Will speak to RBI governor on urgency of PMC depositors: Sitharaman

India TV News  

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday promised to bring in legislative changes for upholding of interests of PMC Bank customers. Addressing a press conference, Sitharaman said secretaries from the department of financial services and economic affairs will be meeting a deputy governor of RBI soon to look into the "shortcomings" of the functioning of multi-state cooperative banks and see if any amendments can be made to the laws. Last month, the PMC Bank was put under "directions" by the Reserve Bank of India due to weak financial health, wherein the central bank has capped the deposit withdrawals at Rs 25,000. Hinting at other measures like steps to improve exports, easing credit, making more money available by early repayments to vendors and front-loading of banks recapitalisation, Sitharaman said the government has been working on sector-specific measures. Her comments came hours after global rating agency Moody's Investors Service sharply cut its FY20 GDP growth forecast for India to 5.8 per cent.
