HDFC Bank probes allegations of 'improper lending practices' at vehicle financing unit
The tenure of Ashok Khanna, who headed the vehicle financing arm and has worked at bank for around 18 years, was not extended after the probe despite an earlier proposal to do so. Khanna retired in March this year.
The unit of HDFC Bank had total outstanding loans of Rs 1.2 lakh crore as of March 31, 2020, the news agency claimed. Earlier, the bank management was considering increasing Khanna's tenure by at least six months until October.
The decision was reportedly being considered to ensure smooth continuity ahead of the retirement of HDFC Bank Managing Director Aditya Puri. Notably, Khanna, who was due to retire in 2017, had been receiving an extension, primarily due to the importance of his unit.
The bank had probed all allegations leveled by an internal audit committee and it followed due process, the agency reported citing unnamed sources.
