The administration's financing needs swarm out different borrowers, and state-possessed banks represent around 70% of India's monetary resources … .

" The Economist, April 12, 2008

" If America's subprime emergency shows the pitfalls of unencumbered fund, India outlines the inverse peril. Since its controllers get censured just for disasters, not for lost development and squandered open doors, they are excessively moderate. ... New thoughts are prohibited unless unequivocally allowed. This helps controllers feel more secure, however it does little for the framework's steadiness. … .For instance, organizations are banned from guessing in subsidiaries, yet many have done as such in any case. Those that have lost cash now refer to the very guidelines they crushed as motivation to spirit out of their commitments, saying they ought not pay for mix-ups they were not authoritatively permitted to make."
