CUSTOMER AWARENESS ON CLASSIFICATION AS SMA AND NPA
Cieco Securities Private Limited
Cieco Securities Private Limited (“Cieco”) wishes to notify all the customers that, pursuant to Prudential norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning pertaining to Advances – Clarifications dated November 12, 2021 issued by Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”), the Company shall recognize incipient stress in borrower accounts, immediately on default, by classifying them as Special Mention Accounts (“SMA”) as per below mentioned basis of classification;
“Date of overdue” means date on which Borrower accounts shall be flagged as overdue as part of the day end process.
Example: If the due date of loan account is 15-Mar-22 of the month and the full dues are not received before the Company runs the day-end process for this date, the borrower will be classified as under –
| Status | Date | DPD | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMI overdue | 15-Mar-22 | 0–30 | SMA0 |
| EMI remains overdue | 14-Apr-22 | 31–60 | SMA1 |
| EMI remains overdue | 14-May-22 | 61–90 | SMA2 |
| EMI remains overdue | 13-Jun-22 | 91 and above | NPA |
The loan accounts classified as NPAs may be upgraded as ‘Standard’ asset only if entire arrears of interest and principal are paid by the borrower.
Example:
| Particulars | Scenario 1 | Scenario 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Loan Classification | NPA | NPA |
| EMI Amount | 5,000 | 5,000 |
| Overdue EMI | 15,000 | 15,000 |
| Payment Received | 5,000 | 15,000 |
| Balance Overdue EMI | 10,000 | - |
| Loan Classification | The borrower will continue to be reported as NPA till the entire overdue amount is paid | Standard |
Note:
- i. The reporting of NPA accounts will be done on DPD basis.
- ii. In case of borrowers having more than one loan from Cieco, loan accounts shall be upgraded from NPA to standard asset category only upon repayment of entire arrears of interest and principal pertaining to all the loans.
- iii. The classification of an account as an NPA can have a corresponding effect on the credit scores maintained by the credit bureaus. Cieco, therefore, urges all borrowers to make their EMI payments as per the due date mentioned in the loan repayment schedule.
- iv. We encourage all the borrowers to log in to the Cieco Customer Portal to pay the EMIs.
