What happened
FactThe RBI has approved ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company to acquire an aggregate holding of up to 9.95% of paid-up equity capital or voting rights in CSB Bank, DCB Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and AU Small Finance Bank. The AMC said any acquisitions would be made as investment manager for ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund schemes, AIF schemes and PMS clients, subject to applicable conditions.
Why it matters
