RBI official accuses SBI of copying its report, bank staff replies
RBI Assistant General Manager Sarthak Gulati accused SBI of copying the central bank's Monetary Policy Reports in the Ecowrap report without attribution. Citing examples, he said even boxed items from the report, which signify original research or novel insights, are being used as SBI's own work. SBI Economist Tapas Parida called Gulati's claims "flawed accusations" and "impassioned opinions".
