It is sad but true that the Court has indicted among others the RBI, the regulator for having failed to monitor the NBFC of Sarada group in Kolkatta. Many a times, RBI pulls up bankers particularly the PSBs for having poor appraisal system of loans for the NPA woes. But, the same RBI has failed to pull up its own officers of DBOD and those on the Boards of these banks for having failed to deduct and take appropriate action on loans that have gone NPAs like that of King Fisher Airlines, Suzlon etc. Even now, RBI has not asked the banks as to why KFA has not been declared as a wilful defaulter. Even in Sahara case where KYC norms were violated (according to SEBI over 20000 addresses of depositors were not existent) the RBI has not raised a single question against it. It is dead silent about the case of Sahara. There are more questions to answer by the RBI.
