Deepak Parekh further said that in the last few years many regulations of banks and NBFCs have been improved. This created the possibility of a merger. This allowed the large balance sheet to arrange large infrastructure loans. At the same time, the credit growth of the economy increased. Affordable housing got a boost and all priority sectors including agriculture were given more credit than before.
