Study Notes
Data Quality Index
- A common Data Quality Index would help UCBs identify gaps in their data and improve their performance over time.
- It would also enable UCBs to rank their performance against their peers and determine their relative position.
Best Practices for UCBs
- UCBs should adopt best practices while formulating or reviewing their policy and procedure under CICRA with the approval of their Board of Directors.
- Best practices are detailed in Appendix - C.
Uniform Credit Reporting Format
- UCBs have been advised to comply with the directive dated January 15, 2015, and become members of all CICs.
- They should submit data (including historical data) to CICs.
- The Uniform Credit Reporting Format has been modified vide DoR.FIN.REC.46/20.16.056/2020-21 dated March 12, 2021.
- The modifications include:
- Changing the label of the field 'Written off and Settled status' to 'Credit Facility Status' in the Consumer Bureau.
- Adding a new catalogue value, 'Restructured due to COVID-19', to the field 'Credit Facility Status' in the Consumer Bureau.
- Adding a new catalogue value, 'Restructured due to COVID-19', to the field 'Major reasons for restructuring' in the Commercial Bureau.
Technical Working Group
- A Technical Working Group will be constituted to review and make changes to the data formats.
- The Group will comprise representatives from Scheduled Commercial Banks, Urban Cooperative Banks, Regional Rural Banks, CICs, NBFCs, HFCs, IBA, and MFIN.
- The Group will submit the finalised data formats to RBI for approval.
Rectification of Rejected Data
- CICs should share the logic and validation processes involved in data acceptance with UCBs.
- The reasons for rejection should be parameterised and circulated among UCBs.
- Rejection reports should be made simple and understandable.
- UCBs should rectify the rejected data and upload it to CICs within seven days of receipt of the rejection report.
