(a) SBI
(b) Bank of Baroda

(d) UCO Bank
(e) Union Bank of India
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
- While the specific shareholding percentage fluctuates due to recent sales, State Bank of India (SBI) has historically held the most significant stake following the 2020 reconstruction scheme.
- As of late 2025/early 2026, SBI’s stake was reduced to approximately 10.8% after selling a large portion to Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), which now holds 24.2%.
