Previously, SEBI had issued warning letters regarding compliance with certain merchant banking and custody regulations. Post-Merger Integration: Following its merger with HDFC Ltd., the bank continues to focus on integrating operations and growing its deposit base.

Its asset management arm recently launched the HDFC Innovation Fund, an equity scheme focused on companies utilizing future technologies and AI.
