Background

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 6


In India, the definition of the business of banking has been given in the Banking
Regulation Act, (BR Act), 1949. According to Section 5(c) of the BR Act, 'a banking
company is a company which transacts the business of banking in India.' Further,
Section 5(b) of the BR Act defines banking as, 'accepting, for the purpose of lending
or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or
otherwise, and withdrawable, by cheque, draft, and order or otherwise.'

Banking is the business of providing financial services to consumers, The basic


services a bank provides are saving account, Time deposit, Loans that consumers can
use to purchase goods and services and basic cash management services such as
foreign currency exchange.

Banking Industry at a Glance

The commercial banking industry in India started in 1786 with the establishment of
the Bank of Bengal in Calcutta. The Indian Government at the time established three
Presidency banks, viz., the Bank of Bengal (established in 1809), the Bank of Bombay
(established in 1840) and the Bank of Madras (established in 1843). In 1921, the three
Presidency banks were amalgamated to form the Imperial Bank of India, which took
up the role of a commercial bank, a bankers' bank and a banker to the Government.
The Imperial Bank of India was established with mainly European shareholders. It was
only with the establishment of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as the central bank of the
country in 1935, that the quasi-central banking role of the Imperial Bank of India came
to an end.

To better align the banking system to the needs of planning and economic policy, it
was considered necessary to have social control over banks. In 1969, 14 of the major
private sector banks were nationalized. This was an important milestone in the history
of Indian banking. This was followed by the nationalization of another six private
banks in 1980. With the nationalization of these banks, the major segment of the
banking sector came under the control of the Government. The nationalization of
banks imparted major impetus to branch expansion in un-banked rural and semi-urban
areas, which in turn resulted in huge deposit mobilization, thereby giving boost to the

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 7


overall savings rate of the economy. It also resulted in scaling up of lending to
agriculture and its allied sectors. However, this arrangement also saw some
weaknesses like reduced bank profitability, weak capital bases, and banks getting
burdened with large non-performing assets.

To create a strong and competitive banking system, a number of reform measures were
initiated in early 1990s. The thrust of the reforms was on increasing operational
efficiency, strengthening supervision over banks, creating competitive conditions and
developing technological and institutional infrastructure. These measures led to the
improvement in the financial health, soundness and efficiency of the banking system.

One important feature of the reforms of the 1990s was that the entry of new private
sector banks was permitted. Following this decision, new banks such as ICICI Bank,
HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank and UTI Bank were set up.

Chapter 2
Structure of Indian Banking Industry

INTRODUCTION

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the central banking and monetary authority of
India, and also acts as the regulator and supervisor of commercial banks.Scheduled
banks comprise scheduled commercial banks and scheduled co-operative banks.
Scheduled commercial banks form the bedrock of the Indian financial system,
currently accounting for more than three-fourths of all financial institutions' assets.
SCBs are present throughout India, and their branches, having grown more than four-
fold in the last 40 years now number more than 80,500 across the country (see Table
1.1). Our focus in this module will be only on the scheduled commercial banks. A

The rating model is focused on the above-mentioned areas for assessing the credit risk
rating of a company. The areas are bifurcated into sub-areas and each sub-area is
further split into a number of parameters. The sub-areas as well as parameters used in
the different sections have been explained in detail in the following part of the report.
There are various models adopted for different projects and accounts which are
categorized and briefly explained below:

type of entities based on a certain criteria. These parameters are explained as follows:

Large Corporates: The clients who have net sales of over Rs. 100 crore are
categorized in this class. This class is qualified to avail limits of more than Rs.
15 crore from the bank. This class generally has clients from Manufacturing
and Service sectors.
Mid Corporates: The clients who have net sales between Rs 25 crore and Rs
100 crore are categorized as Mid Corporates. This class is qualified for limits
between Rs 5 crore and Rs 15 crore. This class generally has clients from
Manufacturing, Trading and Service sectors.
Small Loans-I: The firms that have sales upto Rs 25 crore can be classified as
Small Loans-I clients. These can avail limits ranging from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 5

Usage of the credit risk

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 12


The following text describes the basic rating procedure followed when implementing
the rating model for a client.

1. The scores are assigned to each of the parameters in the different sections on a
scale of 0 to 4 up to two decimal points with 0 being very poor and 4 being
excellent. The scoring of some of these parameters is subjective while for
some others it is done on the basis of pre-defined objective criteria.
Wherever a particular parameter is not applicable, no score should be given.
The parameter should be made NA so that the weight assigned to that
parameter gets distributed among the other parameters in that section
automatically.

2. The scores given to the individual parameters multiplied by allocated weights


are aggregated and a composite score for the company is arrived at in
percentage terms. Weights have been assigned to different parameters based
on their importance.
The following table shows the various parameters and the weights assigned to
them:

S No. Factor Weight Assigned


1 Financial 40
2 Business / Industry 20
3 Management 20
4 Conduct of Account 20
Total 100

3. The overall percentage score obtained from step 2 on a scale of 0 to 100 is


then translated into a rating on a scale from AAA to D according to a pre-
defined range as under:

Timeline

In 1900, PNB established its first branch outside Lahore in Rawalpindi. Branches
in Karachi and Peshawar followed.

The next major event occurred in 1940 when PNB absorbed Bhagwan (or Bhugwan)
Dass Bank, which had its head office in Dehra Dun.

At the Partition of India and the commencement of Pakistani independence, PNB lost
its premises in Lahore, but continued to operate in Pakistan. Partition forced PNB to
close 92 offices in West Pakistan, one-third of its total number of branches, and which
held 40% of the total deposits. PNB still maintained a few caretaker branches. On 31
March 1947, even before Partition, PNB had decided to leave Lahore and transfer its
registered office to India; it received permission from the Lahore High Court on 20

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 45


The objective of this project is to study in depth the credit appraisal procedure
followed by PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK, which includes

Understanding the different types of credit facilities and credit delivery


mechanisms provided to industrial customers viz. Overdraft, Cash Credit,
Drawing Rights, Fund Based Credit, Non Fund Based Credit etc.
Understanding the different methods available for risk vetting of lending
proposals, different risk assessment models and the different credit rating
procedures used in Punjab National Bank.
Understanding the appraisal process of Term Loan and working Capital
financing and sanctioning of working capital, issuing term loan, to corporate,
through different case studies, on the job training.
Assessing the qualitative factors which influence the decision making of
lending to a particular client apart from theoretical parameters.

Chapter 5
RISK
The credit risk rating model has been developed with a view to provide a standard
system for assigning a credit risk rating to the borrowers of the bank according to
their risk profile. This model is applicable to all large corporate borrowal accounts
availing total limits (fund based and non-fund based) of more than Rs. 15 crore or
having total sales of more than Rs. 100 crore.
Inputsto the model are the financial data of the borrower, industry information and the
evaluation of the borrower on various objective and subjective parameters.

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 46


The model evaluates the credit risk rating of a borrower on a scale of AAA to D with
AAA indicating minimum risk and D indicating maximum risk. The credit risk-rating
model incorporates and includes possible factors of risk for determining the credit
rating of the borrower. These risks could be internal and specific to the company, the
industry in which the company is operating or the entire economy and can influence
the repayment capacity and / or willingness of the company.

Important factors considered in the rating process of the clients

The rating model contains several qualitative parameters that are to be evaluated
subjectively. It is, therefore, necessary to be adequately familiar with the company
and the industry. Visiting the company and interacting with its management generally
helps the rater in understanding the underlying activity behind the financial data of
the company being analysed; the business prospect of the company and its
management. Information should be collected about the company from all possible
sources to conduct this exercise completely, accurately and in an authenticated
manner.

The data used to rate companies should be annualised & made comparable before it is
used for rating purposes. Similarly the financials of the company should be made
comparable with peers in case of change in accounting policies, merger, demerger,
acquisition, sell-off etc.

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 47


While evaluating a company against the industry the following points should be
kept in mind:

The companys value should be compared only with peers.


Size / capacity / volume are indicative factors in selecting peers.
The sample of companies chosen for the industry comparison should be
identical as far as possible for rating all companies under one particular
industry having similar size / capacity / nature of activity.
The number of companies in sample should be reasonable i.e. neither too low
nor too high.
The sample size should be of at least 5 companies. The sample should
preferably be selected from the activities in which company is operating.

Special considerations in case of unavailability of data for clients

For companies where industry data is not available, data for other comparable
industries can be used. For example, blade-manufacturing companies can be
compared with combined sample of companies manufacturing blade and other
shaving products etc. Similarly Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. may be compared with
other heavy engineering companies, which also uses intensive technologies and have
a similar size, say in terms of sales turnover.
For multi-divisional companies, which are involved in more than one industry,
evaluation should be done separately for each business. Thus the management
evaluation, conduct of account and financial evaluation will be done on a common
basis. For the business section, each business should be evaluated and scored
separately, taking into account the different industries involved. A weighted average
of these business scores should be calculated, where the weights are proportional to

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 48


the contribution of each business to the companys total sales. This weighted average
should then be combined with the scores in the other sections to arrive at the overall
rating for the company.
The credit risk rating exercise should be done immediately after receipt of audited
financial results of the company and should be delinked invariably from the regular
renewal exercise. The updating of the credit ratings should be undertaken normally at
quarterly intervals or at least at half-yearly intervals, operationalising of Preventive
Monitoring System (PMS) will be an aid in this regard.
In case latest data of peers is not available for industry comparison, then last available
data, not more than one year old, may be considered.
For companies, which have not been banking with PNB earlier, the score obtained
excluding conduct of account should be scaled up to 100 and the rating assigned
accordingly, as the PMS score will not be available.
The Credit Policy and Risk Management Department (CPRMD), Head Office will
provide the industry score to be used for all major industries, progressively. Until such
time the industry score may be assigned as 50%.

Parameters considered in the PNBs Credit Risk Model

Parameter 1: Financial Strength Of The Clients


The financials of a company are indicative of the health of the company and potential
risks in lending to the company e.g. if the company already has a large amount of debt
on its balance sheet, compared to its cash flow generation capacity, a loan to this
company would be risky.

Parameter 2: Business Performance Of The Clients


The business performance of a company has a direct relationship with the credit risk
of the company as the business performance determines the generation of cash for
debt repayment. The companys competence in its activities as well as its position
relative to its competitors are key indicators of how a company is expected to perform
and its ability to generate funds to repay its debts.

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 49


Parameter 3: Industry Outlook Of The Clients
The credit rating of a company cannot be assessed without considering the outlook of
the industry in which the company is operating. Industry performance very often has a
direct bearing on the performance of a company. Two companies in different
industries would have different credit worthiness depending on the outlook for their
industries

Parameter 4: Management Evaluation Of The Clients


The quality of management and management structure are very important indicators
of a companys credit risk. The performance of a company driven by a strong
management is likely to be better than that of a company having a poor management
irrespective of the industry to which it belongs.
Evaluation of management is important not only due to its impact on the companys
performance, which determines its capability to repay, but also from the point of view
of its integrity. This is because the intentions of the management determine the
willingness of the company to repay its debts.
The management quality thus influences both aspects of default risk, the ability as
well as the willingness of the borrower to repay its debts. Thus the evaluation of
management quality is an essential input for credit risk assessment.

Parameter 5: Conduct Of Account


The conduct of account refers to as to how the borrowers existing accounts with our
Bank as also with other banks are being conducted and whether any problems are
being faced. The conduct of account provides useful indications about the ability and
willingness of the borrower to meet his obligations. The manner in which a borrower
has been conducting his accounts in the past is a good indicator of how the account is
likely to behave in future as well.

Assessment of the Parameters of the Model

Assessment of financial strength

The financial strength of a company may be assessed by critically analysing the past
financial performance, its trend and expected future performance. This analysis help

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 50


in predicting the potential risk involved. These parameters are taken normally from
the annual financial statements of the company i.e. Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss
Statement and the Cash Flow statement. Past performance is taken as a guide to
realistically assess future performance.
Besides, it is essential to determine the quality of these financial statements as to what
extent these can be accepted at face value. Further, the trends in financial
performance over the past few years also indicate how the companys performance
has been changing over the past few years.
The financials are evaluated under four broad areas as under:

1. Past financial performance


While credit risk rating is done to evaluate the ability of a company to repay its debts
in future, evaluation of past financials is very important as it reflects the present
financial health of a company, which is a good indicator of how a company is
expected to perform in future.
The past performance is evaluated on the basis of figures given in the financial
statements of the company as well as industry data. Some of the parameters are
evaluated against absolute benchmarks while some are judged in comparison to peers.
In respect of certain parameters percentage growth of the company over the past few
years are compared while in respect of certain parameters, the ratios derived from the
previous years financial reports are compared. The evaluation of each of the
individual parameters is explained in detail in the following pages.
2. Future risk expectations
The expectation of future financial risk is an important input to the credit rating
process. This is used to evaluate the cash flows of a company as well as any major
risks, which the company might be facing in future that may adversely impact its
financial performance.
The evaluation of future risk expectations is a subjective matter based on the
assessment of the companys future performance. These expectations are based on the
performance of the company in the past as well as its plans for the future. The
contingent liabilities of the company, the Foreign Transaction Risk and the cash flow
adequacy etc. are considered in this section.

3. Subjective assessment of quality of financial figures

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 51


The assessment of the financial figures of a company is very essential to determine
the extent of reliability of the figures given in the financial statements of a company.
Companies often resort to tactics meant to distort the figures in the financial
statements such as adjustments in depreciation method, income recognition,
capitalisation of interest/expenses, pricing of inventory etc. Hence there is a need to
assess the extent to which the figures given in the balance sheet are reliable and how
transparent the accounts of the company are.
Further, the actual realisable value for these assets may also be different from that
given in the balance sheet. These aspects are to be taken into consideration while
evaluating the financials of a company.

4. Trends in financial performance over the past few years


The assessment of past financials relies on figures for the previous year. The pattern
of change over the previous years is an important indicator of the companys future
performance. The evaluation of trends in respect of certain identified parameters is
done using the figures given in the financial statements of the company. The
evaluation of these parameters takes into account the direction & magnitude of
changes over the past years.
Within these areas, parameters are defined to determine the companys position on
each of these areas. Scores are assigned to the parameters within these areas and they
are combined to arrive at a score for each of the above areas. The scores for these
areas are then combined according to the weights assigned to different areas to arrive
at the cumulative financial score.
The subjective assessment of financials as well as trends in financial performance is
used to adjust the score obtained under past financials.
Past financial performance
The assessment of past financial performance is done on the following parameters and
each of them is assigned a different weightage in order to arrive at a cumulative rating
for the past performance.
Gross Sales Growth Rate Debt-Equity ratio
OPBDIT Total Net Worth
Short Term Borrowings Current Ratio
Operating Cash flow Interest Coverage Ratio
Net Cash Flow DSCR

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 52


Assessment of business performance

The performance of a company is influenced both by its own set up as well as its
competitive position within the industry. Thus the two broad sub-areas used to assess
the business performance of a company are:
1. Operating Efficiency
2. Market Position
Within these areas parameters are defined separately for manufacturing and service
sectors. The parameters defined for Service Sector and detailed guidance for
evaluating these parameters are given under Section 4.5. Scores are assigned to the
parameters within these areas and they are combined to arrive at a score for each of
the above areas. The scores for these areas are then aggregated according to the
weights assigned to different areas to arrive at the cumulative score for the company
on business performance.

1. Operating Efficiency of the Client


This covers the operations of a company and how efficient it is at performing its core
activities and takes care of aspects like the asset utilisation of the company, its
working capital management, cost effectiveness of operations etc. These factors play
an important role in determining the business performance of a company and thus are
evaluated for determining the business performance.
The evaluation of the parameters under this area is done on an objective basis using
the figures in the financial statements of the company. Within these, some parameters
might require a subjective assessment and have to interpret from the financial
statements. This would be applicable specifically to parameters like Credit Period
Availed and Credit Period Allowed. e.g. if credit period availed is very high as
obtained from the financial statements, then it could be due to a very good reputation
of company in the market, or because the company is not paying its suppliers in time.
Thus an interpretation of these figures will have to be made to decide what score is to
be assigned.
There are various parameters on which the evaluation is done but the most important
parameters out of these will be selected and scores assigned to them. The selection of

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 53


these parameters may be made on the basis of its relevance in a particular industry &
these will be decided by the Credit Systems and Tools Team and updated from time to
time as needed.
2. Market Position of the Client
The business performance of a company is not governed simply by its own operations
but also by the competition in the industry as well as the companys position vis--vis
its competitors. This also covers risks related to buyers, suppliers and technology used
by the company. An evaluation of the parameters helps in determining how well the
company is placed to compete in the market and how efficient its operations are. It
also reflects how fluctuations in the market and developments in the industry would
influence the operations of the company.
The parameters that would be used for evaluating the market position of a company
would vary from industry to industry. Also, within these parameters, assignment of
scores would require a large number of sub-parameters to be considered. The Credit
Systems & Tools Team in association with the industry specialist teams would decide
these parameters and sub-parameters for different industries.
The rater assigns scores to the individual sub-parameters, which would then lead to a
final score for the parameters, after combination of weightage assigned to the
individual sub-parameter. Assignment of scores to the parameters/sub-parameters will
be subjective.

Assessment of Industry Outlook of the Client


The industry rating is used to adjust the score obtained by a company on business
performance. The rationale for this is that a company belonging to an industry that
score highly on industry rating would be in a better position to strengthen its business
position. Conversely a company belonging to an industry with a poor industry
outlook would have adverse impact on its business position.
Good performers are given greater benefit and penalised less for the industry outlook
because they would be in a better position to exploit the opportunities in the industry
as well as protect against the uncertainties in the industry.
The Credit Policy and Risk Management Department (CPRMD) provide the industry
score to be used for all major industries, progressively. Until such time the industry
score may be assigned as 50%.

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 54


Assessment of Management Quality of the Client
Evaluation of management is done to determine both their competence as well as their
integrity.
The two sub-areas considered for this purpose are:
Achievement of past targets by the company
Subjective assessment of management quality
Within these two sub-areas, parameters are defined which enable us to determine the
companys position on each of these sub-areas. Scores are assigned to the parameters
within these areas and they are combined to arrive at a score for each of the above
areas. The scores for these areas are then aggregated in accordance with the weights
assigned to different areas to arrive at the cumulative score for the company on
management quality.

1. Achievement of targets by the Client


The targets quoted by the company at the beginning of the year are used as the
benchmark with which the actual performance is compared. This gives an indication
of the managements ability to drive the company by properly gearing it to the
performance target set by them.
The actual results of the company are compared to the targets that had been set by the
company at the beginning of the year and the extent to which the targets have been
achieved is used to assign scores to the parameters.
Achievement of actual sales against estimated/projected sales Score

< 75% 0

75% to 79% 1

80% to 89% 2

90% to 95% 3

> 95% 4

Table 2: Achievement of Sales Targets by the Management

2. Subjective assessment of the management of the client


The assessment of management on criteria like integrity, honesty, and track record is
assessed in this section. This area is important as this indicates both the quality as well
as integrity of management. Hence it is essential to be completely familiar with the
management of the company and its track record, organisation structure and reporting
relationships within the organisation as well as the qualifications of the top
management personnel.

Assement of Conduct of Account of the Client

The evaluation of the conduct of an account is done on the basis of its PMS Rank or
PMS Index Score (Maximum). The outlook and performance of an industry depend
on a number of parameters that include the structure of the industry as well as its
financials. Some of the broad parameters that are used for evaluating an industry are:
1 Expected industry growth rate
2 Capital market perception: The industry P/E ratio is a useful indicator
in this regard
3 Regulatory framework
Tax Concessions
Tariff Protection
4 Demand-supply mismatch
5 Financial performance of industry
Return on capital employed

Comparison Of The Model With The Industry Standard

The current Credit Risk Model of PNB can be compared to the Industry standard that
has been arrived at by the secondary research done through research papers. The
model used by PNB is evaluated on the basis of each of those parameters that are
considered important for a banks credit rating system as follows:

Disciplined way of looking at Credit Risk and estimation of the overall


health status of an account: The model has predefined sub parameters in
different sub areas that help the bank to evaluate a project on various different
areas that can affect the Credit Risk to the bank. The financial, management,
operation, industrial and historical data is all taken into consideration while
evaluating an account.
Assessment of impact of a new loan asset on the portfolio: The bank
follows strict guidelines that limit the funding of the projects. These limits are
prescribed as a percentage of the total funding available to the bank. This

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 57


helps the bank to limit the risk involved in its operations. This characteristic of
the model helps the bank to cover for the losses in case of defaults.
Sector wise Risk monitoring: The bank has operational poilicies in the credit
risk model that helps the bank to monitor its activites in a particular sector.
This helps the bank to limit the risk involved in case of changing traditions
and policies of the entire industry that might have an adverse effect.
Relationship managers for high value accounts: Bank does not have a
policy of appointing relationship managers for high value account. However,
bank has included a structure of approval of the projects such that the projects
are looked into by the different offices in terms of power and hierarchy. High
Value projects are generally handled by Regional or Zonal Offices while
smaller projects can be handled at the District Headquarter level or Branch
Office level.
Rating procedures should be implemented:PNB has a rating system of the
clients set up in place that considers a number of parameters and sub-
parameters to calculate the worthiness and risk quotient of the client. These
parameters are based on financial, environmental, internal, operational and
historical performance of the firms.

HDFC Bank has been expanding its branches aggressively in metros


smaller cities and remote areas the bank was facing challenges in
terms of connectivity in many of these remote areas. Since they had
to ramp up their branches in a short time the development has to

be rapid as well.therefore the bank has been looking for the service
provider who could help them connect 500 of their branches spread
across the country

In several locations, tulip telecom had the edge over other in terms
of feasibility and delivery, says ajit tiwari ,deputy vice president,

Tulip has always maintained good a turnaround time in
term of circuit delivery, says tiwari HDFC bank also signed
an SLA with tulip for the maintenance of the circuit

Conclusion

The financial status of the clients is a very important factor in determining the
funding limits and loans to the firms.
For new projects, viability of the projects is an essential factor in determining
whether the project should be funded or not.
For large corporate accounts, PMS rating and account history is the most
crucial factors along with the project viability.
The subjectivity in evalutating the parameters for a project provide the bank
with a provision to incorporate the reports made by Lending Engineers for the
projects.

The model also has a provision for including the reviews of external rating
agencies (CRISIL, ICRA etc.) in case of need of external verificaton.

PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK [Type text] 60


Recommendations

Based on the analysis and the results arrived from the research, various
recommendation that can be made to enhance the existing model for PNB are:

Financial and operational performance of the company applying for loan


should be compared with its industry peers. Relative performance comparisons
will not only highlight the management capability but also help in identifying
any abnormalities in the information submitted by the company.
Compliance with Basel-III norms has to be met by 2018, as prescribed by the
RBI. The bank must be pro-active in developing and designing the policies to
meet the requirements and stabilize the Tier-I and Tier-II capital ratios.
Forward looking statements with respect to sales, profitability etc. provided in
the DPR and other reports submitted by the company should be treated with
caution. Market analysis, demand analysis, sales projections etc. should be
evaluated on with prevailing norms of the RBI.
If any of the critical ratios is marginally unfavorable, then additional collaterals
could be charged or pricing of the loan could be revised upward to compensate
for the additional risk
Due to increased activism and regulatory crisis like that with spectrum allocation,
mining leases, land acquisitions issues, environmental considerations etc. viability of
otherwise sound projects is threatened. Social, political and economical risks should
also be taken into consideration while deciding project viability.
