The following disclosures have been made taking into account the requirements of Accounting Standards (ASs) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines in this regards.
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.
2. Business/information ratios
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the business/information ratios.
3. Capital adequacy ratio
The Bank is subject to the Basel III capital adequacy guidelines stipulated by RBI with effect from April 1, 2013. The guidelines provide a transition schedule for Basel III implementation till March 31, 2020. As per the guidelines, the Tier-1 capital is made up of Common Equity Tier-1 (CET1) and Additional Tier-1.
At March 31, 2019, Basel III guidelines require the Bank to maintain a minimum Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of 11.025% with minimum CET1 CRAR of 7.525% and minimum Tier-1 CRAR of 9.025%. The minimum total CRAR, Tier-1 CRAR and CET1 CRAR requirement include capital conservation buffer of 1.875% and additional capital requirement of 0.15% on account of the Bank being designated as Domestic Systemically Important Bank.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, computation of capital adequacy as per Basel III framework.
4. Liquidity coverage ratio
The Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) had introduced the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) in order to ensure that a bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered high quality liquid assets (HQLA) to survive a significant liquidity stress lasting for a period of 30 days. LCR is defined as a ratio of HQLA to the total net cash outflows estimated for the next 30 calendar days. As per the RBI guidelines, the minimum LCR required to be maintained by banks shall be implemented in a phased manner from January 1, 2015 as given below.
The Bank during the three months ended March 31, 2019 maintained average HQLA (after haircut) of Rs. 1,434,622.0 million (March 31, 2018: Rs. 1,051,010.5 million) against the average liquidity requirement of Rs. 1,090,941.2 million (March 31, 2018: Rs. 842,650.4 million) at minimum LCR requirement of 100.0% (March 31, 2018: 90.0%). HQLA primarily includes government securities in excess of minimum statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and to the extent allowed under marginal standing facility (MSF) and facility to avail liquidity for LCR (FALLCR) of Rs. 1,189,674.2 million (March 31, 2018: Rs. 815,035.6 million). With effect from June 15, 2018, RBI permitted banks to reckon an additional 2.0% of their net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) under FALLCR within the mandatory statutory liquidity requirement (SLR), as Level 1 high quality liquid assets (HQLA) for the purpose of computing their LCR. Further, in September 2018, RBI permitted banks to reckon an additional 2.0% of their net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) with effect from October 1, 2018 under FALLCR within the mandatory statutory liquidity requirement (SLR), as Level 1 high quality liquid assets (HQLA) for the purpose of computing their LCR. Hence, the carve-out from SLR under FALLCR will now be 13.0% compared to 9.0% as of March 31, 2018. This takes the total carve out from SLR available to banks at 15.0% of their NDTL including 2.0% of MSF. Additionally, cash balance in excess of cash reserve requirement with RBI and balances with central banks of countries where the Bankâs branches are located amounted to Rs. 178,691.5 million (March 31, 2018: Rs. 160,400.8 million). Further, average level 2 assets primarily consisting of AA- and above rated corporate bonds and commercial papers, amounted to Rs. 47,040.3 million (March 31, 2018: Rs. 50,909.9 million).
At March 31, 2019, top liability products/instruments and their percentage contribution to the total liabilities of the Bank were term deposits 34.11% (March 31, 2018: 30.83%), savings account deposits 23.61% (March 31, 2018: 22.86%), bond borrowings 9.29% (March 31, 2018: 10.68%) and current account deposits 9.98% (March 31, 2018: 10.12%). Top 20 depositors constituted 5.74% (March 31, 2018: 6.20%) of total deposits of the Bank at March 31, 2019. Further, the total borrowings mobilised from significant counterparties (from whom the funds borrowed were more than 1.00% of the Bankâs total liabilities) were 7.04% (March 31, 2018: 8.92%) of the total liabilities of the Bank at March 31, 2019.
The weighted cash outflows are primarily driven by unsecured wholesale funding which includes operational deposits, non-operational deposits and unsecured debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, unsecured wholesale funding contributed 56.18% (March 31, 2018: 59.32%) of the total weighted cash outflows. The non-operational deposits include term deposits with premature withdrawal facility. Retail deposits including deposits from small business customers and other contingent funding obligations contributed 22.98% (March 31, 2018: 21.40%) and 6.14% (March 31, 2018: 5.61%) of the total weighted cash outflows, respectively. The other contingent funding obligations primarily include bank guarantees (BGs) and letters of credit (LCs) issued on behalf of the Bankâs clients.
I n view of the margin rules for non-centrally cleared derivative transactions issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and discussion paper issued by the RBI, certain derivative transactions would be subject to margin reset and consequent collateral exchange would be as governed by Credit Support Annex (CSA). The margin rules are applicable for both the domestic and overseas operations of the Bank. The Bank has entered into CSAs which would require maintenance of collateral due to valuation changes on transactions under the CSA framework. The Bank considers the increased liquidity requirement on account of valuation changes in the transactions settled through Qualified Central Counterparties (QCCP) in India including the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) and other exchange houses as well as for transactions covered under CSAs. The potential outflows on account of such transactions have been considered based on the look-back approach prescribed in the RBI guidelines.
The average LCR of the Bank for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 131.50% (March 31, 2018: 112.25%). During the three months ended March 31, 2019, other than Indian Rupee, USD was the only significant foreign currency which constituted more than 5.00% of the balance sheet size of the Bank. The average LCR of the Bank for USD currency, computed based on daily LCR values, was 117.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018: 112.57% computed based on month-end LCR values).

Under the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply for equity shares. In April 2016, exercise period was modified from 10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later, to 10 years from the date of vesting of options. In June 2017, exercise period was further modified to not exceed 10 years from the date of vesting of options as may be determined by the Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee to be applicable for future grants.

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 behaviour 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 Bankâs publicly traded equity shares. Expected dividends during the estimated expected term of the option are based on recent dividend activity.
The options were exercised regularly throughout the period and weighted average share price as per National Stock Exchange price volume data during the year ended March 31, 2019 was Rs. 326.37 (year ended March 31, 2018: Rs. 296.94).

The Bank is a major participant in the financial derivatives market. The Bank deals in derivatives for balance sheet management, proprietary trading and market making purposes whereby the Bank offers derivative products to its customers, enabling them to hedge their risks.
Dealing in derivatives is carried out by identified groups in the treasury of the Bank based on the purpose of the transaction. Derivative transactions are entered into by the treasury front office. Treasury Control and Service Group (TCSG) conducts an independent check of the transactions entered into by the front office and also undertakes activities such as confirmation, settlement, accounting, risk monitoring and reporting and ensures compliance with various internal and regulatory guidelines.
The market making and the proprietary trading activities in derivatives are governed by the Investment policy and Derivative policy of the Bank, which lays down the position limits, stop loss limits as well as other risk limits. The Risk Management Group (RMG) lays down the methodology for computation and monitoring of risk. The Risk Committee of the Board (RCB) reviews the Bankâs risk management policy in relation to various risks including credit and recovery policy, investment policy, derivative policy, Asset Liability Management (ALM) policy and operational risk management policy. The RCB comprises independent directors and the Managing Director & CEO.
The Bank measures and monitors risk of its derivatives portfolio using such risk metrics as Value at Risk (VaR), stop loss limits and relevant greeks for options. Risk reporting on derivatives forms an integral part of the management information system.
The use of derivatives for hedging purposes is governed by the hedge policy approved by ALCO. Subject to prevailing RBI guidelines, the Bank deals in derivatives for hedging fixed rate, floating rate or foreign currency assets/liabilities. Transactions for hedging and market making purposes are recorded separately. For hedge transactions, the Bank identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the hedge itself. The effectiveness is assessed at the time of inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter. Hedge derivative transactions are accounted for pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting based on guidelines issued by RBI. Derivatives for market making purpose are marked to market and the resulting gain/loss is recorded in the profit and loss account. The premium on option contracts is accounted for as per Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India (FEDAI) guidelines.
Over the counter (OTC) derivative transactions are covered under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements with the respective counter parties. The exposure on account of derivative transactions is computed as per RBI guidelines.

15. Forward rate agreement (FRA)/Interest rate swaps (IRS)/Cross currency swaps (CCS)
The Bank enters into FRA, IRS and CCS contracts for balance sheet management and market making purposes whereby the Bank offers derivative products to its customers to enable them to hedge their interest rate risk and currency risk within the prevalent regulatory guidelines.
A FRA is a financial contract between two parties to exchange interest payments for ânotional principalâ amount on settlement date, for a specified period from start date to maturity date. Accordingly, on the settlement date cash payments based on contract rate and the settlement rate, which is the agreed bench-mark/reference rate prevailing on the settlement date, are made by the parties to one another. The benchmark used in the FRA contracts of the Bank is London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of various currencies.
An IRS is a financial contract between two parties exchanging or swapping a stream of interest payments for a ânotional principalâ amount on multiple occasions during a specified period. The Bank deals in interest rate benchmarks like Mumbai Inter-Bank Offered Rate (MIBOR), Indian Government Securities Benchmark Rate (INBMK), Mumbai Inter-Bank Forward Offer Rate (MIFOR) and LIBOR of various currencies.
A CCS is a financial contract between two parties exchanging interest payments and principal, wherein interest payments and principal in one currency would be exchanged for an equally valued 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.

- Key features and objectives of remuneration policy
The Bank has under the guidance of the Board and the BGRNC, followed compensation practices intended to drive meritocracy within the framework of prudent risk management. This approach has been incorporated in the Compensation Policy, the key elements of which are given below.
o Effective governance of compensation: The BGRNC has oversight over compensation. The Committee defines Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for WTDs and equivalent positions and the organisational performance norms for bonus based on the financial and strategic plan approved by the Board. The KPIs include both quantitative and qualitative aspects. The BGRNC assesses organisational performance as well as the individual performance for WTDs and equivalent positions. Based on its assessment, it makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for WTDs, senior management and equivalent positions and bonus for employees, including senior management and key management personnel.
o Alignment of compensation philosophy with prudent risk taking: The Bank seeks to achieve a prudent mix of fixed and variable pay, with a higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and no guaranteed bonuses. Compensation is sought to be aligned to both financial and non-financial indicators of performance including aspects like risk management and customer service. In addition, the Bank has an employee stock option scheme aimed at aligning compensation to long term performance through stock option grants that vest over a period of time. Compensation of staff in financial and risk control functions is independent of the business areas they oversee and depends on their performance assessment.

- Discussion of how the Bank ensures that risk and compliance employees are remunerated independently of the businesses they oversee
The compensation of staff engaged in control functions like Risk and Compliance depends on their performance, which is based on achievement of the key results of their respective functions. Their goal sheets do not include any business targets.
c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes.
- Overview of the key risks that the Bank takes into account when implementing remuneration measures
The Board approves the risk framework for the Bank and the business activities of the Bank are undertaken within this framework to achieve the financial plan. The risk framework includes the Bankâs risk appetite, limits framework and policies and procedures governing various types of risk. KPIs of WTDs & equivalent positions, as well as employees, incorporate relevant risk management related aspects. For example, in addition to performance targets in areas such as risk calibrated core operating profit (profit before provisions and tax, excluding treasury income), performance indicators include aspects such as the desired funding profile and asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational and individual performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board.
- Overview of the nature and type of key measures used to take account of these risks, including risk difficult to measure
The annual performance targets and performance evaluation incorporate both qualitative and quantitative aspects including asset quality, provisioning, increase in stable funding sources, refinement/improvement of the risk management framework, effective management of stakeholder relationships and mentoring key members of the top and senior management.
- Discussion of the ways in which these measures affect remuneration
Every year, the financial plan/targets are formulated in conjunction with a risk framework with limit structures for various areas of risk/lines of business, within which the Bank operates to achieve the financial plan. To ensure effective alignment of compensation with prudent risk taking, the BGRNC takes into account adherence to the risk framework in conjunction with which the financial plan/targets have been formulated. KPIs of WTDs and equivalent positions, as well as employees, incorporate relevant risk management related aspects. For example, in addition to performance targets in areas such as risk calibrated core operating profit, performance indicators include aspects such as the desired funding profile and asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational and individual performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board.
- Discussion of how the nature and type of these measures have changed over the past year and reasons for the changes, as well as the impact of changes on remuneration.
The nature and type of these measures have not changed over the past year and hence, there is no impact on remuneration.
d) Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period with levels of remuneration
- Overview of main performance metrics for Bank, top level business lines and individuals
The main performance metrics include risk calibrated core operating profit (profit before provisions and tax, excluding treasury income), asset quality metrics (such as additions to non-performing loans and recoveries & upgrades), compliance with regulatory norms, refinement of risk management processes and customer service. The specific metrics and weightages for various metrics vary with the role and level of the individual.
- Discussion of how amounts of individual remuneration are linked to the Bank-wide and individual performance
The BGRNC takes into consideration above mentioned aspects while assessing performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board regarding the performance assessment of WTDs and equivalent positions. The performance assessment of individual employees is undertaken based on achievements compared to their goal sheets, which incorporate various aspects/metrics described earlier.
- Discussion of the measures the Bank will in general implement to adjust remuneration in the event that performance metrics are weak, including the Bankâs criteria for determining âweakâ performance metrics
The Bankâs Compensation Policy outlines the measures the Bank will implement in the event of a reasonable evidence of deterioration in financial performance. Should such an event occur in the manner outlined in the policy, the BGRNC may decide to apply malus on none, part or all of the unvested deferred variable compensation.
e) Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to adjust remuneration to take account of the longer term performance
- Discussion of the Bankâs policy on deferral and vesting of variable remuneration and, if the fraction of variable remuneration that is deferred differs across employees or groups of employees, a description of the factors that determine the fraction and their relative importance
The quantum of bonus for an employee does not exceed a certain percentage (as stipulated in the compensation policy) of the total fixed pay in a year. Within this percentage, if the quantum of bonus exceeds a predefined threshold percentage of the total fixed pay, a part of the bonus is deferred and paid over a period. These thresholds for deferrals are same across employees.
- Discussion of the Bankâs policy and criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration before vesting and (if permitted by national law) after vesting through claw back arrangements
The deferred portion of variable pay is subject to malus, under which the Bank would prevent vesting of all or part of the variable pay in the event of an enquiry determining gross negligence, breach of integrity or in the event of a reasonable evidence of deterioration in financial performance. In such cases, variable pay already paid out may also be subjected to clawback arrangements, as applicable.
f) Description of the different forms of variable remuneration that the Bank utilises and the rationale for using these different forms
- Overview of the forms of variable remuneration offered. A discussion of the use of different forms of variable remuneration and, if the mix of different forms of variable remuneration differs across employees or group of employees, a description of the factors that determine the mix and their relative importance
The Bank pays performance linked retention pay (PLRP) to its front-line staff and junior management and performance bonus to its middle and senior management. PLRP aims to reward front line and junior managers, mainly on the basis of skill maturity attained through experience and continuity in role which is a key differentiator for customer service. The Bank also pays variable pay to sales officers and relationship managers in wealth management roles while ensuring that such pay-outs are in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
The Bank ensures higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and lower variable pay for front-line staff and junior management levels.
Payment of compensation in the form of profit related commission to the non-executive directors
The Board at its meeting held on September 16, 2015 and the shareholders at their meeting held on July 11, 2016 approved the payment of profit related commission of Rs. 1.0 million per annum to be paid to each non-executive Director of the Bank (excluding government nominee and part-time Chairman) subject to the availability of net profits at the end of each financial year.

The Bank during the three months ended March 31, 2018 maintained average HQLA (after haircut) of Rs, 1,051,010.5 million (March 31, 2017: Rs, 971,361.1 million) against the average liquidity requirement of Rs, 842,650.4 million (March 31, 2017: Rs, 795,626.5 million) at minimum LCR requirement of 90.0% (March 31, 2017: 80.0%). HQLA primarily includes government securities in excess of minimum statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and to the extent allowed under marginal standing facility (MSF) and facility to avail liquidity for LCR (FALLCR) of Rs, 815,035.6 million (March 31, 2017: Rs, 806,903.7 million). Additionally, cash balance in excess of cash reserve requirement with RBI and balances with central banks of countries where the Bank''s branches are located amounted to Rs, 160,400.8 million (March 31, 2017: Rs, 100,448.7 million). Further, average level 2 assets primarily consisting of AA- and above rated corporate bonds and commercial papers, amounted to Rs, 50,909.9 million (March 31, 2017: Rs, 36,348.1 million).
At March 31, 2018, top liability products/instruments and their percentage contribution to the total liabilities of the Bank were term deposits 30.83% (March 31, 2017: 31.51%), savings account deposits 22.86% (March 31, 2017: 22.27%), bond borrowings 10.68% (March 31, 2017: 12.33%) and current account deposits 10.12% (March 31, 2017: 9.72%). Top 20 depositors constituted 6.20% (March 31, 2017: 7.04%) of total deposits of the Bank at March 31, 2018. Further, the total borrowings mobilised from significant counterparties (from whom the funds borrowed were more than 1.00% of the BankRs,s total liabilities) were 8.92% (March 31, 2017: 10.26%) of the total liabilities of the Bank at March 31, 2018.
The weighted cash outflows are primarily driven by unsecured wholesale funding which includes operational deposits, non-operational deposits and unsecured debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, unsecured wholesale funding contributed 59.32% (March 31, 2017: 53.60%) of the total weighted cash outflows. The non-operational deposits include term deposits with premature withdrawal facility. Retail deposits including deposits from small business customers and other contingent funding obligations contributed 21.40% (March 31, 2017: 20.65%) and 5.61% (March 31, 2017: 5.46%) of the total weighted cash outflows, respectively.

In view of the margin rules for non-centrally cleared derivative transactions issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and RBI, currently in a draft stage, certain derivative transactions would be subject to margin reset and consequent collateral exchange would be as governed by Credit Support Annex (CSA). The margin rules are applicable for both the domestic and overseas operations of the Bank. The Bank has entered into CSAs which would require maintenance of collateral due to valuation changes on transactions under the CSA framework. The Bank considers the increased liquidity requirement on account of valuation changes in the transactions settled through Qualified Central Counterparties (QCCP) in India including the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) and other exchange houses as well as for transactions covered under CSAs. The potential outflows on account of such transactions have been considered based on the look-back approach prescribed in the RBI guidelines.
The average LCR of the Bank for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 112.25% (March 31, 2017: 97.67%). During the three months ended March 31, 2018, other than Indian Rupee, USD was the only significant foreign currency which constituted more than 5.00% of the balance sheet size of the Bank. The average LCR of the Bank for USD currency, computed based on month-end LCR values, was 112.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: 44.51%).

Top 20 depositors constituted 7.04% (March 31, 2016: 7.35%) of total deposits of the Bank at March 31, 2017. 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 10.26% (March 31, 2016: 11.81%) of the total liabilities of the Bank at March 31, 2017.

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

10. Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)
In terms of the ESOS, as amended, the maximum number of options granted to any eligible employee in a financial year shall not exceed 0.05% of the issued equity shares of the Bank at the time of grant of the options and aggregate of all such options granted to the eligible employees shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued equity shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options in line with SEBI Regulations. Under the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply for equity shares. In April 2016, exercise period was modified from 10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later, to 10 years from the date of vesting of options. 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. Hence, there was no compensation cost based on intrinsic value of options.
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 will vest to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2017 and the balance on April 30, 2018 and granted in September 2015 which will vest to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2018 and 50% on April 30, 2019. However, for the options granted in September 2015, if the participant''s employment terminates due to retirement (including pursuant to any early/voluntary retirement scheme), the whole of the unvested options would lapse.
Options granted prior to March, 2014, vest in a graded manner over a four-year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of the grants vesting in each year, commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant. Options granted in April, 2009 vest in a graded manner over a five-year period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of grant. Options granted in September, 2011 vest in a graded manner over a five-years period with 15%, 20%, 20% and 45% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of the grant.
In February 2011, the Bank granted 15,175,000 options to eligible employees and whole-time Directors of the Bank and certain of its subsidiaries at an exercise price of Rs,193.40. This exercise price was the average closing price on the stock exchange during the six months ended October 28, 2010. Of these options granted, 50% vested on April 30, 2014 and the balance 50% vested on April 30, 2015. Based on intrinsic value of options, no compensation cost was recognized during the year ended March 31, 2017 (March 31, 2016: Rs,0.8 million).
If the Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2017 would have been higher by Rs,5,107.5 million (March 31, 2016: Rs,3,726.5 million) including additional cost of Rs,1,393.1 million (March 31, 2016: Nil) due to change in exercise period and preformed profit after tax would have been Rs,92,903.4 million (March 31, 2016: Rs,93,536.4 million). Additional cost of Rs,1,393.1 million at the date of modification reflects the difference between fair value of option calculated as per revised exercise period and fair value of option calculated as per original exercise period. On a preformed basis, the Bank''s basic and diluted earnings per share would have been Rs,15.97 and Rs,15.90 respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2017 are given below.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2017 is Rs,84.39 (March 31, 2016: Rs,100.50).
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 term of option 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 options were exercised regularly throughout the period and weighted average share price as per National Stock Exchange price volume data during the year ended March 31, 2017 was Rs,257.82 (March 31, 2016: Rs,273.37).

Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
requirements prescribed under the Third Schedule of the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949. The accounting and reporting policies of ICICI
Bank used in the preparation of these financial statements conform to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP), the
guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time,
Companies Act, 2013 and the Accounting Standards (AS) issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and notified under
the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 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 income on
non-performing assets (NPAs) where it is recognised upon realisation.
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make
estimates and assumptions that are considered in the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the
date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses
during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates
used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and
reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.
The following additional disclosures have been made taking into account
the requirements of Accounting Standards (ASs) and Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) guidelines in this regard.
1. 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 are
computed by dividing net profit after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The diluted
earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average number
of equity shares and weighted average number of dilutive potential
equity shares outstanding during the year.
The shareholders of the Bank have approved the sub-division of one
equity share of Rs.10 into five equity shares having a face value of Rs. 2
each through postal ballot on November 20, 2014. The record date for
the sub-division was December 5, 2014. All shares and per share
information in the financial results reflect the effect of sub-division
for each of the periods presented.
2. Business/information ratios
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
business/information ratios.
1. For the purpose of computing the ratio, working funds represent the
monthly average of total assets computed for reporting dates of Form X
submitted to RBI under Section 27 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
2. Operating profit is profit for the year before provisions and
contingencies.
3. For the purpose of computing the ratio, assets represent monthly
average of total assets computed for reporting dates of Form X
submitted to RBI under Section 27 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
4. Computed based on average number of employees which include sales
executives, employees on fixed term contracts and interns.
5. The average deposits and the average advances represent the simple

the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
3. Capital adequacy ratio
The Bank is subject to the Basel III capital adequacy guidelines
stipulated by RBI with effect from April 1, 2013. The guidelines
provide a transition schedule for Basel III implementation till March
31, 2019. As per the guidelines, the Tier-1 capital is made up of
Common Equity Tier-1 (CET1) and Additional Tier-1.
At March 31, 2015, Basel III guidelines require the Bank to maintain a
minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CRAR) of 9.0% with
minimum CET1 CRAR of 5.5% and minimum Tier-1 CRAR of 7.0%.
The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, computation
of capital adequacy as per Basel III framework.
4. Liquidity coverage ratio
The Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) had proposed 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 shall be implemented in
the phased manner from January 1,2015 as given below.
The Bank has been computing its LCR on a monthly basis since January
2015 as per the RBI guidelines. The following table sets forth the
average of unweighted and weighted value of the LCR of the Bank, based
on month end values, for the three months ended March 31,2015.
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 overseas branches is maintained taking into consideration
both host country as well as the RBI regulations.
The Bank during the three months ended March 31, 2015 maintained
average HQLA (after haircut) of Rs. 569,153.4 million against the average
liquidity requirement of Rs. 336,609.6 million at minimum LCR requirement

branches are located amounting to Rs. 119,941.0 million, government
securities in excess of minimum statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and to

to avail liquidity for LCR (FALLCR) of Rs. 405,228.9 million. Further,
average level 2 assets primarily consisting of AA- and above rated
corporate bonds and commercial papers were Rs. 29,028.0 million.
The Bank has been focusing on increasing its core liabilities,
including current and savings account (CASA) deposits, retail term
deposits and long-term bond borrowings in order to reduce its
dependence on wholesale short-term liabilities and elongate the
maturity profile of liabilities. At March 31,2015, top liability
products/instruments and their percentage contribution to the total
liabilities of the Bank were saving account deposits 17.78%, term
deposits 30.52%, bond borrowings 13.83% and current account deposits
7.66%. It may be noted that top 20 depositors constituted 6.43% of
total deposits of the Bank at March 31,2015. 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 13.66% of the total liabilities of the Bank at March 31,2015.
The weighted cash outflows are primarily driven by unsecured wholesale
funding which includes operational deposits, non-operational deposits
and unsecured debt. The unsecured wholesale funding contributed 50.19%
of the total weighted cash outflows. The non-operational deposits
includes term deposits with premature withdrawal facility. Retail
deposits including deposits from small business customers and other
contingent funding obligations contributed 24.58% and 12.37% of the
total weighted cash outflows respectively. The other contingent funding
obligations primarily include bank guarantees (BGs) and letters of
credit (LCs) issued on behalf of the Bank''s clients.
Liquidity requirement of the Bank on account of market valuation
changes for derivative transactions was limited as the Bank has not
signed Credit Support Annex (CSA) with any of its clients/interbank
counterparties. However, the Bank may be required to post additional
collateral due to market valuation changes on derivative transactions
settled through Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) which is a
Qualified Central Counterparty (QCCP) in India. The outflow on account
of market valuation change for derivative transactions with CCIL has
been considered based on the prescribed look back approach.
Based on the above, monthly average LCR of the Bank for the three
months ended March 31, 2015 was 101.45%. It may be noted that during
the three months ended on March 31, 2015, other than Indian Rupee, USD
was the only significant foreign currency which constituted more than
5.00% of the balance sheet size of the Bank. Average LCR of the Bank
for USD currency was 100.83% for the three months ended March 31,2015.
5. Information about business and geographical segments Business
Segments

- Foreign operations comprise branches outside India and offshore
banking unit in India. The following table sets forth, for the periods
indicated, geographical segment revenues.
7. Preference shares
Certain government securities amounting to Rs. 3,088.6 million at March
31, 2015 (March 31, 2014: Rs. 2,970.9 million) have been earmarked
against redemption of preference shares issued by the Bank, which fall
due for redemption on April 20, 2018, as per the original terms of the
issue.
8. Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)
In terms of the ESOS, as amended, the maximum number of options granted
to any eligible employee in a financial year shall not exceed 0.05% of
the issued equity shares of the Bank at the time of grant of the
options and aggregate of all such options granted to the eligible
employees shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued
equity shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options. Under
the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply for
equity shares. Options vest in a graded manner over a four-year period,
with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of the grants vesting in each year,
commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant. Options
granted in April, 2009 vest in a graded manner over a five-year period
with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of grant vesting each year, commencing from
the end of 24 months from the date of grant. Options granted in
September, 2011 vest in a graded manner over a five-years period with
15%, 20%, 20% and 45% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the
end of 24 months from the date of the grant. Options granted after
April, 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. Out of the total options granted,
for a grant of 50,000, 50% of the options granted would vest on April
30, 2017 and the balance are scheduled to vest on April 30, 2018. The
options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or five
years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. The exercise price
of Bank''s options was the last closing price on the stock exchange,
which recorded highest trading volume preceding the date of grant of
options. Hence, there was no compensation cost based on intrinsic value
of options.
In February 2011, the Bank granted 15,175,000 options to eligible
employees and whole-time Directors of the Bank and certain of its
subsidiaries at an exercise price of Rs. 193.40. Of these options
granted, 50% vested on April 30, 2014 and the balance 50% would vest on
April 30, 2015. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the
date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is
later. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of Rs. 16.4
million was recognised during the year ended March 31,2015 (March
31,2014: Rs. 20.9 million).
If the Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree
model, compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2015 would have
been higher by Rs. 2,819.5 million and proforma profit after tax would
have been Rs. 108.93 billion. On a proforma basis, the Bank''s basic and
diluted earnings per share would have been Rs. 18.83 and Rs. 18.65
respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
options granted during the year ended March 31,2015 are given below.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year
ended March 31, 2015 is Rs. 90.09 (March 31, 2014: Rs. 118.59).

15. Derivatives
The Bank is a major participant in the financial derivatives market.
The Bank deals in derivatives for balance sheet management, proprietary
trading and market making purposes whereby the Bank offers derivative
products to its customers, enabling them to hedge their risks.
Dealing in derivatives is carried out by identified groups in the
treasury of the Bank based on the purpose of the transaction.
Derivative transactions are entered into by the treasury front office.
Treasury Control and Service Group (TCSG) conducts an independent check
of the transactions entered into by the front office and also
undertakes activities such as confirmation, settlement, accounting,
risk monitoring and reporting and ensures compliance with various
internal and regulatory guidelines.
The market making and the proprietary trading activities in derivatives
are governed by the Investment policy and Derivative policy of the
Bank, which lays down the position limits, stop loss limits as well as
other risk limits. The Risk Management Group (RMG) lays down the
methodology for computation and monitoring of risk. The Risk Committee
of the Board (RCB) reviews the Bank''s risk management policy in
relation to various risks including credit and recovery policy,
investment policy, derivative policy, Asset Liability Management (ALM)
policy and operational risk management policy. The RCB comprises
independent directors and the Managing Director and CEO.
The Bank measures and monitors risk of its derivatives portfolio using
such risk metrics as Value at Risk (VAR), stop loss limits and relevant
greeks for options. Risk reporting on derivatives forms an integral
part of the management information system.
The use of derivatives for hedging purposes is governed by the hedge
policy approved by Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO). Subject
to prevailing RBI guidelines, the Bank deals in derivatives for hedging
fixed rate, floating rate or foreign currency assets/liabilities.
Transactions for hedging and market making purposes are recorded
separately. For hedge transactions, the Bank identifies the hedged
item (asset or liability) at the inception of the hedge itself. The
effectiveness is assessed at the time of inception of the hedge and
periodically thereafter.
Hedge derivative transactions are accounted for pursuant to the
principles of hedge accounting based on guidelines issued by RBI.
Derivatives for market making purpose are marked to market and the
resulting gain/loss is recorded in the profit and loss account. The
premium on option contracts is accounted for as per Foreign Exchange
Dealers Association of India (FEDAI) guidelines.
Over the counter (OTC) derivative transactions are covered under
International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master
agreements with the respective counter parties. The exposure on account
of derivative transactions is computed as per RBI guidelines.
The net overnight open position at March 31,2015 was Rs. 1,193.1 million
(March 31,2014: Rs. 511.7 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 31,2015 (March 31,2014: Nil).
The Bank offers deposits to customers of its offshore branches with
structured returns linked to interest, forex, credit or equity
benchmarks. The Bank covers these exposures in the inter-bank market.

counter-parties and Fixed Income Money Market and Derivative
Association (FIMMDA). Rupee denominated credit derivatives are marked
to market by the Bank based on FIMMDA published CDS curve.
17. Forward rate agreement (FRA)/Interest rate swaps (IRS)
The Bank enters into FRA and IRS contracts for balance sheet management
and market making purposes whereby the Bank offers derivative products
to its customers to enable them to hedge their interest rate risk
within the prevalent regulatory guidelines.
A FRA is a financial contract between two parties to exchange interest
payments for ''notional principal'' amount on settlement date, for a
specified period from start date to maturity date. Accordingly, on the
settlement date, cash payments based on contract rate and the
settlement rate, which is the agreed bench-mark/reference rate
prevailing on the settlement date, are made by the parties to one
another. The benchmark used in the FRA contracts of the Bank is London
Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of various currencies.
An IRS is a financial contract between two parties exchanging or
swapping a stream of interest payments for a ''notional principal''
amount on multiple occasions during a specified period. The Bank deals
in interest rate benchmarks like Mumbai Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(MIBOR), Indian government securities Benchmark rate (INBMK), Mumbai
Inter Bank Forward Offer Rate (MIFOR) and LIBOR of various currencies.
These contracts are subject to the risks of changes in market interest
rates as well as the settlement risk with the counterparties.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the details
of the forward rate agreements/interest rate swaps.
19. Provision on standard assets
Standard assets provision amounting to Rs. 3,847.9 million was made
during the year ended March 31, 2015 (March 31,2014: Rs. 2,487.7 million)

borrowers through its credit appraisal and internal ratings process.
The Bank also undertakes reviews of such exposures through thematic
reviews by Risk Committee based on market developments evaluating the
impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Bank''s portfolio, portfolio
specific reviews by the RMG and scenario-based stress testing approach
as detailed in the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process
(ICAAP). In addition, a periodic review of the forex exposures of the
borrowers'' having significant external commercial borrowings is
conducted by RMG.
RBI, through its circular dated January 15, 2014 had advised banks to
create incremental provision on standard loans and advances to entities
with UFCE. Incremental provision of Rs. 1,750.0 million on standard loans

25. Provision on Funded Interest Term Loan
In 2008, RBI issued guidelines on debt restructuring, which also
covered the treatment of funded interest in cases of debt
restructuring, that is, instances where interest for a certain period
is funded by a Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) which is then repaid
based on a contracted maturity schedule. In line with these guidelines,
the Bank has been providing fully for any interest income which is
funded through a FITL for cases restructured subsequent to the issuance
of the guideline. However, RBI has now required similar treatment of
outstanding FITL pertaining to cases restructured prior to the 2008
guidelines which have not yet been repaid. In view of the above, and
since this item relates to prior years, the Bank has with the approval
of the RBI debited its reserves by Rs. 9,291.6 million to fully provide
outstanding FITLs pertaining to restructurings prior to the issuance of
the guideline in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as against over three
quarters permitted by RBI. These FITLs relate to pre-2008
restructurings where the borrowers have since been upgraded and this
impact would get reversed as FITLs are repaid as per their contractual
maturities.
26. Floating provision

funded assets for Singapore was 1.31% (March 31, 2014: 1.45%) and USA
was 2.53% (March 31, 2014: 0.83%). As the net funded exposure to
Singapore and USA exceeds 1.0% of total funded assets, the Bank held a
provision of Rs. 345.0 million on country exposure at March 31,2015
(March 31,2014: Rs. 135.0 million) based on RBI guidelines.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the details
of exposure (net) and provision held by the bank.

34. Description of contingent liabilities
The following table describes the nature of contingent liabilities of
the Bank.
1. Claims against the Bank, not acknowledged as debts
This item represents demands made in certain tax and legal matters
against the Bank in the normal course of business 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.
2. Liability for partly paid investments
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.
3. Liability on account of outstanding forward
exchange contracts
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.
4. Guarantees given on behalf of constituents, acceptances,
endorsements and other obligations
This item represents the guarantees and documentary credits issued by
the Bank in favour of third parties on behalf of its customers, as part
of its trade finance banking activities with a view to augment the
customers'' credit standing. Through these instruments, the Bank
undertakes to make payments for its customers'' obligations, either
directly or in case the customer fails to fulfill their financial or
performance obligations.
5. Currency swaps, interest rate swaps, currency options and interest
rate futures
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.
6. Other items for which the Bank is contingently liable
Other items for which the Bank is contingently liable primarily include
the amount of Government securities bought/sold and remaining to be
settled on the date of financial statements. This also includes the
value of sell down options and other facilities pertaining to
securitisation, the notional principal amounts of credit derivatives,
amount applied in public offers under Application Supported by Blocked
Amounts (ASBA), bill re-discounting, amount transferred to the RBI
under the Depositor Education and Awareness Fund (DEAF), commitment
towards contribution to venture fund and the amount that the Bank is
obligated to pay under capital contracts. Capital contracts are job
orders of a capital nature which have
hp.p.n pnmmittp.H
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 Accounting Standard -
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 but 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.
39. Details of amount transferred to The Depositor Education and
Awareness Fund (the Fund) of RBI
The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, the movement
in amount transferred to the Fund.

41,526.7 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.
41. Deferred tax
At March 31, 2015, the Bank has recorded net deferred tax asset of Rs.
14,480.0 million (March 31, 2014: Rs. 7,468.6 million), which has been

OVERVIEW
ICICI Bank Limited (ICICI Bank or the Bank), incorporated in Vadodara,
India is a publicly held banking company engaged in providing a wide
range of banking and financial services including commercial banking
and treasury operations. ICICI Bank is a banking company governed by
the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The Bank also has overseas branches
in Bahrain, Dubai, Hong Kong, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Singapore, United
States of America and Offshore Banking Unit.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
requirements prescribed under the Third Schedule of the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949. The accounting and reporting policies of ICICI
Bank used in the preparation of these financial statements conform to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP), the
guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time, the
Accounting Standards (AS) issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI) and notified under the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 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 income on non-performing
assets (NPAs) where it is recognised upon realisation.
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make
estimates and assumptions that are considered in the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the
date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses
during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates
used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and
reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.
The following additional disclosures have been made taking into account
the requirements of Accounting Standards (ASs) and Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) guidelines in this regard.
1. Earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings per equity share are computed in accordance
with AS 20-Earnings per share. Basic earnings per equity share is
computed by dividing net profit after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The diluted
earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average number
of equity shares and weighted average number of dilutive potential
equity shares outstanding during the year.
1. For the purpose of computing the ratio, working funds represent the
monthly average of total assets as reported in Form X to RBI under
Section 27 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
2. For the purpose of computing the ratio, assets represent monthly
average of total assets as reported in Form X to RBI under Section 27
of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
3. The number of employees includes sales executives, employees on
fixed term contracts and interns.
4. The average deposits and the average advances represent the simple
average of the figures reported in Form A to RBI under Section 42(2) of
the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
3. Capital adequacy ratio
The Bank is subject to the Basel II capital adequacy guidelines
stipulated by RBI with effect from March 31, 2008. The RBI guidelines
on Basel II require the Bank to maintain a minimum capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio (CRAR) of 9.0% and a minimum Tier I CRAR of
6.0% on an ongoing basis.
RBI has also stipulated that banks shall maintain capital at higher of
the minimum capital required as per Basel II or 80% of the minimum
capital requirement under Basel I. At March 31, 2013, the prudential
floor at 80% of the minimum capital requirement under Basel I was Rs.
359,052.2 million and was lower than the minimum capital requirement of
Rs. 397,749.2 million under Basel II. Hence, the Bank has maintained
capital adequacy at March 31, 2013 as per the Basel II norms.
4. Information about business and geographical segments Business
Segments
Pursuant to the guidelines issued by RBI on Accounting Standard
17-(Segment Reporting)- Enhancement of Disclosures dated April 18,
2007, effective from year ended March 31, 2008, the following business
segments have been reported.
- Retail Banking includes exposures which satisfy the four criteria
of orientation, product, granularity and low value of individual
exposures for retail exposures laid down in Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision document "International Convergence of Capital Measurement
and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework".
- 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.
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.
5. Maturity pattern
- In compiling the information of maturity pattern, certain estimates
and assumptions have been made by the management.
- Assets and liabilities in foreign currency exclude off-balance
sheet assets and liabilities.
6. Preference shares
Certain government securities amounting to Rs. 2,749.9 million at March
31, 2013 (March 31, 2012: Rs. 2,578.1 million) have been earmarked
against redemption of preference shares issued by the Bank, which fall
due for redemption on April 20, 2018, as per the original issue terms.
7. Employee Stock option Scheme (ESoS)
In terms of the ESOS, as amended, the maximum number of options granted
to any eligible employee in a financial year shall not exceed 0.05% of
the issued equity shares of the Bank at the time of grant of the
options and aggregate of all such options granted to the eligible
employees shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued
equity shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options. Under
the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply for
equity shares. Options granted for fiscal 2003 vest in a graded manner
over a three-year period, with 20%, 30% and 50% of the grants vesting
in each year commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of
grant. Options granted from fiscal 2004 vest in a graded manner over a
four-year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of the grants vesting in
each year commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant.
Options granted in April 2009 vest in a graded manner over a five year
period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of grant vesting each year,
commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of grant. Options
granted in September, 2011 vest in a graded manner over a five years
period with 15%, 20%, 20% and 45% of grant vesting each year,
commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of the grant. The
options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or five
years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. The exercise price
of Bank''s options was the last closing price on the stock exchange,
which recorded highest trading volume preceding the date of grant of
options. Hence, there was no compensation cost based on intrinsic value
of options.
In February, 2011, the Bank granted 3,035,000 options to eligible
employees and whole-time Directors of ICICI Bank and certain of its
subsidiaries at an exercise price of Rs. 967. Of these options granted,
50% would vest on April 30, 2014 and the balance 50% would vest on
April 30, 2015. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the
date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is
later. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of Rs.
21.0 million was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2013 (March
31, 2012: Rs. 21.0 million).
If ICICI Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree
model, compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2013 would have
been higher by Rs. 1,865.9 million and proforma profit after tax would
have been Rs. 81.39 billion. On a proforma basis, ICICI Bank''s basic
and diluted earnings per share would have been Rs. 70.58 and Rs. 70.32
respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
options granted during the year ended March 31, 2013 are given below.
The options were exercised regularly throughout the period and weighted
average share price as per NSE price volume data during the year ended
March 31, 2013 was Rs. 1,000.21 (March 31, 2012: Rs. 922.76).

31. Disclosure on remuneration Compensation policy and practices (A)
Qualitative disclosures
a) Information relating to the composition and mandate of the
remuneration Committee
The Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee (BGRNC)
comprises three independent Directors. The functions of the Committee
include recommendation of appointments of Directors to the Board,
evaluation of the performance of the Managing Director & CEO (MD & CEO)
and other wholetime Directors (WTDs) on predetermined parameters,
recommendation to the Board of the remuneration (including performance
bonus and perquisites) to WTDs, approval of the policy for and quantum
of bonus payable to the members of the staff, framing of guidelines for
the Employees Stock Option Scheme (ESOS) and recommendation of grant of
the Bank''s stock options to employees and WTDs of the Bank and its
subsidiary companies.
b) Information relating to design and structure of remuneration
processes and the key features and objectives of remuneration policy
The Bank has under the guidance of the Board and the BGRNC, followed
compensation practices intended to drive meritocracy within the
framework of prudent risk management. This approach has been
incorporated in the Compensation Policy approved by the Board on
January 31, 2012, pursuant to the guidelines issued by RBI.
The key elements of the Bank''s compensation practices are:
- Effective governance of compensation: the BGRNC has oversight over
compensation. The Committee defines Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
for wholetime Directors and equivalent positions and the organisational
performance norms for bonus based on the financial and strategic plan
approved by the Board. The KPIs include both quantitative and
qualitative aspects. The BGRNC assesses organisational performance as
well as the individual performance for wholetime Directors and
equivalent positions. Based on its assessment, it makes
recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for wholetime
Directors and equivalent positions and bonus for employees.
- Alignment of compensation philosophy with prudent risk taking: the
Bank seeks to achieve a prudent mix of fixed and variable pay, with a
higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and no guaranteed
bonuses. Compensation is sought to be aligned to both financial and
non-financial indicators of performance including aspects like risk
management and customer service. In addition, the Bank has an employee
stock option scheme aimed at aligning compensation to long term
performance through stock option grants that vest over a period of
time. Compensation of staff in financial and risk control functions is
independent of the business areas they oversee and depends on their
performance assessment.
c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken
into account in the remuneration processes including the nature and
type of the key measures used to take account of these risks.
The Board approves the risk framework for the Bank and the business
activities of the Bank are undertaken within this framework to achieve
the financial plan. The risk framework includes the Bank''s risk
appetite, limits framework and policies and procedures governing
various types of risk. KPIs of wholetime Directors & equivalent
positions, as well as employees, incorporate relevant risk management
related aspects. For example, in addition to performance targets in
areas such as growth and profits, performance indicators include
aspects such as the desired funding profile and asset quality. The
BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing
organisational and individual performance and making compensation-
related recommendations to the Board.
d) Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to link performance
during a performance measurement period with levels of remuneration
The level of performance bonus, increments in salary and allowances and
grant of stock options is determined based on the assessment of
performance as described above.
e) Discussion of the Bank''s policy on deferral and vesting of variable
remuneration and the Bank''s policy and criteria for adjusting deferred
remuneration before vesting and after vesting
The quantum of bonus for an employee does not exceed a certain
percentage (as stipulated in the compensation policy) of the total
fixed pay in a year. Within this percentage, if the quantum of bonus
exceeds a predefined threshold percentage of the total fixed pay, a
part of the bonus is deferred and paid over a period. The deferred
portion is subject to malus, under which the Bank would prevent vesting
of all or part of the variable pay in the event of an enquiry
determining gross negligence or breach of integrity. In such cases,
variable pay already paid out is also subject to clawback arrangements.
f) Description of the different forms of variable remuneration that the
Bank utilises and the rationale for using these different forms
The Bank pays performance linked retention pay (PLRP) to its front-line
staff and junior management and performance bonus to its middle and
senior management. PLRP aims to reward front line and junior managers,
mainly on the basis of skill maturity attained through experience and
continuity in role which is a key differentiator for customer service.

the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled to apply for
equity shares. Options granted for fiscal 2003 and earlier years vest
in a graded manner over a three-year period, with 20%, 30% and 50% of
the grants vesting in each year commencing from the end of 12 months
from the date of grant. Options granted from fiscal 2004 vest in a

subsidiaries at an exercise price of Rs 967. Of these options granted,

the grants vesting in each year commencing from the end of 12 months
from the date of grant. Options granted for fiscal 2004 to 2008 vest in

current year presentation.
Mar 31, 2010
1. Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed in accordance with
Accounting Standard-20 - Earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could
occur if contracts to issue equity shares were exercised or converted
during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed using
the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential
equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the results are
anti-dilutive.
2. Lease transactions
Lease payments for assets taken on operating lease are recognised as an
expense in the profit and loss account over the lease term.
3. 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 following additional disclosures have been made taking into account
the requirements of accounting standards and Reserve Bank of India

Tier I capital ratio of 6.0%. Prior to March 31, 2008, the Bank was
subject to the capital adequacy norms as stipulated by the RBI
guidelines on Basel I.
RBI has stipulated that the minimum capital maintained by banks on
adoption of the Basel II framework shall be subject to a prudential
floor, which shall be higher of the minimum capital required as per
Basel II or a specified percentage of the minimum capital required as
per Basel I (80% at March 31, 2010). The computation under Basel II
guidelines results in a higher minimum capital requirement as compared
to Basel I and hence the capital adequacy at March 31, 2010 has been
maintained and reported by the Bank as per Basel II guidelines.

consider these matters to have a material adverse financial impact in
excess of provisions already made in the financial statements.

These represent amounts remaining unpaid towards purchase of
investments. These payment obligations of the Bank do not have any

course of business, to exchange currencies at a pre-fixed price at a
future date. This item represents the notional principal amount of such
contracts, which are derivative instruments. With respect to the
transactions entered into with its customers, the Bank generally enters
into off-setting transactions in the inter-bank market. This results in
generation of a higher number of outstanding transactions, and hence a
large value of gross notional principal of the portfolio, while the net
market risk is lower.
4. Guarantees given on behalf of constituents, acceptances,
endorsements and other obligations
These items represent the guarantees and documentary credits issued by
the Bank as part of its trade finance banking activities, on behalf of
its customers in favour of third parties, with a view to augment the
customersà credit standing. Through these instruments, the Bank
undertakes to make payments for its customersà obligations, either
directly or in case of failure of the customers to fulfil their
financial or performance obligations.

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

the securitisation, notional principal amounts of credit derivatives
and repurchase obligations. The Bank is also obligated under a number
of capital contracts. Capital contracts are job orders of a capital
nature which have been committed.

applicable as the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2009 has abolished FBT with
effect from financial year 2009-10.
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
