Message from the Chairman

The year gone by has seen several developments 
in the economic landscape in India and globally. 
The United States has shown signs of recovery, 
and global financial markets have been relatively 
stable. At the same time, continuing concerns 
over the fiscal position of countries in Europe, 
events  in  the  middle-east  and  north  Africa, 
rising oil prices and emerging inflationary trends 
in many countries have emerged as challenges 
impacting the global growth outlook.

Investment 

India  continues  to  be  well-placed  to  achieve 
robust  economic  growth,  in  a  challenging 
environment. 
infrastructure, 
urban development & rejuvenation, the growth 
of the rural economy and financial inclusion will 
be  the  key  factors  that  will  shape  India  in  the 
coming decade.

Investment in infrastructure will be a key driver 
of  India’s  growth  in  the  coming  years.  The 
Government of India is targeting infrastructure 
investment  of  USD  1  trillion  between  2012 
and  2017.  This  will  cover  the  whole  gamut  of 
infrastructure  that  forms  the  backbone  of  an 
economy:  power,  communications,  transport, 
water  resources  management  and  so  on.  An 
investment of this magnitude will have significant 
positive implications for the economy, in terms 
of  improvement  in  productivity,  demand  for 
various  input  goods  and  services,  job  creation 
and income growth.

infrastructure  development  and 

Rural  India  has  over  the  years  emerged  as  an 
important  driver  of  India’s  growth.  The  rural 
economy  has  become  diversified,  and  rural  India 
is  now  estimated  to  account  for  close  to  half 
the  country’s  GDP.  Thus,  rural  India  contributes 
significantly to the industrial and services sectors, 
in  addition  to  the  agriculture  sector.  It  also 
represents  a  large  and  fast-growing  market  for 
many  goods  and  services.  Government  policies 
and  schemes  introduced  over  the  last  few  years 
have enhanced the resilience of the rural economy. 
The growth in per capita incomes in rural India will 
lead to accelerated reduction in poverty and socio-
economic  inclusion,  and  have  significant  positive 
outcomes for the economy as a whole.

The engagement of a much larger section of our 
population  in  the  economic  mainstream  through 
financial  inclusion  will  be  a  key  feature  of  our 
growth going forward. Developments in low-cost 
information  and  communications  technology  and 
the unique identity initiative have the potential to 
rapidly  accelerate  financial  inclusion  by  reducing 
the  costs  of  providing  access  to  basic  financial 
services,  both  in  terms  of  initial  enrolment  and 
ongoing  servicing.  Banks  are  already  working  on 
business models to serve the un-banked segment 
through  deployment  of  innovative  solutions,  and 
this will gain momentum in the coming years. 

Investment in social infrastructure – healthcare and 
education & training – is key to realising the benefits 
of  our  demographic  dividend  and  spreading  the 
benefits of growth. Here too, a range of initiatives 
are  being  taken  by  both  the  government  and  the 
private  sector.  There  is  recognition  that  building 
capacity  among  the  poor  to  lead  healthy  and 
productive lives through access to basic healthcare 
and  relevant  primary  and  vocational  education  is 

essential  for  long-term,  sustainable  growth.  It  is 
essential  for  Indian  business  to  be  competitive 
and  maintain  healthy  growth;  and  it  is  essential 
to  the  larger  national  goal  of  inclusive  growth  
and prosperity.

There will no doubt be challenges along the way. 
The  most  immediate  issue  that  policymakers  are 
concerned with is inflation. This is in some ways 
a global phenomenon that is accentuated in India 
by  our  high  economic  growth  and  consequent 
increase  in  demand.  Various  measures  are  being 
put  in  place  to  address  this,  including  monetary 
measures to contain demand side pressures. The 
results of these will be witnessed over time.

The ICICI Group is a key player in India’s economic 
landscape.  The  management  has  in  place  a  well 
thought  out  strategy  for  each  segment  of  the 
financial  services  sector,  catering  to  the  diverse 
needs  of  customers  across 
the  spectrum. 
This  strategy  is  being  executed  within  a  sound 
governance framework that seeks to balance the 
interests of all stakeholders to ensure sustainable 
value creation.

Let me end by saying that India is a land of great 
opportunity. The rapid changes of the last decade 
are  only  a  precursor  to  the  much  greater  growth 
and prosperity that we can achieve in the coming 
years.  The  ICICI  Group  is  well  placed  to  benefit 
from these opportunities.

With best wishes,

K. V. Kamath

CHANDA KOCHHAR Managing Director & CEO

Letter from  
the Managing Director & CEO

Dear Stakeholders,

In  2009,  we  had  clearly  set  out  our  strategic 
path  for  the  next  five  years.  The  first  stage  of 
this  strategy  was  to  reposition  the  balance 
sheet for the next phase of growth. To this end, 
in  fiscal  2010,  we  focused  on  rebalancing  our 
asset and liability mix, improving cost efficiency 
and  reducing  credit  costs,  while  maintaining 
a  strong  capital  position.  We  had  shared  with 
our  stakeholders  last  year,  our  success  in 
these  efforts.  Based  on  this  progress,  we  had 
articulated  our  move  to  the  next  stage  of  our 
strategy.  Our  strategy  for  fiscal  2011  was  to 
resume growth by capitalising on the emerging 
opportunities  in  the  Indian  economy,  while 
maintaining  and  enhancing  the  more  efficient 
balance  sheet  structure  that  we  achieved  in 
fiscal 2010.

It  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  share  with  you 
that  in  fiscal  2011,  we  successfully  executed 
this  strategy,  with  robust  growth  in  our  loan 
portfolio; improved profitability; and continued 
focus on key operating parameters. 

 • ICICI Bank’s total advances grew by 19.4% in 
fiscal 2011. This was driven mainly by strong 
growth  in  domestic  corporate  advances,  as 
well  as  in  the  lending  to  Indian  companies 
from  our  international  branches.  The  retail 
portfolio also stabilised and started growing 
in  the  second  half  of  the  year  after  several 
quarters of decline.

 • The  net  profit  after  tax  for  fiscal  2011  was  
` 51.51 bn, representing a 28% increase over 

4

the previous year. The return on assets, or RoA, 
improved  substantially  to  1.34%  in  fiscal  2011 
from 1.13% in the previous year.

consolidated  profit  after  tax,  despite  the  impact 
of  regulatory  changes  and  volatility  in  financial 
markets on several businesses.

 • The  strong  results  achieved  by  the  Bank 
are  reflected  in  the  higher  level  of  proposed 
dividend of ` 14 per equity share compared to  
` 12 per equity share in the previous year.

the 

improvements  achieved 

 • The  above  growth  and  profitability  was 
achieved  on  the  back  of  sustaining  and 
enhancing 
in 
key  operating  metrics.  The  proportion  of 
in 
current  and  savings  account  deposits 
total  deposits,  which  had  already  increased 
from  28.7%  at  March  31,  2009  to  41.7%  at  
March 31, 2010, was further improved to 45.1% at  
March 31, 2011.  The  net  non-performing  asset 
ratio  was  reduced  substantially  from  1.87%  at 
March  31,  2010  to  0.94%  at  March  31,  2011. 
The  cost-to-asset  ratio  was  contained  at  1.7% 
despite  the  expansion  in  the  branch  network 
and  increase  in  business  volumes.  The  Bank’s 
capital  adequacy  position  continued  to  be  very 
strong, with total capital adequacy of 19.5% and 
Tier-1 capital adequacy of 13.2%.

While  executing  our  organic  growth  strategy,  we 
continued  to  focus  on  opportunities  to  further 
strengthen  our  franchise  and  our  platform  for 
capitalising  on  the  growth  opportunities  in  the 
Indian  economy.  To  this  end,  we  undertook  the 
major strategic initiative of the merger of Bank of 
Rajasthan with ICICI Bank during fiscal 2011. With 
this  merger,  we  created  a  combined  network  of 
over  2,500  branches,  substantially  expanding  our 
presence  not  only  in  Rajasthan  but  also  in  other 
major  banking  centres  in  the  country.  Following 
receipt  of  regulatory  approvals  for  the  merger  in 
August  2010,  we  moved  quickly  to  integrate  the 
Bank  of  Rajasthan  franchise  with  ICICI  Bank.  We 
have  been  able  to  achieve  integration  of  human 
resources  and  various  aspects  of  operations 
seamlessly  in  a  short  span  of  time.  We  believe 
this provides us a powerful platform for pursuing 
our objective of sustained profitable growth in the 
coming years.

The ICICI Group has a unique diversified financial 
services franchise in India, with leadership positions 
across  many  segments  of  financial  services.  Our 
non-banking  businesses  –  insurance,  securities, 
asset  management  and  private  equity  -  continue 
to build on their strong positions in their respective 
businesses  and  realign  their  strategies  to  the 
emerging market environment wherever required. 
In fiscal 2011, we achieved a 30.5% increase in the 

As  the  second-largest  bank  in  India,  we  are  also 
conscious  of  our  larger  role  in  the  growth  and 
development  of  the  Indian  economy.  Our  vision 
encompasses not only participating in all aspects 
of  the  Indian  economy  and  its  international 
linkages,  but  also  catalysing 
India’s  growth. 
We  are  executing  a  focused  financial  inclusion 
plan-leveraging 
information  &  communications 
technology and the enabling regulatory framework 
to provide basic banking services to the unbanked. 
Through the ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth, 
we  are  seeking  to  improve  the  quality  of  school 
education and primary healthcare in a number of 
states, thereby playing our role in the strengthening 
of  the  soft  infrastructure  that  is  critical  to  long-
term  sustainable  growth  of  our  country.  Through 
our  specialised  technology  finance  practice,  we 
continue to support research & development in the 
area of clean technology and energy efficiency to 
mitigate climate change. 

Looking  ahead,  we  see  strong  fundamentals 
driving sustained high growth in India for several 
years to come. There would continue to be periodic 
challenges  on  account  of  global  developments, 
volatility  in  capital  flows,  inflation  and  other 
factors.  However,  the  underlying  momentum 
of  our  demographic  dividend  and  investment 
potential will support robust growth over the long-
term.  The  ICICI  Group  therefore  has  a  range  of 
growth  opportunities  across  its  businesses  and 
a strong platform to leverage these opportunities 
and  create  value  for  its  stakeholders.  We  are 
committed  to  playing  a  proactive  role  in  India’s 
growth  and  also  helping  to  achieve  the  national 
goal  of  social  &  economic  inclusion  of  the  less 
advantaged sections of our society. 

We  look  forward  to  your  continued  support  and 
goodwill as we move forward.

With best wishes,

Chanda Kochhar

RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
The Bank’s risk management strategy is based on a clear understanding of various 
risks,  disciplined  risk  assessment  and  measurement  procedures  and  continuous 
monitoring. The policies and procedures established for this purpose are continuously 
benchmarked with international best practices. The Board of Directors has oversight 
on all the risks assumed by the Bank. Specific Committees have been constituted to 
facilitate focused oversight of various risks, as follows:
 •

The Risk Committee of the Board reviews risk management policies of the Bank 
in  relation  to  various  risks.  The  Risk  Committee  reviews  various  risk  policies 
pertaining to credit, market, liquidity, operational and outsourcing risks, review of 
the Bank’s stress testing framework and group risk management framework. The 
Committee reviews the risk profile of the Bank through periodic review of the key 
risk indicators and risk profile templates and annual review of the Internal Capital 
Adequacy  Assessment  Process.  The  Committee  also  reviews  the  risk  profile 
of  its  overseas  banking  subsidiaries  annually.  The  Risk  Committee  reviews  the 
Bank’s  compliance  with  risk  management  guidelines  stipulated  by  the  Reserve 
Bank of India and of the status of implementation of the advanced approaches 
under the Basel framework. The Risk Committee also reviews the stress-testing 
framework as part of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). 
The stress testing frame work included a wide range of Bank-specific and market 
(systemic) scenarios. Linkage of macroeconomic factors to stress test scenarios 
was documented as a part of ICAAP. The ICAAP exercise covers the domestic and 
overseas operations of the Bank, the banking subsidiaries and the material non-
banking subsidiaries. The Risk Committee also reviews the Liquidity Contingency 
Plan (LCP) for the Bank and the threshold limits.  

 • Apart  from  sanctioning  credit  proposals,  the  Credit  Committee  of  the  Board 
reviews  developments  in  key  industrial  sectors  and  the  Bank’s  exposure  to 
these  sectors  as  well  as  to  large  borrower  accounts.  The  Credit  Committee 
also reviews the non-performing loans, accounts under watch, overdues and 
incremental sanctions.
The  Audit  Committee  of  the  Board  provides  direction  to  and  also  monitors 
the  quality  of  the  internal  audit  function  and  also  monitors  compliance  with 
inspection and audit reports of RBI and statutory auditors. 
The Asset Liability Management Committee is responsible for managing liquidity 
and interest rate risk and reviewing the asset-liability position of the Bank. 

 •

 •

A summary of reviews conducted by these committees are reported to the Board 
on a regular basis. 

Policies approved from time to time by the Board of Directors/Committees of the 
Board form the governing framework for each type of risk. The business activities 
are undertaken within this policy framework. Independent groups and sub-groups 
have  been  constituted  across  the  Bank  to  facilitate  independent  evaluation, 
monitoring and reporting of various risks. These groups function independently of 
the business groups/sub-groups.

The  Bank  has  dedicated  groups  namely  the  Risk  Management  Group  (RMG), 
Compliance Group, Corporate Legal Group, Internal Audit Group and the Financial 
Crime  Prevention  and  Reputation  Risk  Management  Group  (FCPRRMG),  with  a 
mandate to identify, assess and monitor all of the Bank’s principal risks in accordance 
with  well-defined  policies  and  procedures.  RMG  is  further  organised  into  Credit 
Risk Management Group, Market Risk Management Group and Operational Risk 

“We will continue to focus 
on delivering the promise 
of Khayaal Aapka to our 
customers. Leveraging 
technology for greater 
customer convenience, 
and enhancing the 
service experience 
across all channels will 
be key elements of our 
strategy.  As part of our 
value proposition, we 
will continue to offer 
appropriate credit products 
to our customers and thus 
sustain the momentum of 
growth in our loan portfolio. 
In addition to expanding 
and deepening our urban 
franchise, we will also 
increase our penetration in 
rural markets to enhance 
financial inclusion.”

confirmation from the Managing Director & CEO regarding compliance with the Code 
by all the Directors and senior management is given on page 32 of the Annual Report.

COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE OF THE AUDITORS
ICICI  Bank  has  annexed  to  this  report,  a  certificate  obtained  from  the  statutory  auditors,  S.R.  Batliboi  &  Co., 
Chartered Accountants, regarding compliance of conditions of Corporate Governance as stipulated in Clause 49 
of the listing agreement.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION SCHEME
In  fiscal  2000,  ICICI  Bank  instituted  an  Employee  Stock  Option  Scheme  (ESOS)  to  enable  the  employees  and 
Directors of ICICI Bank and its subsidiaries to participate in future growth and financial success of the Bank. As per 
the ESOS, as amended from time to time, the maximum number of options granted to any employee/Director in a 
year is limited to 0.05% of ICICI Bank’s issued equity shares at the time of the grant, and the aggregate of all such 
options is limited to 5% of ICICI Bank’s issued equity shares on the date of the grant (equivalent to 57.59 million 
shares at April 28, 2011).

30

Options  granted  for  fiscal  2003  and  earlier  years  vest  in  a  graded  manner  over  a  three-year  period,  with  20%, 
30% and 50% of the grants vesting in each year, commencing not earlier than 12 months from the date of grant. 
Options granted for fiscal 2004 to 2008 vest in a graded manner over a four-year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 
30% of the grants vesting in each year, commencing not earlier than 12 months from the date of grant. Options 
granted  in  April  2009  vest  in  a  graded  manner  over  a  five  year  period  with  20%,  20%,  30%  and  30%  of  grant 
vesting each year commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of grant.

Options granted in April 2010 vest in a graded manner over a four year period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of 
the grant vesting each year commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant.

On  the  basis  of  the  recommendation  of  the  Board  Governance,  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee 
(BGRNC), the Board at its Meeting held on October 29, 2010 approved a grant of approximately 3.1 million options 
as a special measure to eligible employees and wholetime Directors of ICICI Bank and certain of its subsidiaries. 
Each option confers on the beneficiary a right to apply for one equity share of face value of ` 10 of ICICI Bank at  
`  967.00 which was the average closing price of the ICICI Bank stock on the stock exchange during the six months 
up to October 28, 2010. 50% of the options granted would vest on April 30, 2014 and the balance 50% on April 30, 
2015. The Bank has received approval of RBI for the above grant of options to wholetime Directors of the Bank.

The Board further at its meeting held on April 28, 2011 approved a grant of approximately 4.25 million options for 
fiscal 2011 to eligible employees and wholetime Directors (options granted to wholetime Directors being subject 
to RBI approval). Each option confers on the employee a right to apply for one equity share of face value of `  10 of 
ICICI Bank at ` 1,106.85 which was closing price on the stock exchange which recorded the highest trading volume 
in ICICI Bank shares on April 27, 2011. These options would vest over a four year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 
30% respectively of the grant of vesting each year commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant.

Options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever 
is later. The price of the options granted prior to June 30, 2003 is the closing market price on the stock exchange, 
which recorded the highest trading volume on the date of grant. The price for options granted on or after June 
30, 2003 till July 21, 2004 is equal to the average of the high and low market price of the equity shares in the 
two week period preceding the date of grant of the options, on the stock exchange which recorded the highest 
trading volume during the two week period. The price for options granted on or after July 22, 2004 (other than the 
grants made on October 29, 2010) is equal to the closing price on the stock exchange which recorded the highest 
trading volume preceding the date of grant of options. The above disclosure is in line with the SEBI guidelines, as 
amended from time to time.

Particulars of options granted by ICICI Bank upto April 28, 2011 are given below:

No employee was granted options during any one year equal to or exceeding 0.05% of the issued equity 
shares of ICICI Bank at the time of the grant.

The  diluted  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  pursuant  to  issue  of  shares  on  exercise  of  options  calculated  in 
accordance  with  AS-20  was  `  45.06  in  fiscal  2011  against  basic  EPS  of  `  45.27.  The  Bank  recognised  a 
compensation cost of ` 2.9 million in fiscal 2011 based on the intrinsic value of options. However if ICICI 
Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the year ended 
March 31, 2011 would have been higher by ` 905.8 million and proforma profit after tax would have been 
`  50.60  billion.  On  a  proforma  basis,  ICICI  Bank’s  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  would  have  been  
` 44.47 and `  44.27 respectively.

Business Overview

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The long-term fundamentals of the Indian economy continue to be strong. These include favourable demographics, 
rising incomes, growing consuming class and a large investment pipeline. These growth drivers are expected to be 
sustained over the medium-to-long term. The growth of the economy is being driven primarily by domestic investment 
and consumption, with limited dependence on exports or the demand situation in other economies. In addition, the 
growing  economic  activity  in  rural  India  and  the  emergence  of  smaller  cities  as  important  growth  drivers  are  key 
positive developments.

At the same time, there are some concerns, particularly with regard to inflation. Inflationary pressures emerging from 
commodity and food prices have shown signs of becoming more generalised, leading to the containing of inflation 
becoming  the  key  priority  of  policy  makers.  In  addition,  the  global  economic  environment  continues  to  remain 
uncertain with slow recovery and fiscal concerns in developed markets. 

We believe that while these challenges may have an impact in the short term and cause periodic volatility, the strong 
underlying fundamentals of the Indian economy would sustain high rates of growth over the medium to long term.

For  a  discussion  of  recent  economic  and  regulatory  developments,  please  refer  to  “Management’s  Discussion  & 
Analysis”.

BUSINESS REVIEW
During fiscal 2011, the Bank focused on 5Cs strategy – Credit growth, CASA mobilisation, Cost optimization, Credit 
quality  improvement  and  Customer  centricity.  We  believe  that  we  have  achieved  substantial  success  on  all  the 
parameters of this strategy and are well placed to leverage on the growth opportunities in the economy. 

RETaIL BaNKINg
After significant moderation in previous years, retail credit growth in the system picked up pace in fiscal 2011. As per 
data published by RBI for the period up to March 25, 2011, year-on-year retail credit growth was about 17%. 

We continue to believe that retail credit in India has robust long-term growth potential, driven by sound fundamentals 
of rising income levels and favorable demographic profile. We will continue to focus on select retail asset segments 
like housing and vehicle loans where we expect significant demand over the medium to long term. We are also seeing 
smaller markets beyond the large urban centres emerging as important drivers of growth in this segment. In addition, 
customer segments are now maturing given the increase in incomes. These distinct customer segments, with widely 
different requirements and risk-reward characteristics, require specialised strategies. We believe that our knowledge 
of the customer and insights into the Indian market position us well to take advantage of these opportunities.

Our  branches  are  the  key  points  of  customer  acquisition  and  service.  Accordingly,  our  organisation  structure  has 
been  shaped  to  provide  greater  empowerment  to  our  branches.  The  branch  network  is  expected  to  serve  as  an 
integrated channel for deposit mobilisation, selected retail asset origination and distribution of third party products as 
well as the focal point for customer service. The outbound sales teams have been strengthened and brought under 
branch supervision. They are supported by the operations and phone banking teams to deliver high quality service, 
customer retention and up-selling; and by a strategic product and service design team to design product and service 
strategies for different customer segments. We have deepened our engagement and relationship with customers and 
created more opportunities for cross-selling other products by introducing dedicated privilege banking areas, which 
are manned by specially trained privilege bankers, and exclusive wealth branches for our high net worth customers.  
The Bank’s focus during the year was on delivering superior customer service in line with its articulated Khayaal Aapka 
proposition.

During the year, we acquired The Bank of Rajasthan which substantially enhanced our branch network and strengthened 
our presence in northern and western India. The merger of Bank of Rajasthan added over 450 branches to our network. 
Including these, our branch network has increased from 1,707 branches at March 31, 2010 to 2,529 branches at March 31, 
2011. We also increased our ATM network from 5,219 ATMs at March 31, 2010 to 6,055 ATMs at March 31, 2011.

34

 
 
 
During fiscal 2011, we continued our focus on increasing the proportion of low-cost retail deposits in our funding base. 
Our current and savings account (CASA) deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased from 41.7% at March 
31, 2010 to 45.1% at March 31, 2011. 

During the year, our retail disbursements increased as we focused on opportunities in residential mortgages, vehicle 
finance  and  construction  equipment  finance.  The  realignment  of  our  retail  sales  and  service  architecture  helped 
us  increase  our  reach  while  simultaneously  bringing  focus  towards  customer  service.  We  sourced  an  increasing 
proportion of our mortgage business through our branch network. In addition to mortgages, we also saw traction in 
auto loans, commercial vehicle financing and construction equipment business in fiscal 2011. 

We also continued to focus on cross-selling new products and products of our life and general insurance subsidiaries 
to our existing customers. Cross-sell allows us to deepen our relationship with our existing customers and earn fee 
income.  We  will  continue  to  focus  on  cross-sell  as  a  means  to  improve  profitability  and  offer  a  complete  suite  of 
products to our customers. 

SMaLL ENTERPRISES
Medium  &  small  enterprises  are  important  engines  of  growth  and  reflect  India’s  entrepreneurial  energy.  We  offer 
complete banking solutions to small and medium enterprises across industry segments. We support the growth of 
the small and medium enterprises sector while adopting a cluster based financing approach for enterprises with a 
homogeneous profile in industries such as infrastructure, engineering, information technology, education, life-sciences 
and agri-based businesses.  We also offer supply chain financing solutions to the channel partners of large corporates. 

During  fiscal  2011,  we  strengthened  the  sales  and  relationship  coverage  by  increasing  our  presence  with  greater 
empowerment at zonal levels. This has allowed us to deepen our customer relationships and supplement the customer 
acquisition by leveraging our branch network along with our commercial banking franchise. The Bank also contributes 
significantly to the SME eco-system through multiple initiatives such SME CEOs Knowledge Series, Emerging India 
Awards, SME Expos and the SME Toolkit - an online business and advisory resource.  

We have a long tradition of partnering entrepreneurs early in their growth phase, building lasting and mutually beneficial 
relationships that deliver recurring value. We will continue to further strengthen our proposition and penetration in this 
segment.

CORPORaTE BaNKINg
Our  corporate  banking  strategy  is  based  on  providing  comprehensive  and  customised  financial  solutions  to  our 
corporate  customers.  We  offer  a  comprehensive  suite  of  corporate  banking  products  including  rupee  and  foreign 
currency debt, working capital credit, structured financing, loan syndication and commercial banking products and 
services.  Our  corporate  and  investment  banking  franchise  is  built  around  a  core  relationship  team  that  has  strong 
relationships  with  almost  all  of  the  country’s  corporate  houses.  The  relationship  team  is  product  agnostic  and  is 
responsible for managing banking relationships with clients. We have also put in place product specific teams with 
a  view  to  focus  on  designing  financial  solutions  for  clients  spread  across  structured  finance,  project  finance,  loan 
syndication and markets. The Structured Finance Group is responsible for working with the relationship team in India 
and our international subsidiaries and branches for structuring and execution of investment banking mandates and 
other transactions.

We have a Commercial Banking Group working closely with the Corporate Banking Group for growing this business 
through  identified  branches.  Our  strategy  for  growth  in  commercial  banking,  i.e.  of  meeting  the  regular  banking 
requirements  of  companies  for  transactions  and  trade,  is  based  on  leveraging  our  strong  client  relationships  and 
focusing on enhancing client servicing capability at the operational level.

We have enhanced our client servicing capability by the effective use of “Mega Branches” spread across all major 
commercial centres across the country catering to specialised commercial banking needs of clients. These branches 
have  highly  cohesive  and  dedicated  customer  focused  transaction  teams,  led  by  senior  branch  heads,  to  service 
customers and provide a better transactional experience to the client. An efficient central operations team complements 
the service delivery capability.

Annual Report 2010-2011    35

Business Overview

The  relationship  team  also  works  with  our  Markets  Group  to  assist  customers  in  devising  and  executing  risk 
management strategies to address foreign currency, interest rate and liquidity risks. Our loan syndication franchise 
enables us to structure, underwrite and syndicate rupee and foreign currency debt with Indian and offshore investors. 
We have built robust sector specific syndication skills across project finance, M&A financing and structured finance to 
provide optimal financing solutions. 

The continuing expansion of Indian companies provides significant opportunities for our corporate banking business. 
Our expertise lies in structuring client specific solutions coupled with seamless delivery for an enriching customer 
experience. We will continue to focus on increasing the granularity and stability of our revenue streams by executing 
our transaction banking and trade services strategy, while keeping a close watch on credit quality and further deepening 
our client relationships.

PROJECT FINaNCE
With strong momentum in the Indian economy, there has been a significant increase in investment activity with capacity 
additions across sectors such as infrastructure, power, oil & gas, urban development and manufacturing. We expect a 
significant increase in infrastructure financing requirements going forward. The power sector will witness the execution 
of large projects given the energy needs of the country and the government’s energy expansion programmes. Besides 
requirements arising out of capacity additions, significant investments are also projected in inter-regional and regional 
transmission  corridors  for  strengthening  the  national  grid.  Further,  we  also  expect  substantial  development  in  the 
renewable energy segment. With the scale-up in gas production there is a need to connect India’s various regional 
gas  pipeline  systems  and  as  such,  significant  investments  in  trunk  pipeline  networks  are  expected.  The  improved 
gas  availability  and  pipeline  connectivity  is  also  expected  to  drive  the  expansion  of  the  city  gas  network.  In  the 
transportation sector, roads and ports have seen activity. The momentum is expected to increase as the government 
has been bidding out new projects for development of national and state highways. With the government promoting 
an  inclusive  maritime  infrastructure  in  the  ports  sector,  there  has  been  increased  private  participation  in  projects 
for  berths  and  terminal  development,  channel  deepening,  port  connectivity  and  modernisation  of  equipment.  The 
railway sector is also expected to witness modernisation of railway stations, logistics development and expansion of 
dedicated corridors for freight. The telecom sector is expected to see continued growth due to decline in tariffs and 
increased focus on rural markets. Further, we also expect increased private sector investments in the development of 
water supply, education and healthcare infrastructure. 

Our long tradition of project finance and our ability to offer structured and customised solutions position us uniquely 
to capitalise on these opportunities and cater to the financing requirements in the infrastructure sector. It will be our 
constant endeavour to add value to projects through financial structuring to ensure bankability. These services are 
backed by innovative structuring capabilities, sectoral expertise and sound due diligence.

INTERNaTIONaL BaNKINg
Our  international  strategy  is  focused  on  meeting  the  foreign  currency  needs  of  our  Indian  corporate  clients  and 
partnering  them  in  their  global  expansion,  taking  select  trade  finance  exposures  linked  to  imports  to  India,  and 
achieving the status of the preferred non-resident Indian (NRI) community bank in key markets. We also seek to build 
stable wholesale funding sources and strong syndication capabilities to support our corporate and investment banking 
business, and to expand private banking operations for India-centric asset classes. ICICI Bank currently has subsidiaries 
in the United Kingdom, Russia and Canada, branches in the United States, Singapore, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, 
Dubai International Finance Centre and Qatar Financial Centre and representative offices in the United Arab Emirates, 
China, South Africa, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. We opened our first retail branch in Singapore in 
fiscal 2011, after being granted Qualified Full Banking (QFB) privileges. The Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary ICICI Bank 
UK PLC has eleven branches in the United Kingdom and a branch each in Belgium and Germany. ICICI Bank Canada 
has nine branches. ICICI Bank Eurasia Limited Liability Company has one branch. 

In  fiscal  2011,  global  economic  activity  picked  up  at  differential  rates  with  emerging  markets  experiencing  strong 
growth and developed markets continuing to face a phase of slow recovery. However, as the overall global economic 
environment improved, the pace of recovery in international trade and capital flows strengthened significantly. Exports 
from India crossed USD 200 billion and have reached an all-time high. In this changing environment, we continued to 
maintain adequate capital and focused on risk containment and liquidity management in our international operations. 
We also focused on improving the funding profile in our international operations. We became the first Indian bank to

issue 10-year senior bonds in the international markets. We also focused on establishing and growing relationships 
with global multinationals that are increasingly entering and expanding in Indian markets. 

We  also  strengthened  our  market  position  and  share  in  remittances  during  fiscal  2011  and  continued  to  develop 
products and service offerings to meet the requirements of the Non Resident Indian (NRI) community. The emphasis 
was on improving account operation via remote channels in order to cater to the customers’ needs when overseas. 
We  launched  I-Express,  an  instant  cross-border  money  transfer  option  for  NRIs  through  our  select  partners  in  the 
Middle  East.  The  I-Express  facility  offers  the  remitter  an  option  of  visiting  any  partner  outlet  for  instant  credit  into 
the  beneficiary  account  maintained  with  ICICI  Bank  in  India,  at  no  extra  cost.  We  also  launched  ‘Fixed  Rupee’  on 
Money2India.com – a facility that enables NRIs to send the exact rupee amount remittance to India since the exchange 
rate is confirmed at the time of initiating the remittance. 

INCLUSIVE & RURaL BaNKINg
In  accordance  with  the  ICICI  Group’s  vision  of  combining  a  sustainable  business  model  with  a  social  and  human 
development  agenda,  the  Bank  has  undertaken  several  initiatives  to  meet  the  financial  services  needs  of  the  rural 
market. These include offering credit through our branches and dedicated field teams and financial inclusion through 
business  correspondents.  We  continued  to  focus  on  improving  our  product  and  service  offerings  to  meet  the 
requirements of all participants in the rural market including farmers, traders, commission agents, small processors 
and other medium agri-corporates. 

In March 2010, our Board approved a three-year financial inclusion plan that envisaged the opening of no-frill savings 
accounts and expanding our rural reach over the next three years along with the provision of credit to select individuals 
in the target segment through various product lines comprising micro-credit, kisan credit card, farm equipment loan 
and loan against jewellery. In fiscal 2011, we focused on building capacity to implement our financial inclusion plan 
and our progress against the plan targets during the year has been satisfactory. We have also focused on opening 
accounts for routing benefit payments under various government schemes and have received the mandate for opening 
accounts of individuals under these schemes in certain states. 

The Bank has also identified 23 Business Correspondents having a network of 208 customer service points, to service 
these  customers.  We  tied  up  with  Vodafone  and  Aircel  for  extending  basic  financial  services  through  the  mobile 
platform. The plan is to leverage the penetration and the distribution infrastructure of the mobile network operators. 
We have also built lending capability in over 1,000 of our branches for products targeted towards individual customers 
in the agri-value chain. We also increased our product offerings in rural India by relaunching farm equipment finance 
with  strategic  tie-ups  with  tractor  manufacturers.  New  product  initiatives  were  also  undertaken  during  the  year  to 
enhance credit flow towards the micro and small enterprises sector.

Going  forward,  we  will  continue  to  focus  on  leveraging  our  branch  network  and  the  network  of  our  Business 
Correspondent  partners  to  enhance  financial  inclusion  by  offering  banking  facilities  to  the  unbanked,  and  growing  
our  relationships  with  these  customers  over  time.  We  will  seek  to  play  a  significant  role  in  the  channeling  of  
payments under government schemes to the beneficiaries through their bank accounts with us. We will also leverage 
the  emerging  initiatives  and  infrastructure,  such  as  the  Unique  Identity  initiative  of  the  Government,  that  support 
financial inclusion in the country. We will seek to scale up our offerings of credit products in rural areas and across the 
agricultural value chain by leveraging our extensive branch network and developing appropriate product propositions 
for these segments.

RISK MaNagEMENT
Risk  is  an  integral  part  of  the  banking  business  and  we  aim  at  delivering  superior  shareholder  value  by  achieving 
an  appropriate  trade-off  between  risk  and  returns.  The  key  risks  are  credit  risk,  market  risk  and  operational  risk. 
Our  risk  management  strategy  is  based  on  a  clear  understanding  of  various  risks,  disciplined  risk  assessment  and 
measurement procedures and continuous monitoring.

The key principles underlying our risk management framework are as follows:

The Board of Directors has oversight on all the risks assumed by the Bank. Specific Committees have been constituted 
to facilitate focused oversight of various risks. Our Risk Committee reviews our risk management policies in relation 

Annual Report 2010-2011    37

Business Overview

to various risks and regulatory compliance issues relating thereto. It reviews key risk indicators covering areas such 
as  credit  risk,  interest  rate  risk,  liquidity  risk  and  foreign  exchange  risk  and  the  limits  framework,  including  stress 
test limits for various risks. It also carries out an assessment of the capital adequacy based on the risk profile of our 
balance sheet and reviews the status with respect to implementation of Basel norms. Our Credit Committee reviews 
developments in key industrial sectors and our exposure to these sectors and reviews major portfolios on a periodic 
basis. Our Audit Committee provides direction to and also monitors the quality of the internal audit function. Our Asset 
Liability Management Committee is responsible for managing the balance sheet within the risk parameters laid down 
by the Board/Risk Committee and reviewing our asset-liability position.

Policies approved from time to time by the Board of Directors/Committees of the Board form the governing framework 
for each type of risk. The business activities are undertaken within this policy framework.

Independent  groups  and  sub-groups  have  been  constituted  across  the  Bank  to  facilitate  independent  evaluation, 
monitoring and reporting of various risks. These groups function independently of the business groups/sub-groups.

We have dedicated groups namely the Risk Management Group, Compliance Group, Corporate Legal Group, Internal 
Audit Group and the Financial Crime Prevention & Reputation Risk Management Group, with a mandate to identify, 
assess and monitor all of the Bank’s principal risks in accordance with well-defined policies and procedures. These 
groups are completely independent of all business operations and coordinate with representatives of the business 
units to implement ICICI Bank’s risk management methodologies. The Internal Audit Group and Compliance Group are 
responsible to the Audit Committee of the Board.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a borrower is unable to meet its financial obligations to the lender. All credit risk related 
aspects are governed by a credit and recovery policy which outlines the type of products that can be offered, customer 
categories, targeted customer profile and the credit approval process and limits. The credit and recovery policy is 
approved by our Board of Directors.

In order to assess the credit risk associated with any corporate financing proposal, we assess a variety of risks relating 
to  the  borrower  and  the  relevant  industry.  We  have  a  structured  and  standardised  credit  approval  process  which 
includes a well established procedure of comprehensive credit appraisal and credit rating. We have developed internal 
credit  rating  methodologies  for  rating  obligors.  The  rating  factors  in  quantitative  and  qualitative  issues  and  credit 
enhancement features specific to the transaction. The rating serves as a key input in the approval as well as post-
approval credit processes. A risk based asset review framework has also been put in place wherein the frequency 
of  asset  review  would  be  higher  for  cases  with  higher  exposure  and/or  lower  credit  rating.  Industry  knowledge  is 
constantly updated through field visits and interactions with clients, regulatory bodies and industry experts. 

The Bank has a strong framework for the appraisal and execution of project finance transactions that involves a detailed 
evaluation of technical, commercial, financial, marketing and management factors and the sponsor’s financial strength 
and experience. The Bank identifies the project risks, mitigating factors and residual risks associated with the project. 
As a part of the due diligence process, the Bank appoints consultants, including technical advisors, business analysts, 
legal counsel and insurance consultants, wherever considered necessary, to advise the lenders. Risk mitigating factors 
in these financings include creation of debt service reserves and channelling project revenues through a trust and 
retention account. The Bank’s project finance loans are generally fully secured and have full recourse to the borrower. 
In some cases, the Bank also takes additional credit comforts such as corporate or personal guarantees from one or 
more sponsors of the project or a pledge of the sponsors’ equity holding in the project company. The Bank’s practice 
is to normally disburse funds after the entire project funding is committed and all necessary contractual arrangements 
have been entered into. 

In case of retail loans, sourcing and approval are segregated to achieve independence. The Credit Risk Management 
Group has oversight on the credit risk issues for retail assets including vetting of all credit policies/operating notes 
proposed  for  approval  by  the  Board  of  Directors  or  forums  authorised  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Credit  Risk 
Management Group is also involved in portfolio monitoring for all retail assets and suggesting/implementing policy 
changes. The Retail Credit and Policy Group is an independent unit which focuses on policy formulation and portfolio 
tracking and monitoring. In addition, we also have a Business Intelligence Unit to provide support for analytics, score 
card development and database management. Our Credit Administration Unit services various retail business units.

38

Our credit officers evaluate retail credit proposals on the basis of the product policy approved by the Committee of 
Executive  Directors  and  the  risk  assessment  criteria  defined  by  the  Credit  Risk  Management  Group.  These  criteria 
vary  across  product  segments  but  typically  include  factors  like  the  borrower’s  income,  the  loan-to-value  ratio  and 
demographic parameters. The technical valuations in case of residential mortgages are carried out by empanelled 
valuers or technical teams. External agencies such as field investigation agencies and credit processing agencies are 
used to facilitate a comprehensive due diligence process including visits to offices and homes in the case of loans 
to individual borrowers. Before disbursements are made, the credit officer checks a centralised delinquent database 
and reviews the borrower’s profile. In making our credit decisions, we also draw upon reports from credit information 
bureaus. We also use the services of certain fraud control agencies operating in India to check applications before 
disbursement.

In addition, the Credit and Treasury Middle Office Groups and the Operations Group monitor operational adherence to 
regulations, policies and internal approvals. We have centralised operations to manage operational risk in most back 
office processes of the Bank’s retail loan business. The Fraud Prevention Group manages fraud related risks through 
forensic audits and recovery of fraud losses. The segregation of responsibilities and oversight by groups external to 
the business groups ensure adequate checks and balances. 

Our  credit  approval  authorisation  framework  is  laid  down  by  our  Board  of  Directors.  We  have  established  several 
levels  of  credit  approval  authorities  for  our  corporate  banking  activities  like  the  Credit  Committee  of  the  Board  of 
Directors, the Committee of Executive Directors, the Committee of Senior Management, the Committee of Executives 
(Credit) and the Regional Committee (Credit). Retail Credit Forums, Small Enterprise Group Forums and Corporate 
Agriculture Group Forums have been created for approval of retail loans and credit facilities to small enterprises and 
agri based enterprises respectively. Individual executives have been delegated with powers in case of policy based 
retail products to approve financial assistance within the exposure limits set by our Board of Directors.

Market Risk

Market risk is the possibility of loss arising from changes in the value of a financial instrument as a result of changes 
in market variables such as interest rates, exchange rates and other asset prices. The prime source of market risk for 
the Bank is the interest rate risk we are exposed to as a financial intermediary. In addition to interest rate risk, we are 
exposed to other elements of market risk such as liquidity or funding risk, price risk on trading portfolios, exchange 
rate risk on foreign currency positions and credit spread risk. These risks are controlled through limits such as duration 
of equity, earnings at risk, value-at-risk, stop loss and liquidity gap limits. The limits are stipulated in our Investment 
Policy, ALM Policy and Derivatives Policy which are reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors.

The Asset Liability Management Committee, which comprises wholetime Directors and senior executives meets on 
a regular basis and reviews the trading positions, monitors interest rate and liquidity gap positions, formulates views 
on interest rates, sets benchmark lending and base rates and determines the asset liability management strategy in 
light of the current and expected business environment. The Market Risk Management Group recommends changes 
in risk policies and controls and the processes and methodologies for quantifying and assessing market risks. Risk 
limits including position limits and stop loss limits for the trading book are monitored on a daily basis by the Treasury 
Middle Office Group and reviewed periodically.

Foreign exchange risk is monitored through the net overnight open foreign exchange limit. Interest rate risk of the overall 
balance sheet is measured through the use of re-pricing gap analysis and duration analysis. Interest rate gap sensitivity 
gap limits have been set up in addition to limits on the duration of equity and earnings at risk. Risks on trading positions 
are monitored and managed by setting VaR limits and stipulating daily and cumulative stop-loss limits. 

The Bank uses various tools for measurement of liquidity risk including the statement of structural liquidity, dynamic 
liquidity  gap  statements,  liquidity  ratios  and  stress  testing.  We  maintain  diverse  sources  of  liquidity  to  facilitate 
flexibility in meeting funding requirements. Incremental operations in the domestic market are principally funded by 
accepting deposits from retail and corporate depositors. The deposits are augmented by borrowings in the short-term 
inter-bank market and through the issuance of bonds. Loan maturities and sale of investments also provide liquidity. 
Our international branches are primarily funded by debt capital market issuances, syndicated loans, bilateral loans and 
bank lines, while our international subsidiaries raise deposits in their local markets.

Business Overview

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from 
external events. It includes legal risk but excludes strategic and reputation risks. Operational risks in the Bank are 
managed through a comprehensive system of internal controls, systems and procedures to monitor transactions, 
key back-up procedures and undertaking regular contingency planning. The control framework is designed based 
on  categorisation  of  all  functions  into  front-office,  comprising  business  groups;  mid-office,  comprising  credit 
and treasury mid-offices; back-office, comprising operations; and corporate and support functions. ICICI Bank’s 
operational risk management governance and framework is defined in the Operational Risk Management Policy, 
approved by the Board of Directors. While the policy provides a broad framework, detailed standard operating 
procedures for operational risk management processes are established. The policy is applicable across the Bank 
including overseas branches and aims to ensure clear accountability, responsibility and mitigation of operational 
risk. We have constituted an Operational Risk Management Committee (ORMC) to oversee the operational risk 
management  in  the  Bank.  The  policy  specifies  the  composition,  roles  and  responsibilities  of  the  ORMC.  The 
framework comprises identification and assessment of risks and controls, new products and processes approval 
framework, measurement through incidents and exposure reporting, monitoring through key risk indicators and 
mitigation through process and control enhancement and insurance. We have formed an independent Operational 
Risk Management Group for design, implementation and enhancement of the operational risk framework and to 
support business and operation groups in the operational risk management on an on-going basis. 

TREaSURY
Our treasury operations are structured along the balance sheet management function, the client-related corporate 
markets business and the proprietary trading activity.

During  fiscal  2011,  financial  markets  remained  volatile.  The  government  bond  markets  witnessed  increase  in 
benchmark yields following the emergence of inflationary concerns and the tightening monetary policy stance 
which impacted our government securities portfolio. Further, since October 2010, equity markets continued to 
remain volatile with the NIFTY declining by nearly 17% from October to February which offset the equity capital 
gains made during the first part of the year. These factors had an adverse impact on the Bank’s proprietary trading 
gains. The Bank continued to focus on the corporate bonds segment to offset this impact, and remained among 
the top two arrangers according to the Prime database. In respect of primary issues for the private sector, the Bank 
was ranked first in league table rankings. Over the last year, the Bank strengthened its relationship with the top 10 
issuers and focused on increasing its distribution reach by adding over 300 provident fund trusts. The Bank also 
increased its geographical coverage through manpower addition at key locations. 

Our balance sheet management function continued to actively manage the government securities portfolio held 
for compliance with SLR norms to optimise the yield on this portfolio, while maintaining an appropriate portfolio 
duration given the interest rate environment. 

We provide foreign exchange and derivative products and services to our customers through our Markets Group. 
These products and services include foreign exchange products for hedging currency risk, foreign exchange and 
interest  rate  derivatives  like  options  and  swaps  and  bullion  transactions.  We  also  hedge  our  own  market  risks 
related to these products with banking counterparties.

HUMaN RESOURCES 
ICICI Bank seeks to nurture a mutually beneficial relationship with its employees.  This relationship is characterised 
by  the  investment  which  the  Bank  makes  in  its  employees  by  providing  challenging  roles  and  assignments, 
opportunities for personal growth, relevant and timely performance support, training and an enabling environment. 
The  Bank  seeks  to  create  a  workplace  which  combines  achievement  orientation  with  care  for  employees.  On 
January 5, our Founder’s Day, we formalised this employee value proposition through launch of the “Saath Aapka” 
campaign. Through Saath Aapka, the Bank has clearly and in a transparent manner articulated what employees 
can expect from the organisation. At the same time, the Bank has defined the desired competencies at various 

40

levels in the organization as “DNA anchors” which communicate to employees what the organisation expects from 
them. The key elements of the “Saath Aapka” proposition are: 

 • Opportunities for personal growth and learning for employees, as they work towards the organisation’s growth 

and success. 

 •

 •

 •

 •

An enabling work culture that facilitates the achievement of aspirational goals. 

A merit-oriented organisation, setting high performance standards and linking rewards to performance. 

Standing by employees in their hour of need just as employees go the extra mile for the organisation whenever 
there is a need for the same. 

A winning organisation that is conscious of its larger role in society and in nation building. 

During  the  year,  the  integration  of  Bank  of  Rajasthan  into  the  Bank  was  a  major  exercise  which  was  successfully 
completed. The integration process focused both on business as well as cultural integration. The people and cultural 
integration was achieved through well-planned communication of the Bank’s values and culture. The Bank reached 
out to all employees of Bank of Rajasthan and addressed their expectations and concerns. This was achieved through 
communication from the top management of the Bank, open house sessions jointly conducted by senior managers 
from Bank of Rajasthan and ICICI Bank and one-on-one sessions wherever required. Further, to align the skill sets of 
Bank of Rajasthan employees, special training programs were designed and conducted by the Bank.

To further augment the Bank’s efforts in providing best-in-class service to its  customers, the Bank has ensured that 
more experienced and seasoned employees are placed in leadership roles at branches. The Bank has also ensured 
that  the  average  banking  experience  and  vintage  of  customer  service  staff  at  branches  are  enhanced,  despite  an 
increase in the number of branches. The Bank also continued its efforts in training its branch staff and other employees 
to increase their banking related knowledge. Through an innovative programme called Skill Through Drill, our branch 
staff have been trained in service skills required to deliver the Khayaal Aapka promise to our customers. The Bank 
has  also  introduced  an  innovative  programme  called  the  Service  Assessor  Programme  wherein  our  staff  is  video-
recorded live and feedback on service behaviors is given. This year the Bank also introduced a rigorous evaluation 
and certification process for all employees in customer service roles to ensure employees engaged in servicing the 
customers have thorough knowledge of banking regulations, processes and product features.

INFORMaTION TECHNOLOgY
Our  information  technology  strategy  focuses  on  increasing  customer  convenience,  reducing  customer  complaints 
and  increasing  turnaround  and  resolution  timeframes.  During  the  year,  we  enhanced  customer  offerings  on  self-
service  channels,  such  as  value  added  services  through  ATMs,  new  mobile  application  for  smart  phones  and  a 
comprehensive online personal finance tool ”Money Manager”. We have also created facilities for customers to buy 
investment products, gold and foreign exchange through our online channel. Pursuant to the merger of the Bank of 
Rajasthan, we also enabled seamless transactions for the customers of Bank of Rajasthan in a short timeframe and 
combined the ATM and branch networks and technology infrastructure. To enable better customer service, our branch 
staff has been equipped with a comprehensive and single view of customer relationships. We have also enhanced our 
Interactive Voice Response system at our call centres to support regional Indian languages. 

In fiscal 2011, we retained focus on information security and deployed new systems for robust authentication and 
fraud  detection  for  on-line  customers.  A  comprehensive  network  access  control  solution  to  prevent  unauthorised 
entry into our networks was also implemented. We also continued to improve existing processes and capabilities. 
The  monitoring  of  electronic  devices  at  our  branches  was  also  centralised  to  enable  better  productivity  and  faster 
resolution times. We also built a state-of-the-art, high density, high availability data centre that is designed to flexibly 
handle  different  types  of  equipment.  It  has  also  been  designed  for  scalability  to  handle  our  future  requirements. 
Simultaneously, we have also implemented next generation system management tools which allow us to proactively 
monitor critical data centre and system parameters.

Promoting Inclusive Growth

1.  Background

For over five decades, the ICICI Group has partnered India in its economic growth and development. Promoting 
inclusive growth has been a priority area for the Group from both a social and business perspective. We strive 
to  make  a  difference  to  our  customers,  to  the  society  and  to  the  nation’s  development  directly  through  our 
products and services, as well as through our development initiatives and community outreach.

ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth 

ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth (ICICI Foundation) was founded by the ICICI Group in early 2008 to carry 
forward  and  build  upon  its  legacy  of  promoting  inclusive  growth.  ICICI  Foundation  works  with  government 
authorities and specialised grassroots organisations to support developmental work in identified focus areas. It 
is committed to investing in long-term efforts to support inclusive growth through effective interventions. The 
objective of the Foundation is articulated in its Mission Statement:

“To empower the poor to participate in and benefit from the Indian growth process through integrated action 
in the fields of primary health, elementary education, financial inclusion and sustainable livelihood. This will be 
achieved through active collaboration with the government and independent organisations.” 

Areas of focus: 

a)  Primary  health:  ICICI  Foundation  works  to  strengthen  public  health  delivery  systems  to  improve  the 
health of mothers and children in the poorest communities across India in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, 
Chattisgarh,  Odisha  and  Maharashtra.  It  strives  to  develop  solutions  to  enable  the  government  health 
systems to become more effective. Some of the key interventions in the field of primary health are:

i.  District  Health  Action  Plans:  In  Bihar,  ICICI  Foundation  has  worked  with  Public  Health  Resource 
Network and the National Health Systems Resource Centre to support preparation of District Health 
Action Plans for the entire state for the third consecutive year. These plans enable proper assessment 
of the healthcare required and the available resources so that the central government funding can be 
allocated on an informed basis and focussed actions can be undertaken. 

ii.  Nutrition Security Programme: This initiative aims to improve nutrition of children aged between six 
months and three years by enlisting and training the Mitanin (community health workers) to change 
dietary practices and attitudes in communities. The programme has been undertaken in partnership 
with the Chhattisgarh State Health Resource Centre in 23 blocks across 11 districts in Chhattisgarh. 9,000 
Mitanins were trained in nutrition related issues. The intervention has resulted in improved enrolments 
in the anganwadis for accessing healthcare and increase in the distribution of food supplements. The 
household feeding practices have also improved through addition of locally available nurtritious food 
to the diet.  

iii.  Maternal  Nutrition  Project:  ICICI  Foundation  supports  the  Mumbai  Maternal  Nutrition  Project,  a 
randomised controlled trial on mother and child health. The project is designed to empower women to 
independently improve their, as well as, their children’s nutrition. The project succeeded in achieving 
its  target  of  enrolling  more  than  a  1,000  pregnant  women  and  documenting  nearly  700  births.  The 
study tests the impact of enhancing micronutrient quality in women’s diets from before conception to 
delivery, by examining women’s health, foetal growth and their children’s development.  

iv.  State  Village  Health  Committee  and  Sahiyya  Resource  Centre:  Under  the  National  Rural  Health 
Mission  (NRHM),  Sahiyyas  (community  health  workers)  play  a  key  role  in  linking  their  communities 
with public health systems and act as agents for community mobilisation. The Jharkhand State Village 
Health Committee and Sahiyya Resource Centre was created through an innovative partnership with 
the  Jharkhand  state  government,  central  government  institutions  and  civil  society  organisations.  It 
facilitates  the  implementation  of  the  Sahiyya  and  Village  Health  Committee  programmes  under  the 
NRHM. The centre has till date trained nearly 41,000 Sahiyyas.

v.  Outpatient Health Care Project: ICICI Foundation is partnering with ICICI Lombard General Insurance 
Company to design, part fund and implement the delivery of India’s first outpatient healthcare product 
for  low  income  households.  The  project  will  offer  outpatient  insurance  and  will  complement  the 
Government  of  India’s  national  health  insurance  scheme  for  inpatient  care,  the  Rashtriya  Swasthya 
Bima Yojana (RSBY). To begin with, this insurance product will be offered through a pilot project in Puri 
district in Odisha and one district in Gujarat. 

b)  Elementary education: In the field of elementary education, ICICI Foundation seeks to improve the quality 
of  public  education  by  strengthening  the  state  and  district-level  institutional  bodies.  Some  of  the  key 
projects undertaken are:

i.  Quality Education Programme: The Quality Education Programme is a collaborative initiative of ICICI 
Foundation and its partner resource organisations – Digantar, Jaipur and Vidya Bhawan Society, Udaipur 
– that supports government efforts to improve the quality of elementary education in Rajasthan’s Baran 
district. The major objectives of the project were to strengthen Baran’s District Institute of Educational 
Training (DIET), work with the Sarva Shiksha Abhyan (SSA) team to provide adequate academic support 
in the district and support selected cluster resource centres to develop model schools. This initiative 
targeted 125 master trainers, 4,000 teachers from the 1,498 government schools and 144,971 students. 
The programme has helped in improvement in the quality of in-service training and classroom teaching 
practices. The teacher and student attendance has also improved in the schools that were part of the 
project.

ii.  Consultative  meeting  to  improve  quality  of  education:  ICICI  Foundation  organised  a  consultative 
meeting to share its work, emerging strategies and long-term plans with various stakeholders at India 
Habitat  Centre,  New  Delhi.  The  meeting  was  attended  by  the  Foundation’s  long-standing  partner 
organisations,  representatives  of  the  Central  Government  and  the  State  Governments  with  whom 
the  Foundation  works  or  has  plans  to  work,  and  independent  experts  and  resource  persons.  The 
deliberations helped ICICI Foundation in formulating its proposed state-wide interventions for quality 
improvement in school education in Rajasthan and Odisha.

iii.  State-wide programme for improvements in schools education and teacher training: In Odisha, ICICI 
Foundation in partnership with the Government of Odisha, plans to launch a programme to improve the 
practices of in-service (current teachers) and pre-service (trainee teachers) teacher training in the state. 
The programme will build the professional capacity of teachers and educators, as well as strengthen 
the  state’s  teacher  performance  management  mechanism.  ICICI  Foundation  will  work  with  the  state 
education functionaries to facilitate reforms in line with 2005 National Curriculum Framework, including 
updating curricula, developing teacher training material and designing research and academic support 
material. The scope of this programme will cover the training of 300 master trainers who will train 4,500 
teacher trainers who in turn will train 100,000 in-service teachers and 10,000 pre-service teachers.

In  Rajasthan,  based  on  the  success  of  its  Quality  Education  Programme,  ICICI  Foundation  has  been 
invited  by  the  Government  of  Rajasthan  to  work  with  the  State  Institute  of  Education  Research  and 
Training  (SIERT),  to  revamp  the  state’s  teacher  training  curriculum.  The  proposed  project  seeks  to 
revise  the  pre-service  teacher  training  curriculum,  build  professional  capacity  of  teacher  educators, 
including the SIERT and DIET faculty and strengthen and improve co-ordination amongst the multi-tier 
academic support structure. The programme will also develop one block (in one intervention district) 
as an e-learning hub for supplementing in-service teachers’ training and work on development of all 
schools  in  two  blocks  in  two  districts    so  that  the  schools  can  become  compliant  with  the  Right  to 
Education  Act.  The  overall  goal  is  to  train  500  master  trainers,  80-100  nodal  head  masters,  20,000 
student teachers, 250 key resource persons and 210,000 in-service teachers, which will impact about 8 
million students across the state.

Promoting Inclusive Growth

c)  Access to finance: ICICI Foundation facilitates financial inclusion by supporting the development of new 
models  for  delivering  financial  services  viz.  credit,  savings,  remittance  and  insurance  to  low-income 
households. In addition to the ICICI Group’s direct work in the area of financial inclusion, ICICI Foundation 
partners  with  ICICI  Group  companies  to  provide  greater  access  to,  and  create  awareness  of  finance  in 
communities where it has established health and education programmes.  

d)  Sustainable  livelihoods:  ICICI  Foundation  has  broadened  the  scope  of  its  work  to  include  sustainable 
livelihoods  in  order  to  address  the  urgent  need  for  adequate  training  for  rural  youth.  Skill  development 
training for the youth, particularly those below the poverty line, is required in order to make them employable 
or equip them to become entrepreneurs. The Foundation has taken up the mandate to strengthen two Rural 
Self-Employment  Training  Institutes  (RSETIs)  in  Udaipur  and  Jodhpur  engaged  in  providing  training  for 
skill development. The Foundation will focus on providing training that is culturally relevant and locally in 
demand, and where the input costs are low whereas the returns are relatively high and self-sustaining. It 
will also facilitate supply chain, credit and marketing linkages, impart basic financial training and provide 
placement support. 

3.  Serving communities in partnership with civil society

Besides  grassroot  level  interventions  undertaken  by  ICICI  Foundation  as  mentioned  above,  the  ICICI  Group 
companies also undertake certain other projects for the benefit of society, alongwith ICICI Foundation. These 
include:

a)  Read  to  Lead  –  Phase  II:  In  Phase  II  of  the  Read  to  Lead  programme,  ICICI  Bank  has  supported  the 
establishment of 63 libraries that will reach out to approximately 7,200 children in the rural areas of the 
Jagdalpur  block  of  Bastar  district  in  Chhattisgarh.  The  programme  includes  building  libraries,  sourcing 
books and conducting various interactive activities to make the library a dynamic centre for learning. 

b) 

ICICI Fellows: The ICICI Fellows programme, launched in November 2009, aims to create a cadre of socially 
responsible  leaders  for  India.  The  two-year  programme  includes  experiential  learning  in  rural  or  semi-
urban India, as well as management training and leadership development through personalised coaching 
and  mentorship.  The  first  batch  joined  in  August  2010  and  are  currently  gaining  first  hand  experience 
through working with the partner NGOs.  

c)  Healthy Lokshakti: Through this initiative, ICICI Lombard works towards improving the health of mothers 
and children (0-1 year) in Trimbak and Peint tribal blocks of Maharashtra, in partnership with government 
healthcare systems. In order to reduce neo-natal and child mortality, it works to ensure that women receive 
good healthcare during and after their pregnancy and medical assistance during delivery. 

d)  Muktangan Education Initiative: ICICI Securities supports the Mumbai-based NGO Doorstep School which 
enriches  the  schooling  experience  of  1,265  socio-economically  disadvantaged  children  and  supports 
enrollment  and  sustenance  through  activities  such  as  reading  promotion,  study  class,  mental  health 
support and extracurricular activities. ICICI Securities also continues to support the Muktangan Education 
Initiative,  a  partnership  between  the  Paragon  Charitable  Trust  and  the  Municipal  Corporation  of  Greater 
Mumbai. Muktangan seeks to provide affordable, community-based inclusive education to underprivileged 
children.

e)  Payroll giving: Since 2003, ICICI Bank has facilitated employee donations to social causes through GiveIndia. 

Close to 6,000 employees participate in the payroll-giving programme.  

f) 

Employee  volunteering:  The  “Changemakers”  programme  enables  employees  to  contribute  their  time 
and  talent  for  social  change.  “ChangeMakers”  at  one  of  the  teams  of  ICICI  Bank  delivered  employability 
and life-skills sessions to underprivileged youth enrolled in vocational training at Kherwadi Social Welfare 
Association, an NGO.

g)  Blood  donation:  In  order  to  reduce  the  blood  shortage  in  India,  ICICI  Foundation  organised  a  blood 
donation camp at ICICI Bank Towers in Mumbai together with State Blood Transfusion Council (SBTC), the 
autonomous regulatory authority for blood banks in Maharashtra set up under the Ministry of Health. The 
camp  received  an  overwhelming  response  from  the  employees  and  the  blood  donated  went  to  SBTC’s 
premiere  blood  bank,  Mahanagar  Rakthpedhi  (MR).  MR  provides  safe  blood  and  its  components  at  the 
least  expensive  price  in  Mumbai.  This  makes  blood  more  accessible  to  people  from  all  socio-economic 
backgrounds.    MR  also  regularly  provides  blood  for  free  to  150  children  with  thalesemia  and  sickle  cell 
disease. SBTC issues every a donor card that makes them eligible for one free unit of blood in the state 
within the next two years. The blood donation drive will now be extended across all offices of the ICICI 
Group in India.

h)  Speak for Smiles: Together with Toofles Foundation and CNBC-TV18, Speak for Smiles, an initiative where 
young students get an opportunity to interact with business leaders and learn from their experiences was 
launched. The events are aired on CNBC-TV18 and the proceeds generated by way of contribution from 
ICICI Foundation are donated to an NGO, nominated by the leaders.

Improving access to financial services

ICICI Bank has partnered with Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for a pilot in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand. 
Under this pilot, enrollment and opening of Aadhar enabled bank accounts was undertaken and the testing of 
transactions has been successfully completed. ICICI Bank and ICICI Foundation participated in RBI’s outreach 
programme  at  Doba  village  in  Jharkhand’s  Lohardagga  district.  The  outreach  programme  sought  to  raise 
awareness about financial inclusion and banking opportunities available to people in rural areas. ICICI Bank has 
formulated a financial literacy programme that educates customers on the basics of finance. The Bank conducted 
finance-themed street plays in Jharkhand and will extend the programme to other parts of the country. ICICI 
Bank has also been chosen by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as one of the five international banks for 
their “Gateway Financial Innovation for Savings” project to promote useful savings behaviour by poor.

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company (ICICI Life) provides micro-insurance to India’s low-income population, 
as a part of a socially responsible business model. Its micro insurance product for people in rural areas, Sarv 
Jana Suraksha, provides insurance for a minimal premium of only ` 50 per annum. ICICI Life has successfully 
piloted a unique poverty-alleviation project in collaboration with the Micro Insurance Innovation Facility of the 
International Labour Organization. The  project  reaches  out  to  the  tea  workers  in  Assam.  ICICI  Prudential Life 
has also set up and nurtured a Community Video Unit, JAWA at Dimakusi in Assam with Video Volunteer, an 
NGO. The unit produced videos, conducted several screenings, campaigns and street plays, which educated 
2,000 households on preventive measures against malaria, educated 45,000 workers on financial savings and 
trained 45 tea workers on financial literacy who then conducted ten mass awareness campaigns covering 10,000 
workers.  

ICICI  Lombard  General  Insurance  Company  (ICICI  General)  has  partnered  with  several  central  and  state 
government  ministries/agencies  to  offer  insurance  coverage  under  various  schemes  of  the  government. 
Under  the  Rashtriya  Swasthya  Bima  Yojana  (RSBY),  below  poverty  line  workers  in  the  unorganized 
sector  in  Uttar  Pradesh,  Bihar,  Odisha,  Gujarat,  Maharashtra,  Haryana  and  Punjab  have  been  covered 
for  health  insurance.  Biometric  smart  cards  issued  to  each  family  capture  biometric  details  of  the  family 
and  the  beneficiaries  can  check  the  balance  sum  insured,  family  details,  policy  details  and  coverage  at 
any  time  during  the  policy  period.  ICICI  General  has  also  provided  a  unique  health  insurance  product 
for  weavers  and  their  families.  Over  1.6  million  families  have  been  covered  through  this  scheme.  
A special policy to provide health insurance to women involved in silkworm cultivation and their families is also 
operational. ICICI General is also working with a number of financial intermediaries to deliver weather insurance 
solutions  for  farmers  through  Weather  Based  Crop  Insurance  Scheme  (WBCIS).  Till  date,  ICICI  General  has 
insured close to 2.8 million hectares of land and 28 crop varieties through the WBCIS product.

5.  Clean technology initiatives

ICICI Bank’s Technology Finance Group (TFG) implements multilateral programmes on behalf of the Government 
of  India  in  the  areas  of  collaborative  research  and  development,  energy,  environment  and  healthcare.  TFG’s 
initiatives  include  efforts  to  attract  and  channel  private  financing  into  cleaner  technologies,  to  create  public-
private partnerships to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency and to promote sustainable 
development.  

TFG assisted the introduction of environmental management codes (ISO 14000) in India. It supported clean coal 
concepts like coal washeries and coal bed methane for the first time in India. TFG supported the development 
of the first electric passenger car in India, currently being exported to several countries. It also supported the 
introduction  of  municipal  shared  savings  concept  through  the  energy  service  company  (ESCO)  route,  which 
help save expenditure for street lighting and water pumping. Another significant initiative was the introduction 
of  green  ratings  for  buildings  (which  helps  save  energy,  water  and  emissions)  through  the  establishment  of 
Confederation of Indian Industry’s Green Business Centre. 

In  fiscal  2011,  TFG  in  collaboration  with  leading  institutes,  has  assisted  various  projects  in  the  areas  of  solar 
energy, nuclear energy and drug discovery. This includes assistance to The Energy Resource Institute (TERI) for 
its project to build capacities of select laboratories for promoting sustainable development in energy efficiency. 
The  laboratories  would  be  equipped  with  capabilities  for  developing  biomass  energy  systems,  decentralised 
electricity solutions, waste material characterisation and solar power systems. The laboratories will also promote 
energy efficiency in the industry through various means including certification of solar lighting products.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The  Bank’s  financial  condition,  loan  portfolio  and  results  of  operations  have  been  and  are  in  the  future  expected 
to  be  influenced  by  economic  and  financial  conditions  in  India  as  well  as  globally,  developments  affecting  the 
business activities of our corporate customers including increase in international commodity prices and regulatory 
developments in the financial sector. 

During fiscal 2011, the recovery in economic activity witnessed in fiscal 2010 was sustained. Gross Domestic Product 
(GDP) increased by 8.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2011, compared to a growth of 7.4% in the corresponding 
period of fiscal 2010. In addition, growth was fairly broad-based across the agriculture, industry and services sectors. 
Growth in the agriculture sector recovered to 5.7% during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to 0.2% in 
the corresponding period of fiscal 2010. The services sector continued to grow at over 9.0% during the year. Industrial 
growth remained strong during the first half of fiscal 2011 with the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recording an 
average growth of over 10.0%. However, there was some moderation during the subsequent months, partly due to an 
adverse base effect. During April 2010 to February 2011, total exports increased by 31.4% on a year-on-year basis. In 
view of the continued momentum in economic activity, the Central Statistical Organisation has estimated GDP to grow 
by 8.6% in fiscal 2011 compared to a growth of 8.0% in fiscal 2010. 

Inflationary pressures continued to persist through fiscal 2011, with an increase in the latter part of the fiscal year due to 
higher than anticipated rise in food and oil prices. Inflation, measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), after declining 
from a high of 11.0% in April 2010 to about 8.1% in November 2010 continued to remain at elevated levels of about 
8.0% for the remaining part of the fiscal year. Inflationary pressures, though largely emanating from food and fuel prices, 
became broad based as manufactured products inflation showed an increase from February 2011. In view of the above, 
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) continued its policy tightening and liquidity management stance. During fiscal 2011, the 
cash reserve ratio (CRR) was increased by 25 basis points from 5.75% to 6.00%, the repo rate by 175 basis points from 
5.00% to 6.75%, and the reverse repo rate by 225 basis points from 3.50% to 5.75%. In its annual policy statement for 
fiscal 2012, RBI further increased the repo rate by 50 basis points to 7.25% and set the reverse repo rate at 1.0% below 
the repo rate. In addition, during certain periods, liquidity was also impacted by events such as the auction of telecom 
spectrum and lower than anticipated government spending. Liquidity in the system continued to remain in deficit for a 
large part of fiscal 2011, particularly in the second half of the fiscal year. Banks remained net borrowers from RBI under 
the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) with average borrowings of about ` 640.00 billion on a daily basis between June 
1, 2010 and March 31, 2011. The yields on 10 year government securities increased by about 17 basis points to 7.99% at  
March 31, 2011 as compared to 7.82% at March 31, 2010. During the latter part of fiscal 2011, RBI initiated several 
measures to ease systemic liquidity including decreasing the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) by 100 basis points from 
25.0%  to  24.0%  in  December  2010,  providing  additional  liquidity  support  under  the  LAF  window,  operation  of  a 
second LAF on a daily basis, and open market operations for purchase of government securities. 

In response to tight systemic liquidity and the rising interest rate environment, scheduled commercial banks increased 
their deposit rates for various maturities by 75-250 basis points between April 2010 and January 2011. The impact 
of rising cost of funds for banks was also reflected in lending rates with banks increasing their base rates by 95-165 
basis points during the year. Banking system credit growth, after remaining subdued during fiscal 2010 recovered in 
fiscal 2011, following the improvement in economic activity. Non-food credit growth was 21.2% at March 25, 2011 
on a year-on-year basis, compared to 17.1% at March 26, 2010. Based on sector-wise data, growth in non-food credit 
on a year-on-year basis till February 25, 2011 was 22.8%, which was largely driven by growth in credit to industry at 
26.5% and to the services sector at 24.2%. Within industry, loans to the infrastructure sector increased by 39.7% led 
by power and telecommunications. During the year, there was also some recovery in growth in the personal loans 
segment with a year-on-year increase of 16.2% at February 25, 2011. However, deposit growth lagged credit growth 
in the system with total deposits increasing by 15.8% on a year-on-year basis at March 25, 2011 compared to 17.2% 
at March 26, 2010. The slower growth in deposits was largely due to the decline in demand deposits by 1% on a year-
on-year basis at March 25, 2011 as compared to a growth of 23.4% at March 26, 2010.

Equity markets, while appreciating during fiscal 2011, continued to remain volatile as various events such as increased 
inflationary  concerns,  the  European  sovereign  debt  crisis  and  political  events  in  the  Middle  East  and  North  Africa 
impacted investor sentiments. On an overall basis, the benchmark equity index, the BSE Sensex, increased by 10.9% 
from 17,528 at March 31, 2010 to 19,445 at March 31, 2011. Foreign institutional investment flows into India continued 
to remain strong during the first ten months of the year before declining significantly during the last quarter of fiscal 
2011. In addition, continued revival in external trade contributed to a surplus of US$ 11.0 billion in India’s balance of 

Annual Report 2010-2011    49

payments during the nine months of fiscal 2011. The rupee appreciated by 1.1% against the US dollar from ` 45.14 per 
US dollar at March 31, 2010 to ` 44.65 per US dollar at March 31, 2011.

Tight liquidity and the rising interest rate environment combined with the impact of regulatory changes, led to lower 
mobilisation under savings and investment products during fiscal 2011. First year retail premium underwritten in the 
life insurance sector decreased by 8.5% (on weighted received premium basis) to ` 503.68 billion in fiscal 2011 from 
`  550.24  billion  in  fiscal  2010.  The  average  assets  under  management  of  mutual  funds  decreased  by  6.3%  from  ` 
7,475.25 billion in March 2010 to ` 7,005.38 billion in March 2011. However, gross premium of the non-life insurance 
sector (excluding specialised insurance institutions) grew by 21.7% to ` 425.69 billion in fiscal 2011.

There were a number of key regulatory developments in the Indian financial sector during fiscal 2011:

 •

 •

 •

 •

 •

 •

 •

 •

In December 2010, RBI imposed a regulatory ceiling on the loan-to-value ratio in respect of housing loans at 80%. 
However, small value loans of less than ` 2.0 million were permitted to have a loan to value ratio not exceeding 
90%. Further, the risk weight for residential loans of ` 7.5 million and above was set at 125% irrespective of the 
loan to value ratio, as against the earlier mandated 100% for a loan to value ratio of above 75%. With respect to 
loans outstanding under special housing loan products with lower interest rates in initial years, the standard asset 
provisioning was increased from 0.4% to 2.0%.

In  February  2011,  RBI  issued  guidelines  declassifying  loans  sanctioned  to  non-banking  finance  companies 
(NBFCs) for on-lending to individuals and entities against gold jewellery as direct agriculture lending under priority 
sector requirements. Similarly, investments made by banks in securitised assets originated by NBFCs, where the 
underlying assets were loans against gold jewellery and purchase/assignment of gold loan portfolio from NBFCs 
were also made ineligible for classification under agriculture sector lending.

RBI advised banks to henceforth not issue Tier-1 and Tier-2 capital instruments with step-up options so that these 
instruments remain eligible for inclusion in the new definition of regulatory capital under the Basel III framework.

In the Union Budget for fiscal 2012, the government enhanced priority sector eligibility ceiling for housing loans for 
dwelling units from ` 2.0 million to ` 2.5 million.

In  May  2010,  RBI  permitted  infrastructure  NBFCs  to  avail  of  external  commercial  borrowings  for  on-lending  to 
the infrastructure sector. Further, in July 2010, guidelines were issued to permit take-out financing arrangement 
through the external commercial borrowing route for refinancing of rupee loans availed for financing infrastructure 
projects particularly in the areas of seaports, airports, roads and power. In the Union Budget for fiscal 2012, the 
limit for investment by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) in corporate bonds with residual maturity of over five 
years issued by companies in infrastructure sector, was raised by US$ 20 billion, taking the limit to US$ 25 billion. 
Further, it was also proposed to create special vehicles in the form of notified infrastructure debt funds with lower 
withholding tax on their interest payments and tax exemptions on their incomes. 

In August 2010, the RBI issued a discussion paper on entry of new banks in the private sector. In January 2011, RBI 
also released a discussion paper on the presence of foreign banks in India.

In June 2010, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) introduced revisions to the regulations 
governing  unit  linked  insurance  products  such  as  increase  in  the  lock-in  period  from  three  years  to  five  years, 
increase in minimum mortality cover, cap on surrender and other charges and minimum guaranteed return on 
pension annuity products.

In  March  2011,  IRDA  conducted  an  audit  of  the  third  party  motor  insurance  pool  and  concluded  that  the  
pool  reserves  needed  to  be  enhanced  significantly.  Accordingly,  IRDA  stipulated  that  all  general  insurance 
companies  should  increase  these  reserves  based  on  a  provisional  loss  ratio  of  153%  for  the  pool  for  all  years 
commencing from the year ended March 31, 2008, with the final loss ratio to be determined through a further 
review in fiscal 2012. 

Introduction of Base Rate system

Historically, interest rates on loans extended by banks were linked to the prime lending rate (PLR) of each bank. With 
effect from July 1, 2010, RBI implemented a new base rate mechanism, requiring each bank to set and publicly disclose 
its minimum rate or “Base Rate” for all new loans and advances and renewal of existing facilities, subject to certain 
limited exceptions. While existing loans based on the Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) system would continue 

50

to  be  linked  to  BPLR  till  their  maturity,  the  existing  borrowers  have  an  option  to  migrate  to  the  Base  Rate  system 
before the expiry of existing contracts on mutually agreed terms. Except certain categories of loans as specified by 
RBI, banks are not allowed to lend below the Base Rate. Under the regulation, banks must review their base rates at 
least once every quarter.

The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank at its meeting on June 30, 2010, set the Base Rate of 
ICICI Bank, called “I-Base”, at 7.50% p.a. with effect from July 1, 2010. I-Base was increased by 175 basis points, in 
four phases, the last such increase being to 9.25% p.a. with effect from May 7, 2011.

Change in Methodology for Computing Interest Payable on Savings Deposits 

RBI had prescribed an interest rate of 3.50% on savings deposits and upto March 31, 2010 banks were required to pay 
this interest on the minimum outstanding balance in a savings deposit account between the tenth day and the end of 
the month. Effective April 1, 2010, RBI changed the methodology of computation of the interest payable and banks 
were required to pay interest on the daily average balance maintained in a savings deposit account. The change in 
methodology resulted in increase in cost of savings account deposits for banks. RBI has increased the interest rate on 
savings account deposits to 4.00% with effect from May 3, 2011.

Amalgamation of The Bank of Rajasthan

On May 23, 2010, the Board of Directors of ICICI Bank and the Board of Directors of The Bank of Rajasthan Limited 
(Bank  of  Rajasthan),  an  old  private  sector  bank,  at  their  respective  meetings  approved  an  all-stock  amalgamation 
of Bank of Rajasthan with ICICI Bank at a share exchange ratio of 25 shares of ICICI Bank for 118 shares of Bank of 
Rajasthan.  The  shareholders  of  ICICI  Bank  and  Bank  of  Rajasthan  approved  the  scheme  of  amalgamation  at  their 
respective  extra-ordinary  general  meetings.  RBI  approved  the  scheme  of  amalgamation  with  effect  from  close  of 
business on August 12, 2010.

We have issued 31.3 million shares in August 2010 and 2.9 million shares in November 2010 to shareholders of Bank 
of Rajasthan. The total assets of Bank of Rajasthan represented 4.0% of total assets of ICICI Bank at August 12, 2010. 
At August 12, 2010, Bank of Rajasthan had total assets of ` 155.96 billion, deposits of ` 134.83 billion, loans of ` 65.28 
billion and investments of ` 70.96 billion. It incurred a loss of ` 1.02 billion in fiscal 2010. The results for fiscal 2011 
include results of Bank of Rajasthan for the period from August 13, 2010 to March 31, 2011. The assets and liabilities of 
Bank of Rajasthan have been accounted at the values at which they were appearing in the books of Bank of Rajasthan 
at August 12, 2010 and provisions were made for the difference between the book values appearing in the books of 
Bank of Rajasthan and the fair value as determined by ICICI Bank.

The amalgamation was part of our strategy to expand our branch network with a view to growing our deposit base. 
We believe that the combination of Bank of Rajasthan’s branch franchise with our strong capital base would enhance 
the ability of the combined entity to capitalise on the growth opportunities in the Indian economy.

STANDALONE FINANCIALS AS PER INDIAN GAAP
Summary

During fiscal 2011, we focused on leveraging our rebalanced funding mix and strong capital position to grow our loan 
portfolio, while substantially reducing our provisions for loan losses to improve our profitability.

Our profit after tax increased by 28.0% from ` 40.25 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 51.51 billion in fiscal 2011. The increase 
in profit after tax was mainly due to a 47.9% decrease in provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) 
from ` 43.87 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 22.87 billion in the fiscal 2011. The decrease in provisions and contingencies 
(excluding  provisions  for  tax)  was  primarily  due  to  a  reduction  in  provisions  for  retail  non-performing  loans,  as 
accretion to retail non-performing loans declined sharply in fiscal 2011. Net interest income increased by 11.1% from 
` 81.14 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 90.17 billion in fiscal 2011.

The  decrease  in  provisions  and  contingencies  and  increase  in  net  interest  income  was  partly  offset  by  an  11.1% 
decrease in non-interest income from ` 74.78 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 66.48 billion in fiscal 2011. The decrease in 
non-interest income was primarily due to a decrease in income from treasury-related activities by ` 13.96 billion from 
a gain of ` 11.81 billion in fiscal 2010 to a loss of ` 2.15 billion in fiscal 2011. The higher income from treasury-related 
activities in fiscal 2010 included reversal of provision against credit derivatives due to softening of credit spreads and

higher realised profit on government securities and other fixed income positions. Fee income increased by 13.6% from 
` 56.50 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 64.19 billion in fiscal 2011.

In fiscal 2011, non-interest expenses increased by 12.9% from ` 58.60 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 66.17 billion in fiscal 2011 
primarily due to an increase in employee expenses partly offset by a decrease in other administrative expenses.

Total assets increased by 11.8% from ` 3,634.00 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 4,062.34 billion at March 31, 2011. Total 
deposits increased by 11.7% from ` 2,020.17 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 2,256.02 billion at March 31, 2011. Current 
and savings account (CASA) deposits increased by 20.7% from ` 842.16 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 1,016.47 billion at  
March 31, 2011 while term deposits increased marginally from ` 1,178.01 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 1,239.55 billion 
at March 31, 2011. The ratio of CASA deposits to total deposits increased from 41.7% at March 31, 2010 to 45.1% at  
March 31, 2011. Total advances increased by 19.4% from ` 1,812.06 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 2,163.66 billion at  
March 31, 2011 primarily due to an increase in domestic corporate loans, overseas corporate loans and loans taken 
over from Bank of Rajasthan. Net non-performing assets decreased by 37.0% from ` 39.01 billion at March 31, 2010 
to ` 24.58 billion at March 31, 2011 and the net non-performing asset ratio decreased from 1.9% at March 31, 2010 to 
0.9% at March 31, 2011.

We continued to expand our branch network in India. Our branch network in India increased from 1,707 branches and 
extension counters at March 31, 2010 to 2,529 branches and extension counters at March 31, 2011. We also increased 
our ATM network from 5,219 ATMs at March 31, 2010 to 6,104 ATMs at March 31, 2011. These include branches and 
ATMs of Bank of Rajasthan. 

The  total  capital  adequacy  ratio  of  ICICI  Bank  on  a  standalone  basis  at  March  31,  2011  in  accordance  with  the  RBI 
guidelines on Basel II was 19.5% with a tier I capital adequacy ratio of 13.2% compared to a total capital adequacy of 
19.4% and tier I capital adequacy of 14.0% at March 31, 2010.

Net interest income increased by 11.1% from ` 81.14 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 90.17 billion in fiscal 2011 reflecting 
an increase in net interest margin from 2.5% in fiscal 2010 to 2.6% in fiscal 2011 and a 4.9% increase in the average 
volume of interest-earning assets. 

Net interest margin increased from 2.5% in fiscal 2010 to 2.6% in fiscal 2011 primarily due to a decrease in cost of 
deposits from 5.8% in fiscal 2010 to 4.9% in fiscal 2011, offset, in part by decrease in yield on interest-earning assets 
from 7.9% in fiscal 2010 to 7.6% in fiscal 2011.

Yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 7.9% in fiscal 2010 to 7.6% in fiscal 2011 primarily due to a decrease 
in yield on advances. The decrease in yield on advances was primarily due to a decrease in the proportion of the high-
yielding unsecured retail portfolio in total advances and decrease in yield on domestic non-retail advances reflecting 
the declining trend in interest rates during fiscal 2010 which continued in the first half of fiscal 2011.

Yield  on  average  interest-earning  investments  increased  to  6.4%  in  fiscal  2011  compared  to  6.2%  in  fiscal  2010 
primarily due to an increase in yield on average interest-earning non-SLR investments, offset, in part, by a marginal 
decrease in yield on average SLR investments. The yield on average interest-earning non-SLR investments increased 
from 5.8% in fiscal 2010 to 6.6% in fiscal 2011, primarily due to an increase in investment in higher-yielding credit 
substitutes like corporate bonds and debentures, certificate of deposits and commercial paper.

Interest income also includes interest on income tax refund of ` 1.65 billion in fiscal 2011 compared to ` 1.21 billion in 
fiscal 2010. The receipt, amount and timing of such income depends on the nature and timing of determinations by tax 
authorities and is not consistent or predictable.

RBI increased the CRR by 75 basis points to 5.75% in February 2010 and further by 25 basis points to 6.00% effective 
April 24, 2010. As CRR balances do not earn any interest income, these increases had a negative impact on yield on 
interest-earning assets in fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2011, interest income was also impacted by losses on securitised 
pools of assets (including credit losses on pools securitised in earlier years) of ` 5.49 billion as compared to ` 5.09 
billion in fiscal 2010. 

The  cost  of  funds  decreased  from  5.8%  in  fiscal  2010  to  5.4%  in  fiscal  2011  primarily  due  to  decrease  in  cost  of 
deposits, offset, in part by an increase in cost of borrowings. 

The decrease in cost of deposits in fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010 was due to the higher proportion of low-
cost  current  and  savings  deposits  and  reduction  in  cost  of  term  deposits.  The  proportion  of  current  and  savings 
accounts  deposits  to  total  deposits  increased  from  41.7%  at  March  31,  2010  to  45.1%  at  March  31,  2011.  Cost  of 
term deposits decreased from 7.7% in fiscal 2010 to 6.5% in fiscal 2011. The cost of savings deposits increased due 
to RBI guidelines requiring banks to pay interest on the daily average balances in savings account deposits. Cost of 
borrowings increased from 5.6% in fiscal 2010 to 6.1% in fiscal 2011 primarily on account of an increase in cost of call 
and term borrowings and bond borrowings.

Interest rates moved up significantly during fiscal 2011, especially in the second half of the year. In response to tight 
systemic liquidity and the rising interest rate environment, scheduled commercial banks increased their deposit rates 
for various maturities. The full impact of increase in deposit rates will reflect in fiscal 2012. The increase in deposit rates 
also reflected in an increase in lending rates in the banking system. During the year, we increased the base rate (I-Base) 
from 7.50% at July 1, 2010 to 8.75% at March 31, 2011 and further to 9.25%, with effect from May 7, 2011.

The average volume of interest-earning assets increased by 4.9% from ` 3,259.66 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 3,418.59 
billion in fiscal 2011. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily on account of an increase in average 
interest-earning investments by ` 191.37 billion.

Average interest-earning investments increased by 18.3% from ` 1,046.05 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 1,237.42 billion 
in fiscal 2011, primarily due to an increase in average interest-earning non-SLR investments by 45.4% from ` 313.21 
billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 455.34 billion in fiscal 2011. Average SLR investments increased by 6.7% from ` 732.84 billion 
in fiscal 2010 to ` 782.07 billion in fiscal 2011. Interest-earning non-SLR investments primarily include investments in 
corporate bonds and debentures, certificates of deposits, commercial paper, Rural Infrastructure Development Fund 
(RIDF) and other related investments and investments in liquid mutual funds to deploy excess liquidity. 

Average advances increased marginally from ` 1,915.39 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 1,926.52 billion in fiscal 2011 which 
includes  advances  taken  over  from  Bank  of  Rajasthan.  Retail  advances  increased  by  5.8%  from  `  790.62  billion  at 
March  31,  2010  to  `  836.75  billion  at  March  31,  2011.  In  US  dollar  terms,  the  net  advances  of  overseas  branches 
increased by 22.8% from US$ 10.1 billion at March 31, 2010 to US$ 12.4 billion at March 31, 2011. In rupee terms, the 
net advances of overseas branches increased by 22.1% from ` 451.37 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 550.97 billion at 
March 31, 2011.

Average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  by  3.7%  from  `  3,054.87  billion  in  fiscal  2010  to  `  3,168.26  billion  in 
fiscal 2011 on account of increase of ` 75.44 billion in average deposits and an increase of ` 37.96 billion in average 
borrowings. The increase in average deposits was primarily due to increase in average CASA deposits. The ratio of 
average CASA deposits to average deposits increased from about 32.5% in fiscal 2010 to about 39.1% in fiscal 2011. 
The increase in average borrowings was due to an increase in average capital eligible borrowings, in the nature of 
subordinated debt, by ` 64.66 billion.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Non-interest income primarily includes fee and commission income, income from treasury-related activities and lease 
and other income. During fiscal 2011, the decrease in non-interest income was primarily on account of a decrease in 
income from treasury-related activities. During fiscal 2011, there was an increase in fee income and income by way of 
dividends included in lease and other income. Overall there was a net decrease in non-interest income by 11.1% from 
` 74.78 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 66.48 billion in fiscal 2011.

Fee income

Fee income primarily includes fees from corporate clients such as loan processing fees, transaction banking fees and 
structuring fees and fees from retail customers such as loan processing fees, fees from credit cards business, account 
service charges and third party referral fees. Fee income increased from ` 56.50 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 64.19 billion 
in  fiscal  2011  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  corporate  fees,  offset,  in  part,  by  decline  in  retail  fees.  Higher  credit 
demand and increased business activity in the corporate sector due to economic recovery resulted in an increase in 
loan processing fees and transaction banking related fees from corporate clients.

Income  from  foreign  exchange  transactions  with  clients  and  from  margins  on  derivatives  transactions  with  clients 
increased by 17.3% from ` 6.78 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 7.95 billion in fiscal 2011.

Profit/(loss) on treasury-related activities (net)

Income  from  treasury-related  activities  includes  income  from  sale  of  investments  and  revaluation  of  investments 
on account of changes in unrealised profit/(loss) in the fixed income, equity and preference share portfolio, units of 
venture funds and security receipts. 

Profit on treasury-related activities decreased from a gain of ` 11.81 billion in fiscal 2010 to a loss of ` 2.15 billion in 
fiscal 2011. Treasury income for fiscal 2011 primarily includes loss on investments in government of India securities 
and loss on security receipts, offset, in part, by gains on equity investments. The higher income from treasury-related 
activities  in  fiscal  2010  included  reversal  of  provision  against  credit  derivatives  due  to  softening  of  credit  spreads, 
higher profit on government of India securities and other fixed income instruments and in equity investments offset, 
in part, by a loss on mark-to-market/realised loss on security receipts.

During fiscal 2010, we had capitalised on certain market opportunities to realise gains from sale of our government 
and other domestic fixed income positions. During fiscal 2011, the government securities portfolio was impacted by 
increase in interest rates which resulted in a loss for fiscal 2011 as compared to gains in fiscal 2010.

The equity markets remained volatile due to global and domestic developments including the political unrest in the 
Middle East and concerns on global recovery due to possible impact on crude oil prices, and continued high levels of 
inflation in India and resultant monetary tightening. These factors impacted market sentiment resulting in decline in 
realised/unrealised profit on equity investments for fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010.

During fiscal 2010, softening of credit spreads had resulted in reversal of provision held against the credit derivatives 
portfolio amounting to  ` 3.97 billion. During fiscal 2011, there was a profit on credit derivatives portfolio amounting 
to  ` 0.15 billion.

At  March  31,  2011,  we  had  an  outstanding  net  investment  of  `  28.31  billion  in  security  receipts  issued  by  asset 
reconstruction companies in relation to sale of non-performing assets. At the end of each reporting period, security 
receipts  issued  by  asset  reconstruction  companies  are  valued  as  per  net  asset  value  obtained  from  the  asset 
reconstruction company from time to time. During fiscal 2011, the impact of these security receipts on the income 
from treasury-related activities was a loss of ` 2.31 billion compared to a loss of ` 2.12 billion in fiscal 2010. 

Lease and other income

Lease and other income primarily includes dividend from subsidiaries, lease rentals and profit on sale of fixed assets. 
Lease and other income decreased from ` 6.47 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 4.44 billion in fiscal 2011. During fiscal 2010, the 
Bank and First Data, a global leader in electronic commerce and payment services, formed a merchant acquiring alliance 
and a new entity, 81.0% owned by First Data. This entity acquired ICICI Bank’s merchant acquiring operations through 
transfer of assets, primarily comprising fixed assets, receivables and payables, and assumption of liabilities, for a total

Non-interest  expenses  primarily  include  employee  expenses,  depreciation  on  assets,  direct  marketing  agency 
expenses and other administrative expenses. In fiscal 2011, non-interest expenses increased by 12.9% from ` 58.60 
billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 66.17 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due to an increase in employee expenses partly offset by 
a decrease in other administrative expenses and a decrease in depreciation on leased assets.

Payments to and provisions for employees

Employee expenses increased by 46.3% from ` 19.26 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 28.17 billion in fiscal 2011. Employee 
expenses  increased  primarily  due  to  addition  of  employees  of  Bank  of  Rajasthan,  annual  increase  in  salaries  and 
provision for payment of performance bonus and performance-linked retention pay during the period and increase in 
the employee base, including sales executives, employees on fixed term contracts and interns, from 41,068 employees 
at March 31, 2010 to 56,969 employees at March 31, 2011 (including employees of Bank of Rajasthan).

Depreciation

Depreciation on owned property increased by 1.3% from ` 4.78 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 4.84 billion in fiscal 2011 
primarily due to increase in the branch and ATM network and capitalisation of the Bank’s new building in Hyderabad, 
offset, in part, by sale of assets of merchant acquiring operations and other properties. Depreciation on leased assets 
decreased from ` 1.42 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 0.79 billion in fiscal 2011 due to a reduction in leased assets.

Other administrative expenses

Other  administrative  expenses  primarily  include  rent,  taxes  and  lighting,  advertisement  and  publicity,  repairs  and 
maintenance and other expenditure. Other operating expenses decreased by 3.4% from ` 31.89 billion in fiscal 2010 to 
` 30.80 billion in fiscal 2011. The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to our overall cost reduction

initiatives.  There  was  a  reduction  in  retail  business  expenses,  law  charges  and  expenses  on  account  of  postage 
and  communication  expenses  in  fiscal  2011  which  was  partly  offset  by  an  increase  in  rent,  taxes  and  lighting  and 
repairs and maintenance expenses due to an increase in our branch and ATM network. The number of branches and 
extension counters (excluding foreign branches and offshore banking units) increased from 1,707 at March 31, 2010 
to 2,529 at March 31, 2011. We also increased our ATM network from 5,219 ATMs at March 31, 2010 to 6,104 ATMs at 
March 31, 2011. These figures include branches and ATMs of Bank of Rajasthan.

Direct marketing agency expenses

Direct marketing agency expenses increased from ` 1.25 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 1.57 billion in fiscal 2011. The increase 
in direct marketing expenses was primarily due to higher retail loan disbursements. We use marketing agents, called 
direct  marketing  agents  or  associates,  for  sourcing  our  retail  assets.  We  include  commissions  paid  to  these  direct 
marketing agents in non-interest expense. In line with the RBI guidelines, these commissions are expensed upfront 
and not amortised over the life of the loan.

Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax)

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the components of provisions and contingencies.

Includes restructuring related provision.

Provisions are made by us on standard, sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates prescribed by RBI. Loss assets and 
unsecured portions of doubtful assets are provided/written off as required by extant RBI guidelines. Subject to the 
minimum provisioning levels prescribed by RBI, provisions on retail non-performing loans are made at the borrower 
level in accordance with our retail assets provisioning policy. The specific provisions on retail loans held by us are 
higher than the minimum regulatory requirement. 

Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) decreased by 47.9% from ` 43.87 billion in fiscal 2010 to 
` 22.87 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due to a reduction in provisions for retail non-performing loans. The reduction 
in  provision  against  retail  non-performing  loans  was  primarily  due  to  a  sharp  reduction  in  accretion  to  retail  non-
performing loans in fiscal 2011. 

In the second quarter review of monetary policy for fiscal 2010, RBI directed banks to ensure that their total provisioning 
coverage ratio was not less than 70% by end-September 2010. On December 1, 2009, RBI issued detailed guidelines 
on provisioning coverage for advances by banks. In March 2010, RBI permitted us to reach the stipulated provisioning 
coverage ratio of 70% in a phased manner by March 2011. Our provisioning coverage ratio at March 31, 2011 computed 
as per the above mentioned RBI guidelines was 76.0%.

No additional general provision was required on standard assets during fiscal 2011. RBI guidelines do not permit write-
back of excess provisions already made and therefore we held a cumulative general provision of ` 14.80 billion at 
March 31, 2011 compared to the general provision requirement as per the revised guidelines of about ` 10.86 billion.

Tax expense

The income tax expense (including wealth tax) increased by 22.0% from ` 13.20 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 16.10 billion 
in fiscal 2011. The effective tax rate of 23.8% in fiscal 2011 was lower compared to the effective tax rate of 24.7% in 
fiscal 2010 primarily due to change in mix of taxable profits with a higher component of exempt income in the current 
fiscal year and tax benefits from the amalgamation of Bank of Rajasthan.

2011 (including ` 155.96 billion of Bank of Rajasthan at August 12, 2010), primarily due to increase in investments  
and  advances.  Investments  increased  by  11.4%  from  `  1,208.93  billion  at  March  31,  2010  to  `  1,346.86  billion  at

at March 31, 2011. 

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  in  hand  and  balances  with  RBI  and  other  banks,  including  money  at  call  
and short notice. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from ` 388.73 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 340.90 billion at 
March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in balances with RBI from ` 241.73 billion at March 31, 
2010 to ` 171.23 billion at March 31, 2011 due to higher than stipulated CRR balance maintained at March 31, 2010. 

Investments
Total  investments  increased  by  11.4%  from  `  1,208.93  billion  at  March  31,  2010  to  `  1,346.86  billion  at  March  31, 
2011 (including ` 70.96 billion of Bank of Rajasthan at August 12, 2010), primarily due to an increase in investment 
in  corporate  bonds  and  debentures  by  `  125.1  1  billion,  RIDF  and  other  related  investments  in  lieu  of  shortfall  in 
directed lending requirements by ` 49.70 billion (including ` 21.34 billion of Bank of Rajasthan at August 12, 2010) 
and investments in commercial paper and certificate of deposits by ` 31.21 billion. The investment in pass-through 
certificates decreased by ` 15.93 billion at March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, we had 
an  outstanding  net  investment  of  `  28.31  billion  in  security  receipts  issued  by  asset  reconstruction  companies  in 
relation to sale of non-performing assets compared to ` 33.94 billion at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, we had a 
gross portfolio of funded credit derivatives of ` 10.60 billion and non-funded credit derivatives of ` 28.17 billion, which 
includes ` 0.22 billion as protection bought by us.

Advances
Net advances increased by 19.4% from ` 1,812.06 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 2,163.66 billion at March 31, 2011 
primarily due to increase in domestic corporate loans, overseas corporate loans and loans taken over from Bank of 
Rajasthan amounting to ` 65.28 billion at August 12, 2010. Net retail advances increased by 5.8% from ` 790.62 billion 
at March 31, 2010 to ` 836.75 billion at March 31, 2011. In rupee terms, net advances of overseas branches (including 
offshore banking unit) increased by 22.1% from ` 451.37 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 550.97 billion at March 31, 2011.

than  preference  share  capital).  During  fiscal  2010  and  fiscal  2011,  we  focussed  on  our  strategy  of  increasing 
the  share  of  current  and  savings  account  deposits  in  total  deposits  and  re-balancing  our  funding  mix.  The 
current  and  savings  account  deposits  increased  from  `  842.16  billion  at  March  31,  2010  to  `  1,016.47  billion  at  
March  31,  2011  (including  `  46.80  billion  of  Bank  of  Rajasthan  at  August  12,  2010)  and  the  ratio  of  current  and

Borrowings (including sub-ordinated debt and preference share capital)
Borrowings  increased  by  16.2%  from  `  942.64  billion  at  March  31,  2010  to  `  1,095.54  billion  at  March  31,  2011 
primarily due to an increase in call and term borrowings and an increase in capital-eligible borrowings in the nature of  
sub-ordinated debt. The capital-eligible borrowings in the nature of sub-ordinated debt increased to ` 363.91 billion 
at  March  31,  2011  compared  to  `  329.67  billion  at  March  31,  2010.  RBI  issued  guidelines,  effective  April  1,  2010, 
which  require  market  repurchase  transactions  (previously  accounted  for  as  sale  and  repurchase)  to  be  accounted 
for as borrowing and lending. The transactions  with  RBI  under  LAF  which  are accounted for  as  sale and purchase

Equity share capital and reserves
Equity share capital and reserves increased from ` 516.18 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 550.91 billion at March 31, 
2011  (including  statutory  reserve  of  `  2.00  billion  taken  over  from  Bank  of  Rajasthan  at  August  12,  2010)  primarily 
due to allotment of shares to the shareholders of Bank of Rajasthan and annual accretion to reserves out of profit. 
Excess of paid-up value of equity shares issued over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the amalgamation 
and amalgamation expenses, amounting to ` 2.10 billion have been adjusted against the securities premium account.

We  enter  into  foreign  exchange  forwards,  options,  swaps  and  other  derivative  products  to  enable  customers  to 
transfer, modify or reduce their foreign exchange and interest rate risk and to manage our own interest rate and foreign 
exchange positions. We manage our foreign exchange and interest rate risk with reference to limits set by RBI as well 
as those set internally. An interest rate swap does not entail exchange of notional principal and the cash flow arises 
on account of the difference between interest rate pay and receive legs of the swaps which is generally much smaller 
than the notional principal of the swap. With respect to the transactions entered into with customers, we generally 
enter into off-setting transactions in the inter-bank market. This results in generation of a higher number of outstanding 
transactions and hence a large value of gross notional principal of the portfolio, while the net market risk is low. For 
example, if a transaction entered into with a customer is covered by an exactly opposite transaction entered into with 
counter-party, the net market risk of the two transactions will be zero whereas the notional principal which is reflected 
as an off-balance sheet item will be the sum of both the transactions.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

As a part of project financing and commercial banking activities, we have issued guarantees to support regular business 
activities of clients. These generally represent irrevocable assurances that we will make payments in the event that the 
customer fails to fulfill its financial or performance obligations. Financial guarantees are obligations to pay a third party 
beneficiary where a customer fails to make payment towards a specified financial obligation. Performance guarantees 
are obligations to pay a third party beneficiary where a customer fails to perform a non-financial contractual obligation. 
The guarantees are generally for a period not exceeding ten years The credit risks associated with these products, as 
well as the operating risks, are similar to those relating to other types of financial instruments. In majority of the cases, 
we  have  collateral  available  to  reimburse  potential  losses  on  the  guarantees.  Cash  margins  available  to  reimburse 
losses realised under guarantees amounted to ` 24.39 billion at March 31, 2011 and ` 17.69 billion at March 31, 2010. 
Other property or security may also be available to us to cover losses under guarantees.

The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated, the principal components of guarantees.

and ` 596.00 billion of performance guarantees.

Claims against the Bank, not acknowledged as debts represents demands made in certain tax and legal matters against 
the Bank in the normal course of business. In accordance with our accounting policy and Accounting Standard 29, 
we have reviewed the demands and classified such disputed tax issues as possible obligation based on legal opinion/
judicial  precedents.  No  provision  in  excess  of  provisions  already  made  in  the  financial  statements  is  considered 
necessary.

We are obligated under a number of capital contracts. Capital contracts are job orders of a capital nature, which have 
been committed. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account in domestic operations 
aggregated to ` 3.58 billion at March 31, 2011 compared to ` 5.28 billion at March 31, 2010 primarily on account of 
new branches and capitalisation of the Bank’s new building in Hyderabad.

Capital Resources

We actively manage our capital to meet regulatory norms and current and future business needs considering the risks 
in our businesses, expectations of rating agencies, shareholders and investors and the available options for raising 
capital. Our capital management framework is administered by the Finance Group and the Risk Management Group 
under the supervision of the Board and the Risk Committee. The capital adequacy position and assessment is reported 
to the Board and the Risk Committee periodically.

Regulatory capital

We  are  subject  to  the  Basel  II  capital  adequacy  guidelines  stipulated  by  RBI  with  effect  from  March  31,  2008.  RBI 
guidelines on Basel II require us to maintain a minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 9.0% and a minimum 
Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 6.0% on an ongoing basis. Under Pillar 1 of the RBI guidelines on Basel II, we follow 
the Standardised approach for measurement of credit and market risks and Basic Indicator approach for measurement 
of operational risk.

RBI has also stipulated that banks shall maintain capital at higher of the minimum capital required as per Basel II or 
80% of the minimum capital required as per Basel I. At March 31, 2011, the prudential floor at 80% of the minimum 
capital requirement under Basel I was ` 283.84 billion and was lower than the minimum capital requirement of ` 307.35 
billion under Basel II. Hence, we have maintained capital adequacy at March 31, 2011 as per the Basel II norms.

Movement  in  our  capital  funds  and  risk  weighted  assets  from  March  31,  2010  to  March  31,  2011  (as  per  RBI 
guidelines on Basel II)

During the year ended March 31, 2011, capital funds increased by ` 96.22 billion primarily due to profit after tax earned 
for the year of ` 51.51 billion, incremental notional tax payable on special reserves of ` 1.74 billion, the issuance of 
lower Tier II debt capital of ` 59.79 billion and reduction in deduction on account of securitization exposures of ` 25.06 
billion, offset, in part, by an increase in deduction on account of deferred tax assets of ` 6.14 billion and proposed 
dividend for the year.

Credit  risk  RWA  increased  by  `  424.20  billion  from  `  2,485.59  billion  at  March  31,  2010  to  `  2,909.79  billion  at  
March 31, 2011 primarily due to increase of ` 310.19 billion in RWA for loans and advances and increase of ` 115.99 
billion in RWA for off-balance sheet credit exposures (including increase of ` 105.99 billion in RWA for non-fund based 
facilities and increase of ` 29.39 billion in RWA for undrawn commitments). 

Market  risk  RWA  increased  by  `  34.46  billion  from  `  221.06  billion  at  March  31,  2010  to  `  255.52  billion  at  
March 31, 2011. The general market risk RWA increased by ` 42.86 billion (capital charge of ` 3.86 billion) primarily 
due to increase in the investment book and duration of interest rate related instruments. 

The operational risk RWA at March 31, 2011 was ` 249.67 billion (capital charge of ` 22.47 billion). The operational risk 
capital charge is computed based on 15% of average of previous three financial years’ gross income and is revised 
on an annual basis at June 30.

Internal assessment of capital

Our  capital  management  framework  includes  a  comprehensive  internal  capital  adequacy  assessment  process 
conducted  annually,  which  determines  the  adequate  level  of  capitalisation  necessary  to  meet  regulatory  norms 
and current and future business needs, including under stress scenarios. The internal capital adequacy assessment 
process is formulated at both the standalone bank level and the consolidated group level. The process encompasses 
capital  planning  for  a  certain  time  horizon,  identification  and  measurement  of  material  risks  and  the  relationship 
between risk and capital.

The  capital  management  framework  is  complemented  by  the  risk  management  framework,  which  includes  a 
comprehensive  assessment  of  all  material  risks.  Stress  testing,  which  is  a  key  aspect  of  the  capital  assessment 
process and the risk management framework, provides an insight into the impact of extreme but plausible scenarios 
on the risk profile and capital position. Based on our Board-approved stress testing framework, we conduct stress 

Annual Report 2010-2011    63

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

tests on our various portfolios and assess the impact on our capital ratios and the adequacy of our capital buffers 
for current and future periods. We periodically assess and refine our stress tests in an effort to ensure that the stress 
scenarios capture material risks as well as reflect possible extreme market moves that could arise as a result of market 
conditions. Internal capital adequacy assessment process at the consolidated level integrates the business and capital 
plans and the stress testing results of the group entities.

Based on the internal capital adequacy assessment process, we determine our capital needs and the optimum level of 
capital by considering the following in an integrated manner:

 •

 •

 •

 •

 •

 •

strategic focus, business plan and growth objectives;

regulatory capital requirements as per RBI guidelines;

assessment of material risks and impact of stress testing;

perception of credit rating agencies, shareholders and investors;

future strategy with regard to investments or divestments in subsidiaries; and

evaluation of options to raise capital from domestic and overseas markets, as permitted by RBI from time to time.

We  formulate  our  internal  capital  level  targets  based  on  the  internal  capital  adequacy  assessment  process  and 
endeavour to maintain the capital adequacy level in accordance with the targeted levels at all times.

Basel III 

In order to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector to potential future shocks, together with ensuring adequate 
liquidity in the banking system, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued the Basel III proposals 
on December 17, 2009. Following a consultation phase on these proposals, the final set of Basel III rules were issued 
on December 16, 2010. The Basel III rules on capital consist of measures on improving the quality, consistency and 
transparency of capital, enhancing risk coverage, introducing a supplementary leverage ratio, reducing pro-cyclicality 
and promoting countercyclical buffers, and addressing systemic risk and interconnectedness. The Basel III rules on 
liquidity consist of a measure of short-term liquidity coverage ratio aimed at building liquidity buffers to meet stress 
situations, and a measure of long-term net stable funding ratio aimed at promoting longer term structural funding. 
Some of the Basel III measures will be phased-in between January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2019. BCBS has stipulated 
a phased implementation of the Basel III framework between January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2019

Guidlines  on  Basel  III  framework  for  the  Indian  banking  system  are  awaited  from  RBI.  We  continue  to  monitor 
developments  on  the  Basel  III  framework  and  believe  that  our  current  robust  capital  adequacy  position,  adequate 
headroom  currently  available  to  raise  hybrid/debt  capital,  demonstrated  track  record  of  access  to  domestic  and 
overseas markets for capital raising and adequate flexibility in our balance sheet structure and business model will 
enable us to adapt to the Basel III framework along with any amendments by RBI, as and when they are implemented.

ASSET QUALITY AND COMPOSITION
Loan Concentration

We  follow  a  policy  of  portfolio  diversification  and  evaluate  our  total  financing  in  a  particular  sector  in  light  of  our 
forecasts  of  growth  and  profitability  for  that  sector.  Between  2003  and  2006,  the  banking  system  as  a  whole  saw 
significant expansion of retail credit, with retail loans contributing for a major part of overall systemic credit growth. 
Accordingly,  during  these  years,  we  increased  our  focus  on  retail  finance.  In  view  of  high  asset  prices  and  the 
increase in interest rates since the second half of fiscal 2008, we followed a conscious strategy of moderation of retail 
disbursements, especially in the unsecured retail loans segment. Following this trend, our gross retail finance loans 
and advances declined from 49.3% of our total gross loans and advances at year-end fiscal 2009 to 44.4% at year-end 
fiscal 2010 and further to 39.7% at March 31, 2011.

Our Credit Risk Management Group monitors all major sectors of the economy and specifically tracks sectors in which 
we have loans outstanding. We seek to respond to any economic weakness in an industrial segment by restricting new 
exposures to that segment and any growth in an industrial segment by increasing new exposures to that segment, 
resulting in active portfolio management.

Directed Lending 

RBI requires banks to lend to certain sectors of the economy. Such directed lending comprises priority sector lending, 
export credit and housing finance. 

RBI guidelines require banks to lend 40.0% of their adjusted net bank credit, or credit equivalent amount of off-balance 
sheet exposure, whichever is higher, to certain specified sectors called priority sectors. The definition of adjusted net 
bank credit does not include certain exemptions and includes certain investments and is computed with reference to the 
outstanding amount at March 31 of the previous year. Priority sector includes small enterprises, agricultural sector, food 
and agri-based industries, small businesses and housing finance up to certain limits. Out of the 40.0%, banks are required 
to lend a minimum of 18.0% of their adjusted net bank credit to the agriculture sector and the balance to certain specified 
sectors,  including  small  enterprises  (defined  as  enterprises  engaged  in  manufacturing/production,  processing  and 
services businesses with a certain limit on investment in plant and machinery), small road and water transport operators, 
small businesses, professional and self-employed persons, all other service enterprises, micro credit, education loans 
and housing loans up to ` 2.0 million to individuals for purchase/construction of a dwelling unit per family. 

In its letter dated April 26, 2002 granting its approval for the amalgamation of ICICI Limited and ICICI Bank Limited, 
RBI stipulated that since the loans of erstwhile ICICI Limited (ICICI) transferred to us were not subject to the priority 
sector  lending  requirement,  we  are  required  to  maintain  priority  sector  lending  of  50.0%  of  our  adjusted  net  bank 
credit on the residual portion of our advances (i.e. the portion of our total advances excluding advances of ICICI at 
year-end fiscal, 2002, referred to as “residual adjusted net bank credit”). This method of computation will apply until 
such time as our aggregate priority sector advances reach a level of 40.0% of our adjusted net bank credit or review of 
this stipulation by RBI. As required by RBI guidelines, we are also required to lend 10.0% of the residual adjusted net 
bank credit or credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposures, whichever is higher, to weaker sections. RBI’s 
existing instructions on sub-targets under priority sector lending and eligibility of certain types of investments/funds 
for qualification as priority sector advances apply to us. 

We are required to comply with the priority sector lending requirements at the last ‘reporting Friday’ of each fiscal year.

The  shortfall  in  the  amount  required  to  be  lent  to  the  priority  sectors  and  weaker  sections  may  be  required  to  be 
deposited  with  government  sponsored  Indian  development  banks  like  the  National  Bank  for  Agriculture  and  Rural 
Development, the Small Industries Development Bank of India and the National Housing Bank. These deposits have 
a  maturity  of  up  to  seven  years  and  carry  interest  rates  lower  than market  rates.  At  year-end  fiscal  2011,  our  total 
investments in such bonds were ` 150.80 billion (including ` 21.34 billion of Bank of Rajasthan at August 12, 2010).

At March 25, 2011, the last reporting Friday for fiscal 2011, our priority sector loans were ` 551.73 billion, constituting 
53.1% of our residual adjusted net bank credit against the requirement of 50.0%. At that date, qualifying agriculture 
loans  were  14.0%  of  our  residual  adjusted  net  bank  credit  as  against  the  requirement  of  18.0%.  Our  advances  to 
weaker sections were ` 34.43 billion constituting 3.3% of our residual adjusted net bank credit against the requirement 
of  10.0%.  The  Bank  has  based  its  classifications  of  priority  sector  loans,  including  loans  to  weaker  sections  and 
agriculture loans, in accordance with the guidelines and certain clarifications received from RBI during the year.

Classification of loans

We classify our assets as performing and non-performing in accordance with RBI guidelines. Under these guidelines, 
an asset is classified as non-performing if any amount of interest or principal remains overdue for more than 90 days, 
in respect of term loans. In respect of overdraft or cash credit, an asset is classified as non-performing if the account 
remains out of order for a period of 90 days and in respect of bills, if the account remains overdue for more than 90 
days. In compliance with regulations governing the presentation  of financial information  by  banks,  we  report non-
performing assets net of cumulative write-offs in our financial statements.

RBI  has  separate  guidelines  for  restructured  loans.  A  fully  secured  standard  asset  can  be  restructured  by  re-
schedulement of principal repayments and/or the interest element, but must be separately disclosed as a restructured 
asset. The diminution in the fair value of the loan, if any, measured in present value terms, is either written off or a 
provision is made to the extent of the diminution involved. Similar guidelines apply to sub-standard loans. The sub-
standard or doubtful accounts which have been subject to restructuring, whether in respect of principal installment 
or interest amount are eligible to be upgraded to the standard category only after the specified period, i.e., a period 
of  one  year  after  the  date  when  first  payment  of  interest  or  of  principal,  whichever  is  earlier,  falls  due,  subject  to 
satisfactory performance during the period.

assets was after taking into consideration the additions to gross NPA (` 4.11 billion) arising out of the amalgamation 
of Bank of Rajasthan with effect from close of business at August 12, 2010. Net non-performing assets were ` 24.58 
billion at March 31, 2011 compared to ` 39.01 billion at March 31, 2010. The ratio of net non-performing assets to net 
customer assets decreased from 1.87% at March 31, 2010 to 0.94% at March 31, 2011. During fiscal 2011, we wrote-off 
NPAs, including retail NPAs, with an aggregate outstanding of ` 2.29 billion against ` 28.48 billion during fiscal 2010.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Our provision coverage ratio (i.e. total provisions made against non-performing assets as a percentage of gross non-
performing assets), at year-end fiscal 2011 was 76.0%. We have been permitted by RBI to achieve the stipulated level 
of provision coverage ratio of 70% in a phased manner by March 31, 2011, which was achieved at December 31, 2010. 
At March 31, 2011, total general provision held against standard assets was ` 14.80 billion compared to the general 
provision requirement as per the RBI guidelines of about ` 10.86 billion. The excess provision was not reversed in line 
with the RBI guidelines.

At March 31, 2011, the net non-performing loans in the retail portfolio were 1.5% of net retail loans as compared with 
3.1% at March 31, 2010. The decrease in the ratio was primarily on account of sharp decline in accretion to retail NPAs 
and higher provisioning against retail loans. At March 31, 2011, the net non-performing loans in the collateralised retail 
portfolio were 1.2% of the net collateralised retail loans and net non-performing loans in the non-collateralised retail 
portfolio (including overdraft financing against automobiles) were about 5.6% of net non-collateralised retail loans.

Our  aggregate  investments  in  security  receipts  issued  by  asset  reconstruction  companies  were  `  28.31  billion  at  
March 31, 2011 as compared to ` 33.94 billion at March 31, 2010.

Segment Information
RBI in its guidelines on “segmental reporting” has stipulated specified business segments and their definitions, for the 
purposes of public disclosures on business information for banks in India.

68

The standalone segmental report for the year ended March 31, 2011, based on the segments identified and defined by  
RBI, has been presented as follows:

 •

Retail Banking includes exposures of the Bank, which satisfy the four qualifying criteria of ‘regulatory retail portfolio’ 
as stipulated by the RBI guidelines on the Basel II framework.

 • Wholesale Banking includes all advances to trusts, partnership firms, companies and statutory bodies, by the Bank 

which are not included in the Retail Banking segment, as per the RBI guidelines for the Bank.

 •

Treasury includes the entire investment portfolio of the Bank.

 • Other Banking includes hire purchase and leasing operations and other items not attributable to any particular 

business segment of the Bank.

Framework for Transfer Pricing
All  liabilities  are  transfer  priced  to  a  central  treasury  unit,  which  pools  all  funds  and  lends  to  the  business  units 
at  appropriate  rates  based  on  the  relevant  maturity  of  assets  being  funded  after  adjusting  for  regulatory  reserve 
requirements and directed lending requirements. 

Retail Banking Segment
The loss in the retail banking segment decreased from  `  13.34  billion  in  fiscal 2010  to  `  5.14  billion  in  fiscal 2011, 
primarily due to decline in provisions for loan losses in the unsecured portfolio, partly offset by decline in net interest 
income and fee income. 

Net interest income decreased by 11.7% from ` 37.59 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 33.20 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due 
to reduction in the retail loan portfolio and the impact of increased cost of savings account deposits with effect from  
April 1, 2010. 

Non-interest income decreased by 19.2% from ` 26.19 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 21.16 billion in fiscal 2011, primarily 
due to reduction in credit card related fees following our conscious strategy of reducing the portfolio. Further, during 
fiscal 2010, we had sold our merchant acquiring operations through a transfer of assets, primarily comprising fixed 
assets, receivables and payables and assumption of liabilities to ICICI Merchant Services resulting in profit of ` 2.03 
billion  in  our  Retail  Banking  segment.  Further,  the  fees  from  distribution  of  third-party  products  were  impacted  by 
regulatory changes in the life insurance sector which led to decline in market volumes, changes in product mix and 
lower distributor payouts.

Provisions  decreased  by  58.9%  from  `  33.56  billion  in  fiscal  2010  to  `  13.81  billion  in  fiscal  2011,  primarily  due  to 
decline in provisions for loan losses in the unsecured retail portfolio. We have been taking various measures to contain 
the  non-performing  asset  (NPA)  accretion  in    retail  portfolio  over  the  last  two  years.  This  has  reflected  in  a  sharp 
reduction in provision requirements. 

Wholesale Banking Segment
Profit before tax of the wholesale banking segment increased from ` 36.45 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 49.00 billion in 
fiscal 2011 primarily due to increase in fee income and decline in provisions offset, in part, by increase in non-interest 
expenses.

Net interest income increased by 8.5% from ` 31.07 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 33.72 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due 
to higher business volumes.

Non-interest income increased by 41.9% from ` 28.08 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 39.85 billion in fiscal 2011. Fee income 
increased due to our increased participation in financing to corporates for their term loan, working capital and project 
financing requirements. During the year, there was an increase in loan processing related fees and transaction banking 
related fees from corporate clients.

Provisions decreased from ` 10.34 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 6.34 billion in fiscal 2011. Provisions were higher for fiscal 
2010 on account of the significantly higher restructuring of corporate loans during the period.

Treasury Banking Segment
Profit before tax of the treasury segment decreased from ` 27.89 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 22.01 billion in fiscal 2011, 
primarily due to lower gains from treasury-related activities, offset, in part, by increase in net interest income.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Other Banking Segment
Profit before tax of other banking segment decreased from ` 2.45 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 1.74 billion in fiscal 2011.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS AS PER INDIAN GAAP
The  consolidated  profit  after  tax  including  the  results  of  operations  of  our  subsidiaries  and  other  consolidating 
entities increased from ` 46.70 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 60.93 billion in fiscal 2011 mainly due to improved financial 
performance of ICICI Bank and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited offset, in part, by decline in profits of 
certain subsidiaries and net loss of ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited. The consolidated return on 
average equity increased from 9.6% in fiscal 2010 to 11.6% in fiscal 2011. 

Profit after tax of ICICI Bank UK PLC decreased marginally from ` 1.76 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 1.67 billion in fiscal 2011 
primarily due to decrease in fee income, lower mark-to-market (MTM) gains on derivatives and lower gains realised 
on buyback of bonds in fiscal 2011, offset, in part, by increase in net interest income due to an increase in net interest 
margin and lower operating expenses.

Profit after tax of ICICI Bank Canada decreased marginally from ` 1.54 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 1.45 billion in fiscal 2011 
primarily due to decrease in non-interest income offset, in part, by increase in net interest income due to an increase 
in net interest margin and lower operating expenses. 

Profit after tax of ICICI Bank Eurasia Limited Liability Company decreased from ` 0.53 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 0.21 billion in 
fiscal 2011 primarily due to decrease in net interest income, non-interest income and reduction in overall business levels.

Profit after tax of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited increased from ` 2.58 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 8.08 
billion  in  fiscal  2011  due  to  an  increase  in  net  premium  earned,  fund  management  fees  and  policy  fees  and  lower 
operating and commission expenses. Net premium earned increased by 8.1% from ` 164.76 billion in fiscal 2010 to  
` 178.17 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due to increase in single premium business from ` 2.75 billion in fiscal 2010 
to ` 21.69 billion in fiscal 2011. Operating expenses (other than staff cost) decreased by 18.6% from ` 14.17 billion in 
fiscal 2010 to ` 11.53 billion in fiscal 2011 due to space rationalisation initiatives, decrease in policy related expenses 
and other branch related expenses.

ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited had a loss of ` 0.80 billion in fiscal 2011 as compared to a profit of 
` 1.44 billion in fiscal 2010. In accordance with IRDA guidelines, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited, 
together with all other general insurance companies participates in the Indian Motor Third Party Insurance Pool (‘the 
Pool’), administered by the General Insurance Corporation of India (‘GIC’) from April 1, 2007. The Pool covers reinsurance 
of third party risks of commercial vehicles. Based on an analysis of the performance of the Pool by an independent 
consultant, IRDA has instructed all general insurance companies to provide at a higher provisional loss ratio of 153.0% 
(for each of the four years from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2011) in the financial results for fiscal 2011. Accordingly, the loss 
before tax of ICICI General for fiscal 2011 includes the impact of the additional pool losses of ` 2.72 billion. 

Profit after tax of ICICI Securities Limited decreased marginally from ` 1.23 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 1.13 billion in fiscal 
2011 primarily due to decrease in brokerage income on account of market conditions and increase in staff cost.

Profit after tax of ICICI Securities Primary Dealership Limited decreased from ` 0.85 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 0.53 billion 
in fiscal 2011 as fixed income markets offered limited opportunities for trading profits during fiscal 2011 and  higher 
funding costs reduced the net interest income.

Profit after tax of ICICI Home Finance Company Limited increased from ` 1.61 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 2.33 billion in 
fiscal 2011 primarily due to increase in net interest income following an increase in net interest margin and decrease 
in staff cost, administrative costs and lower provisions. Provisions on loans and advances decreased by 20.7% from  
` 0.29 billion in fiscal 2010 to ` 0.23 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due to decrease in the size of the loan book.

Profit after tax of ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited decreased from ` 1.28 billion in fiscal 2010 to  
` 0.72 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due to the decrease in management fees on account of decrease in average assets 
under management and higher administrative expenses.

Profit after tax of ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited increased from ` 0.51 billion in fiscal 2010 to  
` 0.74 billion in fiscal 2011 primarily due to increase in management fees on account of increase in carry income from 
funds and lower marketing and financial expenses in fiscal 2011.

Consolidated assets of the Bank and its subsidiaries and other consolidating entities increased from ` 4,893.47 billion

increased from ` 2,257.78 billion at March 31, 2010 to ` 2,560.19 billion at March 31, 2011.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
Convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (IASB) is gaining the attention of companies, regulators and investing communities across the world. 

Based on the recommendations of a Core Group set up to facilitate IFRS convergence in India, the Ministry of Corporate 
Affairs  (MCA),  in  consultation  with  RBI,  has  announced  the  approach  and  timelines  for  achieving  convergence  by 
financial institutions including banks, insurance companies and NBFCs. As per the roadmap, all scheduled commercial 
banks will need to convert their opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2013 in compliance with the IFRS converged 
Indian Accounting Standards. MCA has recently placed 35 Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS), converged with 
IFRS, on its website.

Currently, IASB has undertaken a project which will replace the current standards on financial instruments, particularly 
IAS 39, in a phased manner. As a part of this project, IASB has issued IFRS 9 – “Financial Instruments” which introduces 
a new classification and measurement regime for financial assets within its scope. Additionally, the IASB has released 
exposure  drafts  on  various  aspects  related  to  financial  instruments  which  include  ‘amortised  cost  and  impairment 
of financial assets’, ‘derecognition’, ‘fair value option for financial liabilities’, ‘hedge accounting’, ‘asset and liability 
offsetting’ and ‘fair value measurement’. These revisions are expected to be significantly different from existing IAS 
39 as issued by IASB and AS 30 as issued by ICAI. To enable the Indian banks to transition to IFRS converged Indian 
Accounting Standards, RBI is working actively with the banks in such areas as identifying the major impact areas for 
banking  industry,  impact  on  existing  regulatory  guidelines  and  arriving  at  an  industry-wide  common  approach  to 
transition issues to the extent possible. 

Currently, we report our financials under Indian GAAP and also report a reconciliation of shareholders’ equity and net 
profit under Indian GAAP to US GAAP. We are awaiting further clarity on the final transition to IFRS in order to assess 
the impact on our accounting systems and processes and financial reporting.

auditors’ report

To the Members of ICICI Bank Limited

1.  We have audited the attached balance sheet of ICICI Bank Limited (the ‘Bank’) as at 31 March 2011 and also the profit and 
loss account and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements are 
the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audit. Incorporated in the said financial statements are the returns of the Singapore, Bahrain and Hong 
Kong branches of the Bank, audited by other auditors.

2.  We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require 
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

3. 

The balance sheet and profit and loss account are drawn up in conformity with Forms A and B (revised) of the Third 
Schedule to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, read with Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956.

4.  We did not audit the financial statements of Singapore, Bahrain and Hong Kong branches, whose financial statements 
reflect total assets of ` 850,507.9 million as at 31 March 2011, the total revenue of ` 42,480.8 million for the year ended 
31 March 2011 and net cash flows amounting to ` 39,302.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2011. These financial 
statements have been audited by other auditors, duly qualified to acts as auditors in the country of incorporation of the 
said branches, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion is based solely on the report of other auditors.

5.  We report that:

a)  We  have  obtained  all  the  information  and  explanations,  which  to  the  best  of  our  knowledge  and  belief  were 

necessary for the purposes of our audit and have found them to be satisfactory;

b) 

c) 

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

In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Bank so far as appears from our 
examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purposes of our audit have been received from 
branches not visited by us. The Branch Auditor’s Report(s) have been forwarded to us and have been appropriately 
dealt with;

d)  The balance sheet, profit and loss account and  cash flow statement dealt with by this report are in agreement with 

the books of account;

e) 

In our opinion, the balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement dealt with by this report comply 
with the accounting standards referred to in sub section (3C) of Section 211 of the Companies Act, insofar as they 
apply to the Bank;

f)  On the basis of written representations received from the directors, as on 31 March 2011, and taken on record by 
the Board of Directors, we report that none of the directors is disqualified from being appointed as a director in 
terms of clause (g) of sub section (1) of Section 274 of the Companies Act, 1956;

g) 

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said accounts 
give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956 in the manner so required for banking companies, and 
give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India;

i. 

ii. 

in case of the balance sheet, of the state of the affairs of the Bank as at 31 March 2011;

in case of the profit and loss account, of the  profit for the year ended on that date; and

iii. 

in case of  of cash flow statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

SCHEDULE 17
Significant accounting policies
OVERVIEW
ICICI Bank Limited (ICICI Bank or the Bank), incorporated in Vadodara, India is a publicly held banking company engaged in 
providing a wide range of banking and financial services including commercial banking and treasury operations. ICICI Bank is 
a banking company governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with requirements prescribed under the Third Schedule of the 
Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The accounting and reporting policies of ICICI Bank used in the preparation of these financial 
statements conform to generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian gAAP), the guidelines issued by Reserve 
Bank of India (RBI) from time to time, the Accounting Standards (AS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India 
(ICAI) and notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 to the extent applicable and practices generally 
prevalent in the banking industry in India. The Bank follows the accrual method of accounting, except where otherwise stated, 
and the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions which are considered 
in  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  (including  contingent  liabilities)  as  of  the  date  of  the  financial  statements 
and  the  reported  income  and  expenses  during  the  reporting  period.  Management  believes  that  the  estimates  used  in  the 
preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. 

Revenue recognition
a) 

b) 
c) 

Loan processing fee is accounted for upfront when it becomes due.

Interest income is recognised in the profit and loss account as it accrues except in the case of non-performing assets 
(nPAs) where it is recognised upon realisation, as per the income recognition and asset classification norms of RBI.
Income from hire purchase operations is accrued by applying the implicit interest rate to outstanding balances.
Income from leases is calculated by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the net investment outstanding 
on the lease over the primary lease period. Leases entered into till March 31, 2001 have been accounted for as 
operating leases.
Income on discounted instruments is recognised over the tenure of the instrument on a constant yield basis.

d) 
e)  Dividend is accounted on an accrual basis when the right to receive the dividend is established.
f) 
g)  Project appraisal/structuring fee is accounted for on the completion of the agreed service.
h)  Arranger fee is accounted for as income when a significant portion of the arrangement/syndication is completed.
i)  Commission received on guarantees issued is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the guarantee.
j)  All other fees are accounted for as and when they become due.
k)  net  income  arising  from  sell-down/securitisation  of  loan  assets  prior  to  February  1,  2006  has  been  recognised 
upfront as interest income. With effect from February 1, 2006, net income arising from securitisation of loan assets 
is amortised over the life of securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle/special purpose entity 
to which the assets are sold. net income arising from sale of loan assets through direct assignment with recourse 
obligation is amortised over the life of underlying assets sold and net income from sale of loan assets through direct 
assignment, without any recourse obligation, is recognised at the time of sale. net loss arising on account of the 
sell-down/securitisation and direct assignment of loan assets is recognised at the time of sale. 

l)  The Bank deals in bullion business on a consignment basis. The difference between price recovered from customers 
and  cost  of  bullion  is  accounted  for  at  the  time  of  sales  to  the  customers.  The  Bank  also  deals  in  bullion  on  a 
borrowing and lending basis and the interest paid/received is accounted on accrual basis. 

Investments
Investments are accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines on investment classification and valuation 
as given below.
a)  All investments are classified into ‘Held to Maturity’, ‘Available for Sale’ and ‘Held for Trading’. Reclassifications,  
if any, in any category are accounted for as per RBI guidelines. Under each classification, the investments are further 
categorised  as  (a)  government  securities,  (b)  other  approved  securities,  (c)  shares,  (d)  bonds  and  debentures,  
(e) subsidiaries and joint ventures and (f) others.
‘Held to Maturity’ securities are carried at their acquisition cost or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over 
the face value. Any premium over the face value of fixed rate and floating rate securities acquired is amortised over 
the remaining period to maturity on a constant yield basis and straight line basis respectively.
‘Available  for  Sale’  and  ‘Held  for  Trading’  securities  are  valued  periodically  as  per  RBI  guidelines.  Any  premium 
over the face value of fixed rate and floating rate investments in government securities, classified as ‘Available for

forming part of the Accounts (Contd.)

Sale’, is amortised over the remaining period to maturity on constant yield basis and straight line basis respectively. 
Quoted investments are valued based on the trades/quotes on the recognised stock exchanges, subsidiary general 
ledger account transactions, price list of RBI or prices declared by Primary Dealers Association of India jointly with 
Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association (FIMMDA), periodically.
The market/fair value of unquoted government securities which are in the nature of Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) 
securities  included  in  the  ‘Available  for  Sale’  and  ‘Held  for  Trading’  categories  is  as  per  the  rates  published  by 
FIMMDA. The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities wherever linked to the yield-to-Maturity (yTM) 
rates, is computed with a mark-up (reflecting associated credit risk) over the yTM rates for government securities 
published by FIMMDA.
Unquoted equity shares are valued at the break-up value, if the latest balance sheet is available, or at ` 1, as per RBI 
guidelines.
Securities are valued scrip-wise and depreciation/appreciation is aggregated for each category. net appreciation in 
each category, if any, being unrealised, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided for.

d)  Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition, are charged 

to the profit and loss account.

e)  Equity  investments  in  subsidiaries/joint  ventures  are  categorised  as  ‘Held  to  Maturity’  in  accordance  with  RBI 
guidelines. The Bank assesses these investments for any permanent diminution in value and appropriate provisions 
are made. 

f)  Profit  on  sale  of  investments  in  the  ‘Held  to  Maturity’  category  is  credited  to  the  profit  and  loss  account  and  is 
thereafter appropriated (net of applicable taxes and statutory reserve requirements) to Capital Reserve. Profit on 
sale of investments in ‘Available for Sale’ and ‘Held for Trading’ categories is credited to profit and loss account.
g)  Market repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions in 
accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. Transactions with the RBI under Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) are 
accounted for as sale and purchase transactions.

h)  Broken period interest (the amount of interest from the previous interest payment date till the date of purchase/sale 

of instruments) on debt instruments is treated as a revenue item.

i)  At the end of each reporting period, security receipts issued by the asset reconstruction company are valued in 
accordance with the guidelines applicable to such instruments, prescribed by RBI from time to time. Accordingly, 
in cases where the cash flows from security receipts issued by the asset reconstruction company are limited to the 
actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the concerned scheme, the Bank reckons the 
net asset value obtained from the asset reconstruction company from time to time, for valuation of such investments 
at each reporting period end.

j)  The  Bank  follows  trade  date  method  of  accounting  for  purchase  and  sale  of  investments,  except  government 
securities where settlement date method of accounting is followed from January 1, 2011 in accordance with RBI 
guidelines.

3.   Provisions/write-offs on loans and other credit facilities

a)  All credit exposures, including advances at the overseas branches and overdues arising from crystallised derivative 
contracts,  are  classified  as  per  RBI  guidelines,  into  performing  and  nPAs.  Further,  nPAs  are  classified  into  sub-
standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by RBI. 
In the case of corporate loans, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates prescribed by RBI. 
Loss assets and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are provided/written off as per the extant RBI guidelines. 
For  advances  booked  in  overseas  branches,  provisions  are  made  at  the  higher  of  the  provision  required  at  the 
overseas branch as per the host country regulations and provision required as per extant RBI guidelines. Provisions 
on homogeneous retail loans, subject to minimum provisioning requirements of RBI, are assessed at a borrower 
level on the basis of days past due. 
The Bank holds specific provisions against non-performing loans, general provision against performing loans and 
floating provision taken over from erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan upon amalgamation. The assessment of incremental 
specific provisions is made after taking into consideration the existing specific provision held. The specific provisions 
on retail loans held by the Bank are higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.

b)    Provision  on  assets  restructured/rescheduled  is  made  in  accordance  with  the  applicable  RBI  guidelines  on 

restructuring of advances by Banks.
In respect of non-performing loan accounts subjected to restructuring, the account is upgraded to standard only 
after  the  specified  period  i.e.  a  period  of  one  year  after  the  date  when  first  payment  of  interest  or  of  principal, 
whichever is earlier, falls due, subject to satisfactory performance of the account during the period.

c)   Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years and provisions no longer considered necessary in the 

context of the current status of the borrower are recognised in the profit and loss account.

d)   In  addition  to  the  specific  provision  on  nPAs,  the  Bank  maintains  a  general  provision  on  performing  loans.  The 

general provision covers the requirements of the RBI guidelines.

In addition 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). The countries are categorised into seven risk 
categories namely insignificant, low, moderate, high, very high, restricted and off-credit and provisioning is made 
on exposures exceeding 180 days on a graded scale ranging from 0.25% to 100%. For exposures with contractual 
maturity of less than 180 days, provision is required to be held at 25% of the rates applicable to exposures exceeding 
180  days.  If  the  country  exposure  (net)  of  the  Bank  in  respect  of  each  country  does  not  exceed  1%  of  the  total 
funded assets, no provision is required on such country exposure.

Transfer and servicing of assets
The  Bank  transfers  commercial  and  consumer  loans  through  securitisation  transactions.  The  transferred  loans  are 
de-recognised  and  gains/losses  are  accounted  for  only  if  the  Bank  surrenders  the  rights  to  benefits  specified  in  the 
underlying securitised loan contract. Recourse and servicing obligations are accounted for net of provisions. 
In accordance with the RBI guidelines for securitisation of standard assets, with effect from February 1, 2006, the Bank 
accounts for any loss arising from securitisation immediately at the time of sale and the profit/premium arising from 
securitisation is amortised over the life of the securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle to which 
the assets are sold. In the case of loans sold to an asset reconstruction company, the excess provision is not reversed 
but  is  utilised  to  meet  the  shortfall/loss  on  account  of  sale  of  other  financial  assets  to  securitisation  company  (SC)/
reconstruction company (RC).

Fixed assets and depreciation
Premises and other fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes freight, duties, taxes and 
incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the asset. Depreciation is charged over the estimated 
useful life of a fixed asset on a straight-line basis. The rates of depreciation for fixed assets, which are not lower than the 
rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, are given below:

Asset
Premises owned by the Bank
Improvements to leasehold premises
ATMs
Plant and machinery like air conditioners, photo-copying 
machines, etc.
Computers
Furniture and fixtures
Motor vehicles
Others (including Software and system development expenses)

Depreciation Rate

10.00%

33.33%
15.00%
20.00%

a.  Depreciation  on  leased  assets  and  leasehold  improvements  is  recognised  on  a  straight-line  basis  using  rates 
determined with reference to the primary period of lease or rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 
1956, whichever is higher.

b.  Assets purchased/sold during the year are depreciated on a pro-rata basis for the actual number of days the asset 

c. 
d. 

has been put to use.
Items costing upto ` 5,000 are depreciated fully over a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.
In  case  of  revalued/impaired  assets,  depreciation  is  provided  over  the  remaining  useful  life  of  the  assets  with 
reference to revised assets values. 

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 daily closing rates, and income and expenditure items of non-integral foreign operations (foreign branches 
and offshore banking units) are translated at quarterly average closing rates.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of domestic and integral foreign operations are translated at closing 
exchange rates notified by Foreign Exchange Dealers’ Association of India (FEDAI) at the balance sheet date and the 
resulting profits/losses are included in the profit and loss account.
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 profits/losses from exchange 
differences are accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal of the net investment in the 
non-integral foreign operations.
The  premium  or  discount  arising  on  inception  of  forward  exchange  contracts  that  are  entered  into  to  establish  the 
amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction is amortised over the life of 
the contract. All other outstanding forward exchange contracts are revalued at the exchange rates notified by FEDAI 
for specified maturities and at interpolated rates for contracts of interim maturities. The contracts of longer maturities

where exchange rates are not notified by FEDAI, are revalued at the forward exchange rates implied by the swap curves 
in respective currencies. The resultant gains or losses are recognised in the profit and loss account.
Contingent liabilities on account of guarantees, endorsements and other obligations denominated in foreign currencies 
are disclosed at the closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date.

7. 

Accounting for derivative contracts
The  Bank  enters  into  derivative  contracts  such  as  foreign  currency  options,  interest  rate  and  currency  swaps,  credit 
default swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps.
The  swap  contracts  entered  to  hedge  on-balance  sheet  assets  and  liabilities  are  structured  such  that  they  bear  an 
opposite and offsetting impact with the underlying on-balance sheet items. The impact of such derivative instruments 
is correlated with the movement of underlying assets and accounted pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting. 
Hedged swaps are accounted for on an accrual basis.
Foreign currency and rupee derivative contracts entered into for trading purposes are marked to market and the resulting 
gain or loss (net of provisions, if any) is accounted for in the profit and loss account. Pursuant to RBI guidelines, any 
receivables under derivative contracts which remain overdue for more than 90 days and mark-to-market gains on other 
derivative contracts with the same counter-parties are reversed through profit and loss account.

8.   Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)

The  Employees  Stock  Option  Scheme  (the  Scheme)  provides  for  grant  of  equity  shares  of  the  Bank  to  wholetime 
directors and employees of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Scheme provides that employees are granted an option 
to subscribe to equity shares of the Bank that vest in a graded manner. The options may be exercised within a specified 
period.  The  Bank  follows  the  intrinsic  value  method  to  account  for  its  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans. 
Compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the exercise 
price on the grant date. The fair market price is the latest closing price, immediately prior to the grant date, which is 
generally the date of the Board of Directors meeting in which the options are granted, on the stock exchange on which 
the shares of the Bank are listed. If the shares are listed on more than one stock exchange, then the stock exchange 
where there is highest trading volume on the said date is considered.

9.   Staff Retirement Benefits

Gratuity
ICICI Bank pays gratuity to employees who retire or resign after a minimum prescribed period of continuous service 
and in case of employees at overseas locations as per the rules in force in the respective countries. ICICI Bank makes 
contributions  to  five  separate  gratuity  funds,  for  employees  inducted  from  erstwhile  ICICI  Limited  (erstwhile  ICICI), 
employees  inducted  from  erstwhile  Bank  of  Madura  Limited  (erstwhile  Bank  of  Madura),  employees  inducted  from 
erstwhile The Sangli Bank Limited (erstwhile Sangli Bank), employees inducted from erstwhile The Bank of Rajasthan 
Limited  (erstwhile  Bank  of  Rajasthan)  and  employees  of  ICICI  Bank  other  than  those  inducted  from  erstwhile  ICICI, 
erstwhile Bank of Madura, erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan.
Separate gratuity funds for employees inducted from erstwhile ICICI, erstwhile Bank of Madura, erstwhile Sangli Bank 
and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan are managed by ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited. 
The gratuity fund for employees of ICICI Bank, other than employees inducted from erstwhile ICICI, erstwhile Bank of 
Madura, erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan is administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India 
(LIC) and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited. 
Actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability for all the above funds is determined by an actuary appointed by the Bank. 
Actuarial  valuation  of  gratuity  liability  is  calculated  based  on  certain  assumptions  regarding  rate  of  interest,  salary 
growth, mortality and staff attrition as per the projected unit credit method.
Superannuation Fund
ICICI Bank contributes 15.0% of the total annual basic salary of certain employees to a superannuation fund for ICICI 
Bank employees. The employee gets an option on retirement or resignation to commute one-third of the total credit 
balance in his/her account and receive a monthly pension based on the remaining balance. In the event of death of an 
employee, his or her beneficiary  receives the remaining accumulated  balance. ICICI  Bank  also  gives  an  option to its 
employees, allowing them to receive the amount contributed by ICICI Bank along with their monthly salary during their 
employment. 
Up to March 31, 2005, the superannuation fund was administered solely by LIC. Subsequent to March 31, 2005, both LIC 
and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited are administering separate funds. Employees have the option to 
decide on an annual basis, the insurance company for management of that year’s contribution towards superannuation 
fund.
Pension
The Bank provides for pension, a deferred retirement plan covering certain employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura, 
erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan. The plan provides for pension payment on a monthly basis to 
these employees on their retirement based on the respective employee’s years of service with the Bank and applicable 

F15

salary.  For  erstwhile  Bank  of  Madura,  erstwhile  Sangli  Bank  and  erstwhile  Bank  of  Rajasthan  employees  in  service, 
separate pension funds are managed in-house and the liability is funded as per actuarial valuation. The pension payments 
to retired employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura and erstwhile Sangli Bank are being administered by ICICI Prudential 
Life Insurance Company Limited and pension payments to retired employees of erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan are being 
administered by LIC and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited from whom the Bank has purchased master 
annuity policies. Employees covered by the pension plan are not eligible for benefits under the provident fund plan.
Provident Fund
ICICI Bank is statutorily required to maintain a provident fund as a part of retirement benefits to its employees. There are 
separate provident funds for employees inducted from erstwhile Bank of Madura, erstwhile Sangli Bank, erstwhile Bank 
of Rajasthan and for other employees of ICICI Bank. In-house trustees manage these funds. Each employee contributes 
12.0% of his or her basic salary (10.0% for certain staff of erstwhile Sangli Bank) and ICICI Bank contributes an equal 
amount. The funds are invested according to the rules prescribed by the government of India.
Leave encashment
The  Bank  provides  for  leave  encashment  benefit,  which  is  a  defined  benefit  scheme,  based  on  actuarial  valuation 
conducted by an independent actuary.

10. 

Income Taxes
Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax expense incurred by the Bank. The current 
tax expense and deferred tax expense is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and as 
per Accounting Standard 22 - Accounting for Taxes on Income issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, 
respectively. Deferred tax adjustments comprise changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year. Deferred 
tax assets and liabilities are recognised on a prudent basis for the future tax consequences of timing differences arising 
between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and carry forward losses. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the 
balance sheet date. The impact of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account. 
Deferred tax assets are recognised and re-assessed at each reporting date, based upon management’s judgement as to 
whether their realisation is considered as reasonably certain.

11. 

Impairment of Assets
Fixed  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying 
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison 
of  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  with  future  net  discounted  cash  flows  expected  to  be  generated  by  the  asset.  If 
such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is recognised by debiting the profit and loss account and is 
measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

12.  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The  Bank  estimates  the  probability  of  any  loss  that  might  be  incurred  on  outcome  of  contingencies  on  the  basis  of 
information available up to the date on which the financial statements are prepared. A provision is recognised when 
an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be 
required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are determined based 
on  management  estimates  of  amounts  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. In cases where the available information indicates that the loss on the contingency is reasonably 
possible  but  the  amount  of  loss  cannot  be  reasonably  estimated,  a  disclosure  to  this  effect  is  made  in  the  financial 
statements. In case of remote possibility neither provision nor disclosure is made in the financial statements. The Bank 
does not account for or disclose contingent assets, if any.

13.  Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed in accordance with Accounting Standard-20 – Earnings per share. 
Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  net  profit  or  loss  after  tax  for  the  year  attributable  to  equity 
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue equity shares were exercised 
or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average number of 
equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the results are anti-dilutive.

14.  Lease transactions

Lease payments for assets taken on operating lease are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account over 
the lease term.

15.  Cash and cash equivalents

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

SCHEDULE 18
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS
The following additional disclosures have been made taking into account the requirements of Accounting Standards (ASs) 
and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines in this regard.

1.  Amalgamation of The Bank of Rajasthan Limited

The Bank of Rajasthan Limited (Bank of Rajasthan), a banking company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 
and licensed by RBI under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 was amalgamated with ICICI Bank Limited (ICICI Bank) with 
effect from close of business of August 12, 2010 in terms of the Scheme of Amalgamation (the Scheme) approved by 
the RBI vide its order DBOD No. PSBD 2603/16.01.128/2010-11 dated August 12, 2010 under sub section (4) of section 
44A of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The consideration for the amalgamation was 25 equity shares of ICICI Bank of 
the face value of ` 10 each fully paid-up for every 118 equity shares of ` 10 each of Bank of Rajasthan. Accordingly, ICICI 
Bank allotted 31,323,951 equity shares to the shareholders of Bank of Rajasthan on August 26, 2010 and 2,860,170 equity 
shares which were earlier kept in abeyance pending civil appeal, on November 25, 2010.

ICICI  Bank  is  also  a  banking  company  incorporated  under  the  Companies  Act,  1956  and  licensed  by  RBI  under  the 
Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

As per the Scheme, the undertaking of Bank of Rajasthan including all its assets and liabilities stood transferred/deemed 
to be transferred to and vested in ICICI Bank as a going concern. 

The amalgamation has been accounted for as per the Scheme. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Bank of Rajasthan 
have been accounted at the values at which they were appearing in the books of Bank of Rajasthan at August 12, 2010 
and provisions were made for the difference between the book values appearing in the books of Bank of Rajasthan and 
the fair value as determined by ICICI Bank.

In the books of ICICI Bank, an amalgamation expenses provision account was credited by an amount determined for the 
expenses and costs of the Scheme arising as a direct consequence on account of any changes in the business or operations 
of Bank of Rajasthan proposed or considered necessary by the Board of Directors of ICICI Bank (including but not limited 
to  rationalisation,  upgradation  and  enhancement  of  human  resources  and  expenses  relating  to  modifying  signage, 
modifying stationery, branding, changing systems and network, communication including media costs, impairment of 
technology and fixed assets, conducting general meetings, payment of listing fees and other statutory and regulatory 
charges, travel in relation to the consolidation contemplated in the Scheme, valuation, due diligence, investment banking 
expenses and charges relating to preparation of the Scheme, consultations in relation to the consolidation contemplated 
in the Scheme and training), and other extraordinary expenses on integration and consolidation under the Scheme, to 
be incurred by ICICI Bank and the balance in such account has been debited to the securities premium account.

Accordingly, the excess of the paid up value of shares issued over the fair value of the net asset acquired (including 
Statutory Reserves) of ` 1,440.1 million and amalgamation expenses of ` 657.8 million have been debited to the securities 
premium account. The computation of this amount is detailed in the table below:

As per the accounting done for amalgamation in terms of the Scheme, the identity of reserves of Bank of Rajasthan is 
not required to be preserved in the books of ICICI Bank. However, the balance in Statutory Reserve Account of Bank of 
Rajasthan at August 12, 2010 has been added to the Statutory Reserves of ICICI Bank. As a result, the balance in Statutory 
Reserves is higher to the extent of ` 2,002.7 million. The excess of the paid up value of shares issued over the fair value 
of the net asset acquired (including Statutory Reserves) and amalgamation expenses has been debited to the Securities 
Premium account of ICICI Bank. As a result, the balance in Securities Premium is lower to the extent of ` 2,097.9 million.

2.  Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per equity share are computed in accordance with AS 20 – Earnings per share. Basic earnings 
per equity share is computed by dividing net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding 
during the year. The diluted earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares 
and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the computation of earnings per share.

4.  Capital adequacy ratio

The Bank is subject to the Basel II capital adequacy guidelines stipulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with effect 
from March 31, 2008. The RBI guidelines on Basel II require the Bank to maintain a minimum capital to risk-weighted 
assets ratio (CRAR) of 9.0% and a minimum Tier-1 CRAR of 6.0% on an ongoing basis.

RBI has also stipulated that banks shall maintain capital at higher of the minimum capital required as per Basel II or 80% 
of the minimum capital required as per Basel I. At March 31, 2011, the prudential floor at 80% of the minimum capital 
requirement under Basel I was ` 283,837.8 million and was lower than the minimum capital requirement of ` 307,348.2 
million under Basel II. Hence, the Bank has maintained capital adequacy at March 31, 2011 as per the Basel II norms.

7.  Preference shares

Certain  government  securities  amounting  to  `  2,563.8  million  at  March  31,  2011  (March  31,  2010:  `  2,405.2  million)  
have been earmarked against redemption of preference shares issued by the Bank, which fall due for redemption on 
April 20, 2018, as per the original issue terms.

8.  Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) 

In terms of the ESOS, as amended, the maximum number of options granted to any eligible employee in a financial year 
shall not exceed 0.05% of the issued equity shares of the Bank at the time of grant of the options and aggregate of all 
such options granted to the eligible employees shall not exceed 5% of the aggregate number of the issued equity shares 
of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options. Under the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply 
for equity shares. Options granted for fiscal 2003 and earlier years vest in a graded manner over a three-year period, 
with 20%, 30% and 50% of the grants vesting in each year commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of 
grant. Options granted for fiscal 2004 to 2008 vest in a graded manner over a four-year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 
30% of the grants vesting in each year commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant. Options granted 
in April 2009 vest in a graded manner over a five year period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of grant vesting each year, 
commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of grant. Options granted in March 2010 onwards would vest in 
a graded manner over a four year period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of grant vesting each year, commencing from 
the end of 12 months from the date of grant. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or five 
years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. As per the scheme, the exercise price of ICICI Bank’s options is the 
last closing price on the stock exchange, which recorded highest trading volume preceding the date of grant of options. 
Hence, there was no compensation cost based on intrinsic value of options.

In February 2011, the Bank granted 3,035,000 options to eligible employees and whole-time Directors of ICICI Bank and 
certain of its subsidiaries at an exercise price of ` 967. Of these options granted, 50% would vest on April 30, 2014 and 
the balance 50% would vest on April 30, 2015. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of ` 2.9 million 
was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2011. 

If ICICI Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the year ended 
March  31,  2011  would  have  been  higher  by `  905.8  million  and  proforma  profit  after  tax  would  have  been `  50.60 
billion. On a proforma basis, ICICI Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share would have been ` 44.47 and ` 44.27 
respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 
2011 are given below.

5.26% to 8.42%

The  weighted  average  fair  value  of  options  granted  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2011  is  `  535.87  
(March 31, 2010: ` 199.91).

11.  Repurchase transactions

Till March 31, 2010, the Bank used to account for market repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions in government 
securities  and  corporate  debt  securities,  if  any,  as  “sale  and  repurchase”  transactions.  However,  as  per  RBI  circular 
no. RBI/2009-2010/356 IDMD/ 4135/11.08.43/2009-10 dated March 23, 2010, the Bank has started accounting for such 
transactions as “borrowing and lending” transactions, effective April 1, 2010. If the Bank had continued to account the 
repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions as  “sale and repurchase” at March 31, 2011, the investments would 
have been higher by ` 122.8 million and the ‘Balances with Banks and Money at call and short notice’ and ‘Borrowings’ 
would have been lower by ` 124.0 million and ` 1.2 million respectively.

Pursuant  to  RBI  circular  DBOD.No.BP.BC.58/21.04.141/2010-11  dated  November  4,  2010,  the  Bank  has  changed  the 
accounting for purchase and sale of government securities from trade date basis to settlement date basis with effect 
from  January  1,  2011.  Under  settlement  date  accounting,  the  purchase  and  sale  of  securities  are  recognised  in  the 
books on the date of settlement. The changes in fair value of investments between trade date and settlement date are 
recognised in case of purchased securities while such changes are ignored in case of securities sold. In case the Bank 
had continued to follow the trade date accounting, investments portfolio at March 31, 2011 would have been lower by  
`  655.2  million  (net),  the  other  assets  would  have  been higher  by  `  1,153.6  million,  other  liabilities  would  have been 
higher by ` 500.2 million and the impact on the profit and loss account would have been ` Nil.

15.  CBLO transactions

Collateralised Borrowing and Lending Obligation (CBLO) is a discounted money market instrument, developed by The 
Clearing  Corporation  of  India  Limited  (CCIL)  and  approved  by  RBI  which  involves  secured  borrowings  and  lending 
transactions.  At  March  31,  2011,  the  Bank  had  outstanding  borrowings  amounting  to  Nil  (March  31,  2010:  Nil)  and 
outstanding lending of ` 1,999.6 million (March 31, 2010: Nil) in the form of CBLO. The amortised book value of securities 
given as collateral by the Bank to CCIL for availing the CBLO facility was ` 51,841.1 million at March 31, 2011 (March 31, 
2010: ` 44,699.4 million).

16.  Derivatives

ICICI  Bank  is  a  major  participant  in  the  financial  derivatives  market.  The  Bank  deals  in  derivatives  for  balance  sheet 
management and market making purposes whereby the Bank offers derivative products to its customers, enabling them 
to hedge their risks.

Dealing in derivatives is carried out by identified groups in the treasury of the Bank based on the purpose of the transaction. 
Derivative  transactions  are  entered  into  by  the  treasury  front  office.  Treasury  middle  office  conducts  an  independent 
check of the transactions entered into by the front office and also undertakes activities such as confirmation, settlement, 
accounting, risk monitoring and reporting and ensures compliance with various internal and regulatory guidelines.

The market making and the proprietary trading activities in derivatives are governed by the Investment Policy and the 
Derivative Policy of the Bank, which lay down the position limits, value at risk limits, stop loss limits as well as other risk 
limits. The Risk Management Group (RMG) lays down the methodology for computation and monitoring of risk. The Risk 
Committee of the Board (RCB) reviews the Bank’s risk management policies in relation to various risks including Credit 
and recovery policy, Investment Policy, Derivative Policy, ALM Policy and Operational Risk Management Policy. The RCB 
comprises independent directors and the Managing Director and CEO.

The Bank  measures  and  monitors  risk  of  its  derivatives portfolio  using  such  risk  metrics  as  Value  at  Risk  (VAR), stop 
loss  limits  and  relevant  greeks  for  options.  Risk  reporting  on  derivatives  forms  an  integral  part  of  the  management 
information system. 

The use of derivatives for hedging purposes is governed by the hedge policy approved by Asset Liability Management 
Committee (ALCO). Subject to prevailing RBI guidelines, the Bank deals in derivatives for hedging fixed rate, floating 
rate or foreign currency assets/liabilities. Transactions for hedging and market making purposes are recorded separately. 
For hedge transactions, the Bank identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the hedge itself. The 
effectiveness is assessed at the time of inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. 

Hedge derivative transactions are accounted for pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting. Derivatives for market 
making purpose are marked to market and the resulting gain/loss is recorded in the profit and loss account. The premium 
on option contracts is accounted for as per Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India (FEDAI) guideline.

Derivative transactions are covered under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements 
with the respective counter parties. The exposure on account of derivative transactions is computed as per RBI guidelines 
and is marked against the credit limits approved for the respective counter-parties.

Contingent liability

Brief Description

Claims against 
the Bank, not 
acknowledged as  
debts

This item represents demands made in certain tax and legal matters against the Bank 
in  the  normal  course  of  business.  In  accordance  with  the  Bank’s  accounting  policy 
and Accounting Standard 29, the Bank has reviewed the demands and classified such 
disputed tax issues as possible obligation based on legal opinion/judicial precedents. 
No  provision  in  excess  of  provisions  already  made  in  the  financial  statements  is 
considered necessary.

Liability for partly paid 
investments

This  item  represents  amounts  remaining  unpaid  towards  purchase  of  investments. 
These payment obligations of the Bank do not have any profit/loss impact.

Liability on account of 
outstanding forward 
exchange contracts

The  Bank  enters  into  foreign  exchange  contracts  in  its  normal  course  of  business, 
to exchange currencies at a pre-fixed price at a future date. This item represents the 
notional  principal  amount  of  such  contracts,  which  are  derivative  instruments.  With 
respect to the transactions entered into with its customers, the Bank generally enters 
into  off-setting  transactions  in  the  inter-bank  market.  This  results  in  generation  of  a 
higher number of outstanding transactions, and hence a large value of gross notional 
principal of the portfolio, while the net market risk is lower.

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

This  item  represents  the  guarantees  and  documentary  credits  issued  by  the  Bank  in 
favour of third parties on behalf of its customers, as part of its trade finance banking 
activities,  with  a  view  to  augment  the  customers’  credit  standing.  Through  these 
instruments,  the  Bank  undertakes  to  make  payments  for  its  customers’  obligations, 
either directly or in case of failure of the customers to fulfil their financial or performance 
obligations.

Currency swaps,  
interest rate swaps, 
currency options and 
interest rate futures

Other items for  
which the Bank is  
contingently liable

This item represents the notional principal amounts of various derivative instruments 
which  the  Bank  undertakes  in  its  normal  course  of  business.  The  Bank  offers  these 
products  to  its  customers  to  enable  them  to  transfer,  modify  or  reduce  their  foreign 
exchange and interest rate risks. The Bank also undertakes these contracts to manage 
its own interest rate and foreign exchange positions. With respect to the transactions 
entered into with its customers, the Bank generally enters into off-setting transactions 
in the inter-bank market. This results in generation of a higher number of outstanding 
transactions, and hence a large value of gross notional principal of the portfolio, while 
the net market risk is lower.

Other items for which the Bank is contingently liable include primarily the securitisation 
and notional principal amounts of credit derivatives. The Bank is also obligated under 
a number of capital contracts. Capital contracts are job orders of a capital nature which 
have been committed. This item also includes the amount of Government securities 
bought/sold and remaining to be settled on the date of the financials statements.

During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Bank and First Data, a global company engaged in electronic commerce and

has acquired ICICI Bank’s merchant acquiring operations through transfer of assets, primarily comprising fixed assets 
and receivables, and assumption of liabilities, for a total consideration of ` 3,744.0 million. This transfer of assets and 
liabilities to the new entity would be considered a ‘slump sale’ for tax purposes. The Bank realised a profit of ` 2,029.0

As per the assessment done, there is no likely financial impact of the above letters issued to overseas regulators or of 
the indemnity agreements at March 31, 2011.

In  addition  to  the  above,  the  Bank  has  also  issued  letters  of  comfort  in  the  nature  of  letters  of  awareness  on  behalf 
of banking and non-banking subsidiaries in respect of their borrowings made or proposed to be made and for other 
incidental business purposes. As they are in the nature of factual statements or confirmation of facts, they do not create 
any financial impact on the Bank. 

The letters of comfort that are outstanding at March 31, 2011 pertain to facilities aggregating equivalent to ` 40,240.9 
million (March 31, 2010: ` 76,408.0 million) as availed of by such subsidiaries. The repayments of facilities pertaining 
to which such letters were issued, aggregate to ` 30,022.6 million and letters that were expired during the year ended 
March  31,  2011  pertained  to  facilities  aggregating  to  `  8,356.0  million.  A  letter  pertaining  to  facilities  aggregating  to  
` 2,229.8 million was re-issued during the year ended March 31, 2011.

As advised by RBI, the Bank has provided additional capital of ` 1,700.5 million (March 31, 2010: ` 3,312.4 million) on 
the letters of comfort that are in the nature of letters of awareness issued on behalf of its subsidiaries for their borrowing

associates and joint ventures (the ‘ICICI Group’), as at March 31, 2011, and also the consolidated profit and loss account 
and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These financial statements 
are the responsibility of the ICICI Bank Limited’s management and have been prepared by the management on the basis 
of separate financial statements and other financial information regarding components. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

2.  We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those Standards require 
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

3.  We  did  not  audit  the  financial  statements  of  certain  subsidiaries,  whose  financial  statements  reflect  total  assets  of

`  (39,042.3)  million  for  the  year  then  ended.  These  financial  statements  and  other  financial  information  have  been 
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion is based solely on the report of 
other auditors.

4.  We did not audit the financial statements of Singapore, Bahrain and Hong Kong branches, whose financial statements 
reflect total assets of ` 850,507.9 million as at March 31, 2011, the total revenue of ` 42,480.8 million for the year ended 
March 31, 2011 and net cash flows amounting to ` 39,302.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2011. These financial 
statements have been audited by other auditors, duly qualified to acts as auditors in the country of incorporation of the 
said branches, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion is based solely on the report of other auditors.

5.  We have also relied on the un-audited financial statements of certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, whose 
financial statements reflect total assets of ` 11,857.3 million as at March 31, 2011, total revenues of ` 3,141.8 million and 
net cash flows amounting to ` (178.0) million for the year then ended. 

6.  We report that the consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the ICICI Bank Limited’s management in 
accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Accounting  Standards  (AS)  21,  Consolidated  financial  statements,  Accounting 
Standards  (AS)  23,  Accounting  for  Investments  in  Associates  in  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  Accounting

SCHEDULE 17
Significant accounting policies 

OVERVIEW
ICICI Bank Limited (the Bank) together with its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (collectively, the Group) is a diversified 
financial  services  group  providing  a  wide  range  of  banking  and  financial  services  including  commercial  banking,  retail  banking, 
project and corporate finance, working capital finance, insurance, venture capital and private equity, investment banking, broking 
and treasury products and services.

The Bank was incorporated in Vadodara, India and is a banking company governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financials of ICICI Bank, its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

Entities, in which the Bank holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50.00% of the voting rights or where it exercises control, are fully 
consolidated on a line-by-line basis in accordance with the provisions of AS 21. Entities where the Bank, directly or indirectly, holds 
20.00%  to  50.00%  of  the  voting  rights  and/or  has  the  ability  to  exercise  significant  influence  are  accounted  for  under  the  equity 
method of accounting and the pro-rata share of their profit/(loss) is included in the consolidated profit and loss account. Assets, 
liabilities,  income  and  expenditure  of  jointly  controlled  entities  are  consolidated  using  the  proportionate  consolidation  method. 
Under this method, the Bank’s share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the jointly controlled entity is reported 
in separate line items in the consolidated financial statements. The Bank does not consolidate entities where control is intended to 
be temporary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Basis of preparation
The  accounting  and  reporting  policies  of  the  Group  used  in  the  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  conform  to 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP), the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities 
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), National Housing Bank (NHB), the 
Accounting Standards (AS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and notified by the Companies (Accounting 
Standards) Rules, 2006 from time to time, as applicable to relevant companies and practices generally prevalent within the banking 
industry  in  India.  In  the  case  of  the  foreign  subsidiaries,  Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principles  as  applicable  to  the  foreign 
subsidiaries are followed. 

The Group follows the accrual method of accounting except where otherwise stated, and the historical cost convention. In case the 
accounting policies followed by a subsidiary or joint venture are different from those followed by the Bank, the same have been 
disclosed separately.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions which are considered 
in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the consolidated financial statements 
and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation 
of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the results of the following entities in addition to the Bank.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. 

Transactions involving foreign exchange
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are reported in Indian rupees (`), the national currency of India. Foreign 
currency income and expenditure items are translated as follows:
 •

For domestic operations, at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction with the resultant gain or loss 
accounted for in the profit and loss account.
For integral foreign operations, at weekly average closing rates with the resultant gain or loss accounted for in the profit and 
loss account. An integral foreign operation is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of the reporting enterprise, 
the activities of which are based or conducted in a country other than the country of the reporting enterprise but are an 
integral part of the reporting enterprise.
For non-integral foreign operations, at the quarterly average closing rates with the resultant gains or losses accounted for 
as foreign currency translation reserve.

 •

 •

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of domestic and integral foreign operations are translated at closing exchange 
rates notified by Foreign Exchange Dealers’ Association of India (FEDAI) at the balance sheet date and the resulting profits/
losses are included in the profit and loss account.

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 profits/losses from exchange differences 
are accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal of the net investment in the non-integral foreign 
operations.

The  premium  or  discount  arising  on  inception  of  forward  exchange  contracts  in  domestic  operations  that  are  entered  to 
establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction is amortised over the 
life of the contract. All other outstanding forward exchange contracts are revalued at the exchange rates notified by FEDAI 
for specified maturities and at interpolated rates for contracts of interim maturities. The contracts of longer maturities where 
exchange rates are not notified by FEDAI, are revalued at the forward exchange rates implied by the swap curves for respective 
currencies. The resultant gains or losses are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Contingent  liabilities  on  account  of  guarantees,  endorsements  and  other  obligations  denominated  in  foreign  currency  are 
disclosed at the closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date.

Revenue recognition
 •

Interest  income  is  recognised  in  the  profit  and  loss  account  as  it  accrues  except  in  the  case  of  non-performing  assets 
(NPAs) where it is recognised upon realisation, as per the income recognition and asset classification norms of RBI/NHB.
Income from hire purchase operations is accrued by applying the implicit interest rate on outstanding balances.
Income from leases is calculated by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the net investment outstanding on the 
lease over the primary lease period. Leases entered into till March 31, 2001 have been accounted for as operating leases. 
Income on discounted instruments is recognised over the tenure of the instrument on a constant yield basis.
Dividend income is accounted on an accrual basis when the right to receive the dividend is established.

as interest income. With effect from February 1, 2006 net income arising from securitisation of loan assets are amortised 
over the life of securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle/special purpose entity to which assets 
are  sold.  Net  income  arising  from  sale  of  loan  assets  through  direct  assignment  with  recourse  obligation  is  amortised 
over the life of underlying assets sold and net income from sale of loan assets through direct assignment, without any 
recourse obligation, is recognised at the time of sale. Net loss arising on account of the sell-down/securitisation and direct 
assignment of loan assets are recognised at the time of sale.
The Bank deals in bullion business on a consignment basis. The difference between price recovered from customers and 
cost of bullion is accounted for at the time of sale to the customers. 
The  Bank  also  deals  in  bullion  on  a  borrowing  and  lending  basis  and  the  interest  paid/received  is  accounted  on  
accrual basis. 
Income  from  brokerage  activities  is  recognised  as  income  on  the  trade  date  of  the  transaction.  Brokerage  income  in 
relation  to  public  or  other  issuances  of  securities  is  recognised  based  on  mobilisation  and  terms  of  agreement  with  
the client.

In the case of general insurance business, premium is recorded for the policy period at the commencement of risk and 
for installment cases, it is recorded on installment due dates. Premium earned is recognised as income over the period 
of  risk  or  the  contract  period  based  on  1/365  method,  whichever  is  appropriate,  on  a  gross  basis,  net  of  service  tax. 
Any  subsequent  revision  to  premium  is  recognised  over  the  remaining  period  of  risk  or  contract  period.  Adjustments 
to premium income arising on cancellation of policies are recognised in the period in which the policies are cancelled. 
Commission  on  reinsurance  ceded  is  recognised  as  income  in  the  period  of  ceding  the  risk.  Profit  commission  under 
reinsurance  treaties,  wherever  applicable,  is  recognised  as  income  in  the  period  of  final  determination  of  profits  and 
combined with commission on reinsurance ceded.
In the case of general insurance business, insurance premium on ceding of the risk is recognised in the period in which 
the risk commences. Any subsequent revision to premium ceded is recognised in the period of such revision. Adjustment 
to re-insurance premium arising on cancellation of policies is recognised in the period in which it is cancelled. In case 
of life insurance business, cost of reinsurance ceded is accounted for at the time of recognition of premium income in 
accordance  with  the  treaty  or  in-principle  arrangement  with  the  reinsurer.  Profit  commission  on  reinsurance  ceded  is 
netted off against premium ceded on reinsurance. 
In the case of general insurance business, premium deficiency is recognised when the sum of expected claim costs and 
related expenses exceed the reserve for unexpired risks and is computed at a business segment level.

Stock based compensation
The following entities within the group have granted stock options to their employees:
 •
 •
 •
 •
The Employees Stock Option Scheme (the Scheme) provides for grant of equity shares of the Bank to wholetime directors and 
employees of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Scheme provides that employees are granted options to subscribe to equity 
shares of the Bank that vest in a graded manner. The options may be exercised within a specified period. ICICI Prudential Life 
Insurance Company and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company have also formulated similar stock option schemes for 
their employees for grant of equity shares of their respective companies. 

The  Group  follows  the  intrinsic  value  method  to  account  for  its  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans.  Compensation 
cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price on the grant date. 
The fair market price is the latest closing price, immediately prior to the grant date, which is generally the date of the Board of 
Directors meeting in which the options are granted, on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Bank are listed. If the 
shares are listed on more than one stock exchange, then the stock exchange where there is highest trading volume on the said 
date is considered. The banking subsidiaries namely, ICICI Bank UK and ICICI Bank Canada account for the cost of the options 
granted to employees by ICICI Bank using the fair value method based on Black Scholes model. In the case of ICICI Prudential 
Life Insurance Company and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company, the fair value of the shares is determined based on an 
external valuation report.

The Group’s venture capital subsidiary i.e. ICICI Venture Funds Management Company has settled carried interest trusts for the 
benefit of its employees. These trusts have investment in a separate class of units of certain fully consolidated funds. These 
carried interest entitlements are treated as employee compensation and are accounted for at the time of distribution of such 
carried interest to the trusts. 

4. 

Income taxes
Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax expense incurred by the Group. The current tax 
expense and deferred tax expense is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and as per AS 
22 on ‘accounting for taxes on income’ issued by ICAI, respectively. Deferred tax adjustments comprise changes in the deferred 
tax assets or liabilities during the year. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  on  a  prudent  basis  for  the  future  tax  consequences  of  timing  differences 
arising between the carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and carry forward losses. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance 
sheet date. The impact of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account. 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  and  re-assessed  at  each  reporting  date,  based  on  the  management’s  judgement  as  to 
whether their realisation is considered as reasonably certain. 

In  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  computed  at  an  individual  entity  level  and 
aggregated for consolidated reporting.

5. 

Claims and benefits paid
In the case of general insurance business, claims incurred comprise claims paid, estimated liability for outstanding claims made 
following a loss occurrence reported and estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and claims incurred but 
not enough reported (IBNER). Further, claims incurred also include specific claim settlement costs such as survey/legal fees 
and other directly attributable costs. Claims (net of amounts receivable from re-insurers/co-insurers) are recognised on the 
date of intimation of the loss based on estimates from surveyors/insured in the respective revenue account. Estimated liability 
for outstanding claims at the balance sheet date is recorded net of claims recoverable from/payable to co-insurers/re-insurers 
and salvage to the extent there is certainty of realisation. Estimated liability for outstanding claim is determined by the entity on 
the basis of ultimate amounts likely to be paid on each claim based on the past experience. These estimates are progressively

revalidated on availability of further information. Claims IBNR represent that amount of claims that may have been incurred 
during the accounting period but have not been reported or claimed. The claims IBNR provision also includes provision, if 
any, required for claims IBNER. Estimated liability for claims IBNR/claims IBNER is based on an actuarial estimate duly certified 
by the appointed actuary of the entity. IBNR/IBNER has been created on re-insurance accepted from Indian Motor Third Party 
Insurance Pool based on actuarial estimates received from them. 
In the case of life insurance business, claims other than maturity claims are accounted for on receipt of intimation. Survival 
benefit and maturity claims are accounted when due. Withdrawals and surrenders under linked policies are accounted in the 
respective schemes when the associated units are cancelled/redeemed. Re-insurance recoveries on claims are accounted for, 
in the same period as the related claims. 

Liability for life policies in force
In the case of life insurance business, liability for life policies in force and also policies in respect of which premium has been 
discontinued but a liability exists, is determined by the appointed actuary as per the gross premium method in accordance with 
accepted actuarial practice, requirements of the IRDA and the Actuarial Society of India. 

Reserve for unexpired risk
Reserve for unexpired risk is recognised net of re-insurance ceded and represents premium written that is attributable and to 
be allocated to succeeding accounting periods for risks to be borne by the entity under contractual obligations on contract 
period basis or risk period basis, whichever is appropriate. It is calculated on a daily pro-rata basis subject to a minimum of 
50.00% of the aggregated premium, written on policies during the twelve months preceding the balance sheet date for fire, 
marine, cargo and miscellaneous business and 100.00% for marine hull business, on all unexpired policies at balance sheet 
date, in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1938.

Actuarial method and valuation
In the case of life insurance business, the actuarial liability on both participating and non-participating policies is calculated using 
the gross premium method, using assumptions for interest, mortality, expense and inflation, and in the case of participating 
policies, future bonuses together with allowance for taxation and allocation of profits to shareholders. These assumptions are 
determined as prudent estimates at the date of valuation with allowances for adverse deviations. No allowance is made for 
expected lapses.
The  greater  of  liability  calculated  using  discounted  cash  flows  and  unearned  premium  reserves  are  held  for  the  unexpired 
portion of the risk for the general fund liabilities of linked business and attached riders. An unearned premium reserve is held 
for one year renewable group term insurance. 
The  unit  liability  in  respect  of  linked  business  has  been  taken  as  the  value  of  the  units  standing  to  the  credit  of 
policyholders, using the Net Asset Value (NAV) prevailing at the valuation date. The adequacy of charges under unit linked 
policies  to  meet  future  expenses  has  been  tested  and  provision  made  as  appropriate.  Provision  has  also  been  made  for 
the  cost  of  guarantee  under  unit  linked  products  that  carry  a  guarantee.  The  units  held  in  respect  of  lapsed  policies  are 
divided  into  a  revival  reserve,  which  contributes  to  liabilities,  and  a  fund  for  future  appropriation,  which  contributes  to  
regulatory capital.
The interest rates used for valuing the liabilities are in the range of 6.16% to 6.86% per annum (previous year – 5.10% to 6.78% 
per annum). 
Mortality rates used are based on the published IALM (94 – 96) Ultimate Mortality Table for assurances and LIC 96-98 table for 
annuities, adjusted to reflect expected experience while morbidity rates used are based on CIBT 93 table, adjusted for expected 
experience, or on risk rates supplied by reinsurers. 
Expenses are provided for at current levels, in respect of renewal expenses, with no allowance for future improvements. Per 
policy renewal expenses for regular premium policies are assumed to inflate at 5.90% (previous year – 4.30%).

Superannuation fund
ICICI Bank contributes 15.00% of the total annual basic salary of certain employees to a superannuation fund for ICICI Bank 
employees. The employee gets an option on retirement or resignation to commute one-third of the total credit balance in his/
her account and receive a monthly pension based on the remaining balance. In the event of death of an employee, his or her 
beneficiary receives the remaining accumulated balance. ICICI Bank also gives cash option to its employees, allowing them to 
receive the amount contributed by ICICI Bank in their monthly salary during their employment. In that event, the employee does 
not receive any superannuation benefit on retirement/resignation from services of the Bank.
Upto March 31, 2005, the superannuation fund was administered solely by Life Insurance Corporation of India. Subsequent to 
March 31, 2005, both Life Insurance Corporation of India and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited are administering 
separate  funds.  Employees  have  the  option  to  decide  on  an  annual  basis,  the  insurance  company  for  management  of  that 
year’s contribution towards superannuation fund.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company and ICICI Venture Funds Management 
Company have accrued for superannuation liability based on a percentage of basic salary payable to eligible employees for the 
period of service. 

Pension
The Bank provides for pension, a deferred retirement plan covering certain employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura, erstwhile 
Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan. The plan provides for a pension payment on a monthly basis to these employees 
on their retirement based on the respective employee’s years of service with the Bank and applicable salary. For erstwhile Bank 
of Madura, erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan employees in service, separate pension funds are managed 
in-house and the liability is funded as per actuarial valuation. The pension payments to retired employees of erstwhile Bank 
of Madura and erstwhile Sangli Bank are being administered by ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and pension 
payments to retired employees of erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan are being administered by LIC and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance 
Company Limited for whom the Bank has purchased master annuity policies. Employees covered by the pension plan are not 
eligible for benefits under the provident fund plan.

Provident fund
The  Group  is  statutorily  required  to  maintain  a  provident  fund  as  a  part  of  retirement  benefits  to  its  employees.  There  are 
separate  provident  funds  for  employees  inducted  from  erstwhile  Bank  of  Madura,  erstwhile  Sangli  Bank,  erstwhile  Bank  of 
Rajasthan and for other employees of ICICI Bank. In-house trustees manage these funds. Each employee contributes a specified 
portion of the basic salary and the Group contributes an equal amount. The funds are invested according to the rules prescribed 
by the Government of India.

Leave encashment
The Group provides for leave encashment benefit, which is a defined benefit scheme, based on actuarial valuation conducted 
by an independent actuary.

11.  Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Group estimates the probability of any loss that might be incurred on outcome of contingencies on the basis of information 
available  upto  the  date  on  which  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared.  A  provision  is  recognised  when  an 
enterprise has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required 
to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate 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.  In  cases  where 
the available information indicates that the loss on the contingency is reasonably possible but the amount of loss cannot be 
reasonably estimated, a disclosure to this effect is made in the consolidated financial statements. In case of remote possibility, 
neither provision nor disclosure is made in the consolidated financial statements. The Group does not account for or disclose 
contingent assets, if any.

12.  Cash and cash equivalents

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

13. 

Investments
i) 

Investments of the Bank are accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines on investment classification and 
valuation as given below.
 a)  All investments are classified into ‘Held to Maturity’, ‘Available for Sale’ and ‘Held for Trading’. Reclassifications, if 

b) 

c) 

any, in any category are accounted for as per the RBI guidelines. 
Under  each  classification,  the  investments  are  further  classified  as  (a)  government  securities,  (b)  other  approved 
securities, (c) shares, (d) bonds and debentures and (e) others.
‘Held to Maturity’ securities are carried at their acquisition cost or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over 
the face value. Any premium over the face value of fixed rate and floating rate securities acquired is amortised over 
the remaining period to maturity on a constant yield basis and straight line basis respectively.
‘Available 
for  Trading’  securities  are  valued  periodically  as  per  RBI  guidelines.  
Any  premium  over  the  face  value  of  fixed  rate  and  floating  rate  investments  in  government  securities, 
classified  as  ‘Available  for  Sale’,  is  amortised  over  the  remaining  period  to  maturity  on  constant  yield  basis  
and straight line basis respectively. Quoted investments are valued based on the trades/quotes on the recognised  
list  of  RBI  or  prices  declared  
stock  exchanges,  subsidiary  general 

ledger  account  transactions,  price 

for  Sale’  and 

‘Held

by  Primary  Dealers  Association  of  India  jointly  with  Fixed  Income  Money  Market  and  Derivatives  Association 
(FIMMDA), periodically.
The market/fair value of unquoted government securities which are in the nature of Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) 
securities  included  in  the  ‘Available  for  Sale’  and  ‘Held  for  Trading’  categories  is  as  per  the  rates  published  by 
FIMMDA. The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities wherever linked to the Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) 
rates, is computed with a mark-up (reflecting associated credit risk) over the YTM rates for government securities 
published by FIMMDA.
Unquoted equity shares are valued at the break-up value, if the latest balance sheet is available or at ` 1 as per RBI 
guidelines.
Securities are valued scrip-wise and depreciation/appreciation is aggregated for each category. Net appreciation in 
each category, if any, being unrealised, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided for.

d)  Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition, are charged to 

e) 

the profit and loss account.
Profit  on  sale  of  investments  in  the  ‘Held  to  Maturity’  category  is  credited  to  the  profit  and  loss  account  and  is 
thereafter appropriated (net of applicable taxes and statutory reserve requirements) to Capital Reserve. Profit on sale of 
investments in ‘Available for sale’ and ‘Held for Trading’ categories is credited to profit and loss account.

f)  Market repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions 
in  accordance  with  the  extant  RBI  guidelines.  Transactions  with  RBI  under  Liquidity  Adjustment  Facility  (LAF)  are 
accounted for as sale and purchase transactions by the Bank.
Broken period interest (the amount of interest from the previous interest payment date till the date of purchase/sale 
of instruments) on debt instruments is treated as a revenue item.

g) 

h)  At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  security  receipts  issued  by  asset  reconstruction  companies  are  valued  in 
accordance with the guidelines applicable to such instruments, prescribed by RBI from time to time. Accordingly, 
in cases where the cash flows from security receipts issued by asset reconstruction companies are limited to the 
actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the concerned scheme, the Bank reckons the 
NAV, obtained from the asset reconstruction company from time to time, for valuation of such investments at each 
reporting period end.
The Bank follows trade date method of accounting for purchase and sale of investments, except government securities 
where settlement date method of accounting is followed from January 1, 2011 in accordance with RBI guidelines.

i) 

ii)  The  Bank’s  consolidating  venture  capital  funds  carry  investments  at  fair  values,  with  unrealised  gains  and  temporary 
losses  on  investments recognised as  components  of  investors’  equity and accounted for  in  the  unrealised investment 
reserve account. The realised gains and losses on investments and units in mutual funds and unrealised gains or losses 
on revaluation of units in mutual funds are accounted for in the profit and loss account. Provisions are made in respect 
of  accrued  income  considered  doubtful.  Such  provisions  as  well  as  any  subsequent  recoveries  are  recorded  through 
the profit and loss account. Subscription to/purchase of investments are accounted at the cost of acquisition inclusive 
of  brokerage,  commission  and  stamp  duty.  Bonus  shares  and  right  entitlements  are  recorded  when  such  benefits  are 
known. Quoted investments are valued on the valuation date at the closing market price. Quoted investments that are 
not traded on the valuation date but are traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are valued at the latest 
known closing price. An appropriate discount is applied where the asset management company considers it necessary 
to reflect restrictions on disposal. Quoted investments not traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are 
treated as unquoted. Unquoted investments are valued at their estimated fair values by applying appropriate valuation 
methods. Where there is a decline, other than temporary in the carrying amounts of investments, the resultant reduction 
in the carrying amount is charged to the profit and loss account during the period in which such decline is identified.
iii)  The  Bank’s  primary  dealership  and  securities  broking  subsidiaries  classify  their  investments  as  short-term  and  trading 
or as long-term investments. The securities held with the intention of holding for short-term and trading are classified 
as stock-in-trade and are valued at lower of cost arrived at on weighted average basis or market value. The securities 
acquired with the intention of holding till maturity or for a longer period are classified as long-term investments and are 
carried at cost arrived at on weighted average basis. Appropriate provision is made for other than temporary diminution 
in the value of investments. Commission earned in respect of securities acquired upon devolvement is reduced from the 
cost of acquisition.

iv)  The  Bank’s  housing  finance  subsidiary  classifies  its  investments  as  current  investments  and  long-term  investments. 
Investments  that  are  readily  realisable  and  intended  to  be  held  for  not  more  than  a  year  are  classified  as  current 
investments, which are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. All other investments are classified as long-
term investments, which are carried at cost. However, a provision for diminution in value is made to recognise any other 
than temporary decline in the value of such long-term investments. Costs such as brokerage, commission etc. paid at the 
time of acquisition of investments are included in the investment cost.

v)  The Bank’s United Kingdom and Canadian banking subsidiaries account for unrealised gain/loss, net of tax, on investment 
in ‘Available for Sale’ category directly in their reserves. Further, in the case of the Bank’s United Kingdom and Canadian 
banking subsidiaries, unrealised gain/loss on investment in ‘Held for Trading’ category is accounted directly in the profit 
and loss account.
In the case of life and general insurance businesses, investments are made in accordance with the Insurance Act, 1938, 
the IRDA (Investment) Regulations, 2000, and various other circulars/notifications issued by the IRDA in this context from 
time to time. 

vi) 

F70

  
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
schedules

forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)

In the case of life insurance business, valuation of investments (other than linked business) is done on the following basis:
 a.  All debt securities and redeemable preference shares are considered as ‘Held to Maturity’ and accordingly stated 
at historical cost, subject to amoritsation of premium or accretion of discount in the profit or loss account over the 
period of maturity/holding on a straight line basis.
Listed equity shares are stated at fair value being the last quoted closing price on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) 
[in case of securities not listed on NSE, the last quoted closing price on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is used]. 
Equity shares awaiting listing are stated at historical cost subject to provision for diminution, if any, in the value of 
such investment determined separately for each individual investment.

b. 

c.  Mutual  fund  units  at  the  balance  sheet  date  are  valued  at  the  latest  available  net  asset  values  of  the  

respective fund. 

Unrealised gains/losses arising due to changes in the fair value of listed equity shares and mutual fund units are taken to 
’Revenue and other reserves’ in the balance sheet for life insurance business. 
In the case of general insurance business, valuation of investments is done on the following basis:
a.  All debt securities including government securities and non-convertible preference shares are considered as ‘Held to 
Maturity’ and accordingly stated at amortised cost determined after amortisation of premium or accretion of discount 
on a straight line basis over the holding/maturity period. 
Listed equities and convertible preference shares at the balance sheet date are stated at fair value, being the lowest 
of last quoted closing price on NSE or BSE. 

b. 

c.  Mutual fund investments (other than venture capital fund) are stated at fair value, being the closing net asset value at 

balance sheet date.
Investments other than mentioned above are valued at cost. 

d. 
Unrealised gains/losses arising due to changes in the fair value of listed equity shares and mutual fund units are taken to 
’Revenue and other reserves’ in the balance sheet for general insurance business.
The general insurance subsidiary assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that any investment 
in equity or units of mutual fund may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the carrying value of such investment is 
reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognised in the revenue(s)/profit and loss account. If at 
the balance sheet date there is any indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, then such loss 
is reversed and the investment is restated to that extent.

The  total  proportion  of  investments  for  which  subsidiaries  have  applied  accounting  policies  different  from  the  Bank  as 
mentioned above, approximate 14.50% of the total investments at March 31, 2011.

14.  Provisions/write-offs on loans and other credit facilities

a)  All credit exposures, including overdues arising from crystallised derivative contracts, are classified as per RBI guidelines, 
into performing and NPAs. Further, NPAs are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria 
stipulated by RBI. 
In the case of corporate loans, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets at the rates prescribed by RBI. 
Loss assets and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are provided for/written off as per the extant RBI guidelines. 
Provisions on homogeneous retail loans, subject to minimum provisioning requirements of RBI, are assessed at a portfolio 
level on the basis of days past due. 
The  Bank  holds  specific  provisions  against  non-performing  loans  and  general  provision  against  performing  loans  and 
floating  provisions  taken  over  from    erstwhile  Bank  of  Rajasthan  upon  amalgamation.  The  assessment  of  incremental 
specific provisions is made after taking into consideration the existing specific provision held. The specific provisions on 
retail loans held by the Bank are higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.

b)  Provision on assets restructured/rescheduled is made in accordance with the applicable RBI guidelines on restructuring of 

advances by Banks. 
In respect of non-performing loan accounts subjected to restructuring, the account is upgraded to standard only after the 
specified period i.e. a period of one year after the date when first payment of interest or of principal, whichever is earlier, 
falls due, subject to satisfactory performance of the account during the period. 

c)  Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years and provisions no longer considered necessary in the context 

d) 

e) 

f) 

of the current status of the borrower are recognised in the profit and loss account.
In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, the Bank/the Bank’s housing finance subsidiary maintains a general provision 
on performing loans. The general provision covers the requirements of the RBI/NHB guidelines.
In  addition  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).  The  countries  are  categorised  into  seven  risk 
categories  namely  insignificant,  low,  moderate,  high,  very  high,  restricted  and  off-credit  and  provisioning  is  made  on 
exposures exceeding 180 days on a graded scale ranging from 0.25% to 100.00%. For exposures with contractual maturity 
of less than 180 days, provision is required to be held at 25.00% of the rates applicable to exposures exceeding 180 days. 
If the country exposure (net) of the Bank in respect of each country does not exceed 1.00% of the total funded assets, no 
provision is required on such country exposure.
In the case of the Bank’s housing finance subsidiary, loans and other credit facilities are classified as per the NHB guidelines 
into performing and non-performing assets. Further, NPAs are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based 
on criteria stipulated by NHB. Additional provisions are made against specific non-performing assets over and above what 
is stated above, if in the opinion of the management, increased provisions are necessary.

g) 

h) 

In the case of the Bank’s primary dealership subsidiary, the policy of provisioning against NPAs is as per the prudential 
norms  prescribed  by  RBI  for  non-banking  financial  companies.  As  per  the  policy  adopted,  the  provisions  against  sub-
standard  assets  are  determined,  taking  into  account  management’s  perception  of  the  higher  risk  associated  with  the 
business of the borrowers. Certain NPAs are considered as loss assets and full provision is made against such assets.
In  the  case  of  the  Bank’s  overseas  banking  subsidiaries,  loans  are  stated  net  of  allowance  for  credit  losses.  Loans  are 
classified as impaired when there is no longer reasonable assurance of the timely collection of the full amount of principal 
or interest. An allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb identified 
credit related losses as well as losses that have been incurred but are not yet identifiable. 

The total proportion of loans for which subsidiaries have applied accounting policies different from the Bank as mentioned 
above, approximate 13.00% of the total loans at March 31, 2011.

15.  Transfer and servicing of assets

The Bank transfers commercial and consumer loans through securitisation transactions. The transferred loans are de-recognised 
and gains/losses are accounted for only if the Bank surrenders the rights to benefits specified in the underlying securitised loan 
contract. Recourse and servicing obligations are accounted for net of provisions. 
In accordance with the RBI guidelines for securitisation of standard assets, with effect from February 1, 2006, the Bank accounts 
for any loss arising from securitisation immediately at the time of sale and the profit/premium arising from securitisation is 
amortised over the life of the securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle to which the assets are sold. In the 
case of loans sold to an asset reconstruction company, the excess provision is not reversed but is utilised to meet the shortfall/
loss on account of sale of other financial assets to securitisation company (SC)/reconstruction company (RC).

16.  Fixed assets and depreciation

Premises  and  other  fixed  assets  are  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Cost  includes  freight,  duties,  taxes  and 
incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the asset. Depreciation is charged over the estimated useful 
life of a fixed asset on a straight-line basis, the rates of depreciation for fixed assets are not lower than the rates prescribed in 
Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.
Depreciation on leased assets and leasehold improvements is recognised on a straight-line basis using rates determined with 
reference to the primary period of lease or rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is higher.
Assets purchased/sold during the period are depreciated on a pro-rata basis for the actual number of days the asset has been 
put to use.
In case of the Bank, items costing up to ` 5,000 are depreciated fully over a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.
In  case  of  revalued/impaired  assets,  depreciation  is  provided  over  the  remaining  useful  life  of  the  assets  with  reference  to 
revised values of the assets. 

17.  Accounting for derivative contracts

The Group enters into derivative contracts such as foreign currency options, interest rate and currency swaps, credit default 
swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps.
The swap contracts entered into to hedge on-balance sheet assets and liabilities are structured such that they bear an opposite 
and offsetting impact with the underlying on-balance sheet items. The impact of such derivative instruments is correlated with 
the movement of underlying assets and accounted pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting. Hedge swaps are accounted 
for on an accrual basis except in the case of the Bank’s United Kingdom and Canadian banking subsidiaries, where the hedging 
transactions and the hedged items (for the risks being hedged) are measured at fair value with changes recognised in the profit 
and loss account.
Foreign currency and rupee derivative contracts entered into for trading purposes are marked to market and the resulting gain/
loss, (net of provisions, if any) is accounted for in the profit and loss account. Pursuant to RBI guidelines, any receivables under 
derivative contracts which remain overdue for more than 90 days and mark-to-market gains on other derivative contracts with 
the same counter-parties are reversed through the profit and loss account. 

18. 

Impairment of assets
Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of 
an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying 
amount of an asset with future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered 
to be impaired, the impairment is recognised by debiting the profit and loss account and is measured as the amount by which 
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

19.  Lease transactions

Lease payments for assets taken on operating lease are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account over the lease term.

20.  Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed in accordance with AS 20 on ‘earnings per share’ issued by ICAI.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted 
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue equity shares were exercised or 
converted during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares 
and dilutive potential equity shares issued by the group outstanding during the year, except where the results are anti-dilutive.

(ASs) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines in this regard.

1. 

Amalgamation of The Bank of Rajasthan Limited

and licensed by RBI under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 was amalgamated with the Bank with effect from close of 
business of August 12, 2010 in terms of the Scheme of Amalgamation (the Scheme) approved by the RBI vide its order 
DBOD  No.  PSBD  2603/16.01.128/2010-11  dated  August  12,  2010  under  sub  section  (4)  of  section  44A  of  the  Banking 
Regulation Act, 1949. The consideration for the amalgamation was 25 equity shares of ICICI Bank of the face value of 
` 10 each fully paid-up for every 118 equity shares of ` 10 each of Bank of Rajasthan. Accordingly, ICICI Bank allotted 
31,323,951 equity shares to the shareholders of Bank of Rajasthan on August 26, 2010 and 2,860,170 equity shares which 
were earlier kept in abeyance pending civil appeal, on November 25, 2010.

ICICI  Bank  is  also  a  banking  company  incorporated  under  the  Companies  Act,  1956  and  licensed  by  RBI  under  the 
Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

As  per  the  Scheme,  the  undertaking  of  Bank  of  Rajasthan  including  all  its  assets  and  liabilities  stood  transferred/
deemed to be transferred to and vested in ICICI Bank as a going concern.

The amalgamation has been accounted for as per the Scheme. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Bank of Rajasthan 
have been accounted at the values at which they were appearing in the books of Bank of Rajasthan at August 12, 2010 and 
provisions were made for the difference between the book values appearing in the books of Bank of Rajasthan and the fair 
value as determined by ICICI Bank. In the books of ICICI Bank, an amalgamation expenses provision account was credited 
by an amount determined for the expenses and costs of the Scheme arising as a direct consequence on account of any 
changes in the business or operations of Bank of Rajasthan proposed or considered necessary by the Board of Directors 
of ICICI Bank (including but not limited to rationalisation, upgradation and enhancement of human resources and expenses 
relating  to  modifying  signage,  modifying  stationery,  branding,  changing  systems  and  network,  communication  including 
media  costs,  impairment  of  technology  and  fixed  assets,  conducting  general  meetings,  payment  of  listing  fees  and  other 
statutory and regulatory charges, travel in relation to the consolidation contemplated in the Scheme, valuation, due diligence, 
investment banking expenses and charges relating to preparation of the Scheme, consultations in relation to the consolidation 
contemplated  in  the  Scheme  and  training),  and  other  extraordinary  expenses  on  integration  and  consolidation  under  the 
Scheme, to be incurred by ICICI Bank and the balance in such account has been debited to the securities premium account.

Accordingly, the excess of the paid up value of shares issued over the fair value of the net asset acquired (including Statutory 
Reserves) of ` 1,440.1 million and amalgamation expenses of ` 657.8 million have been debited to the securities premium 
account. The computation of this amount is detailed in the table below separately.

Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  equity  share  are  computed  in  accordance  with  AS  20  on  ‘earnings  per  share’.  Basic 
earnings  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  profit  after  tax  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  equity  shares 
outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average number of 
equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the computation of earnings per share.

In terms of the ESOS, as amended, the maximum number of options granted to any eligible employee in a financial year 
shall not exceed 0.05% of the issued equity shares of the Bank at the time of grant of the options and aggregate of all 
such options granted to the eligible employees shall not exceed 5.00% of the aggregate number of the issued equity 
shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options. Under the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled 
to apply for equity shares. Options granted for fiscal 2003 and earlier years vest in a graded manner over a three-year 
period, with 20.00%, 30.00% and 50.00% of the grants vesting in each year commencing from the end of 12 months 
from the date of grant. Options granted for fiscal 2004 to 2008 vest in a graded manner over a four-year period, with 
20.00%, 20.00%, 30.00% and 30.00% of the grants vesting in each year commencing from the end of 12 months from 
the date of grant. Options granted in April 2009 vest in a graded manner over a five year period with 20.00%, 20.00%, 
30.00% and 30.00% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of grant. Options 
granted in March 2010 onwards would vest in a graded manner over a four year period with 20.00%, 20.00%, 30.00% 
and 30.00% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant. The options can 
be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. As per the 
scheme, the exercise price of the Bank’s options is the last closing price on the stock exchange, which recorded highest 
trading volume preceding the date of grant of options. Hence, there was no compensation cost based on intrinsic value 
of options.

In February 2011, the Bank granted 3,035,000 options to eligible employees and whole-time Directors of the Bank and 
certain of its subsidiaries at an exercise price of ` 967.00. Of these options granted 50.00% would vest on April 30, 2014 
and the balance 50.00% would vest on April 30, 2015. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of ` 2.9 
million was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2011.

If  ICICI  Bank  had  used  the  fair  value  of  options  based  on  binomial  tree  model,  compensation  cost  in  year  ended  
March 31, 2011 would have been higher by ` 905.8 million and proforma profit after tax would have been ` 50.60 billion. On 
a proforma basis, ICICI Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share would have been ` 44.47 and ` 44.27 respectively. The 
key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2011 are given below.

ICICI General:

ICICI  Lombard  General  Insurance  Company  has  formulated  various  ESOS  schemes  to  their  employees.  There  is  no 
compensation cost for the year ended March 31, 2011 based on the intrinsic value of options. If the entity had used the 
fair value of options based on the binomial tree model, compensation cost for the year ended March 31, 2011 would 
have been higher by ` 67.5 million (March 31, 2010: ` 37.6 million).

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take into consideration inflation, seniority, promotion 
and other relevant factors.

The guidance on implementing AS 15 on ‘employee benefits’ (revised 2005) issued by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) 
provides that exempt provident funds which require employers to meet the interest shortfall are in effect defined benefit 
plans. The Group’s actuary has informed that it is not practical to actuarially determine the interest shortfall obligation.

10.  Provision for income tax

The provision for income tax (including deferred tax) for the year ended March 31, 2011 amounted to  ` 20,684.9 million 
(March 31, 2010: ` 17,321.8 million). 

The Group has a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents required by transfer pricing legislation 
under sections 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The management is of the opinion that all international transactions are 
at arm’s length so that the above legislation will not have material impact on the financial statements.

11.  Deferred tax 

At March 31, 2011 the Group has recorded net deferred tax asset of ` 29,936.7 million (March 31, 2010: ` 24,842.1 million), 
which has been included in other assets.

Income,  expenses,  assets  and  liabilities  are  either  specifically  identified  with  individual  segments  or  are  allocated  to 
segments on a systematic basis.

All liabilities are transfer priced to a central treasury unit, which pools all funds and lends to the business units at appropriate 
rates based on the relevant maturity of assets being funded after adjusting for regulatory reserve requirements.

The results of reported segments for the year ended March 31, 2011 are not comparable with that of reported segments 
for the year ended March 31, 2010 to the extent entities have been discontinued from consolidation.

14.  Small and Micro Industries

Under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 which came into force from October 2, 2006, 
certain  disclosures  are  required  to  be  made  relating  to  enterprises  covered  under  the  Act.  During  the  year  ended  
March  31,  2011,  the amount paid after the due date  to  vendors  registered  under  the  MSMED  Act,  2006  was  `  17.9 
million (March 31, 2010: ` 65.2 million). An amount of ` 0.7 million (March 31, 2010: ` 1.7 million) has been charged to 
profit and loss account towards accrual of interest on these delayed payments.

15.  Transfer of merchant acquiring operations

During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2010,  the  Bank  and  First  Data,  a  company  engaged  in  electronic  commerce  and 
payment services, formed a merchant acquiring alliance and a new entity, 81.00% owned by First Data, was formed, 
which acquired ICICI Bank’s merchant acquiring operations through transfer of assets, primarily comprising fixed assets 
and receivables, and assumption of liabilities, for a total consideration of ` 3,744.0 million. This transfer of assets and 
liabilities to the new entity would be considered a ‘slump sale’ for tax purposes. The Bank realised a profit of ` 2,029.0 
million from this transaction, which was included in Schedule 14 – “Other income” for the year ended March 31, 2010.

16.  Repurchase transactions

Upto  March  31,  2010,  the  Bank  used  to  account  for  market  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase  transactions  in 
government securities and corporate debt securities, if any, as “sale and repurchase” transactions. However, as per RBI 
circular no. RBI/2009-2010/356 IDMD/ 4135/11.08.43/2009-10 dated March 23, 2010, the Bank has started accounting for 
such transactions as “borrowing and lending” transactions, effective April 1, 2010. 

If the Bank had continued to account the repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions as “sale and repurchase” at 
March 31, 2011, the investments would have been higher by ` 122.8 million and the ‘Balances with Banks and Money 
at call and short notice’ and ‘Borrowings’ would have been lower by ` 124.0 million and ` 1.2 million respectively.

Pursuant  to  above  guidelines,  ICICI  Securities  Primary  Dealership  Limited  has  also  started  accounting  for  such 
transactions  as  “borrowing  and  lending”  transactions,  effective  April  1,  2010.  If  ICICI  Securities  Primary  Dealership 
Limited  had  continued  to  account  the  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase  transactions  as  “sale  and  repurchase”  at  
March 31, 2011, the borrowing would have been higher by ` 21,895.9 million, the investment would have been higher 
by ` 21,831.0 million and interest accrued on investment would have been higher by ` 64.9 million.

17.  Settlement date accounting for government securities

Pursuant  to  RBI  circular  DBOD.No.BP.BC.58/21.04.141/2010-11  dated  November  4,  2010,  the  Bank  has  changed  the 
accounting for purchase and sale of government securities from trade date basis to settlement date basis with effect 
from  January  1,  2011.  Under  settlement  date  accounting,  the  purchase  and  sale  of  securities  are  recognised  in  the 
books on the date of settlement. The changes in fair value of investments between trade date and settlement date are 
recognised in case of purchased securities while such changes are ignored in case of securities sold. In case the Bank 
had continued to follow the trade date accounting, investments portfolio at March 31, 2011 would have been lower by 
` 655.2 million (net), the other assets would have been higher by ` 1,153.6 million, other liabilities would have been 
higher by ` 500.2 million and the impact on the profit and loss account would have been Nil.

18.  Contribution  to  Motor  Third  Party  Insurance  Pool  by  ICICI  Lombard  General  Insurance  Company  Limited  

(ICICI General)

In accordance with IRDA guidelines, ICICI General, together with all other general insurance companies participates in 
the Indian Motor Third Party Insurance Pool (‘the Pool’), administered by the General Insurance Corporation of India 
(‘GIC’) from April 1, 2007.  The Pool covers reinsurance of third party risks of commercial vehicles.  

ICICI General has ceded 100.00% of the third party premium collected to the Pool and has recorded its share of results 
in the Pool based on unaudited statements received from the Pool for the period from March 2010 upto February 2011.

Based on the statements received from the Pool, liability for IBNR claim for the Pool was provided in the past. During 
the current year, IRDA carried out independent assessment of the provision required and vide its order IRDA/NL/ORD/
MPL/046/03/2011 dated March 12, 2011 directed all general insurance companies to make a provision of not less than 
153.00% for each of the four years from the inception of the Pool (i.e. from 2007-08). Due to this, an additional provision 
of ` 2,720.0 million has been created during the current year by ICICI General.

Accordingly, the Bank’s consolidated net profit before tax for FY2011 includes impact of additional losses on account of 
the pool of ` 2,000.6 million.  IRDA has also indicated that there will be a peer review of the provisions requirement by 
independent actuary and further provisions, if any will be made once the review is completed. The impact of the same 
in the consolidated financial statements is presently not determinable.

In  view  of  above  developments,  IRDA  has  allowed  increase  in  the  rate  of  premium  applicable  to  Motor  Third  Party 
Liability insurance business by 68.50% with effect from April 25, 2011.

bAsel ii – pillAr 3 disClosures (ConsolidAted) 

at March 31, 2011

ICICI Bank is subject to the Basel II framework with effect from March 31, 2008 as stipulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). 
The Basel II framework consists of three-mutually reinforcing pillars:

(i)  Pillar 1: Minimum capital requirements for credit risk, market risk and operational risk

(ii)  Pillar 2: Supervisory review of capital adequacy

(iii)  Pillar 3: Market discipline

Market discipline (Pillar 3) comprises set of disclosures on the capital adequacy and risk management framework of the Bank. 
These disclosures have been set out in the following sections.

1.  SCOPE OF APPLICATION

Pillar 3 disclosures apply to ICICI Bank Limited and its consolidated entities, wherein ICICI Bank Limited is the controlling 
entity in the group. 

Basis of consolidation for capital adequacy 

Consolidation for capital adequacy is based on consolidated financial statements of ICICI Bank and its subsidiaries in line 
with the guidelines for consolidated accounting and other quantitative methods issued by RBI. 

The entities considered for consolidation for capital adequacy include subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of the 
Bank, which carry on activities of banking or financial nature as stated in the scope for preparing consolidated prudential 
reports as prescribed by RBI. Entities engaged in insurance business and businesses not pertaining to financial services 
are excluded from consolidation for capital adequacy. Investment above 30% in paid-up equity capital of financial entities 
which  are  not  consolidated  for  capital  adequacy  (including  insurance  entities)  and  investments  in  other  instruments 
eligible for regulatory capital status in those entities are deducted to the extent of 50% from Tier-1 and 50% from Tier-2 
capital.

The following table lists ICICI Bank’s financial and non-financial subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and other entities 
consolidated for preparation of consolidated financial statements and their treatment in consolidated capital adequacy 
computations.

2.  CAPITAL STRUCTURE 

a.  Summary information on main terms and conditions/features of capital instruments

As per the RBI capital adequacy norms, ICICI Bank’s regulatory capital is classified into Tier-1 capital and Tier-2 
capital.

Tier-1  capital  includes  paid-up  equity  capital,  statutory  reserves,  other  disclosed  free  reserves,  capital  reserves

Tier-2 instruments (upper Tier-2 bonds) and subordinate debt instruments (lower Tier-2 bonds) eligible for inclusion 
in Tier-2 capital. 

ICICI Bank and its subsidiaries have issued debt instruments that form a part of Tier-1 and Tier-2 capital. The terms 
and conditions that are applicable for these instruments comply with the stipulated regulatory requirements and 
where required an independent legal opinion has been obtained for inclusion of these instruments in capital.

The upper Tier-2 bonds are cumulative and have an original maturity of 15 years with call option after 10 years. 
The  interest  on  upper  Tier-2  bonds  is  payable  either  annually  or  semi-annually.  Some  of  the  upper  Tier-2  debt 
instruments have a step-up clause on interest payment ranging up to 100 basis points.

option  will  not  be  eligible  for  inclusion  in  the  capital  funds.  Capital  issuances  with  step-up  option  prior  to  the 
release of the above-mentioned circular would continue to remain eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital. The 
Bank is in compliance with this stipulation and the existing Tier-1 and Tier-2 capital instruments with step-up option 
have all been issued prior to January 20, 2011.

The Bank actively manages its capital to meet regulatory norms and current and future business needs considering 
the risks in its businesses, expectation of rating agencies, shareholders and investors, and the available options of 
raising capital. 

Organisational set-up

The capital management framework of the Bank is administered by the Finance Group and the Risk Management 
Group (RMG) under the supervision of the Board and the Risk Committee.

Regulatory capital

The Bank is subject to the capital adequacy norms stipulated by the RBI guidelines on Basel II. The RBI guidelines 
on Basel II require the Bank to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of 9.0%, with a 
minimum Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 6.0%. The total capital adequacy ratio of the Bank at a standalone level at 
March 31, 2011 as per the RBI guidelines on Basel II is 19.54% with a Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 13.17%. The 
total capital adequacy ratio of the ICICI Group (consolidated) at March 31, 2011 as per the RBI guidelines on Basel 
II is 19.92% with a Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 12.72%.

Under Pillar 1 of the RBI guidelines on Basel II, the Bank follows the standardised approach for credit and market 
risk and basic indicator approach for operational risk. 

Internal assessment of capital

The  Bank’s  capital  management  framework  includes  a  comprehensive  internal  capital  adequacy  assessment 
process (ICAAP) conducted annually and which determines the adequate level of capitalisation for the Bank to meet 
regulatory norms and current and future business needs, including under stress scenarios. The ICAAP is formulated 
at both standalone bank level and the consolidated group level. The ICAAP encompasses capital planning for a four 
year time horizon, identification and measurement of material risks and the relationship between risk and capital.

The Bank’s capital management framework is complemented by its risk management framework (detailed in the 
following sections), which includes a comprehensive assessment of material risks.

Stress  testing  which  is  a  key  aspect  of  the  ICAAP  and  the  risk  management  framework  provides  an  insight  on 
the impact of extreme but plausible scenarios on the Bank’s risk profile and capital position. Based on the Board-
approved stress testing framework, the Bank conducts stress tests on its various portfolios and assesses the impact

bAsel ii – pillAr 3 disClosures (ConsolidAted) 

at March 31, 2011

on  its  capital  ratios  and  the  adequacy  of  capital  buffers  for  current  and  future  periods.  The  Bank  periodically 
assesses and refines its stress tests in an effort to ensure that the stress scenarios capture material risks as well as 
reflect possible extreme market moves that could arise as a result of market conditions. 

The business and capital plans and the stress testing results of the group entities are integrated into the ICAAP. 

Based on the ICAAP, the Bank determines its capital needs and the optimum level of capital by considering the 
following in an integrated manner:

 regulatory capital requirements as per the RBI guidelines;

 assessment of material risks and impact of stress testing; 

 Bank’s strategic focus, business plan and growth objectives;

•	
•	
•	
•	
•	
•	 evaluation of options to raise capital from domestic and overseas markets, as permitted by RBI from time to time. 

 future strategy with regard to investments or divestments in subsidiaries; and

 perception of credit rating agencies, shareholders and investors;

The Bank formulates its internal capital level targets based on the ICAAP and endeavours to maintain its capital 
adequacy level in accordance with the targeted levels at all times.

  Monitoring and reporting

The Board of Directors of ICICI Bank maintains an active oversight over the Bank’s capital adequacy levels. On a 
quarterly basis an analysis of the capital adequacy position and the risk weighted assets and an assessment of the 
various aspects of Basel II on capital and risk management as stipulated by RBI, are reported to the Board. Further, 
the capital adequacy position of the banking subsidiaries and the significant non-banking subsidiaries based on 
the respective host regulatory requirements is also reported to the Board. In line with the RBI requirements for 
consolidated prudential report, the capital adequacy position of the ICICI Group (consolidated) is reported to the 
Board on a half-yearly basis.

Further, the ICAAP which is an annual process also serves as a mechanism for the Board to assess and monitor the 
Bank’s and the Group’s capital adequacy position over a four year time horizon. 

Capital adequacy of the subsidiaries

Each  subsidiary  in  the  Group  assesses  the  adequate  level  of  capitalisation  required  to  meet  its  respective  host 
regulatory requirements and business needs. The Board of each subsidiary maintains oversight over the capital 
adequacy framework for the subsidiary either directly or through separately constituted committees. 

Basel III

In order to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector to potential future shocks, together with ensuring adequate 
liquidity in the banking system, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued the Basel III proposals 
on December 17, 2009. Following a consultation phase on these proposals, the final set of Basel III rules were issued 
on December 16, 2010. The Basel III rules on capital consist of measures on improving the quality, consistency 
and  transparency  of  capital,  enhancing  risk  coverage,  introducing  a  supplementary  leverage  ratio,  reducing 
procyclicality and promoting countercyclical buffers, and addressing systemic risk and interconnectedness. The 
Basel III rules on liquidity consist of a measure of short-term liquidity coverage ratio aimed at building liquidity 
buffers to meet stress situations and a measure of long-term net stable funding ratio aimed at promoting longer 
term structural funding. BCBS has stipulated a phased implementation of the Basel III framework between January 
1, 2013 and January 1, 2019. 

Guidelines on Basel III framework for the Indian banking system are awaited from RBI. The Bank continues to monitor 
developments on the Basel III framework and believes that its current robust capital adequacy position, adequate 
headroom currently available to raise hybrid/debt capital, demonstrated track record of access to domestic and 
overseas markets for capital raising and adequate flexibility in its balance sheet structure and business model will 
enable it to adapt to the Basel III framework, as and when it is implemented.

4.  RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

As a financial intermediary, the Bank is exposed to various types of risks including credit, market, liquidity, operational, 
legal, compliance and reputation risks. The objective of the risk management framework at the Bank is to ensure that 
various  risks  are  understood,  measured  and  monitored  and  that  the  policies  and  procedures  established  to  address 
these risks are strictly adhered to. 

The key principles underlying the risk management framework at the Bank are as follows:

1.  The Board of Directors has oversight on all the risks assumed by the Bank. Specific Committees of the Board have 
been constituted to facilitate focused oversight of various risks. The Risk Committee reviews the risk management 
policies in relation to various risks and the Bank’s compliance with risk management guidelines stipulated by the 
RBI and of the status of implementation of the advanced approaches under the Basel framework. It reviews key risk 
indicators covering areas such as credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, operational and 
outsourcing risks and the limits framework, including stress test limits for various risks. The Risk Committee also 
reviews the risk profile of the overseas banking subsidiaries annually. Credit Committee reviews developments in 
key industrial sectors and the Bank’s exposure to these sectors and various portfolios on a periodic basis. Audit 
Committee provides direction to and also monitors the quality of the internal audit function.

framework for each type of risk. The business activities are undertaken within this policy framework.

3. 

Independent groups and sub-groups have been constituted across the Bank to facilitate independent evaluation, 
monitoring and reporting of various risks. These control groups function independently of the business groups/
sub-groups.

The risk management framework forms the basis of developing consistent risk principles across the Bank, overseas 
branches and overseas banking subsidiaries. 

  Material risks are identified, measured, monitored and reported to the Board of Directors and Board level committees 

through the following:

a.  Key risk indicators

  Key  risk  indicators  are  presented  to  the  Risk  Committee  on  a  periodic  basis.  The  presentation  covers  an 
overview of the key developments in the global and domestic economy as well as trends observed in the major 
industries where the Bank has an exposure. Additionally, risk indicators with respect to credit risk, liquidity risk 
and market risk are also presented and discussed.  

b.  ICAAP/stress testing

  As  part  of  ICAAP,  the  Bank  conducts  stress  testing  under  various  historical  and  hypothetical  scenarios  to 
assess the impact of stress on current and projected capital positions. The methodology for the stress testing 
is  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  results  of  stress  testing  are  reported  to  the  Board  of  Directors 
and submitted to RBI annually as part of the ICAAP. As detailed in the ICAAP, stress test results are reported 
periodically for various risks to the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO). 

c.  Stress tolerance limits

In line with various risk limits applicable for the Bank’s portfolios, stress tolerance limits have been formulated  
for  various  risks.  The  actual  position/utilisation  against  the  limits  is  periodically  reported  to  Board  level 
committees/ALCO.  

d.  Risk profile templates 

  Bank-wide risk dashboard covering various risks of the Bank is presented to the Risk Committee and to the 
Board on a quarterly basis. The risk dashboard provides the level and the direction of risk at Bank level with 
a comparison to the previous quarter. The level and direction of risk are arrived at based on pre-determined 
parameters. 

e.  Other Reviews by Credit Committee

Apart from sanctioning proposals, the Credit Committee carries out reviews of the credit quality of the portfolio at 
regular intervals. The Committee also reviews specific cases that need special attention, details of credit sanctions, 
irregularity  reports  and  movement  in  non-performing  loans.  Further,  the  Committee  reviews  developments  in 
industrial sectors and specific strategies of the Bank with respect to the exposure to those industries. 

f.  Reporting against prudential exposure norms

Status  of  actual  position  against  prudential  exposure  limits  set  by  the  Board  or  stipulated  by  RBI  is  reported 
periodically to respective committees. 

Measurement of risks for capital adequacy purposes

Under Pillar 1 of the extant RBI guidelines on Basel II, the Bank currently follows the standardised approach for credit 
and market risk and basic indicator approach for operational risk. 

5.  CREDIT RISK 

The Bank is exposed to credit risk in its lending operations. Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the failure 
of any counterparty to abide by the terms and conditions of any financial contract with the Bank, principally the failure 
to make required payments as per the terms and conditions of the contracts.

Policies and processes

All credit risk related aspects are governed by Credit and Recovery Policy (Credit Policy). Credit Policy outlines the type 
of products that can be offered, customer categories, target customer profile, credit approval process and limits. The 
Credit Policy is approved by the Board of Directors.

The delegation structure for approval of credit limits is approved by the Board of Directors. All credit proposals other 
than retail products, program lending and certain other specified products are rated internally by the Risk Management 
Group (RMG) prior to approval by the appropriate forum. 

Credit facilities with respect to retail products are provided as per approved product policies. All retail products and 
policies require the approval of the Committee of Executive Directors.
•	 Within the retail operations, there is segregation of the sourcing, verification, approval and disbursement of retail 

credit exposures to achieve independence. 

•	 Program lending involves a cluster based approach wherein a lending program is implemented for a homogeneous 
group of individuals/business entities which comply with certain laid down parameterised norms. The approving 
authority as per the Board approved authorisation lays down these parameters. 

•	 For  certain  products  including  dealer  funding,  builder  finance  and  facilities  fully  collateralised  by  cash  and  cash 
equivalents, the delegation structure approved by the Board of Directors may permit exemption from the stipulation 
pertaining to internal rating, up to a certain loan amount. Credit approval limits with respect to such products are 
laid out in the delegation structure approved by the Board of Directors.

A risk based asset review framework has been put in place wherein the frequency of asset review would be higher for 
cases with higher outstanding and/or lower credit rating.

Structure and organisation 

RMG  is  responsible  for  rating  of  the  credit  portfolio,  tracking  trends  in  various  industries  and  periodic  reporting  of 
portfolio-level  changes.  RMG  is  segregated  into  sub-groups  for  corporate,  small  enterprises,  rural  and  agri-linked 
banking group and retail businesses.

The  overseas  banking  subsidiaries  of  the  Bank  have  also  established  similar  structures  to  ensure  adequate  risk 
management, factoring in the risks particular to the respective businesses and the regulatory and statutory guidelines. 
The  risk  heads  of  all  overseas  banking  subsidiaries  have  a  reporting  relationship  to  the  Head  -  RMG,  in  addition  to 
reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the respective subsidiaries.

Credit risk assessment process

There  is  a  structured  and  standardised  credit  approval  process  including  a  comprehensive  credit  risk  assessment 
process, which encompasses analysis of relevant quantitative and qualitative information to ascertain credit rating of 
the borrower. 

The credit rating process involves assessment of risk emanating from various sources such as industry risk, business 
risk, financial risk, management risk, project risk and structure risk.  

In respect of retail advances, the Bank’s credit officers evaluate credit proposals on the basis of the operating notes 
approved by the Committee of Executive Directors and the risk assessment criteria defined by RMG.

Credit approval authorisation structure 

The Board of Directors has delegated the authority to the Credit Committee consisting of a majority of independent 
Directors,  the  Committee  of  Executive  Directors  consisting  of  whole  time  Directors,  the  Committee  of  Senior 
Management  consisting  of  whole  time  directors  and  Group  Executives,  the  Committee  of  Executives,  the  Regional 
Committee, Small and Medium Enterprise and corporate Agriculture Forums and Retail Credit Forums, all consisting of 
designated executives, and to individual executives in the case of program/policy based products, to approve financial 
assistance within certain individual and group exposure limits set by the Board of Directors. The authorisation is based

bAsel ii – pillAr 3 disClosures (ConsolidAted) 

at March 31, 2011

on the level of risk and the quantum of exposure, to ensure that the transactions with higher exposure and level of risk 
are put up to correspondingly higher forum/committee for approval.

In respect of retail loans, all product-level policies require the approval of the Committee of Executive Directors. The 
criteria incorporated in these policies vary across product segments but typically include factors such as the borrower’s 
income,  the  loan-to-value  ratio  and  demographic  parameters.  The  individual  credit  proposals  are  evaluated  and 
approved by executives on the basis of the product policies.

Credit risk monitoring process

For effective monitoring of credit facilities, a post-approval authorisation structure has been laid down. For corporate, 
small enterprises and rural and agriculture linked banking business, Credit Middle Office Group verifies adherence to 
the terms of the approval prior to commitment and disbursement of credit facilities. 

  Within  retail,  the  Bank  has  established  centralised  operations  to  manage  operational  risk  in  the  various  back  office 
processes of the Bank’s retail loan business except for a few operations, which are decentralised to improve turnaround 
time for customers. A fraud prevention and control group has been set up to manage fraud-related risks through fraud 
prevention and through recovery of fraud losses. The fraud control group evaluates various external agencies involved 
in  the  retail  finance  operations,  including  direct  marketing  associates,  external  verification  associates  and  collection 
agencies. 

The Bank has a collections unit structured along various product lines and geographical locations, to manage delinquency 
levels.  The collections unit operates under the guidelines of a standardised recovery process.

The segregation of responsibilities and oversight by groups external to the business groups ensure adequate checks 
and balances. 

Reporting and measurement

Credit  exposure  for  the  Bank  is  measured  and  monitored  using  a  centralised  exposure  management  system.  The 
analysis of the composition of the portfolio is presented to the Risk Committee on a quarterly basis.

The Bank complies with the norms on exposure stipulated by RBI for both single borrower as well as borrower group at 
the consolidated level. Limits have been set as a percentage of the Bank’s consolidated capital funds and are regularly 
monitored.  The  utilisation  against  specified  limits  is  reported  to  the  Committee  of  Executive  Directors  and  Credit 
Committee on a periodic basis.

Credit concentration risk

Credit concentration risk arises mainly on account of concentration of exposures under various categories including 
industry, products, geography, sensitive sectors, underlying collateral nature and single/group borrower exposures. 

Limits have been stipulated on single borrower, borrower group, industry and longer tenure exposure to a borrower 
group.  Exposure  to  top  10  borrowers  and  borrower  groups,  exposure  to  capital  market  segment  and  unsecured 
exposures for the ICICI Group (consolidated) is reported to the Board level committees on a quarterly basis. Limits on 
countries and bank counterparties have also been stipulated.

Definition and classification of non-performing assets (NPAs)

The Bank classifies its advances (loans and debentures in the nature of an advance) into performing and non-performing 
loans in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. 

A NPA is defined as a loan or an advance where:

i) 

interest and/or installment of principal remain overdue for more than 90 days in respect of a term loan. Any amount 
due to the bank under any credit facility is ‘overdue’ if it is not paid on the due date fixed by the Bank;

ii) 

if the interest due and charged during a quarter is not serviced fully within 90 days from the end of the quarter;

bAsel ii – pillAr 3 disClosures (ConsolidAted) 

at March 31, 2011

iii) 

the  account  remains  ‘out  of  order’  in  respect  of  an  overdraft/cash  credit  facility  continuously  for  90  days.  An 
account is treated as ‘out of order’ if:

a.  the outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit/drawing power; or

b.  where  the  outstanding  balance  in  the  principal  operating  account  is  less  than  the  sanctioned  limit/drawing 

power, but there are no credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of the balance sheet; or

c.  credits in the account are not enough to cover the interest debited during the accounting period; or

d.  drawings  have  been  permitted  in  the  account  for  a  continuous  period  of  90  days  based  on  drawing  power 
computed on the basis of stock statements that are more than three months old even though the unit may be 
working or the borrower’s financial position is satisfactory; or 

e.  the regular/ad hoc credit limits have not been reviewed/renewed within 180 days from the due date/date of ad 

hoc  sanction.

iv)  a bill purchased/discounted by the Bank remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days; 

v) 

interest and/or installment of principal in respect of an agricultural loan remains overdue for two crop seasons for 
short duration crops and one crop season for long duration crops;

vi) 

In respect of a securitisation transaction undertaken in terms of the RBI guidelines on securitisation, the amount of 
liquidity facility remains outstanding for more than 90 days;

vii)  In  respect  of  derivative  transactions,  if  the  overdue  receivables  representing  positive  mark-to-market  value  of  a 

derivative contract, remain unpaid for a period of 90 days from the specified due date for payment.

Further, NPAs are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by RBI. A sub-
standard asset is one, which has remained a NPA for a period less than or equal to 12 months. An asset is classified as 
doubtful if it has remained in the sub-standard category for more than 12 months. A loss asset is one where loss has 
been identified by the Bank or internal or external auditors or during RBI inspection but the amount has not been written 
off fully. 

Restructured assets

As  per  RBI  guidelines,  a  fully  secured  standard  loan  can  be  restructured  by  rescheduling  principal  repayments  and/
or  the  interest  element,  but  must  be  separately  disclosed  as  a  restructured  loan  in  the  year  of  restructuring.  Similar 
guidelines apply to restructuring of substandard and doubtful loans. 

A sub-standard asset, which has been restructured, will be upgraded to the standard category only after a satisfactory 
performance of the borrower over a period of time. The RBI has specified the period to be one year from date when the 
instalment/ interest falls due as per the rescheduled scheme.

a.  Credit risk exposures (March 31, 2011) 

Credit risk exposures (excluding specific risk on available-for-sale and held-for-trading portfolio) include all credit 
exposures as per RBI guidelines on exposure norms and investments in the held-to-maturity category. Domestic 
sovereign  exposures  that  are  risk-weighted  at  zero  percent  and  exposures  to  regulatory  capital  instruments  of 
subsidiaries that are deducted from the capital funds have been excluded.

6.  CREDIT RISK: PORTFOLIOS SUBJECT TO THE STANDARDISED APPROACH 

a.  External ratings

The Bank uses the standardised approach to measure the capital requirements for credit risk.  As per the standardised 
approach, regulatory capital requirements for credit risk on corporate exposures is measured based on external 
credit ratings assigned by External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI) specified by RBI in its guidelines on Basel 
II. As stipulated by RBI, the risk weights for resident corporate exposures are assessed based on the external ratings 
assigned by domestic ECAI and the risk weights for non-resident corporate exposures are assessed based on the 
external ratings assigned by international ECAI. For this purpose, the domestic ECAI specified by RBI are CRISIL 
Limited, Credit Analysis & Research Limited, ICRA Limited and Fitch India and the international ECAI specified by 
RBI are Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. Further, the RBI’s Basel II framework stipulates guidelines on the 
scope and eligibility of application of external ratings. The Bank reckons the external rating on the exposure for risk 
weighting purposes, if the external rating assessment complies with the guidelines stipulated by RBI. 

The key aspects of the Bank’s external ratings application framework are as follows:

•	 The Bank uses only those ratings that have been solicited by the counterparty.
•	 Foreign sovereign and foreign bank exposures are risk-weighted based on issuer ratings assigned to them.
•	 The risk-weighting of corporate exposures based on the external credit ratings includes the following:

i.  The Bank reckons external ratings of corporates either at the credit facility level or at the borrower (issuer) 
level. The Bank considers the facility rating where both the facility and the borrower rating are available 
given the more specific nature of the facility credit assessment. 

ii.  The Bank ensures that the external rating of the facility/borrower has been reviewed at least once by the 

ECAI during the previous 15 months and is in force on the date of its application.

iii.  When a borrower is assigned a rating that maps to a risk weight of 150%, then this rating is applied on all 

the unrated facilities of the borrower and risk weighted at 150%.

iv.  Unrated short-term claim on counterparty is assigned a risk weight of at least one level higher than the risk 

weight applicable to the rated short term claim on that counterparty. 

•	 The RBI guidelines outline specific conditions for facilities that have multiple ratings. In this context, the lower 
rating, where there are two ratings and the second-lowest rating where there are three or more ratings are used 
for a given facility. 

b.  Credit exposures by risk weights

At  March  31,  2011,  the  credit  exposures  subject  to  the  Standardised  approach  after  adjusting  for  credit  risk 
mitigation by risk weights were as follows:

7.  CREDIT RISK MITIGATION 

a.  Collateral management and credit risk mitigation 

The Bank has a Board approved policy framework for collateral management and credit risk mitigation techniques, 
which include among other aspects guidelines on acceptable types of collateral, ongoing monitoring of collateral 
including the frequency and basis of valuation and application of credit risk mitigation techniques. 

Collateral management

Overview

The Bank defines collateral as the assets or rights provided to the Bank by the borrower or a third party in order to 
secure a credit facility. The Bank would have the rights of secured creditor in respect of the assets/contracts offered 
as security for the obligations of the borrower/obligor. The Bank ensures that the underlying documentation for the 
collateral provides the bank appropriate rights over the collateral or other forms of credit enhancement including 
the right to liquidate, retain or take legal possession of it in a timely manner in the event of default by the counter 
party. The Bank also endeavours to keep the assets provided as security to the Bank under adequate insurance 
during the tenor of the Bank’s exposure. The collateral value is monitored periodically. 

Collateral valuation 

As stipulated by the RBI guidelines, the Bank uses the comprehensive approach for collateral valuation. Under this 
approach, the Bank reduces its credit exposure to counterparty when calculating its capital requirements to the 
extent of risk mitigation provided by the eligible collateral as specified in the Basel II guidelines.

The Bank adjusts the value of any collateral received to adjust for possible future fluctuations in the value of the 
collateral in line with the requirements specified by RBI guidelines. These adjustments, also referred to as ‘haircuts’, 
to produce volatility-adjusted amounts for collateral, are reduced from the exposure to compute the capital charge 
based on the applicable risk weights. 

Types of collateral taken by the Bank

The Bank determines the appropriate collateral for each facility based on the type of product and risk profile of 
the  counterparty.  In  case  of  corporate  and  small  and  medium  enterprises  financing,  fixed  assets  are  generally 
taken as security for long tenor loans and current assets for working capital finance. For project finance, security 
of the assets of the borrower and assignment of the underlying project contracts is generally taken. In addition, in 
some cases, additional security such as pledge of shares, cash collateral, charge on receivables with an escrow 
arrangement and guarantees is also taken.

For retail products, the security to be taken is defined in the product policy for the respective products. Housing 
loans and automobile loans are secured by the security of the property/automobile being financed. The valuation 
of the properties is carried out by an empanelled valuer at the time of sanctioning the loan.

The  Bank  also  offers  products  which  are  primarily  based  on  collateral  such  as  shares,  specified  securities, 
warehoused commodities and gold jewellery. These products are offered in line with the approved product policies 
which include types of collateral, valuation and margining.

The Bank extends unsecured facilities to clients for certain products such as derivatives, credit cards and personal 
loans. The limits with respect to unsecured facilities have been approved by the Board of Directors.  

The decision on the type and quantum of collateral for each transaction is taken by the credit approving authority 
as per the credit approval authorisation approved by the Board of Directors. For facilities provided as per approved 
product policies (retail products, loan against shares etc.), collateral is taken in line with the policy.

Credit risk mitigation techniques

The  RBI  guidelines  on  Basel  II  allow  the  following  credit  risk  mitigants  to  be  recognised  for  regulatory  capital 
purposes:

•	 Eligible financial collateral which include cash (deposited with the Bank), gold (including bullion and jewellery, 
subject to collateralised jewellery being benchmarked to 99.99% purity), securities issued by Central and State 
Governments, Kisan Vikas Patra, National Savings Certificates, life insurance policies with a declared surrender 
value  issued  by  an  insurance  company  which  is  regulated  by  the  insurance  sector  regulator,  certain  debt 
securities, mutual fund units where daily net asset value  is available in public domain and the mutual fund is 
limited to investing in the instruments listed above.

•	 On-balance  sheet  netting,  which  is  confined  to  loans/advances  and  deposits,  where  banks  have  legally 

enforceable netting arrangements, involving specific lien with proof of documentation.

•	 Guarantees,  where  these  are  direct,  explicit,  irrevocable  and  unconditional.  Further,  the  eligible  guarantors 

would comprise:

-  Sovereigns, sovereign entities stipulated in the RBI guidelines on Basel II, bank and primary dealers with a 

lower risk weight than the counterparty; and

-  Other entities, which are rated AA(-) or better.

The Bank reckons the permitted credit risk mitigants for obtaining capital relief only when the credit risk mitigant 
fulfills the conditions stipulated for eligibility and legal certainty by RBI in its guidelines on Basel II.

Concentrations within credit risk mitigation

The RBI guidelines, among its conditions for eligible credit risk mitigants, require that there should not be a material 
positive correlation between the credit quality of the counterparty and the value of the collateral being considered. 
RMG conducts the assessment of the aspect of material positive correlation on cases referred to it and accordingly 
evaluates the eligibility of the credit risk mitigant for obtaining capital relief. Currently, the Bank does not have any 
concentration risk within credit risk mitigation.

b.  Portfolio covered by eligible financial collateral (March 31, 2011)

8.  SECURITISATION 

a.  Securitisation objectives, roles played by the Bank and the risks 

Objectives 

The  Bank’s  primary  objective  of  securitisation  activities  is  to  increase  the  efficiency  of  capital  and  enhance  the 
return on capital employed by diversifying sources of funding.

Roles played by the Bank

In securitisation transactions backed by assets either originated by the Bank or third parties, the Bank plays the 
following major roles:

•	 Underwriter: allowing un-subscribed  portions of  securitised  debt  issuances,  if  any  to  devolve  on the Bank, 

with the intent of selling at a later stage.

bAsel ii – pillAr 3 disClosures (ConsolidAted) 

at March 31, 2011

•	

Investor/trader/market-maker: acquiring investment grade securitised debt instruments backed by financial 
assets originated by third parties for purposes of investment/trading/market-making with the aim of developing 
an active secondary market in securitised debt.

•	 Structurer:  structuring  appropriately  in  a  form  and  manner  suitably  tailored  to  meet  investor  requirements 

while being compliant with extant regulations.

•	 Provider  of  liquidity  facilities:  addressing  temporary  mismatches  on  account  of  the  timing  differences 
between the receipt of cash flows from the underlying performing assets and the fulfillment of obligations to 
the beneficiaries.

•	 Provider  of  credit  enhancement  facilities:  addressing  delinquencies  associated  with  the  underlying  assets, 
i.e.  bridging  the  gaps  arising  out  of  credit  considerations  between  cash  flows  received/collected  from  the 
underlying assets and the fulfillment of repayment obligations to the beneficiaries.

•	 Provider  of  collection  and  processing  services:  collecting  and/or  managing  receivables  from  underlying 
obligors,  contribution  from  the  investors  to  securitisation  transactions,  making  payments  to  counterparties/
appropriate beneficiaries, reporting the collection efficiency and other performance parameters and providing 
other services relating to collections and payments as may be required for the purpose of the transactions.

Risks in securitisation

The major risks inherent in the securitised transactions are:

•	

 Credit  risk:  Risk  arising  on  account  of  payment  delinquencies  from  underlying  obligors/borrowers  in  the 
assigned pool. 

•	 Market risk:

i)  Liquidity  risk:  Risk  arising  on  account  of  lack  of  secondary  market  to  provide  ready  exit  options  to  the 

investors/participants.

ii) 

 Interest rate/currency risk: Mark to market risks arising on account of interest rate/currency fluctuations.

•	 Operational risk:

i)   Co-mingling  risk:  Risk  arising  on  account  of  comingling  of  funds  belonging  to  investor(s)  with  that  of 
the  originator  and/or  collection  and  processing  servicer  when  there  exist  a  time  lag  between  collecting 
amounts due from the obligors and payment made to the investors.

ii)   Performance risk: Risk arising on account of the inability of a Collection and Processing Agent to collect 

monies from the underlying obligors as well as operational difficulties in processing the payments.

iii)  Regulatory and legal risk: Risk arising on account of 

–  non-compliance of the transaction structures with the extant applicable laws which may result in the 

transaction(s) being rendered invalid; 

– 

conflict between the provisions of the transaction documents with those of the underlying financial 
facility agreements; and 

–  non-enforceability  of  security/claims  due  to  imperfection  in  execution  of  the  underlying  facility 

agreements with the borrower(s). 

•	

 Reputation risk: Risk arising on account of 

i) 

rating downgrade of a securitised instrument due to unsatisfactory performance of the underlying asset 
pool; and 

ii) 

inappropriate practices followed by the collection and processing agent.  

In  addition  to  the  above,  securitised  assets  are  exposed  to  prepayment  and  pipeline  and  warehousing  risks. 
Prepayment  risk  arises  on  account  of  prepayment  of  dues  by  obligors/borrowers  in  the  assigned  pool  either  in 
part or full. Pipeline and warehousing risks refer to the event where originating banks are unable to off-load assets, 
which were originated with an intention of selling thus potentially exposing them to losses arising on declining 
values of these assets. The Bank does not follow the “originate to distribute” model and hence is not exposed to 
the pipeline and warehousing risks.

Processes in place to monitor change in risks of securitisation exposures

The Bank has established appropriate risk management processes to monitor the risks on securitisation exposures, 
which include:

•	 Monitoring credit risk

The Bank in the capacity of collection and processing agent prepares monthly performance reports which are 
circulated to investors/assignees/rating agencies. The securitised pools are continuously monitored and those 
requiring attention are subjected to specific interventions (e.g. focused collection efforts in affected geographies 
etc.) to improve their performance.

The  risk  assessment  of  the  pools  is  done  continuously  by  the  rating  agencies  based  on  amortisation  level, 
collection efficiency, credit enhancement utilisation levels and credit cover available for balance deal tenor.

•	

 Monitoring market risk

The Bank ascertains market value of the securitisation exposures based on extant norms which is compared 
with their book value to assess the marked to market impact of these exposures monthly.

Bank’s policy governing the use of credit risk mitigation to mitigate the risks retained through securitisation 
exposures

The Bank has not used credit risk mitigants to mitigate retained risks.

b.  Summary of the Bank’s accounting policies for securitisation activities

  Whether the transactions are treated as sales or financings 

The Bank transfers commercial and consumer loans through securitisation transactions. The transferred loans are 
de-recognised and gains/losses are accounted for only if the Bank surrenders the rights to benefits specified in the 
underlying securitised loan contract. Recourse and servicing obligations are accounted for net of provisions.                      

In accordance with the RBI guidelines for securitisation of standard assets, with effect from February 1, 2006, the 
Bank accounts for any loss arising from securitisation immediately at the time of sale and the profit/premium arising 
from securitisation is amortised over the life of the securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle 
to which the assets are sold.

  Methods and key assumptions (including inputs) applied in valuing positions retained or purchased

The valuation of the retained interests in the form of pass-through certificates (PTCs) is based on the projected 
cash flows as received from the issuer, which are present valued using the Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) rates, which 
are computed with a mark-up (reflecting associated credit risk) over the YTM rates for government securities as 
published by Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association (FIMMDA). 

The retained/purchased interests in the form of subordinate contributions are carried at book value.

There  is  no  change  in  the  methods  and  key  assumptions  applied  in  valuing  retained/purchased  interests  from 
previous year.

Policies for recognising liabilities on the balance sheet for arrangements that could require the bank to provide 
financial support for securitised assets  

The Bank provides credit enhancements in the form of cash deposits or guarantees in its securitisation transactions. 
The Bank makes appropriate provisions for any delinquency losses assessed at the time of sale as well as over the 
life of the securitisation transactions in accordance with the RBI guidelines.

c.  Rating of securitisation exposures

Ratings obtained from ECAIs stipulated by RBI (as stated above) are used for computing capital requirements for 
securisation exposures. Where the external ratings of the Bank’s investment in securitised debt instruments/PTCs 
are at least partly based on unfunded support provided by the Bank, such investments are treated as unrated and 
deducted from the capital funds.

9.  MARKET RISK IN TRADING BOOK

a.  Market risk management policy 

Risk management policies

  Market risk is the possibility of loss arising from changes in the value of a financial instrument as a result of changes 
in market variables such as interest rates, exchange rates, credit spreads and other asset prices. The market risk 
for the Bank is managed in accordance with the Investment Policy and Derivatives Policy, which are approved by 
the Board. The policies ensure that operations in securities, foreign exchange and derivatives are conducted in 
accordance with sound and acceptable business practices and are as per the extant regulatory guidelines, laws 
governing transactions in financial securities and the financial environment. The policies contain the limit structure 
that governs transactions in financial instruments. The policies are reviewed periodically to incorporate therein, 
changed business requirements, economic environment and revised policy guidelines.

Risk management objectives 

The Bank manages its market risk with the broad objectives of:

1.  Management of market risk such as interest rate risk, currency risk, equity risk and credit spread risk arising 

from the investments and derivatives portfolio.

2.  Proper classification, valuation and accounting of investments and derivatives portfolio.

3.  Adequate and proper reporting of investments and derivative products.

4.  Compliance with regulatory requirements.

5.  Effective control over the operation and execution of market related transactions.

Structure and organisation of the market risk management function

The Market Risk Management Group (MRMG), which is an independent function, reports to the Head - RMG. MRMG 
exercises independent control over the process of market risk management and recommends changes in policies 
and methodologies for measuring market risk. 

To comply with the home and host country regulatory guidelines and to have independent control groups there is 
clear functional separation of:
•	 Trading i.e. front office;
•	 Monitoring, control, settlements and accounting i.e. Treasury Middle Office Group. 

Strategies and processes

Internal control system

Treasury  operations  warrant  elaborate  control  procedures.  Keeping  this  in  view,  the  following  guidelines  are 
followed for effective control of the treasury operations:

1.  Delegation

  Appropriate delegation of administrative powers has been put in place for treasury operations. Keeping in view 
the size of the investment portfolio and the variety of securities that the Bank has been dealing in, authority for 
investment decisions has been delegated to various dealers depending on exigencies of business.

Treasury Middle Office Group (TMOG) is responsible for an independent check of the transactions entered into 
by the front office. It also monitors the various limits, which have been laid down in the Investment Policy.

2.  System controls

The system used for recording, processing, monitoring and accounting of treasury transactions have adequate 
data integrity controls. The process for enabling/disabling role-based access is also documented. 

3.  Exception handling processes

The  Investment  Policy  sets  out  deal-size  limits  for  various  products.  Various  coherence  checks  have  been 
inserted in the system for ensuring that the appropriate deal size limits are enforced to minimise exceptions. 
Additionally, the Investment Policy lists the value-at-risk (VaR) limits and stop loss limits for different groups. It 
also defines the approval mechanism in case of breach of these limits.

Scope and nature of risk reporting and/or measurement systems

Reporting

The Bank periodically reports on the various investments and their related risk measures to the senior management 
and the committees of the Board. The Bank also periodically reports to its various regulators as per the reporting 
requirements of the respective regulators.

  Measurement

The Bank has devised various risk metrics for different products and investments. These risk metrics are measured 
and reported to the senior management independently by TMOG. Some of the risk metrics adopted by the Bank 
for monitoring its risks are VaR, duration of equity (DoE), price value of basis point (PV01) and stop loss amongst 
others. Limits are placed on various risk metrics which are monitored on a periodic basis.

Hedging and mitigation

Limits on positions that can be maintained are laid out in the relevant policies. All business groups are required to 
operate within these limits. 

Hedge transactions for banking book transactions are periodically assessed for hedge effectiveness.

Frameworks in overseas banking subsidiaries

Frameworks that are broadly similar to the above framework have been established at each of the overseas banking 
subsidiaries of the Bank to manage market risk. The frameworks are established considering host country regulatory 
requirements as applicable.

b.  Capital requirements for market risk

The capital requirements for market risk (general and specific) at March 31, 2011 were:

Capital required
-  for interest rate risk1
-  for foreign exchange (including gold) risk
-  for equity position risk

1.  

Includes capital required of ` 0.65 billion for securitisation exposure.

Operational risk  is  the  risk  of  loss  resulting  from  inadequate  or  failed  internal  processes,  people  or  systems,  or 
from external events. Operational risk includes legal risk but excludes strategic and reputation risk. Operational 
risk is inherent in the Bank’s business activities in both domestic as well as overseas operations and covers a wide 
spectrum of issues.

Objectives

The  objective  of  the  Bank’s  operational  risk  management  is  to  manage  and  control  operational  risks  in  a  cost 
effective manner within targeted levels of operational risk consistent with the Bank’s risk appetite as specified in 
the Operational Risk Management Policy (the Policy). The Policy aims to:

•	 Define Bank level operational risk appetite;
•	 Establish clear ownership and accountability for management and mitigation of operational risk;
•	 Help business and operations to improve internal controls, reduce likelihood of occurrence of operational risk 

incidents and minimise potential impact of losses;

•	 Minimise losses and customer dissatisfaction due to failure in processes; and 
•	 Develop comprehensive operational risk loss database for effective mitigation.

Operational risk management governance and framework

In line with the RBI guidelines, an independent Operational Risk Management Group (ORMG) was set up in 2006. 
The Bank’s operational risk management governance and framework risk is defined in the Policy. While the Policy 
provides a broad framework, detailed standard operating procedures for operational risk management processes 
are established. For the purpose of robust quality of operational risk management across the Bank, the operational 
risk management processes of the Bank have been certified for ISO 9001:2008 standard.  

The Policy specifies the composition, roles and responsibilities of Operational Risk Management Committee (ORMC). 
ORMC is responsible for overseeing all material operational risks, responses to risk issues and the adequacy and 
effectiveness of controls within a given operational risk control area.

The key elements in the operational risk management framework include: 

Identification and assessment of operational risks and controls;

•	
•	 New products and processes approval framework;
•	 Measurement through incident and exposure reporting;
•	 Monitoring through key risk indicators; 
•	 Mitigation through process and controls enhancement and insurance; and
•	 Reporting of operational risk profiles to the business groups.

Identification and assessment

Operational risks and controls across the Bank are documented and updated regularly.  Each business and operations 
group in the Bank has business operational risk managers within the group. ORMG along with these managers 
facilitates  the  business  and  operation  groups  for  carrying  out  risk  and  control  self-assessments  on  a  periodic 
basis as per the plan approved by the ORMC. Risk mitigation plans are monitored to ensure timely mitigation of 
risks. Internal controls are tested by Internal Audit Group in the Bank. The testing results are incorporated in the 
operational risk assessment. The Bank has a comprehensive Product and Process Approval framework along with 
the detailed operating guidelines for effective new product and process risk management. As per the framework, 
Bank has a Product and Process Approval Committee (PAC) in place. The role of PAC is to assess the proposed 
product offering/process improvement from the business and operational perspective, examine the feasibility of 
system requirements for supporting the product/process and ascertain that adequate risk mitigation and legal and 
compliance measures are considered.  

  Measurement, monitoring, mitigation and reporting

Operational risk incidents are reported regularly and transactions results in losses are routed through operational 
risk account. Root cause analysis is carried out for the significant operational risk incidents reported and corrective 
actions are incorporated back into respective processes.

The Bank has initiated steps to adopt advanced approaches for operational risk capital computation. The Bank is 
taking steps to compute capital charge across eight business lines as per the requirements of the standardised 
approach for computation of operational risk capital charge. The Bank has been estimating operational VaR for the 
purpose of ICAAP. The operational VaR is estimated based on the principles of advanced measurement approach 
by  using  internal  loss  data,  scenario  analysis  and  external  loss  data.  The  operational  VaR  is  stress  tested  on  a 
periodic basis to ensure adequacy of the capital provided for operational risk and is compared with trends of actual 
losses.

Operational risk profiles are presented to the business and operations on a periodic basis. Operational risk exposures 
(risk and control self assessment results, operational risk incidents analysis, key risk indicators and open risks) are 
monitored by the ORMC on a quarterly basis and are also being reported to the business heads in the form of 
dashboards on a quarterly basis. Operational risk management status along with significant incidents analysis is 
updated to the Risk Committee and to the Board on a half-yearly basis. The level and direction of operational risk on 
the basis of a set of key risk indicators covering six areas namely process, technology, people, event, outsourcing 
and reputation, is presented to the Risk Committee and the Board on a quarterly basis.  

For facilitating effective operational risk management, the Bank has implemented a comprehensive operational risk 
management system in the financial year 2010. The software comprises five modules namely incident management, 
risk and control self-assessment, key indicators, scenario analysis and issues and action. The Bank is in the process 
of implementing economic capital system for operational risk during the financial year 2012.

Operational risk management in international locations

ORMG is responsible for design, development and continuous enhancement of the operational risk management 
framework across the Bank including overseas banking subsidiaries and overseas branches. While the common 
framework is adopted, suitable modifications in the processes are carried out depending upon the requirements 
of the local regulatory guidelines. ORMG exercises oversight through the process of periodic review of operational 
risk management in the international locations.

b.  Capital requirement for operational risk (March 31, 2011)

As per the RBI guidelines on Basel II, the Bank has adopted Basic Indicator approach for computing capital charge 
for operational risk. The capital required for operational risk at March 31, 2011 was ` 26.25 billion.

11.  INTEREST RATE RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK (IRRBB)

a.  Risk Management Framework for IRRBB 

Interest rate risk is the risk of potential variability in earnings and capital value resulting from changes in market 
interest rates. IRRBB refers to the risk of deterioration in the positions held on the banking book of an institution 
due to movement in interest rates over time. The Bank holds assets, liabilities and off balance sheet items across 
various markets with different maturity or re-pricing dates and linked to different benchmark rates, thus creating 
exposure to unexpected changes in the level of interest rates in such markets. 

Organisational set-up

ALCO  is  responsible  for  management  of  the  balance  sheet  of  the  Bank  with  a  view  to  manage  the  market  risk 
exposure assumed by the Bank within the risk parameters laid down by the Board of Directors/Risk Committee. A 
Global Asset Liability Management (GALM) Group at the Bank monitors and manages the risk under the supervision 
of  ALCO.  Further,  the  Asset  Liability  Management  (ALM)  groups  in  overseas  branches  manage  the  risk  at  the 
respective branches, under direction of the Bank’s GALM group. 

The  ALM  Policy  of  the  Bank  contains  the  prudential  limits  on  liquidity  and  interest  rate  risk,  as  prescribed  by 
the Board of Directors/Risk Committee/ALCO. Any amendments to the ALM Policy can be proposed by business 
group(s), in consultation with the market risk and compliance teams and are subject to approval from ALCO/Risk 
Committee/Board of Directors, as per the authority defined in the Policy. The amendments so approved by ALCO 
are presented to the Board of Directors/Risk Committee for information/approval. 

TMOG is an independent group responsible for preparing the various reports to monitor the adherence to the prudential 
limits as per the ALM Policy. These limits are monitored on a regular basis at various levels of periodicity. Breaches, 
if  any,  are  duly  reported  to  ALCO/Risk  Committee/Board  of  Directors,  as  may  be  required  under  the  framework 
defined for approvals/ratification. Upon review of the indicators of IRRBB and the impact thereof, ALCO may suggest 
necessary corrective actions in order to realign the exposure with the current assessment of the markets.

Risk measurement and reporting framework

The Bank proactively manages impact of IRRBB as a part of its ALM activities. ALM policy defines the different types 
of interest rates risks that are to be monitored, measured and controlled. ALCO decides strategies for managing 
IRRBB at the desired level. Further, ALCO periodically gives direction for management of interest rate risk on the 
basis of its expectations of future interest rates. Based on the guidance, GALM manages the IRRBB with the help of 
various tools i.e. gap analysis, earning at risk (EaR), DoE, stress testing for basis risk etc. These tools are as follows:

•	

 Gap  analysis:  The  interest  rate  gap  or  mismatch  risk  is  measured  by  calculating  gaps  over  different  time 
intervals at a given date for domestic and overseas operations. Gap analysis measures mismatches between 
rate  sensitive  liabilities  (RSL)  and  rate  sensitive  assets  (RSA)  (including  off-balance  sheet  positions).  The 
report  is  prepared  by  grouping  rate  sensitive  liabilities,  assets  and  off-balance  sheet  positions  into  time 
buckets according to residual maturity or next re-pricing period, whichever is earlier. For non-maturity assets/
liabilities (for instance, working capital facilities on the assets side and current and savings account deposits 
on the liabilities side) grouping into time buckets is done based on behavioral studies or by making certain 
assumptions. The difference between RSA and RSL for each time bucket signifies the gap in that time bucket. 
The direction of the gap indicates whether net interest income is positively or negatively impacted by a change 
in the direction  of interest rates and the extent of the gap approximates the change in net interest income for 
that given interest rate shift. The ALM Policy of the Bank stipulates bucket-wise limits on interest rate gaps for 
the domestic operations of the Bank, linked to the networth of the Bank.

•	 EaR: From an EaR perspective, the gap reports indicate whether the Bank is in a position to benefit from rising 
interest  rates  by  having  a  positive  gap  (RSA  >  RSL)  or  whether  it  is  in  a  position  to  benefit  from  declining 
interest rates by a negative gap (RSL > RSA). The Bank monitors the EaR with respect to net interest income

(NII) based on a 100 basis points adverse change in the level of interest rates. The magnitude of the impact over 
a one year period, as a percentage of the NII of the previous four quarters gives a fair measure of the earnings 
risk that the Bank is exposed to. The EaR computations include the banking book as well as the trading book.

For  some  of  the  products,  Bank  provides  its  depositors  and  borrowers  an  option  to  terminate  the  deposit/
loan pre-maturely. These products may or may not provide for a penalty for premature termination. In case of 
pre-mature terminations, the Bank faces a risk of re-pricing of the assets/liabilities at the current rates and the 
resultant impact on the NII (adjusted for the penalty), over and above the impact as estimated through EAR. 
However, the re-pricing/re-investment risk is partly mitigated on account of the premature termination option 
in wholesale term deposits and term loans being captured through the behavioral studies implemented in the 
interest rate gap statement as mentioned in the earlier paragraphs.

•	 DoE: Change in the interest rates also have a long-term impact on the market value of equity of the Bank, as 
the economic value of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions is impacted . Duration is 
a measure of interest rate sensitivity of assets, liabilities and also equity. It may be defined as the percentage 
change in the market value of an asset or liability (or equity) for a given change in interest rates. Thus DoE is 
a measure of change in the market value of equity of a firm due to the identified change in the interest rates. 
The Bank uses DoE as a part of framework to manage IRRBB for its domestic and overseas operations and 
the ALM Policy stipulates a limit on the overall DoE of the Bank  in order to monitor and manage IRRBB. The 
DoE computations include the banking book as well as the trading book. The utilisation against these limits is 
computed for appropriate interest rate movements and monitored periodically.

•	 Stress test for basis risk: The assets and liabilities on the balance sheet are priced based on multiple benchmarks 
and when interest rates fluctuate, all these different yield curves may not necessarily move in tandem exposing 
the balance sheet to basis risk. Therefore, over and above the EaR, the Bank measures the impact of differential 
movement in interest rates across benchmark curves. For the domestic operations various scenarios of interest 
rate movements (across various benchmark yield curves) are identified and the worst-case impact is measured 
as a percentage of the aggregate of Tier-1 and Tier-2 capital. These scenarios take into account the magnitude 
as well as the timing of various interest rate movements (across curves). Currently, the scenarios provide for 
differential movements in each yield curve but the movement in each curve is assumed to be parallel. Further, 
for the overseas operations of the Bank, assets and liabilities are primarily linked to LIBOR and the basis risk is 
computed for a parallel shift in LIBOR as well as spread over LIBOR for the borrowings of the Bank. The basis 
risk for the Bank is summations of the risk on domestic and overseas operations.

  Most of the other banking entities in the Group, wherever applicable, also monitor IRRBB through similar tools and 

limit framework. 

  Marked-to-market (MTM) on the trading book

In addition to the above, the price risk of the trading book is monitored through a framework of VaR and cumulative 
stop loss limits. The trading book includes all fixed income securities in available for sale and held for trading book 
including securities held for statutory liquid ratio maintenance purposes in these books, interest rate swaps, and any 
other derivatives, which have to be marked to market. The management of price risk of the trading book is detailed in 
the Investment Policy. 

Hedging policy

Depending  on  the  underlying  asset  or  liability  and  prevailing  market  conditions,  the  Bank  enters  into  hedge 
transactions  for  identified  assets  or  liabilities.  The  Bank  has  a  policy  for  undertaking  hedge  transactions.  These 
hedges are periodically assessed for hedge effectiveness as per the applicable financial guidelines. The hedges that 
meet the effectiveness requirements are accounted for on a basis similar to the underlying asset/liability.

Frameworks in overseas banking subsidiaries

Frameworks  that  are  broadly  similar  to  the  above  framework  have  been  established  at  each  of  the  overseas 
banking subsidiaries of the Bank to manage interest rate risk in the banking book. The frameworks are established 
considering host country regulatory requirements as applicable.

12.   LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  of  inability  to  meet  financial  commitments  as  they  fall  due,  through  available  cash  flows  or 
through sale of assets at fair market value. It is the current and prospective risk to the Bank’s earnings and equity arising 
out of inability to meet the obligations as and when they become due. It includes both, the risk of unexpected increases 
in the cost of funding an asset portfolio at appropriate maturities as well as the risk of being unable to liquidate a position 
in a timely manner at a reasonable price.

The goal of liquidity risk management is to be able, even under adverse conditions, to meet all liability repayments on 
time and to fund all investment opportunities by raising sufficient funds either by increasing liabilities or by converting 
assets into cash expeditiously and at reasonable cost.

F119

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
bAsel ii – pillAr 3 disClosures (ConsolidAted) 

at March 31, 2011

Organisational set-up

The Bank manages liquidity risk in accordance with its ALM Policy. This policy is framed as per the extant regulatory 
guidelines and is approved by the Board of Directors. The ALM Policy is reviewed periodically to incorporate changes 
as  required  by  regulatory  stipulation  or  to  realign  with  changes  in  the  economic  landscape.  The  ALCO  of  the  Bank 
formulates and reviews strategies and provides guidance for management of liquidity risk within the framework laid out 
in the ALM Policy. The Risk Committee of the Board has oversight on the ALCO.

Risk measurement and reporting framework

The Bank proactively manages liquidity risk as a part of its ALM activities. The Bank uses various tools for measurement 
of liquidity risk including the statement of structural liquidity (SSL), dynamic liquidity gap statements, liquidity ratios and 
stress testing through scenario analysis.

The SSL is used as a standard tool for measuring and managing net funding requirements and assessment of surplus 
or  shortfall  of  funds  in  various  maturity  buckets  in  the  future.  The  cash  flows  pertaining  to  various  assets,  liabilities 
and off-balance sheet items are placed in different time buckets based on their contractual or behavioural maturity. For 
non-maturity assets/liabilities e.g. working capital facilities on the assets side and current account & savings account 
deposits on the liabilities side grouping into time buckets is done based on the assumptions. The SSL for INR operations 
is prepared on daily basis for the domestic operations of the Bank and SSL for international operations of the Bank is 
prepared periodically and the utilisation against gap limits laid down for each bucket are reviewed by ALCO.

The Bank also prepares dynamic liquidity gap statements, which in addition to scheduled cash flows, also considers the 
liquidity requirements pertaining to incremental business and the funding thereof. The dynamic liquidity gap statements 
are prepared in close coordination with the business groups, and cash flow projections based on the same are presented 
to ALCO periodically. As a part of the stock and flow approach, the Bank also monitors various liquidity ratios, and limits 
are laid down for these ratios under the ALM Policy. 

Further, the Bank has a Board approved liquidity stress testing framework, as per which the Bank gauges its liquidity 
position under a range of stress scenarios. These scenarios cover Bank specific and market-wide stress situations and 
have been designed for the domestic and the international operations of the Bank. The potential impact on the Bank’s 
financial position for meeting the stress outflows under these scenarios is measured and is subject to a stress tolerance 
limit specified by the Board. The results of liquidity stress testing are reported to ALCO on a monthly basis.

The Bank has also framed a Liquidity Contingency Plan (LCP) which serves as a framework for early identification and 
calibrated  action  in  the  event  of  tight  liquidity  conditions.  The  LCP  includes  various  indicators  which  are  monitored 
regularly, and lays down the mechanism for escalation, remedial action and crisis management until return to normalcy.

Liquidity management

The  Bank  has  diverse  sources  of  liquidity  to  allow  for  flexibility  in  meeting  funding  requirements.  For  the  domestic 
operations, current accounts and savings deposits payable on demand form a significant part of the Bank’s funding 
and  the  Bank  is  working  with  a  concerted  strategy  to  sustain  and  grow  this  segment  of  deposits  along  with  retail 
term deposits. These deposits are augmented by wholesale deposits, borrowings and through issuance of bonds and 
subordinated debt from time to time. Loan maturities and sale of investments also provide liquidity. The Bank holds 
unencumbered, high quality liquid assets to protect against stress conditions. 

For domestic operations, the Bank also has the option of managing liquidity by borrowing in the inter-bank market on 
a short-term basis. The overnight market, which is a significant part of the inter-bank market, is susceptible to volatile 
interest  rates.  To  limit  the  reliance  on  such  volatile  funding,  the  ALM  Policy  has  stipulated  limits  for  borrowing  and 
lending in the inter-bank market. The Bank also has access to refinancing facilities extended by the RBI.

For the overseas operations too, the Bank has a well-defined borrowing program. The US dollar is the base currency 
for the overseas branches of the Bank, apart from the branches where the currency is not freely convertible. In order 
to maximise the borrowings at reasonable cost, liquidity in different markets and currencies is targeted. The wholesale 
borrowings  are  in  the  form  of  bond  issuances,  syndicated  loans  from  banks,  money  market  borrowings,  inter-bank 
bilateral loans and deposits, including structured deposits. The Bank also raises refinance from banks against the buyer’s 
credit and other forms of trade assets. The loans that meet the criteria of the Export Credit Agencies are refinanced as 
per the agreements entered with these agencies. Apart from the above the Bank is also focused on increasing the share

of retail deposit liabilities, in accordance with the regulatory framework at the host countries.

Frameworks that are broadly similar to the above framework have been established at each of the overseas banking 
subsidiaries of the Bank to manage liquidity risk. The frameworks are established considering host country regulatory 
requirements as applicable.

In summary, the Bank has in place robust governance structure, policy framework and review mechanism to ensure 
availability of adequate liquidity even under stressed market conditions.
