The country’s largest cooperative bank, Saraswat Cooperative Bank, quoted that it will consider turning into a commercial financial institution after RBI panel’s recommendation to permit the big players from a sector to change the character. Presided by the RBI Deputy Governor, the High Powered Committee for Urban Cooperative Banks (UCBs) has recommended the option to give UCBs with business value of Rs.20,000 crore plus, the status of a commercial bank. The panel has also quoted that Large Multi-State Urban Cooperative Banks (MS-UCBs) with physical presence in over one Indian state, dealing in forex and participating in the payment systems and money market is important to the whole UCB ecosystem. The failure of MS-UCBs could disrupt the UCB sector and if the large UCBs are turned into commercial banks, the systemic risk could decrease as the framework and regulations are strict when it comes to commercial banks.
