This topic is important for understanding banking reforms, public sector disinvestment, government ownership, LIC investment, and strategic sale in India. This session is part of the Economy Simplified Series, designed to explain important economic institutions and concepts in an easy, conceptual, and exam-oriented manner. IDBI Bank, a scheduled commercial bank regulated by the RBI, had earlier faced financial stress due to high non-performing assets and losses. In 2017, the RBI placed IDBI Bank under the Prompt Corrective Action framework, imposing restrictions to improve its financial position. After improvement, the restrictions were lifted in March 2021, subject to continued monitoring. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) later approved the strategic restructuring of IDBI Bank. Under the approved plan, a total 60.72% equity stake is to be sold to a strategic buyer, including 30.48% held by the Government of India and 30.24% held by LIC. After the transaction, the Government of India will retain 15%, while LIC will retain 19%. The disinvestment process is being carried out through a two-stage competitive bidding process, supported by the Inter-Ministerial Group, Core Group of Secretaries on Disinvestment, and the Alternative Mechanism. This topic is highly relevant for UPSC Prelims 2027, UPSC Mains GS Paper 3, Indian Economy, Banking Sector, Disinvestment, Privatisation, Public Sector Reforms, RBI and Current Affairs. ************************************************************************** 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 Important 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬- 1.
