securities. It tells investors the likelihood of default, or non-payment, by the issuer of its financial obligations.
Credit analysis is the financial analysis used to determine the creditworthiness of an issuer. It examines the
capability of a borrower, or issuer of financial obligations, to repay the amounts owing on schedule or at all.
Credit rating is a tool in the hands of financial intermediaries, such as banks and financial institutions that can
be effectively employed for taking decisions relating to lending and investments. Credit rating is the assessment
of a borrower’s credit quality. Credit ratings performs the function of credit risk evaluation reflecting the
Credit rating establishes a link between risk and return. An investor or any other interested person uses
the rating to assess the risk level and compares the offered rate of return with his expected rate of return.
Establishing the creditworthiness of borrowers is one of the oldest established financial activities known.
Through history, the act of lending funds has been accompanied by an examination of the ability of the
borrower to repay the funds. The most ancient civilizations and societies known to us often show development
of sophisticated trading and banking activities. As modern accounting and finance developed during the
industrial revolution, banking and lending grew to a larger scale and became more systematic.
The analysis of the creditworthiness involves preliminary study of the factors and pre-requisites which can
affect adversely the duly repayment of the credit. It is of high importance that bank specialists demonstrate
competence and conscientiousness. Banks have at their disposal various ways for choosing suitable borrowers
to be financed and for exercising control over the special purpose of the credit resources and their expedient and
efficient spending. Today Banks and NBFC’s use their own credit rating techniques as credit rating agencies
usually done, for appraisal of credit worthiness of borrowers and assessment of total risk.
Credit Rating
Traditional Approach:
There are five criteria (5 C Analysis) that most lenders use to assess a borrower’s creditworthiness:
4 •Checking the reliability of the information, provided by the company applying for a loan
7 •Taking a decision
This concept originated in the US in 1909 AD when the founder of Moody’s Investor Service, John
Moody, rated the US Rail Road Bonds. However, the relevance of this concept was realized only after the great
depression when investors lost all their money. lack of symmetric information and high costs of collecting
information increased the popularity of credit rating. The world’s biggest rating agencies are Moody’s investor
service and Standard and Poor’s(S&P).They have been into the rating business for decades(since 1916).The rating
giants have diversified their service portfolio in order to survive and grow. Besides rating bond issues –their core
rating business-they have diversified into rating asset backed securities, commercial papers, bank loans, and other
financial products.
CARE AAA - Best quality (high investment grade), CARE AA-High quality, CARE A-Adequate Safety, CARE
BBB-Moderate safety, CARE BB- Inadequate safety, CARE B- Risk prone, CARE C-High Risk, and CARE D-

These regulations are called the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Credit Rating Agencies)
Regulations, 1999.
Only commercial Banks, public financial institutions, foreign banks operating in India, foreign credit
rating agencies and companies with a minimum net worth of `.100 crore as per its audited annual accounts
for the previous 5 years are eligible to promote rating agencies in India.
Rating agencies cannot assess financial instruments of their promoters who have more than 10% stake in
them.
Rating agencies cannot rate a security issued by an entity which is a borrower of its promoter or a
subsidiary of its promoter or an associate of its promoter.
Rating agencies cannot rate a security issued by its associate or subsidiary,if the credit rating agency or
the rating committee .
Appraisal of credit worthiness and rating are based on an indepth study of the industry and an evaluation of the
strengths and weakness of the company.The analytical framework for rating consists of the following four broad
areas.

Risk Management
Definition of Risk: The Basel committee has defined the risk as “the probability of the unexpected
happening-the probability of suffering loss”. Risk is a probability of loss, may be direct or indirect. Direct
loss may be relating to loss of capital or earnings whereas indirect loss may be loss of business. Banks
often distinguish between expected loss and unexpected loss. Expected losses are those that the bank
knows with reasonable certainty will occur (e.g., the expected default rate of corporate loan portfolio or
credit card portfolio) and are typically reserved for in some manner. Unexpected losses are those
associated with unforeseen events (e.g. losses experienced by banks in the aftermath of nuclear tests,
Losses due to a sudden down turn in economy or falling interest rates). Banks rely on their capital as a
buffer to absorb such losses.
The four letter ‘Risk’ indicates that risk is an unexpected event or incident, which needs to be identified, measures
monitored and control.
R = Rare (Unexpected)
I = Incident (Outcome)
S = Selection (Identification)
Thus, the risk management is a sum of (1) Risk identification (2) Risk measurement (3) Risk monitoring and (4)
Risk control with a view to maximize Risk Adjusted on Capital Employed = (RAROCE).
During the about last five years period the subject of risk management in banks is gaining momentum with Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision and the Reserve Bank of India prescribing guidelines for implementation of
Risk Management System by banks. While the risk management has a number of potential benefits, it does raise
a number of conceptual and practical challenges. The effectiveness of implementation of the Risk Management
System in different categories of banks operating in India differs from each other because banks are designing
their risk management system keeping in view their own requirements dictated by size and complexity of
business, risk philosophy, market perception and the expected level of capital. The Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision is in the process of implementation of New Capital Accord in near future, which requires substantial
up gradation of the existing Risk Management Systems in banks. The New Accord will have inbuilt provision for
capital incentives for banks having advanced risk management systems and it is imperative on banks to gradually
improve their systems by removing the veil of secrecy.
My project mainly on Credit risk Management and Credit Worthiness/Appraisal. Credit risk is defined as the
possibility of losses associated with diminution in the credit quality of borrowers or counter parties. In a bank’s
portfolio, losses stem from outright default due to inability or unwillingness of a customer or counter party to
meet commitments in relation to lending, trading, settlement and other financial transactions. In the backdrop, it
is imperative that banks have a robust credit risk management system, which is sensitive and responsive to credit
risk factors. Credit risk can be understood as the uncertainty associated with borrower’s loan repayments. Credit
Risk Management encompasses identification, measurement, monitoring and control of the credit risk exposures.

1) MARKET RISK can be defined as the risk of losses in and off balance sheet positions arising from adverse
movement of market variables. Market risk may be relating to
Liquidity Risk: Potential inability of a bank to meet its repayment obligations in a timely and cost effective
manner. Mismatch of deposits and assets.
Interest Rate Risk: Risk due to change in market interest rate, which might adversely affect bank’s
financial position.NIM will reduce. This depends on types of assets such as fixed or floating rate, quantum
etc.
Interest risk of the bank is quantitatively measured by measuring the “Duration Gap” of the bank’s financial
assets.
D=Duration, F=Cash flow, Y=Discount rate, t-Time Period, PV-Present Value of the Security
Duration Gap= Dollar Weighted duration of asset portfolio- Dollar Weighted duration of bank’s liabilities
rate) ^t)] where t=1 to n All the above required fields (cash inflow, time period, discount rate (given by the bankers), to
calculate the duration are available in the Risk Analysis engine which are populated from bank’s MIS .
Foreign exchange Risk: Risk due to upward /downward movement in exchange rate when there is open
position, either spot or forward or both in an individual currency.
Commodity Price Risk: The price fluctuation in commodity, which are changed to the bank as security
etc. by way of hypothecation and /or pledge.
Equity Price Risk: is a loss in value of the bank’s equity investments and or equity derivatives, arising out
of change in equity price, price fluctuation in stock market where bank has invested fund.
2) OPERATIONAL RISK It is a risk relating to direct or indirect losses arising out of inadequate or failure of
people, process, system, business, management and /or external factors.
Operational Loss= Probability of loss event (PE)* Loss given that event (LGE)
3) CREDIT RISK It is a risk of potential loss arising out of inability or unwillingness of a customer or counter
party to meet its commitments in relation to lending. Hedging, settlement and other financial transactions. Thus
credit risk may be relating to;
Credit rating
Credit is considered as core business activity of the banking resulting into profit. Therefore, it is necessary to
increase the credit portfolio and also to mitigate the risk relating to credit.
Credit rating was the very first topic covered by me in the bank. An effective way to mitigate credit risks is to
have a robust rating system in place, which can identify potential risks in a particular asset, allow a bank to
maintain a healthy asset quality and at the same time impart flexibility in pricing assets to meet the required risk
return parameters. A robust credit rating system enables the bank in determining the probability of default and
the severity of default among its loan assets and thus allows the bank to build systems and initiate measures to
maintain its asset quality. Credit risk rating is basically assigned to borrowers based on their ability or willingness
to repay the debt.

Bank of Baroda also has a strong credit rating system. The bank earlier used the AAIPL method i.e M/S Arthur
Anderson (I) P Limited, which was the traditional method. Banks Consultants on Risk Management M/S Arthur
Anderson (I) P Limited has suggested for introducing new credit rating model i.e. CRISIL rating models, for
adapting the current day techniques in credit risk management.
Before introducing the CRISIL rating models for credit risk rating, I want to give a small overview on credit
risk models of all commercial advances.
KMV Model
KMV Corporation has built a credit risk model that uses information on stock prices and the capital structure of
the firm to estimate its default probability. The starting point of this model is the proposition that a firm will
default only if its asset value falls below a certain level (Default Point), which is a function of its liability. It
estimates the asset value of the firm and its asset volatility from the market value of equity and the debt structure
in the option theoretic framework. Using these two values, a metric (Distance from default or DD) is constructed
that represents the number of standard deviation i.e the number of times the firm’s assets value is away from the
default point.. However, this method was successfully commercialized by Moody’s KMV (formerly KMV
Corporation). Finally, a mapping is done between the DD value and the actual default rate, based on the historical
experience. The result probability is called Expected Default Frequency (EDF).
Moody’s KMV uses this theoretical framework to predict default and arrive at the expected default frequency
(EDF) of the firms. The starting point of the analysis is the proposition that when the value of a firm’s assets falls
below a threshold level, the firm defaults.
The EDF is found through the following steps:
• The market value of the assets and the volatility of the assets are derived using option pricing formulae with the
market value of the equity, the book value of the liabilities, and the volatility of the stock as input parameters.
• The expected value of the assets at the horizon and the default point are determined from the firm’s current value
of the assets and the firm’s liability, respectively.
• Using the expected firm value, the default point and the asset volatility, the percentage drop in the firm value is
determined, which would bring the firm to the default point. The number of standard deviations that the asset
value drops to reach the default point is called the distance to default. However, the distance to default is a
normalized ordinal measure of the default likelihood similar to the bond rating. KMV determines the expected
default frequency, which is a cardinal measure, by mapping the ‘distance to default’ to the ‘default rate’, based
on the historical experience of organizations with different ‘distance to default’ values. It is important to note that
the fundamental assumption behind this method is that the market values contain all the relevant information
about the factors, which determine the default probability. That is why no explicit recognition is given to the
differentiating factors like industry, size and economy. Another important thing to note regarding this approach
is that it is not a directly predictive approach unlike most other default prediction models. There is no separate
forecasting algorithm ingrained within the methodology. The predictive power of the model hinges directly on
the assertion that the current value of the firm provides a good prediction on the future value of the firm.
In April 1997, J.P Morgan released the credit metrics technical document that immediately set a new benchmark
in the literature of risk management. This provides a method for estimating the distribution of value of assets in
a portfolio subject to changes in the credit quality of individual borrower. A portfolio consists of different stand
along assets, defined by a stream of future cash flows each asset has over the possible range of future rating class.
Starting from its initial rating, an asset may end in any one of the possible rating categories. Each rating category
has a different credit spread, which will be used to discount the future cash flows. Moreover, the assets are
correlated among themselves depending on the industry they belong to. It is assumed that the asset returns are
normally distributed and change in the asset returns cause the change in rating category in the future. Finally, the
simulation technique is used to estimate the value distribution of the assets.
Credit Risk+
Introduced by Credit Suisse Financial Products, Credit Risk+ is a model of default risk. Each asset has only two
possible ends of period states: Default and Non-default. In the event of default, the lender recovers a fixed
proportion of the total exposure. The default rate is considered as a continuous random variable. It does not try to
estimate the default correlation directly. The default correlation is assumed to be determined by a set of risk
factors. Conditional on these risk factors, default of each obligor follows a Bernoulli distribution. The final step
is to obtain the probability generating function for losses. The losses are entirely determined by the exposure and
recovery rate. Hence, while implementing Basel II, prime focus will be on regulation and risk management. After
March 31st 2007, the banking industry will be ruled by bankers who learn to manage their risks effectively. The
banks may evaluate the utility of these models with suitable modifications to the country specific environment
for fine-tuning the credit risk management. The success of credit risk models impinges on the times series data
on historical loan loss rates and other model variables, spanning multiple credit cycles. Banks may therefore
attempt building adequate database for switching over to credit risk modeling after a specified period of time.
Credit Risk modeling results in a better internal risk management. Banks’ credit exposures typically are spread
across geographical locations and product lines. The use of credit risk models offer banks a framework for
examining this risk in a timely manner, centralizing data on global exposures and analyzing marginal and absolute
contributions to risk. These properties of models may contribute to an improvement in a bank’s overall ability to
identify, measure and manage risk. Credit risk models may provide estimate of credit risk (such as unexpected
loss), which reflect individual portfolio composition; hence they may provide a better reflection of concentration
risk compared to non portfolio approaches. Loan review, administration, and management (LRM) are an inherent
process of credit management among banks. The obvious and more serious banking problems arise due to lax
credit standards, poor portfolio risk management, or a lack of attention to changes in economic, or other
circumstances that lead to a deterioration in the credit standing of a bank’s portfolio. Therefore, the banking
industry has been focusing more attention than ever on risk management. At the same time, banking regulators
from around the world are working out a complicated set of rules for governing global banks accorded in the
Basel II Accord. Many credit problems reveal basic weaknesses in the credit granting and monitoring processes.
While shortcomings in underwriting and management of market-related credit exposures represent important
sources of losses at banks, many credit problems would have been avoided or mitigated by a strong internal credit
process. Many banks find carrying out a thorough credit assessment a substantial challenge. For traditional bank
lending, competitive pressures and the growth of loan syndication techniques create time constraints that interfere
with basic due diligence. Globalization of credit markets increases the need for financial information based on
sound accounting standards and timely macroeconomic and flow of funds data. When this information is not
available or reliable, banks may dispense with financial and economic analysis and support credit decisions with
simple indicators of credit quality, especially if they perceive a need to gain a competitive foothold in a rapidly
growing foreign market. Finally, banks may need new types of information to assess relatively newer borrowers,
such as institutional investors and highly leveraged institutions. Whilst refocusing of credit practices is essential,
certain credit rating models that are being adopted still follow the outdated practices of the past, which focus on
risk avoidance, rather than risk management and if banks seek to continually avoid risk, significant opportunities
will be lost. As a consequence the banks will lose out to more sophisticated competitors. However, banks have
now become more sophisticated in their hedging and pricing of interest rate risk. New modeling methods are
changing the way banks understand and handle credit risk. One has to wait and watch for the implications.
4) Country Risk this risk is the possibility that a country will be unable to service and repay its debts to foreign
lenders in a timely manner. This risk arises due to exchange rate changes,due to restrictions on external remittance,
political risk, cross border risk(on account of borrower being resident of country other than the country where the
asset is booked).
Definition of Risk management : Risk management is the sum of (1) Risk identification (2) Risk measurement
(3) Risk monitoring and (4) Risk control with a view to maximize Risk Adjusted Return on Capital

Need for sound credit appraisal system & accurate risk assessment
The global financial crisis has been hovering for almost two years now. Renowned financial institutions and
corporate have become either bankrupt or had to be rescued. Economic growth has suffered setbacks and
governments in even the wealthiest nations have had to come up with stimulus packages to bail out their
economics, especially their financial systems. The IMF, in its Global Financial Stability Report released in
April, 2009 forecasts that the losses due to global financial turmoil could be no less than $1.4 trillion, two-third
of which will have to be borne by banks. Though most of the losses pertain to the US and Europe, the report
observes that emerging markets risks have risen the most in the last six months. If we speculate the causes
briefly,
We get:-
>Under pricing of risks :increase in subprime mortgages, >High prices lending to oversupply of housing in US,
>Role of credit rating agencies: faulty and inadequate, >Excessive leverage and weak risk-management system,
>Regulatory gaps and lax supervision >Inadequate information about the quality of assets in portfolios
heightened counterparty risk perception and led to extreme risk aversion > Assets held by non-depository
financial instruments (investment banks, hedge funds, etc) being largely financed by short term money market
instruments that could not be rolled over ,
It all started from USA housing crisis (sub-prime crisis). The USA financial institutions went on lending to
people for house construction without bothering to verify their repaying capacity. The houses were pledged with
the financial institutions. When the prices of house properties crashed n the loanees failed to repay the loan, the
financial institutions repossessed the properties but could not sell as prices had crashed. Many financial
institutions went bankrupt. Studies carried out on bank failures in the US show that credit risk alone has
accounted for 71% of large bank failures in this period.
Credit risk is the oldest and biggest risk that a bank due to its nature of business. As banks move into a new
globalised environment for financial operations and trading, with new risks the need is felt for better credit risk
management techniques with more sophisticated and versatile risk instruments for risk assessment, monitoring
and controlling risk exposures.
The credit risk rating can be a risk management tool for prospecting fresh borrowers in addition to
monitoring the weaker parameters and taking remedial action. It also provides a basis for Credit Risk Pricing
i.e. fixation of rate of interest on lending to different borrowers based on their credit risk rating there by
balancing risk &Reward for the bank and it gives the bank to maintain the level of capital in proportion to the
risk of the loan.
Basel capital accord and regulatory capital allocation requirements have also fuelled the demand for better
credit risk measurement. Regulatory impose minimum standards to estimate credit risk for the purpose of
capital allocation and performance measurement of banks .Adoption of sound risk based pricing mechanism and
RAROC(Risk Adjusted Return on Capital)concept for performance evaluation has also enhanced the need of
better credit management practices.

Fund Based Facilities are those where outley of the bank’s funds is involved. Here the bank provides funding
and assistance to actually purchase business assets or to meet business expenses. Fund Based facilities are
facilities are generally granted by the way of overdrafts, Cash credit, Demand loans, Working Capital Term Loans,
Bill purchased/Discounted and Term Loans
Non-Fund Based Facilities are those where the bank has to meet the commitment/promise made by a borrower
and endorsed by the Bank, only if the borrower fails to honour it. Here the bank can issue letters of credit or can
give a guarantee on behalf of the customer to the suppliers, Government Departments for the procurement of
goods and services on credit.
The main types of facilities under fund based and non-fund based and the related guidelines for granting advances
against them are discussed below in brief.
The different fund based credit facilities offered by the bank are as follows:
1. Working Capital Loans: A firm’s working capital is the money it has available to meet current obligations
(those due in less than a year) and to acquire earning assets. The working Capital funding requirements for the
clients are partly made out of the short term funding provided by banks, the balance being funded out of long
term sources of the client. The primary security for working capital limits is normally hypothecation of the current
assets of the company. The bank offers Working Capital finance to meet the operating expenses, purchasing
inventory, receivables financing, either by direct funding or by issuing letter of credit.
2. Overdraft and Cash credit: In overdraft/cash credit, the borrower is allowed to carry out debit and credit
transactions up to a limit. These are more operative accounts and have cheque book facility. The term “overdraft”
is generally used for continuing limits granted against the security of term deposits and other financial securities,
occasional overdrawing /debits in current accounts and also for continuing limits granted for working capital
requirements of commercial establishments. Cash credit /overdraft limits are repayable on demand.
3. Export Finance: According to RBI guidelines, the banks are required to provide loans to exporters at
concessional rates of interest as advised by RBI from time to time, for promoting export from our country. The
export credit / finance is provided by the bank in Rupees as well as foreign currencies for pre-shipment and post-
shipment requirement of the exporters. Pre –shipment facilities are extended against export orders and post
shipment facilities are extended by way of bill discounting and bill purchase.
4. Term Finance: Term finance/loans are primarily provided by bank for capital expenditure/acquisition of fixed
assets for starting / expanding a business or industrial unit. These loans are typically secured by the real and
personal property financed by the bank as well as other assets of the borrower. They are repayable by specific
number of installments spread over a period of 3 to 5 years or some times more.
5. Bill Finance: In order to ease the pressures on cash flow and facilitate smooth running of business, the bank
provides Bill Finance to its corporate / non corporate clients. It is normally meant for financing working capital
requirements in the post-sale part of the operating cycle of a unit. The facilities are for purchasing / discounting
bills drawn by the customer for goods sold.
6. Demand Loans: As the name suggests, are repayable on demand. They are also at times referred to as loans.
Though technically repayable on demand, a repayment of the loan in installments spread over a period up to 3
years or so is generally stipulated. Composite loans given for working capital and for fixed assets as also the loans
for fixed assets where repayment period is stipulated up to 3 years are generally granted by the way of Demand
loans.
The two main types of non fund facilities are Letter of Credit and Bank Guarantees the details of which are given
as follows:
1. Letter of Credit: LC (letter of credit) is an arrangement where a bank, acting on the request of the customer
(importer/opener of letter of credit), gives an undertaking to a third party (exporter/beneficiary of the letter of
credit) that on submitting the shipping documents (drafts, invoices, insurance policy, bill of landing), the bank
will meet the trader’s commitment. In international trade, given the fact that the local trader might not be known
to the foreign supplier, such assurance from a bank facilitates the business.
2. Bank Guarantees: Issuing guarantees on behalf of customers is a major non-fund based business of banks. A
guarantee is a contract to perform the promise or discharge the liability of a third person in case of his/her default.
It constitutes a contingent liability that arises in the event of default by the customer.
Key benefits of Working capital finance (ANNEXURE-I shows the interest rate applicable for working capital
finance):
Funded facilities i.e. the bank provides funding and assistance to actually business assets or to meet
business expenses.
Non funded facilities i.e. the bank can issue letters of credit or can give a guarantee on behalf of the
customer to the suppliers, govt. departments for the procurement of goods and services on credit.
Available in both Indian as well as foreign currencies.
Under term finance Bank of Baroda offers the following: (ANNEXTURE- II shows the interest rate applicable
for term loan finance)
>Fund based finance for capital expenditure/acquisition of fixed assets towards starting/expanding a business
or industrial unit or to swap with high cost existing debt from other bank / financial institution.
> Non fund based finance in the form of deferred payment, guarantee for acquisition of fixed assets towards
starting / expanding unit.
Under Project finance BOB provides its customers with the option of a loan to take care of the needs of an
ongoing project, whether it is in Indian or Foreign currency.

Risk
The obligor (borrower) rating is indicative of creditworthiness of an obligor or the probability of default (PD) and
it is based on the assessment of past and projected cash flows of the company. For assessment of an obligor, the
rating structure consists of evaluation by way of four modules:
a) Industry Risk: The assessment of this module which is external to the Borrower and is done by assessment
of industry related macroeconomic parameters applicable to the specific industry and having different risk
weights.
b) Business Risk: The assessment of this module is based on internal working of the borrower and relates to
parameters such as after sales service, distribution set up, capacity utilization etc. The parameters which are only
relevant to a particular industry, are selected for scoring having different risk weights.
c) Financial Risk: The assessment of this module is based on internal working of the borrower and relates to
parameters such as past (not in case of a green field / infrastructure company under implementation stage) and
projected financials .The CMA based data input sheet is uploaded into the software and the same allows
computation of financial rating automatically based on the computation of financial ratios like net profit margin,
current ratio, DSCR, interest coverage etc.
d) Management Quality: The assessment of this module is based on internal working of the Borrowers
management and relates to parameters such as past repayment record, quality of information submitted, group
support etc.
However depending upon the model used, the rating grades ranging from BOB-1 to BOB-10 or BOB-3 to BOB-
10 or BOB-6 to BOB-10 are generated as follows:
projects categories
Category.
The detailed score- wise pattern for various Obligor (Borrower) Ratings under above stated models are given in
ANNEXURE-I.
2. FACILITY RATING:
Facility rating involves assessment of the security coverage for a given facility and indicates the loss
given default (LGD) for a particular facility. Facilities proposed/sanctioned to a company are assessed
separately under this dimension of rating.
Facility Rating (FR) Grades: Facility Rating grades range from FR-1 to FR-8 (ANNEXURE-II)
3. COMPOSITE RATING:
Composite Rating(CR)- this is the matrix or the combination of PD and LGD; indicates the expected
loss in case the facility is defaulted. The Composite rating is worked out automatically by the software based on
the obligor (Borrower) Grade (BOB Rating) and Facility Rating grade(FR).
Composite Rating grades: CR grade ranges from CR-1 to CR-10 (ANNEXTURE-III)
b) For borrowers /obligors eligible for rating under SME(manufacturing) / SME (service) and Traders
Models in case of existing borrowers :
The past financial data for these categories of borrowers are usually available. The acceptance grade for
these borrowers can be any grade ranging from BOB-3 to BOB-6.BOB-6 is having the score range of above
5.00 to 5.75 out of total 10.00 for these categories of borrowers. It may be noted that for these category of
borrowers, the highest creditworthiness works out to be BOB-3. (ANNEXTURE-V)
c) Obligors (borrowers) with new projects eligible for rating under infrastructure (build phase)/ and Green
Field projects(LCM/SME):
The past financial performances data in respect of these categories of borrowers are not available and
only future projections are available. These borrowers are initially rated under Project Risk rating and
assigned rating grades from BOBPR-1 to BOBPR-5 and subsequently converted into common
obligor(Borrower) rating grade from BOB-6 to BOB-10 automatically. Thus BOBPR-1 is equivalent to
BOB-6 and BOBPR-5 is equivalent to BOB-10.In other words ,BOBPR-1 under project rating is the
only investment grade being equivalent to obligor/Borrowers rating scale of BOB-6 applicable scenario
for these categories of borrowers are as follows:
5. PRICING:
The composite rating or the combined rating(CR-1 to CR-10) is computed on the basis of matrix of obligor
rating for credit worthiness and the facility rating representing the expected loss in case of default. This loss has
to be recovered from the borrower by way of risk premium over the BPLR. For the purpose of fixing of rate of
interest the mapping of existing (AAIPL models) rating grades with the BOBRAM / CRISIL Rating Models is as
under:-
Step2: Datasheet preparation (off line model): Having selected one of the applicable models for rating purpose,
only the prescribed CMA data based input sheet and/or project profitability data input sheet and /or project
profitability data input sheet downloaded from bank’s Intranet or provided through CD during the training is to
be used. The sheet is to be filled by credit officers in the offline mode after the due –diligence of the CMA/project
financials by the appropriate authority. We have to note that the prescribed input sheet has to be used for the
purpose of data entry and subsequent uploading during the rating process.
Step 7: Validation
The validator has to comply the following steps:
The validator is required to validate the credit risk rating based on the financial data(audited and
provisional) and other relevant records, which have been used during the credit risk rating process by
the rating officer. However all the proposals falling under the power of branch manager are to be
validated at the regional office or the reporting authority level as the case may be.
After due validation, the validator is required to take three hard copy printouts of the “interim company
report” and send one copy to the credit rating officer, the other copy to sanctioning authority and third
must be kept on records
Validator is required to submit the validated credit rating report to appropriate sanctioning authority
through the system.
8. Submission of validated credit risk rating report and other MIS reports to the sanctioning authority
The sanctioning authority has no role during the process of credit rating also during the process of validation.
After the completion of validation process, the concerned credit officer at the office of sanctioning authority will
receive the hard copy of the validated rating from the validator and also a soft copy through the system. A copy
of the validated rating report is to be attached to the proposal.
The following reports could also be generated through the system:
Company comparison report
Financial reports (all levels) via CMA financials, project financials, ratios
MIS reports like ASCORM industry wise, borrower group wise etc. as desired by the authority
Strength and weakness report.

Term loan proposal and appraisal:-Term loan are those loans which are payable within a period of more
than one year and up to ten years. It is availed for acquisition of fixed assets i.e. land, factory building, warehouse,
machineries etc. these are financed by way of term loan which is paid by the borrower in concern out of the profits
earned. The schedule of repayment and duration of loan are fixed on the basis of assessed ability of the
undertaking to generate surpluses for making repayment.
There are five sections which are duly considered while considering the proposal. They are:
In this section, there is a detailed proposal for fresh consideration of term loan, further extension of term loan
with any decrease or increase in the fund based and nonfund based limits. or any concession in upfront fees and
also mentioned about the details of the applicant company, details of the project, details of the personal guarantees
of the directors, details of the securities, previous rating done by the bank. etc. (ANNEXURE IV)
The financial performance is checked on the basis of balance sheet for last two years and projected next two years.
Also the profit and loss account provides with the operational data. There are also working capital assessment
data, assessment of sales, different profitability ratios are available.(ANNEXURE V)
The term “Working Capital” denotes requirement of capital sum or amount of money business enterprises for
day to day activities like purchase of raw materials, stores and spares, payment of wages to employee, payment
of other expenses like energy, fuel, water consumption rates and taxes, carriage expenses.
The bank normally define the working capital as the sum total of inventory, receivables and other current assets
held by the business entity. It is computed by the banks through the concept of operating cycle i.e.it is taken by
the business entity to get the money released from its current assets.
1. Tandon committee/Chore committee: A committee headed by Shri P L Tandon was constituted with a view
to suggest improvement in the existing cash credit system. The committee has recommended three methods of
lending:
1st method of lending:- According to this method, banks would finance 75% of working capital gap i.e.CA-
CL
2nd method of lending:- According to this method ,banks would finance maximum up to 75% of the total
CA.
3rd method of lending:- It is the same as 2nd method, but excluding core CA from total assets and the core
assets is financed out of long term funds.
2. Nayak Committee/Turnover Method: The committee headed by Shri P R Nayak examined the adequacy of
institutional credit to SSI sector and gave its recommendation which is that bank should give preference to village,
tiny industries and other SSI units in that order. Under this method the 25% of the projected turnover is computed
as the working capital and out of this 25% the borrower needs to bring in 5% as margin.
3. Cash Budget System: By projecting future cash receipts and disbursements, the cash budget enables the
corporate to determine its cash needs. This method shall be followed in Sugar, Tea, Woolen garments industry
and other seasonal industries.
It indicates the overall environment in which the industry is operating. In industry profile various parameters on

assigned and remarks are written.
After a Credit Rating report is generated, the loan proposal is sent for TEV analysis. In TEV analysis the project
report submitted by the borrower is thoroughly studied by the industry manager. The TEV analysis either done
internally by the officers in the bank or it can be done externally also through some hired agency. In this analysis
each and every aspect of the proposal is verified and necessary documents are gathered. In case of Green-Field
or Brown-Field project the representative of the bank personally visits the site of the project and verifies the
details, according to the proposal submitted by the borrower. After going through the above mentioned process
the bank prepares a TEV analysis according to its prescribed format.

is a very important part of TEV analysis because based on this information the decision of whether to sanction
the loan or not depends
If the TEV study is satisfactory then the project is approved as technically sound and financially viable. Based on
this study any further processing of the sanction of the term loan takes place.
If the credit rating is good and the techno-economic viability report is also favourable then the loan proposal is
sent to the sanctioning officer for the loan to be sanctioned. It is the sanctioning officer who also after some
evaluation finally sanctions the loan amount.

CHAPTER - IV
Comparison between Credit Risk Assessment prevalent in different Banks: In the lending operations , the
banks are primarily exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the failure of any
party to abide by the terms and conditions of any financial contract with the banks, principally the failure to make
the required payments on loans due to the bank. Various banks have a structured and standardized credit approval
process, which includes a well established procedure of comprehensive credit appraisal. In this context the
comparison of the credit risk assessment prevalent in different banks (PSB/Pvt banks/ Foreign Banks) are given
below:
Bank of India
The bank’s board had already approved the following credit risk models, developed by ICRA to rationalize the
cost of credit to SME sector by adopting a transparent rating system. The entry level requirements prescribed in
this new model would be applicable:
a) Large Corporate Model (Domestic/ ECBs/Syndicated Loans) (Fund/Nonfund based limits of Rs.500 Lakhs and
above or turnover Rs.5000 lakhs);
b) Mid segment Model (Fund/ Nonfundbased limits of Rs.100 lakhs and above not exceeding Rs.500 lakhs and
turnover below Rs. 5000 Lakhs);
c) SBS/SSI model (Fund/ Nonfund Based limits of Rs.10 lakhs and above but not exceeding Rs.100 lakhs) scoring
model);
The bank had already adopted rating models a & c above.The model for amounts between Rs.1 crore and Rs.5
crore is under the process of rollout.
Allahabad Bank
The rating of account may be done under In-House Module or Rating from outside rating Agencies.
Allahabad Bank has entered into MOU with CRISIL,ONICRA and SMERA, for getting the SME borrowers rated
by them.
Axis Bank
The Board of Directors establishes the parameters for risk appetite, which is defined quantitatively and
qualitatively in accordance with the laid down strategic business plan.This is dovetailed in the process through a
combination of governance structures and credit risk policies, control processes and credit systems embedded in
a Credit Risk Management Framework (CRMF) .The foundation of CRMF rests on the rating tool. The bank has
put in Place the following hierarchical committee structure for credit sanction and review:
Zonal office Credit Committee (ZOCC)
Central Office Credit Committee (COCC)
Committee of Executives (COE)
Senior Management Committee (SME)
Committee of Directors (COD)
The bank has developed different rating models for each segment that has distinct risk characteristics viz. Large
corporate , MSME, small traders, Financial companies, Micro finance institutions ,project finance etc.

Comments:
Every bank more or less is using the credit rating system associated with external credit rating agencies. ICICI
bank divides the responsibility of loan appraisal process among several departments which are more time
consuming but less prone to default. Every bank emphasizes on the financial position of the borrower by analyzing
the quality of its financial statements, its past financial performance , its financial flexibility in terms of ability
to raise capital and its cash flow adequacy, the borrower’s relative market position and operating efficiency .In
comparison with other banks, BOB separately measures the risk factors dividing into different segments which
are highly justified and appropriate.BOB are holding the advance position in earnings per share other than three
banks, that means the market value of BOB share will be high and attractive to the investors. As BOB’s growth
in advances and deposits are good besides with CAR ratio 14.36% that means that BOB are utilizing the capital
most effectively and efficiently in comparison with other banks. The growth in advances of Axis bank and IDBI
bank are good than BOB. There is a huge difference in growth in deposits between IDBI bank and BOB.Net NPA
to Net Advances of BOB are very good in comparison with other banks .From the annual reports of BOB we can
see that this ratio are gradually decreasing that means the BOB NPA recovery Dept. are performing exceptionally
well and from provision coverage ratio we can see that BOB are maintaining 74% that means bank’s strategy is
not to increase the NPA and not to hamper the financial position in case NPA happens.
CHAPTER - V
Risk Management
NPA Management
Basel Guidelines
NPA management: Credit risk management is not NPA management. It is much more than that. NPA
management is largely recovery management. It is a situation when default has already taken place. On the other
hand credit risk management I concerned more with the quality of credit portfolio before default rather than in
the post default situation. Credit risk management mainly consists of:
NPA management is the abbreviated form of management of Non Performing Assets, has become a critical
Performance area for all the public sector banks. Following are the major reasons for borrowal accounting turning
out eventually into non performing assets:
Tardy judicial process > Internal and external diversion of loans funds by the promoters > Time and cost
over runs in project implementation > shortage of raw materials > Power shortage > Change in Govt.
policies like liberalized imports with lesser incidence of customs duties etc > poor recovery of receivables
especially by SSI units with respect to the dues from public sector >Industrial Recession >Failure of the
corporate to raise debt / equity from the market , to support bank debt > Business failures >Dishonest
management
PROVISIONING NORMS:
Sub standard Assets A general provision of 10% on total outstanding should be made
without making any allowance for ECGC and value of security.Any
unsecured portion of sub standard advances will attract additional
provision of 10% on outstanding
Period for which the advances has Provision Requirement (%)
remained in ‘Doubtful’ category
Up to 1 year 20
1 to 3 years 30
More than 3 years 100
Loss assets 100% of outstanding amount
Risk adjusted Assets- means degree of credit risk expressed as % weightage have been assigned to balance sheet
and off balance sheet items. Value of each asset is to be multiplied with this weighted will produce risk adjusted
value of balance sheet and off balance sheet items.RBI has assigned degree of risk to each of the assets of the
bank. Broadly it is as under:
>Cash and bank balance with RBI 0% >with other banks 20 % >Govt. approved securities 2.5% >Secured
loan to staff 20 % >Housing finance to individual 75% (for outstanding upto Rs. 20 Lacs 50%) > Capital
market exposure 125% > Commercial Real Estate 150%
Follow up of Advances: The followup of advances Is a small activities starting from the date of disbursement
to the date of recovery of last installment/ amount:
The important objectives of follow-up of credit facilities:
1. To ensure proper end use of funds. Funds should be used for the purpose, for which these are given.It should
not be used for any other purpose.
2. To ensure that the operations of the borrower are on expected lines both physically and financially,
3. To test the assumptions of lending .Advances is granted on the basis of projections. All projections depend on
bundle of assumptions. Many of such assumptions can and do wrong .Actual working only shows whether the
assumptions have proved correct or not. Most important are capacity utilization, costs incurred, price level.
Market conditions etc.
4. To ensure that the terms and conditions are satisfied .While sanctioning the advances, bank stipulates certain
conditions to be satisfied, such as restrictions on declaration of dividend, expansion in capacity , or acquisition of
fixed assets, repayment of private borrowings etc.
5. To ensure that the securities offered / charged are and continue to be in order .Physical existence , valuation,
quality turnover etc. are important.
6. to detect whether any danger signals are developing indicating sickness. Many a time warning signals are
thrown up indicating the existence/ emergence of a problem situation. Proper follow up action only can take care
of the situation.
7. To see whether there is any change in management structure, reconstitution, death or resignation of a key
person leading to the possible failure of the firm,
8. To examine whether there is any change in the environment affecting the unit, like Govt. policies, Economic
situations, crop failures etc.
9. To evaluate the operations of the borrower in a constructive way and to advise/ devise measures for correction/
improvement etc. This will require a total study of the operations, results and trends of the borrower.
10. To formulate future programme / lines of action in the light of the operational results or records.
11. To anticipate problems and reorient plans of action in order to contain such problems effectively. This requires
the banker to take a futureistic view of things and advise the borrower suitably.
Willful Defaulter:
Based on recommendations of working group on willful defaulter RBI has w.e.f. Mar 2002 instructed
as under: The willful Defaulter will broadly cover-
1. A Borrower who is having adequate resources/ cash flow/ net worth to pay out the dues but deliberately
not paying the dues,
2. Siphoning of the funds to the detriment of defaulting unit,
3. Non creation of the assets, disposal or misutilization of assets financed, without the knowledge of the bank,
4. Misrepresentation or falsification of records,
5. Fraudulent transactions by the borrower,
6. Where companies within the group has been issued guarantee in favour of the defaulting unit and guarantees
are not honoured when invoked , the group will be called willful defaulter,
7. Diversion of the fund to subsidiaries and associate company.This includes routine of fund through another
bank other than lending bankers, deploying fund for creation of other assets.
1. Banks have been advised to devise one time settlement schemes for resolution of NPAs. As per this scheme ,
for NPA upto Rs. 10 crore the minimum amount that should be recovered should be 100 percent of the outstanding
balance in that account.For NPAs over 10 crore the CMDs of the respective banks should personally supervise
the settlement of NPAs on a case to case basis.
2.Lok Adalats help banks to settle disputes involving accounts in “doubtful “ and ‘ loss’ category with an
outstanding balance of Rs. 5 lakh.
3. Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRTs) were set up under the Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial
Institutions Act,1993.DRTs have been empowered to decide on cases of advances of Rs. 10 lakh and above.
4. Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) applies to outstanding multiple banking accounts / consortium accounts
of Rs.20 crore and above. Restructuring of debt through financial restructuring, Business restructuring and
operational restructuring.
5. The Govt. enacted SARFAESI Act, 2002 for enforcement of security interest for realisation of dues without
the intervention of courts or tribunals.This act enables to strengthen the creditors right of recovery, , speedy NPA
recovery, bringing down the level of risk in the system and to empower ARCs (Asset Reconstruction Company)
.Benefits of sale of NPAs to ARCs are
> enable banks/ FIs to remove NPAs from the loan books > to enable banks/ FIs to focus on their core activities
>fuster implementation of resolution strategy by ARCs >Reduces expenditure of banks/ FIs on NPA maintenance.

3 PILLARS OF
BASEL II
use of a bank’s internal credit risk ratings to calculate the minimum regulatory capital it would need to set aside
for credit risk. Called the internal ratings based approach It links capital adequacy to the assets in a bank’s books.
Compared to capital allocation based on the standardized approach (including the one-size fits all old version),
the IRB regime is likely to make regulatory capital more consistent with economic capital (the capital required
by a bank to cover unexpected losses, as an insurance against insolvency). This is likely to reduce the amount of
regulatory capital banks will be required to set against credit risk inherent transactions and portfolios. Based on
its risk assessment, a bank will slot the exposure within a given grade. There must be enough credit grades in a
bank’s internal ratings system to achieve a fine distinction of the default risk of the various counter-parties.
A risk rating system must have a minimum of six to nine grades for performing borrowers and a minimum of
two grades for non-performing borrowers. More granularity can enhance a bank’s ability to analyse its portfolio
risk position, more appropriately price low-risk borrowers in the highly competitive corporate lending market and
importantly, prudently allocate risk capital to the non-investment grade assets where the range of default rates is
of a large magnitude. The credit risk of an exposure over a given horizon involves the probability of default (PD)
and the fraction of the exposure value that is likely to be lost in t he event of default or loss given default (LGD).
While the PD is associated with the borrower, the LGD depends on the structure of the facility. The product of
PD and LGD is the Expected Loss (EL). Risk tends to increase non-linearly – default rates are low for the least
risky grades but rise rapidly as the grade worsens – an A grade corporate will have a less probability of defaulting
within one year, while the next rated (BBB) borrower will have higher probability of defaulting, which may
further be higher for a CCC rated borrower. The probability of default is what defines the objective risk
characteristics of the rating. A bank’s rating system must have two dimensions. The first must be oriented to the
risk of the borrower default. The second dimension will take into account transaction specific factors. This
requirement may be taken care of by a facility rating which factors in borrower and transaction characteristics or
by an explicit quantifiable LGD rating dimension.
For the purpose, banks will need to estimate facility-specific LGD by capturing data on historical recoveries
effected by them in the various assets that have default. The recoveries will have to be adjusted for all expenses
incurred and discounted to the present value at the time the corporate default. Clarity and consistency in the
implementation of the bank-wide rating system is integral to a bank to relate its credit scores to objective loss
statistics and convince the regulator that its internal rating system is suitable for calculating regulatory capital.
Human judgment is central to the assignment of a rating. Banks, therefore, should design the operating flow of
the process towards promoting accuracy and consistency of ratings, without hindering the exercise of judgment.
While designing the operating framework, banks should include the organizational division of responsibility of
rating the nature of reviews to detect errors and inconsistencies, the location of ultimate authority over rating
assignment, the role of models in the rating process and the specificity of rating definitions. Banks must have a
mechanism of bank testing the rating system and the loss characteristics of their internal ratings. This is essential
to evaluate the accuracy and consistency of the rating criteria, accurately price assets and analyse profitability and
performance of the portfolio, monitor the structure and migration of the loan portfolio and provide an input to
credit risk models and economic capital allocation process. The PD will allow the back testing of bank’s rating
system by comparing the actual default performance of entities in a particular grade to the rate of default predicted
by the bank rating. Back testing against internal data and benchmarking the performance of the internals ratings
system against external rating systems will be a key part of the general verification process.
There are certain limitations, however, in using such an external mapping. First, would be the significant
difference in the quality and composition of the population of corporate rated by rating agencies and those in a
bank’s portfolio. Second, would be the time lag in which the agencies would be putting out their data on default
probabilities/migration frequencies – with this time lag there is a likelihood that the adverse changes in default
probabilities is factored into the rating system well after a recession in the economy. Third, there would be
potential inconsistencies in mapping a point-in-time rating with a Through-the-cycle rating fourth, statistics
available relate to developed markets and emerging markets and do not reflect representation of varying degree
of economic reforms and globalization.
Any improved internal risk internal rating system will need to have operational for some time before either the
bank or the regulators can amass data needed to back test the system and gain confidence in it. The Basel paper
on the IRB approach states that bank will be required to collect and store substantial historical data on borrower
default, rating decisions, rating histories, rating migration, information used to assign the ratings, the model that
assigned the ratings, PD histories, key borrower characteristics and facility information. Banks seeking eligibility
for the IRB approach should move to develop and warehouse their own historical loss experience data. Although
data constraints remain a challenge and data collection is costly, many banks have recognized its importance and
have begun projects to build databases of loan characteristics and loss experience. The internal rating of a bank
is not just a tool for judicious selection of credit at business unit level. Thanks to rapid developments taking place
worldwide in a risk management practices, internal ratings are being put to uses that are more progressive. Internal
ratings are used as a basis for economic capital allocation decision at the portfolio level and the individual asset
level. Having allocated this capital and in vie of the average risk of default assumed by the bank, the bank needs
to appropriately price the asset to compensate for the risk through a risk premium and also generate the required
shareholder return on the economic capital at stake. Construction and validation of a robust internal credit risk
rating system is just the first step toward sophisticated credit risk management. For an ambitious bank, the bank
the IRB approach promoted by Basel will form the platform for the risk management measures that are more
sophisticated such as risk based performance measurement.
Drivers of effective credit risk management:
Basel II was highlighted as one of the main drivers in shaping the banks’ approach to credit risk management. It
imposes disciplinary capital charges for procedural errors, limit violations and other operational risks. It also
creates new pressures to ensure that effective credit risk management controls are in place. A leading investment
bank, for example, commented that regulations drive its credit risk management procedures. The bank is forced
to provide more detailed disclosures in its annual reports. These may include
information on its strategies, nature of credit risk in its activities and how credit risk arises in those activities,
as well as information on how it manages credit risk. Basel II will affect a number of key elements in another
European bank, including a more rigorous assessment of the bank’s credit risk appetite, more technical approach
toward its counterparties and better portfolio risk management. Another bank mentioned that the impact of Basel
II is largely dependent on the environment it is regulated under, as it is different for each region. In one U.S. bank,
regulatory pressures raise the status of the risk group, while in another, these pressures can distract from strategic
business projects. While regulatory compliance is indeed a significant driver, most banks’ credit risk management
aspirations span beyond this. Key players also seek to gain competitive advantage through effective credit risk
management. The objective of best practices in credit risk management is to provide comprehensive guidance to
better address credit risk management. The findings from Lepus' survey illustrate that credit risk management
practices differ among banks, as they are dependent upon the nature and complexity of an individual bank’s credit
activities. Sound practices should generally address the following areas:
1) Establishing an appropriate credit risk environment.
2) Operating under a sound credit-granting process.
3) Maintaining an appropriate credit administration, measurement and monitoring process.
4) Ensuring adequate controls over credit risk. The feedback from banks demonstrates that centralization,
standardization, consolidation, timeliness, active portfolio management and efficient tools for exposures are the
key best practice in credit risk management. A Tier One American bank is considering having more efficient tools
for “what if” analysis and tools to provide transparency to the business. This is particularly important for
counterparty exposure at a firm wide level. Another U.S. institution is focusing on stress testing, concentration
risk, macro hedges and capital risk market management. Moreover, the firm has consolidated market risk and
credit risk. In 25 percent of the interviewed banks, achieving best practice involves having an active portfolio
management in the lending book along with real-time credit risk management. A leading investment bank
identifies best practice as having good quality data, for example, identifying processes that induce data errors.
Timeliness is another contributing factor. Real-time pre-deal checking, effective credit limits management and
country risk management are key to good credit risk practice at another bank. However, this is largely dependent
on the market the bank is targeting.
Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is basically responsible for the management of Market
Risk and Balance Sheet Management. It has the responsibility of managing deposit rates, lending rates, spreads,
transfer pricing, etc in line with the guidelines of Reserve Bank of India. It also plans out strategies to meet asst-
liability mismatches. Credit Policy Committee (CPC) has the responsibility to formulate and implement various
enterprise-wide credit risk strategies including lending policies and also to monitor Bank’s credit risk
management functions on a regular basis. Operational Risk Management Committee (ORMC) has the
responsibility of mitigation of operational risk by creation and maintenance of an explicit operational risk
management process.
Risk management policy: The Bank has Board approved policies and procedures in place to measure, manage
and mitigate various risks that the Bank is exposed to. In order to provide ready reference and guidance to the
various functionaries of the Risk Management System in the Bank, the Bank has in place Asset Liability
Management and Group Risk Policy, Domestic Loan Policy, Mid Office Policy, Off Balance Sheet Exposure
Policy (domestic), Business Continuity Planning Policy, Pillar III Disclosure Policy, Stress Test Policy and Stress
Test Framework, Operational Risk Management Policy, Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP),
Credit Risk Mitigation and Collateral Management Policy duly approved by the Board.
In compliance with the Pillar–II guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India under Basel II framework, the Bank
formulated its Policy of Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) to assess internal capital in
relation to various risks the Bank is exposed to. Stress Testing and scenario analysis are used to assess the financial
and management capability of the Bank to continue to operate effectively under exceptional but plausible
conditions. Such conditions may arise from economic, legal, political, environmental and social factors The Bank
has a Board approved Stress Testing Policy describing various techniques used to gauge their potential
vulnerability and the Bank’s capacity to sustain such vulnerability. The Bank conducted its ICAAP tests on
semiannual frequency along with stress tests as per the ICAAP Policy of the Bank.
Comments
In BOB-1 category there is a increasing trend right from the beginning. There is a sharp decline in
BOB-3 category after January,2010.The low risk category have got their highest point after a momentum growth
in January,2010.The outstanding amount in BOB-2 category has also declining trend in 2010.
The outstanding amount of loan in the medium risk category has increased for BOB-4 category from
October 09 to January 2010 and then a sharp decline is noticed. In BOB-5 category there is a sharp increase from
Jan 10 till march,10. BOB-6 category has a slight increase in the exposure.
There has been a lesser amount of exposure in the high risk category.Only BOB-7 has some
negligible amount of outstanding.

Comments
Wholesale sector holds the maximum net advances. The net advances of BoB have increased till
2009.But then there is a decline. On an average wholesale sector holds 76%, SME holds 18% and other holds the
rest 6% of total net advances.
Limitations:
1) Less time duration: It is very difficult to get knowledge about such an important and huge domain of banking
sector in two months.
2) Conservativeness: From the bank’s perspective, sometimes it is very difficult to get the data and information
due to the maintenance of the secrecy of the customers profile and Bank itself.
Risk management activities will be more pronounced in future banking because of liberalization, deregulation,
and global integration of financial markets. This would be adding depth and dimension to the banking risks, As
the risks are correlated, exposure to one risk may lead to another risk, therefore management of risks in a
proactive, integrated and efficient manner will be the strength of the successful banks. The forward looking banks
would be in process of placing their MIS for the collection of the data required for the calculation of PD, LGD
and EAD. The banks are expected to have at a minimum PD data for five years and LGD and EAD data for seven
years. Presently most Indian banks do not possess the data .Also the personal skills, the IT infrastructure and MIS
at the banks need to be upgraded substantially if the banks want to migrate to the IRB approach. Development of
MIS, Human Resource,, proper risk based pricing in the increased competition from foreign banks and domestic
banks, maintaining the Basel II norms and CAR are going to be the future challenges of the risk management of
Indian Banking Industry.
CHAPTER - VI
Case study
M/S XYZ Ltd.
The directors hails from business family and are attached with several business. Sri Keshav Chand Padia and Sri
Bijay Padia are also associated with Jaraikela Lumberman (India) Pvt. Ltd. engaged in similar type of business
and have acquired sufficient experience in the line of manufacturing of plastic containers, PVC pipes and other
plastic products for industrial uses.
The company was originally promoted by Sri Biswanath Kedia and others in the name of M/S Bala Shah
Industries Ltd, which was incorporated on 2nd July, 1997 and the certificate for commencement of business was
obtained on 15th July, ’97. The company was incorporated with the main object to carry on the business as timber
merchant, Shaw mill, Vencer and plywood manufacturer etc. on 9th Dec ’97, the company purchase land
measuring 1.62 acres (98 kottahs) of P.S. Bhadreswar, Mouza – Bighati, Dist – Hooghly with a total consideration
of Rs. 7.13 lacs. Factory shed was constructed during 98-99 for which 20.13 lacs was invested. The main objects
of the company were changed to carry on the business of manufacturing and dealing all kind of plastic materials.
The name of the company was also subsequently changed to M/S Eastern Polycraft Industies Ltd. on 13th July
’99.
Under the initiative of the new promoters the company took initiative for setting up of a plastic container
manufacturing unit with a total cost of Rs. 195.38 lacs by availing financial assistance from BOB, Brabourne Rd.
Branch. The company was initially sanctioned a term loan limit of Rs. 134.95 lacs to part finance the cost of the
project. The commercial production was to start from 2000-2001. Though The company installed one machine as
against two originally planned the production could not be started effectively due to defect found in the moulds.
Though several attempts were made to repair the moulds it could not be repaired. As a result the sales of the
company failed to pick-up as projected. The company postponed the idea of purchasing the second machine, out
of the loan of Rs. 134.95 lacs. Sanctioned to the company. They only availed loan upto Rs. 72.33lacs. Rest of the
limit was surrendered. Subsequently during 2002-2003 the company purchased new moulds. Their product
were approved by various major oil and paint companies and their sales started peaking up. The company there
after went for manufacturing of containers with one injection moulding machine in the year April,2000. The
company continuously improve its performance and added additional capacity by way of purchase of new
machines.
The company is regular in repayment of loan installment of bank. Encouraged by success and looking at
increasing demand the company has now decided to go for further expansion of capacity of their concerning
division.

As seen from the table above, there is no diversion of short term fund for long purposes except during 08-09,
the amount being Rs. 35.78 lacs which is a meager amount considering the scale of operation? Here it may also
be mentioned that the company had purchased machinery worth Rs. 28.39 lacs from own source for which
reimbursement was sought. As the term-loan was sanctioned on 29.4.09, subsequent to which term-loan was
disbursed, there has been a mismatch in the fund flow during 08-09, which has been rectified.
Comments on performance:- Sales: Sales of the company is showing increasing trend. The company has
achieved Gross Sales of Rs. 1649.99 lacs and Net sales of Rs. 1513.20 lacs during the last FY 08-09 against the
earlier estimated gross sales of Rs. 1664.00 lacs and estimated Net sales of Rs. 1532.81 lacs thereby achieving
99.16% of the Gross sales and 98.36% of the Net sales. The variance is negligible and is hence accepted. During
the course the company registered growth in Gross sales by 54.81% and in Net sales by 54.54% against the
previous year (PY)07-08 Sales when the Gross sales of the company was Rs. 1385.85 lacs and Net sales was Rs.
913.84 lacs. During the Current year (CY) the company has already registered Gross sales of Rs. 1308.25 during
the period 1.4.09 to 20.8.09. The company also has orders worth Rs. 3347.36 lacs from various respected
companies as on date, the break-up of which is as under:-
(Rs. in lacs)
TOTAL 3347.35
The company gets continuous work order from IOC Ltd., IBP Co. Ltd., HP Corporation. Ltd., etc. The company
has now estimated/ projected gross sales of Rs. 2640.61 lacs / Rs. 4131.20 lacs during 08-09/ 09-10 which seem
to be reasonable and acceptable under normal business conditions due to the under mentioned reasons:-
Net Profit:
The company had earlier earned NP of Rs. 30.46 lacs during the year 07-08 with NP margin of 4.22% and
operating profit margin of 20.52%. However as per the ABS as on 31.3.08 the NP of the company reduced to Rs.
10.23 lacs during 07-08 registering Net profit margin of 1.13% & operating profit margin of 18.21%. The main
reason for the reduced profit is explained as increase in the cost of sales, owing to increase in the price of the raw
materials. Besides there was an increase in selling & administration expense and interest paid to bank expenses.
The company had earlier also estimates NP of Rs. 32.37 lacs during 08-09 but as per ABS as on 31-3-09 the NP
registered by the company is Rs. 13.78 lacs, while recording NP margin of 0.84% and the operating profit margin
of 16.05%. Reduced operating profit is explained by the company is due to procurement of raw materials by the
company on the basis of delivery challans, (credit purchase) during 08-09, but the relevant bills for which was
submitted by the suppliers to the company for payment during the FY 08-09. Reduction in the NP margin during
08-09 is due to increase in the selling & administration expenses (main components being – trading expenses,
truck expenses & discount allowed to customers) and interest paid to bank on account of increase in bank exposure
obtained for the expansion project of the company. In continuation of the above trend the company has estimated
as conservative NP for the FY 08-09 at Rs. 15.57 lacs while working out the operating profit margin at 15.48%
and NP margin at 0.61% which is acceptable. The company has projected NP of Rs.27.53 lacs, Rs. 108.59 lacs,
Rs. 158.56 lacs & Rs. 206.92 lacs for the FYs 08-09, 09-10, 10-11, and 11-12 respectively. T he operating profit
margin for the future projection works out in the range of 13 – 14% while the NP margin has been projected to
increase ranging from 2.31% to 4.78% mainly due to stable increase in the selling & administration expenses,
while the bank interested has been projected to reduce on a/c of repayment of the term loans availed/ to be availed
which seems to be reasonable and is acceptable.
Net worth
The NW of the co has increased gradually due to plough bach of profit into the business as well as due to fresh
introduction of equity. The tangible network of the company as per ABS as on 31.08.09 has increased to Rs
329.66 has as against Rs 272.27 lacs as on 31.3.08 mainly due to fresh introduction of equity of Rs 49.00 lacs.
The TWW of the Co. has been estimated at Rs 370.77 Lacs for the current financial year 09 – 10 due to further
introduction of capital.

Ratios
Current Ratio
CR of the Company as on 31.3.09 reduced to 0.97 from 1.04 as on 31.03.08 mainly due to increase in short term
bank borrowings, of the term loan installment liabilities are not considered as part of current liabilities then the
CR daily 08 -09 and 09- 10 works out to 1.16 and 1.03 respectively.
The Company has estimated CR of 1.18 during the current year 09- 10. Here again if the term loan installment
liabilities are not considered as part of CL then the CR works out to 1.33 which is acceptable.
The Company being a medium enterprise as per circular no – Bcc/ BR / 2005 of SME policy, CR of 1.20 is
acceptable, CR for the future projection have been worked out above the benchmark level and the same is
acceptable.
TTL / TNW of the company as on 31.3.09 is 0.76 which is estimated to increase to 2.5 as on 31.03.09 on a/c of
increase in term loan expense availed/ to be availed from the bank, but the same is within the acceptable
benchmark level. TTl/ TNW in the future preparation is projected to improve gradually due to repayment of the
term loan installment.
Similarly, TOL / TNW of the company, was 2.57 as on 31.3.09 which is estimated to increase to 4.76 on a/c of
increase in bank exposer TOL/ TNW in the future preparation has been projected to increase due to repayment of
the term loan installments.
Last assessment on what sales and for which year proposed: Last assessed based on projected sales of
Rs.1715.62 lacs for the FY 2009-10.
Whether company has achieved last accepted sales, if not, reasons: The Financial Year 09-10 is not yet
over and hence achievement of the projected sales does not arise. However the company’s total earnings
for the year 2008-09 as per ABS as on 31.3.09 is Rs 1469.99 lacs against the earlier estimated revenue
of Rs.1428.02 lacs.
Net sales / Export achieved up to the date of assessment / half yearly / quarterly sales: Company has
achieved sales of Rs. 1007.25 lacs during the current financial year from 1.4.09 to 20.8.09.
Justification for Working capital: As per guidelines, working capital limit has been worked out on the
basis of 1st method lending as well as turnover method as per table given here under –
(figs. in lacs)
Less: Current Liabilities (other than bank 167.53 238.07 476.43 702.55
borrowings)
The company has requested for review of cash credit limit at the existing level of Rs.360.00 lacs for the FY 2010-11
which is justified under 1ST method of lending as well as Turnover method and the same is proposed for sanction.
Comments on inventory holding/creditors/debtors level/ reasons for accepting large variance in inventory/creditors/ debtors
level.
(figs in days)
The inventory holding during 08-09 increased to 61 days from 52 days during 07-08. It has however been explained by
the company that the increase in holding level is due to increase in the cost of raw materials (plastic granules) towards the
end of FY 08-09 and not on account of holding of higher level of inventory. However the holding level is at acceptable
level. The company has estimated/projected the holding level in the range of 42-46 days which is reasonable and
acceptable.
The main customers of the company are the Navaratna PSU oil companies and other big reputed companies. It has been
observed in the past that payment for the same is received within 2-3 months of sales. However the holding level of the
company improved from 83 days during 2007-08 to 60 days during 08 -09. The debtors level has been estimated at 76
days for the current year 09-10 and projected to stabilize at 61 days in the future which is reasonable and acceptable.
Major portions of the company’s creditors are the creditors under Letter of Credit. The creditor’s level of the company has
increased from 42 days during 07-08 to 48 days during 08-09 due to increase in letter of credit exposure the creditors
level has been further estimated/projected to increase and stabilize in range of 56-57 days on account of the letter of credit
exposure , but the same is reasonable and adaptable
Term loan:
Demand for the company’s product is encouraging. In order to the situation in the company has envisaged carrying out
expansion of its production capacity. The company has therefore approached the bank to part finance the cost of the
expansion of the project.
The total cost of the expansion project has been estimated at Rs 623.00lacs by the company. The company has requested
for fresh term loan of Rs 490.5lacs to part finance the proposed expansion project whereas the promoter’s contribution
will be 25% of the total project cost. The breakup of the cost of the project and mean of finance is given hereunder.
Total cost of the expansion as per the project report submitted by the company will be as under:
1 Factory shed & building @ Rs. 550/sq. ft. (20000 for the existing unit at 110.00
Bhadreswar, Hooghly)
2 New SDF flats allotted at Uluberia industrial growth centre (6 nos. of flats @ 22.5
Rs. 3.75 lacs)
3 Plant & Machinery ( for both the units at Bhaleswar and Uluberia) 490.5
Total 623.00
As requested by the company we have recommend for waiving of TEV study as it is only an expansion project and the
company is in this line of activity since long and is also having satisfactory dealing with BOB.
1) Factory shed & Building – The said cost has been estimated based on the offer for civil construction work from M/S
ABC Commerce & Construction Company Pvt. Ltd., as ISO 9001:2000 certified company having its office at 5A, Orient
Row, Kolkata-700017, vide their offer letter No. AMCON/CIVIL/SG-131/513 dated 4.6.09. The breakup of the civil
construction cost is as under:-
Sl. no. Description of work Unit Qty Unit Rate Total Amount (Rs.)
TOTAL 10906395
2) 6 new SDF Flats: The Company has now been further offered 6 nos. of SDF buildings by WBIIDC based on the merit
of the project. The SDF flats are adjacent to the recently acquired 32 SDF flats at Uluberia Growth Centre. The Company
has informed that the said buildings will initially be acquired by the Company from own sources and thereafter sanctions
of the Term loan, the Company will seek for reimbursement of the same. The cost of each flat has been informed to be
3.75 lacs each as per the project report.
Based on the above information and the project report submitted by the company, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
has been calculated as under:-
The DSCR of the company as a whole has been worked out as under:
Service:
(+)Depreciation & Preliminary expenses written off 139.25 171.39 139.27 115.30
Debt:
As per Domestic Loan Policy Guidelines 2008. Average DSCR of – with a minimum DSCR of 1.25 in any given year is
acceptable.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS:
Based on various situations sensitivity analysis has been carried out, the summary of which is as per chart given
below:-
The above sensitivity analysis shows that the operations of the company are satisfactory and is not very susceptible to the
various scenarios we can see from the above table that all parameters of project are comfortable enough to withstand
adverse variations even in critical situation. Moreover, the company is dealing in supply of its product to public sector oil
companies so chances of drop in sale price more than 2% is a remote possibility.
Bank Guaranties – Bank Guaranties are required by the company for uninterrupted supply of module plastic containers to
IOCL, HPCL, and in lieu of security deposit to be submitted favouring WBSEB. All these guarantees are performance in
nature. The present outstanding balance in the BG Limit is Rs. 40.29 lacs.
Normally, Bank Guarantees issued on behalf of the company have not been invoked in the past except for the instance the
3 BGs aggregating Rs. 8.37 lacs were invoked by BSNL during 05-06 due to non-execution of supply orders of polythene
pipes as there was some dispute over specification and cost of materials. However, the same was adjusted in full through
the cash credit account of the company and hence no crystallization for the same was made.
The company has now requested for review with increase of the BG Limit from Rs.50 to Rs. 60 lacs at 25%. We propose
increase in the BG Limit from Rs.50.00 lacs to Rs. 60.00 lacs at 25% margin as the company has not any further
collaterals for the increase in exposure. Assessment of the BG Limit is as under: -
(figs. in lacs)
Add: Estimated requirement of BGs during the next 12 months for participation in 20.00
various tenders.
Add: Estimated requirement of BGs for submitting to WBSEDCL in lieu of the security 15.00
deposit.
Considering the turnover projected by the company, the above assessed BG Limit is justified.
Letter of credit facility is required by the company for procurement of raw material. Raw material is procured by the
company from the domestic as well as the international market as per requirement. The company is presently enjoying
inland / imports LC Limit of Rs. 50.00 lacs present outstanding of which is Rs. 48.96 lacs as on date. Cash margin for the
said facility has been reduced from 25% to 10% by the GM(EZ) as per modification proposal dated 2.7.09.
The company has also been sanction Ad-Hoc inland / Import LC Limit of Rs. 64.00 lacs at a cash margin of Rs.64.00 lacs
at a cash margin of 10% by the DGM (KMR) on 3.7.09 for 3 months due to increase in the cost of plastic granules and
basic raw materials. Ad-Hoc limit was also required due to short supply of the raw materials, while there are huge work
orders received for which sufficient raw materials holdings is required. The o/s Balance of the Ad-Hoc inland / import LC
Limit is Rs. 66.43 lacs as on date, (excess of Rs. 1.43 lacs has been opened against 100% cash margin).
Due to regular expansion measures adopted by the company owing to increased demand of the product, the company
envisages enhanced requirement of raw materials procurement under LC. The company has therefore requested for
increase in the regular LC Limit from the existing level of Rs. 50.00 lacs to Rs. 325.00 lacs. On sanction of the regular LC
Limit of Rs.325.00 lacs the Ad-Hoc LC Limit of Rs.64.00 lacs is proposed to be regularized and the o/s balance of the
same will form part of the proposal enhanced regular LC Limit of Rs. 325.00 lacs.
Out f the total raw material procured by the company, 85% of the raw material procurement is made under LC. Based on
the above estimations / projections submitted by the company LC Limit has been assumed as under:-
(Figs. in lacs)
SWOT Analysis:
Strength:
Weakness:
1) Low margin of profit but the same is proposed to improve due to the proposed expansion profit.
2) The price of basic raw materials i.e. HDPE granules is subject to fluctuating being a petro product but the
same is at a manageable level.
Opportunities:
1) With the opening of economy and privatization of Government sector oil companies; there is vast scope
of increase of demand of companies’ product.
Threat:
1) Competition from other manufactures which can be managed by the company due to its expertise in the
field, reputation built in the market and the standing of the promoter in the market.
CHAPTER - VII
Suggestions
The net large borrower advances of Bank of Baroda in the Eastern Zone have increased over the period.
The advances include loans to wholesale sector, SME sector and others. The SME lending has a declining
trend.
More than 63% of the funds allocated to the large borrower advances have been given to medium risk
category of borrowers (especially BOB-5).Fund based exposures are high. Approximately 34% of the
funds have been provided to the low risk category of borrowers.
Study reveals that the KMR alone accounts for more than 88% of the large borrower advances in the
Eastern Zone.
Efforts were also made to improve the speed of decision making. The average turnaround time for sanction
of a proposal was reduced considerably to less than 30 days during FY10 as against 45 days during FY09.
With the continued thrust on faster delivery through efficient channels and adoption of better practices in
credit administration, the Bank plans to reduce the turnaround time in according a sanction further to less
than 20-25 days. The number of Fast-track proposals sanctioned during FY10 was 230 amounting to Rs
32,933.23 crore compared to 122 amounting to Rs 16,525.99 crore last year. The strengthening of fast
track clearance of large credit helped in brining qualitative change in the credit dispensation.
The internal rating methodology of the bank reliable and it is reviewed from time to time. While following
the internal rating process, the bank also considers the rating given by the other professional rating
agencies whenever possible in order to avoid risk.
LIMITATION
Making the credit rating comparison is not possible with its competitors, the major players like HDFC
Bank, IDBI Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, Nationalized Banks like SBI, Bank of India, and Allahabad Bank etc.
are taken into consideration, because of inadequate data. These financial institutions have been selected because
these are the major players in today’s market. An analysis with these players will help to know better the reason
why they are standing at front or at back Bank of Baroda.
Recommendations/ suggestions
The other two regions except KMR are not properly explored by the bank. Therefore the strategy for the
bank should be more and more financial inclusion in those unexplored parts of the region.
Some of the parameters under the head Industry risk and Business risk are compulsory and some are
optional. These affect the overall rating of any company. If the credit rating are intentionally or
neglectfully done, some good company will be deprived of good rating as well as good facility and some
company are upgraded wrongly. So, this optional rating parameters should be omitted/ avoided to rectify
the errors.
For any International Company and export-import based company the rating procedure or system should
be different from domestic ones, any international credit rating system should be adopted taking into
consideration the international factors.
SME sectors should be priorities. The SMEs sector is considered to be an untapped market for financial
institutions in India. We just need to combat certain obstacles.
NPA in Commercial Banks have gone up to an alarming level, most of it caused due to restructuring of
loans to the Real estate and Textile sector. CRISIL just came up with a paid rating service for real estate
projects. The key objective of CRISIL real estate star rating is to empower consumers. They will also fill
a gap by providing credible verified information on projects. CRISIL Star rating is an attempt to empower
consumers in their investment decisions. Consequently, quality projects and developers will be able to
differentiate themselves more efficiently. This will leads to branding in real estate industry. If Bank of
Baroda adopts some special credit rating system for these two sectors, then NPA can be minimized.
CHAPTER VIII
CONCLUSION
Conclusion:
Credit risk is the biggest risk which a bank faces and can arise through many facets of banking operations. Credit
risk management has acquired a greater significance in the recent past for various reasons. Topmost among them
is the financial liberalization across the globe and on-going economic reforms, which has changed the complexion
of the markets. The post liberalization years have put significant pressure on banks in India with many banks
showing signs of distress, only reason is lack of effective credit risk management systems. With increase in new
segments of risks, the need is felt for credit risk management techniques with more sophisticated and versatile
instruments for risk assessment, monitoring and controlling risk exposure.
The guidance note issued by the RBI is a comprehensive document in which the RBI has identified further steps
which are required to be taken by banks for upgrading their risk management systems. The systems, procedures
and tools prescribed in the guidance note are, therefore, only indicative in nature and risk management systems
in banks should be adaptable to changes in business size, the market dynamics and the introduction of innovative
products by banks in future.
As per the views expressed in the note, with the adoption of new Accord, banks will require substantial up
gradation of the existing credit risk management systems and to adopt suitable credit risk / risk rating models to
meet the requirement of credit risk management and risk based pricing. While selecting or developing the model
the prevailing conditions end commonly acceptable framework for the banking system as a whole need to be kept
in view. As lack of availability of proper MIS/representative data is one of the main problems, suitable models
for collection and analysis of data will also have to be developed. Banks may adopt any model depending on their
size, complexity, risk bearing capacity and risk appetite etc. which should, at least, achieve the following:
Result in differentiating the degree of credit risk in different credit exposures of a bank;
Identify concentrations in a portfolio;
Identify problem credits before they become NPAs;
Identify adequacy/inadequacy of loan provisions;
Help in pricing of credit.

DSCR
Total Debt /Tangible Net worth
Net cash accruals / Total debt

This ratio calculates the coverage for interest payable by the company from the cash generated from the operations. The
unit for measurement of this ratio is times.
Interest Coverage = Profit before interest, depreciation and tax (PBDIT) / (Interest and Finance Charges)

The Return on Capital Employed (RoCE) is one of the most important parameters of profitability. It assesses the return on
the “investment” made in the borrower’s business by the main stakeholders who provide capital - shareholders and lenders
like banks or financial institutions. Ideally, the RoCE should be more than the weighted average cost of capital for the
borrower. Only if it is more than the weighted average cost of capital, then the suppliers of capital can hope for adequate
level of rewards from investing in the borrower’s business. If the RoCE is lower than the cost of capital, the business is not
generating enough returns for the amount of capital invested. It represents an opportunity loss for the capital providers, as
the business does not generate enough value for adequate returns.
Where capital employed = (Capital + Reserves + Short term debt + Long term debt +Deferred Tax Liability– Intangible
Assets – Deferred Tax Asset - Miscellaneous Expenditure not written off- Accumulated Losses-Revaluation reserves –
Capital work in progress)
ROCE is scored as a weighted average of the least three years.
Score 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
The operating profit margin assesses the profitability of the main operations of the borrower, arising from the income from
the main operations of the borrower. Non -operating income like investment income, prior period income and other extra
ordinary income is not taken into account, as it is not a sustainable and stable source of income. The ratio indicates the
market outlook for the borrower’s products and services which is translated into the sales price for the product / service and
the “premium” that the borrower can command for a product or a service, depending on the borrower’s market leverage.
The scale of the operations of the organisation, the level of competition existing in the industry and the relative position of
the borrower’s organisation in the industry are some of the factors, which influence the market leverage. For example,
soaps are basically commodity products, but branding can result in different sales pricing due to the positioning strategy
adopted by a manufacturer and the market position of the manufacturer.
The ratio is defined as PAT after Extraordinary & Prior period items / Net sales
Score 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
It is imperative to ascertain the safety of the debt facility or loan quantitatively in terms of the coverage of profits or cash
flows for debt obligations like interest and debt repayment. Traditionally, the safety of debt facilities has been assessed on
the basis of profitability, in terms of coverage of interest and debt repayments by the profits earned by the business. But
this method does not capture the ability of the business to generate adequate or more than adequate cash flows for coverage
of debt obligations. This means that though a business may be making adequate or more than adequate profits for debt
coverage, the business may not be generating enough cash for servicing debt obligations. Such situations may arise when
the working capital management of the business is not strong, or when a substantial amount of cash gets tied up in current
assets. Therefore, to conservatively assess a business’s ability to meet debt obligations, cash flows generated from
operations should be used instead of profits earned from the business. The cash flows generated from operations should
not take into account inflows like non-operating income or extra-ordinary income or expenditure because such inflows are
non-recurring in nature

6. Current Ratio
The current ratio is an important measure of liquidity as it measures a borrower’s ability to meet short-term obligations. It
compares short-term obligations (or current liabilities) to short term (or current resources) available to meet these
obligations. A lot of insight can be obtained about the immediate cash solvency of the borrower and the borrower’s ability
to remain solvent in the event of adversity, by measuring the current ratio. Current assets mainly comprise inventories,
receivables (also called debtors) and other items like cash and bank balances, loans and advances to other organisations /
borrower’s affiliates etc. Current liabilities mainly comprise bank borrowings, payables (or creditors) and other liabilities
like security deposits; payments accrued to government agencies etc.
Generally, a high current ratio indicates a high level of liquidity for the borrower. Banks in India have fixed a benchmark
of 1.33 times for an indicative current ratio, based on the Tandon Committee Recommendations.
Current Ratio = (Total Current Assets - Debtors > 6 months – Loans & Advances to group concerns) / (Total Current

Management of foreign exchange and fund repatriation risks - must be scored only if exports exceed 40 % of sales.
Sound management practices can to a large extent contain the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations and repatriation
risks. This parameter has to be assessed on the basis of presence of forex risks and the efforts to hedge these risks
effectively.

FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY
Financial Flexibility attempts to evaluate the ability of a company to comfortably raise funds to meet its future requirements
(both planned as well as unplanned). The company is evaluated on the basis of its ability to raise the required funds either
via debt or via equity route. The qualitative parameters considered are:
