Public sector lender UCO Bank today said its Board has approved a proposal to issue equity shares on preferential basis to the government for capital infusion of Rs 13.75 billion.

"We have received the approval of Board of Directors...for the proposal to issue equity shares on preferential basis to Government of India against capital contribution of Rs 13.75 billion subject to necessary approvals," UCO Bank said in a BSE filing.

Stock of the bank was trading 1.15 per cent higher at Rs 30.70 apiece on BSE.
