HDFC Bank Penalizes Top Executives for Business Overreach in MSRDC Deposit Review
HDFC Bank has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 1 lakh each and issued warning letters to its Managing Director and CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan, Chief Financial Officer Srinivasan Vaidyanathan, and Group Head of Retail Assets Arvind Vohra following an internal review. The review, covering deposit arrangements with the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation between 2017 and 2021, found instances of business overreach but no evidence of mala fide intent, personal enrichment, or improper motive. The bank has informed the Reserve Bank of India and taken these actions to address potential regulatory divergences.
