The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Tuesday announced a key relaxation for exposures under the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) 5.0. Specifically, 75% of the guaranteed portion will attract a 0% risk weight, and the remaining exposure will be assigned a 20% risk weight in line with existing norms. RBI clarified that the zero-risk treatment applies to the portion where banks expect settlement within 30 days of invoking the guarantee.
