To,
The Chairman
HDFC Bank Limited
HDFC Bank House,
Senapati Bapat Marg,

Mumbai 400 013.
Sub: HDFC Bank Limited - Scrutinizer’s Report on Postal Ballot (E-voting) Results
I, B Narasimhan, Proprietor of BN & Associates, Company Secretaries, had been appointed as a Scrutinizer by the Board of Directors of HDFC Bank Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”) at its meeting held on July 19, 2025to scrutinize the Postal Ballot e-voting process in a fair and transparent manner in respect of all the resolutions as stated in the Postal Ballot Notice dated July 19, 2025 (the “Postal Ballot Notice”).
In compliance with the provisions of Sections 108 and 110 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) read with Rule 20 and 22 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014, including any statutory amendment(s), modification(s), variation(s) or re-enactment(s) thereto, for the time being in force and in compliance with the applicable guidelines / circulars / rules issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) inter alia including General Circular No. 09/2024 on September 19, 2024, issued by MCA (“MCA Circulars”) from time to time, Regulation 44 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“SEBI Listing Regulations”), Secretarial Standard on General Meetings (“SS-2”) issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India, and other applicable laws and regulations, if any, the following special businesses mentioned in the Postal Ballot Notice dated July 19, 2025 were proposed to be passed by the Members of the Bank by way of Postal Ballot through voting by electronic means (“remote e-voting”) only. The Bank had, accordingly, provided facility of e-voting to all Members of the Bank to enable them to cast their votes electronically on the special business mentioned in the Notice.
The Bank had engaged the services of National Securities Depository Limited, as the Electronic Voting Service Provider (“NSDL”) who had made necessary arrangements to facilitate e-voting by the shareholders of the Bank on their website at www.evoting.nsdl.com. Datamatics Business Solutions Limited is the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent for the Bank (the “RTA”).

Accordingly, the Bank had sent the Postal Ballot Notice including all the requisite information required by the shareholders to cast their vote(s), in electronic form only to those Members who had registered their e-mail addresses with the Bank / RTA / Depository Participants, as on Saturday, July 19, 2025 (being the cut-off date specified for this purpose). The communication of the assent or dissent of the Members was sought through the remote e-voting system only.
The Bank and NSDL had uploaded the Postal Ballot Notice together with the explanatory statement on their respective websites viz. www.hdfcbank.com and www.evoting.nsdl.com and Electronic Voting Event Number “134634” (’EVEN’) was generated for casting the votes through e-voting mode. The Bank and NSDL have complied with all the necessary formalities specified under the Act, the Rules framed thereunder and the MCA Circulars issued in this regard.
The Management of the Bank is responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of the Act and the Rules made thereunder and SEBI Listing Regulations relating to the items placed for approval of the members through postal ballot by e-voting. My responsibility as the Scrutinizer of the voting process (through e-voting), was restricted to scrutinizing the remote e-voting process, in a fair and transparent manner and to prepare a Scrutinizer’s Report on the votes cast in favour or against the resolutions stated in the Notice, based on the data generated from the e-voting system provided by NSDL.
I report that the Postal Ballot Notice was sent on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 through e-mail to 34,60,235 members whose e-mail addresses were registered with the RTA /Depositories. The total Number of Members as on the Cut-off date were 35,95,377.

The Bank also published an advertisement in newspapers having nation-wide circulation on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 in “Business Standard” English Newspaper (all editions), and in “Navshakti”, Marathi Newspaper (Mumbai edition) providing requisite information as required under Rules framed under the Act and MCA Circulars.
