Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: NARCL has been incorporated under the Companies Act and has applied to the Reserve Bank of India for a license as an Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC). NARCL has been set up by banks to aggregate and consolidates stressed assets for their subsequent resolution. PSBs will maintain 51% ownership in NARCL.
Statement 2 Is incorrect: NARCL will pay up to 15% of the agreed value for the loans in cash and the remaining 85% would be securities receipts. The government will not have any direct equity contribution to NARCL. It will guarantee securities receipts issued by NARCL, which will buy bad loans from banks.
