The Times Bank was a bank founded in 1994 by the Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. which is the holding company of The Times of India newspaper.[2]

## History

[edit]

In December 1993, The Times Group (which is owner of the Times of India newspaper) received an in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India for starting a new private bank.[3]

The Bank was incorporated on 6 July 1994 by the Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. and the Certificate of Commencement of Business was obtained on 22 August 1994.[4]

The Bank opened its first branch on D. N. Road, Mumbai, on 8 June 1995.[5]

In the year 2000, the bank was merged with the Indian private bank HDFC Bank.[6]

## Business activities

[edit]

The bank was a member of the Cirrus ATM network. It had four strategic business units: assets group, trade finance group, services group & syndication & advisory services group. It was also the first bank in India to provide an on-line, real-time debit programme in Delhi & Mumbai.[7]

At the time of its acquisition, Times Bank had 541 employees, 35 branches and 34 ATMs, whereas HDFC Bank had 827 employees, 57 branches and 77 ATMs.[8][9] Moreover, many of the employees at the Times Bank were former employees of the State Bank of India.[10]

The acquisition of Times Bank by HDFC Bank was a major profit booster for The Times Group.[11]
