Conclusion

SBI has rescued local banks by acquiring them. The first one was the Bank of Bihar (established. In 1911), which SBI purchased in 1969, including its 28 branches. The very next year was taken over by the government National Bank of Lahore (Est. 1942), which had 24 branches. SBI purchased Krishna ram Baldeo Bank around 1975, 5 years after it was founded in 1916 in Gwalior State there under the guidance of Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. These banks were also the Maharaja’s Dukan Pichadi, a local money changer. Jill N. Broacha, a Parsi, was indeed the new company’s first chairperson. SBI purchased the Bank of Cochin in Kerala, which already had 120 branches, in 1985. SBI was the buyer since its subsidiary, the State Bank of Travancore, always had a large presence in Kerala.
