CARE vets the assumptions made by the SC/ARC in arriving at valuation of SRs and modifies these wherever required. CARE arrives at Present Value of all cash flows from SRs till their maturity. CARE uses an indicative yield as the discounting rate for valuation of SRs. Once CARE arrives at an expected valuation, it assigns appropriate recovery rating (the ratings gives the range of recovery possible), which indicates the recovery expected from the underlying loan (and SRs), with respect to the face value of the SR, within a predefined band.

CARE considers the following criteria for arriving at the rating of SRs:

• Resolution strategy adopted by SC/ARC and its capability to implement the same
• Parameters related to non-performing account eg: reasons for delinquency
• Nature & composition of the assets
• Industry prospects and existing management
• Legal status
• Estimated time-frame for resolution
• Expected cash-flows

Methodology for rating pooled assets

At times, the SC/ARC bundle more than one small loan from different accounts into a portfolio and issue SRs common to the whole portfolio. At the time of valuation of SRs issued under such portfolios, valuation of all individual assets in the portfolio is required to be done. Based on these individual valuations, weighted average valuation of SRs is arrived at and the recovery rating of the SRs is determined accordingly.
