Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi, Vijay Mallya, Vikram Kothari and the list is getting longer. The cases against corporates, especially those involving bank frauds, are increasingly tumbling out of closed chests
In October last, finance minister Arun Jaitley had announced a major recapitalization plan involving infusion of Rs 2.11 lakh crore — spread over a few years — in public sector banks (PSB). The plan was – it goes without saying — intended to shore up the finances of the ailing banks that cumulatively have notched up non-performing assets (NPA) of Rs 9.5 lakh crore. Of the entire amount, Rs 88,139 crore was to be pumped into the banks by the end of this financial year (March 31).
As per the plan, the highest amount (Rs 10,610 crore) was to be given to IDBI Bank. This was not surprising considering that Mallya of Kingfisher Airlines has for all practical purposes run away with a loan amounting to Rs 900 crore from IDBI setting back the bank hugely. Rs 5,473 crore was to go to Punjab National Bank (PNB). But now these calculations might go awry.

What Drives Us to Invest?
I had made the journey from economics to finance. As part of Keynesian economics, we were taught about the three motives to hold money: the transactions motive, the precautionary motive and the speculative motive; all through my teaching career that remained part of my Keynesian economics. But two decades, later when I immersed myself into the world of investment, I had to develop my own tools to understand the new discipline and make my investors understand the working of their own minds. One night as lay turning on my back, poring over the day’s happenings, suddenly I made a strong connection between what I had studied years back and the problem I was grappling with now: the motives.
