RBI has issued a prompt corrective action (PCA) framework for primary (urban) co-operative banks.
It aims to giving more focus on larger UCBs that require more intensive monitoring by optimal utilisation of supervisory resources.
The PCA framework will replace the supervisory action framework (SAF) which was established as an early intervention tool to bring improvements in weak UCBs.
The PCA framework has been made applicable to all UCBs in Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 categories, except UCBs under All Inclusive Directions (AID).
