9,00,00,00,00,000 extra burden on govt due to Basel III

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has estimated that the government will have to infuse Rs 70,000 crore to Rs 90,000 crore capital into government-owned banks to comply with the prudential guidelines under Basel III. KC Chakrabarty, Deputy Governor of RBI, said: “The government has an annual budget of Rs 15 lakh crore and recapitalisation of banks to the extent of Rs 20,000 crore a year is not a tall order. It can be done. The only problem arises if there is a big demand for credit in the economy.”............
