The Reserve Bank of India has issued a new ‘prudential framework for resolution of stressed assets.
Supreme court had struck down its earlier ‘revised framework for resolution of stressed assets’.
The new framework gives 30 days for lenders to review the borrower account on default.
Banks have to draw a resolution plan (RP) for implementation within 180 days of the first default.
The new circular is also applicable to small finance banks and systemically important non-deposit taking non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and deposit-taking NBFCs.
