State Bank of India is controlled by the Government of India, as it is a public sector undertaking. The Government of India owns 57.64% of SBI's shares, while the rest are held by institutional investors, mutual funds, and the public.

Is SBI Cards controlled by Government of India?

State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest public sector bank in India, offering various banking and financial services to its customers. SBI Cards is a credit card company that was launched by SBI and GE Capital in 1998. SBI Cards offers different types of credit cards to suit the needs and preferences of its customers.

I don;t need to know about the other PSUs..
Lets concentrate on SBI here ..
The public perception of "govt company" comes from the way the Govt runs most of the PSU and interferes on a daily basis in their functioning. In most cases, instead of the appointed Board of Directors, it is the respective Ministry and the Secretary/Minister of that Ministry who takes the final decision. So when taking about whether SBI is a "govt co" or not, we cannot ignore other PSU.

And SBICPSL is not a Govt co as the total shareholding of the Govt, indirectly via SBI, is 39% i.e. less than 50%.

In order to be a "govt company" the total shareholding of the govt, either directly or through any other co, needs to be min 50%. SBICPSL fails that test.
We are moving towards more privatization.
.whats the point we are discussing in ?
That gov has too much involvement in banks ?
