Muthoot Finance to remain in focus as IDBI Mutual deal gets stuck
Shares of Muthoot Finance may come under pressure as its plan to acquire IDBI Mutual Fund has been blocked by the Reserve Bank of India.
“We would like to inform that Muthoot Finance Ltd’s request for a no-objection certificate was not acceded to by the Reserve Bank of India on the ground that “‘the activity of sponsoring a Mutual Fund or owning an Asset Management Company is not in consonance with the activity of an operating NBFC’,” it said in a regulatory filing.
It has accordingly informed SEBI, through a letter on November 23, that it would be unable to proceed with the proposed transaction.
In November last year, Muthoot Finance had entered into a share purchase agreement with IDBI Bank, IDBI Capital Markets and Securities, IDBI Asset Management and IDBI MF Trustee Company to acquire 100 per cent equity shares of IDBI Asset Management and IDBI MF Trustee Company.
