The government will infuse Rs 4,376 crore as equity capital in PSU lenders Bank of Baroda and Union Bank of India as part of a recapitalization package to shore up their equity capital. The bank has initiated necessary steps to raise capital by offering equity shares of face value of Rs 10 each for cash at a premium of Rs 892.14, aggregating up to Rs 3,280.9 crore on preferential basis.
The capital infusion would raise the government's holding in the bank. Currently, the government holds 53.81 per cent in BoB. Besides, another Mumbai-based lender Union Bank of India is expected to receive financial assistance of Rs 1,096 crore. The bank will be issuing 3.08 crore shares at a premium of Rs 344.94 to the government on preferential basis.
The capital infusions in both the banks have to take place before March 31 this year. As part of recapitalization, the government proposes to infuse Rs 6,211 crore into five banks in June 2010. The banks, which had got capital support from the government in the first tranche included Union Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, IDBI Bank , UCO Bank and Central Bank of India .
