RBI is going to announce its credit policy pretty soon. This will impact the banking sector in the short term. If RBI hikes the CRR by 50 basis point as currently expected, the liquidity in system will go down and bring down the stock market accordingly. There is already excess liquidity in the system. So this move by RBI is likely and will be a smart decision. But for long term the Indian Banking Sector is still a good sector to look at.
