Independent Review Finds No Major Governance Lapses at HDFC Bank After Chairman Resignation

An independent review by Mumbai-based law firms Trilegal and Wadia Ghandy found no major governance lapses at HDFC Bank following the resignation of chairman Atanu Chakraborty in March, who cited personal value differences without elaboration. The review examined board meeting records over three years and concluded that governance issues raised were addressed appropriately. These findings have eased investor concerns, led to a rise in HDFC Bank shares, and cleared the way for the Reserve Bank of India to consider reappointing CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan.
