With a view to strengthening the supervision and regulation of commercial banks, urban cooperative banks and non-banking financial companies, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) board has decided to create a specialised supervisory and regulatory cadre within the RBI, the central bank said, in a statement on May 21, 2019. This move assumes significance at a time when non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) are facing severe liquidity crunch in the wake of the IL&FS crisis. The decision to create a specialised supervisory and regulatory cadre within the RBI was taken at the meeting of the central board of the apex bank, headed by Governor Shaktikanta Das. It was the 576th meeting of the RBI central board.
