Govt to set up Alternative Mechanism for merger of state owned banks

24 Aug 2017 Evaluate

In a bid to improve the health of  Public Sector Banks (PSBs), the government has decided to set up an Alternative Mechanism to oversee the proposals for consolidation of state owned banks. The decision would facilitate consolidation among the Nationalised Banks to create strong and competitive banks. The move aims at meeting the credit needs of the growing Indian economy and building capacity in the PSB space to raise resources without dependence on the state exchequer.

The Cabinet has given its in-principle nod to the constitution of the mechanism which will clear proposals of banks for mergers and amalgamation. As per the framework, mergers decisions should originate from the banks and these should be based on commercial decisions. The Alternative Mechanism will comprise of senior ministers of the government.

Elaborating on the decision, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the proposals received from banks for in-principle approval to formulate schemes of amalgamation shall be placed before the Alternative Mechanism. After the in-principle approval the banks will take steps in accordance with law and Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI’s) requirements. The final scheme will be notified by the central government in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India.
