AI summary

The Board approved transferring most retail businesses, except high-net-worth Branch 1001, to Choice Equity Broking and Choice Wealth for Rs 5 crore. These businesses contributed 30.48% of FY2026 revenue. Completion is expected by February 28, 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Likely market impact

The sale sharpens DB's focus on derivatives trading and institutional clients, but approval and closing risks remain.
