· RBI Governor on Thursday
called on Finance Minister as the central bank and the government seek to
quickly put in place a broad-based 6-member panel — the Monetary Policy
Committee (MPC) which is being set up to decide on lending rates instead of the
present practice of RBI Governor taking a call in this regard. MPC will set
interest rates by a majority, with a casting vote for the governor in the case
of a tie. Out of the six members of MPC, three will be from RBI — the Governor,
who will be the ex-officio chairman, a deputy Governor and an executive
director. The other three members will be appointed by the government on
recommendations of a search-cum-selection committee, which will be headed by
the Cabinet Secretary. http://goo.gl/mx94xc

The stressed assets problem
affecting the banking sector is still not over and the menace will continue for

because the numbers we have taken are basically on the fund- based part but the
non-fund based part also gets converted subsequent to classification," SBI
