PREFACE
Banks are regarded as the blood of the nation’s economy without them one cannot
imagine economy moving. Therefore banks should be operated very efficiently, co-
operative banks although a small part of whole banking system in India, but they are very
important not only from economical point of view but also from social point of view as it
is more concerned about common people’s welfare and development.
Advance is heart and recovery is oxygen for the bank and for the bank to survive it is
necessary to give advances and recover the amount at the appropriate time. Through
credit management I have tried to cover the various aspects like credit appraisal, NPA
management, recovery management, etc. E.g. credit management covers all the areas
right form the beginning like inquiry till the loan has been paid up.
Though credit management, a very vast topic, I have tried to incorporate to the best of my
capacity from all possible aspects in this project.
I do hope that institution will appreciate this project.
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
Banking is the activity of my interest. I have seen from the annual reports of the various
banks and find that most of their income is from the interest getting on the credit given so
I choose and hence I studied on credit management.
Game of statistics is always attracts me and banking is one the place where we can learn
it very well. So I have selected bank and have preferred “credit management” as topic for
my project.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
There are many methods, which are well known today for research methodology, out of
which one I have chosen is “sampling method”, which is really easier, still producing
accurate results.
Sampling in laymen’s language, is nothing but selecting pockets or samples representing
the whole group and analysis of these samples gives the idea about the respective groups.
On the basis of this, prediction is done and full information about group is integrated.
Though this is not a first hand method, it gives sufficiently good outcomes if used
carefully by experts. It saves the time and energy. The only care should be taken, in order
to have great accuracy, is selection of sample should be such that it should represent the
whole group and information we get from them should be cent percent reliable.

INTRODUCTION
EARLY HISTORY OF BANKING
As early as 2000 B.C., the Babylonians has developed a banking system. There is
evidence to show the temples of Babylon were used as banks. After a period of time,
there was a spread of irreligion, which soon destroyed the public sense of security in
depositing money and valuable in temples. The priests were longer acting as financial 45
agents. The Romans did minute regulations, as to conduct private banking and to create
confidence in it. Loan banks were also common in Rome. From these the poor citizens
received loans without paying interest, against security of land for 3 or 4 years.
During the early periods, although private individuals mostly did the banking business,
many countries established public banks either for the purpose of facilitating commerce
or to serve the government.
However, upon the revival of civilization, growing necessity forced the issued in the
middle of the 12th century and banks were established at Venice and Genoa. The Bank of
Venice established in 1157 is supposed to be the most ancient bank. Originally, it was not
a bank in the modern sense, during simply an office for the transfer of the public debt.
Again the origin of modern banking may be traced to the money dealers in Florence, who
received money on deposit, and were lenders of money in the 14th century and also in
1349, the business of banking was carried on by drapers of Barcelona.
In India, as early as the Vedic Period, banking, in most crude from existed. The books of
Manu contain references regarding deposits, pledges, policy of loans, and rate of interest.
True, the banking in those days largely mint money lending and they did not know the
complicated mechanism of modern banking.
This is true not only in the case of India but also of other countries. Although, the
business of banking is as old as authentic history, banking institutions have since than
changed in character and content very much. They have developed from a few simple
operation involving the satisfaction of a few individual wants to the complicated
mechanism of modern banking, involving the satisfaction of capital slowly seeking
employment and thus providing the very life blood of commerce.
The word ‘Bank’ itself derived from the word ‘bancus’ or ‘banque’ that is a French.
There were others of the opinion that the word ‘Bank’ is originally derived from the
German word ‘back’ meaning joint for which was Italianised into ‘banco’.
STATUS WISE BIFURCATION OF BANKS
Scheduled Banks.
Non-Scheduled Banks.
Scheduled Banks
In first schedule, Government of India notifies the Primary Banks, which are licensed and
whose demand and time liability are not less than 50 crores in 1987.
Government of India notifies the Primary banks, which are licensed and whose demand
and time liability are not less than 100 crores can only qualify to be included in the
second schedule since 1993.
A bank becomes scheduled when it fulfils the followings:
‘A’ grade rating from RBI
Demand and Time Liability over 100 Crores
Satisfy the RBI guidelines related to CRR and SLR
As per the norms Priority Sector wise lending
Benefits of Being a Scheduled co-operative are described below:
RBI would provide Rediscounting facility at nominal rate
RBI gives remittance facility at par
The demerit of being a scheduled co-operative bank is that the bank will not get 0.5%
subsidy from RBI.
The conferment of scheduled status on the banks has certain advantages like refinance
facility, directly industrial finance from Reserve Bank of India, avail of Reserve Bank of
India Remittance facility scheme, accept deposits from local bodies, quasi-government
organization, religious, and charitable institutions, guarantees and cheques issued by
Banks are accepted by Government Departments. At the same time, it casts greater
responsibility on the banks in the maintenance of books of accounts and submission of
returns.
Non-Scheduled Bank
The banks, which are not applicable as per the criteria of Scheduled Banks, are called as a
Non-scheduled Banks. These are very small banks.
TYPES OF BANKS
Regional Rural Bank
Nationalize Bank
State Bank Group
Co-operative Bank
Private Bank
Foreign Bank
Nationalize Banks
The Banking Company Act establishes it in July 1969 by nationalization of 14 major
banks of India. The sent percent ownership of the bank is of government of India.
Foreign Banks
Foreign Bank means multi-countries bank. In case of India Foreign Banks are such
Banks, which open its branch office in India and their head office is outside of India.
Co-operative Banks
State Co-operative Banks
State Co-operative Bank means the principal Co-operative society in the state. The
primary objective of which is the financing other co-operative societies in the state.
Bank has recently started five new credit products for customers:
Owned deposit
Deposits
Borrowings
Others
Owned deposit
The owned funds consisting of paid capital of the bank, reserve fund, and other reserves.
Deposits
It is sum of current deposits, fixed deposits, saving deposits, special saving deposits, NRI
deposits, inoperative deposits, etc. It is the main Cash Inflow for any institution.
Borrowings
The borrowed funds consisting of borrowings from other banks (as per some writer
deposits of various types is also part of borrowed funds), debentures offered to public,
etc.
Others
Increase in current liabilities, reduction in debtors, fund from operations like net income,
depreciation, and reserves, less payment to creditors, reduction in advances, reduction in
inventories, reduction in cash, sold marketable securities, etc.
MAIN FUND OUTFLOW (FUNDS USED)
Others
Purchase of fixed assets, purchase of marketable securities, addition to advances, addition
to inventories, payment to creditors, payment of dividend, etc..
Meaning of CREDIT
The word ‘credit’ is actually derived from the Latin word ‘Credere’. ‘Credere’ means to
have trust or faith. Thus ‘credit’ is directly related with trust. That is why State Ford
stated that ‘Credit is nothing more than that of trust’. By this we can say that credit is a
tool that is resulted by the complete mutual trust/faith.
‘Credit creation implies a situation when a bank may receive interest simply by
permitting customer to overdraw their accounts or by purchasing securities and paying
for them its own cheque or bank may pay amount to borrower or directly to seller of
goods whom against borrower get amount’.
CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Credit management means the total process of lending start from inquiry from potential
borrower to recover the lending amount from borrower. Whenever my study is concern,
credit management in sense of banking sector is the set of activities like Except
application, loan appraisal, Shakh posting, monitoring, recovery, NPA management, etc.
FORMS OF CREDIT/ADVANCES
Loan/term loan
In case of a loan a specified amount is sanctioned by the banker to the customer, who
may either draw the amount in case immediately or may like the amount to be credited to
his current account. But legally it is presumed that he has withdrawn the amount from the
bank and deposited it in his current account. He is required to pay interest on the full
amount from the date of sanction. A loan may be repayable in installments or in lump
sum.
Cash credit
Cash credit is the main method of lending in India and accounts for above 70% of total
bank credit. Under the system, the banker specifies the limit, called the cash credit limit
for each customer, up to which the customer is permitted to borrower against the security
of tangible assets or guarantees. The customer withdraws from his cash credit account as
and when requires the funds and deposits any amount of money, which he finds surplus
with him on any day. The cash credit amount is thus an active and running account to
which deposits and withdrawals may be affected frequently. The customer is required to
provide tangible assets as security to cover the amount borrowed from the banker. The
borrower is charged interest on the actual amount utilized by borrower and for the period
actually utilized only.
Overdrafts
When a current amount holder is permitted by the banker to draw more than what stands
to his credit, such an advance is called an overdraft. The banker may take some collateral
security or may grant such advance on the personal security of the borrower. The
customer is permitted to withdraw the amount as and when he needs it and to repay it by
means of deposit in his account as and when it is feasible for him. Interest is charged on
the exact amount overdrawn by the customer and for the period of its actual utilization
Bills Purchase
The Banker credits customer’s account with the amount of the bill after deduction his
charges. As the demand bills are repayable on demand and there is no maturity, the
banker is entitled to demand their payment immediately on presentation before of
drawee. Their practice adopted in the case of demand bills, is known as purchase of the
bills.
Bills Discount
In case of bills discounting, a bank credits the amount of the bill to the drawer’s account
before the realization of the bill and thus lends its funds to him after deduction his
charges. The bills purchased and bills discounted by a bank are, therefore, shown in its
balance sheet as part of loans and advances. In case of a bill maturing after a period of
time maximum for 180 days in RNSB, the banker retains the bill for that period and
realizes the amount of bill from the drawee on its due date. This practice is called
discounting of the bill.
Bank Guarantee
It is a contract to perform the promise or discharge the liability of a third person in case
of his default. In case of guarantee, Bank is taking responsibility to pay the amount to
seller if buyer will not pay amount in time.

The information furnished in the application covers, inter alias, the following: name and
address of the borrower and his establishment, the details of borrower’s business, the
nature and amount of security offered. The application form has to be supported by
various ancillary statements like the financial statements and financial projections of the
firm. A separate inquiry department is set under the loan department. Here, different
types of application forms are available and collect process charge from borrower;
application is accepted and entered into computer.
Shakh report
This is one of the strangest facility of RNSB compare with other co-operative banks in
Rajkot district because of its computerization. This facility provides bank to total
‘kundali’ of the borrower related to dealing with bank not only as a borrower but also as
partner, as a director also as a guarantor and same detail of the guarantor also and also
about all the types of loans, which are already paid up, which are overdue, which are
running and also about past performance of particular.
Advocate report
Bank through its legal department’s staff in two matters prepares advocate report mostly,
which are given below:
In case of land and building loan
Before equitable of immovable property as a security
When the bank prepares advocate report, bank charges some amount from borrower.
*Agreement letter is in case of vehicle loan, security loan, bills purchase, bills
discounting, guarantee, education loan, etc.
Make/sign document
This application is now in the document department, document department take signature
of loanee and guarantors in specimen card and also on the sanction letter to seat beside
and verify all the documents. Types of documents are discussed in each type of loan
separately. This process is last for borrower, after this loan is sanctioned. No formality is
remaining at the borrower side.
Open account
Now loan is sanctioned, all formalities are completed. So bank is giving your amount of
loan either by credited in your account or pay the amount to the party, whose quotation is
provided by borrower to bank. Bank opens your account with himself to get the actual
transaction between bank and borrower.
Insurance posting
It is must for loanee to insure the property or equipment, which is hypothecated with the
bank against loan as a security. This policy is assigned in favor of bank, which is also
required. In case of immovable property or new purchase of machinery, equipment, etc.
insurance of same amount and in case of old machinery, goods stock, etc. twice of the
price insurance is needed. In case of education loan, the life insurance of student is
required. Shakh department is posting it in borrower’s account.
Liquidity
Bank has to find out that the borrower is quite capable in repaying the finance within
reasonable period.
Purpose
The purpose for the finance should not be illegal. It should be creative, service oriented,
development oriented, and like. Banks should check end use of funds.
Profitability
If the project or the purpose of the finance is not profitable in the hands of the borrower
than he will not be in a position of repaying the amount to bank. It should be profitable
enough to generate the income to satisfy his needs and bank’s dues.
Security
The bank has to take into consideration the character, capacity, and capital of the
prospective borrower. Bigger advances and cash credit are to be secured with collateral
security over and above prime security.
Spread of advances
For having balanced economy the bank should choose to spread the finance amongst
various sectors of the society, so that the risk of incoming bad advances is minimized.
Concentration on one type of advances may turn into bad advances if the scheme
becomes ineffective due to some natural calamities or government rules or change in
taste or demands of the society, by and large.

Rating of borrowers
RSNB has its own method of credit rating that is beneficial for both the bank and the
borrower. Because through this bank should maintain their customer who deal with bank
regularly and the borrower is appreciated for their performance. Another side borrower
gets benefit through interest rate reduction. This method is given below:
Term loans
In the account, interest and installments are paid regularly.
Notice is not given on account for any reason.
Amount of loan Interest concession
sanctioned
25,001 to 2,00,000 1%
2,00,001 to 10,00,000 1%
Above 10,00,000 2%
AA:
Cash credit account
In the account which interest is paid regularly; it is paid at the end of the every quarter
maximum 30 days.
Stock statement is received regularly
Overdraft is paid regularly with its interest.
Term loans
Maximum two installments are due but at the end of the year i.e. on 31st march, there is
no due installment.
Loan pricing
RSNB always give more interest on deposit than other bank in Rajkot district to attract
the market, effects the loan pricing. So loan rate of RSNB is higher. Though RSNB get
customer because of its services, its speedy process, practical approach, and its reliability
in market. But here one possibility is also that the payer of higher interest is sometime
reason for future loss or burden on bank. So try to get deposit at lower rate to reduce the
loan pricing. It is also fact that in this critical situation of co-operative banks, it is very
hard to get deposits from the market but if bank management tries to create trust in
public, here one more benefit is that the depositor and the borrower is the shareholder of
the bank or say owner of the bank. So it is less hard than other types of bank to create
trust.
Reporting format
Reporting format for excess utilization of lending process by branch manager is now not
needed, because as per the new guidelines of the RBI, branch of co-operative bank has no
power to sanction loan.

OBSERVATION AND FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
System of fixation of maximum time for loan sanction and sanction within limit
On paper, there is no maximum limit for sanction the loan but generally as per the
opinion of officer within ten days loan is sanctioned. Sometimes because of carelessness
of the borrower or take time for providing needed documents is reason for delay of
sanction the loan.
Sanction of loan
In the co-operative bank, sanctioning powers are only in the hands of board of directors
so sometime loans are sanctioned on the bases of relation, not on the base of the
deservedness of customer. I also consider that the cooperative banks are basically meant
for the benefit of its members but within the limits of Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines.
Slight modification in these rules for well being of members is still allowed.

REVIEW
CREDIT MONITORING, FOLLOW UP AND REVIEW
When we lend, it is essential for us that to keep watch on it till we recover it. This is
called credit monitoring in terms of banking.
Term loans
If interest or installment of principal remains past due for a period of any two quarters it
becomes NPA.
Past due means is an amount due under any of the facility but not paid within 30 days
after it becomes due.
The primary (urban) co-operative banks should classify their assets into the following
broad groups, viz.
Performing assets
Standard assets
Non-performing assets
Sub-standard assets
Doubtful assets
Loss assets
Non-performing assets
NPAs are loans given by a bank or financial institute where the borrower defaults or
delays payments of interest or repayment of principal. Asset here also includes a leased
asset. A NPA was defined a credit facility in respect of which interest and/or installment
of principal has remained ‘past due’ for a specified period of time. The specified period
in a phased manner is as under
Year ending If interest has remained unpaid, account become NPA
1993 4 quarters
1994 3 quarters
1995 onward 2 quarters
From 2004 1 quarters
Performing assets
Which accounts are not in performing are performing assets. Which accounts are regular
or cover due installments are less than six is called performing assets.
Classification Of Non-Performing Assets
After identification of borrowed accounts as NPA the next stage is asset classification
Standard assets
Standard Assets is one, which does not disclose any problems and which does not carry
more than normal risk attached to the business. Such as asset should not be an NPA.
Sub-standard assets
In case of sub-standard assets, the current net worth of the borrower/guarantors or the
current market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues
to the banks in full. In other words, such assets will have well defined credit weakness
that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility
that the banks will sustain some loss, if deficiencies are not corrected.
An asset where the terms of the loan agreement regarding interest and principal have
been re-negotiated or rescheduled after commencement of production, should be
classified a sub standard and should remain in such category for at least 18 months of
satisfactory performance under the re-negotiated or rescheduled terms. If interest and
installment of loans have been paid regularly as per the terms of re-scheduled. In other
words, the classification of an asset should not be upgraded merely as a result of
rescheduling, unless there is satisfactory compliance of this condition.
Doubtful assets
An asset is required to be classified as doubtful, if it has remained in the sub-standard
category for 12 months. As in the case of sub-standard assets, rescheduling does not
entitle the bank to upgrade the quality of an advance automatically.
A loan classified as doubtful thus all the weakness inherent as that classified as sub-
standard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation
in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable
and importable.
Loss assets
A loss asset is one where loss has been identified by the bank or internal or external
auditors or by the co-operation department or by the Reserve Bank Of India inspection
but the amount has not been written off, wholly or partly, in other words, such an asset is
considered un-collectible and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset
is not warranted although there may be some salvage or recovery value.
Doubtful assets
1. On liability covered by ECGC Nil
2. On secured liability minus amount covered by
term deposit, NSC, IVP, KVP, SV and LIC
policy 20 %
A. Doubtful up to 1 year 30 %
B. Doubtful for above 1 year but not 3 year 50 %
C. Doubtful above 3 years 100 %
3. On unsecured liability
Loss 100 %
(On the balance out standing minus amount guaranteed
by ECGC)
Provision against NPA is adequate in RNSB, which express the sound condition of the
bank. The bad and doubtful debt reserve was strengthened and the net NPA levels have
been brought down to zero.
Findings for NPA
Improper selection of borrowers activities
Weak appraisal system for credit proposal industries problem/prospects not
locked into
Managerial competence of borrower given less consideration
Irregularities in deficiencies in documentation-
Undated
Not renewed
Assessment of borrower and guarantors net worth on market opinion
Lack of review of borrowed accounts
Inadequate staff to contact borrowers frequently
Lack of proper follow up by banks
Failure to take punitive (strict and effective) actions against defaulters
Bank’s failure to appreciate the acts of prompt repayers
Under financing/non financing in time of projects
Mentality and attitude to default willfully
Non action/co-operation of government agencies in recovery
Effect of agricultural debt relief scheme
Inadequate monitoring of court cases and delays in execution
Socio-physical pressure by some people/activities
Target fulfilling under govt. poverty alleviation programme
Lack of income generation due to natural calamities and other uncertainties
(Suggestions) NPA reduction techniques:
NPA-larger than small but medium (above Rs.1 lac and up to 5 lac)
Branch team can talk to the borrower and work out the repayment programme
Debts can be settled through Lok Adalat
Influence of trade professional circles, associates useful
PROCESS OF RECOVERY
If three installments are outstanding,
Notice through branch office
Personal visit and meeting
If no response
Notice through advocate
Though no effect
Claim through court if party ready, of court settlement otherwise
After completion of formalities
Bank will get the order of security from court to recover their due.
Observation/finding
The accounts, which are not getting benefit of one time settlement
Cases of willful default, frauds and malfeasance
Loan with tie up arrangement for recovery (e.g. loans avail by salary earners)
Loans avail of or guaranteed by directors or by close relatives of directors or by
firms/companies/institutions in which the directors are the interested or by ex-
directors of respective urban co-operative banks
Loans guaranteed by government (including cases where government guarantee
has been invoked but not honored by the government)
Loans due from government departments/undertakings
Loans under government directed programmes
LIMITATION OF STUDY
Though I have selected the biggest co-operative bank for my study and no doubt here I
have learnt a lot, but compared to nationalize bank, its network is small. The procedure of
credit appraisal, various interest rates on different schemes, recovery programmes are
specific to Rajkot Nagarik Sahakari Bank Ltd.
Also credit management is wide topic; I have tried to cover the most related with it.
