Banking stocks are currently trading in the green with Union Bank, Canara Bank and Bank of India leading the gains in the sector. The country's largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI) may receive a capital boost from the Finance Ministry. The Ministry is in the process of looking at a proposal to infuse Rs 40 bn in the bank to boost its capital base. The decision would be made within the next few months. Last year, the government had infused Rs 79 bn in SBI to increase its Tier-1 capital. With that, the government's stake in SBI had gone up to 61.58% (as at end of March 2012) from 59.4%.
