Bank offers derivative products such as Interest Rate Swaps (IRS), Forward Rate Agreements (FRA) and Cross Currency Swaps (CCS)
to its customers to enable them to hedge their interest rate risk and currency risk within the prevalent regulatory guidelines

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), Modified Mumbai Inter-Bank Forward Offer Rate (Mod MIFOR) and Alternative Reference Rates (ARR) like Sterling
Overnight Index Average (SONIA), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), EURO Short term rate (ESTR), Tokyo Overnight Average
Rate (TONAR), etc.

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. Bond Forward Rate Agreement (Bond-FRA) is a derivative contract where two parties agree to exchange the difference
between a fixed price (determined today) and the actual market price of a specific bond at a future date.

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

3.3 Risk Exposure in Derivatives

Derivatives are financial instruments whose characteristics are derived from an underlying asset, or from interest and exchange
rates or indices. Derivatives Policy approved by the Board of Directors defines the framework for carrying out derivatives business
and lays down policies and processes to measure, monitor and report risk arising from derivative transactions. The policy provides
for appropriate risk limits for different derivative products and action to be initiated in case of breaches. As part of the Derivatives
Policy, the Bank has a Product Suitability and Customer Appropriateness Policy, which is used to classify customers on the basis of
their need for various derivative products and their competence in understanding such products and the attendant risks involved.

The Bank undertakes derivative transactions for hedging customers' exposure, hedging the Bank's own exposure, as well as for
trading purposes, wherever permitted by RBI. The customers use these derivative products to hedge their forex and interest
rate exposures, in accordance with extant regulatory guidelines. The Bank has a policy on assessing the collateral required for
undertaking derivative transactions with clients as well as counterparty Banks. The credit appraisal process determines the collateral
requirements. The Bank retains the right to terminate transactions as a risk mitigation measure in certain circumstances.

The use of derivatives for hedging purposes is governed by the board approved Derivative policy. Bank enters into Forwards and
other derivative instruments such as Principal Only Swap (POS), etc. to hedge FX risk arising from its on-balance sheet liabilities such
as foreign currency deposits and borrowings. The effectiveness is assessed at inception of the hedge and quarterly thereafter. The
tenor of hedging instrument may be less than or equal to the tenor of underlying hedged asset or liability. Gains or losses arising from
hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognized in the profit and loss Account. Guidance Note on accounting for derivative contracts
and Accounting Standard 11 is applicable to all derivative contracts entered into by the Bank. Forward exchange contract or another
financial instrument that is in substance a forward exchange contract i.e. Principal only Swap (POS), etc., which are not intended
for trading or speculation purposes, to establish the amount of the reporting currency required or available at the settlement date
of a transaction are accounted for in line with AS 11. The premium or discount arising at the inception of such a forward exchange
contract is amortized as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in
the statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change. Derivatives for market making purpose
are marked to market and the resulting gain/loss is recorded in the Profit and Loss Account.

Risk Management Department of the Bank is responsible for measuring, reporting and monitoring risk arising from derivatives
transactions. It functions independent of Treasury Business Department and undertakes the following activities:

• Monitoring risk utilization on derivatives portfolio against prescribed limits on a daily basis;

• Daily review of product-wise profitability and activity reports for derivatives operations;

• Daily submission of MIS to the Top Management

The Risk Management function applies many quantitative tools and methods such as Value at Risk, PV01, Greeks, stop-loss limits
and counterparty limits.

5.2 Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

The Bank has adopted the Basel III framework on liquidity standards, prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and has put in place
requisite systems and processes to enable periodic automated computation and reporting of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). The
LCR is aimed at measuring and promoting the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of Banks by ensuring maintenance of
sufficient High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) that can be easily and immediately converted into cash to meet the liquidity needs for
a 30 calendar day liquidity stress scenario.

The LCR Ratio is calculated by dividing the Bank's stock of HQLA by its total net cash flows over a 30 calendar day stress period,
measured on a daily basis for the following 30 days. The prime driver of LCR is determined by its HQLA and the proportion of retail and
wholesale funding sources. The HQLA comprises of two parts, i.e. Level 1 HQLA constituents which are primarily cash, excess CRR, SLR
securities in excess of the minimum SLR requirement and a portion of mandatory SLR as permitted by the RBI (under MSF and FALLCR)
and Level 2 HQLA constituents which are investments in highly rated non-financial corporate bonds and listed equity investments
considered with the prescribed regulatory haircuts. The average HQLA for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was '1,14,559 crores,
as against '1,06,499 crores for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Cash outflows are determined by multiplying the outstanding
balances of the various types / categories of liabilities by the outflow run-off factor and the cash inflows are calculated by multiplying
the outstanding balances of the various categories of contractual receivables by inflow run-offs at which they are expected to flow
in. Expected derivative cash outflows and inflows are calculated for outstanding contracts in accordance with laid down valuation
methodologies and regulatory guidelines. All significant outflows and inflows determined in accordance with the RBI guidelines
and are included in the LCR computation as per the prescribed template. Other contractual funding and borrowings which are
expected to run down in a 30-day time frame are included in the cash outflows. There are no intragroup exposures for the Bank for
LCR purpose.

The Bank has maintained LCR well above the minimum regulatory requirements during the FY 2025-2026. The average LCR maintained
by the Bank for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was at 117.99% against 118.43% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Bank is a decision-making unit responsible for implementing the liquidity and interest
rate risk management strategies of the Bank in line with its risk management objectives and ensures adherence to the risk tolerance
/ limits set by the Board. Liquidity Risk Management of the Bank is centralized and is undertaken by the Asset Liability Management
Function in the Global Markets Group in accordance with the Board approved policies.

The Bank's funding sources are diversified across various sources and tenors. The Bank monitors the concentration of funding
from various counterparties and segments. The Bank adheres to the regulatory and internal limits on inter-Bank liabilities and call
money borrowings. Apart from LCR, the Risk Management Department measures and monitors the liquidity profile of the Bank with
reference to the Board approved policy and regulatory limits and undertakes liquidity stress testing periodically.

6.8 Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE) of Clients/ Borrowers

Currency induced credit risk refers to risk of inability of borrowers to service their debt obligations due to adverse movement in
the exchange rates and corresponding changes in their book values of trade payables, loan payables, trade receivables, etc. Bank
recognizes importance of adverse fluctuations of foreign exchange rates on profitability and financial position of borrowers who
are exposed to currency risk.

In this regard, Bank had put in place Board approved policy & internal processes for monitoring and mitigation of currency induced
credit risk of borrowers on account of un-hedged foreign currency exposures ("UFCE") which includes analysis in credit appraisal
notes, risk assessment of borrowers having un-hedged foreign currency exposures based on likely loss / EBID ratio and incremental
provisioning (over and above provision applicable for standard assets) made depending on the likely loss / EBID ratio as per
regulatory guidelines.

The provision for standard assets as of March 31, 2026, included an amount of '56.13 crores (Previous year '68.79 crores) towards
UFCE. Further, capital maintained under Basel III Capital Regulations, as of March 31, 2026, includes an amount of '287.30 crores
(Previous year '295.47 crores) on account of UFCE, computed at the applicable risk weights.

with effective supervisory oversight and stakeholder engagement. The compensation is linked to corporate performance, business
performance and individual performance. The compensation policy ensures a balance mix of fixed, variable & long-term pay, where
the current variable pay scheme is designed to reward employees based on holistic assessment of performance and actions in the
long term. The Compensation policy adheres to the principles as prescribed by the RBI.

The Bank's Compensation Policy provides the overarching governance framework for all employees of the Bank including MD/ CEO
and Whole time Directors of the Bank, Material Risk Taker (MRT), Risk Controller (RC) and Senior Management Personnels (SMP) of
the Bank.

Some of the important features of the Compensation Policy are as follows:

• Basis the RBI description of Material Risk Takers, the Bank defines Material Risk Takers (MRTs) whose actions have a material impact
on the risk exposure of the Bank, and who satisfy the qualitative and quantitative criteria prescribed by the RBI guidelines and
the Bank's Compensation policy.

• Definition of Senior Management Personnel: The Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) defines 'Senior Management" under the
explanation to Section 178 of the Act as personnel of the company, who are members of its Core management team excluding
the Board of Directors comprising all members of the management team one level below the Whole-time Directors, including the
functional heads'. The Senior Management of the Bank includes all employees who report directly to the MD & CEO or WTD, who

perquisites, contribution towards superannuation/ retirals and any other form of benefits including reimbursable perquisites
with monetary ceilings.

• As per the RBI guidelines, the Bank would seek RBI approval for Annual Performance Variable pay of WTDs / CEOs under Section
35 B of the Banking Regulation Act 1949. The Annual Bonus of the WTDs / CEOs would be fixed by the C & NRC of the Board,
recommended by the Board and approved by the RBI in accordance with the stipulated RBI guidelines.

• Compensation for SMPs, MRTs, & RC's including Performance - Linked Variable Pay will be recommended by MD & CEO and
reviewed & approved by C & NRC. The quantum of Performance - Linked Variable Pay for all other employees including WTDs,
CEO, SMPs, MRTs, and RCs to be disbursed for a Financial Year would be decided based on the financial performance of the Bank
in the financial year.

• The mix of fixed and variable compensation of staff engaged in control functions including Risk, Compliance and Internal Audit
should be weighed in favor of fixed compensation.

• The quantum of the variable pay for an employee will not exceed 300% of total fixed pay in a year. The proportion of variable
pay will be higher at senior levels and lower at junior levels. At least 50% of overall pay would be variable for WTDs, CEO, MRTs
and SMPs as a design. However, they can earn less variable pay based on various performance criteria.

• As per the new RBI Compensation policy effective April 1, 2020, the overall compensation of WTDs/CEOs/Material Risk Takers / Risk
Controllers comprises Fixed Pay and Variable Pay. The Variable Pay for FY25 paid to the Material Risk Taker and Risk Controllers
was a mix of cash and share linked instruments. The Bank followed the Variable pay composition and Deferral guidelines as per
the RBI policy.

• The Bank ensures a representative set of situations in its compensation policy, which requires them to invoke the Malus and
Claw back clauses that may be applicable on entire variable pay. The Malus & Claw back provisions mentioned in the Bank's
Compensation policy would be applicable for all concerned employees in the categories of WTDs, CEO, SMPs, MRTs, and RCs. The
Bank may apply similar principles of Malus and Clawback to other employees of the Bank as the situation may arise.

In the event of reasonable deterioration in the financial performance, as defined in the board approved business plan, the C &
NRC shall evaluate the conditions leading to deterioration, including changes in regulations, force majeure, market conditions,
industry performance, economic social or other conditions whether in or outside control of the Bank or any person and related
factors. and decide if malus needs to be applied on none, part or all the unvested deferred variable compensation of the previous
years. The Malus and Claw back arrangements would have a look-back period of 3 years.

hires, joining / sign on bonus can be granted in form of pre-hiring ESOPs (a one-time grant made at the time of joining).

form a part of the Variable Pay. ESOPs are very selectively granted to attract and retain talent. ESOP grant criteria include
grade of the employee, criticality of the position in terms of business continuity and growth, market value of the position/
perceived future value creation, performance and behavioural track record of the employee.

RBI, vide its clarification dated August 30, 2021, on Guidelines on Compensation of Whole Time Directors / Chief Executive Officers
/ Material Risk Takers and Control Function Staff, advised Banks that the fair value of share-linked instruments granted to such
personnel on the date of grant should be recognized as an expense for all the instruments granted after the accounting period
ending March 31, 2021. Accordingly, the Bank has changed its accounting policy from the intrinsic value method to the fair value
method for all share-linked instruments granted after March 31, 2021. The fair value of the stock-based compensation is estimated on
the date of grant using Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The
compensation so recognized in respect of which exercise of options is outstanding, is shown as Employee Stock Options Outstanding
on the face of the Balance Sheet.

The fair market price is the latest closing price prior to the date of the meeting of the Compensation and Nomination & Remuneration
Committee in which stock options are granted, available on the stock exchange on which the shares of the Bank are listed. Since
shares are listed on more than one stock exchange, the exchange where the Bank's shares have been traded highest on the said
date is considered for this purpose.
