RBI sets up Working Group on Discounting of Bills by Banks

The Reserve Bank of India has constituted a Working Group on Discounting of Bills by banks to examine the possibility of extending bill discounting facility to services sector. At present, banks are allowed to discount only bills covering purchase of raw material/inventory for production purposes and sale of goods. Bills covering payment of electricity charges, customs duty, hire purchase/lease rental instalments and sale of securities are not eligible for discounting by banks. Further, in general, banks are prohibited from discounting bills covering services. But, in the context of the growing importance of the services sector especially industries such as, information technology and software services, travel, tourism etc., it is considered necessary to examine the possibility of extending bills discounting facility to this sector.

The composition of the Working Group is:
