Q15: What is the transition rule for a D-SIB whose Systemic Importance Score (SIS) falls below the threshold for its current bucket?

A
It is moved to a lower bucket immediately in the next monthly report.
B
It must stay in its current bucket for at least two consecutive years of lower scores before a downward transition is permitted.
C
It is allowed an immediate 50% reduction in its capital surcharge.
D
The bank is removed from the D-SIB list immediately.
✅ Correct Answer: B
To ensure stability in capital planning and avoid volatility, the RBI requires a bank's score to stay in a lower range for two consecutive years before permitting a downward bucket shift.
This prevents frequent reclassification of a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB).
