UTI Bank was the first of the new private banks to have begun operations in
1994, after the Government of India allowed new private banks to be established. The
Bank was promoted jointly by the Administrator of the specified undertaking of the
Unit Trust of India (UTI - I), Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General
Insurance Corporation Ltd. and its associates viz. National Insurance Company Ltd.,
The New India Assurance Company, The Oriental Insurance Corporation and United
Insurance Company Ltd. The Bank today is capitalized to the extent of Rs. 278.69
located at Mumbai. Presently the Bank has a very wide network of more than 450
branch offices and Extension Counters. The Bank has a network of over 1891 ATMs
providing 24hrs a day banking convenience to its customers. This is one of the largest
ATM networks in the country. The Bank has strengths in both retail and corporate

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF RISK MANAGEMENT
What is Risk?
Market Risk:
Market risk is the risk of adverse deviation of the mark to market value of the
trading portfolio, due to market movement, during the period required to liquidate the
transactions.
Operational Risk:
Operational Risk is one area of risk that is faced by all organizations. More
complex the organization more exposed it would be operational risk. This risk arises

Credit Risk:
The risk that a firm’s customers and the parties to which it has lent
money will fail to make promised payments is known as credit risk. Most firms face
some credit risks for account receivables. The exposure to credit risk is particularly
large for financial institutions, such commercial banks when firms borrow money;
they in turn expose lenders to credit risk, the risk that the firm will default on its
risk that firm will be unable to pay its debts and thus be forced to bankruptcy.

a) credit rating/scoring
b) Rating migration
a) Credit Rating:
the account, after the expiry of a given period, would remain a performing asset i.e. it
will continue to meet its obligation to its creditors, including bank and would not be in
default. In other words, credit rating exercise seeks to predict whether the borrower
would have the capability to honour its financial commitment in future to the rest of
the world.
lenders in financial market, all over the world, rely on some model, which seeks to
A borrower even though he is rated C, may not default after a given period of
say one year, whereas, another borrower rated A may default at the end of given
period. This type of apparently paradoxical situation does arise and that too
infrequently. However if 100 C rated borrowers are tracked over a period of say one
year and say 10 borrowers default in meting their financial obligations, as against that,
100 A rated borrower, if tracked over the same period, only one borrower may default
in meeting his financial obligations. So, lenders in financial market rate accounts to
determine the class to which a borrower belongs. And based on the past record of
default of the borrower belonging to the same class, they have a fair estimate of
possible number of defaults among the borrower belonging to the said class.

keeping financial commitment to the rest of the world is also more. Where revenue
Ex: cash generation from an investment in govt. security is absolutely stable and
hence risk associated with such investment is also non-existent. this would also mean
that an A rated borrower would have more stable revenue generation than of B rated
borrower and an A++ rated borrower’s revenue generation would more stable than
b) Rating Migration:
Ex: a borrower M/s XYZ ltd is rated as B+ based on the position as on 31-3-02 The
same company is again rated as on 31-3 03 based on its position as on the date, its
rating, based on the same model, say comes to B. then we say that the rating of the
similar rating is observed. Say we have 100 A rated borrowers as on 31 st March 2002.
When these accounts are rated again as on 31st March 2003, i.e. after one year,
This migration table implies that A rated borrower would have 2% default
probability. This is based on one year data only when this observation is collated over
This migration pattern of A rated borrowers should also compare well with
standard migration pattern published by rating agencies. This means that if usually A
rated borrowers show 0.2% default probability in terms of standard migration pattern
observed, and rating migration as per the model records 2% default for A category
borrowers, then regulatory authorities, rating agencies and market will assume a
lower rating for all borrowers rated A under that model. The rating equivalent would
in terms of standard rating models. This is known as mapping with market standards.

as the risk of failure on the part of the borrower to meet obligations towards the bank

in accordance with the terms and conditions that have been agreed upon. Inability and
or / unwillingness of the borrower to repay debts may be the cause of such default.
Credit Risk Management becomes even more relevance in the light of the
changes that have been brought about in the economic environment including
Banks and financial institutions are expanding their operations around the
world; they are entering new markets; and they are trading new asset types. These
changes have created new opportunities along with new risks. While banking is
always evolving, the current fast rate of change is making it a challenge to respond to
all the new opportunity. Changes in extreme banking debacles. In addition, there has
regulatory capital and economic capital. More subtly, banks and financial institutions
which are responding to the changes have been rewarded with a competitive
management is not new, not even in banking, the current rendition of risk
management is new.
Credit risk is traditionally the main risk of banks and financial institutions.
Banks and financial institutions are in the business of taking credit risk in exchange
for a certain return above the risk less rate. As one would expect, banks and financial
institutions deal in the greatest number of markets and types of products. Banks above
all other institutions, including corporations, insurance companies and asset managers,
face the greatest challenge in managing their credit risk. One of the credit risk
The internally oriented approach centers on estimating both the expected cost
and volatility of future credit losses based on the firm’s best assessment.
Future credit losses on a given loan are the product of the probability that the
borrower will default and the portion of the amount lent which will be lost in
the event of default. The portion which will be lost in the event of default is
dependent not just on the borrower but on the type of loan (eg. some bonds
have greater rights of seniority than others in the event of default and will
To the extent that losses are predictable, expected losses should be factored
into product prices and covered as a normal and recurring cost of doing business. i.e.,

event of default]).
A credit risk management model tells the credit risk manager how to allocate
scarce credit risk capital to various businesses so as to optimize the risk and return
characteristics of the firm. It is important or understand that optimize does not mean
minimize risk otherwise every firm would simply invest its capital in risk less assets.
A credit risk management model works by comparing the risk and return
The first component is the asset risk model that contains two main
subcomponents: the credit rating model and the dynamic credit rating model. The
credit rating model calculates the credit risk ness of an asset, while the dynamic credit
rating model calculates how that riskiness may evolve overtime. The credit riskiness
may be in the form of a probability of default or in the form of a credit rating. The
credit rating may correspond to one of the international credit rating services or the
institutions.
The credit riskiness of an asset can depend upon the particular structure of the
asset. For ex: - credit riskiness of a bond depends on its seniority as well as maturity.
To accurately measure the credit risk it is essential to know both the credit
riskiness today as well how that credit riskiness may evolve overtime. The dynamic
credit rating model calculates how an asset’s credit riskiness may evolve overtime.
The way this component is implemented depends very much on the assets in the
portfolio and the length of the period for which risk is being calculated. The credit
rating is influenced by the economy that moves through the business cycle. Thus the
The next major component of the model is the credit risk pricing model. This
model together with the market risk model will allow the credit risk management
model to calculate the relevant return statistics. The credit risk pricing model is
necessary because the price of the credit risk has two components. one is the credit
rating that was handled by previous component, the other is spread over the risk less
rate. The spread is the price that the market charges for a particular credit risk. This
spread can change without the underlying credit risk changing is affected by the
The credit risk pricing model can be based on the econometric models or any
of the popular risk-neutral pricing models which are used for pricing credit
rate pricing models and do not adequately account for the differences between credit
Credit risk management models need a dynamic credit risk term structure
model. The reason being that the credit risk models need both the expected return of
each asset as well as covariance matrix of returns. Credit risk models calculate the
credit risky term structure that is the yield curve for the various credit risky assets. It
also calculates the corresponding term structure for the end of the time period as the
Since the credit spreads do not move independently of one another the credit
risk pricing model, like the asset credit model also has a correlation component.
Depending on the asset in the portfolio it may be possible to economies and combine
The market risk pricing model is analogous to the credit pricing model, except
that it is limited to assets without credit risk. This component models the change in
the market rates such as credit riskiness. To price all the credit risky assets completely
and accurately it is necessary to have both a market risk pricing model and credit risk
pricing model.
These models are best suited for products such as loans that are most sensitive
Exposure Model:-
This model aggregates the portfolio of assets across lines and legal entities and
any appropriate category. In particular netting across a counter party would take into
account the relevant jurisdictions and its netting news. Without fully aggregating, the
diversification.
The exposure model also calculates for each asset the appropriate time period,
which roughly corresponds to the amount of the time it would take to liquidate the
asset.
The correct credit structure in any business is to have the three basic functions –
risk assessment, sales ledger and cash collection, under the control of credit manager.
Most successful companies put all credit related functions under the control of the
credit manager. The credit manager should be seen by other staff as resolving
customer problems. Risk control does not mean saying ‘no’ to poor risks, just because
the policy allows this. It means looking for ways of saying ‘yes’ i.e., a constructive
attitude and sufficient seniority to be able to make agreements with customers for, say

financial institutions selling credit protection the primary source of credit is the
institutions traditionally measure credit exposures by obligor and industry. They have
value-at-risk (VaR) framework. Although banks and financial institutions have begun
to develop internally, or purchase, systems that measure VaR for credit, bank
managements do not yet have confidence in the risk measures the systems produce. In
particular, measured risk levels depend heavily on underlying assumptions and risk
managers often do not have great confidence in those parameters. Since credit
derivatives exist principally to allow for the effective transfer of credit risk, the
difficulty in measuring credit risk and the absence of confidence in the result of risk
measurement have appropriately made banks cautious about the use of banks and
financial institutions internal credit risk models for regulatory capital purposes.
For banks and financial institutions selling credit protection through a credit
obligor(s) and the counterparty (in both default swaps and TRSs), establish separate
credit limits for each, and assign appropriate risk rating. The analysis of the reference
obligor should include the same level of scrutiny that a traditional commercial
borrower would receive. Documentation in the credit file should support the purpose
sufficient to support the reference obligor’s risk rating. It is especially important for
banks and financial institutions to use rigorous due diligence procedure in originating
credit exposure via credit derivative. Banks and financial institutions should not allow
the ease with which they can originate credit exposure in the capital markets via
establish a credit limit, and assign a risk rating. The credit analysis of the counterparty
should be consistent with that conducted for other borrowers or trading counterparties.
Management should continue to monitor the credit quality of the underlying credits
hedged. Although the credit derivatives may provide default protection, in many
instances the bank will retain the underlying credits after settlement or maturity of the
credit derivatives. In the event the credit quality deteriorates, as legal owner of the
Banks and financial institutions should measure credit exposures arising from
credit derivatives transactions and aggregate with other credit exposures to reference
completely eliminate the credit risk associated with holding a loan because the
reference asset may not have the same terms and conditions as the balance sheet
exposure. This residual exposure is known as basis risk. For example, upon a default,
the reference asset might lose 25% of its value, whereas the underlying loan could
lose 30% of its value. Should the value of the loan decline more that of default swap
than it loses on the underlying loan. Bonds historically have tended to lose more
value, in default situations, those loans. Therefore, a bank hedging a loan exposure
using a bond as a reference asset could benefit from the basis risk. The cost of
protection, however, should reflect the probability of benefiting from this basis risk.
More generally, unless all the terms of the credit derivatives match those of the
underlying exposure, some basis risk will exist, creating an exposure for the terms and
conditions of protection agreements to ensure that the contract provides the protection
desired, and that the hedger has identified sources of basis risk.
A protection buyer can suffer a credit loss on a default swap only if the
underlying obligor and the protection seller simultaneously default, an event whose
correlation between the underlying obligor and the protection seller. Hedgers should
seek protection seller counterparties that have the lowest possible default correlation
with the underling exposure. Low default correlations imply that if one party defaults,
only a small chance exists that the second party would also default. For example, a
bank seeking to hedge against the default of a private sector borrow in an emerging
market ordinarily would not by protection from a counterparty in that same emerging
market. Since the two companies may have a high default correlation, a default by one
would imply a strong likelihood of default by the other. In practice, some credit
hedging banks and financial institutions often fail to incorporate into the cost of the
hedge the additional risk posed by higher default correlations. The lowest nominal fee
offered by a protection seller may not represent the most effective hedge. Given

counterparties that are highly correlated with the underlying exposures should do so
only with the full knowledge of the risks involved, and after giving full consideration
Since the 1980s, Banks and financial institutions have successfully applied
modern portfolio theory (MPT) to market risk. Many banks and financial institutions
are now using earnings at risk (EaR) and Value at Risk (VaR) models to manage their
interest rate and market RISK EXPOSURES. Unfortunately, however, even through
credit risk remains the largest risk facing most banks and financial institutions, the

Data problems
While date problems remain an obstacle, these industry practitioners are making
significant progress toward developing tools that measure credit risk in a portfolio
context. They are also using credit derivatives to transfer risk efficiently while

periodically evaluating the credit quality of loans and other credit exposures.

Banks and financial institutions must determine the appropriate level of the
allowances for loan and losses (ALLL) on a quarterly basis. On large problem credits,
they assess ranges of expected losses based on their evaluation of a number of factors,
such as economic conditions and collateral. On smaller problem credits and on ‘pass’
credits, banks commonly assess the default probability from historical migration
analysis. Combining the results of the evaluation of individual large problem credits
and historical migration analysis, banks estimate expected losses for the portfolio and
Default probabilities do not, however indicate loss severity: i.e., how much
the bank will lose if a credit defaults. A credit may default, yet expose a bank to a

in a complete loss. Therefore, banks and financial institutions currently use historical

loss distribution: i.e., to reduce the probability of large, unexpected, credit losses.
Diversification cannot transform a portfolio of poor quality asses, with a high level of
portfolio of poor quality assets, with a large level of expected losses, into a higher
quality portfolio. Diversification efforts can reduce the uncertainty of losses around
the expectation (i.e., credit risk). But it cannot change the level of expected losses,
which is a function of the quality of the constituent assets. A low quality portfolio will
have higher expected losses than a high quality portfolio. Because all credit risky,

A study group under the Chairmanship of Mr. P.L.Tandon, the then Chairman
and MD of Punjab National Bank, was formed in July 1974 to examine in depth the
pattern and mode of financing of commercial banks and suggest changes in the
to finance only a portion of the borrower’s working capital requirement and not the
whole of it. With this point of view, the committee suggested three alternatives for
working out permissible levels of bank borrowings. Of the three methods of lending,
the third method was never put into practice. The second methods of lending continue
to dominate the lending decisions of commercial banks. All the three methods are
discussed below:
Method of Computation:
All the three methods begin with computation of working capital as given
below:
Total Current Assets (A) ------
Less: Current Liabilities other than Bank Borrowings (B) ------
Working Capital Gap (C=A-B) ------
Method 1:
Under this method, 75% of this working capital gap would be financed by the
Bank, which was called Permissible Bank Finance, and the remaining 25% would
have to be financed from the long-term resources of the borrower. (25% of C).
Method 2:
In this method, the borrower would be required to finance 25% of the total
current assets (not of working capital gap) from long-term sources. (25% of A).
Method 3:
In the third method, PBF should be calculated in the same manner as in the second
method, but after deducting core current asset from the total current assets. Core
current assets were to be financed from the long-term funds of the borrower.

level of raw material, process stock, finished goods and stores that are in the pipeline,

Of all different types of risk that a bank is subject to credit risk can be defined
as the risk of failure on the part of the borrower to meet obligations towards the bank
in accordance with the terms and conditions that have been agreed upon. Inability and

CASE ANALYSIS
State, which is running successfully from many years in that state and enjoying the
great profit. This company is a priority sector which is owned by private owned
limited company.
Now they are thinking to set up new plant in the Dharwad district Karnataka
State where there is more demand for the products of the proposed company. And
The company is intended to produce coal palette which means the processing
of the coal which is used by the hotels and other small scale manufacturing units in
near region. After processing the used coal the final output will be able to work as the
finished good which will be having 90% of the coal power as compared to the pure
coal. This can be called as the considerable proposal because the product proposed
will be acting as the cost effective alternative for electricity and other modes of power.
To set up this proposed plant the company is need of following credit facility.

After proposed loan from the firm bank next step is the bank has to collect
required documents related to the firm such as financial statements and considering
the ratio analysis which is made on the basis of the figures which are recorded in the
financial each ratio discloses different meaning. The loan will be granted on the
years and also calculated on the basis of collected on basis transaction made with the
bank in bank statement and list of creditors and debtors. After considering all above
documents bank makes verification of all these documents it sends to the central
office. Where central office investigates thoroughly the documents. After satisfying it
inform the branch and make clarification of documents if necessary. And tells to bank
study the position of the borrower by collecting information from the same field or
industry person or existing customer and from the other bank where the borrower is
borrower and also taken a legal opinion from advocate and also consider the collateral
securities.
If satisfied above criteria next important part of the bank is to do credit rating
where it is one of the inputs to better credit risk management which is calculated
1. financial performance
3. quality of management
4. industry outlook
5. conduct of account
Where each parameter consists of sub parameter. After considering sub parameter
importance the Weightage will be high. After considering the Weightage bank
calculate the risk existing for lending loan for particular company.
For this case, for getting scoring of above 5parameters, first and foremost
rating.
In below calculation for using 5 financial statements for financial performance sub
* Note: Debtors and creditors need to be the average of last year and
current year
1).Sales Growth
= {(value of sales in current year} / value of sales in year 3}(1/3)-1}]*100
= Net sales of the year 31-3-05 / net sales of year 31-3-02
= 322.24 / 148.41 = 2.17182
Sales growth = 2.17182 * (1/3) -1 * 100 = 29.49
Using this calculation we can come to know how much growth in sales is achieved
as compared to past three years’ sales. If the borrowers give the estimated high sales
growth we can easily find that.
2).PBDIT Growth
= [{value of PBDIT in current year) / (value of PBDIT 3 year)} (1/3) -1}] *100
= PBDIT of year 31-3-05 / PBDIT of 31-3-2005 = 10.99 / 4.00 = 2.7475
PBDIT = 2.7475 * (1/3) *100 = 40.06
This ratio indicates improved performance of the company reflected in increasing
profitability. As comparing with third root of current year’s PBDIT to PBDIT of 3
years
.
3) PBDIT / Sales
= (PBDIT / Net sales) * 100
= PBDIT of year 31-3-05 / net sales of year 31-3-05 * 100

4) Current ratio
= current assets / current liability
= current assets for the year 31-3-05 / current liability for the year 31-3-05
= 71.42 / 25.48
= 2. 80
Using this ratio liquidity position of the company can be found out. Higher the ratio
will be good for meanwhile but in the long run it may affect adversely.
This ratio shows that the company is getting the credit period on an average 27 days.
By considering the above two factors it comes to know that company is allowing
more days as compared to the credit period he is availing from his suppliers. This can
be concluded in two ways. In one way his suppliers not believing him, so his credit
availed days is less, other way he is getting the low interest rates from the bank and
he is giving the more days for his customers. So the credit allowed period is high as
Comment on case:
After calculating the above sub parameters banker adds these values to the
credit tool he comes to know the scoring rate of individual parameters. It helps the
banker to know the applicable interest rate and amount to be lent based on the credit
rating scores.
