The notice, dated July 3, 2026, details that Mr. Mahapatra's appointment is effective from June 12, 2026, until March 9, 2029, as approved by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on June 12, 2026.

The proposed remuneration includes a fixed amount of ₹24 lakh per annum, along with sitting fees for attending board and committee meetings. This remuneration is subject to RBI approval and any stipulated conditions. The bank is also seeking member approval for this remuneration as it exceeds fifty percent of the total annual remuneration payable to all Non-Executive Directors.
Shareholders can cast their votes electronically through remote e-voting. The e-voting period commences on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. IST and concludes on Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. IST.
