    Credit Loss (ECL) model for banks, how should the transitional adjustment amount be treated at the time of adopting the ECL framework?
    A It should be deducted from the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) capital. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C It should be added back to the CET 1 capital. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D It should be treated as a separate provision and accounted for independently. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The treatment of the transitional adjustment amount is not specified. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The transitional adjustment amount represents the difference between: • Provisions computed under the extant incurred loss-based provisioning norms, and • Provisions required under the newly proposed Expected Credit Loss (ECL) framework, net of tax effects. As per the RBI’s discussion paper: • This transitional adjustment amount will be added back to the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) capital. • The relief is temporary and will be phased out over a maximum of five years, though banks may choose a shorter transition period. • This approach provides banks with capital adequacy relief during the initial years of implementation, ensuring a smoother transition to the ECL model. Thus, the recommended treatment is to add back the transitional adjustment amount to CET 1 capital.
