RBI issues prompt corrective action framework for urban cooperative banks
The RBI has issued a (PCA) prompt corrective action framework for urban cooperative banks with an aim to enabling supervisory intervention at an appropriate time.
The objective of the PCA Framework is to enable supervisory intervention at an appropriate time and require the UCBs to initiate and implement remedial measures promptly, to restore their financial health.
The provisions of the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) Framework for Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks (UCBs) will be effective from April 1, 2025.

The SAF was last revised in January 2020.
"This PCA framework shall replace the SAF," the RBI said in a statement. The revised framework seeks to provide flexibility to design entity-specific supervisory action plans based on the assessment of risks on a case-by-case basis.
"The framework has been suitably harmonized with similar frameworks applicable for Scheduled Commercial Banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies, with suitable modifications keeping in mind the underlying principle of proportionality," it said.

"The revised framework is expected to give more focus on the larger UCBs requiring more intensive monitoring by optimal utilization of supervisory resources," it added.
Capital, asset quality, and profitability will be the key areas for monitoring in the revised PCA Framework. The framework will apply to all UCBs except the small ones (Tier 1 UCBs).
