Impact on Stakeholding

As of March 31, 2024, FIH held a 49.72% stake in CSB Bank. Post-transaction, this stake will be reduced to 40%. This sale comes amid a 15% decline in CSB Bank's shares this year, contrasting with the Sensex's 9% gain.

Historical Context

In 2018, Fairfax Group was approved by the banking regulator to acquire up to a 51% stake in CSB Bank. This move made CSB Bank the first in India to have majority ownership by a foreign investor. Initially, banking regulations mandated that promoters reduce their stake to 15% after 15 years.

Regulatory Changes

These regulations were challenged in the Bombay High Court by Uday Kotak, founder of Kotak Mahindra Bank, who advocated for allowing promoters to retain up to 26% ownership. This led to a regulatory shift permitting higher promoter stakes.
