The requirement that a Loan Registration Number is obtained from SBP before ADs can register certain external loans should be eliminated
Reform IDF577
DescriptionBefore: Before ADs could register certain external loans on behalf of their clients, they were required to first obtain a Loan Registration Number (LRN) from SBP, a process that could take up to a month. This step was required even though ADs already reported all loans and related transfers to SBP monthly, making the prior-approval LRN a redundant bottleneck that delayed legitimate loan disbursements and interest payments.
