Fuzzy decision making approach can be effectively utilized to tackle such problem of where the information have not been stated precisely.<br />Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 1.

Age is obviously a key factor for each customer because the bank usually prefers young –aged persons. The sanction of Loan amount depends solely on the Annual Income of the respective customers. Before providing the loan to the customers the bank must consider whether the customer availing the loan will able to repay the loan amount on time. Usually the customers who applies for loans from the banks falls into one of the four classes –Very good (repays the loan on specified time), Good (repays the loan on time), Ugly (repays the loan late), Bad (does not repays the loan).The bank, of course, wants all its customers to be good. In order to normally screens each customer for their potential to repay the loan. Each customer is expected to fill detailed forms about themselves, their family, their existing property and occupation. Sometimes, the Banks provides Cash back reward to the customers for their timely repayment of EMI’s of their Captioned loan during a specific period of time. Similarly other vital factors which are taken into account by the bank are Monthly Transaction, Account Balance and Security Deposits. Then, the bank recommends the basic requirements of all factors that are taken into consideration for acceptance of Loans which are shown in Table1.<br />The following Fuzzy terms have been considered for <br />Age: 1) Old 2) Middle-Aged 3) Young 4) Very Young<br />The following terms have been considered for <br />Annual Income: 1) High 2) Average 3) Low 4) Poor<br />For Loan Repayment: 1) Very Good 2) Good 3) Ugly 4) Bad<br />For Monthly Transactions: 1) Very Frequent 2) Frequent 3) Average 4) Less Frequent<br />For Account Balance: 1) More than Sufficient 2) Sufficient 3) Less than Sufficient 4) Insufficient<br />For Security Deposits: 1) High 2) Average 3) Low 4) Poor<br />Fuzzy subset Representation for the Prescribed Requirements Factors of the customers:<br />Age: 1/0.2 + 2/0.8 + 3/1.0 + 4/0.6<br />Annual Income: 1/1.0 + 2/0.6 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2<br />Loan Repay: 1/1.0 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.2 + 4/0.0<br />Monthly Transaction: 1/1.0 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.2<br />Account Balance: 1/1.0 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2<br />Security Deposits: 1/1.0 + 2/0.6 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2<br />The Fuzzy subset representation for the various deciding Factors:<br />AgeOld1/1.0 + 2/0.6 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2Middle-Aged1/0.8 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.4Young1/0.2 + 2/0.6 + 3/1.0 + 4/0.8Very Young1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/0.6 + 4/1.0Annual Income & Security DepositsHigh1/1.0 + 2/0.6 + 3/0.2 + 4/0.0Average1/0.8 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2Low1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/1.0 + 4/0.6Poor1/0.0 + 2/0.2 + 3/0.6 + 4/1.0Loan RepayVery Good1/1.0 + 2/0.8 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2Good1/0.8 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.2Ugly1/0.4 + 2/0.6 + 3/1.0 + 4/0.8Bad1/0.0 + 2/0.2 + 3/0.6 + 4/1.0Monthly TransactionVery Frequent1/1.0 + 2/0.8 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2Frequent1/0.8 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.2Average1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/1.0 + 4/0.6Less Frequent1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/0.6 + 4/1.0Account BalanceMore than Sufficient1/1.0 + 2/0.8 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2Sufficient1/0.8 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.2Less than Sufficient1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/1.0 + 4/0.6Insufficient1/0.0 + 2/0.2 + 3/0.6 + 4/1.0<br />FUZZY DISTANCE MEASURE<br />The requirement set of Loan factor for the customers applied for Loan and the management authorities’ opinion about each customer have been stated linguistically. The Fuzzy Hamming distance between the prescribed requirement set and the management’s opinion set for each customer with respect to each factors has been estimated. Let us consider the case, four customers having their Savings Account in any particular Bank applied for loan in a particular week. The Fuzzy opinion matrix shows the fuzzy opinion about all the four customers applied for loan in view of four management authorities with respect to the loan factor Monthly Transaction has been described below:<br />C1C2C3C4<br />M1VFAVFLF<br />M2AFVFLF<br />M3FFFA<br />M4FAFA<br />[Fuzzy Opinion Matrix]<br />VF -> Very Frequent, F -> Frequent, A -> Average, LF -> Less Frequent<br />And M1, M2, M3, M4 are the management authorities’ opinion of the respective customers C1, C2, C3, C4 who have applied for a loan to the bank.<br />The Fuzzy subset representation of these Linguistic terms has already been stated. The overall opinion about each customer can be obtained by taking the intersection between the management’s opinions for that particular customer. The overall opinion of management with respect to loan factor Monthly Transaction is as follows:<br />C01 = 1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2<br />C02 = 1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.2<br />C03 = 1/0.8 + 2/0.8 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2<br />C04 = 1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.6<br />The Fuzzy Decision set regarding Monthly Transaction is obtained by using Hurwicz rule,<br />C0Hur = α CHi + (1-α) CLi<br />Where CHi are the highest grade & CLi are the lowest grade for all the respective customers applied for loan and α is the optimism-pessimism index and here we have taken α = 0.8.<br /> CHi = 1/0.8 + 2/0.8 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.6<br />CLi = 1/0.2 + 2/0.4 + 3/0.4 + 4/0.2<br />Applying the values of CHi & CLi in the above stated equation, we get,<br />FMT = 1/0.68 + 2/0.72 + 3/0.56 + 4/0.52<br />The prescribed Loan Factor for the Monthly Transaction:<br />R= 1/1.0 + 2/1.0 + 3/0.6 + 4/0.2<br />The Fuzzy Hamming Distance between the above two sets is given by:<br />λFMT,R= i=14| μMTxi-μR xi | = 0.96<br />If the Fuzzy opinion set is as close as to the prescribed requirement set, the Hamming distance will be very less.<br />Similarly, the Hurwicz decision set based on,<br />Age:<br />FA = 1/0.68 + 2/0.56 + 3/0.56 + 4/0.68<br />λ(FA, R) = 1.24<br />Annual Income & Security Deposits:<br />FAS = 1/0.64 + 2/0.52 + 3/0.52 + 4/0.48<br />λ(FAS, R) = 0.84<br />Loan Repay:<br />FLR = 1/0.64 + 2/0.68 + 3/0.56 + 4/0.68<br />λ(FLR, R) = 1.72<br />Account Balance:<br />FAB = 1/0.64 + 2/0.68 + 3/0.56 + 4/0.52<br />λ(FAB, R) = 1.16<br />The overall fuzzy decision set has been estimated as follows:<br />F = ν (FMT, FA , FAS , FLR , FAB )<br />= 1/0.68 + 2/0.72 + 3/0.56 + 4/0.68<br />From the above decision set, Customer C2 has the highest grade of membership. It is observed that Customer C2 has exactly fit into the prescribed requirement set for availing the loan as recommended by the Bank and hence may be selected as the most desired customer for availing the Loan.<br />A Technique for Loan Evaluator of any Bank in fuzzy environment has been presented in this paper. The various Loan factors and the management’s opinion about the respective Customers applied for Loan are considered as fuzzy variables. A fuzzy decision set has been formulated which indicates the relative merits of all customers from which a customer with highest grade of merit has been selected. Hurwicz rule has been adopted to derive the fuzzy decision set.

Fuzzy Logic
1. The document proposes a fuzzy logic approach for evaluating loan applications in banks. It considers various factors like age, income, repayment history, account balance, etc. as fuzzy variables. 2. Management's assessment of applicants on these factors are represented as fuzzy subsets. An overall fuzzy decision set is obtained using Hurwicz's rule to identify the most suitable applicant. 3. The technique helps banks select the applicant that best fits prescribed requirements. It can also be used to verify eligibility when new customers apply for loans.
