FinMin exempts Indian Bank from Banking Regulations Act for exceeding Shareholding in ASREC (India) Limited

The Ministry of Finance has granted a special exemption to Indian Bank, allowing it to exceed the prescribed shareholding limits in ASREC (India) Limited, an asset reconstruction company. This special dispensation is aimed at facilitating investments within the financial sector and potentially strengthening the asset resolution framework in the country. The exemption indicates a strategic move by the government to encourage greater participation and investment by public sector banks in entities involved in the management and resolution of non-performing assets.
