Jaitley introduces bill in Lok Sabha to replace Banking Regulation Ordinance

25 Jul 2017 Evaluate

In order to resolve the problem of stressed assets, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has introduced a bill in the Lok Sabha to authorise the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to direct banking companies. The Banking Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2017, seeks to amend the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and replace the Banking Regulation (Amendment) Ordinance, 2017, which was promulgated in May 2017.

Jaitley said that stressed assets in the banking system have reached unacceptably high levels over Rs 8 lakh crore and hence, urgent measures are required for their speedy resolution. Therefore, it was considered necessary to make provisions in the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 for authorizing the RBI to issue directions to any banking company or banking companies to effectively use the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 for timely resolution of stressed assets.

Under the ordinance, RBI has been given powers to initiate insolvency proceedings and right to issue directions for resolution, appoint or approve for appointment, authorities or committees, which would advise the banking companies to deal with the case of stressed assets. Moving on fast-track, the RBI had in June identified 12 large loan defaulters who account for 25% of the total bad loans in the banking sector. Besides, action under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code has already begun in certain cases, including Essar Steel, Bhushan Steel and Bhushan Power & Steel.
