All about Corporate Debt Restructuring: Sapient Services CDR is a debt restructuring process that was introduced by the RBI in 2011, with the objective of improving the overall financial health of banks. It allows banks to review their existing asset quality and balance sheet performances over a period of three years, and decide on whether they should restructure their loans or not.
The process involves five steps: ● ●
A formal request for credit review mechanism (CRM) is submitted by an entity to its bank/financial institution; this is called a "pre-proposal" or "formal application". The CRM Cell at RBI reviews this pre-proposal before issuing final approval for it under two conditions: (i) if there are no grounds for rejection in respect of any material aspect; and (ii) if it does not produce any adverse impact on public interest.
There are several terms used to describe corporate debt restructuring. These include: ●
