CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This project is done to understand, analyze and review the “CREDIT EVALUATION
PROCESS” at “INDIAN OVERSEAS BANK”. The project is basically done to analyze the
appraisal process carried out in the bank and the criteria’s set by the bank for obtaining loan. As
part of the project, a proposal has been selected and studied fully whether it satisfies all the
criteria’s of the bank and suggested whether the proposal can be selected or not by the bank. It
has been done by using appropriate” FINANCIAL TOOLS”.
CREDIT EVALUATION
¾ Credit evaluation is the assessment of the viability of proposed long term investments in
terms of shareholder wealth and the formal analysis of all project costs and benefits
which is used to justify the project proposal. Effective project appraisal offers significant
benefits to a firm.
¾ Getting the design and operation of appraisal systems right is important. The proper
consideration of each of the key components of project appraisal is essential. These are,
1
Key issues in appraising projects include the following.
• Need, targeting and objectives
The starting point for appraisal: applicants should provide a detailed description of the project,
identifying the local need it aims to meet. Appraisal helps show if the project is the right
response, and highlight what the project is supposed to do and for whom.
• Options
Options analysis is concerned with establishing whether there are different ways of achieving
objectives. This is a particularly complex part of project appraisal, and one where guidance
varies. It is vital though to review different ways of meeting local need and key objectives.
• Inputs
It’s important to ensure that all the necessary people and resources are in place to deliver the
project. This may mean thinking about funding from various sources and other inputs, such as
volunteer help or premises. Appraisal should include the examination of appropriately detailed
budgets.
• Outputs and outcomes
Detailed consideration must be given in appraisal to what a project does and achieves: its outputs
and more importantly its longer-term outcomes. Benefits to neighborhoods and their residents
are reflected in the improved quality of life outcomes (jobs, better housing, safety, health and so
on), and appraisals consider if these are realistic.

1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Indian Banking Sector: Brief Introduction
India’s banking sector is currently valued at Rs 81 trillion (US$ 1.31 trillion). It has the potential
to become the fifth largest banking industry in the world by 2020 and the third largest by 2025,
according to an industry report. The face of Indian banking has changed over the years. Banks
are now reaching out to the masses with technology to facilitate greater ease of communication,
and transactions are carried out through the Internet and mobile devices.
With the Parliament passing the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill in 2012, the landscape of the
sector will likely change. The bill allows the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to make final
guidelines on issuing new bank licenses. This could lead to a greater number of banks in the
country; the style of operation could also evolve with the integration of modern technology into
the industry.
Online Banking
IDBI Bank Ltd has started an online Public Provident Fund (PPF) subscription facility for its
customers. The bank had already received approval from the government to operationalise PPF
transactions through the Internet. The facility would help accomplish the government’s initiative
of electronic transactions in banking services, and also provide a strong platform to mobilize
funds through the Small Saving Schemes. PPF account holders of the bank will have the benefit
of accessing their PPF account online, view account details, print statements, and make
subscription to PPF by way of online transfer of funds.
Simple steps such as memorizing personal identification number (PIN), bringing down credit
limits on cards, using virtual cards for internet transactions and deactivating transactional
services linked to a mobile number can limit bank frauds, according to experts. Changing the
password regularly can also save an account from fraud attacks.
Online money transfers and money credited directly to an account are the second preferred mode
of inward remittances in India, rising to 22 per cent in fiscal 2013 from 14 per cent in 2009,
according to an RBI report. "While electronic wires/SWIFT continue to be the dominant mode of
transferring remittances by overseas Indians, in the recent period, there has been a significant
increase in the share of remittances transmitted through direct transfer to bank accounts and
through online mode," the report stated.

ABOUT BANKING INDUSTRY BY IOB CHAIRMAN
It gives me immense pleasure to present your Bank's Annual Report and financial statements for
the year 2012-13. I would like to share with you the highlights and performance indicators of the
Bank during the year. Bank has to operate in an environment of slower growth caused by slump
in general economic conditions throughout the year. The economic growth during FY 2012
ended 31.03.2013 decelerated to 5% from 6.2% in the FY 2011 ended 31.03.2012. Agriculture
and Services Sector are performing well while there is slow growth in the manufacturing sector.
However, steps taken by the Government to put the economy back on growth track are expected
to improve business and consumer confidence during the coming year.

Key Statistics
The revenue of Indian banks increased four-fold from US$ 11.8 billion to US$ 46.9 billion in the
period 2001–2010. In that phase, the profit after tax rose about nine-fold from US$ 1.4 billion to
US$ 12 billion.
Banking Index with the Sensex (Bankex) that tracks the performance of primary banking sector
stocks grew at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 20 per cent over the period
2003–2012.
Total number of onsite and offsite ATMs of Indian Banks reached 100042 in July 2012.

Growth of Industry
The Indian economy’s liberalization in the early 1990s has resulted in the conception of various
private sector banks. This has sparked a boom in the country’s banking sector in the past two
decades4. The revenue of Indian banks grew four-fold from US$ 11.8 billion to US$ 46.9 billion,
whereas the profit after tax rose nearly nine-fold from US$ 1.4 billion to US$ 12 billion over
2001-105. This growth was driven primarily by two factors. First, the influx of Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) of up to 74 per cent with certain restrictions4. Second, the conservative
policies of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which have shielded Indian banks from recession
and global economic turmoil. compares the country’s Banking Index (Bankex) with the Sensex.
The Bankex is an index tracking the performance of important banking sector stocks, and has
grown at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 20 per cent over 2003-
126.The Figure below shows that the Bankex and the Sensex have had similar growth trends
over the past decade.
5
The high CAGR exhibited by India’s Bankex demonstrates the industry’s resilience to recession
and economic instability. This resilience primarily stems from two factors. First, the highly
regulated Indian banking sector restricts exposure to high risk assets and excessive leveraging.
Second, Indian economy’s overall growth rate has been much higher than other economies
worldwide7. However, the recent crisis in the eurozone is likely to affect the Indian economy
and in particular the country’s banking sector. The RBI’s Financial Stability Report
Estimates the claim of European Banks on India at approximately 8.6 per cent of the country’s
GDP, while some analysts estimate the figure to have reached 15 per cent of the GDP7. Further,
the recent implementation of the Basel III guidelines may also force European banks to
deleverage significantly7. Data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggests that these
banks will deleverage up to US$ 2.6 trillion by the end of 2013 especially from the sale of
securities and non-core assets. This will see the credit supply to businesses shrinking by 1.7 per
cent8, thereby driving Indian companies to borrow from the Indian banks at a higher cost in
times of inflation and in a period of depreciation in the value of rupee7. The non performing
assets (NPAs) of banks were pegged at 2.9 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2011, and are
expected to rise to 3.5 per cent by 20129. All these factors might hamper the performance of the
6
Indian banking sector. However, amongst positive initiatives taken by the government, the RBI
mandated banks to maintain 70 per cent of the provision coverage ratio of their bad loans as
on September 2010, thereby mitigating the effect of NPAs to a certain extent10.The NPAs of
public, private and foreign banks in India are exhibited.
7
Public sector banks will soon offer customers insurance products from different companies as
against products from one company. The finance ministry has asked public sector banks to
become insurance brokers instead of corporate agents. This move was one of the steps stated by
finance minister Mr P Chidambaram in early 2013, as a way to increase insurance penetration.
Citi has promoted Mr Anand Selvakesari as the head of consumer banking for the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. Mr Selvakesari will continue his present role as Citi’s
consumer banking business head in India – a post he has occupied since July 2013 – as well as
look after the consumer banking operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand and Vietnam.
Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) has received approval from the RBI to open a second branch in
Bangkok, according to the bank’s chairman and managing director Mr M Narendra. The bank
will likely open the second branch before March 31, 2014. Also, the bank is looking to expand
its presence. "Our focus is on opening more rural branches and taking banking to villages. We
have covered 3,000 villages under the financial inclusion scheme,” said Mr Narendra.
In an effort to expand its revenue streams, Bank of India (BOI) plans to enter the merchant
banking space through BOI Shareholding Ltd. BOI is looking to buy Bombay Stock Exchange’s
(BSE) entire shareholding in their joint venture BOI Shareholding Ltd (BOISL). Another reason
for BOI’s inclination to foray into merchant banking is to offer a greater range of financial
services to its customers.
8
Government Initiatives
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has given the go-ahead to a proposal to
increase foreign holding in Axis Bank to 62 per cent from the current 49 per cent. The move
could lead to overseas investment of nearly Rs 7,250 crore (US$ 1.17 billion) into the country.
The approval is subject to foreign institutional investors’ (FII) holding being capped at 49 per
cent.
To counter the liquidity pressure faced by micro and small enterprises, the RBI will provide
refinance aggregating up to Rs 5,000 crore (US$ 813.16 million) to the Small Industries
Development Bank of India (SIDBI). SIDBI can use the funds for direct and onward lending to
banks. Also, in an effort to encourage more lending to medium enterprises, the RBI will include
incremental credit given to these units by scheduled commercial banks (which do not include
regional rural banks) under the domain of priority sector lending.
HDFC Bank Ltd has started its rural financial literacy initiative in the village of Palakkad in
Kerala, with the support of the RBI. The private bank will conduct financial literacy camps in 39
rural and semi-urban branches across the South Indian state. These camps will allow adults and
school children from 234 Panchayat wards in 26 villages to gain theoretical knowledge on
financial products and services. This initiative endorses the RBI's recent circular which
recommends that banks, through their branch networks, should put in more efforts in rural areas
to spread financial literacy.
Road Ahead
India is one of the top 10 economies in the world, where the banking sector has tremendous
potential to grow. The last decade saw customers embracing ATM, internet and mobile banking.
The number of ATMs has doubled over the past few years, with more than 100,000 in the
country at present (70 per cent in urban areas). They are estimated to further double by 2016,
with over 50 per cent expected to be set up in small towns. Also, the scope for mobile and
internet banking is big. At the start of 2013, only 2 per cent of banking payments went through
the electronic system in the country. Today, mobility and customer convenience are viewed as
the primary factors of growth and banks are continuously exploring new technology, with terms
such as mobile solutions and cloud computing being used with greater regularity.

CHAPTER 3
PROBLEM STATEMENT
To study the credit evaluation of Indian Overseas Bank on verifying whether all the criteria’s of
the bank has been satisfied by the company for obtaining the loan from bank and identifying the
constraints if any through various Financial Tools in order to overcome inefficiencies in credit
evaluation and overcoming it.
21
3.1 NEED FOR STUDY
¾ An important need of credit evaluation is obtaining an understanding of the anticipated
expenditure and benefits of a project, usually expressed in terms of its inputs (costs) and
outputs (results).
¾ Detailed appraisal is generally necessary before decisions can be taken and offers made.
¾ It will enable any obviously poor or ineligible ones to be eliminated, avoid duplication
and give an early overall view of the success of the measure.
22
3.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
¾ To study entire loan system In Indian Overseas Bank.
¾ To study the procedure of obtaining loan from Indian Overseas Bank.
¾ To know on what criteria the bank Appraise the loan to the business.
¾ To Study about the effectiveness of the Financial tools used by the bank to appraise the
loan to the business
23
3.3 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
¾ The Secondary data collected from various sources used in the study is not fully
complete.
¾ The figures shown in the project are just expected figures.
¾ The result of project appraisal is tentative.
¾ All financial tools which are applied in this appraisal have their own limitations.
24
CHAPTER 4
METHODOLOGY
Secondary data on the other hand are those that have already been collected and analyzed by
someone else. Secondary data are collected from published accounts and annual reports of Indian
Overseas Bank. The main source of data of the study was the annual reports of Indian Overseas
Bank, internet sources, books & articles.
25
• Submission of application
The main & the first step is the submission of the duty filled form or the loan application it is the
choice customer that which types of application he wants to give depending upon the needs.
• Primary assessment
When the application is received, an officer of the recipient institution reviews it to
ascertain whether it is complete for processing. If it is incomplete the borrower is asked
to provide the required additional information.
When the application is considered complete, the recipient institution prepares of flash
report, which is essentially a summarization of the loan application, to be evaluated at
the Senior Executive Meeting (SEM). Once the SEM, on the basis of its evaluation of
the flash report, decides that the project justifies a detail appraisal, it nominates lead
financial institutions.
The factors taken in to account for designating lead institution are: location of the
project, prior experience of institution in handling similar projects, representation of
institutions in the state and promoter group, and existing work load of the institutions.
• Branch head recommendation
The appraisal is moving one step ahead that is to analysis the applicants eligibility as per the
norms provided by the considering his gross income after detecting his liabilities, his actual
repayment capacity is checked as per norms.
• Final assessment of various level of bank
After referring the application form and appraisal branch head put his recommended action
whether to accept the application or not & send it the corporate office.
• Lending committee
At the corporate office the final assessment is to be done & decision is taken to reject the
application is forwarded to the particular branch from where the application has been received.
Before it also lending committee decide whether to give loan or not.
Example
• Loan for more than 10 lac Rs all BOD need to agree for that particular Loan.
26
• Also some of the lending committee is formed by bank in which Directors are included
and they decide whether to give Loan or not. The branches have the power to take the
major decision on the sanctioning of the loan if it is less than Rs 1 lack.
• Documentation of loan application Once the Loan is Sanction Banks need to check all
the document of borrower as well as guarantor once again and only then and then they
can proceed ahead.
• Disbursement of loan
If loan is sanction than Bank open the account of borrower in their bank and issue the check.
Before the entire term loan is disbursed the borrowers must fully comply with all terms and
condition of the loan agreement.
• Creation of security
The term loans (both rupee and foreign currency) and the differed guarantee assistance
provided by the All-India financial institutions are secured through the first mortgage,
by way of deposit of title deeds of immovable properties and hypothecation of movable
properties.
As the creation of mortgage, particularly in the case of land, tends to be a time
consuming process, the institutions permit interim disbursement against alternate
security (institution the form of guarantees provided by the promoters).
The mortgage, however, has to be created within a year from the date of the first
disbursement.
Otherwise the borrower has to pay an additional charge of 1 percent interest
Feasibility of the Project
Project Should Be Feasible and This Is Done By Detail Appraisal Of The Project Into The
Following Different Environment.
(a) Market and Demand analysis
The first step in project analysis is to estimate the potential size of the market for the product
proposal and gets an idea about the market share that is likely to be capture. Market and demand
analysis is concerned with two broad issues:
• What is the likely aggregate demand for the product/service?
• What share of the market will the proposed project achieve?
27
The importance of market and demand analysis, it should be carried out in orderly and
systematic manners. The key steps in such analysis are,
• Situation analysis and specification of objectives
• Collection of secondary information
• Conduct of market survey
• Characterization of the market
• Demand forecasting
• Market planning
28
(c ) Financial Analysis
To judge a project from the financial angle, we need information about the following:
Cost of project
Means of financing
Estimates of sales and production
Cost of production
Working capital requirement and its financing
Estimates of working results
Projected profitability statements
Projected balance sheets
29
CHAPTER 5
ANALYSIS
5.1 TOOLS OF ANALYSIS
The following tools are used for analyzing the given Project proposal.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Current ratio
Current ratio is the ratio of current assets of a business to its current liabilities. It is the most
widely used test of liquidity of a business and measures the ability of a business to repay its debts
over the period of next 12 months.
Formula
Current Assets
Current Ratio =
Current Liabilities
Both the above figures can be obtained from the balance sheet of the business. Current assets are
the assets of a business expected to be converted to cash or used up in next 12 months or within
the normal operating cycle of the business. Current liabilities on the other hand are the
obligations of a business which need to be settled within next 12 months or within the normal
operating cycle.
Analysis
Current ratio matches current assets with current liabilities and tells us whether the current assets
are enough to settle current liabilities. Current ratio below 1 shows critical liquidity problems
because it means that total current liabilities exceed total current assets. General rule is that
30
higher the current ratio better it is but there is a limit to this. Abnormally high value of current
ratio may indicate existence of idle or underutilized resources in the company.
Example 1: On December 31, 2009 Company A had current assets of $100,000 and current
liabilities of $50,000. Calculate its current ratio.
Solution
Current ratio = $100,000 ÷ $50,000 = 2.00
Quick ratio
Quick ratio or Acid Test ratio is the ratio of the sum of cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities and accounts receivable to the current liabilities of a business. It measures the ability of
a company to pay its debts by using its cash and near cash current assets (i.e. accounts receivable
and marketable securities).
Formula
Quick Ratio=
Current Liabilities
Marketable securities are those securities which can be coverted into cash quickly. Examples of
marketable securities are treasury bills, saving bills, shares of stock-exchange, etc. Receivables
refer to accounts receivable. Alternatively, quick ratio can also be calculated using the following
31
Formula
Quick Ratio=
Current Liabilities
Analysis:
Quick ratio measures the liquidity of a business by matching its cash and near cash current assets
with its total liabilities. It helps us to determine whether a business would be able to pay off all
its debts by using its most liquid assets (i.e. cash, marketable securities and accounts receivable).
A quick ratio of 1.00 means that the most liquid assets of a business are equal to its total debts
and the business will just manage to repay all its debts by using its cash, marketable securities
and accounts receivable. A quick ratio of more than one indicates that the most liquid assets of a
business exceed its total debts. On the opposite side, a quick ratio of less than one indicates that a
business would not be able to repay all its debts by using its most liquid assets.
Thus we conclude that, generally, a higher quick ratio is preferable because it means greater
liquidity. However a quick ratio which is quite high, say 4.00, is not favorable to a business as
whole because this means that the business has idle current assets which could have been used to
create additional projects thus increasing profits. In other words, very high value of quick ratio
may indicate inefficiency.

Example 1: A company has following assets and liabilities at the year ended December 31,
2009:
Cash $34,390
Fixed assets turnover ratio is an activity ratio that measures how successfully a company is
utilizing its fixed assets in generating revenue. It calculates the dollars of revenue earned per one
dollar of investment in fixed assets.
A higher fixeds asset turnover ratio is generally better. However, there might be situations when
a high fixed asset turnover ratio might not necessarily mean efficient use of fixed assets as
explained in the example.
33
Formula
Net Revenue
Net profit margin is used to compare profitability of competitors in the same industry. It can also
be used to determine the profitability potential of different industries. While companies in some
industries are able to generate high net profit margin, other industries offer very narrow margins.
It depends on the extent of competition, elasticity of demand, production differentiation, etc. of
the relevant product or market.
Return on equity and return on assets are other relevant ratios that measure the relationship of net
income with shareholders' equity and total assets respectively.
34
Formula
Net Income
Net Sales
Operating margin ratio or return on sales ratio is the ratio of operating income of a business to its
revenue. It is profitability ratio showing operating income as a percentage of revenue.
Formula
Operating Income
Operating Margin =
Revenue
Operating income is same as earnings before interest and tax (EBIT). Both operating income and
revenue figures can be obtained from the income statement of a business.
Analysis
Operating margin ratio of 9% means that a net profit of $0.09 is made on each dollar of sales.
Thus a higher value of operating margin ratio is favorable which indicates that more proportion
of revenue is converted to operating income. An increase in operating margin ratio overtime
means that the profitability is improving. It is also important to compare the gross margin ratio of
35
a business to the average gross profit margin of the industry. In general, a business which is more
efficient is controlling its overall costs will have higher operating margin ratio.
Return on assets is the ratio of annual net income to average total assets of a business during a
financial year. It measures efficiency of the business in using its assets to generate net income. It
is a profitability ratio.
Formula
ROA =
Net income is the after tax income. It can be found on income statement. Average total assets are
calculated by dividing the sum of total assets at the beginning and at the end of the financial year
by 2. Total assets at the beginning and at the end of the year can be obtained from year ending
balance sheets of two consecutive financial years.
Analysis
Return on assets indicates the number of cents earned on each dollar of assets. Thus higher
values of return on assets show that business is more profitable. This ratio should be only used to
compare companies in the same industry. The reason for this is that companies in some
industries are most asset-insensitive i.e. they need expensive plant and equipment to generate
income compared to others. Their ROA will naturally be lower than the ROA of companies
which are low asset-insensitive. An increasing trend of ROA indicates that the profitability of the
company is improving. Conversely, a decreasing trend means that profitability is deteriorating.
36
WORKING CAPITAL ANALYSIS.
A set financing pattern is evolved to meet the requirement of a unit for acquisition of fixed assets
and current assets. Fixed assets are to be financed by owned funds and long-term liabilities raised
by a unit while current assets are partly financed by long-term liabilities and partly by current
liabilities and other short-term loans arranged by the unit from the bank. The balance sheet of a
unit under such dispensation may be represented as in next page.
The total current assets with the firm may be taken as gross working capital whereas the net
working capital with the unit may be calculated as under:
37
This net working capital is also sometimes referred to as 'liquid surplus' with the firm and has
been margin available for working capital requirements of the unit. Financing of working capital
has been the exclusive domain of commercial banks while they also grant term loans for creation
of fixed assets either on their own or in consortium with State level/All India financial
institutions. The financial institutions are also now considering sanction of working capital loans.
The current assets in the example given in the earlier paragraph are financed asunder:
Current Assets = Current liabilities + Working capital limits from banks + Margin from
long-term liabilities

machine and other expenses. The company also applied for loan to other banks to cover rest of
the amount. Loan sanctioned by IOB is 4.80
40
sheets, Income statement etc. If the profitability analysis of the company are verified
successfully according to the various analysis like market and demand analysis, financial
analysis etc., the loan will sanctioned according to the need of the company otherwise it will
reduced according to the demand. Hence it will be proved through various FINANCIAL
TOOLS.
Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis is used to evaluate relationships among financial statement items. The ratios are
used to identify trends over time for one company or to compare two or more companies at one
point in time. Financial statement ratio analysis focuses on three key aspects of a business:
liquidity, profitability, and solvency.
Financial ratio analysis is a useful tool for users of financial statement. It has following
advantages:
Advantages
Disadvantages
Despite usefulness, financial ratio analysis has some disadvantages. Some key demerits of
financial ratio analysis are:
41
2. Financial accounting information is affected by estimates and assumptions.
Accounting standards allow different accounting policies, which impairs
comparability and hence ratio analysis is less useful in such situations.
3. Ratio analysis explains relationships between past information while users are more
concerned about current and future information.

WORKING CAPITAL ANALYSIS
The objective of running any industry is earning profits. An industry will require funds to acquire
“fixed assets” like land and building, plant and machinery, equipments, vehicles etc… and also
to run the business i.e. its day to day operations. Working capital is defined, as the funds required
carrying the required levels of current assets to enable the unit to carry on its operations at the
expected levels uninterruptedly. Working capital is an excess of current assets over current
liabilities. In other words, the amount of current assets which is more than current liabilities is
known as Working Capital. If current liabilities are nil then, working capital will equal to current
assets. Working capital shows strength of business in short period of time. If a company have
some amount in the form of working capital, it means Company have liquid assets, with this
money company can face every crises position in market.
Current assets are those assets which can be converted into cash within One year or less than one
year. In current assets, we include cash, bank, debtors, bill receivables, prepaid expenses,
outstanding incomes. Current Liabilities are those liabilities which can be paid to respective
parties within one year or less than one year at their maturity. In current liabilities, we includes
creditors, outstanding bills, bank overdraft, bills payable and short term loans, outstanding
expenses, advance incomes.
Some time, if creditors demand their money from company, at this time company's high working
capital saves company from this situation. You know that selling of current assets are easy in
small period of time but Company cannot sell their fixed assets with in small period of time. So,
if Company has sufficient working capital, Company can easily pay off the creditors and create
his reputation in market. But if a company has zero working capital and then company cannot
pay creditors in emergency time and either company becomes bankrupt or takes loan at higher
rate of Interest. In both condition, it is very dangerous and always Company's Account Manager
tries to keep some amount of working capital for creating goodwill in market.
Positive working capital enables also to pay day to day expenses like wages, salaries, overheads
and other operating expenses. Because sufficient working capital can not only pay maturity
liabilities but also outstanding liabilities without any more delay.
One of advantages of positive working capital that company can do every risky work without
any tension of self security.
57
Concept of working capital includes meaning of working capital and its nature. Working capital
is the investment in current assets. Without this investment, we cannot operate our fixed assets
properly. For getting good profits from fixed assets, we need to buy some current assets or pay
some expenses or invest our money in current assets. For example, we keep some of cash which
is the one of major part of working capital. At any time, our machines may need repair. Repair is
revenue expense but without cash, we cannot repair our machines and without machines, our
production may delay. Like this, we need inventory or to invest in debtors and other short term
securities.
1. Gross Working Capital
In this concept of working capital, we study gross working capital. We do not deduct current
liabilities in this concept but we use current liabilities as source of fund. Suppose, if we buy
goods on credit, it means our save our cash and we can use this as working capital for paying
other expenses
2. Net Working Capital
Under this concept we use net working capital. For this, we first deduct all our current liabilities
from our current assets. Excess of current assets over current liabilities will be current assets. We
have to maintain minimum level of working capital in our business for operation of business
activities. This concept is also used for preparation of balance sheet. In the vertical form of
balance sheet, we show excess of current assets over current liabilities.
58
3. Changes of Working Capital
To analyze the past working capital changes is useful for working capital future forecast.
Working capital is difference between current assets and current liabilities. If we check two
years' working capital changes, we can estimate what changes in working capital in next year.

CHAPTER 6
RESULTS & DISCUSSIONS
6.1 FINDINGS
Ratio Analysis
¾ The Current Ratio is fluctuating and it is quite high compared to the previous years so it
shows good capabilities of the firm in meeting the current obligation.
¾ The Quick ratio is nearer to the original standard that is 1:1 and it is found to be
Satisfactory.
¾ The Net Profit ratio shows that the company has good control on the costs and its
profitability as it is increasing over years.
¾ The ratio is increasing thereby decreasing the efficiency of the company and not
favorable to the company.
¾ The profitability ratio shows good result except the GP ratio which is low and the same is
also expected to increase in the future.
¾ On the whole the liquidity ratios are satisfactory. They also compare favorably with
industry average.
Working Capital Management
Working Capital is done to assess the utilization of capital employed in the business. The
analysis shows the effective utilization of working capital by the company.
¾ Schedule of changes in working capital shows that the company is utilizing the working
capital efficiently in the business.
¾ The current ratio shows that the current assets are more than the Current liability which
will not affect the proportion of Current ratio.
¾ It enables the bank to sanction more working capital in the future by considering this
criterion.
Recommendation
¾ The analysis done in this project will give a good idea about the appraisal system which
is done by using various financial tools that has not been carried on by bank as a part of
appraisal process.
¾ Ratio Analysis is the tool which is used to appraise the financial status of the organization
by using Current asset, Current liabilities, Net profit etc. But these financial statements
69
show only financial status for only short period. So, effective tool can be used to find the
financial strength of an organization in order to avoid the mess of re-payment to the bank.
¾ Working capital Assessment finds only some marginal status of company’s financial
strength. In order to find the weakness of the company’s financial status tools like capital
budgeting, fund flow statement, cash flow statement etc., should use by the bank.
70
6.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF OBSERVATION
¾ The documents required for processing the loan and time should be reduced. The bank
should focus more on advertising to increase awareness among the public about the
services that it offers.
¾ The bank should completely eliminate the file system and go computerization at every
stage as this removes paper work and creates transparency in the system. The bank
should work on standardizing the processes and systems their follow.
¾ Care must be taken to ensure that the judgment in appraisal process does not depend on
one single person and a single factor. Need for improvised methods that are on par with
international standards. Revising the factors on which appraisal is done to face the ever
increasing violability
¾ Bank provide loan on the basis of only re-payment capacity of the borrower and hence it
is suggested to adopt some modern methods to appraise the loan to the business to check
the feasibility of the project for appraising such high amount of loan.
71
CHAPTER 7
SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
As per the analysis done the result that has been got is good enough to justify that this Proposal
has the entire required Criteria’s and Qualities required by the bank. And it is also expected to
give a very good return and value to the company. The financial tools used for assessing is more
appropriate to this project and the values are also favorable to the company to be considered by
the bank for sanctioning the loan. I like to conclude by saying that this Project Proposal should
be accepted as it is seems to be good and looks more feasible by satisfying the criteria of the
bank.
Direction for Future research
The examiner's evaluation of a bank's lending policies, credit administration, and the quality of
the loan portfolio is among the most important aspects of the examination process. To a great
extent, it is the quality of a bank's loan portfolio that determines the risk to depositors and to the
FDIC's insurance fund. Conclusions regarding the bank's condition and the quality of its
management are weighted heavily by the examiner's findings with regard to lending practices.
Emphasis on review and appraisal of the loan portfolio and its administration by bank
management during examinations recognizes, that loans comprise a major portion of most bank's
assets; and, that it is the asset category which ordinarily presents the greatest credit risk and
potential loss exposure to banks. Moreover, pressure for increased profitability, liquidity
considerations, and a vastly more complex society have produced great innovations in credit
instruments and approaches to lending. Loans have consequently become much more complex.
Examiners therefore find it necessary to devote a large portion of time and attention to loan
portfolio examination.
Loan Administration
Lending Policies
The examiner's evaluation of the loan portfolio involves much more than merely appraising
individual loans. Prudent management and administration of the overall loan account, including
establishment of sound lending and collection policies, are of vital importance if the bank is to be
continuously operated in an acceptable manner.
72
Lending policies should be clearly defined and set forth in such a manner as to provide effective
supervision by the directors and senior officers. The board of directors of every bank has the
legal responsibility to formulate lending policies and to supervise their implementation.
Therefore examiners should encourage establishment and maintenance of written, up to date
lending policies which have been approved by the board of directors. A lending policy should
not be a static document, but must be reviewed periodically and revised in light of changing
circumstances surrounding the borrowing needs of the bank's customers as well as changes that
may occur within the bank itself. To a large extent, the economy of the community served by the
bank dictates the composition of the loan portfolio. The widely divergent circumstances of
regional economies and the considerable variance in characteristics of individual loans preclude
establishment of standard or universal lending policies. There are, however, certain broad areas
of consideration and concern that should be addressed in the lending policies of all banks
regardless of size or location. These include the following, as minimums:
• General fields of lending in which the bank will engage and the kinds or types of
loans within each general field;
• Lending authority of each loan officer;
• Lending authority of a loan or executive committee, if any;
• Responsibility of the board of directors in reviewing, ratifying, or approving
loans;
• Guidelines under which unsecured loans will be granted;
• Guidelines for rates of interest and the terms of repayment for secured and
unsecured loans;
• Limitations on the amount advanced in relation to the value of the collateral and
the documentation required by the bank for each type of secured loan;
• Guidelines for obtaining and reviewing real estate appraisals as well as for
ordering reappraisals, when needed;
• Maintenance and review of complete and current credit files on each borrower;
• Appropriate and adequate collection procedures including, but not limited to,
actions to be taken against borrowers who fail to make timely payments;
• Limitations on the maximum volume of loans in relation to total assets;
73
• Limitations on the extension of credit through overdrafts;
• Description of the bank's normal trade area and circumstances under which the
bank may extend credit outside of such area;
• Guidelines, which at a minimum, address the goals for portfolio mix and risk
diversification and cover the bank's plans for monitoring and taking appropriate
corrective action, if deemed necessary, on any concentrations that may exist;
• Guidelines addressing the bank's loan review and grading system ("Watch list");
• Guidelines addressing the bank's review of the Allowance for Loan and Lease
Losses (ALLL); and
• Guidelines for adequate safeguards to minimize potential environmental liability.
The above are only as guidelines for areas that should be considered during the loan policy
evaluation. Examiners should also encourage management to develop specific guidelines for
each lending department or function. As with overall lending policies, it is not the FDIC's intent
to suggest universal or standard loan policies for specific types of credit. The establishment of
these policies is the responsibility of each bank's Board and management. Therefore, the
following discussion of basic principles applicable to various types of credit will not include or
allude to acceptable ratios, levels, comparisons or terms. These matters should, however, be
addressed in each bank's lending policy, and it will be the examiner's responsibility to determine
whether the policies are realistic and being followed.
Much of the rest of this section of the Manual discusses areas that should be considered in the
bank's lending policies. Guidelines for their consideration are discussed under the appropriate
areas.

The complexity and scope of a loan review system will vary based upon an institution's size, type
of operations, and management practices. Systems may include components that are independent
of the lending function, or may place some reliance on loan officers. Although smaller
institutions are not expected to maintain separate loan review departments, it is essential that all
institutions have an effective loan review system. Regardless of its complexity, an effective loan
review system is generally designed to address the following objectives:
Credit grading systems often place primary reliance on loan officers for identifying emerging
credit problems. However, given the importance and subjective nature of credit grading, a loan
officer's judgement regarding the assignment of a particular credit grade should generally be
subject to review. Reviews may be performed by peers, superiors, loan committee(s), or other
internal or external credit review specialists. Credit grading reviews performed by individuals
75
independent of the lending function are preferred because they can often provide a more
objective assessment of credit quality. A loan review system should, at a minimum, include the
following:
• A formal credit grading system that can be reconciled with the framework
used by Federal regulatory agencies;
• An identification of loans or loan pools that warrant special attention;
• A mechanism for reporting identified loans, and any corrective action
taken, to senior management and the board of directors; and
• Documentation of an institution's credit loss experience for various
components of the loan and lease portfolio.
