    NEW DELHI : State-owned Punjab National Bank (PNB) on Thursday said it has raised Rs1,500 crore by issuing Basel III compliant bonds.

    The bank will use the funds for business expansion.

    "Our Bank has issued and allotted Rs1,500 crore Tier - II Basel III compliant capital bonds at a coupon of 8.15% per annum on private placement basis," PNB said in a regulatory filing. The lender has issued 15,000 redeemable Basel III compliant Tier II bonds in the nature of debenture of Rs10 lakh each, it said.

    To comply with Basel III capital regulations, banks need to improve and strengthen their capital planning processes.
