The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on October 13, 2022, issued a notification regarding the claims received from the National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company Ltd (NCGTC) and classification for the purpose of maintenance of Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)/Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) with reference to para 9 (Liabilities not to be included for NDTL computation) of Master Direction - Reserve Bank of India [Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR)] Directions – 2021 dated July 20, 2021, which was further amended on April 06, 2022.
In view of this, it has been decided that the amounts received by a bank from the National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company Ltd towards claims in respect of guarantees invoked and held by them pending adjustment of the same towards the relative advances, need not be treated as outside liabilities for the purpose of computation of NDTL for CRR and SLR.
