1 min readBlockingEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Non-financial corporations (non-SMEs): liabilities excluded from bail-in must equal the sum of its seven parts (Z 02.00.a, EBA rule v6482_m)

A blocking check in the resolution planning: organisation and liabilities return (RESOL1), on template Z 02.00.a, liability structure (LIAB).

The rule in plain words

For non-financial corporations (non-SMEs): liabilities excluded from bail-in must equal these seven added up:

  • Covered deposits
  • Secured liabilities - collateralized part
  • Client liabilities, if protected in insolvency
  • Fiduciary liabilities, if protected in insolvency
  • System (operator) and CCP liabilities < 7 days
  • Liabilities critical to operational daily functioning
  • DGS liabilities

EBA checks it for two columns: outstanding amount (0020) and outstanding amount (0030). That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

Outstanding Amount: Liabilities excluded from bail-in = Covered deposits + Secured liabilities - collateralized part + Client liabilities, if protected in insolvency + Fiduciary liabilities, if protected in insolvency + System (operator) and CCP liabilities < 7 days + Liabilities critical to operational daily functioning + DGS liabilities

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark Z 02.00 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A filing that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

Illustrative values
Covered deposits1,200
Secured liabilities - collateralized part800
Client liabilities, if protected in insolvency450
Fiduciary liabilities, if protected in insolvency300
System (operator) and CCP liabilities < 7 days150
Liabilities critical to operational daily functioning100
DGS liabilities60
Together3,060
What the rule then expects

Liabilities excluded from bail-in must then be 3,060.

3,060Passes
3,160Fails

A file that reports 3,060 passes. One that reports 3,160 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.

Show the rule as writtenShow

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

{Z_02.00.a,r0100,c0030,} = {Z_02.00.a,r0110,c0030,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0120,c0030,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0130,c0030,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0140,c0030,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0161,c0030,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0180,c0030,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0200,c0030,}

The next one:

{Z_02.00.a,r0100,c0020,} = {Z_02.00.a,r0110,c0020,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0120,c0020,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0130,c0020,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0140,c0020,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0161,c0020,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0180,c0020,} + {Z_02.00.a,r0200,c0020,}

Every RESOL1 rule, by template

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