HDFC Bank said in an exchange filing that Sebi mentioned non-compliance with certain provisions of the merchant banking rules, capital and disclosure requirements and prohibition of insider trading regulations.
The warning letter dated December 9 was received by the bank on December 11. The stock, about a percentage point away from all-time highs, retreated 0.3% Thursday, in line with the broader market.
Without disclosing more details about the irregularities, the bank said it will take necessary steps to address concerns and directives mentioned in the letter.
