IndusInd Bank 

Moody's affirmed IndusInd Bank Ltd.'s ratings because the lender's core profitability, strong capital, and stable funding will likely mitigate near-term risks to standalone credit strength, according to the agency.

However, Moody's placed IndusInd's Ba1 Baseline Credit Assessment and adjusted BCA under review for downgrade, it said in a report on Monday. The review is taking into account the potential negative impact of the inadequate internal controls highlighted by the bank's accounting for derivative transactions.
