"When I was governor, we paid the highest dividend to the government. But that isn't the issue any more. The government doesn't just want the profit, it wants the excess." Rajan told NDTV in an interview.
On the bad debt crisis, Rajan said the economy needs to keep cleaning up the bad loans and out-of-court settlements are required.
"The bankers should be ready to make concessions and out of court in the shadow of bankruptcy should happen," Rajan said, adding the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) should focus on the big cases.
