How does RBI's riot provisions aid borrowers in Manipur
Analyze how RBI's riot provision helps borrowers in Manipur.
- Under this provision, borrowers affected by communal riots, industrial unrest, or violence can obtain a moratorium of up to six months on their loan repayments.
- This enables borrowers to have some breathing space and not default on their loans due to circumstances beyond their control.
- In addition, the RBI also provides a one-time settlement scheme for borrowers affected by such events. This enables the borrower to settle the outstanding amount of their loan through a mutually agreed-upon compromise with the lender.
- The RBI also has a system in place where banks can classify loans affected by riots or violence as priority sector lending.
- This ensures that such borrowers receive priority treatment when it comes to availing credit in the future.
