Qualitative Assessment of LCR data and Result :
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) has been introduced with the objective to ensure that Bank maintains an adequate level of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLAs) that can be converted into cash to meet its stressed outflows for next 30 calendar day time horizon. RBI mandates Banks to maintain minimum LCR of 100% at Bank level.
Accordingly; Bank is disclosing the LCR at Bank level. The Bank is having two overseas branches at Hong Kong and Singapore for which there is no separate LCR requirement.
High Quality liquid Assets (HQLA): Our HQLA comprises of
following
1. Â Â Â Cash in hand including Cash Reserve in excess of CRR
2. Â Â Â Govt. Securities in Excess of Mandatory SLR
3.    Marginal standing Facility up to 2% of Net Demand and Time Liabilities in the form of SLR securities.

Level 1 assets are more stable form of asset with no or lower haircut for meeting any cash outflow. Facility to avail Liquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio (FALLCR) constitutes the highest portion to HQLA i.e. around 74.30% approx. of the total average HQLA as on
31.03.2025.
The percentage of weighted excess SLR to total HQLA has increased from 13.37% as on 31.12.2024 to 15.46% as on 31.03.2025 as Borrowing as a percentage of unweighted total cash outflows decreased from 2.82% as on 31.12.2024 to 1.54% as on 31.03.2025.
Level 2 assets which are lower in quality as compared to Level 1 assets constitute 0.20% of the total stock of HQLA against maximum permissible level of 40%.

Qualitative Disclosure:Background:
Net Stability Funding Ratio (NSFR) guidelines ensure reduction in funding risk over longer duration time horizon by requiring bank to fund their assets with sufficiently stable resources of funding in order to mitigate the risk of funding stress. The NSFR is defined as the amount of available stable funding relative to the amount required stable funding. RBI has issued the regulations on the implementation of Net stability funding Ratio in May 2018 with minimum requirement of equal to at least 100%. The implementation is effective from 01st October 2021.
The objective of NSFR is to ensure that Bank maintains a stable funding profile in relation to the assets requiring stable funding. A sustainable funding structure is intended to reduce the probability of erosion of bank's liquidity position due to disruptions in bank's regular sources of funding that would increase the risk of its failure and potentially lead to broader systemic stress.
The NSFR is defined as the amount of Available Stable Funding (ASF) relative to the amount of Required Stable Funding (RSF).
Computation of NSFR:
The NSFR is computed as follows:
Available Stable FundingNSFR = ...................................... >= 100%
Required Stable Funding
The above ratio should be equal to at least 100% on an ongoing basis. The NSFR is binding on Banks w.e.f. 01.10.2021 and quarterly filing in RBI portal is mandatory. Accordingly, we have uploaded NSFR in RBI portal for 31.03.2025
"Available Stable Funding" (ASF) is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon considered by the NSFR, which extends to one year.
a)    Total regulatory capital (excluding Tier 2 instruments with residual maturity of less than one year).
b)    Other capital instruments and liabilities with effective residual maturity of one year or more.
c)    Stable & less stable non-maturity (demand) deposits and term deposits with residual maturity of less than one year provided by retail and small business customers (it is considered more stable than deposits from large corporates/ institution)
d)    Funding with residual maturity of less than one year from sovereigns, PSEs, and multilateral and national development banks.
"Required Stable Funding" (RSF) is a function of the liquidity
characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets
held by that institution as well as those of its Off-Balance Sheet
(OBS) exposures.
a)    Unencumbered Level 1 assets, excluding coins, banknotes, CRR and SLR Securities
b) Â Â Â Unencumbered Level 2A & Level 2B assets

level which report to the Executive Directors and Chairman & Managing
Director and ultimately to the Board. Risk Management Department is
informed of the transactions as and when they take place.

for hedging and trading purposes. Derivative as a product is also
offered to the customer as per RBI norms. Such transactions are
undertaken as per policies of the bank formulated based on RBI
guidelines.
b)The risk is measured in the interest rate derivative transactions
depending on the movement of benchmark interest rates for the remaining
life of the interest rate swap contracts. All interest rate derivative
transactions are included for the purpose of risk measurement. The risk
is evaluated and reports are placed to the CMD/ED daily and Board
periodically. Risk is monitored based on the mark to market position of
the interest rate derivative transactions.

processes for monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges/
mitigants:
IRS is undertaken on the actual interest bearing underlying assets or
liabilities. The notional principal amount and maturity of the hedge

amount of IRS multiplied by the relevant conversion factor and the
respective risk weight of the counter party has been taken into account
for determining the capital requirements.

income on the above IRS will be Rs. 10.51 Crore (Rs. 97.68 Crore), in
