All these should be taken as warning signals by the RBI, and it should take timely measures to tackle the effects of recession. Already all banks in India have taken long exposures in the home loan sector. Personal loans and consumer loans are freely given without ascertaining repaying capacity of the borrower. All prudent lending norms are overlooked. Our economy too is not immune to such cycles. But since we are a developing country, recession will affect us more. All economic activities are cyclical in nature, and economics and finance are science of probability and not certainty.
