MUMBAI – Investments made by all-India financial institutions in long-term bonds and debentures issued by non-financial companies will not be counted for the 25?iling on the 'held-to-maturity' category, the Reserve Bank of India said in a notification Monday.
The notification specified that debt instruments having a minimum residual maturity of three years will be considered 'long-term'. The current regulations require that the 'held-to-maturity' portfolio of all RBI-regulated all-India financial institutions should not exceed 25% of the entity's total investments.
The amended regulation applies to the Export-Import Bank of India, the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development, the National Housing Bank and the Small Industries Development Bank of India, the notification said. End
