Yes, as per the provisions of takeover code, the regulation 29 is not applicable to a scheduled commercial bank as pledgee in connection with a pledge of shares for securing indebtedness in the ordinary course of business. So, either the bank is not scheduled commercial bank as per RBI or it may be has made the disclosure voluntarily. The disclosure is not mandatory for bank but it can make it voluntarily.
