Our system/Banks/Govt are all so lenient on big borrowers/defaulters. Take no action to recover. Start crying when it is too late. Mallya like people freely enjoying life and roaming in abroad. more

In our Bharat BRB(RBI) is the controlling authority and policy maker. It conducts interim/regular/surprise inspections - especially all the head offices of the banks/FIs. Such being the case is RBI not responsible to assess the creditworthiness of big borrowers availing consortium loans/multiple loans? Why not RBI is giving alarm signals to banks and finance ministry when the appointment of CEO/MD/ED is done by the FM and all the big loans are approved/sanctioned by boards of banks where one of the directors represents RBI? When the loans become sticky/bad only the Financing Banks are brought to light and not the RBI. more

There is leniency towards the influential businessmen when it comes to recovery of their loan (a. la 9,000 Cr). These are wilful defaulters (who are taking loans and enjoying at the cost of the tax payer's money). Sentence them to Rigorous imprisonment and attach all their assets. Do it for a couple of them and the others will fall in line. more

Bank loans should be sanctioned strictly on financial merit without fear or favour. The sanctioning authority should be held responsible for sanctioning or denying a loan and his role be scrutinised by a bank ombudsman. more
