IDFC First Bank Returns ₹583 Cr But Shares Struggle 

Swift Repayment Made:

IDFC First Bank paid ₹583 crore principal plus interest to Haryana govt within 24 hours after detecting ₹590 crore fraud at Chandigarh branch.

Employee Collusion Suspected:

Preliminary findings show branch employees fraudulently cleared forged instruments, potentially colluding with external parties. Four employees suspended, FIR registered under Prevention of Corruption Act. 

Why Shares Aren't Rising:

 
Despite repayment, ICICI Securities cut target 18% to ₹80, downgraded to 'Add'. Fraud points to internal control gaps, risks government business prospects.

Financial Impact Manageable:

₹590 crore equals 1.3% net worth, 19 bps of risk-weighted assets. Worst-case provisioning would hit Q4 FY26 profit 56%. Bank has ₹165 crore contingent provisions. 

De-Empanelment Risk:

 
Haryana de-empaneled bank from government business. Government deposits constitute 8-10% total deposits. Incident clouds future float and fee income from state contracts.
