Module: 4 Computation of Capital Adequacy Ratio as per Guidelines of RBI

Example

Off balance sheet items Amount % of Risk weights Conversion Factor RWA
Underwriting facility provided to PSU 20 100 1 20
Total (B) 20

Other risk-weighted assets are (C) 1500

Total RWA (A+B+C) = 1768.75


Step 3: Computation of Tier II capital

Particulars Amount Discount Rates Amount
Undisclosed reserves 50 0 50
General provision and loss reserves (1.25% of RWA or 50 whichever is minimum) 50 -- 22.11
Revaluation reserves 40 55 18
Subordinated debt
Maturity between 2 to 3 years 30 60 12
Maturity between 4-5 years 30 20 242
Maturity within one year 10 100 0
Tier II capital 126.325

Step 4: Compute Capital Adequacy Ratio

    Rs (in Crore)
Tier I capital (A) 150
Tier II Capital (B) 126.11
Total RWA(C) 1768.75
CAR= (A+B)/C 0.1561

Therefore, we see that Capital Adequacy Ratio of the bank is 15.47%

Conclusion

The criteria to decide the extent and the structure of Capitalisation by Indian Banks can be summarized as under:-

  1. Capital of a Bank should relate to its risk-oriented assets;

  2. RWA or risk-weightage of assets to be calculated as per prescribed norms;

  3. Capital adequacy or quantum of capital required for the bank is 10% of RWA;

  4. Of this Tier 1 Capital should be minimum 50% and the balance can be Tier II capital;

  5. Tier I Capital includes Paid up equity capital; Statutory reserves; Capital reserves; Other disclosed free reserves

  6. Tier II capital may include- Undisclosed reserves and cumulative perpetual preference shares; 45% of. Revaluation Reserves (RR); General Provisions and Loss Reserves (GPLR)- Actual GPLR or 1.25% of Risk Weighted Assets, whichever is lower; Hybrid Debt Capital Instruments-; and Subordinated Debts.

Tier II Capital not to exceed the amount of Tier I Capital.
