HDFC Bank, the largest private lender in India, released its fourth-quarter business update for March 2026, showcasing a 15% year-on-year growth in total deposits, which reached approximately ₹31.06 lakh crore. The bank's average deposits stood at ₹28.51 lakh crore, marking a 12.8% increase from the previous year. In terms of advances, the total reached about ₹30.58 lakh crore, reflecting a 12% growth compared to ₹27.73 lakh crore a year earlier. Notably, average CASA (Current Account Savings Account) deposits increased by 10.8%, while time deposits grew by 13.7%. Despite this positive financial performance, the bank's shares have faced pressure, declining nearly 25% since the beginning of the year, following the resignation of part-time Chairman Atanu Chakraborty, who cited misalignment with his personal values as the reason for his departure.
