State Bank of India has received Cabinet approval to merge its five subsidiaries, which will make the bank among top 50 banks in the world.

The merger will boost the number of employees by further 64,000 employees of the subsidiaries making total employee strength of nearly 2.70 lakh from 2 lakh people across 23,000 branches. At present, SBI has about 18,000 branches, including 200 foreign offices spread across 36 countries, and about 62,900 ATMs. At 09:27 hrs State Bank of India was quoting at Rs 273.20, up Rs 4.55, or 1.69 percent on the BSE.
