RBI paper on banking structure - Dr.S.S.Tarapore

........The present columnist has been an early advocate of allowing industrial houses to apply for bank licences. Memories of the pre-nationalisation period, when industrial houses dominated the banking scene, are no longer relevant, as there are concentration ratios and prohibition on connected lending, which would prevent earlier malpractices from re- emerging. In the upshot, it would appear that political economy considerations will prevail and the actual granting of licences will take place only after May 2014...........
