IndusInd Bank shares came under pressure in early trade on June 3, falling over 2% after reports surfaced regarding a fresh whistleblower complaint addressed to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and other regulatory agencies. The stock was trading at around ₹888 on the NSE during morning trade as investors reacted to the latest governance-related developments surrounding the private sector lender.
According to reports, the complaint was submitted at the end of May and seeks a detailed investigation into allegations of insider trading, governance lapses, and shortcomings in the forensic and audit reviews conducted at the bank. The allegations have intensified scrutiny on IndusInd Bank, which has already been dealing with regulatory and investor concerns following the discovery of accounting discrepancies in its derivatives portfolio.
The latest complaint comes amid ongoing investigations into potential insider trading by former and current bank officials. Earlier, market regulator SEBI had initiated probes into whether certain executives traded securities while in possession of unpublished price-sensitive information related to accounting irregularities disclosed by the bank.
IndusInd Bank has rejected the allegations contained in the whistleblower complaint, describing them as unsubstantiated and maintaining that all actions were taken in line with internal policies, governance frameworks, and regulatory requirements. The bank has previously stated that it remains committed to transparency and cooperation with regulators.
The lender has faced heightened regulatory scrutiny over the past year following the disclosure of accounting discrepancies linked to derivatives transactions and other financial reporting issues. Multiple reviews, including forensic examinations and internal audits, have been undertaken as regulators and the bank seek to strengthen oversight and restore investor confidence.
Investors are expected to closely monitor any regulatory response to the latest complaint, as further developments could influence market sentiment toward the bank and the broader private banking sector.
