Accordingly, the proposed Finance Bill empowers the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to undertake corporate restructuring of non-banking finance

statement.According to India Ratings, the proposed framework will help in tackling the contagion risk by the regulator especially for
extreme cases.Apart from the long-term regulatory empowerment of the RBI, the credit ratings agency pointed out other budgetary proposals
which will ensure short-term liquidity."The provision of a partial credit guarantee by the government to cover the first loss of up to 10
per cent on the pool of assets purchased from NBFCs by public sector banks for a period of six months could help infuse liquidity in NBFCs,"
included in the liquidity coverage ratio computation to the extent of incremental outstanding credit to NBFCs and HFCs."Get Breaking news,
