In the normal course of their business, NBFCs are exposed to credit and market risks in view of the asset-liability transformation. With liberalisation in Indian financial markets over the last few years and growing integration of domestic markets with external markets and greater use of derivatives products, asset liability management for NBFCs have become complex and large, requiring strategic management. Off balance sheet exposures of NBFCs have increased with the increased participation in the designated currency options and futures and interest rate futures as clients for the purpose of hedging their underlying exposures. It is therefore necessary that NBFCs move over to modern techniques of risk measurement to strengthen their capital framework.
The Reserve Bank of India, having considered it necessary in public interest and being satisfied that, for the purpose of enabling the Bank to regulate the credit system to the advantage of the country, it is necessary to amend the Non-Banking Financial (Deposit Accepting or Holding) Companies Prudential Norms (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2007 (hereinafter referred to as the said Directions), contained in Notification No. DNBS. 192/DG(VL)-2007, dated February 22, 2007 , in exercise of the powers conferred by section 45JA of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (2 of 1934) and of all the powers enabling it in this behalf, hereby directs that the said Directions shall be amended with immediate effect as follows, namely –
Please refer to the Guidelines on Credit Default Swaps for Corporate Bonds issued vide Circular No. IDMD.PCD.No.5053/ 14.03.04/2010-11 dated May 23, 2011 in terms of which broad guidelines including the eligible participants and other requirements were outlined. It was also indicated that market participants will have to follow the capital adequacy guidelines for credit default swaps (CDS) issued by their respective regulators.
Interest rate on Non-Resident (External) Accounts Scheme and Ordinary Non-Resident Deposit under savings account, which has been prescribed at 4 per cent per annum at present, will continue to be regulated until further review.
It has been decided to accept the letter issued by the (UIDAI) as an officially valid document for opening of accounts. Attention is also invited to Annex VI para 3 of Master Circular No 231 dated July 1, 2011 on KYC/AML/PMLA dealing with customer identification. It is reiterated that while opening accounts based on Aadhaar also, NBFCs must satisfy themselves about the current address of the customer by obtaining required proof of the same as per extant instructions.
Potential future exposures should be based on ‘effective’ rather than ‘apparent notional amounts’. In the event that the ‘stated notional amount’ is leveraged or enhanced by the structure of the transaction, the ‘effective notional amount’ must be used for determining potential future exposure. For example, a stated notional amount of USD 1 million with payments based on an internal rate of two times the lending rate of the NBFC would have an effective notional amount of USD 2 million.
In view of the problems faced by the money changers while obtaining documents towards address proof from foreign tourists, it has been decided to amend certain instructions contained in the aforementioned Part. The amended instructions are given in the Annex. All the other instructions contained in the A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 17 [A.P. (FL/RL Series) Circular No. 04] dated November 27, 2009 shall remain unchanged. Authorised Persons may bring the contents of this circular to the notice of their constituents concerned.
Banks are increasingly extending mobile banking facilities (financial) to their customers. Interbank Mobile Payment Service (IMPS) developed and operated by National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) has also enabled real time transfer of funds through the medium of the mobile phone between accounts in different banks. The volume and value of mobile banking transactions is also showing an uptrend. 3. In terms of Para 2.1 of our circular dated December 24, 2009, a transaction limit of Rs. 50,000/- per customer per day had been mandated. On a review it has been decided to remove this cap. However, banks may place per transaction limits based on their own risk perception with the approval of its Board.
Banks intending to move to any of the IRB approaches for computing capital charge for credit risk are advised to assess their preparedness for the same with reference to these guidelines. If a bank feels that it is prepared to adopt IRB approaches as per these guidelines, it may submit a letter of intention and its Board’s approval for adoption of IRB approach for credit risk to RBI (Chief General Manager-in-Charge, Reserve Bank of India, Department of Banking Operations and Development, Central Office, 12th Floor, Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Mumbai – 400001), along with a gist of self assessment report between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2012.
