Loan restructuring, other measures announced by govt may save PSBs from shock: Debasish Panda

28 Dec 2020 Evaluate

Financial Services Secretary Debasish Panda has said that loan restructuring and other measures announced by the government to help the industry hit by the coronavirus disease (covid-19) pandemic may save public sector banks (PSBs) from ‘shock’ in the next year. He said despite the pandemic, the lockdown and the consequent damage done to the economy, there are quick signs of recovery.

Panda further stated that there is a steady uptick in the credit growth. He noted that retail, home and agriculture loans are doing well, and MSMEs again, with the intervention of the government through the ECLGS and other similar schemes, have also picked up. He pointed out that with the window for restructuring now made available by the RBI through the COVID-19 resolution plan, which offers resolution for all kinds of loans, the impact may not be that severe as had been projected earlier. However, he said it is difficult to exactly predict the numbers.

In August 2020, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) permitted one-time restructuring of both corporate and retail loans without getting classified as a non-performing asset (NPA). Restructuring benefit can be availed by those whose account was standard on March 1 and defaults should not be over 30 days. Besides, the government has allocated Rs 20,000 crore for capital infusion into PSBs in the current financial year through the first supplementary demand for grants passed by Parliament in September. Of this, the finance ministry has granted Rs 5,500 crore to Punjab & Sind Bank to meet regulatory requirements.
