NBFCs were heavily distributing personal credit card loans.

A few days ago, the Reserve Bank had warned banks about the danger of increase in unsecured personal loans. Last month, while presenting the monetary policy, RBI had expressed concern about the increasing personal loans in the country and said that banks should try to reduce it. RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das had advised banks and NBFCs to strengthen their surveillance systems, deal with increasing risks and take security steps. In talks with senior officials of banks and NBFCs, he had expressed concern over the increase in personal and credit card loans. No guarantee is kept from the customer against the personal loan. Therefore, RBI was worried about the huge increase in it. NBFCs were distributing more such high risk loans.
