Quick answerRBI extends credit relaxations for J&K borrowers by one more year, up to March 31, 2011. All scheduled commercial banks (excluding RRBs) must continue the concessions originally outlined in the April 2004 circular.

What changed

The previous extension of credit concessions for J&K borrowers, which was set to expire on March 31, 2010, has been further extended by one year. The new deadline for these relaxations is now March 31, 2011.

What it means for you

Banks must continue to offer the same credit relaxations and concessions to borrowers in Jammu & Kashmir for another year. This ensures ongoing support for trade and industry in the region, without any change in the terms of the relief.

Historical instruction — do not use for current compliance. This is what was required at the time; it no longer reflects current RBI requirements. If no replacement rule is linked above, that only means none is recorded on our register yet — it does not prove no later applicable rule exists. Confirm on the official RBI source below.
