    Solution

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) introduced the Basel norms (Basel I) in India in 2003. It now aims to get all commercial banks BASEL III-compliant by March 2019. Under this banks need to have a core capital ratio of 8% and a total capital adequacy ratio of 11.5% against 9% now. Capital adequacy is a measure of a bank’s financial strength expressed as a ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets.
