Credit conversion factor - The credit conversion factor (CCF) converts the amount of a free credit line and other off-balance-sheet transactions (with the exception of derivatives) to an EAD (exposure at default) amount. This function is used to calculate the exposure at default. CHIPS - Clearing House Interbank Payments System CHAPS - Clearing House Automated Payment System Coupon swap - A zero coupon swap is an exchange of income streams in which the stream of floating interest-rate payments is made periodically, as it would be in a plain vanilla swap, but the stream of fixed-rate payments is made as one lump-sum payment when the swap reaches maturity instead of periodically over the life of the swap. Word Mine in dealing room - Dealer takes the spot/forward/deposit whichever has been quoted from the counter party. It is dangerous to use the expression unless amounts have been qualified first. - Intrinsic Risk Gone concern - Defunct firm or one in the process of being wound up. Debts of such firms become due immediately in full, their market value is determined on the basis of auction or liquidation value of their tangible assets, and their goodwill counts for nothing. Abbreviation of EMV chip - Europay, MasterCard and Visa Provision coverage ratio = Cumulative provisions / Gross NPAs Intrinsic risk - Risk does not mean volatility; risk means losing your money. That happens when a business fails to deliver the operating performance embodied in the price an investor paid to acquire it. Call risk - Call risk is the risk that a bond issuer will redeem its bonds before they mature. Certificate of deposit - A certificate of deposit (CD) is a savings certificate entitling the bearer to receive interest. A CD bears a maturity date, a specified fixed interest rate and can be issued in any denomination. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks. The original Basel III rule from 2010 required banks to fund themselves with 4.5% of common equity (up from 2% in Basel II) of riskweighted assets (RWAs). Since 2015, a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 4.5% must be maintained at all times by the bank.[3] This ratio is calculated as follows: CET1/RWAs >= 4.5 % The minimum Tier 1 capital increases from 4% in Basel II to 6%,[3] applicable in 2015, over RWAs.[4] This 6% is composed of 4.5% of CET1, plus an extra 1.5% of Additional Tier 1 (AT1). Furthermore, Basel III introduced two additional capital buffers: A mandatory "capital conservation buffer", equivalent to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Considering the 4.5% CET1 capital ratio required, banks have to hold a total of 7% CET1 capital, from 2019 onwards. A "discretionary counter-cyclical buffer", allowing national regulators to require up to an additional 2.5% of capital during periods of high credit growth. The level of this buffer ranges between 0% and 2.5% of RWA and must be met by CET1 capital. MSF - Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate refers to the rate at which the scheduled banks can borrow funds overnight from RBI against government securities. MSF is a very short term borrowing scheme for scheduled commercial banks. Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) - 7.00% (w.e.f. 05/04/2016). Decreased from 8.25% which was continuing since 02/06/2015 European option - A European option is an option that can only be exercised at the end of its life, at its maturity. European options tend to sometimes trade at a discount to its comparable American option. This is because American options allow investors more opportunities to exercise the contract. Yield - The income return on an investment. This refers to the interest or dividends received from a security and is usually expressed annually as a percentage based on the investment's cost, its current market value or its face value. BPV - BPV is a method that is used to measure interest rate risk. It is sometimes referred to as a delta or DV01. It is often used to measure the interest rate risk associated with swap trading books, bond trading portfolios and money market books.

Rs. 42.5 lacs c. Rs. 38.5 lacs d. Rs. 34 lacs Ans - c Explanation : ECGC had settled Rs. 49 lacs on default of 70 Lacs (That is 70% of the default amount) But Subsequent to that settlement, Rs. 15 lacs was realised through the security held. So, the claim amount from ECGC should be, 55 Lacs only from ECGC. And the ECGC had settled only 70 % of the claim amount. So, the settlement amount will be, 70% of Rs. 55 lacs = 5500000 x 70/100 = 38.5 lacs So, actual amount settled by ECGC = Rs. 38.5 lacs .. Asset in doubtful category for 2 years – Rs. 500000/- Realization value of security – Rs. 300000/- What will be the provision requirement? a. Rs. 500000/- b. Rs. 320000/- c. Rs. 200000/- d. Rs. 175000/- Ans - b Explanation Provision for secured portion of Doubtful Cat for 2 years = 40% Provision for unsecured portion of Doubtful Cat for 2 years = 100% Here, Secured portion = Rs. 300000 Unsecured portion = Rs. 200000 Provision = (300000 * 40/100) + 200000 = 120000 + 200000 = 320000 .. An advance of Rs. 400000/- has been declared sub standard on 31/05/2015. It is covered by securities with realizable value of Rs. 250000/-. What will be the total provision in the account as on 31/03/2015? a. 150000 b. 75000 c. 55000 d. 50000 Ans - b Explanation : Sub standard assets will attract provision of 15 % for secured portion and 25 % for unsecured portion. Please refer “http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/notification/PDFs/62MCIRAC290613.pdf” Page - 25, Para – 5.4. So, = 15% of 250000 + 25% of of 150000 = 37500 + 37500 = 75000 ..

ABC Bank has the following re-pricing assets and liabilities (Rs. in crores): Call Money - 600 Cash Credit Loans - 480 Cash in Hand - 500 Saving Bank - 600 FD - 600 Current Depost - 600 Now, answer the following based on the above information. 1. What is the adjusted gap in re-pricing assets and liabilities? Adjusted gap : = (SB + FD) - (Call money + CC) = (600 + 600) - (600 + 480) = 1200 - 1080 = Rs.120cr (Rs. 120 cr Negative Gap, because assets are less than liabilities) The cash in hand and current account deposits are not subject to re-pricing as these are not interest bearing, hence these have been ignored. 2. What is the change in NII, if interest rate falls by 3% points for all assets and liabilities? There is negative gap (interest bearing liabilities more) of Rs.120cr [(600+600)-(600+480)]. Which means the interest cost declines @2% on this negative gap, which leads to increase in NII. Hence it is Rs.120cr * 3% = Rs. 3.60cr increase in NII 3. What is the change in NII, if interest rate increase by 3% points for all assets and liabilities? There is negative gap (interest bearing liabilities more) of Rs.120cr [(600+600)-(600+480)]. Which means the interest cost increases @3% on this negative gap, which leads to decline in NII. Hence it is Rs.120cr * 3% = Rs. 3.60cr decline in NII 4. What is the change in NII, if interest rate falls on call money by 1%, SB by 0.2%, FD by 1% and CC by 0.6%? Fall in interest income in case of assets = (Call- 600 * 1% = 6.00cr) + (Cash credit- 480 * 0.6% = 2.88) = Rs.8.88cr. Fall in interest expenses in case of liabilities = (SB- 600 * 0.2 = 1.20cr) + (FD- 600 + 1% = 6.00 cr) = 7.20cr Net Decline = 8.88cr - 7.20cr = 1.68cr 5. What is the change in NII, if interest rate increases on call money by 0.5%, SB by 0.1%, FD by 0.8% and CC by 1%? Increase in interest amount in case of assets : = (Call- 600 * 0.5% = 3.00cr) + (Cash credit- 480 * 1% = 4.80) = Rs.7.80cr. Increase in interest amount in case of liabilities : = (SB- 600 * 0.1 = 0.60cr) + (FD- 600 * 0.8% = 4.80cr) = 5.40cr Net improvement = 7.80cr - 5.40cr = 2.40cr .. ABC Bank provides following information: Rs.in crores - 1 st year Net profits - 250 Provisions - 300 Staff expenses - 350 Other operating expenses - 150 Other income - 400 Rs.in crores - 2nd year Net profits - 200 Provisions - 250 Staff expenses - 300 Other operating expenses - 250 Other income - 500 Answer the following questions, based on the above information : 1. What is the amount of capital charge for operational risk, on the basis of 1st year results alone as per Basic indicator approach. Capital charge = Gross income * 15% Gross income = net profit + provisions + staff expenses + other operating expenses = 250 + 300 + 350 + 150 = 1050 cr Capital charge = 1050 * 15% = 157.50 cr 2. What is the amount of capital charge for operational risk, on the basis of 2nd year results alone as per Basic indicator approach. Capital charge = Gross income * 15% Gross income = net profit + provisions + staff expenses + other operating expenses = 200 + 250 + 300 + 250 = 1000 cr Capital charge = 1000 * 15% = 150 cr 3. What is the amount of capital charge for operational risk, on the basis of 1st and 2nd year results as per Basic indicator approach. Capital charge = Gross income * 15% Gross income = net profit + provisions + staff expenses + other operating expenses 1st year = 250 + 300 + 350 + 150 = 1050 cr 2nd year = 200 + 250 + 300 + 250 = 1000 cr Average gross income =(1050 + 1000) / 2 = 2050 / 2 = 1025 cr Capital charge = 1025 * 15% = 153.75 cr 4. What is the amount of risk weighted assets for operational risk as per Basel 2 recommendations, on the basis of 1st year results alone, as per Basic indicator approach? RWA = Capital charge / 8% = 157.50 / 8% = Rs.1968.75 cr 5. What is the amount of risk weighted assets for operational risk as per Basel 2 recommendations, on the basis of 2nd year results alone? RWA = Capital charge / 8% = 150 / 8% = Rs.1875 cr 6. What is the amount of risk weighted assets for operational risk as per Basel 2 recommendations, on the basis of 1st year and 2nd results? RWA = Capital charge / 8% = 153.75 / 8% = Rs.1921.88 cr .. BASEL III 3 Pillars of BASEL III The basic structure of Basel III remains unchanged with three mutually reinforcing pillars. Pillar 1 : Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements based on Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs) : Maintaining capital calculated through credit, market and operational risk areas. Pillar 2 : Supervisory Review Process : Regulating tools and frameworks for dealing with peripheral risks that banks face. Pillar 3: Market Discipline : Increasing the disclosures that banks must provide to increase the transparency of banks Major Features of Basel III ? (a) Better Capital Quality : One of the key elements of Basel 3 is the introduction of much stricter definition of capital. Better quality capital means the higher loss-absorbing capacity. This in turn will mean that banks will be stronger, allowing them to better withstand periods of stress. (b) Capital Conservation Buffer: Another key feature of Basel iii is that now banks will be required to hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. The aim of asking to build conservation buffer is to ensure that banks maintain a cushion of capital that can be used to absorb losses during periods of financial and economic stress. (c) Countercyclical Buffer: This is also one of the key elements of Basel III. The countercyclical buffer has been introducted with the objective to increase capital requirements in good times and decrease the same in bad times. The buffer will slow banking activity when it overheats and will encourage lending when times are tough i.e. in bad times. The buffer will range from 0% to 2.5%, consisting of common equity or other fully loss-absorbing capital. (d) Minimum Common Equity and Tier 1 Capital Requirements : The minimum requirement for common equity, the highest form of loss-absorbing capital, has been raised under Basel III from 2% to 4.5% of total risk-weighted assets. The overall Tier 1 capital requirement, consisting of not only common equity but also other qualifying financial instruments, will also increase from the current minimum of 4% to 6%. Although the minimum total capital requirement will remain at the current 8% level, yet the required total capital will increase to 10.5% when combined with the conservation buffer. (e) Leverage Ratio: A review of the financial crisis of 2008 has indicted that the value of many assets fell quicker than assumed from historical experience. Thus, now Basel III rules include a leverage ratio to serve as a safety net. A leverage ratio is the relative amount of capital to total assets (not risk-weighted). This aims to put a cap on swelling of leverage in the banking sector on a global basis. 3% leverage ratio of Tier 1 will be tested before a mandatory leverage ratio is introduced in January 2018. (f) Liquidity Ratios: Under Basel III, a framework for liquidity risk management will be created. A new Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) are to be introduced in 2015 and 2018, respectively. (g) Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFI) : As part of the macro-prudential framework, systemically important banks will be expected to have loss-absorbing capability beyond the Basel III requirements. Options for implementation include capital surcharges, contingent capital and bail-in-debt. Comparison of Capital Requirements under Basel II and Basel III : Requirements Under Basel II Under Basel III Minimum Ratio of Total Capital To RWAs 8% 10.50% Minimum Ratio of Common Equity to RWAs 2% 4.50% to 7.00% Tier I capital to RWAs 4% 6.00% Core Tier I capital to RWAs 2% 5.00% Capital Conservation Buffers to RWAs None 2.50% Leverage Ratio None 3.00% Countercyclical Buffer None 0% to 2.50% Minimum Liquidity Coverage Ratio None TBD (2015) Minimum Net Stable Funding Ratio None TBD (2018) Systemically important Financial Institutions Charge None TBD (2011) .. 1. Wish you all the very best for your exam. ............ Credit conversion factor - The credit conversion factor (CCF) converts the amount of a free credit line and other off-balance-sheet transactions (with the exception of derivatives) to an EAD (exposure at default) amount. This function is used to calculate the exposure at default. CHIPS - Clearing House Interbank Payments System CHAPS - Clearing House Automated Payment System Coupon swap - A zero coupon swap is an exchange of income streams in which the stream of floating interest-rate payments is made periodically, as it would be in a plain vanilla swap, but the stream of fixed-rate payments is made as one lump-sum payment when the swap reaches maturity instead of periodically over the life of the swap. Word Mine in dealing room - Dealer takes the spot/forward/deposit whichever has been quoted from the counter party. It is dangerous to use the expression unless amounts have been qualified first. - Intrinsic Risk Gone concern - Defunct firm or one in the process of being wound up. Debts of such firms become due immediately in full, their market value is determined on the basis of auction or liquidation value of their tangible assets, and their goodwill counts for nothing. Abbreviation of EMV chip - Europay, MasterCard and Visa Provision coverage ratio = Cumulative provisions / Gross NPAs Intrinsic risk - Risk does not mean volatility; risk means losing your money. That happens when a business fails to deliver the operating performance embodied in the price an investor paid to acquire it. Call risk - Call risk is the risk that a bond issuer will redeem its bonds before they mature. Certificate of deposit - A certificate of deposit (CD) is a savings certificate entitling the bearer to receive interest. A CD bears a maturity date, a specified fixed interest rate and can be issued in any denomination. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks. The original Basel III rule from 2010 required banks to fund themselves with 4.5% of common equity (up from 2% in Basel II) of riskweighted assets (RWAs). Since 2015, a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 4.5% must be maintained at all times by the bank.[3] This ratio is calculated as follows: CET1/RWAs >= 4.5 % The minimum Tier 1 capital increases from 4% in Basel II to 6%,[3] applicable in 2015, over RWAs.[4] This 6% is composed of 4.5% of CET1, plus an extra 1.5% of Additional Tier 1 (AT1). Furthermore, Basel III introduced two additional capital buffers: A mandatory "capital conservation buffer", equivalent to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Considering the 4.5% CET1 capital ratio required, banks have to hold a total of 7% CET1 capital, from 2019 onwards. A "discretionary counter-cyclical buffer", allowing national regulators to require up to an additional 2.5% of capital during periods of high credit growth. The level of this buffer ranges between 0% and 2.5% of RWA and must be met by CET1 capital. MSF - Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate refers to the rate at which the scheduled banks can borrow funds overnight from RBI against government securities. MSF is a very short term borrowing scheme for scheduled commercial banks. Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) - 7.00% (w.e.f. 05/04/2016). Decreased from 8.25% which was continuing since 02/06/2015 European option - A European option is an option that can only be exercised at the end of its life, at its maturity. European options tend to sometimes trade at a discount to its comparable American option. This is because American options allow investors more opportunities to exercise the contract. Yield - The income return on an investment. This refers to the interest or dividends received from a security and is usually expressed annually as a percentage based on the investment's cost, its current market value or its face value. BPV - BPV is a method that is used to measure interest rate risk. It is sometimes referred to as a delta or DV01. It is often used to measure the interest rate risk associated with swap trading books, bond trading portfolios and money market books.
