"The Central Board at its meeting held today accorded approval to raise additional tier 1 (AT 1) capital by way of issuance of Basel III compliant debt instruments in USD and/or INR to the tune of Rs 8,000 crore from domestic/international market including masala bonds," the bank said in a release to stock exchanges.

Masala bonds are rupee denominated debt instruments, sold in overseas market where investors take the exchange rate risk. Basel III is an international norms for bank capital.

State Bank of India (SBI) said it has time limit till March 2018 to raise the funds.
