Solution

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) accepted the Centre’s request for allowing non-financial institutions and non-regulated entities to own more than 40 per cent of IDBI Bank. Non-financial institutions and non-regulated entities, such as private equity firms, currently, can own only 10 per cent and 15 per cent. In banks, regulated entities and public sector undertakings are allowed to hold up to 40 per cent. The RBI allows the holding of a higher stake, over 40 per cent, on a case-to-case basis.
