1. Preamble: 1.1 Valuation in a broad sense means assessing the worth of something which may

be tangible assets like land or something intangible like goodwill. There are various methodologies of valuation. The Bank is concerned with fair market value of the property that can be expected from a buyer if the property is put to sale. Hence, conclusion drawn by the valuer in valuation report about the property needs a careful examination by the Bank.

1.2 What is of utmost importance is that the reasons for arriving at the value of a

property accepted as security must be carefully followed and duly recorded for reference at a later date.

1.3 The word „fair market value‟ (also commonly used as Market Value) used herein

should be understood as the price that the property (Land & Building, Plant & machinery etc) taken as security would fetch on sale in open market on the relevant date of evaluation. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)/ IND AS defines Fair Value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

i. Fair value represents exit price and not entry price ii. Transaction price is the entry price iii. Exit price of an asset or liability is different from entry price. iv. Fair value is market-based measurement, not an entity specific

measurement. v. Fair Value measurement is not adjusted for transaction costs.

1.3.1 The concept of Fair Market Value vis-à-vis Net realizable value helps in

ascertaining the cushion available to the Bank in case the account turns non performing. However, the fair value measurement is not adjusted for transactions costs. Transaction costs can be termed as a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with either the eventual sale or the disposal of the asset in question. Fair market value less transactions costs is the net realizable value of the security i.e. Market Value minus Cost of Disposal.

1.3.2 Cost of realization ordinarily comprise of costs such as advocate fee, expenses

for publication of notices, fees payable to DRTs and other costs that Bank will be incurring if Bank decides to recover the NPA through litigation in courts or under SARFAESI Act. Over a period of time, our experience suggests that such

POLICY ON VALUATION OF PROPERTIES AND EMPANELMENT OF VALUERS (Excluding valuation of Fixed Assets owned by the Bank)

Page 7: Management of Credit Portfolio - Policy on Valuation of

Policy on Valuation of Properties and Empanelment of Valuers

Page 2 of 71

costs generally range upto 10% of the value of security. Hence, realization cost can be taken at 10% (maximum) of the value of securities.

1.4 The process of valuation requires the valuer to make impartial judgments as to

the reliability of inputs and assumptions. For a valuation to be credible, it is important that those judgments are made in a way that promotes transparency and minimizes the influence of any subjective factors on the process. Judgement used in a valuation must be applied objectively to avoid biased analyses, opinions and conclusions.

1.5 Initially, valuation of assets and empanelment of valuers was not regulated by

any Act or Law. In such a situtation, in order to formulate uniform guidelines with respect to valuation of assets and empanelment of valuers, Indian Bank Association (IBA) constituted a Working Group on Standardization of Empanelment of Valuers by Senior Executives of Member Banks. Last such guidelines were issued by IBA in Feb, 2017 and the same were approved and implemented in our Bank vide the Policy on Valuation of Properties and Empanelment of Valuers.

1.6 In exercise of the powers conferred by section 247 read with sections 458, 459

and 469 of the Companies Act, 2013 (18 of 2013), the Central Government Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017 on 18th Oct 2017. Section 247 of the Act requires that where a valuation is to be made of any property, stocks, shares, debentures, securities or goodwill or any assets or net worth of a company or its liabilities under the provisions of the Act, the same shall be valued by a person having the requisite qualifications, experience, registered as a valuer and member of a registered valuers organisation, in the manner prescribed in the Rules. In addition, to administer and perform functions under the said rules, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)by way of notification on 23 October, 2017, has specified the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) as the responsible authority.

1.7 Though these rules were supposed to come into effect since 18th Oct 2017, the

same is being deferred till 30.09.2018. In taking up the matter with Indian Bank Association (IBA) on the applicability of the aforesaid notified rules ,IBA informed that

i. The valuation as per the Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuations) Rules,

2017 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on 18.10.2017 would be applicable for valuation required under Companies Act, 2013 from the date on which the rules become effective.

ii. IBA‟s existing guidelines shall continue to be applicable for valutions which are

not mandatorily required to be done under Companies Act, 2013.

Page 8: Management of Credit Portfolio - Policy on Valuation of

Policy on Valuation of Properties and Empanelment of Valuers

Page 3 of 71

iii. Thus two parallel systems of valuation and valuers would continue at least for some time unless uniformity is brought by amendment of other laws and / or issuance of directions / guidelines by the concerned Regulator, making it mandatory to follow the subject rules.

1.8 In view of the same, the Policy is now divided into three (3) parts -

1.8.1 Part I: Policy dealing with valuation of properties and empanelment of valuers other than those required under Companies Act ,2013.

1.8.2 Part II: Policy dealing with valuation of properties and empanelment of valuers those required under Companies Act, 2013.

1.8.3 Part III: Others Matters

Part I

Policy dealing with valuation of properties and empanelment of valuers other than those required under Companies Act ,2013.

2. Purpose of Valuation and Appointment of Valuers:

2.1 To ascertain the value of the property offered as security.

2.2 To periodically ascertain the value of the asset that has been mortgaged, whether it is increasing or decreasing over the mortgage period

2.3 To realize the value of non-performing assets ( NPAs )

2.4 Redemption of properties in cases of default.

3. General guidelines on Valuation:

3.1 The valuation should always be got done by an empanelled independent valuer i.e., the valuer should not have a direct or indirect interest in the asset being valued.

3.2 All the necessary / relevant papers / documents should flow directly from the branch to the valuer & vice versa without routing the same through the borrower / guarantor concerned.

3.3 The Valuation Report to be submitted by the valuers should be strictly as per enclosed format A, B, C, and D & D1 (Annexure-I). It should also be ensured that the report invariably contains the Fair Market Value, the Book Value, the Distress Value and the Net Realisable Value of the property being valued. However, for the purpose of determining the present value of the property mortgaged / to be mortgaged, the Net Realisable Value should be taken into consideration. Also in the case of Plant & Machinery, Net Realisable Value to be accepted for valuation purposes.

3.4 One of the components of relevant format is “Total abstract of the entire property” which is an arithmetical sum of the value of land / building

Page 9: Management of Credit Portfolio - Policy on Valuation of

Policy on Valuation of Properties and Empanelment of Valuers

Page 4 of 71

(including replacement cost) / amenities etc. However, the final para of the reports lays emphasis on the “Present fair market value of the property”. Often it is observed that “Total abstract of the entire property” is taken as “fair market value” of the property by the valuers and same is duly accepted by the Branches. The “fair market value” may vary from the abstract cost.

3.4.1 In valuation report, Branch officials make a comment on “fair and

reasonable market value” which should not be construed as “Fair Market Value” of the property. The Branch official to use their judgement for ascertaining the fair and reasonable value of the property.

3.5 For credit limits up to Rs.10.00 lacs, the valuation of property, offered only as collateral security, should be made by the Bank Officials themselves and details of such valuation should be incorporated in the simplified format as per the format – D. However, this is not applicable for valuation of property, which is primary security even if credit limit in such account are upto Rs.10.00Lacs. The task of valuation in such cases should necessarily be got carried out through empanelled valuers only.

3.6 Branch should verify the correctness of the valuation by making independent verifications with respect to the valuation and certify to that extent in the valuation report itself as per certificate given in format A, B & C.

3.7 A declaration should necessarily be obtained from valuers with every valuation report as per the format – E (Annexure-II) along with a signed copy of the Model code of conduct for valuer as given in Annexure III.

3.8 Two independent valuations are to be obtained from the panel valuers in cases where the value of any particular property (ies) is Rs 5 crores and above. This condition applies when any individual (single) property value is Rs 5.00 crs and above. In such a case the value which is lower as per report to be taken into cognizance.

3.8.1 In consortium meetings, the Bank‟s representative should insist for second valuation as per extant guidelines of the Bank. However, the consensus decision as taken in the meeting will be followed and will not be construed as a deviation to Bank‟s guidelines.

3.9 Properties mortgaged / Fixed Assets hypothecated are to be got revalued at least once in 3 years.

3.10 Property shall be valued at or less than the current fair value under which the asset could be sold under private contract between a willing seller and an arm‟s length buyer on the date of valuation. Valuation based on potential value after the development when the development is yet to take place shall be avoided.

3.11 Further, following modalities should also be adhered to:

3.11.1 As soon as the valuation reports are obtained, it should be verified and ensured that they contain all the details. Blanks and cursory reports should

Page 10: Management of Credit Portfolio - Policy on Valuation of

Policy on Valuation of Properties and Empanelment of Valuers

Page 5 of 71

not be accepted. Further, all the columns in the format of valuation reports should be duly filled in with remarks and finding of the valuer and if column is not applicable then a notation to that effect should be made. A valuation report containing blanks should not be accepted.

3.11.2 As a measure of strengthening the Due Diligence of the applicable primary/collateral securities which are Land & Building/Land in nature/Plant & Machinery/Other tangible assets, valuers to include photograph of owner with the property in the background, in the report submitted to Branches for all property(ies). In case owner is not available his/her representative may be considered for obtention of photograph.

3.11.3 For easy identification of the applicable primary/collateral securities which are Land & Building/Land in nature/Plant & Machinery/Other fixed tangible assets, valuers to mention longitude/latitude and co-ordinates of the properties valued in the valuation report. If possible screen shot (in hard copy) of Global Positioning System (GPS)/Various Applications (Apps)/Internet sites (eg Google earth)/etc is to be included in the valuation report. In case same is not technically feasible (due to unavailability of network etc) the reason for same is to be mentioned in the valuation report.

3.11.4 In the column pertaining to valuation in the format where valuer is required to mention the prevailing market rate another column should be added and details /reference of at least two latest deals/transactions with respect to adjacent properties in the areas will have to be mentioned. Valuation reports without those details should be returned to the valuer for resubmission.

3.11.5 Valuers are engaged by the Bank for taking valuation report on the asset offered as security. As per International Valuation Standards 2017, Valuer has been defined as “an individual, group of individuals, or a firm possessing the necessary qualifications, ability and experience to undertake a valuation in an objective, unbiased and competent manner. Hence, valuation report procured directly by the borrowers should not be relied upon even if the report is from our panel valuer. If the borrower produces a valuation report issued by one of our panel valuers, the property should be referred to another valuer on our panel for fresh and independent valuation.

3.11.6 Valuation Report must contain specific views / comments on the impending threat, if any, of Road Widening, Take-over of property for public service purposes, Sub-merging, Attracting provisos of Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) etc.

3.11.7 The valuation of properties to be reckoned with reference to their registered price during first year after the registry has been made. Though the valuation in respect of these securities should be done but the value of registered price is to be taken as value of security or valuation as per valuer report whichever is lower so as to avoid acceptance of inflated value of securities in case of newly purchased securities. Also, it is to be ensured that

Page 11: Management of Credit Portfolio - Policy on Valuation of

Policy on Valuation of Properties and Empanelment of Valuers

Page 6 of 71

the purchase of securities which is not stipulated by the Bank as the end use of the loan should not be allowed after sanction of the loan especially in cases where sanctioning authority has given a stipulation of certain percentage amount of collateral securities vis-à-vis loan amount irrespective of the fact whether it is a new property / agricultural property / piece of land, etc.

3.12 Guidelines for valuation of land applicable to all proposals including Real Estate proposals are as detailed below: i. The valuation of properties to be reckoned with reference to their

registered price during first year after the registry has been made. Though the valuation in respect of these securities should be done but the value of registered price is to be taken as value of security or valuation as per valuer report whichever is lower so as to avoid acceptance of inflated value of securities in case of newly purchased securities.

ii. If the land is acquired / purchased beyond preceding one year, the net realizable value assessed by the Bank‟s approved valuer should be taken as value of the property. In case where acquisition / purchase cost of the land is Rs.5 crores and above, and there is wide variation between acquisition / purchase cost and net realizable value assessed by the Bank‟s approved valuer, valuation of such land should be obtained from two Bank‟s approved valuer and lowest valuation should be taken as net realizable value of the property.

iii. In respect of any particular property/ies offered as prime/collateral security valued at Rs.2 crores and above, Title Search Report from two advocates shall be obtained.

3.13 Valuation Report/s by empanelled valuer/s of Member Bank/s in consortium / Multiple Banking Arrangement (MBA) account may be accepted by the Bank unless otherwise specified by the Sanctioning Authority. A certified copy of aforesaid valuation report/s from the concerned member bank should be kept on record. The aforesaid mechanism is applicable for valuation reports obtained by Public Sector Banks on commonly charged security. However, security exclusively charged to our Bank should be valued by our empanelled valuer/s only.

3.14 Branches/Offices to ensure that residual age of the immovable property should be at least 5 years more than the tenure of the loan.

3.15 As and when the Bank decides to value its own property/s as per the Policy for Purchase / sale of immovable property, the valuation shall be done by the empanelled valuers of the Bank.

3.16 At the time of substitution of existing property with new property, fresh valuation of existing property should be obtained, irrespective of when the last valuation was obtained. The higher of the above i.e. existing or fresh valuation should be considered for the purpose of substitution.

Section 281(1) (a) and Section 305 (2) (d)

Winding up of a company

A valuation of assets of the company prepared by the Registered Valuers is required in case of winding up, voluntarily or otherwise.

14. Eligibility, qualifications and registration of valuers in Brief

i. Any person, partnership entities (includes limited liability partnerships) are eligible to be registered valuers, provided they meet the eligibility conditions

prescribed in the rules. In case of partnership entities or companies, in order to be eligible as registered valuers (apart from other conditions), it is necessary that the entity is formed for rendering professional or financial services including valuation and at least three or all the partners or directors (whichever is lower), are registered valuers

ii. Qualifications and experience requirements have been prescribed for

individuals, to be eligible for registration as valuers. Further, an indicative matrix on requisite qualifications/ experience in specified discipline for asset classes has been provided in the rules.

a. To test professional knowledge, skills, values and ethics in valuation, IBBI to

either on its own, or through a designated agency, conduct examinations for one or more asset classes, for individuals (who possess the qualifications and experience as specified) and have completed their educational courses as member of a registered valuers organisation.

b. Until the Central Government notifies the Indian valuation standards, the

registered valuer shall make valuation as per - 1) internationally accepted valuation methods; 2) valuation standards adopted by a registered valuers organisation.

c. The Central Government may constitute a committee to be known as

“committee to advise on valuation matters” to make recommendations on formulation and laying down of Indian valuation standards and policies for compliance by companies and registered valuers.

iii. The notified Rules attempt to bring in standardisation in the valuation

standards in India and ensure that valuation reports disclose a true and fair view and result in greater objectivity in valuation procedures. The increased

Page 33: Management of Credit Portfolio - Policy on Valuation of

Policy on Valuation of Properties and Empanelment of Valuers

Page 28 of 71

transparency and fairness in the valuation system would also boost stakeholder confidence by bringing uniformity.

15. Conduct of Valuation ─ The registered valuer shall, while conducting a valuation, comply with the valuation standards as notified or modified under rule 18 of Companies (Registered Valuer and Valuation) Rules 2017:

i. Provided that until the valuation standards are notified or modified by the

Central Government, a valuer shall make valuations as per-

(a) Internationally Accepted Valuation Standards (please refer point 4.9 of the policy for details); (b) valuation standards adopted by any registered valuers organisation.

16. The valuation required as above and empanelment of valuers for such

valuation should be done as per the procedure defined under Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules 2017. Appointment of the valuer is to be done as per the rule prescribed in Companies Registered Valuer and Valuation Rules 2017. For all registered valuers of IBBI, the empanelment process is already defined in para no.4.1.

Page 29 of 71

Part III

17. Other Matters: 17.1 Engagement of Valuers for valuation of security in cases referred to NCLT as

per provisions of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC) – 17.2 For cases referred to NCLT under IBC, IRP/RP shall appoint valuers for

valuation of assets of the corporate debtor by engaging valuers who are registered with IBBI/organizations recognized by IBBI. The scope and fees payable to such valuers shall be fixed by the IRP / RP with approval of Committee of Creditors (CoC).

17.3 Generally, respective Regional Offices and their Branches will utilize the

services of valuers from the panel meant for their Region by allocating the assignment to a specific valuer. However for certain specific reasons like non availability of valuers /distance of the property from the branch, Branch Head may approach Regional Office for utilizing the services of other valuers from the Panel meant for other Regions for which the permission will be granted by Regional Head. In case of Large Corporate Branches & Mid Corporate Branches accounts no permission is needed from Regional Office utilizing the services of other valuers from the Panel meant for other Regions.

17.4 It has been observed that in some NPA accounts periodical valuation of

properties available as secured assets with the Bank, in the names of borrowers and/or guarantors is not got done, in terms of the current policy. It is imperative to note that such lapses have adverse bearing on Bank‟s performance parameters e.g profitability, Capital to Risk Weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) etc. In absence of correct valuation of property, the provisioning in NPA accounts as per RBI norms, cannot be computed correctly. Thus, it is clarified that, the criteria for valuation of properties (both borrower‟s and/or guarantors) in existing accounts, also hold good for NPA accounts except where OTS /Sale to ARCs proposals/Sale under SARFAESI Act are under consideration/processing.

18. Ownership 18.1 CP & MSME Department, Central Office shall frame, design/review/fine

tune/modify policies/procedures in relation to valuation of properties (Excluding valuation of Fixed Assets owned by the Bank) and empanelment of valuer in the Bank, with the approval of Board of Directors.

18.2 The nodal officer of the Bank for all valuation related matter for coordination internally as well as with the IBA will be General Manager, CP&MSME Department, Central Office.

Page 30 of 71

19. Compliance

19.1 All the functional divisions are expected to comply with the policy guidelines laid down in this Policy document. In case of any doubt about the applicability of any aspect of the policy contents, clarification/approval shall be sought from CP&MSME Department, Central Office.

20. Modification and Review

existing guidelines/directives/instructions based on the directives/advice of Reserve Bank of India/Govt. of India/other regulatory authorities, issued from time to time, subject to reporting and approval of the Board of Directors. This policy has been made in compliance with all extant regulatory guidelines issued till date.

20.2 However, formulation and updating of valuation related formats is to be

done by CP&MSME Department subject to scrutiny by RMD.

20.3 The policy is equally applicable for existing as well as new valuers in the panel of the Bank. Acceptability of the valuers as per prescribed criteria shall be reviewed at the time of annual performance review/empanelment or re-empanelment process.

20.4 The guidelines enumerated in the policy are applicable for all domestic operations.

20.5 The policy shall be valid upto 31-March-2021 from the date of amalgamation and it should be renewed by the end of March every year. The continuity of the Policy may be extended for a further period of 3 months with the specific approval of MD&CEO.

21. Matters pertaining to amalgamated entity:

21.1 The various nomenclatures used for the sanctioning / reporting authority,

monitoring, compliance, credit approval committees, etc at different levels,

and delegation in the subject policy may undergo changes as the

erstwhile Corporation Bank / Andhra Bank raises issue on the parity of the

fees, lower fees as hitherto being paid in Corporation Bank / Andhra Bank

may be paid by the customer till 31.03.2021. Going forward, the fees

structure as given in the policy will be followed from 01.04.2021.
