RBI Proposes Changes to Ease Bank Stake Raising by Domestic Institutional Investors
The Reserve Bank of India has proposed amendments to bank shareholding norms to ease investments by domestic institutional investors (DIIs), while tightening disclosure and monitoring. Key changes include a carve-out for portfolio managers, introduction of 'qualifying persons' classification, and a one-time approval mechanism for increasing stakes up to 10%. Simultaneously, revised governance norms redirect bank boards' focus to strategy and risk oversight, scrapping rigid agenda requirements.
