Master Circular - Income Recognition, Asset Classification, Provisioning & Other Related Matters
| RBI/2008-09/48 July ;1, 2008 The Chief Executive Officers of Dear Sir/Madam, Master Circular on Income Recognition, Asset Please refer to our Master Circular UBD.PCB.MC.No.10/09.14.000/2006-07 dated July 4, 2007 on the captioned subject. The enclosed Master Circular consolidates and updates all the instructions/guidelines issued on the subject up to June 30, 2008. Yours faithfully, (A.K Khound) Master Circular 1.1 In order to reflect a bank's actual financial health in its balance sheet and as per the recommendations made by the Committee on Financial System (Chairman Shri M. Narasimham), the Reserve Bank has introduced, in a phased manner, prudential norms for income recognition, asset classification and provisioning for the advances portfolio of the primary (urban) co-operative banks. 1.2 Broadly, the policy of income recognition should be objective and based on record of recovery rather than on any subjective considerations. Likewise, the classification of assets of banks has to be done on the basis of objective criteria, which would ensure a uniform and consistent application of the norms. The provisioning should be made on the basis of the classification of assets into different categories. 1.3 The requirements of the State Co-operative Societies Acts and / or rules made thereunder or other statutory enactments may continue to be followed, if they are more stringent than those prescribed hereby. 1.4 With the introduction of prudential norms, the Health Code based system for classification of advances has ceased to be a subject of supervisory interest. As such, all related reporting requirements, etc. also ceased to be a supervisory requirement, but could be continued in the banks entirely at their discretion and the management policy, if felt necessary. 2. NON-PERFORMING ASSETS (NPA) 2.1 Classification of Assets as Non-Performing 2.1.1 An asset becomes non-performing when it ceases to generate income for the bank. Earlier an asset was considered as non-performing asset (NPA) based on the concept of 'Past Due'. A ‘non performing asset’ (NPA) was defined as credit in respect of which interest and/ or installment of principal has remained ‘past due’ for a specific period of time. The specific period was reduced in a phased manner as under: 1993 -------------------- 4 quarters An amount is considered as past due, when it remains outstanding for 30 days beyond the due date. However, with effect from March 31, 2001 the ‘past due’ concept has been dispensed with and the period is reckoned from the due date of payment. 2.1.2 With a view to moving towards international best practices and to ensure greater transparency, '90 days' overdue* norms for identification of NPAs have been made applicable from the year ended March 31, 2004. As such, save and except certain relaxations mentioned at para 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 below, with effect from March 31, 2004, a non-performing asset shall be a loan or an advance where: (i) Interest and/or installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a Term Loan. * Any amount due to the bank under any credit facility, if not paid by the due date fixed by the bank becomes overdue. 2.1.3 Tier I Banks ( for definition please see annex 4) have been permitted to classify loan accounts including gold loans and small loan upto Rs 1 lakh as NPAs based on 180 days delinquency norm instead of the extant 90 days norm. This relaxation will be in force upto March 31, 2009. For the above category of banks, an account would be classified as Non Performing Asset if the : i. Interest and/or installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 180 days in respect of a Term Loan. The relaxations are given for the explicit purpose of enabling the UCBs concerned to transit to the 90 day NPA norm in the year 2009-10 by building up adequate provisions and strengthening their appraisal, disbursement and post disbursement procedures. 2.1.4 Tier II banks (all other UCBs which are not Tier I banks ) shall classify their loan accounts as NPA as per 90 day norm as hitherto. Note : A comparative analysis of the prudential norms as applicable for Tier I and Tier II banks are given in the Annex 4. 2.1.5 Agricultural Advance: (i) With effect from September 30, 2004 the following revised norms are applicable to all direct agricultural advances (Annex 1): a. A loan granted for short duration crops will be treated as NPA, if the installment of principal or interest thereon remains overdue for two crop seasons. (ii) For the purpose of these guidelines, "long duration" crops would be crops with crop season longer than one year and crops, which are not "long duration" crops would be treated as "short duration" crops. The system should ensure that identification of NPAs is done on an on-going basis and doubts in asset classification due to any reason are settled through specified internal channels within one month from the date on which the account would have been classified as NPA as per prescribed norms. Banks should also make provisions for NPAs as at the end of each calendar quarter i.e as at the end of March/ June/ September/ December, so that the income and expenditure account for the respective quarters as well as the P&L account and balance sheet for the year end reflects the provision made for NPAs. 2.1.7 Charging of interest at monthly rests (i) Banks should charge interest at monthly rests in the context of adoption of 90 days norm for recognition of loan impairment w.e.f. from the year ended March 31, 2004 and consequential need for close monitoring of borrowers' accounts. However, the date of classification of an advance as NPA as stated in preceding paras, should not be changed on account of charging of interest at monthly basis. (ii) The existing practice of charging/compounding of interest on agricultural advances would be linked to crop seasons and the instructions regarding charging of interest on monthly rests shall not be applicable to agricultural advances. (iii) While compounding interest at monthly rests effective from April 1, 2003 banks should ensure that in respect of advances where administered interest rates are applicable, they should re-align the rates suitably keeping in view the minimum lending rate charged by the bank (in view of the freedom given to them for fixing lending rates) so that they comply with the same. In all other cases also, banks should ensure that the effective rate does not go up merely on account of the switchover to the system of charging interest on monthly rests. (iv) Banks should take into consideration due date/s fixed on the basis of fluidity with borrowers and harvesting/ marketing season while charging interest and compound the same if the loan/ installment becomes overdue in respect of short duration crops and allied agricultural activities. 2.2 Treatment of Accounts as NPAs (i) The treatment of an asset as NPA should be based on the record of recovery. Banks should not treat an advance as NPA merely due to existence of some deficiencies which are of temporary in nature such as non-availability of adequate drawing power, balance outstanding exceeding the limit, non-submission of stock statements and the non-renewal of the limits on the due date, etc. Where there is a threat of loss, or the recoverability of the advances is in doubt, the asset should be treated as NPA. (ii) A credit facility should be treated as NPA as per norms given in paragraph 2.1 above. However, where the accounts of the borrowers have been regularised by repayment of overdue amounts through genuine sources (not by sanction of additional facilities or transfer of funds between accounts), the accounts need not be treated as NPAs. In such cases, it should, however, be ensured that the accounts remain in order subsequently and a solitary credit entry made in an account on or before the balance sheet date which extinguishes the overdue amount of interest or installment of principal is not reckoned as the sole criteria for treatment the account as a standard asset. 2.2.2 Treatment of NPAs – Borrower-wise and not Facility-wise (i) In respect of a borrower having more than one facility with a bank, all the facilities granted by the bank will have to be treated as NPA and not the particular facility or part thereof which has become irregular. 2.2.3 Agricultural Advances – Default in repayment due to natural calamities (i) Where natural calamities impair the repaying capacity of agricultural borrowers, primary (urban) co-operative banks, as a relief measure may decide on their own to: a. convert the short-term production loan into a term loan or re-schedule the repayment period, and (ii) In such cases of conversion or re-schedulement, the term loan as well as fresh short-term loan may be treated as current dues and need not be classified as non performing asset (NPA). The asset classification of these loans would, therefore, be governed by the revised terms and conditions and these would be treated as NPA under the extant norms applicable for classifying agricultural advances as NPAs. In the case of housing loan or similar advances granted to staff members where interest is payable after recovery of principal, interest need not be considered as overdue from the first quarter onwards. Such loans/ advances should be classified as NPA only when there is a default in repayment of instalment of principal or payment of interest on the respective due dates. 2.2.5 Credit facilities Guaranteed by Central /State Government (i) The credit facilities backed by guarantee of the Central Government though overdue should not be treated as NPA In the case of bank finance given for industrial projects where moratorium is available for payment of interest, payment of interest becomes due only after the moratorium or gestation period is over. Therefore, such amounts of interest do not become overdue and hence NPA, with reference to the date of debit of interest. They become overdue after due date for payment of interest, if uncollected. 2.2.7 Concept of Commencement of Commercial Production and Restructuring of Loan Accounts (i) Where a unit commences commercial production, but the level and volume of production reached immediately after the date of completion of the project is not adequate to generate the required cash flow to service the loan, it may be necessary to re-fix the repayment schedule. In such cases, the Board of Directors of the bank may lay down broad parameters for guidance of the staff for taking a view whether the unit has stabilised commercial production and there is a need for rescheduling of the loan to treat such advance as NPA or not. In framing these parameters, the following points may be kept in view: (a) In order to arrive at a decision as to whether the unit/project has achieved regular commercial production, the main guiding factor would be whether the unit has achieved cash break-even in order to service the loan. (ii) In respect of credit facilities sanctioned under consortium arrangements, the decision as to whether the borrowing unit has achieved regular commercial production and there is a need for rescheduling may be taken by the lead institution or lead bank and other participating institutions/banks may follow the same. (iii) (a) Treatment of restructured accounts (i) Restructuring/rescheduling/re negotiation of the terms of loan agreement in respect of standard and sub-standard accounts can take place at three stages, viz. (a) before commencement of commercial production, (b) after commencement of commercial production but before the asset has been classified as sub-standard, and (c) after commencement of commercial production and the asset has been classified as sub-standard. (b) Treatment of restructured standard accounts (i) A rescheduling of the instalments of principal alone, at any of the stages at (a) and (b) above would not cause a standard asset to be classified in the sub-standard category provided the loan/credit facility is fully secured. (c ) Treatment of restructured sub-standard accounts i. A rescheduling of the instalment of principal alone would render a sub-standard asset eligible to be continued in the sub-standard category for the specified period, provided the loan/credit facility is fully secured. ii. A rescheduling of interest element would render a sub-standard asset eligible to be continued to be classified in sub-standard category for the specified period subject to the condition that the amount of sacrifice, if any, in the element of interest, is either written off or provision is made to the extent of the sacrifice involved. iii. The substandard accounts which have been subjected to restructuring, etc. whether in respect of principal instalment or interest amount, would be eligible to be upgraded to the standard category only after the specified period, i.e. one year after the date when the first payment of interest or principal, whichever is earlier, falls due, subject to satisfactory performance during the period. iv.In case, however, the satisfactory performance during the one year period is not evidenced, the asset classification of the restructured account would be governed as per the applicable prudential norms with reference to the pre-restructuring payment schedule. (d) Applicability (i) The foregoing norms for restructuring, etc. would be applicable to standard and sub-standard assets only. All other prudential guidelines relating to income recognition, asset classification and provisioning would remain unaltered. (e) General All standard and sub-standard accounts subjected to restructuring, etc. would be eligible for fresh financing of funding requirements, as per normal policy parameters and eligibility criteria. i. Advances against term deposits, NSCs eligible for surrender, IVPs, KVPs and Life policies need not be treated as NPAs although interest thereon may not have been paid for more than 90 days provided adequate margin is available in the accounts. ii. Primary (urban) co-operative banks should fix monthly/quarterly instalments for repayment of gold loans for non-agricultural purposes taking into account the pattern of income generation and repayment capacity of the borrowers and such gold loan accounts may be treated as NPAs if instalments of principal and/ or interest thereon are overdue for more than 90 days. iii. As regards gold loans granted for agricultural purposes, interest is required to be charged as per Supreme Court judgement at yearly intervals and payment should coincide with the harvesting of crops. Accordingly, such advances will be treated as NPA only if instalments of principal and/or interest become overdue after due date. 2.2.9 Recognition of Income on Investment Treated as NPAs The investments are also subject to the prudential norms on income recognition. Banks should not book income on accrual basis in respect of any security irrespective of the category in which it is included, where the interest/principal is in arrears for more than 90 days . 2.2.10 NPA Reporting to Reserve Bank The primary (urban) co-operative banks should report the figures of NPAs to the Regional Office of the Reserve Bank at the end of each year within two months from the close of the year in the prescribed proforma given in the Annex 2. 3.1 Classification3.1.1 The primary (urban) co-operative banks should classify their assets into the following broad groups, viz. i. Standard Assets 3.2.1 Standard Assets i. With effect from March 31, 2005 an asset would be classified as sub-standard if it remained NPA for a period less than or equal to 12 months. In such cases, the current net worth of the borrowers/ guarantors or the current market value of the security charged is not enough to ensure recovery of the dues to the banks in full. In other words, such assets will have well defined credit weaknesses that jeopardise the liquidation of the debt and are characterised by the distinct possibility that the banks will sustain some loss, if deficiencies are not corrected. ii. An asset where the terms of the loan agreement regarding interest and principal have been re-negotiated or rescheduled after commencement of production, should be classified as sub-standard and should remain in such category for at least 12 months of satisfactory performance under the re-negotiated or rescheduled terms. In other words, the classification of an asset should not be upgraded merely as a result of rescheduling, unless there is satisfactory compliance of this condition. With effect from March 31, 2005, an asset is required to be classified as doubtful, if it has remained NPA for more than 12 months. For Tier I banks, the 12-month period of classification of a substandard asset in doubtful category will be effective from April 1, 2009. As in the case of sub-standard assets, rescheduling does not entitle the bank to upgrade the quality of an advance automatically. A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent as that classified as sub-standard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Note: Consequent to change in asset classification norms w.e.f. March 31, 2005 banks are permitted to phase the consequent additional provisioning over a five year period commencing from the year ended March 31, 2005, with a minimum of 10 % of the required provision in each of the first two years and the balance in equal instalments over the subsequent three years. 3.2.4 Loss AssetsA loss asset is one where loss has been identified by the bank or internal or external auditors or by the Co-operation Department or by the Reserve Bank of India inspection but the amount has not been written off, wholly or partly. In other words, such an asset is considered un-collectible and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted although there may be some salvage or recovery value. 3.3 Guidelines for Classification of Assets i. Broadly speaking, classification of assets into above categories should be done taking into account the degree of well defined credit weaknesses and extent of dependence on collateral security for realisation of dues. ii. In respect of accounts where there are potential threats to recovery on account of erosion in the value of security and existence of other factors such as, frauds committed by borrowers, it will not be prudent for the banks to classify them first as sub-standard and then as doubtful after expiry of 12 months from the date the account has become NPA. Such accounts should be straight away classified as doubtful asset or loss asset, as appropriate, irrespective of the period for which it has remained as NPA. 3.3.2 Advances Granted under Rehabilitation Packages Approved by BIFR/Term Lending Institutions i. Banks are not permitted to upgrade the classification of any advance in respect of which the terms have been re-negotiated unless the package of re-negotiated terms has worked satisfactorily for a period of one year. While the existing credit facilities sanctioned to a unit under rehabilitation packages approved by BIFR/term lending institutions will continue to be classified as sub-standard or doubtful as the case may be in respect of additional facilities sanctioned under the rehabilitation packages the income recognition and asset classification norms will become applicable after a period of one year from the date of disbursement. ii. A similar relaxation be made in respect of SSI units which are identified as sick by banks themselves and where rehabilitation packages/nursing programmes have been drawn by the banks themselves or under consortium arrangements. 3.3.3 Internal System for Classification of Assets as NPA i. Banks should establish appropriate internal systems to eliminate the tendency to delay or postpone the identification of NPAs, especially in respect of high value accounts. The banks may fix a minimum cut-off point to decide what would constitute a high value account depending upon their respective business levels. The cut-off point should be valid for the entire accounting year. ii. Responsibility and validation levels for ensuring proper asset classification may be fixed by the bank. iii. The system should ensure that doubts in asset classification due to any reason are settled through specified internal channels within one month from the date on which the account would have been classified as NPA as per extant guidelines. iv. RBI would continue to identify the divergences arising due to non-compliance, for fixing accountability. Where there is wilful non-compliance by the official responsible for classification and is well documented, RBI would initiate deterrent action including imposition of monetary penalties. 4.1 Income Recognition - Policy 4.1.1 The policy of income recognition has to be objective and based on the record of recovery. Income from non-performing assets (NPA) is not recognised on accrual basis but is booked as income only when it is actually received. Therefore, banks should not take to income account interest on non-performing assets on accrual basis. 4.2 Reversal of Income on Accounts Becoming NPAs 4.2.1 If any advance including bills purchased and discounted becomes NPA as at the close of any year, interest accrued and credited to income account in the corresponding previous year, should be reversed or provided for if the same is not realised This will apply to Government guaranteed accounts also. 4.2.2 If interest income from assets in respect of a borrower becomes subject to non-accrual, fees, commission and similar income with respect to same borrower that have been accrued should ceased to accrue in the current period and should be reversed or provided for with respect to past periods, if uncollected. 4.2.3 Banks undertaking equipment leasing should follow prudential accounting standards. Lease rentals comprises two elements – a finance charge (i.e interest charge) and a charge towards recovery of the cost of the asset. The interest component alone should be taken to income account. Such income taken to income account, before the asset became NPA, and remained unrealised should be reversed or provided for in the current accounting period.4.3 Booking of Income on Investments in Shares & Bonds 4.3.1 As a prudent practice and in order to bring about uniform accounting practice among banks for booking of income on units of UTI and equity of All India Financial Institutions, such income should be booked on cash basis and not on accrual basis. 4.3.2 However, in respect of income from Government securities/bonds of public sector undertakings and All India Financial Institutions, where interest rates on the instruments are predetermined, income may be booked on accrual basis, provided interest is serviced regularly and is not in arrears.Interest realised on NPAs may be taken to income account provided the credits in the accounts towards interest are not out of fresh/additional credit facilities sanctioned to the borrower concerned. 4.5.1 In case of NPAs where interest has not been received for 90 days or more, as a prudential norm, there is no use in debiting the said account by interest accrued in subsequent quarters and taking this accrued interest amount as income of the bank as the said interest is not being received. It is simultaneously desirable to show such accrued interest separately or park in a separate account so that interest receivable on such NPA account is computed and shown as such, though not accounted as income of the bank for the period. 4.5.2 The interest accrued in respect of performing assets may be taken to income account as the interest is reasonably expected to be received. However, if interest is not actually received for any reason in these cases and the account is to be treated as an NPA at the close of the subsequent year as per the guidelines, then the amount of interest so taken to income in the corresponding previous year should be reversed or should be provided for in full. 4.5.3 With a view to ensuring uniformity in accounting the accrued interest in respect of both the performing and non-performing assets, the following guidelines may be adopted notwithstanding the existing provisions in the respective State Co-operative Societies Act: (i) Interest accrued in respect of non-performing advances should not be debited to borrowal accounts but shown separately under 'Interest Receivable Account' on the 'Property and Assets' side of the balance sheet and corresponding amount shown under 'Overdue Interest Reserve Account' on the 'Capital and Liabilities' side of the balance sheet. (ii) In respect of borrowal accounts, which are treated as performing assets, accrued interest can alternatively be debited to the borrowal account and credited to Interest account and taken to income account. In case the accrued interest in respect of the borrowal account is not actually realised and the account has become NPA as at the close of subsequent year, interest accrued and credited to income account in the corresponding previous year, should be reversed or provided for. (iii) The illustrative accounting entries to be passed in respect of accrued interest on both the performing and non-performing advances are indicated in the Annex 3. 4.5.4 In the above context, it may be clarified that overdue interest reserve is not created out of the real or earned income received by the bank and as such, the amounts held in the Overdue Interest Reserve Account can not be regarded as 'reserve' or a part of the owned funds of the banks. It will also be observed that the Balance Sheet format prescribed under the Third Schedule to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (As Applicable to Co-operative Societies) specifically requires the banks to show 'Overdue Interest Reserve' as a distinct item on the 'Capital and Liabilities' side vide item 8 thereof. 5.1 Norms for Provisioning on Loans & Advances5.1.1 In conformity with the prudential norms, provisions should be made on the non-performing assets on the basis of classification of assets into prescribed categories as detailed in paragraph 3 above. 5.1.2 Taking into account the time lag between an account becoming doubtful of recovery, its recognition as such, the realisation of the security and the erosion over time in the value of security charged to the bank, the banks should make provision against loss assets, doubtful assets and sub-standard assets as below: (i) Loss Assets (a) The entire assets should be written off after obtaining necessary approval from the competent authority and as per the provisions of the Co-operative Societies Act/Rules. If the assets are permitted to remain in the books for any reason, 100 per cent of the outstanding should be provided for. (b) In respect of an asset identified as a loss asset, full provision at 100 per cent should be made if the expected salvage value of the security is negligible. (ii) Doubtful Assets (a) Provision should be for 100 per cent of the extent to which the advance is not covered by the realisable value of the security to which the bank has a valid recourse should be made and the realisable value is estimated on a realistic basis. (b) In regard to the secured portion, provision may be made on the following basis, at the rates ranging from 20 per cent to 100 per cent of the secured portion depending upon the period for which the asset has remained doubtful: Tier I Bank
Tier II Bank-
Few llustrations are given at Annex 5 (iii) Sub-standard Assets A general provision of 10 per cent on total outstanding should be made without making any allowance for DICGC/ECGC guarantee cover and securities available. (iv) Provision on Standard Assets a. From the year ended March 31, 2000, the banks should make a general provision of a minimum of 0.25 per cent on standard assets. b. However, Tier II banks ( unit banks and banks having multiple branches within a single district with deposit of Rs 100 crore and above and all other UCBs operating in more than one district ) will be subjected to higher provisioning norms on standard asset as under: i. The general provisioning requirement for ‘standard advances’ shall be 0.40 per cent from the present level of 0.25 percent. However, direct advances to agricultural and SME sectors which are standard assets, would attract a uniform provisioning requirement of 0.25 per cent of the funded outstanding on a portfolio basis, as hitherto. (c) The provisions towards “standard assets” need not be netted from gross advances but shown separately as "Contingent Provision against Standard Assets" under "Other Funds and Reserves" {item.2 (viii) of Capital and Liabilities} in the Balance Sheet. (d) In case banks are already maintaining excess provision than what is required/prescribed by Statutory Auditor/RBI Inspection for impaired credits under Bad and Doubtful Debt Reserve, additional provision required for Standard Assets may be segregated from Bad and Doubtful Debt Reserve and the same may be parked under the head "Contingent Provisions against Standard Assets" with the approval of their Board of Directors. Shortfall if any, on this account may be made good in the normal course. (e) The above contingent provision will be eligible for inclusion in Tier II capital. (v) Higher provisions There is no objection if the banks create bad and doubtful debts reserve beyond the specified limits on their own or if provided in the respective State Co-operative Societies Acts. 5.2 Provisioning for Retirement Benefits Primary (urban) co-operative banks may have retirement benefit schemes for their staff, viz. Provident Fund, Gratuity and Pension. It is necessary that such liabilities are estimated on actuarial basis 5.3 Provisioning Norms for sale of financial assets to Securitisation Companies( SC)/ Reconstruction Companies(RC) (a) If the sale to SC/RC is at a price below the net book value(NBV) (i.e. book value less the provision held), the short fall should be written off / debited to P&L A/c of that year, subject to the provisions of the co-operative societies acts/rules/administrative guidelines in regard to write-off of debts. (b) If the sale is for a value higher than the NBV, the excess provision will not be reserved but will be utilised to meet the shortfall/ loss on account of sale of other assets to SC/RC. 5.4 Guidelines for Provisions in Specific Cases (i) State Government guaranteed advances (ii) Advances granted under rehabilitation packages approved by BIFR/term lending institutions (a) The existing credit facilities sanctioned to a unit under rehabilitation package approved by BIFR/term lending institutions, should continue to be classified as sub-standard or doubtful asset as the case may be. (iii) Advances against fixed/term deposit, NSCs eligible for surrender, IVPs, KVPs, and life policies are exempted from provisioning requirements. (iv) Advances against gold ornaments, government securities and all other kinds of securities are not exempted from provisioning requirements. (v) Advances covered by ECGC/DICGC guarantee (a) In the case of advances guaranteed by DICGC/ECGC, provision should be made only for the balance in excess of the amount guaranteed by these Corporations. Further, while arriving at the provision required to be made for Doubtful Assets, realisable value of the securities should first be deducted from the outstanding balance in respect of the amount guaranteed by these Corporations and then provision made as illustrated hereunder: Example
Provision required to be made
(b) In case the banks are following more stringent method of provisioning in respect of advances covered by the guarantees of DICGC/ ECGC, as compared to the method given above, they may have the option to continue to follow the same procedure. 6. DIVERSION IN ASSET CLASSIFICATION AND PROVISIONING (i) Banks should ensure scrupulous compliance with the instructions for recognition of credit impairment and view aberrations by dealing officials seriously. (ii) Banks should establish appropriate internal systems to eliminate the tendency to delay or postpone the identification of NPAs, especially in respect of high value accounts. Banks should fix a minimum cut off point to decide what would constitute a high value account depending upon their respective levels. The cut off point should be valid for the entire year. (iii) The responsibility and validation levels for ensuring proper asset classification may be fixed by the banks. (iv) Where there is wilful non-compliance by the officials responsible for classification and is well documented, RBI would initiate deterrent action including imposition of monetary penalties. 7.
