Overview of Banking and Financial Institutions

The banking system in India is significantly different from that of other Asian nations because of

the country’s unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics. India has a large

population and land size, a diverse culture, and extreme disparities in income, which are marked

among its regions. There are high levels of illiteracy among a large percentage of its population

but, at the same time, the country has a large reservoir of managerial and technologically

advanced talents. Between about 30 and 35 percent of the population resides in metro and urban

cities and the rest is spread in several semi-urban and rural centers. The country’s economic

policy framework combines socialistic and capitalistic features with a heavy bias towards public

sector investment. India has followed the path of growth-led exports rather than the “export led

growth” of other Asian economies, with emphasis on self-reliance through import substitution.

These features are reflected in the structure, size, and diversity of the country’s banking and

financial sector. The banking system has had to serve the goals of economic policies enunciated

in successive five year development plans, particularly concerning equitable income distribution,

balanced regional economic growth, and the reduction and elimination of private sector

monopolies in trade and industry. In order for the banking industry to serve as an instrument of

state policy, it was subjected to various nationalization schemes in different phases (1955, 1969,

and 1980). As a result, banking remained internationally isolated (few Indian banks had presence

abroad in international financial centers) because of preoccupations with domestic priorities,

especially massive branch expansion and attracting more people to the system. Moreover, the

sector has been assigned the role of providing support to other economic sectors such as

agriculture, small-scale industries, exports, and banking activities in the developed commercial

centers (i.e., metro, urban, and a limited number of semi-urban centers).

Post-independence Banking

The partition of India bought about a social unrest throughout India in 1947. Riot and chaos

ruled. The most adversely impacted provinces were the Punjab and West Bengal. So did the

economies of both these provinces. As a result, the banking activities had remained paralyzed for

months. Till then the banking sector was wide open and there were almost no regulation. Most of

the promoters were private players. With Independence, things started changing. Rather the

independence marked the end of a regime of the Laissez-faire for the Indian banking. The new

government initiated a process of playing an active role in the economy of the nation. The

Industrial Policy Resolution adopted by the government in 1948 was the first step towards it. The

resolution opted for a mixed economy. This resulted into greater control and involvement of the

state in different segments of the economy, more so, in the sensitive sectors including banking

and finance. The important banking regulatory steps were as follows:

In 1948, India's central banking authority the Reserve Bank of India got nationalized,

and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.

With the enactment of the Banking Regulation Act in 1949, the Reserve Bank of

India (RBI) got empowered "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."

The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existing

bank may be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks could have

common directors.

Interestingly, despite these provisions, control and regulations, almost all banks in India except

the State Bank of India, continued to be owned and operated by private persons. However, the

situation changed dramatically with the nationalization of major banks in India on 19th July,

1969.

Nationalization

From Independence, it took some years for the banking sector to mature. By 1960s, the Indian

banking industry did occupy an important position to facilitate the development of the Indian

economy. Moreover, it did employ a quantum volume which could affect national economy. It

resulted in a debate about the possibility to nationalize the banking industry. At that point, during

the annual conference of the All India Congress Meeting, in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on

Bank Nationalization", Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India expressed the intention

of the GOI favoring nationalization. The paper was received with positive enthusiasm.

Thereafter, in a swift and sudden move, the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalized the 14

largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969. The decision was even

termed as a "masterstroke of political sagacity" by non other than a leader of the stature of

Jaypraksh Narayan. Then, within the next fortnight of issuing the ordinance, the Parliament

passed the Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill. The bill finally

received the presidential approval on 9th August, 1969.

Nationalized banks (19 banks): In 1969, the Government arranged the nationalization of 14

scheduled commercial banks in order to expand the branch network, followed by six more in

1980. A merger reduced the number from 20 to 19. Nationalized banks are wholly owned by the

Government, although some of them have made public issues. In contrast to the state bank group,

nationalized banks are centrally governed, i.e., by their respective head offices. Thus, there

is only one board for each nationalized bank and meetings are less frequent (generally, once a

month). The state bank group and nationalized banks are together referred to as the public sector

banks (PSBs). Tables 1 and 2 provide details of public issues and post-issue shareholdings of

these PSBs.

Regional Rural Banks (RRBs): In 1975, the state bank group and nationalized banks were

required to sponsor and set up RRBs in partnership with individual states to provide low-cost

financing and credit facilities to the rural masses.

In 1980, there came the second phase of nationalization of 6 more commercial banks. The reason

forwarded for this was to have more control of credit delivery by the government. By the time,

GOI effectively got hold of 91% control of the total banking business of India.

Till 1990s, all nationalised banks grew at a pace of around 4%, similar to the average growth rate

of the Indian economy.

Post-liberalization

In the early 1990s, with the Narsimha Rao government embarking on a policy of liberalization

the situation started changing. Licenses were issued to a small number of private banks, such as

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narsimha_Rao

Global Trust Bank (the first of such new generation banks to be set up)which later amalgamated

with Oriental Bank of Commerce, UTI Bank(now re-named as Axis Bank), ICICI Bank and

HDFC Bank. These banks also came to be known as New

Generation tech-savvy banks because of their improved service condition and their extensive use

of IT in the operations.

This move instigated competition, resulting increased efficiency and performance and did a lot of

good to the banking sector. The rapid growth in the economy of India, again as a result of

liberalization, also did help transform the sector to this new look. The new situation shifted

many goal posts. Till then, the widely used method of 4-6-4 (Borrow at 4%; Lend at 6%; Go

home at 4) of functioning by the banks become redundant. Technology, competition, change in

customer behavior, macro-economic conditions, government policies, resultant of all together

ushered a new modern, efficient and innovating banking environment in India. People started

receiving more from the banks and also constantly started demanding more. Retail banking boom

can be attributed to this phenomenon.

With the second phase of economic reforms, the next stage for the Indian banking has been setup

with the proposed relaxation in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign

Investors in banks may be given voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%. It’s

notable that FDI permissible limit, at present, has gone up to 49% with some restrictions.

Current situation

Today, the banking sector in India is fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach.

As far as private sector and foreign banks are concerned, the reach in rural India still remains a

challenge. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have

clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in

its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the

government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility but

without any fixed exchange rate. Till now, there is hardly any deviation seen from this stated

goal which is again very encouraging.

With passing time, Indian economy is further expected to grow and be strong for quite some

time-especially in its services sector. The demand for banking services, especially retail banking,

mortgages and investment services are expected to grow stronger. Therefore, it is not hard to

forecast few M&As, takeovers, and asset sales in the sector. Consolidation is going to be another

order of the day.

The significant change in the policy and attitude that is currently being seen is encouraging for

the banking sector growth. In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus, a

private foreign investor, to increase its stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank to 10%. Notably, this is

the first time that a foreign individual investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a

private sector bank since 2000. Earlier, The RBI in 2005 announced that any stake exceeding 5%

by foreign individual investors in the private sector banks would need to be vetted by them.

“Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector banks (that is

with the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private banks (these do not have government

stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks. They

have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to a report by

ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the

banking industry, with the private and foreign bank holding 18.2%and 6.5% respectively”

Concept of SMEsSmall & medium enterprises (SME) sector is the future of India. In order to sustain the economic

growth and development of the country, it is essential that the SME sectors play their role

without which the growth story of India will be dampened.

With the advent of planned economy from 1951 and the subsequent industrial policyfollowed by Government of India, both planners and Government earmarked aspecial role for small-scale industries and medium scale industries in the Indianeconomy. Due protection was accorded to both sectors, and particularly for small-scaleindustries from 1951 to 1991, till the nation adopted a policy of liberalizationand globalization. Certain products were reserved for small-scale units for a longtime, though this list of products is decreasing due to change in industrial policiesand climate.SMEs always represented the model of socio-economic policies of Government ofIndia which emphasized judicious use of foreign exchange for import of capital goodsand inputs; labour intensive mode of production; employment generation; nonconcentration of diffusion of economic power in the hands of few (as in the case ofbig houses); discouraging monopolistic practices of production and marketing; andfinally effective contribution to foreign exchange earning of the nation with lowimport-intensive operations. It was also coupled with the policy of de-concentration ofindustrial activities in few geographical centers. However, one of the biggest hurdles to the growth in the SME sector is lack of access to

appropriate form of capital or funding. Traditionally, projects were funded for entrepreneurs in

the SME sector by essentially some bank borrowings apart from the promoters contributions,

however the modern concepts and thinking has undergone a sea change. There are various

alternative avenues to attracting the appropriate for of capital for good projects and credible

entrepreneurs. These could be innovative products that the new age banks have started, or even

funding through structures that NBFC may offer. Further, in most countries, venture capital and

private equity funds have played a big role in the growth of the economy. They become partners

in growth and back the project and the entrepreneurs, not only by providing funds, but also by

playing a supportive role in formation of business strategies.

However, to even be in the radar for growth there are certain "must dos" for the entrepreneurs in

the SME sector and that is compliances, transparency and corporate governance. These are the

essential tools for accelerating growth. In order to provide our members in SME sector a first

hand view from the best names and brains on the subject, MSME subcommittee of CII(ER) is

organizing a seminar on "Alternative Avenues to SME Financing" for fueling growth.

This programme, with participation of senior representatives of the Government of West Bengal,

Financial Institutions and SME Industry is expected to bring focus on the need of improving

Corporate Governance for meeting the growth related funding needs of the Industry.

This will promote a better understanding of the needs of both the financial institutions as well as

the industry and thereby benefit both.

While the opportunity to listen to so many experts under one roof is itself rare, in order to make

the seminar additionally beneficial for the participants we would be requesting the participants to

submit their company's short profile to us which would be handed over to the speakers whom the

participant may feel would have a role to play in the growth of his/her business.

Current Buzzword in Banking Industry is "SME Financing". The micro, small and medium

enterprises (MSME) sector accounts for about 39% of the manufacturing output, 45% of India’s

industrial employment and around 33% of the total export of the country. Further, in recent

years the SME sector has consistently registered higher growth rate compared to the overall

industrial sector. The major advantage of the sector is its employment potential at low capital

cost. As per available statistics, this sector employs an estimated 31 million persons spread over

12.8 million enterprises and the labour intensity in the SME sector is estimated to be almost 4

times higher than the large enterprises.

SME Financing is the funding of small and medium sized enterprises and represents a major

function of the general business finance market – in which capital for firms of types is supplied,

acquired, and priced. Capital is supplied through the business finance market in the form of bank

loans and overdrafts; leasing and hire-purchase arrangements; equity/corporate bond issues;

venture capital or private equity; and asset-based finance such as factoring and invoice

discounting.

Government of India has realized the importance of this sector and has announced a policy for doubling of outstanding credit to SME Sector by the year 2009-10. Government of India has

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_equity

taken various initiatives to step up credit flow to SMEs through bringing out a new legislation named Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development (MSMED) Act 2006. Unlike large industries, which have access to various domestic and international sources of finance, SMEs are dependent largely on Bank Credit. The banks are trying to outweigh each other through aggressive promotional strategies to create a niche segment in SME financing.

It can be observed that SMEs in India met the expectations of the Government in this respect. SMEs developed in a manner, which made it possible for them to achieve the following objectives:High contribution to domestic productionSignificant export earningsLow investment requirementsOperational flexibilityLocation wise mobilityLow intensive importsCapacities to develop appropriate indigenous technologyImport substitutionContribution towards defense productionTechnology – oriented industriesCompetitiveness in domestic and export markets At the same time one has to understand the Limitations of SMEs, which are:Low Capital baseConcentration of functions in one / two personsInadequate exposure to international environmentInability to face impact of WTO regimeInadequate contribution towards R & DLack of professionalismIn spite of these limitations, the SMEs have made significant contribution towardstechnological development and exports.

SMEs have been established in almost all-major sectors in the Indian industry suchas:Food ProcessingAgricultural InputsChemicals & PharmaceuticalsEngineering; Electricals; ElectronicsElectro-medical equipmentTextiles and GarmentsLeather and leather goodsMeat productsBio-engineeringSports goodsPlastics products

Computer Software, etc.

As a result of globalization and liberalization, coupled with WTO regime, IndianSMEs have been passing through a transitional period. With slowing down ofeconomy in India and abroad, particularly USA and European Union and enhancedcompetition from China and a few low cost centers of production from abroad manyunits have been facing a tough time.Those SMEs who have strong technological base, international business outlook,competitive spirit and willingness to restructure themselves shall withstand thepresent challenges and come out with shining colours to make their own contributionto the Indian economy.

SME Business In BOB

In India, the SME (small & medium enterprises) sector is the biggest provider of employment next to Agriculture.The official statistics shows that SMEs constitute 95.0% of total industrial units and contribute 40.0% to total industrial output. They manufacture more than 8,000 products in various sectors like pharmaceuticals, garments, textiles, auto ancillary, jewellery and software. The contribution of services sector within the SME segment is quite significant; especially IT enabled services, hospitality services, tourism, couriering,transportation, etc. SMEs are playing a vital role in the job creation process.

The Bank has always been a forerunner in the development of small-scale enterprises and has formulated liberal and comprehensive SME Loan Policy for its SME customers. Furthermore, to give a focused attention to emerging SMEs in India, the Bank has been considering other commercial units also with a turnover up to Rs 100 crore at par with the SMEs.

To promote the growth of SME Sector, the Bank has launched a special and novel delivery model, viz. SME Loan Factory,which is presently functioning in 34 centres of the Bank and is well accepted in the market. The SME Loan Factory is an innovative model for streamlining processes and for timely sanctions of SME loan proposals. The model comprises of the Central Processing Cell for speedy appraisal and sanctioning of proposals within the stipulated deadline. A team of Relationship Managers stationed at different branches of the Bank spread over micro segments of the city reaches out to customers to facilitate completion of pre-sanction formalities in a hassle free manner. The Relationship Managers would also be marketing, not only various SME products of the Bank, but also other products and services including the Third Party products like Life Insurance, Mutual Funds, Equity Trading etc. The above model operates on an assembly-line principle with simplified processes using latest technology and in-house, skilled and trained man-power.

Out of 34 SME Loan Factories as on 31.3.2009, seven SME Loan Factories have been established during the year.The Bank has SME Loan Factories at all major business centres across the country, viz.

BANK’S POLICY IN RESPECT OF LENDING TO SME SECTOR

1. PREAMBLEIn India, SME is the biggest provider of employment next only to Agriculture. The SMEs constitute 95% of total industrial units and constitute 40% of total industrial output.Formerly, both Government and RBI credit policy placed emphasis on manufacturing units from the Small Scale Sector. However, in order to make the size of the unit and the technology employed by firms to be globally competitive, the definition of “Small Scale Sector” was revisited. Keeping in view the same and the global practices, it was decided to broaden the concept of SSI Sector by inclusion of services within its ambit as also including the “Medium Enterprises” in a composite sector of “Small & Medium Enterprises”.Subsequently, MSMED Act was operationalized with effect from 2nd October 2006, which defines an “enterprise” instead of an “industry” to give recognition to service sector and also defines a “medium enterprise” to facilitate technology upgradation and graduation.In order to address the issues of SME sector and ensure growth of credit to this sector , Hon’ble Union Finance Minister unveiled package for SME Sector in August, 2005 and RBI, vide its circular No.RPCD.PLNFS.BC.No.31/06.02.31/2005-06 dated 19.08.2005, advised the Banks action points for implementation of package.Banks were interalia advised to formulate comprehensive and more liberal policies than the existing policies in respect of loans to SME Sector.Accordingly, Bank formulated comprehensive SME Policy for financing SME Sector in November, 2005 which was subsequently reviewed in 2007.The current review of Policy is undertaken to update the bank’s guidelines on financing SME Sector.

2. OBJECTIVESThe SME Loan Policy is framed with the following objectives:To improve flow of credit to SME Sector.To formulate norms of lending to SME sector, to ensure availability of adequate and timely credit to the sector.To provide guidelines to the branches to dispense credit to SME Sector.To devise an organizational structure at all levels for handling SME credit portfolio in a more focused manner.To comply with terms of Policy package announced by Hon’ble Union Finance Minister on 10.08.2005 and further guidelines received fromReserve Bank of India from time to time for improving flow of credit to SMESector.

5. COMPOSITION OF SME SECTORThe SME Sector includes Micro Enterprises, Small Enterprises, Artisans & Village Industries, Medium Enterprises, Service Sector units & individual sub-sector units.a. Micro EnterprisesMicro Enterprises are those engaged in manufacturing, processing, preservation of goods, mining, quarrying, servicing & repairing of specified type of machinery & equipment, agro service units whose investment in Plant and Machineries does not exceed Rs. 25.00 lacsirrespective of location of the unit in respect of manufacturing units and investment in equipments not exceeding Rs 10.00 lacs in respect of Service Sector units.b. Small Enterprises:A Small Enterprise industrial undertaking / unit is one which is engaged in the manufacture, processing or preservation of goods or is a Servicing and repair workshop undertaking repairs of machinery used for production, mining or quarrying or custom service unit (except water service units), having investment in Plant and Machineries (original cost) above Rs 25.00 lacs but not exceeding Rs. 5.00 cores in respect of manufacturing unit and above Ra 10.00 lacs but not exceeding Rs 2.00 cores in respect of Service Sector unit.

c. Medium EnterprisesA Unit which is engaged in the manufacture, processing or preservation of goods or is a servicing and repair workshop undertaking repairs of machinery used for production, mining

or quarrying or custom service unit (except water service units), with investment in Plant & Machinery in excess of Rs 5.00 crores and upto Rs.10.00 crores in respect of manufacturing units and investment in equipments in excess of Rs 2.00 crores and upto Rs 5.00 crores in respect of Service Sector units will be treated as Medium Enterprises (MEs).

d. Khadi and Village Industries Sector (KVI)All advances granted to units in the KVI sector, irrespective of their size of operations, location and amount of original investment in Plant and Machinery.

BANK OF BARODA’S APPROACH TO SME SECTOR OUR BANK’S APPROACH TO SME SECTORSMEs are growth engines for development of Economy.Our bank has therefore for internal purposes given focused attention to finance all Commercial enterprises i.e. enterprises which may be outside the purview of regulatory definition of SME but having turnover upto Rs 150.00 crores and new infrastructureand real estate projects where the project cost is upto Rs. 50/- crores by treating them as part of SME segment. SME Banking business will thus include the following across thebank:o Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises – as per regulatory definition irrespective geographical location, i.e. rural, semiurban, urban, metro areas.o All other entities with their annual sales turnover of Rs. 1/- crore to Rs. 150/- crores and new infrastructure and real estate projects, where the project cost is upto Rs. 50/- crores.o SMEs which are Associate/sister concerns of Wholesale Banking customers.o Clubs, Trusts, etc. o Financing under various Government schemes launched forMSME Sector.However, such units, which are outside the purview of regulatory definition will not form part of Priority Sector lending.

7. ESTABLISHMENT OF SME LOAN FACTORIESBusiness Model which operates on assembly line principle is adopted by the bank for hassle free and faster dispensing of credit to SME segment. This model titled SME Loan factory has separate Hub for Centralized Processing of SME proposals. As of March, 2009, 34 SME Loan Factories have been operationalized across the country.

COMPUTATION OF VALUE OF INVESTMENT IN PLANT AND MACHINERY

For computing the value of the investment in Plant and Machinery,cost of the following items should be included:

1. Original cost of Plant and Machinery (price paid by the owner / hirer / lessor).2. Cost of control panels, starters, Electric Motors, other electrical accessories mounted on individual machines.3. Cost of only those testing and quality control equipments, which are, used for/in process testing.

TARGETS FOR PRIORITY SECTOR / SME SECTOR LENDINGAs regards lending to SME Sector, Banks are advised to fix their own target in order to achieve a minimum 20% YOY growth in credit to SME as per statutory guidelines so as to double flow of credit to SME sector by the year 2009-10. There is no sub-target fixed for lending to small enterprises sector. However in order to ensure that credit is available toall segments of the Small Enterprises sector, banks are advised to ensure that 60% of the total advances to small enterprises sector should go to Micro Enterprises as under:o 40% to Micro (manufacturing) enterprises with investment in plant and machinery upto Rs.5 lacs and Micro(service) enterprises having investment in equipment upto Rs.2 lacso 20% to Micro (manufacturing) enterprises with investment in plant and machinery above Rs.5 lacs and upto Rs.25 lacs and Micro(service) enterprises having investment in equipment above Rs.2 lacs and upto Rs.10 lacs.

It is because, the firm is to repay the Working Capital Demand Loan (Unsecured Loan) which was availed from ABN AMRO Bank on closure of the ‘Channel Financing facility from Axis Bank pafter sanction of the proposed Cash Credit facility,

2.0 COMMENTS ON PERFORMANCE:

Sales:

The firm is an authorized dealer of Indian Oil Corporation Ltd having their service station located at - 36B, Bosipore Road, Kolkata – 700002, one of the premier locations for such unit. They are also stockist of ‘Servo’ Brand of Mobil of IOC for the entire North Kolkata jurisdiction. The firm has achieved a sale of Rs.1642.37 lacs in the last FY 2008-09 as against sales of Rs.1416.10 lacs during FY 2007-08, which is a growth of 15.98%. During the 1st quarter of the current FY 2009-10, the firm has already achieved sales of about Rs.381.29 lacs. On the basis of above the firm has estimated and projected a net sale of Rs 1970.85 lacs & Rs 2266.48 lacs during the current & next FY i.e. 2009-10 & 2010-11 respectively. Considering past trend of increase in sales, present performance and the increasing demand of the product in the area, the estimated and projected level of sales of the firm appears to be reasonable and achievable under normal business circumstances.

Net Profit:

The firm has earned a net profit of Rs.14.07 lacs during last FY i.e. 2008-09 as against Rs.7.49 lacs achieved during 2007-08, which is an increase of 87.85%. With the increase in the volume of sales the firm has estimated & projected a net profit of Rs.20.48 lacs & Rs 23.82 lacs during current & next FY respectively. The operating profit margin is above 2% and return on capital employed is also above 15% in current and next year, which is quite satisfactory.

Net Worth:

Tangible Net Worth position of the firm is gradually improving due to retention of profits as well as on account of introduction of fresh capital into the business. Net worth of the firm during the last financial year was at a level of Rs.99.54 lacs as against Rs.41.50 lacs as on 31/03/2008. The firm has estimated retention of Net Profit of Rs.2.48 lacs during the current FY 2009-10, which would further improve the net worth position of the company. The net worth position of the firm is projected to improve further in the next financial year due to retention of profits in the business.

The movement table of net worth is given below:

(Rs in lacs)

Particulars 31.03.07 31.03.08 31.03.09 31.03.10 31.03.11

Opening TNW 38.66 37.29 41.50 99.54 102.02

Add: Profit after tax/loss 7.86 7.49 14.07 20.48 23.82

Add: Increase in equity / share premium 3.70 29.05 88.21

Closing TNW 37.29 41.50 99.54 102.02 107.84

The net worth position of the firm is improving Y-O-Y and comfortable since the DE ratio is well below the benchmark level.

Current Ratio:

The current ratio of the firm at the end of last financial year i.e. 2008-09 was 1.72, which is above the acceptable level of 1.33, as against 1.18 as on 31/03/2008. The ratio improved due to sudden drop in short term borrowings. With the proposed increase in working capital Limit (Cash Credit) Current ratio has been estimated at 1.48 at the end of the current financial year and projected as 1.40 as on 31.03.2011, which is well above the benchmark level of 1.33 and is acceptable.

Debt Equity Ratio:

TOL/TNW of the firm as on 31/03/2009 was 1.69, which is at the acceptable level as against 6.86 as on 31/03/2008. The ratio improved due to induction of fresh capital of Rs.88.21 lacs. Again TOL/TNW is estimated to slightly increase to 2.15 and 2.48 in 2009-10 and 2010-11 due to increase in Working Capital Bank finance.

3.1 JUSTIFICATION FOR TERM LOAN LIMIT:

3.2 ASSESSMENT OF NON FUND BASED LIMITS :

Letter of Credit Limit – Nil

Bank Guarantee: The firm is already availing the Bank Guarantee limit of Rs.5.00 lacs with 25% cash margin from their existing bankers, issued in favour of Indian Oil Corporation in lieu of Security deposit. Now they require increase in BG limit of Rs.15.00 lacs, for the same purpose. This increase in BG limit has been assessed by IOC on their own depending on our volume of business and prevailing market price from time to time. We may therefore consider sanction of additional Performance Bank Guarantee Limit of Rs.15.00 lacs with 25% cash margin in form of FDR including take over of the existing Bank Guarantee outstanding with Central Bank of India. Accordingly Bank Guarantee limit of Rs.15.00 lacs as requested by the firm is proposed for sanction as per the Terms & Conditions mentioned in Annexure – ‘D’ of the proposal.

3.3 Any other matter which in the opinion of Branch / Zone is important to decide the proposal: Nil

SECTION III- INDUSTRY PERCEPTION

1.0. INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS SCENARIO PERCEPTION :

The overall economic scenario is improving all round the world. The prices of crude oil are also stable since last 3-4 months. The supply of Petroleum products is unlikely to disturb in near future.

The growth in demand of Petrol and petroleum products is directly proportional to the Auto sector. The auto sector is likely to increase by 15% in the current and next year, as per reports available.

Demand for the product is increasing day by day. Suitable alternative / substitute for Petrol/diesel is not available till now.

2.0. STRENGTH, WEAKNESS, OPPORTUNITY & THREATS :

Strength:

1. It is an authorized petrol pump of IOC established over a period of 30 years and stockist of Servo Lubricant since 2003.

2. Located in a strategic area (Get-way of Durgapur Express Road, Delhi Road & Bombay Road)

3. Both sales & profit are increasing steadily during the years.

4. Oil companies are generally not transferring the distributorship to any other individual / corporate bodies.

Weakness:

1. The prices are regulated by Govt of India, so there is little scope for individual units to increase the profit margin.

2. It is a proprietorship concern.

Mitigation: The only Son of Mr. B.Singh is gradually taking over the entire day to day activities of the business. He is young (30 yrs) and has considerable involvement in the business.

Opportunity:

1. With liberalization of economy and stress given on surface transport the demand of petroleum products has increased considerably.

2. The growth in demand of Petrol and petroleum products directly proportional to Auto sector. The auto sector is likely to increase by 15% in the current and next year.

Threat:

1. Competition from other oil companies.

Mitigation: The firm is regularly going for promotional schemes to maintain / retain the customers.

SL. (Observations) Comments of the branch Our comment

1 Accumulated loss Rs.413.01 lacs and Net Worth (-) Rs.177.83 lacs as on 31.03.2006.

Accumulated loss of Rs 413.01 lacs as on 31.03.2006 has been primarily due to accumulated depreciation of Rs 590.63 lacs. It is a capital intensive industry and no revaluation has been done by the company since inception. Such situation has contributed to this quantum of accumulated loss. Such accumulated loss due to depreciation factor as mentioned, has in turn directly affected the net worth position of the company.

At present the situation has improved and accumulated losses have come down to 361.69 lacs as on 31.03.09. As per projections accepted by BIFR in rehabilitation package, the Net worth position is likely to be positive by 2013-14.

2 Sale during 2005-06 decreased to Rs.851.14 lacs from Rs.1128.34 lacs of 2004-05 and Company incurred loss Rs.14.35 lacs from profit of Rs.54.84 lacs.

The sale performance of 2004-05 to the extent of Rs 1128.34 lacs was an unusual, due to availment of opportunity business. As the same market condition did not prevail during the period 2005-06. But the sales performance of Rs 851.14 lacs for the year 2005-06 also far exceeded the sales figure of 2003-04 which was Rs 607.09 lacs.

Now the situation has improved Sales of the company have increased from Rs.725.86 lacs during 2007-08 to Rs.1318.52 lacs for the year 2008-09. In the current year, the company has achieved a sales figure of Rs. 1230.68 lacs in the first half year.

3 Disputed Tax Liability as on 31.03.2006 Rs.74.55 lacs.

4.0) BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY:

The company was incorporated in the year of 1989 with a purpose of manufacturing of industrial gasses like, liquid Oxygen and Nitrogen. The company set its project at Chindwara, M.P. The project was jointly financed by IDBI, ICICI and IIBI. Cost of the project was Rs.580.00 lacs, which was funded by IDBI & ICICI Bank. The unit registered profit from the first year of its operation. However, the unit started incurring losses from the year 1996 onwards due to the following reasons:

2. Irregular power supply from MPSEB hindered the production3. Substantial increase in power tariff by MPSEB.4. Recession in the market5. Decline in the demand of the products owing to recession in the steel industry.6. Increase in transportation cost.

Consequently, complete erosion of net worth took place in the year 1998 and a reference was made to BIFR under SICA – 1985 on 03.11.1999. BIFR declared it as a sick company on 26.04.2000. Meanwhile the company settled the term loan taken from ICICI in 2000. BIFR heard the case on 26.02.2004 and ordered the company to finalise the OTS with IDBI. OTS proposal had also been sanctioned by IDBI for Rs.105.00 lacs and the amount was paid in installments by the company as per terms of the settlement/sanction.

The account was regular with us upto June, 2001. Ad-hoc Cash Credit limit for Rs.11.50 lacs was sanctioned on 21.01.2002 for payment of electricity bill which the company could not adjust in time. The account became NPA on 31.03.2002. By cut back arrangement, the ad-hoc facility of Rs.11.50 lacs was adjusted in July, 2004.

BIFR had appointed IDBI as operating agency for the rehabilitation of the company in 2000. Subsequently the company has settled the dues of the bank as well as those of ICICI bank and IIBI bank, as a result of which Bank of Baroda is now the 1st charge holder of the fixed assets of the company and has been designated as the monitoring agency. The revised salient features of the package in respect of relief and concession are given below:

From MPSEB: The representative of MPSEB stated that their dues are being paid regularly by the company. The representative also requested for two months time to take a decision on the reliefs stipulated in the DRS.

From Govt. of MP: The Govt. of MP is directed to take a decision within 60 days regarding the reliefs and concessions sought under the scheme circulated by the Board vide its order dated 15.12. 2008 and inform the OA (IDBI) of the Board. He shall also depute a representative of the Government to the joint meeting to be convened by IDBI (OA). The next hearing will be held on 14.07.09.

From Bank: To sanction need base working capital on merits.

Promoters: Funding of margin on working capital

The BIFR has given notice to the commercial Tax Department M.P. to expedite their concurrence as all the other agencies have given their consent / approval and only for the commercial Tax department’s delay in giving approval the implementation of DRS is being withheld.

As per decision made by BIFR vide case No. 987/99 dtd. 22.09.2009, the company has got certain relief as a part of rehabilitation package. A major relief awarded to the company are:

1. MPSEB to provide un-interrupted power supply of good quality.2. Arrears of MPSEB shall be allowed to be paid in maximum 36 monthly installments.3. Waiver of Penal charges and surcharge of Rs. 86.59 lacs levied on account of delayed payment

of electricity bill.4. To adjust the current electricity bills against the security deposit of Rs. 31.10 lacs lying with

MPPKVVC and demand security deposit only after rehabilitation period.5. To waive minimum demand charges of Rs. 6.68 lacs levied by MPPKVVC for closure period of

the unit.6. Arrears of commercial tax upto cut-off date, i.e., 31.03.2007, to be deposited in 36 monthly

instalments and waiver of interest/penalty etc.7. Exemption under various sections of IT Act during the period of rehabilitation.

OTHER MAJOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

1. Bank of Baroda, is designated as monitoring agency (MA).2. The company shall constitute a management Committee consisting of the MD of the company,

Representative of MA(BOB) and BIFR Special Director, to closely monitor the implementation of the rehabilitation scheme.

3. The company shall appoint a reputed firm of CA with approval of MA as concurrent auditors, who would be directly reporting to the MA under copy to the MD of the company.

4. The company shall not declare any dividend to its equity holders without prior approval of BIFR during the rehabilitation period.

Surplus (+) Shortfall (-) -25.11 17.15 -129.39 -138.00

As seen from the table above, during the last FY, there was a shortage of Long-Term sources and Rs.17.15 lacs were diverted from short-term sources for long-term uses. This is due to the fact that unsecured loans were repaid by the company amounting to Rs.132.00 lacs, for which the company was required to borrow short-term funds from the bank.

However, in the coming years, Long-term sources are surplus enough to contribute towards the short-term uses. There will be no diversion of short-term fund for long-term purposes in the coming years.


Sales:

Sales of the company have increased from Rs.725.86 lacs during 2007-08 to Rs.1318.52 lacs for the year 2008-09. In the current FY 2009-10, the company has already achieved a sales figure of Rs.1230.68 lacs during the 1st half. The company has estimated / projected Sales of Rs.1610.00 lacs and Rs.1790.00 lacs for the year ended 31.03.2010 and 31.03.2011 respectively which appears to be achievable, based on past performance of the company and also the current year’s performance.

Profitability:The company has posted Net Profit of Rs.11.52 lacs during 2007-08 against Net Loss of Rs.24.87 lacs during 2006-07. The net profit figure has then substantially increased to Rs.64.62 lacs for the year 2008-09. The company has now estimated / projected net profit of Rs.71.35 lacs and Rs.75.00 lacs for the year 2009-10 and 2010-11 respectively.

The operating profit margin was 9.84% and 5.03% during the last year 2008-09 and is estimated / projected at around 8-9% and 4-5% for the future years. Considering the sales performance of the company and better sales realization, the assumptions made by the company appears to be attainable.

Tangible Net Worth:

The Net Worth of the Company is negative since 1999 and as on 31.03.07. The accumulated loss was Rs.437.8 lacs as on 31.03.2007, which has improved to (-) Rs.361.73 lacs as on 31.03.2009 due to retention of net profits during 20007-08 and 2008-09. The Tangible net worth position as on 31.03.09 was (-) Rs.167.73 lacs. The Net worth position is likely to be positive by 2011-12 because the company has estimated reduction in accumulated losses in the coming years and it is estimated / projected that the entire loss will be wiped out in the year 2013-14 by way of plough back of Net Profits into the business. Considering the fact that the performance of the company is improving and sales realization is also better, the assumptions made by the company appear to be reasonable.

Current Ratio:

The Current Ratio of the company was at 1.26 as on 31.03.2008. The current ratio has dropped to 1.09, as on 31.03.2009.The reason for low current ratio is high bank borrowing on the last day of the month. However, the company has estimated current ratio as 1.86 and 2.63 for the year 2009-210 and 2010-2011,which shows an upward movement in the trend, which is acceptable.

Creditors Holding Level 145 61 46 42

Stock Turnover Ratio:

The company’s stock turnover level is within 1 month, which is quite reasonable.

Debtors Turnover Ratio:

Debtor Turnover Ratio of the company is 30-45 days. A low debtor’s recovery cycle indicates that the company is able to realize its debts relatively quickly compared to other industries. This empowers the company with more liquidity and less dependence on working capital fund from the banks.

Creditors Turnover level:

The company is enjoying the credit for 1-2 months from the market, which reduce there dependence on banks/Fis, for working capital funds. That is the main reason for credit balance in CC account most of the time.

3.2 ASSESMENT OF NON FUND BASED LIMITS :

Performance Bank Guarantee Limit

The company is enjoying Bank Guarantee limit of Rs.2.00 lacs since 1991. The company has availed Bank Guarantees for Rs.1.77 lacs against sanctioned BG limit of Rs.2.00 lacs. The guarantee is furnished in favour of The President of India, Collector of Customs for the company’s disputed customs duty liability since 1990. The case is still pending in Mumbai High Court and the company has requested for continuation of Bank Guarantee till the finalization of the case, as the guarantee is to be continued till the court gives the judgment in the case.

However, the facility of one time guarantee limit of Rs.13.27 lacs (against 100% cash margin), which has been given to the company for execution of specific order from Bhilai Steel Plant.

The company has also availed a performance bank guarantee of Rs.17.56 lacs in favour of SAIL / BSP, against 100% earmarking of Cash credit limit.

Looking into the genuine requirement of the company, the overall performance B.G limit has been proposed at Rs.30.00 lacs, at a cash margin of 10% as per request of the company. Which is required for procurement of supply orders/Tenders.

Justification for reduction of margin:

1. The Company is banking with us since last 20 years and present performance of the company is quite satisfactory.

2. The BG limit was last sanctioned in 1991, for Rs.2.00 lacs against Cash Margin of 25% cash margin. In the present context, that is immaterial while assessment of BG limit in present scenario.

3. We are the Sole bankers of the company. As per decision of BIFR No. 987/99 dtd. 22.09.09, Bank of Baroda, has been designated as the monitoring agency and to sanction the need based working capital as part of rehabilitation package.

4. The security coverage is 103.60%

Based on the above facts we propose for sanction of BG limit, with 10% cash margin in the form of FDR.

3.3 Any other matter which in the opinion of Branch / Zone is important to decide the proposal: NIL

SECTION III- INDUSTRY PERCEPTION

1.0. INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS SCENARIO PERCEPTION:

The consumption of gases is increasing. The Liquid Oxygen is mainly used by steel plants and other refractories as a part of the fuel for combustion.

In the manufacturing sector, the entrepreneur has to be very keen on technology. Plants with old technology won't be viable. Only units with modern technology, in which power consumption is less, sufficient finance, and managerial acumen can survive.

The future of the industry is quite bright, since the overall industrial activities are developing throughout the world and as per reports published in the financial newspapers, the period of recession is over.

2.0. STRENGTH, WEAKNESS, OPPORTUNITY & THREATS ANALYSIS:

Strength:

The company has taken up aggressive marketing strategy to increase its turnover. It has entered into strategic tie up with Steel Authority of India Ltd for supply of finished products for long term basis. Stock turnover period and Debtors Collection period of the company is considered better as compared to other industries. The company does not envisage any sudden shortage in working capital despite of increased sales. Directors are having long experience in the related field and have the ability to steer the company through difficult situations.

Weakness:

The company’s past losses have been continuously eroding its Net worth. However with the company posting a profit of Rs.11.52 lacs for the year-ended 31.03.2008, this trend seems to be reversing.

Mitigation: The Company is now making the net profits and net worth position of the company is improving.

Opportunity:

The activity of the company is not very common and there are few major players in the related field. Strategic tie up with major companies for long-term assured off take keeps the company ahead of others. The company enjoys a competitive edge over others in terms of use of modern imported machineries.

Threats:

New major players are entering into the related field are posing stiff competition to the company. However, the company is continuously changing their strategy / plans in order to maintain their supremacy in the market.

Mitigation: The company is to reap the benefits of its past contacts and experience of its directors to overcome the threat due to competition.

4.0) BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY:

M/S Ram Company is a registered partnership Firm formed on 11.11.08. The firm proposes to set up a tea manufacturing factory at Jorhat in Assam with an annual production capacity of 700000 kgs. per annum. The firm has already purchased land admeasuring 10 bighas 8 lochas at Holongapara Mouza, Teok at a distance of 10 km from Jorhat town in the names of the partners for setting up the factory. The land is located in the quality green leaf growing areas of Assam.

The firm neither own any tea garden nor proposes to acquire any in the near future. The factory is proposed to be run on bought leaf operation basis, i.e. by buying green leaf from the nearby tea gardens for processing.

The partners are well experienced in Tea plantation and manufacturing as they are associated with their sister concerns which have an aggregate production capacity of 1.4 mn kgs of tea in Doorz area of W.Bengal.

The total project cost for setting up the factory is estimated at Rs.480.50 lacs and the promoters’ contribution has been proposed at Rs.323 lacs which is about 67% of the project cost.

Cost of Project:

The firm has estimated a total cost of Rs.480.50 lacs for setting up the factory at Jorhat, Assam and the details of the project cost are furnished as under:

(Rs. In lacs)

The promoters are agreeable to bring their contribution for the project upfront. An amount of Rs.30.50 lacs has already been invested by the promoters for acquiring the land and its development.

Raw materials:

The firm does not have any tea garden of it’s own. However, their associate concern Doorz Plantations & Industries Ltd. owns a tea garden viz.Patkapara Tea Estate at Alipurduar in the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal.

The firm has proposed to source its raw materials, i.e. green tea leaf from the nearby tea gardens located in the Jorhat district of Assam. The number of tea gardens in the Jorhat district is plenty. The firm has not entered into any agreement with any of the gardens for supply of green tea leaf but is confident that the entire requirement of their raw materials can be procured from the local plantations at prevailing market price.

Present Status of Project:

The firm has already acquired the land required for the project in the name of its partners. The area of the land is about 9 bighas, 4 cottahs & 18 lochas. Mutation has been completed. Necessary steps are being taken for conversion of the land for industrial use from its present status of agricultural land.

Licence for starting the factory has been obtained from the Chief Inspector of Factories, Assam.

Application has been submitted for Tea Board Licence under Tea (Marketing) Control Order, 2003 and the Licence is expected to be obtained shortly.

The firm has applied for DIC Registration/Enrolment certificate and the same is under process by the registering authorities.

7.0 JUSTIFICATIONS:

Term Loan:

Total project cost for setting up the tea factory with a production capacity of 7 lacs kgs. of manufactured tea annually has been estimated at Rs.480.50 lacs. The financing arrangement has been proposed in the manner that promoters will bring in Rs.323 lacs and the remaining Rs.157.50 lacs will be financed through bank loan denoting a project debt-equity of 33:67 which is satisfactory.

The promoters are of satisfactory means and have proposed to bring in their contribution partly through capital and partly through unsecured loans.

The details of project cost have been estimated by the firm in-house. Since the project cost is only Rs.4.80 crs TEV study for the project has not been insisted upon.

The promoters have already purchased the land required for the project. An amount of Rs.30.50 lacs is stated to have already been invested by the promoters for buying the land and its developments. Different approvals required for the project are under process and expected to be obtained shortly. The Project is estimated to have a very short gestation period and is likely to be ready for commercial operation in April, 2010. As per the projections made by the firm, the project will earn net profit from the very first year of its operation.

The firm has proposed to repay the term loan in 20 quarterly instalments starting from quarter ending June’10 and interest on the loan to be paid on monthly basis as and when charged.

Average DSCR for the project based on the firm’s financial projections for the period upto 31.03.15 has been calculated at 2.98 with minimum of 2.42 and maximum of 3.67.

It may however, be noted that the firm neither has nor propose to have any tea garden of its own. It also does not propose to enter into any firm agreement/commitment with local gardens for supply of tealeaf to its factory. As such, the prevailing market forces may affect the supply and price of green leaf and consequently its financial performance. However, the promoters are experienced and according to them, production of green tea leaf in Jorhat District is plenty and no problem is expected to be faced by them for procurement of green tea leaf for its factory.

Considering the foregoing as also the fact that the present firm is an associate of DPIL, a valued constituent of our Brabourne Road Branch, we recommend for sanction of a Term Loan of Rs.157.50 lacs for setting up the proposed tea factory, for a door to door tenure of 5.5 years to be repaid in 20 quarterly instalments starting from quarter ending June, 2010 subject to the promoters bringing their entire contribution upfront.

Cash Credit:

The firm has submitted their projected cash budget for the first year of operation i.e. FY 2010-11 in respect of their revenue flows. The projections and the assumptions on the basis of which the cash budget has been projected appear to be acceptable. The peak deficit of Rs.222.39 lacs has been estimated during the month of October in FY11. The C/C limit requirement of the firm for FY11 has been arrived at Rs.160 lacs as per assessment furnished in Section II of the proposal. Accordingly, we recommend for sanctioning a cash credit limit to the maximum extent of Rs.160 lacs for a period of 12 months under the terms and conditions mentioned in the proposal/Annexure D.

Sales:

The factory is scheduled for commercial operations from Apr’10. Based on the assumption that the factory will reach full capacity utilisation even in the first year of operation, production of manufactured tea has been estimated at 7 lac kgs in FY11. Average selling price has been estimated at Rs.100 per kg in FY11 and accordingly sales projected at Rs.650 lacs for FY11.

Net Profit:

As per the projections, the firm will register net profit in the very first year of operation. An amount of Rs. 30.72 lacs has been estimated as net profit for FY11. The average cost of green leaf has been estimated at Rs.14.50 per kg during the first year i.e. FY11. Since the firm does not own any tea garden and will procure its entire requirement of green leaf from market, the profitability will depend largely on the availability of green leaf at the estimated prices from the local tea gardens.

Net Worth:

The partners will bring in capital of Rs.172.36 lacs and will also raise unsecured loans to the extent of Rs.150.64 lacs to meet the promoter’s contribution of Rs.323 lacs to set up the proposed factory. Promoter’s contribution is about 67% of the total project cost. TNW as on 31.03.11 has been projected at Rs.203.08 lacs without considering the unsecured loans as part of the capital. TNW is projected to increase gradually in the subsequent years with the retention of profit in the business.

Current Ratio:

Current ratio of the firm is projected at 1.69 as on 31.03.11 i.e., the first year-end of operation. Being a tea factory, the production is estimated to run from the month of April to the month of December and Jan to March during each year is not expected to have any production. The firm has projected its peak requirement of fund during the month of October. As per the projected B/Sheet submitted by the firm as on 31.10.10, the current ratio is calculated at 1.68. The current ratio is projected to improve further in the subsequent years with generation of profits and their retention in the business.

Debt Equity Ratio:

TOL/TNW ratio is projected at 2.00 as at the end of the first year of operation. If unsecured loans to be brought in by promoters and their friends and relatives are treated as quasi capital, the ratio will appear as 0.79 only as at 31.03.11. The ratio is projected to improve in the subsequent years with repayment of Term Loan as also due to improvement in TNW as a result of retained profit.

3.0 ASSESSMENT OF WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT:

The firm has submitted their projected cash budget for the first year of operation i.e. FY 2010-11 in respect of their revenue flows only. The projections and the assumptions on the basis of which the cash budget has been projected appear to be acceptable. The peak deficit of Rs.222.39 lacs has been estimated during the month of October in FY11. The C/C limit requirement of the firm for FY11 may be calculated as follows:

Peak deficit projected in cash budget for FY10-11 Rs. 222.39 lacs

Less, Margin for w.cap proposed to be brought in by the promoters*

62.50

Cash Credit Limit required 159.89

Limit recommended Rs.160.00 lacs

*peak deficit in the cash budget has been arrived at without showing the cash inflows in respect of the working capital margin to be brought in by the promoters as per the project details and hence the fund requirement reduced to that extent.

Margin as such, works out to about 28% and applying the same, month wise limit based on the cash budget submitted by the firm for FY2010-11 may be worked out as follows:

Accordingly, we recommend for a cash credit limit to the maximum extent of Rs.160 lacs. Drawings are however, to be regulated as per the monthly limits as mentioned above based on the cash budget submitted by the company, subject to availability of drawing powers.

Comments on inventory holding / creditors / debtors level / reasons for accepting large variance in inventory / creditors / debtors level

Inventory Holding:

Raw materials for the production i.e. green tea leaf are processed as soon as they are procured and as such, only finished goods have been shown in the projections. The firm has projected inventory holding at 47 days of purchases as on 31.03.11. However, inventory is supposed to be at a low level since there will be no manufacturing activity during Jan to March every year.

Debtors’ Holding:

The firm will sell its products partly through auction and partly through private sale. Holding of Debtors has been projected at 34 days of Sales as on 31.03.11.

Creditors’ Holding:

The firm has not projected any sundry creditors for purchases as it proposes to make all its purchases on cash basis.

The above mentioned levels of holding appears reasonable and may be accepted. We have however, based our assessment on the cash flow projections as this is a tea industry proposal.

3.1 REQUIREMENT OF OTHER FACILITIES:

Assessment of Term Loan:

Total project cost for setting up the tea factory has been estimated at Rs.480.50 lacs. The financing arrangement has been proposed in the manner that promoters will bring in Rs.323 lacs and the remaining Rs.157.50 lacs will be financed through bank loan denoting a project debt-equity of 33:67 which is satisfactory.

The details of project cost have been estimated by the firm in-house. Since the project cost is only Rs.4.80 crs TEV study for the project has not been insisted upon.

The promoters have already purchased the land required for the project. An amount of Rs.30.50 lacs is stated to have already been invested by the promoters for buying the land and its developments. Different approvals required for the project are under process and expected to be obtained shortly. The Project is estimated to have a very short gestation period and is likely to be ready for commercial operation in April, 2010.

Details of project cost and the requirement of bank finance are mentioned below:

(Rs. Ln lacs)

Particulars Amount

1. Land alongwith development cost 30.00

2. Construction of Building and other civil works 170.00

3. Plant & Machineries 169.00

4. Electrical equipments 25.00

5. Miscellaneous items 14.00

6. Margin for working capital * 62.50 *

7. Contingencies * 10.00 *

Total 480.50

Less, Promoters contribution proposed 323.00

Bank finance required 157.50

Term Loan recommended 157.50

*These items are not available for bank finance.

The firm has proposed to repay the term loan in 20 quarterly instalments starting from quarter ending June’10 and interest on the loan to be paid on monthly basis as and when charged.

Average DSCR for the project based on the firm’s financial projections for the period upto 31.03.15 has been calculated at 2.98 with minimum of 2.42 and maximum of 3.67.

Considering the above, we recommend for sanction of a Term Loan of Rs.157.50 lacs for a door to door tenure of 5.5 years to be repaid in 20 quarterly instalments starting from quarter ending June, 2010 subject to the promoters bringing their contribution upfront.

SECTION III - INDUSTRY PERCEPTION

INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS SCENARIO PERCEPTION:

Tea is the most popular non-intoxicating beverage in the world enjoyed by the rich and poor alike. Tea drinking was quite common in China as early as the 6th century B.C. For many

centuries, tea drinking remained confined to China, Japan and parts of Central Asia and China was the sole supplier of tea for a long period of time.

Western nations started importing tea from China only in the 17th century. Restrictions on trade with China, the subsequent opium wars and the competition for trade with China between

Britain and Holland led to the introduction of tea in other countries as well. The Dutch set up tea plantations in Indonesia (which was earlier a Dutch Colony).

Teas are classified into Darjeeling tea, Assam tea, Ceylon Tea, Chinese Tea, Kenyan Tea, etc. based on the area where the plants are grown. Teas are also classified based on the manufacturing process, into black, green or white depending on the colour of the liquor. Black teas can be further classified into orthodox or CTC (crush, tear, curl). Tea grades have a direct relationship with taste, flavour colour and price as per the following details. The super premium and premium grades are mainly of the orthodox variety and command a higher price. The medium and popular grades include the CTC variety. CTC teas offer approximately 550 cups

per kg. of tea compared to 250 cups per kg. in case of orthodox teas, and hence higher CTC tea production indirectly increases tea availability.

Tea is a traditional / habitual family drink & the consumption is proportional to the drinking habit. It is also considered as the welcome drink in many Asian countries.

Branding in the tea business is a means to assure product quality, package weight, aroma, and consistency. Branding also ensures consumer loyalty like any other consumable product.

Apart from increasing presence of existing products in the export markets, the promotion of value added products such as iced tea, flavoured teas, green teas and

organic teas etc. could enable producers to increase average realisations. Promoting the use of tea bags would result in sufficient supply for the domestic as well as export markets

over the medium to long term as tea bags consume 2 gm. of tea compared to 4-5 gm. under normal route.

As per the report at ET dated 13/09/2008; Duncan Goenka group, is giving a boost to its tea products with foray into premium segment and green tea category. The company is also in talks with the postal department to sell its products. The aim of talking to the postal department was a part of the company's plans to increase its distribution network by 25 per cent over the next one year. Besides, its retail outlets, Duncans sells its tea products through HPCL and BPCL

outlets. It also has an agreement with the Railways, which uses Duncan tea for its passengers. With the company foraying into the green tea segment, it is aiming for a bigger pie in the premium tea segment. M/s Duncans has currently around four per cent share (2.74 lakh tonne) of the total Indian domestic tea market.

As per the report at ET dated 23/08/2008; Tata Tea, which has transformed itself from a plantation to a beverage company, is looking at more strategic acquisitions, which provide

access to key customer segments and geographies. Currently Tata Tea owns 42 brands and operates in 45 countries and might consider manufacturing juices in future to expand its portfolio. Tata Tea is all set to build strong beverage brands for sustainability, address new emerging opportunities arising from changes in lifestyle through innovative products and

increase share of business in value-added high margin products like speciality, fruit and herbal teas to shore up revenues.

The country`s tea production in 2007 stood at 945 million kgs as compared to 956

million kgs in 2006. The decline in production was due to the delay in rainfall in Assam

and dry conditions in Kerala. In 2008, we estimate total tea production will be around

963 million kgs. We further expect tea production to touch around 989 million kgs in

2009 as the approximately 40,000 hectares undertaken for new plantings of bushes in

1998 would enter their peak productivity period during the year.

Indian tea exports are forecast to decline due to a fall in the exportable surplus – from

218 million kgs in 2006 exports are expected to fall to 156 million kgs in 2007. Lower

production and rupee appreciation were the other factors that resulted in a drop in

exports from India.

Taking into account the ongoing political crises in Kenya and the presence of droughtlike

conditions, Kenya expects its production to decline by 10 per cent to 335 million

kgs in 2008. As a result, traditional Kenyan export destinations like Pakistan and Egypt

are expected to turn to India to bridge their consumption requirements. This would

result in increased demand for Indian tea. With domestic consumption and exports

outstripping production in 2008, inventories will decline. Hence, we expect the tea

prices to increase by 5-7 per cent during the year.

Government policies

The tea industry is highly regulated and every aspect of the industry is influenced by

government policies, right from raw materials up to the end-product stage. The Tea

Act, 1953 governs the industry and regulates its distribution, planting area and prices;

the National Forest Policy and Land Ceiling Act restrict the availability of land for tea

cultivation, thus limiting production growth.

The Tea Board has undertaken various programmes to boost domestic tea

consumption promote exports and improve plantation yield. Indirectly support has also

been provided by levying a 100 per cent duty on imported tea. A Special Purpose Tea

Fund (SPTF) has been announced for the replantation and rejuvenation of old tea

bushes. Under this scheme, the government aims to replant and rejuvenate 14,000

hectares every year for 15 years. Nevertheless, it is reported that the Tea Board

received only a few applications under the scheme covering, as southern planters did

not participate in the scheme.

The Union Budget 2008-09 has also provided a grant of Rs 200 million to upgrade the

Tocklai Experimental Station at Jorhat, which will enable the industry to improve the

quality of tea.

Extent of competition

Based on their activities, domestic tea companies can be classified into planters,

planters-cum-traders and traders. Most large players were initially planters, who later

diversified into trading of tea in value-added form. Some players such as Hindustan

Lever Ltd are primarily traders who purchase tea at auctions and sell it in a valueadded

form. Strong competition exists among the 300 domestic packaged tea players, few of whom have national presence.

Regional players pose severe price competition to the organised sector during times of

low auction prices, but such players exit when prices firm up. In the export market, the

Indian tea industry faces intense competition from Sri Lanka and Kenya. Further, its

cost-competitiveness is lower than these countries, due to the relatively older tea

bushes and higher social costs associated with plantations.

As per the statement from ASCROM for sectoral deployment of industry wise credit as on 31.03.2008 the total exposure to Tea-Coffee Industry is Rs.21.44Cr out of which credit outstanding of Rs.21.37Cr is classified as standard while balance amount of Rs.0.07Cr is classified as NPA. Thus the ratio of NPAs to the

exposure to that industry (Rs 0.07Cr / Rs.21.44Cr) as on 31.03.2008 for Tea- Coffee Industry works out at 0.33% at our Bank.

From the above data; it may be noted that our Bank has accumulated substantial number of doubtful units in Tea sector indicating our experience as non-satisfactory as regards tea sector finance.

2.0 STRENGTH, WEAKNESS, OPPORTUNITY & THREATS:

STRENGTH Promoters are experienced in tea manufacturing activity. Proposed Debt Equity ratio for the project is satisfactory. Location of the project is in the major tea producing area of Assam.

WEAKNESS The firm does not own any tea garden and as such, totally dependent on nearby

gardens for supply of green leaf which may affect its operations and profitability in a difficult situation.

Tea is a cyclical industry and is susceptible to vagaries of nature.

OPPORTUNITY

Tea is a traditional family drink and its consumption is widespread around the globe.

THREAT Indian tea faces stiff competition from Sri Lanka and Kenya where the cost of

production is low. Shrinkage of export market may increase the supply in domestic market and

consequently may bring down the selling prices in the domestic market.

CREDIT RATING METHODOLOGYThe New CRISIL Rating Models for Commercial Advances are based on two dimensionalrating methodology specified under Basel -II Accord requirements. The credit risk ratingprocess as per New CRISIL Rating Models involves three types of ratings for each creditfacility viz. 1) Obligor ( Borrower) Rating - for credit worthiness indicating the Probability

of Default (PD), 2) Facility Rating - representing the Loss Given Default (LGD) and 3)Composite Rating - which is indicative of the Expected Loss (EL).

The risk rating flow chart under CRISIL NEW rating models is as under:

OBLIGOR (BORROWER) RATINGThe obligor (Borrower) rating is indicative of creditworthiness of an obligor or the Probability of Default (PD) and it is based on the assessment of past and projected cash flows of the company.

Composite rating

Facility Risk Rating (indicator ofLoss Given Default i.e. LGD)

Evaluation of Riskiness ofFacility

Project Risk Rating1. Project Implementation2. Post Implementation

Project Implementation Risk1.Construction Risk2. Funding Risk

Post Project Implementation1. Industry Risk2. Business Risk3. Financial Risk4. Management Risk

For assessment of an obligor, the rating structure consists of evaluation by way of fourmodules viz. 1) Industry Risk, 2) Business Risk, 3) Financial Risk and 4) ManagementQuality.Industry Risk: The assessment of this module which is external to the Borrower and isdone by assessment of Industry related macro economic parameters like demand supply gap / capacity utilisation level / financial ratios like ROCE / OPM etc. applicable to the specific Industry and having different risk weights.Business Risk: The assessment of this module is based on internal working of theBorrower and relates to parameters such as after sales service, distribution set up, capacity utilisation etc. The parameters, which are only relevant to a particular industry, are selected for scoring having different risk weights.Financial Risk: The assessment of this module is based on Internal working of theBorrower and relates to parameters such as past (not in case of a green field / infrastructure company under implementation stage) and projected financials. The CMA based data input sheet is uploaded into the software and the same allows computation of financial rating automatically based on the computation of financial ratios like Net Profit Margin, Current Ratio, DSCR, Interest Coverage etc.Management Quality: The assessment of this module is based on internal working of the Borrower’s management and relates to parameters such as past repayment record, quality of information submitted, group support etc.

Obligor (Borrower) Rating Grades:Obligor Rating Grades range from BOB-1 to BOB-10. However depending upon the model used, the rating grades ranging from BOB-1 to BOB-10 or BOB-3 to BOB-10 or BOB-6 to BOB -10 are generated as follows:

Sr.No Model Obligor (Borrower) Obligor (Borrower)Rating Grades

Rating Grades1.a) For Borrowers under Large Corporate (Mfg BOB-1 to BOB-10 /Services), Banks, NBFCs and Broker categories.

b) For Borrowers under Infrastructure project having operations phase or expansion / diversification projects categories.

2. a) For Borrowers under SME (Manufacturing) and SME BOB-3 to BOB-10(Services) categories.b) For Existing and New Borrowers under Trader Category. 3. Green Field Project Borrowers under Large Corporate (Mfg / services ) - BOB - 6 to BOB-10 with project.SME (Mfg./ Services)- with project andInfrastructure (Power/ Port/ Road/ Telecom)-BuildPhase categories.

FACILITY RATINGFacility Rating involves assessment of the security coverage for a given facility andindicates the Loss Given Default (LGD) for a particular facility. Facilities proposed/sanctioned to a company are assessed separately under this dimension of rating.Facility Rating (FR) Grades:Facility Rating grades range from FR-1 to FR-8. The definitions for various facility ratinggrades have been stated in ANNEXURE – IB.VII. COMPOSITE RATINGThe Composite Rating (CR) – which is the matrix or the combination of PD and LGD;indicates the Expected Loss in case the facility is defaulted. The Composite Rating is worked out automatically by the software based on the matrix of Obligor (Borrower) Grade (BOB Rating) and Facility Rating Grade (FR) as per details stated in ANNEXURE I.Composite Rating Grades:Composite rating grade ranges from CR-1 to CR-10. VIII. CUT- OFF GRADE FOR ACCEPTANCEBank has accepted BOB-6 as the cut-off point for the acceptance of an obligor (borrower)based on Obligor (Borrower) rating carried out as per the applicable model.The rating models have been grouped in three categories for the purpose of specifying cutoffpoint for the acceptance of an obligor (borrower) as per details mentioned hereunder:A) Borrowers / Obligors eligible for rating under LCM (Manufacturing / Services),Banks, NBFCs, Broker Models, Infrastructure project under operations phase(having started cash generation) and expansion / diversification projects in caseof existing borrowers:The past financial data for these categories of borrowers is usually available. Theacceptance grade for these borrowers can be any grade from BOB-1 to BOB-6. BOB-6having the score range of above 4.25 to 5.00 out of total 10.00 for these categories ofborrowers.B) For Borrowers / Obligors eligible for rating under SME (Manufacturing) / SME(Services) and Traders Models in case of existing borrowers:The past financial data for these categories of borrowers are usually available. Theacceptance grade for these borrowers can be any grade ranging from BOB-3 to BOB-6.BOB-6 is having the score range of above 5.00 to 5.75 out of total 10.00 for thesecategories of borrowers.It may be noted that for these category of borrowers, the highest creditworthiness grade works out to be BOB -3.

Obligors (Borrowers) with New Projects eligible for rating under Infrastructure(Build Phase) / and Green Field Projects (LCM / SME):

The past financial performance data in respect of these categories of borrowers are NOT available and only future projections are available. These Borrowers are initially rated under the Project Risk Rating and assigned rating grades from BOBPR -1 to BOBPR –5 and subsequently converted into common obligor (Borrower) rating grade from BOB-6 to BOB –10 automatically. Thus, BOBPR –1 is equivalent to BOB-6 and BOBPR-5 is equivalent toBOB -10. In other words, BOBPR-1 under project rating is the only investment grade being equivalent to obligor / Borrower rating scale of BOB –6. Applicable scenario for these categories of Borrowers are as under:

PRICINGThe composite Rating or the Combined Rating (CR-1 to CR-10) is computed on the basis of matrix of Obligor Rating for credit worthiness and the Facility Rating representing the expected loss in case of default. This loss has to be recovered from the borrower by way of risk premium over the BPLR.

STEPS INVOLVED IN CARRYING OUT THE CREDIT RATING OF COMMERCIALADVANCES:Step 1: Selection of Appropriate ModelBased on the criteria narrated in the table at Para 2 above, the applicable model is to beselected for rating exercise.Step 2: Data Sheet Preparation (off-line mode)Having selected one of the applicable models for the rating purpose, only the prescribedCMA data based input sheet and / or project profitability data input sheet downloaded fromBank’s INTRANET or provided through Compact Disc (CD) during the training is to be used.This sheet is to be filled in by the credit officers in the off-line mode after due diligence ofthe CMA / Project financials etc by the appropriate authority, for that particular borrower.Please note that only the prescribed data input sheet has to be used for the purpose of dataentry and subsequent uploading during the rating process. Any other data input sheetexcept the one as stated above is not suitable for uploading during the rating process.Step 3: Rating Exercise1. The server is available on INTERNET site with the IP address:http://61.14.42.65/crisilram.2. Use the login name and password allotted by the IT Officer / Risk Officer at RegionalOffice / Zonal office to enter the rating pages as explained at Para XV –(a).3. Detailed methodology for the rating process has been released by way of circularNo. BCC/RM/CRC/98/12 dated 01/03/2006. The said circular also contains themanual for operating instructions (OMRAM06) – a PDF file. A hard copy of the abovestated operating manual, which contains step-by-step instructions for carrying out therating process, may be kept at the branch / regional / zonal office as a referencebooklet for the rating process.4. A credit officer is supposed to have done prior study of company’s operations andshould have analysed rating parameters which are to be rated / scored for thatparticular company under different modules. Prior study is essential, as the allottedscore for a particular parameter has to be supported with proper justification at thespace provided for the said purpose on the computer screen..5. Other data input requirements for rating of different modules under obligor rating isalready made available as under:_ Rating of Industry Risk Score (except for SME / trading) – The credit ratingofficer has to select the relevant industry sub sector at the activity page duringthe rating process. Industry Risk score for all applicable parameters arealready uploaded on the server for all –118- industry sub sectors and thesame is automatically filled in for the selected industry sub sector at the

industry risk module during the rating process. The credit risk rating officer orthe validator will not be able to change the industry risk score._ Rating of Industry Risk Score (for SME / trading) – The credit Rating officerhas to carry out the rating of all parameters after selecting the dependentindustry and the risk scores under various parameters are not made availableas in the case of other models._ Financial Risk Assessment: Data sheet for that particular borrower (referstep 2 above) is to be uploaded at appropriate prompt (Please refer theOMRAM06 which is a step-by-step guide for this process). While most of theparameters are scored automatically, only certain subjective parameters likecomments on Obligor’s (Borrower’s) ability to raise debt / equity etc. arerequired to be scored with proper justification._ Business Risk / Management Quality Risk assessment: Necessaryinformation / data input required by way of Industry Profiles/ Updates etc. isalready circulated as well as uploaded on INTRANET at the RiskManagement page. Please note that only the parameters relevant to theindustry of operations of the Obligor (Borrower) are automatically madeavailable for scoring. The other subjective parameters are required to bescored by credit officer with proper justification. Please refer the relevantModel booklet for explanation on all types of parameters under four modulesfor scoring). Step 4: Facility Rating:After completing the obligor rating as above, facility rating is to be carried out.For this purpose, the security value is to be appropriated first against therespective facilities and thereafter the excess security over the outstandingamount of facility enjoyed is to be worked out. This excess security isdistributed over the remaining facilities in proportion to the availment. Thismethodology is explained at with the help of two cases viz. 1.Review of existing facilities (sole Banking), 2. Review with increase / additionalfacilities (sole Banking).The Limit amount of each of the facilities considered / under consideration andthe amount of securities, existing/ proposed, are to be worked out by abovestated method by allocation of excess security and then filled in at appropriatepages during the facility rating process as the case may be. After filling up thedata as stated above the facility rating, separate for each facility, isautomatically worked out by the system.Step 5: Composite Rating (CR Rating):This rating is automatically worked out, once the obligor rating and the facilityrating are in place.With the completion of above five steps, the credit risk rating process is over.Step 6: Submission of the credit rating to the Validator:The credit rating officer is required to comply with the following steps:1. Get -2- hard copy print outs of the “Interim Company Report” from the reportssection in the on-line mode. The relevant PDF file for “Interim CompanyReport” has also to be saved in the system by the credit rating officer on hiscomputer for any reference.

2. One copy of the above stated “Interim Company Report” is to be sent to theappropriate validator (Refer point No.1 of step –7). A credit officer has also tosubmit the hard copies of the financial data (audited or provisional) along withthe relevant records, which have been used during the risk rating process tothe validator for further processing. The second copy of the “Interim CompanyReport” has to be kept by the credit rating officer for records.3. Credit risk rating done on software has to be submitted online to the validator(located at the office of sanctioning authority) for further processing4. Whenever a proposal for certain credit facilities is submitted to the sanctioningauthority, one hard copy of the latest validated ‘Interim Company Report’received from the validator is required to be sent to the sanctioning authority.Step 7: ValidationThe validator is required to comply with the following steps:1. The validator is required to validate the credit risk rating based on the financialdata (audited or provisional) & other relevant records, which have been usedduring the credit risk rating process by the rating officer. However, all proposalsfalling under the powers of branch Manager are to be validated at Regional OfficeLevel or the reporting authority level as the case may be.2. After due validation, the validator is required to take out -3- hard copy print outs ofthe ‘Interim Company Report’ and send one copy to the credit rating officer, theother copy to the sanctioning authority and the third copy may be kept on records.3. Validator is required to submit the validated credit rating to the appropriatesanctioning authority through the system.With the completion of seven steps as described above, the credit risk rating andvalidation process stands completed.Step 8: Submission of Validated Credit Risk Rating Report and other MIS Reports tothe Sanctioning AuthorityThe sanctioning authority has no role during the process of credit risk rating as alsoduring the process of validation.After the completion of validation process, the concerned credit officer at the office ofsanctioning authority will receive a hard copy of the validated rating from thevalidator as also a soft copy through the system. A copy of the validated rating reportis to be attached to the proposal.The following reports could also be generated through the system.1. Company Comparison Report2. Financial Reports (All Labels) viz. CMA financials, Project Financials, Ratios3. MIS reports like ASCROM Industry wise, Borrower group wise etc. as desiredby the authority.4. Strengths & Weaknesses ReportThe print out of the above reports may be taken if needed.XVIII. Effective date Of Implementation:1. The use of –11- no. of New (CRISIL) rating models for the rating of commercialadvances (existing and New) from Rs.25 Lacs and above (FB + NFB) has beendecided to commence with the assessment of credit risk rating based on auditedfinancials as on 31st March 2006 onwards.

2. The use of existing two models (viz. Smaller and Comprehensive) of M/s AAIPL isnow discontinued. All single party commercial exposures below Rs.25 Lacs willcontinue to be rated under Old (Scoring Card) type model as per the existingguidelines.3. The credit risk rating of all commercial advance accounts from Rs.25 Lacs andabove (FB + NFB) will have to be carried out annually / bi-annually (for exposuresabove Rs.5 Cr) as per the extant guidelines using the New (CRISIL) models.4. The first of such exercises would be based on the audited balance sheet data as on31/03/2006.5. Branches are advised to note that all commercial advance accounts with anexposure of Rs.5 Crore and above (FB + NFB) are to be rated and validated usingthe New (CRISIL) Model (on the basis of financial statements for the FY ended31.03.2006) before 31/03/2007 and all commercial advance accounts with anexposure of Rs.25 Lacs and above (FB + NFB) have to be rated and validatedusing the New (CRISIL) Model before 30/06/2007 (on the basis of financialstatements for the FY ended 31.03.2006), even if the same account have been ratedand validated by using the AAIPL Models.

Facility Risk Rating is based on the Basel approach for the calculation of LossGiven Default (LGD). The final Facility Rating Grade is assigned on the basis ofthe % Effective LGD for each facility.The facility risk-rating model allows the incorporation of details with respect to thefacility for individual transaction and calculates a score based on the securityassessment.The details to be incorporated at the relevant screen during facility risk rating are asfollows: -Case No.1: Review of existing facilities (sole Banking)Consider that a company is enjoying various credit facilities sanctioned byappropriate authority with security taken against each facility with a proviso to chargeexcess security, if any to secure other facilities as follows:

PHASE -3 Under this phase a survey was conducted to find out the requirements of SME’s and what are their expectations from bank. A survey of around 50 Small and Medium Enterprises was done in Kolkata. And the result showed that in Kolkata still public banks have an edge over the private banks. Public banks like Bank Of Baroda are still considered reliable and trustworthy as compared to the private banks.

The reasons can be public banks offer a lower rate of interest as compared to the private banks and they have government in support of them so in case of any financial distress there are hardly any chances of any loses.

The main objective of the survey was to find out what does SME’s prefers Private Banks or Public Banks. What factors do these companies takes into consideration while asking for a loan. Who meets their requirement better? Which bank offers a lower rate of interest? Whom these small companies trust as reliable banks?

Type of business.

This is an important task to know in wnich business a firm in dealing in for example a firm dealing in plant and machinery business will require a lot of funds as compared to a manufacturing business and also it is important to kniow whether the firm is privately owned, or it is a partner ship firm, or it is a sole proprietorship or a H.U.F. according to the survey 20 put of the 50 companies were sole proprietorship(i.e 40%). The reason for this is there were many tiny industries which requires small capital for starting up of a business.

Private Ltd 6

Partnership business 12

Sole proprietorship 20

H.U.F 7

Out the 50 companies surveyed a majority of them were sole proprietorship firms second to Partnership firms. Almost 40% of the compapnies were sole proprietorship

Credit facilities provided by the bank

This is one of the most important factor that a company looks for while going for a loan . However the survey showed that most of the SME’s were goin for the term loan facilities provided by the bank and along with the cash credit facilities which most of the banks offer. It is often seen that companies ask for a long term source of finance in form of a term loan.

credit facilities provided by the bank

overdraft 13

cash credit 15

term loan 19

others 3

Out of the 50 companies surveyed a majority of companies said that they opt for term loan as compared to any other service provided by the bank. The second preference was given to cash credit facility provided by the bank.

Export and Import facilities provided by the bank.

Since with the growing up of the economy SME’s are encouraged to do more and more of exports. Banks are given guidelines by the RBI to promote export of these SME’s, so the export and import facilities provided by banks to the banks not strict and any company can easily avail the facilties provided by the banks like letter of credit, bank guarantee, bill discount etc.

However the survey showed that the letter of credit are the main facility used by banks these days. A major portion of the companies surveyed uses letter of credit as an effective means of

trade.

Nature of collateral securities provided

The collateral securities provided by the companies in exchange for the loan or the financing provided by the banks. These collaterals maily includes commercial properties of the person seeking loan in addition to the commercial properties the banks often go for the residential properties of the company owner.

CONCLUSION

RECOMMENDATION

Proposals in BOB SMELF ,Kolkata comes from branch ,and half of the information is missing and hence it takes lot of time by SMELF officers to gather information from client and branch office. Information should be provided on time in order to increase the speed of sanctioning and also proper training on credit should be given to branch employee’s

In SMELF,Kolkata there is a huge drawback of shortage of labour .There is a huge gap between number of proposals and manpower .Hence should increase the manpower.

Among the proposals received by SMELF,Kolkata most of them are of trading rather than SME,hence more advertisement should be done by SMELF,BOB.

In branch we have 4i post and review where as in SMELF we have 6i processing,review,sanctioning hence is a lengthy process .Due to overburden mistakes can be done.Hence the pocess of appraisal should be shortened and repeatation should be decreased.

Maximum SME are found in rural area and still people in rural area depend on illegal money lenders for loan and pay a huge amount of interest.Hence awareness must be created about SMELF in rural area.This would benefit in two way as it will increase the profit of SMELF, BoB as maximum business will be obtained from there and will also prevent protect people from greedy money lenders..
