In this regard, a new structure involving Reconstruction Company (ARC and Asset Management Company (AMQ was firmed up in consultation with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Indian Banks" Association (IBA); and National Reconstruction Company Limited (NARCL) was incorporated on 7.7.2021. NARC was Certificate of Registration by RBI on 4.10.2021 for commencement of business of  securitisation of asset  reconstruction operations: NARC is   intended to resolve stressed assets above Rs.500 crore each,   amounting to about Rs.2 lakh crore in phases. Government has approved extending a guarantee of up to Rs. 30,600 crore to back Security issued by NARCL for acquiring stressed loan assets: The guarantee will be valid for five from the date of issuance of SRs or till the date of final settlement of loan accounts, whichever is earlier: speech Asset Asset granted Receipts years

(d) and (e): As per the Financial Stability Report (FSR) released by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in July 2021, macro-stress tests   indicate that the gross performing asset (GNPA) ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) , under the baseline scenario, may increase from 7.48 per cent in March 2021 to 9.80 percent by March 2022.

As per RBI inputs; the said GNPA ratio has been arrived at without factoring in the impact of the policy actions under way: Therefore, the actual movement of GNPAs of SCBs will depend on the extent to which the benefit of such policy interventions from the Central Government and RBI is availed of by the eligible borrowers which; in turn, facilitates revival of accounts under stress.
