L Provisions and contingencies

The Bank recognises a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of
resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when
there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or
disclosure is made.

Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that
an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is
virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the
change occurs.

M Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding 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.

N 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.
O Cash Flow Statements

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash
nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated
with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Bank are segregated.

Schedule 18 (Contd.)

18.2.2 Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

Qualitative disclosure around LCR

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is one of the Basel Committee’s key reforms to develop a more resilient banking sector. Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR) is a global minimum standard for Bank’s liquidity The ratio aims to ensure that a bank has an adequate stock of
unencumbered High - Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) that can be converted into cash easily and immediately to meet its liquidity needs for
a 30 calendar days of severe liquidity stress scenario.

The objective of the LCR is to promote the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of banks. It does this by ensuring that banks
have an adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to total estimated net outflows over a stressed period of 30
calendar days.

The net cash outflows are calculated by applying RBI prescribed outflow factors to the various categories of liabilities (deposits,
unsecured and secured wholesale borrowings), as well as to undrawn commitments and derivative-related exposures, partially offset by
inflows from assets maturing within 30 days.

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for management of liquidity risk. The Board at overall level decides the liquidity risk
tolerance/limits and accordingly decides the strategy policies and procedures of the Bank for managing liquidity risk.

The Board has constituted Risk Management Committee (RMC), which reports to the Board, and consisting of Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) /Chairman and certain other Board members. The Committee is responsible for evaluating the overall risks faced by
the Bank including liquidity risk. The potential interaction of liquidity risk with other risks is included in the risks addressed by the Risk
Management Committee.

At the executive level, Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) ensures adherence to the risk tolerance/limits set by the Board as
well as implementing the liquidity risk management strategy of the Bank in line with Bank’s risk management objectives and risk tolerance.
A dedicated desk within Treasury function of the Bank is responsible for the day-to-day / intra-day liquidity management.

ALCO of the Bank channelizes various business segments of the Bank to target good quality asset and liability profile to meet the Bank’s
profitability as well as Liquidity requirements with the help of robust MIS and Risk Limit architecture of the Bank.

The Bank has been maintaining HQLA (Level 1) primarily in the form of Excess CRR, excess SLR investments over and above mandatory
requirement. LCR is calculated by dividing a Bank’s stock of HQLA by its total net cash outflows over a 30 day period. The present
minimum regulatory requirement, as on March 31, 2025 is 100%.

In order to determine cash outflows, the Bank segregates its deposits into various customer segments, viz., Retail (which include deposits
from individuals), Small Business Customers(those with deposits upto H7.5 crore) and Wholesale (which would cover all residual deposits).
Other contractual funding, including a portion of other liabilities which are expected to run down in a 30 day time frame are included in the
cash outflows. These classifications, based on extant regulatory guidelines, are part of the Bank’s LCR framework, and are also submitted
to the RBI. The LCR is calculated by dividing a Bank’s stock of HQLA by its total net cash outflows over a 30 day stress period. The present
minimum requirement, as on March 31, 2025 is 100%.

In the Indian context, the run-off factors for the stressed scenarios are prescribed by the RBI, for various categories of liabilities (viz.,
deposits, unsecured and secured wholesale borrowings), undrawn commitments, derivative-related exposures, and offset with inflows
emanating from assets maturing within the same time period. Given below is a table of run-off factors and the average LCR maintained
by the Bank quarter-wise over the past two years as below:

18.2.3 Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)

Qualitative disclosure around NSFR

In the backdrop of the global financial crisis that started in 2007, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) proposed certain
reforms to strengthen global capital and liquidity regulations with the objective of promoting a more resilient banking sector In this regard,
comes into picture - “Basel III: International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring” which presented two
minimum standards, viz., Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) for funding liquidity.

The NSFR is defined as the amount of available stable funding relative to the amount of required stable funding. “Available stable funding”
(ASF) is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon of one year. The amount of stable
funding required (“Required stable funding”) (RSF) of a specific institution is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual
maturities of the various assets held by that institution as well as those of its off-balance sheet (OBS) exposures.

Minimum Requirement: ASF(Available Stable Funding)/RSF(Require Stable Funding)>=100. The Bank is required to maintain the NSFR
on an ongoing basis on a standalone basis. The minimum NSFR requirement set out in the RBI guideline effective October 1,2021 is 100%.

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for management of liquidity risk. The Board at overall level decides the liquidity risk
tolerance/limits and accordingly decides the strategy, policies and procedures of the Bank for managing liquidity risk.

At the executive level, Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) ensures adherence to the risk tolerance/limits set by the Board as
well as implementing the liquidity risk management strategy of the Bank in line with Bank’s risk management objectives and risk tolerance.
A dedicated desk within Treasury function of the Bank is responsible for the day-to-day / intra-day liquidity management.
