Chapter-II Balance sheet and Profit and Loss Account

A. Preparation of the balance sheet and profit and loss account

9. An NBFC shall prepare its balance sheet and profit and loss account, as prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013, as on March 31 every year. Whenever an NBFC intends to extend the date of its balance sheet, as per provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, it shall take prior approval of the Reserve Bank before approaching the Registrar of Companies for this purpose.

Explanation - Even in a case where RBI and the Registrar of Companies grant extension of time, the NBFC shall furnish to RBI a proforma balance sheet (unaudited) as on March 31 of the year and the statutory returns due on the said date. Every NBFC shall finalise its balance sheet within a period of 3 months from the date to which it pertains.

B. Accounting standards to be followed

10. An NBFC covered by Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, (‘Ind AS’) shall prepare its financial statements in accordance with Ind AS notified by the Government of India and shall comply with the regulatory guidance specified in paragraph 11 and paragraph 12 of this Master Direction. Other NBFCs shall comply with the requirements of Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, as amended from time to time, in so far as they are not inconsistent with any of Directions / Guidelines issued by RBI.

C. Guidance on specific issues with respect to certain Accounting Standards

11. An NBFC that is required to comply with Ind AS shall adhere to instructions given in the following paragraphs. These instructions focus on the need to ensure consistency in the application of the accounting standards in specific areas, including asset classification and provisioning. These instructions and guidelines relate to specific prudential aspects of Ind AS implementation by NBFCs and are not meant to provide a comprehensive commentary on the accounting standards or comprehensive technical interpretation of the standards, nor intended to cover all possible situations. Accordingly, with respect to matters not dealt in these Directions, an NBFC is required to refer to the notified accounting standards, application guidance, educational material and other clarifications issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

12. The responsibility of preparing and ensuring fair presentation of the financial statements of an NBFC vests primarily with its Board of Directors. The Reserve Bank expects a high-quality implementation of Ind AS which will require detailed analysis, application of judgment and detailed documentation to support judgments.

1) Governance Framework

(i) In view of the criticality of the nature of the business model in determining the classification of financial assets and restrictions on subsequent reclassification, an NBFC is advised to put in place Board approved policies that clearly articulate and document its business models and portfolios. The NBFC shall also articulate the objectives for managing each portfolio.

(ii) An NBFC shall frame its policy for sales out of amortised cost business model portfolios and disclose the same in its notes to financial statements.

(iii) The Reserve Bank expects the Board of Directors to approve sound methodologies for computation of Expected Credit Losses (ECL) that address policies, procedures and controls for assessing and measuring credit risk on all lending exposures, commensurate with the size, complexity and risk profile specific to the NBFC. The parameters and assumptions considered as well as their sensitivity to the ECL output should be documented. An NBFC shall not make changes in the parameters, assumptions and other aspects of its ECL model for the purposes of profit smoothening. The rationale and justification for any change in the ECL model shall be documented and approved by the Board. Similarly, the rationale and basis of any adjustments to the model output (i.e., a management overlay) shall be clearly documented and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board (ACB). Note – An NBFC / ARC may draw reference to ‘Guidance on Credit Risk and Accounting for Expected Credit Losses’ issued by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in December 2015, which is structured around 11 principles out of which first eight principles deal with supervisory guidance and inter-alia cover Board / Senior Management’s responsibilities, adoption of sound methodologies for credit risk measurement, disclosure requirements etc.

(iv) Ind AS 109 does not explicitly define default but requires entities to define default in a manner consistent with that used for internal credit risk management. It is recommended that the definition of default adopted for accounting purposes is guided by the definition used for regulatory purposes. The rationale for classification of accounts that are past due beyond 90 days but not treated as impaired shall be clearly documented and approved by the ACB. Further, the number of such accounts and the total amount outstanding and the overdue amounts shall be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Note - Paragraph B5.5.37 of Ind AS 109 states that “…an entity shall apply a default definition that is consistent with the definition used for internal credit risk management purposes for the relevant financial instrument and consider qualitative indicators (for example, financial covenants) when appropriate. However, there is a rebuttable presumption that default does not occur later than when a financial asset is 90 days past due unless an entity has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate. The definition of default used for these purposes shall be applied consistently to all financial instruments unless information becomes available that demonstrates that another default definition is more appropriate for a particular financial instrument.”

(v) Regardless of the way in which the NBFC assesses significant increase in credit risk, there is a rebuttable presumption under Ind AS 109 that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. Ind AS 109 also permits that an NBFC can rebut this presumption if it has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition even though the contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. An NBFC should educate its customers on the need to make payments in a timely manner. However, in limited circumstances, where an NBFC rebuts the presumption, it shall be done only with clear documentation of the justification for doing so. All such cases shall be placed before the ACB. The NBFC shall not defer the recognition of significant increase in credit risk for any exposure that is overdue beyond 60 days.

2) Prudential Floor for Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

(i) An NBFC shall hold impairment allowances as required by Ind AS. In parallel, the NBFC shall also maintain the asset classification and compute provisions as per extant prudential norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning (IRACP) including borrower / beneficiary wise classification, provisioning for standard as well as restructured assets, NPA ageing, etc. A comparison (as per the template provided in paragraph 21 (15) below) between provisions required under IRACP and impairment allowances made under Ind AS 109 shall be disclosed by the NBFC in the notes to its financial statements to provide a benchmark to it Boards, supervisors of the Reserve Bank and other stakeholders, on the adequacy of provisioning for credit losses.

(ii) Where impairment allowance under Ind AS 109 is lower than the provisioning required under IRACP (including standard asset provisioning), the NBFC shall appropriate the difference from its net profit or loss after tax to a separate ‘Impairment Reserve’. The balance in the ‘Impairment Reserve’ shall not be reckoned for regulatory capital. Further, no withdrawals shall be permitted from this reserve without prior permission from the Department of Supervision of the Reserve Bank.

(iii) The requirement for ‘Impairment Reserve’ may be reviewed, going forward.

D. Other instructions

13. An NBFC shall separately disclose in its balance sheet the provisions made as per the Reserve Bank’s guidelines without netting them from the income or against the value of assets.

14. Provisions, created by an NBFC, shall be distinctly indicated under separate heads of account as under:

(i) provisions for bad and doubtful debts; and

(ii) provisions for depreciation in investments

15. Provisions shall not be appropriated from the general provisions and loss reserves held, if any, by the NBFC. Provisions for each year shall be debited to the profit and loss account. The excess of provisions, if any, held under the heads general provisions and loss reserves may be written back without making adjustment against them.

Chapter-III Disclosure in Financial Statements – Notes to Accounts

A. General

16. An NBFC shall make disclosures in its financial statements in accordance with the guidelines in these Directions, applicable accounting standards, laws and regulations.

17. The formats for disclosures specified in this Master Direction are common templates for all categories of NBFCs.
