The bank is offering a special rebate on its various retail loan products till December 31 and this being targeted at mainly the affordable housing loan sector is expected to add on to the bank’s robust performance. It plans to increase its retail business to 30% this fiscal and is planning to open 26 centralised retail boutiques in major cities across the country.
Stay invested as the Bank is expected to end the current fiscal on a high note.
