Un-weighted values are calculated as outstanding balances maturing or callable within 30 days (for inflows and outflows) except where otherwise mentioned in the circular and LCR template.
Weighted values are calculated after the application of respective haircuts (for HQLA) or inflow and outflow rates (for inflows and outflows)
Adjusted values calculated after the application of both (i) haircuts and inflow and outflow rates and (ii) any applicable caps (i.e. cap on Level 2B and Level 2 assets for HQLA and cap on inflows).
The LCR is designed to promote short-term resilience of a bank's liquidity risk profile by ensuring that it has sufficient high quality liquid resources to survive an acute stress scenario lasting for 30 days. As per the RBI guidelines minimum requirement of LCR for FY 2024-25 on a daily basis is 100%. The methodology for estimating the LCR is based on RBI guidelines updated on time to time.
The LCR is calculated by dividing the amount of high quality liquid unencumbered assets (HQLA) by the estimated net outflows over a 30 calendar day period. The net cash outflows are calculated by applying RBI prescribed outflow factors to the various categories of liabilities (deposits viz Retail, Small Business customers (deposits upto Rs. 7.50 crore), unsecured and secured wholesale borrowings) as well as to undrawn commitments and derivatives-related exposures partially offset by inflows from assets maturing within 30 days.
The bank during the quarter ended March 31,2025 had maintained average HQLA (after haircut) of Rs. 1,69,525 crores. HQLA primarily includes SLR securities in excess of minimum Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) requirement the extent allowed under the Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) and the Facility to Avail Liquidity for LCR (FALLCR). Additionally, cash balances in excess of cash reserve requirement with RBI and the overseas central banks form part of level 1 HQLA. The Daily average LCR of the Indian bank for the quarter ended March 31,2025 was 126.62%.
The main drivers of LCR of the bank are sufficient high quality liquid assets (HQLAs) to meet liquidity needs of the bank at all times. The weighted cash outflows are primarily driven by unsecured wholesale funding which contributed 54.42% of the total weighted cash outflows. Retail deposits including deposits from small business customers contributed 15.93% of the total weighted cash outflows. The other contingent funding obligations primarily include bank guarantees (BGs) and letters of credit (LCs) issued on behalf of the Bank's clients.
Bank has no significant counterparty (Deposit / Borrowing) as on 31.03.2025. The total contribution of the top 20 largest domestic depositors as on 31.03.2025 is 5.31% of the total deposits. The significant domestic product / instruments includes Savings deposit, Current deposit and Term deposit which are 32.99%, 5.38% and 61.63% of bank's total deposits respectively, the funding from which are widely spread and there is no major concentration risk under Liquidity front for bank.
Available Stable Funding (ASF)
ASF is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon considered (viz. up to 1 year) by the NSFR. The amount of ASF is measured, based on the broad characteristics of the relative stability of an institution's funding sources, including the contractual maturity of its liabilities and the differences in the propensity of different types of funding providers to withdraw their funding.
Required Stable Funding (RSF)
RSF is the amount of stable funding required based on the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of various assets held by that institution as well as those of its off-balance sheet (OBS) exposures. RSF is computed by multiplying the outstanding amount of the specified component with the prescribed and associated RSF Factor.
The objective of NSFR is to ensure that banks maintain a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance sheet activities. The NSFR limits over-reliance on short-term wholesale funding, encourages better assessment of funding risk across all on and off-balance sheet items, and promotes funding stability.
Bank's NSFR stands at 138.84% as on 31.03.2024 and 141.62% as on 31.03.2025. NSFR is above the minimum regulatory requirement of 100%. As on 31.03.2025, the Available Stable Funding (ASF) was Rs. 605734 crore and the Required Stable Funding (RSF) was Rs. 427729 crore.
Bank also computes Liquidity Coverage Ratio and prepares Structural Liquidity Statements on a daily basis to assess the liquidity needs of the Bank.
c. Sale and transfers to/from HTM category
The value of sales and transfers of securities to/from HTM category did not exceed 5 per cent of the book value of investments held in HTM category at the beginning of the year as per RBI guidelines.
• In case of securities classified under HTM category, if acquisition cost is more than the face value, the premium is amortized over the remaining period to maturity. For the Financial Year 2024-25, a sum of Rs. 0.16 crores (previous year Rs. 0.16 crores) has been amortized and the same is reflected as a deduction from 'Income on Investments'.
iv. Details of loans acquired during the year: NIL
v. The distribution of Security Receipts (SRs) held by the Bank across the various categories of Recovery Ratings assigned to such SRs by the Credit Rating Agencies as on 31.03.2025 is given as under:

Such SRs shall be valued periodically by reckoning the Net Asset Value declared by the ARC based on the recovery ratings received for such instruments.
As on March 31,2025, the Bank is holding in Government guaranteed SRs having Face Value of Rs.491.95 Crores. The Bank is valuing its Investment in SR at a lower of Net Book Value of the stressed loans at the time of transfer to ARC or NAV declared by such ARC.
