The prudential regulatory framework for payments banks (PBs) will largely be drawn from the Basel standards. However, given the financial inclusion focus of these banks, it will be suitably calibrated, the RBI press release said.
According to the guidelines, the regulator will continue with 49% foreign investment limit in the aviation sector which includes both FDI and foreign institutional investor (FII) investments.
The Reserve Bank has extended the date for implementation of Basel III, the global capital norms for banks, by three months to April 1.
