The Reserve Bank of India (RBl) has imposed, by an order dated March 18, 2021, a monetary penalty of ₹1.00 lakh (Rupees One Lakh only) on Vyavsayik evam Audhyogik Sahakari Bank Limited, Morena (the bank) for contravention of/ non-compliance with the directions issued by RBI on “Exposure Norms and Statutory/Other Restrictions – UCBs”. This penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in RBI under the provisions of Section 47 A (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) and Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, taking into account the failure of the bank to adhere to the aforesaid directions issued by RBI.

This action is based on deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

Background

The inspection report of the bank based on its financial position as on March 31, 2019, revealed, inter alia, contravention of/ non-compliance with the directions issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on “Exposure Norms and Statutory/Other Restrictions -UCBs”. Based on the same, a Notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed for non-compliance with the directions.

After considering the bank’s replies and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, RBI came to the conclusion that the aforesaid charge of non-compliance with RBI directions was substantiated and warranted imposition of monetary penalty.

How the proposed bad bank will impact IBC?, BFSI News, ET BFSI

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


After experimenting with debt recovery tribunals, SARFAESI and IBC, the government is setting up a bad bank.

The Union Budget 2021-22 has proposed the setting up of an asset reconstruction company a bad bank and an asset management company, which will rival the current Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code mechanism for large corporate loans.

Experts say loans greater than Rs 500 crore that have not been declared fraudulent will be transferred to the bad bank, statement of several senior officials in the government as well as Indian Banks Association have indicated.

Currently, all insolvency resolution cases are dealt by the IBC, which has been under suspension till March 24, 2021.

It is highly likely that the underlying companies would not be subjected to IBC in the first instance, rather the AMC will try and either revive these companies or package the loans to an investor, they say.

This is despite ARC is the last resort for bankers as the recovery rate is very low. However, in the case of the IBC, the rate has also been dismal.

Also, creditors of several companies had signed the Inter Creditor Agreement (ICA), pre-suspension and some of these corporates will continue negotiation under the framework roping in distressed asset investors.

IBC performance

The total number of corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) cases admitted under IBC till the second quarter of 2021 stood at 4,008, of which 277 ended in resolution, or firms getting new promoters, and 1,025 in orders for liquidation.

The total claims were Rs 10.48 lakh crore (Rs 4.34 lakh crore Gross NPAs plus Rs 6.14 lakh crore Net NPAs) and the realisable” amount Rs 2.2 lakh crore. This amounted to the total haircut at Rs 8.3 lakh crore, or debt recovery working out to be 79%

This dismal debt recovery rate is far lower than the earlier debt resolution processes when the recovery was 25%. Also, most of the debt claims — Rs 6.8 lakh crore or 59% of the total ended in liquidation.

Challenges

Experts say IBC faces new challenges including two-year loan restructuring the RBI allowed in August 2020 due to pandemic disruptions, the Supreme Court‘s September 2020 interim order to banks not to classify loans as NPAs until further orders and dilution of the IBC itself.

After resigning as the RBI Governor in December 2018, Urjit Patel wrote in his book “Overdraft: Saving the Indian Saver” that the government had diluted the IBC and weakened the RBI’s regulatory powers to resolve stressed assets after it issued a “revised framework” on February 12, 2018, asking banks to start resolution process after a day’s default.

The bad bank

Nine banks and two non-bank lenders, including the State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB) and Bank of Baroda

(BoB), are coming together to jointly invest Rs 7,000 crore of initial capital in a proposed bad bank that aims to help extract funds stuck in bad loans. Two other state-run financiers of power projects will also own stock in the bad bank.

Canara Bank, Union Bank of India and Bank of India will join their larger state-run peers as investors in the bad bank. ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and Life Insurance Corp of India-owned IDBI Bank are also among the shareholders. State-owned Power Finance Corp and Rural Electrification Corp will also be equal shareholders in the new company.
