BASEL II Primer: New Capital Adequacy Framework for Banks

- by Vijay Singh Poonia *

Credit Risk

Main business of banks is to lend to lenders, but there is an inherent risk of that loan going bad, so banks must make appropriate provisions in their balance sheet for such "credit risks" and must keep a certain amount of capital aside. Banks are required to
maintain a minimum "Capital to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio" (CRAR) of 9% on an ongoing basis. Capital funds are broadly classified as Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital.

Elements of Tier 1 Capital

  • Paid-up equity capital, Statutory Reserves, and other disclosed free reserves, if any;

  • Capital reserves representing surplus arising out of sale proceeds of assets;

  • Innovative perpetual debt instruments eligible for inclusion in Tier 1 Capital which comply with regulatory requirements (limited to 15% of total Tier 1 Capital and excess will be eligible for inclusion under Tier 2 Capital, subject to limits prescribed for Tier 2 Capital).

    Elements of Tier 2 Capital (should not exceed 100% of Tier 1 Capital)

  • Revaluation Reserves

  • General Provisions and Loss Reserves

  • Hybrid debt capital instruments

  • Subordinated Debt

    Methods of Measuring Capital Allocation for Credit Risk

  • Standardised Approach

  • Foundation Internal Rating Based Approach

  • Advanced Internal Rating Based Approach (Securitisation Framework)
