FAQ :
The threshold for personal loans granted to any director of other banks has been revised to Rupees five crore.
Loans and advances aggregating Rupees five crore and above to specified relatives of a bank's Chairman/Managing Director or other Directors must be sanctioned by the Board of Directors/Management Committee.
For these restrictions, 'relative' refers to individuals other than the spouse and minor/dependent children of the bank's Chairman/Managing Director or other Directors, and their relatives.
A 'major shareholder' is defined as a person holding 10% or more of the paid-up share capital or Rupees five crore in paid-up shares, whichever is less.
'Control' includes the right to appoint the majority of directors or to influence management or policy decisions, whether directly or indirectly.
