Guys, as per SEBI's order of minimum public shareholding of 25% for all companies, the Coal India auction should have attracted non-Public sector comanies. Then why did LIC buy so much stake. Does, this mean other PSUs buying stake will be counted as Public shareholding?
I am contemplating between waiting for "India Yearbook 2015" and buying the 2014 edition (both by Information and Broadcasting ministry). When will the 2015 edition will be out? Or is it OK to go with 2014 edition? Is there any upside to choosing the most latest edition?
"Going by the consistency of his arguments & that of his subordinates, & the way RBI has managed the monetary policy so far, I would say RBI is a heaven & Dr. Rajan a God. I would love to be a messenger of RBI & serve there." Hows that for a WHY RBI ?

Do you follow news related to economics? Questions on payment and small bank? Why are players interested in getting into this segment? What are the requirements? Why not in normal banking domain? Can you tell the specific reason?

Guys, what really is the incentive for corporates to invest in small banks if there are only limited services, poor connectivity, illiteracy, etc. What do you expect the rate of lending to be in small banks that are about to be licensed ??

A real good question that comes to my mind & I don't have a solution to it is, why BANK RATE = MSF ??
Q: Why is RBI discouraging "refinance" & pushing for system wide repo windows? What kind of distortions can the market face with refinance that it won't with repo window??
what are the effects of falling rupee on the economy?
How many of you are working in a Bank/NBFC/RRB/other Financial institutions??

hey guys...interview was on the 4th in delhi.....asked questions from biodata, home state, personal life, general HR etc. It was a mixed bag. The interview seemed very standard and thoughtful. All in all, respect for RBI has surged manifolds. My advice will be to remain calm and composed and you will easily sail through. Thanks to all on the forum for being so co-operative throughout this small journey. May the deserving ones get through.
Have read so much that its now overflowing like niagara falls, yet it seems insufficient in front of those stalwarts. I guess the war is really with one's self.
Sorry guys for being late in sharing my interview experience. This is how it went...... There r six panelists, as u r already aware of. Sardarji is sitting right in front of u, 2 are to ur right and 3 to ur left. They are not really interested in long pleasantries. A simple good morning paves the way for the serious business. They started with questions on my hobbies. Sardarji in particular seemed more interested in it. Then they asked a few questions about banking. A few questions on balance sheet and finished with hr questions like y rbi, y u etc? The atmosphere is great. U dont realise that u r being played till u reach home and introspect. My advice is that focus on bio data first and on everything else later. Mine lasted some good 20 minutes and it seems to have gone well. There were candidates before me whose interviews were wrapped up in less than 10 minutes. So all the best guys, be confident.
P.S: I tried to make them ask me what I wanted them to ask me but they were too smart for my naive honey traps.
When is the last interview?
My Interview is on 11 Feb ........din't wrote anything under hobby extracurricular in Biodata form. .........😂
Many many congratulations to AAP for their success. It shws people have undrstood d reality n akhirkar hawa ka rukh change kar hi diya!!!!!!!!!!!! Hip hip hurrah 5 saal kejriwal
