What happened
An investigation into alleged irregular payments linked to deposit interest involving Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation led to the resignation of HDFC Bank's chairman, Atanu Chakraborty. The bank's board later imposed monetary penalties on Sashidhar Jagdishan, Srinivasan Vaidyanathan, and Arvind Vohra for concealing a scheme involving approximately ₹45 crore paid to MSRDC, which was recorded as marketing expenditure. The Reserve Bank of India is also investigating MSRDC over alleged irregular incentive payments.
