Banking on Bharat

Banking in rural areas has not been able to keep up with the 
growth  in  urban  banking.  But  we  have  strived  to  create  a 
responsive,  sustainable,  and  all-encompassing  ecosystem, 
which is key to India’s economic upliftment. 

More  than  half  of  the  bank’s  branches  are  in  semi-urban 
and rural areas, demonstrating our commitment to promote 
rural banking. 

Rural Banking Group
Farmers are the backbone of our country’s economy, integral 
to its eventual growth and development. The bank’s principal 
objective is to empower rural India. 

The bank has penetrated several remote geographies through 
its  flagship  product,  the  Kisan  Gold  Card.  It  has  covered 
approximately 60,000 villages so far. The bank has designed a 
range  of  crop  and  geography-specific  products  based  on 
respective harvest cycles and the local needs of farmers based 
in diverse agro-climatic zones across India. Exclusive products 
ensure  credit  for  activities  allied  to  agriculture  such  as  dairy, 
pisciculture and sericulture. 

The  bank  has  established  a  footprint  in  the  hinterlands 
leveraging  its  extensive  know-how  of  rural  customers  and 
delivering  the  right  products  at  affordable  prices  with  rapid 
turnaround times. 

Technology  and  deep  branch  penetration  have  enabled  the 
bank  to  deliver  agricultural  loans  within  three  to  four  working 
days in certain geographies. Additionally, an eligible farmer can 
avail of an enhancement to a loan in a few seconds using ATMs 
or mobile phones.

The  bank  also  offers  many  other  credit  products  such  as 
two-wheeler  loans,  car  loans,  and  mortgage  loans  to  bolster 
financial inclusion in rural areas. Specific needs are addressed 
with  individualised  offerings  to  manage  multiple  consumption 
requirements.  The  bank  has  shifted  from  a  product-centric 
approach to a customer-centric one to expand its presence in 
rural territories in a cost-effective manner. 

With  a  sound  knowledge  of  the  rural  ecosystem,  the  bank 
endeavors to augment penetration of the liability base in rural 
geographies. The bank has a symbiotic relationship with rural 
customers and is making efforts to empower them by providing 
technical support, besides offering financial products. 

Kisan  Dhan  Vikas  Kendras,  launched  across  the  country
as  a  part  of  these  efforts,  can  help  a  farmer  with  free  Soil
Health  Cards,  Mandi  prices,  financial  literacy,  digital  literacy, 
information on various government initiatives, etc.

Farmers  can  avail  the  benefits  of  these  services  online  on 
the  bank’s  website  at  Kisan  Dhan  Vikas  e-Kendras.  This 
service  is  available  in  multiple  vernacular  languages.  The 

bank is constantly striving to improve the platform to make 
it  more  user-friendly  considering  the  requirements  of  the 
rural population.

The  bank,  through  various  collaborative  efforts,  provides  free 
SMS advice on weather, cropping and harvesting. 

Further,  HDFC  Bank  digitized  payments  at  over  1,200  milk 
cooperatives across the nation. The move is part of the bank's 
Milk  to  Money  (M2M)  program,  benefitting  3.2  lakh  dairy 
farmers in 16 states. M2M aims to bring dairy farmers into the 
organized banking system by digitizing the supply chain, with 
specific  and  customized  products  targeted  at  satisfying  their 
banking and financial needs. 

M2M  ATMs  at  large  collection  centers  are  equipped  with  cash 
have  business 
dispensers.  Smaller 
correspondents who operate micro ATMs allowing dairy farmers 
to withdraw cash from their accounts.

collection  points 

The program has enunciated greater transparency in the milk 
collection  process  impacting  society  at  large  by  eradicating 
cash  management  worries.  A  credit  history  is  also  generated 
which  helps  farmers  take  out  loans  or  avail  other  banking 
products.    Further,  the  society  functioning  as  a  business 
correspondent  is  able  to  distribute  the  bank’s  products  to  all 
households in the catchment area. 

HDFC  Bank’s  Sustainable  Livelihood  Initiative  (SLI)  aims  to 
include  and  uplift  households  at  the  bottom  of  the  pyramid.  
The bank has adopted a holistic approach that encompasses 
occupational training, financial literacy, and credit counselling 
to  empower  people.  Self-Help  Groups  and  Joint-Liability 
Groups have been instrumental in helping the bank accelerate 
its  direct  linkage  program.  The  bank  aims  to  reach  out  to
1  crore  households  with  the  initiative,  for  which  it  has  hired 
thousands of employees. 

important 

institutions.  The  National  Bank 

The SLI program has been hugely successful, which has been 
noted  by 
for 
Agriculture and Rural Development has commended the bank’s 
SLI  program  in  its  publication,  The  Status  of  Microfinance  in 
India 2014-15. It recommended that HDFC Bank’s SLI model be 
studied for adoption by other banks. 

The bank has also been at the centre of crafting innovations 
in retail banking. It offers recharge facilities through missed 
calls.  The  move  is  targeted  at  semi-urban  and  rural 
customers.  The  idea  has  been  extended  to  include  fixed 
deposits and fund transfers. 

A  larger  proportion  of  the  bank’s  business  is  expected  to 
accrue  from  rural  banking  in  the  years  to  come.  With  rural 
household  incomes  on  the  rise,  the  bank  is  well  poised  to 
participate  in  the  expanding  demand  in  financial  services 
and products.

These vibrant and unique notions are actively propagated by 

the Indian government in its quest to empower and transform 

the nation’s social fabric for the better. 

Aadhaar pivots the bank’s financial inclusion strategy where 

every  bank  mitra  (business  correspondent)  is  equipped  with 

Aadhaar  and  e-KYC  enabled  micro-ATMs.  The  micro-ATMs 

allow customers to effectively action basic banking activities 

using  the  “power  of  the  thumb”.  Each  micro-ATM  is  fully 

compliant  with  contemporary  regulatory  standards  and 

enlightened  fiscal  choices,  imbibing  the  benefits  of  a  strong 

linkage  with  the  banking  system  and  its  various  digital 

pipelines  for  transactions.  Educational  material  for  financial 

literacy  is  printed  in  13  regional  languages,  simplifying  the 

dissemination of information among attendees. 

Till  date,  HDFC  Bank  has  carried  out  1.29  lakh  financial 

literacy  camps  through  its  various  educational  centers 

spread across schools, gram panchayats, self-help groups, 

and the like. A total of 11.68 lakh people have benefited from 

these programs.

these are some of our proudest achievements - and we remain 

committed  toward  the  creation  of  a  secure  and  thriving 

tomorrow for all of India’s populace.

The bank firmly believes in the importance of Aadhaar-linked 

accounts,  particularly  in  the  scenario  of  direct  benefit 

transfers  (DBT),  and  has  pledged  to  educate  and  inform  its 

customers  on  the  same.  Our  plan  enables  all  its  digital 

channels  to  become  Aadhaar-seeding  vehicles.  Customers 

can  use  a  variety  of  options  —  NetBanking,  PhoneBanking, 

MobileBanking, SMS, and ATM – to seed Aadhaar. 

The bank has consistently been a part of several social security 

schemes launched by the government, and is now recognized 

as a leader among the private sector banks involved in Pradhan 

Mantri  Jeevan  Jyoti  Bima  Yojana,  Pradhan  Mantri  Suraksha 

Bima Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana. 

For  FY  2016-17,  HDFC  Bank  disbursed  a  total  amount  of 

Rs.  5,522  crore  to  14.78  lakh  customers - thereby  achieving 

104% of the target fixed for the bank. Further, Rs. 147 crore was 

also disbursed by the bank under the Stand-Up India Program-

Directors' Report

To the Members,

Introduction:

Your Directors take great pleasure in presenting the 23rd Annual Report on the business and operations of your Bank, together with 
the audited accounts for the year ended March 31, 2017.

The year under review has been extremely satisfying with your Bank witnessing an increase in asset size, revenues and profitability. 
What is more, it was able to manage the bad loans much better than the industry. The metric that best captures performance is the 
domestic loan growth which stood at about 23.7 per cent against the overall banking system loan growth of around 5 per cent. The 
other key performance indicators are Balance Sheet size (up 16.6 per cent), Total Deposits (up 17.8 per cent), Net Profit (up 18.3 
per cent) and Net Interest Income (up 20.1 per cent). Cost to Income Ratio improved to 43.4 per cent. This assumes even more 
significance as it came in the face of demonetisation which led to growth pangs in the third quarter.

The performance is a reflection of the following: 

1) Leveraging digitization to improve customer experience, productivity and Cost to Income Ratio   

2) Consolidation of its lead over peers as India’s top Digital Bank in metro, urban, semi urban and rural markets

3) Establishing itself as India’s leading rural focused bank with unmatched reach, product range and innovation

4) Unique use of artificial intelligence and data analytics to sharpen product offering

It is also an outcome of a strong brand built on the twin engines of customer and community centricity. As you are aware, your Bank 
has been ‘Creating Sustainable Communities’ through its social initiatives which help people break out of the vicious circle of poverty 
and enable them to lead a better life. In pursuance of the Board mandate to make 1 crore families economically self-reliant, we are 
happy to report that 68 lakh families at the bottom of the pyramid have already been covered. We are also proud to state that during 
the year, your Bank has crossed the mandatory 2 per cent CSR spend.

Last but not the least, words cannot be enough to thank our employees who made all this possible. Especially during demonetisation 
when they were faced with chaos and crises by the day and went beyond the call of duty.

Subsidiary Companies

Your Bank has two subsidiaries, HDB Financial Services Limited

financial performance of the companies is given below.

HDB Financial Services Limited

HDBFSL  is  a  leading  Non-Banking  Financial  Company  that

of  1,151  branches  in  22  states  and  3  Union Territories.  Using

asset finance products to individuals, emerging businesses, and 
micro  enterprises  across  manufacturing,  trading  and  services 
sectors.  Additionally,  the  company  provides  Business  Process 
Outsourcing (BPO) solutions to HDFC Bank.

In  the  year  under  review,  HDBFSL’s  Net  Interest  Income  grew 
by  41  per  cent  to  `  2,037.2  crore  from  `  1,444.5  crore  in  the 
previous year. Net Profit rose 28 per cent to ` 684.2 crore from 
` 534.4 crore.

HDBFSL is rated AAA for its long-term debt and A1+ for its short-
term debt facilities by CARE & CRISIL respectively indicating the 
highest  degree  of  safety  regarding  timely  servicing  of  financial 
obligations.

Under  the  scheme  of  amalgamation  approved  by  the  Bombay 
and  Gujarat  High  Courts,  two  associate  companies,  Atlas 
Documentary Facilitators Company Private Limited (ADFC) and

marketing and promotion services while ADFC was in the BPO 
business.

In  the  year  under  review,  HDBFSL  raised  `  1,099.4  crore 
through a rights issue. This resulted in a higher capital base and 
Capital  Adequacy  Ratio  (CAR)  of  20.8  per  cent,  well  beyond 
the mandatory requirement of 15 per cent. The proceeds of this 
issue will be utilised for capital expenditure, working capital and 
business growth. As on March 31, 2017, your Bank held 96.2 per 
cent stake in the company.

HDFC Securities Limited

HDFC  Securities  Limited  (HSL)  is  among  India’s  largest  retail

(transacting) customers among all broking houses.

Directors' Report

In  the  year  under  review,  the  capital  markets  surged  on  the 
back of a good monsoon, higher FII inflows, improved corporate 
performance  and  the  passing  of  the  Goods  and  Services Tax 
Bill. This is reflected in the company’s performance.

HSL’s Total Income grew by 37.7 per cent to ` 553.2 crore from  
` 401.6 crore in the previous year. Net Profit grew by 61.9 per 
cent to ` 215.9 crore from ` 133.3 crore.

Digital channels remain a core focus with more than 20 per cent 
of  customers  transacting  through  the  mobile  app  and  overall 
68  per  cent  of  customers  being  serviced  digitally.  In  line  with 
its increased thrust on digitisation, HSL added 11 branches in 
the year under review as against 12 in the previous year. As on 
March 31, 2017, it had 273 branches.

During the year under review, HSL won three prestigious PFRDA 
Awards for National Pension Scheme (NPS), viz. Best Point of 
Presence (POP) All Citizen, Best POP NPS Corporate and Best 
POP NPS Private Sector. It was adjudged runner up in the Best 
e-Brokerage category at the Outlook Money Awards 2016.

As  on  March  31,  2017,  your  Bank  held  97.9  per  cent  stake  in 
HSL.

The  annual  reports  of  HDBFSL  and  HSL  are  available  on 
the  website  of  the  Bank  (www.hdfcbank.com).  Shareholders 
who  wish  to  have  a  copy  of  the  annual  accounts  and  detailed 
information may write to the Bank. These documents shall also 
be  available  for  inspection  by  shareholders  at  the  registered 
offices of the Bank and its two subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Macroeconomic and Industry Developments

India’s  economy  recorded  a  growth  rate  of  7.1  per  cent  in 
terms  of  real  Gross  Domestic  Product  (GDP)  in  2016-17.  
While  agriculture  growth  rose  to  4.4  per  cent  in  2016-17  from 
0.8 per cent in 2015-16, services sector growth declined to 7.9 
per  cent  from  9.8  per  cent  during  the  same  period.  Inflation 
moderated,  with  the  average  level  of  Consumer  Price  Inflation 
declining to an estimated level of 4.6 per cent in 2016-17 from 
4.9 per cent in 2015-16. Foreign Direct Investment inflows (FDI) 
increased by 12 per cent in the April–December period of 2016 
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 led to the decline in inflation. Meanwhile, 
a close to normal monsoon, liberalisation of FDI rules and higher 
government  capital  expenditure  supported  domestic  economic 
growth in 2016-17. While the cash-squeeze in the third quarter 

of the year under review had an impact on private consumption, 
there has been a speedy recovery in consumer demand since 
then.

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 on account of 
policy uncertainty in the US and a slew of impending elections 
in Europe.

The  growth  inflation  mix  should  continue  to  remain  broadly 
unchanged in 2017-18. 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 7th Central Pay Commission Awards should boost consumer 
spending.  Going  forward,  headline  GDP  growth  is  likely  to 
increase to 7.5 per cent in 2017-18 from 7.1 per cent in 2016-17.

Financial Performance

The financial performance of your Bank during the year ended 
March 31, 2017 remained healthy with Total Net Revenues (Net 
Interest Income plus Other Income) increasing by 18.5 per cent 
to ` 45,435.7 crore from ` 38,343.2 crore in the previous year. 
Revenue growth was driven by an increase in both Net Interest 
Income  and  Other  Income.  Net  Interest  Income  grew  by  20.1 
per cent due to acceleration in loan growth coupled with a core  
Net  Interest  Margin  (NIM)  of  4.3  per  cent  in  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2017.

Other Income grew 14.4 per cent to ` 12,296.5 crore. The largest 
component was fees and commissions, which increased by 13.6 
per  cent  to  `  8,812  crore.  Foreign  exchange  and  derivatives 
revenue  was  `  1,263.4  crore,  gain  on  revaluation  and  sale  of 
investments was ` 1,139.4 crore and recoveries from written-off 
accounts was ` 864.3 crore in the year under review.

Operating  (Non-Interest)  Expenses  increased  to  `  19,703.3 
crore from ` 16,979.7 crore. During the year under review, your 
Bank  opened  195  new  branches  and  260  ATMs.  This,  along 
with  strong  growth  in  retail  asset  and  card  products  resulted 
in  higher  infrastructure  and  staffing  expenses.  Staff  expenses 
also increased on account of annual wage revisions. Despite the 
addition to the infrastructure, your Bank’s Cost to Income Ratio 
improved to 43.4 per cent.

Total  Provisions  &  Contingencies  was  `  3,593.3  crore  as 
to  `  2,725.6  crore.  Your  Bank’s  provisioning 
compared 
policies  remain  more  stringent  than  regulatory  requirements.  
The  Coverage  Ratio  based  on  specific  provisions  alone 
excluding write-offs stood at around 69 per cent and including 
general and floating provisions around 130 per cent as on March 
31, 2017. Your Bank made General Provisions of ` 392.2 crore 
during the year.

In the year under review, your Bank’s Profit Before Tax grew by 
18.8 per cent to ` 22,139.1 crore. After providing for Income Tax 
of ` 7,589.4 crore, the Net Profit increased by 18.3 per cent to 
` 14,549.7 crore from ` 12,296.2 crore. Return on Average Net 
Worth was 18 per cent while the Basic Earnings Per Share was 
` 57.2 up from ` 48.8.

into  rupees  with  RBI  at  a  concessional  rate)  during  the  year 
ended March 31, 2014. Current Account and Savings Account 
(CASA) Deposit growth witnessed a spurt during the year under

Business Segments Update

Retail Banking

Your  Bank  follows  a  multi-channel  strategy  to  reach  out  to  its 
customers bringing to them choice, convenience and a superior 
experience.  Innovation  has  been  the  springboard  of  growth  in 
this segment. So has a strong focus on analytics and Customer 
Relationship  Management  (CRM)  which  has  helped  the  Bank 
know  the  customer  better  and  offer  tailor-made  solutions. This 
leads to deeper customer engagement in a cost effective manner.

The  growth  in  your  Bank’s  retail  banking  business  was  robust 
during  the  year  under  review.  Total  Retail  Deposits  grew  by  
17.7 per cent to ` 5,06,843 crore on the back of a higher than 
usual CASA which, thanks to demonetisation, grew at 32.9 per 
cent.

Auto Loans, Personal Loans and Credit Cards accounted for a 
bulk  of  the  retail  business  revenues. Your  Bank  is  a  leader  in 
the Auto Loans segment with a strong presence in commercial 
vehicle and two wheeler financing.

The Bank’s Retail Advances grew by 18.9 per cent to ` 2,95,161 
crore.

During  the  year  under  review,  your  Bank  added  195  branches

2,657  cities/towns.  Number  of  ATMs  increased  to  12,260  from 

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2016-17

Directors' Report

12,000  during  the  same  period.  The  Bank  grew  its  customer 
base  to  4.05  crore  from  3.77  crore  with  a  continued  focus  on 
semi-urban  and  rural  markets  that  accounted  for  more  than  
52 per cent of its branches.

In  Credit  Cards,  the  Bank’s  focus  on  existing  customers 
continued, who accounted for about 75 per cent of the new cards 
issued with the number of Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminals crossing  
4.25 lakh. What is more, the transactions on these witnessed a 
sharp spurt in the third quarter due to demonetisation.

In addition to this, the Bank operates in the Home Loan business 
in conjunction with HDFC Limited. As per this arrangement, the 
former  sells  loans  provided  by  the  latter  through  its  branches, 
while  the  latter  approves  and  disburses  it. The  Bank  receives 
sourcing fee for these loans and has the option to purchase up 
to  70  per  cent  of  the  fully  disbursed  loans  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. Your  Bank  originated,  on  an  average,  `  1,500 
crore  of  Home  Loans  every  month  in  the  year  under  review.  
It  also  purchased  loans  worth  `  13,146  crore  under  the ‘Loan 
Assignment’ route during the year ended March 31, 2017.

Your  Bank  also  distributes  Life  Insurance,  General  Insurance 
and  Mutual  Fund  products  through  its  tie-ups  with  insurance 
companies  and  mutual  fund  houses.  Third  Party  Distribution 
Income contributed approximately 16 per cent of total fee income 
for the year ended March 31, 2017, compared to 14 per cent in 
the previous year.

Wholesale Banking

Like in retail, the Wholesale Banking business logged a strong 
growth ending the year under review with a loan book of about 
`  2,63,000  crore  constituting  47  per  cent  of  the  Bank’s  total 
book.  It  grew  20.1  per  cent  in  the  year  under  review  catering 
to  institutional  customers  like  large  and  emerging  corporates, 
and SMEs. Government business is another major contributor.  
The  breadth  of  offering  includes  Working  Capital  and  Term 
Loans as well as Trade, Cash Management, Foreign Exchange 
and Investment Banking services.

Growth came primarily on the back of impeccable execution of your 
Bank’s time-tested strategy of offering customers a wide range of 
products and services, customisation and cross selling. Dedicated 
Relationship  Managers  helped  in  the  customisation  and  cross 
selling process. Technology further aided to improve the customer 
experience. All this led to higher share of customer wallet.

Corporate  Banking,  which  focuses  on  large  and  well  rated 
companies  was  the  biggest  contributor  with  its  asset  size 

growing  by  over  20  per  cent  to  cross  `  1,25,000  crore  in  the 
year  under  review. This  growth  was  achieved,  in  an  otherwise 
subdued  credit  environment,  through  securing  a  higher  share 
of  the  customer  wallet,  addition  of  new  clients,  introduction  of 
differentiated product offerings in the market place and gaining 
market share from competition. It pioneered in creating products 
and  services  to  match  the  changing  market  dynamics  and 
customer behaviour. 

focuses  on 

Emerging  Corporates  Group,  which 
the  
mid-market  segment,  recorded  a  34  per  cent  growth  in  asset 
size  to  cross  `  65,000  crore  on  March  31,  2017. The  strength 
of  this  business  lies  in  its  diversified  portfolio  in  terms  of  both 
industry  and  geography.  Its  success  was  due  to  its  ability  to 
acquire a higher share of wallet from existing clients as well as 
securing new ones on the strength of a strong product offering 
plus a solution based approach.

The  Investment  Banking  business  cemented  its  prominent 
position  in  Debt  Capital  Markets.  A  testimony  to  this  is  the 
Bloomberg rankings of INR Bond book runners where your Bank 
was placed 2nd for two consecutive years.

In Government business, your Bank’s focus on tax collections 
continued to gather pace. In the year under review, the direct tax 
collected by your Bank was about ` 2.16 lakh crore and indirect 
tax ` 1.19 lakh crore. Apart from the several state Governments 
for which your Bank has been collecting taxes/duties, the Bank 
has also been authorised to collect GST.  Your Bank continues to 
enjoy its eminent position in both Cash Management Services 
(CMS)  and  Cash  Settlement  Services  for  major  stock  and 
commodity exchanges in the country.

In  line  with  the  Bank’s  drive  towards  digitisation,  it  has  further 
ensured  a  larger  conversion  of  cash  payments  into  electronic 
ones.  The  ‘Trade-on-Net’  offering  which  provides  customers 
access to a host of services like Remittances, Letters of Credit 
and Guarantees gained even greater acceptance.

International Operations

Your  Bank  currently  has  branches  at  three  locations  outside 
India. These are at Bahrain, Hong Kong and Dubai International 
Finance  Centre  (DIFC)  in  Dubai.  The  DIFC  branch  offers 
advisory services to High Net Worth Individuals and Corporates. 
Your Bank also has Representative Offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai 
and  Nairobi  which  are  engaged  in  promotional  and  marketing 
activities  of  the  Bank’s  brand  name  among  the  Non-Resident 
Indians.  As  on  March  31,  2017,  the  combined  balance  sheet 
size of overseas branches was around US $ 4 billion. Advances 
at these branches constituted close to 4 per cent of the Bank’s 
gross advances as on March 31, 2017. The total income of the 

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2016-17

21

Directors' Report

overseas branches constituted over 1.2 per cent of the Bank’s 
total income for the year.

Your Bank had mobilised US $ 3.4 billion in special FCNR (B) 
deposits  from  NRI  clients  under  RBI  swap  window  in  2013.  
As  a  major  portion  of  these  deposits  were  for  a  3-year  tenor,  
they came up for redemption during September-November 2016.  
US  $  3.02  billion  of  these  flowed  out  and  US  $  355.67  million 
was outstanding for the year ended March 31, 2017.

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  accrue  from  spreads  on  customer 
transactions  based  on  trade  flows  and  their  demonstrated 
hedging needs. Your Bank recorded revenues of ` 1,263.4 crore 
from  foreign  exchange  and  derivative  transactions  in  the  year 
under review. 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.

Your 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 crystallisation 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  crystallised  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 

the  Statutory  Liquidity  Ratio 

Given  the  regulatory  requirement  of  holding  government 
(SLR) 
securities 
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. Your 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.

Implementation of Indian Accounting Standards (IND-AS)

The  Ministry  of  Corporate  Affairs,  in  its  press  release  dated 
January 18, 2016, issued a roadmap for implementation of Indian 
Accounting  Standards  (IND-AS)  for  scheduled  commercial 
banks, insurers/insurance companies and non-banking financial 
companies. This roadmap requires these institutions to prepare 
IND-AS  based  financial  statements  for  the  accounting  periods 
beginning from April 1, 2018 onwards with comparatives for the 
periods  beginning  April  1,  2017  and  thereafter.  The  Reserve 
Bank  of  India  (RBI),  vide  its  circular  dated  February  11,  2016 
requires  all  scheduled  commercial  banks  to  comply  with  the 
Indian Accounting Standards (IND-AS) for financial statements 
for the periods stated above. RBI does not permit banks to adopt  
IND-AS  earlier  than  the  timelines  stated  above.  The  said 
guidelines also state that RBI shall issue necessary instructions/
guidance/clarifications on the relevant aspects for implementation 
of IND-AS as and when required.

Your  Bank  has  formed  a  steering  committee  comprising 
members  from  cross-functional  areas  for  the  purpose  of 
implementation  oversight.  Under  the  guidance  of  the  steering 
committee,  the  Bank  has  formed  working  groups,  including 
external  consultants,  dedicated  to  specific  functional  areas.  
The objective of these working groups is to undertake a review 
of the diagnostic analysis of the differences between the current 
accounting  framework  and  IND-AS,  review  the  accounting 
policy options provided under IND-AS 101-First Time Adoption, 
determine  the  methodologies  for  each  accounting  treatment, 
finalise process and system changes, review and update policies 
and incorporate in business planning any specific action points 
over  the  transition  period.  In  addition,  the  Audit  Committee  of 
the  Board  of  Directors  oversees  the  progress  of  the  IND-AS 
implementation process.

The  Bank  has  undertaken  a  diagnostic  analysis  of  the 
differences  between  the  current  accounting  framework  and  
IND-AS,  including  the  disclosure  requirements.The  Bank  is 
currently  in  the  process  of  finalising  its  accounting  policies 
under  IND-AS. The  Bank  has  evaluated  the  systems  requiring 
significant changes and identified additional system and process 
requirements for implementation of IND-AS. The Bank is engaging 
with  vendors  for  technology  solutions  for  implementation  of  
IND-AS. The Bank undertakes training programs for its personnel 
in business and support functions.

The implementation of IND-AS is expected to result in significant 
changes to the way the Bank prepares and presents its financial 
statements.  The  areas  that  are  expected  to  have  significant 
accounting impact on the application of IND-AS are summarised 
below:

Directors' Report

a)  Financial assets (which include advances and investments) 
shall be classified under amortised cost, fair value through 
other comprehensive income (a component of Reserves and 
Surplus)  or  fair  value  through  profit/loss  categories  on  the 
basis  of  the  nature  of  the  cash  flows  and  the  intention  of 
holding the financial assets.

b)  Interest will be recognised in the income statement using the 
effective  interest  method,  whereby  the  coupon,  fees  net  of 
transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts will be 
amortised over the life of the financial instrument. 

c)  Stock options will be required to be fair valued on the date 
of grant and be recognised as staff expense in the income 
statement over the vesting period of the stock options.

d)  The  impairment  requirements  of  IND-AS  109,  Financial 
Instruments,  are  based  on  an  Expected  Credit  Loss  (ECL) 
model that replaces the incurred loss model under the extant 
framework. The Bank will be generally required to recognise 
either  a  12-Month  or  Lifetime  ECL,  depending  on  whether 
there  has  been  a  significant  increase  in  credit  risk  since 
initial recognition. IND-AS 109 will change the Bank’s current 
methodology  for  calculating  the  provision  for  standard 
assets and non-performing assets (NPAs). The Bank will be 
required to apply a three-stage approach to measure ECL on 
financial instruments accounted for at amortised cost or fair 
value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets 
will migrate through the following three stages based on the 
changes in credit quality since initial recognition:

Stage 1: 12 Months ECL

For exposures which have not been assessed as credit-impaired 
or where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk 
since initial recognition, the portion of the ECL associated with 
the probability of default events occurring within the next twelve 
months will need to be recognised.

Stage 2: Lifetime ECL-Not Credit Impaired

For credit exposures where there has been a significant increase 
in credit risk since initial recognition but are not credit-impaired, 
a lifetime ECL will need to be recognised.

Stage 3: Lifetime ECL- Credit Impaired

Financial assets will be assessed as credit impaired when one 
or  more  events  having  a  detrimental  impact  on  the  estimated 
future  cash  flows  of  that  asset  have  occurred.  For  financial 
assets  that  have  become  credit  impaired,  a  lifetime  ECL  will 
need to be recognised.

Interest  revenue  will  be  recognised  at  the  original  effective 
interest  rate  applied  on  the  gross  carrying  amount  for  assets 
falling under stages 1 and 2 and on written down amount for the 
assets falling under stage 3.

e)  Accounting  impact  on  the  application  of  IND-AS  at  the 
transition date shall be recognised in Equity (Reserves and 
Surplus).

The list has only been growing. The recent ones being the ‘10 
Second Loan’ and ‘Digital Loan Against Securities’ (Digital LAS). 
Technology  has  enabled  your  Bank  to  improve  process  and 
system  efficiencies,  scale  up  and  offer  customer  convenience 
across  the  country. To  address  the  infrastructure  limitations  in 
deep geographies, branches and ATMs have been commissioned 
using both fixed line and mobile broadband telecom networks. 
Bandwidth acceleration and compression technology has been 
implemented to improve telecom network speeds in rural/semi 
urban  branches.  QuickBanking,  a  mobile  app  catering  to  the  
off-line Internet has been further enhanced this year to incorporate 
Unified  Payment  Interface  (UPI)  which  rides  on  the  USSD  2.0 
platform of National Payments Corporation of India and enables 
fund transfer to beneficiaries across banks on a 24*7 basis.

Cyber Security

Your  Bank  has  set  up  an  effective  governance  framework  to 
manage cyber security. A suitable organisational structure has 
been  put  in  place  to  monitor  various  cyber  security  threats 
and  minimize  them.  In  order  to  protect  critical  assets  from  
cyber  attacks,  the  Cyber  Security  Operations  Center  (SoC) 
operates on a 24*7 basis. In the year under review, your Bank 
further  enhanced  SoC  to  manage,  respond  and  resolve  cyber 
security incidents in an effective/timely manner.

continuously for early detection of any malware

A  testimony  to  the  Bank’s  crisis  preparedness  is  that  it  has 
secured  PCI  DSS  3.0  certification  and  ISO  27001  certification 
for  its  critical  information  assets.  Its  efforts  have  been  further 
recognized  through  awards  from  IDRBT,  DSCI-NASSCOM  for 
various cyber security initiatives.

Particularly in the year under review, your Bank made significant 
investments  in  strengthening  protection  against  Distributed 
Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and Web Application Firewall 
(WAF). Various  simulation  exercises  were  carried  out  to  learn 
from techniques like ethical hacking and smoke screen & decoy 
testing.  The  Bank  also  participated  in  IDBRT’s  cyber  security 
drills  to  identify  weak  links  and  strengthen  defence.  It  will 
continue  to  invest  further  in  the  coming  years  in  the  areas  of 
cyber security to take it to the next level.

During the year under review, it implemented a 3-way disaster 
recovery  solution  for  its  Core  Banking  platform.  This  ensured 
that Core Banking Systems went without any prolonged outage.   
In  addition,  your  Bank  has  a  well-rehearsed  disaster  recovery 
set-up,  so  as  to  ensure  99.5  per  cent  up-time  of  important 
applications.

branches, ATMs as well as the digital ones like the Internet and 
Mobile.  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. Mystery shopping activities using decoy customers 
are also undertaken across branches and retail asset centres to 
continuously evaluate regulatory compliance, process adherence 
and  quality  of  service  delivery  to  customers. The  findings  are 
worked  upon  using  Lean  and  Six  Sigma  methodologies  to 
bring  in  process  improvements.  The  effectiveness  of  these 
measures  is  reviewed  periodically  at  different  levels  including 
the  Customer  Service  Committee  of  the  Board.  In  addition  to 
the  aforementioned  measures,  in  compliance  with  regulatory 
guidelines, your Bank has appointed a senior retired banker as 
Internal Ombudsman.

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

Risk Management and Portfolio Quality

The Bank is exposed to risk by the very nature of its business.

These  material  risks  are  factored  in  while  determining  the 
capital  requirements.  The  most  important  of  these  are  Credit 
Risk,  Market  Risk,  Liquidity  Risk  and  Operational  Risk  which 
are  explained  below.  Identifying,  measuring,  monitoring  and 
managing these are critical to balancing the risk-return trade off 
and determining the ultimate success of the Bank.

Your Bank has a Board approved risk strategy and policy in place. 
The  implementation  of  this  well-defined  policy  is  supervised 
by  the  Risk  Policy  and  Monitoring  Committee  of  the  Board.  
The  committee  periodically  reviews  risk  level  and  direction, 
portfolio composition, status of impaired credits as well as limits 
for treasury operations.

Credit Risk

The  Bank  has  a  comprehensive  centralised  risk  management 
function,  independent  of  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 business, 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 continued to be 
under  severe  pressure  due  to  macroeconomic  factors  as  well 
as  sector  specific  issues.  The  banking  industry  on  an  overall 
basis saw a sharp increase in stress and non-performing assets. 
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.

As on March 31, 2017, your Bank’s ratio of Gross Non-Performing 

to  gross  advances  was  1.05  per  cent.  
Assets  (NPAs) 
Net  Non-Performing  Assets  (Gross  Non-Performing  Assets 
less  Specific  Loan  Loss  provisions)  was  0.3  per  cent  of  Net 
Advances  as  on  March  31,  2017.  Total  restructured  assets 
(including  applications  under  process  for  restructuring)  was  
0.06  per  cent  of  gross  advances  as  on  March  31,  2017.  
As a matter of abundant caution, the Bank provides more than 
regulatory requirements for its NPAs while adhering to regulatory 
norms for the provision of Standard Assets.

Market Risk

This arises out of the Bank’s trading portfolio and is managed 
through a well-defined Board approved investment policy which 
caps  exposures  to  various  securities  through  stringent  trading 
risk limits/triggers. These include position limits, gap limits, tenor 
restrictions, sensitivity limits viz. PV01, Modified Duration of Hold 
To  Maturity  Portfolio  and  Option  Greeks,  Value-at-Risk  (VaR) 
Limit, Stop Loss Trigger Level (SLTL) and Potential Loss Trigger 
Level  (PLTL).  This  is  backed  up  further  by  a  Board  approved 
stress  testing  policy  and  framework  which  simulates  various 
market  risk  scenarios  in  order  to  measure  losses  and  initiate 
control measures.

Liquidity Risk

The  framework  for  liquidity  and  interest  rate  risk  management 
is established in the Bank’s Asset Liquidity-Management policy 
which  is  in  line  with  regulatory  requirements.  Your  Bank  has 
established various Board approved limits like 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-day  calendar  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 80 per cent on January 
1, 2017. This was to increase by 10 percentage points every year 
to touch 100 per cent on January 1, 2019. The Bank’s average 
LCR was in excess of this stipulation and was 99.52 per cent on a 
consolidated basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Directors' Report

In accordance with RBI’s guidelines, the Bank is currently on the 
Standardized Approach for Credit as well as Market Risk and the 
Basic Indicator Approach for Operational Risk. It is at the same 
time  progressing  towards  migrating  to  an  advanced  approach 
for these risks when permitted by the regulator. 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  and  the  adequacy  of  capital  to  cover  these 
risks.

Its Board approved Stress Testing Policy and Framework entails 
the  use  of  various  techniques  to  assess  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 
such assumed scenarios and sensitivity factors which generally 
relate to the impact on its profitability and capital adequacy.

Operational Risk

A  Board  approved  Operational  Risk  Management  Framework 
has been put in place which is implemented by a dedicated team 
within the Risk Management function. A bottom up risk control 
self-assessment  process  identifies  high  risk  areas,  potential 
gaps and serves as an early warning system so that remedial 
measures can be initiated in a timely manner.

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 internal audit 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 (CSR)-Creating Sustainable 
Communities

‘Creating Sustainable Communities’ is the underlying philosophy 
that drives your Bank’s CSR initiatives and it springs from one of 
its Core Values: Sustainability. The objective is to enable families 
break the vicious circle of poverty and draw them into a cycle of 
growth, development and empowerment without disturbing the 
ecological balance.

Your Bank is committed to identifying and supporting outreach 
programmes aimed at developing and advancing the community 
in  this  manner.  The  Bank  works  through  partnerships  with  
Non-Governmental  Organisations  (NGOs)  as  well  as  directly 
through its various businesses to create social value through its 
products and services.

Your  Bank’s  Holistic  Rural  Development  Programme  (HRDP) 
is  its  flagship  CSR  initiative. This  programme  aims  to  improve 
the  economic  and  social  conditions  of  the  villages  where  it 
operates. The  focus  areas  of  HRDP  are  Promoting  Education; 
Skills Training and Livelihood Enhancement; Natural Resources 
Management;  Healthcare  and  Hygiene;  Financial  Literacy  and 
Inclusion. Under the programme, the Bank is working in over 500 
villages across 14 states in the country.

Promoting Education

Your  Bank’s  education  programmes  are  structured  to  create 
a  conducive  and  effective  learning  environment  in  schools.  
This  includes  providing  basic  infrastructure,  teacher  training, 
learning  improvements,  scholarships  and  career  guidance 
programmes.  The  programmes  are  spread  across  a  wide 
geography and close to 900 schools are being covered. 

The  distinctiveness  of  these  programmes  is  the  focus  on 
improving  the  skills  of  teachers,  which  in  turn  benefits  the 
students.  More  than  65,000  students  have  benefitted  through 
these programmes.

Skills Training and Livelihood Enhancement 

Financial Literacy

To  create  a  sustainable  community,  your  Bank  believes 
that  people  must  have  a  steady  source  of  income  which 
will  contribute  to  a  thriving  economy.  To  this  end,  the  Bank 
provides skills training and development to enable beneficiaries 
to  earn  a  living,  with  a  special  focus  on  women  and  youth.  
Your Bank addresses this need through multiple projects ranging 
from  competency-based  skill-oriented  training  and  placement, 
capacity  building,  promoting  entrepreneurial  activities  and 
upskilling  for  agricultural  and  allied  practices. These  initiatives 
are  tailor-made  programmes  that  focus  on  addressing  the 
specific needs of a community.

Nearly  16,000  individuals  have  benefited  through  the  Bank’s 
efforts in skills based training. It has supported more than 1,100 
individuals  to  become  entrepreneurs. The  projects  are  spread 
across  varied  geographies  from  Jammu  &  Kashmir  in  the 
North,  Meghalaya  in  the  North  East, Tamil  Nadu  in  the  South 
to Gujarat in the West. One of the projects to provide job-based 
skills training in Uttar Pradesh, has benefitted more than 5,000 
individuals.

Natural Resource Management

While working on issues such as livelihood and water, your Bank 
makes a concerted effort towards managing local natural resources. 
The multi-focused interventions include the areas of soil and water 
conservation,  water  management,  construction,  renovation  and 
maintenance of water harvesting structures for improving surface 
and  ground  water  availability  as  well  as  for  promoting  organic 
fertilisers and renewable energy. 

Your  Bank  has  planted  more  than  67,000  trees,  with  the  twin 
objectives  of  developing  horticulture  and  ensuring  top  soil 
retention  for  better  agriculture  yield.  A  little  over  3,800  acres 
of  agricultural  land  has  been  treated  for  enhanced  agricultural 
produce.  In  order  to  provide  proper  irrigation  support  more 
than  200  water  harvesting  structures  have  been  constructed 
or renovated. Crop diversification has been carried out in over  
840 acres for higher output as well as enriched fertility of the soil.

Healthcare & Hygiene

Your Bank promotes the cause of good hygiene and sanitation 
practices in the community. Towards this end, the Bank supports 
construction  of  toilets  and  provision  of  clean  drinking  water 
facilities.  Close  to  7,500  households  and  900  schools  in  rural 
India  have  been  covered  under  the  toilet  programme  so  far. 
A  primary  healthcare  centre  was  set  up  in  the  flood  affected 
regions of Uttarakhand, which benefited around 50,000 people.

Financial literacy is the first step towards real financial inclusion. 
With this belief, the Bank conducts financial literacy workshops 
for communities to enable them to make smart financial decisions 
and sustain themselves. These workshops are executed through 
the Bank’s business units as well as its NGO partners.

Dhanchayat,  is  the  Bank’s  financial  literacy  programme  on 
wheels  and  this  has  been  running  successfully,  making  more 
and  more  people  in  the  rural  areas  aware  of  the  perils  of 
informal  banking. Your  Bank  also  disseminates  information  on 
general banking, credit counselling and digital banking across a 
wider society such as schools, colleges, pensioners and senior 
citizens. 

Over  40  lakh  households  have  benefited  from  the  Bank’s 
financial literacy drive.

Financial Inclusion

Your Bank is fully committed to digital transactions and the recent 
push given to it by the Union Government. It now offers last mile 
access  through  mobile  applications  like  BHIM,  UPI,  USSD,  
Scan & Pay as well as Aadhaar and RuPay enabled Micro-ATMs. 

In  another  ongoing  effort  to  bring  more  of  the  under-banked 
sections  of  the  population  into  formal  financial  channels,  your 
Bank  has  opened  over  17  lakh  accounts  under  the  Pradhan 
Mantri  Jan  Dhan  Yojana  (PMJDY)  and  enrolled  over  26  lakh 
customers in social security schemes since inception. It now ranks 
among the leading private sector banks in this regard. Loans to 
the  tune  of  `  5,522.5  crore  were  extended  under  the  Pradhan 
Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) and nearly ` 143.5 crore under the  
‘Stand  Up  India’  scheme  to  Scheduled  Caste/Scheduled Tribe 
women borrowers in the year under review.

Towards  this  end,  your  Bank’s  ATMs  have  gone  paperless, 
enabling reduction of carbon footprint. The Bank has given this 
effort a further fillip by ensuring multi-channel 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 reduce power consumption.

Blood Donation Campaign

The year 2016 was a milestone year for the campaign for two 
reasons.  One,  it  was  its  10th  year.  Two,  it  witnessed  record 
participation in terms of cities, camps and colleges resulting in 
over 1.7 lakh blood units being collected from more than 2 lakh

unprecedented collection.

Sustainable Livelihood Initiative (SLI)

Your  Bank’s  Sustainable  Livelihood  Initiative  (SLI)  is  about 
‘Creating  Sustainable  Communities’  by  empowering  people, 
and helping them break the vicious circle of poverty. The Bank 
takes immense pride in stating that through its Board mandated 
SLI, it has made a difference in the lives of lakhs of women at 
the  bottom  of  the  pyramid  by  creating  long-term  sustainable 
solutions rather than just providing short-term relief.

The basic premise of the SLI model is that empowering women 
means  empowering  families.  Women  participants  form  Self 
Help  Groups  (SHGs)  or  Joint  Liability  Groups  (JLGs)  that  are 
nurtured  by  the  Bank’s  employees.  The  approach  under  SLI 
covers  occupational  skills  training,  financial  literacy,  credit 
counselling,  livelihood  finance  and  market  linkage.  Today,  SLI 
is harnessing the collective power of women’s groups to make 
an  impact  in  village  communities  by  implementing  health  and 
sanitation programmes.

Apart  from  the  holistic  approach,  what  makes  this  programme 
one-of-its-kind  in  the  world  is  its  scale.  Sample  this;  8,000 
dedicated  bank  employees  working  with  millions  of  people  at 
the bottom of the pyramid in trying conditions driven purely by a 
passion to transform lives.

The  SLI  programme  is  being  accelerated  further  through 
digitisation  notwithstanding  hurdles  like  poor  awareness  and 
telecom  infrastructure.  These  are  being  overcome  by  using 
platforms like USSD which work on feature phones. Furthermore, 
to facilitate card-based transactions, the Bank has installed PoS 
machines in more than 200 villages.

At  the  end  of  the  year  under  review,  68  lakh  households  in  
25 states were covered through this programme. These include 
Assam,  Bihar,  Chhattisgarh,  Meghalaya,  Madhya  Pradesh, 
Odisha,  Rajasthan,  Sikkim,  Tripura,  Uttar  Pradesh  and 
Uttarakhand. 

The  disclosures  pertaining  to  CSR  as  required  under  Rule  8 
of  the  Companies  (Accounts)  Rules,  2014  have  been  given  in 
ANNEXURE 2 to this report.

Agriculture & Allied Activities

Your  Bank’s  credit  to  Agriculture  &  Allied  activities  stood  at  
`  77,921  crore  on  March  31,  2017  representing  an  increase 
of  about  17  per  cent  over  the  March  31,  2016  figure  of  
` 66,890.4 crore.

With  about  half  of  India’s  population  living  on  agriculture,  this 
is  an  important  business  segment  for  the  Bank.  The  suite  of 
products offered include the Kisan Gold Card, Tractor and Cattle 
Loans. Apart from loans directly linked to agriculture, the Bank 
offers  other  credit  products  such  as  two-wheeler  loans,  car 
loans, loans against gold jewellery and mortgage loans.

The  Kisan  Gold  Card  is  now  being  offered  in  60,000  villages. 
Your Bank has designed a range of crop and geography specific 
products  keeping  in  mind  the  harvest  cycles  and  local  needs 
of farmers spread across diverse agro climatic zones. Credit is 
targeted at allied agricultural activities like dairy, pisciculture and 
sericulture through specific products.

Using  technology,  your  Bank  is  able  to  deliver  some  loans 
within  three  working  days  in  select  geographies,  and  loan 
enhancements  in  a  few  seconds  through  ATMs  or  mobile 
phones. The Bank also enables faster cash flows to the farmer 
through products like post-harvest Cash Credit and Warehouse 
Receipt Financing.

HDFC  Bank’s  focus  in  the  rural  markets  has  not  just  been  on 
increasing  credit  off-take  but  also  on  cementing  relationships 
with customers by empowering them. As a part of these efforts, 
11  Kisan  Dhan  Vikas  Kendras  have  been  rolled  out  across 
Punjab, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh where 
farmers secure information on soil health, mandi prices, various 
government  initiatives  and  expert  advice.  These  services  are 
also  available  on  the  Bank’s  website  in  vernacular  languages. 
Advisories on weather, cropping and harvesting are also shared 
through SMS.

Milk-to-Money (MTM)

The  Bank’s  MTM  footprint  (including  Micro  ATMs)  crossed  the 
landmark of 1,000 in the year under review. Approximately 3.17 
lakh  farmers  are  covered  across  16  states  including  Gujarat, 
Maharashtra,  Punjab  and  Rajasthan.  Farmers  receive  Direct 
Benefit Transfers from the Government in the same account.

Under this initiative, Multi-function Terminals (MFTs), popularly 
known as Milk-to-Money ATMs, are deployed in dairy societies. 
The MFTs link the milk procurement system of the dairy society to 
the farmers’ account to enable faster payments. MFTs have cash 
dispensers  that  function  as  standard  ATMs. The  transparency 
in the milk collection process benefits both farmers and society. 
Payments  are  credited  without  the  difficulties  associated  with 
the cash distribution process. What is more, this creates a credit 
history which can then be used as the basis for accessing bank 
credit.  Apart  from  the  Dairy  and  Cattle  Loans,  customers  gain 
access  to  all  bank  products  including  digital  offerings  such  as  
10  Second  Personal  Loans,  Kisan  Credit  Card,  Bill  Pay  and 
Missed Call Mobile Recharge.

Loans against Gold Jewellery

As on March 31, 2017, Loans against Gold Jewellery stood at  
` 4,800 crore as against ` 4,531 crore on March 31, 2016. 

Banks  have  started  making  inroads  in  a  market  traditionally 
dominated  by  the  unorganised  sector  and  pawn  brokers.  
The entry of such players has resulted in increased awareness, 
and  at  the  same  time  provided  greater  transparency  by 
substituting the money lenders. The availability of the asset and 
the  ease  of  securing  a  loan  have  made  this  a  convenient  and 
viable credit option.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME)

The  year  under  review  has  been  a  challenging  but  defining 
one for the MSME business. Demonetisation was a temporary 
setback  for  a  business  whose  customers  traditionally  transact 
in cash. Your Bank was able to overcome this in the last quarter. 
The Bank’s advances to MSMEs grew by 14.4 per cent to touch 
` 85,166.6 crore on March 31, 2017 from ` 74,657.3 crore on 
March 31, 2016.

Demonetisation  and 
the  next-generation 
the  advent  of 
of  entrepreneurs  has  seen  a  steady  shift  towards  digital 
transactions. In what could be a potential game changer for the 
business,  the  Bank  launched  a  complete  online  solution-the 
‘SM@Bank’. Through this, customers can access-credit facility 
information,  request  adhoc/temporary  overdraft  facilities,  ask 
for new facilities and submit documents to the Bank for straight 
through  processing  on  a  24*7  basis.  This  gained  significant 
traction in the very first year and is now poised to gain further 
momentum.

Within  this  segment,  the  Bank  continued  its  approach  of 
targeting  the  manufacturing,  retailing,  wholesale,  trading,  and 
services sectors. 

Innovation

Your  Bank  has  embarked  on  a  ‘Mobile  First’  digital  strategy 
that builds on the last two decades of investment in technology. 
This  strategy  enables  your  Bank  to  offer  an  entire  spectrum 
of  banking  products  which  can  now  be  accessed  not  only  on  
high-end smart phones and tablets, but also on feature phones 
that require little or no Internet connectivity.

As you are aware, digital innovation has been the prime driver 
across  businesses  for  the  last  two  years.  It  has  got  further 
impetus  with  emphasis  on  artificial  intelligence,  chatbots 
and  machine  learning  enabling  your  Bank  to  offer  a  superior 
customer experience.

The Bank hosted the 2nd Digital Innovation Summit in February 
2017 to tap into the fin-tech and start-up ecosystem and harness 
the emerging technological trends. In the 2nd Digital Innovation 
Summit,  the  Bank  invited  entries  in  rural  fin-tech  category  as 
well along with submissions in other categories. Five companies 
have  been  chosen  as  winners,  whose  solutions  the  Bank  is 
evaluating  for  potential  application.  These  companies  are  in 
Artificial  Intelligence,  Marketing,  Mobile  Payments,  Quality 
Assurance and Biometric Payments domains with special focus 
on solutions that will help semi-urban and rural customers.

Some  of  the  major  digital  innovations  introduced  in  the  year 
ended March 31, 2017 are:

(cid:115) 

Interactive  Humanoid  ‘IRA’:  HDFC  Bank  now  has  a 
humanoid,  IRA,  which  is  a  technology  demonstrator  in  the 
field  of  artificial  intelligence  and  robotics.  It  can  support 
customer service.   

(cid:115)  HDFC  Bank’s  Virtual  Assistant 

‘EVA’:  An  Artificial 
Intelligence  based  customer  service  chatbot  deployed  on 
your Bank’s website that responds to customer queries and 
provides product information. 

(cid:115)  HDFC  Bank  OnChat:  Your  Bank  has  forayed  into  social 
media  banking  to  reach  out  to  the  millennial  customers. 
At  present,  customers  and  non-customers  can  complete 
e-commerce transactions on Facebook Messenger.

(cid:115)  Expense  Tracker:  This  personal  financial  management 
tool gives customers a snapshot of their income, expenses, 
and  investments  and  helps  them  secure  control  over  their 
finances. This  enhancement  in  your  Bank’s  MobileBanking 
app has received encouraging customer response. 

(cid:115)  Other  innovations  like  PayZapp,  SmartBuy  and  the  10 
second personal loan continued to gather momentum in the 
year under review.

People

Your  Bank  believes  that  the  key  to  building  an  organization 
is  People.  The  philosophy  of  the  Bank  can  be  summarised 
as:  Hiring  right  talent  and  retaining  them  by  creating  a 
conducive environment through a combination of financial and  
non-financial  incentives.  Besides  innovation,  the  organization 
also 
fosters  a  culture  of  empowerment  and  ownership.  
This paid-off during demonetisation, when our employees went 
well  beyond  the  call-of-duty  to  make  customers  comfortable.  
In an extremely chaotic environment with crises erupting by the 
day, they came up with creative solutions.

Directors' Report

To  reiterate  the  five  broad  pillars  of  HDFC  Bank’s  People 
Strategy are:

(cid:115)(cid:0) Resourcing and Hiring: 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. This has resulted in 
an 84,000 plus work force that is well motivated and trained 
to  deliver  value  to  the  customer.  Increased  digitisation, 
improved  process  efficiencies  and  rebalancing  capacities 
over the years has led to a small decrease in the employee 
base.

(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  as  well  as  behavioural  training  through 
the Gurukul programmes reiterate 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.  Role-based  scorecards  at  the  employee 
level  coupled  with  managerial  feedback  provide  clarity  and 
support to help employees excel.

In addition, your Bank strives to strengthen its connect with 
employees.  The  Bank  conducted  an  employee  survey  to 
understand various aspects of their experience and followed 
through  with  appropriate  interventions  spanning  from  the 
local  to  pan-Bank  level.  The  Bank  also  conducts  several 
employee  engagement  events,  both  at  local  and  national 
levels.

(cid:190)  Josh  Unlimited:  Pan-India  Sports  event  conducted  in  

27 cities

(cid:190)  Stepathlon:  An  Employee  Wellness  initiative  that  saw 

the participation rise by 1,000 to about 3,500 

(cid:190)  Hunar:  Pan-India in-house talent competition 

(cid:190)  Corporate  Online  Library:  A  knowledge  resource 
available to all employees for accessing nearly 1.5 lakh 
books

(cid:190)  Employees can also participate in the ‘HDFC Bank Voice 
Hunt  Contest’  in  association  with  Shankar  Mahadevan 
Academy and ‘Corporate Photography Contest’ which is 
an inter-corporate event.

The  Bank  encourages  employees  to  participate  in  community 
and social work. Through your Bank’s Employee Payroll Giving’ 
programme, personnel can choose to donate a certain amount 
from their salary each month towards specific social causes.

The  other  flagship  programmes  are  the  Blood  Donation  Drive 
and the Bank’s volunteering programme which entails employees 
imparting  financial  literacy  and  contributing  to  relief  efforts  in 
case of natural calamities.

‘HDFC Bank Cares’ is an initiative to address healthcare needs 
of  employees.  Benefits  under  this  programme  include  health 
mailers,  doctor  on  call,  health  check-up  camps  and  talks 
on  wellness  by  experts.  The  Bank  runs  an  on-site  crèche  at 
Kanjurmarg, Mumbai.

These  initiatives  create  a  connect  among  employees  and  also 
helps  them  forge  an  emotional  bond  with  the  organization. 
Further,  a  strong  feedback  mechanism  helps  shape  the 
programmes  and  aligns  them  with  people’s  expectations  and 
organisation policies.

training  ensures 

(cid:115)  Training  and  Development: Training  plans  are  developed 
based on analysis of training needs identified in consultation 
with  various  businesses.  An  extensive  bouquet  of  training 
programmes  are  delivered  covering  on-boarding,  product 
and process training, advanced programmes and behavioural 
training.  The  on-boarding 
that  new 
employees are trained comprehensively and equipped with 
necessary know-how, as well as functional and behavioural 
skills required for the role. The product training and advanced 
programmes enable skill development, regular updates and 
build  expertise.  The  training  methodology  has  evolved  to 
application based training including simulations, case studies 
and games. Leveraging technology, many of the class room 
programmes are now being delivered through online mode. 
The  role  specific  learning  plan  ensures  effective  use  of 
blended learning method.

(cid:115)  Rewards:  Merit  is  the  driving  force  in  the  organisation 
and  objectivity  the  watchword  while  rewarding  employees 
on  a  financial  and  non-financial  basis.  This  fair  and 
equitable  approach  encourages  people  to  give  their  best.  
The  compensation  policy  ensures  that  remuneration  is 
not  only  competitive  but  also  includes  wealth  creation 
opportunities  through  long-term  rewards  like  ESOPs. Your 
Bank’s  comprehensive  compensation  policy  is  aligned 
with the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India. The ‘Star 
Awards’  is  an  institutionalised  recognition  programme  that 
periodically recognizes performers. The ‘Tejaswini Awards’ is 
a special category to recognize women achievers.

Board Performance Evaluation

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  (NRC)  has 
approved  a  framework/policy  for  evaluation  of  the  Board, 
Committees  of  the  Board  and  the  individual  members  of  the 
Board.  The  said  framework/policy  was  duly  reviewed  during 
the year. A questionnaire for the evaluation of the Board and its 
Committees,  designed  in  accordance  with  the  said  framework 
and covering various aspects of the performance of the Board 
and  its  Committees,  including  composition  and  quality,  roles 
and  responsibilities,  processes  and  functioning,  adherence  to 
Code  of  Conduct  and  Ethics  and  best  practices  in  Corporate 
Governance  was  sent  out  to  the  Directors.  The  responses 
received to the questionnaires on evaluation of the Board and its 
Committees were placed before the meeting of the Independent 
Directors for consideration. The assessment of the Independent 
Directors on the performance of the Board and its Committees 
was subsequently discussed by the Board at its meeting. 

Your  Bank  has  in  place  a  process  wherein  declarations  are 
obtained  from  the  directors  regarding  fulfilment  of  the  ‘fit  and 
proper’ criteria in accordance with the guidelines of the Reserve 
Bank  of  India.  The  declarations  from  the  Directors  other  than 

members  of  the  NRC  are  placed  before  the  NRC  and  the 
declarations  of  the  members  of  the  NRC  are  placed  before 
the  Board.  Assessment  on  whether  the  Directors  fulfil  the 
said criteria is made by the NRC and the Board on an annual 
basis.  In  addition,  the  framework/policy  approved  by  the  NRC 
provides for a performance evaluation of the Non-Independent 
Directors  by  the  Independent  Directors  on  key  personal  and 
professional attributes and a similar performance evaluation of 
the Independent Directors by the Board, excluding the Director 
being  evaluated.  Such  performance  evaluation  has  been  duly 
completed as above.  

Policy on Appointment and Remuneration of Directors and 
Key Managerial Personnel

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee 
(NRC) 
recommends  the  appointment  of  Directors  to  the  Board.  
It identifies persons who are qualified to become Directors on the 
Board  and  evaluates  criteria  such  as  academic  qualifications, 
previous  experience,  track  record  and  integrity  of  the  persons 
identified before recommending their appointment to the Board.

The  remuneration  of  whole  time  Directors  is  governed  by  the 
compensation policy of the Bank. The compensation policy of the 
Bank, duly reviewed and recommended by the NRC has been 
articulated in line with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. 

Your  Bank’s  compensation  policy  is  aimed  to  attract,  retain, 
reward  and  motivate  talented  individuals  critical  for  achieving 
strategic  goals  and  long  term  success.  Compensation  policy 
is  aligned  to  business  strategy,  market  dynamics,  internal 
characteristics  and  complexities  within  the  Bank. The  ultimate 
objective is to provide a fair and transparent structure that helps 
the Bank to retain and acquire the talent pool critical to building 
competitive advantage and brand equity.

Your  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  should  also  take  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  on  account  of  competitive  market 
forces. The  details  of  the  compensation  policy  are  also  included 
in Schedule 18 Notes forming part of the Accounts - Note no. 25. 
Non-Executive  Directors  are  paid  remuneration  by  way  of  sitting 
fees  for  attending  meetings  of  the  Board  and  its  Committees, 
which are determined by the Board based on applicable regulatory 
prescriptions.  Non-Executive  Directors  are  also  reimbursed 
expenses  incurred  by  them  for  attending  meetings  of  the  Board 
and  its  Committees  at  actuals.  The  remuneration  payable  to 
is

# 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.

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 
standalone 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.

In  conducting  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  standalone  financial  statements  are  free  from  material 
misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
evidence  about  the  amounts  and  the  disclosures  in  the 
standalone  financial  statements.  The  procedures  selected 
depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of 
the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial 
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk 
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial controls 
relevant to the Bank’s preparation of the standalone 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 standalone financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us 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, 2017, 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, based on our audit, 
we report to the extent applicable that:

explanations which to the best of our knowledge and 
belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit 
and found them to be satisfactory.

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 at 31st March, 2017 taken on  
record  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  none  of  the  
directors is disqualified as at 31st March, 2017 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  separate  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, 
as  amended,  in  our  opinion  and  to  the  best  of  our 
information and according to the explanations given 
to us:

i. 

The Bank has disclosed the impact of pending 
litigations  on 
its 
standalone financial statements;  

its  financial  position 

in 

ii. 

the  applicable 

The  Bank  has  made  provision,  as  required 
under 
law  or  accounting 
standards,    for    material    foreseeable    losses,  
if    any,    on    long-term    contracts    including 
derivative contracts; 

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 performed 
select  relevant  procedures  at  85  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 being made available to us.

REPORT 

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S 

(Referred to in paragraph 1.h under ‘Report on Other Legal 
and  Regulatory  Requirements’  section  of  the  auditor’s 
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, 2017 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 
were established and maintained and if such controls operated 
effectively in all material respects.

the  adequacy  of 

An  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.

regarding  prevention  or 

the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and 

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 
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, 
2017,  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 Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2017 

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

ended March 31, 2017

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.

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,

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,  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase  transactions  in  government  securities  and 
corporate debt securities 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  is 
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, 
inter-bank participation with risk, 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.

Non-performing advances 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. 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 are 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. Provision for country risk is included under other 
liabilities.

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, of a 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  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 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’). 

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. The Bank amortises any profit received for every individual securitisation or direct assignment 
transaction based on the method prescribed in these guidelines. 

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.

The Bank enters into transactions for the sale or purchase of Priority Sector Lending Certificates (PSLCs). In the case of a 
sale transaction, the Bank sells the fulfillment of priority sector obligation and in the case of a purchase transaction the Bank 
buys the fulfillment of priority sector obligation through the RBI trading platform. There is no transfer of risks or loan assets.  
The fee received for the sale of PSLCs is recorded as ‘Miscellaneous Income’ and the fee paid for purchase of the PSLCs is 
recorded as ‘Other Expenditure’ in Statement of Profit and Loss.

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 and 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 over the tenor of the loans.

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 management believes 
that the useful life of assets assessed by the Bank, pursuant to the Companies Act, 2013, taking into account changes in 
environment, changes in technology, the utility and efficacy of the asset in use, fairly reflects its estimate of useful lives of the 
fixed assets. The estimated useful lives of key fixed assets are given below:

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.

For the year ended March 31, 2017

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

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.

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 and loan accounts where restructuring has been approved by the RBI under Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) scheme 
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.

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.

For the year ended March 31, 2017

The overseas branches of the Bank make 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.

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 the outstanding 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 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.

16 

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:

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

Proposed dividend

The Board of Directors, at their meeting held on April 21, 2017 have proposed a dividend of ` 11.00 per equity share aggregating 
` 3,392.71 crore, inclusive of tax on dividend. The proposal is subject to the approval of shareholders at the Annual General 
Meeting. In terms of revised Accounting Standard (AS) 4 ‘Contingencies and Events occurring after the Balance sheet date’ as 
notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through amendments to Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 
2016, the Bank has not appropriated proposed dividend from Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2017. 
Accordingly, the proposed dividend and the tax thereon, under Appropriations in the Statement of Profit and Loss is lower by  
`  2,818.80  crore  and  `  573.91  crore  respectively  and  the  balance  of  Other  Liabilities  is  lower  by  an  equivalent  amount  as 
at  March  31,  2017.  However,  the  effect  of  the  proposed  dividend  has  been  reckoned  in  determining  capital  funds  in  the 
computation of the capital adequacy ratio as at March 31, 2017.

Basic earnings per equity share has 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 has 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.

Following  is  the  reconciliation  of  weighted  average  number  of  equity  shares  used  in  the  computation  of  basic  and  diluted 
earnings per share:

Accounting for employee share based payments

The shareholders of the Bank approved grant of equity share options under Plan “C” in June 2005, Plan “D” in June 2007, Plan 
“E” in June 2010, Plan “F” in June 2013 and Plan “G” in July 2016. Under the terms of each of these Plans, the Bank may issue 
to its employees and Whole Time Directors, Equity Stock Options (‘ESOPs’) each of which is convertible into one equity share. 
All the plans were framed in accordance with the SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme & Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) 
Guidelines, 1999 as amended from time to time and as applicable at the time of grant. Accounting for the stock options has 
been in accordance with the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 to the extent applicable.

Plans C, D, E, F and G provide for the issuance of options at the recommendation of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee 
at the closing price on the working day immediately preceding the date when options are granted. This closing price is the 
closing price of the Bank’s equity share on an Indian stock exchange with the highest trading volume as of the working day 
preceding the date of grant.

Vesting conditions applicable to the options are at the discretion of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. These options 
are  exercisable  on  vesting,  for  a  period  as  set  forth  by  the  Nomination  &  Remuneration  Committee  at  the  time  of  grant.  
The period in which options may be exercised cannot exceed five years. During the years ended March 31, 2017 and March 
31, 2016, no modifications were made to the terms and conditions of ESOPs as approved by the Nomination & Remuneration 
Committee.

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. 
No stock options were granted during the year ended March 31, 2017 (previous year: 4,48,36,200). The various assumptions 
considered in the pricing model for the ESOPs granted during the year ended March 31, 2016 were:

Particulars
Dividend yield
Expected volatility
Risk-free interest rate
Expected life of the options

March 31, 2016

0.73%
23.29% to 26.46%
7.71% to 8.07%
1 to 7 years

Impact of fair value method on net profit and Earnings Per Share (‘EPS’)

Had the compensation cost for the Bank’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value approach, the Bank’s 
net profit and earnings per share would have been as per the proforma amounts indicated below:

Particulars
Net profit (as reported)
Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in net income

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

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.

Schedules to the Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2017 

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. These instruments are carried at fair value, determined based on either FEDAI rates or 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 
the trade 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 applicable 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 or 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, 
GAP limit, scenario based profit and loss limit for option portfolio and value-at-risk limits that are recommended by the 
Risk Policy and Monitoring Committee (‘RPMC’) to the Board of Directors for approval. All methodologies used to assess 
market and credit risks for derivative transactions are specified by the credit and 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 and the Board of Directors.

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,  is  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.

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.

Claims against the Bank 
not acknowledged as 
debts - taxation

The Bank is a party to various taxation matters in respect of which appeals are pending. The Bank 
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 Bank 
not acknowledged as 
debts - others

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

Liability on account of  
forward exchange and 
derivative contracts

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.

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; e) Investment purchases pending 
settlement; f) Amount transferred to the RBI under the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund

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 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:

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. The deferred bonus is paid out post review and approval by the NRC.

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

For the year ended March 31, 2017

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:

(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.

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.  

(cid:50)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:50)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:67)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:34)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:75)(cid:0)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:89)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:26)

The Compensation Policy of the Bank was reviewed by the NRC during the year and there were no 
material changes. 

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. 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  NRC  grants  options  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. With effect from April 1, 2017, the Bank has

amended its policy for grant of ESOPs. Under this policy, ESOPs granted to eligible employees vest over three 
tranches spread over a period of 39 months vis-à-vis 36 months for the earlier grants. The first tranche will 
vest after fifteen months from the date of grant vis-à-vis twelve months for earlier grants. Vesting for all ESOPs 
granted subsequent to April 1, 2017 shall be based on the assessment of performance of the employee at the 
time of vesting.

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. 

g)   Statutory Bonus

Some  section  of  employees  are  also  paid  statutory  bonus  as  per  the  Payment  of  Bonus  Act  (1965)  as 
amended from time to time. 

III.  Remuneration Processes

Fitment at the time of Hire

Pay scales 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

The Bank takes into account various types of risks in its remuneration processes. The Bank follows a comprehensive framework 
that includes within its ambit the key dimensions of remuneration such as fixed pay, variable pay and long term incentives  
(i.e. Employee Stock Options). 

Fixed  pay: The  Bank  conducts  a  comprehensive  market  benchmarking  study  to  ensure  that  employees  are  competitively 
positioned in terms of fixed pay. The Bank follows a robust salary review process wherein revisions in fixed compensation are 
based on performance. The Bank also makes salary adjustments taking into consideration pay positioning of employees vis-à-
vis market reference points. Through this approach the Bank endeavors to ensure that the talent risk due to attrition is mitigated 
as much as possible. Fixed Pay could be revised downwards as well in the event of certain proven cases of misconduct by an 
employee.

Variable pay: The Bank has distinct types of variable pay plans as given below:

(a)  Quarterly / monthly performance-linked pay (PLP) plans:

All quarterly / monthly PLP plans are based on the principle of balanced scorecard framework that includes within its 
ambit both quantitative and qualitative factors including key strategic objectives that ensure future competitive advantage 
for the Bank. PLP plans, by design, have deterrents that play a role of moderating payouts based on the non-fulfillment 
of established quantitative / qualitative risk factors. Deterrents also include risks arising out of non-compliance, mis-sell 
etc. Further, a portion of all payouts under the PLP plans is deferred till the end of the year to provide for any unforeseen 
performance risks.

(b)  Annual bonus plan:

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 framework developed by the Bank in order to arrive at the quantum of bonus pool is based on the performance 
of  the  Bank  and  profitability.  The  annual  bonus  is  distributed  based  on  business  unit  and  individual  performance.  
The business unit performance is based on factors such as growth in revenue, growth in profit, cost to income ratio and 
achievement vis-à-vis plans and key objectives.  Bonus pay out for an individual employee in a particular grade is linked 
to the performance rating of the employee and subject to meeting the Bank’s standards of ethical conduct.

The Bank has 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 for Whole Time Directors. 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 reference performance year. The deferred 
bonus is paid out post review and approval by the NRC.

The  bonus  for Whole Time  Directors  is  capped  at  70%  of  the  fixed  pay  in  a  year. The  variable  pay  for Whole Time 
Directors is approved by the NRC as well as the Board of Directors of the Bank and is subject to the approval of the RBI. 

The variable pay component is paid out subject to the following conditions:

Where the variable pay constitutes 50% or more of the fixed pay, a portion of the same would be deferred as per the 
schedule mentioned in the table below:

(cid:48)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:54)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:65)(cid:66)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:48)(cid:65)(cid:89) Timelines

(c) 

Long term incentives (employee stock options):

The Bank also grants employee stock options to employees in certain job bands. The grant is based on performance 
rating of the individual.

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. 

B. 

Business Growth - This includes growth in advances and deposits;

Profitability - This includes growth in profit after tax;

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

D. 

E. 

F. 

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

Shareholder value creation - Return on equity; and

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. 

B. 

Achievement against the plans of the Bank; and

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:

A. 

B. 

Increase in plan over the previous year;

Actual growth in revenue over previous year;

C.  Growth in net revenue (%);

D. 

E. 

F. 

Achievement of net revenue against plan (%);

Actual profit before tax; 

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 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.

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 
employees and moderated by qualitative parameters. A portion of the PLP payouts is deferred till the end of the year to 
provide for any unforeseen performance risks. All PLP plans are based on balanced scorecard framework.

Whole Time Directors

The bonus for Whole Time Directors does not exceed 70% of the fixed pay in a year, thereby ensuring that there is a balance 
between the fixed and variable pay. 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:

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.  
The deferred bonus is paid out post review and approval by the NRC.

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 bonus payout 
received 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. 

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.

(cid:115)(cid:0)

(cid:37)(cid:77)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:89)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:67)(cid:75)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:80)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:78)

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.

26  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.

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 for the quarter ended 
March 31, 2017 was at 100.28%, above the RBI prescribed minimum requirement of 80%. The average HQLA was ` 137,711.74 
crore  of  which  government  securities  constituted  about  75%. The  outflows  related  to  derivative  exposures  (net  of  cash  inflows) 
/  collateral  requirements  and  undrawn  commitments  constituted  about  0.3%  and  5%  respectively  of  average  cash  outflow  of  
` 211,892.70 crore. Average inflows from assets were ` 74,559.31 crore.

Average LCR compared to previous quarter ended December 31, 2016 has remained relatively stable with a slight decrease in the 
average HQLA position mainly on account of decrease in unencumbered SLR securities.

Average LCR has been continuously increasing compared to that in the previous year ended March 31, 2016 primarily driven by 
increase in the average HQLA position on account of increase in liquid investments as well as additional FALLCR (1% of NDTL) 
permitted by RBI to be considered as HQLA from July 2016. 

A strong and diversified liabilities profile has been at the helm on Bank’s growth strategy. The Bank has consistently maintained a 
robust funding profile with a significant portion of funding through deposits. As at March 31, 2017 the top 20 depositors comprised 
around 5% of total deposits.

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 31, 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 31, 2016 was 80.61%, which was above the RBI prescribed minimum requirement of 70%.

Major reasons for movement in average LCR as compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2015 are as follows:

32  Penalties levied by the RBI

Further to the media reports in October 2015 about irregularities in advance import remittances in various banks, the Reserve 
Bank of India (RBI) had conducted a scrutiny of the transactions carried out by the Bank under Section 35(1A) of the Banking 
Regulation  Act,  1949. The  RBI  issued  a  Show  Cause  Notice  to  which  the  Bank  had  submitted  its  detailed  response.  After 
considering the Bank’s submission, the RBI imposed a penalty of ` 2.00 crore on the Bank vide its letter dated July 19, 2016 
on  account  of  pendency  in  receipt  of  bill  of  entry  relating  to  advance  import  remittances  made  and  lapses  in  adhering  to  
KYC / AML guidelines in this respect. The penalty has since been paid. The Bank has implemented a comprehensive corrective 
action plan, to strengthen its internal control mechanisms so as to ensure that such incidents do not recur. The above matter 
does not constitute a material weakness or significant deficiency in the framework of internal financial controls over financial 
reporting maintained by the Bank under Section 134(3)(q)  of the Companies Act 2013.

During the year ended March 31, 2016, RBI had not imposed any penalties on the Bank.

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated 
financial  statements  of  HDFC  BANK  LIMITED 
(hereinafter  referred  to  as  “the  Holding  Company”) 
and  its  subsidiaries  (the  Holding  Company  and  its 
subsidiaries together referred to as “the  Group”) and its

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”) - [See paragraph 5 below]

2.    Management’s  Responsibility  for  the  Consolidated 

Financial Statements 

  The  Holding  Company’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 
and  its  associate  in  accordance  with  provisions  of 
Section  29  of  the  Banking  Regulation  Act,  1949,  the  
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  India,  
including  the  Accounting  Standards    prescribed  under 
Section  133  of  the  Act,  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 the associate are 
responsible  for  maintenance  of  adequate  accounting 
records  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Act 
for  safeguarding  the  assets  of  the  Group  and  the 
associate  and  for  preventing  and  detecting  frauds  and 
other  irregularities;  the  selection  and  application  of 
appropriate accounting policies; making judgments 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 Holding Company.

3.    Auditor’s Responsibility 

  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these 
consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit. 
In  conducting  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  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  disclosures  in 
the  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  procedures 
selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgment,  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  controls  relevant  to 
the Holding Company’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 Holding Company’s Board of Directors, and 
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  report  referred  to  in  sub-paragraph  (a) 
of  paragraph  5  below,  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to 
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated 
financial statements.

4.    Opinion 

In  our  opinion  and  to  the  best  of  our  information  and 
according  to  the  explanations  given  to  us  and  based 
on  the  matters  referred  to  in  paragraph  5  below,  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 
associate as at 31st March, 2017, and the consolidated 
profit and consolidated cash flows for the year ended on 
that date. 

5.    Other Matters

a)  We  did  not  audit  the  financial  statements  of  a 
subsidiary  whose  financial  statements  reflect 
total assets of ` 3,352,692 lacs as at 31st March, 
2017,  total  revenues  of  `  572,450  lacs  and  net 
cash  (outflows)  amounting  to  `  2,032  lacs  for  the 
year  ended  on  that  date,  as  considered  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements. These  financial 
statements  have  been  audited  by  other  auditors 
whose  report  has  been  furnished  to  us  by  the 

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2016-17

b) 

Management and our opinion on the consolidated 
financial  statements,  in  so  far  as  it  relates  to  the 
amounts  and  disclosures  included  in  respect 
of  this  subsidiary,  and  our  report  in  terms  of 
subsection (3) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far 
as  it  relates  to  the  aforesaid  subsidiary  is  based 
solely on the report of the other auditors.

The consolidated financial statements also include 
the Group’s share of net profit of ` 234 lacs for the 
year  ended  31st  March,  2017,  as  considered  in 
the  consolidated  financial  statements,  in  respect 
of  an  associate,  whose  financial  statements 
have  not  been  audited  by  us.  These  financial 
statements are unaudited and 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  this  associate,  is  based  solely  on 
such  unaudited  financial  statements  as  certified 
by  the  Management  of  that  associate.  In  our 
opinion  and  according  to  the  information  and 
explanations given to us by the Holding Company’s 
Management,  these  financial  statements  are  not 
material to the Group.

Our  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial 
statements,  and  our  report  on  Other  Legal  and 
Regulatory Requirements below 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 the financial statements certified 
by the management of the associate.

6.    Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 

  As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, based on our

financial statements. 

(b) 

In our opinion, proper books of account as required

consolidated financial statements. 

(d) 

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

(e)  On  the  basis  of  the  written  representations 
received  from  the  directors  of  the  Holding 
Company as at 31st March, 2017 taken on record 
by the Board of Directors of the Holding Company 
and  the  report  of  the  statutory  auditors  of  the

ANNEXURE  “A”  TO  THE  INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S 
REPORT 

(Referred to in paragraph f under ‘Report on Other Legal 
and  Regulatory  Requirements’  section  of  the  auditor’s 
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”)

In  conjunction  with  our  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements  of  the  Holding  Company  for  the  year  as  of  and 
for  the  year  ended  31st  March,  2017  we  have  audited  the 
internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Group 
[See paragraphs 1 and 5 of our Report on the Consolidated 
Financial Statements]. 

Management’s  Responsibility  for  Internal  Financial 
Controls

The  respective  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Holding  company 
and its subsidiary companies and its associate company, are 
responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial 
controls 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  on  Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls 
Over  Financial  Reporting  (“the  Guidance  Note”)  issued  by 
the  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants  of  India  (“ICAI”).  
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, 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.

An  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  audit  evidence  obtained  by  the  other  auditors,  in  terms 
of  their  report  referred  to  in  paragraph  5  of  our  Report  on 
the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  is  sufficient  and 
appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit  opinion  on  the 
internal  financial  controls  system  over  financial  reporting  of 
the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies, which are 
companies incorporated in India.

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

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

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the matters referred 
to in paragraph 5 of our Report on the Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

Opinion

In  our  opinion  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according 
to  the  explanations  given  to  us  and  based  on  the  matters 
referred to in paragraph 5 of our Report on the Consolidated 
Financial Statements, the Group 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,  2017, 
based on 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.

For the year ended March 31, 2017

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

the year ended March 31, 2017

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. 

HDB  Financial  Services  Limited  (HDBFSL)  and  HDFC  Securities  Limited  (HSL)  are  subsidiaries  of  the  Bank.  HDBFSL  
is a non-deposit taking non-banking finance company. HSL is a financial services provider along with broking as a core product.

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.

Basis of consolidation 

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

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.

Schedules to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2017

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,  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase  transactions  in  government  securities  and 
corporate debt securities 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  is 
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, inter-bank participation with risk, 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.

Non-performing advances 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. 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 are 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. Provision for country risk is included under other liabilities.

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, of a 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

thereof is as per the extant RBI guidelines. Restructuring of an account is done at a borrower level.

HDB Financial Services Limited

The  rates  applied  for  making  provisions  on  non-performing  advances  are  higher  than  those  required  by  the  relevant  RBI 
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

Securitisation and transfer of assets

HDFC Bank Limited

The Bank securitises out its receivables 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 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’). 

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. The Bank amortises any profit received for every individual securitisation or direct assignment transaction 
based on the method prescribed in these guidelines.

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.

The Bank enters into transactions for the sale or purchase of Priority Sector Lending Certificates (PSLCs). In the case of a 
sale transaction, the Bank sells the fulfillment of priority sector obligation and in the case of a purchase transaction the Bank 
buys the fulfillment of priority sector obligation through the RBI trading platform. There is no transfer of risks or loan assets.

For the year ended March 31, 2017

The fee received for the sale of PSLCs is recorded as ‘Miscellaneous Income’ and the fee paid for purchase of the PSLCs 
is recorded as ‘Other Expenditure’ in Statement of Profit and Loss.

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  and  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 over the tenor of the loans.

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 management believes 
that the useful life of assets assessed  by  the Bank, pursuant  to the Companies  Act,  2013, taking  into account changes  in 
environment, changes in technology, the utility and efficacy of the asset in use, fairly reflects its estimate of useful lives of 
the fixed assets. The estimated useful lives of key fixed assets are given below:

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:

Asset

Computer hardware           

Office equipment

Furniture and fixtures

Leasehold improvements

Electricals

Office premises

Estimated useful life

3 years

5 years

10 years

Over the remaining period of the lease

10 years

60 years

For the following categories of assets, the Company has assessed useful life based on technical advice, taking into account 
the  nature  of  the  asset,  the  estimates  usage  of  asset,  the  operating  condition  of  asset,  anticipated  technological  changes 
and utility in the business, as below:

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.

7 

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.

For the year ended March 31, 2017

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 Institute of Actuaries of India 
(IAI) and provision towards this liability is made.

The overseas branches of the Bank make 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.

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.

Compensated absences 

The Company does not have a policy of encashment of unavailed leaves for its employees but are permitted to carry forward 
subject to a prescribed maximum days. The Company provides for compensated absences in accordance with AS 15 (revised 
2005) Employee Benefits issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The provision is based on an independent 
external actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date.

10  Debit and credit cards reward points

HDFC Bank Limited

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 the outstanding reward points are made based on the actuarial valuation report as furnished by the 
said independent actuary and included in other liabilities.

11  Bullion

HDFC Bank Limited

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 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

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.

15  Share issue expenses

HDFC Bank Limited

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

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:

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 and gold in hand, balances with RBI, balances with other banks and money at call 
and short notice.

19  Corporate social responsibility 

Group

Expenditure towards corporate social responsibility, in accordance with Companies Act, 2013, are recognised in the Statement

Accounting for employee share based payments

HDFC Bank Limited

The shareholders of the Bank approved grant of equity share options under Plan “C” in June 2005, Plan “D” in June 2007, 
Plan “E” in June 2010, Plan “F” in June 2013 and Plan “G” in July 2016. Under the terms of each of these Plans, the Bank 
may issue to its employees and Whole Time Directors, Equity Stock Options (‘ESOPs’) each of which is convertible into one 
equity  share.  All  the  plans  were  framed  in  accordance  with  the  SEBI  (Employee  Stock  Option  Scheme  &  Employee  Stock 
Purchase  Scheme)  Guidelines,  1999  as  amended  from  time  to  time  and  as  applicable  at  the  time  of  grant.  Accounting  for 
the stock options has been in accordance with the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 to the extent 
applicable.

Plans  C,  D,  E,  F  and  G  provide  for  the  issuance  of  options  at  the  recommendation  of  the  Nomination  &  Remuneration 
Committee at the closing price on the working day immediately preceding the date when options are granted. This closing 
price is the closing price of the Bank’s equity share on an Indian stock exchange with the highest trading volume as of the 
working day preceding the date of grant. 

Vesting conditions applicable to the options are at the discretion of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. These options 
are  exercisable  on  vesting,  for  a  period  as  set  forth  by  the  Nomination  &  Remuneration  Committee  at  the  time  of  grant.  
The  period  in  which  options  may  be  exercised  cannot  exceed  five  years.  During  the  years  ended  March  31,  2017  and  
March  31,  2016,  no  modifications  were  made  to  the  terms  and  conditions  of  ESOPs  as  approved  by  the  Nomination  & 
Remuneration Committee.

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.  No  stock  options  were  granted  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2017  (previous  year:  4,48,36,200).  The  various 
assumptions considered in the pricing model for the ESOPs granted during the year ended March 31, 2016 were:

The Shareholders of the Company approved a stock option scheme (viz. ESOS - II) in February 2017 (“Company Options”). 
Under the terms of the scheme, the Company issues stock options to employees, whole time director, managing director and 
directors (excluding Independent Directors) of the Company, each of which is convertible into one equity share.

Scheme ESOS - II provides for the issuance of options at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board 
of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) at a price of ` 1,136/- per share, being the fair market value of the share arrived 
by considering the average price of the two independent valuation reports.

Such  options  vest  at  definitive  dates,  save  for  specific  incidents,  prescribed  in  the  scheme  as  framed  /  approved  by 
the  Compensation  Committee.  Such  options  are  exercisable  for  a  period  following  the  vesting  at  the  discretion  of  the 
Compensation Committee.

Method used for accounting for shared based payment plan

The  Company  uses  the  Intrinsic Value  method  to  account  for  the  compensation  cost  of  stock  options  to  employees  of  the 
Company.

Accordingly, the Company has considered the volatility of the Company’s stock price as an average of the historical volatility 
of similar listed enterprises for the purpose of calculating the fair value to reduce any company specific variations. The various 
assumptions considered in the pricing model for the stock options granted by the Company during the year ended March 31,

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  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 
listed enterprise was not available. The various assumptions considered in the pricing model for the stock options granted by 
the Company during the year ended March 31, 2017 are:

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 favourable 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;  
e) Investment purchases pending settlement; f) Amount transferred to the RBI under the 
Depositor Education and Awareness Fund (DEAF).

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  at  March  31,  2017  (previous  year:  Nil)  towards  the 
present value of the guaranteed interest benefit obligation. The actuary has followed deterministic approach as prescribed by 
the guidance note.

20  Penalties levied by the RBI

Further to the media reports in October 2015 about irregularities in advance import remittances in various banks, the Reserve 
Bank of India (RBI) had conducted a scrutiny of the transactions carried out by the bank under Section 35(1A) of the Banking 
Regulation  Act,  1949. The  RBI  issued  a  Show  Cause  Notice  to  which  the  Bank  had  submitted  its  detailed  response.  After 
considering the Bank’s submission, the RBI imposed a penalty of ` 2.00 crore on the Bank vide its letter dated July 19, 2016 on 
account of pendency in receipt of bill of entry relating to advance import remittances made and lapses in adhering to KYC / AML 
guidelines in this respect. The penalty has since been paid. The Bank has implemented a comprehensive corrective action 
plan, to strengthen its internal control mechanisms so as to ensure that such incidents do not recur. The above matter does 
not  constitute  a  material  weakness  or  significant  deficiency  in  the  framework  of  internal  financial  controls  over  financial 
reporting maintained by the Bank under Section 134(3)(q) of the Companies Act 2013.

During the year ended March 31, 2016, RBI had not imposed any penalties on the Bank.

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 

Related Party Transactions

During  the  year  the  Bank  has  entered  into  transactions  with  the 
related  parties  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business. The  Bank  has 
not  entered  into  any  materially  significant  transactions  with  the 
related  parties  including  promoters,  directors,  the  management, 
subsidiaries  or  relatives  of  the  Directors,  which  could  lead  to  a 
potential  conflict  of  interest  between  the  Bank  and  these  parties. 
Transactions  with  related  parties  were  placed  before  the  Audit 

Committee/Board for approval. There were no material transactions 
with  related  parties,  which  were  not  in  the  normal  course  of 
business,  nor  were  there  any  material  transactions,  which  were 
not  at  an  arm’s  length  basis.  Details  of  related  party  transactions 
entered  into  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2017  are  given  in 
Schedule  18,  Note  No.  28  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://www.hdfcbank.com/htdocs/common/pdf/policy_for_
dealing_with_related_party_transactions.pdf

Commodity  Price  Risks  and  Foreign  Exchange  Risks  and 
hedging activities

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. 

The  Bank  being  an  authorized  dealer,  deals  in  foreign  exchange 
including  Gold  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 and interest rate securities. 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  Option  Greeks  (viz.  Delta  /  Gamma  /  Vega) 
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.  Also,  the  Bank  has  initiated  acceptance  of 
gold through gold monetization scheme and any exposures arising 
are accordingly hedged through the normal course of business or 
forward transactions. 

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 spot and 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 recognized in the 
Statement of Profit and Loss.

Corporate Governance

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 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 amortized as expense or income over the life 
of the contract.

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

Strictures and Penalties

During the financial year 2016-17, further to the media reports in 
October 2015 about irregularities in advance import remittances in 
various banks, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had conducted a 
scrutiny of the transactions carried out by the Bank under Section 
35(1A)  of  the  Banking  Regulation  Act,  1949.  The  RBI  issued  a 
Show Cause Notice to which the Bank had submitted its detailed 
response.  After  considering  the  Bank’s  submission,  the  RBI 
imposed a penalty of ` 2.00 crore on the Bank vide its letter dated  
July 19, 2016 on account of pendency in receipt of bill of entry relating 
to  advance  import  remittances  made  and  lapses  in  adhering  to  
KYC / AML guidelines in this respect. The penalty has since been 
paid. The Bank has implemented a comprehensive corrective action 
plan, to strengthen its internal control mechanisms so as to ensure 
that such incidents do not recur.

During the financial year 2015-16, 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. During the year 
2014-15,  FIU  had  imposed  a  penalty  of  `  26  lakhs  in  26  cases 
reported by Cobrapost.com, stating that there was a failure in the 
Bank’s  internal  mechanism  for  detecting  and  reporting  attempted 
suspicious  transactions. The  Bank  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.

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.

During  the  year,  Mr  Srikanth  Nadhamuni  was  appointed  as 
Additional  Director  with  effect  from  September  20,  2016  to  hold 
office till the conclusion of the ensuing Annual General Meeting of 
the  Bank.  Mr.  Nadhamuni  has  been  appointed  as  Director  having 
expertise in Information Technology.
