The Reserve Bank of India has confirmed that 1729 Capital and its associates can hold a 7.14% stake in Suryoday Small Finance Bank (SSFB), as per the exchange filings. Until September 30, 2025, the foreign portfolio investor (FPI) held 3.81% in the bank. The approval does not change the bank’s operations but officially recognises the increased holding.
According to the exchange filing, any further increase in shareholding or voting rights will need fresh approval from the RBI. The same rule applies if the stake falls below 5% at any point; clearance will be required again before raising the holding back to 5% or more.
Before this approval, the investor could not exercise voting rights beyond a 5% limit, even if the shareholding increased. With the RBI now recognising 1729 Capital’s 7.14% holding, this voting restriction is no longer applicable. However, no additional rights are granted automatically, and any future change must follow the approval process.
The approval must remain compliant with regulations governing shareholding in Indian banks. These include the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, RBI’s rules on shareholding and voting in banks, FEMA rules relating to foreign investment, and SEBI guidelines for FPIs. These conditions continue to apply as long as the stake is held.
