RBI clears Piramal Group s takeover plan for DHFL
19 February 2021
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is reported to have cleared Piramal Capital and Housing Finance Limited’s (PCHFL) proposal to acquire bankrupt Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL), as proposed by the committee of creditors (CoC).
RBI gave its go-ahead for the deal earlier this week, clearing Piramal Capital and Housing Finance under the “fit and proper” criteria required for the acquisition. However, RBI turned down a request by PCHFL, a non-deposit taking NBFC, to get converted into a deposit-taking NBFC.
RBI’s nod brings Piramal Group one step closer to the acquisition of DHFL, pending the final clearance from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
