The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has directed the banks to disclose details of all capital instruments issued at least on a half-yearly basis along with financial earnings report. The RBI's guidelines on Composition of Capital Disclosure Requirements noted that the disclosure requirement is intended to meet the Basel III requirement to provide a description of the main features of capital instruments.
As per the guidelines, all disclosures must be included in a bank's published financial results/statements and disclosed on bank's website. The central bank’s guidelines will become effective from July 1 and therefore, the first set of disclosures should be made by banks as on September 30, 2013. The RBI has released common reporting template for banks and aimed at to improve transparency of regulatory capital and to enhance market discipline. Till now, lenders don’t disclose details on the structure used for raising capital.
Basel III the global capital norms for banks and its guidelines aim to promote a more resilient banking system by focusing on four vital banking parameters viz. capital, leverage, funding and liquidity. India is implementing the norms in a phased manner from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2017.
