Introduction

Bank is a financial intermediary whose prime function is to move scarce resources in the
form of credit from savers to those who borrow for consumption and investment. In a
modern society, banks are very much important to the economy because of their ability to
create money. Lending comprises a very large portion of a bank's total assets and forms
the backbone of the bank. Interest on lending constitutes the highest proportion of income
of a bank. As such, credit uality remains the prime indicator of a bank's success.
!nsound "redit reduces the ability of a bank to provide credit towards good borrowers
and undermine liuidity and solvency. #herefore good lending practice is very important
for the profitability and success of a bank.
#o achieve a perceptible improvement in the credit delivery system of the bank, it is
necessary to develop a sound credit policy and use modern techniues for credit
appraisal. Lending involves the risk of default. $roper analysis of the credit proposals is
reuired to assess the risks in a uantifiable manner and then find out ways and means to
cover the risk. #he degree of risk associated with a credit must be %udged properly before
approval. Lending is a %udgment, which depends on the ability to assess the shortcomings
in the proposal and identify the risk involved. #he ability to take proper and timely
measures to minimi&e the risk is very important for the purpose.
#he modern concept of lending has shifted from the security'oriented approach to
business viability one. #he emphasis is given on the likelihood of repayment, business
viability, management competence and management integrity of the proposed debtor. As
the prevailing legal system of the country makes it difficult for the bank to depend on
collateral, the ultimate security of the bank is the commercial success of the borrower.
Adeuate emphasis on management and business risks is important as much as analysis
of security risk.

Introduction
"redit administration is one of the most discussed matters in our country, which is
suffering seriously for rapid e)pansion of banks default loan. It occurs because of
selection of loan proposal with false or fabricated data, poor credit administration,
political pressure etc. Banks are alleged to continuously preparing various types of acts
for preventing default cost and ensuring perfect lending. *o I decided to work in such an
important and interesting field.
