Q28: When a bank identifies an MSME account as SMA-2, it must form a Committee to decide on a Corrective Action Plan (CAP). For a borrower with loans from a single bank, who constitutes this Committee?

A
The Branch Manager and the Zonal Manager.
B
The designated senior officer of the bank at the regional/zonal level.
C
A forum of lenders including all banks having exposure.
D
The external auditors and the borrower.
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Designated senior officer.
Concept Definition: The "Committee for Stressed Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises" is the authority responsible for approving the resolution plan.
Structural Breakdown: Consortium/Multiple Banking: The Committee includes representatives from all participating banks (JLF - Joint Lenders Forum structure). Sole Banking (Single Lender): Since there are no other banks to consult, the Committee consists of the designated senior officer at the next higher level (e.g., Regional or Zonal Office) to ensure an unbiased review of the Branch's proposal.
Causal Reasoning: This ensures that the decision to restructure or recover is not taken solely by the branch manager who might be biased, but involves higher-level oversight.
