HDFC Bank Ltd. share price declined to near day's low after Securities and Exchange Board of India issued a warning letter. The warning letter alleged non–compliance with certain provisions of the regulator.

SEBI found during its regular inspection of HDFC Bank's investment that there is non–compliance under certain provisions of the SEBI (Merchant Bankers) Regulations, 1992, SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018 and SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, the private lender said in an exchange filing on Dec 12.

There's no impact on financial, operation or other activities of the private lender, HDFC Bank said. It received SEBI's warning letter on Dec 11.

Right after the disclosure, HDFC Bank emerged as the top dragger of the NSE Nifty 50 index. As of 1:36 p.m., the stock is the third top loser.
