The unanticipated RBI action followed by the tanking of the share price of RBL Bank pushed the panic button amongst investors and customers of the private sector lender.
The share price fell after a series of developments over the weekend where the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sent a nominee to bank's board a day after the sudden departure of Vishwavir Ahuja as the bank's CEO.
The former RBI governor Urjit Patel in his yet-to-be-released book writes that several government banks did not have senior management in place, and governance suffered.
