Public Sector Banks (PSBs) are banks where a majority stake (i.e. more than 50%) is held by a government.〔http://www.rbi.org.in/commonman/English/scripts/banksinindia.aspx/〕 The shares of these banks are listed on stock exchanges.

The total deposits in the banks nationalised in 1969 amounted to 50 crores.
