 "IDBI Bank to raise Rs 900 cr through Basel-III compliant bonds")
Public lender IDBI Bank on Saturday said it has raised Rs 900 crore by way of issuing Basel-III compliant Tier-II bonds.
“IDBI Bank mobilised Rs 900 crore today through issue of Basel-III compliant Tier-II bonds on private placement basis to strengthen the bank’s capital adequacy,” the bank said in a regulatory filing on Saturday.
The instrument, IDBI Omni Tier-II 2015-16 Series-II, carries a coupon rate of 8.62 per cent per annum. The bond maturity date is January 2, 2026. Many banks have been raising money through Tier-II bonds, in their run-up to full Basel-III compliance by March 2019.
The Basel-III norms were introduced in the banking system since 2013 in a phased manner, with an aim to improve and strengthen regulation, supervision and risk management within the banking sector. A Fitch Ratings report in December had said banks in India will need about $140 billion to ensure full compliance with the Basel III norms by 2018-19.
