RBI going into details of housing scam accounts

Kolkata, Dec 09 (PTI) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) today said that it was going into the details of the accounts involved in the housing finance scam unearthed recently by the CBI.

"RBI has studied the accounts after getting information from the banks concerned," apex bank governor D Subbarao said.

He said that out of 14 accounts involved, 13 were found to be of standard nature.
