NFRA CAUTIONS COS AGAINST VIOLATING NORMS ON RECOGNISING INTEREST EXPENSES ON
BANK BORROWINGS

The NFRA’s directive has come against the backdrop of instances of companies
discontinuing accrual/recognition of interest expense on bank borrowings, which
had reportedly been classified as NPA

The National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) has directed companies not to
discontinue recognition of interest expenses on borrowings merely on the basis
of expectations of a likely settlement with or without concessions from the
banks.

The NFRA’s directive has come against the backdrop of instances of companies
discontinuing accrual/recognition of interest expense on bank borrowings, which
had reportedly been classified as Non-Performing Asset (NPA).

According to the watchdog, such an accounting treatment was in contravention of
the provisions of applicable Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS).



No reduction in liability

“Mere classification of the company’s borrowings as NPAs by the lender banks
does not relieve the borrowing company from its liability towards payment of
interest and/or the principal.

“It may be relevant to note that the RBI guidelines also require the banks to
maintain a Memorandum Record of Accrued Interest on the loans classified as NPAs
clearly reflecting the fact that the bank has not yet legally released the
borrowers from their contractual liability to pay interest on their borrowings
from the bank,” NFRA said in a release on Friday.

Violations with respect to recognising interest expenses on borrowing has been
observed by the regulator with respect to several companies.

Against this backdrop, the regulator has also issued a circular to draw the
attention of all companies, audit committees, and statutory auditors. Also,
company secretaries have been advised to draw attention of the board of
directors of their companies to the circular.

“All companies which are required to follow Ind AS and their audit committees
are hereby advised not to discontinue recognition of the principal or interest
merely because of the borrowings being declared NPA or the management’s
expectation of a likely settlement with or without concessions from the banks,”
NFRA said.

 * BANK-FINTECH RELATIONSHIP A POSITIVE-SUM GAME: CASHE CTO & CBO
   
   The new guidelines pertaining to digital lending, introduced by the RBI are
   definitely a welcome move in terms of how the industry should adhere to a
   framework while handling customer’s data, said Yashoraj Tyagi, CTO and CBO,
   CASHe while speaking at the 4th Edition of ETBFSI CXO Conclave. There has
   been a massive shift in the last 5 years in the way customers handle digital
   credit. Invariably, this has led to a shift in the way organisations access
   data. "Ultimately, as the guidelines dictate, customers should be the centre
   of how they choose to give access to data," he said. Additionally, Tyagi
   spoke on how BNPL as a financial product, has worked in the Indian economy.
   “It has worked so far because India has shifted from a tabooed-economy to one
   which is driven by a healthy combination of savings and credit. However, the
   possibility of BNPL rising exponentially is doubtful.” Lastly, Tyagi
   acknowledged how the Bank-Fintech relationship is a positive-sum game. Both
   entities come with their own strengths and key values to the table. So, when
   such collaboration happen, both parties tend to benefit.

SPECIAL DRTS TO DEAL WITH HIGH-VALUE CASES OF OVER RS 100 CRORE

High-value cases are just 1 per cent of the total cases but form 80 per cent of
value, making it imperative to set up such tribunals.

With high-value cases amounting to the majority of claims by value, the
government has designated special debt recovery tribunals (DRTs) for speedy
recovery in such cases.
The Finance Ministry has designated one Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) each in
Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai for speedy adjudication and recovery in high-value
cases of Rs 100 crore and above.
DRT 1 Mumbai will handle all applications involving a debt amount of Rs 100
crore and above falling under the jurisdiction of DRT 2 and 3 Mumbai, DRT Pune
and DRT 1, 2 and 3 Ahmedabad, DRT Aurangabad and DRT Nagpur, according to a
notification issued by the ministry.
DRT 2 Delhi will deal with high-value debt cases falling under the jurisdiction
of DRT 1 and 2 Delhi, DRT Jaipur and DRT 1, 2 and 3 Chandigarh.
DRT 1 Chennai will deal with all applications involving a debt of Rs 100 crore
and above falling under the jurisdiction of DRT 2 and 3 in Chennai, DRT Madurai,
DRT 1 and 2 Bengaluru, DRT 1 and 2 Ernakulam, and DRT Coimbatore.
As of February-end, there were 1,61,034 pending cases at the DRTs, with DRT 2
Chandigarh having the most (10,578 cases), followed by DRT 3 Chandigarh (8,885)
and DRT 3 Kolkata (7,171).
The tribunals have been designated after banks made a request to the government
for special DRTs to expedite recovery in high-value cases.
The recovery through DRT is around 4 per cent in the last two years, making it
imperative to set up such tribunals for speedy and higher recovery. High-value
cases are just 1 per cent of the total cases but form 80 per cent of value.
