RBI relaxes current account norms, extends deadline to implement new rules. Check details
The Reserve Bank of India on Wednesday issued guidelines for the implementation of the circular on the opening of current accounts by banks. The central bank has given banks time until October end to implement the new rules on current accounts issued in 2020. In the case of borrowers who have not availed of the CC/OD facility from any bank, there is no restriction on the opening of current accounts by any bank if exposure of the banking system to such borrowers is less than ₹5 crore. In the case of borrowers who have not availed of the CC/OD facility from any bank and the exposure of the banking system is ₹5 crore or more but less than ₹50 crore, there is no restriction on lending banks to such borrowers from opening a current account. The restriction applies to borrowers in case they avail the CC/OD facility since all operations that can be carried out from a current account can also be carried out from a CC/OD account as banks in a CBS environment follow a one-bank-one-customer model as against a one-branch-one-customer model.
