SME caters to the varied needs of a diverse set of customers across retail, HNI, ultra HNI, Micro, Small & Medium enterprises. It encompasses a wide variety of financing solutions for clients, ranging Loan against property, to more complex Lease Rental discounting, Commercial Purchase and Construction Finance lending. Financing solutions are provided to Self-Employed [professionals/ non-professionals] against a wide array of lending programs, each of which aims to estimate the client’s repayment capability accurately before the company to take an exposure. The lending program requires assessing clients on various dimensions, including income, repayment behavior, stability of income/ residence, profile, collateral [valuation, marketability], ownership structure of business and the property and many others. Loan approvals entail a good mix of profile checks, balance sheet lending and collateral assessment. An in-depth understanding of the customer’s business model, Cash flows, customers & suppliers, success factors and dependencies needs to be considered given these are long term exposures [ranging upto 15 years]. The financials are assessed to understand the repayment capability in the near and long term. Collateral assessment is another complex part of the underwriting process involving checking the structural stability, marketability, valuation, regulatory / local body compliance and legal veracity – all to ensure the property can be liquidated to repay the loan if required in case of customer default. Lending is often structured to meet the client needs by deriving comfort through the hard collateral [can be a ready or under-construction property / project] and cash flows [in form of rentals, or project cash-flows – both against sold/ unsold receivables].
