History
In December 1993, The Times Group (which is owner of the Times of India newspaper) received an in-principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India for starting a new private bank.[3]

The Bank opened its first branch on D. N. Road, Mumbai, on 8 June 1995.[5]
In the year 2000, the bank was merged with the Indian private bank HDFC Bank.[6]
Business activities
The bank was a member of the Cirrus ATM network. It had four strategic business units: assets group, trade finance group, services group & syndication & advisory services group. It was also the first bank in India to provide an on-line, real-time debit programme in Delhi & Mumbai.[7]
