Norms for sale of loans:

News:
  • The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed a comprehensive set of norms for sale of loans by banks which could be either standard or sub-standard.
More in the news:
  • Aim: Building a robust secondary market for bank loans that could ensure proper price discovery and can be used as an indicator for impending stress.
  • At present, the guidelines for sale of loan exposures, both standard as well as stressed exposures, are spread across various circulars of the RBI.
  • A dynamic secondary market for bank loans will also ensure proper discovery of credit risk pricing associated with each exposure.
  • Applicability: These guidelines will be applicable to commercial banks, all financial institutions, non-banking finance companies and small finance banks.
  • The directions will be applicable to all loan sales, including sale of loans to special purpose entities for the purpose of securitization.
  • The stressed assets would be allowed to be sold only through assignment or novation.
