Commercial banks and Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs) are considering joining hands to standardise the process for auction of stressed assets in the banking sector, a move which may help revive the secondary market for bad loans. Since the ARCs have come into the scene just five years ago, there are no standardised procedures. Each bank pursues its own strategy to sell bad loans, while RBI norms only talk about provisioning norms on the sale of bad loans.
A committee of banks and ARCs led by Mr. Umarji, a legal advisor to the Indian Bank Association is working on a standard deed of assignment.
UCO Bank, United Bank of India and Allahabad Bank are in the market now to auction their bad loans while Central Bank of India is planning to sell off some of its stressed assets soon.
