The guidelines require banks to perform independent credit appraisal, enforce unsecured consumer credit limits, and verify promoter equity sources. By enhancing internal controls and scenario testing, the RBI aims to prevent adverse selection and credit concentration risks.
The issue involved aligning capital requirements with the scale and complexity of NBFCs. The Directions mandate differentiated capital, CET1, and leverage requirements based on regulatory layers.

The circular introduces consolidated Directions governing credit facilities for Small Finance Banks. It outlines RBI’s mandate, regulatory safeguards, and immediate applicability.
New Directions mandate a fair, transparent, two-stage process with notice, disclosure, and hearing before tagging a borrower as a wilful defaulter. The key takeaway is strengthened natural justice alongside tighter credit discipline.
RBI introduces a unified framework ensuring transparent, non-discriminatory interest rates on all domestic and non-resident deposits. Key takeaway: SFBs must follow strict policies on rate setting, premature withdrawals, and disclosure.
