The Nifty Bank index is likely to find support at 21200 levels, ICICIdirect.com said in a report. Technically, it (Nifty Bank) still looks robust and has potential to test much higher levels. The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee will detail its policy statement after the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Thursday. Though the central bank is likely to maintain status quo on policy rates, investors will wait announcements on new steps on the resolution of non-performing assets. The finance ministry is yet to announce new norms on resolution of the bad loans of banks. Banks have to clean up their balance sheets by Mar 31, a deadline set following the RBI's asset quality review in 2015.
