Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its ‘CRISIL AAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+’ ratings on the debt instruments of Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC). CRISIL Ratings has also withdrawn its outstanding ratings on the debt instruments of HDFC as these have been transferred to HDFC Bank Limited (HDFC Bank) post the consummation of the scheme for amalgamation of HDFC with and into HDFC bank (scheme). The rating action follows receipt of the required documentation in line with CRISIL Ratings’ withdrawal policy.

 

Consequent to redemption, CRISIL Ratings has withdrawn its rating on debentures of Rs 6,250 crore (See Annexure 'Details of rating withdrawn' for details) in line with its withdrawal policy. CRISIL Ratings has received independent confirmation that these instruments are fully redeemed and hence not transferred to HDFC Bank.

 

The rating follows the amalgamation of HDFC, with and into HDFC Bank. On June 30, 2023, the Board of Directors of HDFC Limited and HDFC Bank noted that the requisite approvals had been obtained.

The following outcomes arise from the scheme, which is effective July 1, 2023:

  • HDFC Investments and HDFC Holdings have been amalgamated with and into HDFC
  • HDFC has been amalgamated with and into HDFC Bank
  • Subsidiaries of HDFC Limited have become subsidiaries of HDFC Bank

 

The ratings on HDFC continue to factor in the leading market position and the corporation’s sound track record in the housing finance business, its healthy asset quality, diversified and stable resource profile and a strong financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by exposure to intense competition in the housing finance segment.

About the Company

HDFC, a housing finance company, was incorporated in 1977; its initial shareholders included International Finance Corporation, Washington, and the Aga Khan Trust. As on March 31, 2023, AUM stood at Rs 7,23,988 crore of which 83% consisted of loans to individuals. Loans to corporate entities, lease rental discounting, and construction finance accounted for 4%, 6% and 7%, respectively.
