b) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
The core objective of bank remains to accept deposit from customers and provide loans to customers. In this process bank shall ensure adequate liquidity to honour the outflows. The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) and Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) are significant components of the Basel III reforms.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) had introduced the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) in order to ensure that a bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HOLA) to survive a significant liquidity stress lasting for a period of 30 days. Reserve Bank of India, vide its circular dated June 09, 2014, issued guidelines on Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR).
The Bank has comprehensive liquidity risk management structure as cited in the Board approved ALM Policy of the Bank. The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) ensures efficient management of liquidity, interest rate risk and keeps a check on adherence to the risk tolerance/limits set by the RBI/Board. ALCO formulates and monitors the funding strategy of the bank duly taking the requirements of operations. Adequate Contingency Funding Plan is also in place, which is reviewed on periodic basis to ensure the availability of funds to meet any stressed liquidity event. Monitoring of liquidity is centralized at Risk Management Wing, Head Office and managed centrally at Integrated Treasury Wing, Head Office.
The guidelines for NSFR were effective from October 1, 2021. The NSFR is defined as the amount of available stable funding relative to the amount of required stable funding. "Available Stable Funding" (ASF) is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon considered by the NSFR, which extends to one year. The amount of stable funding required ("Required stable funding") (RSF) of a specific institution is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets held by that institution as well as those of its off-balance sheet (OBS) exposures.
The LCR promotes short-term resilience of banks to potential liquidity disruptions by ensuring that they have sufficient high quality liquid assets (HOLAs) to survive an acute stress scenario lasting for 30 days. The LCR standard aims to ensure that a bank maintains an adequate level ofunencumbered HQLAs that can be converted into cash to meet its liquidity needs for 30 calendar day time horizon under a significantly severe liquidity stress scenario specified by RBI. Whereas, the NSFR promotes resilience over a longer-term time horizon by requiring bank to fund their activities with more stable sources of funding on an ongoing basis.
As per the RBI guidelines, Banks are required to maintain a minimum LCR of 100% from 1st January, 2019. The LCR requirement, as on 31st March, 2022 was 100%.
HQLA comprises of Level 1 assets (0% hair-cut), Level 2A assets (15% hair-cut) and Level 2B assets (50% hair-cut). Level 1 assets comprising of cash, excess CRR, excess SLR securities, government securities to the extent allowed by RBI under Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) [2% of the Bank''s Net Demand & Time Liabilities (NDTL)] and Facility to Avail Liquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio (FALLCR) [15% of the Bank''s NDTL].
Level 2A assets comprises of sovereign guaranteed marketable securities, corporate bonds or commercial papers which are rated AA- and more are issued other than by financial institutions. Level 2B assets include investments in common equity shares included in NSE CNX Nifty and/or S&P BSE Sensex indices.
Expected net cash outflows under stress are the weighted sum of outflows minus inflows in the next 30 days. Funding from retail and small business customers carries lower run-off factor as compared to wholesale funding.
The prime drivers of the LCR are the level of surplus SLR investments over and above the mandatory requirements. Retail deposits constitute major portion of total funding sources which are well diversified.
Composition of HOLA: For the Q4 FY 2021-22, the Weighted Level 1 assets of the Bank constitute around 98.07% of the total HQLA, and the remaining 1.93% comprises Level 2A and Level 2B assets. Excess SLR securities (part of level 1 assets) forms around 23% of the total HQLA.
Bank reports LCR position on daily / monthly basis to Management / RBI. In addition, bank monitors the liquidity position through various regulatory statements viz. Structural Liquidity Statement and Stock Ratios.
Bank has maintained LCR levels well above the minimum regulatory levels on an ongoing basis. The following table summarizes the average of unweighted and weighted value of the LCR components for the four quarters of FY 2021-22. The simple average has been computed based on daily values for the three months of quarter.
The Bank has consistently maintained a healthy funding profile with a major portion of funding through deposits. As on 31st March, 2022 the top 20 depositors comprised of 9.54% of total domestic deposits indicating a healthy and stable deposit profile.
The average LCR of Canara Bank (Consolidated) for the quarter ended 31st March, 2022 was 119.46%.
The NSFR for the quarter ended 31st March, 2022 was 140.09%

Qualitative disclosure around LCR:
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) standard is introduced to test the liquidity resilience of the Bank, for a minimum stress period of 30 days.

Stock of high quality liquid assets (HOLAs)
LCR =--------------------------------------------------------------
Total net cash outflows over the next 30 calendar days
The minimum LCR requirement for the calendar year 2018 was 90 per cent and is stepped up to 100 per cent for the calendar year 2019.

Qualitative disclosure around LCR :
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) standard is introduced to test the liquidity resilience of the Bank, for a minimum stress period of 30 days. The standard ensures, the Bank maintains adequate stock of unencumbered high quality liquid assets (HOLA) that can be converted into cash to meet liquidity needs (net cash-out flows). The LCR is defined as:
The minimum LCR requirement for the calendar year 2017 was 80 per cent and is stepped up to 90 per cent for the calendar year 2018. LCR requirement will be further stepped up 10 per cent annually to reach 100 per cent by 1st January 2019.

The LCR moved down marginally year on year from average of 110.02% (FY 2016-17) to 108.27% (FY 2017-18). This was mainly on account of decreased share of retail deposits (increasing the cash outflows) and lesser HOLA.
Quarter on quarter, the LCR (3 months average) of the Bank moved from 109.75% (JuneRs.17) to 108.65% (SeptemberRs.17) and to 115.19% (DecemberRs.17).

Further Bank is also holding a capital of Rs,143.85 Crore (Rs,118.21 Crore) as on 31.03.2017 towards the risk on unhedged foreign currency exposure.
Policies to manage currency induced credit risk with regard to Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure:
In respect of borrower entities having foreign currency exposure Bank is computing Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE); Annual Earnings before interest and Depreciation (EBID); expected loss in case of movement in USD-INR exchange rate using annualized volatilities. Expected loss on account of exchange rate movements is expressed as a percentage of EBID i.e likely loss/ EBID percentage. As a prudential measure Bank is holding incremental capital and made incremental provisioning (over and above the extant standard assets provisioning) on the total credit exposure to such entities at the specified rates.
Qualitative disclosure around LCR
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) standard is introduced to tests the liquidity resilience of the Bank, for a minimum stress period of 30 days. The standard ensures, the Bank maintains adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HOLA) that can be converted into cash to meet liquidity needs (net cash-out flows). The LCR is defined as:
Stock of high quality liquid assets (HOLAs)
LCR =------------------------------------------------------------------
Total net cash outflows over the next 30 calendar days
The minimum LCR requirement for the calendar year 2016 was 70 per cent and is stepped up to 80 per cent for the calendar year 2017. LCR requirement will be further, stepped up 10 per cent annually to reach 100 per cent by 1st January 2019.
HOLA comprises Level 1(0% hair-cut), Level 2A (15% hair-cut) and Level 2B assets (50% hair-cut). Level 1 assets comprising of cash, excess CRR, excess SLR securities, government securities to the extent allowed by RBI under Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) [presently 2 per cent of the Bank''s NDTL] and Facility to Avail Liquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio (FALLCR) [presently 9 per cent of the Bank''s NDTL].
Level 2A assets comprises of sovereign guaranteed marketable securities, corporate bonds or commercial papers which are rated AA and more are issued other than by financial institutions. Level 2B assets include investments in common equity shares included in NSE CNX Nifty and/or S&P BSE Sensex indices.
Expected net cash outflows under stress are the weighted sum of outflows minus inflows in the next 30 days. Funding from retail and small business customers carries lower run-off factor as compared to wholesale funding.
The prime drivers of the LCR are the level of surplus SLR held by the Bank and the proportion of retail and wholesale funding source.
Weighted Level 1 assets of the Bank constitutes around 95 per cent of the total HOLA, and the remaining 5 per cent comprises of Level 2A and Level 2B assets. Excess SLR securities (part of level 1 assets) forms around 30 per cent of the total HOLA.
Over the period the Bank reduced dependency on the wholesale deposits including certificate of deposits by increasing the share of retail (individual) deposits including CASA. The share of retail deposits to total domestic deposits increased from 48 per cent (March 2016) to 56 per cent (March 2017). The increased share of retail deposits marks the stability in the funding profile of the Bank, reducing the liquidity outflows under stress.
Under wholesale category, the Bank has separate deposits product with no premature withdrawal option (non-callable) to limit any funds outflows over the next 30 days.
During the FY 2016-17, the LCR of the Bank remained above the minimum requirement on all observed counts. The LCR moved up year on year from average of 84.92% (FY2015-16) to 110.02% (FY 2016-17). This was contributed on account of increased share of retail deposits (reducing the cash outflows), more realizable inflows within 30 days and higher HOLA.
Ouarter on quarter, the LCR (3 months average) of the Bank increased from 91.33% (June''16) to 99.74% (September''16) and to 115.42% (December''16).
For the quarter ending March 2017, the Bank has commenced the computation of the LCR on a daily basis. The LCR at 134.25% for quarter ending March 2017 is based on the daily average, covering 70 data points.
The LCR shows marked increase in December 2016 and March 2017 quarter, mainly on account of increase in retail deposits with withdrawal of Specified Bank Notes (SBNs) by the Government of India w.e.f., 9th November 2016.
The impact of derivative exposure, potential collateral calls and currency mismatch on the LCR of the Bank remained insignificant.
Bank''s wholly owned banking subsidiary âCanara Bank Tanzania Ltd.â started its operation in May 2016, and is consolidated for disclosure of consolidated LCR.
25. Fresh Issue of Equity Share Capital:
During the year Bank had issued and allotted Equity Shares to the following parties:

With this the equity share capital of the bank has gone up to Rs,597.29 Crore (as on 31.03.2017) from Rs,542.99 Crore (as on 31.03.2016)
26. During the year the Bank has made certain modifications in the additional provisioning for non-performing advances by dispensing with additional provisioning for category II of doubtful advances. Consequently the Bank is holding such additional provision of Rs, 500 Crore (previous year Rs, 1486 Crore) for non-performing advances over and above the minimum provision prescribed under IRAC norms of RBI.
27. Our Bank has sold 47,200 units under Priority Sector Lending Certificates (PSLCs) to the tune of Rs,11,800 Crore under Agriculture and Small and Marginal Farmers category as at March 2017.
28 During Financial Year 2017, the Bank has offloaded 13.45% of shares held in M/s Canfin Homes Ltd., one of our Associates and realised a profit of Rs,703.91 Crore.

The Framework for Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) has put in place to address the issue of higher stake of promoters in reviving stressed accounts and enhance the bank''s capabilities to initiate change of ownership, where necessary, in case agreed critical conditions and viability milestones are achieved by the promoter. The S4A envisages determination of the sustainable debt level for a stressed borrower, and bifurcation of the outstanding debt into sustainable debt and equity / quasi-equity instruments which are expected to provide upside to the bank when the borrower turns around. The scheme is implemented in transparent manner, as per the guidelines of the RBI & IBA.
Definition and classification of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs):
The Bank classifies its advances (loans and credit substitutes in the nature of an advance) into performing and non-performing loans in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. A non-performing asset (NPA) is a loan or an advance where:
- Interest and / or installment of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days in respect of a Term Loan.
- The account remains ''out of order'' in respect of an Overdraft/Cash Credit (OD/CC). An account should be treated as ''out of order'' if the outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit/drawing power for 90 days. In cases where the outstanding balance in the principal operating account is less than the sanctioned limit/drawing power, but there are no credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of Balance Sheet or credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period.
- The bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days in the case of Bills Purchased and Discounted.
- The installment of principal or interest thereon remains overdue for two crop seasons for short duration crops, and for one crop season for long duration crops.
- The amount of liquidity facility remains outstanding for more than 90 days, in respect of securitization transaction undertaken in terms of guidelines on securitization dated February 1, 2006.
- In respect of derivative transactions, the overdue receivables representing positive mark-to-market value of a derivative contracts, if these remain unpaid for a period of 90 days from the specified due date for payment.
Any amount due to Bank under any credit facility is ''overdue'' if it is not paid on the due date fixed by the Bank. Assets classification has been made borrower-wise and not facility-wise. In other words, when a particular facility of a borrower has become non-performing, all the facilities granted by the Bank to the borrower will be classified as NPA.
Irrespective of record of recovery, the bank identifies a borrower account as a NPA even if it does not meet any of the above mention criteria, where:
- Loan availed by a borrower are repeatedly restructured unless otherwise permitted by regulations;
- Loans availed by a borrowers are classified as fraud;
- Project does not commence commercial operations within the timelines permitted under the RBI guidelines in respect of loans extended to a borrower for the purpose of implementing a project; and
- Any security in nature of debenture/bonds/equity shares issued by a borrower and held by the Bank is classified as non-performing investment.
For loans held at the overseas branches, identification of NPA is based on the home country regulations (RBI Guidelines) or the host country regulations (overseas branch regulator''s guidelines), whichever is more stringent.
Further, NPA are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by RBI. A sub-standard asset is one, which has remained a NPA for a period less than or equal to twelve month. An asset is classified as doubtful if it has remained in the sub-standard category for more than 12 months. A loss asset is one where loss has been identified by the Bank or internal or external auditors or during RBI inspection but the amount has not been written off fully.
TABLE DF - 32: CREDIT RISK: DISCLOSURES FOR PORTFOLIOS SUBJECT TO THE STANDARDIZED APPROACH
(i) Qualitative Disclosures (a) FOR PORTFOLIOS UNDER THE STANDARDIZED APPROACH:
- The Bank has recognized following credit rating agencies for the purpose of rating of an exposure & assigning risk weights for computation of capital charge under standardized approach.
Domestic Credit Rating Agencies:
- Brickwork Ratings India Private Limited (Brickwork)
- Credit Analysis & Research Limited (CARE)
- CRISIL Limited
- ICRA Limited,
- India Ratings and Research Private Limited (Formerly FITCH India)
- SMERA Ratings Limited
International Credit Rating Agencies:
- Standard & Poor
- Moody''s
- FITCH
Types of exposure for which each agency is used:
All the above agencies are recognized for rating all types of exposures.
A description of the process used to transfer public issue ratings onto comparable assets in the banking books:
- The Bank uses only publicly available solicited ratings that are valid and reviewed by the recognized External Credit Rating Agencies, referred as External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI).
- Bank uses Bank Loan Rating for risk weighting the borrower''s exposures. Where Issuer Rating is available, the Bank uses such ratings unless the bank loan is specifically rated.
- The Bank does not simultaneously use the rating of one ECAI for one exposure and that of another ECAI for another exposure of the same borrower, unless the respective exposures are rated by only one of the chosen ECAIs. Further, the Bank does not use rating assigned to a particular entity within a corporate group to risk weight other entities within the same group.
- Running limits such as Cash Credit are treated as long term exposures and accordingly, long term ratings are used for assigning risk weights for such exposures.
- While mapping / applying the ratings assigned by the ECAIs, the Bank is guided by regulatory guidelines/ Bank''s Board approved Policy.
- Where exposures / borrowers have multiple ratings from the chosen ECAIs, the Bank has adopted the following procedure for risk weight calculations:
o If there are two ratings accorded by chosen ECAIs, which map into different risk weights, the higher risk weight is applied.
o If there are three or more ratings accorded by the chosen ECAIs which map into different risk weights, the ratings corresponding to the lowest
2 ratings are referred to and higher of those two risk weights is applied.
TABLE DF - 33: CREDIT RISK MITIGATION - DISCLOSURES FOR STANDARDIZED APPROACHES
(i) Qualitative disclosures
Policies and processes for collateral valuation and management: The Bank is having a Board approved collateral management policy which lays down the process, objectives, accepted types of collaterals and the framework including suitable management information system for effective collateral management. The Collaterals and guarantees properly taken and managed that would serve to:
- mitigate the risk by providing secondary source of repayment in the event of borrower''s default on a credit facility due to inadequacy in expected cash flow or not;
- gain control on the source of repayment in the event of default;
- provide early warning of a borrower''s deteriorating repayment ability; and
- Optimize risk weighted assets and to address Residual Risks adequately.
Bank uses a number of techniques to mitigate the credit risks to which they are exposed. The revised approach allows banks in India to adopt the Comprehensive Approach (under both the Standardized and IRB approaches) which allows fuller offset of collateral against exposures by effectively reducing the exposure amount by the value ascribed to the collateral. Under this approach, banks, which take eligible financial collateral, are allowed to reduce their credit exposure to the counterparty when calculating their capital requirements by taking into account the risk mitigating effect of the collateral.
Collateral Management process and practices of the Bank cover the entire activities comprising security and protection of collateral value, validity of collaterals and guarantees, and valuation / periodical inspection.
Valuation: Both the Fixed and the Current Assets obtained to secure the loans granted by the Bank are subjected to valuation by valuers empanelled by the Bank. Monetary limits of the accounts, asset classification of the borrower, which is to be subjected to valuation, periodicity of valuation, are prescribed in the Bank''s policy guidelines. Bank reviews the guidelines on valuation periodically.
Description of the main types of collateral taken by the Bank: The collateral commonly used by the Bank as risk mitigates comprises of Financial Collaterals (i.e. Cash, Bank deposits, Life Insurance policies, NSC, KVP, Government securities issued directly / by postal departments, equity shares of limited companies other than the Bank and approved by the Bank, debentures, units of mutual funds, debt securities etc.), different categories of moveable assets and immoveable assets / properties etc. However, for the purpose of computation of capital required under Standardized Approach, certain specific financial collaterals have been recognized as eligible collateral.
Main types of Guarantor counterparty and their creditworthiness: Bank obtains / accepts guarantees of sovereign, sovereign entities (including BIS, IMF, European Central Bank and European community as well as Multilateral Development Banks, ECGC and CGTMSE). Besides this, Bank also obtains Personal or Corporate guarantee having adequate net worth, as an additional comfort for mitigation of credit risk which can be translated into a direct claim on the guarantor, and are unconditional and irrevocable. The Creditworthiness of the guarantor is normally not linked to or affected by the borrower''s financial position. The Bank also accepts guarantee given by State / Central Government as a security comfort. Such Guarantees remain continually effective until the facility covered is fully repaid or settled or released.
Credit Risk Mitigation recognized by the Bank for the purpose of reducing capital requirement under New Capital Adequacy Framework (Basel II Norms): The Bank has recognized Cash, Bank''s own Deposits, Gold & Gold Jewellery as Credit Risk Mitigations for the purpose of reducing capital requirement under the New Capital Adequacy Framework (Basel III Norms).
Information about risk concentration within the mitigation taken: The Bank has already initiated steps for putting in place a data warehouse for a robust Management Information System (MIS) to facilitate management of Credit Risk and evaluation of effectiveness of collateral management including risk concentrations of collaterals.
The guidelines to banks on securitization of standard assets contain:
- The provisions relating to securitization of assets.
- Stipulations regarding transfer of standard assets through direct assignment of cash flows.
The bank''s existing policy guidelines deals with purchase of pools from an originator (Bank/NBFC/FI). Purchase of assets through Direct Assignment of cash flows from originating NBFCs/Banks/FIs shall be only from those rated ''AA'' and above. The Bank shall purchase a portfolio or a part of portfolio of standard assets under Housing Loan; Loans Against Property and MSME sanctioned at floating rates only.
Policy sets out requirements like restrictions on purchase of loans; constitution of eligible borrowers in the pool; standards for due diligence - KYC compliance, requirements to be complied with prior to disbursement in respect of borrowers in the purchased pool of assets; due diligence of the originator, Stress testing; credit monitoring.
Bank can purchase loans from other banks/FIs/NBFCs in India only if the seller has explicitly disclosed to the bank that it will adhere to the Minimum Retention Requirement on an ongoing basis and disclosed the adherence to the Minimum holding period criteria as prescribed in the policy.
The bank monitors the purchase transactions on an ongoing basis at certain intervals and takes appropriate action wherever required. The general prescription laid down in the Master policy on Credit Risk Management with regard to loan review mechanism and monitoring is applicable to securitization transactions.
The exposure to the originator shall be within the prudential exposure ceilings stipulated by the Bank.

TABLE DF - 36: INTEREST RATE RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK (IRRBB)
(i) Qualitative Disclosures
Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB)
Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB) refers to the current or prospective risk to the bank''s capital and earnings arising from adverse movements in interest rates. With change in interest rates the underlying value of Bank''s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items also gets altered and so its economic value.
Changes in interest rates also affect a bank''s earnings or net interest income (NII) in the short term - on account of re-pricing gaps between its rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. Three main types of interest rate risk include:
(a) Gap risk arises from the term structure of banking book instrument and the extent of re-pricing gap between rate sensitive assets (RSA) and rate sensitive liabilities (RSL).
(b) Basis risk - the impact of relative changes in interest rates for RSA and RSL that have similar re-pricing but are linked to different interest rate curve.
(c) Option risk in the Bank mainly arises from explicit or embedded options in a bank''s assets, liabilities and/or off-balance sheet items, where the bank or its customer can alter the level and timing of their cash flows.
Organizational Framework
The Board of Directors approves the broad business strategy and overall policies governing the IRRBB. It is responsible for setting appropriate limits, adequate systems and standards for measuring.
Monitoring and management of IRRBB is delegated to the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and is responsible for adherence to the policies and business strategy as per the risk limit articulated in terms of both earnings and economic value by the Board of Directors. Basing on the likely interest rate movement, the ALCO decides on the business mix, strategy to manage and control the risk by taking early remedial actions.
Strategies and Processes
The Bank strives to match the re-pricing gap between its rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities including off-balance sheet items across significant currencies. Interest rate risk in banking book is measured and monitored using Traditional Gap Analysis (TGA) and the Duration Gap Analysis (DGA) to Bank''s global position on a monthly basis.
Using TGA approach, the re-pricing gaps between RSA and RSL are measured and monitored across different time bands. The re-pricing gap may impact Bank''s earning for adverse rate movement in the short term up to one year. It is assessed by giving parallel rate shocks and is monitored against the set tolerance limit termed Earning at Risk.
Under DGA approach, the change in the value of Bank''s assets less liability for a given interest rate shock is assessed using modified duration approach. The extent of the gap between modified duration of RSA and RSL gives the prospective change in the value of assets less liability to the net-worth of the Bank termed as change in Market Value of Equity (MVE). MVE under IRRBB is measured and monitored against the set limit.

With regard to branches the assets and liabilities of overseas branches
are merged with the domestic operation and a consolidated Balance Sheet

branches forms part of the liabilities of the Banks annual balance
sheet.
Hence, there is no additional financial impact of LOCs issued on behalf
of branches. In respect of representative Office, there are no
commercial operations undertaken and hence no financial impacts of LOC
issued to host country regulators.

Year 60.11%)
6.14 Reserve Bank of India vide its communication Number DBOD.No.BP.BC.
85 /21.06.200/2013- 14 dated January 15, 2014 advised the Bank to
provide incremental provision and capital with regard to bank''s
exposure to entities with unhedged foreign currency exposures.
Accordingly for the financial year 2014-15, bank has made a incremental

Further, Bank is also holding a capital of Rs 250.98 Crore as on
31.03.2015 towards the risk on unhedged foreign currency exposure.
Policies to manage currency induced credit risk with regard to Unhedged
Foreign Currency Exposure:
In respect of borrower entities having foreign currency exposure, Bank
is computing Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE); Annual Earnings
before interest and Depreciation (EBID); expected loss in case of
movement in USD-INR exchange rate using annualized volatilities.
Expected loss on account of exchange rate movements is expressed as a
percentage of EBID i.e likely loss/ EBID percentage. As a prudential
measure, Bank is holding incremental capital and made incremental
provisioning (over and above the extant standard assets provisioning)
on the total credit exposure to such entities at the specified rates.
Qualitative disclosure around LCR
The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) is to promote the short term
resilience of the liquidity risk profile of the banks. It is effective
from 1st January 2015 with minimum LCR requirement of 60% to be stepped
up by 10% annually to reach 100% by 1st January 2019.
LCR basically ensures that the Bank maintains an adequate stock of
unencumbered high quality liquid assets (HQLA) that can be converted
easily and immediately into cash to meet liquidity needs for a 30
calendar day liquidity stress scenario.
The Bank has maintained monthly average LCR of 64.95% for the quarter
ended March 2015. The main drivers of LCR are the level of HQLA and the
net cash outflows in the next 30 days. The prime variables which
determines the HQLA of the Bank includes cash, excess CRR surplus SLR
securities, 2% of the mandatory SLR under MSF, 5% of the mandatory SLR
under FALLCR as level 1 assets and forms 93.72% of the total HQLA.
Level 2A and 2B assets are considered to be less liquid than level 1
asset forms 6.28% of the total HQLA.
Net cash outflow in the next 30 days which is the denominator in LCR is
the cash outflow minus cash inflow and is 23.92% of the NDTL. Cash
outflows are more than the cash inflows mainly on account of
followings:
1. Major percentage of Bank''s deposits is callable within the LCR
horizon of 30 days.
2. Cash outflows expected on account of contractual and contingent
funding obligations extended by the Bank to the counterparties are also
relatively high.
3. Inflows are mainly from performing assets which are contractually
due up-to 30 days.

In order to realize the above objectives of Credit Risk Management, the
Bank prescribes various methods for Credit Risk identification,
measurement, grading and aggregation techniques, monitoring and
reporting, risk control / mitigation techniques and management of
problem loans / credits. The Bank has also defined target markets, risk
acceptance criteria, credit approval authorities, and guidelines on
credit origination / maintenance procedures.
The strategies are framed keeping in view various measures for Credit
Risk Mitigation, which includes identification of thrust areas and
target markets, fixing of exposure ceiling based on regulatory
guidelines and risk - appetite of the Bank, Concentration Risk, and the
acceptable level of pricing based on rating.
The Bank from time to time would identify the potential and productive
sectors for lending, based on the performance of the segments and
demands of the economy. The Bank restricts its exposures in sectors
which do not have growth potentials, based on the Banks evaluation of
industries / sectors taking into account the prevailing economic
scenario prospects etc.
The operational processes and systems of the Bank relating to credit
are framed on sound Credit Risk Management Principles and are subjected
to periodical review.
The Bank has comprehensive credit risk identification processes as part
of due diligence on credit proposals.
To have focused attention to large Corporates, specialized branches
viz. Prime Corporate Branches have been set up in major centres.
Further, Retail Hubs have been set up for focused attention to Retail
Lending Portfolio. SME Sulabhs are the category of specialized centres
for promoting and monitoring SME lending business. These specialized
centres are also intended to effectively manage and monitor their
respective portfolios.

response to customers, particularly in respect of high value credits,
relationship and appraisal functions are segregated between the
concerned branch and the Core Credit Groups at Circle Offices. Large
value corporate exposures are largely monitored through specified
branches.
The structure and organization of the Credit Risk Management Function:
Credit Risk Management Structure in the Bank is as under-
Board of Directors
Risk Management Committee of the Board (RMC)
Credit Risk Management Committee (CRMC)
General Manager-Risk Management Wing, H.O (Chief Risk Management

The scope and nature of risk reporting and / or measurement systems:
The Bank has an appropriate credit risk measurement and monitoring
processes. The measurement of risk is through a pre sanction exercise
of credit risk rating and scoring models put in place by the Bank. The
Bank has well laid down guidelines for identifying the parameters under
each of these risks as also assigning weighted scores thereto and
ratingthem on a scale of 8.
The Bank also has a Policy in place on usage/mapping of ratings
assigned by the recognized ECAIs (External Credit Assessment
Institutions) for assigning risk weights for the eligible credit
exposures as per the guidelines of the RBI on Standardized Approach for
capital computation.
The Bank has adopted Standardized Approachfor credit portfolio for
credit risk measurement.
The Bank has embarked upon a software solution viz. CDCRM
(Comprehensive Data and System Architecture on Credit Risk Management)
for establishing a robust credit data warehouse for all MIS
requirements, computation of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA), generate
various credit related reports for review of exposure and monitoring,
and conducting analysis of credit portfolio from various angles.
Policies for hedging and / or mitigating risk and strategies and
processes for monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges /
mitigants:
The Bank primarily relies on the borrowers financial strength and debt
servicing capacity while approving credits. The Bank does not
excessively rely on collaterals or guarantees as a source of repayment
or as a substitute for evaluating borrowers creditworthiness. The Bank
does not deny credit facilities to those assessed as credit worthy for
mere want of adequate collaterals.
In order to manage the Banks credit risk exposure, the Bank has
adopted credit appraisal and approval policies and procedures that are
reviewed and updated by the Risk Management Wing at Head office in
consultation with other functional/Wings. The credit appraisal and
approval process is broadly divided into credit origination, appraisal,
assessment and approval, and dispensation.
Corporate finance and project finance loans are typically secured by a
first lien on fixed assets, normally consisting of property, plant and
equipment. The Bank also takes security of pledge of financial assets
like marketable securities and obtains corporate guarantees and
personal guarantees wherever appropriate. Working Capital loans are
typically secured by a first lien on current assets, which normally
consist of inventory and receivables.
The Bank has laid down detailed guidelines on documentation to ensure
legal certainty of Banks charge on collaterals.
The Banks policy is to ensure portfolio diversification and evaluate
overall financing exposure in a particular industry / sector in the
light of forecasts of growth and profitability for that industry, and
the risk appetite of the Bank. The Bank monitors exposures to major
sectors of the economy and specifically exposure to various industries
and sensitive sectors. Exposure to industrial activities is subjected
to the credit exposure ceilings fixed by the Bank based on the analysis
on performance of the industry. The Banks exposures to single and
group borrowers as also substantial exposure is monitored and
restricted within the prudential ceiling norms advised by Reserve Bank
of India from time to time.
The credit origination is through the grass root level ably assisted by
the branch net work and the Circle Offices. The process of
identification, application is carried out before commencing an in
depth appraisal, due diligence and assessment.
The credit approval process is a critical factor and commences with the
mandatory credit risk rating of the borrower as a pre sanction
exercise. The measurement of Credit Risk associated with the borrower
evaluates indicative factors like, borrowers financial position, cash
flows, activity, current market trends, past trends, management
capabilities, experience with associated business entities, nature of
facilities etc. The Bank has now in place centralized processing
centres for Housing and personal loans at select cities to ease credit
dispensation, reduce turnaround time and ensure specialized attention.
The Bank has anexclusive set up for credit monitoring functions now,
after hiving off the same from Risk Management Wing. This is to have
greater thrust on post sanction monitoring of loans and strengthen
administeringthe various tools available underthe Banks policies on
loan review mechanism.
For effective loan review, the Bank has the following in place:
Credit Audit System to identify, analyze instances of non-compliance
arid rectification.
Review of loan sanctioned by each sanctioning authority by the next
higher authority.
MidTerm Review of borrowal accounts.
Monitoring tools like Credit Monitoring Format, Quarterly Information
Systems, Half Yearly Operation Systems, Stock Audits, Special Watch
List Accounts, etc.
Credit Monitoring Officers in charge of monitoring functions.
Loans Past due and Impaired: As per the prudential norms applied for
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.

and reviewed by the recognized External Credit Rating Agencies,
referred as External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI).
Wherever available, the Bank uses Facility Rating or Bank Loan Rating
for risk weighting the borrowers exposures. Where Issuer Rating is
available, the Bank uses such ratings unless the bank loan is
specifically rated.
The Bank does not simultaneously use the rating of one ECAI for one
exposure and that of another ECAI for another exposure of the same
borrower, unless the respective exposures are rated by only one of the
chosen ECAIs. Further, the Bank does not use rating assigned to a
particular entity within a corporate group to risk weight other
entities within the same group.
Running limits such as Cash Credit are treated as long term exposures
5nd accordingly, long term ratings are used for assigning risk weights
for such exposures.
While mapping/applying the ratings assigned by the ECAIs, the Bank is
guided by the regulatory guidelines/Banks Board approved Policy.
Where exposures/ borrowers have multiple ratings from the chosen ECAIs,
the Bank has adopted the following procedure for risk weight
calculations:
- If there are two ratings accorded by chosen ECAIs, which map into
different risk weights, the higher risk weight is applied.
- If there are three or more ratings accorded by the chosen ECAIs which
map into different risk weights, the ratings corresponding to the
lowest 2 ratings are referred to and higher of those two risk weights
is applied.
TABLE DF 6 - CREDIT RISK MITIGATION - STANDARDIZED APPROACH
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
