SBI, UCO Bank, Indian Overseas Bank said that they would preferentially allot shares to the government in return for capital infusion.
In December, India 's cabinet approved additional capital infusion of 60 billion rupees ($1.3 billion) into state-run banks to hike their capital adequacy and to lift the government's stake in them.
The funds are in addition to 150 billion rupees of infusion provided for in the February 2010 budget.
Several other state-run banks are also expected to approve the fund infusion over the next few days.
The Indian government is expected to infuse $3.3 billion into State Bank of India in the next fiscal year via a rights issue.
