RBI lifted ban on PwC auditing banks & NBFCs. PwC was banned from auditing banks and NBFCs following its association with the now failed Global Trust Bank as its auditor for financial years 2002 and 2003. RBI had found that PwC underprovided for NPAs.
GTB eroded networth due to over exposure to Capital Markets. It tried to make up for the capital by roping in Newbridge Capital, but RBI disapproved on grounds of questionable source of money. Since bank was not able to make up for capital, it was put under moratorium and then a quick takeover by OCB.
