RBI
·
Change
RBI amended Local Area Bank financial-statement disclosure directions with immediate effect, replacing the Revenue Reserve note and the prescribed table for movement of provisions for non-performing investments.
Why it matters
The amendment changes how Local Area Banks present reserves and non-performing investment provisions in financial-statement schedules. Finance and reporting teams must use the revised Revenue Reserve definition and the prescribed opening-balance, provision, write-off/write-back and closing-balance format for NPI provisions.
Implications
- — Local Area Bank finance teams must apply the revised Revenue Reserve definition when preparing Schedule 2(IV) notes from May 18, 2026.
- — Local Area Bank reporting teams must disclose movement of provisions for non-performing investments using RBI’s revised table format.
