1.1: Introduction
Almost all of the industrial enterprises whether they are into manufacturing, trading or
service sector need bank finance in order to run the businesses. So everyone approaches
the bank at some point of time for business loan whether it is for running day to day
business or for setting up of a new project. A banker appraises the proposal and then
decides whether to lend the money or not. Some tips on what goes behind the credit
appraisal of the proposal by the banker.
Credit Appraisal It is the process of appraising the credit worthiness of a loan applicant.
Factors like age, income, number of dependents, nature of employment, continuity of
employment, repayment capacity, previous loans, credit cards, etc. are taken into account
while appraising the credit worthiness of a person. Every bank or lending institution has
its own panel of officials for this purpose.
Abhyudaya Co-op. Bank Ltd., one of the leading Urban Co-operative Banks in India,
in its outlook and approach, has the objective of progress and prosperity of all. From
a humble beginning in January 1964 as a Co-operative Credit society with a share
capital of a merely Rs.5,000/- held by 83 members, today Abhyudaya Co-op bank has
become one of the large Urban Co-operative Banks with a "Scheduled Bank" status.
The bank has been converted into a “Multi-State Scheduled Urban Co-op. Bank
“w.e.f. 11th January, 2007. The area of operation which was restricted to the State of
Maharashtra has now been extended to Karnataka State. Currently, the capital base
of the bank stands at Rs. 45.78 crores and Reserves and surpluses at Rs.671.95 crores
as on 31.03.2009. The bank has 1, 23,011 members and more than 12 lakhs depositors.
The Bank has seen a tremendous growth in deposits. The deposits of the bank are
over Rs. 3174.81 crores as on 31.03.2009, which were Rs. 2625.51 crores as at the
end of the financial year 2008. The loans and advances stood at Rs. 1856.39 crores as
on 31.03.2009. The bank had posted a net income of Rs. 92.36 crores as on

sector. The Bank has maintained a steady growth. The bank has been paying dividend
@ 15% to its members which is maximum permissible as per the MCS Act.
The Bank has launched different loan schemes tailor-made to suit the needs of
various customers. The schemes aim at providing loans for purchase or construction
of residential premises, repair/renovation of house property, purchase of car, seeking
higher education and for purchase of household consumer durable. One of the loan
schemes, viz. "Udyog Vikas Yojana" is specially designed for the benefit of small
entrepreneurs and businessmen. The procedure for sanctioning of loans under the
schemes has been simplified and relaxed with a view to attract new customers and
facilitating speedy sanction of loans. The Bank has total 75 branches including a
Mobile Bank at Navi Mumbai. Bank is committed to spread network of branches
throughout the State and provide much needed banking services to the population,

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The purpose of research is to discover answer to the questions through the application of
scientific procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden
and which has not been discovered as yet. Though each research study has its own

Research is often described as active; diligent and systematic process of inquiry aimed at
discovering, interpreting and revising facts. This intellectual investigation produces a
greater understanding of events, behaviors or theories and makes practical application
through laws and theories. In other words we can say the purpose of research is to
discover answer to the questions through the application of scientific procedures. The
main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been
discovered as yet.
Descriptive research includes survey and fact finding enquiries of different kinds. The
major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs, as it exists at
present. The main characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over
the variable; he can only report what is happening. It is also called as ex post facto
research. Most ex post facto research projects are used for descriptive studies in which
researcher seeks to measure such items as, for example, frequency of shopping,
preferences of people, or similar data. Descriptive research also includes attempts by the
researcher to discover causes even when they cannot control the variables. The methods
of research utilized in descriptive research are survey method of all kinds.

Review of Literature
Chapter: 4
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in
existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its
origins back to June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central
banking is the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took
over these responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to
commercial banking functions. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank
was nationalized and given broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14
largest commercial banks; the government nationalized the six next largest in 1980.
Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks
(that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not
have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and
38 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000
ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks
hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign
banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively
Indian Banking sector is dominated by Public sector banks (PSBs) which accounted for
72.6% of total advances for all SCBs as on 31st March 2008. PSBs have rapidly
Page8of 58
expanded their foot prints after nationalization of banks in India in 1969 and further in
1980. Although there is a restrictive entry/expansion for private and foreign banks in
India, these banks have increased their presence and business over last 5 years.
Peculiar characteristic of Indian banks unlike their western counterparts such as high
share of household savings in deposits (57.4% of total deposits), adequate capitalisation,
stricter regulations and lower leverage makes them less prone to financial crisis, as was
seen in the western world in mid FY09.
The Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) in India have shown an impressive growth
from FY04 to the mid of FY09. Total deposits, advances and net profit grew at CAGR of
19.6%, 27.4% and 20.2% respectively from FY03 to FY08. Banking sector recorded
credit growth of 33.3% in FY05 which was highest in last 2 and half decades and credit
growth in excess of 30% for three consecutive years from FY04 to FY07, which is best in
the banking industry so far. Increase in economic activity and robust primary and
secondary markets.
A significant improvement in recovering the NPAs, lowest ever increase in new NPAs
combined with a sharp increase in gross advances for SCBs translated into the best asset
quality ratio for banking sector in last two decades. Gross NPAs to gross advances ratio
for SCBs decreased from the high of 14% in FY2000 to 2.3% in FY08.
The law governing Banking Activities in India is Called “Negotiable Instruments Act
1881”. The banking activities can be classified as:
• Accepting Deposits from public / other (Deposits)
• Lending money to public (Loans)
• Transferring money from one place to another (Remittances)
• Acting as trustees
• Acting as intermediaries
• Keeping valuables in safe custody
• Collection Business
• Government Business

Banking Segment in India functions under the umbrella of Reserve Bank of India – the
regulatory, central bank. This segment broadly consists of:
Commercial Banks
Co-operative Banks
Commercial Banks:
In 1969, fourteen major commercial banks were nationalized. In 1980, six more
commercial banks were nationalized. The State Bank of India and its subsidiaries are also
own by the central government. After this amendment the existing structure has evolved
in
Public sector
Private sector
Public sector banks have either the Government of India or Reserve Bank of India as the
majority shareholder. This segment comprises of:
State Bank of India (SBI) and its subsidiaries.
Other nationalized banks.
Private sector banks consist of
Scheduled Commercial Banks
Unscheduled Banks
Scheduled commercial Banks Constitute those banks which have been included in the
Second Schedule of Reserve Bank Of India (RBI) Act, 1934. RBI in turn includes only
those banks in this schedule which satisfy the criteria laid down vide section 42 (60 of the
Act. Some co-operative banks are scheduled commercial banks albeit not all co-operative
banks are. Being a part of the second schedule confers some benefits to the bank in terms
of access to accommodation by RBI during the times of liquidity constraints.
The term Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs), though not formally defined, refers to
primary cooperative banks located in urban and semi-urban areas. These banks, till 1996,
were allowed to lend money only for non-agricultural purposes. This distinction does not
Page10of 58
hold today. These banks were traditionally centered on communities, localities work
place groups. They essentially lent to small borrowers and businesses. Today, their scope
of operations has widened considerably.
The origins of the urban cooperative banking movement in India can be traced to the
close of nineteenth century when, inspired by the success of the experiments related to
the cooperative movement in Britain and the cooperative credit movement in Germany
such societies were set up in India. Cooperative societies are based on the principles of
cooperation, - mutual help, democratic decision making and open membership.
Cooperatives represented a new and alternative approach to organization as against
proprietary firms, partnership firms and joint stock companies which represent the
dominant form of commercial organization.
The primary objective of a Co-operative bank is to encourage ‘Thrift and self help’ and to
raise resources by way of deposits. Hence the basis tenet of a Co-operative bank is to
encourage the savings habits of its members. Co-operation is definitely a school of thrift,
and co-operative saving create first the basis of funds, which are then employed for
granting credits and for securing the confidence of depositors and clients.
Another objective of co-operative banks is to lend money to those who may not have
acceptable assets to secure funds, but who is in need of it, especially to the weaker
section of the community. The resources of banks should not be given to a few chosen
Page11of 58
members. All members are entitled to get loans and an individual maximum if fixed to
avoid the monopolizing of resources by a few. While lending money, the Co-operative
banks see that they are properly used for productive purpose. Then only it would be
possible for the borrower to repay the loans in time. The Co-operative system possesses
certain qualities, which eliminate the difficulty encountered by commercial banks when
lending to small borrowers. Co-operative banks are generally local in character and they
have local feel. Therefore, lending by them is more to the needy people of the community
and hence recovery becomes easier. The aim of Co-operative lending is not to weaken a
member by making debt on unbearable burden but to help him to get rid of financial
difficulties by creating assets and to start a new economic life.
The purpose of a Co-operative bank is also to offer service to the customer at a
reasonable cost. As profit motive is eliminated, a Co-operative banker can afford to
render services at a reasonable cost. Co-operative banks been enjoying legislative support
from the government. In India, they have been working under the Co-operative Societies
Acts of the respective states and have been provided certain concessions In order to help
them to face challenges from commercial banks. They now have to pay income tax on
their income. At present, Co-operative Banks have been providing all modern banking
services comparable to that offered by any Commercial Bank.
The functions of Co-operative Banks in India are governed by the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949. The Banking Regulation Act was not applicable to Urban Co-
operative Bank till March 1966. It was made applicable to them with the ultimate
objective of protecting customers interest as large amounts of deposits of deposits were at
stake. According to section 6 of banking Regulation Act, Urban Co-operative Banks can
immediate following functions.
In addition to normal business of banking, Co-operative banks may engage in any one or
more of the following activities namely:

Present Status
The urban cooperative banking system has witnessed phenomenal growth during the
last one and a half decades. From 1307 urban cooperative banks (UCBs) in 1991, the
number of UCBs has risen to 2105 in the year 2004. Deposits have increased by over
Page13of 58
1100 percent from Rs.8600 crore to over Rs.100, 000 crore, while advances have
risen from Rs.7800 crore to over Rs.65, 000 i.e. by 733 percent during the above 15-
year period. This growth path has been possible mainly on account of the enabling
policy environment in the Post 1991 period, which encouraged setting up of new
urban cooperative banks. Further, the deregulation of interest rates, as available to
commercial banks, enabled the UCBs to mobilize vast deposits, which, together with
the liberal licensing policy propelled the growth of UCBs in terms of numbers as also
in size. This significant growth in business, which has come about in a competitive
environment was largely due to the efforts and the ability of the sector to harness
resources from the small depositors.
Thus, while the sector has shown spectacular growth during the last decade exhibiting
substantial potential for sustained growth, there are certain infirmities in the sector
that have manifested in the form of weakness of some of the entities resulting in
erosion of public confidence and causing concerns to the regulators as also to the
sector at large. There is, thus, a need to harness the benefit of rapid growth and
mitigate the risk to which individual banks and the system are exposed by providing a
regulatory and supervisory framework that will address the problems of the sector as
also the shortcomings of dual control.
account for 1523 out of 1942 banks that presently comprise the sector. Further, the
UCBs in these states account for approximately 82% of the deposits and advances of
the sector as may be seen from the table below:

Page19of 58
By the definition of the word “banking” lending constitutes the core business of any
bank. Given this prime objective of the organization, it is imperative that a bank should
have a well defined lending policy known also as loan policy or credit policy that would
set the business target and direction of credit business for the bank. Moreover, such a
policy is also necessary for laying down the framework of procedures appropriate for
achieving the desired growth and controlling and monitoring landing operations at
different level in view of sensitive nature, of the business regulatory compulsions and
safety of the bank’s funds. The loan policies should be as per the various guidelines

loan able funds, the climate of intense competition from the new private sector banks, the
need to fulfill objective assets classification norms, shrinking margins and need for

4.4: Loans Process & Credit Analysis in Banks:
Loans are the most important assets in a bank’s portfolio, sound credit analysis is
the key to making high-quality loans and managing credit risk. As very few firms have
the resources to operate their businesses on a cash basis. Most have to rely on credit just
to stay in business.

Figure 2
The above diagram shows various stages involved in the standard loan process flow.
As Shown in the diagram, credit analysis in integral and essential part of loan process.
Credit analysis is defined as ‘The process of evaluation an applicant’s loan request in
order to determine the likelihood that the borrower will live up to his/her obligations’. It
means basically it checks the credit worthiness of the borrower.
The concept of credit offers a business many benefits, but it always entails risk.
You’re caught between two crucial profit objectives. Within your bank’s credit policies,
you want to do as much as you can to grant credit – and facilitate sales. But the credit
manager is equally obliged to make tough judgments and determinations concerning
his/her customer’s credit-worthiness, to ensure that the bank is paid on time and in full.
The entire operations of the banking industry revolve around obtaining deposits and
granting loans and different credit facilities to its customers for viable projects.

31. Zonal Office Recommendations with justification in detail: The applicant
company is an old accountholder with regular account operation. They are enjoying
CC limit of Rs.200.00 lacs and import LC limit of Rs.130.00 lacs. Our bank opened
LC through HDFC Bank No.5 Rs.165.11 lacs in 2006-07 and present O/S is Rs.80.00
lacs in one revolving LC. The monthly turnover is very good at Rs.311.00 lacs. The
collateral securities by way of mortgage of residential flat and two offices are also
very good in addition to cash collaterals of Rs.23.32 lacs. However there are certain
adverse remarks of Auditors. The DP sometimes comes to negative because debtors
of about Rs.400.00 lacs are always above 90 days and are not included in the debtor’s
statement resulting in negative DP. To overcome this, we have to partly convert the
CC into WCTL repayable over a period which will cover only debtors above 90 days.
Then CC will be covered by debtors below 90 days. Since it is non priority sector
Page52of 58
advance as per our scrutiny form Tondon Committee Norm II are applied and hence
DP is further adversely affected.
Now they have started exporting the materials. As per their letter dated
17.03.2008, they have mentioned that so far they have exported 3 consignments to
Ghana. To increase the business they have applied for FBP/FBD facility of Rs.50.00
lacs for export financing.
In view of the above, we recommend –
a) Renewal of CC of Rs.100.00 lacs.
b) WCTL of Rs.100.00 lacs covering debtors above 90 days repayable in 60
EMIs.
c) Import LC renewal of Rs.130.00 lacs.
d) FBP/FBD of Rs.50.00 lacs.
Subject to continuation of bank charge on existing all securities.

Conclusion
Currently the credit policy of the Bank is reviewed periodically by taking into
account changes in political environment, economical environment and money
markets, changes in credit policy announced by the Reserve Bank of India and
Page55of 58
happening of other events to protect the interest of the Bank and to maintain
profitability.
Proper credit appraisal involving performance of client, sureties and industrial visits
helps bank to reduce its NPAs and hence to reduce its credit risks.
Bank has classified all the sectors in to five different categories such as core sector
general sectors, sensitive sectors, banned sectors and restrictive sectors.
If an individual / Business concern or any other applicant need loan from Bank, they
have to be member of the bank.
Bank use its own credit rating system, CIBIL report as well as confidential report
from other banks as per the needs to judge the credit worthiness of clients.
Recommendations
After learning the credit appraisal process at Abhyudaya Co-operative Bank and
observing the findings, I put some of my recommendations which, firmly believe,
would enhance the overall credit delivery process of the bank and experience of the
corporate clients. My suggestions are as follows:
Findings:
Currently, the processing of credit proposal is done manually by officers.
Page56of 58
Suggestion:
The processing of credit appraisal can be expedited by using suitable software that
can help the Bank in calculation of Ratios, credit rating and pricing. The Bank could
therefore make use of tools to evaluate the proposals for different interest rates and
conditions.
Findings:
The government and Reserve Bank of India have devised compromise settlement
schemes to help Banks recover non performing assets specially for genuine
borrowers. The scheme provides concession and interest waivers so that immediate
settlements can take place.
Suggestion:
There are special software available that enables the Bank and the users in respect of:
o Speedy preparation, evaluation and approval of settlement proposals.
o Availability of reliable information and systems to monitor and control the
recovery process.
Thus, such software could be installed to prepare and evaluate settlement schemes.
