TAPAN RAY WORKING GROUP

Nov. 16, 2019

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) released the Report of the Working Group (WG) to Review the Regulatory and Supervisory Framework for Core Investment Companies (CICs).

About:

  • The working group was chaired by Tapan Ray, former Secretary, Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

  • The key recommendations of the WG are as follows:
    • Capital contribution by a CIC in a step-down CIC, over and above 10% of its owned funds, should be deducted from its Adjusted Networth, as applicable to other NBFCs. Further, step-down CICs may not be permitted to invest in any other CIC.

    • The number of layers of CICs in a group should be restricted to two.

    • Every Group having a CIC should have a Group Risk Management Committee (GRMC).

    • Constitution of the Board level committees viz., Audit Committee and Nomination and Remuneration Committee should be mandated.

    • Offsite returns may be designed by the RBI and may be prescribed for the CICs on the lines of other NBFCs.

    • Onsite inspection of CICs maybe conducted periodically.
