Dear Comrades,
Finance Minister P
Chidambaram today suggested the RBI prefer those applicants for new bank
licence who want to set up specialised banks rather than the ones keen
to establish clones of existing lenders.
"I sincerely hope that when the new banking licences are given in
January 2014 some licences would at least go to the people who have come
up with innovative and different model of banking addressed to meet the
needs of special segments of the people," he said in in his inaugural
address at Bancon 2013.
"It would be a pity if the new licences also goes to the bank which
clone existing banks. I am confident that will not happen and innovative
idea and innovative banking will gain recognition by the licencing
authority," it said.
Emphasising that there is a need for different kinds of banks, he said:
"We need banks which caters to communities, we need banks which cater to
people living in what would call states where there is tribal
population, we need a different bank to cater to the needs of North
East..." There is also need to promote banks which can cater to urban
poor and farmer families, he added.
Noting that there is more cloning then differentiating, he said, "I am
happy that Governor has spoken about differentiated banking licences."
As many as 26 applications had been received for bank licences on the
close on July 1, 2013. Tata group, India's biggest business group, and
firms controlled by billionaires Anil Ambani and Kumar Mangalam Birla
are among those which applied for bank licences.
Among public sector units, India Post and IFCI have submitted
applications. Microfinance institutions such as Bandhan Financial
Services and Janalakshmi Financial, too, have expressed their intention
to set up banks.
The RBI had issued guidelines for Licensing of New Banks in the Private
Sector on February 22 and came out with clarifications in the first week
of June.
In the past 20 years, the RBI has issued licence to 12 banks in the
private sector in two phases. Ten banks were licensed on the basis of
guidelines issued in January 1993 and two in the second phase.
The guidelines were revised in January 2001 based on the experience
gained from the functioning of these banks and fresh applications were
invited. Kotak Mahindra Bank and Yes Bank were the last two entities to
get banking licences from the RBI in 2003-04.
