It said that the losses are expected to continue in the absence of any viable strategic plan, mounting non-performing assets (NPAs) and declining advances. It said that the bank was unable to raise adequate capital for addressing concerns around its net worth. It is important to note that LBV was placed under the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework in September 2019 for failing to meet requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just in: Government imposes a one-month moratorium on Lakshmi Vilas Bank.
