b) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) standard has been introduced with the objective that a Bank maintains an adequate level of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HOLAs) that can be converted into cash to meet its liquidity needs for a 30-calendar day time horizon under a significantly severe liquidity stress scenario.
Minimum requirement of LCR as stipulated by RBI is 100% for the calendar year 2019 onwards. RBI has mandated the management of LCR at solo and consolidated level.
HOLA comprises Level 1 assets (0% hair-cut), Level 2A assets (l5% hair-cut) and Level 2B assets (50% hair-cut). Level 1 assets comprising cash, excess CRR, excess SLR securities, Government securities to the extent allowed by RBI under Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) [2% of the Bank's Net Demand & Time Liabilities (NDTL)] and Facility to Avail Liquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio (FALLCR) [16% of the Bank's NDTL]. Level 2A assets comprises sovereign guaranteed marketable securities, corporate bonds or commercial papers which are rated AA- and better, issued other than by non-financial institutions.
Expected net cash outflows under stress are the weighted sum of outflows minus inflows in the next 30 days. The inflows are taken with pre-defined hair¬ cuts and the outflows are taken at pre-defined run off factors. Funding from retail and small business customers carries lower run-off factor as compared to wholesale funding.
Composition of HOLA: The Bank during the three months ended 31st March 2025 maintained average HOLA of '3,20,508.13 crore. Level 1 assets contribute to 99.07% of the total stock of HOLA. Facility to avail Liquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio constitutes the highest portion to HOLA i.e., around 64.40% of the total HOLA. Level 2 assets which are lower in quality as compared to Level 1 assets, constitute 0.93% of the total stock of HOLA against maximum permissible level of 40%.
Funding Profile: Unsecured wholesale funding constitutes major portion of total weighted cash outflow. Retail deposits and deposits from small business customers put together contributed around 20.54% of the total weighted cash outflows. Deposits from non-financial corporates, sovereigns, central
banks, multilateral development banks and PSEs contributed around 32.42% of the total weighted cash outflows. Bank's exposure is majorly in Indian Rupee.
LCR of the Bank: Bank has maintained LCR well above the minimum regulatory level on an ongoing basis. Historical trend of Consolidated LCR of the Bank is as follows:
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 the form of SLR investments over and above the mandatory requirements. The Bank has consistently kept a healthy funding profile with a major portion of funding through deposits. Retail deposits constitute major portion of total funding sources which are well diversified. In addition to daily / monthly LCR reporting, Bank also monitors the liquidity position through various regulatory statements viz. Structural Liquidity Statement and Stock Ratios. Derivative exposures are considered insignificant due to almost matching inflows and outflows position. During the quarter, LCR for USD (significant foreign currency constituting more than 5% of the balance sheet of the Bank was 137.77% on average.
Liquidity Management in the Bank is driven by the ALM Policy of the Bank and regulatory prescriptions. The ALCO has been empowered by the Bank's Board to formulate the Bank's funding strategies to ensure that the funding sources are well diversified and is consistent with the operational requirements of the Bank. Adequate Contingency Funding Plan is also in place, which is reviewed on periodic basis to ensure the availability of funds to meet any stressed liquidity event. Monitoring of liquidity is centralized at Risk Management Wing, Head Office and managed centrally at Integrated Treasury Wing, Head Office.
The following table summarizes the average of unweighted and weighted value of the LCR components for the 4th quarter of FY 2024-25. The simple average has been computed based on daily values for the three months of quarter.

The Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE) and Annual Earnings are computed before Interest and Depreciation (EBID) for each borrower entity. UFCE is arrived at first by calculating the gross foreign currency exposure of the entity and then deducting the extent of hedge by way of derivative contract and natural hedge on account of cash flow from operations (of the entity). The extent of potential loss to the entity will be calculated by multiplying the UFCE with Largest Annualised Volatilities (LAV) seen in USD / INR rates during the last ten year period. In case of Overseas Branches / Subsidiaries; potential loss due to UFCE shall be computed by replacing INR with the domestic currency of that jurisdiction and USD with the foreign currency (i.e., currency other than domestic currency of that jurisdiction) in which the entity has maximum exposure. Potential loss on account of exchange rate movements are compared with annual EBID (Earnings Before Interest & Depreciation) and expressed as a percentage of EBID i.e., Potential loss / EBID percentage. As a prudential measure, Bank is holding incremental capital and make incremental provisioning (over and above the extant standard assets provisioning) on the total credit exposure to such entities at the specified rates.
