RBI asks banks to review finance to Government-owned entities



Quick Summary

This follows instances where banks have not strictly adhered to existing instructions regarding the assessment of commercial viability, revenue streams for debt servicing, and the monitoring of fund usage for infrastructure and housing projects. Banks must ensure that term loans are sanctioned only for corporate bodies and that project repayment is not reliant on budgetary resources.

FAQ :

The RBI has asked banks to review their financing of government-owned entities and report on compliance with existing instructions.

The RBI has observed instances where banks have not strictly complied with instructions on assessing commercial viability, revenue streams for debt servicing, and monitoring end-use of funds for government entity projects.

Banks have reportedly violated instructions requiring term loans for government-owned entities to be sanctioned only for corporate bodies, proper due diligence on project viability, and ensuring repayment is not from budgetary resources.

Banks are required to submit a comprehensive report on their compliance status to their Boards within three months from the date of the circular.

The RBI's concerns specifically mention infrastructure and housing projects undertaken by government-owned entities.
