Line4

1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 13 September 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Outstanding Principal amount cannot be negative (EBA rule v903563_s)

A check in the resolution planning: organisation and liabilities return (RESOL1), on template Z 14.00, other financial liabilities (not included in other tabs, excluding intragroup).

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 13 September 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

Outstanding Principal amount cannot be negative.

EBA writes it out four 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}.

{Z_14.00,,c0090,} >= 0

And 3 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

Every RESOL1 rule, by template

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