LCR plan: Banks ask RBI to reduce 'run off' factor increase

In recent feedback to the RBI, banks have suggested that the regulator impose an additional "run-off factor" of 2% to 2.25% as against the 5% increase prescribed in a recent draft guideline, sources aware of the development told ET. "Some banks have also proposed a gradual increase of three years in maintaining the liquid stocks under the new LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio) norms. They have requested a similar proportion of requests for other categories," a banker said on condition of anonymity.
