New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has allowed banks to revise the additional liability on account of revision in family pension in 5 years starting from 2021-22, following a request from the IBA. RBI said that banks will have to disclose the accounting policy to be followed for financial statements in this regard.
This exemption was given after the request of the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA). It has been told that it will be difficult for some banks to arrange a large amount of liability in respect of revision of family pension in a year.

The family pension of employees of banks was revised as part of the 11th Bilateral Settlement and Joint Note dated November 11, 2020. RBI stated that the issues were examined from regulatory point of view and as an exceptional case, it has been decided that the banks coming under the aforesaid settlement may take a number of major actions in the matter.
