Prior to Axis Bank, the accounts were in State Bank of India (SBI). Axis Bank came into the picture after former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis came to power. Notably, Devendra Fadnavis' wife Amruta Fadnavis is the Corporate Head (Western India) and Vice President at Axis Bank. However, Devendra Fadnavis has claimed that Axis Bank was taken into consideration in March 2005 i.e. eight months before he married Amruta Fadnavis. 

Finance Minister Jayant Patil from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) stated that Uddhav Thackeray led government is considering the proposal of shifting the salary account to a nationalised bank and the decision is likely to be implemented after the Cabinet's expansion which will be held at the end of the month.
