Speaking to reporters here, Bhattacharya said allocation of funds for infrastructure, additional capital infusion for government banks, and operationalisation of laws to cut the non-performing loans are some of major expectations of the banking sector.
She also said the sector is looking at the operationalisation of legal actions like the Bankruptcy Codes, amendment to Sarfaesi Act and the Debt Recovery Tribunal Act to derive the intended benefits.
