Why did IndusInd Bank share price drop?

 
A day after reports of a new accounting irregularity probe, IndusInd Bank issued a clarification addressing the matter.
 
 
The bank stated, “With reference to our disclosure on April 22, 2025, we had informed that the Bank’s Internal Audit Department (IAD) was reviewing the Bank’s Microfinance Institution (MFI) business in light of certain concerns raised. The IAD has now submitted its report on May 8, 2025.”
 
According to the findings, a total of ₹674 crore had been incorrectly recorded as interest income over three quarters of FY 2024-25. This amount was fully reversed by January 10, 2025.
 
Additionally, based on a whistleblower complaint, the IAD was instructed by the Audit Committee to investigate entries in the ‘other assets’ and ‘other liabilities' accounts. The audit revealed unsubstantiated balances of ₹595 crore in ‘other assets,’ which were subsequently offset against similar balances in ‘other liabilities’ in January 2025.
 
The IAD also reviewed the conduct and involvement of key employees in relation to these irregularities. The Board has stated it is taking steps to strengthen internal controls, identify those responsible, and implement appropriate corrective actions.
 
“We are conscious of our disclosure obligations under Regulation 30 of the Listing Regulations and shall continue to comply with the same,” IndusInd Bank said, in a statement.  ALSO READ | SKF India share price jumps 9% on posting healthy Q4 results; PAT up 20%
