The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 29 Jun 2020The government’s recourse to an ordinance to empower the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to supervise urban cooperative banks is pragmatic. A robust supervision framework of banking operations, on par with that for other banks, will reduce problems. UCBs have played a useful role in spreading the reach of formal finance to the unbanked, but were considered too small to create any systemic harm and consigned to regulatory neglect. Further, state governments were loath to give up their control over co-op banks. The outcome: failures have become routine due to poor corporate governance and inability to detect frauds, leaving scores of depositors at risk.
