To,

The Chairman

HDFC Bank Limited

CIN: L65920MH1994PLC080618

HDFC Bank House,

Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel (W),

Mumbai - 400 013.

Dear Sir,

Pursuant to the resolution passed by the Board of Directors of HDFC Bank Limited (hereinafter referred as “the Bank”) on, February 20, 2025, I, Manisha Maheshwari, Partner of M/s. Bhandari and Associates, Company Secretaries, have been appointed as a Scrutinizer for conducting the Postal Ballot including voting by electronic means in respect of passing of the resolution contained in the postal ballot notice dated February 20, 2025 (“Notice”) in a fair and transparent manner.

The management of the Bank is responsible to ensure compliance with Sections 108, 110 and other applicable provisions, if any, of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) (including any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) read with Rules 20 and 22 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014 (“the Rules”), as amended from time to time, including General Circular No. 14/2020 dated April 08, 2020, No. 17/2020 dated April 13, 2020 and the subsequent circulars issued in this regard the latest being Circular No. 09/2024 dated September 19, 2024 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (collectively referred to as “MCA Circulars”) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD1/CIR/P/2020/79 dated May 12, 2020 and the subsequent circulars issued in this regard from time to time, the latest being Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/CFD-PoD-2/P/CIR/2024/133 dated October 03, 2024, (hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘SEBI Circulars’) and Regulation 44 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“SEBI Listing Regulations”) and other applicable provisions thereunder, Secretarial Standards on General Meetings issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (“SS-2”), and the SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/AFD/AFD-PoD-2/P/CIR/2024/70 for Foreign Portfolio Investors, Designated Depository participants and Eligible Foreign Investors dated May 30, 2024 relating to voting through electronic means by the Members on the resolutions proposed in the Postal ballot Notice dated February 20, 2025 of the Bank and other applicable laws and regulations, relating to postal ballot including voting by electronic means.

My responsibility as a scrutinizer for the voting process is restricted to make a scrutinizer report on the votes cast “in favour” or “against” the resolution on the reports generated from the e-voting system provided by the National Securities Depository Limited (“NSDL”), the authorized service provider for extending the facility of electronic voting to the Members of the Bank.


Further to the above, I submit my report as under:

In terms of Section 110 of the Act read with Section 108 and Rules 20 and 22 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014, and all other applicable provisions, if any the Bank has issued a Postal Ballot Notice dated February 20, 2025 for passing of the resolutions mentioned in the said notice to its Members.

 

2.
