Capital Small Finance Bank has formally named Raghav Aggarwal and Manish Khurana as Senior Management Personnel (SMPs). These appointments are effective April 29, 2026, and are designed to enhance the bank's governance and regulatory compliance.
The bank's Board of Directors approved the designations based on a recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Both Aggarwal, who holds 8,426 shares, and Khurana, with 8,430 shares, have a significant personal stake in the institution.
Designating Senior Management Personnel is a core requirement of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations for small finance banks. These roles involve key operational and strategic responsibilities crucial for the bank's management and growth, promoting accountability and transparency.
Capital Small Finance Bank, founded in 1999, was India's first small finance bank, beginning operations in April 2016. The bank previously raised INR 5.23 billion through its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in February 2024.
The move formalizes the roles and responsibilities of Aggarwal and Khurana, aligning the bank more closely with RBI's regulatory framework. This reinforces the bank's management structure and strengthens its corporate governance.
The bank operates in a heavily regulated sector, making ongoing adherence to evolving RBI guidelines for senior management essential for its continued compliance and operational integrity.
