Deepak Shenoy, Founder and CEO of Capitalmind, criticized the severity of the regulatory actions against Paytm Payments Bank. He contrasted this with the handling of past banking crises, where regulatory bodies facilitated smoother transitions.

"Can't believe RBI would just go destroy a bank like this. When Yes Bank had much bigger issues they took over and got other banks to take over. To protect the system they ensured a smooth transition in 15 days," Shenoy said in his tweet. "But now they prefer to let all the bank’s customers, vendors and partners suffer and create a confidence issue unnecessarily, and force the business down…" he continued.
