Fixed overhead requirement cannot be less than 0.25 times annual fixed overheads of the previous year after distribution of profits (EBA rule v11137_m)

A check in the investment firms, class 3 return (IFR class 3), on template I 03.01, fixed overheads requirement calculation (Class 3 IF).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 10 June 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

Fixed overhead requirement cannot be less than 0.25 times annual fixed overheads of the previous year after distribution of profits.

All the values are in the amount column (0010) of I 03.01.
