Integrated  Reporting  Council  (IIRC).  Through  this  report, 
the Bank aims to provide its stakeholders a comprehensive 
view  of  the  organisation’s  financial  and  non-financial 
resources and its strategy to create long-term value. The 
report provides insights into the Bank’s primary activities, 
its  strategic  priorities,  risks  and  mitigants,  governance 
structure,  and  the  manner  in  which  it  has  leveraged  the 
six capitals, namely Financial, Manufactured, Intellectual, 
Human, Social and Relationship, and Natural. Details on the 
various capitals are covered in the chapters: ICICI Bank's 
Business  Model,  Management's  Discussion  &  Analysis, 
Strategic Focus Areas for Business, Human Capital, Social 
and Relationship Capital and Natural Capital.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

As  I  write  this  letter,  the  world  is  going  through  one 
of  the  most  turbulent  times  with  challenges  that  are 
unprecedented.  Every  nation  is  striving  to  fight  the 
Covid-19  pandemic.  Economic  activity  had  almost  come 
to  a  standstill  as  we  lived  through  a  period  of  intense 
uncertainties,  and  is  only  now  beginning  to  resume.  The 
impact is sweeping across every segment of society and 
every economic activity. However, amidst these challenges, 
it  is  evident  that  these  events  have  only  accelerated  the 
pace  of  change  and  will  redefine  the  way  businesses, 
people and governments engage. This will give rise to new 
technological  paradigms  difficult  to  envisage  at  present. 
Year 2020 is going to be a turning point for everyone and 
in every way.

In  the  last  two  years,  since  the  time  I  have  joined  as 
Chairman, the Bank has demonstrated strength in steering 
through challenging circumstances. Businesses have been 
driven  with  a  focus  on  risk-calibrated  profitable  growth. 
The  balance  sheet  of  the  Bank  has  been  strengthened 
substantially and risk management practices have focussed 
on generating sustainable and stable growth in business. 
The  steps  taken  have  enabled  the  Bank  to  emerge  more 
dynamic and this reflects in the performance of the Bank 
in fiscal 2020.

During fiscal 2020, growth in the Bank’s core operating 
profit was healthy and the capital and liquidity position 
remains  strong.  The  franchise  has  been  strengthened 
supporting  robust  flow  of  deposits  during  the  year. 
There  has  been  an  improvement  in  asset  quality 
parameters  with  a  granular  and  stronger  portfolio  mix. 
The performance in fiscal 2020 has also ensured value-
creation for all stakeholders, including shareholders and 
customers. This has been achieved despite a challenging 
operating  environment  for  the  Indian  banking  industry. 
The Bank’s progress in fiscal 2020 only further increases 
our  confidence  in  its  strategic  priorities  and  the  core 
principles driving businesses.

The year saw some innovative products being launched 
for  the  Bank’s  customers.  Designing  solutions  that  are 
all-encompassing  has  been  made  possible  by  placing 
the  customer  at  the  centre  of  business  operations  and 
harnessing  digital  capabilities.  The  Bank’s  ability  to 
leverage  technology  combined  with  analytical  insights 
and  partnerships  have  created  new  ways  of  serving 
customers through digital journeys and one-stop solutions 
for  all  banking  needs.  The  insta-lending  products,  the 
focus on seamless onboarding of customers, simplifying 

The performance in fiscal 2020 
has also ensured value-creation 
for all stakeholders, including 
shareholders and customers. 
This has been achieved despite 
a challenging operating 
environment for the Indian 
banking industry.

in 

the  most 
Fiscal  2020  has  however  concluded 
unexpected  circumstances  caused  by  the  spread  of  the 
Covid-19  pandemic  in  India.  The  lockdown  in  April  and 
May  2020  has  created  significant  disruptions  to  the 
economy, businesses and the banking industry. India has 
made  significant  efforts  in  dealing  with  this  emergency. 
We convey our sincere appreciation to the health workers, 
the police and others in the forefront in the fight against 
the crisis. 

The  Bank  is  committed  to  stand  by  its  customers  and 
the  larger  community  in  this  hour  of  need.  Of  utmost 
importance  is  the  health,  well-being  of  our  employees 
and  customers  and  business  continuity.  The  Bank  has 
formed a quick response team to take steps to protect the 
health of the employees and provide essential services to 
customers.  About  97%  of  the  branches  were  functional 
with reduced working hours during the lockdown. Mobile 
ATMs were deployed for the benefit of the general public 
residing in and around the containment zones. Even under 
these  demanding  circumstances,  the  Bank  has  seen  an 
opportunity  in  enhancing  its  digital  journey.  The  launch 
of  'ICICIStack',  a  comprehensive  digital  banking  platform 
offering services to a range of customers including retail, 
business banking, SME and corporate customers, reflects 
the Bank’s approach. 

Our employees have shown strong resilience and ability 
to adapt to changing circumstances. I would like to thank 
every employee of the Bank for the commendable efforts 
and  character  displayed  during  this  challenging  period, 
and  for  responsibly  upholding  the  reputation  of  the 
institution. 

During  the  health  crisis,  the  Bank  and  ICICI  Foundation 
for  Inclusive  Growth  have  made  efforts  at  a  national 
level  by  facilitating  supply  of  critical  material  like  masks, 
sanitisers,  personal  protective  equipment  and  others.  
The scale of efforts is considerable having reached out to 
over  500  districts  across  34  states  and  union  territories. 
ICICI  Group  has  committed  a  sum  of  `1.00  billion  to 
support  the nation’s  fight  against the Covid-19  outbreak, 
including `800.0 million to the PM CARES Fund.

The  Bank  continued  to  strengthen  its  policies  and 
processes  and  maintain  strong 
risk  management 
practices  in  these  evolving  times.  With  a  commitment 

to the highest levels of corporate governance, the Board 
of  Directors,  with  two-third 
independent  members, 
maintains  its  oversight  through  various  committees.  The 
Bank  is  focussed  on  building  a  service-oriented  culture 
and  ensure  ethical  conduct.  The  policies,  principles  and 
approaches of the Bank towards environment, society and 
governance  have  been  captured  in  the  Board-approved 
ESG Framework. We have also released a separate report 
highlighting the Bank’s initiatives around ESG along with 
the Annual Report. 

Looking  ahead,  there  are  significant  challenges  for 
the  economy  and  the  banking  sector  in  fiscal  2021. 
A  contraction  in  economic  growth  is  inevitable,  and 
regaining  the  confidence  and  momentum  of  activity  as 
in  the  past  may  take  some  time.  A  health  emergency  of 
this  magnitude  will  lead  to  extraordinary  responses  and 
outcomes. Under these circumstances, the Bank remains 
committed  to  being  with  its  customers  and  ensuring 
seamless delivery of financial services and will participate 
in the relief measures to mitigate the impact of the crisis. 
The Bank is cognisant of the elevated risks in the operating 
environment  and  will  take  steps  to  remain  strong  and 
resilient and be well-positioned to absorb potential losses 
that could arise. Our passion to create value continues in 
these challenging times. 

I wish to thank all our stakeholders and my colleagues on 
the Board of Directors. Together, we shall overcome these 
challenges and emerge stronger.

With best wishes,

Girish Chandra Chaturvedi

delivery  capabilities,  the  Bank  has 
leveraged 
opportunities 
while  operating  within  the  guardrails 
in 
risk  management.  Risks 
of 
the  operating  environment  have 
increased  substantially  owing  to  the 
Covid-19  pandemic  that  has  created 
unprecedented  challenges.  Even 
in 
these  circumstances,  we  continue 
to 
technology,  data 
sciences  and  operations  capabilities 
to  enhance    customer  offerings  and 
launch  new  digital  solutions.  We  have 
also  streamlined  processes  keeping 
technology  as  the  underlying  driver, 
which  has  enabled  us  to  significantly 
move all customer servicing requests to 
a digital ecosystem from the traditional 
paper-based  one.  The  key  priorities 
continue  to  be  maintaining  healthy 
liquidity  and  robust  credit  monitoring. 
We will further strengthen our balance 
sheet  as  opportunities  arise.  We  are 
committed  to  building  a  sustainable 
and responsible business while creating 
value for all our stakeholders.

We  are  going  through  a  period 
of  high  volatility.  Wide  ranging 
changes in the external environment 
and  changing  customer  needs  are 
impacting  the  way  we  do  business. 
There is rapid evolution of the digital 
infrastructure 
competitive 
and 
landscape  in  the  country.  We  are 
seeing convergence of debt markets 
and  institutional  credit.  Against  this 
backdrop,  in  addition  to  being  a 
long-standing  provider  of  capital  to 
businesses, our Bank has embarked 
on  a  strategy  to  serve  Corporate 
Ecosystems 
comprehensively. 
This  approach  is  built  on  a  digital 
foundation  with  data  becoming 
increasingly  the  basis  of  product 
design  and  decisioning,  and  APIs 
becoming  the  preferred  mode  of 
seamless  service  delivery.  Built 
on 
foundation 
of  strong  underwriting  standards 
which ensure return of capital, these 
measures  along  with  our  valuable 
franchise and our market positioning 
as  a  leading  and  trusted  partner  for 
our clients, enhance our competitive 
lead  to  creating 
positioning  and 
value for our stakeholders.

The  strategic  focus  of  the  Bank  during  fiscal  2020  was 
to  continue  to  grow  its  core  operating  profits  in  a  risk-
calibrated  and  granular  manner.  This  was  driven  by 
the  objective  of  ‘One  Bank,  One  ROE’,  that  enabled 
synergies  across  businesses.  Further,  the  principle  of 
'Fair  to  Customer,  Fair  to  Bank'  emphasising  the  need 
to  deliver  fair  value  to  customers  while  creating  value 
for  shareholders,  guides  the  Bank’s  operations.  The 
underlying  pillars  of  leveraging  digital,  a  customer-
centric  and  service-oriented  approach,  simplification  of 
processes  and  enhancing  customer  experience  were 
factors that were common across all businesses. 

Efforts aimed at delivering maximum value to customers 
were  further  strengthened  during  the  year.  A  strategic 
focus  in  this  regard  was  to  extensively  leverage  data 
analytics and market intelligence to create strategies and 
unique  value  propositions  across  market  segments.  It 
also  facilitated  better  targeting,  resourcing,  channel  and 
product  alignment,  capability  building  and  marketing 
and alliances. The Bank enhanced its focus on exploring 
customer  ecosystems  that  offered  the  opportunity  to 
provide a wide range of products and services. 

The drive to provide digital products and instant financial 
solutions  to  customers  led  to  some  unique  product 
launches  during  the  year  that  connected  businesses. 
ICICIStack was a comprehensive digital offering launched 
by  the  Bank  towards  the  end  of  fiscal  2020  that  enables 

retail customers, retailers, professionals, fintechs, startups, 
e-commerce players and corporates to continue banking 
digitally,  even  from  remote  locations,  without  visiting  a 
branch  or  office  of  the  Bank.  Following  the  outbreak  of 
the  Covid-19  pandemic,  ICICIStack  ensured  continuity 
of  banking  services  on  the  digital  platform  even  during 
lockdown. The Bank’s application programming interface 
(API)  banking  website  allows  business  customers  to 
seamlessly  integrate  with  various  payment  and  product 
solutions. 

KEY FINANCIAL SERVICES
Retail, Rural and SME Banking
The  Bank  continued  to  seek  opportunities  in  the  retail 
business  space  and  focussed  on  improving  its  market 
share  in  segments  based  on  the  risk-calibrated  profit 
opportunity. The retail business remained the key driver of 
growth with the retail loan portfolio increasing by 15.6% 
year-on-year at March 31, 2020. The retail loan portfolio as a 
proportion of the total loan portfolio increased from 60.1% 
at March 31, 2019 to 63.2% at March 31, 2020. Including 
non-fund  based  outstanding,  the  share  of  retail  portfolio 
was  53.3%  of  the  total  portfolio  at  March  31,  2020.  The 
Bank continued to see strong growth in its deposit base, 
and  maintained  a  robust  funding  profile  during  the  year. 
Average savings account deposits increased by 11% year-
on-year  and  average  current  account  deposits  increased

Annual Report 2019-20  
 
 
by 17.1% year-on-year. Total term deposits grew by 28.6% 
year-on-year.

Retail Banking
A customer-centric approach with a focus on maximising 
the lifecycle value of the relationship with the customer 
was a key strategy for the retail business. This involved 
creating digital journeys and offering a range of products 
from  savings,  investments,  protection  and  retirement 
planning along with convenient payment and transaction 
banking services. Exploring the corporate ecosystem for 
opportunities in retail business was another key strategy 
to enable granular growth in business. 

Digital  sourcing  of  loans,  both  in  the  secured  and 
unsecured segments grew significantly during the year. 
In  the  secured  loan  segment,  a  complete  end-to-end 
digital  solution  was  developed  right  from  prospecting 
of  customers  to  validating  loan  requests,  automated 
underwriting, online tracking of applications and digital 
disbursement  of  funds.  In  the  unsecured  segment, 
efforts for improving the digital experience of customers 
continued  which 
included  digital  underwriting 
processes and lending API for integration with partners 
issuance  of  paperless  and  
and 

fintechs.

ready-to-use  credit  cards  digitally  was  enabled.  These 
cards are also enabled with security features including 
control  features  using  the  mobile  and  internet  banking 
app. Towards the end of the year, the Bank launched a 
comprehensive  platform,  ICICIStack,  that  offers  digital 
services  and  covers  almost  all  banking  requirements 
of  customers  including  account  opening,  loans,  credit 
cards,  payment  solutions,  investments,  insurance  and 
protection  related  products.  The  platform  can  be  used 
by  various  customer  segments  including  retail,  SME 
and corporate clients.

Enhancing the digital journey of customers with the Bank 
involved creating innovative solutions, both for customers 
and for relationship managers. During the year, the Bank 
revamped  its  home  loan  website  offering  an  interactive 
customer  experience  and  providing  relevant  content 
like  calculator  for  checking  loan  eligibility,  an  e-book 
explaining  the  journey  to  purchase  a  home  loan  and  a 
blog  on  the  mortgage  industry  to  enable  customers  to 
take informed decisions. For customers who are not too 
digitally oriented, an eRelationship Management channel 
was  introduced,  that  caters  to  the  transactions  and 
product  needs  of  customers  through  human  interface 
on  the  phone.  The  objective  is  to  encourage  digital 
behaviour in customers by providing end-to-end support 
on the phone. 

Simplification  of  processes  and  ensuring  convenience 
to  customers  was  an  ongoing  effort  through  the  year. 
Digital  onboarding  of  customers  for  opening  accounts, 
processing service requests without human intervention, 
using cognitive tools for cheque clearing and encouraging 
paperless  customer  communication  were  a  few  of  the 
key areas of focus. During the year, the Bank revamped 
its  savings  account  onboarding  process  and  enhanced 
system-driven  validations  to  enable  real-time  account 
opening and activation. Features such as allowing quick 
fund transfer within certain limits without going through 
the  payee  registration  process  were  enabled  on  the 
mobile app and internet banking. 

16

Exploring  opportunities 
through  partnerships  with 
platforms  with  large  customer  bases  and  transaction 
volumes  continued  during  the  year.  The  Bank  launched 
a  range  of  travel  cards  under  such  partnerships  during 
the year. 

The  branch  network  was  expanded  with  450  new 
branches  added  during  the  year.  The  total  branch 
network  of  the  Bank  at  March  31,  2020  was  5,324.  The 
ATM channel was further leveraged by offering services 
like cardless withdrawals from ATMs and creating cross-
sell opportunities through the channel. The Bank added 
471  insta-banking  kiosks  during  fiscal  2020  taking  the 
total count to 1,638 at March 31, 2020. 

Rural and Inclusive Banking 

The  Bank’s  rural  banking  operations  cater  to  the 
financial  requirements  of  customers  in  rural  and  semi-
urban  locations,  primarily  engaged  in  agriculture  and 
allied  activities.  The  Bank  believes  that  the  needs  and 
expectations  of  rural  customers  are  distinct  from  other 
customer  segments.  The  Bank’s  reach  in  rural  areas 
comprises  a  network  of  branches,  ATMs  and  field  staff, 
and Business Correspondents providing last-mile access 
in remote areas. Of the Bank’s network of 5,324 branches, 
50% are in rural and semi-urban areas with 650 branches 
in villages that were previously unbanked. The Bank had 
over 4,000 customer service points enabled through the 
Business Correspondent network at March 31, 2020.

The  rural  strategy  has  focussed  on  serving  rural 
value  chains  by  leveraging  opportunities  in  different 
ecosystems within the rural markets. At the heart of this 
approach  were  four  main  ecosystems  identified  in  the 
rural market which included the agriculture value chain, 
rural  corporates,  the  government  and  the  microfinance 
business.  The  Bank  has  developed  different  products 
and services taking into consideration the needs of every 
participant and leveraging banking opportunities across 
the business activity. 

The agriculture ecosystem includes participants like seed 
producers, agri-input dealers, farmers, warehouses, agri-
equipment dealers, commodity traders and millers. The 
Bank  has  designed  different  products  for  each  player 
to meet their specific financial requirements so that the 
entire agri-value chain is well financed. Farmer financing 
is the primary focus within this ecosystem with products

outreach to such groups. 

As  in  all  businesses,  digitisation  underpinned  the  efforts 
in rural banking which involved simplifying processes and 
empowering  teams.  The  Bank  has  a  mobile  application 
which enables its employees to capture and submit loan 
applications from the applicant’s doorstep and also gives 
indicative  eligibility  and  deviations  on  product  lending 
norms. This effectively shortens the turnaround time and 
cost to service new loan applications. The Bank also has 
tie-ups  with  fintechs  to  extend  its  banking  services  to 
wider and deeper geographies. 

Activity on the Bank’s unique mobile application for rural 
customers, Mera iMobile, which allows rural customers to 
avail over 135 services including non-banking information 
and  agri-related  advisory  on  crop  prices,  news  and 
weather, continued to grow. The app is available in English 
and  11  vernacular  languages,  and  is  used  by  more  than 
half a million customers. During fiscal 2020, the app had 
processed a total of 16.8 million financial and non-financial 
transactions. 

The  Bank  has  also  partnered  with  fintech  companies 
that  support  Aadhaar-enabled  transactions  to  widen  and 
deepen  the  Bank’s  services  across  geographies.  These 
startups facilitate cashless and paperless transactions for 
making payments and account transaction. During the year, 
30.0 million Aadhaar-enabled transactions aggregating to 
about `90.00 billion were facilitated through these tie-ups.

The micro-lending space includes women from the lower 
strata  of  the  population,  non-government  organisations 
and  other  institutions  working  at  the  grassroot  level  in 
the rural economy. The Bank has products and services 
specifically to cater to this segment.

Apart  from  direct  lending  to  customers,  the  Bank  also 
engages with Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) as a crucial 
delivery  channel  in  reaching  out  to  the  otherwise  under-
served segments of the population and enabling financial 
inclusion.  The  Bank  provides  financial  assistance  to  the 
MFIs  in  the  form  of  term  loans.  These  funds  are  then 
further  extended  for  on-lending  to  individuals  and  also 
to members of self-help groups (SHGs) and joint liability

Small  and  Medium  Enterprises  and  Business 
Banking
The  small  and  medium  enterprises  (SME)  portfolio 
comprises exposures to companies with a turnover of up 
to `2.50 billion. The business banking portfolio comprises 
small business customers with an average loan ticket size 
of `10.0-15.0 million. The Bank's focus in these businesses 
is on parameterised and programme-based lending, which 
is granular and well-collateralised.

ICICI Bank offers its SME and business banking customers 
a  wide  spectrum  of  solutions  addressing  their  evolving 
business  needs  such  as  customised  offerings,  faster 
turnaround  time,  transaction  convenience,  timely  access 
to  capital  and  cross-border  trade  and  foreign  exchange 
products.  Providing  digital  solutions  is  at  the  core  of 
the  engagement,  with  the  range  of  solutions  spanning 
customer onboarding, payments and collections, lending 
and cross-border transactions. 

The  Bank  has  developed  several  products  and  solutions 
with  digital  as  the  medium  to  create  value  for  the  SME 
and  business  banking  segment.  In  the  area  of  customer 
onboarding,  digital  current  account  opening  has  been 
enabled  leading  to  speedy  account  activation.  A  wide 
range of lending solutions have been developed which are 
offered digitally without the need to visit a branch or submit 
physical  documents.  The  Bank  has  also  enabled  online 
electronic franking and digital signature based document 
execution  to  ensure  faster  processing.  Customers  can 
avail  secured  overdraft  line  of  credit  up  to  `20.0  million 
based  on  their  Goods  and  Services  Tax  (GST)  returns 
and  without  the  need  to  submit  financial  statements.

A  new  digital  platform,  InstaBIZ,  was 
launched during the year, which offers 
over  115  products  and  services  on 
mobile and internet banking platforms.

A new digital platform, InstaBIZ, specifically for the SME 
and  the  self-employed  segment,  was  launched  during 
the  year,  which  offers  over  115  products  and  services 
on  mobile  and  internet  banking  platforms.  Customers 
can  seamlessly  execute  their  trade  finance  and  foreign 
exchange  transactions  through  the  Trade  Online  and 
FXOnline platforms which provides a superior transaction 
and service experience.

During the year, a new product, Flexi-credit, was introduced 
for  businesses.  Compared  to  the  traditional  method 
of  assessing  credit  eligibility  based  on  an  individual 
borrower’s cash flows and collaterals, this product allows 
customers to consolidate the cash flows of the borrower 
and  co-borrowers  and  the  collateral  properties  of  the 
borrower  and  the  co-borrowers  for  evaluating  the  credit 
eligibility of the borrower.

Supply  chain  financing  is  an  integral  part  of  the  SME 
business and a focus area towards deepening the Bank’s 
coverage  of  the  corporate  ecosystem.  The  SME  group 
provides  seamless  and  fast  access  to  finance  to  dealers 
and vendors of a corporate customer along with meeting 
their  regular  banking  requirements  both  at  the  business 
entity and personal banking level. The Bank has developed 
an integrated supply chain system that can be integrated 
with  the  corporate’s  Enterprise  Resource  Planning  (ERP) 
for  seamless  collection  from  dealers  and  payment  to 
vendors.  The  system  provides  real-time  reconciliation 
and reports to the corporate. It also enables the Bank to 
provide channel finance based on the transaction flow and 
payment track record. The Bank has also launched a non-
ERP  version  of  the  dealer  finance  solution  which  is  fully 
digitised end-to-end.

The  Bank  follows  strong  risk  management  practices  in 
managing  its  SME  and  business  banking  portfolio,  with 
a  view  to  enhancing  the  portfolio  quality  by  reducing 
concentration  risk  and  a  focus  towards  granular  and 
collateralised-lending  based  growth.  Robust  monitoring 
frameworks have been put in place for transaction-based 
review  and  proactive  and  early  action  is  taken  to  ensure

customers  was  enhanced  during  the  year.  The  Bank  has 
adopted a streamlined underwriting process using digital 
tools  like  bank  statement  analyser,  automatic  fetching 
of  bureau  reports  and  business  rule  engine  to  generate 
probability  of  default  scores  for  score-based  analysis.  A 
combination  of  qualitative  and  quantitative  assessment 
tools are used to arrive at the final decision.

With a view to increase the risk adjusted operating profit 
from  the  portfolio  and  enhance  the  return  on  equity, 
reliance is also placed on harnessing opportunities across 
transaction  banking,  foreign  exchange  and  personal 
banking solutions with the SMEs. 

Wholesale Banking

The  Wholesale  Banking  Group  has  a  deep  customer 
franchise  which  includes  top  business  houses,  large 
private sector companies, financial institutions and banks, 
public sector undertakings, and government departments 
and entities. In the last few years, the team has developed 
a very strong franchise across MNCs and new-age services 
companies.  The  team  has  also  established  a  franchise  in 
the financial sponsors space with special focus on private 
equity funds and their investee companies. 

The Bank has a strong presence across the country which 
enables  it  to  service  corporate  clients  with  ease  and 
speed. Over 100 dedicated Transaction Banking  branches 
have  been  identified  for  prompt  servicing  of  corporate 
transactions.  For  meeting  the  foreign  exchange  and 
derivative requirements, the Wholesale Banking Group is 

For  the  Wholesale  Banking  Group, 
the  underlying  theme  followed  was 
'Ecosystem Banking for a Corporate'

for working capital and capital expenditure requirements 
and other products that the client may need across trade, 
treasury,  bonds,  commercial  papers,  channel  financing, 
supply chain solutions, and various other activities.

A  key  theme  during  fiscal  2020  was  to  deepen  the 
customer-centricity  approach 
in  the  Bank’s  product 
offerings and to use digital channels for service delivery. 
For  the  Wholesale  Banking  Group,  the  underlying  theme

transactions  and  portfolio  quality.  While  new  credit  is 
extended  in  a  granular  manner  to  well-established  and 
higher  rated  business  groups,  analytics  was  used  for 
portfolio  monitoring  and  identification  of  early  warning 
signals  in  the  existing  book.  This  led  to  enhancement  of 
quality of the existing corporate portfolio. The team also 
focussed  on  reducing  concentration  risks  to  make  the 
portfolio  more  granular.  Another  significant  achievement 
on the digital front was the launch of an online application 
for  credit  assessment  of  mid-corporate  clients.  This  will 
enable  objective  and  comprehensive  risk  assessment 
of  clients  based  on  multiple  parameters  like  bureau 
information,  qualitative  and  quantitative  factors,  and 
also  help  the  team  in  adopting  a  consistent  approach  to 
onboarding of clients as well.

Transaction Banking

Transaction  banking  is  an  important  value  proposition 
for  corporates  for  the  day-to-day  functioning  of  their 
businesses  which  includes  account  services,  payment 
and collection services, domestic and cross-border trade 
finance, working capital finance and supply chain finance. 
Transaction  banking  services  are  delivered  through  the 
network  of  branches  across  the  country  including  107 
specialised  branches  which  are  enabled  to  meet  the 
specific needs of the corporate customers and a team of 
account  managers.  The  products  and  services  are  also 
delivered through the Bank's Corporate Internet Banking 
(CIB)  platform  and  also  through  its  mobile  application 
InstaBIZ. These digital applications cater to a significant 
proportion of the overall transaction volume. 

Transaction banking offers integrated cash management 
and  trade  finance  solutions  to  the  customers.  By 
integrating  the  Bank’s  system  with  their  Enterprise 
Resource  Planning  (ERP),  the  customers  are  able  to 
process their collection and payments digitally including 
seamless reconciliation and accounting. The digitisation

Advancements in technology have enabled the Bank to 
reimagine various customer journeys and create industry-
specific solutions. These solutions not only digitise and 
thereby  simplify  processes,  but  also  help  customers 
to  digitise  their  entire  ecosystem  which  includes  their 
vendors, partners and customers. Some of the solutions 
include  an  application  for  software  exporters  that 
helps  process  almost  10%  of  the  IT/ITeS  exports  of 
the  country,  and  a  first-to-market  platform  to  digitise 
through  e-tendering.  The  e-tendering 
procurement 
solution is aiding over 4,000 units to seamlessly integrate 
their  complex  procurement  workflows.  The  Bank  also 
developed  specific  solutions  for  commodity  board 
ecosystems  through  its  Digi-Commodity  offering.  This 
platform  enables  digital  collection  of  auction  proceeds 
and  auto  reconciliation  of  outstanding  invoices,  all  the 
while  allowing  for  deal-wise  settlement  across  multiple 
stakeholders. More than 8,000 stakeholders are regularly 
using this platform.

The  Bank  has  also  entered  into  partnerships,  especially 
with  fintechs,  to  enhance  the  customer  proposition. 
Some  of  these  partnerships  are  in  the  area  of  supply 
chain  finance  and  specialised  ERP  service  providers. 

The Bank launched iXpress Connect, 
a  portal  that  hosts  standard  API 
protocols enabling corporate clients 
to  seamlessly  access  the  Bank 
through APIs.

digital collection of auction proceeds 
and auto reconciliation of outstanding

Annual Report 2019-20 Another  area  is  API  Banking  that  is  also  playing  an 
important role in shaping the Bank’s strategy. The Bank 
has  a  developer  portal  wherein  250  API  services  are 
available for customers. The Bank is also considering an 
advanced  API  portal  which  can  cater  to  more  complex 
workflow 
requirements.  Similarly,  blockchain-based 
solutions have been implemented by the Bank in the area 
of  trade  finance  which  has  significantly  added  value  to 
all stakeholders and is now being made into an industry-
wide initiative along with other banks.

The Bank continues to play a pioneering role in promoting 
digital  initiatives  across  businesses  in  the  international 
banking arena and has been continuously introducing and 
innovating products to enhance customer experience. In 
the remittances space, the Bank introduced online inward 
remittance facility for low value commercial transactions. 
Blockchain based processing for outward remittances was 
extended to the UK and Europe corridors, besides Canada. 
Further, digital platforms were launched for facilitating fee 
payments by students.

The  Bank  has  leveraged  analytics  to  enhance  customer 
experience, manage risks and better service delivery. The 
Bank  believes  that  investments  and  strategic  initiatives 
undertaken  would  enable  it  to  deliver  industry-leading 
services  to  customers  and  build  a  stable  franchise  for  
the Bank.

To meet the banking needs of NRI customers, a complete 
revamp of both the product and service proposition was 
undertaken  during  the  year.  For  NRIs  in  Canada  and  the 
UK, a fully digital account opening solution was launched 
to  enable  them  to  have  a  global  view  of  their  accounts 
in  their  home  country  and  India.  Other  digital  solutions, 
including  ICICIStack,  are  proposed  to  be  introduced  in 
international markets in the near term.

Government Banking

The  Bank  considers  the  government  to  be  an  integral 
partner  that  facilitates  large  scale  investments  in  the 
economy  and  requires  comprehensive  support  in  terms 
of services and banking solutions. The Bank engages with 
the  government  departments  and  bodies  across  various 
levels, at central, state, district and local bodies including 
municipalities  and  gram  panchayats.  The  products  and 
services  offered  are  not  only  financially-oriented,  but 
are  also  enabling  solutions  for  enhancing  e-governance 
through IT solutions, integrated collections and payment 
solutions  facilitating  participation  in  pilot  projects.  These 
efforts  also  result  in  deposit  balances  for  the  Bank.  The 
Bank has also partnered with the governments and local 
bodies during periods of disaster and crisis. 

With the philosophy of 'Fair to Customer, Fair to Bank', the 
Bank  will  continue  to  diligently  and  efficiently  service  all 
its clients and create value for their enterprises as well as 
for the Bank.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Understanding  customer  expectations  and  responding 
through  appropriate  products  and  services  has 
been  central  to  the  Bank’s  strategy.  The  demand  for 
convenience,  speed  and  customised  solutions  with 
quick  turnaround  and  innovative  solutions  requires  a 
dynamic  culture  in  the  Bank.  The  concept  of  customer 
satisfaction  has  now  been  replaced  by  ‘delight’  in 
banking  experience.  The  Bank  has  embraced  and  built 
upon this transition while being committed to the core 
principle of 'Fair to Customer, Fair to Bank'. 

During  fiscal  2020,  mapping  of  customer  journeys  across 
products,  processes  and  channels  was  undertaken  and 
based  on  the  insights,  key  customer  service  initiatives 
were  implemented.  The  key  initiatives  during  the  year 
were  in  the  areas  of  account  opening,  servicing,  NRI 
customer  experience,  process 
simplification,  and 
technology  platform  and  system  upgradation.  Some  of 
these initiatives were:

•   The  account  opening  process  was  simplified  for 

savings and current accounts 

•   A  simplified  and  widgetised  dashboard  and  user 
interface  was  launched  for  retail  and  corporate 
internet banking customers 

•   Digital  signing  and  stamping  of  documents  was 
enabled  for  corporate,  SME  and  business  banking 
customers

•   The  NRI  account  opening  experience  was  enhanced 
through  simplification  of  the  account  opening  form 
and implementation of Optical Character Recognition 
(OCR)  to  reduce  customer  effort.  A  dedicated  NRI 
Expert  Team  (NET)  was  set  up  for  enhanced  NRI 
servicing 

•   An  integrated  new  platform  for  processing  trade 

transactions was deployed 

During the year, there was sustained improvement in the 
Net  Promoter  Score  (NPS),  a  key  metric  for  measuring 
customer  advocacy  for  onboarding,  branch  and  digital 
channels.

•   Digital  communication  and  status  dashboards  were 
launched 
internal 
for  mortgage  customers  and 
stakeholders  enabling  stage-wise  tracking  of  loan 
applications 

The  Bank  ensures  continuous  engagement  with  its 
customers  through  multiple  channels  including  branch 
employees,  surveys,  social  media  and  channels  for 
raising queries and grievances.

Annual Report 2019-20 The  Bank  has  a  well-defined  framework  to  monitor  key 
customer service metrics. The Customer Service Committee 
of  the  Board  and  the  Standing  Committee  on  Customer 
Service  meet  on  a  regular  basis.  These  forums  deliberate 
on issues faced by the customers and the initiatives taken 
by the Bank for enhancing customer service.

The  Bank  complies  with  the  'Customer  Rights  Policy' 
which  enshrines  the  basic  rights  of  customers  of  the 
Bank.  These  rights  include  Right  to  Fair  Treatment; 
Right  to  Transparency,  Fair  and  Honest  Dealing;  Right 
to  Suitability;  Right  to  Privacy  and  Right  to  Grievance 
Redress and Compensation.

to  ensure  that  the  products  offered  are  based  on  an 
assessment of the customer’s financial needs. 

The  Bank  has  a  well-defined  grievance  redressal 
mechanism  with  clear  turnaround  times  for  providing

Management  (CRM)  system  and  tracked  for  end-to-
end resolution. The Bank also has an escalation matrix 
built  in  the  CRM  system  to  ensure  that  customer 
requirements  are  appropriately  addressed  within 

TECHNOLOGY FOCUS 

The Bank’s technology initiatives are aimed at enhancing 
value  and  offering  customers  greater  convenience

In  order  to  deliver  the  overall  business  objectives  and 
make Information Technology as an enabler, the Bank has 
defined a four-pronged strategy.

Focus on Data, Fintechs,  
APIs and Ecosystems

The  Bank  has  a  dedicated  Data  Science  and  Analytics 
team  that  works  across  business  areas  on  projects 
relating  to  business  analytics,  decision  strategies, 
forecasting  models,  machine  learning,  rule  engines 
and  performance  monitoring.  The  Bank  maintains  a 
comprehensive  enterprise-wide  data  warehouse  and 
employs  statistical  and  modelling  tools  for  leading-
edge analytics.

In driving an innovation and startup mindset, the Bank 
has  set  up  an  Innovation  Centre  to  collaborate  with 
and invest in fintech startups and co-develop products 
aligned  with  the  ICICI  Group’s  digital  roadmap.  The 
engagements with the startups are focussed on digital 
lending, revenue growth, digital platforms and process 
efficiencies. 

While  the  Bank  is  focussed  on  growing  its  own  digital 
channels,  it  is  also  creating  an  ecosystem  through 
partnerships  which  cover  all  broad  segments  of 
customer and merchant payments. The Bank is offering 
a host of APIs and SDKs (software developer kits) which 
facilitate third-party apps to offer payment solutions for 
their retail customers. 

The  Bank  has  launched  an  API  Banking  portal  which 
consists  of  250  APIs  and  enables  partner  companies  to 
co-create innovative solutions in a frictionless manner and 
in a fraction of the time usually taken for such integration.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 
STRATEGY

SCALABILITY
To  enable  future-ready  architecture,  which  not  only 
runs efficiently but also scales and evolves to deliver 
business objectives

SPEED

To enable speed to market by adopting agile delivery, 
a  3-D  strategy  involving  delete,  simplify  &  digitise, 
create  and  leverage  reusable  components,  and 
enabled by on-demand infrastructure

SECURITY

To  enable  scalability  and  speed,  security  has  to  be 
embedded  at  the  design  and  development  stage 
itself. The other focus areas are to leverage analytics 
for threat prevention and detection and create zero-
trust model by leveraging network segmentation

STABILITY

Delivering  stability  is  a  continuous  improvement 
process and for which the Bank continuously works 
to define and validate its Key Performance Indicators 
(KPIs),  monitor  these  KPIs  and  customer  journeys 
and keep improvising by investing in areas such as 
maximum availability architecture and automation of 
service deliverables

Annual Report 2019-20 RESPONSIBLE BANKING

The Bank is committed to act professionally, fairly and with 
integrity in all its dealings. It has a zero tolerance approach 
to  bribery  and  corruption  and  has  a  well-defined  policy 
articulating the obligations of employees in these matters. 
The  responsible  banking  pillars  also  include  a  focus  on 
cyber security and data privacy. 

Cyber Security
ICICI  Bank  believes  that  cyber  security  is  an  important 
risk  focus  considering  the  rapid  digitisation,  increasing 
transaction  intensity  and  connectivity  to  networks  and 
ecosystems. It is vital to protect the Bank’s and customers’ 
assets  and  ensure  continued  trust  of  all  stakeholders. 
ICICI  Bank  has  adopted  a  multi-dimensional  approach  to 
cyber  security.  The  CIA  triad  of  confidentiality,  integrity, 
and availability is at the heart of the information security 
framework  implemented  by  the  Bank.  Keeping  customer 
priorities  in  mind,  the  Bank  follows  a  ‘defence-in-depth’ 
approach  in  implementing  cyber  security  solutions.  This 
approach  enables  the  Bank  to  protect  its  data  using  a 
multi-layered  defence  mechanism  using  a  combination 
of tools and techniques which complement and augment 
each other.

The  Bank  also  lays  emphasis  on  customer  elements 
like  protection  from  phishing,  adaptive  authentication, 
awareness initiatives and above all easy-to-use protection 
and risk configuration ability in the hands of the customers. 
Customer-facing applications are designed with the aim to 
provide consolidated customer information in a safe and 
secure manner. The Bank has given its customers complete 
control  on  card  options  like  online  usage,  international 
transaction  capability  and  others  on  its  mobile  app  and 
internet banking platform. This gives customers control on 
card safety on a real-time basis.

The  Bank  has  formulated  robust  security  standards, 
processes  and  protocols  which  are  proactively  reviewed 
and  enhanced  in  the  backdrop  of  an  ever-evolving 
cyber  security  landscape.  The  Bank  has  developed  a 
comprehensive framework and policy which includes the 
Information  Security  Policy,  Cyber  Security  Policy  and 
Cyber Crisis Management Plan to ensure adequate security 
of assets on a continuous basis. The governance structure 
for  management  of 
information  and  cyber  security 
risk  is  helmed  by  Board-level  Committees  including 
the  IT  Strategy  Committee,  the  Risk  Committee  and 
Audit  Committee.  In  addition,  there  are  also  specialised 
committees to review areas of IT and cyber risk, like the 
Information  and  Cyber  Security  Committee.  Additionally, 
the  Bank  has  devised  multiple  key  risk  indicators  and 
dashboard  to  keep  a  track  of  system  stability,  continuity 
and availability, and network uptime. 

The  Bank  ensures  24x7  monitoring  and  surveillance  of 
systems through its Security Operations Centre. The Bank 
has  a  fully  equipped  disaster  recovery  set-up  in  place 
at  remote  locations,  which  is  supplemented  by  periodic 
disaster recovery drills. Further, stringent gating controls 
are followed at the time of induction of new applications. 
Based  on  the  changing  threat  landscape,  the  Bank  has 
procured a Cyber Insurance Policy which is reviewed and 
renewed  every  year  and  new  risk  areas  are  included  if 
deemed necessary. Considering data protection is critical, 
a Data Leakage/Loss Prevention (DLP) system is in place 
in order to protect confidential data at endpoint, network 
and storage levels. The Bank also has an in-house ethical 
hacking  team  (red  teams)  to  continuously  test  banking 
applications  for  vulnerabilities  or  security  flaws.  Also, 
the  Bank  undergoes  multiple  assessments  of  its  security

by  internal  as  well  as  external  auditors,  through  specific 
thematic  assignments  and  regulators  to  continuously 
check its security approach and strengthen its controls.

The Bank also conducts and participates in cyber security 
drills to continuously fine tune its response mechanisms. 
The  Bank  also  runs  frequent  awareness  campaigns  for 
employees  through  mailers,  screen  savers,  etc.,  and 
conducts  internal  simulation  exercises  to  ensure  high 
levels of employee awareness on information security.

(WFH) 

In  the  wake  of  the  Covid-19  outbreak,  and  banking 
being  classified  as  an  essential  service,  the  Bank  made 
arrangements  for  several  key  activities  to  be  performed 
through  secure  work-from-home 
technology 
solutions.  While  rolling  out  these  solutions,  appropriate 
controls  have  also  been  implemented  for  information 
security. Further, detailed advisories have been issued on 
Dos and Don’ts for employees to follow when they work 
from  home.  This  is  also  being  followed  up  with  regular 
communication  on  information  security  best  practices. 
Additional  monitoring  parameters  have  also  been 
configured on the Bank’s 24x7 Security Operations Centre 
to  continually  monitor  logs  pertaining  to  WFH  access  of 
employees  and  generate  alerts  in  case  of  any  unusual 
events.

There were no material incidents of security breaches or 
data loss during fiscal 2020.

Data Protection and Privacy 

ICICI  Bank  is  committed  to  protecting  the  privacy  of 
individuals whose personal data it holds, and processing 
such  personal  data  in  a  way  that  is  consistent  with 

applicable  laws.  It  is  important  for  employees  and 
businesses  to  protect  customer  data  and  follow  the 
applicable  privacy  laws  to  ensure  safety  and  security  of 
data. The Bank believes that the data privacy framework 
should be robust and in line with the evolving regulatory 
changes and digital transformation. 

ICICI  Bank  has  a  global  presence  in  several  overseas 
jurisdictions  including  Hong  Kong,  Singapore,  US,  UK, 
Canada,  China,  Dubai  International  Financial  Centre  and 
Bahrain. It becomes very important for the Bank to have 
an integrated and centralised strategy for achieving data 
privacy compliance. A set of principles have been defined 
with  respect  to  handling  customer  data.  There  is  also  a 
mechanism in place for reporting any form of data breach. 

On  account  of  the  changes  in  data  protection  laws 
and  regulations,  in  fiscal  2020  the  Bank  updated  its 
Personal  Data  Protection  Standard  to  cover  the  personal 
data  protection  regulatory  requirements  of  overseas 
jurisdictions  to  the  extent  that  those  regulations  are 
applicable  to  the  Bank.  Privacy  regulations  require 
personal data of the customers to be protected throughout 
its entire lifecycle. Accordingly, the Bank has undertaken 
several comprehensive measures such as categorising all 
Personal Data and Sensitive Personal Data as ‘Confidential 
Information’,  maintaining  a  record  of  all  its  processing 
activities, entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality 
agreements  with  its  employees  and  third  parties  who 
are  privy  to  personal  data  of  the  customers,  providing 
customers options to exercise the rights which they enjoy 
under  applicable  data  protection  regulations,  incident 
handling procedures, etc. Various data privacy awareness 
initiatives  and  periodic  trainings  have  been  undertaken. 
ICICI  Bank  is  steadfast  in  its  commitment  to  protect  the 
privacy of its customers.

Annual Report 2019-20 CARDLESS CASH WITHDRAWAL

iBOX

The Bank launched the Cardless Cash Withdrawal facility 
which allows customers to withdraw cash from its ATMs 
without using the debit card. The customers can withdraw 
cash from over 15,000 ATMs of the Bank by simply raising 
a  request  on  the  mobile  banking  app,  iMobile.  It  can  be 
used by customers themselves when they do not wish to 
carry the debit card. The daily transaction limit as well as 
per transaction limit is set at `20,000 for this facility.

This  is  a  unique  self-service  delivery  facility,  enabling 
customers to collect their deliverables such as debit card, 
credit  card,  cheque  book  and  returned  cheques,  from 
a  branch  close  to  their  home  or  office,  in  a  hassle-free 
manner.  The  Bank  has  introduced  this  facility  at  over  50 
branches  in  17  cities  in  the  country.  The  fully  automated 
process informs the customer of the current status of their 
package,  from  despatch  to  delivery,  via  an  SMS  at  every 
stage.

SMART EMI

iXPRESS CONNECT 

ICICI Bank launched iXpress Connect, a portal that enables 
its  corporate  clients  to  remotely  design,  develop,  test, 
use  and  integrate  their  systems  with  the  Bank  through 
APIs.  iXpress  Connect  showcases  all  hosted  APIs  to  the 
customers so that they can select the relevant API for their 
business  needs.  Clients  can  access  the  portal  anytime, 
from anywhere and are not dependent on the Bank for API 
development  and  configuration.  iXpress  Connect  helps 
create a unique customised experience for each client in 
accessing the Bank through APIs.

Launched  in  association  with  TranzLease,  an  automobile 
leasing and mobility solutions company, SMART EMI is the 
next-gen auto loan facility that enables customers to drive 
a  new  car  home  at  lower  cost  and  higher  convenience. 
Under this facility, the amount of EMI paid is much lower 
than  a  regular  car  loan  as  the  estimated  resale  value  of 
the car is deducted upfront. The customers also have an 
option  to  either  own  the  car  at  the  end  of  the  tenure  by 
paying an agreed resale value or simply returning the car 
to the leasing company. In case of such return, customers 
are  rewarded  with  special  bonus.  Also,  the  facility  takes 
care  of  the  insurance  and  maintenance  requirements  of 
the vehicle during the financing period.

FD HEALTH

This Fixed Deposit (FD) offers dual benefits of investment 
growth  via  FD  and  protection  through  critical  illness 
coverage. Customers opting for this fixed deposit also get 
a  complimentary  critical  illness  cover  of  `100,000  from 
ICICI  Lombard  General  Insurance  Company  on  opening 
an FD of `200,000 to `300,000 for a tenure of at least two 
years. The customers in the age bracket of 18 to 50 years 
get  a  complimentary  insurance  cover  for  a  year  on  33 
critical illnesses.

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsRISK GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

ICICI Bank is committed to managing its risk in a manner that furthers 
the goal of achieving risk-calibrated, sustainable growth.

As a financial intermediary, the Bank is exposed to various 
risks,  primarily  credit  risk,  market  risk,  liquidity  risk, 
operational risk, information technology risk, compliance 
risk, legal risk and reputation risk. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Bank  has  oversight  of  all 
risks  in  the  Bank  with  specific  Committees  of  the  Board 
constituted  to  facilitate  focussed  oversight.  There  is 
adequate  representation  of  Independent  Directors  on 
each  of  these  Committees.  The  Board  has  framed  the 
specific  mandate  for  each  of  these  Committees.  The 
proceedings and the decision taken by these Committees 
are  reported  to  the  Board.  The  policies  approved  by  the 
Board of Directors or Committees of the Board from time 
to time constitute the governing framework within which 
business  activities  are  undertaken.  The  Bank  has  put  in 
place  an  Enterprise  Risk  Management  and  Risk  Appetite 
Framework that articulates the risk appetite and drills down 
the same into a limit framework for various risk categories. 
The  trends  in  the  portfolio  and  risks  are  reported  to  the 
Board Committees periodically. 

Several 
independent  groups  and  sub-groups  have 
been  constituted  to  facilitate  independent  evaluation, 
monitoring and reporting of risks. These groups function 
independently of the business groups. 

The Risk Management Group is further organised into the 
Credit Risk Management Group, Market Risk Management 
Group,  Operational  Risk  Management  Group  and 
Information Security Group. 

The Internal Audit Group provides independent assurance 
that the aforesaid independent groups monitoring the risks 
in the Bank, are operating in line with policies, regulations 

and  internal  standards  defined  for  management  of  the 
various risks in the Bank.

The Risk Management Group reports to the Risk Committee 
of the Board of Directors. The Compliance Group and the 
Internal Audit Group report to the Audit Committee of the 
Board  of  Directors.  The  Risk  Management,  Compliance 
and  Internal  Audit  Groups  have  administrative  reporting 
to the President - Corporate Centre. 

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE FOR 
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Information Technology (IT) governance structure in 
the  Bank  consists  of  the  IT  Strategy  Committee  at  the 
apex  which  is  supported  by  the  Risk  Committee  and 
Audit Committee. The Information Technology Strategy 
Committee is chaired by an Independent Director and is 
responsible for approving the policies and strategies for 
information technology and ensuring that the Bank's IT 
strategy is aligned with the Bank's business objectives. 
At  the  executive  management  level,  the  Committees 
which oversee the various aspects of IT operations and 
IT  risk  are  the  IT  Steering  Committee  and  Information 
and  Cyber  Security  Committee.  The  proceedings 
of  the  IT  Steering  Committee  and  Information  and 
Cyber  Security  Committee  are  reviewed  by  the  IT 
Strategy  Committee.  Further,  the  Business  Continuity 
Management  (BCM)  Steering  Committee  approves  and 
monitors  the  implementation  of  the  comprehensive 
BCM plan, which includes a business continuity plan for 
processes, the disaster recovery plan for IT systems and 
an  emergency  response  plan  for  mitigating  the  risk  of 
injuries to customers and employees and damage to the 
Bank's assets.

Annual Report 2019-20 KEY RISKS IMPACTING THE BANK’S BUSINESS

Since the first quarter of calendar year 2020, the Covid-19 
pandemic  has  impacted  several  countries,  including 
India.  This  resulted  in  countries  announcing  lockdowns 
and  quarantine  measures  that  sharply  stalled  economic 
activity.  The  Government  of  India  initiated  a  nation-wide 
lockdown  from  March  25,  2020  for  three  weeks  which 
was  extended  to  May  31,  2020  in  three  phases.  Several 
countries took unprecedented fiscal and monetary actions 
to help alleviate the impact of the crisis. The Reserve Bank 
of  India  (RBI)  has  announced  several  measures  to  ease 
stress in the financial system, including enhancing system 
liquidity,  moratorium  on  loan  repayments  for  borrowers, 
asset classification standstill benefit to overdue accounts 
where  a  moratorium  has  been  granted  and  relaxation  in 
liquidity coverage requirement, among others.

The Indian economy would be impacted by this pandemic 
with  contraction  in  industrial  and  services  output  across 
small  and  large  businesses.  The  banking  system  is 
expected  to  be  impacted  by  lower  lending  opportunities 
and revenues in the short to medium term and an increase 
in credit costs. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on 
Bank’s  results  remains  uncertain  and  dependent  on  the 
spread of Covid-19, further steps taken by the government 
and  the  central  bank  to  mitigate  the  economic  impact, 
steps taken by the Bank and the time it takes for economic 
activities  to  resume  at  normal  levels.  The  Bank’s  capital 
and liquidity position are strong and would continue to be 
the focus area.

CRISIS AND CATASTROPHE RELATED RISKS

RISKS
Crises  in  the  nature  of  economic  events,  financial 
risks,  geo-political 
tensions,  natural  calamities, 
climate change and health epidemics could affect the 
Indian economy or the economies of countries where 
the Bank operates. The global financial crisis in 2008 
and  the  global  outbreak  of  the  Covid-19  pandemic 
are  events  that  have  significantly  impacted  the 
Indian  economy  and  businesses  and  have  created 
new  challenges  for  banks.  These  crises  could  also 
lead to subsequent changes in laws, regulations and 
policies,  which  could  affect  the  Bank's  business  in 
general,  its  operations,  its  products  and  services 
and could reduce profitability.

MITIGANTS
The  Bank  focusses  on  building  capabilities  on  an 
ongoing  basis  to  respond  to  such  events,  including 
natural calamities and epidemics. The response could 
be through various channels including strengthening 
the  financial  position  of  the  Bank  by  maintaining  a 
strong balance sheet and ensuring adequate buffers 
in  capital  and  liquidity,  continuously  enhancing  risk 
management  practices  in  credit  and  operations, 
business continuity planning, skilling employees, and 
building  or  creating  alternate  infrastructure  facilities 
and other such responses. 

MACROECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES

RISKS
Developments  in  the  Indian  economy  could  have 
a  material  impact  on  growth  and  value  creation 
in  the  Bank’s  business.  The  Bank’s  presence  in 
international  markets  also  exposes  it  to  risks  from 
global  developments.  Uncertainties  exist  due  to 
India’s high dependence on global crude oil, capital 
requirements, evolving policies and sustainable job 
creation.  These  risks  are  heightened  in  view  of  the 
Covid-19 pandemic.

MITIGANTS
The  Bank  closely  monitors  developments  in  the 
global  and  Indian  economy.  It  has  a  dedicated 
team  for  monitoring  and  evaluating  the  impact  of 
macroeconomic trends. The Bank has an established 
Country  Risk  Management  Policy  which  addresses 
the 
identification,  measurement,  monitoring  and 
reporting  of  country  risk.  The  Bank’s  risk  team 
continuously monitors all sectors as well as corporates 
within the sectors and country risks. 

31

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsKEY RISKS IMPACTING THE BANK’S BUSINESS

CREDIT

RISKS
The Bank’s core business is lending which exposes 
it  to  various  types  of  credit  risks,  especially  failure 
in  repayments  and  increase  in  non-performing 
loans.  The  Bank’s  loan  portfolio  includes  retail 
loans  and  corporate  loans  which  are  vulnerable 
to  economic  risks.  These  risks  are  heightened  in 
view  of  the  Covid-19  pandemic.  Banks  in  India  are 
subject  to  directed  lending  requirements  that  may 
create additional risks. Further, legal and regulatory 
changes  and  increasingly  stringent  requirements 
regarding  non-performing  loans  and  provisioning 
for such loans could also be a risk. 

MITIGANTS
The  credit-related  aspects  in  the  Bank  are  primarily 
governed by the Credit and Recovery Policy approved 
by the Board of Directors. The Bank measures, monitors 
and  manages  credit  risks  at  an  individual  borrower 
level  and  at  the  portfolio  level.  In  the  last  few  years, 
the Bank has refined and strengthened its framework 
for  managing  concentration  risk,  including  limits  and 
thresholds with respect to single borrower and group 
exposure. Limits have been set up for borrower group 
based on turnover and track record and on lower rated 
borrowers.  Further,  the  Bank  has  pursued  a  strategy 
of  building  a  granular  and  diversified  portfolio  and 
lending  to  better  rated  corporates.  The  Bank's  efforts 
are  also  being  strengthened  through  institutional 
mechanisms like the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 
and Credit Bureaus. 

MARKET AND LIQUIDITY

RISKS
Movement  in  interest  rates,  foreign  exchange  rates, 
credit  spreads  and  equity  prices  could  impact  the 
Bank’s  net  interest  margin,  the  value  of  the  trading 
portfolio,  income  from  treasury  operations  and  the 
quality of the loan portfolio. These risks are heightened 
in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. Banks in India are 
subject to statutory liquidity ratio requirement, capital 
and  liquidity  requirements  that  structurally  exposes 
them  to  interest  rate  risks  and  liquidity  risks.  Further, 
deposits  are  an  important  source  of  funding  which 
are primarily short-term in nature and banks face the 
risk of asset-liability mismatches if not rolled over by 
depositors.

MITIGANTS
The  Investment  Policy,  Asset  Liability  Management 
Policy  and  Derivatives  Policy,  approved  by  the  Board 
of  Directors,  govern  the  treasury  activities  and  the 
associated  risks  and  contain  the  limits  structure. 
The  Asset  Liability  Management  Committee  which 
includes the MD & CEO, wholetime directors and senior 
executives  periodically  reviews  the  Bank’s  business 
profile  and  its  impact  on  asset  liability  management. 
The  Market  Risk  Management  Group  monitors  key 
parameters  on  a  periodic  basis  and  recommends 
changes  in  policies,  processes  and  methodologies. 
Building a strong liability franchise is a core strategic 
focus for the Bank. 

32

Annual Report 2019-20 OPERATIONAL

RISKS
There is a risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed 
internal processes, people or systems or from external 
events. This could include fraud or other misconduct 
by employees or outsiders, unauthorised transactions 
by employees and third parties, mis-reporting or non-
reporting with respect to statutory, legal or regulatory 
reporting  and  disclosure  obligations,  operational 
errors  including  clerical  and  record-keeping,  and 
system failures. 

MITIGANTS
The Bank has put in place a comprehensive system of 
internal controls, systems and procedures to monitor 
transactions, key back-up procedures and to undertake 
regular  contingency  planning.  The  governance  and 
framework for managing operational risks is defined in 
the Operational Risk Management Policy approved by 
the Board of Directors.  

TECHNOLOGY

and 

technological  developments 

RISKS
Rapid 
the 
increasing  dependence  on  technology,  combined 
with the continuous digitisation of banking activities 
have  exposed  banks  to  a  host  of  new  risks  like 
obsolescence  of 
IT  resiliency  and 
IT  systems, 
business  continuity,  technology  vendor  and  third 
party  risks,  incorrect  or  inadequate  data  backups, 
inadequate 
practices, 
change  management 
ineffective identity and access management leading 
to  unauthorised  access  to  IT  systems,  budget 
overruns  in  IT  projects,  regulatory  non-compliance 
and  other  relevant  matters.  Misalignment  between 
business and IT strategies is also a formidable risk. 

MITIGANTS
The  Bank’s 
Information  Technology  Strategy 
Committee,  which  is  a  Board  level  Committee, 
ensures  that  the  information  technology  strategy  is 
aligned  with  the  business  strategy.  The  Committee 
meets periodically to review ongoing IT projects and 
their  schedules,  major  IT  incidents,  technology  risk 
indicators  and  status  of  regulatory  compliance.  The 
Bank has established policies and control frameworks 
on change management, logical access management, 
IT outsourcing and Data Centre processes to ensure 
that the risks are identified and appropriate mitigating 
controls  are  put  in  place.  In  addition,  independent 
assessments  of  IT  processes  are  carried  out  by  the 
Internal Audit Group periodically to provide assurance 
on the effectiveness and efficiency of IT systems and 
processes.

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsKEY RISKS IMPACTING THE BANK’S BUSINESS

CYBER RISK 

RISKS
Increasing  reliance  on  technology  and  digitisation 
increases  the  risks  of  cyber  attacks 
including 
computer  viruses,  malicious  or  destructive  code, 
phishing  attacks,  denial  of  service  or  information, 
ransomware,  unauthorised  data  access,  attacks 
on  personal  emails  of  employees,  application 
vulnerability  and  other  security  breaches.  This 
could negatively impact the confidentiality, integrity 
or  availability  of  data  pertaining  to  the  Bank  and 
its  customers.  Given  the  nature  of  the  new  digital 
economy, the Bank also has business and operational 
relationships with third parties and these could also 
be sources of information security risk.

MITIGANTS
The Board level Information Technology (IT) Strategy 
Committee  oversees  cyber  security  related  threat 
landscape  and  the  Bank’s  preparedness  to  address 
these  threats  from  a  prevention,  detection  and 
response  perspective.  The  Bank’s  Chief  Information 
Security  Officer  (CISO)  is  responsible  for  tracking 
the  risks.  Confidentiality,  integrity,  and  availability 
(CIA)  form  part  of  a  comprehensive  information 
security  framework  that  the  Bank  has  put  in  place. 
The  Bank  also  lays  emphasis  on  customer  security 
and has invested in the areas of phishing protection, 
adaptive authentication, awareness initiatives and has 
also  taken  industry  -  leading  initiatives  in  providing 
customers  easy  and  immediate  ability  to  configure 
their risks and limits. 

COMPLIANCE

RISKS
The environment for financial institutions is witnessing 
unprecedented  changes  in  laws,  regulations  and 
regulatory  policies.  This  could  increase  the  risks  of 
non-compliance  and  regulatory  actions  in  the  form 
of  fines,  restrictions  or  other  sanctions  for  instances 
of  regulatory  failures.  The  failure  to  comply  with 
applicable regulations by employees, representatives, 
agents, third-party service providers either in or outside 
the  course  of  their  services,  may  result  in  inquiries 
or  investigations  by  regulatory  and  enforcement 
authorities  either  against  the  Bank,  or  its  employees, 
its  representatives,  agents  and  third-party  service 
providers. 

MITIGANTS
The  Bank  has  a  dedicated  compliance  team  that 
continuously monitors new developments and updates 
the  Bank’s  senior  management  on  their  implications. 
All  relevant  groups  in  the  Bank  build  capabilities  on 
an ongoing basis to be able to respond to regulatory 
changes  in  a  time-bound  manner.  The  Bank  also 
actively  participates  in  forums  and  advisory  groups 
for the development of policies in the financial sector. 
The  Bank  seeks  to  have  a  strong  compliance  culture 
driven by the organisation’s leadership. There are well-
articulated  policies  with  regard  to  code  of  conduct, 
whistleblower  complaints,  redressal  mechanism  for 
complaints  and  engagement  with  agents  and  third-
party  vendors.  The  Bank  also  benchmarks  and  seeks 
to adopt industry-best practices.

including 

RISKS
Any  negative  publicity  arising  due  to  actual  or 
alleged  conduct 
lending  practices  and 
credit  exposures,  the  level  of  non-performing  loans, 
corporate governance, regulatory compliance, sharing 
or inadequate protection of customer information and 
actions  taken  by  the  government,  regulatory  bodies 
and  investigative  agencies  could  impact  the  Bank’s 
reputation.  It  can  also  impact  the  Bank’s  ability  to 
attract  or  retain  customers  and  expose  it  to  litigation 
and regulatory action.

MITIGANTS
The  Bank  has  a  Reputation  Risk  Management  Group 
which  identifies,  assesses  and  monitors  the  risk  in 
accordance  with  defined  policies  and  procedures. 
Further,  the  Bank  has  well-articulated  policies  on 
various aspects including business conduct, employee 
conduct,  compliance,  IT  and  other  relevant  identified 
areas that could potentially create reputation risks for 
the Bank. 

EMPLOYEE

RISKS
The  ability  to  attract,  motivate  and  retain  talented 
professionals and the availability of skilled management 
is  critical  for  the  success  in  implementing  the  Bank’s 
strategy  and  competing  effectively.  The  loss  of  key 
senior executives or qualified young professionals and 
failure to replace them in a time-bound manner could 
impact the business. 

MITIGANTS
The  Bank  has  an  employee-centric  value  proposition 
of Saath Aapka (which means ‘With You’) that focusses 
on  learning,  meritocracy  and  care  for  its  employees. 
The  Bank  has  put  in  place  robust  programmes  and 
policies  that  provide  opportunities  for  employees  to 
build leadership capabilities.

INTERNATIONAL

RISKS
The  Bank  has  a  presence 
in  multiple  overseas 
jurisdictions,  through  its  branches  and  subsidiaries, 
which  can  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  regulatory,  legal 
and business challenges and increase the complexity 
of risks. Enhanced regulations in these countries could 
lead  to  additional  scrutiny.  There  could  also  be  risks 
arising from political changes in these jurisdictions.

The  Bank’s  strategy  for  international  business  is 
largely 
India-linked  opportunities. 
There  is  a  dedicated  team  overseeing  the  risks

ICICI Bank is creating a 
future ready workforce, 
that focusses on customer 
centricity in its approach 
and is skilled with a 
360 degree business 
orientation.

ICICI Bank’s people practices have evolved over the years 
to  cater  to  the  rapidly  changing  business  environment. 
Synergy  that  binds  all  employees  with  a  single  DNA,  a 
culture that encourages innovation and execution, and an 
ethos that instils in employees the belief to serve as ONE 
TEAM  –  with  humility,  responsibility  and  sensitivity  –  are 
core to our approach.

Designing agile organisation structures to capture market 
opportunities is the Bank’s focus. This is further enhanced 
by  our  culture  and  people  strategy  that  focusses  on 
innovation  and  technology  to  re-imagine  and  redefine 
people processes and build capabilities.

Since  fiscal  2019,  the  Bank  has  undertaken  various 
initiatives  to  strengthen  its  culture.  Workspaces  have 
been  redesigned  to  reflect  fading  hierarchies  and  create 
an  open  office  culture.  Continuous  work  on  process 
simplification  have  been  undertaken  by  teams.  As  part 
of the transition, in fiscal 2020 the entire leadership team 

36

adopted a singular performance objective that is aligned 
with  market  opportunities  and  within  the  guardrails  of 
risk  management.  These  shifts  have  been  driven  and 
reinforced  across 
through  regular 
the  organisation 
communication  meetings, 
leadership  sessions  with 
the  senior  management,  induction  programmes  and 
Leadership Development Workshops.

With  the  purpose  of  enhancing  product  synergies, 
diminish  department  boundaries,  and  further  embed 
the  essence  of  One  Bank,  One  Team,  One  Goal,  the 
Bank created 'Ecosystem' teams. These teams focussed 
on key customer and market segments across retail and 
corporate  banking,  real  estate  businesses,  NRI,  NBFC 
and  e-commerce  to  enable  the  employees  to  cater  to 
360  degree  needs  of  the  customer.  These  ecosystems 
have  been  instrumental  in  driving  cross-functional 
collaboration  and  enhancing  focus  on  servicing  the 
customers as one team. 

With  the  objective  of  empowering  the  front-line  within 
the  guardrails  of  risk  to  win  in  the  marketplace  with 
highest  level  of  service  orientation  towards  external 
and  internal  customers,  ICICI  Bank  rechristened  all  
the  corporate  offices  and  central  functions  as  ICICI 
Service Centres.

ICICI  Bank  has  been  at  the  forefront  with  regard  to 
innovation  in  Indian  banking.  Today,  creating  models

contours of a workforce and challenged the traditional 
biases  towards  hiring.  This 
initiative  pushed  the 
boundaries that defined employee profiles as urban and 
English  speaking  and  aligned  to  a  workforce  based  on 
social  skills  and  attitude  of  individuals.  The  industry-
academia  initiatives  thus  attracted  a  diverse  pool  of 
applicants from various fields thereby ensuring diversity 
in terms of gender, cultural and social backgrounds and 
paved way for the Bank to tap on bright and intelligent 
resources with healthy representation from the different 
socio-economic strata of the society from these cities.

The  success  of  the  Industry-Academia  Partnerships 
rests on its core area of focus to acclimatise individuals 
with  ICICI  Bank  culture.  While  the  course  focusses  on 
grooming individuals with relevant content, and industry- 
specific  skills,  its  primary  objective  is  to  acculturise 
the  team  with  the  ICICI  Bank  way  of  life.  Today,  this 
partnership  stands  out  as  one  of  the  most  productive 
and  efficient  channels,  and  has  been  instrumental  in 
scaling up to cater to the business opportunities. 

ICICI  Bank  has  been  a  preferred  employer  on  campus 
for  over  two  decades.  Campus  engagement  is  not 
restricted to only onboarding fresh minds into the Bank, 
but  to  have  a  continuous  engagement  with  campuses 
through various initiatives is a core area of focus. With 
an  endeavour  of  engaging  young  bright  minds  and 
giving them exposure to live business cases, ICICI Bank 
launched its flagship case study competition – 'Beat the 
Curve' – in 2018 across premier B-Schools of the country. 
Amongst  over  100  such  marquee  events  organised 
by  companies,  'Beat  the  Curve'  has  been  ranked  as 
the  fourth  most  prestigious  corporate  competition  by 
Dare2Compete  within  two  years  of  its  inception.  This 
year,  the  Bank  received  over  2,200  entries  where  the 
future leaders shared ideas on new products, processes 
and  customer  experience  enhancements  keeping 
technology at the centre.

Nurturing  young  talent  and  training  bright  minds  from 
diverse  education  backgrounds  to  become  bankers,  has 
been  a  key  differentiator  for  ICICI  Bank.  Building  upon 
this  ethos,  the  Bank  launched  the  ‘Ascend  Programme’ – 
an initiative to hire top talent from prestigious graduation 
institutions.  These  employees  were  selected 
from 
diverse academic backgrounds ranging from humanities, 
commerce,  liberal  arts  etc.  and  were  trained  to  take  up 
front-end customer-facing roles. Today, the programme is 
a success with the team matching up to the expectations 
and productivity measures – What makes the programme 
truly  unique  is  its  structure  which  is  based  on  a  peer 
mentorship framework as against a supervisory structure.

ICICI Bank has always been at the forefront to leverage 
avenues  for  integrating  technology,  data  analytics  and 
science in the space of talent acquisition. This is with a 

38

focus on creating state-of-the-art platforms that provide 
superior service and applicant experience.

At  ICICI  Bank,  learning  is  integral  to  work,  and  various 
enabling systems have been institutionalised to provide 
opportunities  for  capability  building.  These  initiatives 
span  across  the  employee  life  cycle,  starting  from  the 
time they join the Bank, and at various stages during the 
career. The Bank follows a blended approach to learning 
wherein  classroom  training  is  augmented  with  digital 
delivery of training. 

The  banking  landscape  is  continuously  evolving  and 
being  augmented  with  data  sciences,  design  thinking 
and  artificial  intelligence  that  governs  strategies  and

The  Bank  launched  a  transformative  series  titled  ‘12x12 
Ignite' in the quest to keep the employees abreast with the 
breakthroughs  in  the  domains  of  digital  transformation, 
data  science  and  behavioural  economics.  The  sessions 
gave  an  opportunity  to  teams  to  engage  with  domain 
experts  and  thought  leaders  from  around  the  world  to

In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, ICICI Bank took several 
steps  to  ensure  continuity  in  operations  and  minimal 
disruption to services for customers along with the safety 
of its employees. Most of the Bank’s branches remained 
operational during the period with reduced staff strength. 
To ensure safety of the front-line staff working at branches, 
the teams were rostered across branches in a manner to 
minimise  risk  and  exposure.  Residential  pin  code  details 

of  approximately  70,000  employees  from  across  the 
Bank were analysed to map employees to branches thus 
minimising local travel and exposure. The Bank proactively 
undertook an identification and contact tracing process for 
all employees to ascertain overseas travel history for the 
months of February and March 2020. This process helped 
identify over 100 employees who had travelled overseas 
and  were  immediately  quarantined  to  limit  the  exposure 
and  risk  to  other  employees.  In  anticipation  of  likely 
restrictions  being  imposed  to  curb  the  pandemic,  the 
Bank geared up all the support services well in advance. 
Teams across functions like operations and phone banking 
were enabled to operate remotely and process all queries 
and  transactions  with  minimal  disruption  to  processes  
and service. 

With  a 
focus  on  ensuring  health  and  safety  of 
employees,  ICICI  Bank  launched  a  Covid-19  Helpline 
where  employees  could  reach  out  for  consultation 
with  doctors  pertaining  to  Covid-19  concerns  and 
symptoms.  ICICI  Bank  also  partnered  with  a  testing 
lab  approved  by  the  Government  as  a  testing  centre, 
to  provide  for  home  testing  for  employees  in  Mumbai 
and  Pune.  The  Bank  also  encouraged  employees  to 
download and use the government promoted 'Aarogya 
Setu' app which is a pan-India single source for contact 
tracking an individual’s proximity to a Covid-19 infected 
person and also gives information on best practices and  
medical advice.

To  convey  the  appreciation  on  behalf  of  the  Bank  and 
maintain the morale of employees who were discharging 
duties in a high risk environment, the senior management 
of the Bank undertook e-visits to over 4,000 branches via 
digital mode and interacted with the staff present there. 
A sentiment of care, gratitude and applause was shared 
with  teams.  Numerous  communications  on  guidelines 
on  work  from  home  and  other  communications  with 
respect to general and specific advisories on health and 
safety, IT security concerns specific to a work from home 
scenario, and benefits and tie-ups initiated on account of 
the  Covid-19  crisis  were  shared  on  an  ongoing  basis  to 
keep employees updated with key developments.

SOCIAL INITIATIVES  
OF ICICI BANK

ICICI FOUNDATION  
FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH 

India is making significant progress in addressing social 
issues around poverty, access to livelihoods, preventive 
healthcare and education. Extensive efforts are, however, 
still  required  to  address  the  social  development  needs 
of  a  large  country.  With  a  purpose-driven  approach  to 
create  meaningful  social  impact,  the  Bank  has  been 
playing a role in some of these areas. The Bank considers 
lending  opportunities  which  have  the  potential  to 
create  a  positive  impact  in  society.  In  fiscal  2020,  the 
Bank  financed  a  company  in  a  special  economic  zone 
which employs about 22,000 people from neighbouring 
villages. A large number of employees are women who 
are  the  sole  bread  earners  for  their  families.  The  ICICI 
Foundation for Inclusive Growth (ICICI Foundation) has 
been extensively involved in providing skill training and 
enhancing  livelihood  capabilities  among  the  segments 
of society requiring such support, including in villages. 
Rural development is particularly an important focus for 
the Bank where efforts are being driven to enhance the 
village ecosystem.

the  end  of 

Towards 
fiscal  2020,  unprecedented 
developments  emerged  for  India  due  to  the  Covid-19 
pandemic. This led to a difficult period, where the lockdown 
created  disruptions  particularly  for  low  income  groups 
and  extraordinary  efforts  were  demanded  from  frontline 
staff  like  doctors,  police,  municipalities  and  others.  The 
Bank  actively  participated  in  the  efforts  on  the  ground 
by  supplying  critical  materials  like  sanitisers,  masks  and 
personal protective equipment. Ventilators were supplied 
to hospitals. The efforts extended across the country and 
covered 28 states and six union territories. The ICICI Group 
has committed a sum of `1.00 billion towards meeting this 
challenge,  as  part  of  which  the  Bank  contributed  `500.0 
million to the PM CARES Fund in April 2020.

During  fiscal  2020,  ICICI  Foundation  adopted  a  more 
focussed  approach

its  efforts 

Rural Livelihood Programme

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sustainable  and  distributed  growth  is  a  key  driver  of 
the  Rural  Livelihood  Programme.  ICICI  Foundation  has 
structured its efforts around four key areas:
• Addressing  shortages  in  the  village  ecosystem  which 
includes efforts to improve the yield and quality of local 
products

• Addressing surplus in the local economy and developing 
value  chains  to  improve  market  linkages  for  better 
realisation

• Adopting  an  inclusive  approach  by  providing  low 
investment  entrepreneurial  opportunities  to  landless 
and other communities, and;

• Undertaking

by 
local  environmental  challenges  and 

initiatives 

ICICI Foundation reoriented its strategy during fiscal 2020 
under  the  Rural  Livelihood  Programme  for  enhancing 
outcomes  and 
its  sustainability.  From  an  approach 
involving interventions at a village level, the strategy was 
shifted to identifying clusters of villages with similar needs 
for  driving  interventions.  The  model  is  based  on  Value 
Chain & Entrepreneurship Development. 

In  identified  clusters,  multiple  groups  of  trainees  work 
in  various  segments  of  the  value  chain  of  an  identified 
commodity, or as entrepreneurs in a for-profit arrangement 
or as employees. The idea is to create supply chains and 
synergies that can enhance value and make it sustainable.

just  individuals.  This  model  has  also  made  significant 
impact on the environment.

The  efforts  in  these  areas  have  benefited  over  76,000 
people in the villages during fiscal 2020. On a cumulative 
basis, our efforts in the rural areas have impacted lives of 
close to 275,000 people, with women participation of 60%. 

ICICI Academy for Skills 

At  March  31,  2020,  ICICI  Foundation  is  operating  27  skill 
training  centres  under  the  ICICI  Academy  for  Skills  in 
19  states  and  one  union  territory.  These  Academies  are 
providing  industry-relevant,  job-oriented  training  on  a 
pro  bono  basis  in  10  technical  and  three  non-technical 
skills.  With  a  comprehensive  approach  which  ensures 
employment  opportunities  for  all  successful  trainees, 
these centres are equipped with state-of-the-art practical 

labs  to  support  and  enhance  learning.  Skill  training  also 
includes  modules  on  financial  literacy,  life  skills  and  soft 
skills. ICICI Academy for Skills opened three new centres 
in Aurangabad, Osmanabad and Jammu in fiscal 2020. A 
significant achievement of this programme is that 100% of 
the trainees who had opted for job placement have found 
suitable employment with corporations. ICICI Foundation 
had  introduced  a  new  training  programme  during  fiscal 
2019  for  'Home  Health  Aide',  which  has  been  successful 
and is now being scaled up. 

Rural Self Employment Training 
Institutes (RSETIs)

ICICI  Foundation  manages  two  RSETIs  at  Udaipur  and 
Jodhpur  with  19  satellite  centres  in  Rajasthan.  These 
centres  provide  skill  development  courses  based  on  the 
local market requirements. This has significantly improved 
livelihood opportunities for the trainees. The ICICI RSETIs 
have  been  recognised  as  the  top  performing  RSETIs  in 
India for eight consecutive years by the Ministry of Rural 
Development  and  the  National  Centre  for  Excellence  of 
RSETIs. In fiscal 2020, ICICI RSETIs were awarded the first 
and second position respectively by the Ministry of Rural 
Development,  Government  of  India.  In  the  fight  against 
Covid-19  pandemic,  the  ICICI  RSETIs  contributed  by 
making face masks and private protection equipment for 
the district administration. 

Other Activities

ICICI  Foundation  organises  blood  donation  camps 
and  facilitates  participation  of  Bank’s  employees  and 
customers  in  Daan  Utsav,  a  platform  to  donate  for 
charitable  causes.  The  proceeds  are  deployed  for 
activities relating to preventive healthcare, environment 
protection  and  other  social  causes.  During  fiscal  2020, 
the  proceeds  from  the  Daan  Utsav  were  disbursed  to 
support projects like watershed development activities, 
nutrition  supplements  for  children  undergoing  cancer 
treatment,  and  other  community 
like 
addressing human wildlife conflict.

products.  The  Bank  also  offers  credit-related  services 
to  microfinance  companies  that  are  providing  financial 
services to the rural population.

Financial inclusion is another activity which the Bank has 
actively pursued in the rural areas. At March 31, 2020, the 
Bank  had  over  21.0  million  Basic  Savings  Bank  Deposit 
Accounts (BSBDA), of which around 4.7 million accounts 
were  opened  under  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Jan  Dhan 
Yojana. The Bank encourages and enables these account 
holders to transact digitally. ICICI Bank is also promoting 
government schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti 
Bima Yojana for providing life insurance, Pradhan Mantri 
Suraksha  Bima  Yojana  for  providing  accident  insurance 
and Atal Pension Yojana for providing pension benefits. At 
March 31, 2020, a total of 4.9 million customers had been 
enrolled under these three social security schemes.

financial  solutions 

Offering  complete 
to  customers 
and  their  ecosystems  has  been  a  strategic  focus  in  the 
Bank’s businesses. In the rural space, an example of this 
approach  is  the  financial  solution  provided  to  farmers 
and  other  participants  of  the  dairy  ecosystem.  This 
includes providing a suite of financial solutions including 
term  loans  and  working  capital  loans  to  dairy  unions, 
into 
payment  solutions  and  promoting 
animal  husbandry.  These  solutions  are  supplemented 
by  providing  skill  training  through  ICICI  Foundation.  The 
Bank  has  reached  out  to  over  300,000  farmers,  engaged 
in animal husbandry across 5,000 villages since inception. 
The  Bank  has  also  tied-up  with  more  than  2,000  Village 
Level  Cooperative  Societies  (VLCS)  comprising  about 
200,000 active members.

SOCIAL AND RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL

RURAL DEVELOPMENT 

The  Bank’s  long-standing  effort  in  rural  development 
related  activities  continued  during  fiscal  2020.  Agricultural 
activities  remain  the  mainstay  for  rural  areas,  and  the 
Bank has been providing financial solutions for customers 
across  the  agri-value  chain,  particularly  farmers.  In 
a  mission  to  enable  better  opportunities  for  farmers, 
the  Bank  has  started  funding  electronic  negotiable 
warehousing  receipts  (eNWR).  Lending  against  eNWR 
is quicker, hassle-free and convenient for both the Bank 
and  borrowers.  Farmers  can  use  eNWR  to  get  loans 
against  underlying  commodities.  This  lending  protects 
the farmers from volatility and provides opportunities to 
avail  better  prices  for  their  produce.  The  Warehousing 
Development  and  Regulatory  Authority  (WDRA)  has  a 
well-defined  mechanism  to  empanel  warehouses  for 
issuing eNWR. 

There  are  specific  segments  of  the  rural  economy  that 
require  the  engagement  to  be  more  supportive  and 
sensitive  to  their  requirements.  In  this  regard,  the  Bank 
undertakes  initiatives  that  address  the  needs  of  these 
segments  of  the  rural  population.  The  Self-Help  Group 
(SHG)  Programme  is  an  initiative  that  has  enhanced 
entrepreneurship  among  women  in  the  rural  areas.  The 
Bank provides a comprehensive suite of banking products, 
including  zero-balance  savings  account  and  term  loans, 
for  meeting  the  business  requirements  of  the  women  of 
these  SHGs.  Services  are  offered  at  their  doorstep,  thus 
saving their time and money on visits to the branch. The 
Bank  is  also  organising  financial  literacy  camps  and  has 
set up dedicated service desks at select branches to guide 
SHGs  on  banking  procedures.  There  has  been  a  gradual 
rise  in  entrepreneurial  ventures  by  women  in  the  areas 
where the Bank has been providing services to SHGs.

The  Bank  has  provided  loans  to  over  7.0  million  women 
beneficiaries  through  over  540,000  SHGs  at  March 
31,  2020.  Of  these,  2.5  million  women  were  first-time 
borrowers,  who  had  not  taken  a  loan  from  any  formal 
financial  institution.  In  addition  to  direct  customers,  the 
Bank reaches out to about 0.9 million customers through 
microfinance institutions.

ICICI Bank also provides lending to Joint Liability Groups 
(JLGs)  which  are  semi-formal  groups  from  the  weaker 
sections of society. In addition to direct efforts, the Bank 
has tied up with about 530 non-government organisations 
called  Self  Help  Promoting  Institutions  (SHPIs).  These 
SHPIs  are  empanelled  as  Business  Correspondents 

46

Annual Report 2019-20 The  Bank  is  also  leveraging  Common  Service  Centres 
(CSCs) for offering relevant products and services to the 
rural  population.  CSCs  are  e-governance  centres,  set  up 
by  a  government  body,  where  citizens  can  avail  various 
government  services  including  payment  of  utility  bills, 
banking,  and  accessing  information  on  land  records. 
The Bank aims to leverage this network to offer relevant 
financial products and services to the rural population in 
the  catchment  areas  of  the  CSCs.  The  Bank  expects  to 
make its services available across 100,000 CSCs.

Engaging with the Government for 
Delivering Value

ICICI  Bank  believes  that  continuous  collaboration  with 
government agencies and providing solutions, including IT 
solutions, contribute towards strengthening government’s 
engagement  with  citizens  and  stakeholders.  These 
include  strengthening  e-governance, 
solutions  could 
enabling end-to-end digital payments for critical projects, 
participating  in  pilot  projects  as  a  financial  service 
provider  and  supporting  initiatives  for  promoting  social 
development.  In  this  regard,  the  Bank  participated  in 
several such opportunities during fiscal 2020. 

including 

As  part  of  the  government’s  efforts  on  'Ease  of  Doing 
Business'  and  smoothening  the  registration  process  for 
new  companies,  there  has  been  a  focus  on  providing 
clearances  digitally, 
for  opening  of  bank 
accounts. ICICI Bank has worked along with the Ministry of 
Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of India, to integrate 
the  digital  account  opening  process  for  new  companies 
on  its  platform.  This  enables  companies  to  select  the 
bank of their choice while filling the application, to get an 
instant account number. Details provided are then verified 
at the backend for account activation post completion of 
formalities.

ICICI Bank is one of the leading banks integrated with the 
Public Financial Management System (PFMS) platform set 
up by the Office of Controller General of Accounts (CGA), 
Department  of  Expenditure,  Ministry  of  Finance.  The 
system  enables  efficient  flow  of  funds  from  the  central 
government  to  implementing  agencies  at  state,  district, 
block and village levels. The Government of India’s direct 
benefit  transfer  (DBT)  programme  rides  on  the  PFMS 
platform, which has brought in efficiency and ensures that 
benefits  reach  the  intended  beneficiaries  within  a  given 
time  frame.  ICICI  Bank  has  been  associated  with  PFMS 

since its inception and is one of the largest processor of 
payments  through  this  platform.  During  fiscal  2020,  the 
Bank had processed more than 60.0 million transactions 
in  25  states.  For  providing  ease  and  convenience  to 
stakeholders,  ICICI  Bank  has  provided  multiple  channels 
for uninterrupted service delivery through its mobile app, 
web portal and call centre.  

Another  area  of  engagement  with  the  government,  is  in 
the  Smart  Cities  Mission,  an  urban  renewal  programme 
of the Government of India. ICICI Bank has been closely 
associated  with  this  initiative  and  has  been  working 
with  various  Smart  Cities  projects  for  providing  digital 
collection  and  payment  solutions.  ICICI  Bank  is  one  of 
the leading banks in developing Common City Payments 
Solution  (CCPS),  a  citizen-centric  solution  for  promoting 
cashless  economy  by  facilitating  digital  transit  and  retail 
payments. The Surat Money card which is being used in 
Surat Smart City has been declared as the winner of India 
Smart Cities Awards Contest (ISAC) 2019 for achievement 
in implementing the One city, One card under the Smart 
Cities Mission. 

Apart  from  CCPS,  a  suite  of  digital  solutions  known  as 
‘ICICI Bank Smart City Solutions Suite’ has been created 
to  cater  to  the  day-to-day  requirements  of  a  Smart  City. 
These  include  assistance  in  tax  collection,  bill  payment 
of  utilities,  assistance  in  municipal  bonds  issuance, 
comprehensive  project  and  payment  management 
solution for live project updates and just-in-time payments 
to  vendors  or  contractors,  funds  monitoring  on  PFMS 
platform,  e-challan  collections,  smart  toll  collections 
on  highways  and  smart  parking  spaces,  besides  other 
offerings  like  e-governance  solutions,  digital  property 
tagging  and  many  more  smart  solutions  leveraging  the 
Bank’s  digital  capabilities  and  expertise.  ICICI  Bank’s 
efforts  at  some  of  the  Smart  Cities  Mission  are  helping 
scale up digital transactions and fostering competitiveness 
and benchmarking across smart cities.

A  digital  platform  has  been  developed  by  the  Bank 
for  government  departments  and  institutions,  which 
provides  a  wide  range  of  e-governance  solutions. 
The  platform  includes  activities  like  payments,  project 
management,  budget  management,  limit  assignment 
and control, dashboard, reports and analytics, and online 
reconciliation  of  transactions.  It  facilitates  hierarchical 
mode of disbursements, expenditure head wise payment 
and tracking to the end beneficiaries depending on various 
models.

ICICI  Bank  aims  to  conduct  its  business  responsibly 
with  prudent  use  of  resources.  Even  as  the  Bank 
expanded  its  network  and  people  during  fiscal  2020, 
adoption  of  sustainability  principles  and  benchmarks 
at  the  new  premises  was  ensured  with  steady  gains 
in  efficiency.  The  Bank  follows  responsible  financing 
practices  by  promoting  environment-friendly  sectors 
and  has  laid  emphasis  on  environmental  and  social 
risk management objectives as a part of financing. The 
focus  on  encouraging  customers  to  transact  digitally 
and creating a positive impact on the environment was 
deepened further through the launch of a series of digital

SUSTAINABLE FINANCING

Responsible financing is an important focus for the Bank, 
governed  by  prudent  risk  management  practices.  The 
Bank has in place a social and environmental management 
framework  that  integrates  analysis  of  the  environmental 
and social risk assessment into the overall credit appraisal 
process. The framework is applicable for all new financing 
proposals  above  a  specific  threshold.  The  key  elements 
of  the  assessment  include  an  exclusion  list,  seeking  a 
declaration from borrowers of compliance with applicable 
national  environmental  guidelines  and  approvals  for 
qualifying proposals subject to threshold criteria defined 
in  the  framework,  and  due  diligence  by  a  Lender’s 
Independent  Engineer  (LIE)  for  large-ticket  project  loans 
identified as per the criteria defined in the framework.

The  Bank’s  lending  to  environment-friendly  sectors  are 
based  on  appropriate  assessment  of  risks  and  returns. 
The  Bank  has  actively  financed  projects  for  capacity 
creation  in  environment-friendly  sectors.  This  includes 
renewable  energy  sectors  like  solar,  wind  and  hydro 
power and other sustainable sectors like waste processing 
and  mass  rapid  transport.  The  Bank’s  outstanding 

Annual Report 2019-20 portfolio to the renewable energy sectors stood at about  
`29.00  billion  at  March  31,  2020.  The  Bank  had  availed 
lines of credit from select multilateral agencies towards 
financing  green  or  sustainable  assets.  The  assets 
financed  under  these  lines  include  financing  for  wind, 
solar,  biomass  plants  and  energy  efficiency  projects.  
At March 31, 2020, the outstanding lending by the Bank 
for such specific purposes was USD 96.9 million.

An internal team within the Bank is dedicated to providing 
financial assistance to initiatives that promote biodiversity, 
environmental  sustainability  and  initiatives  in  education, 
health,  sanitation  and  livelihoods.  The  team’s  mandate 
is  to  administer  funding  lines  received  from  bilateral,

Annual Report 2019-20 Efficient Energy Management

The  Bank  promotes  use  of  renewable  energy  sources 
wherever  feasible.  During  fiscal  2020,  1.7  MWp  of 
renewable energy capacity was added, taking the total 
onsite  capacity  to  2.8  MWp  at  March  31,  2020.  The 
Bank  also  added  1.0  MWp  of  on-site  solar  capacity  at 
the  Disaster  Recovery  Centre.  The  total  utilisation  of 
renewable  energy  in  the  Bank’s  energy  consumption 
increased  by  3.2%  during  fiscal  2020  and  accounted 
for  7.4%  of  total  energy  consumption  during  the  year. 
The full impact of the new renewable energy facilities is 
expected to be realised in the next year.  

Under  the  open  access  mechanism  for  power  sourcing, 
the  Bank  has  signed  power  purchase  agreements  (PPA) 
for solar and wind energy purchase for three of its large 
offices.  The  total  contracted  capacity  is  9  MWp.  These 
offices  have  been  using  renewable  energy  since  fiscal 
2016 and 50% of the energy requirement at these offices 
are met through renewable energy.

While electricity consumption in absolute terms increased 
during fiscal 2020, driven by the expansion in the physical 
network and staff strength, the consumption was lower on 
a per unit basis due to efficiency measures adopted. Per 
capita  consumption  of  electricity  declined  by  11%  while 
energy use per square feet was lower by 2% on a year-on-
year  basis.  Some  important  energy  efficiency  measures 
deployed included:

• Indirect/Direct  adiabatic  cooling  system  at  the  Bank’s 
data recovery centre was commissioned which has led 
to  improvement  in  the  Power  Utilisation  Effectiveness, 
an  indicator  of  data  centre  infrastructure  efficiency,  by 
20%

• Detailed  energy  audit  of  the  ICICI  BKC  Service  Centre  
(Corporate  Office)  in  Mumbai  and  the  large  office  at 
Hyderabad,  and  measures  adopted  subsequently  have 
led to savings in electricity consumption

• UPS  capacity  optimisation  at  large  offices  to  reduce 
the capacity by at least 40%. New-age Integrated Gate 
Bipolar  Transistor  (IGBT)  based  Modular  UPS  with 
efficiency of more than 95% were deployed at sites

• Lithium  Ion  battery  storage  system  deployed  at  two 
branches which would enhance reliability and improve 
energy efficiency

• At 492 branches and 200 ATMs, old and inefficient air-
conditioning  systems  were  replaced  delivering  more 
than 25% savings in energy

Water Savings

Water  consumption  per  day  in  the  16  large  offices  of 
the  Bank  was  25%  lower  than  the  benchmark  of  45 
litres  per  person  per  day  as  per  the  Bureau  of  Indian 
Standards  for  large  offices.  The  Bank  has  undertaken 
various initiatives to conserve water. The Bank recycles 
and reuses waste water at three large offices including 
the  ICICI  Service  Centre  (Corporate  Office)  at  Bandra 
Kurla  Complex,  Mumbai.  All  new  offices  and  branches 
opened during the year were fitted with water-efficient 
plumbing  fixtures.  Rain  water  harvesting  is  being

Expanding  the  digital  advantages  to  customers  and  in 
the  Bank's  processes  were  an  ongoing  effort  through 
fiscal  2020.  The  Bank  believes 
that  encouraging 
customers  to  adopt  digital  practices  not  only  helps  in 
improving  efficiency  and  reducing  servicing  time,  but 
also  creates  a  positive  impact  on  the  environment. 
During  the  year,  a  range  of  insta-lending  products 
were  offered 
to  customers  which  are  digitally 
processed  end-to-end.  There  were  significant  efforts 
towards  simplifying  processes  and  reducing  physical 
movement  of  documents.  A  significant  portion  of 
the  Bank’s  operations  today  are  paperless.  The  Bank 
procures  environment-friendly  copier  paper  which  is 
manufactured from wheat straw, which is an agricultural 
residue. The Bank is reviewing its systems and process 
for tracking and optimising paper consumption.

contribution  towards  maintaining 
ecological  balance,  ICICI  Service 
Centre  in  Bandra-Kurla  Complex, 
its registered office in Vadodara, its 
state-of-the-art data centre as well

retain their capacity to support the economy and absorb losses in an environment of heightened uncertainty caused by 
Covid-19. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has not recommended any dividend for fiscal 2020 and has appropriated the 
disposable profit as follows:

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsThe Bank prepares its financial statements in accordance 
with  the  applicable  accounting  standards,  RBI  guidelines 
and other applicable laws/regulations. RBI, under its risk-
based supervision exercise, carries out the risk assessment 
of  the  Bank  on  an  annual  basis.  This  assessment  is 
initiated  subsequent  to  the  finalisation,  completion  of 
audit  and  publication  of  audited  financial  statements  for 
a  financial  year  and  typically  occurs  a  few  months  after 
the  financial  year-end.  As  a  part  of  this  assessment,  RBI 
separately  reviews  asset  classification  and  provisioning 
of  credit  facilities  given  by  the  Bank  to  its  borrowers. 
The  divergences,  if  any,  in  classification  or  provisioning 
arising out of the supervisory process are given effect to 
in  the  financial  statements  in  subsequent  periods  after 
conclusion of the exercise. 

In  terms  of  the  RBI  circular  no.  //DBR.BP.BC.
No.32/21.04.018/2018-19  dated  April  1,  2019,  banks  are 
required to disclose the divergences in asset classification 
and provisioning consequent to RBI’s annual supervisory 
process  in  their  notes  to  accounts  to  the  financial 
statements, wherever either (a) the additional provisioning 
requirements assessed by RBI exceed 10% of the reported 
net profits before provisions and contingencies or (b) the 
additional  gross  NPAs  identified  by  RBI  exceed  15%  of 
the  published  incremental  gross  NPAs  for  the  reference 
period, or both. Based on the condition mentioned in RBI 
circular, no disclosure on divergence in asset classification 
and provisioning for NPAs is required with respect to RBI’s 
supervisory process for fiscal 2019.

SHARE CAPITAL
During the year under review, the Bank allotted 26,525,550 
equity  shares  of  `  2.00  each  pursuant  to  exercise  of  
stock  options  under 
the  Employee  Stock  Option  
Scheme.  For  details  refer  to  Schedule  1  of  the  financial 
statements. 

PARTICULARS OF LOANS, GUARANTEES OR 
INVESTMENTS

2013,  the  provisions  of  Section  186  of  the  Companies 
Act,  2013,  except  sub-section  (1),  do  not  apply  to  a

DIRECTORS’ REPORTAnnual Report 2019-20 UPDATE ON COVID-19
Since the first quarter of Calendar Year 2020, the Covid-19 
pandemic  has  impacted  most  countries,  including  India. 
This  resulted  in  countries  announcing  lockdown  and 
quarantine  measures  that  sharply  stalled  economic 
activity.  Several  countries  took  unprecedented  fiscal  and 
monetary actions to help alleviate the impact of the crisis. 
The Government of India initiated a nation-wide lockdown 
from March 25, 2020 for three weeks which was extended 
to  May  31,  2020.  Government  of  India  has  announced 
various  measures  to  support  the  economy  during  this 
period. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also announced 
several  measures  to  ease  the  financial  system  stress, 
including  enhancing  system  liquidity,  reducing  interest 
rates,  moratorium  on  loan  repayments  for  borrowers, 
asset classification standstill benefit to overdue accounts 
where  a  moratorium  has  been  granted  and  relaxation  in 
liquidity coverage requirement, among others.

Banking was categorised as an essential service to enable 
customers to meet their requirements to the extent possible 
in  the  physical  space  as  well  as  through  digital  channels. 
In  these  challenging  times,  the  Bank’s  employees  have 
shown strong resilience and the ability to adapt to changing 
circumstances. The health and well-being of employees and 
customers and business continuity is of utmost importance 
to  the  Bank.  The  Bank  formed  a  quick  response  team  to 
take  steps  to  protect  the  health  of  the  employees  and 
provide essential services to the customers. About 97% of 
the branches were functional with reduced working hours 
during  the  lockdown.  The  branches  were  staffed  based 
on  the  customer  footfalls  and  employees  were  rostered. 
Excluding  the  employees  working  at  the  branches  and 
some  of  the  team  members  from  Operations  and  IT,  the 
majority of the employees were working from home during 
the  lockdown  period  and  continue  to  do  so.  The  Bank 
continues to do a thorough risk assessment for augmenting 
IT security controls and curb any gaps and potential threats 
in  the  current  working  arrangement.  ATMs  across  the 
country  remain  operational  at  all  times  with  an  average 
uptime of about 98%. The Bank also deployed mobile ATM 
vans  for  the  benefit  of  the  general  public  residing  in  and 
around the containment zones. 

in  this  challenging  time,  the  Bank 

Even 
is  seeing 
opportunities  to  grow  and  strengthen  its  franchise  and  it 
is using these opportunities to further accelerate the digital 
journey of the Bank and its customers. In March 2020, the 
Bank  launched  a  comprehensive  digital  banking  platform 
called  ICICI  STACK  which  offers  nearly  500  services  to 
ensure uninterrupted banking experience to retail, business 

banking,  SME  and  corporate  customers.  Many  of  these 
services are first-in-the industry and are available instantly 
on  the  Bank’s  mobile  banking  platforms  such  as  iMobile 
and InstaBIZ or the internet banking platform. These include 
digital account opening, instant loans, payment solutions, 
investments and health and term insurance. Small business 
customers can also use the APIs from the recently launched 
API  Banking  Portal  to  integrate  various  payment  and 
product solutions. The Bank is seeing increased utilisation 
of its digital channels and platforms by its customers and 
has  ensured  that  the  IT  infrastructure  is  able  to  handle 
any  unexpected  surge  in  digital  transactions.  The  Bank 
continues to monitor the situation in the country and would 
take  necessary  steps  to  ensure  safety  of  its  people  and 
continuity of its business operations. 

In  its  effort  to  support  the  nation  in  its  fight  against  the 
Covid-19  outbreak,  the  ICICI  Group  has  committed  a 
sum of ` 1.00 billion, including ` 800.0 million to the PM 
Cares Fund. ICICI Bank and ICICI Foundation have worked 
actively to assist various agencies including hospitals, the 
police, paramilitary forces, municipalities and government 
bodies in their tireless efforts to safeguard the citizens of 
the country. 

The Indian economy would be impacted by this pandemic 
with  contraction  in  industrial  and  services  output  across 
small  and  large  businesses.  The  banking  system  is 
expected  to  be  impacted  by  lower  lending  opportunities 
and revenues in the short to medium term and an increase 
in credit costs. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on 
Bank’s  results  remains  uncertain  and  dependent  on  the 
spread of Covid-19, further steps taken by the government 
and  the  central  bank  to  mitigate  the  economic  impact, 
steps taken by the Bank and the time it takes for economic 
activities  to  resume  at  normal  levels.  The  Bank’s  capital 
and liquidity position are strong and would continue to be 
the focus area for the Bank.

MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENT 
AFFECTING FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE 
BANK
There are no material changes and commitments, affecting 
the  financial  position  of  the  Bank  which  have  occurred 
between the end of the financial year of the Bank to which 
the financial statements relate and the date of this Report. 
For the impact of Covid-19 on the performance of the Bank 
and the Group, refer “note no. 57 of schedule 18 – Notes 
forming  part  of  the  accounts”  of  financial  statements  of 
the Bank and “note no. 18 of schedule 18 – Notes forming

RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
The  Bank’s  risk  management  framework  is  based  on 
a  clear  understanding  of  various  risks,  disciplined  risk 
assessment and measurement procedures and continuous 
monitoring.  The  Board  of  Directors  has  oversight  on  all 
the risks assumed by the Bank. Specific Committees have 
been constituted to facilitate focused oversight of various 
risks, as follows:

 The  Risk  Committee  of  the  Board  reviews  risk 
management policies of the Bank pertaining to credit, 
market,  liquidity,  operational  and  outsourcing  risks 
and business continuity management. The Committee 
also  reviews  the  Risk  Appetite  and  Enterprise  Risk 
Management  frameworks,  Internal  Capital  Adequacy 
Assessment Process (ICAAP) and stress testing. The 
stress  testing  framework  includes  a  range  of  Bank-
specific,  market  (systemic)  and  combined  scenarios. 
The ICAAP exercise covers the domestic and overseas 
operations  of  the  Bank,  banking  subsidiaries  and 
non-banking  subsidiaries.  The  Committee  reviews 
setting  up  of  limits  on  any  industry  or  country, 
migration  to  the  advanced  approaches  under  Basel 
II  and  implementation  of  Basel  III  and  the  activities 
of 
the  Asset  Liability  Management  Committee.

major  risks  pertaining  to  credit,  market,  liquidity, 
information

security,  compliance,  group  and  capital  at  risk  as  a 
part of the risk dashboard. In addition, the Committee

Policy/Criteria for Directors’ Appointment 

The  Bank  with  the  approval  of  its  Board  Governance, 
Remuneration  &  Nomination  Committee  (Committee) 
has  put  in  place  a  policy  on  Directors’  appointment 
and  remuneration 
including  criteria  for  determining 
qualifications,  positive  attributes  and  independence  of  a 
Director as well as a policy on Board diversity. The policy 
has been framed based on the broad principles as outlined 
hereinafter. The Committee evaluates the composition of 
the Board and vacancies arising in the Board from time to 
time. The Committee while recommending candidature of 
a  Director  considers  the  special  knowledge  or  expertise 
possessed by the candidate as required under the Banking 
Regulation Act, 1949. The Committee assesses the fit and 
proper  credentials  of  the  candidate  and  the  companies/
entities with which the candidate is associated either as a 
director or otherwise and as to whether such association 
is permissible under RBI guidelines and the internal norms 
adopted  by  the  Bank.  For  the  above  assessment,  the 
Committee  is  guided  by  the  guidelines  issued  by  RBI  in 
this regard.

The Committee also evaluates the prospective candidate 
for  the  position  of  a  Director  from  the  perspective  of 
the  criteria  for 
independence  prescribed  under  the 
Companies  Act,  2013  as  well  as  the  Securities  and 
Exchange  Board  of 
(Listing  Obligations  and 
Disclosure  Requirements)  Regulations,  2015.  For  a  non-
executive Director to be classified as independent he/she 
must  satisfy  the  criteria  of  independence  as  prescribed 
and  sign  a  declaration  of  independence.  The  Committee 
reviews  the  same  and  determine  the  independence  of  
a Director.

India 

The Committee based on the above assessments makes 
suitable 
the  appointment  of 
Directors to the Board.

RBI  guidelines.  The  remuneration  for  the  non-executive/
Independent Directors (other than Government Nominee 
Director) would be sitting fee for attending each Meeting

Performance evaluation of the Board, Committees 
and Directors

The  Bank  with  the  approval  of  its  Board  Governance, 
Remuneration & Nomination Committee has put in place 
an  evaluation  framework  for  evaluation  of  the  Board, 
Directors, Chairperson and Committees.

The evaluations for the Directors, the Board, Chairperson 
of  the  Board  and  the  Committees  is  carried  out  through 
circulation  of 
four  different  questionnaires,  for  the 
Directors, for the Board, for the Chairperson of the Board 
and  the  Committees  respectively.  The  performance 
of  the  Board  is  assessed  on  select  parameters  related 
to  roles,  responsibilities  and  obligations  of  the  Board, 
relevance  of  Board  discussions,  attention  to  strategic 
issues,  performance  on  key  areas,  providing  feedback 
to  executive  management  and  assessing  the  quality, 
quantity and timeliness of flow of information between the 
Company  management  and  the  Board  that  is  necessary 
for the Board to effectively and reasonably perform their 
duties.  The  evaluation  criteria  for  the  Directors  is  based 
on their participation, contribution and offering guidance 
to  and  understanding  of  the  areas  which  were  relevant 
to  them  in  their  capacity  as  members  of  the  Board. 
The  evaluation  criteria  for  the  Chairperson  of  the  Board 
besides the general criteria adopted for assessment of all 
Directors,  focuses  incrementally  on  leadership  abilities, 
effective  management  of  meetings  and  preservation 
of 
interest  of  stakeholders.  The  evaluation  of  the 
Committees  is  based  on  assessment  of  the  clarity  with 
which the mandate of the Committee is defined, effective 
discharge  of  terms  and  reference  of  the  Committees 
and  assessment  of  effectiveness  of  contribution  of  the 
Committee’s  deliberation/recommendations 
the 
functioning/decisions  of  the  Board.  The  Bank  has  taken 
effective  steps  with  regards  to  the  action  points  arising 
out of performance evaluation process for fiscal 2019. The 
overall  performance  evaluation  process  for  fiscal  2020 
was completed to the satisfaction of the Board. The Board 
of  Directors  also  identified  specific  action  points  arising 
out of the overall evaluation which would be executed as 
directed by the Board.

stock  option  scheme  aimed  at  aligning 
compensation  to  long  term  performance

 Every  year, 
formulated in conjunction with a risk framework 
with limit structures for various areas of risk/lines 
of business, within which the Bank operates. To 
ensure  effective  alignment  of  compensation 
with  prudent  risk  taking,  the  BGRNC  takes 
into  account  adherence  to  the  risk  framework 
in  conjunction  with  which  the  financial  plan/
targets  have  been  formulated.  KPIs  of  WTDs 
and equivalent positions, as well as employees, 
incorporate  relevant  risk  management  related 
aspects. For example, in addition to performance 
targets  in  areas  such  as  risk  calibrated  core 
operating profit, performance indicators include 
aspects  such  as  asset  quality.  The  BGRNC

 The  quantum  of  bonus  for  an  employee  does 
not  exceed  a  certain  percentage  (as  stipulated 
in the compensation policy) of the total fixed pay 
in a year. Within this percentage, if the quantum 
of  bonus  exceeds  a  predefined 
threshold 
percentage  of  the  total  fixed  pay,  a  part  of  the 
bonus  is  deferred  and  paid  over  a  period. 
These thresholds for deferrals are same across 
employees.

 Discussion of the Bank’s policy and criteria for 
adjusting deferred remuneration before vesting 
and (if permitted by national law) after vesting 
through claw back arrangements

 The  deferred  portion  of  variable  pay  is  subject 
to malus, under which the Bank would prevent 
vesting  of  all  or  part  of  the  variable  pay  in 
the  event  of  an  enquiry  determining  gross 
negligence,  breach  of  integrity  or  in  the  event 
of  a  reasonable  evidence  of  deterioration  in 
financial  performance.  In  such  cases,  variable 
pay  already  paid  out  may  also  be  subjected  to 
clawback arrangements, as applicable.

 Description  of  the  different  forms  of 
variable  remuneration  that  the  Bank 
utilises  and  the  rationale  for  using  these 
different forms

 Overview of the forms of variable remuneration 
offered.  A  discussion  of  the  use  of  different 
forms of variable remuneration and, if the mix of 
different forms of variable remuneration differs 
across  employees  or  group  of  employees,  a 
description  of  the  factors  that  determine  the 
mix and their relative importance

 The Bank pays performance linked retention pay 
(PLRP) to its front-line staff and junior management 
and performance bonus to its middle and senior 
management.  PLRP  aims  to  reward  front  line 
and  junior  managers,  mainly  on  the  basis  of 
skill  maturity  attained  through  experience  and 
continuity in role which is a key differentiator for 
customer  service.  The  Bank  also  pays  variable 
pay  to  sales  officers  and  relationship  managers 
in wealth management roles while ensuring that 
such pay-outs are in accordance with applicable 
regulatory requirements. 

 The Bank ensures higher proportion of variable 
pay  at  senior  levels  and  lower  variable  pay  for 
front-line staff and junior management levels.

 Outstanding GDRs/ADSs/Warrants or any Convertible 
instruments,  conversion  date  and  likely  impact  
on equity

ICICI  Bank  has  619.62  million  ADS  (equivalent  to 
1,239.24  million  equity  shares)  outstanding,  which 
constituted 19.15% of ICICI Bank’s total equity capital 
at  March  31,  2020.  There  are  no  other  convertible 
instruments outstanding as on March 31, 2020.

 Commodity price risk or foreign exchange risk and 
hedging activities

The  foreign  exchange  risk  position  including  bullion 
is  managed  within  the  net  overnight  open  position 
(NOOP)  limit  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  The 
foreign currency assets of the Bank are primarily floating 
rate linked assets. Wholesale liability raising for foreign 
currencies  takes  place  in  USD  or  other  currencies 
through bond issuances, bilateral loans and syndicated/
club  loans  as  well  as  refinance  from  Export  Credit 
Agencies (ECA) which may be at a fixed rate or floating 
rate  linked.  In  case  of  fixed  rate  long-term  wholesale 
fund  raising  in  USD,  the  interest  rate  risk  is  generally 
hedged  through  interest  rate  swaps  wherein  the  Bank 
effectively moves the interest payments to a floating rate 
index in order to match the asset profile. In case of fund 
raising in non-USD currencies, the foreign exchange risk 
is hedged through foreign exchange swaps or currency 
interest rate swaps.

The extant RBI guidelines do not allow AD Category I 
Banks  to  take  any  market  positions  in  commodity 
related  activities.  However,  the  extant  guidelines 
allows Bank to import gold and silver in line with the 
RBI  license  and  selling  of  imported  gold/silver  on 
outright  basis  to  domestic  clients  or  providing  gold 
metal loan to jewellery manufacturers and take gold 
deposits under the Gold Monetisation scheme. ICICI 
Bank  provides  pricing  and  hedging  of  Gold  Metal 
Loan to jewellery customers and such exposures are 
covered on a back-to-back basis with gold suppliers.

conditions  of  Corporate  Governance  as  stipulated  in  the

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION SCHEME 
 The Bank has an Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS/
Scheme)  which  was  instituted  in  fiscal  2000  to  enable 
the  employees  and  wholetime  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 

82

DIRECTORS’ REPORTAnnual Report 2019-20  
 
 
 
 
 
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. 
The  Scheme  is  in  compliance  with  the  Securities  and 
Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) 
Regulations,  2014  (the  SEBI  Regulations).  Pursuant  to 
the  SEBI  Regulations,  options  are  granted  by  the  Board 
Governance,  Remuneration  &  Nomination  Committee 
(BGRNC) and noted by the Board. 

 The  Scheme  was  initially  approved  by  the  Members  at 
their  meeting  held  on  February  21,  2000  and  amended 
from time to time. 

 The Bank has upto March 31, 2020 granted 534.12 million 
stock options from time to time aggregating to 8.25% of 
the  issued  equity  capital  of  the  Bank  at  March  31,  2020. 
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 options granted to employees is limited to 10% of 
ICICI Bank’s issued equity shares on the date of the grant 
(equivalent  to  647.28  million  shares  of  face  value `  2.00 
each at March 31, 2020).

 Particulars of options granted by ICICI Bank as on March 31, 2020 are given below: 

Number of options outstanding at the beginning of the year

Number of options granted during the year

May-2018.

2   Excludes options pertaining to wholetime Directors of subsidiary company pending for regulatory approval.

 The  Bank  follows  the  intrinsic  value  method  to  account 
for  its  stock-based  employee  compensation  plans.  The 
diluted  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  pursuant  to  issue  of 
shares  on  exercise  of  options  calculated  in  accordance 
with Accounting Standard 20 (AS-20) was ` 12.08 in fiscal 
2020 compared to basic EPS of ` 12.28. Based on intrinsic 
value  of  options,  no  compensation  cost  was  recognised 
during the year ended March 31, 2020 (year ended March 
31, 2019: Nil). If the Bank had used the fair value of options 
based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the 
year  ended  March  31,  2020  would  have  been  higher  by 
`  3,826.2  million  (year  ended  March  31,  2019:  `  3,179.0 
million)  and  proforma  profit  after  tax  would  have  been  
` 75,481.9 million (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 30,454.0 
million). On a proforma basis, the Bank’s basic and diluted 
earnings per share would have been ` 11.68 (year ended 
March  31,  2019:  `  4.73)  and  `  11.49  (year  ended  March 
31,  2019:  `  4.68)  respectively  for  the  year  ended  March 
31, 2020. 

 The weighted average fair value of options granted during 
the year ended March 31, 2020 was ` 149.62 (year ended 
March  31,  2019:  `  107.22)  and  the  weighted  average 

exercise  price  of  options  granted  during  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2020 was ` 402.16 (year ended March 31, 2019: 
` 283.91).

 The  following  table  sets  forth,  for  the  periods  indicated, 
the  key  assumptions  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of 
options granted.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION POLICY

1. 

Introduction

 ICICI  Bank  Limited  (the  Bank  or  ICICI  Bank)  is  a 
public  company  incorporated  under  the  Companies 
Act, 1956 and licensed as a bank under the Banking 
Regulation  Act,  1949.  The  Bank  has  been  making 
annual  profits  since  inception  and  has  been  paying 
equity  share  dividends  in  accordance  with  the 
guidelines of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Securities 
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Companies Act, 
1956,  Companies  Act,  2013  and  Banking  Regulation 
Act, 1949.

 This  policy  documents  the  guidelines  on  payment 
of  dividends,  and  sets  out  the  key  considerations 
for  arriving  at  the  dividend  payment  decision.  The 
Board will have the flexibility to determine the level of 
dividend based on the considerations laid out in the 
policy and other relevant developments.

2.  Regulatory framework

 The Bank while proposing equity share dividend will 
ensure  compliance  with  the  RBI  guidelines  relating 
to  declaration  of  dividend,  capital  conservation 
requirements  under  guidelines  on  Basel  III  norms 
issued by RBI, provisions of the Banking Regulation 
Act,  1949,  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Board  of 
India  (SEBI)  (Listing  Obligations  and  Disclosure 
Requirements)  Regulations,  2015,  provisions  of 
the  Companies  Act,  2013  and  guidelines  provided 
under the section titled “Dividends” in the Articles of 
Association (AOA) of the Bank.

3.  Approval process

 The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Bank  would  take  into 
account the following aspects while deciding on the 
proposal for dividend:

a)  profitability and key financial metrics;

e) 

 the  Bank’s  capital  position  and  requirements 
as  per  Internal  Capital  Adequacy  Assessment 
Process  (ICAAP)  projections  and  regulatory 
norms; and

f) 

the applicable regulatory requirements

 The  dividend  decision  would  be  subject 
to 
consideration of any other relevant factors, including, 
for example:

• 

• 

 External factors including state of the domestic 
and  global  economy,  capital  market  conditions 
and dividend policy of competitors;

 Tax implications including applicability and rate 
of dividend distribution tax;

• 

Shareholder expectations

 The decision regarding dividend shall be taken only

6. 

 Circumstances under which the shareholders 
may or may not expect dividend

 The Board of the Bank may vary the level of dividend 
or  not  recommend  any  dividend  based  on  the 
regulatory  eligibility  criteria  for  recommendation 
of  dividend,  including  any  regulatory  restriction 
placed  on  the  Bank  on  declaration  of  dividend. 
There  may  also  be  obligations  that  the  Bank  could 
have  undertaken  under  the  terms  of  perpetual 
non-  cumulative  preference  shares  or  debt  capital 
instruments pursuant to applicable regulations which 
might  prohibit  the  Bank  from  declaring  dividend  in 
certain circumstances.

 The Board of the Bank may vary the level of dividend 
or not recommend any dividend based on the capital 
and  reserves  position  of  the  Bank.  The  Board  may 
recommend lower or no dividends if it is of the view 
that there is a need to conserve capital. The Board may 
recommend  higher  dividends,  subject  to  applicable 
regulations,  if  the  capital  and  reserves  position 
supports a higher distribution to the shareholders.

7.  Review

 The dividend policy of the Bank would be reviewed 
annually,  or  earlier  if  material  changes  take  place  in 
the applicable regulations.

 Corporate  Social  Responsibility  (CSR)  has  been  a 
long-standing commitment at ICICI Bank. The Bank’s 
contribution  to  social  sector  development  includes 
several pioneering interventions and is implemented 
through  the  involvement  of  stakeholders  within 
the  Bank  and  through  the  broader  community.  The 
Bank  established  the  ICICI  Foundation  for  Inclusive 
Growth  (ICICI  Foundation)  in  2008  with  a  view  to 
significantly expand the activities in the area of CSR. 
Over  the  years,  ICICI  Foundation  has  developed 
projects  in  specific  areas,  particularly  in  the  area  of 
skill development, and has built capabilities for direct 
project  implementation  as  opposed  to  extending 
financial support to other organisations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Growth 

India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 4.2% during 
fiscal 2020, compared to growth of 6.1% during fiscal 2019. 
Investments as measured by gross fixed capital formation 
declined by 2.8% during fiscal 2020 compared to a growth 
of 9.8% during fiscal 2019 and private final consumption 
expenditure  growth  moderated  to  5.3%  in  fiscal  2020 
compared to a growth of 7.2% in fiscal 2019. On a gross 
value  added  basis,  the  agriculture  sector  grew  by  4.0% 
in  fiscal  2020  compared  to  2.4%  in  fiscal  2019,  industry 
by  0.9%  in  fiscal  2020  compared  to  4.9%  in  fiscal  2019 
and the services sector by 5.5% in fiscal 2020 compared 
to  7.7%  in  fiscal  2019.  During  the  year,  lead  economic 
indicators like domestic sales of commercial vehicles and 
passenger cars, freight movement, credit flow and others 
remained subdued. The Government of India announced 
a  number  of  measures  during  the  year  with  a  view  to 
support  growth  in  the  economy.  A  key  announcement 
was a reduction in the tax rate on corporates from 30% of 
profits to 22% (effective rate of 25.17% including cess and 
surcharges), for corporates not availing of any exemptions 
or incentives.

Since the first quarter of CY2020, the Covid-19 pandemic 
has impacted most of the countries, including India. This 
resulted in countries announcing lockdown and quarantine 
measures  that  sharply  stalled  economic  activity.  The 
Government  of  India  initiated  a  nation-wide  lockdown 
from March 25, 2020 for three weeks which was extended 
to  May  31,  2020.  Several  countries  including  India  have 
taken unprecedented fiscal and monetary actions to help 
alleviate the impact of the crisis. The Reserve Bank of India 
(RBI) has announced several measures to ease the financial 
system  stress,  including  enhancing  system  liquidity, 
reducing  interest  rates,  moratorium  on  loan  repayments 
for  borrowers,  asset  classification  standstill  benefit  to 
overdue accounts where a moratorium has been granted 
and  relaxation  in  liquidity  coverage  requirement,  among 
others. The government announced an economic package 
which  included  direct  benefit  transfers  to  individuals  in 
low-income  groups,  free  food-grain  distribution,  access 
to credit for small businesses with government guarantee 
and policy reforms.

Economic growth and investor and consumer confidence 
have  been  impacted  significantly  since  March  2020. 
According  to  the  International  Monetary  Fund  (IMF),  the 

118

global  economy  is  expected  to  contract  by  3.0%  during 
calendar  year  2020,  and  growth  could  improve  in  2021 
assuming the pandemic fades away in the second half of 
2020 and containment efforts can be unwound. 

Inflation 

Inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) 
increased from 2.9% in March 2019 to 4.0% in September 
2019, remaining within the policy target range. However, 
inflation  increased  during  the  latter  part  of  the  year  to  a 
high of 7.4% in December 2019 and subsequently eased 
to 5.9% in March 2020 largely driven by movement in food 
prices.  Core  inflation  (inflation  excluding  food  and  fuel) 
broadly remained moderate during the year and reduced 
from 5.0% in March 2019 to 4.1% in March 2020. 

Interest rates

Considering inflation was within the comfort levels of RBI 
in the first half of fiscal 2020, the RBI reduced the repo rate 
by 110 basis points during April-October 2019 from 6.25% 
at end-March 2019 to 5.15% at October 2019. The policy 
stance  was  changed  from  neutral  to  accommodative 
in  June  2019.  However,  the  policy  rate  was  maintained 
subsequently  till  March  2020  when  a  sharp  reduction  of 
75 basis point to 4.40% was announced as a measure to 
combat the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Financial markets

During  fiscal  2020,  the  Rupee  depreciated  by  8.9%  from 
`  69.16  per  US  dollar  at  end-March  2019  to  `  75.33  per 
US  dollar  at  end-March  2020,  with  a  sharp  depreciation 
of 3.9% in March 2020. Yields on the benchmark 10-year 
government  securities  eased  by  121  basis  points  from 
7.35%  at  end-March  2019  to  6.14%  at  end-March  2020. 
This easing of government bond yields was partly due to 
the  comfortable  systemic  liquidity  maintained  by  RBI  for 
most part of the year as a measure to support growth and 
improve flow of funds to the economy. 

Current account and fiscal position

Following moderate global crude oil prices for most part 
of fiscal 2020, India’s current account deficit came down 
from  2.1%  of  GDP  in  fiscal  2019  to  1.0%  during  9M-
2020.  During  the  year,  merchandise  exports  declined  by 
4.8%,  while  merchandise  imports  contracted  by  9.1%. 
Government  spending  was  a  key  driver  of  GDP  growth 
during 9M-2020 and the revised estimate of fiscal deficit as 
a proportion of GDP for fiscal 2020 was 3.8% as compared 

Annual Report 2019-20 to the budgeted 3.3%. The government’s fiscal position is 
likely  to  be  further  impacted  by  the  Covid-19  pandemic, 
reflecting in both revenues and expenditure. 

Banking sector trends

During  fiscal  2020,  non-food  credit  growth  remained 
muted  with  a  sharp  moderation  towards  the  end  of  the 
year  due  to  the  lockdown.  Banking  system  non-food 
credit  growth  moderated  from  13.4%  at  March  29,  2019 
to  8.6%  at  end-September  2019  and  consistently  eased 
further to end the fiscal at 6.1% at March 27, 2020. As per 
data on sector-wise deployment of credit released by RBI 
for March 27, 2020, retail loans grew by 15.7%, credit to 
services sector by 8.5%, credit to industry grew by 1.4% 
and credit to agriculture sector by 5.2%. 

Deposit  growth  was  higher  compared  to  credit  growth 
during fiscal 2020, though there was a drop in growth at 
end-March 2020. Growth in total deposits remained above 
9.0% through the year in fiscal 2020, but dropped to 7.9% 
at  March  27,  2020.  Demand  deposits  grew  by  7.0%  and 
time deposits grew by 8.1% at March 27, 2020 compared 
to growth of 10.3% in demand deposits and 10.0% in time 
deposits at March 29, 2019. 

According to RBI’s Financial Stability Report of December 
2019,  gross  non-performing  assets  (GNPA)  of  scheduled 
commercial  banks  was  at  9.3%  at  September  30,  2019, 
similar  to  the  levels  in  March  2019,  and  net  NPA  ratio 
was at 3.7%. The process of resolution of large stressed 
accounts  continued  during  the  year.  Further,  additions 
to  the  non-performing  pool  of  banks  declined  during 
the  year.  However,  challenges  continued  for  the  non-
banking financial companies (NBFCs) and housing finance 
companies  during  fiscal  2020,  with  subdued  growth  and 
moderation in available market funding. Several measures 
were  announced  by  the  government  and  the  RBI  to 
enhance  availability  of  funds  to  the  sector  in  terms  of 
additional liquidity support and partial credit enhancement. 
However, a large housing finance company defaulted on its 
repayments during the year. In March 2020, RBI imposed a 
moratorium restricting deposit withdrawals from a private 
sector  bank,  followed  by  implementation  of  a  scheme 
of  reconstruction  involving  change  in  management  and 
equity capital infusion by several Indian banks, including 
us.  A  private  sector  bank  also  wrote  down  additional  
tier-1 bonds. 

The  government  announced  the  amalgamation  of  10 
public sector banks into four big banks. This merger was 
effective  from  April  1,  2020.  Including  the  past  mergers, 
the total count of public sector banks has come down from 
27 banks (including SBI and its associates) to 12 banks.

to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic were as follows:

 In  April  2019,  the  Supreme  Court  declared  the  RBI 
circular on revised framework for resolution of stressed 
assets  dated  February  12,  2018  as  unconstitutional. 
In  June  2019,  the  RBI  issued  revised  guidelines,  the 
Prudential  Framework  for  Resolution  of  Stressed 
Assets  by  Banks,  which  allowed  lenders  to  decide 
on  referring  an  account  for  resolution  under  the 
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code as against the earlier 
requirement of referring in the event a resolution plan 
is not implemented within stipulated timelines. It also 
requires banks to make higher provisioning in case the 
resolution  plan  is  not  implemented  within  stipulated 
timelines. The additional provisions are not required to 
be made if insolvency proceedings are initiated within 
210 days of default. 

 In  July  2019,  the  government  of  India  amended  the 
Insolvency  and  Bankruptcy  Code.  The  revised  Code 
provides  an  order  of  priority  for  the  distribution  of 
assets  in  case  of  a  liquidation,  and  gives  priority  to 
financial  creditors  ahead  of  operational  creditors. 
The  Code  also  provides  a  time-bound  process  for 
resolving insolvency. 

 In  June  2019,  the  RBI  mandated  maintenance  of 
a  minimum  leverage  ratio  of  4.0%  for  domestic 
systemically  important  banks  and  3.5%  for  other 
banks. This was effective from October 1, 2019.

 The  RBI  increased  the  risk  weights  on  unrated 
exposures to corporates and infrastructure financing 
non-banking  finance  companies  from  100.0%  to 
150.0%, where the aggregate exposure of the banking 
system exceeded ` 2.0 billion. This was effective from 
April 1, 2019.

 In  June  2019,  the  Reserve  Bank  of  India  announced 
the introduction of an electronic trading platform for 
buying/selling foreign exchange by retail customers of 
banks. The platform can be accessed by any customer 
of a bank who has a need to purchase or sell US dollar

 In  September  2019,  RBI  issued  guidelines  to  link 
all  new  floating  rate  personal  or  retail  loans  and 
floating rate loans to micro and small enterprises to 
an  external  benchmark  from  October  1,  2019.  The 
benchmarks  include  the  RBI  repo  rate,  three-month 
and  six-month  treasury  bill  yield  published  by  the 
Financial Benchmarks India Private Limited (FBIL) and 
any other benchmark market interest rate published 
by FBIL. The interest rate under external benchmark 
shall  be  reset  at  least  once  in  three  months. 
Subsequently,  all  incremental  floating  rate  loans  to 
medium enterprises were also required to be linked 
to an external benchmark from April 1, 2020.

 In  September  2019,  RBI  reduced  the  risk  weight  for 
consumer credit, including personal loans, but excluding 
credit card receivables, from 125.0% to 100.0%.

to  deduct 

 Banks  were  permitted 
the  amount 
equivalent  of  incremental  credit  disbursed  as  retail 
loans for automobiles, residential housing and loans 
to MSMEs, over and above the outstanding level of 
credit  to  these  segments  at  January  31,  2020  from 
their net demand and time liabilities for maintenance 
of the cash reserve ratio. This exemption was to be 
available  for  incremental  credit  extended  up  to  the 
fortnight ending July 31, 2020. 

 RBI extended the window for one-time restructuring 
of  standard  accounts  of  GST  registered  MSMEs 
without an asset classification downgrade that were 
in  default  as  on  January  1,  2020.  The  restructuring 
under  the  scheme  had  to  be  implemented  latest 
by  December  31,  2020  (extended  from  the  earlier 
deadline of March 31, 2020).

Since  March  27,  2020,  RBI  has  announced  a  series  of 
monetary measures aimed at combating the impact of the 
Covid-19 pandemic. The measures announced were:

than the repo rate, while the marginal standing facility 
(MSF) rate continued to be higher by 25 bps than the 
repo rate. On April 17, 2020, RBI reduced the reverse 
repo  rate  by  a  further  25  basis  points  to  3.75%  and 
further to 3.35% on May 22, 2020.

 RBI announced Targeted Long Term Repo Operations 
(TLTRO)  which  were  auction  of  targeted  long  term 
repos  of  up  to  three-years  tenor  at  a  floating  rate 
linked  to  the  repo  rate.  Liquidity  availed  by  banks 
under  the  TLTRO  had  to  be  deployed  in  investment 
grade  corporate  bonds,  commercial  paper  and 
non-convertible  debentures,  over  and  above  the 
outstanding  level  of  investments  in  these  bonds  at 
March  27,  2020.  Investments  made  by  banks  under 
this  facility  can  be  classified  as  held-to-maturity 
(HTM) even in excess of the 25.0% of total investment 
permitted to be included as part of the HTM portfolio. 
RBI subsequently also announced a second phase of 
TLTRO on April 17, 2020, wherein 50.0% of funds had 
to  be  deployed  to  microfinance  institutions  (MFIs) 
and  NBFCs.  The  distribution  of  funds  would  be  at 
least  10.0%  in  securities  issued  by  MFIs,  15.0%  to 
NBFCs  of  asset  size  below  `  5.00  billion  and  25.0% 
to NBFCs with asset size between ` 5.00 billion and  
` 50.00 billion. 

 The  cash  reserve  ratio  (CRR)  requirement  of  banks 
was  reduced  by  100  basis  points  from  4.0%  of  net 
demand and time liabilities (NDTL) to 3.0% of NDTL. 
This was effective from March 28, 2020 for a period of 
one year up to March 26, 2021.

 The  minimum  daily  CRR  balance  requirement  was 
reduced  from  90.0%  to  80.0%  effective  from  the 
fortnight  beginning  March  28,  2020  up  to  June  26, 
2020.

 The limit for borrowing overnight under the MSF by 
dipping  into  the  Statutory  Liquidity  Ratio  (SLR)  was 
raised to 3.0% of NDTL from the earlier 2.0%, up to 
June 30, 2020.

 The repo rate was reduced by 75 basis points (bps) from 
5.15% to 4.40% from March 27, 2020. The repo rate was 
further reduced by 40 bps to 4.0% from May 22, 2020

 The Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) corridor was 
widened asymmetrically to 65 basis points (bps) from 
earlier 50 bps. Accordingly, the reverse repo rate was 
reduced by 90 bps from 4.90% to 4.00% from March 
27, 2020. The reverse repo rate was thus 40 bps lower 

As  part  of  measures  to  combat  the  impact  of  the  health 
crisis  created  by  Covid-19,  RBI  announced  certain 
regulatory measures in three parts on March 27, 2020 and 
on April 17, 2020 and May 22, 2020. The measures were 
as follows:

• 

 Banks  and  other  lending  institutions  were  allowed 
to provide a moratorium on all term loans (including 
agriculture term loans, retail and crop loans). Initially

the  moratorium  was  permitted  for  three  months  on 
payment  of  instalments  falling  due  between  March 
1,  2020  to  May  31,  2020,  which  was  subsequently 
extended by another three months to August 31, 2020. 
Interest would continue to accrue on the outstanding 
portion  of  the  term  loan  during  the  moratorium 
period.  Instalments  include  principal  and/or  interest 
component,  bullet  repayments,  equated  monthly 
instalments and credit card dues. 

 Banks  and  other  lending  institutions  were  allowed 
to  defer  the  recovery  of  interest  on  working  capital 
facilities  during  the  period  March  1,  2020  to  August 
31, 2020.

 Banks  were  permitted  to  convert  the  accumulated 
interest for the deferment period, from March 1, 2020 
to August 31, 2020, on working capital facilities into a 
funded interest term loan which would be repayable 
by March 31, 2021.

 A  stand-still  in  asset  classification  for  accounts 
availing the moratorium was provided from March 1, 
2020  to  August  31,  2020.  For  all  accounts  classified 
as standard as on February 29, 2020, even if overdue, 
the  moratorium  period,  wherever  granted,  was  to 
be  excluded  by  the  lending  institutions  from  the 
number  of  days  past-due  for  the  purpose  of  asset 
classification. Similarly, in respect of working capital 
loans,  wherever  deferment  was  granted,  in  respect 
of  all  facilities  classified  as  standard,  including 
Special  Mention  Accounts,  as  on  February  29, 
2020,  were  to  be  excluded  for  the  determination  of 
out  of  order  status.  Banks  were  required  to  make 
general provisions of not less than 10.0% of the total 
outstanding  of  such  accounts,  to  be  phased  over 
two quarters starting from the quarter ended March 
31,  2020.  This  provision  could  be  made  over  two 
quarters,  at  March  31,  2020  and  June  30,  2020,  at 
minimum 5.0% per quarter. This provision could not 
be reckoned for calculating the net NPA.

 Banks  are  required  to  disclose  details  pertaining 
to  SMA/overdue  accounts  where  moratorium/
deferment  has  been  granted,  amount  where  asset 
classification benefits were extended and provisions

from  the  profits  pertaining  to  fiscal  2020.  This 
restriction  would  be  reassessed  by  RBI  after  the 
results  for  the  three  months  ended  September  30,

The government announced several measures to mitigate 
the  impact  of  the  Covid-19  crisis  which  included  a 
guarantee programme for collateral-free loans aggregating 
up to ` 3.00 trillion to MSMEs. A special liquidity facility of 
up to ` 300.00 billion was provided for NBFCs, HFCs and 
microfinance companies and liquidity infusion of ` 900.00 
billion  was  announced  for  power  distribution  companies 
through  a  central  public  sector  enterprise.  The  initiation 
of fresh insolvency proceedings was suspended for up to 
one  year  depending  upon  pandemic  situation.  Covid-19 
related  debt  would  be  excluded  from  the  definition 
of  default  for  the  purpose  of  triggering  insolvency 
proceedings.  Several  policy  reforms  were  announced 
including  introduction  of  commercial  mining  in  the  coal 
sector, increasing private investments and reforms in the 
mineral  sector,  enhancing  foreign  direct  investment  limit

projects  and  measures  for  infrastructure  and  capacity

Outlook

Economic  conditions  remain  challenging  going  forward 
considering  the  uncertainties  with  regard  to  the  impact 
of the global health crisis and the stand-still in economic 
activity.  There  has  been  a  significant  rise  in  risks  in  the 
operating  environment  along  with  lack  of  clarity  on  the 
timeline for conditions to normalise and economic activity 
to revive. The Indian economy would be impacted by this 
pandemic with contraction in industrial and services output 
across  small  and  large  businesses.  Current  estimates  of 
India’s GDP for fiscal 2021 by various agencies and analysts 
indicate  a  contraction  in  GDP  growth.  While  systemic 
liquidity is abundant, the economic weakness caused by 
the pandemic and uncertainty regarding normalisation will 
impact  banking  sector  loan  growth,  revenues,  margins, 
asset quality and credit costs.

STRATEGY

During fiscal 2020, the Bank was focused on its strategic 
objective  of  risk  calibrated  profitable  growth.  Core 
operating profit of the Bank grew by 21.5% during fiscal 
2020. The profit after tax increased from ` 33.63 billion in 
fiscal 2019 to ` 79.31 billion in fiscal 2020. The profit after 
tax in fiscal 2020 includes the impact of Covid-19 related 
provision amounting to ` 27.25 billion and the impact of 
change in tax rate, including both, the one-time additional 
charge  due  to  re-measurement  of  accumulated  deferred 
tax asset at March 31, 2019, and the tax expense at lower 
rate for fiscal 2020, of ` 13.91 billion.

The Bank made progress on increasing the granularity of its 
portfolio and enhancing the customer franchise during the 
year. Retail loans as a proportion of total loans increased 
from 60.1% at March 31, 2019 to 63.2% at March 31, 2020. 
Including  non-fund  based  outstanding,  the  proportion  of 
retail  portfolio  increased  from  46.9%  at  March  31,  2019 
to  53.3%  at  March  31,  2020.  The  Bank  continued  to 
improve the portfolio mix by lending to higher rated well-
established corporates and reduce concentration risk. The 
additions to non-performing loans remained stable during 
the  year,  while  provisions  for  fiscal  2020  were  lower  as 

122

compared  to  fiscal  2019.  The  Bank  maintained  a  healthy 
provisioning  coverage  ratio  as  well  as  a  strong  capital 
position  with  capital  adequacy  ratios  significantly  above 
regulatory requirements.

The  Bank’s long-term strategic focus  of  growing  its core 
operating profits in a risk calibrated and granular manner 
would  continue.  The  Bank  seeks  to  build  scalable  and 
resilient businesses while operating within the guardrails 
of risk management. The Bank would seek to contain its 
long-term  loan-loss  provisions  within  the  levels  set  by 
its  enterprise  risk  management  framework.  The  Bank 
would  aim  to  further  strengthen  its  liabilities  franchise. 
The Bank would leverage its extensive network with wide 
geographical  reach,  a  comprehensive  range  of  products 
and services and state-of-the-art technology for providing 
superior  customer  experience.  The  Bank 
leverages 
technology and analytics for deeper insights into customer 
needs  and  behaviour  and  making  customer  onboarding 
and transacting smooth and frictionless. The Bank would 
continue to invest in technologies to provide an edge in its 
offerings to customers.

The  Bank  has  repositioned  its  international  franchise 
to  focus  on  non-resident  Indians  for  deposits,  wealth 
and  remittances  businesses,  with  digital  and  process 
decongestion  as  a  key  enabler.  The  Bank  is  also  focused 
on  deepening  its  relationships  with  well-rated  Indian 
corporates  in  international  markets  and  multinational 
companies  present  in  international  as  well  as  domestic 
market, for maximising the India-linked trade, transaction 
banking  and 
limits 
on  exposures  including  reduction  in  current  exposure 
where  required.  The  Bank  is  also  actively  engaging  with 
sovereign  wealth  funds,  global  pension  funds  and  asset 
managers to facilitate fund flows into India. The Bank aims 
to progressively exit exposures that are not linked to India 
in a planned manner.

lending  opportunities  with  strict 

The Bank aims to be the trusted financial services provider of 
choice for its customers and deliver products and services 
that  create  value.  The  twin  principles  of  “One  Bank,  One 
RoE” emphasising the need to maximise the Bank’s share 
of the target opportunity across all products and services, 
and “Fair to Bank, Fair to Customer” emphasising the need 
to deliver fair value to customers while creating value for 
shareholders, would guide the Bank’s operations.

be  towards  maintaining  adequate  liquidity,  conservation 
of capital and robust credit monitoring. Given the Bank’s 
core operating profitability, liquidity and capital adequacy, 
the Bank believes it is well-placed to absorb the impact of 
the challenges in the environment. The Bank would look at 
further  strengthening  the  balance  sheet  as  opportunities 
arise. The Bank will closely monitor the evolving scenario 
and calibrate its business based on the assessment of risk 
and  profitability.  The  Bank  would  continue  its  focus  on

Core  operating  profit  increased  by  21.5%  from  `  220.72 
billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  268.08  billion  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  net  interest  income  by 
23.1%  and  an  increase  in  fee  income  by  14.4%,  offset, 
in  part,  by  an  increase  in  operating  expenses  by  19.5%. 
Income  from  treasury-related  activities  decreased  from  
` 13.66 billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 12.93 billion in fiscal 2020 
and  provisions  and  contingencies  decreased  by  28.5% 
from  `  196.61  billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  140.53  billion  in 
fiscal  2020.  Excluding  the  Covid-19  related  provision, 
provisions and contingencies was ` 113.28 billion in fiscal 
2020.  Profit  after  tax  increased  by  135.8%  from  `  33.63 
billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  79.31  billion  in  fiscal  2020.  The 
profit after tax in fiscal 2020 includes the impact of change 
in tax rate, including both, the one-time additional charge 
due to re-measurement of accumulated deferred tax asset 
at  March  31,  2019,  and  the  tax  expense  at  lower  rate  for 
fiscal 2020, of ` 13.91 billion.

Net  interest  income  increased  by  23.1%  from  `  270.15 
billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  332.67  billion  in  fiscal  2020 
reflecting an increase of 13.1% in the average volume of 
interest-earning assets and an increase in the net interest 
margin  by  31  basis  points  from  3.42%  in  fiscal  2019  to 
3.73% in fiscal 2020.

Fee  income  increased  by  14.4%  from  `  119.89  billion  in 
fiscal 2019 to ` 137.11 billion in fiscal 2020. Dividend from 
subsidiaries  increased  by  18.1%  from  `  10.78  billion  in 
fiscal 2019 to ` 12.73 billion in fiscal 2020.

Operating  expenses  increased  by  19.5%  from  `  180.89 
billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  216.15  billion  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  staff  cost  and  other 
administrative expenses. 

Income  from  treasury-related  activities  decreased  from  
`  13.66  billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  12.93  billion  in  fiscal 
2020. During fiscal 2019, the Bank had sold equity shares

in 

Provisions and contingencies (excluding provision for tax) 
decreased by 28.5% from ` 196.61 billion in fiscal 2019 to 
` 140.53 billion in fiscal 2020 primarily due to a decrease 
in  provision  on  advances,  offset,  in  part,  by  Covid-19 
related provision. Provision on advances decreased from 
`  168.12  billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  88.15  billion  in  fiscal 
2020  primarily  due  to  lower  ageing  provisions  on  loans 
classified as NPAs in earlier years. The provision in fiscal 
2020  included  provision  on  loans  made  from  overseas 
branches to a healthcare group based in West Asia and an 
oil trading company based in Singapore classified as NPA 
during  the  year.  The  provision  coverage  ratio  (excluding 
cumulative 
increased 
technical/prudential  write-offs) 
from 70.6% at March 31, 2019 to 75.7% at March 31, 2020.  
Further, during fiscal 2020, the Bank made Covid-19 related 
provision  of  `  27.25  billion.  The  provision  made  by  the 
Bank  is  more  than  the  requirement  under  RBI  guidelines 
dated April 17, 2020.

The  income  tax  expense  increased  from  `  4.14  billion  in 
fiscal 2019 to ` 61.17 billion in fiscal 2020. The effective tax 
rate increased from 10.9% in fiscal 2019 to 43.5% in fiscal 
2020, primarily due to the one-time additional charge due 
to  re-measurement  of  accumulated  deferred  tax  asset  at 
March 31, 2019, offset, in part, by the tax expense at lower 
rate due to change in tax rate. 

Net worth increased from ` 1,083.68 billion at March 31, 
2019 to ` 1,165.04 billion at March 31, 2020 primarily due 
to accretion to reserves from profits for the year. 

Total assets increased by 13.9% from ` 9,644.59 billion at 
March 31, 2019  to ` 10,983.65  billion at March 31, 2020. 
Total advances increased by 10.0% from ` 5,866.47 billion 
at March 31, 2019 to ` 6,452.90 billion at March 31, 2020 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  domestic  advances  by 
12.9%, offset, in part, by a decrease in overseas advances 
by 14.4%. The loan growth was impacted during the end 
of  fiscal  2020  due  to  Covid-19  pandemic.  Total  deposits

Bank at March 31, 2020 in accordance with RBI guidelines 
on  Basel  III  was  16.11%  with  a  Tier-1  capital  adequacy 
ratio  of  14.72%  as  compared  to  16.89%  with  a  Tier-1 
capital adequacy ratio of 15.09% at March 31, 2019. The 
CET-1 ratio was 13.39% at March 31, 2020 as compared to 
13.63% at March 31, 2019.

Impact of Covid-19 on the performance of  
the Bank

The  Indian  economy  would  be  impacted  by  Covid-19 
pandemic  with  contraction  in  industrial  and  services 
output  across  small  and  large  businesses.  The  Bank’s 
business  is  expected  to  be  impacted  by  lower  lending 
opportunities and revenues in the short to medium term. 
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Bank’s results, 
including credit quality and provisions, remains uncertain 
and dependent on the spread of Covid-19, further steps 
taken by the government and the central bank to mitigate 
the  economic  impact,  steps  taken  by  the  Bank  and  the 
time it takes for economic activities to resume at normal 
levels. The Bank’s capital and liquidity position is strong 
and  would  continue  to  be  the  focus  area  for  the  Bank 
during this period.

Net  interest  income  increased  by  23.1%  from  `  270.15 
billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  332.67  billion  in  fiscal  2020 
reflecting  an  increase  of  13.1%  in  the  average  volume 
of  interest-earning  assets  and  an  increase  in  net  interest 
margin by 31 basis points. 

Net interest margin increased by 31 basis points from 3.42% 
in fiscal 2019 to 3.73% in fiscal 2020. The yield on average 
interest-earning  assets  increased  by  35  basis  points  from 
8.03%  in  fiscal  2019  to  8.38%  in  fiscal  2020.  The  cost  of 
funds was 5.09% in fiscal 2020 compared to 5.10% in fiscal 
2019. The interest spread increased by 36 basis points from 
2.93% in fiscal 2019 to 3.29% in fiscal 2020. 

The net interest margin of domestic operations increased 
by 24 basis points from 3.77% in fiscal 2019 to 4.01% in 
fiscal 2020 primarily due to an increase in yield on average 
interest-earning  assets  and  a  decrease  in  cost  of  funds. 
The yield on domestic interest-earning assets increased by 

29 basis points from 8.47% in fiscal 2019 to 8.76% in fiscal 
2020  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  yield  on  advances. 
The  cost  of  domestic  funds  decreased  by  4  basis  points 
from 5.29% in fiscal 2019 to 5.25% in fiscal 2020 primarily 
due to a decrease in cost of borrowings, offset, in part, by 
an increase in cost of deposits due to a higher growth in 
retail  term  deposits  as  compared  to  current  and  savings 
account deposits.

The net interest margin of overseas branches increased by 
5 basis points from 0.30% in fiscal 2019 to 0.35% in fiscal 
2020 primarily due to a decrease in cost of funds, offset, in 
part, by a decrease in yield on interest-earning assets. The 
cost of overseas funds decreased by 25 basis points from 
3.62% in fiscal 2019 to 3.37% in fiscal 2020 primarily due 
to a decrease in cost of borrowings. The yield on overseas 
interest-earning assets decreased by 26 basis points from 
4.03% in fiscal 2019 to 3.77% in fiscal 2020 primarily due 
to a decrease in yield on advances.

The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 
35 basis points from 8.03% in fiscal 2019 to 8.38% in fiscal 
2020 primarily due to the following factors:

 The yield on domestic advances increased by 42 basis 
points  from  9.62%  in  fiscal  2019  to  10.04%  in  fiscal 
2020  primarily  due  to  re-pricing  of  existing  floating 
rate loans at higher rates and incremental lending at 
higher rates due to an increase in MCLR during fiscal 
2019. The Bank’s 1-year MCLR increased by 50 basis 
points between April 2018 and March 2019. However, 
the Bank reduced the 1-year MCLR by 65 basis points 
in phases during fiscal 2020, the full impact of which 
will be reflected in the next fiscal. 

 The yield on overseas advances decreased by 38 basis 
points from 4.41% in fiscal 2019 to 4.03% in fiscal 2020. 
The  yield  on  net  advances  was  higher  in  fiscal  2019 
primarily due to higher interest collection on NPAs. 

 The overall yield on average advances increased by 
49 basis points from 8.96% in fiscal 2019 to 9.45% in 
fiscal 2020 primarily due to an increase in proportion 
of domestic advances in total advances.

 The  yield  on  average  interest-earning  investments 
increased  by  4  basis  points  from  7.08%  in  fiscal 
2019 to 7.12% in fiscal 2020. The yield on Statutory 
Liquidity  Ratio  (SLR)  investments  decreased  by  14 
basis  points  from  7.24%  in  fiscal  2019  to  7.10%  in 
fiscal 2020 primarily due to investment in government 
securities  at  lower  yields  and  reset  of  interest  rates 
on  floating  rate  bonds  at  lower  levels.  The  yield  on 
non-SLR  investments  increased  by  63  basis  points 
from  6.56%  in  fiscal  2019  to  7.19%  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily due to an increase in yield on pass through 
certificates and an increase in average investment in

which  are  relatively  higher  yielding,  offset,  in  part, 
by  a  decrease  in  yield  on  commercial  papers  and 
certificate of deposits.

• 

 The yield on other interest-earning assets decreased 
from  3.63%  in  fiscal  2019  to  3.31%  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily  due  to  a  decrease  in  interest  on  income 
tax  refund,  an  increase  in  average  balance  with  RBI 
and  a  decrease  in  yield  on  LAF  lending  and  Rural 
Infrastructure  Development  Fund  (RIDF)  and  related 
deposits,  offset,  in  part,  by  an  increase  in  interest 
income on funding swaps.

 Interest on income tax refund decreased from ` 4.48 
billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 2.70 billion in fiscal 2020. The 
receipt, amount and timing of such income depends 
on  the  nature  and  timing  of  determinations  by  tax 
authorities  and  are  hence  neither  consistent  nor 
predictable.

The cost of funds was 5.09% in fiscal 2020 as compared to 
5.10% in fiscal 2019. 

• 

 The cost of average deposits increased from 4.87% 
fiscal  2019  to  4.96%  in  fiscal  2020  primarily  due  to 
a  decrease  in  proportion  of  average  CASA  deposits 
in  total  deposits  due  to  higher  growth  in  retail  term 
deposits,  offset,  in  part,  by  a  decrease  in  cost  of 
domestic term deposits. The average CASA deposits 
decreased  from  45.9%  of  total  average  deposits  in 
fiscal 2019 to 42.7% of total average deposits in fiscal 
2020. Average CASA deposits were 34.5% of the total 
funding (i.e., deposits and borrowings) for fiscal 2020 
as  compared  to  35.1%  for  fiscal  2019.  The  cost  of 
domestic term deposits decreased by 6 basis points 
from 6.73% in fiscal 2019 to 6.67% in fiscal 2020.

• 

 The cost of borrowings decreased by 18 basis points 
from  5.86%  in  fiscal  2019  to  5.68%  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily  due  to  a  decrease  in  interest  expense  on 
funding  swaps,  a  decrease  in  proportion  of  bond 
borrowings  which  are  relatively  higher  cost  and  a 
decrease in cost of refinance borrowings.

 The  Bank’s  interest  income,  yield  on  advances, 
net  interest  income  and  net  interest  margin  are 
likely  to  be  impacted  by  systemic  liquidity,  the 
competitive  environment,  regulatory  developments 
and  uncertainties  and  the  economic  slowdown 
due  to  the  Covid-19  pandemic.  The  timing  and 
quantum  of  recoveries  and  interest  on  income  tax  
refund is uncertain.

 RBI  amended  the  Master  direction  on  “Interest  rate 
on  advances”  through  circulars  dated  September  4, 
2019  and  February  26,  2020  and  mandated  banks 
to  link  all  new  floating  rate  personal  or  retail  loans 
(such as housing and auto loans), floating rate loans 
to  micro  and  small  enterprises  from  October  1, 
2019  and  floating  rate  loans  to  medium  enterprises 
from  April  01,  2020  to  an  external  benchmark.  The 
existing borrowers, under the above categories, have 
the  option  to  convert  to  external  benchmark  linked 
pricing  as  per  the  extant  RBI  guidelines.  Differential 
movement in the external benchmark rates vis-a-vis 
cost of funds of the Bank may impact the Bank’s net 
interest income and net interest margin.

The average volume of interest-earning assets increased 
by 13.1% from ` 7,892.29 billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 8,927.74 
billion  in  fiscal  2020.  The  increase  in  average  interest-
earning assets was primarily on account of an increase in 
average advances by ` 735.39 billion and average interest-

Average  advances  increased  by  13.7%  from  `  5,351.93 
billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  6,087.32  billion  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily due to an increase in domestic advances, offset,

Average interest-earning investments increased by 14.1% 
from ` 1,806.88 billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 2,062.09 billion 
in  fiscal  2020  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  average

from  `  733.48  billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  778.33  billion  in 
fiscal 2020 primarily due to an increase in average balance 
with RBI and call money lent, offset, in part, by a decrease 
in balance with other banks.

Average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  by  14.3% 
from ` 7,132.64 billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 8,151.76 billion 
in  fiscal  2020  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  average

Average  deposits  increased  by  21.0%  from  `  5,448.71 
billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 6,594.13 billion in fiscal 2020 due 
to an increase in average term deposits by ` 833.27 billion 
and average CASA deposits by ` 312.15 billion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISAnnual Report 2019-20 Payments to and provisions for employees

Employee  expenses  increased  by  21.5%  from  `  68.08 
billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  82.71  billion  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  employee  base,  annual 
increments  and  promotions,  provision  for  retirement 
benefit obligations due to a decrease in the discount rate 
linked to yield on government securities and an increase 
in  dearness  allowances.  The  average  staff  strength 
increased  from  84,523  for  fiscal  2019  to  97,682  for  fiscal 
2020  (number  of  employees  at  March  31,  2019:  86,763 
and at March 31, 2020: 99,319), primarily in retail and rural 
business.  The  employee  base  includes  sales  executives, 
employees on fixed term contracts and interns.

Depreciation

Depreciation on owned property increased by 21.9% from 
` 7.77 billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 9.47 billion in fiscal 2020 
primarily  due  to  higher  capitalisation  of  IT  systems  and 
software which attracts higher depreciation rates.

Other administrative expenses

Other  administrative  expenses  primarily  include  rent, 
taxes  and  lighting,  advertisements,  sales  promotion, 

repairs  and  maintenance,  direct  marketing  expenses 
and  other  expenditure.  Other  administrative  expenses 
increased  by  18.0%  from  `  105.04  billion  in  fiscal  2019 
to  `  123.97  billion  in  fiscal  2020.  The  increase  in  other 
administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase 
in retail business volumes.

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

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

Profit  from  treasury-related  activities  was  `  12.93  billion 
in  fiscal  2020  as  compared  to  `  13.66  billion  in  fiscal 
2019.  Profit  from  treasury-related  activities  in  fiscal  2020 
was primarily due to realised gain on sale of government 
securities.  Yields  on  the  benchmark  10-year  government 
securities  eased by 121 basis  points  from 7.35% at end-
March  2019  to  6.14%  at  end-March  2020.  In  fiscal  2019, 
the Bank made net gain of ` 11.10 billion on sale of equity 
shares of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited.

Provisions are made by the Bank on standard, sub-standard 
and  doubtful  assets  at  rates  prescribed  by  RBI.  Loss 
assets  and  the  unsecured  portion  of  doubtful  assets  are 
provided for/written off as required by RBI guidelines. For 
loans and advances of overseas branches, provisions are 
made as per RBI regulations or host country regulations, 
whichever  is  higher.  Provisions  on  retail  non-performing 
loans are made at the borrower level in accordance with 
the retail assets provisioning policy of the Bank, subject to 
the  minimum  provisioning  levels  prescribed  by  RBI.  The 
Bank  holds  specific  provisions  against  non-performing 
loans and advances and against certain performing loans 

and advances in accordance with RBI directions, including 
provision  on  accounts  directed  by  RBI  to  be  referred  to 
National  Company  Law  Tribunal  under  Insolvency  and 
Bankruptcy  Code,  2016  (IBC).  The  specific  provisions  on 
retail  loans  and  advances  held  by  the  Bank  are  higher 
than  the  minimum  regulatory  requirement.  In  respect  of 
non-retail loans reported as fraud to RBI and classified in 
doubtful category, the entire amount, without considering 
the  value  of  security,  is  provided  for  over  a  period  not 
exceeding four quarters starting from the quarter in which 
fraud  has  been  detected.  In  respect  of  non-retail  loans 
where  there  has  been  delay  in  reporting  the  fraud  to

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISIntegrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsRBI  or  which  are  classified  as  loss  accounts,  the  entire 
amount is provided immediately. In case of fraud in retail 
accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. The 
Bank  makes  additional  provisions  as  per  RBI  guidelines 
for the cases where viable resolution plan has not been 
implemented within the timelines prescribed by the RBI, 
from the date of default. These additional provisions are 
written-back on satisfying the conditions for reversal as 
per RBI guidelines.

Provision  for  investments  increased  from  `  3.56  billion  
in  fiscal  2019  to  `  13.11  billion  in  fiscal  2020  primarily  
due  to  an  increase  in  provision  on  preference  shares,  
equity  shares  and  debentures.  During  fiscal  2020,  the 
Bank  made  provision  of  `  8.45  billion  towards  preference  
shares  on  conversion  of  non-performing  loans  of  a  
borrower  as  part  of  restructuring.  The  Bank  was  already  
holding  this  provision  on  the  loan  before  conversion  to  
preference shares.

Provision  on 
restructured/
loans  and  advances 
rescheduled  is  made  in  accordance  with  the  applicable 
RBI  guidelines  on  restructuring  of  loans  and  advances 
by banks. In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, 
the Bank maintains a general provision on standard loans 
and  advances  at  rates  prescribed  by  RBI.  For  standard 
loans  and  advances  in  overseas  branches,  the  general 
provision is made at the higher of host country regulatory 
requirements  and  RBI  requirements.  The  Bank  also 
makes  additional  general  provision  on  loans  to  specific 
borrowers in specific stressed sectors. The Bank makes 
floating provision as per a Board approved policy, which 
is in addition to the specific and general provisions made 
by  the  Bank.  The  floating  provision  can  be  utilised  with 
the approval of the Board and RBI. 

Provisions  and  contingencies  (excluding  provisions  for 
tax)  decreased  from  `  196.61  billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  
` 140.53 billion in fiscal 2020 primarily due to a decrease 
in  provision  on  non-performing  and  other  assets,  offset, 
in part, by Covid-19 related provision and an increase in 
provision for investments. 

Provision for non-performing and other assets decreased 
from  `  168.12  billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  88.15  billion  in 
fiscal  2020.  Provisions  reduced  in  fiscal  2020  primarily 
due  to  lower  ageing  provisions  on  loans  classified  as 
NPAs  in  earlier  years  as  compared  to  fiscal  2019.  There 
was a substantial increase in the level of additions to non-
performing  loans,  including  slippages  from  restructured 
loans  into  non-performing  status  for  the  Bank  since 
fiscal 2016. While, the additions to non-performing loans 
declined  sharply  in  fiscal  2019,  the  provision  remained 
elevated due to ageing provision on loans classified as NPA 
in  earlier  years.  The  provision  coverage  ratio  (excluding 
cumulative technical/prudential write-offs) increased from 
47.7% at March 31, 2018 to 70.6% at March 31, 2019. The 
provision  coverage  ratio  was  further  increased  to  75.7% 
at March 31, 2020.

RBI  on  March  27,  2020  issued  a  circular  on  ‘Covid-19-
Regulatory  Package’  with  the  intention  to  mitigate  the  
burden  of  debt  servicing  brought  about  by  disruptions 
on  account  of  Covid-19  pandemic  and  to  ensure  the 
continuity  of  viable  businesses.  RBI  permitted  banks  to 
grant  a  moratorium  of  three  months  on  the  payment  of 
all  instalments  and/or  interest,  as  applicable,  falling  due 
between  March  1,  2020  and  May  31,  2020  (moratorium 
period),  which  was  subsequently  extended  by  another 
three months to August 31, 2020. 

RBI  on  April  17,  2020  issued  a  circular  on  ‘Covid-19  
–  Asset  Classification  and 
Regulatory  Package 
Provisioning’,  wherein 
for  all  the  accounts  where 
moratorium is granted by banks and which were standard 
as on February 29, 2020, even if overdue, the moratorium 
period  will  be  excluded  from  the  number  of  days  past-
due/out  of  order  for  the  purpose  of  asset  classification 
under  the  extant  RBI  guidelines  on  Income  Recognition 
and  Asset  Classification  norms.  Banks  are  required  to 
make  general  provisions  of  not  less  than  10.0%  of  the 
total  outstanding  of  such  accounts,  to  be  phased  over 
two quarters starting from the quarter ended March 31, 
2020.  These  provisions  may  be  adjusted  against  the 
actual  provisioning  requirements  for  slippages  from 
such  accounts.  The  residual  provisions  at  the  end  of 
the financial year ending March 31, 2021 can be written 
back  or  adjusted  against  the  provisions  required  for  all  
other accounts.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISAnnual Report 2019-20 At  March  31,  2020,  the  aggregate  outstanding  of  the 
borrowers to whom moratorium has been extended and 
which  were  overdue  but  standard  at  February  29,  2020 
and continued to be overdue at March 31, 2020, amounted 
to  `  121.45  billion.  Of  these,  borrowers  with  aggregate 
outstanding  of  `  13.09  billion  were  extended  asset 
classification benefit at March 31, 2020 under RBI’s norms. 
At  March  31,  2020,  the  Bank  has  made  Covid-19  related 
provision  of  `  27.25  billion.  The  provision  made  by  the 
Bank  is  more  than  the  requirement  under  RBI  guidelines 
dated April 17, 2020.

Other provisions and contingencies (other than Covid-19 
related provision) decreased from ` 22.38 billion in fiscal 
2019 to ` 7.40 billion in fiscal 2020. Other provisions and 
contingencies  in  fiscal  2020  includes  provision  against 
non-banking  assets  acquired  under  debt  asset  swap 
transactions, offset, in part, by reclassification of provision 
on  non-fund  exposure  on  certain  borrowers  classified 
as  non-performing.  Other  provisions  and  contingencies 
in  fiscal  2019  primarily  included  provision  on  non-fund 
based facilities and non-banking assets.

TAX EXPENSE
The  income  tax  expense  increased  from  `  4.14  billion  in 
fiscal  2019  to  `  61.17  billion  in  fiscal  2020.  The  effective 
tax rate increased from 10.9% in fiscal 2019 to 43.5% in 
fiscal 2020.

tax  and  re-measured 

During fiscal 2020, the Bank decided to exercise the option 
of  lower  tax  rate  available  under  Section  115BAA  of  the 
Income  Tax  Act,  1961,  as  introduced  by  Taxation  Laws 
(Amendment)  Ordinance,  2019,  with  effect  from  fiscal 
2020.  Accordingly,  the  Bank  recognised  the  provision 
the  accumulated 
for 
deferred  tax  asset  at  March  31,  2019  based  on  the  rate 
prescribed  under  Section  115BAA.  The  resultant  impact 
has been taken through the profit and loss account. The 
impact of this change on the tax expense for fiscal 2020, 
including both, the one-time additional charge due to re-
measurement of accumulated deferred tax asset at March 
31, 2019, and the tax expense at lower rate for fiscal 2020, 
was ` 13.91 billion. 

The marginal tax rate, applicable to the Bank, will be about 
24.5% in fiscal 2021.

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  `  802.96  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  1,191.56 
billion  at  March  31,  2020  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in 
lending with RBI under LAF, offset, in part, by a decrease 
in  foreign  currency  call  money  lent.  Lending  with  RBI 
under  LAF  increased  from  `  86.00  billion  at  March  31, 
2019  to  `  570.00  billion  at  March  31,  2020  primarily  due 
to  surplus  liquidity.  The  liquidity  maintained  by  the  Bank 
has increased, particularly from March 2020 onwards, as 
the Bank focused on enhancing its liquidity buffer during 
this  period.  The  liquid  assets  were  higher  due  to  higher 
deposit flows primarily on account of growth in the term 
deposit book. 

Investments

Total  investments  increased  by  20.1%  from  `  2,077.33 
billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  2,495.31  billion  at  March 
31,  2020  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  investments  in 
government securities by ` 404.09 billion and commercial 
papers by ` 33.95 billion, offset, in part, by a decrease in 
investment in bonds and debentures by ` 22.48 billion. 

At  March  31,  2020,  the  Bank  had  an  outstanding  net 
investment  of  `  20.65  billion  in  security  receipts  issued 

by  asset  reconstruction  companies  compared  to  `  32.86 
billion  at  March  31,  2019.  During  fiscal  2020,  security 
receipts  amounting  to  `  11.62  billion  were  redeemed  on 
account of recovery from a non-performing case.

Advances

Net advances increased by 10.0% from ` 5,866.47 billion 
at March 31, 2019 to ` 6,452.90 billion at March 31, 2020 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  domestic  advances. 
Domestic  advances  increased  by  12.9%  from  `  5,236.15 
billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  5,913.23  billion  at  March 
31,  2020.  Net  retail  advances  Increased  by  15.6%  from 
`  3,528.33  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  4,080.03  billion 
at  March  31,  2020.  Net  advances  of  overseas  branches 
decreased  by  14.4%  from  `  630.32  billion  at  March  31, 
2019 to ` 539.67 billion at March 31, 2020.

Fixed and other assets

Fixed  assets  (net  block)  increased  by  6.0%  from  `  79.31 
billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  84.10  billion  at  March  31, 
2020.  Other  assets  decreased  by  7.2%  from  `  818.52 
billion at March 31, 2019 to ` 759.78 billion at March 31, 
2020 primarily due to a decrease in trade receivables on 
account  of  pending  settlement,  deferred  tax  assets  and 
non-banking  asset  acquisition  against  claims,  offset,  in 
part, by an increase in receivables on account of treasury 
transactions.

at March 31, 2019 to ` 1,628.97 billion at March 31, 2020 
primarily due to a decrease in foreign currency call money 
borrowings and foreign currency bond borrowings, offset, 
in  part,  by  an  increase  in  repo  borrowings,  borrowings 
with RBI under liquidity adjustment facility and refinance 
borrowings.  Net  borrowings  of  overseas  branches

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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISIntegrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsThe Bank is an active market participant in the interest rate 
and  foreign  exchange  derivative  market  for  trading  and 
market making purposes, which are carried out primarily 
for  customer  transactions  and  managing  the  proprietary 
position  on  interest  rate  and  foreign  exchange  risk.  The 
notional  amount  of  interest  rate  swaps  and  currency 
options  increased  from  `  12,441.82  billion  at  March  31, 
2019  to  `  15,698.50  billion  at  March  31,  2020  primarily 
due  to  an  increase  in  outstanding  position  of  overnight 
index  swaps.  These  transactions  are  done  for  trading 
and  market-making  purposes  with  a  view  to  manage 
the  interest  rate  risk.  The  notional  principal  amount  of 
outstanding  forward  exchange  contracts  increased  from 
`  4,701.00  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  7,441.46  billion 
at March 31, 2020 primarily due to increase in trading and 
market making activities in forwards to facilitate client flow 
and capture opportunities in the forward market. 

Claims  against  the  Bank,  not  acknowledged  as  debts, 
represent 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. No provision 
in  excess  of  provisions  already  made  in  the  financial 
statements is considered necessary.

As  a  part  of  project  financing  and  commercial  banking 
activities,  the  Bank  has  issued  guarantees  to  support 
regular  business  activities  of  clients.  These  generally 
represent  irrevocable  assurances  that  the  Bank  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, including advance payment 
guarantee. 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  issued  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 
reimburse losses realised under guarantees amounted to 
` 163.75 billion at March 31, 2020 as compared to ` 129.53 
billion at March 31, 2019. Other property or security may 
also  be  available  to  the  Bank  to  cover  potential  losses 
under guarantees.

Guarantees  given  on  behalf  of  constituents  increased 
by  2.0%  from  `  1,066.66  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to 
`  1,088.13  billion  at  March  31,  2020.  Acceptances, 
endorsements and other obligations decreased by 20.0% 
from ` 433.79 billion at March 31, 2019 to ` 347.12 billion at  
March 31, 2020

The Bank is 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 aggregated 
to  `  7.57  billion  at  March  31,  2020  compared  to  `  6.73 
billion at March 31, 2019.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank actively manages its capital to meet regulatory 
norms, current and future business needs and the risks in 
its businesses. The capital management framework of the 
Bank  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

The  Bank  is  subject  to  the  Basel  III  guidelines  issued 
by  RBI,  effective  from  April  1,  2013,  which  are  being 
implemented  in  a  phased  manner  by  March  31,  2019  as 
per the transitional arrangement provided by RBI for Basel 
III  implementation.  On  January  10,  2019,  RBI  extended 
the transition period for implementing the last tranche of 
0.625% under CCB by one year i.e from March 31, 2019 to 
March 31, 2020. On March 27, 2020, RBI further extended 
the transition period for implementing the last tranche of 
0.625%  under  capital  conservation  buffer  (CCB)  by  six 
months i.e. from March 31, 2020 to September 30, 2020. 

At  March  31,  2020,  the  Bank  was  required  to  maintain 
a  minimum  Common  Equity  Tier-1  (CET1)  capital  ratio 
of  7.575%,  minimum  Tier-1  capital  ratio  of  9.075%  and 
minimum total capital ratio of 11.075%. The minimum total 
capital requirement includes a capital conservation buffer 
of 1.875% and capital surcharge of 0.20% on account of 
the  Bank  being  designated  as  a  Domestic  Systemically 
Important Bank (D-SIB). Under Pillar 1 of the RBI guidelines 
on  Basel  III,  the  Bank  follows  the  standardised  approach 
for  measurement  of  credit  risk,  standardised  duration 
method for measurement of market risk and basic indicator 
approach for measurement of operational risk.

and total capital adequacy ratio was 16.11% as against the 
requirement of 11.08%.

Movement in the capital funds and risk weighted 
assets from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 as 
per Basel III norms

Capital  funds  (net  of  deductions)  increased  by  `  62.95 
billion  from  `  1,160.90  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  
` 1,223.85 billion at March 31, 2020 primarily due inclusion 
of retained earnings, issuance of Tier-2 capital instruments 
of ` 9.45 billion and increase in general provisions, offset, 
in  part,  by  redemption  of  Tier-2  capital  instruments.  The 
mandatory appropriation towards Investment Fluctuation 
Reserve  of  `  6.69  billion  has  been  considered  under  
Tier-2 capital.

Market  risk  RWA  increased  by  `  105.28  billion  from  
`  488.38  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  593.66  billion  at 
March  31,  2020  primarily  due  to  investment  in  equity 
shares of Yes Bank Ltd under the scheme of reconstruction 
and increase in fixed income book.

Operational  risk  RWA  increased  by  `  57.70  billion  from 
`  644.34  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  702.04  billion  at 
March  31,  2020.  The  operational  risk  capital  charge  is 
computed  based  on  15%  of  the  average of  the  previous 
three  financial  years’  gross  income  and  is  revised  on  an 
annual basis at June 30. RWA is arrived at by multiplying 
the capital charge by 12.5. 

RWA  as  a  percentage  of  average  assets  was  69.1%  at 
March 31, 2020 (at March 31, 2019: 80.3%).

Internal assessment of capital

Credit  risk  RWA  increased  by  `  558.17  billion  from  
`  5,741.03  billion  at  March  31,  2019  to  `  6,299.20  billion 
at  March  31,  2020  primarily  due  to  an  increase  of  
`  491.86  billion  in  RWA  for  on-balance  sheet  assets  and 
an increase of ` 66.31 billion in RWA for off-balance sheet 
assets. On-balance sheet RWA increased primarily due to 
growth in advances during the year and off-balance sheet 
RWA  increased  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  RWA  on 
derivatives.

The capital management framework of the Bank includes 
a  comprehensive  internal  capital  adequacy  assessment 
process  conducted  annually,  which  determines 
the 
level  of  capitalisation  necessary  to  meet 
adequate 
regulatory norms and current and future business needs. 
Adequate stress testing, as determined by several stress 
scenarios  is  also  done.  The  internal  capital  adequacy 
assessment process is undertaken at both the standalone 
bank level and the consolidated group level. The internal 

135

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISIntegrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial Statementscapital  adequacy  assessment  process  encompasses 
capital planning for a four-year time horizon, identification 
and  measurement  of  material  risks  and  the  relationship 
between risk and capital.

The  capital  management  framework  is  complemented  by 
the risk management framework, which covers the policies, 
processes, methodologies and frameworks established for 
the management of material risks. Stress testing, which is 
a  key  aspect  of  the  internal  capital  adequacy  assessment 
process and the risk management framework, provides an 
insight into the impact of extreme but plausible scenarios 
on the Bank’s risk profile and capital position. Based on the 
stress testing framework approved by the Board, the Bank 
conducts  stress  tests  on  various  portfolios  and  assesses 
the impact on the capital ratios and the adequacy of capital 
buffers for current and future periods. The Bank periodically 
assesses and refines its stress testing framework 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  and  the  operating 
environment. The business and capital plans and the stress 
testing  results  of  certain  key  group  entities  are  integrated 
into the internal capital adequacy assessment process.

Based  on  the  internal  capital  adequacy  assessment 
process,  the  Bank  determines  the  level  of  capital  that 
needs to be maintained by considering the following in an 
integrated manner:
• 

strategic focus, business plan and growth objectives;

• 

• 

regulatory capital requirements as per RBI guidelines;

 assessment  of  material  risks  and  impact  of  stress 
testing; 

• 

• 

• 

perception of shareholders and investors;

 future  strategy  with  regard  to 
divestments in subsidiaries; and

investments  or 

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

The Bank continues to monitor relevant developments and 
believes that its current robust capital adequacy position 
and  demonstrated  track  record  of  access  to  domestic 
and  overseas  markets  for  capital  raising  will  enable  it  to 
maintain  the  necessary  levels  of  capital  as  required  by 
regulations while continuing to grow its business.

LOAN CONCENTRATION

The Bank follows a policy of portfolio diversification and 
evaluates its total financing exposure to a particular industry 
in the light of its forecasts of growth and profitability for 
that industry. The Bank’s Credit Risk Management Group 
monitors all major sectors of the economy and specifically 
tracks industries in which the Bank has credit exposures. 
The  Bank  monitors  developments  in  various  sectors  to 
assess  potential  risks  in  its  portfolio  and  new  business 
opportunities.  The  Bank’s  policy  is  to  limit  its  portfolio 
to  any  particular  industry  (other  than  retail  loans)  to 
15.0%  of  its  total  exposure.  In  addition,  the  Bank  has  a 
framework  for  managing  concentration  risk  with  respect 
to  single  borrower  and  group  exposures,  based  on  the 
internal  rating  and  track  record  of  the  borrowers.  The 
exposure limits for lower rated borrowers and groups are 
substantially lower than the regulatory limits.

The following tables set forth, at the dates indicated, the composition of the Bank’s exposure.

The Bank’s capital allocation framework is focused on higher 
growth  in  retail  and  rural  lending  and  selective  lending 
to  corporate  sector  with  focus  on  an  increase  in  lending 
to  higher  rated  corporates.  Given  the  focus  on  the  above 
priorities,  gross  retail  finance  advances  (including  loans 
against FCNR deposits) increased by 15.0% in fiscal 2020 
compared to an increase of 9.3% in total gross advances. 
As  a  result,  the  share  of  gross  retail  finance  advances 
increased from 58.5% of gross advances at March 31, 2019 
to 61.5% of gross advances at March 31, 2020.

Since  March  2016,  the  overseas  branches  loan  portfolio 
has  reduced  by  about  50%  in  absolute  US  dollar  terms 
and its share in the total loan portfolio has decreased from 
its peak of 24.0% in fiscal 2015 to 8.4% at March 31, 2020. 

The  international  loan  portfolio  was  8.4%  of  the  overall 
loan  book  at  March  31,  2020.  Excluding  exposures  to 

banks  and  retail  lending  against  deposits,  the  corporate 
fund  and  non-fund  outstanding  at  March  31,  2020,  net 
of  cash/bank/insurance  backed  lending,  was  USD  7.48 
billion.  Out  of  USD  7.48  billion,  63%  of  the  outstanding 
was  to  Indian  corporates  and  their  subsidiaries  and  joint 
ventures  and  16%  of  the  outstanding  was  to  non-India 
companies  with  Indian  or  India-linked  operations  and 
activities.  The  portfolio  in  this  segment  is  well-rated  and 
the  Indian  operations  of  these  companies  are  target 
customers for the Bank’s deposit and transaction banking 
franchise.  The  Bank  would  continue  to  pursue  risk-
calibrated opportunities in this segment. Out of USD 7.48 
billion, about 7.0% of the outstanding was to companies 
owned by NRIs/ PIOs and 14% of the outstanding was to 
other  non-India  companies  which  is  about  1.0%  of  the 
total portfolio of the Bank. The Bank is planning significant 
reduction in this portfolio.

DIRECTED LENDING

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

Priority Sector Lending and Investment

The RBI guidelines on priority sector lending require banks 
to  lend  40.0%  of  their  adjusted  net  bank  credit  (ANBC), 
to fund certain types of activities carried out by specified 
borrowers.  The  definition  of  ANBC  includes  bank  credit 
in India adjusted by bills rediscounted with RBI and other 

approved  financial  institutions  and  certain  investments 
including  Priority  Sector  Lending  Certificates  (PSLCs) 
and  investments  in  Rural  Infrastructure  Development 
Fund  and  other  specified  funds  on  account  of  priority 
sector  shortfall  and  is  computed  with  reference  to 
the  outstanding  amount  at  corresponding  date  of  the 
preceding year as prescribed by the RBI guidelines titled 
‘Master Direction – Priority Sector Lending – Targets and 
Classification’.  Further,  the  RBI  allows  exclusion  from 
ANBC for funds raised by the Bank through issue of long-
term  bonds  for  financing  infrastructure  and  low-cost 
housing, subject to certain limits.

138

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISAnnual Report 2019-20 As prescribed by RBI’s Master Direction on ‘Priority Sector 
Lending  -  Targets  and  Classification’  dated  July  7,  2016, 
the priority sectors include categories such as agriculture, 
micro, small and medium enterprises, education, housing, 
social infrastructure, renewable energy and export credit. 
Out of the overall target of 40.0%, banks are required to 
lend a minimum of 18.0% of their ANBC to the agriculture 
sector. Sub-targets of 8.0% for lending to small & marginal 
farmers  (out  of  agriculture)  and  7.5%  lending  target  to 
micro-enterprises  were  introduced  from  fiscal  2016.  RBI 
has  directed  banks  to  maintain  direct  lending  to  non-
corporate  farmers  at  the  banking  system’s  average  level 
for  the  last  three  years,  failing  which  banks  will  attract 
penalties  for  shortfall.  RBI  would  notify  the  banks  of  the 
banking  system’s  average  level  at  the  beginning  of  each 
year.  RBI  notified  a  target  level  of  12.11%  of  ANBC  for 
this purpose for fiscal 2020. The banks are also required 
to  lend  10.0%  of  their  ANBC  to  certain  borrowers  under 
the  “weaker  section”  category.  Priority  sector  lending 
achievement  is  evaluated  on  a  quarterly  average  basis 
from fiscal 2017. 

The  Bank  is  required  to  comply  with  the  priority  sector 
lending  requirements  prescribed  by  RBI  from  time  to 
time. The shortfall in the amount required to be lent to the 
priority  sectors  and  weaker  sections  may  be  required  to 
be deposited in funds with government sponsored Indian 
development banks like the National Bank for Agriculture 
and Rural Development, the Small Industries Development 
Bank  of  India,  the  National  Housing  Bank,  Micro  Units 
Development and Refinance Agency Limited (MUDRA) and 
other financial institutions as decided by the RBI from time 
to time. These deposits have a maturity of up to seven years 
and carry interest rates lower than market rates. At March 
31,  2020,  the  Bank’s  total  investment  in  such  funds  was  
` 287.57 billion, which was fully eligible for consideration in 
overall priority sector lending achievement.

As  prescribed  in  the  RBI  guideline,  the  Bank’s  priority 
sector  lending  achievement  is  computed  on  a  quarterly 
average  basis.  Total  average  priority  sector  lending  for 
fiscal 2020 was ` 2,153.37 billion (fiscal 2019: ` 1,891.65 
billion)  constituting  40.3%  (fiscal  2019:  41.5%)  of  ANBC, 
against the requirement of 40.0% of ANBC. The average 
lending  to  the  agriculture  sector  was  `  834.63  billion 
(fiscal  2019:  `  749.77  billion)  constituting  15.6%  (fiscal 
2019: 16.5%) of ANBC against the requirement of 18.0% 
of ANBC. The average advances to weaker sections were 
` 443.88 billion (fiscal 2019: ` 403.47 billion) constituting 
8.3% (fiscal 2019: 8.9%) of ANBC against the requirement 
of 10.0% of ANBC. Average lending to small and marginal 

farmers was ` 321.50 billion (fiscal 2019: ` 307.73 billion) 
constituting  6.0%  (fiscal  2019:  6.8%)  of  ANBC  against 
the  requirement  of  8.0%  of  ANBC.  The  average  lending 
to  micro  enterprises  was  `  408.72  billion  (fiscal  2019:  
`  360.10  billion)  constituting  7.7%  (fiscal  2019:  7.9%)  of

average  lending  to  non-corporate  farmers  was  `  531.01 
billion  (fiscal  2019:  `  496.10  billion)  constituting  9.9% 
(fiscal  2019:  10.9%)  of  ANBC  against  the  requirement

includes the impact of PSLCs purchased/sold by the Bank.

CLASSIFICATION OF LOANS

The  Bank  classifies  its  assets  as  performing  and  non-
performing  in  accordance  with  RBI  guidelines.  Under 
RBI  guidelines,  an  asset  is  generally  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.  RBI  guidelines 
also  require  an  asset  to  be  classified  as  non-performing 
based on certain other criteria like restructuring of a loan, 
inability  of  a  borrower  to  complete  a  project  funded  by 
the Bank within stipulated timelines and certain other non-
financial parameters. In respect of borrowers where loans 
and  advances  made  by  overseas  branches  are  identified 
as  impaired  as  per  host  country  regulations  for  reasons 
other than record of recovery, but which are standard as 
per  RBI  guidelines,  the  amount  outstanding  in  the  host 
country is classified as non-performing.

In accordance with the RBI circular dated April 17, 2020, 
the moratorium granted to certain borrowers is excluded 
from  the  determination  of  number  of  days  past-due/out-
of-order status for the purpose of asset classification. The 
moratorium granted to the borrowers is not accounted as 
restructuring of loan.

RBI  has  separate  guidelines  for  classification  of  loans  for 
projects  under  implementation  which  are  based  on  the 
date  of  commencement  of  commercial  production  and 
date  of  completion  of  the  project  as  originally  envisaged

to  commence  commercial  operations  within  two  years

non-infrastructure  projects,  the  loan  is  classified  as  non-
performing  if  it  fails  to  commence  operations  within  12 
months from the documented date of such commencement.

Upto March 31, 2015, a fully secured standard asset could 
be restructured by re-scheduling of principal repayments 
and/or  the  interest  element,  but  had  to  be  separately 
disclosed  as  a  restructured  asset.  The  diminution  in  the 
fair  value  of  the  restructured  loan,  if  any,  measured  in 
present value terms, was either written off or a provision 
was made to the extent of the diminution involved. Similar 
guidelines applied for restructuring of sub-standard loans. 

Loans  restructured  after  April  1,  2015  (excluding  loans 
given for implementation of projects in the infrastructure 
sector and non-infrastructure sector and which are delayed 
up  to  a  specified  period)  by  re-scheduling  of  principal 
repayments  and/or  the  interest  element  are  classified  as 
non-performing.  For  such  loans,  the  diminution  in  the 
fair  value  of  the  loan,  if  any,  measured  in  present  value 
terms, has to be provided for in addition to the provisions 
applicable to non-performing loans.

The  operating  environment 
Indian  banks  was 
challenging for the past few years particularly due to the 
stress in the Indian corporate sector. The Indian corporate 
sector experienced a prolonged period of muted growth in 
sales and profits. Several challenges impacted the sector 
including  an  elongation  of  working  capital  cycles  and  a 
high level of receivables, including from the government, 
significant challenges in project completion and cash flow 
generation due to policy changes, delays in approvals like 
clearances  on  environment  and  land,  judicial  decisions 
like  the  deallocation  of  coal  mines,  significant  decline  in 
global commodity prices in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016 and 
adjustments to structural reforms such as demonetisation 
and  Goods  &  Services  Tax.  These  challenges  resulted 
in  lower  than  projected  cash  flows  and  the  progress  in 
reducing leverage in the corporate sector remained slow. 
As  a  result,  there  was  a  substantial  increase  in  the  level 
of additions to non-performing loans, including slippages 
from  restructured  loans,  into  non-performing  status  for 
the  banking  sector  and  the  Bank  from  fiscal  2016.  The 
revised  framework  for  resolution  of  stressed  assets, 
released by RBI in February 2018, further accelerated the 
recognition  of  stressed  accounts  as  non-performing  in 
fiscal 2018. Subsequently, the additions to non-performing 
loans in the banking system declined sharply in fiscal 2019 
and fiscal 2020. A few large accounts referred under the 
Insolvency  and  Bankruptcy  Code  were  also  resolved. 
However, challenges emerged in some sectors and specific 
corporates/promoter groups during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 
2020.  The  non-banking  financial  companies  (NBFCs)  and 
housing  finance  companies  faced  significant  pressures 
from  mid-2018  following  the  default  by  a  large  NBFC, 

which led to subdued growth and moderation in available 
market funding. Several measures were announced by the 
government  and  the  RBI  to  enhance  availability  of  funds 
to  the  sector  in  terms  of  additional  liquidity  support  and 
partial  credit  enhancement.  However,  a  large  housing 
finance  company  defaulted  on  its  repayments  during 
fiscal  2020.  Other  sectors  where  challenges  emerged 
during fiscal 2020 due to uncertainties and weak operating 
environment were telecom and real estate developers. 

The  gross  additions  to  NPAs  were  `  335.44  billion  in 
fiscal 2017 and ` 287.30 billion in fiscal 2018 and declined 
sharply  to  `  110.39  billion  in  fiscal  2019  and  `  142.95 
billion  in  fiscal  2020.  In  fiscal  2020,  the  Bank  recovered/
upgraded  non-performing  assets  amounting  to  `  76.73 
billion,  wrote-off  non-performing  assets  amounting  to  
` 113.00 billion and sold non-performing assets amounting 
to ` 2.05 billion. As a result, gross NPAs (net of write-offs) 
of the Bank decreased from ` 462.92 billion at March 31, 
2019 to ` 414.09 billion at March 31, 2020.

Net  NPAs  decreased  from  `  135.77  billion  at  March  31, 
2019  to  `  101.14  billion  at  March  31,  2020.  The  ratio  of 
net NPAs to net customer assets decreased from 2.06% at 
March 31, 2019 to 1.41% at March 31, 2020.

At  March  31,  2020,  gross  non-performing  loans  in  the 
retail portfolio were 2.02% of gross retail loans compared 
to  1.69%  at  March  31,  2019  and  net  non-performing 
loans in the retail portfolio were 0.90% of net retail loans 
compared to 0.72% at March 31, 2019.

The provision coverage ratio at March 31, 2020 including 
cumulative  technical/prudential  write-offs  was  86.8% 

141

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSISIntegrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial Statements(March 31, 2019: 80.7%). Excluding cumulative technical/
prudential  write-offs,  the  provision  coverage  ratio  was 
75.7% (March 31, 2019: 70.6%).

The  total  non-fund  based  outstanding  to  borrowers 
classified as non-performing was ` 50.63 billion at March 
31, 2020 (March 31, 2019: ` 42.20 billion). The Bank held 
a  provision  of  `  11.82  billion  at  March  31,  2020  (March 
31,  2019:  `  15.91  billion)  against  these  non-fund  based 
outstanding. 

The gross outstanding loans to borrowers whose facilities 
have  been  restructured  decreased  from  `  3.49  billion  at 
March  31,  2019  to  `  3.09  billion  at  March  31,  2020.  The 
net outstanding loans to borrowers whose facilities have 
been restructured decreased from ` 3.21 billion at March 
31, 2019 to ` 2.86 billion at March 31, 2020. The aggregate 
non-fund  based  outstanding  to  borrowers  whose  loans 
were  restructured  was  `  0.80  billion  at  March  31,  2020 
(March 31, 2019: ` 2.15 billion).

At March 31, 2020 the Bank had performing loans of ` 1.98 
billion where S4A had been implemented and performing 
loans  of  `  12.97  billion  where  5/25  scheme  had  been 
implemented. The aggregate non-fund based outstanding 
to  these  borrowers  (where  S4A  had  been  implemented) 
was ` 2.25 billion.

In addition to the above, at March 31, 2020, the outstanding 
loans and non-fund facilities to borrowers in the corporate 
and small and medium enterprises portfolio rated BB and 
below were ` 166.68 billion which included ` 50.63 billion 
of non-fund outstanding to borrowers classified as NPA. 

The  Bank,  in  its  previous  Annual  Report  for  2018,  had 
reported  on  the  various  steps  and  measures  taken 
pursuant  to  its  becoming  aware  in  March  2018  of  an 
anonymous  whistleblower  complaint  alleging  incorrect 
asset  classifications  stemming  from  claimed  irregular 
transactions  in  borrower  accounts,  incorrect  accounting 
of  interest  income  and  NPA  recoveries  as  fees,  and 
overvaluation  of  collateral  securing  corporate  loans.  As 
previously reported, the Bank, at the direction of the Audit 
Committee and with the assistance of external counsel, is 
continuing to investigate all of the allegations made in the 
complaint. The Bank has an established process whereby 
all  whistleblower  complaints  and  matters  escalated  to 
senior  management  are  investigated  for  appropriate 
action, including an assessment of the impact on financial 
statements, if any. 

In addition, as a large and internationally active bank, with 
operations  and  listing  of  its  equity  and  debt  instruments

in  multiple  jurisdictions,  the  Bank  is  regularly  engaged 
with  regulators,  including  the  United  States  Securities 
and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’), on a range of matters, 
including  regarding  the  March  2018  complaint.  Even 
before  this  complaint,  the  Bank  has  been  responding  to 
requests for information from the SEC investigatory staff 
regarding an enquiry relating to the timing and amount of 
the  Bank’s  loan  impairment  provisions  taken  under  U.S. 
GAAP. The Bank evaluates loans for impairment under U.S. 
GAAP  for  the  purpose  of  preparing  the  annual  footnote 
reconciling  the  Bank’s  Indian  GAAP  financial  statements 
to U.S. GAAP. The Bank has voluntarily complied with all 
requests of the SEC investigatory staff for information and 
continues to cooperate with the SEC on the matter.

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  fiscal  2020,  based 
on the segments identified and defined by RBI, has been 
presented as follows:

•  

•  

•  

•  

•  

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

 Wholesale  Banking  includes  all  advances  to  trusts, 
partnership  firms,  companies  and  statutory  bodies, 
by  the  Bank  which  are  not  included  in  the  Retail 
Banking segment, as per RBI guidelines for the Bank.

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.

The  profit  before  tax  of  the  segment  increased  by  9.4% 
from ` 82.23 billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 89.93 billion in fiscal 
2020  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  net  interest  income 
and non-interest income, offset, in part, by an increase in 
non-interest expenses and provisions.

billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  193.90  billion  in  fiscal  2020 
primarily  due  to  growth  in  average  loan  portfolio,  an 
increase in yield on advances and an increase in average 
deposits. 

Non-interest  income  increased  by  17.8%  from  `  76.15 
billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 89.70 billion in fiscal 2020 primarily

Non-interest  expenses 
from  
`  141.16  billion  in  fiscal  2019  to  `  166.47  billion  in  fiscal

business volume.

The provisions (net of write-back) increased from ` 11.04 
billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 27.20 billion in fiscal 2020 primarily

` 9.27 billion in fiscal 2020 as compared to a loss (before tax) 
of ` 102.42 billion in fiscal 2019 primarily due to a decrease 
in provisions and an increase in net interest income.

Net interest income increased by 34.7% from ` 73.36 billion 
in fiscal 2019 to ` 98.83 billion in fiscal 2020 primarily due 
to  an  increase  in  yield  on  advances,  an  increase  in  loan 
portfolio and an increase in average deposits.

Non-interest  income  increased  by  9.0%  from  `  40.38 
billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 44.00 billion in fiscal 2020.

government securities. Non-interest income of fiscal 2019 
included a gain on sale of equity shares of ICICI Prudential 
Life Insurance Company Limited of ` 11.10 billion. 

Non-interest  expenses  increased  from  `  4.34  billion  in 
fiscal 2019 to ` 8.95 billion in fiscal 2020 primarily due to

` 4.48 billion in fiscal 2020.

Other banking segment

Profit  before  tax  of  other  banking  segment  decreased 
from ` 6.31 billion in fiscal 2019 to ` 5.83 billion in fiscal

MIGRATION TO INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (IND AS)
In  January  2016,  the  Ministry  of  Corporate  Affairs  issued  the  roadmap  for  implementation  of  new  Indian  Accounting 
Standards (Ind AS), converged with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), for scheduled commercial banks, 
insurance  companies  and  non-banking  financial  companies  (NBFCs).  However,  currently  the  implementation  of  Ind 
AS for banks has been deferred by RBI till further notice pending the consideration of some recommended legislative 
amendments by the Government of India. The Bank is in an advanced stage of preparedness for implementation of Ind AS, 
as and when these are made applicable to the Indian banks. Further, there may be regulatory guidelines and clarifications 
in some critical areas of Ind AS application, which the Bank will need to suitably incorporate in its implementation project 
as and when those are issued.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of 
ICICI Bank Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Opinion 

1. 

2. 

3. 

 We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of ICICI Bank Limited (‘the Bank’), which comprise 
the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2020, the Profit and Loss Account and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then 
ended,  and  a  summary  of  the  significant  accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory  information.  Incorporated  in 
these  standalone  financial  statements  are  the  returns  of  the  international  branches  for  the  year  ended  31  March 
2020. The branches in Dubai, South Africa, and New York have been audited by the respective local auditors.

 In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the 
consideration of the reports of the branch auditors as referred to in paragraph 16 below, the aforesaid standalone 
financial statements give the information required by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, as well as the Companies 
Act, 2013 (‘Act’) and circulars and guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’), 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, including the Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with rule 7 of the Companies 
(Accounts) Rules, 2014 (as amended), of the state of affairs of the Bank as at 31 March 2020, and its profit and its cash 
flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

 We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 
Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank, in accordance with the Code 
of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’), together with the ethical requirements that 
are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we 
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We 
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and that obtained by the branch auditors, in terms of their reports 
referred to in paragraph 16 of the Other Matter section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for  
our opinion.

  Emphasis of Matter

4. 

 We draw attention to Schedule 18.57 of the accompanying standalone financial statements, which describes the 
uncertainties due to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19). In view of these uncertainties, the impact on the 
Bank’s results is significantly dependent on future developments.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

5. 

 Key  audit  matters  are  those  matters  that,  in  our  professional  judgment,  and  based  on  the  consideration  of  the 
reports of the branch auditors, as referred to in paragraph 16 below, were of most significance in our audit of the 
standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of 
the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on  
these matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

6.  We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

a. 

Information Technology (‘IT’) systems and controls impacting financial reporting

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

The  IT  environment  of  the  Bank  is  complex  and 
involves  a  large  number  of  independent  and  inter-
dependent  IT  systems  used  in  the  operations  of  the 
Bank  for  processing  and  recording  a  large  volume  of 
transactions at numerous locations. As a result, there 
is a high degree of reliance and dependency on such IT 
systems for the financial reporting process of the Bank. 
Appropriate IT general controls and application controls 
are required to ensure that such IT systems are able to 
process  the  data,  as  required,  completely,  accurately 
and consistently for reliable financial reporting. 

The  accuracy  and  reliability  of  the  financial  reporting 
process  depends  on  the  IT  systems  and  the  related 
control environment, including: 

	    IT  general 

controls  over  user 

access 
management  and  change  management  across 
applications, networks, database, and operating 
systems;

	   IT application controls.

Due to the importance of the impact of the IT systems 
and related control environment on the Bank’s financial 
reporting process, we have identified testing of such IT 
systems and related control environment as a key audit 
matter for the current year audit.

In assessing the integrity of the IT systems relevant for 
financial reporting, we involved our IT experts to obtain 
an understanding of the IT infrastructure and IT systems 
relevant  to  the  Bank’s  financial  reporting  process  for 
evaluation  and  testing  of  relevant  IT  general  controls 
and IT application controls.

Access rights were tested over applications, operating 
systems,  networks,  and  databases,  which  are  relied 
upon  for  financial  reporting.  We  also  assessed  the 
operating  effectiveness  of  controls  over  granting, 
removal  and  periodical  review  of  access  rights. 
We  further  tested  segregation  of  duties,  including 
preventive  controls  to  ensure  that  access  to  change 
applications,  the  operating  system  or  databases  in 
the  production  environment  were  granted  only  to 
authorized personnel.

Other  areas  that  were  assessed  under  the  IT  control 
environment,  included  password  policies,  security 
configurations,  business  continuity  and  controls 
around change management. 

We also evaluated the design and tested the operating 
effectiveness of key automated controls within various 
business processes. This included testing the integrity 
of  system  interfaces,  the  completeness  and  accuracy 
of  data  feeds,  system  reconciliation  controls  and 
automated calculations.

Where  deficiencies  were 
tested 
compensating  controls  or  performed  alternate 
procedures.

b. 

Identification and provisioning for non-performing assets (‘NPAs’)

 As at 31 March 2020, the Bank reported total loans and advances (net of provisions) of ` 6,452,900 million (2019: 
5,866,466 million), gross NPAs of ` 408,291 million (2019: ` 456,760 million), and provision for non-performing 
assets of ` 309,058 million (2019: ` 322,263 million). The provision coverage ratio as at 31 March 2020 is 75.7% 
(2019: 70.6%). Further, the Bank has made COVID-19 related provisions of ` 27,250 million.

(Refer schedules 9, 17.3, 18.16, 18.19, and 18.26)

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

The 
identification  of  NPAs  and  provisioning  for 
advances  is  made  in  accordance  with  the  extant  RBI 
regulations or host country regulations, in the case of 
international branches. Based on our risk assessment, 
the following are significant in assessment of the NPA 
provisions:

	    Recognition  of  defaults,  in  accordance  with 
the  criteria  set  out  in  the  RBI  Prudential  norms 
on  Income  Recognition,  Asset  Classification 
and  Provisioning  pertaining 
to  Advances 
(IRAC  norms)  or  in  accordance  with  the  host 
country  regulations,  as  applicable.  Further,  the 
Bank is also required to apply its judgement to 
determine the identification of NPAs by applying 
certain qualitative aspects;

	    The  measurement  of  provision  under  RBI 
guidelines  is  dependent  on  the  ageing  of 
overdue  balances,  secured  /  unsecured  status 
of  advances,  stress  and  liquidity  concerns  in 
certain  sectors  and  valuation  of  collateral.  The 
provision on NPAs at certain overseas branches 
requires  estimation  of  amounts  and  timing  of 
expected future cash flows and exit values.

Due  to  the  ongoing  COVID  19  pandemic,  during  our 
audit,  we  have  also  identified  implementation  of  the 
COVID  19  Regulatory  Package-  Asset  Classification 
and  Provisioning  (‘Regulatory  Package’)  announced 
by the RBI on 17 April 2020 as key in measurement of 
provisions for advances.

Considering  the  significance  of  the  above  matter  to 
the  financial  statements,  the  heightened  regulatory 
inspections  and  significant  auditor  attention  required, 
we  have  identified  this  as  a  key  audit  matter  for  the 
current year audit. 

We  understood  the  process  and  controls  and  tested 
the design and operating effectiveness of key controls, 
including IT based controls, focusing on the following:

	    Identification  and  classification  of  NPAs  in  line 
with  RBI  IRAC  norms  and  certain  qualitative 
aspects; 

	   Periodic internal reviews of asset quality; 
	   Assessment of adequacy of NPA provisions; and
	   Periodic valuation of collateral for NPAs.

To  test  the  identification  of  loans  with  default  events 
and other triggers, we selected a sample of performing 
loans and independently assessed as to whether there 
was a need to classify such loans as NPAs.

With  respect  to  provisions  recognised  towards  NPAs, 
we  selected  samples  based  on  high  risk  industry 
sectors identified by the Bank, such as shipping, rigs, 
power,  mining,  and  oil  and  gas  exploration.  For  the 
samples  selected,  we  re-performed  the  provision 
calculations,  including  valuation  of  collaterals,  and 
compared  our  outcome  to  that  prepared  by  the 
management and challenged various assumptions and 
judgements which were used by the management. We 
also held discussions with the management of the Bank 
on  high  risk  industry  sectors  and  measures  taken  by 
the management to monitor to such assets. 

We  read  the  RBI  Annual  Financial  Inspection  report 
for the financial year ended 31 March 2019 and other 
communication with the regulators.

With respect to those borrowers to whom a moratorium 
was  granted 
in  accordance  with  the  Regulatory 
Package,  on  a  sample  basis,  we  tested  that  such 
moratorium was granted in accordance with the board 
approved policy. We re-performed the calculations for 
the  additional  general  provision  made  in  accordance 
with  the  requirements  of  the  Regulatory  Package, 
including the asset classification.

We  assessed  the  appropriateness  and  adequacy  of 
disclosures against the relevant accounting standards 
and  RBI  requirements  relating  to  NPAs,  including 
the  additional  disclosures  required  to  be  made  in 
accordance with the Regulatory Package.

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

As at 31 March 2020, the Bank has ongoing legal and tax 
cases with varied degrees of complexities. This indicates 
that  a  significant  degree  of  management  judgement 
is  involved  in  determining  the  appropriateness  of 
provisions and related disclosures.

judgement 

is  needed 

in 
Significant  management 
determining whether an obligation exists and whether 
a  provision  should  be  recognised  as  at  the  reporting 
date,  in  accordance  with  the  accounting  criteria  set 
under Accounting Standard 29 - Provisions, Contingent 
Liabilities and Contingent Assets (‘AS 29’), or whether it 
needs to be disclosed as a contingent liability. Further, 
significant judgements are also involved in measuring 
such obligations, the most significant of which are: 

	    Assessment  of  liability:  Judgement  is  involved 
in  the  determination  of  whether  an  outflow 
in  respect  of  identified  material  matters  are 
probable and can be estimated reliably;

	    Adequacy  of  provisions:  The  appropriateness 
of  assumptions  and  judgements  used  in  the 
estimation of significant provisions; and 

	    Adequacy  of  disclosures  of  provision 

for 
liabilities and charges, and contingent liabilities.

Considering the significance of the above matter to the 
financial  statements,  and  significant  auditor  attention 
required to test such estimates, we have identified this 
as a key audit matter for the current year audit.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, 
the following:

We understood the Bank’s processes and controls over 
the estimation, monitoring and disclosure of provisions 
and contingent liabilities. 

For  significant  legal  matters,  we  sought  external 
confirmations  and  also  reviewed  the  confirmations 
obtained  by  the  management  from  external  legal 
counsels  and  corroborated  with  management’s 
the  assessment  of 
documented  conclusions  on 
outstanding litigations against the Bank. 

In  respect  of  taxation  matters,  we  involved  our  tax 
specialists  to  gain  an  understanding  of  the  current 
status  of  the  outstanding  tax  litigations,  including 
understanding of various orders / notices received by 
the  Bank  and  the  management’s  grounds  of  appeals 
before the relevant appellate authorities, and critically 
the 
evaluated 
likelihood  of  the  liability  devolving  upon  the  Bank,  in 
accordance with the principles of AS 29. 

the  management’s  assessment  of 

For  the  significant  provisions  made,  we  understood, 
assessed  and  challenged  the  adequacy  of  provisions 
recognised  by  the  management.  We  also  reviewed 
the historical accuracy of the provisions recognised to 
determine the efficacy of the process of estimation by 
the management. 

Further,  we  assessed  whether  the  disclosures  related 
to  significant  litigation  and  taxation  matters  were 
appropriate  and  adequate  in  terms  of  whether  the 
potential  liabilities  and  the  significant  uncertainties 
were fairly presented.

 (Refer schedule 12 and 18.13)

Key Audit Matter

Derivatives  are  valued  through  models  with  external 
inputs.  The  derivatives  portfolio  of  the  Bank  primarily 
includes  transactions  which  are  carried  out  on  behalf 
of its clients (and are covered on a back-to-back basis) 
and  transactions  to  hedge  the  Bank’s  interest  and 
foreign currency risk. 

A  significant  degree  of  management  judgement  is 
involved  in  the  application  of  valuation  techniques 
through  which  the  valuation  of  the  Bank’s  derivatives 
is  determined.  The  financial  statement  risk  arises 
particularly with respect to complex valuation models, 
parameters,  and  inputs  that  are  used  in  determining 
fair values.

Considering the significance of the above matter to the 
financial statements, significant management estimates 
and judgements, and auditor attention required to test 
such estimates and judgements, we have identified this 
as a key audit matter for the current year audit.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, 
the following:

We included our valuation experts as a part of our audit 
team to obtain an understanding, evaluate the design, 
and test the operating effectiveness of the key controls 
over the valuation processes, including:

	    independent  price  verification  performed  by  a 

management expert; and

	   model governance and validation. 

On  a  sample  basis,  our  valuation  experts  performed 
an  independent  reassessment  of  the  valuation  of 
derivatives  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  relevant 
RBI  regulations,  reasonableness  of  the  valuation 
methodology and the inputs used. 

We also challenged the appropriateness of significant 
models and methodologies used in valuation.

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon

7. 

 The  Bank’s  Board  of  Directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Directors’ Report, including annexures to the 
Directors’ Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

 Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  standalone  financial 
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on 
the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are 
required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 Responsibilities  of  Management  and  Those  Charged  with  Governance  for  the  Standalone  Financial 
Statements

 The Bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the 
preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial 
performance and cash flows of the Bank in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, 
including  the  Accounting  Standards  prescribed  under  section  133  of  the  Act  read  with  rule  7  of  the  Companies 
(Accounts) Rules, 2014 (as amended) and provisions of section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and circulars 
and guidelines issued by RBI from time to time. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting 

8. 

152

Annual Report 2019-20  
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

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

9. 

 In  preparing  the  standalone  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Bank’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  using  the  going 
concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has 
no realistic alternative but to do so.

10.  The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Banks’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

11.   Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  standalone  financial  statements  as  a  
whole  are  free  from  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error,  and  to  issue  an  auditor’s  report  that 
includes  our  opinion.  Reasonable  assurance  is  a  high  level  of  assurance,  but  is  not  a  guarantee  that  an  audit 
conducted  in  accordance  with  Standards  on  Auditing  will  always  detect  a  material  misstatement  when  it  exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they 
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone 
financial statements.

12.   As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  Standards  on  Auditing,  we  exercise  professional  judgment  and  maintain 

professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• 

• 

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate  in  the  circumstances.  Under  section  143(3)(i)  of  the  Act,  we  are  also  responsible  for  explaining 
our opinion on whether the Bank has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating 
effectiveness of such controls.

• 

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by management.

  • 

 Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast 
significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty 
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone 
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based 
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may 
cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.

• 

 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the 
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

13.   We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and 
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit.

153

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial Statements 
 
 
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

14.   We  also  provide  those  charged  with  governance  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

15.   From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of 
most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key 
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure 
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated 
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public 
interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matters

16.   We did not audit the financial statements of 3 international branches included in the standalone financial statements 
of  the  Bank,  whose  financial  statements  reflects  total  assets  of  `  518,398  million  as  at  31  March  2020,  and  total 
revenue, total net loss after tax, and net cash outflows of ` 19,506 million, ` 10,963 million, and ` 107,472 million, 
respectively, for the year ended on that date, as considered in the standalone financial statements. The financial 
statements of these branches have been audited by the branch auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us 
by the management, and our opinion on the standalone financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts 
and disclosures included in respect of branches, is based solely on the reports of such branch auditors. 

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements is not modified in respect of the above matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

17.   The Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Account have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of section 
29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and section 133 of the Act read with rule 7 of the Companies (Rules), 2014 
(as amended).

18.   As required by sub-section (3) of section 30 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, based on our audit, and on the 

consideration of the reports of the branch auditors as referred to in paragraph 16 above, we report that:

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

b)

  c) 

 since the key operations of the Bank are automated with the key applications integrated to the core banking

audit are available therein. However, during the course of our audit, we have visited 122 branches to examine 
the records maintained at such branches for the purpose of our audit. 

19.   With respect to the matter to be included in the Auditor’s Report under section 197(16) of the Act, we report that 
since the Bank is a banking company, as defined under Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the reporting under section 
197(16) in relation to whether the remuneration paid by the Bank is in accordance with the provisions of section 
197 of the Act and whether any excess remuneration has been paid in accordance with the aforesaid section, is not 
applicable.

20.   Further, as required by section 143 (3) of the Act, based on our audit, and on the consideration of the reports of the 

branch auditors as referred to in paragraph 16 above, we report, to the extent applicable, that:

 we have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and 
belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit;

 in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Bank, so far as it appears from 
our examination of those books and proper returns, adequate for the purposes of our audit, have been received 
from the international branches not audited by us;

ANNEXURE A to the Independent Auditor’s Report of even date to the members of ICICI Bank 

Limited on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020

 Independent  Auditor’s  Report  on  the  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  the  standalone 
financial  statements  under  Clause  (i)  of  Sub-section  3  of  Section  143  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013  
(‘the Act’)

1. 

 In conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of ICICI Bank Limited (‘the Bank’) as at and for 
the year ended 31 March 2020, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 
of the Bank as at that date. 

  Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

2. 

3. 

4. 

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

 Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial 
Statements

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

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

5. 

 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 
opinion on the Bank’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.

  Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

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

8. 

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements

 Owing to the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the 
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud 
may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference 
to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to 
financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance 
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

 In our opinion, the Bank has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial 
statements and such controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2020, based on the internal financial controls 
with  reference  to  financial  statements  criteria  established  by  the  Bank  considering  the  essential  components  of 
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued 
by the ICAI.

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. The Bank also has overseas branches in Bahrain, 
China, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, United States of America and Offshore Banking units.

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 and the Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the 
Companies Act, 2013 read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 to the extent applicable 
and practices generally prevalent in the banking industry in India. The Bank follows the historical cost convention and the 
accrual method of accounting, except in the case of interest and other income on non-performing assets (NPAs) where 
it is recognised upon realisation.

The preparation of 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 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The 
impact of any revision in these estimates is recognised prospectively from the period of change.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

the case of non-performing assets (NPAs) where it is recognised upon realisation, as per the income recognition 
and asset classification norms of RBI

2. 

Investments

 Investments  are  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  the  extant  RBI  guidelines  on  investment  classification  and 
valuation as given below.

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

6. 

7. 

8. 

 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 closing quotes on the recognised stock exchanges 
or prices declared by Primary Dealers Association of India (PDAI) jointly with Fixed Income Money Market and 
Derivatives Association (FIMMDA)/Financial Benchmark India Private Limited (FBIL), periodically.

 The market/fair value of unquoted government securities which are in 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/FBIL. The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities, including Pass Through Certificates, 
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.  The  sovereign  foreign  securities 
and  non-INR  India  linked  bonds  are  valued  on  the  basis  of  prices  published  by  the  sovereign  regulator  or 
counterparty quotes.

 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.  Depreciation/appreciation  on  securities,  other  than  those  acquired  by  way 
of conversion of outstanding loans, is aggregated for each category. Net appreciation in each category under 
each investment classification, if any, being unrealised, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided for. The 
depreciation  on  securities  acquired  by  way  of  conversion  of  outstanding  loans  is  fully  provided  for.  Non-
performing investments are identified based on the RBI guidelines.

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

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

 Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition, are charged 
to the profit and loss account. Cost of investments is computed based on the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method. 

 Equity investments in subsidiaries/joint ventures are classified under ‘Held to Maturity’ and ’Available for Sale’. The 
Bank assesses these investments for any permanent diminution in value and appropriate provisions are made. 

 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.

9. 

 Market repurchase, reverse repurchase and transactions with RBI under Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) are 
accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines.

10.   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.

11.   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. The security receipts which are outstanding and 
not redeemed as at the end of the resolution period are treated as loss assets and are fully provided for.

12.   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.

13.   The  Bank  undertakes  short  sale  transactions  in  dated  central  government  securities  in  accordance  with  RBI 
guidelines. The short positions are categorised under HFT category and are marked to market. The mark-to-
market loss is charged to profit and loss account and gain, if any, is ignored as per RBI guidelines.

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

 The Bank classifies its loans and investments, including at overseas branches and overdues arising from crystallised 
derivative contracts, into performing and NPAs in accordance with RBI guidelines. Loans and advances held at the 
overseas branches that are identified as impaired as per host country regulations for reasons other than record of 
recovery, but which are standard as per the extant RBI guidelines, are classified as NPAs to the extent of amount 
outstanding in the host country. Further, NPAs are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the 
criteria stipulated by RBI. In accordance with the RBI circular dated April 17, 2020, the moratorium granted to certain 
borrowers is excluded from the determination of number of days past-due/out-of-order status for the purpose of 
asset classification. The moratorium granted to the borrowers is not accounted as restructuring of loan.

 In  the  case  of  corporate  loans  and  advances,  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 loans and 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. For loans and advances booked in overseas branches, which are NPAs as per the extant RBI guidelines 
and as per host country guidelines, provisions are made at the higher of the provisions required under RBI regulations 
and host country regulations. Provisions on homogeneous retail loans and advances, subject to minimum provisioning 
requirements of RBI, are assessed on the basis of the ageing of the loan in the non-performing category. As per RBI 
guidelines, in respect of non-retail loans reported as fraud to RBI and classified in doubtful category, the entire amount, 
without considering the value of security, is provided for over a period not exceeding four quarters starting from the 
quarter in which fraud has been detected. In respect of non-retail loans where there has been delay in reporting the 
fraud to the RBI or which are classified as loss accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In case of fraud 
in retail accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In respect of borrowers classified as non-cooperative 
borrowers or willful defaulters, the Bank makes accelerated provisions as per extant RBI guidelines.

 The  Bank  holds  specific  provisions  against  non-performing  loans  and  advances  and  against  certain  performing 
loans  and  advances  in  accordance  with  RBI  directions,  including  RBI  direction  for  provision  on  accounts  referred 
to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The assessment of 
incremental specific provisions is made after taking into consideration the existing specific provision held. The specific 
provisions on retail loans and advances held by the Bank are higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.

 Provision due to diminution in the fair value of restructured/rescheduled loans and advances is made in accordance 
with the applicable RBI guidelines.

173

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Accounts (Contd.)Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial Statements 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Non-performing and restructured loans are upgraded to standard as per the extant RBI guidelines.

 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.

 The Bank maintains general provision on performing loans and advances in accordance with the RBI guidelines, 
including  provisions  on  loans  to  borrowers  having  unhedged  foreign  currency  exposure,  provisions  on  loans 
to  specific  borrowers  in  specific  stressed  sectors,  provision  on  exposures  to  step-down  subsidiaries  of  Indian 
companies and provision on incremental exposure to borrowers identified as per RBI’s large exposure framework. 
For  performing  loans  and  advances  in  overseas  branches,  the  general  provision  is  made  at  higher  of  aggregate 
provision required as per host country regulations and RBI requirement.

 In addition to the provisions required to be held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for 
individual country exposures including indirect country risk (other than for home country exposure). The countries 
are categorised into seven risk categories namely insignificant, low, moderately low, moderate, moderately high, 
high and very high, and provisioning is made on exposures exceeding 180 days on a graded scale ranging from 
0.25% to 25%. 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. The indirect exposure is reckoned at 50% of the exposure. 
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.

 The Bank makes floating provision as per the Board approved policy, which is in addition to the specific and general 
provisions  made  by  the  Bank.  The  floating  provision  is  utilised,  with  the  approval  of  Board  and  RBI,  in  case  of 
contingencies which do not arise in the normal course of business and are exceptional and non-recurring in nature 
and for making specific provision for impaired loans as per the requirement if extant RBI guidelines or any regulatory 
guidance/instructions. The floating provision is netted-off from advances.

 The Bank makes additional provisions as per RBI guidelines for the cases where viable resolution plan has not been 
implemented within the timelines prescribed by the RBI, from the date of default. These additional provisions are 
written-back on satisfying the conditions for reversal as per RBI guidelines.

 The Bank has granted moratorium towards the payment of principal and/or interest in case of certain borrowers in 
accordance with RBI circular dated March 27, 2020. The Bank makes general provision on such loans at rates equal 
or higher than requirements stipulated in RBI circular.

4.  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. With effect from May 7, 2012, the RBI guidelines require the profit/premium 
arising  from  securitisation  to  be  amortised  over  the  life  of  the  transaction  based  on  the  method  prescribed  in  
the guidelines.

 In accordance with RBI guidelines, in case of non-performing/special mention account-2 loans sold to securitisation 
company (SC)/reconstruction company (RC), the Bank reverses the excess provision in profit and loss account in 
the year in which amounts are received. Any shortfall of sale value over the net book value on sale of such assets is 
recognised by the Bank in the year in which the loan is sold.

5.  Fixed assets

 Fixed  assets,  other  than  premises,  are  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment,  if  any. 
Premises are carried at revalued amount, being fair value at the date of revaluation less accumulated depreciation. 

174

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 fixed assets on a straight-line basis. The useful lives of the 
groups of fixed assets are given below.

  1.   The useful life of assets is based on historical experience of the Bank, which is different from the useful life as prescribed in 

Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

a) 

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

b) 

Items individually costing upto ` 5,000/- are depreciated fully in the year of acquisition.

c)  Assets at residences of Bank’s employees are depreciated over the estimated useful life of 5 years.

d) 

 In case of revalued/impaired assets, depreciation is provided over the remaining useful life of the assets with 
reference to revised asset values. In case of premises, which are carried at revalued amounts, the depreciation 
on  the  excess  of  revalued  amount  over  historical  cost  is  transferred  from  Revaluation  Reserve  to  General 
Reserve annually.

e) 

 The profit on sale of premises is appropriated to capital reserve, net of transfer to Statutory Reserve and taxes, 
in accordance with RBI guidelines.

Non-banking assets

 Non-banking  assets  (NBAs)  acquired  in  satisfaction  of  claims  are  valued  at  the  market  value  on  a  distress  sale 
basis or value of loan, whichever is lower. Further, the Bank creates provision on these assets as per the extant RBI 
guidelines or specific RBI directions.

6.  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) relevant to the balance sheet date 
and the resulting gains/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 relevant closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date and the resulting gains/
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. Pursuant to RBI guideline, the Bank does not recognise the 
cumulative/proportionate amount of such exchange differences as income or expenses, which relate to repatriation 
of accumulated retained earnings from overseas 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 relevant to the balance sheet date.

7.  Accounting for derivative contracts

 The Bank enters into derivative contracts such as interest rate options, currency options and bond options, interest rate 
and currency futures, 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  liabilities  and  accounted  pursuant  to  the 
principles of hedge accounting. Hedge swaps are accounted for on an accrual basis and are not marked to market 
unless their underlying transaction is marked to market.

 Foreign currency and rupee derivative contracts entered into for trading purposes are marked to market and the 
resulting gain or loss 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 options on the Bank’s equity shares 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 and amortised over the vesting period. The fair market 
price is the latest closing price, immediately prior to the grant date, which is generally the date of the meeting of 
the  Board  Governance,  Remuneration  &  Nomination  Committee  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.  Employee Benefits

Gratuity

 The Bank pays gratuity, a defined benefit plan, 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. The Bank makes contribution to a trust which administers the funds on its own account or through insurance 
companies. The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

 Actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability 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 and National Pension Scheme

 The Bank contributes 15.0% of the total annual basic salary or an amount of ` 0.15 million for certain employees to 
superannuation funds, defined contribution plans, managed and administered by insurance companies. Further, the 

176

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Accounts (Contd.)Annual Report 2019-20  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Bank contributes 10.0% of the total basic salary of certain employees to National Pension Scheme (NPS), a defined 
contribution plan, which is managed and administered by pension fund management companies. The Bank also 
gives an option to its employees allowing them to receive the amount in lieu of such contributions along with their 
monthly salary during their employment.

 The amounts so contributed/paid by the Bank to the superannuation fund and NPS or to employees during the year 
are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Pension

 The Bank provides for pension, a defined benefit plan covering eligible employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura, 
erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan. The Bank makes contribution to a trust which administers 
the funds on its own account or through insurance companies. 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.

 Actuarial valuation of the pension liability 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. The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are 
recognised in the profit and loss account.

Employees covered by the pension plan are not eligible for employer’s contribution under the provident fund plan.

Provident Fund

 The Bank is statutorily required to maintain a provident fund, a defined benefit plan, as a part of retirement benefits to 
its employees. Each employee contributes a certain percentage of his or her basic salary and the Bank contributes an 
equal amount for eligible employees. The Bank makes contribution as required by The Employees’ Provident Funds 
and  Miscellaneous  Provisions  Act,  1952  to  Employees’  Pension  Scheme  administered  by  the  Regional  Provident 
Fund  Commissioner.  The  Bank  makes  balance  contributions  to  a  fund  administered  by  trustees.  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.

The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

 The overseas branches of the Bank and its eligible employees contribute a certain percentage of their salary towards 
respective government schemes as per local regulatory guidelines. The contribution made by the overseas branches 
is recognised in profit and loss account at the time of contribution.

Compensated absences

The Bank provides for compensated absence 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 respectively. Deferred tax adjustments 
comprise changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year.

 Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  by  considering  the  impact  of  timing  differences  between  
taxable  income  and  accounting  income  for  the  current  year,  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.

177

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Accounts (Contd.)Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial Statements 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 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. However, in case of unabsorbed depreciation 
or  carried  forward  loss,  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  recognised  only  if  there  is  virtual  certainty  of  realisation  of  
such assets.

11.  Impairment of Assets

 The Bank follows revaluation model of accounting for its premises and the recoverable amount of the revalued assets 
is considered to be close to its revalued amount. Accordingly, separate assessment for impairment of premises is 
not required. 

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.

 The  Bank  estimates  the  probability  of  redemption  of  customer  loyalty  reward  points  using  an  actuarial  method 
by  employing  an  independent  actuary  and  accordingly  makes  provision  for  these  reward  points.  Actuarial 
valuation is determined based on certain assumptions regarding mortality rate, discount rate, cancellation rate and  
redemption rate.

13.  Earnings per share (EPS)

 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 on straight line basis. The leases of property, plant and equipment, where substantially all of the 
risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Bank are classified as finance leases. Minimum lease payments 
under finance lease are apportioned between the finance costs and reduction of the outstanding liability.

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.

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS

The  following  disclosures  have  been  made  taking  into  account  the  requirements  of  Accounting  Standards  (ASs)  and 
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. 

1.  Earnings per share 

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

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

3.  Capital adequacy ratio

 The Bank is subject to the Basel III capital adequacy guidelines stipulated by RBI with effect from April 1, 2013. The 
guidelines provide a transition schedule for Basel III implementation till March 31, 2020. As per the guidelines, the 
Tier-1 capital is made up of Common Equity Tier-1 (CET1) and Additional Tier-1.

 At March 31, 2020, Basel III guidelines require the Bank to maintain a minimum Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio 
(CRAR) of 11.08% with minimum CET1 CRAR of 7.58% and minimum Tier-1 CRAR of 9.08%. The minimum total 
CRAR, Tier-1 CRAR and CET1 CRAR requirement include capital conservation buffer of 1.88% and additional capital 
requirement of 0.20% on account of the Bank being designated as Domestic Systemically Important Bank.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, computation of capital adequacy as per Basel III framework.

4.  Liquidity coverage ratio 

 The Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) had introduced the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) in order to 
ensure that a bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered high quality liquid assets (HQLA) to survive a significant 
liquidity  stress  lasting  for  a  period  of  30  days.  LCR  is  defined  as  a  ratio  of  HQLA  to  the  total  net  cash  outflows 
estimated for the next 30 calendar days. At March 31, 2020, the applicable minimum LCR required to be maintained 
by banks is 100.0% (effective from January 1, 2019).

 Liquidity of the Bank is managed by the Asset Liability Management Group (ALMG) under the central oversight of the 
Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO). For the domestic operations of the Bank, ALMG-India is responsible 
for the overall management of liquidity. For the overseas branches of the Bank, a decentralised approach is followed 
for day-to-day liquidity management, while a centralised approach is followed for long-term funding in co-ordination 
with Head-Office. Liquidity in the overseas branches is maintained taking into consideration both host country and 
the RBI regulations. 

 The Bank during the three months ended March 31, 2020 maintained average HQLA (after haircut) of ` 1,827,380.8 
million (March 31, 2019: ` 1,434,622.0 million) against the average HQLA requirement of ` 1,457,422.7 million (March 
31, 2019: ` 1,090,941.2 million) at minimum LCR requirement of 100.0% (March 31, 2019: 100.0%). HQLA primarily 
includes government securities in excess of minimum statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and to the extent allowed under 
marginal standing facility (MSF) and facility to avail liquidity for LCR (FALLCR) of ` 1,600,071.6 million (March 31, 
2019 : ` 1,189,674.2 million). 

 RBI increased the limit of Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) under which banks can borrow overnight at their discretion 
by dipping into their SLR from 2.0% to 3.0% with effect from March 27, 2020. This takes the total carve out from SLR 
available to banks at 17.5% of their NDTL including 14.5% of FALLCR. Additionally, cash, balance in excess of cash 
reserve requirement with RBI and balances with central banks of countries where the Bank’s branches are located 
amounted  to  `  135,769.6  million  (March  31,  2019:  `  178,691.5  million).  Further,  average  level  2  assets  primarily 
consisting of AA- and above rated corporate bonds and commercial papers, amounted to ` 59,552.0 million (March 
31, 2019: ` 47,040.3 million).

 At March 31, 2020, top liability products/instruments and their percentage contribution to the total liabilities of the 
Bank  were  term  deposits  38.53%  (March  31,  2019:  34.11%),  savings  account  deposits  22.36%  (March  31,  2019: 
23.61%), current account deposits 9.31% (March 31, 2019: 9.98%) and bond borrowings 6.47% (March 31, 2019: 
9.29%). Top 20 depositors constituted 4.88% (March 31, 2019: 5.74%) of total deposits of the Bank at March 31, 
2020. Further, the total borrowings mobilised from significant counterparties (from whom the funds borrowed were 
more than 1.00% of the Bank’s total liabilities) were 5.78% (March 31, 2019: 7.04%) of the total liabilities of the Bank 
at March 31, 2020.

 The  weighted  cash  outflows  are  primarily  driven  by  unsecured  wholesale  funding  which  includes  operational 
deposits, non-operational deposits and unsecured debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, unsecured 
wholesale  funding  contributed  58.12%  (March  31,  2019:  56.18%)  of  the  total  weighted  cash  outflows.  The  non-
operational  deposits  include  term  deposits  with  premature  withdrawal  facility.  Retail  deposits  including  deposits 
from  small  business  customers  and  other  contingent  funding  obligations  contributed  20.77%  (March  31,  2019: 
22.98%) and 6.28% (March 31, 2019: 6.14%) of the total weighted cash outflows, respectively. The other contingent 
funding  obligations  primarily  include  bank  guarantees  (BGs)  and  letters  of  credit  (LCs)  issued  on  behalf  of  the  
Bank’s clients.

 In accordance with the regulatory package announced by the Reserve Bank of India on March 27, 2020, the Bank has 
extended the option of payment moratorium for all dues falling due between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020 to its 
borrowers. As the moratorium has been given effect subsequent to March 2020, inflows from advances are based 
on the original cash flows prevailing at March 31, 2020. 

 In  view  of  the  margin  rules  for  non-centrally  cleared  derivative  transactions  issued  by  the  Basel  Committee  on 
Banking Supervision and discussion paper issued by the RBI, certain derivative transactions would be subject to 
margin reset and consequent collateral exchange would be as governed by Credit Support Annex (CSA). The margin 
rules are applicable for both the domestic and overseas operations of the Bank. The Bank has entered into CSAs 
which would require maintenance of collateral due to valuation changes on transactions under the CSA framework. 
The Bank considers the increased liquidity requirement on account of valuation changes in the transactions settled 
through  Qualified  Central  Counterparties  (QCCP)  in  India  including  the  Clearing  Corporation  of  India  (CCIL)  and 
other exchange houses as well as for transactions covered under CSAs. The potential outflows on account of such 
transactions have been considered based on the look-back approach prescribed in the RBI guidelines.

 The average LCR of the Bank for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 125.38% (March 31, 2019: 131.50%). 
During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2020,  other  than  Indian  Rupee,  USD  was  the  only  significant  foreign 
currency which constituted more than 5.00% of the balance sheet size of the Bank. The average LCR of the Bank 
for USD currency, computed based on daily LCR values, was 52.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 
(March 31, 2019: 117.77%).

Information about business and geographical segments 
Business Segments 

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

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 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 (BCBS) 
document ‘International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework’. 
This  segment  also  includes  income  from  credit  cards,  debit  cards,  third  party  product  distribution  and  the 
associated costs.

 Wholesale Banking includes all advances to trusts, partnership firms, companies and statutory bodies, which 
are not included under Retail Banking.

 Treasury includes the entire investment and derivative portfolio of the Bank.

 Other Banking includes leasing operations and other items not attributable to any particular business segment.

 Unallocated includes items such as tax paid in advance net of provision, deferred tax and provisions to the 
extent reckoned at the entity level.

 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.

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 10% of the aggregate number of the issued 
equity shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options in line with SEBI Regulations. Under the stock option 
scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply for equity shares. In April 2016, exercise period was modified from 
10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later, to 10 years from the date 
of vesting of options. In June 2017, exercise period was further modified to not exceed 10 years from the date of 
vesting of options as may be determined by the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee to be 
applicable for future grants. In May 2018, exercise period was further modified to not exceed 5 years from the date 
of vesting of options as may be determined by the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee to 
be applicable for future grants.

 Options granted after March 2014 vest in a graded manner over a three-year period with 30%, 30% and 40% of 
the grant vesting in each year, commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant other than certain 
options  granted  in  April  2014  which  vested  to  the  extent  of  50%  on  April  30,  2017  and  the  balance  on  April  30, 
2018 and option granted in September 2015 which vested to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2018 and balance 50% 
vested on April 30, 2019. Options granted in January 2018 would vest at the end of four years from the date of grant. 
Certain options granted in May 2018, would vest to the extent of 50% on May 2021 and balance 50% would vest on  
May 2022. 

 Options granted prior to March 2014 except mentioned below, vested 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 vested 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 vested in a graded manner over a five-year 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 exercise price of the Bank’s options, except mentioned below, is the last closing price on the stock exchange, 
which recorded highest trading volume preceding the date of grant of options. In February 2011, the Bank granted 
16,692,500  options  to  eligible  employees  and  whole-time  Directors  of  the  Bank  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries  at 
an exercise price of ` 175.82. This exercise price was the average closing price on the stock exchange during the 
six months ended October 28, 2010. Of these options granted, 50% vested on April 30, 2014 and the balance 50% 
vested on April 30, 2015. 

 Based on intrinsic value of options, no compensation cost was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2020 
(year  ended  March  31,  2019:  Nil).  If  the  Bank  had  used  the  fair  value  of  options  based  on  binomial  tree  model, 
compensation  cost  in  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020  would  have  been  higher  by  `  3,826.2  million  (year  ended 
March 31, 2019: ` 3,179.0 million) and proforma profit after tax would have been ` 75,481.9 million (year ended 
March 31, 2019: ` 30,454.0 million). On a proforma basis, the Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share would 
have been ` 11.68 (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 4.73) and ` 11.49 (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 4.68) respectively 
for the year ended March 31, 2020. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended March 
31, 2020 was ` 149.62 (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 107.22).

Risk free interest rates over the expected term of the option are based on the government securities yield in effect 
at the time of the grant. The expected term of an option is estimated based on the vesting term as well as expected 
exercise  behavior  of  the  employees  who  receive  the  option.  Expected  exercise  behavior  is  estimated  based  on 
the historical stock option exercise pattern of the Bank. Expected volatility during the estimated expected term of  
the  option  is  based  on  historical  volatility  determined  based  on  observed  market  prices  of  the  Bank’s  publicly  
traded equity shares. Expected dividends during the estimated expected term of the option are based on recent 
dividend activity.

13.  Derivatives 

 The Bank is a major participant in the financial derivatives market. The Bank deals in derivatives for balance sheet 
management, proprietary trading 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 Control and Service Group 
(TCSG)  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, asset liability management (ALM) policy and operational 
risk management policy. The RCB comprises independent directors and the Managing Director & 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 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 based on guidelines issued by RBI. 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.

 Over the counter (OTC) 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.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the details of derivative positions.

  1.  Computed based on current exposure method.
  2.  Amounts given are absolute values on a net basis.

 As  per  the  Master  circular  on  Basel  III  Capital  Regulations  issued  by  RBI  on  July  1,  2015  on  capital  adequacy 
computation, ‘Banks in India shall adopt the comprehensive approach, which allows fuller offset of collateral against 
exposures, by effectively reducing the exposure amount by the value ascribed to the collateral’. Therefore, MTM 
receivable has been fully offsetted against the collateral received from the counterparty and the excess collateral 
posted over the net MTM payable is reckoned as exposure. Since, the collateral received is counterparty wise and 
not product wise, the derivative exposure reported above has not been adjusted for the collateral received/posted. 
At March 31, 2020, collateral utilized against MTM receivable is ` 15,185.9 million, excess collateral posted over 
net MTM payable is ` 348.6 million and the net credit exposure post collateral netting on forex and derivatives is  
` 517,228.1 million.

 The net overnight open position (NOOP) at March 31, 2020 (as per last NOOP value reported to RBI for the year 
ended March 31, 2020) was ` 4,620.9 million (March 31, 2019: ` 2,688.1 million).

 The Bank has no exposure in credit derivative instruments (funded and non-funded) including credit default swaps 
(CDS) and principal protected structures at March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019: Nil).

15.  Forward rate agreement (FRA)/Interest rate swaps (IRS)/Cross currency swaps (CCS)

 The  Bank  enters  into  FRA,  IRS  and  CCS  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 and 
currency risk within the prevalent regulatory guidelines. 

 A FRA is a financial contract between two parties to exchange interest payments for ‘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 London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (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 Mumbai Inter-Bank Offered Rate (MIBOR), Indian Government Securities Benchmark Rate (INBMK), 
Mumbai Inter-Bank Forward Offer Rate (MIFOR) and LIBOR of various currencies. 

 A  CCS  is  a  financial  contract  between  two  parties  exchanging  interest  payments  and  principal,  wherein  interest 
payments and principal in one currency would be exchanged for interest payments and principal in another currency.

 Further, in accordance with RBI guidelines, the loans and advances held at the overseas branches that are identified 
as impaired as per host country regulations for reasons other than record of recovery, but which are standard as 
per the extant RBI guidelines, are classified as NPAs to the extent of amount outstanding in the host country. During 
the  year  ended  March  31,  2020,  the  Bank  classified  certain  loans  as  NPAs  at  overseas  branches  amounting  to  
` 19,795.3 million (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 3,244.1 million) as per the requirement of these guidelines and 
made a provision of ` 10,305.8 million (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 718.2 million) on these loans.

Divergence in asset classification and provisioning for NPAs

 In  terms  of  the  RBI  circular  no.  //DBR.BP.BC.No.32/21.04.018/2019-19  dated  April  1,  2019,  banks  are  required  to 
disclose the divergences in asset classification and provisioning consequent to RBI’s annual supervisory process 
in their notes to accounts to the financial statements, wherever either (a) the additional provisioning requirements 
assessed by RBI exceed 10% of the reported net profits before provisions and contingencies or (b) the additional 
gross  NPAs  identified  by  RBI  exceed  15%  of  the  published  incremental  gross  NPAs  for  the  reference  period,  or 
both.  Based  on  the  condition  mentioned  in  RBI  circular,  no  disclosure  on  divergence  in  asset  classification  and 
provisioning for NPAs is required with respect to RBI’s supervisory process for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 
for the year ended March 31, 2018.

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Bank did not make any floating provision (March 31, 2019: Nil).

 The  general  provision  on  standard  assets  (excluding  Covid-19  related  provision)  held  by  the  Bank  at  March  31, 
2020 was ` 33,745.2 million (March 31, 2019: ` 28,737.6 million). General provision on standard assets (excluding 
Covid-19 related provision) amounting to ` 4,621.1 million was made during the year ended March 31, 2020 (year 
ended March 31, 2019: ` 2,553.7 million) as per applicable RBI guidelines. For Covid-19 related provision refer to 
Note no. 26 – ‘Classification and provisioning under RBI Covid-19 Regulatory Package’.

 RBI,  through  its  circular  dated  January  15,  2014  had  advised  banks  to  create  incremental  provision  on  standard 
loans and advances to entities with unhedged foreign currency exposure (UFCE). The Bank assesses the UFCEs of 
the borrowers through its credit appraisal and internal ratings process. The Bank also undertakes reviews of such 
exposures through thematic reviews evaluating the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Bank’s portfolio on 
an yearly basis.

 The Bank held provision amounting to ` 2,500.0 million (March 31, 2019: ` 2,250.0 million) on advances to entities 
with UFCE at March 31, 2020. The Bank made provision amounting to ` 250.0 million during the year ended March 
31,  2020  (year  ended  March  31,  2019:  `  350.0  million).  The  Bank  held  incremental  capital  of  `  7,752.5  million  at 
March 31, 2020 on advances to borrowers with UFCE (March 31, 2019: ` 8,048.3 million).

 The  Bank  makes  additional  general  provision  on  stressed  sectors  of  the  economy,  as  per  RBI  guidelines  and  as 
per the Board approved policy. During the year ended March 31, 2020, Bank made provision amounting to ` 911.9 
million  (year  ended  March  31,  2019:  write  back  of  provision  `  483.4  million).  At  March  31,  2020,  the  Bank  held 
provision of ` 2,340.0 million (March 31, 2019: ` 1,428.1 million).

 RBI, through its circular dated August 25, 2016, required banks to make additional provision from the year ended 
March 31, 2019 on incremental exposure of the banking system in excess of normally permitted lending limit (NPLL) 
on  borrowers  classified  as  specified  borrower.  During  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020,  there  was  a  write-back  
of  provision  amounting  to  `  42.7  million  (year  ended  March  31,  2019:  provision  made  of  `  124.2  million)  on  
these specified borrowers. The Bank held provision amounting to ` 81.5 million at March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019: 
` 124.2 million). 

19.  Provision Coverage Ratio

 The provision coverage ratio of the Bank at March 31, 2020 computed as per the extant RBI guidelines was 75.7% 
(March 31, 2019: 70.6%).

` 24,631.9 million under the prudential framework for stressed assets issued by RBI on June 7, 2019.

26.  Classification and provisioning under RBI Covid-19 Regulatory Package 

 In accordance with the regulatory package announced by the Reserve Bank of India on March 27, 2020, the Bank has 
extended the option of payment moratorium for all dues falling due between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020 to its 
borrowers. In line with the RBI guidelines issued on April 17, 2020, in respect of all accounts classified as standard 
as on February 29, 2020, even if overdue, the moratorium period, wherever granted, shall be excluded from the 
number of days past-due for the purpose of asset classification. 

 The Bank has extended the moratorium option to its borrowers under a Board-approved policy. For certain loan 
categories, moratorium is the default choice with an option to the borrowers to opt-out of the moratorium. At March 
31, 2020, the aggregate outstanding of the borrowers to whom moratorium has been extended by the end of April 2020 
and which were overdue but standard at February 29, 2020 and continued to be overdue at March 31, 2020, amounted 
to ` 121,453.6 million. Of these, borrowers with aggregate outstanding of ` 13,092.6 million were extended asset 
classification benefit at March 31, 2020 under RBI’s norms. At March 31, 2020, the Bank has made Covid-19 related 
provision of ` 27,250.0 million. The provision made by the Bank is more than the requirement under RBI guidelines dated  
April 17, 2020.

Contingent liability

Brief Description

Claims against 
the Bank, not 
acknowledged as 
debts

Liability for partly 
paid investments

Liability on account 
of outstanding 
forward exchange 
contracts

This  item  represents  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 AS 29, the Bank has reviewed 
and  classified  these  items  as  possible  obligations  based  on  legal  opinion/judicial 
precedents/assessment by the Bank.

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

The Bank enters into foreign exchange contracts in the normal course of its 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  customers  fail  to  fulfill  their  financial  or  performance 
obligations.

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

6.

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 amount transferred to RBI under the Depositor 
Education and Awareness Fund (DEAF), commitment towards contribution to venture 
fund, the amount that the Bank is obligated to pay under capital contracts and letter 
of  undertaking  and  indemnity  letters.  Capital  contracts  are  job  orders  of  a  capital 
nature which have been committed.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the break-up of income derived from insurance business.

  1.  Includes provision towards NPA amounting to ` 88,726.2 million (March 31, 2019: ` 170,969.1 million).
  2.   Includes general provision made towards standard assets, provision on fixed assets acquired under debt-asset swap and non-

fund based facilities.

 The  Bank  has  assessed  its  obligations  arising  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  including  pending  litigations, 
proceedings  pending  with  tax  authorities  and  other  contracts  including  derivative  and  long  term  contracts.  In 
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  AS  29  on  ‘Provisions,  Contingent  Liabilities  and  Contingent  Assets’,  the  Bank 
recognises a provision for material foreseeable losses when it 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.  In  cases  where  the  available  information  indicates  that  the  loss  on  the  contingency  is 
reasonably possible or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure to this effect is made as 
contingent liabilities in the financial statements. The Bank does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have 
a materially adverse effect on its financial results.

 During  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2019,  the  Bank  decided  to  exercise  the  option  of  lower  tax  rate 
available  under  Section  115BAA  of  the  Income  Tax  Act,  1961,  as  introduced  by  Taxation  Laws  (Amendment) 
Ordinance, 2019, with effect from the year ended March 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Bank has recognised the provision 
for income tax and re-measured the accumulated deferred tax asset at March 31, 2019 based on the rate prescribed 
under Section 115BAA. The resultant impact has been taken through the profit and loss account. The impact of this 
change on the tax expense for the year ended March 31, 2020, including both, the one-time additional charge due to  
re-measurement of accumulated deferred tax asset at March 31, 2019, and the tax expense at lower rate for the year 
ended March 31, 2020 was ` 13,905.8 million.

 The provision for income tax (including deferred tax) for the year ended March 31, 2020 amounted to ` 61,172.3 
million (March 31, 2019: ` 4,134.6 million). 

 The Bank has a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents required by transfer pricing 
legislation under section 92-92F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Bank is of the opinion that all transactions with 
international related parties and specified transactions with domestic related parties are primarily at arm’s length so 
that the above legislation does not have material impact on the financial statements.

44.  Deferred tax

 At March 31, 2020, the Bank has recorded net deferred tax assets of ` 80,681.2 million (March 31, 2019: ` 104,365.7

 1.   Includes three borrower accounts with outstanding of ` 7,948.7 million at March 31, 2018 accounted as fraud during the year 
ended March 31, 2018. The Bank made a provision of ` 2,894.5 million through profit and loss account and ` 5,054.2 million 
through balance in profit and loss account under ‘Reserves and Surplus’ during the year ended March 31, 2018. As permitted 
by RBI, provision made through balance in profit and loss account under ‘Reserves and Surplus’ was reversed and recognised 
through profit and loss account during the year ended March 31, 2019.

  2.  Excludes amount written off and interest reversal.

46.  Proposed dividend on equity shares 

 RBI through its circular ‘Declaration of dividends by banks (Revised)’ dated April 17, 2020, has directed that banks 
shall  not  make  any  further  dividend  payouts  from  the  profits  pertaining  to  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020  until 
further  instructions.  This  is  with  the  intent  that  the  banks  conserve  capital  to  retain  their  capacity  to  support  the 
economy  and  absorb  losses  in  an  environment  of  heightened  uncertainty  caused  by  Covid-19.  Accordingly,  the 
Board of Directors has not recommended dividend for the year ended March 31, 2020 (year ended March 31, 2019: 
` 1.00 per equity share). 

47.  Dividend distribution tax

 Dividend received from Indian subsidiaries, on which dividend distribution tax is paid by them and dividend received 
from overseas subsidiaries, on which tax is paid under section 115BBD of the Income Tax Act, 1961, are reduced 
from  dividend  to  be  distributed  by  the  Bank  for  the  purpose  of  computation  of  dividend  distribution  tax  as  per 
section 115-O of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

48.  Related party transactions

52.  Disclosure on Remuneration 

Compensation Policy and practices 

(A)   Qualitative Disclosures

a) 

Information relating to the bodies that oversee remuneration. 

•  Name, composition and mandate of the main body overseeing remuneration

 The Board Governance, Remuneration and Nomination Committee (BGRNC/Committee) is the body 
which oversees the remuneration aspects. The functions of the Committee include recommending 
appointments of Directors to the Board, identifying persons who are qualified to become Directors 
and  who  may  be  appointed  in  senior  management  in  accordance  with  the  criteria  laid  down  and 
recommending to the Board their appointment and removal, formulate a criteria for the evaluation of 
the performance of the whole time/ independent Directors and the Board and to extend or continue 
the term of appointment of independent Director on the basis of the report of performance evaluation 
of  independent  Directors,  recommending  to  the  Board  a  policy  relating  to  the  remuneration  for 
the  Directors,  Key  Managerial  Personnel  and  other  employees,  recommending  to  the  Board  the 
remuneration  (including  performance  bonus  and  perquisites)  to  wholetime  Directors  (WTDs)  and 
senior management, commission and fee payable to non-executive Directors subject to applicable 
regulations,  approving  the  policy  for  and  quantum  of  bonus  payable  to  members  of  the  staff 
including senior management and key managerial personnel, formulating the criteria for determining 
qualifications, positive attributes and independence of a Director, framing policy on Board diversity, 
framing guidelines for the Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) and decide on the grant of the 
Bank’s stock options to employees and WTDs of the Bank and its subsidiary companies.

• 

 External consultants whose advice has been sought, the body by which they were commissioned, 
and in what areas of the remuneration process

 During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Bank employed the services of a reputed consulting firm 
for market benchmarking in the area of compensation, including executive compensation. 

• 

 Scope of the Bank’s remuneration policy (eg. by regions, business lines), including the extent to 
which it is applicable to foreign subsidiaries and branches

 The Compensation Policy of the Bank, as last amended by the BGRNC and Board at their meetings 
held on October 26, 2019, covers all employees of the Bank, including those in overseas branches 
of the Bank. In addition to the Bank’s Compensation Policy guidelines, the overseas branches also 
adhere to relevant local regulations.

• 

Type of employees covered and number of such employees

 All employees of the Bank are governed by the Compensation Policy. The total number of permanent 
employees of the Bank at March 31, 2020 was 97,354.

b) 

 Information relating to the design and structure of remuneration processes 

• 

Key features and objectives of remuneration policy

 The  Bank  has  under  the  guidance  of  the  Board  and  the  BGRNC,  followed  compensation  practices 
intended to drive meritocracy within the framework of prudent risk management. This approach has 
been incorporated in the Compensation Policy, the key elements of which are given below.

o 

 Effective  governance  of  compensation:  The  BGRNC  has  oversight  over  compensation.  The 
Committee defines Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for WTDs and equivalent positions and the 
organisational performance norms for bonus based on the financial and strategic plan approved 
by the Board. The KPIs include both quantitative and qualitative aspects. The BGRNC assesses 
organisational  performance  and  based  on  its  assessment,  it  makes  recommendations  to  the 
Board  regarding  compensation  for  WTDs,  senior  management  and  equivalent  positions  and 
bonus for employees, including senior management and key management personnel.

o 

 Alignment of compensation philosophy with prudent risk taking: The Bank seeks to achieve a 
prudent mix of fixed and variable pay, with a higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels 
and no guaranteed bonuses. Compensation is sought to be aligned to both financial and non-
financial indicators of performance including aspects like risk management and customer service. 
In addition, the Bank has an employee stock option scheme aimed at aligning compensation to 
long term performance through stock option grants that vest over a period of time. Compensation 
of staff in financial and risk control functions is independent of the business areas they oversee 
and depends on their performance assessment.

• 

 Whether  the  remuneration  committee  reviewed  the  firm’s  remuneration  policy  during  the  past 
year, and if so, an overview of any changes that were made

 During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Bank’s Compensation Policy was reviewed by the BGRNC 
and the Board at their meetings held on May 6, 2019 and was later amended at their meetings held on 
July 27, 2019 and October 26, 2019. 

• 

 Discussion  of  how  the  Bank  ensures  that  risk  and  compliance  employees  are  remunerated 
independently of the businesses they oversee

 The compensation of staff engaged in control functions like Risk and Compliance depends on their 
performance, which is based on achievement of the key results of their respective functions. Their 
goal sheets do not include any business targets.

c) 

 Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration 
processes. 

• 

 Overview  of  the  key  risks  that  the  Bank  takes  into  account  when  implementing  remuneration 
measures

 The  Board  approves  the  risk  framework  for  the  Bank  and  the  business  activities  of  the  Bank  are 
undertaken  within  this  framework  to  achieve  the  financial  plan.  The  risk  framework  includes  the 
Bank’s risk appetite, limits framework and policies and procedures governing various types of risk. 
KPIs of WTDs & equivalent positions, as well as employees, incorporate relevant risk management 
related  aspects.  For  example,  in  addition  to  performance  targets  in  areas  such  as  risk  calibrated 
core  operating  profit  (profit  before  provisions  and  tax  excluding  treasury  income),  performance 
indicators include aspects such as asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above 
aspects while assessing organisational and individual performance and making compensation-related 
recommendations to the Board.

• 

 Overview of the nature and type of key measures used to take account of these risks, including risk 
difficult to measure

 The  annual  performance  targets  and  performance  evaluation  incorporate  both  qualitative  and 
quantitative aspects including asset quality and provisioning, risk management framework, stakeholder 
relationships and leadership development.

•  Discussion of the ways in which these measures affect remuneration

 Every year, the financial plan/targets are formulated in conjunction with a risk framework with limit 
structures  for  various  areas  of  risk/lines  of  business,  within  which  the  Bank  operates.  To  ensure 
effective alignment of compensation with prudent risk taking, the BGRNC takes into account adherence 
to  the  risk  framework  in  conjunction  with  which  the  financial  plan/targets  have  been  formulated. 
KPIs of WTDs and equivalent positions, as well as employees, incorporate relevant risk management 
related aspects. For example, in addition to performance targets in areas such as risk calibrated core 
operating profit, performance indicators include aspects such as asset quality. The BGRNC takes into 
consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational and individual performance and 
making compensation-related recommendations to the Board.

• 

 Discussion of how the nature and type of these measures have changed over the past year and 
reasons for the changes, as well as the impact of changes on remuneration.

 The nature and type of these measures have not changed over the past year and hence, there is no 
impact on remuneration. 

d) 

 Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to link performance during a performance 
measurement period with levels of remuneration

•  Overview of main performance metrics for Bank, top level business lines and individuals

 The main performance metrics includes risk calibrated core operating profit (profit before provisions 
and tax, excluding treasury income) asset quality metrics (such as additions to non-performing loans 
and recoveries and upgrades), regulatory compliance, risk management processes and stakeholder 
relationships. The specific metrics and weightages for various metrics vary with the role and level of 
the individual.

• 

 Discussion of how amounts of individual remuneration are linked to the Bank-wide and individual 
performance

 The  BGRNC  takes  into  consideration  above  mentioned  aspects  while  assessing  performance  and 
making compensation-related recommendations to the Board regarding the performance assessment 
of WTDs and equivalent positions. The performance assessment of individual employees is undertaken 
based  on  achievements  compared  to  their  goal  sheets,  which  incorporate  various  aspects/metrics 
described earlier.

• 

 Discussion  of  the  measures  the  Bank  will  in  general  implement  to  adjust  remuneration  in  the 
event  that  performance  metrics  are  weak,  including  the  Bank’s  criteria  for  determining  ‘weak’ 
performance metrics

 The  Bank’s  Compensation  Policy  outlines  the  measures  the  Bank  will  implement  in  the  event  of  a 
reasonable  evidence  of  deterioration  in  financial  performance.  Should  such  an  event  occur  in  the 
manner  outlined  in  the  policy,  the  BGRNC  may  decide  to  apply  malus  on  none,  part  or  all  of  the 
unvested deferred variable compensation.

e) 

 Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to adjust remuneration to take account of the longer 
term performance

• 

 Discussion of the Bank’s policy on deferral and vesting of variable remuneration and, if the fraction 
of  variable  remuneration  that  is  deferred  differs  across  employees  or  groups  of  employees,  a 
description of the factors that determine the fraction and their relative importance

 The quantum of bonus for an employee does not exceed a certain percentage (as stipulated in the 
compensation policy) of the total fixed pay in a year. Within this percentage, if the quantum of bonus 
exceeds a predefined threshold percentage of the total fixed pay, a part of the bonus is deferred and 
paid over a period. These thresholds for deferrals are same across employees. 

• 

 Discussion of the Bank’s policy and criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration before vesting and 
(if permitted by national law) after vesting through claw back arrangements

 The deferred portion of variable pay is subject to malus, under which the Bank would prevent vesting 
of all or part of the variable pay in the event of an enquiry determining gross negligence, breach of 
integrity or in the event of a reasonable evidence of deterioration in financial performance. In such 
cases, variable pay already paid out may also be subjected to clawback arrangements, as applicable. 

f) 

 Description of the different forms of variable remuneration that the Bank utilises and the rationale for 
using these different forms

• 

 Overview of the forms of variable remuneration offered. A discussion of the use of different forms 
of variable remuneration and, if the mix of different forms of variable remuneration differs across

employees or group of employees, a description of the factors that determine the mix and their 
relative importance

 The Bank pays performance linked retention pay (PLRP) to its front-line staff and junior management 
and performance bonus to its middle and senior management. PLRP aims to reward front line and 
junior  managers,  mainly  on  the  basis  of  skill  maturity  attained  through  experience  and  continuity 
in role which is a key differentiator for customer service. The Bank also pays variable pay to sales 
officers and relationship managers in wealth management roles while ensuring that such pay-outs are 
in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. 

 The Bank ensures higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and lower variable pay for front-
line staff and junior management levels.

Payment of compensation in the form of profit related commission to the non-executive directors

 The  Board  at  its  meeting  held  on  September  16,  2015  and  the  shareholders  at  their  meeting  held  on  July

non-executive  Director  of  the  Bank  (excluding  government  nominee  and  part-time  Chairman)  subject  to  the 
availability of net profits at the end of each financial year. 

 The Bank accordingly recognised an amount of ` 7.0 million as profit related commission payable to the non-
executive  Directors  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020,  subject  to  requisite  approvals.  During  the  year

57.  Impact of Covid-19 on the performance of the Bank

 Since the first quarter of CY2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted most of the countries, including India. This 
resulted  in  countries  announcing  lockdown  and  quarantine  measures  that  sharply  stalled  economic  activity.  The 
Government of India initiated a nation-wide lockdown from March 25, 2020 for three weeks which was extended to 
May 18, 2020 in two phases. Several countries took unprecedented fiscal and monetary actions to help alleviate the

impact of the crisis. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced several measures to ease the financial system 
stress, including enhancing system liquidity, moratorium of three months on loan repayments for specific borrower 
segments,  asset  classification  standstill  benefit  to  overdue  accounts  where  a  moratorium  has  been  granted  and 
relaxation in liquidity coverage requirement, among others.

 The Indian economy would be impacted by this pandemic with contraction in industrial and services output across 
small and large businesses. The Bank’s business is expected to be impacted by lower lending opportunities and 
revenues  in  the  short  to  medium  term.  The  impact  of  the  Covid-19  pandemic  on  Bank’s  results,  including  credit 
quality  and  provisions,  remains  uncertain  and  dependent  on  the  spread  of  Covid-19,  further  steps  taken  by  the 
government and the central bank to mitigate the economic impact, steps taken by the Bank and the time it takes 
for  economic  activities  to  resume  at  normal  levels.  The  Bank’s  capital  and  liquidity  position  is  strong  and  would 
continue to be the focus area for the Bank during this period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of 
ICICI Bank Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion 

1. 

2. 

3. 

 We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  ICICI  Bank  Limited  (‘the  Bank’  or  ‘the 
Holding Company’), its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as ‘the Group’), 
and its associates, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2020, the Consolidated Profit 
and Loss Account, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

 In  our  opinion  and  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according  to  the  explanations  given  to  us  and  based  on 
the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial 
information of the branches, subsidiaries, and associates, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the 
information required by the section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, as well as the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act’) 
and circulars and guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India, 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, including the 
Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act, read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 
2014 (as amended), of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and its associates as at 31 March 2020, their 
consolidated profit, and their consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

 We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act. 
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of 
the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its associates, in 
accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’), together with 
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements under the provisions 
of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these 
requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence 
obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in paragraphs 17 through 19 of the other matters 
section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

  Emphasis of Matter

4. 

 We draw attention to Schedule 18.18 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which describes the 
uncertainties due to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19). In view of these uncertainties, the impact on the 
Group’s results is significantly dependent on future developments.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

  Key Audit Matters

5. 

 Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, and based on the consideration of the reports 
of the other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the subsidiaries and 
associates, were of most significance in  our audit of the consolidated  financial statements of  the current period. 
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and 
in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

6.  We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

a. 

Information Technology (‘IT’) systems and controls impacting financial reporting in relation to the Bank

Key Audit Matter

How the key audit matter was addressed

In assessing the integrity of the IT systems relevant for 
financial reporting, we involved our IT experts to obtain 
an understanding of the IT infrastructure and IT systems 
relevant  to  the  Bank’s  financial  reporting  process  for 
evaluation  and  testing  of  relevant  IT  general  controls 
and IT application controls.

Access rights were tested over applications, operating 
systems,  networks,  and  databases,  which  are  relied 
upon  for  financial  reporting.  We  also  assessed  the 
operating  effectiveness  of  controls  over  granting, 
removal  and  periodical  review  of  access  rights. 
We  further  tested  segregation  of  duties,  including 
preventive  controls  to  ensure  that  access  to  change 
applications,  the  operating  system  or  databases  in 
the  production  environment  were  granted  only  to 
authorized personnel.

Other  areas  that  were  assessed  under  the  IT  control 
environment,  included  password  policies,  security 
configurations,  business  continuity  and  controls 
around change management. 

We also evaluated the design and tested the operating 
effectiveness of key automated controls within various 
business processes. This included testing the integrity 
of  system  interfaces,  the  completeness  and  accuracy 
of  data  feeds,  system  reconciliation  controls  and 
automated calculations.

Where  deficiencies  were 
tested 
compensating  controls  or  performed  alternate 
procedures.

identified,  we 

The  IT  environment  of  the  Bank  is  complex  and 
involves  a  large  number  of  independent  and  inter-
dependent  IT  systems  used  in  the  operations  of  the 
Bank  for  processing  and  recording  a  large  volume  of 
transactions at numerous locations. As a result, there 
is a high degree of reliance and dependency on such IT 
systems for the financial reporting process of the Bank. 
Appropriate IT general controls and application controls 
are required to ensure that such IT systems are able to 
process  the  data,  as  required,  completely,  accurately 
and consistently for reliable financial reporting. 

The  accuracy  and  reliability  of  the  financial  reporting 
process  depends  on  the  IT  systems  and  the  related 
control environment, including:

	    IT  general 

controls  over  user 

access 
management  and  change  management  across 
applications, networks, database, and operating 
systems; and

	    IT application controls.

Due to the importance of the impact of the IT systems 
and related control environment on the Bank’s financial 
reporting process, we have identified testing of such IT 
systems and related control environment as a key audit 
matter for the current year audit.

b. 

Identification and provisioning for non-performing assets (‘NPAs’) in relation to the Bank

 As at 31 March 2020, the Group has reported total loans and advances (net of provisions) of ` 7,062,461 million 
(2019: ` 6,469,617 million) of which ` 6,452,900 million* (2019: ` 5,866,466 million*) relates to the Bank.

(Refer schedule 9) 

* the amounts relating to the Bank are before consolidation adjustments including intercompany eliminations, if any.

Key Audit Matter

How the key audit matter was addressed

The  identification  of  NPAs  and  provisioning  for 
advances is made in accordance with the extant RBI 
regulations or host country regulations, in the case of 
international branches. Based on our risk assessment, 
the  following  are  significant  in  assessment  of  the 
NPA provisions:

	    Recognition  of  defaults,  in  accordance  with 
the criteria set out in the RBI Prudential norms 
on  Income  Recognition,  Asset  Classification 
and  Provisioning  pertaining  to  Advances 
(IRAC norms) or in accordance with the host 
country regulations, as applicable. Further, the 
Bank  is  also  required  to  apply  its  judgement 
to  determine  the  identification  of  NPAs  by 
applying certain qualitative aspects;

	    The  measurement  of  provision  under  RBI 
guidelines  is  dependent  on  the  ageing  of 
overdue balances, secured / unsecured status 
of  advances,  stress  and  liquidity  concerns 
in  certain  sectors  and  valuation  of  collateral. 
The  provision  on  NPAs  at  certain  overseas 
branches requires estimation of amounts and 
timing of expected future cash flows and exit 
values.

Due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, during our 
audit, we have also identified implementation of the 
COVID  19  Regulatory  Package-  Asset  Classification 
and  Provisioning  (‘Regulatory  Package’)  announced 
by the RBI on 17 April 2020 as key in measurement of 
provisions for advances.

Considering the significance of the above matter to 
the  financial  statements,  the  heightened  regulatory 
inspections and significant auditor attention required, 
we have identified this as a key audit matter for the 
current year audit.

We  understood  the  process  and  controls  and  tested 
the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  key  controls, 
including IT based controls, focusing on the following:

	    Identification and classification of NPAs in line with 

RBI IRAC norms and certain qualitative aspects; 

	   Periodic internal reviews of asset quality; 

	   Assessment of adequacy of NPA provisions; and

	   Periodic valuation of collateral for NPAs.

To test the identification of loans with default events and 
other triggers, we selected a sample of performing loans 
and  independently  assessed  as  to  whether  there  was  a 
need to classify such loans as NPAs.

With  respect  to  provisions  recognised  towards  NPAs, 
we selected samples based on high risk industry sectors 
identified  by  the  Bank,  such  as  shipping,  rigs,  power, 
mining,  and  oil  and  gas  exploration.  For  the  samples 
selected,  we  re-performed  the  provision  calculations, 
including  valuation  of  collaterals,  and  compared  our 
outcome  to  that  prepared  by  the  management  and 
challenged various assumptions and judgements which 
were used by the management. We also held discussions 
with the management of the Bank on high risk industry 
sectors  and  measures  taken  by  the  management  to 
monitor to such assets. 

We  read  the  RBI  Annual  Financial  Inspection  report 
for  the  financial  year  ended  31  March  2019  and  other 
communication with the regulators.

With respect to those borrowers to whom a moratorium 
was granted in accordance with the Regulatory Package, 
on a sample basis, we tested that such moratorium was 
granted in accordance with the board approved policy. We 
re-performed  the  calculations  for  the  additional  general 
provision made in accordance with the requirements of 
the Regulatory Package, including the asset classification.

We  assessed  the  appropriateness  and  adequacy  of 
disclosures  against  the  relevant  accounting  standards 
and  RBI  requirements  relating  to  NPAs,  including  the 
additional disclosures required to be made in accordance 
with the Regulatory Package.

Key Audit Matter

As at 31 March 2020, the Bank has ongoing legal and tax 
cases with varied degrees of complexities. This indicates 
that  a  significant  degree  of  management  judgement 
is  involved  in  determining  the  appropriateness  of 
provisions and related disclosures.

judgement 

is  needed 

Significant  management 
in 
determining whether an obligation exists and whether 
a  provision  should  be  recognised  as  at  the  reporting 
date,  in  accordance  with  the  accounting  criteria  set 
under Accounting Standard 29 - Provisions, Contingent 
Liabilities and Contingent Assets (‘AS 29’), or whether it 
needs to be disclosed as a contingent liability. Further, 
significant judgements are also involved in measuring 
such obligations, the most significant of which are: 

	    Assessment  of  liability:  Judgement  is  involved 
in  the  determination  of  whether  an  outflow 
in  respect  of  identified  material  matters  are 
probable and can be estimated reliably;

	    Adequacy  of  provisions:  The  appropriateness 
of  assumptions  and  judgements  used  in  the 
estimation of significant provisions; and 

	    Adequacy  of  disclosures  of  provision 

for 
liabilities and charges, and contingent liabilities.

Considering the significance of the above matter to the 
financial  statements,  and  significant  auditor  attention 
required to test such estimates, we have identified this 
as a key audit matter for the current year audit.

246

How the key audit matter was addressed

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, 
the following:

We understood the Bank’s processes and controls over 
the estimation, monitoring and disclosure of provisions 
and contingent liabilities. 

For  significant  legal  matters,  we  sought  external 
confirmations  and  also  reviewed  the  confirmations 
obtained  by  the  management  from  external  legal 
counsels  and  corroborated  with  management’s 
documented  conclusions  on 
the  assessment  of 
outstanding litigations against the Bank. 

In  respect  of  taxation  matters,  we  involved  our  tax 
specialists  to  gain  an  understanding  of  the  current 
status  of  the  outstanding  tax  litigations,  including 
understanding of various orders / notices received by 
the  Bank  and  the  management’s  grounds  of  appeals 
before the relevant appellate authorities, and critically 
evaluated 
the 
likelihood  of  the  liability  devolving  upon  the  Bank,  in 
accordance with the principles of AS 29. 

the  management’s  assessment  of 

For  the  significant  provisions  made,  we  understood, 
assessed  and  challenged  the  adequacy  of  provisions 
recognised  by  the  management.  We  also  reviewed 
the historical accuracy of the provisions recognised to 
determine the efficacy of the process of estimation by 
the management. 

Further,  we  assessed  whether  the  disclosures  related 
to  significant  litigation  and  taxation  matters  were 
appropriate  and  adequate  in  terms  of  whether  the 
potential  liabilities  and  the  significant  uncertainties 
were fairly presented.

 d.  Valuation of derivatives in relation to the Bank

As  at  31  March  2020,  the  Group  has  reported  notional  value  of  derivatives  of  `  28,417,030  million  (2019:

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Derivatives  are  valued  through  models  with  external 
inputs.  The  derivatives  portfolio  of  the  Bank  primarily 
includes  transactions  which  are  carried  out  on  behalf 
of its clients (and are covered on a back-to-back basis) 
and  transactions  to  hedge  the  Bank’s  interest  and 
foreign currency risk. 

A  significant  degree  of  management  judgement  is 
involved  in  the  application  of  valuation  techniques 
through  which  the  value  of  the  Bank’s  derivatives 
is  determined.  The  financial  statement  risk  arises 
particularly with respect to complex valuation models, 
parameters,  and  inputs  that  are  used  in  determining 
fair values.

Considering the significance of the above matter to the 
financial statements, significant management estimates 
and judgements, and auditor attention required to test 
such estimates and judgements, we have identified this 
as a key audit matter for current year audit.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, 
the following:

We included our valuation experts as a part of our audit 
team to obtain an understanding, evaluate the design, 
and test the operating effectiveness of the key controls 
over the valuation processes, including:

	    independent  price  verification  performed  by  a 

management expert; and

	    model governance and validation. 

On  a  sample  basis,  our  valuation  experts  performed 
an  independent  reassessment  of  the  valuation  of 
derivatives,  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  relevant 
RBI  regulations,  reasonableness  of  the  valuation 
methodology and the inputs used. We also challenged 
the  appropriateness  of  significant  models  and 
methodologies used in valuation.

 The joint auditors, Walker Chandiok & Co. LLP, Chartered Accountants, and B S R & Co LLP, Chartered Accountants, 
of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, vide their audit report dated 25 April 2020, have expressed an 
unmodified opinion on the financial statements. Based on consideration of their report, we have determined the 
matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report:

a. 

Information technology systems relating to ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited

Key Audit Matter

How the key audit matter was addressed

The Company’s key financial accounting and reporting 
processes  such  as  Premium  income,  Benefits  paid, 
Investments amongst others are highly dependent on 
information  systems  including  automated  controls, 
such that there exists a risk that gaps in the IT control 
environment  could  result  in  the  financial  accounting 
and reporting records being misstated. The Company 
uses several systems for its overall financial reporting 
process. 

Further,  the  prevailing  COVID-19  situation  has  caused 
the  required  IT  applications  to  be  made  accessible  to 
the employees on a remote basis.

 Assessing the impact of Pandemic COVID 19 on the financial statements and internal control processes of 
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited

Key Audit Matter

How the key audit matter was addressed

The  pandemic  has  created  huge  uncertainties  on 
the  operations  of  many  established  businesses 
and  exposed  them  to  several  new  risks.  Due  to  this, 
organizations  have  had  to  make  significant  changes 
to their normal processes to adapt to this sudden and 
unexpected  turn  of  situation.  These  changes  could 
impact  the  measurement  of  assets  and  liabilities  on 
varying degree.

Due  to  COVID-19,  the  Company  is  also  exposed  to 
various  risks  such  as  assessment  of  counter  parties’ 
risks for receivables, receipt of timely data from parties 
including  reinsurers/  coinsurers,  operational  controls, 
compliance and several other risks.

In  view  of  the  estimation  uncertainties  involved  this 
was considered as a key audit matter.

Audit procedures included the following:

	    Looked  at 

the  company’s  exhaustive  risk 
identification  and  mitigation  analysis  using  its 
well  established  enterprise  risk  management 
framework  to  understand  the 
implications, 
assessment process and the company’s current 
mitigation plans.

     Assessment  of  risks  of  counter  party  defaults 
by examining external credit rating movements, 
if  any  and  the  process  of  identification  of  risky 
receivables  and  making  suitable  provisions  in 
the financial statements.

     Assessment  of  the  temporary  changes  made 
to the internal control framework over financial 
reporting  and  carrying  suitable  tests  for  the 
effectiveness  of  key  controls  on  the  balance 
sheet date.

     Evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the

Information other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report thereon 

 The Holding Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises 
the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Directors’ Report, including annexures to the 
Directors’ Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

 Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial 
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the 
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required 
to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

9. 

 The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with 
respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated 
financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Bank, in accordance with 
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards prescribed under section 

251

Financial StatementsIntegrated ReportStatutory Reports 
 
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

133 of the Act read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (as amended) and provisions of section 
29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and circulars and guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’) from 
time to time. Further, in terms of the Act, the respective Board of Directors of the companies and the trustees of 
the  trusts  included  in  the  Group  and  of  its  associates  covered  under  the  Act,  are  responsible  for  maintenance 
of  adequate  accounting  records  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Act,  for  safeguarding  of  the  assets  of 
the  Group  and  of  its  associates  and  for  preventing  and  detecting  frauds  and  other  irregularities;  selection  and 
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 
and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively 
for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation 
of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  that  give  a  true  and  fair  view  and  are  free  from  material  misstatement, 
whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  These  financial  statements  have  been  used  for  the  purpose  of  preparation  of  the 
consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

10.   In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  management  is  responsible  for  assessing  the  Group’s  ability 
to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  using  the  going 
concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or 
has no realistic alternative but to do so.

11.   The  respective  Board  of  Directors  of  the  companies  and  the  trustees  of  trusts  included  in  the  Group  are  also 

responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

12.   Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes 
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can 
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

13.   As  part  of  an  audit  in  accordance  with  Standards  on  Auditing,  we  exercise  professional  judgment  and  maintain 

professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• 

• 

• 

• 

 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is 
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional 
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate  in  the  circumstances.  Under  section  143(3)(i)  of  the  Act,  we  are  also  responsible  for  explaining 
our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the 
operating effectiveness of such controls.

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by management.

 Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based 
on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or  conditions  that 
may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  ability  of  the  Group  and  its  associates  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.  If 
we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are  required  to  draw  attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to 
the  related  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to 
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or its associates to cease to continue as a  
going concern.

events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  results/  financial  information/  financial 
statements of the entities within the Group and its associates, to express an opinion on the financial statements. 
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such

included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other 
auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. 
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

14.   We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  regarding,  among  other  matters,  the  planned  scope  and 
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit.

15.   We  also  provide  those  charged  with  governance  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

16.   From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of 
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key 
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report, unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure 
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated 
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public 
interest benefits of such communication.

ANNEXURE A to the Independent Auditor’s Report of even date to the members of ICICI Bank 

Limited on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020

1. 

 Independent Auditor’s Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements 
under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)
 In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of ICICI Bank Limited (‘the Holding Company’ 
or ‘the Bank’) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries, together referred to as ‘the Group’), 
and its associates as at and for the year ended 31 March 2020, we have audited the internal financial controls with 
reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, and its associate companies, 
which are companies covered under the Act, as at that date. 

  Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. 

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

 Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial 
Statements
 Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of 
the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, and its associate companies, as aforesaid, based on our audit. We 
conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants 
of India (‘ICAI’) and deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of 
internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, and the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial 
Controls Over Financial Reporting (‘the Guidance Note’) issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note 
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about  whether  adequate  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  financial  statements  were  established  and 
maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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

 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms 
of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraphs, below are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company, 
its subsidiary companies, and its associate companies as aforesaid.

  Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
6. 

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

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Financial Statements
 Owing to the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the 
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud 
may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference 
to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to 

7.

ANNEXURE A (Contd.)

9. 

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

Opinion
 In our opinion and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on internal financial controls with 
reference to financial statements of the subsidiary companies and associate companies, the Holding Company, its 
subsidiary companies, and its associate companies, which are companies covered under the Act, have in all material 
respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such controls were operating 
effectively as at 31 March 2020, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria 
established  by  the  Group,  considering  the  essential  components  of  internal  control  stated  in  the  Guidance  Note 
issued by the ICAI.

Other matters
 The auditors of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited have reported, ‘The actuarial valuation of liabilities 
for life policies in force and policies where premium is discontinued but liability exists as at 31 March 2020 has been 
certified  by  the  Appointed  Actuary  as  per  the  IRDA  Financial  Statements  Regulations,  and  has  been  relied  upon 
by us, as mentioned in para “Other Matters” of our audit report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 
March 2020. Accordingly, our opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements does 
not include reporting on the operating effectiveness of the management’s internal controls over the valuation and 
accuracy of the aforesaid actuarial valuation’.

10. 

 The auditors of ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited have reported, ‘The actuarial valuation of liabilities 
in respect of Incurred But Not Reported (the “IBNR”), Incurred But Not Enough Reported (the “IBNER”) and Premium 
Deficiency Reserve (the “PDR”) is the responsibility of the Company’s Panel Actuary (the “Panel Actuary”). The actuarial 
valuation of these liabilities, that are estimated using statistical methods as at 31 March 2020 has been duly certified by 
the Panel Actuary and in his opinion, the assumptions considered by him for such valuation are in accordance with the 
guidelines and norms issued by the IRDAI and the Institute of Actuaries of India in concurrence with the IRDAI.

 The said actuarial valuations of liabilities for outstanding claims reserves and the PDR have been relied upon by us as 
mentioned in “Other Matters” paragraph in our Audit Report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 
2020. Accordingly, our opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting does not include reporting 
on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over the valuation and accuracy of the 
aforesaid actuarial liabilities’.

11.   We  did  not  audit  the  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  financial  statements  in  so  far  as  it  relates  to  12 
subsidiaries, which are companies covered under the Act, whose financials reflect total assets of ` 754,275 million 
as at 31 March 2020 and total revenue, total net profit after tax, and net cash outflows of ` 191,088 million, ` 29,566 
million, and ` 12,949 million, respectively, for the year ended on that date. 

12.   We have jointly audited with another auditor, the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 
of a subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets of ` 1,558,623 million as at 31 March 2020 and total 
revenue, total net profit after tax, and net cash inflows of ` 397,042 million, ` 10,687 million, and ` 8,460 million, 
respectively, for the year ended on that date. 

13.   The  consolidated  financial  statements  also  include  the  Group’s  share  of  net  profit  of  `  1,097  million  for  the  year 
ended 31 March 2020, in respect of 1 associate, which is a company covered under the Act, whose internal financial 
controls with reference to financial statements has not been audited by us. 

14.   Our report on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial 
statements for the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies, and its associate companies, as aforesaid, under 
Section 143(3)(i) of the Act in so far as it relates to such subsidiary companies, and associate company, is based 
solely on the reports of the auditors of such companies. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the matters with 
respect to our reliance on the work done by and on the reports of the other auditors.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Overview

ICICI Bank Limited, 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. 

ICICI Bank Limited (the Bank), incorporated in Vadodara, India is a publicly held 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, through subsidiaries and other consolidating entities, more than 
50.00%  of  the  voting  rights  or  where  it  exercises  control,  over  the  composition  of  board  of  directors/governing  body, 
are  fully  consolidated  on  a  line-by-line  basis  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  AS  21  on  ‘Consolidated  Financial 
Statements’. Investments in entities where the Bank 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  or  entities  which  operate 
under severe long-term restrictions that impair their ability to transfer funds to parent/investing entity. 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 of India 
(IRDAI),  National  Housing  Bank  (NHB)  from  time  to  time  and  the  Accounting  Standards  notified  under  Section  133  of 
the Companies Act, 2013 read together with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, as applicable to relevant 
companies  and  practices  generally  prevalent  in  the  banking  industry  in  India.  In  the  case  of  the  foreign  subsidiaries, 
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as applicable to the respective 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 in the respective accounting policy. 

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. 
Actual results could differ from these estimates. The impact of any revision in these estimates is recognised prospectively 
from the period of change.

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 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, offshore banking units, foreign subsidiaries) 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) relevant to the balance sheet date 
and the resulting gains/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 relevant closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date and the resulting gains/
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. Pursuant to RBI guideline, the Bank does not recognise the 
cumulative/proportionate amount of such exchange differences as income or expenses, which relate to repatriation 
of accumulated retained earnings from overseas 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 relevant to the balance sheet date.

has been extended for payments of principal and/or interest as per RBI guideline dated March 27, 2020, 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/other applicable guidelines. 

b) 

 Income from finance 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. 

c)

linked business, premium is recognised when the associated units are created. Premium on lapsed policies is 
recognised as income when such policies are reinstated. Top-up premiums paid by unit linked policyholders’ 
are considered as single premium and recognised as income when the associated units are created. Income 
from unit linked policies, which includes fund management charges, policy administration charges, mortality 
charges  and  other  charges,  if  any,  are  recovered  from  the  linked  funds  in  accordance  with  the  terms  and 
conditions of the policy and are recognised when due.

 In case of general insurance business, premium including reinsurance accepted (net of Goods & Services Tax) 
other than for long-term (with term more than one year) motor insurance policies for new cars and new two 
wheelers  sold  on  or  after  September  1,  2018  is  recorded  on  receipt  of  complete  information,  for  the  policy 
period at the commencement of risk. For crop insurance, the premium is accounted based on management 
estimates that are progressively actualised on receipt of information. For installment cases, premium is recorded 
on  installment  due  dates.  Reinstatement  premium  is  recorded  as  and  when  such  premiums  are  recovered. 
Premium earned including reinstatement premium and re-insurance accepted 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 other

over the remaining period of risk or contract period, as applicable.

 In case of long-term motor insurance policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or after September 
1, 2018, premium received (net of Goods & Services Tax) for third party liability coverage is recognised equally 
over the policy period at the commencement of risk on 1/n basis where ‘n’ denotes the term of the policy in 
years and premium received for own damage coverage is recognised in accordance with movement of Insured 
Declared  Value  (IDV)  over  the  period  of  risk,  on  receipt  of  complete  information.  Reinstatement  premium  is 
recorded as and when such premiums are recovered. Premium allocated for the year is recognised as income 
earned based on 1/365 method, on a gross basis. Reinstatement premium is allocated on the same basis as 
the original premium over the balance term of the policy. Any subsequent revisions to premium as and when 
they  occur  are  recognised  on  the  same  basis  as  the  original  premium  over  the  balance  term  of  the  policy. 
Adjustments to premium income arising on cancellation of policies are recognised in the period in which the 
policies are cancelled. Adjustments to premium income for corrections to area covered under crop insurance

motor insurance policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or after September 1, 2018 is recognised

3.  Stock based compensation

The following entities within the group have granted stock options to their employees:

• 
• 
• 
• 

ICICI Bank Limited
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited
ICICI Securities Limited

 The Employees Stock Option Scheme (the Scheme) of the Bank provides for grant of options on the Bank’s equity 
shares 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.  ICICI  Prudential  Life  Insurance  Company  Limited,  ICICI  Lombard  General 
Insurance Company Limited and ICICI Securities Limited have also formulated similar stock option schemes for their 
employees for grant of equity shares of their respective companies.

 The Group, except the overseas banking subsidiaries, 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 and amortised over the vesting period. The fair 
market price is the latest closing price, immediately prior to the grant date, which is generally the date of the meeting 
of the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee or other relevant committee in which the options 
are  granted,  on  the  stock  exchange  on  which  the  shares  of  the  Bank,  ICICI  Prudential  Life  Insurance  Company 
Limited, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited and ICICI Securities Limited 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.

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 Accounting Standard 22 - Accounting for Taxes on Income respectively. Deferred tax adjustments 
comprise changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial Statements 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised by considering the impact of timing differences between taxable 
income and accounting income for the current year, and carry forward losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. 
The impact of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account. 

 Deferred tax assets are recognised and re-assessed at each reporting date, based upon the management’s judgement 
as to whether their realisation is considered as reasonably certain. However, in case of domestic companies, 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.

 Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset to the extent there is convincing evidence that the 
Group will pay normal income tax during specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be 
carried forward as per prevailing provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. In accordance with the recommendation 
contained in the guidance note issued by ICAI, MAT credit is to be recognised as an asset in the year in which it 
becomes eligible for set off against normal income tax. The Group reviews MAT credit entitlements at each balance 
sheet date and writes down the carrying amount to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect 
that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

5.  Claims and benefits paid

 In the case of general insurance business, claims incurred comprise claims paid, estimated liability for outstanding 
claims  made  following  a  loss  occurrence  reported  and  estimated  liability  for  claims  incurred  but  not  reported 
(IBNR) and claims incurred but not enough reported (IBNER). Further, claims incurred also include specific claim 
settlement costs such as survey/legal fees and other directly attributable costs. Claims (net of amounts receivable 
from re-insurers/co-insurers) are recognised on the date of intimation based on internal management estimates or 
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 and includes provision for solatium fund. Salvaged stock is recognised 
at  estimated  net  realisable  value  based  on  independent  valuer’s  report.  Estimated  liability  for  outstanding  claim 
is determined by the management on the basis of ultimate amounts likely to be paid on each claim based on the 
past experience and in cases where claim payment period exceeds four years based on actuarial valuation. 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 that have been incurred but are not enough 
reported (IBNER). The provision for claims IBNR/claims IBNER is based on an actuarial estimate duly certified by the 
Appointed/Panel Actuary of the entity. The actuarial estimate is derived in accordance with relevant IRDAI regulations 
and Guidance Note GN 21 issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India.

 In the case of life insurance business, benefits paid comprise policy benefits and claim settlement costs, if any. Death 
and rider claims are accounted for on receipt of intimation. Survival and maturity benefits are accounted when due. 
Withdrawals and surrenders under non linked policies are accounted on the receipt of intimation. Claim settlement 
cost, legal and other fees should also form part of claim cost wherever applicable. Reinsurance claims receivable are 
accounted for in the period in which the claim is intimated. Repudiated claims and other claims disputed before the 
judicial authorities are provided for on prudent basis as considered appropriate by the management.

6.  Liability for life policies in force

 In the case of life insurance business, the liabilities for life policies in force are calculated in accordance with accepted 
actuarial  practice,  requirements  of  Insurance  Act,  1938  (amended  by  Insurance  Laws  (Amendment)  Act,  2015) 
and  regulations  notified  by  the  Insurance  Regulatory  and  Development  Authority  of  India  and  Actuarial  Practice 
Standards of the Institute of Actuaries of India.

7.  Reserve for unexpired risk

 Reserve for unexpired risk is recognised net of re-insurance ceded and represents premium written that is attributable 
to, and is to be allocated to succeeding accounting periods. For fire, marine, cargo and miscellaneous business it is 
calculated on a daily pro-rata basis, except in the case of marine hull business which is computed at 100.00% of net 
premium written on all unexpired policies at balance sheet date.

8.  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,  morbidity,  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.

 The liability for the unexpired portion of the risk for the non-unit liabilities of linked business and attached riders is 
the higher of liability calculated using discounted cash flows and unearned premium reserves. 

 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.

 An unexpired risk reserve and a reserve in respect of claims incurred but not reported are created, for one year 
renewable group term insurance.

 The interest rates used for valuing the liabilities are in the range of 4.25% to 6.59% per annum (previous year – 
4.44% to 6.48% per annum). 

 Mortality rates used are based on the published “Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-2014) Ult.” 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 but with an allowance for any expected worsening. Per policy renewal expenses for regular premium 
policies are assumed to inflate at 4.05% per annum (previous year – 4.19%).

9.  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 except for commission on long term motor insurance 
policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or after September 1, 2018. In case of long term motor insurance 
policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or after September 1, 2018 commission is expensed at the 
applicable rates on the premium allocated for the year. 

10.  Employee benefits

Gratuity

 The  Group  pays  gratuity,  a  defined  benefit  plan,  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.  The  Group  makes  contribution  to  trusts  which  administer  the  funds  on  their  own  account  or  through 
insurance companies.

The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

 Actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability is determined by an actuary appointed by the Group. 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 and National Pension Scheme

 The Bank contributes 15.0% of the total annual basic salary or an amount of ` 0.15 million for certain employees 
to  superannuation  funds,  a  defined  contribution  plan,  managed  and  administered  by  insurance  companies.  
ICICI  Prudential  Life  Insurance  Company  Limited,  ICICI  Prudential  Asset  Management  Company  Limited,  and  
ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited have accrued for superannuation liability based on a percentage 
of basic salary payable to eligible employees for the period of service. 

 The  Group  contributes  10.0%  of  the  total  basic  salary  of  certain  employees  to  National  Pension  Scheme  (NPS), 
a  defined  contribution  plan,  which  is  managed  and  administered  by  pension  fund  management  companies.  The 
Group also gives an option to its employees allowing them to receive the amount in lieu of such contributions along 
with their monthly salary during their employment.

 The amounts so contributed/paid by the Group to the superannuation fund and NPS or to employees during the year 
are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Pension

 The Bank provides for pension, a defined benefit plan covering eligible employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura, 
erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan. The Bank makes contribution to a trust which administers 
the funds on its own account or through insurance companies. 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. 

 Actuarial valuation of the pension liability 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.

The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

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, a defined benefit plan, as a part of retirement benefits 
to its employees. Each employee contributes a certain percentage of his or her basic salary and the Group contributes 
an equal amount for eligible employees. The Group makes contribution as required by The Employees’ Provident 
Funds  and  Miscellaneous  Provisions  Act,  1952  to  Employees’  Pension  Scheme  administered  by  the  Regional 
Provident Fund Commissioner and the balance contributions are transferred to funds administered by trustees. 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 Group.

 The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

 The overseas branches of the Bank and its eligible employees contribute a certain percentage of their salary towards 
respective government schemes as per local regulatory guidelines. The contribution made by the overseas branches 
is recognised in profit and loss account at the time of contribution.

Compensated absences

The Group provides for compensated absences 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 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 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.

 The  Bank  estimates  the  probability  of  redemption  of  customer  loyalty  reward  points  using  an  actuarial  method  
by  employing  an  independent  actuary  and  accordingly  makes  provision  for  these  reward  points.  Actuarial  
valuation is determined based on certain assumptions regarding mortality rate, discount rate, cancellation rate and 
redemption rate.

12.  Cash and cash equivalents

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

13.  Investments

i) 

 Investments  of  the  Bank  are  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  the  extant  RBI  guidelines  on  investment 
classification and valuation as given below.

a) 

b) 

c) 

 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  the  RBI  guidelines.  Under  each 
classification,  the  investments  are  further  categorised  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  closing  quotes  on  the 
recognised stock exchanges or prices declared by Primary Dealers Association of India (PDAI) jointly with 
Fixed  Income  Money  Market  and  Derivatives  Association  (FIMMDA)/Financial  Benchmark  India  Private 
Limited (FBIL), 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/FBIL. The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities, including Pass 
Through Certificates, 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. The 
sovereign foreign securities and non-INR India linked bonds are valued on the basis of prices published by 
the sovereign regulator or counterparty quotes. 

 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.  Depreciation/appreciation  on  securities,  other  than  those  acquired  by 
way of conversion of outstanding loans, is aggregated for each category. Net appreciation in each category 
under each investment classification, if any, being unrealised, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided 
for. The depreciation on securities acquired by way of conversion of outstanding loan is fully provided for. 
Non-performing investments are identified based on the RBI guidelines.

f) 

g) 

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

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

 Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition, are 
charged to the profit and loss account. Cost of investments is computed based on the First-In-First-Out 
(FIFO) method.

 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.

h) 

 Market repurchase, reverse repurchase and transactions with RBI under Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) 
are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. 

i) 

j) 

k) 

l) 

 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.

 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. The security receipts 
which are outstanding and not redeemed as at the end of the resolution period are treated as loss assets 
and are fully provided for.

 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.

 The Bank undertakes short sale transactions in dated central government securities in accordance with RBI 
guidelines. The short positions are categorised under HFT category and are marked-to-market. The mark-
to-market loss is charged to profit and loss account and gain, if any, is ignored as per RBI guidelines.

 The  Bank’s  consolidating  venture  capital  fund  carries  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. 

 The Bank’s primary dealership and securities broking subsidiaries classify the securities held with the intention 
of holding for short-term and trading as stock-in-trade which are valued at lower of cost or market value. The 
securities classified by primary dealership subsidiary as held-to-maturity, as permitted by RBI, are carried at 
amortised 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.

 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 their acquisition cost or at amortised

cost,  if  acquired  at  a  premium  over  the  face  value.  Any  premium  over  the  face  value  of  the  securities  
acquired is amortised over the remaining period to maturity on a constant yield basis. However, a provision 
for diminution in value is made to recognise any other than temporary decline in the value of such long-term 
investments. 

v) 

 The Bank’s overseas banking subsidiaries account for unrealised gain/loss, net of tax, on investment in ‘Available 
for Sale’/’Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income’ (FVOCI) category directly in their reserves. Further 
unrealised gain/loss on investment in ‘Held for Trading’/’Fair Value Through Profit and Loss’ (FVTPL) category 
is accounted directly in the profit and loss account. Investments in ‘Held to Maturity’/’amortised cost’ category 
are carried at amortised cost.

vi) 

 In the case of life and general insurance businesses, investments are made in accordance with the Insurance 
Act, 1938 (amended by the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015), the IRDA (Investment) Regulations, 2016, 
and various other circulars/notifications issued by the IRDAI 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 over the period of 
maturity/holding on a constant yield basis.

b. 

 Listed  equity  shares  are  stated  at  fair  value  being  the  last  quoted  closing  price  on  the  National  Stock 
Exchange (NSE) (or BSE, in case the investments are not listed on NSE).

c.  Mutual fund units are valued based on the previous day’s net asset value. 

 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’ and ‘Liabilities on policies in force’ in the balance sheet for Shareholders’ 
fund and Policyholders’ fund respectively for life insurance business. 

In the case of general insurance business, valuation of investments is done on the following basis:

a. 

b. 

 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 constant yield basis over the holding/maturity period. 

 Listed equities and convertible preference shares at the balance sheet date are stated at fair value, being 
the last quoted closing price on the NSE and in case these are not listed on NSE, then based on the last 
quoted closing price on the BSE. 

c. 

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

d. 

Investments other than mentioned above are valued at cost. 

 Unrealised gains/losses arising due to changes in the fair value of listed equity shares, convertible preference 
shares  and  mutual  fund  units  are  taken  to  ’Revenue  and  other  reserves’  in  the  balance  sheet  for  general 
insurance business.

 Insurance  subsidiaries  assess  at  each  balance  sheet  date  whether  there  is  any  indication  that  any  
investment  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 24.06% of the total investments at March 31, 2020.

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

i) 

 Loans and other credit facilities of the Bank are accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines as 
given below:

a) 

 The Bank classifies its loans and investments, including at overseas branches and overdues arising from 
crystallised derivative contracts, into performing and NPAs in accordance with RBI guidelines. Loans and 
advances held at the overseas branches that are identified as impaired as per host country regulations 
for reasons other than record of recovery, but which are standard as per the extant RBI guidelines, are 
classified as NPAs to the extent of amount outstanding in the host country. Further, NPAs are classified 
into  sub-standard,  doubtful  and  loss  assets  based  on  the  criteria  stipulated  by  RBI.  In  accordance  with 
the RBI circular dated April 17, 2020, the moratorium granted to certain borrowers is excluded from the 
determination of number of days past-due/out-of-order status for the purpose of asset classification. The 
moratorium granted to the borrowers is not accounted as restructuring of loan.

 In the case of corporate loans and advances, 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 loans and 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. For loans and advances booked in overseas branches, which are 
NPAs as per the extant RBI guidelines and as per host country guidelines, provisions are made at the higher 
of the provisions required under RBI regulations and host country regulations. Provisions on homogeneous 
retail loans and advances, subject to minimum provisioning requirements of RBI, are assessed on the basis 
of the ageing of the loan in the non-performing category. As per RBI guidelines, in respect of non-retail 
loans reported as fraud to RBI and classified in doubtful category, the entire amount, without considering 
the value of security, is provided for over a period not exceeding four quarters starting from the quarter in 
which fraud has been detected. In respect of non-retail loans where there has been delay in reporting the 
fraud to the RBI or which are classified as loss accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In case 
of fraud in retail accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In respect of borrowers classified 
as non-cooperative borrowers or willful defaulters, the Bank makes accelerated provisions as per extant  
RBI guidelines.

 The  Bank  holds  specific  provisions  against  non-performing  loans  and  advances,  and  against  certain 
performing loans and advances in accordance with RBI directions, including RBI direction for provision 
on accounts referred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy 
Code, 2016. The assessment of incremental specific provisions is made after taking into consideration the 
existing specific provision held. The specific provisions on retail loans and advances held by the Bank are 
higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.

b) 

 Provision due to diminution in the fair value of restructured/rescheduled loans and advances is made in 
accordance with the applicable RBI guidelines.

Non-performing and restructured loans are upgraded to standard as per the extant RBI guidelines.

c) 

d) 

 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.

 The  Bank  maintains  general  provision  on  performing  loans  and  advances  in  accordance  with  the  RBI 
guidelines,  including  provisions  on  loans  to  borrowers  having  unhedged  foreign  currency  exposure, 
provisions  on  loans  to  specific  borrowers  in  specific  stressed  sector,  provision  on  exposures  to  step-
down  subsidiaries  of  Indian  companies  and  provision  on  incremental  exposure  to  borrowers  identified 
as  per  RBI’s  large  exposure  framework.  For  performing  loans  and  advances  in  overseas  branches,  the 
general provision is made at higher of aggregate provision required as per host country regulations and 
RBI requirement.

 In addition to the provisions required to be held according to the asset classification status, provisions 
are  held  for  individual  country  exposures  including  indirect  country  risk  (other  than  for  home  country 
exposure). The countries are categorised into seven risk categories namely insignificant, low, moderately 
low, moderate, moderately high, high and very high, and provisioning is made on exposures exceeding 
180 days on a graded scale ranging from 0.25% to 25%. 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. The indirect exposure is reckoned at 50% of the exposure. 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.

 The Bank makes floating provision as per the Board approved policy, which is in addition to the specific 
and general provisions made by the Bank. The floating provision is utilised, with the approval of Board 
and RBI, in case of contingencies which do not arise in the normal course of business and are exceptional 
and non-recurring in nature and for making specific provision for impaired loans as per the requirement 
of  extant  RBI  guidelines  or  any  regulatory  guidance/instructions.  The  floating  provision  is  netted-off  
from advances.

 The Bank makes additional provisions as per RBI guidelines for the cases where viable resolution plan has 
not been implemented within the timelines prescribed by the RBI from the date of default. These additional 
provisions are written-back on satisfying the conditions for reversal as per RBI guidelines.

 The  Bank  has  granted  moratorium  towards  the  payment  of  principal  and/or  interest  in  case  of  certain 
borrowers in accordance with RBI circular dated March 27, 2020. The Bank makes general provision on 
such loans at rates equal or higher than requirements stipulated in RBI circular.

 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  UK  subsidiary,  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 Bank’s Canadian subsidiary measures impairment loss on all financial assets using expected credit loss 
(ECL) model based on a three-stage approach. The ECL for financial assets that are not credit-impaired and for 
which there is no significant increase in credit risk since origination, is computed using 12-month probability 
of default (PD), and represents the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if a default occurs in next 12 months. 
The ECL for financial assets, that are not credit-impaired but have experienced a significant increase in credit 
risk since origination, is computed using a life time PD, and represents lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if a 
default occurs during the expected life of financial assets. A financial asset is considered credit-impaired when 
one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset 
have occurred. The allowance for credit losses for impaired financial assets is computed based on individual 
assessment of expected cash flows from such assets.

iv) 

 The  total  proportion  of  loans  for  which  subsidiaries  have  applied  accounting  policies  different  from  the  Bank  as 
mentioned above, is approximately 8.70% of the total loans at March 31, 2020.

15.  Transfer and servicing of assets

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

 In  accordance  with  the  RBI  guidelines  for  securitisation  of  standard  assets,  with  effect  from  February  1,  2006,  
the Bank accounts for any loss arising from securitisation immediately at the time of sale and the profit/premium 
arising from securitisation is amortised over the life of the securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose 
vehicle to which the assets are sold. With effect from May 7, 2012, the RBI guidelines require the profit/premium 
arising  from  securitisation  to  be  amortised  over  the  life  of  the  transaction  based  on  the  method  prescribed  in  
the guidelines. 

 In accordance with RBI guidelines, in case of non-performing/special mention account-2 loans sold to securitisation 
company (SC)/reconstruction company (RC), the Bank reverses the excess provision in profit and loss account in 
the year in which amounts are received. Any shortfall of sale value over the net book value on sale of such assets is 
recognised by the Bank in the year in which the loan is sold. 

 The Canadian subsidiary has entered into securitisation arrangements in respect of its originated and purchased 
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 as “Loans and Advances” and the amounts received 
through securitisation are recognised as “Other borrowings”.

16.  Fixed assets

 Fixed assets, other than premises of the Bank and its housing finance subsidiary are carried at cost less accumulated 
depreciation and impairment, if any. In case of the Bank and its housing finance subsidiary, premises are carried at 
revalued amount, being fair value at the date of revaluation 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 fixed assets on a straight-line basis. The useful life of the groups of fixed assets for 
domestic group companies is based on past experience and expectation of usage, which for some categories of 
fixed assets, is different from the useful life as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

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

 In case of the Bank, items individually costing up to ` 5,000/- are depreciated fully in the year of acquisition. Further, 
profit on sale of premises by the Bank is appropriated to capital reserve, net of transfer to Statutory Reserve and 
taxes, in accordance with RBI guidelines.

 In  case  of  revalued/impaired  assets,  depreciation  is  provided  over  the  remaining  useful  life  of  the  assets  with 
reference  to  revised  asset  values.  In  case  of  premises,  which  are  carried  at  revalued  amounts,  the  depreciation 
on the excess of revalued amount over historical cost is transferred from Revaluation Reserve to General Reserve 
annually.

Non-banking assets

 Non-banking  assets  (NBAs)  acquired  in  satisfaction  of  claims  are  valued  at  the  market  value  on  a  distress  sale 
basis or value of loan, whichever is lower. Further, the Bank creates provision on these assets as per the extant RBI 
guidelines or specific RBI directions.

17.  Accounting for derivative contracts

 The Group enters into derivative contracts such as interest rate options, currency options and bond options, interest 
rate  and  currency  futures,  interest  rate  and  currency  swaps,  credit  default  swaps  and  cross  currency  interest  
rate swaps.

284

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)Annual Report 2019-20  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 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  liabilities  and  accounted  pursuant  to  the  principles  of 
hedge accounting. Hedge swaps are accounted for on an accrual basis and are not marked to market unless their 
underlying  transaction  is  marked  to  market,  except  in  the  case  of  the  Bank’s  overseas  banking  subsidiaries.  In 
overseas  subsidiaries,  in  case  of  fair  value  hedge,  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 and in case of cash 
flow hedges, changes in the fair value of effective portion of the cash flow hedge are taken to ‘Revenue and other 
reserves’ and ineffective portion, if any, are 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 or loss is accounted for in the profit and loss account. Pursuant to RBI guidelines, any receivables 
under derivative contracts which remain overdue for more than 90 days and mark-to-market gains on other derivative 
contracts with the same counter-parties are reversed through the profit and loss account.

18.  Impairment of assets

 The immovable fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  may  not  be  recoverable.  An  asset  is  treated  as  impaired  when  its  carrying 
amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  The  impairment  is  recognised  by  debiting  the  profit  and  loss  account 
and  is  measured  as  the  amount  by  which  the  carrying  amount  of  the  impaired  assets  exceeds  their  recoverable 
value. The Bank and its housing finance subsidiary follows revaluation model of accounting for its premises and the 
recoverable amount of the revalued assets is considered to be close to its revalued amount. Accordingly, separate 
assessment for impairment of premises is not required. 

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 on straight line basis. The leases of property, plant and equipment, where substantially all of the 
risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Bank are classified as finance leases. Minimum lease payments 
under finance lease are apportioned between the finance costs and reduction of the outstanding liability.

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 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 - Earnings per share. Basic 
earnings per equity share is computed by dividing net profit attributable to equity shareholders 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  weighted  average  number  of  dilutive  potential  equity 
shares outstanding during the year.

3.  Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)

ICICI Bank:

 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 10% of the aggregate number of the issued 
equity shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options in line with SEBI Regulations. Under the stock option 
scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply for equity shares. In April 2016, exercise period was modified from 
10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later, to 10 years from the date 
of vesting of options. In June 2017, exercise period was further modified to not exceed 10 years from the date of 
vesting of options as may be determined by the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee to be 
applicable for future grants. In May 2018, exercise period was further modified to not exceed 5 years from the date 
of vesting of options as may be determined by the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee to 
be applicable for future grants.

 Options granted after March 2014 vest in a graded manner over a three-year period with 30%, 30% and 40% of the 
grant vesting in each year, commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant other than certain options 
granted in April 2014 which vested to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2017 and the balance on April 30, 2018 and option 
granted in September 2015 which vested to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2018 and balance 50% vested on April 
30, 2019. Options granted in January 2018 would vest at the end of four years from the date of grant. Certain options 
granted in May 2018, would vest to the extent of 50% on May 2021 and balance 50% would vest on May 2022. 

 Options granted prior to March 2014 except mentioned below, vested 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 vested 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 vested in a graded manner over a five-year 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 exercise price of the Bank’s options, except mentioned below, is the last closing price on the stock exchange, 
which recorded highest trading volume preceding the date of grant of options. In February 2011, the Bank granted 
16,692,500  options  to  eligible  employees  and  whole-time  Directors  of  the  Bank  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries  at 
an exercise price of ` 175.82. This exercise price was the average closing price on the stock exchange during the 
six months ended October 28, 2010. Of these options granted, 50% vested on April 30, 2014 and the balance 50% 
vested on April 30, 2015. 

 Based on intrinsic value of options, no compensation cost was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2020 
(year  ended  March  31,  2019:  Nil).  If  the  Bank  had  used  the  fair  value  of  options  based  on  binomial  tree  model, 
compensation  cost  in  the  year  ended  March  31,  2020  would  have  been  higher  by  `  3,826.2  million  (year  ended 
March 31, 2019: ` 3,179.0 million) and proforma profit after tax would have been ` 75,481.9 million (year ended 
March 31, 2019: ` 30,454.0 million). On a proforma basis, the Bank’s basic and diluted earnings per share would 
have been ` 11.68 (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 4.73) and ` 11.49 (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 4.68) respectively 
for the year ended March 31, 2020. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended March 
31, 2020 was ` 149.62 (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 107.22).

 The  following  table  sets  forth,  for  the  periods  indicated,  the  key  assumptions  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of 
options granted.

0.19% to 0.37%

0.43% to 0.80%

 Risk free interest rates over the expected term of the option are based on the government securities yield in effect 
at the time of the grant. The expected term of an option is estimated based on the vesting term as well as expected 
exercise behavior of the employees who receive the option. Expected exercise behavior is estimated based on the 
historical  stock  option  exercise  pattern  of  the  Bank.  Expected  volatility  during  the  estimated  expected  term  of  the 
option is based on historical volatility determined based on observed market prices of the Bank’s publicly traded equity 
shares. Expected dividends during the estimated expected term of the option are based on recent dividend activity.

  1.  Represents provision made by the Bank as per RBI guideline dated April 17, 2020
  2.   Includes general provision made towards standard assets, provision on fixed assets acquired under debt-asset swap and non-

fund based facilities.

The  Group  has  assessed  its  obligations  arising  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  including  pending  litigations, 
proceedings  pending  with  tax  authorities  and  other  contracts  including  derivative  and  long  term  contracts.  In 
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard - 29 on ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent 
Assets’,  the  Group  recognises  a  provision  for  material  foreseeable  losses  when  it  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. In cases where the available information indicates that the loss 
on the contingency is reasonably possible or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure to 
this effect is made as contingent liabilities in the financial statements. The Group does not expect the outcome of 
these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its financial results. For insurance contracts booked in its 
life  insurance  subsidiary,  reliance  has  been  placed  on  the  Appointed  Actuary  for  actuarial  valuation  of  ‘liabilities 
for policies in force’. The Appointed Actuary has confirmed that the assumptions used in valuation of liabilities for 
policies in force are in accordance with the guidelines and norms issued by the IRDAI and the Institute of Actuaries 
of India in concurrence with the IRDAI.

During Q2-2020, the Bank and certain group companies decided to exercise the option of lower tax rate available 
under Section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as introduced by Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019, 
with  effect  from  FY2020.  Accordingly,  the  Bank  and  certain  group  companies  have  recognised  the  provision  for 
income tax and re-measured the accumulated deferred tax asset at March 31, 2019 based on the rate prescribed 
under  Section  115BAA.  The  impact  of  this  change  on  the  tax  expense  for  FY2020,  including  both,  the  one-time 
additional charge due to re-measurement of accumulated deferred tax asset at March 31, 2019, and the tax expense 
at lower rate for FY2020 was ` 12,127.3 million.

13.  Sale of equity shareholding in subsidiaries 

 During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Bank sold 2.00% of its shareholding in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance 
Company Limited and made a net gain of ` 10,059.3 million on this sale.

14.  Revaluation of fixed assets

 The Bank and its housing finance subsidiary follow the revaluation model for their premises (land and buildings) 
other  than  improvements  to  leasehold  property  as  per  AS  10  –  ‘Property,  Plant  and  Equipment’.  The  Bank  had 
initially revalued its premises at March 31, 2016 and its housing finance subsidiary revalued its premises at March 31, 
2017. In accordance with the policy, annual revaluation is carried out through external valuers, using methodologies 
such  as  direct  comparison  method  and  income  generation  method  and  the  incremental  amount  has  been  taken 
to revaluation reserve. The revalued amount at March 31, 2020 was ` 57,871.0 million (March 31, 2019: ` 57,631.2 
million)  as  compared  to  the  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  of  `  26,427.8  million  (March  31,  2019:  
` 26,926.8 million). 

The revaluation reserve is not available for distribution of dividend.

15.  Proposed dividend on equity shares 

 RBI through its circular ‘Declaration of dividends by banks (Revised)’ dated April 17, 2020, has directed that banks 
shall not make any further dividend payouts from the profits pertaining to FY2020 until further instructions. This is 
with the intent that the banks conserve capital to retain their capacity to support the economy and absorb losses 
in  an  environment  of  heightened  uncertainty  caused  by  COVID-19.  Accordingly,  the  Board  of  Directors  has  not 
recommended dividend for FY2020 (year ended March 31, 2019: ` 1.00 per equity share).   

16.  Dividend distribution tax

 Dividend received from Indian subsidiaries, on which dividend distribution tax has been paid by them and dividend 
received  from  overseas  subsidiaries,  on  which  tax  has  been  paid  under  section  115BBD  of  the  Income  Tax  Act, 
1961, have been reduced from dividend to be distributed by the Bank for the purpose of computation of dividend 
distribution tax as per section 115-O of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

17.  Divergence in asset classification and provisioning for NPAs

 In  terms  of  the  RBI  circular  no.  //DBR.BP.BC.No.32/21.04.018/2018-19  dated  April  1,  2019,  banks  are  required  to 
disclose the divergences in asset classification and provisioning consequent to RBI’s annual supervisory process 
in their notes to accounts to the financial statements, wherever either (a) the additional provisioning requirements 
assessed by RBI exceed 10% of the reported net profits before provisions and contingencies or (b) the additional 
gross  NPAs  identified  by  RBI  exceed  15%  of  the  published  incremental  gross  NPAs  for  the  reference  period,  or 
both.  Based  on  the  condition  mentioned  in  RBI  circular,  no  disclosure  on  divergence  in  asset  classification  and 
provisioning for NPAs is required with respect to RBI’s supervisory process for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 
for the year ended March 31, 2018.

18.  Impact of COVID-19 on the performance of the Group

 Since the first quarter of CY2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted most of the countries, including India. This 
resulted  in  countries  announcing  lockdown  and  quarantine  measures  that  sharply  stalled  economic  activity.  The 
Government of India initiated a nation-wide lockdown from March 25, 2020 for three weeks which was extended to 
May 18, 2020 in two phases. Several countries took unprecedented fiscal and monetary actions to help alleviate the 
impact of the crisis. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced several measures to ease the financial system 
stress, including enhancing system liquidity, moratorium of three months on loan repayments for specific borrower 
segments,  asset  classification  standstill  benefit  to  overdue  accounts  where  a  moratorium  has  been  granted  and 
relaxation in liquidity coverage requirement, among others.

 The Indian economy would be impacted by this pandemic with contraction in industrial and services output across 
small and large businesses. The Group’s business is expected to be impacted by lower business opportunities and

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)Annual Report 2019-20  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
revenues in the short to medium term. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Group’s results, including credit 
quality  and  provisions,  remains  uncertain  and  dependent  on  the  spread  of  Covid-19,  further  steps  taken  by  the 
government and the central bank to mitigate the economic impact, steps taken by the Group and the time it takes 
for economic activities to resume at normal levels. The Group’s capital and liquidity position is strong and would 
continue to be the focus area for the Group during this period. 

19.  Additional disclosure

 Additional statutory information disclosed in the separate financial statements of the Bank and subsidiaries having 
no material bearing on the true and fair view on the consolidated financial statements and the information pertaining 
to the items which are not material have not been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. 

20.  Comparative figures 

Figures of the previous year have been re-grouped to conform to the current year presentation.
