Bombay HC rules public banks can t issue LOCs against defaulters. Verdict quashes all circulars. Centre s 2018 amendment allowed banks to issue LOCs in economic interest of India , but HC deems it unconstitutional.
Bangladesh Bank (BB) has asked all the returning officers to provide information about the candidates in the second phase of the Upazila Parishad election to prevent loan defaulters from becoming candidates.
Many laws governing the banking industry have also evolved to accommodate rapid changes that are driving innovation at breakneck speed. However, some attitudes among bankers and regulators have lagged behind, and don t reflect the digital age. One such laggard is the wilful defaulter label. This classification is unique to India among all big economies, and it defies logic in the era of data analytics and AI. A wilful defaulter is a borrower with enough money but isn t repaying banks. The dubious category also includes those that siphoned funds and left businesses high and dry.
