New Delhi: Punjab National Bank (PNB) has entered into MOUs with credit rating agencies Fitch Ratings India Ltd. and ICRA. Under these MoUs, Fitch Ratings and ICRA will assign ratings to the bank’s loans and its other exposures under the standardized approach of RBI’s New Capital Adequacy Framework for Basel-II.

They will carry out ratings under the standardized approach under its “Line of Credit" rating service which would enable PNB to assign the new risk weights applicable to its borrowers under Basel-II. The risk weights would be linked to various rating categories and would be as per RBI’s Basel- II guidelines.

Existing and potential borrowers of PNB are being offered special concessional rates for obtaining the said ratings.
