RBI issued guidelines for the opening of multiple operating accounts by borrowers, both current accounts, as well as cash credit (CC)/overdraft (OD), accounts to curb diversion of funds and fraud with banks. By these guidelines, banks will be having complete information of the banking exposure of the clients and can easily access their potential and credit limit for further credit. It will not only strengthen their banking system but also will reduce the chances of NPA and bad loans. However, Now banks have to create such infrastructure to implement these guidelines.
These Guidelines are as under:
Borrowers who have availed credit facilities: no bank can open current accounts for customers who have availed of credit facilities from the banking system. All transactions should be routed through the CC/OD account.
Borrowers who have not availed of CC/OD facility from any bank: if a bank has less than 10 % of the borrower’s credit exposure, then debits to the CC/OD account can only be for credit to the CC/OD account with a bank that has 10 % or more of the credit exposure. By this restriction on debits from smaller accounts, the RBI intends to check the diversion of funds and keep the banking activity within the key consortium lenders to the borrowers.
Borrowers who have not availed of CC/OD facility from any bank: For these customers, banks may open current accounts if the banking exposure of this customer is less than Rs 50 crore. Here, current accounts of borrowers can only be opened/maintained by the escrow managing bank.
