The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) plans to simplify regulations for acquiring major shareholdings in banks. Eligible mutual funds, insurance companies, and pension funds can receive a one-time approval for stakes below 5%, allowing re-acquisitions up to 10% without further approvals, provided compliance is maintained.
This change aims to reduce regulatory burdens on large institutional investors, potentially increasing market participation and liquidity in the banking sector.
