EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project was undertaken at the Punjab National Bank Circle Office Delhi, at the Credit Department. Financial requirements for Project Finance and Working Capital purposes are taken care of at the Credit Department. Companies that intend to seek credit facilities approach the bank. Primarily, credit is required for following purposes: a. Working capital finance b. Term loan for mega projects c. Non Fund Based Limits like Letter of Guarantee, Letter of Credit etc. Project Financing discipline includes understanding the rationale for project financing, how to prepare the financial plan, assess the risks, design the financing mix, and raise the funds. In addition, one must understand some project financing plans have succeeded while others have failed. A knowledge-base is required regarding the design of contractual arrangements to support project financing; issues for the host government legislative provisions, public/private infrastructure partnerships, public/private financing structures; credit requirements of lenders, and how to determine the project's borrowing capacity; how to analyze cash flow projections and use them to measure expected rates of return; tax and accounting considerations; and analytical techniques to validate the project's feasibility Project finance is different from traditional forms of finance because the credit risk associated with the borrower is not as important as in an ordinary loan transaction; what is most important is the identification, analysis, allocation and management of every risk associated with the project. The purpose of this project is to explain, in a brief and general way, the manner in which risks are approached by financiers in a project finance transaction. Such risk minimization lies at the heart of project finance. Efficient management of credit portfolio is of utmost importance as it has a tremendous impact on the Banks assets quality & profitability. The ongoing financial reforms

have no doubt provided unparallel opportunities to banks for growth, but have simultaneously exposed them to various risks, which need to be effectively managed. The concept of Credit Management is undergoing radical changes. Credit Risk in all exposures calls for precise measuring and monitoring for taking considered credit decisions with suitable risk mitigants, risk premium, etc. Credit portfolio should be well diversified in various promising sectors with a cautious approach to be adopted in risky segments. Also, lending continues to be a primary function in banking. In the liberalized Indian economy, clientele have a wide choice. External Commercial Borrowings and the domestic capital markets compete with banks. In another dimension, retail lending- both personal advances and SME advances- competes with corporate lending for funds and for human resources. But lending by nature cannot be an aggressive selling activity, disregarding the risks involved. Bank has to be competitive without compromising on the basic integrity of lending. The quality of the Banks credit portfolio has a direct and deep impact on the Banks profitafitability.

The study has been conducted with the purpose of getting in-depth knowledge about the credit appraisal and credit risk management procedure in the organization for the above said first two purposes.

OBJECTIVES

To study broad contours of management of credit, the loan policy, credit appraisal for business units i.e. for working capital loan or Term Loan.

To understand the basis of credit risk rating and its significance . To utilize the above learning and appraise the creditworthiness organizations those approach PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK for credit. This would entail undertaking of the following procedures: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. Management Evaluation Business / Industry Evaluation Technical Evaluation Legal Evaluation Financial Evaluation Credit Risk Rating

Project / Credit appraisal is a skill which has to be acquired by study and supplemented by practice. Intuitive guess work has little place in appraising the credit rating or credit needs of a corporate unit. The credit managers of banks and Non Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs) are duty bound to accept or reject a proposal on the basis of its viability or non - viability.

7.1 WORKING CAPITAL AND ITS ASSESSMENT


The objective of running any industry is earning profits. An industry will require funds to acquire fixed assets like land and building, plant and machinery, equipments, vehicles etc and also to run the business i.e. its day to day operations. Working capital is defined, as the funds required for carrying the required levels of current assets to enable the unit to carry on its operations at the expected levels uninterruptedly. Thus working capital required (WCR) is dependent on i. ii. The volume of activity (viz. level of operations i.e. Production and Sales) The activity carried on viz. manufacturing process, product, production programme, and the materials and marketing mix. The purpose of assessing the WC requirement of the industry is to determine how the total requirements of funds will be met. The two sources for meeting these requirements are the units long-term sources (like capital and long term borrowings) and the short-term borrowings from banks. The long-term resources available to the unit are called the liquid surplus or Net Working Capital (NWC). It can be explained by visualizing the process of setting up of industry. The units starts with a certain amount of capital, which will not normally be sufficient, even to meet the cost of fixed assets. The unit, therefore, arranges for a long-term loan from a financial institution or a bank towards a part of the cost of fixed assets. From these two sources after meeting the cost of fixed assets some funds remain to be used for working capital. This amount is the Net Working Capital or Liquid Surplus and will be one of the sources of meeting the working capital requirements. The remaining funds for working capital have to be raised from banks; banks normally provide working capital finance by way of advantage against stocks and sundry debtors. Banks, however, do not finance the full amount of funds required for carrying inventories and receivables: and normally insist on the stake of the enterprise at every stage, by way of margins. Bank finance is normally restricted to the amount of funds locked up less a certain percentage of margins. Margins are imposed with a view to have adequate stake of the promoter in the business both to ensure his adequate interest in the business and to act as a protection against any shocks that the business

may sustain. The margins stipulated will depend on various factors like salability, quality, durability, price fluctuations in the market for the commodity etc. taking into account the total working capital requirements as assessed earlier, the permissible limit, up to which the bank finance cab be granted is arrived. While granting working capital advances to a unit, it will be necessary to ensure that a reasonable proportion of the working capital is met from the long-term sources viz. liquid surplus. Normally, liquid surplus or net working capital be at least 25% of the working capital requirement (corresponding to the benchmark current ratio of 1.33), though this may vary depending on the nature of industry/ trade and business conditions.

Various methods for assessment of Working Capital are discussed in detail: Operating cycle method: Any manufacturing activity is characterized by a cycle of operations consisting of purchase of raw materials for cash, converting them into finished goods and realizing cash by sale of these finished goods. The time that lapses between cash outlay and cash realization by sale of finished goods and realization of sundry debtors is known as length of operating cycle. That is, the operating cycle consists of: Time taken to acquire raw materials and average period for which they are in store. Conversion process time Average period for which finished goods are in store and Average collection period of receivables (sundry debtors). Operating Cycle is also called cash-to-cash and indicates how cash is converted into raw materials, stocks in process, finished goods, bills (receivables) and finally backs to cash. Working capital is the total cash that is circulating in this cycle. Therefore, working capital can be turned over or deployed after completing the cycle. Factors, which influence working capital requirement, are Level of operating expenses and Length of operating cycle.
Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 13

Credit appraisal in PNB

Any reduction in either of the both will mean reduction in working capital requirement or indicate an efficient working capital management. It can thus be concluded that by improving that by improving the working capital turnover ratio (i.e. by reducing the length of operating cycle) a better management (utilization) of working capital results. It is obvious that any reduction in the length of the operating cycle can be achieved only by better management only by better management of one or more of the individual phases of the operating cycle period for which raw materials are in store, conversion process time, period for which finished goods are in store and collection period of receivables. Looking at whole problem from another angle, we find that we can set up extremely clear guidelines for working capital management viz. examining the length of each of the phases of the operating cycle to assess the scope for reduction in one or more of these phases. The length of the operating cycle is different from industry to industry and from one firm to another within the same industry. For instance, the operating cycle of a pharmaceutical unit would be quite different from one engaged in the manufacture of machine tools. The operating cycle concept enables to assess working capital need of each enterprise keeping in view the peculiarities of the industry it is engaged in and its scale of operations. Operating cycle is an important management tool in decision making.

Traditional method of assessment of working capital requirement

The operating cycle concept serves to identify the areas requiring improvement for the purpose of control and performance review. But, as bankers, we require a more detailed analysis to assess the various components of working capital requirement viz., finance for stocks, bills etc.

Credit appraisal in PNB

Bankers provide working capital finance for holding an acceptable level of current assets viz. raw materials, stock-in-process, finished goods and sundry debtors for achieving a predetermined level of production and sales. Quantification of these funds required to be blocked in each of these items of current assets at any time will, therefore provide a measure of the working capital requirement of an industry. Raw material: Any industrial unit has to necessarily stock a minimum quantum of materials used in its production to ensure uninterrupted production. Factors, which affect or influence the funds requirement for holding raw material, are: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. ix. x. Average consumption of raw materials. Their availability locally or form places outside, easy availability / scarcity, number of sources of supply Time taken to procure raw materials (procurement time or lead time) Imported or indigenous. Minimum quantity supplied by the market (Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)). Cost of holding stocks (e.g. insurance, storage, interest) Criticality of the item. Transport and other charges (Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)). Availability on credit or against advance payment in cash. Seasonality of the materials.

This raw material requirement is generally expressed as so many months requirement (consumption).

Stock in process: Barring a few exceptional types of industries, when the raw material get converted into finished products within few hours, there is normally a time lag or delay or period of processing only after which the raw materials get converted into finished product. During this period of processing, the raw materials get converted into finished goods and expenses are being incurred. The period of processing may vary from a few hours to a number of months and unit will be blocked working funds in the stock-in-process during this period. Such funds blocked in SIP depend on:
Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 15

Credit appraisal in PNB

i.The processing time ii.Number of products handled at a time in the process iii.Average quantities of each product, processed at each time (batch quantity) iv.The process technology v.Number of shifts. Finished goods: All products manufactured by an industry are not sold immediately. It will be necessary to stock certain amount of goods pending sale. This stock depends on: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. ix. Whether the manufacture is against firm order or against anticipated order Supply terms Minimum quantity that can be dispatched Transport availability and transport cost Pre-dispatch inspection Seasonality of goods Variation in demand Peak level/ low level of operations Marketing arrangement- e.g. direct sale to consumers or through dealers/ wholesalers. The requirement of funds against finished goods is expressed so many months cost of production.

Sundry debtors (receivables): Sales may be affected under three different methods: i. ii. iii. Against advance payment Against cash On credit

A unit grants trade credit because it expects this investment to be profitable. It would be in the form of sales expansion and fresh customers or it could be in the form of retention of existing customers. The extent of credit given by the industry normally depends upon: i. ii. Trade practices Market conditions
Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 16

Credit appraisal in PNB

iii. iv. v.

Whether it is bulky by the buyer Seasonality Price advantage Even in cases where no credit is extended to buyers, the transit time for the goods to reach the buyer may take some time and till the cash is received back, the unit will have to be cut out of funds. The period from the time of sale to receipt of funds will have to be reckoned for the purpose of quantifying the funds blocked in sundry debtors. Even though the amount of sundry debtors according to the units books will be on the basis of Sale Price, the actual amount blocked will be only the cost of production of the materials against which credit has been extended- the difference being the units profit margin- (which the unit does not obviously have to spend). The working capital requirement against Sundry Debtors will therefore be computed on the basis of cost of production (whereas the permissible bank finance will be computed on basis of sale value since profit margin varies from product to product and buyer to buyer and cannot be uniformly segregated from the sale value). The working capital requirement is expressed as so many months cost of production.

Expenses: It is customary in assessing the working capital requirement of industries, to provide for 1 months expenses also. A question might be raised as to why expenses should be taken separately, whereas at every stage the funds required to be blocked had been taken into account. This amount is provided merely as a cushion, to take care of temporary bottlenecks and to enable the unit to meet expenses when they fall due. Normally 1-month total expenses, direct and indirect, salaries etc. are taken into account.

While computing the working capital requirements of a unit, it will be necessary to take into account 2 other factors, i. Is the credit received on purchases- trade credit is a normal practice in trading circles. The period of such credit received varies from place to place, material to material and person to person. The amount of credit received on purchases reduces the working capital funds required by the unit.

Industries often receive advance against orders placed for their products. The buyers, in certain cases, have to necessarily give advance to producers e.g. custom made machinery. Such funds are used for the working capital of an industry. It can be thus summarized as follows:

Raw materials Stock-in-process Finished Goods Sundry Debtors Expenses Total Current Assets Credit received on Purchases (months Purchase value) Advance payment on order received

Months requirement Months (cost of Production) Months cost of Production required to be stocked Months cost of Production (o/s credits) One month(normally)

Projected Annual Turnover Method for SME units (Nayak Committee)

For SME units, which enjoy fund based working capital limits up to Rs.5 crore, the minimum working capital limit should be fixed on the basis of projected annual turnover. 25% of the output or annual turnover value should be computed as the quantum of working capital required by such unit. The unit should be required to bring in 5% of their annual turnover as margin money and the Bank shall provide 20% of the turnover as working capital finance. Nayak committee guidelines correspond to working capital limits as per the operating cycle method where the average production/ processing cycle is taken to be 3 months. Example: Anticipated Annual Output (A) Working Capital Requirement: 25% of A (B) Margin : 5% of A (C) Maximum Permissible Bank Finance (B-C) Important clarifications: i. The assessment of WC limits should be done both as per Projected Turnover Method and Traditional Method; the higher of the two is to be sanctioned as credit limit. If the operating cycle is more than 3 months, there is no restriction on extending finance at more than 20% of the turnover provided that the borrower should bring n proportionally higher stake in relation to his requirements of bank finance. ii. While the approach of extending need based credit will be kept in mind, the financial strengths of the unit is also important, the later aspect assumes greater significance so as to take care of quality of banks assets. The margin requirement, as a general rule, should not be diluted. 120 30 6 24

MPBF Method (Tandon and Chore Committee Recommendations) The Tandon Committee was appointed to suggest a method for assessing the working capital requirements and the quantum of bank finance. Since at that time, there was scarcity of banks resources, the Committee was also asked to suggest norms for carrying current assets in different industries so that bank finance was not drawn more than the minimum required level. The Committee was also asked to devise an information system that would provide, periodically, operational data, business forecasts, production plan and resultant credit needs of units. Chore Committee, which was appointed later, further refined the approach to working capital assessment. The MPBF method is the fall out of the recommendations made by Tandon and Chore Committee.Regarding approach to lending: the committee suggested three methods for assessment of working capital requirements. First Method of lending: According to this method, Banks would finance up to a max. of 75% of the working capital gap (WCG= the total current assets - current liabilities other than bank borrowing) and the balance 25 % of the WCG considered as margin is to come out of long term source i.e. owned funds and term borrowings. This will give rise to a minimum current ratio of 1.17:1. The difference of (1.17-1) represents the borrowers margin which is popularly known as Net Working Capital (NWC) of the unit Second Method of lending: As per the 2nd method Bank will finance maximum up to 75% of total current assets (TCA) & Borrowers has to provide a minimum of 25% of total current assets as the margin out of long term sources. This will give a minimum current ratio of 1.33:1 Third Method of lending: Same as 2nd method, but excluding core current assets from total assets and the core current assets is financed out of long term funds. The term core current assets refers to the absolute minimum level of investment in current assets, which is required at all times to carry out minimum level of business activity. The current ratio is further improved i.e. 1.79: 1

(In Rs lacs)

Calculating NWC First method of lending Total CA Less: CL Bank Borrowing Second method of lending 370 Total CA 150 Less: 25% of CA Third method of lending 370 Total CA 92 Less: core CA from LT 370 95 275 Working Capital Gap 25% of WCG from long term sources MPBF Current ratio 220 55 165 MPBF 1.17: 1 Current ratio Less: CL - Bank Borrowing 150 Less: 25% from LTS Less: CL Bank Borrowing 128 MPBF 1.33: 1 Current ratio 69 150 56 1.79: 1

The above example shows that the contribution of margin by the borrower increases when financing is shifted from First method to Second method which is known to be stringent from borrower point of view (Third method was not accepted by RBI).

3.

Projected Balance Sheet Method (PBS)

The PBS method of assessment will be applicable to all borrowers who are engaged in manufacturing, services and trading activities who require fund based working capital finance of Rs. 25 lacs and above. In case of SSI borrowers, who require working capital credit limit up to Rs. 5 cr, the limit shall be computed on the basis of Nayak Committee formula as well as that based on production and operating cycle of the unit and the higher of the two may be sanctioned.. The assessment will be based on the borrowers projected balance sheet, the funds flow planned for current/ next year and examination of the profitability, financial parameters etc. unlike the MPBF method, it will not be necessary in this method to fix or compute the working capital finance on the basis of a stipulated minimum level of liquidity (Current Ratio). The working capital requirement worked out is based on the following: i. ii. CMA assessment method is continued with certain modifications. Analysis of the Profit and Loss account, Balance Sheet, Funds flow etc. for the past periods is done to examine the profitability, financial position, and financial management etc of the business. iii. Scrutiny and validation of the projected income and expenses in the business and projected changes in the financial position (sources and uses of funds). This is carried out to examine whether these parameters are acceptable from the angle of liquidity, overall gearing, efficiency of operations etc. In the PBS method, the borrowers total business operations, financial position, management capabilities etc. are analysed in detail to assess the working capital finance required and to evaluate the overall risk. The assessment procedure is as follows: i. ii. iii. iv. v. Collection of financial information from the borrower Classification of current assets / current liabilities Verification of projected levels of inventory/ receivables/ sundry creditors Evaluation of liquidity in the business operation Validation of bank finance sought

7.2 ASSESSMENT OF TERM LOANS


vi. Term Loans are generally granted to finance capital expenditure, i.e. for acquisition of land, building and plant and machinery, required for setting up a new industrial undertaking or expansion/diversification of an existing one and also for acquisition of movable fixed assets. Term Loans are also given for modernization, renovation, etc. to improve the product quality or increase the productivity and profitability. vii. The basic difference between short-term facilities and term loans is that short-term facilities are granted to meet the gap in the working capital and are intended to be liquidated by realization of assets, whereas term loans are given for acquisition of fixed assets and have to be liquidated from the surplus cash generated out of earnings. They are not intended to be paid out of the sale of the fixed assets given as security for the loan. This makes it necessary to adopt a different approach in examining the application of the borrowers for term credits. viii. For the assessment to Term Loan Techno Economic Feasibility Study is done. The success of a feasibility study is based on the careful identification and assessment of all of the important issues for business success. A detailed Project Report is submitted by an entrepreneur, prepared by a approved agency or a consultancy organization. Such report provides in-depth details of the project requesting finance. It includes the technical aspects, Managerial Aspect, the Market Condition and Projected performance of the company. It is necessary for the appraising officer to cross check the information provided in the report for determining the worthiness of the project. ix. The feasibility study is a part of Credit Appraisal process and the same is discussed in the following chapter.

7.3 BASEL ACCORD & RISK MANAGEMENT


The Basel accord/accords refer to the banking supervision accords namely Basel I and Basel II issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). BASEL I ACCORD The 1988 Basel Accord primarily addressed banking in the sense of deposit taking and lending. The main focus was Credit Risk. It described the strength of the Bank as measured by the Capital employed. Accordingly it put a minimum level of capital adequacy (Capital to Credit Risk Weighted Assets ratio) at 8%. Basel I allocated 4 risk weights i.e. 0%, 20, 50% and 100% to different exposure types, based on the risk perceived on the exposure types under the credit portfolio. Basel I provided a set norm for capital allocation which helped many banks to allocate capital to counter the risks faced by them. CRAR = Capital Risk Weighted Assets (Credit Risk+ Market Risk +Operational Risk) Paid Up Equity Capital + Statutory Reserves + Other disclosed free reserves + Capital Reserves representing surplus arising out of sale proceeds of Assets + Innovative Perpetual Debt instruments Revaluation Reserves (at a discount of 55%) + General Provisions and Loss Reserves + Subordinated Debt + Instruments Hybrid Debt Capital

Tier I Capital CAPITAL Tier II Capital

Risk Weighted Assets Basel I introduced the concept of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA). All the assets of a bank (advances, investments, fixed assets etc.) carry certain amount of risk. In proportion to the quantum of this risk, bank must maintain capital. Quantification of risk is done in percentage (0%, 20%, 50% etc.). Exposure when multiplied with these percentages gives risk based value of assets. These assets are also called Risk Weighted Assets (RWA).

BASEL II ACCORD Banking has changed dramatically since the Basel I document of 1988. Advances in risk management and the increasing complexity of financial activities / instruments prompted international supervisors to review the appropriateness of regulatory capital standards under Basel I. To meet this requirement, the Basel I accord was amended and refined which came out as the Basel II document. The Basel II document is structured into three parts. Each part is called as a pillar. Thus these three parts constitute three pillars of Basel II. This pillar is compatible with the credit risk, market risk and operational risk. The regulatory capital will be focused on these three risks This pillar gives the bank responsibility to exercise the best ways to manage the risk specific to that bank. It also casts responsibility on the supervisors to review and validate banks risk measurement models. This pillar is on market discipline is used to leverage the influence that other market players can bring

8.1 INTRODUCTION
Effectiveness of Credit Management in the bank is highlighted by the quality of its loan portfolio. Every Bank is striving hard to ensure that its credit portfolio is healthy and that Non Performing Assets are kept at lowest possible level, as both of these factors have direct impact on its profitability. In the present scenario efficient project appraisal has assumed a great importance as it can check and prevent induction of weak accounts to our loan portfolio. All possible steps need to be taken to strengthen pre sanction appraisal as always Prevention is better than Cure. With the opening up of the economy rapid changes are taking place in the technology and financial sector exposing banks to greater risks, which can be broadly classified as under: Government regulations and policies, availability of infrastructure facilities, Industry Rating, Industry Scenario & Outlook, Technology Up gradation, availability of inputs, product obsolescence, etc. Operating efficiency, competition faced from the units engaged in similar products, demand and supply position, cost of labor, cost of raw material and other inputs, pricing of product, surplus available, marketing, etc.

Background, integrity and market standing/ reputation of promoters, organizational set up and management hierarchy, expertise/competence of persons holding key position in the organization, delegation and decentralization of authority, achievement of targets, track record in execution of project, debt repayment, industry relations etc. Financial strength/standing of the promoters, reliability and reasonableness of projections, past financial performance, reliability of operational data and financial ratios, adequacy of provisioning for bad debts, qualifying remarks of auditors/inspectors etc.

Financial Risks

In light of the foregoing risks, the banks appraisal methodology should keep pace with ever changing economic environment. The appraisal system aims to determine the credit needs/requirements of the borrower taking into account the financial resources of the client. The

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 26

Credit appraisal in PNB

end objective of the appraisal system is to ensure that there is no under - financing or over financing. Following are the aspects, which need to be scrutinized and analyzed while appraising:

8.2 MARKET ANALYSIS


(Demand & Potential)

The market demand and potential is to be examined for each product item and its variants/substitutes by taking into account the selling price of the products to be marketed vis-avis prices of the competing products/substitutes, discount structure, arrangement made for after sale service, competitors' status and their level of operation with regard to production and products and distribution channels being used etc. Critical analysis is required regarding size of the market for the product(s) both local and export, based on the present and expected future demand in relation to supply position of similar products and availability of the other substitutes as also consumer preferences, practices, attitudes, requirements etc. Further, the buy-back arrangements under the foreign collaboration, if any, and influence of Government policies also needs to be considered for projecting the demand. Competition from imported goods, Government Import Policy and Import duty structure also need to be evaluated.

8.3 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS


In a dynamic market, the product, its variants and the product-mix proposed to be manufactured in terms of its quality, quantity, value, application and current taste/trend requires thorough investigation. Location and Site Based on the assessment of factors of production, markets, Govt. policies and other factors, Location (which means the broad area) and Site (which signifies specific plot of land) selected for the Unit with its advantages and disadvantages, if any, should be such that overall cost is minimized. It is to be seen that site selected has adequate availability of infrastructure facilities viz. Power, Water, Transport, Communication, state of information technology etc. and is in
Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 27

Credit appraisal in PNB

agreement with the Govt. policies. The adequacy of size of land and building for carrying out its present/proposed activity with enough scope for accommodating future expansion needs to be judged. Raw Material The cost of essential/major raw materials and consumables required their past and future price trends, quality/properties, their availability on a regular basis, transportation charges, Govt. policies regarding regulation of supplies and prices require to be examined in detail. Further, cost of indigenous and imported raw material, firm arrangements for procurement of the same etc. need to be assessed. Plant & Machinery, Plant Capacity and Manufacturing Process The selection of Plant and Machinery proposed to be acquired whether indigenous or imported has to be in agreement with required plant capacity, principal inputs, investment outlay and production cost as also with the machinery and equipment already installed in an existing unit, while for the new unit it is to be examined whether these are of proven technology as to its performance. The technology used should be latest and cost effective enabling the unit to compete in the market. Purchase of reconditioned/old machinery is to be dealt in terms of laid down guidelines. Compatibility of plant and machinery, particularly, in respect of imported technology with quality of raw material is to be kept in view. Also plant and machinery and other equipments needed for various utility services, their supply position, specification, price and performance as also suppliers' credentials, and in case of collaboration, collaborators' present and future support requires critical analysis. Plant capacity and the concept of economic size has a major bearing on the present and future plans of the entrepreneur(s) and should be related to the availability of raw material, product demand, product price and technology. The selected process of manufacturing indicating the adequacy, availability and suitability of technology to be used along with plant capacity, manufacturing process needs to studied in detail with capacities at various stages of production being such that it facilitates optimum utilization and ensures future expansion/ debottlenecking, as and when required. It is also to be ensured that

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 28

Credit appraisal in PNB

arrangements are made for inspection at intermediate/final stages of production for ensuring quality of goods on successful commencement of production and completion, wherever required.

8.4 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS


The aspects which need to be analyzed under this head should include cost of project, means of financing, cost of production, break-even analysis, financial statements as also profitability/funds flow projections, financial ratios, sensitivity analysis which are discussed as under: Cost of Project & Means of Financing a. The major cost components of any project are land and building including transfer, registration and development charges as also plant and machinery, equipment for auxiliary services, including transportation, insurance, duty, clearing, loading and unloading charges etc. It also involves consultancy and know-how expenses which are payable to foreign collaborators or consultants who are imparting the technical know-how. Recurring annual royalty payment is not reflected under this head but is accounted for under the profitability statements. Further, preliminary expenses, such as, cost of incorporation of the Company, its registration, preparation of feasibility report, market surveys, pre-operative expenses like salary, travelling, start up expenses, mortgage expenses incurred before commencement of commercial production also form part of cost of project. Also included in it are capital issue expenses which can be in the form of brokerage, commission, advertisement, printing, stationery etc. Finally, provisions for contingencies to meet any unforeseen expenses, such as, price escalation or any other expense which have been inadvertently omitted like margin for working capital requirements required to complete the production cycle, interest during construction period, etc. are also part of capital cost of project. It is to be ensured while appraising the project that cost and various estimates given are realistic and there is no under/over estimation. Further, these cost components should be supported by proper quotations, specifications and justifications of land, machinery and know-how expenses etc. ii. Besides Banks loan, the project cost is normally financed by bringing capital by the promoters and shareholders in the form of equity, debentures, unsecured long term loans and
Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 29

Credit appraisal in PNB

deposits raised from friends and relatives which are not repayable till repayment of Bank's loan. Resources are raised for financing project by raising term loans from Institutions/Banks which are repayable over a period of time, deferred term credits secured from suppliers of machinery which are repayable in installments over a period of time. The above is an illustrative list, as the promoters have now started raising funds through Euro-issues, Foreign Currency loans, premium on capital issues, etc. which are sometimes comparatively cheap means of finance. Subsidies and development loans provided by the Central/State Government in notified backward districts to attract entrepreneurs are also means of financing a project. It is to be ascertained that requirement of finance has been properly tied-up for unhindered implementation of a project. The financing structure accepted must be in consonance with generally accepted levels along with adequate Promoters' stake. investigated. In case of project finance, the promoter/borrower may bring in upfront his contribution (other than funds to be provided through internal generation) and the branches should commence its disbursement after the stipulated funds are brought in by the promoter/borrower. A condition to this effect should be stipulated by the sanctioning authority in case of project finance, on case to case basis depending upon the resourcefulness and capacity of the promoter to contribute the same. It should be ensured that at any point of time, the promoters contribution should not be less than the proportionate share. The resourcefulness, willingness and capacity of promoter to contribute the same have also to be

Profitability Statement The profitability statement which is also known as `Income and Expenditure Statement' is prepared after considering the net sales figure and details of direct costs/expenses relating to raw material, wages, power, fuel, consumable stores/spares and other manufacturing expenses to
Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 30

Credit appraisal in PNB

arrive at a figure of gross profit. Thereafter, all other expenses like salaries, office expenses, packing, selling/distribution, interest, depreciation and any other overhead expenses and taxes are taken into account to arrive at the figure of net profit. The projections of profit/loss are prepared for a period covering the repayment of term loans. The economic appraisal includes scrutinizing all the items of cost, and examining the assumptions, if any, to ensure that these are realistic and achievable. There should not be any optimism or pessimism in working out profitability projections since even a little change in the product-mix from non-remunerative to remunerative or vice-versa can distort the picture. While preparing profitability projections, the past trends of performance in an industry and other environmental factors influencing the cost and revenue items should also be considered objectively. Generally speaking, a unit may be considered as financially viable, progressive and efficient if it is able to earn enough profits not only to service its debts timely but also for future development/growth.

Break-Even Analysis Analysis of break-even point of a business enterprise would help in knowing the level of output and sales at which the business enterprise just breaks even i.e. there is neither profit nor loss. A business earns profit if it operates at a level higher than the break-even level or break-even point. If, on the other hand, production is below this level, the business would incur loss. The breakeven point in an algebraic equation can be put as under:

Break-even point
(Volume or Units)

Total Fixed Cost / (Sales price per unit - Variable Cost per unit) (Total Fixed Cost x Sales) / (Sales - Variable Costs)

Break-even point
(Sales in rupees)

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 31

Credit appraisal in PNB

The fixed costs include all those costs which tend to remain the same up to a certain level of production while variable costs are those costs which tend to change in proportion with the volume of production. As regards unit sales price, it is generally the same for all levels of output. The break-even analysis can help in making vital decisions relating to fixation of selling price make or buy decision, maximizing production of the item giving higher contribution etc. Further, the break-even analysis can help in understanding the impact of important cost factors, such as, power, raw material, labor, etc. and optimizing product-mix to improve project profitability. Fund-Flow Statement A fund-flow statement is often described as a Statement of Movement of Funds or where got: where gone statement. It is derived by comparing the successive balance sheets on two specified dates and finding out the net changes in the various items appearing in the balance sheets. A critical analysis of the statement shows the various changes in sources and applications (uses) of funds to ultimately give the position of net funds available with the business for repayment of the loans. A projected Fund Flow Statement helps in answering the under mentioned points. How much funds will be generated by internal operations/external sources? How the funds during the period are proposed to be deployed? Is the business likely to face liquidity problems?

Balance Sheet Projections The financial appraisal also includes study of projected balance sheet which gives the position of assets and liabilities of a unit at a particular future date. In other words, the statement helps to analyze as to what an enterprise owns and what it owes at a particular point of time.

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 32

Credit appraisal in PNB

An appraisal of the projected balance sheet data of the unit would be concerned with whether the projections are realistic looking to various aspects relating to the same industry.

Financial Ratios While analyzing the financial aspects of project, it would be advisable to analyze the important financial ratios over a period of time as it may tell us a lot about a unit's liquidity position, managements' stake in the business, capacity to service the debts etc. The financial ratios which are considered important are discussed as under: Ratio Formula Remarks There cannot be a rigid rule to a satisfactory debtequity ratio, lower the ratio higher is the degree of protection enjoyed by the creditors. These days the debt equity ratio of 1.5:1 is considered reasonable. It, however, is higher in respect of capital intensive 1 Debt-Equity Ratio Debt (Term Liabilities) Equity
(Where, Equity = Share capital, free reserves, premium on shares, , etc. after adjusting loss balance)

projects. But it is always desirable that owners have a substantial stake in the project. Other features like quality of management should be kept in view while agreeing to a less favorable ratio. In financing highly capital intensive projects like infrastructure, cement, etc. the ratio could be considered at a higher level. This ratio of 1.5 to 2 is considered reasonable. A very high ratio may indicate the need for lower schedule. This ratio provides a measure of the ability of an enterprise to service its debts i.e. Annual interest on long term debt + Repayment `interest' and `principal repayment' besides indicating the margin of safety. The ratio may vary

A rising trend of the ratio Sales5 Tangible Assets Ratio reveals that borrower has been making efficient Sales Total Assets - Intangible Assets utilization of his assets. However, caution needs to be exercised when fixed assets are old and depreciated, as in such cases the ratio tends to be high because the value of the denominator of the ratio is very low. Higher the ratio greater the short term liquidity. This ratio is indicative of short term financial position of a business enterprise. It provides margin 6 Current Ratio Current Assets Current Liabilities as well as it is measure of the business enterprise to pay-off the current liabilities as they mature and its capacity to withstand sudden reverses by the strength of its liquid position.

This ratio is indicative of the efficiency with which Intangible Assets) This ratio gives a view of borrower's capital structure. If the ratio shows a decreasing trend, it indicates that the borrower is relying more on his own funds and less on outside funds and vice versa circumspection when it is less than 1.5.

the total capital is turned over as compared to other units in similar lines.

Internal Rate of Return The discount rate often used in capital budgeting that makes the net present value of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. Higher a project's IRR the more desirable it is to undertake the project. IRR should be higher than the Cost of the project (interest rate in case of project financing)

Sensitivity Analysis While preparing and appraising projects certain assumptions are made in respect of certain critical/sensitive variables like selling price/cost price per unit of production, product-mix, plant capacity utilization, sales etc. which are assigned a `VALUE' after estimating the range of variation of such variables. The `VALUE' so assumed and taken into consideration for arriving at the profitability projections is the `MOST LIKELY VALUE'. Sensitivity Analysis is a systematic approach to reduce the uncertainties caused by such assumptions made. The Sensitivity Analysis helps in arriving at profitability of the project wherein critical or sensitive elements are identified which are assigned different values and the values assigned are both optimistic and pessimistic such as increasing or reducing the sale price/sale volume, increasing or reducing the cost of inputs etc. and then the project viability is ascertained. The critical variables can then be thoroughly examined by generally selecting the pessimistic options so as to make possible improvements in the project and make it operational on viable lines even in the adverse circumstances.

8.5 MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATION ANALYSIS

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 35

Credit appraisal in PNB

Appraisal of project would not be complete till it throws enough light on the person(s) behind the project i.e. management and organization of the unit. It is seen that some projects may fail not because these are not viable but because of the ineffectiveness of the management and the organization in controlling various functions like production, marketing, finance, personnel, etc. The appraisal report should highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the management by commenting on the background, qualifications, experience, and capability of the promoter, key management personnel, and effectiveness of the internal control systems, relation with labor working conditions, wage structure, and the other assigned essential functions. report should also comment on their performance in such concerns. A business is more vulnerable if decision making in all the functional areas rests with a particular person, in other words, `one man show'. Further, the management and the organization should be conducive to the size and type of business. In case it is not so, it should be ensured that professional managers are inducted to strengthen the organization. In case the promoter(s) have interest, in other concerns as Proprietor or Partner or Director, the appraisal

To judge whether the project is viable, i.e. it can generate adequate surplus for servicing its debts within a reasonable period of time and still left with some funds for future development. This involves taking an over-all view to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the project. It should also be analysed to see whether the management and organisation can prove effective for successful implementation of the project.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

9.1 CREDIT RISK


Credit risk means the possibility of loss associated with diminution in the credit quality of borrowers. In a banks 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.

9.2 CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN PNB


A comprehensive credit risk management system, which is in place in the bank, encompasses the following processes: Identification of Credit Risk Measurement of Credit Risk Grading of Credit Risk Reporting and analysis of rating related data Control of Credit Risk

CREDIT RISK IDENTIFICATION In order to take informed credit decisions, it is necessary to identify the areas of credit risk in each borrower as well as each industry. Risk Management Division HO, in coordination with other HO divisions involved in disbursal of credit and also the risk management departments of various
Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 41

Credit appraisal in PNB

zonal offices identifies these risks areas and develops necessary tools and processes to measure and monitor the risk. CREDIT RISK MEASUREMENT In order to measure the credit risk in banks portfolio, the bank has developed the following models: Credit Risk Rating Model Small 2 Loans Small Loans Mid Corporate Large Corporate Non Banking Financial Corporation Model New Business Model New Project Model Total limits Applicable from the Bank Above Rs. 20 lacs and up to Rs. 50lacs Above Rs. 50 lacs and up to Rs. 5crores Above Rs.5 crores and up to Rs. 15crores Above Rs. 15 crores
(irrespective of any limit)

Below Rs. 5 crores Above Rs. 5 crores

The credit risk rating models have been developed with a view to provide a standard system for assigning a credit risk rating to all the borrowers on the basis of the overall credit risk involved in them. Inputs to the models are the financial, management, business and conduct of account, industry information. The evaluation of a borrower is done by assessment on various objective/subjective parameters. The model evaluates the credit risk rating of a borrower on a scale of AAA to D with AAA indicating minimum risk and D indicating maximum risk. The credit risk-rating models incorporate therein all possible risk factors, which are important for determining the credit quality/ rating of a borrower. These risks could be: Internal and specific to the company, Associated with the industry in which the company is operating or Associated with the entire economy and can influence the repayment capacity and/

or willingness of the company.


Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 42

Credit appraisal in PNB

Evaluation methodology under rating models The scores are assigned to each of the parameters on a scale of 0 to 4 with 0 being very

poor and 4 being excellent. The scoring of some of these parameters is subjective while for some others it is done on the basis of pre-defined objective criteria. The scores given to the individual parameters multiplied by allocated weights are then

aggregated and a composite score for the company is arrived at, in percentage terms. Higher the score obtained by a company, the better is its credit rating. Weights have been assigned to different parameters based on their importance. Weights assigned to different parameters have been loaded in the software. After allocating/evaluating scores to all the parameters, the aggregate score is calculated and displayed by the software. The overall percentage score obtained is then translated into a rating on a scale from AAA

to D according to a pre-defined range of scores. Wherever a particular parameter is not applicable, no score should be given and the

parameter should be made Not Applicable. For multi-divisional companies, which are involved in more than one industrial activity,

evaluation should be done separately for each business. However, the management evaluation, conduct of account and financial evaluation will be done on a common basis. In such cases, for the business section, each business should be evaluated and scored separately, taking into account the different industrial activity involved.

In order to adopt internal rating based approaches (IRB) for credit risk, Basel II has placed certain minimum requirements which inter-alia require, validation of rating system, process and estimation of all relevant risk components. Banks must regularly compare realized default rates with estimated probability of default (PD) of each grade and able to demonstrate to its supervisor (RBI), that the internal validation process enable it to assess the performance of internal rating and risk estimation system consistently and meaningfully. In view of above fact, not only rating but consistent practices in evaluation of credit risk rating as well as evolving and updating robust data on various risk components is must for adopting IRB approaches.

POST SANCTION FOLLOW UP OF LOANS

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 46

Credit appraisal in PNB

Supervision and Follow-up of bank credit has assumed considerable significance particularly after introduction of new norms of assets classification, provisioning and derecognition of interest income on NPAs, affecting profitability. System of supervision and follow up can be defined as the systematic evaluation of the performance of a borrowal account to ensure that it operates at viable level and, if problems arise, to suggest practical solutions. It helps in keeping a watch on the conduct and operational/financial performance of the borrowal accounts. Further, it also helps in detecting signals/symptoms of sickness and deteriorations, if any, taking place in the conduct of the account for initiating timely corrective actions to check slippage of accounts to NPA category. The goals and objectives of monitoring may be classified into fundamental and supplementary goals. Fundamental goals help a bank to ensure safety of funds lent to an enterprise while, supplementary goals are directed towards keeping abreast of problems arising out of changes in both the internal and the external environment for initiating timely corrective actions. Some of the important goals of monitoring are listed as under: i. To keep a watch on the project during implementation stage so that there are no time & cost overruns. ii. To ensure that the funds released are utilized for the purpose for which these have been provided and there is no diversion of such funds. To evaluate operational and financial results, such as production, sales, profit/loss, flow of funds, etc. and comparing these with the projections/estimate changes in both the internal and the external environment for initiating timely corrective actions.

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

11.1 PNBs LOAN POLICY


11.1.1 OBJECTIVE The Credit Management & Risk Policy of the bank at the macro level is an embodiment of the Banks approach to understand, measure and manage the credit risk and aims at ensuring sustained growth of healthy loan portfolio while dispensing the credit and managing the risk. This would entail reducing exposures in high risk areas, emphasizing more on the promising industries / productive sectors/ segments of the economy, optimizing the return by striking balance between the risk and the return on assets and striving towards maintaining/improving market share.

11.1.2 BASIC TENETS OF THE POLICY All loan facilities considered only after obtaining loan application from the borrower and compilation of Confidential Report on them and the guarantor. The borrowers should have the desired background, experience/expertise to run their business successfully

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 49

Credit appraisal in PNB

Project for which the finance is granted should be technically feasible and economically/commercially viable i.e. it should be able to generate enough surplus so as to service the debts within a reasonable period of time.

Cost of the project and means of financing the same should be properly assessed and tied up. Both, under-financing and over- financing can have an adverse impact on the successful implementation of the project.

Borrowers should be financially sound, enjoy good market reputation and must have their stake in the business i.e. they should possess adequate liquid resources to contribute to the margin requirements.

Loans should be sanctioned by the competent sanctioning authority as per the delegated loaning powers and should be disbursed only after execution of all the required documents.

Projects financed must be closely monitored during implementation stage to avoid time and cost overruns and thereafter till the adjustment of the bank's loan.

The policy sets out minimum or benchmark lending rate, BPLR = 11 % The policy lays down norms for takeover of advances from other banks/ financial institutions

As a matter of policy the bank does not take over any Non-performing Asset (NPA) from other banks

12. In cases where deviations from norms/past trends are warranted, it should be ensured that these are justified and specific comments in this behalf are incorporated in the notes placed before the competent authority for sanction. 13. Specific guidelines issued by RBI/HO for sanctioning credit limits for financing certain specific activities such as diamond exports, leasing and hire-purchase, tea, sugar and computer software industries will continue to be in force.

11.2.3 RISK RATING OF THE BORROWER Punjab National Bank uses a system of internal ratings for the assessment of the credit quality and risk profile of its borrowers. An internal rating refers to a summary indicator of the risk inherent in an individual credit quality in an individual credit. Ratings typically embody an assessment of the risk of loss due to failure by a given borrower to pay as promised, based on consideration of relevant counterparty and facility characteristics. A rating system includes the conceptual methodology, management process, and systems that play a role in the assignment of a rating.

Credit risk rating tools at Punjab national bank With respect to Punjab National Bank, credit risk rating has been developed with a view to provide a standard system for assigning a credit rating to the borrowers of the bank according to their risk profile. The management of credit risk at PNB includes a continuing review of credit limits, policies and procedures; the approval of specific exposures and workout situations; the constant re-evaluation of the loan portfolio and the sufficiency of provisions thereof. PNB was also one of the first banks to develop their own credit models to ease up their way to risk management, PNB Trac -- for its entire category of lending. The loans with exposure of above Rs 20 lacs have been rated individually, while loans with exposure under Rs 20 lakh have been rated segment-wise on portfolio basis as per the terms of Basel II accord. This means that the bank would be able to do credit ratings on its own for its lendings.

Inputs (parameters) to PNB Trac The rating tool is designed to cater all the industry. The difference between ratings of two borrowers lie in the limits he/she is seeking from the bank and the industry of the same. There are broad categories defined in every model that require different parameters or inputs (both quantitative and subjective) depending on the industry the borrower serves. To explain the above statement an example of the inputs is described below.

How the Rating is done 1. The scores are assigned to each of the parameters of each of the broad category in the different sections on a scale of 0 to 4 up to two decimal points with 0 being very poor and 4 being excellent. The scoring of some of these parameters is subjective while for some others it is done on the basis of pre-defined objective criteria. 2. The scores given to the individual parameters multiply by allocated weights are aggregated and a composite score for the company is arrived at in percentage terms. Higher the score obtained by a company, better is its credit rating. Weights have been assigned to different parameters based on their importance. Example: Factor Financial Evaluation Business & Industry Evaluation Management Evaluation Conduct of Account AGGREGATE SCORE The Aggregate Score of 61.75 refers to PNB- ATHIS MEANS THE RATING OF THE BORROWER IS PNB A11.2.4 DETERMINATION OF THE APPLICABLE RATE OF INTEREST

Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) Bank has determined Benchmark PLR (BPLR) after taking into account actual cost of funds, operating expenses and a minimum margin to cover regulatory requirement of provisioning / capital charge and profit margin. At present, BPLR has been fixed at 11%. BPLR is the reference rate for determination of rate of interest for the borrowers accounts.

Sub-BPLR Lending In order to remain competitive in the market, sub-BPLR lending is also permitted. The sub-BPLR lending lies in the vested powers of CMD/ED/GMs (Head Office)/Circle Heads. These powers are defined in the Internal Circular of the bank, which eventually depends on the rank of the officer and the credit risk rating of the borrower. For instance:
i. ii.

Sub-BPLR Lending permitted by CMD: Sub-BPLR Lending permitted by ED:

up to 5.50% below BPLR up to 3.00% below BPLR

iii. Sub-BPLR Lending permitted by Circle Heads: up to 1.00% below BPLR

Applicable Rate of Interest (ROI) The BPLR attracts further a term premia of 0.50% for term loans having a repayment reschedule over 3 years. Also the applicable ROI depends upon the credit risk rating and the Industry of the borrower. RBI also grants certain rebates or lower ROI for lending to few sectors, like Agriculture, SME etc. to boost the sector and encouraging more participation. Example: for Advances to NBFCs above Rs. 20 lacs

If the proposal is considered viable and accepted by the bank then proper account in name of the borrower is created. The account is reviewed from time to time in order to know whether the company has met with all the terms & conditions or not, whether the interest is being paid on time or not, whether there is overdraft in accounts or the funds are not utilized by the company at all, whether the banks interest income is increasing or not. Two of the most used methods for post sanction follow up are:

1. PREVENTIVE MONITORING SYSTEM (PMS) Objectives of PMS The objective of PMS is to track & evaluate the health of borrowers account on a continuous basis and detect: Unsatisfactory/adverse signals/indicators at an early stage in a comprehensive manner. Thorough probe into reasons behind observed signals and analysis thereof. Speedy corrective/remedial actions/steps to prevent the account from becoming NPA as well as to minimize the loan losses. Preventive Monitoring System consists of two parts: i. PMS Index and Rank PMS Index is a numerical index consisting of 29 indicators Parameters grouped into 6 sections. Penalty rates (weights) in the form of numerical values have been assigned to each indicator (parameter) depending upon their degree of impact on health of an account. The score assigned to any parameter is stored for last one year at any point of time, which is known as Cumulative score. The section-wise maximum of cumulative scores is to be summed up to arrive at PMS Index Score. Based on PMS Index Scores a scale of 1 to 10 has been devised, which is known as PMS Ranking Scale. The PMS Rank indicates the state of health of an account. The lower the PMS Rank, better the health of account and vice-versa.

ii.

PMS Report PMS Report, which has eight parts, describes brief profile of the borrower, position of accounts, details of signals contributing to PMS Index Score, reasons behind adverse signals and proposes corrective/ remedial steps with time frame.

2. QUARTERLY MONITORING SYSTEM (QMS) Bank has prescribed the QMS system for monitoring performance of big borrower accounts enjoying working capital facilities of Rs. 1crore & above from the banking system. QMS includes the submission of data on the prescribed formats depending upon the economic activity of the borrower. Under this system financial and operational information/ data is required to be submitted in two different sets of formats i. QMS I This form is required to be submitted within six weeks from the close of the quarter to which it relates. It gives information about the operations of the unit and its performance for the quarter, also giving reasons for non-achievement of sales/production targets. ii. QMS II This form is required to be submitted within two months from the close of the half-year to which it relates. In addition to providing comparative position of the actuals vis-a-vis the projections accepted at the time of sanction relating to the operations of the unit, this form also indicates the `SOURCES' and `USES' of the funds generated by the unit, during the half year. Critical analysis of this form can reveal the diversion of short-term funds for long term uses.

CONCLUSION& RECOMMENDATIONS

CONCLUSION

The study at PNB gave a vast learning experience to me and has helped to enhance my knowledge. During the study I learnt how the theoretical financial analysis aspects are used in practice during the working capital finance and term loan assessment. I have realized during my project that a credit analyst must own multi-disciplinary talents like financial, technical as well as legal know-how. The credit appraisal for business loans has been devised in a systematic way. It is a process of appraising the credit worthiness of loan applicants. Thus it extremely important for the lender bank to assess the risk associated with credit; thereby ensure the security for the funds deposited

Jagan Institute of Management Studies,Delhi 70

Credit appraisal in PNB

by the depositors. There are clear guidelines on how the credit analyst or lending officer has to analyze a loan proposal. It includes phase-wise analysis which consists of 6 phases: 1. Financial statement analysis 2. Working capital and its assessment techniques 3. Techno Economic Feasibility Analysis 4. Credit risk assessment 5. Documentation 6. Loan administration Punjab National Banks adoptions of the Projected Balance Sheet method (CMA) of assessment procedures are based on sound principles of lending. This method of assessment has certain flexibility required to avoid any rigid approach to fixing quantum of finance. The PBS method have been rationalized and simplified to facilitate complete flexibility in decision-making. To ensure asset quality, proper risk assessment right at the beginning, is extremely important. That is why Credit Risk Management system is an essential ingredient of the Credit Appraisal exercise. PNB has formulated a Credit Risk Rating model, PNB Trac. It considers important parameters like profitability, repayment capacity, efficiency of the unit, historical / industry comparisons etc depending on the industry. PNB Trac is one of the best rating models present till date.

FINDINGS

After completing the entire project at Punjab National Bank the following key findings as mentioned below were observed.

1. At Punjab National Bank, Circle Office the priority to appraise a proposal was given to new or fresh clients over the existing clients presenting proposals for renewal 2. Ratings, as being performed at PNB, are done once a year. Therefore, the ratings do not take into account short term drastic changes like price level changes (which are an issue with any method based on accounting statements, since annual reports are based on historical cost basis of accounting and other changes like sudden mishap/ of the counterparty are not readily accounted for by the rating system due to long lag between repeat ratings on the same account. 3. Some of the parameters in Business and industry evaluation are based on the information provided by company, which in some cases may not be sufficient. No specific guidelines are followed in such cases. Also, some of the parameters here may be rendered redundant in some cases and may push up/ push down the rating needlessly in these cases.

4. The present risk rating model does not have any mechanism to prioritize certain sectors of the economy. There are certain sector in the economy where risk spread is low and certain sectors where spread of risk is high like real estate. Also, there are certain infrastructural projects which need to be prioritized. The risk rating model is not flexible to incorporate all these issues. 5. The BPLR system will soon be replaced by Base Rate system. Banks may choose any benchmark to arrive at the Base Rate for a specific tenor that may be disclosed transparently. 6. With the deregulation of the financial sector, the ability of the banks to service the credit requirements of the SME sector depends on the underlying transaction costs, efficient recovery processes and available security. There is an immediate need for the banking sector to focus on credit and finance requirements of SMEs.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Credit Department at PNB Circle Office Delhi, works at its full potential and the staff is highly experienced and has a very strong intuitive sense. So, there is no such recommendation on the entire process. However to make the process more flexible and efficient, an electronic database should be designed carrying all the available and important information related to the proposals accepted, and it should be easily accessible to the Credit Department. This will help reduce paperwork and loss of information.

LIMITATIONS

Like any other study this study too is not free from limitations. The major limitations of the study are listed below: 1. The major limitation of this study shall be data availability as the data is proprietary and not readily shared for dissemination.

2. Also the geographical scope of the project was limited to PNB Circle Office and the loans studied were of solely of businesses established majorly in NCR

3. The credit appraisal decision are more of intuition and experience and since the time period was limited, hence best efforts were made to grasp the process as much as possible

4. Due to ever changing environment, many risks are unexpected and the remedial measures available are based on general experience from the past. Therefore risks can only be minimized cannot be erased completely. Hence, out of the various ways in which risks can be managed, none of the methods is perfect and may be very diverse even for the work in a similar situation in the future
