History
Bank of India was founded on 7 September 1906 by a group of eminent businessmen from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The Bank was under private ownership and control till 19 July 1969 when it was nationalised along with 13 other banks.[7]
Beginning with one office in Mumbai, with a paid-up capital of ₹5 million (US$58,000) and 50 employees, the Bank has made a rapid growth over the years and blossomed into a mighty institution with a strong national presence and sizable international operations. In business volume, the Bank occupies a premier position among the nationalised banks.
The bank has over 5,084 branches in India spread over all states and union territories including specialized branches. These branches are controlled through 54 zonal offices. There are 60 branches, 5 subsidiaries, and 1 joint venture abroad.
The Bank came out with its maiden public issue in 1997 and follow on Qualified Institutions Placement in February 2008.[7]
COVID-19 Moratorium
Bank of India was one of the banks to apply an automatic moratorium or automatic relief on loan accounts during the COVID-19 pandemic, without the consent of the customers. The customers would now have to approach the bank if they wished to continue paying the EMI. Ultimately, customers would end up paying more than what they were initially supposed to pay. This move could be considered to be highly unethical on part of such a reputed bank.
