A credit rating agency (CRA, also called a rating service) is a company that assigns credit ratings, which rate a debtor’s ability to pay back debt by making timely principal and interest payments and the likelihood of default. In this article, we discuss about various credit rating agencies in India.

Role of the Credit Rating Agency

The credit rating agencies rate the creditworthiness of issuers of debt obligations, of debt instruments, and in some cases, of the services of the underlying debt. The debt instruments rated by CRAs include government bonds, corporate bonds, CDs, municipal bonds, preferred stock, and collateralized securities, such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations.

A credit rating is an evaluation of the credit risk of a prospective debtor. Also, predicting their ability to pay back the debt, along with this, makes a forecast of the chances for the debtor defaulting. The credit rating represents an evaluation of a credit rating agency of the qualitative and quantitative information for the prospective debtor, including information provided by the prospective debtor and other non-public information obtained by the credit rating agency’s analysts. Credit risk is the risk of default on a debt that may arise from a borrower failing to make required payments.

Rating grades

The ratings given to securities are mostly represented as AAA, AAB, Ba3, CCC etc up to D. The highest rating AAA(Prime) is given to a borrower who has the highest probability of paying back.
