State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest lender, will raise up to Rs.12,000 crore by issuing bonds that are Basel-III complaint. The funds will be raised in one or more tranches through private placement.
“The Committee of Directors’ has authorised the bank to raise up to Rs.12,000 crore by way of “issue of Basel-III compliant Tier-II bonds, at par, through private placement”,” the SBI informed the stock exchanges.
Basel-III capital regulations are being implemented in India with effect from April 1, 2013 in a phased manner.
Last year, the Reserve Bank of India tweaked the norms for raising funds via bonds in a move to make it easier for banks and also make it attractive for investors. The minimum maturity period of these bonds was reduced and banks were allowed to tap retail investors.
SBI’s capital adequacy ratio, as on end September, was 12.17 per cent as compared to regulatory mandate of nine per cent. Tier-I capital of SBI was at 9.9 per cent, leaving much room for raising Tier-II bonds.

Allahabad Bank
Allahabad Bank has already raised Rs.1,000 crore by issuing Tier-II bonds on a private placement basis.

His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

"EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...
