RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of losses associated with diminution in the credit
of quality of borrowers or counter parties. In a banks portfolio, losses stem from outright
default due to inability or unwillingness of a customer or counter party to meet
commitments in relation to lending, trading, settlement and other financial transactions.

Genesis
Founded as 'Canara Bank Hindu Permanent Fund' in 1906, by late, Mr.

Ammembal Subba Rao Pai, a philanthropist, this small seed blossomed into a limited
company as 'Canara Bank Ltd.' in 1910 and became Canara Bank in 1969 after
nationalization.
''A good bank is not only the financial heart of the community, but also one with
an. obligation of helping in every possible manner to improve the economic conditions of
the common people"

3. To inculcate the habit of thrift and savings.
4. To transform the financial institution not only as the financial heart of the

5. To assist the needy.

6. To work with sense of service and dedication.
7. To develop a concern for fellow human being and sensitivity to the surroundings
with a view to make changes/remove hardships and sufferings.
Sound founding principles, enlightened leadership, unique work culture and

remarkable adaptability to changing banking environment have enabled Canara Bank
to be a frontline banking institution of global standards.
As Canara bank founded in 1906, Canara Bank is one of the premier banks in India,
with a network of 2578 branches across the country. The bank was the first to launch
networked ATMs in India and obtain an ISO Certification. Canara Bank has also
achieved the distinction of being the country's highest net profit earner among
nationalized banks for the year March 2007.
The bank has already carved a niche in providing IT -based services such as
Networked ATMs, Anywhere Banking, Tele-banking, Remote Access Tensional, Internet
& Mobile Banking, Debit Cards, etc. Canara Bank has a vision to help improve the
economic condition of the common people of India by inculcating the habit of savings in
rural areas.

Challenges
Canara 'Bank achieved 100% computerization very early in the course of its
operational history. It deployed a number of bank automation tools such as a customized
Total Branch Automation (TBA) package called Integrated Branch Banking Software
(18BS), which was developed by its subsidiary, Can Bank Computer Services Ltd.
(CCSL). IBBS was deployed on Novell NetWare at close to 1400 medium sized branches
across the country.
Canara Bank follows a detailed tendering process for new hardware purchases, in
which contracts are awarded on the basis of bids. After nearly a decade of deploying
IBBS, the bank had purchased different types of hardware from multiple vendors. As a
result, standardization on Novell NetWare became difficult, and supporting the legacy
IBBS application became a challenging task.
Moreover, IBBS was developed using Micro focus COBOL and designed to run
in a 16 bit DOS environment. With poor support for the TCP/IP protocol stack, the
NetWare servers running IBBS could not be integrated into the corporate network easily.
Essentially, the NetWare servers functioned as branch file servers, without any
data connectivity. Regular maintenance of different versions of IBBS across 1400
branches was a painstaking effort in the absence of network support. Patching,
troubleshooting and version upgrades had to be conducted onsite. Branches in rural and
remote areas were particularly difficult to access and required support personnel to travel
frequently. Also, the availability of certified hardware on NetWare was limited, which
made adding new machines difficult.
As Canara Bank's customer base expanded, its banking services began to scale,
creating an immediate need for Internet Banking, Anywhere Banking (banking from any
Can Bank branch across the country) and an expanded ATM network. Novell NetWare's
closed legacy environment did not allow room to accommodate these new technologies.
Canara Bank had to purchase additional machines running Microsoft Windows to

interface with these new technologies, which was extremely inefficient from a hardware
utilization standpoint. New hardware and Microsoft Windows licenses strained budgets
and made new technology projects difficult to scale and sustain.
When additional branches were added to the bank's network, procuring new
servers that were certified to run on NetWare was difficult, as IHVs had ceased to
provide support for older versions of the as. Micro Focus had also ceased support for the
COBOL version on which the IBBS package had been developed. A combination of all
these factors made migration attractive.
Migrating the 1400 odd legacy NetWare servers posed another challenge: Canara
Bank wanted to switch platforms but not hardware. Deploying the latest as available,
without going into a hardware refresh cycle that would cost millions of rupees was a
challenging task. The bank had amassed about a dozen different types of machines after a
decade of deploying IBBS. This heterogeneous mix of hardware that spanned across
more than1,000 server 10,000destopsmadethe project very complex. Canara Bank began
to look for a platform that could deliver the latest innovation along with complete hardware
freedom.
Future plan
Moving from the legacy NetWare platform to Red Hat Enterprise Linux has
opened up significant opportunities for Canara Bank. With networking support now
available, Canara Bank is planning to deploy Red Hat Network Satellite to send updates
for both IBBS as well as the operating system to all distributed machines across the
country. Enterprise Linux has also made Remote Management and health monitoring of
remote servers possible.
With the tremendous benefit’s provided by Enterprise Linux, Canara Bank plans
to move its Anywhere Banking and Internet Banking Ii steners to the Enterprise Linux
platform. Enterprise Linux has provided Canara Bank with the freedom and choice to
develop a scalable growth plan, which was not possible under NetWare's closed legacy
environment.
The power of Linux is not restricted by hardware limitations, as it can run on
different kinds of architectures. Canara Bank has managed to save crores of rupees in
new hardware acquisition costs, by using a lightweight customized Linux distribution on
its existing hardware
The Bank Today
Canara Bank is one of the premier banks in the country, accredited with umpteen
distinctions. The present stature of the Bank is due to its strong fundamentals and quality
customer orientations. Profit making since inception, the Bank today ep itomizes a
perfect blend of commercial and social banking.
For the year March 2007, the Bank clocked the highest net profit ( RS.1110 crore)
among nationalized banks, with significant improvement in capital adequacy ratio
(13.50%) and asset quality (net NPA ratio of 0.94%).
The Bank has already carved a niche in providing IT -based services. With 100%
computerization of the branches, the bank provides a wide array of services, such as,
Networked ATMs, Anywhere Banking, Telebanking, Remote Access Terminal also
Internet & Mobile Banking, Debit Card etc. The Bank was the first among banks to
launch networked ATMs and obtain ISO Certification.
Commercial consideration has, no way, diluted the Bank's role in national

priorities. Canara Bank is in fact the first bank to be conferred FICCl award for
contribution to rural development.

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
Overview:
The enhanced role of the banking sector in the Indian economy, the increasing
levels of deregulation along with the increasing level of the competition have
facilitated globalization of the Indian banking system and placed numerous
demands on banks. Operating in this demanding environment has exposed banks
to various challenges. The last decade has witnessed major changes in the
financial sector-new banks, new financial institutions, new instruments, new
windows and new opportunities- and, along with all this, new challenges. While
deregulation has opened up new vistas for banks to augment revenues, it has
entailed greater competition and consequently greater risks. Demands for new
products, particularly derivatives, has required banks to diversify their product

mix and also effect rapid changes in their processes and operations in order to
remain competitive in the globalize environment.
The benefits of globalization have been well documented and are being
increasingly recognized. Globalization of domestic banks has also been facilitated
by tremendous advancement in information and communication technology.
Globalization has thrown up lot of opportunities but accompanied by concomitant
risk. There is a growing realization that the ability of countries to conduct
business across national borders and the ability to cope with the possible
downside risks would depend, inter – alia, on the soundness of the financial
system and the strength of the individual participants. Adoptaion of appropriate
prudential, regulatory, supervisory, and technological framework on par with
international best practices enables strengthening of the domestic banking system,
which would help in fortifying it against the risks that might arise out of
globalization in India
we had strengthened the banking sector to face the pressures that may arise out of
globalization by adopting the banking sector reforms in a calibrated Mann
followed the twin governing principles of non-disruptive progress and
consultative process.
Legal prescriptions for ownership and governance of banks in banking regulation
Act, 1949 have been supplemented regulatory prescriptions issued by RBI from
time to time.

Banks are increasingly using outsourcing for achieving strategic aims lading to either
ratio nationalization of operational costs are taping specialist expertise which is not
available internally. ‘Outsourcing’ may be defined as a banks use of a third party,
including an affiliated entity within a corporate group, to perform activities on a
continuing base that would normally be undertaken by the bank itself. Typically
outsourced financial services include applications processing (loan organization, credit
card), document processing, investment management, marketing and research,
supervision of loans data processing and bank office related activities etc.
Application of advanced technology:
Technology is a key driver in the banking industry, which creates new business modules
and process, and also revolutionizes distribution channels. Banks which have made in
adequate investment in technology have consequently faced and erosion of there market
shares. The beneficiaries are those banks which have invested in technology. Adoption of
technology also enhanced the quality of risk management systems in banks. Recognizing
the benefits of modernizing their technology infrastructure banks is taking the right
initiatives. While doing so, banks have four options to choose from: they can build a new
system those selves, or buy best of he modules, or buy a comprehensive solution, or
outsource. In this context banks need to clearly define their core competencies to be sure
that they are investing in the areas that will distinguish them from other market players,
and give them a competitive advantage.
The global challenges which banks face or not confined only to the global banks, these
aspects are also highly relevant for banks which are part of a globalized banking system.
Further, over coming these challenges by the other banks is excepted to not only stand
them in good stead during difficult times but also augurs well for the banking system to
which they belong and will also equip them to launch themselves as a global bank.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKS
The financial sector especially the banking industry III most emerging economies
including India is passing through a process of change. As the financial activity has
become a major economic activity in most economies, any disruption or imbalance in its
infrastructure will have significant impact on the entire economy. By developing a sound
financial system, the banking industry can bring stability within the financial markets.
Deregulation in the financial sector had widened the products range in the
developed markets. Some of the new products introduced are LBOs, structured
transaction, credit cards, housing finance, derivatives and various off balance sheet items.
Thus new vistas have created multiple sources for banks to generate higher profits than
the traditional financial intermediation. Simultaneously they have opened new areas of
risk also. Many unknown issues that are intricately related to new products have exposed
banks to various risks across the globe and India is no exception.
During the past decade, the Indian banking industry continued to respond to the
emerging challenges of competition, risks and uncertainties. Risks originate in the forms
of customer default, funding a gap or adverse movements of markets.
Measuring and quantifying risks is neither easy nor intuitive. Our regulators have
made some sincere attempts to bring prudential and supervisory norms conforming with
international bank practices with an intention to strengthen the stability of the banking
system.
Banks in general face the following risk:

• Liquidity Foreign Exchange
• Credit Market
• Interstate Operational
The industry has undergone drastic changes in the last three decades. Horizontal
expansion of the financial markets, deregulation across the globe in financial markets and
stiff competition have led the banks to multiply their activities. Increased activities in the
industry have exposed the banks to more uncertainties and more risks.
RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKS IS BROADLY DIVIDED INTO SIX

SECTIONS:
Funds Management is a major activity of the banks. Liquidity management is an

integral part of funds management. Banks mobilize the deposits and deploy funds in
advances and investments. Banks also float funds through various subsidiary services
extended to their clients.
There will be always a time gap between the availability of resources and their
deployment. Hence banks will often swing between excess liquidity and liquidity crunch
in their funds position. Liquidity management essentially deals with efficient handling of
inflows and outflows of funds. Section -I discusses the liquidity management in banks in
India and across the globe.
Cash Management is a subset of the entire funds management. The lead time is
reduced in collection of cheques and other instruments by the banks, if they introduce
efficient cashmanagement services. From the bank's point of view it increases the fee
based income. Cash management services are one innovative product introduced by the
banks in the recent times. Section-II discusses the cash management techniques adopted
by banks and corporate clients.
Credit risk is as old as money. When the default rate increases in the portfolio of

the bank< it may lead to its total collapse. To circumvent the c re d itrisk, the system tries to
design innovative products. Section-III discusses the credit risk management in banks.
The Basle committee defines the operational risk as "the risk of direct or indirect
loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from
external events". This definition excludes operational: risk but includes legal risk. Such
operational risks can be broadly classified into four categories as information technology
risk, human resource risk, loss to assets risk and 'relationship risk. Quantification of
operational risk is a major challenge to the .risk management group of the bank: Section -
IV attempts to elucidate few issues involved in the operational risk management.
One of the core activities of the regulators is proper of the system. The Basle
committee had set certain guidelines for the bank s. The Reserve Bank of India had set up
an advisory committee under the chain Ulship of M S Verma and the committee had
submitted its report in May 2001. The committee recommended corporate governance,
internal controls, risk management, loan accounting transparency and disclosures,
financial conglomerates and cross border banking supervision. The supervisor should
provide a safety net to the financial system. Section -V discusses the important issues of
any risk management technique.
Section-VI consists of two case studies. It briefly discusses the risk management
Technique's to be adopted by banks. Derivatives are the hedging instruments which help
minimize the risks. But a 300 year old investment bank collapsed because of its exposure
to derivatives. The Barings' collapse is a classic example of failure of supervision and
incidence of human sours risk.
In the global scenario, the increased credit risk arises due to two reasons. Banks
have been forced to lend to riskier clients because well-rated corporates have moved
away from banks as they have access to low cost funds through disinter mediation. The
other reason is the lurking fear of global recession. Recession in the economy could lead
to low industrial output which may lead to defaults by the industry under recession
culminating into credit risk. Hence, the markets are in search of new credit risk

management models. Credit derivatives which were a new innovation in the market stood
the real test in 1997 during the Asian financial crisis. Several European and US banks
which were exposed to high risk areas in Korea, Philippines and Thailand were able to
save themselves from losses as they could hedge themselves with credit derivatives. The
papers "Credit Risk Management - Models and Judgments" and "Use of Credit Derivati
ves" discuss the critical operational issues in managing credit risk through credit
derivatives.
In the recent times, we have witnessed runs on the banks - mainly the Urban
Cooperative Banks like Madhavpura Coop Bank in Gujarat/Mumbai, Charminar Bank, a
scheduled bank in Hyderabad and many others.
When the banks give the signals of distress, the depositors panic and run for their
money. As per the existing rules, Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation of
India (DICGC) guarantees the depositors' money up to one lakh rupees subject to certain
conditions. Till now, the banks used to pay the insurance premium for the deposits they
hold to get insurance coverage from DICGC. Now the committee set up by the RBI under
the Chairmanship of J Captor suggested that the risk premium is to be paid which Is
sensitive to the probability of the bank in question going bankrupt. The paper "What
Makes Banks Fragile tries to compute the volatility of banks' assets and deposit insurance
premium with an illustrate on and presents a view point of fixing higher deposit insurance
premium if reserve requirements are to be phased out.

Credit Risk Management at Canara Bank
Introduction
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of losses associated with diminution in the
credit quality of borrowers or counter parties. In a bank's portfolio, losses stem from
outright default due to inability or unwillingness of a customer or counter party to meet
commitments in relation to lending, trading, settlement and other financial transactions.
Alternatively, losses result from reduction in portfolio value arising from actual or
perceived deterioration in credit quality. Credit risk emanates from a bank's dealings with
an individual, corporate, bank, financial institution or a so vereign.
Credit risk takes in the following forms:
1. In the case of direct lending: principal/and or interest amount not be repaid;

2. In the case of guarantees or letters of credit: funds not forthcoming from the
constituents upon crystallization 0 f the liability.
3. In the case of treasury operations: the payment or series of payments due from the
counter parties under the respective contracts may not be forthcoming or ceases;
4. In the case of securities trading businesses: funds/ securities settlement may not be
effected.

Credit Risk Management
In this backdrop, it is imperative that Canara bank has credit risk management system,
which is sensitive and responsive to these factors. The effective management of credit
risk is a critical component of comprehensive risk management and ie essential for the
long-term success of Canara banking organisation. Credit risk managemnt encompasses
identification, measurement, monitoring and control of the credit risk sources. The Bank
has put in place a unified risk management architecture to attain global best practices for
effective implementation of risk management initiatives in consistence with the Basle II
framework and RBI guidelines. The Board of Directors drives the Risk Management
initiatives in the Bank. The Risk Management Committee of the Board is operational.
Top Executive Committees for Credit Risk, Operational Risk and Market Risk
Management oversee and monitor the respective risk management processes and
procedures. Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) meets periodically for effective and pro-
active ALM in the Bank.
An exclusive Risk Management Wing at the Head Office is functioning as a nodal centre
for overall implementation of various risk management initiatives across the Bank.
Integrated Mid Office of both domestic and Forex Treasury are functioning under the
Risk Management Wing for effective and independent supervision and monitoring of
Market Risk in investment and forex functions. Risk Management Sections are
functioning at all the 34 Circle Offices of the Bank as an extended arm of the Risk
Management Wing at the Corporate Office.
The Bank has put in place various risk management policies, which include policy for
management of Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk, Asset Liability, Liquidity
Risk, Country Risk, Counterparty Bank Risk, Corporate Governance, Disclosures,
Collateral Management, Stress Testing, Compliance Functions, Disaster Recovery and
Business Continuity Planning, Business Lines, Outsourcing, Group Risk, Legal Risk etc.
The Bank has also framed risk management policies for its overseas branches. These
policies are being reviewed and fine tuned annually.

Building Blocks of Credit Risk Management at Canara Bank'
In a bank, an effective credit risk management framework would ,'omprise of the

following distinct building blocks:
• Policy and Strategy

• Organizational Structure
• Operations/ Systems
Policy and Strategy
The Board of Directors shall be responsible for approving and periodic a II y

reviewing the credit risk strategy and significant credit risk policies.
Credit Risk Policy
1. Bank has credit risk policy document approved by the Board. The document include
risk identification, risk measurement, risk grading/ aggregation techniques, reporting
and risk controlV mitigation techniques, documentation, legal issues and management
of problem loans.
2. Credit risk policies defined target markets, risk acceptance criteria, credit approval
authority, credit origination! maintenance procedures and guidelines for portfolio
management.
3. The credit risk policies approved by the Board communicated to branches/controlling

offices. All dealing officials should clearly understand the barne's approach for credit
sanction and are held accountable for complying with established policies and
procedures.
4. Senior management of a Canara bank shall be responsible for implementing the credit
risk policy approved by the Board.

Credit Risk Strategy
1. Each branch of Canara bank should develop, with the approval of its Board, its own
credit risk strategy or plan that establishes the objectives guiding the Canara bank's
credit-granting activities and adopt necessary policies/ procedures for conducting
such activities. This strategy should spell out clearly the organisation's credit appetite
and the acceptable level of risk -reward trade-off for its activities.
2. The strategy would, therefore, include a statement of the Canara bank's willingness to
grant loans bas ed on the type of economic activity, geographical location, currency,
market, maturity and anticipated profitability. This would necessarily translate into
the identification of target markets and business sectors, preferred levels of
diversification and concentration, the cost of capital in granting credit and the cost of
bad debts.
Credit risk Management Committee (CRMC]
Each Canara bank may, depending on the size of the organization or loan!
Investment book, constitute a high level Credit Risk Management Committee
(CRMC). The Committee should be headed by the Chairman and should comprise of
heads of Credit Department, Treasury, Credit Risk Management Department
(CRMD) and the Chief Economist.
The functions of the Credit Risk Management Committee should be as under:
1. Responsible for the implementation of the credit risk policy/ strategy approved by the
Board.
2. Monitor credit risk on a Canara bank wide basis and ensure compliance with limits approved
by the Board.
3. Recommend to the Board, for its approval, clear policies on standards for presentation of
credit proposals, financial covenants, rating standards and benchmarks,
4. Decide delegation of credit approving powers, prudential limits on large credit exposures,
standards for loan collateral, portfolio management, loan review mechanism, risk

concentrations, risk monitoring and evaluation, pricing of loans, provisioning,
regulatory/legal compliance, etc.
Concurrently, Canara bank set up Credit Risk Management Department (CRIVID),

independent of the Credit Administration Department.
The CRMD does the followings :
1. Measure, control and manage credit risk on a Canara bank -wide basis within the
limits set by the Board/ CRMC
2. Enforce compliance with the risk parameters and prudential limits set by t.he
Board! CRMC.
3. Lay down riskassesment system develop loan/ investment portfolio. identify
problems, correct deficiencies and undertake loan review/audit. Large Canara
banks could consider separate set up for loan review/audit.
4. Accountable for protecting the quality of the entire loan! investment portfolio.
The Department undertakes portfolio evaluations and makes comprehensive

studies on the environment to test the resilience of the loan portfolio
Operations 1st Systems
Canara banks have an appropriate credit administration, credit risk measurement

and monitoring processes.
The credit administration process typically involved the following
1. Relationship management phase i.e. business development.

2. Transaction management phase covers risk assessment, loan pricing, structuring the facilities,
internal approvals, documentation, loan administration, on going monitoring and risk
measurement.
3. Portfolio management phase entails monitoring of the portfolio at a macro level and the
management of problem loans.
4. On the basis of the broad management framework stated above, the Canara banks has

following credit risk measurement and monitoring procedures:
5. Canara banks established proactive credit risk management practices like annual / half yearly
industry studies and individual obligor reviews (recently established) periodic credit calls that
are documented, periodic visits of plant and business site, and at least quarterly management
reviews of troubled exposures/weak credits
Canara bank has system of checks and balances in place for extension of
credit viz.:
1. Separation of credit risk management from credit sanction
2. Multiple credit approvers making financial sanction subject to approvals at various

stages viz. credit ratings, risk approvals, credit approval grid, etc.
3. An independent audit and risk review function.
4. The level of authority required to approve credit will increase as amounts and
transaction risks increase and as risk ratings worsen.
5. Every obligor and facility must be assigned a risk rating.
6. Mechanism to price facilities depending on the risk grading of the customer, and to
attribute accurately the associated risk weightings to the facilities.
7. Banks ensure that there are consistent standards for the origination, documentation
and maintenance for extensions of credit
8. Banks has a consistent approach towards early problem recognition, the classification
of problem exposures, and remedial action.
9. Banks maintain a diversified portfolio of risk assets; have a system to conduct regular
analysis of the portfolio and to ensure ongoing control of risk concentrations.
10. Credit risk limits include, obligor limits and concentration limits by industry or
geography. The Boards should authorize efficient and effective credit approval
processes for operating within the approval emits.
11. Bank has systems and procedures for monitoring financial performance of customers
and for controlling outstanding within limits.
12. A conservative policy for provisioning in respect of non -performing advances adopted.

Credit Risk Rating [CRR]
Canara bank concern with following risk while rating them:
1. Financial risk
2. Industry risk
3. Business risk
4. Market risk
Treatment of Credit risk at bank.
The unsecured portion of NPA accounts net of specific provisions is also to be

subject to risk weighting mechanism; unsecured portion means the NP A amount
obtained after deducting the eligible and guarantee amounts.
The risk weights for NPA accounts are as follows:
Other than residential mortgage loans
When specific provisions are < 20% of NPA risk weights amount 150%
When specific provisions are at least 20% of NPA risk weight is 100%
When specific provisions are at least 50% of NPA risk weight amounts to 50%
Fully Covered by Plant and Machinery and Land and Building
When specific provision reaches at least 15% of NPA risk weight amount 100%
Residential Mortgage loans
Generally risk weight applicable is 100%
If specific provisions are at least 20% of NPA risk weights amount to 75%

Regional Office:
If loan amount is more than 75 lacks then that proposal goes to regional office, Regional
office has authority to sanction from 75 lacks to 3 crores for industries.
Circle Office:
Circle office has authority of sanctioning loan from 3 crores and above.
Factors considered for sanction loans:

1) Individual Capacity.
2) Securities
3) Additional securities
4) Prompt repayment of L02.
5) Deposits in Banks
Individual Capacity:
Bank considers individual capacity h) repayment of loan with term or agreed term
with bank and also considers his transaction with bank if any.
Securities:
Bank considers securities of borrowers while lending money to him. Ex: Shares
cel1ificate, Insurance policies
Additional Securities:
Banks consider or accept additional securities like land, home and other securities
while sanctioning new loan to customers when customers has existing loan in bank.
Prompt repayment of Loan:
Existing transaction or previous transact ion consider while grant new loan to
customers/ Clients. His prompt repayment of loan consider for new loans.
Bank Deposits
Bank deposits with bank or any other banks consider as security for loans.
Existing Credit Risk Management at Canara Bank

• Follow up clients/Customers.
• Recovery systems.
• Review of loan.
• Additional securities
• Providing additional loans to make repayment of existing loans.
• Loan Review Mechanism.
• Low and High credit risk ratings.
• Low interest rate for high credit rating companies
• High interest rate for low credit rating companies
• Single/group borrower limits
• Authorities to branches • Authorities to Committees.
Following Up customers/Clients:
Bank remind borrowers to repay loan and interest according to term and condition
which he has agreed while taking loan from banks, and also ensure that ifhe fails to pay
the loanwhat is next step of banks.
Recovery Systems:
Bank directly collect dues from customers They have separate department, which look
\after all matters related to recovery of loan.
Review of loan:
If the amount not recovered within specified term mentioned as per the policy of bank,
bank goes for review of loan if required.
Additional Securities:

Additional securities will be taken from the customer in two situations:
1) If existing loan extended by the bank.
2) When additional loan is given to the customer in addition to existing loan.
Low and High credit risk ratings.
Interest rate is depend on credit worthy nests of the company, if the credit worthy
Ness of the company is high he will be charged low interest, opposite is the case for low
credit worthiness
Following Securities as eligible for treatment as Credit risk mitigates:
1) Bank Deposits
2) Gold Jewellery ( Benchmarked to 99.99 purity)
3) State Govt securities
4) Central Govt securities
5) National Saving Certificates, Vikas Patras and Kisan Vikas Patras
6) Life Insurance Policies
7) Equities ( Including convertible bonds)
8) Mutual fund securities
9) Land and Building
10) Plant and Machinery

Guarantors Types
• State Government
• Central Government
• Public Sector Entities
• Banks
• Primary Dealers Corporate
Substitution approach
In this approach risk weight of the guarantor replace the lisk weight of the
borrower provided it result in application of a lower risk weight, thus only guarantee
issued by entities with a lower risk weight provides credit risk mitigation effect in the
form of lower capital charges.
Proportional Cover
This method is taken note of is that the risk mitigation effect will be available to
the extent of protection provided b Guarantor and the remaining unprotected portion
carry the risk weight applicable to borrower.
Thus in order to avail capital relief it is necessary that the following details on guarantors
are captured:
• Name of the Guarantor

• Extent of Guarantee cover available
• Customer type of the guarantor
Techniques for Measuring Credit Risk

In the measurement of credit risk, models may be classified along three different
dimensions:
1. The techniques employed,

2. The domain of applications in the credit process and
3. The products to which they are applied.
Techniques:
The following are the more commonly used techniques:
1. Econometric Techniques such as linear and multiple discriminate analysis,
Multiple regression, logic analysis and probability of default, etc
2. Neural networks are computer-based systems that use the same data employed in
the econometric techniques but arrive at the decision model using alternative
implementations of a trial and error method.
3 Itemization models are mathematical programming techniques that discover the

optimum weights for borrower and loan attributes that minimize lender error and
maximize profits.
3. Rule-based or expert are characterized by a set of decision rules, a knowledge base

consisting of data such as industry financial ratios, and a structured inquiry process to
be used by the analyst in obtaining the data on a particular borrower.
4. Hybrid Systems In these systems simulation are driven in part by a direct causal
relationship, the parameters of which are determined through estimation techniques.

Domain of application:
These models are used in a variety of domains:
Credit approval
Models are used on a stand alone basis or in conjunction with a judgemental

override system for approving credit in the consumer lending business. The use of such
models has expanded to include small business lending. They are generally not used in
approving large corporate loans, but they may be one of the inputs to a decision.
Credit rating determination:
Quantitative models are used in deriving 'shadow bond rating' for unrated
securities and commercial loans. These ratings in turn influence portfolio limits and other
lending limits used by the institution. In some instances, the credit rating predicted by the
model is used within an institution to challenge the rating assigned by the traditional
credit analysis process.
Credit risk models may be used to suggest the risk premier that should be charged
in view of the probability of loss and the size of the loss given default. Using a mark -to-
market model, an institution may evaluate the costs and benefits of holding a financial
asset. Unexpected losses implied by a credit model may be used to set the capital charge
in pricing.
Instruments of Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk Management encompasses a host of management techniques, which

help the banks in mitigating the adverse impacts of credit risk.
1. Credit Approving Authority
Each bank should have a carefully formulated scheme of delegation of powers.

The banks should also evolve multi-tier credit approving system where the loan proposals
are approved by an 'Approval Grid' or a 'Committee'. The credit facilities above a
specified limit may be approved by the 'Grid' or 'Committee', comprising at least 3 or 4
officers and invariably one officer should represent the CRMD, who has no volume and
profit targets. Banks can also consider credit approving committees at various operating
levels i.e. large branches (where considered necessary), Regional Offices, Zonal Offices,
Head Offices, etc. Banks could consider delegating powers for sanction of higher limits
to the 'Approval Grid' or the 'Committee' for better rated / quality customers. The spirit of
the credit approving system may be that no credit proposals should be approved or
recommended to higher authorities, if majority members of the 'Approval Grid' or
'Committee' do not agree on the creditworthiness of the borrower. In case of
disagreement, the specific views of the dissenting member/s should be recorded.
The banks should also evolve suitable framework for reporting and evaluating the
quality of credit decisions taken by various functional groups. The quality of credit
decisions should be evaluated within a reasonable time, say 3 - 6 months, through a well-
defined Loan Review Mechanism.
2. Prudential Limits
In order to limit the magnitude of credit risk, prudential limits should be laid
down on various aspects of credit:
a) Stipulate benchmark current/debt equity and profitability ratios, debt service coverage
ratio or other ratios, with flexibility for deviations. The conditions subject to which
deviations are permitted and the authority therefore should also be clearly spelt out
in the Loan Policy;
b) Single/group borrower limits, which may be lower than the limits prescribed by
Reserve Bank to provide a filtering mechanism;
d) maximum exposure limits to industry, sector, etc. should be set up. There must also
be systems in place to evaluate the exposures at reasonable intervals and the limits
should be adjusted especially when a pm1icular sector or industry faces slowdown

or other sector/industry specific problems. The exposure limits to sensitive sectors,
such as, advances against equity shares, real estate, etc., which are subject to a high
degree of asset price volatility and to specific industries, which are subject to
frequent business cycles, may necessarily be restricted. Similarly, high-risk
industries, as perceived by the bank, should also be placed under lower portfolio
limit. Any excess exposure should be fully backed by adequate collaterals or
strategic considerations.
e) Banks may consider maturity profile of the loan book, keeping in view the market
risks inherent in the balance sheet, risk evaluation capability, liquidity, etc.
3 Risk Rating
Banks should have a comprehensive risk scoring / rating system that serves as a
single point indicator of diverse risk factors of counterparty and for taking credit
decisions in a consistent manner. To facilitate this, a substantial degree of standardization
is required in ratings across borrowers. The risk rating system should be designed to
reveal the overall risk of lending, critical input for setting pricing and non -price terms of
loans as also present meaningful information for review and management of loan
portfolio. The risk rating, in short, should reflect the underlying credit risk of the loan
book. The rating exercise should also facilitate the credit granting authorities some
comfort in its knowledge of loan quality at any moment of time.
4 Risk Pricing
Risk-return pricing is a fundamental tenet of risk management. In a risk -return

setting, borrowers with weak financial position and hence placed in high credit risk
category should be priced high.
Banks should evolve scientific systems to price the credit risk, which should have
a bearing on the expected probability of default. The pricing of loans normally should be
linked to risk rating or credit quality. The probability of default could be derived from the
past behavior of the loan portfolio, which is the function of loan loss provision.

Banks should build historical database on the portfolio quality and provisioning /
charge off to equip themselves to price the risk. But value of collateral, market forces,
perceived value of accounts, future business potential, portfolio/industry exposure and
strategic reasons may also play important role in pricing. Flexibility should also be made
for revising the price (risk premier) due to changes in rating / value of collaterals over
time. Large sized banks across the world have already put in place Risk Adjusted Return
on Capital (RAROC) framework for pricing of loans, which calls for data on portfolio
behavior
And allocation of capital commensurate with credit risk inherent in loan

proposals. Under RAROC framework, lender begins by charging an interest mark -up to
cover the expected loss - expected default rate of the rating category of the borrower. The
lender then allocates enough capital to the prospective loan to cover some amount of
unexpected loss- variability of default rates. Generally, international banks allocate
enough capital so that the expected loan loss reserve or provision plus allocated capital
cover 99% of the loan loss outcomes.
Portfolio Management
The existing framework of tracking the Non Performing Loans around the balance
sheet date does not signal the quality of the entire Loan Book. Banks should evolve
proper systems for identification of credit weaknesses well in advance. Most of
international banks have adopted various portfolio management techniques for gauging
asset quality. The CRMD, set up at Head Office should be assigned the responsibility of
periodic monitoring of the portfolio.
The portfolio quality could be evaluated by tracking the migration (upward or

downward) of borrowers from one rating scale to another. This process would be
meaningful only if the borrower-wise ratings are updated at quarterly / half-yearly
intervals. Data on movements within grading categories provide a useful insight into the
nature and composition of loan book.
The banks could also consider the following measures to maintain the portfolio
1) Evaluate the rating-view distribution of borrowers In vanous industry, business
segments,
2) Exposure to one industry/sector should be evaluated on the basis of overall rating

distribution of borrowers in the sector/group. In this context, banks should weigh the
pros and cons of specialization and concentration by industry group. In cases where
port folio exposure to a single industry is badly performing, the banks may increase
the quality standards for that specific industry;
6. Loan Review Mechanism (LRM)
LRM is an effective tool for constantly evaluating the quality of loan book and to
bring about qualitative improvements in credit administration. Banks should, therefore,
put in place proper Loan Review Mechanism for large value accounts with
responsibilities assigned in various areas such as, evaluating the effectiveness of loan
administration, maintaining the integrity of credit grading process, assessing the loan loss
provision, portfolio quality, etc. The complexity and scope of LRM normally vary based
on banks' size, type of operations and management practices. It may be independent of
the C RMD or even separate Department in large banks.
The main objectives of LRM could be:
• To identify promptly loans which develop credit weaknesses and initiate timely
corrective action;
• To evaluate portfolio quality an~ isolate potential problem areas;
• To provide information for determining adequacy of loan loss provision;
• To assess the adequacy of and adherence to, loan policies and procedures, and
to monitor Compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
• To provide top management with information on credit administration,
including credit Sanction process, risk evaluation and post-sanction follow-up.

Accurate and timely credit grading is one of the basic components of an effective
LRM. Credit grading involves assessment of credit quality, identification of problem
loans, and assignment of risk ratings. A proper Credit Grading System should support
evaluating the p0l1folio quality and establishing loan loss provisions. Given the
importance and subjective nature of credit rating, the credit ratings awarded by Credit
Administration Department should be subjected to review by Loan Re view Officers who
are independent of loan administration.
The Risk Management Group of the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision has
released a consultative paper on Principles for the Management of Credit Risk. The Paper
deals with various aspects relating to credit risk management. The Paper is enclosed for
information of banks.
6. Qualification and Independence
The Loan Review Officers should have sound knowledge in credit appraisal,
lending practices and loan policies of the bank they should also be well versed in the
relevant laws/regulations that affect lending activities. The independence of Loan Review
Officers should be ensured and the findings of the reviews should also be reported
directly to the Board or Committee of the Board.
7. Frequency and Scope of Reviews
The Loan Reviews are designed to provide feedback on effectiveness of credit

sanction and to identify incipient deterioration in portfolio quality. Reviews of high value
loans should be undertaken usually within three months of sanction /renewal or more
frequently when factors indicate a potential for deterioration in the credit quality. The
scope of the review should cover all loans above a cut -off limit. In addition, banks
should also target other accounts that present elevated risk characteristics. At least 30-
40% of the portfolio should be subjected to LRM in a year to provide reasonable
assurance that all the major credit risks embedded in the balance sheet have been tracked.
Depth of Reviews

The loan reviews should focus on:
• Approval process;
• Accuracy and timeliness of credit ratings assigned by loan officers;
• Adherence to internal policies and procedures, and applicable laws / regulations;
• Compliance with loan convents;
• Post-sanction follow-up;
• Sufficiency of loan documentation;
• Portfolio quality; and
• Recommendations for improving portfolio quality
The findings of Reviews should be discussed with line Managers and the corrective
actions should be elicited for all deficiencies. Deficiencies that remain unresolved should
be reported to top management.
The Risk Management Group of the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision has
released a consultative paper on Principles for the Management of Credit Risk. The Paper
deals with various aspects relating to credit risk management. The Paper is enclosed for
information of banks.
Early warning:
Credit models are used to flag potential problems in the portfolio to facilitate early
corrective action.
Common credit language:
Credit models may be used to select assets from a pool to construct a portfolio acceptable
to investors at the time of asset securitization or to achieve the minimum credit quality
needed to obtain the desired credit rating. Underwriters may use such models for due
diligence on the portfolio (such as a collateralized pool of commercial loans).

Collection strategies:
Credit models may be used in deciding on the best collection or workout strategy
to pursue. If, for example, a credit model indicates that a borrower is experiencing short -
term liquidity problems rather than a decline in credit fundamentals, then an appropriate
workout may be devised.
Credit Risk Models: Approaches
The literature on quantitative risk modeling has two different approaches to credit
risk measurement. The first approach is the development of statistical models through
analysis of historical data. This approach was frequently used in the last two decades. The
second type of modelling approach tries to capture distribution of the firm's asset -value
over a period of time.
The statistical approach tries to rate the firms on a discrete or continuous scale.
The linear model introduced by Altman (1967), also known as the Z -score Model,
separates defaulting firms from non-defaulting ones on the basis of carat in financial
ratios. Altman, Hartwell, and Peck (1995,1996) have modified the original Z -score
model to develop a model specific to emerging markets. This model is known as the
Emerging Market Scoring (EMS) model.
The second type of modeling approach tries to capture distribution of the financial
asset value over a period of time. This model is based on the expected default frequency
(EDF) model. It calculates the asset value of a film from the market value of its equity
using an option pricing based approach that recognizes equity as a call option on the
underlying asset of the firm. It tries to estimate the asset value path of the firm over a
time horizon. The default risk is the probability of the estimated asset value falling below
a prespecified default point. This model is based conceptually on Merton's (1974)
contingent hassock and has been working very well for estimating default risk in a liquid
market.

Closely related to credit risk models are portfolio risk models. In the last three
years, important advances have been made in modeling credit risk in lending portfolios.
The new models are designed to quantify credit risk on a portfolio basis, and thus are
applied at the time of diversification as well as portfolio based pricing. These models
estimate the loss distribution associated with the P0l1folio and identify the risky
components by assessing the risk contribution of each member in the portfolio.
Banks may adopt any model depending on their size, complexity, risk bearing capacity
and risk appetite, etc. However, the credit risk models followed by banks should, at the
least, achieve the following:
1. Result in differentiating the degree of credit risk in different credit exposures of a

bank. The system could provide for transaction -based or borrower-based rating or
both. It is recommended that all exposures are to be rated. Restricting risk
measurement to only large sized exposures may fail to capture the p0l1folio risk
in entirety for variety of reasons. For instance, a large sized exposure for a short
time may be less risky than a small sized exposure for a long time.
2. Identify concentration in the portfolios
3. Identify problem credits before they become NPAs
4. Identify adequacy/ inadequacy of loan provisions
5. Help in pricing of credit
6. Recognize variations in macro-economic factors and a possible impact under
alternative scenarios
7. Determine the impact on profitability of transactions and relationship.

DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Primary data: Primary data collected through the interaction with chief manager, senior
manager and bank staff.
Secondary Data: Secondary data collected from bank circulars, bank guidelines book
and internet.
Brief Findings
Current system of credit risk management
Canara Bank has a system of checks and balance in place of extension of credit.
The aspect covered under the present system is multiple credit approvals, independt audit
and risk review and risk rating system for various categories of system and corresponding
pricing mechanism. The bank maintains a diversified portfolio of risk assets, and ensures
on going control of risk considerations .All credit exposures above RS 5 Crores are
assigned risk waiting assigned by domestic credit rating agencies recognized by RBI
The credit risk management system at the branch level has been maped out in detail
1. Internal rating based (IRB) approach the standardized approach adopted so far,
provides incentives to banks improving their credit risk management techniques.
2. Banks may have discretion and flexibility in defining the exposure classes, such as
corporate, project finance, etc.
3. Unless suitable modified, the adoption of the new Accord in its present format
would result in significant increase in the capital charge for banks.

OUTLOOK FOR 2010-11
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook, April 2010
raised its forecast for world economic growth in 2010 to 4.2% as against a 0.6%
contraction in 2009. However, IMF forecasted that advanced economies would not exit
the global recession until the middle of 2010 and emerging economies, which are
increasingly driven by domestic growth factors, will continue to drive global recovery.
Financial year 2010-11 started on a positive note for Indian economy with major macro
economic parameters performing well. Industrial growth and exports have been showing
steady increase and the continued strong growth in manufacturing indicates the resilience
of domestic demand. A strong saving and investment rate, favourable capital market
conditions and improved capital flows and positive business outlook will also help the
economy towards a faster revival. Going forward, the strong domestic demand and
sustained increase in per capita income will ensure faster economic growth. Thrust on
inclusive growth and focus on the rural economy would propel the growth engine of the
economy further.
Indian economy will remain one of the fastest growing economies in the world in view of
the expected recovery in agricultural production, industrial output, demand for higher
exports and the revival of global economy. The RBI in its Annual Monetary Policy
Statement for 2010-11 placed real GDP growth for 2010-11 at 8%, with an upward bias.
The RBI envisages containing money supply (M3) at around 17% in consonance with the
outlook on growth and inflation. While aggregate deposits of SCBs are projected to grow
at 18%, adjusted non-food credit is likely to record a growth of 20% during 2010-11, as
indicated by the RBI. The annual policy also endeavors to contain inflation at a benign
level of 5.5%, with a medium term goal of 3%.

Findings
1. The proposed standardized Basel2 to approach does not fits the needs of smaller
banking organization engaged primarily traditional banking.
2. The current nor proposed capital frameworks yet address what is perhaps the most
critical risk factor for the smaller banks - geographic and sect oral concentrations
of credit risk.
3. Internal ratting based approach provides positive incentives to banks in improving
their credit risk management techniques.
4. Banks may have discretion and flexibility in defining the exposure classes that
which corporate, project finance, etc.
5. Unless suitably modified the adoption of the new accord in its present format
would result in significant increase in the capital charge for bank.
6. Additional cost of capital will increase to the bank and bank may go for capital
market to raise the found.
7. Bank as well documented schemes delegation powers for credit sanction.

LIMITATIONS
1. The study restricted to only one branch.
2. The time constraint was a limiting factor, as more time required carrying 0 ut study
on other aspects of the topic.
3. Due to secrecy it is difficult obtain actual facts and figures of advances of branches.
suggestion

1. The bank will now have to adopt the credit risk assessment system which is an
international standard specified for the banking system.
2. Due to increased sensitivity towards risk under the new norms, the risk will come
down significantly. This will lead to an increase in the regulatory capitalization
levels, which will increase the cost of capital, which may be passed on to the
customers.
3 The banks will have to exercise due care in maintaining the portfolio of risk assets
in order not to increase unduly the required regulatory capitalization level. This may in
turn in duce conservatism in the bank in taking of risky portfolio of advances, a danger
they have to guard against. It will indeed be a delicate balancing task.

Conclusion
The variability of return around the expected average is thus a quantitative

description of risk .Moreover, this measure of risk is simply a proxy for risk
because other measures cud be used.
The total variance is the rate of return on a stock around the expected average that
includes both systematic and unsystematic risk.
