As per ICICI Securities, it may take 8-15 months to lift restrictions. "Recent instances of embargo on a leading bank suggest lifting of restrictions may take time. In the case of concerned bank, it took 8 months to partially lift the restrictions and almost 15 months to wholly lift the same," it highlighted before slashing target price by Rs 633.
Paytm shares have corrected nearly 70 % on its listing price of Rs 1955 per share on the BSE.  

IndusInd Bank:  
The brokerage house is of the view that with disbursements reaching pre-covid levels in most retail products, revival in MFI disbursement and encouraging growth in corporate lending will lead growth towards IIB’s 2-year credit growth target of 16- 18%.

Key risks remain lower than estimated growth and credit cost not normalizing soon.

Keeping the target price unchanged for this private lender at Rs 1420 per share, it maintained a buy rating. It turns out to be an upside of 58% on Tuesday's closing price of Rs 898.20 per share.

IndusInd Bank has given a negative return of around 13% in the past one year as on March15, showed technical data of the stock.
