AU Small Finance Bank has re-appointed Vinay Vaish as the Head of Internal Audit for a one-year term effective October 7, 2026. The decision follows recommendations from the bank's Audit and Nomination and Remuneration Committees.

Vaish, a Chartered Accountant with over 30 years of experience, has led the internal audit function since October 2021. His tenure at the bank began in May 2015, where he previously served as Chief of Credit & Collections and Chief of Credit Risk.

The re-appointment comes upon the completion of his current two-year term on October 6, 2026. Vaish holds extensive experience across Risk Management, Credit, Collections, Governance, and Internal Audit functions.

AU Small Finance Bank shares worth ₹85.17 crore changed hands on BSE in a large-trade signal, with approximately 8,40,342 shares flagged at a price of ₹1,013.50 per share.

This is a real-time large-trade signal, not a confirmed block or bulk deal. NSE/BSE publish official block and bulk deal reports only after market close — this trade may or may not appear there.

Trade details

The following table summarises the key parameters of the flagged activity:

The signal reflects a cluster of trades in AU Small Finance Bank shares printed within a short window at or near ₹1,013.50, for a combined value of ₹85.17 crore. The activity was flagged by a real-time trade-scanning system based on size and speed of execution. No buyer, seller, broker, or client identity is known at this stage, as such disclosures are made only by the exchange after market close.

What this is, and isn't

What this is, and isn't: this reflects trade-level activity — a cluster of trades in the stock above, printed within a short window at or near the quoted price, for a combined value as stated. It is generated by our real-time trade-scanning system and is not, by itself, evidence of a block or bulk deal.

A block deal has to be executed in the exchange's dedicated window (8:45–9:00am or 2:05–2:20pm), within a set price band, and above the current minimum order size (₹25 crore). A bulk deal is when one client's total trading in a stock crosses 0.5% of its equity in a single day — confirmed only once every trade that client made is added up.

Both are published by NSE/BSE after trading hours end, typically after 3:30pm — never before. If this trade qualifies as either, it will appear in the exchange's own report later today, not here first.
