2 Banking Policies Banking Policies RBI directive on card issuance RBI has advised banks at wi effect from September 1, 2015, all new cards - debit a credit, domestic a international - issued by em should be EMV (Europay, MasterCard, a Visa) chip a pin-based cards. While some banks have already moved to EMV chip a pin cards issuance, a large number of banks continue to issue magnetic stripe cards. The acceptance infrastructure is getting geared up to accept EMV chip a pin cards. Thus, given e level of readiness of e card acceptance infrastructure at point of sale a also e implementation of PIN@POS for debit cards, e time is appropriate to move furer along e pa to migrate away from magnetic stripe only cards to chip a pin cards. RBI released framework for dealing wi loan frauds RBI has released framework for dealing wi loan frauds for issues relating to prevention, early detection a reporting of frauds. The guidelines will come into force wi immediate effect. The most effective way of preventing frauds in loan accounts is for banks to have a robust appraisal a an effective credit monitoring mechanism during e entire life-cycle of e loan account. In case of accounts classified as 'fraud', banks are required to make provisions to e full extent immediately, irrespective of e value of security. However, in case a bank is unable to make e entire provision in one go, it may now do so over four quarters provided ere is no delay in reporting. Banks are required to lodge e complaint wi e law enforcement agencies immediately on detection of fraud. The concept of a Red-Flagged Account (RFA) is being introduced in e current framework as an important step in fraud risk control. An RFA is one where a suspicion of fraudulent activity is rown up by e presence of one or more Early Warning Signals (EWS). RBI has provided an illustrative list of some EWS for e guidance of banks. Borrowers who have defaulted a have also committed a fraud in e account would be debarred from availing bank finance from Scheduled Commercial Banks, Development Financial Institutions, Government owned NBFCs, Investment Institutions, etc., for a period of five years from e date of full payment of e defrauded amount. RBI allows ARCs resolution period beyo 8 years RBI has given Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) long resolution period to ensure smoo working of restructuring package for stressed accounts. The time for redeeming Security Receipts (SRs) held against assets might be exteed in congruence wi e resolution period approved by Board for Iustrial & Financial Reconstruction / Corporate Debt Restructuring / Joint Leers Forum, on a case to case basis wi e prior approval of RBI, subject to e Iepeent Credit Rating Agencies continuing to rate ese SRs. At present, e maximum resolution period permitted to SCs / RCs for realisation of stressed assets acquired by em is 8 years. However, in most cases, e repayment period goes beyo eight years. In such cases, ARCs holding part of stressed assets, had expressed eir inability to go along wi oer leers beyo eight years due to regulatory constraints. They would exit at e e of five or eight years, jeopardizing e restructuring efforts of a majority of leers. RBI has kept in mi ese constraints while modifying e directions. Now, wi e amements, ARCs can play an effective role in resolution of stressed cases. RBI removes curbs on NBFCs for sale of MFs RBI has lifted all restrictions on Non-Bank Finance Companies (NBFCs) to sell Mutual Fus (MFs). Since e distribution of Mutual Fu products by e NBFCs is on non-risk sharing basis a purely as a customer service, RBI has now decided to dispense wi e requirement of prior approval from e Reserve Bank for NBFCs to distribute Mutual Fu products. It has also been decided to dispense wi e minimum eligibility criteria. The guidelines on distribution of MF products by NBFCs have been suitably modified. According to e new guidelines, e NBFC should only act as an agent of its customer, forwarding eir applications for purchase or sale of MF units togeer wi e payment instruments to e MF, e registrars or e transfer agents. The purchase of units should be at e customers risk a wiout e NBFC guaranteeing any assured return. NBFCs can't acquire units of MFs from e secoary market for sale to eir customers or buy-back from eir customers. In case e NBFC is holding custody of MF units on behalf of its customers, it should ensure at its own investments a e investments belonging to its customers are kept distinct from each oer. The NBFC should not adopt any restrictive practice of forcing its customers to go in for a particular MF product sponsored by it. The customers should be allowed to exercise eir own choice. NBFCs Can Cut Forward Deals in Corp Bos RBI has permitted NBFCs registered wi RBI including Government companies as defined in sub-section (45) of section 2 of e Companies Act, 2013 which adhere IIBF VISION 2

3 Banking Policies - Banking Developments to e prudential norms prescribed for NBFCs by e Department of Non-Banking Regulation, Reserve Bank of Iia, to uertake ready forward contracts in corporate debt securities. Oer institutions, which are already allowed to enter forward contract deals include commercial banks, primary dealers, Exim Bank, National Housing Bank, National Bank for Agriculture a Rural Development, Small Iustries Development Bank of Iia, Housing Finance Companies a Mutual Fus. RBI eases remittance, ECB norms On a review of e permitted transactions uer e Rupee Drawing Arrangements (RDAs), RBI has decided to increase e limit of trade transactions from e existing `5,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lakh only) per transaction to `15,00,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Lakh only) per transaction. It has also been decided to permit Auorised Dealer banks to regularise payments exceeding e prescribed limit uer RDA provided at ey are satisfied wi e bonafide of e transaction. Wi a view to providing greater flexibility for structuring of ECB arrangements, it has been decided at recognised non-resident ECB leers may exte loans in Iian Rupees provided at e leer should mobilise Iian Rupees rough swaps uertaken wi an Auorised Dealer Category-I bank in Iia also e ECB contract should comply wi all oer coitions applicable to e automatic a approval routes as e case may be as well as e all-in-cost of such ECBs should be commensurate wi prevailing market coitions. For e purpose of executing swaps for ECBs denominated in Iian Rupees, e recognised ECB leer, if it desires, may set up a representative office in Iia following e prescribed laid down process. Norms on NPA sale to ARC eased Reserve Bank of Iia exteed by a year e benefit which allowed banks to spread over two years e loss incurred rough sale of bad loans to asset reconstruction companies. RBI said at is dispensation would be available till March As per an earlier circular, e forbearance had eed on March 31, In order to incentivise banks at recognised NPAs a sold em early RBI had allowed rough such sale over two years. Banking Developments Central Government to print 15 crore `1 notes every year After a gap of 20 years, e `1 note is set to make a comeback. The Central Government has decided to print 15 crore `1 notes every year. Incidentally, it is only `1 notes at are issued by e Government of Iia; all oer currency denominations are issued by RBI. RBI advises Banks to appoint Internal Ombudsman Reserve Bank of Iia has advised all public sector banks a some private sector a foreign banks to appoint an internal ombudsman. The internal ombudsman would be designated Chief Customer Service Officer (CCSO). He/she should not have worked in e bank in which he/she is appointed as CCSO. RBI has taken is initiative to boost e quality of customer service a to ensure at ere is uivided attention to resolution of customer complaints in banks. Reserve Bank of Iia will shortly issue detailed operational guidelines to e banks. SEBI notifies debt conversion norm for banks in distressed companies Securities a Exchange Board of Iia (SEBI) has notified new norms for banks to convert eir debt into equity to help leers deal wi defaulting borrowers. The conversion price shall be determined in accordance wi e guidelines specified by Reserve Bank of Iia for strategic debt restructuring scheme, which shall not be less an e face value of e equity shares. Equity shares so allotted shall be locked-in for a period of one year from e date of trading approval provided at for e purpose of transferring e control, e consortium of banks a financial institutions may transfer eir shareholding to an entity before completion of e lock-in period subject to continuation of e lock-in on such shares for e remaining period wi e transferee. Bill to check piling up of cheque-bounce cases Mr. Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister introduced e Negotiable Instruments (Amement) Bill 2015, which would help in ensuring a fair trial of cases uer Section 138 at deals wi cheques being not honoured. This was done to prevent piling up of cheque-bounce cases in various courts. The main amement included in is is e stipulation at e offence of rejection / return of cheque u/s 138 of NI Act will be enquired into a tried only by a Court wiin whose local jurisdiction e bank branch of e payee, where e payee presents e cheque for payment is situated. Relaxation in requirement of Additional Factor of Auentication for small value card present transactions The payment can be made up to `2,000 using NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled credit a debit cards wiout punching e password at any retail outlet or while shopping online. This is possible because Reserve Bank of Iia has waived e seco or e Additional Factor of Auentication (AFA) for small value transactions. NFC-technology allows users to IIBF VISION 3

4 Banking Developments - Regulator's Speak... simply tap eir cards onto a point-of-sales equipment to make payments. Unlike existing credit cards ere is no need for swiping. This will make life easier for consumers shopping online by enabling em to skip e process of typing an additional password. Government to expedite action on single Demat account & uniform KYC Shri Arun Jaitley, Union Finance Minister said at action on Single Demat account a Uniform KYC norms to be expedited a suitable regulation framework in is regard be put in place. He said at e common account aggregation facility is envisaged to allow people to get details of eir financial assets such as bank accounts, stocks, insurance policies, mutual fus a oer financial instruments at one place. The Financial Stability a Development Council (FSDC) took stock of e state of macro-economy a challenges / issues including external sector vulnerabilities while observing at macroeconomic vulnerabilities have been reduced significantly in e recent mons on e back of various policy initiatives taken by e Government, improvement in grow outlook, fall in inflation, recovery in e external sector a political stability. The Council also discussed e progress made regarding implementation of its decision taken on development of Corporate Bo Market a discussed e way forward for developing a vibrant, deep & liquid bo market. Norms for IDF-NBFCs relaxed Reserve Bank of Iia has widened e scope of financing of infrastructure debt fus by permitting em to invest in Public Private Partnership (PPP) a infrastructure projects which have completed at least one year of satisfactory commercial operation a are a party to a Tripartite Agreement wi e Concessionaire a e Project Auority for ensuring a compulsory buyout wi termination payment. It has also been decided to allow IDF-NBFCs to uertake investments in non-ppp projects a PPP projects wiout a Project Auority, in sectors where ere is no Project Auority, provided ese are post Commercial Operations Date (COD) infrastructure projects which have completed at least one year of satisfactory commercial operation. The maximum exposure at an IDF-NBFC can take on iividual projects will be at 50% of its total Capital Fus. An additional exposure up to 10% could be taken at e discretion of e Board of e IDF-NBFC. RBI may, upon receipt of an application from an IDF- NBFC a on being satisfied at e financial position of e IDF-NBFC is satisfactory, permit additional exposure up to 15% (over 60%) subject to such coitions as it may deem fit to impose regarding additional prudential safeguards. RBI Eases Norms for Remitting FCNR Fus RBI has clarified at A2 form is to be filed at e time of purchase of foreign exchange using rupee fus a hence is not applicable while remitting FCNR (B) fus. Completion of e declaration cum application form was earlier maatory for seing money abroad. RBI has also advised banks to devise better meods of checking wheer deals are bona fide, raer an insisting on e physical presence of e account holder, in order to ensure hassle free remittance of fus to e account holder. Calear of reviews to be replaced by seven emes of Nayak Committee RBI has prescribed comprehensive 'Calear of Reviews' to be deliberated by e Boards of banks a has made significant additions to e same over e years. It has been observed at Calear of Reviews uses considerable Board time a as a result e Board may not be in a position to give focused attention to matters of strategic a financial importance. In is connection, e Committee to Review Governance of Boards of Banks in Iia (Chairman - Dr. P. J. Nayak) had recommeed at discussions in e Boards of banks need to be upgraded a greater focus should be on strategic issues. In e first bi-monly monetary policy statement , it was proposed to do away wi e Calear of Reviews a instead, replace it wi e seven critical emes prescribed by e Nayak Committee namely, business strategy, financial reports a eir integrity, risk, compliance, customer protection, financial inclusion a human resources a leave it to e banks' Boards to determine oer list of items to be deliberated a periodicity ereof. Regulator's Speak... Raising capital has become difficult for banks According to Mr. S. S. Mura, Deputy Governor, RBI conservation of capital a its efficient utilization is a priority for all banks; especially in wake of e concerns about e ability of banks to raise additional capital to support eir business. These concerns are not entirely misplaced, especially for Public Sector Banks (PSBs). The poor valuations of bank stocks are not helping matters, as raising equity has become difficult. There is a constraint on e Government wi regards to meeting e capital needs of PSBs. Hence, certain banks are faced wi e challenge of looking at newer ways of meeting eir capital needs. IIBF VISION 4

5 Regulator's Speak... - Insurance RBI open to increase capital a/c transaction to $250,000 per year Mr. G. Padmanabhan, Executive Director, said at RBI has progressively increased e limit for capital account transactions for Iividuals on a per annum basis a are in consultation wi e Government to increase it to USD 250,000 per year per iividual. The experience so far has been at most of is is used for permissible current account transactions, presumably because of e ease. While ere are risks associated wi full capital account convertibility, resisting liberalisation over an exteed period may prove futile a counterproductive. As e economy gets more globalised, it will become harder to maintain closed capital accounts. So, Iia needs to continue moving towards full capital account convertibility. Reducing vulnerabilities crucial for emerging economies Dr. Raghuram Rajan, Governor, Reserve Bank of Iia, in his speech to e Economic Club of New York said at emerging economies have to work to reduce vulnerabilities in eir economies, to get to e point where, like Australia or Canada, ey can allow exchange rate flexibility to do much of e adjustment for em to capital inflows. But e needed institutions take time to develop. In e meantime, e difficulty for emerging markets in absorbing large amounts of capital quickly a in a stable way should be seen as a constraint, much like e zero lower bou, raer an someing at can be altered quickly. Even while resisting e temptation of absorbing flows, emerging markets will look to safety nets. Insurance Shareholding change in insurers The Insurance Regulatory a Development Auority of Iia (IRDAI) said at no registration of transfer of shares or issue of equity capital of an insurance company which would result in a shareholding change can be made where : After e transfer, if e paid-up holding of e transferee in e shares of e insurance company is likely to exceed 5% of its paid-up capital, it will not be approved. The nominal value of e shares inteed to be transferred by any iividual, firm, group, constituents of a group, or body corporate uer e same management, jointly or severally exceeds 1% of e paid up equity capital of e insurance company, unless e previous approval of e Auority had been obtained for e said transfer. IRDAI proposes to tighten registration norms IRDAI has proposed to tighten e norms for registration of insurance companies. In its draft regulations, IRDAI has sought e details of promoters' voting rights, e products to be sold, financial performance projections a e areas e insurers would operate in. New companies being registered will need to comply wi e provision of Iian owned a controlled. Existing companies will have to comply wi is wiin a year of e norms coming into force. The application for registration will be considered after taking into account factors such as capital structure, extent of obligation to provide insurance to e rural sector, unorganized workers, a backward classes of society. It will also look into e business plan for e succeeding five years, especially e plans to set up presence in rural areas. The minimum paid-up equity share capital required for all categories including life, general, heal a re-insurance is `200 crore. Iian investors cannot hold over 10% paid-up equity shares in insurance firms No Iian investor will be allowed to hold shares exceeding 10% of e paid-up equity shares in an insurance company, according to Insurance Regulatory a Development Auority of Iia (IRDAI). According to IRDAI (Transfer of Equity Shares of Insurance Companies) Regulations, 2015 all investors (where ere are one or more investors in an insurance company) jointly should not hold more an 25% of e paid-up equity share capital of e insurance company. Furer, wi reference to e proposals pertaining to e transfer of shares in insurance companies, e auority said it might ask Iian promoters as well as foreign investors to have a minimum lock-in period for infusion of additional capital as a pre-coition for approval. Expert panel on heal insurance says pilot products for 5-year tenure needed An expert committee constituted to examine e heal insurance framework has said ere should be experimental products, wi a five-year period. In its report, given to Insurance Regulatory a Development Auority of Iia (IRDAI), it recommeed insurers have a category of closed-e products (termed pilot products) for is much time. These would cover risks at are oerwise generally declined or excluded, where ey have e option to renew or not after five years. This is to encourage new IIBF VISION 5
