In order to bring more transparency in restructuring and to ensure viability and fairness of Indian companies, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) plans to mandate independent valuations for large restructuring proposals. The RBI Governor highlighted that central bank is planning a new entity to restructure and buy distressed assets and is working on to develop systems for early detection of financial distress. Meanwhile, the RBI will issue discussion paper on recognising financial distress by next week.
Underscoring the need for effective judiciary and bankruptcy systems to deal with the NPA menace, the Governor has asserted that banks will choke up with bad loans if system for early detection of financial distress cannot be developed. Therefore, for cleaning up the system, there is a need to recognise the problem early, resolve it early and recover the money. Presently, banks are struggling with the rising bad loans and weak financial distress system has led to large number of proposals for debt restructuring further adding to the stress on banks’ debt portfolio.
Furthermore, the RBI governor iterated that loan defaults have become a problem and the central bank will take a move soon in order to make borrowing costlier, especially for uncooperative and willful defaulters.
