“We expect the capitalisation profile of the PSBs to further become worse, unless the government givesextra capital assist,” Moody’s said.
Moody’s estimates that 11 banks will need capital of Rs.1.2 trillion by the yr 2020 as against the Rs.45,000 crore the authorities has planned for in its finances.
Public region banks have been reeling below a huge stockpile of awful loans. This stockpile has grown after an asset nice evaluation performed with the aid of the Reserve financial institution of India in Decemberpressured the banks to understand visibly pressured debts as bad.
