Banks globally have to comply with the Basel III norms so as to improve and strengthen their capital planning processes.
These norms are being implemented to mitigate concerns on potential stresses on asset quality and consequential impact on performance and profitability of banks post the global sub-prime crisis of 2008 that hit the banking industry hard.
Indian banking system has been implementing Basel III standards in phases since April 1, 2013. The banks are expected to fully implement these norms by March 2019.
This will align full implementation of Basel III in India closer to the internationally agreed date of January 1, 2019.
United Bank of India shares closed 0.29 per cent down at Rs 17.25 apiece on BSE today.
