The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in India plays an important role in setting the regulatory framework for the legal and fair functioning of Direct assignment business.
The stakeholders involved in a direct assignment deal, namely the Buyers (Investors) and Originators (original owners of the loan portfolio), must both comply and adapt to the same.
The challenge with compliance arises when the direct assignment business is carried out in a manual environment.
A manual environment is either the absence of automated technology infrastructure or the minimum usage of legacy IT systems to handle loan operations and workflows.

What is the importance of compliance in Direct Assignment?
In a Direct Assignment deal, the originator is responsible for operational matters because loan management processes are carried out on behalf of the buyer.
While the buyer is not directly involved in managing loan operations, they shoulder the credit risk of the loan portfolio.
Hence, the activities carried out by the originator on their behalf directly affect their profitability and reputation.
What are the regulations to comply with?
Some regulations to be complied with include:
Minimum Retention Requirement (MRR),
True Sale Criteria
Reporting & Disclosure Requirements and
Prudential norms
The regulations changes may involve changes/additions to:
Reporting standards
Risk assessment criteria and
Procedural aspects
Challenges faced in complying with changing statutory regulations
