PYQP & Practise Questions
NPA - Non Performing Asset
Mind Map
Summary
- Standard Asset (SA)
On this Loan Bank is Getting Regular Interest or the Bank is Able to Recover the Principal Amount
- Special Mention Account (SMA)
- Default of Loan from 1 Day to 90 Days)
- Types of SMA
- It is a loan which has not turned into NPA but is showing Incipient Stress
- Even Before Loan could turn into NPA, Bank has to take Corrective Actions
SMA 0 → < 30 Days
SMA 1 → 31 to 60 Days
SMA 2 → 61 to 90 Days
- Non Performing Assets (NPA)
- Default for more than 90 Days
- Types of Assets
- Sub Standard → > 90 Days && < 1 Year
- Doubtful Asset → > 1 Year
- Lost Asset → Auditors of Bank and RBI can declare them Lost Asset
Special Case of NPA for Agriculture Sector
- A Farmer in India can take two types of Loans
- Short Term Loans → < 1 Year
- Long Term Loans → > 1 Year
For Crops Which can be Harvested within 1 Year
Example: Rice, Wheat, Mustard, Millet, Tomato
For Crops Which can be Harvested within 2/3 Year
Example: Sugar Cane, Apricots, Horticulture Products, Plantation Crops like Tea Coffee Rubber
- Criteria for Loans for Agriculture Sector
- Short Term Loans
- If There is a Default on 2 or More Cropping Season
- Loan will be declared as NPA
- Long Term Loans
- If there is a Default on one or more cropping season
- Loan will be declared as NPA
Summary
PCR - Provisioning Coverage Ratio
- Why do we need Provisioning Coverage Ratio
- To Avoid Bank Run → RBI has Mandated Reserve Requirements like CRR and SLR
- CRR & SLR → % age of NDTL
- PCR → % age of its Profits
- How Much Profit Should it set aside. Depends upon
- Loan Amount
- Categories of Loan
- Standard Asset
- Sub Standard Asset
- Doubtful Asset
- Lost Asset
- Why is the Bank Asked to do so
To Withstand the Risk that Might Arrive from NPA’s
- A Case on PCR for a NPA
- Std Asset PCR is 0.25% to 0.4% of Loan Amount
- Agri - 0.35
- Industry - 0.25
- Sub Std Asset PCR is 15% of Loan Amount
- Doubtful Asset PCR is 25 to 40% of Loan Amount
- Lost Asset PCR is 100% of Loan Amount
Depending on Category of Loan, %age varies
- Disadvantage to Bank
- The Profit of Bank gets Locked Up
- This is a Issue for the Bank as it hampers the Cash Flow
- The Formula with Example
NET NPA Formula***
NET NPA = Gross NPA - Provisioning
The Maths of NPA
SR - Slippage Ratio
- What Percentage of My Standard Assets at the Start of the Financial Year Have turned into NPA
- SR Slippage Ratio = Fresh NPA During Year / Std Advances at the Start of Financial Year
- Note : NPA During the New Financial Year is Taken
Summary of Slippage Ratio
Mind Map - Fresh Accretion
Writing Off NPA
- Basic Data
- 2016 -17 → Gross NPA → Rs 16 Lac Crores
- 2021 -22 → Gross NPA → Rs 7 Lac Crores
- Reason for Reduction
- Recovering of NPA
- Write off Assets
- Reasons to Write Off Data
- Asset No Longer in the Balance Sheet of the Bank
- No Longer Accounted Under Gross NPA → Hence Gross NPA is Reduced
- No Provisioning Required → Profits of Banks are Further Freed Up
- Written of Assets as per Accounting Practises can be considered as Loss in Balance Sheet
Where As, Lost Asset cannot be Shown as Loss in Balance Sheet of the Bank
By Showing or Declaring Items as Loss by means of Written off Assets → Tax Liability is Reduced
Mind Maps
Difference Between Lost Assets and Written Off Assets
Restructuring of Loan
- It aims at making it easier for the company to repay the Loan by various methods
- Methods used are
- Method 1 - Reduce Principal Amount (Rs 80)
- Method 2 - Reduce Interest
- Method 3 - Extend Maturity Period
- Method 4 - Give Additional Loans
- Method 5 - Convert Debt into Equity
- Above Methods are allowed by RBI
Unethical Practises of Banks - Evergreening of Loans
Old Loan - 500 Crore
New Loan - 500 Crore to compensate Old Loan
Additional New Loan - 500 Crore to Compensate New Loan
Mind Map
Formula
Stressed Asset ⇒ NPA’s + Rescheduled Loans + Written Off Assets
Regulatory Forbearance
Forbearance Means Relaxation to Banks in Time of Economic Slowdown
Reality v/s Expectation
Reasons for Higher NPA
Mind Map
1. 2007-08 Credit Boom
- Period of 2004-05 was that of Credit Boom
- Currently in 2002 - We have Investment Rate of 30%
- At that Time GDP Growth Rate was High
- Due to Over Optimism we gave more Loans and Credit in the Market
2. Will Full Defaulters & Fugitive Economic Offender
3. Lacklustre Recovery of Loans by Banks - Problem wrt to DRT & SARFAESI → Hence IBC Came in
4. PSL - Loan Waiver by Government
5. Twin Balance Sheet Syndrome - Bank and Companies
6. Four Balance Sheets Problems - Bank, Infra Company, NBFC & Real Estate Company
Vicious Economic Cycle due to TBS ( Twin Balance Sheet Problem)
Reasons for Bad Loans
History of Mechanism to Recover NPA - DRT, SARFAESI, IBC
- Civil Courts - Narasimham Committee Recommendation - 8 to 10 Years
- DRT - Debt Recovery Tribunal - 4 to 5 Years
- SARFAESI - Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act
Avg Time - 3 to 4 Years
- IBC Code → Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016
- IBC can be triggered by both Banks and the Loan Taking Company
- Insolvency - I Declare that I am Bankrupt
- Bankruptcy - Company Declares that I am Bankrupt
- Bad Bank in the Form of
- NARCC - National Asset Reconstruction Company
- IDRC - India Debt Resolution Company Limited
Evolution of Framework to Deal with NPA
SARFAESI Act
- Method 1 - Enforcement of Security Interest
- Issue Notice of 60 Days to Defaulter to pay within the next 60 Days
- If not then, Bank can sell of assets of company and recover the loan
- Method 2 - Securitisation
- By Means of ARC’s - Asset Reconstruction Companies
- Bank Sells to ARC at a lower price than the NPA Amount
- Loss incurred by Bank in Selling the NPA = HAIRCUT
- Benefit of Bank
- Provisioning Capital Freed - Credit Inc - Profit Inc
- Something is Better than Nothing
- Banks decide that when the ARC will get involved
- Money is Paid in Two Parts
- Cash - 15%
- Security Receipts SR - 85%
- Now ARC takes over Assets of Jet Airways
- These Assets are managed to generate Profits
- These Profits are shared with the people who have the SR
- a Kind of Bond which is issued attached to a particular asset
- the return on SR might be risky or erratic
- there is no maturity period of a Security Receipt
- Keep it with Themselves
- Can sell it to Qualified Institutional Buyers
- QIB can be Other Banks
- QIB can be Big Financial Institutions
- QIB buy at the same rate as the Bank gets them from the ARC
- QIB cannot be Retail Investors
- Proposal to allow HNI People to be QIB
- QIB can be sold and brought by Another Eligible Buyers
- in Bond - Interest is Compulsory, in SR its not sure
- in SR - You cannot seek cash instead of SR like in a Bond
- Hence, Its a Hybrid
- Restructuring to Recover NPA
- Here by Means of RC
- SR Owner is not sure when they will get the money
- SR Owner may or may not make profits
Introduction
They have to be compulsorily registered with RBI
Process of Paying to Bank by ARC
SR is
What can bank do with the SR & QIB
SR is a Kind of Hybrid Instrument
An ARC can decide not to go for Reconstruction Ever, it can continue to keep holding it for as much long as it wants
Reconstruction of Financial Assets
It is not sure that ARC will always make Profit - Its the Business of High Risk & High Return
- Examples of ARC
- Biggest is - Asset Reconstruction Company India Limited
- JC Flowers ARC is buying NPA from Yes Bank
Difference Between SARFAESI and IBC Act
SARFAESI | IBC |
Applicable only to Secured Creditors | Applicable both to Secured and Unsecured Creditors |
Applicable only to Financial Credits | Applicable to Both Financial & Operational Creditors |
ㅤ | Applicable to even Home Buyers against Real Estate Companies |
Focus is on Liquidation | Focus on Resolution i.e Transfer of Company |
Less Comprehensive | More Comprehensive |
ㅤ | ㅤ |
Note: Debenture is a Unsecured Bond
Note: IBC is much wider and comprehensive than SARFAESI
Secured Creditor - Gives Money with Collateral
Unsecured Creditor - Gives Money without Collateral
Financial Creditor can be a Secured or Unsecured Creditor
Operational Creditor - Provided Machinery or Raw Material, they haven't given money but they have provided material
Difference Between Financial & Operational Creditor
IBC Act
Mind Map
Summary
- Applicability
- Individuals
- Covers Them, Govt Notification is Needed
- But Govt hasn’t notified them yet
- in UPSC Mark : IBC Covers Individuals → Mark it as Right
- Companies
- Adjudicating Mechanism
- Individuals → DRT Debt Recovery Tribunal
- Companies → NCLT National Company Law Tribunal
- Can Banks and NBFC’s be Brought under IBC
- Banks - No → because we already have DICGC Insurance
- Latest Development - NBFC’s and Housing Companies can be brought under IBC
- Threshold for Loan Amount for Invoking IBC
- Individual - Rs 1000
- Companies
- Earlier it was 1 Lac
- Now It has been made to 1 Crore because of Aatm Nirbhar Bharat Package → to Avoid Bringing MSME’s under IBC
- Time Period → Maximum 330 Days
- Note : Places where IBC Dont Work → SARFAESI, DRT, Courts Work
Whole Process of IBC
- IBBI - Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India under IBC Act functions under Ministry of Corporate Affairs
- IBBI Gives License to Insolvency Professionals
- CoC - Committee of Creditors - Only Financial Creditors
- Recent Transfer of Company of
- Jet Airways to Jalan Kalrock
- JSW Steel to Arsellor Metal
- Voting Mechanism of CoC
- Value of Voting is wrt to Loan Amount Disbursed
- Total Vote Needed is 66% of Total Votes
- 66% should be in terms of VALUE
- If the Voting Threshold doesn't Work → Assets will be sold off by means of LIQUIDATION
Triggered by
- Insolvency → Triggered By Bank
- Bankruptcy → Triggered by the Person who has taken Loan
New Development in IBC as a Part of Aatm Nirbhar Bharat Package is PIRP & CIRP
Difference Between CIRP and PIRP - Basics
CIRP - Corporate Insolvency Process | PIRP - Pre Pack Insolvency Process |
All Companies Except MSME’s | Applicable Only for MSME’s |
Original Promoters are Barred from Bidding | Aim is that the owner of MSME can continue to hold the ownership of the company |
Control & Mgmt to Another Company | ㅤ |
CIRP Process Mind Map
PIRP Process Details
- Can be Started by Debtor Only
- Direct Agreement between Owner & Bank by means of Negotiation
- Loan Rs 100 & Owner Says I will Pay Rs 90
- Bank Goes For SWISS Challenge Method
MSME Willing to Pay 90 Rs
Company A Says I will Pay Rs 92
Company C Says I will Pay Rs 95
- Bank asks from MSME that I will transfer the Company to Company C
- Now Bank will asks first to MSME Owner → Which is called Right of First Refusal
Difference Between CIRP & PIRP - Final Mind Map
PIRP is Triggered by the Owner of the MSME when he feels he might default and he might lose the control of the company as well
Benefits and Challenges of IBC
Summary
- IBC Came into being in 2016
Benefits
- Success of Recovery Rate : 40% to 45%
But SARFAESI is 22%
- Time Taken for Recovery Rate : 430 Days
BUt SARFAESI and DRT is 4 to 5 Years
- IBC has Addressed the Chakravyuha Challenge of Economy
- Wrapping up of Business is Difficult
- Private Companies Entry is Easy
- Hence, Entry is Easy but Exit is Difficult
- Not Being Able to Exit ka issue hai ki
- Factors of Production is Locked up
- Leads to Inefficient Utilisation of Factors of Production
- Transfer of Company leads to Efficient use of Factors of Production
- Hence, It has become means of Creative Destruction
- IBC has brought Behavioural Change in Owners of Company
Red Tapism Reduced
Documentation Reduced
Ease of Doing Business Increased
Defence Private Companies Allowed even FDI
Problems
- Recovery Rate is Still Low
- Still Time Consuming
- High Amount Average Facade
- Few Cases of High Profile Cases with Single Large Value like Bhushan Steel & JSW Steel Recovery Rate was 90 95%
- Where as in Videocon Company, for a NPA of 30,000 Crores, 300 Crores was recovered
- So One High Average Shoots Up, the Average Recovery Shoots Up, Doesn’t
- It is the best devil out of the three devils we have
Mind Map
Note : ARC’s can now bid in IBC
Introduction → Bad Banks & Their Setup
- Working Mechanism of ARC (NARCL) & AMC(IDRCL)
- NPA in India in 2016 to 13%
- Eco Survey 2017-18 - Proposal Given
- PARA - Public Asset Rehabilitation Agency ka Example hai Bad Bank
- Against Bad Banks
- Bad Bank Should be Set up by the Govt
- Controversial Because Govt is Trying to Bail out NPA’s / Losses of Banks and Hence their Crony Capitalists Friends
- When Govt wouldn't make money from the ARC and Govt would make loss and Hence Loss of Taxpayers Money
- Why should Govt Bail out on the Mistake of Banks due to their Bad Lending Practises
- It can in turn create Moral Hazards - Bank ki Aadat Pad Jayegi - Bank Baar Baar Wahi Galti Karega
- In Favour of Bad Banks
- Bank ka toh NPA ho gaya, at about 16 Lac Crore
- Due to NPA → Losses → Capital Stuck in Provisioning → Credit Giving Goes Down → No Profit → Hence GDP is Going Down
- But Nonetheless Bad Bank has been set in the Form of
- ARC (Asset Reconstruction Company) - NARCL → National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited
- AMC (Asset Management Company) - IDRCL → India Debt Resolution Company
Working Mechanism of Bad Bank
- ARC are Registered with RBI under SARFAESI Act
- ARC will buy LEGACY NPA’s of Value > Rs 500 Crores
- Note : Minimum 500 Crores
- Legacy NPA which have been Balance Sheet of the Bank for a Long Time
- Total NPA it can buy is of 2 Lac Crores
- Due to Which
- Over All Losses of Banks will Reduce
- Provision Free - High Credit - High Profit - Inc in GDP
- NARCL is owned Majorly (> 50%) by PSB like SBI & PNB
It is NOT OWNED ENTIRELY BY PSB’s
Some Part of Ownership is by Private Banks also
Sponsor Bank is : Canara Bank
- Finite Time of Bad Bank for NARCL is for 5 Years Only
- NARCL will have specialists in understanding that at what cost should we buy that both Bank and ARC makes profit
- NARCL will buy and will Exclusively Transfer to IDRCL (AMC)
- IDRCL has finite tenure of 5 Years
- Old Methods but Bank Immediately Apne Legacy NPA se Free Ho Gaya
- IDRCL will recover NPA by Means of
- DRT
- SARFAESI
- IBC
- IDRCL can now Manage to Recover NPA by Means of
- Work of NARCL & IDRCL
- Here NARCL - Will only BUY NPA
- Here IDRCL - Will only Manage NPA
- Here Registration
- Here NARCL - Registered with RBI
- Here IDRCL - Not Registered with RBI, because SARFAESI is
- Here Ownership
- Here NARCL - Majorly Owned by PSB
- Here IDRCL - Majorly Owned by Pvt Sec Banks
- Loss in Recovery of NPA by NARCL & IDRCL → will be given by Government by Mens of Govt Guarantee upto Rs 30,000 Crore
Summary of Process
Institutions Mind Map
Pros and Cons of Bad Bank
- Pros
- Will Solve Coordination Problem
- Cons
- It is a Accounting Adventure
- Criticised by Ex RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan
- It is a Kind of Band Aid Solution when we actually need a Deep Surge
- It might not have a Finite Time of 5 Years
- Still a Moral Hazard - Bank ki Aadat Lag Jaayegi
- Conclusion
- Bad Bank is a Short Term Solution but in Long Run we need a Banking Reform to Core
- P J Nayak Committee Reforms can be Suggested
Strategies and Reforms Needed
Will Full Defaulters
- It is RBI’s Innovation, No Law Exists
- Diversion of Loans - Mallya Took Loan on Behalf of United Beverages and In turn diverted it to Siphoning of Loans
- Siphoning of Loans - Diversion for Self Use
Fugitive Economic Offender
It is by an Act - Fugitive Economic Offender Act, 2018
Director or Dy Director of PMLA (Protection of Money Laundering Act) → Director and Dy Director is of ED
Introduction Concept of BASEL Norms
- BIS - Bank of International Settlement
- BIS - It is Central Bank of Central Banks
- BIS is Owned by 63 Central Banks across the world Including RBI
- Its Role is to
- Promote Coordination Between Central Banks of the World
- It is Located at a Place Called BASEL, Switzerland
- In BIS there is a Committee called BCBS = Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
- Like Provisioning Coverage Ratio in India, at Global Level we have had BASEL Norms by BCBS
- So Far we have had
- BASEL 1 1988 →
- BASEL 2 2004 →
- BASEL 3 2010 →
- One thing common to all these BASEL Norms is CAR - Capital Adequacy Ratio
- CAR is analogous to PCR in India
Mind Map
Philosophy Behind CAR
- Banks should have its own Capital to withstand losses arising from NPA’s
- Why → Banks are Financial Intermediaries
- Hence, they should have their own money in the Bank for more seriousness by the owner
- under CAR - Bank has to maintain its own Capital
- this Capital Should be adequate enough to combat Risk Arising out of NPA
- CAR = (Capital) / (Risk Weighted Assets) ** 100
- At 8% CAR and RWA 100, Capital needed is 8 Rs
- At 8% CAR and RWA 200, Capital needed is 16 Rs
Types of Risks Faced by the Banks
Risks Forced by Banks Summary
- What are the Other Risks that Bank Might Have
- Credit Risks
- Loan turn into NPA
- Market Risks
- Values of Banks Assets whose value may fluctuate due to Market like
- Examples of Such Losses
- Foreign Currency Reserve
- Gold
- G Secs
- Operational Risks
- Losses which may be due to operation of banks
- Examples of Such Losses
- Cyber Fraud
- Infra Damage
- Fine on Bank
- Banking Fraud
- Note : There is Difference Between Assets & Risk Weighted Assets
CAR = (Capital / RWA) * 100
RWA Analysis and Calculation
As a Bank for a Asset, there can be a Risk Percentage Attached to it - Example - What is the Risk Asset Attached to each type of Asset is NOT Needed
CREDIT RISK
- Bank has GIven Loan to the Govt - Risk % age → 0%
RWA = 0 → In All Probability Bank will recover All Money
- Bank has Given Loan to the Corporate - Risk % age → 20%
RWA = 20 → If 100 Rs Loan has been Given, Recovery would be of Rs 80
- Bank has Given Loan to the Corporate - Risk % age → 50%
RWA = 50 → If 100 Rs Loan has been Given, Recovery would be of Rs 50
MARKET RISK
- Corporate Bond
- AAA - 15%
- BBB - 10%
- Home Loan by Bank
- 5 Years - 5%
- 10 Years - 10%
- 30 Years - 15%
OPERATIONAL RISK
- BASEL 3 Norms Says that Operational Asset should be Equal to 15% of Gross Income
CAR = (Capital / RWA) * 100
Asset | Risk | RWA |
Rs 100 Govt | 0 | 0 |
Rs 100 Company | 20 | 20 |
Rs 100 Farmer | 30 | 30 |
Operational Risk
Gross Income = Rs 100 | 15% of of Gross Income | 15 |
Total Asset - Operational Risk = 300 | ㅤ | Total RWA 100 |
NOTE : In the Denominator You have the Risk Asset and NOT The Total Asset
Capital Analysis and Calculation
There are Two Types of Capital
Tier 1 Capital
Going Concern Capital | Tier 2 Capital
Gone Concern Capital |
With Stand Loss in the Course of Business Operation | To Fulfill Obligation of a Bank when it closes down its business activity |
Common Shares are used | Preferential Shares are used |
Additional Tier 1 Bond to be Discussed | ㅤ |
Types of Capitals
- Rate of Basel Norm
- World - 8%
- India - 9%
- Tier 1 Capital
- Common Equity Tier 1 → 4.5% → 5.5%
- Common Shares
- Profits of Bank
- Additional Tier 1 / Perpetual Bond 1.5%
- Perpetual Bond - Its Maturity Period Does Not Exist
- Money Raised through Issue of a T1 Bond
- Can Cancel the Principal or Interest Payment due to Operational Loss
- Tier 2 Capital → 2%
- Provisioning Amount
- Preferential Shareholders Money
- Tier 2 Bonds
You are entitled to get Principal and Interest Payment no Matter if it makes loss that year
Summary of Types of Capital
Summary of CAR
Components of Capital & Risks Involved → Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital***
Evolution of BASEL Norms
Mind Map
Basel 1, 1988 - 8%
- It did not take into account the market risks and operational risks
- it only took into account credit risks
Basel 2, 2004 - 8%
- Capital Adequacy Ratio
- CR
- MR
- OR
- Supervisory Review
- Market Discipline
Basel 3 , 2010 - 8% *****
- Enhanced Capital Requirement (ECR)
- SLR & CRR can never be used in CAR
- Apart from CAR
- Here CRR cannot be accounted for LCR because it is with RBI
- Here SLR can be accounted for LCR because it is with the Bank
ECR 1 → CAR
Enhanced Component is
ECR 2 →Capital Conservation Buffer - CCB - Normal Time
ECR 3 → Counter Cyclical Capital Buffer - CCCB - Boom Time
Details of CCB and CCCB
ECR 4→ Liquidation Coverage Ratio
Bank Should have Sufficient Amount of LIquidity to Withstand Liquidity Stress
This Cash Requirement of Rs 100 should be Maintained in the Form of HQLA ( High Quality Liquidity Asset)
Note:
ECR 5 → Leverage Ratio
- Enhanced Supervisory Review
- Enhanced Market Discipline
CAR → Numerator - Capital → Tier 1 → Type 2 → Additional Tier 1 Bond / Perpetual Bond
Recapitalization Bonds
Recapitalisation - Govt Infusing Capital Again
Why Recapitalisation - Kyunki SBI ka owner Govt Hai and Unko BASEL 3 ka Norm Maintain Karna Hai
Govt Cannot
- Cannot Raise Taxes
- Cant Borrow kyunki Fiscal Deficit → Acc to FRBM Govt Borrowing 3% GDP nahi ho sakta
Systemically Important Banks
Banks which are too big to Fail like Scale Based Regulation of NBFC
How Do I Know that a Bank is too big to fail - Criteria
- Look at Size of Banks
- Interconnectedness of Bank
- Level of Complexity in Managing the Bank
- Substitutability of the Bank - Can I Find a Easy Substitute of the Bank or Not
Identification of these Banks is done under BASEL 3 Norms
There are Two Types of SIB
- G SIB
- Identified by Financial Stability Board
- Qualifying Criteria is Top 75 Banks
- Out of these 75 Banks, 30 Banks are chosen as Global SIB
- Example
- Citi Bank
- Standard Chartered
- HSBC
- J P Morgan
- D SIB
- Identified by RBI
- Qualifying Criteria should be more than 2% of India's GDP
- 3 Banks in India are D SIB
- SBI
- ICICI
- HDFC
Hence for these Banks to Ensure that these Banks do NOT Fail
D SIB has to have to Maintain Higher CAR
Don't Remember the Dates
Difference Between G SIB and D SIB
FSB Financial Stability Board works under BIS Bank of International Settlement
LIBOR - London Indian Bank Offered Rate
- It is not used in India. It is used in UK and USA and other countries
- RBI wants banks to give up LIBOR and adopt ARR
- LIBOR is a Rate at which two banks are willing to lend money to each other
- LIBOR → London Interbank Offer Rate
- It is different from Federal Fund Rate as it is managed by Federal Bank
- LIBOR is Measured by International Continental Exchange (ICE)
- LIBOR is important because some global banks link rate of interest on loans to LIBOR
- Global Level - Bank Link ROI on Loans to LIBOR
- In India - NRI - Foreign Currency Account by NRI
This account has money in Foreign Currency
Here, the ROI will be linked to LIBOR
- In 2011-12 → LIBOR Scam
- Banks Started Inflating Number to ICE
- They would lend at less rate and tell ICE more rate
- Here More than 50% Entities were inflating numbers
- Hence because of this, LIBOR has lost its Sanctity
- Hence RBI has asked banks to choose alternate Reference Rate
PSL - Priority Sector Lending
Summary
- Examples of Places for PSL
- MSME (Like Handloom)
- Education
- Agriculture (Like Cooperative, Seed Fund, Farmers)
- Renewable Energy
- Social Infra - Health and Rural Infra
- Loans to Vulnerable Section like SC ST and OBC
- Start Ups
- Express Credit
- Target for
- Domestic Scheduled Commercial Banks - 40%
- RRB - 75%
- SFB - 75%
- PSB - 0% ( They Cant Give Loans)
- In Agri which Loans can be considered as Priority Sector
- For Inputs
- For Machinery
- Loans to FPO - Farmers Producer Organisation or Co Operatives
- Kisan Credit Card
- Agri Startups is Included in PSL***
- Under Jan Dhan Account
- Zero Balance + Overdraft
- Overdraft in Jan Dhan Account is a PSL
Mind Map
Small and Marginal Farmers is a Person with Land Less than 2 Acres
Sub Sector and Fields in Agriculture PSL
WDRA - Warehousing and Regulation Act
Warehouse should be Compulsorily Registered with WDRA
e-NWR - Negotiable Warehousing Receipts
- Use it as a Collateral to take Loans
- Sell it directly to Food Processing Industry
- Use it to Withdraw Tomato
Co Lending or Co Origination of Loans
Non Achievement of PSL Targets
- Option 1
- RIDF (Rural infrastructure Development Fund) - NABARD
- SEDF (Small Enterprise Development Fund) - SIDBI
- AHF (Affordable Housing Fund) - NHB
- Option 2 → PSLC - Priority Sector Lending Certificate
