Framework for Compromise Settlements and Technical Write-offs
A. COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT IN WILFUL DEFAULT AND FRAUD CASES
Restructuring in general entails the lenders having a continuing exposure to the borrower entity even after restructuring and hence, in case of borrowers classified as fraud or wilful defaulter, permitting lenders to continue their credit relationship with the borrower entity would be fraught with moral hazard. On the other hand, a compromise settlement entails a complete detachment of the lender with the borrower. Therefore, permitting lenders to settle with the borrowers as per their commercial judgement would enhance recovery prospects.

Targeted Long Term Repo Operations (TLTROs)
Ans: The banks have already been given sufficient time to deploy funds availed under TLTRO scheme. It has now been decided to allow up to 30 working days for deployment in specified securities for those banks who have availed funds under the first tranche of TLTRO conducted on March 27, 2020. However, if a bank fails to deploy funds within the specified time frame, the interest rate on un-deployed funds will increase to prevailing policy repo rate plus 200 bps for the number of days such funds remain un-deployed. This incremental interest will have to be paid along with regular interest at the time of maturity.
Indian Currency
A) Basics of Indian Currency/Currency Management
In terms of Section 22 of the Act, Reserve Bank has the sole right to issue banknotes in India. Section 25 states that the design, form and material of bank notes shall be such as may be approved by the Central Government after consideration of the recommendations made by the Central Board of RBI.
The Reserve Bank, in consultation with the Central Government and other stake holders, estimates the quantity of banknotes that are likely to be needed denomination-wise in a year and places indents with the various currency printing presses for supply of banknotes. The Reserve Bank, in terms of its clean note policy, endeavours to ensure circulation of good quality banknotes to the members of public. With this objective in view, the banknotes received back from circulation at its Issue Offices and Currency Chests are examined and only notes considered fit for circulation are reissued while the others (soiled and mutilated) are destroyed.
In respect of coins, the role of RBI is limited to distribution of coins that are supplied by Government of India (GoI). The GoI is responsible for designing and minting of coins in various denominations as per the Coinage Act, 2011.
