Oct 22, 2021 SBR Framework for NBFCs


Regulation The Reserve Bank on October 22, 2021 put in place a scale-based regulatory (SBR)
framework for all Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) based on the inputs received
from public on the discussion paper issued on January 22, 2021. The SBR framework
encompasses different facets of regulation of NBFCs covering capital requirements,
governance standards and prudential regulation. These guidelines shall be effective from
October 1, 2022. The instructions relating to ceiling on IPO funding given vide para 3.1(d) of
the Annex shall come into effect from April 01, 2022.
Oct 22, 2021 Prudential Regulation for AIFIs - 2021
Regulation The Reserve Bank on October 22, 2021 issued draft directions to implement the Basel III
capital framework for the four All India Financial Institutions (AIFIs) namely EXIM Bank,
NABARD, NHB, and SIDBI. These directions consolidate and contain suitable modifications to
the existing instructions on exposure norms, classification, valuation and operation of
investment portfolio norms and resource raising norms issued to these institutions. Further, the
Reserve Bank introduced limits for investments by AIFIs in subsidiaries, financial services
companies and non-financial services companies. Feedback on the draft directions may be
submitted by November 30, 2021.
Oct 22, 2021 Format for Furnishing of Credit Information
Regulation The Reserve Bank on October 22, 2021 decided to make mandatory reporting of relationship
segment (RS) data by credit institutions (CIs) to Credit Information Companies (CICs) under
the uniform credit reporting format, from now on. The Reserve Bank observed that there is a
low level of RS details in the databases of CICs. The reporting requirement may be staggered
to ensure implementation in a non-disruptive manner, as indicated below:
i) The reporting would be mandatory in respect of new loan accounts opened after July 1,
2022.
ii) A phased approach shall be followed for reporting of legacy data as detailed below:
a) The accounts opened during the period July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 have to be updated
by January 1, 2023.
b) The accounts opened in past three years July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021 have to be updated
by July 1, 2023.
c) A timeline for reporting of the remainder legacy data would be reviewed by the Technical
Working Group and the CIs would be advised in due course.
The Reserve Bank advised all CIs to commence reporting the aforesaid information to CICs as
per the prescribed timelines.
Oct 08,2021 Monetary Policy
Monetary Resolution of the MPC
Policy On the basis of an assessment of the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, the
Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at its meeting held on October 8, 2021 decided to keep the
policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 4.0 per cent.
Accordingly, the reverse repo rate under the LAF remains unchanged at 3.35 per cent and the
marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 4.25 per cent.
The MPC also decided to continue with the accommodative stance as long as necessary to
revive and sustain growth on a durable basis and continue to mitigate the impact of COVID-19
on the economy, while ensuring that inflation remains within the target going forward. These
decisions are in consonance with the objective of achieving the medium-term target for
consumer price index (CPI) inflation of 4 per cent within a band of +/- 2 per cent, while
supporting growth.
Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies
I. Liquidity Measures
On Tap Special Long-Term Repo Operations for Small Finance Banks : –
Recognising the persisting uneven impact of the pandemic on small business units, micro and
small industries, and other unorganised sector entities, the Reserve Bank extended the three-
year special long-term repo operations (SLTRO) facility of ₹10,000 crore at the repo rate to
Small Finance Banks (SFBs) for fresh lending of up to ₹10 lakh per borrower till December 31,
299

2021. Further, the facility will now be available on tap to ensure extended support to SFB’s.
II. Payment and Settlement System
a) Digital Payment Solutions in Offline Mode : –
Page

The Reserve Bank proposed to introduce a framework for carrying out retail digital payments
in offline mode across the country as indicated in the Statement on Developmental and

Compiled by A.K.Singh , Chief Manager, Staff Training Centre, Noida


MOBILE No.- 7033595537 : EMAIL- ak.singh2@pnb.co.in
FINGER TIPS FOR PROMOTION TEST 2022

Regulatory Policies dated August 6, 2020. Three pilots were successfully conducted under the
scheme in different parts of the country involving small-value transactions covering a volume
of 2.41 lakh for value ₹1.16 crore..
b) Enhancing Transaction Limit in IMPS to ₹5 lakh : –
The Reserve Bank proposed to increase the per-transaction limit from ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh for
channels other than SMS and IVRS. This will lead to further increase in digital payments and
will provide an additional facility to customers for making digital payments beyond ₹2 lakh. c)
Geo-tagging of Payment System Touch Points : –
To ensure a balanced spread of acceptance infrastructure across the length and breadth of the
country and to ascertain location information of existing payment acceptance infrastructure,
the Reserve bank would lay down a framework for geo-tagging (capturing geographical
coordinates, such as, latitude and longitude) of physical payment acceptance infrastructure,
such as, Point of Sale (PoS) terminals and Quick Response (QR) code used by merchants.
This would complement the Payments Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) framework by
ensuring better deployment of acceptance infrastructure and wider access to digital payments.
d) Regulatory Sandbox : –
With a view to preparing the fintech eco-system, the topic for the Fourth Cohort would be
‘Prevention and Mitigation of Financial Frauds’. The focus would be on using technology to
reduce the lag between the occurrence and detection of frauds, strengthening the fraud
governance structure and minimising response time to frauds. In addition, to ensure
continuous innovation and to enable a proactive response to the rapidly evolving FinTech
scenario, the Reserve Bank proposed to facilitate ‘On Tap’ application for themes of cohorts
earlier closed ‘Retail Payments’, ‘Cross Border Payments’ and ‘MSME Lending’.
III. Debt Management
Review of Ways and Means Advances (WMA) Limits and Relaxation in Overdraft (OD) Facility
for State Governments/UTs : -
Considering the uncertainties related to the ongoing pandemic, the Reserve Bank decided to
continue with the enhanced WMA limits of ₹51,560 crore up to March 31, 2022. Further, in
order to help States/UTs manage their cash flows better, the Reserve Bank decided to
continue with the liberalised measures introduced to deal with the pandemic, such as,
enhancement of maximum number of days of OD in a quarter from 36 to 50 days and the
number of consecutive days of OD from 14 to 21 days, up to March 31, 2022.
IV. Financial Inclusion and Customer Protection
a) Priority Sector Lending - Permitting Banks to On-lend through NBFCs : -
Considering the increased traction observed in delivering credit to the underserved/unserved
segments of the economy, it has been decided to extend this facility up to March 31, 2022. b)
Internal Ombudsman for NBFCs : -
With a view to further strengthen the internal grievance redress mechanism of NBFCs, the
Reserve Bank decided to introduce the Internal Ombudsman Scheme (IOS) for certain
categories of NBFCs which have higher customer interface. The IOS for NBFCs, which will be
on the lines of IOS for banks and non-bank payment system participants, will require select
NBFCs to appoint an Internal Ombudsman at the top of their internal grievance redressed
mechanism to examine customer complaints which are in the nature of deficiency in service
and are partly or wholly rejected by the NBFCs.
Oct 07, 2021 Inclusion in the Second Schedule
Regulation The Reserve Bank on October 7, 2021 included Paytm Payments Bank Limited in the second
schedule of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 vide notification dated September 06, 2021
and published in the Gazette of India (Part III - Section 4) dated October 2-October 8, 2021.
Oct 05, 2021 VFT of Government Securities - Guidelines

The UPI-PayNow linkage will enable users of each of the two fast payment systems to make
instant, low-cost fund transfers on a reciprocal basis without a need to get onboarded onto the
other payment system.
The UPI-PayNow linkage is a significant milestone in the development of infrastructure for
cross-border payments between India and Singapore, and closely aligns with the G20’s
financial inclusion priorities of driving faster, cheaper and more transparent crossborder
payments. The linkage builds upon the earlier efforts of NPCI International Private Limited
(NIPL) and Network for Electronic Transfers (NETS) to foster crossborder interoperability of
payments using cards and QR codes, between India and Singapore and will further anchor
trade, travel and remittance flows between the two countries. This initiative is also in line with
the Reserve Bank’s vision of reviewing corridors and charges for inbound cross-border
remittances outlined in the Payment Systems Vision Document 2019-21.
UPI is India’s mobile based, 'fast payment' system that facilitates customers to make round the
clock payments instantly using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) created by the customer.
This eliminates the risk of sharing bank account details by the remitter. UPI supports both
Person to The Person (P2P) and Person to Merchant (P2M) payments, and enables user to
send or receive money.
PayNow is the fast payment system of Singapore which enables peer-to-peer funds transfer
service, available to retail customers through participating banks and Non-Bank Financial
Institutions (NFIs) in Singapore. It enables users to send and receive instant funds from one
bank or e-wallet account to another in Singapore by using just their mobile number, Singapore

FINGER TIPS FOR PROMOTION TEST 2022

Policy On the basis of an assessment of the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, the
Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) at its meeting held from August 4-6, 2021 decided to keep
the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 4.0 per cent.
Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF remains unchanged at 3.35 per cent and
the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 4.25 per cent. The MPC also
decided to continue with the accommodative stance as long as necessary to revive and
sustain growth on a durable basis and continue to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the
economy, while ensuring that inflation remains within the target going forward.
Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies
I. Liquidity Measures: On Tap TLTRO Scheme – Extension of Deadline Given the nascent
and fragile economic recovery, it was decided to extend the on tap TLTRO scheme further by
a period of three months, that is, till December 31, 2021. The Reserve Bank had announced
the on tap TLTRO scheme on October 9, 2020 for five sectors which was available up to
March 31, 2021 and further extended upto September 30, 2021.
MSF - Extension of Relaxation
The relaxation on the marginal standing facility (MSF) was extended for a further period of
three months upto December 31, 2021. The MSF, which was initially available upto June 30,
2020 was later extended in phases up to March 31, 2021 and again for a further period of six
months till September 30, 2021, providing comfort to banks on their liquidity requirements and

II. Regulatory Measures: LIBOR Transition - Review of Guidelines The Reserve Bank
decided to amend the guidelines related to export credit in foreign currency and restructuring
of derivative contracts in view of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) transition, a
significant event that poses challenges for banks and the financial system.
i) Export Credit in Foreign Currency – Benchmark Rate: In view of the impending
discontinuance of LIBOR as a benchmark rate, the Reserve Bank has permitted banks to
extend export credit using any other widely accepted Alternative Reference Rate in the
currency concerned.
ii) Prudential Norms for Off-balance Sheet Exposures of Banks: Since the impending change
in reference rate from LIBOR is a "force majeure" event, banks are being advised that change
in reference rate from LIBOR / LIBOR-related benchmarks to an Alternative Reference Rate
will not be treated as restructuring.
Deferral of Deadline for Achievement of Financial Parameters

the difficulty it may pose in meeting the operational parameters, the Reserve Bank decided to
defer the target date for meeting the specified thresholds in respect of the above parameters to
October 1, 2022. As regards the parameter Total Outside Liabilities/Adjusted Total Net Worth
(TOL/ATNW), this ratio reflects the revised capital structure (i.e., debt-equity mix) as required
under the implementation conditions for the resolution framework and was expected to be
crystallised upfront as part of the resolution plan. Accordingly, the date for achieving the same
remains unchanged, that is, March 31, 2022.

under section 45 Z B of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, held from August 4 to 6, 2021

contracts that reference LIBOR as a benchmark and instead use any widely accepted

financial contracts that reference LIBOR and the maturity of which is after the announced

by December 31, 2021. In this context, Financial Benchmarks India Pvt Ltd (FBIL) has started
publishing daily adjusted MIFOR rates from June 15, 2021 and modified MIFOR rates from

and resilience of financial institutions and overall financial stability of the economy. In August

covering all deposit taking NBFCs; all non-deposit taking NBFCs (including Core Investment
Companies) with asset size of ₹5,000 crore and above; and primary UCBs with asset size of
₹500 crore and above. The circular intends, inter alia, to provide the essential requirements for
a robust internal audit function, which include sufficient authority, stature, independence,
resources and professional competence, so as to align these requirements in larger
NBFCs/UCBs with those stipulated for SCBs.
Jan 27,2021 Grievance Redress Mechanism in Banks
Consumer The Reserve Bank on January 27, 2021 released a comprehensive framework with a view to
Education and strengthen and improve the efficacy of the grievance redress mechanism of banks. The
Protection framework comprises of
i) enhanced disclosures on complaints to be made by the banks;
ii) recovery of the cost of redress of maintainable complaints from the banks against whom the
number of complaints received in the Offices of Banking Ombudsman (OBOs) are in excess of
their peer group averages; and
iii) Intensive review by RBI of the grievance redress mechanism of banks having persisting
issues in their redress mechanism.
The framework intends to, inter-alia, provide greater insight into the volume and nature of
complaints received by the banks as also the quality and turnaround time of redressal,
promote satisfactory customer outcomes and improved customer confidence, and identify
remedial steps to be taken by the banks having persisting issues in grievance redress
mechanism.
Jan 21,2021 Discussion Paper on Revised Regulatory Framework for NBFCs
Regulation Discussion Paper on Revised Regulatory Framework for NBFCs I. Regulation The Reserve
Bank on January 21, 2021 released the Discussion Paper on Revised Regulatory Framework
for NBFCs- A Scale-Based Approach on its website (www.rbi.org.in) for comments from
NBFCs, market participants and other stakeholders within one month from the released date.
The highlights of the discussion paper are as follows :
The regulatory and supervisory framework of NBFCs shall be based on a four-layered
structure– Base Layer, Middle Layer, Upper Layer and a possible Top Layer. NBFCs in lower
layer will be known as NBFC-Base Layer (NBFC-BL). NBFCs in middle layer will be known as
NBFC-Middle Layer (NBFC-ML) and NBFC in the Upper Layer will be known as NBFC-Upper
Layer (NBFC-UL) and will invite a new regulatory superstructure. In order to identify NBFCs in
the Upper Layer, a range of parameters can be considered; viz., size, leverage,
interconnectedness, substitutability, complexity, nature of activity of the NBFC, among other
things.
Base Layer
The Base Layer will consist of NBFCs currently classified as non-systemically important
NBFCs (NBFC-ND) besides Type I NBFCs, NOFHC NBFC-P2P and NBFC-AA.
The current threshold for systemic importance is ₹500 crore. This threshold needs
recalibration, taking into account increase in general price levels as well as increase in real
GDP since 2014. Accordingly, threshold is proposed to be revised to ₹1000 crore.
Based on increase in prices, real GDP and regulatory judgement, the entry point norms will be
revised from ₹2 crore to ₹20 crore. The extant NPA classification norm of 180 days will be
329

harmonised to 90 days.
The NPA norm of 90 days overdue status would, therefore, not interfere with the business of
the NBFC clientele.

Middle Layer
The Middle Layer shall consist of all non-deposit taking NBFCs classified currently as NBFC-

ND-SI and all deposit taking NBFCs. This layer will exclude NBFCs which have been identified
to be included in the Upper Layer.
The extant credit concentration limits prescribed for NBFCs for their lending and investment
can be merged into a single exposure limit of 25 per cent for single borrower and 40 per cent
for group of borrowers anchored to the NBFC’s Tier 1 capital.
As in banks, NBFCs shall be subject to the requirement of having a Board approved policy on
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).
A uniform tenure of three consecutive years can be made applicable for statutory auditors
(SA) of the NBFC. The SA/firm after completion of continuous audit tenure of three years, shall
not be eligible for re-appointment as SA of the same NBFC for a period of six years.
While there is a limit of ₹10 lakh for banks for IPO financing, there is no such limit for NBFCs.
Taking in to account the unique business model of NBFCs, it is proposed to fix a ceiling of ₹1
crore per individual for any NBFC.
It is suggested that NBFCs with 10 and more branches shall mandatorily be required to adopt
Core Banking Solution.
Upper Layer
The Upper Layer of the scale based regulatory framework shall consist of only those NBFCs
which are specifically identified as systemically significant among NBFCs, based on a set of
parameters. Number for NBFCs which will reside in this layer would be dependent upon the
composite score thrown by the parametric analysis.
It is expected that a total of not more than 25 to 30 NBFCs will occupy this layer. It is felt that
CET 1 could be introduced for NBFC-UL to enhance the quality of regulatory capital. It is
proposed that CET 1 may be prescribed at 9 per cent within Tier I capital.
Top Layer
Top Layer is supposed to remain empty. The layer can get populated in case the Reserve
Bank takes a view that there has been an unsustainable increase in the systemic risk spill-
overs from specific NBFCs in the Upper Layer. NBFCs in this Layer will be subject to higher
capital charge, including Capital Conservation Buffers
Jan 13,2021 Working Group on Digital Lending
Regulation The Reserve Bank on January 13, 2021 set up a Working Group (WG) to study all aspects of
digital lending activities in the regulated financial sector as well as by unregulated players so
that an appropriate regulatory approach can be put in place. The terms of reference for the
WG would be as follows:
Evaluate digital lending activities and assess the penetration and standards of outsourced
digital lending activities in RBI regulated entities;
Identify risks posed by unregulated digital lending to financial stability, regulated entities and
consumers;
Suggest regulatory changes, if any, to promote orderly growth of digital lending; Recommend
measures, if any, for expansion of specific regulatory or statutory perimeter and suggest the
role of various regulatory and government agencies;
Recommend a robust Fair Practices Code for digital lending players, insourced or
outsourced;
Suggest measures for enhanced Consumer Protection; Recommend measures for robust
data governance, data privacy and data security standards for deployment of digital lending
services.
The group has been advised to submit its report within three months.

FINGER TIPS FOR PROMOTION TEST 2022

Financial The Reserve Bank on January 11, 2021 released the 22nd issue of the Financial Stability
Stability Report (FSR), which reflects the collective assessment of the Sub-Committee of the Financial
Stability and Development Council (FSDC) on risks to financial stability and the resilience of
the financial system in the context of contemporaneous issues relating to development and
regulation of the financial sector.
Highlights of FSR:
In the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, policy actions were geared towards restoring
normal functioning and mitigating stress; the focus is now being oriented towards supporting
the recovery and preserving the solvency of businesses and households.
Positive news on vaccine development has underpinned optimism on the outlook, though it is
marred by second wave of the virus including more virulent strains.
Policy measures by the regulators and the government have ensured the smooth functioning
of domestic markets and financial institutions; managing market volatility amidst rising
spillovers has become challenging especially when the movements in certain segments of the
financial markets are not in sync with developments in the real sector.
Bank credit growth has remained subdued, with the moderation being broad-based across
bank groups.
Performance parameters of banks have improved significantly, aided by regulatory
dispensations extended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The capital to risk-weighted
assets ratio (CRAR) of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) improved to 15.8 per cent in
September 2020 from 14.7 per cent in March 2020, while their gross non-performing asset
(GNPA) ratio declined to 7.5 per cent from 8.4 per cent, and the provision coverage ratio
(PCR) improved to 72.4 per cent from 66.2 per cent over this period.
Macro stress tests incorporating the first advance estimates of gross domestic product
(GDP) for 2020-21 released on January 7, 2021 indicate that the GNPA ratio of all SCBs may
increase from 7.5 per cent in September 2020 to 13.5 per cent by September 2021 under the
baseline scenario; the ratio may escalate to 14.8 per cent under a severe stress scenario. This
highlights the need for proactive building up of adequate capital to withstand possible asset
quality deterioration.
Network analysis reveals that total bilateral exposures among entities in the financial system
increased marginally during the quarter-ended September 2020.
Jan 07,2021 RBIA – Strengthening Governance
Supervision In order to bring uniformity in approach followed by the banks, as also to align the expectations
on internal audit function with the best practices, the Reserve Bank on January 07, 2021
advised banks as under:
Authority, Stature and Independence - The internal audit function must have sufficient
authority, stature, independence and resources within the bank, thereby enabling internal
auditors to carry out their assignments with objectivity.
Competence - Requisite professional competence, knowledge and experience of each
internal auditor is essential for the effectiveness of the bank's internal audit function.
Staff Rotation - Except for the entities where the internal audit function is a specialised
function and managed by career internal auditors, the Board should prescribe a minimum
period of service for staff in the Internal Audit function.
Tenor for appointment of Head of Internal Audit (HIA) - Except for the entities where the
internal audit function is a specialised function and managed by career internal auditors, the
HIA shall be appointed for a reasonably long period, preferably for a minimum of three years.
Reporting Line - The HIA shall directly report to either the Audit Committee of the Board
(ACB) / MD and CEO or Whole Time Director (WTD).
Remuneration - The independence and objectivity of the internal audit function could be
undermined if the remuneration of internal audit staff is linked to the financial performance of
the business lines for which they exercise audit responsibilities.
The internal audit function shall not be outsourced. However, where required, experts,
including former employees, could be hired on contractual basis subject to the ACB being
assured that such expertise does not exist within the audit function of the bank.

reinforce supervisory skills among its regulatory and supervisory staff both at entry level and
on a continuous basis. CoS would be headed by former Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank
, Shri N.S. Viswanathan. The CoS will have a full-time Director supported by an Academic
Advisory Council (AAC). Dr. Rabi Narayan Mishra, former Executive Director, Reserve Bank
has been appointed as the Director of CoS. The AAC will identify areas where skill building/up-
skilling are required, plan and develop curricula of all programmes, benchmark the
programmes with international standards best practices, develop appropriate teaching
methods, etc.
Jan 05,2021 Operationalisation of PIDF Scheme
Payment and The Reserve Bank has constituted an Advisory Council (AC) under the Chairmanship of the
Settlement Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India, for managing the Payments Infrastructure
Systems Development Fund (PIDF). PIDF will be operational for a period of three years from January
01, 2021 and may be extended for two more years depending upon the progress. PIDF is
intended to subsidise deployment of payment acceptance infrastructure in Tier-3 to Tier-6
centres with special focus on North-Eastern States of the country. It envisages creating 30
lakh new touch points every year for digital payments. All stakeholders were requested to co-
operate in this endeavour by – a) making their contributions to PIDF within the timelines, and
b) deploying acceptance infrastructure and seeking reimbursement from PIDF
Jan 05,2021 Introduction of LEI
Payment and The Reserve Bank on January 05, 2021 decided to introduce the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)
Settlement system for all payment transactions of value ₹50 crore and above undertaken by entities (non-
Systems individuals) using Reserve Bank-run Centralised Payment Systems, viz., Real Time Gross
Settlement (RTGS) and National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT). In preparation for the
wider introduction of LEI across all payment transactions, member banks should:
• advise entities who undertake large value transactions (₹50 crore and above) to obtain
LEI in time, if they do not already have one;
• include remitter and beneficiary LEI information in RTGS and NEFT payment
messages.
• maintain records of all transactions of ₹50 crore and above through RTGS and / or
NEFT.
Entities can obtain LEI from any of the Local Operating Units (LOUs) accredited by the Global
Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), the body tasked to support the implementation and
use of LEI.
Jan 01,2021 RBI-Digital Payments Index
Payment and The Reserve Bank has constructed a composite Digital Payments Index (DPI) to capture the
Settlement extent of digitisation of payments across the country. The RBI-DPI comprises of five broad
Systems parameters that enable measurement of deepening and penetration of digital payments in the
country over different time periods. These parameters are – i) Payment Enablers (weight 25
per cent), ii) Payment Infrastructure – Demand-side factors (10 per cent), iii) Payment
Infrastructure – Supply-side factors (15 per cent), iv) Payment Performance (45 per cent) and
v) Consumer Centricity (5 per cent). Each of these parameters have subparameters which, in
turn, consist of various measurable indicators.
