INTRODUCTION
Credit Appraisal is a process to ascertain the risks associated with the extension of the creditfacility. It is generally carried by the financial institutions which are involved in providing
financial funding to its customers. Credit risk is a risk related to non repayment of the credit
obtained by the customer of a bank. Thus it is necessary to appraise the credibility of the
customer in order to mitigate the credit risk. Proper evaluation of the customer is performed in
order to measures the financial condition and the ability of the customer to repay back the
loan in future. Generally the credits facilities are extended against the security know as
collateral. But even though the loans are backed by the collateral, banks are normally
interested in the actual loan amount to be repaid along with the interest. Thus, the customer's
cash flows are ascertained to ensure the timely payment of principal and the interest15.

MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISE
A healthy SME sector contributes prominently to the economy through creating more
employment opportunities, generating higher production volumes, increasing exports and
introducing innovation and entrepreneurship skills. According to Bashir Ahmad Fida
1
(2008),SMEs are the first step towards development in economies towards industrialization. The
dynamic role of SMEs in developing countries positions SMEs as engines through which the
growth objectives of developing countries can be achieved a role that has long been
recognised. One of the significant characteristics of a flourishing and growing economy is a
vibrant and blooming SME sector. SMEs play a pivotal role in the development of a nation.
They contribute to socioeconomic development in various ways; namely, by creating
employment for a rural and urban growing labour force and providing desirable sustainability
and innovation in the economy as a whole15,16

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Indian banking industry has evolved and transformed itself from a socialist licensed raj
business to a liberalized, modernized & technology oriented white elephant of India. Banking
industry is the backbone for any economy & is the key indicator to see & analyze the level of
development of a country. The banking sector of India has an annual growth rate of 23
percent, contributing nearly 6 percent of GDP & employing nearly 7.4 million people & has
outperformed most banking indices in the world with highest total returns to shareholders at
36.76%. The Indian banks even braved the subprime crises that rocked the global financial
sector in 2008. The Indian banks ability to protect asset health through prudent lending
helped them emerge from this crisis unscathed. The Indian banking sector has a large marketstill unexplored with the Indian households being one of the highest savers in the world
accounting for 69% of India gross national saving of which only 47% is accessed by the
banks. On the other hand there are many challenges as well which the Indian banking industry
has to face in the road ahead like that of financial inclusion, deregulation of interest rates on
saving deposits, slow industrial growth, a large government deficit, increased stress on some
sectors (such as, State utilities, airlines, and microfinance) & the implementation of Basel
III13.
Nevertheless seeing the credentials of the Indian Banks one can safely conclude that the
industry might have many stumbling blocks in the 'Road Ahead' but when ever encountered
with such blocks in the past it has used them as a stepping stone & has always 'Transformed'
itself ( for the better) and 'Evolved' as a winner. In 2012-13, Indian Bank's net profit rose by
23.15 per cent to Rs 70,331 crore compared to Rs 57,109 crore in the previous year. Total
income during the year expanded by 15.53 per cent to Rs 5, 71,230 crore against Rs 4, 94,664
crore in 2009-10. Net Interest Margin of the bank improved to 2.92 per cent in FY'2011 from
2.17 per cent in the previous fiscal. As the Indian financial System is bank dominated their
wellbeing is a must for the economy of India. India currently has a total of 74, 505 ATM of
which 66.42 % are owned by public sector & 31.74% by private sector banks with a total of
227 million debit cards issued13.

RESEARCH REVIEW
Banks have credit policies that guide them in the process of awarding credit. The policy sets
the rules on who should access credit, when and why one should obtain the credit including
repayment arrangements and necessary collaterals. The method of assessment and evaluation
of risk of each prospective applicant are part of a credit control policy (Payle, 1997)9.
A firms credit policy may be lenient or stringent. In the case of a lenient policy, the firm
lends liberally even to those whose credit worthiness is questionable. This minimizes costs
and losses from bad debts but might reduce revenue earning from loans, profitability and cash
flow Simonson and Hempel (1999) 11
, Hsiu-Kwang (1969) 4
and IMF (1997) 5
observe that
sound credit policy would help improve prudential oversight of asset quality, establish a set of
minimum standards, and apply a common language and methodology (assessment of risk,pricing, documentation, securities, authorization, and ethics), for measurement and reporting
of nonperforming assets, loan classification and provisioning.
Chen and Shimerda (1981)2
review 26 articles that classify 100 financial indicators, 65 of
them financial ratios. They report that 41 financial ratios are considered important, given
citation in one more of the 26 articles. In identifying bankrupt firms: Their final model,
however, includes only seven financial indicators, namely, return on investment, debt ratio,
the current ratio, cash position, net working capital turnover, inventory turnover and accounts
receivable turnover. The bankruptcy model for industrial companies adds to these factors a
cash flow measure.

Sun and Li (2006)12have developed a model to predict companies financial distress, testing
35 financial ratios for 135 pairs of listed companies. Their final distress prediction model
includes net profit growth rate, liabilities to tangible net assets, accounts receivable turnover,
liabilities to cash flow, liabilities to equity market value, total asset turnover and gross profit
margin. Giacomino and Mielke (1993)3propose nine cash flow ratios to evaluate a company's
performance and use than to evaluate US companies in the chemical, food and electronic
industries, calculating three-year averages per industry. The industries were chosen had the
largest number of companies among the Fortune 500. The extensive research on financial
ratios reveals their importance in many important decisions, including financing and
investment decisions.

intended to study the credit policy and credit appraisal of the
bank process Credit rating methods followed by the bank for different credit ranges are also
analyzed. The bank must bring more transparency in appraisal of the project there should be
explanation for a appraisal of the project that was sanctioned by higher authority. Banksconcerned should continuously monitor loans to identify accounts that have potential to
become non-performing. Nancy Arora et al (2013)8

The study is done to analyze the procedures to MSME to sanction the grant loans by LVB.
The study also aims to identify the various reasons for delay in repayment and non-
payment of loans by MSME to LVB.
The study aims at analyzing the overall profitability and NPA of the enterprises during the
period of 5 years from 2009 to 2013.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design followed for the study is descriptive and analytical in nature as the study
describes the existing facts and figures. The study is based on secondary data like loans to
MSMEs for the last five years. The secondary data was collected with the help of internal
banks websites, journals, magazines and manuals and through personal discussion with the
LVB Bank officials. The collected data were analysed using statistical tools like regression,
correlation, risk analysis etc.
PROCEDURE FOR ASSESSMENT OF CREDIT TO MSME UNITS
A simplified procedure has been adopted for sanction of working capital limits. 20% of the
projected and accepted annual turnover will be extended as working capital limit to MSE
units requiring aggregate fund based working capital limits up to Rs.7.5 crore. Borrower
has to bring in 5% of the accepted turnover as margin. Current Ratio of 1.25 will be
acceptable in such cases.
For MSE units requiring working capital limits above Rs.7.5 crore and up to Rs.10 crore,
the Maximum Permissible Bank Finance (MPBF) method based on Credit MonitoringArrangement (CMA) data will be followed.
For MSE units requiring working capital limits over Rs.10 crore, Cash budget system or
MPBF method, at the option of the borrower, will continue to be followed.
A combined working capital limit will be allowed against the stock and receivables without
any sub limit for CC against receivables. However, different margins will be fixed for stock
and receivables.
Lending will be based on scoring model for advances upto Rs.2 crores. Information
required for scoring model will be incorporated in the application form itself. No individual
risk rating is required in such cases.
If the bank sanction term loan solely or jointly with one or more Banks, working capital
limit will also be sanctioned solely or jointly (in the ratio of term loan) to avoid delay in
commencement of commercial production. It will also be ensured that there are no cases
where term loan has been sanctioned but sanction of working capital facilities is awaited.
The interest payable up to six months after commercial production will be included as part
of the project cost for assessment of credit requirements. Sufficient moratorium period say,
upto six months, after commencement of commercial production, will be allowed for
repayment of principal amount wherever required, to enable the unit establish itself in the
market.

FINDINGS
Disbursement of loans to Micro enterprises is maximum during 2013 and minimum during
2010. Reimbursement of loans is maximum during 2013 and minimum during 2009. Non-
performing asset of loans is maximum during 2012 and minimum during 2010. Disbursement
of loans to Small enterprises is maximum during 2012 and minimum during 2010 and 2013.
Reimbursement of loans is maximum during 2013 and minimum during 2009. Non-
performing asset of loans is maximum during 2009 and minimum during 2010.
As non-performing assets (NPA) is high due to loans not returned by Micro and Small
enterprises, the net profit (NP) of LVB is low. The loan disbursement and reimbursement for
2014 is estimated to be Rs 3518093.08 and Rs 141567.72. The non-performing asset by Micro
enterprises for 2014 is estimated to be Rs 2036525.36. The loan disbursement to Small
enterprises for 2014 is estimated to be Rs -1256039.32. The loan reimbursement to Small
enterprises for 2014 is estimated to be Rs 2759015.99. The loan non-reimbursement by Small
enterprises for 2014 is estimated to be Rs.1268304.96.
On an average 44.14%of the loans lent to Micro enterprises would turn out to be NPA. On an
average 59.62% of the loans lent to Small enterprises would turn out to be NPA. The raise inpercentage of NPA with Micro and Small enterprises clearly indicates decreasing profitability
of the bank. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to reduce NPA in order to improve the
profitability status of the bank. From Correlation and Regression analysis it is clear that there
is a least positive correlation between non-performing asset and loan disbursed of the bank,
which implies as the non-performing asset increases, loan disbursed decrease.

SUGGESTIONS
Loans disbursement of LVB to MSME shall be done only according to the credit appraisal
procedure of the bank.
LVB may adopt zero tolerance procedure for any deviation by MSME from the rules andregulations stated in the credit appraisal procedure.
The creditability of MSME shall be appraised by the bank based on the past transactions
with the enterprises and by conducting status enquires of the borrower.
Bank may strengthen the credit collection system, so that loans lent are collected on time
from MSME.
The recovery system of banks should be improved in order to reduce the NPA percentage
and increase profitability of the bank.
CONCLUSION
This study on the Credit appraisal procedure and disbursement of loans to MSME with special
reference to Lakshmi vilas bank,kodambakkam Branch, Chennai. Credit Appraisal is a
process to ascertain the risks associated with the extension of the credit facility. It is generally
carried by the financial institutions, which are involved in providing financial funding to its
customers. Credit risk is a risk related to non-repayment of the credit obtained by the
customer of a bank. Thus it is necessary to appraise the credibility of the customer in order to
mitigate the credit risk. Proper evaluation of the customer is performed this measures the
financial condition and the ability of the customer to repay back the Loan in future. Generally
the credits facilities are extended against the security know as collateral. But even though the
Loans are backed by the collateral, banks are normally interested in the actual Loan amount to
be repaid along with the interest. Thus, the customer's cash flows are ascertained to ensure the
timely payment of principal and the interest.
