1.1 Introduction
In recent days, people are becoming more aware about the management of their resources. As
the banks do business by lending their depositors' money, they are more responsible to
manage their credit portfolio smoothly. Bank's reputation is a critical factor for its success
and therefore Govt. banks must follow appropriate guidelines, policies and relevant manuals
regarding credit extension and recovery. The usage of banking service for any type of
financial activities is increasing day by day. People are taking loans not only to start
businesses but also it uses other purposes. It is now most important to know the internal
credit processes of the banks.

1.2 Background of the Report


A developed banking sector plays a vital role for financial stability of a country. In the BBA
program, the internship is a vital parts, which has to be done by most of the student. The
internship program provides an opportunity for the student to minimize the gap between
theoretical and practical knowledge and will help in practical life. After completing my BBA
as a student I wanted to complete my Internship program from a reputed Bank which would
be helpful for my future professional career. I got this great opportunity to perform my
internship program in the JANATA BANK LIMITED. I have completed internship program
based on theoretical and practical knowledge. I was sent to Shilpa Nagari Branch. It was
three months practical orientation program. I have worked in Regulatory Reporting
Department mainly but I had to work on others departments like ShanchayPatra department
and Loans and Advance as I was an Intern. As a Finance and Banking student I liked to
choose Credit Risk Management as the topic of my internship report.

1.3 Problem Statements

1.4 Origin of the Report


It is said that without theory, practice is blind and without practice theory is meaningless. An
internship is designed to bridge the gap between the theoretical knowledge and real
application. The prime reason of this report is to learn about credit risk minimization process
of a Bank. This report has been prepared based on one selected listed Bank in Bangladesh,
named Janata Bank Limited. The report has-been prepared based on the information of this
bank which has been gathered during the internship period. The report titled “Credit Risk
Management of Janata Bank Limited”. No knowledge is fully complete unless it is fully
supported by events on ground. Whatever may be the quality of theoretical knowledge, it is
not complete without practical implication on ground. This realization is more pronounced in
the study of Business Administration where experience on ground plays a dominant role.
Internship program is essential for BBA students because it helps him/her acquit with real life
situation. Bank is a one of the important financial institutions, so I have selected Janata Bank
Limited, which is one of the leading Govt. commercial banks in Bangladesh. For this reason I
have prepared my internship report on Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited.
Throughout the last few years Bangladesh has-been experiencing a rapid and significant
change in the banking sector. Not only in our country, all over the world the dimension of
banking has been changing rapidly due to the technological innovation, globalization and
deregulation. Janata Bank Ltd a state owned scheduled bank in Bangladesh. It has a vital
contribution towards lending and investment in economy because Janata Bank Ltd. has been
participating in all sectors (from industrial sector to microfinance).

CHAPTER-2
LITERATURE REVIEW

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 7


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

Loans that constitute a large proportion of the assets in most banks' portfolios are
relatively illiquid and exhibit the highest CR (Koch and MacDonald, 2000). The theory
of asymmetric information argues that it may be impossible to distinguish good
borrowers from bad borrowers (Auronen, 2003), which may result in adverse selection
and moral hazards problems. Adverse selection and moral hazards have led to substantial
accumulation of non‐performing accounts in banks (Bester, 1994; Bofondi and Gobbi,
2003). The very existence of banks is often interpreted in terms of its superior ability to
overcome three basic problems of information asymmetry, namely ex ante, interim and
ex post (Uyemura and Deventer, 1993). The management of CR in banking industry
follows the process of risk identification, measurement, assessment, monitoring and
control. It involves identification of potential risk factors, estimate their consequences,
monitor activities exposed to the identified risk factors and put in place control measures
to prevent or reduce the undesirable effects. This process is applied within the strategic
and operational framework of the bank.

Several risk‐adjusted performance measures have been proposed (Heffernan,


1996; Kealhofer, 2003). The measures, however, focus on risk‐return trade‐off, i.e.
measuring the risk inherent in each activity or product and charge it accordingly for the
capital required to support it. This does not solve the issue of recovering loanable
amount. Effective system that ensures repayment of loans by borrowers is critical in
dealing with asymmetric information problems and in reducing the level of loan losses,
thus the long‐term success of any banking organization (Basel, 1999; IAIS, 2003).
Effective CRM involves establishing an appropriate CR environment; operating under a
sound credit granting process; maintaining an appropriate credit administration that
involves monitoring process as well as adequate controls over CR (Basel,
1999; Greuning and Bratanovic, 2003; IAIS, 2003). It requires top management to ensure
that there are proper and clear guidelines in managing CR, i.e. all guidelines are properly
communicated throughout the organization; and that everybody involved in CRM
understand them.

Considerations that form the basis for sound CRM system include: policy and strategies
(guidelines) that clearly outline the scope and allocation of a bank credit facilities and
the manner in which a credit portfolio is managed, i.e. how loans are originated,
appraised, supervised and collected (Basel, 1999; Greuning and Bratanovic, 2003)has
been recommended by, among others, Derban et al. (2005). The recommendation has
been widely put to use in the banking sector in the form of credit assessment. According
to the asymmetric information theory, a collection of reliable information from
prospective borrowers becomes critical in accomplishing effective screening.

The assessment of borrowers can be performed through the use of qualitative as well as
quantitative techniques. One major challenge of using qualitative models is their
subjective nature (Bryant, 1999; Chijoriga, 1997). However, borrowers attributes
assessed through qualitative models can be assigned numbers with the sum of the values
compared to a threshold. This technique is termed as “credit scoring” (Heffernan,
1996; Uyemura and Deventer, 1993). The technique cannot only minimize processing
costs but also reduce subjective judgments and possible biases (Kraft, 2000;Bluhm et al.,
2003; Derban et al., 2005). The rating systems if meaningful should signal changes in
expected level of loan loss (Santomero, 1997). Chijoriga (1997)concluded that
quantitative models make it possible to, among others, numerically establish which
factors are important in explaining default risk, evaluate the relative degree of
importance of the factors, improve the pricing of default risk, be more able to screen out
bad loan applicants and be in a better position to calculate any reserve needed to meet
expected future loan losses.

Clear established process for approving new credits and extending the existing credits
has been observed to be very important while managing CR (Heffernan, 1996). Further,
monitoring of borrowers is very important as current and potential exposures change
with both the passage of time and the movements in the underlying variables
(Donaldson, 1994; Mwisho, 2001), and also very important in dealing with moral hazard
problem (Derban et al., 2005). Monitoring involves, among others, frequent contact with
borrowers, creating an environment that the bank can be seen as a solver of problems and

trusted adviser; develop the culture of being supportive to borrowers whenever they are
recognized to be in difficulties and are striving to deal with the situation; monitoring the
flow of borrower's business through the bank's account; regular review of the borrower's
reports as well as an on‐site visit; updating borrowers credit files and periodically
reviewing the borrowers rating assigned at the time the credit was granted (Donaldson,
1994; Treacy and Carey, 1998; Tummala and Burchett, 1999; Mwisho, 2001).

Tools like covenants, collateral, credit rationing, loan securitization and loan syndication
have been used by banks in developing the world in controlling credit losses (Benveniste
and Berger, 1987; Greenbaum and Thakor, 1987; Berger and Udell, 1992; Hugh, 2001).
It has also been observed that high‐quality CRM staffs are critical to ensure that the
depth of knowledge and judgment needed is always available, thus successfully
managing the CR in the CBs (Koford and Tschoegl, 1997;Wyman, 1999). Donaldson
(1999) and Jeremy and Stein (1999) observed that computers are useful in credit
analysis, monitoring and control, as they make it easy to keep track on trend of credits
within the portfolio. Marphatia and Tiwari (2004) argued that risk management is
primarily about people – how they think and how they interact with one another.
Technology is just a tool; in the wrong hands it is useless. This stresses further the
critical importance of qualified staff in managing CR. presents a summary of the CRM
system as explained in the literature.

Credit risk can be classified in the following way:

Credit default risk- The risk of loss arising from a debtor being unlikely to pay its loan
obligations in full or the debtor is more than 90 days past due on any material credit
obligation. Default risk may impact all credit-sensitive transactions, including loans,
securities and derivatives.

Concentration risk - The risk associated with any single exposure or group of exposures with
the potential to produce large enough losses to threaten a bank's core operations. It may arise
in the form of single name concentration or industry concentration.

Country risk - The risk of loss arising from sovereign state freezing foreign currency
payments (transfer/conversion risk) or when it defaults on its obligations (sovereign risk).

4.5 Principle of credit Risk management


The management of credit risk is essential to a sound credit management process, the basic
principles a bank has to follow in its credit risk management are:

Background, Character and ability of the borrowers


Purpose of the facility
Term of facility

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 43


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

Safety and Security


Profitability
Source of repayment
Diversity of loan portfolio

4.6 Under credit risk management the following tasks are also done

Collect all relevant data from different models and information systems for analyzing
risk.
Assess the quality, completeness and correctness of all relevant data needed to analyze
risks.
Highlight risky portfolios and deficiencies of the bank on timely manner with
recommendations and suggestions.
Analyze data through preparation of paper named risk management paper.
Identify, evaluate, control and monitor major risks in line with the standard set in the
policy guideline to avoid necessary loss and ensure the banks in pricing
all risk correctly .
Review market conditions and take precautionary measures towards facing abnormal
market situation.
Ensure through independent oversight that different risks are identified, evaluated,
monitored and reported within the established risk management frame work.

4.7 Tools used in Credit Risk Management


The quality of the credit portfolio of banks depends to large extent on the quality of its
borrower.
To judge the quality of a borrower the bank s takes into consideration the following:

a) Character: It refers to the willingness of the customers to pay.


b) Capacity: The customer’s ability to meet credit obligations.
c) Capital: The customer’s financial reserves
d) Collateral: Adequate net worth to support for the loan
e) Conditions(economic)Recent trends in borrower line of credit
f) Compliance( law & regulations)

4.8 Definition of Credit Risk Grading (CRG)

The Credit Risk Grading (CRG) is a collective definition based on the pre- specified scale
and reflects the underlying credit-risk for a given exposure.

A Credit Risk Grading deploys a number/ alphabet/ symbol as a primary summary indicator
of risks associated with a credit exposure.

Credit Risk Grading is the basic module for developing a Credit Risk Management system.

4.9 Use of Credit Risk Grading

Janata Bank Ltd. applies the following credit risk grading matrix as provided by Bangladesh
Bank guidelines.

Risk Rating Grade Definition


Superior-Low 1 Facilities are fully secured by cash deposits,
Risk government bonds or a counter guarantee from a top tier
international bank. All security documentation should
be in place.
Good- 2 The repayment capacity of the borrower is strong. The
Satisfactory borrower should have excellent liquidity and low
Risk leverage. The company should demonstrate consistently
strong earnings and cash flow and have anJBL
enmeshed track record. All security documentation
should be in place. Aggregate Score of 95 or greater
based on the Risk Grade Scorecard.
Acceptable – 3 Adequate financial condition though may not be able to
Fair Risk sustain any major or continued setbacks. These
borrowers are not as strong as Grade 2 borrowers,
but should still demonstrate consistent earnings, cash
flow and have a good track record. A borrower should
not be graded better than 3 if realistic audited financial
statements are not received. These assets would
normally be secured by acceptable collateral (1st charge
over stocks / debtors / equipment / property). Borrowers
should have adequate liquidity, cash flow and earnings.

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 45


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

An Aggregate Score of 75-94 based on the Risk Grade


Scorecard.
Marginal- 4 Grade 4 assets warrant greater attention due to
Watch list conditions affecting the borrower, the industry or the
economic environment.
These borrowers have an above average risk due to
strained
liquidity, higher than normal leverage, thin cash flow
and/or
inconsistent earnings. Facilities should be downgraded
to 4 if the borrower incurs a loss, loan payments
routinely fall past due, account conduct is poor, or other
untoward factors are present.
An Aggregate Score of 65-74 based on the Risk Grade
Scorecard.
Special 5 Grade 5 assets have potential weaknesses that
Mention deserve
management’s close attention. Facilities should be
downgraded to 5 if sustained deterioration in
financial condition is noted (consecutive losses,
negative net worth, excessive leverage), if loan
payments remain past due for 30-60 days, or if a
significant petition or claim is lodged against the
borrower. Full repayment of facilities is still expected
and interest can still be taken into profits. An Aggregate
Score of 55-64 based on the Risk Grade Scorecard.
Substandard 6 Financial condition is weak and capacity or inclination
to repay is in doubt. Loans should be downgraded to 6
if loan payments remain past due for 60-90 days, if the
customer intends to create a lender group for debt
restructuring purposes, the operation has ceased trading
or any indication suggesting the winding up or closure
of the borrower is discovered. An Aggregate Score of

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 46


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

45-54 based on the Risk Grade Scorecard.


Doubtful and 7 Full repayment of principal and interest is unlikely and
Bad the possibility of loss is extremely high. However, due
(non- to specifically identifiable pending factors, such as
performing) litigation, liquidation procedures or capital injection,
the asset is not yet classified as Loss. Assets should be
downgraded to 7 if loan payments remain past due in
excess of 90 days, and interest income should be taken
into suspense (nonaccrual). Loan loss provisions must
be raised against the estimated unrealizable amount of
all facilities.
The adequacy of provisions must be reviewed at least
quarterly on all non-performing loans, and the bank
should pursue legal options to enforce security to obtain
repayment or negotiate an appropriate loan
rescheduling. In all cases, the requirements of
Bangladesh Bank in CIB reporting, loan rescheduling
and provisioning must be followed. An Aggregate
Score of 35-44 based on the Risk Grade Scorecard
Loss 8 Assets graded 8 are long outstanding with no
(non- progress in
performing) obtaining repayment (in excess of 180 days past due) or
in the late stages of wind up/liquidation. The prospect
of recovery is poor and legal options have been
pursued. The proceeds expected from the liquidation or
realization of security may be awaited.
The continuance of the loan as a bankable asset is not
warranted, and the anticipated loss should have been
provided for.
Bangladesh Bank guidelines for timely write off of bad
loans
must be adhered to. An Aggregate Score of 35 or less
based on the Risk Grade Scorecard

Industry Best Practices, Managing Core Risks of Financial Institutions, Bangladesh Bank)

If any facility is to be downgraded, the RM prepares The Early Alert Report and it is duly
forwarded to the higher authority for approval. After approval, the report is forwarded to
Credit Administration, who is responsible to ensure the correct facility/borrower Risk Grades
are updated on the system.

4.10 Credit Risk Management Process


The Credit Risk Management Division is vital for the efficient functioning of JBL. It
critically scrutinizes the credit proposals from risk weighted point of view before sanctioning
approvals ensuring a high quality credit portfolio. The goal of credit riskmanagement is to
maximize a bank's risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining creditrisk exposure within
acceptable parameters. Banks need to manage the credit riskinherent in the entire portfolio as
well as the risk in individual credits or transactions.
The credit risk management process of Janata Bank Ltd. covers the following tasks:

a) Credit Processing/Appraisal
b) Credit Approval/Sanction
c) Credit Documentation
d) Credit Administration
e)Disbursement
f) Monitoring and Control of Individual Credits
g) Monitoring the Overall Credit Portfolio (stress testing)
h) Credit Classification
i) Disbursement of Loan
j) Classified Loans
k) Recovery of Loan

a. Credit Processing/Appraisal
Credit processing is the stage where all required information on credit is gathered
andapplications are screened. Credit application forms should be sufficiently detailed
topermit gathering of all information needed for credit assessment at the outset. In

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 48


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

thisconnection, financial institutions should have a checklist to ensure that all


requiredinformation is, in fact, collected. Financial institutions should set out pre-
qualificationscreening criteria, which would act as a guide for their officers to determine the
typesof credit that are acceptable. For instance, the criteria may include rejectingapplications
from blacklisted customers. These criteria would help institutions avoidprocessing and
screening applications that would be later rejected. The next stage tocredit screening is credit
appraisal where the financial institution assesses thecustomer’s ability to meet his obligations.
Institutions should establish well designedcredit appraisal criteria to ensure that facilities are
granted only to creditworthycustomers who can make repayments from reasonably
determinable sources of cashflow on a timely basis.
As a general rule, the appraisal criteria will focus on:
-amount and purpose of facilities and sources of repayment;
-integrity and reputation of the applicant as well as his legal capacity toassume the credit
obligation;
-risk profile of the borrower and the sensitivity of the applicable industrysector to economic
fluctuations;
-physical inspection of the borrower’s business premises as well as thefacility that is the
subject of the proposed financing;
-current and forecast operating environment of the borrower;management capacity of
corporate customers.

b. Credit Approval/Sanction
A financial institution must have in place writtenprocess and the approval authorities of
individuals or committees as well as the basisof those decisions. Approval authorities should
be sanctioned by the board ofdirectors. Approval authorities will cover new credit appcredits,
and changes in terms and conditions of previously approved credits,particularly credit
restructuring, all of which should be fully documented andrecorded. Prudent credit practice
requires that persons empowered withapproval authority should not also have the customer
relationship responsibility.Depending on the size of the financial institution, it should develop
a corps of creditrisk specialists who have high level expertise and experience and
demonstratejudgment in assessing, approving and managing credit risk. An accountability
regimeshould beestablished for the decisiontrail of decisions taken, with proper identification
of individuals/committees involveAll this must be properly documented.

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 49

c. Credit Documentation
Documentation is an essential part of the credit process and is required for each phaseSof the
credit cycle, including credit application, credit analysis, credit approval, creditmonitoring,
and collateral valuation, and impairment recognition, foreclosure ofimpaired loan and
realization of security. The format of credit files must bestandardized and files neatly
maintained with an appropriate system of cross-indexingto facilitate review and follow
up.The Bangladesh Bank will pay particular attention to the quality of files and thesystems in
place for their maintenance. Documentation establishes the relationshipbetween the financial
institution and the borrower and forms the basis for any legal action in a court of law.
Institutions must ensure that contractual agreements with their borrowers are vetted by their
legal advisers. For security reasons, financial institutions should consider keeping only the
copies of critical documents (i.e., those of legal value, facility letters, and signed loan
agreements) in credit files while retaining the originals in more secure custody. Credit files
should also be stored in fire-proof cabinets and should not be removed from the
institution’spremises. Financial institutions should maintain a checklist that can show that all
their policies and procedures ranging from receiving the credit application to the
disbursement of funds have been complied with. The checklist should also include the
identity of individual(s) and/or committee(s) involved in the decision-making process.

d. Credit Administration
The Credit Administration function is critical in ensuring that proper documentation and
approvals are in place prior to the disbursement of loan facilities. For this reason, it is
essential that the functions of Credit Administration be strictly segregated from Relationship
Management/Marketing in order to avoid the possibility of control being compromised or
issues not being highlighted at the appropriate level. A financial institution’s credit
administration function should, as a minimum, ensure that
:
-Credit Administration procedures should be in place to ensure the following. credit files are
neatly organized, cross-indexed, and their removal from the premises is not permitted;
-the borrower has registered the required insurance policy in favor of the bank and is
regularly paying the premiums;
-credit facilities are disbursed only after all the contractual terms and conditions have been
met and all the required documents have beenreceived;
-collateral value is regularly monitored;

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 50


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

-the borrower is making timely repayments on interest, principal and any agreed to fees and
commissions;
-the established policies and procedures as well as relevant laws and regulations are complied
with; and
-On-site inspection visits of the borrower’s business are regularly conducted and assessments
documented.

e. Disbursement
Once the credit is approved, the customer should be advised of the terms and conditions of
the credit by wa5y of a letter of offer. The duplicate of this letter should be duly signed and
returned to the institution by the customer. The facility disbursement process should start
only upon receipt of this letter and should involve,inter alia, the completion of formalities
regarding documentation, the registration of collateral, insurance cover in the institution’s
favor and the vetting of documents by algal expert. Under no circumstances shall funds be
released prior to compliance withpre-disbursement conditions and approval by the relevant
authorities in the financial institution.

f. Monitoring and Control of Individual Credits


To safeguard financial institutions against potential losses, problem facilities need to be
identified early. A proper credit monitoring system will provide the basis for taking prompt
corrective actions when warning signs point to deterioration in the financial health of the
borrower. Examples of such warning signs include unauthorized drawings, arrears in capital
and interest and deterioration in the borrower’s operating environment. Financial institutions
must have a system in place to formally review the status of the credit and the financial health
of the borrower at least once a year. More frequent reviews (e.g at least quarterly) should be
carried out of large credits, problem credits or when the operating environment of the
customer is undergoing significantchanges. In broad terms, the monitoring activity of the
institution will ensure that:

-funds advanced are used only for the purpose stated in the customer’s credit application;
-financial condition of a borrower is regularly tracked and management advised in a timely
fashion;
-collateral coverage is regularly assessed and related to the borrower’s financial health;
-The institution’s internal risk ratings reflect the current condition of the customer.

g. Monitoring the Overall Credit Portfolio (stress testing)


An important element of sound credit risk management is analyzing what could potentially
go wrong with individual credits and the overall credit portfolio if conditions/environment in
which borrowers operate change significantly. The results of this analysis should then be
factored into the assessment of the adequacy of provisioning and capital of the institution.
Such stress analysis can reveal previously undetected areas of potential credit risk exposure
that could arise in times of crisis. Possible scenarios that financial institutions should consider
in carrying out stress testing include:
-Significant economic or industry sector downturns;
-Adverse market-risk events; and
-Unfavorable liquidity conditions.
Financial institutions should have industry profiles in respect of all industries where they
have significant exposures. Such profiles must be reviewed /updated every year. Each stress
test should be followed by a contingency plan as regards recommended corrective actions.
Senior management must regularly review the results of stress tests and contingency plans.
The results must serve as an important input into a review of credit risk management
framework and setting limits and provisioning levels.

h. Credit Classification
It is required for the board of directors of a financial institution to “establish credit risk
management policy, and credit impairment recognition and measurement policy, the
associated internal controls, documentation processes and information systems;”Credit
classification process grades individual credits in terms of the expected degree of
recoverability. Financial institutions must have in place the processes and controls to
implement the board approved policies, which will, in turn, be in accord with the proposed
guideline. They should have appropriate criteria for credit provisioning and write off.
International Accounting Standard 39 requires that financial institutions shall, in addition to
individual credit provisioning, assess credit impairment and ensuing provisioning on a credit
portfolio basis. Financial institutions must, therefore, establish appropriate systems and
processes to identify credits with similar characteristics in order to assess the degree of their
recoverability on a portfolio basis. Financial institutions should establish appropriate systems
and controls to ensure that collateral continues to be legally valid and enforceable and its net
realizable value improperly determined. This is particularly important for any delinquent
credits, before netting off the collateral’s value against the outstanding amount of the credit

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 52


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

for determining provision. As to any guarantees given in support of credits, financial


institutions must establish procedures for verifying periodically the net worth of the
guarantor.

i. Classified Loans
Banks are financial service firm, producing and selling professional management of the
public’s funds as well as performing many other roles in the economy. But now-days
commercial banks are not performing their activities smoothly for a large burden of default
loan. Every year Janata Bank distributes thousand core taka among individuals, organizations
etc. but a large sum of these distributed fund cannot be recovered in due time. The Bank has
to classify this loan.
-Signs for Classification
First and foremost requirement for any and all credit managers is to identify problem credit in
its earlier stages by recognizing the signs of deterioration. Such signs include but not limited
to the following:
-Non-payment of interest or principal or both on due dates or past dues beyond reasonable
period or recurring past dues.
-In case of Overdraft no movement in the account beyond a reasonable period.
-Deterioration in financial condition of the client, as gathered from client’s latest financial
statement.
-A shortfall in collateral coverage, particularly if the collateral was a key factoring the
decision-making.
-Death or withdraw of key-owners or management personnel.
-Company filing for bankruptcy or voluntary dissolution.
-Adverse market report about the company itself or its principal owners.
-Loan Classification Guidelines from Bangladesh Bank
Classification of overdue loans and advances opened a new era in the credit management of
commercial banks in Bangladesh. Before 1989 no specific guidelines were followed by the
commercial banks for this purpose. In 1989, Bangladesh Bank issued BCD circular
No.34/1989 stating specific rules and conditions of loan classification. After that each
schedule banks except BKB, RAKUB, and BSB would-be responsible for its own loan
classification according to the guidelines ispresented in the following table:

According to this circular loans and advances were classified on a loan by loan basis rather
sample classification. This process was continued till 1994. Bangladesh Bank further issued a
circular in1995 (BCD circular#20/1994). The title of the circular was “Revised rules of
classification and provisioning of loans and advances,” which came into implementation from
January 1, 1995

The Recovery procedure of Janata Bank is the ultimate combination of time, effort of money.
It follows several procedural steps to recover the lending amount, which isjoint effort of
Bank, society and legal institutions. There are several programs taken by the bank to recover
the disbursed loans. They are discussed hereafter.

j. Programs for Loan Recovery


When Janata Bank sanctions loans and advances to its customers, they clearly state the
repayment pattern in the loan agreement. But some credit holders do not pay their credit in
due period. The nationalized and private sector commercial banks have to face this sort of
problems. This situation is especially severe in Janata Bank. To overcome the problem of
overdue loan, the bank needs to take some particular loan recovery programs. They are:

1.Establishing credit supervision and monitoring cell in the bank


2.Re-structuring the loan sanctioning and distributing policy of the bank
3.Sanctioning loans and advances against sufficient securities as best as possible
4.Giving more powers to the branch manager in credit management decision-making process
5.Offering a package of incentives to the sound borrowers
6.Giving more emphasis on short term loans and advances
7.Imposing restrictions on loans and advances for sick industries
8.Taking legal actions quickly against unsound borrowers as best as possible within the
period specified by the law of limitations.

-Steps for Loan Recovery Against Defaulters


The following steps are taken by Janata Bank Ltd against the defaulters for recovery of loan:

Emending the party to repay the loan after validity dates:


First of all, the Credit Administration division reminds the borrower about the remaining days
to repay the loan mentioning the validity dates from time to time.

i. Send final notice: If the borrower fails to repay the loan within the sanctioned period for
repayment then he or she is given an additional period for the repayment of the loan attaching
a final notice for the repayment as well.

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 56


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

ii. Send legal notice: When the borrower fails to repay the loan even after the additional
period and the final notice, the credit administration of JBL sends algal notice to the borrower
mentioning that if he or she is not capable to repay the loan within a specific time then the
bank will file a suit in the court against him or her.

iii. Eventually sue a case against the party: Finally, the bank, not getting any repayment
from the borrower, suits a case against the defaulter according to the respective law. Then the
decision of the court will be final for the recovery process and both the party and bank will
have to abide by the law. These are the general procedures for recovery of loan followed by
Janata Bank Ltd.

Amendment of section 13 of Act N.14 of 1991: In section 13 of the said Act- the words
"previous financial year", wherever they are mentioned, the words "accounting year" the
following explanation shall be added, namely: - "For the purpose of this section, demand
liabilities and temporary liabilities shall not include the paid-up capital, the consolidated
fund, the liabilities shown in the profit and loss account and loans received from the
Bangladesh Bank and interbank liabilities."

INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES AS SUGGESTD BY BANGLADESH BANK

4.11 Policy Guidelines


This section details fundamental credit risk management policies that are recommended for
adoption by all banks in Bangladesh. The guidelines contained herein outline general
principles that are designed to govern the implementation of more detailed lending
procedures and risk grading systems within individual banks.
Lending Guidelines:
All banks should have established Credit Policies (“Lending Guidelines”) that clearly outline
the senior management’s view of business development priorities and the terms and
conditions that should be adhered to in order for loans to be approved. The Lending
Guidelines should be updated at least annually to reflect changes in the economic outlook and
the evolution of the bank’s loan portfolio, and be distributed to all lending/marketing officers.
The Lending Guidelines should be approved by the Managing Director/CEO & Board of
Directors of the bank based on the endorsement of the bank’s Head of Credit Risk

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 57


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

Management and the Head of Corporate/Commercial Banking. (Section 2.1 of these


guidelines refers) Any departure or deviation from the Lending Guidelines should be
explicitly identified in credit applications and a justification for approval provided. Approval
of loans that do not comply with Lending Guidelines should be restricted to the bank’s Head
of Credit or Managing Director/CEO & Board of Directors. The Lending Guidelines should
provide the key foundations for account officers/relationship managers (RM) to formulate
their recommendations for approval, and should include the following:

Industry and Business Segment Focus:


The Lending Guidelines should clearly identify the business/industry sectors that should
constitute the majority of the bank’s loan portfolio. For each sector, a clear indication of the
bank’s appetite for growth should be indicated (as an example, Textiles: Grow, Cement:
Maintain, Construction: Shrink). This will provide necessary direction to the bank’s
marketing staff.

Types of Loan Facilities:


The type of loans that are permitted should be clearly indicated, such as Working Capital,
Trade Finance, Term Loan, etc.

Cross Border Risk:


Risk associated with cross border lending. Borrowers of a particular country may be unable
or unwilling to fulfill principle and/or interest obligations. Distinguished from ordinary credit
risk because the difficulty arises from a political event, such as suspension of external
payments
o Synonymous with political & sovereign risk
o Third world debt crisis. For example, export documents negotiated for
countries like Nigeria.

4.12 Credit Assessment & Risk Grading

• Credit Assessment
A thorough credit and risk assessment should be conducted prior to the granting of
loans, and at least annually thereafter for all facilities. The results of this assessment

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 58


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

should be presented in a Credit Application that originates from the relationship


manager/account officer (“RM”), and is approved by Credit Risk Management
(CRM). The RM should be the owner of the customer relationship, and must be held
responsible to ensure the accuracy of the entire credit application submitted for
approval. RMs must be familiar with the bank’s Lending Guidelines and should
conduct due diligence on new borrowers, principals, and guarantors. It is essential that
RMs know their customers and conduct due diligence on new borrowers, principals,
and guarantors to ensure such parties are in fact who they represent themselves to be.
All banks should have established Know Your Customer (KYC) and Money
Laundering guidelines which should be adhered to at all times. Credit Applications
should summaries the results of the RMs risk assessment and include, as a minimum,
the following details:
o Amount and type of loan(s) proposed.
o Purpose of loans.
o Loan Structure (Tenor, Covenants, Repayment Schedule, Interest)
o Security Arrangements.

In addition, the following risk areas should be addressed:

• Borrower Analysis:
The majority shareholders, management team and group or affiliate companies should
be assessed. Any issues regarding lack of management depth, complicated ownership
structures or intergroup transactions should be addressed, and risks mitigated Industry
analysis.

• Supplier/Buyer Analysis. Any customer or supplier concentration should be


addressed, as these could have a significant impact on the future viability of the
borrower.

• Historical Financial Analysis. An analysis of a minimum of 3 years historical


financial statements of the borrower should be presented. Where reliance is placed on
a corporate guarantor, guarantor financial statements should also be analyses. The
analysis should address the quality and sustainability of earnings, cash flow and the

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 59


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

strength of the borrower’s balance sheet. Specifically, cash flow, leverage and
profitability must be analyzed.

• Projected Financial Performance: Where term facilities are being proposed,


projection of the borrower’s future financial performance should be provided,
indicating an analysis of the sufficiency of cash flow to service debt repayments.
Loans should not be granted if projected cash flow is insufficient to repay debts.

• Account Conduct: For existing borrowers, the historic performance in meeting


repayment obligations (trade payments, cheques, interest and principal payments, etc)
should be assessed.

• Adherence to Lending Guidelines: Credit Applications should clearly state whether


or not the proposed application is in compliance with the bank’s Lending Guidelines.
The Bank’s Head of Credit or Managing Director/CEO should approve Credit
Applications that do not adhere to the bank’s Lending Guidelines.
.
• Loan Structure: The amounts and tenors of financing proposed should be justified
based on the projected repayment ability and loan purpose. Excessive tenor or amount
relative to business needs increases the risk of fund diversion and may adversely
impact the borrower’s repayment ability.
• Security: A current valuation of collateral should be obtained and the quality and
priority of security being proposed should be assessed. Loans should not be granted
based solely on security. Adequacy and the extent of the insurance coverage should be
assessed.
• Name Lending: Credit proposals should not be unduly influenced by an over reliance
on the sponsoring principal’s reputation, reported independent means, or their
perceived willingness to inject funds into various business enterprises in case of need.
These situations should be discouraged and treated with great caution. Rather, credit
proposals and the granting of loans should be based on sound fundamentals,
supported by a thorough financial and risk analysis. Appendix iv contains a template
for credit application.
• Risk grading

Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

All Banks should adopt a credit risk grading system. The system should define the
risk profile of borrower’s to ensure that account management, structure and pricing
are commensurate with the risk involved. Risk grading is a key measurement of a
bank’s asset quality, and as such, it is essential that grading is a robust process. All
facilities should be assigned a risk grade. Where deterioration in risk is noted, the
Risk Grade assigned to a borrower and its facilities should be immediately changed.
Borrower Risk Grades should be clearly stated on Credit Applications. The following
Risk Grade Matrix is provided as an example. The more conservative risk grade
(higher) should be applied if there is a difference between the personal judgment and
the Risk Grade Scorecard results. It is recognized that the banks may have more or
less Risk Grades; however, monitoring standards and account management must be
appropriate given the assigned Risk Grade:

4.13 Approval Authority, Segregation of Duties & Internal Audit

Approval Authority
The authority to sanction/approve loans must be clearly delegated to senior credit executives
by the Managing Director/CEO & Board based on the executive’s knowledge and experience.
Approval authority should be delegated to individual executives and not to committees to
ensure accountability in the approval process. The following guidelines should apply in the
approval/sanctioning of loans:

• Credit approval authority must be delegated in writing from the MD/CEO & Board
(as appropriate), acknowledged by recipients, and records of all delegation retained in
CRM.

• Delegated approval authorities must be reviewed annually by MD/CEO/Board.

• The credit approval function should be separate from the marketing/relationship


management (RM) function.

• The role of Credit Committee may be restricted to only review of proposals i.e.
Recommendations or review of bank’s loan portfolios.

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 61


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

• Approvals must be evidenced in writing, or by electronic signature. Approval records


must be kept on file with the Credit Applications.

• All credit risks must be authorized by executives within the authority limit delegated
to them by the MD/CEO. The “pooling” or combining of authority limits should not
be permitted.

• Credit approval dshould


within be
the centralize
CRM function. Regional credit
centers may be established, however, all large loans must be approved by the Head .

• Credit and Risk Management or Managing Director/CEO/Board or delegated Head


Office credit executive.

• The aggregate exposure to any borrower or borrowing group must be used to


determine the approval authority required.

• Any credit proposal that does not comply with Lending Guidelines, regardless of
amount, should be referred to Head Office for Approval.

• MD/Head of Credit Risk Management must approve and monitor any cross border
exposure risk.

• Any breaches of lending authority should be reported to MD/CEO, Head of Internal


Control, and Head of CRM.

Segregation of Duties

Banks should aim to segregate the following lending functions:


o Credit Approval/Risk Management
o Relationship Management/Marketing
o Credit Administration

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 62


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

The purpose of the segregation is to improve the knowledge levels and expertise in each
department, to impose controls over the disbursement of authorized loan facilities and obtain
an objective and independent judgment of credit proposals.

Internal Audit
Banks should have a segregated internal audit/control department charged with conducting
audits of all departments. Audits should be carried out annually, and should ensure
compliance with regulatory guidelines, internal procedures, and Lending Guidelines and
Bangladesh Bank requirements.

4.14 Preferred organizational structure & responsibilities


The appropriate organizational structure must be in place to support the adoption of the
policies detailed in Section 1 of these guidelines. The key feature is the segregation of the
Marketing/Relationship Management function from Approval / Risk Management
/Administration functions. Credit approval should be centralized within the CRM function.
Regional credit centers may be established, however, all applications must be approved by
the Head of Credit and Risk Management or Managing Director /CEO Board or delegated
Head Office credit executive.

Key Responsibilities
The key responsibilities of the above functions are as follows:

Credit Risk Management (CRM)

o Oversight of the bank’s credit policies, procedures and controls relating to all credit
risks arising from corporate/commercial institutional banking, personal banking, &
treasury operations.
o Oversight of the bank’s asset quality.
o Directly manage all Substandard, Doubtful & Bad and Loss accounts to maximize
recovery and ensure that appropriate and timely loan loss provisions have been made.

and general monitoring of account conduct/performance.

Relationship Management/Marketing (RM)

o To act as the primary bank contact with borrowers.


o To maintain tho
regular contact, factory/warehouse inspections, etc. RMs should proactively monitor
the financial performance and account conduct of borrowers.
o To be responsible for the timely and accurate submission o
new proposals and annual reviews, taking into account the credit assessment
o To highlight any deterioration in borrower’s financial standing and amend the
borrower’s Risk Grade in a timely manner. Changes in Risk Grades should be advised
to and approved by CRM.
o To seek assistance/advice at the earliest from CRM regarding the structuring of
facilities, potential deterioration in accounts or for any credit related issues. Internal
Audit/Control

o Conducts independent inspections annually to ensure compliance with Lending


Guidelines, operating procedures, bank policies and Bangladesh Bank directives.
Reports directly to MD/CEO or Audit committee of the Board.

4.15 Procedural guidelines


This section outlines of the main procedures that are needed to ensure compliance with the
policies contained in Section 1.0 of these guidelines.

4.16Approval Process
The approval process must reinforce the segregation of Relationship Management/ Marketing
from the approving authority. The responsibility for preparing the Credit Application should
rest with the RM within the corporate/commercial banking department. Credit Applications
should be recommended for approval by the RM team and forwarded to the approval team
within CRM and approved by individual executives. Banks may wish to establish various
thresholds, above which, the recommendation of the
Head of Corporate/Commercial Banking is required prior to onward recommendation to
CRM for approval. In addition, banks may wish to establish regional credit centres within the
approval team to handle routine approvals. Executives in head office CRM should approve all
large loans. The recommending or approving executives should take responsibility for and be
held accountable for their recommendations or approval. Delegation of approval limits should
be such that all proposals where the facilities are up to 15% of the bank’s capital should be
approved at the CRM level, facilities up to 25% of capital should be approved by CEO/MD,
with proposals in excess of 25% of capital to be approved by the EC/Board only after
recommendation of CRM, Corporate Banking and MD/CEO.

Credit Administration
The Credit Administration function is critical in ensuring that proper documentation and
approvals are in place prior to the disbursement of loan facilities. For this reason, it is
essential that the functions of Credit Administration be strictly segregated from Relationship
Management/Marketing in order to avoid the possibility of controls being compromised or
issues not being highlighted at the appropriate level. Credit Administration procedures should
be in place to ensure the following:

Department of Finance & Banking | Page 65


Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur.
Credit Risk Management of Janata Bank Limited, Rangpur Shilpa Nagari Branch, Rangpur

Disbursement:
Security documents are prepared in accordance with approval ter
enforceable. Standard loan facility documentation that has been reviewed by legal counsel
should be used in all cases. Exceptions should be referred to legal counsel for advice based
on authorization from an appropriate executive in CRM. Disbursements under loan facilities
are only be made when all security documentation is in place. CIB report should
reflect/include the name of all the lenders with facility, limit & outstanding. All formalities
regarding large loans & loans to Directors should be guided by Bangladesh Bank circulars &
related section of Banking Companies Act. All Credit Approval terms have been met.

Custodial Duties:
Loan disbursements and the preparation and storage of security documents should be
centralized in the regional credit centers. Appropriate insurance coverage is maintained (and
renewed on a timely basis) on assets pledged as collateral. Security documentation is held
under strict control, preferably in locked fireproof storage.

Compliance Requirements:
All required Bangladesh Bank returns are submitted in the correct format in a timely manner.
Bangladesh Bank circulars/regulations are maintained centrally, and advised to all relevant
departments to ensure compliance. All third party
service providers (value’s, lawyers,
insurers, CPAs etc.) are approved and performance reviewed on an annual basis. Banks are
referred to Bangladesh Bank circular outlining approved external audit firms that are
acceptable.

4.17 Incentive Program


Banks may wish to introduce incentive programs to encourage Recovery Unit (RU) Account
Managers to bring down the Non-Performing Loans (NPLs).

The table below shows an indicative incentive plan for RU account managers:

Interpretation: From the above graph we can see there are unstable trend in the provision
against the classified loan of JBL in the last five years. That means in the last five years they
emphasis less on classified loans and advances. We see that in the year 2013 the amount of

Interpretation: As we know that doubtful amount of classified loans advances is highly


questionable and improbable to collect or recover the higher percentage of it represents the
bad image and higher risk of liquidity and bankruptcy. In this Graph, it Shows that the
amount of doubtful amounts are decreasing. In the year of 2013, doubtful amount is the
highest and that is 15.19%. It gradually reduces and represents 113.52%, 11.27 % and 8.59%
for the year respectly. The trends of doubtful amount in this graph focus the good
performances of credit risk management which ensure the highest profitability and reduce the
risk of liquidity.

Interpretation: The figure shows the both tendency of occurring loss. First three years, the
percentage of loss of classified loans and advances increased from 60.455 to 74.86%. It
indicates that the management of credit was higher risky and that loss of classified Loans and
Advances reduced the asset of the Janata Bank Ltd. And it affected the profitability of JBL.
But in the year of 2016, The authority emphasized on the credit risk management which
reduced the risk and loss . As a result of the percentage of loss decreased (66.52%) compared
the highest loss of (74.86%) in the year of 2015 through it was also higher than the year of
2013(60.45%) and 2014 (64.2%). After all we can hope it graduality does well as loss is
deckling.

highest percentageof credit risk indicates that success in banking is extremely dependent on
the proper management of credit risk.And in 2015 CR is 84% which is a sign of alarming
report. The more efficient the management the less risk is associated with the credit risk
policy & practices. The bodyof knowledge must be concerned about how to lessen the CR for
the benefit of the bank.

sectors and newly invented thrust sectors in the economy.

proper documentation of all types of loans to make the department trustworthy & healthy.

5.The documents supporting the security against the loan have to be verified properly by the
bank before sanctioning the loan.

supervision or close attention by management

6.2 Conclusion

It goes without saying that credit policy cannot be isolated from the broader monitory policy
of the country. Like any other segment of the economic policy, credit is very important for
any financial institution as it generates profit and gear up economic activities of the country.
In other words, credit is business and it is input in the production process of the country.
Since credit has an inherent risk, therefore proper utilization of the loans are essential to meet
the requirements of the borrower. Thelon applied for by the borrower must not be employed
for unproductive purpose. In this regard, the Janata Bank Limited must closely follow the
progress of the loan and the way the borrower is utilizing the funds. In this way the Janata
Bank Limited will deter any fake activities on the part of the borrower Credit evaluation
system of JanataBank Limited is very lengthy process. It has been revised time to time in
response to the respective circular of Bangladesh Bank. The overall credit activity of Janata
Bank Limited is composed of corporate credit division and credit administration. The credit
management system of Janata Bank Limited is more or less effective as recovery position of
classified loan is high and classified loan has been decreasing graduallyduring the year. They
always trying to improve their credit policy for minimizing lossand maximizing profit and
various measures are undertaken to develop the creditmanagement system.
