Union Budget 2024: Good time to push disvestment of public banks, says SBI report

Budget 2024: The State Bank of India (SBI) has suggested that the government should proceed with disinvestment of public sector banks (PSBs) as they are in good condition. The SBI's research report, titled 'Prelude to Union Budget 2024-25', argues for the consolidation of existing government-owned banks. The report also seeks clarity on the privatisation of IDBI Bank, which is being sold by the government and Life Insurance Corporation of India.
