Directions (71-80): Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given below it.

Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of

the questions.

PASSAGE – I

Despite the economic crunch worldwide that saw pulverization of some of the largest banking and

finance giants, Indian banking houses have managed to show positive growth this quarter. Some of

India’s leading national banks have posted a net profit rise of more than 40% over the last quarter

amid global turmoil. This would come as a big shot in the arm for the investors and consumers of

these banks even though apprehension is mounting on other banking and broking firms worldwide.

One of the main reasons behind the success of these banks this quarter would be their direct banking

by the Government India. People take solace in their investments in public sector watching the

bailout packages being cashed out by governments all over the world to save big business houses.

PASSAGE – II

Other private banks in India have also reported a substantial net profit over the last quarter. Given

the international and domestic scenario, one cannot put this down as a mundane achievement. While

others are on a cost cutting spree and firing employees, Indian Companies are actually working on

boosting staffing in banking and broking sectors. This can be seen as a big boon in the days to come

when the current recession eases and the economy gradually comes back on to the fast track. The

finance minister has assured Indian public about the sound health of all Indian banks. This could also

be evident from the fact that there have been no mergers and takeovers in Indian Banking sector in a

contrast to world scenario where finance houses are looking for mergers to cut costs on operations.
