CHAPTER -1
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.
ABSTRACT
Home is a dream of a person that shows the quantity of efforts, sacrifices
luxuries and above all gathering funds little by little to afford one‟sdream. Home is one of

the things that everyone one wants to own. Home is a shelter to person where he rests andfeels

comfortable. Many banksproviding home loans, whether commercial banks or

financialinstitutions, to the people who want to have a home. Many banks are providing home

loans atcheapest rate to attract consumers towards them. Themore customer friendly attitude of

thesebanks, currently offer to consumers cheapest loan over homes. In view of acute

housingshortage in the country, and keeping in mind the social– economic role of commercial

banksin the present times, the

RBI advised banks to encourage the flow of credit for housing finance. With the RBIreducing bank

rate, the home loan market rates nose-diving by 50 basis points. The ICICIBank andStandard

chartered bank has

become the first player in this sector to announce a housing loan for a 20 years period.

Nodoubt it will enhance the end cost of the home but it will facilitate people to plan their

houseover longer duration now, it has been made easy for a person to buy that dream house

whichhe dreamt of long ago.

A home loan is a loan taken for buying or constructing a home or to

makeimprovements to a residential property. You can get a loan from banks and registered

housingfinance companies.

TheHome loan sector in India is the pivotalrole player in the growth of the real

estatescenario in India. With tax incentives given to the housing finance sector in the annual

budgetof 2001, transactions related to buying and selling of residential properties increased.

considerably and was much higher as compared to previous years. Since the new class ofbuyers

are relatively younger set of customers who are more aware about legaldocumentation and
approvals, buyers are now more 'end-users' rather than investors; theproperty market in India

undergoes transformation to align itself with global standards withan increased emphasis on

quality & cost control and documentation methods. In the currenteconomy of India, the real

estate sector has the maximum propensity to generate income anddemand for materials,

equipment and services. It can be said that housing finance companieswere formed for co-

existing with buyer's requirements of housing loans for investing inproperties. Home loans are

made available by financial institutions to both Indian and NRIcustomers at floating and fixed

rate of interest and also at attractive EMI options.

The realty boom in India has given a new dimension to the finance sector in India

-both in Home Loans and Home Insurance segments. This has not only given a

competitiveedge to the finance companies to provide attractive options to customers but has

alsocontributed to the increased investments in the real estate sector. This has resulted in 13

newinstitutions foraying into the housing finance business in the last three years.

1.7.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Some of the limitations of the project that were encountered during the study are:
 In case of interaction with the representative of a particular bank it happensmany a
time that the representative cannot disclose all the data because of certain reasons like
banksprivacy policy etc. thus getting clear picture about the service provided is not
possible.
 Due to paucity of time, only important factors have been analyzed and discussed.
 Tocollect the data from various bankswasquite difficult due to non-cooperation
of some banks. This proved to be major limitation of the study.
 Toaccess such a large number of customers was difficult because of non-cooperative
attitude of respondents.
 Lack of data wasalso the other limitation of the study as some of banksdo not have
proper data on topic.
 There waslimitation of time to conduct such a big survey in limited availabletime.
 Generally the data on the websites of the banksare not fully disclosed i.e. other than
the charges mentioned on the website there are many hidden charges which increases
the cost like service charge etc
 Ignorance and reluctant attitude of customers was also a major limitation in this study.
I have tried a lot to overcome the above mentioned limitations as far as possible.

2.2.
LATEST TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY
2.2.1.GDP ratio at 7% provides room for further growth
 The ratio of mortgage to GDP in India has remained low at 7%, as against 12%for china,

41% for Hong-Kong and more than 80%foor developed countries, thusproviding for further

growth in the housing sector during the coming years. While thehousing finance companies

(HFC), which are regulated by National housing Board (awholly-owned subsidiary of RBI) were

pre– dominantly catering to mortgage needs.Over the past few years, banks too have started in

increasing their exposure to real estate,especially Home loans. This is evident from the fact that

the market share of HFCs hasdecreased from 65% if FYO1 to present 55%. Banks, on other hand

have been constantlyincreasing their market share, there by intensifying competition.

2.2.2.Revival in real estate prices in the initial period of the year and low
interest rate
Thecorrection in the real-estate prices in the initial period of the year and low
interest rate schemes announced by the banks/HFCs have resulted in significant surge
in volumes especially in the “Affordable housing segment”.
2.2.3.Sluggish credit demand; banks increase their exposure to housing
sector.

Due to the sluggish credit demand (up 10.1% yoy for the fortnight ended

November20, 2009), banks have been diverting their funds towards housing loans. According

to thefigures revealed by RBI, the non-food credit growth during April-august 2009 has

remainedmuted at 0.8%. On the other hand, lending to the home loan segment during this

periodincreased 2.8%. Since February 2009, banks have been aggressively pricing interest

rates onhome loans (including both floating and fixed rates). Subsidies havealso been

provided to theform of reduced processing fees and minimal/no penalty on early re-

payments. SBIs s homeloan book has increased by rs117bn or ar2.5% CQGR in the last four

quarters. With creditdemand to revive in coming period, banks are likely to divert their funds

to high yieldingassets thereby reducing their exposure to the housing sector.

19
2.2.4.HFCs continue to do business as usual

HFCs foresee the increasing share of banks exposure towards home loan

segment as a temporary phenomenon. In our view,banksare likely to face asset-liability

miss-match as these loans havea long gestation period. Further, these loans are a zero-sum

game in the initial period due to lower interest rate offered. HFCs, on the other hand typically

raise money that match their requirements and thus minimize their ALM mismatch
2.2.5.Differentialinterest rate may not remain for long
While the discounted / special scheme rates are offered to new home loans,
existing customers continue to ply higher rate of interest. The Indian Bank‟s Association
has planned to introduce a uniform rate for all borrowers.
2.2.6.India's mortgage market scores over West
 In India,the borrower contributes a higher share of his own funds (24-46% of
house value)at the time of purchasing a house.
 Theloan installments too eat away a smaller portion of the borrowers‟ income.
 Theinstallment to income ratio-ranged between 34% and 40%, in India is lower
than some countries in the West.
 Thisis based on an analysis by rating agency Fitch of the home loan asset pool
that it rates.
 Thisis because borrowers‟ income has kept pace with rise in property prices.
 Theextent of second houses purchased is also limited and most borrowers stick
to their repurchase schedules.
 Thefigures computed by Fitch based on the asset pool that it rates implies that
on an average, the borrower funds up to 30% of the house valuethrough his own
capital
 Thisamong other things increases the borrower‟s willingness to repay.
 Some bankers say the black money component is also high in the Indianrealty
market, resulting in higher borrower equity.
 Another notable factor is that delinquencies have remained range-bound in the
last 33 months, according to residential mortgage index launched by the ratings
firm.
 Theindex which tracks home loans that havenot repaid for over 90 dayshas
moved in a narrow range between 0.90% and 1.07%.

State Bankof India (SBI) is India's largest commercial bank. SBI has a vast domestic
network of over 9000 branches (approximately 14% of all bankbranches) and commands
one-fifth of deposits and loans of all scheduled commercial banks in India.

Theorigins of State Bank of Indiadate back to 1806 when the Bank of Calcutta (later

called the Bankof Bengal) wasestablished. In 1921, the Bank of Bengal and twoother

Presidency banks (Bank of Madras andBank of Bombay) were amalgamated to form the

Imperial Bank of India.In 1955, the controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India was

acquired by the Reserve Bank of Indiaand the State Bank of India(SBI) came into existence
21
by an act of Parliament as successor to the Imperial Bank of India.
Today,State Bankof India (SBI) has spread its arms around the world and has a
network of branches spanningall time zones. SBI'sInternational BankingGroup delivers the
full range of cross-border finance solutions through its four wings- the Domestic division,
the Foreign Offices division, the Foreign Department and the International Services division.
Ifone measures by the numberof branch offices and employees, SBI is the
largest bank in the world. Established in 1806 as Bank of Calcutta, it is the oldest commercial
bankin the Indiansubcontinent. SBI provides various domestic, international and NRI

products and services, through its vast network in India and overseas. With an asset base

of$126 billion and its reach, it is a regional bankingbehemoth. Thegovernment

nationalizedthe bank in 1955, with the Reserve Bank of Indiataking a 60% ownership stake.
In recent years the bank hasfocused on three priorities:
1), reducing its huge staff through Golden handshakeschemes known as the
Voluntary Retirement Scheme, which saw many of its best and brightest defects to the private
sector,
2), computerizing its operations and

3), changing the attitude of its employees (through an ambitious programme

aptlynamed 'Parivartan' which means change) as a large number of employees are very rude

tocustomers.

3.2 Roots:

TheState Bank of Indiatraces its roots to the first decade of 19th century, whenthe

Bank of Calcutta, later renamed the Bank of Bengal, wasestablished on 2 June 1806.

Bankof Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bankof Madras on 27 January 1921,

bankshad been incorporated as joint stock companies, and were the result of the royal charters.

TheImperial Bank of India continued as a joint stock company. Until the establishment of a
central bank in Indiathe Imperial Bank and its early predecessors served as India'scentral

bank,at least in terms of issuing the currency. TheState Bank of Ind

f India continued as a joint stock company. Until the establishment of a

banksbelonging to princely states before the government nationalized them in 1959. In tune

withthe first Five YearPlan, emphasizing the development of rural India,the government

integrated these banks with the State Bank of Indiato expand its rural outreach. TheStateBank

group refers to the seven associates and the parent bank. Allthe banksuse the samelogo of a blue

Add: - Anyfixed cash/voucher payments for which proof can be submitted.
Add: - 50 per cent of the averagevariablecash/voucher payments with proof like traveling

Add:- HRA receivable if not being received already in the salary slip.
The above income calculated for the calculation of eligibility using IIR andFOIR

norms. For calculation of FOIR, the installments of all the loans that one hasavailed

of currently for which repayment is being made is taken into account as well. The

lower of the two eligibilities is considered as the maximumrepayment capacity.

b)ToconsiderincomeofSelf-employedindividualswefurtherclassifytheminto
Professionals and non-professionals.
• Professionals: - Comprising doctors, chartered accountants, lawyers, architects, etc.

For calculation of eligibility of professional's income is computed by most HFIs using thegross

professional receipts instead of the Net profit as in the case of self-employed non-

professionals.
• Non-Professionals: - The income of non-professionals is normally calculated by
HFIsin the following manner: -
Averageof the net profits of last 2 years as it appears in the profit and loss
account (Returns need to be filed for the same. They should be filed regularly before
the due date is over).
Less: - Anyincome, which is unusualandnon-recurring in nature like sale of some asset, etc
which affects profits substantially,
Add: - Anyexpense that is unusual andnon-recurring in nature like repairs and maintenance
that has not been capitalized and effect profit adversely.
Add:- 50 per cent of the averagedepreciation of the last two years. Theaboveincome is
calculated for the calculation of eligibility using IIR and FOIR norms.

For calculation of FOIR the installments of all the loans that one has availedofcurrently

for which repayment is being made is taken into account and the eligibility isworked out.

Thelower of the two eligibilities is considered as the maximum repaymentcapacity.

However, the actual calculation model for EMI could be as follows:
From various resources, it is found that:
1)The EMI break up, for SBI is:
 68% - Principal Component and
 32% - Interest Component
2)ThewayEMI is calculated can be broadly categorized under two heads:
 Flat rate system and
 Reducing balance system.
Theflat rate system:

Therate of interest on the loan amount is calculated over the full duration of the

loan,the principal and the interest is divided over the number of installments and the

valuearrivedis your EMI. Let us understand this better:

Table13: EMI calculation in the flat rate system
A flat rate loan is the most expensive as in this case the interest is calculated on the entire
loan amount and no principal deduction is taken into account. Thusthe effective rate of
interest works out to be much higher.
51
Reducing balance system:

Theinterest is charged on the outstanding balance of the loan, which goes on

reducing. Hence the cost of the same loan amount on an annualreducing balance method

works out to 29% and 35% on a monthly reducing balance method. Againin case of
reducing system, there are three types:
Table 14: EMI calculation in Reduced balanced system
Daily reducing balance method (Used by SBI)
Here, there is immediate reduction in principal thereby reducing the interest
calculated on it. If you havetaken a loan of Rs.1, 00,000/- at 21% interest for 3 years and
you pay Rs.3, 760/- on Jan 10, the lender will consider total outstanding principal as
Rs.96, 240/- from Jan 11. The interest will be calculated on Rs.1,00,000/- from Jan 1 to
Jan 10 and from Jan 11, interest will be calculated on Rs.96,240/-. With a lower
outstanding principal, the total interest paid out reduces and so does the EMI.
Monthly reducing balance method
Here, the principal component is deducted at the end of every month andthen the interest
is calculated on this new outstanding reduced principal. Theabovetable gives thecash
outflow on a loan of Rs.1, 00,000/- at 21% interest for 3 years, when interest is calculated
by monthly reducing balance method.
52
Annual reducing balance method
Here the principal component of EMI though reduced every month, is summated
annually.Therefore, the interest is calculated on the original loan amount for the

entire year. Atthe end of the year, the accumulated principal component is deductedfrom the

original loan amount and the interest for the next year is on this reduced loanamount. Ifyou

havetaken a loan of Rs.1,00,000/- at 21% interest for 3 years, the EMIwill be Rs.4,018/-.
Which EMI plan to choose?
Payment of EMIs in advance or in arrears?
Paying the EMI at the beginning of the month (EMI in advance)means that
you lock your money for the month; while paying in arrears, (i.e. at the end of the
month) givesyou an extra month before the payout. Theeffective rate of interest onthe loan also

goes up when you paythe EMI at the beginning of the month. Hence iftwo schemes offer the

same EMI, choose the one, which allows paymentin arrears.

Advance EMI payment
In advanceEMI schemes a certain number of EMIs are collected from the

borrower in advance.The number of EMIs that have to be paid out in advancevarieswith the

interest charged on the loan. Themore you payin advancethe lesser shouldbe the interest

charges.

Also in 100% financed loans, some EMIs haveto be paid upfront as

advance.Thiseffectively reduces the loan amount and in real terms the financier has not

givenyou 100% finance but charges interest on the entire cost of the asset.

dvance.The number of EMIs that have to be paid out in advancevarieswith the interest charged

on the loan. Themore you payin advancethe lesser shouldbe the interest charges.

Also in 100% financed loans, some EMIs haveto be paid upfront as

givenyou 100% finance but charges interest on the entire cost of the asset.
53
Deposit linked plan
Here, the financier offers a lower rate of interest, provided the borrower

invests 20% to 25% of the asset cost as a fixed deposit with the financier. The intereston this

deposit is usually lower than the interest charged on the loan. Here again youmust consider

the cost of parking your funds in the deposit as the returns on it maynot weigh favorably with

the low interest charged on the loan.

In the end, the thumb rule of EMI to remember: EMI is lowest, when interestis

calculated on a daily reducing basis. Thereason whyEMI varies for the same loanamount,

tenure and interest rate is the difference in the compounding frequency ofinterest rates.
We can remember that one liner joke - “Why sharks never take lenders?” The
answer is “Professional courtesy”.
Pre-EMI:
In case of part of disbursement of the loan, monthly interest is payable
only on the disbursement amount. This interest is payable monthly till the final
disbursement is made, after the EMIs would commence.

INSURANCE COVER

Compulsory insurance of property. Optional life cover from SBI Life & freeaccident

insurance cover for borrower available. Thehouse/flat to be insured againstthe risk of

fire/riots/earthquake/lighting/floods etc. in the joint names of the borrowerand the bank for

the actualproject cost after netting off the cost of land, stamp dutyan registration charges.

People seeking home loan often encounter such worries like what if anythinghappens to

them in that case what would happen to the home loan? Naturally, theirmain concern is that

should something happen to them their folks would havetoencounter the problem of facing the

impact of repaying the loan debt. Home loaninsurance is completely different from home

insurance.

Thistype of insurance covers the amount of home loan you owe to the bank.Thisdoesn't

include the amount you havealready paid butthe amount still to be paidand evidently your

family members will not face the problem of paying the amountbeing owed to the bankbut the

insurance provider will bear the brunt of the same.Theinsurance companies are not very

impending about how much amount is to bepaid as part of the insurance premium as the

premium amount varies depending onthe case.

Thepremium amount broadly relies on conditions like - age of the person

availingthe loan (the younger the person, the lower the premium amount); loan

amount (the lesser the loan amount, the lower the premium); period of the loan (the

more the loan repayment period, more is the premium); another important factor is

the health of the loan taker (the premium amount would below in case of good
health of the individual).SBI offers mortgage life insurance policy to the SBI home

loan applicants thereby consolidating the insurance premium along with the EMIs.

TheState Bank of India offers a free personal accident insurance cover to their clients
availinghome loan so that the client's family doesn't have to face any problem if he/she meets
an accident that proves to be fatal.

VALUATION POLICIES
The existing valuation policy was reviewed, and ECCB approved the following
valuation and re valuation policy w.e.f. 01.04.08 for individual home loans (IHLS):
(1) Asset ValuationPolicy for IHLS:
Purpose Of Home Loan
Valuation Policy

Valuation of land plus project cost i.e.stae-wise
estimated expenditure obtained from the
empanelled architect / engineer irrespective of
loan amount. Disbursement to be made
according to the stage of construction.
For loans unto rs 2 laces at rural /semi-urban

branches, the sanctioning authority may waivevaluation as above and my assess the

valuationbased on market prices by enquiry and a

certificate by the contractor/engineer involved
in construction.
Purchase of second sale plot
/dwelling units
Valuation report obtained from the empanelled
architect/engineer/valuer irrespective of the
loan amount and ageof the property.

Table 20: valuation policies
63
(2) Asset RevaluationPolicy for IHLs:
 Loans abovers.1 crore are given up to an LTVratio of 75% only, andas such
will not attract the higher CRW (Credit Ratio Weight).
 Loans of Rs 1 crore and below were given up to a LTVof 85 %( now reduced to
80%), which attract higher CRW of 100%.
 However, for a regular loan, a part of the principal gets repaid, and over a period
of about 2.5 years from commencement of repayment, the LTV ratio comes
down to 75%.
 Therefore,higher CRW would be applicable only during this period.
 There could also be appreciation in valueof the property during this initial
repayment period of 2.5 years, which could bring down the LTV ratio below
75%.
 Tohavethe benefit of lower CRW, the appreciation through a proper
revaluation of the property.
 Therevaluation is to be carried in such cases by the Asst/Dy.manager
(advances)/appraisal officer at the branch/RACPC. Theprocess need not be as
detailed as n the case of a fresh loan sanction.
 In case of all home loans with out standings aboveRs 1 crore that are standard
assets, the underlying properties should be revalued once after the expiry of
3years by engagingan empanelled architect / engineer / value.Thecost of such
valuation will be borne by borrower.
 Thefirst revaluation, in terms of this policy is due in January 2009 for loans
(standard assets havingan LTV ratio of more than 75%) sanctioned during last
3 years. (A format for valuation is enclosed.)
 Concessionary capital risk weight (CRW) on home loans is availableto banks

accordance with a collateral valuation policy approved by banksboard. Risk

PROMOTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE PRODUCTS
(a) PROMOTION:
 State Bank of India,has come up with a non-conventional method to promote
its home loanbusiness.
 SBI promotes home loan segment at its „Home FairMelas’ at each circle
level.
 SBI also use to enter into an agreement with the known builders to promote its
home loan segment.
 The bank is looking forward to develop special processing channels so as to
provide quick services to home loan customers.
 There would be no processing fees on loans, adding that the home loans
approved at the fair would bear 0.25 per cent less interest than the nominal rate from the
start of fourth year of repayment.
 Around 24 property dealers and builders were present at the fair.
 Several kinds of staff are involved in these Fairs, who include:
♀ Marketing Associates

♀ Field Officers

♀ Associated Builders and

♀ The staff from respective Retail Asset Central Processing Cells

(RACPC).

66
6.3.
PROCESS UNDERTAKEN
6.3.1. APPLICATION SUBMISSION
 Thehome loan application form of SBI is rather lengthy compared to the
forms at other private sector lenders.

 Completely filled in Form along with the necessary documents.

 Need to submit the documents from builder.

 In my case, the project had APF no in SBI (basically already approved by

SBI); so not much documentation was required.
 Otherwise they would make a surgereport, which can consume some time. I
guess they are quite strict about it.
6.3.2. PRE-SANCTION PROCESS
 The Field Officers hold Personal Discussion with the prospect customer regarding
Interest Rate, Eligibility, EMI and all the terms and conditions

 Theprospect customer’s options and acceptance are ascertained and recorded.

 Necessarydocuments are collected from the customer.

 Pre-Inspection Sheet is maintained along with the documents to record inspection by

the
Bank‟s staff (or) outsourced agency.
 Bank'sFieldInvestigation for address proof/Employment etc.
 All the documents are sent to Retail Assets Central Processing Cell (RACPC) forcredit
appraisalbased on the customer‟s financial capacities.
 All the terms are conditions including Loan amount, interest rate, tenure, EMI etc are
determined.
 The RACPC would submit its credit appraisal report on the customer to the branch.

67
 Legal Opinion:

Empanelled Lawyer(s) does submit the Title Deed verification and the
search report for 30 years in respect of properties of the customer.

Thelegal clearances/ opinion of the flat/property which you are buying/
staying /constructing have to be obtained from an advocate from Bank panel.

Submission of legal documents & legal check.

Thesearch report reveals encumbrance on the property based on which the
grant of loan can be avoided andthe prospect borrower may be asked to
rectify it.
 Valuation check:

TheEngineer‟s valuationof the property and estimate for the construction to
be obtained with bank panel engineer.

In case of takeover loans, two panelengineer valuation is required and the
least valuebetween them should be more than the takeover amount.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN:

 Applications form to be complete in all respects.

 Market information about the potential borrower should be gathered.

 Pre-sanction survey should be conducted wherever required.

 The authenticity of salary slip, form 16 return, and proof of identification, address
and income etc. should be cross checked.
 Income from all sources is to be considered, wherever applicable, whenthe
sanctioning authority is satisfied about the quantum and uninterrupted flow thereof
during the tenure of the loan.
6.3.3. SANCTION STAGE
68
 Thebranch manager would consider the credit appraisal report of RACPC andwill take
a decision whether to sanction or not the loan to the customer.
 Thedecision is informed to the prospect customer the decision so taken via Field
Officer.
 If the decision is “sanctioned”, the Field Officer would issue Offer letter to the prospect.
6.3.4. POST-SANCTION PROCESS
 Registration of Property documents
 Signing of Agreements and submitting post-dated cheques
 SBI insists on all the margin money contributions to have been made to the seller and
the money receipts to be handed over to them prior to the loan disbursement.
 Thecustomer needs to submit the cash amount for various stamps, mortgage fee etc.
 They would take12 cheques of SBI a/c for security.
 You can link your SBI savingsa/c to havestanding instruction to deduct EMI.
Normally, almost all home purchase transactions will entail paymentof an advanceto
the seller and on the dayof registration, the remaining contribution from the buyer and the
loan amount from the bankare exchanged with the property documents. Not with SBI.
Andonce the registration is done, the loan applicantneeds to get the latest
Encumberance Certificate (EC) from the Registrar‟s Office and submit it to SBI.Subsequent

to this process, SBI will create an equitable mortgage on the property in favourof the bankas

collateral. This entails a fee of Rs 7000 (I understand that this is a percentage of the registered
valueof the property) to the loan applicant. Only after all this is done, will the process be

complete. I never saw this equitable mortgage fee being mentioned anywhere in the high
decibel advertisements from SBI.
69
6.3.5. DISBURSEMENT
 Thedisbursement is made in phases correlating to the actual progress made in the
construction.
 Theproper end-use of funds is ensured by visits to the sites.
 Certificate from the engineer may be required to be submitted by the borrower
stating the status of the project.
 By BC/DD crossed A/c Payee only incorporating the builder‟s/seller‟s A/c No. and
banker‟s name and sent directly to builder/seller by Regd. AD/Speed Post.
6.3.6.POST- DISBURSEMENT PROCESS
 Property inspection is carried out and recorded in the Inspection Register at each stage
of disbursement by the field officers.
 Theinstallments are disbursed in different proportions in different phases as per the
progress of the work.
6.3.7. REPAYMENT
 Loan repayment options:
 SBI lays down certain rules and regulations pertaining to the repayment of
loans.
 Theloan applicants can repay the amount in the form of equated monthly
installments.
 Therepayment is allowed up to the ageof 70 years.
 Repayment period:
Maximum 25 years (or) Up to the age of 70 years (the age by which the loan
should be fully repaid) of the borrower, whichever is early.
70
MAXIMUM REPAYMENTPERIOD:
 For applicantsupto 45 yearsof age:25 years
 For applicantsover 45 years of age: 15 years
 Moratorium period (Repayment holiday): The moratorium period is included
within the maximum repayment period.
6.3.8. PRE-CLOSURE
 Pre-closure is allowed by the Bank at any time after the complete disbursal and before
the actual tenure.
 If the loan is pre-closed from own resources for which proof is submitted by the
customer, penalty is not levied irrespective of period for which the a/c has run.
Pre-closure Penalty:
 No penalty if the loan is pre-closed from own savings/windfall gains for which
documentary evidence is produced by the customer.
 In case, such proof is not produced by the borrower, penalty @2% on the amount
prepaid in excess of normal EMI dues shall belevied if the loan is pre closed within 3
years from the date of commencement of repayment
6.3.9.NON-PERFORMAING ASSET FORMATION
When a loan or an advance does become an NPA:

The main business of a bank is through loans and advances section the bankaccept

deposits from the public and certain amount they keep it as reservebalance andthe rest of it they

lend it to the needed customers who require it in the form of loansand advances. The customer
who deposits the money they get interest and the personwho takes the loan pays interest and the

difference between is the profit of the bank.

71

Suppose the customer who took loan could not pay back the loan amount orthe

installment money which consist of the interest amount and the principal amountcontinuously

for some specific period of time they are then converted to probableNPA and then comes the

role of recovery team which put theirmaximum effort to getback the amount back which they

have given as a loan or advances and at the end ifthey fail to get back the money then finally the

amount is converted as NonPerforming Assets.

 If the installment is overdue or pending for more then 90 days then a bank can convert
the loan amount to probable NPA and
 If it could not be recovered by the recovery management team then it is converted into
NPA.
 An asset becomes non-performing when it ceases to generate income for the Bank.
Asfrom 31st March 2006, a non-performing Asset (NPA) is an advance
Where:
(i) Interest and/or installment of principal remain „overdue‟ for a period of more than
90 days in respect of a Term Loan,
(ii) Theaccount remains „out of order‟ for a period of more than 90 days, in respect of
an Overdraft/Cash Credit (OD/CC),
(iii) The bill remains „overdue‟ for a period of more than 90 days in the case of bills
purchased and discounted,
(iv) Any amount to be received remains „overdue‟ fora period of more than 90 days
in respect of other accounts.

(v) A loan granted for short duration crops is treated as NPA, if the installment

ofprincipal or interest thereon remains overdue for two crop seasons and a loan granted for

longduration crops is treated as NPA, if installment of principal or interest thereon

remainsoverdue for one crop season.

vi) An account would be classified as NPA only if theinterest charged during any
quarter is not serviced fully within 90 days from the end of the quarter.
72
6.3.10. RECOVERY MECHANISM
Thefollowing debt collection practices will be applied to all debts (rates and
sundry debtors) over $200 that is not in dispute which havebeen outstanding for 90 days:
 First reminder letter will be forwarded, requesting paymentwithin 14 days
or to contact Council to enter into an arrangement.
 Where no response is received, second reminder letter will be forwarded
requesting payment within 14 days or to contact Council to enter into an
arrangement.
 Where no response has been received a letter of demand for paymentwithin

7 dayswill be forwarded. Theletter will state that failure to make paymentin full or to enter into

an arrangement will result in the commencement oflegal action.

 Where no response has been received, outstanding debt will be forwarded to
Council‟sdebtcollectionagent.
 Various Recovery Procedures
State Bankof India adopts various recovery procedures to recover the debt from its
defaulters.
The various recovery procedures are mentioned below:
 Reasons For Default :

There are various reasons for default like mismanagement, diversification of

fund, short fall in investment, will fall default etc. So a credit managershould take

various factors into account before lending a loan.

 Demand Notice:
When a defaulter does not repays loan a demand notice is issued to him that he
has to repay his loan with a stipulate time period.
73
 Legal Notice:

When a defaulter does not respond to the demand notice a direct notice isissued to

him that if he does not repay the loan action would be taken against himlegally and the court

Interpretation:
 More than half of the existing customers are sanctioned loan amount not exceeding
Rs. 5 lacs.
 The second majority of the customers are sanctioned loan amount above Rs.5 lacs to
Rs. 10 lacs.
 Thelow repayment capacity of the customers in the region could be the main reason
for the sanction of smaller quantities of loan.
 Thisimplies that there wasa demand for the lower weightproducts like SBI HI-
FIVE LOANS in the region.

 Thegrowth rate of 44.8 of the year 2007-08 was almost sustained in the year 2008-
09.
 Thetrend can be attributed to the reflection of decrease in demand and the impact of
global recessional sentiments in the banking sector.

Table33: take overs
Interpretation:
 There wasless demand for the take over of advancesfrom other banks in the region
from the customers of other banks in the home loan segment.
 It wasfound from the collected complaints from the customers that the Bank itself

follows stringent mechanisms to entertain the take over requests of the customers of

other banks in the rest of the regions and that, may be the reason for the low level

accounts of such requests to avert risks.

 The branch could entertain the transfer of only six such accounts from Dewan
Housing Finance Ltd of total amount Rs. 50 lacs.
