The bank has informed all shareholders about this facility through newspaper publications in Business Standard and its Marathi translation in Navshakti on April 3, 2026.

Special Window Details

The special window has been opened for a period of one year to facilitate specific transfer and dematerialisation requirements. The facility addresses physical securities transactions that occurred before regulatory changes and previously rejected transfer requests.

Transfer Process and Restrictions

The special window covers transfer requests that were submitted earlier but were rejected, returned, or not attended to due to deficiencies in documents, processes, or other reasons. All securities transferred through this facility will be subject to specific conditions and restrictions.

Key Requirements:

• Securities will be mandatorily credited to transferees only in demat mode
• Transferred securities will be under lock-in for one year from registration date
• No transfer, lien-marking, or pledging allowed during lock-in period

Documentation and Process

Investors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by furnishing necessary documents to the bank's Registrar and Transfer Agent. The designated agent for processing these requests is Datamatics Business Solutions Limited.

Regulatory Compliance

The announcement was made through official communication to both BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited on April 3, 2026. The communication was signed by Ajay Agarwal, Company Secretary and Group Head – Secretarial & Group Oversight, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for shareholder notifications.

HDFC Bank Limited has announced that its Board of Directors will convene on April 18, 2026, to consider the issuance of various debt instruments. The bank communicated this development to stock exchanges through an official intimation under SEBI regulations.

Board Meeting Agenda

The board meeting will focus on evaluating the issuance of multiple types of debt instruments over the next twelve months. The bank plans to raise capital through private placement mode across different categories of bonds and instruments.

Regulatory Compliance

The intimation was sent to both major stock exchanges where HDFC Bank is listed. The communication follows the bank's earlier intimation dated March 24, 2026, regarding the scheduled board meeting.

Capital Structure Strategy

The proposed debt instruments serve different capital adequacy requirements for the bank. Perpetual Debt Instruments will contribute to Additional Tier I capital, while Tier II Capital Bonds will strengthen the bank's Tier II capital base. The Long-Term Bonds specifically target infrastructure sub-sector financing, aligning with the bank's lending strategy.

Private Placement Approach

HDFC Bank has chosen the private placement route for these debt instrument issuances. This method allows the bank to raise capital from select institutional investors without going through the public offering process. The twelve-month timeframe provides flexibility in timing the issuances based on market conditions and capital requirements.

The official communication was signed by Ajay Agarwal, Company Secretary and Group Head – Secretarial & Group Oversight, and sent from the bank's registered office at HDFC House, Churchgate, Mumbai.
