The pool is backed by CV, CE and Bus loan receivables originated by Manappuram Finance Limited (MAFIL; 'CRISIL AA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'). The credit opinion on the acquirer payouts is based on the credit quality of pool cash flows, MAFIL's origination and servicing capabilities, the transaction's credit enhancement, and payment mechanism and soundness of the transaction's legal structure.
 
The transaction has been evaluated as part of Partial Credit Guarantee (PCG) scheme offered by Government of India to Public Sector Banks (PSBs) for purchase of pooled assets from NBCFs/HFCs through DA route. The credit opinion does not factor in the partial credit guarantee that is expected to be provided by the Government of India to the transaction and is purely based on the credit collateral as provided by the originator in the structure.
 
The transaction has a 'par' structure wherein the trust settled by Beacon Trusteeship Limited (BTL) assigned the loan receivables to 'Manappuram PCG DA Nov 2019' in exchange for a purchase consideration which is equal to the 100.0% of the pool principal. Credit-cum-liquidity collateral of Rs 11.02 crore (11.0% of the pool principal; currently in the form of fixed deposit) provides credit support to acquirer's payouts.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Supporting Factors
  • Credit support available in the structure
    • Credit-cum-liquidity collateral of Rs 11.02 crore (11.0% of initial pool principal) provides support exclusively to acquirer's payouts. As per the terms of the transaction, the credit-cum-liquidity collateral shall not be used to fund any shortfall in the seller's payouts
  • Seasoning profile
  • Loans in the pool have a weighted average net seasoning of 12.8 months which has led to 25.7% of disbursed principal being amortised prior to securitisation
Constraining Factors
  • Unseasoned portfolio as disbursement for CV segment started in Jan-15
  • Overdue contracts
    • 15.3% of the pool is in 1 month or more overdue bucket as of the pool cut-off date
CRISIL has adequately factored these aspects in its rating analysis
 
Liquidity: Strong


  • Liquidity is strong given that the credit enhancement available in the structure is sufficient to cover losses exceeding 1.5 times the currently estimated base shortfalls
Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward


  • Credit enhancement  (based on both internal and external credit enhancements) available in the structure exceeding 2.1 times the estimated base case shortfalls on the residual cash flows of the pool.
  • A sharp upgrade in the rating of the servicer/originator
     
Downward
  • Credit enhancement falling below 1.5 times the estimated base case shortfalls
  • A sharp downgrade in the rating of the servicer/originator
  • Non-adherence to the key transaction terms envisaged at the time of the rating
About the pool
The pool consists of CV, CE and Bus loan contracts. The weighted average seasoning of the pool is 12.8 months, and the pool is geographically moderately concentrated, with the top three states accounting for 43.3% of the pool principal. Only 84.7% of the contracts in the pool are current on payment as on the pool cut-off date, with a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 76.0% and average ticket size of Rs. 9.6 lakhs.
 

Key Rating Assumptions
To assess the base case collection shortfalls for the transaction CRISIL has analysed vintage-wise static pool performance of loans disbursed from Q3 FY14 to Q2 FY 20 with performance up to September 2019. Moving portfolio delinquency of MAFIL's portfolio across different asset classes has also been considered. Overall, 90+ dpd on MAFIL's portfolio was 3.1% as of September 2019.
 
CRISIL has also analysed the portfolio cuts based on Tenure, Asset type, State, etc. and compared the pool with the portfolio on these parameters. CRISIL's analysis of the static pools reveals that recent originations have performed better than the earlier originations.
 
The current pool is fairly seasoned with a weighted average net seasoning of 12.8 months and principal amortisation of 25.7% at the time of securitisation. CRISIL has adequately factored all these pool specific characteristics and estimated the base case peak shortfalls in the pool in the range of 8-10% of pool cashflows. CRISIL has assumed a stressed monthly prepayment rate of 0.1% to 0.8% in its analysis.

Counterparty Rating / Track record

Effect on credit ratings in case of non-performance

Originator and seller MAFIL 'CRISIL AA/Stable/CRISIL A1+' No effect.
Servicer MAFIL 'CRISIL AA/Stable/CRISIL A1+' Significant effect, because of change in servicing quality and replacement cost of servicer (not factored in by CRISIL). However, CRISIL does not envisage the requirement for replacement.
Collection and Payout Account Bank State Bank of India 'CRISIL AAA/CRISIL AA+/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+' Negligible effect. Account bank can be changed without impacting the rating
Credit-cum-liquidity collateral in the form of Fixed deposit State Bank of India 'CRISIL AAA/CRISIL AA+/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+' Significant effect; as the credit opinion on acquirer payouts is linked to long term credit risk profile of the credit enhancement provider.
Acquirer's representative Beacon Trusteeship Limited Adequate track record Negligible effect. Can be replaced at minimal cost
