MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) chief said on Wednesday the regulator had "very limited authority" to hold state-run banks accountable and called for a leveling of the playing field between public sector and private sector banks.

In a speech at law university in Gujarat, RBI Governor Urjit Patel said "Market discipline mechanism for public sector banks is appreciably weaker compared to that at private banks."
