  "account": "Mumbai: Despite division over N Chandrasekaran's reappointment, Tata Sons board members unanimously agreed on a need for a committee to examine options for complying with RBI regulations for upper-layer NBFCs, sources revealed. No resolution on an IPO was made during Thursday's board meeting, but all directors agreed on a team with representatives from Tata Sons, Tata Trusts, and independent external members to work with the central bank and stakeholders for a compliance roadmap. This decision came after Noel Tata questioned the company's plans during a meeting with Tata Trusts chairman. RBI rules require upper-layer NBFCs with assets above Rs 1 lakh crore or access to public funds to list. Tata Sons, with assets of Rs 2.01 lakh crore, is above the threshold. The committee's findings would be presented to the board for further action. While a restructuring could help Tata Sons exit the RBI framework, experts warned that it could dilute the company's valuation. Splitting Tata Sons into two entities could also change its regulatory classification. Tata Trusts opposes a public listing, citing extensive work needed for an IPO and potential dilution of shareholder value due to losses in businesses like Air India and Tata Digital.",
