The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked banks to provide sector-wise details of their non-performing assets (NPAs) and exposures in the balance sheets from this fiscal.
The banks have also been asked to furnish details of any special purpose vehicles (SPVs) sponsored by the banks.
According to analysts, the move would bring in more transparency in the banks' operations.
"It has been decided to prescribe the following additional disclosures in the 'notes to accounts' in the banks' balance sheets...(like) concentration of deposits, advances, exposures and NPAs, sector-wise NPAs, overseas assets, NPAs and revenue, off-balance sheet SPVs sponsored by banks," the RBI said in an statement.
Banks would have to follow the format from the year ending March 31, 2010, the RBI said.
