The term of the non-official directors appointed by the Central Government will be fixed not exceeding three years.
The amendments will ensure financial stability of RRBs which will enable them to play a greater role in financial inclusion and meeting credit requirements of rural areas and the Board of RRBs will be strengthened.
Background:
