Union Bank of India is expecting funds worth `1,150 crore from the government by March 2011 to boost its tier I capital, a senior bank official said on Monday. “We hope to get the second tranche of `1,150 crore as government capitalisation by March. This would help us to increase our tier I capital to 8.37 per cent from 7.9 per cent now,” Union Bank chairman and MD Mr M.V. Nair said here on the sidelines of the launch of a new branch in Murshi-dabad district. However, the bank added that in case of a delay in securing this fund, it will opt for tier-II capital funds. The Cabinet has already approved the capitalisation plan.
