HDFC Bank Legal Review Finds No Evidence Supporting Former Chairman's Allegations
HDFC Bank commissioned an independent legal review by domestic and US law firms to investigate allegations made by former part-time chairman Atanu Chakraborty in his resignation letter. The three-month review examined board and committee meeting minutes, agenda papers, documents from the two years before his resignation, and conducted interviews with independent directors, senior executives, and the CEO. The review found no documentary evidence or witness support substantiating Chakraborty's concerns, concluding that the allegations were not reflected in official records or communications.
