Central government is planning to privatize public sector banks. In this case, the Reserve Bank of India has warned that privatization of public sector banks is more dangerous than good.
Privatization of public sector banks has both advantages and disadvantages. This thesis states that there is ample evidence that public sector banks are not solely profit driven.
Therefore, the RBI report recommends that the government should take a step-by-step approach in privatizing public sector banks to achieve the goal of making financial services available to all.
After the report sparked a debate on social media, the RBI clarified that the report was prepared by RBI analysts and the views expressed in the report were not those of the RBI.
