Of recapitalisation and resolution of NPAs

Description

Even as bail-in won't work in the Indian banking system, extra vigilance is called for to track the path of lending decisions. The Reserve Bank of India's governor, Urjit Patel, interacting with the press on December 6, mentioned the Centre's recapitalisation plan.
