The Union Cabinet on September 16 approved government guarantees of up to Rs 30,600 crore for the issuance of security receipts from the National Property Restructuring Company Limited (NARCL). Security receipts represent an undivided right or interest on a financial asset. Typically, asset restructuring companies or bad banks buy unsecured assets with 15 percent cash and the remaining 85 percent security receipts.


According to FM, banks have recovered Rs 5,01,479 crore in the last six financial years. Out of this, Rs 3.1 lakh crore has been recovered since March 2018. Sitharaman said the government guarantee would give borrowers more confidence to sell their assets to NARCL.

Addressing a press conference in the national capital, FM said, "We are also setting up Bharat Debt Solutions Company Limited to manage non-performing assets (NPAs). The company will have a 49% stake in public sector banks (PSBs) and state-owned financial institutions." "Private sector banks will also have a stake," he said.


"Banks will be paid 15 percent cash for their toxic assets, 85 percent will have security receipts. Banks will have a backstop guarantee," FM said. Sitharaman said security receipts provide backstop funding, which will only be good for five years.


"There is an incentive for faster disposal of these non-performing assets," she said. The government guarantee offers to effectively differentiate between the face value and the actual value of security receipts issued by NARCL. If the actual value is higher than the face value, the profit will also be credited to the banks.


"Through the establishment of NARCL and many other steps taken in recent years, we have completely solved the problems facing the Indian banking sector, which was taking us away from the double balance sheet problem in 2015. Now we have a way to solve this problem. Stretched assets," FM said.


Financial Services Secretary Debashish Panda said the five-year limit would encourage banks not to drag the process, adding that NARCL has already been included as a company. He said NPAs worth Rs 90,000 crore would be transferred to NARCL in the first phase.


Earlier on September 15, the Union Cabinet had approved a proposal to give universal support to security receipts issued by NARCL. This will further boost the operations of NARCL.
