Kotak Mahindra Bank Share Price: Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank fell over 3.5 per cent in early trade today. This fall in the company’s shares has come after the resignation of one of its top executives. The resignation comes a week after RBI imposed restrictions on the bank. RBI has banned banks from acquiring new customers and issuing new credit cards through digital channels. After the ban, the bank’s Joint Managing Director KVS M.yan has resigned from his post with immediate effect on Tuesday. He was recently promoted to this post.
Our associate channel CNBC-TV18 quoted sources as saying that KVS M.yan is going to Federal Bank. Sources have also revealed that the tenure of the current Managing Director and CEO of Federal Bank, Shyam Srinivasan, is ending in September this year, after which KVS M.an can be given the charge.
However, there has been no official confirmation of this. Federal Bank will present its March quarter results today and also share its future plans.
