Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has upgraded its ratings on the Series A1 pass-through certificates (PTCs) and Series A2 PTCs issued by Vivriti Naboo 002 2018 to 'CRISIL AA (SO)' and 'CRISIL AA- (SO)', respectively, from 'CRISIL A (SO)' and 'CRISIL A- (SO)', respectively. The PTCs are backed by microfinance loan receivables originated by Satin Creditcare Network Ltd (Satin; 'CRISIL A1'). The rating action is driven by the improved credit cover available to the PTC holders on account of high amortisation.
 
The transaction is supported by credit collateral of Rs 5.31 crore in the form of fixed deposit. The outstanding credit collateral covers 80.4% of future payouts. As a result, the threshold collection ratio (TCR) stands at 10.3% after the April 2019 payouts.
 
13 months post securitisation, The 3-month average monthly collection ratio of the pool was 98.1%. The cumulative collection ratio (CCR) of the pool was 99.2% after the April 2019 payouts.
 
The ratings factor in the strength of the payment mechanism for the transaction and the soundness of the legal structure. The transaction has a 'par' structure. Series A1 PTCs are senior, and will have the first priority right on the trust property. These PTCs are entitled to monthly interest. Principal and interest payments for Series A2 PTCs are fully subordinated to payouts for Series A1 PTCs. The transaction envisages an ultimate payment structure for principal payouts for both Series A1 and Series A2 PTCs. On maturity of Series A1 PTCs, Series A2 PTCs are entitled to monthly interest.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Supporting Factors
  • High amortisation and credit support available in the structure
    • 13 months post securitisation, The pool is amortised by 86.5% which has led to an increase in credit cover available to future investor payouts. Cedit collateral of Rs 5.31 crore provides sufficient cushion for servicing investor payouts (80.4% of future payouts is covered by the credit collateral).
  • Low threshold collection ratio
    • The minimum collection ratio to service future investor payouts stands at 10.3%.
Constraining Factors
  • Ability to recover from overdue contracts
    • The microfinance industry remains susceptible to risks arising from socio-political issues and regulatory changes. Such events have the ability to disrupt loan repayment by the underlying borrowers.
    • The unsecured nature of microfinance loans and the inherent modest credit risk profile of the borrowers also make recovery from overdues more challenging.
These aspects have been factored by CRISIL in its rating analysis.

Liquidity Position
The credit-cum-liquidity enhancement available in the transaction is Rs 5.31 crore, which is in the form of a fixed deposit with DCB Bank Ltd. The credit enhancement fully covers interest payouts for Series A1 and Series A2 PTCs, which are promised on a monthly basis.

Rating assumptions

To assess the base case shortfalls for the transaction, CRISIL has analysed the moving portfolio delinquency information on portfolio for performance from May 2008 to March 2019.
 
60+ days past due (dpd) and 0+ dpd on the portfolio stood at 3.1% and 3.4%, respectively, as of March 2019. Due to demonetisation, the 60+ dpd and 0+ dpd peaks observed were 22.1% and 47.5%, respectively, but there have been recoveries from the peaks observed.
 
Based on these aspects, CRISIL has estimated base case shortfalls in the pool at 4.0-6.0% of cash flow. 

  • CRISIL has assumed a stressed monthly prepayment rate of 0.5-1.0% in its analysis.
  • 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.

About the Originator
Satin is a leading non-banking financial company-microfinance institution (NBFC-MFI) in India with a strong presence in the underpenetrated regions of north and central India. It started operations in 1990 as a provider of individual and small business loans and savings services to urban shopkeepers. It got registered as an NBFC with the Reserve Bank of India in 1998 and converted into an NBFC-MFI in November 2013.

The company also offer loans to individual businesses and to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), product loans for financing purchase of solar lamps, and loans for development of water connection and sanitation facilities. In 2017, Satin incorporated a wholly owned housing financial subsidiary to diversify into the housing finance segment.

Its operations are spread across 18 states and union territories in India, with a focus on rural and semi-urban areas. Most of the regions in which the company operates have moderate or low microfinance penetration.
