IndusInd Bank, one of India's largest private sector lenders, is facing significant challenges as it has been imposed with a substantial penalty by GST authorities. The bank recently disclosed that it has been slapped with a ₹30.15 crore penalty for various GST-related issues, which has led to increased scrutiny and a potential impact on its shares. This development underscores the bank's ongoing struggles with financial discrepancies, including issues with its derivatives portfolio.
The penalty was imposed by the Joint Commissioner of CGST & Central Excise, Thane Commissionerate, under Section 122(1)(ii) of the CGST Act, 2017, though the exact nature of the GST discrepancies was not revealed. IndusInd Bank has stated that it will explore filing an appeal against the order, emphasizing its intention to challenge the penalty through legal means[1][2].
Since the announcement, IndusInd Bank's shares have experienced a decline. On the day of the announcement, shares closed at ₹669.15 on the BSE, marking a drop of about 2.42%[2]. However, subsequent reports highlighted a sharper fall, with shares dropping over 5% on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on another trading day[4]. This volatility reflects investor concerns over the bank's financial health and regulatory challenges.
In recent times, IndusInd Bank has faced multiple financial challenges, including a significant decline in its net profit for the December quarter. The bank reported a net profit of ₹1,402.3 crore, down 39% from the same period last year, despite surpassing some expectations[2][3].
IndusInd Bank also disclosed discrepancies in its derivatives portfolio, which could potentially impact its net worth by 2.35%. This revelation led to a sharp decline in its stock price earlier in 2025[1]. As a response, the bank has appointed Grant Thornton to conduct a forensic review to assess the nature of these discrepancies and whether they indicate internal misstatements or fraud[1].
The bank is under heightened scrutiny, with regulatory bodies closely monitoring its financial health. Despite these challenges, IndusInd Bank's management has reassured investors that it expects to remain profitable in the upcoming quarters. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also confirmed that the bank remains well-capitalized and financially stable, providing some reassurance to investors[4].
The GST penalty and ongoing financial discrepancies have placed IndusInd Bank under intense scrutiny. As the bank navigates these challenges, investors and regulatory bodies alike are watching its next steps closely. The appeal against the GST penalty and the forensic review of its derivatives portfolio will be crucial in determining the bank's future trajectory.
