and select AIFIs) to a borrower for exposure in the
Transport, Energy, Water & Sanitation,
Communication,
Social
and
Commercial
Infrastructure & their infrastructure sub-sectors
will qualify as 'infrastructure lending'.
Exposures to NBFCs
The exposure (both lending and investment,
including off balance sheet exposures) of a bank
to a single NBFC / NBFC-AFC (Asset Financing
Companies) should not exceed 10% / 15%
respectively, of the bank's capital funds as per its
last audited balance sheet. Banks may, however,
assume exposures on a single NBFC / NBFC-AFC
up to 15%/20% respectively, of their capital funds
provided the exposure in excess of 10%/15%
respectively, is on account of funds on-lent by the
NBFC / NBFC-AFC to the infrastructure sector.
Exposure of a bank to Infrastructure Finance
Companies (IFCs) should not exceed 15% of its
capital funds as per its last audited balance sheet,
with a provision to increase it to 20% if the same
is on account of funds on-lent by the IFCs to the
infrastructure sector. Further, banks may also
consider fixing internal limits for their aggregate
exposure to all NBFCs put together. Infusion of
capital funds after the published balance sheet

date may also be taken into account for the

purpose of reckoning capital funds. Banks should
obtain an external auditors certificate on
completion of the augmentation of capital and
submit the same to the Reserve Bank of India
(Department of Banking Supervision) before
reckoning the additions to capital funds.
Lending under Consortium Arrangements
The exposure limits will also be applicable to
lending under consortium arrangements.
Food credit
Borrowers, to whom limits are allocated directly
by the Reserve Bank for food credit, will be
exempt from the ceiling.

The ceilings on single /group exposure limit would
not be applicable where principal and interest are
fully guaranteed by the Government of India.
Loans against Own Term Deposits
Loans and advances (both funded and non-funded
facilities) granted against the security of a banks
own term deposits may not be reckoned for
computing the exposure to the extent that the
bank has a specific lien on such deposits.
Exposure to Leasing, Hire Purchase and Factoring
Services
Banks have been permitted to undertake leasing,
hire
purchase
and
factoring
activities
departmentally. Where banks undertake these
activities departmentally, they should maintain a
balanced portfolio of equipment leasing, hire
purchase and factoring services vis--vis the
aggregate credit. Their exposure to each of these
activities should not exceed 10 per cent of total
advances.

Credit Risk Assessment (CRA)

Models designed in conformity with
Internal Ratings Based (IRB) requirements
of Basel-II.
Separate models for Non-Trading Sector
(NTS) and Trading Sector (TS).
Two-dimensional structure for Risk Rating
Borrower Rating and Facility Rating.

Borrower Rating (BR) expanded to 16

grades (SB-1 to SB-16).
Hurdle rate is SB 10.
Facility Rating (FR) would also range from
FR-1 to FR-16
The new CRA models will be applicable to all
accounts with Aggregate Exposure (FBL + NFBL) of
Rs. 25 lacs and above, for both Non-Trading
Sector (C&I, SSI & AGL segments) and Trading
Sector (Including Services).
Simplified Model covers accounts with exposure
of Rs. 25 lacs and above, but upto Rs. 5 crores.
Regular Model covers accounts with exposure
above Rs. 5 crores.
Facility Rating (FR) will be applicable only for
exposures covered under the Regular Model
Borrower accounts rated SB 10 and below would
be rated at half-yearly intervals considering the
risk severity of the loan.
TAKE OVER OF ADVANCES
Take Over of Advances (Except AGL and PER
segments)
The proposed policy envisages strict compliance
of the following norms:
(a) Borrower account proposed to be taken over
should be a Standard Asset in the books of the
transferor bank / FI.
(b) The Borrower should be rated not below SB 6
on the basis of the audited Balance Sheet not
older than 12 months with a stipulation that the
financial score shall not be less than 40 out of the
possible 65.
External Credit Rating, wherever applicable, shall
have to be BBB (investment grade) or above (Both
CRA & ECR norms to be complied with, wherever
applicable).
(c) The Units CRA rating must be in consonance
with the latest industry outlook by the CRMD,
wherever applicable.
Takeover proposals satisfying the above referred
criterion will require no administrative clearance.
The above norms for takeover are considered
sacrosanct, in as much as no deviation will
normally be permitted by the Sanctioning
Authority. However, deviations, if warranted, may
be considered in select cases on the basis of
following considerations only:
(a) In respect of MSEs covered under CGTMSE
scheme, CRA up to SB 8

SBLC DEOGHAR

QUICK SUCCESS SERIES : ADVANCES GENERAL

Updated up to January 15, 2015
may be considered.
(b) Units with Credit enhancement by way of
urban tangible immovable
(Non- Agricultural) collateral with a minimum of
40%, besides meeting credit appraisal criterion
and in no case have credit rating of less than SB 8.
(c) Units with Corporate Guarantee of Group
Company with acceptable ECR of BBB & above,
and CRA of SB 6 & above.
Audited Financials should not be older than 12
months. But in all cases where Audited Financials
are older than 6 months, provisional financials not
older than 3 months are to be obtained and
analysed to satisfy that the activity level and
profitability, liquidity and solvency ratios are
broadly in alignment with the estimates /
projections. Important parameters such as
Gross/Net Sales,
Inventory, Receivables, Sundry
Creditors,
Unsecured Loans, Conversion of Share Application
Money into PUC, Additions to Gross Block may be
certified by a Chartered Accountant.
The unit should have earned net profits (post tax)
in each of the immediately preceding 3 years. If it
does not have a track record for 3 years, it should
have earned profits for at least two years. In other
words, units for takeover should have at least two
years of full fledged commercial operations
backing their track record.
Generally, takeover of loans below Rs 25 lacs is to
be discouraged. However, in case of exceptional
circumstances, operating units may consider
takeovers on a case to case to basis where
product specific minimum scores shall be the
threshold for considering such takeovers. As and
when New Scoring Models for loans up to Rs 25
lacs are rolled out, loans categorized/ graded as
Good Loans Clear Lending Decision shall only
be considered for take-over.
Takeover of units from Associate Banks is not
permitted.
In all cases of take-over, branches should ensure
completion of proper documentation and other
formalities within a period not exceeding a month
or as approved by the Sanctioning Authority, to
protect the interests of the Bank.
In the case of take over of loans from other
banks/ institutions, as the original title deeds will

be available to the Bank only after the entire dues

to the existing bank/ institution is repaid, an
interim report has to be obtained from the panel
Advocate based on certified copies of the title
deeds based upon which branches can go ahead
and takeover loan accounts from other
banks/institutions pending actual creation of the
equitable mortgage,
Norms for takeover of advances under

below, Stock & Receivable Audit to be conducted
at quarterly intervals.
e) In respect of all accounts eligible for Stock
Audit, verification of Invoice by the Stock Auditor
should be made part of the Stock Audit. Failure of

with. (e-cir- 794 dt 15/10/2013)
Legal Audit
Reserve Bank of India told banks to do legal audit
and re-verification of title deeds of loans above Rs
5 crore to check fraud. Two years back, banks
were told to put a system a place wherein the
concurrent auditors were required to look into
the genuineness of the title documents especially
for large value loans. This move was prompted by
an RBI study of large value frauds, especially in
the housing loan segment.
The Legal Audit shall be conducted preferably 3
months before the commencement of RFIA /
Credit Audit, so that auditee branches can comply
with rectification of the deficiencies pointed out.
A separate Legal Audit Report Format (LARF) to be
submitted by Legal Auditor has been designed.
The format contains Value Statements pertaining
to documentation, mortgage, charge creation,
etc., corresponding to Value Statements in the
existing Credit Audit Report Format (CARF).
Credit Audit
Credit Audit Department (CAD) is a specialized
wing of Inspection & Management Audit
Department, Corporate Centre, Hyderabad,
exclusively dealing with high value Credit
Accounts (with an exposure of Rs.10 crore and
above) domiciled at Branches all over the country.
Takeout finance
Banks also grant term loans for infrastructure
projects like road, telecom, ports etc for 12 to 15
years. But the banks resources are for relatively
short periods. So the banks face ALM problems in
infrastructure
finance.
Infrastructure
Development Finance Company (IDFC), provides
finance for infrastructure projects. It also provides

takeout finance to banks. Under this IDFC agrees

to take over the loan after 5 years from the bank.
FACTORING:Kalyansundaram
Committee
recommended introduction of Factoring in India.
Factoring is purchase of a trade debt by a factor.
Clayatons Rule
It is incorporated in S 59-61 of Indian Contract
Act. It is related to appropriation of Payment
towards debt. The first item of debit is offset by
the first payment. It is the sum first paid that is
treated as first paid out. This rule is applicable to
running a/cs like OD, CC etc., only.
Various Types of Borrowers
Minor: - As per S 11 of Indian Contract Act, a
contract with minor is void-ab-initio (from the
beginning). Money lent to a minor cant be
recovered from him even after he attains
majority. But if the money is spent for the
necessaries or for the benefit of his estate, the
minors estate would be liable.
Joint Hindu Family (JHF): All adult co-parcener are
required to sign the security documents. If a Joint
Hindu Family has a minor co-parcener, his
guardian should sign the documents on his behalf
to bind the minors interest in the JHF. Loan
granted to a JHF binds the share of the minor in
JHF property, but not his personal property, if
any. Loan granted for a business which is not
ancestral will not bind the co-parceners.
Partnership: All partners are jointly and severally
liable for all the debts of the firm. The liability of
the partners is unlimited. The properties of the
firm as well as the properties of individual
partners are liable for the satisfaction of the
liabilities of the firm. Guarantee of the partners in
their personal capacity is also obtained. This is
done with a view to ensure that the Bank will rank
along with the private creditors of the partners to
claim the dividend from the personal property of
the partners, in case of their insolvency. RBI has
decided to prohibit NBFCs (both deposit and non
deposit taking ) from contributing capital to any
partnership firm or to be partners in partnership
firms. In cases of existing partnerships, NBFCs may
seek early retirement from the partnership firms.

dependence on outside liabilities and the
feasibility of meeting them if need arises
c) Activity Ratio Indicates efficiency of the unit
in utilizing present available resources

Liabilities / Tangible Net Worth
ii) Financial Leverage Ratio = Total Outside
Liabilities/ Tangible Net worth
iii) Debt Service Coverage Ratio = (Profit After Tax
+ Depreciation + Interest on TL)/(Principal
Repayment of TL + Interest on TL)
Activity Ratio
i) Assets Turnover Ratio = Net Sales/Net Tangible
Assets
ii) Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold
(COS)/ Average Inventory
COS = Net Sales Gross Profit
Average Inventory = (Op Stock + Closing Stock)/2
iii) Debtors Period = Average Sundry
Debtors/Average daily credit sales
Average Sundry debtors = (Opening + Closing
Debtors)/2
iv) Creditors Period = Average Sundry Creditors/
Average daily credit purchases
Profitability Ratio
i) Return on Investment (ROI) = (Profit after Tax/
Total Tangible Assets) x 100

In respect of prospective new connections where

our estimated exposure is Rs. 5 crore or above

(aggregate of fund based and non-fun based
exposures), the Bank has entered into an
agreement with a service provider M/S Cubictree
Technology Solutions Pvt. Ltd., (CTSPL)for prescreening services.
Obtention of CIR is mandatory prior to sanction of
credit facilities when the borrower is having
Multiple Banking Arrangement or considered
under take over norms. The genuineness of the
CIR should be ascertained diligently and carefully
i.e. to be verified by way of branch visit,
telechecking, examining statements of accounts
etc.
It has been decided that Branch Managers, Case
Lead Officers or Case Officers in SAMBs and
Officers from SARBs/ Branches in the Circle / MCG
/ CAG can file RTI application with Income Tax
Department, Sub-Registrar of Assurances and
Municipal Corporation for ascertaining details of
income and properties owned by the borrowers /
guarantors. Further the Income Tax Authorities
cannot claim exemption as furnishing the details
would involve overriding public interest for
recovery of money due to the Bank which is public
money. In case the CPIOs or the respective
Appellate Authorities reject the application or
deny the information, the Bank can consider
taking up the matter with CIC and subsequently
with High Court and Supreme Court, if necessary.
