Non-Banking Financial Companies – Income Recognition, Asset Classification, and Provisioning Amendment
On July 16, 2026, the Reserve Bank of India published the Third Amendment Directions for Non-Banking Financial Companies concerning Income Recognition, Asset Classification, and Provisioning. This move is intended to fortify risk management practices within the non-banking financial sector.
This amendment is founded on the RBI's authority under sections 45JA, 45L, and relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, illustrating a commitment to resolving challenges associated with stressed assets.
By establishing clearer guidelines regarding financial condition assessments and provisioning standards, the RBI endeavors to maintain systemic stability within the non-banking financial framework.
