I think a reverse merger would be great news and should send the stock prices up by at least 20% in the immediate term HDFC holds about 22% in HDFC Bank which gets only dividend and earnings are not consolidated since it does not make up 51% this would be cancelled hence reducing the balancesheet size and the return ratios. ALso synergies would be worked out in terms of employee costs etc. But will they do it? SInceHDFC took over the management of Gruh Finance it did not go in for a reverse merger with it so thinking about HDFC Bankis a little tough at this point in time.

In era of demergers, why will they merge these two. Banking has strong and stringent rule & regulation whereas NBFC enjoys freedom from them. Shareholding norms for Banking is quite conservative as yet.
Personally I don't see this happening now (rather never).
Rules and regulations are one reasons on why TV18 and web18 are different companies. Mortgage is best piece of HDFC pack, why will thy merge it with other not-so valuable businesses ?
