EVOLVING INTO AN EXPERIENCE BUSINESS, 
DIGITALLY

At HDFC Bank, customers are at the core of our digital evolution. Our suite of personalised products, services and 

digital  experiences,  redefine  our  commitment  to  provide  an  enhanced  experience  for  our  customers.  Intuitive 

products,  platform  agnostic  solutions  and  a  holistic  sophistication  across  devices  enable  us  to  create  unique 

experiences for our customers. Importantly, they are for everyone - both customers who have a relationship with us 

as well as those who do not. 

Shifting from transactional optimisation to experience differentiation

We believe that shifting our focus from transactional interactions to experience differentiation will give us a competitive 

advantage.

In  today’s  age  of  multiple  devices,  it  is  imperative  that  we  provide  a  cohesive  and  seamless  experience  to  our 

customers. It is also important that we anticipate customer requirements and provide solutions with a first-time-right 

approach. Integrating existing systems with newer technology platforms can help us design more satisfying customer 

experiences. With these objectives in mind, we are well on our way to revamping all our digital solutions – our website, 

including the NetBanking experience, the MobileBanking app, our digital wallet PayZapp and our compare-and-shop 

portal SmartBuy, to offer a consistent, seamless, intuitive and contextual journey across all platforms. 

For customers who prefer to explore by themselves, we have designed experiences, which enable them to select and 

purchase  our  most  relevant  solutions  with  ease.  Our  customers  can  select  products  ranging  from  loans  to  forex 

cards, and everything else that the bank can offer them, in an effortless and intuitive manner.

Creating a conversational experience

We  endeavor  to  humanize  conversations  and  transform  how  customers 

interact  with  us.  Through  meaningful  exchanges  with  over  four  crore 

customers,  we  take  every  opportunity  to  improve  the  quality  of  interactions 

across 

touch-points  and  enhance  customer  experience  by  making 

interactions more friendly, familiar and relevant.

Our  AI-based  chatbot  EVA  (Electronic  Virtual  Assistant)  is  available  on  all  digital 

platforms including the website, mobile site, and SmartBuy. EVA helps customers find 

information in a matter of seconds, eliminating the need to talk to a customer service 

agent. EVA amiably responds to both audio and text queries with élan. Today, EVA works 

in tandem with Google Assistant and Alexa. Our customers can simply say, "Ok Google, 

talk to HDFC Bank" or, “Alexa, what is the interest rate on an FD for a year?” to let EVA 

answer  queries.  Voice-activated  banking  automation  is  another  key  innovation  that 

reiterates our commitment to high quality customer experience 24X7.

EVOLVING INTO AN EXPERIENCE BUSINESS, DIGITALLY

HDFC Bank is the first bank to provide bot-based social media banking services to its customers. The country’s 

first social media banking bot, OnChat, helps customers transact on Facebook Messenger. Fast, easy and secure, 

OnChat enables our customers to search, discover, confirm, and pay for services, all within the same chat box. 

Using OnChat, customers can pay bills, check stock prices, recharge, book cabs, hotels, movie tickets and more.

Our DCC (Digital Command Centre) helps understand our customers better by learning from their preferences and 

concerns. Whether it is a complaint, a grievance, or an acknowledgement for our services, we respond immediately 

through our traditional and social media channels to ensure we are with and for our customers on a real time basis.

Experience differentiation through personalisation

Hyper-personalisation is another major step towards facilitating an enhanced customer experience and creating 

customized consumer journeys. This is done by offering customers the option to create a Customer ID of their own 

choice and real-time expense tracking. We were the first to offer customers the ability to personalize their most 

frequent transactions on an ATM over a decade ago.  

We  collaborate  with  leading  technology 

providers to enable us to understand our 

customer  requirements.  As  a  result,  our 

customer  conversations  are  now  more 

relevant  and  contextual.  Using  a 

combination  of  personalised  interfaces 

like  intelligent  notifications,  personalised 

banner displays etc., and digital apps, we 

are  able 

to  customize  experiences 

through  our  virtual  channels  as  well  as 

offer  it  to  more  customers.  Our  Insta 

Alerts enable customers to remain aware 

of every account-related activity, anytime, 

anywhere. Each innovation is an attempt 

at enhancing our customers’ experience.

Our  mission 

is 

to  script  bespoke 

customer 

journeys 

in 

this  age  of 

experience. Our approach of ‘Experience 

differentiation’  aims  to  fulfil  the  needs  of 

our customers, at every life stage, so that 

when they think about money, they think 

of HDFC Bank.

EVOLVING INTO AN EXPERIENCE BUSINESS, DIGITALLY

Setting the benchmark for effortless banking

It is our aim to customize our products and services to meet the unique needs and preferences of every HDFC 

Bank customer. We are aware of the need for a completely effortless interface and experience, which customers 

can navigate with ease, in an unassisted manner. 

Our 10 Second Loans have redefined the rules of the game. Forget cumbersome loan processes; today, when a 

pre-approved HDFC Bank customer requires a loan he enjoys the benefit of having the funds in his account within 

seconds. This paperless service is available to him 24X7, at the touch of a button. Similarly, when a bank customer 

applies for a Credit Card, he has the option of receiving a virtual InstaCard that is instantly activated and ready for 

immediate use.

PayZapp – our digital wallet has empowered customers to make instant 

digital payments through more convenient options like Scan-to-Pay.

Using  an  industry-first  approach,  we  have  implemented  a  self-sustained  accelerated  rewards  program.  Our 

SmartBuy platform leverages the power of the bank to bring the best merchant offers to customers. It provides 

those searching online for products and services with a list of options, including offers from the most preferred 

retailers, as well as the cheapest deals available. Over 1.5 million users visit SmartBuy, every month. 

To  help  customers  unlock  the  value  of  their  investments,  without  liquidating  them  during  exigencies,  we  have 

created Digital Loans against Securities and Mutual Funds. Customers can now pledge their securities and 

mutual fund assets online and get an overdraft limit set in under three minutes. All of this happens in three easy 

steps through the HDFC Bank website.

EVOLVING INTO AN EXPERIENCE BUSINESS, DIGITALLY

HDFC Bank SmartHub solutions provide existing and prospective customers with assistance to manage a host of 

activities like payments, admissions, appointments, donations and more. Over 8,000 educational institutions and 

2,500 government departments are active users on this platform. The SmartHub Merchant App, a counterpart of 

our smart banking solution, is a single merchant platform that customers use to make payments, monitor services 

and related servicing needs.

Innovating our way to the future

HDFC Bank is a trusted name in the banking sector today only because of the trust that our customers place in us. 

The passion to excel is in our DNA and every innovation intends to deliver an excellent digital banking experience to 

our customers. We ensure that we are truly the pioneers of experiential leadership in the banking sector, bringing 

the bank closer to the customer every day.

HDFC BANK PARIVARTAN – A STEP TOWARDS
PROGRESS

At  HDFC  Bank,  we  believe  the  real  development  of  a

Fighting the Maharashtra drought, one drop at a time

The  continuing  urbanization  of 

India  has 

indeed 

expanded  opportunities 

for  people..However,  one 

cannot  overlook  the  great  decline  that  our  agricultural 

sector  has  suffered.  One  of  the  many  millions  that  had 

fallen  victim  to  this  hardship  is  Tukojirao  Patil,  a  farmer 

from  Jalgaon,  Maharashtra.  The  lack  of  rainfall  was 

plaguing his village with acute water shortage. The soil,
deprived of moisture, caused 

crop  failure  year  after  year 

thereby  plummeting  Patil  to 

extreme poverty. Determined 

to bring about change, HDFC 

Bank Parivartan along with a

local NGO partner,  KVGPS, developed the village under its 

Holistic  Rural  Development  Program  (HRDP).  Measures  to 

tackle the drought by constructing 31 ground water recharge 

structures were implemented, improving the water levels and 

helping the village get back the water it was once rich with.

Learning  is  as  much  a 

matter  of  the  heart  as  it  is 

of  the  mind.  While  our 

education system strives to 

impart the right knowledge 

to  the  young  minds  of  our  country,  at  times,  the 

individual  needs  of  some  are  ignored.  Shamshad 

Qureshi,  a  class  7  student,  was  one  of  these 

individuals. He lacked interest in studies and this was 

apparent  from  his  poor  attendance.  This  disinterest 

was largely because he lacked understanding of what 

was being taught in school. Project Disha, supported 

by HDFC Bank, helped teachers start using innovative 

methods and activity-based teaching to address this 

challenge.  Equipped  with  these  new  ways  to  learn, 

Shamshad  and  his  friends  have  now  started  looking 

forward  to  school  and  we  hope  in  time,  these 

innovative techniques will usher in a new perspective 
on  education  in  India...............................................

Ponsara girls create history

India has experienced rapid growth and development 
in 
the  past  years  across  various  domains. 
Unfortunately, gender equality is not one of them. No 
nation can progress unless its women are given equal 
access  to  opportunities.  HDFC  Bank  Parivartan  is 
devoting  its  energies  to  overcome  this  hurdle  by
initiating  skill  development  programmes  across  the 
nation. Under this initiative, the SWADHAAR Computer 
Training  Course  at  Ponsara  Centre  equips  women  to 
join the workforce with core skill training development.

Raswanti brings open defecation to a close

As  India  enters  a  new 

era  of  leadership  on 

the  world  stage,  the 

nation, as a whole, has 

realized that change at 

home has a significant 

impact 

on 

this 

progress.    Raswanti  Rai,  having  followed  the  age-old 

practice of open defecation, was no longer willing to risk the 

safety and dignity of her daughter or herself. Facilitated by 

HDFC Bank’s construction of Individual Household Latrines 

(IHHL)  under  the  Swachh  Bharat  Mission,  Raswanti 

pledged  to  use  and  maintain  the  toilet.  She  is  now  a  key

she mastered the art of dressmaking and started her 

own sewing institution with just two machines. HDFC 

Bank Parivartan enabled her to buy more machines 

that helped her grow her business. From the money 

earned,  she  renovated  her  house  and  is  currently 

supporting  her  family  of  four.  Today,  Sulochana  is  a

to  inspire  communities  to  be  self-reliant  and  make 

them  equal  partners  in  the  growth  of  our  nation.

We are realizing this dream through our core value of 

sustainability—that  enables  families  to  break  out  of 

the  vicious  cycle  of  poverty  and  draws  them  into  a 

cycle  of  growth,  development  and  empowerment, 

while  simultaneously  maintaining 

the  ecological

giant transformation.

WORKING WITH THE GOVERNMENT

We, at HDFC Bank, have always believed that the role of 

any  corporate/company  is  to  assist  in  furthering  the 

government’s developmental agenda for the country. We 

understand and acknowledge that it is not merely our role 

but also our responsibility as corporate citizens. Over the 

years,  we  have  collaborated  with  the  government  to 

deliver key changes that are critical to India’s growth.  

Here  are  some  of  the  more  recent  initiatives  that  HDFC 

Bank has worked on in conjunction with the Government 

of India.

Digital India Initiative

The  Ministry  of  Electronics  &  Information  Technology 

(MeitY) has ranked HDFC Bank as the Number 1 bank for 

supporting several initiatives executed by the Ministry. We 

are proud to be one of the few banks that achieved the 

targets  to  install  Point  of  Sale  (PoS)  units,  integrate  the 

Bharat  QR  payment  system  and  promote  the  BHIM 

mobile app based on the Unified Payment Interface (UPI) 

following demonetization.  ...............................................  

Banking on Bharat

Our  vision  is  aligned  to  that  of  our  government’s  to 

provide world-class services to everyone. We are actively 

working  with  panchayats  across  the  country  to  provide 
them all banking solutions and have already opened over 
60,000 panchayat accounts. .........................

Startup India

with  various  state  governments  and  accelerators  and 

promote entrepreneurship:

MoUs  signed  with  three  state  governments  to 

enable proper execution of their start-up policy. We 

provide start-ups with an opportunity to work with 

us and evaluate their need for funding.

We  collaborate  with  seven  incubators  certified  by 

the  Department  of  Science  and  Technology, 

including  various  IITs  and  IIMs,  to  identify  social 

start-ups that require financial and advisory support. 

Partnering on PFMS (Public Fund 
Management System) and
e-Governance projects

HDFC Bank also plays an active role in the development 

of large projects like GeM and PFMS. Dedicated teams 

from the bank work closely with government authorities 

and play a critical role by providing real-time, on-ground 

feedback  for  refinement  of  project  architectures.  In 

addition, the bank enables automation and digitization 

for  various  government  departments  to  help  generate 

time  and  cost  efficiencies.  For  example,  we  are 

developing  end  to  end  technology  solutions  for  state 

governments  to  manage  large  impact  schemes  like 

National Health Mission, PMAY, MGNREGA, etc. more 

efficiently.  The  bank  has  been  working  on  various 

e-Governance 

initiatives  by 

running  projects 

like 

MahaOnline (Maharashtra), Mee Seva (Andhra Pradesh) 

HDFC  Bank  has  created  its  own  start-up  fund  to  work 

and currently evaluating a project for West Bengal.

Directors' Report

Dear Shareholders,

Your Directors take great pleasure in presenting the 24th Annual 
Report on the business and operations of your Bank, together 
with the audited accounts for the year ended March 31, 2018.

It has been a challenging but historic year for India’s economy, 
especially  for  the  banking  sector,  with  heightened  asset 
quality  stress  levels  and  operating  risks.  While  the  effects  of 
demonetisation  spilled  over  into  the  first  quarter,  the  second 
quarter  marked  the  rollout  of  the  much  awaited  Goods  and 
Services Tax (GST). The introduction of this composite tax saw 
many  levies  being  done  away  with  and  marked  a  huge  step 
towards transforming India into a giant common market. In the 
long run, GST is expected to give a fillip to the economy as a 
whole; in the short term, however, this led to initial growth pangs, 
particularly in the cash-dependent sectors of the industry such 
as Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

In the year under review, your Bank:

end, your Bank has chosen to bring about a holistic change in 
the lives of people. You will be happy to know that for the second 
consecutive year it met the mandatory 2 per cent Corporate Social 
Responsibility (CSR) expenditure with a spend of  ` 374 crore. 
Parivartan,  the  new  umbrella  CSR  brand,  is  expected  to  lend 
a sharper focus to these efforts. To put matters in perspective,

board mandated Sustainable Livelihood Initiative (SLI) to make 
a difference to the lives of 1 crore households. SLI helps people 
improve their lives by upgrading their skillsets and, thus, enabling 
them to break out of the cycle of poverty. Under its Holistic Rural 
Development Programme (HRDP), the Bank transforms lives in 
rural India and thus helps bridge the gap with urban India.

Awards and Recognition

The Bank continues to be awarded and win laurels. Notably, it 
was named India’s most valuable brand for the fourth year in a 
row in the BrandZ survey of Top 50 Most Valuable Indian Brands.

20.2 per cent. Similarly, at ` 40,094.9 crore, Net Interest Income 
rose by almost 21 per cent. Core Net Interest Margin remained 
stable at 4.3 per cent. Net Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) at 0.4  
per cent is among the lowest in the industry. This was largely due 
to the Bank’s prudent credit evaluation of the targeted customer 
profile and having a diversified loan book spread across customer 
segments, products, sectors and managing risk-return decisions 
with discipline.

Fund Raising 

The Bank is awaiting the receipt of relevant approvals for raising 
of additional capital up to an aggregate sum of ` 24,000 crore, of 
which such number of equity shares of face value of ` 2/- each 
aggregating up to ` 8,500 crore are proposed to be allotted to

by issuing Perpetual bonds of ` 8,000 crore and Tier II capital of 
` 2,000 crore.

Increased Digitisation 

Summary 

Your  Bank  today  caters  to  more  than  4.36  crore  customers. 
Although it has 4,787 banking outlets, what is noteworthy is that 
an overwhelming 85 per cent of transactions are through digital 
channels. This  has  led  to  a  larger  distribution  footprint  and  a 
superior customer experience resulting in higher market share 
at lower cost.

Greater Social Commitment  

The  Bank’s  guiding  force  is  the  belief  that  businesses  cannot 
prosper if the communities in which they operate fail. Towards this 

In another development in the year under review, the Reserve Bank 
of India (RBI) has identified your Bank as a Domestic Systemically 
Important Bank (D-SIB). This means that its continued functioning 
is  critical  for  the  uninterrupted  availability  of  essential  banking 
services to the economy. To sum up, your Bank is geared up for 
the next phase of growth, given the looming market opportunities 
(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0) (cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0) (cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:0) (cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:0) (cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:0) (cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0) (cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0) (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:14)(cid:0) 
This,  of  course,  would  not  have  been  possible  without  the 
contribution of over 88,000 employees across the country, who 
represent the brand and take it forward every day.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Macroeconomic and Industry Developments

Over  the  last  two  years,  the  Government  has  taken  some  key 
policy  decisions  including  a  recapitalisation  plan  of  `  2,10,000 
crore  for  public  sector  banks  and  introduction  of  the  GST.  
As mentioned earlier, the growth pangs are only short-term and 
in the long run, GST is expected to give a fillip to the economy 
as a whole.

The slowdown in growth witnessed during 2016-17 (compared  
with  2015-16)  intensified  in  the  first  quarter  of  2017-18;  GDP 
growth  slowed  to  a  13-quarter  low  of  5.7  per  cent,  sharply 
lower  than  7.9  per  cent  expansion  in  the  same  quarter  of  the 
preceding  year.  But,  as  the  transitory  impact  of  both  GST  and 
the demonetisation shock is on the wane, the economy appears 
to  be  gradually  regaining  momentum.  GDP  growth  rebounded 
to 6.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2017-18, and further to  
7.2 per cent in the third quarter of 2017-18 after slowing down 
in the past five quarters. Going by the 2018 Union Budget, the 
focus of fiscal policy in the coming year will be on revival of the 
rural economy and infrastructure expenditure.

Notwithstanding  some  positive  uptake  in  private  investment 
growth in the second quarter, we believe incremental pick-up in 
private capital expenditure is likely to be sector and sub-sector 
specific  and  gradual.  We  expect  a  more  formidable  recovery 
in private capital expenditure cycle by the first half of the year 
ending March 31, 2019. Overall, on the back of the assumption 
of a pick-up in private consumption, gradual recovery in private 
capital expenditure and continued support from Government-led 
capital spending we expect the real GDP growth for 2018-19 to 
rise to 7.3 per cent from 6.6 per cent in 2017-18.

The moderation in inflation which was seen in 2016-17 continued 
in the early part of 2017-18 as well, with the CPI falling to a series 

low of 1.5 per cent in June 2017 driven by both lower food and 
core  inflation.  Having  averaged  2.6  per  cent  in  the  first  half  of 
2017-18, inflation inched up slightly in the second half (average 
close to 4.4 per cent in second half of 2017-18). Going ahead in

the base effect could be favourable and lead to some moderation 
in inflation, a lot would depend on how other risks like rising oil 
prices,  higher  minimum  support  prices  impact  of  housing  rent 
allowance increase by several state governments pan out. 

Given the recent softer inflation prints while the RBI can afford 
to wait longer and maintain status quo, eventually, we believe, 
that elevation of some of the upside risks along with the revival 
in rural demand could lead to a rate hike by the last quarter of 
2018-19.

increase in oil prices, which could adversely affect inflation, fiscal 
deficit and the current account deficit. Risks on the external front 
continue to loom on account of monetary policy uncertainty in 
the  developed  nations  (particularly  on  rate  hikes’  side),  Brexit 
related uncertainty in the UK and rising protectionist tendencies, 
especially in the US.

(Net Interest Income Plus Other Income) rising by 21.7 per cent 
to ` 55,315.2 crore from ` 45,435.7 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  21 
per cent to ` 40,094.9 crore due to acceleration in loan growth 
coupled with Core Net Interest Margin (CNIM) of 4.3 per cent.

expenses,  the  Cost  to  Income  Ratio  improved  to  41  per  cent 
from 43.4 per cent.

excluding  Write-offs  is  70  per  cent;  including  General  and 
Floating provisions, it is 121 per cent. Your Bank made General

Profit  increased  by  20.2  per  cent  to  `  17,486.8  crore  from  
` 14,549.7 crore. The Return on Average Net Worth was 18 per 
cent  while  the  Basic  Earnings  Per  Share  was  `  67.8,  up  from

`  8,63,840  crore  on  March  31,  2017.  Total  Deposits  rose 
by  22.5  per  cent  to  `  7,88,771  crore  from  `  6,43,640  crore.

growth also increased. 

Savings Account Deposits grew by 15.6 per cent to ` 2,23,810  
crore  while  Current  Account  Deposits  rose  by  3.2  per  cent  to 
`  1,19,283  crore.  Time  Deposits  stood  at  `  4,45,678  crore,

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Our Bank’s operations are split into domestic and international, 
albeit small.

DOMESTIC BUSINESS

Our domestic business comprises the following:

A)   Retail Banking

Your  Bank’s  Retail  Banking  Business  registered  robust 
growth in the year under review. Total Retail Deposits grew by  
14.4 per cent to ` 5,80,006 crore from ` 5,06,843 crore in the 
preceding year while Retail Advances rose by 27.4 per cent to 
` 3,76,167 crore from ` 2,95,161 crore.

Growth  in  Retail  Assets  was  led  by  Personal  Loans,  Auto 
Loans and, Credit Cards.

The  Bank  is  a  leader  in  the  Auto  Loans  Segment  with  a 
strong  presence  in  commercial  vehicle  and  two-wheeler 
financing.  Four-wheeler  financing  registered  a  strong  
22.8 per cent growth. 

In Two-Wheeler Financing, your Bank is the first in the country 
to cross the 10 lakh vehicles milestone. In the Commercial 
Vehicle  Segment,  your  Bank  was  able  to  ward  off  intense 
competition and log robust profitable growth using its strong 
brand equity and service. It chose not to compete on price.

The Personal Loan Business also surged to ` 71,876 crore on 
the back of strong product offerings and speedy disbursals. 
The Bank is a pioneer in various digital loans. Your Bank’s 
10 second Personal Loan and Digital Loan Against Shares 
were industry firsts.

In the credit card business, your Bank achieved yet another 
milestone  during  the  fiscal  by  becoming  the  first  bank  in 
the  country  to  issue  one  crore  cards.  Existing  customers 
accounted for 82 per cent of the new cards issued.

In  addition  to  this,  the  Bank  operates  in  the  Home  Loan 
business  in  conjunction  with  HDFC  Limited.  As  per  this 
arrangement,  the  Bank  sells  HDFC  Home  Loans  while 
HDFC Ltd approves and disburses them. 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, ` 2,000 crore of Home Loans every month in the 
year under review. 

The Bank also distributes Life Insurance, General Insurance 
and Mutual Funds, often referred to as Third-Party Products.

Directors' Report

Income  from  this  business  grew  by  51  percent  from  
`  1,381  crore  to  `  2,091  crore  and  accounted  for  
18 per cent of total fee income in the year ended March 31, 
2018 , compared with 16 per cent in the preceding year. This 
was primarily on account of distribution of mutual funds of 
the top asset management companies in the country. Mutual 
Fund  industry  saw  an  unprecedented  flow  of  household 
savings into the mutual funds. In the system the AUM of the  
individual  investors  grew  by  36.8  per  cent  to  about  `  11.7 
lakh crore* as of March 31, 2018. 

Your  bank  has  adopted  an  open  architecture  model  by 
entering into multiple corporate agency agreements in life, 
general  and  health  insurance  distribution.  During  the  year 
under  review  your  Bank  tied  up  with  two  life  insurance, 
two  general  insurance  and  three  health  insurance  service 
providers in addition to the existing tie-ups.

*Source for Industry numbers (AMFI India)

12,260. The  number  of  customers  your  Bank  catered  to 
as on March 31, 2018 was over 4.36 crore from 4.05 crore 
in the previous year.

The Payments Business where your Bank has a dominant 
presence  merits  a  special  mention.  With  2.43  crore  debit 
cards, 1.07 crore credit cards and 4.04 lakh POS terminals 
and m-PoS installations, it is among the largest facilitators of 
cashless payments using plastic in the country.

The Bank has made rapid strides in adopting other aspects 
of  digitisation  as  well. The  Bank’s  payments  business  has 
launched  digital  offerings  such  as  Bharat  QR  Code,  UPI, 
Aadhaar  and  SMS  pay  solutions.  It  has  also  pioneered 
path-breaking  products  such  as  the  SmartHub  app  for 
small  merchants  and  DigiPos,  which  enables  traditional 
PoS  machines  to  accept  digital  payments.  Merchants  and 
customers alike have found these solutions useful.

review, 

the  year  under 

In 
the  Virtual  Relationship  
Management  (VRM)  programmme  gained  substantial 
traction. Through  this,  relationship  managers  reach  out  to 
customers  through  remote  and  digital  platforms,  leading 
to  deeper  engagement  in  a  cost-effective  manner.  These 
managers  are  a  single  point  of  contact  for  customers 
banking and financial needs. This programme which offers  
tailor-made solutions, using carefully drawn customer level 
plans  has  been  well  received  in  the  18  months  since  its 
launch.  The  number  of  customers  has  trebled  during  this 
period. 

B)   Wholesale Banking

This  business  focuses  on  institutional  customers  such  as 
the  Government,  Large  and  Emerging  Corporates,  and 
SMEs. Your Bank’s offerings in this segment include Working 
Capital  and  Term  Loans  as  well  as  Trade  Credit,  Cash 
Management, Supply Chain Financing, Foreign Exchange, 
and Investment Banking services. The Wholesale Banking 
business  recorded  healthy  growth,  ending  the  year  with  a 
loan book size of approximately ` 2,88,000 crore constituting 
about 43 per cent of the Bank’s total book.

This  was  an 
increase  of  about  9.5  per  cent  over 
approximately ` 2,63,000 crore recorded in the previous year.  
The performance in this segment must be seen in the wider 
context  of  an  otherwise  subdued  credit  environment  and 
excess  liquidity  in  the  banking  system,  which  exercised  a 
downward  pressure  on  interest  rates  for  much  of  the  year. 
The Bank was able to expand its share of the customer wallet, 
primarily using sharper customisation and cross-selling.

Corporate  Banking,  which  focuses  on  large,  well-rated 
companies,  continued  to  remain  the  biggest  contributor 
to  Wholesale  Banking  in  terms  of  asset  size.  Despite  a 
subdued  credit  environment,  the  Emerging  Corporates 
Group,  which  focuses  on  the  mid-market  segment,  too 
witnessed significant growth. 

Your Bank leveraged its vast geographical reach, technology 
backbone, automated processes, suite of financial products 
and quick turnaround times to offer a differentiated service, 
which  has  resulted  in  new  customer  acquisition  as  well 
as  a  higher  share  of  the  wallet  from  existing  customers.  
The  business  continues  to  have  a  diversified  portfolio  in 
terms of both industry and geography. 

The year under review has been a challenging but defining 
one  for  Micro,  Small  and  Medium  Enterprises  (MSMEs).  
The  sector  faced  temporary  challenges  arising  from  clarity 
and  compliance  issues  in  the  implementation  of  GST. 
Your  Bank  fine-tuned  its  strategy  and  capitalised  on  new 
opportunities to grow the business. The Bank’s advances to 
MSMEs amounted to ` 89,042.1 crore as on March 31, 2018.

The  Investment  Banking  business  cemented  its  already 
prominent  position  in  the  Debt  Capital  Markets.  For  three 
consecutive years now, your Bank has been ranked 2nd in 
the Bloomberg rankings of Rupee Bond book runners.

In the Government business, the Bank sustained its focus 
on  tax  collections,  collecting  direct  tax  of  `  2.61  lakh 
crore and indirect tax of ` 0.85 lakh crore during the year.  
In addition to the taxes / duties collected on behalf of several 
state  governments,  the  Bank  also  collected  `  1.01  lakh 
crore in the form of GST. We continue to enjoy a pre-eminent 
position  among  the  country’s  major  stock  and  commodity 
exchanges in both Cash Management Services and Cash 
Settlement Services.

The Bank has, as part of its digitisation drive, ensured a larger 
conversion of cash payments into electronic ones. The ‘Trade-
on-Net’ offering, which gives clients access to a host of services 
such as Remittances, Letters of Credit and Guarantees, has 
gained  acceptance.  SM@Bank,  our  online  solution  for  SME 
customers, also continued to gather momentum.

Your Bank’s pre-eminent position in the Wholesale Business 
was  recognised  in  a  survey  conducted  by  Greenwich 
Associates,  a  leading  global  provider  of  market  and 
intelligence  services.  It  rated  your  Bank  as  number  one 
in  India  in  the  middle  market  segment  in  terms  of  market 
penetration and number two in the large corporate segment.

C)   Treasury

The  Treasury  is  the  custodian  of  the  Bank’s  cash  /  liquid 
assets  and  handles  its  investments  in  securities,  foreign 
exchange  and  cash  instruments.  It  manages  the  liquidity 
and  interest  rate  risks  on  the  balance  sheet  and  is  also 
responsible for meeting reserve requirements. The vertical 
also  helps  manage  the  treasury  needs  of  customers  and 
earns a substantial part of its revenues through fee income 
generated from transactions customers undertake with the 
Bank  while  managing  their  foreign  exchange  and  interest 
rate risks.

Revenue  accrues  from  spreads  on  customer  transactions 
based  on  trade  and  remittance  flows  and  demonstrated 
hedging  needs.  The  Bank  recorded  revenue  of  `  1,523.5 
crore from foreign exchange and derivative transactions in 
the year under review. While plain vanilla forex products were 
in demand across all customer segments, the demand for 
derivative  products  came  mostly  from  large  and  emerging 
corporates. 

As a part of prudent risk management, the Bank enters into 
foreign  exchange  and  derivative  deals  with  counterparties 
after  it  has  set  up  appropriate  credit  limits  based  on  its 
evaluation  of  the  ability  of  the  counterparty  to  meet  its 
obligations.  Where  the  Bank  enters  into  foreign  currency 
derivative contracts not involving the Indian Rupee with its 
customers, it typically lays them off in the inter-bank market 
(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:0)(cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:14)(cid:0)(cid:38)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:73)(cid:71)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:12)(cid:0)
the Bank primarily carries the counterparty credit risk (where 
the  customer  has  crystallised  payables  or  mark-to-market 
losses)  and  may  carry  only  residual  market  risk  if  any.  
The  Bank  also  deals  in  derivatives  on  its  own  account, 
including  for  the  purpose  of  its  own  balance  sheet  risk 
management.

The Bank maintains a portfolio of Government Securities, in 
line with regulatory norms governing the Statutory Liquidity 
Ratio  (SLR).  A  significant  portion  of  these  SLR  securities 
are  held  in  the  ‘Held-to-Maturity’  (HTM)  category,  while 
(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:0) (cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:0) (cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:64)(cid:33)(cid:86)(cid:65)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:66)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0) (cid:51)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:7)(cid:0) (cid:8)(cid:33)(cid:38)(cid:51)(cid:9)(cid:0) (cid:67)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:71)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:14)(cid:0) 
The  Bank  is  also  a  Primary  Dealer  for  Government 

Securities. As a part of this business, as well as otherwise, 
the  Bank  holds  fixed  income  securities  in  the  ‘Held  for 
(cid:52)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:68)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:7)(cid:0)(cid:8)(cid:40)(cid:38)(cid:52)(cid:9)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:71)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:14)

The Bank is in the process of implementing a new Treasury 
solution provided by Murex. The first phase of implementation 
went live this year and full implementation will be completed 
in the next 12-18 months. This will be an integrated solution 
for  front-office,  mid-office  and  back-office  and  will  replace 
many existing software / systems. 

D)   Partnering with the Government

You will be happy to know that your Bank has been closely 
working with the Government both at the Central and State 
levels primarily in the following three areas:

1)   Digitisation and Digital India

a)   Ministry  of  Electronics  &  Information  Technology 
(MeitY)  has  ranked  your  Bank  as  the  Number  1 
Bank  for  supporting  many  of  its  initiatives.  Your 
Bank is proud to be one of the few banks that was 
able to meet the targets in installing Point of Sale 
(PoS)  units,  Bharat  QR  and  BHIM  app  following 
demonetisation. 

b)   The Bank partnered with Thane city to launch the

host  of  schemes  including  Direct  Benefit Transfer 
(DBT)  and  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural 
Employee  Guarantee  Act  reach  the  intended 
beneficiaries.  Towards  this  end,  it  has  partnered 
with  various  Panchayats  across  the  country  for

2)   Customised  Banking  Solution  for  Government 

Employees 

Your Bank has designed a banking package to suit the 
needs of government employees, at the state and central 
levels.  The  offering  includes  an  overdraft  secured  by 
their  salary  account,  complimentary  insurance  covers 
and fine pricing on loans.

3)   Start-Up Fund and SmartUp Banking

Through  its  SmartUp  Programme  for  Start-ups  and   
Start-Up Fund, your Bank is working with various state 
governments and incubators / accelerators to promote 
entrepreneurship.  Memoranda  of  Understanding  have 
already  been  signed  with  three  state  governments  to 
enable  execution  of  varied  aspects  of  their  respective 
start-up  policies.  Your  Bank  also  works  with  seven 
incubators  certified  by  the  Department  of  Science 
and  Technology,  including  various  Indian  Institutes 
of  Technology  and  Indian  Institutes  of  Management, 
to  identify  Social  Start-ups  that  require  financial  and 
advisory support.

E)   Rural

1)   Agriculture and Allied Activities

Your Bank’s credit to Agriculture and Allied activities stood 
at  `  1,13,160.6  crore  on  March  31,  2018,  representing 
an  increase  of  45.2  per  cent  over  `  77,921.0  crore  in  the 
previous year.

Over  half  of  India’s  population  depends  on  agriculture  for 
livelihood. The key to the Bank’s success here has been its 
ability to tap the opportunities herein through the following:

(cid:115)(cid:0) (cid:55)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:71)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:0)

(cid:38)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:77)(cid:69)

Our  product  range  includes  Pre  and  Post-Harvest  Crop 
Loans,  Two-Wheeler  and  Auto  Loans  and  Loans  against 
Gold Jewellery, Personal Loans and other mortgage loans. 
Consequently, the Bank has established a strong footprint in 
the rural hinterland with Crop Loans. Apart from advising the 
farmers on their financial needs, your Bank is increasingly 
focusing  on 
them  on  benefits  of  various 
government  /  regulatory  schemes  such  as  crop  insurance 
and interest subvention. 

facilitating 

The Bank has also designed a range of crop and geography-
specific products keeping in mind the harvest cycles and the 
local needs of farmers spread across diverse agro climatic 
zones. 

Using  technology,  we  are  able  to  disburse  some  loans 
within three working days (in select geographies) and loan 
enhancements in a few seconds through ATMs and mobile

phones.  Our  products  such  as  Post-Harvest  Cash  Credit 
and Warehouse Receipt Financing enable faster cash flows 
to the farmer. Credit is also disbursed to allied agricultural 
activities such as Dairy, Pisciculture, and Sericulture.

Twelve  farmer  centres  or  Kisan  Dhan Vikas  Kendras  have 
been  rolled  out  in  Punjab,  Maharashtra,  Uttar  Pradesh 
and  Madhya  Pradesh.  At  these  centres,  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. 
The Bank also provides advisory on weather, cropping, and 
harvesting through SMS.

Digitising  Payments,  Easing  Cash  Flow:  This  is  our 
effort  to  facilitate  transparency  in  the  milk  procurement 
and  payment  process.  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, including the 
quality of milk, 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  that  can  then  be  used  as  the  basis  for  accessing 
bank credit. Apart from 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.

Replacing the Moneylender: Loans against Gold Jewellery 
grew  to  over  `  5,500  crore  from  over  `  4,800  crore  the 
preceding  year. Your  Bank  is  slowly  making  inroads  into  a 
market  traditionally  dominated  by  the  unorganised  sector 
and pawn brokers. The entry of organised players into the 
sector  has  increased  both  awareness  and  transparency. 
The Bank has been able to serve the section of people who 
would  traditionally  rely  on  the  moneylender  through  faster 
turnaround times.

Helping Farmers: Farm yield and income are subject to the 
vagaries of the weather. Factors like soil health, input quality 
(seeds and fertilizers), availability of water and government 
policy also impact this. So do price realisation and storage 
facilities. Your  Bank  has  launched  a  variety  of  products  to 
ease the stress on farm income and rural households. 

Over  the  last  few  years,  several  parts  of  the  country 
have  been  severely  impacted  by  natural  calamities  such 
as  drought,  unseasonal  rains,  hailstorms,  and  floods.  
Within regulatory guidelines, the Bank has been providing 
relief to impacted farmers. It also has systems designed to 
enable Direct Benefit Transfers in a time-bound manner. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Directors' Report

Lending to the agriculture sector, including to the small and 
marginal farmers is a regulatory mandate as part of priority 
sector lending requirements. This has inherent credit risks. 
Your Bank has built policies and product programmes and 
engages closely with farmers to mitigate risks and protect 
portfolio quality. The Bank is also exploring the use of remote 
sensing technologies and analytics to strengthen crop and 
farm level assessment.

2)   Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) 

Advances  to  the  MSME  segment  as  on  March  31,  2018 
stood at ` 89,042.1 crore as against ` 85,166.6 crore a year 
ago.  Its  advances  to  the  Micro  Enterprises  alone  stood  at 
` 40,644.7 crore. The Emerging Enterprises and Business 
Banking  Groups  cater  to  the  Micro  Enterprises  and  SME 
segments respectively.

The  MSME  sector  serves  as  an  important  engine  for 
economic  growth.  It  contributes  33  per  cent  to  India’s 
to  exports.  
manufacturing  output  and  45  per  cent 
With 12 crore people employed across five crore MSME units, 
 it is the second largest employer after agriculture accounting 
for 40 per cent of the workforce. This is the fastest growing 
segment  in  the  commercial  lending  space  and  constituted 
23  per  cent  of  credit  outstanding  in  the  year  under 
review.  Credit  to  Micro  Enterprises  grew  at  a  faster  clip  of  
20 per cent as against nine per cent for SMEs. 

The  year  ended  March  31,  2018  was  a  challenging  one 
for  the  MSME  business  due  to  the  introduction  of  GST  in 
terms  of  clarity  and  compliance.  It  also  led  to  temporary 
increase  in  working  capital  requirement  for  customers.  
GST implementation is seen as a positive in the long run as 
it is expected to lead to further formalisation of the informal 
sector  and  thus  open  up  new  and  safer  opportunities  for 
bank financing. Needless to say, in the case of existing firms 
too, greater transparency will lead to better credit quality.

Implementation  of  GST,  demonetisation,  the  Government 
push and the advent of the next-generation of entrepreneurs 
have  all  driven  a  steady  shift  towards  digital  transactions.  
In what could be a potential game changer for the business, 
Your  Bank’s  complete  online  solution  the  SM@Bank  for 
SME  customers,  is  seeing  greater  customer  adoption 
across  geographies.  Through  this,  customers  can  access 
credit  facility  information,  request  temporary  overdraft 
facilities,  ask  for  new  facilities  and  submit  documents  to 
the  Bank  for  straight  through  processing  on  a  24*7  basis.  
This is now poised to gain further momentum. Like in every 
other  business  unit,  increasing  use  of  analytics  is  giving 
your Bank an edge.

3)   Taking Banking to the Unbanked

Your  Bank  is  fully  committed  to  taking  banking  to  the 
remotest  parts  of  the  country  through  the  combination  of 
an extensive physical network and a robust digital suite of 

products and services. Today, over 53 per cent of the Bank’s 
outlets are located in rural and semi-urban areas. The Bank 
also  offers  last  mile  access  through  mobile  applications 
such  as  BHIM,  UPI,  USSD,  Scan  and  Pay,  Aadhaar,  and 
RuPay enabled Micro-ATMs. 

To bring more under-banked sections of the population into 
formal financial channels, your Bank has opened over 17.72 
lakh accounts under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana 
(PMJDY) and enrolled over 29.37 lakh customers in social

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS 

As on March 31, 2018, the balance sheet size of this business 
was US $ 4.13 billion. Advances constituted close to 3.1 per cent 
of the Bank’s gross advances. The total income of the overseas 
branches constituted 0.86 per cent of the Bank’s total income for 
the year. Though the number is small, what is significant is that 
your Bank is able to cater to a large and growing Indian diaspora. 

As you would know, your Bank has overseas branches in Bahrain,

to  bring  about  change  in  the  lives  of  people  making  them  
self-reliant and part of the national mainstream. Working largely 
through  communities,  Parivartan  focuses  on  the  following

As  noted  before,  Sustainability  is  one  of  your  Bank’s  core 
values. Your Bank’s belief is that businesses should support the 
communities in which they operate. We are happy to report that 
your  Bank,  through  its  several  social  initiatives  (including  SLI) 
has made a difference to the lives of over 3.5 crore Indians. 

Rural Development

The Holistic Rural Development Programme (HRDP) is born out 
of  the  conviction  that  the  nation  will  progress  only  when  rural 
India grows. Over half the country’s population lives in rural areas 
and  is  primarily  dependent  on  agriculture  for  their  livelihood. 
Our efforts here are focused on areas of soil, water and natural 
resource management and sanitation, issues that rural India is 
often  plagued  by. These  are  often  multi-pronged  interventions. 
Soil  conservation  for  instance  will  typically  cover  educating 
people  about  use  of  organic  fertilisers.  Water  management 
will  entail  construction,  renovation  and  maintenance  of  water 
harvesting  structures  for  improving  surface  and  ground  water 
availability.  Likewise  educating  people  on  renewable  energy 
often forms part of our natural resource management efforts. 

Spread  over  16  states,  the  programme  covers  over  2.9  lakh 
households  across  870  villages.  Over  18,000  acres  of  arable 
land  have  been  treated  to  enhance  productivity.  Umpathaw  in 
Meghalaya, became the 750th village to be covered under the 
programme in the year under review.

Promoting Education

There  is  no  better  gift  to  humanity  than  education.  Improving 
the  quality  of  education  is  a  focus  area  under  Parivartan.  
Your  Bank’s  efforts  in  this  area  include  teacher  training, 
scholarships  and  career  guidance.  It  also  includes  providing 
infrastructure  support,  such  as  building  toilets  in  schools  and 
improving  classrooms.  At  the  community  level,  this  entails 
educating  people  on  the  importance  of  Water,  Sanitation  and 
Hygiene  (WaSH)  and  creating  awareness  on  issues  related  to 
road safety and healthy financial practices. 

The  flagship  programme  here  is  Zero  Investment  Innovations 
for  Education  Initiatives  (ZIIEI).  This  ‘Teaching  The  Teacher’ 
programme  (3T)  seeks  to  transform  education  in  government 
schools  across  India.  This  is  a  unique  programme  which  is 
committed  to  improving  the  skills  of  teachers,  which  in  turn 
benefits the pupils.

migration.  

The  nationwide  programme  has  benefitted  over  51,000 
individuals. 

The  programme  also  has  another  leg  where  placement-linked 
training is provided to youth and career counselling is provided 
to young school students. So far over 3,000 have received skill 
development training.

The  flagship  programme  under  Skills  Training  and  Livelihood 
Enhancement is the Sustainable Livelihood Initiative (SLI).

Sustainable Livelihood Initiative 

This  initiative  aims  at  ‘Creating  Sustainable  Communities’.  
It does so by empowering women and helping them break the 
vicious circle of poverty. Empowering women, we believe, means 
empowering families. Women form Self Help Groups (SHGs) or 
Joint Liability Groups (JLGs). The women under the programme 
are  given  occupational  skills  training,  financial  literacy,  credit 
counselling and livelihood finance and market linkage. The Bank 
is mandated by its Board to cover 1 crore households and so far 
81.8 lakh have been covered. 

It’s  a  unique  programme  with  perhaps  no  parallel  globally.  
What makes it so are the following:

1) 

It’s an all-women programme

2) 

It  covers  womenfolk  across  the  length  and  breadth  of  a 
country as vast as India. It is present in 27 states and over 
400 districts

3)  With 81 lakh women or households (81.8 X 4 = 3.27 crore 
individuals) impacted, this is one of the world’s largest such 
programmes   

4)  Over  9,000  dedicated,  passionate  Bank  employees  are 

running the programme

Healthcare and Hygiene

Your  Bank’s  initiatives  in  the  area  of  Healthcare  and  Hygiene, 
focusing on both schools as well as the community, have made a 
substantial difference to the lives of students in rural India.

through  appropriate  wastewater  disposal. These  initiatives  are 
supplemented  by  construction  of  toilets  and  provision  of  clean 
drinking water. Over 16,521 households and 924 schools in rural 
India have been covered under the toilet programme so far.

Your Bank also organises health camps, nutrition programmes, 
and vaccination drives. The flagship programme under this pillar 
is the Annual Blood Donation Drive. 

In the 11th edition in 2017, your Bank collected 2.2 lakh units of 
blood in a single day. This was almost 30 per cent higher than 
the previous year.

Lakhs of people have learnt about the fundamentals of savings, 
investment and organised finance from financial literacy camps 
conducted by the Bank at its banking outlets as well as financial 
literacy centres across the country. 

This  is  a  multi-pronged  programme  where  literacy  is  imparted 
at branches, through business units as well as through its NGO 
partners. Over 19 lakh participants have benefitted in the year 
under review.

The flagship scheme under this pillar is Digidhan.

Modelled on the Bank’s financial literacy-on-wheels programme 
- Dhanchayat, Digidhan, criss-crosses the length and breadth of 
the country’s hinterland explaining the benefits of digital banking. 
The medium is through film and the location is often high-footfall 
pockets such as bazaars, mandis and bus-stands.

The  Bank  is  fully  compliant  with  the  requirements  of  the 
Companies  Act  2013,  having  spent  `  374  crore  on  CSR  and 
emerging as one of the highest spenders in this space in India.

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

Environmental Sustainability

Maintaining a balance between natural capital and communities 
is now integral to our functioning. 

Towards  this  end,  our  ATMs  have  gone  paperless,  enabling  a 
reduction of the carbon footprint. The Bank has given this effort 
a  further  fillip  by  ensuring  multi-channel  delivery  through  Net 

Banking,  Phone  Banking,  and  Mobile  Banking. This  results  in

reduced  customer  travel.  Another  source  for  reducing  the 
environmental footprint is solar ATMs, which use rechargeable 
lithium ion batteries that reduce power consumption.

BUSINESS ENABLERS

1)  People, Culture, Integrity and Ethics

‘People’ is one of your Bank’s Core Values. It is extremely 
proud of them, the integrity and ethics that they demonstrate 
and,  indeed,  the  culture  that  promotes  these  values.  
This  culture  ensures  that  the  people  with  the  right  values 
are  hired,  groomed  and  encouraged.  The  Bank  has  an 
institutionalised,  well-documented  code  of  conduct,  which 
every employee has to affirm annually.

The five pillars of our People strategy are as follows:

Recruitment:  Recruiting  the  right  talent  isn’t  enough 
anymore  in  an  industry  like  banking.  What  is  critical  is 
recruiting and deploying them fast. Your Bank has an agile 
hiring  mechanism  that  ensures  this.  This  often  entails 
leveraging online portals and new age channels like social 
media. Campus hiring and internship programs enable us to 
expand the hiring base further.

model  to  attain  scale  and  quality.  The  Bank  also  has  a 
battery  of  assessment  tools,  like  AMCAT,  Assesshub  and 
Talview to strengthen its selection process.

Career Management: Core to your Bank’s career philosophy 
is to create opportunities for employees to develop and grow. 
The  systematic  investment  of  time  in  career  discussion 
with  employees,  competency  assessment  and  intensive 
functional  and  behavioural  training,  through  Gurukul  our  
in-house programme, are also aimed at achieving that result.

to employees to help them stay motivated, productive and 
happy.

Employee  Engagement:  Employee  engagement  has  two 
planks,  namely  events  and  fun  learning.  The  events  are 
conducted at  both local  and  national  levels. While  most  of 
these  events  are  open  to  employees,  some  are  meant  for 
families as well.

These are some of the popular events:

1.  Josh  Unlimited:  Pan-India  sports  event  conducted  in 
29  cities,  covering  a  population  of  more  than  60,000 
employees

2.  Stepathlon:  An  Employee  wellness  initiative  which 
witnessed participation of more than 550 employees

3.  Hunar:  Pan-India in-house talent competition

Team  Building.    Each  of  these  work  on  the  tenet  that 
“If  you  manage  your  team  at  home,  you  can  manage 
your team at the office.” This is, of course, backed up by 
formal training.

Training  and  Development:  Training  plans 
for 
businesses  are  developed  based  on  needs  identified 
in consultation with the business leaders. An extensive 
bouquet  of 
training  programmes  are  delivered, 
covering  on-boarding,  product  and  process  training, 
advanced  programmes  and  behavioural 
training.  
The on-boarding training ensures that new employees 
trained  comprehensively  and  equipped  with 
are 
functional  and 
necessary  know-how,  as  well  as 
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  online.  
The role-specific learning plan ensures effective use of 
blended learning method. The accent has now shifted 
to  online  training  supplemented  by  offline  support.  In 
addition to this, to ensure that employees are assisted

Rewards  and  Recognition:  The  Rewards  and 
Recognition  programs  of  the  Bank  is  based  on  a 
sound  performance  management  system.  Your 
Bank  has  a  pay-for-performance  culture  based  on 
meritocracy.  There  is  equal  emphasis  on  recognition 
as  well.  Extraordinary  commitment  towards  work  is 
rewarded. So is at times going beyond the call of duty. 
ICON  Awards  was  launched  this  year  to  recognise 
employees for demonstrating individual, leadership and 
collaborative excellence in driving customer focus and 
operational excellence.

Innovation is the common thread that runs through the 
multiple businesses and functions in the Bank. Besides 
products,  it  manifests  itself  at  levels  of  concepts  and 
ideas.  A  testament  to  this  is  the  fact  that  more  than  
85 per cent of the transactions in the year under review 
occurred  over  the  Internet  and  Mobile.  The  Bank’s 
engagement  with  start-ups  and  fintechs  moved  to  the 
next  level  through  the  ‘Industry  Academia  Initiative’, 
which  helps  in  mentoring  them.  The  annual  Digital 
Innovation  Summit,  continues  to  generate  interest 
among  the  start-up  community  and  benefits  the  Bank 
through useful solutions. 

The  Bank’s  focus  on  leveraging  Artificial  Intelligence 
(AI)  and  Machine  Learning  (ML)  has  started  yielding 
results. Eva, the virtual assistant on the Bank’s website;

garnered over three lakh users, who used it for making 
bill  payments,  movie  /  travel  bookings  and  mobile 
recharges. 

To  encourage  digital  payments,  your  Bank  has 
launched all-in-one DigiPoS machines that enable UPI, 
Bharat QR, SMS, and PayZapp transactions on a single 
machine. 

Another  innovative  product  the  Bank  has  launched  is 
the  SmartHub,  an  umbrella  digital  platform  for  online 
payments  to  government  departments,  educational 
institutions and small merchants. 

Your Bank also introduced an Instant credit card, which 
is issued electronically within an hour and can be used 
by the customer to make purchases online. Over three 
lakh Instant credit cards were issued during the year. 

In  the  unsecured  loan  segment,  the  Bank’s  digital 
acquisition  solution,  10  seconds  loans,  continued  to 
delight  customers.  To  further  enhance  the  customer 
experience  and  improve  cost  management,  the  Bank 
is  now  developing  a  platform  for  end-to-end  digital 
acquisition of business.

Your Bank has the distinction of being the first bank in 
the  country  to  introduce  Digital  Loan  Against  Shares 
(LAS). In the automobile segment customers continued 
to  buy  cars  and  two-wheelers  through  online  services 
such as Zip Drive and Quick Money.  

To  sum  up,  the  year  under  review  has  seen  ample 
demonstration of ‘Go Digital, Bank Aapki Muththi Mein’ 
strategy.  Innovation  is  now  embedded  in  the  DNA  of 
your Bank with digital innovation emerging as the prime 
driver across businesses.

3)   Information Technology  

In  the  technology  space,  your  Bank  is  considered  a 
leader. Both in terms of being able to identify the right 
technology  solutions  for  the  business  and  deploying 
them in a timely manner to create customer experience. 
The  10-second  Personal  Loan  is  a  case  in  point. 
Missed  call  banking  is  another.  These  products  were 
not only industry firsts but have also gone on to become 
extremely popular with customers.

In  the  year  under  review,  your  Bank  has  gone  further 
with the implementation of an Open API based Service 
Oriented  Architecture  Middleware  platform.  This 
enables different systems to talk to each other and thus 
ensures  a  seamless  flow  of  information.  In  the  Bank’s 
context  it  facilitates  over  2.5  crore  digital  banking 
transactions from its mobility and online platforms such 
as PayZapp Wallet, SmartBuy market place, enhanced 
Mobile  Banking  App  and  a  dedicated  Retail  Lending 
App named LoanAssist.

Another  important  development  in  the  year  under 
review has been the Digital Application (DAP) Platform 
which brings together process, digital technologies and 
lifecycle  management  efficiencies  to  deliver  a  better 
customer  experience.  This  has  seen  a  huge  shift  to 
digital  channels  be  it  applying  for  loans,  credit  cards 
or  overdraft  facilities.  Over  95  per  cent  of  the  branch 
retail origination is now powered by DAP. Linkages for 
this  have  been  established  with  search  engines  and 
fintechs. 

This  has  been  further  supplemented  with  an  assisted 
Savings Bank account opening App in the branch which 
relationship  managers  use  to  open  digital  savings 
accounts.  The  volumes  have  been  doubling  every 
month since the launch in the third quarter of the year 
under review.

The  other  important  innovations  in  the  year  under 
review have been:

1)  A four click process for ‘Do Your Own Loan Against 

Shares’ 

2)  Creating  a  real  time  overdraft  with  Digital  Loan

8) 

Implementing  a  state-of-the-art  Core  Banking 
System  for  both  Retail  and Wholesale  Banking  to 
process 4.5 crore transactions daily in an accurate, 
speedy and secure manner.

4)   Cyber Security

Your  Bank  has  an  effective  framework  in  place  to 
manage  cyber  security.  This  encompasses  requisite 
manpower, machine and training. The Chief Information 
Security  Officer  (CISO)  is  the  person  who  is  overall 
responsible  for  this. There  is  also  a  committee  of  the 
Board  which  dedicatedly  looks  into  cyber  security 
issues and preparedness. 

In  the  year  under  review,  the  Bank  has  enhanced  its 
cyber  security  protocol  by  constituting  a  RED  Team. 
The RED team is a designated group of individuals that 
test the security posture of the organisation. The Bank 
also widened coverage of Security Incident and Event 
Management (SIEM), which provides a comprehensive 
and  centralised  view  of  the  security  scenario  of  IT 
infrastructure.  Deception  Technology  Solution  was 
deployed 
to  detect,  analyse  and  defend  against 
advanced attacks often in real-time. In the case of your 
Bank, it also covers emails and endpoints, besides the 
network.

‘packets’  which  are  nothing  but  parcels  of  digital 
information  transmitted  across  the  web  in  a  formatted 
piece  of  structured  data.  Protection  against  malware, 
ransomware  and  denial  of  service  attacks  have  been 
strengthened further.

Regular  tests  to  assess  the  vulnerability  of  the  IT 
infrastructure  and  applications  and  remedy  where 
necessary  are  routine.  As  are  anti-phishing  services 
that help in shutting down phishing sites and protecting 
the customers from fraud. Risk engine and transaction 
monitoring systems monitor suspicious transactions on 
Internet Banking, ATM and e-commerce channels.

The Bank has PCI DSS 3.0 and ISO 27001 certifications. 
PCI DSS is a proprietary information security standard 
for  organisations  that  handle  credit  card  information 
and  transactions.  It  is  meant  to  increase  controls 
around  cardholder  data  to  reduce  fraud.  In  layman’s 
terms the certification is an assurance that your Bank’s

On  building  awareness  your  bank  has  a  regular 
programme for both employees and customers. 

5)   Service Quality Initiatives and Grievance Redressal

Your Bank has various lines of businesses. In a highly 
competitive environment, ensuring product quality, and 
service delivery is vital for business growth. The Bank 
seeks  to  achieve  this  by  regularly  reviewing  service 
levels and capturing feedback from customers.

  Moreover,  in  line  with  regulatory  norms,  the  Bank 
has  constituted  three  committees  at  different  levels  to 
monitor  customer  service  -  Branch  Level  Customer 
Service Committees, Standing Committee on Customer 
Service and Customer Service Committee of the Board.

Against  the  backdrop  of  increasing  digital  frauds,  RBI 
issued a circular during the year on ‘Customer Protection 
-  Limiting  Liability  of  Customers  in  Unauthorised 
Electronic  Banking  Transactions.’  In  it,  RBI  defined 
customer liability clearly so that customers feel secure 
while  conducting  digital  transactions.  The  regulator 
also  mandated  banks  to  formulate  a  Board  Approved 
Customer Protection Policy. Accordingly, your Bank has 
fortified its existing processes. It is also augmenting its 
training and skill development mechanism to empower 
employees to boost service quality.

As  a  part  of  its  efforts  to  enhance  service  quality,  the 
Bank  undertakes  mystery  shopping  across  branches 
and  retail  asset  centres  to  continuously  evaluate 
regulatory compliance, process adherence and quality 
of  service  delivery.  The  effectiveness  is  reviewed 
periodically  at  different  levels  including  the  Customer 
Service Committee of the Board. Lean and Six Sigma 
methodologies are used to improve processes.

the  aforementioned  measures, 

In  addition 
in 
compliance  with  regulatory  guidelines,  your  Bank 
has  appointed  a  senior  retired  banker  as  Internal 
Ombudsman. Our sustained efforts to improve service 
delivery  have  been  noted  and  the  Bank  has  received 
written  appreciation  from  many  Banking  Ombudsmen

CHECKS, BALANCES AND REPORTING

I.  Risk Management and Portfolio Quality

The Bank is exposed to risk by the very nature of its business. 
The  key  risks  are  Credit  Risk,  Market  Risk,  Liquidity  Risk 
and Operational Risk. These risks not only have a bearing 
on  the  Bank’s  financial  strength  and  operations  but  also 
its  reputation.  Keeping  this  in  mind,  your  Bank  has  put  in 
place  a  Board  approved  risk  strategy  and  policy  whose 

implementation is supervised by the Board’s Risk Policy and 
Monitoring Committee (RPMC). The committee periodically 
reviews  risk  levels  and  direction,  portfolio  composition, 
status of impaired credits and limits for treasury operations.

The  hallmark  of  the  Bank’s  risk  management  process 
function  is  its  independence,  with  credit  decisions  being 
made by a credit underwriting vertical. 

The gamut of risks faced by the Bank which are dimensioned 
and managed include

Credit Risk

This is the risk of loss arising from a default and is, therefore, 
also  known  as  default  risk.  Your  Bank  has  distinct  policies 
and  processes  for  managing  credit  risk  in  both  its  retail  and 
wholesale  businesses.  Wholesale  lending  is  managed  on  an 
individual as well as portfolio basis. By contrast, retail lending, 
given the granularity of individual exposures, is managed largely 
on  a  portfolio  basis  across  various  products  and  customer 
(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:71)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:14)(cid:0) (cid:38)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0) (cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:0) (cid:67)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:71)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:66)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:0) (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:13)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0) (cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)
back-end systems in place to ensure credit quality and minimise 
loss from default.  

The  factors  considered  while  sanctioning  retail  loans  include 
income,  demographics,  previous  credit  history  of  the  borrower 
and  the  tenor  of  the  loan.  In  wholesale  loans,  credit  risk  is 
managed by capping exposures on the basis of borrower group 
/ industry / credit rating grades and country. This is backed by 
portfolio diversification, stringent credit approval processes and 
periodic post-disbursement monitoring / remedial measures. 

Your Bank has been able to ensure strong asset quality even in 
an  otherwise  challenging  business  environment  by  stringently 
adhering  to  the  aforementioned  norms  and  institutionalising 
processes.

Directors' Report

ratio  of  Gross  
As  on  March  31,  2018,  your  Bank’s 
Non-Performing  Assets  (GNPAs)  to  gross  advances  was  1.30 
per  cent.  Net  Non-Performing  Assets  (Gross  Non-Performing 
Assets Less Specific Loan Loss provisions) was 0.4 per cent of 
Net Advances. Total restructured assets (including applications 
under  process  for  restructuring)  was  0.24  per  cent  of  gross 
advances.

The  Bank  has  a  conservative  and  prudent  policy  for  specific 
provisions  on  NPAs.  It  provides  more  towards  NPAs  than  the 
minimum  regulatory  requirements  even  while  adhering  to 
regulatory norms for the provision of Standard Assets.

Digital Lending and Credit Risk

Driven by rapid advances in technology, digitisation is increasingly 
becoming a key differentiator of customer retention and service 
delivery in the banking sector. Digital lending enables customers 
to secure loans at the click of a button in a matter of minutes, if 
not seconds. However, there are also attendant risks associated 
with it and your Bank has put in place appropriate checks and 
balances  to  manage  these  risks.  Such  loans  are  sanctioned 
primarily  to  the  Bank’s  pre-existing  customers.  Often,  these 
clients  are  customers  across  multiple  products  so  their  credit 
history and risk profile is already known. This makes it possible to 
evaluate and decide on their fresh requirements almost instantly. 
Besides, most of the credit checks and scores used by the Bank 
in traditional process underwriting are replicated in digital loans. 
(cid:38)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:12)(cid:0) (cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:34)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:75)(cid:0) (cid:72)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:0) (cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0) (cid:77)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:0) (cid:86)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0) (cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:0)
that minutely assesses the models used to generate the credit 
scores  for  such  loans. These  models  are  monitored,  reviewed 
periodically  and  back-tested;  and  corrective  action  is  taken 
whenever needed.

Market Risk

Market  risk  arises  largely  from  the  Bank’s  statutory  reserve 
management  and  trading  activity  and  is  managed  through  a 
well-defined  Board-approved  Investment  Policy  and  Market 
Risk  Policy  that  caps  risk  in  different  trading  desks  or  various 
securities  through  trading  risk  limits  /  triggers.  These  include 
position  limits,  gap  limits,  tenor  restrictions,  sensitivity  limits, 
namely,  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 
supplemented  by  a  Board  approved  stress  testing  policy  and 
framework  that  simulates  various  market  risk  scenarios  to 
measure losses and initiate remedial measures.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity  Risk  is  the  risk  that  a  bank  may  not  be  able  to  meet 
its  short  term  financial  obligations  due  to  an  asset–liability 
mismatch or interest rate fluctuations. 

Your  Bank’s  framework  for  liquidity  and  interest  rate  risk 
management is spelt out in its Asset Liquidity-Management policy 
that is implemented, monitored and periodically reviewed by the 
Asset Liability Committee (ALCO). As a part of this process, the 

Bank has established various Board approved limits to mitigate 
both liquidity and interest risks. While the maturity gap and stock 
ratio  limits  help  manage  liquidity  risk,  the  income  and  market 
value impacts help mitigate interest rate risk. This is reinforced 
by a comprehensive Board approved stress testing programme 
covering both liquidity and interest rate risk.

The  Liquidity  Coverage  Ratio  (LCR)  is  a  global  minimum 
standard used to measure a bank’s liquidity position. LCR seeks 
to ensure that the 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  under 
a  30-day  calendar  liquidity  stress  scenario.  Based  on  Basel 
III  norms,  RBI  has  mandated  a  minimum  LCR  of  80  per  cent 
on  January  1,  2017;  that  limit  progressively  increases  by  10 
percentage points each year to 100 per cent on January 1, 2019. 
Your Bank’s LCR stood at 104.5 per cent on a consolidated basis 
for the year ended March 31, 2018.

Operational Risk

This  is  the  risk  of  loss  resulting  from  inadequate  or  failed 
internal processes, people and systems or from external events.

Control.

1)   Framework and Process

To  manage  operational  risks,  the  Bank  has  in  place 
a  comprehensive  and  operational 
risk  management 
framework,  whose  implementation  is  supervised  by  the 
Operational  Risk  Management  Committee  (ORMC)  and 
reviewed  by  the  RPMC  of  the  Board.  An  independent 
Operational  Risk  Management  Department 
(ORMD) 
implements the framework.

Under the framework, the Bank has three lines of defence. 
The first layer of protection is provided by the Business line 
(including  support  and  operations)  management.  These 
managers are primarily  responsible  for not only managing 
operational  risk  on  a  daily  basis,  but  also  for  maintaining 
strict internal controls, designing and implementing internal 
control-related policies and procedures. 

The  second  line  of  defence  is  the  ORMD,  which  develops 
and implements policies, procedures, tools and techniques 
to  assess  and  monitor  the  adequacy  and  effectiveness  of 
the Bank’s internal controls.

Internal Audit is the last line of defence. The team reviews 
the  effectiveness  of  governance,  risk  management,  and 
internal controls within the Bank.

2)   Internal Control

Your Bank has implemented sound internal control practices 
across  all  processes,  units  and  functions.  The  Bank  has 

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2017-18

34

 
 
 
 
 
Directors' Report

well  laid  down  policies  and  processes  for  management 
of  its  day-to-day  activities.  The  Bank  follows  established, 
well-designed  controls,  which  include  traditional  four  eye 
principles,  effective  separation  of  functions,  segregation 
of  duties,  call  back  processes,  reconciliation,  exception 
reporting  and  periodic  MIS.  Specialised  risk  control  units 
function  in  risk  prone  products  /  functions  to  minimise 
operational  risk.  Controls  are  tested  as  part  of  the  SOX 
control testing framework.

3)   Information Technology and Security Practices

The Bank operates in a highly automated environment and 
makes  use  of  the  latest  technologies  to  support  various 
operations.  This  throws  up  operational  risks  such  as 
business disruption, risks related to information assets, data 
security, integrity, reliability and availability amongst others. 
The Bank has put in a governance framework, information 
security  practices  and  business  continuity  plan  to  mitigate 
independent 
technology  related  risks.  An 
information 
assurance team within Internal Audit provides assurance on 
the management of information technology related risks.

The  Bank  has  a  robust  Business  Continuity  and  Disaster 
Recovery  plan  that  is  periodically  tested  to  ensure  that 
it  can  meet  any  operational  contingencies.  There  is  an 
independent  Information  Security  Group  that  addresses 
information  security  related  risks.  A  well-documented 
Board approved information security policy is put in place. 
In  addition,  employees  mandatorily  periodically  undergo 
information security training and sensitisation exercises.

4)   Fraud Monitoring and Control

The Bank has put in a whistle blower policy, and a central 
vigilance team oversees implementation of fraud prevention 
(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:14)(cid:0)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:78)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:71)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:65)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:0)
and relevant corrective steps are taken to prevent recurrence. 
(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:0) (cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0) (cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:77)(cid:77)(cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:0) (cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:0) (cid:77)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:65)(cid:71)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0)
and board level also deliberate on material fraud events and 
initiate preventive action. Periodic reports are submitted to 
the Board and senior management committees.

Compliance Risk

Compliance  Risk  is  defined  as  the  risk  of  impairment  of  your 
Bank’s  integrity,  leading  to  damage  to  its  reputation,  legal  or 
regulatory  sanctions,  or  financial  loss,  as  a  result  of  a  failure 
(or perceived failure) to comply with applicable laws, regulations 
and  standards.  The  Bank  has  a  Compliance  Policy  to  ensure 
(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:0) (cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0) (cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:77)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:14)(cid:0) (cid:33)(cid:0) (cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:73)(cid:67)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0) (cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:65)(cid:77)(cid:0) (cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0) (cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:66)(cid:74)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:0)
matter  experts  in  the  Compliance  department  work  with 
Business  and  Operations  Teams  to  ensure  active  compliance 
risk  management  and  monitoring.  They  also  provide  advisory 
services on regulatory matters. The focus is on identifying and 
reducing risk by rigorously testing products and also putting in 
place robust internal policies. Products that adhere to regulatory 
norms are tested after rollout, and shortcomings, if any, are fully 

addressed till the product stabilises on its own. Internal policies 
are  reviewed  regularly  and  updated  as  and  when  regulators 
issue fresh instructions. The Compliance team also seeks regular 
feedback on regulatory compliance from Product, Business and 
Operation teams through self-certifications and monitoring.

ICAAP

The Bank has a structured management framework in the Internal 
Capital  Adequacy  Assessment  Process  (ICAAP)  to  identify, 
assess and manage all risks that may have a material adverse 
impact  on  its  business  /  financial  position  /  capital  adequacy.  
The ICAAP framework is guided by the Bank’s Board approved 
ICAAP  Policy.  Additionally,  the  Board  approved  Stress Testing 
(cid:48)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:67)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:75)(cid:0)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:65)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:86)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:79)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:72)(cid:78)(cid:73)(cid:81)(cid:85)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:79)(cid:0)
assess potential vulnerability to extreme but plausible stressed 
business  conditions.  Changes  in  the  Bank’s  risk  levels  and  in

Implementation  of 
(IND-AS)

Indian  Accounting  Standards  

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, in its press release dated 
January 18, 2016, had 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  required 
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 
(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0) (cid:41)(cid:78)(cid:68)(cid:73)(cid:65)(cid:0) (cid:8)(cid:50)(cid:34)(cid:41)(cid:9)(cid:12)(cid:0) (cid:86)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:0) (cid:73)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0) (cid:67)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:67)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:0) (cid:68)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0) (cid:38)(cid:69)(cid:66)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:65)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:0) (cid:17)(cid:17)(cid:12)(cid:0) (cid:18)(cid:16)(cid:17)(cid:22)(cid:0)
required  all  scheduled  commercial  banks  to  comply  with 
the  Indian  Accounting  Standards  (IND-AS)  for  financial 
statements  for  the  periods  stated  above. The  RBI  did  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 
formed  a  steering  committee  comprising 
members  from  cross-functional  areas  for  the  purpose  of 
implementation oversight. Under the guidance of the steering

Directors' Report

committee,  the  Bank  formed  working  groups,  including 
external consultants, dedicated to specific functional areas. 
The objective of these working groups was 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. 

IND-AS, 

including 

the  disclosure 

The  Bank  has  undertaken  a  diagnostic  analysis  of  the 
differences  between  the  current  accounting  framework 
and 
requirements.  
Your  Bank  has  reviewed  the  accounting  policy  options 
provided  under  IND-AS  including  the  preparation  of  draft 
accounting  policies  under  IND-AS  subject  to  any  RBI 
guidelines in this regard. 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 has also 
undertaken 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:

1)  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.

2) 

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.

3)  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.

4)  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  recognize  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.

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

The  implementation  of  IND-AS  by  banks  requires  certain 
legislative changes in the format of financial statements to 
comply  with  disclosures  required  by  IND-AS. The  change 
in  format  requires  an  amendment  to  the  third  schedule  of 
the  Banking  Regulation  Act,  1949  to  make  it  compatible 
with 
the  presentation  of  financial  statements  under  
IND-AS.  The  RBI  would  issue  necessary  instructions  /
guidelines and clarifications to facilitate the implementation 
the 
the  new  accounting  standards.  Considering 
of 
amendments needed to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, 
as well as the level of preparedness of several banks, the 
RBI  vide  its  Statement  on  Developmental  and  Regulatory

Directors' Report

Policies  dated  April  5,  2018  deferred  the  implementation 
of  IND-AS  by  one  year  by  when  the  necessary  legislative 
amendments  are  expected.  Scheduled  commercial  banks 
in  India  will  now  be  required  to  prepare  IND-AS  based 
financial  statements  for  the  accounting  periods  beginning 
from April 1, 2019 onwards with comparatives for the periods 
beginning April 1, 2018.

III.  Internal Controls, Audit and Compliance

The  Bank  has  put  in  place  extensive  internal  controls 
and  processes  to  mitigate  operational  risks,  including 
centralised operations and ‘segregation of duty’ between the 
front office, mid-office and back office. The front-office units 
usually act as customer touch-points and sales and service 
outlets. The entire processing, accounting and settlement of 
transactions is carried out by the back-office in the bank’s 
Core banking system. The policy framework, definition and 
monitoring of limits is carried out by various mid-office and 
risk management functions. The credit sanctioning and debt 
management units are also segregated and do not have any 
sales and operations responsibilities.

The  Bank  has  set  up  various  executive-level  committees, 
having  participation  from  various  business  and  control 
functions, that are designed to review and oversee matters 
pertaining to capital, assets and liabilities, business practices 
and customer service, operational risk, information security, 
internal  risk-based 
business  continuity  planning  and 
supervision  amongst  others.  The  control  functions  set 
standards and lay down policies and procedures by which 
the business functions manage risks including compliance 
with applicable laws, compliance with regulatory guidelines, 
adherence to operational controls and relevant standards of 
conduct.    

implemented 

At the ground-level, the Bank has a mix of preventive and 
through  systems  and 
detective  controls 
processes  ensuring  a  robust  framework  in  the  Bank  to 
enable  correct  and  complete  accounting,  identification  of 
outliers  (if  any)  by  the  Management  on  a  timely  basis  for 
corrective action and mitigate operational risks.

The Bank has various Preventive controls viz, (a) Limited and 
need-based access to systems by users, (b) Dual custody 
over  cash  and  near-cash  items  (c)  Segregation  of  duty  in 
processing  of  transactions  vis-a-vis  creation  of  user  IDs  
(d)  Segregation  of  duty  in  processing  of  transactions  
vis-a-vis monitoring and review of transactions / reconciliation

The  Bank  also  has  detective  controls  in  place  viz,  
(a) Periodic review of user IDs (b) Post transaction monitoring 
at the back-end by way of call back process (through daily 
log  reports)  by  an  independent  person  i.e.to  ascertain 
that  entries  in  the  core-banking  system  /  messages  in 
payment interface systems are based on valid / authorised 
transactions and customer requests. (c) Daily tally of cash 
and  near-cash  items  at  End  of  day.  (d)  Reconciliation  of 
Nostro accounts (by an independent team) to ascertain and 
match-off the Nostro credits and debits (External or Internal) 
regularly  to  avoid  /  identify  any  unreconciled  /  unmatched 
entries passing through the system (e) Reconciliation of all 
Suspense  accounts  and  establishment  of  responsibility  in 
case  of  outstandings  (f)  Independent  and  surprise  checks 
periodically by Supervisors.

Your  Bank  has  an  Internal  Audit  department  which  is 
responsible  for  independently  evaluating  the  adequacy 
and effectiveness of all internal controls, risk management, 
governance  systems  and  processes  and  is  manned  by 
appropriately qualified personnel. 

This  department  adopts  a  risk  based  audit  approach  and 
carries out audits across various businesses that is Retail, 
Wholesale  and  Treasury  (for  India  and  Overseas  books), 
audit of Operations units, Management Audits, Information 
Security Audit, Revenue Audit and Concurrent Audit in order 
to independently evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness 
of  internal  controls  on  an  ongoing  basis  and  pro-actively 
recommending  enhancements  thereof.  The  Internal  Audit 
department  during  the  course  of  audit  also  ascertains 
the  extent  of  adherence  to  regulatory  guidelines,  legal 
requirements  and  operational  processes  and  provides 
timely  feedback  to  the  Management  for  corrective  action.  
A  strong  oversight  on  the  operations  is  also  kept  through 
off-site monitoring.

The  Internal  Audit  department  also  independently  reviews 
the  Bank’s  implementation  of  Internal  Rating  Based  (IRB) 
approach  for  calculation  of  capital  charge  for  Credit  Risk, 
the  appropriateness  of  Bank’s  Internal  Capital  Adequacy 
Assessment  Process  (ICAAP),  as  well  as  evaluates  the 
quality  and  comprehensiveness  of  the  Bank’s  disaster 
recovery and business continuity plans and  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.

Any new product / process introduced in the Bank is reviewed 
by  Compliance  function  in  order  to  ensure  adherence  to 
regulatory  guidelines  and  also  by  Internal  Audit  from  the 
perspective of existence of internal controls. The Audit function

EHS. This  is  also  followed  up  by  onsite  visits  of  bank 
executives.

The  Bank  deals  with  the  client  primarily  through  its 
Relationship  Manager  (RM).  The  RM  has  to  report 
compliance with EHS norms in the Credit Assessment 
Memorandum (CAM) both at the time of initial sanction 
and  during  the  monitoring  process.  Such  certification 
is  based  on  information  /  disclosures  provided  by  the 
borrower  at  the  time  of  initial  appraisal  and  during 
periodic review of the facilities. 

The  RM  records  outstanding  EHS  issues  if  any  and 
follows  them  up  with  the  client  for  prompt  resolution. 
The  Bank  levies  penal  interest  in  case  of  deviations 
and,  thus,  ensures  compliance  with  the  agreed  EHS 
norms.  If  there  are  significant  deviations  that  could

IR  aims  at  providing  investors  a  compact  communication 
about how strategy, governance, performance and prospect 
create value over time. IR today is a growing trend globally 
providing  investors  and  interested  stakeholders  relevant 
information  that  an  investor  will  find  useful  in  making  his 
investment decision.

As  a  leading  responsible  Indian  corporation,  it  was  only 
appropriate  that  we  took  the  lead  in  this  regard.  Towards 
this  end,  the  Bank  has  identified  its  value  created  for  its 
stakeholders.  Aspects  identified  as  relevant  for  the  Bank, 
under the capital heads are discussed below.

Financial  Capital: This  capital  refers  to  the  pool  of  funds

investor inflows and improved corporate performance) and 
focus  on  quality  acquisition  and  activation  boosted  HSL’s 
performance. 

The company has a customer base of 19.35 lakh to whom 
it  offers  a  large  bouquet  of  financial  services.  In  the  year 
under review, HSL had 6.87 lakh transacting customers, the 
second  highest  number  of  active  (transacting)  customers 
among all broking houses.

In line with the thrust on digital channels within the bank, the 
percentage of customers accessing HSL’s services digitally 
increased  to  70  per  cent  from  63  per  cent  in  the  previous 
year. In particular the percentage accessing it through the

performance  and  financial  position  of  the  Bank’s  subsidiaries 
and associates are enclosed as ANNEXURE 5 to this report. 

During  the  year,  International  Asset  Reconstruction  Company 
Private Limited (“IARC”) ceased to be an associate of the Bank

the  Chairperson),  designed  in  accordance  with  the  said 
framework and covering various aspects of the performance of 
the Board and its Committees, including composition and quality,

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  RBI  guidelines.  
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  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  same  is  available  
at  the  weblink  https://www.hdfcbank.com/aboutus/cg/codes-
and-policies.htm.  The  compensation  policy  of  the  Bank,  duly 
reviewed and recommended by the NRC has been articulated in 
line with the relevant 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

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  such  as  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.  24.  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.

Acknowledgement

Your  Directors  would  like  to  place  on  record  their  gratitude  for 
all  the  guidance  and  co-operation  received  from  the  Reserve 
Bank  of  India  and  other  government  and  regulatory  agencies.

Conclusion 

It has been a challenging year for the global as well as Indian 
economy. The global economy is facing risks from the increasing 
tide  of  protectionism,  uncertainty  regarding  Brexit  and  the 
forthcoming elections in Italy. The US-North Korea relationship, 
notwithstanding recent signs of a rapprochement, will continue 
to cast a shadow on the geopolitical situation till it settles down 
one way or the other. 

On the positive side, India continues to remain among the two 
fastest growing economies in the world. The transitory impact of 
the GST too appears to be over. Private capital expenditure is 
expected to pick up in the first half of the current financial year. 

Your  Bank  has  continued  to  grow  faster  than  the  system.  
It now plans to raise capital of ` 24,000 crore to fund growth for 
the next few years.

rural India.

Product Leadership, People and Sustainability. Its commitment to 
the highest possible standards of corporate governance remains 
unwavering even as it embarks on the next stage of its evolution, 
increasingly  leveraging  artificial  intelligence  and  analytics,  to 
continue delivering sustainable growth to all stakeholders.

Directors' Report

Where the company has calculated the employee compensation 
cost using the intrinsic value of the stock options, the difference 
between the employee compensation cost so computed and the 
employee compensation cost that shall have been recognized if it 
had used the fair value of the options, shall be disclosed. 

The impact of this difference on profits and on EPS of the company 
shall also be disclosed

Had the Bank followed fair value method for accounting, the 
stock option compensation expense would have been higher 
by  `  650.4  crore.  Consequently  profit  after  tax  would  have 
been lower by ` 650.4 crore and the basic EPS of the Bank 
would have been ` 65.2 per share (lower by ` 2.5 per share) 
and the diluted EPS would have been ` 64.4 per share (lower 
by ` 2.4 per share)

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

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

The weighted average price of the stock options exercised is  
` 837.6 and the weighted average fair value is ` 299.5

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

I.   Risk-free interest rate

6.73 percent to 7.20 percent

II.   Expected life

III.  Expected volatility

IV.  Expected dividends

1 to 7.25 years

19.94 per cent to 21.65 percent

0.65 percent to 0.66 percent

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

option grant

The market price per share was ` 1433.20 and ` 1462.15 at 
the  time  of  grant  of  options  under  ESOS  XXVII  and  ESOS 
XXVIII respectively.

vi.  The weighted average market price of Bank’s shares on NSE 

at the time of option grant

` 1433.35 and ` 1461.72 at the time of grant of options under 
ESOS XXVII and ESOS XXVIII respectively.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* During the year, International Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (“IARC”) ceased to be an associate company of the Bank 
since the percentage of paid-up equity capital held by the Bank in IARC has been diluted to less than 20% due to further issue 
of equity shares made by IARC during the financial year in which the Bank did not participate. As of March 31, 2018, the Bank 
held 19.22% of the share capital of IARC.

# Promoters are Indian Companies incorporated under the Indian Companies Act 1956 and are managed 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 percentage of share capital held by the promoters has been calculated after including the equity shares underlying the depository receipts 
of the Bank in the total number of equity shares. Pursuant to the Circular No. CIR/CFD/CMD/13/2015 dated November 30, 2015 issued by 
the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), the percentage of promoter shareholding after excluding the equity shares underlying 
depository receipts from the total number of shares would be 25.60% of Bank’s share capital.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of HDFC Bank Limited

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  standalone  financial 
statements  of  HDFC  BANK  LIMITED  (“the  Bank”),  which 
comprise  the  Balance  Sheet  as  at  31st  March,  2018,  the 
Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  and  the  Cash  Flow  Statement 
for  the  year  then  ended,  and  a  summary  of  the  significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial 
Statements 

The  Bank’s  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  the  matters 
stated in Section  134(5) of the Companies  Act,  2013  (“the  
Act”)  with  respect  to  the  preparation  of  these  standalone  
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial 
position, financial performance and cash flows of the Bank in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 29 of the Banking 
Regulation Act, 1949, Accounting Standards  prescribed under 
section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Accounting 
Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended, in so far as applicable to 
banks  (“Accounting  Standards”),  other  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in India and the Guidelines issued by the 
Reserve Bank of India.

frauds  and  other 

This  responsibility  also  includes  maintenance  of  adequate 
accounting  records  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the 
Act for safeguarding the assets of the Bank and for preventing 
irregularities;  selection 
and  detecting 
and  application  of  appropriate  accounting  policies;  making 
judgments  and  estimates  that  are  reasonable  and  prudent; 
and  design,  implementation  and  maintenance  of  adequate 
internal  financial  controls,  that  were  operating  effectively  for 
ensuring  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  the  accounting 
records,  relevant  to  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
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  Standards  and  other  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Bank 
as at 31st March, 2018, and its profit and its cash flows for the 
year ended on that date. 

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, based on our audit,

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

have come to our notice have been within the powers

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

 On the basis of the written representations received

2018  taken  on  record  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  
none  of  the  Directors  is  disqualified  as  at  31st

2.  We report that during the course of our audit we performed 
select  relevant  procedures  at  111  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 our report 
of even date)

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

for 

Internal  Financial 

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial 
reporting  of  HDFC  BANK  LIMITED  (“the  Bank”)  as  at  31st 
March,  2018  in  conjunction  with  our  audit  of  the  standalone 
financial  statements  of  the  Bank  for  the  year  ended  on  that 
date.
Management’s  Responsibility 
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.
An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
internal  financial 
evidence  about 
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, 

the  adequacy  of 

the 

the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and 

whether due to fraud or error.
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 
the 
regarding 
preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and 
other  applicable  regulations.  A  company’s  internal  financial 
control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and 
procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records 
that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded 
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and 
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only  in  accordance  with  authorisations  of  management  and 
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorised 
acquisition,  use,  or  disposition  of  the  company’s  assets  that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent  Limitations  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over 
Financial Reporting
Because  of  the  inherent  limitations  of  internal  financial 
controls  over  financial  reporting,  including  the  possibility 
of  collusion  or  improper  management  override  of  controls, 
material  misstatements  due  to  error  or  fraud  may  occur  and 
not  be  detected.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  the 
internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  to  future 
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control 
over  financial  reporting  may  become  inadequate  because  of 
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with 
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In  our  opinion,  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according 
to  the  explanations  given  to  us,  the  Bank  has,  in  all  material 
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over 
financial  reporting  and  such  internal  financial  controls  over 
financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 
2018,  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.

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

ended March 31, 2018

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, Dubai and Offshore Banking Unit at International Financial Service Centre (IFSC), at GIFT 
City, Gandhinagar in Gujarat. 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.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management to make estimates and necessary 
assumptions 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.

Schedules to the Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss  to “Capital  Reserve”  
in accordance with the RBI Guidelines.

Short sale:

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

Valuation:

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

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

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

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

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

Investment in unquoted Venture Capital Fund (VCF) are categorised under HTM category for the initial period of three years 
and valued at cost. Such investment are required to be transferred to AFS thereafter. 

         Pass Through Certificates (PTC) including Priority Sector-PTCs are valued by using FIMMDA credit spread as applicable for 
the NBFC category, based on the credit rating of the respective PTC over the YTM rates for government securities published 
by FIMMDA. 

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.

Schedules to the Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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.

2 

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.

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 addition to 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.

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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.

3 

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  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 the Statement of Profit and Loss. These are amortised over the period of the Certificate.

Schedules to the Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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.

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 
(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:83)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:86)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:82)(cid:65)(cid:67)(cid:84)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:65)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:68)(cid:65)(cid:89)(cid:14)(cid:0)(cid:55)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:68)(cid:65)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:0)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:84)(cid:84)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:78)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:67)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:67)(cid:79)(cid:77)(cid:80)(cid:85)(cid:84)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:66)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:73)(cid:83)(cid:0)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:84)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:0)(cid:76)(cid:65)(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:0)(cid:72)(cid:65)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:0)(cid:65)(cid:78)(cid:0)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:0)
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

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. Also in case of domestic advances, where interest is collected on rear end basis, such interest is accounted on receipt 
basis in accordance with the RBI guidelines. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Employee Benefits

Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS’):

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

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

Gratuity:

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

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

Superannuation:

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

Provident fund:

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

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

The  overseas  branches  of  the  Bank  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.

10 

Debit and credit cards reward points

The Bank estimates the probable redemption of debit and credit card reward points and cost per point using an actuarial 
method  by  employing  an  independent  actuary,  which  includes  assumptions  such  as  mortality,  redemption  and  spends. 
Provisions for liabilities on 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. The imports are typically on a back-to-back 
basis and are priced to the customer based on the price quoted by the supplier. The difference between the price recovered 
from customers and cost of bullion 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.

Lease accounting

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

13 

Income tax

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

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

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

14 

Earnings per share

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

15 

Share issue expenses

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

Segment information 

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

Accounting for provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

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

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

A disclosure of contingent liability is made when there is:

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.

Cash and cash equivalents

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

Corporate social responsibility

Expenditure towards corporate social responsibility, in accordance with Companies Act, 2013, are recognised in the Statement 
of Profit and Loss.

SCHEDULE 18 - Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018

Amounts in notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 are denominated in rupee crore to 
conform to extant RBI guidelines, except where stated otherwise.

Proposed dividend

The Board of Directors, at their meeting held on April 21, 2018 have proposed a dividend of ` 13.00 per equity share (previous 
year:  `  11.00)  aggregating  `  4,067.07  crore  (previous  year:  `  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 the 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 the proposed 
dividend from the Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the effect of the proposed dividend has been reckoned in determining 
capital funds in the computation of the capital adequacy ratios.

2 

Capital adequacy

The Bank’s capital to risk-weighted asset ratio (‘Capital Adequacy Ratio’) as at March 31, 2018 is calculated in accordance with 
the RBI guidelines on Basel III capital regulations (‘Basel III’). The phasing-in of the minimum capital ratio requirement under 
Basel III is as follows:

Minimum ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets

Common equity tier 1 (CET1)

Tier I capital 

Total capital 

(% of RWAs)

The above minimum CET1, tier I and total capital ratio requirements include the capital conservation buffer. During the year, 
the RBI identified the Bank as a Domestic-Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB) under the bucketing structure as provided 
in  the  D-SIB  framework.  As  an  identified  D-SIB,  the  Bank  will  be  required  to  maintain  additional  CET1  of  0.15%  effective  
April 1, 2018 and 0.20% effective April 1, 2019.

Basic  earnings  per  equity  share  of  the  Bank  has  been  computed  by  dividing  the  net  profit  for  the  year  attributable  to  the 
equity  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  equity  shares  outstanding  during  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

The shareholders of the Bank approved the 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 the grant. The 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  and  Remuneration 
Committee of the Board (‘NRC’) 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.

The vesting conditions applicable to the options are at the discretion of the NRC. These options are exercisable on vesting, 
for a period as set forth by the NRC at the time of grant. The period in which the options may be exercised cannot exceed five 
years. During the years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, no modifications were made to the terms and conditions 
of ESOPs as approved by the NRC.

Fair value methodology

The fair value of options used to compute the proforma net profit 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 prices of 
its equity shares. The Bank granted 1,68,82,050 options during the year ended March 31, 2018 (previous year: Nil). The various 
assumptions considered in the pricing model for the ESOPs granted during the year ended March 31, 2018 are:

Unhedged foreign currency exposure

The Bank has in place a policy and process for managing currency induced credit risk. The credit appraisal memorandum 
prepared at the time of origination and review of a credit facility 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  is encouraged  to 
enter into appropriate risk hedging mechanisms with the Bank. Alternatively, the Bank satisfies 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 Earnings Before Interest and Depreciation (‘EBID’) due to 
a potentially large adverse movement in exchange rate impacting the unhedged foreign currency exposure of the customer. 
Where a breach is observed in such a simulation, the customer is advised to reduce its unhedged exposure.

In accordance with RBI guidelines, as at March 31, 2018 the Bank holds standard asset provisions of ` 180.30 crore (previous 
year: ` 108.31 crore) and maintains capital (including capital conservation buffer) of ` 723.08 crore (previous year: ` 396.86 
crore) in respect of the unhedged foreign currency exposure of its customers.

Overview of business and processes

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  the  instruments 
recognised on the Balance Sheet but do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash flows involved or the current 
fair value of the instruments and, therefore, do not indicate the Bank’s exposure to credit or price risks. The following 
sections outline the nature and terms of the derivative transactions generally undertaken by the Bank. 

Interest rate contracts

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

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

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

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

Exchange rate contracts

Forward foreign exchange contracts are agreements to buy or sell fixed amounts of currency at agreed rates of exchange 
on future date. 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. 

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  hedging  instruments,  the  Bank  documents,  at  inception  of  the  hedge,  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.

As at March 31, 2018, the notional principal amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts classified as hedging 
and trading amounted to ` 14,070.60 crore (previous year: ` 6,302.40 crore) and ` 420,396.97 crore (previous year: 
` 463,627.74 crore) respectively.

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

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

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

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.

        14,028.24 

In respect of each of these accounts, the Bank was a member of the Joint Lenders’ Forum (JLF) formed under the then 

prevailing regulatory framework for revitalizing distressed assets in the economy. The Bank classified these accounts as 

NPAs during the year ended March 31, 2018 and made adequate provisions for the said accounts.

In relation to one of the above accounts, the Bank had participated in a project loan which underwent flexible structuring 

under  the  then  prevailing  regulatory  framework  as  approved  by  the  JLF  in  February  2016.  Pursuant  to  a  regulatory 

communication, in October 2017 the said customer account was classified by the Bank as non-performing with effect 

from March 2016. The JLF in its meeting on December 30, 2017 received confirmations from all lenders, including the 

Bank,  regarding  satisfactory  performance  of  the  account  during  the  specified  period  (post  February  2016)  including 

confirmation of nil overdues as on December 30, 2017. Hence, in terms of para 17.2.3 of the RBI Master Circular DBR.

No.BP.BC.2/21.04.048/2015-16 dated July 1, 2015, the JLF decided to upgrade the account classification to ‘standard’. 

The Bank accordingly upgraded the account classification to ‘standard’ in its books. The account continues to remain 

standard at March 31, 2018. 

The position as at March 31, 2018 in relation to the divergence is as follows:

Brief description
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 taxation laws. 
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.
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, 2018 (previous year: Nil), towards the present value of the 
guaranteed interest benefit obligation. The actuary has followed the deterministic approach as prescribed by the guidance note.

Information relating to the bodies that oversee remuneration

Name and composition 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Bank  has  constituted  the  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  (hereinafter,  the 
‘NRC’) for overseeing and governing the compensation policies of the Bank. The NRC is comprised of three independent 
directors as of March 31, 2018. Further, two members of the NRC are also members of the Risk Policy and Monitoring 
Committee (hereinafter, the ‘RPMC’) of the Board. 

The  NRC  is  comprised  of  Mrs.  Shyamala  Gopinath,  Mr.  Partho  Datta  and  Mr.  Bobby  Parikh.  Further,  Mrs.  Shyamala 
Gopinath and Mr. Partho Datta are also members of the RPMC. Mr. Bobby Parikh is the chairperson of the NRC. During 
the year ended March 31, 2018, Mr. A. N. Roy ceased to be a member of the NRC pursuant to his resignation from the 
Board of Directors of the Bank. 

Mandate of the NRC

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

External Consultants 

The Bank employed the services of the following consulting firms in the area of compensation and benefits and human 
resources: 

AON:  The  Bank  employed  the  services  of  AON  in  the  area  of  compensation  market  benchmarking  and  executive 
compensation. AON, apart from being a globally reputed consulting firm, has the longest running year on year banking 
study in India and was found to be the most appropriate by the NRC.

Cedar  Consulting: The  Bank  employed  the  services  of  Cedar  Consulting  to  review  and  recommend  key  scorecard 
measures for the Whole Time Directors.

The Remuneration Policy of the Bank includes within its scope all business lines, all permanent staff in its domestic as 
well as international offices. Further the principles articulated in the compensation policy are universal, however in the 
event there are any statutory provisions in overseas locations the same take precedence over the remuneration policy of 
the Bank.

All  permanent  employees  of  the  Bank  except  those  covered  under  the  long  term  wage  agreement  are  covered  by 
the  said  compensation  policy.  The  number  of  employees  covered  under  the  compensation  policy  was  87,983  as  at

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

contributions of the Bank and / or relevant line of business in any year. Under the malus clause the 
incumbent foregoes the vesting of the deferred variable pay in full or in part. Under the claw back clause 
the incumbent is obligated to return all the tranches of payout received of bonus amounts pertaining to 
the relevant performance year. 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 
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 which factors not just quantitative, but also qualitative measures, such 
as quality of business sourced, customer complaints etc., 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.  

Review of Remuneration Policy of the Bank

The Compensation Policy of the Bank was reviewed by the NRC during the year ended March 31, 2018 
and the following material changes were incorporated therein:

(cid:57) 

Inclusion of definition of inadequacy of profits as per section 197 of the Companies Act, 2013

(cid:57)  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.

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 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.

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.

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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 bonus payout 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:

(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. 

Achievement against the plans of the Bank; and

B.   Achievement against the performance of peers.

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

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

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.

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

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:

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.

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

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

25  Segment reporting

Business segments 

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

a) 

Treasury

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

b)  Retail banking

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

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

c)  Wholesale banking

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

d)  Other banking business

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

e)  Unallocated

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

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

Geographic segments

The geographic segments of the Bank are categorised as domestic operations and foreign operations. Domestic operations 
comprise branches in India and foreign operations comprise branches outside India.

The  Liquidity  Coverage  Ratio  (LCR)  is  one  of  the  Basel  Committee’s  key  reforms  to  develop  a  more  resilient  banking  sector.  
The objective of the LCR is to promote the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of banks. It does this by ensuring that 
banks have an adequate stock of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) that can be converted easily and immediately 
into cash to meet their liquidity needs for a 30 calendar day liquidity stress scenario. The LCR is expected to improve the banking 
sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, whatever the source, thus reducing the risk of spillover 
from the financial sector to the real economy.

The LCR is calculated by dividing a bank’s stock of HQLA by its total net cash outflows over a 30-day stress period. The guidelines for 
LCR were effective January 1, 2015, with the minimum requirement at 60%, which would rise in equal annual steps to reach 100% 
on January 1, 2019. This graduated approach was designed to ensure that the LCR could be introduced without material disruption 
to  the  orderly  strengthening  of  banking  systems  or  the  ongoing  financing  of  economic  activity. The  present  requirement,  as  on  
March 31, 2018 is 90%.

In the Indian context, the run-off factors for the stressed scenarios are prescribed by the RBI, for various categories of liabilities (viz., 
deposits, unsecured and secured wholesale borrowings), as well as for undrawn commitments and derivative-related exposures, 
and which partially offset with inflows emanating from assets maturing within the same time period. Given below is the average LCR 
maintained by the Bank quarter-wise over the past two years:

The average LCR for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was at 105.16% as against 100.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, 
and well above the present prescribed minimum requirement of 90%. The average HQLA for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was 
` 159,124.53 crore, as against ` 137,711.74 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. During the same period the composition of 
government securities and treasury bills in the HQLA increased from 75% to 87%.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, derivative exposures (net of cash inflows) / collateral requirements and undrawn commitments 
constituted just about 0.3% and 4% respectively of average cash outflow, in line earlier periods. A strong and diversified liabilities 
profile has been at the helm of the Bank’s growth strategy. The Bank has consistently maintained a robust funding profile with a 
significant portion of funding through deposits. As of March 31, 2018 the top 20 depositors comprised of 6% of total deposits, as 
against 5% as of March 31, 2017.

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, 
Accounting  Standards  prescribed  under  Section  133 
of  the  Act  read  with  the  Companies  (Accounting 
Standards)  Rules,  2006,  as  amended  (“Accounting 
Standards”),  the  other  accounting  principles    generally 
accepted  in  India,  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  consolidated  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, as aforesaid.
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. 

3. 

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  applicable  Accounting  Standards  and  other 
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  India,  of 
the  consolidated  state  of  affairs  of  the  Group  as  at 
31st  March,  2018,  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 
two  subsidiaries  whose  financial  statements 
reflect  total  assets  of  `  46,391.72  crores  as  at 
31st  March,  2018,  total  revenues  of  `  7,829.17 
crores  and  net  cash  (outflows)  amounting  to  
`  63.52  crores  for  the  year  ended  on  that  date, 
as  considered  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. These financial statements have been 
audited  by  other  auditors  whose  reports  have 
been furnished to us by the Management and our 
opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in 
so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures

b) 

included in respect of these subsidiaries, and our 
report  in  terms  of  subsection  (3)  of  Section  143 
of  the  Act,  in  so  far  as  it  relates  to  the  aforesaid 
subsidiaries  is  based  solely  on  the  reports  of  the 
other auditors.

The consolidated financial statements also include 
the  Group’s  share  of  net  profit  of  `  0.52  crores 
for  the  period  from  1st  April  2017  to  9th  March 
2018,  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  above  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.

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  as  of  and  for  the  year 
ended  31st  March,  2018  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, 
its  subsidiary  companies  and  its  associate  company,  which 
are  companies  incorporated  in  India,  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,  as 
applicable.

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  were  established 

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  reports  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 

HDFC Bank Limited Annual Report 2017-18

158

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  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,  2018, 
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.

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

‘Group’ and ‘Group’s’ share of profits in an associate.

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.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management to make estimates 
and necessary assumptions 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:

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments

HDFC Bank Limited  

Classification:

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

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

Basis of classification:

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

Acquisition cost:

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

Disposal of investments:

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

Schedules to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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.

Investment in unquoted Venture Capital Fund (VCF) are categorised under HTM category for the initial period of three years 
and valued at cost. Such investment are required to be transferred to AFS thereafter. 

Pass Through Certificates (PTC) including Priority Sector-PTCs are valued by using FIMMDA credit spread as applicable for 
the NBFC category, based on the credit rating of the respective PTC over the YTM rates for government securities published 
by FIMMDA. 

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  investments  are  recognised  as  short  term  /  current  investments  and  are  valued  at  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable 
value.  

Interest  on  borrowings  is  recognised  in  the  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. 

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 addition to 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.

Schedules to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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.

HDB Financial Services Limited

Classification:

Advances are classified as standard, sub-standard and doubtful assets as per the Company policy approved by the Board. 
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 
financing on the transfer of ownership.

Provisioning:

The Company assesses all receivables for their recoverability and accordingly recognises provision for non-performing and 
doubtful  assets  as  per  approved  Company  policies  and  guidelines.  The  Company  ensures  provisions  made  are  not  lower 
than as stipulated by RBI guidelines.

The  Company  provides  0.40%  on  standard  assets  as  stipulated  by  RBI  master  direction  (RBI/DNBR/2016-17/45  Master 
Direction DNBR PD 008/03.10.119/2016-17) issued on September 1, 2016 Non-Banking Financial Company – Systematically 
Important Non-Deposit taking Company and Deposit taking Company (Reserve Bank) Directions 2016 as amended.

Loan origination costs:

Brokerage, commission, incentive to employee, etc. paid at the time of acquisition of loans are charged to expenses.

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  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.

Schedules to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended March 31, 2018

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. These are amortised over the period of the Certificate.

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:

purchase  price  and  any  attributable  cost  of  bringing  the  asset  to  its  working  condition  for  its  intended  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 assets on a straight line basis in the manner prescribed in 
Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, except for assets as under:

Software and system development expenditure are capitalised at cost of acquisition including cost attributable to bring the 
same in working condition and the useful life of the same is estimated at 3 years with zero residual value. Any expenses on 
such software for support and maintenance payable annually are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

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.

HDFC Securities Limited

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  recorded  at  the  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  on  the  date  of  the  transaction.  Exchange 
differences,  if  any,  arising  out  of  transactions  settled  during  the  year  are  recognized  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  and  Loss. 
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the Balance Sheet date are translated at the closing 
exchange rate on that date. The exchange differences, if any, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and related 
assets and liabilities are accordingly restated in the Balance Sheet.

Derivative contracts

HDFC Bank Limited

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

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

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

Employee benefits

HDFC Bank Limited

Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS’) 

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

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

Gratuity:

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

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

Superannuation:

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

Provident fund:

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

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

The guidance note on implementing AS-15, Employee Benefits, states that benefits involving employer established provident 
funds, which require interest shortfalls to be provided, are to be considered as defined benefit plans. Actuarial valuation of this 
Provident Fund interest shortfall is done as per the guidance note issued in this respect by The 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 target based incentives 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

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. 

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, 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  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 recognized 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 The 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. The imports are typically on a back-to-back 
basis and are priced to the customer based on the price quoted by the supplier. The difference between the price recovered 
from customers and cost of bullion 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:

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

Fair value methodology

The  fair  value  of  options  used  to  compute  the  proforma  net  profit  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 
prices of its equity shares. The Bank granted 1,68,82,050 options during the year ended March 31, 2018 (previous year: Nil).

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  its  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, 2018 are:

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 Group 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

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,  2018  (previous  year:  Nil)  towards  the 
present value of the guaranteed interest benefit obligation. The actuary has followed the deterministic approach as prescribed 
by the guidance note.

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

(a)  Treasury

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

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

(c)  Wholesale banking

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

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

debt  classified  as  Tier  I  or  Tier  II  capital  and  other  unallocable  assets  and  liabilities  such  as  deferred  tax,  prepaid 
expenses, etc.

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.

before  the  Audit  Committee/Board  for  approval.  There  were 
no  material  transactions  with  related  parties,  which  were  not

Commodity Price Risks and Foreign Exchange Risks and 
hedging activities

Being in the banking business, currently 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’ 
Association 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.

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  provided  by  the  exchange  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.

Accounting Treatment

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  and  presented 
under  the  historical  cost  convention  and  accrual  basis  of

Strictures and Penalties for last three financial years: 

During  the  current  financial  year  2017-18,  pursuant  to  the 
media reports, SEBI has issued directions to the Bank (“SEBI 
Directions”) in relation to leakage of unpublished price sensitive 
information  (“UPSI”)  pertaining  to  the  financial  results  of  the 
Bank for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and the quarter 
ended  June  30,  2017  in  various  private  WhatsApp  groups 
ahead  of  Bank’s  official  announcement  to  the  relevant  stock 
exchanges. SEBI has directed the Bank to observe the following: 
(i) to strengthen its processes / systems / controls forthwith to 
ensure  that  such  instances  of  leakage  of  unpublished  price 
sensitive information do not recur in future, (ii) to submit a report 
on: (a) the present systems and controls and how the present 
systems  and  controls  have  been  strengthened,  (b)  details  of 
persons who are responsible for monitoring such systems, and 
(c)  the  periodicity  of  monitoring.  Further,  SEBI  has  directed 
HDFC  Bank  Limited  to  conduct  an  internal  inquiry  into  the 
leakage of UPSI relating to its financial figures including Non-
Performing Assets (NPAs) results and take appropriate action 
against those responsible for the same, in accordance with the 
applicable law. The scope of such inquiry will need to include 
determination  of  the  possible  role  of  following  persons  in 
relation to the aforesaid leakage of UPSI: (i) persons / members 
of committees involved in generation of the original data for the 
purpose of determination of key figures pertaining to financial 
figures  including  gross  NPAs,  (ii)  persons  involved  in  the 
consolidation of the figures for the financial results, (iii) persons 
involved  in  the  preparation  of  board  notes  and  presentations, 
(iv) persons involved in dissemination of information relating to 
financial results in the public domain, and (v) any other persons 
who had access to the information. SEBI has directed the Bank 
to  complete  the  inquiry  within  a  period  of  three  months  from 
the date of the SEBI Directions and thereafter, file a report with 
SEBI in this regard within a further period of seven days.

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, 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  (“PMLA”)  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. 
On  June  28,  2017,  Appellate  Tribunal,  Prevention  of  Money 
Laundering Act passed the judgment that the prescribed matter 
was  covered  u/s  13(2)(a)  and  not  u/s  13(2)(d)  of  the  PMLA, 
2002  and  accordingly,  the  penalty  of  `  26  lakhs  in  26  cases 
was not sustainable as on merit. The Appellate Tribunal further 
ordered  that  the  Fixed  Deposit  Receipt  (“FDR”)  deposited  by 
the Bank as per the interim order of the Appellate Tribunal be 
released forthwith and the appeal was disposed of accordingly.  
The  Bank  had  communicated  to  FIU-IND  requesting  their 
consent  for  liquidation  of  the  FDR  of  `  26  lakhs.  FIU-IND, 
in  response,  has  informed  the  Bank  that  the  FIU-IND  has 
challenged the order of the Appellate Tribunal before the Hon’ble 
High Court of Delhi, with regard to the direction to release the 
FDR u/s 42 of the PMLA. The FIU-IND further advised that the 
appeal, including application for stay, is to be listed before the 
Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in due course and accordingly, at 
this stage the Bank’s request to liquidate the FDR is premature. 
The Bank has received notice of summons in this regard and 
the matter is pending before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi as 
on date. 

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