Let zero schemes finance growth, RBI

..........It is not the case that consumers are unaware that these financing schemes entail real costs on account of interest and documentation. They are aware that credit card-issuing banks charge a financing cost that product companies bear, to tempt consumers with "zero" offers. But this is not their concern. Nor should it be the RBI's. If the RBI is worried about the rates banks offer, it is welcome to examine the banks' books and ascertain if any rule is being violated............
