Asset Products
(e.g. invoices, bills of lading and manifests), automated transaction monitoring may
not be feasible. The processing branch should assess these documents for
consistency with the terms of the trade transactions and require staff concerned to

invoicing I under invoicing I multiple invoicing I over or under quantity I payment by
I to third parties (other than exporter I importer) I countries not related to
manufacturing I processing of goods under reference I services provided in the name
of Computers I Software I IT products are to be looked in-to carefully as these are the
red flags for Money Laundering I Terrorist Financing
Management of information
A) Proper Record-keeping - Branch should ensure information obtained in the context
of Customer Due Diligence and recording the documents of the customer or the
Beneficial Owner, and transcription into the bank's own IT systems of the relevant
COD information.
The negotiable Instrument Act 1881 has been amended under sec
142 of the Act w.e.f. 15-06-2015.
The bill amends the Act to state that cases of bouncing of cheques u/s 138 can
be filed only in a court in whose jurisdiction the bank branch of the payee (Person
who received the cheque) lies. The Bill also amends of “Cheque in the
electronic form”. Under the Act it was defined as a cheque containing the exact
mirror image of a paper cheque and generated in a secure system using a digital
signature. The definition has been amended to mean a cheque drawn in
electronic medium using any computer resource and which is signed in a secure
system with a digital signature, or electronic system.
The Negotiable Instruments (Amendment) Act, 2018 ("Amendment Act")
was notified on August 02, 2018. The Key features of the amendments are –
• Section 143A has been inserted which essentially empowers the court
trying the offence under Section 138 of the Act, to direct the drawer of the
cheque to pay interim compensation to the Payee in situations of a
summary trial or summons case wherein the drawer pleads to be "not
guilty". This new provision seeks to cap interim compensation to 20%
of the cheque amount.
• Another provision introduced as Section 148 specifies that in case the
drawer files an appeal against his/her conviction, the Appellate court has
the power to direct the drawer to deposit a minimum amount of
20% of the fine or compensation that was awarded by the Trial court. The
Appellate Court may direct to release the amount deposited by the
appellant to the complainant at any time during the pendency of the
appeal.
Banker Customers Relationship - In Different Transactions
• In deposit accounts - Debtor and Creditor
• In loan accounts - Creditor and Debtor
• Safe custody – Bailee/Trustee and Bailor
• In Safe Deposit Vault – Lessor & Lessee or Licensor and Licensee
• Sale of third party products – Agent
• Collection of cheque for customer - Agent & Principal
4. Application for class action suit has to be filed before the National
Company Law Board Tribunal
(NCLT/Tribunal).
• Doctrine of I ndoor Ma n a ge me n t : As the Ltd Company has
distinct legal entity from its members and management, third parties
entering into any dealings with the company act through directors or
officers of the company. This principle implies that such third parties
needed to be protected against any internal procedural lapse or violation
due to which company cannot revoke such deals to their detriment. Such
third parties are entitled to presume that the persons acting on behalf of
the company are acting within the rules of the company and their powers
unless they have reason to believe that this is not so or this fact is
known to them at time of entering into the deal.
• Lifting the Corporate Veil: This legal principle involves that directors
or officers of the company cannot act fraudulently against third party and
company cannot set up the defence under the cloak of corporate entity
to avoid liability to third parties. Where the persons in power to take
decisions in the company commit fraud on outsiders, the court in
keeping with the equity and principles of natural justice will lift the
corporate veil and see inside as to who are wielding the power in the
company to make them accountable.
• Doctrine of Ultra Vires: The concept of ultra vires is to prevent
the company from acting in a controversial manner flouting all internal
rules. Acts which are ultra vires the articles of association or the board
of directors can be ratified by the company in general meeting. However
acts which are ultra vires the Memorandum of association or company
or the company law cannot be ratified and will be void. However third
parties who enter into such transactions without knowledge will get
protection provided they prove that they did not know that the
transaction was one which the company does not have authority to enter
into. However company will not be liable but the directors will be
personally liable.
• The transferee may have the option to acquire the interest which
the transferor subsequently acquires.
Rights of Mortgagor –
PML Act, 2002 & KYC Guidelines 2005 - Present guidelines of RBI to Banks
• Money laundering is the process where proceeds of a crime or
unlawful activity are filtered in such a way that the source of their
origin is disguised. Section 3 of Prevention of Money Laundering
Act,2002 (hereinafter referred to as PMLA) defines “money laundering”
as Whosoever attempts to indulge in any process or activity connected
proceeds of crime including its concealment, possession, acquisition or
use and projecting or claiming it as untainted property shall be guilty of
offence of money-laundering. As per PML amendment dated October 31,
2018, Banks must upload customer data for all new individual accounts
on the CKYCR within ten days from the date of account opening.
• Thus, the proceeds from criminal activities further propel crimes
and create a parallel economy and all of these transactions operate
being unnoticed.
• The PMLA also enumerates a list of offences which are classified as
‘Scheduled offences’ constitute as
‘crimes’.
• Single Document for Proof of Identity and Address- Earlier, as
part of the KYC process, one had to submit separate proofs for
address and identity. The RBI has done away with this. Now, a single
document with photograph and address of the applicant will suffice.
• Loans and other credit facilities which include fund based such as
cash credit, overdraft, cheque and bill purchase/discounting (both inland
and foreign), negotiation under reserve of documents tendered under
Letter of Credit (both inland and foreign) and non-fund based such as
establishment of inland and /or foreign Letter of Credit (D/P or D/A),
issuing of Guarantee (both inland and foreign), Inland or foreign bill
or cheque for collection, Co- acceptance and avalisation of bills, buyer’s
credit, etc.
• Merchant Services.
The new Act proposes a slew of measures and tightens the existing rules to
further safeguard consumer rights.
• The Banking Ombudsman may also deal with such other matter as
may be specified by the Reserve Bank from time to time.
• One can file a complaint before the Banking Ombudsman if the
reply is not received from the bank within a period of one month after the
bank concerned has received one’s representation, or the bank rejects
the complaint, or if the complainant is not satisfied with the reply given
by the bank.
Your complaint pertains to any policy you have taken in your capacity
as an individual and
The value of the claim including expenses claimed is not above Rs 30 lakhs.
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had, in May 2015, advised all public-sector and
select private and foreign banks to appoint Internal Ombudsman (IO) as an
independent authority to review complaints that were partially or wholly
rejected by the respective banks so as to minimize the need for the
customers to approach other fora for redressal. The IO shall, inter alia,
examine customer complaints which are in the nature of deficiency in
service on the part of the bank, (including those on the grounds of
complaints listed in Clause 8 of the Banking Ombudsman Scheme,
2006) that are partly or wholly rejected by the bank.
Grounds of complaints?
a. If not covered under the Scheme & not pertaining to the grounds of
complaint specified under Clause 8 of the Scheme.
b. If one has not approached the System Participant concerned in the first
instance for redressal of the grievance.
c. If one has not made the complaint within one year from the date of
receipt of reply from the System Participant; or if no reply is received, and
the complaint to the Ombudsman is made after the lapse of more than one
year and one month from the date of complaint to the System Participant.
In exceptional circumstances as decided by the Ombudsman, a complaint
made after the period mentioned above may be accepted by the
Ombudsman, provided the complaint is made before the expiry of the
period of limitation prescribed under the Indian Limitation Act, 1963 for such
claims.
e. If the subject matter of the complaint is pending for disposal / has already
been dealt with at any other forum like court of law, consumer court etc.
f. If the complaint is for the same subject matter that was settled through
the office of the Ombudsman in any previous proceedings.
g. If the complaint is frivolous or vexatious.
h. The complaint falls under the disputes covered under Section 24 of the
Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007.
i. The complaint pertains to dispute arising from a transaction between
customers.

Capital
1. Capital Funds-Equity contribution o f o w n e r s . The b a s i c a
p p r o a c h o f capital adequacy framework is that a bank should have
sufficient capital to provide a stable resource to absorb any losses
arising from the risks in its business. Capital is divided into different
tiers according to the characteristics / qualities of each qualifying
instrument.For supervisory purposes capital is split into two categories:
Tier I and Tier II.
2. Common Equity Tier I (CET 1) Capital-A term used to refer to one
of the components of regulatory capital. It consists mainly of share
capital and disclosed reserves (minus goodwill, if any). Tier items are
deemed to be of the highest quality because they are fully available to
cover losses Hence it is also termed as core capital.
3. Additional Tier I Capital- In addition to commonequityTier I Capital
(CET I) Basel III has proposed Additional Tier I Capital (ATI) to the
extent of1.5% of the RWA (Risk Weightedassets).
This consists of Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares (PNCPS)
and such other eligible instruments as declared by RBI.
4. Tier II Capital-Refers to one of the components of regulatory
capital. Also known as supplementary capital, it consists of certain
reserves and certain t y p e s o f s u b o r d i n a t e d d e b t . Tier I I i t e m s
q u a l i f y a s r e g u l a t o r y capital to the extent that they can be used to
absorb losses arising from a Bank’s activities. Tier II's capital loss
absorption capacity is lower than that of Tier I capital.
1. Standardized approach (SA) - Under the SA, the banks use a risk-
weighting schedule for measuring the credit risk of its assets
by assigning risk weights based on the rating assigned by the
external credit rating agencies.
2. Internal rating based approach (IRB) - The IRB approach, on
the other hand, allows banks to use their own
internal ratings systems of counterparties and
exposures, which permit a finer differentiation of risk for various
exposures and hence delivers capital requirements that
are better aligned to the degree of risks.
Liquidity Risk: BCBS had observed that one of the factors for the
recent financial crisis were due to inaccurate and ineffective
management of Liquidity Risk. To overcome this , BCBS had come out
with two ratios – Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Net Stable Funding Ratio
(NSFR).
❖ The Net Stable Funding Ratio: This ratio aims at promoting medium to
long term structure funding of assets and activities of the Banks.
BCBS aims to trial this ratio from 2012 and makes it mandatory in
January 2018. In view of the ongoing stress on account of COVID-19, it
has been decided to defer the implementation of NSFR guidelines by a
further period of six months. Accordingly, the NSFR Guidelines shall
come into effect from October 1, 2021.
Those with CRAR of more than 6.25 per cent but less than 7.75 per cent fall in
the second threshold. In case a bank’s common equity Tier 1 (the bare
minimum capital under CRAR) falls below 3.625 per cent, it gets categorised under
the third threshold level.Banks that have a net NPA of 6 per cent or more but less
than 9 per cent fall under threshold 1, and those with 12 per cent or more fall under
the third threshold level.
On profitability, banks with negative return on assets for two, three and four
consecutive years fall under threshold 1, threshold 2 and threshold 3, respectively.
For the housing loans sanctioned prior to October 16. 2020, the extant
guidelines, based on both size of the loan as well as the LTV ratio,
will continue to be applicable as hitherto -RBI, in its second bi-monthly
monetary policy statement 2017-18, revised the LTV ratio, Risk
Weight and Standard Asset Provisioning rates, as under, for loans
sanctioned on or after June 7, 2017:
Bank’s re-capitalisation:
Bank recapitalisation, as the name suggests, means recapitalising banks with new
capital to improve their balance sheet. The government, using different instruments,
infuses capital into banks undergoing credit crunch. Capital is the money invested by
shareholders in the business. Since the government is the biggest shareholder in
public sector banks, the responsibility of infusing capital majorly lies with the
government. The recapitalisation plan comes into action when banks get caught
in a situation where their liabilities are comparatively higher than their assets. The
liquidity with banks is a liability as it is the money deposited by customers, which needs
to be paid sooner or later. Due to this their balance-sheet weakens and banks find
it difficult to raise capital from the open market. The government, which is also the
biggest shareholder, can infuse capital in banks by either buying new shares or by
issuing bond.
In India, MSMEs contribute nearly 8% of the country's GDP, around 45% of the
manufacturing output, and approximately 40% of the country's exports. The
contribution of the sector in the economy is currently constrained due to several

below:
a) Policy and institutional interventions
b) Accelerating growth and enabling formalization

the credit cap of Rs.200 lakhs.
iv. The credit facility has been recalled and the recovery proceedings have been
initiated under due process of law. Mere issuance of recall notice under SARFAESI
Act 2002 cannot be construed as initiation of legal proceedings for purpose of
preferment of claim under Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS). Banks are advised to
take further action as -contained in Section 13 (4) of the above Act wherein a secured
creditor can take recourse to any one or more of the recovery measures before
submitting claims for first instalment of guaranteed amount. In case the Bank is not
in a position to take any of the action indicated in Section 13(4) of the aforesaid Act,
they may initiate fresh recovery proceeding under any other applicable law and seek
the claim for first instalment from the Trust.
v. For the purpose of the scheme, issue of notice under Lok Adalat is sufficient to
prove the legal proceedings have initiated for the cases where the total default is up
to 20 lakhs only.
vi. Waiver of Legal action in respect of smaller loans: CGTMSE has waived the pre-
condition of initiation of legal proceedings for invoking of guarantees where the
aggregate outstanding amount considered eligible for claim settlement by CGTMSE
does not exceed 250000 per claim effective for those claims lodged on or after
14.03.2018. Now, this waiver has been revised to 100,000 for those claims lodged
on or after 08.10.2021. The aggregate outstanding amount considered is the total
outstanding of all credit facilities of particular borrower as on NPA date.
a. CGTMSE shall pay 75% of the Guaranteed Amount (referred as "1st Claim") on
preferring of eligible claim, within 30 days, subject to claim being otherwise found in
order and complete in all respects. If 75% of the guaranteed amount is not paid within
30 days, CGTMSE shall pay interest on the eligible claim amount at the prevailing
Bank Rate for the period of delay beyond 30 days.
b. The balance 25% of the Guaranteed Amount (referred as "2 nd Claim" or "Final
Claim") will be paid by CGTMSE on conclusion of recovery proceedings.
c. On a claim being paid, the CGTMSE shall be deemed to have been discharged
from all its liabilities on account of the guarantee in force in respect of the borrower
concerned.
d. In the event of default, the lending institution shall exercise its rights, if any, to take
over the assets of the borrowers and the amount realized, if any, from the sale of
such assets or otherwise shall first be remitted in full after adjusting the cost incurred
by the Bank for recovery-of the amount.
CGTMSE shall appropriate the same towards the pending service fee, penal interest
and other charges due to CGTMSE, if any, in respect of the concerned credit facility.
Only thereafter claim for the remaining 25% of the guaranteed amount may be made.
e. The Bank shall be liable to refund the claim released by the CGTMSE together
with penal interest at the rate of 4% above the prevailing Bank Rate, if such a recall
is made by the Trust in the event of serious deficiencies having existed in the matter
of appraisal / renewal / follow-up / conduct of the credit facility or where lodgement
of the claim was more than once or where there existed suppression of any material
information on part of the lending institutions for the settlement of claims. Bank shall
pay such penal interest, when demanded by the Trust, from the date of the initial
release of the claim by the Trust to the date of refund of the claim. Finally, the loss
will be shared by CGTMSE and Bank in the proportion of 50%/ 75%/ 80%/ 85% and
50%/ 25%/ 20%/ 15% respectively i.e. based on extent of guarantee cover obtained.
CGTMSE is making all claims/refund payments through RTGS/NEFT system.
The 1st Claim amount received from CGTMSE will have to be kept in Sundry Credits
and only after the recovery efforts are exhausted and claim finally settled, the amount
may be appropriated to the borrowers' loan account in terms of the agreement that
the Bank has entered into with CGTMSE / the rules of the Government for the same

RBI has permitted Banks to charge Spread for two components 1. Business Strategy
Spread and 2. Credit Risk Premium (Credit Spread) over and above applicable MCLR.
The final rate of Interest shall be as under:-
Rate of Interest = MCLR + Business Strategy spread + Credit Risk Premium.
Whenever a borrower's credit requirements exceed 50% of the exposure ceiling or Rs.100
crores whichever is higher, borrower would be encouraged to scout for another
Term Exposure
The aggregate of domestic term exposure in the form of term loans, deferred payment
guarantees, term letters of credit , non-convertible debentures and other investments in
corporate debt instruments (including redeemable preference shares) should not exceed
50% of the total domestic credit exposure of the Bank.
The Bank would assume exposures with an initial maturity of 10 years or less for industry,
trade or business as also in the personal segment.
In the agricultural segment and also for infrastructure projects, the maximum initial maturity
could extend upto 25 years.
A further exception in this regard is retail loan for financing houses etc. where a clear cut
scheme has been evolved for granting loans for long maturity periods.
In other cases where longer duration exposures are to be taken, the same may be
approved by the Management Committee.
Administrative Clearance
Normally, requests for credit facilities may be initiated at Branch / Zonal Office / NBG /
Head Office level as per the instructions in force. In case of bigger proposals, the same
may be initiated in consultation with the delegatee within whose powers the limits fall for
sanction or higher authorities. The highlights of the revised "New Business Group
Clearance" guidelines is as under -
1. ACC (Administrative Clearance Committee) at NBG Offices will be authorized to approve
all New Business Clearances from Rs.5 crores and upto Rs.35 crores subject to -
• Maximum of NBGACC level sanction and -
• The proposal have at least entry level ratings (internal credit rating)
• Risk Weight of 100% and better (as per external credit rating)
Except proposals pertaining to NBFC, Commercial Real Estate sector and Infrastructure
and other sectors as per respective Policy, wherein the branches / offices are required
to obtain the ACC clearances at HO in case of new /additional limits.
2. All proposals > Rs.35 crores and exposure to sensitive sector as mentioned above,
to be considered by ACC at Head Office.
TENURE OF CREDIT
As a commercial bank, we should have a proper mix of short (up to one year), medium
(one to three years) and long term (three years and above) exposures. Ideally exposure
within the short and medium term tenure would be desirable especially in view of the
reducing maturity of term deposits.
The asset liability match is monitored by the Asset Liability Committee of the Bank. The
ALM Committee decides a suitable cap on term exposure in relation to the total credit
exposure of the Bank .The longer the term of the credit, the greater the uncertainty and
the attendant risks. The Bank is essentially in the short term market and is not expected
to assume very long term exposures.
Maximum repayment period for term loans in case of infrastructure projects/core
industries shall be 25 years including initial moratorium period and 10 years in case of
non-infrastructure projects, including initial moratorium period. A further exception could
be made in regard to personal loans for financing houses etc. where a clear cut scheme
has been evolved for granting loans for longer maturity periods.
In cases where the tenure need to be exceeded for reasons like high cost of project
specific approval of the sanctioning authority for such elongated periods must be
obtained.
CREDIT EXPANSION/ACQUISITION
Primary Acquisition
These are direct credit acquisitions through marketing efforts, subject to extant
guidelines. An asset may be acquired by us as sole banker or through consortium or
multiple banking arrangements or syndication.
Direct acquisition through robust marketing efforts, lead generation, proper due diligence,
good turnaround time and a effective credit delivery mechanism are the cornerstones of
direct acquisition.
Secondary Acquisition
Takeover of sound and remunerative accounts maybe considered with proper
verification of past records keeping in mind that most corporates and other entities are
no longer bound by traditional alignment with a bank, due to past connections. Guidelines
in this regard will be laid down by the Board or Management Committee of the Board
from time to time.
WORKING CAPITAL
We may continue to adopt the three extant methods of assessment of working capital
limits as follows:
Working Capital Limits upto Rs.5 crores from the banking system
1. Turnover method.
Working Capital Limits for more than Rs.5 crores from the banking system
Two methods are available under this category –
(i) Holding level/MPBF and
(ii) Cash budget method.
TURNOVER METHOD
i) This method may be applicable to all borrowers enjoying fund-based working capital
credit limits upto and inclusive of Rs.5 crores with the banking system. The working
capital requirements of the borrower may be computed at 25% of the projected annual
turnover of which at least four-fifth (i.e. 20% of the projected annual turnover) should be
provided by the bank as working capital finance, and balance one-fifth (i.e. 5% of the
projected annual turnover) contributed by the borrower, as margin towards working
capital.
ii) These guidelines have been formulated assuming average production/ business cycle
of 3 months. In reality, this cycle could be longer or shorter. The borrower’s working
capital requirement may also be assessed on the basis of traditional approach of
production/business cycle and limits may be considered in excess of 20% of the
projected annual turnover wherever warranted due to longer cycle, keeping a minimum
margin of one-fifth of the working capital requirements. On the other hand, in case of
shorter production/ business cycle, working capital limits at 20% of the projected annual
turnover may be sanctioned and actual drawing should be allowed on the basis of
drawing power after excluding unpaid stocks/stocks acquired under D/A L/C.
MPBF can also be worked out on the basis of Second Method as under:
a. MPBF = Working Capital Gap – 25% of Total Current Assets
Or
b. MPBF = Working Capital Gap - Actual/ Projected NWC
Borrowers enjoying working capital limits in excess of Rs.5 crore may be given option to
adopt the Cash Budgeting Method at the discretion of the Bank. In case such borrowers
choose the Cash Budget System of lending, they have to satisfy the Bank that they have
necessary infrastructure in place to submit the required information periodically in time.
The scope of internal MIS should be satisfactory and commensurate with the level of
operations. The borrower must have a finance professional and computerised
environment.
Under this method, the peak level cash deficit will be the level of total working capital
finance to be extended to the borrower by the banking system. The peak level cash
deficit will be ascertained from the projected Cash Budget Statement submitted by the
borrower.
Assessment of working capital requirements may be done on the basis of the annual
projected Cash Budget Statement comprising of projected receipts and payments for the
next 12 months on account of (i) Business Operations, (ii) Non-business Operations, (iii)
Cash flow from capital accounts and (iv) Sundry items.
In the case of Services Industry, Infrastructure, IT, etc. the limits computed may not be
supported by drawing power due to the nature of business. e.g. in the case of a logistics
company operating a fleet of trucks, major part of working capital funds may be utilized
for salary, lease rentals, fuel, toll etc. There may not be inventory except spares,
consumables etc. However there may be receivables in the books. Hence, the working
capital limits may have unsecured portion. Branches should therefore structure the limits
appropriately and also go by delegation applicable to unsecured/partly secured limits.
The borrowers enjoying working capital facilities of Rs.1.00 Crore and above from the
Banking system are required to submit following statement under QIS, in addition to
MSOD and usual stocks/book debts statements:-
QIS-l: Estimates for the ensuing quarter (to be submitted in the week preceding the
commencement of quarter to which it relates).
QIS-Ill: Half yearly operating statements and Half Yearly funds flow statements
(Within 2 months from the close of half-year).
Financial Follow-up Report (FFR): FFR statement may be accepted from the borrowers
enjoying working capital limits under Consortium Arrangement, on monthly basis, issued
by State Bank of India/ Other Bank/ Other Fl wherever it is Lead Bank, to fall in line with
other lenders.
Any deviation from the accepted level and actual performance are required to be looked
into which will have impact on the operative limit. ln case of large variations, further
operations in the account will have to be permitted very judiciously.
Temporary overdrafts should not be allowed within first six months of the opening of
an account with us. However, in very emergent cases over limits not exceeding 30
days and ad-hoc limits for not exceeding 90 days may be considered. It should be
ensured that TOL/ Adhoc limit put together should not exceed 180 days in a financial
year (April to March) in a particular account.
Guarantees
Bank Guarantee is an indemnity letter in which the bank commits itself in writing to be
legally bound to pay a certain sum of money. The bank will pay if its party fails to
perform or if any other form of default occurs.
There are three parties involved in a Guarantee:
1. Applicant who is the Principal Debtor
2. Bank who stands as a Guarantor, and
3. The Beneficiary in whose favour, the guarantee has to be issued by the bank.
Factors considered by Banks for appraisal of Bank Guarantee limit:
1) Purpose:
I. Financial:
1) In favour of customs/Excise/Tax authorities towards tax/duties payment etc.
2) Favouring courts for release of amounts
3) for guaranteeing loan repayments
II. Performance:
Guarantees may continue to be issued in Paper Form and delivered by issuing Banks
to beneficiary/applicant as being done presently. However, it addition to it, a separate
advise of the BG to be sent to the advising bank through SFMS only after which paper
BG could become operative.
LETTER OF CREDIT
A Letter of credit (Documentary Credit) is an instrument, which can be used for settling
the trade payments. It may be defined as follows:
“Credit means any arrangement, however, named or described, that is irrevocable and
thereby constitutes a definite undertaking of the issuing bank to honour* a complying
presentation.”
* Honour means:
a. To pay at sight if the credit is available by Sight payment.
b. To incur a deferred payment undertaking and pay at maturity if the credit is
available by deferred payment.
c. To accept a bill of exchange (‘draft’) drawn by the beneficiary and pay at maturity
if the credit is available by acceptance.
In common parlance, documentary credit is like a bank guarantee except that the bank
guarantee covers a situation of non-performance of the contract (payment is made
when our customer does not perform as per the contract). Whereas a documentary
credit covers a situation where payment is made on performance of contract. From
the definition, we can derive five important features of documentary credits, viz.:
• It is an irrevocable undertaking in writing
• Given by a Bank called the Opening Bank
• On behalf of its customer who is the importer or buyer
• To honour bills drawn by a third party who may be the beneficiary or the transferee
under the credit, subject to compliance with terms and conditions of the credit
I. Opener (Importer/Buyer): means the party on whose request the credit is issued.
II. Issuing Bank: means the bank that issued a credit at the request of an applicant or
on its own behalf.
III. Advising Bank: means a bank that advises the credit at the request of the issuing
bank.
IV. Beneficiary (seller/ exporter): means the party in whose favor the credit is issued
V. Nominated Bank: means the bank, with which the credit is available or any bank
in the case of a credit available with any bank.
VI. Confirming Bank: means the bank which guarantees honouring of bills by the
Opening Bank under the credit i.e. if the Opening Bank fails for any reason to
honour the bills, Confirming Bank honours the same, wherever available.
VII. Reimbursing Bank: the bank which pays claims made by the nominated bank after
negotiating bills drawn by the exporter under the credit.
Modes of Banking Arrangement
Consortium advances mean advancing loans to a borrower by two or more banks jointly
by forming consortium. Under consortium financing, several banks (or financial
institutions) finance a single borrower with common appraisal, common documentation,
joint supervision and follow-up exercises. Documentation shall be based on single
window concept and the same will be undertaken by the lead bank. The bank with the
highest share in the consortium will be normally designated as Lead Bank or as decided
by the consortium.
Number of participating banks: Maximum 10 banks in case of fund based working capital
limits upto Rs.100 crores and Maximum 15 banks in case of limits above Rs.100 crores.
Bank has 2 segments of consortium accounts as:
i) Accounts where we are holding less than 10% share in consortium and
Based on the criteria of credit rating/risk weight of the account, the accounts where
internal rating is within entry level and external rating is 'A' and above, Branches should
endeavour to increase/maintain our share at 10% or more. However, in case of accounts
with deviation in entry level norms and risk weight is 100 or more, attempt would be made
to exit from the consortium in a time bound manner, on a case to case basis.
Syndication
Joint Lending Agreement (JLA) has been introduced as per Ministry of Finance
guidelines in July 2012 and the revised guidelines are in force since June 2013. The
scheme shall be applicable to all lending arrangements, with a single borrower with

Financial Statements
• Profit and Loss Account with all annexures- Profit & Loss Account is an account
in the books of an organization to which incomes and gains are credited and expenses
and losses debited, so as to show the net profit or loss over a given period. Thus, it is
a financial statement showing a company's net profit or loss during a given period.
Long Term Liabilities: All loans which are not repayable within one year from the
date of balance sheet are grouped under long term liabilities. Under long term liabilities
the items normally appear are: Term borrowings from banks, Term borrowings from
other term lending institutions, Debentures, Deferred payment credits, fixed deposits,
and unsecured loan not payable within 12 months period.
Current Liabilities: All liabilities which are repayable within a period of one year are
grouped under current liabilities.
Major items that come under current liabilities are: Short term borrowings (including
bills purchased & discounted) from (a) Banks (b) Others , Unsecured loans
payable within a year , Public deposits maturing within one year, Sundry creditors
(Trade) for raw material and consumable stores and spares, Interest and other charges
accrued but not due for payment, Advance payments from customers, Deposit from
dealer, selling agents etc. (these deposits may be treated as term liabilities irrespective
of their tenure if such deposits are accepted to be repayable only when the dealership/

debentures, redeemable preference shares and long term deposits payable within one
year, Provident fund dues, Provision for taxation, Obligation towards workers
considered as statutory, Provision for dividend, Gratuity payable within one year, Other

Fixed Assets: Fixed assets are meant for use in the business as permanent capital
assets. These are otherwise known as block assets. It includes land, building, plant &
machinery, furniture & fixtures, vehicles etc. They also include capital work in progress.
Fixed asset of one concern may be a current asset for another. A sewing machine is
a fixed asset for the tailor but for the company manufacturing sewing machines, it is a
current asset.
Current Assets : Current assets are the liquid assets in a business concern
determining the solvency of it and are held for sale or conversion into cash during the
operating cycle of the business or with in twelve month. The operating cycle of most
of the business enterprises is usually less than one year. As they are easily convertible
into cash, they are called liquid assets.
Items coming under current assets are: Cash and bank balances; Fixed deposits
pledged as margin for BG and LC, Receivables arising out of sales other than deferred
receivables (including bills purchased and discounted by bankers); Instalments of
deferred receivables due within one year; Raw materials and components used in the
process of manufacture including those in transit; Stocks in process including semi-
finished goods; Finished goods including goods in transit; Other consumable spares
(12 months’ consumption for imported items and 9 months’ consumption for
indigenous items may be treated as current assets for the purpose of assessment of
working capital requirements); Advance payment for tax; Pre-paid expenses;
Advances for purchase of raw materials, components & consumable stores; Monies
receivable from contracted sale of fixed assets during the next 12 months.
Non-Current Assets: Assets which are neither current in nature nor fixed in nature

above 6 months, unquoted investments, loans and advances to employees, officers
and directors, loans to and investments in subsidiaries, deferred receivables,
advances to suppliers of capital goods and contractors, non- consumable stores

business. It Includes a) Goodwill b) Patents & Trade Marks c) Copyrights d) Preliminary
& other formation expenses e) Development Expenses f) Deferred Revenue
Expenditure g) Bad & Doubtful Debts h) Carried forward loss etc.
• Debt equity Ratio: The total outside liabilities of the firm is divided by the Net worth
to compute this ratio. Again Net worth is calculated by Capital + Free Reserve –
intangible asset. In that sense, bankers do not take into account the intangible asset.
For us, capital means Capital minus intangible asset and we call it as Net Worth. An
acceptable ratio is maximum 3:1 as per Industry Norms. However, our bank accepts
it at 4.00. The main purpose of this ratio is to ascertain the relative financial stakes of
the creditor’s vis-à-vis the owners of an enterprises.
• Debt Service Coverage Ratio: This is calculated to assess the repayment capacity
of the unit out of the internal income generation. It is calculated at the time of
sanctioning a Term loan. It should be calculated for all the years till repayment. It
is calculated as the cash profit generated plus provision for interest divided by total
payment commitment. It is worked out as
(NET PROFIT + DEPRECIATION + INTEREST ON TERM LOAN) DIVIDED BY
(INTEREST ON TERM LOAN + INSTALMENT). Higher ratio represents higher
repayment Capacity.
• Interest Service Coverage Ratio (ISCR) : (PAT +Depreciation+ Interest)/ Interest.
• Net Profit/Sales%: This is computed as: Net profit / Sales*100. It shows the relation
between the final profits of the company to sales.
• Activity Ratios :
a) Inventory Turnover Ratio = Sales/ Avg. Stock ,
b) Debtor Turnover = Sale / Avg. Debtor ,
c) Debtor Velocity =Avg. Debtor / sales *12 or 365,
d) Creditor Velocity =Avg. Creditor / Purchases *12 or 365,
e) Raw Material Holding
= Stock of Raw material/ Raw Material Consumed* 12 or 365,
f) Stock In process holding = Stock of stock in process/Cost of Production*12.
Earnings
Net operating profit-Operating profit before provision minus provision for loan losses,
depreciation in investments, write off and other provisions.
Profit after tax (PAT)- Profit before tax – provision for tax.
Return on equity (ROE) - After Tax-Return on Equity (ROE) is a ratio relating net
profit (net income) to shareholders’ equity. Here the equity refers to share capital
reserves and surplus of the bank. Formula- Profit after tax/(Total equity + Total equity
at the end of previous year)/2}*100.
CIBIL Reports- If many enquiries are present in the report, the borrower may be
credit hungry, trying to obtain loan from other banks. Also take individual reports
of the directors and also group concerns to ensure that they do not have abnormal
debts and this company has not guaranteed the debts of such group
company.
Income Tax/Wealth Tax Returns- Fake income tax return frauds are on the
increase. Verification of the tax return is of utmost importance. Along with
acknowledgement, ask for tax paid challan and this can be verified online from
the site www.tin.tin.nsdl.com. Input challan identification number, BSR code of
bank/branch where tax remitted, amount and date. The online details should
match with what you have fed. In case of error it is sure that the challan is not
genuine. Also ask the borrower to generate his 26Q from the system on your
presence which should tally with what he has submitted. In case of audited
balance sheet ascertain the genuineness from the CA who audited the same.
Corrective Action Plan-The medicine depends upon the malady diagnosed. This
may include the following depending upon type of problem.
Holding on operations in the account for temporary aberration
Giving moratorium for repayment (delay in project implementation)
Rescheduling of instalments (ballooning repayment/postponement of
repayment)
Infusion of fresh capital by the Borrower
Converting pre sale (stock) finance to post sale (bills/book debts)
Considering additional long term loan
Restructuring of loans etc.
Special Mention Accounts (SMA)
RBI has come out with a frame work to identify early the distress in borrowal
accounts so that corrective action can be put in place before it is too late. The
classification of a borrowal account will be as follows:
SMA 0 – Where interest/principal are not overdue for more than 30 days
but showing signs of incipient sickness
SMA 1- Where interest /principal payment is overdue in between 31 to 60
days
SMA 2- Where principal/interest payment is more than 60 days but not more
than 90 days.
SASCL means System Asset Classification List NPA are marked through the
system. DC generates SASCL reports of the accounts which are likely to
become NPA on a particular date.
Overdue up to 90 days
In sufficient Credit
No Credit
Review Expired
Stock Expired
Percolation
If any condition could not be complied with, Brach should take approval for the
deviation from the Authority.

12-2004 should be prepared.
The check list should be kept along with other security documents.
Zonal Manager may reduce this CPA threshold limit at below Rs 50 Lakhs, as
he deems fit, considering the overall Credit Portfolio of the Zone and risk
perception in terms of compliance of Pre disbursement sanctioned terms.
CREDIT PROCESS AUDIT Audit was introduced in April,1999. The objective of CPA
is to ensure that the disbursing officer, before parting with the Bank's funds,
has taken all necessary measures for creation of security and compliance of pre
disbursement terms of sanction-:-. Further, the purpose of CPA is to ensure
verification of compliance of pre-disbursement terms of sanction by an independent
officer, not connected with the sanction/disbursement who is expected to point out
deficiencies, if any, in compliance at right time so that corrective measures can be
taken immediately to avoid possible damage
CPA 3 :-
To take care of compliance of post disbursement conditions.
Standard Account with limit of Rs 5.00 Crores and above( including NPA -
Restructured account) new review sanction. This would cover overseas
accounts also with threshold limit of USD 1 Million and above and its

IRAC norms were introduced by Narasimhan Committee in 1991 and made
applicable from 1993. Asset Classification is based on record of recovery and
not based on value of securities, worth of borrowers/guarantors.
I. Red Flagging of Accounts:
Presently. Branches reporting to ZO/NBG. With sanction limits Rs.50 crore and
above, the delegation of Red Flagging/Fraud examination of account is assigned
to HO FMG (Fraud Monitoring Group), while with sanction limits less than Rs.50crore
to FMG-NBG. However, in case of LCBs irrespective of amount the RFA approval is
done at HO-FMG.
As per RBI directives, Bank should act prudently and initiate appropriate steps
and complete the process of RFA/Fraud declaration within 180 days of first date of
RFA by any Bank in consortium and our Banks policy is in tune with the same.
However, as per DFS instructions (EASE compliance) the said procedures are to be
completed within 120 days.
II. FRAUD EXAMINATION
Once an account is Red flagged by HO-FMG or of NBG-FMG as the case may be in
respect Consortium accounts where our Bank is Leader of the consortium (or) sole
Banker, Forensic Auditor should be appointed by NBG in respect of Branches falling
under their control and DGM-Large Corporate for their respective Branches within 5
days of receipt of approved RFA memorandum by them from HO or NBG as the
case may be. Thereafter the audit firm assigned the Job of carrying out Forensic
Audit should complete the audit and submit the final report within a period of 90 days
from the date of allotment of Forensic Audit. The completion of audit within 90 days
of allotment should be a term of scope of audit and mentioned invariably in the
allotment letter. Thus a final decision on classification of the account as fraud or
Project Loans-
• Project loan for non-infra project will become NPA if it fails to commence commercial
production within 12 months of original DCCO (date of commencement of commercial
operations) or COD commercial operation date, unless it is restructured and fresh
DCCO is fixed which should not extend beyond 24 months of original DCCO.
• In case of Infra projects if the project fails to commence commercial operation within
2 years of original DCCO unless it is restructured and DCCO extended as follows:
▪ Project involving court cases another 2 years (total 4 years from original DCCO)
▪ In other cases for reasons beyond the control of promoters another 1 year
(Total 3 years from original DCCO). Mere extension of DCCO will also be
treated as restructuring if the fresh DCCO goes beyond the periods above.
• As per RBI guidelines w.e.f. 01.04.2015 asset classification in respect of restructured
advances, except change in DCCO in cases of infra and noninfra Project loans, cannot
be continued as standard and should be treated as NPA and provided for accordingly.
NPA Management Policy.
• All watch category accounts (30 to 90 days delinquency) appear in “SASCL”
report (System Asset Classification List). This should be followed up for recovery of
entire overdue. If record day is fast approaching and for some reasons, unable to
recover full overdue then at least minimum critical amount should be recovered to
avoid slippage during the record date like 31st march etc.This should be exception
rather than rule. This is Critical Amount Recovery Exercise) CARE.
• Once the account becomes NPA immediate action should be taken to recover the
amount by issuing SARFAESI notice wherever eligible.
Eligible accounts under SARFAESI –
Lok Adalat: Lok Adalat means ‘Peoples’ Court’. Power derived from Legal Services
Authorities Act 1987. There is no court fee payable when a matter is filed in a Lok
Adalat. It is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism. Generally compromise/avoid
legal procedures i.e. without going to court. Maximum amount
- Rs.20.00 lakhs. Suite filed cases, RC cases & pre litigation cases with consent of the
concerned District legal authorities can be heard. Lok Adalats are arranged by State
Authority, District Authority, Supreme Court Legal Services Committee, High Court

Presided over by retired judges, social activists, or other members of the legal
profession. The focus in Lok Adalats is on compromise. Award is made and is binding
on the parties. It is enforced as a decree of a civil court.
Reschedulement & Restructuring: Reschedulement is resorted to in cases where
borrower is unable to repay the loan as per original terms & conditions owing to
changes in the circumstances impacting cash flow in the business and his ability to
pay. Reschedulement implies extension of the repayment period of the loan or re-
phasing the periodicity of loan instalments. e.g. Instalment rephased from Monthly to
Quarterly. Reschedulement is resorted to in cases where borrower is unable to repay
the loan as per schedule. Reschedulement is resorted to because default would hurt
both the Borrower and the Bank. Restructuring implies altering the terms & conditions
of the loan so as to make it more favourable to the Borrower.
Examples of Restructuring are:-
b) After commencement of commercial production / operation but before the asset has
been classified as 'sub-standard'.
c) After commencement of commercial production / operation and the asset has been
classified as 'sub-standard' or 'doubtful'.
a. Any legal dispute due from other would be at the risk and responsibility of the
Borrower and the Company and Promoters has to undertake that the Bank has no
liability with regards to any dispute/ claims/ injunction etc.
b. In future, if any fraud is found, the same will be dealt with as per Bank's policy.
c. The name of Borrower / Company / firm will continue to appear in CIBIL records as
"Account closed under compromise / settled.

India is the second largest fish producing countries in the world and shares
7.58% to the global production, contributing 1.24% to India's Gross Value Added
(GVA) and 7.28%
(2018-19) to the agricultural GVA. The sector provides livelihood to about 25 million
fishers and fish farmers at the primary level and twice the number along the value
chain. As per master direction of Reserve Bank of India, Fishery has been classified
under Agriculture
sector (Allied activity).
Government of India, through Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and
Dairying, Department of Fisheries has launched an all India Centrally Sponsored
Scheme
"Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY)" as a part of "Atmanirbhar Bharat
Abhiyaan".
This circular supersedes earlier guidelines barring specifically issued under
Govt. schemes like PMMSY (HOBC 114/140 dated 30.06.2020).
Aquaculture is the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, algae, and other
organisms in all types of water environments.
Pisciculture- The breeding, rearing, and transplantation of fish by artificial means is
called pisciculture, in other words, fish farming.
Fishery-Fishery is the enterprise of raising or harvesting fish and other aquatic life.
There are three main types of fisheries viz. Marine fisheries, Inland fisheries and
brackish
water fisheries.
(A)Marine Fisheries: - It is mainly divided in three parts based on its fishing
operations and details are as under:-
1. In-Shore Fishing - In-shore fishing is confined to its operations in inshore
waters up to a depth of 9 miles.
2. Off-Shore Fishing - Off-shore fishing would extend beyond 10 miles up to 20
miles depth.
3. Deep-Sea fishing - lying beyond a depth of 20 miles from shore.
(B) Inland Fisheries:- Rivers, Dams, Tanks, ponds, lakes and swamps constitute a
very large part of the available water resources.
(C) Brackish water:- Brackish water is mixture of fresh and salty water which usually
occurs in estuaries.
1. Pre-stocking:
The pond is first cleaned by mechanical/ chemical removal of unwanted weeds
and
predatory fish
This is accomplished by repeated netting and sun drying or use of mahua cake
The toxic effect of mahua cake remains for 15 days in which fish is not to be
used for
human consumption
Lime is used to bring the pH of the pond/tank to the desired level as alkaline
ponds are more productive.
Lime increases the resistance of soil to parasites. It hastens organic
decomposition
2. Fertilization:
Fertilization of pond is an important means for intensifying fish culture by
increasing the natural productivity of the pond.
A combination of both Organic and Inorganic fertilizers may be used for best
results.
Organic manure to be applied after a gap of 03 days from the date of liming.
Inorganic fertilization to be undertaken after 15 days of organic manuring.
Organic manuring by use of cow dung ©5000kg/ha.
Inorganic fertilizers like urea, triple super phosphate depending on the soil
profile, type of fish and the climatic condition.
3. Stocking:
The pond will be ready for stocking after 15 days of application of fertilizers.
Fish fingerlings of 50-100 gm size (10cm size) should be used for stocking @
5000
nos. per hectare.
Fish can be fed with a mixture of rice bran and oilcakes in the ratio 4:1. The feed
should be placed on a feeding tray or in feeding bags and lowered to the pond
bottom to reduce the feed losses.
Drip, Sprinkler and Lift Irrigation System-The design, the equipment and
technique of replenishing the Soil Water deficit by applying irrigation water is referred
to as “Irrigation System”. Some of the irrigation systems are surface irrigation system,
drip irrigation system, sprinkler irrigation system and subsoil irrigation system.
Drip Irrigation-It involves slow application of water, drop by drop, as the name
signifies, to the root zone of crop. In this method, water is used very
economically since losses due to deep percolation are reduced to a minimum. In
most of the States subsidy is available for this investment.
Solar Pump-This is the present trend in energisation of the pumps. Here solar
photovoltaic cells are installed and connected to the electric pumps, its green
solutions, having very little expense for maintenance. Ministry of NRES gives
subsidy for installation of these pumps. We should encourage such investments as
solar power is abundant in India. Advances for installation of solar pumps are
classified under PS-Agriculture
A RUPAY credit card is issued for availing the limit. Passbook will contain the
name, address, particulars of land holding, borrowing limit/sub limits, validity
period etc.
Credit Limit: Entire production credit requirements of the farmer for the full
year, including the credit requirements for the ancillary activities related
to crop production such as maintenance of agricultural
machinery/implements, electricity charges etc., are taken into consideration
and 10% of limit towards cost escalation in scale of finance for every year is
added to determine the limit for the succeeding years (ie.
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th year), thus total requirement of credit for five years is
calculated, accordingly documents are also obtained for full amount of five
years..
The KCCs has interest subvention. As per the recent norms of Govt. of India,
interest subvention is not available to maintenance portion of KCC limit.
This has to kept in mind while arriving at KCC limit.

• Where subsidy is available, same should be treated as margin and no
further margin money should be insisted in the above-mentioned
margin norms except as provided in respective subsidy oriented schemes
like cold storage/rural godowns/hi-tech agri. products where subsidy is
back ended. Hence, normal margin needs to be maintained in such
schemes except employment oriented/Government sponsored schemes
