RISK ENVISAGED BY MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS (MP) TO ADDRESS THE RISKS Following are certain issues for the investors to consider before taking an investment decision in the offer. In some of the risk factors and management proposals thereof, reference has been invited for detailed para mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum, which can be used to obtain more details about the said risk. INTERNAL RISKS 1. Redemption Reserve & Unsecured Bonds Creation of Redemption Reserve is not envisaged for the proposed issue of bonds and the Bonds proposed to be issued are unsecured i.e. they are not proposed to be secured against any asset of the Bank. MP: IndusInd Bank is a banking company within the meaning of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The resources through current issue of bonds are being raised by the Bank for augmenting the Tier-II Capital for strengthening the Capital Adequacy and enhancing its long-term resources. Department of Company Affairs, Ministry of Law Justice and Company Affairs, Government of India has vide general clarification no.6/3/2001-CL.V dated 18/04/2002 clarified that banks need not create Debenture Redemption Reserve as specified under section 117C of the Companies Act, 1956. Also as per extant RBI guidelines in respect of issue of Tier-II bonds issued vide its circular no. DBOD. BP.BC.5/21.01.002/98-99 dated 08-02-1999; the Tier-II bonds are to be issued as unsecured non-convertible and subordinated bonds for being eligible for inclusion in Tier II capital of the Issuing Bank. Moreover since the resources raised by IndusInd Bank are being utilised for the purpose of its business i.e. providing credit and other facilities to the industry, the assets of IndusInd Bank are mostly in form of loans and advances. Hence it is proposed that the bonds shall be unsecured in nature and that they shall not be secured against any asset of the Bank. The Bank has appointed a Trustee to protect the interest of the investors. 2. Credit Risk The business of lending carries the risk of default by the borrowers.

MP: Any lending activity is exposed to credit risk arising from the risk of default by the borrowers. The Bank takes adequate care to minimise such risks by having a well-diversified loan portfolio, in terms of industry, business segments, products, size, group etc. Industry-wise, product-wise, promoter group-wise, individual client-wise and credit rating-wise exposure limits are set to avoid concentration of lending to any specific section of the borrowers / industries and to help minimise credit risk. The Bank follows a comprehensive credit / project appraisal system and lending norms. The Bank has put in place a system based and sophisticated credit rating system acquired from Crisil that enables objective and comprehensive assessment of risks. The borrowal accounts are rated on several parameters classified under Industry risk, Business risk, Financial risk, Management risk and Project risk. To assist informed and objective risk assessment, the Bank has subscribed to Industry Research reports, Industry Risk Scores, Business Risk factors from Crisil and also maintains active industry research desk, which rolls out well-researched reports on various industries. Credit risk assessment is also aided by automated computation of financials, accurately generating comprehensive set of ratios. All the exposures proposed are screened thoroughly and approved by Committees comprising of senior officials with rich past experience.

The Bank has significantly enhanced its credit appraisal and monitoring system infrastructure which are aimed at mitigating various credit related risks.For other details on the credit risk management process in the Bank, the investors may refer to the para ‘Risk Management’ mentioned elsewhere in this Self Information Memorandum.

3. Market Risks Increased interest rate volatility exposes IndusInd Bank to market rate risk arising out of maturity/ rate mismatches. MP: Risks arising from interest rate volatility are inherent to the business of financial intermediation and lending. However, the Bank has put in place a system of regular review of lending and deposit rates in order to minimise the interest rate risk. The Asset Liability Management Committee of the Bank reviews the risk on a regular basis. Continuous risk management measures are initiated depending upon the movement in the market interest rates. Movements in interest rates are closely monitored for appropriate action. For more


details on the Risk Management procedures, investors are advised to refer to para ‘Risk Management’ mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum. 4. Asset Liability Mismatch A large portion of the funding of the Bank is in the form of short and medium term deposits. The asset liability position of the Bank could be affected if the depositors do not roll over the deposits. MP: As per the behavioral analysis carried out, a large portion of the deposits gets rolled over. The Bank feels that in the event of these deposits not being rolled over, the fresh accretion of deposits would take care of the Asset Liability mismatches. In addition, the Bank has the cushion of investments of Rs. 1649.29 crores in the long-term (over 5 years) category, which can be utilized to correct any medium term mismatches. The Bank has an Asset Liability Management system in place which actively monitors and manages the duration and liquidity mismatches. For more details on the Asset Liability position refer to the para ‘Asset Liability Management’ mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum. 5. Credit Rating IndusInd Bank has obtained credit rating of ‘A+(ind)’ from FITCH for an amount of Rs. 120 crores for its current issue of Tier-II Bonds. This rating indicates adequate credit quality and that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate. The capacity may, nevertheless be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than in the case for higher ratings. Short-term debt instruments of the Bank were assigned a rating as follows – Deposits - P1+ by CRISIL in September 2004 & Certificate of Deposits of Rs. 250 crs – F1+ by FITCH in December 2004. MP: Investors may please note that, the rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and investors should take their own decision. The rating may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. The ratings obtained are subject to revision at any point of time in the future. The Rating agency has the right to suspend, withdraw or revise the rating at any time on the basis of new information etc. Credit Rating of all listed and unlisted taxable bonds/ debentures/ commercial paper issued by the IndusInd Bank for the last 3 years have been disclosed under the head ‘Credit Rating’ mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum. 6. Contingent Liabilities As on March 31, 2004 the contingent liabilities of the Bank were at Rs 5283.58.crores comprising claims against the Bank not acknowledged as debts (Rs. 140.20 crores), liability on account of outstanding forward exchange contracts (Rs. 4143.86 crores), guarantees on behalf of constituents (Rs.288.21 crores), acceptances, endorsements and other obligations (Rs. 678.44 crores) and others (Rs. 32.88 crores). MP: The contingent liabilities have arisen in the normal course of business of the Bank and are according to the prudential norms prescribed by RBI. 7. Requests / Pending Grievances As on 31.03.2004 no shareholders’ complaints was pending. Total complaints received from shareholders and disposed of during the period 01.04.2003 to 31.03.2004 were 1963. MP: IndusInd Bank has set up a Stakeholders Relation Committee which consists of three members out of which two are independent directors of the Bank. A non-executive director is elected as chairman for the meeting by the members present. The Company Secretary discharges the responsibilities of a Compliance officer for this purpose. The committee meets generally every half-year and reviews the stakeholders relations. Share transfers, dividend payment and all other investor related activities are attended to and processed at the office of the Registrar & Transfer Agent, Intime Spectrum Registry Limited. No shareholders’ complaint has been pending against the Bank. With respect to the current issue of bonds, the Bank has designated Mr. P. Raghunathan as the Compliance Officer, who can be contacted by the investors in case of any pre-issue/ post-issue related problems such as non-credit of letter(s) of allotment/ bond certificate(s) in the demat account, non-receipt of refund order(s), interest warrant(s)/ cheque(s) etc 8. Income Tax Proceedings Various proceedings against the Bank relating to Income Tax amounting to Rs. 85.34 crores and Interest Tax amounting to Rs. 0.72 crores are pending in appeal with the Income Tax authorities. The Bank has not made any provision in this regard and adverse ruling, if any, shall affect the financials of the Bank. MP: Appeals have been referred to concerned Tax authorities in respect of the above.


9. Non Performing Assets (NPAs) As on 31.03.2004 and 31.12.2004, the net NPAs of the Bank stood at 2.72% and 4.50% of its net advances amounting to Rs. 7812.23 crores and Rs. 7374.16 crores respectively in absolute terms. In the event of non-recovery of these assets, the Bank may have to provide for these NPAs, which might affect the profitability of the Bank in future. For details, investors are advised to refer to para ‘Asset Classification, Income Recognition & Provisioning’ mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum. MP: The Bank has provided for its NPAs in conformity with RBI guidelines and is taking steps to reduce the proportion of non-performing assets through aggressive recovery drives combined with improved risk management practices. Further, there have been substantial changes in the legislative and operating environment enabling FIs and Banks to pursue recovery of overdues. Besides Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) set up for faster settlement of recovery litigation, GoI has enacted ‘The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002’ enabling FIs and Banks to securities and reconstruct financial assets and enforce security more effectively. Reserve Bank of India has formulated detailed guidelines for operation of the scheme. 10. Profits of the Bank The growth in net profits of the Bank from Rs. 90.17 crores in FY 2003 to Rs. 262.06 crores in FY 2004 (growth of 190.62%) can be mainly attributed to treasury profits, which may not be sustainable in future. The Bank made a profit of Rs. 226.83 crores from sale of investments (treasury income) during FY04. MP: It is true that the bank made profit on sale of investments of Rs 226.83 crs during FY 2004.The trend in the current year has however been reversed and the operating profit of the Bank k has come from diversified income streams comprising interest income which accounts for 74.09% of total income & other income which accounts for 25.91% of the total income. Hence, a substantial part of the growth in operating profits is accounted for by interest income. 11. Outstanding Litigations against the Bank There are outstanding litigations amounting to Rs. 37.32 crores (a total of 44 cases) for “Claims not acknowledged as debts”. For details, please refer to the para on Litigation mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum. MP: These claims are not likely to affect the operations and finances of the Bank. 12. Utilization of Funds The utilization of the funds proposed to be raised through this private placement is entirely at the discretion of the Bank and no monitoring agency has been appointed to monitor the deployment of funds. MP: The funds raised through this private placement are not meant for any specific project and hence a monitoring agency may not be required. The Bank is managed by professionals under the supervision of its Board of Directors. Further, the Bank is subject to a number of regulatory checks and balances as stipulated in its regulatory environment. Therefore, the management believes that the funds raised via this private placement would be utilised only towards satisfactory fulfillment of the ‘Objects of the Issue’ mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum. EXTERNAL RISKS 1. Regulatory restrictions on the Bank and limitations of the powers of bondholders of the Bank There are a number of restrictions as per the Banking Regulations Act, 1949 (Amended), which impede flexibility of the operations of the Bank and affect/restrict investors’ right. These are as under: i. The Bank can carry on business/activities as specified in the Act. There is no flexibility to pursue profitable avenues if they arise, in contrast with companies under the Companies Act, where shareholders can amend the Objects Clause by a special resolution. ii. In terms of Section 8 of The Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the Bank is prohibited from trading in goods, which may act as an operational constraint. iii. In terms of Section 17(1) of The Banking Regulation Act, 1949, every banking company shall create a Reserve Fund and shall, out of the balance of profit of each year as disclosed in the Profit & Loss a/c prepared under Section 29 and before any dividend is declared, transfer to the Reserve Fund a sum equivalent to not less than twenty five percent of such profit. iv. In terms of Section 19 of The Banking Regulation Act, 1949 there are some restrictions on the banking companies regarding opening of subsidiaries which may deny the Bank from exploiting emerging business opportunities. v. In terms of Section 23 of The Banking Regulation Act, 1949 there are certain restrictions on the banking companies regarding opening of new place of business and transfer of existing place of business, which may hamper the operational flexibility of the Bank.


vi. In terms of Section 25 of The Banking Regulation Act, 1949 each banking company has to maintain assets in India which is not less than 75% of its demand and time liabilities in India which in turn may prohibit the Bank from creating overseas assets and exploiting overseas business opportunities. vii. There are restrictions in the Banking Regulation Act regarding, • Management of a bank including appointment of directors. • Borrowings and creation of floating charge thereby hampering leverage. • Expansion of business, as the branches need to be licensed. • Disclosures in the profit & loss account and balance sheet. • Production of documents and availability of records for inspection by shareholders. • Reconstruction of banks through amalgamation. • Further issues of capital including issue of bonus shares/rights shares. 2. Sensitivity to the Economy and Extraneous Factors The Bank’s performance is highly correlated to the performance of the economy and the financial markets. The health of the economy and the financial markets in turn depends on the domestic economic growth, state of the global economy and business and consumer confidence, among other factors. Any event disturbing the dynamic balance of these diverse factors would directly or indirectly affect the performance of the Bank including the quality and growth of its assets. 3. Competition from Existing and New Commercial Banks Competition in the financial sector has increased with the entry of new players and is likely to increase further as a result of further deregulation in the financial sector. The Bank may face competition both in raising resources and in deploying them. MP: The Bank has an established broad-based presence and has been taking steps to enhance customer satisfaction by upgrading skills, systems and technology to meet such challenges. The Bank is attempting to add quality assets on competitive terms. The Bank is also taking steps to broad base its product bouquet with a special emphasis on enhancement in the non-fund based income. On the resource-raising front, the Bank is actively endeavoring to broaden its reach and raise resources through its wide distribution network of 98 branches and 10 extension counters. For more details on the business environment of the Bank, investors are advised to refer to the para ‘Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results’ mentioned elsewhere in this Shelf Information Memorandum.

4. Disintermediation in the Financial Markets As the financial markets mature and with growing developments in the capital markets, the trend towards disintermediation may be increasingly in evidence. In such a scenario, many companies including the current and potential borrowers of the Bank may access capital markets directly for their financing needs and reduce their dependence on the banking system. This may have an adverse impact on the level of deposits and also on the level and mix of advances portfolio and the profitability of the Banks. MP: The Bank has, in recent years, launched several retail lending schemes and value added products so as to broaden its borrower base. Further, disintermediation brings with it the opportunity for the Bank to expand its fee-based activities. The Bank has been endeavoring to develop a presence in several financial services to earn fee based income by focusing on businesses such as foreign exchange, treasury, investments, cash management, depository services, debenture trustee etc., thus taking advantage of the disintermediation phenomenon. 5. Forex Risk Exchange Rate fluctuations may have an impact on the Bank’s financial performance. MP: As per RBI guidelines, banks are not allowed to keep open position on their foreign exchange transactions beyond prescribed limits on a daily basis. Foreign exchange transactions beyond such limits, if any, must be squared off at the end of each day. Hence, the risk from exchange rate fluctuations is minimised. The Board of Directors of the Bank has also prescribed limits for gaps or mismatches in maturities of Bank’s foreign currency assets and liabilities and forward transactions in foreign exchange. The Bank operates within the limits fixed for gaps or mismatches in maturities of Bank’s foreign currency assets and liabilities and forward transactions in foreign exchange, thus minimising the risks of mismatches in maturities and interest rates. 6. Interest Rate Risk Present interest rates on deposits and advances are based on so many micro and macro economic factors including the directives of the Reserve Bank of India which are likely to be market driven due to deregulation and thereby may result in increasing pressure on spreads and affect profitability. Interest rate volatility exposes the Bank to an interest rate risk or market risk. Such interest rate risk has a potential impact on net


interest income or net interest margin as well as on the market value of the fixed income securities held by the Bank in its investment portfolio. MP: These risks are inherent in the banking business. However, the Bank has put in place a system of regular review of lending and deposit rates in order to minimise the interest rate risk. The Asset Liability Management Committees of the Bank reviews the risk on a regular basis. Continuous Risk Management measures are initiated depending upon the movement in the market interest rates. The movement in the interest rates is closely monitored for appropriate action. 7. Operational Risk Operational risk is the risk of losses resulting from failure or inadequacy of operating system in a bank due to disruptions of systems, fraudulent activities, natural disaster, human error or omission or sabotage or faulty / ineffective processes. The failure or inadequacy may relate to Systems, Processes, People or external events. MP: The Bank has mitigated its operational risk by taking the following steps: • The Bank has acquired state-of-the-art-software solutions, which are suitably customized for the Bank

and are operating in fully automated environment, which reduces the scope for human commissions and omissions.

• Recognizing the fact that its operations are fully automated, the Bank has given a great thrust to IT

infrastructure. Comprehensive IT Security Policy has been implemented and the Bank has acquired a fully secured and sophisticated data centre with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Bank has also put in place a hot-site Disaster Recovery Plan at a distant centre.

• The Bank has documented Standard Operating Procedures and has been updating the same

periodically. The Bank has also received ISO–9001:2000 certification for banking operations at all its branches. The Bank has an integrated and independent Audit Dept, which ensures effective compliance through independent full-time internal audit staff stationed in major branches, inspection carried out periodically and through remote scrutiny on an on-going basis.

• The Bank has a sound HR policy and infrastructure, which ensures that the staff remain motivated,

adequately skilled, trained & updated continuously. The above measures significantly help mitigate Operational risk.

Over and above the above initiatives, the integrated Risk Management Dept at Corporate office has a separate Operational Risk Management Cell, which manages Operational risk.

8. Financial Statements in the Shelf Information Memorandum The financial statements and derived ratios there from contained in the Shelf Information Memorandum are prepared/computed as per the permissible accounting practices. While due care has been taken to reflect the true economic reality regarding the financials of the Bank as far as possible, the investors may want to make their own adjustments to the same before arriving at an investment decision in the offer. MP: The financial statements and the derived ratios have been prepared in conformity to the extant guidelines and the same have been compiled from the published audited Final Accounts of the Bank for the respective years ended on March 31, (last such being Year ended March 31,2004) duly certified by the auditors of the Bank. The last published Final Accounts of the Bank for the year ended March 31,2004 alongwith Auditors’ Report have been reproduced elsewhere in this shelf Information Memorandum. 10. Banking is a heavily regulated industry and material changes in the regulations, which govern us could cause our business to suffer Banks in India are subject to detailed supervision and regulation by the RBI. Banks are in general subject to the risk of changes in Indian law, changes in regulations and government policies as well as changes in accounting principles. The laws and regulations governing the banking sector could change in the future and any such changes could adversely affect our business, our future financial performance and our shareholders’ funds, by requiring a restructuring of our activities, increasing costs or otherwise. The directed lending norms of the RBI require that every bank should extend 40% of its net bank credit to certain eligible sectors, such as agriculture, smallscale industries and housing finance up to certain limits, which are categorised as “priority sectors”. The bank may experience a significant increase in non performing loans in its directed lending portfolio, particularly loans to the agriculture sector and smallscale industries, since economic difficulties are likely to affect those borrowers more severely and the bank would be less able to control the quality of this portfolio. There are a number of restrictions under the BR Act, which impede our operating flexibility and affect investors’ rights. These include the following:


a. Section 15(1) of the BR Act, states that “no banking company shall pay any dividend on its shares until all its capitalised expenses (including preliminary expenses, organisation expenses, share-selling commission, brokerage, amounts of losses incurred and any other item of expenditure not represented by tangible assets) have been completely written off.” Recently, RBI vide its circular no. DBOD.NO.BP.BC.80/ 21.02.067/2003-04 dated April 23, 2004 has revised the guidelines for payment of dividend by shifting regulatory focus with regard to payment of dividend by banks from ‘quantum of dividend’ to ‘dividend payout ratio’. Only those banks, which comply with the minimum prudential requirements in terms of the circular would be eligible to declare dividends without prior approval of RBI.

b. Section 12(2) of the BR Act, states that “no person holding shares in a banking company shall exercise voting rights on poll in excess of 10% of the total voting rights of all the shareholders of the banking company”.

The forms of business in which our subsidiaries and we may engage are specified and regulated by the BR Act. Pursuant to the provisions of section 8 of the BR Act, we cannot directly or indirectly deal in the buying, selling or bartering of goods by ourselves or for others, except in connection with the realisation of security given to us or held by us, or in connection with bills of exchange received for collection or negotiation, or in connection with the administration of estates as executor, trustee or otherwise, or in connection with any business specified under section 6(1)(o) of the BR Act. Goods for this purpose means every kind of movable property, other than actionable claims, stocks, shares, money, bullion and specie and all instruments referred to in section 6(1)(a) of the BR Act. Unlike a company incorporated under the Act which may amend the objects clause of its Memorandum to commence a new business activity, banking companies may only carry on business activities permitted by Section 6 of the BR Act or specifically permitted by the RBI. This may restrict our ability to pursue profitable business opportunities as they arise.

c. Section 17(1) of the BR Act requires every banking company to create a Reserve Fund and out of the balance of the profit of each year as disclosed in the profit & loss account transfer a sum equivalent to not less than 20% of such profit before paying any dividend.

d. Section 19 of the BR Act restricts the opening of subsidiaries by banks, which may prevent us from exploiting emerging business opportunities. Similarly, section 23 of the BR Act contains certain restrictions on banking companies regarding the opening of new places of business and transfers of existing places of business, which may hamper our operational flexibility.

e. Section 25 of the BR Act requires each banking company to maintain assets in India equivalent to not less than 75% of its demand and time liabilities in India, which in turn may restrict us from building overseas asset portfolios and exploiting overseas business opportunities.

f. We are required to obtain approval of the RBI for the appointment and remuneration of our Chairman, Managing Director and other whole time Directors. We are also required to obtain approval of the RBI for the creation of floating charges for our borrowings, thereby hampering leverage.

IV. PARTICULARS OF THE ISSUE OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE The present issue of bonds is being made for augmenting the Tier-II Capital of the Bank for strengthening its Capital Adequacy and for enhancing the long-term resources of the Bank. The expenses of the present issue would also be met from the proceeds of the Issue. The Main Object Clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Bank enables it to undertake the activities for which the funds are being raised through the present issue and also the activities, which the Bank has been carrying on till date. The proceeds of this Issue after meeting all expenses of the Issue will be used by the Bank for its regular business activities. Capital Adequacy Position of the Bank The Capital Adequacy Ratio (“CAR”) of the Bank as on March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2004 was 12.75% and 12.73% respectively as against the RBI stipulation of 9.00%. Details of capital vis-à-vis risk weighted assets are as under:

Requirement of Enhancement of Capital The Bank expects to post a growth in business in the years to come. As a result, Risk weighted assets of the Bank are also expected to increase over the years. Increase in Tier I capital through retained earnings alone may not be sufficient to enable the Bank to maintain an adequate capital adequacy ratio. In view of the likely expansion of loan assets, the Bank proposes to augment its capital base in order to sustain a healthy CAR. The Bank came out with a public issue of equity shares in November 1997, details of which are given elsewhere in the Shelf Information Memorandum. The Bank has also raised Tier II Capital by way of Private Placement of unsecured, redeemable bonds in the nature of Promissory Notes/ Debentures to augment capital adequacy as under:

Investment Strategy

The Bank earned total income on investments by way of interest earnings of Rs.237.75 Crs for the 9 months ended December 31, 2004. The average return on investments works out to 5.81% as against 7.77% in the last year The yield was lower due to bank’s investment strategy to shorten the portfolio duration by parking 48.32% of investments in Treasury Bills.

Profit on sale of investments was Rs.35.78 Crs for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 as against Rs.201.06 Crs for the nine months ended in the previous year. The decline in profits is owing to hardening interest rate scenerio and is line with industry performance. •

Investment Strategy for 2004-05

Keeping in view the hardening interest rate scenerio, RBI relaxed the norm on shifting of securities to HTM. Accordingly, the Bank shifted a major portion of its AFS portfolio to HTM category of investments thereby protecting the yield whilst insulating the portfolio against depreciation.

ASSET CLASSIFICATION, INCOME RECOGNITION & PROVISIONING Asset Classification The Bank classifies its assets in compliance with RBI guidelines. Under these guidelines, an asset is classified as non-performing if any amount of interest/principal remains overdue for more than 90 days in respect of term loans. In respect of overdraft/ cash credit, an asset is classified as non-performing if the account remains out of order for a period of 90 days and in respect of bills, if the account remains overdue for more than 90 days. In case of retail assets, the Bank classifies an asset as non-performing where any amount of interest/ principal remains past due for more than 90 days, in respect of all loans other than home loans. NPAs are further categorized into three groups i.e. Substandard, Doubtful and Loss Asset depending upon the period of delinquency and availability of tangible security. The table below gives the criteria for asset classification viz. standard, sub-standard, doubtful and loss asset-

Category Classification 1. Performing

Standard Assets An Asset which has not posed any problem and which does not carry more than the normal business risk

2. Non-Performing a) Sub-Standard Assets An asset which has been non-performing for a period less than or equal to eighteen months b) Doubtful Assets An asset, which has been non-performing for a period exceeding eighteen months c) Loss Assets Asset where loss has been identified by the Bank or auditors/ RBI. The value of security is less

than 10%

For this purpose, all advances are segregated into performing assets (standard assets) and non-performing assets. A borrower account is classified as Non Performing Assets (NPA) when interest and/or installment is due for more than 90 days. Borrower accounts treated as NPA for not exceeding 1½ year are classified as sub standard assets and borrower accounts treated as NPA for more than 1½ year are treated as doubtful assets. NPAs where securities are less than 10% and which are considered as irrecoverable are treated as loss assets. When an account is classified as NPA, interest already debited to the account but not realised, is de-recognised and further interest accrued is collected on cash basis. Provisioning and Write-Offs As per RBI guidelines, provisions are arrived on all outstanding NPAs, as under:

Sub-Standard Assets 10% of the outstanding Doubtful Assets 20% or 30% or 50% of the secured portion based on the number of years the account remained

as "Doubtful Asset" (i.e. up to one year, one to three years and more than three years respectively) and at 100% of the unsecured portion of the outstanding after netting retainable or realisable amount of the guarantee claims already received/lodged with DICGC/ECGC, if any

Loss Assets 100% of the outstanding after netting retainable amount of the guarantee claims already received/lodged with DICGC/ECGC, if any

Standard Assets A general provision of 0.25%

ALM Policy of the Bank 1. Objectives of the ALM Policy

(A) Liquidity Risk Management - Provide adequate liquidity to the Bank by pro-actively managing maturity mismatches between assets and liabilities within

the manageable levels. - Ensure that the current and potential demands for funds are supported by cash and liquid assets. - Maintain adequate liquidity under all circumstances. The possible requirements of liquidity are measured keeping in view: - Need to replace the net outflow of funds – Funding Risk - Need to compensate for non-receipt of expected inflows – Time Risk. - Need to meet contingent liabilities when they become due – Call Risk.


(B) Interest Rate Risk Management - Proper pricing of assets and liabilities - Portfolio review of both assets and liabilities - Regular review of interest rate outlook - Keep the level of interest rate risk within the manageable levels - Maximisation of net interest margin - Application of various techniques like Gap Analysis, Net Income Simulation Duration Analysis, Behavioral Analysis, etc.

(C) Foreign Exchange Risk Management

Measurement and Control of Foreign Exchange Risk through appropriate limit structure and other risk management tools.

(D) Profit Planning Budgeting, strategic planning and monitoring of net profit, interest rate and other balance sheet ratios.

2. Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) comprising of Top officials of the Bank monitors the following:

- Liquidity Risks & Interest Rate Risks - Profit planning and growth projection - Interest rate forecasting and movement of interest rates - Ensuring adherence to the prescribed tolerance limits - Deciding the business strategy of the Bank in line with the budgeted growth - Decisions on sources of funds mix of liabilities and their maturity profiles - Product pricing of both assets and liabilities. - Set up framework for `Transfer Pricing’ of Assets and Liabilities to evaluate profitability of business units of the Bank. - Monitor activities of the Bank’s treasury and lay down broad return objectives and set targets to monitor performance.

3. Market Risk Policy - The objective of this policy document is to lay down risk management policies for the Treasury operations of

the Bank. It serves to outline Bank’s risk appetite and risk philosophy in respect of Treasury, and the controls that are considered essential for the management of Treasury risks. The policy defines

− Risks and specify appropriate limits/controls; − Roles and responsibilities with clear segregation of duties; − Control policies; and − Outline the delegation of authority

Risk Monitoring and Exception Reporting Processes 4. Investment Policy – A detailed Investment Policy with operational guidelines and appropriate exposure limit structure in force.

5. Capital The capital position of the Bank at no time will be less than the required regulatory minimum. The Bank will strive to maintain a capital position necessary for its long-term financial health through earnings performance and the ability to issue Tier 2 subordinated debt. The Bank will attempt to enhance shareholder wealth by maximising value, improving the Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE).

6. Contingency plans under alternative scenarios Given the dynamic market condition, it will be the endeavor of the Bank to react positively to the conditions of certainty as also to conditions of uncertainty. Bank has drawn a contingency plan to meet any unforeseen eventualities.

ALM Strategy of the Bank ALM system of the Bank has been strengthened with full computerization. During the year 2003-04, the Bank could cover 100% of the Bank’s business under ALM.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO The RBI’s guidelines on Capital Adequacy Ratios (CAR) generally conform to the guidelines adopted by the Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices of the Bank of International Settlements (“BIS”). The RBI requires that assets, non-funded items and other off-balance sheet exposures are assigned weights according to prescribed risk weights and that each Bank must maintain capital levels equivalent to a prescribed ratio to such risk weighted assets. All financial ratios and capital adequacy ratios confirm to RBI norms. Capital For the purpose of calculating the CAR, capital of a Bank is divided into two classes i.e. Tier I capital and Tier II capital. Tier I capital, also known as core capital, represents amounts readily available to support the Bank against unexpected losses. Tier-I capital consists of paid up capital, statutory reserves and other disclosed free reserves. Tier-II capital comprises elements that are less permanent in nature and thus less readily available. Tier II capital consists of subordinated debt (with an minimum maturity of five years), undisclosed reserves, cumulative perpetual preference shares, revaluation reserves (to the extent of 45% of the total amount of revaluation reserves on the Bank’s book), general provisions and hybrid capital. The total capital for the calculation of CAR is the sum of Tier I capital and Tier II capital and is taken, with the condition that the Tier II capital should not exceed Tier I capital. RBI vide its circular dated October 31, 1998 prescribed that banks should achieve a minimum CAR of 9% with effect from the year ending March 31, 2000. Risk Weighted Assets Each class of assets of the Bank (including off-balance sheet assets) is assigned a risk weight (following certain norms laid down by RBI). The value of risk weighted assets for each class of assets is obtained by multiplying the amount of each asset class by its risk weight. The total risk weighted assets are obtained by summing up the individual risk weighted assets. An International Committee of Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices of the BIS released an agreed framework on international convergence of CAR for commercial Banks. The minimum CAR was set at 8%. The capital adequacy norms are to be enforced by the Banking Supervisory Authority of the respective country. RBI being the Central Bank of the country had issued guidelines and prescribed that Indian Banks should have minimum CAR of 9%.


Risk Management The Bank has an integrated Risk Management Dept responsible for Enterprise-wide risk management. The Risk Management Dept has been pro-actively managing risks across all business segments through Credit Risk Group, Market Risk Group (exchange risk, price risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk) and Operational Risk Group (including systems risk). Each group is assigned with specific responsibilities but at the same time the whole department functions in an integrated manner. The Bank has set for itself an ambitious goal of benchmarking its Risk Management practices with the international standards. Pursuing that objective, the Bank had engaged ‘KPMG Consulting’ to assist in establishment of Enterprise-wide Risk Management framework, covering various risks across all functional streams. KPMG benchmarked our existing Risk Management practices against regulatory requirements as well as International best practices. Under the project, several far-reaching initiatives have been undertaken. These measures have enabled the Bank to put in place risk identification, measurement, monitoring mechanisms. The Bank has acquired and implemented robust Credit Rating & Appraisal Models (from CRISIL). Bank has acquired a state-of-the-art Treasury system, OPICS from Misys London, which is in the final stage of implementation. Bank has enhanced its Asset–Liability Management capabilities by acquiring upgraded ALM system. The present risk management infrastructure enables the Bank to effectively manage substantially higher business volumes with the desired risk return trade off.

Most of the above-mentioned initiatives have already been implemented and the rest are under implementation. These initiatives will help creation of sophisticated and pro-active Risk Management framework in the Bank and shall also help adoption Basel II norms. The Bank plans to leverage the advanced Risk Management architecture to reduce the volatility in earnings and enhance shareholder value. Internal Control System and the Adequacy The bank has put in place a strong system for internal control by designing appropriate operational manuals and guidelines. The bank also has put in place back office framework through the support of appropriate technology systems, to ensure highest standards of customer service and the product delivery, whilst ensuring full compliance with internal and regulatory guidelines. The bank is following the best practices with in the legal/Regulatory framework. The bank has been awarded quality certification ISO 9001: 2000 making it the first among the Indian Commercial banks to achieve such certification for all its branches.

Notes : 1 There has been no material change in the accounting policies adopted during the nine months ended December

31, 2004 to those followed for the year ended March 31, 2004. 2 The working results for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 have been arrived at after considering provision

for income-tax, non-performing assets (NPAs), depreciation on investments and other necessary provisions on an estimated basis.

3 Government securities with a book value of Rs.807.25 crores were transferred in September 2004 from Available for Sale (AFS) category to Held to Maturity (HTM) category at a value of Rs.754.78 crores in accordance with Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.

4 The unaudited results for the quarter/nine months ended December 31, 2004 include results of operations of the erstwhile Ashok Leyland Finance Ltd (ALFL) for the said quarter/nine months and accordingly are not comparable with those of the corresponding quarter/nine months of the previous year.

5 RBI has granted permission to the Bank to draw down reserves to the tune of Rs. 290.61 crores for provisioning and write-off of NPAs. Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2004, the Bank had utilised Rs. 275.91 crores for additional write-off of NPAs below the line after arriving at the net profit for the year. The accounting treatment for the same was qualified by the auditors of the Bank. This has no impact on the networth of the Bank and the nine months results disclosed above.

6 Non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of claims' include properties being acquired in satisfaction of debts of Rs. 31.91 crores (year ended March 31, 2004 Rs 31.91 crores) in respect of which the Bank has entered into MOUs / settlement agreements.

7 The above financial results for the quarter/nine months ended December 31, 2004 which were subjected to "Limited Review" by the Auditors of the Bank, were reviewed by the Audit Committee and subsequently have been taken on record by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on January 28, 2005.

8 There were no unresolved investor complaints at the beginning of the quarter. Further, during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Bank received 530 investor complaints. All the complaints have been suitably disposed of.
