PRIORITY SECTOR- All advances presently classified as Priority Sector, (as per
guidelines issued by PSFID) should be reported under this head. Advances granted

activities, which can be classified as Priority Sector should be classified under this
head.

NOTE: Attention is invited to L&A Circular No. 79 dated 04.07.2005 wherein it
has been clarified that:

Demand Loan would be a loan which is repayable on demand and in one shot
i.e. bullet repayment.
Term Loan would be a Loan which has a specified maturity which may be
payable in instalment or in bullet form. However, short term loans with
maturity up to one year be treated as demand loan and classified accordingly.
Term Loans with maturity in excess of one year shall continue to be classified
as term loan.
23
While classifying the advances as secured, the primary security should be applied
first and for the residual balance, if any, the realizable value of collateral security
should be taken into account. If the advance is still not fully covered, then, to the
extent of bank/government guarantees available, the advance should be classified
as `covered by bank/government guarantee’. The balance, if any, remaining after the
above classification, should be classified as unsecured.

Advances against supply bills, unless collaterally secured, should be
classified as unsecured even if they have been accepted by the drawee.
In suit filed cases where attachment(s) before judgment(s) has/have been
awarded, details of the present value of IPs so attached, to the extent of its
realizable value, the same can be considered as "Secured".
Amounts received by the Receiver on auction of the securities lying with
him/or the Bank (kept as FD, in the current account etc.) which will ultimately
be remitted to our Bank for appropriations in the account, should be reported

************************************************************************************************
Centralised LADDER+ system has been introduced in Bank, which uses CBS as its
source of all information pertaining to loan and non-fund accounts for asset
classification, provisioning and risk weight computation. No data entry and
modification is allowed in LADDER+ system at any level i.e. branch, circle, ZO or
:14
HO. With the implementation of LADDER+, it has been imperative that branches,
which are the sources for all types of data input in CBS, take utmost care for data
feeding during opening of a loan or non-fund account in CBS or take immediate
12
corrective measures for all existing data feeding errors. Various types of errors
/20 19
commonly made by the branches, their adverse effect on Bank’s Balance Sheet and
remedial measures are described below:
19
/03 633
Effect on Balance Sheet: As per IRAC norms prescribed by RBI, Bank cannot allow
DP against stocks or Bookdebt which are 90 days or more old. In case Bank
continues to allow DP in a CC a/c against stock or Bookdebt older than 90 days and
if such situation continues for another 90 days, the CC a/c and all other facilities of
the customer are classified as NPA. This increases NPA exposure and provision
23
Resolution: Branches should update the stock or Bookdebt details in CBS in all
feasible cases.
2. Non-renewal of limit
Effect on Balance Sheet: The limit in running a/c like a CC/OD/KCC is considered
as ZERO, once it is expired and once this happens, such types of accounts are
considered as out of order. If out of order situation continues for more than 90 days,
the account along with other accounts of the customer is classified as NPA. This
increases NPA exposure and provision adversely affecting profitability.
Resolution: Branches should renew/review the limit well in time in all feasible cases.
3. Expired LG/LC
Effect on Balance Sheet: Expired LG/LC only inflates Bank’s off-balance sheet
exposure and Bank needs to provide capital for these expired LG/LC adversely
affecting Capital Adequacy Ratio.
Identification: EDW report ‘BG and LC Expire but Liability Amount Pending’ under
PNBEDW/DATA CLEAN/DAILY folder.
:14
Resolution: Branches should close all such LG/LC on case to case basis after
necessary verification.
Effect on Balance Sheet: Bank is not required to provide capital on any Fund
19
margin like FDR, LIP & Govt. Securities. Non capturing of details relating to cash
margin while issuing LG/LC(in margin tab) in spite of the fact that LG/LC is actually
issued against sufficient cash margin adversely affects Bank’s Capital Adequacy
Ratio.
Effect on Balance Sheet: Bank is not required to provide capital on any Fund
Based/Non Fund Based facility to the extent it is covered by cash securities/cash
margin like FDR, LIP & Govt. Securities, which are also called Credit Risk Mitigation
(CRM) securities. However, the aforesaid securities are considered as CRM security
as long as those are within their due date or date of maturity. Non renewal of CRM
securities in CBS adversely affects Bank’s Capital Adequacy Ratio.
6. Unrated customers/accounts
Effect on Balance Sheet: External rating is the key component for computing Risk
Weighted Asset for Corporate customers. 20%, 30%, 50%, 100%, 150% risk weight
are applied on AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB & below rated customers respectively. For
unrated customers, 100% risk weight is applied. On expiry of the external rating, the
customer is treated as unrated. Timely capturing of fresh external rating in CBS
could avert application of higher risk weight and adverse impact on Capital
Adequacy Ratio.
:14
Identification: LADDER+ report ‘Expired rating’ under BASEL III
MODULE/VALIDATION REPORT menu. 12
/20 19
Resolution: Branches should capture the latest rating in CBS through CRMS menu
in all feasible cases.
19
/03 633
level makes the loan account unsecured. When such accounts slip to NPA, 100%
provisioning is done instead of legitimate 15% adversely affecting Bank’s profitability.
Identification: EDW report ‘Loan Accounts where Limit-Id Entered but Security not
Maintained at Node Level’ under PNBEDW/DATA CLEAN/DAILY folder.
Resolution: Branches should either maintain security at node level or remove Limit
Node Id from Drawing Power maintenance screen.
8. Other issues
Resolution: Branches should recover the CAD amount beforehand without waiting
for the last day. In case borrower insists on paying the dues only on the last day,
then the CAD amount as well as the interest to be applied is also to be recovered. To
assess the interest amount, branches may run HACINT menu in CBS in Trial Mode
on the last day of the month to assess the interest to be applied by the system as the
part of the month/quarter end activities. HACINT in trial mode assesses interest
amount correctly provided there is no further debit in the account after running

Amount due to the bank under any credit facility is ‘overdue’, if it is not paid
on the due date fixed by the bank.

19
remains ‘out of order’. A Cash Credit and Overdraft account is treated as ‘out
/03 633
of order’ if:
A.2.2 Branches should ensure that drawings in the working capital accounts are
covered by the adequacy of current assets, since current assets are first
appropriated in times of distress. Drawing power is required to be
calculated/arrived at based on the stock statement which is current. However,
considering the practical difficulties of large borrowers, stock statements relied
upon by the banks for determining drawing power should not be older than
three months. The outstanding in the account based on drawing power
calculated from stock statements older than three months, would be
deemed as irregular. A working capital borrowal account will become NPA if
such irregular drawings are permitted in the account for a continuous period of
90 days even though the unit may be working or the borrower’s financial
position is satisfactory.
A.2.3 Regular and adhoc credit limits need to be reviewed / regularised not later
than three months from the due date/date of adhoc sanction. In case of
constraints such as non availability of financial statements and other data

EXCEPTIONS:
(ii) The bill discounted under LC favoring a borrower may not be classified as a
Non Performing Advances (NPA), when any other facility granted to the
borrower is classified as NPA. However, in case documents under LC are not
accepted on presentation or the payment under the LC is not made on the
due date by the LC Issuing Bank for any reason and the borrower does not
immediately make good the amount disbursed as a result of discounting of
:14
(iv) In case of bank finance given for industrial projects or for agricultural
plantations, etc. where moratorium is available for payment of
interest, payment of interest, becomes `due' only after the
moratorium or gestation period is over. Therefore, such amounts of
12
interest do not become `overdue' and hence do not become NPA with
/20 19
reference to the date of debit of interest. They become overdue after due
date for payment of interest, if uncollected.
19
/03 633
A.9.5.1.For the purpose of calculating the margin, value of security should be taken
as under:
(i) In case of advances against Term Deposit in the nature of recurring and
reinvestment deposits, the principal and interest accrued thereon shall
be taken into account.
(ii) In case of advances against LIC policies, the latest surrender value of
the policy may be taken into account.
(iii) In case of advances against NSCs eligible for surrender, IVPs and KVPs
the interest accrued on the value of security should be taken into account.

A.9.5.2. Further, it is also clarified that NSCs may become eligible for surrender only
on maturity or on happening of any of the following mentioned events:
NSCs.

19
I. Para 1(i) of Annexure A of the L & A Circular no. 19/19 dated 21.02.2019
stipulates the following criteria for valuation of properties:-
II. Wherever the Incumbent feels that realizable value of IPs is significantly lower
than the one on bank’s record in accounts with aggregate limits/ outstanding
of Rs.10 lakhs & above but less than Rs.1 crore and value of immovable
property mortgaged/charged to the bank is Rs.20 lakhs & above, he may get
23
the property re-valued from the bank’s approved valuer provided the valuation
is more than one year old.
III. As regards borrowal accounts having aggregate limit of Rs. 1 crore & above,
valuation of immovable properties charged/mortgaged to the Bank be got
done from approved valuer once in three years.
IV. However, where the value of immovable property to be mortgaged/ charged is
Rs.5 crore & above, branches shall get valuation of such IPs done from
minimum two valuers on the Bank’s approved panel.
V. In pursuance of IBA report 2017, Board in its meeting dated 26.04.2017,
approved that in case the difference in two valuations is more than 15%, 3rd
valuation may be got done from a senior valuer in category A and the average
of the two valuation reports having difference of not more than 15% be taken
II. RBI teams and Statutory Auditors also do not entertain the old valuation
reports, as result of which higher provision rates are advised by them.
III. In absence of latest valuation report, which should not be normally more
than 1 year old, as per Bank’s guidelines for fixation of Reserve Price for
a sale process, non-realistic Reserve Price is fixed, which is the main reason
for failure of sale process.

ANNEXURE C
All Borrowal accounts (including Borrowal Fraud accounts) need to be classified into
four categories taking into account the degree of well defined credit weaknesses,
period for which the asset has remained non performing, realisability of the dues and
extent of dependence on collateral security for realisation of the dues as given
under:
C.1.1 Standard asset is one which does not disclose any problem and which does
:14
not carry more than normal risk attached to the business. Such an asset is
not an NPA.
doubtful or loss, after interest / principal / any other amount due to the bank
remains overdue for more than 90 days.
C.1.4 Further, advances against term deposits, NSCs eligible for surrender, Indira
VikasPatra, KisanVikasPatras and Life Insurance Policies, are to be classified
as Standard assets provided adequate margin is available.
A sub-standard asset is one, which has remained NPA for a period less
than or equal to 12 months; such an asset will have well defined credit
weaknesses that jeopardize liquidation of the debt and are characterized by
the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss, if deficiencies are
not corrected.
A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in assets that
were classified as sub-standard with the added characteristic that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently
known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
A loss asset is one where loss has been identified by the bank or internal or
external auditors or the RBI Inspectors but the amount has not been
written off wholly . In other words, such an asset is considered uncollectible
and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not
warranted although there may be some salvage or recovery value.
The extant instructions provide that a NPA need not go through the various
stages of classification in case of serious credit impairment on account of
erosion in the value of security or non-availability of security and existence of
other factors such as frauds committed by borrowers. Such assets should be
straightaway classified as a doubtful/loss as appropriate viz.
:14
(i) Erosion in the value of security can be reckoned as significant when the
realisable value of the security is less than 50 per cent of the value
assessed by the bank or accepted by RBI at the time of last inspection, as
12
the case may be. Such NPAs may be straightaway classified under
/20 19
(ii) If the realizable value of the security, as assessed by the bank’s approved
valuers/RBI is less than 10% of the outstanding in the borrowal accounts,
the existence of security should be ignored and the asset should be
straightaway classified as loss asset. It may be either written off or fully
provided by the Bank.
C.5.1 Exception
If the arrears of Interest and principal are paid by the borrower and/or in
working capital limits, the account does not show irregularities
mentioned in A.2.1 above, the account no longer can be treated as NPA
and be classified as Standard. There shall be no need to wait till
balance sheet date for reclassifying the account as performing.
RBI has stipulated that Bank should establish appropriate internal system
(including Technology based processes) for proper and timely identification
of NPAs and the responsibility and validation levels for ensuring proper
asset classification may be fixed by the Bank. RBI has also directed that
doubts in asset classification due to any reason are settled through specified
internal channels. Accordingly bank has laid down the following guidelines:

GUIDELINES ON PROVISIONING
The Primary responsibility for making adequate provisions for any diminution in the
value of loan assets is that of the Branch Manager (and Concurrent Auditor,
wherever posted). Therefore it shall be the responsibility of the Branch Manager to
ensure that proper data is fed into LADDER system/CBS records particularly with
reference to Date of NPA, Value of Security, and Special categories of the Assets
etc. to enable the LADDER system/ to correctly classify the NPA accounts and
calculate the provisions. The detailed instructions relating to provision requirements
of different categories of assets are given hereunder:
:14
If loss assets are permitted to remain in the books for any reason, 100% of
the outstanding should be provided for.
100 percent of the extent to which the advance is not covered by the
19
realisable value of the security to which the bank has a valid recourse and
/03 633
D.3. Sub-standard
D.4.1 The ‘unsecured exposures’ which are identified as ‘substandard’ would attract
additional provision of 10 per cent, i.e., a total of 25 per cent on the
outstanding balance. However, in view of certain safeguards such as escrow
accounts available in respect of Infrastructure lending, Infrastructure loan
accounts which are classified as Sub Standard will attract a provisioning of
20% instead of aforesaid prescription of 25%. To avail of this benefit of lower
provisioning, the bank should have in place an appropriate mechanism to
escrow the cash flows and also have a clear and legal first claim on these
cash flows.
D.4.2. The rights, licenses, authorizations, etc. charged to the Banks as collateral in
respect of projects (including infrastructure projects) financed by them should
not be reckoned as tangible security. Such advances shall be reckoned as
unsecured.
:14
D.4.3. However annuities under Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model in respect of
road/highway projects and toll collection rights where there are provisions to
compensate the project sponsor if a certain level of traffic is not achieved may
12
be treated as tangible securities subject to the condition that bank’s right to
/20 19
(i) User charges / toll / tariff payments are kept in an escrow account where
senior lenders have priority over withdrawals by the concessionaire;
(v) Upon termination, the Project Authority has an obligation of (i) compulsory
buy-out and (ii) repayment of debt due in a pre-determined manner.
:14
(i) Loan accounts are to be categorized as “Secured or Unsecured
“based on the latest sanction of the loan accounts.
(ii) Loans where the realizable value of the security, as assessed by the
12
Bank/ Approved Valuers/ RBI Officers is not more than 10% of the
/20 19
:14
exceed 10% of the total Floor Space Index (FSI) of the project. In case the FSI
of the commercial area in the predominantly residential housing complex

D.7.1 Banks are not permitted to upgrade the classification of any advance in
respect of which the terms have been negotiated unless the package of
renegotiated terms has worked satisfactorily for a period of one year. While
the existing credit facilities sanctioned to a unit under rehabilitation
packages approved by BIFR/Term Lending Institutions will continue to be
classified as Sub standard or doubtful as the case may be, in respect of
additional facilities sanctioned under the rehabilitation packages, the
Income Recognition, Asset Classification norms will become
applicable after a period of one year from the date of disbursement. So
23
D.7.2 The provision should continue to be made in respect of dues to the bank on
the existing credit facilities as per their classification as sub standard or
doubtful asset.
D.7.3 In respect of additional credit facilities granted to SSI units which are
identified as sick (as per extant RBI guidelines) and where rehabilitation
packages / nursing programmes have been drawn by the banks themselves
or under consortium arrangements, no provision need be made for a period
of one year. In respect of additional credit facilities granted to SME or other
units where rehabilitation packages/ nursing programmes have been drawn
by the banks themselves or under consortium arrangements, no provision
need be made for a period of one year.
:14
(i) The loss on revaluation of assets has to be booked in the bank’s profit &

corresponding assets, if any, on account of Foreign Exchange
19
Banks shall make provisions, with effect from the year ending March 31,
2003, on the net funded country exposures on a graded scale ranging from
0.25 to 100 percent according to the risk categories mentioned below. To
begin with, banks shall make provisions as per the following schedule:

Insignificant A1 0.25
Low A2 0.25
Moderate B1 5
High B2 20
Very high C1 25
Restricted C2 100
Off-credit D 100
Banks are required to make provision for country risk in respect of a country
where its net funded exposure is one per cent or more of its total assets.
The provision for country risk shall be in addition to the provisions required to
be held according to the asset classification status of the asset. However, in
Banks may not make any provision for ‘home country’ exposures i.e.
exposure to India. The exposures of foreign branches of Indian banks to the
host country should be included. Foreign banks shall compute the country
exposures of their Indian branches and shall hold appropriate provisions in
their Indian books. However, their exposures to India will be excluded.
Banks may make a lower level of provisioning (say 25% of the requirement) in
respect of short-term exposures (i.e. exposures with contractual maturity of
less than 180 days).

(i) Asset quality of bank is one of the most important indicators of its financial
health. Bank has, therefore put in place a robust MIS mechanism for
early detection of signs of distress at individual account level as well as at
segment level (asset class, industry, geographic, size, etc.). Such early
warning signals should be used for putting in place an effective preventive
asset quality management framework, including a transparent
restructuring mechanism for viable accounts under distress within the
prevailing regulatory framework, for preserving the economic value of
those entities in all segments.
(ii) The bank’s IT and MIS system are robust and able to generate reliable
and quality information with regard to their asset quality for effective
decision making. There should be no inconsistencies between

The guidelines given below relate to IRAC norms for projects under
implementation in general. For projects restructured/covered under specific
schemes (flexible restructuring etc.) and for Refinancing of Project Loans,
Financing of Cost Overruns for Projects under implementation and other topics
relating to Project under implementation please refer to relevant L&A circulars
for operational guidelines and amendments in undernoted guidelines, if any.
F.1 For all projects financed by the FIs/ banks , the ‘Date of Completion’ and
the ‘Date of Commencement of Commercial Operations’ (DCCO), of the project
:14
should be clearly spelt out at the time of financial closure of the project and the
same should be formally documented.
F.2 There are occasions when the completion of projects is delayed for legal and
12
other extraneous reasons like delays in Government approvals etc. All these factors,
/20 19
which are beyond the control of the promoters, may lead to delay in project
implementation and involve restructuring / reschedulement of loans by banks.
19
/03 633
Accordingly, the following asset classification norms would apply to the project
loans before commencement of commercial operations.
a) The units representing remaining 50 per cent (or lower) of the originally envisaged
23
F.4 In such cases, banks may, at their discretion, also effect a consequential shift
in repayment schedule of the debt attributable to units which have not commenced
commercial operations for equal or shorter duration (including the start date and end
date of revised repayment schedule) i.e., one year, subject to adhering to other
applicable guidelines.
F.6 Guidelines relating to project loans which are applicable after DCCO of a
project, including flexible structuring of project loans shall not be applicable to project
loans attributable to units which have not commenced commercial operations.
F.7 'Project Loan' would mean any term loan which has been extended for the
purpose of setting up of an economic venture. The project loans have been divided
into the following two categories:
(a) Project Loans for infrastructure sector
(b) Project Loans for non-infrastructure sector
:14
i) Deferment of DCCO and consequential shift in repayment schedule for equal or
shorter duration (including the start date and end date of revised repayment
schedule) will not be treated as restructuring provided that:
12
/20 19
a. The revised DCCO falls within the period of two years and one year from the
original DCCO stipulated at the time of financial closure for infrastructure
19
These will be treated as standard assets in all respects and they will attract standard
asset provision of 0.40 per cent.
ii)Banks may restructure project loans (except commercial real estate sector) by way
of revision of DCCO beyond the time limits quoted at paragraph (i) (a) above and
23
retain the ‘standard’ asset classification, if the fresh DCCO is fixed within the
following limits, and the account continues to be serviced as per the restructured
terms:
(b) Infrastructure Projects delayed for other reasons beyond the control
of promoters: Up to another one year (beyond the two year period quoted
at paragraph 1(a)above, i.e., total extension of three years), in case the
reason for extension of DCCO is beyond the control of promoters (other
than court cases).
(iii). It is re-iterated that a loan for a project may be classified as NPA during any time
before commencement of commercial operations as per record of recovery (90 days
overdue).It is further re-iterated that the dispensation at paragraph (ii) is subject to
the condition that the application for restructuring should be received before the
expiry of period mentioned at paragraph (i) (a) above and when the account is still
standard as per record of recovery. The other conditions applicable would be:
a. In cases where there is moratorium for payment of interest, banks should not
book income on accrual basis beyond two years and one year from the
original DCCO for infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects respectively,
considering the high risk involved in such restructured accounts.
b. Banks should maintain following provisions on such accounts as long as
:14
these are classified as standard assets in addition to provision for diminution
in fair value due to extension of DCCO:
:14
i. In order to facilitate revival of the projects stalled primarily due to
inadequacies of the current promoters, if a change in ownership takes
place any time during the periods quoted in paragraphs mentioned in F.8
12
above or before the original DCCO, banks may permit extension of the
/20 19
ii. In cases where change in ownership and extension of DCCO (as indicated in
paragraph F.8 (i) above takes place before the original DCCO, and if the
project fails to commence commercial operations by the extended DCCO,
the project will be eligible for further extension of DCCO in terms of
guidelines quoted at paragraph F.8 above. Similarly, where change in
ownership and extension of DCCO takes place during the period quoted in
23
paragraph F.8 (i) above, the account may still be restructured by extension
of DCCO in terms of guidelines quoted at paragraph F.8 (ii) above, without
classifying the account as non-performing asset.
iii. The provisions of paragraphs F.9 (i) and (ii) above are subject to the following
conditions:
(a) Banks should establish that implementation of the project is
stalled/affected primarily due to inadequacies of the current
promoters/management and with a change in ownership there is a very
high probability of commencement of commercial operations by the
project within the extended period;
(b) The project in consideration should be taken-over/acquired by a new
promoter/promoter group with sufficient expertise in the field of
operation. If the acquisition is being carried out by a special purpose
vehicle (domestic or overseas), the bank should be able to clearly

from the date of execution of such binding agreement. Further in line
with other guidelines on change in ownership, there will be ‘stand-still’
in asset classification status during the above 12 month period. If the
change in ownership is not completed within 12 months from the date
12
of the binding agreement, the asset classification will be as per the
/20 19
(i) All other aspects of restructuring of project loans before & after commencement of
commercial operations would be governed by the provisions of Annexure G of this
Circular.
:14
(iv) Banks, if deemed fit, may extend DCCO beyond the respective time limits
stipulated at paragraphs F.8 (ii) above; however, in that case, banks will not be able
to retain the ‘standard’ asset classification status of such loan accounts.
12
/20 19
(v) In all the above cases of restructuring where regulatory forbearance has been
extended, the Boards of banks should satisfy themselves about the viability of the

(i) Banks may recognize income on accrual basis in respect of the projects under
implementation, which are classified as ‘standard’.
(ii) Banks should not recognize income on accrual basis in respect of the projects
under implementation which are classified as a ‘substandard’ asset. Banks may
recognize income in such accounts only on realization on cash basis.

debentures or any other fixed maturity instrument should be recognised only on
12
redemption of such instrument. Subject to the above, the equity shares or other

ANNEXURE G
Background
G.1 A restructured account is one where the bank, for economic or legal reasons
relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, grants to the borrower concessions that
the bank would not otherwise consider. Restructuring would normally involve
modification of terms of the advances / securities, which would generally include,
among others, alteration of repayment period / repayable amount/ the amount of
:14
instalments / rate of interest (due to reasons other than competitive reasons).
However, extension in repayment tenor of a floating rate loan on reset of interest
rate, so as to keep the EMI unchanged provided it is applied to a class of accounts
uniformly will not render the account to be classified as ‘Restructured account’. In
12
other words, extension or deferment of EMIs to individual borrowers as against to an
/20 19
G.2 In the cases of roll-over of short term loans, where proper pre-sanction
/03 633
assessment has been made, and the roll-over is allowed based on the actual
requirement of the borrower and no concession has been provided due to credit
weakness of the borrower, then these might not be considered as restructured
accounts. However, if such accounts are rolled-over more than two times, then third
roll-over onwards the account would have to be treated as a restructured account.
Besides, banks should be circumspect while granting such facilities as the borrower
may be availing similar facilities from other banks in the consortium or under multiple
banking. Further, Short Term Loans for the purpose of this provision do not include
properly assessed regular Working Capital Loans like revolving Cash Credit or
23
G.3.1 Banks may restructure the accounts classified under 'standard', 'sub- standard'
and 'doubtful' categories.
G.3.4 No account will be taken up for restructuring by the banks unless the financial
viability is established and there is a reasonable certainty of repayment from the
borrower, as per the terms of restructuring package. Any restructuring done without
looking into cash flows of the borrower and assessing the viability of the projects /
activity financed by banks would be treated as an attempt at ever greening a weak
credit facility and would invite supervisory action by RBI. Banks should accelerate
the recovery measures in respect of such accounts. The viability should be
determined by the banks based on the acceptable viability benchmarks determined
by them, which may be applied on a case-by-case basis, depending on merits of
each case. Illustratively, the parameters may include the Return on Capital
Employed, Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Gap between the Internal Rate of Return
:14
and Cost of Funds and the amount of provision required in lieu of the diminution in
the fair value of the restructured advance. As different sectors of economy have
different performance indicators the viability should be determined by the banks
based on the acceptable viability parameters and benchmarks for each parameter
12
determined by them. The benchmarks for the viability parameters adopted by the
/20 19
CDR Mechanism are given hereunder. RBI has advised that the individual banks
may suitably adopt them with appropriate adjustments, if any, for specific sectors

G.3.6 BIFR cases are not eligible for restructuring without their express approval.
CDR Core Group in the case of advances restructured under CDR Mechanism, the
lead bank in the case of SME Debt Restructuring Mechanism and the individual
12
banks in other cases, may consider the proposals for restructuring in such cases,
/20 19
after ensuring that all the formalities in seeking the approval from BIFR are
completed before implementing the package.
19
/03 633
G.4.2 The non-performing assets, upon restructuring, would continue to have the
same asset classification as prior to restructuring and slip into further lower asset
classification categories as per extant asset classification norms with reference to
the pre-restructuring repayment schedule.
G.4.3 Standard accounts classified as NPA and NPA accounts retained in the same
category on restructuring by the bank should be upgraded only when all the
outstanding loan/facilities in the account perform satisfactorily i.e. principal and
interest on all facilities in the account are serviced as per terms of payment during
the ‘specified period’. Specified Period means a period of one year from the
commencement of the first payment of interest or principal, whichever is later, on the
:14
should be regular.
Note: RBI has observed that in a rising interest rate scenario, banks normally extend
the repayment period by keeping the EMI constant. However, in a few cases this
12
resulted in extending the repayment period much beyond the retirement age or the
/20 19
revenue generating capacity of the borrower. Therefore, RBI has advised that:
19
(i) While extending repayment period in respect of housing loans to keep the EMI
/03 633
G.4.4 In case, however, satisfactory performance after the specified period is not
evidenced, the asset classification of the restructured account would be governed as
per the applicable prudential norms with reference to the pre-restructuring payment
schedule.
G.4.5 Any additional finance may be treated as 'standard asset' during the specified
period under the approved restructuring package. However, in the case of accounts
where the pre-restructuring facilities were classified as 'sub-standard' and 'doubtful',
interest income on the additional finance should be recognised only on cash basis. If
the restructured asset does not qualify for upgradation at the end of the above
specified period, the additional finance shall be placed in the same asset
classification category as the restructured debt.
:14
(i) Banks will hold provision against the restructured advances as per the extant
provisioning norms.
(ii) Restructured accounts classified as standard advances will attract a higher
provision (as prescribed from time to time) in the first two years from the date of
12
restructuring. In cases of moratorium on payment of interest/principal after
/20 19
restructuring, such advances will attract the prescribed higher provision for the
period covering moratorium and two years thereafter.
19
standard category will attract a provision of 5% in the first year from the date of
upgradation.
(iv) The above-mentioned higher provision on restructured standard advances (2.75
per cent as prescribed vide circular dated November 26, 2012) would increase
to 5 per cent in respect of new restructured standard accounts (flow) with effect
from June 1, 2013 and increase in a phased manner for the stock of
restructured standard accounts as on May 31, 2013 as under :
o 3.50 per cent – w.e.f. March 31, 2014 (spread over the four
quarters of 2013-14)
23
o 4.25 per cent - w.e.f. March 31, 2015 (spread over the four
quarters of 2014-15)
o 5.00 per cent - - w.e.f. March 31, 2016 (spread over the four
quarters of 2015-16)
:14
banks in future. Further, it is reiterated that the provisions required as above
arise due to the action of the banks resulting in change in contractual terms of
the loan upon restructuring which are in the nature of financial concessions.
These provisions are distinct from the provisions which are linked to the asset
12
classification of the account classified as NPA and reflect the impairment due to
/20 19
deterioration in the credit quality of the loan. Thus, the two types of the
provisions are not substitute for each other.
19
(iv) It was observed that on a few occasions, there were divergences in the
/03 633
gets captured on such valuation. Therefore, for the purpose of arriving at the
erosion in the fair value, the NPV calculation of the portion of principal not
converted into debt/equity has to be carried out separately. However, the total
sacrifice involved for the bank would be NPV of the above portion plus valuation
loss on account of conversion into debt/equity instruments.
(v) RBI has advised that Banks should correctly capture the diminution in fair value
of restructured accounts as it will have a bearing not only on the provisioning
required to be made by them but also on the amount of sacrifice required from
the promoters. Further, there should not be any effort on the part of banks to
artificially reduce the net present value of cash flows by resorting to any sort of
financial engineering. Banks are also advised to put in place a proper
mechanism of checks and balances to ensure accurate calculation of erosion in
the fair value of restructured accounts.
(vi) In the case of working capital facilities, the diminution in the fair value of the
cash credit / overdraft component may be computed as indicated in para (i)
above, reckoning the higher of the outstanding amount or the limit sanctioned
:14
amount of excess provision held in the distinct account.
(ix) If due to lack of expertise / appropriate infrastructure, a bank finds it difficult to
ensure computation of diminution in the fair value of advances, as an alternative
to the methodology prescribed above for computing the amount of diminution in
12
the fair value, banks will have the option of notionally computing the amount of
/20 19
diminution in the fair value and providing therefor, at five per cent of the total
exposure, in respect of all restructured accounts where the total dues to bank(s)
19
(x) The total provisions required against an account (normal provisions plus
provisions in lieu of diminution in the fair value of the advance) are capped at
100% of the outstanding debt amount.
A part of the outstanding principal amount can be converted into debt or equity
23
These instruments should be held under AFS and valued as per usual valuation
norms. Equity classified as standard asset should be valued either at market value, if
quoted, or at break-up value, if not quoted (without considering the revaluation
reserve, if any) which is to be ascertained from the company's latest balance sheet.
In case the latest balance sheet is not available, the shares are to be valued at Re.
1. Equity instrument classified as NPA should be valued at market value, if quoted,
and in case where equity is not quoted, it should be valued at Re. 1. Depreciation on
these instruments should not be offset against the appreciation in any other
securities held under the AFS category.

G.8 Prudential Norms for Conversion of Unpaid Interest into 'Funded
Interest Term Loan' (FITL), Debt or Equity Instruments
The FITL / debt or equity instrument created by conversion of unpaid interest will be
19
classified in the same asset classification category in which the restructured advance
/03 633
has been classified. Further movement in the asset classification of FITL / debt or
equity instruments would also be determined based on the subsequent asset
classification of the restructured advance.
G.8.2.3 In the case of conversion of unrealised interest income into equity, which is
quoted, interest income can be recognized after the account is upgraded to standard
category at market value of equity, on the date of such upgradation, not exceeding
the amount of interest converted into equity.
G.8.2.4 Only on repayment in case of FITL or sale / redemption proceeds of the debt
/ equity instruments, the amount received will be recognized in the P&L Account,
while simultaneously reducing the balance in the "Sundry Liabilities Account (Interest
Capitalisation)".
G.9 Miscellaneous
G.9.1 The banks should decide on the issue regarding convertibility (into equity)
option as a part of restructuring exercise whereby the banks / financial institutions
shall have the right to convert a portion of the restructured amount into equity,
keeping in view the statutory requirement under Section 19 of the Banking
:14
Regulation Act, 1949, (in the case of banks) and relevant SEBI regulations.
G.9.2 Conversion of debt into preference shares should be done only as a last resort
and such conversion of debt into equity/preference shares should, in any case, be
12
restricted to a cap (say 10 per cent of the restructured debt). Further, any conversion
/20 19
of debt into equity should be done only in the case of listed companies.
19
from the mandatory rating requirement and the prudential limit on investment in
unlisted non-SLR securities, prescribed by the RBI, subject to periodical reporting to
the RBI in the aforesaid DSB return.
G.9.6 As stipulating personal guarantee will ensure promoters’ “skin in the game” or
commitment to the restructuring package, promoters’ personal guarantee should be
obtained in all cases of restructuring and corporate guarantee cannot be accepted as
a substitute for personal guarantee. However, corporate guarantee can be accepted
G.9.8 Promoters must bring additional funds in all cases of restructuring. Additional
funds brought by promoters should be a minimum of 20 per cent of banks’ sacrifice
or 2 per cent of the restructured debt, whichever is higher. The promoters’
contribution should invariably be brought upfront while extending the restructuring
benefits to the borrowers. Promoter’s contribution need not necessarily be brought in
cash and can be brought in the form of conversion of unsecured loan from the
promoters into equity;
:14
G.9.9 Banks should determine a reasonable time period during which the account is
likely to become viable, based on the cash flow and the Techno Economic Viability
(TEV) study; 12
/20 19
G.9.10 Banks should be satisfied that the post restructuring repayment period is
reasonable and commensurate with the estimated cash flows and required DSCR in
19
G.9.11 Each bank should clearly document its own due diligence done in assessing
the TEV and the viability of the assumptions underlying the restructured repayment
terms.
G.11 Disclosures
With effect from the financial year 2012-13, banks should disclose in their published
annual Balance Sheets, under "Notes on Accounts", information relating to number
and amount of advances restructured, and the amount of diminution in the fair value
of the restructured advances. The information would be required for advances
restructured under CDR Mechanism, SME Debt Restructuring Mechanism and other
categories separately. Banks must disclose the total amount outstanding in all the
accounts / facilities of borrowers whose accounts have been restructured along with
the restructured part or facility. This means even if only one of the facilities /
accounts of a borrower has been restructured, the bank should also disclose the
entire outstanding amount pertaining to all the facilities / accounts of that particular
borrower.
G.12 It has been reiterated that the basic objective of restructuring is to preserve
economic value of units, not ever-greening of problem accounts. This can be

Provisioning required as per normal IRAC norms shall continue to be done.
In addition to normal IRAC provisions, RBI vide their Master Circular dated
01.07.2015 on IRAC norms, has reviewed & advised modifications in the Prudential
Guidelines on Restructuring of Advances by Banks and Financial Institutions as

value be calculated at 5 percent of the outstanding amount.
For Accounts where total dues to Banks are Rs. One Crore and above
-Existing guidelines as enumerated under on computation of DFV of these accounts, to
continue.
On a review, it has been decided that a rate equal to the actual interest rate charged
to the borrower before restructuring may be used to discount the future cash flows
for the purpose of determining the DFV of loans on restructuring. In cases where the
:14
existing credit facilities to a borrower carry different rates of interest, the weighted
average interest rate (with share of each credit facility in the total outstanding of the
borrower as on the date of restructuring being used as weights) may be used as the
12
discounting rate. This discount rate may be used to discount both the pre-

The above methodology may be consistently used wherever banks are required to
19
/03 633
compute fair/present value of loans under the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank
of India, including for the purpose of computing net present value of project loans as
required in terms of Circular DBR.No.BP.BC.53/21.04.132/2014-15 dated December
15, 2014. It is clarified that this instruction will be applicable to all projects where
changes in amortization schedule have been carried out under the above circular.
Revised template for calculation of diminution in fair value has also been provided to
23
the Circle Offices / LCBs, which has been made applicable w.e.f. Sept.-15 closing.
Template is also enclosed.
Diminution in fair value is to be re-computed on quarterly basis till satisfactory
completion of all repayment obligations, so as to capture the changes in the fair
value of advance on account of changes in outstanding and the asset classification
of the borrower. Consequently, bank would provide for the shortfall in provision or
reverse the amount of excess provision held in the distinct account.
In view of the complexity involved in computing the diminution in the fair value of
restructured advances, Bank has decided to exercise the option of notionally
computing the amount of diminution in the fair value and providing thereof, at five
percent of the total exposure, in respect of all restructured accounts where the total
dues to bank are less than rupees one crore till the further review.

Standardized Approach on Credit Risk under Basel III -Guidelines on CRAR for
credit risk as at 31.03.2019
With a view to calculate capital adequacy of Bank as per Basel III framework,
Reserve Bank of India has issued guidelines vide their circulars from time to time.
With the objective to improve the banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks
arising from financial and economic stress, Bank has implemented the Basel III
guidelines w.e.f 01.04.2013 on the basis of regulatory guidelines issued by RBI.
Guidelines of this Framework (Standardized Approach) seek to arrive at significantly
more risk-sensitive approach to capital requirements.
Bank on its part has issued following internal circulars on the subject under LA/
IRMD series, which may be referred in case of need:
:14
Table A

The Basel III guidelines broadly cover the following: (a) Classification of entire credit
portfolio in various asset classes. (b) Application of prescribed risk weights against
each asset class. (c) Recognition of certain collaterals (Basel guidelines does not
distinguish between Primary security & Collateral security and any type of
security/cover available is called as ‘collateral’) as credit risk mitigates. (d)Treatment

With a view to reflect a higher element of interest risk which may be latent in entities
whose obligations have been subjected to restructuring / re-scheduling either by
banks on their own or along with other bankers/creditors, the unrated standard /
performing claims on these entities should be assigned a higher risk weight until
satisfactory performance under the revised payment schedule has been established
for one year from the date when the first payment of interest/ principal falls due

stress, appropriate transitional arrangements have been made. Capital ratios and
deductions from Common Equity will be fully phased-in and implemented as on
March 31, 2019. The phase-in arrangements for banks operating in India are
indicated in the following Table:
:14
from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020. As such Minimum Total Capital +CCB will
be 10.875% as at 31.03.2019.
The claims on foreign banks will be risk weighted as per the ratings assigned by
international rating agencies as under:
19
/03 633
:14
the last three years in the case of existing entities; projected turnover in the case of
new entities; and both actual and projected turnover for entities which are yet to
complete three years. 12
/20 19
It is therefore very important that the turnover details in respect of borrowal accounts
enjoying aggregate (FB+NFB) credit limits are correctly reported in LADDER for
19
/03 633
appropriate risk weight calculation. It has been decided that branches should
calculate/feed the turn over in respect of accounts where aggregate credit limit is
above Rs.1 crore and upto Rs 5 crore. This is based on the premise that in general a
borrower availing limits up to Rs.1 crore does not have annual turn over of Rs.50
crore & above. However, incumbent in-charge of branch should ensure that no loan
account (with aggregate credit limit upto Rs.1 crore) in the branch has three year’s
average sales turnover of Rs.50 crore and above and if any exception is found then
the sales turnover as required should be fed in the LADDER system. It may also be
23
ensured that the turnover details are updated for latest turnover figures.
Accordingly, the prudential norms on risk weight, and LTV ratio for individual housing
loans, CRE and CRE-RH exposures have been rationalized, as under:
Category of Loan
LTV * Ratio (%) Risk Weight (%)
(a) Individual Housing Loans
i) Upto Rs. 30 lakh ≤ 80 35
> 80 and ≤ 90 50
ii) Above Rs. 30 lakh and upto Rs. ≤ 75 35
75 lakh > 75 and ≤ 80 50

(b) CRE-RH NA 75
(c) CRE 12 NA 100

7. a) Capital Market exposure - Exposure to capital market will attract a higher risk
weight of 125% or a risk weight warranted by the external rating (or lack of it) of the
borrower, whichever is higher. Thus the minimum risk weight against such exposure
even when the account remains un-rated, will be 125%.
7 b) NBFCs
RBI vide notification dated 21/02/2019 has decided that exposures to all NBFCs,
excluding Core Investment Companies (CICs), will be risk weighted as per the
8. Consumer credit & Personal loans - Consumer credit, including personal loans
and credit card receivables but excluding education loans will attract a higher risk
weight of 125% or a higher risk weight (more than 125%) as warranted by the
external rating (or the lack of it) of the counter-party.
9. Venture Capital Funds:- Fund based and non-fund based claims on Venture
Capital Funds, which are considered as high risk exposures will attract a higher risk
weight of 150 per cent.
:14
The unsecured portion of NPA net of specific provision will be risk weighted as
under:
12
a) NPAs other than qualified residential mortgage (Housing Loan to Public)
/20 19
150% risk weight when specific provisions are less than 20% of the
outstanding amount of the NPA;
19
/03 633
100% risk weight when specific provision are at least 20% of the outstanding
amount of the NPA;
50% risk weight when specific provisions are at least 50% of the outstanding
amount of the NPA.
For the purpose of defining the secured portion of the NPA, eligible collateral will be
the same as recognized for credit risk mitigation purposes (paragraph 11). Hence,
other forms of collateral like land, buildings, plant, machinery, current assets, etc. will
not be reckoned while computing the secured portion of NPAs for capital adequacy
23
purposes.
In addition to the above , Where NPA is fully secured by following forms of collaterals
either independently or along with other eligible collaterals a risk weight of 100% will
apply where provisions reach 15% of outstanding amount.
i) Land and Building which are valued by an expert valuer and where the
valuation is not more than three years old, and
ii) Plant and Machinery in good working condition at a value not higher than the
depreciated value as reflected in the audited balance sheet of the borrower,
which is not older than eighteen months.
The above collaterals will be recognised only where the bank is having clear title to
realise the sale proceeds thereof and can appropriate the same towards the
amounts due to the bank. The bank’s title to the collateral should be well
11. Credit Risk Mitigants (CRM) Banks use a number of techniques to mitigate the
credit risks to which they are exposed. For example, exposures may be
collateralized in whole or in part by cash or securities, deposits from the same
counter-party, guarantee of a third party, etc. The revised approach to credit risk
:14
mitigation allows a wider range of credit risk mitigants to be recognized for regulatory
capital purposes.
12
Under Standardized Approach, the following securities (either primary or collateral)
/20 19
fixed deposit receipts issued by the lending bank) or deposit with the bank
which is incurring the counter-party exposure.
(ii) Gold: Gold would include both bullion and jewellery. However, the value of the
collateralized jewellery should be benchmarked to 99.99 purity.
(iii) Securities issued by Central and State Governments
(iv) Kisan Vikas Patra and National Savings Certificates provided no lock in period
is operational and if they can be encashed with in the holding period.
(v) Life insurance policies with a declared surrender value of an insurance
company which is regulated by an insurance sector regulator
23
(vi) Debt securities rated by a chosen Credit Rating Agency in respect of which
banks should be sufficiently confident about the market liquidity $$ where
these are either:
(a) Attracting 100 per cent or lesser risk weight i.e., rated at least BBB- when
issued
by public sector entities and other entities (including banks and Primary
dealers); or
(b)Attracting 100 per cent or lesser risk weight i.e., rated at least A3 for
Short-term debt instruments.
(vii) Debt securities not rated by a recognised Credit Rating Agency in respect of
which the bank should be sufficiently confident about the market liquidity
where these are (a) issued by a bank; and (b) listed on a recognised
exchange; and (c)classified as senior debt; and (d) all rated issues of the
same seniority by the issuing bank that are rated at least BBB- or A3 by a
chosen Credit Rating Agency ; and (e) the bank holding the securities as
collateral has no information to suggest that the issue justifies a rating below
(viii) Units of Mutual funds regulated by the securities regulator of the jurisdiction of
the bank’s operation mutual funds where:
a price for the units is publicly quoted daily i.e., where the daily NAV is
available in public domain; and
Mutual fund is limited to investing in the instruments listed in this
paragraph.

Haircuts: Haircuts are discounting factors to be applied on CRM value. Banks in
India are allowed to use Standard supervisory haircuts.

11.1 Benefits of Credit Risk Mitigation (CRM) The availability of a CRM security in
/20 19
a loan accounts reduces the risk weight against the exposure. For example: In case
of a loan of Rs.10000/- against security of FDR (where the FDR is yet to be matured)
19
/03 633
The above example clearly shows the benefit of CRM security. It is therefore
important that the details of the CRM securities, if available in a loan account
(whether primary or collateral), are correctly filled and no relevant field is left blank in
the LADDER/CBS system. Value of the CRM to include accrued interest also.
11.2 Important points for filling up the data for Basel-III calculations - The
following are the important points for filling data for ensuring calculation of
appropriate risk weights in CBS/LADDER:
:14
Accounts and feeding of details in CBS menu RSAM.
xiv) Correct feeding of external credit ratings in CBS through menu option CRMS
customized for the purpose
xv) ECGC/CGTMSE/CRGFTLIH/Other Govt. Guarantees covers are to be fed
12
properly in CBS system under “V” detail in case of fund based, and through
/20 19
The branches should therefore ensure correct feeding of data to obviate any
discrepancy in risk weight calculation.
*** Note: In its guideline on “Standardized Approach”, RBI has decided that the
amount of un-availed limit is also to be risk weighted. The unavailed commitment is
the unutilized portion of the sanctioned limit that could be availed by the borrower.
The amount of unavailed limit is to risk weighted as under:
23
a. In the case of a cash credit facility for Rs.100 lakh (which is not
unconditionally cancellable) where the availed portion is Rs. 60 lakh, the
unavailed portion of Rs.40 lakh will attract a Credit Conversion Factor (CCF)
of 20% (since the cash credit facility is subject to review / renewal normally
once a year). The credit equivalent amount of Rs.8 lakh (20% of Rs.40 lakh)
will be assigned the appropriate risk weight as applicable to the counterparty /
rating to arrive at the risk weighted asset for the unavailed portion. The
availed portion (Rs.60 lakh) will attract a risk weight as applicable to the
counterparty / rating.In terms of L&A circular no. 142/2007 the guidelines for
insertion of limit cancellation clause in loan documents have already been
issued. To capture this information, functionality in the CBS has been
developed under menu option CCLD where Limit cancellation flag “Y” shall be
auto populated which is modifiable by the branches.

12
Branches can fill the appropriate details of stage wise disbursement of TL in “Stage

wise calendar” window as shown above. Further, Branches are required to feed the
disbursement schedule in “D” details while opening the account in CBS. In case of
19
/03 633
existing accounts the information can be entered through modification mode under J
option of HACMLA.
11.3 The instructions contained in various IRMD circulars listed in Table A are to
be adhered to.
11.4 Branches must ensure that all efforts are made to avoid any discrepancies in
data, submitted by them. The discrepancies in data invites wrath of SCAs/RBI
Auditors and also can have adverse impact on the computation of Risk
23
Weighted Assets (RWAs) and as such on the Capital to Risk Weighted Assets
Ratio (CRAR) of the bank. It is therefore necessary to ensure that data in the
CBS system is fed correctly.
11.5 The software shall calculate the amount of Risk Weighted Assets and
required returns detailed below shall be generated through LADDER:

/03 633
Note: For details on generating above reports & relevant steps please refer MIS
Division circulars on LADDER DATA UPDATION GUIDELINES – issued before the
quarter/half year/annual closing.
12. Important points before finalizing the RWA master summary (with &
without undrawn) : Before finalizing the RWA summary, branch should carefully
check the same and it should be ensured that no wrong classification is shown in the
23
summary due to incorrect feeding of data at branch. Appropriate codes should be fed
in the system so that loan account, which attracts higher risk weight, is not shown in
lower risk weight category and vice versa. COs while compiling at their end should
also ensure this by randomly checking the reports/ master summary.
12.2 CRMs: As informed in para 11, certain financial securities and guarantees are
eligible for treatment as credit risk mitigants which are referred to as CRM securities.
Capital charge in respect of these accounts has to be calculated on the CRM
:14
adjusted exposure. Therefore, it is very important that the details and amount of
CRM securities are correctly filled in to obtain the capital relief.

Q1. How to segregate the claims on Banks under scheduled and other banks
as per their respective CRAR?
Ans. Branches are simply to pick the name of the Bank/Branch using the bank code
list available in the system. It would classify the bank as per its status and
would apply RW as per its CRAR and other details already fed in Bank Master
at the back end. Similarly, Branches are required to select appropriate
constitution code in CBS for direct exposures on Banks and mandatorily feed
the bank/branch code in Bills maintenance (MEOB/MIIB menus) during
purchase/discount of bills under LC as well as counter guarantee details of
the bank (if applicable), while issuing Guarantees.
:14
Q2. Why it is important to feed turnover of the borrower accounts?
Ans. It is important for the purpose of segregating an exposure between regulatory
12
retail and corporate. Any exposure beyond Rs. 5 crore is classified as

:14
Q8. Is it necessary to obtain external credit risk rating for exposure eligible
to be classified under commercial real estate (CRE) and commercial real
12
estate-residential housing (CRE-RH)?
/20 19
Ans. Risk weights for CRE & CRE-RH are not linked with External Credit Risk
Ratings. RBI guidelines on standardized approach prescribe risk weight of
100% for CRE & 75% for CRE-RH. However, the External Credit Risk Rating
19
/03 633
is used for understanding the inherent risk and pricing of the credit facilities.
Q9. Who will pay the fee and approach to ECAI, borrower or bank?
Ans. The borrowers themselves have to approach to ECAI and also bear the
expenditure associated with the external rating.
subsequently have become unrated will attract a risk weight of 150% from
25.08.2016.
Q11. Which agency to prefer & whom to contact?
Ans. RBI has identified 7 external credit rating agencies. Bank has entered into
MOU with all of them. Borrower is free to choose and negotiate with any
approved agency.
Q12. How to get the rating and when to do with that?
Ans. Ratings shall be provided to bank by borrower himself. List of ratings is also
available on the respective web sites of ECAIs.
Q13. What happens if borrower rating is not filled in the system?
Ans. The very purpose is defeated and the bank is deprived of the benefits
accruing from the rating.
Q14. What is short term and long term rating?
:14
Q17. Do I need to take unconditional undertaking in all accounts & facilities?
Ans. RBI has introduced risk weights on un-drawn/partially undrawn portion of
facilities if the same are not unconditionally cancellable. As such, to make the
12
facilities unconditionally cancellable, such undertakings are obtained, which
/20 19
form part of loan documents and need to be captured under CCLD menu
option of CBS.
19
/03 633
Ans. Functionality to capture the same has been developed in CCLD menu of CBS
where branches to mark the flag “Y” or “N”.
Q21. Do I need to take this every time when limit is enhanced?
Ans. The undertaking is a part of loan document. Hence it is to be obtained with
fresh documents.
Q22. What is draw down schedule?
Ans. It is applicable in term loans accounts, where the disbursement is spread over
more than one year in different stages by obtaining draw down schedule duly
approved by competent authority. Disbursement scheduled for future stages
do not attract risk weight for undrawn amount. Detailed Guidelines issued vide
ITD-CBS circular 73/2011 on 27th July 2011.
Q23. Do I need to take draw down in all term loan accounts?
Ans. It is required where disbursement is spread in stages spanning over more
than a year.

/20 19
Q28. Why there is so much stress on correct feeding of one time casual limits
(FOBP/ODD etc) permitted to sundry parties, which do not enjoy regular
limits. Ans. As already discussed, risk weights have also been introduced
on un-availed portion of facilities. Bank can avoid the same by taking
undertaking in personal accounts, but no such undertaking is possible in
these impersonal accounts. Hence, it becomes imperative to ensure that the
limits in such accounts do not exceed the outstanding. Otherwise also, such
limits are fed in for operational convenience only without any sanction.

projects (except for captive consumption) under CRE segment. Such projects
should ordinarily not include non-residential commercial real estate. However,
integrated housing projects comprising of some commercial space (e.g.
shopping complex, school, etc.) can also be classified under CRE-RH, provided
that the commercial area in the residential housing project does not exceed
10% of the total Floor Space Index (FSI) of the project. In case the FSI of the
commercial area in the predominantly residential housing complex exceeds the
ceiling of 10%, the project loans should be classified as CRE and not CRE-RH.

the sale of the asset. The borrower may be, but is not required to be, an SPE (Special
Purpose Entity), an operating company focused on real estate construction or
holdings, or an operating company with sources of revenue other than real estate. The
12
distinguishing characteristic of IPRE versus other corporate exposures that are
/20 19
collateralised by real estate is the strong positive correlation between the prospects for
repayment of the exposure and the prospects for recovery in the event of default, with
19
From the definition of IPRE given above it may be seen that for an exposure to be
classified as IPRE/CRE, the essential feature would be that the funding will result in
the creation / acquisition of real estate (such as, office buildings to let, retail space,
multifamily residential buildings, industrial or warehouse space, and hotels) where the
prospects for repayment would depend primarily on the cash flows generated by
the asset. Additionally, the prospect of recovery in the event of default would
also depend primarily on the cash flows generated from such funded asset which
23
is taken as security, as would generally be the case. The primary source of cash
flow (i.e. more than 50% of cash flows) for repayment would generally be lease or
rental payments or the sale of the assets as also for recovery in the event of default
where such asset is taken as security.
These guidelines will also be applicable to certain cases where the exposure may
not be directly linked to the creation or acquisition of CRE but the repayment
would come from the cash flows generated by CRE. For example, exposures taken
against existing commercial real estate whose prospects of repayments primarily
depend on rental/ sale proceeds of the real estate should be classified as CRE. Other
such cases may include: extension of guarantees on behalf of companies engaged in
commercial real estate activities, exposures on account of derivative transactions
undertaken with real estate companies, corporate loans extended to real estate
companies and investment made in the equity and debt instruments of real estate
companies.
Indirect Exposure
Fund based and non-fund based exposures on National Housing Bank (NHB)
and Housing Finance Companies (HFCs).
It may be noted that as per the revised RBI guidelines, the scope of exposure to
Real Estate Sector has been enlarged and now the following category of advances
will also form part of Real Estate Sector Exposure:
i) Housing loans to public;
ii) Finance against Mortgage of Immovable Property;
iii) Finance against Future Lease Rentals;
iv) Investments in Mortgage based securities (MBS) and other securitized
:14
exposures i.e. a) Residential and b) Commercial Real Estate.

It may be observed that two sets of revenue sub-codes have been created in CBS –
One applicable for HO Divisions & ZAOs and the other for all branches/Cos/other
offices.
Amount of Income from Legal Settlement decided in favour of the Bank: This
pertains to income received on a/c of legal settlements decided in favour of the bank
and the amount that has been credited into P & L a/c (PNB 260). This income shall
NOT INCLUDE the recovery of interest or other charges in borrowal accounts.
Given below are two such examples which are illustrative and not exhaustive in
nature:
(i) Bank booked a car by paying advance payment but the dealer was not able to
deliver the car for a long. The bank filed a suit and was awarded refund of
amount along-with payment of compensation. The compensation received over
and above the amount paid and cost of suit was credited in the P & L account.
Only that portion over and above the amount paid and cost of suit will be
booked against Revenue sub code 2061605 & 20616105.
(ii) In any suit involving bank (not in lender capacity e.g. defamation suit etc.) and
case is decided in favour of the bank and receives some amount and the same
is credited to P & L account net of expenses incurred. Such amount shall be
booked against Revenue sub code 2061605 & 20616105.
Amount of Income from Insurance Claims decided in favour of the Bank: This
pertains to income received on account of insurance claims decided in favour of the
bank and the amount has been credited into P & Loss Statement (PNB 260). This
income shall NOT INCLUDE the recovery of interest or other charges in borrowal
accounts. Given below are two such examples which are illustrative and not
exhaustive in nature:
(i) One of the Bank’s car, having Book value Rs. 0.80 lacs and insurance amount
of Rs. 1.00 lacs, met an accident and got totally damaged. Insurance claim of
Rs. 1.00 lacs was received. The insurance claim received over and above the
Book value was credited in the P & L account. Only that portion over and above
the book value of the asset will be booked against Revenue sub code 2061606
& 20616106.
(ii) In case of insurance of primary/ collateral security charged in favour of the bank
and thus insurance is obtained in Bank’s name. The amount of claim received is
credited to borrowers’ account and any amount received over and above the
bank’s dues is refunded to borrower. In this case, NO amount is credited to P&L
a/c and thus NO amount shall be booked against Revenue Sub Code 2061606
& 20616106.
The incomes booked under the new revenue codes will be got audited by the Central
/ Branch Statutory Auditors (CSAs) before finalization of Balance Sheet in the

obligation to get the tax audit conducted for the financial year 2018-19. Bank’s tax
audit will be conducted by the Central Statutory Auditors on the basis of:-
(i) The tax audit reports to be submitted by the respective auditors (Form 3CA &
Form 3CD) along with Annexure & Inputs in case of audited branches and
administrative offices and
(ii) Statements (Form 3CD) along with Annexure & Inputs by the Branch Heads

The Tax Audit Report is to be submitted on-line through a web application namely

annexure, Input Sheet, preparation and download of Audit Report (3CD) has been
provided in the CFA for user.
For the purpose of tax audit, a questionnaire as per Form 3CD consisting of 44
clauses in which information/comments of the auditor in case of audited
branches/offices and statements in case of unaudited branches/offices is required to
be filled in. Certain new clauses have been incorporated in the Tax audit Report

Tax Audit Report as per Form 3CA as prescribed under the Income Tax Rules. Most
of the clauses of Form 3CD is either not applicable as Assessee being a bank or to

case of audited branches/offices. Thereafter, One set of soft copy (branch copy) of
tax audit report (PDF) as fed in CFA be downloaded, got signed by the auditor in
case of audited offices and kept as branch copy. It has been observed that in most of
the branches, there is NIL information in many Annexure and submitting such
Annexure having NIL information serves no purpose. Rather, it results in wastage of
man power delaying thereof the compilation process of Tax audit at HO level.
Therefore, only those Annexure having some information/data is to be
submitted and all others having NIL information are not to be submitted.
(b.) Nodal Officer at Circle Office to ensure that all the Branches under their

Guidance Note:
i. Prior period items refer only to Income which arise in current period as a result of
errors or omissions in preparation of financial statements of one or more prior periods.
(iii) Entries booked in prior period based on accounting estimates which by nature are
approximations may need revision as additional information became known in current
period e.g. Income recognized on outcome of contingency which previously could
not be estimated reliably does not constitute a prior period item. In such cases,
though income may relate to earlier year, it can be considered as arising on basis that
liability materialized or crystallized during the current financial year and such cases are not
to be reported under this clause.
(iv) All foreseeable income to be booked on accrual basis. MOC given by branch
auditor to be given effect before finalizing P& L statement of 31.3.2019. Check if MOC
passed at CO/HO level and if so then such entries not to be reported.
(v) Thorough scrutiny of items based on facts to be done before reporting entries giving
reasons for crediting income of prior year(s) booked in this year in Col. No. (6).
(vi) The objective of reporting prior period items is to know their material impact on P&L
of current period.

to be booked. Only expenditure items which crystallized in previous year and for
which no MOC was given effect at branch / circle/HO level and expenditure
booked during current year are to be reported .
(ii) Thorough scrutiny of entries based on facts to be done before reporting as
income tax authorities do not allow prior period expenditure; Branch to give
detailed reasons for debiting expenditure of prior period in this year in Col. No.(6).
(iii) Payment of rent “revised” on or after 1.4.2018 from back date for months of
previous year booked during 2018-19 is not prior period expenditure.
(iv) Payment of arrears of salary on wage revision, salary for suspended /dismissal
period on reinstatement by Disciplinary Authority/order of Court, of past period, paid
during 2018-19 is not prior period expenditure.
(v) Officiating allowance (OA) is paid in succeeding months for total no. of days of month
an employee has worked in branch. OA for March, 2019 paid in April, 2019 and

expenditure.
(vi) Any refund of interest/charges/Commission of/LG etc. arrived in financial year 2018-
19 should not be treated as prior period expenditure
(vii) Interest for past period paid at the time of renewal of FDR is not prior period as

Payment of interest for past period on settlement of claims in financial year 2018-19
in favor of legal heirs in case of deceased depositor’s FDRs, is not prior period.

Circle official is required to play the role of the facilitator, provider and coordinator. At times
circle office will also be consolidating and reconciling the data inputs of various statements,
with the help of the other Sections of the Circle Office. They will be taking care of various
aspects of the closing work, to ensure smooth audit.
Time is the essence of the balance sheet exercise. Circles Offices are required to
initiate all possible steps to ensure timely submission of closing returns and
statements without compromising on the quality. For this, proper follow-up with the
branches/offices is necessary. All efforts must be made to inform the important
changes in the bank’s guidelines to all the branches/offices, well in time.
Communicate the names, addresses & telephone numbers of the branch statutory
auditors (if available from the previous years lists etc.) to the branches.
Send letters to all the auditors, welcoming them for the audit work of our bank and
inform them:
(i) Telephone numbers of the Executive Incharge & other dealing officials of
the Circle Balance Sheet Cell. This facilitates the auditors to contact the
Circle Office in case of any constraints faced during the audit of the
branches.
(ii) Apprise the auditors about deposits & advances of the branches to be
audited by them to facilitate & organize the audit programme.
Follow up with the branches and the auditors for an early start/finalization of audit
and submission of the audit report.
Be in touch with the branches to ensure that wherever required, necessary
guidance/support is provided, to avoid unnecessary MOCs, especially in large
borrowal accounts.
In case of any difference in opinion in respect of any issue, with the Auditor,
wherever required necessary guidance be sought from the concerned HO division,
through their Circle Offices.
No issues/MOCs be left to be discussed at the Head Office level. This results in
delay in finalization of accounts of the bank.
All efforts be made for maintaining the minimum possible level of Suspense,
Sundries (including non-finacle) Draft Payable Imprest, Inter-bank entries etc., as
these have multiple adverse impact. First being, requirement of provision for the long
outstanding entries and secondly these affect the CRAR of the bank adversely. The
dealing Inspection/Audit division at Circle Office must initiate necessary steps to
keep the balance of Impersonal Heads at the minimum level.
Before start of the audit, Planning & Development Section at the Circle Office must
analyze the branch-wise position of the cost of deposit & yield on advances for checking
by the SCAs and in case of abnormal variations, matter must be immediately taken up
Despite the fact that branches/administrative offices are aware of the afore-said
facts, differences/discrepancies are observed due to the following:
Whenever a fixed asset item is transferred from a branch/office to the other, complete
details in respect of (i) original purchase value (ii) depreciation charged upto the
previous year (iii) book value as on the date of transfer, are not apprised. Generally
book value is informed by the transferor branch, which is inadvertently taken as the
original purchase value by the transferee branch, taking depreciation to date as
“NIL”.
An item is transferred and intimation is sent by the transferor branch but the same is
not/correctly/late responded by the transferee branch.

Many credit linked Govt Sponsored Schemes have a provision of back ended subsidy
i.e. the subsidy amount received from the Govt. remains with the bank branch and is
adjusted in the loan account after the lock-in-period prescribed in each scheme. The
subsidy amount is to be kept in PMRY as a Fixed Deposit carrying 0% interest and in
other schemes in the Subsidy Reserve Fund Account.
The detailed guidelines for administration of subsidy are given in our various schemes
as under:
Reserve Bank of India, Central Office, Mumbai has issued Circular RBI / 2018-19 /89
FIDD .GSSD .CO.BCNo.11/ 09.16.03 /2018-19 dated Dec. 6, 2018 incorporating
guidelines on National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM).
The Government of India, Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA),
has restructured the existing Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) and
launched the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM). The Self Employment
Programme (SEP) component of NULM will focus on providing financial assistance
through a provision of interest subsidy on loans to support establishment of Individual &
Group Enterprises and Self-Help Groups ((SHGs) of urban poor.
The existing provision of capital subsidy for USEP (Urban Self Employment
Programme) and UWSP (Urban Women Self-Help Programme) components of SJSRY
has been replaced by interest subsidy for loans to Individual enterprise (SEP- I), Group
enterprise (SEP- G) and Self Help Groups (SHGs).
All branches would be eligible for getting interest subvention under the scheme.
After disbursement of loan to the beneficiaries, the concerned branch of the bank will
send details of disbursed loan cases to ULB along with details of interest subsidy
amount.
(i) Subsidy disbursal – The PMRY has been discontinued w.e.f April 2008 by
Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises, Govt. of India, New
Delhi. However, the guidelines on administration of subsidy contained
in our Codified Circular referred to above will continue to be operative in
the existing loan account which are reproduced hereunder:
The subsidy made available by Government of India and passed on to the banks
through Reserve Bank of India. As per the extant guidelines under the scheme, the
subsidy portion is kept as fixed deposit with the banks in the name of the borrower for
the duration of the term loan component but will not earn any interest. The subsidy
deposit will be available to the borrower for adjustment against the last instalment(s)
due under the term loan component. In any case, the fixed deposit should run for a
minimum period of 3 years and would be available for adjustment only thereafter.
a) As the subsidy amount is remitted in advance to the Head Office of the bank,
the date of the fixed deposit created out of subsidy amount will be the date on
which the last instalment of the loan is disbursed by the branch. From that
date, no interest will be charged on the subsidy portion of the loan.
b) Even if the subsidy amount is received by the Head Office after the loan is
disbursed, to avoid inconvenience to the borrowers, the FD shall run from the
date on which the last of instalment of the loan was disbursed and no interest
on the subsidy portion of the loan shall be charged from that date.
Further, guidelines on subsidy handling in Term Loan accounts opened prior to 01st
April 2012 have been circulated vide ITD Circular No.ITD/CBS/51/2012 dated
26.09.2012.
