The Government of India continues to be the majority owner in most Public Sector Banks (PSBs), holding significant equity stakes to ensure control, stability, and public accountability in the banking system. Government shareholding in PSU banks plays a crucial role in policy implementation, financial inclusion, and maintaining confidence in the banking sector. However, over the years, the Centre has also reduced its stake in several banks through disinvestment and market offerings, while retaining majority ownership as required by law. In this article, we will have a detailed look at how much stake the Government holds in different PSU banks.
