The government has decided not to take any fresh initiatives to discuss mergers and acquisitions (M&As) among public sector banks, following adverse views expressed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and reservations from political quarters.
n December last year, the finance ministry had asked five state-run banks — Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Union Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and Bank of India — to explore merger opportunities in the banking industry. Now, ministry officials and senior bankers familiar with the development confirmed to Business Standard that the finance ministry has decided to shelve the idea.
