Is it correct to say "Once NPA is alwyas NPA" under SARFAESI Act, 2002?

November 9, 2010 5989 Views 0 comment Print

It true that the Banks suffer a lot in recovering the outstanding dues from the borrowers in the absence of special enactment like SARFAESI Act and the object of the enactment is really laudable. It is a procedural change basically to enable the Banks to recover the loans speedily and in my opinion, it is not the intention of the legislature to put the borrower remediless if they are really aggrieved at the action initiated by the Banks under SARFAESI Act, 2002.

November 4, 2010 2901 Views 0 comment Print

As per extant guidelines on management of interest rate risk in the banking book under Pillar II, banks where the economic value of the banking book declines by more than 20% of the MVE as a result of a standardised interest rate shock of 200 basis points are considered outlier from supervisory perspective. However, no such calibration is envisaged at this stage for decline in the MVE based on the impact of the standardised interest rate shock of 200 basis points on the entire balance sheet, under the guidelines on banks’ ALM contained in this circular.
