The Reserve Bank of India has initiated 'prompt corrective action' (PCA) against Allahabad Bank over its high bad loans.
High net non-performing assets (NPA), insufficient CET1 Capital and a negative return on assets (ROA) for two years in a row have prompted the action.
The objective of the PCA framework is to facilitate the banks to take corrective measures including those prescribed by the RBI, in a timely manner, in order to restore the banks’ financial health.
