We also refer to our earlier letters, wherein we had informed you about receipt of no-objection/ approval letters including from stock exchanges, Reserve Bank of India, Securities and Exchange Board of India, Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority and the Competition Commission of India.

In this connection, we wish to inform you that we have been informed that Financial Services Commission, Mauritius has granted its approval for the proposed transfer of shares of Griha Investments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HDFC Holdings Limited and a foreign step-down subsidiary of HDFC Limited, from HDFC Holdings Limited to HDFC Bank as a result of the Proposed Amalgamation.

The Scheme remains subject to certain statutory and regulatory approvals, as may be required.
