English Quiz for SBI PO Mains 2015 – Set 8

Rearrange the following six sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F)
in the proper sequence to form a meaningful
paragraph and then answer the questions given below.

(A) But the cold reality is that
the RBI’s debt restructuring scheme, which allows banks to take over majority
stakes in companies if a debt restructuring failed, is at best an interim
measure.

(B) The prolonged slowdown in the
economy has eroded the market for distressed assets so much that even asset
reconstruction companies have found it hard to offload them.

(C) Last week, the Reserve Bank
issued new norms for Strategic Debt Conversion (SDR) which will give lenders
the right to convert their outstanding loans into a majority equity stake if
the borrower fails to meet conditions stipulated under the restructuring
package.

(D) The RBI has done what it
could to put the fear of God in the minds of errant borrowers; the ball is now
in the government’s court.

(E) While the new norms may help
banks arm-twist recalcitrant borrowers and deter defaulters, it is unlikely to
make a big dent in the existing asset quality problem.

(F) The bulk of bad loans are
linked to firms that are stuck with over-capacity and weak demand, and are
therefore simply unable to service their debt.
