RBI issues guidelines on revised leverage ratio framework, effective April 1, 2027

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued the Eleventh Amendment Directions, 2026, to the Reserve Bank of India (Commercial Banks – Prudential Norms on Capital Adequacy) Directions, introducing the revised leverage ratio framework known as the “Leverage Ratio 2017 Standard”.

The final directions follow a draft released on August 7, 2026, for which stakeholder feedback was invited until August 28, 2026. The RBI reviewed the feedback received and incorporated suitable modifications into the final guidelines.

The revised instructions will come into effect from April 1, 2027, and aim to align the leverage ratio framework for commercial banks with the latest standards issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
