CHAPTER -1 INTRODUCTION TO BANKING INDUSTRY

BANK OF BARODA Page 1

BANKS India cannot have a healthy economy without a sound and effective banking system. The banking system should be hassle free and able to meet the new challenges posed by technology and other factors, both internal and external. In the past three decades, India's banking system has earned several outstanding achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer confined to metropolises or cities in India. In fact, Indian banking system has reached even to the remote corners of the country. This is one of the main aspects of India's growth story. The government's regulation policy for banks has paid rich dividends with the nationalization of 14 major private banks in 1969. Banking today has become convenient and instant, with the account holder not having to wait for hours at the bank counter for getting a draft or for withdrawing money from his account. History of Banking in India The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From 1786 till today, the journey of Indian Banking System can be segregated into three distinct phases: Early phase of Indian banks, from 1786 to 1969 Nationalization of banks and the banking sector reforms, from 1969 to 1991

New phase of Indian banking system, with the reforms after 1991

BANK OF BARODA Page 2

Phase i The first bank in India, the General Bank of India, was set up in 1786 Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank followed. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay (1840), and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called them Presidency banks Allahabad Bank was established, exclusively by Indians, in 1865. Punjab National Bank was set up in 1894 with headquarters in Lahore. Between 1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. The Reserve Bank of India came in 1935. Phase 2 The government took major initiatives in banking sector reforms after Independence. In 1955, it nationalized the Imperial Bank of India and started offering extensive banking facilities, especially in rural and semiurban areas. The government constituted the State Bank of India to act as the principal agent of the RBI and to handle banking transactions of the Union government and state governments all over the country. Seven banks owned by the Princely states were nationalized in 1959 and they became subsidiaries of the State Bank of India. In 1969, 14 commercial banks in the country were nationalized. In the second phase of banking sector reforms, seven more banks were nationalized in 1980. With this, 80 percent of the banking sector in India came under the government ownership.

BANK OF BARODA Page 3

Phase 3 This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector as part of the reforms process. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up, which worked for the liberalization of banking practices. Now, the country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking are introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given importance in all money transactions.

Functions of the Reserve Bank of India The Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934 entrusts all the important functions of a central bank with the Reserve Bank of India. Bank of Issue: Under Section 22 of the Act, the Bank has the sole right to issue currency notes of all denominations. The distribution of one-rupee notes and coins and small coins all over the country is undertaken by the Reserve Bank as an agent of the government. Banker to the Government: The second important function of the RBI is to act as the governments banker, agent, and adviser. Bankers' Bank and Lender of the Last Resort: The RBI acts as the bankers' bank. Since commercial banks can always expect the RBI to come to their help in times of banking crisis, the RBI becomes not only the banker's bank but also the lender of the last resort. Controller of Credit: The RBI is the controller of credit, i.e., it has the power to influence the volume of credit created by banks in India. It can do so through changing the Bank rate or through open market operations. Custodian of Foreign Reserves: The RBI has the responsibility to maintain the official rate of exchange. Besides maintaining the rate of exchange of the rupee, the RBI has to act as the custodian of India's reserve of international currencies. Supervisory Functions: In addition to its traditional central banking functions, the RBI has certain non-monetary functions of the nature of supervision of banks and promotion of sound banking in India. The
BANK OF BARODA Page 6

Reserve Bank Act, 1934, and the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, have given the RBI wide powers of supervision and control over commercial and co-operative banks, relating to licensing and establishments, branch expansion, liquidity of their assets, management and methods of working, amalgamation, reconstruction, and liquidation.

Banking Activities Retail banking, dealing directly with individuals and small businesses Business banking, providing services to mid-market businesses

CHAPTER-7

NON PERFORMING ASSETS

BANK OF BARODA Page 45

INTRODUCTION TO NON-PERFORMING ASSETS (NPA) NPA is a classification used by financial institutions that refer to loans that are in risk of default. Once the borrower has failed to make interest or principal payments for 90 days the loan is considered to be a non-performing asset. Non-performing assets are problematic for financial institutions since they depend on interest payments for income. With a view to moving towards international best practices and to ensure greater transparency, it has been decided to adopt the 90 days overdue norm for identification of NPA, from the year ending March 31, 2004. Factors contributing to NPAs: According to a recent study conducted by the RBI, the underlying reasons for NPAs in India can be classified into two heads, namely:

BANK OF BARODA Page 46

1. Internal Factors 2. External Factors

Internal Factors: Diversion of funds for expansion/diversification/modernisation or for taking up new projects Diversion of funds for assisting or promoting associate concerns Time or cost overrun during the project implementation stage Business failures due to product failure, failure in marketing, etc Inefficiency in management External Factors: a. Recession in the economy as a whole b. Input or power shortage c. Price escalation of inputs d. Exchange rate fluctuation
BANK OF BARODA Page 47

e. Accidents & natural calamities f. Changes in government policies relating to excise & import duties, pollution control orders, etc g. Government loan waiver scheme h. Poor monitoring of credits & the failure to recognise early warning signals shown by standard assets i. Promoters over-optimism in setting up large projects j. Sudden crashing of capital markets & the failure to raise adequate funds k. Granting of loans to certain sectors on the basis of the Governments directives rather than commercial imperatives l. Mismatch of funding i.e. using loans granted for short term for long term transactions m. High leveraging & high cost of borrowing n. Commitment of wilful defaults sensing that the legal recourse available to collect debts is very slow

Early Warning Signals The Early Warning Signals (EWS) are those that clearly indicate or show some signs of credit deterioration in the loan account. They indicate the potential problems involved in the accounts so that remedial action can be initiated immediately.

APPLICATION OF NPA NORMS FOR DIFFERENT KIND OF ACCOUNTS EFFECTIVE FROM 31ST MARCH, 2004

TERM LOANS If a customer wants to buy a house or a vehicle or a machinery. This is one time expense, so loan is provided in lump sum amount in advance for 3-5 years and sometimes even more. The installments are paid monthly, quarterly or yearly depending upon the loan agreement. The term loan account becomes a Non-Performing account if interest or installment remains over due for period more then 90 days.

CASH CREDIT OR OVERDRAFT ACCOUNT In this type of accounts frequent debit or credits are done. The outstanding balance in the account will not exceed the sanction limit or the drawing power derived on the basis of the value of security offered for such advance. Cash credit accounts are generally for working capital requirement. A drawing limit is sanctioned on the basis of the value of outstanding stocks or book debts. Money can be withdrawn from the account up to limit based on the underlying value of stocks/book debts minus stipulated margin. Recovery from sale and book debts realization is created in the account and the account runs into debit/credit.

BANK OF BARODA Page 52

BILLS DISCOUNT/BILL PURCHASED

Credit facility against outstanding bills. Materials are bought and are to be sold within 30-90 days. If the buyer will pay after 30-90 days but the seller needs money immediately for operation. In such case he will request the bank to discount the bill and pay him immediately. Bank will charge interest for the period till the bank payment is received. The cash credit or overdraft account will be treated as NPA account if it remains out of order for a period more than 90 days. An account is considered out of order if the outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit /drawing power, but there is no credit continuously for 90 days or credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period.

WAYS TO REDUCE NPAs

1. Compromise settlement
BANK OF BARODA Page 55

2. Rescheduling 3. Rephasement 4. Restructured

BANK OF BARODA Page 56

COMPROMISE /SETTLEMENT

A compromise is an agreement reached by mutual consent, a negotiated settlement with or without sacrificing components of the either of the parties. Compromise is a non-legal remedy for reducing NPA of the bank. Normally bank would like to recover the entire dues with unapplied interest at contractual rates and costs the full, without any sacrifice. However, there are some instances when the bank may consider wavier of part interest and/or legal charges and agree to settle the account by receiving a little lesser amount

The difference between total actual dues and the dues received is called sacrifice. This sacrifice is to be borne by the bank.

When to compromise?
BANK OF BARODA Page 57

i. ii.

When the borrower is willing to settle the dues in a full lump sum and the sacrifice for the bank is minimum. When the branch of the bank feels that the time consumed & cost required recovering the cost through the process of filling suit and executing the decree will be more than the likely recovery to be effected. When the borrowed unit is suffering from chronic problems of production, sales etc and it becomes impossible for the firm to carry out such operations. When there is no security available or realization of the same is difficult or unit is closed and there are no assets for execution of decree and the borrower/guarantor is willing to settle the dues out of the court.

iii.

iv.

RESCHEDULING

Changing the pattern of debt service obligation, from equated monthly installment to descending schedule without considering any enhancement in repayment period and quantum of outstanding.

BANK OF BARODA Page 58

Retaining the existing repayment period Not exceeding the existing outstanding exposure Without changing the nature and quantum of existing credit facility

REPHASEMENT

VARIOUS STEPS TO REDUCE NPA


BANK OF BARODA Page 60

Study the problem of NPA branch wise and amount wise. Prepare loan recovery policies and strategies Create recovery cells Identify critical recovery cell Fix the target of recovery and draw time based action plans Select proper technique for solving problems of each NPA Monitor implementation of time based action plan Take possession of the secured assets of the borrower including the right to transfer lease Take corrective steps when ever found necessary while implementing the action plan and make changes in the original plan if required

BANK OF BARODA Page 61

MONITORING AND FOLLOW UP MEASURES With the Income Recognition and Asset Classification Norms becoming stricter, Branches are required to be more alert and proactive in monitoring the accounts. For this purpose, monthly interest application has become a useful tool to tackle potential delinquencies or defaults in standard accounts. To retain the asset quality, Branches should promptly act and : Recover the overdues or at least the critical amount through active follow up with borrowers; Put the accounts under holding on operations in case of temporary cash flow mismatches; Reschedule the repayment terms as per expected cash flows; Restructure the dues in keeping with the expected cash flows and gaps in cash flows, if any as per guidelines given in the restructuring policy.
BANK OF BARODA Page 62

Any one or more of the above actions should be taken before the account becomes NPA

Measures for follow up of Watch Category Accounts / NPA Accounts The various means of monitoring/resolving NPAs generally available to the Banks are listed below :A) Before the account becoming NPA (Watch Category A/c) 1. Close monitoring for compliance of sanction terms to maintain asset quality. 2. Reminders to be sent promptly whenever irregularities are observed.

3. To recover overdues quickly to ensure account does not slip to NPA category 4. Periodic inspection of the unit and charged assets along with analysis of financial data. 5. To restructure the dues before accounts become NPAs. Remedial action includes
BANK OF BARODA Page 63

enhancement of moratorium period, funding of interest, deferment of installments. Such rescheduling /restructuring/ rehabilitation to be done under Banks Restructuring Policy / BIFR approved scheme / CDR Mechanism.

BANK OF BARODA Page 64

B) After the account becoming NPA following measures to be initiated for recovering Banks dues. 1. Appropriation of liquid securities (TDR, NSC, shares, margin money etc.) and pledged goods, to reduce outstanding balance 2. 3. Disposal of other securities, with the co-operation of borrowers. Restructuring under Banks policy, CDR, BIFR etc., for viable units

4. Compromise settlement of dues through negotiation under Banks Recovery Policy and special RBI OTS Schemes (in force from time to time) 5. 6. 7. Forum of Lok Adalat and Recovery Camps Recalling the advance Initiating action under SRFAESI Act against charged securities

8. Filing suit in Court / DRT (Debt Recovery Tribunal) Execution of decree 9. 10. Sale of financial assets to ARCs Sale of financial assets to Banks

Standard assets are those account whose repayment is done on time and which are not liability for the bank and they are the source of income for the bank. As they receive payment from the borrower at the end of the loan period. This shows that the bank has sound recovery policy

Amount 887.65 832.32 743.23 1336.64 1318.71

Doubtful assets are those which remain as NPA for more then 24 months and if the bank can recover it. BoBs doubtful assets increased in 2011 and reduced in 2012 with compared to 2011, this shows that the bank is developing good recovery policy.

BANK OF BARODA Page 73

SUBSTANDARD ASSETS

YEAR 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

AMOUNT 727.61 665.26 894.83 1097.23 2661.82

Sub-standard assets are those which remain NPA for more than 24 months, but the bank has chances to recover them in the nearby future.
BANK OF BARODA Page 74

The sub-standard assets of the bank is rising continuously from the year 2009, which shows the bank should be more careful while lending the loans, and banks should take the required steps for restructuring the time period of loan so that maybe the longer period for repayment of loan will allow the lenders to pay the amount quickly.

LOSS ASSETS

YEAR 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

AMOUNT 366.12 345.34 762.64 718.63 484.22

BANK OF BARODA Page 75

Loss Assets are falling in the year 2012 with compare to year 2011 which shows that the bank has recovered much of its NPA. Loss assets are those which are not recovered ever by the bank from the borrower and the cost is to be ultimately paid by the bank. This does not create an income for the bank but are just liability for the bank. Fall in this loss assets shows that bank has made some good recovery policies which are allowing the bank to recover loan amount from its customers.

FINDINGS

BANK OF BARODA Page 84

The gross NPA of the bank is increasing from last 3 years The bank should try to find out which class of people are not able to repay the loan that whether the group of people belon to business class, or personal loan or some loans at agricultural section etc. And therefore be careful while lending loans to such section of society. The bank has not taken major steps to reduce NPA as it is not decreasing from the previous years. The bank could overcome high NPA situation because their NPA are not stagnant. Though the recovery has delayed the flow Banks standard assets should increase

BANK OF BARODA Page 85

CONCLUSION

The above analysis has concluded that the bank has immense potential in the activites performed and if it starts concentrating more professionally on its NPA problem then it can automatically increase its profit and channelize these profits in other activities

BANK OF BARODA Page 86

BANK OF BARODA Page 87

RECOMMENDATIONS

The bank should establish appropriate internal systems to eliminate the tendency to delay/postponed the identification of NPA Strict actions against the defaulters Bank has to take required precautions while lending the loans to the borrowers of the bank Recovery cells for all the branches which are facing the problems of NPA NPA is a major tool to analyze the profitability of the bank therefore the bank has to reduce its NPA to show better financial position to its stakeholders.
