The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday __(1)__ its 24 April-circular which mandated banks to disclose their exposure to Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd (IL&FS), and its group entities, in their notes to financial statements. This comes after the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) last week allowed banks to __(2)__ defaulting loans of IL&FS and its group companies as bad loans. “In view of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal’s (NCLAT) order dated May 2, 2019 in respect of Company Appeal (AT) No. 346 of 2018 and I.A. No. 1139 of 2019, the instructions __(3)__ in the above mentioned circular stand withdrawn,” the central bank said in a notification on Wednesday.

These banks, RBI had said, must also reveal the provisions required to be made and the __(5)__ actually made by the banks. On 25 February, NCLAT had said that owing to non-payment of dues by Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services (IL&FS) or its subsidiaries, no financial institution will declare the accounts as NPA without the prior approval of the appellate tribunal. The central bank had appealed against this order.
