example) securitisation is an
alternative to corporate debt for
meeting its funds requirements. As

better credit rating than the company.

8. The originator can get funds from new
investors and additional funds from
existing investors at a lower cost than

16. Pass Through Certificate (PTC)
A document that allows the holder to
receive payments of principal and
interest from the underlying pool of
mortgages. PTC are issued by banks as
a safeguard against risks.

17. In simple manner the banks, through
PTCs, transfer some of their long term
mortgaged assets (receivables) on to
other investor like NBFCs and Mutual
Funds.

18. Why do they do this?
They do this because they want to
share some of their risks with other
players. Investor get interested
because they stand to earn more for
sharing the risk.

19. The transfer is done by meant of a
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) which
mediates between the investor and
borrower. The PTC ensures that the
loan repayment is made to the
investor instead of the bank.

the investor instead of the bank. What
happens when the borrower starts to
default. If the borrower starts
defaulting, the SPV sells off the
mortgaged asset & recovers the
money
