RBI Approves Three-Month Extension for Keki Mistry as HDFC Bank Interim Chairman
The Reserve Bank of India has approved a three-month extension for Keki Mistry as interim part-time chairman of HDFC Bank, extending his tenure until September 18, 2026, or until a regular chairman is appointed. This follows the abrupt resignation of former chairman Atanu Chakraborty in March, who cited ethical concerns without elaboration. HDFC Bank commissioned an independent legal review into these concerns, but the report is pending. The extension aims to maintain leadership continuity amid ongoing governance reviews and the search for a permanent chairman.
