New Delhi: The Centre is likely to consider capital infusion for the public sector banks (PSBs) in the upcoming Budget, and it has reportedly kept aside approximately Rs 25,000 crore in the FY22 budget for providing fund to state-controlled run banks.
Worth mentioning here is that the proposed plan assumes significance as fund infusion will boost state-owned banks as the pandemic has put borrowers under pressure, rising the threat of higher non-performing assets (NPAs).
