As per the Accounting Standard 29-”Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” issued by ICAI, the Bank recognizes provisions only when it has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
Contingent Liability is disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of the income that may not be realized.
The Net Profit disclosed is after making the Provisions and Contingencies which include adjustment to the value of investments, write off of bad debts, provision for taxation (including deferred tax), and provision for advances including cases identified as fraud and contingencies /others.
The provision for tax for the year comprises liability towards current Income Tax, and Deferred Tax. The deferred tax asset/ liability is recognized, subject to the consideration of prudence, taking into account the timing differences between the taxable income and accounting income, in terms of the Accounting Standard 22 issued by ICAI. The effect of change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is
recognized in the Profit & Loss Account in the period of applicability of the change.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the applicable tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized and re-assessed at each reporting period based on management judgement as to whether their realization is considered as reasonably certain.
In cases of unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets supported by convincing evidence.
Interest income on refund of Income Tax is accounted for in the year in which; the order is passed by the concerned authority.
The demand raised by the Tax authorities including the interest thereon is provided for when such demand is accepted by the bank and the same is not contested before appellate authority OR when such demand is upheld by jurisdictional tribunal and there is no favorable judgement of other tribunal on identical issue and bank does not prefer to go before High Court OR when such demand is upheld by High Court.
The bank reports basic and diluted earnings per equity share in accordance with the Accounting Standard (AS-20) “Earnings Per Share” issued by ICAI. Basic Earnings per share is arrived by dividing net profit after tax with the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding for the year. The diluted earnings per equity share are computed using the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur in earnings per share if securities or other contracts to issue equity share are exercised or converted during the year.
Cash and cash equivalents include Cash and Balances with RBI, Balances with Banks and money at call and short notice.
v) Derivative exposures and potential collateral calls:
Derivative exposure is shown as Net Derivative cash inflows within 30 days. Inflows from derivative exposure arose due to maturing forwards.
vi) Currency mismatch in the LCR;
As per the RBI guidelines while the LCR standard is required to be met on one single currency, in order to better capture potential currency mismatch the LCR in each currency needs to be monitored. Accordingly, Bank is maintaining LCR on daily basis in INR and the same is compared against the regulatory requirement. Further bank does not have exposure to any other significant currencies*, hence LCR is prepared for INR currency.
(*A significant currency is one where aggregate liabilities denominated in the currency amount to 5% or more of the bank's total liabilities).
vii) A description of the degree of centralization of liquidity management and interaction between the group's units:
The liquidity management for the bank on enterprise¬ wide basis is the responsibility of the Board of
Directors. Board of Directors has delegated its responsibilities to a Committee of the Board called as the “Risk Management Committee of Board”. The committee is responsible for overseeing the inter linkages between different types of risk and its impact on liquidity.
Bank has Asset Liability & Market Risk Management policy which provides the broad guidelines under which all the entities within the group operate in terms of liquidity and interest rate risk.
LCR is computed and monitored on daily basis by the Bank and the same is shared with Treasury/Midoffice for liquidity management and discussed in Investment committee.
Further LCR for the latest month along with comparison of previous months is placed before ALCO on monthly basis. Moreover, LCR position along with other liquidity parameters is placed before RMC/Board on quarterly basis.
viii) The inflows and outflows in the LCR calculation that are not captured in the LCR common template but which the institution considers to be relevant for its liquidity profile are as under:
Qualitative Disclosure around NSFR:
Guidelines on NSFR has become effective from 01.10.2021. Accordingly, bank has published its first disclosure regarding NSFR for quarter ended 31.12.2021.
The objective of NSFR is to ensure that bank maintains a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of its assets and off-balance sheet activities. A sustainable funding structure is intended to reduce the probability of erosion of a bank's liquidity position due to disruptions in a bank's regular sources of funding that would increase the risk of its failure and potentially lead to broader systemic stress. The NSFR limits overreliance on short-term wholesale funding, encourages better assessment of funding risk across all on- and off-balance sheet items, and promotes funding stability. amount of available stable.
The NSFR is defined as the funding relative to the amount of required stable funding. “Available stable funding” (ASF) is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon considered by the NSFR, which extends to one year. The amount of stable funding required (“Required stable funding”) (RSF) of Bank is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual
maturities of the various assets held by Bank as well as those of its off-balance sheet (OBS) exposures. NSFR is defined as
Available Stable Funding (ASF)
NSFR = X 100
Required Stable Funding (RSFP)
Main drivers of NSFR:
The Bank as on 31st March 2026, had maintained ASF of Rs. 271310.08 Crore. ASF consists of 58.19% from stable & less stable non-maturity deposits and term deposits with residual maturity of less than one year provided by retail and small business customers.
RSF consists of 38.61% from “Other unencumbered performing loans with risk weights greater than 35% under the Standardized Approach and residual maturities of one year or more, excluding loans to financial institutions” line item.
NSFR for the quarter ended 31st March 2026 is 125.22%, above RBI prescribed minimum requirement of 100%.

Bank has put in place a policy for management of currency induced credit risk arising out of exposure to its constituents which inter-alia specifies the mechanism to ascertain Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE) and mitigate the same by pricing the exposure as well as incremental provisioning as under -
Method to ascertain the amount of Unhedged -
Bank has estimated the liability towards unhedged foreign currency exposure to their constituents in terms of RBI Circular RBI/DOR/2025-26/157/DOR/ CRE.REC 76/07-02-001/2025-26 dated 28.11.2025
Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE):
The amount of UFCE of the constituents is measured by obtaining the periodical information from the clients having exposure of < 10.00 crore and above. For this purpose, items maturing or having cash flows over the period of next five years only are considered. Further, items which are effective hedges, financial hedge and / or natural hedge, of each other are set off. (Financial hedge through a derivative contract (e.g. Forward Cover) and Natural hedge may be considered when cash flows arising out of the operations of the company offset the risk arising out of the Foreign Currency Exposure. For the purpose of
computing UFCE, an exposure may be considered naturally hedged if the offsetting exposure has the maturity/cash flow within the same accounting year).
Method to estimate the extent of likely loss:
The loss to the entity in case of movement in exchange rate is calculated using the annualised volatilities. For this purpose, largest annual volatility seen in the rates during the period of last ten years is taken as the movement of the rate in the adverse direction.
Method to estimate the riskiness of unhedged position and provide appropriately :
The likely loss / EBID so arrived at is taken as the base, as per which consolidated UFCE on behalf of the constituents is calculated, based on the model specified by the Bank. Such exposure is subjected to additional provisioning and also incremental capital requirement.
Further, the pricing to such constituents is accordingly re-priced based on the risk profile of the borrower by loading an appropriate premium to cover the UFCE.
