Federal Bank has received RBI approval for the appointment of Mr. Elias George as Part Time Chairman for three years, effective May 23, 2026. Mr. George, currently an Independent Director on the Board since September 2023, has an extensive background including service in the Indian Administrative Service, senior partner role at KPMG handling Infrastructure, Government, and Healthcare verticals, and leadership of the Kochi Metro Rail project. The appointment has received all necessary regulatory clearances and confirmation that he is not debarred from holding any directorship.
This appointment provides continuity and stability in board leadership at Federal Bank. As an experienced Independent Director with government and consulting background, Mr. George's elevation to Chairman is a routine governance transition rather than a major strategic shift.
