Basel norms were introduced by Basel Committee to have a standardized prudential norms for capital adequacy
The prudential norms defined components of capital, assigned risk weights to different types of assets and stipulated the minimum Capital Adequacy to aggregate Risk weighted Assets (CRAR)
The minimum standard of capital to be kept with commercial banks was fixed 8% of RWA under Basel 1 & Basel 2 norms which was increased to 9% of RWA under Basel 3
Capital Adequacy Ratio-
Capital adequacy ratio is the ratio of the banks capital to its risk-weighted assets
The capital adequacy of banks is assessed based on the following three aspect –
Composition of capital
Composition of risk-weighted assets
Assigning risk-weights
Basel 1
Came into effect in the year 1988
Focused majorly on credit risk
Minimum capital requirement was set 8% to be achieved by the end of 1992 and it applied to all G10 countries
However later on several non-G10 countries also adopted the same
Objectives of Basel 1 accord were : To strengthen the soundness and stability of banking system and to have high degree of consistency across the banks
Basel 2
Came into effect in the year 2006
Focused on all sort of credit risk, market risk and operational risk
Minimum capital requirement set remained same as in Basel 1 at 8%
Provided for better risk management practices and advised bank on using internal systems for assessment of risks
Supervisors were advised to take suitable approaches for efficiency of bank
Basel 3
Banks are required to maintain a minimum of Pillar 1 Capital to Risk weighted Assets Ratio of 9% on a continuous basis.
For assessment of capital charge for credit risk banks have to mandatory obtain credit rating from credit rating agencies approved by RBI.

Capital adequacy measures a bank's capital reserves relative to its risk-weighted assets and activities. It aims to ensure banks can absorb reasonable losses without becoming insolvent. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, formed in 1974 under the Bank for International Settlements, establishes capital adequacy standards known as the Basel Accords. Basel I covered only credit risk while Basel II and III expanded coverage of risks and strengthened requirements on capital, liquidity and leverage to promote banking sector and financial stability.
Basel II is an international standard that aims to strengthen the regulation, supervision and risk management within the banking sector. It improves upon Basel I by making capital requirements more risk sensitive and aligning regulatory capital more closely with underlying bank risks. Basel II consists of three pillars that cover minimum capital requirements, supervisory review, and market discipline. Implementation of Basel II varies across countries and regulators but aims to modernize capital adequacy standards to be more comprehensive and risk sensitive.
Basel I, II, and III are agreements that established regulatory standards for bank capital adequacy. Basel I, established in 1988, focused on credit risk and set minimum capital requirements of 8% of risk-weighted assets. Basel II, released in 2004, included three pillars: Pillar I established a revised minimum capital framework; Pillar II covered supervisory review; and Pillar III addressed market discipline through disclosure. It recommended a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% and prescribed the minimum capital adequacy ratio of 9% for India. Basel III, finalized in 2017, strengthened bank capital requirements in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
The document discusses the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and its evolution over time from Basel I, II, and III accords. CAR is a ratio used by regulators to assess a bank's capital adequacy by comparing its capital to risk-weighted assets. The Basel accords established international standards for CAR and defined components like Tier 1 capital, Tier 2 capital, and risk weighting of assets. Basel III aimed to strengthen banks' ability to absorb shocks by improving capital quality and introducing liquidity ratios and leverage ratios.
The document discusses the history and evolution of working capital finance regulation in India. Key points include: [1] The Tandon Committee of 1974 established norms for determining working capital needs and permissible bank financing levels. [2] Subsequent committees like Chore and Dahejia made additional recommendations around monitoring borrowers and assessing needs based on operations rather than just security. [3] Current practice involves assessing needs through projected balance sheets, cash budgets or turnover, with an emphasis on loan systems over cash credits for meeting needs.
1) Silicon Valley Bank grew to become the 16th largest bank in the US catering to technology companies, but a series of ill-fated investment decisions led to its collapse. The bank invested heavily in long-dated bonds that declined in value as interest rates rose rapidly.
2) As the tech industry slowed, SVB customers started withdrawing deposits, requiring the bank to sell bonds at a loss. Within 48 hours, losses led to insolvency and regulators seized the bank's assets.
3) The collapse could significantly impact tech and startup industries by reducing available financing, as well as investors and high-net-worth individuals who could lose assets. It may also influence the Federal Reserve to slow interest rate

RBI Governor - Raghuram G Rajan on the importance if Basel III regulations
https://youtu.be/EN27ZRe_28A
The document outlines the Reserve Bank of India's revised regulatory framework for non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) called Scale Based Regulation (SBR). Under SBR, NBFCs will be categorized into four layers - base, middle, upper, and top - based on parameters like size and interconnectedness. Regulation will increase progressively across the layers, with the base layer facing the least regulation and the top layer the most stringent. Key aspects of the new framework include increased net owned funds requirements, tighter prudential norms, expanded disclosures, and governance guidelines for middle and upper layer NBFCs. A scoring methodology is also defined to identify NBFCs that will fall in the upper layer.
Basel III is a global regulatory framework that aims to strengthen bank capital requirements and introduces new regulations on bank liquidity and leverage. It seeks to raise the quality of capital held by banks and strengthen their ability to absorb losses. The document outlines the key components of Basel III, including higher capital requirements, a new leverage ratio, and liquidity standards. It also discusses the potential macroeconomic impact and advantages of Basel III, as well as country-level implementations like in the US.
The Basel Committee was established in 1974 by central bank governors in response to bank failures caused by foreign exchange losses. It aims to improve banking supervision and financial stability. Basel I established the first capital adequacy framework in 1988, requiring an 8% capital ratio. Basel II, released in 2004, built on this with 3 pillars addressing minimum capital requirements, supervisory review, and market discipline. Basel III, finalized in 2017 after the financial crisis, further strengthened regulations around capital, leverage, and liquidity to promote a more resilient banking system.
This presentation provides a basic overview of the Basel agreements. It summarizes the objectives and key aspects of Basel I, which was adopted in 1988, and Basel II, adopted in 2006. Basel I established international standards for capital adequacy and risk management but had shortcomings in risk sensitivity. Basel II aimed to create a more comprehensive framework for credit, market and operational risk and encourage rigorous bank supervision and risk management. The presentation concludes by noting the adoption of Basel II in the EU and flags the subprime crisis as a point for further thinking.
Tier 1, 2 and 3 Capital based on the Basel II accordNahid Anjum
The document discusses the three tiers of capital requirements under the Basel II accord:
Tier 1 capital consists of core equity and reserves, and must comprise at least 50% of a bank's total capital base. Tier 2, or supplementary capital, includes undisclosed reserves, revaluation reserves, general provisions, and various subordinated debt instruments. Tier 3 capital is short-term subordinated debt limited to 250% of Tier 1 capital required to support market risks, with a minimum of 281⁄2% of market risks supported by Tier 1 capital.
Basel III and its impact on the Indian banking sector. Basel I, II, and III are international banking accord that set capital requirements for banks to reduce risks. Basel III strengthens bank capital and liquidity rules following the 2008 crisis. For India, Basel III means banks must increase capital, manage liquidity risks better, and improve transparency. This will impact bank profitability, capital raising, and consolidation in the Indian banking system.
The document summarizes the history and key aspects of Basel Accords, which are international standards for bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and liquidity risk. It outlines regulations pre-1988, Basel I in 1988, amendments in 1996 and proposed Basel II in 1999. Basel I first introduced capital requirements. Basel II in 2007 improved this with three pillars for minimum capital, supervision, and disclosure. It introduced risk-weighted capital requirements and recognized credit risk mitigants. However, both accords were criticized for issues like pro-cyclicality and regulatory arbitrage.
The document provides an overview of the key components of a bank's balance sheet, including assets and liabilities. It discusses the various line items under assets (such as cash, investments, advances) and liabilities (such as capital, reserves, deposits, borrowings). It also summarizes the components of a bank's profit and loss statement and provides details on liquidity management, asset liability management and interest rate risk management. The document is intended as a presentation on managing a bank's assets, liabilities, liquidity and interest rate risk.
The document discusses the LIBOR scandal where it was discovered that several major banks had manipulated the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for financial gain between 2005-2009. LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate used globally in contracts worth trillions of dollars. The scandal arose when it was found that banks had falsely inflated or deflated their LIBOR submissions to profit off trades or give the impression they were more creditworthy. This manipulation impacted homeowners, municipalities, and other entities. Several banks including Barclays were fined billions and lawsuits were filed against many of the banks involved totaling over $40 billion. The scandal led to calls for reforming how LIBOR is set and regulated.
Basel III is a global regulatory framework that aims to strengthen bank capital requirements and introduces new regulatory requirements on bank liquidity and leverage. The document outlines the key elements of Basel III including the three pillars of capital adequacy, supervisory review, and market discipline. It discusses the challenges Indian banks may face in implementing the new capital, leverage, and liquidity requirements and how this may impact their profitability. The higher capital requirements under Basel III will be difficult for Indian banks, especially public sector banks, to meet and may require raising over 1.5 trillion rupees in additional capital.
The document discusses the Libor rate manipulation scandal that occurred from 2005-2009. It describes how Barclays and other banks artificially inflated or deflated their Libor submissions to profit from trades or appear more creditworthy. This manipulation impacted global financial markets and cost governments billions. The scandal was not properly addressed by regulators despite early awareness of inaccurate submissions. Barclays was ultimately fined over $500 million for its role in the scandal in 2012.
The document discusses the Narasimham Committee reports from 1991 and 1998 and their recommendations regarding the banking sector in India. Some of the key recommendations included establishing asset reconstruction companies to take bad debts off banks' balance sheets, increasing banks' capital adequacy ratios, reducing statutory liquidity ratios over time, and granting more autonomy to public sector banks. The document also provides details on two of the early asset reconstruction companies established in India - ARCIL and ACE - including their ownership structures.
A Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) is a company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 or 1956 carrying on the business listed under Section 45 I (c ) of the RBI Act, 1934, i.e.

Cooperative banks are voluntary associations owned and operated by their members. They are established to provide self-help and mutual assistance to their members. In India, cooperative banks are registered under state cooperative societies acts and regulated by the Reserve Bank of India.
There are different types of cooperative banks operating at various levels. Primary cooperative credit societies (PCCS) operate at the village level and provide financial services to farmers. Central cooperative banks (CCB) operate at the district level, while state cooperative banks (SCB) work at the state level and act as the apex body. Urban cooperative banks cater to urban and semi-urban areas. The long-term cooperative institutions include primary agricultural and rural development banks.

The document discusses the Basel Accords, which are recommendations issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to strengthen the regulation, supervision, and risk management of the banking sector. It describes the key aspects of Basel I, issued in 1988, and Basel II, issued in 2004. Basel II built on Basel I by establishing three pillars: Pillar 1 sets minimum capital requirements; Pillar 2 establishes supervisory review; and Pillar 3 promotes market discipline through disclosure. The overall goal was to better align regulatory capital with risks and encourage sound risk management practices.
Non-performing assets (NPAs) are loans that are in default or close to being in default. In India, NPAs are classified as standard, sub-standard, doubtful, or loss assets depending on the period of default. The NPA rate in Indian banks peaked in 2015 at over 5% due to bad loans in sectors like infrastructure and steel. Measures to reduce NPAs include debt recovery tribunals, loan restructuring, and selling NPAs to asset reconstruction companies at a discount. High NPAs have significantly impacted Indian bank profits in recent years.
Apart from its Monetary policies to combat Inflation, Recession and like issues; Central Bank also has a significant role to play in the development of a country. This brief presentation highlights the roles India's Central Bank - the Reserve Bank of India has to play in the country's development.
Challenges for banking in current scenarioHumsi Singh
The presentation describes the challenges faced by the banking sector in today's scenario. It tells about the various problems faced by banks nowadays.
The document discusses securitization, which involves converting illiquid loans and receivables into marketable securities. Securitization originated in Denmark by selling bonds backed by equal amounts of loans. It later evolved in the US through innovations like slicing loan portfolios into tradable securities. A key part of securitization is the use of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) that purchases the loans, issues securities to investors, and uses the loan payments to repay investors. This separates the loans from the originator, protecting investors. Securitization provides originators with liquidity and long-term funding while transferring risk off their balance sheets.
Basel III is a global regulatory standard that aims to strengthen bank capital requirements and introduce new regulatory requirements on bank liquidity and leverage. It was implemented in response to deficiencies in the previous Basel II framework that were exposed by the global financial crisis. The goals of Basel III include improving the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks, reducing systemic risk, and increasing transparency. It establishes stricter capital standards, introduces capital buffers, and imposes new liquidity measures including the liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio.
This document provides an overview of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in India. It defines NBFCs and distinguishes them from banks. It outlines the registration process for NBFCs and classifications of NBFCs. The document also discusses why NBFCs are important for the Indian financial system, highlights of the NBFC sector, compliance requirements, and recent regulatory changes aimed to bring parity between NBFCs and banks. Suggestions are provided such as opening new avenues of fund raising to reduce NBFCs' reliance on deposits and giving systemically important NBFCs coverage under the SARFAESI Act.

Over time, various committees have shaped the regulatory framework for NBFCs in India to strengthen governance, disclosure, and supervision.
RBI GUIDELINES: GUIDELINES FOR COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT OF DUES OF BANKS AND FIN...GK Dutta
As you are aware, the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) has been issuing guidelines to member institutions for taking up of cases for settlement through Lok Adalats. The position

ALLOWABILITY OF OUTSTANDING INTEREST CONVERTED INTO DEBENTURES AS AN EXPENSE ...DVSResearchFoundatio
The Supreme Court ruled that the conversion of outstanding interest into debentures by the assessee company qualified for deduction under Section 43B of the Income Tax Act. The conversion was done under a rehabilitation plan agreed with institutional creditors to extinguish the interest liability. The Court observed that Section 43B was not meant to affect bona fide transactions, and debentures were different than loans/borrowings under Explanation 3C. It set aside the High Court's decision and allowed the assessee's claim for deduction, noting the conversion was an actual payment of interest rather than postponing the liability.

5. Overview
Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) are a type of non-banking financial institutions that primarily deals in
financing housing loans
HFC was completely regulated by National Housing Bank (Statutory body) till August 09,2019
Some of the notable players in housing finance are HDFC Housing Finance, LIC Housing Finance,
Indiabulls Housing Finance, etc.
On account of irregularities being faced in the housing finance sector, it was felt by CG that there is
a need to transfer the regulation of HFC from NHB to RBI
On account of this, CG in its Finance Act, 2019 (No.2) had, inter alia, amended the provisions of Sec 29A
of the NHB Act, 1987 by replacing the significant powers vested in NHB with RBI
6. Transfer of Regulation of HFC to RBI
The Finance Act, 2019 (No.2) has amended the National Housing Bank Act, 1987 conferring certain powers
for regulation of HFCs with RBI
CG vide its notification dated August 09, 2019 appointed the same date (09-08-2019) as the date on which
the transfer of regulation of HFC to RBI shall come into effect
Apropos to the above notification, RBI vide its press release dated August 13, 2019 stated the following:
•HFCs will be treated as one of the categories of NBFCs for regulatory purposes
•RBI will carry out a review of the extant regulatory framework applicable to the HFCs and come out with revised
regulations in due course
•In the meantime, HFCs shall continue to comply with the directions and instructions issued by the NHB till the RBI
issues a revised framework
•NHB will continue to carry out supervision of HFCs and HFCs will continue to submit various returns to NHB as before
•The grievance redressal mechanism with regard to HFCs will also continue to be with the NHB
A housing finance institution, which is a company, desirous of making an application for registration under
Sec 29A of the National Housing Bank Act, 1987, may approach the Department of Non-Banking
Regulation, RBI
8. Summary of the Proposed Changes

‘housing finance’ & principal business and
qualifying assets for HFCs
Increasing the minimum net owned fund
requirement, amending Tier I and Tier II

systemically important (asset size less than
₹500 crore); and
Reserve Bank’s directions on Liquidity Risk
framework, LCR, securitisation, etc., for
NBFCs, to be made applicable to HFCs
RBI has reviewed the extant regulatory framework and has identified a few changes which are
proposed to be prescribed for HFCs
Summary of the proposed changes made by RBI are as follows:
10. Re-introducing Dual Regulation
In order to avoid dual regulation, HFCs were granted exemption from the provisions of Chapter IIIB
of the RBI Act, 1934 vide notification dated June 18, 1997 by exercising powers under Section 45NC
of RBI Act, 1934
With the transfer of regulation of HFCs to RBI, it was decided to withdraw these exemptions and
make the provisions of Chapter IIIB except Sec 45-IA of RBI Act applicable to all HFCs (since Sec
45-IA deals with registration of an NBFC and this is taken care under Sec 29A of NHB Act, 1987)
RBI vide its Gazette Notification dated November 19, 2019 had withdrawn the exemptions granted
to HFCs
Companies intending to function as HFCs shall seek registration with RBI under Sec 29A of NHB
Act, 1987 and existing HFCs holding Certificate of Registration issued by NHB need not approach
RBI for fresh Certificate of Registration
12. ‘Providing Finance for Housing’ or ‘Housing
Finance’
RBI proposed to have an inclusive definition of the terms ‘providing finance for housing’ or ‘housing finance’
Housing Finance” or “providing finance for housing” means financing for purchase/ construction/
reconstruction/ renovation/ repairs of residential dwelling units, which includes the following:
1. Loans to individuals or group of individuals including co-operative societies for construction/ purchase of
new dwelling units
2. Loans to individuals for purchase of old dwelling units
3. Loans to individuals for purchasing old/ new dwelling units by mortgaging existing dwelling units
4. Loans to individuals for purchase of plots for construction of residential dwelling units provided a
declaration is obtained from the borrower that he intends to construct a house on the plot within a
period of three years from the date of availing of the loan
5. Loans to individuals for renovation/ reconstruction of existing dwelling units
6. Lending to public agencies including state housing boards for construction of residential dwelling units
13. Contd.
7. Loans to corporates/ Government agencies (through loans for employee housing)
8. Loans for construction of educational, health, social, cultural or other institutions/centres, which
are part of housing project in the same complex and which are necessary for the development of
settlements or townships
9. Loans for construction of houses and related infrastructure within the same area, meant for
improving the conditions in slum areas for which credit may be extended directly to the slum-
dwellers on the guarantee of the Government, or indirectly to them through SGs
10. Loans given for slum improvement schemes to be implemented by Slum Clearance Boards and
other public agencies
11. Lending to builders for construction of residential dwelling units
All other loans including those given for furnishing dwelling units, loans given against mortgage of property for
any purpose other than buying/ construction of a new dwelling unit/s or renovation of the existing dwelling
unit/s, will be treated as non-housing loans
14. Principal Business and Qualifying Assets
• As per Sec 29A of NHB Act, 1987, no HFC shall commence housing finance as its principal
business unless
• A certificate of registration is obtained from RBI; and
• Has a net owned fund (discussed in subsequent slides) of ₹ 10 crores* or such other higher
amount, as the RBI may, by notification, specify
Sec 29A of
NHB Act,
1987
• At least 50% of the net assets of the HFC are in the nature of qualifying assets; and
• At least 75% of such qualifying assets should be towards individual housing loans (as defined in
points 1 to 5 under “housing finance” in Slide No. 12)
• Earlier, HFCs were recognised if one of their principal objects was providing finance to housing
(directly or indirectly)
Principal
business
• It refers to ‘housing finance’ or ‘providing finance for housing’ (as defined in previous slides)
Qualifying
assets
• It means total assets other than cash and bank balances and money market instrumentsNet assets
*Net owned fund requirement is now proposed to be increased to ₹ 20 Crores by RBI
15. Contd.
Such HFCs which do not fulfil the principal business criteria will be treated as NBFC – Investment
and Credit Companies (NBFC-ICCs) and will be required to approach RBI for conversion of their
Certificate of Registration from HFCs to NBFC-ICC
Application for such conversion should be submitted with all supporting documents meant for new
registration together with an auditor’s certificate on Principal Business Criteria (PBC) and necessary
board resolution ratifying the conversion
However, a phased timeline will be given to HFCs which do not currently fulfil the qualifying assets
criteria, but wish to continue as HFCs in future (timeline provided below)
Timeline (Qualifying assets
criteria to be satisfied within
the below mentioned dates)
At least 50% of net assets as
qualifying assets i.e., towards
housing finance
At least 75% of qualifying assets
towards housing finance for
individuals
March 31, 2022 50% 60%
March 31, 2023 - 70%
March 31, 2024 - 75%
NBFC – Investment and Credit Company is a category of NBFC which comprises of 3 types of NBFC
1. Loan Company; 2. Investment Company; and 3. Asset Finance Company
17. Systemically and Non-systemically Important
Presently HFC regulations are common for all HFCs irrespective of their asset size and ownership
RBI proposed to issue HFC regulations by classifying them as systemically important and non-
systemically important, in line with the categorisation of other applicable NBFCs
Hence, a non-deposit taking HFCs (HFC-ND) with asset size (total assets) of ₹500 crore & above and all
deposit taking HFCs (HFC-D), irrespective of asset size, will be treated as systemically important HFCs
HFCs with asset size below ₹500 crore will be treated as non-systemically important HFCs (HFC-non-SI)
Regulations for HFC-NDSI & HFC-Ds will be as existing under NHB regulations or harmonised with NBFC
regulations
Regulations for HFC-non-SI (i.e., HFCs with asset size below ₹500 crore) will be brought on par with
relevant regulations for NBFC-ND-non-SI (Master Direction for non-systemically important NBFCs dated
September 01, 2016 and updated up to February 17, 2020)
19. NOF Requirement
In exercise of powers conferred under Sec 29A (1) (b) of NHB Act, 1987, RBI proposes to increase the
minimum NOF for HFCs from the current requirement of ₹10 crores to ₹20 crores
For existing HFCs the above requirement shall be attained in the following manner:
• ₹15 crores within 1 year; and
• ₹20 crores within 2 years*
This step is aimed at strengthening the capital base, especially of smaller HFCs and companies
proposing to seek registration under NHB Act
* The date from which the time limit of 1 year and 2 years to be taken are not specified
It can be expected that the same would be provided in the final HFC regulation proposed to be introduced

AND
#As per Explanation to Sec 29A of NHB Act, 1987
21. Tier I and Tier II Capital
Tier I capital
• Tier I capital is the primary funding source of NBFC and it is a NBFC’s highest quality
capital because it is fully available to cover losses
• It generally consists of the owned fund and the perpetual debt instruments (PDIs)
Tier II capital
• Tier II capital is a NBFC’s supplementary capital. The loss absorption capacity of Tier II
capital is lower than that of Tier I capital
• It generally consists of the subordinated debt, revaluation reserves, hybrid debt capital
instruments, PDIs, etc.
Perpetual debt
instrument
• It is a kind of debt instrument with no maturity date
22. Contd.
The components of Tier I and Tier II capital are similar for NBFCs and HFCs except for the treatment of perpetual
debt instruments (PDI)
Presently PDIs are not considered as part of capital of HFCs unlike that of NBFCs
It is proposed to align the definitions of capital (both Tier I and Tier II) of HFCs with that of NBFCs as per Para 3 (xxxii)
and 3 (xxxiii) of MD-NBFC-SI
The changes proposed are as follows:
• Inclusion of PDIs as a component of Tier I and Tier II capital on the lines of NBFCs
• PDIs can be treated as part of Tier I / Tier II capital only by non-deposit taking systemically important HFCs
• PDIs or any other debt capital instrument in the nature of PDIs, already issued by either deposit taking HFCs or
non-systemically important HFCs will be reckoned as Tier I or Tier II capital as the case may be for a period not
exceeding 3 years
• Since HFCs are treated as a category of NBFCs for regulatory purposes, investments in shares of other HFCs and
also in other NBFCs (whether forming part of group or not), shall be reduced from the Tier I capital to the
extent it exceeds, in aggregate along with other exposures to group companies, 10% of the owned fund of HFC
23. Public Deposits & Liquidity Risk
Framework and Liquidity
Coverage Ratio
24. The definition of public deposits as given by NHB under Housing Finance Companies (NHB)
Direction 2010 exempts any amount received from NHB or any public housing agency from the
definition of public deposit
RBI proposes to align the definition of public deposit as given under RBI master direction in
consonance with NHB definition by exempting the amount received by HFCs from NHB or any
public housing agency from the definition of public deposit
Public Deposits
25. Liquidity Risk Framework and Liquidity Coverage
Ratio
RBI proposed to extend the guidelines for NBFC on Liquidity Risk framework and LCR* for non-deposit
taking HFCs with asset size of ₹100 crores & above and all deposit taking HFCs
It will be the responsibility of the Board of Directors to ensure that the guidelines are adhered to
The internal controls required to be put in place by HFCs as per these guidelines shall be subject to
supervisory review
Further, as a matter of prudence, all other HFCs are encouraged to adopt these guidelines on liquidity risk
management on voluntary basis
* LCR is the proportion of high liquid assets (which are easily convertible into cash) set aside to meet
short-term obligations
26. Guidelines on Liquidity Risk Management
Framework
Board of the NBFC shall frame a liquidity risk management framework which ensures that it maintains sufficient
liquidity, including a cushion of unencumbered, high quality liquid assets to withstand a range of stress events,
including those involving the loss or impairment of both unsecured and secured funding sources
Key elements of the liquidity risk management framework include,
• Implementation of strong organisational set up for Liquidity Risk Management (Risk Management Committee,
Asset-Liability Management Committee, Asset Liability Management Support Group, etc.)
• Having a sound process for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk (Liquidity risk
Tolerance)
• Having a robust framework for comprehensively projecting cash flows arising from assets, liabilities and off-
balance sheet items over an appropriate set of time horizons
• Establishing a funding strategy that provides effective diversification in the sources and tenor of funding
• Actively managing the collateral positions, differentiating between encumbered and unencumbered assets
• Conducting stress tests on a regular basis for a variety of short-term and protracted NBFC-specific and market-
wide stress scenarios (individually and in combination)
• Publicly disclosing information on a quarterly basis on the official website of the company and in the annual
financial statement as notes to account that enables market participants to make an informed judgment about
the soundness of the liquidity risk management framework and liquidity position
27. Guidelines on Liquidity Coverage Ratio
LCR = Stock of High Quality Liquid Assets / Total Net Cash Outflows over the next 30 calendar days
Minimum LCR to be maintained by all non-deposit taking NBFCs with asset size of ₹ 10,000 crore and
above and all deposit taking NBFCs irrespective of the asset size from December 1, 2020 is 50%
progressively increasing, till it reaches the required level of 100%, by December 1, 2024
Non-deposit taking NBFCs with asset size of ₹ 5,000 crore and above but less than ₹ 10,000 crore
shall also maintain a minimum LCR of 30% from December 1, 2020, progressively increasing, till it
reaches the required level of 100%, by December 1, 2024
LCR shall continue to be minimum 100% on an ongoing basis with effect from December 1, 2024
Assets are considered to be high quality liquid assets if they can be easily and immediately converted into
cash at little or no loss of value
• E.g. Cash, Government securities, etc.
Total net cash outflows is defined as the total expected cash outflows minus total expected cash inflows
for the subsequent 30 calendar days
29. Addressing Double Financing
In order to address concerns on double financing due to lending to construction companies
in the group and also to individuals purchasing flats from the latter, the HFC concerned may
choose to lend only at one level
That is, the HFC can either undertake an exposure on the group company in real estate
business or lend to retail individual home buyers in the projects of group entities, but not
do both
If the HFC decides to take any exposure in its group entities (lending and investment) directly
or indirectly, such exposure cannot be more than 15% of owned fund for a single entity in
the group and 25% of owned fund for all such group entities
As regards extending loans to individuals, who choose to buy housing units from entities in
the group, the HFC would follow arm’s length principles in letter and spirit
Aggregate of,
• paid-up equity capital,
• CCPS,
• free reserves,
• balance in share premium account and
• capital reserves (realisable in cash)
• accumulated losses
• deferred revenue expenditure
• other intangible assets
Owned Fund

the collateral of listed shares contained in para 22 of the MD – NBFC – SI to all HFCs as follows:-
Applicable HFC lending
against the collateral of
listed shares shall,
(i) maintain a Loan to Value (LTV) ratio of 50% for
loans granted against the collateral of shares. LTV
ratio of 50% shall be maintained at all times. Any
shortfall in the maintenance of the 50% LTV
occurring on account of movement in the share
prices shall be made good within 7 working days.
(ii) in case where lending is being done for
investment in capital markets, accept only
Group 1 securities (specified in SMD/ Policy/
Cir - 9/ 2003 dated March 11, 2003 as
amended from time to time, issued by SEBI)
as collateral for loans of value more than ₹ 5
lakh, subject to review by the Bank.
(iii) report on-line to stock
exchanges on a quarterly basis,
information on the shares pledged
in their favour, by borrowers for
availing loans in prescribed format.
43. Outsourcing of Financial Services
As no guidelines have been prescribed for HFCs with regard to outsourcing of Financial Services, it
is proposed to extend the guidelines issued vide Annex XXV to the MD – NBFC – SI to all HFCs as
follows:-
As per the guidelines HFCs shall not outsource
core management functions including Strategic
and Compliance and decision-making functions
An HFC intending to outsource any of its financial
activities shall put in place a comprehensive
outsourcing policy
The service provider, if not a group company of
the HFC, shall not be owned or controlled by any
director of the HFC or their relatives
The Board and Senior Management of HFC shall
play a crucial role in approving and reviewing
outsourcing strategies and deciding on activities
that are material.
The HFC should guard against strategic risk, exit-
policy risk, legal and operational risk, contractual
risk and systemic risk while outsourcing.
Materiality of outsourcing function is
assessed based on the following:
The level of importance to the HFC of the activity
being outsourced as well as the significance of the
risk posed by the same
The potential impact of the outsourcing on the
HFC on various parameters such as earnings,
solvency, liquidity, funding capital and risk profile
The likely impact on the HFC’s reputation and
brand & objective
The cost of the outsourcing as a proportion of total
operating costs of the HFC
The aggregate exposure to that particular service
provider, in cases where the HFC outsources
various functions to the same service provider and
The significance of activities outsourced in context
of customer service and protection
Key Guidelines governing Outsourcing
44. Foreclosure Charges
As a measure of customer
protection and also in order to
bring in uniformity with
regard to repayment of
various loans by borrowers of
banks and NBFCs,
no foreclosure charges / pre-
payment penalties shall be levied
on any floating rate term loan
sanctioned for purposes other than
business to individual borrowers
with or without co-obligants
Since similar regulations are
currently not prescribed for
HFCs, it is proposed to extend
these instructions to HFCs
Implementation of Indian Accounting Standards
Instructions issued to NBFCs vide circular dated March 13, 2020 on Implementation of Indian Accounting
Standards will be extended to HFCs
Prudential floor for Expected Credit Loss (ECL) will be based on the extant instruction on provisioning

47. 1. Capital Adequacy Ratio
• Minimum CRAR prescribed for HFCs currently is 12% and which will be
progressively increased to 14% by March 31, 2021 and to 15% by March 31, 2022
• Further, the risk weights for assets of HFCs are in the range of 30% to 125% based on
asset classification, type of borrower, etc.
• However, for NBFCs, the minimum CRAR is 15% and risk weights are broadly under
0%, 20% and 100% categories
Capital
requirements
Capital adequacy ratio, also known as capital-to-risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR), is used to protect
depositors and promote the stability and efficiency of financial systems
CRAR is calculated by dividing the NBFC’s capital by its risk-weighted assets
Risk-weighted assets are used to determine the minimum amount of capital that must be held by the
NBFC to reduce the risk of insolvency
Generally, a NBFC with a high capital adequacy ratio is considered safe and likely to meet its financial
obligations
CRAR = (Tier 1 Capital + Tier 2 capital) / Risk weighted assets
• Harmonising the regulations (mentioned in this sub-topic) will be carried out in a phased
manner over a period of two to three years
• Until such time, HFCs will continue to follow the extant norms
Major Differences
48. 2. Income Recognition, Asset Classification and
Provisioning (IRACP) Norms
There are major differences in provisioning norms applicable to standard, substandard and doubtful
assets in HFCs' books (In case of standard loans, the HFCs are required to create a provision ranging
from 0.4% to 2% and for substandard the requirement is 15%, for doubtful, the requirement is 25% to
100%)
3. Norms on Concentration of Credit / Investment
• The credit concentration norms for NBFCs and HFCs are similar
• However, NBFCs enjoy certain exceptions in this regard
4. Limits on Exposure to Commercial Real
Estate (CRE) & Capital Market (CME)
Limits prescribed for HFCs for exposure to,
a. CRE by way of investment in land & building shall not be more than 20% of capital fund and
b. CME shall not be more than 40% of net worth total exposure of which direct exposure should
be 20% of net worth
No limits prescribed for NBFCs
49. 5. Regulations on Acceptance of Public Deposits
Some of the differences in the regulations pertaining to public deposits are as follows
• 12 months to 120 months for HFCs
• 12 months to 60 months for NBFCsPeriod of public
deposit
• 3 times of NOF for HFCs
• 1.5 times for NBFCs with minimum investment grade
rating
Ceiling on quantum of
deposit
• Ranging from 1% to 4% below prescribed rate for HFCs
• 2% to 3% below prescribed rate for NBFCs depending
upon duration and prescription of rate
Interest on premature
repayment of deposits
• 13% for HFCs
• 15% for NBFCsMaintenance of liquid
assets

53. Conclusion
Tighter regulatory norms and expected increase in transparency may attract more investors in the
housing finance sector over a period of time
With tighter norms and regular monitoring by RBI, frauds or scams in HFCs can be avoided or
mitigated
However, dual regulation by NHB and RBI on HFCs might be challenging and burdensome with
respect to statutory compliances by HFCs
