HDFC Bank-HDFC Merger Today Biggest Transaction In History Of India Inc
Housing finance major HDFC will merge with its subsidiary HDFC Bank on Saturday as their respective boards have cleared the proposal on Friday.
Following the reverse merger, the 44-year-old institution HDFC Ltd would cease to exist from July 1 onwards. HDFC Ltd, the country's first home finance company, will lose its identity on Saturday.
"Saturday, July 1, 2023, to be the 'Effective Date' of the composite scheme of amalgamation, on which date the certified order of the NCLT sanctioning the Scheme will be filed by HDFC Investments, HDFC Holdings, HDFC Limited and HDFC Bank with the RoC," HDFC Bank said in a regulatory filing.
The board of directors of HDFC Bank in consultation with the board of directors of HDFC Limited has fixed July 13, 2023, for determining the shareholders of HDFC Ltd who would be issued and allotted the shares of HDFC Bank, it added.
Besides, July 13 has been fixed for the continuation of warrants of HDFC Limited in the name of HDFC Bank.
The board has fixed July 12, 2023, for the transfer of non-convertible debentures while July 7 for the transfer of commercial papers of HDFC Ltd in the name of HDFC Bank.
Termed as the biggest transaction in the history of India Inc, HDFC Bank on April 4, 2022, agreed to take over its parent, which is the largest pure-play mortgage lender, in a $40-billion all-stock deal, creating a financial services titan with a combined asset of over Rs 18 lakh crore.
The total business of the merged entity stood at Rs 41 lakh crore at the end of March 2023. With the merger, the net worth of the entity would be over Rs 4.14 lakh crore.
The combined profit of both entities was to the tune of about Rs 60,000 crore at the end of March 2023.
The combined shares of the HDFC twins will have the highest weighting on the indices at close to 14 per cent, much higher than the present index heavyweight Reliance Industries with a 10.4 per cent weightage.
The merger of HDFC Bank and HDFC creates a lender that ranks fourth in equity market capitalisation, behind JP Morgan Chase & Co, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd (ICBC) and Bank of America Corp, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It's valued at about $172 billion.
With the deal getting effective, HDFC Bank will be 100 per cent owned by public shareholders, and existing shareholders of HDFC will own 41 per cent of the bank. Every HDFC shareholder will get 42 shares of HDFC Bank for every 25 shares they hold.
The merged entity brings together significant complementarities that exist between both entities and is poised to create meaningful value for various stakeholders, including respective customers, employees and shareholders of both entities from increased scale, comprehensive product offering, balance sheet resiliency and ability to drive synergies across revenue opportunities, operating efficiencies and underwriting efficiencies, a statement said.
Speaking on the completion of the merger, HDFC Bank CEO and Managing Director Sashi Jagdishan said the combined strength will enable to create a holistic ecosystem of financial services.
"We're truly happy to welcome the talented team of HDFC Ltd into the HDFC Bank family. I believe our journey will be defined by agility, adaptability, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. As we navigate the path ahead, we will embrace challenges as opportunities, learn from our experiences, and strive to be the benchmark of success and integrity in the financial services industry," he said.
It also marks the transformation of HDFC Bank into a financial services conglomerate that offers a full suite of financial services, from banking to insurance, and mutual funds through its subsidiaries, the bank said.
So far, the bank was a distributor for these products.
The merger of India's largest housing finance company HDFC Ltd with the largest private sector bank in India combines the strengths of a trusted home loan brand with an institution that enjoys a lower cost of funds.
The larger net worth would allow a greater flow of credit into the economy, it said, adding it will also enable the underwriting of larger ticket loans, including infrastructure loans and contribute further to nation-building and employment generation.
All employees of HDFC Ltd as of the effective date become HDFC Bank employees.
Over the past months, the bank has been preparing for smooth integration not only of systems and processes but also of all aspects that will make HDFC Bank a welcoming place of work for the employees from HDFC Ltd.
Post-merger, the key HDFC Bank subsidiaries include HDFC Securities Ltd, HDB Financial Services Ltd, HDFC Asset Management Co Ltd, HDFC ERGO General Insurance Co Ltd, HDFC Capital Advisors Ltd and HDFC Life Insurance Co Ltd.

AP PHOTOS: Napa Valley wine grapes thrive after record rainfall but cool weather may delay harvest
As sunlight spilled into California's famed Napa Valley on a summer day, rows of wine grapes reflected the benefits of this winter's record rainfall. California has more than 960 square miles (2,488 square kilometers) of vineyards dedicated to the wine industry, perhaps none as iconic as those growing in Napa Valley just north of San Francisco. This year, wine grapes are thriving after record winter rainfall in California, but cool days of spring that have carried into summer are threatening to keep the grapes from ripening. The longer the fruit has to stay on the vine the more exposed it is to possible wildfires in the fall and rain in early winter. The state’s normally bountiful wine grape harvest had been hindered in recent years by a combination of drought and wildfires. California growers reported $600 million worth of grapes lost to smoke damage after the 2020 fire season, the office of U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla said. California's wine industry generates $170.5 billion...

Vistara IndiGo To Operate Flights On New International Routes From August
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has given its permission to full-service carrier Vistara and no-frills IndiGo to operate new international flights from August, a senior official said on Monday.
Vistara had proposed to launch its flight services to Bali in Indonesia from New Delhi, while IndiGo had sought the regulator's nod to introduce air connectivity to Georgia's capital Tbilisi from New Delhi, the official said.
"IndiGo operations (on) Delhi-Tbilisi (route) with effect from August 7 and Vistara operations (on) Delhi-Bali (route) with effect from August 1, have been approved," he said.
Vistara is in the process of merging with Air India, which is now owned by Tata Group.
In February this year, IndiGo announced its plans to roll out its air services to Kenya and Indonesia.

Markets Regulator Asks Listed Firms To Confirm Or Deny Rumours From Oct 1
To streamline the disclosure requirements, Sebi has notified rules asking the top 100 listed companies by market capitalisation to confirm, deny or clarify any market rumour reported in the mainstream media from October 1.
Further, for the top 250 listed entities, the rule will kick in from April 1, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a notification.
These companies will have to "confirm, deny or clarify any reported event or information in the mainstream media which is not general in nature and which indicates that rumours of an impending specific material event" are circulating amongst the investing public, within 24 hours from the reporting of the information.
To strengthen the corporate governance at listed entities, Sebi came out with a framework to address the issue of certain shareholders enjoying special rights perpetually.
Any special right granted to the shareholders of a listed entity will be subject to the approval of the shareholders in a general meeting by way of a special resolution once every five years starting from the date of grant of such special right.
This comes amid public institutional shareholders increasingly voicing their concerns against special rights being conferred upon the promoters, founders, and certain body corporates of those companies.
Sebi noted that shareholders' agreements are drafted in such a way that those special rights (nomination rights) would continue to be available even after significant dilution of their holding in those entities. This permits the shareholders to enjoy such special rights perpetually, which is against the principle of rights being proportional to one's holding in a company.
Also, the regulator said that all directors appointed to the board of a listed entity need to go through a periodic shareholders' approval process, thereby providing legitimacy to the director to continue to serve on the board.
This would substantially address the concerns around the grant of board permanency by listed entities to certain selected persons -- mostly promoter-directors or related persons -- by invoking the rights conferred on it by the AoA of a company or by such persons being appointed as directors deliberately making them not liable to 'retirement by rotation' and without a defined tenure.
"With effect from April 1, 2024, the continuation of a director serving on the board of directors of a listed entity shall be subject to the approval by the shareholders in a general meeting at least in once every five years from the date of their appointment or reappointment, as the case may be," Sebi said.
As on March 2024, if any director is serving on the board of a listed entity without his/her appointment being subject to shareholders' approval during the last five years, the listed entity will have to take shareholders' approval in the first general meeting to be held after March 31, 2024, for his or her continuation on the board.
Sebi said that agreements whose purpose and effect is to impact the management or control or impose any restriction or create any liability need to be disclosed to the stock exchanges. However, agreements entered by a listed entity for the business operations of a company -- supply agreements, purchase agreements, etc -- would be excluded from the scope of disclosures.
Also, the regulator issued rules to strengthen the framework of slump sales executed outside the scheme of arrangement framework to safeguard the interest of minority shareholders.
It introduced the provisions in the disclosure rules for the sale, disposal, or lease of whole or substantially the whole of the undertaking of the listed company and also mandated disclosure of the objects and commercial rationale for such sale, disposal, or lease, to the shareholders.
Sebi said that for the material events or information which emanate from the listed entity, including those related to acquisitions, Scheme of Arrangement, consolidation of shares, and buyback of securities, the timeline for disclosure by the entity has been reduced from 24 hours to 12 hours.
In case of information that emanates from a decision taken in a meeting of the board of directors, the disclosure should be made within 30 minutes from the closure of such meeting.
Listed entities have been asked to disclose fraud and defaults by directors or senior management as Sebi has specified material information for investors. Currently, such disclosure by a listed entity or its key managerial personnel or promoter, and arrest of key managerial personnel or promoter are mandated.
In addition, listed entities have been asked to disclose default in payment of fines, penalties, and dues to any regulatory, statutory, enforcement, or judicial authority.
Also, the regulator asked listed entities to make disclosures in relation to cybersecurity incidents, cybersecurity breaches, or loss of data and documents in the quarterly corporate governance report.
With regard to vacancies of certain key managerial posts, Sebi said that any vacancy in the office of Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director, and Whole Time Director needs to be filled within three months from the date of such vacancy.
Listed entities will have to submit a certificate to the bourses regarding the status of payment of interest, dividend, repayment, and redemption of principal of non-convertible securities, within one working day of it becoming due.
To give these effect, Sebi has amended LODR (Listing of Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) rules, which would come into force from July 14.

Rs 8100 Crore GST Evasion Via 4909 Fake Businesses Detected: Tax Official
Authorities have detected GST evasion to the tune of more than Rs 8,100 crore and it has been found that the offence was carried out through 4,909 bogus business establishments spread in parts of the country, a tax official from Madhya Pradesh said on Wednesday.
MP Commercial Tax Commissioner Lokesh Kumar Jatav said the state Goods and Services Tax (GST) Department got the initial clues of this big tax evasion during a month-long investigation of e-way bills of an establishment in Indore.
"On a detailed analysis and scrutiny of the data, a total of 4,909 suspicious business establishments were found across the country. Of these, a maximum of 1,888 establishments are in Delhi, 831 in Uttar Pradesh, 474 in Haryana, 210 in Tamil Nadu, 201 in Maharashtra, 167 in Telangana and 139 in Madhya Pradesh," he said.
Jatav said that these 4,909 establishments under investigation showed a turnover of about Rs 29,000 crore in GST returns during the financial years 2021-22 and 2022-23 and the investigation detected evasion of Rs 8,103 crore.
The tax evasion was done by taking undue advantage of input tax credit of GST through bogus business and fake bills, he said.
According to Jatav, the GST department of Madhya Pradesh would conduct a detailed investigation of tax evasion in coordination with the authorities concerned of other states and also register a first information report (FIR) against the accused.

Subhash Chandra, Punit Goenka Barred From Company Boards By Regulator
Markets regulator Sebi on Monday barred Essel Group chairman Subhash Chandra and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) MD and CEO Punit Goenka from holding the position of a director or key managerial personnel in any listed company for siphoning off funds of the media firm.
The case pertains to Chandra, who was also the chairman of ZEEL during the alleged violation, and Goenka having abused their position as directors or KMPs of a listed company for siphoning off funds for their own benefit.
In its interim order, Sebi noted that Chandra and Goenka alienated the assets of ZEEL and other listed companies of Essel Group for the benefit of associate entities, which are owned and controlled by them.
The siphoning of funds appears to be a well-planned scheme since, in some instances, the layering of transactions involved using as many as 13 entities as pass-through entities within a short period of two days only, it added.
Sebi noted that the share price of ZEEL has come down from a high of close to Rs 600 per share to the current price of less than Rs 200 per share during the period FY 2018-19 to FY 2022-23. This erosion of wealth despite the company being so profitable and generating profit after tax consistently would lead to a conclusion that "all was not well with the company".
During this period, the promoter shareholding dropped from 41.62 per cent to the current level of 3.99 per cent.
Although the promoter family is only holding 3.99 per cent shares in ZEEL, Chandra and Goenka continue to be at the helm of affairs of ZEEL, the order noted.
"Noticees (Chandra and Goneka) created a façade through sham entries to misrepresent to the investors as well as the regulator that money had been returned by associate entities, whereas in reality, it was ZEEL's own funds which were rotated through multiple layers to finally end in ZEEL's account.
The noticees have attempted to ride piggyback on the success of ZEEL, the flagship company of Essel Group, to bankroll the associate entities, which are owned and controlled by them," Sebi said in its 17-page order.
The order came after Sebi conducted an examination in the wake of the resignation of two independent directors -- Sunil Kumar and Neharika Vohra -- of ZEEL in November 2019.
They had raised concerns over several issues, including the appropriation of certain Fixed Deposit (FD) of ZEEL by Yes Bank for squaring off loans of related entities of Essel Group. Vohra alleged that bank guarantees were given to a subsidiary without approval from ZEEL's board.
Sebi's investigation found that Chandra had provided a “Letter of Comfort” or LoC in September 2018, that was towards a Rs 200 crore loan outstanding from Essel Group Mobility.
Going by the letter, the Rs 200 crore FD available with Yes Bank from any of the Essel Group companies, including ZEEL, could be taken to settle it. Accordingly, Yes Bank had adjusted the loans of seven associate entities with this Rs 200 crore of ZEEL.
Later, it was found that these seven entities were owned or controlled by family members of Chandra and Goenka, Sebi noted.
When Sebi investigated further, ZEEL submitted that Rs 200 crore had been returned by the associate entities to ZEEL. Since Chandra and Goenka had signed the LoCs without consulting or informing the Board, both were found to have violated provisions of LODR (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) rules.
Accordingly, Sebi said, "Noticees shall cease to hold the position of a director or a Key Managerial Personnel in any listed company or its subsidiaries until further orders". PTI SP MR

Air India Repairs Plane Stranded in Russia, Lands In Mumbai
Air India's Boeing aircraft that was grounded in Magadan in far east Russia landed in Mumbai on Saturday evening.
The plane had taken off from Magadan earlier in the day after engineers rectified the oil system defect in one of the engines, according to the airline.
On June 6, AI 173 operating from Delhi to San Francisco carrying 216 passengers and 16 crew members was diverted to the port city of Magadan in far east Russia following a mid-air glitch in one of the engines of the Boeing 777-200LR aircraft.
All were stranded in the port city for two days and the replacement aircraft ferried them to San Francisco on June 8.
An Air India spokesperson on Saturday said the B777-200LR aircraft, bearing registration mark VT-ALH, that was grounded in Magadan, Russia (GDX) following the diversion of AI173 DEL-SFO on June 6, has departed GDX and is on its way to Mumbai.
"We can confirm that a defect in the oil system of one of the aircraft's engines has been rectified by our engineering team that flew on a ferry flight to GDX on June 7. The aircraft was checked on all safety parameters and certified serviceable before take off from GDX today," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Later in the evening, the spokesperson said the aircraft landed at Mumbai airport at around 8.16 pm.
According to a source, there were two pilots and eight cabin crew onboard the aircraft.
The airline had sent four engineers on the ferry flight to Magadan on June 7 and the issue of oil pressure in one of the engines of the stranded aircraft was fixed.
