If a proposal by the Reserve Bank of India goes through, corporate entities in India may be allowed to own banks. Is this a good idea? Ratings agencies and some of India's foremost economists and former RBI. governors have said that this is a disastrous idea that throws caution to the wind. Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram says the government is pandering to the ambitions of business houses.

On Left, Right & Centre, we ask: should the RBI allow corporate houses to own banks?
