Report on Loans of Primary Source

Report on Loans of Primary Source

INTRODUCTION:

Loans comprise the most important asset as well as the primary source of earning for the banking financial institutions. On the other hand, this (loan) is also the major source of risk for the bank management. A prudent bank management should always try to make an appropriate balance between its return and risk involved with the loan portfolio. An unregulated banking financial institution might be fraught with unmanageable risks for the purpose of maximizing its potential return. In such a situation, the banking financial institutions might find itself in serious financial distress instead of improving its financial health. Consequently, not only the depositors but also the general shareholders will be deprived of their money from the bank. The deterioration of loan quality will also affect the intermediation efficiency of the financial institutions and thus the economic growth process of the country. This establishes the fact that banks should provide increasing emphasis on various analytical tools and techniques for screening proposals and loan decision taking. Credit Worthiness Analysis is one of the most important activities before sanctioning any credit to a new borrower as well as existing borrower to avoid any default risk and for improving the operational efficiency of nationalized and private sector commercial banks.

Rationale of the study:

The principal function of the bank is to lend. Lending comprises a very large portion of a bank’s total activities. Sound lending practice therefore, is very important for profitability and success of a bank. Like other financial intermediary, commercial banks also intermediate between the savers and borrower to mobilize the financial surplus of the savers and allocate these savings to the creditworthy borrowers of different sectors of the economy. In this way they not only help in financial development of a country, but also facilitate its economic development. For the sake of sound lending, it is necessary to develop a sound policy and modern lending techniques to ensure that loans/ advances are safe and the money will come back within the time set for repayment. For this purpose, proper and prior analysis of credit proposals is required to assess the credit worthiness for avoiding risk. Risk is inherent and absolutely unavoidable in banking.  Lending itself is risky and the very purpose of analyzing the credit worthiness is to determine whether a particular loan applicant is credit worthy or not. While deciding a loan proposal we should judge the degree of credit worthiness of individual potential borrower, risk in a given situation. Lending is a judgment which depends upon ones ability to assess the shortcomings in the proposals and to identify the risk. Ability in taking prior measures to minimize the risk is very much important. In the background of the above things, the issue “Credit Worthiness Analysis” has been undertaken as a comprehensive research topic, which will serve the BBA program.

     2. Sources (Primary & Secondary)

     3. Selected Type of the Study.

     4. Data Preparation Method.

Theoretical Framework:

Literary, a theory is a conceptual scheme based on foundational statements called axioms, which are assumed to be true. In case of this report I designed my theoretical framework by the help of “foreign Exchange Regulations Act Volume1”, of several manuals or brochures published by IFIC.

Sources:

Source refers to the origin from where we have collected all the information. The reliability of the report depends on the source of the information. Both primary and secondary source of the report writing is discussed below:

Primary Sources:

The method that was used to collect the primary data is as follows:

 Discussion with officials of IFIC. (The discussion was conducted with 3 officials of IFIC and information was collected through direct conversation and discussion suing some predetermined questions and instant solutions that rose from instant problem.)

Practical work Experiences in the different desks of the department of the branch covered. Relevant file study as provided by the offers concerned.

Face to Face conversation with the clients (Conducted 7 face to face conversation with clients as there was ample chance of communication with the customers during the working hour.)

Discussion with my supervising teacher and manager.

Secondary Source:

The method that was used to collect the Secondary data is as follows:

 Information regarding the background history of IFIC and its services that are currently taking place in our country are collected form the IFIC’s website.

 Annual report of IFIC Bank. Ltd.

Various books, articles regarding general banking function foreign Exchange operation and credit police.

Different procedure mutual published by IFIC.

 Different circular sent by head office of IFIC and Bangladesh Bank.

Selected Type of the Study:

As this report is based on the description of the various aspects of over all Banking operation provided by the IFIC Dhanmondi Branch Dhanmondi, I selected to go on with a descriptive study as this will include the functions IFIC in the overall section.

Data Preparation Method:

During the preparation of this report MS Word report writing software has been used as this software is easy to use and is one of the highly accepted software for professional report writing.

Limitations:As by nature all the elements and study have its recompense as well as limitations. Here the limitations of the study of this report are few but it would have been better work if we could have over come those limitations.

Time Limitations:As I have to submit this report within a certain time limit, I couldn’t get or use a proficient way of collecting information. If I have more time to prepare this report the report would have been more reach with information.

 Centralized service system by IFIC:

As I am an intern in the IFIC Dhanmondi Branch Dhanmondi which includes few particular services regarding the foreign exchange, I wasn’t able to collect all the information relating to foreign exchange especially Import, Export and LC. That is why I have discussed a few parts of foreign exchange services provided by IFIC.

 Inadequate Discussion with Officials:

To prepare a high-quality report I felt the urgency of discussion with the high officials in IFIC but as I was an intern and took considerable time to get use to the environment, was not able to communicate with the High Level Officials.

 Limited Disclosure:

Interns are not allowed in every section of IFIC, that is why, and access to the information was limited.

 The study has many dimensions and covers a broad spectrum. The report limits its scope to IFIC Bank Limited only. Hence the working area of my internship was only Customer Service in Dhanmondi Branch of the bank. Actually this study does not show the existing all but a portion customer of the IFIC Bank Ltd. The data requires for sufficient analysis for report writing could not be collected due to excessive workload.

Sound Principles of lending:

Sound principle of lending is obvious to avoid loan default tendency and risk elements to safeguard of public money as well as business of a bank. So, there must be a principle of advance and efforts should be made to make it a sound one for which in depth study must be made on the following points by this bank.

a)      When the loan is to be given

b)      Why the loan is to be given

c)      How the loan is to be given

d)     What may happen after disbursement of the loan

e)      Generally what happen (from past experience) after disbursement of the loan

f)       Is it hopeful that the borrower will repay the loan?

g)      Whether loan should be given only in private sector or also in government sector as well.

h)      Whether only secured loan will be extended or provision should be kept for clean loan also

i)        Whether only short term and mid term loan will be considered or long term will also be considered?

j)        Whom to be financed?

k)      Whether loan will be extended to trading sector only or industrial sector will also be considered.

  Besides the above mentioned decision, the managers must ensure materialization of following safe guards for proper use and timely realization of loans, commission. Interest etc and minimize the risk and hazards:

a)      Safety of Fund: Safety means the assurance of repayment of distributed loans. This depends mainly on integrity, business behavior, reputation, past experience in the particular line of business, financial solvency, quantum of own equity in business, capability to run business efficiently, capacity and willingness to repay the loan etc. of the loan.

b)      Security: It must be ensured that repayment of the loan is secured and for this purpose manager must retain security against loan to fall back upon incase of borrower’s default. The securities must possess required basic qualities such as possession, title deed, parches etc.

c)      Liquidity: The borrower should have liquid assets so that he can adjust liability on demand and as much as possible loan itself should be quasi liquid so that it can be realized on demand in case of need.

d)     Purpose: Purpose of a loan should be production, development and economic benefit oriented.

e)      Profitability: This is applicable both for bank and the borrower.

f)       Diversification: Diversification means to distribute the loan to a large number of borrowers rather to a small number of borrowers. This will increase the services of the bank and it will reduce the risk of loan recovery.

g)      National Interest: Nothing can be done legally if it jeopardizes national interest in any way.

h)      Credit restriction imposed by Central Bank: At the time of sanctioning loan, the commercial banks must have to follow the restrictions that are imposed by Bangladesh Bank from time to time.

Financial Data Analysis:  The credit manager has to compare financial statements of at least three years. For this s/he takes help of different ratios such as liquidity ratio, solvency ratio, profitability ratio and activity ratio. S/he also needs to examine bank account statement of the applicant very keenly. In addition to analysis, the manager should visit the business concern to get a true picture of it.

 Industry Analysis: In this part, the manager is required to study the business behavior, which includes market demand, competitors and government barriers.

 Lending Risk Analysis: It is a systematic and structural way to assess lending risk, which covers all the factors described above. Here a form has to be completed by the lending officer. If lending risk is found to be low, financing can be done and vice versa.

Finally based on the above information provided by the loan applicant and after analyzing all the information and information provided by Credit Information Bureau. (CIB) a credit committee of a bank takes the lending decision.
