Government to Form High-Powered Committee on Banking Reforms for Viksit Bharat
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the government will soon form a high-powered committee to review the banking sector's role in achieving India's Viksit Bharat 2047 goal. The panel, proposed in the 2026-27 Union Budget, will draw on insights from a two-day PSB Confluence involving banking stakeholders. Sitharaman highlighted the sector's improved financial health, with non-performing assets at historic lows, providing a strong foundation for reforms. The government plans to act swiftly on the committee's recommendations to support sustainable economic growth.
