Credit analysts, also known as financial analysts in the business world, play a very important role
in the health of the economy. Credit analysts makes the entire modern economy function from
day to day. Without the recommendations of credit analysts, banks are not able to extend lines of
credit to businesses seeking loans. Credit analysts follows a method by which one calculates the
creditworthiness of a business. In other words, it is evaluation of the ability of a company to
honor its financial obligations. The objective of this method is to look at both the borrower and
the lending facility being proposed and to assign a risk rating. The risk rating is derived by
estimating the probability of default by the borrower at a given confidence level over the life of
the facility, and by estimating the amount of loss that the lender would suffer in the event of
default.

Working Capital
Working Capital means that the fund required by organization to carry on their operations
without any interruption. It is considered as part of operating capital. Working capital is a
common measure of a company's efficiency, liquidity and overall health. Working capital
represents the liquidity in business i.e how the current liabilities are backed by current assets. It
includes accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, the portion of debt due within one
year, cash and other short-term accounts. A company's working capital reflects the results of the
company's activities, including inventory management, revenue collection, debt management and
payments to suppliers.
One of the most significant uses of working capital is to know the conversion time of inventory.
The longer inventory sits with company the longer the company's working capital is tied up.
If working capital is positive it means company is able to pay off its short-term liabilities
otherwise there is deficiency in working capital and it is required to raise money through loans to
carry out its operations. This situation usually occurs when a company has used all its cash to
pay for everything, rather than seeking financing that would make payments smooth and make
cash available for other uses. As a result, working capital shortages cause many businesses to fail
even though they may actually turn a profit.
Following are the products offered by Axis Bank under working capital:

(EPCG) etc for a tenure of 1 years to 10 years.
Methods
Following are the methods followed by Axis Bank to sanction loan:
MPBF
MPBF stands for Maximum Permissible Banking Finance. Like many other activities of
the banks, method and quantum of short-term finance that can be granted to a corporate
was mandated by the Reserve Bank of India till 1994. This control was exercised on the
lines suggested by the recommendations of a study group headed by Shri Prakash
Tandon. This study group was called as Tandon Committee. As per the recommendations
of Tandon Committee, the corporate are discouraged from accumulating too much of
30
stocks of current assets and are recommended to move towards very inclined inventories
and receivable levels.
Depending on the size of credit required, two methods are in practice to fund the working
capital needs of the corporate.
Method 1
This method is used when the credit requirement is less than 5 lakhs.
75 [ Current Assets( Current LiabilitiesBank Borrowings ) ]
Method 2
This method is used when the credit requirement is more than 5 lakhs.
[ ( 75 X Current Assets ) ( Current LiabilitiesBank Borrowings ) ]
Axis Bank generally prefers 2nd method of MPBF
Cash Budgeting
Cash budgeting method was recommended by Kannan Committee. Bank finance is
sanctioned in the form of short term loan which may be repaid in suitable installments.
This is well suited particularly when SME units are dealing in seasonal products (Sugar/
Rice Mills/Textiles/Tea/Tobacco/Fertilizers)/ construction activities / Educational
Institutions/order based activities. The customer is assured of bank finance which is based
on projected cash flows which are estimated by him and approved by the bank. Hence,
the Cash Flow Based Lending method is popular in developed countries.
Turnover
The credit requirements of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises having aggregate fund
based working capital limits upto 5 crores from bank, will be computed on the basis of a
minimum of 20 % of their acceptable projected annual turnover for new as well as
existing units as per Nayak Committee recommendations.

CH 3: CREDIT APPRAISAL
Introduction
Credit Appraisal is an assessment carried on by bank to assess the credit worthiness, risk,
financials, commercial and technical viability of the project, collateral security to recover dues
before sanction of any loan and advances. Credit Risk is the risk associated with non-payment of
installments towards the credit provided by bank. Thus a proper evaluation has to conducted
regarding the credibility of the borrower before bank sanctioning the loan. Though the loans are
provided against a collateral security, bank prefer the borrower to repay the loan amount and
interest. Thus there high importance given to the financials.
It is the process of appraising the credit worthiness of a loan applicant factors like repayment
capacity, nature of employment, income, age, continuity of employment, previous loans,
defaulters list, credit cards, etc. are taken into account while appraising the credit worthiness of a
person.
Thus these 5 Cs are very important to analysis
Character
Capital
Conditions
Capacity
Collateral
All the 5 Cs being present in a proposal makes the bank confident of sanction of loan as there is
safety in providing loan as well as a surety of principal and interest amount being paid by the
borrower.
Every bank has different norms to check before sanctioning of loan. One of the major norm
being Loan-To-Value (LTV). LTV is a determining factor to know the value of the collateral
against which loan is provided. Bank compares this LTV to the banks fixed defined LTV above
which only the bank sanctions loan.
33
LTV =
Amount of loan
Value of Property
Parameters
These parameters are used to reduce the risk of failure as it checks the risk, exposure etc. These
parameters use the audited data provided by borrower, trend analysis, subjective and objective
parameters etc.
