RBI allows FIIs to purchase shares in Federal Bank

24 Mar 2014 Evaluate

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has allowed Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) to buy shares in Federal Bank as the government approved increasing foreign investment in the Bank from 49% to 74% for paid up equity share capital. The restrictions placed on the purchase of shares of the company are withdrawn with immediate effect.

The aggregate shareholding through FIIs/Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)/Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs)/Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)/American Depository Receipt (ADR)/Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) in Federal Bank has gone below the prescribed threshold ban limit stipulated under the extant FDI policy.

Earlier on August 20, 2013, the RBI had restricted FIIs from purchasing shares in Federal Bank as the overall foreign shareholding in the South-based lender has crossed the limit of 49% of paid-up capital.

Federal Bankhas reported 9.18% rise in its net profit at Rs 230.13 crore for third quarter ended December 31, 2013 as compared to Rs 210.78 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. Total income of the bank has increased by 9.86% at Rs 1895.92 crore for quarter under review as compared to Rs 1725.62 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
