The point calling for a special noting is that, after all, just as most of the other SEBI formulated rules, the subject rules riddled with glaring complexities and impediments rendering , in the ultimate analysis, the norms for approval a highly subjective exercise.
RBI Guidelines for Licensing of New Private Sector Banks
<> It is recalled, PC, the FM in his initial public announcement of such a proposal indicated to the effect that the novel idea should enable the realty sector to have its financing needs met by an exclusive wing of banking sector, divorced from the extant banking system. Be that as it may, the RBI’s follow-up move, if properly designed, implemented and gone ahead, with a sincerity of its laudable purpose, in a common man’s perspective, should help the PSBCs in being insulated to a great extent from the worrisome ‘risks’ and the resultant ‘NPAs’ thus far faced by them.BL

Impromptu
After a lapse of nearly 2 years, because of the increasingly disparaging personal experience with banks, to be precise with so called PSBs/ branches in locations like Mumbai, and having been pushed almost to own wits’ end, one was obliged / perforce driven to have a relook at the longish master circular from the RBI.
Of course, the RBI, as the apex bank, more so as the regulatory authority with direct responsibility and exclusive control, has been, as a matter of routine, issuing such circulars or directives, etc., from time to time, stressing unequivocally, among others, why the most important aspect of all, for banks to ensure, is the so- dubbed ‘customer satisfaction’. Whatever that means or was intended to mean, as any other ideology, has only remained on paper. What has been persistently happening in the field is just the contrary. Mostly, at the end of the day, a majority of customers/account holders are left a helpless and highly dissatisfied lot, being faced with an overwhelmingly suppressed and miserable feeling, verging on growing mistrust and unsatisfactory service of the highest order. What else can be the root cause- except the wanting of wish and will to monitor !
No need to specially add, -it is high time that the RBI, so also the concerned managements, pull up their socks, take a serious note of the increasing deterioration in the quality of service, and come out, on a war footing, with truly effective remedial measures. Failing which, there is no gainsaying that, the banking sector is bound to jump on the bandwagon, for joining the other one, in a way connected and related, commonly known for its notoriety, i.e. the realty sector, which admittedly has continued to remain for long an extremely 'unorganised', ‘unregulated’ sector, with the RBI pushed to a mere figurehead.

The write-up could have been more specific on, what exactly are the 'quarters' referred to!
Random thoughts:
In the write-up no focussed mention has been made of the ‘realty sector’, unwittingly or otherwise. None concerned, directly or indirectly, could afford to be oblivious of the idea of 'owner-financing' that has been slowly but notably catching up and gaining momentum in very recent times in the realty sector.
The newly mooted banking stream , in the interests of all concerned, especially to protect the interests of the PSBs, and in turn it’s stakeholders, so also the buyers’ community, needs to be implemented and licences granted, with the main focus on those sectors such as 'realty sector' , which for long, on their own admission, have remained highly 'unregulated’ , hence with inherent ‘risk potentials’ confronting the nation’s economy as a whole.

No need to specially say, - Over to concerned experts for matured thoughts and suggestions.
Key Note:
Reflecting for a moment, the newly announced scheme, seems to have a close semblance of the other already extant so-called 'self-financing' schemes. May be, is traceable to the ideally mooted concept of, employees-owned-managed companies, experimented not in the very distant past. There is no knowing why, and what exactly were the reasons,for it not having been successfully pursued !
