Complete details of bond issues with outstanding ratings in Annexure I. RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK: Brickwork Ratings (BWR) assigns the “BWR A-”/Stable rating to the proposed perpetual debt instrument and reaffirms the “BWR A-”/Stable rating of the innovative perpetual debt instrument of Maharashtra Gramin Bank (MGB or the bank), as tabulated above. The rating draws comfort from the sovereign ownership and sponsor bank’s support, healthy resource profile and comfortable overall financial risk profile. However, the rating is constrained by inherent political and regulatory risks associated with regional rural banks (RRBs) and modest asset quality. BWR believes MGB’s credit risk profile will be maintained over the medium term. The Stable outlook indicates a low likelihood of a rating change over the medium term. Description of Key Rating Drivers ● Credit Strengths: Sovereign ownership and sponsor bank’s support: Maharashtra Gramin Bank draws comfort from the co-ownership of the Government of India with a 50% shareholding, state government of Maharashtra with a 15% shareholding and balance 35% of the sponsor bank, Bank of Maharashtra. The sovereign ownership provides it with the 1 required support in building and retaining the depositors trust and enables it to meet credit requirements for economic activities under the rural sector. The bank is able to avail refinance from entities such as NABARD and NHB for meeting the rural credit requirement. The sponsor bank’s support with its senior leadership in MGB provides it with the required managerial support and guidance. Healthy resource profile: MGB has an established network of 412 branches and 7 ​ regional offices across 17 districts in the state of Maharashtra. The high penetration supported by the nature of regional rural banks has assisted a healthy resource profile and steady deposit base. The bank’s total deposits grew by 15.27% for the year ending 31 March 2020 and further by 11.36% as on 31 December 2020. The low cost current and savings account (CASA) deposits have a significant share in the total deposits, and the ratio improved to 54.86% as on 31 March 2020 from 53.58% as on 31 March 2019. The same stood at 51.19% as on 31 December 2020 and is expected to be around 55% for fiscal year 2021. MGB’s CASA ratio is one of the highest among its peers. Term Deposits contribute to 45% and top 20 depositors contribute to ~15% of total deposits. The cost of deposit was moderate, at 4.15% which improved from 4.88% as on 31 March 2020 and 5.02% as on 31 March 2019. Comfortable overall financial risk profile: MGB’s capitalisation is comfortable, with a ​ total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 9.67% as on 31 Dec 2020 and 10.58% as on 31 March 2020 (10.14% as on 31 March 2019). The bank follows Basel II regulatory guidelines and has a total CAR well above the minimum regulatory requirement of 9%. The bank is expected to remain well-capitalised over the medium term. The tangible net worth is comfortable and stood at Rs. 528 Crs as on 31 December 2020 which improved from Rs. 482 Crs as on 31 March 2020. The improvement in Net Worth is on account of an increase in net profits. The bank’s net interest income increased to Rs. 383 Crs for FY20 (FY19: Rs. 338 Crs); however, net profits reduced in FY20 due to higher levels of operating expenses. The additional provision requirements of Rs.111 Crs for the bank under the pension scheme for RRBs has constituted the major part of operating expenses. In FY20, the bank made provisions amounting to Rs. 144 Crs under the scheme, as against the required amount of Rs.111 Crs to be made over the next four years. Net profits reduced to Rs. 27.19 Crs in FY20 from Rs.39.78 Crs in FY19. However, the company reported a net profit of Rs. 46 Crs as on 31 December 2020 and the same is expected to be around Rs.65 CR as on March 21. ● Credit Risks: Modest asset quality: MGB’s asset quality continues to remain modest, with a moderate ​ absolute quantum of gross non-performing assets (NPAs) of Rs. 320.49 Crs as on 31 December 2020 (Rs. 399.98 Crs as on 31 March 2020) and net NPAs of Rs. 132.4 Crs as on 31 December 2020 (Rs.197.40 Crs as on 31 March 2019). The gross NPA% and net NPA% reduced to 4.61% (7.91% on 31 March 2020) and 1.99% (3.90% on 31 March 2020), respectively, as on 31 December 2020, however, the same remains minitorable. 2 The total advances increased to Rs. 6848.77 Crs as on 31 December 2020 from Rs. 5057.92 Crs as on 31 March 2020. The level of NPA write-off as on 31 December 2020 stood at Rs. 9.43 Crs against Rs 30.91 Crs for fiscal year 2020. The bank is focusing on recoveries from NPAs and has recovered Rs. 61.15 Crs in Q3 FY21. As a further step towards increasing recoveries, MGB launched a one-time settlement scheme in the last week of July valid until 31 March 2021. The bank’s loan book remains moderately vulnerable to the Covid-19 crisis in the economy and has extended a 100% moratorium to all standard accounts as per its policy. Around 93% of the total advances are to the priority sector engaged in agricultural activities with an annual repayment cycle in every September of the fiscal year. The bank has achieved 62.5% of annual (June 2020 to June 2021) collections as on 31 December 2020. Going ahead, the bank’s ability to achieve the expected collection efficiency and improve the asset quality in FY21 will be a key rating monitorable. Inherent risks associated with RRBs: The purpose of RRBs is to meet the funding ​ requirement of rural and semi-urban areas. The area of operation of RRBs is limited to the area as notified by the Government of India, covering one or more districts in the state of operation. Due to the limited permissible area of operation, the bank faces geographical concentration rise, which provides a limited avenue for business growth. The majority of the advances are given to the agriculture and alleged activities sector and inherently, the sector is dependent on seasons and natural resources. MGB’s advances are exposed to agro-climatic risks, and the resulting frequent loan waivers impinge the performance of the bank. In FY20, Maharashtra was hit by untimely rains affecting the harvest of crops, and the state government declared a crop loan waiver effective from 1 October 2019. Rs. 880 Crs of advances were outstanding under crop loans with MGB. The bank received Rs. 721 Crs from the GoM against waived loans by Dec 2020, and as per the bank’s officials, the balance was expected by March 2021. The bank remains exposed to the geo-political and geographical risks associated with concentrated business in the single state of Maharashtra. Analytical Approach For arriving at its ratings, BWR has applied its rating methodology as detailed in the Rating Criteria below (hyperlinks provided at the end of this rationale). Perpetual Bond The said perpetual bond issue of Rs.10.11 Cr is subscribed by the Sponsor Bank. It raised Rs. 8.28 Cr of the said bonds in March 2014 and Rs.1.83 Cr utilisation in March 2015. The coupon @ 9.50% p.a. is serviceable annually. The redemption of these bonds can be made with the approval of the RBI, with the bank having a call option at the end of 10 years from the date of allotment. Innovative Perpetual Debt Instruments (under Basel II) Debt instruments of this nature are covered under the Basel II norms. The key distinguishing feature of such instruments is the triggering of the default from a rating perspective in the event 3 of a breach of the minimum capital adequacy ratios of 9% or the CAR goes below 9% on the payment of the coupon (as per regulators extant Basel II guidelines). Another feature is that, provided the CAR is greater than 9%, prior approval from the RBI is mandated if the coupon payment results in a net loss or increases the net loss. Generally, such instruments are perpetual in nature and have a call option on the completion of 10 years. To factor in these risks, BWR notches down the rating on these instruments from the bank's corporate credit rating. RATING SENSITIVITIES The bank’s ability to significantly recover from non-performing assets and grow its portfolio while improving asset quality and profitability will be key rating sensitivities. Positive: Significant growth in the portfolio with a sustained improvement in the asset quality and profitability and the strengthening of the balance sheet through the infusion of additional capital will be key positives for the bank.

  • Regional Rural Banks
    Course Name:-B.A.LLB-IVth Sem Subject:-Economics-IV Teacher:-Ms.Munesh Topic: - Regional Rural Banks Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) are Indian Scheduled Commercial Banks (Government Banks) operating at regional level in different States of India. They have been created with a view of serving primarily the rural areas of India with basic banking and financial services. However, RRBs may have branches set up for urban operations and their area of operation may include urban areas too. The area of operation of RRBs is limited to the area as notified by Government of India covering one or more districts in the State. RRBs also perform a variety of different functions. RRBs perform various functions in following heads: Providing banking facilities to rural and semi-urban areas. Carrying out government operations like disbursement of wages of MGNREGA workers, distribution of pensions etc. Providing Para-Banking facilities like locker facilities, debit and credit cards, mobile banking, internet banking,UPI etc. Small financial banks. History Regional Rural Banks were established under the provisions of an Ordinance passed on 26 September 1975 and the RRB Act 1976 to provide sufficient banking and credit facility for agriculture and other rural sectors. As a result, Five Regional Rural Banks were set up on 2 October 1975,Gandhi Jayanti. These were set up on the recommendations of The narshimham committee Working Group during the tenure of Indira Gandhi's Government with a view to include rural areas into economic mainstream since that time about 70% of the Indian Population was of Rural Orientation. The development process of RRBs started on 2 October 1975,Gandhi Jayanti with the forming of the five RRBs.
