    The RBI's revised instructions, effective immediately, encompass Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs), State Cooperative Banks (StCBs), and Central Cooperative Banks (CCBs). This initiative aims to rectify and facilitate a smoother transition towards compliance with accounting standards (AS). The banks are required to recalibrate BDDR balances that were formerly adjusted against net profits, now reclassifying these as direct expenses by 31st March 2025.
