Kerala based gold loan player Muthoot Finance has applied to the Reserve Bank of India
for a banking license. "We are looking to convert our existing network
of 4,400 branches into full fledged bank branches subject to RBI
approval," KP Padmakumar, executive director, Muthoot Finance said. He
added that 70% of the branch network was in rural and Tier II locations.
RBI regulations mandate new banks to open at least 25% of its branches
in unbanked rural centres.
