【New Delhi】Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan on the 7th of May warned against excessive banking regulation, saying this may lead to activities shifting to a shadow financial system.
Delivering the K B Lall Memorial Lecture at the Nehru Memorial Library in New Delhi, he also suggested a "definite slowdown" in branch expansion by foreign banks in the country could be because of regulations, among other reasons.
Rajan said: "What happens when you put pressure on one side of a balloon? It balloons out on the other side. So is there a danger that by regulating the banks so strongly, we have shifted the activity - not just risky activity but human capital - to a shadow banking system."

Addressing at a convocation in Shiv Nadar University at Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, he said making it easier for Dalits to start businesses would be more effective in bringing about social equality than any affirmative action in India.

○Finance Ministry seeks access to big borrowers' database, RBI denies permission
【New Delhi】The government and the central bank are in another dispute — this time over access to a database of borrowers with loans exceeding Rs 5 crore.
The finance ministry has asked the Reserve Bank of India to provide information on all such borrowers. The ministry says this is to monitor the process of sanctioning loans, among other reasons. The information is contained in the Central Repository of Information on Large Credits, which was set up by RBI as one of the measures to prevent borrowers from gaming the system while seeking loans. Reserve Bank has not shared this information with the ministry.
