In one sentence, it could have been avoided and should have been avoided. There is no point in asking the COC to take a look at Kapil Wadhawan’s proposal when the PEL deal is approved by the COC and the RBI. It just sets the wrong precedent.

If Wadhawan wanted to pay, he would have done that already.
