The announcement concerns the unavailability of the MD & CEO due to a regulatory re-assessment. While operations are stated to be stable, the core issue of the CEO's status introduces uncertainty, balancing out positive operational updates.
Fino Payments Bank Limited has informed the stock exchanges that its Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer (MD & CEO), Mr. Rishi Gupta, has been unavailable to perform his role in a regular manner for more than 45 days in a rolling period of 90 days. This unavailability is due to the pending re-assessment of his fit and proper status by the Bank's Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors, with a view taken by the Reserve Bank of India.
Mr. Gupta is expected to resume his office as MD & CEO post the completion of this re-assessment process. During his absence, an Interim CEO was appointed with the approval of the RBI. The bank assures its customers and stakeholders that its operations remain stable and uninterrupted, continuing in the normal course of business.
Fino Payments Bank recently recorded its highest-ever deposit balance in March 2026 and witnessed strong momentum in its referral lending business, reinforcing its strong fundamentals and readiness for future growth.
