RBI Issues Draft Amendments for Securitisation Transactions
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued draft Amendment Directions aimed at improving efficiency, liquidity, and transparency in the issuance and subsequent transfer of Securitisation Notes (SNs). This development, made public on July 28, 2026, comprises amendments to various directions applicable to commercial banks, small finance banks, and non-banking financial companies concerning securitisation transactions.
The proposed amendments are part of RBI's larger strategy to bolster financial stability and enhance the reliability of securitisation transactions. This includes providing a framework for expeditious transfer and effective management of securitisation assets that are pivotal in the current complex financial ecosystem.
Legal practitioners engaged in financial services should closely review these draft amendments as they will provide guidance on compliance requirements moving forward. Engaging in the public consultation process is also critical, as stakeholder feedback will directly influence the final iterations of these directions.
