The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prescribed a four-tier regulatory structure for urban cooperative banks (UCBs). The regulator has stipulated a minimum net worth of ₹2 crore for tier one UCBs operating in a single district and ₹5 crore for all other UCBs of all tiers. RBI also retained the minimum capital adequacy ratio requirement for tier one banks at the present level of 9%. For urban cooperative banks of all other tiers, while retaining the current capital adequacy framework, RBI said it has decided to revise the minimum capital adequacy ratio to 12% to strengthen their capital structure. In February 2021, RBI constituted the committee headed by former deputy governor N S Vishwanathan to examine issues in the urban cooperative banking sector, provide a medium-term road map and suggest measures for faster resolution of UCBs, among others.
