b) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) standard has beenintroduced with the objective that a Bank maintainsan adequate level of unencumbered High QualityLiquid Assets (HOLAs) that can be converted intocash to meet its liquidity needs for a 30-calendar daytime horizon under a significantly severe liquiditystress scenario.
Minimum requirement of LCR as stipulated by RBIis 100% for the calendar year 2019 onwards. RBIhas mandated the management of LCR at solo andconsolidated level.
HOLA comprises Level 1 assets (0% hair-cut), Level2A assets (l5% hair-cut) and Level 2B assets (50%hair-cut). Level 1 assets comprising cash, excessCRR, excess SLR securities, Government securities tothe extent allowed by RBI under Marginal StandingFacility (MSF) [2% of the Bank's Net Demand &Time Liabilities (NDTL)] and Facility to Avail Liquidityfor Liquidity Coverage Ratio (FALLCR) [16% of theBank's NDTL]. Level 2A assets comprises sovereignguaranteed marketable securities, corporate bondsor commercial papers which are rated AA- and better,issued other than by non-financial institutions.
Expected net cash outflows under stress are theweighted sum of outflows minus inflows in the next30 days. The inflows are taken with pre-defined hair¬cuts and the outflows are taken at pre-defined runoff factors. Funding from retail and small businesscustomers carries lower run-off factor as comparedto wholesale funding.
Composition of HOLA: The Bank during the threemonths ended 31st March 2025 maintained averageHOLA of '3,20,508.13 crore. Level 1 assets contributeto 99.07% of the total stock of HOLA. Facility to availLiquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio constitutes thehighest portion to HOLA i.e., around 64.40% of thetotal HOLA. Level 2 assets which are lower in qualityas compared to Level 1 assets, constitute 0.93% of thetotal stock of HOLA against maximum permissiblelevel of 40%.
Funding Profile: Unsecured wholesale fundingconstitutes major portion of total weighted cashoutflow. Retail deposits and deposits from smallbusiness customers put together contributed around20.54% of the total weighted cash outflows. Depositsfrom non-financial corporates, sovereigns, central
banks, multilateral development banks and PSEscontributed around 32.42% of the total weightedcash outflows. Bank's exposure is majorly in IndianRupee.
LCR of the Bank: Bank has maintained LCR well abovethe minimum regulatory level on an ongoing basis.Historical trend of Consolidated LCR of the Bank is asfollows:
The daily average LCR of Canara Bank (Consolidated)for the quarter ended 31st March 2025 was 125.26%.The Bank has been maintaining HQLA mainly in theform of SLR investments over and above the mandatoryrequirements. The Bank has consistently kept a healthyfunding profile with a major portion of funding throughdeposits. Retail deposits constitute major portion of totalfunding sources which are well diversified. In addition todaily / monthly LCR reporting, Bank also monitors theliquidity position through various regulatory statementsviz. Structural Liquidity Statement and Stock Ratios.Derivative exposures are considered insignificant due toalmost matching inflows and outflows position. Duringthe quarter, LCR for USD (significant foreign currencyconstituting more than 5% of the balance sheet of theBank was 137.77% on average.
Liquidity Management in the Bank is driven by the ALMPolicy of the Bank and regulatory prescriptions. The ALCOhas been empowered by the Bank's Board to formulatethe Bank's funding strategies to ensure that the fundingsources are well diversified and is consistent withthe operational requirements of the Bank. AdequateContingency Funding Plan is also in place, which isreviewed on periodic basis to ensure the availability offunds to meet any stressed liquidity event. Monitoring ofliquidity is centralized at Risk Management Wing, HeadOffice and managed centrally at Integrated TreasuryWing, Head Office.
The following table summarizes the average ofunweighted and weighted value of the LCR componentsfor the 4th quarter of FY 2024-25. The simple averagehas been computed based on daily values for the threemonths of quarter.
