Quick answerRBI mandates debenture trustees to report NCD issuance, outstanding amounts, and defaults. Issuance reports due within 3 days of issue completion, defaults immediately, and outstanding amounts quarterly within 5 working days. Submit hard and soft copies to RBI's Financial Markets Department.
The rule, in the simplest words
How it plays out — a real example

A branch operations officer in Indore, Mr. Kumar, ensures that the NCD issuance details are submitted to RBI within 3 days of issue completion, as per the RBI's new rules. He also makes sure to report any default in NCD repayment immediately and files the quarterly outstanding NCD amounts within 5 working days after the quarter-end, all while maintaining accurate records in Annex 1, 2, and 3 formats.

What changed

RBI circular dated July 28, 2010 (FMD.MSRG.49/02.13.016/2010-2011) requires debenture trustees to report NCD details as per the 'Issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2010' issued on June 23, 2010. Reporting timelines: issuance within 3 days, defaults immediately, and outstanding amounts quarterly within 5 working days after quarter-end.

What it means for you

Debenture trustees must now adhere to strict reporting schedules for NCDs with maturity up to one year. This enhances RBI's oversight of short-term debt markets, ensuring timely data on issuance, outstanding positions, and defaults. Banks and lenders acting as trustees need to update their compliance processes to meet these deadlines.

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.
