FIPB to consider HDFC Bank's FDI proposal on Oct 1

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 25 September 2014 | 21.03

If the proposal of the bank to raise foreign investment to 67.55 percent is accepted, it would exceed the cap of 74 percent, after taking into account parent HDFC Ltd's stake.

The long pending controversial proposal of  HDFC Bank to hike foreign holding would be taken up by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board on October 1. HDFC Bank's proposal would come up for consideration in the next meeting, sources said. Late last year, HDFC Bank had approached the FIPB for increasing the foreign holding in the bank to 67.55 percent from 49 percent.

If the proposal of the bank to raise foreign investment to 67.55 percent is accepted, it would exceed the cap of 74 percent, after taking into account parent HDFC Ltd's stake. The Department of Economic Affairs and DIPP (Department Of Industrial Policy & Promotion) are of view that promoter HDFC Ltd's 22.56 percent stake in HDFC Bank is foreign investment.

Foreign entities, including FIIs, hold more than 77.36 percent in HDFC Ltd. The foreign holding in a bank cannot exceed 74 percent as per the existing norms. At the end of June 2014, foreign institutional investment (FII) in HDFC Bank was 33.93 per cent, according to BSE data.

Further, foreign investors hold another 16.90 percent shares through ADRs and GDRs. If the promoter's (HDFC Ltd) stake of 22.56 percent is deemed to be foreign, then the total of the above mentioned three categories would take foreign investment to over 74 percent. FDI, FII, NRI holding, ADR/GDR, convertible preference shares, foreign currency convertible bonds are treated as foreign investment under the FDI policy.

Investments by HDFC Ltd, which is 77.36 percent owned by FIIs, and associate companies, in HDFC Bank were made before 2009, when the government came out with norms to calculate the level of foreign investment in companies.
