: The fourth-largest public sector bank in India was formed in April 2020 when Canara Bank and Syndicate Bank merged. This research looks into the effects of that merger. Significant gains in market share, operational effectiveness, and product diversification have come from the combination. Key findings show that the banking industry is now more competitively positioned, with more assets, deposits, and a wider branch network that enable greater consumer access and service provision. A number of strategic proposals are put up to optimise the benefits of the merger: give top priority to the seamless integration of corporate cultures and operations; make investments in state-of-the-art IT infrastructure; and carry out strong customer retention campaigns. Achieving long-term success will also require concentrating on personnel management and streamlining the branch network. All things considered, the merger is a revolutionary move for both banks, putting them in a better position to compete in a changing financial environment and improve service quality and operational robustness. To ensure ongoing growth and navigate future hurdles, it will be imperative to employ adaptive tactics and constant monitoring.
