Government to Form High-Level Committee on Banking Reforms for Viksit Bharat
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the imminent formation of a high-powered committee to review India's banking sector and its role in achieving the Viksit Bharat vision by 2047. The committee, proposed in the 2026-27 Union Budget, will draw on insights from a two-day PSB Confluence involving key banking stakeholders. Sitharaman highlighted the sector's improved financial health, with non-performing assets at historic lows, providing a strong foundation for reforms aimed at supporting sustainable economic growth and financial inclusion.
