Mr. Raja Bhushan began by informing the students about what capital adequacy is and what norms commercial banks have to follow under RBI regulations. He told the students that Capital Adequacy Ratio is the ratio of a bank’s capital in relation to its risk weighted assets and current liabilities, decided by the central bank. It is important because it prevents commercial banks from becoming insolvent by taking excess leverage.

Mr. Raja Bhushan further explained the breakdown of the elements in the capital adequacy ratio (CAR). Capital is broken down into 3 tiers, the total of which becomes the numerator in the ratio. Risk weighted assets take into account credit risk, market risk, and operational risk. According to RBI norms, Indian scheduled commercial banks are required to maintained a CAR of 9% while public sector banks are emphasized to maintain a CAR of 12%.
