RBI proposes review of all bank licences on 'fit & proper' norms

20 May 2013 Evaluate

Following the Cobrapost expose that alleged money laundering by banks, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed a review of all banking licences from the ‘fit and proper’ angle, which involves assessment of the promoters, management, CEOs, even for the existing banks. 

The issues raised by the Cobrapost sting operation include inter-connectedness among entities forming part of a banking conglomerate, with insurance, mutual funds and brokerage arms in its ambit. The central bank noted that the review is necessary to ensure that an arm’s length is maintained from these various operations, to avoid a systemic risk. However, by adding further it said, this is a judgmental call and the decision needs to be taken after due deliberations.

Moreover, the RBI also suggested for taking up the issue at the Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC) or its sub-committee, so that it can be approached in a holistic manner, after getting feedback from other regulatory agencies.  Meanwhile, the RBI has completed the investigation into the working of banks and has revealed various discrepancies in banking operations, including non-compliance of KYC norms and fictitious PAN cards.
