Study Notes
Capital Adequacy and Exposure
- Tier-I capital for UCBs is the same as prescribed for computation of capital adequacy, as amended from time to time.
- Exposure includes both credit exposure (loans and advances) and investment exposure (non-SLR securities).
Credit Exposure
- Includes funded and non-funded credit limits, underwriting and similar commitments, and facilities extended by way of equipment leasing and hire purchase financing.
- Excludes loans and advances granted against the security of bank's own term deposits.
- The sanctioned limit or outstanding, whichever is higher, is reckoned for arriving at credit exposure limit.
Unsecured Advances
- Includes clean overdrafts, loans against personal security, and clean bills or Multani hundies purchased or discounted.
- Excludes advances backed by guarantee of central or state governments, public sector financial institutions, banks, and Deposit Insurance & Credit Guarantee Corporation, among others.
Other Restrictions
- Co-operative Societies Act of the State concerned contains an obligatory provision for deduction of periodical loan instalments by the employer out of employee's salary / wages to meet bank's claims.
- Advances granted to salaried employees against personal security are allowed in excess of the limits prescribed above, subject to certain conditions.
Loan Proposals and Reporting
- Approved loan proposals should be placed before the Audit Committee of the Bank at least once in two months.
- The Management and Audit Committee should ensure that all loans against shares are made only to those individuals who are not in any way connected with any stock broking entity.
- Details of the loan sanctioned should be reported to the Board in its subsequent meeting.
Bank Finance
- UCBs shall not grant any loan or advance to any person for purchasing their own Perpetual Non Cumulative Preference Shares (PNCPS), Tier-II preference shares, Perpetual Debt instruments (PDI), and Long Term Subordinated bonds (LTSB).
- UCBs shall not grant any loan or advance to any person for purchasing PNCPS, Tier-II preference shares, PDI, and LTSB of other banks.
- UCBs should not invest in PNCPS (Tier-I), other Preference shares (Tier-II), and also in Long Term (Subordinated) Deposits (Tier-II), PDI, LTSB issued by other banks; nor should they grant advances against the security of the above instruments issued by them or other banks.
