In Explanation No. (2) of para 16 (2), under the title, ‘Non-market-related off- balance sheet items’ the item no. x viz; ‘similar commitments with an original maturity up to one year, or which can be unconditionally cancelled at any time’ may be replaced with the following : ‘Similar commitments that are unconditionally cancellable at any time by the NBFC without prior notice or that effectively provide for automatic cancellation due to deterioration in a borrower’s credit worthiness’. 2.
