RBI has made the following changes to its existing PCA framework:<\/p>\n

– Profitability parameter excluded<\/strong> from its list of triggers. As per the 2017 PCA framework, capital, asset quality and profitability were the key areas for monitoring the risk of a bank.<\/p>\n

– RBI has also revised the level of shortfall in total capital adequacy ratio<\/strong> that would push the lender to \u201crisk threshold three\u201d category. Lenders breaching this risk threshold have the most stringent restrictions placed under PCA.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong> The indicators that will be tracked<\/strong> for capital, asset quality and leverage would be CRAR\/ common equity tier I ratio 2 , net NPA ratio 3 and tier I leverage ratio 4 respectively.<\/p>\n

– Payments banks and small finance banks<\/strong> (SFBs) have also been removed from the list of lenders where prompt corrective action can be initiated.<\/p>\n

– <\/strong>In governance related actions, the RBI can supersede the board<\/strong> under Section 36ACA of the BR Act, 1949.<\/p>\n

– <\/strong>The breach of any risk threshold may result in invocation of the PCA<\/strong>. The framework will apply to all banks operating in India, including foreign banks operating through branches or subsidiaries based on breach of risk thresholds of identified indicators.<\/p>\n

– <\/strong>A bank will generally be placed under PCA framework based on the Audited Annual Financial Results and the ongoing Supervisory Assessment made by RBI.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
