Qualitative Disclosure:

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is one of the key reforms adopted by RBI to develop a more resilient banking sector.

LCR indicates the bank's ability to meet proportion of the Bank's liquidity needs under a 30 day stress period as assessed based on regulatory guidelines with the High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) maintained by the Bank. As per the regulatory guidelines, Banks are required to maintain minimum LCR at 100% i.e. maintain HQLA of a minimum 100% for Net Cash Outflows as assessed based on the regulatory guidelines.

The Bank has implemented robust process to compute and report the LCR in line with regulatory guidelines and is monitored at consolidated level. Further, the Bank also monitors its liquidity requirements in USD.

The Bank segregates its deposits into various customer segments, viz. Retail (which include deposits from individuals), Small Business Customers (those with deposits up to ' 7.5 crore) and Wholesale Customers to determine the cash outflows for LCR. Within Wholesale, deposits on account of Operational activity by the customers through clearing, custody, and cash management services of the Bank are classified as Operational Deposits. Non-Operational Deposits from wholesale customers are further segregated within Non-Financial Corporates and Others to compute the corresponding Cash Outflow for LCR. The Bank also includes other contractual funding including a portion of other liabilities which are expected to run down in a 30-day time frame in the cash outflows. These classifications, based on regulatory guidelines, are part of the Bank's LCR framework. Expected derivative cash outflows and inflows from outstanding contracts are considered for computation of Net Cash Outflow. The Bank considers the other expected inflows in next 30 days as prescribed in the regulatory guidelines to compute the Net Cash Outflows for LCR.

HQLA maintained by the Bank primarily comprises of cash reserves in excess of required CRR, Government Securities i.e., Treasury Bills, dated securities issued by the Central & State Government along with eligible Corporate Bonds & Commercial Papers that qualify as Level 2 HQLA.

Qualitative Disclosure:

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) proposed reforms to strengthen global capital and liquidity regulations with the objective of promoting a more resilient banking sector in the backdrop of global financial crisis in 2007. Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was one of the important reform proposed in order to ensure resilience of the Banks over a longer term and stable liabilities to fund their business activities. NSFR was subsequently prescribed by the RBI to enhance resilience of the Indian Banking system.

NSFR ensures that the bank has sufficient stable funding available to fulfill the funding requirements by restricting the reliance on unstable short-term funding to finance potentially illiquid long-term assets. NSFR reduces long-term refinancing risk over longer-term time horizon (over 1 year) of the Bank by measuring the extent of stable sources of funds with the Bank to fund its long term assets.

Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is defined as amount of Available Stable Funding (ASF) to fulfil the amount of Required Stable Funding (RSF).

s Available stable funding (ASF) is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over 1 year period. The amount of available stable funding is a function of the source and type of liability along with residual maturities of the various liabilities.

s Required stable funding (RSF) is defined as the funding required for assets and off-balance sheet exposures over 1 year period. The amount of required stable funding is a function of the underlying liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets.

NSFR was implemented w.e.f. October 01, 2021 by the RBI with stipulation of minimum NSFR maintenance at 100%.

The Bank has implemented robust process to compute and report the NSFR in line with regulatory guidelines and is monitored at consolidated level. The Bank endeavors to meet the NSFR requirement and adequacy of NSFR remains a conscious strategy of the Bank. The Bank has placed stringent threshold as risk appetite for maintenance of NSFR to maintain sufficient liquidity and compliance to NSFR on an ongoing basis.

The Board of Directors of the Bank have empowered Asset Liability Management Committee i.e. ALCO (Top Management Executive Committee) to monitor and strategize the Balance Sheet profile of the Bank within overall Board approved Strategic and Risk framework.
