While HDFC Bank has received all the regulatory approvals required for executing the deal, the merged entity has its task cut out to meet the conditions set out by the authorities. One of the key requirements for the bank is to maintain statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and cash reserve ratio (CRR). SLR is the percentage of deposits that banks are required to invest in government securities while CRR is the percentage of deposits to be kept with RBI. Currently, SLR needs to be 18 per cent while CRR is required to be 4.5 per cent. Along with this, banks are also supposed to maintain a priority sector lending (PSL) target, which is currently 40 per cent. As HDFC Ltd was an NBFC, it had no PSL target to meet. But now, RBI has given HDFC Bank time till FY26 to meet the 40 per cent target for its entire loan book.
