RBI looks at asset reconstruction companies amid a flood of allegations

India's central bank is set to hold a meeting with top management from asset reconstruction companies (ARCs) to discuss corporate governance and stressed-asset resolutions. This comes amidst concerns about potential back-door entry by defaulting promoters. The meeting, scheduled for May 17 in Mumbai, will see the participation of all 27 registered ARCs, along with RBI executives. Allegations have arisen that ARCs may strike deals with defaulting promoters, allowing them entry at a steep discount, bypassing regulations.
