HDFC Bank gets RBI nod to extend Keki Mistry as interim Chairman; sets AGM and Rs 13 dividend

The RBI approved a three-month extension of Keki Mistry as interim Part-time Chairman until September 18, 2026, while the board fixed the 32nd AGM for August 5, 2026 and proposed a Rs 13 per share dividend.

What was filed

HDFC Bank disclosed two matters to the exchanges on June 18, 2026. First, the Reserve Bank of India granted approval, via a communication dated the same day, to extend the tenure of Mr. Keki Mistry (DIN: 00008886) as the Bank's interim Part-time Chairman. Second, the Board of Directors, meeting on June 18, 2026, approved the convening of the Bank's 32nd Annual General Meeting and matters relating to the dividend for the year ended March 31, 2026.

The chairman extension

Per the filing, the RBI approval extends Mr. Mistry's interim Part-time Chairmanship for a further period of three months, until September 18, 2026, or until the appointment of a regular Part-time Chairman, whichever is earlier. The Bank noted this follows its earlier intimation dated March 18, 2026 and an application it had made to the RBI.

AGM and dividend timing

The Board approved holding the 32nd AGM on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 at 2.00 p.m. IST through two-way video-conferencing. The filing states the dividend payment date will be on or after Thursday, August 6, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, for a dividend of Rs. 13 per equity share of Re. 1 each for the year ended March 31, 2026. The Bank noted the board meeting commenced at 2.00 p.m. and the AGM-related matters were approved at 4.25 p.m.
