The RBI permitted banks to use the government securities equal to their incremental outstanding credit to the NBFCs, over and above their outstanding credit to them as on October 19, to be used to meet liquidity coverage ratio requirements.

The move will help provide liquidity to housing finance companies (HFCs) and non-banking finance companies (NBFCs), which have come under pressure following series of default by IL&FS group companies.
