IndusInd Bank Clarifies SFIO Probe on Internal Derivative Trades and Unsubstantiated Balances
IndusInd Bank is clarifying a news report about an SFIO probe. Matters related to internal derivative trades and unsubstantiated balances were reported to SFIO on June 2, 2025, as per RBI guidelines for frauds of ₹1 crore and above. SFIO has sought further details.
An SFIO investigation, even if routine reporting, can create uncertainty and potentially impact investor confidence and the bank's reputation. The matters being investigated relate to financial reporting and internal controls.
The bank is providing a factual clarification in response to a media report. While the subject matter involves an investigation, the announcement itself is neutral as it provides information and context without expressing a definitive outcome or impact.
IndusInd Bank Limited has issued a clarification regarding a news report published on December 18, 2025, about the bank being under the scanner of the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO).
The bank stated that as per RBI Master Directions on Fraud Risk Management, any fraud involving ₹1 crore and above must be reported to the SFIO. Accordingly, matters concerning the accounting of internal derivative trades, certain unsubstantiated balances in 'other assets' and 'other liabilities' accounts, and micro finance interest income/fee income were reported to SFIO on June 2, 2025.
SFIO officials had telephonic conversations with bank officials on December 17 and 18, 2025, and have indicated that written communication seeking further details is awaited. The bank affirmed its commitment to complying with disclosure obligations under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations and is hosting this information on its website.
