Mumbai: HDFC Bank's governance and financial metrics hold up well despite the resignation of part time chairman Atanu Chakraborty, investors advisory firm InGovern Research said. Investors have no reason for concern on financial strength or leadership of the bank as capacity for earnings growth and payouts stays strong with quality earnings, low risk balance sheet, and clear dividend policy disclosures, the agency said.

"The current episode is more about a governance-oversight nuance driven by an individual's personality rather than a material threat to shareholder value. The board structure appears consistent with global practices for large systemically important banks, and provides a stable foundation for continued oversight, risk management, and shareholder value creation. Senior management is well seasoned and stable, with defined, function-specific leadership under the CEO," InGovern said.
