Provisioning & IRACP Agent AI

Resume
What this agent does
The Provisioning & IRACP Agent AI computes the NPA classification and provisioning requirements for LendingIQ's loan portfolio under RBI's Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning (IRACP) norms — identifying which accounts have crossed DPD thresholds that trigger classification, calculating the required provision for each classified account, and producing the IRACP compliance report for the board and RBI submission. It is the computation engine for the provisioning process; the authorised official is the accounting decision-maker.
Primary functions
NPA Classification
Month-end and on DPD event triggerINVOKED WHEN: month-end batch runs or CBS flags an account crossing a DPD threshold requiring classification review
- Reads the CBS DPD position for every active loan and applies the IRACP classification rules: accounts at 90 DPD or more are classified Sub-Standard; accounts that have remained Sub-Standard for 12 months are classified Doubtful; accounts that have remained Doubtful for prescribed periods or where the recovery prospect is remote are classified Loss. Each classification is based on the DPD count alone — the IRACP rules are mechanical, not judgment-based.
- Checks for upgrade eligibility: an account that was classified as NPA but has since regularised (all overdue amounts paid, account performing for at least the prescribed regularisation period under IRACP) is eligible for upgrade back to Standard. The agent identifies upgrade-eligible accounts and flags them for the authorised official's review — upgrading an NPA account is an equally regulated act as classifying one.
- Produces the classification schedule — every account's current classification, the DPD basis for classification, and the change from the prior period's classification (new NPA, upgrade, no change). The schedule is the authorised official's review document before sign-off.
Provision Calculation
Per classification — on month-end runINVOKED WHEN: NPA classification schedule is finalised and provisioning requirements need to be computed
- Applies the IRACP provisioning rates to each classified account: 15% for Sub-Standard (unsecured) / 15% for Sub-Standard (secured, reducing to nil for the secured portion where the security is current and adequately valued), 25% for Doubtful I (first year), 40% for Doubtful II (second year), 100% for Doubtful III and beyond, and 100% for Loss accounts. The rates are mechanical applications of the IRACP master circular — the agent does not apply judgment on provisioning adequacy.
- For secured accounts, reads the current security valuation from the security valuation store and computes the net unsecured exposure (outstanding balance minus current security value) — because the IRACP provisioning rate applies to the unsecured portion, and the provisioning requirement for a secured NPA with adequate collateral is materially lower than for an unsecured one.
- Computes the aggregate provisioning requirement and compares it to the current provisioning balance on the general ledger — identifying the provision shortfall or surplus. Where the required provision exceeds the current provision, flags the shortfall for the CFO to authorise a GL provisioning entry.
IRACP Compliance Report
Quarterly for board + Regulatory submissionINVOKED WHEN: quarterly board compliance reporting cycle or RBI regulatory submission is due
- Produces the formal IRACP compliance report: NPA ratios (Gross NPA, Net NPA) by portfolio segment and product, movement in NPA during the period (fresh NPAs, upgrades, write-offs, recoveries), provisioning coverage ratio, and a compliance note confirming that classification and provisioning have been applied in accordance with the IRACP master circular.
- Tracks changes in the IRACP master circular through the RBI regulatory corpus — if RBI amends provisioning rates or classification criteria, the agent flags the change and updates the computation methodology before the next month-end run. IRACP compliance is only as current as the regulatory corpus.

- Use case #0001How Provisioning AI classifies accounts under RBI IRACP normsThe RBI's Income Recognition, Asset Classification, and Provisioning (IRACP) norms do not allow discretion about when an account becomes a Non-Performing Asset. An account where interest or principal is overdue for more than 90 days is an NPA. Not approximately 90 days, not by the end of the month — 90 days from the date the overdue first arose. The Provisioning AI counts those days for every account in the portfolio, every day, and reclassifies accounts the moment the threshold is crossed.Read article →
- Use case #0002Automated provisioning calculations: accuracy and audit trailA provisioning calculation that is correct but undocumented is not auditable. A provisioning calculation that is documented but not traceable to the source data is not defensible. The Provisioning AI computes the required provision for every NPA account — following the IRACP rates for the regulatory provision and the Ind AS 109 expected credit loss (ECL) model for the accounting provision — and generates a full audit trail linking every provision figure to the classification, the outstanding balance, the security value, and the DPD count that determined it.Read article →
- Use case #0003IRACP compliance reporting: what Provisioning AI files automaticallyThe RBI requires NBFCs to submit a range of periodic returns covering asset quality, provisioning, and NPA movements. Each return has a prescribed format, a filing deadline, and a consequence for late or inaccurate submission. The Provisioning AI generates every IRACP-related regulatory filing automatically from the classification and provisioning data it maintains daily — no manual data extraction, no spreadsheet assembly, no last-minute data reconciliation before the deadline.Read article →
