RBI Updates Corporate Credit Card Rules and Raises Risk Weight Threshold for Unrated Loans

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has clarified that overdue reporting and asset classification for corporate credit cards under joint liability structures apply only to the corporate entity. Additionally, RBI raised the threshold for applying a 150% risk weight on unrated corporate and NBFC exposures to ₹500 crore from the earlier proposed ₹200 crore, easing Basel III capital charge norms effective April 2027. Other adjustments include uniform risk weights for unrated bank exposures and expanded regulatory retail exposure classifications.
