Detailed Solved Question Key & Explanations

Q1 MCLR Component calculation

Which of the following is NOT one of the four components prescribed by the RBI for calculating the Marginal Cost of Funds based Lending Rate (MCLR)?

A.Operating Costs of the Bank
B.Average Cost of Deposits
C.Negative Carry on Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
D.Tenor Premium
Explanation & Math derivation:

MCLR is calculated using the *Marginal* Cost of Funds (not the average cost of deposits), negative carry on CRR, operating costs, and tenor premium. The average cost of deposits was used under the older Base Rate system.

Q2 Standard and Sub-Standard Asset Provisioning

For a standard commercial real estate (residential housing sector) advance, what is the standard asset provisioning rate mandated by the RBI?

A.1.00% (Commercial Real Estate - Others)
B.0.75%
C.0.25% (Direct Agriculture & MSME)
D.0.40% (Standard Loans Rate)
Explanation & Math derivation:

RBI standard asset provisioning rates are: (a) Agricultural & MSME standard accounts = 0.25%; (b) Commercial Real Estate (CRE) - Residential Housing = 0.75%; (c) CRE - General/Others = 1.00%; (d) Other Standard advances = 0.40%.

Q3 Tandon Committee Method II (MPBF)

Under Tandon Committee Method II, a borrower has Total Current Assets of Rs. 400 Lakhs and Current Liabilities (other than bank borrowings) of Rs. 90 Lakhs. What is the Maximum Permissible Bank Finance (MPBF)?

A.Rs. 155 Lakhs
B.Rs. 233 Lakhs
C.Rs. 283 Lakhs
D.Rs. 300 Lakhs
Explanation & Math derivation:

Under Method II of Tandon Committee norms, MPBF = 0.75 * (Current Assets - Non-Bank Current Liabilities) = 0.75 * (400 - 90) = 0.75 * 310 = Rs. 233 Lakhs.

Formula tested: MPBF = 0.75 * (Total CA - Non-Bank CL)
Q4 Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) & Capital Requirement

A bank advances a commercial loan of Rs. 200 Crores to a corporate borrower with a Risk Weight of 75% under Basel III Standardised Approach. If minimum RBI CRAR requirement is 11.5%, how much total capital must the bank hold for this loan?

A.Rs. 17.25 Crores
B.Rs. 15.00 Crores
C.Rs. 11.50 Crores
D.Rs. 23.00 Crores
Explanation & Math derivation:

RWA = Exposure * Risk Weight = 200 Crores * 75% = Rs. 150 Crores. Capital Required = RWA * 11.5% = 150 * 0.115 = Rs. 17.25 Crores.

Formula tested: Capital Required = (Exposure * Risk Weight %) * RBI CRAR %
Q5 Sub-Standard & Doubtful NPA Norms

A Term Loan account has remained an NPA for 18 months as of March 31, 2026 (D1 Category). Tangible collateral security value is Rs. 40 Lakhs against an outstanding balance of Rs. 100 Lakhs. What is the total RBI provision required?

A.Rs. 60 Lakhs (60% Flat Provision)
B.Rs. 40 Lakhs (Secured Value Cover)
C.Rs. 51 Lakhs (100% Unsecured + 15% Secured)
D.Rs. 70 Lakhs (100% Unsecured + 25% Secured)
Explanation & Math derivation:

Outstanding = 100 L. Tangible Security = 40 L. Unsecured portion = 100 - 40 = Rs. 60 Lakhs. In Doubtful D1 stage (NPA between 12 to 24 months): Provision = 100% on Unsecured shortfall (60 L) + 25% on Secured portion (25% of 40 = 10 L) = Total Provision of Rs. 70 Lakhs.

Formula tested: Provision = (100% * Unsecured Shortfall) + (25% D1 Rate * Secured Value)
Q6 Large Exposure limits

Under the RBI Large Exposure Framework (LEF), what is the maximum sum of all exposure values of a bank to a single counterparty at any point of time?

A.30% of Capital Funds
B.15% of Capital Funds
C.20% of the bank's Tier 1 Capital (extendable up to 25% with board approval)
D.25% of Total Assets
Explanation & Math derivation:

Under the RBI Large Exposure Framework, the exposure limit to a single counterparty is 20% of the bank's Tier 1 Capital. The board can approve an additional 5% (raising the cap to 25%) under exceptional circumstances.

Q7 Working Capital for MSMEs

A small manufacturing enterprise projects an annual turnover of Rs. 260 Lakhs. According to Nayak Committee recommendations for MSMEs (working capital limit up to Rs. 5 Crores), what is the minimum bank finance requirement?

A.Rs. 52 Lakhs (20% of Projected Turnover)
B.Rs. 39 Lakhs (15% of Projected Turnover)
C.Rs. 65 Lakhs (25% of Projected Turnover)
D.Rs. 78 Lakhs (30% of Projected Turnover)
Explanation & Math derivation:

As per Nayak Committee norms for MSMEs, Working Capital requirement is assessed at 25% of projected turnover (Rs. 65 Lakhs), promoter margin is 5% (Rs. 13 Lakhs), and minimum Bank Limit = 20% of Rs. 260 Lakhs = Rs. 52 Lakhs.

Formula tested: Bank Limit = 20% of Projected Annual Turnover
Q8 Bond Yield to Maturity (YTM)

A 10-year bank bond with face value of Rs. 1,000 pays an annual coupon of 8% (Rs. 80). If the current market price of the bond is Rs. 950, what is the approximate YTM of the bond?

A.8.00%
B.9.50%
C.7.50%
D.8.72%
Explanation & Math derivation:

Approximate YTM = [ Coupon + (Face Value - Price)/n ] / [ (Face Value + Price)/2 ] = [ 80 + (1000 - 950)/10 ] / [ (1000 + 950)/2 ] = [ 80 + 5 ] / 975 = 85 / 975 = 8.718% ≈ 8.72%. When market price is below face value, YTM > Coupon Rate.

Formula tested: YTM ≈ [ C + (F - P)/n ] / [ (F + P)/2 ]
Q9 Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)

A borrowing firm has Net Profit (PAT) of Rs. 40 Lakhs, Depreciation of Rs. 10 Lakhs, Annual Interest Expense of Rs. 15 Lakhs, and Term Loan Principal Repayment of Rs. 30 Lakhs due this year. What is the DSCR?

A.1.22
B.1.44
C.1.73
D.0.94
Explanation & Math derivation:

DSCR = (PAT + Depreciation + Interest) / (Interest + Principal Repayment) = (40 + 10 + 15) / (15 + 30) = 65 / 45 = 1.44.

Formula tested: DSCR = (PAT + Depr + Interest) / (Interest + Principal Repay)
Q10 Altman Z-Score Model

In Altman's Z-Score model for predicting corporate bankruptcy, if a manufacturing company has a computed Z-Score of 1.50, which zone of financial health does this place the borrower in?

A.Safe Zone (Healthy Stability)
B.Investment Grade Zone
C.Distress Zone (High Probability of Insolvency)
D.Grey Zone (Uncertain/Borderline)
Explanation & Math derivation:

In the Altman Z-Score model for public manufacturers: Z-Score < 1.81 is the 'Distress Zone' (insolvency likely); 1.81 <= Z-Score <= 2.99 is the 'Grey Zone' (moderate risk); Z-Score > 2.99 is the 'Safe Zone'. A score of 1.50 signals distress.
