PSB’s risk assessment capability lower than private sector counterparts: Chakrabarty

17 Dec 2012 Evaluate

Underscoring that risk assessment capability of state-run banks is lower than private sector counterparts, RBI Deputy Governor K C Chakrabarty has urged Public Sector Bank’s (PSB) to develop the habit of saying 'no' to unviable proposals. Knowingly giving money to some unviable projects, is a governance issue, he said.

The RBI deputy governor attributed the problem of rising bad assets mostly to poor administration and low risk management practices at state lenders. He averred, unfortunately, a combination of factors is responsible for this. Fundamentally, it is a structural issue, a skills issue and a governance issue. Further, highlighting that the poor borrowers are subsidizing the rich, Chakrabarty reported that it was not the small borrower who is a threat to banking as his repayment track record is far better than larger ones. ‘Loans to big corporate are a problem’ Chakrabarty added.

According to the RBI data, gross NPAs of public sector banks (PSBs) rose to 3.3% as on end March 2012, from 2.4% a year ago, while for private lenders, the ratio declined to 2.1% from 2.5% during the same period. Further, a recent ICRA report also warned of bad assets book of banks crossing the Rs 2-trillion-mark or about 3.8 per cent of the total asset book this fiscal, driven mostly by public sector banks.
