Opportunism at its best or worst and each person trying to extract its pound of flesh.

Further with the deadline of RBI of 1st April 2022 on HNI borrowing of Rs 1 cr per individual looming large, it would be interesting to see whether the merchant banking community comes up with new alternatives for funding.
