The MD also said that there will be technological integration and there are not many complications in the merger process.
The MD further said that the capital base will be good and there will be no further requirement to raise capital.

As part of the merger between HDFC and HDFC Bank, as many as 42 shares of HDFC Bank would be given for every 25 shares of HDFC Ltd.
Post-merger, HDFC Bank will be 100% owned by public shareholders, and existing shareholders of HDFC Ltd will own a 41 per cent stake in the bank. Since the shareholding of HDFC Limited is regarded as an FII investment, the extinguishing would lead to the opening up of 7-8% headroom for FII investors in HDFC Bank.
The merger is subject to regulatory and other approvals and could take 12-18 months to complete, it said
Cross-sell opportunities and other synergies
-About 70% of HDFC Limited customers do not bank with HDFC Bank, indicating a significant opportunity.
-About 80% of HDFC Bank customers do not have mortgages, indicating low penetration.
-The friction that exists currently between sanction and disbursal will go away.
-There would also be opportunities to sell life insurance and non-life insurance products.
-There would be other synergies for the combined entity.
CRR SLR requirement
The combined CRR and SLR requirement of 22% for banks is less onerous now.
HDFC Limited has Rs 800bn worth of non-convertible bonds, which, due to affordable housing status, would not attract CRR CLR requirement.
Due to a lower interest rate environment, the negative carry due to raising funds for CRR SLR requirement is lower today than it was before.
The share of HDFC Banks in HDFC Life will increase to 48 per cent post the completion of the transaction. However, according to RBI regulations, the prescribed share can be either be less than 30 per cent or more than 50 per cent. To comply with the RBI regulations, Padalkar said that HDFC Limited and HDFC Banks want to stretch the 48 per cent to 50 per cent.
