RBI issues revised Prompt Corrective Action framework for banks

The RBI on Tuesday issued a revised Prompt Corrective Motion (PCA) framework for banks to empower supervisory intervention at “suitable time” and also act as a tool for productive marketplace self-control.

Money, asset quality and leverage will be the essential parts for monitoring in the revised framework, the RBI stated.

The revised PCA framework will be productive from January 1, 2022.

“The objective of the PCA Framework is to empower Supervisory intervention at an suitable time and call for the Supervised Entity to initiate and put into action remedial steps in a timely way, so as to restore its money wellness,” the central bank stated.

The PCA framework is also intended to act as a tool for productive marketplace self-control.

The central bank also stressed that the PCA Framework does not preclude the Reserve Lender of India from having any other motion as it deems in shape at any time, in addition to the corrective actions approved in the framework.

“Indicators to be tracked for money, asset quality and leverage would be CRAR/Widespread Equity Tier I Ratio, Web NPA Ratio and Tier I Leverage Ratio, respectively,” according to the revised framework.

Breach of any risk threshold may possibly end result in invocation of the PCA.

The framework will apply to all banks running in India, together with international banks running through branches or subsidiaries dependent on breach of risk thresholds of identified indicators.

“A bank will generally be positioned less than PCA framework dependent on the Audited Annual Financial Success and the ongoing Supervisory Assessment manufactured by RBI.

“RBI may possibly impose PCA on any bank during the study course of a yr (together with migration from one threshold to one more) in case the instances so warrant,” it stated.

The framework also details circumstances for exit from PCA and withdrawal of limits.

If a bank is put less than the PCA, many limits are positioned on it.

The limits are imposed on dividend distribution and remittance of gains, bringing in the money (in the case of international banks), branch enlargement, and money expenditure.

The framework was last revised in April 2017.
