RBI gives enough time to institutions

He said, “RBI works with institutions on a bilateral basis. Encourages them to comply with the rules by giving them adequate time. Action at the monitoring level is taken only when necessary steps are not taken by the concerned entity. “When the regulated entity (banks and NBFCs) does not take effective action, we can take steps to impose restrictions on functioning,” Das said. He said that the action has been taken keeping in mind the stability at the system level or the protection of the interests of depositors or customers.

RBI will issue FAQ

Governor Das reiterated the central bank's commitment to promoting innovation in the financial sector. He said there should be 'no doubt' about this. He said that RBI has received a wide response from the people. The central bank will issue FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) next week to address concerns.
