RBI Issues Draft Norms To Enable Banks To Fund Acquisitions
Kashmir Observer
|OCTOBER 25,2025 ISSUE
The Reserve Bank on Friday came out with draft norms to enable banks to fund acquisitions by Indian companies and raise the loan amount to individuals to purchase shares through IPOs and FPOs.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed to implement the rationalised norms from April 1, 2026, a move that will open up more funding avenues for corporates.
The central bank said the draft "Reserve Bank of India (Commercial Banks - Capital Market Exposure) Directions, 2025’ seeks to rationalise and consolidate the applicable regulations governing such exposures.
The central bank said Capital market exposures (CME) by regulated entities (REs) carry higher risk and are therefore subject to sectoral exposure limits, purpose-specific lending caps, and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.
It has invited comments on the draft from stakeholders by November 21, 2025.
