State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala, and State Bank of Travancore would be the target associate banks for merger, Chaudhuri said.
Out of five associate banks, three are listed, and two are in the direct ownership of SBI, he said, adding “we would take non-discriminatory way to decide and choose merger of any of the five associate banks. It would be a long process that would take employees’ confidence and participation”.
