The sensitivity analysis presented below may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligationas it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may becorrelated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation hasbeen calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of reporting year, which is same as that applied in calculatingthe defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the balance sheet.
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptionsconstant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
In compliance with RBI Master Direction RBI/DOS/2024-25/118 DOS.CO.FMG.SEC.No.5/23.04.001/2024-25 dated July 15, 2024, the Companyhas reported frauds in 10 branches involving 20 loan accounts amounting to '436 Lakhs (Previous year 27 loan accounts and one incident ofanomalies in accounting transactions in Trichy Branch total amounting to '444.96 Lakhs) to NHB during the current year.
It is defined as the inability or unwillingness of the counterparty to meet the commitment in relation to lending,trading, hedging, settlement and other financial transactions. Also it is defined as the possibility of losses associatedwith diminution in the credit quality of borrowers or counter parties. The Credit policy articulates credit risk strategy toeffectively communicate it throughout the company and all relevant personnel to understand company's approach togrant of credit. The Policy covers products/borrower category, frame work for appraisal process, guidelines for takeoverof accounts, entry level matrix (credit scoring system) and flexibility in pricing, dispensation of credit, monitoring andreview mechanism, limit structure / prudential exposure levels, reporting frame work. The Company has put in placea proper Loan Review Mechanism with responsibilities assigned in various areas such as, evaluating the effectivenessof loan administration, maintaining the integrity of credit grading process, assessing the loan loss provision, portfolioquality, etc. Credit grading involves assessment of credit quality, identification of problem loans, and assignment of riskratings. Monitoring is being done through guidelines to branches; follow up by overseeing executives and other regularfollow up.
ECL Model and Assumptions considered in the ECL model
Markov chain model is used for estimating the probability of default on loans receivable. In a Markov chain model forloans receivable an account moves through different delinquency states each month. For example, an account in the"Regular" state this month will continue to be in the "Regular" state next month if a payment is made by the due date andwill be in the "30 days past due" state if no payment is received during that month.
The transition matrix in the Markov chain represents the period-by-period movement of receivables between delinquencyclassifications or states. The transition evaluates loan quality or loan collection practice. The matrix elements are commonlyreferred to as "roll-rates" since they denote the probability that an account will move from one state to another in oneperiod. The transition matrix is sometimes referred to as the "roll-rate matrix" or the "delinquency movement matrix".
The loan portfolio for the past several months are analysed to arrive at the transition matrix. Each loan identified by theLoan ID is traced to find out how the loan has performed over the last several months. The days past due is grouped into 6states as follows: A. Regular [0 days past due] B. 1 to 30 days past due C. 31 to 60 days past due D. 61 to 90 days past dueE. 91 to 120 days past due F. Above 120 days past due.
No significant increase in credit risk [Stage 1]: Based on Markov model, the monthly normalized transition matrix isconverted into a 12-month transition matrix for determining the probability of default for those loan accounts on whichthe risk has not increased significantly from the time the debt is originated. We use the same criteria mentioned inthe standard and assume that when the days past due exceeds '30 days', the risk of default has increased significantly.Therefore, for those loans for which the days past due is not more than 30 days, one-year default probability is considered.The probability of default is arrived at to determine the quantum of the loan that is likely to move into the states '90 dayspast due' and greater. After analysing the historical behaviour pattern of the days past due, we are of the opinion thatprobability of default should be arrived based on the sum of the matrix that is likely to move into the state '60 dayspast due'.
Note 41 - Financial Risk Management (Contd.)
Significant increase in credit risk [Stage 2]: The credit risk is presumed to have increased significantly for loans that aremore than 30 days past due and not more than 90 days past due. For such loans, lifetime default probability should beconsidered. Based on the maturity date of the loan, the probability of default is arrived at to determine the quantum of theloan that is likely to move into the states '90 days past due' and greater. After analysing the historical behaviour pattern ofthe days past due, we are of the opinion that probability of default should be arrived based on the sum of the matrix thatis likely to move into the state '60 days past due'. The respective transition matrix is used to find out the transition matrixapplicable for the loan considering the maturity date of such loan.
The probability of default (PD) of a loan which is less than 30 days past due is represented by the one-year transitionmatrix as explained above. This PD is used to measure the quantum of the loan that is likely to move into the states 90days past due and above over the next 12 months. The respective PD multiplied by the exposure at default (EAD) wouldgive us the quantum of the loan that would move into the each of the 6 states* over the next 12 months. Typically, the sumtotal of all the values of the states representing 90 days past due or higher would be the quantum of amount defaulted.However, we have considered the PD to be the sum of all the values of the states representing 60 days past due or higher
The exposure at default (EAD) represents the gross carrying amount of the financial instruments subject to the impairmentcalculation, addressing both the client's ability to increase its exposure while approaching default and potential earlyrepayments too.
Probability of default is the probability of whether borrowers will default on their obligations which are calculated basedon historical default rate summary of past years.
LGD: The loans are secured by adequate property. The present value of such collateral property is considered whilecalculating the Expected Credit Loss. The Company initiates recovery process of Non Performing accounts within thestatutory time limit as per SARFAESI and other applicable laws and accordingly the realizable period has been consideredfor computing the Realisable Present Value of Collateral.
The market risk is the possibility of loss to the Company prices of security due to changes in the market factors, mainlythe changes in interest rates, and competition. It is the risk to the Company's earnings and capital due to the changes inthe market interest rates. Market Risk also includes company's ability to meet its obligations as and when due. The limitedavenues at the disposal of the Company for raising low cost/cost effective resources and our operating on thin spreadsmake market risk management all the more significant. The Company has an Investment Policy/ Borrowing Policy inplace which addresses the Market Risk which defines safety and liquidity will have preference over returns. Our majorityof investment is by way of Bank Deposits and Govt. securities for the purpose of maintenance of SLR as prescribed byNHB. All these deposits are held to maturity. There is an ALM Committee of Executives at RO (ALCO), which functionsas the operational unit for managing the balance sheet and asset liability mismatches. All the borrowing decisions andraising short term funds in the form of Non Convertible Debentures, Commercial Papers, Securitization and such othermodes, are taken at appropriate level as per the Board approved policy on borrowings. Refer Note 5.8 for Asset LiabilityManagement.
Probability of loss arising from a situation where (1) there will not be enough cash and/or cash equivalents to meet theneeds of depositors and borrowers, (2) sale of illiquid assets will yield less than their fair value, or (3) illiquid assets willnot be sold at the desired time due to lack of buyers. ALM Policy is in place which has set prudential limits for structuralliquidity and interest rate risk. The ALCO committee of the Company analyzes the ALM position of the Company as atthe end of each quarter and appraises the Board the ALM position of the respective quarters along with the proposedmeasure to improve the ALM position.
The table below shows an analysis of assets and liabilities according to when they are expected to be recovered or settledafter factoring in rollover and prepayment assumptions:
Earnings risk is the danger that income may fluctuate due to changes in economic conditions or other factors. It is alsothe potential negative impact on the net interest income. The risk refers to vulnerability to movement in interest rates.Changes in interest rates effects earning, value of asset and cash flow. Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO)meets at periodical intervals and assesses the earning risk and gives proper directions to the management to improvethe NIM. Company shall monitor the income earned by way of interest and other income at quarterly intervals and placesuitable notes to Board while placing notes on quarterly/half yearly/annual financial results of the Company. The limitedavenues at the disposal of the Company for raising low cost/cost effective resources and our operating on thin spreadsmake market risk management all the more significant. The credit rating of our borrowings also have a significant impacton our net interest margin. Refer Note 46.4 for credit rating details.
