    Preferences screen is displayed.

  17. On the Preferences screen, specify the details as required.

    Preferences are the options that are available to the user for setting the attributes of a product. The options user choose ultimately shape the product.

    For example, the user has the option of applying a tax on a product. If the user specifies that tax is applicable for a product, the deal involving the product will inherit the attribute. However, the user can waive tax (if it has been defined for the product the deal involves) at deal processing.

    Similarly, the user can choose between the automatic liquidation of schedules and manual liquidation; the user can choose to allow rollover of deals involving the product or deny it, and so on.

    For information on fields, see the below table:

    Table 2-8 Preferences - Field Description

    Field Description

    Payments

    Specify whether the payment method for the main interest (specified while defining attributes for the interest, commission, charge or fee) components is to be bearing, discounted or true discount. This cannot be changed at the time of processing a deal.

    Bearing:The interest is liquidated on the scheduled payment date(s).For example, the user has made a placement USD 100,000 for GreenvilleGlobal Bank at 20% interest for a month. Now, under the bearing type of interest payment method, the placement of USD 100,000 is advanced to Greenville Global Bank, and the interest on it is collected over the one month which is the tenor of the placement.

    Discounted:In this interest payment method, the interest is deducted from the principal at the time of initiating the deal. Carrying forward the example of the placement for Greenville Global Bank of USD 100,000 at 20% interest for a month, under the discounted type of interest payment, the total interest calculated for the tenor of the deal, that is one month, USD 1,666.67 is deducted from the principal (USD 100,000)and only USD 98,333.33 is advanced.

    True discounted:In this interest payment method, the interest is calculated on the principal in a manner differing slightly from the ‘Discounted’ method. The interest rate is applied to the Principal instead of Nominal, as it is done in the‘Discounted’ method.

    For example, in the case of Greenville Global Bank’s placement of USD100,000 at 20% interest for a month, under the true discounted type of interest payment, the interest calculated on the principal, USD 98,333.5,(arrived at after deducting 20% interest on the nominal) is deducted fromthe nominal (USD 100,000) and USD 98,360.66 is advanced. This formsthe actual principal of the deal.

    Allow Brokerage

    Select this check box to add the brokerage to the product.

    Pay Past Schedules

    The user must indicate if the backdated deal that has schedules prior to today’s date; those schedules have to be liquidated when the deal is initiated. A back dated deal is one, which has a Value Date (initiation date)falling before the date on which it is booked.

    For example, a money market deal is initiated as of today, a date in thefuture, or as of a date in the past. Today’s date is 15 October 1997. Suppose the user initiate a deal of 15,000 USD today, with the Value Date (date on which the deal comes into effect) as 15 September 1997, the system will pass accounting entries for initiation as of 15 September 1997. But if there had been an interest payment schedule for 30 September 1997, for 500 USD, and then if the user specify that back values schedules must be liquidated, the user can make the system pass accounting entries to liquidate this schedule also when the deal is initiated.

    If the user specify that back dated schedules are not to be liquidated; only accrual entries are passed till today. Please note that the entries associated with each event (initiation and liquidation in this case) is passed only if they have been defined

    Prepayment Penalty

    The user specify if the penalty must be applied on prepayment of deals involving this product.

    Track Accrued Interest

    The user has to specify if the accrued interest of earlier placements (that has not been paid) must be considered as the utilized amount for the purpose of credit administration. (If more than one interest type of component is applicable on a product, the user must designate one as the ‘main’ interest.) The following example illustrates how this concept works.

    If user opts to track accrued interest, then the interest accrued on deals is added on to the amount utilized by the customer, for credit administration.

    The utilization is shown as the sum of the principal and the accrued interest in the reports generated by the credit administration (Limits) sub-system. Outstanding interest, if any, will also be shown in these reports.

    Forward Dating Allowed

    Choose the Value Date (That is the date on which it is initiated) for a deal from:

    • The date on which it is input
    • A date in the past or
    • A date in the future

    The user must indicate whether a deal involving a product could have a Value Date in the future. A deal must have a value date in the future only if the user has allowed it for the product that it involves. An Initiation date in the past, or today, indicated for any deal.

    When a deal with a Value Date in the future is stored, no accounting entries is passed on the date of input. The deal is initiated by the Automatic Contract Update function during the Beginning-of-Day (BOD) processes on the Value Date (initiation date). All the necessary accounting entries is passed on this date.

    However, if the Value Date falls on a holiday, the deal is initiated as per your holiday handling specifications in the Branch Parameters screen:

    • If the user has specified that automatic processes are to be carried out for holidays, the deal slated for initiation on holiday is initiated during end-of-day processing on the last working day before the holiday.
    • If the user has specified that the automatic processes are to be carried out only till System Date (today’s date), the deal slated for initiation on holiday is initiated on the next working day immediately after the holiday, during beginning-of-day processing.

    Tax Applicable

    As part of the preferences that the user define for a product, the user can specify whether any tax is applicable to the SR product that the user is creating. If tax is specified for a product, the user can waive it for specific deals. However, if the user specify that tax is not applicable to a product, the user cannot levy a tax on any deal involving the product.

    Allow Rollover

    The user must specify whether a deal, involving the product defined, is rolled over into a new deal if it is not liquidated on its Maturity Date.

    If the user specify that rollover is allowed for the product, it is applicable to all the deals involving the product. However, at the time of processing a specific deal involving this product, the user can indicate that rollover is not allowed.

    However, if the user specify that rollover is not allowed for a product, the user cannot rollover deals involving the product.

    The terms of the rolled over deal is the same as those of the original deal, or they are different. If the terms must be different, they must be specified during deal processing.

    Automatic Liquidation

    Select this check box to allow the automatic liquidation of the product.

    Intra-day Deal

    Deals having the same Maturity and Value Date are known as Intra-day deals. The user are able to capture intra-day deals only if the user has indicated that the product for which the user specifies preferences is meant for intra-day deals.

    Verify Funds For Principal

    During auto liquidation if Verify Funds For Principal is checked at the contract level, the system checks the available balance in the Principal amount's settlement account.

    Verify Funds for Interest

    During auto liquidation if Verify Funds For Interest is checked at contract level, the system checks the available balance in the settlement account for the Interest amount

    Verify Funds For Penalty Amount

    If Verify Funds For Penalty amount is checked at the contract level during auto liquidation, the system checks the available balance in the settlement account for the Penalty amount.

    Rate Fixing Required

    Select this Check box to indicate if the Rate fixing is applicable for the product.

    Net Negative Interest

    Check this box to indicate that the system should internally net the positive and negative amounts being paid to the customer during interest liquidation.

    The system allows you to check this box only for products with negative interest allowed for the main component.

    Product Code

    The selected product code is displayed.

    Accrual Specify the Accrual fields.

    Frequency

    This is a Mandatory Field.

    Define the frequency at which the user would like to accrue the components. The frequency is one of the following:
    • Daily
    • Monthly
    • Half Yearly
    • Yearly
    When the user run the Automatic Contract Update function at the end of the day, the system carries out the accruals according to the frequency that is specified. However, if the accrual date falls on a holiday, then the accruals are done as per your holiday handling specifications in the Branch parameters screen. That is:
    • If the user has specified that automatic events are to be processed for a holiday(s) on a working day before the holiday, the accruals falling due on holiday (s) are processed during end-of-day processing on the last working day before the holiday.
    • If the user has specified that the automatic events are to be processed for a holiday(s) on a working day following the holiday, the automatic events falling due on holiday (s) are processed on the next working day, during the beginning of day processing.

    Start Month

    Select the Start Month details as required from the drop-down list.

    Start Date

    Specify the Start Date as required.

    Tenor

    The user can set the minimum and maximum tenor limits for a product that the user creates. The user can also set a default tenor. This is the tenor that is normally associated with a deal involving the product. However, the default tenor applied to a deal is changed during its processing.

    Minimum

    The user can set the minimum tenor for the product here. The tenor of the deals involving this product must be greater than or equal to the tenor the user has specified here. Only the number is specified here.

    Default

    The user can specify the default tenor of the product here. This default tenor applies to all deals involving the product, but the user can change it at the time of deal processing. Only the number is specified here. The unit (days,months, etc.) is specified in a subsequent field.

    For example, the user has a Weekly Repo product. This product is for borrowings from customers for a maximum duration of one week. For such a product the user can set a minimum tenor of one day and a maximum tenor of one week. The user can also define a default tenor for the product, of, say,one week. This tenor is applicable to all the deals involving the product if the user do not specify any tenor at the time of its processing.

    Maximum

    The user can set the maximum tenor for the product here. The tenor of the deals involving this product must be lesser than or equal to the tenor the user has specified here. Only the number is specified here.

    Unit

    In the minimum, maximum and default tenor fields the user set the duration numerically. Here, the user specify the unit of the duration. It could be:

    • Days
    • Months or,
    • Years

    For example, to define the default tenor, in the Default tenor field, define the number and the unit - days, months, years, in the Unit field.

    Suppose, for a product; the user want to define the default tenor as 150 days. Then it would be best if the user give the following values in these fields:

    • Default tenor - 150
    • Unit - Days

    To define a default tenor of 10 months for a product, the user must give the following values in the fields:

    • Default tenor - 10
    • Unit - months

    To define a default tenor of eight years for a product, the user must give the following values in the fields:

    • Default tenor - 8
    • Unit - years
    Rate Variance

    Specify the Rate Variance fields.

    Normal Rate Variance

    The user needs to specify the minimum/normal variance allowed for the rate. Suppose the exchange rate variance between the exchange rate (specified for the product) and the rate captured for a Repo exceeds the value specified here. In that case, the system displays an overriding message before proceeding to apply the exchange rate. The normal variance must be less than the maximum variance.

    For back valued transactions, the system applies the rate based on the exchange rate history. The variance based on the rate prevailing at that time.

    Maximum Rate Variance

    The user cannot apply an exchange rate on a deal, involving the product the user is creating, which is greater than the value the user specifies as the Maximum Variance. If the exchange rate variance exceeds the standard rate by the amount the user-specified as the maximum variance; the system will not store the contract.

    For example, the user has specified the normal variance as 3% and the maximum variance as 6% for Product SR01. Suppose the user applies the exchange rate on a contract involving SR01 that varies from the applicable rate maintained for the day by less than 3%. In this case, the system will NOT display an overriding message.

    If the user apply an exchange rate on a contract involving SR01 that varies from the Standard Rate by between 3% and 6%, the system will display an override message. If the user applies an exchange rate on a contract involving SR01 that varies from the day's rate by more than 6%, the system will not store the contract.

    Note:

    The exchange rate variance is a percentage

    Holiday Treatment Preferences

    The schedule or maturity date of a contract might fall on a local holiday defined for your branch or on holiday specified for the currency involved in the contract. Therefore, the user needs to specify how the system must handle holidays.

    • The user has specified that a schedule falling due on holiday has to be moved forward or backwards; and
    • The schedule has been defined with a definite frequency.

    If the user checks this box to cascade schedules, the scheduled date following the changed date is shifted following the changed date as per the frequency. If the user opt not to cascade schedules, even if one of the scheduled dates are changed, the schedules, which follow, are fixed as per the original definition.

    Currency Holiday

  23. On the Component Liquidation Order screen, specify the details as required.

    For a contract defined with manual liquidation of components, the Liquidation Order is considered when a payment has to be automatically distributed among the various outstanding components. For a contract with automatic liquidation, the order of liquidation becomes important when funds are insufficient in the repayment account on the day of liquidation, and more than one component has a schedule falling due on that day.

    Under such circumstances, the user might want to allot priority to the recovery of certain components. For example, the user might want to recover the interest (or interest type of components) first and then the principal. The ageing analysis function takes over once a component is overdue, and an appropriate penalty is applied. For a component on which penalty interest has been applied, the user may wish to recover penalty interest first, the interest next and finally the principal.

    Note:

    The user can specify the liquidation order for all the interest type of components and the principal.

Specify Grace Days to Penalty

The grace period specifies the period within which the penalty interest (if one is defined for the product) will not be applied, even if the repayment is made after the due date. This period is defined as a specific number of days and will begin when the repayment becomes due.

Penalty interest is applied on repayments made after the grace period and is calculated for the entire period. It has been outstanding (that is, from the date the payment was due).

For example, an interest repayment on a borrowing deal is due on 15 June 1998. the user has specified a grace period of 5 days, after which a penalty interest of 2% is imposed.

If the customer makes the interest payment on 18 June, which falls within the grace period, he/she will not have to pay penal interest. But if the customer makes the payment after the expiry of the grace period, after 20 June, he/she is charged penal interest. It is calculated from 16 June onwards and not from 20 June. If the payment is made within the grace period, normal interest is applied to the scheduled repayment date.

Grace Days for Multiple Penal Components

If your bank has chosen to have multiple penal components, the user can define grace days (in days, months or years) to be applicable for each level.

The penalty is not applied if the payment made within the grace period that the user has defined for each level. It becomes applicable only after the expiry of the grace period. If applied, the penalty is calculated from the day the payment becomes overdue.

Note:

The number of grace days specified for a level must be more than the number of grace days specified for the previous level. Higher the level, higher the number of grace days defined for the level. For a product, the user can specify the grace period after which the penalty will start accruing, through the Grace Days Definition screen.

  1. On the Preference screen, click Grace Days.

    Grace Days screen is displayed.

  2. On the Grace Days screen, specify the details as required.

    For information on fields, see the below table:

    Table 2-12 Grace Days - Field Description

    Field Description

    Product Code

    The Product code defined at the product level is displayed.

    Product Description

    The Product Description of the selected product are displayed.

    Level Number

    This is a Mandatory field.

    The system updates the level of the intermediary in the hierarchy on saving the record.

    The level numbers get defaulted depending on the number of levels defined in the ICCB Details screen, irrespective of the Basis Amount Type i.e. if the user define three levels of penalty for the Basis Amount type Principal and four levels of penalty for the Basis Amount type Interest, levels 1 to 4 are available to the user in the Grace days definition screen. The user will not be able to add levels in this screen. Since the level numbers get defaulted from the ICCB Details screen, it is imperative that the expected and overdue components are defined at the ICCB Details screen, prior to the definition of grace days for the levels.

    Note:

    Grace days are defined for a level. The user cannot specify different grace days for the same level for different Basis amount types. After the product has been saved and authorize, the user are not allowed to modify grace days.

    No of Units/Nominal Value

    Specify the number of units or nominal values.

    Units

    This is a Mandatory field.

    The user must specify the grace period for each level. Each overdue component will come into effect when the grace period associated with the level expires. The grace period is expressed in:

    • Days
    • Months
    • Years

    Grace Days to Penalty

    The grace period specifies the period within which the penalty interest (if one is defined for the product) will not be applied, even if the repayment is made after the due date. This period is defined as a specific number of days and will begin from the date the repayment becomes due.

    Penalty interest is applied on repayments made after the grace period and is calculated for the entire period it has been outstanding (that is, from the date the payment was due).

    For example, an interest repayment on a borrowing deal is due on 15 June 1998. The user has specified a grace period of 5 days, after which a penalty interest of 2% is imposed.

    Now, if the customer makes the interest payment on 18 June, which falls within the grace period, he/she will not have to pay penal interest, but if the customer makes the payment after the grace period's expiry, that is, after20 June, he/she is charged penal interest. It is calculated from 16 June onwards and not from 20 June. If the payment is made within the grace period, normal interest is applied as of the scheduled repayment date.

    Grace Days for Multiple Penal Components

    If your bank has chosen to have multiple penal components, the user can define grace days (in days, months or years) to be applicable for each level. The penalty will not be applied if the payment made within the grace period that the user has defined for each level. It becomes applicable only after the expiry of the grace period. If applied, the penalty is calculated from the day the payment becomes overdue.

    Note:

    The number of grace days specified for a level must be more than the number of grace days specified for the previous level. Higher the level, higher the number of grace days defined for the level.For a product, the user can specify the grace period after which the penalty will start accruing, through the Grace Days Definition screen.

  3. On the Securities Repo Product Definition screen, click Interest.

    ICCF Details screen is displayed.

  4. On the ICCF screen, specify the details as required.

    For information on fields. see the below table

    Table 2-13 ICCF - Field Description

    Field Description

    Amount Type

    Specify the basis on which interest has to be calculated. By default, the principal will be taken as the basis.

    Pre Payment Method

    The prepayment method identifies the computation of the prepayment penalty for the contract.

    Stop Application

    Select this check box to stop application.

    The attributes defined for a product will be automatically applied to all contracts involving the product. If, for some reason, the user want to stop applying the Interest Rule defined for the product on contracts that are to be initiated in the future (involving the product), the user could do so through the Product ‘ICCB Details’ screen.

    In effect, stopping the application of a component for a product would be equivalent to deleting the component from the product. By specifying that the application of the component must be stopped, the user has the advantage of using the definition made for the component again, by making it applicable.

    Propagation Required

    Select this check box if the propagation is required.

    If the interest amount collected from the borrower must be passed on to participants of the contract, check the 'Propagation Required' check box.

    Accrual Required

    Select this check box if the accrual is required.

    Allow Amendment

    A change to a contract (after it has been authorized) that involves a change in its financial details constitutes an Amendment on the contract. The user can indicate whether such an Amendment, called a Value Dated Change, must be allowed for the interest component being defined.

    The user can amend the following through this function:

    • Interest rate
    • Rate code
    • Spread
    • Interest amount

    Consider as Discount

    While defining an interest, the user can indicate whether the interest component is to be considered for discount accrual on a constant yield basis or whether accrual of interest is required.

    If the user select the Consider as Discount option the interest received against the component is used in the computation of the constant yield and subsequently amortized over the tenor of the associated contract.

    Checking the Consider as Discount also indicates whether the interest component is to be considered for IRR computations.

    The Consider as Discount option is not available if the amount category is Penalty.

    Collection Type

    Select the collection type. The options are:

    • Advance
    • Arrear

    Category

    If the interest rate type is Fixed or Floating, the Amount Basis Category specifies the type of balance that has to be considered for interest application. It could be any one of the following:

    • Expected
    • Overdue
    • Normal
    • Outstanding

    If the Basis Amount Category is Expected, the balance on which interest has to be applied will be the Expected balance (the balance assuming that all the scheduled repayments defined for the contract are made on time).

    If the Basis Amount Category is Overdue, the balance on which interest has to be applied will be the amount that is overdue, based on the repayment method defined for the contract. An example of this category is the application of penalty interest on the Principal amount or interest, when a repayment has not been made, as per the date specified for the contract.

    Settlement Currency

    Specify the currency in which the interest, charge or fee component gets settled. The currency mentioned here must exist in the currency table. By default it is the local currency.

    Level Number

    Grace Period and Level Number

    The user can apply interest at various levels:

    • Main interest on principal – Level 0 (Category: Expected)
    • Interest on overdue interest – Level 1 (Category: Overdue)
    • Interest on Level 1 interest – Level 2 (Category: Overdue) … and so on.

    For each interest component, starting from Level 1 and belonging to ‘Overdue’ category, the user can also specify the number of grace days, beyond the main interest due date, after which that interest component becomes applicable. For each such component, the default value for the number of grace days is:

    Number of grace days for the previous level + 30 days

    The user can change this value, provided that the number of grace days for a component (level) does not exceed the number of grace days for any successive level. At any point, an amendment of the number of grace days for any or more interest components at the Product ICCB level will only affect new contracts.

    For interest components of Level 0 and ‘Expected’ category, the default value for grace days is 0 – this cannot be changed.

    Main Component

    The user can define any number of interest type of components (tenor based components) for a product. If the user has defined more than one interest type of component, the user can specify the main interest component as ‘Main Component’. This will be the interest component that will be used for capitalization or amortization purposes if the repayment schedules are defined thus.

    The details of this Main Component will be shown in the Contract Details screen and the user can change them there without having to invoke the Contract ICCB Details screen. Components other than the main component have to be processed through the Contract ICCB Details screen.

    Bulk Amount

    When a contract gets rolled over, the user may wish to split it into 2 contracts - one for the interest amount (I) and the other for the principal amount (P). If the user want the floating rate pickup for both the new contracts (tenor/amount) to be based on P+I of the original contract, check the 'Bulk Amount' check box. For example, if the principal amount is Rs.1000 and Interest accrued is Rs.100. Upon rollover, your bank may require two contracts, one for Rs.1000 (Principal contract) and the other for Rs.100(interest contract). Lets say the slab rate followed by your bank is:

    • 0 – 1000 - 3%
    • 1001 – 2000 - 4%

    In the normal course, system would apply 3% interest rate on both the contracts of Rs.1000 and Rs.100 (since both fall within 0 -1000 slab). But if the ‘Bulk Amount’ option is chosen, then 4% is applied on both the contracts (as if a single contract of Rs.1100 is rolled over where system would have applied 4pct).

    Link Contract As Rate Code

    The user can use this field to indicate whether a fixed rate contract may be linked to the floating rate component, instead of a rate code. Check this box to indicate that a fixed rate contract may be linked.

    Grace Period

    The grace days that user specify for any level of interest in the Product ICCF screen will default to contracts entered under that product.

    Alternative Risk-Free Rate

    Select the Alternate Risk-Free Rate check box to enable the Alternate Risk Free-Rate preferences.

    For more information on the

    Alternate Risk Free-Rate preferences fields, refer to .

    Rate Type

    The Rate Type indicates whether the interest is a Fixed Rate, a Floating Rate or a Special amount. When creating a product, the user must specify the Rate Type through the ‘Product - ICCB Details’ screen.

    If the Rate Type is a Floating Rate, the user must also specify the Rate Code to which the product has to be linked.

    Rate Code

    Each Rate Code corresponds to a rate defined for a combination of Currency, Amount (if it is necessary) and an Effective Date. These details are maintained in the Floating Rates table.

    This rate will be applied to contracts involving the product.

    Borrow Lend Indicator

    Floating rates are defined with a borrow or a lend tag attached to them. Here, the user indicate the nature of the floating rate that needs to be picked up for the interest component.

    The options available are:

    • Borrow
    • Lend
    • Mid

    Rate Cycle Type

    For floating type of interest components and fixed type with rate code attached, the user can indicate the manner in which floating rates must be applied.

    The preference that the user specify here is used when an interest component does not fit into any direct parameter defined for the floating rate code. The options available are:

    • Up – Choose this option to indicate that the rate of the upper tenor slab must be used.
    • Down - Choose this option to indicate that the rate of the lower tenor slab must be used
    • Interpolate - Choose this option to indicate that the rate must be interpolated between the rates of the upper and lower slabs
    • Round Off - Choose this option to indicate that the tenor of the component must be rounded off to the nearest whole number. The rate defined for the derived tenor will be applied to the component

    Event

    The event is to which the component must be applied together with its description.

    Rule

    Rule associated to the Interest component

    Component

    The component for which the user are entering details together with its description.

    Code Usage

    The user must specify the method in which the rates in the Floating Rates table have to be applied. It could either be automatic application (meaning the rate has to be applied every time it changes), or periodic application (meaning the rate has to be applied at a regular frequency, defined for each contract involving the product).

    Reset Tenor

    Enter the tenor for which the floating rate (when applied automatically) needs to be picked up from the floating rates table, for contracts using this product. This field is applicable to floating type of interest components and fixed type with rate code attached.

    Margin Basis

    Indicate the basis for the interest margin and the method for applying the interest margin on the selected interest component for contracts using this product.

    The user need to specify how the system must obtain the interest margin (if any) that must be applied on the selected interest component at the time of fixing the interest rate for contracts using the product. The available options are:

    • Facility - The system defaults the margin from the borrower facility contract with which the drawdown is linked.
    • Tranche - The system defaults the margin from the borrower tranche contract with which the drawdown is associated.
    • Drawdown - If this option is chosen, the user must enter the applicable margin when the interest rate is fixed.
    • This component which the user select is excluded from all the processing including liquidation and this calculation type is only used for margin application.
    • After defining this component, booked formula for main interest component needs to be modified by replacing INTEREST_RATE with INTEREST_RATE + MARGIN_RATE. By doing this the interest gets calculated based on resolved interest rate (i.e. including floating rate and spread if applicable) and the margin.
    • Customer - If this option is chosen, then the margin will be applicable to all draw down contracts under the selected customer.

    Interest Basis

    This field indicates how the system must consider the tenor basis upon which interest is computed over a schedule or interest period, in respect of the interest component being associated with the product.

    Denominator Basis

    This field indicates the interest methods which have their interest basis set to ACTUAL i.e. 30(EURO)/ACTUAL, 30(US)/ACTUAL and ACTUAL/ACTUAL. Denominator Basis is used to specify how the month of February is treated when the denominator is 'Actual'. There are two types of denominator basis methods:
    • Per Interest Basis – Here the computation would be done based on ACT/ACT–ISMA Interest Method. In this case, the '366 Basis' field will not be applicable.
    • Per Annum (A) – Here the interest calculation will depend on the value the user specify for 366 Basis

    366 Basis

    This is applicable only if the Denominator Basis is set to 'Per Annum'. The user can select one of the following values here:

    • Leap Year
    • Leap Date - computation would be done based on ACT/ACT - FRF Interest Method

    No of Interest Period

    Consider as Discount

    While defining a charge class for either the securities or the bills module, the user can indicate whether the charge component is to be considered for discount accrual on a constant yield basis.

    If the user select this option the charge received against the component is used in the computation of the constant yield and subsequently amortized over the tenor of the associated contract.

    Checking this option also indicates that the component is to be used for IRR calculation.

    Discount Basis

    While defining a charge class the user can define the discount basis for the purpose of IRR computation. The user can choose either of the following as discount basis:

    • Inflow – If the user choose Inflow, the charge will be considered as an inflow for IRR computation
    • Outflow – If the user choose Outflow, the charge will be treated as an outflow for IRR computation

    The user can define discount basis only if the ‘Consider as Discount’ option is enabled.
