The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has begun the process of reviewing regulations on Islamic banking in India. The central bank has set up an internal committee to examine the matter. The three-member panel comprises senior RBI officials, Rajesh Verma, a deputy general manager, department of banking operations, Archana Mangalagiri, general manager, non-banking supervision and Bindu Vasu, joint legal adviser. The demand for re-look at Islamic banking regulations have revived again with the Indian central bank opening up doors for differentiated banks in India – payments banks and smaller banks – to begin with. Supporters of Islamic banking are making a case for Islamic banking in the face of the reforms in the banking sector.
