Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has brought non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) under the ambit of prompt corrective action (PCA) framework.
Under the PCA framework, NBFCs will face restrictions when parameters such as capital adequacy ratio, non-performing assets, and Tier 1 capital will fall below the stipulated levels.
The Banks are already covered under the framework.
This framework will be applicable for all deposit-taking NBFC.
However, it will exclude government NBFCs, housing finance companies, primary dealers and other non-deposit taking NBFCs in the upper, middle, and top layers.
The PCA framework for NBFCs will be implemented from October 1, 2022.
This is done on the basis of the financial position of NBFCs on or after March 31, 2022.
