ICICI  Bank  has  adopted  a  360°  approach  to  meet 
evolving needs of its customers by decongesting its 
processes, re-orienting its technologies and making 
its HR practices more agile. Named ‘Customer 360°’, 
the  objective  of  this  multi-dimensional  approach  is 
to  bring  the  entire  Bank  to  the  customer  and  offer 
solutions to them as well as their ecosystems as per 
their requirements.

We  have  products  and  services  to  meet  banking 
requirements of an individual customer at every life 
stage. Likewise, we offer a complete suite of financial 
products  to  the  entire  ecosystem  of  a  corporate 
or  an  institution  comprising  employees,  dealers 
and  vendors.  We  strive  to  become  the  primary 
banking service provider to each of our customers – 
individuals, institutions or corporates.

We leverage our network of business centres, digital 
channels,  partnerships  and  presence  across  various 
ecosystems  to  expand  our  customer  base.  Our 
ecosystem  branches  house  multi-functional  teams 
required to nurture relationships and bring the entire 
bouquet of services of the Bank to the corporates and 
their ecosystems.

The foundation of the Bank’s customer-centric and 
service-oriented  approach  has  been  to  develop 
a  granular  profiling  of  markets  through  analytics, 
intelligence  and  creating  an  efficient 
market 
distribution  and  resource  allocation  to 
identify 
opportunities across the country.

The three main pillars of ‘Customer 360°’ are Process 
Decongestion, Bank to BankTech and HR Measures.

FAIR TO CUSTOMER, FAIR TO BANK

Process Decongestion

Improving operational efficiencies through digitised 
processes  and  removing  redundancies  has  helped 
the Bank to reduce its response time for customers. 
We  continue  to  focus  on  reimagining  processes  to 
deliver  customer  delight  and  enhance  advocacy. 
We  are  leveraging  the  power  of  subtraction  in  our 
service  delivery  framework  through  simplification, 
decongestion,  abolition  of  non-value  adding 
processes, and digitisation of customer journeys and 
processes. ‘Less is more’ is our mantra.

Through  initiatives  such  as  iLens  (end-to-end  loan 
journey  platform),  onboarding  of  digital  current 
account  using  Video  KYC,  single  enterprise  level 
CRM  platform  and  Virtual  Relationship  Manager 
(VRM)  platform  among  others,  we  have  improved 
the  servicing  experience  for  customers.  New-age 
technologies  and  platforms  such  as  TradeIntelli, 
Neo  Remittance  System,  next-gen  phone  banking 
experience  and  digitisation  of  card  life  cycle  are 
empowering  the  Bank  to  serve  customers  with 
simplicity.

We  have  taken  several  initiatives  like  digitisation 
of  the  entire  underwriting  process  with  instant 
loan  approvals  to  provide  better  convenience  and 
smooth experience to our customers. Our growth in 
the deposit franchise is supported by our continued 
efforts to strengthen digital platforms and to simplify 
various  processes  to  provide  a  seamless  banking 
experience to customers.

leverage 

The  Bank  has  empowered  frontline  teams  to 
identify  and 
local  opportunities.  We 
have  also  reduced  the  layers  of  management.  The 
objective of the combined approach is to make the 
operating  teams  more  flexible  and  agile  in  order 
to  offer  improved  services  to  customers  while  
operating  within  the  guardrails  of  compliance  
and risk.

Bank to BankTech

As  the  Bank  is  transforming  itself  from  Bank  to 
BankTech, technology is assuming an integral role in 
its business strategy. Our digital platforms – iMobile 
Pay,  iLens,  InstaBIZ  and  Trade  Online – provide 
end-to-end  seamless  digital  journeys,  personalised 
solutions  and  value-added  services  to  customers 
and  enable  more  data-driven  cross-sell  and  

up-sell. iMobile Pay and InstaBIZ also have open 
architecture,  enabling  customers  of  other  banks 
to onboard seamlessly. We continue to enhance 
our  cybersecurity  and  invest  in  technology  to 
improve our offerings to customers.

We  have  enabled  efficiency  across  business  
and operational functions by adopting intelligent 
automation 
robotic 
processes.  They  have  reduced  our  turnaround 
time,  and  increased  our  capacity  for  handling 
transaction volumes and customer requirements.

including 

HR Measures 

We  have  taken  steps  to  organise  and  structure 
teams  in  a  way  to  facilitate  Customer  360°.  
We  invest  in  our  employees  to  prepare  them 
take  up  challenging  assignments  and 
to 
responsibilities  early  in  their  career,  and  not 
restrict  themselves  to  specific  areas.  This  helps 
them to learn and develop expertise in different 
job  rotations  and  moving 
domains  through 
across  roles.  The  Bank  continues  to  invest  in 
capability  building  through  in-house  functional 
academies, industry academia initiatives as well 
as specialised programmes.

We  have  created  cross-functional  teams  to 
tap  into  key  customer  and  market  segments 
across  ecosystems,  enabling  360°  coverage 
of  customers.  We  enable  ‘Customer  360°’  by 
working as one team across various departments 
of  the  Bank  by  bringing  together  the  strength  
and expertise of our employees.

We have placed strong emphasis on ethics and 
integrity  as  core  values.  We  live  the  trust  –  the 
most  important  currency  –  by  giving  the  best 
solutions  to  our  customers.  We  expect  all  our 
employees to act in accordance with the highest 
professional and ethical standards.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

In  fiscal  2023,  the  Indian  economy  continued  to  be 
resilient  despite  slowdown 
in  the  global  economy 
impacted by commodity prices, lockdown in China, surge 
in global inflation and resultant monetary tightening by 
global  central  banks.  India’s  GDP  grew  with  sustained 
improvement  in  underlying  economic  activity  across 
sectors  along  with  higher  credit  off-take,  buoyant 
tax  collection  and  continuation  of  government-led 
investments.  The  services  sector,  including  services 
exports,  rebounded  and  witnessed  growth  momentum. 
However,  global  and  domestic  inflationary  pressures, 
especially  in  the  wake  of  the  situation  in  Ukraine,  and 
sharp  tightening  of  monetary  policy  by  central  banks 
globally led to monetary tightening by the Reserve Bank 
of India with a series of repo rate hikes and withdrawal 
of excess liquidity. Overall, the Indian financial sector has 
been  stable  and  resilient,  as  reflected  in  the  improved 
performance of banks, lower non-performing assets and 
adequate capital and liquidity buffers.

During  fiscal  2023,  the  Bank  continued  to  focus  on 
profitable growth in business while maintaining a strong 
balance  sheet  and  robust  liquidity.  The  Bank  delivered 
a  healthy  growth  in  profit  along  with  improvement  in 
asset  quality  parameters.  The  Bank  strengthened  its 
balance sheet with prudent provisioning, healthy capital 
and  optimal  asset-liability  management.  The  growth  in 
business  was  underpinned  by  the  strategy  to  increase 
market  share  across  key  segments  while  focussing  on 
micromarkets and ecosystems. The Bank aimed to grow 
its  franchise  by  leveraging  its  strong  financial  position 
and well-recognised brand.

The focus on a 360º customer-centric approach with an 
objective  to  serve  customers  in  a  holistic  manner  has 
underpinned the Bank’s operations. The principle of ‘Fair 
to Customer, Fair to Bank’ has further strengthened the 
focus on customer-oriented initiatives and on long-term 
value  creation.  Fairness,  transparency  and  ethics  are 
core values in our dealings with all our stakeholders and 
employees  are  required  to  exhibit  desired  behaviours 
aligned  to  these  ethos.  The  principle  of  ‘One  Bank,  One 
Team,  One  ROE’  has  enabled  growth  in  key  business 
segments and increase in the Bank’s market share. Our 
continued  belief  in  these  value  drivers  reflected  in  the 
improved return to shareholders during fiscal 2023.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Continuing on the journey from Bank to BankTech, the Bank 
is constantly upgrading and strengthening the technology 
infrastructure  with  a  goal  to  make  it  secure,  stable  and 
resilient.  The  Bank  has  undertaken  multiple  projects 
across digital engagement platforms, which will provide 
a  competitive  edge  across  business  and  operational 
capabilities.  The  Bank  seeks  to  be  adaptable  to  digital 
developments,  innovations  and  evolving  cybersecurity 
issues.  The  Bank  has  shown  agility  in  adopting  and 
adapting  to  new  emerging  trends  and  addressing  risks 
and opportunities.

The  Bank’s  commitment  towards  Environmental,  Social 
and  Governance  (ESG)  was  evidenced  during  fiscal 
2023,  with  several  initiatives  taken  as  part  of  the 
journey  to  achieving  its  sustainability  objectives.  The 
focussed  approach  overseen  by  the  Risk  Committee 
of  the  Board  ensured  consistent  progress  being  made 
across  various  areas.  An  important  step  was  taken  by 
developing  the  Framework  for  Sustainable  Financing, 
which  provides  guidance  on  areas  of  sustainable  and 
sustainability-linked  lending.  Creating  awareness  and 
capability building among all stakeholders is an ongoing 
priority  for  the  Bank.  The  focus  on  enhancing  practices 
and  disclosures  on  ESG-related  aspects  has  led  to 
improvement in the Bank’s ESG ratings.

The  Bank  strongly  believes  in  creating  a  positive  impact 
on  society,  through  its  business  as  well  as  through  its 
corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The reach 
of efforts made through the ICICI Foundation for Inclusive 
Growth, touching every state and union territory of India, 
is  remarkable.  The  efforts  are  in  areas  critical  to  the 
country’s development, including healthcare, environment 
&  biodiversity, 
livelihoods  and  societal  development.  
The Bank is committed to continuing these initiatives that 
have so far impacted about 10.9 million lives. 

Governance  and  stability  are  top  priorities  for  the 
the  articulated  objective  of 
Board,  underpinning 
growing  within  the  guardrails  of  risk  and  compliance. 
In  this  regard,  the  Board  has  focussed  on  ensuring 
competency and independence to contribute objectively 
and  responsibly  towards  the  Bank’s  progress.  Ensuring 
quality discussions and information sharing at the Board 
level,  and  transparency  in  the  disclosures  of  the  Bank, 

has  been  a  priority  for  the  Board.  With  a  commitment 
to the highest levels of corporate governance, the Board 
continuously  endeavours  to  strengthen  various  policies 
and  frameworks,  and  maintain  oversight  over  risk 
management,  audit  and  compliances  through  various 
Committees.  The  Board  ensures  that  the  assurance 
functions  have  adequate  independence  and  stature 
to  establish  values  and  culture  that  are  integral  to 
sustainable banking.

Looking  ahead,  global  economic  conditions  continue  to 
remain uncertain, with monetary tightening by advanced 
economies  and  unevenness  in  growth  prospects  in 
various  markets.  However,  India  is  well  poised  to  grow 
sustainably,  benefitting  from  the  results  of  reforms 
undertaken  and  the  vast  potential  of  its  economy.  The 
Bank will continue to focus on participating in profitable 
opportunities and enhancing its franchise, underlined by 
risk-calibrated growth and a focus on value creation for 
all stakeholders.

We  would  like  to  thank  all  our  stakeholders  and  look 
forward to your continued support.

With best wishes,

Girish Chandra Chaturvedi
Chairman

Annual Report 2022-23 MESSAGE FROM THE WHOLETIME 
DIRECTORS

Our  business  strategy  was  led  by  a  360º  customer-centric  approach  with  an  aspiration  to 
serve customers seamlessly across ecosystems, customer segments and micromarkets while 
fostering a strong risk and compliance culture. We have further empowered our employees 
with  enablers  for  seamless  engagement  and  better  delivery  of  services  to  customers.  The 
Bank will continue to invest in process decongestion, digital capabilities, technology platforms, 
distribution and security features to respond to the evolving opportunities and risks.

Our  efforts  will  continue  to  be  founded  on  the  pillars  of  ‘One  Bank,  One  Team,  One  ROE’,  
‘Fair  to  Customer,  Fair  to  Bank’  and  paramountcy  of  return  of  capital.  We  strive  to  build  a 
culture  of  collaboration  and  teamwork  wherein  each  employee  upholds  the  ICICI  values  to 
enhance Customer 360º propositions. Our goal is to serve customers with transparency and 
integrity while creating value for our shareholders.

Sandeep Bakhshi
Managing Director & CEO

The  Bank  continues  its  strategy  of  360°  customer-centric  approach  through  innovation 
and  adapting  to  the  ever-evolving  customer  needs  across  segments  and  ecosystems.  As 
our  business  modes  evolve  digitally,  trust,  reliability  and  security  remain  the  key  anchors 
that  underpin  our  long-term  profitable  growth  strategy.  The  principle  of  ‘One  Bank,  One 
Team’  enhances  the  Customer  360°  approach  with  key  focus  on  execution.  The  Bank  has  
undertaken  various  initiatives  to  scale  the  franchise  in  terms  of  capacity,  capability, 
empowerment and deepening its presence in key micromarkets. 

To  enhance  the  corporate  relationship  including  its  stakeholders,  the  Bank  focussed  on 
capturing opportunities across entire value chain by deep diving into the customer journeys 
and  providing  integrated  industry-specific  solutions.  The  Bank  offered  new  STACKS 
additions  of  real  estate,  GIFT  City,  capital  markets  and  custody,  and  a  one-stop  platform 
for  trade  transactions.  The  Bank  continued  its  approach  of  choosing  right  counterparty,  
multi-channel  distribution  and  taking  entire  Bank  to  the  customer  with  a  transparent  and 
best-in-class banking experience.

The  Indian  economy  continued  to  show  resilience  amidst  a  volatile  global  environment  in 
fiscal 2023. During the year, we remained focussed on our strategic objective of growing our 
risk-calibrated core operating profit through the 360° customer-centric approach, which was

I.  APPROACH TO CUSTOMERS
a.  Focus on Customer 360º 

Customer-centricity  is  a  key  element  underpinning  our 
strategy  to  grow  our  business.  Our  approach  begins 
with  developing  a  deep  understanding  of  customer 
needs, expectations and experiences. This understanding 
translates 
into  products  and  solutions  that  offer  a  
holistic  banking  experience,  and  beyond.  The  approach  
is  to  take  the  entire  bank  to  the  customer  and  offer 
solutions  that  meet  the  current  and  future  needs  of  the 
customers and their ecosystems.

b.  Focus on Micromarkets

At  the  core  of  ICICI  Bank’s  customer-centric  and  service-
oriented  approach  lies  the  in-depth  profiling  of  each 
micromarket.  Key  anchors  of  the  micromarket  approach 
are data analytics, focus on aligned distribution, digital-first 
and  relevant  delivery  model.  The  research  and  knowledge 
through analytics are used in conjunction with other factors 
for  planning,  resourcing,  channel  and  product  alignment, 
capability building and marketing and alliances. This helps 
the  frontline  teams  to  understand  the  markets  in  which 
they  operate,  and  plan  localised  strategies  with  tailored 
propositions  for  customers.  Through  this  approach,  the 
Bank  aims  to  realise  the  full  potential  of  opportunities  
across segments and sectors in each micromarket.

thereby taking the full bank to the customer. During fiscal  
2023,  the  Bank  launched  STACKs  for  export  and  real 
estate  sectors.  The  export  STACK,  'Digital  solutions  for 
Exporters', is a comprehensive set of banking and value-
added services on a single platform. It aims to digitise the 
entire export life cycle – from discovery of export markets,  
export  finance,  foreign  exchange  services  to  receipt  of 
export  incentives.  The  digital  set  of  solutions  include 
services  like  Instant  Export  Packing  Credit  (InstaEPC), 
trade  accounts  (Exchange  Earners’  Foreign  Currency 
Account and One Globe Trade Account), paperless exports 
solutions  like  e-Docs  and  e-Softex,  foreign  exchange 
solutions,  digital  letter  of  credit  facility  (e-LC),  electronic

The  Real  Estate  STACK  provides  360°  banking  solutions 
for  builders,  non-banking  financial  companies,  buyers 
and Alternative Investment Fund / Real Estate Investment 
Trusts. It offers banking solutions such as digital opening 
of  bank  accounts  and  providing  account  number  for 
Real  Estate  Regulatory  Authority  (RERA)  registration, 
construction  finance,  inventory  funding  and  lease  rental 
discounting  to  cater  to  their  financial  needs,  depending 
on the life cycle stage of a project. In addition, it enables 

clients  to  manage  their  payment  obligations  to  vendors, 
employees,  utility  providers  and  statutory  payments 
efficiently. Further, it helps builders to manage their digital 
collection,  reconciliation,  surplus  distribution,  custodial 
services, collect rent through lease income and distribute 
the surplus to the investors.

The  Bank’s  strategy  in  the  merchant  ecosystem  space 
involves  onboarding  merchants 
through  acquiring 
platforms  or  by  providing  them  payment  gateways  and 
then  cross-selling  other  financial  products  and  services 
seamlessly.  The  Merchant  STACK  offers  a  bouquet  of 
banking  services,  digital  store  management  and  other 
value-added  services  to  customers.  The  number  of  
active  merchants  grew  by  43%  year-on-year  as  at  
March 31, 2023.

As  at  March  31,  2023,  the  Bank  had  13  exclusive  
business  centres  for  ecosystem  banking  across  Mumbai, 
National  Capital  Region  (NCR)  and  Kolkata.  These 
ecosystem  business  centres  are  full  service  centres  that 
house  multi-functional  teams  with  expertise  required  to 
meet the needs of corporate customers and bringing the 
entire bouquet of services of the Bank to these corporates

have  been  acquired  through  Amazon  Pay  credit  cards.

The  Bank  collaborates  with  and 
in  fintech  
start-ups  and  co-develops  products  aligned  with  the 
Bank’s digital roadmap. The Bank’s Start-up Engagement 
and Investment team has been at the forefront to leverage 
innovation  in  the  start-up  and  technology  ecosystem.  
The  engagements  with  the  start-ups  are  focussed  on 
lending,  customer  experience,  risk 
payments,  digital 
management  and  platforms.  The  Bank  is  also  offering  a 
host  of  APIs  and  Software  Developer  Kits  (SDKs)  which 
facilitate  third-party  apps  to  offer  payment  solutions  for 
their retail customers. 

With  opportunities  arising  out  of  digital  adoption, 
government’s  push  and  creation  of  large  scale  digital 
public  infrastructure,  the  Bank  envisions  banking  and  
financial services becoming omnipresent and centrepiece 
of  every  transaction.  Partnerships  with  start-ups  help 
enable  quicker  adoption  of  new-age  technologies  at 
scale such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, 
blockchain,  computer  vision,  cloud  computing  and  more. 
Additionally,  new-age  tools  and  solutions  help  mitigate 
risks  such  as  cyber  threats  and  social  frauds,  arising 

out  of  the  growing  digital  ecosystem.  In  this  context,  
the  Bank  has  adopted  a  technological  approach  that 
enables  it  to  respond  to  the  changing  dynamics  in  an  
agile and responsive manner.

the  organisation  around  micromarkets  and  customer 
ecosystems  by 
leadership 
in  key  markets.  The  cash  component  of  variable  pay  
(performance  bonus)  is  aligned  to  the  philosophy  of  'One 
Bank  One  Team'  as  it  is  based  on  overall  performance  
of  the  Bank  and  reflects  reward  for  team  performance.

Rural and Inclusive Banking

the 

The  Bank's  strategy  to  serve  the  rural  segment  of 
economy  is  based  on  the  integrated  nature  of  the  rural 
ecosystem.  The  operational  structure  and  offerings  put 
the  Bank  in  a  unique  position  to  leverage  opportunities 
in  different  ecosystems  within 
rural  markets.  
The Bank offers a diverse set of products catering to end-
to-end  needs  in  the  value  chain.  These  products  include 
working  capital  loans  for  growing  crops  and  financing 
of  post-harvest  activities,  term  loans  including  farm 
equipment  loans,  financing  against  warehouse  receipts, 
loans  against  gold  jewellery,  along  with  personal  loans, 
affordable  housing  finance  and  auto  and  two-wheeler 
loans.  The  Bank  also  provides  consumption  loans  for 
low-income  customers.  Financial  solutions  are  offered  to 
micro-finance institutions, self-help groups, co-operatives 
constituted  by  farmers  and  corporations  and  Small

businesses.  The  Bank’s  rural  portfolio  grew  by  13.8% 
year-on-year to `874.31 billion at March 31, 2023.

The Bank has identified four main ecosystems in the rural

persons  and  micro-entrepreneurs  with  comprehensive 
banking  solutions  offered  across  these  ecosystems.

The  Bank’s  reach  in  rural  areas  comprises  a  network 
of  business  centres,  ATMs,  field  staff  and  business 
correspondents  providing  last-mile  access  in  remote 
areas.  Of  the  Bank’s  network  of  5,900  business  centres, 
51% are in rural and semi-urban areas with 651 business 
centres 
in  villages  that  were  previously  unbanked.

semi-urban  and  rural  centres  at  March  31,  2023  having  
a  proportion  of  25.8%  of  pan  India  ATMs  and  cash  
recycler machines.

business  life  cycle  ranging  from  onboarding,  payment 
&  collection,  cross-borders,  account 
reconciliation

Business Banking

The  Small  and  Medium  Enterprises  (SMEs)  portfolio 
comprises  exposures  to  companies  with  a  turnover 
of  up  to  `2.50  billion.  The  Bank’s  business  banking 
portfolio  comprises  small  business  customers  with 
loan  ticket  size  of  `10.0-15.0  million.

The  business  banking  portfolio  grew  by  34.9%  to  
`721.12  billion  and  accounted  for  7.0%  of  the  overall 
portfolio  at  March  31,  2023.  The  Small  and  Medium 
Enterprises  segment  grew  by  19.2%  to  `482.21  billion  
and accounted for 4.7% of the overall portfolio.

The  growth  in  the  SMEs  portfolio  is  driven  by  the  Bank’s 
approach  of  catering  to  360°  need  of  customers  across 
business life cycle.

The  Bank’s  focus  in  these  businesses  continues  on 
parameterised  and  programme-based  lending,  which  is 
granular  and  well-collateralised.  The  Bank  has  devised 
an  integrated  underwriting  approach  which  is  scorecard 
driven.  Leveraging  digital  tools  and  data  analytics,  the 
Bank  has  built  various  scorecards  namely  Unicore  and 
Infinity,  which  caters  across  customers,  turn  ranges 
and  loan  ticket  size.  A  combination  of  qualitative  and 
quantitative  assessment  tools  are  utilised  to  arrive  at 
the  final  credit  decision.  Additionally  to  cater  specifically  
to  the  micro  segment,  the  Bank  has  a  surrogate 
programme-based  underwriting  which  considers  non-
financial  documents  such  as  bank  statement  and  Goods 
and Services Tax (GST) returns for credit assessment.

The  Bank  maintains  a 
risk  management  
framework  to  manage  the  SME  and  business  banking 
portfolio.  The  Bank  has  established  strong  practices 
to  fuel  growth  by  collateralised-lending  and  reduce 
concentration  risks  by  focussing  on  granular  lending.  
Using  a  combination  of  qualitative  and  quantitative 
assessment  tools,  the  Bank  aims  to  arrive  at  a  score 
to  determine  the  lending  criteria.  The  Bank  constantly 
monitors  and  analyses  cases  to  detect  stress,  thus 
enabling  the  Bank  to  take  early  action  and  ensuring 
a  healthy  portfolio  quality.  The  Bank  has  further  
strengthened  its  underwriting  process  by  integrating 
various  digital  tools 
like  bank  statement  analyser, 
automatic  fetching  of  bureau  reports  and  enhanced 
business  rule  engine  to  generate  probability  of  default 
scores for score-based analysis into one single ecosystem 
called 'Infinity'.

The  Bank  believes  that  a  deeper  and  more  meaningful 
connect  with  customers  is  possible  particularly  if  the 
engagement is in the areas of their interest such as their 
hobbies or passions. With this belief, the  Bank launched 
a  pan-India  customer  engagement  programme  called  
ICICI  Bank  iShine  where  customers  and  their  immediate 
families  could  showcase  their  talent  across  eight  
categories  namely  art,  body  and  mind,  dancing,  food,

financial needs. 

The  Bank’s  grievance  redressal  mechanism  is  well-
defined  and  comprehensive,  with  clear  turnaround  times 
for providing resolution to customers. The Bank provides 
multiple  channels  to  customers  to  complain  including 
the  business  centres,  call  centre  and  digital  channels. 
All  complaints  received  by  the  Bank  are  recorded  in 
a  Customer  Relationship  Management  (CRM)  system 
and  tracked  for  end-to-end  resolution.  The  Bank  has  an 
escalation matrix built in the CRM system to ensure that 
customer requirements are appropriately addressed within 
stipulated  timelines.  The  Bank  also  conducts  detailed 
Root  Cause  Analysis  (RCAs)  of  the  issues  highlighted  in

processes and enhance the services of the Bank.

a zero tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. The 
Bank has a well-defined Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption 
policy  articulating  the  obligations  of  employees  in  these 
matters. The Bank’s third-party vendors are also required 
to adhere to the Bank’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption 
policy,  including  providing  an  annual  self-declaration 
confirming their compliance. Apart from an annual review 
of  the  policy,  the  Bank  also  undertakes  periodic  external

of  the  Bank  are  primarily  based  on  two  pillars,  namely, 
Know-Your-Customer  (KYC)  and  monitoring/reporting  of  
suspicious transactions (MSTR). The policy also specifies 
monitoring  of  transactions  on  pre-defined  rules  as  per 
the regulatory guidelines and any suspicious transactions 
found  are  required  to  be  submitted  to  the  concerned 
reporting  authorities.  The  Bank  through  name  screening 
procedure  ensures  that  the  identity  of  the  customer 
does  not  match  with  any  person  with  known  criminal 
background  or  with  banned  entities.  For  the  purpose  of 

avoiding  proliferation  financing/terrorism  financing,  the 
Bank  shall  maintain  lists  of  individuals  or  entities  issued  
by Reserve Bank of India, United Nations Security Council, 
other  regulatory  and  enforcement  agencies,  legislation, 
internal  lists  as  the  Bank  may  decide  from  time  to  time.

The  Bank  continuously  focusses  on  effectiveness  of 
financial  controls  and  assesses  compliance  with  all 
relevant  regulatory  requirements.  All  the  key  policies  of 
the Bank are regularly reviewed and enhanced to ensure 
relevance, adherence to regulations and adoption of best 
practices on an ongoing basis. The Board-approved Group

under which various business lines operate. In addition to 
the  ERM  and  RAF,  portfolio  reviews  are  carried  out  and 
presented  to  the  Credit  and  Risk  Committees  as  per  the 
approved calendar of reviews. As part of the reviews, the 
prevalent  trends  across  various  economic  indicators  and 
their impact on the Bank’s portfolio are presented to the 
Risk  Committee.  Industry  analysis  are  also  carried  out 
and outcomes are presented to the Credit Committee for 
review and guidance. 

The 
Internal  Capital  Adequacy  Assessment  Process 
(ICAAP)  encompasses  capital  planning  for  a  four-
year  time  horizon,  assessment  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,

management  framework,  provides  an  insight  on  the 
impact  of  extreme  but  plausible  scenarios  on  the  Bank’s 
risk profile and capital position.

Several  groups  and  sub-groups  have  been  constituted 
to  facilitate 
independent  evaluation,  monitoring  and

OPPORTUNITIES

The Bank recognises the importance of adopting a rigorous approach 
to  understanding  and  responding  to  risks  and  opportunities  that 
enables long-term value creation for all stakeholders.

The  Bank  has  a  robust  process  to  identify  and  monitor 
risks  and  respond  appropriately.  The  Bank  continuously 
reviews and enhances the methods for identification and 
assessment  of  risks,  and  sets  appropriate  metrics  and 
controls,  and  mitigants  for  managing  significant  risks.  
This  is  further  strengthened  by  investing  in  capability 
building  and  using  Artificial  Intelligence  (AI)/Machine 
Learning (ML) techniques to enhance credit underwriting 
and early warning capabilities.

In  fiscal  2023,  the  Bank  continued  to  monitor  the  risks  
it  is  exposed  to,  including  economic,  credit,  market, 
liquidity,  cyber,  information  technology  and  employee 

related risks. Apart from these traditional risks, the Bank 
is  also  cognisant  of  emerging  new-age  risks  like  climate 
change.  The  Bank  has  initiated  steps  to  embed  climate 
risk  assessment  and  climate  risk  management  as  part 
of  the  Bank’s  risk  management  framework.  A  dedicated 
team  within  the  Risk  Management  Group  has  been  
set  up  to  develop  a  framework  to  assess  the  physical 
and  transition  risks  of  companies  in  the  Bank’s  portfolio, 
and  manage  these  risks  as  part  of  the  credit  evaluation 
process.  The  Bank  has  also  been  participating 
in  
policy-making  by  providing  inputs  and  supporting  the 
regulator in assessing impact of climate change risks on 
specific sectors. 

RISKS IMPACTING THE BANK’S BUSINESS

Risk Type

Key Risks

Our Response

Economic Risk

Volatile economic environment 
driven by rising inflation, global 
monetary policy stance and 
geopolitical tensions.

Continuously monitored developments in the 
global and Indian economy, including country 
risk and sector-specific risks and responded 
accordingly.

Credit Risk

Volatile market conditions and  
rising interest rates posed 
challenges for customers.

Ensured effective risk management across 
business segments, strengthened by ongoing 
reviews for early identification and stress 
testing; the Bank maintained strong capital 
and liquidity positions, which were significantly 
above regulatory requirements.

Market and 
Liquidity Risk

Challenges posed by tightening 
monetary policy, withdrawal of 
liquidity by the central bank and 
exchange rate movements. 

Robust policies, and periodic reviews at the 
level of Board and sub committees; strategic 
priority towards asset liability management and 
strengthening the Bank's liability franchise.

Risk Type

Key Risks

Our Response

Cyber Risk

Technology Risk

Growing threat of cyberattacks 
combined with increasing 
digitisation of banking products and  
services could expose the Bank 
to security risks. The Bank also 
leverages partnerships with third 
parties and these could also be a 
source for information security risks.

Investing on building resilience and effectively  
respond to cyberattacks; the Bank has laid 
significant focus on data privacy and data loss 
prevention mechanisms. There were no material 
incidents of security breaches or data loss 
during fiscal 2023.

The growing customer dependence 
on digital transactions and the 
rising volumes of such transactions 
requires banks to focus on the 
availability and scalability of our 
systems. Misalignment between 
business and IT strategies is a 
formidable risk.

The Bank is proactively investing in technology 
and improving its response to changing 
technological dynamics. The governance 
framework and Board-level oversight ensures 
that information technology strategy is aligned 
with the business strategy with appropriate 
policies and control frameworks. The Bank’s IT 
systems were stable and largely uninterrupted 
during fiscal 2023.

Employee Risk

Compliance Risk

Retention of employees and ability 
to attract and motivate talented 
professionals is critical for the 
successful implementation of the 
Bank’s strategy and competing 
effectively.

As a systemically important bank in 
India, compliance with regulations 
and preparedness to evolving 
developments is a key priority for 
the Bank.

Provide opportunity for job rotation and  
enhance career growth and development; 
employee well-being and upskilling are  
key priorities.

The Bank has established well-articulated 
policies and controls to ensure compliance with 
laws and regulations. Continuous evaluation 
and updating the policies to remain relevant and 
adopt best practices is an ongoing effort.  
A strong compliance culture driven by the 
Bank’s leadership is enabling timely action.

The Bank recognises the importance of maintaining a strong focus on issues material to its stakeholders. The nature 
and  potential  impact  of  these  material  issues  may  vary  and  change  over  time.  The  top  13  areas  and  the  risks  and 
opportunities are as given below:

Compliance with Regulations and Other Laws

Risks

How We Are Responding

Being a domestic systemically important bank in India, we 
are exposed to various compliance requirements. The Bank 
has to ensure robust policies and processes, and there are no 
deficiencies in meeting evolving requirements on an ongoing 
basis. Any deficiency could lead to reputation risks and a breach 
of trust.

We strive to be a responsible organisation 
with continued efforts at embedding a strong 
risk and compliance culture. The Bank remains 
vigilant of the evolving regulatory landscape, 
while ensuring that operations follow 
standards established by regulatory bodies. 

Opportunities

There is an opportunity to engage constructively with policy 
makers and advocate adoption of best practices for building 
resilience in the financial sector and supporting a growing 
economy. 

For more details refer to page 34 

The Bank’s control functions ensure that 
businesses and operations are aligned with 
best practices. 

Digital Innovation / Transformation

Risks

The increasing volume of digital transactions requires us to  
ensure availability and scalability of systems. A misalignment 
between business and IT strategies is a risk. An elongated 
period of downtime in the Bank’s digital channels could lead to 
operational and reputation risks for the Bank.

Opportunities

Digital innovations provide an opportunity to differentiate our 
offerings, with seamless and secure customer experiences. 
This can provide competitive advantage and gain customer 
confidence.

For more details refer to page 19 

How We Are Responding

We aspire to create digital innovations with 
rich features and functionalities for customers. 
The Bank’s digital platforms have transformed 
to provide seamless digital journeys. The open 
architecture platforms have enabled us to 
extend banking services to non-ICICI Bank 
account holders.

Annual Report 2022-23 MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT

Data Privacy and Cybersecurity

Risks
Lack of robust data governance practices could increase the 
risks of non-compliance, regulatory fines, financial losses and 
reputation risk. The cybersecurity landscape is also highly 
dynamic and exposes the Bank to significant challenges to ensure 
safety and security of customers’ money and personal identity.

Opportunities
Strong governance and a robust cybersecurity and data privacy 
strategy can create confidence in the institution and also 
differentiate us as a responsible organisation with customer 
interest paramount. 

For more details refer to page 32 and 38 

How We Are Responding
Dealing with cyber risks form an integral part 
of the Bank’s enterprise risk management 
framework. The Bank is committed to working 
towards aligning itself with the changing 
landscape and has a dedicated team for cyber/
information risk management. 

Corporate Governance and Business Ethics

Risks
Ensuring strong governance practices and communicating the 
same across all levels in the Bank is important to build a culture 
that ensures business outcomes are delivered in the right manner 
and with responsibility. Banking is a business of trust, and failures 
caused by ethics, values and behaviours can cause reputation risk 
and could create significant costs to the Bank. 

How We Are Responding
We have established effective policies and 
frameworks that encourage employees to act 
in accordance with the highest professional 
and ethical standards. Regular communication 
and training of employees is also undertaken. 

Opportunities
Embedding the right culture takes time to establish and begins 
with strong corporate governance and business ethics, which 
will ensure long-term sustainability of the organisation.

Transparency and Disclosures

Risks
Transparency is integral to good governance. Ensuring 
transparency in our engagement with customers and providing 
information of our products and services can enable customers 
to take sound financial decisions. The Bank recognises the 
responsibility and importance to be honest in its dealings with 
stakeholders. 

How We Are Responding
We recognise the criticality of transparency 
and disclosures, whether about the products  
we offer, our engagement with stakeholders 
or our contribution to society. The Bank aims 
to maintain robust governance and ethical 
and transparent relationship with  
all stakeholders.

Opportunities
The Bank seeks to engage constructively and responsibly in 
its area of operations. This is critical to build trust in the Brand, 
and with direct consequences to our business. The Bank also 
aims to ensure fair and balanced disclosures of its financial 
performance, with additional relevant disclosures made as and 
when required. 

Improving Customer Experience and Satisfaction

Risks
Customer demands are evolving and digitisation has created 
new dimensions in banking services. Continuous value creation 
and superior banking experiences have become important 
considerations for customers. Lack of innovation and a customer-
first approach could result in obsolete service delivery, meeting 
limited needs of customers and a loss of trust. 

How We Are Responding
Our Customer 360º approach and digital 
capabilities have strengthened the Bank’s 
value propositions for customers. Actively 
listening to our customers has helped improve 
the Bank’s offerings to customers, and reflects 
in the advocacy scores for the Bank. 

Opportunities
Digitisation and the rapid adoption of smartphones has 
given banks an opportunity to explore new ways of banking 
and providing customers with unique offerings and with 
convenience.

Customer Fairness and Right-selling

Risks
Failure to serve with customer-appropriate product offering, or 
value-add for customers or inappropriate conduct can lead to 
loss of trust and risk the reputation of the Bank. 

Opportunities
Banking is a business based on trust, and requires high level 
of customer-appropriate conduct. Generating business while 
protecting the interests of customers contributes to attracting 
depositors and growth in business. 

For more details refer to page 34 

Financial Performance

Risks
The Bank’s ability to adapt to any challenges posed by the 
external environment and swiftly prepare for compliance 
with evolving regulations is key to deliver consistent financial 
performance.

Opportunities
The Bank’s approach is to identify micromarkets which hold high 
potential & increase market share by serving customers with 
360º solutions as well as engage with all key stakeholders. This 
provides opportunities to penetrate the deep market in India.

For more details refer to page 117

How We Are Responding
The Bank’s philosophy of ‘Fair to Customer, 
Fair to Bank’ emphasises the need to deliver 
fair value to customers, including selling 
products and offer services which meet 
societal needs and are in the interest of 
customers. 

How We Are Responding
Our strategic focus is to grow the core 
operating profit less provisions within the 
guardrails of risk and compliance. We are 
investing in areas that are critical for improving 
productivity and operational efficiency.

Stability of Risk Management and Risk Outcomes

Risks
The Bank is exposed to several risks and the ability to manage 
various types of traditional and emerging risks is critical for 
sustainable growth of the Bank. 

Opportunities
Dynamic risk management and understanding the opportunities 
and challenges associated with participating in strategic 
opportunities is the bedrock for robust growth of business. 

How We Are Responding
The Bank continuously reviews the operating 
environment and closely monitors significant 
risks that could impact business. The Bank’s 
Enterprise Risk Management and Risk 
Appetite Framework articulates the risk 
appetite, and drills down the same into a limit 
framework for various risk categories under 
which various business lines operate.

Leadership Development and Succession Planning

Risks
Strong management development and succession planning 
are important for the successful implementation of our 
strategy and stability of the organisation. 

Opportunities
Leadership development and commitment to attracting, 
developing and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce can 
enable the Bank to deliver strong and consistent results. 

How We Are Responding
The Bank has adopted the principle of ‘One 
Bank, One Team’, and has accordingly 
structured its human resource management 
practices, including key performance 
indicators, providing operating flexibility and 
accountability to business centres and a 
shift from grades to functional designations 
at senior levels. These are aimed at greater 
agility and synergy across the organisation 
and are supporting improved business 
performance and financial results.

For more details refer to page 52 

Promoting Environment-Positive Projects

Risks
The climate challenge and a fast transition to a low-carbon 
economy could give rise to new types of risks that may not be fully 
understood. 

Opportunities
Using our financial expertise to provide capital to low-carbon 
sectors and new business opportunities in this space, based on 
appropriate risks and return assessment. We are committed to 
supporting customers as they decarbonise their business. 

How We Are Responding

creation in environment-friendly areas, such 
as renewable energy, use of electric vehicles 
and development of green buildings, with an 
appropriate risk-return assessment. There is 
also a focus on promoting biodiversity and

initiatives.

Carbon Emissions & Resource Efficiency in the Bank's own Operations

Risks
Assessing the environmental impact of the Bank’s own 
operations and facilities will be necessary to develop the 
Bank’s own roadmap towards carbon neutrality/net zero in 
own operations. 

Opportunities
Being in the service industry, the carbon footprint from own 
operations is not expected to be significant and would be 
manageable. 

For more details refer to page 68 

How We Are Responding
The Bank is committed to minimising the 
environmental impact of its operations and 
facilities. It is working towards meeting this 
objective by adopting best practices and 
certifications for green standards in the 
Bank’s operations. 

Exposure of the Bank to Climate-related Risks in its Loan Portfolio

Risks
The Bank’s Board has emphasised the need to evaluate the 
impact of risks posed by climate change. 

Opportunities
Significant opportunities are likely to emerge as efforts to 
meet national commitments towards sustainable growth and 
transition to become net zero by the year 2070 gains traction. 
The Bank has been supporting environmentally favourable 
projects based on an appropriate risk-return assessment. 

For more details refer to page 67 

How We Are Responding
The Bank has established adequate policies 
and frameworks for evaluating climate-related 
risks in the lending book. At the same time, 
assessment of the portfolio to climate risks has 
been included as part of stress testing as well

taken  steps  to  organise  and  structure  teams  in  a  way 
which  facilitates  the  Bank’s  approach  to  Customer  360°. 
The Bank has invested in aligning the organisation around 
micromarkets  and  customer  ecosystems  by  increasing 
the density of leadership in key markets. The integration 
of the Bank’s businesses happens closer to the customer. 
This  enables  better  understanding  of  customer  needs  at 
a  micromarket  level  in  addition  to  enhancing  the  Bank’s 
agility 
in  responding  to  business  requirements  and 
opportunities. The corporate office operates as a service 
centre  and  the  purpose  of  the  central  team  is  to  serve 
the  employees  to  facilitate  customer  engagement  and 
seamless  delivery  of  products  and  services.  The  Bank 
encourages its employees to experiment and innovate to 
deliver services and create solutions for customers within 
the guardrails of risk and compliance. 

FAIR COMPENSATION

The  Bank  follows  a  prudent  compensation  practice  under 
the  guidance  of  the  Board  of  Directors  and  the  Board 
Governance  Remuneration  &  Nomination  Committee  (the 
BGRNC or the Committee). The Compensation philosophy 

of  the  Bank  is  aligned  to  reward  team  performance. 
The  Bank’s  approach  to  compensation  is  intended  to 
drive  meritocracy  within  the  framework  of  prudent  risk 
management.  The  total  compensation  is  a  prudent  mix 
of  fixed  pay  and  variable  pay,  which  takes  into  account 
a  mix  of  external  market  pay  and  internal  equity.  The 
fixed  pay  offered  by  the  Bank,  largely  reflects  pay  for 
the  role.  The  variable  compensation  is  in  the  form  of  
share-linked  instruments  or  cash  or  a  mix  of  cash  and 
share-linked instruments. The cash component of variable 
pay (performance bonus) is aligned to the philosophy of 'One 
Bank One Team' as it is based on overall performance of the 
Bank and reflects reward for team performance. The grant 
of share-linked instruments to eligible employees, reflects 
individual potential and criticality of position/employee. The 
compensation of staff engaged in all assurance functions 
like  Risk,  Compliance  &  Internal  Audit  depends  on  the 
achievement of key results of the respective functions and 
is independent of the business areas they oversee. 

LEARNING AND GROWTH 

The  Bank’s  focus  on  Customer  360°  banking  requires 
employees  to  have  multi-product  knowledge  and  skills. 
The  Bank  has  invested  in  training  its  employees  and 
enhancing their ability to comprehensively serve customers.  
This  has  enabled  teams  to  be  agile  in  responding  to 
requirements  of  customers,  and  work  collaboratively  to 
create  innovative  and  personalised  products  &  solutions 
for customers.

Strengthening  Risk  and  Compliance 
Culture

As  custodians  of  trust,  employees  are  expected  to  
take  decisions  which  are  fair  to  customers  and  fair  to  
the Bank. 

To  enable  our  employees 
to  manage  workplace  
dilemmas,  we  have  conducted  workshops  to  orient 
frontline 
leadership  on  dealing  with  dilemmas  they 
may  face  during  the  course  of  their  roles.  The  workshop 
reinforces the need to apply the Bank’s framework while 
dealing  with  such  situations  within  the  guardrails  of  
risk and compliance.

Job Rotation and Moving Across Roles

The Bank believes in investing in its employees to take up 
challenging assignments  and responsibilities early  in the 
career.  The  Bank’s  ‘customer-oriented’  approach  known 
as Customer 360°, encourages employees to take up new 
roles  and  not  restrict  themselves  to  specific  areas.  As  a 
part of their career and skill development, the Bank offers 
opportunities  to  employees  to  explore  diverse  roles  and 
functions. This provides employees the chance to explore 
and develop learning and expertise in different domains.

Leadership Development

Leadership  Development  Programmes  and  Leadership 
Engagement  Sessions  are  conducted  on  a  regular  basis 
at the Bank.

The  ‘Ignite'  series  is  an  ongoing  initiative  designed  to 
keep  the  employees  abreast  with  breakthroughs  in  the 
leadership,  digital  transformation,  data 
domains  of 
science  and  behavioural  economics.  The  sessions  provide 
an opportunity to teams to engage with domain experts 
and thought leaders in these areas. 

ICICI  Bank  also  partners  with  thought-leaders  across 
a  wide  spectrum  of  fields  ranging  from  academia, 
management  to  sports,  to  engage  with  and  build 
leadership perspectives.

Succession Planning

The  Bank  has  institutionalised  a  succession  planning 
and  leadership  development  initiative  to  identify  and 
groom  leaders  for  next  level  roles.  The  Bank  has  a 
robust  succession  planning  process  which,  through  the 
Leadership  Cover  Index  (LCI),  closely  tracks  the  depth  of 
leadership  bench  at  the  senior  management  positions. 
The  Bank  has  a  strong  bench  for  key  positions  and  for 
critical leadership roles. 

CARE

Employees  are  the  most 
important  capital  for  the  
success  of  the  Bank’s  strategy  and  growth  of  the 
organisation. The Bank believes in providing an enabling 
work  environment  that  helps  employees  to  achieve 
aspirational goals. The Bank is an inclusive and a caring 
workplace, driven by meritocracy and equal opportunities 
for all.

Employees  at  the  Bank  imbibe  Officer  Like  Qualities

helpline,  accessible  to  all  employees  of  the  Bank.  This

support to employees and their immediate family members

has  a  dedicated  Quick  Response  Team  (QRT)  to  assist  
employees  if  they  are  in  any  distress.  Each  QRT  is  a

is  equipped  to  handle  employee  queries  and  strives  to 
provide a speedy resolution.

The  Bank's  philosophy  of  meritocracy  and  equal 
opportunity  has  led  to  a  significant  number  of  key 
positions  being  held  by  women  employees  over  the  last 
two decades. Conscious of life stage needs and safety of 
women employees, a range of benefits and policies have 
been  curated.  In  addition  to  maternity  leave,  employees 
have  access  to  child  care  leave  and  adoption  leave.  The 
Bank  has  a  Travel  Accompaniment  Policy  which  allows 
women  with  young  children  to  be  accompanied  by  their 
child  and  a  caregiver  during  official  travel,  with  the  cost

support  to  employees  who  have  children  with  special

employees. The policy ensures that all such complaints are 
handled  promptly  and  effectively  with  utmost  sensitivity 
and  confidentiality,  and  are  resolved  within  defined 
timelines.  For  other  workplace  issues,  the  Bank  has  a

expected to double the capacity for treatment by TMC.

Sustainable Environment and Ecology

Environmental  and  ecological  protection  has  become 
a  critical  developmental  need  for 
India,  as  several 
regions  face  challenges  of  water  shortage,  decline  in 
soil  quality  and  productivity  of  crops,  and  the  need  to 
increase  forest  cover  and  create  carbon  sinks.  The  team 
at  ICICI  Foundation  engages  with  the  local  authorities 
and  administration  to  understand  the  challenges  and  
evaluate  corrective  measures  that  could  be  undertaken. 
Several  projects  relating  to  water  conservation  and 
rejuvenating  water  bodies  have  been  undertaken.  In  
fiscal  2023,  the  water  body  rejuvenation  implemented 
projects  had  the  potential  for  harvesting  8.4  billion  litres 
per  annum  of  water,  and  rainwater  harvesting  projects 
undertaken  at  3,500  rural  government  schools  had  the 
potential  to  harvest  740  million  litres  of  water.  Overall,

FINANCIAL INCLUSION AND 
RURAL DEVELOPMENT 
INITIATIVES
There  are  specific  segments  of  the  rural  economy  that 
require  a  more  supportive  and  sensitive  response  to 
their  financial  requirements  and  the  Bank  has  taken 
initiatives  to  address  the  needs  of  such  segments.  The 
Self-Help  Groups  (SHGs)  programme  is  an  initiative  that 
has contributed to entrepreneurship among women in the 
rural  areas.  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  is  provided.  Services  are  offered  at  their 
doorstep, thus saving their time, money and effort to visit 
the closest business centre. 

ICICI  Bank  is  also  organising  financial  literacy  camps 
and  has  set  up  dedicated  service  desks  at  select  
business  centres  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  such  services  to  SHGs.  In  addition  to 
direct efforts in reaching out to SHGs, the Bank has tied  
up  with  about  546  non-government  organisations  
called Self-Help Promoting Institutions (SHPIs).

The  Bank  has  provided  loans  to  women  beneficiaries 
through  over  785,000  SHG  loans  until  March  31,  2023. 
Of  these,  337,000  SHGs  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  2.5  million  customers  through 
microfinance institutions. The Bank also provides lending 
to  Joint  Liability  Groups  (JLGs),  which  are  semi-formal 
groups  from  the  weaker  sections  of  society,  through 
microfinance  companies.  The 
lending  activities  are 
undertaken  within  the  overall  framework  prescribed  by 
the  RBI.  The  Bank  also  offers  credit-related  services  to 
microfinance companies  for  onward  lending  to  the rural 
population.

At March 31, 2023, the Bank had over 21.1 million Basic 
Savings  Bank  Deposit  Accounts  (BSBDA),  of  which 
around  4.4  million  accounts  were  opened  under  the 
Pradhan  Mantri  Jan  Dhan  Yojana.  The  Bank  encourages 
and enables these account holders to transact digitally.

ADDRESSING CLIMATE-RELATED 
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Climate  change  and  its  impact  on  the  economy  and 
financial  systems  is  a  tangible  risk  and  requires  close 
monitoring.  The  Bank’s  approach  to  analysing  climate 
risks include developing methods to integrate climate risk 
in  the  risk  management  framework  and  begin  testing  the 
resilience  of  the  lending  portfolio  to  climate  risks  which 
can be categorised into transition and physical risks.

The  Bank  has  formulated  an  approach  to  address  risks 
emanating  from  climate  change,  as  part  of  its  Climate  
Risk  Management  Framework.  The  scope  of 
the 
framework  comprises  assessment  of  impact  of  climate 
change  on  the  Bank’s  own  operations,  climate  risk 
management  of  the  Bank’s  loan  book  and  integration  of 
material  climate  risks  into  the  existing  risk  management 
framework.  The  framework  will  be  periodically  reviewed 
for  aligning  with  regulatory  guidance  on  climate  risks. 
As climate risk management is at a nascent stage in the 
Indian  banking  industry  and  regulations  in  this  regard 
are being formulated, the Bank will ensure that gradually 
the  approaches  evolve  and  get  refined  for  integration  of 
climate  risk  management  within  the  risk  management 
framework.

Navigating  through  this  dynamic  environment  is  crucial  
for  the  Bank's  sustainable  growth.  The  Bank  will  pro-
actively  integrate  these  risks  into  the  Bank's  credit 
evaluation  process.  Further,  risks  could  arise  with  
changing  investor  and  customer  expectations.  The  Bank 
is  cognisant  of  transition  from  fossil  fuel-based  energy 
to  renewable  sources,  and  will  capitalise  on  business 
opportunities  in  this  transition  based  on  selection  of 
counterparty  and  appropriate  risk-return  in  accordance 
with the Enterprise Risk Management framework. 

The  Bank  has  emphasised  the  need  to  sharpening  the 
focus  on  measuring  its  carbon  footprint.  During  fiscal 
2023,  evaluating  Scope  3  emissions  in  own  operations 
was  taken  up  and  the  Bank  is  considering  various  pilot 
projects to assess key data and information requirements 
for  calculating  carbon  and  GHG  (Greenhouse  Gas) 
emissions in accordance with established protocols.

The Bank is working towards 
reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 
emissions. A roadmap to reduce 
Scope 2 emissions and the 
overall emission intensity is being 
pursued. The Bank is in the process 
of evaluating Scope 3 emissions 
from own operations. The Bank is  
working towards identifying and 
putting in place the elements 
required to achieve carbon 
neutrality in own operations. 

The Bank has developed a framework 
for Sustainable Financing, which 
provides guidance on eligibility criteria 
for sustainable/sustainability-linked 
lending, guidance on assessment of 
facilities, monitoring and reporting 
of such facilities. This is the first step 
towards bringing sharper focus in the 
Bank's sustainable lending practices. 

The Bank is also committed to 
extending its expertise to customers 
that are transitioning to decarbonise 
their business activities. 

The Bank has formulated an approach

which comprises assessment of 
impact of climate change on the 
Bank’s own operations, climate risk 
management of the Bank’s loan

The Bank has been participating

a  core  team  within  the  risk  management  group  and  
other critical functions.

Bank  has  developed  a  Suppliers'  Code  of  Conduct. 
The  Code  encourages  vendors  to  adopt  sustainable 
practices  like  efficient  use  of  energy  and  water, 
waste management, and embed good practices like 
occupational  health  and  safety,  human  rights  and 
others in their operations. 

ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY IN 
OWN OPERATIONS
The  Bank's  ESG  Policy  emphasises  its  commitment  to 
conduct  business  sustainably  and  efficiently,  thereby 
reducing  the  environmental  impact  from  own  premises 
and  operations.  The  key  areas  of  focus  are  digitisation, 
minimising  GHG  emissions,  energy  conservation,  water 
conservation,  waste  management  and  sustainable 
procurement. 

During  fiscal  2023,  efforts  were  further  expanded  to 
identify  and  address  critical  areas  to  decarbonise  own 
operations. Some key efforts included:

• 

• 

• 

  The  Bank  has  developed  Green  Procurement 
standards  to  promote  purchase  of  environment-
friendly goods. 

  The  Bank  has  shifted  to  using  FSC  (Forest  
Stewardship  Council)  certified  recycled  paper  for 
pre-print  forms  at  its  branches.  This  provides  about 
37%  reduction  in  carbon  emissions  compared  to 
conventional paper. 

  The  Bank  increased  the  proportion  of  renewable 
energy  in  total  electricity  consumption  from  7.0%  in 
fiscal 2022 to 9.0% in fiscal 2023.

  The  Bank  has  shifted  to  use  of  electric  vehicles  
for  transport  of  Bank's  staff  at  specific  locations 
where  call-centres  are  present.  On  an  average,  
about  66,000  kms  is  covered  every  month  which 
provides  an  abatement  of  approximately  15  tCO2e*  
on a monthly basis.

 The  Bank  has  commissioned  a  500  litres  per  day 
capacity  machine 
for  converting  atmospheric 
moisture into clean potable water at one of the data 
centres.  The  water-from-air  system  is  approved  by 
the Environmental Protection Training and Research 
Institute as an environment-friendly technology. The 
machine  produces  approximately  350  litres  of  water 
per day and has significantly eliminated reliance on 
packaged drinking water.

  The  Bank  has  set  up  charging  stations  for  electric 
vehicles at the ICICI Service Centre (Corporate Office) 
and the learning centre at Khandala. Both these are 
in Maharashtra. 

  To  strengthen  engagement  of 
the  Bank’s  
Infrastructure  Management  and  Services  Group 
(IMSG)  with  vendors  on  ESG  and  sustainability,  the

Promoting Environment and Sustainability Through CSR

As  part  of  CSR  initiatives  being  carried  out  through  ICICI  Foundation,  ICICI  Bank  has  extensively  
supported  efforts  for  environmental  protection  and  improving  biodiversity.  Projects  have  been  executed  
in  the  areas  of  water  conservation,  forest  conservation  and  afforestation  and  protecting  biodiversity,  
which are contributing towards restoring ecological balance in the areas of intervention. 

Additionally, projects have been undertaken to significantly abate carbon emissions. These include: 

• 

 Working  with  farmers  in  600  villages  in  northern  India  to  stop  burning  crop  residue/stubble  that  
causes  significant  pollution  during  October-November  every  year.  Through  the  efforts,  these  
villages  have  been  freed  from  pollution  caused  by  the  stubble  (Parali)  burning,  and  creating  a 
positive  impact  of  abating  1.92  million  tonnes  of  CO2  emissions  and  0.19  million  tonnes  of  carbon  
monoxide. The impact and emission reduction was assessed by Punjab Agricultural University. 

• 

 As  part  of  waste  management  initiatives,  about  200  electric  vehicles  were  provided  to  civic  
authorities for garbage collection. This averted at least 500 tonnes of CO2 emissions during the year.

There  are  several  other  interventions  as  part  of  CSR  activities,  where  the  Bank  has  not  evaluated  the  
impact on reduction of GHG emissions.

*The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), part of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), is the country’s premier body for green 
building certification. The ratings are awarded based on assessment of energy efficiency, use of renewable energy, water conservation, 
waste management, indoor air quality and sustainable sourcing of material. IGBC rating levels (in ascending order) are: Certified, Silver, 
Gold and Platinum.

GHG EMISSIONS IN OWN 
OPERATIONS
The  Bank  continued  with 
its  practice  to  get  an  
independent  assurance  of  the  Bank’s  Scope  11  and 
Scope  22  emissions  undertaken.  For  fiscal  2023,  the 
limited  assurance  assignment  was  taken  up  by  DNV 
Business  Assurance  India  Private  Limited  for  the  Bank’s  
operations  being  carried  out  at  its  towers,  data  centres, 
business  centres  and  offices.  The  limited  assurance  of 
Scope  1  and  Scope  2  emissions  for  fiscal  2022  was 
conducted by TUV India Private Limited.

1  Scope  1  emissions  include  CO2  emissions  from  the  combustion  of  fuel  in  diesel-generating  sets  and  company-owned  vehicles,  
emissions due to loss of refrigerants and emissions due to CO2 based fire extinguishers. The emissions from diesel-generating sets was 
estimated using the spend-based method. The emissions from fire extinguishers and owned vehicles was based on actual consumption.

2  Scope 2 emissions are due to electricity purchased from the grid. The estimation was based on actual consumption of electricity, and 

using the grid emission factor published by the Central Electricity Authority, India.

3   Scope 3 emissions have been estimated for business-related travel by employees through modes like aircraft, train, buses, and cars. 
Emissions from hotel stay during such travel is not included. As per internal estimates, air travel contributed the highest emissions 
followed by car travel. For the purpose, DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) 2022 emission factors have been 
considered.

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

based supervision exercise, carries out the risk assessment 

of  the  Bank  on  an  annual  basis.  This  assessment  is 

undertaken  for  the  position  at  March  31,  2023.  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.

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  the  RBI 

circular, no disclosure on divergence in asset classification 

and provisioning for NPAs is required with respect to RBI’s 

supervisory process for fiscal 2022.

RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
The  Bank’s  risk  management  framework  is  based  on 
a  clear  understanding  of  various  risks,  disciplined  risk 
assessment  &  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, inter alia,  
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 
implementation 
of  Basel  Ill  and  the  activities  of  the  Asset  Liability 
Management Committee. The Committee reviews the 
level and direction of major risks pertaining to credit,

covered  under 
the  Group  Risk  Management 
Framework.  The  Risk  Committee  also  reviews  the 
Liquidity  Contingency  Plan  for  the  Bank  and  the 
various thresholds set out in the Plan.

 The  Credit  Committee  of  the  Board,  apart  from 
sanctioning  credit  proposals  based  on  the  Bank’s 
credit  approval  authorisation  framework,  reviews 
developments  in  key  industrial  sectors  (along  with 
exposure  to  these  sectors),  the  Bank’s  exposure 
to  large  borrower  accounts  and  borrower  groups. 
The  Credit  Committee  also  reviews  major  credit 
portfolios,  non-performing  loans,  accounts  under 
watch, overdues, incremental sanctions, etc.

 The Audit Committee of the Board, provides direction 
to  and  monitors  the  quality  of  the  internal  audit 
function,  oversees  the  financial  reporting  process 
and  also  monitors  compliance  with  inspection  and 
audit  reports  of  RBI,  other  regulators  and  statutory 
auditors.

 The Asset Liability Management Committee provides

Summaries  of  reviews  conducted  by  these  Committees 
are reported to the Board on a regular basis.

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

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

Group  and  Information  Security  Group.  The  Chief  Risk 
Officer  (CRO)  reports  to  the  Risk  Committee  constituted 
by the Board which reviews risk management policies of 
the Bank. The CRO, for administrative purposes, reports to 
an Executive Director of the Bank. The above mentioned 
groups  are  independent  of  all  business  operations  and 
coordinate  with  representatives  of  the  business  units 
to  implement  the  Bank’s  risk  management  policies  and 
methodologies.

The  Internal  Audit  Group  acts  as  an  independent  entity 
and  is  responsible  to  evaluate  and  provide  objective 
assurance  on  the  effectiveness  of  internal  controls,  risk 
management and governance processes within the Bank 
and  suggest  improvements.  The  Internal  Audit  Group 
maintains  appropriately  qualified  personnel  to  fulfill  its 
responsibilities. The Internal Audit and Compliance groups 
are responsible to the Audit Committee of the Board.

 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 SEBI Listing Regulations. 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.

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

 Remuneration policy

 The Compensation Policy of the Bank is in line with the 
RBI circulars and in compliance with the requirements

Companies  Act,  2013.  The  Policy  is  divided  into  the 
segments,  Part  A,  Part  B  and  Part  C  where  Part  A 
covers  the  requirements  for  wholetime  Directors  & 
employees pursuant to RBI guidelines, Part B relates 
to compensation to Non-Executive Directors (except 
part-time  Non-Executive  Chairman)  and  Part  C 
relates to compensation to part-time Non-Executive 
Chairman.  The  Compensation  Policy  is  available  on

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

 ICICI  Bank  has  667.6  million  ADS  (equivalent  to 
1,335.2  million  equity  shares)  outstanding,  which 
constituted 19.12% of ICICI Bank’s total equity capital 
at  March  31,  2023.  There  are  no  other  convertible 
instruments outstanding as on March 31, 2023.

 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.  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.

 In  view  of  the  above,  the  disclosure  pursuant  to 
the  SEBI  Circular  No.  SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD1/CIR/P/ 
2018/0000000141 dated November 15, 2018 is not 
required to be given.

Directors  of  ICICI  Bank  and  its  subsidiaries  to

stock  option  grants,  the  Bank  seeks  to  foster  a 
culture  of  long-term  sustainable  value  creation.  The 
Scheme  2000  is  in  compliance  with  the  Securities 
and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee 
Benefits  and  Sweat  Equity)  Regulations,  2021 
(the  SEBI  SBEB  &  SE  Regulations).  The  options  are 
granted  by  the  Board  Governance,  Remuneration  & 
Nomination  Committee  and  noted/approved  by  the 
Board as the case maybe.

 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, 2023 granted 612.29 
million  stock  options  from  time  to  time  aggregating 
to  8.77%  of  the  issued  equity  capital  of  the  Bank 
at  March  31,  2023.  As  per  the  Scheme  2000,  as 
amended from time to time, the maximum number of 
options granted to any employee/Director in a year is 
limited to 0.05% of ICICI Bank’s issued equity shares 
at the time of the grant, and the aggregate of all such 
options is limited to 10% of ICICI Bank’s issued equity 
shares on the date of the grant (equivalent to 698.28 
million shares of face value ` 2.00 each at March 31, 
2023).

 Particulars  of  options  granted  by  ICICI  Bank  as  on 
March 31, 2023 are given below:

Till March 31, 2021, the Bank recognised cost of stock 
options  granted  under  Scheme  2000,  using  intrinsic 
value  method.  Pursuant  to  RBI  clarification  dated 
August  30,  2021,  the  cost  of  stock  options  granted 
after  March  31,  2021  is  recognised  based  on  fair 
value method. The cost of stock options granted up to 
March 31, 2021 continues to be recognised on intrinsic 
value method. The Bank uses Black-Scholes model to 
fair value the options on the grant date and the inputs 
used in the valuation model include assumptions such 
as the expected life of the share option, volatility, risk 
free rate and dividend yield. The diluted earnings per 
share  (EPS)  pursuant  to  issue  of  shares  on  exercise 
of options calculated in accordance with Accounting 
Standard  20  (AS-20)  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2023 was ` 44.89 compared to basic EPS of ` 45.79.

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

Scholes  model,  of  options  granted  under  Scheme 
2000  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2023  was 
`  291.15  (year  ended  March  31,  2022:  `  227.75) 
and  the  weighted  average  exercise  price  of  options 
granted during the year ended March 31, 2023 was 
` 747.92 (year ended March 31, 2022: ` 570.43).

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

the  Bank  (as  adjusted  for  any  changes  in  capital 
structure  of  the  Bank)  against  each  Unit  exercised 
and  accordingly,  up  to  100,000,000  equity  shares

eligible employees taken together under the Scheme 
2022.

ANNUAL REPORT ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACTIVITIES 

1. 

 Brief outline on CSR Policy of the Company

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

 ICICI  Bank’s  objective 
is  to  proactively  support 
meaningful  socio-economic  development  in  India 
and enable a larger number of people to participate 
in  and  benefit  from  India’s  economic  progress.  This 
is based on the belief that growth and development 

are  effective  only  when  they  result  in  wider  access 
to opportunities and benefit a broader section of the 
society.  ICICI  Bank’s  approach  is  to  identify  critical 
areas  of  development  that  require  investments  and 
intervention,  and  which  can  help  to  realize  India’s 
potential for growth and prosperity.

ANNEXURE 1: SUMMARY OF IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY

1. 

 Dialysis machines provided to select 
hospitals in seven states

 The  dialysis  project  aimed  to  develop  a  sustainable 
and collaborative ecosystem for providing access to 
affordable and high-quality dialysis services to renal 
patients.  The  initiative,  implemented  through  ICICI 
Foundation, was expected to benefit those who had 
less or no access to these facilities. The Bank provided 
211 dialysis machines to 76 hospitals in seven states 
during fiscal 2022. The project was implemented in a 
public-private  partnership  mode,  with  infrastructure 
and  consummables  being  made  available  by  the 
government  and  dialysis  machines  being  funded  by 
the Bank.

 Key findings of the study were as follows:

• 

• 

• 

 On  an  average,  two  to  three  shifts  of  dialysis 
were  done  in  a  day,  with  no  major  breakdown 
issues with the machines.

 The  programme  has  made  dialysis  services 
accessible  and  affordable  to  the  very  poor  and 
marginal communities in remote locations. Most 
of the patients were from below poverty line and 
received services at a nominal price.

 The  Social  Return  on  Investment  (SROI)  in 
the  project  was  significant  with  every  `  1.00 
invested contributing to a social return of ` 25.5 
over a 10-year period.

• 

• 

• 

• 

 60%  children  were  less  than  five  years  of  age 
and 30% were in the age-cohort of 5-12 years; 
58% of those treated were boys and 42% were 
girls.

 Most  of  the  people  who  received  services 
were  from  economically  weaker  section  and 
other  backward  and  scheduled  castes.  The 
support extended made paediatric cardiac care 
accessible  and  affordable  to  these  people  who 
could not afford the treatment.

 Of the families surveyed, 45% were from below 
poverty  line,  with  average  monthly  income  of 
around ` 12,000.

 Contribution  to  SSSSH  gave  an  SROI  value  of 
19:1.

3. 

 Livelihood project through e-rickshaws 
distribution

through 

 This  project  was  undertaken 
ICICI 
Foundation  in  collaboration  with  the  Kaushambi 
district  administration  in  Uttar  Pradesh.  The  local 
district  authority  introduced  a  Garib  Sarthi  Yojana 
in  December  2021  to  provide  sustainable  source 
of  income  to  the  underserved  and  marginalized 
communities  in  the  district.  As  part  of  the  initiative, 
electric rickshaws (e-rickshaws) were made available 
to  families  below  poverty  line  from  rural  and  urban 
areas.  The  funding  was  for  procurement  of  the 
e-rickshaws.

2. 

 Funds provided for surgeries/procedures to 
Sri Sathya Sai Hospital

Key impact of the project were:

 As part of the focus on healthcare, the Bank, through 
ICICI  Foundation,  had  provided  funds  to  Sri  Sathya 
Sai Sanjeevani Hospital (SSSSH) for heart treatment 
of children. The funds could support 400 child heart 
surgeries,  which  is  provided  free  of  cost  by  the 
hospital. The assessment focused on understanding 
the  utilization  of  funds  and  the  manner  in  which  it 
had  contributed  towards  improving  the  lives  of  the 
beneficiaries.

 Key findings of the study were:

• 

 The  400  beneficiaries  were  from  15  states, 
with  maximum  from  Uttar  Pradesh,  Bihar, 
Maharashtra, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh.

• 

• 

• 

• 

 74% of the beneficiaries belonged to the socially 
marginalized sections of society.

 Around 80% of the beneficiaries were involved in 
low-paying jobs such as farming or daily wage 
labour.

 80%  of  the  beneficiaries  stated  that  income 
had increased post the programme, and 90% of 
them earned more than ` 7,000 per month from 
the e-rickshaws.

 63%  of 
the  beneficiaries  had  seen  an 
improvement  in  their  lifestyle  sufficing  through 
material well-being in terms of assets procured 
and living conditions.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

• 

• 

• 

 60%  beneficiaries  indicated  they  were  able  to 
save from the income earned.

 At the time of the survey, 70% of the beneficiaries 
had started using the e-rickshaws commercially.

 A  drawback  noted  by  the  study  was  that 
over  60%  of  the  beneficiaries  received  their 
e-rickshaws after 11 months from submission of 
their application.

4. 

 ASHA worker programme

 With  a  view  to  strengthen  the  primary  healthcare 
efforts  for  women  and  children  undertaken  through 
ASHA  workers,  the  Bank,  through  ICICI  Foundation, 
provided  support  to  75,000  ASHA  workers  in  fiscal 
2022. The women workers were provided with 
materials  like  bags,  information  booklet,  education 
and communication material, charts for maintaining 
records, registers, and other such material that would 
help them in effective delivery of support for maternal 
and  child  health.  The  programme  was  implemented 
in all districts of Maharashtra.

 Key impact of the project were as follows:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 90% of ASHA workers regularly used the kits for 
counselling and home visits.

 82% of ASHA workers indicated that they were 
able to correctly answer majority of the queries 
relating  to  ante-natal  care,  and  78%  indicated 
they  could  appropriately  respond  to  queries 
relating to post-natal care.

 88% ASHA workers reported that maternal and 
child health monitoring improved using the kits.

 62%  informed  that  they  were  able  to  prevent 
complications faced by women during pregnancy 
through regular monitoring.

 The  SROI  for  the  project  was  `  12.13  for  every 
rupee spent.

5. 

 Education project ‘Prabal Super-50’

 The  Prabal  SUPER-50  project  supported  children

 The financial inclusion programme

 Financial inclusion programme has been implemented 
by the Bank for ensuring access to financial services, 
timely  and  adequate  credit  for  vulnerable  groups 
such  as  weaker  sections  and  low-income  groups 
at  an  affordable  cost.  The  Bank  has  taken  several 
steps  towards  this  goal,  including  using  a  network 
of  Business  Correspondents  (BCs)  and  branches, 
offering  digital  payment  solutions,  and  encouraging 
customers to conduct digital transactions.

The key findings are:

• 

• 

• 

• 

 44%  of  respondents  developed  habit  of  saving 
and  planning  expenses.  Majority  were  not  able 
to do so due to low and unstable income.

 68%  found  accessing  financial  services  to  be 
convenient.

 73% of respondents informed that knowledge of 
various financial services and products improved 
with the assistance of the BCs.

 By providing access to financial services and to 
government  schemes,  the  program  has  helped 
marginalized families improve their standard of 
living.

8. 

 Social Awareness Programme

 The social awareness programme of the Bank  aims 
to spread messages and improve awareness on road 
safety, sanitation, environment and others, and bring 
about  a  behavioral  change  among  people  to  make 
them socially responsible citizens. In this programme, 
various  signage  and  boards  were  placed  at  several 
locations  across 
India.  The  Bank  collaborated 
with  local  government  bodies  to  ensure  that  the 

messages  were  relevant  and  contextualized  to  the 
local  population.  In  fiscal  2022,  the  project  involved 
installation of 3,500 boards at over 43 different sites/
locations in Pune, Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata.

The key findings of the assessment were:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 The programme met three of the MCA’s approved 
activities under Schedule VII (Section 135) of the 
Companies Act, 2013 and four areas of national 
policies.

 The  programme  was  aligned  with  seven 
UN  Sustainable  Development  Goals  (SDGs) 
which 
include  good  health  and  well-being, 
quality  education,  clean  water  and  sanitation, 
sustainable cities and communities, responsible 
consumption  and  production,  life  below  water 
and life on land.

 The  programme  also  aligned  with  three  of  the 
National  Guidelines  on  Responsible  Business 
Conduct  Principles  under  SEBI’s  Business 
Responsibility & Sustainability Report (BRSR).

 The  daily  effective  circulation  (DEC),  which  is 
the average number of people passing by, was 
observed to be more than 1.48 crore. This implies 
an annual visibility impression of 176 crore.

 One of the recommendations in the report is to 
appropriately  size  and  place  the  display  board 
in  heavy  traffic  areas  to  improve  visibility  and 
effectiveness of the social message.

 The  Program  also  aligns  with  the  SEBI’s 
BRSR  principles  pertaining  to  protection  and 
restoration  of  environment  and  promoting 
inclusive growth and equitable development.

Annual Report 2022-23 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Global growth momentum is expected to slow from 2.7% 
year-on-year  in  calendar  year  2022  to  2.1%  in  calendar 
year 2023 led primarily by a weaker outlook in developed 
market (DM) economies with risks to the outlook being to 
the  downside.  The  lagged  effect  of  monetary  tightening 
undertaken over calendar year 2022 along with weakening 
credit markets will work as the main headwinds in terms 
of pulling global growth lower. At the same time, headline 
inflation  is  expected  to  drop-off  reflecting  easing  in 
supply-side inflation pressures. However, DM core inflation 
remains elevated and a concern that will restrict the ability 
of DM central banks to turn accommodative over calendar 
year 2023. Risks to the global growth outlook are to the 
downside  reflected  in:  (a)  possibility  of  further  strain  in 
the DM banking sector and (b) a further escalation in geo-
political tensions.

Domestically, India recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic 
as  the  third  wave  started  receding  from  January  2022. 
However, just when the Covid-19 pandemic was getting 
over,  the  world  witnessed  another  major  shock  in  the 
form  of  the  Russia-Ukraine  crisis,  leading  to  a  spike  in 
commodity  prices.  The  subsequent  sanctions  on  Russia 
further disrupted commodity markets, increased volatility 
and uncertainty, and kept an upward pressure on inflation. 
Consequently,  domestic  inflation  averaged  6.7%  during 
fiscal  2023,  putting  pressure  on  consumption  growth. 
Overall, India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 7.2% 
in  fiscal  2023  mainly  driven  by  strong  investments  and 
exports growth.

Growth

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  2023,  India’s  real  Gross 
Value  Added  (GVA)  grew  6.5%  year-on-year.  Real  GDP 
growth came at 6.1% year-on-year in the fourth quarter 
of  fiscal  2023,  taking  fiscal  2023  growth  to  7.2%.  The 
notable development emerged from industry (particularly 
manufacturing)  which  recorded  higher  growth  than 
implied in the Second Advance Estimates (SAE) due to a 
turnaround in profitability on the back of lower raw material 
prices.  Agriculture  recorded  a  growth  of  5.5%  year-on-
year during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the highest 
quarterly growth since March 2020. Services sector grew 
6.9% year-on-year, mainly due to an uptick in trade and 
travel  services.  From  the  expenditure  side,  consumption 
recorded  muted  growth.  Private  consumption  grew  just 
2.8% year-on-year, while government consumption grew 

2.3%  year-on-year.  Investments,  as  represented  by  real 
Gross  Fixed  Capital  Formation  (GFCF),  grew  8.9%  year-
on-year up from 8.0% in the third quarter and 4.9% in the 
fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 on the back of infrastructure 
thrust  by  the  government  and  good  growth  in  capital 
expenditure.

Inflation

Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), 
softened from 7.0% year-on-year in March 2022 to 5.7% 
year-on-year  in  March  2023,  compared  to  an  average 
inflation of 6.7% year-on-year in fiscal 2023. Food inflation 
too eased to 4.2% year-on-year, while core inflation was 
lower  at  5.2%  year-on-year.  The  most  important  factor 
working  in  favour  of  inflation  is  lower  global  commodity 
and oil prices. Given the above backdrop along with muted 
commodity prices, inflation estimates have been lowered 
to 5.1% year-on-year in fiscal 2024 as compared to 5.3% 
earlier.  However,  upside  risks  due  to  a  below  normal 
rainfall (led by El-Nino) could push the food prices higher 
in case of pulses and rice.

Interest rates

In  May  2022,  the  Monetary  Policy  Committee  (MPC) 
delivered  its  first  post-pandemic  hike  of  40  basis  points, 
taking the repo rate to 4.4%. More rate hikes followed: 50 
basis points in June 2022, 50 basis points in August 2022, 
50  basis  points  in  September  2022,  35  basis  points  in 
December  2022  and  25  basis  points  in  February  2023, 
taking  the  cumulative  rate  hikes  to  250  basis  points 
during fiscal 2023. However, the MPC surprised markets 
by  keeping  the  policy  rate  unchanged  at  6.5%  in  the 
meeting  held  in  April  2023,  while  the  stance  remained 
unchanged. System liquidity reduced from an average of 
6.39 trillion in March 2022 to 32.36 billion in March 2023. 
The transmission of monetary policy resulted in increase in 
interest rates in the banking system. Between April 2022 
and  March  2023,  the  weighted  average  lending  rate 
(WALR)  of  commercial  banks  on  fresh  rupee  loans 
increased by 169 basis points.

Financial markets

During fiscal 2023, the Rupee depreciated by 8.4% from 
`  75.79  per  USD  at  March  31,  2022  to  `  82.18  per  USD 
at  March  31,  2023.  With  the  global  turmoil  due  to  the 
continuing Russia-Ukraine war, the Rupee touched ` 82.99 
per  USD  at  October  19,  2022.  The  benchmark  S&P  BSE 
Sensex increased by 0.7% during fiscal 2023 compared to 

117

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsMANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

18.3% in fiscal 2022. The yields on the benchmark 10-year 
government securities increased from 6.84% at March 31, 
2022  to  7.31%  at  March  31,  2023.  The  yield  fluctuated 
during  the  year,  with  the  highest  at  7.62%  on  June  16, 
2022. It cooled down to 7.29% by July 6, 2022.

Banking sector trends

Non-food  credit  of  the  banking  system  displayed  robust 
growth during fiscal 2023, with growth of 15.4% compared 
to 8.7% in fiscal 2022, with incremental credit growth of 
` 18.2 trillion in the year. With the latest sectoral break-up 
of credit data available till April 2023, credit growth was 
led by services (21.6% year-on-year) and personal credit 
(19.4%  year-on-year).  In  addition,  industry  credit  also 
showed an uptick in growth at 7.0% year-on-year.

to  RBI’s  Financial  Stability  Report  of 
According 
December  2022,  non-performing  assets 
(NPAs)  of 
scheduled  commercial  banks  continued  to  decline  in 
fiscal  2023,  with  gross  NPA  ratio  at  5.0%  and  net  NPA 
ratio  at  1.3%  at  September  30,  2022  compared  to  a 
gross  NPA  ratio  of  6.9%  and  net  NPA  ratio  of  2.3%  at 
September 30, 2021. Restructuring of loans for the MSME 
sector  impacted  by  the  second  Covid-19  wave  under 
Resolution  Framework  2.0  stood  at  2.3%  of  total  MSME 
advances as on September 30, 2022.

Outlook

The  MPC  expectedly  kept  the  repo  rate  unchanged  at 
the June 2023 review. It also kept the stance of monetary 
policy  unchanged  at  ‘withdrawal  of  accommodation’.  A 
long pause on rates by the MPC is expected, with rate cuts 
possible in the first few months of calendar year 2024.

STRATEGY

In fiscal 2023, the Bank maintained its strategic focus on 
profitable growth in business within the guardrails of risk 
and  compliance.  The  Bank  grew  its  credit  portfolio  with 
a  focus  on  granularity  and  saw  healthy  growth  across 
retail,  business  banking  and  wholesale  portfolios.  The 
Bank continued to focus on holistically serving its clients 
and  their  ecosystems.  The  Bank  sought  to  maintain 
and  enhance  its  liability  franchise.  The  Bank  focused  on 
maintaining a strong balance sheet, with robust liquidity, 
prudent  provisioning  and  healthy  capital  adequacy.  The 
Bank’s  capital  adequacy  ratios  were  significantly  above 
regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2023.

Going forward, the Bank would focus on maximizing the 
profit  before  tax  (excluding  treasury  gains)  within  the 
guardrails of compliance and risk management. The Bank 
believes  there  are  significant  opportunities  for  profitable 
growth across various sectors of the Indian economy. The 
Risk Appetite and Enterprise Risk Management framework 
articulates the Bank’s risk appetite and drills it down into a 
limit framework for various risk categories. The Bank will 
focus on growing its loan portfolio in a granular manner 
with a focus on risk and reward, with return of capital and 
containment  of  provisions  within  targeted  levels  being  a 
key imperative. There are no specific targets for loan mix 
or  segment-wise  loan  growth.  The  Bank  would  aim  to 
continue to grow its deposit franchise, maintain a stable 
and healthy funding profile and competitive advantage in 
cost of funds.

provisions and tax, excluding treasury gains) increased by 
28.1% from ` 383.47 billion in fiscal 2022 to ` 491.39 billion 
in fiscal 2023 primarily due to an increase in net interest 
income  by  `  146.63  billion  and  fee  income  by  `  23.14 
billion, offset, in part, by an increase in operating expenses 
by ` 61.40 billion. Provisions and contingencies (excluding 
provision for tax) decreased by 22.9% from ` 86.41 billion 
in fiscal 2022 to ` 66.66 billion in fiscal 2023. Gains from

Annual Report 2022-23 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Provisions and contingencies (excluding provision for tax) 
decreased by 22.9% from ` 86.41 billion in fiscal 2022 to 
` 66.66 billion in fiscal 2023 primarily due to a write-back 
of  provision  for  non-performing  and  other  assets,  offset, 
in  part,  by  an  increase  in  contingency  provisions  made 
on a prudent basis, and provision for investments. There 
was  a  write-back  of  `  6.23  billion  in  provision  for  non-
performing  and  other  assets  in  fiscal  2023  compared  to 
a  provision  of  `  61.64  billion  in  fiscal  2022.  During  fiscal 
2023,  there  were  higher  recoveries  and  upgrades  from 
non-performing  assets  (NPA)  resulting  in  net  write-back 
of provision, offset, in part, by an increase in provisioning 
rate for certain categories of NPAs. During fiscal 2023, the 
Bank  changed  its  provisioning  norms  on  NPAs  to  make 
them  more  conservative.  In  fiscal  2022,  the  provision  for 
non-performing and other assets also included provision 
on  loans  restructured  under  Resolution  Framework  for 
COVID-19.

The  provision  coverage  ratio  on  NPAs  increased  from 
79.2%  at  March  31,  2022  to  82.8%  at  March  31,  2023. 
During fiscal 2023, the Bank made a contingency provision 
amounting  to  `  56.50  billion  (fiscal  2022:  write-back  of 
`  0.25  billion),  on  a  prudent  basis,  to  further  strengthen 
the  balance  sheet.  The  Bank  held  a  total  contingency 
provision of ` 131.00 billion at March 31, 2023.

The income tax expense increased from ` 72.70 billion in 
fiscal 2022 to ` 105.25 billion in fiscal 2023. The effective 
tax  rate  increased  from  23.7%  in  fiscal  2022  to  24.8% 
in  fiscal  2023  primarily  due  to  change  in  composition  of 
income.

Net worth increased by 17.7% from ` 1,705.12 billion at 
March  31,  2022  to  `  2,007.16  billion  at  March  31,  2023 
primarily due to accretion to reserves out of retained profit, 
offset, in part, by payment of dividend for fiscal 2022.

Total assets increased by 12.3% from ` 14,112.98 billion 
at March 31, 2022 to ` 15,842.07 billion at March 31, 2023. 
Total advances increased by 18.7% from ` 8,590.20 billion 
at  March  31,  2022  to  `  10,196.38  billion  at  March  31, 
2023  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  domestic  advances 

by  20.5%.  Total  investments  increased  by  16.8%  from 
` 3,102.41 billion at March 31, 2022 to ` 3,623.30 billion 
at March 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents decreased 
by  28.8%  from  `  1,678.22  billion  at  March  31,  2022  to 
` 1,194.38 billion at March 31, 2023.

The  weighted  average  high-quality 
liquid  assets, 
maintained during the three months ended March 31, 2023 
were  `  3,234.60  billion  (three  months  ended  March  31, 
2022:  `  3,197.27  billion).  The  average  liquidity  coverage 
ratio was 124.13% for the three months ended March 31, 
2023 as against the requirement of 100.00%.

Total deposits increased by 10.9% from ` 10,645.72 billion 
at  March  31,  2022  to  `  11,808.41  billion  at  March  31,

2023.  Average  CASA  deposits  increased  by  13.3%  from 
` 4,198.86 billion in fiscal 2022 to ` 4,758.90 billion in fiscal 
2023.  Borrowings  increased  by  11.3%  from  `  1,072.31 
billion at March 31, 2022 to ` 1,193.25 billion at March 31, 
2023.

The  Bank  had  a  business  center  (branch)  network  of

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

The  yield  on  average  interest-earning  assets  increased 
by 66 basis points from 7.21% in fiscal 2022 to 7.87% in 
fiscal 2023 primarily due to the following factors:

 The  yield  on  domestic  advances  increased  by  52 
basis  points  from  8.64%  in  fiscal  2022  to  9.16% 
in  fiscal  2023.  The  yield  on  advances  increased 
primarily  due  to  re-pricing  of  existing  floating  rate 
loans linked to the repo rate and the Bank’s Marginal 
Cost of funds based Lending Rate (MCLR) to a higher 
rate  and  new  lending  at  higher  rates.  At  March  31, 
2023, of the total domestic loan book, 30% had fixed 
interest  rates,  45%  had  interest  rates  linked  to  repo 
rate, 20% had interest rates linked to MCLR and other 
older benchmarks and 5% had interest rates linked to 
T-bills.

 RBI increased the repo rate by 250 basis points from 
4.00% in May 2022 to 6.50% in February 2023. The 
Bank’s 1-year MCLR increased by 150 basis points in 
phases during fiscal 2023 from 7.25% in March 2022 
to  8.75%  in  March  2023.  The  impact  of  increase  in 
repo rates from May 2022 started reflecting in overall 
yield  through  repricing  of  the  repo  and  T-bill  linked 
portfolio  from  Q2-2023  and  onwards.  For  MCLR 
linked  loans,  the  effect  on  the  yields  is  based  on 
respective  reset  dates  of  underlying  loans.  Further, 
the  future  movement  in  the  yield  on  advances  will 
depend on the increase/decrease in the repo rate and 
the systemic interest rates.

 The  yield  on  overseas  advances  increased  by  239 
basis  points  from  1.51%  in  fiscal  2022  to  3.90%  in 
fiscal 2023 primarily due to repricing of floating rate 
advances and new lending at higher rates on account 
of  the  ongoing  rate  hike  cycle  by  the  US  Federal 
Reserve.  The  yield  on  overseas  advances  was  also 
positively  impacted  by  higher  interest  collection  on 
NPAs.

 The overall yield on average advances increased by 
67 basis points from 8.27% in fiscal 2022 to 8.94% in 
fiscal 2023.

 The  yield  on  average  interest-earning  investments 
increased  by  59  basis  points  from  5.98%  in  fiscal 
2022  to  6.57%  in  fiscal  2023.  The  yield  on  Indian 
increased  by  40  basis 
government 
points  from  6.22%  in  fiscal  2022  to  6.62%  in  fiscal 
2023. This was primarily due to reset of floating rate 
bonds linked to Treasury bills (T-bills) at higher rates 
pursuant  to  a  significant  increase  in  treasury  bill

yields and new investment in government securities 
at higher yields.

 The yield on non-SLR investments increased by 144 
basis  points  from  4.72%  in  fiscal  2022  to  6.16%  in 
fiscal  2023  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  yield  on 
bonds and debentures, foreign government securities 
and commercial paper.

 The yield on other interest-earning assets decreased 
by 66 basis points from 4.04% in fiscal 2022 to 3.38% 
in  fiscal  2023.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  a 
decrease in interest income on funding swaps and an 
increase in average balance with RBI which does not 
earn any interest. During first quarter of fiscal 2023, 
RBI had increased the cash reserve ratio from 4.00% 
to  4.50%.  The  decrease  in  yield  on  other  interest-
earning assets was offset, in part, by an increase in 
yield  on  call  money  lent  and  an  increase  in  yield  on 
balance with other banks.

 Interest on income tax refund decreased from ` 2.43 
billion  in  fiscal  2022  to  `  1.14  billion  in  fiscal  2023. 
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 increased by 22 basis points from 3.71% 
in fiscal 2022 to 3.93% in fiscal 2023 primarily due to the 
following factors:

• 

 The  cost  of  average  deposits  increased  from  3.53% 
in  fiscal  2022  to  3.66%  in  fiscal  2023  primarily  due 
to an increase in cost of domestic term deposits. The 
cost of domestic term deposits increased by 23 basis 
points  from  4.57%  in  fiscal  2022  to  4.80%  in  fiscal 
2023. The peak rate for retail term deposits increased 
significantly  in  phases  from  5.75%  in  May  2022  to 
7.10%  in  February  2023  on  account  of  significant 
increase in repo rate by the Reserve Bank of India.

 The full impact of the rise in interest rates on deposits 
from the beginning of fiscal year 2023 will be reflected 
in  the  cost  of  domestic  term  deposits  during  fiscal 
2024.

 The  cost  of  savings  account  deposits  increased 
marginally  from  3.15%  in  fiscal  2022  to  3.16%  in 
fiscal  2023.  The  average  CASA  deposits  increased 
from  44.5%  of  total  average  deposits  in  fiscal  2022 
to  44.7%  of  total  average  deposits  in  fiscal  2023.

increase  in  cost  of  term  borrowings  on  account  of 
ongoing rate hike cycle by the US Federal Reserve.

• 

 The cost of borrowings increased by 60 basis points 
from  5.37%  in  fiscal  2022  to  5.97%  in  fiscal  2023. 
The  cost  of  domestic  borrowings  increased  by  28 
basis  points  from  6.38%  in  fiscal  2022  to  6.66%  in 
fiscal  2023  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  cost  of 
short term money market borrowings and refinance 
borrowings,  offset,  in  part,  by  a  decrease  in  cost  of 
bond  borrowings.  The  cost  of  overseas  borrowings 
increased  by  218  basis  points  from  1.11%  in  fiscal 
2022  to  3.29%  in  fiscal  2023  primarily  due  to  an

 The Bank’s interest income, yield on advances, net interest 
income and net interest margin are impacted by systemic 
liquidity,  the  competitive  environment,  level  of  additions 
to  non-performing 
regulatory  developments, 
monetary  policy  and  economic  and  geopolitical  factors. 
Interest  rates  on  about  49.9%  of  Bank’s  domestic  loans 
are linked to external market benchmarks. The differential 
movements in the external benchmark rates compared to 
cost  of  funds  of  the  Bank  impact  the  Bank’s  net  interest 
income and net interest margin in fiscal 2024.

billion  in  fiscal  2022  to  `  120.60  billion  in  fiscal  2023 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  salary  cost,  provision  for 
retirement  benefit  obligations,  provision  for  performance 
bonus  and  performance-linked  retention  pay  and  fair 
value  accounting  of  employee  stock  options.  Salary  cost 
increased  primarily  due  to  impact  of  annual  increments, 
promotions  and  an  increase  in  average  staff  strength 
(number  of  employees  at  March  31,  2022:  105,844  and 
at  March  31,  2023:  129,020).  Provision  for  retirement

on fixed term contracts and interns.

Other administrative expenses

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

Provisions  and  contingencies 
for  tax)  decreased  from  `  86.41  billion  in  fiscal  2022  to

Provision for non-performing and other assets decreased 
from  a  provision  of  `  61.64  billion  in  fiscal  2022  to  a 
write-back  of  `  6.23  billion  in  fiscal  2023.  During  fiscal

2023.

Provision for investments increased from ` 3.77 billion in 
fiscal 2022 to ` 13.00 billion in fiscal 2023 primarily due to 
an increase in provision on debentures, equity shares and 
security receipts.

Provision  for  standard  assets  increased  from  `  4.49 
billion  in  fiscal  2022  to  `  5.80  billion  in  fiscal  2023.  The 
cumulative general provision held at March 31, 2023 was 
` 47.02 billion (March 31, 2022: ` 40.94 billion).

investments increased from ` 538.63 billion at March 31, 
2022 to ` 565.61 billion at March 31, 2023 primarily due 
to an increase in investment in bonds and debentures and 
pass through certificates, offset, in part, by a decrease in 
investment in foreign government securities.

At  March  31,  2023,  the  Bank  had  an  outstanding  net 
investment of ` 2.11 billion in security receipts issued by 
asset  reconstruction  companies  as  compared  to  `  8.07 
billion at March 31, 2022.

at March 31, 2022 to ` 732.01 billion at March 31, 2023 
primarily due to an increase in mark-to-market on foreign

accrued  on  loans  and  investments,  offset,  in  part,  by  a 
decrease  in  RIDF  and  related  deposits.  The  Bank  is  an

Other liabilities
Other liabilities increased by 20.8% from ` 689.83 billion 
at March 31, 2022 to ` 833.25 billion at March 31, 2023 
primarily due to an increase in mark-to-market on foreign 
exchange  and  derivative  transactions  and  contingency 
provision. The Bank is an active participant in the interest 
and foreign exchange derivative market. While the positive 
mark-to-market  on  such  transactions  are  accounted  in 
‘Other Assets’, the negative mark-to-market on offsetting

The  Bank  enters  into  foreign  exchange  contracts  in 
its  normal  course  of  business,  to  exchange  currencies 
at  a  prefixed  price  at  a  future  date.  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.  The  notional  principal  amount  of 
outstanding  forward  exchange  contracts  increased  from 
` 10,645.24 billion at March 31, 2022 to ` 15,330.22 billion 
at March 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in trading 
and market making activities in forwards to facilitate client 
flow and capture opportunities in the forward market.

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  decreased  from  `  25,912.44  billion  at  March  31, 
2022 to ` 25,089.18 billion at March 31, 2023.

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

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsMANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

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 Bank’s capital allocation framework is focused on growth in granular retail, SME/ business banking and rural lending 
and lending to the corporate sector with a focus on increase in lending to higher rated corporates. Net retail advances 
increased by 22.7% in fiscal 2023 compared to an increase of 18.7% in total advances. The share of net retail advances 
increased from 52.9% of net advances at March 31, 2022 to 53.9% of net advances at March 31, 2023. Including non-
fund based outstanding, the share of retail portfolio was 45.7% of the total portfolio at March 31, 2023.

The overseas loan portfolio in USD terms declined by 23.8% year-on-year at March 31, 2023. The year-on-year decrease 
in  the  overseas  loan  portfolio  was  primarily  due  to  decline  in  the  India-linked  trade  finance  book.  The  overseas  loan 
portfolio was 3.3% of the overall loan book at March 31, 2023. The corporate fund and non-fund outstanding, net of 
cash/bank/financial  institutions/insurance  backed  lending,  was  USD  2.70  billion  at  March  31,  2023.  Out  of  USD  2.70 
billion,  88.7%  of  the  outstanding  was  to  Indian  corporates  and  their  subsidiaries  and  joint  ventures  and  7.4%  of  the 
outstanding  was  to  non-India  companies  with  Indian  or  India-linked  operations  and  activities.  The  portfolio  in  this 
segment are primarily to well rated companies 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. The non-India linked corporate portfolio reduced by 52.3% from about USD 641.2 million year-on-year 
to USD 305.6 million at March 31, 2023.

assets being funded after adjusting for regulatory reserve 
requirement and directed lending requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of 
ICICI Bank Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

1. 

2. 

 We  have  audited  the  accompanying  standalone  financial  statements  of  ICICI  Bank  Limited  (‘the  Bank’),  which 
comprise  the  Standalone  Balance  Sheet  as  at  31  March  2023,  the  Standalone  Profit  and  Loss  Account,  and 
Standalone  Cash  Flow  Statement  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  standalone  financial  statements, 
including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (‘the standalone financial 
statements’).

 In  our  opinion  and  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according  to  the  explanations  given  to  us,  the  aforesaid 
standalone financial statements give the information required by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as well as the 
Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) and circulars and guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’) from time to 
time (‘RBI Guidelines’) in the manner so required for Banking companies and give a true and fair view in conformity 
with  the  Accounting  Standards  prescribed  under  section  133  of  the  Act  read  with  the  Companies  (Accounting 
Standards) Rules, 2021 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the 
Bank as at 31 March 2023, and its profit, and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

3. 

 We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) specified under section 143(10) of 
the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 standalone 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

4. 

 Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
standalone financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 
standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters.

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

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

Identification and provisioning of non-performing advances (NPA): 

Total Loans and Advances (Net of Provision) as at 31 March 2023: ` 10,196,383,053 (in ‘000s)

Provision for NPA as at 31 March 2023: ` 248,358,100 (in ‘000s)

(Refer Schedule 9, Schedule 17(3) and Schedule 18(17))

India’s 

The  Reserve  Bank  of 
(“RBI”)  guidelines 
on  Income  recognition  and  asset  classification  & 
Provisioning (“IRAC”) and other circulars and directives 
issued by the RBI from time to time, which prescribe the 
prudential norms for identification and

Our  audit  procedures  with  respect  to  this  matter 
included:

Tested  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of 
key  controls  (including  application  controls)  over 
approval, recording, monitoring and recovery of loans,

classification  of  performing  &  non-performing  assets 
(“NPA”)  and  the  minimum  provision  required  for  such 
assets. The Bank is required to have Board  approved 
policy as per IRAC guidelines for NPA identification & 
classification of advances and provision thereon.

The  provision  on  NPA  is  estimated  based  on  ageing 
and classification of NPAs, recovery estimates, nature 
of loan product, value of security and other qualitative 
factors  and  is  subject  to  the  minimum  provisioning 
norms  specified  by  RBI  and  approved  policy  of  the 
Bank in this regard.

The  Bank  is  also  required  to  apply  its  judgement  to 
determine  the  identification  and  provision  required 
against  NPAs  by  applying  quantitative  as  well  as 
qualitative factors. The risk of identification of NPAs is 
affected by factors like stress and liquidity concerns in 
certain sectors.

Additionally, the Bank makes provisions on exposures 
that  are  not  classified  as  NPA  including  advances 
to  certain  sectors  and  identified  advances  or  group 
advances.  These  are  classified  as  contingency 
provisions.

Since  the  identification  of  NPAs  and  provisioning  for 
advances  require  significant  level  of  estimation  and 
given  its  significance  to  the  overall  audit  including 
possible  observation  by  RBI  which  could  result  into 
disclosure 
in  the  financial  statements,  we  have 
ascertained identification and provisioning for NPAs as 
a key audit matter.

monitoring  overdue  /  stressed  accounts,  identification 
of NPA, provision for NPA and valuation of security and 
collateral  on  a  test  check  basis.  Further  obtained  an 
understanding of the contingency provision carried by 
the Bank and verified the underlying assumptions used 
by the Bank for such estimate.

Tested application controls included test of automated 
controls, reports and system reconciliations.

Reviewed  existence  and  effectiveness  of  monitoring 
mechanisms such as Internal Audit, Systems Audit, and 
Concurrent Audit as per the policies and procedures of 
the Bank;

Evaluated the governance process and review controls 
over  calculations  of  provision  of  non-performing 
advances, basis of provisioning in accordance with the 
Board approved policy.

Selected a sample of borrowers based on quantitative 
and  qualitative  risk  factors  for  their  assessment  of 
appropriate 
identification  &  classification  as  NPA 
including  computation  of  overdue  ageing  to  assess 
its  correct  classification  and  provision  amount  as  per

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

The  Bank  has  a  complex  IT  architecture  to  support 
its  day-to-day  business  operations.  High  volume  of 
transactions  is  processed  and  recorded  on  single  or 
multiple applications. 

The  reliability  and  security  of  IT  systems  plays  a  key 
role  in  the  business  operations  of  the  Bank.  Since 
large  volume  of  transactions  are  processed  daily,  the 
IT  controls  are  required  to  ensure  that  applications 
process data as expected and that changes are made 
in an appropriate manner. 

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. 

We  have  identified  ‘IT  systems  and  controls’  as  key 
audit  matter  because  of  the  high  level  automation, 
significant  number  of  systems  being  used  by  the 
management and the complexity of the IT architecture 
and its impact on the financial reporting system.

Our  Audit  procedures  with  respect  to  this  matter 
included: 

For testing the IT general controls, application controls 
and  IT  dependent  manual  controls,  we  involved  IT 
specialists as part of the audit. The team also assisted 
in testing the accuracy of the information produced by 
the Bank’s IT systems. 

Obtained  a  comprehensive  understanding  of 
IT 
applications  landscape  implemented  at  the  Bank.  It 
was  followed  by  process  understanding,  mapping  of 
applications to the  same and understanding financial 
risks posed by people-process and technology. 

Key  IT  audit  procedures  includes  testing  design  and 
operating effectiveness of key controls operating over 
user access management (which includes user access 
provisioning, de-provisioning, access review, password 
configuration review, segregation of duties and privilege 
access),  change  management  (which  include  change 
release in production environment are compliant to the 
defined procedures and segregation of environment is 
ensured), program development (which include review 
of data migration activity), computer operations (which 
includes  testing  of  key  controls  pertaining  to,  backup, 
Batch processing (including interface testing), incident 
management  and  data  centre  security),  System 
interface  controls.  This  included  testing  that  requests 
for  access  to  systems  were  appropriately  logged, 
reviewed, and authorized. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  the  design  and  operating 
effectiveness of certain automated controls, that were 
considered as key internal system controls over financial 
reporting  were  tested.  Using  various  techniques  such 
as inquiry, review of documentation / record / reports, 
observation, and re-performance. We also tested few 
controls using negative testing technique. 

Tested compensating controls and performed alternate 
procedures,  where  necessary.  In  addition,  understood 
where  relevant  changes  made  to  the  IT  landscape 
during the audit period.

Valuation of Derivatives

Particulars

Notional amounts

(Refer Schedule 12.III, 12.VI, 12.VII and 18(14)) 

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, 
valuation  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 obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, 
and  tested  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,  we  performed  an  independent 
reassessment  of  the  valuation  of  derivatives  and 
evaluated significant models and methodologies used 
in  valuation,  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  relevant 
RBI  regulations,  reasonableness  of  the  valuation 
methodology and the inputs used.

Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

6. 

 The  Bank’s  Board  of  Directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Annual Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s 
report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.

 Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially 
inconsistent with the standalone financial statements, or knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to 
be materially misstated. 

143

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

 When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to 
communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate action as applicable under the 
relevant laws and regulations.

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

7. 

 The Bank’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to 
the  preparation  and  presentation  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  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the 
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021, and provisions of Section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 
and circulars and guidelines issued by the RBI from time to time (‘RBI Guidelines’). This responsibility also includes 
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the RBI Guidelines 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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error.

8. 

 In preparing the standalone financial statements, Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, 
or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

9.  The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.

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

10.   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  SAs  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. 

11.   As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, 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 expressing our 
opinion on whether the Bank has adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial 
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;

144

Annual Report 2022-23  
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

• 

• 

• 

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by the Management;

 Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  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 standalone1 financial statements represent the underlying transactions and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

12.   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.

13.   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.

14.   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 year, 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.

even date] 

Report  on  the  Internal  Financial  Controls  with  reference  to  the  aforesaid  Standalone  Financial 
Statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Opinion

1. 

2. 

 We  have  audited  the  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  standalone  financial  statements  of  ICICI  Bank 
Limited (“the Bank”) as at 31 March 2023 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the 
Bank for the year ended on that date.

 In  our  opinion,  the  Bank  has,  in  all  material  respects,  an  adequate  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to 
standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements 
were operating effectively as at 31 March 2023, based on the internal control with reference to standalone 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 (ICAI) (the “Guidance Note”).

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

3. 

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

Auditors’ Responsibility

4. 

5. 

 Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Bank’s  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  standalone 
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the 
Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent 
applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply 
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate 
internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements was 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 internal financial controls 
with reference to standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial 
controls with reference to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial 
controls  with  reference  to  standalone  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 standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

6. 

 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 standalone financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements

7. 

 Bank’s internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide 
reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  standalone  financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Bank’s internal 
financial control with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 

148

Annual Report 2022-23 Annexure A (Contd.)

dispositions of the assets of the bank; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary 
to  permit  preparation  of  standalone  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the bank are being made only in accordance with authorizations 
of  management  and  directors  of  the  bank;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely 
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the bank’s assets that could have a material effect on 
the standalone financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to Standalone Financial Statements 

8. 

 Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone 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 standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial 
control with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, 
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

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.

Use of estimates

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.

Investments

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

 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.

Classification:

 All investments are classified into ‘Held to Maturity’ (HTM), ‘Available for Sale’ (AFS) and ‘Held for Trading’ (HFT) on 
the date of purchase as per the extant RBI guidelines on investment classification and valuation. 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.

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

Cost of acquisition:

 Costs, including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments paid at the time of acquisition and broken 
period interest (the amount of interest from the previous interest payment date till the date of purchase of instruments) 
on debt instruments, are charged to the profit and loss account.

  Valuation:

 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. The depreciation 
on securities acquired by way of conversion of outstanding loans is fully provided. Non-performing investments are 
identified based on the RBI guidelines.

 HTM 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.

 AFS and HFT 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 AFS, 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 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.

 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. 
Unquoted equity shares are valued at the break-up value, if the latest balance sheet is available, or at ` 1, as per  
RBI guidelines.

 The units of Venture Capital Funds (VCFs) are valued at the net asset value (NAV) declared by the VCF. If the latest 
balance  sheet  is  not  available  continuously  for  more  than  18  months,  the  units  of  VCF  are  valued  at  `  1,  as  per  
RBI guidelines.

 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 Bank makes additional provisions on the security receipts based on the remaining 
period for the resolution period to 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.

 The Bank assesses investments in subsidiaries for any other than temporary diminution in value and appropriate 
provisions are made.

 Depreciation/provision  on  non-performing  investments  is  made  as  per  internal  provisioning  norms,  subject  to 
minimum provisioning requirements of RBI.

  Disposal:

 Gain/loss on sale of investments is recognised in the profit and loss Account. Cost of investments is computed based 
on the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method. The profit from sale of investment under HTM category, net of taxes and 
transfer to statutory reserve is transferred to “Capital Reserve” in accordance with the RBI Guidelines.

Short sale:

 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.

Repurchase transactions:

 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.

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

Classification:

 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 but which are standard as per 
the extant RBI guidelines are classified as NPAs to the extent of amount outstanding in the respective host country. 
Further,  NPAs  are  classified  into  sub-standard,  doubtful  and  loss  assets  based  on  the  criteria  stipulated  by  RBI. 
Interest on non-performing advances is transferred to an interest suspense account and not recognised in profit and 
loss account until received.

 The  Bank  considers  an  account  as  restructured,  where  for  economic  or  legal  reasons  relating  to  the  borrower’s 
financial difficulty, the Bank grants concessions to the borrower, that the Bank would not otherwise consider. The 
moratorium granted to the borrowers based on RBI guidelines is not accounted as restructuring of loan. The RBI 
guidelines on ‘Resolution Framework for  COVID-19-related Stress’  provide  a  prudential  framework  for  resolution 
plan of certain loans. The borrowers where resolution plan was implemented under these guidelines are classified 
as standard restructured.

166

Annual Report 2022-23 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Accounts (Contd.) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Non-performing  and  restructured  loans  are  upgraded  to  standard  as  per  the  extant  RBI  guidelines  or  host  country 
regulations, as applicable.

Provisioning:

In the case of corporate loans and advances, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets as per internal 
provisioning  norms,  subject  to  minimum  provisioning  requirements  of  RBI.  Loss  assets  and  the  unsecured  portion  of 
doubtful assets are fully provided. For impaired loans and advances held in overseas branches, which are performing 
as per RBI guidelines, provisions are made as per the host country regulations. For loans and advances held in overseas 
branches, which are NPAs both as per the RBI guidelines and host country regulations, provisions are made at the higher 
of the provisions required as per internal provisioning norms and host country regulations. Provisions on homogeneous 
non-performing retail loans and advances, subject to minimum provisioning requirements of RBI, are made on the basis 
of  the  ageing  of  the  loan.  The  specific  provisions  on  non-performing  retail  loans  and  advances  held  by  the  Bank  are 
higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.

In respect of non-retail loans reported as fraud to RBI the entire amount, is provided 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 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.

The Bank makes provision on restructured loans subject to minimum requirements as per RBI guidelines. Provision due 
to diminution in the fair value of restructured/rescheduled loans and advances is made in accordance with the applicable 
RBI guidelines.

In terms of RBI guidelines, the NPAs are written-off in accordance with the Bank’s policy. Amounts recovered against bad 
debts written-off 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 Bank’s net funded 
exposure in respect of a country is less than 1% of its total assets, no provision is required on such country exposure.

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, on prudent basis, has made contingency provision on certain loan portfolios, including borrowers who had 
taken moratorium at any time during FY2021 under the extant RBI guidelines related to Covid-19 regulatory package. 
The Bank also makes additional contingency provision on certain standard assets. The contingency provision is included 
in ‘Schedule 5 - Other Liabilities and Provisions’.

167

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsFINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Accounts (Contd.) The Bank has a Board approved policy for making floating provision, 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.

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,  only  if  the  Bank  surrenders  the  right  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 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 based on the method prescribed in the guidelines. 
As  per  the  RBI  guidelines  issued  on  September  24,  2021,  gain  realised  at  the  time  of  securitisation  of  loans  is 
accounted through profit and loss account on completion of transaction. The Bank accounts for any loss arising from 
securitisation immediately at the time of sale.

 The unrealised gains, associated with expected future margin income is recognised in profit and loss account on 
receipt of cash, after absorbing losses, if any.

 Net income arising from sale of loan assets through direct assignment with recourse obligation is amortised over 
the life of underlying assets sold and net income from sale of loan assets through direct assignment, without any 
recourse obligation, is recognised at the time of sale. Net loss arising on account of direct assignment of loan assets 
is recognised at the time of sale. As per the RBI guidelines issued on September 24, 2021, any loss or realised gain 
from sale of loan assets through direct assignment is accounted through profit and loss account on completion of 
transaction.

 The acquired loans is carried at acquisition cost. In case premium is paid on a loan acquired, premium is amortised 
over the loan tenure.

 In accordance with RBI guidelines, in case of non-performing loans sold to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs), 
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.  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. Assets purchased/sold 
during the year are depreciated on a pro-rata basis for the actual number of days the asset has been capitalised. 
Assets individually costing upto ` 5,000/- are depreciated fully in the year of acquisition.

 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. 
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.  Translation of foreign currency items

 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 recognised 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, 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.  Foreign exchange and derivative contracts

 The forward exchange contracts that are not intended for trading and are entered into to establish the amount of 
reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction are effectively valued at closing spot 
rate. The premium or discount arising on inception of such forward exchange contracts is amortised over the life 
of the contract as interest income/expense. 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.

 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. The Bank identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the transaction itself. 
Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of the inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. Based on 
RBI circular issued on June 26, 2019, the accounting of hedge relationships established after June 26, 2019 is in 
accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts issued by ICAI. The swaps under hedge 
relationships established prior to that date are accounted on an accrual basis and are not marked to market unless 
their  underlying  transaction  is  marked-to-market.  Gains  or  losses  arising  from  hedge  ineffectiveness,  if  any,  are 
recognised in the profit and loss Account.

 The derivative contracts entered into for trading purposes are marked-to-market and the resulting gain or loss is 
accounted  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 options granted vest in a graded manner 
and may be exercised within a specified period.

 Till March 31, 2021, the Bank recognised cost of stock options granted under Employee Stock Option Scheme, using 
intrinsic value method. Under Intrinsic value method, options cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market 
price of the underlying stock over the exercise price on the grant date. The fair market price is the closing price on the 
stock exchange with highest trading volume of the underlying shares, immediately prior to the grant date.

 Pursuant  to  RBI  clarification  dated  August  30,  2021,  the  cost  of  stock  options  granted  after  March  31,  2021  is 
recognised based on fair value method. The cost of stock options granted up to March 31, 2021 continues to be 
recognised  on  intrinsic  value  method.  The  Bank  uses  Black-Scholes  model  to  fair  value  the  options  on  the  grant 
date and the inputs used in the valuation model include assumptions such as the expected life of the share option, 
volatility, risk free rate and dividend yield.

The cost of stock options is recognised in the profit and loss account over the vesting period.

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  recognised  trust  which  administers  the  funds  on  its  own  account  or 
through insurance companies.

170

Annual Report 2022-23 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Accounts (Contd.) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability is determined by an independent 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. The actuarial gains or losses arising during the 
year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Superannuation Fund and National Pension Scheme

 The Bank has a superannuation fund, a defined contribution plan, which is administered by trustees and managed 
by  insurance  companies.  The  Bank  contributes  15.0%  of  the  total  annual  basic  salary  for  certain  employees  to 
superannuation  funds.  Further,  the  Bank  contributes  upto  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  employees  are  given  an  option  to  receive  the  amount  in  cash  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. The Bank has no liability towards future benefits under superannuation 
fund and national pension scheme other than its annual contribution.

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 independent 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. The Bank recognises such contribution as 
an expense in the year in which it is incurred.

 Interest payable on provident fund should not be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central 
Government under the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Actuarial valuation for 
the interest obligation 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 and change in tax rate.

 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 by the balance sheet date. 
The impact of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account.

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

 For assets other than premises, the Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that 
an asset may be impaired. Impairment loss, if any, is provided in the profit and loss account to the extent the carrying 
amount of assets exceeds their estimated recoverable amount.

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 for 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.  Share issue expenses

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

15.  Bullion transaction

 The Bank deals in bullion business on a consignment basis. The bullion is priced to the customers based on the price 
quoted by the supplier. The difference between price recovered from customers and cost of bullion is accounted for 
as commission at the time of sales to the customers. The Bank also deals in bullion on a borrowing and lending basis 
and the interest expense/income is accounted on accrual basis.

16.  Lease transactions

 Lease payments, including cost escalations, 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 lease. 
Minimum lease payments under finance lease are apportioned between the finance costs and outstanding liability.

17.  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.

ended March 31, 2022: ` 7,988.8 million).

4.  Liquidity coverage ratio 

 The Basel Committee on 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. As per the RBI guidelines, the minimum LCR required to be maintained by 
banks is 100.0%.

Annual Report 2022-23 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Accounts (Contd.) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

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 ` 2,753,045.5 million 
(March 31, 2022: ` 2,790,136.8 million) at March 31, 2023. 

As per the RBI guidelines, the carve-out from SLR under FALLCR was 15.0% of Net Demand and Time Liabilities 
(NDTL)  till  April  17,  2022  and  was  increased  to  16.0%  of  NDTL  effective  April  18,  2022;  for  Marginal  Standing 
Facility (MSF), it was 2.0% of NDTL. Additionally, cash, balance in excess of cash reserve requirement with RBI and 
balances with central banks at our overseas branches locations amounted to ` 320,660.8 million at March 31, 2023 
(March 31, 2022: ` 263,064.3 million). Further, average level 2 assets, primarily consisting of AA- and above rated 
corporate  bonds  and  commercial  papers,  amounted  to  `  127,857.7  million  at  March  31,  2023  (March  31,  2022:  
` 76,569.7 million).

At March 31, 2023, top liability products/instruments and their percentage contribution to the total liabilities of the 
Bank  were  term  deposits  of  40.37%  (March  31,  2022:  38.67%),  savings  account  deposits  of  23.97%  (March  31, 
2022:  25.49%),  current  account  deposits  of  10.19%  (March  31,  2022:  11.22%)  and  bond  borrowings  of  4.26% 
(March 31, 2022: 4.96%). Top 20 depositors comprised 3.47% of the total deposits of the Bank at March 31, 2023 
(March 31, 2022: 5.26%). 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 2.48% of the total liabilities of the Bank 
at March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022: 2.37%).

The weighted cash outflows are primarily driven by unsecured wholesale funding which includes non-operational 
deposits  and  unsecured  debt.  During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2023,  unsecured  wholesale  funding 
contributed 60.57% (March 31, 2022: 63.61%) 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  constituted  18.17%  (March  31,  2022:  17.36%)  and  7.29% 
(March 31, 2022: 6.00%) of the total weighted cash outflows, respectively. The other contingent funding obligations 
primarily included bank guarantees (BGs) and letters of credit (LCs) issued on behalf of the Bank’s clients.

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 
margining and consequent collateral exchange would be as governed by Credit Support Annex (CSA). The Bank 
has entered into CSAs which would require maintenance of collateral. 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,  2023  was  124.13%  (March  31,  2022: 
131.09%). During the year ended March 31, 2023, other than Indian Rupee, USD was the only significant foreign 
currency which constituted more than 5% of the balance sheet size of the Bank. The average LCR of the Bank for 
USD  currency,  computed  based  on  daily  LCR  values,  was  83.68%  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2023  
(March 31, 2022: 256.23%).

Information about business and geographical segments 

Business Segments 

 Pursuant  to  the  guidelines  issued  by  RBI  on  AS  17  -  Segment  Reporting,  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.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the business segment results on this basis.

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 10.0% 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. 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 vested at the end of four years from the date of grant. Certain 
options granted in May 2018, vested to the extent of 50% on May 2021 and balance 50% 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. 

The weighted average fair value, based on Black-Scholes model, of options granted during the year ended March 31, 
2023 was ` 291.15 (year ended March 31, 2022: ` 227.75).

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

0.18% to 0.30%

0.27% to 0.72%

 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.

14.  Derivatives 

 The  Bank  is  a  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  and  Securities  Service 
Group (TSSG) 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 Executive Director of the Bank.

 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.

 Based on RBI circular issued on June 26, 2019, the accounting of hedge relationships established after June 26, 2019 
is in accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts issued by ICAI. The swaps under 
hedge  relationships  established  prior  to  that  date  are  accounted  for  on  an  accrual  basis  and  are  not  marked  to 
market unless their underlying transaction is marked-to-market. Gains or losses arising from hedge ineffectiveness, 
if any, are recognised in the profit and loss Account. The premium on option contracts is accounted for as per Foreign 
Exchange Dearlers 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 Board of Directors has authorised ALCO to review and approve matters, as applicable, pertaining to the LIBOR 
transition  to  alternate  risk  free  rates.  A  LIBOR  Working  Group  has  been  constituted  which  reviews  the  progress 
on the international front, and the work carried out alongside Indian Banking Association (IBA). An update on the 
activities on the LIBOR transition and the proceedings of the Working Group are presented quarterly to ALCO. The 
necessary changes were implemented in the treasury system of the Bank to handle the transition of existing trades 
to  the  alternate  risk  free  rates.  The  transition  was  carried  out  for  the  LIBORs  (GBP,  JPY,  EUR,  CHF)  that  ceased 
on December 31, 2021. USD LIBORs are expected to cease at the end of June 2023. There is sufficient liquidity in 
market for USD LIBOR linked trades. The Bank does not expect material valuation risk arising out of non-alignment 
of fallback provisions of commercially linked positions i.e., trading deals and on the existing hedge deals of the Bank. 

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

  1. Computed as per RBI Master Circular on Exposure Norms dated July 1, 2015.

  2. Amounts given are absolute values on a net basis.

 As  per  the  Master  circular  on  Basel  III  Capital  Regulations  issued  by  RBI  on  April  1,  2022  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, 
counterparty exposure has been fully off-set 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, 2023, collateral utilised against the exposure was ` 11,761.9 million (March 31, 2022: ` 7,762.9 
million), excess collateral posted over the exposure was ` 1,118.2 million (March 31, 2022: ` 1,959.5 million) and the 
net credit exposure on Foreign exchange and derivatives, subsequent to collateral netting, was ` 779,752.9 million 
(March 31, 2022: ` 620,386.1 million).

 The net overnight open position (NOOP) at March 31, 2023 (as per last NOOP value reported to RBI for the year 
ended March 31, 2023) was ` 4,710.8 million (March 31, 2022: ` 6,202.9 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, 2023 (March 31, 2022: Nil).

16.  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. 

 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  Alternative  Reference  Rates  (ARR)  like  Sterling  Overnight 
Index Average (SONIA), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (TONAR). 

 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.

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

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the details of the FRA/IRS contracts.

extant RBI guidelines, are classified as NPAs to the extent of amount outstanding in the host country. At March 31,

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, 2022 and for the year 
ended March 31, 2021

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.

Other items for 
which the Bank is 
contingently liable

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.

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 (S), 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  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.

 The  following  table  sets  forth,  for  the  periods  indicated,  the  movement  in  provision  for  legal  and  fraud  cases, 
operational risk and other contingencies.

 The provision for income tax (including deferred tax) for the year ended March 31, 2023 amounted to ` 105,247.3 
million (March 31, 2022: ` 72,693.9 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.

43.  Deferred tax

 At March 31, 2023, the Bank has recorded net deferred tax assets of ` 75,034.5 million (March 31, 2022: ` 77,732.7

Compensation Policy and practices 

(A)  Qualitative Disclosures

a)  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

of  the  performance  of  the  whole  time/  independent  Directors  and  the  Board  and  to  extend  or 
continue the term of appointment of independent Directors 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,  Material  Risk  takers  (MRTs)  and  other  employees, 
recommending to the Board the remuneration (including performance bonus, share-linked instruments 
and  perquisites)  to  wholetime  Directors  (WTDs)  and  senior  management,  approving  the  policy  for

 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, 2023, 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 in its meeting dated October 21, 
2022  and  the  Board  at  its  meeting  held  on  October  22,  2022  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, 2023 was 126,660.

b)  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 performance 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 variable pay based on the financial and strategic plan 
approved by the Board. The KPIs include both quantitative and qualitative aspects defined with 
sub parameters. The BGRNC assesses organisational performance and based on its assessment, 
it makes recommendations to the Board the compensation for WTDs, & equivalent positions and 
senior management subject to necessary approvals, wherever applicable.

• 

 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,  other  assurance  areas  and 
customer service. The Bank’s Employees stock option scheme and Employees stock unit scheme aim 
at aligning compensation to long-term performance through grants that vest over a period of time. 
Compensation of staff in audit, compliance and risk control functions is independent of the business 
areas they oversee. 

 Changes, if any, made by the remuneration committee in 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, 2023, the Bank’s Compensation Policy was reviewed by the BGRNC 
and the Board as below:

early retirement or termination of services of the employee as per the 
terms mentioned in the compensation policy.

• 

 Process  followed  by  the  Bank  to  ensure  that  the  risk  and  compliance  employees  are  remunerated 
independently of the businesses they oversee

 The compensation of staff engaged in control functions like Audit, Risk and Compliance depends on 
their performance, which is based on achievement of the key goals of their respective functions. They 
are not assessed on business targets.

c)  Ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes.

• 

Key risks that the Bank takes into account when implementing remuneration measures

 The Board approves the Enterprise Risk Management framework (ERM) for the Bank. The business 
activities of the Bank are undertaken within this framework. The r RAF includes the definition of risk 
capacity, risk appetite statements and drill down of the same into limits /thresholds for various risk 
categories. The Bank’s KPIs which are applicable to WTDs & equivalent positions as well as employees 
(excluding control functions), incorporate relevant risk management related aspects. For example, in 
FY2023 in addition to performance indicators in areas such as risk calibrated core operating profit 
(profit before provisions and tax excluding treasury income), performance indicators included aspects 
such as asset quality, risk management framework, stakeholder relationships, customer service and 
leadership development. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing 
organisational performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board.

•  Nature and type of key measures used to take account of these risks, including risk difficult to measure

 The  annual  Key  Performance  Indicators  and  performance  evaluation  incorporated  both  qualitative 
and  quantitative  aspects  including  asset  quality  and  provisioning,  risk  management  framework, 
stakeholder relationships, customer service and leadership development.

•  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. 
The  Bank’s  KPIs  which  are  applicable  to  WTDs  and  equivalent  positions  as  well  as  employees 
(excluding control functions), incorporate relevant risk management related aspects and regulatory 
compliance. For example in FY2023, in addition to risk calibrated core operating profit, performance 
indicators  also  included  aspects  such  as  asset  quality  risk  management  framework,  stakeholder 
relationships, customer service and leadership development. The BGRNC takes into consideration all 
the  above  aspects  while  assessing  organisational  performance  and  making  compensation-related 
recommendations to the Board.

• 

 The nature and type of these measures that 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) 

 Ways in whic h the Bank seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period with 
levels of remuneration

•  Main performance metrics for Bank, top level business lines and individuals

 The main performance metrics for FY2023 included risk calibrated core operating profit (profit before 
provisions and tax, excluding treasury income), asset quality metrics (such as provisions in absolute 
terms  and  as  a  percentage  of  core  operating  profit),  regulatory  compliance,  risk  management 
processes, stakeholder relationships, customer service and leadership development.

 Methodology  followed  whereby  individual  remuneration  is  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  measures  that  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/clawback on none, part or all of 
the relevant variable compensation

e)  Ways in which the Bank seeks to adjust remuneration to take account of the longer term performance

• 

 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 variable compensation is in the form of share-linked instruments) or cash or a mix of cash and 
share-linked instruments (The quantum of variable pay for an employee does not exceed a certain 
percentage (as stipulated in the compensation policy) of the total fixed pay in a year. The proportion 
of variable pay to total compensation is higher at senior levels and lower at junior levels. At least 50% 
of the compensation is variable for WTDs, CEO and MRTs as a design. However, they can earn lesser 
variable pay based on various performance criteria. For WTDs, CEO and MRTs, a minimum of 60% 
of the total variable pay is under deferral arrangement (deferment). Additionally, at least 50% of the 
cash component of the variable pay is under deferment. If the cash component is under ` 2.5 million, 
the deferment is not applicable.

• 

 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 pertaining to the assessment year or previous year/s (as defined 
in the policy) is subject to malus, under which the Bank prevents vesting of all or part or none of the 
unvested variable pay in the event of the assessed divergence in the Bank’s provisioning for NPAs 
or in the event of a reasonable evidence of deterioration in financial performance or in the event of 
gross misconduct and/or other acts as mentioned in the policy. In such cases (other than assessed 
divergence),  variable  pay  already  paid  out  may  also  be  subjected  to  clawback  arrangements,  as 
defined in the compensation policy.

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

• 

 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 variable compensation is in the form of share-linked instruments or cash or a mix of cash and 
share-linked  instruments.  The  Bank  pays  performance  linked  retention  pay  (PLRP)  to  its  front-line 
staff  and  junior  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  pays  performance  bonus  and  share-linked  instruments  to  relevant 
employees in its middle and senior management. The variable pay payout schedules are sensitive to 
the time horizon of risks as defined in the policy.

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

 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 new 
regulatory  guidelines  and  clarifications  in  some  critical  areas  of  Ind  AS  application,  which  the  Bank  will  need  to 
suitably incorporate in its implementation.

57.  Disclosure on lending and borrowing activities

 The Bank, as part of its normal banking business, grants loans and advances, makes investment, provides guarantees 
to and accept deposits and borrowings from its customers, other entities and persons. These transactions are part

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of 
ICICI Bank Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Opinion

1. 

2. 

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of ICICI Bank Limited (hereinafter referred to 
as the “Bank” or ‘Holding Company’) and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred 
to as “the Group”), and its associates, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2023, the 
Consolidated  Profit  and  Loss  account,  and  the  Consolidated  Cash  Flow  Statement  for  the  year  then  ended,  and 
notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other 
explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”).

 In  our  opinion  and  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according  to  the  explanations  given  to  us,  and  based  on 
consideration of the reports of the other auditors on separate financial statements and the other financial information 
of subsidiaries and associates, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the 
Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as well as the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), and circulars and guidelines issued 
by  the  Reserve  Bank  of  India  (‘RBI’)  from  time  to  time  (‘RBI  Guidelines’)  in  the  manner  so  required  for  banking 
companies and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 
of the Act read with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021 and other and other accounting principles 
generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and its associates as at 31 March 2023, 
and their consolidated profit, and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

3. 

 We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) specified under section 143(10) of 
the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements 
in India in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by Institute of Chartered Accountant of India (‘ICAI’), and the relevant 
provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance 
with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained along with the consideration of audit 
reports of other auditors referred to in the “Other Matters” paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to provide 
a basis for our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

4. 

 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 other financial information of the subsidiaries and 
associates, as referred to in paragraph 17 below, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial 
statements  of  the  current  year.  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.

Annual Report 2022-23 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

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

Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Identification and provisioning of non-performing advances (NPA): 

Total  Loans  and  Advances  (Net  of  Provision)  as  at  31  March  2023:  `  10,838,663,147  (in  ‘000s)  Provision  for 
NPA as at 31 March 2023: ` 256,291,070 (in ‘000s) of which Total Loans and Advances (Net of Provision) as at  
31  March  2023:  `  10,196,383,053  (in  ‘000s)*  &  Provision  for  NPA  as  at  31  March  2023:  `  248,358,100  
(in ‘000s)* relates to Bank.

(Refer Schedule 9, Schedule 17(13))

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

India’s 

The  Reserve  Bank  of 
(“RBI”)  guidelines 
on  Income  recognition  and  asset  classification  & 
Provisioning (“IRAC”) and other circulars and directives 
issued by the RBI from time to time, which prescribe the 
prudential norms for identification and classification of 
performing  &  non-performing  assets  (“NPA”)  and  the 
minimum provision required for such assets. The Bank 
is required to have Board approved policy as per IRAC 
guidelines  for  NPA  identification  &  classification  of 
advances and provision thereon.

The  provision  on  NPA  is  estimated  based  on  ageing 
and classification of NPAs, recovery estimates, nature 
of loan product, value of security and other qualitative 
factors  and  is  subject  to  the  minimum  provisioning 
norms  specified  by  RBI  and  approved  policy  of  the 
Bank in this regard.

The  Bank  is  also  required  to  apply  its  judgement  to 
determine  the  identification  and  provision  required 
against  NPAs  by  applying  quantitative  as  well  as 
qualitative factors. The risk of identification of NPAs is 
affected by factors like stress and liquidity concerns in 
certain sectors.

Additionally, the Bank makes provisions on exposures 
that  are  not  classified  as  NPA  including  advances 
to  certain  sectors  and  identified  advances  or  group 
advances.  These  are  classified  as  contingency 
provisions.

Since  the  identification  of  NPAs  and  provisioning  for 
advances  require  significant  level  of  estimation  and 
given  its  significance  to  the  overall  audit  including 
possible  observation  by  RBI  which  could  result  into 
disclosure 
in  the  financial  statements,  we  have 
ascertained identification and provisioning for NPAs as 
a key audit matter.

Our  audit  procedures  with  respect  to  this  matter 
included:

Tested  the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of 
key  controls  (including  application  controls)  over 
approval, recording, monitoring and recovery of loans, 
monitoring  overdue  /  stressed  accounts,  identification 
of NPA, provision for NPA and valuation of security and 
collateral  on  a  test  check  basis.  Further  obtained  an 
understanding of the contingency provision carried by 
the Bank and verified the underlying assumptions used 
by the Bank for such estimate.

Tested application controls included test of automated 
controls, reports and system reconciliations.

Reviewed  existence  and  effectiveness  of  monitoring 
mechanisms such as Internal Audit, Systems Audit, and 
Concurrent Audit as per the policies and procedures of 
the Bank;

Evaluated the governance process and review controls 
over  calculations  of  provision  of  non-performing 
advances, basis of provisioning in accordance with the 
Board approved policy.

Selected a sample of borrowers based on quantitative 
and  qualitative  risk  factors  for  their  assessment  of 
appropriate 
identification  &  classification  as  NPA 
including  computation  of  overdue  ageing  to  assess 
its  correct  classification  and  provision  amount  as  per 
extant IRAC norms and the Bank policy.

Performed other substantive procedures included and 
not limited to the following:

Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

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

The  Bank  has  a  complex  IT  architecture  to  support 
its  day-to-day  business  operations.  High  volume  of 
transactions  is  processed  and  recorded  on  single  or 
multiple applications.

The  reliability  and  security  of  IT  systems  plays  a  key 
role  in  the  business  operations  of  the  Bank.  Since 
large  volume  of  transactions  are  processed  daily,  the 
IT  controls  are  required  to  ensure  that  applications 
process data as expected and that changes are made 
in an appropriate manner.

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.

We  have  identified  ‘IT  systems  and  controls’  as  key 
audit  matter  because  of  the  high  level  automation, 
significant  number  of  systems  being  used  by  the 
management and the complexity of the IT architecture 
and its impact on the financial reporting system.

Our  Audit  procedures  with  respect  to  this  matter 
included:

For testing the IT general controls, application controls 
and  IT  dependent  manual  controls,  we  involved  IT 
specialists as part of the audit. The team also assisted 
in testing the accuracy of the information produced by 
the Bank’s IT systems.

Obtained  a  comprehensive  understanding  of 
IT 
applications  landscape  implemented  at  the  Bank.  It 
was  followed  by  process  understanding,  mapping  of 
applications to the  same and understanding financial 
risks posed by people-process and technology.

Key  IT  audit  procedures  includes  testing  design  and 
operating effectiveness of key controls operating over 
user access management (which includes user access 
provisioning, de-provisioning, access review, password 
configuration review, segregation of duties and privilege 
access),  change  management  (which  include  change 
release in production environment are compliant to the 
defined procedures and segregation of environment is 
ensured), program development (which include review 
of data migration activity), computer operations (which 
includes  testing  of  key  controls  pertaining  to,  backup, 
Batch processing (including interface testing), incident 
management  and  data  centre  security),  System 
interface  controls.  This  included  testing  that  requests 
for  access  to  systems  were  appropriately  logged, 
reviewed, and authorized.

In  addition  to  the  above,  the  design  and  operating 
effectiveness of certain automated controls, that were 
considered as key internal system controls over financial 
reporting  were  tested.  Using  various  techniques  such 
as inquiry, review of documentation / record / reports, 
observation, and re-performance. We also tested few 
controls using negative testing technique.

Tested compensating controls and performed alternate 
procedures,  where  necessary.  In  addition,  understood 
where  relevant  changes  made  to  the  IT  landscape 
during the audit period.

(31 March 2022 – ` 43,893,514,404 (in ‘000s)), of which the following relate to the Bank:

(Refer Schedule 12.III, 12.VI, 12.VII, Schedule 18(14) to the standalone financial statements)

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

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, 
valuation  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  obtained  an  understanding,  evaluated  the 
design,  and  tested  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,  we  performed  an  independent 
reassessment  of  the  valuation  of  derivatives  and 
evaluated significant models and methodologies used 
in  valuation,  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  relevant 
RBI  regulations,  reasonableness  of  the  valuation 
methodology and the inputs used.

 The Holding Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises 
the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our 
auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date of this auditor’s

 When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to 
communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate action as applicable under the 
relevant laws and regulations.

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

7. 

 The Holding Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with 
respect  to  the  preparation  and  presentation  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 
Group including its associates in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including 
the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Accounting Standard) 
Rules, 2021, provisions of Section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and circulars and guidelines issued by the 
Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’) from time to time (‘RBI Guidelines’). The respective Board of Directors of the Holding 
Company and the subsidiary companies included in the Group and of its associate companies are responsible for 
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the RBI guidelines 
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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, 
that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the 
preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of 
the consolidated financial statements by the Management and Directors of the Bank, as aforesaid.

8. 

 In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in 
the Group and of its associates are responsible  for  assessing the  ability  of  the  respective  companies  included in 
the Group and of its associates to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going 
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to 
liquidate the companies included in the Group and its associates or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative 
but to do so.

9. 

 The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are also responsible 
for overseeing the financial reporting process of the subsidiary companies included in the Group and of its associates.

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

10.   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 SAs 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.

11.   As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, 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 expressing our 
opinion on whether the Bank has adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial 
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls;

251

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Contd.)

• 

• 

• 

• 

 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by the 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 and its associates to cease to continue as a going 
concern;

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

 Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group 
and its associates to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the 
direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the 
consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in 
the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by 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.

12.   We  communicate  with  those  charged  with  governance  of  the  Bank  and  such  other  entities  included  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  of  which  we  are  the  independent  auditors  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.

13.   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.

14.   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 year 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 Auditors’ Report on the Consolidated 
Financial Statements Of ICICI Bank Limited for the year ended 31 March 2023

(Referred to in paragraph “22f” under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of 
even date)

Report  on  the  Internal  Financial  Controls  with  reference  to  the  aforesaid  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

Opinion

1. 

2. 

 In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Bank as of and for the year ended 31 
March 2023, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of 
ICICI Bank Limited (“the Holding Company”) and its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, which are 
companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

 In  our  opinion,  and  based  on  the  consideration  of  the  reports  of  the  other  auditors  on  internal  financial  controls 
with  reference  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  to  the  best  of  our  information  and  according  to  the 
explanations  given  to  us,  the  Holding  Company,  its  subsidiary  companies  and  its  associate  companies,  which 
are  companies  incorporated  in  India,  have,  in  all  material  respects,  an  adequate  internal  financial  controls  with 
reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to consolidated 
financial statements were operating effectively as at 31 March 2023, based on the internal control with reference 
to  consolidated  financial  statements  criteria  established  by  the  respective  companies  considering  the  essential 
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial 
Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“the ICAI”).

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for Internal Financial Controls

3. 

 The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, 
to  whom  reporting  under  clause  (i)  of  sub-section  143  of  the  Act  in  respect  of  adequacy  of  the  internal  control 
with reference to financial statements is applicable, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for 
establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to consolidated 
financial  statements  criteria  established  by  the  respective  companies  considering  the  essential  components  of 
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (‘the 
Guidance Note’) issued by the 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 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 Consolidated  
Financial Statements

4. 

5. 

 Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial 
statements of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, which are companies 
incorporated in India, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued 
by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to 
an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical 
requirements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  adequate  internal 
financial controls with reference to consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal 
financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such 
internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  consolidated  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 

257

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsAnnexure A (Contd.)

assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of 
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

6. 

 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 paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of the Holding 
Company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies, which are companies incorporated in India.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with Reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements

7. 

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

Inherent  Limitations  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  with  Reference  to  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements

8. 

 Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial 
controls  with  reference  to  consolidated  financial  statements  may  become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in 
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Other Matters

9. 

 The auditors of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited have reported, ‘The actuarial valuation of liabilities 
for  life  policies  in  force  and  policies  in  respect  of  which  premium  has  been  discontinued  but  liability  exists  as  at 
31  March  2023  has  been  certified  by  the  Appointed  Actuary  as  per  the  IRDA  Financial  Statements  Regulations, 
and has been relied upon by us, as mentioned in “Other Matters” of our audit report on the standalone financial 
statements  for  the  year  ended  31  March  2023.  Accordingly,  our  opinion  on  the  internal  financial  controls  with 
reference to standalone financial statements does not include reporting on the design and 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 Appointed Actuary (the “Appointed 
Actuary”). The actuarial valuation of these liabilities, that are estimated using statistical methods as at 31 March 2023 
has been duly certified by the Appointed 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 
them as mentioned in “Other Matters” paragraph in our Audit Report on the financial statements for the year ended 
31  March  2023.  Accordingly,  our  opinion  on  the  internal  financial  controls  with  reference  to  financial  reporting 

258

Annual Report 2022-23  
Annexure A (Contd.)

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.   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.

12.   Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal 
financial  controls  system  with  reference  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  so  far  as  it  relates  to  ten

corresponding reports of the auditors of such subsidiaries and associates incorporated in India.

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 or where 
the objective of control is not to obtain economic benefit from their activities. All significant inter-company balances and 
transactions with subsidiaries and entities consolidated as per AS 21 have been 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)  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.  Translation of foreign currency items

 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 recognised 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, 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.

 Income  from  securities  brokerage  activities  is  recognised  as  income  on  the  trade  date  of  the  transaction. 
Brokerage income in relation to public or other issuances of securities is recognised based on mobilisation and 
terms of agreement with the client.

 Life insurance premium for non-linked policies is recognised as income (net of goods and service tax) when 
due from policyholders. For unit 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

the terms and conditions of the policy and are recognised when due.

n) 

 In case of life insurance business, reinsurance premium ceded/accepted is accounted in accordance with the 
terms of the relevant treaties/arrangements with the reinsurer/insurer. Profit commission on reinsurance ceded 
is netted off against premium ceded on reinsurance.

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 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 options granted vest in a graded 
manner and may be exercised within a specified period.

 Till March 31, 2021, the Bank recognised cost of stock options granted under Employee Stock Option Scheme, using 
intrinsic value method. Under Intrinsic value method, options 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.

 Pursuant  to  RBI  clarification  dated  August  30,  2021,  the  cost  of  stock  options  granted  after  March  31,  2021  is 
recognised based on fair value method. The cost of stock options granted up to March 31, 2021 continues to be 
recognised  on  intrinsic  value  method.  The  Bank  uses  Black-Scholes  model  to  fair  value  the  options  on  the  grant 
date and the inputs used in the valuation model include assumptions such as the expected life of the share option, 
volatility, risk free rate and dividend yield.

 The cost of stock options is recognised in the profit and loss account over the vesting period.

 ICICI  Prudential  Life  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  intrinsic  value 
method is followed by them to account for their 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 closing price on the stock exchange with the 
highest trading volume of the underlying shares of the Bank, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and 
ICICI Securities Limited, immediately prior to the grant date.

 The banking subsidiaries namely, ICICI Bank UK PLC and ICICI Bank Canada, account for the cost of the options 
granted to employees by ICICI Bank using the fair value method as followed by the Bank.

4.   Income taxes

 Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax expense incurred by the Group. The 
current tax expense and deferred tax expense is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 

277

Integrated ReportStatutory ReportsFinancial StatementsCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 and change in tax rate.

 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 by 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 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.  Amount 
payable on lapsed/discontinued policies are accounted for on expiry of lock-in-period of these policies. Surrenders, 
withdrawals and lapsation are disclosed at net of charges recoverable. Claim settlement cost, legal and other fees 
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 actuarial liabilities for life policies in force and policies where premiums 
are discontinued but a liability exists as at the valuation date, are calculated in accordance with accepted actuarial 
practice, requirements of Insurance Act, 1938, as amended from time to time, and regulations notified by the Insurance 
Regulatory and Development Authority of India, relevant Guidance Notes and Actuarial Practice Standards of the 
Institute of Actuaries of India.

7.  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.

278

Annual Report 2022-23 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 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 4.99% to 6.58% per annum (previous year – 
3.67% to 6.30% per annum).

 Mortality rates used are based on the published “Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-2014) Ult.” mortality table 
for assurances and “Indian Individual Annuitant’s Mortality Table (2012-15)” 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 least at current levels, in respect of renewal expenses, with no allowance for future 
improvements. Per policy renewal expenses for regular premium policies are assumed to inflate at 4.90% per annum 
(previous year – 4.59%).

8.  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.

9.  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 recognised trusts which administer the funds on their own account or 
through insurance companies.

 Actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability is determined by an independent 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. The actuarial gains or losses arising during the 
year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

 Superannuation Fund and National Pension Scheme

 The Bank has a superannuation fund, a defined contribution plan, which is administered by trustees and managed 
by  insurance  companies.  The  Bank  contributes  15.0%  of  the  total  annual  basic  salary  for  certain  employees  to 
superannuation  funds.  ICICI  Prudential  Life  Insurance  Company  Limited,  ICICI  Prudential  Asset  Management 
Company Limited, ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited and ICICI Investment 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 upto 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 
employees are given an option to receive the amount in cash 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. The Group has no liability towards future benefits under superannuation 
fund and national pension scheme other than its annual contribution.

 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 

279

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 independent 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. The Group recognises 
such contribution as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.

 Interest payable on provident fund should not be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central 
Government under the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Actuarial valuation for 
the interest obligation 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.

10.  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.

11.  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.

 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.

 All  investments  are  classified  into  ‘Held  to  Maturity’  (HTM),  ‘Available  for  Sale’  (AFS)  and  ‘Held  for  Trading’ 
(HFT)  on  the  date  of  purchase  as  per  the  extant  RBI  guidelines  on  investment  classification  and  valuation. 
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.

 Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified as HFT 
securities. Investments which the Bank intends to hold till maturity are classified as HTM securities. Investments 
which are not classified in either of the above categories are classified under AFS securities.

 Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments paid at the time of acquisition and broken 
period  interest  (the  amount  of  interest  from  the  previous  interest  payment  date  till  the  date  of  purchase  of 
instruments) on debt instruments are charged to the profit and loss account.

 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.  The 
depreciation on securities acquired by way of conversion of outstanding loans is fully provided. Non-performing 
investments are identified based on the RBI guidelines.

 HTM 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.

 AFS and HFT 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 AFS, 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 ‘AFS’ and ‘HFT’ categories is as per the rates published by 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.

 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. 
Unquoted equity shares are valued at the break-up value, if the latest balance sheet is available, or at ` 1, as 
per RBI guidelines.

 The units of Venture Capital Funds (VCFs) are valued at the net asset value (NAV) declared by the VCF. If the 
latest balance sheet is not available continuously for more than 18 months, the units of VCF are valued at ` 1, 
as per RBI guidelines.

 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 Bank makes additional provisions on the security receipts 
based on the remaining period to 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.

 Depreciation/provision on non-performing investments is made as per internal provisioning norms, subject to 
minimum provisioning requirements of RBI.

 Gain/loss on sale of investments is recognised in the profit and loss account. Cost of investments is computed 
based on the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method. The profit from sale of investment under HTM category, net of 
taxes and transfer to statutory reserve is transferred to “Capital Reserve” in accordance with the 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.

 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.

iii) 

iv) 

 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 ‘AFS’/‘Fair 
Value Through Other Comprehensive Income’ (FVOCI) category directly in their reserves. Further unrealised gain/
loss on investment in ‘HFT’/‘Fair Value Through Profit and Loss’ (FVTPL) category is accounted directly in the profit 
and loss account. Investments in ‘HTM’/‘amortised cost’ category are carried at amortised cost.

 In the case of life insurance business, 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.

 Valuation of investments (other than linked business) is done on the following basis:

a. 

b. 

 All debt securities including government securities and redeemable preference shares are considered as ‘held 
to maturity’ and stated at historical cost, subject to amortisation of premium or accretion of discount over the 
period of maturity/holding on a constant yield basis.

 Listed equity shares and equity exchange traded funds (ETF) 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). Unlisted 
equity  shares  are  stated  at  acquisition  cost  less  impairment,  if  any.  Equity  shares  lent  under  the  Securities 
Lending and Borrowing scheme (SLB) continue to be recognised in the Balance Sheet as the Company retains 
all the associated risks and rewards of these securities. Non-traded and thinly traded equity share are valued at 
last available price on NSE/BSE or the value derived using valuation principle of net worth per share, whichever 
is lower.

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.

  The Bank’s life insurance subsidiary 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 
previously impaired loss is also reversed on disposal/realisation of securities and results thereon are recognised.

 The total proportion of investments for which subsidiaries have applied accounting policies different from the Bank 
as mentioned above, is approximately 21.95% of the total investments at March 31, 2023.

13.  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:

  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 but 
which are standard as per the extant RBI guidelines, are classified as NPAs to the extent of amount outstanding 
in the respective host country. Further, NPAs are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based 
on the criteria stipulated by RBI. Interest on non-performing advances is transferred to an interest suspense 
account and not recognised in profit and loss account until received.

  The Bank considers an account as restructured, where for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s 
financial difficulty, the Bank grants concessions to the borrower, that the Bank would not otherwise consider. 
The moratorium granted to the borrowers based on RBI guidelines is not accounted as restructuring of loan. 
The RBI guidelines on ‘Resolution Framework for COVID-19-related Stress’ provide a prudential framework for 
resolution plan of certain loans. The borrowers where resolution plan was implemented under these guidelines 
are classified as standard restructured.

  In the case of corporate loans and advances, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets as 
per  internal  provisioning  norms,  subject  to  minimum  provisioning  requirements  of  RBI.  Loss  assets  and  the 
unsecured  portion  of  doubtful  assets  are  fully  provided.  For  impaired  loans  and  advances  held  in  overseas 
branches, which are performing as per RBI guidelines, provisions are made as per the host country regulations. 
For  loans  and  advances  held  in  overseas  branches,  which  are  NPAs  both  as  per  RBI  guidelines  and  host 
country  guidelines,  provisions  are  made  at  the  higher  of  the  provisions  required  as  per  internal  provisioning

norms and host country regulations. Provisions on homogeneous non-performing retail loans and advances, 
subject  to  minimum  provisioning  requirements  of  RBI,  are  made  on  the  basis  of  the  ageing  of  the  loan.  The 
specific provisions on non-performing retail loans and advances held by the Bank are higher than the minimum 
regulatory requirements.

  In respect of non-retail loans reported as fraud to RBI, the entire amount is provided 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 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.

  The  Bank  makes  provision  on  restructured  loans  subject  to  minimum  requirements  as  per  RBI  guidelines. 
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  or  host 
country regulations, as applicable.

  In terms of RBI guideline, the NPAs are written-off in accordance with the Bank’s policy. Amounts recovered 
against bad debts written-off 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  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, on prudent basis, has made contingency provision on certain loan portfolios, including borrowers 
who  had  taken  moratorium  at  any  time  during  FY2021  under  the  extant  RBI  guidelines  related  to  Covid-19 
regulatory  package.  The  Bank  also  makes  additional  contingency  provision  on  certain  standard  assets.  The 
contingency provision is included in ‘Schedule 5 - Other Liabilities and Provisions’.

  The Bank has a Board approved policy for making floating provision, 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.

 In the case of the Bank’s housing finance subsidiary, loans and other credit facilities are classified as per the 
Master Directions – Non Banking Financial Company – Housing Finance Companies (Reserve Bank) Directions, 
2021  issued  by  Reserve  Bank  of  India  (‘Master  Direction’).  Further,  NPAs  are  classified  into  sub-standard, 
doubtful and loss assets based on criteria stipulated in the Master Direction. Additional provisions are made 
against specific non-performing assets over and above what is stated above, if in the opinion of management, 
increased provisions are necessary. General provision on restructured loans is made as per RBI guidelines.

 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.

 The  total  proportion  of  loans  for  which  subsidiaries  have  applied  accounting  policies  different  from  the  Bank  as 
mentioned above, is approximately 5.95% of the total loans at March 31, 2023.

14.  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,  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 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 based on the method prescribed in the guidelines. 
As  per  the  RBI  guidelines  issued  on  September  24,  2021,  gain  realised  at  the  time  of  securitisation  of  loans  is 
accounted through profit and loss account on completion of transaction. The Bank accounts for any loss arising from 
securitisation immediately at the time of sale.

 The unrealised gains, associated with expected future margin income is recognised in profit and loss account on 
receipt of cash, after absorbing losses, if any.

 Net income arising from sale of loan assets through direct assignment with recourse obligation is amortised over 
the life of underlying assets sold and net income from sale of loan assets through direct assignment, without any 
recourse obligation, is recognised at the time of sale. Net loss arising on account of direct assignment of loan assets 
is recognised at the time of sale. As per the RBI guidelines issued on September 24, 2021, any loss or realised gain 
from sale of loan assets through direct assignment is accounted through profit and loss account on completion of 
transaction.

 The acquired loans is carried at acquisition cost. In case premium is paid on a loan acquired, premium is amortised 
over the loan tenure.

 In accordance with RBI guidelines, in case of non-performing loans sold to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs), 
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”.

15.  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, assets 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.

16.  Foreign exchange and derivative contracts

 The forward exchange contracts that are not intended for trading and are entered into to establish the amount of 
reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction are effectively valued at closing spot 
rate. The premium or discount arising on inception of such forward exchange contracts is amortised over the life 
of the contract as interest income/expense. 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.

 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. The Group identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the transaction itself. 
Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of the inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. Based on 
RBI circular issued on June 26, 2019, the accounting of hedge relationships established after June 26, 2019 is in 

286

Annual Report 2022-23 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ICICI BANK LIMITEDSCHEDULESforming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts issued by ICAI. The swaps under hedge 
relationships established prior to that date are accounted for on an accrual basis and are not marked to market 
unless their underlying transaction is marked-to-market. Gains or losses arising from hedge ineffectiveness, if any, 
are recognised in the profit and loss account 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.

 The 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.

17.  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. 

 For assets other than premises, the Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that 
an asset may be impaired. Impairment loss, if any, is provided in the profit and loss account to the extent the carrying 
amount of assets exceeds their estimated recoverable amount.

18.  Lease transactions

 Lease payments including cost escalations 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 lease. 
Minimum lease payments under finance lease are apportioned between the finance costs and outstanding liability.

19.  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 for 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.

20.  Bullion transaction

 The Bank deals in bullion business on a consignment basis. The bullion is priced to the customers based on the price 
quoted by the supplier. The difference between price recovered from customers and cost of bullion is accounted for 
as commission at the time of sales to the customers. The Bank also deals in bullion on a borrowing and lending basis 
and the interest expense/income is accounted on accrual basis.

21.  Share issue expenses

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

(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.

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 10.0% 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. 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 vested at the end of four years from the date of grant. Certain 
options granted in May 2018, vested to the extent of 50% on May 2021 and balance 50% 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.

 The weighted average fair value, based on Black-Scholes model, of options granted during the year ended March 31, 
2023 was ` 291.15 (year ended March 31, 2022: ` 227.75).

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

Particulars

Risk-free interest rate

Expected term

34.79% to 38.98% 35.38% to 39.41%

0.27% to 0.72%

0.18% to 0.30%

 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.

 The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the summary of the status of the Bank’s stock option plan.

 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 the year, the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) initiated an inquiry in to goods and service tax 
(GST) credit availed on certain expenses incurred by the ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Ltd. (the Company). 
During the course of the inquiry, the Company has deposited an amount, without acceptance of liability on account 
of denial of credit, with GST authorities. Subsequently, the Company has received an intimation of tax from DGGI. 
However, the Company is yet to receive a show cause notice from DGGI providing specific details/reasons for the 
intimation. Hence, the Company is currently unable to assess the likelihood of the outcome in the matter as well as 
its financial effect.

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

  All liabilities of the Bank 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.

ABOUT THIS REPORT

SAFE HARBOUR

This is ICICI Bank’s Annual Report for the year ended 
March 31, 2023. It has been prepared in accordance 
with  Indian  regulatory  reporting  requirements  as 
well as the principles of the International Integrated 
Reporting  Framework  as  developed  by 
the 
International  Integrated  Reporting  Council  (IIRC). 
Through  this  report,  the  Bank  aims  to  provide  its 
stakeholders a comprehensive view of its operations, 
performance, 
financial  and  non-financial 
resources  and  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, Human, 
Intellectual,  Manufactured,  Social  and  Relationship, 
and Natural. 

its 

REPORTING BOUNDARY

The  non-financial 
Integrated 
information 
Report largely covers data on the India operations of 
ICICI Bank Limited and ICICI Foundation for Inclusive 
Growth. 

in  the 

REPORTING PERIOD

The  Annual  Report  provides  material  information 
relating  to  the  Bank’s  strategy  and  business  model, 
operating  context,  performance  and  statutory 
disclosures covering the financial year April 1, 2022 to  
March 31, 2023.

Certain statements in this Annual Report relating to 
a future period of time (including inter alia concerning 
our  future  business  plans  or  growth  prospects)  are 
forward-looking  statements  intended  to  qualify  for 
the  ‘safe  harbour’  under  applicable  securities  laws 
including the US Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act  of  1995.  Such  forward-looking  statements 
involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could 
cause actual results to differ materially from those in 
such  forward-looking  statements.  These  risks  and 
uncertainties include, but are not limited to statutory 
and regulatory changes, international economic and 
business conditions; political or economic instability in 
the jurisdictions where we have operations, increase 
in  non-performing  loans,  unanticipated  changes  in 
interest  rates,  foreign  exchange  rates,  equity  prices 
or  other  rates  or  prices,  our  growth  and  expansion 
in  business,  the  adequacy  of  our  allowance  for 
credit  losses,  the  actual  growth  in  demand  for 
banking  products  and  services,  investment  income, 
cash  flow  projections,  our  exposure  to  market  risks, 
changes  in  India’s  sovereign  rating,  and  the  impact 
of  the  Covid-19  pandemic  which  could  result  in 
fewer  business  opportunities,  lower  revenues,  and 
an  increase  in  the  levels  of  non-performing  assets 
and provisions, depending among other factors upon 
the  period  of  time  for  which  the  pandemic  extends, 
the  remedial  measures  adopted  by  governments 
and  central  banks,  and  the  time  taken  for  economic 
activity to resume at normal levels after the pandemic, 
as well as other risks detailed in the reports filed by 
us  with  the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission.  Any 
statements 
contained  herein  are  based  on  assumptions  that 
we  believe  to  be  reasonable  as  of  the  date  of  this 
release.  ICICI  Bank  undertakes  no  obligation  to 
update forward-looking statements to reflect events 
or  circumstances  after  the  date  thereof.  Additional 
risks  that  could  affect  our  future  operating  results 
are more fully described in our filings with the United 
States  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  These 
filings are available at www.sec.gov.
