The company’s board has fixed July 13 as the record date for the swap. Fractional units will be settled by the company in cash, and credited to the investor’s bank account.
HDFC Bank shares closed nearly 1% down at Rs 1,633, valuing the standalone bank at Rs 9. 1 lakh crore. Going by Wednesday’s closing price, 25 shares of HDFC are worth Rs 68,250, while 42 shares of the bank are valued at Rs 68,586.
