The Department—in close coordination with Public Sector Banks (PSBs), Public Sector Insurance Companies (PSICs), Public Sector Financial Institutions (PSFIs), Regulators, Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) and Debt Recovery Tribunals/Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals (DRTs/DRATs)—executed the campaign with massive nationwide momentum.
