The ongoing issue involving Supreme Infrastructure India Limited (<keyword id="23294280" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="SIIL" source="keywords">SIIL</keyword>) and the State Bank of India (<keyword id="19898108" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="SBI" source="keywords">SBI</keyword>) has become a focal point in India’s financial and political landscape. It concerns SIIL’s default on significant loans and SBI’s decision to convert this debt into equity, raising concerns about the precedent it may set for future debt resolutions in India. <h2>SIIL's financial troubles</h2>SIIL, a construction and infrastructure company, was once engaged in large-scale projects such as roads and bridges across India. Over the years, however, the company faced severe financial troubles due to project delays and insufficient revenues. As SIIL’s cash flow problems worsened, it struggled to repay its loans, leading to the company’s default. The State Bank of India (SBI), being SIIL’s largest lender, found itself at the centre of this financial turmoil, as SIIL declared bankruptcy. In response, SBI decided to take an unusual step to recover its dues. <h2>SBI's debt-to-equity conversion decision</h2>In a surprising move, SBI converted its outstanding debt into equity in SIIL. This means that instead of pursuing traditional recovery methods or selling off assets, SBI has now become an equity stakeholder in SIIL, shifting from being its primary lender to part-owner. The controversial decision also involved other lenders who agreed to take a 93.45% “haircut” on the debt, which indicates that they are recovering only a fraction of the original loans extended to SIIL. <h2>Criticism and concerns</h2>The decision has drawn sharp criticism, particularly from political circles. <keyword id="19895371" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Congress" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Congress" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Congress">Congress</keyword> leader Jairam Ramesh, through a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), criticised SBI’s approach and raised several concerns. He highlighted that SBI’s decision to become an equity stakeholder in a company that declared bankruptcy could set a "dangerous precedent in India’s <keyword id="20575563" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="corporate-debt" source="keywords">corporate debt</keyword> landscape". "This arrangement creates a dangerous precedent in India's corporate debt landscape — it encourages other defaulting companies to seek similar deals, where they can retain control and value even after significant defaults," Ramesh noted. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112987756" title="Congress alleges SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch of office for profit" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>His concerns extend to how this move might affect the <keyword id="20158086" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Insolvency-and-Bankruptcy-Code" source="keywords">Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code</keyword> (IBC) and India’s overall framework for handling distressed companies. By converting <keyword id="22921090" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="debt-to-equity" source="keywords">debt to equity</keyword>, SBI could be seen as aligning itself with the interests of the defaulting borrower (SIIL) rather than prioritising the recovery of public funds, which are at stake in cases involving <keyword id="19959986" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="public-sector-banks" source="keywords">public sector banks</keyword> like SBI. “The SBI appears to be aligning itself with the interests of the defaulting borrower (SIIL) rather than prioritising the recovery of public funds,” Ramesh further argued. "The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) needs to step in and examine SBI's decision-making process in this matter." Given the unusual nature of this debt restructuring and the potential risks it introduces, Congress is urging the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to step in and examine SBI’s decision-making process. Ramesh emphasised the need for regulatory scrutiny to ensure that public sector banks maintain discipline in their approach to resolving bad loans. Congress' position is that SBI’s move could create a moral hazard within India’s <keyword id="19964544" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="banking-sector" source="keywords">banking sector</keyword>, encouraging more companies to default on their loans with the hope of retaining control through similar debt-to-equity swaps. Ramesh pointed out that the entire situation raises questions about how distressed assets should be managed by public sector banks, and whether SBI’s actions are truly in the best interests of the public. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113620397" title="SEBI report reveals the ugly truth of F&amp;amp;O trading in India – 93% of retail traders incurred losses" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>"There is a pressing need to ensure that public sector banks maintain strict discipline in their approach to debt resolution and avoid creating moral hazards in the financial system." <h2>Broader implications</h2>This situation shines a light on broader challenges in India’s banking and insolvency frameworks. When public sector banks like SBI take significant financial losses (haircuts) and switch from creditors to shareholders, it risks undermining confidence in the banking sector’s ability to handle bad loans effectively. Moreover, it raises questions about the long-term sustainability of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) if companies that default can avoid paying back substantial portions of their debt and still retain operational control.

Congress criticises SBI's decision to convert SIIL debt into equity, urges RBI intervention

<ul><li>The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is looking at the one-time restructuring of all loans, which includes personal loans as well. </li><li>Provided you didn’t default on your loans as of 1 March 2020, you can apply to change the payment plan on your loan. </li><li>RBI has set a deadline of 1 December 2020 for all restructuring requests to be put into play and implemented within 90 days of being invoked. </li></ul>Car loans, home loans, or any kind of personal loan that you couldn’t make the payments on are now eligible for restructuring.

The minimum credit requirement is that you should not have defaulted on your loan payments as of 1 March 2020 or within 30 days of that day. The outstanding amount of debt at that point of time will be considered for restructuring. You have till 31 December to push for a new payment plan As per the RBI’s circular, resolution under the new mechanism has to be invoked by 31 December 2020. Once invoked, it must be implemented within 90 days. However, RBI suggests that banks and other lending institutions should try and kick off their plans earlier than the due dates. The resolution could include the following features: <ul><li>Rescheduling of payments </li><li>Conversion of interest accrued into another credit facility </li><li>Granting of moratorium </li><li>Modification of overall tenor of the loan </li></ul>The terms and conditions of how this will be determined depending on your projected income streams over the next two years. Provided the restructuring plan is put in place within the stipulated timeline, then your loan will not be classified as a non-performing asset (NPA). However, if that is not the case then rating of the loan will be done as per the borrower’s actual performance.

If you have a bank loan that you are unable to pay, restructuring is on its way

<ul><li>The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is bringing in <keyword id="396965" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="KV-Kamath">KV Kamath</keyword> to head up a new committee that will look into the one-time restructuring of loans. </li><li>The committee will look into the financial parameters that need to be factored into resolution plans. </li><li><keyword id="4124197" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="loan-resolution">Loan resolution</keyword> beyond a certain amount will also be validated by the committee before implementation.</li></ul>The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has taken heed to the call of industry leaders and is open to the idea of the one-time restructuring of loans — with its own terms and conditions, of course. It will set up a new mechanism for stressed assets that need rescuing and the existing scheme for restructuring MSMEs has been extended. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77387591" title="‘Watchful’ RBI leaves repo rate unchanged to keep inflation in check" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Governor <keyword id="6359111" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shaktikanta-Das">Shaktikanta Das</keyword> said that the Reserve Bank of India will set up a committee under KV Kamath ⁠— the former chairman of BRICS Bank and ICICI Bank ⁠— to set the parameters and benchmarks for this programme aimed at the resolution of stressed loans. The existing scheme for restructuring MSMEs is being extended to cover loans that were classified as standard as of March 1. Das said that for any new borrowers coming into the fold that the restructuring has to be implemented before 31 March 2021. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77328145" title="One-time loan restructuring dilemma - RBI won’t commit, and India Inc won’t stop asking for it" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> “The underlying theme of this resolution window is the preservation of the soundness of the Indian banking sector,” said Das highlighting that safeguards will be put in place like prudent entry norms, clearly defined boundary conditions, specific binding covenants, independent validation and strict post-implementation performance monitoring. The one-time restructuring of loans or resolution window will be implemented under the Prudential Framework dated 7 June 2019. Prudent entry norms Banks and other lending institutions can only extend this facility to borrowers that are facing stress on account of COVID 19. But when it comes to types of loans, everyone is fair game — from big corporate loans to personal loans. Banks will also need to make sure that any resolution plan adheres to the eligibility criteria put forward by the RBI. For instance, MSME borrowers with aggregate exposure of ₹25,000 crore or less as of March 1 will not be eligible. Financial service providers, credit societies, and government loans will not be eligible either. The Expert Committee headed by Kamath will also bring in sector specific benchmark ranges for the financial parameters that need to be taken into account. Clearly defined boundary norms In addition to the financial parameters that will cover aspects of leverage, liquidity, and debt serviceability among other things, the Expert Committee will also be called on to vet resolution plans for loans where the amount is ₹1,500 crore or more. The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has suggested that business should only be given enough money to survive, not grow and the money should be given on priority — it will have precedence over all other obligations of the company. The CII had also recommended that loans not be classified as non-performing assets (NPAs) as a part of the restructuring. RBI seems to agree provided the resturcturing of loans is carried out within the stipulated timlines. This means that banks will still have to set aside 15% of the loan value to cover the default risk. Which means the levels of provisioning will continue to remain high and the demand for capital is unlikely to subside if bad loans grow. Constant monitoring Considering the uncertainty brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, borrowers are likely to be more conservative in their estimates for recovery. The difference could be as much as a borrower needing one year to recover in a pre-COVID world versus five years to recover post-COVID, according to EY analyst Abizer Diwanji. The RBI is only allowing banks to give up to two years for borrowers to pay back the pending amount of their loans.

RBI brings in KV Kamath to set the boundaries for a one-time restructuring of loans

<ul><li>The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Monetary Policy Meeting (MPC) is currently underway and it has some tough decisions to make.</li><li>It needs to decide between meeting its inflation-targeting mandate and making sure there’s still liquidity in the market. </li><li>The RBI also needs to figure out where another moratorium or a one-time restructuring of loans across all sectors will be better for businesses.</li></ul>The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to announce its policy rate decision tomorrow, and this time around, the situation is more uncertain than usual. From meeting its inflation mandate to keeping money circulating in the economy to dealing with loans — RBI’s policy decision could set the tone for how the apex bank expects the next few months to go. The moratorium conundrum Many banks and industry experts are of the opinion that another moratorium on loan repayments is not required going forward. The RBI first announced a three-month moratorium from March to May then extended the limit to August 31 leading to a lot of uncertainty when it comes to a bank’s balance sheets. Private and public sector banks alike have been shoring up provisions to deal specifically with COVID related accounts, over and above the RBI’s mandate. <div type="image" title="Provisions in Q1" msid="77365771" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Provisions across major Indian banks in Q1&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> SBI chairman Rajnish Kumar told the <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/government-and-corporates-need-to-invest-more-for-recovery-sbi-chairman-rajnish-kumar/articleshow/77358404.cms">Economic Times</a> that the moratorium has achieved its limited purpose and can now be done away with. “What the RBI can do is if the bank is satisfied with the intent of the borrower and normalisation in cash flows, it can give some relief,” he said. The call for one-time restructuring Rather than delay payments further, Indian industry leaders are suggesting that a one-time restructuring of all loans should be put on the table. Certain segments were already struggling before the coronavirus pandemic hit and others are wondering how to crack the ‘new normal’. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77328145" title="One-time loan restructuring dilemma - RBI won’t commit, and India Inc won’t stop asking for it" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> The RBI’s issue with restructuring loans has always been that it amounts to ‘deceptive banks’ — in the words of the former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan. Businesses, on the other hand, don’t want to be declared NPA in order to be restructured since that blocks incremental funding. For any of this to happen, banks need to be incentivized to pump more money into loans on the verge of collapse. RBI’s inflation-targeting mandate Former RBI Deputy Governor Viral Acharya <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/current-affairs-trends/focus-on-inflation-over-growth-at-next-policy-review-meet-viral-acharya-to-rbi-5631091.html">believes</a> that the apex bank should ‘respect’ its core mandate and get inflation in India under control. But, it’s not a simple choice because of the relationship inflation shares with the repo rate. The RBI has slashed the repo rate twice in the last 4 months — once during the March MPC by 75 basis points (bps) and again in an off-cycle meeting in May by another 40 bps. 100 bps make up one percent and the repo rate is one of the instruments that the RBI has on hand to control inflation and spur growth. The rate currently stands at 4%. The repo rate and inflation share an inverse relationship. While dipping the repo rate further could make inflation worse, increasing it would make it more expensive for banks to borrow. The RBI is required to keep inflation in India between 2% to 6% as per its inflation targeting mechanism — or core mandate as Acharya put it. In the last six months, the RBI has missed its range exceeding 6% inflation each quarter. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; width: 468pt; table-layout:

tolerance levels this quarter as well, it will technically constitute a failure of the monetary policy. Following which, RBI will be required to send a report to the central government explaining why the situation occurred and the remedial measures to fix it.

Three things the RBI will have to mull over as it gets ready to announce its monetary policy decision

<ul><li>Rolex Rings is looking to raise ₹731 crore through public listing.</li><li>The Rajkot-based company is a manufacturer and global supplier of forged and machined components.</li><li>The company’s IPO opens on July 28 and closes on July 30.</li><li>The IPO will see its biggest shareholder Rivendell PE selling 28% stake in the company out of 41% current shareholding.</li></ul>Automotive components manufacturer Rolex Rings’ initial public offering (IPO) has opened and the company is looking to raise ₹731 crore through the public listing, of which only ₹56 crore is fresh issue. While analysing the Rolex Rings’ financials, it is evident that the company is under a corporate debt restructuring (CDR) cell as it was unable to pay its debt on time to banks and financial institutions. The company had approached the corporate debt restructuring (CDR) cell for restructuring debt in the financial year 2013. CDR is a scheme evolved by the RBI wherein it reduces the burden of debts on the company by decreasing the rates paid and increasing the duration of the debt. The company had a restructured term debt of ₹4,87 crore. As on March 31, 2021, the percentage of the restructured term debt still due is 6.89% amounting to ₹33 crore. “In the first quarter of FY22, the company has paid about ₹10.5 crore and the remaining will be paid in the next couple of quarters. Before March 2022, we should be out of CDR,” said Doshi. Despite investments coming in, the company has made certain delayed repayment of loans and interest in FY18 and FY19 to financial institutions and banks to the extent of ₹103 crore and ₹37 crore respectively. “We had certain defaults or rather not defaults, but delays from long term obligations, for example it is due on January 1 and we paid on January 3 or something like that. This is mainly because of working capital squeeze. Our revenue has gone up significantly, but our working capital limits by the lender and has not been increased because many of our lenders are under prompt corrective action (PCA) so that is why we had a bit delay,” said Hiren Doshi, chief financial officer (CFO) of Rolex Rings in an interview with Business Insider. Under the PCA regime by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), business restraints are imposed on struggling banks. Under PCA, banks are asked to reduce loan concentration to individual, group, sector, and company which means they cannot lend more loans to particular sections. “We cannot assure you that we will be able to make future payment of interest and repayment of borrowings in a timely manner or at all and that the relevant lenders will not impose, among others, default interest, penalties or termination of the facilities,” the company said in its red herring prospectus (RHP). From November 2018 onwards, the company did not have any single delays and even paid six months’ dues in advance before covid, Doshi added. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Particulars </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">FY21 </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">FY20 </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">FY19 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Profit </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹86 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹52 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹59 crore </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Revenue </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹619 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹675 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-right:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-bottom:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;border-top:solid #cccccc 0.8333325pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:2pt 2pt 2pt 2pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹911 crore </td></tr></tbody></table>Source: Red Herring Prospectus Further, the company will utilise the net proceeds of the IPO towards funding long-term working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes.

Rolex Rings’ IPO to help company focus on growth and come out of corporate debt restructuring

New Delhi, Jul 6 () Punjab National Bank Managing Director S S Mallikarjuna Rao on Monday expressed hope that the Reserve Bank will unveil by October its loan restructuring mechanism for some sectors severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Rao also said that the normalcy is still too far which is making it difficult to assess the situation of companies in terms of cash-flows. "We have requested RBI to permit restructuring. Bankers together have requested, through Indian Banks' Association (IBA), to RBI that you need to look at a one-time restructuring in all these accounts so that bankers will undertake the restructuring properly by analysing the cash flow. However, the account should not become NPA," he said during a webinar organised by CII. Citing an example of the US Federal Reserve, Rao said, the Fed has decided to directly lend corporates with two years' installment moratorium and one-year interest moratorium, besides offering longer durations for repayment. It, he stressed, indicates normalcy restoration by some of the industries is going to take longer. As per norms, Rao said, an account is treated as an NPA (non-performing asset) if it is restructured and provisions have to me made accordingly. Therefore, banks through IBA have requested the RBI for forbearance with regard to restructuring norms. "I believe in the recent board meeting they (RBI) have discussed. However, things may come out after some time. We can wait and see because as on today still we are unable to assess the cash flow of any unit because they have not come to normalcy. "So probably in the month of September and October you will have a better visibility in understanding about the cash flow, by which time, I am expecting that some decision in this regard could come from RBI," he said. The Reserve Bank in its 583rd board meeting on June 26 discussed current macroeconomic situation and evolving challenges being posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In February, the RBI decided to extend the benefit of one-time restructuring without an asset classification downgrade to standard accounts of GST-registered micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that were in default as on January 1, 2020, in line with the Budget announcement. "More than five lakh MSMEs have benefitted from restructuring of debt permitted by the RBI in the last year. The restructuring window was to end on March 31, 2020. The government has asked the RBI to consider extending this window till March 31, 2021," Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said in the Budget Speech. Last month, the finance minister said the government is in talks with the RBI for a one-time restructuring of loans to help stressed companies. In 2008 also, when the world was hit by the global financial crisis, the RBI had announced a one-time loan restructuring for several sectors to help them tide over the economic woes. However, the benefit was misused by many corporate borrowers and banks, compelling the regulator to tighten the rules in 2015. The RBI also initiated asset quality review in December 2015 to put an end to the concept of evergreening of accounts to keep them standard and avoid provisioning. Subsequently, one-day default norm was introduced and resolution of default cases are now dealt as per the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). DP MKJ MKJ

COVID-19: PNB chief hopeful of RBI allowing one-off loan restructuring by Oct

Mumbai, May 5 () Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have asked the Reserve Bank of India to allow them one-time restructuring of all loans till March 2021, as their borrowers are facing funding issues amid the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. NBFCs have also demanded for extension of the Reserve Bank of India's moratorium to them, relaxation on provisioning norms and additional funding from Small industrial Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) through refinance mechanism. These suggestions were made by the industry players in their meeting with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) held on Monday, according to the Finance Industry Development Council (FIDC), a representative body of lending NBFCs. The industry body said all their customers are facing disruptions in cash flow cycles, which is likely to be there for the major part of this fiscal. The most affected segments include transport operators, contractors and Micro, Small &amp; Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). "A one-time restructuring window should be allowed till March 2021 for amending the loan repayment schedules and/or extending loan tenures or restructuring the EMIs, without affecting the asset classification, in line with the revised expectation of cash flows of our customers," FIDC said in a statement. Currently, RBI has allowed banks and NBFCs for a one-time restructuring of existing loans to MSMEs till December 2020. NBFCs want that the one-time restructuring should be allowed for all other borrowers as well. While the three-months moratorium has provided some relief to borrowers, they may not be in a position to commence loan servicing from the fourth month on account of the disruption, FIDC said. It said the experience of targeted long term repo operations (TLTRO 2.0) clearly indicates risk aversion on the part of banks. In the first auction of TLTRO 2.0, RBI had received Rs 12,850 crore worth of bids, as against the notified amount of Rs 25,000 crore. "RBI should consider providing funds to a refinance mechanism through SIDBI, NABARD and their associate institutions which can provide long-term loans to NBFCs for their on-lending operations," the sector has requested the RBI. Also, the central bank should consider allocating the unsubscribed part of TLTRO 2.0 to SIDBI and NABARD. RBI, on April 17, announced to provide special refinance facilities for a total amount of Rs 50,000 crore to NABARD, SIDBI and National Housing Bank (NHB) to enable them to meet sectoral credit needs. NBFC players have also requested RBI that they should be given moratorium on their liabilities as well to ensure financial and liquidity stability to the sector. Last month, RBI had asked banks and NBFCs to maintain provisions of up to 10 per cent on all accounts that are at least 1 day past due and where a moratorium has been granted. The provision will be spread over two quarters - March, 2020 and June, 2020. NBFCs said given the nature of their borrowers and their businesses, it is routine for them to pay the EMIs a few days later. This usually happens due to various local factors (such as a truck operator's prolonged absence from home while driving the truck) and is not to be seen as a sign of credit risk, they said. A very substantial number of such customers service the loans before they become 30 days past due, the industry said while requesting a permission to make provisions, where moratorium has been given, only on loans that are 30 or more days past due.
