Sources suggest government has green flagged Kotak Bank’s acquisition of IDBI

Kotak Mahindra Bank has emerged as the frontrunner to acquire the government’s stake in IDBI Bank, according to senior Finance Ministry officials. Sources indicate that the Reserve Bank of India has granted ‘fit and proper’ approval to the shortlisted bidders, clearing a key regulatory hurdle in the disinvestment process. The government and LIC together hold more than 60 percent in IDBI Bank, which they plan to sell as part of a broader push to reduce public sector ownership in financial institutions.If finalized, the deal would mark a significant expansion for Kotak Mahindra Bank, strengthening its presence in retail and SME lending while giving it access to IDBI’s extensive branch network. The acquisition would also represent one of the biggest banking privatizations in India in recent years, underlining New Delhi’s commitment to reforms aimed at improving efficiency and attracting private capital into the financial sector.

False Allegations on Vote Chori

I have been following the diatribe by LOP in Parliament and by the Congress Party on the Election Commission’s SIR program.

I am attaching a factual data input for your esteemed site below:-

It shows that the Congress Party has modified the Electoral Rolls 11 times since 1947.

Not a whisper was uttered by the people of India as the Election Commission was carrying out its duty as per the national requirements and not a political party.

The same process is being faithfully executed by the EC today.

It is time the country knew the correct perspective of SIR as honestly and faithfully carried out by our Election Commission.

Warm regards,

Devindra Sethi . 

 

Transparency is key to good governance

Well taken that Vote Chori is a fake narrative! But can anyone clarify where has the loan taken by the GOI since 2014 from 55 lakh crores to 2.5 lakh crores gone and which all projects? As it's a burden on us Indians and not on political parties in power. Transparency is key to good governance with equal opportunity.
