6. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR):
a) Standalone LCR
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) standard has been introduced with the objective that a bank maintains an adequate level of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLAs) that can be converted into cash to meet its liquidity needs for a 30 calendar day time horizon under a significantly severe liquidity stress scenario.
LCR has been defined as :
Stock of high quality liquid assets (HQLAs)
Total net cash outflow over the next 30 calendar days
Liquid assets comprise of high quality assets that can be readily encashed or used as collateral to obtain cash in a range of stress scenarios. There are two categories of assets included in the stock of HQLAs, viz. Level 1 and Level 2 assets. While Level 1 assets are with 0% haircut, Level 2A and Level 2B assets are with 15% and 50% haircuts respectively. The total net cash outflow is the total expected cash outflows minus total expected cash inflows for the subsequent 30 calendar days. Total expected cash outflows are calculated by multiplying the outstanding balances of various categories or types of liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments by the rates at which they are expected to run off or be drawn down. Total expected cash inflows are calculated by multiplying the outstanding balances of various categories of contractual receivables by the rates at which they are expected to flow in up to an aggregate cap of 75% of total expected cash outflows.
The LCR position is above the minimum 100% prescribed by RBI. Bank’s LCR comes to 125.79% based on daily average of three months (Q4 FY18-19). The average HQLA for the quarter was Rs. 6,99,153 crore, of which, Level 1 assets constituted 93.26% of total HQLA. Government securities constituted 96.77% of Total Level 1 Assets. Level 2A Assets constitutes 5.59% of total HQLA and Level 2B Assets constitutes 1.15% of total HQLA. The net cash outflow position has slightly gone up on account of increase in wholesale deposits where run-off rate is 40%-100%. Derivative exposures are considered insignificant due to almost matching inflows and outflows position. During the quarter, LCR for USD (significant Foreign Currency constituting more than 5% of the Balance Sheet of the Bank) was 49.34% on average.
Liquidity Management in the Bank is driven by the ALM Policy of the Bank and regulatory prescriptions. The Domestic and International Treasuries are reporting to the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The ALCO has been empowered by the Bank’s Board to formulate the Bank’s funding strategies to ensure that the funding sources are well diversified and is consistent with the operational requirements of the Bank. All the major decisions of ALCO are being reported to the Bank’s Board periodically. In addition to daily/monthly LCR reporting, Bank prepares daily Structural Liquidity statements to assess the liquidity needs of the Bank on an ongoing basis.
The Bank has been maintaining HQLA mainly in the form of SLR investments over and above the mandatory requirements. Retail deposits constitute major portion of total funding sources, which are well diversified. Management is of the view that the Bank has sufficient liquidity cover to meet its likely future short term requirements.
b. Consolidated LCR

The Group has been maintaining HQLA mainly in the form of SLR investments over and above the mandatory requirements.
