Axis pips Kotak Bank as 3rd most valued private bank

Axis Bank overtook Kotak Mahindra Bank on Thursday to become India’s third most valued private lender after a rout in the latter’s stock. Kotak Bank’s stock opened deep in the red on Thursday a day after RBI restricted the lender from onboarding customers digitally and issuing credit cards, citing repeated failures to fix “serious deficiencies” in its IT system.
