Moreover, banks can reduce the bias in the short term to take administrative decisions by favoring investments that would generate higher benefits in the long term. Banks play a more positive role than other investors to reduce financial distress costs.

legal, regulatory and political environment in which the company determines to a large extent the quality of corporate governance. In fact, corporate governance mechanisms are economic and legal institutions are often the result of political decisions. For example for. The extent to which shareholders can control management based on their voting rights as defined in the Companies Act and the extent of the market for efficient control of the companies are working to discipline under the management performance will depend on the regulations take over.

corporate governance mechanisms:

in India, there are 6 mechanisms to ensure corporate governance. Law

1. companies in 1956:

regulated companies by the Companies Act of 1956, as amended up to - date. Companies Act is one of the largest legislation with 658 sections and 14 schedules. To ensure corporate governance, and a law granting legal rights to shareholders for
