RBI has approved Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited to acquire up to 9.99% of the paid-up share capital or voting rights in Jammu and Kashmir Bank. The approval, granted via letter dated May 6, 2026, is subject to compliance with the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, RBI directions on shareholding, FEMA regulations, and SEBI regulations. Kotak Mahindra must complete the acquisition within one year, after which their holding cannot fall below 5% without fresh RBI approval if they wish to increase it back to 5% or more. The holding cap is fixed at 9.99% at all times.
This represents a significant vote of confidence from a major private sector bank. The ~10% stake acquisition by Kotak Mahindra could be positive for Jammu & Kashmir Bank's stock, signaling institutional backing and potential strategic synergies. Existing shareholders may see this as a bullish development.
