The following Explanatory Statement sets out the relevant information as required under Section 102 and other applicable provisions, if any, of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “ Act ”), read with rules framed thereunder and Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“ Listing Regulations ”).
As regards the material related party transactions, the explanatory statement also contains the disclosures required under Industry Standards on “Minimum information to be provided to the Audit Committee and Members for approval of Related Party Transactions” (“ ISN ”) formulated by Industry Standard Forum in consultation with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“ SEBI ”), issued on June 26, 2025 and effective from September 01, 2025.
Common Statement for Resolution Nos. 1 to 4:
Regulation 23 of the Listing Regulations requires Members’ prior approval by means of an ordinary resolution for all material related party transactions and subsequent material modifications as defined by the Audit Committee, even if such transactions are in the ordinary course of business and on an arm’s length basis.
As per the Regulation 23(1) of the Listing Regulations read with Schedule XII, for a listed entity whose annual consolidated turnover is more than 40,000 crore, a transaction with a related party shall be considered material if the transaction(s) to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions with such related party during a financial year exceeds 3,000 crore + 2.5% of the annual consolidated turnover of the listed entity above 40,000 crore or 5,000 crore, whichever is lower. Since the annual consolidated turnover of HDFC Bank Limited (the “ Bank ”) for the financial year 2024-25 was 4,70,915.93 crore, any transaction(s) with related party will be considered material if the transaction(s) to be entered into individually or taken together with previous transactions with such related party during a financial year, exceeds 5,000 crore.
Since the proposed transactions of the Bank with HDB Financial Services Limited (“ HDB ”), HDFC Securities Limited (“ HSL ”), HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited (“ HDFC Life ”) and HDFC ERGO General Insurance Company Limited (“ HDFC ERGO ”), subsidiaries of the Bank, may exceed the above threshold limit during financial year 2026-27, the same requires the prior approval of the Audit Committee and the Members of the Bank.

Apart from the transactions as specifically mentioned in Resolution Nos. 1 to 4 and also in the statement hereunder, there may be other transactions / arrangements with these subsidiaries, including but not limited to payment of interest on the bonds and sale / purchase of fixed asset etc., the need for which cannot be foreseen currently. Accordingly, approval of the Members is also being sought for such transactions that may be entered into by the Bank with these subsidiaries pursuant to the approval received from the Audit Committee as per the applicable laws.
Any subsequent ‘material modification’ in the proposed transactions, as defined in the Policy on Related Party Transactions of the Bank will be placed before the Members for prior approval, in terms of Regulation 23(4) of the Listing Regulations.
Further, the Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, at its meetings held on January 17, 2026 and February 03, 2026, recommended passing of the ordinary resolutions contained in Resolution Nos. 1 to 4 of the Notice to the Members.
Though all the aforesaid transactions being on an arm’s length basis and in the ordinary course of business of the Bank are exempt from the requirements of Section 188 of the Act, approval of the Members is also being sought in terms of Section 188 of the Act for better governance. Prior approval of the Members is being sought for entering into all the arrangements / contracts / agreements / transactions (whether individual transactions or transactions taken together or series of transactions or otherwise) with HDB, HSL, HDFC Life and HDFC ERGO, respectively, whether by way of continuation(s) or extension(s) or renewal(s) or modification(s) of earlier arrangements / contracts / agreements / transactions or as fresh and independent transaction (s) or otherwise, during the financial year 2026-27.
None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel of the Bank or their relatives, except for their directorship in the said subsidiary and / or to the extent of their shareholding in the said subsidiaries and / or the Bank, are concerned / interested, financially or otherwise, in the Resolution Nos. 1 to 4.
