    Solution

    An NBFC under PCA framework, caused by triggering the first threshold, will be restricted on dividend distribution, promoters will be asked to infuse capital and reduce leverage. The RBI will also restrict issuance of guarantees or taking other contingent liabilities on behalf of group companies, in case of core investment companies. After hitting risk threshold 2, the NBFC will be prohibited from opening branches, while on risk threshold 3, capital expenditure will be stopped, other than for technological upgradation.
