RBI’s committee to look into NPA divergences, rising incidence of frauds

21 Feb 2018 Evaluate

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to constitute a five-member committee under the chairmanship of YH Malegam, a former RBI board member, in order to look into the reasons for high divergence observed in asset classification and provisioning in the credit portfolio of banks. Apart from this, the expert committee will check the factors leading to rising incidence of fraud in the banking system and also will look into role and effectiveness of various types of audits conducted in banks in mitigating the incidence of divergence and frauds. 

The development assumes importance as it comes just a week after the biggest banking scam worth Rs 11,400 crore was disclosed by Punjab National Bank (PNB), alleging that diamond importer Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Chokshi's group firms connived with two of the bank's employees to fraudulently receive multiple Letter of Undertakings (LoUs) to seek loans against them. Besides, the central bank has said that as part of ongoing efforts for strengthening of the supervisory framework in the country, it has been issuing necessary instructions to banks from time to time on a variety of issues of prudential supervisory concern, in.cluding the management of operational risks inherent in the functioning of banks.

The RBI further stated that the risks arising from the potential malicious use of the SWIFT infrastructure, created by banks for their genuine business needs, has always been a component of their operational risk profile. Therefore, it had confidentially cautioned and alerted banks of such possible misuse, at least on three occasions since August 2016, advising them to implement the safeguards detailed in the RBI's communications, for pre-empting such occurrences. However, it added that the banks have been at varying levels in implementation of such measures.
