India Must Clean Up or Clear Out Dodgy Brokers
More than $200 billion in bad loans tumbled out when banks were made to open their attics to the regulatory broom four years ago. That cleanup isn’t over, and already it’s the stockbrokers’ turn. Who knows what will emerge?

Investors are waiting to find out after the Securities and Exchange Board of India, or Sebi, banned Karvy Stock Broking Ltd., a middleman for nearly 250,000 clients, from taking on new customers. The regulator said in its interim order that the broker may have helped itself to investors’ money and securities and diverted as much as $150 million to its real-estate business. READ MORE

Are Indian banks out of the woods? Yes, no and the answers in between
The quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q) net profit of 35 listed banks that have announced their earnings till last weekend is down by over 37 per cent but their profits before tax is up 9.36 per cent. Why am I talking about Q-o-Q figures and not year-on-year (Y-o-Y)? That won’t make much sense as too many banks were in losses in the September 2018 quarter and overall the industry was in the red. The rise in operating profits, riding on growth in net interest income, is a happy sign. The Y-o-Y growth in advances has been close to 11 per cent, the growth in deposits is higher--12.39 per cent.
