Citigroup, another brokerage house, also sees Monga as the potential candidate for the Kapoor's post.
Whereas, Pralay Mondal has spent more than two decades in retail and business banking.
Mondal takes care of retail banking, branch banking, lending to small enterprises and lending to medium-sized businesses.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) asked Kapoor to step down from his position in January, without citing reasons.
