With non-performing assets (NPAs) worth over Rs 50,000 crore under the RBI’s independent credit evaluation (ICE) framework, a joint study carried out by industry body Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) and rating agency Crisil has revealed that banks may need to take a haircut in the range of 40-60 percent to get a rating of RP4 for implementation of any resolution plan. It also said that the average sustainable debt for these assets is around 50 percent.
According to the report, as on June 30, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had approved resolution of 32 stressed assets under the corporate insolvency resolution process, aggregating Rs 50,000 crore against total claims of Rs 89,400 crore admitted by financial and operational creditors. It noted that the average resolution timeline for these accounts was 260 days, as against the stipulated 270 days. It also believed that an improvement in the recovery rate and reduction in timeline for resolution will increase investor confidence in the domestic corporate bond market.
The ASSOCHAM- Crisil study further stated that the IBC is expected to promote a market for unsecured financing and that is because the distribution waterfall of recoveries following liquidation gives unsecured financial creditors (apart from all secured creditors) precedence over government dues. Adding further, it said that some of the challenges in effective implementation of IBC are infrastructure issues, adherence to resolution timelines, liquidation impact, criticality of the role of the committee of creditors (CoC), and limited development of the secondary market. It added that these would need to be addressed systematically and soon for successful implementation of the IBC over the medium term and achieve the intended outcome.
