SBI PO Prelims 2017: Sentence Rearrangements – Set 1

Rearrange the following sentences
in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the
questions given below.

(B) State Bank of India (SBI)
chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya is right to say that writing-off farm loans
spoils credit discipline.

(A) There is pressing need to
alleviate agrarian distress, but loan waivers are bad in principle, and
certainly not the best option.

(C) It undermines the credit
culture: borrowers would wilfully default on repayments in the hope of such
schemes.

(F) This, in turn, could result
in a rise in default rates, impair bank balance-sheets and injure long-term
growth.

(D) Waivers also create a moral
hazard as it penalises borrowers who have honoured their loan commitments.

(E) But if this is the way the
political system wants to respond to agrarian distress, the government in power
must compensate banks for the write-off to ensure that their balance-sheets are
not further impaired, ideally by routing the funds through farmers, to protect
credit discipline.
