India seeks advice on banking consolidation

Finance Ministry has requested public sector banks' counsel on the move despite RBI's adverse stand.

The finance ministry has asked the top five public sector banks to come up with ideas on banking consolidation by the end of the current fiscal year, according to the Economic Times.


They have been asked to submit a detailed road map and also do the due diligence of the smaller banks they could acquire.  
 
The move comes even as the Reserve Bank (RBI) has indicated its adverse stand on consolidation in public sector banks. According to a senior finance ministry official who did not wish to be named, banks have been given broad guidelines under which they should assess compatibilities and synergies.  
 
The government may appoint consultants and chalk out a road map if the banks fail to come up with their views by the deadline. "It'll still be a consultative process, but we hope that banks will come up with their own strategies," a finance ministry official said.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
