Kathpalia's exit, effective immediately, brings to a close his five-year tenure at the helm of the bank.
Deputy CEO and whole-time director Arun Khurana had also resigned a day earlier, citing the adverse accounting impact on the bank’s profit and loss due to “incorrect accounting for internal derivative trades.” Khurana had previously held oversight of the bank’s treasury front office, a key function tied to the issue.
The leadership exits come after a series of senior-level changes in the bank's finance division. Khurana had been promoted to chief financial officer in January, following the resignation of former CFO Gobind Jain, who left citing personal reasons.
In the wake of the crisis, the bank’s board has sought the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) nod to form a ‘committee of executives’ under Section 10B(9) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. This interim team would assume CEO responsibilities until a permanent appointment is made.

According to media reports, the discrepancy—related to the accrual of interest income—was discovered during the ongoing statutory audit for the previous financial year. The statutory auditors allegedly issued an additional communication under Section 143(12) of the Companies Act, 2013, prompting the bank to launch a further investigation via EY.
This audit comes on top of an ongoing forensic probe by Grant Thornton Bharat (GTB), which is investigating irregularities in the bank’s forex derivatives portfolio.
The reports indicated that the latest discrepancy likely occurred during the second or third quarter of the previous fiscal year and is not expected to span multiple years. EY's role is to determine whether any fraudulent activity took place and pinpoint accountability.

Reports surfaced earlier today suggesting that IndusInd Bank had appointed EY for a second forensic probe—this time into a Rs 600 crore anomaly in its microfinance portfolio. The discrepancy, believed to be linked to interest income accruals, reportedly emerged during the statutory audit for the previous financial year.
Sources cited in the reports claimed that statutory auditors had issued an alert under Section 143(12) of the Companies Act, 2013—a provision invoked when fraud is suspected. This, in turn, prompted the bank to deepen its review process.
Importantly, this internal review is unfolding alongside a separate ongoing forensic audit by Grant Thornton Bharat, which is investigating irregularities in the bank’s forex derivatives operations.
While initial findings suggest the microfinance discrepancy may be limited to just a couple of quarters and not a multi-year issue, the back-to-back revelations have reignited concerns over the bank’s internal controls, governance standards, and accounting oversight.
For now, the bank is holding its ground—asserting transparency and cooperation—while markets await further clarity from the internal audit’s findings.
