IFSCA clarified that the Authority does not mandate any Minimum Holding Period (MHP) requirement pertaining to sale/transfer of loan assets (by any means) by/to IBUs. IBUs undertaking such transactions are advised to undertake necessary due diligence and, if felt necessary, insert necessary provisions in the agreement to protect its interest such as for retention of a part of the asset or portfolio by the seller and/or minimum period of retention of the asset or portfolio by the seller prior to transfer (i.e.MHP). The IBUs may also put in place a policy for determining the MHP requirement for such transactions.
