A. A summary discussion of the Bank''s approach to assessing the adequacy of its capital to support current and future activities.
In order to strengthen the capital base of banks in India, the Reserve Bank of India in April 1992 introduced capital adequacy measures in banks, based on the capital adequacy framework (Basel I) issued by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). Initially, the framework addressed capital for credit risk, which was subsequently amended to include capital for market risk as well and the Bank was compliant with regard to maintenance of minimum capital for credit and market risks.
Subsequently, the BCBS released the "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework" (popularly known as Basel II document) on 26.06.2004. Reserve Bank of India issued final guidelines on 27.04.2007 for implementation of the New Capital Adequacy (Basel II) Framework, which includes capital for Operational Risk. In line with the RBI guidelines, the Bank successfully migrated to the revised framework (Basel-II) from 31.03.2009.
Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines based on the Basel III reforms on capital regulation during May 2012, to the extent applicable to banks operating in India. The Basel III capital regulation has been implemented from 01.04.2013 in India in phases and it was decided originally to implement ''Capital Conservation Buffer Framework'' fully from 31.03.2018. RBI issued detailed Guidelines on Composition of Capital Disclosure Requirements on 28.05.2013.
RBI had issued circulars on various dates extending the transitional period for full implementation of Basel III Capital Regulations due to the unfavorable economic situation and also due to the continuing stress on account of COVID-19 crisis. Now the minimum regulatory requirement under Basel III with Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) is 11.50% (9.00% 2.50%) with effect from 01.10.2021.
RBI has issued circular on "Prudential Guidelines on Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Standards -Amendments" on 31.03.2015. The Basel III Capital Regulations have been consolidated in Master Circular -Basel III Capital Regulations vide circular No. DOR.CAP.REC 3/21.06.201/2022-23 dated April 01, 2022, which includes the introduction of capital buffers.
Under the Basel II framework, the total regulatory capital comprises Tier I (core capital) and Tier 2 capital (supplementary capital). In order to improve the quality of regulatory capital, the capital will predominantly consist of Common Equity Tier1 (CET1) under Basel III. Non-equity Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital would continue to form part of regulatory capital subject to eligibility criteria as laid down in Basel III. The Basel III capital regulations continue to be based on three-mutually reinforcing Pillars, viz. Minimum Capital Requirements (Pillar 1), Supervisory Review of Capital Adequacy (Pillar 2) and Market Discipline (Pillar 3) of the Basel II Capital Adequacy framework.
The Basel-III norms mainly seek to:
⢠Raise the quality of capital to ensure that the banks are capable of absorbing losses, both as going concern and as gone concern basis.
⢠Increase the risk coverage of the capital framework.
⢠Introduce leverage ratio to serve as a backstop to the risk-based capital measure.
⢠Raise the standards for the supervisory review process and public disclosures.
The macro prudential aspects of Basel III are largely enshrined in the capital buffers. Both the buffers i.e. the Capital Conservation Buffer and the Counter Cyclical Capital Buffer are intended to protect the banking sector from stressed situations and business cycles.
Under the Basel III Capital Regulations, banks are required to maintain a minimum Pillar 1 Capital (Tier-I Tier-II) to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of 9% on an
on-going basis. Besides these minimum capital requirements, Basel III also provides for creation of Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) and Counter Cyclical Capital Buffer (CCCB).
The Bank is following Standardised Approach, Standardised Duration Approach and Basic Indicator Approach for measurement of capital charge in respect of credit risk, market risk and operational risk respectively. Besides computing CRAR under the Pillar I requirement, the Bank also undertakes stress testing periodically in various risk
areas to assess the impact of stressed scenario or plausible events on asset quality, liquidity, profitability and capital adequacy. The Bank conducts Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) on an annual basis to assess the sufficiency of its capital funds to cover the risks specified under Pillar-I and Pillar-II of Basel guidelines. The adequacy of Bank''s capital funds to meet the future business growth is being assessed in the ICAAP document.
Risk is an integral part of banking business in an ever dynamic environment, which is undergoing radical changes both on the technology front and product offerings.

The Bank is accepting the ratings of the External Credit Rating Agencies approved by Reserve Bank of India, namely a) CRISIL, b) ICRA, c) CARE, d) India ratings & research Pvt Ltd, e) Acuite ratings & research Ltd and f) Infomerics Valuation and Rating Pvt. Ltd. to facilitate the corporate borrowers who enjoy credit facilities to get themselves rated. The corporates which are yet to get the approved ratings from these rating agencies are treated as ''unrated''.
The Bank computes risk weight on the basis of external rating assigned, both long-term and short-term, for the facilities availed by the borrowers. The external ratings assigned are generally facility specific. The Bank follows
the below mentioned procedures as laid down in the Basel III guidelines for usage of external ratings:
Rating assigned by one rating agency is used for all the
types of claims on the borrowing entity.

The portion of advances subjected to CRM including non-funded advances amounted to 27.59% of outstanding total of funded and non-funded credit. The Bank has ensured legal certainty in the matter of credit risk mitigation as per RBI guidelines.
Market Risk in trading book is assessed as per the Standardised Duration Approach. The capital charge for both investments and foreign exchange exposure is computed as per Reserve Bank of India prudential guidelines.
Market risk refers to the potential losses arising from volatility in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices.

The Bank has put in place Operational Risk Management Policy duly approved by the Board. This policy outlines the Organisation Structure and covers the process of identification, assessment/measurement and control of various operational risks.
The other policies adopted by the Bank which deal with the management of operational risks are Inspection Policy, Information Security Audit Policy and Policy on Modified code of conduct for Know Your Customer & AntiMoney Laundering Standards.
Operational Risks in the Bank are managed through comprehensive and well-articulated internal control framework. Operational risk is mitigated by effecting suitable insurance coverage wherever necessary. The Bank has also put in place a compliance cell to supervise KYC & AML guidelines and off site monitoring of high value transactions. For accounting operations in the computerized environment, suitable internal control system is maintained and a separate policy on I.T. Security is in place specifying the internal guidelines on access, control, communications, operations, personal security, business continuity management etc.
Capital charge for Operational Risk is computed as per the Basic Indicator Approach based on 15% of the average of the gross income for the previous three years i.e. 2019-20, 2020-21 & 2021-22 as defined in the Master Circular on Basel III Capital Regulations of RBI dated 01.04.2022. The capital charge for operational risk is arrived at ''358.27 crore.
Interest rate risk is the risk where changes in the market interest rates might affect a bank''s financial condition. Changes in interest rates affect both the current earnings (earnings perspective) as also the net-worth of the Bank (economic value perspective). The risk from earnings perspective can be measured as impact in the Net Interest Income (NII) or Net Interest Margin (NIM). Similarly, the risk from economic value perspective can be measured as drop in the Economic value of Equity (EVE).
The impact on income (earning perspective) is measured through use of Gap Analysis by applying notional rate shock up to 200 bps as prescribed.
For the calculation of impact on earnings, the Traditional Gap is taken from the Rate Sensitivity statement and based on the remaining period from the mid-point of a particular bucket, the impact for change in interest rates up to 200 bps is arrived at for one year time horizon.
The Bank has adopted Duration Gap Analysis for assessing the impact (as a percentage) on the Economic
Value of Equity (Economic Value Perspective) by applying a notional interest rate shock of 200 bps. RBI has issued draft guidelines vide DBOD.No. BP. 7/21.04.098/ 2005-06 dated April 17, 2006 on improvements to banks'' Asset Liability Management framework, covering interest rate risk and liquidity risk measurement / reporting frameworks and prudential limits. Subsequently, on November 04, 2010, RBI issued a circular on Interest Rate Risk using Duration Gap Analysis and these guidelines have been taken into account while calculating IRRBB As per the RBI guideline circular DOR.MRG.REC.102/00-00-009/2022-23 dated 17.02.2023 on "Governance, Measurement and Management of Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB)", the bank is taking steps in measuring, monitoring & disclosing the exposure to Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB). The revised
measurement and implementation of IRRBB will be calculated from August 2023 (using the position as of 30.06.2023) and would be submitted to RBI as per extant guidelines.

b. The impact of change in market value of Equity for an interest rate shock of 200 bps as on 31st March, 2023 is 5.17%.
Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) is the risk that a counter party to a transaction could default before the final settlement of the transaction cash flows. Unlike a firm''s exposure to credit risk through a loan, where the exposure to credit risk is unilateral and only the lending bank faces the risk of loss, CCR creates a bilateral risk of loss to either party.
Counterparty credit risk in case of derivative contracts arises from the forward contracts. The subsequent credit risk exposures depend on the value of underlying market factors (e.g., interest rates and foreign exchange rates),
which can be volatile and uncertain in nature. The Bank does not enter into derivative transactions other than forward contracts.
The Bank enters into the forward contracts in the normal course of business for proprietary trading and arbitrage purposes, as well as for our own risk management needs, including mitigation of interest rate and foreign currency risk. Derivative exposures are calculated according to the current exposures method.
The capital requirement for Bank''s exposure to Qualified Central Counter Party (QCCP) has been computed for the exposure to Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) as on 31st March, 2023 amounting to ''3674.73 crore with risk weighted assets of ''734.95 crore, which is forming part of credit risk total. In terms of RBI circular dated 28th March, 2013, the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) risk capital charge has been computed, which amounted to ''2.35 crore (the corresponding risk weighted value of ''29.32 crore has also been added to credit risk weighted assets).

8.1 Disclosure Format
As per Annexure II.
8.2 Quality Disclosure around LCR
Liquidity Coverage Ratio has been prescribed by RBI based on LCR Standards published by BCBS.The 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 in the immediate 30 days period.
LCR is defined as:
Stock of High Quality Liquid Assets(HQLA) > 100 % Total net cash outflows over the next 30 calendar days
The LCR standard aims to ensure that a Bank maintains an adequate level of unencumbered HQLAs that can be converted into cash to meet its liquidity needs for the next 30 days period under a significantly severe liquidity stress scenario specified by RBI.
The main driver of the LCR is HQLA which consists of Cash in hand, Excess CRR balance as on that particular day, Government Securities in excess of minimum SLR requirement, Government Securities within the mandatory SLR requirement to the extent allowed by RBI under MSF (Presently to the extent of 2% of NDTL as allowed for MSF), Facility to avail liquidity for liquidity coverage ratio at 9% of NDTL, Marketable securities representing claims on or claims guaranteed by sovereigns, PSEs or multilateral development banks that are assigned a 20% risk weight under the Basel II standaridized approach for credit risk and provided that they are not issued by a Bank / Financial Institution / NBFC or any of its affiliated entities, Marketable securities representing claims on or claims guaranteed by sovereigns having risk weights higher than 20% but not higher than 50%, Common equity shares not issued by a Bank / Financial Institution / NBFC or any of its affiliated entities and included in NSE CNX Nifty and / or S & P BSE Sensex indices. As the LCR is well within the norms, there is no requirement for intra period changes as well as changes over time.
The Bank has a well-diversified funding portfolio. Retail deposits, considered as stable is the major funding source of the Bank, indicating lower dependence of the Bank on wholesale funds.
The impact of derivative exposures and currency mismatch in the LCR is very minimal. There is no such 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.
The Liquidity Risk Management in the Bank is guided by the ALM Policy. The Bankâs Liquidity management is centralized at Treasury department as per the directions of ALCO.
