FAQ
Can an individual customer claim input tax credit on bank charges?
Input tax credit is generally available to GST-registered businesses using the service for business purposes; individual consumers not registered under GST cannot claim ITC on personal banking charges.
FAQ
Which risk category is usually the largest for a typical bank?
Credit risk is generally the largest for most commercial banks, since lending is their core activity, though market and operational risk can become dominant concerns for banks with large trading books or complex technology operations.
FAQ
Can a branch sanction any loan amount on its own?
No — branches operate within a delegated sanctioning power ceiling set by the bank's credit policy; proposals above that ceiling must be escalated to a higher sanctioning authority or committee.
FAQ
Does margin apply to all types of credit facilities?
Margin requirements typically apply to asset-backed and working-capital facilities where a physical or financial asset secures the loan; unsecured facilities are assessed differently, largely on cash flow and creditworthiness.
FAQ
Who decides which resolution plan is accepted?
The Committee of Creditors (CoC), made up primarily of financial creditors, votes on resolution plans; an approved plan then needs to be sanctioned by the NCLT to take legal effect.
