Bandhan Bank’s Chief Audit Executive Navin Sharma Resigns

Mumbai: Bandhan Bank Ltd on Wednesday announced the resignation of its Chief Audit Executive and Head of Internal Audit, Mr. Navin Sharma, marking a key change in the bank’s senior management.

In a disclosure to the stock exchanges, the Kolkata-based private sector lender said Sharma tendered his resignation on January 14, 2026, citing personal reasons. He will, however, continue in his role during the notice period, and his last working day will be April 13, 2026.

The bank informed both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of the development under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, which mandates companies to promptly disclose material changes in management.

Sharma has been heading the bank’s internal audit function, a critical role responsible for ensuring regulatory compliance, risk management and governance oversight.

Bandhan Bank said that Sharma will continue to discharge his responsibilities in accordance with the bank’s internal policies until the end of his tenure, ensuring a smooth transition.

The lender did not announce a successor for the position at the time of filing.
