The Finance Minister P Chidambaram has called a meeting of chief executives of public sector banks on March 5.
This meeting, which will be held in New Delhi, is seen as his last meeting with public sector chiefs under the present UPA Government.
Besides deteriorating asset quality in the banking system, the interest subsidy scheme on certain education loans announced in the interim budget is also likely to be discussed, sources close to the development said.
The interim budget had also raised the agriculture credit target to ₹ 8 lakh crore for 2014-15.
This could also come up for discussion on March 5, sources added.
