A Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 or 1956 carrying on the business listed under Section 45 I (c ) of the RBI Act, 1934, i.e.
The obligation of a banker to honour his customer’s cheque is extinguished (not accepted or clear) on receipt of an order of the Court, known as the Garnishee order, issued under Order 21, Rule 46 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
A court order instructing a garnishee (a bank) that funds held on behalf of a debtor (the judgement debtor) should not be released until directed by the court. The order may also instruct the bank to pay a given sum to the judgement creditor (the person to whom a debt is owed by the judgement debtor) from these funds.
If the debtor fails to pay the debt owned by him to his creditor, the latter may apply to the court for the issue of a garnshee order on the banker of his debtor.
The account of the customer with the banker, thus, becomes suspended and the banker is under an obligation not to make any payment thereof.
The creditor at whose request the order is issued is called the judgment creditor; the debtor whose money is frozen is called judgment debtor and the banker who is the debtor of the judgment debtor is called the Garnishee.
The Garnishee order is issued in two parts
The court directs the banker to stop payment out of the account of the judgement-debtor
ORDER NISHI
After the bank file his explanation, if any, the court may issue the final order, called ORDER ABSOLUTE
CDR was instituted by Reserve Bank of India (RBI), National Central bank of India in August 2001 as a voluntary mechanism to reorganize outstanding debt obligations.
The reorganization of the debt can be made by the following ways:
Increasing the tenure of the loan
Reducing the rate of interest
One time settlement
Conversion of debt into equity
Converting un-serviced portion of interest into term loan
It has been a successful instrument allowing corporates to return to profitability for benefit of all stakeholders involved.

We initiate coverage on Wockhardt Limited (Wockhardt) as a BUY with a
Price Objective of ` 978 (target 10.0x FY14 P/E). At CMP of ` 565 the stock
is trading at 3.4x and 5.8x its estimated earnings for FY2013E & FY2014E
representing a potential upside of ~73% over a period of 18 months. With
the contingent liability concerns addressed and bulk of FCCBs already
repaid, the sale of nutrition business will lead to a substantial increase in
cash which could be used to draw down debt or pursue organic / inorganic
grow opportunities. Further its portfolio of high margin niche products and
impressive FTF launches should provide for strong growth in revenues
(12.3% FY11-14 CAGR) to ` 5311.2 crore and earnings (123.6% FY11-14
CAGR) of ` 97.8 /share by FY14.
During the period 2003 through 2008, Wockhardt has traded mostly in line
with the 1 Year forward PE multiple of its peers viz: Sun Pharma, Cipla,
Lupin and Glenmark. However, post its derivative losses, Wockhardt’s EPS
turned negative. Now that the balance sheet is all cleaned up and all
contingent liabilities addressed, we expect that going forward, Wockhardt
will catch up with its peers leading to a substantial re-rating of the stock.

RBI has progressively made it easier for banks to recognize and deal with loans extended to distressed projects. RBI offers a lot of flexibility to banks in dealing with the stressed asset problem.
By Mukund P Unny
The practice of lending and borrowing is millenniums old. The concept of banking was incepted ever since humans started engaging in economic transactions of any kind. The banking system has evolved since then. We have well-established banks now in the 21st century-huge ones having more than $1 trillion in assets. The banking (or credit) sector is one that hold the reins of the world economy. Without the presence of a well-established credit-system, we cannot expect the economy to roll on. A dynamic banking system is essential for a thriving economy.
NPA’s have reached over 10 lakh crore.
Credit off-take is in single digits.

The goal of the demonetization move in India is to make the economy stronger and eliminate the parallel cash economy which is unaccounted and untaxed. While this can impact the GDP negatively in the short term, it should have positive long term consequences. For e-commerce companies, which already have a digital payments system in place, it should lead to higher online payment and eventually eliminate the painful cash on delivery option. However, in the short term, witness a decline in GMV from India as the economy adjusts to the “new normal”.
Msme funding – Opportunities & Challenges (Part 5)Resurgent India
In India, the preferred mode of finance is either self or other sources. This further complicates the situation, as with these sources an enterprise cannot challenge the increasing competition
Funding Sme – MSME FINANCE – DEMAND & SUPPLY - Part - 9Resurgent India
The present domestic market conditions do not provide enough opportunities for the MSME sector for raising low cost funds. To improve the flow of credit there is a need to provide low cost finance to the MSME sector, which has limited working capital and is dependent exclusively on finance from public sector banks. The cost of credit in the Indian MSME sector is higher than its international peers. A transparent credit rating system, simplification/reduction in documentation for accessing finance, providing interest rate subvention to the MSME sector must be taken into consideration in order to maintain the growth of the MSME sector.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Mezzanine Financing - Part - 8Resurgent India
Business owners need finance in order to invest but they want to retain control of their business and not give up valuable equity. For MSMEs the financing options are limited and private equity investors are usually interested in larger companies, while business angel investors are more active in start-ups. Furthermore, conventional bank lending is often not available for projects that could be classified as speculative. That’s where mezzanine finance comes in. Mezzanine finance is a fairly well-known type of funding, which sits between traditional bank debt and equity and it is exactly what many MSMEs need.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Alternative financing sources ...Resurgent India
Securitization of Trade Credit: Trade credit is an important source of financing for MSMEs, as they sell on credit to their large customers and then wait for long periods for payment. If these receivables (trade credit) could be packaged as a securitized asset, which would essentially be a commercial paper with the credit rating of the large firm, it could help MSMEs reduce their investment in working capital and their need for finance significantly. The credit worthiness of a typical MSME would also improve, qualifying it for greater bank funding. Though the securitization process which is similar to factoring, could be more cost-effective than bank funding, factoring, and letters of credit.

Finance is the lifeline of any enterprise. India has one of most extensive banking networks in the world. Despite, a considerable expansion of the banking infrastructure during the recent years, the provision of finance to grassroot level businesses, scattered across the nation, still remains an enormous challenge. Going ahead, it is also observed that Indian MSMEs have limited access to finance. Majority of the MSMEs operates on the funds of its promoters, thus limiting its growth. The limited or nonavailability of institutional finance at affordable terms is also hindering innovation in the Indian MSMEs.

Economy, with more than 31 million units employing more than 80 million persons. Further, productivity of the MSME sector has been improving significantly with fixed investments and employment growing consistently over the past few years. This is a direct indication of the efforts focused on this sector to integrate the workforce with technological enhancements to increase production. Fixed investments in the MSME sector between FY07 and FY12 has grown at a CAGR of 6.5 per cent and employment has grown by more than 6 per cent (y-o-y). Further, between FY07 and FY12, the sector’s total gross output grew at a CAGR of 6.3 per cent - reiterating the substantial contribution of the MSMEs to the Indian economy.
MSME Financing - Alternative Financing Instruments - Part - 14Resurgent India
Asset-based finance, which includes asset-based lending, factoring, purchase-order finance, warehouse receipts and leasing, differs from traditional debt finance, as a firm obtains funding based on the value of specific assets, rather than on its own credit standing. Working capital and term loans are thus secured by assets such as trade accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment and real estate.

Preface
The world is a global village. This saying was
propagated a few years ago. The truth of this saying is
starkly evident today when we look at the global
economy and its ripple effect on our economy. The
world is in such a situation that we cannot wish away
the economic woes being faced by other countries
across the globe. Whatever economic problems are
evident in other countries are bound to have an effect
on other countries as well – only the severity of the
effect may vary from country to country.
Having said that it is evident that our economy is also
feeling the effects of the global economic woes. The
last time around because of the strong and timely
steps taken by the Reserve Bank of India as well as the
Government of India the effect of the economic
travails were reduced to a large extent – both for the
economy as also for industry at large. This time around
also proactive steps are being taken by all concerned.
However the fallout is inevitable in as much as the
debt servicing capacity of corporates gets adversely
affected. This leads to a situation where they are not in
3. 3
a position to service the debts which in turn forces the borrowers
and their lenders to finds ways and means to ease this stress.
Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) is one such step.
Everyone is aware about the magnitude CDR is assuming. The
numbers are huge but it should not be inferred that the figure
under CDR would add to the Non-Performing Assets (NPA) of
banks. Past experience shows that only a small percentage of
accounts under CDR would slip to NPA category. Notwithstanding
this it was felt that the issue should be discussed and deliberated
to get a holistic view of the whole process.
In this handbook we have tried to pen down few of the important
issues in the CDR mechanism. There are other issues also details
of which can be accessed for the website of RBI as well as the CDR
site (www.rbi.org.in and www.cdrindia.org). I am quite hopeful
that all of us would gain further insight into the CDR mechanism.

A Overview
The global financial crisis has distressed the corporate
sector in a number of countries, affected both by a
tightening of credit and weaker consumer demand.
One of the most daunting challenges faced by
economic policy makers is the large scale corporate
restructuring. The objectives of large-scale corporate
restructuring are in essence to restructure viable
corporations and liquidate nonviable ones, restore the
health of the financial sector, and create the
conditions for long-term economic growth.
Aggressive hikes in benchmark interest rates, severe
slowdown in the global economic growth and
significant fall in the exchange rate of the Indian rupee
has adversely impacted the debt servicing capability of
Indian Corporates and is reflected by the rise in non-
performing assets (NPAs) levels. An even bigger
concern is the rising threat of loans getting
restructured as high inflation and interest rates impact
demand and reduce the pricing power of the
corporates. FY12 saw a massive spurt in restructured
loans, both at an absolute level and as a percentage of
total credit, as corporate cash flows have been
affected drastically.
This brought in an era of Corporate Debt
Restructuring (CDR). It seeks to recognize impairment
by allowing the reorganization of outstanding
debt obligations by lessening the interest rates and
rescheduling the instalments by extending the term of
repayment. This enables increase in the ability of the
borrower to meet debt obligations by letting the
lender waive in part or convert a part of debt into
equity.
7. 7
According to the CDR Cell, during fiscal 2012 banks
have restructured ` 64,500 crore—an increase of 156%
over the previous year. This makes restructuring the
highest since its launch in 2001. It has helped revive
the macro-economic conditions for both the banks by
promptly recognizing and providing for the impairment
of their non-performing assets well in time.
The borrowers are also able to reduce their interest
and principal debt burdens by providing for sufficient
breathing space to genuinely viable units to enable
them to bring about a turnaround without having to
resort to tedious DRT and court procedures or end in
winding up proceedings.
From an economic point of view, CDR can be described
as a proactive measure to not let companies land into
a troublesome financial situation from where they
cannot make a recovery. It can be explained as a
voluntary and non-regulatory method for
organizations to deal with their dues. This is done by
increasing the time needed to pay the debts back and
bringing down the rates. This also lets the company
add to its capability to pay its debts. In some cases, the
lenders forego certain amounts of the debt amount in
lieu of equity acquisition in the company.
Need for Corporate Debt Restructuring
Banks have to face various difficulties while
restructuring their large exposures specially which are
involving more than one lender, under consortium /
multiple banking arrangements. In the background of
these difficulties, need for such a specialized
institutional mechanism arose. If a restructuring
involve a single bank, it becomes easier for the banks
to negotiate the terms of restructuring of their own
exposure with the customers but where a
restructuring involved multiple lenders, banks find it

monitoring efforts with the other banks involved.
Keeping in mind the above facts, Reserve Bank of India
put in place the scheme of CDR in August 2001 based
on the mechanism prevalent in countries which were
already seized of the matter e.g. U.K., Thailand, Korea,
Malaysia etc. These guidelines were finalized after
extensive discussion between Government of India,
Reserve Bank, Banks and FIs.
The main objective of the CDR framework was to
ensure timely and transparent mechanism for
restructuring the corporate debts of viable entities
facing problems, outside the purview of BIFR, DRT and
other legal proceedings, for the benefit of all
concerned.
9. 9
Structure:
CDR mechanism has three tier structures
1. CDR Standing Forum and its Core Group
It is a representative general body of all
financial institutions and banks participating in
CDR mechanism, which will lay down policies
and guidelines, and monitor the progress of
corporate debt restructuring.
It is a self-empowered body which lays down
policies and guidelines to be followed by the
CDR Empowered Group and CDR Cell for debt
restructuring and ensures their smooth
functioning and adherence to the prescribed
time schedules for debt restructuring. The CDR
Standing Forum comprise of Chairman &
Managing Directors of all banks and financial
institutions and Executive Director of RBI.
Since institutions like UTI, GIC, LIC may have
assumed exposures on certain borrowers;
these institutions also participate in the CDR
mechanism. The Forum elects its Chairman for
a period of one year.CDR Standing Forum
meets once in every six months to review and
monitor the progress of corporate debt
restructuring mechanism.
A CDR Core Group is carved out of the CDR
Standing Forum to assist the Standing Forum
in convening the meetings and taking decisions
relating to policy, on behalf of the Standing
Forum. The CDR Core Group lays down the
policies and guidelines to be followed by the
CDR Empowered Group and CDR Cell for debt
restructuring. The CDR Core Group also lays
10. 10
down guidelines to ensure that over-optimistic
projections are not assumed while preparing/
approving restructuring proposals especially
with regard to capacity utilization, price of
products, profit margin, demand, availability of
raw materials, input-output ratio and likely
impact of imports / international cost
competitiveness.
2. CDR Empowered Group
The individual cases of corporate debt
restructuring are decided by the CDR
Empowered Group, consisting of ED level
representatives of financial institutions and
banks who have an exposure to the concerned
company. Voting will be in proportion to the
exposure of the lenders only.
The group considers the preliminary report of
all cases of requests of restructuring,
submitted to it by the CDR Cell. After the
Empowered Group decides that restructuring
of the company is prima-facie feasible and the
enterprise is potentially viable in terms of the
policies and guidelines evolved by Standing
Forum, the detailed restructuring package will
be worked out by the CDR Cell in conjunction
with the Lead Institution.
3. CDR Cell
The CDR Cell initially scrutinize the proposals
received from borrowers / lenders, by calling
for proposed rehabilitation plan and other
information and put up the matter before the
CDR Empowered Group. If found feasible, CDR
Cell will proceed to prepare detailed
rehabilitation plan with the help of lenders
11. 11
and, if necessary, experts to be engaged from
outside. If not found prima facie feasible, the
lenders may start action for recovery of their
dues.
CDR Mechanism can be joined by all the banks
and financial institutions. It can also be joined
by Non Banking Finance Companies (NBFCs),
Asset reconstruction Companies (ARCs), State
Level Institutions (SLIs) and Co-Operative
Banks.

Eligibility Criteria
• The scheme will not apply to accounts
involving only one financial institution or one
bank. The CDR mechanism will cover only
multiple banking accounts / syndication /
consortium accounts with outstanding
exposure of ` 10 crore and above by banks and
institutions.
• The accounts may be eligible for consideration
under the CDR mechanism provided; the
initiative to resolve the case under the CDR
mechanism is taken by at least 75% of the
lenders by value and 60% by number of
creditors.
• BIFR cases are not eligible for restructuring
under the CDR mechanism. However, large
value BIFR cases may be eligible for
restructuring under the CDR mechanism if
specifically recommended by the CDR Core
Group.
Legal Basis
• CDR, a non-statutory mechanism, is a
voluntary system based on Debtor-Creditor
Agreement (DCA) and Inter-Creditor
Agreement (ICA).
• The Debtor-Creditor Agreement (DCA) and the
Inter-Creditor Agreement (ICA) provides the
legal basis to the CDR mechanism. The debtors
have to accede to the DCA, either at the time
of original loan documentation (for future
cases) or at the time of reference to Corporate
14. 14
Debt Restructuring Cell. The ICA signed by the
creditors will be initially valid for a period of 3
years and subject to renewal for further
periods of 3 years thereafter.
• Lenders and other third parties who have not
joined the CDR mechanism, could join CDR
mechanism of a particular corporate by signing
transaction to transaction ICA, wherever they
have exposure to such corporate, if permitted
by RBI. RBI has now permitted transaction to
transaction membership to ARCs, NBFCs, State
Level Institutions and Co-operative Banks.
Eligibility of Category I & II under CDR
Mechanism
Category I
The Category I CDR mechanism is applicable to
accounts, which are classified as 'standard' and 'sub-
standard'. There may be a situation where a small
portion of debt by a bank might be classified as
doubtful. In that situation, if the account has been
classified as ‘standard’/ ‘substandard’ in the books of
at least 90% of lenders (by value), the same would be
treated as standard/ substandard, only for the purpose
of judging the account as eligible for CDR, in the books
of the remaining 10% of lenders.
Category II
There have been instances where the projects have
been found to be viable by the lenders but the
accounts could not be taken up for restructuring under
the CDR mechanism as they fell under ‘doubtful’
category. Hence, second category of CDR would be
there for cases where the accounts have been
classified as ‘doubtful’ in the books of the lenders, and
15. 15
if a minimum of 75% of creditors (by value) and 60%
creditors (by number) satisfy themselves of the
viability of the account and consent for such
restructuring, subject to the following conditions:
• It will not be binding on the creditors to take
up additional financing worked out under the
debt restructuring package and the decision to
lend or not to lend will depend on each
bank/FI separately. In other words, under the
second category of the CDR mechanism, the
existing loans will only be restructured and it
would be up to the promoter to firm up
additional financing arrangement with new or
existing creditors individually
• All other norms under the CDR mechanism
such as the standstill clause, asset
classification status during the pendency of
restructuring under CDR, etc., will continue to
be applicable to this category also.
BIFR Cases: Eligibility Criteria
In terms of RBI guidelines on CDR Mechanism,
corporates with aggregate outstanding exposure of `10
crore and above are eligible for restructuring under
CDR Mechanism. The guidelines also allow
restructuring of large-value BIFR cases for
restructuring under the CDR mechanism if specially
recommended by the CDR Core Group. As per the Core
Group decision, one of the eligibility criteria for taking
up BIFR cases for restructuring under CDR Mechanism
is minimum cut-off limit of `15 crore of aggregate
outstanding exposure of Banks/FIs. The exposure
would exclude equity and preference shares
subscribed to by FIs/Banks. Details of eligibility criteria,
16. 16
financial parameters, etc. to be complied with in
respect of BIFR cases are given in Annexure I.
In case regulatory benefits are to be availed for such
BIFR cases, then regular financial parameters
applicable to normal cases would be applicable to such
BIFR cases also, in addition to the stipulation that
Profit after Tax should be positive in 5 years.
Case of Wilful Defaulters-Eligibility
Criteria
While corporates indulging in frauds and malfeasance
even in a single bank will continue to remain ineligible
for restructuring under CDR mechanism as hitherto,
the Core Group may review the reasons for
classification of the borrower as wilful defaulter
specially in old cases where the manner of
classification of a borrower as a wilful defaulter was
not transparent and satisfy itself that the borrower is
in a position to rectify the wilful default provided he is
granted an opportunity under the CDR mechanism.
Such exceptional cases may be admitted for
restructuring with the approval of the Core Group
only. The Core Group may ensure that cases involving
frauds or diversion of funds with malafide intent are
not covered.
In view of the above, details of eligibility criteria to be
followed in respect of cases of wilful defaulters etc. are
given in Annexure II.
17. 17
Borrower Classification for
Stipulation of Standard
Terms & Conditions
It is observed that borrower-Corporates get into a
stress situation because of various external and
internal factors. The restructuring schemes are
accordingly formulated envisaging various actions on
the part of the borrowers and participating lenders.
Based on experience and various features of the
borrower-corporates and their promoters/sponsors,
the borrower-corporates are categorized into four
Classes for the purpose of stipulation of standard
terms & conditions under the CDR Mechanism. The
classification is as under:
1. Borrower Class ‘A’: Corporates affected by
external factors pertaining to economy and
Industry.
2. Borrower Class 'B': Corporates/promoters
affected by external factors and also having
weak resources, inadequate vision, and not
having support of professional management.
3. Borrower Class 'C': Over-ambitious promoters;
and borrower-corporates which diverted funds
to related/unrelated fields with/without
lenders' permission.
4. Borrower Class ‘D’: Financially undisciplined
borrower-corporates.
The classification of each borrower-corporate
shall be decided at the meeting of the CDR
Empowered Group (EG), whereat the Final
Restructuring Proposal is approved.
18. 18
Decision Process in CDR
Mechanism
A decision of the CDR Empowered Group
relating to prima facie feasibility and/or final
approval of a Restructuring Scheme shall be
taken by a Super-Majority Vote at a duly
convened meeting, after giving reasonable
notice, to the Lenders and to the eligible
Borrower.
In case any change/alteration/modification to the
Approved Restructuring Scheme is required, the
Referring Lender/CDR Cell shall refer the same to the
CDR Empowered Group and the decision of the CDR
Empowered Group relating to such
changes/alteration/modification shall be taken by a
Super-Majority Vote at a duly convened meeting, after
giving reasonable notice, to the Lenders and to the
Eligible Borrower.
[Super-majority Vote as above mentioned is defined as
follows: “Super-Majority Vote” shall mean votes cast in
favour of a proposal by not less than sixty percent
(60%) of number of Lenders and holding not less than
seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate Principal
Outstanding Financial Assistance.]
Lenders not having mandate at the time of CDR EG
meeting could furnish their stand shortly after the
meeting but not later than the next meeting and their
stand if received by then should be taken into account
for voting, and
• Lenders not furnishing their stand before the
next CDR EG meeting should be excluded from
voting.
19. 19
• In certain matters like right of recompense,
pre-payment premium, sharing of securities
etc. (for original CDR debts) in which only the
original CDR lenders’ interests were required
to be protected, the exposure of new lenders
in the account should not be included for
counting 75% by value and 60% by number of
members for super majority vote, since after
considering the voting power of new lender(s),
the decisions in the above matters would get
affected. In all other matters, exposure of all
the CDR lenders, as at the end of previous
quarter, should be taken for the purpose of
voting.
Communication of Decision of CDR
Empowered Group (EG):
To avoid delay in communication of decision of CDR
Empowered Group after approval of restructuring
package, following procedure is considered for the
issuance of Letter of Approval (LOA):
I. CDR cell shall issue LOA/convey the decision of
CDR EG to the lenders on approval of the
minutes of CDR EG by the Chairman of CDR EG.
II. On confirmation of minutes of CDR EG, the
amendments, if any, in the LOA/decision of
CDR EG would be conveyed to the lenders and
final LOA/letter conveying decision of CDR EG
would be issued to the lenders and the
company.
III. In case LOA/decision of CDR EG consists of
refinancing of debt/settlement from the funds
of private strategic investors, the date of
issuance of final LOA/decision of CDR EG to the
20. 20
company after confirmation of minutes of CDR
EG, may be treated as the reference date for
the purpose of outer time limit for
refinancing/settlement of debt as stipulated in
CDR EG decision.
21. 21
Financial Viability
Parameters
The viability parameters should be
compared with the industry averages and
suitable comments should be incorporated
in the Final Restructuring Package.
Additionally, capacity utilization, price
realization per unit and Profit before
Interest, Depreciation, and Tax (PBIDT) of the
borrower-corporate should be compared with the
relative industry averages. In the event the indicators
are not in consonance with the viability benchmarks or
industry averages, suitable qualitative comments
should be incorporated justifying the variations.
I. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) –
Minimum ROCE equivalent to 5 year G-Sec
plus 2% may be considered as adequate
II. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) - The
adjusted DSCR should be >1.25 within the 7
years period in which the unit should become
viable and on year-to-year basis DSCR to be
above 1. The normal DSCR for 10 years
repayment period should be around 1.33:1.
III. Gap between Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and
Cost of Capital – The benchmark gap between
IRR and Average Cost of Funds should be at
least 1%.
IV. Extent of Sacrifice – The sacrifice on the part of
lenders would be waiver of liquidated
damages and in some cases compound
interest. Waiver of simple interest and
principal should be resorted to in deserving
• ROCE = 5 yr. G Sec + 2 %
• For 7 yrs. DSCR > 1.25, Year to
year >1, For 10 yrs. > 1.33
• Avg. Cost of Capital – IRR ≥ 1%
• Gross Profit Margin should be
comparable to Industry average
22. 22
cases only. Economic sacrifices in the form of
reduction in interest/coupon rate should be
avoided. While the thrust of the restructuring
exercise should be on recovering the
maximum possible amount from the
borrowers, conversion of a part of the sacrifice
into equity or any other instrument should
also be explored. This would be beneficial from
the point of view of sharing the upside when
the fortunes of the company improve pursuant
to restructuring.
V. Break-Even Analysis – Operating and cash
break-even points should be worked out and
they should be comparable with the industry
norms.
VI. Gross Profit Margin (GPM) - GPM is considered
as a good indicator of the reasonableness of
the assumptions underlying the profitability
projections, it is necessary that various
elements of profitability estimates such as
capacity utilization, price trend and price
realization per unit, cost structure, etc. should
be comparable to those of the operating units
in the same industry. Wide variation, if any, of
company’s GPM from the industry average
would be required to be explained with
qualitative information.
VII. Loan Life Ratio (LLR) – Benchmark LLR of 1.4,
which would give a cushion of 40% to the
amount of loan to be serviced, may be
considered adequate.
• Waiver of simple interest and
principal should be resorted
• Benchmark Loan Life Ratio (LLR)
of 1.4
23. 23
Time Frame for
Processing and
Implementation of
Restructuring
Schemes
The Flash Reports and Final Restructuring Proposals
should be circulated ten days before and Review
Status Notes, seven days before the meeting of the
CDR Empowered Group (EG) to the Nodal Officers of
all participating lenders.
The Final Restructuring Proposal should be submitted
to the CDR EG at the earliest after clearance of the
Flash Report so that the final package may be
approved by CDR EG within a period of 60 days from
the date of admission of the Flash Report, except for
large and complicated cases, to be decided by CDR EG,
for which the time frame would be 90 days. If the final
decision on a particular case is not taken within the
stipulated time frame i.e. 60/90 days, as the case may
be, the restructuring proposal would automatically be
treated as closed unless extension of time beyond
60/90 days is specially sought by the Referring
Institution (up to a maximum limit of 180 days) and the
same is permitted by the CDR Core Group. Such closed
cases would be considered for re-entry in the CDR
mechanism only with the permission of the Core
Group.
• A time span of 45 days from the date of issue
of Letter of Approval (LOA) by CDR Cell will be
available to individual lenders for sanctioning
24. 24
the approved CDR package and further 45 days
to lenders for its implementation. However as
per RBI guidelines, approved CDR package
should be implemented within 120 days from
the date of issuance of LOA. This may be
considered as outer time limit for the
implementation of approved CDR package.
• Any delay in sanction and implementation of
the restructuring package will be construed as
an event of non-compliance and in terms of
the Inter-Creditor Agreement, non-complying
lenders might be called upon to pay
compensation as might be determined by the
CDR Core Group.
• All cases for which CDR Core Group has given
in-principle approval for Re-entry, Rework,
entry of BIFR cases or cases of Wilful
Defaulters should be finalised and referred to
CDR EG within 60 days of approval by CDR
Core Group.
• Time frame for the execution of MRA/TRA: To
avoid undue delay in execution of MRA and
TRA, following time frame is prescribed:
I. On approval of the restructuring package,
Monitoring Institution (MI) should
immediately circulate draft MRA incorporating
necessary modifications in terms of
restructuring package, without waiting for the
sanction letter from individual members.
II. Lenders should convey their
observations/suggestions within three weeks
of receipt of draft MRA from MI. If no
communication is received from lender(s)
25. 25
within three weeks, it may be treated as if the
lender has no objection to the draft MRA.
III. Thereafter, MI should incorporate relevant
suggestions/modifications to the draft MRA
and fix the date of execution of MRA within a
week’s time.
IV. Similarly, TRA Bank should circulate the draft
TRA incorporating necessary modifications in
terms of restructuring package and circulate
the same to the lenders on receipt of letter of
approval from CDR cell.
V. The lenders shall convey their
suggestions/modifications within three weeks
of receipt of draft TRA. If no communication is
received from lender(s) within three weeks; it
may be treated as if the lender has no
objection to the draft TRA.
VI. Thereafter, TRA banks should incorporate
relevant suggestions/modifications to the draft
TRA and fix the date for execution of TRA
within a week’s time.
26. 26
Monitoring
Mechanism
Effective monitoring of the progress of
implementation of restructuring schemes is
critical to the success of CDR Mechanism.
Accordingly, a Monitoring Mechanism has
been evolved as part of the CDR
Mechanism. The Mechanism comprises
Monitoring Institution (Referring
Institution), Monitoring Committee (MC)
and external agencies of repute to
complement monitoring efforts and also to
carry out work of Lenders' Engineer/
Concurrent Audit/ Special Audit/ Valuation
etc.
CDR EG shall constitute an MC to oversee the
implementation of the approved Restructuring
Scheme. The MC shall generally comprise one term
lender, one working capital bank, one minority lender
and the CDR Cell. MC is a recommendatory body and
does not have authorisation to accord any approval.
All outstanding matters should be brought by the
Monitoring Institution to MC meetings for discussion /
resolution so that at the EG meetings, a final view/
consensus may be arrived at expeditiously. The Lender
who makes the reference to CDR mechanism or any
other Bank/Financial Institution as per the decision of
CDR Empowered Group is called a Monitoring
Institution. CDR Empowered Group can also consider
appointment of transaction specific member as
Monitoring Institution on a case-to-case basis.
MC shall report the progress of implementation of the
approved Restructuring Scheme to the CDR Cell on a
27. 27
monthly basis. In case of any difficulty in
implementation of the approved Restructuring
Scheme, MC may approach the CDR EG for necessary
direction and/or guidance. In case of any dispute
between the lenders, the MC and the Borrower in
respect of implementation of the approved
Restructuring Scheme, the decision of the CDR EG shall
be final and binding on the parties to that dispute. The
CDR Core Group may evolve appropriate procedure for
monitoring of implementation of the Approved
Restructuring Schemes.
Following operating practices are to be observed for
smooth conduct of MC meetings.
I. Till such time a restructuring package is
sanctioned and fully implemented by all
lenders, the MC meetings should be convened
by the Monitoring Institution generally once in
a month and thereafter, at least once every
three months. At least one MC meeting every
year should be held at the company’s plant.
II. MC should monitor sanction, implementation
and compliance of terms and conditions of the
package in a time-bound manner by lenders /
borrower-corporates/ promoters.
III. MC should monitor the progress and
operational performance of the borrower-
corporate as per CDR package.
IV. MC should ensure completion of
documentation such as MRA, TRA, security
creation etc.
V. MC should ensure reconciliation of various
figures and work out recompense amount.
28. 28
VI. MC should discuss the outstanding issues
between lenders / borrower-corporates/
promoters and suggest remedial steps for their
resolution.
VII. MC should discuss and make recommendation
on any other issue as may be brought up by
lenders / CDR EG.
VIII. MC should make recommendations on various
proposals presented by borrower-corporate
including review of conditions / compliances /
modifications.
IX. MC should make recommendations on
appointment of Concurrent Auditor/ special
agencies/ valuers etc.
X. The promoters/company officials and, if
considered necessary, the Concurrent
Auditors, Lenders’ Engineers also should be
invited to the MC meetings as special invitees.
XI. Whenever larger issues such as those relating
to sharing of charge, Working Capital tie-up,
expansion/ modernization, etc are to be
discussed, then all participating lenders to the
borrower-corporate including consortium
members should be invited to the MC
meetings.
XII. In cases where transfer / assignment of debt
has been made by CDR members in favour of
non-CDR entities viz. Asset Reconstruction
Companies, NBFCs, investor funds etc, unless
they have joined in CDR system on transaction
specific basis, then such entities should also be
invited to MC meetings. This would enable the
existing members and such new entities to
29. 29
understand each other’s requirements and
would foster greater co-operation so essential
for the success of the CDR packages.
XIII. Any proposal for One Time Settlement, partial
prepayment to CDR members/ non-CDR
entities etc. should be referred by the
borrower-corporate to MC for discussion and
recommendation to CDR EG for approval. Only
on receipt of CDR EG's approval, such
settlements should be done.
XIV. Minutes of the MC meetings should be
circulated to all CDR members having exposure
in the particular case. Besides, copies of the
Minutes should also be forwarded to nodal
officers of all such CDR members.
XV. All expenses for conduct of MC meetings are
to be borne by the borrower-corporate and
stipulation to this effect should be included in
CDR LOAs. In respect of past cases, the
Monitoring Institutions should advise the
concerned borrower-corporates accordingly.
XVI. CDR Cell can also convene Monitoring
Committee meeting, where a meeting of
Monitoring Committee is not held for more
than three months and even after two-three
reminders to Monitoring Institution, there is
no prompt response and especially when there
is any issue required to be discussed amongst
the MC members/lenders. CDR Cell shall
recover the expenses incurred in this regard
from Monitoring Institution/company.

The CDR package could be treated as implemented by
a lender if the following conditions are fulfilled:
• The package was sanctioned by the lender(s)
concerned and effect had been given in the
books of account of the lender(s);
• Promoters’ contribution to the extent
envisaged in the package had been brought in;
and
• MRA was executed binding the lender(s) and
the company for compliance of all terms and
conditions of the approved package.
31. 31
SHARING OF SECURITIES
As regards sharing of securities between Term
Lenders and Working Capital Lenders, the
following approach should be adopted:
• Working Capital Term Loan (WCTL) and
Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) shall
be secured by Pari-Passu charge on the
fixed assets. However, CDR EG shall have
flexibility in deciding on this aspect on a case-
to-case basis
• Sharing of securities with unsecured lenders
may be considered by CDR EG on a case-to-
case basis and should be restricted only to CDR
members.
• Lenders having exclusive charge on a specific
asset cannot be forced to share their charge
on the said security with other lenders when
the asset has not been acquired by using the
funds lent by other lenders.
In order to facilitate expeditious creation of security
including pooling of security, the following procedures
shall be adopted:
I. Independent Security Agency may be
appointed.
II. No Objection Certificate (NOC) on behalf of
CDR members, for creation of security, shall be
issued by CDR Cell.
III. Other formalities necessary for creation of
charge shall be completed by the lead financial
institution and the lead bank.
32. 32
IV. Pledge Agreement, Deed of Hypothecation etc.
to be obtained from the concerned borrowers
in prescribed formats
V. Assistance of Concurrent Auditor / Valuation
Agency may be taken for the purpose of
creation of security.
VI. The entire process of creation of charge should
be completed within 90 days from the date of
Letter of Approval (LOA) issued by CDR Cell.
VII. While security creation is important for
implementation of CDR packages, continuity of
a viable CDR package also needs to be ensured
by lenders, while insisting on sharing the
security.
VIII. Security Trustee/agent can also be appointed
for carrying out the task of security creation.
The other related conditions can also be
stipulated such as ‘Power of Attorney/letter of
authority by the borrower tec.
33. 33
Conversion of Debt /
Sacrifices Into Equity
I. Lenders shall have the right to convert up to
20% of the loan outstanding beyond seven
years into equity at any time after seven years
from the date of Letter of Approval issued by
CDR Cell.
II. Such conversion shall be as per the guidelines
issued by Securities & Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) from time-to-time/ or as per the
applicable loan covenants.
III. As regards zero coupon FITL remaining
outstanding beyond seven years, the
conversion right shall be applicable to the
entire amount.
IV. In the event all lenders or any of the lenders
exercise their right to sell the shares issued in
terms of the conversion clause, the first right
of refusal to buy back the shares shall lie with
the promoters. In such case also the
conversion would be as per SEBI guidelines or
applicable loan covenants.
V. Normally, there shall not be any restriction on
sale of equity shares acquired by lenders
through conversion option except point (IV)
above.
34. 34
Exit of Cases from
CDR Mechanism
The case may exit from CDR if the
following criteria are met:
I. Package is fully implemented by
lenders and security creation,
compliance by promoters /
borrower-corporate in terms of
bringing promoters’ contribution,
issuance of equity to lenders,
derating, necessary BIFR / statutory approvals
and tie-up of additional finance / WC, as per
the package, have taken place.
II. Operational performance of borrower-
corporate is better than or is in line with
EBIDTA projections under CDR for two
consecutive years.
III. Payment track record of borrower-corporate is
generally regular, as per CDR package for two
consecutive years.
IV. Minimum period of three years from the date
of LOA is over.
V. Borrower-corporate seeking exit from CDR has
agreed to make payment of recompense
amount as well as prepayment premium as per
CDR guidelines or has settled payment terms
with individual lenders.
VI. In case the above parameters are met, the
quantum of repayment would not be the
criteria for exit.
35. 35
VII. However, in case 100% of the lenders decide in
favour of exit of a particular case, the above
criteria would not apply. CDR EG may relax the
criteria of consecutive two years’ performance
mentioned at (II) and (III) above, as also
minimum period of three years if the CDR
lenders so decide.
Procedure for Exit
The procedure for consideration of exit would be as
under:

Annexure- II
CASES OF WILFUL DEFAULTERS: ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA,
FINANCIAL VIABILITY PARAMETERS PROCEDURAL ASPECTS
1. RBI definition of wilful default
RBI in its guidelines (issued on May 30, 2002) for reporting the names of
borrower-corporates as wilful defaulters has defined the following action of
the borrower-corporates as wilful defaults
• The unit has defaulted in meeting its payment/ repayment obligations
to the lender even when it has the capacity to honour the said
obligations.
• The unit has defaulted in meeting its payment/ repayment obligations
to the lender and has not utilized the finance from the lender for the
specific purposes for which finance was availed of but has diverted the
funds for other purposes.
• The unit has defaulted in meeting its payment/ repayment obligations
to the lender and has siphoned off the funds so that the funds have not
been utilized for the specific purpose for which finance was availed of,
nor are the funds available with the unit in the form of other assets.
2. Clarification on process of declaration as wilful defaulter
Subsequently, on June 17, 2004, RBI issued a clarification on process to be
adopted for finalizing such reporting to RBI/CIBIL which included the following:
• Identification of default as ‘wilful’ based on the above definition
through a
• Committee consisting of three GMs/ DGMs.
• Decision to classify the borrower as wilful defaulter to be entrusted to a
Committee of higher functionaries headed by the Executive Director
and consisting of two GMs/DGMs as decided at the concerned bank/FI.
41. 41
• Thereafter, Borrower to be suitably advised about the proposal to
classify it as wilful defaulter along with the reasons thereof. The
concerned borrower to be provided reasonable time (say 15 days) for
making representation against decision, if it so desires, to the
Committee headed by the Chairman & Managing Director.
• Final declaration as ‘wilful defaulter’ to be made after a view is taken by
the Committee on representation and the borrower to be suitably
advised. Decision taken on classification as ‘wilful defaulter’ to be well
documented and supported by requisite evidence.
• A grievance redressal mechanism to be created for giving a hearing to
borrowers who represent that they have been wrongly classified as
wilful defaulters. The grievance redressal mechanism to be headed by
Chairman & Managing Director and include two other Senior Officials.
3. RBI vide its circular no RBI/2004-05/63 dated July 23, 2004 advised Banks / FIs
to initiate the measures against wilful defaulters as indicated in the circular.
4. Cases of wilful defaulter not eligible under CDR
Cases of reported siphoning of funds or misfeasance, fraud, etc. (as one of the
reasons for wilful default) are prima-facie not eligible to be covered under CDR.
However, the Referring Institution may in consultation with the borrowers,
ascertain the facts from the statutory auditors, stock auditor and concurrent
auditor or get Special Investigative Audit conducted in this regard and convince
itself that such incidence, if any, is not affecting the interest of the lenders on a
long-term basis. However, if after due diligence, it is felt that such promoters
are not dependable for long term relationship, then in such cases, OTS or
change in management would be required to address the issue of wilful
default. If both are not possible, such cases should be kept out of CDR.
5. Procedure for referring cases of wilful defaulters to CDR
Before referring any case, the referring institution should check the lists of
wilful defaulters, which are maintained and updated by RBI/ CIBIL from time-
to-time based on reporting by FIs/ banks, to verify whether any FI/ bank has
reported the company as wilful defaulter.
42. 42
If it is listed as a case of wilful defaulter with RBI/CIBIL, the Referring Institution
should ascertain from the concerned lenders the reasons for reporting the
borrower as a wilful defaulter and the remedial action proposed, either
through correspondence or by convening a joint meeting.
The objective should be only to collect the relevant information and not to sit
in judgment whether the action of the concerned lender(s) of reporting as
wilful defaulter was correct or not. The remedy for addressing the issue of
wilful default in a particular case should generally be found based on
discussions with other participating FIs /banks and the borrowers.
As regards non-CDR members, it may be difficult to obtain particulars about
reasons for reporting a case as wilful defaulter as also the procedure followed
and the remedial measures suggested by such lenders. In such cases,
information may be collected from the borrower and corroborated by facts
gathered through actual discussion with non-CDR members. Since the exact
nature of the remedy to address concerns of such members cannot be
crystallized without the approval of their competent authorities, the Referring
Institution may have to make a reasonable judgment for preparing the scheme
with special bucket (if absolutely essential) for addressing the wilful default
status for CDR members. However, it would be desirable that they fall in line
with the CDR package without any special bucket. In case additional cash flows
are required for settlement with such lenders, the promoters should arrange
the same.
The Referring Institution should prepare the Flash Report in the CDR format for
submission to the CDR Core Group, also indicating details of reporting as Wilful
Defaulter, gist of discussions at joint lender’s meetings, justification for
considering the case of wilful defaulter under CDR, time schedule for referring
the Flash Report to CDR EG and finalising the restructuring package etc.
In case the reason for reporting as wilful defaulter is diversion of funds, use of
debt for purposes other than intended, use of long-term funds for short-term
purposes or vice-versa or from one group company to other etc., then
following course of action may be adopted.
• If the funds have been utilized by the group company / associates and
subsidiary company or company under the same management, then
43. 43
such funds may be brought back in a time-bound manner to the TRA of
the main company.
• In case such funds were used for some other purposes such as
investment, stock market operations, meeting capital expenditure,
meeting cash losses, making payments to other lenders, etc., it may be
difficult to bring back such funds. In such situations, promoters may
have to come up with alternative proposals including bringing funds
from their other sources. As mentioned above, if based on investigate
audit, super-majority of lenders feel that it is a case of siphoning of
funds, then in such a case remedy is only to get the funds back from
promoters’ other sources. However, in such situations, continuing with
the same management need to be looked into.
• In any case, under both situations (a or b above), the objective is to get
the funds back into the company’s TRA in a time-bound manner. The
funds could also be brought back by way of sale of assets or
investments. If such assets are created in other group company, then
lenders of the concerned company may have to agree for it.
• As promoters are the common thread for such past actions, the
responsibility for finding a remedy for wilful default should lie with the
promoters and they must give a suitable undertaking for the same.
• After considering the proposal for bringing back diverted funds into the
TRA, decision regarding redistribution thereof may be left to CDR EG.
In cases where change in management, strategic investment, venture
capital funds with professional management etc. are envisaged, it may not
be possible to complete the process at the stage of Core Group discussion
or at the stage of Flash or Final Restructuring proposal. Therefore, some
time-bound programme may be drawn for completion of such tasks and
incorporated in LOA with suitable enabling clauses so that it does not
amount to second restructuring. Such commitment from the company/
existing promoters could be included in the Note for Core Group
deliberations.
Once the Core Group accords in-principle clearance to admission of a
particular case of wilful defaulter, the Flash Report in the stipulated format
44. 44
should be submitted to CDR EG for approving admission to CDR and usual
procedure should be adopted thereafter.
After implementation of the approved package, the concerned lenders
should withdraw the name from the list of willful defaulters.
It is also felt that super-majority vote cannot be used to force some lenders
to withdraw the company’s name from the list of wilful defaulters.
There are some existing CDR cases approved before the RBI clarification on
considering cases of wilful defaulter under CDR. In such cases; names of the
corporate borrowers have not been withdrawn from the list of wilful
defaulter as yet. The concerned lenders should withdraw such names
forthwith.
