Govt mulls raising FDI limit in private banks to 100%

  • Seeking to further relax foreign investment norms, the government is considering increasing the foreign direct investment (FDI) limit in private banks to 100%, from the existing 74%.
  • The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has sent a proposal to hike the FDI limit in the private banking industry to the Department of Financial Services for its comments.
  • Currently, 74% FDI is permitted in the private sector banking, of which up to 49% is allowed under the automatic route and beyond that through the approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
