This course explains Early Warning Indicators (EWS) for LAS Portfolios and how lenders identify signals that indicate elevated margin stress or potential liquidation risk in Loan Against Shares (LAS) books. It covers key EWS categories, severity levels, trigger thresholds, and the response timelines used to escalate and manage emerging risk. The course also clarifies how EWS differs from watch-list monitoring and SMA classification by enabling proactive intervention before repayment stress or NPA risk materialises.
