Myopia (By T. Bijoy Idicheriah)

I pointed to the skies.
Showed him the moon
The stars, the clouds...
Then turned & pointed to
Lands beyond the horizon.
To all that the world had on offer
He looked at me & said,
“Your nails are dirty!” #poem

When I wrote my Unusual Banks series for @91basispoints and penned a column titled ‘Paytm Payments Bank — Neither Alive Nor Shut’ on April 20, I didn’t know that on April 24 @RBI would shut down the bank? Or did I?

Thank you to Kalyan sir for letting me write on something that was more research and storytelling driven than pushing me to write something newsy!  7/7

When @kkalyanram asked me to shed off my lethargy and write for @91basispoints , I decided to write a series on ‘Unusual Banks’ in India, because of ownership, history, nomenclature, licence type or status of operations. 🧵 1/7

In my latest piece on ‘Unusual Banks’, I write on State Bank of Sikkim for @91basispoints

State Bank of Sikkim was outside the @RBI jurisdiction for decades. Now nominally brought in, it remains opaque, troubled, and poorly accounted for.

@RBI Tells Bank Boards to Stick to Their Lanes

In my piece for @91basispoints, I argue that the RBI is ensuring that bank boards know where their powers begin and end to strike the right balance between governance and autonomy for bank
management.
