RBI Directs Rating Agencies to Exclude It as Regulator in Bank Deposit Ratings
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has directed credit rating agencies to avoid naming it as the regulator in their ratings of bank deposits, following Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) rules requiring disclosure of the financial sector regulator. This move may lead rating agencies to stop issuing ratings on bank deposits, though RBI has not explicitly instructed them to do so or explained the reasons. Rating firms have sought guidance from SEBI amid concerns about potential deposit outflows and bank stability.
