Mid-sized lender Union Bank of India plans to raise Rs 3,000 crore towards equity to meet Basel-III norms after 2015. Though it may not need any fresh equity until 2015, the bank has given a proposal to the Ministry of Finance for the additional capital and it is currently being studied, Union Bank Chairman and Managing Director D Sarkar said. The government roughly holds 58 per cent in the bank as on June 30, 2013.

Govt to finalise Rs 14,000 cr infusion for its banks
To meet global capital requirement norms (or Basel III norms) of public sector banks in the country, the Union Finance Ministry is likely to finalise Rs 14,000-crore capital infusion into the banks by the end of this month. An official concerned said that the government has received capital requirement proposals from all public sector banks and it is evaluating their proposals at the moment. Hopefully, capital allocation to banks would be finalised by August-end.
