    SUBSTANTIAL EXPOSURES: Substantial exposure norms are in-house norms set within the prudential norms and are intended to help in monitoring credit concentration. These norms should not be deemed as a cap on further exposures and should not come in the way of booking bankable business. The substantial exposure norms should be indicated in the loan proposals and the Sanctioning Authority will have the necessary discretion to note the deviation in this regard based on the justification placed before it. Single Borrower: in excess of 7.5 % of banks capital funds (Tier I & II) Group Borrower: in excess of 15 % of banks capital funds (Tier I & II) Aggregate substantial exposure to individual borrowers should not exceed 300 %

(Where the realizable value of the security (Primary & Collateral-tangible), as assessed by the Bank/approved valuer/Reserve Bank Inspecting Official is ab-initio not more than 10% of the outstanding exposure. The exposure to sensitive commodities listed by RBI will be restricted to 5% of the Banks net-worth as at the end of the previous year.

  • Loans sanctioned to Corporate against the security of shares for meeting promoters contribution to the equity of new companies in anticipation of raising resources, should be treated as banks investment in shares which would come under the ceiling of 40 % of Banks net worth as on March 31st of the previous year prescribed for the banks total exposure including both fund based and non-fund based to capital market in all forms. INDUSTRY-WISE EXPOSURE LEVELS: The Bank shall generally endeavour to restrict fund based exposure to a particular industry to a maximum of 15% of the Bank's total fund and nonfund based exposure. Within this ceiling of a maximum of 15% of the Bank's total fund and non-fund based exposure, the actual exposure level fixed for any specific industry, is based on the near term outlook for that industry. These industry-specific caps are reviewed periodically by Integrated Risk Management Department taking into account significant changes observed in the industry profile. The Industry wise caps are as under: INDUSTRYWISE EXPOSURE CEILING Iron & Steel 12.50% Engineering 10.00% Textiles 10.00% Vegetable Oil & Vanaspathi 5.00% Fertilizers 5.00% Drug & Pharmaceuticals 10.00% Gems & Jewellery 5.00% Construction 12.00% Petroleum 5.00% Infrastructure : 20.00% Comprising of a.Power, b.Educational Institution; c.

Statutory limit on shareholding in companies: In terms of Sec.19 (2) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, no banking company shall hold shares in any company, whether as pledgee, mortgagee or absolute owner, of an

  • amount exceeding 30% of the paid-up-share capital of that company or 30% of its (Bank's) own paid up share capital and reserves, whichever is less. BASEL I /II / III BASEL ACCORD 1988 The BASEL-I accord implemented by all the member countries by 1992, focused on Credit Risks & market risks. Identifying the asset category and recognizing Income measured the Credit Risks. Provisioning for non-performing assets is a hedging measure to absolve the losses arising on account of the credit risk factors. Similarly, assessing the Banks ability to absolve the market risk is measured through Capital Adequacy to Risk weighted Assets. RBI fixed the minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratio at 9%, very conservatively over and above the BASEL requirements of Capital Adequacy Ratio at 8%. The capital adequacy is to withstand the market Risks. The primary accord of BASEL-1 was mainly focusing on the credit Risk as it emphasized on the Capital adequacy Ratio and Income Recognition & Provisioning. The market Risk and the operational Risk were not under focus and it was presumed to the part of Banking business to check these risks on concurrent basis. However, due to certain important factors and events in the international financial market on account of Globalisation and liberalization amongst the member countries of the WTO, few of which are: Volatility of financial markets Evolution of Technology & Dependence of Banks on the Technology Growth of International Financial Transactions Significant degree of financial innovation Financial crisis in Asia & East Europe Risks for international active banks have become complex Fear that Capital requirements did not match a banks true risk profile,

    The BASEL committee, in partial amendment to BASEL-I has advised its member-Central Banks of different countries to focus on the Market Risk. In pursuance to the BASEL Committee Recommendations the Reserve Bank of India implemented a Risk coverage tool for the Banks to hedge and check the market risks. The tool was simple and a broad brush common for all the Banks. The Regulatory Capital adequacy Ratio in increased from then existing 8 % to 9% (1% being the load for market Risk)

  • BASEL II Full Title of Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurement and

    CapitalStandards: A Revised Framework released by BCBS on 26 June 2004. As per mandate of RBI all Scheduled Commercial Banks in India(except RRBs)

    are required to implement the revised framework w.e.f 31/3/2008. European version of Basel II is called Capital Requirements Directive (CRD)

    Regulatory & Economic Capital Requirement To bring a banks regulatory capital (Minimum CAR) in line with its economic

    capital o (Prudential CAR)

    Economic capital is the minimum capital required to ensure that the Bank remains solvent when faced with large unexpected losses.

    The 3 Pillars of Basle II

    Pillar 1: Specifies the minimum capital level that a bank needs to hold to cover its exposure to credit, market and operational risk

    Pillar 2: Concerned with supervisory review that aims to ensure that a banks overall capital level is sufficient to cover all its risks

    Pillar 3 : Details the guidelines for disclosure of information on a banks risk profile and capital to the outside world

    The 3 pillars are mutually reinforcing BASEL-III Basel-III is a set of standards and practices developed for internationally active banks to ensure that they maintain adequate capital to sustain themselves during periods of economic crisis. Objectives: To strengthen the regulations regarding capital base and liquidity of Banks with

    the goal of promoting a more re silent banking sector. To improve the Banking sectors ability to absorb shocks arising from financial

    and economic stress. New capital requirements - Capital ratios and deductions: CoreTier-1: common equity The Basel 2 rules require that a bank hold 2% of Core Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets. Core Tier 1 consists of ordinary shares, retained earnings and profits.

  • The Basel 3 rules replace the concept with 'common equity'. This basically consists of common shares plus retained income. The rules require banks to hold 4.5% of common equity. Total Tier-1: The total Tier 1 requirement increases from 4% to 6% under Basel 3, which mean that other types of Tier 1 instrument, known as additional going concern capital, can account for up to 1.5% of Tier 1 capital. Total Capital: The total minimum capital requirement remains at 8%, subject to a new capital buffer. However, 6% of capital must be Tier 1, which means that Tier 2 can account for not more than 2% of capital. Tier 3, which is used solely for market risk purposes, will be removed completely. Liquidity rules: The new liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio will be introduced in accordance with the timing detailed below. Common equity, Tier 1, total capital and national implementation: The new capital ratios will be phased in. National implementation must begin on January 1 2013, by which date banks should have 3.5% common equity, 4.5% Tier 1 capital and 8% total capital. In 2014 this increases to 4% common equity and 5.5% Tier 1 capital. The full ratios (ie, 4.5% common equity and 6% Tier 1 capital) apply from January 2015. Leverage ratio: The 3% ratio requirement will run parallel from January 1 2013 to 2017. The committee will track the ratio, its component factors and impact over this period and will require bank-level disclosure of the ratio and its factors from January 1 2015. Based on the results of the parallel run, final adjustments to the ratio will made in the first half of 2017 and it will be fully effective from 1st January, 2018. Liquidity ratios: The liquidity coverage ratio will be introduced on January 1 2015. The net stable funding ratio will apply as a minimum standard from 1st January, 2018. On paper, Basel 3 will triple the quantum of capital banks will need to maintain. But whether it will risk-proof the banking sector is doubtful. To be sure, Basel III is an improvement over Basel II, just as Basel II was an improvement over Basel Is rough and ready thumb-rule of 8% capital adequacy. But the problem, as the crisis has shown us, was not with the rules per se. The cutthroat competition among banks means it will always be profitable to game the system. In such a scenario, the best of rules is of no use unless such rule-based regulation is supplemented by proactive and competent supervision. Capital required at every branch, for its fund and non-fund exposures, is calculated through the Centralised Capital Calculator(C-cube) software, provided by the IRM department. The report is known as CAR(Capital Adequacy Ratio) Return under Basel II

  • & Basel III, which is also known as AR 6. The report for every month is generated on completion of C-cube processing by the branches and is available under Reports in Ccube link. The backup register for the report also available as sub-bucket wise report in the reports menu. The system computes and generates the Risk Weighted Asset value (RWA) and the capital required for the same, based on the data available in CBS. This includes master data created by the branches, while opening the loan accounts and variable data such as Drawing Power, Security details & value External ratings, Govt (Soverign) guarantees (CGTMSE/ECGC) available etc. The same is consolidated at Head Office along with Market & Operational Risk and disclosed quarterly, through Banks website and press reports after Central Audit. Hence it is important for branches to ensure that the data in CBS is fully accurate & will there by yield correct capital calculation and avoiding capital leakage for the Bank. .How is the capital calculated?

    It is simply 9% of the Risk weighted Assets (11.50% from Mar 2019). How are the risk weighted assets (RWAS) calculated?

    RWAs=Net exposures (after Haircut)(column 9 in CAR report) * RW% What is net exposure?

    Net exposure for Standard asset = Suppose loan outstanding Rs.55000 backed by TDR of Rs.10000. Net exposure is Rs.45000. Net exposure for NPA asset = Suppose loan outstanding Rs.55000 and Provisions held is Rs.10000. Net exposure is Rs.45000. What is Risk Weight?

    The risk inbuilt in any lending is known as the risk weight and is denominated by % (of the exposure). For example a risk in personal loan is 125%, Gold loan under Per-125 % & under AGR-75% etc. What is Haircut?

    The possible decline in value of a Basel security that may occur due to market conditions. For example Gold, Debt securities etc.

  • What is Basel security?

    These are certain identified that help to reduce the RWA of the exposure to the extent of either the full value of the security (i.e without haircut) or the value computed, applying some prescribed haircur. These securities are Liquid in nature and enforceable with ease. These include Banks TDRs, Paper based securities like NSCs, KVPs, LIC Policies assigned to the Bank, Gold ornaments and Debt Securities. Haircut is not applicable to TDRs, NSCs, KVPs & LIC Policies. The haircut for gold is 15%.The haircuts on Govt securities & debt securities depend on the Issue rating for the security and the residual maturity period. As Govt securities are not currently rated in India, the haircut is dependent on residual maturity period Capital Adequacy Report contains two parts A & B Part A deals with Fund based loans & advances and Part B deals with contingent liabilities (non-fund based) Fund based loans and advances : It is generally known that Banks lending is divided into PER, AGR, MSME & C & I. But for Capital Adequacy calculation segments have no relevance. Loans and advances are divided into various categories as per the inbuilt risk and each category is assigned with a field known as B U C K E T. RBI & SBH Approved External Credit Rating Agencies: 1. CRISIL 4. SMERA 2. ICRA 5. INDIA RATINGS (FITCH) 3. CARE 6. BRICKWORK Branches should not consider the ratings by any other ECRAs, other than the approved agencies. . PART B: Contingent Liabilities : As the exposure itself is contingent, CCF(credit conversion factor) is applied before the Risk weight% is applied, What is Credit Conversion Factor (CCF)?

    It is the probability percentage of non fund exposure likely to become funded exposures in a large portfolio of non-fund exposures. The CCFs vary from facility to facility and are prescribed by RBI in their Capital Adequacy guidelines.

    HOME LOANS-LEVY OF FORE-CLOSURE CHARGES

    The Committee on Customer Service in Banks headed by the Chairman Sh. M. Damodaran had observed that foreclosure charges levied by banks on prepayment of home loans are resented upon by home loan borrowers across the board especially since banks were found to be hesitant in passing on the benefits of lower interest rates to the existing borrowers in a falling interest rate scenario.

    The RBI has therefore, decided that banks will not be permitted to charge foreclosure charges/pre-payment penalties on home loans on floating interest rate basis, with immediate effect.
