Quantum MF objects to scheme of merger of ICICI Securities with ICICI Bank

Quantum Mutual Fund has objected to the scheme of merger of ICICI Securities with parent firm ICICI Bank, saying it is "flawed and bridled with irregularities" and will adversely affect minority shareholders of the broking firm. Last month, ICICI Securities announced that about 72 per cent of its shareholders voted in favour of delisting and subsequent merger with ICICI Bank, even as the majority of retail investors opposed the scheme. "The scheme of merger is flawed and bridled with irregularities," Quantum Mutual Fund MD and CEO Jimmy Patel said in his letter written last week to ICICI Bank and forwarded it to market regulator Sebi and the stock exchanges. In the eight-page letter, Patel said that the scheme will substantially and adversely affect the interest of unitholders of the scheme of Quantum Mutual Fund and as well as minority shareholders of ICICI Securities. Highlighting irregularities, Quantum Mutual Fund has listed out four major grounds for objecting the scheme such

Norges Fund Investment Bank of Norway supports ICICI Securities delisting

Amid Quantum Mutual Fund voting against the proposed delisting of ICICI Securities, the largest public shareholder Norges Fund Investment Bank has voted in favour of the proposal of the stock broking arm of ICICI Bank. The foreign fund, which holds nearly 3.25 per cent stake in ICICI Securities, voted in favour on Thursday, the first day of e-voting, as per the information posted on the website of Norges Fund Investment Bank. The e-voting will remain open till March 26. The move of the Norway-based Norges Bank provided a shot in the arm of ICICI Securities' plan to delist itself as it needs two-thirds of the public shareholders' support to pass the resolution. However, Quantum Mutual Fund, which holds a 0.09 per cent stake in ICICI Securities, voted against the resolution on Thursday. Quantum Mutual Fund opposed the delisting as it did not find the swap share ratio lucrative to the shareholders of ICICI Securities. As per the scheme of arrangement, shareholders of ICICI Securitie

High gap between credit, deposit growth to impact loan sales, NIMs: Report

The continuing gap between credit and deposit growth rates is likely to impact both future loan sales as well as net interest margins of banks, says a report. Credit off-take grew at 20.3 per cent in this fiscal so far while deposits grew at a slower pace of 13.6 per cent YTD, according to the report by Care Ratings. The gap between credit off-take and deposit growth rates has resulted in a lower liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) while private banks led by HDFC Bank are reporting lower LCR than their public sector peers. According to a Care Ratings analysis, HDFC Bank has seen the highest fall from 120 per cent in the July-September quarter of FY24 to around 102 per cent in the third quarter, followed by ICICI Bank and Axis Bank at 118 per cent each for both quarters. On the other hand, the largest lender SBI has around 140 per cent in the second quarter and around 137 per cent in the third quarter of the current fiscal, while PNB and BoB has over 140 per cent each for both quarters.

Arrest of Chanda Kochhar, her husband amounted to abuse of power by CBI: HC

The arrest of ICICI Bank's former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Chanda Kochhar and her husband Deepak Kochhar by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a loan fraud case was "without application of mind and due regard to the law", amounting to an "abuse of power", the Bombay High Court has said. A division bench of Justices Anuja Prabhudessai and N R Borkar had on February 6 held the Kochhars' arrest as illegal and confirmed a January 2023 interim order passed by another bench granting them bail. In the order made available on Monday, the court said the CBI has been unable to demonstrate the existence of circumstances or supportive material based on which the decision to arrest was taken. The absence of such circumstances renders the arrest illegal, it said. "Such routine arrest without application of mind and due regard to the law amounts to an abuse of power," the court said. The court also refused to accept the probe agency's contention that the arre

Arrest of Chanda Kochhar, husband in ICICI-Videocon loan case illegal: HC

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday held as "illegal" the arrest of ICICI Bank's former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Chanda Kochhar and her businessman-husband Deepak Kochhar by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in an alleged loan fraud case. A division bench of Justices Anuja Prabhudessai and N R Borkar confirmed a January 2023 interim order passed by another bench granting the duo bail soon after their arrest in the case. The couple was arrested by the CBI on December 23, 2022, in connection with the Videocon-ICICI Bank loan case. They immediately moved the HC challenging their arrest and sought it to be declared as illegal. By way of an interim order, they also sought to be released on bail. On January 9, 2023, the HC, in its interim order, granted bail to the duo after coming down heavily on the CBI for making the arrest in a "casual and mechanical" manner and without application of mind. On Tuesday, the bench led by Justice Prabhudessai allowed the
