Banks could shift ₹40,000cr-₹60,000cr into reserves

This move might also let banks lend more money, something experts like Karthik Srinivasan from ICRA say could really open up new opportunities.

The RBI is asking for public feedback on this idea until April 29, so there's still time for voices to be heard.
