Controversies

In February 2012, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued a warning to the general public against keeping deposits with Manappuram Finance. [8] In response, the company announced an immediate compliance to any of RBI's concerns and decided to constitute an independent committee under the chairmanship of Jagdish Capoor (former Deputy Governor of RBI and former Chairman of HDFC Bank) to review relevant aspects of operations, systems, controls and organizational structure, including Board composition and effectiveness.
