Study Notes
Internal Ombudsman
- The Internal Ombudsman does not handle complaints directly from the public but deals with complaints that have already been examined by the regulated entity and rejected.
- The Internal Ombudsman submits reports on their activities to the Board’s Committee on a quarterly basis, at least semi-annually.
### MSME Classification
- The Ministry of MSME revised the criteria for classifying enterprises as MSMEs in June 2020.
- The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) amended its Master Direction based on clarifications from the Ministry.
- All enterprises require online registration on the Udyam Registration portal to obtain the Udyam Registration Certificate.
- Banks are required to use the classification recorded in the Udyam Registration Certificate (URC) for Priority Sector Lending (PSL) purposes.
### Minimum Holding Period for Transfer of Receivables
- The RBI issued a Master Direction in 2021 regarding the transfer of loan exposures to facilitate a robust secondary market.
- The transferor can transfer loans after a minimum holding period (MHP) of 3 months for loans with a tenure of up to 2 years and 6 months for loans with tenures over 2 years.
- SBICAP, a subsidiary of the State Bank of India, created an SPV (SLS Trust) to manage these operations.
### NPS Contribution via UPI
- The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) allows National Pension System (NPS) subscribers to make contributions using Unified Payments Interface (UPI) QR codes under the D-Remit scheme.
- Contributions made before 9:30 AM are invested on the same day, optimizing returns for investors.
### India-Korea Electronic Origin Data Exchange System (EODES)
- The Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) launched the India-Korea EODES.
- EODES facilitates the implementation of the India-Korea Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) by electronically exchanging origin information between both customs administrations.
- The data from Certificates of Origin (CoO) issued by the exporting country are shared with the importing country, expediting the clearance of imported goods.
### Banking Sector Performance
- Higher net interest income and lower provisioning boosted Net Interest Margin (NIM) and profitability in 2022-23.
- Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) saw their consolidated balance sheets expand by 14.8% in 2022-23, primarily due to double-digit credit growth.
- The NBFC sector is well-capitalized with CRAR exceeding regulatory requirements.
- The number of fraud cases in the banking sector increased during the first half of the current financial year, while the amount involved in the frauds significantly decreased.
### Fintechs Surpassing Traditional Bank Lending
- The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) order on unsecured loans has slowed down bank growth in aggressive retail lending.
- This has discouraged the reliance on unsecured retail loans for growth by the Indian middle class.
- The impact of the regulator's action will be a 3-10 bps cut on the Return on Asset (RoA) and a 20-100 bps cut on the Return on Equity (RoE).
- Fintech companies are expected to benefit from this change as banks distance themselves from lucrative retail loans.
