Happy Dussera for UWB customers
It was a Happy Dussera for United Western Bank
customers as RBI approved the merger of UWB
with IDBI Bank and lifted the moratorium wef
03.10.2006. The shareholders will also be happy
because they get Rs.28 per share they own.
But this merger raises many questions:
1. What is the rationale for setting price of Rs.28
per share, we have seen some merger cases
where the shareholders were totally ignored,
so what makes UWB special case where RBI
fixed share price above privailing market price.
2. When many of better banks were eyeing for
the merger what made RBI to select IDBI bank
the suitable candidate?
3. When nationalised banks are serving better for
the betterment of the country than the private
banks and there were many nationalised banks
also in the race, why RBI sold UWB to profit
motived IDBI Bank?
