Salient features : 1. Expansion of definition of Security interest To suit changing credit landscape and augment ease of doing business, definition of security interest is modified and financial lease, hire-purchase or conditional sale transactions are included. Change in definition of asset by explicitly including intangible assets. 2. Inclusion of Debenture Trustees The SARFAESI Act has been extended to debenture trustees by including them as secured creditor with rights of enforcement security.

Central Registry System (National Database) Presently, security interests created in favour of banks & FIs are registered with the Central Registry (CERSAI). Now, all secured creditors and taxation authorities issuing attachment orders are enabled to register with CERSAI.
