ABOUT J&K BANK
THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR BANK IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING BANKS IN INDIA
WITH A NETWORK OF MORE THAN 561 BRANCHES SPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY
OFFERING WORLD CLASS BANKING PRODUCTS/SERVICES TO ITS CUSTOMERS. TODAY
THE BANK HAS STATUS OF VALUE DRIVEN ORGANIZATION AND IS ALWAYS WORKING
TOWARDS BUILDING TRUST WITH SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS,
BORROWERS, REGULATORS, AND OTHER DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS FOR WHICH IT HAS
ADOPTED A STRATEGY DIRECTED TO DEVELOPING A SOUND FOUNDATION OF
RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST AIMED AT ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE, WHICH OF COURSE
COMES FROM THE WOMBS OF GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. GOOD GOVERNANCE
IS A SOURCE OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AND A CRITICAL INPUT FOR ACHIEVING
EXCELLENCE IN ALL PURSUITS. JK BANK CONSIDERS GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
AS THE SINE QUA NON OF A GOOD BANKING SYSTEM AND HAS ADOPTED A POLICY
BASED ON ALL THE FOUR PILLARS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE-TRANSPARENCY,
DISCLOSURE, ACCOUNTABILITY AND VALUE, ENABLING IT TO PRACTICE TRUSTEESHIP,
TRANSPARENCY, FAIRNESS AND CONTROL LEADING TO STAKEHOLDER DELIGHT,
ENHANCED SHARE VALUE AND ETHICAL CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP. IT ALSO ENSURES
THAT BANK IS MANAGED BY AN INDEPENDENT AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED BOARD
FOLLOWING BEST GLOBALLY ACCEPTED PRACTICES, TRANSPARENT DISCLOSURE AND
EMPOWERMENT. BESIDES ENSURING TO MEET SHAREHOLDERS ASPIRATIONS AND
SOCIETAL EXPECTATIONS FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE
FREEDOM TO DRIVE THE BANK FORWARD WITHOUT UNDUE RESTRAINTS BUT WITH
THE FRAMEWORK OF EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY. THE EXCELLENCE ACHIEVED BY
BANK IN ITS OPERATIONS STEMMING FROM THE ROOTS OF VOLUNTARY
GOVERNANCE HAS NOT GONE UNRECOGNIZED AND BANK HAS RECENTLY BAGGED
THREE VERY PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS FOR FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES AND
COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
J&K Bank has been committed to al l the basic tenets of good Corporate Governance
well before the Securit ies and Exchange Board of India and the Stock Exchanges
pursuant to Clause 49 of the List ing Agreement mandated these. Now, it is our
Endeavour to go beyond the letter of the Corporate Governance codes and apply it
innovatively in a more meaningful manner thereby making it relevant to the
organization that is operating in a specif ic environment, which is different from the
generic Anglo-Saxon one. In l ine with the vision, J&K Bank wants to use Corporate
Governance innovatively in a transit ional economy l ike Jammu and Kashmir. The
Bank wants to use Corporate Governance as an instrument of economic and social
transformation. In due course, we would set our self targets of social and economic
reporting as a part of annual disclosures. This wil l help us conceptualize and
contextualize the form and content of Corporate Governance in a developing state.
Given the fact that J&K Bank is and is seen as a great success of” public-private
partnership”, our Bank as a business is expected to play a role in social
transformation of the economy. This lends urgency to implementation of good
governance practices which go beyond the Corporate Governance code. Operating in
an environment that is emerging from a situation of civi l str ife, the issue of
Corporate Governance assumes a different and greater relevance. We, as the prime
corporation of Jammu and Kashmir, have a vested interest in making the state a
safe place for business. J&K Bank has a key role to play in providing public and
private services, f inancial infrastructure and employment. As such, the eff iciency
and accountabil ity of the corporation is a matter of both private and public
interest, and governance, therefore, comes at the top of the agenda. The fact that
the bank is state owned but professionally managed, having a large size of
international investors, governance is cr it ical. For us Corporate Governance is
concerned with the systems of laws, regulations, and practices, which wil l promote
enterprise, ensure accountabil ity and trigger performance. The J&K Bank, for one,
stands for being more accountable, practice self-policing and make f inancial
transactions transparent and constitutional. The directors of J&K Bank have make it
an engine of social transformation. As an eminent corporate jurist (Chancellor
Wil l iam T. Al len) from US says, “A corporate director has civic responsibi l ity. The
people, who accept this responsibi l ity, do it conscientiously and well deserve our
respect as they are serving a nation. But those who as directors are passive and
view their role as mere advisers, are pl iable and pleasant but do not insist on a real
monitor’s role, do small service to anyone and deserve l itt le respect”. Our directors
belong to the former category.
Vision of J&K Bank
The Bank's vis ion is to be f inancial ly sound, profitable, growth and technology
oriented, committed to building and maximizing sustainable value for al l i ts
stakeholders. The Bank is committed to achieve healthy growth in profitabil ity and
simultaneously to remain consistent with the Bank's r isk appetite and at the same
time ensuring the highest levels of ethical standards, professional integrity and
regulatory compliance. “To catalyze economic transformation and capital ize on
growth”. The vision is to engender and catalyze economic transformation of Jammu
and Kashmir and capital ize from the growth induced f inancial prosperity thus
engineered. The bank aspires to make Jammu and Kashmir the most prosperous
state in the country, by helping create a new financial architecture for the J&K
economy, at the center of which wil l be the J&K Bank.
Mission Statement
J&K Bank’s mission is two-fold: To provide the people of J&K international quality
f inancial service and solutions and to be a super-special ist bank in the rest of the
country. The two together wil l make us the most profitable bank in the country.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE (investments)
Treasury Operations
1. Objectives
Main objectives of a bank Treasury is to maximum the returns with
optimum risk, this will improve the profitability of the bank and thereby
create value for its shareholders. Returns are associated with risks. High
risk-business gives high returns while low/zero risk yield only low/ nil
returns. It should be the Endeavour of treasury to maximize the profit with
in the given policy laminations. How ever profits are associated with
risks, therefore treasury has to see that as for as possible, the risk
associated with are totally hedged.
Control and minimizing the risk faced by the Bank is another objective
of the Treasury. It has to ensure that the Bank is not unnecessarily
exposed to risks, liquidity risks, market risks, funding risks, currency
risks, which should be effectively managed/hedged by the Treasury.
With diminished margins and increased completion for high quality
business on account of financial system reforms/ liberalization, there has
been intense pressure on a Bank to increase profitability. In a changed
circumstances. The focus has shifted towards maintaining maximizing the
‘spreads’ (Net interest margin) and control of risks, for which the treasury
should contribute by various techniques/operations like sourcing of low
cost funds by accessing diverse range of markets and entities with
liquidity. Treasury should play a vital role in increasing the ‘fee income’
of the bank through activities like trading in stock and securities etc.
Treasury function is also to be regarded as a service to the rest of the
business. It has to manage the residual funds to the bank, funds left
after deploying in the core activity to the bank, by developing it
appropriately, treasury, thus, is to be regarded as, “from line” in the
sense that it either makes profit in its own right or supports other areas
of the bank’s business to make profit (or minimize losses)
The treasury should also play a role, direct or indirect, in almost all the
heads, both on the Asset and liability sides, in the balance sheet. May
be it is for raising resources (Funding of assts) when there is need for
liquidity or for deployment in profitable avenues (Asset creation) when
there is surplus liquidity. Balance sheet management is yet another
important function of the Treasury.
At the macro level when the domestic market/economy is integrating
with the global economy, it is needless to emphasize the need for
integration of the macro level units. Most commercial banks had
already realized the fact and integrated their domestic treasury. It is in
this context; J&K Bank also integrated the functions of treasury and set
up an integrated Treasury under one roof with the following objective:
Proximity enables dealers remains informed of the development in
other markets.
Divergences in money and forex markets often give arbitrage
opportunities.Possibility of development / mobilization of resources at
better yield.
An intergraded treasury plays a vital part of any commercial bank’s
activities. It front-ends the bank in the inter bank and financial be they
money, gilt, bond, equity, foreign exchanges or derivatives.
Major Functions
In a backdrop of above objectives, the responsibilities of the treasury
cannot be recognized with any particular set of functions because its
encompasses, directly or indirectly, almost all activities of the Bank.
However the principal functional responsibility of the treasury is the
current asset / liability management (Which includes Reserves
management) and investments of the Bank. Our treasury has to
proactive and participative and not only react to internal thoughts and
ideas of the ma management. An efficient Treasury is thus always a
“profit center” for the bank.

includes

Financial sectors
The various financial markets available to a treasury are as under:
Money market.
Debt market.
Capital markert and
Foreign exchange market.
Money Market
The term "Money Market" refers to the market for short-term
requirement and deployment of funds. Money market instruments are
those instruments, which have a maturity period of less than one year.
The most active part of the money market is the market for overnight
and term money between banks and institutions (called call money)
and the market for repo transactions. The former is in the form of loans
and the latter are sale and buy back agreements – both are obviously
not traded. The main traded instruments are commercial papers (CPs),
certificates of deposit (CDs) and treasury bills (T-Bills). All of these are
discounted instruments i.e. they are issued at a discount to their
maturity value and the difference between the issuing price and the
maturity/face value is the implicit interest. One of the important
features of money market instruments is their high liquidity and
tradability. A key reason for this is that these instruments are
transferred by endorsement and delivery. Another important feature is
that there is no tax deducted at source from the interest component.
Money Market Instruments :
Commercial Papers
Commercial Bills
Certificates of Deposit
Treasury Bills
Call money market
Debt market
Debt market refers to the financial market where investors buy and
sell debt securities, mostly in the form of bonds. These markets are
important source of funds, especially in a developing economy like
India. India debt market is one of the largest in Asia. Like all other
countries, debt market in India is also considered a useful substitute
to banking channels for finance
Capital market
Capital market deals in instruments which allows users of funds to
directly raise funds from the investors instead of sourcing the funds
from intermediaries like banks, financial institutions etc.
In vary simple terms, ‘Capital’ is described as owners stake or
investment in the business’. The investors (shareholders) are rewarded
by way of dividend (in case the profits are adequate).
Foreign Exchange market
Purchase or sale of one nation currency in exchange for another is
conducted in a market setting called foreign exchange market.Foreign
exchange makes possible international transaction such as import and
export and the movement of capital between countries. The value of
one foreign currency in the relation to another is defined by the
exchange rate.
As such, broader spectrum of Treasury Management
encompasses the following

CATEGORIZATION
The entire investment portfolio of the bank has to be classified
under three categories: as per RBI guidelines issued. These categories
are 1) held to maturity (HTM), 2) available for sale for sale (AHS) and 3)
held for trading (HFT).
A. Held for maturity: The investment under this category have
to be kept up to 24% of bank’s total investments. The Deptt, may
as allowed by RBI keep under these category securities less than
24% at its discretion but it should not exceed 40%. However, for
the purpose of ceiling the following investments can be kept
under this category but will not be counted for the purpose of
ceiling.
a) Re-capitalization bonds of Govt. of India
b) Invests in subsidiaries and joint ventures.
c)invests in bonds/debentures deemed to be in the nature of an
advance ( as defined in the above referred to RBI circular) profit
on sale of investments in this category shall be first taken to profit
and loss account and there after appropriated to capital reserves
account. Loss on sale in these investments shall be recognized in
profit & loss account.
B. Available for sale (AFS):- The bank is having the freedom to
decide the extent of holdings under AFS and held for trading
categories. This has to be decided by the central treasury after
considering various aspects such as basis of intent, trading
strategy, risk management capabilities, tax planning, manpower
skill and capital position etc. the securities acquired by the bank
with the intention to trade by taking advantage of short term.
Price interest rate movement will be classified under held for
trading. These securities are to be sold within 90 days. If the
department is not in a position to sell it within 90 days due to
exceptional.
Circumstances such as tight liquidity conditions or extreme
volatility or market becoming un-directional, the security may be
shifted to AFS category. The securities, which do not fall within
HTM and HFT categories, have to be classified under AFS
categories.
In the previous section a detailed analysis of various markets
has already been performed.
We turn now to specific analysis of particular security
market. We begin by analysis debt securities. A debt security is a
claim on a specified periodic stream of income. Debt securities are
often called fixed income securities because they promise either a
fixed stream of income or a stream of income that is determined
according to a specified formula. These securities have the
advantage of being relatively easy to understand because the
payment formulas are specified in advance. Risk considerations
are minimal as long as the issuer of the security is sufficiently
creditworthy. Therefore those securities are a convenient starting
point for our analysis of the universe of potential investment
vehicles.

Term money also called “Short term Deposit Placement” in the Bank, is
the borrowing or lending for maturities beyond 15 days without

interest on term money is fixed and interest payment is along with
principal on maturity. However, there is no restriction in payment of
coupon periodicity or the tenor. The interest rate can either be fixed or
floating. The maximum term money placements between the banks in
the past have been for a period as long as 5 years with half yearly
coupon payments.

The interest rates depend on the T-bill and CP yields for the tenor. The

COLLATERALISED BORROWING & LENDING OBLIGATION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Collateralized borrowing and lending obligation (CBLO) is a secured
form of borrowing and lending. The collateral is government of India
securities and treasury bills with residual maturity over six months.
Collateralized borrowing and lending obligation, a money market
instrument as approved by RBI, is a product developed by CCIL for the
benefit of the entities who have either been phased out from inter
bank call money market or have been given restricted participation in
terms of ceiling on call borrowing and lending transactions and who do
not have access to the call money market. CBLO is a discounted
instrument available in electronic book entry form for the maturity
period ranging from one day to ninety days (can be made available up
to one year as per guidelines).In order to enable the market
participants to borrow and lend funds, CCIL provides the dealing system
through Indian financial network (INFINET), a closed user group to the
members of the negotiated dealing system (NDS) who maintain current
account with RBI.
CCIL membership of CBLO segment is exempted to banks, financial
institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, primary dealers,
NBFC’s non –government provident funds, Corporates etc. The
members are required to open constituent SGL (CSGL) account with
CCIL for depositing securities which are offered as collateral/margin for
borrowing and lending of funds.
TRANSACTION PROCESS AND RESTRICTIONS
Borrowing limit for the members is fixed everyday after marking to market and applying appropriate hair-cuts on the securities deposited in the CSGL account. The post hair- cut mark- to- market value after
adjusting for the amounts already borrowed by the members is the borrowing limit, which, in effect, denotes the drawing power up to which the members can borrow funds. Members are required to deposit initial margin generally in the form of cash/government securities and initial margin is computed at the rate of 0.50% on the total amount borrowed /lent by the members.
For lending, deals are allowed only with approved counterparties. The
borrowing/lending rates for CBLO are determined electronically using
CCIL’s trading platform and depend on the demand and supply of funds.
The “normal” market settles on T+0 or T+1 to specified timings. The
normal market can be accessed for borrowing funds to the extent of
their available borrowings limit, besides members can sell CBLOs held
by them to meet their funds requirement instead of waiting till
maturity. Members intended to sell CBLO’s (borrow funds) place their

Certificate of deposit
Product Description
These are issued by banks in denominations of Rs0.5mn. Banks are allowed to issue CDs with a maturity of less than one year while financial institutions are allowed to issue CDs with a maturity of at least one year. These are issued in denominations of Rs.5 Lacs and Rs. 1 Lac thereafter. Bank CDs have maturity up to one year. Minimum period for a bank CD is fifteen days. Financial Institutions are allowed to issue CDs for a period between 1 year and up to 3 years. Usually, this means 366 day CDs. The market is most active for the one year maturity bracket,
while longer dated securities are not much in demand. One of the main reasons for an active market in CDs is that their issuance does not attract reserve requirements since they are obligations issued by a bank. They are like bank term deposits accounts. Unlike traditional time deposits these are freely negotiable instruments and are often referred to as Negotiable Certificate of Deposits. And are also freely transferable by endorsement and delivery. At present CDs are issued in physical form (in the form of Usance promissory note). CD’s are not required to be rated. CD is subject to payment of Stamp Duty under Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Central Act).
All scheduled banks (except RRBs and Co-operative banks) and financial institutions are eligible to issue CDs. They can be issued to individuals, corporations, trusts, insurance companies, funds and associations. Non-resident Indians can invest in CD’s on a non-repatriable, non transferable basis. They are issued at a discount rate freely determined by the issuer and the market/investors.
Banks / FI’s can’t grant loans against CD’s. Furthermore, they can’t buy
back their own CDs before maturity.Banks have to maintain the
appropriate reserve requirements, i.e., cash reserve ratio (CRR) and
statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) , on the issue price of the CDs.
Discount Rate
CDs may be issued at a discount on face value. Banks /FI’s are also allowed to issue CD’s on floating rate basis provided the methodology of compiling the floating rate is objective, transparent and market based. The issuing Bank / FI is free to determine the discount/ coupon rate. The interest rate on floating rate CDs would have to be reset
periodically in accordance with a predetermined formula that indicates the spread over a transparent benchmark. Thus, CDs can be issued on discount value basis or coupon bearing basis. The parties to contract are free to determine the discount rate.
Discount is calculated on actual / 365 day basis.
The discount to be calculated on rear-ended basis. The price is to be calculated up to a maximum of four decimal places and rounded off to the 4th decimal place.Scenario A:In case yield is given then:

TRANSACTION PROCESS AND RESTRICTIO
Investing in Primary issues
The investor has to apply for investment in CD in CD application format.
The back office is required to transfer funds to issuer’s account either
through RTGS or RBI cheque. The investor bank advices issuer of its
Depository Account details and the issuer send the CD to the
Depository for custody in banks name. Issuer also provides CD
Redemption Account details to the bank.
Investing Through Secondary Market
Currently, Banks are authorized to invest in CDs only in demat form.
The counter parties may decide upon the sequence of delivery of funds
and securities at the time of concluding the deal in the secondary
market.
Buying
In respect of investment through secondary market, the investor bank
has to invest the CD through usual channels similar to other
instruments such as debentures. The dealer has to prepare a deal slip
giving details of issuer, face value, discounted price and maturity. The
investor has to receive deal confirmation from the seller and also send
his own deal confirmation to the seller. He also has to advise the seller
the DP details. The seller must send delivery instruction to its DP for
transfer of CD to custody of bank’s DP.
The investor has to issue the RTGS funds transfer instruction or
cheque /pay order favoring the seller.
Selling
The transaction is done over normal dealing platforms. A Deal Slip
giving details of issuer, face value, discounted price and maturity and
Deal Confirmation is prepared and sent to buyer. Deal Confirmation
should specifically state that there is no recourse to bank if issuer
defaults on redemption. Simultaneously, the seller receives a Deal
Confirmation from the buyer. The buyer transfers funds through RTGS
to bank (or bank gets cheque /pay order). The buyer advises bank of its
DP details and bank sends Delivery instruction to its DP for transfer to
the Buyer’s DP.
Redemption of CDs in Bank’s Investment Portfolio
Bank asks DP to transfer its CD to the CD Redemption Account of the
issuer. (This should be done at least 2 working days in advance). Copy
of this instruction to Bank’s DP to be sent to issuer with details of
center and account to which bank requires the redemption payment to
be remitted. In case, the redemption date is a holiday, redemption is
done the previous working day.
Risks Involved
Price risk/Interest rate risk
Liquidity risk
Credit risk – Counter party risk is minimal since CD is a secure
instrument
Settlement Risk
Derivative Usance Promissory Notes
Product Description
Derivative Usance Promissory Notes (DUPN) or Bills Rediscounting
Scheme (BRD) are instruments accepted for payment by a bank on a
specific maturity date. Underlying a bill is a transaction representing
supply of goods drawn by the supplier on the buyer. The supplier
discounts the bill with his bank, the discount representing the
interesttill maturity. BRD is the rediscounting of trade bills, which
havealready been purchased by/ discounted with the bank by the
customers.The banks normally rediscount the bills that have already
been discounted with them or raise usance promissory notes in
convenient lots and maturities and rediscount them. The bill (or a
portfolio of such bills) is converted into a promissory note (called
Derivative Usance Promissory Note- DUPN) by the discounting bank.
The minimum and maximum tenors are 15 and 90 days respectively.
Discounted / rediscounted bills/ DUPN’s are transferable by
endorsement and delivery. In the process, they become marketable,
liquid instruments. Market is OTC.
Only the DUPN’s move to the rediscounting bank’s. The underline bills
remain in the custody of the (Primary) discounting bank.
DAY COUNT CONVENTION AND DISCOUNT RATE
The parties to contract are free to determine the discount rate.
Discount is calculated on actual/365 day basis. The amount payable to
the brrower is the principal amount less the discount/interest .While
discounting a bill /DUPN’s the amount of discount is to be deducted at
the time the bill/DUPN is issued .The discount is rounded of to the
nearest rupee. On maturity the brrower would repay the principal
amount.
EXAMPLE
Transaction Amount: RS 10,00, 00,000/-(Rupees ten crore) (principle amount)
No. of days : 45 days
Rate of Discount : 10.25 p.a.
Discount : Transaction Amount*No. of days*Rate of interest/discount 365*100
i.e; 10,00,00,000*45 *10.25
365*100
i.e; Rs 9,87,36,301/-
Amount to be repaid on maturity: Rs 10, 00, 00,000
TRANSACTION PROCESS AND RESTRICTIONS
The following types of bills can be accepted for rediscounting:
A bill drawn on and accepted by the purchaser’s bank and where
the latter is not a licensed commercial bank, it should in addition
bear the signature of a licensed bank.
A bill drawn on the buyer’s bank jointly and accepted by them
jointly.
A bill drawn on and accepted by the buyer under an irrevocable
letter of credit and certified by the buyer’s bank, which has
opened the letter of credit.
A bill drawn on and accepted by the buyer and endorsed by the
seller in favour of his bank and bearing a legend signed by a
licensed scheduled bank who should be an endorser of the bill.
The bill of exchange should be a genuine trade bill and should
have arisen out of sale of goods.
The bill should have a maturity period of not more than 90 days.
The bill should contain a clause indicating the nature of the
transaction out of which it has arisen.
Bills arising out of sale of prohibited commodities notified by RBI
are ineligible under this scheme. Accommodation bills are also
ineligible. Services sector bills are not eligible for rediscounting.
Bank can be both buyer and seller (rediscounter) of these instruments.
In either case it could be single bill or several bills or a portfolio of bills
in the form of single usance promissory note. The RBI states that there
should be a board-approved bill discounting policy in place. Bills should
represent genuine commercial and trade transactions of customers.
Banks should not deal in “without recourse” bills.
TREASURY BILLS:
These are issued by the Reserve Bank of India on behalf of the
Government of India and are thus actually a class of Government
Securities. At present, T-Bills are issued in maturity of 91 days, 182 days
and 364 days. . The minimum denomination can be as low as Rs100, but
in practice most of the bids are large bids from institutional investors
who are allotted T-Bills in dematerialized form. RBI holds auctions for
14 and 364 day T-Bills on a fortnightly basis and for 91 day T-Bills on a
weekly basis. For example a Treasury bill of Rs. 100.00 face value
issued for Rs. 91.50 gets redeemed at the end of it's tenure at Rs. 100.00.
91 days T-Bills are auctioned under uniform price auction method where
as 364 days T-Bills are auctioned on the basis of multiple price auction
method. There is a notified value of bills available for the auction of 91
day T-Bills which is announced 2 days prior to the auction. There is no
specified amount for the auction of 14 and 364 day T-Bills. The result is
that at any given point of time, it is possible to buy T-Bills to tailor one’s
investment requirements.
Banks, Primary Dealers, State Governments, Provident Funds,
Financial Institutions, Insurance Companies, NBFCs, FIIs (as per
prescribed norms), NRIs & OCBs can invest in T-Bills.
Discount rate
T-Bill is a discounted instrument and is issued in the form of a
zero coupon instrument at discount to face value redeemable
at par on maturity.
Repayment
The amount on repayment is directly credited to the current
account of the investor held with RBI.
Issue Channels
There are two ways by which T-Bills can be purchased:
Primary Issues:
Through multiple price auctions. Bidders quote prices at discount to the
face value (Rs 100). Multiple bids are allowed. As in the case of G-
Secs, the RBI fixes a cutoff yield at and below which bids get full or
partial allotment.
Secondary Market:
In the secondary market, the trades are directly with counterparty or
through broker intermediary. The market consists of banks, PD’s-
entities which are obliged to bid in the primary auctions of the RBI and
are paid a commission for their services-insurance companies and
mutual funds.
Types of Trade and trading Platforms:
The types of trades are outright purchases/sales.
The trading platforms for G-Sec are NDS-OM (Negotiated Dealing
System-Order matching Segment) and OTC. In addition to NDS, G-Secs
can be traded on stock exchanges in dematerialized form. The trading
platform in stock exchanges is automated and order driven. Trades will
be settled similarly to equities through the concerned stock Exchanges
clearing House. For this purpose:
Day Count Convention is Actual /365
The market price quoted on yield to maturity basis. This can be
converted to price. The price is to be calculated upto maximum of four
decimal places and rounded off to the 4th decimal place
Scenario A: In case yield is given then:
Price= 100
-------------------------------------------------
(1+yield*No of days to maturity)
365*100
Scenario B: In case price is given then
Yield= (100-Price)*365*100
T-Bills are always valued at book value.
Risks on investment in T-Bills
Price risk. There is price risk due to interest rate
sensitivity
Liquidity risk ( in some maturity segments). It should be
ensured that investment in illiquid T-Bills may not be
made for that maturity profile.
Counterparty risk. This is minimal due to DVP mode of
settlement.
Operational risk. This is minimal and it is ensured that
trades are confirmed on the trade date itself and the
settlement is done before the time prescribed by RBI.
Reputation risk. The instances of SGL bouncing has
reduced due to introduction of Liquidity Adjustment
Facility (LAF) by RBI. RBI has also mentioned the
introduction of Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) to
avoid such instances
INTER-BANK PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATE(IBPS)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
As the name suggests, IBPC’s are instruments which allow banks to
acquire a share of another bank’s loan portfolio and enable banks with
surplus funds to deploy them.The arrangement could be with or
without risk-sharing .Not more than 40% of an advance can be
earmarked for participations.
In IBPC’s of the risk sharing variety, the acquiring bank has no recourse
to the IBPC –issuing bank if the advance underlying the participations is
in arrears or defaulters.
If it is without risk sharing, there is no credit risk exposure to the
underlying advance but only to the IBPC-issuing bank.Thus, the bank
can finance a portion of its loan portfolio by issuing IBPC’s to other
banks. It can also acquire IBPC’s issued by other banks, representing a
part of their loan portfolio. In the first case, the bank reduces the
advances in its book while in the second it has an asset. Banks can issue
IBPC’s only against their standard assets. Also the loan agreement
between the issuing bank and the borrower must explicitly provide for
transfer of the borrower’s liability to another bank.
IBPCs are not transferable instruments.IBPCs are subject to the uniform
code governing inter-bank participation.
IBPC SCHEMES
RISK SHARING
Minimum maturity 91 days, maximum 180 days.
Rate of interest is mutually negotiated between the issuer and
buyer.
Issuing bank should not finance more than 40% of an advance
with IBPC’s at the time of issue.
In case the advance falls below IBPC’s issued, the issuing bank
must reduce participation to the extent necessary.
In case the advance is crystallized, the IBPC-issuing bank must
advise the participating banks of the fact. Recoveries from the
brrower and his assets will be shared proportionately among the
issuing bank and the participating banks.
The issuing bank is not subject to reserve requirements on these
borrowings.
CONDITIONS
The issuing banks should make available all necessary information on the borrower to participating banks, including its appraisal, security details, sanction note to its board etc.
All rights and powers of the participating banks will vest with the
issuing bank.
The issuing bank has discretion on expanding or waiving the
conditions attached to the loan provided it does not dilute the
obligations or the brrower and/or guarantor under the loan
agreement.
The issuer will fronted participants in all maters relating to
administering the advance in terms of the loan agreements with
the borrower .it will have full discretion to (or not to ) exercise its
rights under the loan agreements. However, changes to the loan
agreement which have the effect of varying a borrower’s
obligations require the consent of participants.
The loan agreement must specifically provide for participations.
NON-RISK-SHARING
Tenor not to exceed 90 days.
The rate of interest is mutually negotiated between the issuer and
participating banks.
COMMERCIAL BILLS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Bills of exchange are negotiable instruments drawn by the seller
(drawer) of the goods on the buyer (drawee) of the goods for the value
of the goods delivered. These bills are called trade bills. These trade
bills are called commercial bills when they are accepted by commercial
banks. If the bill is payable at a future date and the seller needs money
during the currency of the bill then he may approach his bank for
discounting the bill. The maturity proceeds or face value of discounted
bill, from the drawee, will be received by the bank. If the bank needs
fund during the currency of the bill then it can rediscount the bill
already discounted by it in the commercial bill rediscount market at the
market
related discount rate.
The RBI introduced the Bills Market scheme (BMS) in 1952 and the
scheme was later modified into New Bills Market scheme (NBMS) in
1970. Under the scheme, commercial banks can rediscount the bills,
which were originally discounted by them, with approved institutions
(viz., Commercial Banks, Development Financial Institutions, Mutual
Funds, Primary Dealer
