Prathip Chaudhuri, chairman, SBI said, "As our capital position has strengthned now, we will go back to them (Moody's) to rate us again."

 According to SBI's CGM Sharad Sharma, "One major issue which they had with us when they were rating was related to uncertainity of our capital. Since we got it now we will approach them to reconsider their rating."
