Allahabad Bank is keen on restructuring accounts of micro finance institutions (MFIs) for a second time and it is for promoters to come up with a solution, an official of the bank said.
“The bank will not write off the MFI accounts. But we are keen to do a second round of restructuring,” the official said.
The official said that for the first year, the assets would be treated as non-performing, and would be upgraded to standard asset after accounts start performing.
“Lending to MFIs is not the bank’s core business. It is up to the promoters to come up with a solution. We are there as far as second restructuring is concerned,” he added.
