HDFC Bank Awards

Consistently rated among India’s best bank

HDFC Bank Awards

Awards

HDFC Bank began operations in 1995 with a simple mission: to be a "World-class Indian Bank". We realised that only a single-minded focus on product quality and service excellence would help us get there. Today, we are proud to say that we are well on our way towards that goal.

It is extremely gratifying that our efforts towards providing customer convenience have been appreciated both nationally and internationally.

Corporate Governance Rating

The bank was among the first four companies, which subjected itself to a Corporate Governance and Value Creation (GVC) rating by the rating agency, The Credit Rating Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL). The rating provides an independent assessment of an entity's current performance and an expectation on its "balanced value creation and corporate governance practices" in future. The bank has been assigned a 'CRISIL GVC Level 1' rating, which indicates that the bank's capability with respect to wealth creation for all its stakeholders while adopting sound corporate governance practices is the highest. We are aware that all these awards are mere milestones in the continuing, never-ending journey of providing excellent service to our customers. We are confident, however, that with your feedback and support, we will be able to maintain and improve our services.

Credit Rating

HDFC Bank has its deposit programmes rated by two rating agencies - Credit Analysis & Research Limited. (CARE) and Fitch Ratings India Private Limited. The bank's Fixed Deposit programme has been rated 'CARE AAA (FD)' [Triple A] by CARE, which represents instruments considered to be "of the best quality, carrying negligible investment risk". CARE has also rated the bank's Certificate of Deposit (CD) programme "PR 1+" which represents "superior capacity for repayment of short term promissory obligations". Fitch Ratings India Pvt. Ltd. (100% subsidiary of Fitch Inc.) has assigned the "tAAA ( ind )" rating to the bank's deposit programme, with the outlook on the rating as "stable". This rating indicates "highest credit quality" where "protection factors are very high". HDFC Bank also has its long term unsecured, subordinated (Tier II) Bonds of Rs.4 billion rated by CARE and Fitch Ratings India Private Limited. CARE has assigned the rating of "CARE AAA" for the Tier II Bonds while Fitch Ratings India Pvt. Ltd. has assigned the rating "AAA( ind )" with the outlook on the rating as "stable". In each of the cases referred to above, the ratings awarded were the highest assigned by the rating agency for those instruments.
