DNBS (PD). CC. No.____ /03.05.002 / 2007-2008

June _, 2008

All non-deposit taking NBFCs with asset size of Rs 100 crore and above

(All NBFC-ND-SI)

Please refer to paragraph 216 of Annual Statement on Monetary Policy for the Year 2008-09 in terms of which capital adequacy, liquidity and disclosure norms were to be reviewed in respect of NBFC-ND-SI.

2. While NBFCs-D were subject to certain bank–like prudential regulations on various aspects such as income recognition, asset classification and provisioning; capital adequacy; prudential exposure limits and accounting / disclosure requirements, so as to enable the Reserve Bank to discharge its responsibilities to protect the interests of the depositors, NBFCs-ND were subject to minimal regulation. However, in the light of the evolution of the financial sector, it was felt that all systemically relevant entities offering financial services ought to be brought under a suitable regulatory framework to contain systemic risk. Therefore, as a first step, it was advised that all NBFCs – ND with an asset size of Rs. 100 crore and more as per the last audited balance sheet would be considered as systemically important NBFC – ND (NBFC-ND-SI), and a new regulatory framework involving prescription of capital adequacy and exposure norms for such NBFCs-ND-SI was put in place from April 01, 2007.

Requirement as to capital adequacy

3. NBFCs – ND – SI were advised to maintain a minimum Capital to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of 10% with effect from April 01, 2007. However, in view of recent international developments, the risk associated with highly leveraged borrowings and the reliance on short term funds by some NBFCs, concerns have arisen regarding the enhanced systemic risk associated with the activities of these entities. Keeping in mind the importance of providing capital charge for the same, it has been decided to increase the minimum capital to risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR) for NBFC-ND-SI from the present prescription of 10% to 12% with immediate effect and further to 15% w.e.f. April 1, 2009.

4. The Bank will look into individual representations, in case there are difficulties in complying with the requirements and approve reasonable transition plans. Such NBFC – ND – SI would be required to immediately approach the Regional Office of the Bank in whose jurisdiction its Registered Office is located.

Asset Liability Management (ALM) – Guidelines- reporting by NBFC-ND-SI

5. To address concerns regarding Asset Liability mismatches and interest rate risk exposures, an ALM System was introduced for the Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) as part of their overall system for effective risk management in their various portfolios vide Company Circular DNBS (PD).CC.No.15 /02.01 / 2000-2001 dated June 27, 2001. While it was stated therein that the guidelines would be applicable to all the NBFCs irrespective of whether they are accepting / holding public deposits or not, to begin with, NBFCs meeting the criteria of asset base of Rs.100 crore (whether accepting / holding public deposits or not) or holding public deposits of Rs. 20 crore or more (irrespective of their asset size) as per their audited balance sheet as of 31 March 2001 were required to put in place the ALM System. They were advised that the guidelines should be fully operational by the year ending 31 March 2002. A system of half yearly reporting was also put in place for NBFCs holding public deposits.

6. In view of the possibilities of leveraged investments, and asset liability mismatch resulting from use short term sources to fund NBFC activities, it has now been decided to introduce a system of half yearly reporting for NBFCs-ND-SI in the format as prescribed in the Annex. The half yearly returns would comprise of three parts :

(i) Statement of structural liquidity in format ALM - Annexure - I;
(ii) Statement of short term dynamic liquidity in format ALM - Annexure - II; and
(iii) Statement of Interest Rate Sensitivity in format ALM - Annexure - III.

7. To enable the above class of NBFCs to fine tune their existing MIS such reporting would commence with effect from the period beginning September 30, 2008 and the reporting frequency would continue to be Half Yearly for the year ended March 31, 2009. However, the frequency of supervisory reporting of the Structural Liquidity position shall be monthly, with effect from month ending April 30, 2009.

Disclosure in the balance sheet

8. In the light of the concerns as expressed above, the disclosure norms in respect of NBFC-ND-SI have been reviewed and it has been decided that Systemically Important NBFCs may make the additional disclosures in their balance sheets from the year ending March 31, 2009 relating to:

i. CRAR
ii. Derivatives transactions entered during the year;
iii. Risk exposure to derivatives including both qualitative disclosure (risk management policies and systems in place) and quantitative disclosure (notional principal amount, credit exposure, marked to market positions);
iv. Exposure to real sector, both direct and indirect; and
v. Maturity pattern of assets and liabilities

The format of disclosure of this additional information is furnished in Annexure-IV.
