This course covers Subsidy Dependency Risk, which involves assessing the extent to which borrower viability, affordability, and repayment capacity depend on government subsidies or support schemes, ensuring a clear understanding of policy-linked vulnerabilities within Crop & Seasonal Agri Credit. It applies to accounts requiring structured assessment, clear boundary definition, and independent review before any credit decision is finalized.
It evaluates key dimensions such as affordability, performance outcomes, subsidies, and insurance arrangements affecting viability and outcomes, with each requiring independent validation and documented rationale to ensure a comprehensive and reliable assessment of subsidy dependence.
It is distinct from portfolio diversification strategy, as it focuses on structured identification of subsidy-related risks and breach response at the exposure level, rather than broader portfolio allocation decisions—each governed by separate evidence standards, ownership, and approval authority.
Within Schemes, Subsidy & Insurance Risk, the credit manager validates team-level analysis, approves case recommendations, and manages segment-level exposure within Crop & Seasonal Agri Credit, directly influencing escalation scope and credit committee prioritization.
