Detailed Solved Question Key & Explanations

Q1 Forensic Accounting & Related Party Siphoning

During a credit audit of an NPA borrower, the auditor notices substantial unsecured loans given to group associate companies with zero interest rates while the company pays 12% interest on bank borrowings. This pattern is a primary indicator of:

A.Normal Inter-Corporate Business Synergies
B.Tax Minimization Strategy under Income Tax Act
C.Working Capital Margin Shortfall
D.Capital Siphoning & Funds Diversion (RBI Fraud Red Flag EWS #4)
Explanation & Math derivation:

Diverting low/zero-interest funds to related entities while servicing high-cost bank debt is a primary RBI Red Flag Indicator (EWS #4 for Funds Diversion & Siphoning).

Formula tested: Diverted Funds = Non-Operating Advances to Related Parties
Q2 Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

A commercial bank holds Stock of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) of Rs. 150 Crores. Total Net Cash Outflows over the next 30 calendar days under severe stress are estimated to be Rs. 120 Crores. What is the bank's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)?

A.100% (Borderline compliance)
B.125% (Meets RBI minimum limit of 100%)
C.150%
D.80% (Deficit shortfall)
Explanation & Math derivation:

LCR = Stock of HQLA / Total Net Cash Outflows over 30 days = 150 / 120 = 1.25 or 125%. Basel III and RBI norms mandate a minimum LCR of 100% to survive a 30-day liquidity stress scenario.

Formula tested: LCR = Stock of HQLA / Net Cash Outflows over 30 Days
Q3 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. 51 Lakhs (100% Unsecured + 15% Secured)
B.Rs. 60 Lakhs (60% Flat Provision)
C.Rs. 40 Lakhs (Secured Value Cover)
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)
Q4 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.0.25% (Direct Agriculture & MSME)
C.0.75%
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%.

Q5 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.8.72%
B.7.50%
C.8.00%
D.9.50%
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 ]
Q6 Forward Rate Calculation & Interest Rate Parity

The Spot USD/INR rate is 83.00. The 6-month risk-free interest rate in India is 7.0% p.a. and in USA is 5.0% p.a. According to Interest Rate Parity (IRP), what is the expected 6-month USD/INR forward rate?

A.Rs. 83.81 (Forward Premium on USD)
B.Rs. 83.00 (Par Rate)
C.Rs. 84.50
D.Rs. 82.17 (Forward Discount on USD)
Explanation & Math derivation:

Forward Rate = Spot Rate * [ (1 + r_INR * t) / (1 + r_USD * t) ] = 83.00 * [ (1 + 0.07*0.5) / (1 + 0.05*0.5) ] = 83.00 * (1.035 / 1.025) = Rs. 83.81.

Formula tested: F = S * [ (1 + r_INR * t) / (1 + r_USD * t) ]
Q7 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. 11.50 Crores
C.Rs. 23.00 Crores
D.Rs. 15.00 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 %
Q8 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.Grey Zone (Uncertain/Borderline)
C.Distress Zone (High Probability of Insolvency)
D.Investment Grade Zone
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.

Q9 Tandon Committee Method II (MPBF)

Under Tandon Committee Method II, a borrower has Total Current Assets of Rs. 230 Lakhs and Current Liabilities (other than bank borrowings) of Rs. 100 Lakhs. What is the Maximum Permissible Bank Finance (MPBF)?

A.Rs. 148 Lakhs
B.Rs. 98 Lakhs
C.Rs. 65 Lakhs
D.Rs. 173 Lakhs
Explanation & Math derivation:

Under Method II of Tandon Committee norms, MPBF = 0.75 * (Current Assets - Non-Bank Current Liabilities) = 0.75 * (230 - 100) = 0.75 * 130 = Rs. 98 Lakhs.

Formula tested: MPBF = 0.75 * (Total CA - Non-Bank CL)
Q10 Value at Risk (VaR) Calculation

A bank holds a trading portfolio of Rs. 100 Crores with a daily standard deviation of 1.5%. Assuming a 99% confidence level (z-score = 2.33), what is the 1-day Value at Risk (VaR)?

A.Rs. 3.495 Crores
B.Rs. 2.475 Crores
C.Rs. 1.500 Crores
D.Rs. 4.500 Crores
Explanation & Math derivation:

1-day VaR = Portfolio Value * Daily Volatility (σ) * Z-score = 100 Crores * 1.5% * 2.33 = 100 * 0.015 * 2.33 = Rs. 3.495 Crores.

Formula tested: 1-Day VaR = Portfolio Value * σ * Z(99%)
