INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDER

National Housing Bank National Housing Bank (NHB), a statutory organisation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India. NHB is an Apex Financial Institution formed under the Act of the Parliament with a mandate to promote, develop and regulate the Housing Finance Sector. Apart from regulating the housing finance companies (HFC), NHB also extends financial support by way of equity participation in HFCs and refinance facility to financial institutions such as Banks, HFCs, Co-operative Sector Institutions, Housing Agencies, etc. in urban and rural areas. NHB also extends project finance support for housing to different categories of institutions such as housing boards and public agencies, public private partnership companies, Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs), not-for-profit organizations.

Housing Micro Finance (HMF) support to MFIs, not-for-profit organizations is a growing focus area for NHB, given huge housing shortage in the lower income segments in the informal sector. NHB has been extending housing micro finance support for the last four years, and has developed systems and procedures for the same, including an Internal Credit Rating Model for assessing the institutions against their eligibility for such support.

The Head Office of NHB is located in New Delhi with Regional Office in Mumbai and Representative Offices in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Kolkata.

I. Objective

To review and revise the Internal Credit Rating Model (ICRM) of National Housing Bank (NHB) for financing Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) including not-for-profit community based organizations, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) constituted as Registered Societies or Trusts or Section 25 Companies.

II. Scope of Work

(i) To review the existing ICRM for MFIs in the light of the experience gained so far and the developments in the sector relating to MFIs.

(ii) To study, examine and document comparable models being used by other financial institutions in India and abroad.

(iii) To develop ICRM for not-for-profit community based organizations (CBOs) as potential clients of NHB to channelise credit to the lower income groups.

(iv) To develop ICRM for organizations which hitherto were only engaged as originating and servicing agents for institutional lenders but were not lending on their own accord, i.e. organizations which are migrating to lending.

(v) To suggest a suitable appraisal, administrative and monitoring framework for such not-for-profit organizations including standard appraisal formats, application forms duly taking into consideration the special features of community based organizations, the longer tenure of housing loans and the lack of experience on the part of such organizations in managing credit risk over long periods.

III. Methodology

i) Study past experience of NHB

(ii) Study and compare credit rating models for micro finance lending in India and abroad, particularly for housing loans.

(iii) Study the country context and range of MFIs undertaking housing micro finance or having the potential to undertake housing micro finance.

(iv) Identify the relevant parameters / variables with assessment.

(v) Review legal and institutional framework of the community based organizations with reference to their suitability for long term borrowings.

(vi) Study the capacity of the MFIs to undertake long term housing micro finance.

(vii) Validate new ICRM vis-à-vis external ratings, if any.

(viii) Suggest periodicity for review of the ICRM for these institutions in view of rapid changes in the segment.

IV. Deliverables

(i) ICRM for rating of community based organizations, differentiating between not-for-profit community based financial institutions (CBFIs) and for-profit MFIs taking into account various factors like legal constitution, size, regional characteristics, business strategies, operating methodologies, customer profiles, financial strength, risk management capabilities, business models, etc.
