A STUDY ON BASEL II NORMS IN INDIAN BANKS

ABSTRACT

Globalisation and financial innovation have over the last two decades or more multiplied and diversified the risks carried by the banking system. In response, the regulation of banking in the developed industrial countries has increasingly focused on ensuring financial stability, at the expense of regulation geared to realising growth and equity objectives. The appropriateness of this move is being debated even in the developed countries, which in any case are at a completely different level of development of their economies and of the extent of financial deepening and intermediation as compared to the developing world. Despite this and the fact that in principle the adoption of the core principles for effective banking supervision issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is voluntary, India like many other emerging market countries adopted the Basel I guidelines and has now decided to implement Basel II. Basel II is the second of the Basel Accords, which are recommendations on banking laws and regulations issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The purpose of Basel II is to create an international standard that banking regulators can use when creating regulations about how much capital banks need to put aside to guard against the types of financial and operational risks banks face. Advocates of Basel II believe that such an international standard can help protect the international financial system from the types of problems that might arise should a major bank or a series of banks collapse. In theory, Basel II attempted to accomplish this by setting up risk and capital management requirements designed to ensure that a bank holds capital reserves appropriate to the risk the bank exposes itself to through its lending and investment practices. Generally speaking, these rules mean that the greater risk to which the bank is exposed, the greater the amount of capital the bank needs to hold to safeguard its solvency and overall economic stability.

This study will analyse the structure of Basel II norms, Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR), Capital Structure, Types of Risks involved in Banking and various norms in CRAR.
