  3. Easing financial stress

  4. Enabling formal working of markets


  • NPA classification will now not include the 90- day moratorium on loans.

  • Another liquidity boost through TLTRO 2.0 worth Rs 50,000 crore to begin with for NBFCs, HFCs and MFIs

  • Special refinance facilities of Rs 50,000 cr to NHB, SIDBI and NABARD

  • LCR requirement for SCB to be brought down from 100 percent to 80 percent with immediate effect

  • For all accounts where moratorium or deferment has been applied, there would be an asset classification standstill

  • DCCO delayed for reasons beyond the control of promoters, can now be extended by one year without asset classification downgrade. This relief is now also allowed for NBFCs.
