Abstract:
|
The case describes the growth and collapse of United Western Bank Limited (UWBL),
a private sector commercial bank in India. Since the late 1990s, UWBL was facing
several problems including asset-liability mismanagement, inefficient management
of bank's assets, irregular transactions with some of its major shareholders
like Makharia Group, conflicts between the bank's major shareholders regarding
the ownership of the bank and poor governance. These problems collectively
resulted in the collapse of UWBL. In order to protect the interests of the
creditors of UWBL, the Government of India (GoI) announced the merger of the
bank with IDBI Bank. The case further details the terms of the merger and ends
with a brief analysis of the future prospects of the merged entity.
