Hi Varun...

Can i know why ICICI and HDFC banks are not treated as Indian banks ?
On which basis they will decide that a bank is Indian bank ?
And is there any beneficiaries for a bank to be recognized as Indian bank.

Varun Reddy said...

Kiran:
Becoz more than 74% stake of ICICI and HDFC banks are held by foreigners/foreign institutions.So that's why govt., declared there are foreign banks.
Govt., is trying to find out the solution for these banks..!!!
Definitely there will some advanntages for the Indians banks when compared to foreign banks.
