Master Circular-Prudential norms for classification, valuation and operation of investment portfolio by banks

PREVIOUS

Annexure I-A

Short sale in Government Securities:

Banks may undertake outright sale of Central Government dated securities that they do not own, subject to the same being covered by outright purchase from the secondary market within the same trading day. Intra-day short selling is being permitted subject to the following conditions :

Before actually undertaking transactions banks are required to have in place a written policy on 'intra-day' short sale which should be approved by their respective Boards of Directors. The policy should lay down the internal guidelines which should include, inter alia, risk limits on short position, an aggregate nominal short sale limit (in terms of Face Value) across all eligible securities, the internal control systems to ensure adherence to regulatory and internal guidelines, reporting of short selling activity to the top management and the RBI, procedure to deal with violations, etc. (A copy of the said policy should be sent for prior information to the Internal Debt Management Department (IDMD) of the RBI.) A bank must have in place a system to detect violations if any, immediately, certainly within the same trading day. A bank which cannot ensure such prompt detection should not undertake short sale.

The above guidelines are not applicable to transactions of Gilt Account holders. Accordingly, Banks who act as custodians (i.e., CSGL account holders) and offer the facility of maintaining Gilt Accounts to their constituents should not permit settlement of any sale transaction by their constituents unless the security sold is actually held in the Gilt Account of the constituent. The above guidelines are also not applicable when the purchase contract is of a Gilt Account holder with the custodian itself.

Effective May 11, 2005, it was decided to permit sale of Government Securities allotted to successful bidders in primary issues on the day of allotment, with and between CSGL constituent account holders.

Banks should exercise abundant caution to ensure adherence to these guidelines. The concurrent auditors should specifically verify the compliance with these instructions and report violations, if any, on the date of trade itself, within a reasonably short time, to the appropriate internal authority. As part of their monthly reporting, concurrent auditors may verify whether the independent back office has taken cognizance of all such lapses and reported the same within the required time frame.

The concurrent audit reports should contain specific observations on the compliance with the above instructions and should be incorporated in the monthly report to the Chairman and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the bank and the half yearly review to be placed before the Board of Directors. CCIL will make available to all market participants as part of its daily reports, the time stamp of all transactions as received from NDS. The mid office/back office and the auditors may use this information to supplement their checks/scrutiny of transactions for compliance with the instructions. Any violation noticed in this regard should immediately be reported to the concerned regulatory department of the Reserve Bank and the Public Debt Office (PDO), Reserve Bank of India, Mumbai. Any violation noticed in this regard would attract penalties as currently applicable to the bouncing of Subsidiary General Ledger (SGL) forms even if the deal has been settled because of the netting benefit under DVP III, besides attracting further regulatory action as deemed necessary.

Annexure I-B

When Issued Market - Guidelines

Definition

“When, as and if issued” (commonly known as “when-issued” (WI)) security refers to a security that has been authorized for issuance but not yet actually issued. WI trading takes place between the time a new issue is announced and the time it is actually issued. All "when issued" transactions are on an "if" basis, to be settled if and when the actual security is issued.

Mechanics of Operation

Transactions in a security on a When Issued basis shall be undertaken in the following manner.

a. WI transactions will be undertaken only in the case of securities that are being reissued. WI trading for issue of new securities will be considered at a later date.

b. WI transactions would commence on the notification date and it would cease on the working day immediately preceding the date of issue.

c. All WI transactions for all trade dates will be contracted for settlement on the date of issue.

d. At the time of settlement on the date of issue, trades in the WI security can be netted off with trades in the existing security.

e. ‘WI’ transactions may be undertaken only on NDS-OM.

f. Any WI trade must have a Primary Dealer (PD) as a counterparty (both counterparties can be PDs). In other words, non-PDs cannot be both buyer and seller in a WI transaction.

g. Only PDs can take a short position in the WI market. Non-PD entities can sell the WI security only if they have a preceding purchase contract for equivalent or higher amount.

h. Open Positions in the WI market are subjected to the following limits:

i. Non-PD entities-Long Position, not exceeding 5 per cent of the notified amount.

ii. PDs-Long or Short Position, not exceeding 10 per cent of the notified amount.

i. In case a PD is unable to deliver securities to the buyer after the auction on the settlement (or issue) date, the transaction will be settled as per the default settlement mechanism of CCIL.

j. In the event of cancellation of the auction for whatever reason, all WI trades will be deemed null and void ab initio on grounds of force majeure.

Internal Control

All NDS-OM members participating in the WI market are required to have in place a written policy on WI trading which should be approved by the Board of Directors. The policy should lay down the internal guidelines which should include, inter alia, risk limits on WI position (including overall position in the security, WI plus the existing security), an aggregate nominal limit (in terms of Face Value) for WI and overall security, the internal control arrangements to ensure adherence to regulatory and internal guidelines, reporting of WI activity to the top management, procedure to deal with violations, etc. A system should be in place to detect violations immediately, certainly within the trading day.

The concurrent auditors should specifically verify compliance with these instructions and report violations on the date of trade itself, within a reasonably short time, to the appropriate internal authority. As part of their monthly reporting, concurrent auditors may verify whether the independent back office has taken cognizance of all such lapses and reported the same within the required time frame. Any violation of regulatory guidelines noticed in this regard should immediately be reported to the Public Debt Office (PDO), Mumbai and IDMD, Reserve Bank of India.

Reporting

Primary Dealers will report on a daily basis all ‘When Issued’ transactions, undertaken by them in the format prescribed.

Annexure I-C
Para 1.2 (i) (b)

Investment portfolio of banks-Transactions in securities-Conditions subject to which securities allotted in the auctions for primary issues can be sold

(i) The contract for sale can be entered into only once by the allottee bank on the basis of an authenticated allotment advice issued by Reserve Bank of India. The selling bank should make suitable noting/stamping on the allotment advice indicating the sale contract number etc., the details of which should be intimated to the buying entity. The buying entity should not enter into a contract to further resell the securities until it actually holds the securities in its investment account. Any sale of securities should be only on a T+0 or T+1 settlement basis.

(ii) The contract for sale of allotted securities can be entered into by banks with entities maintaining SGL Account with Reserve Bank of India as well as with and between CSGL account holders for delivery and settlement on the next working day through the Delivery versus Payment(DVP) system.

(iii) The face value of securities sold should not exceed the face value of securities indicated in the allotment advice.

(iv) The sale deal should be entered into directly without the involvement of broker/s.

(v) Separate record of such sale deals should be maintained containing details such as number and date of allotment advice, description and the face value of securities allotted, the purchase consideration, the number, date of delivery and face value of securities sold, sale consideration, the date and details of actual delivery i.e. SGL Form No., etc. This record should be made available to Reserve Bank of India for verification. Banks should immediately report any cases of failure to maintain such records.

(vi) Such type of sale transactions of Government securities allotted in the auctions for primary issues on the same day and based on authenticated allotment advice should be subjected to concurrent audit and the relative audit report should be placed before the Executive Director or the Chairman and Managing Director of the Bank once every month. A copy thereof should also be sent to the Department of Banking Supervision, Reserve Bank of India, Central Office, Mumbai.

(vii) Banks will be solely responsible for any failure of the contracts due to the securities not being credited to their SGL account on account of non-payment / bouncing of cheque etc.

Annexure-II
Para 1.2.6 (i) (g)

Investment port-folio of banks-Transactions in securities-Aggregate contract limit for individual brokers - clarifications

Sr. No	Issue Raised	Response
1.	The year should be calendar year or financial year?	Since banks close their accounts at the end of March, it may be more convenient to follow the financial year. However, the banks may follow calendar year or any other period of 12 months provided, it is consistently followed in future.
2.	Whether the limit is to be observed with reference to total transactions of the previous year as the total transactions of the current year would be known only at the end of the year?	The limit has to be observed with reference to the year under review. While operating the limit the bank should keep in view the expected turnover of the current year which may be based on turnover of the previous year and anticipated rise or fall in the volume of business in the current year.
3.	Whether to arrive at the total transactions of the year, transa-ctions entered into directly with counter parties i.e. where no bro-kers are involved would also be taken into account?	Not necessary. However, if there are any direct deals with the brokers as purchasers or sellers the same would have to be included in the total transactions to arrive at the limit of transactions to be done through an individual broker.
4.	Whether in case of ready forward deals both the legs of the deals i.e. purchase as well as sale will be included to arrive at the volume of total transactions?	Yes. This is, however, only theoretical as R/F transactions in Govt. securities are now prohibited except in Treasury Bills and specified Govt. Securities
5.	Whether central loan/state loan/ treasury bills etc. purchased through direct subscriptions/auction will be included in the volume of total transactions?	No, as brokers are not involved as intermidiaries.
6.	It is possible that even though bank considers that a particular broker has touched the prescribed limit of 5% he may come with an offer during the remaining period of the year which the bank may find it to be to its advantage as compared to offers received from the other brokers who have not yet done business upto the prescribed limit.	If the offer received is more advantageous the limit for the broker may be exceeded, the reasons therefor and approval of the competent authority/Board obtained post facto.
7.	Whether the transaction conducted on behalf of the clients would also be included in the total transactions of the year?	Yes. If they are conducted through the brokers.
8.	For a bank which rarely deals through brokers and consequently the volume of business is small maintaining the brokerwise limit of 5% may mean splitting the orders in small values amongst different brokers and there may also arise price differential.	There may be no need to split an order. If any deal causes the particular broker's share to exceed 5% limit, our circular provides the necessary flexibility inasmuch as Board's post facto approval can be obtained
9.	During the course of the year it may not be possible to reasonably predict what will be the total quantum of transactions through brokers as a result of which there could be deviation in complying with the norm of 5%.	The bank may get post facto approval from the Board after explaining to it the circumstances in which the limit was exceeded.
10.	Some of the small private sector banks have mentioned that where the volume of business particularly the transactions done through brokers is small the observance of 5% limit may be difficult. A suggestion has therefore been made that the limit may be required to be observed if the business done through a broker exceeds a cut-off point of, say Rs. 10 crore.	As already observed, the limit of 5% can be exceeded subject to reporting the transactions to the competent authority post facto. Hence, no change in our instructions are considered necessary.

(3) If the security is collateralised by a guarantee, a copy of the guarantee or principal terms of the guarantee are to be included in the offer document.

(4) Interim Accounts, if any.

d) Profile of the project (technology, market etc)

e) Risk factors

(9) If the instrument is of tenor of 5 years or more, projected cash flows.

IV . Banks may agree to insist upon the following conditionalities for issues under private placements

All the issuers in particular private sector corporates, should be willing to execute a subscription agreement in case of all secured debt issues, pending the execution of Trust Deed and charge documents. A standardised subscription agreement may be used by the banks, inter-alia, with the following important provisions :

(a) Letter of Allotment should be made within 30 days of allotment. Execution of Trust Deed and charge documents will be completed and debentures certificates will be despatched within the time limit laid down in the Companies Act but not exceeding in any case, 6 months from the date of the subscription agreement.

(b) In case of delay in complying with the above, the company will refund the amount of subscription with agreed rate of interest, or, will pay penal interest of 2% over the coupon rate till the above conditions are complied with, at the option of the bank.

(c) Pending creation of security, during the period of 6 months (or extended period), the principal Directors of the company should agree to indemnify the bank for any loss that may be suffered by the bank on account of the subscription to their debt issue. (This condition will not apply to PSUs).

(d) It will be the company’s responsibility to obtain consent of the prior charge-holders for creation of security within the stipulated period. Individual banks may insist upon execution of subscription agreement or a suitable letter to comply with the terms of offer such as appointment of trustee, creation of security etc. on the above lines.

(e) Rating : The Group recommends that the extant regulations of SEBI in regard to rating of all debt instruments in public offers would be made applicable to private placement also. This stipulation will also apply to preference shares which are redeemable after 18 months.

(f) Listing : Currently, there is a lot of flexibility regarding listing required by banks in private placement issues. However, the Group recommends that listing of companies should be insisted upon, ( exceptions, if any, to this rule shall be provided in the Investment Policy of the banks) which would in due course help develop secondary market. The advantage of listing would be that the listed companies would be required to disclose information periodically to the Stock Exchanges which would also help develop the secondary markets by way of investor information. In fact, SEBI has advised all the Stock Exchanges that all listed companies should publish unaudited financial results on a quarterly basis and that they should inform the Stock Exchanges immediately of all events which would have a bearing on the performance/operations of the company as well as price sensitive information.

(g) Security / documentation : To ensure that the documentation is completed and security is created in time, the Group has made recommendations which is contained in this model offer document. It may be noted that in case of delay in execution of Trust Deed and Charge documents, the company will refund the subscription with agreed rate of interest or will pay penal interest of 2% over the coupon rate till these conditions are complied with at the option of the bank. Moreover, Principal Directors of the company will have to agree to indemnify the bank for any loss that may be suffered by the bank on account of the subscription to the debt issue during the period of 6 months (or extended period) pending creation of security.

2. A security will be treated as rated if it is subjected to a detailed rating exercise by an external rating agency in India which is registered with SEBI and is carrying a current or valid rating. The rating relied upon will be deemed to be current or valid if

i) The credit rating letter relied upon is not more than one month old on the date of opening of the issue, and

ii) The rating rationale from the rating agency is not more than one year old on the date of opening of the issue, and

iii) The rating letter and the rating rationale is a part of the offer document.

iv) In the case of secondary market acquisition, the credit rating of the issue should be in force and confirmed from the monthly bulletin published by the respective rating agency.

Securities which do not have a current or valid rating by an external rating agency would be deemed as unrated securities.

3. The investment grade ratings awarded by each of the external rating agencies operating in India would be identified by the IBA/ FIMMDA. These would also be reviewed by IBA/ FIMMDA at least once a year.
