India's former Chief Election Commissioner and ex-Union Finance Secretary takes the board's helm from July 15, succeeding interim chairman Keki Mistry.
The Reserve Bank of India has approved Rajiv Kumar's appointment as HDFC Bank's Part-Time Chairman for a three-year term, effective July 15.
Kumar brings a rare dual background to the role: he is India's former Chief Election Commissioner and a former Union Finance Secretary.
He succeeds interim chairman Keki Mistry, who will continue on the board as a non-executive director.
The appointment lands as HDFC Bank works through what is described as the most complex transition in its history — integrating the HDFC merger, adjusting to tightening RBI liquidity rules, and shifting to AI-driven automated operations.
