Now, these have been modify the aforesaid formats in to three as under:

(i) Consumer Bureau: The label of the field ‘Written off and Settled status’ is modified as ‘Credit Facility Status’ and it will also have a new catalogue value, viz., ‘Restructured due to COVID-19’.

(iii) MFI Bureau: The existing field ‘Account status’ will have a new catalogue value, viz., ‘Restructured due to COVID-19’.

It has been stated that the modifications have been made to enable banks/AIFIs/NBFCs to report the information relating to restructured loans to CICs as per circular dated 06.08.2020 on the Resolution Framework for COVID-19 related stress
