In the news from the NBFC sector. Gruh Finance share price slipped 8% on the BSE in early morning trade after the promoter Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) sold more than 4% of the company's paid-up capital in the open market.

Earlier, on May 25, the housing finance company had sold 32.6 million equity shares, representing 4.4% of the paid-up capital of Gruh Finance at price of Rs 310 per share.

While on March 28, HDFC had sold 12.2 million shares of Gruh Finance at a price of Rs 260 per share.

Reportedly, HDFC being a shareholder of Gruh Finance is entitled to 14.96% of post-amalgamation paid-up capital of Bandhan Bank, based on the share exchange ratio.

However, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has directed the Corporation to hold 9.9% or less of the paid-up capital of Bandhan, post the merger.

In view of this, HDFC is required to sell such number of shares in Gruh Finance so as to be entitled to 9.9% of the post amalgamation paid up capital of Bandhan.
