6 August 2026 BANKING
The RBI has deferred the implementation of the revised Basel Pillar III disclosure framework for banks by 6 months, setting the new effective date for April 1, 2027. The decision was taken in response to implementation challenges raised by stakeholders.
The revised framework, applicable to Commercial Banks (CB), Small Finance Banks (SFB), and Payments Banks (PB), was initially scheduled for implementation by the quarter ending September 30, 2026. The RBI has aligned these disclosure requirements with the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) framework for capital charge for credit risk under the standardised approach, which is also effective from April 2027.
