CLARIFICATION ON NAYAK

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS • The assessment of credit limitsfor all borrwers enjoying credit limits

less than 1crores--(fund based)is to be granted on higher of the 2 limits

assessed on the basis of traditional &turn over methods

• Where the w/c cycle is shorter than 3months the w/c requirements

would be less than 25%of the PTO

• If the liquid surplus available is more than 5%of the T/Othe limit can

Operational clearification on

Nayak commt. Contd. • fixed at a lower than 20% of the T/O

• The units having operating cycle more than 3monhs should be

provided proper limits since 20% T/O is the minimum

• In case of seasonal industries peak/nonpeak level should be considered

instead of annual turn over.

• Creditos & OCL are to be considered as source of funds for building

C/A & will be treated in the same manner as in traditional method

• The borrwer”s contribution should be 5%ofT/O except where the w/c

cycle is not taken as3 monthsThe margin will proportionately increase

with increase in period of operating cycle.Care to maintain 1:4 ratio

should be ensured. Higher liquidity surplus could be considered.

Dilution less than 5% could be considered except in sick units

Operational clearification on

Nayak commt. Recomm. • The sub limits against various componets of stock,Receivables are

sanctioned based on norms of inventory & receivables .Banks should

adopt a flexible approach.

• Monitoring of borrowal account based on stock ,book debt

statements.actual turn over on monhly basis,Auditor”s certificate on

6”monhly basis.This would help in arriving effective operational

limits.

• In order to check the validity of projection of existing units actuals for

last 5 years ,esimates ,prjections including true analysis of industries to

which the borrowing unit belongs is useful.Other information like

modernisation, expansion,manufg.

Capacity,govt.policy,taxation,external&internal factors are relevent.
