What is the ASM Mechanism?
The Agency for Specialized Monitoring (ASM) is a regulatory framework under which banks appoint external agencies to monitor the activities of large borrowers—especially accounts with sanctioned credit limits above prescribed thresholds.
The ASM’s primary objectives are to track fund flow, ensure compliance with lending conditions, and detect stress or diversion at an early stage. It serves as a critical tool for lenders to maintain credit discipline and strengthen asset quality management.
