Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India has given its in-principle approval to Centrum Financial Services Limited to take over the troubled Punjab and Maharashtra Co-operative (PMC) Bank, it said in a statement on Friday.

Financial services firm Centrum will be allowed to set up a small finance bank (SFBs) with the PMC takeover.

SFBs are niche lenders introduced in the Indian banking system by the RBI that are meant to further financial inclusion.

In September 2019, the central bank had put curbs on the PMC bank after finding financial irregularities such as under-reporting of bad loans.
