RBI to issue small bank licences next month : Raghuram Rajan
  • 7 years ago
After granting approval to 11 entities for payments banks, RBI on Wednesday said it will announce small finance bank licences in September and dismiss that these new entities can pose any threat to existing banks. RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan said that new payments banks would not pose any competitive threat to the existing banks and these new entities would rather serve as 'feeder' for the universal banks. The RBI had received 72 applications for small finance bank licences and 41 applications for payment bank licences.
