Recent Developments. Quote from RBI circular October 7, 2010 The promoter's sacrifice and additional funds required to be brought in by the promoters should generally be brought in upfront. However, if banks are convinced that the promoters face genuine difficulty in bringing their share of the sacrifice immediately and need some extension of time to fulfil their commitments, the promoters could be allowed to bring in 50% of their sacrifice, i.e. 50% of 15%, upfront and the balance within a period of one year.
Support required from Lenders Timely submission of Flash Report and Final Restructuring Report (at least 10 days prior to CDR EG meeting) Regular conduct of MC meetings by MI and timely submission of minutes thereof to apprise CDR EG / facilitate decision by CDR EG Adherence to time lines and conditions mentioned in LOA.
