Moody’s Investors Service today said, the draft bill on resolution of financial firms is credit positive for banks as it is an important step to having a comprehensive framework in place for stressed financial firms.
After enacting a bankruptcy code for time-bound settlement of insolvency cases in non-financial firms, the finance ministry last month released a draft bill to set up a resolution corporation to address similar issues among financial firms.
"Currently, the resolution of financial firms in India is based on minor parts of legislation enacted for other purposes," says Srikanth Vadlamani, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Credit Officer.
"This bill is therefore a credit positive for Indian banks in terms of enhancing overall systemic stability."
