RBI Circular No DBR.No.BP.BC.2/21.04.048/2015-16

Dated July 1, 2015
Para 4.2.6
The asset classification of borrowal accounts where a solitary or a few

credits are recorded before the balance sheet date should be handled
with care and without scope for subjectivity. Where the account indicates
inherent weakness on the basis of the data available, the account should
be deemed as a NPA. In other genuine cases, the banks must furnish
satisfactory evidence to the Statutory Auditors/Inspecting Officers about
the manner of regularisation of the account to eliminate doubts on their
performing status.
40
TYPE OF ADVANCES
41
• Fund based advances are those where there is an actual transfer of
funds from the bank to the borrower. Examples : Cash credit, term
loans, overdraft, bill discounting, export loans etc.
• Non fund based advances are those where there is no immediate

involvement of transfer of funds from the bank to the borrower.
Examples: Letter of credit , bank guarantees, co-acceptance of bill.
42
FUND BASED FACILITIES
Cash Credit
Term Loan
Overdraft
Bill Discounting
Export Loan
43
ACCOMODATION BILLS
Bills are raised by drawer and accepted by drawee as per the

mutual understanding without any actual sale/purchase
transaction taking place. Funds raised by the drawer through
discounting of bill.
The practice is strictly prohibited
44
Transactions under Accomodation Bills
▪ Bills are raised by drawer (seller of goods) and accepted by
drawee (purchaser) as per the mutual understanding without any
actual sale/purchase transaction taking place.
▪ Funds are raised by the drawer through discounting of bill while

the drawee includes the stocks in the stock statement for availing
Cash Credit limit resulting in double financing against the
transaction with out actual sale/purchase transaction taking place.
▪ Such bills are highly risky for banks since in case , the same are
drawn under LC, the Bank issuing the LC is under statutory
obligation to make the payment of the bills in case the drawee
(purchaser) fails to do so.
