RBI new rules for ‘Loan Loss Provision’ by Banks

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed a new set of rules governing loan loss provisioning by banks as it looks to enhance the resilience of the banking system.
The RBI defines a loan loss provision as an expense that banks set aside for defaulted loans.
The incurred loss approach requires banks to provide for losses that have already been incurred or have been incurred.
The banking regulator has proposed that each bank will be allowed to design and implement its own model to measure expected credit losses for the purpose of estimating loss provisions.
The forward-looking expected loan loss approach will further enhance the resilience of the banking system in line with globally accepted norms. This is likely to result in higher provisions than the reduction in provisions as seen in the incurred loss approach.
