RBI Sets Rs 25,000 Crore Threshold for New Derivative Risk Measurement Rules
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has finalized new rules for banks to measure counterparty credit risk from derivatives, effective April 1, 2027. Banks with an international presence or derivative exposure of Rs 25,000 crore or more must adopt the Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR). Smaller banks can choose between SA-CCR and the existing Current Exposure Method (CEM). The RBI introduced this Rs 25,000 crore threshold after stakeholder feedback and retained the implementation date aligned with Basel III compliance.
