1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Central bank eligible cannot be more than total unencumbered assets (EBA rule v2954_m)

A check in the asset encumbrance return (AE), on template F 36.01.c, asset encumbrance: Advance template for assets of the reporting institution (c).

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

Central bank eligible cannot be more than total unencumbered assets.

All the values are in the non financial corporations column (0130) of F 36.01.c.

EBA writes it out 18 times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

{F_36.01.c,r0220,c0130,} <= {F_36.01.c,r0210,c0130,}

And 17 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
