HDFC Bank appoints Rajiv Kumar, a former Finance Secretary, as its part-time chairman, according to multiple reports. The appointment follows months after Atanu Chakraborty resigned abruptly, which raised governance-related questions about the lender, Bloomberg notes. NDTV and Business Line add background on Kumar’s career, including that he later served as India’s 25th Chief Election Commissioner. Business Line reports that the bank’s board approves the role and that Kumar will be appointed as an additional director effective June 30, 2026, for a four-year term. The Hindu also reports the same appointment but does not provide additional details in the supplied excerpt. Across the sources, the key elements are consistent: HDFC Bank names Rajiv Kumar as part-time chairman, references his senior government experience, and specifies a start date and term length for the additional director appointment. The reports do not indicate other changes to the bank’s management in the provided text.
