PREFACE 
Banks are regarded as the blood of the nation’s economy without them one cannot 
imagine economy moving. Therefore banks should be operated very efficiently, co-operative 
banks although a small part of whole banking system in India, but they are very 
important not only from economical point of view but also from social point of view as it 
is more concerned about common people’s welfare and development. 
Advance is heart and recovery is oxygen for the bank and for the bank to survive it is 
necessary to give advances and recover the amount at the appropriate time. Through 
credit management I have tried to cover the various aspects like credit appraisal, NPA 
management, recovery management, etc. E.g. credit management covers all the areas 
right form the beginning like inquiry till the loan has been paid up. 
Though credit management, a very vast topic, I have tried to incorporate to the best of my 
capacity from all possible aspects in this project. 
I do hope that institution will appreciate this project.
ACHNOWLEDGEMENT 
“We can not determine milk of how many cows feed our body.” – Anon 
I believe an ocean is filled by drops and each and every drop should count, similarly I 
should count favor of all my helpers here but this not possible. So forgive me for the 
same. 
First of all I would like to thank Board of Directors. 
I am thankful to manager G.C.Raol to give me permission for the summer training. 
I want to express my sincere obligation to Kotak Sir, Kumarilbhai, Shileshbhai 
Nathwani, Hiteshbhai Rachchh, and all the staff members of RDC BANK BANK, 
where I worked so long in a homely pleasant atmosphere. 
Especially, I would like to thank Salimbhai Bloch and Rajnibhai Raichura, my mentor 
who guided me in my work. 
I am thankful to Mr. Khandelwal (principal of our college) and Mr. viral sir for their 
guidance and Mr. Niraj Amarnani for the arrangement of summer placement. 
Last but not least my family, which is always behind me in my work for support any time.
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY 
Banking is the activity of my interest. I have seen from the annual reports of the various 
banks and find that most of their income is from the interest getting on the credit given so 
I choose and hence I studied on credit management. 
Game of statistics is always attracts me and banking is one the place where we can learn 
it very well. So I have selected bank and have preferred “credit management” as topic for 
my project.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 
There are many methods, which are well known today for research methodology, out of 
which one I have chosen is “sampling method”, which is really easier, still producing 
accurate results. 
Sampling in laymen’s language, is nothing but selecting pockets or samples representing 
the whole group and analysis of these samples gives the idea about the respective groups. 
On the basis of this, prediction is done and full information about group is integrated. 
Though this is not a first hand method, it gives sufficiently good outcomes if used 
carefully by experts. It saves the time and energy. The only care should be taken, in order 
to have great accuracy, is selection of sample should be such that it should represent the 
whole group and information we get from them should be cent percent reliable. 
Salient features of my chosen sample 
 The biggest co-operative bank having head office in my vicinity enables me to do 
my work efficiently. This is the striking feature of my sample. 
 The exclusive schedule bank in Rajkot and hence gets priority over the others. 
 Generally the new bank lacks the experience so it is mandatory to select a sample, 
which has enormous experience. RDC BANK has a gigantic experience of 
successful 50 years, under the lights of which work becomes easier. 
 The other enchanting point is that RDC Bank have maximum number of 
shareholder i.e. above 2 lacs.

EARLY HISTORY OF BANKING 
As early as 2000 B.C., the Babylonians has developed a banking system. There is 
evidence to show the temples of Babylon were used as banks. After a period of time, 
there was a spread of irreligion, which soon destroyed the public sense of security in 
depositing money and valuable in temples. The priests were longer acting as financial 45 
agents. The Romans did minute regulations, as to conduct private banking and to create 
confidence in it. Loan banks were also common in Rome. From these the poor citizens 
received loans without paying interest, against security of land for 3 or 4 years. 
During the early periods, although private individuals mostly did the banking business, 
many countries established public banks either for the purpose of facilitating commerce 
or to serve the government. 
However, upon the revival of civilization, growing necessity forced the issued in the 
middle of the 12th century and banks were established at Venice and Genoa. The Bank of 
Venice established in 1157 is supposed to be the most ancient bank. Originally, it was not 
a bank in the modern sense, during simply an office for the transfer of the public debt. 
Again the origin of modern banking may be traced to the money dealers in Florence, who 
received money on deposit, and were lenders of money in the 14th century and also in 
1349, the business of banking was carried on by drapers of Barcelona. 
In India, as early as the Vedic Period, banking, in most crude from existed. The books of 
Manu contain references regarding deposits, pledges, policy of loans, and rate of interest. 
True, the banking in those days largely mint money lending and they did not know the 
complicated mechanism of modern banking. 
This is true not only in the case of India but also of other countries. Although, the 
business of banking is as old as authentic history, banking institutions have since than 
changed in character and content very much. They have developed from a few simple 
operation involving the satisfaction of a few individual wants to the complicated 
mechanism of modern banking, involving the satisfaction of capital slowly seeking 
employment and thus providing the very life blood of commerce.
THE ORIGIN OF WORD ‘BANK’ 
The word ‘Bank’ itself derived from the word ‘bancus’ or ‘banque’ that is a French. 
There were others of the opinion that the word ‘Bank’ is originally derived from the 
German word ‘back’ meaning joint for which was Italianised into ‘banco’.

1935. The principal aim behind this was to organize proper control over the currency 
management in the interest of country benefits and to maintain financial stability. With

MAIN FUND INFLOW (SOURCES OF FUNDS) 
Owned deposit 
Deposits 
Borrowings 
Others 
Owned deposit 
The owned funds consisting of paid capital of the bank, reserve fund, and other reserves. 
Deposits 
It is sum of current deposits, fixed deposits, saving deposits, special saving deposits, NRI 
deposits, inoperative deposits, etc. It is the main Cash Inflow for any institution. 
Borrowings 
The borrowed funds consisting of borrowings from other banks (as per some writer 
deposits of various types is also part of borrowed funds), debentures offered to public, 
etc. 
Others 
Increase in current liabilities, reduction in debtors, fund from operations like net income, 
depreciation, and reserves, less payment to creditors, reduction in advances, reduction in 
inventories, reduction in cash, sold marketable securities, etc.
MAIN FUND OUTFLOW (FUNDS USED) 
CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) with Reserve Bank of India 
SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) in Reserve Bank of India approved securities 
Loanable Fund 
Others 
CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) with Reserve Bank Of India 
The capacity of credits creation of bank is depending upon their cash flow received. To 
restrict this credit creation, the reserve bank of India has directed their terms. In case of 
scheduled banks and sec.18 of banking regulation act are required to maintain the cash 
reserve ratio *@ 4.75% and non-scheduled bank @ 3% of their demand and time liability 
amounts separately. The scheduled banks are required to deposit the cash reserve ratio 
amount with Reserve Bank of India while the non-scheduled banks are required to 
maintain separate account for this. The Reserve Bank of India is also empowered to raise 
the cash reserve ratio up to 15% only in respect of scheduled banks. It is maintained 
reported to RBI every fortnight. 
*30th April RBI declared new credit policy and as per that RBI reduced CRR with 0.25% 
Demand and time liability: 
Time liability is related with time like, fixed deposits 
Demand liability is related with the demand like, Current deposits, inoperative deposit, 
and matured fixed deposits 
SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) 
The cash flow for regular banking transactions mainly depends upon deposit received in 
the bank. The reserve bank of India therefore puts some restrictions on utilization of these 
amounts. The scheduled and non-scheduled banks are required to deposit 25% amount of 
their demand and time liability amount in the security approved by reserve bank of India. 
These securities are converted into cash and therefore they are termed as ‘liquid assets’ 
and 25% amount termed as ‘liquid ratio’. The reserve bank of India is empowered to raise 
this liquidity ratio from 25% to 40%. It is maintained average fortnight and reported to 
RBI. 
Loanable Fund
Credit deposit ratio is not more than 70%. 
Loanable funds means amount of money, which is applicable for lending. Three main 
factors own fund, deposits, and borrowings decide it. Advances can never be more than 
loanable fund. 
Loanable fund is a total of: 
 75% of own funds 
 70% of deposits 
 100% of borrowings 
Others 
Purchase of fixed assets, purchase of marketable securities, addition to advances, addition 
to inventories, payment to creditors, payment of dividend, etc..
Meaning of CREDIT 
The word ‘credit’ is actually derived from the Latin word ‘Credere’. ‘Credere’ means to 
have trust or faith. Thus ‘credit’ is directly related with trust. That is why State Ford 
stated that ‘Credit is nothing more than that of trust’. By this we can say that credit is a 
tool that is resulted by the complete mutual trust/faith. 
‘Credit creation implies a situation when a bank may receive interest simply by 
permitting customer to overdraw their accounts or by purchasing securities and paying for 
them its own cheque or bank may pay amount to borrower or directly to seller of goods 
whom against borrower get amount’. 
CREDIT MANAGEMENT 
Credit management means the total process of lending start from inquiry from potential 
borrower to recover the lending amount from borrower. Whenever my study is concern, 
credit management in sense of banking sector is the set of activities like accept 
application, loan appraisal, Shakh posting, monitoring, recovery, NPA management, etc.
FORMS OF CREDIT/ADVANCES 
Loan (term loan) 
Cash credit and overdrafts 
Purchase /discounting of bills 
Bank guarantee 
ANY OTHER GIVEN 
Loan/term loan 
In case of a loan a specified amount is sanctioned by the banker to the customer, who may 
either draw the amount in case immediately or may like the amount to be credited to his 
current account. But legally it is presumed that he has withdrawn the amount from the 
bank and deposited it in his current account. He is required to pay interest on the full 
amount from the date of sanction. A loan may be repayable in installments or in lump 
sum. 
Cash credit 
Cash credit is the main method of lending in India and accounts for above 70% of total 
bank credit. Under the system, the banker specifies the limit, called the cash credit limit 
for each customer, up to which the customer is permitted to borrower against the security 
of tangible assets or guarantees. The customer withdraws from his cash credit account as 
and when requires the funds and deposits any amount of money, which he finds surplus 
with him on any day. The cash credit amount is thus an active and running account to 
which deposits and withdrawals may be affected frequently. The customer is required to 
provide tangible assets as security to cover the amount borrowed from the banker. The 
borrower is charged interest on the actual amount utilized by borrower and for the period 
actually utilized only. 
Overdrafts 
When a current amount holder is permitted by the banker to draw more than what stands 
to his credit, such an advance is called an overdraft. The banker may take some collateral 
security or may grant such advance on the personal security of the borrower. The 
customer is permitted to withdraw the amount as and when he needs it and to repay it by
means of deposit in his account as and when it is feasible for him. Interest is charged on 
the exact amount overdrawn by the customer and for the period of its actual utilization 
Bills Purchase 
The Banker credits customer’s account with the amount of the bill after deduction his 
charges. As the demand bills are repayable on demand and there is no maturity, the 
banker is entitled to demand their payment immediately on presentation before of drawee. 
Their practice adopted in the case of demand bills, is known as purchase of the bills. 
Bills Discount 
In case of bills discounting, a bank credits the amount of the bill to the drawer’s account 
before the realization of the bill and thus lends its funds to him after deduction his 
charges. The bills purchased and bills discounted by a bank are, therefore, shown in its 
balance sheet as part of loans and advances. In case of a bill maturing after a period of 
time maximum for 180 days in RDC BANK, the banker retains the bill for that period and 
realizes the amount of bill from the drawee on its due date. This practice is called 
discounting of the bill. 
Bank Guarantee 
It is a contract to perform the promise or discharge the liability of a third person in case of 
his default. In case of guarantee, Bank is taking responsibility to pay the amount to seller 
if buyer will not pay amount in time.
TIME WISE BIFURCATION OF ADVANCES 
- Short-term Finance : Up to 26 months 
- Medium-term Finance : 26 to 66 months 
- Long-term Finance : Above 66 months 
SECURITY WISE BIFURCATION OF ADVANCES 
Secured Finance / Advances: 
Secured Advances are those advances, which provide absolute safety to the Banker by 
means of a charge, created on the tangible assets of the borrower in favor of the Banker. 
In such cases, the Banker gets certain rights in the tangible assets over which a charge is 
created. A Secured Loan or Advance means a loan or advance made on the security of 
assets, the market value of which is not at any time less than the amount of such loan or 
advance. 
Unsecured Finance / Advances: 
Unsecured Loan or Advance means a loan or advance, which are not secured, this types 
of advances is not preferable for any banking institutions.

report, this application is ready for putting against the loan committee of the bank. 
Inspection varies according to the various loans. For e.g. 
In case of cash credit he personally visits the business site and verifies the original books 
of accounts with that of submitted books of accounts. He verifies the real stock with the 
stock mentioned if any difference is found it is clearly mentioned in the report. 
In case of housing loan inspection officer visits the place and check whether the building

Scrutiny of credit 
While scrutinizing, an application from the bank takes into consideration--safety, 
liquidity, purpose profitability, security, and spread of advances. ANY OTHER 
THAN THIS? 
Safety 
Bank has to see that the prospective borrower is a reliable user of the finance and bank’s 
money is safe in his hands. 
Liquidity 
Bank has to find out that the borrower is quite capable in repaying the finance within 
reasonable period. 
Purpose 
The purpose for the finance should not be illegal. It should be creative, service oriented, 
development oriented, and like. Banks should check end use of funds. 
Profitability 
If the project or the purpose of the finance is not profitable in the hands of the borrower 
than he will not be in a position of repaying the amount to bank. It should be profitable 
enough to generate the income to satisfy his needs and bank’s dues. 
Security 
The bank has to take into consideration the character, capacity, and capital of the 
prospective borrower. Bigger advances and cash credit are to be secured with collateral 
security over and above prime security. 
Spread of advances 
For having balanced economy the bank should choose to spread the finance amongst 
various sectors of the society, so that the risk of incoming bad advances is minimized. 
Concentration on one type of advances may turn into bad advances if the scheme 
becomes ineffective due to some natural calamities or government rules or change in taste 
or demands of the society, by and large.

Data analysis and observation and suggestions 
Presence of loan policy 
In the RSNB, before two year there was not proper policy for loan, but separate circular 
for each loan. But at present RSNB have its own loan policy and criteria to sensor the 
loan. Coincidently, RBI also declared in near, each and every bank should have its own 
loan policy. This is the point, which is striking us the foresightedness of the bank 
management and also loan manager of that time Mr. Bhatt who prepare present loan 
policy with the help of the some efficient staff members of the loan department. 
Revision made on annual basis 
RSNB prepare its own loan policy just before two year. So in one sense, we can say 
RSNB revised its loan policy in last two year but it is not revised every year regularly. So 
I can suggest that to RSNB, for walk with the new era of credit market, bank should try to 
improve own self in the field of credit management by revising the loan policy time to 
time by learn from past year’s experience. 
Loan policy cover 
Delegation of lending power 
Method for assessment of working capital 
Rating of borrowers 
Loan pricing 
Delegation of lending power 
In the past time, RSNB had given delegation of lending power to its selected branch 
offices but at present RBI hurdle against this. By effect of it, RSNB cancel all the 
delegation power of its branch offices and burden of the head office gives in written in 
language of suggestion that what should be the decision? And head office only 
completely fulfils the legal formality to sanction the loan. However it takes more time for 
sanctioning loan but by the practical approach bank can solve this difficulty. 
Method of assessment of working capital 
In the RSNB, there are three methods for working capital, which is useful to bank for 
calculating the need of cash credit or short-term loan of firm. This method gives
advantage to bank to find out if the demand borrower is fair. Methods of working capital 
calculation are given below: 
Capital of borrower, and borrowing from relatives are multiplied by three 
Difference between current assets and current liabilities multiply by four 
20 % of estimated sales 
Borrower contribution 5% of the turnover in working capital is accepted 
Above three whichever is less is original working capital demand of the borrower as per 
the calculation of RSNB. 
Rating of borrowers 
RSNB has its own method of credit rating that is beneficial for both the bank and the 
borrower. Because through this bank should maintain their customer who deal with bank 
regularly and the borrower is appreciated for their performance. Another side borrower 
gets benefit through interest rate reduction. This method is given below: 
Credit rating of loans 
AAA: 
Cash credit account 
In the account, interest is paid regularly; it is paid at the end of every quarter within 10 
days. 
Stock statement is received regularly. 
Overdraft is paid regularly with its interest. 
Every document is getting regularly for review and renew of account. 
Term loans 
In the account, interest and installments are paid regularly. 
Notice is not given on account for any reason.
Amount of loan 
sanctioned 
Interest concession 
25,001 to 2,00,000 1 % 
2,00,001 to 10,00,000 1 % 
Above 10,00,000 2 % 
AA: 
Cash credit account 
In the account which interest is paid regularly; it is paid at the end of the every quarter 
maximum 30 days. 
Stock statement is received regularly 
Overdraft is paid regularly with its interest. 
Term loans 
Maximum two installments are due but at the end of the year i.e. on 31st march, there is 
no due installment. 
Amount of loan 
sanction 
Interest concession 
25,001 to 2,00,000 0.5 % 
2,00,001 to 10,00,000 0.5 % 
Above 10,00,000 1% 
Loan pricing 
RSNB always give more interest on deposit than other bank in Rajkot district to attract 
the market, effects the loan pricing. So loan rate of RSNB is higher. Though RSNB get 
customer because of its services, its speedy process, practical approach, and its reliability 
in market. But here one possibility is also that the payer of higher interest is sometime 
reason for future loss or burden on bank. So try to get deposit at lower rate to reduce the 
loan pricing. It is also fact that in this critical situation of co-operative banks, it is very 
hard to get deposits from the market but if bank management tries to create trust in 
public, here one more benefit is that the depositor and the borrower is the shareholder of
the bank or say owner of the bank. So it is less hard than other types of bank to create 
trust. 
Reporting format 
Reporting format for excess utilization of lending process by branch manager is now not 
needed, because as per the new guidelines of the RBI, branch of co-operative bank has no 
power to sanction loan. 
Identification of sensitive sectors and discounting further lending 
RSNB is not that much big bank in compare of commercial bank, though it is needed for 
the bank to watch on the general sensitive sectors means lending in that sector which is 
risky / dangerous for any financial institutions. For example lending against shares. To 
find out the special sensitive sector, we should continuously watch on our borrowers. 
Sometimes in case of co-operative banks, reason of their NPA is lending to particular 
group or industry. RSNB also keep watch and discouraging further lending. For example 
builders developers’ cash credit. 
Monitoring of unduly large exposure to an individual or a group 
To stop the unduly large exposure to an individual or a group, in RSNB loan staff 
monitor and draw attention of higher authority.

OBSERVATION AND FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS 
Format for collection of minimum information about potential borrower 
It is must for any bank who wants to win market to collect the information about his 
potential customer. RSNB a bank which eager to increase own market share also collect 
the information about future borrower. 
Use of software for credit appraisal 
Bank has own computer department to develop the software for bank but this is in the 
initial stage. Majority time consume work is done by the computer though appraisal of 
credit is done by manually. 
Revision in appraisal format during last two year 
RSNB prepared its policy before two year and decide proper criteria for sanction the loan. 
Different appraisal format for different loan segment 
There is one common format for all loans are not possible because each loan require 
particular information and calculation. Here in RSNB I find different appraisal format for 
different segments. That we see in above appraisal format. 
System of fixation of maximum time for loan sanction and sanction within limit 
On paper, there is no maximum limit for sanction the loan but generally as per the 
opinion of officer within ten days loan is sanctioned. Sometimes because of carelessness 
of the borrower or take time for providing needed documents is reason for delay of 
sanction the loan. 
In house expertise for appraisal of hi tech projects 
Special works always need experts but in RDC BANK we find lack of the expert for 
appraisal of hi tech project and it is dangerous pr say risky for any institution. I think 
RDC BANK have to recruit expert for appraisal of hi tech projects who has special 
knowledge about business sector and mastery of project report study and now because of 
VRS, expert having experience is easily available at low cost.
Practice of rating of borrower and loan pricing 
RDC BANK give rating to the borrower on the base of their last year dealing with bank. 
For that RDC BANK have software, which give rating to the borrower. At the time of 
appraisal, rating is not given. 
Compliance of terms and conditions- Promoter’s contribution, collateral securities,etc. 
Before preparing the loan report, it is keeping in view that all types of requirement are 
fulfilled. Condition letter is given to customer if customer fulfills all the conditions loan is 
sanctioned by bank. 
Computation of customer profitability per borrower 
Generally I practice, not a single cooperative bank in Rajkot is calculating the customer 
profitability per borrower. If it is calculated, bank can know which customers are more 
beneficial for them so bank can give attention to maintain them and can increase profit. 
Ad – hoc sanction rarely done 
At present, the various committee of bank considers ad-hoc/additional credit for meeting 
temporary requirement only after the borrower has fully utilized/exhausted the existing 
limit. In the ad-hoc sanction, nothing is taken as security so this is risky but the previous 
dealing of customer with the bank can give the picture of customer. 
Sanction of loan 
In the co-operative bank, sanctioning powers are only in the hands of board of directors 
so sometime loans are sanctioned on the bases of relation, not on the base of the 
deservedness of customer. I also consider that the cooperative banks are basically meant 
for the benefit of its members but within the limits of Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines. 
Slight modification in these rules for well being of members is still allowed.

CREDIT MONITORING, FOLLOW UP AND REVIEW 
When we lend, it is essential for us that to keep watch on it till we recover it. This is 
called credit monitoring in terms of banking. 
CREDIT MONITORING SYSTEM IN RSNB 
In the RDC BANK, there is system for credit monitoring specially account, which is 
above 10,00,000 rupees is described below: 
Find out the list of potential NPA accounts above 10,00,000 rupees 
Statements of potential NPA accounts are submitted to head office from branches 
Head office monitoring this every three months and prepare report on it. 
Report is submitted to board of directors. 
Follow up action for credit monitoring in RDC BANK 
Consolidation of data, which comes from the branches and every month, update the data 
and generate this and use it for follow up 
Head office directly sends the notice to account holders of such accounts 
To stop the slippage of the potential NPA accounts, bank organize the committee under 
authorization of Mr. Bhatt(A.G.M.) and Mr. Vadaliya(A.D.M.) with the help every 
branch recovery officers, they try to recover. General manager arranges the meeting for 
that and gives guidelines to the committee member.
OBSERVATION FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS 
System of loan portfolio review and monitoring 
There is system of weekly review and monitoring of loan portfolio in the RDC BANK, 
every week a statement is prepare to be acquainted with the present credit deposit ratio, if 
this ratio is less than 70% for example 65%, it represent that bank can finance up to 5 % 
at present. 
Preparation of MIS report for loan portfolio review at board level 
Every week, present situation of loan portfolio is putting against board of directors. 
Compliance of prudential guidelines 
Exposure Ceiling : a) Individual 20% of the total capital fund 
: b) Group 50% of the total capital fund 
Priority sector lending: Priority 60% of the total advances 
: Weaker 15% of the total advances 
This is followed by the RDC BANK 
Items of priority sectors 
Advances to individuals for activities allied to agriculture 
Loans and advances to cottage/small scale industries and equipment /system for 
development of new and renewable sources of energy. 
Advances to road and water transport operators for purchase of one vehicle 
Private retail traders dealing in essential commodities (fair practice shop) 
Other private retail traders with credit limit not exceeding Rs. 5,00,000

Professionals and self employed persons 
Educational loans 
Housing loans not exceeding Rs. 10,00,000

Timely renew and review by credit limit
Every year RDC BANK review cash credit accounts and every three years renew that 
accounts. At the time of review bank only keep in view the turnover of business, account 
inspection, field inspection, renew insurance, renew shop act license, proof of rent, 
income tax return or assessment of income tax, turnover with bank. But process of renew 
of accounts is totally inspection of party. Bank considers last three year’s business 
progress of the party and deal with bank also.

How account becomes Non Performing Assets? 
Term loans 
If interest or installment of principal remains past due for a period of any two quarters it 
becomes NPA. 
Past due means is an amount due under any of the facility but not paid within 30 days 
after it becomes due. 
Cash credit and overdrafts 
If the account remains out of order for a period of any two quarters, it becomes NPA. 
Out of order means 
If the out-standing balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned 
limit/drawing power 
There is no credit continuously for six months or 
Credit is not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period 
Bills purchase and discounting 
If the bills remains over due and unpaid for the period of two quarters during the year it 
becomes NPA. 
Other credit facility 
If any amount to be received remains past due for a period of two quarters during the 
year, it becomes NPA.
Asset classification 
The primary (urban) co-operative banks should classify their assets into the following 
broad groups, viz. 
Performing assets 
Standard assets 
Non-performing assets 
Sub-standard assets 
Doubtful assets 
Loss assets 
Non-performing assets 
NPAs are loans given by a bank or financial institute where the borrower defaults or 
delays payments of interest or repayment of principal. Asset here also includes a leased 
asset. A NPA was defined a credit facility in respect of which interest and/or installment 
of principal has remained ‘past due’ for a specified period of time. The specified period in 
a phased manner is as under 
Year ending If interest has remained unpaid, account become NPA 
1993 
4 quarters 
1994 
3 quarters 
1995 onward 
2 quarters 
From 2004 
1 quarters 
Performing assets 
Which accounts are not in performing are performing assets. Which accounts are regular 
or cover due installments are less than six is called performing assets.
Classification Of Non-Performing Assets 
After identification of borrowed accounts as NPA the next stage is asset classification 
Standard assets 
Standard Assets is one, which does not disclose any problems and which does not carry 
more than normal risk attached to the business. Such as asset should not be an NPA. 
Sub-standard assets 
In case of sub-standard assets, the current net worth of the borrower/guarantors or the 
current market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues 
to the banks in full. In other words, such assets will have well defined credit weakness 
that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility 
that the banks will sustain some loss, if deficiencies are not corrected. 
An asset where the terms of the loan agreement regarding interest and principal have been 
re-negotiated or rescheduled after commencement of production, should be classified a 
sub standard and should remain in such category for at least 18 months of satisfactory 
performance under the re-negotiated or rescheduled terms. If interest and installment of 
loans have been paid regularly as per the terms of re-scheduled. In other words, the 
classification of an asset should not be upgraded merely as a result of rescheduling, unless 
there is satisfactory compliance of this condition. 
Doubtful assets 
An asset is required to be classified as doubtful, if it has remained in the sub-standard 
category for 12 months. As in the case of sub-standard assets, rescheduling does not 
entitle the bank to upgrade the quality of an advance automatically. 
A loan classified as doubtful thus all the weakness inherent as that classified as sub-standard, 
with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation 
in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable 
and importable. 
Loss assets 
A loss asset is one where loss has been identified by the bank or internal or external 
auditors or by the co-operation department or by the Reserve Bank Of India inspection 
but the amount has not been written off, wholly or partly, in other words, such an asset is
considered un-collectible and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset 
is not warranted although there may be some salvage or recovery value.

Provision against NPA is adequate in RDC BANK, which express the sound condition of 
the bank. The bad and doubtful debt reserve was strengthened and the net NPA levels 
have been brought down to zero.
Findings for NPA 
 Improper selection of borrowers activities 
 Weak appraisal system for credit proposal industries problem/prospects not locked 
into 
 Managerial competence of borrower given less consideration 
 Irregularities in deficiencies in documentation- 
Undated 
Not renewed 
 Assessment of borrower and guarantors net worth on market opinion 
 Lack of review of borrowed accounts 
 Inadequate staff to contact borrowers frequently 
 Lack of proper follow up by banks 
 Failure to take punitive (strict and effective) actions against defaulters 
 Bank’s failure to appreciate the acts of prompt repayers 
 Under financing/non financing in time of projects 
 Mentality and attitude to default willfully 
 Non action/co-operation of government agencies in recovery 
 Effect of agricultural debt relief scheme 
 Inadequate monitoring of court cases and delays in execution 
 Socio-physical pressure by some people/activities 
 Target fulfilling under govt. poverty alleviation programme 
 Lack of income generation due to natural calamities and other uncertainties
(Suggestions) NPA reduction techniques: 
Small NPA loans (loans up to Rs.1 lacs) 
Repaying capacity can be easily gauged 
Mobilizing liquid cash for meeting the debt is not difficult 
Written remedies and repeat personal calls help mostly 
Legal action is time consuming 
Influence of other local persons’ contacts helpful 
NPA-larger than small but medium (above Rs.1 lac and up to 5 lac) 
Branch team can talk to the borrower and work out the repayment programme 
Debts can be settled through Lok Adalat 
Influence of trade professional circles, associates useful 
Medium size NPA (once Rs.5 lacs and up to Rs. 25 lacs) 
SWOT analysis and analysis of security will be helpful 
Branches should take advice of H.O. from time to time 
Whether to have legal action or to go for compromise 
Take legal advice 
Large NPA (over Rs. 25 lacs) 
Calls for intervention not only by head office staff but also specialists and senior 
management 
Legal, technical advice called for 
Support of state govt. and SFC in selling assets 
Threat of winding up action would be useful

Recovery 
Recovery management consist of the functions and activities the bank carries out acquire 
back what the bank has advanced with principal amount as well as interest on the same. 
So it is recovery of what the bank has advanced to loanee for carrying out their purpose/ 
objective of taking a loan. 
PROCESS OF RECOVERY 
If three installments are outstanding, 
Notice through branch office 
Personal visit and meeting 
If no response 
Notice through advocate 
Though no effect 
Claim through court if party ready, of court settlement otherwise 
After completion of formalities 
Bank will get the order of security from court to recover their due.
Observation/finding 
Mission zero NPA 
One historical event that occurred during the last quarter of the year was that all the staff 
members of the banks took upon themselves of their own volition the task of recovery 
and a zero NPA project was launched under the guidance of senior officers of head office 
and the directors of the bank. 
During this year RBI had tightened the NPA norms for default from 180 days to 90 days. 
Despite this tightened norms, the efforts put in by the staff members on their own helped 
the bank effect substantial recoveries of NPAs during the year and also prevent slippage 
towards NPAs. 
One Time Settlement scheme 
One time settlement scheme is the plan of reserve bank of India to clear the balance sheet 
and put realistic position of bank against common public. Before this scheme the amount 
of performing assets was very high in balance sheet of the bank and in real the bank does 
not earn it. To reduce the NPA through recovery of their maximum possible amount 
(principal) and other (interest, penalty interest, charges) write off from the bad debt 
reserve. 
The accounts, which are not getting benefit of one time settlement 
 Cases of willful default, frauds and malfeasance 
 Loan with tie up arrangement for recovery (e.g. loans avail by salary earners) 
 Loans avail of or guaranteed by directors or by close relatives of directors or by 
firms/companies/institutions in which the directors are the interested or by ex-directors 
of respective urban co-operative banks 
 Loans guaranteed by government (including cases where government guarantee 
has been invoked but not honored by the government) 
 Loans due from government departments/undertakings 
 Loans under government directed programmes
LIMITATION OF STUDY 
Though I have selected the biggest co-operative bank for my study and no doubt here I 
have learnt a lot, but compared to nationalize bank, its network is small. The procedure of 
credit appraisal, various interest rates on different schemes, recovery programmes are 
specific to Rajkot Nagarik Sahakari Bank Ltd. 
Also credit management is wide topic; I have tried to cover the most related with it.

    PREFACE Banks areregarded as the blood of the nation’s economy without them one cannot imagine economy moving. Therefore banks should be operated very efficiently, co-operative banks although a small part of whole banking system in India, but they are very important not only from economical point of view but also from social point of view as it is more concerned about common people’s welfare and development. Advance is heart and recovery is oxygen for the bank and for the bank to survive it is necessary to give advances and recover the amount at the appropriate time. Through credit management I have tried to cover the various aspects like credit appraisal, NPA management, recovery management, etc. E.g. credit management covers all the areas right form the beginning like inquiry till the loan has been paid up. Though credit management, a very vast topic, I have tried to incorporate to the best of my capacity from all possible aspects in this project. I do hope that institution will appreciate this project.

    OBJECTIVE OF STUDY Banking is the activity of my interest. I have seen from the annual reports of the various banks and find that most of their income is from the interest getting on the credit given so I choose and hence I studied on credit management. Game of statistics is always attracts me and banking is one the place where we can learn it very well. So I have selected bank and have preferred “credit management” as topic for my project.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Thereare many methods, which are well known today for research methodology, out of which one I have chosen is “sampling method”, which is really easier, still producing accurate results. Sampling in laymen’s language, is nothing but selecting pockets or samples representing the whole group and analysis of these samples gives the idea about the respective groups. On the basis of this, prediction is done and full information about group is integrated. Though this is not a first hand method, it gives sufficiently good outcomes if used carefully by experts. It saves the time and energy. The only care should be taken, in order to have great accuracy, is selection of sample should be such that it should represent the whole group and information we get from them should be cent percent reliable. Salient features of my chosen sample  The biggest co-operative bank having head office in my vicinity enables me to do my work efficiently. This is the striking feature of my sample.  The exclusive schedule bank in Rajkot and hence gets priority over the others.  Generally the new bank lacks the experience so it is mandatory to select a sample, which has enormous experience. RDC BANK has a gigantic experience of successful 50 years, under the lights of which work becomes easier.  The other enchanting point is that RDC Bank have maximum number of shareholder i.e. above 2 lacs.

    EARLY HISTORY OFBANKING As early as 2000 B.C., the Babylonians has developed a banking system. There is evidence to show the temples of Babylon were used as banks. After a period of time, there was a spread of irreligion, which soon destroyed the public sense of security in depositing money and valuable in temples. The priests were longer acting as financial 45 agents. The Romans did minute regulations, as to conduct private banking and to create confidence in it. Loan banks were also common in Rome. From these the poor citizens received loans without paying interest, against security of land for 3 or 4 years. During the early periods, although private individuals mostly did the banking business, many countries established public banks either for the purpose of facilitating commerce or to serve the government. However, upon the revival of civilization, growing necessity forced the issued in the middle of the 12th century and banks were established at Venice and Genoa. The Bank of Venice established in 1157 is supposed to be the most ancient bank. Originally, it was not a bank in the modern sense, during simply an office for the transfer of the public debt. Again the origin of modern banking may be traced to the money dealers in Florence, who received money on deposit, and were lenders of money in the 14th century and also in 1349, the business of banking was carried on by drapers of Barcelona. In India, as early as the Vedic Period, banking, in most crude from existed. The books of Manu contain references regarding deposits, pledges, policy of loans, and rate of interest. True, the banking in those days largely mint money lending and they did not know the complicated mechanism of modern banking. This is true not only in the case of India but also of other countries. Although, the business of banking is as old as authentic history, banking institutions have since than changed in character and content very much. They have developed from a few simple operation involving the satisfaction of a few individual wants to the complicated mechanism of modern banking, involving the satisfaction of capital slowly seeking employment and thus providing the very life blood of commerce.

    MAIN FUND INFLOW(SOURCES OF FUNDS) Owned deposit Deposits Borrowings Others Owned deposit The owned funds consisting of paid capital of the bank, reserve fund, and other reserves. Deposits It is sum of current deposits, fixed deposits, saving deposits, special saving deposits, NRI deposits, inoperative deposits, etc. It is the main Cash Inflow for any institution.

    MAIN FUND OUTFLOW(FUNDS USED) CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) with Reserve Bank of India SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) in Reserve Bank of India approved securities Loanable Fund Others CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) with Reserve Bank Of India The capacity of credits creation of bank is depending upon their cash flow received. To restrict this credit creation, the reserve bank of India has directed their terms. In case of scheduled banks and sec.18 of banking regulation act are required to maintain the cash reserve ratio *@ 4.75% and non-scheduled bank @ 3% of their demand and time liability amounts separately. The scheduled banks are required to deposit the cash reserve ratio amount with Reserve Bank of India while the non-scheduled banks are required to maintain separate account for this. The Reserve Bank of India is also empowered to raise the cash reserve ratio up to 15% only in respect of scheduled banks. It is maintained reported to RBI every fortnight. *30th April RBI declared new credit policy and as per that RBI reduced CRR with 0.25% Demand and time liability: Time liability is related with time like, fixed deposits Demand liability is related with the demand like, Current deposits, inoperative deposit, and matured fixed deposits SLR (Statutory Liquidity Ratio) The cash flow for regular banking transactions mainly depends upon deposit received in the bank. The reserve bank of India therefore puts some restrictions on utilization of these amounts. The scheduled and non-scheduled banks are required to deposit 25% amount of their demand and time liability amount in the security approved by reserve bank of India. These securities are converted into cash and therefore they are termed as ‘liquid assets’ and 25% amount termed as ‘liquid ratio’. The reserve bank of India is empowered to raise this liquidity ratio from 25% to 40%. It is maintained average fortnight and reported to RBI. Loanable Fund
  • 22.
    Credit deposit ratiois not more than 70%. Loanable funds means amount of money, which is applicable for lending. Three main factors own fund, deposits, and borrowings decide it. Advances can never be more than loanable fund. Loanable fund is a total of:  75% of own funds  70% of deposits  100% of borrowings Others Purchase of fixed assets, purchase of marketable securities, addition to advances, addition to inventories, payment to creditors, payment of dividend, etc..

    Meaning of CREDIT The word ‘credit’ is actually derived from the Latin word ‘Credere’. ‘Credere’ means to have trust or faith. Thus ‘credit’ is directly related with trust. That is why State Ford stated that ‘Credit is nothing more than that of trust’. By this we can say that credit is a tool that is resulted by the complete mutual trust/faith. ‘Credit creation implies a situation when a bank may receive interest simply by permitting customer to overdraw their accounts or by purchasing securities and paying for them its own cheque or bank may pay amount to borrower or directly to seller of goods whom against borrower get amount’. CREDIT MANAGEMENT Credit management means the total process of lending start from inquiry from potential borrower to recover the lending amount from borrower. Whenever my study is concern, credit management in sense of banking sector is the set of activities like accept application, loan appraisal, Shakh posting, monitoring, recovery, NPA management, etc.

    FORMS OF CREDIT/ADVANCES Loan (term loan) Cash credit and overdrafts Purchase /discounting of bills Bank guarantee ANY OTHER GIVEN Loan/term loan In case of a loan a specified amount is sanctioned by the banker to the customer, who may either draw the amount in case immediately or may like the amount to be credited to his current account. But legally it is presumed that he has withdrawn the amount from the bank and deposited it in his current account. He is required to pay interest on the full amount from the date of sanction. A loan may be repayable in installments or in lump sum. Cash credit Cash credit is the main method of lending in India and accounts for above 70% of total bank credit. Under the system, the banker specifies the limit, called the cash credit limit for each customer, up to which the customer is permitted to borrower against the security of tangible assets or guarantees. The customer withdraws from his cash credit account as and when requires the funds and deposits any amount of money, which he finds surplus with him on any day. The cash credit amount is thus an active and running account to which deposits and withdrawals may be affected frequently. The customer is required to provide tangible assets as security to cover the amount borrowed from the banker. The borrower is charged interest on the actual amount utilized by borrower and for the period actually utilized only. Overdrafts When a current amount holder is permitted by the banker to draw more than what stands to his credit, such an advance is called an overdraft. The banker may take some collateral security or may grant such advance on the personal security of the borrower. The customer is permitted to withdraw the amount as and when he needs it and to repay it by
  • 25.
    means of depositin his account as and when it is feasible for him. Interest is charged on the exact amount overdrawn by the customer and for the period of its actual utilization Bills Purchase The Banker credits customer’s account with the amount of the bill after deduction his charges. As the demand bills are repayable on demand and there is no maturity, the banker is entitled to demand their payment immediately on presentation before of drawee. Their practice adopted in the case of demand bills, is known as purchase of the bills. Bills Discount In case of bills discounting, a bank credits the amount of the bill to the drawer’s account before the realization of the bill and thus lends its funds to him after deduction his charges. The bills purchased and bills discounted by a bank are, therefore, shown in its balance sheet as part of loans and advances. In case of a bill maturing after a period of time maximum for 180 days in RDC BANK, the banker retains the bill for that period and realizes the amount of bill from the drawee on its due date. This practice is called discounting of the bill. Bank Guarantee It is a contract to perform the promise or discharge the liability of a third person in case of his default. In case of guarantee, Bank is taking responsibility to pay the amount to seller if buyer will not pay amount in time.

  • 29.
    Before presenting appraisalreport against the committee, bank sends his field officer/inspection officer to on site inspection. The situation which created by borrower by providing information of his business to bank is it fact or not? After the inspection report, this application is ready for putting against the loan committee of the bank. Inspection varies according to the various loans. For e.g. In case of cash credit he personally visits the business site and verifies the original books of accounts with that of submitted books of accounts. He verifies the real stock with the stock mentioned if any difference is found it is clearly mentioned in the report. In case of housing loan inspection officer visits the place and check whether the building is really in existence or not, whether the construction is as per the statical figure provided to him and plan is as per sanctioned by the municipal corporation.

    Scrutiny of credit While scrutinizing, an application from the bank takes into consideration--safety, liquidity, purpose profitability, security, and spread of advances. ANY OTHER THAN THIS? Safety Bank has to see that the prospective borrower is a reliable user of the finance and bank’s money is safe in his hands. Liquidity Bank has to find out that the borrower is quite capable in repaying the finance within reasonable period. Purpose The purpose for the finance should not be illegal. It should be creative, service oriented, development oriented, and like. Banks should check end use of funds. Profitability If the project or the purpose of the finance is not profitable in the hands of the borrower than he will not be in a position of repaying the amount to bank. It should be profitable enough to generate the income to satisfy his needs and bank’s dues. Security The bank has to take into consideration the character, capacity, and capital of the prospective borrower. Bigger advances and cash credit are to be secured with collateral security over and above prime security. Spread of advances For having balanced economy the bank should choose to spread the finance amongst various sectors of the society, so that the risk of incoming bad advances is minimized. Concentration on one type of advances may turn into bad advances if the scheme becomes ineffective due to some natural calamities or government rules or change in taste or demands of the society, by and large.

    Data analysis andobservation and suggestions Presence of loan policy In the RSNB, before two year there was not proper policy for loan, but separate circular for each loan. But at present RSNB have its own loan policy and criteria to sensor the loan. Coincidently, RBI also declared in near, each and every bank should have its own loan policy. This is the point, which is striking us the foresightedness of the bank management and also loan manager of that time Mr. Bhatt who prepare present loan policy with the help of the some efficient staff members of the loan department. Revision made on annual basis RSNB prepare its own loan policy just before two year. So in one sense, we can say RSNB revised its loan policy in last two year but it is not revised every year regularly. So I can suggest that to RSNB, for walk with the new era of credit market, bank should try to improve own self in the field of credit management by revising the loan policy time to time by learn from past year’s experience. Loan policy cover Delegation of lending power Method for assessment of working capital Rating of borrowers Loan pricing Delegation of lending power In the past time, RSNB had given delegation of lending power to its selected branch offices but at present RBI hurdle against this. By effect of it, RSNB cancel all the delegation power of its branch offices and burden of the head office gives in written in language of suggestion that what should be the decision? And head office only completely fulfils the legal formality to sanction the loan. However it takes more time for sanctioning loan but by the practical approach bank can solve this difficulty. Method of assessment of working capital In the RSNB, there are three methods for working capital, which is useful to bank for calculating the need of cash credit or short-term loan of firm. This method gives

Methods of working capital calculation are given below: Capital of borrower, and borrowing from relatives are multiplied by three Difference between current assets and current liabilities multiply by four 20 % of estimated sales Borrower contribution 5% of the turnover in working capital is accepted Above three whichever is less is original working capital demand of the borrower as per the calculation of RSNB. Rating of borrowers RSNB has its own method of credit rating that is beneficial for both the bank and the borrower. Because through this bank should maintain their customer who deal with bank regularly and the borrower is appreciated for their performance. Another side borrower gets benefit through interest rate reduction. This method is given below: Credit rating of loans AAA: Cash credit account In the account, interest is paid regularly; it is paid at the end of every quarter within 10 days. Stock statement is received regularly. Overdraft is paid regularly with its interest. Every document is getting regularly for review and renew of account. Term loans In the account, interest and installments are paid regularly. Notice is not given on account for any reason.

So loan rate of RSNB is higher. Though RSNB get customer because of its services, its speedy process, practical approach, and its reliability in market. But here one possibility is also that the payer of higher interest is sometime reason for future loss or burden on bank. So try to get deposit at lower rate to reduce the loan pricing. It is also fact that in this critical situation of co-operative banks, it is very hard to get deposits from the market but if bank management tries to create trust in public, here one more benefit is that the depositor and the borrower is the shareholder of

    the bank orsay owner of the bank. So it is less hard than other types of bank to create trust. Reporting format Reporting format for excess utilization of lending process by branch manager is now not needed, because as per the new guidelines of the RBI, branch of co-operative bank has no power to sanction loan. Identification of sensitive sectors and discounting further lending RSNB is not that much big bank in compare of commercial bank, though it is needed for the bank to watch on the general sensitive sectors means lending in that sector which is risky / dangerous for any financial institutions. For example lending against shares. To find out the special sensitive sector, we should continuously watch on our borrowers. Sometimes in case of co-operative banks, reason of their NPA is lending to particular group or industry. RSNB also keep watch and discouraging further lending. For example builders developers’ cash credit. Monitoring of unduly large exposure to an individual or a group To stop the unduly large exposure to an individual or a group, in RSNB loan staff monitor and draw attention of higher authority.

    OBSERVATION AND FINDINGSAND SUGGESTIONS Format for collection of minimum information about potential borrower It is must for any bank who wants to win market to collect the information about his potential customer. RSNB a bank which eager to increase own market share also collect the information about future borrower. Use of software for credit appraisal Bank has own computer department to develop the software for bank but this is in the initial stage. Majority time consume work is done by the computer though appraisal of credit is done by manually. Revision in appraisal format during last two year RSNB prepared its policy before two year and decide proper criteria for sanction the loan. Different appraisal format for different loan segment There is one common format for all loans are not possible because each loan require particular information and calculation. Here in RSNB I find different appraisal format for different segments. That we see in above appraisal format. System of fixation of maximum time for loan sanction and sanction within limit On paper, there is no maximum limit for sanction the loan but generally as per the opinion of officer within ten days loan is sanctioned. Sometimes because of carelessness of the borrower or take time for providing needed documents is reason for delay of sanction the loan. In house expertise for appraisal of hi tech projects Special works always need experts but in RDC BANK we find lack of the expert for appraisal of hi tech project and it is dangerous pr say risky for any institution. I think RDC BANK have to recruit expert for appraisal of hi tech projects who has special knowledge about business sector and mastery of project report study and now because of VRS, expert having experience is easily available at low cost.

    Practice of ratingof borrower and loan pricing RDC BANK give rating to the borrower on the base of their last year dealing with bank. For that RDC BANK have software, which give rating to the borrower. At the time of appraisal, rating is not given. Compliance of terms and conditions- Promoter’s contribution, collateral securities,etc. Before preparing the loan report, it is keeping in view that all types of requirement are fulfilled. Condition letter is given to customer if customer fulfills all the conditions loan is sanctioned by bank. Computation of customer profitability per borrower Generally I practice, not a single cooperative bank in Rajkot is calculating the customer profitability per borrower. If it is calculated, bank can know which customers are more beneficial for them so bank can give attention to maintain them and can increase profit. Ad – hoc sanction rarely done At present, the various committee of bank considers ad-hoc/additional credit for meeting temporary requirement only after the borrower has fully utilized/exhausted the existing limit. In the ad-hoc sanction, nothing is taken as security so this is risky but the previous dealing of customer with the bank can give the picture of customer. Sanction of loan In the co-operative bank, sanctioning powers are only in the hands of board of directors so sometime loans are sanctioned on the bases of relation, not on the base of the deservedness of customer. I also consider that the cooperative banks are basically meant for the benefit of its members but within the limits of Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines. Slight modification in these rules for well being of members is still allowed.

    CREDIT MONITORING, FOLLOWUP AND REVIEW When we lend, it is essential for us that to keep watch on it till we recover it. This is called credit monitoring in terms of banking. CREDIT MONITORING SYSTEM IN RSNB In the RDC BANK, there is system for credit monitoring specially account, which is above 10,00,000 rupees is described below: Find out the list of potential NPA accounts above 10,00,000 rupees Statements of potential NPA accounts are submitted to head office from branches Head office monitoring this every three months and prepare report on it. Report is submitted to board of directors. Follow up action for credit monitoring in RDC BANK Consolidation of data, which comes from the branches and every month, update the data and generate this and use it for follow up Head office directly sends the notice to account holders of such accounts To stop the slippage of the potential NPA accounts, bank organize the committee under authorization of Mr. Bhatt(A.G.M.) and Mr. Vadaliya(A.D.M.) with the help every branch recovery officers, they try to recover. General manager arranges the meeting for that and gives guidelines to the committee member.

    OBSERVATION FINDINGS ANDSUGGESTIONS System of loan portfolio review and monitoring There is system of weekly review and monitoring of loan portfolio in the RDC BANK, every week a statement is prepare to be acquainted with the present credit deposit ratio, if this ratio is less than 70% for example 65%, it represent that bank can finance up to 5 % at present. Preparation of MIS report for loan portfolio review at board level Every week, present situation of loan portfolio is putting against board of directors. Compliance of prudential guidelines Exposure Ceiling : a) Individual 20% of the total capital fund : b) Group 50% of the total capital fund Priority sector lending: Priority 60% of the total advances : Weaker 15% of the total advances This is followed by the RDC BANK Items of priority sectors Advances to individuals for activities allied to agriculture Loans and advances to cottage/small scale industries and equipment /system for development of new and renewable sources of energy.

    How account becomesNon Performing Assets? Term loans If interest or installment of principal remains past due for a period of any two quarters it becomes NPA. Past due means is an amount due under any of the facility but not paid within 30 days after it becomes due. Cash credit and overdrafts If the account remains out of order for a period of any two quarters, it becomes NPA. Out of order means If the out-standing balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit/drawing power There is no credit continuously for six months or Credit is not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period Bills purchase and discounting If the bills remains over due and unpaid for the period of two quarters during the year it becomes NPA. Other credit facility If any amount to be received remains past due for a period of two quarters during the year, it becomes NPA.

    Asset classification Theprimary (urban) co-operative banks should classify their assets into the following broad groups, viz. Performing assets Standard assets Non-performing assets Sub-standard assets Doubtful assets Loss assets Non-performing assets NPAs are loans given by a bank or financial institute where the borrower defaults or delays payments of interest or repayment of principal. Asset here also includes a leased asset. A NPA was defined a credit facility in respect of which interest and/or installment of principal has remained ‘past due’ for a specified period of time. The specified period in a phased manner is as under Year ending If interest has remained unpaid, account become NPA 1993 4 quarters 1994 3 quarters 1995 onward 2 quarters From 2004 1 quarters Performing assets Which accounts are not in performing are performing assets. Which accounts are regular or cover due installments are less than six is called performing assets.
  • 77.
    Classification Of Non-PerformingAssets After identification of borrowed accounts as NPA the next stage is asset classification Standard assets Standard Assets is one, which does not disclose any problems and which does not carry more than normal risk attached to the business. Such as asset should not be an NPA. Sub-standard assets In case of sub-standard assets, the current net worth of the borrower/guarantors or the current market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues to the banks in full. In other words, such assets will have well defined credit weakness that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the banks will sustain some loss, if deficiencies are not corrected. An asset where the terms of the loan agreement regarding interest and principal have been re-negotiated or rescheduled after commencement of production, should be classified a sub standard and should remain in such category for at least 18 months of satisfactory performance under the re-negotiated or rescheduled terms. If interest and installment of loans have been paid regularly as per the terms of re-scheduled. In other words, the classification of an asset should not be upgraded merely as a result of rescheduling, unless there is satisfactory compliance of this condition. Doubtful assets An asset is required to be classified as doubtful, if it has remained in the sub-standard category for 12 months. As in the case of sub-standard assets, rescheduling does not entitle the bank to upgrade the quality of an advance automatically. A loan classified as doubtful thus all the weakness inherent as that classified as sub-standard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and importable. Loss assets A loss asset is one where loss has been identified by the bank or internal or external auditors or by the co-operation department or by the Reserve Bank Of India inspection but the amount has not been written off, wholly or partly, in other words, such an asset is

    (Suggestions) NPA reductiontechniques: Small NPA loans (loans up to Rs.1 lacs) Repaying capacity can be easily gauged Mobilizing liquid cash for meeting the debt is not difficult Written remedies and repeat personal calls help mostly Legal action is time consuming Influence of other local persons’ contacts helpful NPA-larger than small but medium (above Rs.1 lac and up to 5 lac) Branch team can talk to the borrower and work out the repayment programme Debts can be settled through Lok Adalat Influence of trade professional circles, associates useful Medium size NPA (once Rs.5 lacs and up to Rs. 25 lacs) SWOT analysis and analysis of security will be helpful Branches should take advice of H.O. from time to time Whether to have legal action or to go for compromise Take legal advice Large NPA (over Rs. 25 lacs) Calls for intervention not only by head office staff but also specialists and senior management Legal, technical advice called for Support of state govt. and SFC in selling assets Threat of winding up action would be useful

    Recovery Recovery managementconsist of the functions and activities the bank carries out acquire back what the bank has advanced with principal amount as well as interest on the same. So it is recovery of what the bank has advanced to loanee for carrying out their purpose/ objective of taking a loan. PROCESS OF RECOVERY If three installments are outstanding, Notice through branch office Personal visit and meeting If no response Notice through advocate Though no effect Claim through court if party ready, of court settlement otherwise After completion of formalities Bank will get the order of security from court to recover their due.

    Observation/finding Mission zeroNPA One historical event that occurred during the last quarter of the year was that all the staff members of the banks took upon themselves of their own volition the task of recovery and a zero NPA project was launched under the guidance of senior officers of head office and the directors of the bank. During this year RBI had tightened the NPA norms for default from 180 days to 90 days. Despite this tightened norms, the efforts put in by the staff members on their own helped the bank effect substantial recoveries of NPAs during the year and also prevent slippage towards NPAs. One Time Settlement scheme One time settlement scheme is the plan of reserve bank of India to clear the balance sheet and put realistic position of bank against common public. Before this scheme the amount of performing assets was very high in balance sheet of the bank and in real the bank does not earn it. To reduce the NPA through recovery of their maximum possible amount (principal) and other (interest, penalty interest, charges) write off from the bad debt reserve. The accounts, which are not getting benefit of one time settlement  Cases of willful default, frauds and malfeasance  Loan with tie up arrangement for recovery (e.g. loans avail by salary earners)  Loans avail of or guaranteed by directors or by close relatives of directors or by firms/companies/institutions in which the directors are the interested or by ex-directors of respective urban co-operative banks  Loans guaranteed by government (including cases where government guarantee has been invoked but not honored by the government)  Loans due from government departments/undertakings  Loans under government directed programmes

    LIMITATION OF STUDY Though I have selected the biggest co-operative bank for my study and no doubt here I have learnt a lot, but compared to nationalize bank, its network is small. The procedure of credit appraisal, various interest rates on different schemes, recovery programmes are specific to Rajkot Nagarik Sahakari Bank Ltd. Also credit management is wide topic; I have tried to cover the most related with it.
