EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The objective of the project is to study and analyze the various aspects of financing corporate borrowers which are beyond the powers of the branches and within the ambit of the Circle Office of Punjab National Bank (PNB).This study covers the process Punjab National Bank follows to assess the credit worthiness of its clients and grant the finance for the setting up or expansion of their projects. Financial requirements for Project Finance and Working Capital purposes are taken care of at the Credit Department. Primarily, credit is required for following purposes: a. Working capital finance

b. Term loan for mega projects c. Non Fund Based Limits

A brief study of the procedure to calculate the credit risk rating for the various proposal available has also been covered. Before granting finance, the bank calculates the credit risk score of the client by using software called PNB Trac, generated by feeding in both the quantitative and qualitative data of the client, which is used by the bank to evaluate the credit risk of the bank and accordingly charge the rate of interest to the clients. In ordinary loan transaction there is no credit risk associated with the borrower but, this is a very important part in case of project finance. In a proposal what is important is the identification, analysis, allocation and management of every risk associated. Attempts have been made to understand the models used by the banks as a whole, their feasibility and the degree to which the models are able to mitigate the risk. The viability study tries to find out the industries where the projects can be financed and the parameters that are taken into account. After all the related analysis is done, decision about sanctioning of loan is made based on the credit worthiness of the client, policy of RBI and the bank. My learning from this project is about how risks are faced by the bank and how they are being mitigated. Bank uses various tools in which risk can be diversified thereby helping bank in making efficient decisions. A proper credit appraisal process is being applied by PNB for providing financial aid to corporate.

PROJECT PROCESS SUMMARY

The project consists of understanding the basic concepts related to the topics concerned, detailed understanding of the credit appraisal process, risk rating and a brief overview about the techno-economic viability of the projects and finally the case study of rathi steel and power limited. Initially my mentor gave me the PNBOA's manual to read and understand all the policies and rules provided by RBI and banks internal policies in making lending decisions. During the project, Mr. Dinesh Kumar Singhal , also explained the various parameters bank looks into while assigning ratings to various corporate and non-corporate. He explained the entire process of risk rating and the financial analysis that is done by banks. Then I was sent to the rating department to understand working of the PNB TRAC software. After an analysis of current ratio, debt-equity ratio and the various profitability ratios and other parameters ratings are assigned by the software according to the preset benchmarks. Secondary research on the meaning of risk, its scope, various types of risk etc. has been done to get in tune with the purpose of the project. I was given some proposals to have a brief understanding and then my mentor gave me 2-3 proposals to prepare. In the techno-economic viability study, debt-service coverage ratio, the technical and the economic viability of the project is analyzed. The demand-supply gap, the commercial viability is also analyzed. A projected profit and loss account is prepared and sensitivity analysis is done to figure out the techno-economic feasibility study of the projects. I worked out on the case of rathi steel and power limited from preparation of proposal, board note, risk rating, clarifications of the issues and finally recommendations being sent to Head office for further actions.

INTRODUCTION TO BANKING INDUSTRY

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, which started in 1790; both are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India in 1955. The Indian Banking industry, which is governed by the Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949 can be broadly classified into two major categories, non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled banks comprise commercial banks and the co-operative banks. In terms of ownership, commercial banks can be further grouped into nationalized banks, the State Bank of India and its group banks, regional rural banks and private sector banks (the old/ new domestic and foreign). These banks have over 67,000 branches spread across the country The first phase of financial reforms resulted in the nationalization of 14 major banks in 1969 and resulted in a shift from Class banking to Mass banking. This in turn resulted in a significant growth in the geographical coverage of banks. Every bank had to earmark a minimum percentage of their loan portfolio to sectors identified as priority sectors. The manufacturing sector also grew during the 1970s in protected environs and the banking sector was a critical source. The next wave of reforms saw the nationalization of 6 more commercial banks in 1980. Since then the number of scheduled commercial banks increased four-fold and the number of bank branches increased eight-fold.

After the second phase of financial sector reforms and liberalization of the sector in the early nineties, the Public Sector Banks (PSB) s found it extremely difficult to compete with the new private sector banks and the foreign banks. The new private sector banks first made their appearance after the guidelines permitting them were issued in January 1993. Eight new private sector banks are presently in operation. These banks due to their late start have access

to state-of-the-art technology, which in turn helps them to save on manpower costs and provide better services.

The banking industry in India seems to be unaffected from the global financial crises which started from U.S in the last quarter of 2008. Despite the fallout and nationalization of banks across developed economies, banks in India seems to be on the strong fundamental base and seems to be well insulated from the financial turbulence emerging from the western economies. During the recessionary phase in October 2008March 2009 period, the RBI was swift to reduce the policy rates, both repo and reverse repo and provide liquidity to the economy by reducing the reserve ratios and offering adequate support to the banking system. Couple of fiscal stimulus packages by the Government, relaxation of norms for certain sectors like real estate and allowing the banks to restructure its advances too contributed to the sailing of Indian banks through the rough phase with minimal impact. The Indian banking industry is well placed as compare to their banking industries western counterparts which are depending upon government bailout and stimulus packages. The strong economic growth in the past, low defaulter ratio, absence of complex financial products, regular intervention by central bank, proactive adjustment of monetary policy and so called close banking culture has favored the banking industry in India in recent global financial turmoil.

Although there will be no impact on the Indian banking system similar to that in west but the banks in India will adopt for more of defensive approach in credit disbursal in coming period. In order to safe guard their interest, banks will follow stringent norms for credit disbursal. There will be more focus on analyzing borrower financial health rather than capability.

INTRODUCTION TO CREDIT APPRAISAL

What is loan? An arrangement in which a lender gives money or property to a borrower, and the borrower agrees to return the property or repay the money, along with interest, at a future time. There is a predetermined time for repaying a loan, and generally the lender has to bear the risk if the borrower is not able to repay the loan.

Corporate Loan Corporate loans are loans made to businesses for a specific business purpose. It is a loan given to a business so that it can buy buildings, equipments, may install a new plant or carry out an expansion or modernization process etc. There are many types of corporate loans, and lenders change interest rates for these loans based on risk and market conditions, just like individual loans. Without these loans, most companies would not have enough funding for basic business activities. While there are many varieties, the most widely used and important ones are(1) Working capital loan (2) Term loan

1. Working Capital The term working capital is used in financial parlance to describe that capital which is required by an enterprise to carry out its day to day operations. It mainly consists of investments in raw material, work in progress, finished goods and receivables. Banks provide the working capital finance in the form of cash credits, overdraft, demand loans (for working capital purpose), bills purchased / discounted limits and pre- shipment and post- shipment credits etc.

SIP 2012

Working capital management is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage the current assets, the current liabilities and the interrelationship that exist between them. For proper working a manufacturing unit needs a specific level of current assets such as raw material, stock in process, finished goods, receivables and other current assets such as cash in hand/ bank and advances etc. So the working capital means the funds invested in current assets. The trading units need the working capital for storing the goods and allowing credit to its customers. The service units need the working capital for meeting the expenditure, for making advance payments to its staff and providing credit to its customers. So all type of units whether in manufacturing or trading or service sector need the working capital.

Working Capital Finance is categorized as: 1) Fund Based. These are the facilities for which the bank provides funding and assistance to actually purchase business assets or to meet business expenses. Inventory finance and Bill Finance (Post Sales Finance) Cash credit

2) Non Fund Based. These are the facilities for which the bank can issue letters of credit or can give a guarantee on behalf of the customer to the suppliers, Government Departments for the procurement of goods and services on credit.

Letter of Credit (LC) Bank Guarantee.

2. Term Loan When a loan is granted for a fixed period exceeding one year & is repayable in installments according to a schedule of repayment extending beyond three years it is commonly known as

18

SIP 2012

term loan . This loan is granted for purchase of fixed assets & is usually allowed against hypothecation mortgage of movables/immovable assets. Bankers tend to classify term loans into two categories: Intermediate-term loans: Usually running less than three years, these loans are generally repaid in monthly installments from a business's cash flow. Repayment is often tied directly to the useful life of the asset being financed. Long-term loans: These loans are commonly set for more than three years. Most are between three and 10 years, and some run for as long as 20 years. Long-term loans are collateralized by a business's assets and typically require quarterly or monthly payments derived from profits or cash flow. Term loan is normally extended to finance the acquisition of fixed assets. It is generally sanctioned for the following purposes : For setting up of new industrial units For expansion of an existing unit Modernization of existing unit, Diversification into different product lines Restructuring of existing units For backward integration i.e. for manufacturing certain products which are being used as raw material by existing units. For forward integration i.e. for manufacturing certain products of existing unit as raw material.

Methods Of Lending :a) Working Capital i) Simplified method linked with turnover:- simplified method based on turnover for assessing working capital finance upto 2 crore shall continue ii) MPBF System:- existing MPBF system with flexible approach shall be followed for units requiring working capital finance exceeding the above mentioned amount

SIP 2012

iii)

Cash Budget System:- Cash budget system shall be followed in sugar, tea, service sector, construction activity etc.

iv)

Loan System for Delivery of Bank Credit :- borrowers will have freedom to decide the proportion of cash credit and loan component of working capital limits, period of such loans and renewal of loan component

b) Term Loan:- The system of annual renewal/review of working capital limits is in vogue. In order to ensure effective monitoring specially in case of project financing having longer gestation period, a system of annual review of term loans has been introduced recently. Accordingly, all term loans, other than retail loans, with sanctioned limit of 1 crore & above needs to be reviewed annually. The term loans with remaining maturity period of above 5 years shall not exceed 50% of the term deposits with remaining maturity period of above 5 years after taking into account the renewal of term deposits as per the past trend.

Credit Appraisal Credit appraisal means an investigation/ assessment done by the bank prior to providing any loans & advances & also checks the commercial, financial & technical viability of the project proposed, its funding pattern & further checks the primary & collateral security cover available for recovery of such funds. In the credit appraisal process, the decision maker makes an attempt to find answers to two questions. First, whether the entrepreneur requires funds, and also what are his credentials. If the answer to first question is positive, the second question is all about the extent of his requirement and the ways and means to fund the requirements. Assessment of credit requirements for enterprises working at a small scale is often difficult because of lack of data relating to operations of the unit. Credit Appraisal is a process to ascertain the risks associated with the extension of the credit facility. It is generally carried by the financial institutions which are involved in providing financial funding to its customers. Credit risk is a risk related to non repayment of the credit

obtained by the customer of a bank. Thus it is necessary to appraise the credibility of the customer in order to mitigate the credit risk. Proper evaluation of the customer is performed which measures the financial condition and the ability of the customer to repay back the loan in future. Generally the credit facilities are extended against the security know as collateral. But even though the loans are backed by the collateral, banks are normally interested in the actual loan amount to be repaid along with the interest. Thus, the customer's cash flows are ascertained to ensure the timely payment of principal and the interest. It is the process of appraising the credit worthiness of a loan applicant. Factors like age, income, number of dependents, nature of employment, continuity of employment, repayment capacity, previous loans, credit cards, etc. are taken into account while appraising the credit worthiness of a person. Every bank or lending institution has its own panel of officials for this purpose. However the 3 C of credit are crucial & relevant to all borrowers/ lending which must be kept in mind at all times. Character Capacity Collateral

If any one of these are missing in the equation then the lending officer must question the viability of credit.

Credit Approval Process


Prior to granting loan/credit to a corporate or a non-corporate, there is 5 step process followed by banks. It is very important process as the NPAs of the banks have increased in the last couple of quarters on account of liberal lending by the banks. This has made the process all the very important. On top of this there are the Know Your Customer Guidelines that every bank has to follow. Before lending, the bank basically looks at the 5 Ps to analyse the credibility of the borrower. These are :

21

SIP 2012

1. Person: This is the first P of lending. The integrity and the capacity of the person is checked before granting any loan. Capacity also includes the financial capacity and the managerial capacity. 2. Purpose: The 2nd P talks about the purpose of the loan. In this step, the technical, economic and the commercial viability of the project are analyzed. 3. Payment: The 3rd P talks about the time of payment for the loan that will be provided by the banks. For e.g., a Term Loan is granted with a payment period of 8 years. If the payment is not made on time, there is an asset-liability mismatch. 4. Protection: The 4th P analyses the protection that is given by the borrower to avail the facility. The security can of two kinds. Primary and Secondary. For high value loans, tangible assets are kept as collateral with the banks. The role of guarantor also comes into picture. The banks have been authorized the property of the borrower and nobody can use that property without the permission of the banks. 5. Perspective: Even though all the first four Ps are satisfied and the person may be eligible for loan, it depends on the bank, whether credit should be granted. The policy of the banks, policies of the RBI and the nation interest is considered in the perspective context of the credit approval.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of default by borrower due to inability / unwillingness to repay his debts in accordance with the agreed terms and conditions .

General Factors determing Credit Risk The credit risk of a banks portfolio depends on both external and internal factors. The external factors can be economy wide as well as company specific. Some of the economy wide factors are: State of the economy Wide swings in commodity prices Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates Trade restrictions Economic sanctions Government policies,etc.

Some company specific factors are: Management expertise Company policies Labour relations

The internal factors within the bank which influence credit risk are: Deficiencies in loan policies/ administration Absence of prudential credit concentration limits Inadequately defined lending limits for loan officers. Deficiencies in appraisal of borrowers financial position. Excessive dependence on collateral without ascertaining its quality/reliability Lack of risk pricing mechanisms Absence of loan review mechanism

SIP 2012

Ineffective system of monitoring of accounts

While the bank can influence and control the internal factors to improve quality of its credit portfolio, the risk due to external factors can be minimised by proper diversification across industries and by initiating necessary changes in the loan portfolio in anticipation of adverse developments. Development of effective risk assessment and monitoring systems will help in improving the quality of credit decisions thereby reducing loan losses.

Need for credit Risk Assessment

If terms and conditions of sanctions are stipulated without proper assessment of credit risk, bank might charge: High ROI from a good quality customer, which may drive them away to other bank OR low ROI from a poor quality customer thereby not compensating for higher losses due to higher probability of default. How to minimize Credit risks By controlling the internal factors to improve the quality of credit portfolio By proper diversification of credit portfolio across industries

Industry risk:- Government regulations and policies, availability of infrastructure facilities, industry rating, industry scenario and outlook, technology up gradation, availability of inputs etc. Financial risk:- In the guidance notes issued on credit risk management, RBI has identified certain areas for critical examination in order to assess the degree of financial risk involved in a credit proposal Analysis of past financials Analysis of future cash flows including projected profitability Flexibility to raise required resources Strength of the sponsor group

Business risk:- The business efficiency of a company is a function of its relative positioning within the industry/sector. It is generally determined by the market position and operating efficiency of the company. The lending bank may select suitable parameters relevant to the industry for assessment of this risk. Management risk:- For a lending banker, the management related risks are perhaps the most relevant and important risk elements, especially if the promoter/management of the enterprise is new to the bank. This risk may involve an assessment of management capabilities in terms of Track record of the management

Quality of the management personal Payment record with banks Market standing Support from group companies

Project risk:- If the credit proposal envisages project funding by the bank by way of term finance, it would also be necessary to evaluate the project specific factors, in addition to the above. Evaluation of project risks would involve analysis and appraisal of the following: Determination of the size of the project in relation to the existing net worth of the enterprise Likelihood and extent of overruns Assessment of project implementation risks Technology / stabilisation risks Risks related to statutory clearances Assessment of funding risks

RISK RATING

Credit risk rating is the rating assigned to borrowers based on an analysis of their ability and willingness to repay the debt taken from the bank. This rating is assigned on a scale, which generally has 6 to 8 levels. Companies falling in the same credit risk category have similar probability of default. Better the rating lower the probability of default. The probability of default increases in an exponential manner as the credit risk rating deteriorates. Uses of Credit Risk Rating It helps to decide in following matters: 1. Whether to lend to s borrower or not. 2. Pricing 3. Risk mitigants 4. Product mix 5. Level of decision making 6. Frequency of renewal and monitoring Assessment of credit risk rating Credit risk rating tool involve analysis of a company on various parameters such as financials, industry characteristics, business performance, management quality etc. different scales can be used and the above parameters can be combined with appropriate weightages to arrive at a final score. The credibility of credit risk rating to a large extent depends on the skills of the person using the rating tool and his integrity in using the model equitably for all concerns. It is essential for the rater to acquire reasonably adequate information about the company and the industry before he conducts the rating. Characteristics of a good rating system Sensitivity of ratings to real changes in credit quality Lead time with respect to recognized changes to quality Stability of ratings when no change has occurred.

Credit risk rating tool PNB TRAC The credit risk rating tool has been developed with a view to provide standard system for assigning a credit risk rating to the borrowers of the bank according to their risk profile. This rating tool is applicable to all large corporate borrowal accounts availing total limits (fund based and non fund based) of more than Rs. 12 crore or having total sales/ income of more than Rs. 100 crore. Inputs to the tool are the financial data of the borrower, industry information and the evaluation of the borrower on various objective and subjective parameters. The tool evaluates the credit risk rating of a borrower on a scale of AAA(minimum risk) to D(maximum risk). The credit risk rating tool incorporates and includes possible factors of risk for determining the credit rating of the borrower. The risk could be internal and specific to a company, the industry in which the company is operating or the entire economy and can influence the repayment capacity and willingness of the company. The credit risk rating tool considers the following broad areas in evaluating the default risk of a borrower: 1. Financials 2. Business performance 3. Industry outlook 4. Quality of management 5. Conduct of account The tool focuses on these areas for assessing the credit risk of the company. These areas are divided into several sub- areas and each sub areas is further divided into a number of parameters. Scores are assigned to each of the parameters in the different sections on a scale of 0 (poor) to 4(excellent) up to two decimal points. Scoring of some of these parameters is subjective while for others it is done on the basis of pre defined objective criteria.

SIP 2012

The scores given to the individual parameters multiply by allocated weights are aggregated and a composite score for the company is arrived at in percentage terms. Weights are assigned to different parameters based on their importance. The overall percentage score obtained is then translated into a rating on a scale from AAA to D according to a pre- defined range as under:

Score Obtained
Above 80.00 Above 77.50 upto 80.00 Above 72.50 upto 77.50 Above 70.00 upto 72.50 Above 67.50 upto 70.00 Above 62.50 upto 67.50 Above 60.00 upto 62.50 Above 57.50 upto 60.00 Above 52.50 upto 57.50 Above 50.00 upto 52.50 Above 47.50 upto 50.00 Above 42.50 upto 47.50 Above 40.00 upto 42.50 Above 30.00 upto 40.00 30.00 and below

Factors to be considered in rating: 1. Tool consists of several qualitative parameters that are to be evaluated subjectively. It is therefore necessary to be adequately familiar with the company and the industry. Information should be collected about the company from all possible sources to conduct this exercise accurately. 2. The data used to rate company should be annualized and comparable before it is used for rating purposes. While evaluating a company against a industry the following points should be kept in mind: a. The companys value should only be compared with peers.

Drafted By:Ankit Koolwal, 1121506, CHRIST UNIVERSITY, BANGALORE

31

SIP 2012

b. Size/ capacity/ volume are inductive factors in selecting peers. c. The sample of companies chosen for industry comparison should be identical. d. The number of companies in sample should be reasonable. e. The sample size should be atleast 5 companies which are in operating conditions. f. For companies where industry data is not available, data for other comparable industries can be used. g. In case latest data of peers is not available then the last available data which is no more than 1 year old may be taken. 3. Wherever a particular parameter is not applicable, no score should be given and it should be made NA so that its score gets distributed in other parameters of that section. 4. For multi divisional companies evaluation should be done separately for each business. 5. The CPRMD, head office will provide the industry score to be used for all major industries and till then it may be assigned as 50%.

The rating is divided into 5 areas which consists of sub-areas with several parameters under each sub area. These areas are: 1. Financial strength 2. Business performance 3. Industry outlook 4. Management evaluation 5. Conduct of account

1. Financial strength: It indicates the health of the company and the potential risk involved in lending to the company. The financial strength may be assessed by a. analyzing past performance

b. its trend c. its expected future performance and risk d. subjective assessment of quality of financial performance.

Within these areas parameters are defined. These parameters are taken from financial statements viz. balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement etc. of the company. Scores are assigned to the parameters and they are combined to arrive at a score for each of the above areas. These computed scores are then combined according to assigned weights to arrive at the cumulative financial score. The parameters under each category are:

a. Past performance

These factors determines the ability of the company to generate funds to repay its debts. It is assessed by two sub areas: a. operating efficiency b. market position Within these areas parameters are defined separately for services and manufacturing sector. Scores are assigned to the parameters and they are combined to arrive at a score for each of the above areas. These computed scores are then combined according to assigned weights to arrive at the cumulative score for the company on business performance. The parameter under each category are:

3. Industry Outlook: Rating cannot be assessed without considering with the industry in which the company is operating. Two companies in different industries would have different credit worthiness depending on the outlook for their industries. The industry rating is used to adjust the score on business performance. The CPRMD provides the industry score to be used for all major industries till which it is assigned as 50%. The parameters under this are: Expected industry growth rate Capital market perception Regulatory framework tax concession - tariff protection Industry cyclicality Demand supply mismatch Financial performance of industry return on capital employed - price stability - operating profit margins - earning stability Technology used and its obsolescence Threat from environmental factors Threat from globalization Structural attractiveness supplier power - buyer power - threat of product substitution - threat of new entrant - competition within the industry

4. Management evaluation: The quality of management and management structure are important indicators of a companys credit risk. Evaluation of management is important not only due to its impact on companys performance which determines its capability to repay but also from the point of view of its integrity. This is because the intentions of management determine the willingness of the company to repay its debt. The two sub areas considered for this purpose are: a. Achievement of past targets b. Subjective assessment of management quality Within these areas parameters are defined separately for services and manufacturing sector. Scores are assigned to the parameters and they are combined to arrive at a score for each of the above areas. These computed scores are then combined according to assigned weights to arrive at the cumulative score for the company on business performance. The parameter under each category are:

a. Achievement of targets
Achievement of sales target Achievement of PBT

b. Subjective assessment of management


Management set up and corporate governance Commitment and sincerity Track record in execution of projects Track record in debt repayment Track record in industrial relations Financial strength/ flexibility/ group support Capital market perception

5. Conduct of account : It refers to how the borrowers existing accounts with our bank as also with other banks are being conducted and whether any problem are being faced. It provides an useful indication about the ability and willingness of the borrower to meet his obligations.

The evaluation of conduct of account is done on basis of its PMS rank or PMS index score. The PMS rank is used as an input in credit rating model. It is converted into a scale of 0 to 4 according to the table for computation. PMS rank 8-10 6-7 4-5 3 1-2 SCORE 0 1 2 3 4

For companies which have not been banking with PNB earlier, the PMS score is not available. For such companies the aspect of conduct of account be ignored and the remaining score should be scaled upto 100 and the rating assigned accordingly.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Earlier, there was a noticeable risk that was associated with the loans provided by the banks. But due high competition and high profitability motive, banks keep on providing loans to the customers without any deep study of the background of the customer (corporate). This in return, sometimes, created problems of financial losses, downfall in market value and even affected the regular working of bank because of large amounts of NPAs. These actions lead to the downfall of banking and financial sector, so a need of proper management of risk aroused. This need gave rise to the concept of credit appraisal and risk analysis. This process helps the bankers to provide loans to the corporate with the minimum risk of failure.

56

SIP 2012

positive growth momentum on the strong fundamentals of domestic demand from construction, automobile and infrastructure sectors. Keeping in view the past trends of group and past experience of the promoter of the company, the estimate/ projection of turnover is achievable and can be accepted.

d. Profitability : For the year 2011-12 the Company has achieved net profit of Rs. 12.55 Crores (Prov.) as against estimate of Rs.11.44 Crores. The company has estimated the before tax net profit for the financial year 2012-13 & 2013-14 at Rs. 23.73 Cr. & Rs.32.10 Cr. The profit of the company will increase constantly with the increase in the turnover of the company.

Part II
1. Justification for working capital sanction:

The Company has explained the change in product mix. The Company has revised its estimates for turnover for the year 2011-12 at Rs.672.63 crores and requested for fund based working capital requirement of Rs.90.00 Crores. Also for the year 2012-13 Company has projected a turnover of Rs.897.42 crores and requested for fund based working capital of Rs.125.00 crores. There has been a surge in the demand of Stainless steel products. The future demand for stainless steel is also likely to be determined favourably from all these sectors. Company has been able to improvise the product mix from 10% in the year 2008-09 to 26% in the year 2010-11. Companys aim is to achieve 40-45% share of value added products in the

2. Justification for Non Fund based limits

a. Letter of credit The Company has informed that they will be procuring MS/SS Scrap and other Ferro alloys on a regular basis for manufacturing of higher grades of steels and accordingly require higher LC Limits(Inland/Foreign) and requested for RS.75.00 Crores limits for the year 2012-13. b. Bank guarantee Company has informed that one or two regular suppliers (TATA STEEL) who was doing business on cash basis have agreed to extend credit period provided Company will be able to submit Bank Guarantee. Total value of material (Ferro alloys/Billets etc) procured from Tata Steel on monthly basis will be Rs.5.00-10.00 crores. Accordingly value of BG required for will be Rs.10.00 to 12.00 crores valid for at least one year to maintain regular supply of material. Balance Rs.3.00-5.00 crores limit will be required in the normal course of business for giving guarantees to Govt. Departments etc.

c. Justification for term loan In view of good demand scenario Company has now decided to improvise the product mix accordingly to fetch better realization. As a step toward this Company has decided to add 1 no. new furnace and to increase the SS Melting Capacity from existing 40000 TPA to 84000 TPA and to modernize the existing wire rod mill to international standards and also to enhance the existing rolling capacity of wire rod mill from 85,000 TPA to 1,10,000 TPA and

SIP 2012

The performance and productivity of any process primarily depend upon the quality of various raw materials. In addition to the above, it is also imperative that the raw materials should meet the specific quality requirement demanded by the process as well as the equipment selected and technology adopted. The other important criteria for raw materials are the cost of transportation. As already stated that Company has an integrated steel manufacturing unit At Sambalpur wherein M S Billets are manufactured which is a basic raw material for manufacturing of TMT Bars at Ghaziabad unit. Ghaziabad unit is also having Steel Melting Shop with 40000 TPA. Main raw materials for manufacture are Shredded Scrap, Ferro Alloys etc. Ferro Alloys are procured from renowned manufacturers and Company has been dealing with them for the last so many years. Scrap is procured indigenously as well as from out side India. For the proposed expansion for manufacture of higher grades of Stainless Steel Products Company wishes to import the raw materials to manufacture quality products. Company does not foresee any problem in procurement due to long term relationship enjoyed with world renowned Scrap Dealers. With ICD facility at Loni and Dadri, its going to be cost effective to import raw materials directly. In view of existing steel manufacturing facilities at Sambalpur as well as Ghaziabad unit being very near to the market Company do not foresee any problem in getting the raw material for the proposed enhancement in capacity. Water At present Ghaziabad unit is having 3 nos. bore wells which are more than sufficient for the existing operations. Sufficient ground water is also available in and around area and the unit is not likely to face any difficulty in meeting its water requirement. Power The company already has 13.5 MVA load from UPSEB. Total power requirement after the proposed expansion will be 18500 KVA (18.5 MVA). Extra load required for the proposed expansion will also be taken from UPSEB. Manufacturing Process Company has been in this line of activity for the last more than 40 years and has proven manufacturing process for both TMT Bars as well as steel melting shop and has been upgraded as per the latest technology.

facilities and BR + 3.25% for WC limits. Company has requested that they may not be able to pay higher rate (BR+4.25% as applicable) as this will lead to existing members also start charging higher rate and this will affect the profitability of the company. The Company therefore requested us to fall in line with existing banks and charge ROI at BR+ 2.75% inclusive of term premium for TL and BR + 3.25% for WC limits which has been accepted as the applicable ROI.

4. SWOT

Strengths 1. Strong Management team with professional background and rich industrial experience of the promoters and its family members and a strong exposure in steel industry. 2. Company proposes to set up/upgrade latest technology based imported as well indigenous machinery. The proposed machines & suppliers are tested & tried by the Company as well as other group companies and the proposed suppliers enjoy good reputation in the market. 3. The existing location on which proposed expansion will be implemented is in an industrial area and by the side of National Highway-24 and all types of Infrastructure facilities are available nearby. 4. The factory premise is within 1KM from Power Grid and presently power in the unit is supplied from an independent feeder and continuous power supply is available. 5. The Unit has a dedicated compressed natural gas pipe line from GAIL with a capacity of 27000 Cu.m. 6. Proximity to market, quick delivery in small lots. 7. The company has adopted internationally proven technologies to manufacture its products.

Weakness: 1. Other big player in the steel industry can give tough competition. 2. Change in the govt. policy for steel industry may affect the profitability unit. 3. Rolling Mill industry is high turnover and low margins industry.

SIP 2012

4. Fluctuating prices of raw materials and finished goods.

Opportunity: 1. The unit is already set in 1971 and has a strong network of dealers. The RATHI brand is an established brand for the last more than 50 years. The unit after expansion will not face any problem in marketing its products. 2. The focus of the Central government on road projects (NHDP, PMGSY and PMBJP) and the emphasis of the government on irrigation and water supply projects are expected to give fillip to the construction industry. 3. Combining the investments in the key sectors (steel, aluminum, paper, cement, petrochemicals, textiles, and oil and gas), the industrial investments are expected to increase by 70% over the next 5 years, as compared with that in the past 5 years. This massive investment is expected to result in construction demand of around Rs.100 billion from industrial projects (assuming civil construction to account for nearly 25% of the total capital cost of the projects)

Threats: 1. Frequent fluctuation in prices of Steel which may affect the profitability of the Projects. 2. Big Players like SAIL and Jindals are ramping up the Capacity of SS Products. 3. The Fortunes of the Steel Industry are closely linked to that of the economy in general and infrastructure in particular. 4. Industry is highly cyclic in nature with high mortality rates. 5. Change in the government policies related to the construction/infrastructure industry will have direct impact on Companys performance. 6.

Recommendations:
On examining the proposal it has been found out that: The management of the company is well experienced. The company has been in operation for past 40 years and has been earning profits continuously. Though there were several issues in the proposal but those has been sort out by the company. The company has been consistent in its performance and payment of its obligations. The rating obtained for the company is PNB-BB which indicates average risk. Justifications for both the working capital and term loan has been examined and accepted with terms and conditions. All the ratios are near to benchmarks and those with variations are justified with acceptable justifications. The financial position of the company is satisfactory.

Keeping in view these points, we recommend: 1. Sanction of working capital of 50 Cr. at BR(10.50%) + 3.25% rate of interst. 2. Sanction of term loan of 45 Cr. at BR + 2.75% + Term Premium. 3. Release the facilities against execution individual documentation subject to full tie up without waiting for NOC from existing bankers.

DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS


After going through all the methodology it has been found that risk is the center most part of the analysis and basis for the decision of the bank. All the analysis is being done to generate a grade, which represents the intensity of risk, that helps in determining the condition of the corporate applying for loan. The whole process of credit appraisal helps in providing a suitable measure to minimize the risk due to non repayment of loan to the bank. This is just a preventive measure not the corrective measure. In the credit appraisal process we use different risk analysis such as financial risk, industry risk, management risk, project risk etc. to get to the final step of generating the ratings which then aids in decision making. Several ratios such as current ratio, debt equity ratio, debt service coverage ratio etc. are calculated and analysed w.r.t. benchmarks in order to understand the credit worthiness of the clients. The bank analyses all the 5 Ps in order to have a 360 degree view of the client.

This study has helped me to greatly enhance my knowledge. I learnt to implement my theoretical financial knowledge practically during the working capital finance and term loan assessment. I learnt that it is not only the financial aspect that is necessary to analyze the credit worthiness of the client but other aspects such as managerial aspect, technical aspect etc. are equally important. I learnt the importance of financial ratios in assessing the clients. I also learnt the credit appraisal process followed in PNB. I also learnt the application and working of PNB TRAC software for calculating the rating of the clients. PNB TRAC is one of the best rating software present for estimating the rank of clients. I learnt the calculations of maximum permissible bank finance to determine the amount of loan to be passed for a specific client. At PNB priority is given to fresh or new clients over the existing clients proposing for renewals.

SUGGESTIONS
In the rating model there is constant parameters with constant weightages irrespective of the company and the industry in which it operates. Weightage should be assigned to parameters according to the industry in which the company operates. Rating should be performed when calculating the worthiness of the client since the previous rating does not take into account the short term drastic changes such as price level changes etc. The rating model should have some sort of mechanism to prioritize sectors according to their risk content. Since it is a very tedious task to maintain so much documents and files of the clients, an electronic database can be designed to manage the files in systematic order.
