Introduction
The etymology of the word Risk can be traced to the Latin word Rescum meaning Risk atSea or that which cuts. Risk is associated with uncertainty and reflected by way of charge on the
fundamental/ basic i.e. in the case of business it is the Capital, which is the cushion that protects
the liability holders of an institution. These risks are inter-dependent and events affecting one

area of risk can have ramifications and penetrations for a range of other categories of risks. Each
transaction that the bank undertakes changes the risk profile of the bank.
Business grows mainly by taking risk. Greater the risk, higher the profit and hence the business
unit must strike a tradeoff between the two. The essential functions of risk management are to
identify measure and more importantly monitor the profile of the bank. While Non-PerformingAssets are the legacy of the past in the present, Risk Management system is the pro-active action
in the present for the future. Managing risk is nothing but managing the change before the risk
manages. While new avenues for the bank has opened up they have brought with them new risksas well, which the banks will have to handle and overcome.
Moving towards the Basel II Framework, the RBI has adopted a three-track approach to capitaladequacy regulation in India, with the norms stipulated at varying degrees of stringency for
different categories of banks. Similar differentiated approach has been adopted in some other
jurisdictions also. This has been a deliberate choice for RBI having regard to the size, nature and
complexity of operations and relevance of different types of banks to the Indian financial sector,the need to achieve greater financial inclusion and to provide an efficient credit delivery
mechanism. Thus, the commercial banks, which account for the lions share in the total assets ofthe banking system, will be on Basel II standards while the co-operative banks will remain onBasel I norms for credit risk with surrogate measures for market risk. The Regional Rural Banks,
on the other hand, which have limited operations in rural areas, will be on non-Basel standards.
RBI has already issued the guidelines for the new capital adequacy framework in regard to Pillar
1 and Pillar 3 on April 27, 2007. Accordingly, the foreign banks operating in India and the Indian
banks having operational presence outside India were required to migrate to the StandardizedApproach for credit risk and the Basic Indicator Approach for operational risk with effect from
March 31, 2008. All other Scheduled commercial banks were encouraged to migrate to these
approaches under Basel II in alignment with them, but, in any case, not later than March 31,
2009. It has been a conscious decision to begin with the simpler approaches available under theframework, having regard to the preparedness of the banking system. As regards the market risk,
under Basel II also, the banks will continue to follow the Standardized-Duration Method as
already adopted under the Basel I framework. For migration to the advanced approachesavailable under the framework, prior approval of the RBI would be required.
History of Basel accord:
The attempts at harmonizing the capital adequacy standards internationally date back to 1988,
when the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices, as it was then
7/29/2019 Finally Final Report

named, released a capital adequacy framework, now known as Basel I. This initiative set out the
first internationally accepted framework for measuring capital adequacy and a minimum ratio to
be achieved by the banks. This norm was widely adopted in over 100 countries, and in India, itwas implemented in 1992. Over the years, however, the Basel I framework was found to have
several limitations such as its broad-brush approach to credit risk, its narrow coverage confined
to only credit and market risks, and non-recognition of credit risk mitigates, which encouragedcapital arbitrage through structured transactions. Moreover, the rapid advances in riskmanagement, information technology, banking markets and products, and banks internal
processes, during the last decade, had far outpaced the simple approach of Basel I to measuring
capital. A need was, therefore, felt to replace this Accord with a more risk-sensitive framework,which would address these shortcomings. . Accordingly, after a wide-ranging global consultative
process, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) released on June 26, 2004 the
document International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised
Framework, which was supplemented in November 2005 by an update of the Market RiskAmendment. This document, popularly known as Basel II Framework, offers a new set of
international standards for establishing minimum capital requirements for the banking
organizations. It capitalizes on the modern risk management techniques and seeks to establish amore risk-responsive linkage between the banks operations and their capital requirements. It
also provides a strong incentive to banks for improving their risk management systems. The risk
sensitiveness is sought to be achieved through the now-familiar three mutually reinforcing.
The Importance of Risk Management in Banks is extremely important. Banking is a dynamicbusiness in which new opportunities and threats are constantly emerging. Banks are in the
business of incurring, transforming and managing risk. They are also highly leveraged. Former
US Federal Reserve Chairman Mr. Alan Greenspan in April 2004 had made an interesting
comment before the Senate Committee that Only through steady and continued progress inmeasuring and understanding risk will our banking institutions remain vibrant, healthy and
competitive in meeting the growing financial demands of the nation. The need to react tomarket developments including venturing in to new business or launching new products andservices, business continuity issues, and meeting the changing regulatory requirements make risk
management a dynamic exercise. Risk management is first and foremost a science and then an
art. Given the appetite for risk, if one uses accurate and relevant data, reliable financial models
and best analytical tools, one can minimize risk and make the odds work in ones favor.

Risk is the volatility of unexpected outcomes. Risk Management is the identification and
evaluation of risks to an organization including risks to its existence, profits and reputation(solvency) and the acceptance, elimination, controlling or mitigation of the risks and the effects
of the risks. Researchers and risk management practitioners worldwide have constantly tried toimprove on techniques in measuring and managing key risks: credit risk, market risk andoperational risk. Enormous strides have been made in the art and science of risk measurement
and management for the last two decades in line with the developments in the Banking
regulatory regime worldwide through Basel I & Basel II capital accord.
Credit risk is the possibility of losses associated with changes in the credit profile of borrowers
or counterparties. These losses, associated with changes in portfolio value, could arise due todefault (single or joint) or due to deterioration in credit quality.
Default risk- obligor fails to service debt obligations
Recovery riskrecovery post default is uncertain
Spread riskcredit quality of obligor changes leading to a fall in the value of the
loan
Concentration riskover exposure to a an individual obligor, group or industry
Correlation risk- concentration based on common risk factors between different
borrowers, industries or sectors which may lead to simultaneous default.
Factors affecting credit risk (expected and unexpected losses arising out of adverse credit events)
Exposure at Default (EAD): In the event of default, how large will be the
outstanding obligations if the default takes place.
Probability of Default (PD): The probability that the obligator or counterparty
will default on its contractual obligations to repay its debt.

Loss Given Default (LGD)
LGD is the fraction of EAD that will not be recovered following default. It is the credit
loss incurred if an obligor of the bank defaults Loss Given Default is facility-specific because
such losses are generally understood to be influenced by key transaction characteristics such as
the presence of collateral and the degree of subordination.
Loss Given Default (LGD) = 1 - Recovery Rate
Loss Given Default is a common parameter in Risk Models and also a parameter used in the
calculation of Economic Capital or Regulatory Capital under Basel II for a banking institution.
This is an attribute of any exposure on bank's client.
If the bank uses the advanced IRB approach, then the Basel II accord allows it to use internal
models to estimate LGD. While initially a standard LGD allocation may be used (the foundationApproach), institutions that have adopted the IRB approach for the probability of default are
being encouraged to use the IRB approach for the LGD as well since it gives a more accurate
assessment of loss. In many cases, this added precision changes capital requirements.
Theoretically, LGD is calculated in different ways, but the most popular is 'Gross' LGD, where
total losses are divided by EAD. Another method is to divide Losses by the unsecured portion ofa credit line (where security covers a portion of EAD - Exposure at Default). This is known as
'historical' LGD. The historical RR is the sum of the cash flow received from defaulted loans
divided by total loan amount due at the time of default (EAD). Economic LGD is the economic
loss in the case of default, which can be very different from the accounting one. "Economic"means all costs (direct as well as indirect) incurred with recoveries have to be included in the
loss estimate, and that the discounting effects have to be integrated Loss-given-default (LGD) is
an important determinant of credit risk, and is the degree of uncertainty about how much thebank will not be able to collect if a borrower defaults. Because loan recovery periods may extend
over several years, it is necessary to discount post-default net cash flows to a common point in
time (the most suitable being the event of default). The LGD on defaulted loan facilities is thus
measured by the present value ofcash losses with respect to the exposure amount (EAD) at thedefaulted year. This can be estimated by calculating the present value of cash received post-
default over the year'snet discounted cost of recovery.
Ex-post: The ratio of losses post default to the book value of a defaulted obligation after default.
Ex-ante: The prediction of losses post default to the predicted Exposure at Default of a non-
defaulted obligation.

DOWNTURN LGD
Under Basel II, banks and other financial institutions are recommended to calculate 'DownturnLGD' (Downturn Loss Given Default), which reflects the losses occurring during a 'Downturn' in
a business cycle for regulatory purposes. Downturn LGD is interpreted in many ways, and most
financial institutions that are applying for IRB approval under BIS II often have differingdefinitions of what Downturn conditions are.
One definition is at least two consecutive quarters of negative growth in real GDP. Often,
negative growth is also accompanied by a negative output gap in an economy (where potentialproduction exceeds actual demand).
The calculation of LGD (or Downturn LGD) poses significant challenges to modelers and
practitioners. Final resolutions of defaults can take many years and final losses, and hence final
LGD, cannot be calculated until all of this information is ripe. Furthermore, practitioners are ofwant of data since BIS II implementation is rather new and financial institutions may have only
just started collecting the information necessary for calculating the individual elements that LGD
is composed of: EAD, direct and indirect Losses, security values and potential, expected future
recoveries. Another challenge, and maybe the most significant, is the fact that the defaultdefinitions between institutions vary. This often results in a so-called differing cure-rates or
percentage of defaults without losses. Calculation of LGD (average) is often composed of
defaults with losses and defaults without. Naturally, when more defaults without losses are addeda sample pool of observations LGD becomes lower. This is often the case when default
definitions become more 'sensitive' to credit deterioration or 'early' signs of defaults. When
institutions use different definitions, LGD parameters therefore become non-comparable.Many institutions are scrambling to produce estimates of Downturn LGD, but often resort
to 'mapping' since Downturn data is often lacking. Mapping is the process of estimating losses
under a downturn by taking existing LGD and adding a supplement or buffer, which is supposed
to represent a potential increase in LGD when Downturn occurs. LGD often decreases for some
segments during Downturn since there is a relatively larger increase of defaults that result inhigher cure-rates, often the result of temporary credit deterioration that disappears after the
Downturn Period is over. Furthermore, LGD values decrease for defaulting financial institutionsunder economic Downturns because governments and central banks often rescue these
institutions in order to maintain financial stability.
DETERMINANTS OF RECOVERY/LGD:
Empirically it has been observed that recovery rate (and hence LGD) is dependent on
The banks behavior in terms of debt renegotiation with debtors, compromise and settlements which are country specific.
The quality of collateral attached to loans Firm specific capital structure: Seniority standing of debt in the firm's overall capital
structure, leverage etc.
Industry tangibility: The value of liquidated assets dependent on the industry of theborrower.
Macro economic factors: industrial production, GDP growth, unemployment rate,
Interest rate and other macro economic factors have strong influence on LGD

IMPORTANCE OF LGD: LGD is not an issue for the standardized approach. The IRBF approach relies on values
furnished by the regulators. Institutions planning for the AIRB need to develop methods to estimate LGD, the credit
loss incurred if an obligor of the bank defaults, which is a key component to the credit
risk capital or risk weight. LGD is an important input for calculation of Expected and Unexpected Credit Loss and
Portfolio Economic Capital. According to BIS (June 2006) institutions implementing Advanced-IRB instead of
Foundation-IRB will experience larger decreases in Tier 1 capital, and the internal
calculation of LGD is a factor separating the two Methods.
Estimates of LGD are key parameters in a bank's risk-rating system that impact facility
ratings, approval levels, and the setting of loss reserves, as well as developing creditcapital underlying risk and profitability calculations.
For Regulatory Purpose:
CALCULATING LGD UNDER THE FOUNDATION APPROACHUnder Basel II to calculate the risk-weighted asset, which goes into the determination of therequired capital for a bank or financial institution, the institution has to use an estimate of the
LGD for each corporate, sovereign and bank exposure. There are two approaches for deriving
this estimate: a foundation approach and an advanced approach.
EXPOSURE WITHOUT COLLATERAL
Under the foundation approach, BIS prescribes fixed LGD ratios for certain classes of unsecured
exposures:
Senior claims on corporates, sovereigns and banks not secured by recognized
collateral attract a 45% LGD. All subordinated claims on corporates, sovereigns and banks attract a 75% LGD.
EXPOSURE WITH COLLATERALThe effective loss given default (LGD*) applicable to a collateralized transaction can be
expressed as
LGD* = LGD x (E* / E)
Where:LGD is that of the senior unsecured exposure before recognition of collateral (45%).
E is the current value of the exposure (i.e. cash lent or securities lent or posted)
E* should be calculated based on the following formula:E* = max {0, [E x (1 + He)C x (1HcHfx)]}
Where:
E* = the exposure value after risk mitigation
E = current value of the exposureHe = haircut appropriate to the exposure
C = the current value of the collateral received
7/29/2019 Finally Final Report

12
Hc = haircut appropriate to the collateral
Hfx = haircut appropriate for currency mismatch between the collateral and exposure (The
standard supervisory haircut for currency risk where exposure and collateral are denominated indifferent currencies is 8%).
The *He and *Hc has to be derived from the following table of standard supervisory haircuts:
However, under certain special circumstances the supervisors, i.e. the local central banks maychoose not to apply the haircuts specified under the comprehensive approach, but instead toapply a zero H.

LGD for unsecured & collateralized exposures as per RBIs IRB guidelines
(December 22, 2011) as per RBI:
CALCULATING LGD UNDER THE ADVANCED APPROACH
Under the A-IRB approach, the bank itself determines the appropriate Loss given default to be
applied to each exposure, on the basis of robust data and analysis. The analysis must be capable
of being validated both internally and by supervisors. Thus, a bank using internal Loss GivenDefault estimates for capital purposes might be able to differentiate
Loss Given Default values on the basis of a wider set of transaction characteristics (e.g. product
type, wider range of collateral types) as well as borrower characteristics. These values would be
expected to represent a conservative view of long-run averages. A bank wishing to use its ownestimates of LGD will need to demonstrate to its supervisor that it can meet additional minimum
requirements pertinent to the integrity and reliability of these estimates.

APPROACHES FOR LGD ESTIMATES UNDER AIRB APPROCH:Supervisors may permit banks to use their own internal estimates of LGD for corporate,
sovereign and bank exposures (and for retail loans also). LGD must be measured as the lossgiven default as a percentage of the EAD.
There might be significant differences in LGD estimation methods across institutions and across
portfolios some of which are listed below:
Market LGD: observed from market prices of defaulted bonds or marketable loans
soon after the actual default event. For marketable bonds and loans, the rating agenciesattempt to report the trading price of a defaulted obligation one month after default.
Implied Market LGD: LGDs derived from risky (but not defaulted) bond prices
(credit spreads) using a theoretical asset pricing model.
Workout LGD: This is the observed loss at the end of a workout process. This isbased on the discount of future cash flows resulting from the workout process from the
date of default to the end of the recovery process.
Drawback in Market LGD:
First it is limited to listed bonds, that are unsecured most of the time and thus bank cannotdraw such figures to compare their loss because bank loans are often backed by various
forms of collateral.
Secondly, secondary market prices of loans are not available in India.
With respect to the implied market LGD approach may be applicable for estimating up to BBB
category of corporate assets as bond spreads are not available for non-investment grades (below
BBB). For most bank loans, such market information will not be available, and a bank will haveto calculate the economic LGD from its own internal records. This requires discounting of all net
cash flows received at an appropriate discount rate. To determine LGD, a bank must be able toidentify accurately the borrowers that actually defaulted, the exposures outstanding at the time of
default and the amount and timing of repayments ultimately received along with the carryingcosts of non-performing loans/facilities (e.g. interest income foregone and workout expenses like
collection charges, legal charges, etc.). In addition, demographic information pertaining to the
borrower, including industry assignment, public or private designation (constitution) andgeographic domicile, are important for developing LGD estimates that are segmented according
these characteristics. Finally the structural elements of the defaulted facilities, such as whether
the banks interest is senior (according to claim: viz. first charge or second charge) orsubordinated and whether it has received any collateral, collateral segmentation etc. should be
noted.
Therefore I will be doing my project primarily on workout LGD. The workout LGD, values lossusing information from the workout. The loss associated with a defaulted facility is calculated bydiscounting the cash flows, including costs, resulting from the workout from the date of default
to the end of the recovery process. The loss is then measured as a percentage of the exposure at
default. The timing of cash flows and both the method and rate of discount are crucial in this
approach.There are four main issues that arise when using the workout approach to compute the loss of a
defaulted facility.
7/29/2019 Finally Final Report

First, it is important to use the appropriate discount rate.
Second, there are different possibilities about how to treat zero or negative LGDobservations in the reference data.
Third, the measurement and allocation of costs associated with workout can be
complicated. Fourth, it is not clear how to define the completion of a workout.
Workout LGD
This section looks at the process of computing the workout loss of a defaulted facility, anddiscusses issues related to the measurement of the various components of the workout LGD
including recoveries, costs and the discount rate.
Components of workout LGDThere are three main components for computing a workout loss: the recoveries (cash or
noncash), the costs (direct and indirect) and the discount factor that will be fundamental to
express all cash-flows in terms of monetary units at the date of default. If all the cash flowsassociated with a defaulted facility from the date of default to the end of the recovery process are
known (i.e. we have complete information) then the realised LGD, measured as percentage of the
EAD at the time of default, is given by:
Realised LGD=1- [Ri(r)-Pj(r)/EAD]
where Ri is each of the i discounted recoveries of the defaulted facility, Pj is each of the jdiscounted payments or costs during the recovery period and r represents a discount rate.
Objective:
To get an insight of whole Risk Management currently being practiced in Indian Banks.
To study the current method use for estimating LGD and recovery factors by Indian
Banks..
To see the effect of various extreme scenarios through creating templates and how
historical and economic LGD is changing accordingly.
To study the dynamic method of calculating LGD and scope for its implementation inIndian Banks.
To do analysis of LGD estimates with help of a sample data of a bank and comparing the
results.

Scope of Project:
Loss Given Default is an essential input into the process of lending, investing, trading, or pricing
of loans, bonds, preferred stock, lines of credit, and letters of credit. Accurate LGD estimates are
important for provisioning reserves for credit losses, calculating risk capital, and determining fairpricing for credit risky obligations. Accurate estimates of LGD are fundamental to calculating
potential credit losses. So it is extremely important for Indian Banks to have effective models in
place to measure LGD and this project helps to determine various methods by which LGD can bemeasured for loans, bonds and stocks and various validation methods for these models.

Empirically it has been observed that recovery rate (and hence LGD) is dependent on
The banks behavior in terms of debt renegotiation with debtors, compromise and settlementswhich are country specific.
The quality of collateral attached to loans.
Firm specific capital structure: Seniority standing of debt in the firm's overall capital structure,leverage etc.
Industry tangibility: The value of liquidated assets dependent on the industry of the borrower.
Macro economic factors: industrial production, GDP growth, unemployment rate, interest rateand other macro economic factors have strong influence on LGD.
CLASSIFICATION OF FACILITY TYPE:
Various credit facilities extended by bank can be classified into two categories viz. fund based
and non-fund based. When bank places certain funds at the disposal of borrowers and
borrowers avail these funds, such types of credit facilities are known as fund based.However,
there are certain types of advances which do not involve deployment of funds at least at theinitial stage though in contingencies funds are also involved. These arecalled non-fund based
advances.
Fund based credit facilities included in the database, used for the study are as following :-
1. Overdraft2. Cash-credit
3. Demand loan
4. Term loan5. Purchasing/Discounting of bills
6. Advanced Bills
7. Packing Credit8. Foreign Bills Purchased
9. Working Capital loan
1. Non-Fund based facility are as follows:
1. Letter of Credit2. Bank Guarantee
Above mentioned all the 10 categories of facility type were considered in the study. The sample Ihave taken for the bank which is south based small sized bank the facility with the borrowerswas only Term loan and Working capital loan wise.

BALANCE OUTSTANDING AT THE TIME OF DEFAULT:It is the outstanding balance at the time of default and it includes the interest suspenseamount. However, in many cases this amount was not available with the bank as the
amount outstanding was adjusted with the amount recovered during the years of default
(period between the date of default and date of compromise) thus reducing it by therecovered amount.

The Data sample used here is for a small size south based bank of 64 borrowers. Data
used here is as per a format having information related to the above mentioned variables
categories and other factors like IIP, contractual lending rates etc. Based on the data the
LGD was calculated in two ways:
1) HISTORICAL LGD:
This is a simply 1- recovery rate. The recovery till date had been reduced by the recovery
cost. This amount was used in the numerator.
This was divided by the EAD (denominator). This gave the recovery rates.
2) ECONOMIC LGD (DISCOUNTED CASHFLOW LGD):
The amount recovered till date was reduced by the recovery cost. This amount was
discounted @10.00% for the number of years in default. This gave the discounted
recovery. It was then divided by EAD (denominator). This rate is the recovery rate. The
recovery was flatly discounted by a single rate of discount.

LGD according to collateral frequency:
The collateral which was revalued semiannually has higher recovery but this was not obvious as
for Quarterly or more frequently the recovery should be more. The reason might be in
semiannual collateral value the number of borrowers are 3 only and there can be the case that the
exposure here is small and recovery is also good but for quarterly or more there are 53 borrowerswith LGD of 63.57% and recovery here will be less. The LGD collateral frequency wise is as

DIFFICULTIES & SUGGESTIONS:
First, data limitations pose an important challenge to the estimation of LGD parameters ingeneral, and of LGD parameters consistent with economic downturn conditions in particular.
Hence we suggest, that bank should have a systematic method of recording the data.
Second, Due to the non-availability of some of the important data with the bank like year-wise
recovery, amount outstanding at the time of default etc., some assumptions were used (explainedin the detailed description of the data). This has led to the lower accuracy in the estimation of the
LGD.
Third, the bank needs to have some people who are especially involved in the process ofcollecting the required data for the future studies. The appropriate data is the backbone of anystatistical study.
Fourth, had there been enough data, the model would have given better results. Therefore, we
suggest bank to recalibrate the model with bigger sample data and validate it with a handout
sample before putting it to use.
Fifth, Since LGD estimation is the dynamic process, we suggest the bank to revalue collateralin a more frequent interval.

RECOMMENDATIONS FORFUTURE STUDY:
This study can be further extended to rate the borrower through a LGD rating model.
Bank can rate the borrower on the basis of the predicted recovery rates, which the model
will estimate. Based on this estimation benchmarking can be done for different category
of borrowers. The borrower with the highest recovery rates will be given AAA grade.Similarly grades can be benchmarked for the lower grades. Thus the facility rating and
the borrower rating can be clubbed together, if the bank uses the LGD rating Model.
However before carrying forward the exercise the model should be validated with
handout sample. Moreover bank need to have the rating information of the borrower.
Also here the static results of collateral are used but in future bank must focus on
dynamic value of collateral for which bank must do revaluation of collateral regularly.

Executive Summary

Building a Recovery Model from loss perspective is hard. This is because it is difficult to
get enough predictive data since there are few commercial defaults. Therefore, the time
needed to collect default data was substantial. Total default data used in estimating therecovery model was of 68 defaulted borrowers.
There are different approaches to calculate LGD. In this project, on the basis of data
available for study, Ive calculated it in two ways, namely the historical or accounting
LGD, Economic LGD. The historical LGD is the calculated by directly dividing the net
recovery till date with the EAD, the economic LGD was calculated by discounting the net
recovery till date, at the rate 10.00%.
Some interesting results were as follows: The weighted average actual LGD for the bank
studied in this paper is 68.52%.
On further analysis it was found that the Automobile industry had higher LGD compared
to the manufacturing or trading industry. Facility-wise analysis shows that the bank hashigher recovery rates in case of working capital loan facility than in case of term loan
facility.
The defaulted accounts that were compromised and settled had lower LGD than the
accounts that were compromised and partly settled (recovery was in progress).
The sector-wise analysis indicated that the highest rate of recovery was in the other sector
followed by the manufacturing and infrastructure sector, while the lowest recovery was
from the Trading and merchant export sector.
The margin less than 50% is highest means recovery will be lowest for these borrowers
which has to be the case. The mean economic LGD with 10% discount rate is
84.14%.While it is minimum for borrowers with margin of greater than 100% and it is66.49% which was very obvious.
