Earlier on Monday, Sharma, the founder and chief executive of One97 Communications, the parent of the payments bank, met officials from RBI, according to a person aware of the development.
Sharma, the person said, wanted to understand the way forward following RBI's decision to bar the payments bank from accepting deposits beginning 1 March. According to the person cited above, an emotional Sharma left without any change in stance from the banking regulator.
