Further HDFC Bank needs to ensure that the &#147;aggregate holding&#148; by its group entities in the above-mentioned banks does not exceed 9.50% of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">paid-up</FONT> share capital or voting rights of the respective
banks, at all times. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Kindly note that as per the Reserve Bank of India (Acquisition and Holding of Shares or Voting Rights in Banking Companies)
Directions, 2023 (&#147;RBI Directions&#148;), &#145;aggregate holding&#146; includes shareholding by the Bank, entities under the same management/ control, mutual funds, trustees, promoter group entities, etc. In view of the same, whilst HDFC Bank
does not intend to invest in these banks, since the &#147;aggregate holding&#148; of HDFC Bank group entities is likely to exceed the prescribed limit of 5%, an application seeking approval of RBI for increase in investment limits was made. Further,
since the RBI Directions is applicable to HDFC Bank, the Bank had made the application to RBI on behalf of the Group, on September&nbsp;20, 2024. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Please
