<p>RBI has approved the re-appointment of Mr. Shyam Srinivasan as MD and CEO for a period of three years, starting from 23rd Sep'21 till 22nd Sep'24. We see this as a positive development as it addresses a key overhang on the management continuity. Moreover the approval for three years has come at a time when the street was expecting RBI to grant only a one-year extension. On the asset quality front, the initial impact of COVID-19 was in check as FB has no big ticket accounts (over INR1b) in its watch list.</p><div class="content-highlight"><em>Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.
