Reportedly, the centre has formed a monitoring mechanism where the performance of these banks would be quarterly monitored by SBI Capital Markets.
SBI Capital Markets in return would keep the department of financial services updated about the same.
“Banks that will not be able to deliver on the agreed upon turnaround plan for a period of two years will be identified as banks eligible for alternative recourse,” Gangwar added.
