The consolidation is intended to achieve better operational efficiency and cost rationalisation.

Post amalgamation, the 28 RRBs in 26 states and 2 union territories will have more than 22,000 branches covering 700 districts.

"Amalgamation will enable RRBs to offer enhanced digital services to the customers of RRBs, resulting in improved customer services and product offering through digital channels in rural and semi-urban areas," finance ministry said in a post on 'X'.
