According to the RBI, the existing exposures limits for single and group borrowers should be revised by the banks as per the new exposure limits by 31 March 2023. The new limits will also apply to all fresh loans.

While those UCBs which do not aligns with above conditions at present should comply with these norms by 31 March 2024.
