Lending, which is a balance-sheet activity, will converge into a service activity through the co-lending model, said Shachindra Nath, VC & MD, U GRO Capital at a panel discussion at ETBFSI Converge Summit 2022. Co-lending is similar to the story of a Bollywood movie '2 States', where you have to bring together two different backgrounds together, he said, adding, however, the regulatory force and policy push will have to make the marriage work. PSL push Vikrant Narang, Deputy CEO, Ambit Finvest said banks could not fulfil the priority sector lending (PSL) target last year He said due to this trading of PSL certificates, which banks have to obtain from those who have done excess PSL, was about Rs 86.5 lakh crore last year. If they cannot meet the PSL target banks have to invest in rural infrastructure development bonds (RIDP) at 200 basis points below the repo rate. The current RIDP outstanding was about Rs 2.5 lakh crore, he said, adding that the co-lending model can help banks in meeting the PSL targets. For NBFCs, co-lending allows off-balance sheet funding, who otherwise have to raise funds from banks. NBFCs can leverage 3-4 times their balance sheets after which they need to raise capital to maximise returns on equity and investment. He said co-lending allows 1-2 times of off-balance-sheet lending, optimising returns. "We are at the cusp of co-lending strategy, which will open up and become broad as we go," he said. NBFCs also have to put in 25 per cent capital so there is a risk too, while NBFCs are bringing customers whom banks may not target, he said. Liability providers Mehernosh Tata, CEO, Edelweiss Retail Finance said most of the banks are liability providers. "When you are signing with the lending partner there is an agreed credit cost, and if we are within that it would be fine," he said. About 96 per cent of Indian MSMEs are micro while 85 per cent of these have shown us that if we give capital to them they're responsible, which makes co-lending an appropriate proposition, he said. "If synergies between banks and NBFCs work well we're going to see a much better reach to the unserved and underserved," he said. Co-lending is in its honeymoon period right now where everybody is happy. That is because we have started strong and hopefully the portfolio will continue to grow," he said. The regulator, he said, is very progressive and turned the initial co-orinigination circular and gave the co-lending journey a start in true spirit. K V Srinivasan, ED and CEO, Profectus Capital said, "Banks are excellent in taking deposits but not in credit. So a handshake with NBFCs becomes very relevant." Co-lending in India is at its nascent stage, he said, adding it will have its ripples before it becomes a vibrant and efficient engine. "If there's a deficiency in banks, co-lending automatically becomes a potent model," he said.

The Indian central bank always viewed lending against shares as a risky activity because a sudden collapse in stock prices could leave banks holding worthless paper. They can lend only up to Rs 20 lakh, a rule that was set after the so-called Harshad Mehta scam of 1992. * MC Govardhana Rangan , * Saloni Shukla & * Bodhisatva Ganguli * ET Bureau Click Here to Read This Story * * * * * * * * Rules governing the Indian financial sector need to be rewritten to realise the economy's growth potential, said Kotak Mahindra Bank managing director Uday Kotak. Domestic banks are losing out to global rivals without the leeway to build scale and the inability to underwrite riskier credit due to poor recoveries from bankrupt companies, he said in an interview. India is well placed to upstage China on the global platform with the banking industry at a "Cinderella" moment that provides scope for expanding loans to deleveraged corporates, he said. "Indian banks are losing big time to international banks," Kotak said. "As a banker, with adequate margin, I would have been very comfortable to lend against the security of Ambuja Cements and ACC shares," he said, referring to Adani's buyout of the companies from Holcim. "But in this case, foreign banks have lent the money. It had to be an offshore transaction because no bidder in India could get money from Indian banks." Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rules restrict Indian banks from lending to companies for takeovers. The Indian central bank always viewed lending against shares as a risky activity because a sudden collapse in stock prices could leave banks holding worthless paper. They can lend only up to Rs 20 lakh, a rule that was set after the so-called Harshad Mehta scam of 1992. Kotak, who was tasked with the recovery of money from the nation's biggest bankruptcy in 2018 - the blow-up of Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services - said the insolvency code is fine in principle. But signs of meagre recoveries from the insolvencies of conglomerates and non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) such as Reliance Capital and Srei call for a review, apart from a public interest board for large defaults. Also Read: Corporate India should really get the animal spirits back: Uday Kotak "I am not saying we need to junk the IBC (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code) option," said Kotak. "There has to be a policy think on this. We have to figure out that for large national assets, we must think about the public interest route. The objective of the public interest board is to optimise value for stakeholders, which we have demonstrated in IL&FS. And IBC may not be the only route. It needs to be relooked at even for NBFC resolutions." India's investment cycle has to return and the entrepreneurial spirit has to blossom, he said. Initial public offering (IPO) hype and excessive valuations in the secondary market can't be taken for granted as gravity can't be defied. India with its economic foundations is a strategic play for global investors. But it could be losing out in the short term as the battered valuations of Chinese stocks make them a short-term option. "One positive thing is, on a strategic basis, people are concerned about long-term China," said Kotak. "On a strategic basis, India should get higher percentage allocations. But on a tactical basis, a trader might say I would have a quick hit and run in China. Tactically, traders may take a short-term view, which could be different. And I think this is a game you need to watch closer every one to three months before taking a one-year view at this stage.''

Natrust's loan book was over Rs 300 crore. * Atmadip Ray * ET Bureau Click Here to Read This Story * * * * * * * * Centrum Housing Finance will pay Rs 112 crore to buy the business of National Trust Housing Finance (Natrust). Both the companies have entered into a binding business transfer agreement on Saturday. Centrum Housing will acquire the housing finance business including the loan portfolio, branches and employees, the Centrum group said in a regulatory filing to stock exchanges. Natrust's loan book was over Rs 300 crore. ET had on Friday reported the possibility of the deal. Centrum had its loan portfolio at around Rs 700 crore at the end of September. "The acquisition consolidates our presence in South India, and will help us further increase our penetration across our chosen geographies,” Centrum Group executive chairman Jaspal Bindra was quoted as saying in a statement issued by it. “There is a growing demand for affordable housing in India, beyond metros and tier 1 cities too. Small cities are witnessing a higher demand driven by greater urbanisation, digitisation, better infrastructure and connectivity," Bindra said. Natrust is a Chennai based affordable housing finance company with a presence in 17 locations across four states in South India. Centrum Housing is present in nine states -- Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan; and in Delhi.

In comparison, the highest bid value received by the lenders of Reliance Capital is Rs 5,231 crore from the consortium of Cosmea Financial and Piramal Group. * PTI Click Here to Read This Story * * * * * * * * Independent valuers have given a liquidation value of up to Rs 13,000 crore for Reliance Capital, sources said. The Reliance Capital administrator, in the Committee of Creditors (CoC) meeting held on Wednesday, presented the valuation reports of the independent valuers - Duff & Phelps and RBSA, to the lenders. According to sources, Independent Valuers Dufff & Phelps and RBSA have given a liquidation value of around Rs 13,000 crore for Reliance Capital (RCAP). In comparison, four bidders have quoted merely 30 to 40 per cent of the liquidation value in their bids. As per the valuation report by Duff and Phelps, the liquidation value of Reliance Capital is estimated at Rs 12,500 crore, while the liquidation value arrived at by RBSA is Rs 13,200 crore. In comparison, the highest bid value received by the lenders of Reliance Capital is Rs 5,231 crore from the consortium of Cosmea Financial and Piramal Group. Hinduja, with a bid value of Rs 5,060 crore, is the second highest bidder for RCAP. The size of Torrent and Oaktree bids is Rs 4,500 crore and Rs 4,200 crore, respectively. Hence, the bids received by the RCAP lenders are almost 30 per cent of the liquidation value fixed by the two independent valuers. The low bid value compared to the liquidation value fixed by the independent valuers makes it imminent for the company to be referred for liquidation. In addition to the RCAP, both the independent valuers have assigned a liquidation value to RCAP's life and general insurance businesses too. According to Duff and Phelps' valuation report, the liquidation value of Reliance General Insurance is Rs 7,000 crore, and Reliance Life Insurance is Rs 4,000 crore. On the other hand, RBSA has given a liquidation value of Rs 7,500 crore and Rs 4,300 crore for Reliance General Insurance and Reliance Life Insurance, respectively. The RCAP lenders have not received any bids for these two businesses (general and life insurance) of the company, which account for over 90 per cent of the total valuation. The lenders have received three bids for the rest of the businesses/clusters like securities, real estate, ARC, etc. of Reliance Capital. The combined bid value of these businesses is Rs 120 crore, but as per the valuation reports of Duff & Phelps and RBSA, the liquidation value of these businesses is estimated at Rs 280 crore and Rs 240 crore, respectively. Keeping in mind the huge gap between the liquidation value and the actual bid values, the COC is likely to ask the bidders to revise their bids, sources said. If the revised bids are still far below the liquidation value, the lenders may consider referring the company for liquidation.

The need for short-term working capital has been a key challenge for these establishments to meet, that has now been catered by the NBFCs. Here’s how these financers are performing in this area and how do they see this as an opportunity in disguise: * Vikas Kumar * ETBFSI Click Here to Read This Story * * * * * * * * Post Covid menace, the hospitals and medical establishments have witnessed a significant demand with more facilities coming up even at the small levels. With the unhygiene prevailing at the rural areas or the packed establishments, the need for hospitals have been on-demand. Post the pandemic had hit the country, hygiene has become a aware topic at every level with the people bringing in masks, and hand sanitisers in practice. Not only the change in habits, people also prefer to visit hospitals for even small ailments rather than working on it at home. With this, the hospitals and nursing homes are coming into practice rapidly. But the question that follows is how they are meeting their financial needs? Establishing a complete set-up involves a good cost which is a big challenge for these entities, especially operating at the lower levels. NBFCs sense a major opportunity The healthcare infrastructure segment has become a key focus area for new-age financiers, especially post-COVID. NBFCs sense a major opportunity in financing the upgradation of existing hospitals, further expansion of smaller local healthcare brands, especially in Tier 2-4 cities across India and the associated working capital needs as an outcome of the pandemic, shared Karan Desai, Founder of Interface Ventures. “Some lenders have quite simply adapted their plain vanilla Unsecured Business Loan product and have tailored the underwriting criteria to customize it for hospital business. Digitally savvy lenders are offering lines of credit, where interest is charged only on the funds used, with instant drawdowns post-approval,” he added. “These loans are typically used to fund the cash flow gaps in the working capital cycle of smaller hospitals. More specialized financiers like operating lease companies extensively fund the medical equipment installed in hospitals which is more capital expenditure in nature,” he added. “A lot of small hospitals & nursing homes (sub 25 beds) in Tier 3 & 4 cities in particular, now prefer borrowing from nimbler NBFCs where they can have the loan processed quickly and the ability to draw down funds as and when they need,” he said. Short-term working capital loans required to stay afloat Amid these developments, the new age NBFCs are providing short-term working capital to small time hospitals/nursing homes to run their operations. While speaking with ETBFSI, Aditya Damani, Founder & CEO of Credit Fair said, "Hospitals are capital intensive and require large amounts of financial resources to grow. With the working capital cycle stretched, as many small and new hospitals aren't covered under cashless by leading insurance companies, financially weaker hospitals may have to resort to short-term working capital loans to stay afloat.” “Given our depth of understanding of the healthcare and insurance industry, we are able to underwrite hospitals that have visibility on receivables from insurance companies and are on the path to be added to cashless,” he said. “Hence our short-term working capital loans help the hospitals to improve utilization and grow the number of patients impacted by accessing credit at the right time,” he added. The hospitals and nursing homes need capital for Asset / medical equipment, Infrastructure, merchant establishment as well as the working capital to fund day-to-day operational requirements. PSUs, private banks and other financial institutions have been aggressively working towards the financing of the healthcare setup, but the intervention of NBFCs was a key requirement as it has a grip over the lower-end of the pyramid.

Net stage stage 3 loans had spiked above 2% post Covid but have since come down to 1.37% at the end of September. Lochan said he expects the net stage 3 accounts to come down below 1% which is Sundaram's historic average. * Joel Rebello * ET Bureau Click Here to Read This Story * * * * * * * * Chennai based non banking finance company (NBFC) Sundaram Finance plans to reduce its dependence on commercial vehicle financing and expand outside South India as it looks to dersik its loan book. The company expects to build its exposure to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and increase its loan book to above Rs 50,000 crore from about Rs 32,000 crore currently, managing director Rajiv Lochan said. Medium and heavy commercial vehicles make up about a quarter of the company's loans currently which is expected to come down to about 20% even as the company increases its exposure to SMEs to 8% to 10% in the next five years. Loans to SMEs now make up about 2% of the company's loan book. "We have a list of around 1600 companies in non metro cities around the country to which we are targeting to lend between Rs 25 lakh to Rs 3 crore. We also want to derisk from the volatilities of the commercial vehicle business and its share in our book will come down," Lochan said. The company has disbursed more than Rs 10,000 crore of loans in the current fiscal and is on track to overhaul its 2019 record of Rs 17,170 crore Lochan said. The company has 640 branches, 51% of which are in South India. Going forward the company expects the majority of its new branches to come in north India and western states like Maharadhtra and Gujarat. Lochan said Sundaram Finance will continue to diversify across asset classes and geographies while keeping asset quality in check. Net stage stage 3 loans had spiked above 2% post Covid but have since come down to 1.37% at the end of September. Lochan said he expects the net stage 3 accounts to come down below 1% which is Sundaram's historic average. The company expects to increase its branch strength to 800 branches in next three years with an expectation of increasing net profit at a compounded annual rate of close to 20%. "We expect to keep our market share in the states and geographies we dominate. 98% of our loans are secured, though we are alsi experimenting with some unsecured loans to known customers," Lochan said. Two months ago the company started offering extended credit lines to existing customers as a test for a foray into unsecured loans.

According to the sources, the lenders are of the opinion that the bid value offered by the bidders is too low. The CoC is likely to ask the bidders to revise their bids, and in case the revised bids are still below expectations, then the lenders may consider sending Reliance Capital to liquidation, under the newly introduced regulation 6(A) of the IBC, whereby each individual business can be sold separately, they added. Notably, Reliance Capital Limited (RCL) received five bids under the option 1 for the Reliance Capital Core Investment Company (CIC), as the deadline to submit binding bids ended on November 28 (Monday). The option 1 bidders are Hinduja, Torrent, Oaktree, Cosmea Financial and Piramal combined, and UAVRCL. Out of these five bidders, UVARCL has bid on a fee basis, which means that it has not submitted any resolution plan for RCAP. It will further sell RCAP assets and make payments to lenders, as and when the sale happens. No separate bids were received for Reliance General Insurance Company (RGIC) and Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company (RNLIC). RCL had offered two options to all the bidders. Under the first option, companies could bid for Reliance Capital Ltd, including its eight subsidiaries or clusters. The second option gave the bidders the freedom to bid for its subsidiaries individually or in a combination. RCL has eight businesses that are on the block. These include general insurance, life insurance, health insurance, securities business and asset reconstruction, among others. Cosmea-Piramal has offered Rs 5,231 crore for RCAP, while Hinduja's bid is Rs 5,060 crore. The size of Torrent and Oaktree's bids is Rs 4,500 crore and Rs 4,200 crore, respectively. Out of these four, the Cosmea-Piramal consortium has offered Rs 4,250 crore as the upfront payment, while Hinduja offered Rs 4,100 crore upfront to the lenders. For the financial services business, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has special powers under section 227 of the IBC to refer companies to insolvency for debt resolution. Reliance Capital was the third financial services company that had been referred by the RBI for insolvency. The other two are DHFL and SREI. DHFL was sold to Piramal at 50 per cent of its liquidation value, while SREI's resolution process is still in progress. The proceedings of Reliance Capital bids prove that the use of section 227 by the RBI has not worked in favour of the lenders of the financial services companies.

Demand for consumer loans is high across durables, travel and other personal consumption activities, while business loans have benefited from macroeconomic tailwinds. Here’s what the report said: * ETBFSI Click Here to Read This Story * * * * * * * * Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) are expected to grow their assets under management (AUM) 13-14% next fiscal, or twice the ~7% pace logged last fiscal as robust credit demand piggybacks the ongoing economic rebound, Crisil said in a report on Wednesday. In-home loans, the biggest segment comprising 40-45% of the NBFC AUM, structural factors driving end-user housing demand are intact despite the impact of rising real estate prices and interest rates. That should drive 13-15% growth in the segment next fiscal, it said. But housing finance companies could keep losing market share to banks amid intense competition on interest rates, especially in the urban and the formal salaried segments. Rising rates will also lift the borrowing cost of NBFCs and lower their competitiveness versus banks, which have access to lower cost funds. Gurpreet Chhatwal, Managing Director of CRISIL Ratings said, “Stronger balance sheets with higher provisioning and lower leverage, receding asset-quality concerns and steadily normalising funding access provide a solid foundation for NBFCs to capitalise on credit demand.” “Competition from banks will remain intense and the rising interest rate environment will exert pressure on margins and limit competitive ability, especially in the largest traditional segments of home loans and new vehicle finance. Hence, diversification into higher-yielding segments such as unsecured loans, used-vehicle loans, and secured SME2 loans will be the focus areas for the larger NBFCs,” he added. Consequently, NBFCs are expected to capitalise on their core strengths of last-mile connectivity, customer relationships, innovativeness and strong understanding of micro markets to sharpen focus on used-vehicle financing, which offers higher yields and better profitability from a risk-adjusted return perspective. Krishnan Sitaraman, Senior Director and Deputy Chief Ratings Officer, CRISIL Ratings said, “As large NBFCs turn towards non-traditional segments to enhance yields, we are likely to see more partnerships such as colending with emerging NBFCs focusing on specific asset classes, especially unsecured loans.: “This allows the large NBFCs to expand to newer domains in a more cost-efficient manner while reducing time-to-market. For emerging NBFCs, this supports capital-efficient AUM growth,” he added. Unsecured loan cynosure for many large NBFCs The report further said the unsecured loan (8-10% of NBFC AUM) is the cynosure for many large NBFCs. A CRISIL Ratings analysis indicates disbursements doubled on-year last fiscal and grew further by ~50% annualised in the first half of this fiscal. Demand for consumer loans is high across durables, travel and other personal consumption activities, while business loans have benefited from macroeconomic tailwinds. The AUM in this segment is seen growing 20-22% next fiscal, it said. How the Real estate, vehicle segment will grow? In real estate finance, some large NBFCs may look at a calibrated re-alignment of exposure to construction finance for large developers, lease rental discounting loans, and last-mile financing as these carry relatively lesser risk and potential for higher returns. Most others are expected to reduce their wholesale loan book as chunkiness of exposure and higher delinquencies in the past have impacted the confidence of lenders to NBFCs. Consequently, the share of wholesale lending in overall AUM is expected to steadily reduce for most NBFCs. These would largely move to alternative investment funds given their access to patient pools of capital. Vehicle finance, the second-largest segment (20-25% of NBFC AUM), will grow 13-14% next fiscal compared with an estimated ~12% this fiscal on the back of solid underlying-asset sales. Strong pent-up demand and new launches will continue to drive car and utility vehicle sales, the report said. The ongoing rebound in economic activity, demand for fleet replacement, and focus on last-mile connectivity will support commercial vehicle sales. In the new-vehicle finance segment, especially cars, interest-rate sensitivity of borrowers is high so competition from banks remains tough given their ability to offer finer pricing. The report said overall, the NBFC sector is well poised to tap growth opportunities in the medium term despite competition from banks. However, geopolitical issues, sharper-than-expected increase in interest rates, and inflation will bear watching.
