Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's views on Banking Sector
Excerpts from conversation with Punita Kumar Sinha on ET Now;
Q: In the banking sector, which is also indirectly like as domestic consumption story, I notice you have only one bank, Karur Vysya Bank.
A: No, I also have Federal Bank. But in Karur Vysya Bank, maybe, I think , I had invested Rs.50 lakh in 1993, now I think it is Rs.200 crore. I see now it is growing at 18-20%. It has a good management, is rewarding shareholders, has a good yield. I think Rs.400 is the price and Rs.16 is the dividend. So four rupees, a four percent yield. I don't trust the public sector banks. And the second thing is I don't want to invest less than Rs.50-Rs.100 crore in a scrip. firstlly, I don't have that kind of money to invest. Even if I have the money, the liquidity is not there. So, it is difficult to build positions.
Q: So, you have liquidity constraints and you don't like PSUs. But Federal Bank you like as well.
A: Yes. I have substantial investments. Banking will be 7-8% of my portolio.

Honourable Finance Ministers views on RBI rate cut and Bank consolidation
Excerpts from interview with Rohini Singh and Hema Ramakrishnan (ET)
Q: Do you think the RBI should start cutting rates now?
A: That is a call that the Governor has to take. In our view, government and monetary authority must point in the same direction and walk in the same direction. As we take steps on the fiscal side, the RBI should take steps on the monetary side.
Q: Are you in favour of bank consolidation ?
A: The main task is to recapitalise our banks, make them more technology driven, push them into aggressive financial inclusion and make them lend more to the bottom of the pyramid. We would need large-sized banks and, if that can be achieved by consolidation, so be it. The policy is to grant more licences and if required amendments to the Banking Regulation Act.
