State-owned Vijaya Bank today said it is planning to raise Rs 226 crore from allotment of equity shares to insurance major Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) on preferential basis.
"A meeting of the Board of Directors of the bank will be held on March 3, 2016, inter alia, to consider the proposal for issue of equity shares to Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) through preferential issue up to Rs 226 crore," Vijaya Bank said in a BSE filing.
