after close1 source ↓written by the desknot a recommendation

Following the RBI’s final prudential norms, banks, including State Bank of India and Bank of India, are revisiting acquisition financing. The revised guidelines are perceived as more enabling, prompting lenders to conduct internal reviews and establish board-approved policies for better risk management.

• Banks seek legal clarity on the new framework.

• Internal reviews aim to enhance risk and staffing systems.

• The final guidelines provide operational flexibility for lenders.
