EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


This project was undertaken at the Punjab National Bank Large Corporate Branch,
Kolkata, at the Credit Department. Financial requirements for Project Finance and
Working Capital purposes are taken care of at the Credit Department. Companies that
intend to seek credit facilities approach the bank. Primarily, credit is required for
following purposes:
a. Working capital finance
b. Term loan for mega projects
Project Financing discipline includes understanding the rationale for project
financing, how to prepare the financial plan, assess the risks, design the financing
mix, and raise the funds. In addition, one must understand some project financing
plans have succeeded while others have failed. A knowledge-base is required
regarding the design of contractual arrangements to support project financing; issues
for the host government legislative provisions, public/private infrastructure
partnerships, public/private financing structures; credit requirements of lenders, and
how to determine the project's borrowing capacity; how to analyze cash flow
projections and use them to measure expected rates of return; tax and accounting
considerations; and analytical techniques to validate the project's feasibility
Project finance is different from traditional forms of finance because the credit risk
associated with the borrower is not as important as in an ordinary loan transaction;
what is most important is the identification, analysis, allocation and management of
every risk associated with the project.
The purpose of this project is to explain, in a brief and general way, the manner in
which risks are approached by financiers in a project finance transaction. Such risk
minimization lies at the heart of project finance. Efficient management of credit
portfolio is of utmost importance as it has a tremendous impact on the Banks assets
quality & profitability. The ongoing financial reforms have no doubt provided
unparallel opportunities to banks for growth, but have simultaneously exposed them
to various risks, which need to be effectively managed.
The concept of Credit Management is undergoing radical changes. Credit Risk in all
exposures calls for precise measuring and monitoring for taking considered credit
decisions with suitable risk mitigants, risk premium, etc. Credit portfolio should be

well diversified in various promising sectors with a cautious approach to be adopted
in risky segments. Also, lending continues to be a primary function in banking. In the
liberalized Indian economy, clientele have a wide choice. External Commercial
Borrowings and the domestic capital markets compete with banks. In another
dimension, retail lending- both personal advances and SME advances- competes with
corporate lending for funds and for human resources. But lending by nature cannot be
an aggressive selling activity, disregarding the risks involved. Bank has to be
competitive without compromising on the basic integrity of lending. The quality of
the Banks credit portfolio has a direct and deep impact on the Banks profitability.
The study has been conducted with the purpose of getting in-depth knowledge about
the credit appraisal and credit risk management procedure in the organization for the
above said first two purposes.

CHAPTER- 1

INTRODUCTION

Corporate credit appraisal is a fundamental business practice which assesses the


potentialities of a corporation in terms of financial capabilities to honour debts and
other securities. A critical role of credit rating is, in its very basic essence, to ensure
that the borrower has good potential to repay debts and as such determine the level of
confidence a lender has with the borrower. Ideally, several instrumental fundamentals
are used to assess the credit worthiness of corporate credit appraisal and they include,
amongst others, financial history of a corporation, its assets and liabilities and its
projected future performance.
Scholars generally agrees that the methodologies used by credit rating companies
influences, to a large extent, the credit sphere with such fundamentals such as loan
performance, creditworthiness and, generally, economic performance coming into a
complex interplay, a phenomenon which greatly influences the general performance
of national and, to an extent, the global economy. Without a viable and effective credit
appraisal framework, chances are that there will be a credit crunch and general

economic turmoil such as the one being witnessed in the US and all over the globe. In
fact the current crises being witnessed in the United States is partly as a result of
inadequate rating methods used by the credit rating agencies.
To effectively understand the subject matter, it is necessary, indeed mandatory that the
methods used by credit rating companies be investigated, an undertaking that will
help in shedding more light to the causes of the current crisis.
Before going further it is necessary to understand the need and basic framework of the
project. Therefore this chapter provides an introduction to the topic, objective of the
project, reasons for selecting the project and the basic structure and framework how
the project proceeds.

Reasons for selecting the project


Whenever an individual or a company uses a credit that means they are borrowing
money that they promise to repay with in a pre-decided period. In order to assess the
repaying capability i.e. to evaluate their credit worthiness banks use various
techniques that differ with the different types of credit facilities provided by the bank.
In the current scenario where it is seen that big companies and financial institutions
have been bankrupted just because of credit default so Credit Appraisal has become
an important aspect in the banking sector and is gaining prime importance.
It is the incident of credit defaults that has given rise to the financial crisis of 2008-09.
But in India the credit default is comparatively less that other countries such as US.
One of the reasons leading to this may be good appraisal techniques used by banks
and financial institutions in India. Eventually the importance of this project is mainly
to understand the credit appraisal techniques used by the banks with special reference
to Punjab National Bank.

Objective of the project


To study broad contours of management of credit, the loan policy, credit appraisal for
business units i.e. for working capital loan or Term Loan
To understand the basis of credit risk rating and its significance

INTRODUCTION TO BANKING SECTOR AND PNB

A snapshot of the banking industry:


The last decade has seen many positive developments in the Indian banking sector.
The growth in the Indian Banking Industry has been more qualitative than quantitative
and it is expected to remain the same in the coming years. Based on the projections
made in the "India Vision 2020" prepared by the Planning Commission, the report
forecasts that the pace of expansion in the balance-sheets of banks is likely to
decelerate. The total assets of all scheduled commercial banks by end-March 2010 is
estimated at Rs 40,90,000 crores. That will comprise about 65 per cent of GDP at
current market prices as compared to 67 per cent in 2002-03. Bank assets are expected
to grow at an annual composite rate of 13.4 per cent during the rest of the decade as
against the growth rate of 16.7 per cent that existed between 1994-95 and 2002-03. It
is expected that there will be large additions to the capital base and reserves on the
liability side.

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 13

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


The Indian Banking Industry can be categorized into non-scheduled banks and
scheduled banks. Scheduled banks constitute of commercial banks and co-operative
banks. There are about 67,000 branches of Scheduled banks spread across India. As
far as the present scenario is concerned the Banking Industry in India is going through
a transitional phase.
The Public Sector Banks (PSBs), which are the base of the Banking sector in India
account for more than 78 per cent of the total banking industry assets. Unfortunately
they are burdened with excessive Non Performing assets (NPAs), massive manpower
and lack of modern technology. On the other hand the Private Sector Banks are
making tremendous progress. They are leaders in Internet banking, mobile banking,
phone banking, ATMs. As far as foreign banks are concerned they are likely to
succeed in the Indian Banking Industry. Currently, banking in India is generally fairly
mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reaching rural India
still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks.
In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have
clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable
economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with
minimal pressure from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian
Rupee is to manage volatility but without any fixed exchange rate-and this has mostly
been true. With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite
some time-especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially
retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. One may
also expect M&As, takeovers, and asset sales.
In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its
stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an
investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI
announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks
would need to be vetted by them.
Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector banks
(that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private banks (these do not
have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges)
and 31 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and

17,000 ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public
sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the
private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.
The policy makers, which comprise the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Ministry of
Finance and related government and financial sector regulatory entities, have made
several notable efforts to improve regulation in the sector. The sector now compares
favorably with banking sectors in the region on metrics like growth, profitability and
non-performing assets (NPAs). Indian banks have compared favorably on growth,
asset quality and profitability with other regional banks over the last few years. The
banking index has grown at a compounded annual rate of over 51 per cent since April
2001 as compared to a 27 per cent growth in the market index for the same period.
The interplay between policy and regulatory interventions and management strategies
will determine the performance of Indian banking over the next few years.
Management success will be determined on three fronts:
i. Fundamentally upgrading organizational capability to stay in tune with the changing
market
ii. Adopting value-creating M&A as an avenue for growth
iii. Continually innovating to develop new business models to access untapped
opportunities
Reforms in the banking sector:
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 has
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
scheduled commercial banks increased four-fold and the number of banks branches
increased eight-fold.

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 15

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


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
complete 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.
This 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.
During the year 2000, the State Bank of India (SBI) and its 7 associates accounted for
a 25% share in deposits and 28.1% share in credit. The 20 nationalized banks
accounted for 53.5% of the deposits and 47.5% of credit during the same period. The
share of foreign banks ( numbering 42 ), regional rural banks and other scheduled
commercial banks accounted for 5.7%, 3.9% and 12.2% respectively in deposits and
8.41%, 3.14% and 12.85% respectively in credit during the year 2000.

Classification of banking Industry:


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 cooperative 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 Indian banking industry is a mix of
the public sector, private sector and foreign banks. The private sector banks are again
spilt into old banks and new banks.

1. Rivalry among existing firms


With the process of liberalization, competition among the existing banks has
increased. Each bank is coming up with new products to attract the customers and
tailor made loans are provided. The quality of services provided by banks has
improved drastically.

2. Potential Entrants
Previously the Development Financial Institutions mainly provided project finance
and development activities. But they now entered into retail banking which has
resulted into stiff competition among the exiting players.
3. Threats from Substitutes
Banks face threats from Non-Banking Financial Companies. NBFCs offer a higher
rate of interest.
4. Bargaining Power of Buyers
Corporate can raise their funds through primary market or by issue of GDRs, FCCBs.
As a result they have a higher bargaining power. Even in the case of personal finance,
the buyers have a high bargaining power. This is mainly because of competition.
5. Bargaining Power of Suppliers

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 18

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


With the advent of new financial instruments providing a higher rate of returns to the
investors, the investments in deposits is not growing in a phased manner. The
suppliers demand a higher return for the investments.
Overall Analysis
The key issue is how can banks leverage their strengths to have a better future. Since
the availability of funds is more and deployment of funds is less, banks should evolve
new products and services to the customers. There should be a rational thinking in
sanctioning loans, which will bring down the NPAs. As there is a expected revival in
the Indian economy Banks have a major role to play. Funding corporate at a low cost
of capital is a special requisite.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF BANKING INDUSTRY


The banking sector is also taken as a proxy for the economy as a whole. The
performance of bank should therefore, reflect Trends in the Indian Economy. Due
to the reforms in the financial sector, banking industry has changed drastically with
the opportunities to the work with, new accounting standards new entrants and
information technology. The deregulation of the interest rate, participation of banks in
project financing has changed in the environment of banks.
The performance of banking industry is done through SWOT Analysis. It mainly
helps to know the strengths and Weakness of the industry and to improve will be
known through converting the opportunities into strengths. It also helps for the
competitive environment among the banks.

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 19

a) STRENGTHS

1. Availability of Funds
There are seven lakh crore wroth of deposits available in the banking system. Because
of the recession in the economy and volatility in capital markets, consumers prefer to
deposit their money in banks. This is mainly because of liquidity for investors.
2. Banking network
After nationalization, banks have expanded their branches in the country, which has
helped banks build large networks in the rural and urban areas. Private banks allowed
to operate but they mainly concentrate in metropolis.
3. Large Customer Base
This is mainly attributed to the large network of the banking sector. Depositers in
rural areas prefer banks because of the failure of the NBFCs.
4. Low Cost of Capital
Corporate prefers borrowing money from banks because of low cost of capital.
Middle income people who want money for personal financing can look to banks as
they offer at very low rates of interests. Consumer credit forms the major source of
financing by banks.
b) WEAKNESS

1. Loan Deployment
Because of the recession in the economy the banks have idle resources to the tune of
3.3 lakh crores. Corporate lending has reduced drastically
2. Powerful Unions
Nationalization of banks had a positive outcome in helping the Indian Economy as a
whole. But this had also proved detrimental in the form of strong unions, which have
a major influence in decision-making. They are against automation.
3. Priority Sector Lending
To uplift the society, priority sector lending was brought in during nationalization.
This is good for the economy but banks have failed to manage the asset quality and

their intensions were more towards fulfilling government norms. As a result lending
was done for non-productive purposes.
4. High Non-Performing Assets
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) have become a matter of concern in the banking
industry. This is because of change in the total outstanding advances, which has to be
reduced to meet the international standards.

c) OPPORTUNITIES
1. Universal Banking
Banks have moved along the valve chain to provide their customers more products
and services. For example: - SBI is into SBI home finance, SBI Capital Markets, SBI
Bonds etc.
2. Differential Interest Rates
As RBI control over bank reduces, they will have greater flexibility to fix their own
interest rates which depends on the profitability of the banks.
3. High Household Savings
Household savings has been increasing drastically. Investment in financial assets has
also increased. Banks should use this opportunity for raising funds.
4. Overseas Markets
Banks should tape the overseas market, as the cost of capital is very low.
5. Interest Banking
The advance in information technology has made banking easier. Business can
effectively carried out through internet banking.

d) THREATS

1. NBFCs, Capital Markets and Mutual funds

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 21

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


There is a huge investment of household savings. The investments in NBFCs deposits,
Capital Market Instruments and Mutual Funds are increasing. Normally these
instruments offer better return to investors.
2. Change in the Government Policy
The change in the government policy has proved to be a threat to the banking sector.
3. Inflation
The interest rates go down with a fall in inflation. Thus, the investors will shift his
investments to the other profitable sectors.
4. Recession
Due to the recession in the business cycle the economy functions poorly and this has
proved to be a threat to the banking sector. The market oriented economy and
globalization has resulted into competition for market share. The spread in the
banking sector is very narrow. To meet the competition the banks has to grow at a
faster rates and reduce the overheads. They can introduce the new products and
develop the existing services.

Product Appraisal And Credit Rating has became an important part almost all Bank
and Financial institute, they find it as an effective tools to have credible Loan
portfolio and prevention of NPA occurrence, thus there have been several research
paper for the very same issue,
Research paper 1- Shyam Sundar Gupta, in his research paper published in June 2009
states the necessities for a an appropriate Project Appraisal and credit rating system,
in his paper he discussed the methodology followed by

PFC (Power Finance

Corporation Ltd) for Project Appraisal and Integrated Project Rating of Thermal
Power Project, in broad sense Project Appraisal is classified into Management
Appraisal here the impact of the company management is taking into consideration
from their past record of success and failure in the industry as experience is an
important factor, In Technical Appraisal, the technical feasibility analysis of the data
pertaining to the technical inputs like availability of the raw materials, power, sanitary
and sewerage services, transportation facility, skilled man power, engineering
facilities, maintenance, local people etc. This feasibility analysis is very important
since its significance lies in planning the exercises, documentation process, and risk
minimization process and to get approval. Financial Appraisal being the most
important part of project appraisal here PFC analyse the financial viability of the

project to meet its obligation of interest and instalment, This involves the preparation
of cost estimates, means of financing, financial institutions, financial projections,
break-even point, ratio analysis like debt equity ratio and current ratio, PFC consider
the contribution of the project to the development of the sector; industrial
development, social development, maximizing the growth of employment, etc. All
these factor comes under the Economic Appraisal.
Environment & Commercial Analysis was also taken into consideration to make
sure that the project not violating the environmental norms and the later one to check
the market scenario of future demand and supply.
PFC follows integrated credit rating in which they combine the entity and project
rating done separately; Power Sector entities are evaluated with reference to a set of
qualitative and quantitative factors to arrive at the Aggregate Entity Score. In
addition to the performance parameters, milestones giving weightage to core reform
activities have also been included in the overall grading mechanism. The entities
are ranked on the basis of INTERNAL (70% Weightage) & EXTERNAL
FACTOR (30% Weightage), where Internal factor includes Net Worth,
DSCR, Increase in Capital Expenditure, audited annual accounts etc.
While government support, regulatory act, Subsidy etc. are of external
in nature, the assessment of the score is done through the detail study
of the entity and evaluating the score with the help of some set of
standards as per the model. Some set of parameters are DSCR>1,
Subsidy

mechanism,

PLF>80%,

AT&C

losses<20%, Average cost of supply<1.50 RS. Then the further


allocation is done on pro-rata basis. The rating is based on score out of
100, where 75+ is in Category A+ while less than 25 is in Category C.

Research paper 2- Robert V Oakford 1970, In the process of project appraisal we


analyze the present scenario and data to project the future possibilities, but the future
is unpredictable and it must be taken into consideration during the appraisal
procedure, This has been very well illustrated by Robert V Oakford in his research
paper followed by his book in 1970, he termed it as Sensitivity Analysis taking
pessimistic approach the impact of change of one variable upon the viability of the
project and its profitability, Variable can be Rise in cost of Raw Material, Decrease in
Selling Price or Increase in project Cost, Sensitive Analysis enable the decision maker

to make what if analysis but Oakford know the drawback of sensitivity analysis, it
can only analysis the impact of change of one variable to project profitability but not
the interrelation of the variable, that is its consider all other variable being constant
and change to only one variable.
Research paper 3- Unido 2000, in his manual for evaluation of industrial project he
discussed another method for analysing uncertainty, popularly termed as Break Even
Analysis, according to Unido it is the first step toward analysis of uncertainties, under
this meathod an attempt is made to arrive at minimum level of production/sales and
which the firm can run without jeopardizing its financial viability.
Research paper 4-IFAC submitted a paper in June 2008 discussing about the Project
Appraisal Using Discounted Cash Flow and suggested different principal for the
process, basically it emphasise on the opportunity cost of capital simplified as a time
value of money, its explain that project with multiple inflow and outflow of cash over
a period of time can be analysed by its net present value(NPV), the discounting rate
taken for the calculation of the NPV should reflect the systematic risk of the project
and not of an organization, Sometime it is not possible to distinguish between the
systematic risk and unsystematic risk and the required discounting Factor are not
available, even then it is easy to analyze the project by determine the IRR of the
project with its respective cash flow,
Research paper 5- Brian nelson, November 2009, he his research paper at morning
star credit rating methodology, he divide the rating into two part, business Risk and
Financial Risk, in financial risk Cash Flow Cushion ratio is a fundamental indicator
of a firm's future financial health, and is a key component of the Morningstar Credit
Rating. The measure reveals how many times a company's internal cash generation
plus total excess liquid cash will cover its debt-like contractual commitments over the
next 5 years, while in the business risk factor includes Country (10% weightage) and
Company Risk (90% weightage), Country Risk is external risk which includes
Political , legal risk and interest rate etc, here the scoring is given from 1 to 25 where
25 being the best, In business risk scoring are given from 1 to 10 where 10 being the
low risk, scoring are done on Annual Revenue, Product and customer
concentration(Diversification), Stewardship Grade for transparency in company and
Cyclicality of Operations for economic sensitivity.

6.1 INTRODUCTION
Effectiveness of Credit Management in the bank is highlighted by the quality of its
loan portfolio. Every Bank is striving hard to ensure that its credit portfolio is healthy
and that Non Performing Assets are kept at lowest possible level, as both of these
factors have direct impact on its profitability. In the present scenario efficient project
appraisal has assumed a great importance as it can check and prevent induction of
weak accounts to our loan portfolio. All possible steps need to be taken to strengthen
pre sanction appraisal as always Prevention is better than Cure. With the opening up
of the economy rapid changes are taking place in the technology and financial sector
exposing banks to greater risks, which can be broadly classified as under:
INDUSTRY RISK
Government regulations and policies, availability of infrastructure facilities, Industry
Rating, Industry Scenario & Outlook, Technology Up gradation, availability of inputs,
product obsolescence, etc.
Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 36

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


BUSINESS RISK
Operating efficiency, competition faced from the units engaged in similar products,
demand and supply position, cost of labour, cost of raw material and other inputs,
pricing of product, surplus available, marketing, etc
MANAGEMENT RISK
Background, integrity and market standing/ reputation of promoters, organizational
set up and management hierarchy, expertise/competence of persons holding key
position in the organization, delegation and decentralization of authority, achievement
of targets, track record in execution of project, debt repayment, industry relations etc.
FINANCIAL RISK
Financial strength/standing of the promoters, reliability and reasonableness of
projections, past financial performance, reliability of operational data and financial
ratios, adequacy of provisioning for bad debts, qualifying remarks of
auditors/inspectors etc.
In light of the foregoing risks, the banks appraisal methodology should keep pace with
ever changing economic environment. The appraisal system aims to determine the
credit needs/requirements of the borrower taking into account the financial resources
of the client. The end objective of the appraisal system is to ensure that there is no
under - financing or over - financing.
Following are the aspects, which need to be scrutinized and analyzed while
appraising:
6.2 MARKET ANALYSIS (DEMAND AND POTENTIAL)
The market demand and potential is to be examined for each product item and its
variants/substitutes by taking into account the selling price of the products to be
marketed vis-a-vis prices of the competing products/substitutes, discount structure,
arrangement made for after sale service, competitors' status and their level of
operation with regard to production and products and distribution channels being used
etc. Critical analysis is required regarding size of the market for the product(s) both
local and export, based on the present and expected future demand in relation to
Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 37

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


supply position of similar products and availability of the other substitutes as also
consumer preferences, practices, attitudes, requirements etc. Further, the buy-back
arrangements under the foreign collaboration, if any, and influence of Government
policies also needs to be considered for projecting the demand. Competition from
imported goods, Government Import Policy and Import duty structure also need to be
evaluated.
6.3 TECHNICAL ASPECT
In a dynamic market, the product, its variants and the product-mix proposed to be
manufactured in terms of its quality, quantity, value, application and current
taste/trend requires thorough investigation.
I.

Location and Site

Based on the assessment of factors of production, markets, Govt. policies and other
factors, Location (which means the broad area) and Site (which signifies specific plot
of land) selected for the Unit with its advantages and disadvantages, if any, should be
such that overall cost is minimized. It is to be seen that site selected has adequate
availability of infrastructure facilities viz. Power, Water, Transport, Communication,
state of information technology etc. and is in agreement with the Govt. policies. The
adequacy of size of land and building for carrying out its present/proposed activity
with enough scope for accommodating future expansion needs to be judged.
II.

Raw Material

The cost of essential/major raw materials and consumables required their past and
future price trends, quality/properties, their availability on a regular basis,
transportation charges, Govt. policies regarding regulation of supplies and prices
require to be examined in detail. Further, cost of indigenous and imported raw
material, firm arrangements for procurement of the same etc. need to be assessed.
III.

Plant & Machinery, Plant Capacity and Manufacturing Process

The selection of Plant and Machinery proposed to be acquired whether indigenous or


imported has to be in agreement with required plant capacity, principal inputs,
investment outlay and production cost as also with the machinery and equipment
already installed in an existing unit, while for the new unit it is to be examined
Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 38

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


whether these are of proven technology as to its performance. The technology used
should be latest and cost effective enabling the unit to compete in the market.
Purchase of reconditioned/old machinery is to be dealt in terms of laid down
guidelines. Compatibility of plant and machinery, particularly, in respect of imported
technology with quality of raw material is to be kept in view. Also plant and
machinery and other equipments needed for various utility services, their supply
position, specification, price and performance as also suppliers' credentials, and in
case of collaboration, collaborators' present and future support requires critical
analysis. Plant capacity and the concept of economic size has a major bearing on the
present and future plans of the entrepreneur(s) and should be related to the availability
of raw material, product demand, product price and technology.
The selected process of manufacturing indicating the adequacy, availability and
suitability of technology to be used along with plant capacity, manufacturing process
needs to studied in detail with capacities at various stages of production being such
that it facilitates optimum utilization and ensures future expansion/ debottlenecking,
as and when required. It is also to be ensured that arrangements are made for
inspection at intermediate/final stages of production for ensuring quality of goods on
successful commencement of production and completion, wherever required.
6.4 FINANCIAL ASPECT
The aspects which need to be analyzed under this head should include cost of project,
means of financing, cost of production, break-even analysis, financial statements as
also profitability/funds flow projections, financial ratios, sensitivity analysis which
are discussed as under:
1. Cost of Project & Means of Financing
i.

The major cost components of any project are land and building including
transfer, registration and development charges as also plant and machinery,
equipment for auxiliary services, including transportation, insurance, duty,
clearing, loading and unloading charges etc. It also involves consultancy and
know-how expenses which are payable to foreign collaborators or consultants
who are imparting the technical know-how. Recurring annual royalty payment
is not reflected under this head but is accounted for under the profitability

Page 39

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


statements. Further, preliminary expenses, such as, cost of incorporation of
the Company, its registration, preparation of feasibility report, market surveys,
pre-operative expenses like salary, travelling, start up expenses, mortgage
expenses incurred before commencement of commercial production also form
part of cost of project. Also included in it are capital issue expenses which can
be in the form of brokerage, commission, advertisement, printing, stationery
etc. Finally, provisions for contingencies to meet any unforeseen expenses,
such as, price escalation or any other expense which have been inadvertently
omitted like margin for working capital requirements required to complete the
production cycle, interest during construction period, etc. are also part of
capital cost of project. It is to be ensured while appraising the project that cost
and various estimates given are realistic and there is no under/over estimation.
Further, these cost components should be supported by proper quotations,
specifications and justifications of land, machinery and know-how expenses
etc.
ii.

Besides Banks loan, the project cost is normally financed by bringing capital
by the promoters and shareholders in the form of equity, debentures,
unsecured long term loans and deposits raised from friends and relatives
which are not repayable till repayment of Bank's loan. Resources are raised
for financing project by raising term loans from Institutions/Bankswhich are
repayable over a period of time, deferred term credits secured from suppliers
of machinery which are repayable in installments over a period of time. The
above is an illustrative list, as the promoters have now started raising funds
through Euro-issues, Foreign Currency loans, premium on capital issues, etc.
which are sometimes comparatively cheap means of finance. Subsidies and
development loans provided by the Central/State Government in notified
backward districts to attract entrepreneurs are also means of financing a
project. It is to be ascertained that requirement of finance has been properly
tied-up for unhindered implementation of a project. The financing structure
accepted must be in consonance with generally accepted levels along with
adequate Promoters' stake. The resourcefulness, willingness and capacity of
promoter to contribute the same have also to be investigated.

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 40

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


In case of project finance, the promoter/borrower may bring in upfront his
contribution (other than funds to be provided through internal generation) and the
branches should commence its disbursement after the stipulated funds are brought in
by the promoter/borrower. A condition to this effect should be stipulated by the
sanctioning authority in case of project finance, on case to case basis depending upon
the resourcefulness and capacity of the promoter to contribute the same. It should be
ensured that at any point of time, the promoters contribution should not be less than
the proportionate share.
2. Profitability Statement
The profitability statement which is also known as `Income and Expenditure
Statement' is prepared after considering the net sales figure and details of direct
costs/expenses relating to raw material, wages, power, fuel, consumable stores/spares
and other manufacturing expenses to arrive at a figure of gross profit. Thereafter, all
other expenses like salaries, office expenses, packing, selling/distribution, interest,
depreciation and any other overhead expenses and taxes are taken into account to
arrive at the figure of net profit. The projections of profit/loss are prepared for a
period covering the repayment of term loans. The economic appraisal includes
scrutinizing all the items of cost, and examining the assumptions, if any, to ensure that
these are realistic and achievable. There should not be any optimism or pessimism in
working out profitability projections since even a little change in the product-mix
from non-remunerative to remunerative or vice-versa can distort the picture. While
preparing profitability projections, the past trends of performance in an industry and
other environmental factors influencing the cost and revenue items should also be
considered objectively.
Generally speaking, a unit may be considered as financially viable, progressive and
efficient if it is able to earn enough profits not only to service its debts timely but also
for future development/growth.
3. Break-Even Analysis
Analysis of break-even point of a business enterprise would help in knowing the level
of output and sales at which the business enterprise just breaks even i.e. there is
neither profit nor loss. A business earns profit if it operates at a level higher than the
Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 41

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


break-even level or break-even point. If, on the other hand, production is below this
level, the business would incur loss. The break-even point in an algebraic equation
can be put as under:
BREAK-EVEN
POINT
(VOLOUME OR
UNIT)
BREAK-EVEN
POINT (SALES IN
RUPEES)

TOTAL FIXED COST/(SALES - VARIABLE COST)


(TOTAL FIXED COST x SALES)/(SALES VARIABLE COST)

The fixed costs include all those costs which tend to remain the same up to a certain
level of production while variable costs are those costs which tend to change in
proportion with the volume of production. As regards unit sales price, it is generally
the same for all levels of output.
The break-even analysis can help in making vital decisions relating to fixation of
selling price make or buy decision, maximizing production of the item giving higher
contribution etc. Further, the break-even analysis can help in understanding the impact
of important cost factors, such as, power, raw material, labor, etc. and optimizing
product-mix to improve project profitability.

Fund-Flow Statement
A fund-flow statement is often described as a Statement of Movement of Funds or
where got: where gone statement. It is derived by comparing the successive balance
sheets on two specified dates and finding out the net changes in the various items
appearing in the balance sheets.
A critical analysis of the statement shows the various changes in sources and
applications (uses) of funds to ultimately give the position of net funds available with
the business for repayment of the loans. A projected Fund Flow Statement helps in
answering the under mentioned points.
How much funds will be generated by internal operations/external sources?
How the funds during the period are proposed to be deployed?
Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 42

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


Is the business likely to face liquidity problems?

Balance Sheet Projections


The financial appraisal also includes study of projected balance sheet which gives the
position of assets and liabilities of a unit at a particular future date. In other words,
the statement helps to analyze as to what an enterprise owns and what it owes at a
particular point of time.
An appraisal of the projected balance sheet data of the unit would be concerned with
whether the projections are realistic looking to various aspects relating to the same
industry.

Financial Ratios
While analyzing the financial aspects of project, it would be advisable to analyze the
important financial ratios over a period of time as it may tell us a lot about a unit's
liquidity position, managements' stake in the business, capacity to service the debts
etc. The financial ratios which are considered important are discussed as under:

DEBT-EQUITY RATIO

DEBT (Term Liabilities)


EQUITY (Share capital, free
reserve, premium on share,
development rebate reserve,
tec. After adjusting loss
balance)

RBI has advised that the banks in their own interest should have clear policy duly
approved by board regarding Debt-Equity Ratio (DER) and the infusion of
equity/funds by promoter should be such that the stipulated lever of DER is

maintained at all times. Further, a funding sequence may be adopted so that the
possibility of equity funding by banks is obviated.
The level of DER varies from case to
case depending upon nature of the project, promoters strength, available of colletral
securities etc. apart from the type of industry. In capital intensive industries involving
large capital investment, DER is normally higher then as compared to any other
industries.
Keeping in view the spirit of RBI regulation guidelines, board have
approved the desired level of DER for project financing under different industries and
power vested with various authorities to relax the same as under

CURRENT LIABILITIES

Higher the ratio greater the short term liquidity. The ratio is indicative of shortterm
financial position of a business enterprise. It provides margin as well as it is measure
of the business enterprise to payoff the current liabilities as they mature and its
capacity to withstand sudden reserve by the streangth of its liquid position. Ratio
analysis gives indication; their interpretation, however, has to be made with refrence
to overall tendencies and parameter in relation to the project.

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN


(IRR)

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 46

NET PRESENT VALUE OF


INFLOW = NET PRESENT
VALUE OF OUTFLOW

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.

IRR is that rate of discount which makes the discounted value of the net cash flow
from a project just equal to the amount which has to be invested to obtain that net
cash flow. In other words, IRR is that rate of discount which gives the project an NPV
equals to zero and cost benefit ratio equals to one.

Sensitivity Analysis
While preparing and appraising projects certain assumptions are made in respect of
certain critical/sensitive variables like selling price/cost price per unit of production,
product-mix, plant capacity utilization, sales etc. which are assigned a `VALUE' after
estimating the range of variation of such variables. The `VALUE' so assumed and
taken into consideration for arriving at the profitability projections is the `MOST
LIKELY VALUE'. Sensitivity Analysis is a systematic approach to reduce the
uncertainties caused by such assumptions made.
The Sensitivity Analysis helps in arriving at profitability of the project wherein
critical or sensitive elements are identified which are assigned different values and the
values assigned are both optimistic and pessimistic such as increasing or reducing the
sale price/sale volume, increasing or reducing the cost of inputs etc. and then the
project viability is ascertained. The critical variables can then be thoroughly examined
by generally selecting the pessimistic options so as to make possible improvements in
the project and make it operational on viable lines even in the adverse circumstances.

6.5 MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATION ANALYSIS


Appraisal of project would not be complete till it throws enough light on the person(s)
behind the project i.e. management and organization of the unit. It is seen that some
projects may fail not because these are not viable but because of the ineffectiveness of
the management and the organization in controlling various functions like production,
marketing, finance, personnel, etc. The appraisal report should highlight the strengths
and weaknesses of the management by commenting on the background,
qualifications, experience, and capability of the promoter, key management personnel,
Amity Business School, Noida.

and effectiveness of the internal control systems, relation with labor, working
conditions, wage structure, and the other assigned essential functions. In case the
promoter(s) have interest, in other concerns as Proprietor or Partner or Director, the
appraisal report should also comment on their performance in such concerns.
A business is more vulnerable if decision making in all the functional areas rests with
a particular person, in other words, `one man show'. Further, the management and the
organization should be conducive to the size and type of business. In case it is not so,
it should be ensured that professional managers are inducted to strengthen the
organization.

To judge whether the project is viable, i.e. it can generate adequate surplus for
servicing its debts within a reasonable period of time and still left with some funds for
future development. This involves taking an over-all view to analyse the strengths and
weaknesses of the project. It should also be analysed to see whether the management
and organisation can prove effective for successful implementation of the project.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

Page 51

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.

7.1 Credit Risk


Credit risk means the possibility of loss associated with diminution in the credit
quality of borrowers. In a banks portfolio, losses stem from outright default due to
inability or unwillingness of a customer or counter party to meet, commitments in
relation to lending, trading, settlement and other financial transactions.
7.2 CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN PNB
A comprehensive credit risk management system, which is in place in the bank,
encompasses the following processes:
Identification of Credit Risk
Measurement of Credit Risk
Grading of Credit Risk
Reporting and analysis of rating related data
Control of Credit Risk

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 52

CREDIT RISK IDENTIFICATION


In order to take informed credit decisions, it is necessary to identify the areas of credit
risk in each borrower as well as each industry. Risk Management Division HO, in
coordination with other HO divisions involved in disbursal of credit and also the risk
management departments of various zonal offices identifies these risks areas and
develops necessary tools and processes to measure and monitor the risk.

CREDIT RISK MEASUREMENT


In order to measure the credit risk in banks portfolio, the bank has developed the
following models:

credit risk involved in them. Inputs to the models are the financial, management,
business and conduct of account, industry information. The evaluation of a borrower
is done by assessment on various objective/subjective parameters. The model
evaluates the credit risk rating of a borrower on a scale of AAA to D with AAA
indicating minimum risk and D indicating maximum risk.
The credit risk-rating models incorporate therein all possible risk factors, which are
important for determining the credit quality/ rating of a borrower. These risks could
be:
Internal and specific to the company,
Associated with the industry in which the company is operating or
Associated with the entire economy and can influence the repayment capacity and/
or willingness of the company.

Evaluation methodology under rating models


The scores are assigned to each of the parameters on a scale of 0 to 4 with 0 being
very poor and 4 being excellent. The scoring of some of these parameters is subjective
while for some others it is done on the basis of pre-defined objective criteria.
The scores given to the individual parameters multiplied by allocated weights are
then aggregated and a composite score for the company is arrived at, in percentage
terms. Higher the score obtained by a company, the better is its credit rating. Weights
have been assigned to different parameters based on their importance. Weights
assigned to different parameters have been loaded in the software. After
allocating/evaluating scores to all the parameters, the aggregate score is calculated
and displayed by the software.
The overall percentage score obtained is then translated into a rating on a scale from
AAA to D according to a pre-defined range of scores.

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 54

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


Wherever a particular parameter is not applicable, no score should be given and the
parameter should be made Not Applicable.For multi-divisional companies, which
are involved in more than one industrial activity, evaluation should be done separately
for each business. However, the management evaluation, conduct of account and
financial evaluation will be done on a common basis. In such cases, for the business
section, each business should be evaluated and scored separately, taking into account
the different industrial activity involved.
The models provided for down gradation of the rating of the borrower by one notch
on the basic of any crucial factor coming to the notice after the date of audited balance
sheet (on which rating is done) and which may affect the operating efficiency
/viability of the unit substantially such as:
I.
II.

Poorer performance to current year as compared to Balance Sheet figure.


Absence of willingness/capability of the promoter to repay the debt as per

III.

agreed term and condition.


Substantial impairment in the value of assets ( including block assets/Loans

IV.

and advances/ investments, inventory/debtors)


Obsolescence of the product or any major changes in Government policies

V.

having substantial impact on the performance of the company.


Effect of any major development, which are not yet cleared, major damages to
plant/stocks, court judgement on environment threats, involvement of
promoters/company in excise/FEMA/tax-evasion, recovery suit/ winding up
petition filed by creditor/FIs/Banks, any civil/criminal proceedings against the
promoter/company, change of management etc.

The credit risk rating of the borrower should be done immediately after the receipt
of audited financial results of the company and should not be linked to the regular
renewal/review exercise.
For the purpose of assigning score under conduct of account in respect of
borrower, which have not been dealing with PNB earlier, the PMs score will not be
available and as such me made NA

In order to adopt internal rating based approaches (IRB) for credit risk, Basel II has
placed certain minimum requirements which inter-alia require, validation of rating
system, process and estimation of all relevant risk components. Banks must regularly
compare realized default rates with estimated probability of default (PD) of each
grade and able to demonstrate to its supervisor (RBI), that the internal validation
process enable it to assess the performance of internal rating and risk estimation
system consistently and meaningfully. In view of above fact, not only rating but
consistent practices in evaluation of credit risk rating as well as evolving and updating
robust data on various risk components is must for adopting IRB approaches.

POST SANCITION SUPERVISION


AND FOLLOW UP OF LOANS

System and supervision and follow-up can be defined as the systematic evaluation of
the performance of a borrowal account to ensure that it operates at viable level, if
problems arise, to suggest practical solutions. It helps in keeping a watch on the
conduct and operational/financial performance of the borrowal accounts. Further, it
also helps in detecting signals/symptoms of sickness and deteriorations, if any, taking
place in the conduct of the account for initiating timely corrective actions to check
slippage of accounts to NPA category.
The goals and objectives of monitoring may be classified into fundamental and
supplementary goals. Fundamental goals help a bank to ensure safety of funds lent to
an enterprise while, supplementary goals are directed towards keeping abreast of
problems arising out of changes in both the internal and the external environment for
initiating timely corrective actions. Some of the important goals of monitoring are
listed as under:

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 59

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


i. To keep a watch on the project during implementation stage so that time & cost
overruns do not occure.
ii. To ensure that the funds released are utilized for the purpose for which these have
been provided and there is no diversion of such funds.
iii. To evaluate operational and financial results, such as production, sales, profit/loss,
flow of funds, etc. and comparing these with the projections/estimates given by the
borrower at the time of sanction of credit facilities.
iv. To ensure that the terms and conditions as stipulated in the sanction have been
complied with.
v. To monitor operations in the account particularly cash credit facilities which
indicate health of the account.
vi. To obtain market report on the borrower, to gather information like
reputation/financial standing etc.
vii. To detect signals and symptoms of sickness or deterioration taking place in
conduct/performance of the account.
viii. To ensure that the unit's management and organizational set-up is effective.
ix. To keep a check on aspects like accumulation of statutory liabilities, creditors,
debtors, raw-material, stocks-in-process, finished goods, etc.
x. To ensure charging of applicable rate of interest/penal interest/ commitment charges
as per bank's guidelines.
2. System of supervision & monitoring of credit as laid down by the Bank needs to be
meticulously followed by the branches/controlling offices which, inter alia, covers the
following:
i.

Conveying of sanction
After the loan is sanctioned , Branch should communicate the term and
condition of sanction to the borrower ina letter as per draft available at
Annexure 1, containing therein the details of facilities sanctioned and
respective term and condition, The borrower/s will convey his/their acceptance

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 60

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


of the term and condition as draft letter available at Annexure II . In case of a
company , necessary resolution authorising the signing official(s) to give such
letter, beside execution of document be obtained and kept on record.
ii.

PROFILE OF BORROWERS
Branch should maintain profile name of each borrower separately specifically
mentioning complete name, contact address, telephone no. , activity of
borrower, assets of borrower, guarantors and other obligation, detail of
primary and collateral security as per format available as Annexure III. The
profile should be updated regularly on quarterly basis.

iii.

MAINTENANCE OF LOAN DOCUMENT FILE


In order to maintain safety of loan document, the branch should ensure proper
paging of all loan document. The page no. should be legibly written on upper
right side of each paper/document and the file should be kept in orderly
manner. The document file should be kept in fire proof safe and under proper
custody of the loan Incharge/Incumbent Incharge.

iv.

PREVENTIVE MONITORING SYSTEM (PMS)


PMS is monitoring tool consisting of a number of signals/indicators for
evaluating the health of a borrowal account on a continuous basis. It assigns
numerical score to each signal and capture the conduct of an account based on
past 1 year in a single numerical vale called PMS index score.

v.

QUATERLY REVIEW SHEET


Review sheet is a quarterly statement prepared by the branch and submitted to
the sanctioning authority. Primary responsibility for scrutiny/processing of
Quarterly review sheets (QRS) rest with the sanctioning authority, it enable the
sanctioning authority to form an opinion about the position of the borrowal
account and operational performance of the unit.

vi.

QUATERLY MONITORING SYSTEM (QMS)

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 61

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


Bank has prescribed the QMS system for monitoring performance of big

9.1 OBJECTIVE
The Credit Management & Risk Policy of the bank at the macro level is an
embodiment of the Banks approach to understand, measure and manage the credit
risk and aims at ensuring sustained growth of healthy loan portfolio while dispensing
the credit and managing the risk. This would entail reducing exposures in high risk
areas, emphasizing more on the promising industries / productive sectors/ segments of
the economy, optimizing the return by striking balance between the risk and the return
on assets and striving towards maintaining/improving market share.

9.2 BASIC TENETS OF THE POLICY

All loan facilities considered only after obtaining loan application from the
borrower and compilation of Confidential Report on them and the guarantor.
The borrowers should have the desired background, experience/expertise to
run their business successfully

Amity Business School, Noida.

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.

Project for which the finance is granted should be technically feasible and
economically/commercially viable i.e. it should be able to generate enough
surpluses so as to service the debts within a reasonable period of time.

Cost of the project and means of financing the same should be properly
assessed and tied up. Both, under-financing and over- financing can have an
adverse impact on the successful implementation of the project.

Borrowers should be financially sound, enjoy good market reputation and


must have their stake in the business i.e. they should possess adequate liquid

resources to contribute to the margin requirements.


Loans should be sanctioned by the competent sanctioning authority as per the

CHAPTER- 5

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 68

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.

5.1 CONCLUSION
The Training at PNB gave a huge learning experience to me and has helped to
enhance my knowledge. During the training I learnt how the theoretical financial
analysis aspects are used in practice during the working capital finance and term loan
assessment. I have realized during my project that a credit analyst must own multidisciplinary talents like financial, technical as well as legal know-how.
The credit appraisal for business loans has been devised in a systematic way. It is a
process of appraising the credit worthiness of loan applicants. Thus it extremely
important for the lender bank to assess the risk associated with credit; thereby ensure
the security for the funds deposited by the depositors. There are clear guidelines on
how the credit analyst or lending officer has to analyze a loan proposal. It includes
phase-wise analysis which consists of 6 phases:
1. Financial statement analysis
2. Working capital and its assessment techniques
3. Techno Economic Feasibility Analysis
4. Credit risk assessment
5. Documentation
Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 69

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


6. Loan administration
Punjab National Banks adoptions of the Projected Balance Sheet method (CMA) of
assessment procedures are based on sound principles of lending. This method of
assessment has certain flexibility required to avoid any rigid approach to fixing
quantum of finance. The PBS method have been rationalized and simplified to
facilitate complete flexibility in decision-making.
To ensure asset quality, proper risk assessment right at the beginning, is extremely
important. That is why Credit Risk Management system is an essential ingredient of
the Credit Appraisal exercise.
PNB has formulated a Credit Risk Rating model, PNB Trac. It considers important
parameters like profitability, repayment capacity, efficiency of the unit, historical /
industry comparisons etc, depending on the industry. PNB Trac is one of the best
rating models present till date.

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 70

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.

5.2 FINDINGS
After completing the entire project at Punjab National Bank the following key
findings as mentioned below were observed.

At Punjab National Bank, Circle Office the priority to appraise a proposal was

given new over the existing clients presenting proposals for renewal of loan.
Ratings, as being performed at PNB, are done once a year. Therefore, the
ratings do not take into account short term drastic changes like price level

changes.
The risk rating model is not flexible; the present risk rating model does not
have any mechanism to prioritize certain sectors of the economy. There are
certain sector in the economy where risk spread is low and certain sectors
where spread of risk is high like real estate. Also, there are certain

infrastructural projects which need to be prioritized.


The BPLR system has been replaced by Base Rate system.
Some of the parameters in Business and industry evaluation are based on the
information provided by company, which in some cases may not be sufficient.
No specific guidelines are followed in such cases. Also, some of the
parameters here may be rendered redundant in some cases and may

manipulate the rating needlessly in these cases.


With the deregulation of the financial sector, the ability of the banks to service
the credit requirements of the SME sector depends on the underlying
transaction costs, efficient recovery processes and available security. There is

Amity Business School, Noida.

Page 71

Credit Appraisal & Risk Rating.


an immediate need for the banking sector to focus on credit and finance
requirements of SMEs.

5.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
The Credit Department at PNB Large Corporate Office Kolkata, works at its full
potential and the staff is highly experienced and has a very strong intuitive sense.
Overall Current Appraisal System is good but the following suggestion can be taken
care off as there is always a chance of improvement.

Direct Interaction with the clients should be improved.


The loan processing time should be reduced.
The documents required for processing the loan should be reduced.
The bank should completely eliminate the file system and go computerization
at every stage as this removes paper work and creates transparency in the

system.
The bank should work on standardizing the processes and systems their

follow.
Care must be taken to ensure that the judgment in appraisal process does not

depend on one single person and a single factor.


Monthly Monitoring system should be followed instead of Quarterly
Monitoring System as document are being submitted electronically

5.4 LIMITATION
Like any other study this study too is not free from limitation. The major limitation of
the study is listed below:
1. The major limitation of the study is availability of data as the data are
proprietary and not readily shared for dissemination
2. Study limited to business loans.
3. Study is limited to PNB Kolkata branch.
4. The findings cant be generalized for the varied range of industries of
borrowers.
5. The credit rating process is more of intuition and experience and since the
time period was limited, hence beat effort was made to grasp the process as
much as possible

2.3 BUSINESS EVALUATION
2.2.1 Comments on industry scenario and industry outlook:
Industry Structure:
The Indian steel industry is broadly divided into two distinct producer groups:

Primary Steel Producer (ISP- Integrated Steel Producer)


Secondary Steel Producer.

ISPs includes large steel producers with high level of backward integration.
ISPs have facilities right from the iron ore(raw Material) mining stage to the
steel production stage.
Secondary producers essentially have mini steel plants and employ Electric
Arc Furnace (EAF) or Induction Furnace (IF) route, which use scrap and
sponge iron or mix of both as a raw material to produce steel. This group also
consists of processors and re-rollers of steel products.
Although, there are 3500 varieties of regular and special steel available, steel
producer can be broadly classified into two basic types according to their
shapes viz. flats and longs. All finished steel products are made from semifinished steel thats comes into form of slabs billets and blooms.

GLOBAL
The consultant note that the iron can be economically be produced by converting iron
ore into briquettes, concentrates, pellets or sinter. In the global market about 24% of
iron ore are converted into pellets.

DOMESTIC
Indian iron ore are fairly rich in ferrous content (about 58%). However Indian iron ore
is brittle in mature and hence had tendency of breaking down into fines during the
making process. It is noted that at present 40% of ore mined in Indian mines are in
form of lumps and balance 60% are fines. These fines are further used to manufacture
pellets or sinter for economical production of iron.

Iron Ore
Global Scenario
During 2009 global demand of iron ore (lumps pellets and sinter) was estimated at
about 1891 million ton. Demand for iron ore grow at compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 9.53% per annum. While the demand on 2005 was 1314 million ton per
annum and thus the future market of the iron ore is projected to be 2208 million ton
by 2015 and 2512 million ton by 2020.

GLOBAL DEMAND SUPPLY GAP


Based on above data it is noted that:
Demand supply scenario of iron ore appears to be balance and thus there
is enough scope for every manufacture.
Moreover, it is unlikely that there will be concern over supply of iron
ore as mining is primarily dependent of demand.

The price of Iron ore fines and lumps grew at a CAGR of 28% and 27% respectively
During 2005-2009, from the secondary data analysis and figure it is noted that global
prices of iron ore fines, iron ore lumps and iron ore pellets are dependent on

Spot prices of Iron/Steel product


Futures prices of Iron/Steel product

DEMAND SUPPLY GAP


The existing supply is adequate to meet current demand. However the demand for steel is
rapidly increasing which is expected to exert pressure on requirement for iron ore lumps and
pellets, hence to meet future demand, there is the need to add new capacities. It is believe that
newer capacities are on anvil to cater to the increasing demand of iron ore pellets.

DOMESTIC SCENARIO
DOMESTIC DEMAND
It is noted that pellets are a substitute for iron ore lumps. Demand trend
for pellets will be similar to demand trends of domestic iron ore.
In India the iron ore produced is brittle in nature and hence 60% of it is
in form of fines. This iron ore fines are then used for production of
pellets or used in sinter plant at integrated steel plant(ISP)
Presently in Indian almost all iron and steel manufacturers are utilizing
iron ore lumps for steel making. This is due to fact that quality iron ore
is readily available from Indias mines , hence these manufacturer prefer
lumps to pellets
Some of those who uses pellets have captive pelletization capacities and
hence are not purchasing pellets from open markets
However the shortages of iron ore pellets are imported by few of the
manufacturer. As pellets is cheaper then iron ore it forms as a latent
demand for pellets in domestic market.

Domestic Supply
Till the recent times iron ore fines were considered residual waste resulting from
mining operation with less economical value but the conversion of fines into pellets
made it realize its better value, India is net exporter of Iron ore pellets. Its is estimated
that about 0.64 million ton of iron ore pellets were exported during 2008-2009, the
major export destination includes China and Japan followed by South Korea,

From the above figure it is noted that export in 2007-08 witnessed sharp decline due
to increased domestic demand and global economics crisis that leads to fall in steel
demand. Also in 2009-2010 the export from India fallen sharply owing to export ban
by the state of Karnataka.

Pricing
The prices of iron ore pellets are driven by;

Prices of Iron Ore fines


Overall demand supply scenario of iron ore pellets, sinter and lumps,

Source: Government of India, sector report

Iron ore pellets prices witnessed an increasing trend during 2005-08, primarily

on account of increased demand of iron ore.


Short term prices are generally 20 to 30% more than the long term prices.
During the 1st half of the 2008-09 iron ore pellets price reduced to Rs.
2,200/MT this decline is prices was on the onset of global recession

subsequent to Olympics in China.


Iron ore price in the 1st half of 2009-10 was around Rs. 5,500/MT

Thus there is a great scope of Iron ore pellets in domestic as well as at global market.

Its seen that the performance of the company has improved in the last two years.
Operational income increased by 82%. Operating profit has improved by 52% though
operation profit margin has fallen from 8.2% to 6.8%. PAT margin has marginally
improved from 3.5% to 3.8%.

The financing is required for setting new plant so no data available for the financial
statement but based on other similar company and market analysis the firm has
projected few facts and figure which is expected to be achieved by the pellet plant.
Although the company ABC is on forward integration which gives an avenue to
consume the pellets internally. However to determine the feasibility of the project the
analysis is done on the basis of standalone project, i.e pellets and some beneficiated
iron ore will be sold in the open market.

REVENUE
The selling price considered for the beneficiated iron ore and iron ore pellets is as
follows.
