The merger, which took effect from 1 April, involved three listed entities: State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Mysore and State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur; two wholly owned SBI subsidiaries: State Bank of Hyderabad and State Bank of Patiala; and Bharatiya Mahila Bank, which was set up in 2013 as a bank exclusively for women and was wholly owned by the central government. The government gave its go-ahead for the merger in June 2016.
