determining the FSWM status of a UCB? Direction (11 to 13):- Read the following information to answer the questions below: Given the heterogeneity in the cooperative sector, a tiered regulatory framework was required to balance the spirit of mutuality and co-operation more prevalent in banks of smaller sizes and those with limited area of operation vis-à-vis the growth ambitions of the large-sized Urban Cooperative Banks to spread their area of operation and undertake more complex business activities. The Reserve Bank of India had constituted the Expert Committee on Urban Co-operative Banks to examine the issues in urban cooperative banking sector and to review regulatory/ supervisory approach for strengthening the sector. Based on the recommendations of the Expert Committee, RBI had released the Revised Regulatory Framework for Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs) on July 19, 2022. Accordingly, it was decided to adopt a four-tiered regulatory framework, as against the then existing two-tiered framework, for categorization of UCBs. Going forward, this categorization would be used for differentiated regulatory prescriptions aimed at strengthening the financial soundness of the UCBs.

A CRAR at least 1 percentage point above the minimum CRAR applicable

B Net profit for at least three out of the preceding four years

C Compliance with RBI directives/guidelines during the last two financial years

D At least one professional director on the Board

E Net NPA of not more than 3%
