The rule in plain words
Eligible amount without transitional provisions cannot be negative.
EBA checks it for five rows: capital instruments and items that do not qualify as minority interests, transitional recognition in consolidated own funds of minority interests, transitional recognition in consolidated own funds of qualifying additional Tier 1 capital, transitional recognition in consolidated own funds of qualifying Tier 2 capital, and deferred tax assets that are dependent on future profitability and arise from temporary differences and CET1 instruments of financial sector. That makes five checks. A failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 05.01 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Transitional recognition in consolidated own funds of qualifying additional Tier 1 capital, eligible amount without transitional provisions must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
