Canara Bank to raise up to ₹9,500 crore capital through bond issuance
Canara Bank's Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 12 June 2025, approved a capital raising plan for the financial year 2025–26, amounting to up to ₹9,500 crore.
The capital will be raised through the issuance of debt instruments, specifically Basel III-compliant Additional Tier I (AT1) and Tier II bonds. The initiative is aimed at strengthening the bank's capital adequacy, supporting future business growth and ensuring compliance with Basel III norms.
As part of the plan, the bank will raise up to ₹3,500 crore through AT1 bonds during the financial year, subject to market conditions and necessary approvals. AT1 bonds are unsecured, perpetual debt instruments issued by banks under the Basel III framework. These bonds carry no fixed maturity and offer higher yields, with provisions allowing coupon payment cancellation and principal write-down or conversion into equity if the bank's capital falls below a set threshold.
In addition, the bank will raise up to ₹6,000 crore through the issuance of Basel III-compliant Tier II bonds, also subject to market conditions and regulatory approvals. Tier II bonds are debt instruments with a minimum maturity of five years and are used to enhance a bank's total capital. Unlike AT1 bonds, Tier II bonds do not allow interest deferral if the bank remains solvent and profitable.
Basel III is a global regulatory framework developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision following the 2008 financial crisis. It mandates that banks maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of 4.5 per cent of risk-weighted assets (RWAs), with total Tier 1 capital (CET1 + AT1) at a minimum of 6 per cent and total capital (Tier 1 + Tier 2) at a minimum of 8 per cent.

Canara Bank cuts RLLR to 8.25%, making loans cheaper from June 12
In a move to boost borrower confidence, Canara Bank has reduced its Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) from 8.75% to 8.25%, effective from June 12, 2025. This comes in response to the recent 50 basis point reduction by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), bringing it down to 5.5%. Therefore, by passing on the complete benefit to the loan aspiring applicants, Canara Bank has made loans cheaper across its entire portfolio. Due to this move, interest rates on popular retail loans have been slashed. Home loans now start at 7.40% per annum, down from 7.90% whereas vehicle loans begin at 7.70% reduced from 8.20%. These lowered rates are expected to significantly reduce the EMIs on both existing and new borrowers. Thus making home and vehicle ownership more affordable and accessible for aspirational borrowers. Furthermore, as the RLLR is directly linked to the repo rate cut by RBI, any monetary policy changes or adjustments are quickly reflected in the financial institutions lending rates. This ensures transparency, clarity and prompt relief for borrowers. Not only this, Canara Bank has also trimmed its Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) by a total of 20 basis points across all tenures. This will benefit borrowers with older loans linked to MCLR. This move follows a broader trend by banks and financial institutions cutting lending rates after the RBI's policy action. All these steps cumulatively are aimed at stimulating demand in the credit market. For Canara Bank the rate cut aligns with its strategy to support economic growth, boost investment and financial inclusion by enhancing the availability of credit. Now with reduced rates across the board Canara Bank is encouraging individuals and businesses to check out their new loan products or even consider refinancing the existing ones. These steps are expected to provide timely financial relief and boost credit activity in the automobile and housing sector of the country. Disclaimer: Loan rates and terms may vary and are subject to change by Canara Bank. Reach out to the official website of the bank and verify details. This is for informational purposes only.
