sale values of mortgaged/pledged assets held as security against classified portfolio of advances of Bolan Bank Limited as
at 31 December 2000. The forced sale values amounting to Rs. 660.447 million were deducted from the principal outstanding
and such forced sale values were determined by independent professional valuers. The above forced sale valuations
were carried out between 1 January 1999 and 30 September 2000.
The BPRD circular number 09 as described above required that valuations shall be carried out by an independent professional
valuer who should be listed on the panel of valuers maintained by Pakistan Banks Association (PBA) for this purpose.
The PBA in accordance with the above requirement communicated the list of panel of valuers on 14 October 2000,
which was subsequently amended on 30 November 2000 and 17 January 2001.
The forced sale valuations amounting to Rs. 523.88 million, and deducted from the outstanding classified principal amount
for determination of provisioning requirements, were carried out by professional valuers who were not included in the
panel of valuers maintained by PBA. The bank has written to State Bank of Pakistan seeking one time exemption from
requirement to have valuations done by valuers on the panel of valuers maintained by PBA as all of the valuations were
carried out before the communication by PBA of its panel of valuers on 14 October 2000.
