The Kerala Bank's forming talks began with the merger of State Bank of Travancore (SBT) with State Bank of India (SBI), formerly known as State Bank of India. The Government of Kerala has initiated the process of forming the Bank of Kerala, arguing that the State will not be given due consideration by SBI becoming a part of the country's top public sector bank.
The Kerala Bank will be formed by combining the Co-operative Banks in the State. Co-operative banks are functioning at primary, district and state levels. The Kerala Co-operative Bank will be merged with the State Co-operative Bank.
The State Co-operative Bank has a deposit of Rs 7,000 crore and a deposit of Rs 47047 crore in District Banks. An investment of Rs 650 billion is expected.
The Bank of Kerala has control over the governing body, which is elected through cooperative democracy. The 21-member committee will consist of 10 members from the primary co-operatives, three from the general category, one from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, one representing the Urban Banks, two independent professional directors, four Ex-Officio members including the Co-Secretary, the Registrar, NABARD CGM and the CEO of Kerala Bank.
According to the Kerala Co-operative Act, two professional members may be nominated to the governing body. They will not have the right to vote. The RBI's final approval has suggested that a representative of non-credit unions be included as a non-voting special invitee to the governing body.
Bank of Kerala can accept NRI deposits With the introduction of banking services to the rural masses through the primary co-operative societies, the bank will become the first bank in Kerala.
Kerala is moving from tertiary banking to secondary banking. It is expected that with the converting of the co-operative banking sector into Kerala bank, the interest rate on loan will come down. This is one of the most appealing to readers. Both the State Co-operative Banks and the District Co-operative Banks have been cleared of the merger.
Co-operative banks will not have the current infrastructure crisis. State Co-operative Bank's NPA is 2.52%. Other co-operative banks' NPAs are 3.81 to 16.36 percent. With the merger, this dilemma will be solved.
