Accordingly, necessary disclosures have been made available on the Bank''s website - https://www. kvb.co.in/about-us/disclosures/pillar-III-disclosures/. These disclosures have not been subjected to audit by the Statutory Central Auditors.

1.2 Proposed Dividend

The Board of Directors have recommended a dividend of 80% i.e. ''1.60 per equity share of '' 2.00 each for the year 202122, subject to the approval of the shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with Accounting Standards 4 - Contingencies and Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet date notified by the MCA on March 30, 2016, the proposed dividend amounting to ''128.00 crore has not been shown as an appropriation from the Profit and Loss account for the year ended March 31, 2022 (and correspondingly not reported under Other Liabilities and Provisions as at March 31, 2022). However, capital adequacy ratio has been computed by reducing the proposed dividend.

2b. Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)

i. Qualitative disclosure

Pursuant to RBI guidelines on implementation of Basel III framework applicable to Banks in India with effect from January 01, 2015, measurement of LCR by Bank is undertaken for stress testing. 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 lasting for 30 days. As per extant regulatory guidelines, the minimum LCR to be maintained by Banks is specified at 100%.

i.a Objective

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 a 30 calendar day time horizon under a significantly severe liquidity stress scenario specified by supervisors. At a minimum, the stock of liquid assets should enable the Bank to survive until day 30 of the stress scenario, by which time it is assumed that appropriate corrective actions can be taken.

Bank has consistently maintained LCR above 100% during FY 2021-22 i.e. at levels higher than the required regulatory minimum level, on an ongoing basis.

i.b Composition of HQLA

• Cash in hand

• Excess CRR balance as on that particular day

• Excess 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 15% of NDTL

• AAA rated bonds and AA- & above and marketable securities representing claims guaranteed by sovereigns having risk weights higher than 20% but not higher than 50%

• Common Equity Shares not issued by the Bank or any of its affiliated entities and included in NSE CNX Nifty and/ or S&P BSE Sensex indices.

2c. Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)

Qualitative disclosure

NSFR = Amount of available stable funding (ASF) 4- Amount of required stable funding (RSF).

NSFR indicates that the Bank maintains a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of its assets and off-balance sheet activities and promotes funding stability i.e. resilience over a longer-term time horizon by requiring Banks to fund their activities with more stable sources of funding, on an on-going basis.

ASF is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities, expected to be reliable over the time horizon considered by NSFR, which extends to one year. RSF is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual maturity of various assets (including off-balance sheet exposures) held. RBI has mandated that minimum NSFR of 100% is to be maintained with effect from October 01, 2021.

NSFR standard is structured to:

a) Ensure that investment banking inventories, off-balance sheet exposures, securitisation pipelines and other assets and activities are funded with at-least a minimum amount of stable liabilities;

b) Avoid over-reliance on wholesale funding during times of buoyant market liquidity;

c) Counterbalance the cliff-effects of the liquidity coverage ratio approach;

d) Offset incentives for institutions to fund their stock of liquid assets with short-term funds that mature just outside the supervisory defined horizon for LCR; and

e) Require stable funding for all illiquid assets and securities held, including those held in HFT/AFS i.e. reckon illiquidity and not the assumed execution turnover period.

The following assumptions are used by RBI in the calibration of NSFR:

• Longer-term liabilities are assumed to be more stable than short-term liabilities;

• Short-term (maturing in less than one year) deposits provided by retail customers and funding provided by small business customers are behaviourally more stable than wholesale funding of the same maturity from other counterparties;

• For the sake of continuity and resilience of credit creation, stable funding for some proportion of lending to the real economy is required;

• Banks may seek to roll over a significant proportion of maturing loans to preserve customer relationships;

• Short-dated assets (maturing in less than one year) require a smaller proportion of stable funding because these could be allowed to mature without rolling-over;

• Unencumbered, high-quality assets that can be securitised or traded or used as collateral to secure additional funding, do not need to be wholly financed with stable funding; and

• At least a small portion of the potential calls on liquidity arising from off-balance sheet commitments and contingent funding obligations need to be met by stable funding.

NSFR is measured on a quarterly basis and advanced techniques such as stress testing, sensitivity analysis etc. are conducted

periodically to assess the impact of various contingencies.

Quantitative disclosure - The following table sets out the details of NSFR of the Bank

Notes to Account

8.3 Qualitative disclosure around LCR

Pursuant to RBI guidelines on implementation of Basel III framework applicable to banks in India with effect from January 01, 2015, 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 lasting for 30 days.

Objective

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 a 30 calendar day time horizon under a significantly severe liquidity stress scenario specified by supervisors. At a minimum, the stock of liquid assets should enable the bank to survive until day 30 of the stress scenario, by which time it is assumed that appropriate corrective actions can be taken.

The bank has consistently maintained LCR above 100% during FY 2018-19 as against the regulatory minimum of 90% (till December 2018) / 100% (from January 2019). The quarterly daily average LCR of the Bank for the quarter ended March 2019 is 253.27%.

The Bank has Board approved Compensation Policy in terms of the RBI guidelines. NRC shall work in close co-ordination with the Risk Management and Asset Liability Management Committee of the Board in order to achieve effective alignment between remuneration and risks.

The Compensation Policy of the Bank covers the compensation payable to all the employees including the Part-time (Non-Executive) Chairman, MD&CEO/WTD, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management as per the guidelines of RBI. NRC will review the policy from time to time.

As the Bank is a party to the Bi-partite settlements at all India level in respect of workmen cadre employees and Officer Employees for the payment of salary and other emoluments, the Bank follows the emoluments / compensation as arrived at in each Bi-partite settlement. Currently bank has given its mandate to Bi-partite settlement at all India level that all employees up to the Scale III cadre would be subjected to such emoluments / compensation structure. Presently Bank is following the emoluments/compensation structure as arrived at the Bi-partite settlements from Scale IV to VII cadres. Taking into account the said Bi-partite salary structure, the policy excludes all risk takers who are under contract of employment. Compensation for employees appointed under CTC basis is determined based on the industry standards, the exposure, skill sets, talent and qualification attained. Bank shall ensure that the salary package payable to them shall be in line with RBI guidelines.

Objective of the Compensation policy is to align the compensation with prudent risk taking; Compensation must be adjusted for all types of risks Compensation outcomes must be symmetric with risk outcomes Compensation pay-out schedules must be sensitive to the time horizon of risks The proportion of cash, equity and other forms of compensation must be consistent with risk alignment.

c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes. It should include the nature and type of the key measures used to take account of these risks:

Compensation Policy adopted by the Bank address the issues pertaining to current and future risks. Risk measures in the policy are reviewed on timely basis and are updated to suit the skill gaps and current day needs. A wide variety of measures of credit, market and liquidity risks are used by the bank in implementation of risk adjustment. This risk adjustment has both quantitative and qualitative elements. The Policy effectively aligns the compensation with prudent risk taking and shall be symmetrical with risk outcomes as well as sensitive to the time horizon of risk.

Bank being a party to IBA settlement all emoluments / compensation are as arrived in IBA structure. Further Bank also has (Cost to Company) CTC structure for which a comprehensive framework has been adopted. Bank also recognises long term incentives in the form of ESOPS. The remuneration system strives to maintain the ability to attract, retain, reward and motivate the talent in order to enable the Bank to attain its strategic objectives.

Board of Directors of the Bank through its NRC shall exercise oversight & effective governance over the framing and implementing the Compensation policy.

d) Description of the ways in which the bank seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period with levels of remuneration:

Bank would ensure that the compensation is adjusted to all types of risk, symmetrical with risk outcomes as well as sensitive to the time horizon of risk. Bank follows a performance-based remuneration, which motivates and rewards high performers who strengthen long-term customer relations, and generate income and shareholder value.

The Bank while designing the compensation structure ensures that there is a proper balance between fixed pay and variable pay. The variable pay could be in cash, stock linked instruments or a mix of both, However Employees Stock Option shall not form part of the total compensation as per the policy adopted in line with the RBI Guidelines. Bank ensures that variable pay shall relate to the performance of the Bank.

While fixing the Variable Pay, performance parameters under financial and non-financial areas of operations are assessed. The financial performance of the bank is factored while determining the amount of variable remuneration to be paid. The Bank''s compensation policy stipulates that Variable pay shall not exceed 40% of the fixed pay in any year.

In the event of negative growth of the bank and or the relevant line of business in any year, the deferred compensation shall be subjected to malus and claw back arrangements in tune with the RBI guidelines.

e) A discussion of the bank''s policy on deferral and vesting of variable remuneration and a discussion of the bank''s policy and criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration before vesting and after vesting:

As per the Compensation Policy, variable pay is eligible on the achievement of certain business/compliance targets fixed by the management. Compensation policy of the Bank prescribes the maximum variable pay, which shall not exceed 40 per cent of the fixed pay. In terms of the RBI extant guidelines, the variable pay is fixed to 70 per cent of the fixed pay and deferral arrangement for payment of variable pay is necessitated where such proposed variable pay exceeds substantial portion of the fixed pay, i.e. 50% or more. However, as the variable pay limit fixed by the Bank is less than the threshold limit for having the deferral arrangement of variable remuneration. Hence, the criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration do not arise to the Bank.

f) Description of the different forms of variable remuneration (i.e. cash, shares, ESOPs and other forms) that the bank utilizes and the rationale for using these different forms:

The Bank ensures that the compensation structure is comprehensive and considers both, qualitative and quantitative performance measures. Bank uses an optimum mix of cash, non-cash, ESOPS to decide the compensation of all employees. Variable pay is purely based on performance and is measured through score cards.

Bank subscribes to different forms of variable pay such as performance linked incentives, Ex-gratia for other employees, non-cash incentives, Bonus, any other incentives by whatever name called having the similar features.

Bank has Employees Stock Option Scheme or Plan i.e. ESOS or ESOP NRC may grant stock options under the Employees Stock Options Plan/Scheme from time to time in terms of SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2015. Such Stock Options will be excluded from the components of variable pay.

The Bank shall not grant any severance pay (other than the terminal benefits and gratuity as per the provisions).

Bank shall not provide any facility or funds or permit to insure or hedge his/her compensation structure to offset the risk alignment effects embedded in the compensation package.

The overall portfolio is operated within the risk limit fixed by the Bank.

Forex derivative deals are offered to clients on back-to-back basis. The outstanding deals are marked to market on monthly basis. The MTM values are informed to the clients every month and margin topped up where required.

The Board reviews the risk profile of the outstanding portfolio at regular intervals.

Accounting:

Accounting Policies as per RBI guidelines have been adopted. The hedge swaps are accounted for like a hedge of the asset or liability. The income / expense on hedge swaps are accounted on accrual basis except where swap transactions whose underlying is subjected to mark to market. Such hedge swaps are marked to market on a monthly basis and the gain / losses are recorded as an adjustment to the designated asset / liability. The Non hedge swaps are marked to market every month and the MTM losses in the basket are accounted in the books while MTM profits are ignored.
