This model was standing on the \u2018incurred-loss\u2019 model, and this delayed identification created intractable problems of risks. This new ECL framework improvises this loan system by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Identifying risk early<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raising transparency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Positioning India with global standards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impact-on-financial-activities\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Impact on Financial Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the introduction of this system, the financial behaviour of the individual will be continuously monitored and a default will cause more harm to the credit profile than it was before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Possibility of Costlier Loans: <\/strong>Banks are now advised to set aside funds in advance for potential loan losses increasing capital pressure on banks, and hence will increase the overall cost of lending. Resulting in,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rise in interest rates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Variability of price loans based on the risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Getting Loan Approvals will be difficult than before:<\/strong> Analysis of risk will be \u2018predictive\u2019 and not \u2018reactive\u2019 in nature, hence loan approvals might become difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More stringent eligibility background checks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus on income stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced approvals for risky profiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Credit Score becomes Indispensable factor:<\/strong> Banks will have to track payment delays, downgrading of credit, and assess financial stress signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintaining a strong credit score becomes important<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Directly linked to borrowing ability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Faster Penalty for Late Payments:<\/strong> As the stress is detected early, missing a single EMI could have quicker consequences than before, for example, the loans may move to higher risk categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Better Safety for Your Savings: <\/strong>By assessing the risk early banks will maintain stronger balance sheets and bad loans are expected to be mitigated. This improves,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Safer deposits for individuals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mitigation of possibilities of bank crises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.
