EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Indian Economy is booming on the back of strong economic policies and a healthy
regulatory regime. The effects of this are far-reaching and have the potential to ultimately
achieve the high growth rates that the country is yearning for. The banking system lies at
the nucleus of a country’s development robust reforms are needed in India’s case to fulfill
that. The BASEL II accord.from the Bank of International Settlements attempts tp put in
the place sound frameworks of measuring and quantifying the risks associated with
banking operations. The paper seeks to showcase the changes that will emerge as a result
of banks adopting the international norms.
The structure of the paper is three-fold, where we begin by projecting the risk
management scenario and its effects on internal operations of a bank, followed by the
changes brought about in the banking sector of India and finally the macro effects on the
economy. This enables one to discern the complete scenario that will emerge in the years
ahead.
The Risk Management scenario will strengthen owing to the liberalization, regulation and
integration with global markets. Management of risks will be carried out proactively and
quality of credit will improve, leading to a stronger financial sector.
In the present paper the operational efficiency of the bank and different parameters
regarding Credit Rating & other constraints and attempt is made to make a cause & effect
relationship between different variables to give the answer of different issues.

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. INDUSTRY PROFILE
Banking industry has revolutionized the transaction and financial services system
worldwide. Banking Industry services is nothing but the access of most of the banking
related services (Such as verification of accounts details, going with the transactions etc.)
In today’s world, progress of online services is available to all the customers of the
concerned bank and can accessed at any point of time and from anywhere provided the
place is equipped with the internet facility. Now-a-almost all the banks all over the world,
especially the multinational ones, provide their customers with online banking facilities.
The Indian Banking Industry can be categorized into-
a) Non Scheduled Banks
b) Scheduled Banks
Scheduled Banks constitute banks and co-operative banks. There are about 67,000
branches of scheduled banks spread across India. During the first phase of financial
reforms, there was a nationalization of 14 major banks in 1969. This crucial step led to a
shift from Class banking to Mass Banking. Since.
As far as the present scenario is concerned the banking industry is in a transition phase.
The public Sector Banks (PSBs), which are the foundation of the Indian system account
for more than 78 percent of the total banking industry assets. Unfortunately they are
burdened with the excessive Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) massive manpower & lack
of Modern Technology.
On the other hand the Private Sector Banks in India are witnessing immense progress.
They are leaders in Intent banking, mobile banking, phone Banking ATMs. On the other
hand Public Sector Banks are still facing the problem of unhappy employees. There has
been a decrease of 20 percent in the employee strength of the private sector in the wake of
the Voluntary Retirement Schemes (VRS). As far as foreign banks are concerned they are
likely to succeed in Indian.

Standard chartered India was the first to issue first global credit card in India, the first to

the ISO 8002 certification.
Basel II- A Move to meet global standards
In India, the RBI has implemented the Basel II norms. Basel II is the second of the Basel
Accords, which are recommendations on banking laws and regulations issued by the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
The purpose of Basel II, which was initially published in June 2004, is to create an
international standard that banking regulators can use when creating regulations about
how much capital banks need to put aside to guard against the types of financial and
operational risks banks face. Advocates of Basel II believe that such an international
standard can help project the international financial system from the types of problems
that might arise should a manor bank or a series of banks collapse. In practice, Basel II
attempts to accomplish this by setting up rigorous risk and capital management
requirements designed to ensure that a bank holds capital reserves appropriate to the risk
the bank exposes itself to through its lending and investment practices. Generally
speaking, these rules mean that the greater risk to which the bank is exposed, the greater
the amount of capital the bank needs to hold to safeguard its solvency and overall
economic.
Basel II uses a “three pillars” concept-(1) minimum capital requirements (addressing

risk), (2) supervisory review and (3) market discipline-to promote greater stability in the
financial system.
The first pillar
The first pillar deals with maintenance of regulatory capital calculated for three major
components of risk that a bank faces : credit risk, operational risk and market risk. Other
risks are not considered fully quantifiable at this stage.
The second pillar

13
The second pillar deals with the regulatory response to the first pillar, giving regulators
much improved “tools” over those available to them under Basel I . it also provides a
framework for dealing with all the other risks a bank may face, such as systemic risk,
pension risk concentration risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, liquidity risk and legal risk,
which the accord combines under the title of residual risk.
The third Pillar
The third pillar greatly increases the disclosures that the bank must make. This is
designed to allow the market to have a better picture of the overall risk position of the
bank and to allow the counter parties of the bank to price and deal appropriately.
Advantages of Basel II in India.
The plausible advantages that would have in store for India would be both banking as
well as non-banking.
• Banking Opportunities
With second highest growth rate in the world and huge scientific and general work force,
India is now well recognized as one of the fast emerging nations in the world. A sound
and evolved banking system should thus be a prime requirement to support the hectic and
enhanced levels of domestic and international economic activities in the country. Though
India is credited with a strong banking system, still some better risk practices by Indian
banks are required. A majority of Indian banks are either at nascent or at a very low
level of competence in Credit, Market and Operational risk measurement and
management system. They are lagging behind in use of modem risk methodologies and
tools in comparison to their western counterparts. Economic reforms, higher market
dynamics and large-scale globalization demand a robust risk management system in the
Indian banks . as suggested by the recent Global Trust bank fiasco the current level of risk
based supervision and market disclosures are also not very satisfactory in the Indian
banking system. Basel II gives an opportunity and a framework for improvement to the
Indian banks. A Basel II compliant banking system will further enhance the image of
India in the League of Nations. The country rating of Indian will wurely improve, and

14
consequently facilitate a higher capital inflow in the country. This will tremendously help
India to move on the higher growth trajectory in the coming decades.
• Non-Banking Opportunities
The major advantage of Basel II to India is going to be in the area of services.

Predominantly, It and manpower. The banks all over the world will have to make huge
investments in order to be the Basel II compliant. These investments will be mainly in the
areas of information technology system (Software tools Database management, Business
Intelligence, Hardware), training etc. to create risk infrastructure to address the three
compliance pillars of the Basel II. Here is the opportunity for consultancy and IT
companies in India and abroad. Indian IT companies with an established reputation of
system implementations and service support can and must use this opportunity to
enhance their business from the financial services domain. IT/ITES industry in banking
and financial services sector can enhance the present level of revenue from both on and off
site services related to Basel II compliance. Some of the Indian IT majors like Flexm,
Infosys and wipro are believed to be, in the advanced stage of preparation in terms of
product and services, to embark upon the business opportunities provided by Basel II.

1.4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
• Willaim B. English & William R. Nelson in their article bank risk rating of
business loan, published in 1998 based on federal research survey of 100
banks said that use of risk rating system is quite widespread but smaller bank
generally have less detailed than do larger bank. New survey also allows them
to asses the relationship between loan risk rating & loan term Riskier loan
generally carry higher rate of interest, even after taking account of other term
loan. There are more complex relationship between loan risk & other loan term.
• Marwan Elkhoury in their discussion paper Credit Rating Agencies And Their
Potential Impact on Developing Countries, published in Jan’ 2008 said that
Credit rating agencies (CRAs) play a key rolein financial markets by helping to
reduce the informative asymmetry between lenders and investors, on one side,

16
and issuers on the other side, about the creditworthiness of companies or
countries. CRAs’ role has expanded with financial globalization and has
received an additional boost from Basel II which incorporates the rating of
CRAs into the rules for setting weights for credit risk. Rating tend to be sticky,
lagging markets, and overreact when they do change. This overreaction may
have aggravated financial crises in the recent past, contributing financial
instability and cross-country contagion.
• Tor Jacobson jesper Linde Kasper Roszbach in their paper Credit Risk Versus
Capital requirements under Basel (( : are SME loans and retail credit really
different ? published in 2nd feb’2004 discuss about SME loan & retail credit &
realize that Much of the work done on the differences between the risk
properties of retail, SME and corporate credit has been based on parameterized
model of credit risk. He has used new quantitative evidence on the implied
credit loss distributions for two Swedish banks using aparametric Monte Carlo
re-sampling method following Carey {1998}. He said that that retail credit and
SME loans will receive a special treatment in recognition of the fact that the
riskiness of such exposure treatment in recognition of the fact that the riskiness
of such exposure derives to a greater extent from idiosyncratic risk and much
less from common factor risk.
• Ms. Roopa Kudva, Executive Director and Chief Rating Officer,CRISIL

said that CRISIL bank loan rating mark a new era for use of credit rating by
banks. Hitherto, credit ratings were assigned mostly to capital market
instruments such as debentures, bonds and commercial paper. The use of
CRISIL rating by banks reflects the confidence the market has gained in using
credit rating as an advanced tool for measuring and managing credit risk,
CRISIL expects that Bank Loan Ratings will be a key input for appropriate
pricing of credit risk by banks.”
• Lyn C. Thomas in their article A survey of credit and behavioral Scoring :

forecasting financial risk of lending to consumers, published on 31st may
2000 said that Credit scoring and behavioral scoring are the techniques that help
organizations decide whether or not to grant credit to consumers who apply to
17
them. This article surveys the techniques used-both statistical and operational
research based- to support these decisions. It also discusses the need to
incorporate economic conditions into the scoring systems and the way the
systems could change from estimating the probability of a consumer defaulting
to estimating the profit a consumer will bring to the lending organization-two of
the major developments being attempted in the area. It points out how
successful has been this under-researched area of forecasting risk..
• Barry Eichengreen and Ashoka Mody in their paper Lending booms,

reserves and the sustainability of short-term debt: inferences from the
pricing of syndicated bank loans, published in 28th Aug.’ 2008 analyse that the
determinants of spreads on syndicated bank lending to emerging markets,
treating the loan-extension and pricing decisions as jointly determined.
Compared to the bond market, their findings highlight the role of international
banks in providing credit to smaller borrowers about whom information is least
complete and, more generally, support the interpretation of bank finance as
dominating that segment of international financial markets characterized by the
most pronounced information asymmetries. Domestic lending booms and law
reserves in relation to short-term debt have been priced in the expected
manner by international banks. The high level of short-term debt in East Asia
was supported by high growth rates but was characterized by a knife-edge
quality

Chapter - 2
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
Credit Risk is simply defined as the risk of non payment due to a loan in time. The
service include payment of interest and other charges & repayment of principal account
by installment or otherwise. If these are not paid as & when due credit risk is involved
because the bank loses not only the cost of funds to carry this for a further purpose but
also the profit that would have been earned on simultaneous investment of this amount.
A default therefore reduces the present value of the loan & consequently the value of the
bank’s business. According to prudential norms, a loan assets becomes a sub-standard
asset where there is a two-quarter on interest & installment payment. A substandard asset
immediately entails provisioning for losses. The bank is not entitled to book profit for
unpaid interest.
The technical capacity for business to service its loan is estimated by its debt coverage
ratio or priority obligation ratio.

20
2.1. RATING METHODOLOGY :
The Rating Methodology involves an analysis of industry risk, the issuers business
financial & Management risk. A rating is assigned after assessing all the factors that could
affect the credit worthiness of the entity. Typically industry risk assessment sets the stage
for analyzing more specific company risks factor & establishing the priority of these
factors in the overall evaluation. For instance, if the industry is highly competitive,
careful assessment of the issuer’s market position is stressed. If the company has large
capital requirement, the current information provided by the issuers or facts from reliable
sources.
The main elements for rating methodology for banks/Fls are :-
2.1.1 Business Risk
2.1.2 Industry Risk
2.1.3 Financial Risk
2.1.4 Management Risk
2.1.1 Business Risk

21
This is defined as the inability of the business or project to service its debt in time. This
inability emerge from income generation capacity of the business, which is affected by
the nature of the business or the product it sells, the external economic or market
environment & the internal manufacturing organization & product mix of an enterprise .
if all these variables are in a steady state, the business suffers from no risk. But if any one
of them is not in steady , the business will suffer from volatility.
2.1.2 Industry Risk
It consist of nature & basis competition, key success factors, demand & supply position,
structure of industry, cyclical/seasonal factors, government polices & so on. A lender
should always keep in mind that it is the financially week companies that become
insolvent during the cyclically induced decline of the industry. The incidence of solvency
is also high at the bottom of the boom phase & recovery phase from a recession, because
in the former case, labour cost & interest continue to remain or become high against a fall
in sale & in latter case, & interest continue to remain or become high against a fall in sale
& in latter case, the firms are unable to support a rising demand of their product due to
erosion of capital base during recession. It is important therefore, to capture cyclical trend
in an Industry to evaluate borrowing risk.
Financial Risk
After evaluating the issuer’s competitive position & operating environment, the analyst
proceeds to analyse the financial strength of the issuer. Financial risk is analysed largely
through quantitative means, particularly by using financial ratios. While the past financial
performance of the issuer is important, emphasis is placed on the ability of the issuer to
maintain /improve its future financial performance.
As ratings rely on audited data, the analysis of the audited financial results begins with a
review of accounting quality. The purpose is to determine whether ratios & statistics
derived from financial statements can be used to accurately measure a company’s
performance& its position. Relative to both its peer group & large universe of companies.
Management Risk
A proper assessment of debt protection levels requires an evaluation of the management

philosophies & its strategies. The analyst compares the company’s business strategies &
22
financial plans to provide insights into a management’s abilities with respect to
forecasting & implementing of plans.
TYPES OF BORROWER
There are several types of borrowers, but I have taken only three types of
borrowers for my study. These are :-
1- Traders
2- Contractor
3- SME
2.2.1- Traders
A trader is a person who buys or sells goods. He did not manufacture goods. He
purchases goods from manufacture & sells to retailers. He can be a person who is dealing
in import or export.
2.2.2- Contractor
A person who undertakes to work on contract basis is a contractor. Ex. A person

undertake a contract to prepare a road on certain time period.
2.2.3. SME
The Term ‘ enterprise’ has been defined under section 2 (e) so as to mean any
industrial undertaking or a business concern or any other establishment, by whatever name
called, engaged in production or manufacture of goods, in any manner pertaining to any
industry specified in the first schedule to the industries (development & regulation) Act,
1951 or engaged in providing of rendering of any service of services’.
For the purpose of the Act, any class or classes of enterprises may be classified as micro,
small or medium enterprises by a notification issued in this behalf.

23
The Classification of enterprises as micro, small & medium as envisaged under section 7
(1) & notified vide Min. of SSI Notification No. S.O. 1642 (E) Dt. 29-9-2006 is depicted

CHAPTER -3
WHAT IS LOAN
Lending of funds to the constituents, mainly traders, business & industrial enterprises,
constitutes the main business of the banking company. The major portion of a bank’s
funds is employed by way of loans & advances, which is the most profitable employment
of its funds. The major part bank’s income is earned from interest & discount on the funds
so lent. The business of lending, nevertheless, is not without certain inherent risks. While
lending his funds, a banker, therefore, follow a very cautious policy & conducts his
business on the basis of the well-known principles of sound lending in order to minimize
the risks.
Crop Bank offers a variety of loans to choose from. The various retail loans are given
as ‘Crop Schemes’ highlighting the traditional Crop Bank commitment on giving the

Cash Credit
Cash credit is the main method of lending by banks in India & accounts for
about 70%of total bank credit. Under this system, the banker specifies a limit, called
cash credit limit, for each customer, up to which the customer is permitted to borrow
against the security of tangible assets or guarantees. The customer withdraws from his
cash credit account as & when he needs the funds & deposits any amount of money
Which he finds surplus with him on any day. The cash credit account is thus an active &
running account to which deposits & withdrawals may be affected frequently.
DBC/BDD
DBC/BDD stands for discounted bill purchase facility under which the proceeds of
cheques, bank draft & instruments of such nature like, interest warrants, dividend
warrants, refund orders etc., are credited to an account holder without waiting for
realization of the relative instruments.
Forward Contract-purchase & sale
Forward contract is a contract which affords adequate protection to an exporter or an

importer against exchange risk. Under these contracts, a banker & a customer enter into a
agreement to but or sell a fixed amount of foreign currency on a future specified date at a
26
pre-determined rate of exchange. Exporter for instance sells foreign exchange of specified
amount & currency at a specified future date which assures to but the same amont &
currency at a specified future date which assures to but the same amount & currency at a
predetermined rate which assures him definite availability of foreign exchange.
Import/inland LC cum BG
Letter of commercial credit plays an important role in the trade of the country. In most
cases the exporter are not personally very well aware about the importers In foreign
country. In such cases the exporters bear great risk if they draw bills on the importers,
after dispatching the goods as per their order, because if the importer default in making
the payment, the exporter will suffer heavy loses. To avoid such risk, the exporter ask
the importers to arrange a letter of credit from importer’s bank in favour of the exporter,
informing him that the issuing bank undertakes to accept the bills drawn in respect to
exports made to the foreign buyer specified therein.
Bills of exchange
A bill of exchange is an important instrument widely used in the discharge of business

obligations-both in case of home trade 7 foreign trade. It is generally written by a creditor
on his debtor & is presented to the latter for acceptance, if it is not payable on demand.
After signing his acceptance, the debtor (or the drawee of the bills) is called the acceptor
for payment on the due date. Generally, the accepted bills are discounted by the drawer
with a banker who presents it before the acceptor for payment on the due date. If the
latter fails to make its payment. Bill is treated as dishonored.
CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBP/FDBD
PCL (Packing credit limit) pre shipment means any loan or advance grantedor any other
credit provided by a bank to an exporter for financing the purchase, processing,
manufacturing or packing of goods prior to shipment/ working capital expenses towards

27
rendering of services on the basis of letter of credit opened in his favour or in favour of
some other person, by an overseas buyer or a confirmed & irrevocable order for the
export of goods/services from India or any other evidence of an order for export from
India having been placed on the exporter or some other person, unless lodgment of export
orders or letter of credit with the bank has been waived.
The PCL granted to an exporter may be liquidated out of proceeds of bills drawn for the
exported commodities on its purchase, discount etc. thereby converting pre-shipment
credit into post shipment credit.
Overdraft
When a current account holder is permitted by the banker to draw more than what stands
to his credit, such an advance is called an over draft. The banker may take some
collateral security or may grant such advances on the personal security of the borrower.
The customer is permitted to withdraw the amount as & when he needs it & to repay it by
means of deposit in his account as & when it is feasible for him. Interest is charged on the
exact amount overdrawn by the customer & for the period of its actual utilization.
Bank Guarantee
According to Indian contract Act, 1872, Guarantee is a “contract to perform the promise or
discharge the liability of a third person in case of his default.”
the person who undertakes the above obligation to discharge the liability of a third person
is called the guarantor or the surety. The person in respect of whose default the guarantee
is given is called the principal debtor & person to whom the guarantee.
Term loan
Tern loan is a credit facility granted for the purpose of acquisition of capital assets, such
as purchase of land, construction of building, purchase of machinery, modernization,
renovation and rationalization of plant, furniture & fixtures which is repayable form the
future earning of the enterprise. Hence repayment is mde in installments,as per a
prearranged schedule normally not exceeding 7 years, except in respect of certain

28
approved schemes, where it can go beyond 7 years, vix., Crop rental, infrastructure
lending, projects with long gestation, etc.
3.3 PRINCIPLE OF SOUND LENDING
There are certain principles of bank lending that have been followed by banks since long.
These principles are :-
a) Safety
As the bank lends the funds entrusted to it by the depositors, the first & foremost
principle of lending is to ensure the safety of the funds lent. By safety is mean that
borrower is in a position to repay the loan contract. The repayment of loan depends upon
the :-
a) Borrower’s capacity to pay
b) Borrower’s ability to pay
b) Liquidity
Banks are essentially intermediaries for short tern funds. Therefore, they lend funs for
short periods & mainly for working capital purposes. the loans are therefore largely
payable on demand. The banker must ensure that the borrower is able to repay the loan
on demand or within a short period.
Profitability
The banks must employ their funds profitably so as to earn sufficient income out of
which to pay interest to the depositors, salaries to the staff & to meet vaiours their
establishment expenses & distribute dividends to the shareholders. Banks are free charge
their own rate of interest on advances of above Rs. 21 lakhs. A customer with high
reputation is charged the lower rte of interest as compared to an ordinary customer. The
29
sound principle of lending is not to sacrifice safety or liquidity for the ske of higher
profitability.
The Purpose of the loan
While lending his funds, the banker enquires from the borrower the purpose for which he
seeks loan. Banks do not grant loan for each & every purpose, they ensure the safety &
liquidity of their funds by granting loans for productive purposes only, viz., for meeting
working capital, needs of an enterprise. Loans are not advanced for speculative &
ceremonies or for pleasure tips or for repayment of a prior loan.
The principle of diversifications of Risks
This is also a cardinal principle of sound lending. A prudent banker always tries to
select the borrower very carefully & takes tangible assets as securities to safeguard his
interests. Tangible asset are no doubt valuable yet some risk is involved therein. An
industry or trade may face depressing condition or the natural calamities like floods &
earthquakes, political disturbances in certain part of the country may ruin even a
prosperous business. To safeguard his interest against such unforeseen contingencies. The
banker follow the principle of diversification of risks based on the famous maxim ‘do not
keep all the cggs in one basket’ it means the banker should not grant loans only to big
firms or few industries or in a few cities or regions of the country only. The advance on
the other hand, should be over a reasonably wide area, distributed amongst a good
number of customers belonging to different trades 7 industries.
3.4. HOW REPAYMENT IS DONE ?
a) Cash credit : Repayable on demand
b) DBC/BDD : Repayable is done according to the tenor of the bill.
c) Forward purchase contract :
d) Forward sale contract :
e) Import/ inland LC cum BG :

30
f) Bills of exchange (BE) : According to the tenor of the bill
g) CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBP/FDBD : Repayment should be made within 90 days
h) Overdraft : Repayable on demand
i) Bank guarantee (BG) :
j) Term Loan : Repayable in installment
CHAPTER -4
NPA
4.1. WHAT IS NPA

An asset, including a leased asset, becomes non-performing when it ceases to generate
income for the bank. A “non performing asset” (NPA) was defined as a credit facility in
respect of which the interest &/or installment of principal has remained ‘past due’ for a
specified period of time. The specified period was reduced in a phased manner as under:
Year ending Mar 31 Specified periods

1993 four quarters
1994 three quarters
1995 onwards two quarters
An amount due under any credit facility is treated as ‘past due’ when it has not been paid
within 30 days from the due date. Due to the improvements in the payment & settlement
systems, recovery climate, up gradation of technology in the banking system, etc., it was
decided to dispense with ‘past due’ concept, with effect from mar 31, 2001. Accordingly,
as from that date, a NPA shall be an advance where.
a) Interest &/or instalment of principal of principal remain overdue for a period of

more than 90 days in respect of a term loan.

31
b) The account remains ‘out of order’ for a period of more than 90 days, in respect of
an overdraft/cash credit (OD/CC)
c) The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in case of bills
purchased & discounted.
d) Interest &/or installment of principal of principal remain overdue for two harvest
seasons but for a period not exceeding two half years in the case of an advance
granted for agricultural purposes.
4.2. ASSET CLASSIFICATION
Branches are required to classify non performing assets further into the following three
bases on the period for which the asset has remained non performing & the reliability of
the dues.
4.2.1. Sub Standard Assets- Asset Code B
A Sub Standard asset is one, which has remained NPA for a period of less or equal to
12 months in such cases, the current net worth of the borrower/ guarantor or the current
market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues to the
banks in full.
4.2.2. Doubtful Assets- Asset Code C
An asset is to be classified as doubtful, if it remained NPA for a period exceeding 12

months. A loan is classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses internet in assets that were
classified as sub-standard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses makes
collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currency known facts, conditions & value
highly questionable & improbable.
Doubtful assets are further classified into 3 categories as follows:
Code
a) Doubtful unto 1 year : C1
b) Doubtful from 1 to 3 years : C2
c) Doubtful for more than 3 years : C3

32
4.2.3. Loss Assets – Asset Code D
Loss Asset are considered uncollectible & of such little that their continuance as
bankable assets are not warranted, although there may be some salvage or recovery value.
In such cases loss has been identified by the bank or internal of external auditors or RBI
inspectors abut the amount has not been written off wholly.
4.3. SYMPTOMS OF SICKNESS
(Early Warning Signals of potential NPA Account)
Financial (in bank account)
1. Static outstanding/persistent irregularity in account- outstanding mostly

greater
than drawing power.
2. Defaults in repayments obligations- inability to meet periodic interest/

installments.
3. Lower credit summation in accounts.
4. Development of L/C liabilities/irregular statements, non-moving/slow

moving stock.
5. Frequent request for adhoc limits.
6. Stock statement – Improper/irregular statements, non-moving/slow

moving stock.
7. Raising accommodation bills.
8. Bills/cheques generally dishonored.
9. Sales Transactions not routed via-cash credit A/c.
10. Opening of account with other banks-non compliance of terms &

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

losses/net losses.

33
12. Increase in debt/equity ratio-increase in outstanding borrowing decline in
net profit/sales ration-increase in fixed costs-lack of details age wise
sundry debtors.
At the unit / Factory
Decline in sales turnover, order position delayed, delivery schedule

customer complaints about quality. Low productivity unutilized capacity,
high labour turnover-poor maintenance of machinery, closure of unit.
Loss of Market Credit
Court-cases against unit, inability to raise on usual credit terms.
Operational & Physical
1. Low activity levels in factory & in bank Accounts
2. Disorderly diversification/frequent changes in plans
3. Low inventory movement-Frequent labour troubles
4. Loss of critical important customers-frequent return of finished goods.
Attitudinal Changes
1. Dissension among Partners/promoters
2. Borrowers avoiding contact with bank
3. Non – delayed submission of DATA & financials

34
Others
1. Adverse changes in Government Policies
2. Emergence of new competition/technology-infrastructural bottle –necks-

non-availability of/irregular supply of critical raw material or other inputs-
chronic power shortage
3. Transport bottlenecks.

Traders Contractors SME Total Average Risk
Type of Borrower
ANALYSIS :
We can analysis that traders are having maximum Industry Risk i.e. 7.12 as compared to
Contractor & SME where it is 6.43 & 6.98 because structure of industry, cyclical factors,
government policies etc. are uncertain & unpredictable, so traders have no control over it
as compared to contractor & SME who have little control. Because of this industry Risk,
Repayment can be affected.
SME are having maximum Business Risk as compared to Trader & Contractor because
SMEs are dealing in small & medium Business, they at the same time, are having Risk
both from other SMEs & large Enterprises dealing in same business. And they are small
they do not have large amount of funds to fulfill there losses, if they fails. This will affect
their repayment capacity. They are also having maximum management Risk because what
most of the traders do, they said they are dealing in export (they have all documents

36
proving this) while they are dealing in domestic business only. So if trader is lying that
they are in export business while they are not, they might not able to repay the loan.
Contractors are having more Financial Risk because they work on contract basis, they
don’t have huge pool of resources, they buy the resources at the same time they receive
the contract. So if they fail to fulfill the contract on time & the party cancels the contract,
they might be not in a position to repay the loan.

Analysis:
As far as average risk if Trader is concerned, they are having more management &
industry risk i.e. 28% each because of structure of industry, cyclical factors, government
policies etc. which are uncertain & unpredictable, and Trader have least control over it.
Traders are having maximum control on their financial position, that is why they are
having least financial risk. They are also having control over business position which is
greater than management & industry risk by lesser than financial risk.

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

having competition from both small enterprises & large enterprises. Then comes to
management risk, their percentage is also high. As they are small enterprises, they don’t
have effectively coordinated management. They are also having less financial risk.

But their industry risk in low as compared to management risk i.e. 26%. Their business
risk is 24%, which means that they are having control on business risk but less than
financial risk & more than industry & management risk.

Analysis: TOTAL
According to this table, we can analyse that most of the traders & SMEs prefer to take
Cash credit Limit because under this they can draw upto the prescribed limit & repayment
can be made whenever interest is also determined on the basis of running balance.
However in SMEs, borrowers also prefer to take term loan to finance their fixed Asset. In
Contractor, most of them prefer to take overdraft facility because by this they want to
exceed the limit of their loan. Traders also prefer to take Import LC so they can easily
import something.

Analysis:
We cam analysis that while the number of borrowers on trading category who took
import/inland LC cum BG are lesser than cash credit, the amount are more than cash
credit. So we can say that while the people are not frequently opt for import inland LC
cum BG, but if they opt, they opt for larger amount.
In SMEs, 61.62 crores are land to 12 borrowers while only 45.4 crores of forward
purchase contract, 22.65 of CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBD/FDBP is lended & term loan accounts
for only 50 lakhs. Because as SMEs are not dealing in very high scale they don’t have big

41
amount of Fixed Assets like Plant & machinery, Furniture & Fixture So they largely go for
cash credit to perform their day to day operation smoothly.
In Contractors, the overdraft facility is taken big quantity i.e 4.6 crores as compared to
others.

below 60. We can see that maximum amount of loan. I.e. 201.19 crore aregranted to
SMEs at CB 4 Risk while the minimum amount of loan is granted at CB risk & minumum
in CB 6.

Analysis:
Both Trader & SMEs opt for Cash credit for same purpose i.e. for working capital &
receivable finance. SMEs also opt for inventory finance. Contractors did not opt for Cash
credit. All three types of borrowers took DBC/BDD for receivables finance. Only SMEs
opt for forward purchase & sale contract. Import/inland LC cum BG is taken by both
Trader & SMEs. Bills of exchange & CC-PCL-FDBN/FBBP/FDBD are taken only by
SMEs. Crop Mob is taken by Trader & SMEs for purchase of new car only. No overdraft
facility is taken by SMEs; it is taken by Trader & contractor for Working Capital Needs.
Bank Guarantee is taken by all three borrowers. Term Loan is also taken by all three
borrowers, but it is taken by SME in large quantity.
CHAPTER-5
CONCLUSION

46
Traders
Traders are the one involved in selling and purchasing of goods and services. For this, they
need cash; so that they can purchase goods otherwise their business will collapse. So they take
loan to continue their business effectively & efficiently.
Traders normally do not want long term finance because they are into purchasing & selling, they
don’t want fixed Asset like Plant & Machinery, Furniture & fixture, Land & building etc. The
whole purpose is to act as a mediator between manufacturer & ultimate consumer. For this they
need short term finance to meet their working capital needs & to run their business efficiently.
Traders generally take three types of loan-
1. Cash Credit
2. Inland/Import LC
3. Overdraft
4. BG
1. Cash Credit
Traders need cash credit to meet their Working Capital needs & Receivable needs.
2. Inland/Import LC
Sometimes the exporter or other party are not very well personally aware about the Trader. In
such cases the exporters bear great risk if they draw bills on the importers, after dispatching the
goods as per their order, because if the importer default in making the payment, the exporter will
suffer heavy loses. To avoid such risk, the exporter ask the importers to arrange a letter of credit
from importer’s bank in favour of the exporter, informing him that the issuing bank undertakes to
accept the bills drawn. So Traders ask for this facility.
3. Bank Guarantee

47
Trader want cash to purchase goods or services. If Trader is new in the market, manufacturers
will not agree to lend him the goods on credit. They ask either for cash or the manufacturer, that
bank will make payment, if traders fail to pay.
4. Overdraft
If Trader is having Current Account with bank, they can also asked for overdraft facility
instead of taking new loan. In this bank exceeds the limit of the account & borrower can withdraw
unto that limit.
Contractors
Contractors are the one who works on contract basis. Their contract period can be of 1
month, 2 month, 1 year, 5 year or more depend upon the need of the part giving contract. They
want long term finance once in their long course of business. They only want short term finance.
For this take-
a) Overdraft
b) Bank Guarantee
SME
SME stands for small & medium enterprises. A small enterprise is an enterprise where the
investment in plant & machinery in more than Rs. 25 Lakhs but less than Rs. 5 crores. A medium
Enterprise is an enterprise where investment in plant & machinery is more than 5 crore but less
than Rs. 10 crore. SME is one of the priorities for the bank. Banks deal differently with SMEs.
They even charged lower rate of interest from SMEs.
SMEs from almost 95% of all industrial units in the country. They need loan for both long & short
term purposes.

48
a) Long Term Finance
SMEs needs long term finance to establish their business. For this they take Term Loan.
SMEs need term loan for the purpose of acquisition of capital assets, such as purchase of land,
construction of building, purchase of machinery, modernzation, renovation and rationalization of
plant, furniture & fixtures. This loan will be repaid by the future earning of the firm.
b) Short Term Finance
Apart from loan term finance, SMEs also need funds for short term purpose to continue their
business effectively & efficiently. For this they mainly take Cash Credit. They want Cash credit to
meet their working Capital finance, inventory finance & Receivable Finance.
Apart from Cash Credit, SMEs also take-
i) CC-PCL-FDBN/FDBP/FDBD
ii) DBC/BDD
iii) Forward Purchase Contract
iv) Forward Sale Contract
v) Import/Inland LC
vi) Bank Guarantee
e) Any amount to be received remains overdue for of more than 30 days in respect of other
accounts.
Where any one or more of the stipulated irregularities persist for 90 days then the 91st day is to be
considered as the date of NPA.

BACK-END OPERATION
1.1. PAYMENT SYSTEM : Cheque truncation System (CTS)
Key point :
• Payment systems need to become more efficient and Cheque truncation is a step
in this direction.
• Cheque truncation is the next logical step in Payments system after MICR, ECS,
EFT & RTGS. This would put India on the global map.
• Reasons for Cheque truncation
o Banking becoming more complex & transaction intensive

o Growing share of retail banking
• Cheque truncation will reduce costs for the country as a whole and also reduce
liquidity risks
• Amendments have been made to the IT Act, Negotiable instrument Act and
other legislations to enable implementation of Cheque truncation
• Customers will be the biggest beneficiaries of cheque truncation because of
reduction in time for clearing
• Bank Floats would disappear.
• Data and information collected through the Cheque Truncation system will be
used for reducing frauds.

50
Image based cheque clearing system or Cheque Truncation System (CTS) is a project
undertaken by central banks of many countries such as India (Reserve Bank of India-RBI),
UAE (Central bank), Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia Monitoring Agency-SAMA) ect. For
faster clearing of cheques.
CTS promises to bring multiple benefits to customers by substantially reducing the time
taken to clear the cheques as well as to the banks by enabling them to offer better
customer services and increasing operational efficiency by cutting down on overheads in
physical clearing. In addition, CTS also offers better reconciliation and fraud prevention
CTS uses cheque image, instead of the physical cheque itself, for clearing of the cheque
The cheque image is truncated at the presenting bank. Subsequently, the cheque image
moves through various steps in the cheque-clearing cycle and transactions are settled on
the basis of images and electronic data.
