‘Extra payout’ to Maharashtra PSU: HDFC board slaps Rs 1 lakh fines on MD, CFO

HDFC Bank’s board penalized top executives over deposit arrangements with MSRDC. The internal review found business overreach but no personal gain or mala fide intent. Top executives received nominal penalties and warning letters following the review’s recommendations. This action comes as the RBI pushes boards for greater oversight and before the CEO’s term ends. The bank will formally communicate the matter and its findings to the Reserve Bank of India.
