India’s one of the largest private banks is going through a financial challenge due to accounting disparity. IndusInd Bank 1500 crore crisis sparks 20% stock drop, what exactly happened?
Approximately 1500 crore gap in derivative transactions. The crisis emerged when the Reserve Bank of India mandated all the derivatives to be marked to market, which requires assets and liabilities to be valued at current market rates as of September 2023. This rule exposed the previous losses of IndusInd Bank’s portfolio.
The RBI had to intervene to respond to these discrepancies. It has been instructed to IndusInd to transform leadership roles like CCO and CEO to external candidates. Replacing the existing management raises concerns about their inability to navigate the crisis correctly.
The credit rating agencies have also taken note of the situation. Moody’s, a credit rating and research company, has placed IndusInd Bank under a credit assessment to review their international controls and evaluate the impact of the loss on the bank.
After the news circulated, IndusInd’s stock prices declined by 20%, raising questions about transparency, risk management, and regulatory oversight. The banking sector is also closely analyzing the discrepancies. Although the bank has managed to raise 11,000 crores via short-term notes at a little higher rate.
