The decision to hold a board meeting comes late in the first quarter of 2025. Decisions regarding bonus shares are often based on an audited report, but as of now, the reports have not been officially checked by auditors.

As per SEBI rules, both the bank's board members and its shareholders must approve the issuance of bonus shares to ensure a unanimous decision.
