NHB guarantee for securitised debt

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, MARCH 30. The National Housing Bank (NHB), the wholly-owned housing finance affiliate of the Reserve Bank of India, has decided to extend guarantee to the principal amount and interest in respect of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).

The securities, launched here on Tuesday, are for housing loans totalling Rs. 99.34 crores provided by BHW Birla Home Finance Ltd. (BBHFL), the India subsidiary of BHW Holdings AG of Germany. The NHB, however, is to stand guarantee for only Rs 94.28 crores as the subordinate issue of Rs 5.06 crores is to be bought back by BBHFL.

"So far, RMBS involved credit enhancement by the originator. We thought it fit to supplement credit enhancement by our bank,'' the NHB Chairman and Managing Director, P.K. Gupta, said at the launch function.
