Glide Path for SR Provisioning by Co-op Banks & NBFCs

No longer current — withdrawn, no replacement on file yet

Quick answerRBI allows co-operative banks, RRBs, NBFCs, and AIFIs to spread the provisioning shortfall on legacy Security Receipts (SRs) over five years from FY2021-22 to FY2025-26, easing the transition to MD-TLE norms.

What changed

RBI issued a glide path for entities previously outside the 2016 stressed assets sale guidelines. The difference between carrying value and MD-TLE valuation of SRs held as of September 24, 2021, can now be provisioned in equal installments over five years starting FY2021-22. New SR investments must follow MD-TLE valuation rules immediately.

What it means for you

Lenders get breathing room to align SR provisioning without a sudden hit to capital. Banks must have a board-approved plan ensuring at least one-fifth of the required provisioning is made each year. This reduces earnings volatility but demands disciplined annual provisioning.

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.

❓ Common questions

Regulatory timeline

Built from our lineage records — each fact carries its provenance; missing history simply is not shown (never guessed).

Which SRs are covered under this glide path?

Only SRs outstanding on the date of issuance of MD-TLE (September 24, 2021) are eligible. SRs purchased after that date must follow MD-TLE valuation rules without any transition.

What happens if we miss the annual provisioning requirement?

The board-approved plan must ensure at least one-fifth of the total required provisioning is made each financial year. Falling short could attract supervisory action, so strict adherence is advised.
