Six officials of IndusInd Bank are under investigation for insider trading amid accounting issues that the bank's management allegedly knew about as early as September 2024. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has asked IndusInd Bank to clarify the delay in disclosing these accounting problems. This controversy has prompted SEBI to potentially delay Hinduja Group's acquisition of Invesco. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed easing investment norms for Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) by banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). The RBI's revised framework includes a 10% cap on a single regulated entity's contribution to any AIF, stricter provisioning rules, and has invited stakeholder feedback by June 8, 2025. Additionally, lenders have flagged concerns regarding draft gold loan guidelines issued by the RBI, and SEBI's recent orders have raised questions about the risks associated with merchant bankers controlling SME IPO funds.
