What changed
The Government of Karnataka created Vijayanagara district from Ballari district, comprising Hosapete, Kudligi, Hagaribommanahalli, Kotturu, Hoovina Hadagali, and Harapanahalli taluks. RBI assigned State Bank of India as the lead bank for this new district and allotted district working code '00S' for BSR reporting. Lead bank responsibilities for Ballari and other Karnataka districts remain unchanged.
What it means for you
Banks operating in the new Vijayanagara district must align their lead bank coordination and BSR reporting with State Bank of India.
