To identify the weakness in the loan accounts at an early stage, RBI has introduced the classification of a Special Mention Account. SMA serves as a risk management techniquethat helps the banker to become aware of the Early Warning Signals at an early stage and to check the potential NPAs and initiate corrective actions to capture the loans from becoming NPAs at future date.
Further, by making several changes in lending norms, RBI has also restricted UCBs from offering large corporate loans.
On December 27, 2019, RBI has mandated all UCBs with total assets of Rs 500 crore and above shall report credit information which shall include classification of an account as Special Mention Account (SMA), on all borrowers having aggregate exposure of Rs 5 crore and above. Further, UCBs need to submit the data report in CRILC from the quarter ended December 31,2019.
The draft guidelines are issued by the RBI with a plan to restrict urban cooperative banks’ (UCB) exposure to a single borrower at 10% and a group of connected borrowers at 25%of their tier-I capital, At present, the limits are 15% of a single borrower and 40% of a group of connected borrower.
It shall apply to all types of fresh exposures taken by UCBs.
Further, the existing exposures, which are more than the revised limits will be required to bring down to the revised exposure limit within the time limit by March 31, 2023.
To save the Urban Cooperative Bank from the dual regulation and to support the cooperative bank from falling, RBI has taken corrective measures by drafting the exposure limit and for credit reporting platforms which will result in data accuracy and integrity. Penal Provision shall be implied in case of failure.
