal of a term loan to ensure that the implementation of the proposed scheme.
Break-even point:
In a manufacturing unit, if at a particular level of production, the total manufacturing cost equals the sales revenue, this point of no profit/ no loss is known as the break-even point. Break-even point is expressed as a percentage of full capacity. A good project will have reasonably low
BSPATIL

break-even point which not be encountered in the projections of future profitability of the unit.
Debt/ Service Coverage:

The debt service coverage ratio serves as a guide to determining the period of repayment of a loan. This is calculated by dividing cash accruals in a year by amount of annual obligations towards term debt. The cash accruals for this purpose should comprise net profit after taxes with interest, depreciation provision & other non cash expenses added back to it.
Debt Service = Cash accruals Coverage Ratio Maturing annual obligations
This ratio is valuable, in that it serves as a measure of the repayment capacity of the project/ unit & is, therefore, appropriately included in the cash flow statements. The ratio may vary from industry to industry but one has to view it with circumspection when it is lower than the benchmark of 1.75. The repayment programme should be so stipulated that the ratio is comfortable.
7.4 Managerial Competence In a dynamic environment, the capacity of an enterprise to forge ahead of its competitors depends to a large extent, on the relative strength of its management. Hence, an appraisal of management is the touchstone of term credit analysis. If there is a change in the administration & managerial set up, the success of the project may be put to test. The integrity & credit worthiness of the personnel in charge of the management of the industry as well as their experience in management of industrial concerns should be examined. In high cost schemes, an idea of the units key personnel may also be necessary.

LETTER OF CREDIT
Introduction The expectation of the seller of any goods or services is that he should get the payment immediately on delivery of the same. This may not materialize if the seller & the buyer are at different places (either within the same country or in different countries). The seller desires to have an assurance for payment by the purchaser. At the same time the purchaser desires that the amount should be paid only when the goods are actually received. Here arises the need of Letter of Credit (LCs). The objective of LC is to provide a means of payment to the seller & the delivery of goods & services to the buyer at the same time. Definition A Letter of Credit (LC) is an arrangement whereby a bank (the issuing bank) acting at the request & on the instructions of the customer (the applicant) or on its own behalf, i. ii. iii. is to make a payment to or to the order of a third party (the beneficiary), or is to accept & pay bills of exchange (drafts drawn by the beneficiary); or authorizes another bank to effect such payment, or to accept & pay such bills of exchanges (drafts); or authorizes another bank to negotiate against stipulated document(s), provided that the terms & conditions of the credit are complied with.
Basic Principle: The basic principle behind an LC is to facilitate orderly movement of trade; it is therefore necessary that the evidence of movement of goods is present. Hence documentary LCs is those which contains documents of title to goods as part of the LC documents. Clean bills which do not have document of title to goods are not normally established by banks. Bankers and all concerned deal only in documents & not in goods. If documents are in order issuing bank will pay irrespective of whether the goods are of expected quality or not. Banks are also not responsible for the genuineness of the documents & quantity/quality of goods. If importer is your borrower, the bank has to advice him to convert all his requirements in the form of documents to ensure quantity & quality of goods. Parties to the LC 1) 2) Applicant The buyer who applies for opening LC Beneficiary The seller who supplies goods
BSPATIL

3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) Issuing Bank The Bank which opens the LC Advising Bank The Bank which advises the LC after confirming authenticity Negotiating Bank The Bank which negotiates the documents Confirming Bank The Bank which adds its confirmation to the LC Reimbursing Bank The Bank which reimburses the LC amount to negotiating bank Second beneficiary The additional beneficiary in case of transferable LCs
Confirming bank may not be there in a transaction unless the beneficiary demand confirmation by his own bankers & such a request is made part of LC terms. A bank will confirm an LC for his beneficiary if opening bank requests this as part of LC terms. Reimbursing bank is used in an LC transaction by an opening bank when the bank does not have a direct correspondent/branch through whom the negotiating bank can be reimbursed. Here, the opening bank will direct the reimbursing bank to reimburse the negotiating bank with the payment made to the beneficiary. In the case of transferable LC, the LC may be transferred to the second beneficiary & if provided in the LC it can be transferred even more than once.
Types of Letter of Credit:a) Revocable & Irrevocable: As the name suggests, revocable LCs are those that can be revoked by the issuing bank & hence are not in commercial use. Irrevocable LCs cannot be revoked/ cancelled/ amended without the prior concern of all the parties to the LC. b) Confirmed LC: The seller may ask for the confirmation of the LC by a bank in his own country if he is not satisfied about the issuing banks credentials. c) Sight/ Usance LCs: In case of the sight LCs beneficiary gets immediate payment upon presentation of the documents while in the case of usance, the payment is made after a certain period as per the LC terms. Sight LCs have to be paid by the drawee (buyer) immediately whereas he gets credit as per LC terms under Usance LCs.
BSPATIL

d) LC with advance payment to the seller: The LC which authorizes the advising bank to advance a part of LC amount to the seller to meet pre-shipment expenses is known as Red Clause Letter of Credit. The seller gives the receipt & an undertaking to present the documents before the LC expires. Advance amount would be adjusted from the proceeds of the export documents. However, the risk is assumed by the buyer. When the Red Clause LC provides for the cost of shortage facilities at the port of shipment in addition to the pre-shipment advance to the beneficiary it is called Green Clause LC. The goods are stored in the name of the issuing bank. e) Revolving LC: Under this, the issuing bank undertakes to restore the credit to the original amount after it has been utilized. Number of such utilization & the period of time by which this should take place are stipulated in the LC. On receipt of bill payment advise the LC amount gets reinstated. f) Transferable LCs: Transferable LC are transferable in whole or in part to one or more beneficiaries depending on the terms of LC. As per UCPDC stipulated in the LC, all LC are not transferable. g) Back to back LCs: When the bank opens new LCs against the backing of an LC received by a beneficiary having the first LC as security for the new LCs opened, the transaction is referred to as Back to Back. For example let us assume a customer A, who exports marine products by buying them from a number of suppliers. If A receives an LC for USD 100000 for shipment of marine products & he approaches the Bank for opening LCs in favour of his suppliers of marine products within the original value & in keeping with the terms of the original LC these new LCs are opened against the backing of the original LC. This is the back to back transaction. However, it may be noted that this arrangement is not under the provisions of UCPDC though the individual LCs are governed by it.

BANK GUARANTEES
A contract of guarantee is defined as a contract to perform the promise or discharge the liability of the third person in case of the default. The parties to the contract of guarantees are: a) Applicant: The principal debtor person at whose request the guarantee is executed b) Beneficiary: Person to whom the guarantee is given & who can enforce it in case of default. c) Guarantee: The person who undertakes to discharge the obligations of the applicant in case of his default. Thus, guarantee is a collateral contract, consequential to a main contract between the applicant & the beneficiary. Purpose of Bank Guarantees Bank Guarantees are used to for both both preventive & remedial purposes. The guarantees executed by banks comprises both performance guarantees & financial guarantees. The guarantees are structured according to the terms of agreement, viz., security, maturity & purpose. Branches may issue guarantees generally for the following purposes: a) In lieu of security deposit/earnest money deposit for participating in tenders;
BSPATIL

b) Mobilization advance or advance money before commencement of the project by the contractor & for money to be received in various stages like plant layout, design/drawings in project finance; c) In respect of raw materials supplies or for advances by the buyers; d) In respect of due performance of specific contracts by the borrowers & for obtaining full payment of the bills; e) Performance guarantee for warranty period on completion of contract which would enable the suppliers to realize the proceeds without waiting for warranty period to be over; f) To allow units to draw funds from time to time from the concerned indenters against part execution of contracts, etc. g) Bid bonds on behalf of exporters h) Export performance guarantees on behalf of exporters favouring the Customs Department under EPCG scheme. Guidelines on conduct of Bank Guarantee business Branches, as a general rule, should limit themselves to the provision of financial guarantees & exercise due caution with regards to performance guarantee business. The subtle difference between the two types of guarantees is that under a financial guarantee, a bank guarantees a customer financial worth, creditworthiness & his capacity to take up financial risks. In a performance guarantee, the banks guarantee obligations relate to the performance related obligations of the applicant (customer). While issuing financial guarantees, it should be ensured that customers should be in a position to reimburse the Bank in case the Bank is required to make the payment under the guarantee. In case of performance guarantee, branches should exercise due caution & have sufficient experience with the customer to satisfy themselves that the customer has the necessary experience, capacity, expertise, & means to perform the obligations under the contract & any default is not likely to occur. Branches should not issue guarantees for a period more than 18 months without prior reference to the controlling authority. Extant instructions stipulate an Administrative Clearance for issue of BGs for a period in excess of 18 months. However, in cases where requests are received for extension of the period of BGs as long as the fresh period of extension is within 18 months. No bank guarantee should normally have a maturity of more than 10 years. Bank guarantee beyond maturity of 10 years may be considered against 100% cash margin with prior approval of the controlling authority. More than ordinary care is required to be executed while issuing guarantees on behalf of
BSPATIL

customers who enjoy credit facilities with other banks. Unsecured guarantees, where furnished by exception, should be for a short period & for relatively small amounts. All deferred payment guarantee should ordinarily be secured.
Appraisal of Bank Guarantee Limit Proposals for guarantees shall be appraised with the same diligence as in the case of fund-base limits. Branches may obtain adequate cover by way of margin & security so as to prevent default on payments when guarantees are invoked. Whenever an application for the issue of bank guarantee is received, branches should examine & satisfy themselves about the following aspects: a) The need of the bank guarantee & whether it is related to the applicants normal trade/business. b) Whether the requirement is one time or on the regular basis c) The nature of bank guarantee i.e., financial or performance d) Applicants financial strength/ capacity to meet the liability/ obligation under the bank guarantee in case of invocation. e) Past record of the applicant in respect of bank guarantees issued earlier; e.g., instances of invocation of bank guarantees, the reasons thereof, the customers response to the invocation, etc. f) Present o/s on account of bank guarantees already issued g) Margin h) Collateral security offered Format of Bank Guarantees Bank guarantees should normally be issued on the format standardized by Indian Banks
BSPATIL

Association (IBA). When it is required to be issued on a format different from the IBA format, as may be demanded by some of the beneficiary Government departments, it should be ensured that the bank guarantee is a) for a definite period, b) for a definite objective enforceable on the happening of a definite event, c) for a specific amount d) in respect of bona fide trade/ commercial transactions, e) contains the Banks standard limitation clause f) not stipulating any onerous clause, & g) not containing any clause for automatic renewal of the bank guarantee on its expiry Specimen of the First Page of Bank Guarantee (To be stamped as an agreement in accordance with the Stamp Act in force) STATE BANK OF INDIA .Branch Form No. . . . .

CHAPTER-4 INTRODUCTION OF SME

SME
BSPATIL
4.1 Concept:
The small-scale industries (SSI) produce about 8000 products, contribute 40% of the industrial output and offer the largest employment after agriculture. The sector, therefore, presents an opportunity to the nation to harness local competitive advantages for achieving global dominance.
4.2 From SSI to SME:

Defining the New Paradigm2.1 Government policy as well as credit policy has so far concentrated on manufacturing units in the small-scale sector. The lowering of trade barriers across the globe has increased the minimum viable scale of enterprises. The size of the unit and technology employed for firms to be globally competitive is now of a higher order. The definition of small-scale sector needs to be revisited and the policy should consider inclusion of services and trade sectors within its ambit. In keeping with global practice, there is also a need to broaden the current concept of the sector and include the medium enterprises in a composite sector of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A comprehensive legislation, which would enable the paradigm shift from small-scale industry to small and medium enterprises under consideration of Parliament. The Reserve Bank of India had meanwhile set up an Internal Group which has recommended: Current SSI/tiny industries definition may continue. Units with investment in plant and machinery in excess of SSI limit and up to Rs.10 crore may be treated as Medium Enterprises (ME). The definition may be reviewed after enactment of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Bill.
4.3 Definition of SMEs At present, a small scale industrial unit is an undertaking in which investment in plant and machinery, does not exceed Rs.1 crore, except in respect of certain specified items under hosiery,
BSPATIL

hand tools, drugs and pharmaceuticals, stationery items and sports goods, where this investment limit has been enhanced to Rs 5 crore. Units with investment in plant and machinery in excess of SSI limit and up to Rs. 10 crore may be treated as Medium Enterprises (ME). The Government of India has enacted the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act 2006 which was notified on October 2, 2006. The definition of the small and medium enterprises as provided in the Act (Annex VII) will have immediate effect.
4.4 Eligibility criteria

(i) These guidelines would be applicable to the following entities, which are viable or potentially viable: a) All non-corporate SMEs irrespective of the level of dues to banks. b) All corporate SMEs, which are enjoying banking facilities from a single bank, irrespective of the level of dues to the bank. c) All corporate SMEs, which have funded and non-funded outstanding up to Rs.10 crore under multiple/ consortium banking arrangement. (ii) Accounts involving willful default, fraud and malfeasance will not be eligible for restructuring under these guidelines. (iii) Accounts classified by banks as Loss Assets will not be eligible for restructuring. (iv) In respect of BIFR cases banks should ensure completion of all formalities in seeking approval from BIFR before implementing the package.
SME: At present, a small scale industrial unit is an industrial undertaking in which investment in plant and machinery, does not exceed Rs.1 crore except in respect of certain specified items under hosiery, hand tools, drugs and pharmaceuticals, stationery items and sports goods where this investment limit has been enhanced to Rs.5 crore. A comprehensive legislation which would enable the paradigm shift from small scale industry to small and medium enterprises is under consideration of Parliament. Pending enactment of the above legislation, current SSI/tiny industries definition may continue. Units with investment in plant and machinery in excess of SSI limit and up to Rs.10 crore may be treated as Medium Enterprises (ME). Only SSI financing will be included in Priority Sector.
All banks may fix self-targets for financing to SME sector so as to reflect a higher disbursement
BSPATIL

over the immediately preceding year, while the sub-targets for financing tiny units and smaller units to the extent of 40% and 20% respectively may continue. Banks may arrange to compile data on outstanding credit to SME sector as on March 31, 2005 as per new definition and also showing the break up separately for tiny, small and medium enterprises.
Banks may initiate necessary steps to rationalize the cost of loans to SME sector by adopting a transparent rating system with cost of credit being linked to the credit rating of enterprise. SIDBI has developed a Credit Appraisal & Rating Tool (CART) as well as a Risk Assessment Model (RAM) and a comprehensive rating model for risk assessment of proposals for SMEs. The banks may consider to take advantage of these models as appropriate and reduce their transaction costs. In order to increase the outreach of formal credit to the SME sector, all banks, including Regional Rural Banks may make concerted efforts to provide credit cover on an average to at least 5 new small/medium enterprises at each of their semi urban/urban branches per year. A debt restructuring mechanism for nursing of sick units in SME sector and a One Time Settlement (OTS) Scheme for small scale NPA accounts in the books of the banks as on March 31, 2004 are being introduced.
4.5 CHALLENGES FACED BY SME: The challenges being faced by the small and medium sector may be briefly set out as followsa) Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), particularly the tiny segment of the small enterprises have inadequate access to finance due to lack of financial information and non-formal business practices. SMEs also lack access to private equity and venture capital and have a very limited access to secondary market instruments. b) SMEs face fragmented markets in respect of their inputs as well as products and are vulnerable to market fluctuations. c) SMEs lack easy access to inter-state and international markets. d) The access of SMEs to technology and product innovations is also limited. There is lack of awareness of global best practices. e) SMEs face considerable delays in the settlement of dues/payment of bills by the large scale buyers. With the deregulation of the financial sector, the ability of the banks to service the credit requirements of the SME sector depends on the underlying transaction costs, efficient recovery
BSPATIL

processes and available security. There is an immediate need for the banking sector to focus on credit and SMEs.
CHAPTER-5 CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT

FOR A BANK, WHAT IS RISK? Risk is inability or unwillingness of borrower-customer or counter-party to meet their repayment obligations/ honor their commitments, as per the stipulated terms.
LENDER TASK Identify the risk factors, and Mitigate the risk
HOW DOES RISK ARISE IN CREDIT? In the business world, Risk arises out of Deficiencies / lapses on the part of the management (Internal factor) Uncertainties in the business environment (External factor) Uncertainties in the industrial environment (External factor) Weakness in the financial position (Internal factor)
To put in another way, success factors behind a business are: Managerial ability Favorable business environment Favorable industrial environment
BSPATIL
Adequate financial strength
As such, these are the broad risk categories or risk factors built into our CRA models. CRA takes into account the above types of risks associated with the borrowal unit. The eventual CRA rating awarded to a unit (based on a score of 100) is a single-point risk indicator of an individual credit exposure, & is used to indentify, to measure & to monitor the credit risk of an individual proposal. At the corporate level, CRA is also used to track the quality of Banks credit portfolio. CREDIT & RISK Go hand in hand. They are like twin brothers. They can be compared to two sides of the same coin. All credit proposals have some inherent risks, excepting the almost negligible volume of lending against liquid collaterals with adequate margin.
LENDING DESPITE RISKS: So, risk should not deter a Banker from lending. A bankers task is to identify/ assess the risk factors/ parameters & manage / mitigate them on a continuous basis. But its always prudent to have some idea about the degree of risk associated with any credit proposal. The banker has to take a calculated risk, based on risk-absorption/ risk-hedging capacity & risk-mitigation techniques of the Bank.
BSPATIL
IMPORTANCE OF CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT Credit is a core activity of banks & an important source of their earnings, which go to pay interest to depositors, salaries to employees & dividend to shareholders In credit, it is not enough that we have sizable growth in quantity/ volume, it is also necessary to ensure that we have only good quality growth. To ensure asset quality, proper risk assessment right at the beginning, that is, at the time of taking an exposure, is extremely important. Moreover, with the implementation of Basle-II accord4, capital has to be allocated for loan assets depending on the risk perception/ rating of respective assets. It is, therefore, extremely important for every bank to have a clear assessment of risks of the loan assets it creates, to become Basle-II compliant. That is why Credit Risk Assessment (CRA) system is an essential ingredient of the Credit Appraisal exercise. INDIAN SCENARIO: In Indian banks, there was no systematic method of Credit Risk Assessment till late 1980s/ early 1990s. Health Code System (1985) / IRAC norms (1993) are Asset (loan) classification systems, not CRA systems. RBI came out with its guidelines on Risk Management Systems in Banks in 1999 & Guidance Note on Management of Credit in October, 2002.
SBI SCENARIO: However, like in many other fields, in the field of Credit Risk Assessment too, our Bank played a proactive & pioneering role. We had our Credit Rating System (CRA) in 1988. Then, the CRA system was introduced in the Bank in 1996. The first CRA model was rolled out in 1996 to take care of exposures to the C & I (Manufacturing) segment. Thereafter, separate models for SSI & AGL segments were introduced in 1998, when the C&I (Mfg) CRA model was developed for Non Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs).
BSPATIL
As of now, in SBI, CRA is the most important component of the Credit Appraisal exercise for all exposures > 25 lacs & a very important tool in decision-making (a Decision Support System) as well as in pricing. The review of the existing CRA Model for NBFCs is under process. CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT (CRA) MINIMUM SCORES / HURDLE RATES 1. The CRA models adopted by the Bank take into account all possible factors which go into appraising the risks associated with a loan. These have been categorized broadly into financial, business, industrial & management risks and are rated separately. To arrive at the overall risk rating, the factors duly weighted are aggregated & calibrated to arrive at a single point indicator of risk associated with the credit decision. 2. Financial parameters: The assessment of financial risk involves appraisal of the financial strength of the borrower based on performance & financial indicators. The overall financial risk is assessed in terms of static ratios, future prospects & risk mitigation (collateral security / financial standing). 3. Industry parameters: The following characteristics of an industry which pose varying degrees of risk are built into Banks CRA model: Competition Industry outlook Regulatory risk Contemporary issues like WTO etc.
4. Management parameters: The management of an enterprise / group is rated on the following parameters: Integrity (corporate governance) Track record Managerial competence / commitment Expertise
BSPATIL

Structure & systems Experience in the industry Credibility : ability to meet sales projections Credibility : ability to meet profit (PAT) projections Payment record Strategic initiatives Length of relationship with the Bank
5. The risk parameters as mentioned above are individually scored to arrive at an aggregate score of 100 (subject to qualitative factors negative parameters). The overall score thus obtained (out of a max. of 100) is rated on a 8 point scale from SB1/SBTL1 to SB 8 /SBTL8.

Bank has introduced New Rating Scales for borrower for giving loans. Rating is given on the basis of scores out of 100. Bank gives loans to the borrower as per their rating like SBI gives loans to the borrower up to SB8 rating as it has average risk till SB8 rating. From SB9 rating the risk increases. So banks does not give loans after SB8 rating.

SBI NORMS FOR CREDIT APPRAISAL

LOAN POLICY AN INTRODUCTION
1.1 State Bank of Indias (SBI) Loan Policy is aimed at accomplishing its mission of retaining the banks position as a Premier Financial Services Group, with World class standards & significant global business, committed to excellence in customer, shareholder & employee satisfaction & to play a leading role in the expanding & diversifying financial services sector, while continuing emphasis on its Development Banking role.
1.2 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.
1.3 The policy, at the holistic level, is an embodiment of the Banks approach to sanctioning, managing & monitoring credit risk & aims at making the systems & controls effective.
1.4 The Loan Policy also aims at striking a balance between underwriting assets of high quality, and customer oriented selling. The objective is to maintain Banks undisputed leadership in the Indian Banking scene. 1.5 The Policy aims at continued growth of assets while endeavoring to ensure that these
BSPATIL

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. 1.6 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 ) Maximum aggregate credit facilities of Rs. 80 crores ( Fund based & non-fund based )
Non-corporates ( e.g. Partnerships, JHF, Associations )
Corporates
Maximum aggregate credit facilities as per prudential norms of RBI on exposures
CREDIT APPRAISAL STANDARDS 1 (A) Qualitative:

At the outset, the proposition is examined from the angle of viability & also from the Banks prudential levels of exposure to the borrower, Group & Industry. Thereafter, a view is taken about our past experience with the promoters, if there is a track record to go by. Where it is a
BSPATIL

new connection for the bank but the entrepreneurs are already in business, opinion reports from existing bankers & published data if available are carefully pursued. In case of a maiden venture, in addition to the drill mentioned heretofore, an element of subjectively has to be perforce introduced as scant historical data weightage to be placed on impressions gained out of the serious dialogues with the promoter & his business contacts.
1 (B) Quantitative:
(a) Working capital: The basis quantitative parameters underpinning the Banks credit appraisal are as follows:-
Sector/ Parameters Liquidity Current Ratio (min.) Financial Soundness TOL/TNW (max.) DSCR Net (min.) Gros (min.) Gearing D/E (max.) Promoters contribution (min.)
Mfg 1.33
3.00 2:1 1.75:1
Others 1.20 (For FBWC limits above Rs. 5 cr.) 1.00 (For FBWC limits upto Rs. 5 cr.)) 5.00 2:1 1.75:1
2:1 2:1 30% of equity 20% of equity
(i) Liquidity: Current Ratio (CR) of 1.33 will generally be considered as a benchmark level of liquidity. However the approach has to be flexible. CR of 1.33 is only indicative & may not be deemed mandatory. In cases where the CR is projected at a lower than the benchmark or a slippage in the CR is proposed, it alone will not be a reason for rejection for the loan proposal or for the sanction of the loan at a lower level. In such cases, the reason for low CR or slippage should be carefully
BSPATIL

examined & in deserving cases the CR as projected may be accepted. In cases where projected CR is found acceptable, working capital finance as requested may be sanctioned. In specific cases where warranted, such sanction can be with the condition that the borrower should bring in additional long-term funds to a specific extent by a given future date. Where it is felt that the projected CR is not acceptable but the borrower deserves assistance subject to certain conditions, suitable written commitment should be obtained from the borrower to the effect that he would be bringing in required amounts within a mutually agreed time frame
(ii) Net Working Capital: Although this is a corollary of current ratio, the movements in NWC are watched to ascertain whether there is a mismatch of long term sources vis--vis long term uses for purposes which may not be readily acceptable to the Bank so that corrective measures can be suggested.
(iii)
Financial Soundness:
This will be dependent upon the owners stake or the leverage. Here again the benchmark will be different for manufacturing, trading, hire-purchase & leasing concerns. For industrial ventures a Total Outside Liability/ Tangible Net worth ratio of 3.0 is reasonable but deviations in selective cases for understandable reasons may be accepted by the sanctioning authority. (iv) Turn-Over: The trend in turnover is carefully gone into both in terms of quantity & valve as also market share wherever such data are available. What is more important to establish a steady output if not a rising trend in quantitative terms because sales realization may be varying on account of price fluctuations. (v) Profits: While net profit is ultimate yardstick, cash accruals, i.e., profit before depreciation & taxation conveys the more comparable picture in view of changes in rate of depreciation & taxation, which have taken place in the intervening years. However, for the sake of proper assessment, the non-operating income is excluded, as these are usually one time or extraordinary income. Companies incurring net losses consistently over 2 or more years will be given special attention, their accounts closely monitored, and if necessary, exit options explored.
BSPATIL
(vi) Credit Rating: Wherever the company has been rated by a Credit Rating Agency for any instrument such as CP / FD this will be taken into account while arriving at the final decision. However as the credit rating involves additional expenditure, we would not normally insist on this and only use this tool if such an agency had already looked into the company finances.
(b) Term Loan
(i) In case of term loan & deferred payment guarantees, the project report is obtained from the customer, which may be compiled either in-house or by a firm of consultants/ merchant bankers. The technical feasibility & economic viability is vetted by the bank & wherever it is felt necessary, the Credit Officer would seek the benefit of a second opinion either from the Banks Technical Consultancy cell or from the consultants of the Bank/ SBI Capital Markets Ltd. (ii) Promoters contribution of at least 20% in the total equity is what we normally expect. But promoters contribution may vary largely in mega projects. Therefore there cannot be a definite benchmark. The sanctioning authority will have the necessary discretion to permit deviations. (iii) The other basic parameter would be the net debt service coverage ratio i.e. exclusive of interest payable, which should normally not go below 2. On a gross basis DSCR should not be below 1.75. These ratios are indicative & the sanctioning authority may permit deviations selectively.
(iv)As regards margin on security, this will depend on Debt: Equity gearing for the project, which should preferably be near about 1.5: 1 & should not in any case be above 2:1, i.e., Debt should not be more than 2 times the Equity contribution. The sanctioning authority in exceptional cases may permit deviations from the norm very selectively. (v) Other parameters governing working capital facilities would also govern Term Credit facilities to the extent applicable. (C) Lending to Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs)
BSPATIL

(D) Financing of infrastructure projects (E) Lease Finance (F) Letter of Credit, Guarantees & bills discounting (G) Fair Practices for lenders
REQUIREMENT OF DOCUMENTS FOR PROCESS OF LOAN 1. Application for requirement of loan 2. Copy of Memorandum & Article of Association 3. Copy of incorporation of business 4. Copy of commencement of business 5. Copy of resolution regarding the requirement of credit facilities
BSPATIL
6. Brief history of company, its customers & supplies, previous track records, orders in hand. Also provide some information about the directors of the company 7. Financial statements of last 3 years including the provisional financial statement for the year 2007-08 8. Copy of PAN/TAN number of company 9. Copy of last Electricity bill of company 10. Copy of GST/CST number 11. Copy of Excise number 12. Photo I.D. of all the directors 13. Address proof of all the directors 14. Copies related to the property such as 7/12 & 8A utara, lease/ sales deed, 2R permission, Allotment letter, Possession 15. Bio-data form of all the directors duly filled & notarized 16. Financial statements of associate concern for the last 3 years
PRICING (FACTORS DECIDING INT. RATES & OTHER CHARGES)
1. Pricing in the Bank can be divided into interest pricing and non-interest pricing. Pricing of loans up to Rs.2 lacs will be as prescribed by RBI. In line with RBI guidelines, he Bank announces from time to time its single Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR), i.e., reference / indicative rates at which the Bank would lend to its best customers. The BPLR would be referred to as State Bank Advance Rate (SBAR) in our Bank. Interest rate without reference to SBAR could be charged in respect of certain categories of loan / credit like discounting of bills, lending to intermediary agencies etc. Interest rates below SBAR could be offered to exporters or other credit worthy borrowers including public enterprises on the lines of a transparent and objective
BSPATIL

policy approved by the Bank's Board. All other loans are to be priced on the basis of Bank's SBAR with the pricing being linked to grade of the risk in the exposure. The maximum spread over SBAR which could be charged by the Bank will be decided by the Bank from time to time. Within such ceiling, the pricing for various credit facilities, schemes, products, credit related services etc., including sub-SBAR pricing would be determined by ALCO or COCC, as considered appropriate. Bank may also price floating rate products by using market benchmarks (e.g. G-Sec rates, MIBOR etc.) in a transparent manner as per Board approved policies.
2. An internal Credit Risk Rating system covering all advances of Rs.25 lacs and above in C&I, SSI and AGL segments has been put in place to facilitate structured assessment of credit risks. The system enables evaluation of the fundamental strength of the borrower so as to charge a graded rate of interest based on different ratings. However, taking into consideration the trends in movement of interest rates and market competition, the Bank has also adopted an appropriate authority structure to facilitate competitive pricing of loan products linked both to risk rating and overall business considerations.
3. Bank has introduced fixed interest rates in respect of certain categories of loans in personal segment, e.g. housing term loans to individuals. Fixed interest rates are also extended for commercial loans, albeit highly selectively.
4. Market related charges and a discretionary structure that enables branches to effectively face competition are in place. These would be reviewed periodically based on feedback from operating units and the market. 5. Pricing of Bank's funds and services while being basically market driven is also determined by two important considerations, i.e., minimum desired profitability and risk inherent in the transaction. At the corporate level, the applicable price for a particular advance or service is fixed taking into account the marginal cost of Bank's funds and desired rate of return as calculated from indices like profitability levels and return on capital employed. In case of corporate relationship where the value of connections and overall potential for profitability from a particular account are more important than a particular transaction, the price is fine tuned even to level of no-loss-no-profit in the transaction. For long term exposures, the factors that weigh are the rate charged by the financial institutions, the period of exposure, the pattern of volatility in the interest rates and the expected movement of the rates in the long term perspective.
REVIEW / RENEWAL OF ADVANCES
BSPATIL
1. Working capital facilities are granted by the Bank for a period of 1 year and thereafter they are required to be renewed each year, i.e., fresh sanction is accorded for the limits. Where, however, renewal is not possible for some reason, sanction for the continuance of the limits is obtained in each case by reviewing the facilities. 2. Term loans which are irregular will be reviewed once in six months. A separate authority structure, as given below, has been prescribed for above noted half-yearly review of term loans:
3. In the case of all listed companies with credit rating of SB4/SBTL4 and below, a brief review is to be put up on the basis of half-yearly working results published by them duly incorporating comments such as extent of exposure, conduct of the account etc. Such review is to be submitted to the respective GE in respect of ECCB sanctions, to the CGM (Circle) / CGM (CAG-Cen.) in respect of COCC-I&II sanctions and to the GM (Network) in all other cases.
4. There will be no CRA rating review for term loans. However, in respect of term loans, the following set of financial covenants is to be stipulated:
(i) Current Ratio (ii) TOL/TNW (iii) Interest Coverage Ratio
BSPATIL

(iv) Default in payment of interest / installment (v) Cross Default (default in payment of instalment/ interest to other institutions/ banks) Default of these covenants would attract penal interest of 1% as under:
(a) Any adverse deviation by more than 20% from the stipulated levels in respect of any two of the items (i) to (iii) above - penal interest to be levied for the period of non-adherence subject to a minimum period of 1 year. (b) Default in payment of interest/installments to the Bank or to other FI/Banks-penal interest to be levied for the period of such defaults. TAKE OVER OF ADVANCES
1. Bank needs to aggressively market for good quality advances. One of the strategies for increasing good quality assets in the Bank's loan portfolio, would be to take over advances from other banks/FIs. Keeping this in view and with the prime objective of adding only good quality assets, a common set of norms / guidelines for C&I, SSI and AGL segments has been laid down for take over of advances.
A. Advances under SSI / C&I Segments
(i) The advance to be taken over should be rated SB3/SBTL3 or above. (ii) The unit should score the minimum scores as prescribed, under the various risk segments, in the Credit Risk Assessment.
(iii)
The account should have been a standard asset in the books of the other bank/FI during the preceding 3 years. (If this information is not forthcoming from the bank/FI, a certificate should be obtained from the borrowers Auditor that the loan has been a standard asset during the preceding 3 years in the books of the bank/FI in terms of the asset classification norms of RBI. The services of statutory auditors of our Bank may also be sought for this purpose). However, if a unit is not having a track record for 3 years, as
BSPATIL

it has been in existence for a shorter duration, takeover can be considered based on the track record for the available period, which should be at least one year. (iv) The unit should have earned net profits (post tax) in each of the immediately preceding 3 years. However, if the unit has been in existence for a lesser period, it should have earned net profit (post tax) in the preceding year of operation. (v) The Term Loan proposed to be taken-over should not have been rephased, generally, by the existing FI/Bank after commencement of commercial production. However, if a rephasement was necessitated due to external factors and viability of the unit is not in doubt, such proposals may also be considered for sanction on a case to case basis. (vi)The remaining period of scheduled repayment of the term loan should be at least 2 years, when only TLs are taken over. For takeover of existing TLs, while the original time frame for repayment will be generally adhered to, flexibility may be allowed in the quantum of periodical repayments. If sanction of fresh term loan is proposed along with the takeover, the schedule of repayment for the existing term loans, if necessary, may be permitted to extend up to 8 years. [The norms at (v), (vi) and (vii) above are not applicable for take-over of working capital advances]
Note 1 : In the case of take-over proposals involving advances up to Rs.25 lacs, the ratingshould be carried out, as per the scoring model prescribed under SME Smart Score (Refer page 170, Chapter 34, Part III, Volume III of Manual on Loans & Advances). Other factors that may be kept in view are: -
Continued viability Track record Standing in the market of the unit/ promoter.
Note 2: Take-over of units from our Associate Banks is not permitted.
Note 3 : In the cases of working capital finance through consortium or multiple banking, increasing our share, and joining a consortium (or when a member bank exits consortium and we join the consortium in its place), are not reckoned as take-over of advances from other banks.
BSPATIL
B. Advances under Trade and Services Sector:
i) The current ratio and TOL/TNW ratio should be at acceptable levels, as per audited balance sheet not older than 12 months. Current ratio of not below 1 is acceptable up to FBWC limit of Rs.5 cr. For FBWC limits of above Rs.5 Cr. the current ratio of 1.33 will be indicative. It may be considered acceptable up to 1.20, depending on the activity. TOL/TNW ratio higher than 3 would be permissible depending on the type of activity.
ii) The unit should have earned post-tax profits in each of the immediately preceding 3 years. However, if the unit has been in existence for a lesser period, it should have earned net profit (post-tax) in the preceding year of operation.
C. Other Guidelines:
(i) In all cases of take-over of advances from other banks, the credit information report in the format prescribed by IBA should be obtained. The experience of the present banker (item 13 of the format) should show satisfactory dealings with the unit. Where, from the point of competition, it is necessary not to alert the bank concerned, the report may be obtained after the sanction of facilities but before release of the facilities.
(ii) In all cases of take-over, branches should ensure proper documentation and other formalities to protect the interest of our Bank.
(iii) In all cases of take-over, branches should assess the requirements of the borrower and obtain sanction for the proposed limits before actually taking over the outstanding liability of the borrower to their existing bank/ FI.
BSPATIL
(iv) The following aspects should invariably be examined in each case of take-over.
Reasons for take-over Market perception including the existing banks/FIs perception regarding the unit and its management. (For this, the appraising officials may record briefly on their enquiries with market sources/other bank/FI); Potential ancillary business accruing to the Bank; Terms and conditions stipulated by the existing bank and those proposed by our Bank, particularly to ensure against dilution of security cover. No takeover of advances from any Public Sector Bank will be resorted to by quoting finer rates
(v) The credit rating should be done based on the audited balance sheet which is not older than 12 months. However if the audited balance sheet is more than 12 months old and the proposal has to be considered from the business angle, then a provisional balance sheet as on a recent date may be obtained from the unit and the CRA exercise done based on these figures, additionally. Unit should clear the stipulated hurdle rate in both the exercises.
D. Administrative Clearance (AC)
In all the cases of take-over proposals, AC is required to be obtained. For this purpose, a brief proposal containing, inter alia, the comments on compliance with the norms and the other guidelines as above should be submitted to the appropriate authority as under: (i) For take-over of units complying with all the norms prescribed:
BSPATIL

(ii) For take-over of units not complying with any one or more of the norms prescribed:
E. While take over of 'P' segment advances is not generally encouraged, in consideration of larger business interests / valuable connections, take over of housing loans is considered selectively after due diligence and precautions, in cases where possession of the house / flat has been taken, repayment of existing loan has already commenced and installments have been paid as per terms of sanction.
CREDIT FACILITIES TO COMPANIES WHOSE DIRECTORS ARE IN THE DEFAULTERS' LIST OF RBI: 1. The Directors of any company may be classified as promoter / elected / professional/ nominee / honorary directors. RBI has been collecting and circulating information on defaulting companies amongst banks / FIs, including names of directors of such companies. Though RBI's defaulters' list is given due cognizance in the appraisal process, a general policy on the issues relating to sanction / continuation of credit facilities to such companies whose directors are in the RBI's defaulters' list needs to be put in place.
Accordingly, it has been decided to adopt the following approach:
BSPATIL
The above policy on defaulters will be a broad framework for sanction / continuation of credit facilities to companies whose directors are in the RBI's list of defaulting borrowers of banks / FIs with dues of Rs.1 Cr. and above. When the list of such defaulters is circulated by CIBIL instead of RBI), the same Policy would continue to apply.
2. Willful default & action there against - The penal measures would be made applicable to all borrowers identified as willful defaulters or the promoters involved in diversion / siphoning of funds with outstanding balance of Rs.25 lacs or more without any exception. Similarly, the limit of Rs.25 lacs will also be applied for the purpose of taking cognizance of instances of siphoning and diversion of funds.
BSPATIL

3. Where a Letter of Comfort or guarantee furnished by the companies within a Group in favour of a willfully defaulting unit is not paid when invoked by the Bank, such Group companies also may be reckoned as willful defaulters.
4. In cases of project financing, Bank would endeavour to ensure end-use of funds by, inter alia, obtaining certification from Chartered Accountants. In case of short term corporate/clean loans, such an approach would be supplemented by due diligence on the part of the Bank. It shall be the endeavor of the Bank to ensure that such loans are limited to borrowers whose integrity and reliability are above board. Bank will also retain the right to get investigative audit conducted whenever it is prima facie satisfied that there is a case for such investigative audit to detect siphoning/ diversion of funds or other malfeasance.
5. No additional facilities shall be granted by the Bank to the listed willful defaulters. Further, entrepreneurs / promoters of companies where the Bank has identified siphoning /diversion of funds, mis-representation, falsification of accounts and fraudulent transactions shall be debarred from Bank finance for floating new ventures for a period of 5 years from the date the name of the willful defaulter is published by RBI / CIBIL. 6.

LOAN ADMINISTRATION - POST SANCTION CREDIT PROCESS GENERAL 1. NEED Lending decisions are made on sound appraisal and assessment of credit worthiness. Past record of satisfactory performance and integrity are no guarantee for future though they serve as a useful guide to project the trend in performance. Credit assessment is made based on promises and projections. A loan granted on the basis of sound appraisal may go bad because the borrower did not carry out his promises regarding performance. It is for this reason that proper follow up and supervision is essential. A banker cannot take solace in sufficiency of security for his loans. He has to a) make a proper selection of borrower b) Ensure compliance with terms and conditions c) Monitor performance to check continued viability of operations d) Ensure end use of funds. e) Ultimately ensure safety of funds lent.
2. Stages of post sanction process
The post-sanction credit process can be broadly classified into three stages viz., follow-up, supervision and monitoring, which together facilitate efficient and effective credit management and maintaining high level of standard assets. The objectives of the three stages of post sanction process are detailed below.
BSPATIL

TYPES OF LENDING ARRANEMENTS INTRODUCTION Business entities can have various types of borrowing arrangements. They are One Borrower One Bank One Borrower Several Banks (with consortium arrangement) One Borrower Several Banks (without consortium arrangements Multiple Banking One Borrower Several Banks (Loan Syndication)
A. ONE BANK The most familiar amongst the above for smaller loans is the One Borrower-One Bank arrangement where the borrower confines all his financial dealings with only one bank. Sometimes, units would prefer to have banking arrangements with more than one bank on account of the large financial requirement or the resource constraint of his own banker or due to varying terms & conditions offered by different banks or for sheer administrative convenience. The advantages to the bank in a multiple banking arrangement/ consortium arrangement are that the exposure to an individual customer is limited & risk is proportionate. The bank is also able to spread its portfolio. In the case of borrowing business entity, it is able to meet its funds requirement without being constrained by the limited resource of its own banker. Besides this, consortium arrangement enables participating banks to save man power & resources through common appraisal & inspection & sharing credit information. The various arrangements under borrowings from more than one bank will differ on account of terms & conditions, method of appraisal, coordination, documentation & supervision & control. B. CONSORTIUM LENDING When one borrower avails loans from several banks under an arrangement among all the lending bankers, this leads to a consortium lending arrangements. In consortium lending, several banks pool banking resourses & expertise in credit management together & finance a single borrower with a common appraisal, common documentation & joint supervision & follow up. The borrower enjoys the advantage similar to single window availing of credit facalities from several banks. The arrangement continues until any one of the bank moves out of the consortium. The bank taking the highest share of the credit will usually be the leader of consortium. There is no ceiling on the number of banks in a consortium.
C. MULTIPLE BANKING ARRANGEMENT
BSPATIL
Multiple Banking Arrangement is one where the rules of consortium do not apply & no inter se agreement among banks exists. The borrower avails credit facility from various banks providing separate securities on different terms & conditions. There is no such arrangement called Multiple Banking Arrangement & the term is used only to donote the existence of banking arrangement with more than one bank. Multiple Banking Arrangement has come to stay as it has some advantages for the borrower & the banks have the freedom to price their credit products & non-fund based facility according to their commercial judgment. Consortium arrangement occasioned delays in credit decisions & the borrower has found his way around this difficulty by the multiple banking arrangement. Additionally, when units were not doing well, consensus was rarely prevalent among the consortium members. If one bank wanted to call up the advance & protect the security, another bank was interested in continuing the facility on account of group considerations. Points to be noted in case of multiple banking arrangements Though no formal arrangement exists among the financing banks, it is preferable to have informal exchange of information to ensure financial discipline Charges on the security given to the bank should be created with utmost care to guard against dilution in our security offered & to avoid double financing Certificates on the outstandings with the other banks should be obtained on the periodical basis & also verified from the Balance sheet of the unit to avoid excess financing
D. CREDIT SYNDICATION A syndicated credit is an agreement between two or more lending institutions to provide a borrower a credit facility using common loan documentation. It is a convenient mode of raising long-term funds. The borrower mandates a lead manager of his choice to arrange a loan for him. The mandate spells out the terms of the loan & the mandated banks rights & responsibilities. The mandated banker the lead manger prepares an information memorandum & circulates among prospective lender banks soliciting their participation in the loan. On the basis of the memorandum & on their own independent economic & financial evolution the leading banks take a view on the proposal. The mandated bank convenes the meeting to discuss the syndication strategy relating to coordination, communication & control within the syndication process & finalises deal timing, management fees, cost of credit etc. The loan agreement is signed by all the participating banks. The borrower is required to give prior notice to the lead manger about loan drawal to enable him to tie up disbursements with the other lending banks. Features of syndicated loans
BSPATIL

Arranger brings together group of banks Borrower is not required to have interface with participating banks, thus easy & hassle fee Large loans can be raised through syndication by accessing global markets For the borrower, the competition among the lenders leads to finer terms Risk is shared Small banks can also have access to large ticket loans & top class credit appraisal & management
Advantages Strict, time-bound delivery schedule & drawals Streamlined process of documentation with clearly laid down roles & responsibilities Market driven pricing linked to the risk perception Competitive pricing but scope for fee-based income is also available Syndicated portions can be sold to another bank, if required Fixed repayment schedule & strict monitoring of default by markets which punish indiscipline

Analysis:-
BSPATIL
Janak Transport Company is an existing profit making unit The main chunk behind giving loan is that Janak Transport Company is doing contract with ONGC since incorporation The promoters are having considerable experience as transport contractor with ONGC The unit has got confirm order/ tie-up with ONGC A letter of authority from ONGC was received, that if Janak Transport Company will not make the payment than ONGC will directly make the payment to the bank The promoters contribution to the project is 18.86% which is above the margin requirement The current ratio is 1.42 that is satisfactory Profits in the last two years:Min. Rs. 3 lacs with rising trend Actual profit Rs. 1.20 lacs for year 2006-07 & Rs. 2.90 lacs for the 2007-08 If the partners remuneration & interest is included, the profit for the year ended 31.03.07 & 31.03.08 is Rs. 4.81 lacs & Rs. 6.21 lacs
TOL/TNW should be max. 3 which is 12.80 here, as the co. has done multiple banking arrangement it has o/s loans with other banks also but the co. is regularly making the payment of loans of principal amount along with the interest so the loan is given. Also the contract awarded is backed by guarantee from ONGC regarding direct payment of monthly bills to SBI. Hence, surety of repayment is assured. The bank also checks commercial viability of the company & found that the DSCR for term loan is 2.02 which is considered satisfactory Despite that the bank has also done B.E. analysis & found that the B.E. sales was 47.10% of net sales for this current year The net sales & PAT of the company is increasing year after year so overall profitability is good The overall projected performance & financial of the unit are considered satisfactory

Chapter-9 Findings
Credit appraisal is done to check the commercial, financial & technical viability of the
BSPATIL

project proposed its funding pattern & further checks the primary or collateral security cover available for the recovery of such funds SBI loan policy contains various norms for sanction of different types of loans These all norms does not apply to each & every case SBI 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, management risks & are rated separately The assessment of financial risk involves appraisal of the financial strength of the borrower based on performance & financial indicators After case study we found that in some cases, loan is sanctioned due to strong financial parameters From the case study analysis it was also found that in some cases, financial performance of the firm was poor, even though loan was sanctioned due to some other strong parameters such as the the unit has got confirm order, the unit was an existing profit making unit & letter of authority was received for direct payment to the bank from ONGC which is public sector Different appraisal scheme has been introduced by the bank to cater different industries such as:Doctor plus scheme for doctors Transport plus scheme for transport School, collages & educational institutions Traders easy loan Warehouse receipt financing for commodity traders (agriculture related stock, cotton ginning, etc.) In the business world risk arises out of:Deficiencies / lapses on the part of the management Uncertainties in the business environment Uncertainties in the industrial environment
BSPATIL

Weakness in the financial position Credit is the core activity of the banks & important source of their earnings which go to pay interest to depositors, salaries to employees & dividend to shareholders Credit & risk go hand in hand Banks main function is to lend funds/ provide finance but it appears that norms are taken as guidelines not as a decision making A bankers task is to indentify/assess the risk factors/parameters & manage/mitigate them on continuous basis
