In 2002, the RBI had granted an 'in-principle' approval to Kotak Mahindra Finance Ltd (KMFL) and three Indian finance professionals who had teamed up with Rabo India to set a up commercial bank- the Yes Bank.

Indian corporate bigwigs like Tata, Birla group, and some of the older Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFC) have expressed their interest in a banking license.

Among finance companies, Reliance Capital and India bulls have already announced their interest in getting into banking sector.

Lenders such as the Exim Bank and Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) were also interested in a banking license.
