Bandhan Bank: RBI extends term of Additional Director Arun Kumar Singh till June 2027
Bandhan Bank's Additional Director, Shri Arun Kumar Singh, has had his term extended by the RBI. The extension is for one year, from June 24, 2026, to June 23, 2027. Singh, a former RBI CGM, brings extensive regulatory and banking experience to the board.
The extension of an existing director's term is a procedural event and is unlikely to have a significant immediate impact on the bank's operations or financial performance.
The announcement pertains to the extension of an existing director's term, which is a routine regulatory process and does not inherently indicate a positive or negative change in the bank's performance or outlook.
Bandhan Bank Limited has announced the extension of the term of Shri Arun Kumar Singh as an Additional Director on its Board. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), exercising powers under Section 36AB of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, has extended his term for a further period of one year.
This extension is effective from June 24, 2026, and will continue until June 23, 2027, or until further orders, whichever is earlier. Shri Arun Kumar Singh, a retired Chief General Manager from the RBI, was initially appointed as an Additional Director on the Bank's Board on June 24, 2024.
Shri Arun Kumar Singh is not related to any other Directors of Bandhan Bank and is not disqualified from holding the office of director. He brings extensive experience from his 35-year tenure at the RBI, covering areas such as banking and non-banking regulation and supervision, enforcement actions, information technology, financial inclusion, and monetary policy. His profile also includes roles in significant initiatives like the Asset Quality Review (AQR) and Risk-based Supervision (RBS). He has also served as an RBI nominee director on the boards of various other financial institutions.
