IndusInd clarifies


We refer to a few news items that have appeared this morning relating to the ongoing deposition by David Headley, in which a reference has been made about release of funds received by him through a branch of IndusInd Bank.

In this regard, the Bank wishes to clarify as under:

1.    In 2006, the Bank, under a money transfer arrangement, duly approved by regulators, handled a few inward remittances under the Money Transfer Service Scheme (MTSS), in the normal course of business, in October --November.
2.    As per the regulatory guidelines in force, cash was handed over to David Headley after completing due diligence.
3.    The Bank obtained the required documents, including a copy of his passport, issued by the US authorities, and valid from March 2006 to March 2016.
4.    There were investigations by national agencies between 2009 and 2011 and the KYC documents were produced before them.
5.    The Bank wishes to reiterate that it has not opened any account in the name of David Headley, and has not handled any other business for him.
All rumours circulating or suggesting otherwise are not true.
