Fino Payments Bank: RBI Approves Extension for Interim CEO Ketan Merchant's Tenure
Fino Payments Bank's Interim CEO, Mr. Ketan Merchant, has received an extension for his tenure from the RBI. The approval allows him to continue for another three months starting August 27, 2026, or until a permanent CEO is appointed.
The extension of an interim CEO's tenure is a procedural matter and does not represent a significant strategic shift or a major financial event for the company.
The announcement is a routine regulatory approval for an extension of tenure for an interim position and does not inherently suggest a positive or negative development for the company's performance or outlook.
Fino Payments Bank Limited has announced that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has approved an extension for Mr. Ketan Merchant's tenure as the Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Bank.
This extension is for a further period of three months, effective from August 27, 2026. The new tenure will continue until a regular Managing Director (MD) & CEO takes charge, whichever occurs earlier.
This disclosure follows a previous communication dated August 24, 2026, and the RBI's approval was communicated via a letter dated August 25, 2026. The announcement was made on August 26, 2026. The Bank will also make this information available on its website, www.fino.bank.in.
