Nabard employees decry move to transfer RBI stake
The All-India Nabard Employees Association (AINEA) has strongly expressed its dissent against the Centre’s proposed move to transfer Reserve Bank of India’s stake in Nabard (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) on to itself.
The Centre has decided to divest part of the Nabard shares directly to the market along with those of 25 other unlisted shares of public sector units ranging from Nuclear Power Corporation, Exim Bank to Punjab and Sind Bank.
The RBI currently holds 72.5 per cent of the equity in Nabard. The paid-up share capital is Rs 2,000 crore, of which the RBI’s share amounts to Rs 1,450 crore. The rest (Rs 550 crore or 27.5 per cent) is held by the Government of India.
