Bandhan Bank promoter to gradually reduce stake to meet RBI norms
Economic Times 6 hrs ago·21 Sept 2026, 7:34 pm
Bandhan Bank's promoter, Bandhan Financial Services, plans to gradually reduce its stake in the bank to comply with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations. This move is necessary because the central bank requires promoters to lower their holding in a bank to 40% over time. The promoter has already sold shares in the open market and will continue to do so until the deadline of 2030.
This stake reduction is a regulatory requirement and not a sign of financial distress. It is part of a broader plan by the promoter to make the bank's ownership structure more diverse. To support this transition, the bank's board has proposed a stock split, which will increase the number of shares while keeping the market value the same. This move aims to make the stock more affordable for retail investors. Shareholders will discuss and vote on this proposal at the upcoming annual general meeting.
