Framework for Domestic Systemically Important Banks

The Reserve Bank released the Framework for Handling Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) on July 22, 2014.
The D-SIB framework requires that, starting in 2015, the Reserve Bank disclose the names of banks that have been designated as D-SIBs and classify such institutions according to their Systemic Importance Scores (SISs).
According to RBI, a D-SIB must meet an additional common equity requirement based on the bucket in which it is categorised.
If a foreign bank with a presence in India has a branch and is a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB), it must maintain additional CET1 capital surcharge in India as required of it as a G-SIB, proportionate to its Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs) in India, i.e., additional CET1 buffer prescribed by the home regulator (amount) multiplied by India RWA as per consolidated global Group books divided by total consolidated.
