LCR is the ratio of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) to Net Cash Outflows over the next 30 calendar
days. The liquidity management is centralised with treasury with active interactions between the Bank''s Business Units.
LCR measures the Bank''s ability to manage and survive under combined idiosyncratic and market-wide liquidity stress
condition that would result in accelerated withdrawal of deposits from retail as well wholesale depositors, partial loss
of secured funding, increase in collateral requirements, unscheduled draw down of unused credit lines, etc. These stress
conditions are captured as a part of the Net Cash Outflows. HQLA of the Bank consist of cash, unencumbered excess SLR,
a portion of statutory SLR as allowed under the guidelines and cash balance with RBI in excess of statutory cash reserve
requirements.

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 MD & CEO, Chairman of the Board and other independent directors. 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.

entrusted with the responsibility of liquidity management within the Bank under the guidance of the ALCO. ALM Risk unit
independently measures, monitors & reports Liquidity Risk as per the Regulatory and internal guidelines.

LCR aims to ensure that the Bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered HQLA to meet its liquidity needs for a 30

maintain the NSFR on an ongoing basis. The minimum NSFR requirement set out in the RBI guideline is 100%.

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 considered by
the NSFR, which extends to 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.

Available Stable Funding -

An increase in available stable funding will impact the NSFR positively. The Bank shall aim for higher available stable funding,
which in the form of deposits, and will increase the long-term funding of the Bank. The Bank has been focusing on retail
deposits albeit reducing reliance on bulk deposits.

of the investment portfolio of banks, which became applicable from April 01, 2024. While hitherto the investment portfolio was

in a principle-based classification of investment portfolio and a symmetric treatment of fair value gains and losses. In accordance
with the revised norms and the Bank''s Board approved policy, the Bank has classified its investment portfolio as on April 01,2024,
under the categories of Held To Maturity (HTM) , Available For Sale (AFS), Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) and Held For
Trading (HFT) as a sub category of FVTPL, and from that date, measures and values the investment portfolio under the revised
framework. On transition to the framework on April 01, 2024, the Bank has recognised a net gain of '' 3.59 ('' 2.68 - net of tax) as
General Reserve in accordance with the said norms. The impact of the revised framework for the previous period (FY 2023-24) is not

34 Consequent to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian government announced a lockdown in March

2020. Subsequently, the national lockdown was lifted by the government, but regional post COVID 19 restrictions continue to be implemented in areas with a significant number of COVID-19 cases. India had experienced a "second wave" of the COVID-19 pandemic in Apr-May 2021 following the discovery of mutual variant , leading to the re-imposition of regional lockdowns. These were gradually lifited as the Second wave subsided. The impact of COVID-19, including changes in customer behaviour and pandemic fears, as well as restrictions on business and individual activities, has led to significant volatility in global and Indian financial markets and a significant decrease in global and local economic activities. The disruptions following the outbreak, impacted loan originations and the efficiency in collection efforts resulting in increase in the number of customer defaults and consequently an increase in provisions there against.

India is emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which any new wave of COVID-19 will impact the Bank''s operations and financial results will depend on ongoing as well as future developments, including, among other things, any new information concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any action to contain its spread or mitigate its impact whether government- mandated or elected by the Bank.
