Explanation:

The inter-creditor agreement gives more powers to the lead lender in a consortium and allows a resolution plan to be approved if 66 percent of the banks in the group agree to it.

The inter-creditor agreement is aimed at the resolution of loan accounts with a size of ?50 crore and above that are under the control of a group of lenders.

In a bid to ensure swift resolution of non-performing assets, around 22 public sector banks (including India Post Payments Bank), 19 private lenders and 32 foreign banks on Monday signed the inter-creditor agreement (ICA) to fast track the resolution of stressed assets.

It is part of the “Sashakt” plan approved by the government to address the problem of resolving bad loans.
