Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India on 7 June 2019 announced introduction of prudential framework for resolution of stressed assets with immediate effect. The regulator made these provisions applicable to non-banks and small finance banks.
The early stress recognition guidelines specify that borrowers must be categorized into special mention accounts based on their delay in repayment. These categories are special mention account-0 (SMA-0) loans, where the repayment overdue is between 1-30 days, SMA-1 (31-60 days) and SMA-2 (61-90 days).
All lenders must put in place board-approved policies for resolution of stressed assets, including the timelines for resolution. Since default with any lender is a lagging indicator of financial stress faced by the borrower, it is expected that the lenders initiate the process of implementing a resolution plan (RP) even before a default.
