Project on Bank of India

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

A considerable importance has been placed on the role of


commercial banks by successive Governments in the development
of the economy of our country. It is almost certain that a bank will
be associated with every project of industry/trade or business
irrespective of its size. The banks are now certainly catering to the
credit needs of a large variety of projects, big or small, in all the
sectors of economy including agriculture, trade, industry and
services etc. Granting of short term finance for working capital
requirements has always remained an area exclusively reserved for
commercial banks. Banks have now assumed the role of a
development institution in promoting small projects in all the
sectors of economy besides increasing their presence even in big
industrial projects.

The lending policies of banks have also undergone a sea change


with the passage of time and there had been a few historical events
which had an important bearing on the general approach of a
banker towards lending.

The objective of this study is to envisage ideal framework of


corporate finance management for Indian Banks. It will be of
interest to have a brief discussion of various approaches of banks
towards lending and their relative importance in present scenario.

The scope of project includes study of -

1. The different types of credit facilities provided by the bank.


2. The credit assessment techniques for different types of credit
facilities.
3. The credit appraisal and monitoring standards to meet
genuine credit needs of clients.
4. The credit evaluation system.
5. Bank’s credit portfolio and analysis of its credit lending
pattern.

PROPOSED METHODOLGY:

The information on the project under study will be obtained from the Bank employees
and officials. Also I have to study various files and the official correspondence of the
Bank The next stage is to understand the actual corporate finance process adopted by
‘S’ Bank. It includes understanding of the credit proposals of certain selected
borrowers as prepared by the Bank. Also bank’s credit portfolio will be analyzed. The
methodology also includes making actual proposal of one of its proposed clients,
which will help to get practical experience of the corporate finance methodology.

BANKING SCENARIO

The financial system is the lifeline of the economy. The changes in


the economy get mirrored in the performance of the financial
system, more so of the banking industry.

The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized,


private banks and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve
Bank of India acts as a centralized body monitoring any
discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. It is the foremost
monitoring body in the Indian financial sector. The nationalized
banks (i.e. government-owned banks) continue to dominate the
Indian banking arena. Industry estimates indicate that out of 274
commercial banks operating in India, 223 banks are in the public
sector and 51 are in the private sector. The private sector bank grid
also includes 24 foreign banks that have started their operations
here. Under the ambit of the nationalized banks come the
specialized banking institutions. These co-operatives, rural banks
focus on areas of agriculture, rural development etc. Indian
nationalized banks continue to be the major lenders in the economy
due to their sheer size and penetrative networks which assures
them high deposit mobilization.

The banks before nationalisation were generally catering to the


needs of large industrial houses and big trade and laid a great
emphasis on the safety of their funds and insisted upon availability
of good tangible security to cover the advance. Offer of an
acceptable form of good tangible security would always have a very
positive influence on the decision of the banker to grant advance.
This approach resulted in cornering out of scarce financial resources
available with banks by a small group of individuals and other users
who had necessary security to offer to the banks. This process also
resulted in ignoring the genuine needs of other prospective
borrowers who could not provide required security though they had
good project in hand. This was truly an example of class banking
and was cited as an important reason for nationalisation of 14 major
commercial banks in 1969 by Government of India. It was envisaged
to redistribute the financial resources available in the economy in a
more equitable manner and to ensure that credit needs of all the
sectors of economy and all sort of borrowers are adequately met. It
was the first major steps towards the march to mass banking.

Economic Liberalization & Financial Sector reforms introduced in


1991 followed by Second Phase of Financial Sector reforms in 1997
ushered in an era of fast track growth in size, technology and
deliverables of Banks in India.

The financial sector reforms gradually moved the Banking Industry


from a regulated environment to a deregulated market economy. In
this process, banking operations transformed from its traditional
intermediary role to a business of risk return trade off.

RAISING OF FINANCE

Finance for a project in India can be raised by way of:

(a) Share Capital

(b) Long-term Borrowings

(c) Short-term Borrowings

Both share capital and long-term borrowings are used to finance


fixed assets plus the margin money required to obtain bank
borrowings for working capital. Working capital is financed mainly
from bank borrowings and from unsecured loans and deposits.

Term finance is mainly provided by various banks, All India


Development Banks, specialized financial institutions and
investment institutions. In addition, term finance is also provided by
the state financial corporations, the state industrial development
corporations and commercial banks.

The role of the financial & banking institutions is not merely


confined to lending of funds. They render non fund based facilities
as well like opening of letter of credit, issue of bank guarantees etc.
besides there are private investment companies involved in direct
and indirect financing of the projects and also extending lease
financing.

4
Project on Bank of India

Depending on the size of borrowings, the borrower can avail of term


loan as well as working capital limits from either a single or a
number of financial institutions and commercial banks. Hence, mode
of finance can be of three types. They are –

1. Sole Banking: Only one bank looks after all the financial
requirements of the borrower.

2. Multiple Banking: Different banks provide finance and


different banking facilities to a single borrower without having
a common arrangement and understanding between the
lenders. The practice of multiple banking has increased
tremendously during the last years. This is due to the
increasing competition and the bankers desire to grow in a
short span of time.

3. Consortium Financing: Under consortium financing, several


banks (or financial institutions) finance a single borrower with
common appraisal, common documentation, joint supervision
and follow-up exercises.

BANK OF INDIA

Bank of India was founded on 7th September, 1906 by a group of eminent


businessmen from Mumbai. The bank was under private ownership and control till
July 1969 when it was nationalised along with 13 other banks.

Beginning with one office in Mumbai. With a paid-up capital of Rs.50 lakh
and 50 employees, the Bank has made a rapid growth over the years and blossomed
into a mighty institution with a strong national presence and sizable international
operations. In business volume, the Bank occupies a premier position among the
nationalised banks.

The Bank has 3021 branches as on 31.03.2009 in india spread over different
states/union territories including 136 specified branches. These branches are
controlled through 48 Zonal offices. There are 28 branches/offices abroad which
include three representative offices. The Bank came out with its maiden public issue
in 1997 and followed on Qualified Institutions placement in February 2008. Total no.

has been in the forefront of introducing various innovative services and systems.
Business has been conducted with the successful blend of traditional values and ethics
and the most modern infrastructure. The Bank has been the first among the nationalise
banks to establish a fully computerised branch and ATM facility at the Mahalaxmi
Branch at Mumbai way back in 1989. The Bank is also founder member of SWIFT in
India. It pioneered the introduction of the health code system in 1982,for
evaluating/rating its credit portfolio.

The bank association with the capital market goes back to 1921 when it
entered into an agreement with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to manage the
BSE clearing House. It is an association that has blossomed into a joint venture with
BSE , called the BOI Shareholding Ltd. To extend depository services to the stock
Broking community.

Home loans are to be considered only on floating interest basis. Sanction of loans
on fixed interest basis has been discontinued;

If registered original title deeds are not available for creating equitable
mortgage, for any reason, at the time of disbursement, it may be submitted maximum
within 6 months. Any delay beyond 6 months will attract a penal interest of 0.5% p.a.
from the date of first disbursement . However in genuine cases, the ZM may approve
refund of penal interest charged during a particular quarter after receipt of title deeds.

OTHER INCENTIVE

With a view to provide life insurance cover to housing loan borrowers


(accounts of individual(s) only) against risk of death during tenure of the loan, we
have come out with a group insurance scheme in tie-up with ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance Co. Ltd. (IPLIC).

24
Project on Bank of India

REPAYMENT:

Maximum 20 years (including the moratorium or repayment holiday, at the option of


the beneficiary, till completion of construction or 18 months from the disbursement of
the first instalment of the loan, whichever is earlier).

• The repayment period should not extend beyond the period of retirement of the
borrower or on his reaching 65 years of age, whichever is earlier.

• For housing finance granted to borrowers, in rural areas, repayment of


instalments/ interest may be stipulated in quarterly, half-yearly or annual basis
to coincide with the income generation pattern. The borrowers/ co-borrowers
should have adequate repayment capacity when such relaxations are agreed
upon.

We may consider selectively requests to capitalize the interest charged during the
moratorium period and repay the same along with the principal. Preferably the interest
should be recovered as and when charged. Where interest applied during the
moratorium period is to be capitalized and recovered alongwith the principal, the
decision should be taken at the time of sanction of the proposal and we should ensure
that EMI is calculated taking into account the interest for the moratorium period. The
interest to be capitalized during the moratorium period shall be within the loan
amount eligible.
The EMI of the Home Loan is linked to rate of interest as well as to the tenure of the
loan. The borrower opting for floating rate of interest for a specific period of
repayment will have to bear the risk of additional higher EMIs whenever there is an
increase in rate of interest.
It is very much essential that we transparently communicate with each of the
borrowers upon increase in rate of interest as per the standard draft communication
(enclosed with rate of interest circulars). Apart from this, during the visit of the home
loan borrower to the branch and/or at the first contact with the borrower for obtaining
annual letters of acknowledgement (L-444C / L-444D), it is essential that we convey
very clearly the increase in rate of interest in home loan account.

25
Project on Bank of India

At the time of increase in interest rate of home loans, the request of the borrower, if
any, for retaining the same level of EMI with a longer repayment period needs to be
considered favourably, provided the age of the borrower permits longer tenure of the
loan within the norms of the scheme. We have to consider such request of the
borrowers and make suggestive efforts to find a solution to the problem of the
borrower to meet their future EMI commitment comfortably. These efforts as part of
credit monitoring are essential to ensure a healthy and default free home loan
portfolio.

In exceptional circumstances, where the borrowers have opted for maximum 20 years
repayment period and grant of extension beyond 20 years is not provided in the
scheme, we may undertake a review of the repayment programme and provide for a
step-up in EMI from a future date so as to ensure that the borrower has sufficient
notice and time to meet the enhanced EMI commitments.

B. Housing Loan for purchase of constructed property/built up property

In cases where the applicant approaches the bank/FIs for a credit facility to purchase
the built up house/flat, it should be mandatory for him to declare by way of an
affidavit-cum-undertaking that the built up property has been constructed as per the
sanctioned plan and/or building bye-laws and as far as possible has a completion
certificate also.
An Architect appointed by the bank must also certify before disbursement of the loan
that the built up property is strictly as per sanctioned plan and/or building bye-laws.

26

category of unauthorized colonies unless and until they have been
regularized and development and other charges paid.

28
Project on Bank of India

b) Share Certificates of the co-operative housing society issued in borrower’s favour


as a member. If share certificate has not been issued by the society, an undertaking

d) Certified copy of the Conveyance Deed duly executed by the builder promoter in
favour of the society regarding Title Right and interest in the land/flat. If the
Conveyance Deed is yet to be executed, an undertaking should be obtained from the
society to forward a true copy of the Conveyance Deed to the Bank directly, as and
when the same is executed by the promoter builder. A proper No Objection letter also
should be obtained from the promoter builder assenting to the creation of mortgage by
the purchaser of the flat. Thereafter execution of Conveyance Deed should be
followed up and a certified copy of the Conveyance Deed obtained as soon as it is
executed.
e) Letter of no objection from the society

Mode of creation of Equitable Mortgage where flat is purchased from a Builder/


Promoter - Equitable mortgage where the flat is being purchased from a
builder/promoter and the building is under construction may be created by deposit of
the following documents:

a) Registered Agreement for sale executed by the builder/ promoter in favour of the
borrower.
b) A stamped undertaking from the promoter / builder
c) But in cases, where the original Sale Agreement is lodged for registration with the
Registrar/ Sub –Registrar of Assurance (RA/SRA), it often takes considerable time to
get back the same duly registered. In such cases i.e. where receipt of the registered

29
Project on Bank of India

documents is likely to be delayed by more than a month or so, equitable mortgage


may be created by deposit of:

A certified copy of Agreement (certified to be true copy by the RA/SRA)


Original receipt issued by the RA/SRA for the original document lodged with the
authority for the purpose of registration.

A letter addressed to the RA/SRA by the borrower, authorizing him to send the
registered document directly to the bank should be obtained in duplicate and the
original thereof to be sent to the RA/SRA along with a covering letter under property
acknowledgement of the RA/SRA. The original Agreement for sale should be
collected from the RA/SRA’s office when ready and kept with the other security
documents. Equitable Mortgage need not be created afresh.

In this regard, the branches can avail of the services of Bank’s empanelled lawyers for
collecting certified copy of the Agreement and thereafter the duly registered original
Agreement in due course from the RA/SRA. The cost of the services/charges of the
lawyers will be borne by the borrower. A letter authorizing the Bank to debit his
account with such charges obtained along with other security documents. Such
approval for creation of equitable mortgage by deposit of copy of title deeds certified
by RA/SRA and other prescribed documents can be given by a delegate of the rank of
Zonal Manager and above.

Legal Mortgage:
• In case of unavailability of title deeds i.e. mostly in case of ancestral
properties, legal mortgage may be created after obtaining approval of a delegate
of the rank of Zonal Manager and above who will give such approval after fully
satisfying himself about the clean marketable and unimpeachable title to the
properly.

Undertaking From Builder:


• Quite often the promoters / builders are reluctant to execute stamped
undertaking .It has, therefore, been decided that branches may obtain an

30
Project on Bank of India

undertaking from the promoters/builders on the letterhead as per extant


instructions but the same need not be stamped. In all cases, the extant
instructions, about obtention of approved Advocate’s Report on titles to the
property remain unchanged

SEARCH-REPORT (Title Opinion-cum-Nonencumbrance Report )

It should be obtained from an advocate on bank’s approved panel of advocates. The


original title deeds which the mortgagor proposes to deposit with the bank shall be
handed over to the advocate through bank only with a covering letter listing out
bank’s requirements as under:
i) Advocate must state in his title opinion-cum-non encumbrance report that he
has received and examined the original title deeds and verified the
genuineness of the same from the concerned office of the Sub-
Registrar/Registration authority concerned. In no case the advocate should
submit his report based on the Xerox copy or certified copy of the original title
deeds.
ii) Additionally he should also compare the contents of the latest deed/s by which
the title has been passed on in favour of the mortgagor ( borrower/guarantor)
with the document/s maintained in the office of the Sub-Registrar so as to
ensure authencity of the same. If the property offered as security is being
purchased out of bank finance and sale deed is yet to be executed, the
advocate should inter alia compare the contents of the latest deed/s by which
the Seller has acquired the title with the document/s maintained in the office of
the Sub-Registrar so as to ensure the title of the seller and that the buyer
(Mortgagor) would get a perfect title upon execution of the sale deed. A
confirmation to this effect should be made in the report of the advocate. If he
feels it necessary to cross check any prior title deeds, so as to give a proper
report, he should do so.
iii) Advocate should directly obtain the non encumbrance certificate from the
office of the Sub-Registrar (whereever there is provision for issuance of such
certificate ).
iv) The report should certify that the documents are adequately stamped as per
requirements of law of the state.

31
Project on Bank of India

documents/deeds /papers examined by him and full particulars of the
documents which are registered including the dates of execution and
registration of documents and the particulars of entries made in the
bookes/record of the Sub-Registrar/Registration authority with regard to such
documents.Original receipt of fees paid for SEARCH/ENCUMBRANCE
certificate to be obtained and kept on records.
vii) In every title opinion the advocate must trace the chain of title to the land in
question at least thirty years preceding the date of creation of mortgage. The
chain of title given in the title deed must also be verified by the advocate from
the office of the concerned Sub-Registrar /Revenue Authority/Municipal
Authority. A certificate to this effect must be given by him in his title report.
viii) In the report the advocate must state the devolution of title and refer to the
position regarding mutation of the name of the mortgagor in the record of
rights maintained by revenue authorities/Municipal Authorities showing the
title of the mortgagor over the property and certified copies of the mutation
entries must be submitted by the advocate along with his title report to the
bank.
ix) Wherever the position of possession over the land are recorded separately in
the records of the Revenue/ Municipal authorities the advocate must inspect
those records and make a reference to these in the title report and submit
certified copies of extracts from such records along with the reports.
x) In case the property to be mortgaged is occupied by tenants, the advocate must
include comments in his report on the status of occupants vis-à-vis bank’s
right to enforce the security.
xi) It should be addressed to the branch of the bank where the loan is to be
granted and the advocate and the advocate should directly deliver the
report/original documents to the Branch Manager in a sealed cover OR
Branch Officials should collect the same from the advocate in a sealed cover.
In no case the report/document should be handed over to the borrower or his
agent.

32
Project on Bank of India

xii) It should certify that the mortgagor has a clear, unencumbered and marketable
title to the property in question.
xiii) It should list the documents which are required to be deposited by the
mortgagor with the bank for creation of equitable mortgage charge.
xiv) It should also specify whether any permission is required to be obtained under
any Act or from any authority whatsoever for creation of mortgage charge in
favour of the bank. In case any such permission is required, details of the same
should be given.

To ensure that proper procedure has been followed for title verification of the
property to be mortgaged and the report contains all the required details as per
procedure of the bank in force, it must be checked and certified that the same meets
completely the requirements of the bank and contains the required details as per the
procedure of the bank in force, by branch officials, namely :
a) By the chief incumbent of the branch in case of branches headed by
officials below the rank of Chief Manager.
b) By the credit in-charge of the branch in case of branches headed by officials
of the rank of Chief Manager and above.

The search and Title Inspection Report need not be insisted upon in the following
cases:

At in an existing co-operative society is being purchased and all the original


documents are available and society confirms borrower’s membership the title, right
and interest in the flat and also his possession of the flat and certificate that there are
no encumbrances on the flat.

PRACTICAL PROBLEMS WITH BANK-case


Housing Loan - Interest Rate:
The complainant who represented his son alleged that his son had applied for a
housing loan at Fixed Rate of 7.5% but the bank sanctioned the loan at floating rate of
8% p.a. Subsequently the bank without any intimation to the party increased the
rate of interest from 8% to 11% at various stages. Since the party had applied for the
loan from the bank on a fixed rate basis, he took up the matter with the bank. The
bank was not responsive and did not furnish the required clarification to him. Not
satisfied by the bank’s attitude, the party
approached the Banking Ombudsman for redressal. The Banking Ombudsman
observed from the copy of the housing loan agreement that the loan was sanctioned at
a fixed rate of interest of 8% which would continue for minimum period of 5 years.
However, contrary to the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower, the bank had
charged the interest at floating rate varying from 8% to 11.5%. This action of the bank
violated the terms of the agreement and had led to collection of excess interest from
the complainant. The bank was directed to refund the excess interest collected and
charge interest only as per the agreed terms. This was complied with by the bank by
refunding Rs. 54,886.

46
Project on Bank of India

declaration/an affidavit confirming that no loans are availed from other


banks/financial institutes.
• There are many private institutions who offer placement after
completion of course but the institutes are not approved by
UGC/Govt./AICTE/AIBMS/ICMR etc. Applications of students
desirous of undergoing such courses may be sent to the higher
authority for consideration.

There is a Public Notice on the website of AICTE, at


www.aicte.ernet.in, where in the students are advised not to take
admission in technical education courses run by any institute which has
not been approved by AICTE. The students have been cautioned that
joining such unapproved programmes can have serious consequences
in employment as well as higher studies. The website also provide list
of unapproved technical institutions including 169 institutes running
presently without AICTE approval & another list of 104 institutes
under the category with foreign collaborations without AICTE
approvals. AICTE is a statutory body of Govt. Of India, and this public
notice assumes significance which can be precursor for more stringent
measures affecting the institutes which have not been recognised or
approved by AICTE. Any student approaching our bank seeking
education for a course in an Institute not approved by AICTE is to be
advised of this public notice. In case he/she is considered to be
financed for the course, a letter addressed to the bank stating that
he/she is aware of the risk of undertaking this course & is fully
responsible for the risk thereof, is to be obtained & kept on record.

The provisions of AICTE Act(52) of 1987 & the regulations laid down therein
makes the approval mandatory for any institution offering technical education
programmes in Engineering & Technology, Management, Computer Application,
Architecture & Town planning, Pharmacy, Hotel management & Catering technology,
applied Arts & Crafts, in India with or without foreign university collaboration.
Therefore, it is advisable to ensure that the loans being given is for course which

SME POLICY

I. MSME Definition:

(i) SME would henceforth be meant to include Micro Small and Medium
Enterprises (MSMEs). As per the MSMED Act 2006 (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises
Development Act 2006), the activities of these enterprises are classified into Manufacturing
and Service Categories.
(ii) The definitions of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises would thus be in
place of the existing definitions of Small & Medium Industries and SSSBEs/Tiny
Enterprises. The following important points may please be borne in mind:
 Micro Enterprises would include Tiny Industries also.

 Micro, Small Enterprises (Manufacturing) would mean (and replace) Small Scale
Industries (SSIs).
 Medium Enterprises (Manufacturing) would mean (and replace) Medium Industries
(MIs).
 Micro, Small Enterprises (Services) and Medium Enterprises (Services) would mean
Other Small & Medium Enterprises such as Professional & Self-Employed, Small Business
Enterprises, and Small Road/Water Transport Operators and Other Service enterprises,
engaged in providing/rendering of services.

shall be included in calculating their value:
 Import Duty (not to include miscellaneous expenses such as transportation from the
port to the site of the factory, demurrage paid at the port);
 Shipping Charges;

51
Project on Bank of India

 Transportation charges (other than sales tax or value-added tax and excise duty) for
indigeneous machinery from the place of their manufacture to the site of the enterprise);
 Charges paid for technical know-how for erection of plant machinery;
 Such storage tanks which store raw materials and finished products only and are not
linked with the manufacturing process;
 Fire-fighting equipment; and
 Such other items as may be specified, by notification from time to time.
(c) In case of Service Enterprises, the original cost to exclude furniture, fittings
and other items not directly related to the services rendered. Land and Building would also
not be included while computing the machinery/equipments cost.

(vii) Services Sector:


Service Enterprises are those engaged in providing or rendering of services
(subject to above investment criteria) and will include:
• Small Road and Water Transport Operators.
• Professional & Self-Employed.
• Small Businesses.
• All Other Service Enterprises.
An illustrative list of Services Enterprises is furnished in Annexure IV. It may be noted that
the activities should be of services nature and not any and every activity. It may be
industry-related such as industrial consultancy, industrial photography, auto
repairs/services/garages, Undertakings engaged in maintenance/repairs/testing/servicing of
vehicles/machinery etc or non-industry-related such as tailoring, X-Ray clinic, ISD/STD
Booths etc.
II. Classification of MSMEs Under Priority Sector:

The RBI has since taken into account the definition of MSMEs as per the
MSMED Act 2006 for purposes of their classification under Priority Sector. Accordingly all
the following advances would be eligible for classification as Priority Sector. It may
importantly be noted that all advances to Micro & Small Enterprises in both the manufacturing
and services sectors except private Retail Traders with credit limits up to Rs.20 lakhs and
advance to Traders under Public Distribution System or Fair Price Shops/Consumer Co.op

52
Project on Bank of India

Socities, have been synchronised with the MSMED definition to fall under Priority Sector
classification.

(a) Small Enterprises (Direct and Indirect Finance):

(i) Direct finance to small enterprises shall include all loans given to micro and small
(manufacturing) enterprises engaged in manufacture/ production, processing or preservation
of goods, and micro and small (service) enterprises engaged in providing or rendering of
services, and whose investment in plant and machinery and equipment (original cost excluding
land and building and such items as mentioned therein) respectively, does not exceed the
amounts specified above under (vi) Investment Criteria. The micro and small (service)
enterprises shall include small road & water transport operators, small business, professional
& self-employed persons, and all other service enterprises, subject to the above investment
criteria. (Please importantly note that Retail Trade is dealt separately below).

(ii) Indirect finance to small enterprises shall include finance to any person providing inputs
to or marketing the output of artisans, village and cottage industries, handlooms and to
cooperatives of producers in this sector.

(iii) Reserve Bank of India has classified Retail Trader advances separate from MSME
Enterprises. As such, advances to Retail Traders would not be classified under MSMEs,
although such advances would be handled and reported by SME-SBU.

• Under Retail Traders, Private Retail Traders with credit limits up to Rs.20
lakhs would alone be eligible to be classified as Priority Sector. Thus, all advances to
Private Retail Traders exceeding Rs.20 Lakhs would not be covered under Priority Sector.
• Retail Trade shall include retail traders dealing in essential commodities (fair
price shops), and consumer co-operative stores (irrespective of credit limits).

(b) Medium Enterprises:

Bank’s lending to Medium Enterprises in both the manufacturing and services


sectors would not be included for the purpose of reckoning under the Priority Sector.

53
Project on Bank of India

III. Impact of the Latest RBI Guidelines:

Due to the revised MSMED Act definition of MSMEs, some accounts may
have to be shifted from Medium to Small enterprises. Advances to Retail Traders /Wholesale
Traders/Other Traders would no longer be part of MSME advances. Under Transport
Operators, the number of vehicles (prescribed earlier as not exceeding 10 vehicles) is no
longer the criterion but the overall original investment in such vehicles would determine their
status as MSME.

IV. Target for Micro & Small Enterprises Credit:

The RBI has prescribed the following overall target for the Bank as a whole for
Micro & Small Enterprises credit :
Small Advances to small enterprises sector will be reckoned in
Enterprise computing performance under the overall priority sector target
Advances of 40 per cent of ANBC (Adjusted Net Bank Credit) or
credit equivalent amount of Off-Balance Sheet Exposure,
whichever is higher.

54
Project on Bank of India

icro enterprises
(i) 40 per cent of total advances to small enterprises sector should
Advances go to micro (manufacturing) enterprises having investment in pl
within and machinery up to Rs 5 lakh and micro (service) enterprises hav
Small investment in equipment up to
Enterprises Rs.2 Lakhs.
Sector
ii) 20 per cent of total advances to small enterprises sector
should go to micro (manufacturing) enterprises with investment
in plant and machinery above Rs 5 lakh and up to Rs. 25 lakh,
and micro (service) enterprises with investment in equipment
above Rs. 2 lakh and up to Rs. 10 lakh. (Thus, 60 per cent of
small enterprises advances should go to the micro enterprises).

iii) By corollary, the rest 40% should go to Small Enterprises(Manufacturing) w


investment in plant and Machinery more than Rs.25 lakhs and up to Rs.5 Crores as
well as to Small Enterprises (Services) with investment in
equipment more than Rs.10 lakhs and up to Rs.2 Crores
Export Export credit is not a part of priority sector for domestic
Credit commercial banks.

V. Filing of Memorandum by Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises:

There is a change in the entire registration process with the MSMED Act.2006
coming into force w.e.f. 02/10/2006. Vide Chapter III Section 8 (Page 7), the Act stipulates
certain important requirements from the Entrepreneurs which are quoted verbatim in the
Annexure hereto. Accordingly, the following would be the requirements under the MSMED
Act 2006:

a. New Enterprises established/to be established after the MSMED Act 2006:


A Memorandum has to be filed with the District Industries Centre under whose
jurisdiction the enterprise is located/proposed to be located. Depending on the activity of the
Enterprise, the filing of the said memorandum is either mandatory or discretionary as
shown below:
Sl.No. Enterprises Memorandum

55
Project on Bank of India

A. Micro & Small Enterprises in Not mandatory but only discretionary with the
both Manufacturing and discretion left to the Entrepreneur concerned.
Services Sectors.
B. Medium Enterprises in the Not mandatory but only discretionary with the
Services Sectors discretion left to the Entrepreneur.
C. Medium Enterprises in Mandatory.
Manufacturing Sector

 However, with the advantages/benefits available in many ways to such


enterprises (A & B above), from several Authorities/Organisations, it is always
desirable (though not mandatory) to file Memorandum of Registration.
 Wherever SSI Registration Certificate Number is asked for by any other
body/authority, the units may furnish the date of filing the Memorandum and the
date of acknowledgement thereof, as received from the authorities.

b. Existing SSI & Medium Industries:

 In much the same way as above, it is not mandatory for an existing SME
(Mfg.) unit to file the Memorandum as above; however, at their discretion the
SME (Mfg.) may file the Memorandum, in view of the benefits available due to
Registration.
 An existing Medium industry (in the manufacturing sector), however,
should mandatorily file the Memorandum as required.

Credit Officers/Managers should importantly bring the above provisions to our


SME Borrowers’ knowledge/information for their necessary action.

56
Project on Bank of India

VI. Interest Rate Concessions:

(a) Only those enterprises which can be classified as MSMEs in


accordance with the above definitions would qualify for interest rate concessions. Any
other activity/enterprise, not falling under above MSME definition cannot,
therefore, be extended any concessions available to MSMEs. Wherever concessions
need to be given for such non-SME advances, the same would be in the normal course
(as applicable to and stipulated under C & IC advances). Wherever such concessions
were already given in the past, the same would have to be withdrawn immediately
under advice to the borrower concerned and appropriate interest rate fixed. If it is
desired to extend any concessions to such borrowers for business exigencies, the same
would be considered under Commercial & Institutional Credit and NOT MSME.

(b) A detailed list of the activities eligible for classification as SME (Manufacturing &
Services) is as per Annexures V(i) & (ii).

(c) In respect of schematic lendings, or advances under any specialized scheme like
Priyadarshini Yojana, Star SSI Suprime, Star Laghu Udyog Suvidha or medi-mobile
scheme or finance under Star Channel Credit or finance to cluster of accounts under
Cluster Finance, the rate prescribed for the scheme as a whole would prevail over, and
the rate concessions would not be applicable. Thus, wherever the interest rates are:
Fixed the existing rates would continue till reset.
Floating, i.e. the existing rates would be increased/decreased in tune with the
linked to BPLR PLR increase/decrease.
VII. Judicious Concessions: Although the concessions allowed as above are
applicable generally to NEW accounts, Zonal Managers as well as General Managers
overseeing Zones are authorised to offer the concessions selectively under the
following conditions as well:
• Only when there is an imminent threat of take-over of our existing accounts.
Delegatees have to satisfy themselves that such threat of take-over is genuine
and there is every chance of losing the account if the concession is not
granted.
• Our bid for taking over of satisfactory accounts from other Banks through
offer of concessional rates.

57
Project on Bank of India

The authority should be exercised with great restraint and with adequate justifications
so that the Bank’s bottomline does not get affected much.

Extant concessions to Borrowers who are no longer covered under


MSMEs (such as Retail Traders etc) would be withdrawn forthwith and in any case,
such concessions to non-MSME Traders would, as already stated, be as applicable to
advances under Commercial & Institutional Credit (C & IC) sector.

Branches may obtain rating done by External Agencies such as


CRISIL, Dun & Bradstreet, SMERA etc before interest concessions are extended.

VIII. SME Cells@ Zonal Offices: Specialised SME Credit Cells have been set up at
following Zonal Offices with the following functions:

 Proposals falling within the Branch Manager’s Delegated Authority:


Branches should own responsibility for the borrower’s credentials and activity
and ensure existing procedures/processes to continue.
 Proposals beyond the Branch Manager’s Delegated authority: All
proposals would be forwarded by Branches with all related papers and their
recommendations for evaluation at SME Cell. In other words, it is centralised
processing at the SME Cell.
 Branches would be free from processing of such proposals (beyond their
delegated authority) and sanction formalities and be responsible only for
obtention of security documents from the borrower and for perfection of other
securities as well as monitoring of the unit’s operations.
 Proposals processed by the Cell would be directly submitted to the
Sanctioning Authority at the Zonal Office, i.e. without any intervening
authority.
 Turnaround time would thus be reduced, ensuring that stipulated time
schedules are strictly followed by both- Branches and the Zonal SME Cell;
 The critical parameter for measuring the Cell’s performance would be the
reduced Turnaround time and SME business growth.

58
Project on Bank of India

IX. Take Over of Accounts: Branches/Zones may consider take-over of advance


accounts from other Banks/FIs if the following minimum financial parameters and
conditions are complied with:
 Accounts should be eligible for a credit rating of minimum AA as per
our credit rating model treating the account as a new one.
 The accounts to be taken over should be standard accounts with the
existing Bank.
 The firm/company continuously registering increasing trend in sales
volume and making cash profit for at least last three years.
 Maximum debt equity ratio of 3:1 in the case of Medium Enterprises, and
Small Enterprises enjoying working capital limits over Rs.5.00 Crores and
4:1 in the case of Tiny Enterprises, and Small Enterprises enjoying
working capital limits up to Rs.5.00 Crores.

 Current Ratio around 1.20:1 for accounts with limits up to Rs 5 crores,


where Turn Over Method alone would be applied for assessment of the
Working Capital (as against 1.33 prescribed normally).
 Minimum Interest Service Coverage Ratio (ISCR) of 1.50:1 as against
1.75:1 prescribed normally.
 If Term Loan is also proposed to be taken over, the minimum Debt:
Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) should be 1.25.
 The Asset Coverage Ratio should not be less than 1.50.

X. Credit Appraisal

Although same appraisal norms cannot be uniformly applied to Micro, Small


and Medium Enterprises, broadly the appraisal would involve:

 Proper identification of the Proponent(s) and his/her/their antecedents in


accordance with KYC Norms/Guidelines, the proponents’ experience,
educational and social background, technical/ professional competence,
integrity, initiatives, etc,.

59
Project on Bank of India

 Checking out for Wilful Defaulters’ List of RBI, Specific Approval List
(SAL) of ECGC etc,.

 The acceptability of the product manufactured, its popularity/market


demand, market competitors.

 Evaluation of State and Central Govt. Policies (enabling environment)


with specific reference to the Enterprise in question, Environmental
stipulations, Availability of necessary infrastructure-roads, power, labour,
raw material and markets.

 Techno-economic Appraisal of units where it is felt absolutely necessary


by the Zonal Managers.

 Project Cost, the Proponent’s own financial contribution, projections for


three years, and other important parameters which would include the BEP,
liquidity, solvency, and profitability ratios, etc,.

XI. Working Capital Assessment

For working capital limits up to Rs.5 Crores , Turnover Method


would be applicable as mandated under Nayak Committee Recommendations for
financing working capital needs of the SMEs @ 20% of the projected turnover
based on the assumption of a three month operating cycle. It is abundantly clarified
that this 20% is the minimum WC limit to be sanctioned even if the proponent’s
operating cycle is shorter than 3 months. Branches should, however, ensure to restrict
the drawings in such cases to actual drawing power. MPBF method may be resorted
in specific cases with longer operating cycle. Branches should obtain and scrutinise
latest audited financials of the constituent in all cases of WC limits above Rs.10 lakhs.
In case of provisional balance sheets it should be ensured that in the audited
financials, the variation is not beyond +/- 5%. CMA Data are not also required to be
obtained in case of SME Proposals up to Rs.5 Crores under Turnover Method.

60
Project on Bank of India

The next year’s sales projections made by the borrower, however,


would have to be corroborated by the trend in sales over 2 years, last year actual sales
through verification of the following indicative parameters (besides the financial data
submitted by the borrower):

 Sales Ledger/Sales Turnover.


 Credit Summation in the account.
 Sales Memos or Invoices/Delivery Challans.
 Sales Tax Paid/Turnover Tax/Excise Register, as applicable,
 Electricity Bills –wherever applicable.
 Orders on hand/expected orders.
 Installed capacity vis-à-vis the projections.
 Overall market trend etc,.

Such projections should be within reasonable limits say 25% over


last year’s sales. However, in exceptional cases deviations from this may be allowed
if supported by LCs/Firm orders on hand etc,.

XII.Current Ratio:
While a benchmark current ratio of 1.33:1 is always desirable, it
is felt that some relaxations are provided to SMEs in their Current Ratio. They may
be permitted to maintain a minimum current ratio of 1.20:1 as against 1.25-1.33:1
stipulated for others, although ideally under Turnover Method this ratio should be
1.25:1. Such deviations are not to be allowed except by one level above the
sanctioning authority, particularly if the rating gets below AA. Borrower has to
improve the position by building up the current assets through infusion of more
capital/funds. Classification of Current Assets and Current Liabilities under MPBF
method would be based on extant RBI/Bank guidelines.
XIII. Debt:Equity Ratio:
The following may be accepted as the benchmark in this regard:
 W/C Limits up to Rs.5 Crores to Micro & Small Enterprises: 4:1.
 W/C Limits over Rs.5 Crores to Micro & Small Enterprises: 3:1.
 W/C Limits to Medium Enterprises: 3:1.

61
Project on Bank of India

XIV. Credit Rating Model

Govt./RBI had advised that Banks may initiate necessary steps to


rationalise the cost of loans to SME sector by adopting a transparent rating system
with cost of credit being linked to the credit rating of enterprise. The Bank’s Board
had already approved on 04/02/2005 adoption of the following credit risk models,
developed by ICRA. The entry level requirements prescribed in this new model would
be applicable:

a) Large Corporate Model (Domestic/ECBs/Syndicated Loans)


(Fund/Non-Fund-Based limits of Rs.500 Lakhs and above or Turnover Rs.5000
Lakhs);
b) Mid-segment Model (Fund/ Non-Fund-Based limits of Rs.100
Lakhs and above but not exceeding Rs.500 Lakhs and Turnover below Rs.5000
Lakhs);
c) SBS/SSI Model (Fund/ Non-Fund-Based limits of Rs.10 Lakhs
and above but not exceeding Rs.100 Lakhs) scoring model);

The Bank had already adopted rating models a & c above. The model
for amounts between Rs.1 Crore and Rs.5 Crores is under progress.

The ratings given by reputed Credit Rating agencies such as SMERA,


CRISIL etc, which have been approved by the National Small Industries Corporation,
are also considered for granting concessions in the interest rates, in tune with such
credit ratings, based on parameters such as turnover, market position, operating
efficiency, existing financial position, and management evaluation.

XV. Collateral Security and Margin Norms:


As per extant RBI guidelines, Micro & Small Enterprises with limits
up to Rs.5 Lakhs (i.e. erstwhile Tiny and SSI) may be sanctioned credit facilities
without any collateral security. For customers with good track record, this waiver of
collateral security may be for limits up to Rs.50 Lakhs, provided Credit Guarantee
Fund Trust for Small Industries (CGFTSI) -since renamed as Credit Guarantee

62
Project on Bank of India

Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE)- cover is available.
However, the issue of collateral security would be addressed on a case-specific basis.

Credit facilities extended to Micro & Small Enterprises either by way


of Term Loan or Working Capital or both, without any collateral security or third
party guarantee, will be covered, if eligible, under CGTMSE scheme. The coverage
of the Scheme has since been extended to all new and existing Micro and Small
Enterprises (both in the manufacturing and Services Sectors).

The credit guarantee cover has been raised from 75% to 80% for the
following category of MSME advances:
• Loans to Micro Enterprises up to Rs.5 lakhs, and
• Loans to Micro and Small Enterprises operated and/or owned by women.
For all others, the cover would be available up to 75% of the amount in default
subject to maximum of Rs.37.50 Lakhs.

Till now, CGMTSE (erstwhile CGFTSI) charged one-time Joining fee of


1.50% and Annual Service fee of 0.75% of the sanctioned limits with credit facilities
up to Rs.25 Lakhs. This fee structure has since been revised by CGMTSE (erstwhile
CGFTSI) and a differential pricing based on slab of coverage has been introduced for
credit limits up to Rs.50 lakhs. Thus the following fee structure is prescribed by
CGTMSE (erstwhile CGFTSI) to all eligible MSME advances covered under the
scheme. However, our Bank would continue with the coverage to the extent of
75% of the credit facility sanctioned in all cases (and 80% in specified categories
such as to women and borrowers in North eastern states)

Extent of Guarantee One time Guarantee Fee Annual Service Fee


Coverage (%) of Credit (%) of Credit Facility (%) of Credit Facility

* Our Bank would continue with this slab only and other slabs given below are
only for the sake of information to branches.

63
Project on Bank of India

30 0.60 0.30

In terms of Board Approvals dated 29/07/2004, the Bank had already


decided to absorb 50% of the one-time guarantee fee to its Profit & Loss Account
with a view to mitigate the burden on the borrowers and encourage them to take the
guarantee cover under CGFTSI scheme.

Margin requirements, which normally are 25%, would vary depending


on the nature of the special Schemes.

XVI. Time Norms for Disposal of Applications:


With the switchover to the simple Turnover Method for all advances in
the SME segment up to Rs.5 Crores, the time for processing of the applications and
sanction has to be curtailed as under (from the date of submission of complete
papers by the borrower):
Limits Time Limit Not Exceeding
Up to and including Rs.25,000/= 4 Business Days.
Over Rs.25,000/= and up to Rs.10 Lakhs 8 Business Days.
Over Rs.10 Lakhs up to Rs.5 Crores 12 Business Days.
Over Rs.5 Crores 20 Business Days.
In case of rejections, approval shall have to be obtained from the next higher
authority, not below the level of Zonal Manager.

A register should be maintained at the branches to record the dates


of receipt of applications/ sanction/ disbursements/ rejections with reasons therefor.
