The PSU banks are expected to receive huge capital from the governments. Also, three state-run banks were on Monday removed from the list of lenders who are mandatory implementing the Reserve Bank of India`s (RBI) Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework for banks struggling with huge accumulated non-performing assets (NPAs or bad loans). The three banks are Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra and the Oriental Bank of Commerce, the RBI said in a statement. 

''Great news for banking sector - 3 banks (Bank of Maharashtra, Bank of India and Oriental Bank of Commerce) have come out of PCA norms which will enable credit flow. This will especially benefit MSME sector & home buyers with easier access to affordable credit," tweeted acting Finance Minister Piyush Goyal who is due to present the interim budget on Friday.
