  2. Agenda NPAs in the Indian Banking System ARCs – Indian Context ARCs – Legal Framework India’s Premier ARC - Arcil

  3. NPAs in the Indian Banking System • Indian banking system witnessed gradual increase in levels of NPAs in the post-liberalisation period • Shake-up in real sector • However NPA levels did not threaten to undermine the banking system • Tightening of prudential and capital adequacy norms by the regulator • Selective recapitalisation support and mergers of weaker institutions

  4. While the problem is not as intense… * Including exposure to bubble sectors

  5. …NPA “stock” merits a systemic response • Gross NPA levels on the rise • NPA holding cost = 25% of the net profit of the banking system

  6. Agenda NPAs in the Indian Banking System ARCs – Indian Context ARCs – Legal Framework India’s Premier ARC - Arcil

  7. ARC – Indian model • ARCs in India are set up as a non-government vehicle • Minimal government participation in the ARC resolution process • Market forces to consolidate and attractively package lender interests • Create investors’ interest • Support from the banking system – an essential requirement

  8. ARC – Indian model • Fiscal Incentives to banking system • Tax set-offs on sale of asset to ARCs • Gains from buy-back of high yield government bonds to be used for set-off of losses from asset transfer to ARCs • Provision for operation of multiple ARCs

  9. The business model – Indian context ARCs - Generic business models Rapid Disposition Agency Immediate sell down of debt to third party investors Risk & Rewards transferred to the investor Debt ResolutionAgency Focus on Asset Management & Resolution Risk & Rewards retained by the banking system

  10. Indian ARCs – a Debt Resolution Agency (DRA) • Expeditious resolution of NPA “stock”- a priority • Indian NPA profile suggests • Recoveries from NPAs would be over a longer time-frame as against rapid realisation • Predominantly in industrial sector (Low exposure to “bubble” sectors – Real estate/ Capital Markets) • Banking landscape necessitates debt-aggregation • One borrower, many lenders (inter-creditor issues) • Different security classes and structures • Moral hazards related issues

  11. Indian ARCs –Debt Resolution Agency (DRA) • Markets for NPAs – Non-existent • Absence of market makers (limited participation of foreign lenders in Indian credit market) • No pricing bench marks Debt aggregation and resolution approach is likely to succeed • Focus on recoveries from NPAs • Improved leverage over debtor through aggregation • Eliminates moral hazards • Regulatory empowerment

  12. Structured along the DRA model Acquisition Management & Resolution Sell Down Sell asset Sell debt Banks/FIs ARCIL Investor Proceeds SRs Debt servicing Restructuring Company Time line t = 0 t = 5 t = 1 Value capturing at resolution stage becomes critical for final exit

  14. Addressing the NPA levels • Proactive response of government and Central Bank – aimed at NPA resolution • Setting-up of Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) forum • Enactment of “Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act, 2002” • Proposed formation of National Company Law Appellate Tribunal

  15. Addressing “stock” and “flow” problem Regulatory Empowerment RegulatorCentral Bank Self empowered body Debt Aggregation AgenciesCDR ARC Resolution strategies Restructuring Asset Sale Access to legal mechanisms Regulation Tribunal Special Court

  16. Legal Framework (1/2) • Act introduced two important new initiatives to bring about structural reforms to the Indian credit market • Setting up of Asset Reconstruction Company • Enforcement of securities without the intervention of the court • ARCs requirements • Registered with Central Bank • 15% capital adequacy • Arcil is the first ARC which has been granted license by the Central Bank

  17. Legal Framework (2/2) • ARCs empowered to take following measures for the purpose of asset reconstruction:- • Take possession of secured assets • Sell or lease a part or whole of the business of the borrower • Change or take over of the management of the business of the borrower • Rescheduling the payment of debt payable by the borrower • Settlement of dues payable by the borrower
