RBI allows United Bank of India to consider loan proposals up to Rs 200 crore

11 Jun 2014 Evaluate

Public sector lender United Bank of India has been allowed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to consider loan proposals up to Rs 200 crore from 'AAA'-rated companies. This relaxation on the lending front was allowed by RBI on account of bank’s improving capital-adequacy ratio under Basel-III and its plan to raise an additional Rs 575 crore of capital shortly to shore up the capital adequacy.

The banking regulator had capped the lender's loan sanctioning power to Rs 10 crore following a rise in its bad assets and dip in the capital adequacy ratio. Further, with this development, lender can raise its exposure to the corporate sector.

However, the regulator has relaxed the cap with some caveats. As per the latter dated June 3, RBI has allowed bank to consider loan proposals up to Rs 200 crore from AAA rated PSUs and corporate borrowers subject to ensuring that its CD (credit-deposit) ratio and CRAR (capital to risk-weighted asset ratio) is not dipping beyond 70% and 9% respectively as on June 30, 2014.

Meanwhile, the bank expects to shore up its capital adequacy ratio by raising Rs 575 crore worth capital by this quarter end by converting perpetual non-cumulative preference shares to common equity in favour of the government and allotting equity shares to LIC on a preferential basis.
