According to Mr. R. Gopalan, Financial Services Secretary, SBI has sought the Finance Ministry's nod for raising Rs 20,000 crore from the market.
The amount would enable SBI to fuel its business plans, particularly in the face of rising competition from private and overseas rivals with deep pockets.
The government holds a 59.41 per cent stake in the bank, having acquiring RBI's stake in SBI in 2007.
Parliament recently passed a Bill allowing the government reduce its stake in the bank to 51 per cent, against the current minimum limit of 55 per cent.
