POLICY

 

GUIDELINES  OF OTS 2010

       The present OTS guidelines which were revised /modified in the year 2009 were valid upto 5.11.2010 but the Board has extended the validity period upto 31.12.2010/upto the date of Board meeting (whichever is earlier), by circulation. While approving the existing guidelines of OTS the Board had desired that these guidelines be reviewed after one year and if required necessary modifications/amendment put up for consideration & decision.  The existing OTS guidelines were prepared keeping in view the quality of residual portfolio, the most of which consisted of D-3 and Loss Assets Category. While reviewing the guidelines and its results it is observed that the recovery of the Corporation upto 15.11.2010 has improved by about 25% over the recovery of corresponding period of last year upto 15.11.2009.  It has also revealed that more-than 70% of the cases settled under present OTS guidelines have been fully honoured by the borrowers. Now portfolio has further reduced and we have to deal with most harder and difficult cases, therefore, the policy and guidelines in practice with other financial institutions, and particularly PICUP has been considered to formulate the modified guidelines which could be more rational and practicable / approachable to the defaulting borrowers who are willing to square up their NPA accounts by way of settlement to a reasonable amount. In this regard, certain inputs from the guidelines of PICUP 2010 have been taken into consideration to modify guidelines to deal with the borrowers of mixed basket of portfolio with the Corporation consisting of tiny, small and medium scale units. While preparing the revised guidelines due weightage to value of security has been given in settlement formula to arrive at indicative settlement amount. It is also significant to mention that in recent inspection of A.G. Auditors they have observed that in earlier guidelines the OTS amount was taken on the basis of matrix or valuation of mortgaged assets whichever was higher, whereas as per existing guidelines approved on 6.11.2009 lower amount than valuation is being accepted if valuation is more than the amount of OSP + Exp. + OSI and unit has ever been in production /  operation after 01.04.99. If the unit has not done any production/operation after 01.04.99 then OTS is being done on valuation if it is more than OSP + Exp. + OSI. As such according to the AG auditors above change in guidelines was not in the interest of the Corporation. However, in order to settle old NPAs and effecting recovery of dues from them OTS guidelines incorporating certain modifications on the basis of polices of other F.Is. and our experience in settlement of accounts, are proposed as   below :

 

 1.    ELIGIBILITY

       The following type of cases shall be eligible for OTS under proposed guidelines: -

i)                 The account should be NPA as on the date of the application.

ii)              The purchaser's account, which has become NPA shall be considered for OTS where down payment has been received.

iii)           Seed Capital Assistance/Soft Loan granted under the scheme of the IDBI & SIDBI which have also become NPA shall also be eligible.

iv)            The proposed guidelines will also cover cases pending before DRT/BIFR/Courts. However, in such cases borrower shall have to withdraw the case from respective court and submit affidavit in this regards.

v)               Cases of fraud, theft of machines and where FIR has been lodged may be considered.  However, in such cases the valuation shall be done assuming that no Plant & machinery is missing and in such cases OTS amount will be loaded additionally with depreciated value of removed Plant & machinery at the time of theft or 10% of the OTS amount arrived as per applicable Settlement formula, whichever is lower.   

vi)            The cases in which lease assistance has been granted and in which monthly lease rental is overdue for more than six months, shall also be eligible.

vii)         The existing cases where OTS have been cancelled shall also be considered for revival as given under this category in the note.

 

2.    CUT-OFF DATE

 

       The Cut-off date shall be 31st March of relevant financial year for all cases of SS, D-1, D-2 & D-3 category of NPA. The cut-off date for cases under Loss category shall be the date on which 50% of the sale proceeds (after the sale of assets)  have been received or agreement to sale executed after giving the possession.  Standard & Sub-standard cases shall not be eligible for OTS except in exceptional circumstances as given in subsequent paras of the note.  The cut off date in such type of cases shall also be 31st March of relevant financial year as explained above. 

 

3.    Rating Module to Settle Account

       Keeping in view the fact that the major portfolio of the Corporation comprises of D-3 and Loss Assets a simplified and transparent formula with rationalized rating module is proposed to arrive at indicative OTS amount. Due weightage to value of security has been given in the module for arriving at indicative settlement amount. This type of approach is being followed in PICUP also. The following tables would be considered to provide necessary score to arrive at indicatives OTS amount : -

3.2  Valuation of Prime/Collateral security (2 of Table-2)

       The existing guidelines for valuation as per OTS guidelines 2009 states that latest Circle rate or market rate, whichever is higher, shall be considered for valuation of land and depreciated value should be considered for valuation of Building & Plant and machinery.  It may be worthwhile to mention that Govt. authorities are increasing the circle rate of land quite frequently to increase revenue collection whereas it has been observed from the feed back from field offices that in Bundelkhand and Eastern Region there is no corresponding increase in the market rate. In Western and Central U.P. markets rates have increased correspondingly with circle rate. Therefore, it is felt imperative to modify norms of valuation of land in Bundelkhand, eastern U.P. and some small backward distt./areas of the state where development has not taken place and demand for land has not picked up much.

 

3.2.1      For valuation purpose entire area of the state may be categories as below:

 

i.                  Land in Noida, Gr. Noida and Ghaziabad District.

ii.               Land in Industrial Area/Estate i.e. UPSIDC, GIDA, DIC etc.

iii.            Private land in Bundelkhand, Eastern U.P. and some small Distt./Town of other areas.

iv.            Land in other Distt./areas i.e. other than i, ii & iii above.


I)    Value of the land in Noida/Gr. Noida/Ghaziabad-

If the land is located in Noida/Gr. Noida and in Ghaziabad the guidelines of valuation i.e. market rate or the rate fixed by the authority, circle rate, whichever is higher, shall be considered.

 

II)   Value of the land in Industrial area/Estate i.e. UPSIDC, GIDA DIC  etc-

If the land is located at Indl. Area / Estate of UPSIDC, GIDA, DIC etc. the present guidelines of valuation of the land i.e. circle rate, market rate or present rate fixed by the authority, which ever is more, shall be considered. If in any case authority rates are being considered then proper justification be given if they are lower than the circle rate.

 

III)  Value of private land in Bundelkhand, Eastern U.P. and some small Distt./Town of other areas.

If market rate of land is lower than the revised Circle rate of land then average of two (Circle rate and market rate) be considered for valuation in the following manner:-

 

a)              If market rate is less  by / upto 20% of Circle rate then the average of Circle Rate and market rate as per our Technical Officer would be considered.

 

b)              If market rate is less by more than 20% of Circle rate then the valuation of the land should also be got done through Govt. approved Valuer apart from Tech. Officer and thereafter average of three i.e. Circle rate, market rate assessed by outside valuer and market rate assessed by Technical Officer shall be considered to arrive at the rate to assess the value of the land.

 

The list of  districts of Bundelkhand, Eastern U.P. and some small distt./town of other areas where above guidelines for average valuation of land shall apply, is annexed at Annexure-I.

 

IV)   Value of Land in other Distt./areas i.e. other than i, ii & iii above.

 

       The present guidelines for valuation of land in above distts./areas shall continue to be applicable i.e. market rate/circle rate which ever is higher be taken into account.

 

3.2.2  It is observed quite often that different procedure is adopted by various offices in disposal of land if the unit is located in agricultural area.

 

In order to streamline the valuation of land in agricultural area where there is no unit nearby and/or no abadi, out of town area then the following methodology may be adopted:-

 

a) If the land is at main road then 150% of the Circle rate of agricultural land or market rate whichever is higher.

b) If the land is not on main road then 130% of the Circle rate of agricultural land or market rate whichever is higher.

 

3.2.3      These guidelines for valuation of land will apply for both sale and OTS cases. 

3.2.4      Scoring method for value of prime and collateral security:-

         The scores under this head of valuation would be awarded as compared to OSP percentage as below:-

Table-4

                                        70

3.

More than  100% of OSP

- Valuation above 100% to 125% of OSP        = 75

-  Valuation above 125% to 150% of OSP       = 80

- Valuation above 150% of OSP                      = 85

 

 

3.3  Net worth of the Promoter/Guarantor ( 3 of Table-2):

       The net worth of the promoter/guarantors shall be calculated on the basis of the immovable personal assets owned by them (as per appraisal note) but not mortgaged to the Corporation. If the personal assets are informed as sold then local inquiry about the same would be made by Regional office.  The party will have to submit an Affidavit regarding personal assets of all the partners/directors as usual.  The following rating module for granting score shall be applicable:-

The following factors may be given discount in scoring subject to the maximum of 2 marks for each factor (maximum 10 for all factors), with proper justification, as encumbered below:-

 

i.     The unit is under possession for more than 5 years.

ii.    The Court has granted stay or case is in BIFR/AAIFR.

iii.   Failure of project due to change in Govt. policy.

iv.   Technological obsolescence.

4.  Settlement amount for Lease Assistance cases:

 

       The Corporation had stopped lease financing in the year 1998 onwards. However, few cases are still saddled in the portfolio of the Corporation. The lease assistance was provided at very high implicit rate of interest normally ranging from 21% to 28% p.a.  The OTS guidelines of Lease Assistance cases were revised in the year 2009 but not much success has been achieved. It may by worthwhile to mention that the value of available security in most of the cases is now negligible as plant & machinery has become quite older more than 10 to 15 years and its depreciated value (plant & machinery given on lease) is almost nil.  We have already claimed depreciation on these machines in our books and value of lease financed assets is NIL in our books. If these cases are settled they will directly increase the income of the Corporation.  Most of the cases are very sticky and under litigation or pending before BIFR/AAIFR. In order to settle these cases the following simplified formula may be made applicable looking to the above.

 

       OTS Amount = (Lease amount disbursed – Principal part of the lease rental paid)  + (10% of Simple Intt. at implicit rate of interest i.e. IRR from the date of last payment of lease rental upto preceding quarter) less (advance lease rental deposited) + (salvage value @ 5% of plant & machinery) + (outstanding trade tax amount on lease rentals).

 

5.    O.T.S. in Joint Financed cases:

 

       In joint financing cases, where the Corporation shares pari-passu charge on the assets alongwith other FIs, the OTS amount finalised by the lead institution after mutual consultation would be acceptable to the Corporation if it comes within the guidelines. Settlement Committee would be empowered to take decision if the proposal is within the OTS guidelines.  If the proposal is beyond the approved guidelines (owing to settlement already finalized by other FIs), then it would be put up to EC for decision.

 

6.    O.T.S.  under Composite loan scheme and Handloom Weavers scheme.

       At the instance of Govt./IDBI the scheme was made operational in Mid 80’s for Artisans & Handloom weavers.  The loans granted amounted to maximum of Rs. 50,000/-. The following guidelines for settlement of these cases would be applicable:-

 

a)    Where borrower has paid less than 25% (Principal + Interest) of disbursed amount then OTS amount would be 100% OSP + Exp. as per existing guidelines.

 

b)    Where borrower has paid 25% (Principal + Interest) or more of disbursed amount then OTS amount would be 75% of OSP + Exp.

7.    O.T.S. in Loss category cases :

       The N.P.As. under this category amount to  Rs. 168 crore as on 31.3.2010 which constitute 40% of loan portfolio of the Corporation.  Keeping in view the practical difficulties in realisation of dues from Loss assets certain minor modification are proposed in existing guidelines. The OTS amount would be calculated according to marks awarded in Revised Debt rating format by the Field Office to ascertain categories of loss assets from L-1 to L-4. The copy of the revised Debt rating format is enclosed at Annexure-II.  The indicative OTS amount would be as per chart given below :-

 

Sub category

Marks as per Debt rating chart

Minimum OTS amount

Loss Assets L-1

75 & above

125% (Principal outstanding at the time of sale  minus sale proceeds) + Expenses.

Loss Assets L-2

60 to 74

100% (Principal outstanding at the time of sale  minus sale proceeds) + Expenses.

Loss Assets L-3

50 to 59

75% (Principal outstanding at the time of sale  minus sale proceeds) + Expenses.

Loss Assets L-4

Below 50

50% (Principal outstanding at the time of sale  minus sale proceeds) + Expenses.

 

7.1  In case the promoters/borrowers is physically handicapped or woman (other than spouse/parents/daughter/daughter-in-law/son-in-law of the partner/ director) or widow/dependents of deceased main promoter and the OTS is proposed on individual capacity, then the OTS amount under Loss category would be assessed as applicable to one category lower which may be acceptable e.g. if as per marks secured the case comes under L-1 category then for physically handicapped person or woman entrepreneur the OTS amount would be as per L-2. If the case comes under L-2 category then OTS amount would be as applicable to L-3 category. If it is in L-3 then OTS amount would be as applicable to L-4. However, if it is under L-4 category then the OTS amount would be 25% of OSP after adjusting sale proceeds + expenses.

 

7.2  In cases where OSP has been recovered through adjustment of sale proceeds such cases of loss category would be settled on 5% of disbursed amount to the unit. In fraud and theft cases additional 10% loading of OTS amount would also be applicable over and above OTS amount.

 

       In case any borrower is ready to pay 150% of Principal outstanding (except in theft cases) at the time of sale minus sale proceeds + Expenses then R.M. shall be empowered to settle the account without any need of Debt rating.

 

8.    OTS of Purchaser account :

       Normally the OTS of purchaser account shall not be considered.  However, where purchaser has paid atleast 75% of sale consideration or possession of the property purchased could not be handed over or sale deed could not be executed while there is no fault of purchaser e.g. stay obtained by the borrower from the competent court or litigation or any other valid reason then OTS may be considered on balance sale consideration  + expenses + OSI at gross documented rate of interest.

 

       In other cases where after making down payment the purchaser had paid total amount less than 75% of total sale consideration, then OTS may be done  as per following :

 

a)    In case present value of property (market value) is less than bal. sale amount + exp. + OSI at gross doc. rate then OTS would be done on bal. sale amt. + exp. + OSI.

b)    In case valuation is more than bal. sale amt. + exp. + OSI then the OTS would be done on bal. sale amt. + OSI + Compound intt. + exp. or the valuation whichever is lower.

 

       In all such cases where there are heavy overdues, the purchaser will be given a notice to settle the account within three months of the date of receipt of the notice as per above formula, failing which Corporation will be free to take action for re-sale of the unit U/s 29 of SFCs Act.


9.    OTS for Standard & Sub-standard cases :

       Normally, OTS in Standard & Sub standard cases shall not be considered by the Corporation.  However, in exceptional circumstances, such as death of main promoter, natural calamity, change in Govt. Policy, change in sector specific environment, unimplemented projects etc., OTS proposed may be processed with the prior permission of Managing Director, on case to case basis.  The OTS in such cases shall be considered on full liabilities as per ledger as on preceding quarter payable within 03 to 06 months with 50% cash down payment with no intt. free period. 

 

10.  OTS of Soft Loan / Seed Capital from IDBI /SIDBI :-

 

       SIDBI vide their letter dated 23.7.2009 has informed that when ever any case is settled by Corporation it should also cover the liabilities of NPA of equity soft loan and the settled amount shall be shared with SIDBI in proportion to the outstanding term loan & soft loan.  Equity soft loan dues can not be kept out of the purview of the OTS settlement. 

 

       Therefore, the accounts under this category may be settled by charging service charges @ 1% & 5%, as applicable on simple basis alongwith additional charges @ 2%. After retaining the portion of the service charges admissible to the Corporation the balance amount may be remitted to the SIDBI/IDBI.  No separate administrative charges for recovery of soft loan would be chargeable from the borrowers.

 

11.  Payment of OTS amount (excluding Standard & Sub standard cases) :-

 

       At the time of making application under proposed guidelines, the borrowers will be required to deposit token amount equal to 10% of OSP in the account as on date of application as upfront. Within one month from the date of approval of settlement by the Corporation an amount equal to 25% of the settlement amount less amount deposited alongwith the OTS application shall have to be paid by the borrower. The balance settlement amount shall have to be paid preferably within one year but not more than two years from the date of approval letter in equal quarterly instalments together with 13.5% simple interest on balance/deferred OTS amount till the date of final payment. Initially intt. free period of 03 months shall be provided from the date of approval letter.  Any accrued interest/service charges from the date of adjustment table to date of approval of OTS shall stands automatically waived off after the payment of entire OTS amount alongwith interest on OTS etc.

 

       Any amount received towards the settlement amount, shall be first adjusted towards Interest accrued on the settlement amount and balance shall be adjusted towards OTS instalment.  The existing Circular in this regard shall remain in force.

 

12.  Delegation of powers for approval of OTS :

       The following delegation of powers is proposed to decide/sanction OTS amount as per settlement module :-

 

12.1 Regional Manager-   

 

       R.M.s would be empowered to sanction OTS in cases where total disbursed amount is upto Rs. 10.00 lakh including the cases of Composite loan & Handloom Weavers Scheme in the following manner:-

 

a)    The cases involving write off (only in Loss cases), theft, fraud etc. would be put up to Settlement Committee for decision.

b)    The cases of Composite /Handloom weaver scheme will be approved by RM irrespective of the fact whether write off is involved or not.

 

       All the cases shall be routed through Regional Negotiation Committee for approval of RM.

 

12.2 Zone Incharge : 

Zone Incharge would be empowered to sanction OTS in cases in which total disbursed amount is above Rs.10.00 lacs and upto Rs. 25.00 lakh (except the cases of theft/fraud and where write off is involved). The cases involving write off (only in Loss cases), theft, fraud etc. would be put up to Settlement Committee for decision.

 

12.3 Managing Director : 

 

       Managing Director would be empowered to sanction OTS in cases in which total disbursed amount is above Rs.25.00 lakh (except the cases of theft/fraud and where write off is involved) which covers the settlement formula. The cases involving write off (only in Loss cases), theft, fraud etc. would be put up to Settlement Committee for decision.

 

       The cases to be approved by MD shall be routed through a Sub Committee constituted at HO consisting of concerned Zonal Incharge as Chairman and one officer each from Finance, Technical, legal wings. The Sub-Committee may constituted by MD suitably.

 

       All OTS approved cases of individual powers shall be put up to the Settlement Committee for information within one month’s time.


12.4 Settlement Committee

 

The following category of the cases would be put up for decision on OTS proposal :

 

a)    Cases covered under settlement module of OTS guidelines pertaining to all Joint Finance cases, Lease finance cases, write off involved cases of Loss category of assets only, theft / fraud cases.

        

12.5 Executive Committee:

 

       The Executive Committee may consider the proposals below the settlement module for taking the decision.

 

13.  Revival of cancelled OTS cases :

 

i)    Waiver of interest on DADP in OTS cases where Term loan amount disbursed is upto Rs.2.00 lacs.

 

Where entire/part OTS amount has been received, Corporation will consider waiver of entire interest on DADP provided balance OTS amount is deposited within one month. R.M.s would be empowered to approve such type of cases through Regional Negotiation Committee.

ii)   The OTS cases approved earlier and cancelled thereafter shall be considered for revival irrespective of date of approval of OTS. However, only those OTS cases shall be considered for revival where borrower has already paid 25% or more of the OTS amount within currency period of OTS schedule. Under the revival scheme, the borrower shall be required to pay upfront the balance amount of OTS alongwith entire Simple Interest at 13.5.0% on the defaulted amount for defaulted period (DADP). In all such cases, the delegation of powers to revive the cancelled OTS cases provided the entire balance OTS amount alongwith simple interest @ 13.5% on defaulted amount for defaulted period (DADP) has been paid upfront, shall be as under :-

Delegation of powers for revival of OTS :

Regional Manager-    

 

       R.M.s would be empowered to revive the cancelled OTS in cases in which total disbursed amount is upto Rs. 25.00 lakh including the cases of Composite loan & Handloom Weavers Scheme. All the cases shall be routed through Regional Negotiation Committee for approval of RM.

Zone Incharge :

        Zone Incharge would be empowered to revive the cancelled OTS in cases in which total disbursed amount is above Rs.25.00 lacs and upto Rs. 50.00 lakh.

 Managing Director

       Managing Director would be empowered to revive the cancelled OTS in cases in which total disbursed amount is above Rs.50.00 lacs.

All the payments received under the revised/restructured OTS shall be adjusted first against Simple Intt. on DADP as mentioned above and thereafter the balance amount shall be adjusted against the balance OTS amount.

 14.  OTS in case of individual Partner, Director and Guarantor :

        Efforts should be made by Regional Offices to do OTS with all the partners/directors, simultaneously.  However, if the situation so warrants the account may be settled individually with partner, director, guarantor without dilution in security, on merits and facts of the case. Such cases with proper justification would be put up to Settlement Committee for consideration and decision.

 15.  Rate of Interest during the period of OTS :

       Interest free period of 3 months shall be provided in each case for payment of OTS amount from the date of approval letter. Any accrued interest/service charges from the date of adjustment table to date of approval letter of OTS shall stand automatically waived off after the payment of entire OTS amount alongwith interest on OTS etc. However, in case the OTS payment period extends beyond 3 months, simple interest at 13.5% rate of interest would be payable by borrower after intt. free period of 03 months on reducing balance basis. The amount other than OTS amount shall be treated as waived off automatically.

 

16.  Communication of OTS approval and acceptance by borrowers :

       On receipt of sanction of OTS proposal by the approving authority, the OTS approval letter in the format already prescribed as per OTS guidelines should be issued by R.M. to the borrower unit/company. It should be ensured that all the terms & conditions as stipulated by the approving authority including usual terms & conditions have been duly incorporated in the OTS approval letter signed by an authorized official/person of the unit within 15 days from the date of issue, as a token of acceptance of the terms & conditions mentioned therein.  In case the same is not return in the stipulated period, the Corporation has right to withdraw the approval for OTS and initiate suitable action as per the terms of provisions of he loan agreement.

 

17.  Accounting procedure in OTS cases :

       Accounts department would open a new Account on the name of borrower where entire OTS amount would be considered as principal.  The treatment of account would be done as under: -

 

a)    Amount received as Earnest money, down payment and aggregate OTS would first be adjusted towards OTS amount.

b)    Simple interest accrued at 13.5% rate of interest after giving the benefit of interest free period would be funded separately on quarterly basis.  Total S.I. thus accrued would be recovered first within the total OTS period approved by the competent authority.

c)    In the event, the borrower does not honour the full OTS payment, with regard to recovery of eligible dues, it would become necessary to revert back to the position prior to the OTS approval and re-calculated the dues in terms of the loan agreement. Regional Office should therefore continue to maintain the existing borrower’s account in loan ledger folio.

 

18.  Settlement Committee :

The Settlement Committee as constituted by Board from time to time shall continue to exercise the power delegated by Board to settle the accounts.

 19.  Incentive for quick payment :

 a)    If the borrower pays OTS amount within 30 days he shall be given a rebate of 5% on OTS amount (subject to no write off).

b)    If  the borrower pays OTS amount within 45 days he shall be given a rebate of 3% on OTS amount (subject to no write off).

  The above incentives are subject to the condition that in no case write off will be allowed for giving rebate.

 20.  General norms of the OTS :

  (i)            The OTS amount will be decided on the basis of the liabilities as on the preceding quarter of the date of approval.

(ii)         Permission for sale of assets to pay OTS amount (on request of borrower) may be granted  subject to:

  a)         That title paper of mortgaged property will be released to borrower only after receipt of entire OTS amount alongwith interest.  Any Sale deed executed by borrower without paying OTS amount in full shall be invalid.
