The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Ministry of Finance to furnish a response on the question of why personal guarantees of big corporate loan debtors are not invoked.
On a plea filed in the Supreme Court which claimed that a whopping sum of about Rs 1,900 crores is lost on a daily basis merely because the Public Sector Banks are failing to invoke personal bank guarantees furnished by big corporates, the Supreme Court noted that it is an important issue.
