Swaminathan Janakiraman, Managing Director (Risk, Compliance and Stressed Assets Resolution Group (SARG), SBI, told BusinessLine that the bank was putting together a policy framework for the same. “We are putting together a board-approved policy framework for implementation of pre-pack among our MSME corporate customers. Over the next 4-6 weeks, we will start implementation and much would depend on how the ongoing second wave of Covid-19 plays out,” said Janakiraman. He made it clear that SBI would like to have multiple tools for resolving stress and that PPIRP cannot be a one-size fits all solution for the bank.
