Such loans serve the purpose of short term financing.Examples: overdrafts, cash credits etc.

maker of a loan incurs. The risk is high for the borrower but profitable for the bank. Example:

forced LIM, PAD, FBP, IBP etc.

loans, the bank determines the payment schedule in accordance with the volume and risk of the

loans.

its ‘annual loan program’ . Loans disbursed in agricultural sector for a period not more than 12

payments. Any irregularity in repayment is identified and the necessary follow-up is taken.

Account.

Stages

Loan classification

Page 9: Dhaka Bank Actual Report

Excellence in Banking Excellence in Banking

a) Interest on loans classified as sub-standard and doubtful are charged on the account , but

instead of being credited to income account; it is credited to Income Suspense Account.

b) No interest on loans classified as bad & loss will be charged on the account. However, when

suit will be filed to recover the loan, interest upon filing of such suit will be charged on the

account and suit will be filed for the outstanding amount including interest. Such charged

interest will also be credited to Interest Suspense Account.

4.6.2 MAINTENANCE OF INTEREST SUSPENSE ACCOUNT

Though interest on loans classified as bad & loss may not be charged on the account, branches

should calculate interest on monthly basis to charge it to Interest Receivables on Classified

Loans account and credit to Interest Suspense account ,but it is not entered into the accounting

books. Amount wise record of such interest will be maintained and monthly proof will be

prepared to confirm it with the ledger balance.

4.6.3 TREATMENT OF PAYMENT RECEIVED IN CLASSIFIED LOAN ACCOUNT

Whenever any payment is received in respect of any classified loan account, the order of

application will be as follows:

a) To uncharged interest, if any

b) To interest charged but credited to interest suspense account and

c) To principal

However, if any partial payment is received on account of a classified loan account for

rescheduling, branches will keep the amount not yet paid in the Accounts Rceeivable –

Classified loan instead of applying the fund out right to adjustment as stated above. For such

adjustment, branches should seek permissions from the head office and verify & report the

necessary data for the final decision of the head office.

Explain what provision is

PROVISIONING

Provision on loans is analogous to adjustment for doubtful accounts.Provisioning is maintained

at branch levels. This is followed inorder apply the Matching Principle and Expense & loss

Recognition Principle that suggest the recording of a probable loss account to be adjusted in

the period it operates and is assumed to occur. For every provisioning, each branch debits

Income Account and credits Provision against loans to better match expense with revenue

and show the effects by reducing income for any given period. And after the actual write off, the

Loss Account will be rebounded to the entry which debits Provision against loans and credits

loss account.

Page 9

Page 10: Dhaka Bank Actual Report

Excellence in Banking Excellence in Banking

4.7 RATE OF PROVISION

Provision will be provided against all types of loans including short term agricultural and

micro credit at the following rates:

Provisioning rate against short term agricultural and micro credit will be as follows:

a) For irregular, unclassified, sub-standard and doubtful loans 5%

b) For loans classified as bad & loss 100%

4.8 CALCULATION OF BASE FOR PROVISION

To determine the required amount of provision, the amount to be charged for provision (base

for provision) will be arrived at first by deducting the interest suspense account and the value

of eligible security from the outstanding amount of loan. However, for unclassified loans the

base for provision will equal the outstanding amount of the loan.

4.9 DECLASSIFICATION OF LOANS CLASSIFIED BY THE BANK

A loan classified by any branch may be declassified upon its recovery or rescheduling. A

rescheduled loan will be classified again if any of the terms of rescheduling is unsatisfied and

such rescheduling will be computed with retrospective effect from the date of rescheduling.

However, once the loan is declassified on the basis of qualified judgment, branches may

declassify the amount with the prior permission from the head office on the ground that the

conditions for which classification was made has materially been improved and that no adverse

situation exists.

A loan classified by Head Office inspection team/ credit division will only be declassified with

prior permission from the respective authority.

Page 11: Dhaka Bank Actual Report

Excellence in Banking Excellence in Banking

A loan classified by Bangladesh Bank Inspection Team will be declassified either after

obtaining permission from Bangladesh Bank or during the next inspection by Bangladesh Bank.

4.10 ISSUANCE OF NOTICE TO THE CLIENT FOR LOANS TO BE CLASSIFIED

As per the Bangladesh Bank directives, Dhaka Bank ltd. has to issue a prior notice to the

concerned client (borrower) at least one month before the date of treating each of the

outstanding loans as classified/ overdue. Bangladesh Bank has a suggested specimen of such a

notice to be followed and notified by the bank.

4.11 CONSIDERATION OF RESCHEDULING REQUEST FOR CLASSIFIED LOANS

Any rescheduling request has to be approved by Head Office. For consideration of rescheduling

request of the client, the client has to deposit minimum 1% of the total overdue amount. In this

case, amount of interest not charged to the account for a bad & loss situation will be included

for defining the outstanding overdue.

As per the Bangladesh Bank Directives, a decision has to be conveyed to the client within three

months from the date when the rescheduling request was received. Therefore, branches must

forward rescheduling request to Head Office within 15 (fifteen) days from the date of receipt of

the request along with the branch’s opinion on the proposal and recommendation as per the

situation of the claim.

4.12 RESORTING TO LEGAL ACTION FOR RECOVERY OF STUCK-UP ADVANCES

Branches can initiate the legal procedures only when they are assured that the classified loan

will not be recovered through persuasion alone .For initiating legal action branch shall obtain

prior permission from Head Office. Request for such permission should indicate desired nature

of legal action to be initiated and the request should accompany a resume of the account. While

initiating legal action a careful consideration shall be made to take all the “off-ledger” interest

elements of the account and that all the concerned persons have been involved with such action.

As soon as the legal action is initiated, it will be circulated to Head office along with all the

particulars of such action. Legal expenses incurred will be charged to prepaid expenses (legal

action).

At present following legal recourses are available for recovery of bank dues

Filing money suit/title suit under Artha Rin Adalat act-1990 Filing bankruptcy case under Bankruptcy Act-1997 Filing of certificate case under Public Demands Recovery Act- 1913 Filing criminal case for breach of trust under section 406/420 of Bangladesh Penal code Filing of summary procedure suit under civil procedure act

Page 11

Page 12: Dhaka Bank Actual Report

Excellence in Banking Excellence in Banking

It is very important to note that filing of a suit is only a start of a lengthy legal process and

branches have to make necessary arrangement to follow-up and monitor the progress of the

suit so as to ease the disposal of the suit. It is quite normal that the borrower may resort to

different tactics to delay the procedure and branches must be vigilant to protect the banks. It

shall be the particular responsibility of the branch manager to ensure proper monitoring and

supervision of the legal proceedings so as to protect the bank’s interest.

4.13 FURNISHING LISTS OF DEFAULTED BORROWERS TO OTHER BANKS

Branches under the authorization of the Head Office have to circulate the list of defaulting

borrowers to Bangladesh Bank or other banks and financial institutes. This ensures that other

banks will not extend credits to any previous loan defaulters.

THE ACTUAL WRITE-OFF

When Dhaka Bank fails to recover some portion of the defaulted loan because of getting a cash

amount less than the outstanding loan amount from selling the security, it writes off the rest of

the loan amount. For this write off, it debits a loss account and credits the Accounts

Receivable-classified loan for the amount left after making adjustments to recover the

outstanding loan.

5. SIMULATED CASE FOR LOAN DEFAULT UNDERSTANDING

Mr. Shourav Kobra is a client of Dhaka Bank ltd. .On July 1, 2003 Mr. S. Kobra was given a

continuous loan of 10,00,000 BDT ,at 12% interest incurred on it ,to be matured within 1 year.

On June 30, 2004 the bank found that Mr. S. Kobra did not repay the loan. The bank

immediately took steps to notify and persuade Mr. S. Kobra to repay the loan within the next

seven days.

Mr. S. Kobra still did not repay the loan money within six months (from July 1, 2004 to

December 30, 2004) of crossing the deadline . The bank records proceeded and one year passed

since the maturity date (from July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005).

Upon this unexpected incident, the bank started operating at a bad & loss for another six

months (from July 1, 2005 to December 30, 2005). Mr. Kobra requested the bank to judge his

condition on a qualified basis and requested the bank to declassify his account on a partial

repayment. The bank agreed and rescheduled his account for another one year (the year 2006).

After one year had passed, the bank again found his account defaulted. It operated on a

classified basis for another year (for the year 2007) and heard that Mr. S. Kobra was declared

Page 12

Page 13: Dhaka Bank Actual Report

Excellence in Banking Excellence in Banking

bankrupt after operating on a bad & loss stage for another six months (for the first half of 2008).

The bank wrote off the whole outstanding loan amount immediately after hearing this (on July

1, 2008).

It is known that Dhaka Bank ltd. operates on a calendar year basis.

For the first transaction, Dhaka Bank ltd. will make the following entry:

Loan account- Mr. S. Kobra dr. 10,00,000

Cash Account cr. 10,00,000

After the loan disbursement, the bank calculates interest revenue earned on its given loan on a

monthly basis (as per the loan terms assumed). It records interest for each of the following 12

months in the following way:

Loan Account- Mr. S. Kobra dr. 10,000

Income Account cr. 10,000

After the passage of the maturity date, the bank classifies the loan money as a special mention

account. For the next six months, the bank records the calculation of interest for each month in

the following way:

Loan Account- Mr. S. Kobra dr. 10,000

Interest Suspense Account cr. 10,000

This records will also be applicable for the next six months in the sub-standard and doubtful

stages.

When 12 months pass after the maturity date, the bank starts to treat the loan as bad & loss . No

entry will be given for the interest calculation at this stage that is six months.

As per the rescheduling request, the bank calculates the loan outstanding on:

The principal 10,00,000

Interest counted for the first year 1,20,000

Total outstanding after 1 year 11,20,000

Interest counted for the first 3 classified

levels consisting of 1 year 1,20,000

Total outstanding loan after 2 years 12,40,000

Interest counted but not recorded

for the bad & loss stage 60,000

Total outstanding after 2 and half years 13,00,000

Now, for rescheduling request for Mr. S. Kobra, the bank will record the entry for the partial

payment and outstanding receivable account.

For the partial payment:

Page 13

Page 14: Dhaka Bank Actual Report

Excellence in Banking Excellence in Banking

Cash Account dr. 8,00,000

Loan account- Mr. S. Kobra cr. 8,00,000

For the outstanding accounts receivable amount:

Acoounts Receivable- classified loan dr. 5,00,000

Loan account- Mr. S. Kobra cr. 5,00,000

After the declassification of the loan, the bank will again record the interest on a monthly basis

for the next 12 months in the following way:

Acoounts Receivable- classified loan dr. 5,000

Income account cr. 5,000

For the reclassification of the loan, the bank records interest for the next one year on a monthly

basis in the following way:

Acoounts Receivable- classified loan dr. 5,000

Interest suspense account cr. 5,000

For the bad & loss stage it will not record any entry for interest.

However, after another two and half years, the bank finds its loan amount of Mr. S. Kobra as

outstanding for 5,00,000 + (5,000 * 30) = 6,50,000. Now, the bank hears about the bankruptcy

of Mr. S. Kobra and so writes off the account as follows:

Loss on classified loans dr. 6,50,000

Acoounts Receivable- classified loan cr. 6,50,000

It becomes clear from the above accounts that Dhaka Bank ltd. does not maintain the names of

accounts as suggested in the classic financial accounting books.

6. BANGLADESH BANK REGULATORY REVIEW

Bangladesh Bank as a regulatory body imposes some rules and regulations on the loan default

management of Dhaka Bank ltd. The guidelines Dhaka Bank ltd, has to follow are of the

following two categories:

6.1 POLICY GUIDELINES

These are the guidelines that dictate the boundary of the entire credit and loan default policy of

Dhaka Bank ltd. These fundamental credit risk management guidelines have three important

parameters:

6.1.1 LENDING GUIDELINES

Dhaka bank has some lending guidelines approved as per the consent of Bangladesh Bank.

These have to be approved by the Managing Director/ CEO and the Board of Directors so

that there will not be any avoidance of the approvals. These guidelines actually set up the

criteria for purpose preference, sector preference, personality preference etc.

6.1.2 CREDIT ASSESSMENT AND RISK GRADING

As per the rules of Bangladesh Bank, each and every credit proposal will be assessed by

Relationship Manager/ account officer and then approved by the Credit Risk Management

Department.

The grading schedule is given below:

Page 15

Page 16: Dhaka Bank Actual Report

Excellence in Banking Excellence in Banking

LOSS 7

6.1.3 APPROVAL AUTHORITY

According to the rules of Bangladesh Bank, Dhaka Bank has to delegate the whole authority of

credit approval to senior credit executives by the Managing Director/ CEO. The credit approval

authority is delegated on the basis of the executives’ technical expertise.

6.2 PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES

This section outlines the main procedures that are needed to ensure compliance with the

policies containing the guidelines stated above. These guidelines contain the following major

fundamentals:

6.2.1 APPROVAL PROCESS

This initial process of credit approval must be done by the co-operation of Relationship

management and Credit Risk Management of Dhaka Bank ltd. Caution must be adopted when

reviewing credit proposals in terms of their credit risk coverage.

6.2.2 CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

This step consists of activities of loan disbursement and its other considerations such as

preferential judgment for any compliance request, modification of the entire loan giving

process, and compliance requirements.

6.2.3 CREDIT MONITORING

Dhaka Bank has to impose early alert process in accordance with the Bangladesh Bank

regulations so as to make sure that any loan default can be traced within the shortest possible

time.

6.2.4 CREDIT RECOVERY

This side is mainly concerned with the recovery of the disbursed and defaulted loans. The

activities of notification, seeking permission from Head Office for necessary judgments, claiming

on suit etc are covered in this side.

7. CONCLUSION : A loan is a product/service that a bank sells to its customers whereas a

defaulted loan is analogous to a doubtful account against a product sold or a service provided.

In Bangladesh defaulted loan has become a major issue since huge amounts of loans are

defaulted in local private commercial banks per year. To cope with this challenge banks

follow some predefined and quite similar guidelines circulated by Bangladesh Bank. Here in

this report, it is shown that how Dhaka Bank ltd. as a representative of the entire commercial

banking sector in Bangladesh applies a strict credit policy covering accounting practices

concerned with defaulted loans, the types of loans, classifications of loans, subsequent legal

procedures and the actual write off. The report also shows that the decisions to extend loans

and maintain their coverage actually lie at the discretion of the management committee. It

also shows that how its profit maximization coincides with its risk grading.
