On March 18, 2026, HDFC Bank Limited (NYSE: HDB) allegedly filed a letter with the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, reporting the resignation of Atanu Chakraborty from his roles as part-time Chairman and Independent Director of HDFC. The HDFC class action lawsuit further alleges that the HDFC letter attached Mr. Chakraborty's resignation letter, which stated that "[c]ertain happenings and practices within the bank, that I have observed over last two years, are not in congruence with my personal Values and Ethics. This is the basis of my aforementioned decision."

On May 27, 2026, The Indian Express published an article entitled "HDFC Bank 'camouflaged' crores as marketing spend to pay higher interest to state firm." The article allegedly reported that HDFC had made covert payments of approximately "Rs 45 crore," or approximately $4.7 million USD, to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation ("MSRDC") to induce MSRDC to make large deposits with HDFC. The complaint alleges that HDFC offered 6.01% interest to MSRDC, a 2.51% markup over the interest offered to other savings accounts, and paid that markup by "disguis[ing] [it] as sponsorship payments for a road safety awareness campaign run by MSRDC." The complaint further alleges that reportedly, an internal probe in March and April 2026, concluded that over ten top officials bore responsibility, including HDFC's CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan.

Shares of HDFC Bank Limited (NYSE: HDB) declined from $39.81 per share on July 23, 2025, to as low as $22.91 per share on June 08, 2026.
