Can a nationalized bank other than SBI act as the 'Bank' under GAR?

Government AccountsGARRule 2

Yes, if the Reserve Bank of India appoints another bank as its agent under Section 45(1) of the RBI Act 1934, that bank also qualifies as 'Bank' under Rule 2(b). The key criterion is RBI authorization, not just being a public sector bank.
