Why in the news

Banks pulled back from NBFC lending even after the RBI eased its stricter risk-weight rules.

  • Unsecured loans are closely watched.
  • Private banks have begun passing on the rate cut; PSBs lag.

  • Growing reliance on bond markets.

Exam angle

  • Repo cut in April 2025: 50 bps.
  • Benchmark PSBs did not lower: MCLR.
