To a query on whether the Centre will provide support to small finance banks and NBFCs, the FM said she will review their situation during the meeting.

Even as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has provided additional liquidity to the financial sector, NBFCs with below AAA grade investment rating are finding it hard to raise resources. Banks are seeking one time restructuring of loans and further liquidity infusion from the RBI to support them during the present downturn.
