According to Mr. R. Gopalan, Financial Services Secretary, the Government plans to pump-in around Rs 9,000 crore into select state-run banks by April-May, in the first phase of its capital infusion programme announced in the Union budget.
In the budget, the Government has earmarked Rs 16,500 crore for recapitalisation of state-run banks, to enable them maintain eight per cent Tier-I capital by March 31, 2011.
However, the Government is yet to decide which banks to infuse funds into and the amount for each bank. It is widely expected that Bank of Maharashtra, Indian Overseas Bank, Uco Bank, Syndicate Bank, Dena Bank, among others, will make the list.
