7.1.1.4 Delinquency

This assumption caters to large and non-large customers. This assumption is based on the anticipation of the bank that there can be an emergency loss due to the delinquency of its customers which will affect the future cash flows. When a customer becomes delinquent, the cash flows of the delinquent buckets (as specified in percentage and amount) are moved to the overnight bucket. To specify delinquency on large customers, select a large customer dimension; however, the computation of cash flows is the same for both large and non-large customers. In a delinquency assumption, the cash flow movement happens from the forward bucket/s to the previous bucket (Overnight).

See Defining a New Business Assumption for information on the steps involved in specifying this assumption.

The following steps are involved in applying the delay in cash flow timing assumption to cash flows:

  1. Identify the original time bucket and calculate the cash outflow occurring in it due to the assumption.
  2. Identify the corresponding revised time buckets and the cash inflow occurring in it, including penalties, if any.
  3. If time-specific or critical obligation, record the delay and indicate a breach. Cash flow assignment is done in the following manner:

    An example of the assumption applied to product type (Business loan), and currency (USD) for Large and Non-Large Customers is illustrated in the table:
