After the passage of the Banking Amendment Bill, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is expected to float final guidelines for the grant of banking licence’s to new players within the next four-six weeks. The RBI is keen to finalize new banking norms before the retirement of deputy governor Anand Sinha, who is in charge of the department of Banking Operations and Development at the central bank.
Further towards this development, most of the banking aspirants, including Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group, financial conglomerates Religare and Shriram groups, engineering-to-technology major L&T group and Aditya Birla group, have begun doing the groundwork. While, quite a few large corporate houses are even confident of meeting the regulatory framework despite some voices being raised in certain quarters about concerns of possible conflict of interest in case of industrial houses being given banking permits as it has the potential to create conflict of interests.
Meanwhile, the finance ministry is also currently in the process of sending its final comments to the RBI on the draft guidelines issued by the central bank on the matter, after which the final guidelines should be made public. The RBI is already in the process of gathering the comments received from various stakeholders on the draft guidelines.
