Pg. 2 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System
Preface
Banking system acts as a catalyst in economic growth of a
country. For a country like India, which aspires to become a
growth engine of the world, need of developed and well managed
banking system is inevitable. Banking system accelerates capital
formation, mobilizes saving, finances commercial activities and
also helps country to implement monetary policy. Indian
government is extensively looking at financial inclusion as an
effective tool in bringing millions of its citizen out of poverty.
Today, India is at a sweet spot and this does not come so often.
We are probably at a stage where USA was in early forties (period
of baby boomers) and China was in late seventies (period of
economic liberation). Indian Economy has all the ingredients like
favorable commodity prices, lowering inflation, growth oriented
monetary policies and better fiscal discipline to become a
formidable force in global economy.
But there is a dent in this shining Indian growth story in the form
of mounting stressed loans in the banking system. We have seen
the failure of financial system in 2008 and its massive impact on
global economy. India at this juncture cannot afford an ailing
banking system. Through this report we have estimated how deep
this dent is.

Declining Performance
FY16Q3 financial numbers reported by Indian banks are one of the worst in the last few years. Performance of Indian public sector
banks deteriorated significantly as all listed public sector banks cumulatively reported PAT level loss of INR 10,653 Cr during FY16Q3.
Public sector banks reported muted revenue growth of 1%, while their operating profits dipped by 6% on YoY basis.
Private sector banks performed better compared to public sector banks though performance was muted when compared to their
historical performance.

As per the financial stability report of RBI dated
December 2015, proportion of weak companies
(Non Government Non Financial Companies with
negative net worth and DE>=2) has increased from
13.6% as of Sep 2014 to 15.3% as of Sep 2015.
During the same period, share of weak companies

Deteriorating Profitability
Profitability as measured by return on equity has
decreased from FY12 to FY14 across all types of the
companies. Profitability of small and medium
enterprises eroded more than large corporations.
Weak debt servicing capability
During the same period, debt servicing capacity as
measured by interest coverage ratio has also
decreased significantly.

How Banks Mask Bad Debts?
Banks are provided with various tools by RBI to restructure assets so that they can manage their loan portfolio efficiently, but these
very tools are being misused by banks to mask their bad assets.
Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR)
Corporate debt restructuring was designed to revive the stressed corporates and to ensure the recovery of the debt issued to these
corporates. CDR scheme had a very rough time so far. As of 31st December 2015, only 16% of the CDR cases were successful.
Failure of CDR mechanism indicates banks’ inability to assess borrowers ability and willingness to meet their restructuring
commitment. CDR schemes may have been used by banks to delay the recognition of bad debts rather than solving the underlying
problem.

As on Dec 2015, 38% of the CDR cases (worth INR 83,552

Number of failed CDR cases shot up from 22% as on Dec
2013 to 29% as on Dec 14 and eventually to 38% as on
Dec 2015 which indicates systematic failure of CDR
scheme.
Also, as on Dec 2015, 16% of the CDR cases were
successful where as 46% were still under CDR mechanism
(“live CDR cases”).
Most of the live CDR cases are in stressed sectors such as
Iron & Steel (21% cases), Infrastructure (17% cases) and
Engineering (10%). Stressed sectors may take few more
years for complete revival and some portion from the live
cases may fail. This could result into failed cases going
beyond 38% in future.
RBI has recently introduced other restructuring
mechanisms such as SDR and 5:25 to overcome the
limited success it had with traditional CDR schemes.

How Banks Mask Bad Debts?
Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR)
SDR scheme allows banks to convert the outstanding loan into equity and eventually acquire majority control of the entity.
Ultimate objective is to improve the financial performance of ailing company and eventually recover the dues. Banks across public
and private sectors have invoked SDR as it allows stressed debt to be classified as “Standard” for eighteen months.
Equity shares of the companies which are under SDR scheme are trading at extremely low prices. Conversion of debt into equity in
these companies will barely yield anything to the banks as most have Outstanding Debt Obligations to the tune of 17 to 57 times of
their respective Market Capitalization.

SDR may result in deferring of NPA recognition of : INR 1.5
Lac Cr/ USD 23 bn representing 2.2% of total advances of
Indian banking system
As per ‘’SDR: A band-aid for a bullet wound’’ by Religare Institutional Research
SDR scheme requires the change in management so that stressed
companies can be managed better but SDR may be used by existing
errant promoters to buy back the assets of their own companies at
much cheaper price by floating shell companies. RBI has recently sent
a note to banks where it has asked banks to establish that there is no
connection between new buyer and current promoter of the company.
Restructuring loans under SDR may require banks to put additional
funds into the company to make it operationally viable. Most of the
restructuring schemes have moratorium period where interest
payment is funded by additional debt which results in increased
banking exposure to stressed companies.
SDR companies are operating in the stressed sectors like
infrastructure, power, metals and mines and may take few years for
revival. As most of the SDR cases are from failed CDR cases,
restructuring these loans through SDR would result in simply delaying
the recognition of bad assets.
Pg. 12 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System
5:25 Scheme
The 5:25 flexible structuring scheme allows bankers to fix longer amortization period for loans to projects in the infrastructure and core
industries sector, for 25 years, based on the economic life of the project, with periodic refinancing/restructuring every 5 years.
Refinancing essentially means giving new loan so that the older loan can be repaid and new loan can be started on better terms for the
borrower.
As with other debt restructuring mechanisms, 5:25 schemes may require banks to infuse additional debt into stressed companies
which would further increase the banking sector’s exposure to stress companies. Most of the stress companies would require the
additional debt funding even to pay the interest on the old loans.
Banks can misuse 5:25 scheme as loan restructured under this scheme is not treated as bad loan in their books. This will result in lower
provision and artificially showing healthy picture of assets. It will ultimately delay recognition of non performing assets and it may also
result in higher losses in future due to additional funding that would require in 5:25 scheme.

Unmasking the Stressed Advances
In our opinion, disclosed stressed advances as on June, 2015 from the industry and services sector are not indicative of the real chunk
of stressed loans lying as assets in balance sheets of the Indian Banking Sector.
To support our hypothesis, we have subjected companies from the above sectors in our sample to Altman’s Z Score Model for
Emerging Markets. Our sample covers 1,609 companies with total outstanding debt of INR 17,869 Billion.
Altman’s Z Score for Emerging Markets:
Altman’s Z Score Model is a linear combination of four ratios weighted by coefficients. The
model is formulated as follows:
Z Score = 6.56 X1 + 3.26 X2 + 6.72 X3 + 1.05 X4,
Wherein –
1) X1 = Net Working Capital / Total Assets which is a measure of company’s liquidity,
2) X2 = Retained Earnings / Total Assets which measures profitability reflecting company’s
earning power,
3) X3 = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes / Total Assets which is a measure of company’s
operating efficiency apart from tax and leveraging factors and stresses importance to
company’s long term stability,
4) X4 = Book Value of Equity / Total Assets which factors in the fluctuation in value of equity
as a possible red flag.
The Interpretation of Altman’s Model is as
follows –
Z < 1.1 means STRESS zone,
1.1 < Z< 2.6 indicates GRAY zone,
Z > 2.6 reflects SAFE zone.
Empirical studies suggest that there is 70% probability,
that a company categorized in Stress Zone will default in
repayment of its outstanding debt obligation.
Altman’s Z Score is used to predict the probability that a firm will go into bankruptcy. They are primarily used predict corporate defaults and act
as a control measure for the financial distress status of companies. The Z-score uses multiple corporate income and balance sheet values to
measure the financial health of a company.

As per Altman's Z Score
~2/3rd of the potentially additional stressed
assets in industry are from Key Stressed
Industries (KSI - Iron & Steel, Power,
Telecom and Aviation). Thus, KSI’s share of
stressed asset in industry is expected to rise
from 48.4% to 53.5%.
Of the widely disintegrated services sector,
Hotels & Restaurants, unlisted IT –
Software and TV Broadcasting sectors are
estimated to contribute to ~18%, ~16% and

Unmasking the Stressed Advances
Empirical studies suggest that ~70% of the companies in the Stress Zone are expected to default on the outstanding debt obligations.
Inculcating the same conclusion in our studies on the 70% companies with poorest Z Scores, we have estimated that the total amount
of default on loan obligation can potentially extend to INR 7,918.2 Bn or to ~19.5% of overall exposure to Industry and Services.

Stressed Advances As per Z Score (INR Bn)
Default from Stressed Advances Expected In Debt by 70% Companies (%)
Pg. 18 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System
With a potential of default lurking at a staggering 19.5% (amounting to INR 7,918.2 Bn) from advances relating to Industry and
Services Sectors (which account for ~61.5% of the overall banking sector exposure), a clean up in the Indian Banking System is the
need of the hour. A clean and transparent banking system would indeed spur growth, build in accountability and help create a stable
economy in the long term.
The failure of the CDR system and the challenges related to the SDR and 5:25 debt restructuring scheme have made it difficult to
estimate a fair picture of stressed loans in the Indian Banking System. To build in accountability and to overcome these challenges,
RBI had recently conducted an Asset Quality Review of banks and had identified specific accounts which the banks had to classify as
Non Performing Assets by March 2016. These specified accounts would be classified as NPAs regardless of their repayment structure
or restructuring scheme.
The said exercise has resulted in an increase in the amount of overall gross NPAs of the listed banks (which cater to ~ 89% of total
exposure of the Indian Banking System) to the tune of 46% to INR 4,217.4 Bn in December 2015 from March 2015. Consequently,
the share of overall Gross NPAs to overall exposure has increased from 4.4% in March 2015 to 6.0% in December, 2015.
Though we appreciate RBI’s initiative which aims to clean the entire banking space by March 2017, we believe that the amount of
standard advances awaiting to get classified as NPAs is much higher than what has been disclosed by banks.
Conclusion
“If you owe your bank a hundred pounds, you have a problem. But if you owe a million, it has.”
― John Maynard Keynes

We have analysed the sample of 1,609 companies to opine on the industrial and service sectors of the Indian economy. Our analysis assumes that the conclusions
and inferences derived on sample can be extended to a population. Our analysis is subjected to the limitations which are inherent to the method of sampling.
Limitations of sampling include inadequacy of the samples, chances of bias, problem of accuracy and non-representative sample among others. Also, our analysis
widely depends on Z Score Model. However, the model has its own limitations in the form of past financial results not being indicative of the future. Also, the Z
score is applicable to all emerging nations, however a slight change in the coefficients of its measures suiting the macroeconomic factors specific to India may yield
a slightly differentiated inference.

  • 2. Pg. 2 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System Preface Banking system acts as a catalyst in economic growth of a country. For a country like India, which aspires to become a growth engine of the world, need of developed and well managed banking system is inevitable. Banking system accelerates capital formation, mobilizes saving, finances commercial activities and also helps country to implement monetary policy. Indian government is extensively looking at financial inclusion as an effective tool in bringing millions of its citizen out of poverty. Today, India is at a sweet spot and this does not come so often. We are probably at a stage where USA was in early forties (period of baby boomers) and China was in late seventies (period of economic liberation). Indian Economy has all the ingredients like favorable commodity prices, lowering inflation, growth oriented monetary policies and better fiscal discipline to become a formidable force in global economy. But there is a dent in this shining Indian growth story in the form of mounting stressed loans in the banking system. We have seen the failure of financial system in 2008 and its massive impact on global economy. India at this juncture cannot afford an ailing banking system. Through this report we have estimated how deep this dent is.

  • 8. Pg. 8 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System How Banks Mask Bad Debts? Banks are provided with various tools by RBI to restructure assets so that they can manage their loan portfolio efficiently, but these very tools are being misused by banks to mask their bad assets. Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Corporate debt restructuring was designed to revive the stressed corporates and to ensure the recovery of the debt issued to these corporates. CDR scheme had a very rough time so far. As of 31st December 2015, only 16% of the CDR cases were successful. Failure of CDR mechanism indicates banks’ inability to assess borrowers ability and willingness to meet their restructuring commitment. CDR schemes may have been used by banks to delay the recognition of bad debts rather than solving the underlying problem.

Number of failed CDR cases shot up from 22% as on Dec 2013 to 29% as on Dec 14 and eventually to 38% as on Dec 2015 which indicates systematic failure of CDR scheme. Also, as on Dec 2015, 16% of the CDR cases were successful where as 46% were still under CDR mechanism (“live CDR cases”). Most of the live CDR cases are in stressed sectors such as Iron & Steel (21% cases), Infrastructure (17% cases) and Engineering (10%). Stressed sectors may take few more years for complete revival and some portion from the live cases may fail. This could result into failed cases going beyond 38% in future. RBI has recently introduced other restructuring mechanisms such as SDR and 5:25 to overcome the limited success it had with traditional CDR schemes.

  • 10. Pg. 10 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System How Banks Mask Bad Debts? Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) SDR scheme allows banks to convert the outstanding loan into equity and eventually acquire majority control of the entity. Ultimate objective is to improve the financial performance of ailing company and eventually recover the dues. Banks across public and private sectors have invoked SDR as it allows stressed debt to be classified as “Standard” for eighteen months. Equity shares of the companies which are under SDR scheme are trading at extremely low prices. Conversion of debt into equity in these companies will barely yield anything to the banks as most have Outstanding Debt Obligations to the tune of 17 to 57 times of their respective Market Capitalization. 520 206 718 378 182 140 59 187 28 15000 11705 10235 7500 3094 2356 2280 2000 1208 29 57 14 20 17 17 39 11 43 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000 14000 16000 GammonIndia MonnetIspat ElectrosteelCastings IVRCL VisaSteel JyotiStructures RohitFerro-Tech GOLoffshoreLtd AnkitMetal&Power Market Capitalisation (INR Cr) Debt Amount (INR Cr) Debt / M.Cap (RHS) Source: News article, RBSA Research

RBI has recently sent a note to banks where it has asked banks to establish that there is no connection between new buyer and current promoter of the company. Restructuring loans under SDR may require banks to put additional funds into the company to make it operationally viable. Most of the restructuring schemes have moratorium period where interest payment is funded by additional debt which results in increased banking exposure to stressed companies. SDR companies are operating in the stressed sectors like infrastructure, power, metals and mines and may take few years for revival. As most of the SDR cases are from failed CDR cases, restructuring these loans through SDR would result in simply delaying the recognition of bad assets.
  • 12. Pg. 12 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System 5:25 Scheme The 5:25 flexible structuring scheme allows bankers to fix longer amortization period for loans to projects in the infrastructure and core industries sector, for 25 years, based on the economic life of the project, with periodic refinancing/restructuring every 5 years. Refinancing essentially means giving new loan so that the older loan can be repaid and new loan can be started on better terms for the borrower. As with other debt restructuring mechanisms, 5:25 schemes may require banks to infuse additional debt into stressed companies which would further increase the banking sector’s exposure to stress companies. Most of the stress companies would require the additional debt funding even to pay the interest on the old loans. Banks can misuse 5:25 scheme as loan restructured under this scheme is not treated as bad loan in their books. This will result in lower provision and artificially showing healthy picture of assets. It will ultimately delay recognition of non performing assets and it may also result in higher losses in future due to additional funding that would require in 5:25 scheme.

  • 14. Pg. 14 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System Unmasking the Stressed Advances In our opinion, disclosed stressed advances as on June, 2015 from the industry and services sector are not indicative of the real chunk of stressed loans lying as assets in balance sheets of the Indian Banking Sector. To support our hypothesis, we have subjected companies from the above sectors in our sample to Altman’s Z Score Model for Emerging Markets. Our sample covers 1,609 companies with total outstanding debt of INR 17,869 Billion. Altman’s Z Score for Emerging Markets: Altman’s Z Score Model is a linear combination of four ratios weighted by coefficients. The model is formulated as follows: Z Score = 6.56 X1 + 3.26 X2 + 6.72 X3 + 1.05 X4, Wherein – 1) X1 = Net Working Capital / Total Assets which is a measure of company’s liquidity, 2) X2 = Retained Earnings / Total Assets which measures profitability reflecting company’s earning power, 3) X3 = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes / Total Assets which is a measure of company’s operating efficiency apart from tax and leveraging factors and stresses importance to company’s long term stability, 4) X4 = Book Value of Equity / Total Assets which factors in the fluctuation in value of equity as a possible red flag. The Interpretation of Altman’s Model is as follows – Z < 1.1 means STRESS zone, 1.1 < Z< 2.6 indicates GRAY zone, Z > 2.6 reflects SAFE zone. Empirical studies suggest that there is 70% probability, that a company categorized in Stress Zone will default in repayment of its outstanding debt obligation. Altman’s Z Score is used to predict the probability that a firm will go into bankruptcy. They are primarily used predict corporate defaults and act as a control measure for the financial distress status of companies. The Z-score uses multiple corporate income and balance sheet values to measure the financial health of a company. Source : RBI’s Financial Stability Report, Dec 2015, RBSA Research

This translates to potential addition of ~INR 3586 Bn in stressed assets from Industry and ~INR 3076 Bn in stressed assets from Services sector. 67.5% 32.5% Key Stressed Industries Other Industries As per Altman's Z Score ~2/3rd of the potentially additional stressed assets in industry are from Key Stressed Industries (KSI - Iron & Steel, Power, Telecom and Aviation). Thus, KSI’s share of stressed asset in industry is expected to rise from 48.4% to 53.5%. Of the widely disintegrated services sector, Hotels & Restaurants, unlisted IT – Software and TV Broadcasting sectors are estimated to contribute to ~18%, ~16% and ~12% of the stressed advances from services sector respectively.

  • 18. Pg. 18 of 20Debt Crisis Decoded: Unmasking the Mystery of Stressed Assets in Indian Banking System With a potential of default lurking at a staggering 19.5% (amounting to INR 7,918.2 Bn) from advances relating to Industry and Services Sectors (which account for ~61.5% of the overall banking sector exposure), a clean up in the Indian Banking System is the need of the hour. A clean and transparent banking system would indeed spur growth, build in accountability and help create a stable economy in the long term. The failure of the CDR system and the challenges related to the SDR and 5:25 debt restructuring scheme have made it difficult to estimate a fair picture of stressed loans in the Indian Banking System. To build in accountability and to overcome these challenges, RBI had recently conducted an Asset Quality Review of banks and had identified specific accounts which the banks had to classify as Non Performing Assets by March 2016. These specified accounts would be classified as NPAs regardless of their repayment structure or restructuring scheme. The said exercise has resulted in an increase in the amount of overall gross NPAs of the listed banks (which cater to ~ 89% of total exposure of the Indian Banking System) to the tune of 46% to INR 4,217.4 Bn in December 2015 from March 2015. Consequently, the share of overall Gross NPAs to overall exposure has increased from 4.4% in March 2015 to 6.0% in December, 2015. Though we appreciate RBI’s initiative which aims to clean the entire banking space by March 2017, we believe that the amount of standard advances awaiting to get classified as NPAs is much higher than what has been disclosed by banks. Conclusion “If you owe your bank a hundred pounds, you have a problem. But if you owe a million, it has.” ― John Maynard Keynes
