d. 60-100

ANSWER: 30-100
 
RBI’s new debt recast norms are credit positive for banks and will help in reducing gross NPO levels by 30-100 basis points after a year.
  • Implementation of the guidelines will bridge the gap between actual expected losses and provisioning cover
  • New norms will also help in reducing reported gross NPA levels by 30-100 basis points from current level of 7.7 percent in March 2016
  • RBI issued guidelines on Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets
  • Scheme allows the bifurcation of stressed borrow debt into sustainable and unsustainable portions
