IndusInd Bank shortlists 3 names for top job ahead of RBI deadline
MUMBAI: The troubled IndusInd Bank, which has been headless since late April when the scam-tainted chief executive Sumant Kathpalia and his deputy Arun Khurana resigned owning moral responsibility for the massive losses in its forex derivatives trading book, has reportedly shortlisted three names--Rajiv Anand of Axis Bank, Anup Saha of Bajaj Finance, and Rahul Shukla of HDFC Bank--to man the top deck. While Rajiv Anand is currently the deputy managing director of Axis Bank, Anup Saha is the managing director of Bajaj Finance, and Rahul Shukla is the group head of commercial and rural banking at HDFC Bank and is on a sabbatical from the largest private sector bank. While Sumant Kathpalia resigned on April 29, his deputy Arun Khurana did so a day before. Both had cited moral responsibility for the scam for the decisions to leave, which came in well after seven weeks since the crisis came out. Both have also been banned by the market regulator from the market for insider trading—they had pocketed over Rs 157 crore from selling bank's shares in 2023-24. Since their resignations, the bank is run by an RBI-approved executive committee comprising its consumer banking head Soumitra Sen and the chief administrative officer Anil Rao. According to a source in the know of the development, the board of the Hinduja group-promoted bank is expected to clear these names and submit the list to the Reserve Bank for approval any day now before the regulatory deadline of June 30. The regulator has also asked the board to suggest probable names only from outside IndusInd Bank. During a recent analyst call, IndusInd chairman Sunil Mehta had assured stakeholders that the names would be submitted well before the deadline. The upcoming leadership change is seen as a crucial development for the bank, which has been in focus since early March when it was forced by the RBI to inform all stakeholders that it made accounting mistakes in the forex derivatives books for several years and that it would have to make provisions to the tune of 1.35% of its net worth as of December 2024 when it was Rs 64,000 crore. But the bank on May 22 said while announcing the March quarter earnings that the losses were much higher at Rs 2,329 crore. It had booked a net profit of Rs 2,349 crore in the year-ago period. Most of the loss was due to the impairment in its forex derivatives book, which the management first said would be only around Rs 1,600 crore. The lender reported net interest income of just Rs 3,048 crore in Q4 a whopping 43% less from Rs 5,376 crore a year 59-year-old Rajiv Anand of Axis Bank has over 35 years of experience in the financial services sector. He began his journey at Axis Asset Management Company in 2009 as its founding managing director and chief executive. In 2013, he moved to Axis Bank as president of retail banking, eventually joining the board in the same year.

Government asks PSBs to step up lending after RBI's rate cut
NEW DELHI: Govt on Friday nudged banks to step up lending in view of healthy balance sheets and the reduction in interest rates by RBI. While reviewing the performance of state-run banks, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman asked banks to prioritise deposit mobilisation to support credit growth and pushed them to undertake special drives and leverage their massive branch network to raise resources. During bank-wise presentations, the financial services secretary asked the lenders to make use of the clean books to lend, especially to small businesses. The finance minister flagged the energy sector, especially renewables, as a focus and asked banks to develop a credit model to support small modular nuclear reactors. "Deepening corporate lending in productive sectors was also emphasised, with a strong focus on maintaining robust underwriting and risk management standards," an official statement said. The finance minister also suggested that banks should "proactively identify" emerging commercial growth areas for the next decade, which can aid profitability and growth. The other important message was on improving customer experience, including in branches and simple online and offline platforms. Sitharaman focused on expanding the branch presence, especially expansion in metro and urban centres. The comments come at a time when private lenders have stepped up efforts in urban centres, which are seen to be more profitable. This will mean public sector players will have to double down on effort on this front, while balancing rural and semi-urban focus. In fact, Sitharaman also asked banks to focus on manpower requirements - including existing and arising vacancies - as branches are often not adequately staffed following expansion initiatives. Several banks have already started initiatives on improving customer service and improving the overall branch experience. Banks have been instructed to scale up efforts on financial inclusion schemes and expand their presence in GIFT City. Starting Tuesday, govt is launching a three-month financial inclusion saturation drive. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
