Bank of Maharashtra has received a license from the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) on 8th May 2025 to set up an IFSC Banking Unit (IBU) at GIFT IFSC, Gujarat. This follows RBI's earlier approval granted in February 2025 permitting the bank to establish this unit. The IBU will allow the bank to offer international banking services such as foreign currency loans, trade finance, and treasury operations from the GIFT City hub. The move is part of the bank's strategy to expand its international banking footprint and tap cross-border business opportunities.
This is a positive strategic development for Bank of Maharashtra, enabling it to access foreign currency earnings, international corporate clients, and GIFT City-based business, though immediate financial impact on revenue or profitability is likely to be modest given the early stage.
