Banks should undertake focussed scrutiny of the balance sheets in a prescribed format
given in Vol. II of the Manual (Item No. 6A) to identify/analyse key measures of returns and
risks, assumed by them and to demonstrate the relationship of returns and risks. The format is
broadly divided into two parts - Part I - identifies inputs and Part II - indicates the various ratios,
amounts, etc. which require detailed interpretation. The inputs and outputs are broadly classified
on CAMEL basis. The analysis of the balance sheets should be undertaken by the banks
immediately on finalisation of the annual accounts, as per the suggested framework and submit a
memorandum to their Board of Directors. A copy of the note put up to the Board together with
analysis (in floppies) should be submitted to the Reserve Bank of India, Dept. of Banking
Supervision, Central Office, OSMOS Division, Mumbai on a regular basis.

ii) In the case of shares for which current quotations are not available
or where the shares are not quoted on the Stock Exchanges the same
should be taken at Book Value (without considering revaluation
reserves, if any) which is to be ascertained from the latest balance
sheet. In case latest balance sheet is not available, the shares are to
be taken at Re. 1 per company.
iii) In the case of public sector companies, shares of PSUs should be
valued at the break-up value as per the balance sheet as at 31st
March of the previous year (i.e. In the case of bank balance sheet as
at 31st March, 1997, the PSUs' balance sheet should be as at 31st
March, 1996). In case the previous years balance sheet of the PSU is
not available, the break-up value as per the balance sheet of one year
earlier should be worked out and the break-up value should be
reduced or discounted by 20 per cent. If the balance sheet of one year
earlier is also not available, the shares of the concerned PSU should
be valued at Re.1 per company.

Calculation of `cost' of the 5 year Capital Indexed Bonds, 2002 as on March 31, 1998.
The bonds were issued in December 1997 at par. The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) for August 1997 was taken as the
Base WPI. Similarly the Reference WPI for payment of the redemption value in December 2002 is taken as the WPI
for August 2002. Thus, a clear 3 months' lag is followed for indexation of capital. The same principle can be applied
for arriving at `cost' for the purpose of valuation of Capital Indexed bonds. If the valuation of the bond is to be done in
March 1998, the index ratio can be calculated by taking the WPI for November 1997 as the Reference WPI. While
thus for every quarter ending March of a year, the numerator will take WPI of November of the previous year, for
other quarters ending in months viz. June, September and December, every year, the index ratio will take in the
numerator WPI for February, May and August of the respective years.
Assuming that the Monthly Average Index of Wholesale Prices (1981-82=100) for November 1997 is 329.90. The
Reference WPI is 329.90. The base WPI, i.e. the WPI for August 1997 is 326.00. The calculation of `cost' of Capital
Indexed Bonds is illustrated below :
