The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has demanded a formal explanation from HDFC Bank regarding the internal imposition of a ₹1 lakh penalty on its MD, CFO, and Group Head.
The penalties were linked to an internal review of deposit pricing practices, which the bank claims were conducted without any improper motive or governance failure.
Market experts suggest that the bank must now demonstrate stronger governance protocols to rebuild investor trust, as the stock faces scrutiny over its leadership's accountability.
