4.22 Provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets

In accordance with Accounting Standard - 29 “Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” issued by ICAI,
as notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013
read together with the Companies (Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2021, a provision is recognized when the Bank has a
present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that
an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not
discounted to its present value and are determined based
on management best estimate required to settle the
obligation at the Balance Sheet date, supplemented by
experience of similar transactions. These are reviewed at
each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimates. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

No provision is recognized, and a disclosure of contingent
liability is made when there is:

(i) a possible obligation arising from a past event and the
existence of which will be confirmed only by occurrence
or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future
events not wholly within the control of the Bank; or

(ii) a present obligation arising from a past event which is
not recognized because:

a) it is not probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation; or

b) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation
cannot be made.

The Bank does not expect the outcome of these contingencies
to have a materially adverse effect on its financial results.

No provision or disclosure of contingent liability is
made when there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of
resources is remote.

Contingent assets, if any, are not recognized nor disclosed
in the financial statements since this may result in the
recognition of income that may never be realized. However,
contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually
certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the
asset and related income are recognized in the financial
statements of the period in which the change occurs.

A. Qualitative disclosures:

(a) Structure and organization for management of risk in derivatives trading, the scope and nature of risk measurement,
risk reporting and risk monitoring systems, policies for hedging and/or mitigating risk and strategies and processes for
monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges/ mitigants:

Derivatives are financial instruments whose characteristics are derived from underlying parameter's like interest rates,
exchange rates or indices. The Bank undertakes over the counter and exchange traded derivative transactions for
Balance Sheet management and also for proprietary trading. Bank offers derivative products to the customers to enable
them to hedge their exposure within the prevalent regulatory guidelines. Proprietary trading includes Interest Rate
Futures, Currency Futures, Non Deliverable Forwards and Rupee Interest Rate Swaps under different benchmarks (viz.
MIBOR, MIFOR etc.) in over the counter/exchange traded derivatives.

The Bank also undertakes transactions in Long Term Forex Contracts (LTFX) for hedging its Balance Sheet and also offers
them to its customers. These transactions expose the Bank to various risks primarily credit, market, operational, legal and
reputational. The Bank has adopted the following mechanism for managing risks arising out of the derivative transactions.

The derivative transactions are governed by the Policy for Investment, Forex and Derivative Activities and Market Risk
Management Policy of the Bank as well as by the extant RBI guidelines. Various operational/risk limits are set up and
actual exposures are monitored vis-a-vis the limits allocated. These limits are set up taking into account market volatility,
risk appetite, business strategy and management experience. Risk limits are in place for risk parameters viz. Value at Risk
(VaR), Net loss, deal size and Price Value of a Basis Point (PVBP). Actual positions are monitored against these limits on
a daily basis and breaches if any are reported promptly. Risk assessment of the portfolio is undertaken periodically.

The Treasury front office enters into derivative transaction with customers and interbank counterparties. The Bank has
an independent back office and mid office as per regulatory guidelines. The MTM position of the derivative portfolio
is monitored on a regular basis. The impact on derivative portfolio on account of the probable market movements are
assessed on regular basis. The risk profile of the outstanding portfolio is reviewed by the Board at regular intervals.

Interest rate contracts

Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of interest obligations with the counterparty for a specified period without
exchanging the underlying (or notional) principal.

Interest rate futures are standardised interest rate derivative contracts traded on a recognised stock exchange to buy
or sell a notional security or any other interest bearing instrument or an index of such instruments or interest rates at a
specified future date at a price determined at the time of the contract.

Exchange rate contracts

Cross currency swaps are agreements to exchange principal amounts denominated in different currencies. Cross
currency swaps may also involve the exchange of interest payments on one specified currency for interest payments in
another specified currency for a specified period.

Currency options (including Exchange Traded Currency Option) give the buyer on payment of a premium, the right but not
an obligation to buy or sell specified amounts of currency at agreed rates of exchange on or before a specified future date.

Currency futures contract is a standardised contract traded on an exchange to buy or sell a certain underlying currency
at a certain date in the future at a specified price. The contract specifies the rate of exchange between one unit of
currency with another.

Non-Deliverable Derivative Contracts

Non Deliverable Forwards are foreign exchange derivative contract involving the Rupee, entered into with a person
resident outside India and which is settled without involving delivery of the Rupee.

(b) Accounting policy for recording hedge and non-hedge transactions, recognition of income, Premiums and discounts,
valuation of outstanding contracts and provisioning

Bank deals in derivatives for hedging domestic or foreign currency assets/liabilities subject to the prevailing regulatory
guidelines. Transactions for hedging and trading are recorded separately. For hedge transactions the Bank identifies
the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the transaction itself. The effectiveness is ascertained at the time
of inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. Transactions related to foreign exchange forward / Interest rate
Future/IRS/Currency futures are marked to market daily and the MTM is accounted in the books.

(c) Collateral Security

Bank has provided sufficient collateral to central counter parties and exchanges wherever applicable. As per market
practice no collateral is insisted on for the contracts with counter parties like Banks/Primary Dealers (PDs) etc. but
if a Credit Support Annexure (CSA) is signed then collateral is insisted as per the terms of CSA agreement. For deals
with Corporate Clients appropriate collateral security/margin etc. is stipulated wherever considered necessary as per
the CSA agreement.

(d) Credit Risk Mitigation

In the Interbank Space the Bank deals with other major banks and the default risk is perceived as low in this segment.
Wherever the Credit Support Annexure (CSA) is signed the collateral is insisted as per the terms of the CSA agreement.
This risk is managed under the limit framework laid down by the policy on Sovereign and Counterparty Bank Limits.
Exposure against clients is mitigated by collecting proper collateral securities / margin as envisaged by the credit
sanctioning team as per the CSA.

the amounts at risk.

• Interest rate derivative represents interest rate swaps and bond FRA.

• The Bank has computed the maximum and minimum of PV01 for the year based on the daily balances for Interest
rate Derivatives and Currency Derivatives.

• In respect of derivative contracts, the Bank evaluates the credit exposure arising therefrom, in line with RBI
guidelines. Credit exposure has been computed using the current exposure method which is the sum of:

a) The current replacement cost (Marked to Market value including accruals of the contract) or zero
whichever is higher.

b) The Potential Future Exposure (PFE) is a product of the notional principal amount of the contract and a factor
that is based on the grid of credit conversion factor prescribed in RBI Guidelines, which is applied on the basis
of the residual maturity and the type of contract.

The Bank adheres to RBI guidelines on Liquidity Coverage Ratio, Liquidity Risk Monitoring Tools and the LCR Disclosure
Standards pursuant to the Basel III Framework on Liquidity Standards that are applicable to banks in India with effect from
January 1, 2015. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) promotes short-term resilience of banks to potential liquidity disruptions by
ensuring that they have sufficient high quality liquid assets (HQLAs) to survive an acute stress scenario lasting for 30 days.
LCR is computed daily from 1^st January 2017 and in accordance with regulatory prescriptions. The LCR disclosures contain
data on simple average of daily observations for the days in each quarter. The bank has not computed LCR separately for any
foreign currency since the aggregate liabilities denominated in any foreign currency doesn't amount to 5% or more of the
Bank's total liabilities. Bank has consistently maintained LCR above the prescribed regulatory minimum.

On an average, 98% of the HQLA maintained by the Bank comprises of Level 1 assets which is the most liquid asset category.
Cash in hand, excess CRR and SLR, G-Sec within mandatory SLR requirement permitted by RBI under Marginal Standing Facility

(MSF) and Facility to Avail Liquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio (FALLCR) as per RBI guidelines from time to time, constitutes
Level 1 HQLA. Level 2 assets maintained by the Bank comprises of (a) marketable securities representing claims on or claims
guaranteed by sovereigns, Public Sector Entities (PSEs) or multilateral development banks that are assigned a 20% risk weight
under the Basel III Standardized Approach for credit risk and that are not issued by a bank/financial institution/NBFC or
any of its affiliated entities and (b) Corporate bonds and commercial papers, not issued by a bank/financial institution/NBFC
or any of its affiliated entities, which have been rated AA- or above by an Eligible Credit Rating Agency. HQLA is also well
diversified across various instruments and liquid asset types and shall provide the Bank with adequate and timely liquidity.

Bank has a well-diversified funding portfolio. Retail deposits, considered stable from a liquidity perspective is the major
funding source of the Bank, indicating lower dependence of the Bank on wholesale funds.

The liquidity risk management in the Bank is guided by the ALM Policy. Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is
the executive level committee responsible for ALM process in the Bank. Bank's liquidity management is done by the Treasury
department as per the directions of ALCO. Integrated Risk Management Department actively monitors the liquidity position
of the Bank and apprises ALCO on a continuous basis to initiate appropriate actions to ensure that the liquidity position is well
within the Risk Appetite set by the Board of Directors.

As at March 31, 2025

The Bank adheres to RBI guidelines on Liquidity Coverage Ratio, Liquidity Risk Monitoring Tools and the LCR Disclosure
Standards pursuant to the Basel III Framework on Liquidity Standards that are applicable to banks in India with effect from
January 1, 2015. The regulatory threshold is embedded into the Risk Appetite Statement of the Bank and hence maintenance
of LCR is subject to periodic review of Risk Management Committee/Board. The Bank computes the LCR and reports the
same to the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) every month for review as well as to the Risk Management
Committee of the Board. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) promotes short-term resilience of banks to potential liquidity
disruptions by ensuring that they have sufficient high quality liquid assets (HQLAs) to survive an acute stress scenario

1.6.7. Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure: The Bank has in place a policy on managing credit risk arising out of unhedged foreign
currency exposures of its borrowers. The objective of this policy is to maximize the hedging on foreign currency exposures of
borrowers by reviewing their foreign currency exposures and encouraging them to hedge the unhedged portion. The policy
framework also articulates the methodologies for ascertaining the amount of unhedged foreign currency exposures, estimating the
extent of likely loss, estimating the riskiness of the unhedged position and making appropriate provisions and capital charge as per
extant RBI guidelines. In line with the policy, assessment of unhedged foreign currency exposure is a part of credit appraisal while
proposing limits or at the review stage. Further, the Bank reviews the unhedged foreign currency exposure across its portfolio on
a periodic basis. The Bank maintains incremental provisions and additional capital for the unhedged foreign currency exposures
of its borrowers in line with the extant RBI guidelines. The Bank has maintained H 71.89 Crore (previous year H 71.42 Crore) as
provision and H 154.59 Crore (previous year H 150.36 Crore) as additional capital for computation of capital adequacy ratio on
account of the unhedged foreign currency exposures of borrowers.

1.11. Disclosures on Remuneration

i) Qualitative disclosures

a) Information relating to the composition and mandate of the Nomination, Remuneration, Ethics and Compensation
Committee (or Remuneration Committee in short):

The Nomination, Remuneration, Ethics and Compensation Committee of the Board oversees the framing, review and
implementation of the compensation policy of the Bank, on behalf of the Board. As per the code of corporate governance
and code of conduct for the board of directors and management, The Committee shall consist of only Non-Executive

- Mr. Manoj Fadnis

- Mr. Sudarshan Sen

- Mr. Ramanand Mundkur

Out of the above, Mr. Siddhartha Sengupta and Mr. Sudarshan Sen are also a member of Risk Management
Committee of the Board.

The Nomination, Remuneration, Ethics and Compensation Committee of the Board functions with the following
mandate, in respect of matters related to remuneration:

i. Recommending to the Board a policy, relating to the remuneration for the directors, key managerial personnel and
other employees.

ii. Formulating and determining the Bank's policies on remuneration packages payable to the Directors and key
managerial personnel including performance/achievement bonus, perquisites, retirals, sitting fees.

iii. Considering grant of Stock Options to employees.

iv. Recommend to the board, all remuneration, in whatever form, payable to senior management

b) Information relating to the design and structure of remuneration processes and the key features and objectives of
remuneration policy.

The Bank has formulated and adopted a comprehensive compensation policy covering all the employees and the policy
is reviewed on an annual basis. The policy covers all aspects of the compensation structure such as fixed pay, variable
compensation, perquisites, performance bonus, guaranteed bonus (joining/sign-on bonus), severance package, share-
linked instruments e.g. Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS), pension, gratuity, etc., taking into account the Guidelines
issued by Reserve Bank of India from time to time.

The objectives of the remuneration policy are four-fold:

• To align compensation with prudent risk taken

• To drive sustainable performance in the Bank

• To ensure financial stability of the Bank; and

• To attract and retain talent

The compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) / Whole Time Directors (WTDs) /Material Risk Takers
(MRTs) is divided into two components:

1. Fixed Pay and Perquisites: The fixed compensation is determined based on the relevant factors such as industry
standards, the exposure, skill sets, talent and qualification attained by the official over his/her career span and
adherence to statutory requirements. All the fixed items of compensation, including the perquisites, will be treated
as part of fixed pay. Perquisites that are reimbursable would also be included in the fixed pay so long as there are
monetary ceilings on these reimbursements. Contributions towards superannuation/retiral benefits will also be
treated as part of fixed pay.

2. Variable Compensation: The variable compensation for Whole Time Directors, Managing Director & Chief
Executive Officer and Material Risk Takers is fixed based on organizational performance (both business-unit
and firm-wide) and KPAs set for the official. The organization's performance is charted based on Performance
Scorecard which takes into account various financial indicators like revenue earned, cost incurred, profit earned,
NPA position and other intangible factors like leadership and employee development. The Scorecard provides
a mix of Financial and Non-Financial, Quantitative and Qualitative Metrics. Additionally, serious supervisory
observations (if any) are also factored. The variable pay is paid in the form of share-linked instruments, or a mix of
cash and share-linked instruments.

Risk, Control and Compliance Staff: Members of staff engaged in financial and risk control, including internal audit,
are compensated in a manner that is independent of the business areas they oversee and commensurate with their
key role in the Bank. The total fixed and variable compensation paid out to the employees in the Risk Control and
Compliance Function is decided independent of business parameters. The mix of fixed and variable compensation for

control function personnel is weighted in favour of fixed compensation, to ensure autonomy and independence from
business goals.

Grander Compensation Package to Executives in Level IV and above: The Compensation package applicable to
Executives in Level IV and above are governed under the provisions of Grander Compensation Package, a performance
linked pay structure implemented in the Bank with effect from May 01, 2017. Annual Increment under the “Grander
Compensation Package” is based on the annual performance rating of the Executive concerned.

Compensation paid to Employees on IBA Package: The compensation paid to Award Staff and Officers coming under
Scale I to III is fixed based on the periodic industry level settlements with Indian Banks' Association. The present scale
of pay and other service conditions applicable to employees, whose compensation package is governed under IBA
package is as per provisions of 12^th Bipartite Settlement/ Joint note dated March 08, 2024.

c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes.

For the purpose of effectively aligning compensation structure with risk outcomes, the functionaries in the Bank are
arranged under the following three categories:

1. MD & CEO/Whole Time Directors/ Material Risk Takers (MRTs)

2. Risk Control and Compliance Staff

3. Other Categories of Staff

In order to manage current and future risk and allow a fair amount of time to measure and review both quality and
quantity of the delivered outcomes, the Bank maintains proper balance between fixed pay and variable pay. A significant
portion (i.e. at least 50 per cent) of total compensation payable to MD & CEO, Whole Time Directors and Material Risk
Takers (MRTs) is variable.

Committees to mitigate risks caused by an individual decision.

In order to further balance the impact of market or credit risks caused to the Bank by an individual decision taken
by a senior level executive, MD & CEO or ED, the Bank has constituted various committees to take decisions on
various aspects:

• Credit limits are sanctioned by committees at different levels.

• Investment decisions of the Bank are taken and monitored by Investment committee and there is an upper limit in
treasury dealings where individual decisions can be taken.

• Interest rates on asset and liability products for different buckets are decided and monitored by the Asset Liability
Committee of the Board (ALCO). Banks' exposures to liquidity risk are also monitored by ALCO.

Hedging

No compensation scheme or insurance facility would be provided by the Bank to employees to hedge their compensation
structure to offset the risk alignment mechanism (deferral pay and claw back arrangements) embedded in their
compensation arrangement. Appropriate compliance arrangements have been established to ensure that employees
do not insure or hedge their compensation structure.

Committee of Management for reviewing the linkage of Risk Based Performance with Remuneration: A Committee,
comprising of CFO and Heads of Risk Division and HR Department would assist the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee of the Board to monitor, review and control various risks and to balance prudent risk taking with the
compensation paid out to top Executives, WTDs and other employees

d) Linkage of performance during a performance measurement period with levels of remuneration.

The Bank's performance is charted based on performance scorecard which takes into account various financial indicators
like revenue earned, cost deployed, and profit earned, NPA position and other intangible factors like leadership and
employee development. Variable pay is paid purely based on performance and is measured through Scorecard for MD
& CEO / EDs. The scorecard provides a mix of financial and non-financial, quantitative and qualitative metrics.

The compensation package applicable to Executives in Level IV to VII was earlier fixed and governed based on the
periodical industry level settlements under IBA pattern. To make the Compensation Structure market driven and
competitive, a new performance-based compensation package called “Grander Compensation Package” has been
introduced for Executives in Level IV (Associate Vice President / Assistant Vice President) and above with effect
from May 01, 2017.

The compensation paid to other officials that include Award Staff, Officers coming under Scale I to III is fixed based on
the periodic industry level settlements with Indian Banks Association.

e) Bank's policy on deferral and vesting of variable remuneration and criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration before

vesting and after vesting.

MD & CEO, Whole Time Directors and Material Risk Takers (MRTs).

Deferral of Variable Pay: For MD & CEO, Whole Time Directors and Material Risk Takers (MRTs) deferral arrangements
would invariably exist for the variable pay, regardless of the quantum of pay. For such executives of the Bank, a minimum
of 60% of the total variable pay must invariably be under deferral arrangements. Further, if cash component is part of
variable pay, at least 50% of the cash bonus would also be deferred. However, in cases where the cash component of
variable pay is under H 0.25 crore, deferral requirements would not be necessary.

Period of Deferral Arrangement: The deferral period would be minimum of three years. This would be applicable to both
the cash and non-cash components of the variable pay.

Vesting: Deferred remuneration would either vest fully at the end of the deferral period or be spread out over the course
of the deferral period, subject to the following conditions:

• The first such vesting will be not before one year from the commencement of the deferral period.

• The vesting will be no faster than on a pro rata basis.

• Vesting will not take place more frequently than on a yearly basis.

In case of deferred compensation (cash component), the payment will be made as per the Schedule mentioned below.

Malus / Claw back arrangement

The variable compensation is covered under Malus / Claw back arrangements in case of all categories of employees. In
the event of subdued or negative contributions of the Bank and/or the relevant line of business in any year, the deferred
compensation will be subjected to:

• Malus arrangement wherein Bank shall withhold vesting of all or part of the amount of deferred remuneration.

• Claw back arrangement wherein the employees shall be liable to return previously paid or vested remuneration to
the Bank. The deferred compensation, if any, paid to such functionaries shall be subject to Claw back arrangements,
which will entail the Bank to recover proportionate amount of variable compensation from such functionaries, on
account of an act or decision taken by the official which has brought forth a negative contribution to the Bank at a
prospective stage.

The malus and claw back provisions would cover the deferral and retention periods. If an Official covered under these
provisions is responsible for any act or omission or non-compliance of regulatory guidelines resulting in a penalty being
imposed by any Regulators or engages in a detrimental conduct, the Bank would be entailed to recover proportionate
amount of variable compensation from such functionaries within 48 months from the date of payment/vesting of variable
compensation. The Bank has put in place appropriate modalities, performance thresholds and detailed framework
to cover the trigger points with or invoking malus/claw back, taking into account relevant statutory and regulatory
stipulations, as applicable.

f) Description of the different forms of variable remuneration

The variable pay is in the form of share-linked instruments, or a mix of cash and share-linked instruments. The Bank
uses an optimum and proper mix of cash (Performance Linked Incentive/Ex- Gratia) and share-linked instruments (Stock
Options) to decide the compensation of employees in all categories.

The distribution of Stock Options and variable Performance Linked Incentives are higher in top levels and is linked with
their performance measurements taken from Scorecards. This is done to align the compensation of senior staff with
their performance, risk and responsibility taken in higher assignments.

Risk Control and Compliance Staff

At least 25% of the total compensation would be variable and the total variable pay will be limited to a maximum of
100% of the fixed pay (for the relative performance measurement period). Deferral arrangements would invariably
exist for the variable pay, if the Variable Pay exceeds 75% of the fixed pay. In such cases a minimum of 60% of the total
variable pay must invariably be under deferral arrangements. Further, if cash component is part of variable pay, at least
50% of the cash bonus would also be deferred. However, in cases where the cash component of variable pay is under
H 0.25 crore, deferral requirements would not be necessary.

Other categories of Staff

The variable pay would be in the form of cash, share-linked instruments, or a mix of both cash and share-linked
instruments. The total variable pay will be limited to a maximum of 300% of the fixed pay (for the relative performance
measurement period). Deferral arrangements would invariably exist for the variable pay, if the Variable Pay exceeds
200% of the fixed pay. In such cases a minimum of 60% of the total variable pay must invariably be under deferral
arrangements. Further, if cash component is part of variable pay, at least 50% of the cash bonus would also be deferred.
However, in cases where the cash component of variable pay is under H 0.25 crore, deferral requirements would
not be necessary.

inputs, methodologies and assumptions, specific valuation considerations in many instruments, expected credit losses, employee
stock options and implementation of technology systems.

1.12.6. Implementation of IFRS converged Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of India notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015 on February 16, 2015. Further, a press release dated January 18, 2016, was issued by the MCA outlining the roadmap for
implementation of IFRS converged Ind AS for banks. This roadmap required banks to prepare Ind AS based standalone & consolidated
financial statements for the accounting periods beginning April 01, 2018 onwards, with comparatives for the periods ending March
31, 2018 or thereafter. RBI, through its notification dated February 11, 2016, required all scheduled commercial banks to comply
with Ind AS for financial statements from the stated periods and also stated that early adoption of Ind AS is not permitted.

The implementation of Ind AS by banks requires certain legislative amendments to make the format of financial statements,
prescribed in the Third Schedule to Banking Regulation Act, 1949, compatible with accounts under Ind AS. Considering the
amendments needed to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, as well as the level of preparedness of several banks, RBI, through its
Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies dated April 05, 2018, had deferred the implementation of Ind AS by a year.

The legislative amendments recommended by the Reserve Bank are under consideration of the Government of India. Accordingly,
RBI through its notification dated March 22, 2019 deferred the implementation of Ind AS till further notice.

Even though RBI has deferred the implementation, the Bank is gearing itself to bring the necessary systems and processes in place
to facilitate the Proforma submission to RBI and seamless transition to Ind AS. With respect to the various instructions from the
Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the actions taken by the Bank are summarized as follows:

• A steering committee was formed by MD & CEO with ED as its Chairman with members from all cross-functional departments.
The Committee oversees the progress of Ind AS implementation in the Bank and provides guidance on critical aspects
of the implementation such as Ind AS technical requirements, systems and processes, business impact, people and
project management.

• The implementation of IT solution procured to automate the computation of Expected Credit Losses (ECL), Effective Interest
Rate, Fair valuation and other accounting changes required under Ind AS is completed and Bank is generating extracts from
the system on a half yearly basis.

• The Bank is now in the process of implementing the other assessed changes required in existing IT architecture and other
processes to enable smooth transition to Ind AS.

• The Bank is continuing to submit the quarterly progress report on the status of Ind AS implementation to the Audit
Committee of the Board.

• The Bank is submitting half yearly Proforma Ind AS financial statements to the RBI within the stipulated timeline.

• Training to the employees is imparted in a phased manner.

These represent claims filed against the Bank in the normal course of business relating to various legal cases currently in
progress. These also include demands raised by income tax and other statutory authorities and disputed by the Bank.

ii) Liability on account of forward exchange and derivative contracts

The Bank presently enters into foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps with interbank Counterparties and
Customers. Forward exchange contracts are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency at a future date at the contracted
rate. Interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange fixed and floating interest rate cash flows in the same currency based
on fixed rates or benchmark reference. The notional amounts of such foreign exchange contracts and derivatives provide a
basis for comparison with instruments recognised on the balance sheet but do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future
cash flows involved or the current fair value of the instruments and, therefore, do not indicate the Bank's exposure to credit
or price risks. The fluctuation of market rates and prices cause fluctuations in the value of these contracts and the contracted
exposure become favorable (assets) or unfavorable (liabilities). The aggregate fair values of derivative financial assets and
liabilities can fluctuate significantly as the aggregate contractual or notional amount of derivative financial instruments on
hand can vary and the market rate fluctuations can decide the extent to which instruments are favorable or unfavorable.

iii) Guarantees given on behalf of constituents

As a part of its banking activities, the Bank issues guarantees on behalf of its customers to enhance their credit standing.
Guarantees represent irrevocable assurances that the Bank will make payments in the event of the customer failing to fulfill
its financial or performance obligations.

These include documentary credit issued by the Bank on behalf of its customers and bills drawn by the Bank's customers that
are accepted or endorsed by the Bank.
