The RBI subsequently formed an expert committee led by Mr K V Kamath to suggest a list of financial parameters to be factored in the assumptions of the resolution plan and validate the resolution plan for all accounts above INR15b. Accordingly, the expert committee identified 26 sectors that have been impacted by COVID-19 with varying severity – mild, moderate, and severe. It also suggested financial parameters based on leverage, liquidity, and the debt serviceability of the company. The committee thus identified five key ratios with different limits across sectors to be used as the threshold in implementing a resolution plan. The expert committee suggested that ~INR38t of Banking sector debt comprises sectors affected by COVID-19, thus forming 37% of the total banking system debt. Among banks, total exposure toward the key troubled sectors forms 15–31% of the total fund-based exposure. Overall, we believe this is a prudent attempt by the expert committee at laying down the financial parameters for impacted sectors. It would enable transparency in restructuring across lenders while focusing on the efficacy of the resolution plan. We believe large banks are better placed as they have strengthened provision coverage, build higher COVID-19-related provision buffers, and gain incremental market share. We continue to prefer ICICIBC, HDFCB, and SBIN.
