The board of directors of Canara Bank on August 26 has granted in-principle approval for the sub-division of one equity share of the bank having a face value of Rs 10 each into five equity shares of face value of Rs 2 each.
The stock split proposal is subject to requisite approvals, the bank said in a communication to the stock exchange.
