Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) Framework

PCA stands for Prompt Corrective Action. After the financial results of the banks in 2017-18, the government formed a committee to restructure the assets of these banks. Apart from this, 11 out of 21 public sector banks are under the purview of PCA due to rising losses and sinking debt. Prompt Corrective Action is a US federal law mandating progressive penalties against banks that exhibit progressively deteriorating capital ratios.

After coming under the purview of this framework-
  • These banks cannot extend branch.
  • RBI can prevent them from making dividend payment.
  • Many conditions can be imposed by RBI even if these banks give loans.
  • The Reserve Bank of India can take action to consolidate, reorganize and close these banks.
  • RBI may impose restrictions on management compensation and directors fees of these banks.
