About SIBs:

SIBs are subjected to higher levels of supervision so as to prevent disruption in financial services in the event of any failure.
The Reserve Bank had issued the framework for dealing with D-SIBs in July 2014.
The D-SIB framework requires the central to disclose the names of banks designated as D-SIBs starting from 2015 and place these lenders in appropriate buckets depending upon their Systemic Importance Scores (SISs).
SIBs are seen as ‘too big to fail (TBTF)’, creating the expectation of government support for them in times of financial distress. These banks also enjoy certain advantages in funding markets.
