Govt to seek special dispensation from RBI to defer provisioning of loans to IL&FS group firms; asset monetisation gains pace

Firstpost  

Following the crisis at IL&FS late last year that raised concerns over liquidity in the system, the corporate affairs ministry had superseded its board. New Delhi: The government will soon approach the Reserve Bank of India seeking a special dispensation for deferment of provisioning requirements for bank loans extended to some IL&FS group firms amid ongoing efforts to monetise assets of the crisis-hit group, official sources said Tuesday. Against this backdrop, the sources said the ministry would soon approach the RBI seeking dispensation for deferment of provisioning of loans with respect to some IL&FS group firms. The IL&FS group companies are estimated to have outstanding loans of about Rs 60,000 crore to banks and financial institutions, while the total debt is over Rs 91,000 crore. In August 2018, the debt crisis at the IL&FS group came to the fore when one of its companies defaulted on repayment of Rs 1,000 crore debt to SIDBI.
