A The institution is basically sound in every respect. It gives no cause for Supervisory Concern
B The institution is fundamentally sound and its operations are satisfactory. It does reflect modest
weakness and for which the Supervisory response is limited to minor adjustment.
C The institution exhibits a combination of financial, operational or compliance weaknesses
ranging from moderately sever to unsatisfactory. Failure may only be a remote possibility, but the
institution gives cause for Supervisory Concern and requires more than normal Supervision to
address deficiencies.
D The institution has serious on of financial, operational or managerial weakness and warrants a
definite plan for corrective action. The institution requires Supervisory monitoring and financial
surveillance. IN critical cases that make the probability of failure high in the future, institutions
require urgent aid from its shareholders or financial assistance from other sources to avoid
liquidation or restructuring.
Note: Within the rating of A, B and C, +(Plus) or - signs have been added to reflect the comparative
ranking within the rating category.

Investments) to totalsheet items.
Assets The ratio of Gross/Net NPAs (including NPAs in Investments) to total Assets would
reveal the degree of impairment of assets in the balance sheet.
4 Ratio of Net NPAs Ratio of Net NPAs to Total Equity indicates
to Total Equity the equity cover for NPAs.
If the ratio is greater than unity, that particular bank is financing NPAs out of interest
paying liabilities.
This sort of funding pattern would adversely affect the profitability of banks.

5 Rating-wise In the context of interest rate deregulation and freedom given to banks to price their
details of assets and liabilities, most of the banks are prescribing spreads (risk premia) over
Standard their Base rate.
Advances The risk premia are being charged on the basis of inherent quality of borrowers as
revealed in their credit ratings.
With the objective of improving the return on advances, banks may dilute their
appraisal standards and let even low quality customers into the balance sheets.
This process leads to Adverse Selection and dilution of portfolio quality.
A larger proportion of borrowers in the higher end of spread over base rate would
boost the current interest income but could be viewed potentially as risk prone.
The rating-wise analysis of standard assets would facilitate
o to evaluate the portfolio quality.
o The migration analysis (movement of borrowers from higher to lower ratings
negative migration or lower to higher ratings positive migration) of borrowers is
now accepted as standard tool for evaluation of portfolio quality.
o The expected and unexpected loan losses are also estimated on the basis of
migration analysis.

6 Gap Analysis The deregulation of interest rates has exposed the banks to
market risk, especially interest rate risk.
The monitoring of mismatches in cash flows, repricing dates and
currency is going to be the top management/ supervisory focus
and the measure of gaps in different time buckets is required to
be done.
The gaps would reveal the potential loss/gain in NII/NIM on
account of changes in market interest rates.
The ratio of gaps to total Equity reveals the magnitude of risk
being borne and the ability to absorb the hit on capital.
RBI FRAMEWORK FOR PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION (PCA)
BY RBI FOR COMMERCIAL BANKS
The Reserve Bank has specified certain regulatory trigger points, as a part
of prompt corrective action (PCA) Framework, in terms of three parameters,
Capital to risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR),
Net non-performing assets (NPA) and
Return on Assets (RoA),
for initiation of certain
structured actions
discretionary actions
in respect of banks hitting such trigger points.
