Proceeds from the fresh issue will be utilised to augment the lender’s tier 1 capital base to meet future capital requirements.
Investors can bid for a minimum of 600 equity shares and in multiples of 600 equity shares thereafter.
Utkarsh commenced operations in 2017 and its product suite includes a range of deposit products, including saving accounts, salary accounts, current accounts, recurring and fixed deposits, and locker facilities.
