Message from the Chairman

is  almost  entirely  financed  by  domestic  savings; 
where  the  fiscal  outlook  is  not  burdened  by  the 
prospect  of  a  rapidly  ageing  population;  and 
where there is sufficient growth momentum in the 
economy to support rising government revenues 
and deficit reduction over time. One sees a young 
country with a demographic dividend that will be 
reaped for many years to come. As I travel around 
the  country,  in  big  cities,  small  towns  and  rural 
areas,  I  see  economic  activity  humming.  I  see 
new businesses, big and small; construction and 
infrastructure  building;  and  growing  prosperity, 
creating demand for goods and services of various 
kinds.  I  see  entrepreneurship  and  innovation 
flowering  everywhere,  and  that  gives  me  great 
hope for the future.

Of course, there are and always will be challenges, 
from  outside  and  within.  Policies  and  strategies 
will  need  to  change  when  course  correction 
is  required.  The  advantage  we  have  is  that  we 
have  strong  underlying  fundamentals  to  work 
with. These growth drivers need an overlay of an 
appropriate policy framework that removes friction 
in the economic ecosystem and helps all its parts 
to realise their full potential. This will evolve over 
time.  But  the  momentum  that  has  been  created 
in the economy will ensure robust and sustained 
growth over the medium to long term.

Ten  years  ago,  there  would  have  been  very  few 
among  us  who  would  have  believed  that  India 
could  ever  grow  at  8%.  We  were  still  seeing 
our  population  as  a  drag  rather  than  a  source  of 
momentum for growth. Indeed it was difficult then 
to build a picture of what India could be like after a 
decade, and perhaps that scepticism was justified. 
What  is  different  now  is  that  we  now  have  the 
record  of  what  we  have  achieved  in  the  last  ten 
years, and how our country has transformed. We 

K.V. KAMATH Chairman

As I write this annual message, there seems to be 
a sense of pessimism around the Indian economy. 
There are concerns about slowdown in investment, 
about inflation and oil prices and about corporate 
performance.  Equity  and  currency  markets  are 
exhibiting high volatility, which is further impacting 
sentiment. But if one looks beyond the headlines 
and with a slightly longer time horizon – both past 
and future – one sees a rather different picture. 

One sees an economy that over the last decade has 
achieved a step change in its growth rates, moving 
to  a  higher  growth  orbit.  One  sees  an  economy 
that bounced back from the worst global financial 
crisis in recent history to record over 8% growth 
for  two  consecutive  years.  One  sees  a  country 
where per capita GDP has tripled in less than ten 
years. One sees a country where government debt

have  demonstrated  our  resilience  in  challenging 
circumstances.  That  is  what  should  give  us  the 
confidence  to  project  what  we  will  be  ten  years 
hence. Today, we have a solid foundation on which 
to  base  our  aspirations.  If  we  want  to  look  at 
proxies and past experience, one need only look at 
China. Research has shown that on a whole range 
of indicators, two decades after we in India started 
our  reforms  process,  we  are  where  China  was 
two decades after it commenced reforms. Indeed 
one could argue that India’s growth model led by 
domestic  consumption  and  investment,  and  its 
demographic dividend, will ensure a virtuous cycle 
of growth for an even longer period of time. 

It  is  for  this  potential  that  organisations  have  to 
position themselves, while navigating short term 
challenges  and  volatility.  This  is  the  strategic 
approach  at  the  ICICI  Group.  Over  the  last  year, 
the  executive  team  has  balanced  the  objectives 
of growth, profitability and risk management in a 
commendable manner, further strengthening the 
balance sheet and the key drivers of profitability. 
This  strategy  has  been  executed  across  all 
businesses,  while  ensuring  that  capabilities 
continue to be built to participate in the growth 
opportunity that our country provides. The Board 
continues  to  focus  on  a  sound  governance 
framework  that  encourages  this  balance  and 
supports long-term sustainable value creation.

A  key  aspect  of  our  nation’s  growth  agenda  is 
to  make  growth  more  inclusive.  While  we  have 
grown  at  a  healthy  pace  and  there  has  been 
significant  upward  migration  of  household 
incomes,  we  continue  to  have  a  large  section 
of  the  population  that  is  deprived  of  the  ability 
to participate in this growth. We therefore need 
focused efforts to enhance access – to financial 
services,  to  healthcare,  to  education  and  to 

skills  that  lead  to  employment.  We  also  need 
to  improve  the  quality  of  delivery  by  existing 
systems and institutions in each of these areas. 
Through the ICICI Foundation, we are committing 
not  only  financial  resources  but  also  intellectual 
capital  and  management  resources  to  each  of 
these  areas,  through  programmes  designed  to 
maximise the impact of our efforts.

I  am  confident  about  our  country’s  future  and 
about  the  growth  and  profitability  of  the  ICICI 
Group in the years ahead. The Group is strongly 
positioned in each of its businesses and focused 
on  sustainable  growth  and  profitability.  We  look 
forward to the years ahead with excitement and 
optimism. 

With best wishes,

K.V. Kamath

Annual Report 2011-2012      3

Letter from the Managing Director & CEO

at March 31, 2012. During fiscal 2012 also, we 
were able to maintain this momentum despite 
the tight systemic liquidity, high interest rates 
and  the  changing  competitive  landscape.  In 
addition,  we  have  significantly  enhanced  our 
retail  term  deposit  franchise,  substantially 
increasing  the  share  of  retail  deposits  in  our 
total deposit base.

•	 Our  net  interest  margin  has  improved  from 
2.43% in fiscal 2009 to 2.73% in fiscal 2012, 
through  focused  efforts  on  both  the  asset 
and liability sides of the balance sheet in our 
domestic and overseas businesses.

•	 We  have  reduced  our  net  non-performing 
asset ratio from 2.19% at the peak to 0.62% 
at March 31, 2012. The improvement in asset 
quality  is  also  evident  in  the  reduction  in  the 
provision charge in our profit & loss account, 
which  has  declined  from  a  peak  of  2.29% 
of  average  loans  in  fiscal  2010  to  0.68% 
of  average  loans  in  fiscal  2012.  Provisions 
declined  by  31%  in  fiscal  2012  on  a  year-on-
year basis. 

•	 With the above improvements, we have grown 
our business. After a year of consolidation in 
fiscal  2010,  we  grew  our  balance  sheet  at  a 
robust pace  over the last two  years. In fiscal 
2012, our loans and advances grew by 17%.

•	 Our  return  on  assets  has  improved  from 
0.98% in fiscal 2009 to 1.50% in fiscal 2012, 
demonstrating a fundamental positive shift in 
our profitability.

•	

ICICI  Bank’s  return  on  equity  improved  from 
7.7%  in  fiscal  2009  to  11.1%  in  fiscal  2012. 
On a consolidated basis, the return on equity 
improved  at  an  even  faster  pace,  from  7.8% 
to 13.0% over the same period, reflecting the 
robust  performance  of  not  only  ICICI  Bank 
but also our subsidiaries operating in various 
segments of the financial services sector.

CHANDA KOCHHAR Managing Director & CEO

Amidst  a  rapidly  evolving  global  and  domestic 
economic  environment,  we  at  ICICI  Bank  have 
continued  to  focus  on  the  strategic  path  we 
outlined  three  years  ago.  We  had  articulated  a 
clear  vision  of  where  we  wanted  to  be,  and  a 
clear  path  towards  getting  there.  Our  goal  was 
to  rebalance  our  funding  mix  &  grow  our  retail 
deposit base; substantially improve asset quality; 
and  enhance  our  profitability.  Through  this,  we 
sought to position ourselves to participate in the 
growth opportunities in the Indian economy and 
its global linkages. I am happy to say that we have 
executed this strategy with focus and diligence. 
Let me take this opportunity to share just a few 
highlights  of  the  progress  we  have  made  over 
this three year journey.

•	 We  have  improved  the  share  of  low  cost 
current  and  savings  accounts  in  our  deposit 
base from 28.7% at March 31, 2009 to 43.5% 

4

Based  on  the  above  progress  in  our  underlying 
funding  profile,  asset  quality  and  profitability, 
we  were  able  to  achieve  26%  growth  in  profit 
after tax at the standalone level and 25% at the 
consolidated  level  in  fiscal  2012  –  a  year  which 
saw  significant  changes  in  the  operating  and 
regulatory environment. This resilience, coupled 
with our strong capital position, has enabled us 
to  increase  the  dividend  to  shareholders  from  
` 14 per share in fiscal 2011 to ` 16.50 per share 
in fiscal 2012.

However, the strength of a franchise is not only 
about  the  numbers  the  organisation  achieves 
in  a  year  –  it  is  also  about  the  foundation  it  is 
building  for  the  future.  And  we  have  continued 
to  make  progress  in  this  area  as  well.  We 
have  grown  our  branch  network  to  over  2,750 
branches  and  our  ATM  network  to  over  9,000 
ATMs. We have leveraged technology to enhance 
customer convenience and customer experience 
across  a  range  of  channels  including  ATMs, 
mobile  banking  and  internet  banking.  We  have 
undertaken  focused  initiatives  to  improve  the 
quality of service delivery to our customers, in line 
with our philosophy of “Khayaal Aapka” – keeping 
the  customer’s  needs  as  the  focal  point  of  our 
business. We continuously evaluate ourselves in 
this area and seek to keep enhancing the quality 
of customer experience.

Fiscal 2012 was a year which saw our subsidiaries 
contributing  significantly  to  our  profits.  This  is 
reflected in the robust growth in our consolidated 
profits, as well as healthy dividend streams from 
the subsidiaries to the parent Bank. A key strength 
of  the  ICICI  Group  franchise  is  its  leadership 
position  across  various  segments  of  financial 
services  in  India.  We  continue  to  strengthen 
this  franchise.  Our  insurance  and  mutual  fund 
businesses are focused on enhancing their market 
positioning  and  profitability.  Our  private  equity 
business  continues  to  pursue  new  fund  raising 
while  unlocking  value  from  past  investments. 
Our securities and primary dealership businesses 
are  strengthening  their  core  franchise  to  deliver 

healthy  returns  amidst  a  rapidly  evolving  market 
environment.  Our  international  subsidiaries  are 
repositioning  their  businesses  in  the  changed 
global  environment,  with  a  clear  path  towards 
improving their profitability over the medium term. 

Even as we execute these strategies, we remain 
conscious  of  our  role  in  nation  building.  This 
takes many forms – from the wide range of our 
business  activities,  like  infrastructure  financing 
and financial inclusion; to the focused efforts of 
the  ICICI  Foundation  for  Inclusive  Growth  in  the 
areas  of  education,  healthcare  and  sustainable 
in 
ICICI  Foundation’s 
livelihoods. 
education  include  a  six  year  programme  to 
improve  the  quality  of  school  education  in 
Rajasthan,  which  seeks  to  benefit  over  seven 
million  children.  In  the  area  of  health,  ICICI 
Foundation’s  initiatives  include  a  pilot  project  to 
provide insurance for outpatient treatment to the 
rural poor. Through such efforts, we carry forward 
our ethos of being an institution that supports the 
realisation of our country’s potential in a manner 
that takes the benefits of growth to every Indian.

initiatives 

Finally, I would like to say that we are optimistic 
about  our  country’s  future  and  the  potential 
for  profitable  growth  in  banking  and  financial 
services. There could be short-term challenges 
and  cyclical  upturns  and  downturns  –  but  our 
economic  fundamentals  are  strong  and  will 
support robust growth over the medium to long 
term. It is our endeavour at the ICICI Group to 
position  ourselves  to  catalyse  and  participate 
in  this  growth,  on  the  back  of  a  strong  and 
competitive  franchise.  We  look  forward  to  the 
continued  support  of  all  our  stakeholders  in 
this journey.

With best wishes,

Chanda Kochhar

offer both credit and savings 
products to individual farmers

Directors’ Report

(cid:79)  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  (ICAAP).  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 ICAAP. The stress-testing framework 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. During the year the Bank has also finalised the approach towards 
Enterprise Risk Management framework.

accounts.  The  Credit  Committee  also  reviews  the  non-performing  loans,  accounts  under  watch, 
overdues and incremental sanctions.

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.

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. Risk Management Group is further organised into the Credit Risk 
Management Group, Market Risk Management Group and Operational Risk Management Group. These 
groups  are  completely  independent  of  all  business  operations  and  coordinate  with  representatives 
of  the  business  units  to  implement  ICICI  Bank’s  risk  management  policies  and  methodologies.  The 
internal audit and compliance groups are responsible to the Audit Committee of the Board. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The corporate governance framework at ICICI Bank is based on an effective independent Board, the 
separation of the Board’s supervisory role from the executive management and the constitution of Board 
Committees,  generally  comprising  a  majority  of  independent  Directors  and  chaired  by  independent 
Directors, to oversee critical areas.

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. The ESOS aims at achieving the twin objectives of (i) aligning employee interest to that of 
the shareholders; and (ii) retention of talent. Through employee stock option grants, the Bank seeks to 
foster a culture of long-term sustainable value creation. 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 57.64 million shares at 
April 27, 2012). 

The Bank has up to April 27, 2012 granted 57.09 million stock options from time to time aggregating to 
4.95% of the issued equity capital of the Bank at April 27, 2012. In view of the same and the benefits 
of stock option grants as a compensation tool outlined above, the Board Governance, Remuneration & 
Nomination Committee (the Committee) at its Meeting held on April 27, 2012 recommended  that  the 
maximum number of equity shares of the Bank that can be created, offered, issued and allotted pursuant 
to the options granted under ESOS should not exceed ten percent of the aggregate of the number of 
issued equity shares of the Bank, from time to time, on the date(s) of the grant of option(s) under ESOS. 
The  Board  of  Directors  at  its  Meeting  held  on  April  27,  2012  accepted  the  recommendation  of  the 
Committee and decided to seek the approval of the Members for the same. The enhancement of the 
stock option pool upto ten percent of aggregate of the number of issued equity shares of the Bank is 
in line with other large Indian private sector banks.

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 the grant. Options granted from 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 in each year, commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of the 
grant. Out of the options the grant of which was approved  by the Board at its Meeting held on October 
29, 2010 (for which RBI approval for grant to wholetime Directors was received in January 2011), 50% 
of the options granted vest on April 30, 2014 and the balance 50% on April 30, 2015. The other stock 
options granted during the period April 2010 to April  2011 vest in a graded manner over a four year 
period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of the grant vesting in each year commencing from the end of 
12 months from the date of grant.

Options granted in September 2011 vest in a graded manner over a five year period with 15%, 20%, 20% 
and 45% of the grant vesting in each year, commencing from end of 24 months from the date of grant. 

The Board at its Meeting held on April 27, 2012 approved a grant of approximately 4.45 million options 
for fiscal 2012 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 ` 841.45 which was closing price on the stock exchange 

32

 
which recorded the highest trading volume in ICICI Bank shares on April 26, 2012. These options would 
vest over a four year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% respectively of the grant vesting in 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 approved by the Board at its Meeting 
held on October 29, 2010 where the grant price was the average closing price of the ICICI Bank stock 
on the stock exchange during the six months up to October 28, 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 up to April 27, 2012 are given below:

The diluted earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to issue of shares on exercise of options calculated in 
accordance with AS-20 was ` 55.95 in fiscal 2012 against basic EPS of ` 56.11. The Bank recognised a 
compensation cost of ` 21.0 million in fiscal 2012 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, 2012 would have been higher by ` 1,816.1 million and proforma profit after tax 
would have been ` 62.83 billion. On a proforma basis, ICICI Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share 
would have been ` 54.52 and ` 54.37 respectively. 

The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended March 
31, 2012 are given below:

Risk-free interest rate

Expected life

Expected volatility

7.99% to 9.07%

6.35 to 6.98 years

47.53% to 49.20%

Expected dividend yield
1.26% to 1.60%
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2012 is ` 592.52 
per option (March 31, 2011: ` 535.87).

The provisions of Section 217(1)(e) of the Companies Act, 1956 relating to conservation of energy and

extensively in its operations.

Business Overview

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Our  strategy  is  based  on  the  long-term  growth  prospects  of  the  Indian  economy.  India  has  strong 
economic fundamentals in the form of a favourable demographic profile and large investment potential. 
This will continue to create opportunities across various customer and product segments. In fiscal 2012, 
the  economy  faced  several  challenges  including  high  inflation  and  interest  rates  and  volatile  capital 
flows and currency markets, due to a combination of global and domestic factors. We believe that while 
there may be short-term challenges, the strong underlying fundamentals of the Indian economy would 
sustain healthy 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 2012, the Bank continued its focus on the 5Cs strategy – Credit growth, CASA mobilisation, 
Cost optimisation, Credit quality improvement and Customer centricity. We believe that we have made 
substantial progress on all the parameters of this strategy. We have significantly improved our funding 
profile,  asset  quality  and  profitability  and  are  well-placed  to  leverage  on  the  growth  opportunities  in 
the economy.

Retail Banking
Fiscal 2012 was characterised by high interest rates and tight liquidity. This led to pressure on demand 
deposits  in  the  system.  Further,  these  factors  combined  with  high  asset  prices  resulted  in  some 
moderation in retail loan growth. The year also witnessed de-regulation of interest rates on domestic 
savings deposits and non-resident Indian (NRI) deposits. 

Customer convenience and high quality service backed by a strong distribution network and innovative 
use of technology continued to be the bedrock of our growth strategy. During the year, we expanded 
our distribution network by adding 223 branches and 2,902 ATMs, taking the total number of branches 
and ATMs to 2,752 and 9,006 respectively.

The Bank has the largest branch network among private sector banks in the country. We continued our 
initiatives to offer customised products and services for various customer segments, including through 
differentiated sales and service propositions. During the year, we set up over 100 specialised business 
banking  branches  to  cater  to  the  growing  self-employed  and  small  business  segments.  Customers 
can undertake their trade transactions and obtain business loans at these branches. Healthy growth 
in current & savings accounts deposits continued to be our key priority for fiscal 2012. We continued 
our  focus  on  residential  mortgages,  auto  loans  &  commercial  business,  with  credit  quality  in  these 
portfolios  continuing  to  be  robust.  In  credit  cards,  we  launched  the  “Gemstone  Collection”  of  cards 
during the year to suit requirements of various customer segments. We also expanded our debit and 
prepaid cards portfolio. In addition, we leveraged our distribution infrastructure to increase the cross-
sell of third party products including life insurance and mutual funds.

We continued to take several initiatives in the area of technology to enhance customer convenience 
and the overall customer experience. We were among the first banks to introduce account number 
portability and also the only bank to enable customers to avail of portability through internet banking 
and  phone  banking.  Customers  can  thus  change  their  servicing  branch  without  changing  their 
account number and without having to visit the branch. This facility will ensure complete mobility 

36

and remove problems associated with changing account numbers in various ECS, auto debit and 
bill payment instructions. 

Our  internet  banking  customers  can  now  avail  of  unique  facilities  like  end-to-end  customer  service 
through  Click2Call  with  instant  call  back  and  online  chat.  Customers  can  view  all  ICICI  Group 
relationships and manage finances through personal expense management tools like ICICI Bank Money 
Manager. We also launched a one-of-its kind “Your Bank Account” application on Facebook. Our mobile 
banking service offers a range of banking options including iMobile, SMS banking and IVR payments.  
Our ATMs now serve as “Almost a Bank Branch”. During the year, we added a number of features to 
our  ATMs,  such  as  instant  fund  transfer,  fixed  deposits,  bill  payment,  mobile  number  updation  and 
insurance premium payments for the convenience of our customers. ICICI Bank was awarded the “NFS 
Operational  Excellence  Award-2011-12”  for  overall  performance  of  the  ATM  channel  by  the  National 
Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) as the top bank in the private and foreign bank category. During 
the year, we also enhanced our capabilities in data warehousing and analytics for timely and accurate 
insights on the large customer base. This has helped the Bank make better decisions in the areas of 
customer relationship management, cross sell, risk management and fraud prevention.  

Through these and other initiatives, we achieved robust growth in our retail business. Our auto and 
commercial business loan portfolios grew by 14.4% and 20.0% respectively in fiscal 2012. Mortgage 
disbursements (excluding developer financing) grew by 26.8% in fiscal 2012, though this was partly 
offset by repayments & prepayments out of the existing portfolio resulting in a portfolio growth of 7.5%. 
We also continued to see strong momentum in retail deposit customer acquisition and robust growth 
in the retail deposit base across both savings and term deposits. Savings account deposits grew by 
13.7% in fiscal 2012.

At  ICICI  Bank,  we  believe  that  retail  credit  in  India  has  robust  long-term  growth  potential,  driven  by 
sound fundamentals of rising income levels and favourable demographic profile. We will continue to 
enhance growth momentum in retail assets while sustaining and accelerating retail deposit mobilisation, 
through a focus on customer convenience and service quality.

Small & Medium Enterprises
Small  and  medium  enterprises  are  the  growth  drivers  of  our  economy  and  reflect  India’s  inherent 
entrepreneurial strength. At ICICI Bank, we offer complete banking solutions to SMEs across industry 
segments  with  a  suite  of  products  customised  to  their  business  needs.  We  adopt  a  cluster  based 
financing approach for small and medium enterprises with a homogeneous profile in industries such as 
infrastructure, engineering, information technology, education, life sciences and agri-based industries, 
to partner their growth ambitions. We also offer supply chain financing solutions to the channel partners 
of large corporates.

Despite the moderation in economic growth in fiscal 2012, some sectors in the SME space continued 
to remain on a growth trajectory. We have focused on judicious portfolio growth and deeper customer 
penetration. We continued to enhance our delivery capabilities to SME customers through specialised 
branches  in  synergy  with  the  Bank’s  Commercial  Banking  Group.  We  also  introduced  technology 
solutions like Trade Online to enable seamless service delivery to SME customers.

ICICI Bank sees the SME sector as a vital constituent of the Indian economy and will continue to partner 
the Indian SME entrepreneur while building a healthy portfolio.

Business Overview

Wholesale Banking
ICICI  Bank’s  wholesale  banking  strategy  is  based  on  providing  comprehensive  and  customised 
financial solutions to our corporate customers. The Wholesale Banking Group manages relationships 
with major corporate houses, mid-market companies and government entities with a comprehensive 
suite  of  banking  products,  which  includes  rupee  and  foreign  currency  debt,  currency  and  interest 
rate  risk  management  products,  structured  financing,  loan  syndication  and  commercial  banking 
products  and  services.  During  fiscal  2012,  there  was  a  slowdown  in  the  new  investment  plans  of 
the corporate sector. Certain sectors and corporates also faced stress in their operations on account 
of  the  moderation  in  economic  growth  in  India,  global  developments  and  other  challenges,  which 
resulted  in  an  increase  in  restructured  assets.  The  Bank  focused  on  proactively  addressing  asset 
quality issues, and growing its granular transaction banking revenues given the limited opportunities 
in project and structured financing.

Our Corporate Banking Group comprises a core relationship team that is product agnostic and works 
with  specific  teams  spread  across  project  finance,  structured  finance,  loan  syndication,  commercial 
banking  and  markets  with  a  focus  on  designing  optimal  financial  solutions  for  clients.  These  teams 
work along with the relationship team to fulfill product specific needs of clients. 

The Structured Finance Group works in tandem with relationship teams across the Wholesale Banking 
Group  and  International  Banking  Group  and  provides  financing  solutions  to  the  Bank’s  corporate 
clients  through  cost  efficient,  tailor-made  structures.  The  group’s  strength  lies  in  its  experience, 
knowledge  and  expertise  in  providing  innovative  end-to-end  solutions  with  timely  execution.  This 
strong capability, coupled with the Bank’s global presence, industry expertise, and large underwriting 
capability, has enabled ICICI Bank to become one of the leading arrangers & underwriters of structured 
finance transactions.

The Domestic Syndications Group is one of the major players in the domestic syndication segment for 
corporate and project finance transactions. Leveraging on our strong relationships with financial market 
participants, we are able to provide customised financial structures and solutions to our clients based 
on their requirements. 

The Mid Market Group focuses on identifying, nurturing and helping mid-sized corporate customers in 
their growth path to eventually become large sized corporates. This segment constitutes a substantial 
portion of the Indian economy and is expected to be a key beneficiary of its growth. The target segment 
comprises  corporates  that  have  grown  and  matured  beyond  the  SME  segment  and  therefore  need 
more complex banking services. 

Diversifying the revenue streams from corporate clients and enhancing the granularity and stability 
of  revenues  is  a  key  focus  area  for  the  Wholesale  Banking  Group.  To  this  end,  the  Group  works 
closely with the Commercial Banking Group to meet the transaction banking and trade related needs 
of corporate customers. The Commercial Banking Group works towards enhancing client servicing 
capabilities at the operational level. We have identified certain branches as “Mega Branches” with 
specialised capabilities in this regard. These branches are spread across all major commercial centres 
across  the  country.  They  are  supported  by  a  central  operations  team.  The  relationship  team  also 
works with the Markets Group to assist customers in addressing market risk in their businesses by 
offering various risk management products. 

We  will  continue  to  increase  the  granularity  and  stability  of  our  revenue  streams  by  executing  our 
commercial banking strategy, while maintaining our project financing franchise, further expanding and 
deepening  our  client  relationships  and  focusing  on  credit  quality.  We  seek  to  be  a  comprehensive 
service  provider  to  our  corporate  clients,  spanning  their  needs  across  project  financing,  structured 
financing, working capital, trade and payments. We believe that the growth of the corporate sector will 
present significant opportunities for us in all these areas.

Project finance
As  India  enters  the  Twelfth  Five  Year  Plan  period,  significant  opportunities  are  expected  in  project 
financing across infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. The road sector will witness considerable 
activity with award of more projects supported by measures like e-tendering implemented by National 
Highways Authority of India (NHAI). With various major and minor ports preparing to award projects for 
new cargo berths and container terminal development, the port sector is also expected to attract higher 
investments. The power sector has witnessed a moderation in investment plans, primarily on account 
of concerns over fuel availability and the financial position of state-owned power distribution utilities 
that are the primary purchasers of power. There continues to be a significant demand-supply gap in 
the power sector and hence investments made in this sector are expected to be viable. Going forward, 
while generation projects are expected to be fewer in number given the significant capacity creation 
that  is  already  underway,  the  regional  transmission  corridors  for  strengthening  the  national  grid  are 
expected to see more investments. The Government’s proposal to set up a coal sector regulator and 
introduce competitive bidding for allocation of coal blocks will spur private sector investments in the 
development of coal blocks. In the oil and gas sector, activity is likely to be led by demand for gas and 
associated investment in LNG terminals. With the increasing demand supply gap, the fertiliser sector 
is  expected  to  see  new  capacity  additions.  In  addition,  emerging  sectors  such  as  water  and  waste 
management are likely to witness fresh investments.

We  will  continue  to  focus  on  meeting  the  long-term  financing  requirements  of  Indian  corporates  to 
enable  them  to  contribute  in  the  development  of  infrastructure  and  other  projects.  We  believe  that 
our long experience in project finance, our comprehensive domain expertise and sound due diligence 
coupled with our ability to offer innovative, structured and customised solutions will help us capitalise 
on opportunities and cater to financing requirements in the years to come.

International Banking
Our international banking strategy is focused on providing solutions for the international requirements 
of our Indian corporate clients, facilitating the growing trade and capital flows between India and the 
rest of the world and establishing ICICI Bank as the preferred bank for non-resident Indians in key global 
markets. Further, during 2012, India continued to emerge as a top target market for most major global 
corporations. ICICI Bank’s International Banking Group supports such plans by establishing relationships 
with major global corporations. We also seek to build stable 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. 

Our international footprint today consists of 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. 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, our Russian subsidiary, is headquartered in 
Moscow with a branch in St. Petersburg. We opened our second retail branch in Singapore in fiscal 
2012.

In  fiscal  2012,  global  economic  activity  picked  up  at  differential  rates  with  emerging  markets 
experiencing  strong  growth  and  developed  markets  continuing  to  face  challenges.  However,  as  the 
overall global economic environment improved the pace of recovery in international trade and capital 
flows  strengthened  significantly.  In  this  changing  environment,  we  continued  to  maintain  adequate 
capital and focused on risk containment in our international operations. We also focused on improving 
the funding profile in our international operations. We continued to focus on expanding our trade finance 
business and our relationships with global corporates doing business in India. 

We  gained  considerable  market  share  in  remittances  during  fiscal  2012  and  continued  to  develop 
products  and  service  offerings  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  NRI  community.  The  emphasis  was 
on delivering a high quality customer service experience across the widely dispersed NRI community. 

Annual Report 2011-2012      39

Business Overview

Money2India  –  the  flagship  brand  of  the  remittance  business  completed  a  decade  and  reached  the 
landmark of serving a million people. Through our branch in Frankfurt, we launched a dedicated online 
Money Transfer to India service for Indians living in the Eurozone countries, thereby expanding ICICI 
Bank’s international reach significantly. 

Rural & Inclusive Banking
In accordance with the ICICI Group’s vision of combining a sustainable business model with a social 
and human development agenda, ICICI Bank has undertaken several initiatives to meet the financial 
requirements of the rural and the semi-urban population. These include offering credit through branches 
and financial inclusion through business correspondents (BC). During the year, we continued to focus 
on improving our product and service offerings to meet the requirements of all participants in the rural 
and semi urban economy including farmers, small processors and agri-corporates. We also sought to 
identify and capitalise on business opportunities across agriculture & allied and other sectors in these 
geographies.

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 such as kisan credit 
card, farm equipment loan and loan against gold ornaments. In fiscal 2012, we focused on building 
capacity and deploying adequate resources to achieve these targets. We focused on opening accounts 
for  routing  benefit  payments  under  various  government  schemes  and  have  received  mandates  for 
opening accounts of individuals under these schemes in certain states. At March 31, 2012 we had 17  
business correspondents with a network of 4,653 customer service points, to service these customers. 
We provide additional services to these customers such as remittances and opening of fixed/recurring 
deposit accounts. We had opened about 9.8 million financial inclusion accounts by March 31, 2012. 

We have successfully launched the process for routing government benefit payments using the Aadhar 
platform  of  Unique  Identification  Authority  of  India  (UIDAI)  on  an  end-to-end  basis.  This  includes 
crediting beneficiary account using Aadhaar Payment Bridge System (APBS) and disbursements in the 
field using AEPS. We have also been appointed as registrar by UIDAI.

We  have  also  built  lending  capability  in  over  1,000  of  our  branches  for  products  targeted  towards 
customers in the rural and semi urban areas across different segments in the entire agri-value chain. We 
have designed a bouquet of products customised to meet the specific requirements of the customers in 
these areas. These products are designed to meet the working capital and investment requirements. We 
also increased our product offerings by way of strategic tie-ups with tractor manufacturers, associating 
with certain corporates/cooperatives in the sugar/dairy sector and financing self help groups to reach 
out to the weaker sections of the community. New product initiatives were also undertaken during the 
year to enhance credit flow towards the micro and small enterprises sector.

Going forward, we will focus on leveraging our branch network and the network of our BC partners 
as  dedicated  channels  of  customer  service.  We  will  also  continue  with  our  endeavour  of  ensuring 
enhanced financial inclusion by offering quality banking facilities to the unbanked, use of technology for 
addressing customer needs 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 Aadhaar initiative which support the financial inclusion initiative in the country. 

Treasury
Our treasury operations are structured into three verticals: proprietary trading group, customer related 
markets business and the asset-liability management group. 

Fiscal 2012 was a volatile year for financial markets. The government bond markets saw an increase 
in 10-year yield from 7.98% to 8.57% following tight monetary policy (with repo rate increased by 175 
basis  points)  in  fiscal  2012.  This  was  accompanied  by  tight  liquidity  conditions.  The  equity  markets 

40

witnessed significant decline in the first three quarters of the year due global and domestic economic 
developments.  However,  subsequent  to  the  easing  of  Eurozone  concerns  and  increasing  portfolio 
investment  inflows,  equity  markets  recovered  in  the  last  quarter  of  fiscal  2012.  Foreign  exchange 
markets were also volatile and the rupee recorded a sharp fall of 14.6% against the dollar during 2011. 
Corporate bond spreads also remained volatile throughout the year amid bearish market sentiment. 

The  proprietary  trading  group  witnessed  subdued  activity  in  view  of  the  market  scenario.  However, 
the Bank continued to focus on the corporate bonds segment and ranked first in league table rankings 
for debt private placement according to the Prime database. Over the last year, we strengthened our 
relationship with key issuers and focused on increasing our distribution coverage. The Bank also won 
the IFR Asia 2011 Award in the “India Bond House of the Year” category. 

In its customer related business, the Bank provides foreign exchange and derivative solutions to clients 
and  has  continued  to  be  a  major  player  in  this  segment.  These  products  and  services  are  aimed  at 
managing customers’ foreign exchange and risk hedging needs through forwards, swaps, options and 
bullion services.  The Bank hedges market risks related to these products with banking counterparties.

The  balance  sheet  management  function  continued  to  actively  manage  the  Bank’s  liquidity  and  the 
government  securities  portfolio  held  for  compliance  with  Statutory  Liquidity  Ratio  (SLR)  norms  to 
optimise the yield on this portfolio, while maintaining an appropriate portfolio duration given the volatile 
interest rate environment. 

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. Key risks include credit, market, liquidity, 
operational, legal, compliance and reputation risks. Our risk management strategy is based on a clear 
understanding of various risks, disciplined risk assessment & 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 of the 
Board  have  been  constituted  to  facilitate  focused  oversight  of  various  risks.  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. 

Our  Risk  Committee  approves,  every  year,  a  detailed  calendar  of  reviews.  The  calendar  of  reviews 
includes reviews of risk management policies in relation to various risks, risk profile of the Bank, its 
overseas banking subsidiaries and key non-banking subsidiaries, assessment of capital adequacy based 
on the risk profile of the balance sheet, status with respect to implementation of advanced approaches 
under  the  Basel  framework  and  review  of  regulatory  compliance  issues.  Our  Credit  Committee  also 
approves every year a detailed calendar of reviews covering the Bank’s exposure to particular industries 
and  outlook  for  those  industries,  analysis  of  non-performing  loans,  overdues,  incremental  sanctions 
and specific review of each portfolio. A summary of the reviews carried out by the Credit Committee 
and Risk Committee is reported to the Board of Directors. 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.

We have dedicated groups, namely the Risk Management Group, Compliance Group, Corporate Legal 
Group, Internal Audit Group and Financial Crime Prevention & Reputation Risk Management Group, with 
a mandate to identify, assess and monitor the Bank’s principal risks in accordance with well-defined 
policies and procedures. These groups are 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.

Annual Report 2011-2012      41

Business Overview

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. This 
group also includes the Credit Administration Unit that services various retail business units for credit 
underwriting. In addition, we also have a Business Intelligence Unit to provide support for analytics, 
score card development and database management. 

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. 

42

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. 

Operational Risk: 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 
reputational risks. 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. Operational risk can result from a variety of 
factors, including failure to obtain proper internal authorisations, improperly documented transactions, 
failure of operational and information security procedures, computer systems, software or equipment, 
fraud,  inadequate  training  and  employee  errors.  Operational  risk  in  the  Bank  is  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 functions into front-office comprising business groups, middle office comprising 
credit and treasury middle offices, back-office comprising operations, corporate and support functions. 
The Bank’s operational risk management governance and framework is defined in the Operational Risk 
Management  (ORM)  Policy  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Policy  is  applicable  across  the 
Bank including overseas branches, ensuring a clear accountability and responsibility for management 

Annual Report 2011-2012      43

Business Overview

and mitigation of operational risk, developing a common understanding of operational risk and helping 
the business and operation groups to improve internal controls, thereby reducing the probability and 
potential impact of losses from operational risks. The Bank has also constituted an Operational Risk 
Management Committee (ORMC) to oversee the operational risk management in the Bank. The ORM 
Policy specifies the composition, roles and responsibilities of the ORMC. While the Policy provides a 
broad framework, detailed standard operating procedures for operational risk management processes 
have been established. Operational risk management framework in the Bank comprises identification 
and assessment of risks and controls, new products and process approval framework, measurement 
through incidents and exposure reporting, monitoring through key risk indicators and mitigation through 
process and control enhancement and insurance. The Bank has formed an independent Operational 
Risk Management Group for design, implementation and enhancement of operational risk management 
framework and to support business and operations groups in the operational risk management on an 
on-going basis. 

We seek to ensure that our capital position supports the risks in our business and our future growth 
plans through a robust capital management framework. This 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. We believe we are well-placed to comply with RBI’s guidelines on the implementation of the 
Basel III framework in India. We are also working towards migration to the advanced approaches under 
the Basel II framework over the medium term, subject to applicable RBI guidelines and approvals.  

HUMAN RESOURCES  
We continued with our  efforts to further strengthen the delivery of our employee value proposition – 
“Saath Aapka” - a promise of care, nurturing and opportunity to accomplish professional aspirations. 

During  the  year,  we  launched  two  new  internal  training  academies  –  The  Rural  &  Inclusive  Banking 
Academy and The Privilege Banking Academy – to  support and strengthen the execution of Bank’s 
rural and retail banking strategies. The academies focused on equipping new employees with requisite 
functional knowledge (covering product features, processes and regulations) and essential customer 
service and selling skills before placing them in their respective roles. To facilitate the rural strategy, 
we focused on hiring sales professionals familiar with the local language and market.  Similarly, the 
privilege  banking  strategy  was  supported  through  infusion  of  trained  resources  in  key  markets  to 
deepen relationship with our customers.

The Bank continued to invest in its industry-academia initiatives to build a talent pool with the required 
knowledge and skills for the banking sector. This year, the capacity of our flagship Probationary Officer 
programme was enhanced from 1,400 to 2,400 per year. The programme received more than 250,000 
applications for 2,400 seats. The Bank also launched two programmes under the aegis of ICICI Business 
Leadership Programme, one in partnership with NIIT University and the other with National Institute of 
Securities  Markets  (NISM).  These  programmes  aim  to  create  a  talent  pool  for  specialised  functions 
such as wholesale banking, risk management, treasury and information technology. 

The Bank continued to focus on improving service delivery to its customers by placing more experienced 
and seasoned staff in leadership positions at the branches. “Skill through Drill”, an innovative video-
based program, was offered to our branch staff to equip them with requisite service skills to deliver the 
better service to our customers. All employees in customer service and sales roles were assessed and 
certified on threshold functional knowledge. 

The Bank continued to provide internal platforms to the employees to engage with senior management, 
share views and have an open dialogue on organisation policies and practices.  This year, more than 
400 such sessions were held with employees where the dialogue was facilitated by senior managers of 
the Bank. In addition to engaging with employees and resolving their concerns, the Bank continued to 
stand by employees in their hour of need. The industrial relations environment for the Bank remained 
cordial and conducive for achieving organisation’s objectives.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
ICICI Bank has been a technology leader in Indian banking for over a decade, taking pioneering steps 
to enhance convenience for our customers. We have brought in high levels of functionalities to all our 
channels such as internet banking, ATMs, mobile banking and phone banking and at the same time 
continued  to  improve  and  strengthen  internal  technology  infrastructure,  processes  and  capabilities. 
Our information technology strategy has remained focused around increasing customer convenience, 
reducing customer complaints and reducing turnaround time. 

Against  this  backdrop,  we  have,  during  the  course  of  the  year,  enhanced  offerings  for  all  our  retail 
customers. These included a range of additional functionalities across our technology channels, including 
ATMs, mobile banking and internet banking. For our corporate customers, we reduced the need for 
them to visit branches by introducing the online trade platform. The platform will enable customers 
to conduct their trade transactions over the internet, track the status of their service requests online 
and help us provide better turnaround time. In the area of financial inclusion, we participated in the 
online transaction authentication pilot conducted by UIDAI in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand. We successfully 
demonstrated transactions like balance enquiries, cash withdrawal, cash deposit and funds transfer as 
part of this exercise. 

Internally, we also continued with our focus to improve our processes and capabilities. We installed 
note-sorting  machines  in  identified  branches.  These  machines  can  detect  fake  currency  notes  and 
hence  generate  clean  cash  at  the  branch  level  itself.  We  also  upgraded  our  systems  to  handle  high 
NEFT transaction volumes. 

We continue to invest in innovation and partnering with business teams on ways to leverage technology 
to enhance customer convenience, accelerate financial inclusion and deliver a superior experience to 
our customers.

KEY SUBSIDIARIES
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company (ICICI Life)
Fiscal 2012 was the first full year of operations after the regulatory changes in respect of unit linked 
insurance  products  came  into  effect  from  September  2010.  ICICI  Life  successfully  maintained  its 
leadership amongst private players in new business premium on retail weighted basis with a market 
share of 5.9%. ICICI Life’s total premium for fiscal 2012 was ` 140.22 billion and new business annualised 
premium equivalent premium was ` 31.18 billion. ICICI Life’s unaudited new business profit in fiscal 
2012 was ` 5.00 billion. The profit after tax for ICICI Life was ` 13.84 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to 
` 8.08 billion in fiscal 2011. The total sum assured by ICICI Life increased by 20% from ` 1,737.64 billion 
at March 31, 2011 to ` 2,082.99 billion at March 31, 2012.

Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority, vide its order dated March 22, 2012, has specified 
the  ultimate  loss  ratios  for  general  insurance  companies  in  respect  of  the  third  party  motor  pool,  a 
multilateral reinsurance arrangement covering third party risk of commercial vehicles. The loss ratios 
range from 159% to 213% between fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2011 and 145% for fiscal 2012 (after considering 
price increase of 68.5% effective April 25, 2011). This had an impact on the entire general insurance 
industry.  The  additional  impact  of  the  above  on  ICICI  General  was  `  6.85  billion.  As  a  result  of  the 
negative impact, ICICI General recorded a loss of ` 4.16 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to a loss of 
` 0.80 billion in fiscal 2011.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Fiscal 2012 was a challenging year for the global economy. Prolonged uncertainty around the resolution of 
the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, rating downgrades of sovereigns and slow recovery of the US economy 
increased risks to global growth. 

The  Indian  economy  saw  moderation  in  economic  activity  during  fiscal  2012,  following  domestic 
macroeconomic  conditions  of  high  interest  rates  and  slowdown  in  investments.  India’s  gross  domestic 
product (GDP) grew by 6.9% during the first nine months of fiscal 2012, compared to a growth of 8.1% in 
the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. During this period, the industrial sector grew by 3.3% compared 
to 7.0% in the corresponding period of the previous year. The services sector grew by 8.8%, similar to the 
growth  in  the  previous  year,  while  the  agriculture  sector  grew  by  3.2%  compared  to  6.8%.  Investments, 
as measured by gross fixed capital formation, declined by 0.2% during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 
compared to a growth of 8.9% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. Private consumption growth also 
moderated  to  5.1%  during  the  first  nine  months  of  fiscal  2012  compared  to  8.5%  in  the  corresponding 
period of fiscal 2011. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded a growth of 3.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) 
during  the  first  eleven  months  of  fiscal  2012  compared  to  8.1%  increase  in  the  corresponding  period  of  
fiscal 2011. During this period, production in the mining sector declined by 2.1%, while the manufacturing 
sector recorded a growth of 3.7% and electricity sector of 8.7%, as compared to growth of 5.8%, 8.7% and 
5.3% respectively in the first eleven months of fiscal 2011. The Central Statistical Organisation has estimated 
GDP growth for fiscal 2012 at 6.9%, compared to 8.4% in fiscal 2011. 

Inflation,  measured  by  the  Wholesale  Price  Index  (WPI),  remained  above  9.0%  levels  between  April- 
November 2011 but moderated from thereon to end the year at 6.9% in March 2012. Average inflation for 
fiscal 2012 was 8.8% as compared to 9.5% in fiscal 2011. The decrease was largely driven by falling inflation 
in food articles, which declined from 15.8% in fiscal 2011 to 7.4% in fiscal 2012. Manufactured products 
inflation initially went up to above 8.0% levels till November 2011, but moderated to 4.9% by March 2012. 
Core  inflation  (defined  as  manufactured  products  excluding  food  products)  reduced  from  8.5%  in  March 
2011 to 4.7% in March 2012.

Reserve  Bank  of  India  (RBI)  calibrated  its  policy  stance  in  line  with  macroeconomic  conditions.  During  
fiscal 2012, the repo rate was increased by 175 basis points from 6.75% to 8.50%, with the last increase 
of 25 basis points effective from October 25, 2011. Based on the moderation in economic growth and the 
inflation trajectory, RBI in its mid-quarter monetary policy review in December 2011 paused further tightening 
of policy rates. In the third quarter monetary policy review announced in January 2012, RBI reduced the cash 
reserve ratio (CRR) by 50 basis points from 6.0% to 5.50%. CRR was further reduced by 75 basis points in 
March 2012 to 4.75%. In its annual policy review for fiscal 2013 announced in April 2012, RBI reduced the 
repo rate by 50 basis points to 8.00%. During fiscal 2012, in an attempt to improve monetary transmission in 
the system, RBI established the repo rate as the single independent policy rate with the reverse repo pegged 
at a fixed 100 basis points below the repo rate. Also, a new Marginal Standing Facility was introduced under 
which banks could borrow overnight up to one per cent of their net demand and time liabilities, at 100 basis 
points above the repo rate. 

Liquidity  in  the  system  continued  to  remain  in  deficit  through  fiscal  2012.  Compared  to  an  average 
borrowing  by  banks  under  the  liquidity  adjustment  facility  (LAF)  window  of  RBI  of  `  470.82  billion  in 
fiscal  2011,  average  borrowing  increased  to  `  798.78  billion  in  fiscal  2012.  The  liquidity  deficit  crossed  
`  1.00  trillion  from  November  2011.  The  average  daily  borrowing  touched  a  peak  of  `  1.96  trillion  in  
end-March 2012. In view of the tight liquidity conditions, apart from the reduction in CRR, RBI also injected 
liquidity  through  open  market  operations  aggregating  around  `  1.30  trillion  between  November  2011  and 
March 2012. The yields on the benchmark 10 year government securities increased by about 58 basis points 

48

to  8.57%  at  March  30,  2012  from  7.99%  at  March  31,  2011.  In  response  to  tight  liquidity  conditions  and 
a rising interest rate environment, scheduled commercial banks increased their deposit and lending rates 
particularly in the first half of fiscal 2012. In April 2012, systemic liquidity conditions have improved with the 
deficit reducing to around ` 900.00 billion at April 23, 2012. Several banks have reduced their lending and 
deposit rates following the monetary policy announcement.

Non-food credit growth moderated during the year, from 21.3% at March 25, 2011 to 16.8% at March 23, 
2012, before picking up towards the end of the year. Non-food credit growth at March 30, 2012 was 19.3%. 
Based on sector-wise data available till February 2012, growth in credit to industry was 19.1% and to the 
services sector was 15.2% on a year-on-year basis. Credit to the infrastructure sector moderated significantly 
recording a growth of 18.7% year-on-year at February 24, 2012 compared to 39.7% at February 25, 2011 
mainly due to a slowdown in credit to the power and telecommunication sectors. Retail loan growth also 
slowed down to 11.4% year-on-year at February 24, 2012 compared to 16.2% at February 25, 2011. Similarly, 
deposit growth moderated during the year from 15.9% at March 25, 2011 to 13.4% at March 23, 2012, driven 
mainly by the decline in demand deposit growth from a reduction of 0.6% at March 25, 2011 to a reduction 
of 2.9% at March 23, 2012. Deposit growth picked up at the year-end, with year-on-year growth in demand 
deposits at 15.3% and term deposits at 17.7% at March 30, 2012.

The  Union  Budget  for  fiscal  2013  has  projected  the  government’s  fiscal  deficit  to  come  down  from  an 
estimated  5.9%  of  GDP  in  fiscal  2012  to  5.1%  in  fiscal  2013.  RBI  has  projected  India’s  GDP  to  grow  by 
7.3% in fiscal 2013, with credit growth estimated at 17.0% and deposit growth at 16.0%. RBI has projected 
inflation to be at 6.5% in March 2013.

Equity  markets  remained  volatile  during  fiscal  2012  due  to  global  and  domestic  events.  The  Eurozone 
sovereign debt crisis and sovereign rating downgrades by rating agencies along with the global economic 
slowdown impacted investor sentiment, particularly in the second and third quarter of fiscal 2012. On an 
overall basis, the benchmark equity index, the BSE Sensex, declined by 10.4% from 19,445 at March 31, 
2011 to 17,404 at March 31, 2012. Foreign institutional investment flows into India during fiscal 2012 were 
significantly lower compared to fiscal 2011, with net inflows of around USD 2.74 billion during the first nine 
months of fiscal 2012 compared to USD 29.46 billion in the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. In addition, 
a steeper slowdown in exports compared to imports during the year, contributed to a deficit of USD 7.09 
billion in India’s balance of payments during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as compared to a surplus of  
USD 11.02 billion during the corresponding period of fiscal 2011. The rupee depreciated by 14.6% against 
the US dollar from ` 44.65 per US dollar at March 31, 2011 to ` 51.16 per US dollar at March 31, 2012.

First year retail premium underwritten in the life insurance sector decreased by 4.8% (on weighted received 
premium basis) to ` 479.41 billion in fiscal 2012 from ` 503.68 billion in fiscal 2011. The average assets under 
management of mutual funds decreased by 5.1% to ` 6,647.92 billion in March 2012 from ` 7,005.38 billion 
in March 2011. Gross premium of the non-life insurance sector (excluding specialised insurance institutions) 
grew by 23.0% to ` 547.62 billion in fiscal 2012 from ` 445.34 billion in fiscal 2011.

Some key regulatory developments in the Indian financial sector during fiscal 2012 include:
(cid:135)(cid:3) In May 2011, RBI increased the interest rate on savings deposits by 50 basis points from 3.5% to 4.0%. 
Further, in October 2011, interest rates on savings accounts were deregulated with a uniform interest 
rate to be paid on deposits up to ` 100,000 and differential rates permitted for deposits of over ` 100,000 
depending on the amount.

(cid:135)(cid:3) RBI enhanced the rates of provisioning for non-performing loans in May 2011. Accordingly, the provision 
for restructured non-performing advances when upgraded to standard assets was increased to 2.0% in 

Annual Report 2011-2012      49

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

the first year of upgradation from the earlier level of 0.25-1.0%. For the secured portion of assets classified 
as doubtful, 25.0% provision was required to be made for assets that were classified as doubtful for a 
year (earlier at 20%), 40.0% for assets that were classified as doubtful for one to three years (earlier at 
30%) and 100.0% for assets classified as doubtful for more than three years. Further, for sub-standard 
assets, a provision of 15.0% of the total outstanding was required with effect from May 2011. This was 
an increase over the earlier requirement of 10.0%. Unsecured exposures, which were identified as sub-
standard, attract an additional provision of 10.0%, i.e., a total of 25.0% on the outstanding balance.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In  May  2011,  the  report  of  the  working  group  to  draw  up  a  roadmap  for  the  introduction  of  holding 
company  structure  was  released  with  key  recommendations  favouring  the  financial  holding  company 
structure for the financial sector, particularly large financial groups, with a separate regulatory framework 
for these holding companies.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In  August  2011,  RBI  released  draft  guidelines  for  licensing  of  new  banks  in  the  private  sector.  The 

minimum capital requirement prescribed is ` 5.00 billion.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In October 2011, branch opening in tier 2 centres (centres with population of 50,000 to 99,999 as per 

census 2001) was exempted from prior approval of RBI.

(cid:135)(cid:3) The  all-in  cost  ceiling  (over  6  month  LIBOR)  on  external  commercial  borrowings  of  three  years  to  five 
years maturity was raised from 300 basis points to 350 basis points in November 2011. The all-in cost 
ceiling (over 6 month LIBOR) for five years and above maturity was kept unchanged at 500 basis points. 
Further, the all-in-cost ceiling (over 6 month LIBOR) for trade credit was enhanced from 200 basis points 
to 350 basis points.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In November 2011, RBI issued prudential guidelines for single name credit default swaps on corporate 
bonds. Banks were allowed to undertake such transactions, both as market makers as well as users.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In November 2011, RBI announced guidelines permitting the setting up of Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDF) 
structured as non-banking finance companies (NBFC). Guidelines for banks sponsoring IDF-NBFC include 
cap on equity holding of 49.0% of the IDF-NBFC, and investment not exceeding 10% of the bank’s paid-
up capital and reserves.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In  December  2011,  RBI  announced  the  deregulation  of  interest  rates  on  non-resident  (external)  rupee 
deposits  and  ordinary  non-resident  accounts,  thus  permitting  banks  to  determine  the  interest  rate  on 
savings and term deposits of maturity of one year and above.

(cid:135)(cid:3) RBI  issued  guidelines  on  investments  in  subsidiaries  and  other  companies,  including  investments  in 
non-financial services companies in December 2011. According to the guidelines, equity investments by 
a bank in a subsidiary company or other financial services company cannot exceed 10% of the bank’s 
paid-up share capital and reserves. Equity investment by banks in non-financial services companies was 
capped at 10.0% of the investee company’s paid-up share capital. Equity investments in non-financial 
services companies at the group level, including investments by the bank’s subsidiaries, cannot exceed 
20% of the investee company’s paid-up share capital. Also, overall equity investments by a bank, including 
investments in its subsidiaries and other companies, cannot exceed 20.0% of the bank’s paid-up share 
capital and reserves.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In December 2011, draft guidelines for implementing the Basel III capital regulations were announced 
by  RBI.  Further,  in  May  2012,  final  guidelines  were  issued  as  per  which  Indian  banks  would  have  to 
maintain  a  minimum  common  equity  tier  I  capital  of  5.5%,  a  minimum  tier  1  capital  ratio  of  7.0%  of 
risk weighted assets, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% comprising only common equity capital and 
a  minimum  overall  capital  adequacy  ratio  of  9.0%.  The  Basel  III  regulations  would  be  implemented  in 
phases beginning from January 2013 and would be fully implemented by March 31, 2018.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In December 2011, RBI issued guidelines on the internal ratings based approach for calculation of capital 
charge for credit risks. Banks intending to migrate to the Advanced Measurement Approach for operational 
risk and internal ratings based approaches for credit risk are required to apply to RBI after April 1, 2012.

(cid:135)(cid:3) Microfinance institutions (MFIs) were brought under the regulatory ambit of RBI. Also, RBI decided to 
give  priority  sector  status  to  bank  credit  to  MFIs  extended  on  or  after  April  1,  2011  for  on-lending  for 
specified purposes. In other related announcements, in December 2011, RBI decided to provide NBFC 

50

status to MFIs by allowing a new category of NBFC-MFIs having a minimum networth of ` 50.0 million, 
a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 15.0% of risk weighted assets and with interest on individual loans 
capped at 25.0% per annum with an aggregate margin cap of 12.0%. Also, MFIs were allowed to raise 
external commercial borrowings of up to US$ 10 million. 

(cid:135)(cid:3) In February 2012, RBI released a draft report of the committee set up to review the extant classification 
and guidelines pertaining to priority sector lending. The committee has recommended maintaining the 
priority sector lending target of 40% of adjusted net bank credit. It has recommended that the distinction 
between  direct  and  indirect  agriculture  lending  be  removed,  while  maintaining  the  overall  target  for 
agriculture lending at 18% of adjusted net bank credit and having a new sub-target of 9% for loans to 
small and marginal farmers and 7% for loans to micro and small enterprises. The committee has also 
recommended that deposits deployed against shortfall in achievement of priority sector lending targets 
be netted from the actual penalty for the subsequent years for non-achievement of targets.

(cid:135)(cid:3) In  March  2012,  RBI  released  a  discussion  paper  on  dynamic  loan  loss  provisioning  framework,  which 
proposes to replace the existing general provisioning norms. The objective is to limit the volatility in loan 
loss provisioning requirements witnessed during an economic cycle. 

STANDALONE FINANCIALS AS PER INDIAN GAAP
Summary
During fiscal 2012, we focused on profitable growth by leveraging our rebalanced funding mix and strong 
capital position to grow our loan portfolio and improving the credit quality of our loan portfolio.

Our profit after tax increased by 25.5% from ` 51.51 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 64.65 billion in fiscal 2012. 
The increase in profit after tax was mainly due to a 19.0% increase in net interest income, 12.8% increase 
in non-interest income and 30.8% decrease in provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax). 
Net interest income increased by 19.0% from ` 90.17 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 107.34 billion in fiscal 2012, 
reflecting an increase of 9 basis points in net interest margin and an increase of 15.0% in average interest-
earning assets. 

Non-interest  income  increased  by  12.8%  from  `  66.48  billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  `  75.02  billion  in  fiscal 
2012.  The  increase  in  non-interest  income  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  dividend  income 
from  subsidiaries  from  `  4.11  billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  `  7.36  billion  in  fiscal  2012  and  a  decrease  in 
loss  from  treasury-related  activities  from  `  2.15  billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  `  0.13  billion  in  fiscal  2012.  
Loss  from  treasury-related  activities  for  fiscal  2012  primarily  includes  realised/MTM  provision  on  security 
receipts, offset, in part, by reversal of MTM loss/realised gain on investments in government of India securities 
and other fixed income positions and gain on equity/preference investments. Fee income increased by 4.5% from  
` 64.19 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 67.07 billion in fiscal 2012.

Non-interest  expenses  increased  by  18.6%  from  `  66.17  billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  `  78.50  billion  in  fiscal 
2012  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  employee  expenses  and  other  administrative  expenses.  Provisions 
and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) decreased by 30.8% from  ` 22.87 billion in fiscal 2011 to  
` 15.83 billion in fiscal 2012. 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 from fiscal 2011.

Total  assets  increased  by  16.6%  from  `  4,062.34  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  4,736.47  billion  at  
March  31,  2012.  Total  deposits  increased  by  13.3%  from  `  2,256.02  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  
` 2,555.00 billion at March 31, 2012. Savings account deposits increased by 13.7% from ` 668.69 billion at 
March 31, 2011 to ` 760.46 billion at March 31, 2012. Current and savings account (CASA) deposits ratio was 
43.5% at March 31, 2012 compared to 45.1% at March 31, 2011. Term deposits increased by 16.6% from  
` 1,239.55 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 1,444.81 billion at March 31, 2012. Total advances increased by 17.3% 
from ` 2,163.66 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 2,537.28 billion at March 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase 
in domestic and overseas corporate loans and an increase in the retail loan book. Net non-performing assets 
decreased by 22.9% from ` 24.58 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 18.94 billion at March 31, 2012 and the net 
non-performing asset ratio decreased from 0.94% at March 31, 2011 to 0.62% at March 31, 2012.

2.  All amounts have been rounded off to the nearest ` 10.0 million.

Net interest income increased by 19.0% from ` 90.17 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 107.34 billion in fiscal 2012 
reflecting an increase in net interest margin from 2.64% in fiscal 2011 to 2.73% in fiscal 2012 and a 15.0% 
increase in the average volume of interest-earning assets. 

The yield on interest-earning assets increased from 7.60% in fiscal 2011 to 8.53% in fiscal 2012 and cost of 
funds increased from 5.35% in fiscal 2011 to 6.33% in fiscal 2012. Net interest margin increased from 2.64% 
in fiscal 2011 to 2.73% in fiscal 2012. The higher increase in average interest-earning assets compared to 
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities led to an increase in net interest margin. Net interest margin of 
overseas branches improved from 0.88% for fiscal 2011 to 1.23% for fiscal 2012 primarily due to increase in 
yield on overseas advances.

Yield on interest-earning assets increased from 7.60% in fiscal 2011 to 8.53% in fiscal 2012 primarily due to 
the following factors:

(cid:135)(cid:3) Yield on average advances increased from 8.53% in fiscal 2011 to 9.55% in fiscal 2012 primarily due to 
increase in yield on domestic and overseas corporate loans which increased as a result of incremental 
disbursements at higher lending rates and reflecting the rising interest rate environment. Further, the yield 
on advances was also higher on account of increase in ICICI Bank‘s Base Rate from 8.75% at March 31, 2011 
to 10.00% at March 31, 2012.

Annual Report 2011-2012      53

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

(cid:135)(cid:3) Yield  on  average  interest-earning  investments  increased  from  6.39%  in  fiscal  2011  to  7.24%  in  fiscal 
2012 primarily due to investment in Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) securities at higher yields and reset 
of interest rates on floating rate bonds at higher levels. The yield on average interest-earning non-SLR 
investments increased from 6.55% in fiscal 2011 to 7.10% in fiscal 2012, primarily due to an increase in 
investment in higher-yielding credit substitutes like corporate bonds and debentures.

(cid:135)(cid:3) Interest income also includes interest on income tax refund of ` 0.80 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to 
` 1.65 billion in fiscal 2011. 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) During fiscal 2012, interest income was also impacted by losses on securitised pools of assets (including 

credit losses on existing pools) of ` 2.02 billion as compared to ` 5.49 billion in fiscal 2011. 

(cid:135)(cid:3) RBI reduced the CRR by 50 basis points from 6.00% to 5.50% with effect from January 28, 2012 and 
further by 75 basis points to 4.75% with effect from March 10, 2012. As CRR balances do not earn any 
interest income, these reductions had a positive impact on the overall yield in fiscal 2012.

The cost of funds increased from 5.35% in fiscal 2011 to 6.33% in fiscal 2012 primarily due to the following factors:

(cid:135)(cid:3) The cost of deposits increased from 4.92% in fiscal 2011 to 6.12% in fiscal 2012. The cost of average term 
deposits increased from 6.51% in fiscal 2011 to 8.21% in fiscal 2012 reflecting the impact of increase in 
deposit rates seen from the second half of fiscal 2011. The deposit rates continued to increase during 
fiscal 2012 in line with system rates due to tight systemic liquidity, the rising interest rate environment 
and monetary policy stance of RBI. The impact of the increase in deposits rates in fiscal 2011 and further 
increase in deposit rates during fiscal 2012 is reflected in higher cost of deposits.

(cid:135)(cid:3) RBI increased the rate on savings account deposits to 4.00% on daily average balances with effect from 
May 3, 2011 resulting in an increase in cost of average savings account deposits in fiscal 2012 compared 
to fiscal 2011. In its second quarter review of monetary policy 2011-12 issued on October 25, 2011, RBI 
deregulated the savings bank deposit interest rate with immediate effect and banks are free to determine 
their savings bank deposit interest rate. Any increase in the savings deposit rate by the Bank will result 
in increase in cost of deposits.

(cid:135)(cid:3) Cost  of  borrowings  increased  from  6.14%  in  fiscal  2011  to  6.71%  in  fiscal  2012  primarily  on  account  of 
increase in cost of refinance borrowings and call and term borrowings in line with movement in market rates.

Net  interest  margin  of  overseas  branches  improved  from  0.88%  for  fiscal  2011  to  1.23%  for  fiscal  2012 
primarily due to increase in yield on overseas advances. Yield on overseas advances increased primarily due 
to new disbursements at higher interest rates and repayment and prepayment of low yielding loans. 

The  reduction  of  CRR  by  125  basis  points  to  4.75%  and  a  reduction  in  repo  rate  by  50  basis  points  to 
8.00% by RBI, indicates a reversal in policy stance. While the interest rates in the system are believed to 
have peaked the extent and timing of decline in interest rates will depend on systemic liquidity, the future 
movement of inflation as well as on the evolving fiscal situation.

The average volume of interest-earning assets increased by 15.0% from ` 3,418.59 billion in fiscal 2011 to  
` 3,932.59 billion in fiscal 2012. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily on account of an 
increase in average advances by ` 390.17 billion and average interest-earning investments by ` 100.04 billion.

Average  advances  increased  by  20.3%  from  `  1,926.52  billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  `  2,316.69  billion  in  fiscal 
2012  primarily  on  account  of  increase  in  domestic  and  overseas  corporate  advances.  Retail  advances 
increased  by  7.7%  from  `  836.75  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  901.30  billion  at  March  31,  2012.  
In  US  dollar  terms,  the  net  advances  of  overseas  branches  increased  by  9.7%  from  US$  12.4  billion  
at  March  31,  2011  to  US$  13.6  billion  at  March  31,  2012.  However,  due  to  rupee  depreciation,  the  net 
advances of overseas branches, in rupee terms, increased by 26.0% from ` 550.97 billion at March 31, 2011 to  
` 694.03 billion at March 31, 2012.

Average interest-earning investments increased by 8.1% from ` 1,237.42 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 1,337.46 
billion in fiscal 2012, primarily due to an increase in average interest-earning non-SLR investments by 17.0% 
from ` 455.34 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 532.94 billion in fiscal 2012. Average SLR investments increased by 
2.9% from ` 782.07 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 804.52 billion in fiscal 2012. Interest-earning non-SLR investments 
primarily include investments in corporate bonds and debentures, certificates of deposits, commercial paper, 
Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) & related investments and investments in liquid mutual funds. 

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 13.7% from ` 3,168.26 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 3,603.51 
billion in fiscal 2012 on account of an increase of ` 289.89 billion in average deposits and an increase of  
` 145.35 billion in average borrowings. The increase in average deposits was due to an increase in average 
term deposits and average CASA deposits. The ratio of average CASA deposits to average deposits remained 
constant at about 39.1% in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011. The increase in average borrowings was due 
to increase in overseas borrowings and call and short-term borrowings. The overseas borrowings increased 
primarily due to the impact of rupee depreciation.

Non-interest income primarily includes fee and commission income, income from treasury-related activities 
and lease and other income. The non-interest income increased by 12.8% from ` 66.48 billion in fiscal 2011 
to ` 75.02 billion in fiscal 2012. The increase in non-interest income was primarily on account of a decrease 
in loss from treasury-related activities and an increase in dividend income from subsidiaries. 

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 ` 64.19 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 67.07 billion in fiscal 2012 primarily due to an 
increase  in  fee  income  from  forex  and  derivative  products  including  remittance  fees,  credit  cards,  third 
party referral fees and transaction banking fees, offset, in part, by decrease in loan processing fees due to a 
slowdown in new project and investment plans for the corporate sector. 

Annual Report 2011-2012      55

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Income from foreign exchange transactions with clients and from margins on derivatives transactions with 
clients increased by 42.8% from ` 7.95 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 11.35 billion in fiscal 2012.

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. 

Loss on treasury-related activities decreased from ` 2.15 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 0.13 billion in fiscal 2012. 
Loss  from  treasury-related  activities  for  fiscal  2012  primarily  includes  realised/MTM  provision  on  security 
receipts,  offset,  in  part,  by  reversal  of  MTM  loss/realised  gain  on  investments  in  government  of  India 
securities  and  other  fixed  income  positions  and  gain  on  equity/preference  investments.  Treasury  income 
for fiscal 2011 primarily included loss on investments in government of India securities and realised/MTM 
provision on security receipts, offset, in part, by gains on equity investments.

During fiscal 2012, there was a gain on the credit derivatives portfolio amounting to ` 0.56 billion compared 
to a gain of ` 0.15 billion in fiscal 2011.

At March 31, 2012, we had an outstanding net investment of ` 18.32 billion in security receipts issued by 
asset reconstruction companies in relation to sale of non-performing loans. 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 2012, the impact of these security receipts on the income from treasury-
related activities was a loss of ` 4.08 billion compared to a loss of ` 2.31 billion in fiscal 2011. 

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 increased from ` 4.44 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 8.08 billion in fiscal 2012 
primarily on account of increase in dividend income from subsidiaries. During fiscal 2012, dividend income 
included dividend of ` 2.32 billion received from ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company and ` 1.22 billion 
from ICICI Bank UK.

` 66.17 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 78.50 billion in fiscal 2012 primarily due to an increase in employee expenses 
and other administrative expenses.

56

Payments to and provisions for employees
Employee expenses increased by 24.8% from ` 28.17 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 35.15 billion in fiscal 2012. 
Employee  expenses  increased  primarily  due  to  annual  increase  in  salaries  and  performance  bonus  and 
increase in the employee base, including sales executives, employees on fixed term contracts and interns. 
The  average  number  of  employees  increased  by  around  18%  in  fiscal  2012  compared  to  fiscal  2011  (at 
March 31, 2011: 56,969 employees and at March 31, 2012: 58,276 employees).

Depreciation
Depreciation on owned property decreased marginally from ` 4.84 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 4.82 billion in 
fiscal 2012. Depreciation on leased assets decreased from ` 0.79 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 0.42 billion in fiscal 
2012 primarily 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 administrative expenses increased by 18.5% from ` 30.80 
billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  `  36.51  billion  in  fiscal  2012.  The  increase  in  other  administrative  expenses  was 
primarily due to increase in our branch and ATM network. The number of branches and extension counters 
(excluding foreign branches and offshore banking units) increased from 2,529 at March 31, 2011 to 2,752 at 
March 31, 2012. We also increased our ATM network from 6,104 ATMs at March 31, 2011 to 9,006 ATMs at 
March 31, 2012. The increase in other administrative expenses was offset, in part, by a decrease in collection 
expenses and advertisement expenses. 

Direct marketing agency expenses
Direct marketing agency expenses increased marginally from ` 1.57 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 1.60 billion in 
fiscal 2012. 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.

(30.8)%

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. 

During fiscal 2012, RBI revised rates of provisioning for non-performing assets and restructured advances. 
Accordingly, we made an additional provision of 5% to 10% on our non-performing advances. During fiscal 
2012, RBI also revised rates of provisioning for standard restructured advances from 0.25%-1% (depending 
upon the category of advance) to 2%.
Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) decreased by 30.8% from ` 22.87 billion in fiscal 
2011 to ` 15.83 billion in fiscal 2012 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 since fiscal 2011.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Provision for investments increased from ` 2.04 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 4.13 billion in fiscal 2012 primarily 
due to permanent diminution recognised on certain investments.

Our provisioning coverage ratio at March 31, 2012 computed as per the RBI guidelines was 80.4%.

No additional general provision was required on standard assets during fiscal 2012. 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, 2012 compared to the general provision requirement of about ` 13.82 billion.

Tax expense
The  income  tax  expense  (including  wealth  tax)  increased  by  45.2%  from  `  16.10  billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  
`  23.38  billion  in  fiscal  2012.  The  effective  tax  rate  of  26.6%  in  fiscal  2012  was  higher  compared  to  the 
effective tax rate of 23.8% in fiscal 2011. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 included tax benefits related to 
the amalgamation of Bank of Rajasthan.

Total assets increased by 16.6% from ` 4,062.34 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 4,736.47 billion at March 31, 
2012,  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  advances  and  investments.  Net  advances  increased  by  17.3%  from  
` 2,163.66 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 2,537.28 billion at March 31, 2012. Investments increased by 18.5% 
from ` 1,346.86 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 1,595.60 billion at March 31, 2012.

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  increased  from  `  340.90  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  
` 362.29 billion at March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in term money lending 
and  call  money  lending  by  overseas  branches.  The  balances  with  RBI  decreased  from  `  171.23  billion  at  
March 31, 2011 to ` 157.92 billion at March 31, 2012 primarily due to reduction in CRR by 125 basis points 
from 6.00% at March 31, 2011 to 4.75% at March 31, 2012.

Investments
Total  investments  increased  by  18.5%  from  `  1,346.86  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  1,595.60  billion  at  
March  31,  2012,  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  investment  in  government  securities  by  `  228.19  billion, 
corporate bonds and debentures by ` 33.67 billion, RIDF and related investments in lieu of shortfall in directed 
lending  requirements  by  `  30.23  billion  and  certificates  of  deposit  by  `  16.83  billion  at  March  31,  2012 
compared to March 31, 2011. The investment in mutual funds decreased by ` 17.25 billion, gross funded 
credit derivatives by ` 10.60 billion, pass-through-certificates by ` 9.71 billion and commercial paper by ` 5.70 
billion at March 31, 2012 compared to March 31, 2011. The transactions with RBI under LAF are accounted 
for as borrowing and lending transactions at March 31, 2012, while they were previously accounted for as 
purchase and sale transactions. At March 31, 2012, we had an outstanding net investment of ` 18.32 billion 
in  security  receipts  issued  by  asset  reconstruction  companies  in  relation  to  sale  of  non-performing  loans 
compared  to  `  28.31  billion  at  March  31,  2011.  At  March  31,  2012,  we  have  notional  non-funded  credit 
derivatives of ` 10.25 billion. We have no funded credit derivatives outstanding at March 31, 2012.

Advances
Net advances increased by 17.3% from ` 2,163.66 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 2,537.28 billion at March 31, 
2012  primarily  due  to  increase  in  domestic  and  overseas  corporate  loans.  Net  retail  advances  increased 
by  7.7%  from  `  836.75  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  901.30  billion  at  March  31,  2012.  Net  advances  of 
overseas branches (including offshore banking unit) increased in USD terms by 9.7% from US$ 12.4 billion at  
March 31, 2011 to US$ 13.6 billion at March 31, 2012. In rupee terms, net advances of overseas branches 
(including offshore banking unit) increased by 26.0% from ` 550.97 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 694.03 
billion at March 31, 2012.

Fixed and other assets
Net  fixed  assets  decreased  by  2.7%  from  `  47.44  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  46.15  billion  at  
March 31, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in assets given on lease. Other assets increased by 19.4% from

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Total liabilities (including capital and reserves) increased by 16.6% from ` 4,062.34 billion at March 31, 2011 
to ` 4,736.47 billion at March 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase in borrowings and deposits. Deposits 
increased  from  `  2,256.02  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  2,555.00  billion  at  March  31,  2012.  Borrowings,  
including  subordinated  debt  and  preference  share  capital,  increased  from  `  1,095.54  billion  at  March  31, 
2011 to ` 1,401.65 billion at March 31, 2012.

Deposits
Deposits  increased  by  13.3%  from  `  2,256.02  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  2,555.00  billion  at  March  31, 
2012.  Term  deposits  increased  from  `  1,239.55  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  1,444.81  billion  at  
March 31, 2012, while savings deposits increased from ` 668.69 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 760.46 billion at  
March 31, 2012 and current deposits increased from ` 347.78 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 349.73 billion at 
March 31, 2012. Total deposits at March 31, 2012 formed 64.6% of the funding (i.e. deposits and borrowings, 
including  subordinated  debt  and  excluding  preference  share  capital).  The  current  and  savings  account 
deposits increased from ` 1,016.47 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 1,110.19 billion at March 31, 2012.

Borrowings (including subordinated debt and preference share capital)
Borrowings  increased  from  `  1,095.54  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  1,401.65  billion  at  March  31,  2012 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  transactions  with  RBI  under  LAF  and  overseas  borrowings,  offset,  in  part, 
by  repayment  of  domestic  term  money  borrowings.  The  transactions  with  RBI  under  LAF  are  accounted 
for  as  borrowing  and  lending  transactions  from  the  quarter  ended  March  31,  2012,  while  they  were 
previously  accounted  for  as  purchase  and  sale  transactions.  At  March  31,  2012,  `  168.00  billion  has 
been  recorded  as  borrowings  under  LAF.  The  increase  in  overseas  borrowings  was  on  account  of  rupee 
depreciation,  bond  borrowings  and  short-term  borrowings.  The  borrowings  of  overseas  branches 
(including  offshore  banking  unit)  increased  in  USD  terms  by  5.7%  from  US$  12.3  billion  at  March  31, 
2011  to  US$  13.0  billion  at  March  31,  2012.  In  rupee  terms,  borrowings  of  overseas  branches  (including 
offshore  banking  unit)  increased  by  20.2%  from  `  550.48  billion  at  March  31,  2011  to  `  661.87  billion  at 
March  31,  2012.  The  capital-eligible  borrowings,  other  than  preference  share  capital,  increased  from  
` 363.91 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 376.15 billion at March 31, 2012.

Equity share capital and reserves
Equity share capital and reserves increased from ` 550.91 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 604.05 billion at 
March 31, 2012 primarily due to annual accretion to reserves out of profit.

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 

60

 
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. 

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. Cash margins available to us to reimburse 
losses  realised  under  guarantees  amounted  to  `  31.63  billion  at  March  31,  2012  and  `  24.39  billion  at  
March 31, 2011. Other property or security may also be available to us to cover losses under 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 and classified these items as possible obligation based on legal 
opinion/judicial precedents/assessment by the Bank. 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  `  4.33  billion  at  March  31,  2012  compared  to  
` 3.58 billion at March 31, 2011 primarily on account of new branches and office premises.

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.

Annual Report 2011-2012      61

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

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, 2012, the prudential floor at 
80% of the minimum capital requirement under Basel I was ` 332.50 billion and was lower than the minimum 
capital  requirement  of  `  358.73  billion  under  Basel  II.  Hence,  we  have  maintained  capital  adequacy  at  
March 31, 2012 as per the Basel II norms.

Movement  in  our  capital  funds  and  risk  weighted  assets  from  March  31,  2011  to  March  31,  2012  
(as per RBI guidelines on Basel II)

During fiscal 2012, capital funds increased by ` 70.88 billion primarily due to accretion to retained earnings, 
incremental notional tax payable on special reserves of ` 2.11 billion, the issuance of lower Tier-II debt capital 
of ` 16.00 billion and reduction of ` 20.60 billion in deduction from capital funds on account of securitisation 
exposures.

Credit risk RWA increased by ` 558.95 billion from ` 2,909.79 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 3,468.74 billion 
at March 31, 2012 primarily due to increase of ` 409.48 billion in RWA for on-balance sheet credit exposures 
and increase of ` 149.47 billion in RWA for off-balance sheet credit exposures. 

Market risk RWA increased by ` 13.14 billion from ` 255.52 billion at March 31, 2011 to ` 268.66 billion at 
March 31, 2012. The general market risk RWA increased by ` 15.35 billion (capital charge of ` 1.38 billion). 

The  operational  risk  RWA  at  March  31,  2012  was  `  248.46  billion  (capital  charge  of  `  22.36  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.

62

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 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:

(cid:135)(cid:3) strategic focus, business plan and growth objectives;
(cid:135)(cid:3) regulatory capital requirements as per RBI guidelines;
(cid:135)(cid:3) assessment of material risks and impact of stress testing;
(cid:135)(cid:3) perception of credit rating agencies, shareholders and investors;
(cid:135)(cid:3) future strategy with regard to investments or divestments in subsidiaries; and
(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.  BCBS  has  stipulated  a 
phased implementation of the Basel III framework between January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2019.

On May 2, 2012, RBI issued the final guidelines on the Basel III capital regulations. 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 and demonstrated track record of access 
to domestic and overseas markets for capital raising will enable us to adapt to the Basel III framework. RBI 
issued the draft guidelines on Basel III liquidity standards on February 21, 2012 and solicited feedback from 
the industry on these guidelines. The final guidelines on Basel III liquidity standards are awaited from RBI.

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.  In  line  with  this,  we  experienced  rapid  growth  in  our  retail  loan  portfolio  and  an 
increase  in  the  proportion  of  retail  loans  in  our  total  loans.  From  fiscal  2008,  the  share  of  retail  loans  in 

Annual Report 2011-2012      63

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

our total loan portfolio reduced as a result of moderation in systemic retail growth, our conscious strategy 
of reducing the unsecured retail loan portfolio, higher level of repayments/prepayments from the existing 
secured retail portfolio relative to incremental disbursements and the higher pace of growth in the non-retail 
portfolio.  In  fiscal  2012,  we  saw  an  increase  in  retail  lending  volumes  in  secured  retail  products.  In  fiscal 
2012, our total retail portfolio grew by 7.1% and our secured retail portfolio grew by 9.4%.

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 and export credit.

RBI guideline on priority sector lending requires the banks to lend 40.0% of their adjusted net bank credit 
(ANBC), or credit equivalent amount of off balance sheet exposure (CEOBE), whichever is higher, to certain 
activities carried out by the specified borrowers. The definition of ANBC includes certain investments and 
is  computed  with  reference  to  the  respective  amounts  at  March  31  of  the  previous  year.  Priority  sector 
includes lending to agricultural sector, food and agri-based industries, small enterprises/businesses, housing 
finance up to certain limits and lending to borrowers belonging to weaker sections. Out of the 40.0%, banks 
are required to lend a minimum of 18.0% of their ANBC to the agriculture sector and the balance to certain 
specified sectors. The banks are also required to lend 10.0% of their ANBC, or COEBE, whichever is higher, 
to the weaker sections.

While  granting  its  approval  for  the  amalgamation  of  ICICI  Limited  and  ICICI  Bank  Limited,  RBI  stipulated 
specific requirements for the Bank since the loans of erstwhile ICICI Limited (ICICI) transferred to us were 
not subject to the priority sector lending requirement. With effect from fiscal 2013, the targets for ICICI Bank 
would be at par with other banks i.e. 40.0%, 18.0% and 10.0% respectively of ANBC or CEOBE, whichever 
is higher.

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  March  31,  2012,  our  total  investment  in  such  bonds  was  
` 181.03 billion.

At March 23, 2012, the last reporting Friday for fiscal 2012, our priority sector lending was ` 614.05 billion, 
constituting about 95.0% of our requirements. At that date, the qualifying agriculture loans were ` 175.57 
billion constituting about 75.0% of our requirements. Our advances to weaker sections were ` 42.18 billion 
constituting about 39.0% of our requirements.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

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. 

The following table sets forth, at March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, information regarding the classification 
of our gross customer assets (net of write-offs, interest suspense and derivatives income reversal).

At March 31, 2012, the gross NPAs (net of write-offs, interest suspense and derivatives income reversal) were 
` 95.63 billion compared to ` 101.14 billion at March 31, 2011. Net NPAs were ` 18.94 billion at March 31, 
2012 compared to ` 24.58 billion at March 31, 2011. The ratio of net NPAs to net customer assets decreased 
from 0.94% at March 31, 2011 to 0.62% at March 31, 2012. During fiscal 2012, we wrote-off NPAs, including 
retail NPAs, with an aggregate outstanding of ` 11.83 billion against ` 2.29 billion during fiscal 2011.

Our  provision  coverage  ratio  (i.e.  total  provisions  made  against  NPAs  as  a  percentage  of  gross  NPAs) 
at  March  31,  2012  was  80.4%.  At  March  31,  2012,  total  general  provision  held  against  standard  assets 
was  `  14.80  billion  compared  to  the  general  provision  requirement  as  per  the  RBI  guidelines  of  about  
` 13.82 billion. The excess provision was not reversed in line with the RBI guidelines.

At  March  31,  2012,  the  net  non-performing  loans  in  the  retail  portfolio  were  0.8%  of  net  retail  loans  as 
compared with 1.5% at March 31, 2011. 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,  2012,  the  net  non-
performing  loans  in  the  collateralised  retail  portfolio  were  0.7%  of  the  net  collateralised  retail  loans  and 
net  non-performing  loans  in  the  non-collateralised  retail  portfolio  (including  overdraft  financing  against 
automobiles) were about 2.4% of net non-collateralised retail loans.

During fiscal 2012, we restructured loans aggregating ` 36.42 billion as compared to ` 13.66 billion during 
fiscal 2011.

Our  aggregate  investments  in  security  receipts  issued  by  asset  reconstruction  companies  were  `  18.32 
billion at March 31, 2012 as compared to ` 28.31 billion at March 31, 2011.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

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.

The standalone segmental report for the year ended March 31, 2012, based on the segments identified and 
defined by RBI, has been presented as follows:
(cid:135)(cid:3) Retail Banking includes exposures of the Bank, which satisfy the four qualifying criteria of ‘regulatory retail 

portfolio’ as stipulated by the RBI guidelines on Basel II framework. 

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) Treasury includes the entire investment portfolio of the Bank.
(cid:135)(cid:3) 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 requirement and directed lending requirements. 

Retail banking segment
The profit before tax of the retail banking segment was ` 5.50 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to a loss of  
`  5.14  billion  in  fiscal  2011,  primarily  due  to  decline  in  provisions  for  loan  losses  in  the  unsecured  retail 
portfolio and increase in net interest income.

Net interest income increased by 14.9% from ` 33.20 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 38.15 billion in fiscal 2012 
primarily due to increase in average CASA deposits of the retail banking segment, offset, in part, by increased 
cost of savings account deposits effective May 3, 2011. 

Non-interest income increased by 21.7% from ` 21.16 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 25.76 billion in fiscal 2012, 
primarily due to higher level of foreign exchange and third party referral fees and fees from the credit card 
portfolio.

Provisions decreased by 86.4% from ` 13.81 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 1.88 billion fiscal 2012, primarily due 
to decline in provisions for loan losses in the unsecured retail portfolio. The credit losses in the retail asset 
portfolio  continued  to  be  lower  on  account  of  sharp  reduction  in  accretion  to  retail  non-performing  loans 
since fiscal 2011.

Wholesale banking segment
Profit  before  tax  of  the  wholesale  banking  segment  increased  from  `  49.00  billion  in  fiscal  2011  to  
` 62.07 billion in fiscal 2012 primarily due to increase in net interest income offset, in part, by increase in 
provisions.

Net interest income increased by 46.4% from ` 33.72 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 49.37 billion in fiscal 2012 
primarily driven by loan growth in the wholesale banking segment. Non-interest income increased by 2.9% 
from ` 39.85 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 41.01 billion for fiscal 2012, primarily due to the continued traction 
in granular fee income streams like foreign exchange and transaction banking related fees from corporate 
clients, offset, in part, by moderation in lending linked fee income. Provisions were higher primarily due to 
the impact of restructuring of loans during the year and RBI’s increased provisioning requirements on non-
performing assets.

Treasury banking segment
Profit before tax of the treasury segment decreased from ` 22.01 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 20.81 billion in 
fiscal 2012 primarily due to increase in provisions against investments, offset, in part, by increase in non-

68

interest income. The non-interest income was higher primarily due to higher level of dividend income from 
subsidiaries and reversal of MTM loss/realised gain on its government securities portfolio and other fixed 
income positions, offset, in part, by higher level of losses on security receipts.

Other banking segment
The other banking segment incurred a loss of ` 0.35 billion in fiscal 2012 compared to profit of ` 1.74 billion 
in fiscal 2011 primarily due to lower interest on income-tax refunds.

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 ` 60.93 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 76.43 billion in fiscal 2012 mainly due to improved 
financial performance of ICICI Bank, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and ICICI Securities 
Primary Dealership Limited offset, in part, by decline in profits of certain subsidiaries and increase in net loss 
of ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited. The consolidated return on average equity increased 
from 11.6% in fiscal 2011 to 13.0% in fiscal 2012. 

Profit after tax of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited increased from ` 8.08 billion in fiscal 2011 
to ` 13.84 billion in fiscal 2012 due to higher profits from existing policies and lower upfront expenses due 
to lower new business. Investment income increased from ` 5.95 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 8.43 billion in 
fiscal 2012 primarily due to increase in average non-linked assets under management. Operating expenses 
decreased by 10.5% from ` 19.90 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 17.81 billion in fiscal 2012. New business annual 
premium equivalent (APE) decreased by 21.6% from ` 39.75 billion during fiscal 2011 to ` 31.18 billion during 
fiscal 2012.

Net loss of ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited (ICICI General) increased from ` 0.80 billion in 
fiscal 2011 to ` 4.16 billion in fiscal 2012. In accordance with IRDA guidelines, ICICI General, together with all other 
general insurance companies participated 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 had instructed all general insurance companies to provide loss reserves at a provisional loss ratio of 153.0% 
as against loss ratio of 122-126.0% (for each of the four years from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2011) in the financial 
results for fiscal 2011. Accordingly, net loss of ICICI General for fiscal 2011 included the impact of the additional 
Pool losses of ` 2.72 billion. IRDA through its orders dated December 23, 2011, January 3, 2012 and March 22, 
2012 had directed the dismantling of the Pool on a clean cut basis and advised to recognise Pool liabilities as per 
the loss ratios estimated by GAD UK (GAD Estimates) for all underwriting years commencing from fiscal 2008 
to fiscal 2012, with an option to recognise the same over a three year period. ICICI General has recognised the 
additional liabilities of the Pool in the current year and therefore net loss of ICICI General for fiscal 2012 includes 
the impact of the additional Pool losses of ` 6.85 billion.

ICICI  Bank  Canada  has  adopted  IFRS  for  interim  and  annual  financial  statements  relating  to  fiscal  years 
beginning on or after January 1, 2011 and accordingly financial results of fiscal 2012 are based on IFRS as 
against financial results of fiscal 2011 which were based on Canadian GAAP. The primary difference in the 
accounting  treatment  under  IFRS  vis-à-vis  Canadian  GAAP  relates  to  securitisation  of  mortgages.  Under 
Canadian GAAP, the securitisation of mortgages was treated as a true sale and the mortgages securitised 
were  derecognised  from  the  financial  statements.  Under  IFRS,  mortgages  securitised  are  not  eligible  for 
derecognition. Profit after tax of ICICI Bank Canada increased from ` 1.45 billion (CAD 32.4 million) in fiscal 
2011 to ` 1.66 billion (CAD 34.4 million) in fiscal 2012 primarily due to increase in net interest income on 
account of increase in average volume of interest-earning assets, MTM gains on derivatives and investments 
in fiscal 2012 as compared to MTM losses in fiscal 2011, offset, in part, by higher provisions on loans, loss 
realised  on  sale  of  investments  in  fiscal  2012  as  compared  to  gains  realised  in  fiscal  2011  and  gains  on 
securitisation of insured mortgages in fiscal 2011. 

Profit after tax of ICICI Bank UK PLC decreased from ` 1.67 billion (USD 36.6 million) in fiscal 2011 to ` 1.22 
billion (USD 25.4 million) in fiscal 2012 primarily due to decrease in net interest income on account of decline

to  `  0.86  billion  in  fiscal  2012  due  to  increase  in  trading  gains  despite  an  increase  in  yield  on  10  year 
government securities during fiscal 2012 offset, in part, by decrease in net interest income on account of 
higher funding costs.

Profit after tax of ICICI Securities Limited decreased from ` 1.13 billion in fiscal 2011 to ` 0.77 billion in fiscal 
2012 primarily due to decrease in overall cash turnover in the equity markets and reduced opportunities in

billion in fiscal 2012 primarily due to increase in net interest income, offset, in part, by higher provisions on

2011 to ` 0.68 billion in fiscal 2012 primarily due to decrease in management fees and increase in staff cost,

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, Hong Kong, 
Dubai, Qatar, Sri Lanka and New York-USA 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, Hong Kong, Dubai, Qatar, Sri Lanka and New York-USA 
branches, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 1,140,883 million as at 31 March 2012, the total revenue 
of Rs. 53,809 million for the year ended 31 March 2012 and net cash flows amounting to Rs. 119,605 million for the year 
ended 31 March 2012. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors, duly qualified to act 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) 

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

c)  We have visited 100 branches of the Bank for the purpose of our audit;

d) 

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;

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

the books of account and with audited returns of the branches;

f) 

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; 

g)  On the basis of written representations received from the directors, as on 31 March 2012, 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;

h) 

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;

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 (as amended) 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 that 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) 

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 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. Finance leases entered into prior to April 1, 2001 have been accounted 
for as per the Guidance Note on Accounting for Leases issued by ICAI. The finance leases entered post April 1, 2001 
have been accounted for as per Accounting Standard 19 - Leases issued by ICAI. 
Income on discounted instruments is recognised over the tenure of the instrument on a constant yield basis.

c) 
d)  Dividend is accounted on an accrual basis when the right to receive the dividend is established.
e)  Loan processing fee is accounted for upfront when it becomes due.
f)  Project appraisal/structuring fee is accounted for on the completion of the agreed service.
g)  Arranger fee is accounted for as income when a significant portion of the arrangement/syndication is completed.
h)  Commission received on guarantees issued is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the guarantee. 
i)  All other fees are accounted for as and when they become due.
j)  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. 

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

g)  Market repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions 
respectively in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. The transactions with RBI under Liquidity Adjustment 
Facility (LAF) are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions from the quarter ended March 31, 2012. 
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 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  the  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 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 for government of 
India and state government securities where settlement date method of accounting is followed 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. Advances held at the overseas branches 
that are identified as impaired as per host country regulations but which are standard as per the extant RBI guidelines 
are identified as NPAs at borrower level. 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, which are standard as per the extant RBI guidelines but are classified 
as NPAs based on host country guidelines, provisions are made as per the host country regulations. 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.

e) 

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.

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 

has been put to use.
Items costing upto ` 5,000/- are depreciated fully over a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.

c. 
d.  Assets at residences of Bank’s employees are depreciated at 20% per annum.
e. 

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 based on 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 based on 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  determined  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. 
Upto 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 including dearness relief 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 by the trust and the liability is funded as per actuarial valuation. The Bank 

F15

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
schedules

forming part of the Accounts (Contd.)

purchases annuities from LIC and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited as part of master policies for payment 
of pension to retired employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura, erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan. 
Actuarial valuation of the pension liability for all the above funds is determined by an actuary appointed by the Bank. 
Actuarial  valuation  of  pension  liability  is  calculated  based  on  certain  assumptions  regarding  rate  of  interest,  salary 
growth, mortality and staff attrition as per the projected unit credit method.
Employees covered by the pension plan are not eligible for employer’s contribution 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.
Actuarial valuation for the interest rate guarantee on the provident fund balances is determined by an actuary appointed 
by the Bank.
Leave encashment
The  Bank  provides  for  leave  encashment  benefit,  which  is  a  long-term  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 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 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.

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 requirement under Basel I. At March 31, 2012, the prudential floor at 80% of the minimum capital 
requirement under Basel I was ` 332,499.0 million and was lower than the minimum capital requirement of ` 358,727.2 
million under Basel II. Hence, the Bank has maintained capital adequacy at March 31, 2012 as per the Basel II norms.

Information about business and geographical segments

Business Segments 
Pursuant to the guidelines issued by RBI on Accounting Standard 17 – (Segment Reporting) - Enhancement of Disclosures 
dated April 18, 2007, effective from year ended March 31, 2008, the following business segments have been reported.

 (cid:120)

Retail Banking includes exposures which satisfy the four criteria of orientation, product, granularity and low value 
of  individual  exposures  for  retail  exposures  laid  down  in  Basel  Committee  on  Banking  Supervision  document 
“International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework”.

 (cid:120) Wholesale Banking includes all advances to trusts, partnership firms, companies and statutory bodies, which are 

 (cid:120)
 (cid:120)

not included under Retail Banking.

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.

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 transfer pricing mechanism of the Bank is periodically reviewed. The segment results are determined based on the 
transfer pricing mechanism prevailing for the respective reporting periods.

6.  Preference shares

Certain government securities amounting to ` 2,578.1 million at March 31, 2012 (March 31, 2011: ` 2,563.8 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.

7.  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 from fiscal 2004 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 September, 2011 vest in a graded manner over a 
five years period with 15%, 20%, 20% and 45% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months from 
the date of the 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. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or 
five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of ` 21.0 
million was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2012 (March 31, 2011 ` 2.9 million). 

If ICICI Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the year ended 
March 31, 2012 would have been higher by ` 1,816.1 million and proforma profit after tax would have been ` 62.83 
billion. On a proforma basis, ICICI Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share would have been ` 54.52 and ` 54.37 
respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 
2012 are given below.

Risk-free interest rate ...................................................................................................................

7.99% to 9.07%

Expected life ................................................................................................................................
Expected volatility .......................................................................................................................

6.35 to 6.98 years
47.53% to 49.20%

Expected dividend yield ..............................................................................................................

1.26% to 1.60%

The  weighted  average  fair  value  of  options  granted  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2012  is  `  592.52  per  option  
(March 31, 2011: ` 535.87). 

A summary of the status of the Bank’s stock option plan is given below.

15.  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 
Derivative policy of the Bank, which lays down the position 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 policy 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) guidelines.

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.

The Bank enters into FRA and IRS contracts for balance sheet management and market making purposes whereby the 
Bank offers derivative products to its customers to enable them to hedge their interest rate risk within the prevalent 
regulatory guidelines. 

A  FRA  is  a  financial  contract  between  two  parties  to  exchange  interest  payments  for  a  `notional  principal’  amount 
on settlement date, for a specified period from start date to maturity date. Accordingly, on the settlement date, cash 
payments based on contract rate and the settlement rate, which is the agreed bench-mark/reference rate prevailing on 
the settlement date, are made by the parties to one another. The benchmark used in the FRA contracts of the Bank is 
LIBOR of various currencies. 

An IRS is a financial contract between two parties exchanging or swapping a stream of interest payments for a `notional 
principal’  amount  on  multiple  occasions  during  a  specified  period.  The  Bank  deals  in  interest  rate  benchmarks  like 
MIBOR, INBMK, MIFOR and LIBOR of various currencies. 

These  contracts  are  subject  to  the  risks  of  changes  in  market  interest  rates  as  well  as  the  settlement  risk  with  the 
counterparties.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the details of the forward rate agreements/interest rate swaps.

Contingent liability

Brief Description

Claims against 
the Bank, not 
acknowledged as 
debts

This item represents certain demands made in certain tax and legal matters against the 
Bank in the normal course of business and customer claims arising in fraud cases. In 
accordance with the Bank’s accounting policy and Accounting Standard 29, the Bank 
has reviewed and classified these items as possible obligations based on legal opinion/
judicial precedents/assessment by the Bank.

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  the  customer  fails  to  fulfill  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  amount  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 primarily include the amount of 
Government securities bought/sold and remaining to be settled on the date of financial 
statements.  This  also  includes  the  value  of  sell  down  options  and  other  facilities 
pertaining to securitisation the notional principal amounts of credit derivatives, amount 
applied in public offers under Application Supported by Blocked Amounts (ASBA) and 
the amount that the Bank is obligated to pay under capital contracts. Capital contracts 
are job orders of a capital nature which have been committed.

To the Board of Directors of ICICI Bank Limited on the Consolidated Financial 
Statements of ICICI Bank Limited and its Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures.

1.  We  have  audited  the  attached  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  ICICI  Bank  Limited  (the  ‘Bank’)  and  its  subsidiaries, 
associates and joint ventures (the ‘ICICI Group’), as at March 31, 2012, 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  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  
` 589,572 million as at March 31, 2012, total revenue of ` 70,495 million and cash flows amounting to ` 6,938 million 
for the year then ended. These financial statements and other financial information have been audited by other auditors

`53,809 million for the year ended March 31, 2012 and net cash flows amounting to ` 119,605 million for the year then 
ended. 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 ` 30,130 million as at March 31, 2012, total revenues of ` 5,731 million and net 
cash flows amounting to ` 1,052 million for the year then ended.

million as at March 31, 2012, total revenue of ` 176,204 million and cash flows amounting to ` 7,827 million for the year 
then ended. For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, we have relied upon the work of other auditors.

7.  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

Standards) Rules, 2006, (as amended).  

8. 

The  actuarial  valuation  of  liabilities  for  life  policies  in  force  is  the  responsibility  of  the  ICICI  Group’s  life  insurance 
subsidiary’s appointed actuary (the Appointed Actuary). The actuarial valuation of these liabilities as at March 31, 2012 
has been duly certified by the Appointed Actuary and in his opinion the assumptions for such valuation are in accordance 
with the guidelines and norms issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development authority (IRDA’) and the Actuarial 
Society in concurrence with the IRDA. The statutory auditors of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited have 
relied upon appointed Actuary’s certificate in this regard.

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 the significant influence/
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 (as amended) 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 that 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.

The financial statements of these jointly controlled entities have been consolidated as per AS 21 on ‘consolidated financial statements’ 
consequent to the limited revision to AS 27 on ‘financial reporting of interests in joint ventures’.
The entity has been consolidated as per the proportionate consolidation method as prescribed by AS 27 on ‘financial reporting of 
interests in joint ventures’. 
These entities have been accounted as per the equity method as prescribed by AS 23 on ‘accounting for investments in associates in 
consolidated financial statements’.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, Prize Petroleum Company Limited ceased to be an associate and accordingly has not 
been accounted as per the equity method as prescribed by AS 23.
During  the  quarter  ended  December  31,  2011,  I-Solutions  Providers  (India)  Private  Limited  has  been  amalgamated  with  I-Process 
Services  (India)  Private  Limited  and  therefore  ceased  to  be  an  associate.  Accordingly,  it  has  not  been  accounted  as  per  the  equity 
method as prescribed by AS 23. 
ICICI Prudential Pension Funds Management Company Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited.

The financial statements of Comm Trade Services Limited have not been consolidated under AS 21, since the investment is 
temporary in nature.

The  financial  statements  of  3i  Infotech  Limited  (3i  Infotech)  had  not  been  consolidated  under  AS  23  till  the  year  ended  
March 31, 2011, since the ICICI Group’s holding in 3i Infotech was temporary in nature. During the year, 3i Infotech was referred 
to the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Cell for restructuring of debt under the CDR scheme. Based on the approved CDR 
package, the holding of ICICI Group will increase from the current holding of 20.3%. Based on the continued intention of ICICI 
Group to reduce its stake below 20.0% in the near future and the restructuring arrangement, which provides for severe long-
term restrictions, the results of 3i Infotech will continue not to be consolidated for the year ended March 31, 2012 as per AS 23.

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:
 (cid:120)

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.

 (cid:120)

 (cid:120)

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 based on 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, based on 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
 (cid:120)

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 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. Finance leases entered into prior to April 1, 2001 have been accounted 
for as per the Guidance Note on accounting for leases issued by ICAI. The finance leases entered post April 1, 2001 
have been accounted for as per AS 19 on ‘leases’ issued by ICAI.
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.
Loan processing fee is accounted for upfront when it becomes due except in the case of foreign banking subsidiaries, 
where it is amortised over the period of the loan. 
Project appraisal/structuring fee is accounted for on the completion of the agreed service.
Arranger fee is accounted for as income when a significant portion of the arrangement/syndication is completed.
Commission received on guarantees issued is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the guarantee.
All other fees are accounted for as and when they become due.
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  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.
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.

relation to public or other issuances of securities is recognised based on mobilisation and terms of agreement with 
the client. 
Life insurance premium is recognised as income when due. Premium on lapsed policies is recognised as income 
when  such  policies  are  reinstated.  Top-up  premiums  are  considered  as  single  premium.  For  linked  business, 
premium  is  recognised  when  the  associated  units  are  created.  Income  from  linked  funds,  which  includes  fund 
management charges, policy administration charges, mortality charges etc. are recovered from the linked fund in 
accordance with the terms and conditions of the policy and are recognised when due.
In the case of general insurance business, premium is recorded for the policy period at the commencement of risk 
and for instalment cases, it is recorded on instalment 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 re-insurance ceded is recognised as income in the period of ceding the 
risk. Profit commission under re-insurance 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:
 (cid:120)
 (cid:120)
 (cid:120)
 (cid:120)
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 binomial 
tree 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. 

F67

forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)

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. However, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or 
carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation 
of such assets.  

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

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 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. 
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 4.93% to 6.02% per annum (previous year – 6.16% 
to 6.86% 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 5.20% (previous year – 5.90%).

Acquisition costs for insurance business 
Acquisition costs are those costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of insurance contracts and 
are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

10.  Staff retirement benefits

Gratuity
The Group pays gratuity to employees who retire or resign after a minimum prescribed period of continuous service and 
in the case of employees at the 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  appointed  actuary.  Actuarial 
valuation  of  gratuity  liability  is  determined  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  in  their  monthly  salary  during  their 
employment.
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 pension payment including dearness relief 
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  by  the  trust  and  the  liability  is  funded  as  per  actuarial 
valuation. The Bank purchases annuities from LIC and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited as part of master 
policies for payment of pension to retired employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura, erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile 
Bank of Rajasthan.

Actuarial valuation of the pension liability for all the above funds is determined by an actuary appointed by the Bank. 
Actuarial  valuation  of  pension  liability  is  calculated  based  on  certain  assumptions  regarding  rate  of  interest,  salary 
growth, mortality and staff attrition as per the projected unit credit method.

Employees covered by the pension plan are not eligible for employer’s contribution 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.
Actuarial valuation for the interest rate guarantee on the provident fund balances is determined by an actuary.

Leave encashment
The Group provides for leave encashment benefit, which is a long-term 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

13. 

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

b) 

c) 

if 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  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 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 

e) 

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

f)  Market  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase  transactions,  are  accounted  for  as  borrowing  and  lending 
transactions  respectively  in  accordance  with  the  extant  RBI  guidelines.  The  transactions  with  RBI  under 
Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions from the three 
months ended March 31, 2012.

g)  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.

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. 

F70

 
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
schedules

forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)

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 for government of 
India and state government securities where settlement date method of accounting is followed 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 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. 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.

vi) 

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. 
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  amortisation  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].

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.

The total proportion of investments for which subsidiaries have applied accounting policies different from the Bank as 
mentioned above, is approximately 15.18% of the total investments at March 31, 2012.

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.  Advances  held  at  the  overseas  branches  that  are  identified  as  impaired 
as  per  host  country  regulations  but  which  are  standard  as  per  the  extent  RBI  guidelines  are  identified  as  NPAs 
at a borrower level. 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.  For  advances  booked  in  overseas  branches,  which  are  standard  as  per  the  extant  RBI  guidelines  but 
are classified as NPAs based on host country guidelines, provisions are made as per the host country regulations. 
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 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 

d) 

e) 

f) 

g) 

context 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.
In the case of the Bank’s overseas banking subsidiaries, loans are stated net of allowance for credit losses. Loans 
are classified as impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as 
a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition on the loan (a loss event) and that loss 
event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loans that can be reliably estimated. An 
allowance for impairment losses is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb identified 
credit related losses as well as losses that have occurred but have not yet been identified. 

The  total  proportion  of  loans  for  which  subsidiaries  have  applied  accounting  policies  different  from  the  Bank  as 
mentioned above, is approximately 11.56% of the total loans at March 31, 2012.

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

forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)

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).
The  Canadian  subsidiary  has  entered  into  securitisation  arrangements  in  respect  of  its  originated  mortgages.  ICICI 
Bank Canada either retains substantially all the risk and rewards or retains control over these mortgages, hence these 
arrangements  do  not  qualify  for  de-recognition  accounting  under  their  local  accounting  standards.  It  continues  to 
recognise  the  mortgages  securitised  in  the  book  of  accounts  and  the  amounts  received  through  securitisation  are 
recognised as “Other borrowings”.

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, which 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. 
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.

18. 

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

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. 

Earnings per share 

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.

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 from fiscal 2004 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 September, 2011 vest in 
a graded manner over a five years period with 15%, 20%, 20% and 45% of grant vesting each year, commencing from 
the end of 24 months from the date of the 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. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or 
five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of ` 20.9 
million was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2012 (March 31, 2011: ` 2.9 million).

If ICICI Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the year ended 
March 31, 2012 would have been higher by ` 1,816.1 million. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of 
options granted during the year ended March 31, 2012 are given below.

The  weighted  average  fair  value  of  options  granted  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2012  is  `  592.52  per  option  
(March 31, 2011: ` 535.87).

The provision for income tax (including deferred tax) for the year ended March 31, 2012 amounted to ` 27,428.6 million 
(March 31, 2011: ` 20,684.9 million). 

The Group has a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents required by transfer pricing

16.  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 participated 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  ceded  100.0%  of  the  third  party  premium  collected  to  the  Pool  and  recorded  its  share  of  results  in  the 
Pool based of unaudited statement received from the Pool for the period from March 2011 up to February 2012 and on 
management’s estimate for March 2012. In accordance with regulations, the Pool had followed a policy of providing for 
Unexpired Risk Reserve at a minimum of 50.0% of the Pooled business. Accordingly company has carried forward 50.0% 
of current year premiums from the Pool as Unexpired Risk Reserve. 

IRDA through its orders dated December 23, 2011, January 3, 2012 and March 22, 2012 has directed the dismantling of the 
Pool on a clean cut basis and advised recognition of the Pool liabilities as per the loss ratios estimated by GAD UK (‘GAD 
Estimates’) for underwriting years commencing from the year ended March 31, 2008 to year ended March 31, 2012, with 
the option to recognise the same over a three year period. ICICI General has decided to recognise the additional liabilities 
of the Pool in the current year and accordingly, the Bank’s consolidated net profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 
2012 includes impact of additional Pool losses of ` 5,030.3 million in line with the Bank’s shareholding in ICICI General.  

During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2011,  IRDA  had  carried  out  independent  assessment  of  the  provision  required  and 
through its order 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 had been created by ICICI General in the year ended March 31, 2011. Accordingly, the Bank’s consolidated 
net  profit  after  tax  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2011  included  impact  of  additional  losses  on  account  of  the  Pool  of  
` 2,000.6 million.

17.  Transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS by ICICI Bank Canada

Pursuant to the decision of Canadian Accounting Standards Board, ICICI Bank Canada has adopted International Financial

BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

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.

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 
and innovative perpetual debt instruments (Tier-1 bonds) eligible for inclusion in Tier-1 capital that comply with 
requirement specified by RBI. 

Tier-2 capital includes revaluation reserves (if any), general provision and loss reserve, investment reserve, upper 
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.

Tier-1 bonds are non-cumulative and perpetual in nature with a call option after 10 years. Interest on Tier-1 bonds 
is payable either annually or semi-annually. These Tier-1 bonds have a step-up clause on interest payment ranging 
up to 100 basis points. 

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.

The lower Tier-2 bonds (subordinated debt) are cumulative and have an original maturity between 5 to 15 years. 
The interest on lower Tier-2 capital instruments is payable quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

RBI  through  its  circular  dated  January  20,  2011  stipulated  that  henceforth  capital  instruments  issued  with  step-
up 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.

3.  CAPITAL ADEQUACY 

a.  Capital management

Objective

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, 2012 as per the RBI guidelines on Basel II is 18.52% with a Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 12.68%. The 
total capital adequacy ratio of the ICICI Group (consolidated) at March 31, 2012 as per the RBI guidelines on Basel 
II is 19.60% with a Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 12.80%.

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 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;

(cid:135)(cid:3) Bank’s strategic focus, business plan and growth objectives;
(cid:135)(cid:3)
(cid:135)(cid:3) assessment of material risks and impact of stress testing; 
(cid:135)(cid:3)
(cid:135)(cid:3)
(cid:135)(cid:3)

 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.  

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,

BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

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. 

On  May  2,  2012,  RBI  issued  the  final  guidelines  on  the  Basel  III  capital  regulations.  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 and demonstrated track record of access to domestic and 
overseas markets for capital raising will enable us to adapt to the Basel III framework. RBI issued the draft guidelines 
on Basel III liquidity standards on February 21, 2012 and solicited feedback from the industry on these guidelines. 
The final guidelines on Basel III liquidity standards are awaited from RBI.

b.  Capital requirements for various risk areas (March 31, 2012)

As  required  by  RBI  guidelines  on  Basel  II,  the  Bank’s  capital  requirements  have  been  computed  using  the 
Standardised approach for credit risk, Standardised Duration method for market risk and Basic Indicator approach 
for operational risk. The minimum capital required to be held at 9.00% for credit, market and operational risks is 
given below:

I.  Capital required for credit risk

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, the Bank’s compliance with risk management guidelines stipulated by the RBI and 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.  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. 

2.  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.

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.  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. Additionally, the key risk indicators for different risks are also presented to the Risk Committee as 
part of the risk profile templates on a periodic basis.   

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 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.

BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

d.  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 various 
industries.  

e.  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 (COED).
(cid:135)(cid:3) Within the retail operations, there is segregation of the sourcing, verification, approval and disbursement of retail 

credit exposures to achieve independence. 

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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. 

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

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

Credit approval authorisation structure
The Board of Directors has delegated the approving authority to committees such as the Credit Committee (comprising a 
majority of independent Directors), the COED (comprising whole time Directors), the Committee of Senior Management 
(comprising  Whole  Time  Directors  and  Group  Executives/Presidents),  the  Committee  of  Executives,  the  Regional 
Committee, Small and Medium Enterprise and Corporate Agriculture Forums (SMEAG forums) and Retail Credit Forums 
(RCF forums) (comprising of designated executives), and also to individual executives (under joint delegation). SMEAG 
forums, RCF forums and individual executives (under joint delegation) can approve proposals under program norms 
(Programs approved by the COED). The above authorities can approve financial assistance within certain individual and 
group exposure limits set by the Board of Directors. The authorisation is based 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 exposures are approved under operating notes or programs approved by the COED. This 
involves  a  cluster-based  approach  for  a  particular  product  or  for  homogeneous  group  of  individuals/business  entities 
that  comply  with  certain  laid  down  parameterised  norms.  The  norms  vary  across  product  segments/customer  profile, 
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. 
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. The fraud prevention and control group manages 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 COED 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) are reported to the senior management 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 credit substitutes in the nature of an advance) into performing and non-
performing loans in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. 

An 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;

F101

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

ii) 

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

iii) 

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

a.  the outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit/drawing power for 90 days; 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.

Irrespective of payment performance, the Bank identifies a borrower account as an NPA even if it does not meet any of 
the above mentioned criteria, where:
(cid:135)(cid:3)
(cid:135)(cid:3)
(cid:135)(cid:3) project  does  not  commence  commercial  operations  within  the  timelines  permitted  under  the  RBI  guidelines  in 

loans availed by a borrower are repeatedly restructured unless otherwise permitted by regulations;
loans availed by a borrower are classified as fraud;

respect of the loans extended to a borrower for the purpose of implementing a project; and

(cid:135)(cid:3) any security in nature of debenture/bonds/equity shares issued by a borrower and held by the Bank is classified as 

non-performing investment.

Further, non performing investments are identified as per extant regulations.

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/doubtful  asset,  which  has  been  restructured,  will  be  upgraded  to  the  standard  category  only  after  a 
satisfactory performance by 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 restructuring scheme.

a.  Credit risk exposures (March 31, 2012) 

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 

F105

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

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, at March 31, 2012, the domestic ECAI specified 
by RBI were CRISIL Limited, Credit Analysis & Research Limited, ICRA Limited and Fitch India, and the international 
ECAI specified by RBI were 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:

(cid:135)(cid:3) The Bank uses only those ratings that have been solicited by the counterparty.
(cid:135)(cid:3) Foreign sovereign and foreign bank exposures are risk-weighted based on issuer ratings assigned to them.
(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.  

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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

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 counterparty. 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:

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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, 2012)

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:

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3)

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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) Structurer: structuring appropriately in a form and manner suitably tailored to meet investor requirements, 

while being compliant with extant regulations.

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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:

(cid:135)(cid:3)

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

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) Operational risk:

i)   Co-mingling  risk:  Risk  arising  on  account  of  co-mingling  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 

(cid:135)(cid:3)

(cid:135)(cid:3)

(cid:135)(cid:3)

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). 

(cid:135)(cid:3)

 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 in the domestic market and 
hence is not exposed to the pipeline and warehousing risks in the domestic market. In the overseas markets, where 
the  Bank  executes  certain  transactions  on  a  “originate  to  distribute/syndicate”  model,  the  Bank  has  established 
an appropriate risk management and mitigation framework to assess and manage any risks associated with such 
transactions.

at March 31, 2012

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:

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

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 changed 
business requirements, economic environment and changes in regulations.

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. There is clear functional separation of:
(cid:135)(cid:3) Trading i.e. front office; and
(cid:135)(cid:3) Monitoring, control, settlements and accounting i.e. Treasury Middle Office Group (TMOG).  

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.  Monitoring

TMOG  is  responsible  for  an  independent  check  of  the  transactions  entered  into  by  the  front  office.  It  also 
monitors all limits 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.  Delegation and Exception handling processes

  Keeping in view the size of the investment portfolio and the variety of securities that the Bank deals in, authority 

for investment decisions has been delegated to various dealers depending on business requirements.

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. 

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 submits the required reports to the regulator as per 
the regulatory reporting requirements. 

  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.

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) approved by the Board of Directors. The Policy aims to:

(cid:135)(cid:3) Define Bank level operational risk appetite;
(cid:135)(cid:3) Establish clear ownership and accountability for management and mitigation of operational risk;
(cid:135)(cid:3) Help business and operations to improve internal controls, reduce likelihood of occurrence of operational risk 

incidents and minimise potential impact of losses;

(cid:135)(cid:3) Minimise losses and customer dissatisfaction due to failure in processes; 
(cid:135)(cid:3) Develop comprehensive operational risk loss database for effective mitigation;
(cid:135)(cid:3) Meet regulatory requirements as set out in the guidance note on management of operational risk issued by the 

Reserve Bank of India (RBI); and

(cid:135)(cid:3) Compute capital charge for operational risk as per the guidelines issued by the RBI.

Operational risk management governance and framework

The  Bank  has  a  comprehensive  risk  governance  structure  in  line  with  the  RBI  guidelines.  Further,  the  Bank  is 
in  compliance  with  the  corporate  governance  requirements  of  Securities  and  Exchange  Board  of  India  (SEBI), 
Companies Act and Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Act (USA). Some of the key sub-committees of the Board that undertake 
inter-alia  supervision  and  review  of  operational  risk  aspects  include  the  Risk  Committee,  the  Fraud  Monitoring 
Committee and the Audit Committee.

The Board and the Risk Committee reviews the operational risk level and direction and the material operational risk 
exposures. The Fraud Monitoring Committee reviews the fraud risk aspects. The Audit Committee supervises the 
audit and compliance related aspects. Internal Audit Department carries out audit according to the Risk Based Audit 
Plan and reports the findings to the Audit Committee. 

In line with the RBI guidelines, an independent Operational Risk Management Group (ORMG) was set up in the year 
2006. The Bank’s operational risk management governance and framework is defined in the Policy. While the Policy 
provides a broad framework, detailed standard operating procedures for operational risk management processes 
have  been  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 also 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) Measurement through incident and exposure reporting;
(cid:135)(cid:3) Monitoring through key risk indicators; and
(cid:135)(cid:3) Mitigation through process and controls enhancement and insurance. 

The Bank has implemented Outsourcing Policy approved by the Board of Directors, which specifies the composition, 
roles and responsibilities of Outsourcing Committee. The Outsourcing Committee is responsible for:   
(cid:135)(cid:3) Assessing the risk and ensure mitigation for the same for all material outsourced activities;
(cid:135)(cid:3) Approving new outsourced activities;
(cid:135)(cid:3) Ensuring that periodic review of outsourced agencies is conducted by the business/operations group; and
(cid:135)(cid:3) Putting in place a central database on outsourcing.

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, legal and compliance 
measures are considered. All the new products and processes including modifications thereof are reviewed by the 
control groups such as risk, compliance, legal and audit, prior to being placed before the Committee for approval.  

  Measurement, monitoring, mitigation and reporting

Operational risk incidents are reported regularly and transactions resulting 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 implemented incident reporting systems, 
which facilitate capturing of operational risk incidents by the employees of the Bank.

The operational risk losses and incident analysis are submitted to the Risk Committee and to the Board 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 regular basis and reported to the business heads 
in the form of dashboards on a periodic basis.

The  Bank  has  initiated  steps  to  adopt  advanced  approaches  for  operational  risk  capital  computation.  The  Bank 
had filed an application with the RBI for migration to The Standardised Approach (TSA) on a standalone basis in 
September 2011. The Bank has taken steps for filing an application for migration to the Advanced Measurement 
Approach  (AMA).  The  Bank  has  been  estimating  Operational  Value  at  Risk  (OpVaR)  for  the  purpose  of  Internal 
Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). The OpVaR is estimated based on the principles of AMA by using 
internal loss data, scenario analysis and external loss data. The OpVaR 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. 

For facilitating effective operational risk management, the Bank has implemented a comprehensive operational risk 
management  system.  The  application  software  comprises  five  modules  namely  incident  management,  risk  and 
control self-assessment, key indicators, scenario analysis and issues and actions.  

Operational risk management in overseas branches and banking subsidiaries

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.

towards the management of operational risk within ICICI Group. While the common framework is adopted, suitable 
modifications in the processes are carried out depending upon the requirements of the regulatory guidelines of the 
respective companies.

b.  Capital requirement for operational risk (March 31, 2012)

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, 2012 was ` 26.19 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. 
The Asset Liability Management Group (ALMG) 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 ALMG 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, ALMG 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:

(cid:135)(cid:3)

 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.

BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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.

(cid:135)(cid:3) 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 the spread over LIBOR. The basis risk for the overall Bank is a 
summation of the basis risk arising from 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 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.

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.

BASEL II – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES (CONSOLIDATED) 

at March 31, 2012

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 at overseas branches, 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.  Besides,  as  per  local  regulatory  requirements,  ICICI  Bank  UK  PLC  has  implemented  its 
Individual Liquidity Adequacy Assessment (ILAA) framework, which stipulates the level of liquidity required to meet the 
UK regulatory requirements and the liquidity commensurate with the risks identified in its portfolio and strategic plans. 

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.

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 
business  and  social  perspective.  We  strive  to 
make  a  difference  to  our  customers,  to  society 
and to the nation’s development directly through

ICICI FOUNDATION FOR INCLUSIVE 
GROWTH
ICICI  Foundation  for  Inclusive  Growth  (ICICI 
Foundation) was established by the ICICI Group in 
early 2008 to carry forward and build upon its work 
in  promoting  inclusive  growth.  ICICI  Foundation 
works primarily with government authorities and 
specialised  grassroot  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

that  efforts  are  focused  on  bringing  about 
systemic changes for meaningful outcomes and 
sustainable impact. Hence its programmes focus 
on  addressing  needs  within  the  public  system 
and  helping  to  achieve  optimum  utilisation  of

and  evaluation  of  its  programmes/projects.  This 
ensures  timely  achievement  of  pre-determined 
milestones and development of a strong connect 
with the beneficiaries of the various initiatives.

AREAS OF FOCUS

integrated  into  mainstream  education.  To  make 
this  possible,  ICICI  Foundation  has  partnered 
with  various  state  governments  to  improve  the 
quality of education in government schools.

learning, would be formally placed  in  government 
schools where Muktangan will support them with 
teaching inputs on an on-going basis.

The  programme  will  reach  out  to  2,100  children 
across seven Muktangan schools in Mumbai.

ICICI  Foundation  has 
strengthened  and  re-aligned  its  strategy  at  the 
two  Rural  Self  Employment  Training  Institutes 
(RSETI)  being  managed  by  the  Foundation  at 
Udaipur and Jodhpur in Rajasthan.

the  past  year, 

The  training  courses  have  been  designed  to 
suit  the  requirements  and  demands  of  the  local 
population. The Foundation assessed the needs of 
the local population and potential job opportunities 
in the area and based on these findings, training 
modules  have  been  created.  Modules  include: 
masonry,  bag-making,  cattle  rearing,  beautician 
training, mobile phone repairing, tailoring and soft 
toy making amongst others. 

(iii) Muktangan, Mumbai
ICICI 
supports  Mumbai-based 
Foundation 
Muktangan’s  three-year-long  professional  teacher 
education initiative. The initiative consists of a one 
year  foundation  course  including  an  internship 
followed  by  two  years  of  school-based  residency 

Training alone is not enough to create a sustainable 
impact.  Keeping  this  in  mind,  ICICI  Foundation 
has facilitated job placement by building industry 
linkages, creating support structures for candidates 
starting their own ventures and conducting regular 
follow-up of its alumni.

ICICI Foundation perceived an opportunity 
to create opportunities for rural youth in 
the large ancillary repairing and servicing 
market. Training on how to repair mobile 
phones is an example of a course with 
low-cost inputs and investment, which 
makes it self-sustaining. Considering the 
wide reach of cell phones, the individual 
does not need to travel away from his 
village/home to earn a living.

“A mobile phone repairman can easily earn up to  
` 300-500 in a day,” says Anil Agarwal, mobile phone 
repairing trainer at ICICI Foundation’s RSETI, Udaipur.

Several construction and infrastructure 
projects are underway in Rajasthan. To 
meet this growing demand for skilled and 
trained masons, the RSETI masonry training 
module touches upon basic aspects of 
the construction business, right from 
measuring skills to painting. The course 
also includes welding, basic plumbing and 
other aspects of the construction business. 
The youth are placed in employment with 
construction contractors and builders.

3.  Primary Health
Our work in health focuses on improving access 
to  healthcare  for    the  poorest  communities  in 
India  by  improving  the  public  health  delivery 
systems.  ICICI  Foundation  supports  and  works 
collaboratively on a range of initiatives that have 
the  potential  to  translate  into  large-scale  and 
sustainable improvements in healthcare delivery  
in India.

(i)  Outpatient healthcare programme, Odisha 

& Gujarat  

Insurance  Company 

ICICI Foundation has partnered with ICICI Lombard 
General 
(ICICI  General) 
to  design  and  support  the  implementation  of 
the  first  insurance-based  outpatient  healthcare 
programme  for  BPL  families.  The  programme 
aims to lower out-of-pocket healthcare expenses 
for  India’s  rural  poor  by  creating  affordable  and 
reliable options for outpatient healthcare.

The programme supplements the Government of 
India’s  existing  Rashtriya  Swasthya  Bima  Yojana 
(RSBY)  inpatient  insurance  scheme  for  BPL 
population and unorganised workforce. Although 
similar in many aspects, the outpatient healthcare 
programme  covers  doctors’  consultation  fee 
and  medicines  at  empanelled  providers.  The 
programme is being piloted in two districts, Puri 
in Odisha and Mehsana in Gujarat.

beneficiaries while ICICI General is the insurance 
provider and implementing partner. International 
Labour  Organisation  (ILO)  is  also  involved  in 
developing  the  outpatient-specific  software  for 
the programme. 

ICICI Foundation’s Outpatient Healthcare programme uses 
the Biometric Finger Print Recognition technology to keep a 
record of outpatient medical visits by rural poor at empanelled 
hospitals in Puri (Odisha) and Mehsana (Gujarat). 

One of the key features of the programme is the 
creation of a comprehensive database of health 
records of the beneficiaries using biometric finger 
print recognition technology to record outpatient 
medical  visits.  The  information  is  stored  in  a 
central  server  and  serves  as  a  repository  for 
health data in these two districts. 

The intervention will also increase accessibility of 
and deliverables within its network of hospitals, 
clinics and pharmacies in both locations to meet 
the increased demand for outpatient care.

ACHIEVEMENTS

From the inception of this initiative in 
July 2011 and November 2011 in the 
two pilot districts respectively, 676,535 
beneficiaries have been enrolled in ICICI 
Foundation’s Outpatient Healthcare 
Programme. Over 200 public and 
private healthcare facilities have been 
empanelled under the programme.

(ii)  Strengthening Convergent Action for 

Reducing Child Undernutrition, Rajasthan 

On November 16, 2011, ICICI Foundation signed 
an  agreement  with  Department  of  Women  and 
Child Development, Government of Rajasthan for 
a three-year programme to strengthen the public 
health  system  for  alleviation  and  prevention  of 
malnutrition in Baran, Rajasthan. The programme 
seeks to improve the nutritional status of children 
from  birth  till  the  age  of  six  years  through  a 
three-pronged,  comprehensive  and  convergent 
approach  of  preventing,  managing  and  treating 
malnutrition.

The programme will be launched on a pilot basis 
in  253  Anganwadi  Centres  (AWCs)  of  Shahabad 
and  Kishanganj  blocks  in  Baran  district  and  is 
subsequently  proposed  to  be  scaled  up  across 
the  district.  The  Foundation  will  work  with  and 
strengthen  the  delivery  of  services  within  the 
Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). 

The  baseline  study  for  the  programme  has 
commenced.

Centre  (SHRC),  Chhattisgarh.  The  programme 
was undertaken in 23 blocks across 11 districts 
of  Chhattisgarh  with  an  aim  to  deepen  the 
impact  of  community  health  workers  and  bring 
about convergence between health interventions 
of  the  Mitanin  Programme  and  the  nutritional 
interventions of the Integrated Child Development 
Services (ICDS).

4.  Financial Inclusion
ICICI Foundation facilitates financial inclusion by 
supporting  the  development  of  new  models  for 
delivering  financial  services.  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. 

ICICI Bank and its subsidiaries undertake extensive 
direct initiatives in the area of financial inclusion. 
During  the  year,  ICICI  Bank  has  partnered  with 
Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for 
routing government benefits to below poverty line 
(BPL) individuals using the UIDAI/Aadhaar platform 
on  an  end-to-end  basis.  The  Bank  continued  to 
focus on improving its product and service offerings 
to meet the requirements of all participants in the 
rural and semi urban areas including farmers, small 
processors  and  other  medium  agri-corporates. 
The  Bank  is  also  rolling  out  branches  in  rural 
areas  to  support  the  achievement  of  its  financial 
inclusion objectives. These branches will support 
the  Business  Correspondent  (BC)  network  in 
providing quality banking services to the unbanked 
and underbanked population. (For addition details 
on ICICI Bank’s Rural & Inclusive Banking Group, 
please refer to the “Business Overview” section.)

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company (ICICI 
Life)  has  successfully  undertaken 
financial 
inclusion

insurance  product  Sarva  Jana  Suraksha  (SJS). 
The  micro  insurance  product  was  distributed  to 
more then 320,000 rural customers spread across 
eight  states.  SJS  is  a  retail  term  product  where 
the sum assured ranges from ` 5,000 to ` 50,000.
The  product  is  distributed  through  a  network 
of  58  partners  comprising  of  micro  finance 

institutions,  non  governmental  organisations, 
primary  agriculture  cooperative  societies  and 
cooperative banks.

ICICI  General  has  provided  insurance  solutions 
under government schemes. Under the Rashtriya 
Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY), ICICI General has 
covered over 14.6 million families in 145 districts 
across seven states and Union Territories. About 
1.8 million lives were also covered under a health 
insurance  scheme  for  handloom  weavers  and 
ancillary  workers.  ICICI  General  has  pioneered 
weather  based  crop  insurance  in  India,  and  this 
has  been  successfully  adopted  in  11  states, 
encompassing 3 million farmers.

selecting  its  Third  Batch  of  ICICI  Fellows.  While 
the  first  batch  will  graduate  in  June  2012, 
the  second  batch  is  undergoing  placements  
with NGOs.

b) Employee volunteering
(i)  Financial Literacy
ICICI  Foundation  has  developed  an  employee 
volunteering  programme  that  allows  ICICI  Bank 
employees  to  teach  a  comprehensive  course 
on  financial  literacy  to  youth  from  low-income 
families. This free-of-cost training enables youth 
to  take  control  of  their  personal  finances  and 
gives  them  the  tools  to  create  a  better  life  for 
themselves  and  their  families.  This  training  also 
provides ICICI Bank employees an opportunity to 
engage  meaningfully  within  their  communities. 
Approximately  25  to  30  young  people  are

` 9,912,474 was collected.  

6. Go Green
ICICI  Bank  believes  that  business  practices  that 
are  environment  friendly  are  key  to  sustainable 
growth.  It  seeks  to  create  awareness  of  this 
among  employees  and  customers.  On  World 
Environment Day, the Bank launched a campaign 
to  make  its  customers  aware  of  this  issue  and 
urged  them  to  adopt  a  greener  lifestyle.  ICICI 
Bank lent its full support by switching off all the 
signages  and  lights  in  its  premises  during  the 
Earth  Hour  2012.  The  Bank  estimates  that  over 
the  last  two  years  it  has  saved  an  equivalent  of 
100,000 trees by proactively urging customers to 
opt for e-statements. In addition, it developed and 
circulated a quarterly e-newsletter ‘Chlorophyll’ to 
all the employees of the company. The newsletter 
discussed  the  developments  in  the  area  of 
sustainability  across  the  world.  ICICI  Bank  was 
among the only two Indian companies to receive 
recognition from the United Nations Environment 
Programme  (UNEP)  for  its  efforts  for  spreading 
awareness about ‘Going Green’ on the occasion 
of World Environment Day, 2012.
