HDFC Bank concludes MSRDC arrangement review; issues warnings
HDFC Bank Limited has announced the conclusion of its internal review concerning arrangements with the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) for deposit garnering in 2017 and 2021. The review, based on findings from a Special Disciplinary Committee of Independent Directors, determined that employee conduct constituted 'business overreach' rather than malicious intent or personal gain. Consequently, the Board has decided to issue warning letters and a monetary penalty of ₹1 lakh to three senior employees, including the MD & CEO, CFO, and Group Head – Retail Assets. Other involved employees will receive warning letters. The bank will also communicate these findings to the Reserve Bank of India. This disclosure is made from a good governance perspective, with no applicable regulatory disclosure obligations triggered.
