HDFC Bank share price rose more than 2 percent in the early trade on March 14 after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had lifted the restrictions that were placed on the fresh digital launches of HDFC Bank.
“The Reserve Bank of India has lifted the restriction on the business generating activities planned under the HDFC Bank’s Digital 2.0 programme, vide its letter dated March 11, 2022,” bank said in its press release.
The curbs were imposed by the central bank in December 2020 after repeated outages at the lender’s data centre. The restrictions barred HDFC Bank from launching any of the activities planned under the Digital 2.0 programme as well as the sourcing of new credit cards.
The RBI also asked the bank to fix accountability in the matter pertaining to the data centre outages, and examine reasons behind the lapses.
In August last year, the curbs were partially eased to allow the lender to issue new credit cards. HDFC Bank had, back then, claimed that it issued a record number of credit cards after the restrictions were partially eased.
