🍒 Boards of Corporation Bank, Allahabad Bank give in-principal approval for respective merger plans :  Corporation Bank on Monday said the board has given its in-principle approval for the merger with Union Bank of India. "The board of directors in its meeting held on September 16, 2019 has given in-principle approval for the amalgamation of the Corporation Bank into Union Bank of India," it said in a regulatory filing. Earlier on September 9, Union Bank of India had informed about an in-principle approval of its board for the amalgamation of Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank into it. While, Andhra Bank board on September 13 had given its in-principle approval for the amalgamation of the lender alongside Corporation Bank into Union Bank of India. In a separate filing, Allahabad Bank said that "board of directors of the bank in its meeting held on September 16, 2019 has considered and accorded its in-principle approval for amalgamation of Allahabad Bank into Indian Bank. The union government in late August had approved to merge 10 state-run banks into four entities with an aim to strengthen them as also to cut down number of publicly hold banks into of the global sized banks. - economic times

🍒 Allahabad Bank board approves merger with Indian Bank : The board of Allahabad Bank on Monday approved the merger proposal with Indian Bank, making the amalgamated entity the seventh largest public sector lender of the country. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had on August 30 announced the consolidation of 10 state-run banks into four large-scale lenders."In terms of SEBI (listing obligations and disclosure requirements), the board of directors in a meeting held today has considered and accorded its in-principle approval for amalgamation of Allahabad Bank into Indian Bank," sources in the bank said.Meanwhile, employees and officers of Allahabad Bank staged a demonstration in front of its headquarters here to protest against the merger.A office-bearer of the staff association said the amalgamation is being opposed as Allahabad Bank has higher levels of CASA (current account and savings account), more staff strength and a bigger volume of business compared to the other lender."The merger proposal with Indian Bank is illegal," he claimed. - economic times

🍒 Mega mergers fail to lure funds to PSB stocks :  India’s biggest bank overhaul in decades to merge state-run lenders beset with bad loans and low capital has not convinced investors to increase holdings of the shares. Fund managers, including Aberdeen Standard Investments and JPMorgan Chase & Co, are shying away from increasing their positions in government-owned lenders. As well as poor asset quality at the banks, they cited uncertainty about the merger’s time-line. “State-run banks do have a large asset-quality burden,” said Rukhshad Shroff, who oversees more than $660 million in India equities at JPMorgan Chase & Co’s asset management unit in Hong Kong. Many also have very little capital. There is some evidence to show that digesting large mergers ends up being more complicated than was originally expected. - Business Line

🍒 Strike call given by officers' union may affect normal business at branches: SBI : The State Bank of India (SBI) on Monday said the operations of the bank could be affected if the two-day strike call given by officers' unions materalises. Four unions of officers of public sector banks have threatened to go on a two-day strike from September 26 to protest against the announced consolidation of 10 state-run lenders into four."While bank has made all arrangements to ensure normal functioning in its branches and offices, it is likely that work in our bank may be impacted to some extent by the strike," SBI said in a regulatory filing. - economic times

🍒SBI research report calls for abolition of capital gains tax to boost savings : Saying that the slowdown in the economy cannot be addressed by monetary policy in isolation and also needs fiscal policy focus, a State Bank of India (SBI) economic research report on Monday called for abolition of capital gains tax. “Abolish capital gains tax to boost financialization of savings that gained momentum in FY18, but might have lost pace in FY19," said Soumya Kanti Ghosh, group chief economic adviser, SBI, in the report cited above.Ghosh said abolishing capital gain tax will boost households’ savings and encourage people to invest more in financial assets than physical assets.“Past trend also suggest, financial assets have grown at a faster pace than last year and a bulk of this comes from equity. We expect this pattern to remain inclined to equities and removing long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax will again give a boost to financialization of savings," he said. - Live Mint

🍒 SBI chief slams 'selfish' private sector bank for Altico crisis : State Bank of India chairman Rajnish Kumar has slammed a “selfish” private sector lender for the crisis at Altico Capital, as its unilateral move to secure its own money can potentially cause troubles to the wider financial system. The realty-focused non-banking lender Altico, which owes over Rs 4,500 crore to the system (mostly banks), defaulted on a nearly Rs 20 crore interest payment late last week on an external commercial borrowing (ECB) loan.The default by Altico has resulted in concerns over the wider implications.According to reports, a leading private sector bank allegedly moved in to secure its exposure by “netting-off” money from a fixed deposit maintained by Altico.“If any bank makes a selfish move, it can have a negative impact on the rest of the system,” State Bank of India (SBI) chairman Rajnish Kumar told reporters here over the weekend.“You have taken care of the Rs 50-100 crore (exposure), and felt happy for saving your money, but if you are damaging the system, then it is not proper,” Kumar said, without naming the private sector lender.“Even in the case of the biggest of the companies, if a bank pulls the trigger or stops credit flow, the negative impact can come,” he added. - Economic Times

🍒 PSBs, private sector banks biggest players in NEFT transaction, shows report :  Private sector banks, followed by public sector banks (PSBs) are the biggest players in the National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) network, both in terms of volume and value, according to an article published by the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) economic and policy research department. “Our findings show that out of the public sector, private sector and foreign banks that constitute around 83% and 87% of the total transactions by value on NEFT in the month of March and April (2019), respectively, the flow from private sector to public sector banks is very large, with public sector banks being net receivers in the system," the article titled ‘Network Analysis of NEFT transactions in India’ said.The RBI has said the views expressed in the article do not represent the regulator’s view.“Payment flows are particularly strong within the public-to-public sector and private-to-private sector banks network. The flow from private-to-public sector banks is also very large with public sector banks being the net receivers in the system," the article said. - Live Mint

🍒 RBI allows payment of all recurring bills through BBPS :  In a consumer friendly initiative, the RBI on Monday expanded the scope of Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) to cover all repetitive bill payments, which may include school fees, insurance premiums and municipal taxes. Currently, the facility of payment of recurring bills through BBPS is available only in five segments -- direct to home (DTH), electricity, gas, telecom and water."...it has been decided to expand the scope and coverage of BBPS to include all categories of billers who raise recurring bills (except prepaid recharges) as eligible participants, on a voluntary basis," the RBI said in a circular.BBPS functions under the aegis of National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).As per BBPS website, the facility would be expanded to include other types of repetitive payments like insurance premium, mutual funds, school fees, EMIs, and municipal taxes, among others. - economic times

🍒 Visa, BillDesk partner to roll out interface for recurring payments : Visa, a global leader in payments technology, and BillDesk, leader in the Indian payments business, have partnered to roll out of SI-Hub, a seamless and secure way to make recurring payments using cards with a one-time enrollment. With this, the banks and merchants will be able to offer recurring payments/ standing instructions (SI) services (powered by BillDesk’s SI-Hub and Visa’s global recurring transaction framework for merchant-initiated transactions) to their cardholders to help manage payment across utilities, subscription services, and mutual fund SIPs, among others. The RBI had recently released guidelines for e-mandate on cards for recurring transactions. - Business Line

🍒 Start-ups to grab banks’ $280-b payments revenues by 2025 : Banks are set to miss out on as much as $280 billion in revenue from their payments operations by 2025, as new start-ups muscle in and more of the business of sending money to individuals and companies becomes instant and free, according to a new report. The global payments business, which covers anything from card payments to wiring money overseas, is dominated by banks and this year was worth around $1.5 trillion, professional services firm Accenture said in a report published on Monday. That is expected to grow to $2 trillion globally by 2025, but banks are likely to lose out on $280 billion, or 15 per cent of their global payments revenues, Accenture estimates. - Business LIne

🍒RBI re-evaluates GDP forecasting after Q1 print caught it off guard : RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das on Monday said India's June quarter GDP growth print at 5 per cent came in as a big surprise for the central bank, whose growth forecast at 5.8 per cent was way off the mark. This, he said, has set off an internal review within the Reserve Bank of India to find out "what we missed out, where we went wrong.""We are examining the GDP much more closely now," the governor told ETNOW in an exclusive interview. "In inflation forecasting, we are almost on the dot now. The margin of error has come down significantly. We want to get more accurate with GDP forecast too," he said. Asked when RBI expects growth to recover, Das refused to give a timeline. "We have to see the Q2 numbers, and figure out whether the slowdown will sustain," he said. Das, however, said as early as in February, RBI had recognised the slowdown in the economy, which led it to cut in policy rate by 25 basis points. - economic times

🍒 Prop Equity says funds worth Rs 90,000 cr required for stressed housing units : PropEquity-- a realty online data, risk management and analytics platform--on Monday said around Rs 90,000 crore will be required to complete a total of 7.4 lakh stressed housing units across the country. On Saturday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the government will set up a special window to provide last-mile funding for housing projects which are non-NPAs and non-NCLT in the affordable and middle income category. In the fund, Rs 10,000 crore will be contributed by the central government and roughly the same amount will come from outside investors."The government has been magnanimous and sensitive in its allocation of the stress fund and in adopting this crisis which got created due to many factors that were well beyond the government's control," PropEquity Founder and MD Samir Jasuja said.This is definitely a positive move and the company hopes that the government will take more steps in future to help the industry tide these turbulent times, he added. - economic times

🍒 Jet Airways lenders make presentation to Synergy Group : The lenders to the bankrupt Jet Airways Monday made a presentation to the South American conglomerate Synergy Group, which has reportedly emerged as sole potential buyer of the airline, according to a source. After the August 10 deadline, Synergy Group Corp, which owns majority stake in Colombian carrier Avianca Holdings, had reportedly evinced interest in the airline, which had already received expressions of interest (EoIs) (which were subsequently withdrawn) from energy baron Anil Agarwal's family trust-backed Volcan Investments, Russian Fund Treasury RA Partners and the Panama-based Avantulo Group."The lenders of Jet Airways Monday made a presentation to the Synergy Group, which is likely to invest in the carrier.

The regulator has specifically flagged two governance issues — delay in framing the nomination and remuneration policy (NRP) and the delay in the commencement of the process of appointment of new MD & CEO — in its recent communication to CDSL. Such delay has eventually resulted in the depository functioning without an MD & CEO till date, SEBI said in the letter. - economic times

🍒 Gold prices rally ₹460 on weak rupee, rise in crude prices : Gold on Monday climbed ₹460 to ₹38,860 per 10 gram in the national capital on a weak rupee and higher oil prices, which led to investors opting for safe haven commodities, according to HDFC Securities.
