(2) in the case of second hand asset, the original cost shall be the actual cost incurred for acquisition of such second hand asset.
Additional provision for hire purchase and leased assets

The fact that income on an NPA has not been recognised cannot be taken as reason for not making provision.
(4) An asset which has been renegotiated or rescheduled as referred to in paragraph (2) (xvi) (b) of these directions shall be a sub-standard asset or continue to remain in the same category in which it was prior to its renegotiation or reschedulement as a doubtful asset or a loss asset as the case may be.

Explanations :
On balance sheet assets
(1) In these directions, degrees of credit risk expressed as percentage weightages have been assigned to balance sheet assets. Hence, the value of each asset/item requires to be multiplied by the relevant risk weights to arrive at risk adjusted value of assets. The aggregate shall be taken into account for reckoning the minimum capital ratio. The risk weighted asset shall be calculated as the weighted aggregate of funded items as detailed hereunder :
Weighted risk assets - On-Balance Sheet items
| | Percentage weight |
| (i) Cash and bank balances including fixed deposits and certificates of deposits with banks | 0 |
(ii) Investments*
(a) Approved securities | 0 |

Notes:
(1) Netting may be done only in respect of assets where provisions for depreciation or for bad and doubtful debts have been made.
(2) Assets which have been deducted from owned fund to arrive at net owned fund shall have a weightage of `zero’.
Off-balance sheet items
(2) In these directions, degrees of credit risk exposure attached to offbalance sheet items have been expressed as percentage of credit conversion factor. Hence, the face value of each item requires to be first multiplied by the relevant conversion factor to arrive at risk adjusted value of off-balance sheet item. The aggregate shall be taken into account for reckoning the minimum capital ratio. This shall have to be again multiplied by the risk weight of 100. The risk adjusted value of the off-balance sheet items shall be calculated as per the credit conversion factors of non-funded items as detailed hereunder : -
| Nature of item | Credit conversion factor-Percentage |
| i) Financial & other guarantees | 100 |
| ii) Share/debenture underwriting obligations | 50 |
| iii) Partly-paid shares/debentures | 100 |
| iv) Bills discounted/rediscounted | 100 |
| v) Lease contracts entered into but yet to be executed | 100 |
| vi) Other contingent liabilities (To be specified) | 50 |
Note: Cash margins/deposits shall be deducted before applying the conversion factor.

(ii) Where the asset is partly secured, a provision to the extent of shortfall in the security available, shall be made while restructuring and/or rescheduling and/or renegotiation of the loans, apart from the provision required on present value basis and as per prudential norms.
(2) Restructuring, reschedulement or renegotiation of terms of infrastructure loan

(c) after commencement of commercial production and the asset has been classified as sub-standard:
Provided that in each of the above three stages, the restructuring and/or rescheduling and/or renegotiation of principal and / or of interest may take place, with or without sacrifice, as part of the restructuring or rescheduling or renegotiating package evolved;
(3) Treatment of restructured standard loan
The rescheduling or restructuring or renegotiation of the instalments of principal alone, at any of the aforesaid first two stages shall not cause a standard asset to be re-classified in the sub-standard category, if the project is re-examined and found to be viable by the Board of Directors of the company or by a functionary at least one step senior to the functionary who sanctioned the initial loan for the project, within the policy framework laid down by the Board:
Provided that rescheduling or renegotiation restructuring or of interest element at any of the foregoing first two stages shall not cause an asset to be downgraded to sub-standard category subject to the condition that the amount of interest foregone, if any, on account of adjustment in the element of interest as specified later, is either written off or 100 per cent provision is made thereagainst.
(4) Treatment of restructured sub-standard asset :

(5) Adjustment of interest :
Where rescheduling or renegotiation or restructuring involves a reduction in the rate of interest, the interest adjustment shall be computed by taking the difference between the rate of interest as currently applicable to infrastructure loan (as adjusted for the risk rating applicable to the borrower) and the reduced rate and aggregating the present value (discounted at the rate currently applicable to infrastructure loan, adjusted for risk enhancement) of the future interest payable so stipulated in the restructuring rescheduling or renegotiation proposal.
(6) Funded Interest :
In the case of funding of interest in respect of NPAs, where the interest funded is recognized as income, the interest funded shall be fully provided for.
(7) Income Recognition norms:
The income recognition in respect of infrastructure loan shall be governed by the provisions of paragraph 3 of these directions;

The sub-standard asset subjected to rescheduling and/or renegotiation and/or restructuring, whether in respect of instalments of principal amount, or interest amount, by whatever modality, shall not be upgraded to the standard category until expiry of one year of satisfactory performance under the restructuring and/or rescheduling and/or renegotiation terms.
(10) Conversion of debt into equity :
Where the amount due as interest, is converted into equity or any other instrument, and income is recognized in consequence, full provision shall be made for the amount of income so recognized to offset the effect of such income recognition:
Provided that no provision is required to be made, if the conversion of interest is into equity which is quoted;
Provided further that in such cases, interest income may be recognized at market value of equity, as on the date of conversion, not exceeding the amount of interest converted to equity.
(11) Conversion of debt into debentures :
Where principal amount and/or interest amount in respect of NPAs is converted into debentures, such debentures shall be treated as NPA, ab initio, in the same asset classification as was applicable to the loan just before conversion and provision shall be made as per norms.
(12) Increase in exposure limits for Infrastructure related loan and investment :
The NBFCs may exceed the concentration of credit/investment norms, as provided in paragraph 12 of these directions, by 5 per cent for any single party and by 10 per cent for a single group of parties, if the additional exposure is on account of infrastructure loan and/ or investment.
(13) Risk weight for investment in AAA rated securitized paper:
The investment in “AAA” rated securitized paper pertaining to the infrastructure facility shall attract risk weight of 50 per cent for capital adequacy purposes subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions:
(i) The infrastructure facility generates income / cash flows, which ensures servicing / repayment of the securitized paper.
(ii) The rating by one of the approved credit rating agencies is current and valid.
