    Kotak Mahindra Bank

    B.

    HDFC

    C.

    Punjab National bank

    D.

    Axis Bank

    Correct option is D

    The correct option is (D) Axis Bank.

    Explanation:
    In 2021, Axis Bank struck a deal to buy the retail banking business of Citibank India. This acquisition includes Citibank's credit card business, retail banking operations, and other related assets. The deal was valued at around ₹12,325 crore.

    Information Booster:

    • The acquisition was part of Citigroup's global strategy to exit certain retail banking operations in markets where it does not have significant scale or growth potential.

    • Axis Bank's acquisition enhanced its presence in the credit card and consumer banking sectors, with a customer base expansion and increased retail products.

    • This deal is expected to strengthen Axis Bank's retail banking portfolio and provide opportunities for growth in India's competitive financial market.​

      Axis Bank is one of the largest private-sector banks in India, and the acquisition aligns with its goal to strengthen its position in the retail banking and credit card market.
