Underlining the reforms made by the Centre to improve the financial health of banks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the banking sector of India is currently in a major milestone phase that can give a great push to the country’s economy.

Addressing the concluding session of the conference on “Creating Synergies for Seamless Credit Flow and Economic Growth” Prime Minister Modi said, “The reforms made by the government in the banking sector in the last 6-7 years led the banking sector of the country towards a very strong position today. The financial health of banks is now in a much-improved condition. We brought reforms like IBC, reformed many laws, empowered Debt recovery tribunal.”

He said a dedicated Stressed Asset Management Vertical was also formed in the country during the COVID period.

“We have found ways to solve problems and challenges that were there before 2014. We addressed the problem of Non-Performing Assets (NPA). We recapitalized the banks and increased their strength. Today the capacity of the banks of India has increased so much that they can play a great role in giving new energy and a great push to the economy of the country and making it self-reliant. I consider this phase as a major milestone in the banking sector of India,” he added.

The Prime Minister further said banks should adopt the model of partnership leaving the traditional approver-applicant system.

The two-day conference is being organised by the Ministry of Finance from November 17. The conference has been attended by top officials from Ministries, Banks, Financial institutions and Industry representatives. (ANI)

New Delhi: Users of online brokerage Zerodha faced difficulty in trading on Wednesday due to a technical glitch on its trading platform. The brokerage house faced customers’ ire on microblogging site Twitter as they complained that prices and trading froze on its platform during the trading hours.

“Zerodha down, price not updating,” one user tweeted.

Another user mentioned, “Zerodha is not working at the peak time of trading. Prices are stuck.”

“Because of Zerodha, I suffer a loss of Rs 80,000 in ONGC. Zerodha app was stuck. I sold my holding for intraday and stock runs like a wild horse from 65 to 82 within 5 min & came down to 62. I was trying to exit my position but thanks to Zerodha, my stock was sold. Buying price 148,” a user tweeted.

On October 18, investors of several brokerage houses, including Zerodha and Paytm Money, had faced possible difficulty while selling shares due to “an issue” related to Central Depository Services India Limited (CDSL).

Founded in 2010, Zerodha Broking is a financial services company that offers retail as well as institutional broking, currencies and commodities trading, mutual funds, and bonds.

Over 7.5 million clients place millions of orders every day through its platform, contributing more than 15 per cent of all Indian retail trading volumes.
