Quick answerRBI assigned SLBC convenorship of the new Telangana state to State Bank of Hyderabad, effective June 2, 2014. Andhra Bank retains convenorship for the residual Andhra Pradesh. No other state SLBC responsibilities change.
The rule, in the simplest words
From June 2 2014, the State Bank of Hyderabad becomes the SLBC (state‑level banking committee) convenor for the new Telangana state.
Andhra Bank stays the SLBC convenor for the remaining Andhra Pradesh after Telangana is carved out.
All other states keep the same SLBC convenors as before.
Banks in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh must now send their state‑level banking issues to the correct convenor bank (SBH for Telangana, Andhra Bank for Andhra Pradesh) and update their records.
How it plays out — a real example
Ramesh, a senior relationship manager at a private bank in Hyderabad, checks his daily checklist and sees the new RBI notice. He updates the bank’s internal database to list State Bank of Hyderabad as the Telangana SLBC convenor, informs his branch colleagues that any Telangana‑related SLBC reports should be sent to SBH, and routes a pending credit‑planning submission for a Telangana client to the SBH contact, ensuring smooth compliance with the new arrangement.
What changed
Following the formation of Telangana as India's 29th state (gazette notification March 1, 2014, appointed day June 2, 2014), RBI assigned SLBC convenorship of Telangana to State Bank of Hyderabad. Andhra Bank continues as SLBC convenor for the remaining Andhra Pradesh. SLBC responsibilities for all other states remain unchanged.
What it means for you
Banks operating in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh must now coordinate with two separate SLBC convenors for state-level banking issues. This split ensures focused development and credit planning for each state. Lenders should update their state-level coordination points and align with the respective convenor banks for policy implementation.
What you must do
Update internal records to reflect State Bank of Hyderabad as SLBC convenor for Telangana and Andhra Bank for Andhra Pradesh.
Direct all Telangana-related SLBC communications to State Bank of Hyderabad.
Ensure branch-level awareness of the new convenorship arrangement effective June 2, 2014.
Review any pending SLBC submissions to route them to the correct convenor bank.
Who it affects
All banks with operations in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, SLBC convenor banks (State Bank of Hyderabad and Andhra Bank), State-level banking coordination committees
