What it says

How firm is each point

Stated by RBI — RBI’s own paragraph says this. We have only made it plainer.

Our reading — BankPulse read RBI’s paragraph and shortened it. The paragraph is the authority, not this line.

Needs judgement — RBI leaves this to the bank to settle, so nobody can give you a fixed number here.
