1. HEARTY CONGATULATIONS TO Shri Shaktikant Das, the newly appointed RBI Governor. We pray Him for your successful stint with RBI & PSBs, Sir!
2. Your predecessor has been very benevolent to save AUDIT DEPARTMENT staff, statutory auditors against any accountability for their overt & covert actions/inactions; wherein, huge sums of Indian wealth were stashed out of India by fugitives. Your predecessor, Shri Urjit Patel has expressed RBI’s inability to regulate PSB scams of high magnitude.
3. Sir, do you have any plans for RBI to regulate PSBs’ functioning, wherein the PSB Boards, CMDs/EDs/CEOs gave away INR.Thousands of Crores to fugitives in-the-offing?
4. Any ways, we wish you all the best!!!
SATYAMAEVA JAYATHE!!!

Too early to praise in advance. Wait and see how well he protects the RBS from Govt interference. RBI Governor has to be independent to make decisions. Jatra of 18 Directors is too much and has been enlarged by BJP Govt to bring in more and more Retired Bureaucrats of their Yes men. The Sanctity of RBI is destroyed by BJP.
