8220;If between now and say October 20 or so, further steps are required to infuse liquidity, the governor has assured me he will keep a careful watch and take those steps.8221;
ON INDIAN BANKS
8220;I have always and already reassured depositors that their deposits are safe. You might ask me why I say that. I say that because our banks are well-capitalised, well-regulated. There is no need to worry about deposits.8221;

8220;The IIP numbers are not very satisfactory. At the same time they are not very right.8221;
8220;The IIP numbers are to be looked into more carefully. But please remember what happened to the IIP of July, they8217;ve revised it upwards to 7.4 per cent.8221;
8220;So it is possible IIP of August is low, I8217;m not denying that, But I think the IIP number should be taken as just one input.8221;
