AU Small Finance Bank submits Application for Universal Banking License to RBI
AU Small Finance Bank (AUSFB) submitted an application to the RBI for a universal bank license on Tuesday. In April, the RBI requested proposals from small finance banks that met specified criteria, including a minimum net worth of Rs.1,000 crore, to become regular or universal banks.
AUSFB filed an application with the central bank on September 3, 2024, asking for approval for a voluntary change from a small finance bank to a universal bank, according to a BSE filing.
In November 2014, the RBI announced guidelines for licensing small finance banks (SFBs) in the private sector.
According to the RBI’s April guidelines, an SFB intending to become a universal bank must have a minimum net value of Rs.1,000 crore at the end of the previous quarter and its shares must be listed on a recognised stock exchange.
It should also have a net profit in the last two years, as well as gross and net NPAs of less than or equal to 3% and 1%, respectively, in the last two years.
The Jaipur-based AUSFB bought Fincare Small Finance Bank, and the merger went into effect on April 1 of this year. The amalgamated entity’s overall business mix now exceeds Rs.1.8 lakh crore.
