Gross NPA ratio of NBFC sector increases to 6.3% in September: RBI Report

30 Dec 2019 Evaluate

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its Financial Stability Report has showed that non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) witnessed stress in their asset quality during first half of the current fiscal (H1FY20), with gross NPA ratio of the NBFC sector increasing from 6.1 percent in March 2019 to 6.3 percent in September 2019. However, it noted that the net NPA ratio of NBFCs remained steady at 3.4 percent between end-March 2019 and end-September 2019.

According to the report, the capital to risk assets ratio (CRAR) of the NBFC sector stood at 19.5 percent as of end-September 2019, lower than 20 percent as of end-March 2019. It noted that while the importance of NBFCs in credit intermediation is growing, the IL&FS episode brought the focus on the asset-liability mismatches of non-bank lenders, which poses risks to the sector as well as the financial system as a whole. To address such concerns, the RBI introduced the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirement for all deposit-taking and non-deposit taking NBFCs with an asset size of Rs 5,000 crore and above. It pointed out that the new regulation mandates NBFCs to maintain a minimum level of high-quality liquid assets to cover expected net cash outflows in a stressed scenario.

The report also said that NBFCs were the largest net borrowers of funds from the financial system with gross payables of around Rs 8,29,468 crore and gross receivables of around Rs 66,635 crore as at end-September 2019. It also stated that a further breakup of payables showed that 48.4 percent of the funds were obtained from banks, followed by 26 percent from mutual fund companies and 21.3 percent from insurance firms.
