Case Scenario 3
GNH & Co., Chartered Accountants, has been appointed as the statutory branch
auditors of Chandigarh branch of HFC Bank, a nationalized bank. While carrying
out the audit, the following key issues were identified:
Issue 1: Consortium Cash Credit Facility granted to X Ltd.: HFC Bank is a
consortium member providing cash credit facilities of ` 50 crores to X Ltd., with
HFC's share being ` 10 crores. Over the past two quarters, interest amounting to
` 1.75 crores have been debited in cash credit account of X Ltd., while credits in
the account amounts to only ` 1.25 crores. Despite this shortfall, the account has
been classified as performing asset, based on a certificate from the lead bank
(UNC Bank Limited).
Issue 2: Asset Classification of SJ Ltd.: SJ Ltd.'s account has seen no recovery for
the past 18 months. However, the bank has not applied NPA norms or income
recognition norms to this account. The management justifies this by stating that
the account is guaranteed by the Central Government and that NPA and income
recognition norms are not applicable. Government has not invoked the
guarantee.
Issue 3: Loan Application from ABC Traders: ABC Traders has applied for a cash
credit limit from HFC Bank for supporting working capital requirements on
account of business expansion. In discussions with ABC Traders, HFC Bank has
requested different forms of security, depending on the nature of the assets
offered, which includes immovable property (warehouse), goods in stock, accounts
receivable, and insurance policies. Borrower provided the security and was
sanctioned cash credit limit of ` 4.50 Crores.

SUGGESTED ANSWER
Issue 4: Precision Engineering (one of the borrowers of the branch) has utilized
the entire sanctioned cash credit limit of ` 300.00 Lacs. Outstanding balance as
on 31 March, 2024 is ` 308.00 Lacs. Bank classified the account as Substandard
Asset. One fine day DGM (Inspection) of Bank was passing through the area in
which borrower is located and observed that building occupied by the borrower
is damaged and there is no machinery, stock and other assets available in the
premises. Borrower was not available telephonically and no contact could be
made with him. He ordered independent verification of assets and report was
submitted that no security mortgaged with bank is available. Report has been
accepted by the bank authorities. Only a piece of land with realizable value
` 25 Lacs is available as of now. Bank made a provision in its books of accounts
considering the account as Substandard Asset.
Based on the above facts, answer the following Q. Nos. 9 to 12.
