The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday finalised its July proposal to simplify bank shareholding rules, allowing eligible mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds to seek one-time approval for subsequent acquisitions of major shareholding of up to 10 per cent in the same bank.

RBI reported movement of 10%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Why it matters
- With RBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
