RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan On Bad Loans

Twenty-eight state-owned banks wrote off a total of Rs 1.14 lakh crore of bad debts between financial years 2013 and 2015 but the answer to who approves such write-offs depends on which bank you are asking. The Indian Express filed Right to Information (RTI) applications with 28 public sector banks (PSBs) and one of the questions it asked was who had the final say in writing off loans to the tune of Rs 100 crore or more as non-performing assets (NPAs).
