The bank has already made a representation to the RBI based on the improvement in financial parameters on a sustained basis for the past five quarters, sources said.

According to sources, the RBI is looking at the bank’s request and may take a view on this soon based on quantitative and qualitative parameters.

In the latest quarter, the bank’s gross NPA fell to 14.9 pc of the gross advances as compared to 15.92 per cent in the year-ago period.
