Qualitative

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) aims to ensure that a bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) that can be converted into cash easily and immediately to meet its liquidity needs for a 30 calendar day liquidity stress scenario

The LCR is calculated by dividing the amount of High Quality Liquid unencumbered Assets (HQLA) by the estimated net outflows over a stressed 30 calendar day period. The net cash outflows are calculated by applying RBI prescribed outflow factors to the various categories of liabilities (deposits, unsecured and secured wholesale borrowings), as well as to undrawn commitments and derivative-related exposures,zzznetted by inflows from assets maturing within 30 days

Average LCR on a daily basis for the year ended 3151 March 2019 was 184.74% above RBI prescribed minimum requirement of 100.00%

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 -

a. Method to ascertain the amount of Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE):

The amount of UFCE of the constituents is measured by obtaining the periodical information from the clients having exposure of Rs.10 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).

b. 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.

c. 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.

Qualitative

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) aims to ensure that a bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) that can be converted into cash easily and immediately to meet its liquidity needs for a 30 calendar day liquidity stress scenario.

The LCR is calculated by dividing the amount of High Quality Liquid unencumbered Assets (HQLA) by the estimated net outflows over a stressed 30 calendar day period. The net cash outflows are calculated by applying RBI prescribed outfow factors to the various categories of liabilities (deposits, unsecured and secured wholesale borrowings), as well as to undrawn commitments and derivative-related exposures, netted by inflows from assets maturing within 30 days.

Average LCR for the year ended 31st March 2016 is 75.61%, above RBI prescribed minimum requirement of 70%.

During the March 2016 quarter, HQLAs have increased due to reckoning government securities held by bank up to 8% of NDTL under FALLCR (as per RBI guidelines) with in mandatory SLR requirement as level 1 assets as against 5% of NDTL up to January 2016.

HQLAs consist of Level 1 assets (Cash, excess CRR balance, Government security in excess of minimum SLR requirement, Government securities with in mandatory SLR requirement up to 2% under MSF and 8% under FALLCR) and other level 2 assets.

Funding sources are concentrated in SLR securities however they constitute major portion of liquid assets possessed by Bank.

a. Method to ascertain the amount of Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE):

The amount of UFCE of the constituents is measured by obtaining the periodical information from the clients having exposure ofRs.10 crores and above. For this purpose, items maturing or having cash flows over the period of next fve 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).

b. 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.

c. 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.

5.1 Qualitative Disclosure LCR:-

(a) Liquidity Management

The bank has mechanism to monitor its liquidity position on daily basis. It is also using predictive tools to manage the liquidity. Framework on liquidity standards i.e. Liquidity coverage ratio - liquidity risk monitoring tools has become a standard with effect from 01st January 2015. It is complying with these standards prescribed by RBI.

(b) Liquidity Coverage Ratio:

Liquidity coverage ratio aims to ensure 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''s time horizon under a significantly severe liquidity stress scenario specified by RBI. At present the minimum requirement of LCR is 60%.

There are two components to calculate the LCR (i) High Quality Liquid Assets (ii) Net Cash outflow over the 30 days time period.

(i) High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLAs) majorly consist of,

- Cash , Investment in SLR securities in excess of minimum SLR requirement,

- Within mandatory SLR requirement , government securities elig ble for RBI''s Marginal Standing Facility and Facility to avail liquidity for liquidity coverage ratio (FALLCR),

- Corporate bonds/commercial papers, not issued by a bank/financial institution/NBFC or any other affiliated entities with the credit rating "AA-" or better by eligible credit rating agencies.

- Equity investment in the entities other than bank/ financial institution/NBFC or any other affiliated entities and included in the NSE CNX Nifty and/or S&P BSE Sensex indices

(ii) Cash outflows have been considered majorly on account of total deposits (irrespective of period) except for small and business customers for which term deposits maturing within 30 days have been considered. Cash outflows are netted off with the contractual cash inflows for 30 days period.

The Banks'' average LCR for the quarter end 31.03.15 was 80.87%. LCR of 80.87% indicates that on an average 80.87% of weighted net cash outflows over period of 30 days are covered by weighted amount of HQLAs.

c) Other monitoring tools for liquidity risk management:

In addition to the LCR, the Bank has employed other monitoring tools for liquidity risk management such as:

1. Contractual maturity mismatch:

The contractual maturity mismatch profile identifies the gaps between the contractual inflows and outflows of liquidity for defined time bands. These liquidity gaps indicates how much liquidity would potentially need to raise in each of these time bands if all outflows occurred at the earliest possible date. This metric provides insight into the extent to which the bank relies on maturity transformation under its current contracts.

The Bank is monitoring this contractual maturity mismatch on daily basis.

2. Concentration of Funding:

This metric is meant to identify that source of funding that is of such significances, the withdrawal of which could trigger liquidity problems. The Bank has put in place a limit on maximum amount for accepting deposit from single customer. It has diversified sources of funding.

3. Available unencumbered assets:

This provides the information on the available unencumbered assets which have the potential to be used as collateral to raise additional secured funding in secondary markets or from RBI.

4. LCR by significant currency;

The Bank does not have significant exposure to foreign currency hence it doesn''t compute LCR for any other foreign currency.

5. Market related monitoring tools:

This includes high frequency market data that can serve as early warning indicators in monitoring potential liquidity difficulties. This includes movement in share prices of the bank, discount rate of certificate of deposits raised by it and prices of bonds issued by it.

6. Intraday liquidity management:

The Bank has developed and adopted intra-day liquidity strategies that allow monitoring and measure expected daily inflows and outflows. This facilitates arrangement to acquire sufficient intraday funding to meet the intraday needs.

7. Concentration of Deposits, Advances, Exposure and NPA

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 -

a. Method to ascertain the amount of Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE):

The amount of UFCE of the constituents is measured by obtaining the periodical information from the clients having exposure of Rs. 10 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).

b. 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.

c. 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.

Credit Risk Rating and Appraisal Process: The Bank manages its credit risk through continuous measuring and monitoring of risks at each obligor (borrower) and portfolio level. The Bank has in place an internal credit risk rating framework and well established standardized credit appraisal/approval processes. Credit risk rating enables the Bank to accurately assess the risk in a credit proposition and take a decision to accept or reject the proposal based on the risk appetite of the Bank. It also enables risk pricing of credit facilities for risk return trade off. The Bank has developed and put in place credit risk rating models for retail loans also. The Bank has in-house developed software for undertaking credit risk rating put on the Wide Area Network (WAN) of the Bank facilitating instant access by the Branches/Field Offices for undertaking credit risk rating of borrowers.

As a measure of robust credit risk management practices, the Bank has in place a framework for approval of credit risk ratings. Rating for every borrower is reviewed at least once in a year. Credit portfolio quality is monitored by undertaking bi-annual credit risk rating for high value exposures and inferior rated borrowers. Credit risk rating, as a concept, has been well internalized in the Bank.

Loan review Mechanism: The objectives of the Loan Review Mechanism in place in the Bank are:

i) To ensure that credit decisions by various authorities are in conformity with the Bank's Lending Policy and de-legated lending powers.

ii) To ensure that stipulated terms & conditions of sanction are complied with and various post sanction follow up, monitoring and supervision measures prescribed by the Bank are adhered to.

iii) To ensure that all credit facilities are reviewed/renewed well in time so as to revise the risk perception and take necessary corrective action if necessary, immediately.

iv) To aim at achieving maintenance of standard assets quality and improvement in non-performing assets (NPAs) so as to have a favourable impact on profitability of the Bank through prevention/ reduction/up gradation of NPAs.

v) To assess the health of credit portfolio of the Bank and to apprise the Top Management about the same from time to time.

Checks and balances viz. separation of credit risk management from credit sanctions, system of assigning credit risk rating, vetting of ratings, mechanism to price credit facilities depending of risk rating of customer, credit audit etc. are in place. Minimum entry level rating benchmarks are stipulated. A suitable mechanism is in place to monitor aggregate exposure on other banks and country exposures. A diversified credit portfolio is maintained and a system to conduct regular analysis of portfolio so as to ensure ongoing control of credit concentration is in place.

Loans past due and Impaired:

The regulatory guidelines are adhered to in respect of income recognition, asset classification and provisioning, the Bank considers following categories of loans and advances as Non-performing Assets, wherein:

- Interest and/or installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a Term Loan

Table DF-10 INTEREST RATE RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK (IRRBB) Qualitative Disclosures:

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book:

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) refers to the potential adverse financial impact on the Bank's Banking Book from changes in interest rates. The interest rate risk is measured and monitored through two approaches.

(i) Earnings at Risk: The impact on income (Earning Perspective) is measured through use of Traditional Gap Analysis by applying notional rate shock (parallel shift in the interest rates across assets and liabilities) up to 100 basis point (bps).

(ii) Economic Value of Equity (Duration Gap Analysis): The Bank has adopted Duration Gap Analysis for assessing the impact (as a percentage) on the economic value of equity (Economic Value Perspective) in line with method suggested by RBI. It is done by calculating modified duration of assets and liabilities to finally arrive at modified duration of equity.

- Interest Rate Sensitivity statement as per DGA is prepared.

- The duration of each asset and liability is arrived at taking the midpoint of each time bucket as the maturity date and the average yield as coupon and taking the market rate for discounting purpose. For investments, the actual duration is taken.

- The impact on the Economic Value of Equity is analyzed for a 200 bps rate shock as indicated by RBI.

The Economic Value of Equity is measured and monitored on a quarterly basis.
