Solo - Pillar 3 Basel III - 30.06.2018
(SOLO)
1. Capital Adequacy
The bank believes in the policy of total risk management. The bank views the risk management
function as a holistic approach whereby risk retention is considered appropriate after giving due
consideration to factors such as specific risk characteristics of obligor, inter relationship between
risk variables and corresponding return and achievement of various business objectives within
the controlled operational risk environment. Bank believes that risk management is one of the
foremost responsibilities of top/ senior management. The Board of Directors decides the overall
risk management policies and approves the Risk Management Philosophy & Policy, Credit
Management & Risk policy, Investment policy, ALM policy, Operational Risk Management
policy, Policy for internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), Credit Risk Mitigation
& Collateral Management Policy, Stress Testing Policy and Policy for Mapping Business
Lines/Activities, containing the direction and strategies for integrated management of the
various risk exposures of the Bank. These policies, inter alia, contain various trigger levels,
exposure levels, thrust areas etc.
The bank has constituted a Board level subcommittee namely Risk Management Committee
(RMC). The committee has the overall responsibility of risk management functions and
oversees the function of Credit Risk Management Committee (CRMC), Asset Liability
Committee (ALCO) and Operational Risk Management Committee (ORMC). The meeting of
RMC is held at least once in a quarter. The bank recognizes that the management of risk is
integral to the effective and efficient management of the organization.
2.1.1 Credit Risk Management Committee (CRMC) headed by MD & CEO is the top-level
functional committee for Credit risk. The committee considers and takes decisions necessary to
manage and control credit risk within overall quantitative prudential limit set up by Board. The
committee is entrusted with the job of approval of policies on standards for presentation of credit
proposal, fine-tuning required in various models based on feedbacks or change in market
scenario, approval of any other action necessary to comply with requirements set forth in Credit
Risk Management Policy/ RBI guidelines or otherwise required for managing credit risk.
2.1.2 In order to provide a robust risk management structure, the Credit Management and Risk
policy of the bank aims to provide a basic framework for implementation of sound credit risk
management system in the bank. It deals with various areas of credit risk, goals to be achieved,
current practices and future strategies. As such, the credit policy deals with short term
implementation as well as long term approach to credit risk management. The policy of the bank
embodies in itself the areas of risk identification, risk measurement, risk grading techniques,
reporting and risk control systems / mitigation techniques, documentation practice and the
system for management of problem loans.
All loan proposals falling under the powers of GM & above at HO/ Zonal Manager and Circle
Head at field are considered by Credit Approval Committee (CAC).
2.1.3 Bank has developed comprehensive risk rating system that serves as a single point
indicator of diverse risk factors of counterparty and for taking credit decisions in a consistent
manner. The risk rating system is drawn up in a structured manner, incorporating different
factors such as borrower’s specific characteristics, industry specific characteristics etc. Risk
rating system is being applied to the loan accounts with total limits above Rs.50 lac. Bank is
undertaking periodic validation exercise of its rating models and also conducting migration and
default rate analysis to test robustness of its rating models.
Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) and Retail advances are subjected to Scoring models which
support “Accept/ Reject” decisions based on the scores obtained. All SME and Retail loan
applications are necessarily to be evaluated under score card system. Scoring model Farm
sector has been developed and implementation process is under progress. The bank plans to
cover each borrowal accounts to be evaluated under risk rating/ score framework.
Recognizing the need of technology platform in data handling and analytics for risk
management, the bank has placed rating/ scoring systems at central server network. All these
models can be accessed by the users ‘on line’ through any office of the bank.
For monitoring the health of borrowal accounts at regular intervals, bank has put in place a tool
called Preventive Monitoring System (PMS) for detection of early warning signals with a view to
prevent/minimize the loan losses.
2.1.4 Bank is in the process of implementing enterprise-wide data warehouse (EDW) project,
to cater to the requirement for the reliable and accurate historical data base and to implement
the sophisticated risk management solutions/ techniques and the tools for estimating risk
components {PD (Probability of Default), LGD (loss Given Default), EAD (Exposure at Default)}
and quantification of the risks in the individual exposures to assess risk contribution by
individual accounts in total portfolio and identifying buckets of risk concentrations.
2.1.5 As an integral part of Risk Management System, bank has put in place a well-defined
Loan Review Mechanism (LRM). This helps bring about qualitative improvements in credit
administration. A separate Division known as Credit Audit & Review Division has been formed
to ensure LRM implementation.
2.1.6 The risk rating and vetting process is done independent of credit appraisal function to
ensure its integrity and independency. The rating category wise portfolio of loan assets is
reviewed on quarterly basis to analyze mix of quality of assets etc.
2.1.7 Though the bank has implemented the Standardized Approach of credit risk, yet the
bank shall continue its journey towards adopting Internal Rating Based Approaches (IRB). Bank
has received approval from RBI for adoption of Foundation Internal Rating Based Approach
(FIRB) on parallel run basis w.e.f. 31.03.2013. Further, bank has placed notice of intention to
RBI for implementing Advanced Internal Rating Based (AIRB) approach for credit risk.
Major initiatives taken for implementation of IRB approach are as under:
• For corporate assets class, bank has estimated PD based upon model wise default rates
viz. Large Corporate and Mid Corporate borrowers using Maximum likelihood estimator
(MLE). For retail asset class, PD is computed for identified homogeneous pool by using
exponential smoothing technique.
• LGD (Loss Given Default) values have been calculated by using workout method for
Corporate Asset Class as well as for each homogenous pool of Retail Asset Class.
• Bank has also put in place a mechanism to arrive at the LGD rating grade apart from the
default rating of a borrower. The securities eligible for LGD rating are identified facility
wise and the total estimated loss percentage in the account is computed using
supervisory LGD percentage prescribed for various types of collaterals and accordingly
LGD rating grades are allotted.
• Effective Maturity for different facilities under Corporate Asset Class has also been
calculated as per IRB guidelines.
• Mapping of internal grades with that of external rating agencies grades: Bank has
mapped its internal rating grades with that of external rating agencies grades. This
exercise will help in unexpected loss calculation and PD estimation.
• Bank has adopted supervisory slotting criteria approach for calculation of capital under
specialised lending (SL) exposure falling under corporate asset class.
• Bank has put in place a comprehensive "Credit Risk Mitigation & Collateral Management
Policy", which ensures that requirements of FIRB approach are met on consistent basis.
2.2.1 The investment policy covering various aspects of market risk attempts to assess and
minimize risks inherent in treasury operations through various risk management tools. Broadly,
it incorporates policy prescriptions for measuring, monitoring and managing systemic risk, credit
risk, market risk, operational risk and liquidity risk in treasury operations.
2.2.2 Besides regulatory limits, the bank has put in place internal limits and ensures adherence
thereof on continuous basis for managing market risk in trading book of the bank and its
business operations. Bank has prescribed entry level barriers, exposure limits, stop loss limits,
VaR limits, Duration limits and Risk Tolerance limit for trading book investments. Bank is
keeping constant track on Migration of Credit Ratings of investment portfolio. Limits for
exposures to Counterparties, Industry Segments and Countries are monitored. The risks under
Forex operations are monitored and controlled through Stop Loss Limits, Overnight limit,
Daylight limit, Aggregate Gap limit, Individual Gap limit, Value at Risk (VaR) limit, Inter-Bank
dealing and investment limits etc.
2.2.3 For the Market Risk Management of the bank, Mid-Office with separate Desks for
Treasury & Asset Liability Management (ALM) has been established.
2.2.4 Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is primarily responsible for establishing
the market risk management and asset liability management of the bank, procedures thereof,
implementing risk management guidelines issued by regulator, best risk management practices
followed globally and ensuring that internal parameters, procedures, practices/policies and risk
management prudential limits are adhered to. ALCO is also entrusted with the job of Base rate /
MCLR and pricing of advances & deposit products and suggesting revision of MCLR/Base Rate/
BPLR to Board.
2.2.5 The policies for hedging and/or mitigating risk and strategies & processes for monitoring
the continuing effectiveness of hedges/ mitigants are discussed in ALCO and based on views
taken by /mandates of ALCO, hedge deals are undertaken.
2.2.6 Liquidity risk of the bank is assessed through gap analysis for maturity mismatch based on
residual maturity in different time buckets as well as various liquidity ratios and management of
the same is done within the prudential limits fixed thereon. Advance techniques such as Stress
testing, simulation, sensitivity analysis etc. are used on regular intervals to draw the contingency
funding plan under different liquidity scenarios.
2.2.7 Besides stock and flow approach, bank is also monitoring liquidity through Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR) under Basel-III framework. Liquidity Coverage Ratio which promotes
short-term resilience of banks to potential liquidity disruptions by ensuring that they have
sufficient high quality liquid assets (HQLAs) to survive an acute stress scenario lasting for 30
days. The LCR requirement has become binding on the banks from January 1, 2015 with the
following minimum required level as per the time-line given below:
Jan 1, Jan 1,
Jan 1, 2015 Jan 1, 2016 Jan 1, 2019
2017 2018
Minimum LCR 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%
The LCR of the bank is at comfortable level. The bank is managing LCR at 117.71% at
consolidated level as on 30.06.2018 (on basis of simple averages daily observation over
previous quarter) against the regulatory requirement of 90%.
The bank adopts three lines of defense for management of operational risk, the first line of
defense represented by various HO Divisions which are Control Units (CU), Business Units
(BU) or Support Units (SU); Second line of defense represented by independent Corporate
Operational Risk Management Function (CORF) being Operational Risk Management
Department (ORMD) to oversee Operational Risk Management, and the third lines of defense
represented by Inspection & Audit Division/ Management Audit and Review Division (IAD/
MARD) which is a challenge function to the first two lines of defense. Operational Risk
Management Committee (ORMC) headed by MD & CEO with all the EDs and key divisional
heads as members is the Executive level committee to oversee the entire operational risk
management of the bank. All the operational risk aspects like analysis of historical internal loss
data (including near miss events, attempted frauds & robberies, external loss events), etc. are
placed to the ORMC on quarterly basis. Risk Description Charts (RDCs), annual Risk & Control
Self Assessments (RCSAs), Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and Business Environment & Internal
Control Factors (BEICFs) are also used to ascertain the inherent and residual risks in various
activities and functions of the bank and initiating necessary corrective actions with respect to
management/mitigation of the operational risks.
Internal Control is an essential pre-requisite for an efficient and effective operational risk
management. Bank has clearly laid down policies and procedures to ensure the integrity of its
operations, appropriateness of operating systems and compliance with the management
policies. The internal controls are supplemented by an effective audit function that
independently evaluates the control systems within the organization.

Credit approving authority, prudential exposure limits, industry exposure limits, credit risk rating
system, risk based pricing and loan review mechanisms are the tools used by the bank for credit
risk management. All these tools have been defined in the Credit Management & Risk Policy of
the bank. At the macro level, policy document is an embodiment of the Bank’s approach to
understand measure and manage the credit risk and aims at ensuring sustained growth of
healthy loan portfolio while dispensing the credit and managing the risk. Credit risk is measured
through sophisticated models, which are regularly tested for their predictive ability as per best
practices.
