Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed the rating on Series A pass through certificates (PTCs) issued by 'Innovation Trust III Dec 12' at 'CRISIL AAA (SO)'. Series A PTC holders are entitled to receive timely interest and timely principal. The ratings factor in the credit quality of underlying pool receivables, post-reset credit support available to the PTCs, IBHFL's origination and servicing capabilities, and soundness of the transaction's legal structure. The transaction is backed by housing loan receivables originated by Indiabulls Housing Finance Limited (IBHFL; 'CRISIL AA+/ Positive/CRISIL A1+').
 
On August 01, 2017, CRISIL upgraded its rating on Series A PTCs from CRISIL AA+ (SO) to CRISIL AAA(SO). The transaction was eligible for a credit collateral reset; however, investor consent (required under RBI regulations) was not received. IBHFL has now furnished investor consent for credit collateral reset. Following the reset, the revised cash collateral stands at Rs. 8.14 Cr. (19.2% of outstanding pool principal after June 2017 payouts). Given the healthy collection performance and high amortisation of around 64.3 per cent (as after June 2017 payouts), even after the reset, the credit cover available to the PTCs remains commensurate with the outstanding rating of CRISIL AAA (SO).
 
The cumulative collection ratio for the pool is robust at 99.9 per cent (as after June 2017 payouts). This has led to minimal delinquencies in the pool as reflected in the 30+ delinquencies of 0.16%.  

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Supporting Factors
  • High amortisation and credit support available in the structure
    • Credit collateral of Rs 8.14 crore (19.2% of the outstanding pool principal after June 2017 payouts) provides credit support to Series A PTCs. The PTCs also benefit from scheduled EIS aggregating Rs 8.13 crore (19.2% of outstanding pool principal).
  • Healthy collection efficiency metrics
    • CCR has remained above 99.8% and 3-month average MCR has remained above 98.9%  throughout the tenure of the transaction
Constraining Factors
  • Basis risk in the transaction
    • There is basis risk in the transaction as both pool and investor yields are floating and linked to different benchmark rates
CRISIL has adequately factored these aspects in its rating analysis
 
About the Pool
The pool securitised comprises home loan receivables. As of June 2017 payouts, the pool has high seasoning as evidenced by its weighted average net seasoning of 76.6 months. In terms of concentration, the top 3 states in the pool account for 50.2 per cent of outstanding pool principal. Average ticket size is Rs.17.8 lakhs with moderate loan to value ratio of 62.4% (LTV as of disbursed amount).The pool has weighted average interest rate of 11.5 per cent. Pool has high proportion of salaried individuals (82.5% including self-employed professionals). CRISIL has adequately factored all these aspects in its rating analysis1.

$ Total overdues = (Total overdues plus loss on sale of repossessed assets in the pool expressed as a percentage of initial pool principal)
 
Rating Assumptions
To assess the base case collection shortfalls for the transaction, CRISIL has analysed the portfolio performance of housing loans originated by IBHFL. CRISIL has also analysed the performance of rated securitisation transactions while arriving at base case loss scenario.
 
CRISIL has also factored in pool specific characteristics and overdue composition of the pool to estimate the base case peak shortfalls in the pool in the range of 2 to 4 per cent of pool cash flows.

  • The pool consists of loans at a floating rate of interest linked to prime lending rate of IBHFL whereas the floating investor yield is linked to investor's base rate. At present, there is adequate spread between the pool yield and the yield promised to the investor. However, during the tenure of the transaction, adverse movement in base rate of the investor in relation to IBHFL's prime lending rate may compress the asset side cash flows in relation to the liability side cash flows. CRISIL has assumed various interest rate scenarios to adequately factor in the basis risk of the transaction.
  • CRISIL has assumed a stressed monthly prepayment rate of 1.5 to 2.5 per cent in its analysis.
  • CRISIL does not envisage any risk arising on account of commingling of cash flows since CRISIL's short term rating on the servicer is 'CRISIL A1+'
  • CRISIL has adequately factored in the risks arising on account of counterparties (refer to counterparty details below)
  • CRISIL has run sensitivities based on various shortfall curves (front-ended, back-ended and normal) and has adequately factored the same in its analysis
