National, Wednesday, April 28, 2021 (GNI): Owing to the uncertainty created by the second wave of the pandemic, Businesses & Financial institutions have already or may approach RBI for Restructuring of loan accounts to avoid a looming threat of NPAs. Recasting SMA 1 & SMA 2 (nonstandard) accounts and expanding the scope of SMA to accommodate accounts that are default for more than 90 days are some of CREDAI’s long standing demands and in the wake of severe 2nd wave of pandemic, must be allowed on priority.  Shortage of funds and reluctance of banks & other financial institutions to lend to real estate sector are hindering the revival of the real estate sector. Government must proactively direct banks to extend extra credit under ECLGS Scheme to RE sector & to implement the infrastructure status already given affordable housing projects. Banks, NBFCs & HFCs must ensure that none of the eligible projects face liquidity crisis and avail funds at much lower interest rates, stated in the press release.
