Mumbai, Nov 19 : Normal banking operations and bond market volumes took a hit today as the one-day “mass casual leave” by over 17,000 RBI employees affected the payment and settlement activities even as RBI said normalcy was restored.

The central bank’s staff had gone on one-day leave to press for better retirement benefits and restoring the RBI’s powers on monetary policy and public debt management.

The ‘Mass Casual leave’ was a good success. The RBI should discuss and settle the issues with out delay. (Courtesy: Ganashakti)
