HDFC Bank Ltd. HDFC Bank House, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel,

Mumbai -400 013.

March 13, 2015
We have read with utter dismay the media reports and the allegations made therein. We are shocked at our name being mentioned in them. We categorically deny having known or heard of, let alone interacted with, the individual named in these news reports.
Any suggestion that we may have indulged in any wrong doing is completely baseless and untrue. We state that these allegations, apart from being baseless and untrue, are defamatory and an attempt to malign the reputation of HDFC Bank.
We have always adhered to the highest standards of integrity and propriety in our business conduct, and will continue to do so in the future.
