    Executive Summery

    Credit rating is basically to rate a particular company on the basis of its financial and other

    performance basis. Rating of MSMEs is the new concept through which the companies can get

    the benefits of subsidies given by the banks and the government, on the basis of the grade.

    CRISIL is a global analytical company providing ratings, research, and risk and policy advisoryservices. This is India's leading ratings agency. CRISIL is also the foremost provider of high-end

    research to the world's largest banks and leading corporations. With sustainable competitive

    advantage arising from our strong brand, unmatched credibility, market leadership across

    businesses, and large customer base, we deliver analysis, opinions, and solutions that make

    markets function better. Major shareholder of CRISIL is Standard and Poor's. Standard & Poor's,

    a part of The McGraw-Hill Companies, is the world's foremost provider of credit ratings.

    Main objective of the research is to check the awareness level among MSMEs about credit

    rating. Along with make them aware about credit rating and benefits of credit rating. For this the

    exploratory research was conducted in RIICO areas of Sikar, Palsana, Reengus, Chirawa and

    Pilani (Rajasthan). Main manufacturing business were granite tiles and slabs, plastic granules

    manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, bag manufacturing, cattle feed manufacturing,

    transformers manufacturing. Except this there are many other industries which are manufacturing

    other goods and grocery products.

    The sample was taken in the research was 220 manufacturing industries. After the research is

    was found that approx 85% industry people are not aware about the credit rating schemes. Only

    15% industry people were aware about rating. Industries that have done credit rating were using

    the subsidies given by the banks but most of them were not satisfied for services provided by

    CRISIL.

    Response about rating was approx 35%, as they were interested in rating only for getting loan

    and to get the benefit of subsidies on loan and interest.

    INTRODUCTION

    The credit rating represents the credit rating agency's evaluation of qualitative and quantitative

    information for a company or government; including non-public information obtained by the

    credit rating agencies analysts. Credit ratings are not based on mathematical formulas. Instead,

    credit rating agencies use their judgment and experience in determining what public and private

    information should be considered in giving a rating to a particular company or government.

    The credit report contains information regarding the financial history and current assets and

    liabilities of an individual. A bank or credit card company will use the credit score to estimate

    the probability that the individual will pay back loan or will pay back charges on a credit card.

    A poor credit rating indicates a credit rating agency's opinion that the company or government

    has a high risk of defaulting, based on the agency's analysis of the entity's history and analysis of

    long term economic prospects. A poor credit score indicates that in the past, other individuals

    with similar credit reports defaulted on loans at a high rate. The credit score does not take intoaccount future prospects or changed circumstances.

    CRISIL is the pioneer of credit ratings in India, now offers credible and affordable special rating

    services to help Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) make the most of these

    opportunities. CRISIL has set up a dedicated team of specialists in SME ratings, and has

    designed separate rating scales for rating SMEs and Small Enterprises (earlier known as Small

    Scale Industries or SSIs). CRISIL has already rated more than 12000 MSMEs up to May 2010.

    CRISIL is assigning 600 new ratings to MSMEs every month.

    According to the ministry of micro, small and medium enterprises recent ceilings on investmentfor enterprises to be classified as micro, small and medium enterprise are as follows

    Classification Manufacturing Enterprises Service Enterprises

    Micro Rs 25 lakh Rs 10 lakh

    Small Rs 5 Crore Rs 2 Crore

    Medium Rs 10 Crore Rs 5 Crore

    The credit rating is used by individuals and entities that purchase the bonds issued by companiesand governments to determine the likelihood that the government will pay its bond obligations.

    Benefits of credit Ratings-

    Cheaper and faster bank loansCRISIL enjoys a high level of credibility with banks. Therefore, banks use CRISIL ratings to

    make lending decisions and determine interest rates and terms. CRISIL has already signed MoUs

    with 32 banks and financial institutions to rate their borrowers. As per these MOUs, CRISIL

    charges fees at concessional rates to the banks customers, and the banks in turn offer favorable

    terms to entities with high CRISIL ratings.

    Confidence building with business partners:

    CRISIL is the best-known rating agency in India. Hence, a CRISIL rating will help increase the

    confidence and comfort levels of your customers, suppliers, and business partners.

    Support for export initiatives

    For exporters, CRISILs international linkage offers an additional advantage: Standard & Poors,

    a globally respected rating agency, is the majority shareholder in CRISIL. Therefore, a CRISIL

    rating will help establish your credentials with international customers.

    weaknesses of rated entities. Based on the CRISIL report, you can take steps to strengthen your

    operations and become more efficient. Each report provides reliable and independent feedback

    from customers, suppliers and banks.

    Affordable

    CRISILs SME Rating Services, while being highly credible, are also very much affordable.

    CRISIL offers an attractive concession in the rating fee for Small Enterprises. Also, NSIC Ltd,

    which is a corporation under the Ministry of MSME, Govt. of India provides 75% subsidy in the

    rating fee for Small Enterprises. Thus, the rating fee payable by the Small Enterprises ranges

    from Rs.7,456 to Rs.13,236 depending upon the turnover of the enterprise. For enterprises not

    registered as Small Enterprises, the fee is higher as the subsidy is not available from NSIC.

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    Gonzalez et.al.(2004) stated that rating agencies who strive to provide credit assessments that

    remain broadly stable through the course of the business cycle have been themselves affected as

    the growing reliance on rating mean that they are increasingly expected to satisfy a widening

    range of constituencies with different and sometimes conflicting interests.Companies have

    responded to this challenge largely by adding more products to their traditional product palette

    but also through modifications in the rating process. So its not predicted that these changes

    mean fundamental shift in the approach of the companies in risk measurement.

    Huang. Zan et al. (2004 found that in Credit rating analysis Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods

    achieved better performance than traditional statistical methods. This article introduces a

    relatively new machine learning technique, support vector machines (SVM).Another direction of

    the research was to improve the interpretability of the AI-based model and on that basis they

    conducted a market comparative analysis on the difference of determining factors in the United

    States.

    Altman .Edward et al (2004) didresearch on collateral values and recovery rates on corporate

    defaults can be volatile and, moreover, that they tend to go down just when the number of

    defaults goes up in economic downturns. This traditional focus on default analysis has been

    partly reversed by the recent significant increase in the number of studies dedicated to the subject

    of recovery-rate estimation and the relationship between default and RRs. Empirical evidence

    concerning this issue is also presented and discussed.

    Kavvathas,D. ( 2000) Research was based on motivating and exhibiting the potential of

    conditioning on economy wide state variables in improving the forecasting of the Credit Rating

    Transition Probability (CRTP) Matrix, both statistically and economically in sample and out

    sample experiments.findings of the study were that an increase in nominal short and long and

    real rates, a lower equity return and a higher equity return volatility are associated with higher

    relative downgrade intensities. They found that financial sector was more sensitive.

    Cantor. Richard et al. (1996 ) did research on determinants and impact of sovereign credit

    ratings assigned on two leading U.S agencies,Moody's Investor Services and Standard and

    Poor's. Of the large number of criteria used by the two agencies, six factors appear to play animportant role in determining a country's credit rating: per capita income, GDP growth, inflation,

    external debt, level of economic development, and default history. In addition, the authors find

    that sovereign ratings influence market yields particularly those on non-investment-grade issues -

    independently of any correlation with publicly available information.

    Altman, E. et al.( 2007) Conducted a research to know the contribution of small and medium

    sized enterprises (SMEs) the economy of many countries and the considerable attention placed

    on SMEs in the new Basel Capital Accord. They took the sample over 2,000 U.S. firms (with

    sales less than $65 million) on panel data of over the period 19942002, and develop a one-year

    default prediction model. This model has an out-of-sample prediction power which is almost 30

    per cent higher than a generic corporate model. An associated objective is to observe our model's

    ability to lower bank capital requirements considering the new Basel Capital Accord's rules for

    SMEs.

    Altman,E. & Sabato,G. (2004) two researchers did their research competitive effects of

    implementation of Basel II capital requirements on banks in the market for credit to SMEs in the

    U.S. After the research they came to know that only relatively minor competitive effects on most

    community banks because the large A-IRB adopters tend to make very different types of SME

    loans to different types of borrowers than community banks.

    Lehmann, I. (2001) found in a research that strong lending relationships between banks and

    small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in the bank-based financial system of

    Germany. So far, they have been mainly described by the notion of a house bank and

    transactional features of long term bankcustomer relationships. Data taken from the banks about

    the relationship and interaction variables prove to affect loan prices, collateral requirements and

    credit availability.

    Czarnitzkr,D. ( 2006) The objective of the research was to know the research and development

    activities in German small and medium-sized firms (SME). The empirical evidence suggests that

    West German SMEsare financially constrained in their R&D activities by both internal and external

    resources. Special attention is paid to the role of public research and development (R&D) subsidies.

    The results show that R&D in East Germany is to a large extent driven by public subsidies and that

    the usual financial market mechanisms are dysfunctional with respect to R&D in this region.

    Chernih, A. et al ( 2006 ) did a research related to base II Accord outlines a general frame work

    for determining regulatory capital requirements for credit risk portfolios. Different obligors

    usually operate in dependent socio-economic environments and these structural correlations are

    the main reason why regulatory capital is needed. There for it is not surprising that an important

    component of the regulatory regime for capital is the asset correlation between obligors.

    4. METHODOLOGY

    The methodology applied for this project is to undergo exploratory research. Since, CRISIL is

    itself undergoing through various activities, therefore the research format was to be kept

    exploratory. It will not only help us to identify the various businesses which can be successful

    and well organized in the small towns and all the RIICO areas, but also come out with some

    other useful findings which would help CRISIL in one way or other (e.g. Rating and bank loan).

    The research has been kept flexible and both the existing and potential industries were mapped

    so as to avoid the narrow minded approach towards the project. Another profit for the research

    that the industry in which CRISIL people will go for research for the crediting rating program of

    MSMEs the will be a potential customer will go under rating upcoming future.

    4.1 Research Design

    The research study follows an exploratory research design in order to study the awareness level

    about credit rating among MSMEs.

    4.2Sources of Data

    The primary data for the research study has been collected through a questionnaire containing 16

    questions which were filled by the industries which are manufacturing units or manufacturing

    cum trading units. The questionnaire included various parameters such as awareness, responseabout credit rating, banker and products. Various supplementary questions were also asked to

    gain maximum information from the respondents.

    4.3Sampling

    It is basically stratified quota sampling. For this study, 220 manufacturing units have been taken

    as the sample. The sample size research area was approx 250 km

    4.4Tools of Data Collection

    A questionnaire has been used for the purpose of collecting the primary data. Total 220questionnaires were filled up through one on one interaction with respondents.

    5 ANALYSIS OF THE RESEARCH

    There are approx 230 samples of industries for the survey to check the awareness level of

    crediting rating of MSMEs. The project work is to visit the industrial areas and to know that in

    which kind of the business the industries are. All industries are manufacturing units; some of

    them are manufacturer cum trading industries. As its clear in the objective that we are to check

    the awareness level about crediting rating and make the industry people aware that they are

    interested for ratings. Industry people are not aware about the rating companies and the scheme

    of rating of MSMEs. Some industries have gone through the rating services but they are not able

    to get profit after rating.

    Main source of awareness among these areas according to the research is TV and news paper.

    Some respondents are asking about SMS facilities on their mobile, but that should be only once.

    If somebody will be interested in rating services he will contact you.

    5.1 Granite Manufacturing Industry

    Granit industry is a medium enterprise in RIICO

    areas.

    Awareness level is Approx 33% of the industry

    which was included in the random sampling.

    Reason behind this is mostly companies are at

    small scale and the big industries have done

    their ratings.

    The Response about the Credit ratings was so not goodand the report did not include those companies which

    have rated.

  • 8/4/2019 Amit Ola Reg. no. 11005480

    18/46

    14

    There is one third part of the industry who wants to rate their industry.

    Most of the granite industries are self finance since the companies which have rated they did not

    get any kind of profit so another industry people do not want rating of the Industry.

    Banker plays a vital role in the case of ratings. In RIICO are most of the Industries are self

    financed and mostly their Banker are SBI,

    SBBJ, PNB. In Granite Industry the SBI

    user Bank are more as compare to PNB

    SBBJ and other banks.

    Main Reasons before this is many

    Industries are using the subsidy schemes

    given by these banks.

    Another reason for this is the loyalty about

    the banks. Banks like Coperative bank,

    ICICI are new market player, since most of the granite Industries are more than 20 years old so

    they people are less interested in shifting their banks.

    5.2 Plastic manufacturing Industries

    Plastic manufacturing industry is in the business

    of plastic granules, plastic tanks and other plastic

    materials.

    The response about credit ratings is quite good,

    since industry people less aware about the credit

    rating scheme. After the visit and they come to

    know about the rating schemes and 38 % of

    industry people are interested for ratings. They

    supply plastic tanks and granules all over India.

    The plastic industry people are not much aware

    about credit rating of MSMEs.

    Most of the industries are new internets and some

    plastic industries which are in the business of

    Polythene bags manufacturing are closed. Approx

    13% of people who are in market are aware about

    that and have done ratings.

    Main Banker of the industry is SBBJ and PNB .the amount of PNB users is increasing because

    many plastic industries in Palsana have taken

    loan form PNB banks at a low interest rate as

    compare to the other banks.

    There are some industries which are using

    services of Banks like ICICI,OBC and

    Cooperative banks as they are new entrants and

    providing fast services as compare to other

    banks.

    5.3Furniture Manufacturing Industries

    Furniture manufacturing industries are the

    small and medium enterprise. The main

    16

    Many small scale furniture manufacturer have taken loan from SBI ( State bank of India) and

    PNB as they are providing good services at low interest rate

    Awareness level in Furniture industry is 35%, and as compare to this same is response of the

    industry people about crediting ratings. The industries which are aware about Credit rating do

    not want to do rating of their firms and vice versa.

    Some small scale industries that are using subsidy scheme or have taken loan from banks are

    interested since they want more subsidy and less interest on the loan taken.

    5.4 Steel Manufacturing industries

    Steel manufacturing in the RIICO are of Chirawa,

    Pilani and Palsana is at small scale and micro

    level as there is a lot of small enterprises which

    are manufacturing steel gate and windows. They

    did not respond positive for rating since they are

    less aware about the rating schemes and benefits

    of rating.

    RIICO area of Reengus is developing in case of

    steel angle manufacturing and steel melting. Some big marketers have done the rating. Steel

  • 8/4/2019 Amit Ola Reg. no. 11005480

    21/46

    17

    industries which are new in the market earning a handsome profit are interested for rating since

    they want to increase their business

    Bankers of the steel Industries are SBBJ

    PNB and OBC and SBI Banks. Though the

    steel Industries are small and micro level

    enterprises and most of them are self

    financing firms with no loan amounts.

    As the Steel enterprises are small and micro

    level enterprise in RIICO are as well as in the

    domestic market of Sikar, Palsana and Chirawa.

    Firms are not aware about Credit rating Scheme

    of MSMEs as this is new concept for them and

    many of them do not want to indulge any kind

    of activity of the companies because they think

    that like insurance and other sales oriented

    companies they will disturb them for the schemes. So they are did not take interest in the

    schemes for them during the research.

    In Shekhawati region most of the areas comes under dark zone. In those area farmers cannot

    deep tube wells and the farmers who are having their own tube wells most of them got dried. So

    the sale of sprinklers is not up to mark. But the new concept of farming is dropping irrigation is

    in progress so the industry people are manufacturing the dropping pipes which are 1inch of

    diameter and easy to carry in farms. Since they are easy to carry but these are only success full in

    from big steel plants in India and melt them in the

    manufacturing unit and make steel slabs from that.

    Manufacturing of steel angle is the toughest task the steel

    is melt at high degree temperature and then the workers

    sent it through the machine to give it shape like slab and

    then cut this according to the size. There is a lot of hard

    work and concentration needed for this if any worker miss

    to catch the angle which is coming to him through the machine he will meet with the harm in his

    leg or in hand.

    6.4Finding in RIICO area Chirawa & Pilani

    In these areas the main business is furniture manufacturing, steel furniture, and stone cutting.

    The RIICO areas of these areas are not having manufacturing units. Some steel manufacturing

    cum trading units are in the market but as compare to Sikar and palsana RIICO area this is not so

    developed. Except this there is one or two manufacturing unit which is manufacturing Vermicompost. This time vermi compost is most valuable for farms. This is natural compost (khad)

    and increase the productivity of the farms as compare to urea and DAP. There is no harm of

    excess use of the vermi compost as compare to other fertilizers. Most of the farmers who are

    Brick Manufacturing

    A new business is growing in these areas that are Brick

    Industry. This time the construction work in the cities is on

    peak. The main reason behind this is the income level of

    the people who are living in small towns and villages is

  • 8/4/2019 Amit Ola Reg. no. 11005480

    37/46

    33

    increasing and many government employees who are living in villages are going to cities.

    The raw material is sand and water which is easily available and they are charging 3000 rupees

    for 1000 Bricks. Some of these industry people are have their own tractors or tractors on contract

    basis. They take extra charge for the supply of the bricks to the contractor or the customers.

    The industry people are getting handsome profit from this business and providing jobs to the

    peoples who are living in nearby villages.

    Agriculture Instruments Manufacturing

    Shri Shain agro workers and Shri shyam agri

    instruments are the main market players in the

    RIICO area of Sikar. This is the era of technology.

    In 1970 farmers of Rajasthan used to plough his

    fields by camel and bulls. Now a day approx 70% of

    farmers do farming by tractors. But still there are

    some farmers who cannot afford tractors are using

    the old trade of farming. Some farmers still believe that farming by the cattle is the best in

    cheaper way and the productivity of the land remains same for a long time period.

    They manufacture soil digger, two furrow ploughs,

    tractor trailer trolly, seed grader and other

    agricultural instruments. The industry persons

    prepare according to the customers needs and on

    order basis.

    The target market for this is the domestic farmers or

    the farmers in the different cities of Shekhawati

    Region which includes Churu, Jhunjhunu and Sikar.

    Businesses that Failed

    From the survey, some industries were known which were started in the surveyed small towns.

    Some manufacturing units of polythene manufacturing and furniture (Sikar, Palsana) failed.

    Main reason of fail of this business is ban on use. The poly bags which are available in the

    market are the main cause of pollution. They are making earth pollution as well as air pollution if

    one burn them. By burning of the poly bags they release carbon dioxide gas and carbon

    monoxide. These gases directly impact on Ozone layer of atmosphere and making it

    thin day by day and that is the main cause of global

    warming.

    Another reason to fail is the unavailability of skilled and

    semi skilled labor for the industries. According to the

    industry people the main reason of the unavailability of

    labor is the different program run by the government,

    NAREGA is one of them. Due to this program workers are

    not interested to work with the manufacturing industries.

    By the government schemes they get good salary for fewer efforts in lesser time. Unskilled

    workers who come for the work their performance is not up to mark because they do not have the

    knowledge of work done in the manufacturing units. In that case

    company does not able to fulfill the order on time and they people

    end up with loss at the end. This becomes the cause to loss brand

    image as well as customer loyalty for the products.

    The labor charges are high as unskilled labor charge is Rs 250 per

    day. Reason for high labor charges is unavailability of labor.

    Mostly persons have gone to abroad for work and earning more as

    compare to India.

    Except this there are more duties and taxes on the raw materials if the industry people import

    from another states. Due to this they people do not earn their desired profit and closed their

    business.

    A SWOT analysis of these businesses should be conducted separately so that similar flaws may

    not create problems for new upcoming businesses.

    1) It is recommended to do the SWOT analysis and develop business plan for the above

    suggested industries.

    2) Business Plan should consist of detailed study on marketing aspect of the product. This is the

    weakest point identified for the failed businesses.

    3) Some of the potential industries identified in Brick industries water purifier manufacturer,

    vermin compost manufacturer.

    4) Mostly industries are self financing industries and if in any case they need money they do

    transactions with theprivate financing companies of the Shahukar in the villages. The interest

    rate which the Shahukar charge is a bit higher as compare to the bank but in that case there is

    no security deposit system and easy availability of money.

    5) Top managers of CRISIL should continue with its enthusiastic approach towards the

    undertaken project. It keeps the team motivated and helps the project to proceed in the right

    direction.

    6) Most of the companies do not have their personal Wed address and not having any kind of

    internet connection. So this can be beneficial for the management to go in these services.

    Conclusion

    Credit rating Scheme represents the status and performance of a firm or industry in the national

    and international market as well as in domestic market. The industries which are in

    manufacturing in the survey areas are more than15 years old, there is a great risk involved in the

    market for the new industries.

    Rating means the performance of the company and on that basis this will decide the level and

    strength of the economic condition of manufacturing units in that area and will help to increase

    per capita income and living standard of the persons.

    It has facilitated in mapping industries on which further studies should be conducted and

    business plan be developed for the same. These industries will result into source of income much

    above the current sustenance level.

    CRISIL as a facilitator will play very important role in empowering rural women and also giving

    gainful employment to the unskilled youth. Further the business plan will take care of the

    profitability and check on the shortcomings in the business.
