Exposure to Real Estate Sector- Assessment of Group Risk

Reserve Bank of India has observed that some of the companies operating in the real estate sector have significant exposure in the form of advances, investments, etc. to their subsidiaries and other group or related entities.

In a notification dated September 24, 2009, RBI has advised banks to meticulously assess the inherent group risk of their borrowal accounts falling under the purview of real estate sector.

Further, while assessing the loan requirements of large builders/land developers, they may carefully analyse the financial credentials/viability of the borrowers on a consolidated basis supported by the consolidated accounts/position of the group.

Banks may also examine the financial credentials/viability of the relevant unconsolidated related entities such as Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).
