- The Reserve Bank of India(RBI) Central board has decided to create a specialised supervisory and regulatory cadre within the RBI to strengthen the supervision and regulation of commercial banks, urban cooperative banks and non-banking financial companies.
- The RBI’s decision to create a specialised regulatory cadre is important in light of increasing complexity of the regulated entities such as banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs).
- Cases of large frauds at banks and defaults by NBFCs which has affected the financial markets over the past year was in need of a specialized supervision to ensure that the financial sector remains in good health.
- At present,the RBI follows a risk-based supervision approach and assesses financial institutions across a whole host of parameters.These parameters include functioning of the board and board committees, credit appraisal and IT systems among others.
- As part of the inspection process, the regulator points out any shortcomings it finds and communicates corrective measures needed to the bank.Despite these systems being in place,the Indian financial system has seen a number of defaults and frauds in recent years
