An update from South Indian Bank Limited ( (IN:SOUTHBANK) ) is now available.
South Indian Bank has announced the appointment of chartered accountant Thomson Thomas as a Non-Executive Independent Director, effective March 23, 2026, for a three-year term, subject to shareholder approval. He will replace outgoing independent director V. J. Kurian, whose term ends on March 22, 2026, bringing nearly four decades of experience in banking, finance, audit, taxation, risk management and corporate governance to strengthen the bank’s board oversight and regulatory compliance.
The bank emphasized that Thomas, who currently serves as principal partner at Kochi-based chartered accountancy firm Elias George & Co., has extensive exposure to RBI, SEBI, Companies Act and Income-tax Act regimes, and is not related to any existing directors nor debarred by regulators. His appointment underscores South Indian Bank’s efforts to reinforce governance standards and risk oversight, which may be seen positively by regulators, investors and other stakeholders amid rising scrutiny of board independence in India’s banking sector.
