What changed
The Government of Uttar Pradesh created a new district, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar, from parts of Raebareli and Sultanpur districts. RBI has now assigned Bank of Baroda as the lead bank for this new district, while Bank of Baroda continues as lead bank for Raebareli and Sultanpur districts. No other district's lead bank responsibilities in the state are affected.
What it means for you
Bank of Baroda must now coordinate banking services and credit planning for the new district's five talukas. Other banks operating in these talukas will need to align with Bank of Baroda's lead bank functions. This is a routine administrative update that does not change any other lead bank assignments in Uttar Pradesh.
What you must do
- Update internal records to reflect Bank of Baroda as lead bank for Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district.
- Ensure branch-level coordination with Bank of Baroda for district credit plans and SLBC meetings.
- Review any existing exposure or operations in the five talukas (Tiloi, Salon, Amethi, Gauriganj, Jagdishpur) for alignment with new lead bank arrangements.
