IndusInd Bank on Monday announced that it has approved the appointment of veteran Rajiv Anand as its chief executive officer for a period of three years. ADVERTISEMENT The appointment is effective from August 25, 2025 upto August 24, 2028, the lender informed through stock exchange filing. The new appointment of the banking veteran comes as the lender was functioning been without a full-time CEO since Sumant Kathpalia resigned at the end of April, taking moral responsibility for the derivatives accounting controversy. In the interim, the bank was being managed by a committee of senior executives including Soumitra Sen, head of consumer banking, and Anil Rao, chief administrative officer. Anand retired as deputy managing director of Axis Bank on August 3 upon completion of his third term as a director on the bank's board. ET had reported that Anand was seen as the frontrunner for the role. Anand, 59, is a chartered accountant with over 35 years of experience across asset management, retail banking, and wholesale banking. He joined Axis Group in 2009 as founding managing director of Axis Asset Management Co. In 2013, he transitioned to Axis Bank as president of retail banking and later assumed leadership of its wholesale banking division in 2018.

These errors led to inflated notional profits, concealing the true financial state of the derivatives portfolio over multiple reporting periods. ADVERTISEMENT ( Originally published on Aug 04, 2025 )

GST evasion of over ₹7 trillion detected in five years: Centre
New Delhi: India's indirect tax administration has detected ₹ 7 trillion worth of goods and services tax (GST) evasion in 91,000 cases in five years through March 2025. Of this, taxpayers have deposited ₹ 1.29 trillion voluntarily, minister of state for finance Pankaj Chaudhary informed Lok Sabha on Monday in a written reply. The extent of tax evasion detected has steadily risen from over ₹ 49,300 crore in FY21 to ₹ 2.23 trillion in FY25, the minister said. Of the total tax evasion detected, ₹ 1.78 trillion is related to fake input tax credits. Of this, about 7% has been voluntarily deposited by the taxpayers. To be sure, part of the disputed tax amounts get dropped in appellate proceedings, while some of the demands are challenged in courts. The increase in tax evasion detected coincides with an expansion of data collection and reporting requirements implemented by the tax administration. The Centre and Goods and Services Tax Network, the company that processes tax returns, have taken several steps to improve compliance and prevent tax evasion, the minister said. These include e-invoicing transactions, automated risk assessment of entities based on their compliance attributes, highlighting outliers based on system-flagged mismatches, identifying anomalies in taxpayer behaviour, and selecting returns for scrutiny and taxpayers for audit based on various risk parameters. These measures are helpful in safeguarding the revenue and nabbing the evaders, Chaudhary said. Chaudhary said newer techniques, like facial recognition systems and e-way bill data, were used to identify GST identification numbers with a propensity for fake or fraudulent activity early on. 'While the above measures contribute to revenue collection, impact of such measures in identifying systemic gaps, improving compliance and preventing recurring tax evasion is not ascertainable. The outcomes such as revenue growth and reduction in instances of tax evasion cannot be attributed solely to all or any individual such measure, as various other factors such as global economic conditions, economic growth in the country, level of domestic consumption of goods and services, tax rate, etc. are also relevant for this,' Chaudhary said. In response to another question on reducing the 18% GST on health and life insurance policies, the minister informed the House that the issue was placed before the GST Council on 9 September 2024 in New Delhi. After detailed deliberations, the GST Council recommended setting up a ministerial panel to review the matter. Samrat Choudhary, deputy chief minister of Bihar, is the panel's convenor.
