The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has implemented new regulations governing one-time settlements (OTS), simplifying instructions across all regulated entities. Under the guidelines, the RBI calls for regulated entities to establish board-approved policies to set out the procedure, precedent and a graded framework for staff accountability. The authority responsible for settling must be at least one level higher than the body responsible for sanctioning the loan, and no approval will go to an official that was part of the loan sanctioning process.
