Let's take a look at the major changes in banking regulations
The banking regulator that has recently been entrusted with supervision of non-banking finance companies (NBFCs), is “studying” loan pricing methods in the sector, while no review is in the works as of now.
The external benchmarking mandate may lead to ALM risk in banks' books if they are unable to address the interest rate risk between floating rate loans and fixed rate deposits.
ndian lenders, especially private, that have been reluctant to pass on the benefit of low policy rates to borrowers, will witness a contraction in their Net Interest Margins (NIMs) as borrowers migrate to the new rate regime.
The RBI has made it compulsory for banks to link their new floating rate home, auto and MSME loans to an external benchmark from October 1 so that the borrowers can enjoy lower rate of interest.
