Merchant banking primarily involves financial advice and services.

At present, the Bank is holding following Licenses from SEBI:

  • Merchant Banker
  • Banker to the Issue
  • Debenture Trustee
    • In terms of SEBI guidelines, all debenture issues (public/rights) of the companies with the maturity period exceeding 18 months are required to have "Debenture Trustee" and its name must be stated in the prospectus of the issue.
    • We are registered with SEBI for handling of the debenture trustee assignments – registration No.IND000000023.
    • Dissemination of information on Debentures in default

Being a licensed Banker to Issue registered with SEBI, enables us to provide Escrow Collecting Bank/services and refund Bank services related to Initial Public Offering (IPO), Follow on Public Offering (FPO) and Right Issue.

The process of collections needs a high degree of close co-ordination between various capital market intermediaries such as the Book Running Lead Manager, the Syndicate Members, the Registrar and most importantly the issuer Company. Our large network of branches and strong bonds with various capital market constituents enable us to offer better solutions for clients.

The Merchant Banking Division has also got enabled a functionality of a new system in CBS branches for payment assignments, which is similar to Demand Draft Payable Account under Finacle. The product has the following unique features that ensure that the payment account of the corporate remains reconciled at any point of time:

  • Facility for upfront uploads of the instruments issued by the companies into Core Banking system
  • Online payment of the instruments by CBS branches
  • Validation of instruments details by the system
  • Online status update of paid instruments by the system
  • Online MIS on paid/unpaid instruments at any point of time
  • Facility to cancel lost instruments and to re-upload duplicate instruments issued in lieu thereof
  • MIS on cancelled instruments
  • 100% reconciliation of the corporate dividend / refund order payable by a/c by the system without manual intervention

Facility to provide MIS on paid / outstanding instruments in ASCII format, which can be suitably converted by the corporate for updating their in-house database

This new facility will help in solving the major problem in handling these assignments i.e. reconciliation of accounts. This will also help in reducing the cost of reconciliation, postage and handling cost.
