B.R. Shetty reportedly filed a $15 billion suit in the Bombay High Court. The bank says it has not been served. July 2026: BoB paid $600 million (about Rs 5,700 crore) to settle with NMC administrators.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Bank of Baroda shares fell about 3% to Rs 230.45 on BSE on Wednesday 14 October 2026, a day after NMC Healthcare founder B.R. Shetty reportedly filed a $15 billion damages suit against the bank. The suit, reported in the Bombay High Court, alleges that bank officials colluded with former group executives, and it seeks damages and 18% interest. Bank of Baroda told the exchanges that it has not been served with any lawsuit, cannot comment on untested pleadings and will defend it firmly if served. Business Today says it cannot verify the report, so treat the claim as an allegation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bank of Baroda shares opened lower after the news. The stock had closed up over 1% on Monday and is down about 20% year to date, so the fall adds to a weak year.<\/p>\n<p>This article explains the lawsuit claims, the bank&#8217;s response, the earlier July settlement of the NMC Health dispute, what it could mean for Bank of Baroda shares and what to watch next. I separate reported allegations from confirmed facts.<\/p>\n<p>The key point for Bank of Baroda shares is that the claim is large but unproven. A court filing is not a finding, and the bank says it has not even been served.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&#038;utm_medium=bank-of-baroda-shares-fall-3-percent-after-nmc-healthcare-b-r-shetty-files-lawsuit-15-billion-bombay-high-court-bank-clarification\">Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/bank-of-baroda-shares-fall-3-percent-after-nmc-healthcare-b-r-shetty-files-lawsuit-15-billion-bombay-high-court-bank-clarification\/#Bank_of_Baroda_Shares_What_Happened_on_14_October\" title=\"Bank of Baroda Shares: What Happened on 14 October\">Bank of Baroda Shares: What Happened on 14 October<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/bank-of-baroda-shares-fall-3-percent-after-nmc-healthcare-b-r-shetty-files-lawsuit-15-billion-bombay-high-court-bank-clarification\/#What_BR_Shettys_15_Billion_Suit_Claims\" title=\"What B.R.
