1.1 Introduction
In recent days, people are becoming more aware about the management of their resources. As
the banks do business by lending their depositors' money, they are more responsible to manage
their credit portfolio smoothly. Bank’s reputation is a critical factor for its success and therefore
multinational banks must follow appropriate guidelines, policies and relevant manuals regarding
credit extension and recovery. The usage of banking service for any type of financial activities is
increasing day by day. People are taking loans to start different types of businesses as well as
other purposes. It is now very important to know the internal credit processes of the banks.
Credit management ina bank is adynamic sector where a certain standard of long-rangeplanning
is needed to allocate the fund in diverse field and to minimize the risk and maximizing the return
on the invested fund. The credit policy of Mercantile Bank Limited (MBL) is a combination of
certain accepted, time tested standards and other dynamic factors dictated by the realities of
changing situations in different market places. MBL aims to become one of the leading banks in
Bangladesh by prudence, flair and providing quality of credit operations in the banking sectors.
MBL intends to meet the needs of their clients and enhance their profitability by providing best
credit facilities. I tried to make an overall analysis of credit activities of Mercantile Bank Limited.
1.2 Statement of the problem
Credit management evaluation is important for ensuring depositors` money and also the
efficiency of the banking operation. MBL try their best manpower to ensure the highest return
on investment of depositors` money and profitability of the bank.
In my research report I tried my best to find out the credit management efficiency of the MBL
based on the past few years annual report, half yearly report of 2015 and also cash flow
statement and financial statement of the bank. This research also focusses on the probable best
solution of the problem if any.
1.3 Rationale of the study
In today’s world only academic education does not make a student perfect to become
competitive with the outside world. Internship is a great opportunity to gain ideas, knowledge
and experience with applying academic knowledge. Through the internship program, a student
gets the opportunity to face with the real business world. It helps to build self-confidence, &
interpersonal skills which is important for entrance as a fresher in job market. It is also beneficial
for both a student & organization to upsurge relationship among them for further opportunities.
As a mandatory part of my graduation, I took the opportunity to conduct my internship with one
of the renowned private commercial bank in our country, Mercantile Bank Limited.
In recent banking sector, MBL has already created a positive image to the customers’ mind by
providing best banking service. This bank has introduced some modern banking scheme that has
gotten high market demand. As the bank is maintaining the pace with the competitive business
world, its activities, culture, philosophy and style would an intern student to be the best at any
field of working life.
1.4 Objective of the report
Objective of the report is divided into two categories. There are: general and specific
objectives.
 To find out the overall activities of credit management system.
 To represent the procedures that bank follows for lending to the customers.
 To describe the detailed operational procedure of the different credit facilities.
 How they recover the bad debts and get back the uncollected advances.
 To get significant knowledge how effectively loan and sanction procedure are
conducted on the basis of evaluation credit risk management.
1.5 Scope of the Study
This report is only based on the credit management activities of MBL. This report includes
the credit management procedures under credit department of MBL. This report include
deposit serviceof MBL. Besides this report does not include the services of other private and
public commercial banks and non-banking institutions.
1.7 Limitation of the study
There were certain limitation had to face in order to prepare this report. Some limitations are
as follows:
 There was a little scope to work at credit division in the bank for an intern
student.
 Limitation of time was one of the important factors that shortened the study.
 MBL does not have rich and wealthy collection of various types of books or
journals related to banking activities.
 Confidentiality of data was another important barrier that was faced during the
conduct of this study. Credit policy is an internal & confidential matter at a bank.
Alike all other banking institutions, MBL is also very conservative and strict in
providing financial information.

(http://216.172.166.167/home/annual_reports)
 Office circular and other published papers and documents.
Methods of collection of data:
Here I emphasized on the online media of collection of data.
2.2 Literature review: World Perspective
The profit of a commercial bank depends primarily on the utilization of its fund. And the making
of loan and advance is always profitable to a bank. As the bank mobilizes savings from the
general people in the form of deposit, the most important task of it is to disburse the said
deposit as loan or advance to the mass people for the development of commercial, industrial,
who are in need of fund for investment.
The studies related to the credit management of banks are limited. In this chapter an attempted
has been made to focus on different studies in the banking sector.
Crouhy, Gala, Marick (2001) Have summarized the core principles of enterprise wide Risk
Management. As per the authors Risk Management culture should percolate from the Board
Level to the lowest level employee. Firms will be required to make significant investment
necessary to comply with the latest best practices in the new generation of Risk Regulation and
Management. Corporate Governance regulation with the advent of Sarbanes-Oxley Act in US
and several other legislations in various countries also provide the framework for sound Risk
Management structures.
Hitherto, Enterprise wide Risk Management existed only for name sake. Generally firms did not
institute a truly integrated set of Risk measures, methodologies or Risk Management
Architecture. The ensuing decades will usher in a new set of Risk Management tools
encompassing all the activities of a Corporation. The integrated Risk Management infrastructure
would cover areas like Corporate Compliance, Corporate Governance, capital Management etc.
Areas like business risk, reputation risk and strategic risk also will be incorporated in the overall
Risk Architecture more formally. As always it will be the Banks and the Financial Services firms
which will lead the way in this evolutionary process. The compliance requirements of Basel II
and III accords will also oblige Banks and Financial institutions to put in place robust Risk
Management methodologies.
The authors felt that it is generally felt that Risk Management concerns largely with activities
within the firm. However, during the next decade Governments in different countries would
desire to have innovatively drawn Risk Management systemfor the whole country. The authors
draw reference to the suggestions of Nobel Laureate Robert Merton who suggested that a
country with exposure to a few concentrated industries should be obliged to diversify its
excessive exposures by arranging appropriate swaps with other countries with similar problems.
Risk Management offers many other potential macro applications to improve the management
of their social security measures etc. They draw references to the spread of Risk Management
Education worldwide.
Carl Felsenfeld (2007) outlined the patterns of international Banking regulation and the
sources of governing law. He reviewed the present practices and evolving changes in the field of
control systems and regulatory environment. The book dealt a wide area of regulatory aspects
of Banking in the United States, regulation of international Banking, international Bank services
and international monetary exchange. The work attempted in depth analysis of all aspects of
Bank Regulation and Supervision.
Money Laundering has been of serious concern worldwide. Its risk has wide ramifications.
Money Laundering has leads to the fall of Banks like BCCI in the past. In this context the book on
Anti-Money laundering: International Practice and Policies by John Broome Published by Sweet
and Maxwell (August 2005) reviews the developments in the area of Money Laundering. The
author explains with reference to case studies the possible effects of Money Laundering. The
book gives a comprehensive account of the existing rules and practices and suggests several
improvements to make the control systems and oversight more failsafe.
Hannan and Hanweck (1988)
Felt that the insolvency for Banks become true when current losses exhaust capital completely.
It also occurs when the return on assets (ROA) is less than the negative capital asset ratio. The
probability of insolvency is explained in terms of an equation p, 1/(2(Z2 ). The help of Z-statistics
is commonly employed by Academicians in computing probabilities.
Daniele Nouy (1995) elaborates the Basel Core Principles for effective Banking Supervision,
its innovativeness, content and the challenges of quality implementation. Core Principles are a
set of supervisory guidelines aimed at providing a general framework for effective Banking
supervision in all countries. They are innovative in the way that they were developed by a mixed
drafting group and they were comprehensive in coverage, providing a checklist of the principal
features of a well-designed supervisory system.
The core Principles specify preconditions for effective banking supervision characteristics of an
effective supervisory body, need for credit risk management and elaborates on Principle 22
dealing with supervisory powers. Dearth of skilled human resources, poor financial strength of
supervisor and consequent inability to retain talented staff, inadequate autonomy and the need
for greater understanding of modern risk management techniques are identified as the main
difficulties in quality implementation. The critical elements of infrastructure, legal framework
that supports sound banking supervision and a credit culture that supports lending practices are
the essence of a strong banking system. Widespread failures have occurred during a period of
increased vulnerability that can be traced back to some regime change induced by policy or by
external conditions.
Patrick Honohan (2007)
Explains the use of budgetary funds to help restructure a large failed Bank/Banking system and
the various consequences associated with it. The article discusses how instruments can best be
designed to restore Bank capital, liquidity and incentives. It considers how recapitalization can
be modelled to ensure right incentives for new operators/managers to operate in a prudent
manner ensuring good subsequent performance It discusses how Government’s budget and the
interest of the tax payer can be protected and suggest that monetary policy should respond to
the recapitalization rather determine its design.
The author proposes the following four distinct policy tools to achieve four distinct goals-injecting
assets, adjusting capital claims on the Banks, rebalancing the govt’s own debt management and
managing monetary policy instruments to maintain stability. The author also assessed the effect
of bank recapitalization for budget and debt management and implications for monetary policy
and macro-economic environment in his article.
Jacques de Larosiere (2008), Former Managing Director of the International Monetary
Fund discusses the implications of the new Prudential Framework. He explains at length how the
new Regulatory code could have some dangerous side effects. The increased capital
requirements as decided by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in September 2010 will
affect the amount of own funds would affect the profitability of the Banks. The consequences of
such increased capital requirements would incentivize the Banks to transfer certain operations
that are heavily taxed in terms of capital requirements to shadow banking to avoid the scope of
regulation. The risks of such a practice might affect the financial stability. While the Central
Banking authorities might contemplate registration and supervision of such shadow banking
entities like the hedge funds and other pools, such a course might be more cumbersome than
expected. The new regulation would result in the Banks to reduce activities with rather poor
margins. For example they may reduce exposure to small and medium enterprises or increase
credit costs or concentrate on more profitable but higher risk activities. He is also critical of the
proposal of Basel to introduce an absolute leverage ratio that might push Banks to concentrate
their assets in riskier operations. The author feels that the banking model which favors financial
stability and economic growth might become the victim of the new prudential framework, and
force Banks to search for assets with maximum returns despite the attendant risks.
William Allen (1999) of Cass Business School, City University London strongly criticizes the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision announcement increasing the capital requirements as
part of BaselIII. The aims of increasing the capital are two-fold. Firstly the objective is to increase
the amount of liquid assets heldby Banks and reduce their reliance on short term funding. It also
aims at limiting the extent to which Banks can achieve maturity transformation. This focus on
liability management, as per him will prove counterproductive, as has been proved historically
by the recent financial crisis. As a strategy to meet the new Capital Accord Banks will be forced
to amass largeamounts of liquid assets,inaddition to the amounts they willneed to repay special
facilities provided by the Governments and Central Banks. The liquidity coverage ratio envisaged
in the Accord also will require Banks to hold 100% liquid asset coverage against liquidity
commitments, and this will seriously impair the profitability of the Banks. The eligible liquid
assets for this purpose will be predominantly Govt. Securities. This might motivate Governments
to rely on this cheaper credit and some Governments may resort to abuse of this credit, thus
creating a moral hazard. If a Government loses its creditworthiness, this will become 0% for Basel
II purposes thus putting the Banks to a sudden jerk as the Securities would become ineligible as
liquid assets. The author goes on to explain the conflict of interest of the members of the Basel
Committee as some times these members are influenced by the Governments and their
recommendations might not be taken as independent judgment.
Thus the author thinks that this regulation is seriously defective. He opines that this serious
lacuna could be removed by enlarging the opportunities for liquid assets to be created out of the
Bank’s claims on the private sector as well. As per him, Commercial Bills could be considered to
be eligible for this purpose as they are self-liquidating transactions. As commercial Bills are
accepted by Banks, it is less likely that they will be in default. The cardinal point in liquidity
management to be remembered is that Commercial Banks cannot aim at zero risk. In that case
they would need to their assets in currency and would have to charge their customers for
accepting deposits. The solution is not to aim thoughtlessly at excessive liquidity, but in putting
in place Robust Risk Management practices.
Abel Mateus (2010) which appeared also in the IUP Journal of Banking & Insurance
Law, Vol.VIII, Nos.1 & 2, 2010 made a thorough study of the Regulatory reform
requirements in the modern context after the global meltdown. He starts by summarizing
the basicprinciples that should be covered in the financialreforms. He reviews the progress
achieved by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision. He discusses the unresolved issues like the relationship between competition
policy and financial stabilization policies. He throws particular light on the oft quoted ‘Too-
Big-To-Fail’ (TBTF) concept. He outlines measures to improve the supervision of capital
markets to protect consumers and Investors. The articles discusses at length the revision
of Bank Capital Requirements and Accounting Procedures, revising the role of Credit Rating
Agencies, the supervision and regulation of Hedge Funds, Commodity Funds and private
Equity Funds. Complex issues of Derivatives Regulation, Mortgage Securitization etc. Have
also been discussed and the author came out with suggested methods to address these
difficult issues.
The LSE Report of the London School of Economics and Political Sciences is a very important
document in analyzing the role of finance in the build-up to the recent crisis. The tax bail – bail-
outs have been criticized and the gradual increase in the equity financing would shift the
responsibility of any crisis towards the shareholders. As per Peter Boone and Simon Johnson, the
global financial system is facing grave risks due to the bail-out policy of the Western
Governments. As Regulatory bodies like the Central Banks are keen to increase the degree of
oversight, the Banks would create new loopholes. The authors opine that in the absence of any
international treaty for the regulation of global financial institutions, macro prudential measures
and proper Risk Management systems are necessary for the management of financial system. As
per Goodhart the cost of Bank failures can be very large which lends justification to impose
tighter supervisory and regulatory measures. He argues that the proposals under the Basel III to
increase the capital higher levels like 20-30% are very justified. This is strongly objected by
Laurence Kotlikoff who feels such higher levels of capital would penalize the Shareholders and
Depositors and goes against the very principle that Financial Institutions are agencies which
should have the benefits of gearing.
Bessone, Biagio (2012)feels that Banks are specialas they not only acceptand deploy
largeamounts of uncollateralized public funds in a fiduciary capacity, but alsoleveragesuch
funds through credit creation. Thus Banks have a fiduciary responsibility. Banks play a
crucial role in deploying funds mobilized through deposits for financing economic activity
and providing the lifelinefor the payments system. A wellregulated Banking System is very
central to the country’s economy. The author examines the way Banking and other
financial institutions interact with each other during different stages of economic
development. As per the author the shareholders of the banks who are supposedly owners
have only a minor stake and the considerable leveraging capacity of banks put them in
control of very large volume of public funds, though their actual stake may be very limited
say sometimes only ten per cent or even lower. The author feels that in the light of this
leveraging capacity, the Banks should act as trustees. The author underlines the need for
the Supervisors and Regulators of the country’s Banking system to discharge the onerous
responsibility of ensuring that the Bank Managements fulfill this fiduciary relationship well,
as in a developing economy there is far less tolerance for downside risks among depositors,
many of whom place their life savings in the Banks.
The author feels that diversification of ownership is desirable as the risk of concentration
of ownership can lead to moral hazard problem and linkages of owners with businesses.
When the ownership is diversified there is greater need for corporate governance and
professional management in order to safeguard the depositors’ interest and ensure
systemic stability. Hence the regulatory and supervisory framework has to ensure that
banks follow prudent and transparent accounting practices and are managed in accordance
with the best practices for risk management.
G.Dalai, D.Rutherberg, M.Sarnat and B.Z.Schreiber (2004)
Risk is intrinsic to banking. However the management of risk has gained prominence in
view of the growing sophistication of banking operations, derivatives trading, securities
underwriting and corporate advisory business etc.
Risks have also increased on account of the on-line electronic banking, provision of bill
presentation and payment services etc. The major risks faced by financial institutions are
of course credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk.
Credit risk management requires that Banks develop loan assessment policies and
administration of loan portfolio, fixing prudential per borrower, per group limits etc. The
tendency for excessive dependence on collateral should also be looked into. The other
weaknesses in Credit Risk Management are inadequate risk pricing, absence of loan review
mechanism and post sanction surveillance.
Interest rate risk arises due to changes in interest rates significantly impacting the net
interest income, mismatches between the time when interest rates on asset and liability
are reset etc. Management of interest rate risk involves employing methods like Value-at-
Risk (VaR), a standard approach to assess potential loss that could crystallize on trading
portfolio due to variations in market interest rates and prices. Foreign Exchange risk is due
to running open positions. The risk of open positions of late has increased due to wide
variations in exchange risks. The Board of Directors should law down strict intra-day and
overnight positions to ensure that the Foreign Exchange risk is under control.
Chief Risk Officer, Alden Toevs (2008) of Commonwealth Bank of Australia states that
a major failure of risk management highlighted by the globalfinancialcrisis was the inability
of financial institutions to view risk on a holistic basis. ‘The global financial crisis exposed,
with chilling clarity, the dangers of thinking in silos, particularly where risk management is
concerned’ says the author. The malady is due to the Banks focusing on individual risk
exposures without taking into consideration the broader picture. As per the author the
root of the problem is the failure of the Banks to consider risks on an enterprise-wide basis.
The new relevance and urgency for implementing the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)
is due to the regulatory insistence with a number of proposals to ensure that institutions
stay focused on the big picture. In a way the Three Pillar Approach frame work of the Basel
II Accord is an effort to fulfill this requirement. The risk weighted approaches to Credit Risk
on the basis of the asset quality, allocation of capital to Operational Risk and Market Risks
nearly capture all the risks attendant to a Bank’s functioning.
2.3 Literature review: Indian Subcontinent Perspective
Rekha Arunkumar and Koteshwar (2010) feel that the Credit Risk is the oldest and
biggest risk that Banks, by virtue of their very nature of business inherit. The pre-dominance
of credit risk is the main component in the capital allocation. As per their estimate credit
risk takes the major part of the Risk Management apparatus accounting for over 70 per cent
of all Risks. As per them the Market Risk and Operational Risk are important, but more
attention needs to be paid to the Credit Risk Management in Banks.
Reserve Bank of India, Volume 3, 1967-81 gives very valuable account of the evolution of
Central Banking in India. This third volume describes vividly the background against which
the Reserve Bank of India came into being on April 1,
1935. Before the establishment of the Reserve Bank, the Central Banking functions were
handled by the Imperial Bank of India. The Royal Commission on Indian Currency and
Finance (Hilton Young Commission) 1926 recommended that there is conflict of interest in
the Imperial Bank of India functioning as the controller of currency while also functioning
as a Commercial Bank. After detailed analysis on the ownership, constitution and
composition of the ownership, RBI was established by a Bill in the Legislative Assembly.
It was in 1948 that the Reserve Bank of India was nationalized under the RBI(Transfer to
Public Ownership) Act, 1948. The earlier volumes viz., Volume I and Volume II covered the
developments in Central Banking up to 1967. Volume III covers the period 1967 to 1981.
This is the most dynamic period in the history of Commercial Banking. The Government
was very critical of the attitudes of the Private Banks for their failure to be socially
responsible, which led the Govt. To impose social control on Banks. Mrs. Indira Gandhi
nationalized 14 Banks during July 1969. Reserve Bank was given newer responsibilities in
terms of the Developmental role.
The RBI was assigned not only the role of maintaining monetary and fiscal stability but also
the developmental role of establishing institutional framework to complement commercial
banking to help agriculture, SSI and Export Sectors.
RBI,despite the criticismof not enjoying adequate autonomy due to the interference of the
Finance Ministry (with Govt. Ownership of most Banking Companies) has been able to
commendably discharge the regulatory functions.
True it was during this period that the performance of the Indian Banks deteriorated with
most Nationalized Banks wiping out their capital and their Balance Sheets showing huge
negativities in terms of quality of assets etc.
The period covered by the Volume III is the pre-liberalization and pre-reform period and the
Reserve Bank had to compromise on its regulatory and supervisory role in view of the Govt.
Control over Banks.
Banking Law and Regulation 2005 published by Aspen Publishers looks at the regulatory
practices relating to Banks and Financial Institutions. The book analyses the various
provisions of the Gramm-Leach Baily Act, 1999, the Financial Institutions Recovery and
Enforcement Act 2002, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, and
the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act 2003.
S.K.Bagchi (2006) observed that in the world of finance more specifically in Banking,
Credit Risk is the most predominant risk in Banking and occupies roughly 90-95 per cent of
risk segment. The remaining fraction is on account of Market Risk, Operations Risk etc. He
feels that so much of concern on operational risk is misplaced. As per him, it may be just
one to two per cent of Bank’s risk. For this small fraction, instituting an elaborate
mechanism may be unwarranted. A well laid out Risk Management System should give its
best attention to Credit Risk and Market Risk. In instituting the Risk Management
apparatus, Banks seem to be giving equal priority to these three Risks viz., Credit Risk,
Operational Risk and Market Risk. This may prove counter-productive. Securitization and
Reconstruction of Financial Assets
Enactment of Security Interest Act, 2002. (SARFAESI ACT). (42) Govt. Of India has taken the
initiative of making the legislation to help Banks to provide better Risk Management for their
asset portfolio. Risk Management of the Loan book has been posing a challenge to the Banks
and Financial Institutions which are helpless in view of the protracted legal processes. The act
enables Banks to realize their dues without intervention of Courts and Tribunals. As a part of the
Risk Management strategies, Banks can set up Asset Management Companies (AMC) to acquire
Non Performing Assets of Banks and Financial agencies by paying the consideration in the form
of Debentures, Bonds etc. This relieves the Bank transferring the asset to concentrate on their
loan book to secure that the quality of the portfolio does not deteriorate. The actcontains severe
penalties on the debtors. The AMC is vested with the power of issuing notices to the Borrowers
calling for repayment within 60 days. If the borrower fails to meet the commitment, the AMC can
take possession of the secured assets and appoint any Agency to manage the secured assets.
Borrowers are given the option of appealing to the Debt Tribunal, but only after paying 75% of
the amount claimed by the AMC. There are strict provisions of penalties for offences or default
by the securitization or reconstruction company. In caseof default in registration of transactions,
the company officials would be fined up to.
Rs.5,000/- per day. Similarly non-compliance of the RBI directions also attract fine up to Rs.5
lakhs and additional fine of Rs.10,000/- per day. This has proved to be a very effective Risk
Management Tool in the hands of the Banks.
The Report of the Banking Commission 1972 RBI Mumbai.
The Commission made several recommendations for making the Indian Banking system
healthier. The commission observed that the systemof controls and supervisory oversight
were lax and underlined the need for closure supervision of Banks to avoid Bank failures.
However most of the recommendations of the Commission lost their relevance in view of
the priorities of the Government which is more concerned with its political compulsions.
The nationalization of Banks and the tight control on the Banks of the Govt. Left little scope
for implementation of the recommendations of the Commission. If only the
recommendations which are meant to restore tighter regulatory measures, strengthening
of the internal control systems and professionalization of the Bank Boards were properly
appreciated and implementation, Indian Banks would not have ended in the mess of
erosion of capital, mounting burden of non-performing assets etc.
A well-known study analyzing the performance of Commercial Banks in India was conducted by
Vashist (1991). Avtar Krishna Vashist: Public Sector Banks in India – H,.K.Publishers &
Distributors, New Delhi 1991.
In order to find out relative performance of different Banks, composite weighted growth
index, relative growth index and average growth index of Banks were constructed. The
study revealed that Commercial Banks did well with respect to Branch expansion, deposit
mobilization and deployment of credit to the Priority Sectors. But they showed poor
performance in terms of profitability. After identifying the causes of the decline in
profitability a number of suggestions were made to improve the performance of
Commercial Banks in the Country.
Dr.Atul Mehrotra, Dean, Vishwakarma Institute of Management emphasizes the need for
promotion of Corporate Governance in Banks in these uncertain and risky times. This paper
discussed at length Corporate Governance related aspects in Banks as also touches upon
the principles for enhancing Corporate Governance in Banks as suggested by BCBS. The
author felt that despite the RBI’s initiatives on the recommendations of the Consultative
Group of Directors of Banks/Financial Institutions under the Chairmanship of
Dr.A.S.Ganguly, member of the Board for Financial Supervision, there is more ground to be
covered before Indian Banks are in a position to attain good Governance Standards.
As per the author he Public Sector Banks with Government ownership control almost over 80 per
cent of banking business in India. This complicates the role of the Reserve Bank of India as the
regulator of the financial system. The role of the Government performing simultaneously
multiple functions such as the manager, owner, quasi-regulator and sometimes even as super-
regulator presents difficulties inthe matter. Unless there is clarity in the role of the Government,
and unless Boards of the banks are given the desired level of autonomy, it will be difficult to set
up healthy governance standards in the Banks.
As a part of the Review of literature, the Reports of various Committees and Commissions
have been perused. Important among them are given below:
The Report of the Committee on the Financial System 1991 Chairman Shri
M.Narasimham (1991) by far is the most important document while discussing the
Reform process in Indian Banking. The following recommendations made by the Committee
which were largely implemented put the Indian Banking system on an even keel:

3.13 Terms & Concept UsedIn This Study 24
3.1: Bank
Bank is a financial institution that collects society’s surplus cash and gives a part of that as loan
to investors for earning profit. So, bank is an intermediary that makes relationship between the
owner of surplus savings and the investors of deficit capital.
A bank is a financial intermediary that creates credit by lending money to a borrower, thereby
creating a corresponding deposit on the bank's balance sheet. Lending activities can be
performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets. Due to their importance in the
financial system and influence on national economies, banks are highly regulated in most
countries.
3.2: Banking
Simply the activities of bank are referred as banking. It includes account opening, receiving
deposit; DD, TT issuing & receiving; loan disbursement & collection etc. All activities of bank
together are called banking.
Source: Dr. R.M. Debnath- (1994) Business of Banking.1st Edition
3.3 Credit
The word “Credit” is derived from Latin word “Credo” meaning ‘I believe’. It is usually defined as
one’s ability to buy with a promise to pay. In general credit means the granting of a period of
time by a creditor to a debtor at the expiration of which the latter must pay the debt.
From banker point of view, credit is the confidence of the lender on the ability and willingness of
the borrower to repay the debts at a future date.
Source: M.A. Matin (2008)- Credit Operations and Risk Management in Commercial Banks. P.-2
3.4: credit Management
Credit management includes all activities related with bank credit i.e., volume, mixes, level,
movements and the like.
Credit management is usually regarded as assuring that customers pay on time, credit costs are
kept low, and poor debts are managed in such a manner that payment is received without
damaging the relationship with those customers. An approved credit management policy can
offer assurances to a financing bank, which may facilitate financing.
3.5: Risk
Risks are usually defined by the adverse impact on profitability of several distinct sources of
uncertainty. While the types and degree of risks an organization may be exposed to depend upon
a number of factors such as its size, complexity business activities, volume etc. it is believed that
generally the banks face Credit, Market, Liquidity, Operational, Compliance / legal / regulatory
and reputation risks.
Risks are normally classified within 3 categories:
a) Risks inherent to the external context
b) Risks inherent to operative management
c) Risks inherent to financial management.
3.6: Risk Management
Risk Management is a discipline at the core of every financial institution and encompasses all the
activities that affect its risk profile. Proper risk management and internal control help
organizations understand the risks they are exposed to, put controls in place to counter threats,
and effectively pursue their objectives. They are therefore an important aspect of an
organization’s governance, management, and operations. Professional accountants can and
should play a leading role in helping their organizations achieve an integrated, organization-wide
approach to risk management and internal control—which ultimately helps create, enhance, and
protect stakeholder value.
3.7: Credit Risk
Credit risk is one of the major risks faced by the Bank. This can be described as potential loss
arising from the failure of a counter party to perform according to contractual arrangement with
the Bank. The failure may arise due to unwillingness of the counter party or decline in economic
condition etc. Bank's risk management has been designed to address all these issues.
3.8: Management Credit Risk
The Credit Risk management includes borrower risk analysis, industry risk analysis, historical
financial analysis, projected financial performance, the conduct of the account, and security of
proposed loan. The management originates from relationship manager/account officer and
approved by Credit Review Committee at Head Office. The Credit Committee under elevated
authority approves the credit proposals. Executive Committee of the Board approves the
proposals beyond the authority limit of the Management. The Board of Directors reviews the
proposals approved by the Executive Committee.
A credit risk management framework encompasses the scope of risks to be managed,
the process/systems and procedures to manage risk and the roles and responsibilities
of individuals involved in risk management. In broad sense credit risk management process
includes:
 Identification
 Assessment
 Control
 Monitoring
3.9: Credit Administration
Ongoing administration of the credit portfolio is an essential part of the credit process. Credit
administration function is basically a back office activity that support and control extension and
maintenance of credit. A typical credit administration unit performs following functions:
 Documentation
 Credit Disbursement
 Credit monitoring
 Loan Repayment
 Maintenance of Credit Files
 Collateral and Security Documents.
3.10: Rating Review
The rating review can be two-fold:
a) Continuous monitoring by those who assigned the rating. The Relationship Managers (RMs)
generally have aclosecontact with the borrower and are expected to keep an eye on the financial
stability of the borrower. In the event of any deterioration the ratings are immediately revised
/reviewed.
b) Secondly the risk review functions of the bank or business lines also conduct periodical review
of ratings at the time of risk review of credit portfolio.
Risk ratings should be assigned at the inception of lending, and updated at least annually.
Institutions should, however, review ratings as and when adverse events occur. A separate
function independent of loan origination should review Risk ratings.
3.11: Problem Credit
Problem credit refers to those which the borrowers do not return as and when required in spite
of repeated reminders and not able to show any acceptable reasons for such failure.
Source: Dr. A.R. Khan(1996) -Bank Management: A Fund Emphasis. P.-191
4.12: Managing Problem Credits
 The institution should establish a system that helps identify problem loan ahead of time
when there may be more options available for remedial measures.
 A bank’s credit risk policies should clearly set out how the bank will manage problem
credits. Banks differ on the methods and organization they use to manage problem
credits. When a bank has significant credit-related problems, it is important to segregate
the workout function from the credit origination function.
 A problem loan management process encompass following basic elements:
a. Negotiation and follow-up
b. Workout remedial strategies
c. Review of collateral and security document
d. Status Report and Review.

all level of customers. To that extent, MBL always emphasizes its customer services, product
development, resource management, branch networking and the contribution to the economic

therefore, try to provide quality services with competitive interest rates. MBL is not an

  • 11. 1.1 Introduction In recent days, people are becoming more aware about the management of their resources. As the banks do business by lending their depositors' money, they are more responsible to manage their credit portfolio smoothly. Bank’s reputation is a critical factor for its success and therefore multinational banks must follow appropriate guidelines, policies and relevant manuals regarding credit extension and recovery. The usage of banking service for any type of financial activities is increasing day by day. People are taking loans to start different types of businesses as well as other purposes. It is now very important to know the internal credit processes of the banks. Credit management ina bank is adynamic sector where a certain standard of long-rangeplanning is needed to allocate the fund in diverse field and to minimize the risk and maximizing the return on the invested fund. The credit policy of Mercantile Bank Limited (MBL) is a combination of certain accepted, time tested standards and other dynamic factors dictated by the realities of changing situations in different market places. MBL aims to become one of the leading banks in Bangladesh by prudence, flair and providing quality of credit operations in the banking sectors. MBL intends to meet the needs of their clients and enhance their profitability by providing best credit facilities. I tried to make an overall analysis of credit activities of Mercantile Bank Limited.
  • 12. 1.2 Statement of the problem Credit management evaluation is important for ensuring depositors` money and also the efficiency of the banking operation. MBL try their best manpower to ensure the highest return on investment of depositors` money and profitability of the bank. In my research report I tried my best to find out the credit management efficiency of the MBL based on the past few years annual report, half yearly report of 2015 and also cash flow statement and financial statement of the bank. This research also focusses on the probable best solution of the problem if any. 1.3 Rationale of the study In today’s world only academic education does not make a student perfect to become competitive with the outside world. Internship is a great opportunity to gain ideas, knowledge and experience with applying academic knowledge. Through the internship program, a student gets the opportunity to face with the real business world. It helps to build self-confidence, & interpersonal skills which is important for entrance as a fresher in job market. It is also beneficial for both a student & organization to upsurge relationship among them for further opportunities. As a mandatory part of my graduation, I took the opportunity to conduct my internship with one of the renowned private commercial bank in our country, Mercantile Bank Limited. In recent banking sector, MBL has already created a positive image to the customers’ mind by providing best banking service. This bank has introduced some modern banking scheme that has gotten high market demand. As the bank is maintaining the pace with the competitive business world, its activities, culture, philosophy and style would an intern student to be the best at any field of working life.
  • 13. 1.4 Objective of the report Objective of the report is divided into two categories. There are: general and specific objectives.  To find out the overall activities of credit management system.  To represent the procedures that bank follows for lending to the customers.  To describe the detailed operational procedure of the different credit facilities.  How they recover the bad debts and get back the uncollected advances.  To get significant knowledge how effectively loan and sanction procedure are conducted on the basis of evaluation credit risk management. 1.5 Scope of the Study This report is only based on the credit management activities of MBL. This report includes the credit management procedures under credit department of MBL. This report include deposit serviceof MBL. Besides this report does not include the services of other private and public commercial banks and non-banking institutions. 1.7 Limitation of the study There were certain limitation had to face in order to prepare this report. Some limitations are as follows:  There was a little scope to work at credit division in the bank for an intern student.  Limitation of time was one of the important factors that shortened the study.
  • 14.  MBL does not have rich and wealthy collection of various types of books or journals related to banking activities.  Confidentiality of data was another important barrier that was faced during the conduct of this study. Credit policy is an internal & confidential matter at a bank. Alike all other banking institutions, MBL is also very conservative and strict in providing financial information.

Methods of collection of data: Here I emphasized on the online media of collection of data.
  • 17. 2.2 Literature review: World Perspective The profit of a commercial bank depends primarily on the utilization of its fund. And the making of loan and advance is always profitable to a bank. As the bank mobilizes savings from the general people in the form of deposit, the most important task of it is to disburse the said deposit as loan or advance to the mass people for the development of commercial, industrial, who are in need of fund for investment. The studies related to the credit management of banks are limited. In this chapter an attempted has been made to focus on different studies in the banking sector. Crouhy, Gala, Marick (2001) Have summarized the core principles of enterprise wide Risk Management. As per the authors Risk Management culture should percolate from the Board Level to the lowest level employee. Firms will be required to make significant investment necessary to comply with the latest best practices in the new generation of Risk Regulation and Management. Corporate Governance regulation with the advent of Sarbanes-Oxley Act in US and several other legislations in various countries also provide the framework for sound Risk Management structures. Hitherto, Enterprise wide Risk Management existed only for name sake. Generally firms did not institute a truly integrated set of Risk measures, methodologies or Risk Management Architecture. The ensuing decades will usher in a new set of Risk Management tools encompassing all the activities of a Corporation. The integrated Risk Management infrastructure would cover areas like Corporate Compliance, Corporate Governance, capital Management etc. Areas like business risk, reputation risk and strategic risk also will be incorporated in the overall Risk Architecture more formally. As always it will be the Banks and the Financial Services firms which will lead the way in this evolutionary process. The compliance requirements of Basel II and III accords will also oblige Banks and Financial institutions to put in place robust Risk Management methodologies. The authors felt that it is generally felt that Risk Management concerns largely with activities within the firm. However, during the next decade Governments in different countries would desire to have innovatively drawn Risk Management systemfor the whole country. The authors draw reference to the suggestions of Nobel Laureate Robert Merton who suggested that a country with exposure to a few concentrated industries should be obliged to diversify its excessive exposures by arranging appropriate swaps with other countries with similar problems. Risk Management offers many other potential macro applications to improve the management
  • 18. of their social security measures etc. They draw references to the spread of Risk Management Education worldwide. Carl Felsenfeld (2007) outlined the patterns of international Banking regulation and the sources of governing law. He reviewed the present practices and evolving changes in the field of control systems and regulatory environment. The book dealt a wide area of regulatory aspects of Banking in the United States, regulation of international Banking, international Bank services and international monetary exchange. The work attempted in depth analysis of all aspects of Bank Regulation and Supervision. Money Laundering has been of serious concern worldwide. Its risk has wide ramifications. Money Laundering has leads to the fall of Banks like BCCI in the past. In this context the book on Anti-Money laundering: International Practice and Policies by John Broome Published by Sweet and Maxwell (August 2005) reviews the developments in the area of Money Laundering. The author explains with reference to case studies the possible effects of Money Laundering. The book gives a comprehensive account of the existing rules and practices and suggests several improvements to make the control systems and oversight more failsafe. Hannan and Hanweck (1988) Felt that the insolvency for Banks become true when current losses exhaust capital completely. It also occurs when the return on assets (ROA) is less than the negative capital asset ratio. The probability of insolvency is explained in terms of an equation p, 1/(2(Z2 ). The help of Z-statistics is commonly employed by Academicians in computing probabilities. Daniele Nouy (1995) elaborates the Basel Core Principles for effective Banking Supervision, its innovativeness, content and the challenges of quality implementation. Core Principles are a set of supervisory guidelines aimed at providing a general framework for effective Banking supervision in all countries. They are innovative in the way that they were developed by a mixed drafting group and they were comprehensive in coverage, providing a checklist of the principal features of a well-designed supervisory system. The core Principles specify preconditions for effective banking supervision characteristics of an effective supervisory body, need for credit risk management and elaborates on Principle 22 dealing with supervisory powers. Dearth of skilled human resources, poor financial strength of supervisor and consequent inability to retain talented staff, inadequate autonomy and the need for greater understanding of modern risk management techniques are identified as the main difficulties in quality implementation. The critical elements of infrastructure, legal framework that supports sound banking supervision and a credit culture that supports lending practices are
  • 19. the essence of a strong banking system. Widespread failures have occurred during a period of increased vulnerability that can be traced back to some regime change induced by policy or by external conditions. Patrick Honohan (2007) Explains the use of budgetary funds to help restructure a large failed Bank/Banking system and the various consequences associated with it. The article discusses how instruments can best be designed to restore Bank capital, liquidity and incentives. It considers how recapitalization can be modelled to ensure right incentives for new operators/managers to operate in a prudent manner ensuring good subsequent performance It discusses how Government’s budget and the interest of the tax payer can be protected and suggest that monetary policy should respond to the recapitalization rather determine its design. The author proposes the following four distinct policy tools to achieve four distinct goals-injecting assets, adjusting capital claims on the Banks, rebalancing the govt’s own debt management and managing monetary policy instruments to maintain stability. The author also assessed the effect of bank recapitalization for budget and debt management and implications for monetary policy and macro-economic environment in his article. Jacques de Larosiere (2008), Former Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund discusses the implications of the new Prudential Framework. He explains at length how the new Regulatory code could have some dangerous side effects. The increased capital requirements as decided by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in September 2010 will affect the amount of own funds would affect the profitability of the Banks. The consequences of such increased capital requirements would incentivize the Banks to transfer certain operations that are heavily taxed in terms of capital requirements to shadow banking to avoid the scope of regulation. The risks of such a practice might affect the financial stability. While the Central Banking authorities might contemplate registration and supervision of such shadow banking entities like the hedge funds and other pools, such a course might be more cumbersome than expected. The new regulation would result in the Banks to reduce activities with rather poor margins. For example they may reduce exposure to small and medium enterprises or increase credit costs or concentrate on more profitable but higher risk activities. He is also critical of the proposal of Basel to introduce an absolute leverage ratio that might push Banks to concentrate their assets in riskier operations. The author feels that the banking model which favors financial stability and economic growth might become the victim of the new prudential framework, and force Banks to search for assets with maximum returns despite the attendant risks. William Allen (1999) of Cass Business School, City University London strongly criticizes the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision announcement increasing the capital requirements as
  • 20. part of BaselIII. The aims of increasing the capital are two-fold. Firstly the objective is to increase the amount of liquid assets heldby Banks and reduce their reliance on short term funding. It also aims at limiting the extent to which Banks can achieve maturity transformation. This focus on liability management, as per him will prove counterproductive, as has been proved historically by the recent financial crisis. As a strategy to meet the new Capital Accord Banks will be forced to amass largeamounts of liquid assets,inaddition to the amounts they willneed to repay special facilities provided by the Governments and Central Banks. The liquidity coverage ratio envisaged in the Accord also will require Banks to hold 100% liquid asset coverage against liquidity commitments, and this will seriously impair the profitability of the Banks. The eligible liquid assets for this purpose will be predominantly Govt. Securities. This might motivate Governments to rely on this cheaper credit and some Governments may resort to abuse of this credit, thus creating a moral hazard. If a Government loses its creditworthiness, this will become 0% for Basel II purposes thus putting the Banks to a sudden jerk as the Securities would become ineligible as liquid assets. The author goes on to explain the conflict of interest of the members of the Basel Committee as some times these members are influenced by the Governments and their recommendations might not be taken as independent judgment. Thus the author thinks that this regulation is seriously defective. He opines that this serious lacuna could be removed by enlarging the opportunities for liquid assets to be created out of the Bank’s claims on the private sector as well. As per him, Commercial Bills could be considered to be eligible for this purpose as they are self-liquidating transactions. As commercial Bills are accepted by Banks, it is less likely that they will be in default. The cardinal point in liquidity management to be remembered is that Commercial Banks cannot aim at zero risk. In that case they would need to their assets in currency and would have to charge their customers for accepting deposits. The solution is not to aim thoughtlessly at excessive liquidity, but in putting in place Robust Risk Management practices. Abel Mateus (2010) which appeared also in the IUP Journal of Banking & Insurance Law, Vol.VIII, Nos.1 & 2, 2010 made a thorough study of the Regulatory reform requirements in the modern context after the global meltdown. He starts by summarizing the basicprinciples that should be covered in the financialreforms. He reviews the progress achieved by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. He discusses the unresolved issues like the relationship between competition policy and financial stabilization policies. He throws particular light on the oft quoted ‘Too- Big-To-Fail’ (TBTF) concept. He outlines measures to improve the supervision of capital markets to protect consumers and Investors. The articles discusses at length the revision of Bank Capital Requirements and Accounting Procedures, revising the role of Credit Rating Agencies, the supervision and regulation of Hedge Funds, Commodity Funds and private Equity Funds. Complex issues of Derivatives Regulation, Mortgage Securitization etc. Have also been discussed and the author came out with suggested methods to address these difficult issues.
  • 21. The LSE Report of the London School of Economics and Political Sciences is a very important document in analyzing the role of finance in the build-up to the recent crisis. The tax bail – bail- outs have been criticized and the gradual increase in the equity financing would shift the responsibility of any crisis towards the shareholders. As per Peter Boone and Simon Johnson, the global financial system is facing grave risks due to the bail-out policy of the Western Governments. As Regulatory bodies like the Central Banks are keen to increase the degree of oversight, the Banks would create new loopholes. The authors opine that in the absence of any international treaty for the regulation of global financial institutions, macro prudential measures and proper Risk Management systems are necessary for the management of financial system. As per Goodhart the cost of Bank failures can be very large which lends justification to impose tighter supervisory and regulatory measures. He argues that the proposals under the Basel III to increase the capital higher levels like 20-30% are very justified. This is strongly objected by Laurence Kotlikoff who feels such higher levels of capital would penalize the Shareholders and Depositors and goes against the very principle that Financial Institutions are agencies which should have the benefits of gearing. Bessone, Biagio (2012)feels that Banks are specialas they not only acceptand deploy largeamounts of uncollateralized public funds in a fiduciary capacity, but alsoleveragesuch funds through credit creation. Thus Banks have a fiduciary responsibility. Banks play a crucial role in deploying funds mobilized through deposits for financing economic activity and providing the lifelinefor the payments system. A wellregulated Banking System is very central to the country’s economy. The author examines the way Banking and other financial institutions interact with each other during different stages of economic development. As per the author the shareholders of the banks who are supposedly owners have only a minor stake and the considerable leveraging capacity of banks put them in control of very large volume of public funds, though their actual stake may be very limited say sometimes only ten per cent or even lower. The author feels that in the light of this leveraging capacity, the Banks should act as trustees. The author underlines the need for the Supervisors and Regulators of the country’s Banking system to discharge the onerous responsibility of ensuring that the Bank Managements fulfill this fiduciary relationship well, as in a developing economy there is far less tolerance for downside risks among depositors, many of whom place their life savings in the Banks. The author feels that diversification of ownership is desirable as the risk of concentration of ownership can lead to moral hazard problem and linkages of owners with businesses. When the ownership is diversified there is greater need for corporate governance and professional management in order to safeguard the depositors’ interest and ensure systemic stability. Hence the regulatory and supervisory framework has to ensure that banks follow prudent and transparent accounting practices and are managed in accordance with the best practices for risk management.
  • 22. G.Dalai, D.Rutherberg, M.Sarnat and B.Z.Schreiber (2004) Risk is intrinsic to banking. However the management of risk has gained prominence in view of the growing sophistication of banking operations, derivatives trading, securities underwriting and corporate advisory business etc. Risks have also increased on account of the on-line electronic banking, provision of bill presentation and payment services etc. The major risks faced by financial institutions are of course credit risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk. Credit risk management requires that Banks develop loan assessment policies and administration of loan portfolio, fixing prudential per borrower, per group limits etc. The tendency for excessive dependence on collateral should also be looked into. The other weaknesses in Credit Risk Management are inadequate risk pricing, absence of loan review mechanism and post sanction surveillance. Interest rate risk arises due to changes in interest rates significantly impacting the net interest income, mismatches between the time when interest rates on asset and liability are reset etc. Management of interest rate risk involves employing methods like Value-at- Risk (VaR), a standard approach to assess potential loss that could crystallize on trading portfolio due to variations in market interest rates and prices. Foreign Exchange risk is due to running open positions. The risk of open positions of late has increased due to wide variations in exchange risks. The Board of Directors should law down strict intra-day and overnight positions to ensure that the Foreign Exchange risk is under control. Chief Risk Officer, Alden Toevs (2008) of Commonwealth Bank of Australia states that a major failure of risk management highlighted by the globalfinancialcrisis was the inability of financial institutions to view risk on a holistic basis. ‘The global financial crisis exposed, with chilling clarity, the dangers of thinking in silos, particularly where risk management is concerned’ says the author. The malady is due to the Banks focusing on individual risk exposures without taking into consideration the broader picture. As per the author the root of the problem is the failure of the Banks to consider risks on an enterprise-wide basis. The new relevance and urgency for implementing the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is due to the regulatory insistence with a number of proposals to ensure that institutions stay focused on the big picture. In a way the Three Pillar Approach frame work of the Basel II Accord is an effort to fulfill this requirement. The risk weighted approaches to Credit Risk on the basis of the asset quality, allocation of capital to Operational Risk and Market Risks nearly capture all the risks attendant to a Bank’s functioning.
  • 23. 2.3 Literature review: Indian Subcontinent Perspective Rekha Arunkumar and Koteshwar (2010) feel that the Credit Risk is the oldest and biggest risk that Banks, by virtue of their very nature of business inherit. The pre-dominance of credit risk is the main component in the capital allocation. As per their estimate credit risk takes the major part of the Risk Management apparatus accounting for over 70 per cent of all Risks. As per them the Market Risk and Operational Risk are important, but more attention needs to be paid to the Credit Risk Management in Banks. Reserve Bank of India, Volume 3, 1967-81 gives very valuable account of the evolution of Central Banking in India. This third volume describes vividly the background against which the Reserve Bank of India came into being on April 1, 1935. Before the establishment of the Reserve Bank, the Central Banking functions were handled by the Imperial Bank of India. The Royal Commission on Indian Currency and Finance (Hilton Young Commission) 1926 recommended that there is conflict of interest in the Imperial Bank of India functioning as the controller of currency while also functioning as a Commercial Bank. After detailed analysis on the ownership, constitution and composition of the ownership, RBI was established by a Bill in the Legislative Assembly. It was in 1948 that the Reserve Bank of India was nationalized under the RBI(Transfer to Public Ownership) Act, 1948. The earlier volumes viz., Volume I and Volume II covered the developments in Central Banking up to 1967. Volume III covers the period 1967 to 1981. This is the most dynamic period in the history of Commercial Banking. The Government was very critical of the attitudes of the Private Banks for their failure to be socially responsible, which led the Govt. To impose social control on Banks. Mrs. Indira Gandhi nationalized 14 Banks during July 1969. Reserve Bank was given newer responsibilities in terms of the Developmental role. The RBI was assigned not only the role of maintaining monetary and fiscal stability but also the developmental role of establishing institutional framework to complement commercial banking to help agriculture, SSI and Export Sectors. RBI,despite the criticismof not enjoying adequate autonomy due to the interference of the Finance Ministry (with Govt. Ownership of most Banking Companies) has been able to commendably discharge the regulatory functions.
  • 24. True it was during this period that the performance of the Indian Banks deteriorated with most Nationalized Banks wiping out their capital and their Balance Sheets showing huge negativities in terms of quality of assets etc. The period covered by the Volume III is the pre-liberalization and pre-reform period and the Reserve Bank had to compromise on its regulatory and supervisory role in view of the Govt. Control over Banks. Banking Law and Regulation 2005 published by Aspen Publishers looks at the regulatory practices relating to Banks and Financial Institutions. The book analyses the various provisions of the Gramm-Leach Baily Act, 1999, the Financial Institutions Recovery and Enforcement Act 2002, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act 2003. S.K.Bagchi (2006) observed that in the world of finance more specifically in Banking, Credit Risk is the most predominant risk in Banking and occupies roughly 90-95 per cent of risk segment. The remaining fraction is on account of Market Risk, Operations Risk etc. He feels that so much of concern on operational risk is misplaced. As per him, it may be just one to two per cent of Bank’s risk. For this small fraction, instituting an elaborate mechanism may be unwarranted. A well laid out Risk Management System should give its best attention to Credit Risk and Market Risk. In instituting the Risk Management apparatus, Banks seem to be giving equal priority to these three Risks viz., Credit Risk, Operational Risk and Market Risk. This may prove counter-productive. Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets Enactment of Security Interest Act, 2002. (SARFAESI ACT). (42) Govt. Of India has taken the initiative of making the legislation to help Banks to provide better Risk Management for their asset portfolio. Risk Management of the Loan book has been posing a challenge to the Banks and Financial Institutions which are helpless in view of the protracted legal processes. The act enables Banks to realize their dues without intervention of Courts and Tribunals. As a part of the Risk Management strategies, Banks can set up Asset Management Companies (AMC) to acquire Non Performing Assets of Banks and Financial agencies by paying the consideration in the form of Debentures, Bonds etc. This relieves the Bank transferring the asset to concentrate on their loan book to secure that the quality of the portfolio does not deteriorate. The actcontains severe penalties on the debtors. The AMC is vested with the power of issuing notices to the Borrowers calling for repayment within 60 days. If the borrower fails to meet the commitment, the AMC can take possession of the secured assets and appoint any Agency to manage the secured assets. Borrowers are given the option of appealing to the Debt Tribunal, but only after paying 75% of the amount claimed by the AMC. There are strict provisions of penalties for offences or default by the securitization or reconstruction company. In caseof default in registration of transactions, the company officials would be fined up to.

This has proved to be a very effective Risk Management Tool in the hands of the Banks. The Report of the Banking Commission 1972 RBI Mumbai. The Commission made several recommendations for making the Indian Banking system healthier. The commission observed that the systemof controls and supervisory oversight were lax and underlined the need for closure supervision of Banks to avoid Bank failures. However most of the recommendations of the Commission lost their relevance in view of the priorities of the Government which is more concerned with its political compulsions. The nationalization of Banks and the tight control on the Banks of the Govt. Left little scope for implementation of the recommendations of the Commission. If only the recommendations which are meant to restore tighter regulatory measures, strengthening of the internal control systems and professionalization of the Bank Boards were properly appreciated and implementation, Indian Banks would not have ended in the mess of erosion of capital, mounting burden of non-performing assets etc. A well-known study analyzing the performance of Commercial Banks in India was conducted by Vashist (1991). Avtar Krishna Vashist: Public Sector Banks in India – H,.K.Publishers & Distributors, New Delhi 1991. In order to find out relative performance of different Banks, composite weighted growth index, relative growth index and average growth index of Banks were constructed. The study revealed that Commercial Banks did well with respect to Branch expansion, deposit mobilization and deployment of credit to the Priority Sectors. But they showed poor performance in terms of profitability. After identifying the causes of the decline in profitability a number of suggestions were made to improve the performance of Commercial Banks in the Country. Dr.Atul Mehrotra, Dean, Vishwakarma Institute of Management emphasizes the need for promotion of Corporate Governance in Banks in these uncertain and risky times. This paper discussed at length Corporate Governance related aspects in Banks as also touches upon the principles for enhancing Corporate Governance in Banks as suggested by BCBS. The author felt that despite the RBI’s initiatives on the recommendations of the Consultative Group of Directors of Banks/Financial Institutions under the Chairmanship of Dr.A.S.Ganguly, member of the Board for Financial Supervision, there is more ground to be covered before Indian Banks are in a position to attain good Governance Standards. As per the author he Public Sector Banks with Government ownership control almost over 80 per cent of banking business in India. This complicates the role of the Reserve Bank of India as the regulator of the financial system. The role of the Government performing simultaneously multiple functions such as the manager, owner, quasi-regulator and sometimes even as super-

Unless there is clarity in the role of the Government, and unless Boards of the banks are given the desired level of autonomy, it will be difficult to set up healthy governance standards in the Banks.

Important among them are given below: The Report of the Committee on the Financial System 1991 Chairman Shri M.Narasimham (1991) by far is the most important document while discussing the Reform process in Indian Banking.

So, bank is an intermediary that makes relationship between the owner of surplus savings and the investors of deficit capital. A bank is a financial intermediary that creates credit by lending money to a borrower, thereby creating a corresponding deposit on the bank's balance sheet. Lending activities can be performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets. Due to their importance in the financial system and influence on national economies, banks are highly regulated in most countries. 3.2: Banking Simply the activities of bank are referred as banking. It includes account opening, receiving deposit; DD, TT issuing & receiving; loan disbursement & collection etc. All activities of bank together are called banking. Source: Dr. R.M. Debnath- (1994) Business of Banking.1st Edition 3.3 Credit The word “Credit” is derived from Latin word “Credo” meaning ‘I believe’. It is usually defined as one’s ability to buy with a promise to pay. In general credit means the granting of a period of time by a creditor to a debtor at the expiration of which the latter must pay the debt. From banker point of view, credit is the confidence of the lender on the ability and willingness of the borrower to repay the debts at a future date.

  • 29. 3.4: credit Management Credit management includes all activities related with bank credit i.e., volume, mixes, level, movements and the like. Credit management is usually regarded as assuring that customers pay on time, credit costs are kept low, and poor debts are managed in such a manner that payment is received without damaging the relationship with those customers. An approved credit management policy can offer assurances to a financing bank, which may facilitate financing. 3.5: Risk Risks are usually defined by the adverse impact on profitability of several distinct sources of uncertainty. While the types and degree of risks an organization may be exposed to depend upon a number of factors such as its size, complexity business activities, volume etc. it is believed that generally the banks face Credit, Market, Liquidity, Operational, Compliance / legal / regulatory and reputation risks. Risks are normally classified within 3 categories: a) Risks inherent to the external context b) Risks inherent to operative management c) Risks inherent to financial management. 3.6: Risk Management Risk Management is a discipline at the core of every financial institution and encompasses all the activities that affect its risk profile. Proper risk management and internal control help organizations understand the risks they are exposed to, put controls in place to counter threats, and effectively pursue their objectives. They are therefore an important aspect of an organization’s governance, management, and operations. Professional accountants can and

This can be described as potential loss arising from the failure of a counter party to perform according to contractual arrangement with the Bank. The failure may arise due to unwillingness of the counter party or decline in economic condition etc. Bank's risk management has been designed to address all these issues. 3.8: Management Credit Risk The Credit Risk management includes borrower risk analysis, industry risk analysis, historical financial analysis, projected financial performance, the conduct of the account, and security of proposed loan. The management originates from relationship manager/account officer and approved by Credit Review Committee at Head Office. The Credit Committee under elevated authority approves the credit proposals. Executive Committee of the Board approves the proposals beyond the authority limit of the Management. The Board of Directors reviews the proposals approved by the Executive Committee. A credit risk management framework encompasses the scope of risks to be managed, the process/systems and procedures to manage risk and the roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in risk management.

A typical credit administration unit performs following functions:  Documentation  Credit Disbursement  Credit monitoring  Loan Repayment  Maintenance of Credit Files  Collateral and Security Documents. 3.10: Rating Review The rating review can be two-fold: a) Continuous monitoring by those who assigned the rating. The Relationship Managers (RMs) generally have aclosecontact with the borrower and are expected to keep an eye on the financial stability of the borrower. In the event of any deterioration the ratings are immediately revised /reviewed. b) Secondly the risk review functions of the bank or business lines also conduct periodical review of ratings at the time of risk review of credit portfolio. Risk ratings should be assigned at the inception of lending, and updated at least annually. Institutions should, however, review ratings as and when adverse events occur. A separate function independent of loan origination should review Risk ratings.
