Bandhan Bank (ISIN INE545U01014) clarified on October 13, 2026 that it had received no communication about reports of an International Holding Company stake purchase in promoter entity Bandhan Financial Services. The statement followed an Economic Times report on October 13, 2026 about early-stage discussions involving Abu Dhabi-based investors.

Promoter stake remains the catalyst

The bank's clarification concerned the promoter level rather than a direct transaction in the lender. According to NDTV Profit on October 13, 2026, Bandhan Bank said it was unaware of any development involving Bandhan Financial Services and had received no communication about the reported negotiations.

The reported structure matters because Bandhan Financial Holdings held a 37.50 percent stake in Bandhan Bank at the end of June 2026, according to Economic Times. The same report said the promoter must reduce its holding to 26.00 percent by 2030 under the bank's licensing agreement.

Loan growth meets funding pressure

Bandhan's September business update showed loans and advances at INR 158,335 crore on September 30, 2026, an increase of 13.10 percent from a year earlier and 1.80 percent from June 2026. CNBC TV18 reported the figures on October 4, 2026.

Total deposits rose 9.20 percent year over year to INR 172,689 crore, while the current and savings account ratio declined to 26.71 percent from 29.40 percent in the previous quarter. The comparison gives the market a concrete measure of the funding trade-off: lending expanded faster than the low-cost deposit mix.

What the funding mix means

The September figures point to a bank still expanding its loan book while relying more heavily on term deposits. Retail term deposits increased 16.80 percent year over year to INR 79,340 crore, and collection efficiency stood at 98.90 percent in September 2026, according to CNBC TV18.

Next results date is October 23

TradingView lists October 23, 2026 as Bandhan Bank's next earnings date. That report should put the September loan and deposit figures into a profit and asset-quality context, with the 26.71 percent CASA ratio a key starting point.
