This course covers Product Stress Testing Framework, which involves evaluating the resilience of personal loan products under adverse scenarios within the Personal Loan Credit (Salaried/Self Employed) workflow, particularly for accounts requiring structured assessment, clearly defined boundaries, and independent review. It assesses how the product performs under stress conditions such as income shocks, rising defaults, bureau score deterioration, or macroeconomic pressure.
It evaluates key dimensions such as income stability sensitivity, bureau evaluation robustness, risk-based pricing effectiveness, and portfolio performance behaviour under stress, with each representing a distinct assessment dimension that requires independent validation and documented rationale before any credit action is finalized.
It is distinct from portfolio restructuring mechanisms, as it focuses on forward-looking simulation of product performance under stress scenarios—estimating potential losses, delinquency spikes, and margin impact—rather than reactive strategies used to manage already stressed portfolios. Within Pricing, Tenor & Risk–Reward Calibration, the credit analyst executes the assessment, completes documentation, and flags exceptions for manager review within Personal Loan Credit (Salaried/Self Employed) credit files, shaping escalation scope and credit committee priorities.
