15% of Banks capital funds (Tier-I and Tier-II capital) for single borrower
exposure. Additional 5% for infrastructure financing.
40% of Banks capital funds for group exposure. Additional 10% for infrastructure
financing.
Exceptional Circumstances: Further 5% subject to such borrowers consenting to
appropriate disclosure in the Notes on accounts in the Bank's Annual Report.
CAPITAL MARKET EXPOSURES not to exceed:
The Bank's aggregate exposure to the capital markets shall not exceed 40% of
Banks net worth as on March 31 of the previous year. This ceiling of 40% would
apply to both fund based and non-fund based exposure to capital market in all
forms.
Within the overall ceiling of 40%, Bank's direct investment in shares, convertible
bonds / debentures, units of equity-oriented mutual funds and all exposures to
Venture Capital Funds (VCFs) [both registered and unregistered] shall not

Also within the overall ceiling of 40%, the Bank's exposure to stock brokers both
fund based and non-fund based shall not exceed 10% of its net worth as on
March 31 of the previous year.
SUBSTANTIAL EXPOSURES:
Substantial exposure norms are in-house norms set within the prudential norms and are
intended to help in monitoring credit concentration. These norms should not be deemed
as a cap on further exposures and should not come in the way of booking bankable
business. The substantial exposure norms should be indicated in the loan proposals
and the Sanctioning Authority will have the necessary discretion to note the deviation in
this regard based on the justification placed before it.
Single Borrower: in excess of 7.5 % of banks capital funds (Tier I & II)
Group Borrower: in excess of 15 % of banks capital funds (Tier I & II)
Aggregate substantial exposure to individual borrowers should not exceed 300 %
of the Banks capital funds. (Tier I & II)
Aggregate substantial exposures to single & group of borrowers should not
exceed 600% of Banks capital funds (Tier I&II)
UNSECURED EXPOSURES:
These are restricted to 35% of Banks outstanding total exposure. (Where the realizable
value of the security (Primary & Collateral-tangible), as assessed by the Bank/approved
valuer/Reserve Bank Inspecting Official is ab-initio not more than 10% of the
outstanding exposure.
The exposure to sensitive commodities listed by RBI will be restricted to 5% of the
Banks net-worth as at the end of the previous year.
Loans sanctioned to Corporate against the security of shares for meeting promoters
contribution to the equity of new companies in anticipation of raising resources, should
be treated as banks investment in shares which would come under the ceiling of 40 %
of Banks net worth as on March 31st of the previous year prescribed for the banks total
exposure including both fund based and non-fund based to capital market in all forms.
amount exceeding 30% of the paid-up-share capital of that company or 30% of its
(Bank's) own paid up share capital and reserves, whichever is less.
However, due to certain important factors and events in the international financial
market on account of Globalisation and liberalization amongst the member countries of
the WTO, few of which are:
The BASEL committee, in partial amendment to BASEL-I has advised its memberCentral
Banks of different countries to focus on the Market Risk. In pursuance to the BASEL
Committee Recommendations the Reserve Bank of India implemented a Risk coverage
tool for the Banks to hedge and check the market risks. The tool was simple and a
broad brush common for all the Banks. The Regulatory Capital adequacy Ratio in
increased from then existing 8 % to 9% (1% being the load for market Risk)
BASEL II
Full Title of Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurement and
CapitalStandards: A Revised Framework released by BCBS on 26 June 2004.
As per mandate of RBI all Scheduled Commercial Banks in India(except RRBs)
are required to implement the revised framework w.e.f 31/3/2008.
European version of Basel II is called Capital Requirements Directive (CRD)
Regulatory & Economic Capital Requirement
To bring a banks regulatory capital (Minimum CAR) in line with its economic
capital
o (Prudential CAR)
Economic capital is the minimum capital required to ensure that the Bank
remains solvent when faced with large unexpected losses.
The 3 Pillars of Basle II
Pillar 1: Specifies the minimum capital level that a bank needs to hold to cover
its exposure to credit, market and operational risk
Pillar 2: Concerned with supervisory review that aims to ensure that a banks
overall capital level is sufficient to cover all its risks
Pillar 3 : Details the guidelines for disclosure of information on a banks risk
profile and capital to the outside world
The 3 pillars are mutually reinforcing
BASEL-III
Basel-III is a set of standards and practices developed for internationally active banks to
ensure that they maintain adequate capital to sustain themselves during periods of
economic crisis.
Objectives:
To strengthen the regulations regarding capital base and liquidity of Banks with
the goal of promoting a more re silent banking sector.
To improve the Banking sectors ability to absorb shocks arising from financial
and economic stress.
New capital requirements - Capital ratios and deductions:
CoreTier-1: common equity
The Basel 2 rules require that a bank hold 2% of Core Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted
assets. Core Tier 1 consists of ordinary shares, retained earnings and profits.
The Basel 3 rules replace the concept with 'common equity'. This basically consists of
common shares plus retained income. The rules require banks to hold 4.5% of common
equity.
Total Tier-1: The total Tier 1 requirement increases from 4% to 6% under Basel 3,
which
mean that other types of Tier 1 instrument, known as additional going concern capital,
can account for up to 1.5% of Tier 1 capital.
Total Capital:
The total minimum capital requirement remains at 8%, subject to a new capital buffer.
However, 6% of capital must be Tier 1, which means that Tier 2 can account for not
more than 2% of capital. Tier 3, which is used solely for market risk purposes, will be
removed completely.
Liquidity rules:
The new liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio will be introduced in
accordance with the timing detailed below.
Common equity, Tier 1, total capital and national implementation:
The new capital ratios will be phased in. National implementation must begin on
January 1
2013, by which date banks should have 3.5% common equity, 4.5% Tier 1 capital and
8% total capital. In 2014 this increases to 4% common equity and 5.5% Tier 1 capital.
The full ratios (ie, 4.5% common equity and 6% Tier 1 capital) apply from January 2015.
Leverage ratio:
The 3% ratio requirement will run parallel from January 1 2013 to 2017. The committee
will track the ratio, its component factors and impact over this period and will require
bank-level disclosure of the ratio and its factors from January 1 2015. Based on the
results of the parallel run, final adjustments to the ratio will made in the first half of 2017
and it will be fully effective from 1st January, 2018.
Liquidity ratios:
The liquidity coverage ratio will be introduced on January 1 2015. The net stable funding
ratio will apply as a minimum standard from 1st January, 2018.
On paper, Basel 3 will triple the quantum of capital banks will need to maintain. But
whether it will risk-proof the banking sector is doubtful. To be sure, Basel III is an
improvement over Basel II, just as Basel II was an improvement over Basel Is rough
and ready thumb-rule of 8% capital adequacy. But the problem, as the crisis has shown
us, was not with the rules per se. The cutthroat competition among banks means it will
always be profitable to game the system. In such a scenario, the best of rules is of no
use unless such rule-based regulation is supplemented by proactive and competent
supervision.
Capital required at every branch, for its fund and non-fund exposures, is calculated
through the Centralised Capital Calculator(C-cube) software, provided by the IRM
department. The report is known as CAR(Capital Adequacy Ratio) Return under Basel II
& Basel III, which is also known as AR 6. The report for every month is generated on
completion of C-cube processing by the branches and is available under Reports in
Ccube
link. The backup register for the report also available as sub-bucket wise report in
the reports menu.
The system computes and generates the Risk Weighted Asset value (RWA) and the
capital required for the same, based on the data available in CBS. This includes master
data created by the branches, while opening the loan accounts and variable data such
as Drawing Power, Security details & value External ratings, Govt (Soverign)
guarantees (CGTMSE/ECGC) available etc. The same is consolidated at Head Office
along with Market & Operational Risk and disclosed quarterly, through Banks website
and press reports after Central Audit. Hence it is important for branches to ensure that
the data in CBS is fully accurate & will there by yield correct capital calculation and
avoiding capital leakage for the Bank.
.How is the capital calculated?
It is simply 9% of the Risk weighted Assets (11.50% from Mar 2019).
How are the risk weighted assets (RWAS) calculated?
RWAs=Net exposures (after Haircut)(column 9 in CAR report) * RW%
What is net exposure?
Net exposure for Standard asset = Suppose loan outstanding Rs.55000 backed by TDR
of Rs.10000. Net exposure is Rs.45000.
Net exposure for NPA asset = Suppose loan outstanding Rs.55000 and Provisions held
is Rs.10000. Net exposure is Rs.45000.
What is Risk Weight?
The risk inbuilt in any lending is known as the risk weight and is denominated by % (of
the exposure). For example a risk in personal loan is 125%, Gold loan under Per-125 %
& under AGR-75% etc.
What is Haircut?
The possible decline in value of a Basel security that may occur due to market
conditions. For example Gold, Debt securities etc.

I.ADVANCES TO WEAKER SECTIONS:
In order to ensure that more underprivileged sections in the priority sector are given
proper attention in the matter of allocation of credit it should be endured that the

10% of the NBC. Weaker sections include:
a) Small and marginal farmers with land holdings of 5 acres and less and
b) Landless borrowers, tenant farmers and share croppers.

Adjusted Net Bank Credit (ANBC) denotes Net Bank Credit (NBC) plus Investments
made by banks in non-SLR bonds held in HTM (Held to maturity) category. Investments
made by banks in the Recapitalization bonds floated by Govt. of India will not be taken
into account for the purpose of calculation of ANBC. Outstanding FCNR (B) and NRNR
deposit balances will no longer be deducted for computation of ANBC for priority sector
lending purposes. Inter-bank exposures will not be taken into account for the purpose.
Existing investments, as on the date of circular, made by banks in non-SLR bonds held
in HTM category will not be taken into account for calculation of ANBC, up to March 31,
2010.However, fresh investments by banks in non-SLR bonds held in HTM category will
be taken into account for the purpose. Deposits placed by banks with NABARD/SIDBI,
as the case may be, in lieu of non-achievement of priority sector lending targets/subtargets will not be treated as investment in non-SLR bonds held in HTM category.
To assist poorest of the poor and to bring them above the poverty line DIR scheme was
launched in the year 1972. DRI is a scheme classified as priority sector under which
banks sanction loans to selected low-income group of borrowers among weaker
sections of the community for productive endeavors at 4% p.a. rate of interest. The
scheme is operative throughout the country and 1% of total advances outstanding as at
the end of the previous year should be of DIR loans. It should be ensured that not less
than 40% of the total advances granted under DRI scheme go to SC/ST. At least two
third of DRI advances should be granted through rural and semi-urban branches. To be
eligible, the annual income of the family should not exceed Rs. 24,000/- in urban and
semi-urban areas and Rs. 18,000/- in rural areas.
- Rs.15,000/- as TL or WC or both
- Rs.20,000/- for Housing and also for Physically Handicapped (Rs.5,000/- for purchase
of artificial limbs in addition to Rs.15,000)
Repayment period is fixed depending upon the income generated to the extent of
maximum 5 years including gestation period.

banks comes down. The RBI uses the CRR to drain out excessive money from the
system. Scheduled banks are required to maintain with the RBI an average cash
balance, the amount of which shall not be less than 4% of the total of the Net Demand

NARROW BANKING
This concept originated in USA. Under this concept Banks are required to invest in
highly marketable liquid assets such as treasury bills. Narsimham Committee
suggested that financially weak banks should be allowed to invest only in 100 %
secured Government Paper. This will ensure that NPA will come down over a period of
time. But, another view is that banks are essentially set up to finance commercial
activities and hence they should not be prohibited from this activity. Also, if the interest
rate for Government securities come down, the viability of the bank will be affected.

of sudden withdrawals. Customer base will increase which increases cross selling
opportunities and revenue to the bank. This is also a way of financial inclusion.

image thereof is sent to the drawee branch through the clearing house for
payment

service and reduces the scope of clearing related frauds or loss of instruments in
transit
A GRID based approach to cover national roll out of CTS is envisaged to cover
even small branches which are not even member of any clearing operation now.

Basically, the Interviewer before calling you for the interview goes through
your bio data, which includes your personal details, academic details and
your background. So your Interview will revolve around all the above three
points plus knowledge of present assignment. If you have prepared well
for the above points your half work is done. Apart from this, if you can
keep in mind the following points and practice them during mock
interviews, then be sure you are through.
1) Whenever the Interviewer asks questions, listen carefully. Do not
interrupt midway. Ask for a clarification if the question is not clear. Wait
for a second or two before you answer.
2) Speak clearly. Dont speak very slowly. Be loud enough so that the
interviewer doesnt have to strain their ears. Feel free to ask questions if
necessary. It is quite in order and much appreciated by Interviewers. But,
please dont overdo it.
3) If you dont know an answer, be honest. The interviewer will respect your
integrity and honesty. Never exaggerate.
4) Never boast about your achievements. Dont be overconfident-it is often
misinterpreted for arrogance.
5) Dont get into an argument with the interviewer on any topic. Restrain
yourself.
6) Remember your manners. Project an air of humility and be polite.
Maintain a cheerful disposition throughout the Interview, because a
pleasant appearence holds the interviewers interest. Avoid playing with
fingers or tie, moving legs.
7) Project enthusiasm. The interviewer usually pays more attention if you
display enthusiasm in whatever you say.
8) Maintain perfect eye contact with all panel members, make sure you
address them all. This shows your self confidence and honesty.
9) When questions are asked in English, reply in English only. Do not reply in
any other languages. Please take permission to reply in other language if
necessary.
10)
Do not keep shifting your position. Your posture and gesture during the
interview adds to your personality so be conscious about that.
11)
Make sure you thank the interviewers as a mark of respect for the time
they have spared for you. After getting up, place your chair in its original
position
