Directors' Report

To the Members,

Introduction:

Your Directors take great pleasure in presenting the 22nd Annual Report on the business and operations of your Bank, together with 
the audited accounts for the year ended March 31, 2016.

It’s been a transformational year for your Bank in more ways than one. Led by a slew of digital innovations, many of them pioneering 
and  several  initiatives  in  rural  India,  your  Bank  was  able  to  cement  its  position  as  a  premier  Bank  across  markets,  from  metros  
to the hinterland. The Bank’s singular endeavour to offer an agnostic customer experience across all its geographies has enabled  
it to garner not just substantial mindshare but also market share.

Your Bank has also contributed as a corporate citizen substantially through its Sustainable Livelihood Initiative, which skills those 
at the Bottom of the Pyramid and enables them to earn a livelihood by providing captial and in the process substituting usurious 
lending  by  the  unorganized  financial  sector. Through  its  CSR  programme,  your  Bank  is  helping  create  sustainable  communities.  
These  initiatives  helped  the  larger  society  bond  better  with  the  Bank. They  were  also  instrumental  in  establishing  your  Bank  
as India’s Most Valuable Brand for the 2nd consecutive year in a study conducted by Millward Brown, a leading global research agency 
specializing in media and brand equity research and a part of communications group WPP.

While the Bank’s operations complemented by new initiatives during the year led to higher revenues and profitability, its traditional 
prudence ensured that it did not come at the cost of asset quality.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Macroeconomic and Industry Developments

India’s  economy  recorded  a  growth  rate  of  7.6  per  cent  in 
terms  of  real  Gross  Domestic  Product  (GDP)  in  2015-16. 
This  was  the  highest  in  five  years  despite  the  continued 
slowdown in global growth and two consecutive years of deficient 
monsoons in India. Inflation moderated, with the average level 
of Consumer Price Inflation declining to 5 per cent in 2015-16 
from  6  per  cent  in  2014-15.  Domestic  manufacturing  growth 
improved  to  a  robust  9.5  per  cent  compared  to  5.5  per  cent  
in  financial  year  2014-15.    It  reflects  stronger  value  addition 
due to subdued input prices, which was a result of the declining 
global  commodity  cycle.  Foreign  Direct  Investment  inflows 
(FDI) increased by 40 per cent in the April–December period  
of 2015 over the corresponding period of the previous year.

A  range  of  supply  side  measures,  including  prudent  food 
stock  management,  appropriate  monetary  policy  action  and 
subdued global commodity prices aided the decline in inflation. 
Meanwhile,  initiatives  such  as  ‘Make  in  India’,  power  sector 
reforms, the liberalization of FDI rules and higher government 
capital  expenditure  spending  indicate  an  incipient  revival  
in domestic investment activity.

Going forward, weakness in private investment cycle and asset 
quality strain in the banking sector could prevent a full-fledged 
recovery, though some improvement in the growth rate is quite 
likely. Risks on the external front continue to loom in the form  
of a wider emerging market slowdown, especially on account 
of China and the likely volatility in global financial markets.

improve 

inflation  mix  should 

The  growth 
for  2016-17  
as  the  Government  is  expected  to  undertake  more  structural 
reforms and the RBI is likely to be more accommodative in its 
monetary policy. Going by the Union Budget, the focus of fiscal 
policy in the coming year will be the revival of rural economy  
and sustained increase in capital expenditure. Besides, higher 
outlay on various social sector programmes and implementation 
of  Seventh  Central  Pay  Commission  recommendations 
should boost consumption spending. Going forward, headline  
GDP growth should increase to 7.8 per cent in 2016-17 from 
7.6 per cent in 2015-16.

Business Segments’ Update

Consistent  with  its  past  performance,  your  Bank  has  achieved 
healthy growth across various operating and financial parameters 
in the last financial year. This performance reflected the strength 
and diversity of three primary business franchises - retail banking, 
wholesale  banking  and  treasury  and  of  its  disciplined  approach  
to risk-reward management.

Retail Banking

ended March 31, 2016, driven by Retail Term Deposits which 
grew faster at 23.4 per cent during the same period. 

The Bank’s Retail Advances grew by 28.6 per cent to ` 248,319 
crore during the year ended March 31, 2016 driven primarily 
by  growth  in  Personal  Loans,  Auto  Loans,  Home  Loans,  
and  Credit  Cards.  Retail  Advances  include  loans  which  fulfil 
the criteria of orientation, nature of product, granularity and low 
value of individual exposures for retail exposures as laid down 
by the Basel Committee. 

The  growth  in  Retail  Advances  has  been  primarily  due  to 
two factors. First is the extensive network of branches across  
the length and breadth of the country which allows the Bank 
to  reach  out  to  different  customer  segments.  Second  is  the 
emphasis on innovation across multiple channels, which offers 
customers  choice,  convenience  and  a  superior  experience. 
Faster  and  more  efficient  platform  deliveries  across  ATMs, 
Internet,  Phones  and  Mobiles  have  been  the  cornerstone  
of  the  growth  in  Retail  Advances.  Focus  on  cutting  edge 
analytics  and  Customer  Relationship  Management  (CRM) 
has  helped  the  Bank  to  understand  the  customers’  life  cycle 
better  and  offer  them  products  appropriate  to  their  profile  
and  needs.  Further,  analytics  also  allow  the  Bank  to  target 
potential  customers  in  a  cost  effective  manner. This  enables 
your Bank to strengthen its relationship with existing customers, 
as  well  as  forge  new  relationships.  Focus  on  analytics  
and  CRM  also  helps  in  understanding  the  risk  profile  
of customers and helps improve fraud control and collections.

During the year under review, your Bank added 506 branches 
taking  its  physical  distribution  network  to  4,520  branches  
in  2,587  cities  /  towns  from  4,014  branches  in  2,464  cities  / 
towns  as  on  March  31,  2015.  Number  of  ATMs  increased  to 
12,000 from 11,766 during the same period. The Bank’s focus 
on  semi-urban  and  under-banked  markets  continued  with  55 
per  cent  of  its  branches  in  such  areas. The  Bank’s  customer 
base has grown to 3.77 crore.

In  order  to  provide  its  customers  greater  choice,  flexibility 
and  convenience,  your  Bank  continued  to  make  significant 
headway  (investments)  in  its  multichannel  servicing  strategy, 
offering  its  customers  the  use  of  ATMs,  Internet,  Phones  
and MobileBanking in addition to its expanded branch network 
to  serve  their  banking  needs.  PhoneBanking  services  are 
available even for Non Resident Indian (NRI) customers across 
the globe.

Deposits  grew  by  20.9  per  cent  to  `  436,383  crore  in  the  year 

The  Bank  continued  its  focus  on  existing  customers  for  its 
credit  cards  portfolio,  with  over  75  per  cent  of  new  cards 
issued to this segment. As part of its strategy to drive usage

of  its  credit  cards,  the  Bank  also  has  a  significant  presence 
in  the  ‘merchant  acquiring’  business,  with  the  total  number  
of point-of-sale (POS) terminals installed crossing 2.8 lakh.

In addition to the aforementioned products, the Bank operates 
in the home loan business in conjunction with HDFC Limited. 
Under  this  arrangement,  the  Bank  sells  loans  provided  
by HDFC Limited through its branches. HDFC Limited approves 
and disburses the loans, with the Bank receiving a sourcing fee 
for these loans. The Bank has the option to purchase up to 70 
per cent of the fully disbursed home loans sourced under this 
arrangement either through the issue of mortgage backed pass 
through certificates (PTCs) or by a direct assignment of loans.
The balance is retained by HDFC Limited. A fee is paid to HDFC 
Limited for the administration and servicing of the loans. Your 
Bank originated, on an average, approximately ` 1,300 crore of 
home loans every month in the year under review. During the 
same  period,  the  Bank  purchased  from  HDFC  Limited  home 
loans worth ` 12,773 crore under the “loan assignment” route.

and  Mutual  Fund  products  through  its  tie-ups  with  insurance 
companies  and  mutual  fund  houses.  Third  Party  Distribution 
Income  contributed  approximately  14  per  cent  of  total  fee 
income  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016,  compared  
to 15 per cent of the total fee income for the previous year.

The  Bank’s  data  warehouse, 
relationship 
management  (CRM)  and  analytics  solutions  have  helped 
it  target  existing  and  potential  customers  in  a  cost  effective 
manner  and  offer  them  products  appropriate  to  their  profile 
and needs. Apart from reducing costs of acquisition, this has 
also helped in deepening customer relationships and greater 
efficiency  in  fraud  control  and  collection  activities  resulting 
in  lower  credit  losses. The  Bank  is  committed  to  investing  in 
advanced technology in this area which will provide a cutting 
edge to its product and service offerings.

a wide range of commercial and transactional banking products, 
backed by high quality service and relationship management.

Loans  continued  to  account  for  a  large  share  of  its  Wholesale 
Advances.  During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016,  growth  
in the Wholesale Banking business continued to be driven by new

it  has  further  ensured  a  larger  conversion  of  physical  payments 
into electronic in the Cash Management Business.

The  Bank  has  succeeded  in  leveraging  its  market  position, 
expertise  and  technology  to  create  a  competitive  advantage 
and  build  market  share  by  offering  customised  solutions.  From 
customised ERP integrations to high-end SAP certified solutions, 
the  Bank  has  been  a  leading  proponent  of  adopting  innovative 
technology. 

As  part  of  the  Bank’s  on-going  digital  transformation,  the  Bank 
extended  its  “Trade  on  Net”  offering  on  mobile.  This  product 
enables  customers  to  avail  of  Remittances,  Letters  of  Credit, 
and  Guarantees  through  the  net  platform.  It  gained  enormous 
acceptance with customers due to the savings and convenience 
it offers.

International Operations

Your  Bank  currently  has  three  overseas  branches:  a Wholesale 
Banking  branch  in  Bahrain,  a  branch  in  Hong  Kong  and  
a branch at Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC) in Dubai.  
The overseas branches offer multiple banking services including 
Treasury  Products,  Trade  Finance  and  Loans  to  customers.  
The  DIFC  branch  offers  advisory  services  to  High  Net  Worth 
Individuals  and  Corporates. Your  Bank  also  has  Representative 
Offices 
in  Abu  Dhabi  and  Nairobi  which  are  engaged  
in  promotional  and  marketing  activities  of  the  Bank’s  brand 
name  among  the  Non-Resident  Indians.  As  of  March  31,  2016,  
the combined balance sheet size of overseas branches was over  
$  5  billion.  Advances  at  overseas  branches  constituted  close  to  
7 per cent of the Bank’s gross advances as on March 31, 2016. 
The  total  income  of  the  overseas  branches  constituted  over  
1.5 per cent of the Bank’s total income for the year.

Your  Bank  mobilized  $  3.4  billion  in  special  FCNR  (B)  deposits 
from  NRI  clients  under  RBI  swap  window  in  2013.  This  was 
the  highest  among  all  Banks.  NRI  clients  had  availed  of  loans 
amounting  to  $  1.8  billion  from  the  Bahrain  branch  towards 
booking  these  deposits.  As  a  major  portion  of  these  deposits 
was  for  a  3  year  tenor,  this  would  come  up  for  maturity  during  
September - November 2016.

Treasury 

The Treasury  Group  is  responsible  for  compliance  with  reserve 
requirements and management of liquidity and interest rate risk on 
the Bank’s balance sheet. On the foreign exchange and derivatives 
front,  revenues  were  driven  primarily  by  spreads  on  customer 
transactions based on trade flows and customers’ demonstrated 
hedging needs. The year ended March 31, 2016 recorded ` 1,227.7 
crore in revenues from foreign exchange and derivative transactions. 
These  revenues  were  distributed  across  large  and  emerging 
corporates,  business  banking  and  retail  customer  segments  for 
plain vanilla foreign exchange products and across primarily large  

and  emerging  corporate  segments  for  derivatives. The  Bank 
offers Indian Rupee and foreign exchange derivative products 
to  its  customers,  who  use  them  to  hedge  their  market  risks.  
The Bank enters into foreign exchange and derivative deals with 
counterparties after it has set up appropriate counterparty credit 
limits based on its evaluation of the ability of the counterparty 
to  meet  its  obligations  in  the  event  of  crystallization  of  the 
exposure.  Appropriate  credit  covenants  may  be  stipulated 
where  required  as  trigger  events  to  call  for  collaterals  or 
terminate a transaction and contain the risk. Where the Bank 
enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, not involving 
the Indian Rupee, with its customers it lays them off in the inter-
Bank  market  on  a  matched  basis.  For  such  foreign  currency 
derivatives,  the  Bank  primarily  carries  the  counterparty 
credit  risk  (where  the  customer  has  crystallized  payables  or  
mark-to-market  losses).  The  Bank  also  deals  in  derivatives  
on its own account, including for the purpose of its own balance 
sheet risk management. 

to  meet 

Given  the  regulatory  requirement  of  holding  government 
securities 
the  Statutory  Liquidity  Ratio  (SLR) 
requirement,  your  Bank  maintains  a  portfolio  of  Government 
Securities. While a significant portion of these SLR securities 
are  held  in  the  “Held-to-Maturity”  (HTM)  category,  some  of 
these are held in the “Available for Sale” (AFS) category. The 
Bank is also a Primary Dealer for Government Securities. As 
a part of this business, as well as otherwise, the Bank holds 
fixed income securities in the ‘Held for Trading’ (HFT) category.

This  has  gained  even  more  criticality  as  the  customer  can  now 
access  the  Bank’s  services  across  traditional  touch  points  like 
branches, ATMs as well as the digital ones like the Internet and 
Mobile.  Thanks  to  the  new  digital  products  on  offer  from  the 
Bank - constantly monitoring the customer experience, securing 
feedback  and  acting  on  it  becomes  even  more  imperative. Your 
Bank has therefore augmented the training and skill development 
mechanism to empower and equip employees to deliver improved 
quality  of  Customer  Service,  as  well  as  put  in  place  a  more 
stringent grievance monitoring and redressal mechanism across 
different delivery channels. The effectiveness of these measures 
is reviewed periodically at different levels including the Board of 
Directors. All these initiatives have helped in consistent reduction 
in total number of customer complaints. It is also a testimony to 
the  Bank’s  strong  and  objective  review  mechanism.  These  are 
done by an independent cross functional team of senior staff to 
ensure  unbiased  resolution.  In  addition  to  the  aforementioned 
measures, in compliance with Regulatory guidelines, your Bank 
has appointed a senior retired banker as Chief Customer Service 
Officer (Internal Ombudsman) who heads the review mechanism.

As  a  result  of  the  continued  focus  on  customer  service,  your 
Bank has received written appreciation from many of the Banking 
Ombudsmen appointed by Reserve Bank of India across locations 
such as Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, 
Madhya  Pradesh,  Maharashtra,  Punjab,  Sikkim,  Uttarakhand, 
Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

Risk Management and Portfolio Quality 

Integral to its business, the Bank takes on various types of risk, 
the most important of which are credit risk, market risk, liquidity 
risk  and  operational  risk.  The  identification,  measurement, 
monitoring  and  management  of  risks  remain  a  key  focus 
area  for  the  Bank.  Sound  risk  management  and  balancing  
risk-reward trade-offs are critical to the Bank’s success. Business 
and  revenue  growth  are  therefore  to  be  weighed  in  the  context 
of  the  risks  implicit  in  the  Bank’s  business  strategy.  The  Board  
of Directors of your Bank endorses the risk strategy and approves

the risk policies. The Risk Policy and Monitoring Committee of the 
Board supervises implementation of the risk strategy. It guides the 
development  of  policies,  procedures  and  systems  for  managing 
risk. The committee periodically reviews risk level and direction, 
portfolio composition, status of impaired credits as well as limits 
for treasury operations.

To manage credit risk, the Bank has a comprehensive centralized 
risk management function, independent from the operations and 
business units of the Bank. Distinct policies, processes and systems 
are  in  place  for  the  retail  and  wholesale  lending  businesses.  
In the retail loan businesses, the credit cycle is managed through 
appropriate front-end credit, operational and collection processes. 
For  each  product,  programmes  defining  customer  segments, 
underwriting  standards  and  security  structure  are  specified  to 
ensure consistency of credit buying patterns. Given the granularity 
of individual exposures, retail credit risk is monitored largely on a 
portfolio basis, across various products and customer segments. 
For  wholesale  credit  exposures,  management  of  credit  risk  is 
done through target market definition, appropriate credit approval 
processes,  ongoing  post-disbursement  monitoring  and  remedial 
management  procedures.  Overall  portfolio  diversification, 
prudential  ceilings  across  various  dimensions 
(individual/ 
borrower group, industry, credit risk rating grades, and country), 
product mix, security structures and periodic as well as proactive 
reviews facilitate risk mitigation and management.

The  asset  quality  of  the  Indian  banking  industry  came  under 
severe pressure during the year due to broader macroeconomic 
factors  as  well  as  issues  specific  to  certain  sectors  in  the 
economy.  The  banking  industry  on  a  collective  basis  saw  
a sharp spike in non-performing assets as also flexible structuring  
of loans under the RBI framework. Your Bank did not witness any 
significant  deterioration  in  overall  asset  quality  and  continues 
to  maintain  the  highest  standards  of  governance  in  respect  
of recognition and provisioning of non-performing loans. 

During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016,  your  Bank’s  ratio  
of  gross  non-performing  assets  (NPAs)  to  gross  advances  was 
0.9  per  cent.  Net  non-performing  assets  (gross  non-performing 
assets  less  specific  loan  loss  provisions)  were  0.3  per  cent  of 
net  advances  as  of  March  31,  2016.  Total  restructured  assets 
(including  applications  under  process 
restructuring) 
were  0.1  per  cent  of  gross  advances  as  of  March  31,  2016.  
The specific loan loss provisions that the Bank has made for its 
non-performing  assets  continue  to  be  more  conservative  than 
the  regulatory  requirements.  In  addition,  the  Bank  has  made 
general  provisions  for  standard  assets  which  are  as  per  the 
regulatory  prescription.  The  coverage  ratio  taking  into  account 
specific, general and floating provisions was 146 per cent as of  
March 31, 2016.

through  changes  in  the  economic  value  of  its  interest  rate 
sensitive  assets,  liabilities  and  off-balance  sheet  positions.  
The  policy  framework  for  liquidity  and  interest  rate  risk 
management is established in the Bank’s ALM policy which is 
guided  by  regulatory  instructions. Your  Bank  has  established 
various Board approved limits viz., maturity gap limits and limits 
on  stock  ratios  for  liquidity  risk  and  limits  on  income  impact 
and  market  value  impact  for  interest  rate  risk.  Your  Bank’s 
Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for adherence 
to  liquidity  risk  and  interest  rate  risk  limits.  Additionally,  
your Bank has a comprehensive Board approved stress testing 
programme  covering  liquidity  and  interest  rate  risk  which  
is  aligned  with  the  regulatory  guidelines.  The  Liquidity 
Coverage Ratio (LCR) is a global minimum standard for Bank 
liquidity. The ratio 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.  In  June  2014,  RBI  released  Basel  III  Framework  
on Liquidity Standards - Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), Liquidity

Risk Monitoring Tools and LCR Disclosure Standards. Based 
on the guidelines, LCR became effective on January 1, 2015.  
The  minimum  requirement  for  the  ratio  was  70  per  cent  on 
January 1, 2016, increasing in equal annual increments to reach 
100 per cent on January 1, 2019. As per the prevailing guidelines, 
your  Bank’s  monthly  average  LCR,  for  the  quarter  ended  
March 31, 2016 was 80 per cent.

In  accordance  with  RBI’s  guidelines,  the  Bank  is  currently 
on  the  Standardized  Approach  for  Credit  Risk,  the  Basic 
Indicator Approach for Operational Risk and the Standardized  
Approach for Market  Risk. Parallely, the Bank is progressing 
with  its  initiatives  for  migrating  to  the  advanced  approaches  
for  these  risks.  The  framework  of  the  advanced  approaches  
is  in  harmony  with  the  Bank’s  objective  of  adopting  best 
practices in risk management.

The  Bank  has  a  structured  management  framework  in  the 
Internal  Capital  Adequacy  Assessment  Process  (ICAAP)  for 
the identification and evaluation of the significance of all risks 
that the Bank faces, which may have a material adverse impact 
on  its  business  and  financial  position.  The  Bank  considers

HDFC Securities Ltd)

The  Bank  has  a  Board  approved  Stress  Testing  Policy  and 
Framework  which  forms  an  integral  part  of  the  Bank’s  ICAAP. 
Stress Testing involves the use of various techniques to assess 
the Bank’s potential vulnerability to extreme but plausible stressed 
business  conditions. The  changes  in  the  levels  of  various  risks 
and  the  changes  in  the  on  and  off  balance  sheet  positions  
of  the  Bank  are  assessed  under  assumed  stress  scenarios  
and  sensitivity  factors.  Typically,  these  relate,  inter  alia,  to  the 
impact on the Bank’s profitability and capital adequacy.

Internal Controls, Audit and Compliance

Your  Bank  has  Internal  Audit  and  Compliance  functions  which 
are responsible for independently evaluating the adequacy of all 
internal controls and ensuring operating and business units adhere 
to  internal  processes  and  procedures  as  well  as  to  regulatory 
and  legal  requirements.  The  audit  function  also  proactively 
recommends improvements in operational processes and service 
quality. To  mitigate  operational  risks,  the  Bank  has  put  in  place 
extensive  internal  controls  including  audit  trails,  appropriate 
segregation of front and back office operations, post transaction 
monitoring  processes  at  the  back  end  to  ensure  independent 
checks  and  balances,  adherence  to  the  laid  down  policies  
and  procedures  of  the  Bank  and  to  all  applicable  regulatory 
guidelines.  The 
function  also  carries  out 
management self-assessment of adequacy of the Bank’s internal 
financial  controls  and  operating  effectiveness  of  such  controls 
in  terms  of  Sarbanes  Oxley  (SOX)  Act  and  Companies  Act, 
2013. Your  Bank  has  always  adhered  to  the  highest  standards  
of compliance and governance and has put in place controls and 
an appropriate structure to ensure this. To ensure independence, 
the  internal  audit  function  has  a  reporting  line  to  the  Chairman  
of the Audit Committee of the Board and only a dotted line reporting 
to the Managing Director. The Audit Committee of the Board also 
reviews  the  performance  of  the  audit  and  compliance  functions 
and  reviews  the  effectiveness  of  controls  and  compliance  with 
regulatory guidelines.

Corporate  Social  Responsibility  -  Building  Sustainable 
Communities

Building sustainable communities especially in rural India is a core 
CSR  objective  of  the  Bank. Your  Bank  has  identified  Integrated 
Rural  Development  as  a  vehicle  for  socio-economic  change  
and community building. This encompasses Education, Sanitation, 
Skill  Development  and  Livelihood  Creation.  Within  these  broad 
areas,  particular  focus  is  to  impart  financial  literacy  /  inclusion  
and sanitation. The recipients of these interventions are primarily 
women from the marginal sections of society.

The Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) is spread 
across  diverse  geographies  ranging  from  the  arid  regions  
of  Marathwada  in  Maharashtra  to  the  wet  lands  of  Meghalaya.

In  the  endeavour  to  create  sustainable  livelihood,  the  Bank 
promotes  activities  that  are  economically  empowering  while 
keeping  in  mind  the  socio-economic  context  and  the  ecology  of 
the region. These include providing assistance to villages in soil  
and  water  conservation,  water  management,  construction, 
renovation  and  maintenance  of  water  harvesting  structures  
for improving surface and ground water availability, in partnership 
with  the  Village  Development  Committees.  Soil  and  water 
conservation work has been initiated in 550 acres of land (covering 
over  140  farmer  families)  with  65  acres  brought  under  irrigation 
for  the  first  time  and  45  acres  brought  under  assured  irrigation. 
In one such intervention in Madhya Pradesh, the development of 
a  cluster  of  seven  villages  situated  in  Mandla  district  has  been 
undertaken. This region is home to a significant tribal population, 
which is largely cut off from mainstream development.

Similar  programmes  are 
in  progress  at  Maharashtra  and 
Chhattisgarh.  Raigarh  in  Maharashtra  is  a  case  in  point,  where 
ESR  (Elevated  Storage  Reservoir)  has  been  provided  which 
ensures  that  every  house  has  a  water  connection.  Your  Bank 
has  also  installed  solar  street  lights  which  benefit  the  entire 
community  especially  women  /  girls  as  they  face  difficulties  
in venturing out after sunset. 

Since economic and social empowerment are the end objective 
of  the  development  interventions,  the  Bank’s  CSR  efforts  are 
reinforced  by  its  direct  intervention  on  financial  inclusion  and 
literacy, thereby creating economically sustainable communities.

The  livelihood  initiatives  of  the  Bank  centre  around  providing 
training  and  capacity  development  to  youth  and  women  from 
sections  of  society  that  have  no  access  to  formal  education.  
The  support  programmes  are  aimed  at  providing  competency-

With  various  combinations  of  initiatives  based  on  agriculture 
and  allied  businesses,  your  Bank  has  supported  more  than 
4,000  households,  trained  more  than  500  youth  on  different 
trades  enabling 
to  be  entrepreneurs.  Another  600 
have  been  trained  to  become  employable.  In  2015-16  alone,  
the  Bank  trained  over  85,000  people  through  the  Sustainable

skill  development:  The  National  University  Students  Skill 
Development  Programme  in  association  with  the  Tata  Institute 
of  Social  Sciences  which  focuses  on  increasing  employability 
of  university  students  by  imparting  knowledge  and  skills  that 
make  them  job  ready.  The  students  are  trained  and  certified  

in  vocational  skills  in  addition  to  their  university  graduate 
degree.  There  is  also  a  need  to  ensure  that  a  minimum  80  
per cent of the students secure jobs on completion of graduation. 
About 4,200 students have undergone such training.

Your Bank has also initiated entrepreneurship and youth skills 
development  programme  in  the  villages  around  Bilaspur  and 
Ponsara in Chhattisgarh which provide training in the fields of 
IT enabled Skills (ITeS), Industrial Electrician and Agriculture.

Education  is  the  key  to  initiating  change.  Keeping  this  in 
mind,  programmes  are  structured  to  ensure  that  the  children 
are  provided  with  basic  infrastructure  to  create  a  conducive 
learning environment to acquire quality education. Continuing 
with  its  mission  to  provide  clean  sanitation  in  schools,  your 
Bank has covered over 850 such institutions in more than 500 
villages across Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, 
Madhya  Pradesh,  Meghalaya,  Punjab  and  Rajasthan.  
In addition to construction of toilets, the Bank has tied up with 
over  10  NGO  partners  to  implement  a  behavioural  change 
programme  which  is  oriented  towards  hygiene.  The  School 
Management  Committee  is  encouraged  to  take  ownership  of 
maintaining  the  units. The  interventions  under WASH  (Water 
Sanitation  and  Hygiene)  have  also  addressed  the  need  for 
clean drinking water in schools.

In  addition  to  this,  30,000  students  have  benefited  from  
an  on-going  programme  of  financial  literacy,  offered  with  a 
partner NGO in 300 schools of Chhattisgarh and Bihar. Some 
other  key  initiatives  under  education  are  teachers  training, 
learning camps and career guidance programmes. In one such 
programme,  your  Bank  has  undertaken  the  challenging  task 
of  implementing  an  innovative  programme  ‘Zero  Investment 
Innovation  in  Education  Initiative’  across  schools  in  Uttar 
Pradesh  to  encourage  low  cost  innovation.  The  first  phase 
has  seen  over  2  lakh  teachers  oriented  on  this  concept  with 
over 1 lakh innovative ideas submitted. Twenty five shortlisted 
ideas will be recognized and implemented across the state run 
schools in Uttar Pradesh.

Environment Sustainability

Maintaining  a  balance  between 
the  natural  capital  
and  communities  is  now  integral  to  the  Bank’s  functioning.  
Towards this end, Bank’s ATMs have gone paperless, enabling 
reduction  of  carbon  footprint. The  Bank  has  given  this  effort 
a  further  fillip  by  ensuring  multichannel  delivery  through 
NetBanking, PhoneBanking and MobileBanking. This reduces 
carbon  emission  from  operations  as  well  as  on  account  of 
reduced  customer  travel  requirements.  Another  source  for 
reducing  the  environmental  footprint  is  solar  ATMs.  These 
use  rechargeable  Lithium  Ion  batteries  that  bring  down  the 
consumption of power generated using conventional sources.

to  organize  camps  on 
thus increasing the reach and spread of this social campaign.

Financial Inclusion

It  is  well  accepted  that  increased  financial  inclusion  leads  to 
enhanced  GDP  growth.  The  potential  in  India  is  especially 
enormous  as  40  per  cent  of  the  country’s  total  population 
does not have access to formal banking services. Your Bank’s 
financial  inclusion  initiatives  are  integrated  across  its  various 
businesses and product groups.

Your Bank is committed to furthering financial inclusion under  
the  Pradhan  Mantri  Jan  Dhan  Yojana  (PMJDY)  and  social 
security schemes. In line with the Government’s philosophy of  
“Digital India” it has implemented customer friendly technology 
solutions to make basic banking available to the common man 
through Aadhaar and Rupay Card enabled micro-ATMs (compliant 
to Unique Identification Authority of India) at every Bank Mitra  
or Business Correspondent location.

the  Government’s  efforts,  your  Bank  
Complementing 
the  “J-A-M” 
has  aggressively  advocated  and  pursued 
(Jandhan, Aadhaar, Mobile) trinity to ensure a holistic coverage  
of customers and easy access through digital channels as well 
as Aadhaar seeding to ensure Government benefits reach the  
end-customer.  The  Bank  has  opened  15.8  lakh  PMJDY 
accounts since the launch of the scheme.

Prior  to  the  launch  of  PMJDY,  the  Bank  had  been  mobilising 
Basic  Banking  Savings  Deposit  Accounts  (BBSDA)  with  the 
specific objective of providing customers a platform to inculcate 
savings  habit.  The  Bank  periodically  tracks  the  behaviour  in 
these accounts to ensure that the accounts opened are active. 
The  total  number  of  BBSDA  was  73.8  lakh  (including  those 
opened  under  PMJDY  umbrella)  as  on  March  31,  2016  as 
against 49.35 lakh as on March 31, 2015.

The  Government  launched  social  security  schemes  in  May 
2015 with an objective of providing risk cover at minimal cost.  
The Bank offers all three schemes i.e. Pradhan Mantri Jeevan 
Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima 
Yojana  (PMSBY)  and  Atal  Pension  Yojana  (APY)  through  
its branches, business correspondents and digital channels.

The Bank is among the leading Private Sector Banks in PMJJBY 
and PMSBY and is a leader in APY, enrolling a total of 24.5 lakh 
customers in these three social security schemes.

As  on  March  31,  2016,  your  Bank  has  brought  over  one  crore 
households  into  the  banking  fold,  which  were  hitherto  excluded 
from basic banking services. Of these, over 55 lakh households 
are  in  over  5,000  villages  with  a  population  less  than  2,000.  
These have been largely excluded from the formal banking sector.

Your  Bank  firmly  believes  that  financial  literacy  is  the  first  step 
towards  financial  inclusion.  In  order  to  educate  people  who  do 
not  have  access  to  formal  banking  channels  and  bring  them 
within  this  fold,  various  training  programmes  for  customers  
and even intermediaries like Business Correspondents have been  
put in place. 

Dhanchayat and Other Financial Literacy Initiatives 

In  the  period  under  review,  your  Bank  rolled  out  its  programme 
“Dhanchayat:  Financial  Literacy  on  Wheels”.  Dhanchayat  is  an 
educational film to raise awareness on the perils of unorganised 
finance  and  how  the  malpractices  associated  with  it  hurt  the 
dignity  of  the  individual.  Launched  under  the  aegis  of  Swachch 
Banking - the Bank’s CSR initiative for rural India, HDFC Bank-
branded Dhanchayat video vans travelled to villages to educate 
the  rural  populace.  The  initiative  covered  nearly  4,900  villages 
thus benefiting nearly 10 lakh people.

Your  Bank  regularly  undertakes  training  programmes  on  credit 
counselling  and  inculcating  the  savings  habit.  Besides,  it  also 
provides  information  on  asset  creation,  insurance,  and  income 
generation  programmes.  During  the  year  almost  over  1.4 
lakh  financial  awareness  programmes  covering  over  22  lakh 
households were conducted.

As  on  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016,  your  Bank  had  1,025 
branches in rural areas and 1,439 branches in semi urban areas. 

Agriculture and Allied Activities

A large portion of India’s un-banked population relies on agriculture 
as  its  main  source  of  livelihood.  It  is  imperative  that  banks 
replace  the  traditional  unorganized  money  lending  channels  by 
providing transparent credit to farmers through various methods,  
while  simultaneously  enabling  income  generating  activities. 
Your  Bank  provides  various  loans  to  farmers  through  its  suite 
of  specifically  designed  products  such  as  the  Kisan  Gold  Card, 
Tractor and Cattle Loans. In addition, the Bank offers post-harvest 
cash  credit,  warehouse  receipt  financing  and  bill  discounting 
facilities  to  Mandi  (markets  for  grain  and  other  agricultural 
produce)  participants  and  farmers.  These  facilities  enable  the 
Mandi participants to make timely payments to farmers. The Bank 
carries  out  this  business  through  branches  that  are  located  in

close  proximity  to  Mandis.  For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016, 
the  Bank’s  credit  to  agriculture  and  allied  activities  was  about 
`  65,250  crore  as  against  approximately  `  49,085  crore  in  the 
previous year.

The  Bank  targets  specific  sectors  to  capture  supply  chain  of 
certain crops from the production to the sales stages. On the basis 
of these cash flows, your Bank is able to finance specific needs 
of the farmers. This model has currently been implemented with 
sugar,  fruit,  vegetable,  and  tea  crops,  as  well  as  dairy  farmers. 
The  initiative  currently  underway  with  dairy  farmers  includes 
the  appointment  of  dairy  societies  as  business  correspondents, 
through  whom  the  Bank  opens  accounts  of  individual  farmers 
attached to these societies. The societies route payments through 
these accounts.

A  number  of  retail  credit  products  such  as  two-wheeler  loans, 
car  loans,  mortgages  that  are  consumption  products  in  urban 
centres are also means of income generation for rural consumers.  
Apart  from  loans  directly  linked  to  agriculture,  your  Bank  is 
one  of  the  few  to  offer  many  other  credit  products  under  one 
roof  to  aid  financial  betterment  in  rural  locations. Your  Bank  has 
extended  provision  of  its  retail  loans  to  large  segments  of  the 
rural  population,  where  the  end  use  of  the  products  acquired 
(by  availing  Bank  loans)  is  used  for  income  generating  activities.  
For example, loans for tractors, commercial vehicles, two wheelers

Milk-to-Money 

The  use  of  appropriate  technology  is  necessary  to  bring 
about  efficiency  in  the  agri-value  chain,  reducing  the  time 
taken  between  delivery  of  produce  by  the  farmer  to  his  final 
payment.  One  such  innovative  technology  initiative  is  the  
Milk-to-Money  for  dairy  supply  chain.  Under  the  initiative,  your 
Bank  has  deployed  Multifunction Terminals  (MFTs),  also  known 
as  Milk-to-Money  ATMs,  in  dairy  societies  at  the  villages.  
The MFTs link to the milk procurement system of the dairy society  
to  facilitate  payment  of  milk  proceeds  into  farmers’  accounts  on 
payment  day. The  entire  process  is  done  by  the  society  without 
any  intervention  by  the  Bank  at  the  front-end.  MFTs  have 
cash  dispensers  that  function  as  standard  ATMs  enabling  the 
farmer  to  withdraw  the  amount  from  his  account  immediately.

farmers. These centres also enable rural customers to receive 
the direct benefit transfers from the Government in the same 
account.  Apart  from  dairy  and  cattle  loans,  customers  gain 
access to all bank products such as Vehicle Loans, 10 Second 
Personal Loans and Kisan Credit Card. The farmers also avail 
other digital facilities such as Bill Pay, Missed Call Banking and 
Mobile  Recharge. They  are  also  enabled  to  transact  digitally 
with  local  merchants  using  products  like  PayZapp.  This  also 
provides a transacting point for other customers in the village, 
thus creating a complete rural ecosystem.

Loans against Gold Jewellery

Loans  against  gold  jewellery  have  traditionally  been  an 
important source of credit, dominated by the unorganized sector 
and pawn brokers. Banks and other organized institutions have 
expanded their product suite and reach to offer gold loans.

The entry of such players has resulted in increased awareness, 
and at the same time provided greater transparency, substituting 
the money lenders. The availability of the asset and the ease of 
securing a loan has made this a convenient and viable credit 
option. For the year ended March 31, 2016, loans against gold 
jewellery stood at over ` 4,500 crore as against above ` 4,000 
crore as on March 31, 2015.

Small and Micro Enterprises

The  Micro,  Small  and  Medium  Enterprises  (MSME)  segment 
is  a  vital  component  of  the  Indian  economy.  It  contributes  
45  per  cent  to  the  country’s  total  manufacturing  output  
and 30 per cent to exports. Your Bank has been a very active 
participant  in  this  segment  and  in  order  to  engage  better  
with  businesses  of  different  sizes,  the  Bank  has  created 
specialized  verticals.  It  offers  complete  banking  solutions  
to micro, small and medium scale enterprises across industry 
segments including manufacturing, retailing, wholesale, trading 
and  services. The  entire  suite  of  financial  products  including 
Cash  Credit,  Overdrafts,  Term  Loans,  Bill  Discounting, 
Export  Packing  Credit,  Letter  of  Credit,  Bank  Guarantees, 
Cash  Management  Services  and  other  structured  products  
are available to these customers. 

To  drive  the  growth  in  MSME  segment,  your  Bank  organized 
outreach  programmes  for  SME  customers.  The  programmes 
were also used to create awareness among customers about 
the  new  digital  offerings  of  the  Bank  to  improve  efficiencies.  
In  the  year  2015-16,  your  Bank  conducted  27  loan  meets 
across  17  cities  including  Guntur,  Guwahati,  Kanpur,  Kutch, 
Lucknow, Nagpur, Vijayawada, and Visakhapatnam.

The  Bank’s  MFT 
footprint  now  encompasses  Gujarat, 
Maharashtra,  Punjab  and  Rajasthan  with  over  800  
Milk-to-Money  ATMs  and  Micro  ATMs,  servicing  about  2.5  lakh 

The Bank’s advances to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises 
has grown by 35.8 per cent in the year ended  March 31, 2016 
to touch more than ` 74,500 crore from close to ` 55,000 crore

Sustainable Livelihood Initiative (SLI)

SLI  is  a  board  mandated  programme  to  financially  include 
and uplift one crore households at the Bottom of the Pyramid 
through  a  holistic  approach  to  empowering  people  and 
making  a  difference  to  their  lives.  It  entails  occupational 
training, financial literacy, credit counselling, livelihood finance,  
and market linkages.

Over  the  last  six  years,  your  Bank  has  accelerated  its  direct 
linkage  programme  to  people  at  the  Bottom  of  the  Pyramid 
through Self-Help Groups and Joint Liability Groups. The Bank 
engages  with  women  in  villages  to  conduct  financial  literacy  
and credit counselling programmes, form groups, and then funds 
these groups for income generating activities. This enables the 
delivery of viable credit to the rural poor in a sustainable manner 
and  at  the  same  time  inculcates  saving  and  banking  habits.  
As on March 31, 2016, your Bank has covered approximately 
over 55 lakh households in villages spread over 360 districts 
in more than 25 states including Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, 
Meghalaya,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Odisha,  Rajasthan,  Sikkim, 
Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. 

In keeping with your Bank’s commitment to this initiative, SLI  
has about 6,900 dedicated employees, who are trained to identify 
and cater to diverse customer needs. They recognize that villages 
are not homogeneous, but have their unique socio-economic  
and cultural characteristics. This leads to formulation of village 
specific strategies for customer acquisition and retention. Given the 
profile of the clientele, the transactions are often low in value but high  
in volume. 

In  keeping  with  the  Bank’s “GoDigital”  focus,  it  has  leveraged 
technology  to  reduce  transaction  costs  and  enhanced  ease  
of doing business. The “GoDigital” drive has resulted in reduced 
response time in processing customer requests. Lengthy forms 
have  been  shortened  for  greater  convenience  to  customers. 
These initiatives have reduced turnaround time for customers  
by  as  much  as  30  per  cent.  e-KYC  and  Credit  bureau  check 
without PAN have addressed the issue of data validation to a 
great extent. Transaction based on mobile Apps / platforms to 
move villages towards cashless economies are in the offing. 

The  success  of  the  SLI  programme  has  been  validated  
by  various  awards  and  recognitions.  One  such  accolade  has 
come from National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development.  
In  its  annual  publication, ‘The  Status  of  Microfinance  in  India 
2014-15’  the  status  of  micro  finance  initiatives  in  the  country  
is  illustrated  and  gives  a  glimpse  of  interventions  by  various 
banks  across  geographies.  The  publication  serves  as 
a  reference  point  for  people  in  policy  making  functions, 
researchers and others involved in developmental finance. 

A special mention commending the SLI programme of the bank 
has  been  made  in  the  publication.  It  recognizes  that  the  SLI 
model of HDFC Bank may be studied for adoption by other Banks.  
It is interesting to note that SLI is a relatively new model that has 
been in operation since 2010.

Employees  are  encouraged  across  functions  to  continuously 
come up with new ideas and act as digital evangelists.

Innovation 
the  Bank  has  been  driven  by  digitization,  
the building block for which was laid two decades ago by investing 
in technology. Digitization has been a theme for the Bank in the last 
two years and it gained substantial momentum in the year under 
review. The Bank is happy to share that it has a Digital Innovation 
team, perhaps the only such group in the Indian banking context, 
to  scout  for  and  experiment  with  technology  both  contemporary 
and even futuristic. 

Your  Bank  hosted  a  Digital  Innovation  Summit  in  March  2016 
to  tap  into  emerging  technological  trends  that  are  shaping  the 
financial  technology  space.  We  are  happy  to  report  that  five 
companies have been chosen as potential partners in its journey. 
These companies have been drawn from the domains of Artificial 
Intelligence, Marketing, Mobile Payments, Quality Assurance and 
Biometric Payments.

strategy  is  closely  allied  to  its  business  strategy  as  enunciated 
in  the  section  on ‘Mission,  Business  Strategy  and  Approach  to 
Business’. 

The five broad pillars of HDFC Bank’s People strategy are:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Resourcing  and  Staffing:  In  an  industry  where  agility  in 
talent  acquisition  and  deployment  is    key  to  geographic 
expansion  and  growth,  your  Bank  has  leveraged  online 
recruitment along with other channels like job ready model 
to develop reach and quality of hires. It has created a strong 
leadership  pipeline  across  levels  by  identifying  the  right 
talent  internally  and  grooming  them  for  challenging  roles.

well motivated, and trained to deliver value to the customer.

(cid:115)(cid:0) Career  Management:  Your  Bank’s  talent  management 
processes  create  opportunities  for  employees  to  develop 
and  grow.  The  systematic  investment  of  time  in  career 
discussion  with  employees,  competency  assessment, 
and  intensive  functional  and  behavioural  training  through 
the  Gurukul  programmes  sends  a  strong  message  of  the 
Bank’s commitment to employees on career progression.

(cid:115)(cid:0) Employee  Engagement:  The  Bank  has  nurtured  
an enabling performance culture in line with its vision to be a 
“World Class Indian Bank”.  The performance management 
system aligns organization goals with key objectives for each 
business  which  drives  individuals  to  strive  for  excellence.

needs of employees. Activities under this programme include

and  behavioural  training.  The  on-boarding  training

functional and behavioural skills required for the role. The 
product  training  and  advanced  programmes  enable  skill 
development, regular updates and build expertise in staff. 
The training methodology has evolved to application based 
training  to  include  simulations,  case  studies  and  games. 
Today,  over  100  courses  can  be  availed  on  e-learning 
platforms. 

(cid:115)(cid:0) Rewards:  Merit  is  the  driving  force  in  the  organization. 
The distinctive part of the milieu of rewards both financial  
and  non-financial  is  the  objectivity  and  transparency  with 
which it is done. This fair and equitable approach encourages 
staff to give off their best. The compensation policy ensures 
that remuneration is not only competitive but also includes 
wealth  creation  opportunities  through  long  term  rewards 
like ESOPs.  The Bank has a comprehensive compensation 
policy that has been articulated in line with the Reserve Bank  
of India’s guidelines.  The “Star Awards” is an institutionalized 
recognition  programme

(B) Technology Absorption

  Your Bank has been at the forefront of technology absorption. 
Technology has continued to provide business and customers 
with state-of-the-art products and services. Through adoption 
of carefully evaluated technology solutions, the Bank has been 
able to offer an enhanced customer experience at optimal costs. 
This is made possible by using advanced analytics to create 
a  360  degree  view  of  all  3.7  crore  customers. The  analytics 
engine  uses  machine  learning  to  analyse  structured  and 
unstructured data - transactional, behavioural, demographics, 
system  logs,  click  streams,  bureau  data  and  more  -  for 
insights.  This  helps  in  offering  relevant  recommendations 
using  a  mix  of  advanced  algorithms,  behavioural  

micro-segments,  real  time  action  and  event  triggers  built 
on  the  backbone  of  cutting  edge  big  data  technologies.  
These  recommendations  are  served  via  personalised 
campaigns, delivered through an Omni channel approach.

The Bank’s Technology Absorption is illustrated further

Your Bank believes that the Indian economy is expected to grow 
faster  in  2016-17.  The  Bank  is  well  positioned  to  continue  to 
grow faster than the banking system both in retail and wholesale 
segments.  A  good  monsoon  holds  the  key  to  accelerated 
GDP  growth  and  consequently  to  that  of  the  banking  industry.  
Over  the  next  couple  of  years,  the  Bank  will  leverage  on  its 
distribution strength and digital platforms especially in the rural and  
semi-urban  parts  of  the  country  for  a  more  sustained  growth. 
Your Bank will continue its focus on five core values of Customer 
Focus, Operational Excellence, Product Leadership, People and 
Sustainability. Needless to say, your Bank will continue to operate 
with the strongest possible commitment to Corporate Governance. 
All of this will help the Bank on its onward growth journey and help 
create long term shareholder value.

  Diluted  Earnings  Per  Share  (EPS)  pursuant  to  the  issue  of 
shares  on  exercise  of  option  calculated  in  accordance  with 
Accounting Standard (AS) - 20 (Earnings Per Share)

The  diluted  EPS  of  the  Bank  calculated  after  considering  the 
effect of potential equity shares arising on account of exercise 
of options is ` 48.3

  Where 

the  company  has  calculated 

the  employee 
compensation  cost  using  the  intrinsic  value  of  the  stock 
options, the difference between the employee compensation 
cost so computed and the employee compensation cost that 
shall have been recognized if it had used the fair value of the 
options, shall be disclosed. The impact of this difference on 
profits and on EPS of the company shall also be disclosed

  Weighted average exercise prices and weighted average fair 
values  of  options  shall  be  disclosed  separately  for  options 
whose exercise price either equals or exceeds or is less than 
the market price of the stock options

  A description of the method and significant assumptions used 
during  the  year  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  options,  at  the 
time  of  the  grant  including  the  following  weighted  average 
information:

i.   Risk-free interest rate

ii.   Expected life

iii.   Expected volatility

iv.   Expected dividends

v.   The price of the underlying share in the market at the time of 

option grant

vi.  Weighted average market price of Bank’s shares on NSE at 

the time of option grant

Method  used  and  assumptions  made  to  incorporate  effects  of 
expected early exercise

How expected volatility was determined, including explanation of 
the  extent  to  which  expected  volatility  was  based  on  historical 
volatility

Whether  and  how  any  other  features  of  the  option  grant  were 
incorporated  into  the  measurement  of  fair  value,  such  as  a 
market condition

Had  the  Bank  followed  fair  value  method  for  accounting,  the 
stock option compensation expense would have been higher by 
` 1,265.9 crore. Consequently profit after tax would have been 
lower by ` 1,265.9 crore and the basic EPS of the Bank would 
have been ` 43.8 per share (lower by ` 5.0 per share) and the 
diluted EPS would have been  ` 43.3 per share (lower by ` 5.0 
per share)

The weighted average price of the stock options exercised is 
` 563.8 and the weighted average fair value is ` 191.4

The  Securities  and  Exchange  Board  of  India  (SEBI)  has 
prescribed  two  methods  to  account  for  stock  grants;  (i)  the 
intrinsic value method; (ii) the fair value method. The Bank adopts 
the  intrinsic  value  method  to  account  for  the  stock  options  it 
grants to the employees. The Bank also calculates the fair value 
of  options  at  the  time  of  grant,  using  internally  developed  and 
tested model with the following assumptions:

7.71 per cent to 8.07 per cent

1 to 7 years

23.29 per cent to 26.46 per cent

0.73 per cent

The per share market price was ` 1,092.65 and ` 1,097.80 at 
the time of grant of options under ESOS XXV and ESOS XXVI 
respectively.

` 1,091.82 and ` 1,098.11 at the time of grant of options under 
ESOS XXV and ESOS XXVI respectively.

The exercise multiple, which is based on historical data of early 
option exercise decisions of the employees, incorporates early 
exercise effect in the valuation of ESOPs. The exercise multiple 
indicates that option holders tend to exercise their options when 
the  share  price  reaches  a  particular  multiple  of  the  exercise 
price. 

Stock expected volatility is completely based on GARCH volatility 
forecasting model using historical stock prices from the market.

Stock  Price  and  risk  free  interest  rate  are  variables  based  on 
actual market data at the time of ESOP valuation.

6.  In case company has failed to spend the two percent of the average net profit for the last three financial years or any 

part thereof, the reasons for not spending the amount.

  Building upon and scaling up on various interventions initiated in areas prescribed in our CSR policy, we increased our overall 
CSR spend by 64 per cent from ` 118.55 crore last year to ` 194.81 crore this year, i.e. to 1.6 per cent of the average net profit 
for the last three financial years.

  Given the absolute size and the substantial increase in the magnitude of our CSR spend, it was important that we identify appropriate 
implementation partners and further strengthen our resources and systems to ensure that projects are executed effectively and 
have the desired impact. With the strong foundations that we laid towards this end in this year, and the proposed scaling up of a 
number of our CSR  Projects, we believe we have made meaningful progress towards reaching the target in the coming financial 
year. 

7.  A responsibility statement of CSR committee:

  Our CSR activities are guided by the vision and objectives as provided in our CSR Policy. We have also put in place a robust 
monitoring and reporting mechanism to ensure effective implementation of our CSR activities, in line with the requirements of 
Companies Act, 2013.

  A description of our current projects is included in the Directors’ report.

# Promoters are Indian Companies incorporated under the Indian Companies Act 1956 and are controlled by Indian management. Foreign 
shareholding in the principal promoter company exceeds 51 per cent of their paid up share capital and accordingly the shareholding of the 
company in the Bank may be deemed as indirect foreign shareholding in terms of  the extant FDI Policy. The Bank has made a representation 
to the Ministry of Finance stating that the shareholding of the Indian Promoters should not be treated as foreign shareholding. Confirmation 
is awaited from the Ministry of Finance in this regard.

the employees during the FY 2015-16.

Explanation on relationship between average increase in remuneration and the Bank’s performance

The remuneration for Bank employees is governed by an elaborate and comprehensive Compensation Policy that has been 
articulated in alignment with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. The Compensation Policy clearly lays down the principles 
for determining remuneration. 

The Bank’s approach is to have a pay for performance culture based on the belief that the performance management system 
provides a sound basis for assessing performance holistically. The compensation system also takes into account factors like 
roles, skills / competencies, experience and grade / seniority to differentiate pay appropriately on the basis of contribution, skill 
and availability of talent. Further, in line with the philosophy of prudent risk taking, remuneration is subject to adjustment against 
all types of risk. 

The average increase in employee remuneration for the year has been 10.88 per cent. The growth of profit (PBT) during the 
similar period has been 21.6 per cent.

Note:

Includes employees who were eligible for salary increase in the financial year 2014-2015 and 2015-2016

10.  Key Parameters for any variable component of remuneration availed by the Directors

The  variable  pay  for  Directors  is  based  on  a  comprehensive  framework  governed  by  the  compensation  policy  of  the  Bank 
framed in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India Guidelines. The variable remuneration is based on multiple parameters:

Computation of Bonus Pool: 

The Pool for Bonus is computed based on the profitability of the Bank. The bonus pool is computed as a per cent of the surplus 
generated post adjustment for all types of risk as approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board.  
The variable pay for Whole-time Directors too is part of the aforementioned pool.

Directors' Report

Distribution of Variable Pay:

The distribution of Variable Pay is principally performance linked. This is based on a comprehensive evaluation of each of 
the Directors as per the Performance Evaluation Framework. The framework takes into consideration performance against 
set objectives, performance vis-à-vis peer group and adherence to compliance standards. 

Capping and Deferment:

The variable pay of Whole Time Directors is capped at 70 per cent of Fixed Pay. Further in the event variable pay exceeds 50 
per cent of fixed pay, 60 per cent would be paid on immediate approval by the Reserve Bank of India. 40 per cent of the Variable 
Pay will be deferred over a period of 3 years

Malus and Clawback:

In the event there is a deferment of variable pay the deferred portion of variable pay shall be subject to Malus and Clawback 
subject to the terms and conditions as defined in the Compensation policy of the Bank.

Malus: The  Malus  clause  that  governs  variable  pay  is  aimed  at  ensuring  withdrawal  of  the  deferred  bonus  subject  to  the 
performance of the Bank in the future and as decided and approved by Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board.

Clawback: The clawback clause provides for the return of any bonus paid to the Director subject to terms and conditions as 
may be decided and approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board.

11.  The ratio of the remuneration of the highest paid director to that of the employees who are not directors but receive remuneration 

in excess of the highest paid director:  NA

12.   Affirmation that the remuneration is as per the remuneration policy of the company: YES

To the Members of HDFC Bank Limited

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  standalone  financial 
statements  of  HDFC  BANK  LIMITED  (“the  Bank”),  which 
comprise  the  Balance  Sheet  as  at  31st  March,  2016,  the 
Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  and  the  Cash  Flow  Statement 
for  the  year  then  ended,  and  a  summary  of  the  significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial 
Statements 

The  Bank’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  the  matters 
stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies  Act,  2013  (“the  
Act”)  with  respect  to  the  preparation  of  these  standalone  
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial 
position, financial performance and cash flows of the Bank in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 29 of the Banking 
Regulation Act, 1949, accounting principles generally accepted 
in India, including the Accounting Standards prescribed under 
Section 133 of the Act, in so far as applicable to banks, and the 
guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

frauds  and  other 

This  responsibility  also  includes  maintenance  of  adequate 
accounting  records  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the 
Act, for safeguarding the assets of the Bank and for preventing 
and  detecting 
irregularities;  selection 
and  application  of  appropriate  accounting  policies;  making 
judgements  and  estimates  that  are  reasonable  and  prudent; 
and  design,  implementation  and  maintenance  of  adequate 
internal  financial  controls,  that  were  operating  effectively  for 
ensuring  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  the  accounting 
records,  relevant  to  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone 
financial statements based on our audit.

We  have  taken  into  account  the  provisions  of  the  Act,  the 
accounting  and  auditing  standards  and  matters  which  are 
required to be included in the audit report under the provisions 
of the Act and the Rules made thereunder. 

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements 
in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under 
Section  143(10)  of  the  Act.  Those  Standards  require  that 
we  comply  with  ethical  requirements  and  plan  and  perform 
the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the 
financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  
evidence    about    the    amounts    and    the  disclosures  in  the 
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the 
auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of 
material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether 
due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the 
auditor  considers  internal  financial  control  relevant  to  the 
Bank’s  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  that  give  a 
true  and  fair  view  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that 
are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances.  An  audit  also  includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of  the accounting policies used 
and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by 
the Bank’s Directors, and evaluating the overall presentation of 
the financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 
standalone financial statements.

Opinion 

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according 
to  the  explanations  given  to  us,  the  aforesaid  standalone 
financial  statements  give  the  information  required  by  the 
Banking  Regulation  Act,  1949  and  the  Act  in  the  manner  so 
required  and  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in  conformity  with  the 
accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state 
of affairs of the Bank as at 31st March, 2016, and its profit and 
its cash flows for the year ended on that date. 

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 

1.  As required by Section 143(3) of the Act and Section 30 
of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, we report that:

a)  We have sought and obtained all the information and 
explanations which to the best of our knowledge and 
belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

b) 

In  our  opinion,  the  transactions  of  the  Bank  which 
have come to our notice have been within the powers 
of the Bank.

c)  As  explained  in  paragraph  2  below,  the  financial 
accounting systems of the Bank are centralised and, 
therefore, accounting returns are not required to be 
submitted by the Branches.

d) 

In our opinion, proper books of account as required 
by  law  have  been  kept  by  the  Bank  so  far  as  it 
appears from our examination of those books.

e)  The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss, 
and  the  Cash  Flow  Statement  dealt  with  by  this 
Report are in agreement with the books of account.

f) 

In  our  opinion,  the  aforesaid  standalone  financial 
statements  comply  with  the  Accounting  Standards 
prescribed  under  Section  133  of  the  Act,  as 
applicable.

g)  On the basis of the written representations received 
from  the  directors  as  on  31st  March,  2016  taken  
on  record  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  none  of  the  
directors is disqualified as on 31st March, 2016 from 
being  appointed  as  a  director  in  terms  of  Section 
164 (2) of the Act.

h)  With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial 
controls over financial reporting of the Bank and the 
operating effectiveness of such controls, refer to our 
Report  in  “Annexure  A”.  Our  report  expresses  an 
unmodified opinion on the adequacy and operating 
effectiveness of the Bank’s internal financial controls 
over financial reporting.

i)  With  respect  to  the  other  matters  to  be  included  in 
the Auditor’s Report in accordance with Rule 11 of 
the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, in 
our  opinion  and  to  the  best  of  our  information  and 
according to the explanations given to us: 

iii.  There  has  been  no  delay  in  transferring 
amounts,  required  to  be  transferred,  to  the 
Investor Education and Protection Fund by the 
Bank.

2.   We  report  that  during  the  course  of  our  audit  we  have 
performed  select  relevant  procedures  at  54  branches. 
Since  the  Bank  considers  its  key  operations  to  be 
automated,  with  the  key  applications  largely  integrated 
to  the  core  banking  systems,  it  does  not  require  its 
branches,  to  submit  any  financial  returns.  Accordingly 
our audit is carried out centrally at the Head Office and 
Central Processing Units based on the necessary records 
and data required for the purposes of the audit and made 
available to us.

REPORT 

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S 

(Referred to in paragraph 1.h under ‘Report on Other Legal 
and Regulatory Requirements’ of our report of even date)

Report  on  the  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over  Financial 
Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 
of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We  have  audited  the  internal  financial  controls  over  financial 
reporting  of  HDFC  BANK  LIMITED  (“the  Bank”)  as  at  31st 
March,  2016  in  conjunction  with  our  audit  of  the  standalone 
financial statements of the Bank for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The  Bank’s  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and 
maintaining  internal  financial  controls  based  on  the  internal 
control over financial reporting criteria established by the Bank 
considering the essential components of internal control stated 
in  the  Guidance  Note  on  Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls 
Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered 
Accountants  of  India.  These  responsibilities  include  the 
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal 
financial  controls  that  were  operating  effectively  for  ensuring 
the  orderly  and  efficient  conduct  of  its  business,  including 
adherence  to  Bank’s  policies,  the  safeguarding  of  its  assets, 
the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy 
and  completeness  of  the  accounting  records,  and  the  timely 
preparation of reliable financial information, as required under 
the Companies Act, 2013, the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 
and the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Bank’s 
internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our 
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance 
Note  on  Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over  Financial 
Reporting  (the  “Guidance  Note”)  issued  by  the  Institute  of 
Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing 
prescribed  under  Section  143(10)  of  the  Companies  Act, 
2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial 
controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that 
we  comply  with  ethical  requirements  and  plan  and  perform 
the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether 
adequate  internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting 
was established and maintained and if such controls operated 
effectively in all material respects.

the 

the  adequacy  of 

Our  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
evidence  about 
internal  financial 
controls  system  over  financial  reporting  and  their  operating 
effectiveness.  Our  audit  of  internal  financial  controls  over 
financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of 
internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting,  assessing 
the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and 
evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal 
control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected 
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment 
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error.

the 

reporting  and 

reliability  of  financial 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is 
sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit 
opinion  on  the  Bank’s  internal  financial  controls  system  over 
financial reporting.
Meaning  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over  Financial 
Reporting
A  company’s  internal  financial  control  over  financial  reporting 
is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance 
regarding 
the 
preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and 
other  applicable  regulations.  A  company’s  internal  financial 
control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and 
procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records 
that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the 
transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  company;  
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded 
as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and 
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only  in  accordance  with  authorisations  of  management  and 
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorised 
acquisition,  use,  or  disposition  of  the  company’s  assets  that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent  Limitations  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over 
Financial Reporting
Because  of  the  inherent  limitations  of  internal  financial 
controls  over  financial  reporting,  including  the  possibility 
of  collusion  or  improper  management  override  of  controls, 
material  misstatements  due  to  error  or  fraud  may  occur  and 
not  be  detected.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  the 
internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  to  future 
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control 
over  financial  reporting  may  become  inadequate  because  of 
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with 
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In  our  opinion,  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according 
to  the  explanations  given  to  us,  the  Bank  has,  in  all  material 
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over 
financial  reporting  and  such  internal  financial  controls  over 
financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 
2016,  based  on  the  internal  control  over  financial  reporting 
criteria  established  by  the  Bank  considering  the  essential 
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on 
Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over  Financial  Reporting 
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Schedules to the Financials Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2016

SCHEDULE  17  -  Significant  accounting  policies  appended  to  and  forming  part  of  the  financial  statements  for  the  year  

ended March 31, 2016

A 

BACKGROUND

HDFC Bank Limited (‘HDFC Bank’ or ‘the Bank’), incorporated in Mumbai, India is a publicly held banking company engaged 
in providing a range of banking and financial services including retail banking, wholesale banking and treasury operations. 
The Bank is governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and the Companies Act, 2013. The Bank has overseas branch 
operations in Bahrain, Hong Kong and Dubai. The financial accounting systems of the Bank are centralised and, therefore, 
accounting returns are not required to be submitted by branches of the Bank.

B 

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  and  presented  under  the  historical  cost  convention  and  accrual  basis  of 
accounting, unless otherwise stated and are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (‘GAAP’), 
statutory requirements prescribed under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, circulars and guidelines issued by the Reserve 
Bank of India (‘RBI’) from time to time, Accounting Standards (‘AS’) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, 
in so far as they apply to banks and current practices prevailing within the banking industry in India.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions 
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial 
statements and the reported income and expenses for the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used 
in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  
Any revision in the accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments

Classification:

In accordance with the RBI guidelines on investment classification and valuation, investments are classified on the date of 
purchase into “Held for Trading” (‘HFT’), “Available for Sale” (‘AFS’) and “Held to Maturity” (‘HTM’) categories (hereinafter 
called  “categories”).  Subsequent  shifting  amongst  the  categories  is  done  in  accordance  with  the  RBI  guidelines.  
Under each of these categories, investments are further classified under six groups (hereinafter called “groups”) - Government 
Securities,  Other  Approved  Securities,  Shares,  Debentures  and  Bonds,  Investments  in  Subsidiaries  /  Joint Ventures  and 
Other Investments. 

Purchase and sale transactions in securities are recorded under ‘Settlement Date’ of accounting, except in the case of equity 
shares where ‘Trade Date’ accounting is followed.

Basis of classification:

Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified under HFT category.
Investments  which  the  Bank  intends  to  hold  till  maturity  are  classified  as  HTM  securities.  Investments  in  the  equity  of 
subsidiaries  /  joint  ventures  are  categorised  as  HTM  in  accordance  with  the  RBI  guidelines.  Investments  which  are  not 
classified in either of the above categories are classified under AFS category.

Schedules to the Financials Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2016

Short sale:

The  Bank  undertakes  short  sale  transactions  in  Central  Government  dated  securities  in  accordance  with  RBI  guidelines. 
The short position is reflected as the amount received on sale and is classified under ‘Other Liabilities’. The short position is 
marked to market and loss, if any, is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss while gain, if any, is ignored. Profit / Loss on 
settlement of the short position is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Valuation:

Investments classified under AFS and HFT categories are marked to market as per the RBI guidelines. 

Traded investments are valued based on the trades / quotes on the recognised stock exchanges, price list of RBI or prices 
declared by Primary Dealers Association of India (‘PDAI’) jointly with Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association 
(‘FIMMDA’), periodically. 

The  market  value  of  unquoted  government  securities  which  qualify  for  determining  the  Statutory  Liquidity  Ratio  (‘SLR’) 
included in the AFS and HFT categories is computed as per the Yield-to-Maturity (‘YTM’) rates published by FIMMDA. 

The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities (viz. State Government securities, other approved securities, bonds 
and debentures) and preference shares, is done with a mark-up (reflecting associated credit and liquidity risk) over the YTM 
rates for government securities published by FIMMDA.

Special bonds such as oil bonds, fertilizer bonds etc. which are directly issued by Government of India (‘GOI’) that do not 
qualify for SLR are also valued by applying the mark-up above the corresponding yield on GOI securities. 

Unquoted equity shares are valued at the break-up value, if the latest balance sheet is available or at ` 1 as per the RBI 
guidelines. 

Units of mutual funds are valued at the latest repurchase price / net asset value declared by the mutual fund. 

Treasury bills, commercial papers and certificate of deposits being discounted instruments, are valued at carrying cost and 
stated at acquisition cost.

Security receipts are valued as per the net asset value provided by the issuing Asset Reconstruction Company from time to time.

Net depreciation in the value, if any, compared to the acquisition cost, in any of the six groups, is charged to the Statement 
of Profit and Loss. The net appreciation, if any, in any of the six groups is not recognised except to the extent of depreciation 
already  provided. The  valuation  of  investments  includes  securities  under  repo  transactions. The  book  value  of  individual 
securities is not changed after the valuation of investments.

Investments  classified  under  HTM  category  are  carried  at  their  acquisition  cost  and  not  marked  to  market.  Any  premium 
on  acquisition  is  amortised  over  the  remaining  maturity  period  of  the  security  on  a  constant  yield-to-maturity  basis.  
Such amortisation of premium is adjusted against interest income under the head “Income from investments” as per the RBI 
guidelines. Any diminution, other than temporary, in the value of investments in subsidiaries / joint ventures is provided for.

Non-performing  investments  are  identified  and  depreciation  /  provision  are  made  thereon  based  on  the  RBI  guidelines. 
The depreciation / provision on such non-performing investments are not set off against the appreciation in respect of other 
performing  securities.  Interest  on  non-performing  investments  is  not  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  until 
received.

Repo and reverse repo transactions:

In  accordance  with  the  RBI  guidelines  repo  and  reverse  repo  transactions  in  government  securities  and  corporate  debt 
securities (excluding transactions conducted under Liquidity Adjustment Facility (‘LAF’) and Marginal Standby Facility (‘MSF’) 
with RBI) are reflected as borrowing and lending transactions respectively. Borrowing cost on repo transactions is accounted 
for as interest expense and revenue on reverse repo transactions are accounted for as interest income.

In respect of repo transactions under LAF and MSF with RBI, amount borrowed from RBI is credited to investment account 
and reversed on maturity of the transaction. Costs thereon are accounted for as interest expense. In respect of reverse repo 
transactions under LAF, amount lent to RBI is debited to investment account and reversed on maturity of the transaction. 
Revenues thereon are accounted for as interest income.

Advances

Classification:

Advances  are  classified  as  performing  and  non-performing  based  on  the  RBI  guidelines  and  are  stated  net  of  bills 
rediscounted,  specific  provisions,  interest  in  suspense  for  non-performing  advances,  claims  received  from  Export  Credit 
Guarantee Corporation, provisions for funded  interest  term  loan  classified as non-performing  advances  and provisions  in 
lieu of diminution in the fair value of restructured assets. Interest on non-performing advances is transferred to an interest 
suspense account and not recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss until received.

Provisioning:

Specific loan loss provisions in respect of non-performing advances are made based on management’s assessment of the 
degree of impairment of wholesale and retail advances, subject to the minimum provisioning level prescribed by the RBI. 

The specific provision levels for retail non-performing assets are also based on the nature of product and delinquency levels. 
Specific loan loss provisions in respect of non-performing advances are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss and 
included under Provisions and Contingencies.

In  accordance  with  RBI  guidelines,  accelerated  provision  is  made  on  non-performing  advances  which  were  not  earlier 
reported by the Bank as Special Mention Account under “SMA-2” category to Central Repository of Information on Large 
Credits (CRILC). Accelerated provision is also made on non-performing advances which are erstwhile SMA-2 accounts with 
Aggregate Exposure (AE) ` 1,000 million or above and Joint Lenders’ Forum (JLF) is not formed or they fail to agree upon a 
common Corrective Action Plan (CAP) within the stipulated time frame.

Accounts are written-off in accordance with the Bank’s policies. Recoveries from bad debts written-off are recognised in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss and included under other income. 

In relation to non-performing derivative contracts, as per the extant RBI guidelines, the Bank makes provision for the entire 
amount of overdue and future receivables relating to positive marked to market value of the said derivative contracts.

The Bank maintains general provision for standard assets including credit exposures computed as per the current marked 
to market values of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts, and gold in accordance with the guidelines and 
at  levels  stipulated  by  RBI  from  time  to  time.  In  the  case  of  overseas  branches,  general  provision  on  standard  advances 
is  maintained  at  the  higher  of  the  levels  stipulated  by  the  respective  overseas  regulator  or  RBI.  In  accordance  with  RBI 
guidelines, provision is made against standard assets representing all exposures to the wholly owned step down subsidiaries 
of the overseas subsidiaries of Indian companies, sanctioned / renewed after December 31, 2015. Provision for standard 
assets is included under other liabilities.

Provisions made in excess of the Bank’s policy for specific loan loss provisions for non-performing assets and regulatory 
general provisions are categorised as floating provisions. Creation of floating provisions is considered by the Bank up to a 
level approved by the Board of Directors. In accordance with the RBI guidelines, floating provisions are used up to a level 
approved  by  the  Board  only  for  contingencies  under  extraordinary  circumstances  and  for  making  specific  provisions  for 
impaired accounts as per these guidelines or any regulatory guidance / instructions. Floating provisions have been included 
under other liabilities.

Further to the provisions required to be held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for individual 
country  exposures  (other  than  for  home  country  exposure).  Countries  are  categorised  into  risk  categories  as  per  Export 
Credit Guarantee Corporation of India Ltd. (‘ECGC’) guidelines and provisioning is done in respect of that country where the 
net funded exposure is one percent or more of the Bank’s total assets.

In addition to the above, the Bank on a prudential basis makes provisions on advances or exposures which are not NPAs, 
but  has  reasons  to  believe  on  the  basis  of  the  extant  environment  or  specific  information  or  basis  regulatory  guidance 
/  instructions,  the  possible  slippage  of  a  specific  advance  or  a  group  of  advances  or  exposures  or  potential  exposures.  
These are classified as contingent provisions and included under other liabilities.  

The Bank considers a restructured account as one where the Bank, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s 
financial  difficulty,  grants  to  the  borrower  concessions  that  the  Bank  would  not  otherwise  consider.  Restructuring  would 
normally involve modification of terms of the advance / securities, which would generally include, among others, alteration 
of repayment period / repayable amount / the amount of installments / rate of interest (due to reasons other than competitive 
reasons). Restructured accounts are classified as such by the Bank only upon approval and implementation of the restructuring 
package. Necessary provision for diminution in the fair value of a restructured account is made and classification thereof is 
as per the extant RBI guidelines. Restructuring of an account is done at a borrower level.

Securitisation and transfer of assets

The Bank securitises out its receivables, subject to the Minimum Holding Period (‘MHP’) criteria and the Minimum Retention 
Requirements  (‘MRR’)  of  RBI,  to  Special  Purpose  Vehicles  (‘SPVs’)  in  securitisation  transactions.  Such  securitised-out 
receivables are de-recognised in the balance sheet when they are sold (true sale criteria being fully met with) and consideration 
is received by the Bank. Sales / Transfers that do not meet these criteria for surrender of control are accounted for as secured 
borrowings. In respect of receivable pools securitised-out, the Bank provides liquidity and credit enhancements, as specified 
by the rating agencies, in the form of cash collaterals / guarantees and / or by subordination of cash flows, not exceeding 20% 
of the total securitised instruments, in line with RBI guidelines. The Bank also acts as a servicing agent for receivable pools 
securitised-out.

The Bank also enters into transactions for transfer of standard assets through the direct assignment of cash flows, which 
are  similar  to  asset-backed  securitisation  transactions  through  the  SPV  route,  except  that  such  portfolios  of  receivables 
are assigned directly to the purchaser and are not represented by Pass Through Certificates (‘PTCs’), subject to the RBI 
prescribed MHP criteria and the MRR. The RBI issued addendum guidelines on securitisation of standard assets vide its 
circular dated May 7, 2012. Accordingly, the Bank does not provide liquidity or credit enhancements on the direct assignment 
transactions undertaken subsequent to these guidelines.

Pursuant  to  these  guidelines,  the  Bank  amortises  any  profit  received  in  cash  for  every  individual  securitisation  or  direct 
assignment transaction. This amortisation is calculated as the maximum of either of the three parameters stated below:

the direct assignment transaction.

In relation to securitisation transactions undertaken prior to the aforementioned RBI guidelines, including those undertaken 
through the direct assignment route, the Bank continues to amortise the profit / premium that arose on account of sale of 
receivables over the life of the securities sold, in accordance with the RBI guidelines on securitisation of standard assets 
issued vide its circular dated February 1, 2006.

Any loss arising on account of sale of receivables is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period in which the 
sale occurs in accordance with the said RBI guidelines.

The Bank transfers advances through inter-bank participation with and without risk. In accordance with the RBI guidelines, 
in the case of participation with risk, the aggregate amount of the participation issued by the Bank is reduced from advances 
and where the Bank is participating, the aggregate amount of the participation is classified under advances. In the case of 
participation without risk, the aggregate amount of participation issued by the Bank is classified under borrowings and where 
the Bank is participating, the aggregate amount of participation is shown as due from banks under advances.

In accordance with RBI guidelines on sale of non-performing advances, if the sale is at a price below the net book value (i.e., 
book value less provisions held), the shortfall is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the sale is for a value higher 
than the net book value, the excess provision is not reversed but is utilised to meet the shortfall / loss on account of sale of 
other non-performing advances. The RBI issued new guidelines on sale of non-performing advances on February 26, 2014.  
In  accordance  with  these  guidelines,  if  the  sale  of  non-performing  advances  is  at  a  price  below  the  net  book  value,  the 
shortfall is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss spread over a period of two years. If the sale is for a value higher than 
the net book value, the excess provision is credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year the amounts are received.

The Bank invests in PTCs issued by other SPVs. These are accounted for at the deal value and are classified as investments. 
The  Bank  also  buys  loans  through  the  direct  assignment  route  which  are  classified  as  advances.  These  are  carried  at 
acquisition cost unless it is more than the face value, in which case the premium is amortised based on Effective Interest Rate 
(EIR) method.

Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed  assets  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  as  adjusted  for  impairment,  if  any.  Cost  includes  cost  of 
purchase and all expenditure like site preparation, installation costs and professional fees incurred on the asset before it is 
ready to use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on assets put to use is capitalised only when it increases the future benefit / 
functioning capability from / of such assets. 

Depreciation is charged over the estimated useful life of the fixed asset on a straight-line basis. The Bank, pursuant to the 
Companies Act, 2013, has carried out a technical assessment of the useful life of its assets taking into account changes in 
environment, changes in technology, the utility and efficacy of the asset in use. The estimated useful lives of key fixed assets 
are given below:

Impairment of assets

The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Impairment 
loss, if any, is provided in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their estimated 
recoverable amount.

Transactions involving foreign exchange

Foreign currency income and expenditure items of domestic operations are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the 
date of the transaction. Income and expenditure items of integral foreign operations (representative offices) are translated at the 
weekly average closing rates and of non-integral foreign operations (foreign branches) at the monthly average closing rates.

Foreign  currency  monetary  items  of  domestic  and  integral  foreign  operations  are  translated  at  the  closing  exchange  rates 
notified by Foreign Exchange Dealers’ Association of India (‘FEDAI’) as at the Balance Sheet date and the resulting net valuation 
profit or loss arising due to a net open position in any foreign currency is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Both monetary and non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of non-integral foreign operations are translated at 
closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the Balance Sheet date and the resulting profit / loss arising from exchange 
differences are accumulated in the Foreign Currency Translation Account until remittance or the disposal of the net investment 
in the non-integral foreign operations in accordance with AS - 11, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Foreign exchange spot and forward contracts outstanding as at the Balance Sheet date and held for trading, are revalued at 
the closing spot and forward rates respectively as notified by FEDAI and at interpolated rates for contracts of interim maturities.  
The USD-INR rate for valuation of contracts having longer maturities i.e. greater than one year, is implied from MIFOR and 
LIBOR curves. For other currency pairs, the forward points (for rates / tenors not published by FEDAI) are obtained from Reuters 
for valuation of the FX deals. As directed by FEDAI to consider P&L on present value basis, the forward profit or loss on the deals 
are discounted till the valuation date using the discounting yields. The resulting profit or loss on valuation is recognised in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss. Foreign exchange contracts are classified as assets when the fair value is positive (positive marked 
to market value) or as liabilities when the fair value is negative (negative marked to market value).

Foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  not  intended  for  trading,  that  are  entered  into  to  establish  the  amount  of  reporting 
currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction, and are outstanding at the Balance Sheet date, are 
effectively valued at the closing spot rate. The premia or discount arising at the inception of such forward exchange contract 
is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. 

Currency future contracts are marked to market daily using settlement price on a trading day, which is the closing price of

weighted average price of such contract, the final settlement price is taken as the RBI reference rate on the last trading day of 
the future contract or as may be specified by the relevant authority from time to time. All open positions are marked to market 
based on the settlement price and the resultant marked to market profit / loss is daily settled with the exchange.

Contingent  liabilities  on  account  of  foreign  exchange  contracts,  currency  future  contracts,  guarantees,  letters  of  credit, 
acceptances and endorsements are reported at closing rates of exchange notified by FEDAI as at the Balance Sheet date.

Derivative contracts

The Bank recognises all derivative contracts (other than those designated as hedges) at fair value, on the date on which the 
derivative contracts are entered into and are re-measured at fair value as at the Balance Sheet or reporting dates. Derivatives 
are classified as assets when the fair value is positive (positive marked to market value) or as liabilities when the fair value is 
negative (negative marked to market value). Changes in the fair value of derivatives other than those designated as hedges 
are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derivative contracts designated as hedges are not marked to market unless their underlying transaction is marked to market. 
In respect of derivative contracts that are marked to market, changes in the market value are recognised in the Statement of 
Profit and Loss in the relevant period. The Bank identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the transaction 
itself. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of the inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. Gains or losses 
arising from hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Contingent liabilities on account of derivative contracts denominated in foreign currencies are reported at closing rates of 
exchange notified by FEDAI as at the Balance Sheet date.

8 

Revenue recognition

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis, except in the case of non-performing 
assets where it is recognised upon realisation as per RBI norms. 

Interest  income  on  investments  in  PTCs  and  loans  bought  out  through  the  direct  assignment  route  is  recognised  at  their 
effective interest rate.

Income on non-coupon bearing discounted instruments is recognised over the tenor of the instrument on a constant effective 
yield basis.

Loan processing fee is recognised as income when due.  Syndication / Arranger fee is recognised as income when a significant 
act / milestone is completed.

Gain / loss on sell down of loans is recognised in line with the extant RBI guidelines.

Dividend on equity shares, preference shares and on mutual fund units is recognised as income when the right to receive the 
dividend is established.

Guarantee commission, commission on letter of credit, annual locker rent fees and annual fees for credit cards are recognised 
on a straight-line basis over the period of contract. Other fees and commission income are recognised when due, except in 
cases where the Bank is uncertain of ultimate collection.

Employee benefits

Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS’):

The Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘the Scheme’) provides for the grant of options to acquire equity shares of the Bank 
to its employees. The options granted to employees vest in a graded manner and these may be exercised by the employees 
within a specified period. 

The Bank follows the intrinsic value method to account for its stock-based employee compensation plans. Compensation cost 
is measured by the excess, if any, of the market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price as determined under the 
option plan. The market price is the closing price on the stock exchange where there is highest trading volume on the working 
day immediately preceding the date of grant. Compensation cost, if any is amortised over the vesting period.

Gratuity:

The Bank provides for gratuity to all employees. The benefit vests upon completion of five years of service and is in the form 
of lump sum payment to employees on resignation, retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment 
of an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each completed year of service. The Bank makes contributions to 
funds administered by trustees and managed by insurance companies for amounts notified by the said insurance companies. 
In respect of erstwhile Lord Krishna Bank (‘eLKB’) employees, the Bank makes contribution to a fund set up by eLKB and 
administered by the Board of Trustees. 

The defined gratuity benefit plans are valued by an independent actuary as at the Balance Sheet date using the projected 
unit credit method as per the requirement of AS-15, Employee Benefits, to determine the present value of the defined benefit 
obligation  and  the  related  service  costs.  Under  this  method,  the  determination  is  based  on  actuarial  calculations,  which 
include  assumptions  about  demographics,  early  retirement,  salary  increases  and  interest  rates.  Actuarial  gain  or  loss  is 
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Superannuation:

Employees of the Bank, above a prescribed grade, are entitled to receive retirement benefits under the Bank’s Superannuation 
Fund. The Bank contributes a sum equivalent to 13% of the employee’s eligible annual basic salary (15% for the whole time 
directors and for certain eligible erstwhile Centurion Bank of Punjab (‘eCBoP’) staff) to insurance companies, which administer 
the fund. The Bank has no liability for future superannuation fund benefits other than its contribution, and recognises such 
contributions as an expense in the year incurred, as such contribution is in the nature of defined contribution.

Provident fund:

In  accordance  with  law,  all  employees  of  the  Bank  are  entitled  to  receive  benefits  under  the  provident  fund.  The  Bank 
contributes an amount, on a monthly basis, at a determined rate (currently 12% of employee’s basic salary). Of this, the Bank 
contributes an amount equal to 8.33% of employee’s basic salary up to a maximum salary level of `15,000/- per month, to the 
Pension Scheme administered by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (‘RPFC’). The balance amount is contributed 
to  a  fund  set  up  by  the  Bank  and  administered  by  a  Board  of Trustees.  In  respect  of  eCBoP  employees,  employer’s  and 
employee’s share of contribution to Provident Fund till March 2009, was administered by RPFC and from April 2009 onwards, 
the  same  is  transferred  to  the  fund  set  up  by  the  Bank  and  administered  by  the  Board  of Trustees.  In  respect  of  eLKB 
employees, the Bank contributes to a fund set up by eLKB and administered by a Board of Trustees. The Bank recognises 
such contributions as an expense in the year in which it is incurred. Interest payable to the members of the trust shall not 
be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central Government under the Employees Provident Funds and 
Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, shall be made good by the Bank. 

The guidance note on implementing AS-15, Employee Benefits, states that benefits involving employer established provident 
funds, which require interest shortfalls to be provided, are to be considered as defined benefit plans. Actuarial valuation of 
this Provident Fund interest shortfall is done as per the guidance note issued in this respect by The Institute of Actuaries of 
India (IAI) and provision towards this liability is made.

The  overseas  branches  of  the  Bank  makes  contribution  to  the  respective  relevant  government  scheme  calculated  as  a 
percentage of the employees’ salaries. The Bank’s obligations are limited to these contributions, which are expensed when 
due, as such contribution is in the nature of defined contribution.

Leave encashment / Compensated absences:

The Bank does not have a policy of encashing unavailed leave for its employees, except for certain eLKB employees under 
Indian Banks’ Association (‘IBA’) structure. The Bank provides for leave encashment / compensated absences based on an 
independent actuarial valuation at the Balance Sheet date, which includes assumptions about demographics, early retirement, 
salary increases, interest rates and leave utilisation.

Pension:

In respect of pension payable to certain eLKB employees under IBA structure, which is a defined benefit scheme, the Bank 
contributes 10% of basic salary to a pension fund set up by the Bank and administered by the Board of Trustees and the 
balance amount is provided based on actuarial valuation as at the Balance Sheet date conducted by an independent actuary.

In respect of certain eLKB employees who had moved to a Cost to Company (‘CTC’) driven compensation structure and 
had completed less than 15 years of service, the contribution which was made until then, is maintained as a fund and will be 
converted into annuity on separation after a lock-in-period of two years. For this category of employees, liability stands frozen 
and no additional provision is required except for interest as applicable to Provident Fund, which is provided for.

In respect of certain eLKB employees who moved to a CTC structure and had completed service of more than 15 years, 
pension would be paid on separation based on salary applicable as on the date of movement to CTC structure. Provision 
thereto is made based on actuarial valuation as at the Balance Sheet date conducted by an independent actuary.

10 

Debit and credit cards reward points

The Bank estimates the probable redemption of debit and credit card reward points and cost per point using an actuarial 
method  by  employing  an  independent  actuary,  which  includes  assumptions  such  as  mortality,  redemption  and  spends. 
Provisions  for  liabilities  on  said  reward  points  are  made  based  on  the  actuarial  valuation  report  as  furnished  by  the  said 
independent actuary and included in other liabilities.

11 

Bullion

The Bank imports bullion including precious metal bars on a consignment basis for selling to its wholesale and retail customers. 
The imports are typically on a back-to-back basis and are priced to the customer based on an estimated price quoted by the 
supplier. The Bank earns a fee on such wholesale bullion transactions. The fee is classified under commission income. 

The Bank also sells bullion to its retail customers. The difference between the sale price to customers and actual price paid 
to the supplier is recorded under commission income.

The Bank also deals in bullion on a borrowing and lending basis and the interest paid / received thereon is classified as 
interest expense / income respectively.

12 

Lease accounting

Lease payments including cost escalation for assets taken on operating lease are recognised in the Statement of Profit and 
Loss over the lease term on a straight-line basis in accordance with the AS-19, Leases. 

13 

Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current tax provision (i.e. the amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with the 
Income Tax Act, 1961, the rules framed there under and considering the material principles set out in Income Computation 
and Disclosure Standards) and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are recognised for the future tax consequences of timing differences between the carrying values of assets and 
liabilities  and  their  respective  tax  bases,  and  operating  loss  carried  forward,  if  any.  Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are 
measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates as at the Balance Sheet date. 

Current tax assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities are off-set when they relate to income taxes levied by 
the same taxation authority, when the Bank has a legal right to off-set and when the Bank intends to settle on a net basis.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future. 
In case of unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if 
there  is  virtual  certainty  of  realisation  of  such  assets.  Deferred  tax  assets  are  reviewed  at  each  Balance  Sheet  date  and 
appropriately adjusted to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain to be realised.

  14  Earnings per share

The Bank reports basic and diluted earnings per equity share in accordance with AS-20, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings 
per equity share has been computed by dividing net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted 
average number of equity shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could 
occur if securities or other contracts to issue equity shares were exercised or converted to equity during the year. Diluted 
earnings per equity share are computed using the weighted average number of equity shares and the dilutive potential equity 
shares outstanding during the period except where the results are anti-dilutive. 

15 

Share issue expenses

Share issue expenses are adjusted from Share Premium Account in terms of Section 52 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Segment information 

The disclosure relating to segment information is in accordance with AS-17, Segment Reporting and as per guidelines issued 
by RBI.

Accounting for provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

In accordance with AS-29, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Bank recognises provisions when it 
has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits 
will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. 

Provisions  are  determined  based  on  management  estimate  required  to  settle  the  obligation  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date, 
supplemented by experience of similar transactions. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect 
the current management estimates. 

A disclosure of contingent liability is made when there is:

Contingent assets, if any, are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that 
may never be realised.

Onerous contracts

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Bank from a contract are 
lower  than  the  unavoidable  costs  of  meeting  the  future  obligations  under  the  contract. The  provision  is  measured  at  the 
present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the 
contract.  Before  a  provision  is  established,  the  Bank  recognises  any  impairment  loss  on  the  assets  associated  with  that 
contract.

Basic earnings per equity share have been computed by dividing net profit for the year attributable to the equity shareholders 
by  the  weighted  average  number  of  equity  shares  outstanding  for  the  year.  Diluted  earnings  per  equity  share  have  been 
computed  by  dividing  the  net  profit  for  the  year  attributable  to  the  equity  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number 
of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the results are anti-dilutive.  
The dilutive impact is on account of stock options granted to employees by the Bank. There is no impact of dilution on the profits 
in the current year and previous year.

Fair value methodology

The  fair  value  of  options  used  to  compute  proforma  net  income  and  earnings  per  equity  share  have  been  estimated  on 
the  dates  of  each  grant  using  the  binomial  option-pricing  model. The  Bank  estimates  the  volatility  based  on  the  historical 
share  prices.  4,48,36,200  options  were  granted  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016  (previous  year:  4,16,59,000).  
The various assumptions considered in the pricing model for the ESOPs granted during the years ended March 31, 2016 and  
March 31, 2015 were:

prepared at the time of origination and review of a credit is required to discuss the exchange risk that the customer is 
exposed to from all sources, including trade related, foreign currency borrowings and external commercial borrowings. 
It could cover the natural hedge available to the customer as well as other hedging methods adopted by the customer 
to mitigate exchange risk. For foreign currency loans granted by the Bank beyond a defined threshold the customer will 
be encouraged to enter into appropriate risk hedging mechanisms with the Bank. Alternatively, the Bank will satisfy itself 
that the customer has the financial capacity to bear the exchange risk in the normal course of its business and / or has 
other mitigants to reduce the risk. On a monthly basis, the Bank reviews information on the unhedged portion of foreign 
currency exposures of customers, whose total foreign currency exposure with the Bank exceeds a defined threshold. 
Based  on  the  monthly  review,  the  Bank  proposes  suitable  hedging  techniques  to  the  customer  to  contain  the  risk.  
A Board approved credit risk rating linked limit on unhedged foreign currency position of customers is applicable when 
extending credit facilities to a customer. The compliance with the limit is assessed by estimating the extent of drop in a 
customer’s annual EBID due to a potentially large adverse movement in exchange rate impacting the unhedged foreign 
currency exposure of the customer. Where a breach is observed in such a simulation, the customer is advised to reduce 
its unhedged exposure.

Derivatives  are  financial  instruments  whose  characteristics  are  derived  from  underlying  assets,  or  from  interest  and 
exchange  rates  or  indices.  These  include  forwards,  swaps,  futures  and  options.  The  notional  amounts  of  financial 
instruments  such  as  foreign  exchange  contracts  and  derivatives  provide  a  basis  for  comparison  with  instruments 
recognised on the Balance Sheet but do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current 
fair value of the instruments and, therefore, do not indicate the Bank’s exposure to credit or price risks. The following 
sections outline the nature and terms of the derivative transactions generally undertaken by the Bank.

Interest rate contracts

Forward rate agreements give the buyer the ability to determine the underlying rate of interest for a specified period 
commencing on a specified future date (the settlement date). There is no exchange of principal and settlement is effected 
on the settlement date. The settlement amount is the difference between the contracted rate and the market rate prevailing 
on the settlement date.

Interest  rate  swaps  involve  the  exchange  of  interest  obligations  with  the  counterparty  for  a  specified  period  without 
exchanging the underlying (or notional) principal.

Interest rate caps and floors give the buyer the ability to fix the maximum or minimum rate of interest. The writer of 
the contract pays the amount by which the market rate exceeds or is less than the cap rate or the floor rate respectively.  
A combination of interest rate caps and floors is known as an interest rate collar. 

Interest rate futures are standardised interest rate derivative contracts traded on a recognised stock exchange to buy 
or sell a notional security or any other interest bearing instrument or an index of such instruments or interest rates at a 
specified future date, at a price determined at the time of the contract.

Exchange rate contracts

Forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  are  agreements  to  buy  or  sell  fixed  amounts  of  currency  at  agreed  rates  of 
exchange on future date. All such instruments are carried at fair value, determined based on either FEDAI rates or on 
market quotations.

Cross  currency  swaps  are  agreements  to  exchange  principal  amounts  denominated  in  different  currencies.  Cross 
currency swaps may also involve the exchange of interest payments on one specified currency for interest payments in 
another specified currency for a specified period.

Currency  options  give  the  buyer,  on  payment  of  a  premium,  the  right  but  not  an  obligation,  to  buy  or  sell  specified 
amounts of currency at agreed rates of exchange on or before a specified future date. Option premia paid or received is 
recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss for rupee options at the expiry of the option and for foreign currency options on 
premium settlement date.

Currency futures contract is a standardised contract traded on an exchange, to buy or sell a certain underlying asset or 
an instrument at a certain date in the future, at a specified price. The underlying instrument of a currency future contract 
is the rate of exchange between one unit of foreign currency and the INR.

The  Bank’s  derivative  transactions  relate  to  sales  and  trading  activities.  Sale  activities  include  the  structuring  and 
marketing of derivatives to customers to enable them to hedge their market risks (both interest rate and exchange risks), 
within the framework of regulations as may apply from time to time. The Bank deals in derivatives on its own account 
(trading activity) principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short term fluctuations in price or yields. The Bank 
also deals in derivatives to hedge the risk embedded in some of its Balance Sheet assets and liabilities.

Constituents involved in derivative business

The Treasury  front-office  enters  into  derivative  transactions  with  customers  and  inter-bank  counterparties. The  Bank 
has  an  independent  back-office  and  mid-office  as  per  regulatory  guidelines. The  Bank  has  a  credit  and  market  risk 
department that assesses various counterparty risk and market risk limits, within the risk architecture and processes of 
the Bank.

Derivative policy

The Bank has in place a policy which covers various aspects that apply to the functioning of the derivative business. 
The  derivative  business  is  administered  by  various  market  risk  limits  such  as  position  limits,  tenor  limits,  sensitivity 
limits and value-at-risk limits that are approved by the Board and the Risk Policy and Monitoring Committee (‘RPMC’).  
All methodologies used to assess credit and market risks for derivative transactions are specified by the market risk unit. 
Limits are monitored on a daily basis by the mid-office. 

The Bank has implemented a Board approved policy on Customer Suitability & Appropriateness to ensure that derivative 
transactions entered into are appropriate and suitable to the customer’s nature of business / operations. Before entering 
into a derivative deal with a customer, the Bank scores the customer on various risk parameters and based on the overall 
score level it determines the kind of product that best suits its risk appetite and the customer’s requirements.

Classification of derivatives book

The derivative book is classified into trading and hedging book. Classification of the derivative book is made on the basis 
of the definitions of the trading and hedging books specified in the RBI guidelines. The trading book is managed within 
the trading limits approved by the RPMC.

Hedging policy

For derivative contracts designated as hedge the Bank documents, at inception, the relationship between the hedging 
instrument and the hedged item, the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge and the methods used to 
assess the hedge effectiveness. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of inception of the hedge and periodically 
thereafter. Hedge effectiveness is measured by the degree to which changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged 
item that are attributable to a hedged risk are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument.

The hedging book consists of transactions to hedge Balance Sheet assets or liabilities. The tenor of hedging instrument 
may be less than or equal to the tenor of underlying hedged asset or liability. Derivative contracts designated as hedges 
are not marked to market unless their underlying asset or liability is marked to market. In respect of derivative contracts 
that are marked to market, changes in the market value are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the relevant 
period. Gain or losses arising from hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. 
Foreign exchange forward contracts not intended for trading, that are entered into to establish the amount of reporting 
currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction, and are outstanding at the Balance Sheet date, 
are effectively valued at the closing spot rate. The premia or discount arising at the inception of such forward exchange 
contract is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract.

The Bank enters into derivative transactions with counter parties based on their business ranking and financial position. 
The Bank sets up appropriate limits upon evaluating the ability of the counterparty to honour its obligations in the event 
of crystallisation of the exposure. Appropriate credit covenants are stipulated where required as trigger events to call for 
collaterals or terminate a transaction and contain the risk.

The Bank, at the minimum, conforms to the RBI guidelines with regard to provisioning requirements. Overdue receivables 
representing  crystallised  positive  mark-to-market  value  of  a  derivative  contract  are  transferred  to  the  account  of  the 
borrower and treated as non-performing assets, if these remain unpaid for 90 days or more. Full provision is made for the 
entire amount of overdue and future receivables relating to positive marked to market value of non-performing derivative 
contracts.

The notional principal amount of foreign exchange contracts classified as hedging and trading outstanding as on 
March 31, 2016 amounted to ` 23,182.85 crore (previous year: ` 21,868.96 crore) and ` 505,892.93 crore (previous 
year: ` 652,183.13 crore) respectively.

The notional principal amounts of derivatives reflect the volume of transactions outstanding as at the Balance Sheet 
date and do not represent the amounts at risk.

For the purpose of this disclosure, currency derivatives include currency options purchased and sold and cross 
currency interest rate swaps.

Interest rate derivatives include interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements and interest rate caps.

The Bank has computed the maximum and minimum of PV01 for the year based on the balances as at the end of 
every month.

In  respect  of  derivative  contracts,  the  Bank  evaluates  the  credit  exposure  arising  therefrom,  in  line  with  RBI 
guidelines. Credit exposure has been computed using the current exposure method which is the sum of:

(a)  

the current replacement cost (marked to market value including accruals) of the contract or zero whichever is 
higher; and 

(b)  

the Potential Future Exposure (PFE) is a product of the notional principal amount of the contract and a factor 
that is based on the grid of credit conversion factors prescribed in RBI guidelines, which is applied on the 
basis of the residual maturity and the type of contract.

future date at the contracted rate. Currency swaps are commitments to exchange cash flows by 
way of interest / principal in one currency against another, based on predetermined rates. Interest 
rate swaps are commitments to exchange fixed and floating interest rate cash flows. The notional 
amounts  of  financial  instruments  such  as  foreign  exchange  contracts  and  derivatives  provide  a 
basis for comparison with instruments recognised on the Balance Sheet but do not necessarily 
indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current fair value of the instruments and, 
therefore, do not indicate the Bank’s exposure to credit or price risks. The derivative instruments 
become favorable (assets) or unfavorable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market rates or 
prices relative to their terms. 

Guarantees given on 
behalf of constituents, 
acceptances,  
endorsements and  
other obligations

As a part of its commercial banking activities, the Bank issues documentary credit and guarantees 
on  behalf  of  its  customers.  Documentary  credits  such  as  letters  of  credit  enhance  the  credit 
standing of the Bank’s customers. Guarantees generally represent irrevocable assurances that the 
Bank will make payments in the event of the customer failing to fulfill its financial or performance 
obligations.

Other items for which the 
Bank is contingently liable

These include: a) Credit enhancements in respect of securitised-out loans; b) Bills rediscounted by 
the Bank; c) Capital commitments; d) Underwriting commitments.

Information relating to the bodies that oversee remuneration

Name and composition 

The Board of Directors of the Bank has constituted the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (hereinafter, the ‘NRC’) 
for overseeing and governing the compensation policies of the Bank. The NRC is comprised of four independent directors 
and is chaired by the Board of Directors of the Bank. Further, two members of the NRC are also members of the Risk 
Policy and Monitoring Committee (hereinafter, the ‘RPMC’) of the Board. 

The  NRC  is  comprised  of  the  Chairperson,  Mrs.  Shyamala  Gopinath,  Mr.  A  N  Roy,  Mr.  Partho  Datta  and  Mr.  Bobby 
Parikh. Further, Mrs. Shyamala Gopinath and Mr. Partho Dutta are also members of the RPMC. Mr. Bobby Parikh is the 
chairperson of the NRC.

Mandate of the NRC

The primary mandate of the NRC is to oversee the implementation of compensation policies of the Bank.

The NRC periodically reviews the overall compensation policy of the Bank with a view to attract, retain and motivate 
employees. In this capacity it is required to review and approve the design of the total compensation framework, including 
compensation strategy programs and plans, on behalf of the Board of Directors. The compensation structure and pay 
revision for Whole Time Directors is also approved by the NRC. The NRC co-ordinates with the RPMC to ensure that 
compensation is aligned with prudent risk taking.

For the year ended March 31, 2016

The  Bank’s  Compensation  Policy  (the  ‘Policy’)  is  aligned  to  business  strategy,  market  dynamics,  internal 
characteristics  and  complexities  within  the  Bank.  The  ultimate  objective  of  the  Policy  is  to  provide  a  fair  and 
transparent structure that helps in acquiring and retaining the talent pool critical to build competitive advantage and 
brand equity. The Policy has been designed basis the principles for sound compensation practices in accordance 
with regulatory requirements and provides a framework to create, modify and maintain appropriate compensation 
programs and processes with adequate supervision and control. 

The  Bank’s  performance  management  system  provides  a  sound  basis  for  assessing  employee  performance 
holistically.  The  Bank’s  compensation  framework  is  aligned  with  the  performance  management  system  and 
differentiates pay appropriately amongst its employees based on degree of contribution, skill and availability of talent 
owing to competitive market forces by taking into account factors such as role, skills, competencies, experience and 
grade / seniority.

The NRC reviews the following critical principles enunciated in the policy and ensures that:

(a) 

the compensation is adjusted for all types of prudent risk taking; 

(b) 

compensation outcomes are symmetric with risk outcomes;

(c) 

compensation payouts are sensitive to the time horizon of risk; and 

(d) 

the mix of cash, equity and other forms of compensation are aligned with risk. 

II. 

Design and Structure of Remuneration

a) 

Fixed Pay

The NRC ensures that the fixed component of the compensation is reasonable, taking into account all relevant 
factors including industry practice. 

Elements of Fixed Pay

The fixed pay component of the Bank’s compensation structure typically consists of elements such as base 
salary, allowances, perquisites, retirement and other employee benefits. Perquisites extended are in the nature 
of company car, hard furnishing, company leased accommodation, club membership and such other benefits 
or allowances in lieu of such perquisites / benefits. Retirement benefits include contributions to provident fund, 
superannuation fund (for certain job bands) and gratuity. The Whole Time Directors of the Bank are entitled 
to  other  post-retirement  benefits  such  as  car  and  medical  facilities,  in  accordance  with  specified  terms  of 
employment as per the policy of the Bank, subject to RBI approval. The Bank also provides pension to certain 
employees of the erstwhile Lord Krishna Bank (eLKB) under the Indian Banks’ Association (‘IBA’) structure.

Determinants of Fixed Pay

The  fixed  pay  is  primarily  determined  by  taking  into  account  factors  such  as  the  job  size,  performance, 
experience, location, market competitiveness of pay and is designed to meet the following key objectives of:

(a) 

fair compensation given the role complexity and size;

(b) 

fair compensation given the individual’s skill, competence, experience and market pay position; 

(c) 

sufficient contribution to post retirement benefits; and

(d) 

compliance with all statutory obligations.

For the year ended March 31, 2016

For Whole Time Directors additional dimensions such as prominence of leadership among industry leaders, 
consistency of the Bank’s performance over the years on key parameters such as profitability, growth and 
asset  quality  in  relation  to  its  own  past  performance  and  that  of  its  peer  banks  would  be  considered. The 
quantum of fixed pay for Whole Time Directors is approved by the NRC as well as the Board and is subject to 
the approval of the RBI.

The  performance  management  system  forms  the  basis  for  variable  pay  allocation  of  the  Bank. The  Bank 
ensures that the performance management system is comprehensive and considers both, quantitative and 
qualitative performance measures. 

Whole Time Directors

The bonus for Whole Time Directors will not exceed 70% of the fixed pay in a year, thereby ensuring that there 
is a balance between the fixed and variable pays. The variable pay for Whole Time Directors is approved by 
the NRC as well as the Board and is subject to the approval of the RBI. The variable pay component is paid 
out subject to the following conditions:

contributions of the Bank and / or relevant line of business in any year. Under the malus clause the 
incumbent foregoes the vesting of the deferred variable pay in full or in part. Under the claw back clause 
the incumbent is obligated to return all the tranches of payout received of bonus amounts pertaining to 
the relevant performance year. 

Employees other than Whole Time Directors

The Bank has formulated the following variable pay plans:

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:33)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:0)

The  quantum  of  variable  payout  is  a  function  of  the  performance  of  the  Bank,  performance  of  the 
business  unit,  performance  of  the  individual  employee,  job  band  of  the  employee  and  the  functional 
category.  Basis  these  key  determinants  and  due  adjustment  for  risk  alignment,  a  payout  matrix  for 
variable  pay  is  developed.  Market  trends  for  specific  businesses  /  functions  along  with  inputs  from 
compensation surveys may also be used in finalising the payout. 

Bonus pools are designed to meet specific business needs therefore resulting in differentiation in both 
the quantum and the method of payout across functions. Typically higher levels of responsibility receive 
a higher proportion of variable pay vis-à-vis fixed pay. The Bank ensures that the time horizon for risk is 
assessed and the deferment period, if any, for bonus is set accordingly. Employees on the annual bonus 
plan are not part of performance-linked plans. The following is taken into account while administering 
the annual bonus:

For the year ended March 31, 2016

(cid:57) 

(cid:57) 

In the event the proportion of variable pay to fixed pay is substantially high (variable pay exceeding 
50%  of  fixed  pay),  the  Bank  may  devise  an  appropriate  deferment  schedule  after  taking  into 
consideration the nature of risk, time horizon of risk, and the materiality of risk.

In cases of deferment of variable pay the Bank makes an assessment prior to the due date for 
payment of the deferred portion for any negative contribution. The criteria for negative contribution 
are decided basis pre-defined financial benchmarks. The Bank has in place appropriate methods 
for  prevention  of  vesting  of  deferred  variable  pay  or  any  part  thereof,  on  account  of  negative 
contribution. The Bank also has in place claw back arrangements in relation to amounts already 
paid in the eventuality of a negative contribution.

(cid:48)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:13)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:75)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:48)(cid:44)(cid:48)(cid:83)(cid:9)(cid:0)

PLPs are formulated for sales personnel who are given sales targets but have limited impact on risk 
since credit decisions are exercised independent of the sales function. All PLP payouts are based on a 
balanced scorecard framework and are subject to achievement of individual targets enumerated in the 
respective scorecards of the employees. A portion of the PLP payouts is deferred till the end of the year 
to provide for any unforeseen performance risks.

The Compensation Policy of the Bank was reviewed by the NRC. The Bank has appointed Ernst and 
Young a globally reputed consulting firm to assess the compensation policy of the Bank in light of best 
in class practices. The study is currently underway.

c)  Guaranteed Bonus

Guaranteed Bonuses may not be consistent with sound risk management or pay for performance principles 
of the Bank and therefore do not form an integral part of the general compensation practice. 

For critical hiring for some select strategic roles, the Bank may consider granting of a sign-on bonus as a 
prudent way to avoid loading the entire cost of attraction into the fixed component of the compensation which 
could have a long term cost implication for the Bank. For such hiring, the sign-on bonus is generally decided 
by taking into account appropriate risk factors and market conditions. 

For hiring at levels of Whole Time Directors / Managing Director a sign-on bonus, if any, is limited to the first 
year only and is in the form of Employee Stock Options.

d)  Employee Stock Option Plan (‘ESOP’s)

The  Bank  considers  ESOPs  as  a  vehicle  to  create  a  balance  between  short  term  rewards  and  long  term 
sustainable value creation. ESOPs play a key role in the attraction and retention of key talent. The Bank grants 
equity share options to its Whole Time Directors and other employees above a certain grade. Options are also 
granted to employees in the talent pool across all levels. All plans for grant of options are framed in accordance 
with the SEBI guidelines, 1999 as amended from time to time and are approved by the shareholders of the 
Bank. These plans provide for the grant of options post approval by the NRC.

The  grant  of  options  is  reviewed  and  approved  by  the  NRC. The  number  of  options  granted  varies  at  the 
discretion of the NRC after considering parameters such as the incumbent’s grade and performance rating, 
and such other appropriate relevant factors as may be deemed appropriate by the NRC. Equity share options 
granted to the Whole Time Directors are subject to the approval of the NRC, the Board and the RBI. 

e) 

Severance Pay

The Bank does not grant severance pay other than accrued benefits (such as gratuity, pension) except in 
cases where it is mandated by any statute.

f) 

Hedging

The Bank does not provide any facility or fund or permit its Whole Time Directors and employees to insure 
or hedge their compensation structure to offset the risk alignment effects embedded in their compensation 
arrangement. 

III.  Remuneration Processes

Fitment at the time of Hire

Pay  ranges  of  the  Bank  are  set  basis  the  job  size,  experience,  location  and  the  academic  and  professional 
credentials of the incumbent. 

The compensation of new hires is in line with the existing pay ranges and consistent with the compensation levels 
of  the  existing  employees  of  the  Bank  at  similar  profiles.  The  pay  ranges  are  subject  to  change  basis  market 
trends and the Bank’s talent management priorities. While the Bank believes in the internal equity and parity as a 
key determinant of pay it does acknowledge the external competitive pressures of the talent market. Accordingly, 
there could be certain key profiles with critical competencies which may be hired at a premium and treated as an 
exception to the overall pay philosophy. Any deviation from the defined pay ranges is treated as a hiring exception 
requiring approval with appropriate justification.

(cid:41)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:15)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:65)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:50)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)

It is the endeavor of the Bank to ensure external competitiveness as well as internal equity without diluting the overall 
focus on optimising cost. In order to enhance our external competitiveness the Bank participates in an annual salary 
survey of the banking sector to understand key market trends as well as get insights on relative market pay position 
compared to peers. The Bank endeavors to ensure that most employees progress to the median of the market in terms 
of fixed pay over time. This coupled with key internal data indicators like performance score, job family, experience, job 
grade and salary budget form the basis of decision making on revisions in fixed pay. 

Increments in fixed pay for majority of the employee population are generally undertaken effective April 1 every 
year. However promotions, confirmations and change in job dimensions could also lead to a change in the fixed pay 
during other times of the year.

The Bank also makes salary corrections and adjustments during the year for those employees whose compensation 
is found to be below the market pay and who have a good performance track record. However such pay revisions 
are done on an exception basis.

Risk, Control and Compliance Staff

The Bank has separated the Risk, Control and Compliance functions from the Business functions in order to create 
a strong culture of checks and balances thereby ensuring good asset quality and to eliminate any possible conflict 
of interest between revenue generation and risk management and control. Accordingly, the overall variable pay as 
well as the annual salary increment of the employees in the Risk, Control and Compliance functions is based on 
their performance, functional objectives and goals. The Bank ensures that the mix of fixed to variable compensation 
for these functions is weighted in favour of fixed compensation.

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

An overview of the key risks that the Bank takes into account when implementing remuneration measures.

The Bank takes into account all types of risks in its remuneration processes. The Bank takes into consideration the fact that 
a portion of the Bank’s profits are directly attributable to various types of risks the Bank is exposed to, such as credit risk, 
market risk, operational risk and other quantifiable risks. The Bank uses the capital charge on these risks as a key measure to 

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2015-16

Schedules to the Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2016

evaluate the quantum of risk. The Bank takes into consideration the surplus available post adjustment of the cost of capital to 
cover all such risks and pre bonus profit as the basis for allocation of variable pay. Further the Bank also evaluates the impact 
of such remuneration on the overall cost to income ratio of the Bank. The Bank takes into consideration both Ex-Ante as well 
as Ex-Post risks. The above mentioned risks are Ex-Ante in their approach. The Bank also provides for deferment of bonus in 
the event the proportion of variable pay as compared to fixed pay is substantially high. The Bank has also devised appropriate 
malus and claw back clauses as a risk mitigant for any negative contributions of the Bank and / or relevant line of business in 
any year. Under the malus clause, the incumbent foregoes the vesting of the deferred variable pay in full or in part. Under the 
claw back clause, the incumbent is obligated to return all the tranches of payout received of bonus amounts pertaining to the 
relevant performance year. This is an Ex-Post risk management provision.

The  Bank  also  takes  into  consideration  key  steps  to  mitigate  talent  risk. The  key  measures  here  include  attrition  rate  of 
employees as well as key talent. In order to moderate talent risk the Bank conducts a comprehensive market benchmarking 
exercise to ensure that employees  are competitively positioned against market in terms of fixed, variable as well as long term 
incentives (LTI).

The risk measures and the models for assessing risk were introduced for the first time in financial year ended March 31, 2013. 
Post the introduction of the risk models the adjustment of risk for remuneration has become fundamentally more comprehensive 
and robust in coverage both from an Ex-Ante as well as an Ex-Post approach. There have not been any changes to the Bank’s 
risk adjustment model over the past year.

D.  Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period 

with levels of remuneration

The Bank has a very comprehensive multi-dimensional performance measurement metrics that takes into consideration 
multiple factors that include qualitative as well as quantitative factors. The following are the key performance measurement 
metrics for the Bank. These also form part of the key metrics for the measurement of the performance of Whole Time 
Directors and impact the final remuneration:

A. 

Business Growth - This includes growth in advances and deposits;

B. 

Profitability - This includes growth in profit after tax;

C.  Asset Quality - Gross NPA, Net NPA and % of Restructured assets to net advances;

D. 

Financial Soundness - Capital Adequacy Ratio Position and Tier I capital;

E. 

Shareholder value creation - Return on equity; and

F. 

Financial Inclusion - Growth in number of households covered, growth in the value of loans disbursed under this 
category and achievement against priority sector lending targets.

Most of the above parameters are evaluated in two steps: 

A. 

Achievement against the plans of the Bank; and

B. 

Achievement against the performance of peers.

Apart from the factors related to business growth there is also a key qualitative factor such as regulatory  compliance. 
Compliance is the key qualitative factor that acts as the moderator in the entire organisation evaluation process. A low 
score on compliance can significantly moderate the other performance measures and depending on severity may even 
nullify their impact.

While the above parameters form the core evaluation parameters for the Bank each of the business units are measured 
on the following from a remuneration standpoint:

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2015-16

123

 
 
 
 
 
Schedules to the Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2016

A. 

Increase in plan over the previous year;

B. 

Actual growth in revenue over previous year;

C.  Growth in net revenue (%);

D. 

Achievement of net revenue against plan (%);

E. 

Actual profit before tax; 

F. 

Growth in profit before tax compared to the previous year;

G.  Current cost to income; and

H. 

Improvement in cost to income over the previous year.

Apart from the above the business units are also measured against certain key business objectives that are qualitative in 
nature. 

The process by which levels of remuneration in the Bank are aligned to the performance of the Bank, business unit and 
individual employees is articulated below.

Fixed Pay

At  the  conclusion  of  every  financial  year  the  Bank  reviews  the  fixed  pay  portion  of  the  compensation  structure  basis 
merit-based  increments  and  market  corrections. These  are  based  on  a  combination  of  performance  rating,  job  band 
and the functional category of the individual employee. For a given job band, the merit increment is directly related to 
the performance rating. The Bank strives to ensure that most employees progress to the median of the market in terms 
of fixed pay over time. All other things remaining equal, the correction percentage is directly related to the performance 
rating of the individual.

Variable Pay

Basis  the  performance  of  the  business  unit,  individual  performance  and  role,  the  Bank  has  formulated  the  following 
variable pay plans: 

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:33)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:34)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)

The Bank’s annual bonus is computed as a percentage of the gross salary for every job band. The bonus multiple is 
based  on  performance  of  the  business  unit  (based  on  the  parameters  above),  performance  rating,  job  band  and  the 
functional  category  of  the  individual  employee.  The  business  performance  re-categorised  into  different  performance 
levels. The performance level determines the multiplier for the bonus. All other things remaining equal, for a given job 
band, the bonus is directly related to the performance rating. The proportion of variable pay to fixed pay increases with 
job band. Employees on the annual bonus plan are not part of the PLPs.

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:48)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:13)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:75)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:48)(cid:44)(cid:48)(cid:83)(cid:9)

The Bank has formulated PLPs for its sales personnel who are given sales targets basis a balanced scorecard methodology. 
All  PLP  payouts  are  subject  to  the  achievement  of  individual  targets  enumerated  in  the  respective  scorecards  of  the

the Bank and / or relevant line of business in any year. 

(cid:57)  Malus clause

Under  the  malus  clause  the  incumbent  foregoes  the  vesting  of  the  deferred  variable  pay  in  full  or  in  part.  
In the event there is a deterioration in specific performance criteria (such as criteria relating to profit or asset 
quality) that are laid down by the NRC, then the NRC would review the deterioration in the performance taking 
into consideration the macroeconomic environment as well as internal performance indicators and accordingly 
decide whether any part of the deferred tranche pertaining to that financial year merits a withdrawal.

(cid:57) 

Claw back clause

Under the claw back clause the incumbent is obligated to return all the tranches of payout received of bonus 
amounts pertaining to the relevant performance year. In the event there is any act attributable to the concerned 
Whole Time Director / Managing Director resulting in an incident of willful and deliberate misinterpretation / 
misreporting of financial performance (inflating the financials) of the Bank, for a financial year, which comes 
to light in the subsequent three years, the incumbent is obligated to return all the tranches of payout received 
of bonus amounts pertaining to the relevant performance year.

The specific criteria on the applicability of malus and claw back arrangements are reviewed by the NRC annually.

Employees other than Whole Time Directors

The Bank has formulated the following variable pay plans:

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:33)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:0)

The  quantum  of  variable  payout  is  a  function  of  the  performance  of  the  Bank,  performance  of  the  individual 
employee, job band of the employee and the functional category. Basis these key determinants and due adjustment 
for risk alignment, a payout matrix for variable pay is developed. Market trends for specific businesses / functions 
along with inputs from compensation surveys may also be used in finalising the payout.

Schedules to the Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2016

Bonus pools are designed to meet specific business needs therefore resulting in differentiation in both the quantum 
and the method of payout across functions. Typically higher levels of responsibility receive a higher proportion of 
variable pay vis-à-vis fixed pay. The Bank ensures that the time horizon for risk is assessed and the deferment 
period,  if  any,  for  bonus  is  set  accordingly.  Employees  on  the  annual  bonus  plan  are  not  part  of  the  PLPs.  
The following is taken into account while administering the annual bonus:

(cid:57) 

(cid:57) 

In the event the proportion of variable pay to fixed pay is substantially high (typically variable pay exceeding 
50% of fixed pay), the Bank may devise an appropriate deferment schedule after taking into consideration the 
nature of risk, time horizon of risk, and the materiality of risk.

In cases of deferment of variable pay the Bank makes an assessment prior to the due date for payment of 
the  deferred  portion  for  any  negative  contribution. The  criteria  for  negative  contribution  are  decided  basis 
pre-defined financial benchmarks. The Bank has in place appropriate methods for prevention of vesting of 
deferred variable pay or any part thereof, on account of negative contribution. The Bank also has in place claw 
back arrangements in relation to amounts already paid in the eventuality of a negative contribution.

PLPs are formulated for sales personnel who are given sales targets but have limited impact on risk since credit 
decisions  are  exercised  independent  of  the  sales  function.  All  PLP  payouts  are  subject  to  the  achievement  of 
individual  targets  enumerated  in  the  respective  scorecards  of  the  employees.  A  portion  of  the  PLP  payouts  is 
deferred till the end of the year to provide for any unforeseen performance risks. 

F. 

Description of the different forms of variable remuneration (i.e. cash, shares, ESOPs and other forms) that the 
Bank utilises and the rationale for using these different forms

The Bank recognises the importance of variable pay in reinforcing a pay for performance culture. Variable pay stimulates 
employees to stretch their abilities to exceed expectations.

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:33)(cid:78)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)

These are paid to reward performance for a given financial year. This covers all employees and excludes employees 
receiving  PLP  payouts.  This  is  based  on  performance  of  the  business  unit,  performance  rating,  job  band  and 
functional category of the individual. For higher job bands the proportion of variable pay to total compensation tends 
to be higher.

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:48)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:13)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:75)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:48)(cid:44)(cid:48)(cid:83)(cid:9)

These  are  paid  to  frontline  sales  staff  for  the  achievement  of  specific  sales  targets  but  have  limited  impact  on 
risk  as  credit  decisions  are  exercised  independent  of  the  sales  function.  Further,  it  has  been  the  endeavor  of 
the  Bank  to  ensure  that  the  objectives  set  are  based  on  the  principles  of  a  balanced  scorecard  that  takes  into 
account quantitative and qualitative measures rather than just the achievement of financial numbers. Further all 
PLPs have inherent risk adjustment mechanisms manifested in the form of deterrents. All PLP payouts are subject 
to the achievement of parameters, both qualitative and quantitative enumerated in the respective scorecards of 
the  employees.  A  portion  of  the  PLP  payouts  is  deferred  till  the  end  of  the  year  to  provide  for  any  unforeseen 
performance risks.

This  is  to  reward  for  contribution  of  employees  in  creating  a  long  term,  sustainable  earnings  and  enhancing 
shareholder  value.  Only  employees  in  a  certain  job  band  and  with  a  specific  performance  rating  are  eligible  for 
stock options. Performance is the key criteria for granting stock options.

25  Segment reporting

Business segments 

Business segments have been identified and reported taking into account, the target customer profile, the nature of products 
and  services,  the  differing  risks  and  returns,  the  organisation  structure,  the  internal  business  reporting  system  and  the 
guidelines prescribed by RBI. The Bank operates in the following segments:

a) 

Treasury

The  treasury  segment  primarily  consists  of  net  interest  earnings  from  the  Bank’s  investment  portfolio,  money  market 
borrowing  and  lending,  gains  or  losses  on  investment  operations  and  on  account  of  trading  in  foreign  exchange  and 
derivative contracts.

b)  Retail banking

The retail banking segment serves retail customers through a branch network and other delivery channels. This segment 
raises deposits from customers and provides loans and other services to customers with the help of specialist product 
groups. Exposures are classified under retail banking taking into account the status of the borrower (orientation criterion), 
the nature of product, granularity of the exposure and the quantum thereof.

Revenues  of  the  retail  banking  segment  are  derived  from  interest  earned  on  retail  loans,  interest  earned  from  other 
segments  for  surplus  funds  placed  with  those  segments,  subvention  received  from  dealers  and  manufacturers,  fees 
from services rendered, foreign exchange earnings on retail products etc. Expenses of this segment primarily comprise 
interest  expense  on  deposits,  commission  paid  to  retail  assets  sales  agents,  infrastructure  and  premises  expenses 
for  operating  the  branch  network  and  other  delivery  channels,  personnel  costs,  other  direct  overheads  and  allocated 
expenses of specialist product groups, processing units and support groups.

c)  Wholesale banking

The wholesale banking segment provides loans, non-fund facilities and transaction services to large corporates, emerging 
corporates, public sector units, government bodies, financial institutions and medium scale enterprises. Revenues of the 
wholesale banking segment consist of interest earned on loans made to customers, interest / fees earned on the cash 
float arising from transaction services, earnings from trade services and other non-fund facilities and also earnings from 
foreign exchange and derivative transactions on behalf of customers. The principal expenses of the segment consist of 
interest expense on funds borrowed from external sources and other internal segments, premises expenses, personnel 
costs, other direct overheads and allocated expenses of delivery channels, specialist product groups, processing units 
and support groups.

d)  Other banking business

This  segment  includes  income  from  para  banking  activities  such  as  credit  cards,  debit  cards,  third  party  product 
distribution, primary dealership business and the associated costs.

e)  Unallocated

All items which are reckoned at an enterprise level are classified under this segment. This includes capital and reserves, 
debt classified as Tier I or Tier II capital and other unallocable assets and liabilities such as deferred tax, prepaid expenses, 
etc.

Segment revenue includes earnings from external customers plus earnings from funds transferred to other segments. 
Segment result includes revenue less interest expense less operating expense and provisions, if any, for that segment. 
Segment-wise income and expenses include certain allocations. Interest income is charged by a segment that provides 
funding to another segment, based on yields benchmarked to an internally approved yield curve or at a certain agreed 
transfer price rate. Transaction charges are levied by the retail banking segment to the wholesale banking segment for the 
use by its customers of the retail banking segment’s branch network or other delivery channels. Such transaction costs 
are determined on a cost plus basis. Segment capital employed represents the net assets in that segment.

Qualitative disclosure on LCR

The  Liquidity  Coverage  Ratio  (LCR)  is  a  global  minimum  standard  for  bank  liquidity.  It  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, partially offset by inflows from assets maturing within 30 days. The average 

LCR  was  at  80.61%  for  the  quarter  ended  March  2016. The  average  HQLA  was  `  87,390.70  crore  of  which  government 

securities constituted about 73%. The outflows related to derivative exposures (net of cash inflows) / collateral requirements 

and undrawn commitments constituted about 2% and 6% respectively of average cash outflow of ` 185,910.04 crore. Average 

inflows from assets were ` 77,496.07 crore.

Average LCR for the quarter ended March 2016 is 80.61%, which is comfortably above RBI prescribed minimum requirement 

of 70%.

Major reasons for movement in average LCR as compared to the previous quarter ended December 2015 are as follows:

maintained a robust funding profile with a significant portion of funding through deposits. As of March 2016 the top 20 

depositors comprised of around 5% of total deposits.

Note: 

1.   CCIL guaranteed deals were netted for computing FX & Derivatives numbers from December 2015 quarter end. Hence, 

the numbers for serial number 5(i) and 11 are not strictly comparable with previous quarter numbers.

2.  

LCR  for  the  quarter  end  March  2015  had  been  computed  based  on  the  guidelines  applicable  at  that  point  in  time. 

Subsequently  there  have  been  amendments  in  the  RBI  guidelines  w.e.f.  April  2015.  Hence,  the  previous  year  end 

numbers are not comparable with current financial year.

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial

as “the Bank” or “the Holding Company”) and its subsidiaries 
(the  Bank  and  its  subsidiaries  together  referred  to  as  “the

Balance  Sheet  as  at  31st  March,  2016,  the  Consolidated 
Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss,  the  Consolidated  Cash  Flow 
Statement  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  a  summary  of 
the  significant  accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory 
information  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  “the  consolidated 
financial statements”).

Management’s  Responsibility  for  the  Consolidated 
Financial Statements 

The  Bank’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  the 
preparation  of  these  consolidated  financial  statements  in 
terms  of  the  requirements  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013 
(hereinafter  referred  to  as  “the  Act”)  that  give  a  true  and 
fair  view  of  the  consolidated  financial  position,  consolidated 
financial  performance  and  consolidated  cash  flows  of  the 
Group  including  its  Associates  in  accordance    with    the 
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  India,    including 
the  Accounting  Standards  prescribed  under  Section    133  of 
the  Act,  the  Banking  Regulation  Act,  1949  and  guidelines 
issued  by  the  Reserve  Bank  of  India  as  applicable  to  the 
respective  entities.  The  respective  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  companies  included  in  the  Group  and  its  associates 
are  responsible  for  maintenance  of  adequate  accounting 
records  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Act,  for 
safeguarding  the  assets  of  the  Group  and  for  preventing 
and  detecting  frauds  and  other  irregularities,  the  selection 
and  application  of  appropriate  accounting  policies;  making 
judgements  and  estimates  that  are  reasonable  and  prudent; 
and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate 
internal  financial  controls,  that  were  operating  effectively  for 
ensuring  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  the  accounting 
records,  relevant  to  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
financial  statements  that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  and  are 
free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or 
error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of 
the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the 
Bank, as aforesaid.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these 
consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit. 
While  conducting  the  audit,  we  have  taken  into  account  the 
provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards 
and  matters  which  are  required  to  be  included  in  the  audit 
report  under  the  provisions  of  the  Act  and  the  Rules  made 
thereunder. 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Standards 
on  Auditing  specified  under  Section  143(10)  of  the  Act.  
Those  Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  ethical 
requirements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain 
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated 
financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit  evidence 
about  the  amounts  and  the  disclosures  in  the  consolidated 
financial  statements.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the 
auditor’s  judgement,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of 
material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements, 
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, 
the  auditor  considers  internal  financial  control  relevant  to  the 
Bank’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements that 
give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that 
are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances.  An  audit  also  includes 
evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  the  accounting  policies  used 
and  the  reasonableness  of  the  accounting  estimates  made  by 
the Bank’s Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit 
evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports 
referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of the Other Matters paragraph 
below,  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our 
audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to 
the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial 
statements  give  the  information  required  by  the  Act  in  the 
manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity 
with  the  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  India,  of 
the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and its associates 
as  at  31st  March,  2016,  and  their  consolidated  profit  and  their 
consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date. 

Other Matters

a)  We  did  not  audit  the  financial  statements  of  2 
subsidiaries  whose  financial  statements  reflect  total 
assets  of  `  2,611,598  lacs  as  at  31st  March,  2016, 
total revenues of ` 371,041 lacs and net cash outflows 
amounting  to  `  4,140  lacs  for  the  year  ended  on  that 
date,  as  considered  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. The  consolidated  financial  statements  also 
include  the  Group’s  share  of  net  profit  of  `  267  lacs 
for  the  year  ended  31st  March,  2016,  as  considered  in 
the consolidated financial statements, in respect of two 
associates,  whose  financial  statements  have  not  been 
audited  by  us.  These  financial  statements  have  been 
audited  by  other  auditors  whose  reports  have  been 
furnished  to  us  by  the  Management  and  our  opinion 
on  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  in  so  far  as 
it  relates  to  the  amounts  and  disclosures  included  in 
respect  of  these  subsidiaries  and  associates,  is  based 
solely on the reports of the other auditors.

REPORT 

(Referred  to  in  paragraph  1.f  under  ‘Report  on  Other 
Legal  and  Regulatory  Requirements’  of  our  report  of 
even date) 

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial 
Reporting  under  Clause  (i)  of  Sub-section  3  of  Section 
143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial 
reporting  of  HDFC  BANK  LIMITED  (hereinafter  referred  to 
as “the Holding Company”), its subsidiary companies, and its 
associate  companies,  which  are  companies  incorporated  in 
India, as of 31st March, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of 
the consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company 
for the year then ended.

Management’s  Responsibility  for  Internal  Financial 
Controls

The  respective  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Holding  Company, 
its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, which 
are  companies  incorporated  in  India,  are  responsible  for 
establishing and maintaining the internal control over financial 
reporting  criteria  established  by  the  respective  companies 
considering  the  essential  components  of  internal  control 
stated  in  the  Guidance  Note  on  Audit  of  Internal  Financial 
Controls  Over  Financial  Reporting  (“the  Guidance  Note”) 
issued  by  the  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants  of  India. 
These  responsibilities  include  the  design,  implementation 
and  maintenance  of  adequate  internal  financial  controls  that 
were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient 
conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective 
company’s  policies,  the  safeguarding  of  its  assets,  the 
prevention  and  detection  of  frauds  and  errors,  the  accuracy 
and  completeness  of  the  accounting  records,  and  the  timely 
preparation of reliable financial information, as required under 
the Companies Act, 2013, the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 
and the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  internal 
financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  of  the  Holding 
Company, its subsidiary companies, its associate companies 
which are companies incorporated in India based on our audit. 
We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Guidance 
Note  issued  by  the  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants  of 
India  and  the  Standards  on  Auditing,  prescribed  under 
Section  143(10)  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013,  to  the  extent 
applicable  to  an  audit  of  internal  financial  controls.  Those 
Standards  and  the  Guidance  Note  require  that  we  comply 
with  ethical  requirements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal 
financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  was  established 
and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all 
material respects.

Our  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
evidence  about  the  adequacy  of  the  internal  financial 
controls  system  over  financial  reporting  and  their  operating 
effectiveness.  Our  audit  of  internal  financial  controls  over 
financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of 
internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting,  assessing 
the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  and  testing  and 
evaluating  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal 
control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected 
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment 
of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial 
statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  and 
the  other  Auditors’  Report  on  the  Internal  Financial  Controls 
over Financial Reporting, furnished to us by management, in 
relation to two subsidiaries and two associates which are not 
audited  by  us,  which  are  companies  incorporated  in  India, 
and  as  referred  to  in  the  Other  Matters  paragraph  below,  is 
sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit 
opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial 
reporting of the aforesaid entities.

Meaning  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over  Financial 
Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting 
is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance 
regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the 
preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in 
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  A 
company’s  internal  financial  control  over  financial  reporting 
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the 
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately 
and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the 
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that 
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation 
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and  expenditures 
of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with 
authorisations of management and directors of the company; 
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or 
timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition 
of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on 
the financial statements.

Inherent  Limitations  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over 
Financial Reporting

Because  of  the  inherent  limitations  of  internal  financial 
controls  over  financial  reporting,  including  the  possibility 
of  collusion  or  improper  management  override  of  controls, 
material  misstatements  due  to  error  or  fraud  may  occur  and 
not  be  detected.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  the 
internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  to  future 
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control 

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2015-16

144

over  financial  reporting  may  become  inadequate  because  of 
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with 
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In    our  opinion  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according 
to the explanations given to us, and taking into consideration 
the  reports  of  the  other  auditors  referred  to  in  the  Other 
Matters paragraph below the Holding Company, its subsidiary 
companies and its associate companies, which are companies 
incorporated  in  India,  have,  in  all  material  respects,  an 
adequate  internal  financial  controls  system  over  financial 
reporting  and  such  internal  financial  controls  over  financial 
reporting  were  operating  effectively  as  at  31st  March, 
2016,  based  on  the  internal  control  over  financial  reporting 
criteria  established  by  the  respective  companies  considering 
the  essential  components  of  internal  control  stated  in 
the  Guidance  Note  issued  by  the  Institute  of  Chartered 
Accountants of India.

Other Matters

Our  aforesaid  report  under  Section  143(3)(i)  of  the  Act  on 
the  adequacy  and  operating  effectiveness  of  the  internal 
financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  insofar  as  it  relates 
to  two  subsidiary  companies  and  two  associate  companies, 
which  are  companies  incorporated  in  India,  is  based  on  the 
corresponding  reports  of  the  auditors  of  such  companies 
incorporated in India.

The  financial  statements  and  internal  financial  controls  over 

financial reporting in relation to one associate company, which 
is a company incorporated in India, is unaudited. Our opinion 
on  the  internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  of 
the  aforesaid  entities  excludes  consideration  of  the  internal 
financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  in  respect  of  this 
associate.  In  our  opinion  and  according  to  the  information 
and  explanations  given  to  us  by  the  Holding  Company’s 
management,  the  financial  statements  of  the  associate,  and 
the  related  internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting 
are not material to the consolidated financial statements, and 
the related internal financial control over financial reporting of 
the aforesaid entities.

Our  opinion  on  the  adequacy  and  operating  effectiveness 
of  internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  is  not 
modified  in  respect  of  the  above  matters  with  respect  to 
our  reliance  on  the  work  done  and  the  reports  of  the  other 
auditors  and  representation  of  the  Board  of  Director  and 
management.

For the year ended March 31, 2016

SCHEDULE 17 -  Significant accounting policies appended to and forming part of the consolidated financial statements for  

the year ended March 31, 2016

A 

BACKGROUND

HDFC Bank Limited (‘HDFC Bank’ or ‘the Bank’), incorporated in Mumbai, India is a publicly held banking company engaged 
in providing a range of banking and financial services including retail banking, wholesale banking and treasury operations. 
The Bank is governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and the Companies Act, 2013. The Bank has overseas branch 
operations in Bahrain, Hong Kong and Dubai. The financial accounting systems of the Bank are centralised and, therefore, 
accounting returns are not required to be submitted by branches of the Bank.

B 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The  consolidated  financial  statements  comprise  the  financial  statements  of  the  Bank  and  its  subsidiaries  constituting  the 
‘Group’ and ‘Group’s’ share of profits of associates.

The Bank consolidates its subsidiaries in accordance with Accounting Standard (‘AS’) 21, Consolidated Financial Statements, 
specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, on a line-by-line basis by adding together the like items of assets, 
liabilities, income and expenditure. Capital reserve / Goodwill on consolidation represent the difference between the Bank’s 
share in the net worth of the subsidiary and the cost of acquisition at the time of making the investment in the subsidiary. 
Further,  the  Bank  accounts  for  investments  in  associates  under  equity  method  of  accounting  in  accordance  with  AS-23, 
Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements, specified under section 133 of the Companies 
Act, 2013.

C 

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention and accrual 
basis of accounting, unless otherwise stated and are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India 
(‘GAAP’), statutory requirements prescribed under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, circulars and guidelines issued by the 
Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’) from time to time, Accounting Standards (‘AS’) specified under section 133 of the Companies 
Act, 2013, in so far as they apply to banks and current practices prevailing within the banking industry in India.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management to make estimates 
and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date 
of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses for the reporting period. Management believes that the 
estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from these 
estimates. Any revision in the accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.

HDB Financial Services Limited is a non-banking financial company and a subsidiary of the Bank. HDFC Securities Limited is 
a financial services provider along with broking as core product and a subsidiary of the Bank.

The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of HDFC Bank Limited with its following subsidiaries and associates:

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments

HDFC Bank Limited  

Classification:

In accordance with the RBI guidelines on investment classification and valuation, investments are classified on the date of 
purchase into “Held for Trading” (‘HFT’), “Available for Sale” (‘AFS’) and “Held to Maturity” (‘HTM’) categories (hereinafter called 
“categories”). Subsequent shifting amongst the categories is done in accordance with the RBI guidelines. Under each of these 
categories, investments are further classified under six groups (hereinafter called “groups”) - Government Securities, Other 
Approved Securities, Shares, Debentures and Bonds, Investments in Subsidiaries / Joint Ventures and Other Investments. 

Purchase and sale transactions in securities are recorded under ‘Settlement Date’ of accounting, except in the case of equity 
shares where ‘Trade Date’ accounting is followed.

Basis of classification:

Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified under HFT category. 
Investments  which  the  Bank  intends  to  hold  till  maturity  are  classified  as  HTM  securities.  Investments  in  the  equity  of 
subsidiaries  /  joint  ventures  are  categorised  as  HTM  in  accordance  with  the  RBI  guidelines.  Investments  which  are  not 
classified in either of the above categories are classified under AFS category.

Acquisition cost:

Brokerage, commission, etc. and broken period interest on debt instruments are recognised in the Statement of Profit and 
Loss and are not included in the cost of acquisition.

Disposal of investments:

Profit / Loss on sale of investments under the aforesaid three categories is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. 
Cost of investments is based on the weighted average cost method. The profit from sale of investment under HTM category, 
net  of  taxes  and  transfer  to  statutory  reserve  is  appropriated  from  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  to  “Capital  Reserve”  in 
accordance with the RBI Guidelines.

Short sale:

The  Bank  undertakes  short  sale  transactions  in  Central  Government  dated  securities  in  accordance  with  RBI  guidelines. 
The short position is reflected as the amount received on sale and is classified under ‘Other Liabilities’. The short position is 
marked to market and loss, if any, is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss while gain, if any, is ignored. Profit / Loss 
on settlement of the short position is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Valuation:

Investments classified under AFS and HFT categories are marked to market as per the RBI guidelines.

Traded investments are valued based on the trades / quotes on the recognised stock exchanges, price list of RBI or prices 
declared by Primary Dealers Association of India (‘PDAI’) jointly with Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association 
(‘FIMMDA’), periodically. 

The  market  value  of  unquoted  government  securities  which  qualify  for  determining  the  Statutory  Liquidity  Ratio  (‘SLR’) 
included in the AFS and HFT categories is computed as per the Yield-to-Maturity (‘YTM’) rates published by FIMMDA. 

The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities (viz. State Government securities, other approved securities, bonds 
and debentures) and preference shares, is done with a mark-up (reflecting associated credit and liquidity risk) over the YTM 
rates for government securities published by FIMMDA. 

Special  bonds  such  as  oil  bonds,  fertilizer  bonds  etc.  which  are  directly  issued  by  Government  of  India  (‘GOI’)  that  do  not

Schedules to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2016

qualify for SLR are also valued by applying the mark-up above the corresponding yield on GOI securities. 

Unquoted  equity  shares  are  valued  at  the  break-up  value,  if  the  latest  balance  sheet  is  available  or  at  `  1  as  per  the  RBI 
guidelines. 

Units of mutual funds are valued at the latest repurchase price / net asset value declared by the mutual fund. 

Treasury bills, commercial papers and certificate of deposits being discounted instruments, are valued at carrying cost and 
stated at acquisition cost. 

Security receipts are valued as per the net asset value provided by the issuing Asset Reconstruction Company from time to 
time.

Net depreciation in the value, if any, compared to the acquisition cost, in any of the six groups, is charged to the Statement 
of Profit and Loss. The net appreciation, if any, in any of the six groups is not recognised except to the extent of depreciation 
already  provided.  The  valuation  of  investments  includes  securities  under  repo  transactions.  The  book  value  of  individual 
securities is not changed after the valuation of investments.

Investments  classified  under  HTM  category  are  carried  at  their  acquisition  cost  and  not  marked  to  market.  Any  premium 
on  acquisition  is  amortised  over  the  remaining  maturity  period  of  the  security  on  a  constant  yield  to  maturity  basis.  Such 
amortisation  of  premium  is  adjusted  against  interest  income  under  the  head  “Income  from  investments”  as  per  the  RBI 
guidelines. Any diminution, other than temporary, in the value of investments in subsidiaries / joint ventures is provided for.

Non-performing investments are identified and depreciation / provision are made thereon based on the RBI guidelines. The 
depreciation  /  provision  on  such  non-performing  investments  are  not  set  off  against  the  appreciation  in  respect  of  other 
performing  securities.  Interest  on  non-performing  investments  is  not  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  until 
received.

Repo and reverse repo transactions:

In  accordance  with  the  RBI  guidelines  repo  and  reverse  repo  transactions  in  government  securities  and  corporate  debt 
securities (excluding transactions conducted under Liquidity Adjustment Facility (‘LAF’) and Marginal Standby Facility (‘MSF’) 
with RBI) are reflected as borrowing and lending transactions respectively. Borrowing cost on repo transactions is accounted 
for as interest expense and revenue on reverse repo transactions are accounted for as interest income.

In respect of repo transactions under LAF and MSF with RBI, amount borrowed from RBI is credited to investment account 
and reversed on maturity of the transaction. Costs thereon are accounted for as interest expense. In respect of reverse repo 
transactions  under  LAF,  amount  lent  to  RBI  is  debited  to  investment  account  and  reversed  on  maturity  of  the  transaction. 
Revenues thereon are accounted for as interest income.

HDFC Securities Limited

Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date, on which such 
investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. 
Current investments are carried at cost or fair value, whichever is lower. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, 
provision for diminution is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction 
being determined and made for each investment individually.

HDB Financial Services Limited

Investments expected to mature after twelve months are taken as long term / non-current investment and stated at cost. Provision 
is  recognised  only  in  case  of  diminution,  which  is  other  than  temporary  in  nature.  Investments  maturing  within  three  months 
from the date of acquisition are classified as cash equivalents if they are readily convertible into cash. All other investment are 
recognised as short term / current investments and are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value.  

Interest on borrowings is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on an accrual basis. Costs associated with borrowings 
are grouped under financial charges along with the interest costs.

HDB Employees Welfare Trust 

Long-term investments are stated at cost of acquisition. Provision for diminution is made if such diminution is considered as 
being other than temporary in nature.

Advances

HDFC Bank Limited

Classification:

Advances  are  classified  as  performing  and  non-performing  based  on  the  RBI  guidelines  and  are  stated  net  of  bills 
rediscounted,  specific  provisions,  interest  in  suspense  for  non-performing  advances,  claims  received  from  Export  Credit 
Guarantee  Corporation,  provisions  for  funded  interest  term  loan  classified  as  non-performing  advances  and  provisions  in 
lieu  of  diminution  in  the  fair  value  of  restructured  assets.  Interest  on  non-performing  advances  is  transferred  to  an  interest 
suspense account and not recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss until received.

Provisioning:

Specific loan loss provisions in respect of non-performing advances are made based on management’s assessment of the 
degree of impairment of wholesale and retail advances, subject to the minimum provisioning level prescribed by the RBI. 

The specific provision levels for retail non-performing assets are also based on the nature of product and delinquency levels. 
Specific  loan  loss  provisions  in  respect  of  non-performing  advances  are  charged  to  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  and 
included under Provisions and Contingencies. 

In  accordance  with  RBI  guidelines,  accelerated  provision  is  made  on  non-performing  advances  which  were  not  earlier 
reported  by  the  Bank  as  Special  Mention  Account  under “SMA-2”  category  to  Central  Repository  of  Information  on  Large 
Credits (CRILC). Accelerated provision is also made on non-performing advances which are erstwhile SMA-2 accounts with 
Aggregate Exposure (AE) ` 1,000 million or above and Joint Lenders’ Forum (JLF) is not formed or they fail to agree upon 
a common Corrective Action Plan (CAP) within the stipulated time frame.

Accounts are written-off in accordance with the Bank’s policies. Recoveries from bad debts written-off are recognised in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss and included under other income. 

In relation to non-performing derivative contracts, as per the extant RBI guidelines, the Bank makes provision for the entire 
amount of overdue and future receivables relating to positive marked to market value of the said derivative contracts.

The Bank maintains general provision for standard assets including credit exposures computed as per the current marked 
to market values of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts and gold in accordance with the guidelines and 
at  levels  stipulated  by  RBI  from  time  to  time.  In  the  case  of  overseas  branches,  general  provision  on  standard  advances 
is  maintained  at  the  higher  of  the  levels  stipulated  by  the  respective  overseas  regulator  or  RBI.  In  accordance  with  RBI 
guidelines, provision is made against standard assets representing all exposures to the wholly owned step down subsidiaries 
of  the  overseas  subsidiaries  of  Indian  companies,  sanctioned  /  renewed  after  December  31,  2015.  Provision  for  standard 
assets is included under other liabilities.

Provisions  made  in  excess  of  the  Bank’s  policy  for  specific  loan  loss  provisions  for  non-performing  assets  and  regulatory 
general provisions are categorised as floating provisions. Creation of floating provisions is considered by the Bank up to a 
level approved by the Board of Directors. In accordance with the RBI guidelines, floating provisions are used up to a level 
approved  by  the  Board  only  for  contingencies  under  extraordinary  circumstances  and  for  making  specific  provisions  for 
impaired accounts as per these guidelines or any regulatory guidance / instructions. Floating provisions have been included 
under other liabilities.

Further  to  the  provisions  required  to  be  held  according  to  the  asset  classification  status,  provisions  are  held  for  individual 
country exposures (other than for home country exposure). Countries are categorised into risk categories as per Export Credit 
Guarantee  Corporation  of  India  Ltd.  (‘ECGC’)  guidelines  and  provisioning  is  done  in  respect  of  that  country  where  the  net 
funded exposure is one percent or more of the Bank’s total assets.

In addition to the above, the Bank on a prudential basis makes provisions on advances or exposures which are not NPAs, 
but  has  reasons  to  believe  on  the  basis  of  the  extant  environment  or  specific  information  or  basis  regulatory  guidance 
/  instructions,  the  possible  slippage  of  a  specific  advance  or  a  group  of  advances  or  exposures  or  potential  exposures.  
These are classified as contingent provisions and included under other liabilities. 

The Bank considers a restructured account as one where the Bank, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s 
financial  difficulty,  grants  to  the  borrower  concessions  that  the  Bank  would  not  otherwise  consider.  Restructuring  would

normally involve modification of terms of the advance / securities, which would generally include, among others, alteration of 
repayment period / repayable amount / the amount of installments / rate of interest (due to reasons other than competitive 
reasons).  Restructured  accounts  are  classified  as  such  by  the  Bank  only  upon  approval  and  implementation  of  the 
restructuring package. Necessary provision for diminution in the fair value of a restructured account is made and classification 
thereof is as per the extant RBI guidelines. Restructuring of an account is done at a borrower level.

HDB Financial Services Limited

guidelines.  Interest  on  non-performing  advances  is  transferred  to  an  interest  suspense  account  and  not  recognised  in  the 
Statement of Profit and Loss until received. Loan assets are recognised on disbursement of loan and in case of new asset 
financing on the transfer of ownership.

The Bank securitises out its receivables subject to the Minimum Holding Period (‘MHP’) criteria and the Minimum Retention 
Requirements  (‘MRR’)  of  RBI,  to  Special  Purpose  Vehicles  (‘SPVs’)  in  securitisation  transactions.  Such  securitised-
out  receivables  are  de-recognised  in  the  balance  sheet  when  they  are  sold  (true  sale  criteria  being  fully  met  with)  and 
consideration is received by the Bank. Sales / Transfers that do not meet these criteria for surrender of control are accounted 
for as secured borrowings. In respect of receivable pools securitised-out, the Bank provides liquidity and credit enhancements, 
as specified by the rating agencies, in the form of cash collaterals / guarantees and / or by subordination of cash flows, not 
exceeding 20% of the total securitised instruments, in line with RBI guidelines. The Bank also acts as a servicing agent for 
receivable pools securitised-out. 

The  Bank  also  enters  into  transactions  for  transfer  of  standard  assets  through  the  direct  assignment  of  cash  flows,  which 
are  similar  to  asset-backed  securitisation  transactions  through  the  SPV  route,  except  that  such  portfolios  of  receivables 
are  assigned  directly  to  the  purchaser  and  are  not  represented  by  Pass Through  Certificates  (‘PTCs’),  subject  to  the  RBI 
prescribed  MHP  criteria  and  the  MRR. The  RBI  issued  addendum  guidelines  on  securitisation  of  standard  assets  vide  its 
circular dated May 7, 2012. Accordingly, the Bank does not provide liquidity or credit enhancements on the direct assignment 
transactions undertaken subsequent to these guidelines.

Pursuant  to  these  guidelines,  the  Bank  amortises  any  profit  received  in  cash  for  every  individual  securitisation  or  direct 
assignment transaction. This amortisation is calculated as the maximum of either of the three parameters stated below:

Schedules to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2016

In relation to securitisation transactions undertaken prior to the aforementioned RBI guidelines, including those undertaken 
through  the  direct  assignment  route,  the  Bank  continues  to  amortise  the  profit  /  premium  that  arose  on  account  of  sale  of 
receivables  over  the  life  of  the  securities  sold,  in  accordance  with  the  RBI  guidelines  on  securitisation  of  standard  assets 
issued vide its circular dated February 1, 2006.

Any loss arising on account of sale of receivables is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period in which 
the sale occurs in accordance with the said RBI guidelines.

The Bank transfers advances through inter-bank participation with and without risk. In accordance with the RBI guidelines, in 
the case of participation with risk, the aggregate amount of the participation issued by the Bank is reduced from advances 
and where the Bank is participating, the aggregate amount of the participation is classified under advances. In the case of 
participation without risk, the aggregate amount of participation issued by the Bank is classified under borrowings and where 
the Bank is participating, the aggregate amount of participation is shown as due from banks under advances.

In accordance with RBI guidelines on sale of non-performing advances, if the sale is at a price below the net book value (i.e., 
book value less provisions held), the shortfall is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the sale is for a value higher 
than the net book value, the excess provision is not reversed but is utilised to meet the shortfall / loss on account of sale of 
other non-performing advances. The RBI issued new guidelines on sale of non-performing advances on February 26, 2014. In 
accordance with these guidelines, if the sale of non-performing advances is at a price below the net book value, the shortfall 
is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss spread over a period of two years. If the sale is for a value higher than the 
net book value, the excess provision is credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year the amounts are received.

The Bank invests in PTCs issued by other SPVs. These are accounted for at the deal value and are classified as investments. 
The  Bank  also  buys  loans  through  the  direct  assignment  route  which  are  classified  as  advances.  These  are  carried  at 
acquisition  cost  unless  it  is  more  than  the  face  value,  in  which  case  the  premium  is  amortised  based  on  Effective  Interest 
Rate (EIR) method.

Fixed assets and depreciation

HDFC Bank Limited

Fixed  assets  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  as  adjusted  for  impairment,  if  any.  Cost  includes  cost  of 
purchase and all expenditure like site preparation, installation costs and professional fees incurred on the asset before it is 
ready to use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on assets put to use is capitalised only when it increases the future benefit / 
functioning capability from / of such assets. 

Depreciation is charged over the estimated useful life of the fixed asset on a straight-line basis. The Bank, pursuant to the 
Companies Act, 2013, has carried out a technical assessment of the useful life of its assets taking into account changes in

HDFC Securities Limited

Tangible  assets  are  stated  at  acquisition  cost,  net  of  accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated  impairment  losses,  if 
any. Cost comprises purchase price and expenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the 
intended use. Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset are added to its book value only if it increases the 
future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Items of fixed assets that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book 
value and net realisable value and are shown separately in the financial statements.

Gains or losses arising from disposal or retirement of tangible fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net 
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised net, within “Other Income” or “Other Expenses”, 
as the case maybe, in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year of disposal or retirement.

Capital  work-in-progress  are  fixed  assets  which  are  not  yet  ready  for  their  intended  use.  Such  assets  are  carried  at  cost 
comprising direct cost and related incidental expenses.

Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis to fully depreciate the assets using the straight-line method over the estimated 
useful lives of the assets.

For the following categories of assets, depreciation on tangible fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method 
as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013:

Impairment of assets

Group

The Group assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Impairment 
loss, if any, is provided in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their estimated 
recoverable amount.

Transactions involving foreign exchange

HDFC Bank Limited

Foreign  currency  income  and  expenditure  items  of  domestic  operations  are  translated  at  the  exchange  rates  prevailing  on 
the date of the transaction. Income and expenditure items of integral foreign operations (representative offices) are translated 
at the weekly average closing rates and of non-integral foreign operations (foreign branches) at the monthly average closing 
rates.

Foreign  currency  monetary  items  of  domestic  and  integral  foreign  operations  are  translated  at  the  closing  exchange  rates 
notified  by  Foreign  Exchange  Dealers’  Association  of  India  (‘FEDAI’)  as  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date  and  the  resulting  net 
valuation profit or loss arising due to a net open position in any foreign currency is recognised in the Statement of Profit and 
Loss.

Both monetary and non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of non-integral foreign operations are translated at 
closing  exchange  rates  notified  by  FEDAI  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date  and  the  resulting  profit  /  loss  arising  from  exchange 
differences are accumulated in the Foreign Currency Translation Account until remittance or the disposal of the net investment 
in the non-integral foreign operations in accordance with AS - 11, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Foreign exchange spot and forward contracts outstanding as at the Balance Sheet date and held for trading, are revalued at 
the closing spot and forward rates respectively as notified by FEDAI and at interpolated rates for contracts of interim maturities.  
The USD-INR rate for valuation of contracts having longer maturities i.e. greater than one year is implied from MIFOR and 
LIBOR  curves.  For  other  currency  pairs,  the  forward  points  (for  rates  /  tenors  not  published  by  FEDAI)  are  obtained  from 
Reuters  for  valuation  of  the  FX  deals.  As  directed  by  FEDAI  to  consider  P&L  on  present  value  basis,  the  forward  profit  or 
loss on the deals are discounted till the valuation date using the discounting yields. The resulting profit or loss on valuation 
is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Foreign exchange contracts are classified as assets when the fair value is 
positive (positive marked to market value) or as liabilities when the fair value is negative (negative marked to market value).

Foreign exchange forward contracts not intended for trading, that are entered into to establish the amount of reporting currency 
required or available at the settlement date of a transaction and are outstanding at the Balance Sheet date, are effectively 
valued at the closing spot rate. The premia or discount arising at the inception of such  forward exchange contract is amortised 
as expense or income over the life of the contract.

Currency future contracts are marked to market daily using settlement price on a trading day, which is the closing price of 
the respective future contracts on that day. While the daily settlement price is computed on the basis of the last half an hour 
weighted average price of such contract, the final settlement price is taken as the RBI reference rate on the last trading day of 
the future contract or as may be specified by the relevant authority from time to time. All open positions are marked to market 
based on the settlement price and the resultant marked to market profit / loss is daily settled with the exchange.

Contingent  liabilities  on  account  of  foreign  exchange  contracts,  currency  future  contracts,  guarantees,  letters  of  credit, 
acceptances and endorsements are reported at closing rates of exchange notified by FEDAI as at the Balance Sheet date.

Derivative contracts

HDFC Bank Limited

The Bank recognises all derivative contracts (other than those designated as hedges) at fair value, on the date on which the 
derivative contracts are entered into and are re-measured at fair value as at the Balance Sheet or reporting dates. Derivatives 
are classified as assets when the fair value is positive (positive marked to market value) or as liabilities when the fair value is 
negative (negative marked to market value). Changes in the fair value of derivatives other than those designated as hedges 
are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. 

Derivative contracts designated as hedges are not marked to market unless their underlying transaction is marked to market. 
In respect of derivative contracts that are marked to market, changes in the market value are recognised in the Statement of 
Profit and Loss in the relevant period. The Bank identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the transaction 
itself. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of the inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. Gains or losses 
arising from hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Contingent  liabilities  on  account  of  derivative  contracts  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  reported  at  closing  rates  of 
exchange notified by FEDAI as at the Balance Sheet date.

Employee benefits

HDFC Bank Limited

Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS’) 

The Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘the Scheme’) provides for the grant of options to acquire equity shares of the Bank to its 
employees. The options granted to employees vest in a graded manner and these may be exercised by the employees within 
a specified period.

The Bank follows the intrinsic value method to account for its stock-based employee compensation plans. Compensation cost 
is measured by the excess, if any, of the market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price as determined under the 
option plan. The market price is the closing price on the stock exchange where there is highest trading volume on the working 
day immediately preceding the date of grant. Compensation cost, if any is amortised over the vesting period.

Gratuity

The Bank provides for gratuity to all employees. The benefit vests upon completion of five years of service and is in the form 
of lump sum payment to employees on resignation, retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment 
of an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each completed year of service. The Bank makes contributions to 
funds administered by trustees and managed by insurance companies for amounts notified by the said insurance companies. 
In respect of erstwhile Lord Krishna Bank (‘eLKB’) employees, the Bank makes contribution to a fund set up by eLKB and 
administered by the Board of Trustees.

The defined gratuity benefit plans are valued by an independent actuary as at the Balance Sheet date using the projected 
unit credit method as per the requirement of AS-15, Employee Benefits, to determine the present value of the defined benefit 
obligation and the related service costs. Under this method, the determination is based on actuarial calculations, which include 
assumptions about demographics, early retirement, salary increases and interest rates. Actuarial gain or loss is recognised in 
the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Superannuation

Employees of the Bank, above a prescribed grade, are entitled to receive retirement benefits under the Bank’s Superannuation 
Fund. The Bank contributes a sum equivalent to 13% of the employee’s eligible annual basic salary (15% for the Whole Time 
Directors and for certain eligible erstwhile Centurion Bank of Punjab (‘eCBoP’) staff) to insurance companies, which administer 
the fund. The Bank has no liability for future superannuation fund benefits other than its contribution, and recognises such 
contributions as an expense in the year incurred, as such contribution is in the nature of defined contribution.

Provident fund

In accordance with law, all employees of the Bank are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund. The Bank contributes 
an amount, on a monthly basis, at a determined rate (currently 12% of employee’s basic salary). Of this, the Bank contributes 
an amount equal to 8.33% of employee’s basic salary up to a maximum salary level of ` 15,000/- per month, to the Pension 
Scheme administered by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (‘RPFC’). The balance amount is contributed to a fund 
set up by the Bank and administered by a Board of Trustees. In respect of eCBoP employees, employer’s and employee’s

share of contribution to Provident Fund till March 2009, was administered by RPFC and from April 2009 onwards, the same is 
transferred to the fund set up by the Bank and administered by the Board of Trustees. In respect of eLKB employees, the Bank 
contributes to a fund set up by eLKB and administered by a Board of Trustees. The Bank recognises such contributions as an 
expense in the year in which it is incurred. Interest payable to the members of the trust shall not be lower than the statutory 
rate  of  interest  declared  by  the  Central  Government  under  the  Employees  Provident  Funds  and  Miscellaneous  Provisions  
Act, 1952 and shortfall, if any, shall be made good by the Bank.

The guidance note on implementing AS-15, Employee Benefits, states that benefits involving employer established provident 
funds, which require interest shortfalls to be provided, are to be considered as defined benefit plans. Actuarial valuation of this 
Provident Fund interest shortfall is done as per the guidance note issued in this respect by the The Institute of Actuaries of India 
(IAI) and provision towards this liability is made.

The  overseas  branches  of  the  Bank  makes  contribution  to  the  respective  relevant  government  scheme  calculated  as  a 
percentage of the employees’ salaries. The Bank’s obligations are limited to these contributions, which are expensed when 
due, as such contribution is in the nature of defined contribution. 

Leave encashment / Compensated absences

The Bank does not have a policy of encashing unavailed leave for its employees, except for certain eLKB employees under 
Indian Banks’ Association (‘IBA’) structure. The Bank provides for leave encashment / compensated absences based on an 
independent actuarial valuation at the Balance Sheet date, which includes assumptions about demographics, early retirement, 
salary increases, interest rates and leave utilisation.

Pension

In respect of pension payable to certain eLKB employees under IBA structure, which is a defined benefit scheme, the Bank 
contributes  10%  of  basic  salary  to  a  pension  fund  set  up  by  the  Bank  and  administered  by  the  Board  of Trustees  and  the 
balance amount is provided based on actuarial valuation as at the Balance Sheet date conducted by an independent actuary.

In  respect  of  certain  eLKB  employees  who  had  moved  to  a  Cost  to  Company  (‘CTC’)  driven  compensation  structure  and 
had completed less than 15 years of service, the contribution which was made until then, is maintained as a fund and will be 
converted into annuity on separation after a lock-in-period of two years. For this category of employees, liability stands frozen 
and no additional provision is required except for interest as applicable to Provident Fund, which is provided for. 

In  respect  of  certain  eLKB  employees  who  moved  to  a  CTC  structure  and  had  completed  service  of  more  than  15  years, 
pension  would  be  paid  on  separation  based  on  salary  applicable  as  on  the  date  of  movement  to  CTC  structure.  Provision 
thereto is made based on actuarial valuation as at the Balance Sheet date conducted by an independent actuary.

HDFC Securities Limited

Short term

Short term employee benefits include salaries and performance incentives. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to 
be paid under short term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or informal obligation to pay 
this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. These costs are 
recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid over the period 
of services rendered by the employees to the Company.

Long term

The Company offers its employees long term benefits by way of defined-contribution and defined-benefit plans, of which some 
have assets in special funds or securities. The plans are financed by the Company and in the case of some defined contribution 
plans by the Company along with its employees.

Defined-contribution plans

These are plans in which the Company pays pre-defined amounts to separate funds and does not have any legal or informal 
obligation  to  pay  additional  sums. These  comprise  of  contributions  to  the  National  Pension  Scheme,  Employees’  Provident 
Fund, Family Pension Fund and Superannuation Fund. The Company’s payments to the defined-contribution plans are reported 
as expenses during the period in which the employees perform the services that the payment covers.

For the year ended March 31, 2016

Defined-benefit plans

Expenses for defined-benefit gratuity plan are calculated as at the Balance Sheet date by an independent actuary in a manner 
that distributes expenses over the employee’s working life. These commitments are valued at the present value of the expected 
future payments, with consideration for calculated future salary increases, using a discount rate corresponding to the interest 
rate estimated by the actuary having regard to the interest rate on government bonds with a remaining term that is almost 
equivalent to the average balance working period of employees. The fair values of the plan assets are deducted in determining 
the net liability. When the fair value of plan assets exceeds the commitments computed as aforesaid, the recognised asset is 
limited to the net total of any cumulative past service costs and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form 
of reductions in future contributions to the plan. Actuarial losses or gains are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in 
the year in which they arise.

Other employee benefits

Compensated absences which accrue to employees and which can be carried to future periods but are expected to be availed 
in twelve months immediately following the year in which the employee has rendered service are reported as expenses during 
the year in which the employees perform the services that the benefit covers and the liabilities are reported at the undiscounted 
amount of the benefits. 

Where there are restrictions on availment of such accrued benefit or where the availment is otherwise not expected to wholly 
occur in the next twelve months, the liability on account of the benefit is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit 
method.

Share-based payment transactions

Equity  settled  stock  options  granted  under  the  Company’s  Employee  Stock  Option  Schemes  are  accounted  for  as  per  the 
accounting  treatment  prescribed  by  the  Guidance  Note  on  Employee  Share-based  Payments  issued  by  the  Institute  of 
Chartered Accountants of India. The intrinsic value of the option being excess of fair value of the underlying share immediately 
prior to date of grant over its exercise price is recognised as deferred employee compensation with a credit to employee stock 
option outstanding account. The deferred employee compensation is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss on straight line 
basis over the vesting period of the option. The options that lapse are reversed by a credit to employee compensation expense, 
equal to the amortised portion of value of lapsed portion and credit to deferred employee compensation expense equal to the 
unamortised portion.

HDB Financial Services Limited

Long term employee benefits 

Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity to all employees. The benefit is in the form of lump sum payments to vested employees 
on  resignation,  retirement  or  death  while  in  employment  or  on  termination  of  employment  of  an  amount  equivalent  to  15 
days  basic  salary  payable  for  each  completed  year  of  service.  Vesting  occurs  upon  completion  of  five  years  of  service.  
The Company makes annual contributions to fund administered by trustees and managed by insurance companies for amounts 
notified by the said insurance companies. The defined benefit plan are valued by an independent external actuary as at the 
Balance Sheet date using the projected unit credit method to determine the present value of defined benefit obligation and 
the related service costs. Under this method, the determination is based on actuarial calculations, which include assumptions 
about demographics, early retirement, salary increases and interest rates. Actuarial gain or loss is recognised in the Statement 
of Profit and Loss.

Provident fund

In  accordance  with  the  applicable  law,  all  employees  of  the  Company  are  entitled  to  receive  benefits  under  the  Provident 
Fund Act, 1952. The Company contributes an amount, on a monthly basis, at a determined rate (currently 12% of employee’s 
basic salary) to the Pension Scheme administered by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (RPFC) and the Company 
has no liability for future provident fund benefits other than its annual contribution. Since it is a defined contribution plan, the 
contributions are accounted for on an accrual basis and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

11  Bullion

HDFC Bank Limited

supplier. The Bank earns a fee on such wholesale bullion transactions. The fee is classified under commission income.

The Bank also sells bullion to its retail customers. The difference between the sale price to customers and actual price paid to 
the supplier is recorded under commission income.

12  Lease accounting

Group

Lease payments including cost escalation for assets taken on operating lease are recognised in the Statement of Profit and 
Loss over the lease term on a straight-line basis in accordance with the AS-19, Leases.

13 

Income tax

Group

Income tax expense comprises current tax provision (i.e. the amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with the 
Income Tax Act, 1961, the rules framed there under and considering the material principles set out in Income Computation and 
Disclosure Standards) and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are recognised for the future tax consequences of timing differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and 
their respective tax bases, and operating loss carried forward, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the 
enacted or substantively enacted tax rates as at the Balance Sheet date. 

Current tax assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities are off-set when they relate to income taxes levied by 
the same taxation authority, when the Bank has a legal right to off-set and when the Bank intends to settle on a net basis.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future.  
In case of unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there 
is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and appropriately 
adjusted to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain to be realised.

14  Earnings per share

Group

The Group reports basic and diluted earnings per equity share in accordance with AS-20, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings 
per  equity  share  has  been  computed  by  dividing  net  profit  for  the  year  attributable  to  equity  shareholders  by  the  weighted 
average  number  of  equity  shares  outstanding  for  the  period.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  reflect  the  potential  dilution  that 
could  occur  if  securities  or  other  contracts  to  issue  equity  shares  were  exercised  or  converted  to  equity  during  the  year.  
Diluted earnings per equity share are computed using the weighted average number of equity shares and the dilutive potential 
equity shares outstanding during the period except where the results are anti-dilutive.

16  Segment information 

Group

The disclosure relating to segment information is in accordance with AS-17, Segment Reporting and as per guidelines issued 
by RBI. 

17  Accounting for provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Group 

In accordance with AS-29, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Group recognises provisions when it 
has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits 
will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. 

Provisions  are  determined  based  on  management  estimate  required  to  settle  the  obligation  at  the  Balance  Sheet  date, 
supplemented by experience of similar transactions. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect 
the current management estimates. 

A disclosure of contingent liability is made when there is:

(cid:115) 

(cid:115) 

a  possible  obligation  arising  from  a  past  event,  the  existence  of  which  will  be  confirmed  by  the  occurrence  or  non-
occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not within the control of the Group; or

a present obligation arising from a past event which is not recognised as it is not probable that an outflow of resources 
will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, 
no provision or disclosure is made.

Contingent assets, if any, are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that 
may never be realised.

Onerous contracts

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Bank from a contract are 
lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present 
value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. 
Before a provision is established, the Bank recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

18  Cash and cash equivalents 

Group

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, balances with RBI, balances with other banks and money at call and short 
notice.

Basic earnings per equity share have been computed by dividing net profit for the year attributable to the equity shareholders 
by  the  weighted  average  number  of  equity  shares  outstanding  for  the  year.  Diluted  earnings  per  equity  share  have  been 
computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of 
equity  shares  and  dilutive  potential  equity  shares  outstanding  during  the  year,  except  where  the  results  are  anti-dilutive.  
The dilutive impact is on account of stock options granted to employees by the Bank. There is no impact of dilution on the 
profits in the current year and previous year.

Fair value methodology

The fair value of options used to compute proforma net income and earnings per equity share have been estimated on the 
dates of each grant using the binomial option-pricing model. The Bank estimates the volatility based on the historical share 
prices. 4,48,36,200 options were granted during the year ended March 31, 2016 (previous year: 4,16,59,000). The various 
assumptions considered in the pricing model for the ESOPs granted during the years ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 
2015 were:

The  fair  value  of  options  used  to  compute  proforma  net  income  and  earnings  per  equity  share  have  been  estimated  on 
the  dates  of  each  grant  using  the  Black-Scholes  model.  The  shares  of  Company  are  not  listed  on  any  stock  exchange. 
Accordingly, the Company has considered the volatility of the Company’s stock price as zero, since historical volatility of similar

Claims against the  Group 
not acknowledged as 
debts-taxation

The  Group  is  a  party  to  various  taxation  matters  in  respect  of  which  appeals  are  pending. 
The Group expects the outcome of the appeals to be favorable based on decisions on similar 
issues in the previous years by the appellate authorities, based on the facts of the case and 
the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961.

Claims against the Group 
not acknowledged as 
debts-others

The  Group  is  a  party  to  various  legal  proceedings  in  the  normal  course  of  business.  
The Group does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a material adverse 
effect on the Group’s financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.

Liability on account of  
forward exchange and 
derivative contracts

Guarantees given on 
behalf of constituents, 
acceptances, 
endorsements and other 
obligations

Other items for which 
the Group is contingently 
liable

The  Bank  enters  into  foreign  exchange  contracts,  currency  options,  forward  rate 
agreements,  currency  swaps  and  interest  rate  swaps  with  inter-bank  participants  on 
its  own  account  and  for  customers.  Forward  exchange  contracts  are  commitments  to 
buy  or  sell  foreign  currency  at  a  future  date  at  the  contracted  rate.  Currency  swaps 
are commitments to exchange cash flows by way of interest / principal in one currency 
against another, based on predetermined rates. Interest rate swaps are commitments to 
exchange fixed and floating interest rate cash flows. The notional amounts of financial 
instruments  such  as  foreign  exchange  contracts  and  derivatives  provide  a  basis  for 
comparison with instruments recognised on the Balance Sheet but do not necessarily 
indicate  the  amounts  of  future  cash  flows  involved  or  the  current  fair  value  of  the 
instruments and therefore, do not indicate the Bank’s exposure to credit or price risks. 
The  derivative  instruments  become  favorable  (assets)  or  unfavorable  (liabilities)  as  a 
result of fluctuations in market rates or prices relative to their terms.

As a part of its commercial banking activities the Bank issues documentary credit and 
guarantees  on  behalf  of  its  customers.  Documentary  credits  such  as  letters  of  credit 
enhance the credit standing of the Bank’s customers. Guarantees generally represent 
irrevocable assurances that the Bank will make payments in the event of the customer 
failing to fulfill its financial or performance obligations.

These  include:  a)  Credit  enhancements  in  respect  of  securitised-out  loans;  b)  Bills 
rediscounted by the Bank; c) Capital commitments; d) Underwriting commitments.

The  guidance  note  on  AS-15,  Employee  Benefits,  states  that  employer  established  provident  funds,  where  interest  is 
guaranteed  are  to  be  considered  as  defined  benefit  plans  and  the  liability  has  to  be  valued. The  Institute  of  Actuaries  of 
India (IAI) has issued a guidance note on valuation of interest rate guarantees on exempt provident funds. The actuary has 
accordingly valued the same and the Bank held a provision of Nil as on March 31, 2016 (previous year: ` 0.52 crore) towards 
the present value of the guaranteed interest benefit obligation. The actuary has followed deterministic approach as prescribed 
by the guidance note.

15  Segment Reporting

Business segments 

Business segments have been identified and reported taking into account, the target customer profile, the nature of products 
and  services,  the  differing  risks  and  returns,  the  organisation  structure,  the  internal  business  reporting  system  and  the 
guidelines prescribed by RBI. The Group operates in the following segments:

(a)  Treasury

The treasury segment primarily consists of net interest earnings from the Bank’s investments portfolio, money market 
borrowing  and  lending,  gains  or  losses  on  investment  operations  and  on  account  of  trading  in  foreign  exchange  and 
derivative contracts.

(b)  Retail banking

The retail banking segment of the Bank serves retail customers through a branch network and other delivery channels. 
This  segment  raises  deposits  from  customers  and  provides  loans  and  other  services  to  customers  with  the  help  of 
specialist product groups. Exposures are classified under retail banking taking into account the status of the borrower 
(orientation criterion), the nature of product, granularity of the exposure and the quantum thereof.

Revenues  of  the  retail  banking  segment  are  derived  from  interest  earned  on  retail  loans,  interest  earned  from  other 
segments  for  surplus  funds  placed  with  those  segments,  subvention  received  from  dealers  and  manufacturers,  fees 
from services rendered, foreign exchange earnings on retail products etc. Expenses of this segment primarily comprise 
interest  expense  on  deposits,  commission  paid  to  retail  assets  sales  agents,  infrastructure  and  premises  expenses 
for  operating  the  branch  network  and  other  delivery  channels,  personnel  costs,  other  direct  overheads  and  allocated 
expenses of specialist product groups, processing units and support groups.

(c)  Wholesale banking

The  wholesale  banking  segment  provides  loans,  non-fund  facilities  and  transaction  services  to  large  corporates, 
emerging  corporates,  public  sector  units,  government  bodies,  financial  institutions  and  medium  scale  enterprises. 
Revenues  of  the  wholesale  banking  segment  consist  of  interest  earned  on  loans  made  to  customers,  interest  /  fees 
earned on the cash float arising from transaction services, earnings from trade services and other non-fund facilities 
and also earnings from foreign exchange and derivative transactions on behalf of customers. The principal expenses 
of  the  segment  consist  of  interest  expense  on  funds  borrowed  from  external  sources  and  other  internal  segments, 
premises  expenses,  personnel  costs,  other  direct  overheads  and  allocated  expenses  of  delivery  channels,  specialist 
product groups, processing units and support groups.

(d)  Other banking business

This  segment  includes  income  from  para  banking  activities  such  as  credit  cards,  debit  cards,  third  party  product 
distribution, primary dealership business and the associated costs. This segment also includes Bank’s subsidiaries.

(e)  Unallocated

 All items which are reckoned at an enterprise level are classified under this segment. This includes capital and reserves, 
debt  classified  as  Tier  I  or  Tier  II  capital  and  other  unallocable  assets  and  liabilities  such  as  deferred  tax,  prepaid 
expenses, etc.

Segment revenue includes earnings from external customers plus earnings from funds transferred to other segments. 
Segment result includes revenue less interest expense less operating expense and provisions, if any, for that segment. 
Segment-wise income and expenses include certain allocations. Interest income is charged by a segment that provides 
funding to another segment, based on yields benchmarked to an internally approved yield curve or at a certain agreed 
transfer price rate. Transaction charges are levied by the retail banking segment to the wholesale banking segment for 
the use by its customers of the retail banking segment’s branch network or other delivery channels. Such transaction 
costs are determined on a cost plus basis. Segment capital employed represents the net assets in that segment.

DISCLOSURES

Material Subsidiary

The  Bank  has  2  subsidiaries  namely-  HDB  Financial  Services 
Limited and HDFC Securities Limited, neither of which qualifies 
to be a material subsidiary within the meaning of the SEBI Listing 
Regulations. However, as a good corporate governance practice, 
the  Bank  has  formulated  a  policy  for  determining  material 
subsidiary.  The  policy  is  available  on  the  Bank’s  website  at  
http://www.hdfcbank.com/htdocs/common/pdf/Policy-for-
determining-material-subsidiary.pdf.

During  the  year  the  Bank  has  not  entered  into  any  materially 
significant 
the 
management,  subsidiaries  or  relatives  of  the  Directors,  which 
could  lead  to  a  potential  conflict  of  interest  between  the  Bank 
and  these  parties,  other  than  the  transactions  entered  into  in 
the normal course of business. Transactions with related parties 
entered into by the Bank in the normal course of business were

the  normal  course  of  business,  nor  were  there  any  material 
transactions with related parties or others, which were not at an 
arm’s length basis. Details of related party transactions entered into 
during the year ended March 31, 2016 are given in Schedule 18, 
Note  No.  27  forming  part  of ‘Notes  to  Accounts’. The  Bank  has 
put  in  place  a  policy  to  deal  with  related  party  transactions  and 
the  same  has  been  uploaded  on  the  Bank’s  web-site  at  http://

Commodity  Price  Risks  and  Foreign  Exchange  Risks  and 
hedging activities

future contracts or as may be specified by the relevant authority from 
time to time. All open positions are marked to market based on the 
settlement  price  and  the  resultant  marked  to  market  profit  /  loss  is 
settled daily with the exchange.

Foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  outstanding  on  the  balance 
sheet  date  that  are  not  intended  for  trading  and  are  entered  into 
to  establish  the  amount  of  reporting  currency  required  or  available 
on  the  settlement  date  of  a  transaction,  to  meet  a  balance  sheet 
transaction, are effectively valued at the closing spot rate. The premia 
or discount arising at the inception of such forward exchange contract 
is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract.

Being  in  the  banking  business,  the  Bank  does  not  deal  in 
any  “commodity”.  The  Bank  may,  however,  be  exposed  to  the 
commodity price risks of its customers in its capacity as lender/ 
banker.

Contingent  liabilities  on  account  of  foreign  exchange  contracts, 
currency future contracts, guarantees, letters of credit, acceptances 
and endorsements are reported at closing rates of exchange notified 
by FEDAI as at the Balance Sheet date.

The Bank being an authorised dealer, deals in foreign exchange 
and  derivative  transactions  with  various  counterparties,  both 
interbank and customers, in accordance with the RBI guidelines. 
Thus,  as  part  of  foreign  exchange  trading,  the  Bank  enters  into 
foreign exchange contracts such as spot, outright forwards, forex 
swaps, currency options, long term forwards, currency and interest 
rate  swaps  and  exchange  traded  products  in  specific  currency 
pairs. These contracts are managed in the trading portfolio within 
the forex trading risk limits viz. Net overnight open position limit, 
Intraday  open  position  limit,  Gap  limits, Value-at-Risk  limit,  Stop 
Loss Trigger Level, Sensitivity limit and Delta stipulated as part of 
the Bank’s Treasury Limits Package. In addition, Bank also enters 
into foreign exchange contracts to hedge the currency risk in the 
balance sheet on account of foreign currency deposits and loans, 
which are managed as hedge positions as per extant guidelines.

The  Foreign  exchange  spot, 
forward  and  swap  contracts 
outstanding as on the Balance Sheet date, that are held for trading, 
are revalued at the closing spot and forward rates respectively as 
notified by FEDAI (Foreign Exchange Dealers’ Assocation of India) 
and  at  interpolated  rates  for  contracts  of  interim  maturities. The 
USD-INR rate for valuation of contracts having longer maturities 
i.e.  greater  than  one  year,  is  implied  from  MIFOR  and  LIBOR 
curves. For other currency pairs, where the rates / tenors are not 
published by FEDAI, the forward points are obtained from Reuters 
for valuation of the Foreign Exchange deals. The forex profit or loss 
is arrived on present value basis thereafter, as directed by FEDAI, 
whereby the forward profits or losses on the deals, as computed 
above, are discounted till the valuation date using the discounting 
yields. The resulting profit or loss on valuation is recognised in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss.

Currency  future  contracts  are  marked  to  market  daily  using 
settlement  price  on  a  trading  day,  which  is  the  closing  price  of 
the respective futures contracts on that day. The daily settlement 
price is computed on the basis of the last half an hour weighted 
average  price  of  such  contract,  while,  the  final  settlement  price 
is taken as the RBI reference rate on the last trading day of the 

Accounting Treatment

Strictures and Penalties

COMPLIANCE WITH MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS

During the current year there were no penalties imposed on the Bank.

During  the  financial  year  2014-15,  the  RBI  carried  out  a  scrutiny 
of  a  corporate  borrower’s  accounts  maintained  with  12  banks, 
including  HDFC  Bank. The  RBI  had  issued  show  cause  notices  to 
these  banks  in  March  2014  and  based  on  its  assessment,  the  RBI 
in  its  press  release  dated  July  25,  2014,  levied  penalties  totalling  
` 1.5 crore on the 12 banks. The RBI levied a penalty of ` 0.05 crore on  
HDFC Bank on the grounds that the Bank failed to exchange information 
about  the  conduct  of  the  corporate  borrower’s  account  with  other 
banks  at  intervals  as  prescribed  in  the  RBI  guidelines  on ‘Lending 
under  Consortium  Arrangement  /  Multiple  Banking  Arrangements’.  
The penalty has since been paid.

reporting  attempted  suspicious 

During  the  previous  year  2014-15,  FIU  had  imposed  a  penalty  of  
Rs  26  lakhs  in  26  cases  reported  by  Cobrapost.com,  stating  that 
there  was  a  failure  in  the  Bank’s  internal  mechanism  for  detecting  
transactions.  The  Bank  
and 
has filed an appeal before the Appellate Tribunal, Prevention of Money 
Laundering Act at New Delhi against the impugned order stating that 
there were only roving enquiries made by the reporters of Cobrapost.
com  and  there  were  no  instances  of  any  attempted  suspicious 
transactions. The hearing of the appeal is still in progress. 

During  2013-14  a  www.Cobrapost.com  release  claimed  to  have 
carried out a sting operation named “Operation Red Spider” on banks 
over a period of several months. The allegations made in the release 
indicated that banks including HDFC Bank could assist in channelizing 
vast  amounts  of  black  money  into  the  regular  banking  system  as 
laundered  white  money.  The  Bank  had  immediately  engaged  the 
services of M/s Amarchand & Mangaldas and Suresh A. Shroff & Co., 
to coordinate and advise the Bank on legal issues in respect of the 
potential allegations posted by Cobrapost.com. M/s Deloitte Touche 
Tohmatsu India Pvt. Ltd was appointed by the said firm to carry out 
an  independent  forensic  investigation.  Further,  the  RBI  had  also 
conducted a special scrutiny into the matter. The scrutiny did not bring 
out any incident of money laundering. However certain irregularities/
violations were found by the RBI with respect to adherence to KYC 
for  walk-in  customers  for  sale  of  third  party  insurance  products, 
arrangement  of  at-par  payments  of  cheques  drawn  by  co-operative 
banks, exceptions in risk profiling in some cases, sale of gold coins 
against cash in excess of INR 50,000/- in few cases etc. Based on its 
assessment, the RBI imposed a monetary penalty of INR 4.5 crore on 
the Bank in June 2013, which has since been paid. In the light of the 
observations / violations reported by RBI, the Bank has taken steps 
to  further  strengthen  its  controls  and  processes  in  the  said  areas 
including discontinuation of sale of third party products and gold to 
non-customers  and  further  tightening  the  process  with  respect  to 
arrangement with co-operative banks and risk profiling of customers.

Other than the above, no penalties or strictures were imposed on the 
Bank  by  any  of  the  Stock  Exchanges  or  any  statutory  authority  on 
any matter relating to capital markets, during the last three (3) years.

The  Bank  has  complied  with  all  the  applicable  mandatory 
requirements  of  the  Code  of  Corporate  Governance  as 
prescribed under the SEBI Listing Regulations. 

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

The  Bank  has  put  in  place  a  mechanism  for  performance

Various modes for making payment of Dividends under Electronic mode:

In case the shareholder has updated the complete and correct Bank account details (including 9 digit MICR Code and 11 
digit IFSC code) before the record date fixed for the purpose of payment of dividend, then the Bank shall make the payment 
of dividend to such shareholder under any one of the following modes:

1.  National Automated Clearing House (NACH)

2.  National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT)

3.  Direct credit in case the bank account is with HDFC Bank Limited.

In case dividend payment by electronic mode is returned or rejected by the corresponding bank due to some reason, then 
the  Bank  will  issue  a  dividend  warrant  and  print  the  Bank  account  details  available  on  its  records  on  the  said  dividend 
warrant to avoid fraudulent encashment of the warrants. 

Unclaimed Dividends

As per the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, the Bank is statutorily required to transfer to the Investor Education 
&  Protection  Fund  (IEPF)  all  dividends  remaining  unclaimed  for  a  period  of  7  (Seven)  years  from  the  date  they  became 
due for payment. Once such amounts are transferred to IEPF, no claim of the shareholder shall lie against the Bank or the 
IEPF. Dividends for and up to the financial year ended March 31, 2008 have already been transferred to the IEPF and the 
dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2009 will be transferred to IEPF after July 13, 2016. The details of unclaimed
