PLEDGE
Pledge is defined in section 172 of Indian Contract Act
Pledge is the bailment of goods as a security for payment of a debt or performance of a promise.
Bailment is defined in Indian Contract Act.
Bailment means delivery of goods with some purpose and with the condition that when the purpose
is accomplished the goods will be delivered back to the.bailor.
Pledge can be only in respect of movable goods like stocks. On Railway receipt also charge is
created by pledge.
In the case of pledge, ownership remains with the borrower; only possession is transferred to the banker.
The bank as a pledgee must take care of the goods pledged as a person of ordinary prudence would
take of his own goods of the same value.
Bank can sell the goods without intervention of the court in case the pledgor fails to repay the bank
loan. But the sale can be done only after giving reasonable notice to the pledgor.
Bank as a pledgee has priority in right over the goods and Bank's right of sale under pledge cannot
be extinguished even by lawful seizure of goods pledged to it.
HYPOTHECATION
Hypothecation is defined in Section 2 of Sarfaesi Act.
Hypothecation is also done onmoveable property like stocks.
In case of hypothecation both ownership as well as possession remains with the borrower i.e. neither
ownership nor possession is transferred to the bank.

When stocks are hypothecated to the bank, the charge is floating charge.

Accounts numerical

1.
Find total assets if DER = 2:1, CL = 8 lac, equity = 4 lac.

Since total assets = debt + equity + liability
=> total assets = debt + 4 + 8
=> debt = TA - 12

Since DER = debt / equity
=>2:1 = (TA - 12) / 4
so, TA = 20 lacs Ans

2.
Find equity, given assets = 200 lac, DER = 2:1, CL = 56 lac.

Since DER = debt / equity
=> 2:1 = debt / equity
so, debt = 2 × equity

Since total assets = debt + equity + liability
=> 200 = 2 × equity+ equity + 56
So, equity = 48 lacs Ans

3.
Find NWC, given CR = 2.5:1 & CA = 30 lac.

Since CR = CA / CL & NWC = CA - CL
=> 2.5:1 = 30 / CL
=> CL = 12
and NWC = 30 - 12 = 18 lac Ans

4.
Suppose CR is 4:1, NWC is Rs 30000/-, what is CA?

Since CR = CA / CL & NWC = CA - CL => CL = CA - NWC
=> 4:1 = CA / (CA - 30000)
so, CA = Rs 40000 Ans

5.
An account became NPA on 05042009. The outstanding in the account is 10 lacs. Realisable value of security is 7 lacs. The balance including Rs 50000 as recorded and suspended interest. How much provision is required to be made on 31032010?


6.
Total current assets of a company is Rs 32 crore and the NWC is Rs 8 crore. The ratio is ___.
(Note:
Current asset = stock, debtors, loans etc
Total asset = current assets + non current assets
Non Current Assets = goodwill, preliminary exp)

Sol:
NWC = CA - CL
so, CA = 32 - 8 = 24
Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liability 
= 32÷24 =1.33:1 Ans

_______________________
Acronyms used:

The following write up on Large Exposures Framework (LEF) is based on RBI Notification No. RBI/2016-17/167 DBR.No.BP.BC.43/21.01.003/2016-17 dated December 1, 2016. Candidates are

advised to refer to the Notification for additional details.

In order to align the exposure norms for Indian banks with the BCBS standards, RBI has laid down the

guidelines on Large Exposures Framework on December 1, 2016. The guidelines are aimed at

significant tightening of norms pertaining to concentration risks of banks, especially in relation to large

borrowers. The guidelines come into effect from April 1, 2019. A large exposure is defined as any exposure to a counter-party or group of counter-parties which is

equal to 10 per cent of the bank’s eligible capital base (defined as tier-I capital). LARGE EXPOSURE LIMITS

Single Counterparty: The sum of all the exposure values of a bank to a single counterparty must not

be higher than 20 percent of the bank’s available eligible capital base at all times. In exceptional cases, Board of banks may allow an additional 5 percent exposure of the bank’s available eligible capital base. Banks shall lay down a Board approved policy in this regard. Groups of Connected Counterparties: The sum of all the exposure values of a bank to a group of

connected counterparties, as defined below, must not be higher than 25 percent of the bank’s available

eligible capital base at all times. Any breach of the above LE limits shall be under exceptional conditions only and shall be reported to

RBI immediately and rectified at the earliest but not later than a period of 30 days from the date of the

breach. Definition of connected counterparties

Bank may have exposures to a group of counterparties with specific relationships or dependencies

such that, where one of the counterparties fail, all of the counterparties are likely to fail. A group of this

sort is referred to, in this framework, as a group of connected counterparties and must be treated as a

single counterparty. In this case, the sum of the bank’s exposures to all the individual entities included

within a group of connected counterparties is subject to the large exposure limit and to the regulatory

reporting requirements. Counterparties exempted from LEF

The exposures that will be exempted from the LEF are listed below:

a. Exposures to the Government of India and State Governments which are eligible for zero percent

Risk Weight under the Basel III – Capital Regulation framework of the Reserve Bank of India;

b. Exposures to Reserve Bank of India;

c. Exposures where the principal and interest are fully guaranteed by the Government of India; d. Exposures secured by financial instruments issued by the Government of India, e. Intra-day interbank exposures;

f. Intra-group exposures;

g. Borrowers, to whom limits are authorised by the Reserve Bank for food credit;

h. Banks’ clearing activities related exposures to Qualifying Central Counterparties (QCCPs)

i. Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) deposits placed with NABARD. However, a bank’s exposure to an exempted entity which is hedged by a credit derivative shall be

treated as an exposure to the counterparty providing the credit protection notwithstanding the fact that

the original exposure is exempted.

Registration of charge

Registration of charges:

(Section 77 to Section 87 and the Companies (Registration of Charges) Rules, 2014)

-“charge” means an interest or lien created on the assets of the company or any of its undertakings or both as security and includes a mortgage.

- This is newly incorporated definition. Earlier Act did not define what is charge but

listed different types of charges which required registration.

-The issue whether Bankers' lien under Section 171 of the Indian Contract Act or Negative lien created by the loan agreements is required to be registered is still a grey area and is being debated. In our view both need not be registered. However, if any power of attorney is given the same should be registered.

- Under Section 77 particulars of all charges created on its property or assets or any of

its undertakings, within or outside India, have to be registered with Registrar of Companies (ROC) within thirty days from the date of creation of charges. It is necessary that all charges created in favour of the Bank are registered with ROC within thirty days else there is a possibility that the Bank may lose priority of the Charge.

- The ROC on the application of the company, on being satisfied that the company had sufficient cause for not filing particulars of charge within 30 days may allow registration after 30 days but within a period of 300 days from the date of creation of charge.

- If the particulars of charge or for modification or satisfaction of charge are not filed within 300 days the company or any person interested in registration of charge can file an application to the Central Govt. for condonation of delay and extension of time for filing particulars of charges. Central Govt. can impose conditions for extension of time

Sincere thanks to all who gave input/material and the training colleagues/organizations who took pains to prepare/disseminate knowledge.Compiled

from various sources. Please share this with colleagues within BANK only. Pl think twice before printing this and anything. Errors if any noticed



- Pledge is not expressly excluded by Section 77 but excluded in the Form CHG.1.It is advisable to register charge of pledge also under the head “others” in the Form1. Even if omitted to be registered the Bank can take umbrage under exclusion provided in the Form1.

- I f the company fails to register the charge within a period of 30 days from the date of creation of charge, the person (the BANK) can apply for registration of charge along with copy of the instrument by which charge was created, and the ROC with in a period of 14 days from such application, after giving notice to the company allow registration of charge subject to payment of fees.

. By virtue of Section 79 of the Act, provisions of Section 77 relating to registration of charge also apply to

(a) A company acquiring property subject to a charge;

(b) Any modification or extent or operation of the registered charge. In other words modification of charges is also to be registered.

- Under Section 82 the company has to report satisfaction of charges.

IMPORTANT- It is important to note that it is imperative that charges created in favour of the Bank are registered within a period of 30 days from the date of creation of charge. Otherwise it is possible that Bank may lose priority of charge created in favour of the Bank.

4-Tips for setting powerful goals

4-TIPS FOR SETTING POWERFUL GOALS.

The most important benefit of Setting Goals isn’t achieving your Goal. it’s what you do & the person you become in order to achieve your Goal that’s the real benefit.
Goal Setting is powerful because it provides focus. It shapes our dreams. It gives us the ability to hone in on the exact actions we need to perform to achieve everything we desire in life. Goals are great because they cause us to stretch & grow in ways that we never have before. In order to reach Our Goals, we must become better.
Life is designed in such a way that we look long-term & live short-term. We dream for the future & live in the present. Unfortunately, the present can produce many difficult obstacles. But Setting Goals provides long-term vision in Our Lives. We'll need powerful Long-Range Goals to help us get past those Short-Term Obstacles. Fortunately the more powerful Our Goals are the more we’ll be able to act on & guarantee that they will actually come to pass.

What are the key aspects to learn and remember when studying and writing Our Goals? Here’s a closer look at Goal Setting & How you can make it Forceful & Practical:
1.EVALUATE & REFLECT: The only way we can reasonably decide what we want in the future & how we’ll get there is to know where we are right now & what our current level of satisfaction is. So 1st take some time to think through & write down your current situation; then ask this question on each key point: Is that OK?
The Purpose of Evaluation is 2 Fold:
1. It gives you an objective way to look at your accomplishments & your pursuit of the vision you have for life.
2. It shows you where you are so you can determine where you need to go. Evaluation gives you a baseline to work from.
Take a couple of hours this week to Evaluate & Reflect. See where you are & write it down so that as the months progress & you continue a regular time of Evaluation & Reflection, You'll see just how much ground you’re gaining & that will be exciting.

2. DEFINE YOUR DREAMS & GOALS: One of the amazing things We've been given as humans is the unquenchable desire to have dreams of a Better Life & the ability to Establish & Set Goals to live out those dreams. We can look deep within Our Hearts & Dream of a better situation for Ourselves & Our fMFamilies. We can dream of Better Financial, Emotional, Spiritual/Physical Lives. We've also been given the ability to not only dream, but pursue those dreams & not just pursue them, but the cognitive ability to lay out a plan and strategies to achieve those dreams. Powerful.
What are your Dreams & Goals? This isn’t what you already have/what you've done, but what you want. Have you ever really sat down and thought through your life values and decided what you really want? Have you ever taken the time to truly reflect, to listen quietly to your heart, to see what dreams live within you? Your dreams are there. Everyone has them. They may live right on the surface or they may be buried deep from years of others telling you they were foolish, but they are there.
Take time to be quiet. This is something that we don’t do enough of in this busy world of ours. We Rush & We’re constantly listening to noise all around us. The human heart was meant for times of quiet-to peer deep within. It is when we do this that our hearts are set free to Soar & Take Flight on the wings of our own dreams. Schedule some quiet 'Dream Time' this week. No Other People. No Cellphone. No Computer. Just you, a Pad, a Pen & Your Thoughts.
Don’t think of any as too Outlandish/Foolish-remember-you’re dreaming. Let the thoughts fly & take careful record.
Think about what really thrills you. When you are quiet, think about those things that really get your blood moving. What would you love to do, either for fun or for a living? What would you love to accomplish? What would you try if you were guaranteed to succeed? What big thoughts move your heart into a state of excitement and joy? When you answer these questions you will feel great & you will be in the 'Dream Zone'. It is only when we get to this point that we experience what our dreams are.
Write down all of your dreams as you have them. Don’t think of any as too Outlandish/Foolish-remember-you’re dreaming. Let the thoughts fly & take careful record.
Now, prioritize those dreams. Which are most important? Which are most feasible? Which would you love to do the most? Put them in the order in which you will actually try to attain them. Remember, We're always moving toward action-not just dreaming.

3.MAKE YOUR GOALS SMART: The acronym S.M.A.R.T. means Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic & Time-Sensitive.
- SPECIFIC: Goals are no place to waffle. They are no place to be vague. Ambiguous Goals produce ambiguous results. Incomplete Goals produce incomplete futures.
- MEASURABLE: Always set Goals that are measurable. I would say 'Specifically Measurable' to take into account Our Principle of being specific.
- ATTAINABLE: One of the detrimental things that Many People do-with good intentions-is setting Goals that are so high that they are unattainable.
- REALISTIC: The root word of realistic is 'Real'. A Goal has to be something that we can reasonably make 'Real/Reality' in Our Lives. There are Some Goals that are simply not realistic. You have to be able to say, even if it is a tremendously stretching Goal, that yes indeed. it is entirely realistic-that you could make it. You may even have to say that it will take X, Y, Z to do it, but if those happen, then it can be done. This is in no way to say it shouldn’t be a Big Goal, but it must be Realistic.
- TIME: Every Goal should have a timeframe attached to it. One of the powerful aspects of a Great Goal is that it has an end-a time in which you are shooting to accomplish it. As time goes by, you work on it because you don’t want to get Behind & You work diligently because you want to meet the deadline. You may even have to break down a Big Goal into different parts of Measurement & Timeframes-that is Ok. set Smaller Goals & Work them out in their own time. A S.M.A.R.T. Goal has a timeline.

4.HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY: When someone knows what your Goals are, they hold you accountable by asking you to 'Give An Account' of where you're in the process of achieving that Goal. Accountability puts some teeth into the process. If a Goal is set & only one person knows it, does it really have any power? Many times, No. A Goal isn’t as powerful if you don’t have One or More People who can hold you accountable to it..

Contingent liabilities

Contingent Liabilities:::

Another feature of Balance Sheet to be closely analysed by the credit analyst is the
contingent liabilities. It often happens that at the time the Balance Sheet is drawn up, the
accountant is not fully aware of some obligations of the enterprise : they may or may not
accrue as a liability, because of dispute regarding their tenability as a claim against the
enterprise or if they do arise, he is not certain about their quantum. For instance, quality
disputes, tax appeals, etc. are obligations of this nature. These obligations are termed
contingent liabilities and must be detailed as a footnote. A few examples of these

contingent liabilities are :
i) Pending law-suits.
ii) Claims against the company not acknowledged as debts.
iii) Guarantees issued by the company
iv) Unexpired portion of Letters of Credit established by the Bank on behalf of the
unit.
v) Taxes and duties under dispute with authorities.
vi) Bills/Cheques discounted with bankers.
The relevance of these to the credit analyst lies in the likelihood of their occurrence. He
will have to examine each of these and judge for himself to what extent chances exist for
their materialising into real liabilities. If, in his judgment they are more likely to materialize,
he must make a suitable provision in his own analysis, by setting it off against the net
worth, even though the enterprise itself had not done so.

Off balance sheet items

Off-balance sheet items

Off-balance sheet items have been bifurcated as follows:

(iii) Non-market related off-balance sheet items

(iv) Market related off-balance sheet items

There is two-step process for the purpose of calculating risk weighted assets in respect of

off-balance sheet items:

BI. The notional amount of the transaction is converted into a credit equivalent factor by

multiplying the amount by the specified Credit Conversion Factor (CCF)

The resulting credit equivalent amount is then multiplied by the risk weight

applicable to the counter party or to the purpose for which the bank has extended

finance or the type of asset whichever is higher. Where the off-balance sheet item is secured by eligible collateral or guarantee, the credit

risk mitigation guidelines will be applied. Non-market related off-balance sheet items:

Off balance sheet items like direct credit substitutes, trade and performance related

contingent items and commitments with certain draw downs are classified under Non- market related off-balance sheet items. The credit equivalent amount is determined by

multiplying the contracted amount of that particular transaction by the relevant CCF. Non-market related off-balance sheet items also include undrawn or partially

undrawn fund based and non-fund based facilities, which are not unconditionally

cancellable. The amount of undrawn commitment is to be included in calculating the off balance sheet items. Non-market related exposure is the maximum unused portion of the

commitment that could be drawn during the remaining period of maturity. In case of term

loan with respect to large project to be drawn in stages, undrawn portion shall be calculated

with respect of the running stage only. RBI guidelines on CCF (Credit Conversion Factor)

b. 4000cr
c. 5000cr
d. 6000cr
Solution :
1. d
RW against Govt Securities = 0 %
So, RWA
= 10000 x 0%
= 0 Cr
2. a
If th e provision is less than 20 %, then RW is 150%
If the provision is 20-49 %, then RW is 100%
If the provision is 50% or more, then RW is 50 %
Provision in Sub-Standard Un-Secured - 25 %, and so, RW = 100 %
So, RWA
= 500 x 1 00 %
= 500 Cr
3. a
If th e provision is less than 20 %, then RW is 150%
If the provision is 20-49 %, then RW is 100%
If the provision is 50% or more, then RW is 50 %
Provision in doubtful (D-1, unsecured) - 100 %, and so, RW = 50 %
So, RWA
= 600 x 5 0 %
= 300 Cr
4. b
If th e provision is less than 20 %, then RW is 150%
If the provision is 20-49 %, then RW is 100%
If the provision is 50% or more, then RW is 50 %
Provision in doubtful (D-2, unsecured) - 100 %, and so, RW = 50 %
So, RWA
= 1000 x 50 %
= 500 Cr
5. a
If th e provision is less than 20 %, then RW is 150%
If the provision is 20-49 %, then RW is 100%
If the provision is 50% or more, then RW is 50 %
Provision in doubtful (D-3, unsecured) - 100 %, and so, RW = 50 %
So, RWA
= 600 x 5 0 %
= 300 Cr
6. a
RW on retail loans = 75 %
So, RWA
= 4000 x 75%
= 3000 Cr
7. a
RW on housing loans = 50 %
So, RWA
= 6000 x 50%
= 3000 Cr

Balance sheet

Balance Sheet
Liabilities defined very broadly represent what the business entity owes others. The Companies Act
classifies them as follows:
1. Share capital
2. Reserve and surplus
3. Secured loans
4. Unsecured loans
5. Current liabilities and provisions.
Share Capital: This is divided into two types: equity capital and preference capital. The first represents the contribution
of equity shareholders who are theoretically the owners to the firm. Equity capital, being risk capital, carries no fixed
rate of dividend. Preference capital represents the contribution of preference shareholders and the dividend rate
payable onmay be fixed and cumulative. Reserves and surplus : Reserves and surplus are profits which have been
retained in the firm. There are two types of reserves: revenue reserves and capital reserves. Revenue reserves
represent accumulated retained earnings from the profits of normal business operations. These are held in various
forms: general reserve, investment allowance reserve, capital redemption reserve, dividend equalisation reserve,
etc. Capital reserves arise out of gains which are; not related to normal business operations. Examples of such
gains are the premium on issue of shares or gain on revaluation of assets. Surplus is the balance in the profit and
loss account which has not been appropriated to any particular reserve account. Note that reserves and surplus
along with equity with equity capital represent owners' equity.
Secured Loans: These denote borrowings of the firm against which specific securities have been provided.
The important components of secured loans are: debentures, loans from financial institutions, and loans
from commercial banks.
Unsecured Loans: These are the borrowings of the firm against which no specific security has been provided. The
major components of unsecured loans are: fixed deposits, loans and advances from promoters, inter-corporate
borrowings, and unsecured loans from banks.
Current Liabilities and Provisions: Current liabilities and provisions, as per the classification under the
Companies Act, consist of the following: amounts due to the suppliers of goods and services bought on credit;
advance payments received; accrued expenses; unclaimed dividend; provisions for taxes, dividends, gratuity,
pensions, etc. Current liabilities for managerial purposes (as distinct from their definition in the Companies Act) are
obligations which are expected tomature in the next twelve months. So defined, they include the following:
(i) loans which are payable within one year fromthe date of balance sheet,
(ii) accounts payable (creditors) on account of goods and services purchased on credit for which
payment has to be made within one year,
(iii) Provision for taxation for taxation,
(iv) accruals for wages, salaries, rentals, interest, and other expenses (these are expenses for services that

have been received by the company but for which the payment has not fallen due), and
(v) advance payment received for goods or services to be supplied in the future.
Assets
Broadly speaking, assets represent resources which are of some value to the firm. They have been acquired at a
specific monetary cost by the firm for the conduct of its operations. Assets are classified as follows under the
Companies Act:
1. Fixedassets
2. Investments
3. Current assets, loans and advances
4. Miscellaneous expenditures and losses
Fixed Assets: These assets have two characteristics: they are acquired for use over relatively long periods for
carrying on the operations of the firmand they are ordinarily notmeant for resale. Examples of fixed assets are land,
buildings, plant,machinery, patents, and copyrights.
Investments: These are financial securities owned by the firm. Some investments represent long-term commitment
of funds. (Usually these are the equity shares of other firms held for income and control purposes). Other; investments
are short-term in nature and may rightly be classified under current assets for managerial purposes. (Under
requirements of the Companies Act, however, short-term holding of financial securities also has to be shown under
investments, and not under current assets).
Current assets, loans, and advances: This category consists of cash and other resources which get converted into
cash during the operating cycle of the firm. Current assets are held for a short period of time as against fixed assets
which are held for relatively longer periods. The major components of current assets are: cash, debtors, inventories,
loans and advances, and pre-paid expenses. Cash denotes funds readily disbursable by the firm. The bulk of it is
usually in the form of bank balance; the rest comprises of currency held by the firm. Debtors (also called accounts
receivable) represent the amounts owned to the firm by its customers who have bought goods, services on credit.
Debtors are shown in the balance sheet at the amount owed, less an allowance for the bad debts. Inventories (also
called stocks) consist of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, and stores and spares. They are usually
reported at the lower of the cost or market value.
Loans and advances: are the amounts loaned to employees, advances given to suppliers and contractors, and
deposits made with governmental and other agencies. They are shown at the actual amount. Pre-paid expenses
are expenditure incurred for services to be rendered in the future. These are shown at the cost of unexpired
service.
Miscellaneous expenditures and losses: This category consists of two items: (i) miscellaneous expenditures
and (ii) losses. Miscellaneous expenditure's represent certain outlays such as preliminary expenses and preoperative
expenses which have not been written off. From the accounting point of view, a loss represents a
decrease in owners equity. Hence, when a loss occurs, the owners' equity should be reduced by that amount.
However as per company law requirements, the share capital (representing owners' equity) cannot be reduced
when a loss occurs. So the share capital is kept intact on the left hand side (the liabilities side) of the balance sheet
and the loss is shown on the right hand side (the assets side) of the balance sheet Profit And Loss Account
It is a statement of income and expenditure for a accounting period. The items of P& L account are:
 Gross and Net sales
 Cost of goods sold
 Gross profit
 Operating expenses
 Operating profit
 Non-operating surplus/deficit
 Profit before interest and tax
 Interest
 Profit before tax
 Tax
 Profit after tax (Net Profit)
Gross and Net Sales:Total price of goods sold is called Gross sales. Net sales are Salesminus excise duty. Cost of
goods sold is the sumof costs incurred formanufacturing the goods sold during the accounting period. It consists of
directmaterial cost, direct labour cost, direct labour cost, and factory overheads. It should be distinguished form the
cost of production. The latter represents the cost of goods produced in the accounting year, not the cost of goods
sold during the same period.
Gross profit is the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold. Most companies show this amount
as a separate item (as in the table here). Some
Operating expenses consist of general administrative expenses, selling and distribution expenses, and
depreciation. (Many accountants include depreciation under cost of goods sold as a manufacturing
overhead rather than under operating expenses. This treatment is also quite reasonable).
Operating profit is the difference between gross profit and operating expenses. As a measure of profit it reflects
operating performance and is not affected by non-operating gains/losses, financial leverage, and tax factor. Nonoperating
surplus represents gains arising from sources other than normal operations of the business. Its major
components are income from investments and gains from disposal of assets. Likewise, non-operating deficit
represents losses from activities unrelated to the normal operations of the firm.
Profit before interest and taxes is the sum of operating profit and non-operating surpiusideficit. Referred to also as
earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), this represents a measure of profit which is not influenced by financial
leverage and the tax factor.
Interest is the expenses incurred for borrowed funds, such as term loans, debentures, public deposits, and
working capital advances.
Profit before tax is obtained by deducting interest fromprofits before interest and taxes.
Tax represents the income tax payable on the taxable profit of the year.
Profit after tax is the difference between the profit before tax and tax for the year.
Dividends represent the amount earmarked for distribution to shareholders.
Retained earnings are the difference between profit after tax and dividends.

Basel capital adequacy pillers

The Basel capital adequacy framework rests on the following three mutually- reinforcing pillars:

Pillar 1: Minimum Capital Requirements - which prescribes a risk-sensitive calculation of capital requirements that, for the first time, explicitly includes operational risk in addition to market and credit risk.

Pillar 2: Supervisory Review Process (SRP) - which envisages the establishment of suitable risk management systems in banks and their review by the supervisory authority.

Pillar 3: Market Discipline - which seeks to achieve increased transparency through expanded disclosure requirements for banks.

The Basel Committee also lays down the following four key principles in regard to the SRP envisaged under Pillar 2:

Principle 1: Banks should have a process for assessing their overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital levels.

Principle 2: Supervisors should review and evaluate banks’ internal capital adequacy assessments and strategies, as well as their ability to monitor and ensure their compliance with the regulatory capital ratios. Supervisors should

take appropriate supervisory action if they are not satisfied with the result of this process.

Principle 3: Supervisors should expect banks to operate above the minimum regulatory capital ratios and should have the ability to require banks to hold capital in excess of the minimum.

Principle 4: Supervisors should seek to intervene at an early stage to prevent capital from falling below the minimum levels required to support the risk characteristics of a particular bank and should require rapid remedial action if capital is not maintained or restored.

 It would be seen that the principles 1 and 3 relate to the supervisory expectations from banks while the principles 2 and 4 deal with the role of the supervisors under Pillar 2. Pillar 2 (Supervisory Review Process - SRP) requires banks to implement an internal process, called the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), for assessing their capital adequacy in relation to their risk profiles as well as a strategy for maintaining their capital levels. Pillar 2 also requires the supervisory authorities to subject all banks to an evaluation process, hereafter called Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), and to initiate such supervisory measures on that basis, as might be considered necessary. An analysis of the foregoing principles indicates that the following broad responsibilities have been cast on banks and the supervisors:

Banks’ responsibilities:

(a)Banks should have in place a process for assessing their overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital levels (Principle 1)

(b)Banks should operate above the minimum regulatory capital ratios (Principle 3)

Supervisors’ responsibilities

(a) Supervisors should review and evaluate a bank’s ICAAP. (Principle 2)

(b) Supervisors should take appropriate action if they are not satisfied with the results of this process. (Principle 2)

(c) Supervisors should review and evaluate a bank’s compliance with the regulatory capital ratios. (Principle 2)

(d) Supervisors should have the ability to require banks to hold capital in excess of the minimum. (Principle 3)

(e) Supervisors should seek to intervene at an early stage to prevent capital from falling below the minimum levels. (Principle 4)

(f) Supervisors should require rapid remedial action if capital is not maintained or restored. (Principle 4)

Thus, the ICAAP and SREP are the two important components of Pillar 2

and could be broadly defined as follows:

The ICAAP comprises a bank’s procedures and measures designed to ensure the following:

(a) An appropriate identification and measurement of risks;

(b) An appropriate level of internal capital in relation to the bank’s risk profile; and

(c) Application and further development of suitable risk management systems in the bank.

The SREP consists of a review and evaluation process adopted by the supervisor, which covers all the processes and measures defined in the principles listed above. Essentially, these include the review and evaluation of the bank’s ICAAP, conducting an independent assessment of the bank’s risk profile, and if necessary, taking appropriate prudential measures and other supervisory actions.

These guidelines seek to provide broad guidance to banks by outlining the manner in which the SREP would be carried out by the RBI, the expected scope and design of their ICAAP, and the expectations of the RBI from banks in regard to implementation of the ICAAP.
