How does the RBI play a role in assisting loan defaulters in India
Investigate the recent allegations made by Congress and the role of the RBI in helping loan defaulters.
- The Congress party has accused the RBI of working in the interest of corporates who have defaulted on loans and ignored the plight of farmers and small businesses who are struggling to survive.
- The RBI has been accused of being lenient towards defaulting companies and not taking stringent action to recover unpaid loans.
- It has been observed that some defaulting companies have been offered easy exit routes by the RBI in terms of one-time settlements, loan rescheduling, and restructuring.
- Congress has also accused the RBI of not publishing the names of wilful defaulters who owe large sums of money to Indian banks.
- The RBI maintains that it follows a transparent and accountable process in dealing with loan defaulters and that its actions follow a legal framework.
