The Mehta family also lodged an FIR against the HDFC Bank CEO on Sunday after the Lilavati Trust allegations. Along with the CEO, the Trust accused eight individuals, including former bank employees, of financial fraud and misappropriation of the trust's funds.
The Mehta family-owned 'Splendour Gems Ltd' defaulted on its loans from HDFC Bank and other consortium banks in 2001. The loans were granted to the entity in 1995.

From HDFC Bank, SBI to ICICI Bank— These banking, financial stocks likely to be in focus today; here's why
Due to upgrades from S&P Global Ratings, several banking and financial stocks, including HDFC Bank, SBI, and ICICI Bank, are likely to be in focus on Monday, August 18. S&P Global Ratings, on Friday, 15 August 2025, upgraded the long-term issuer credit ratings for seven Indian Banks and three financial institutions, one day after increasing India's sovereign credit rating, reported the news agency PTI. S&P Global upgraded the credit ratings of seven Indian banks: State Bank of India (SBI), ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Union Bank of India, and Indian Bank. Bajaj Finance, Tata Capital, and L&T Finance were the three finance companies which also received a credit rating upgrade on Friday. On Thursday, S&P Global Ratings also raised the credit ratings on ONGC, Power Grid, NTPC, and Tata Power to 'BBB' from 'BBB—'. The outlook is stable. Highlighting the Indian economy's resilience and sustained fiscal consolidation, S&P Global Ratings, last Thursday, raised India's long-term credit rating by a notch. It was India's first sovereign rating upgrade from S&P Global Ratings since 2007. Indian government debt, which has remained at S&P's lowest investment grade of 'BBB—' for 18 years, now stands at a higher level of 'BBB.' S&P expects India's GDP to grow at a 6.5 per cent rate in FY26 and foresees a continued momentum over the next three years. The rating agency believes that the impact of recently imposed US tariffs may be limited on India due to the country's large and resilient domestic consumption base. According to PIB, the rating agency suggested that a narrowing fiscal deficit and continued public investment could support further positive rating actions. In the recent past, Morning Star DBRS, another rating agency, has also upgraded India to 'BBB' status. The S&P upgrade highlights India's increased creditworthiness and the strength of the Indian economy. The upgrade may lower the government's borrowing costs, which could allow banks and NBFCs to borrow funds at cheaper rates. Lower interest rates could trigger strong demand for credit, enhancing banks' profitability. Strong economic momentum, due to increased demand, is also expected to augur well for the power and energy sectors. According to Madhavi Arora, Chief Economist at Emkay Global Financial Services, a rating upgrade to a higher investment-grade category of BBB can open the door for new pools of global funds' capital. "All of this will lower India's risk premia and consequently, lower cost of funding across macro agents' curves, including corporates —especially those borrowing abroad," said Arora. "Overall reduced cost of capital for the economy would help India finance its fiscal and CAD and could trigger positive externalities," she added. Experts say stocks such as ONGC, Power Grid, NTPC, Tata Power, SBI, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Union Bank of India, and Indian Bank could stand as key beneficiaries.

Corporate borrowing shifts to banks as SBI MCLR spread over bonds narrows
Corporates are likely to increase bank borrowing as the gap between SBI's lending rates and bond yields shrinks. This spread, which had widened significantly, has now decreased, making bank loans more attractive. SBI anticipates double-digit growth in corporate loan demand as companies find bank financing more cost-effective than the bond market, especially with anticipated MCLR adjustments. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Mumbai: Corporates are poised to return to bank lending as the spread between State Bank of India 's (SBI) Marginal Cost of Funds-based Lending Rate ( MCLR ) and bond yields continues to narrow. The spread, which had widened to 210 basis points in April 2025, has now eased to around 150 bps, levels last seen before the RBI began cutting spread between SBI's MCLR (used as a proxy for bank lending rates) and AAA-rated bond yields was about 150 bps in January 2025, before the central bank began cutting gap widened to 210 bps but has since narrowed as bond yields rose after the August policy meeting. With MCLR expected to fall as deposit rate cuts feed through, the spread is likely to shrink could bring demand back to the bank loan market. The country's largest lender, SBI, anticipates double-digit growth in corporate loan demand , driven in part by companies shifting away from the bond market in favour of bank financing."I don't think there is a large movement of project-finance related activities into NCDs. It is only completed projects that go. We have good visibility on project finance proposals, which gives us confidence we will be able to come back to double-digit growth. Secondly, as MCLR gets readjusted, we become more competitive compared to the market, and that will also help us grow," said CS Setty, chairman of MCLR set to fall and bond yields steady above 7%, bank loans are turning more cost-effective, even as corporate bond yields show little scope for decline.'Corporates have been enjoying reasonably benign interest rates , and with system liquidity, the rates offered to AA and above corporates are pretty attractive,' HDFC Bank MD Sashidhar Jagdishan said during the bank's post-earnings call. 'For corporates we are comfortable with, we will participate in working capital demand.'Jagdishan added that lower interest rates, combined with fiscal support announced in the Union Budget and seasonal sentiment around festivals, could also lift credit for corporate bonds remains concentrated among asset managers such as insurers, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation and mutual to India Ratings, the mandated return requirements of long-term investors will likely keep corporate bond yields anchored near 7%, limiting the scope for further decline.'With MCLR falling and bond yields expected to stay range-bound, the spread could shrink further to 100–120 bps in the second half,' said Soumyajit Niyogi of India Ratings. 'The rate benefit is largely for top-rated companies, while arbitrage between bank loans and bonds is limited for AA-rated and below corporates. The shrinking spread may also slow the shift from bank loans to the bond market.'
