    Question

Since then all the lenders except Central Bank have improved their financial health and come off RBI's PCA list. A bank under PCA faces greater scrutiny by the regulator and may face lending and deposit restrictions, branch expansion and hiring freezes and other limitations on borrowings. The RBI introduced these norms at a time when Indian lenders were battling record levels of soured assets, prompting the RBI to tighten thresholds. Source: economictimes
