DHFL enters into mortgage guarantee contract with IMGC

03 Apr 2014 Evaluate

India's second largest housing finance company in the private sector, Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL) has entered into a mortgage guarantee contract with Indian Mortgage Guarantee Corporation (IMGC). This offers Dewan Housing a first loss guarantee on its pool of priority sector housing loans. In a first of its kind transaction, DHFL has securitized this pool of priority sector housing loans with a Mortgage Guarantee to a Trust and the Pass through Certificates issued by the Trust have been subscribed to by ICICI Bank. The pool has been provisionally rated ‘AAA (SO)’ by CARE.

The cash flow and first loss support provided by IMGC to the pool of housing loans has enabled DHFL to reduce the level of credit enhancement (cash collateral) that would have otherwise been required for the transaction. This would result in release of capital (tier I) which can be redeployed to earn higher returns. As per existing structure of a securitization transaction, the Originator of the pool is required to provide credit enhancement and liquidity support in the form of cash collateral as a Fixed Deposit with Banks or by over collateralization (also called subordination).

Dewan Housing Finance Corporation (DHFL) is one of the largest housing finance companies in India with the total asset size and loan portfolio of Rs.41,100 crore and Rs.37,849 crore respectively as on Dec. 31, 2013. The company’s target segment is primarily salaried individuals in lower and middle-income groups in Tier II and III cities.
