Quick answerRBI assigns Bank of Baroda as lead bank for the newly formed Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh, effective July 1, 2010. The district was carved from Raebareli and Sultanpur; Bank of Baroda retains lead bank duties for those districts too.

The rule, in the simplest words

Bank of Baroda is now the lead bank for the new Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district in Uttar Pradesh.
The new district was created from parts of Raebareli and Sultanpur districts, and Bank of Baroda will also continue as lead bank for these districts.
Bank of Baroda must coordinate banking services and credit planning for the new district's five talukas, and other banks operating in these areas will need to align with Bank of Baroda's lead bank functions.

How it plays out — a real example

She meets with other bankers to discuss how to best support local businesses and farmers, and ensures that Bank of Baroda's lead bank functions are aligned with the needs of the community. A payments & clearing officer in Gauriganj, the headquarters of Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district, works with Bank of Baroda to coordinate banking services and credit planning for the district's five talukas.
