The Board of Directors of HDFC Ltd. and HDFC Bank at the meeting held earlier this month approved the merger proposal of two leading financial institutions. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the HDFC Ltd shareholders will receive 42 HDFC bank shares for 25 shares owned. Existing HDFC shareholders will have 41 percent of HDFC banks.
