RBI introduces new norm, allows banks to sell loans before 'default' tag (DEC 12, 2022)

Bank and finance companies can sell stressed loans, that are marked default in their records, to asset reconstruction companies (ARCs). The Reserve Bank of India modified the loan sale guidelines last week to allow lenders to sell these loans. Previously, loans could only be converted to ARCs after being in default for more than 60 days or being labelled as non-performing assets (NPAs).
