Why do Banks merge?
India had many small banks operating as separate entities. They often depended on the government’s aid, which added to its burden. According to the Reserve Bank of India, merging most of these banks would pave the way to building a robust, well-funded, and global banking system.
In August 2019, it was announced that 10 public sector banks would be merged into 4. After this, 4 more mergers were announced. In total, there are 12 public sector banks operating after the bank merger in India.
The announcement of this mega-merger was made by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in 2019. The main purpose of the government is to consolidate 10 public sector banks into 4 banks to manage the capital more effectively and improve the NPA of some banks.
