The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had agreed in principle to a request by Punjab National Bank (PNB) to spread its losses related to the Nirav Modi-Mehul Choksi fraud over four quarters, sources said.
“However, we are still awaiting a written communication from the regulator,” a source at the Delhi-based public sector bank said.

PNB had declared both accounts fraudulent after reporting
