Unsecured debentures Inter-Corporate Deposits (ICDs) Money received in trust Security deposits from employees Equated Monthly Investments (EMI) received in advance against lease/hire purchase finance. Unsecured debentures issued to the shareholders by a public limited company and to the general members of public by public and private limited companies are included in the definition of `public deposit’. However, unsecured debentures issued to other companies and banks/all India financial institutions are not public deposit. The money received in trust is no longer an exempted borrowing and hence forms part of the public deposit. However, other borrowings by way of ICDs, security deposits from employees (provided these are deposited in an account with a bank or a post office, jointly with the employee) and advance receipt of lease or hire purchase instalments, are exempted borrowings and hence fall outside the purview of public deposit.

The primary regulatory objective is to enable multiple avenues to lenders to recover the money in default without much delay. Apart from the time value loss, inordinate delays result in asset value deterioration which hampers ultimate recoveries. Compromise settlement is recognized as a valid resolution mechanism under the Prudential Framework on Resolution of Stressed Assets dated June 7, 2019. The imperatives for lenders are no different when it comes to recovery from borrowers classified as fraud or wilful defaulter. Continuing such exposures on the balance sheets of the lenders without resolution due to legal proceedings would lock lenders’ funds in an unproductive asset, which would not be a desirable position. As long as larger policy concerns are suitably addressed and the costs of malafide actions are made to be borne by the perpetrators, early recoveries by lenders should be a preferred option, subject to safeguards. Further, continuation of criminal proceedings underway or to be initiated against the borrowers classified as fraud or wilful defaulter, would ensure that perpetrators of any malafide action do not go scot-free.
