The bank had claimed adjustment of a fixed deposit of about Rs 800 crore ($116.08 million) deposited by Religare Finvest in 2016 and early 2017, towards a loan default made by companies belonging to Religare promoters, the report added.
The company's representative did not immediately comment.
LVB stock had fallen 25 per cent this year, as of Wednesday's close.
