On 5 April 2019, the board of Indiabulls Housing Finance approved a merger with the private sector bank Lakshmi Vilas Bank. Indiabulls shareholders will receive a 90.5% stake in the consolidated entity, to be called Indiabulls Lakshmi Vilas Bank, and LVB will receive the remaining 9.5%.[6] The merged entity will create a net worth of ₹19,472 crore and a loan book ₹1,23,393 crore for the nine months of FY2019.[7][8] However the RBI resoundingly rejected the proposal from Indiabulls Housing Finance amid allegations of gross financial mismanagement and irregularities with connection to the promoter ex-billionaire Sameer Gehlaut.[9]
