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.

By
This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning.

"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...

iPad Pro Review

By
The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
