&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Piramal Finance Limited&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (formerly &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Piramal Capital &amp;amp; Housing Finance Limited&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL)&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) is a non-banking financial company (NBFC–ICC) regulated by the [[Reserve Bank of India]]. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of [[Piramal Enterprises]]. The company provides retail and wholesale financial services including home loans, loan against property (LAP), MSME loans, used-vehicle financing, and corporate lending. Following the acquisition of DHFL in 2021, the company was rebranded as Piramal Capital &amp;amp; Housing Finance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company was established following the acquisition of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Ltd. (DHFL) by Piramal Capital &amp;amp; Housing Finance Limited (PCHFL) in September 2021. This acquisition was the first successful resolution of a financial services company under the [[Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016|Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code]] (IBC) in India. The transaction was executed through a [[Reverse takeover|reverse merger]], wherein PCHFL merged into DHFL, and the combined entity became a wholly owned subsidiary of Piramal Enterprises.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;lv&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite news |date=29 September 2021 |title=Piramal Group completes DHFL acquisition in total consideration of ₹34,250 crore |url=https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/piramal-group-completes-dhfl-acquisition-pays-rs-34-250-cr-as-total-consideration-11632892698017.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com |access-date=4 June 2025}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;{{AI-retrieved source|date=March 2026|checked=no}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2025, the [[Reserve Bank of India]] (RBI) approved the company&amp;#039;s transition from a Housing Finance Company (HFC) to a Non-Banking Financial Company – Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC) and subsequently rebranded as Piramal Finance Limited.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Piramal Capital gets RBI nod to operate as NBFC-ICC - CNBC TV18 |url=https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/stocks/piramal-capital-rbi-nod-to-operate-nbfc-icc-to-exit-housing-finance-business-19585590.htm |access-date=4 June 2025 |work=CNBCTV18 |date=7 April 2025 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The company was originally started as DHFL by Rajesh Kumar Wadhawan on 11 April 1984. The name of the company was changed to Dewan Housing Development Finance Ltd. and later to Dewan Housing Finance Corporation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.moneycontrol.com/company-facts/dewanhousingfinancecorporation/history/DHF#DHF|title=Dewan Housing Finance Corporation &amp;gt; Company History &amp;gt; Finance - Housing &amp;gt; Company History of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation - BSE: 511072, NSE: DHFL|website=moneycontrol.com|access-date=2018-02-01}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010, DHFL acquired [[Deutsche Postbank|Deutsche Postbank Home Finance]] unit for ₹1079 crores.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/dhfl-buys-deutsche-postbank-s-unit-for-rs-1-079-crore-110120200037_1.html|title=DHFL buys Deutsche Postbank&amp;#039;s unit for Rs 1,079 crore|agency=Press Trust of India|date=2010-12-02|work=Business Standard India|access-date=2018-02-01}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On 18 December 2013, DHFL acquired 74% stake DHFL Pramerica Life Insurance Company Ltd.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.dhfl.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DHFL-and-Prudential-Financial-Inc.-complete-ownership-transfer-of-life-insurance-joint-venture-in-India1.pdf|title=DHFL and Prudential Financial, Inc. complete ownership transfer of life insurance joint venture in India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 29 January 2019, Cobrapost, an Indian investigative journalist group, published an exposé of DHFL for using various shell corporations to siphon more than ₹ 31,000 crores of public money for the personal gains of the DHFL&amp;#039;s primary stakeholders: Kapil Wadhawan, Aruna Wadhawan and Dheeraj Wadhawan.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;web.archive.org&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://cobrapost.com/blog/press-realise-dhfl-l/1374 |title=:: Cobrapost :: |website=cobrapost.com |access-date=15 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129141356/https://cobrapost.com/blog/press-realise-dhfl-l/1374 |archive-date=29 January 2019 |url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the same article, Cobrapost also raised allegations of political donations worth crores of rupees, in violation of Section 182 of Companies Act, 2013 for political donations.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;web.archive.org&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; DHFL filed a response with the [[Bombay Stock Exchange]] saying the allegations raised by Cobrapost were untrue. DHFL, also rebutted these allegations in a hosted investors / analysts conference and clarified that the ₹ 31,000 crore loans mentioned in the allegation consist of its project loan portfolio. Also the company tried to clarify that the advances commented by Cobrapost should be ₹ 21,000 Crores and not ₹ 31,000 crores. Following the Cobrapost allegations, Indian credit rating agencies reaffirmed their high safety rating for the financial instruments issued by DHFL.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/news-portal-alleges-rs-31000-crore-fraud-by-home-finance-company-dhfl/articleshow/67748033.cms|title=News portal alleges Rs 31,000 crore fraud by home finance company DHFL - Times of India ►|website=The Times of India|date=30 January 2019 |access-date=2019-02-05}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even after the emergence of serious allegations of misconduct against its business, the Indian credit rating agencies continued to issue high safety ratings for the DHFL financial products, but, on 6 June 2019, DHFL defaulted on its debt repayment, resulting in a debt rating downgrade, immediately wiping out 16% of the value from its stock price. At the time, the fall in DHFL stock price was an all year low. This rapid decline in stock price resulted in a loss of investor confidence.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/dhfl-tanks-16-after-rating-downgrade-what-should-investors-do-4067641.html|title=DHFL tanks 16% after rating downgrade; what should investors do?|website=Moneycontrol|date=6 June 2019 |access-date=2019-06-07}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/mf/mf-news/debt-funds-take-a-tumble-as-dhfl-slips-on-payment/articleshow/69670067.cms|title=Debt mutual funds take a tumble as DHFL slips on payment|last=Mahesh|first=Prashant|date=2019-06-07|work=The Economic Times|access-date=2019-06-07}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 20 November 2019, the Reserve Bank of India removed the board of directors of the company citing corporate governance failure and the company&amp;#039;s defaulted payment obligations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/BS_PressReleaseDisplay.aspx?prid=48684|title=Reserve bank of India - Press Release}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2021: Acquisition by Piramal===&lt;br /&gt;
Piramal Finance Limited was established following the acquisition of Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) by Piramal Capital &amp;amp; Housing Finance Limited (PCHFL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Piramal Enterprises Limited. The acquisition was completed in September 2021 under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), with a total consideration of ₹34,250 crore. It marked the first resolution of a financial services company through the IBC process in India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;lv&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As part of the resolution plan, PCHFL was merged into DHFL through a reverse merger structure. The merged entity continued operations under the name Piramal Capital &amp;amp; Housing Finance Limited and expanded its presence in the retail lending segment, leveraging DHFL&amp;#039;s existing branch network and customer base.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;lv&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2025, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) approved the company&amp;#039;s transition from a Housing Finance Company (HFC) to a Non-Banking Financial Company – Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |date=8 April 2025 |title=Piramal Capital receives RBI nod to operate as NBFC-ICC |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/business/banking-finance-piramal-capital-receives-rbi-nod-to-operate-as-nbfc-icc-says-will-exit-housing-finance-biz-3801692/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CWe%20wish%20to%20inform%20you,of%20Non%2Dbanking%20Financial%20Institution%E2%80%93 |access-date=4 June 2025 |work=Financialexpress |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Subsequently, the company surrendered its HFC license and was renamed Piramal Finance Limited. Following this regulatory shift, the company relinquished its HFC license and was renamed Piramal Finance Limited. This reclassification aligns with its strategic focus on expanding retail and MSME lending across India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2025, Piramal Enterprises Limited announced a proposed [[Mergers and acquisitions|merger]] of Piramal Finance Limited with the parent entity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Piramal Enterprises to merge Piramal Finance with parent entity. |url=https://www.business-standard.com/companies/news/piramal-enterprises-to-merge-with-unlisted-housing-finance-arm-for-listing-124050900314_1.html |access-date=4 June 2025 |publisher=business-standard.com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The company provides financial products including home loans, loan against property, MSME loans, used vehicle finance, and working capital solutions. It also partners with public and private sector banks under co-lending models. In April 2025, Piramal Finance entered a co-lending partnership with [[ICICI Bank]] targeting rural and semi-urban borrowers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |date=12 April 2025 |title=ICICI Bank and Piramal Finance partner for co-lending |url=https://www.livemint.com/industry/banking/icici-bank-and-piramal-finance-partner-for-co-lending-11690543260948.html |work=Mint}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Legal matters and controversies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== SEBI insider-trading investigation ===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2024, the [[Securities and Exchange Board of India]] concluded a settlement with the former managing director of Piramal Capital &amp;amp; Housing Finance and associated parties in relation to an investigation into alleged [[insider trading]] in shares of [[Piramal Group|Piramal Enterprises]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Former Piramal Capital MD settles SEBI insider trading case |work=The Times of India |date=2024 |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/piramal-capital-housing-finance-md-settles-sebi-probe/articleshow/112026867.cms |access-date=17 March 2026}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The settlement involved the payment of approximately ₹43.5 crore without admission or denial of wrongdoing under SEBI&amp;#039;s settlement mechanism.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Piramal co MD, two others pay RS 44 crore to settle Sebi probe |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/piramal-co-md-two-others-pay-rs-44-crore-to-settle-sebi-probe/articleshow/112026968.cms |access-date=17 March 2026 |work=The Times of India |date=26 July 2024}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Financial irregularities and probes against DHFL ===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2019, DHFL stopped payment of bonds and defaulted on its loan obligations. This caused its stock to fall over 97% and a government intervention in the company.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.businesstoday.in/markets/company-stock/dewan-housing-finance-share-price-falls-icra-crisil/story/354114.html|title=Why Dewan Housing Finance share price fell up to 15% in early trade today|website=businesstoday.in|date=6 June 2019 |access-date=2019-07-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/dhfl-puts-fresh-deposits-and-renewals-on-hold-halts-pre-mature-withdrawals-1558460507432.html|title=DHFL puts fresh deposits and renewals on hold, halts pre-mature withdrawals|last=Borate|first=Neil|date=2019-05-21|website=Mint|language=en|access-date=2019-07-25}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/market/stock-market-news/dhfl-shares-slump-20-after-halting-fresh-public-deposits-1558497975452.html|title=DHFL falls nearly 10% as company stops accepting fresh deposits, halts renewals|last=Borate|first=Ravindra N.

&lt;br /&gt;
