Prime Minister Narendra Modi took stock of various economic issues at a meeting with officiating finance minister Piyush Goyal and officials on Tuesday.
Hasmukh Adhia, finance secretary, and Rajiv Kumar, financial services secretary, were present.
Separately, the PM’s Office (PMO) discussed issues related to the Reserve Bank’s (RBI’s) new and stiffer provisioning norms for stressed loans, sources said. It appears the ministry would like a return to the earlier rule.
