give. If a branch is in rural, thrust should be on agri sector loans, and so on. This gives

an opportunity for a bank/branch to gather maximum profit with minimum staff, as the

customer is ready. Precaution: While disbursement, the financials and history to be

checked to prevent NPA in future.

loans with other banks. In short, acquiring other bank‘s customers for business growth.

Credit Appraisal :



CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT (CRA)

The CRA models adopted by the Bank take into account all possible factors into

appraising the risks, associated with a loan.

These have been categorized broadly into financial, business, industrial & management

risks are rated separately.





These factors duly weighted are aggregated to arrive at a credit decision whether loan

should be given or not

Validation of proposal:

It is done considering 5 key factors below:

1. CIBIL Score and Report: It is one of the most important factor that affects your

loan approval. A good credit score and report is a positive indicator of your credit

health.

2. Employment Status: Apart from a good credit history, banks also check for

your steady income and employment status.

3. Account Details: Suit filed or written off cases are carefully examined by banks.

4. Payment History: Banks check for any default on payments or amount overdue

cases, which might project a negative overview of your overall report.

5. EMI to Income Ratio: Banks also consider the proportion of your existing loans

when compared to your salary at the time of loan application. Your chances of loan

approval gets reduced if your total EMI‘s exceed your monthly salary by 50%.

Apart from your CIBIL Score, loan eligibility criteria differs from bank to bank and across

loan types. However, some of the basic requirements in terms of documentation are:

 Identity Proof: Aadhar Card, Valid Passport, Driving License, Voters ID or PAN

Card

 Address Proof: Aadhar Card, Valid Passport, Driving License, Voters ID or Utility

Bills

 Proof of Employment: Salary slip, Official ID card or letter from company

 Income Proof: Latest 3 months Bank Statement, salary slip for last 3 months

 3 Passport size photographs





Dimensions of Credit Appraisals

Six ―C‖ s

1. Character



You are considered to have good credit character when you live up to your

financial and credit agreements. Paying bills on time and meeting financial

obligations are signs of good character.

Your credit score and your credit history are good ways for a bank to learn about

your character or credit reputation and how well you pay your credit obligations.

2. Capacity

Capacity reflects your ability to repay a loan or other financial agreement.

Potential creditors want to see that you‘ll have enough cash left over after paying

your fixed monthly expenses to repay a new credit or loan account.

3. Capital

A potential bank also will assess your capital. Wondering if you have any?

Subtract all your debts from your assets, including any property that you may own,

and this is your capital. Banks and creditors like to see that you have enough

capital to handle another loan or credit account before approving you for new

credit.

4. Conditions

Banks look at conditions such as the stability of your employment, your other

debts and financial obligations, and how often you‘ve moved in the past year when

considering whether to approve you for a loan. The longer you‘ve been in a job

and the less frequently you‘ve moved the more stable your life conditions appear

to potential creditors and banks.

5. Collateral

Collateral is any property or possession that can be used as security for a

payment of a debt. For example, a home or automobile serve as collateral against

the loans you might take out to purchase them. Banks like collateral because it

guarantees them against a total loss if you fail to repay your loan. If that happens,

your collateral may be sold or repossessed to repay your financial obligation.

6. Cash Flow

adequate cash flow to repay a new loan.

Income in each month

Are you paid regularly, or does your income fluctuate based on seasonality or

other factors?

A Bank wants to make sure you have enough cash flowing your way on a regular

basis so that you can pay for a new credit obligation.
