These revised criteria are applicable to all Regional Rural Banks (RRBs).

RRBs need a net worth of ₹50 crore or more as of March 31 of the previous financial year and a net Non-Performing Asset (NPA) ratio of not more than 5% as of the same date. They must also have achieved net profit in the two preceding financial years.

RRBs that meet the eligibility criteria must submit an application to the concerned Regional Office of the RBI through NABARD, as prescribed in the circular dated November 19, 2015.
