The Board of Directors of
the Bank has, pursuant to an independent enquiry, taken action against the former Managing Director and CEO. In the event the Bank is
found by any of the enquiries in the matter by government and regulatory agencies to have violated applicable laws or regulations, the
Bank could become subject to legal and regulatory sanctions that may materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial
condition and reputation.
In fiscal
2019, the Audit Committee under direction given by the Board of Directors of the Bank had instituted an independent enquiry to consider
various allegations relating to the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Chanda Kochhar. The enquiry was supported
by an external counsel and a forensic firm. The allegations levelled against Ms. Kochhar included nepotism, quid pro quo and claims that
Ms. Kochhar, by not disclosing conflicts of interest caused by certain transactions between certain borrowers of the Bank and entities
controlled by Ms. Kochhar’s spouse, committed infractions under applicable regulations and the Bank’s Code of Conduct. While
the enquiry was underway, the Board accepted Ms. Kochhar’s request for early retirement, while noting that the enquiry would remain
unaffected by this and certain benefits would be subject to the outcome of the enquiry. Subsequently, on consideration of the enquiry
report and its conclusions, the Board of Directors decided to treat the separation of Ms. Chanda Kochhar from the Bank as a ‘Termination
for Cause’ under the Bank’s internal policies, schemes and the Code of Conduct, with all attendant consequences.
In January
2020, the Bank instituted a recovery suit against Ms. Kochhar for, among other things, the clawback of bonus paid from April 2009 to
March 2018. Ms. Kochhar also filed a suit before Bombay High Court in January 2022 contending that her employment termination is invalid
and she is entitled to all the Employee Stock Options, which were originally allocated to her. An alternative prayer for claiming, damages
of Rs. 17.3 billion is sought by her. Both these suits are under trial and being heard by the single bench of Bombay High Court. A Special
Leave Petition was filed by Ms. Kochhar challenging the order passed by Bombay High Court was dismissed by Supreme Court on December
8, 2023.
The Securities
and Exchange Board of India issued a show-cause notice to Ms. Kochhar and to the Bank in 2018 in relation to the allegations. In November
2020, the Securities and Exchange Board of India issued a modified show cause notice to the Bank and responses were submitted by the
Bank. In fiscal 2023, pursuant to the Securities Appellate Tribunal order the Securities and Exchange Board of India sought documents
and materials in relation to the adjudication proceedings from the Bank, which were then submitted by the Bank.
Authorities
such as the Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate and Income-tax authorities are also probing the matter. In the event
that the Bank is found by Securities and Exchange Board of India or the Central Bureau of Investigation or by any other authority or
agency to have violated applicable laws or regulations, the Bank could become subject to legal and regulatory sanctions that may materially
and adversely affect our reputation and may impact results of operations or financial condition.
| 3. | Management’s
Analysis of Financial Position, Operating Results and Statement of Cash Flows |
The following
discussion is based on our unaudited standalone financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2023.
Profit
after tax increased from Rs. 144.63 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to Rs. 199.09 billion in the six months ended
September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in net interest income, an increase in fee income and a decrease in provisions and contingencies,
offset, in part, by an increase in operating expenditure.
Net interest
income increased by 30.5% from Rs. 279.97 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to Rs. 365.35 billion in the six months
ended September 30, 2023 due to an increase in net interest margin by 49 basis points to 4.65% and an increase of 17.2% in the average
volume of interest-earning assets.
Fee income
increased by 15.2% from Rs. 87.23 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to Rs. 100.47 billion in the six months ended September
30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in payment and cards fees, income from forex and derivatives products and lending linked fees.
Non-interest
expense increased by 23.2% from Rs. 157.27 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to Rs. 193.78 billion in the six months

from treasury-related activities increased from a loss of Rs. 0.49 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to a gain of Rs.
1.67 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to a gain on government securities and other fixed income positions.
Provisions
and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) decreased by 32.7% from Rs. 27.88 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022
to Rs. 18.75 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2023. The provision coverage ratio was 82.6% at September 30, 2023 as compared
to 80.6% at September 30, 2022.
The income
tax expense increased from Rs. 47.38 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to Rs. 65.84 billion in the six months ended
September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in profit before taxes. The effective tax rate increased from 24.7% in the six months
ended September 30, 2022 to 24.9% in the six months ended September 30, 2023.

Net interest
income increased by 30.5% from Rs. 279.97 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to Rs. 365.35 billion in the six months
ended September 30, 2023 due to an increase in net interest margin by 49 basis points to 4.65% and an increase of 17.2% in the average
volume of interest-earning assets.
Net
Interest Margin
Net interest
margin increased by 49 basis points from 4.16% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 4.65% in the six months ended September
30, 2023. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 130 basis points from 7.39% in the six months ended September 30,
2022 to 8.69% in the six months ended September 30, 2023. The cost of funds increased by 96 basis points from 3.73% in the six months
ended September 30, 2022 to 4.69% in the six months ended September 30, 2023. The interest spread increased by 34 basis points from 3.66%
in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 4.00% in the six months ended September 30, 2023.
The net
interest margin of domestic operations increased by 44 basis points from 4.30% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 4.74% in
the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in yield on interest-earning assets, offset, in part, by an increase
in cost of funds. The yield on domestic interest-earning assets increased by 120 basis points from 7.56% in the six months ended September
30, 2022 to 8.76% in the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due an increase in yield on average advances and investments and
an increase in proportion of average advances. The cost of domestic funds increased by 90 basis points from 3.78% in the six months ended
September 30, 2022 to 4.68% in the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in cost of term deposits.
The net
interest margin of overseas branches increased by 86 basis points from 0.42% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 1.28% in the
six months ended September 30, 2023.
The yield
on average interest-earning assets increased by 130 basis points from 7.39% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 8.69% in the
six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the following factors:
| • | The
yield on average interest-earning assets increased mainly due to an increase in yield on
advances and investments and an increase in proportion of average advances. |
| • | The
yield on domestic average advances increased from 8.68% in the six months ended September
30, 2022 to 9.93% in the six months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to repricing
of existing floating rate loans and incremental lending at higher rates on account of significant
increase in repurchase rates. Of the total domestic advances, interest rates on approximately
50% of domestic advances are linked to external benchmarks and interest rates on approximately
18% are linked to the marginal cost of funds based lending rate. Reserve Bank of India raised
the repurchase rates by 250 basis points from 4.00% in May 2022 to 6.50% in February 2023.
The impact of increase in repurchase rates from May 2022 started reflecting in the increase
in overall yield through repricing of repurchase and treasury bills linked portfolio from
the three months ended September 30, 2022 and onwards. |
The yield on overseas advances
increased by 407 basis points from 2.62% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 6.69% in the six months ended September 30, 2023
primarily due to repricing of floating rate/maturing advances on account of the rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The overall yield on average
advances increased by 145 basis points from 8.38% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 9.83% in the six months ended September
30, 2023.
| • | The
yield on average interest-earning investments increased by 93 basis points from 6.23% in
the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 7.16% in the six months ended September 30, 2023.
|
The yield on investment in Indian
government securities increased by 83 basis points from 6.32% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 7.15% in the six months ended
September 30, 2023 primarily due to reset of floating rate bonds linked to treasury bills at higher rates pursuant to a significant increase
in treasury bill rates and new investment in government securities at higher market yields. The yield on investment in non-government
securities increased by 166 basis points from 5.57% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 7.23% in the six months ended September
30, 2023 due to an increase in yield on bonds and debentures, foreign government securities, commercial paper and pass through certificates.
| • | The
yield on other interest-earning assets decreased by 65 basis points from 3.56% in the six
months ended September 30, 2022 to 2.91% in the six months ended September 30, 2023. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in income on funding swaps, a decrease in average
short-term placements (liquidity adjustment facility) with Reserve Bank of India and an increase
in average balance with Reserve Bank of India, which does not earn any interest. During the
six months ended September 30, 2022, Reserve Bank of India had increased the cash reserve
ratio from 4.00% to 4.50%. The decrease in yield was, offset, in part, by an increase in
yield on call money lent and an increase in yield on balance with other banks. |
| • | Interest
on income tax refund decreased from Rs. 1.07 billion in the six months ended September 30,
2022 to Rs. 0.93 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2023. The receipt, amount
and timing of such income depends on the nature and timing of determinations by tax authorities
and are neither consistent nor predictable. |
The cost of
funds increased by 96 basis points from 3.73% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 4.69% in the six months ended September 30,
2023 primarily due to the following factors:
| • | The
cost of average deposits increased by 92 basis points from 3.51% in the six months ended
September 30, 2022 to 4.43% in the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an
increase in cost of domestic term deposits. The peak rate for retail term deposits increased
significantly from 5.75% in May 2022 to 7.10% in February 2023 in phases during the year
ended March 31, 2023 on account of significant increase in repurchase rate by the Reserve
Bank of India. |
The cost of savings account
deposits increased marginally by 1 basis point from 3.16% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 3.17% in the six months ended
September 30, 2023.
The average current account
and savings account deposits as a percentage of total deposits decreased from 45.4% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to 41.7%
in the six months ended September 30, 2023.
| • | The
cost of borrowings increased by 134 basis points from 5.50% in the six months ended September
30, 2022 to 6.84% in the six months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase
in cost of refinance borrowings, call money borrowings and inter-bank participatory certificates,
offset, in part, by a decrease in proportion of average bond borrowings. |
Our yield
on advances, interest earned, net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by systemic liquidity, the competitive environment,
level of additions to non-performing loans, regulatory developments, monetary policy and the economic and geopolitical factors.
Differential
movement in the external benchmark rates vis-a-vis our cost of funds may impact our interest earned, yield on advances, interest expended,
net interest income and net interest margin.

Liabilities
Average interest-bearing
liabilities increased by 16.4% from Rs. 11,617.71 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 to Rs. 13,519.17 billion in the

Provision for non-performing
and other assets was Rs. 8.42 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to a write-back of Rs. 5.30 billion in the
six months ended September 30, 2022. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, there were higher net additions to non-performing

billion on a prudent basis. The Bank held contingency provision of Rs. 131.00 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2023.
Restructured
Loans and Non-performing Loans
We classify
our loans as performing and non-performing in accordance with Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Under Reserve Bank of India guidelines,
a loan is generally classified as non-performing if any amount of interest or principal remains overdue for more than 90 days, in respect
of term loans. In respect of overdraft or cash credit, a loan 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. Reserve Bank of India guidelines
also require a loan to be classified as non-performing based on certain other criteria like restructuring of a loan, inability of a borrower
to complete a project funded by us within stipulated timelines and certain other non-financial parameters. In respect of borrowers where
loans and advances made by overseas branches are identified as impaired as per host country regulations for reasons other than record
of recovery, but which are standard as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines, the amount outstanding in the host country is classified
as non-performing.
The Reserve
Bank of India has separate guidelines for restructured loans. As per these guidelines, loans restructured are classified as non-performing
loans. However, loans granted for implementation of projects that are restructured due to a delay in implementation of the project (up
to a specified period) enjoy forbearance in loans classification subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions stipulated by the Reserve
Bank of India. The Reserve Bank of India has issued guidelines for restructuring of loans to micro and small enterprises borrowers while
continuing loans classification as standard, subject to specified conditions. Further, Reserve Bank of India through its guideline on
‘Resolution Framework for COVID-19 related Stress’ dated August 6, 2020 and May 5, 2021, has provided a prudential framework
to implement a resolution plan in respect of eligible corporate borrowers and personal loans, while classifying such exposures as standard,
subject to specified conditions. For such loans, the diminution in the fair value of the loan, if any, measured in present value terms,
has to be provided for in addition to the provisions applicable to non-performing loans.

(1) Legal
and Regulatory Proceedings
There has been no material change
since the last ASR filed on September 27, 2023 for fiscal 2023, except for the following:
A number
of litigations and claims against ICICI Bank and its directors are pending in various forums. The claims on ICICI Bank mainly arise in
connection with civil cases involving allegations of service deficiencies, property or labor disputes, fraudulent transactions, economic
offences and other cases filed in the normal course of business. We are also subject to counterclaims arising in connection with our
enforcement of contracts and loans. A provision is created where an unfavorable outcome is deemed probable and in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. In view of the inherent unpredictability of litigation and for cases where the claim amount sought is
substantial, the actual cost of resolving litigations may be substantially different from the provision made.
We had a
total provision of Rs. 895 million at September 30, 2023 for 676 cases with claims totaling to Rs. 2.3 billion, where an unfavorable
outcome was deemed probable and in respect of which a reliable estimate could be made.
For cases
where an unfavorable outcome is deemed to be reasonably possible but not probable, the amount of claims is included in contingent liabilities.
At September 30, 2023, such claims amounted to a total of Rs. 3.9 billion relating to 48 cases. It was not possible to estimate the possible
loss or range of possible losses for these cases due to the nature of the cases and other external factors. For cases where the possibility
of an unfavorable outcome is deemed remote, we do not make a provision, nor do we include the amount of the claims in these cases in
contingent liabilities.
In some
instances, civil litigants have named our directors as co-defendants in legal proceedings against ICICI Bank. There were 405 such cases
at September 30, 2023. Management believes, based on consultation with counsel, that the claims and counterclaims filed against us in
the above legal proceedings that are assessed as remote are frivolous and untenable and their ultimate resolution will not have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Based on a review of other litigations by Legal Group,
management believes that the outcome of such other matters will also not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
At September
30, 2023, there were 143 ongoing litigations (including those where the likelihood of our incurring liability is assessed as ‘probable’,
‘possible’ and ‘remote’), each involving a claim of Rs. 10 million or more against us, with an aggregate amount
of Rs. 779.1 billion (to the extent quantifiable and including amounts claimed jointly and severally from us and other parties).
Contingent
Tax Liability
At September
30, 2023, our contingent tax liability was assessed at an aggregate of Rs. 81.7 billion, mainly pertaining to income tax, service tax,
goods and services tax and sales tax/value added tax demands by the Government of India’s tax authorities for past years. We have
appealed against each of these tax demands. Based on consultation with counsel and favorable decisions in our own and other similar cases
as set out below, management believes that the tax authorities are not likely to be able to substantiate their tax assessments and, accordingly,
we have not provided for these tax demands as at September 30, 2023. Disputed tax issues that are classified as remote are not disclosed
as contingent liabilities by us.
Of the contingent
tax liability of Rs. 81.7 billion:
| (1) | Rs. 74.0
billion related to appeals filed by us or the tax authorities with respect to assessments
mainly pertaining to income tax and interest tax, where we were relying on favorable precedent
decisions of the appellate authorities and opinions from counsel. The key disputed liabilities
were: |
| • | Rs.
28.4 billion related to whether interest expenses can be attributed to earning tax-exempt
income. We believe that no interest can be allocated as there are no borrowings earmarked
for investments in shares/tax free bonds and our interest free funds are sufficient to cover
investments in the underlying tax free securities. We have relied on favorable opinion from
counsel and past decisions by the appellate authorities in the Group’s own cases and
other similar cases; |
| • | Rs.
15.0 billion related to the disallowance of mark-to-market losses on derivative transactions
treated by the tax authorities as notional losses. We have relied on favorable opinion from
counsel and past decisions by the appellate authorities in the Group’s own cases and
other similar cases, which had allowed the deduction of mark-to-market losses from business
income; |
| • | Rs.
6.5 billion related to disallowance of provision for operating expense by the tax authorities
treating it as contingent in nature. We have relied on favorable opinion from counsel and
past decisions by the appellate authorities in other similar cases; |
| • | Rs.
6.9 billion related to the disallowance of interest paid on perpetual bonds as the tax authorities
do not deem these as borrowings and therefore the interest paid on these bonds has not been
allowed as a deduction. We have relied on a favorable opinion from legal counsel and past
decision by the appellate authorities in the Group’s own case; |
| • | Rs.
4.7 billion related to the disallowance of depreciation claims on leased assets, due to treatment
of the lease transactions as loan transactions by the tax authorities. We have relied on
favorable opinion from counsel and past decisions by the appellate authorities in the Group’s
own case and other similar cases; |
| • | Rs.
4.0 billion related to the disallowance of written-off amounts for credit cards for claiming
bad debt write-offs. It was disallowed on the ground that the credit card business is neither
a banking business nor pertaining to money lending and hence did not fulfill conditions for
claim of bad debt write-off. We have relied on a favorable opinion from counsel and past
decision by the appellate authorities in the Group’s own case; |
| • | Rs.
3.8 billion relates to interest on non-performing assets de-recognized as per the Reserve
Bank of India guidelines after 90 days. Interest income is assessed to tax on the ground
that tax provisions have 180 days limit as against 90 days followed by the Bank. We have
relied on favorable opinion from counsel and past decisions by the appellate authorities
in our own and other similar cases; |
| • | Rs.
1.0 billion related to taxability of amounts withdrawn from the special reserve. The Bank
had maintained two special reserve accounts, which included a special reserve created up
to assessment year fiscal 1998. Withdrawals from the account were assessed as taxable by
the tax authorities for the assessment years fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2001. We have received
favorable orders in respect of these assessment years. However, the income tax authorities
have preferred further appeal against the favorable orders; |
| (2) | Rs. 6.5
billion was in respect of service tax and goods and service tax matters which mainly pertain
to the demands along with interest and penalty levied by the service tax and goods and service
tax authorities wherein we are relying on favorable opinion from counsel. The key disputed
liabilities were: |
| • | Rs.
2.1 billion relates to disallowance of input credit on ATM interchange fees paid to acquiring
banks and switching fee paid to settlement agency on the basis of monthly statement and 100%
penalty on the same. We have relied on favorable opinion from counsel; |
| • | Rs.
1.5 billion relates to service tax and interest on interchange fees received by us as an
issuing bank. We have relied on favorable opinion from counsel; |
| (3) | Rs. 1.2
billion pertained to sales tax/value added tax demand. The matters mainly relate to procedural
issues like submission of statutory forms and adhoc additions in turnover. We have relied
on favorable opinions from the counsels and decisions in own/other cases. |
Based on
judicial precedents in our own and other cases, and upon consultation with the tax counsel, we believe that it is more likely that our
tax position will be sustained and accordingly, no provision has been made in the accounts.
The above
contingent liabilities do not include Rs. 31.9 billion of disputed tax demands, which are considered as remote. Of the total disputed
tax demands classified as remote, Rs. 27.5 billion pertained mainly to the deduction of bad debts, broken period interest and levy of
penalties which are covered by favorable Supreme Court of India decisions in own/other cases and Rs. 3.5 billion pertained to error requiring
rectification by tax authorities. Therefore, they were not required to be disclosed as contingent liability.
By an order
dated October 17, 2023, Reserve Bank of India has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs. 12.19 crore on the Bank for three specifically observed
acts/omissions leading to stated contravention of directions issued by Reserve Bank of India. The Bank has paid the penalty.
(2) Subsequent
Events
Not applicable.
| 3. | Major
Differences between United States and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices |
The financial
statements of the Bank for the year ended March 31, 2023 include notes describing the differences between accounting principles generally
accepted in India (“Indian GAAP”) and those in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and disclose net income
and stockholders’ equity under U.S. GAAP. The significant differences between the accounting policies under U.S. GAAP and Japanese
accounting principles are summarized below:
| (1) | Principles
of consolidation |
The Bank
consolidates entities in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, except the entities in which the
control does not rest with the Bank. The Bank also consolidates entities deemed to be variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Bank
is determined to be the primary beneficiary under ASC Subtopic, 810-10, “Consolidation – Overall”, “Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities”. Under U.S. GAAP, an entity is called a VIE if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit
the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that
cannot direct the activities of a legal entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or that do not
have an obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. Further, under
U.S. GAAP, when an entity loses control in its former subsidiary, that entity is required to derecognize assets and liabilities (along
with non-controlling interest) of the former subsidiary from consolidated financial statements and fair value its retained interest in
former subsidiary on the date of deconsolidation. Any difference between the fair value of retained interest in former subsidiary and
carrying value of assets and liabilities (along with non-controlling interest) of the former subsidiary is recognized as gain or loss
on deconsolidation in earning.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, concept of variable interest entities is not used to determine the scope of consolidation. In addition, if an
entity loses control of a former subsidiary and the former subsidiary becomes an associate, the difference between the interest and the
sale price is recorded as gain or loss on sale in the consolidated statement of income. The remaining interest is recorded as an equity
method investment in an affiliate. If a subsidiary ceases to be an affiliated company due to the sale of its shares, the difference between
the interest and the sale price is recorded as gain or loss on sale in the consolidated statement of income. Investments in the remaining
investee are valued at the carrying amount of the parent company's individual balance sheet.
| (2) | Venture
capital investments |
The Bank’s
venture capital funds carry their investments at fair value, with changes in fair value on venture capital investments recognized as
gain/loss in the profit and loss account under U.S. GAAP.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, there is no specific accounting standard for venture capital investments, and accounting for such investments
should follow general accounting standards for investments in securities.
| (3) | Fair
value accounting of financial instruments |
The Bank,
converted a portion of its loan to certain entities into equity as per strategic debt restructuring guidelines issued by the Reserve
Bank of India. Under U.S. GAAP, these entities were considered as equity affiliates under ASC subtopic 323-10 because of deemed significant
influence due to ownership interest and management rights. The Bank opted for fair value option of these equity affiliates under ASC
Topic 825 ‘Financial Instruments’. Accordingly, fair value changes in the loans, guarantees and investments were accounted
through income statement.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, fair value option for financial instruments such as above is not allowed.
The Bank
does not amortize goodwill but instead tests goodwill for impairment at least annually.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, goodwill arising from business combinations is required to be amortized systematically, over a period not exceeding
20 years. Also, goodwill is subject to an impairment testing.
Under U.S.
GAAP, loan origination fees (net of certain costs) are amortized over the period of the loans as an adjustment to the yield on the loan.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, there is no specific accounting standard for amortization of loan origination fees.
The Bank
has designated certain derivatives as fair value hedges. Under fair value hedge accounting, changes in fair value of derivatives are
recognized in the profit and loss account along with the changes in fair value of hedged items.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of both hedging items and hedging instruments are directly
recognized in equity, net of tax effect.
| (7) | Fair
Value Measurements |
Under U.S.
GAAP, ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value,
sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures for instruments carried at fair value.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, “Practical Guidelines Concerning Accounting for Financial Instruments” provides guidance on fair value
and “Practical Treatment for Measuring Fair Value of Financial Assets” has also been issued, but there were no specific standards
equivalent to U.S. GAAP for fair value measurement exist.
However,
from the beginning of the fiscal year starting on or after April 1, 2021, ASBJ Statement No. 30 "Accounting Standard for Calculation
of Fair Value" and ASBJ Guidance No. 31 "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Calculation of Fair Value" have been applied.
As a result, U.S. GAAP and Japanese GAAP have similar concepts of fair value, but Japanese GAAP covers financial instruments and inventories
held for trading purposes only. Equity securities and others for which market prices are not available shall be carried in the balance
sheet at the acquisition cost in accordance with conventional ASBJ Statement No. 10, "Accounting standards for financial instruments".
| (8) | Allowance
for impairment losses on available-for-sale debt securities |
Under U.S.
GAAP, ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” requires an entity to identify whether the decline in the
fair value below the amortized cost basis of the debt security has resulted from credit loss or other factors. Impairment allowance relating
to credit losses are to be recognized in earnings and the non-credit risk component in other comprehensive income. However, the allowance
should be limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. If an entity has the intent to sell the debt
security, or if it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized
cost basis, any allowance for credit losses shall be written off and the amortized cost basis shall be written down to the debt security’s
fair value at the reporting date with any incremental impairment reported in earnings.
In Japan,
impairment is not distinguished between the credit risk component and the non-credit risk component, and the entire amount of impairment
including the non-credit risk component is recognized as a loss.
| (9) | Accounting
for Equity Securities |
Under
U.S. GAAP, in accordance with ASC Topic 321-10-35 “Equity Securities – Subsequent Measurement”, equity securities are
subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet, and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. However,
equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured by electing either a) at fair value and the change is recognized
in earnings or b) measured at cost minus impairment plus/minus changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar
investment of the same issuer, and the adjustment is recognized in earnings.
In Japan,
equity securities are measured in accordance with their classification (trading securities, subsidiary and associates’ securities,
available-for-sale securities). The trading securities are marked-to-market through earnings. Investments in subsidiaries and associates’
securities are carried in the balance sheet at cost. Available-for-sale securities are marked-to- market with changes are recognized
through equity and losses may be recognized through earnings. Investment in subsidiary and associates’ securities as well as available-for-sale
securities are subject to impairment accounting.
In accordance
with ASC Topic 715 “Compensation – Retirement Benefit” under U.S. GAAP, net pension cost represents service cost, interest
cost, actual return on plan assets, amortization of prior service liability and others. Amortization of unrecognized gains and losses
(actuarial gains and losses, prior service cost) is included in net periodic benefit cost if, as of the beginning of the year, the net
actuarial gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) or the fair value of the plan
assets (“corridor approach”). Any differences between net pension cost charged against income and the amount actually funded
is recorded as accrued or prepaid pension cost.
In addition,
the difference between the plan assets and the PBO is recognized on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, and unrecognized gains
and losses which are not recognized in current net pension cost, net of tax effect, are recorded as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income. The difference between the plan assets recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and PBO is subsequently
amortized into net pension cost and recycled from accumulated other comprehensive income.
In Japan,
similar accounting treatment is also required for the accounting of unrecognized prior year service costs and actuarial gains or losses;
however, the corridor approach is not allowed.
| (11) | Post-retirement
Benefits other than pensions |
ASC Topic
715 also requires the recognition of costs related to post-retirement benefits on an accrual basis over the expected service period of
the employees rather than expensing such costs as incurred. In addition, unrecognized gains and losses which are not recognized in current
net benefit cost, net of tax effect, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
In Japan,
such plans are not commonly provided and therefore no specific accounting standards exist and such costs are expensed as incurred as
a practice.
| (12) | Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes |
ASC Topic
740, “Income Taxes” addresses the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in
income tax returns. Under the standard, the financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when it is more likely than
not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. The standard
also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure of uncertain
tax positions.
In Japan,
no accounting standard has been established for uncertainty in tax positions.
| (13) | Leases
(lessee’s accounting) |
Under U.S.
GAAP, in accordance with ASC Topic 842 – “Leases”, a right to use asset and a lease liability are required to be recognized
at the commencement of the lease for all leases and a single lease cost is recognized, which is calculated such that the cost of the
operating lease is allocated over the lease term generally on a straight line basis.
In Japan,
lease contracts are classified as finance lease and operating lease, and for a finance lease, lease assets and lease liability are recognized.
In addition, finance lease is accounted for in the same way as buy/ sell transaction, and operating lease transactions are accounted
for in the same way as rental transaction.
| (14) | Allowance
for expected credit losses |
Under U.S.
GAAP, in accordance with ASC Topic 326- Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses
on financial receivables are to be computed after considering the past and current available information, which would reflect current
estimation of all lifetime expected credit losses. An entity is required to measure lifetime expected credit losses of financial assets
on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristic(s) exist. If an entity determines that a financial asset does not share
similar risk characteristics with its other financial assets, the entity shall evaluate the financial asset for lifetime expected credit
losses on an individual basis. If a financial asset is evaluated on an individual basis, an entity also should not include it in a collective
evaluation. That is, financial assets should not be included in both collective assessments and individual assessments.
In Japan,
general and specific reserves are established for loan losses deemed to be uncollectible by management. General reserve for normal receivables
shall be estimated using reasonable criteria established in accordance with the condition of the receivables, such as the historical
credit loss percentage, either by regarding all receivables as a whole, or by classifying the receivables into subclasses or similar
receivables. Specific reserve applied to receivables that are individually identified as being uncollectible, are established based on
a solvency analysis of each borrower.
| 4. | Major
Differences between Indian and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices |
The financial
statements of the Bank are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India. The significant differences
between the accounting policies adopted by the Bank and Japanese accounting principles are summarized below:
| (1) | Principles
of consolidation |
Entities,
in which the Bank holds, directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries and other consolidating entities, more than 50.00% of the voting
rights or where it exercises control over the composition of board of directors/governing body to obtain economic benefit from their
activities, are fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis. Investments in entities where the Bank has the ability to exercise significant
influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the pro-rata share of their profit/(loss) is included in the consolidated
profit and loss account. Assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of jointly controlled entities are consolidated using the proportionate
consolidation method. Under this method, the Bank’s share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the jointly
controlled entity is reported in separate line items in the consolidated financial statements. The Bank does not consolidate entities
where the significant influence/control is intended to be temporary or entities which operate under severe long-term restrictions that
impair their ability to transfer funds to parent/investing entity.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, jointly controlled entities are treated as affiliate and accounted for using equity method accounting, when they
meet certain requirement, and there is no concept of proportionate consolidation method. Japanese accounting principle is silent about
consolidation of entities with lack of their ability to transfer funds to parents.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, on acquisition of control in investee company, which was earlier accounted as an equity affiliate, investment
in equity affiliate needs to be re-measured at fair value on acquisition date with resulting gain/loss accounted through profit and loss
account.
| (2) | Sale
of stake in subsidiary company |
Under Indian
GAAP, gain or loss on sale of equity stake in a subsidiary company is recognized in the income statement.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, when the parent’s control over a subsidiary continues, the difference between the amount of parent’s
share in the subsidiary pertaining to partial disposition and the sales proceeds is reflected in capital surplus, and not recognized
in the income statement.
The Bank
transfers commercial and consumer loans through securitization transactions. The transferred loans are de-recognized and gains/losses
are accounted, only if the Bank surrenders the rights to benefits specified in the underlying securitized loan contract. Recourse and
servicing obligations are accounted for net of provisions.
In accordance

the assets are sold. With effect from May 7, 2012, the Reserve Bank of India guidelines require the profit/premium arising from securitization
to be amortized based on the method prescribed in the guidelines. As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines issued on September 24,

Net loss arising on account of direct assignment of loan assets is recognized at the time of sale. As per the Reserve Bank of India
guidelines issued on September 24, 2021, any loss or realized gain from sale of loan assets through direct assignment is accounted through

with Reserve Bank of India guidelines, in case of non-performing/loans sold to asset reconstruction companies, the Bank reverses the
excess provision in profit and loss account in the year in which amounts are received. Any shortfall of sale value over the net book
value on sale of such assets is recognized by the Bank in the year in which the loan is sold.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, the transfer of loans is recognized as sales and the resulting gains or losses are recognized if de-recognition
requirements for financial assets under the financial component approach are met.
| (4) | Share-based
compensation |
Till March
31, 2021, the Bank recognized cost of stock options granted under Employee Stock Option Scheme, using intrinsic value method. Under intrinsic
value method, options cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price
on the grant date. The fair market price is the closing price on the stock exchange with highest trading volume of the underlying shares,
immediately prior to the grant date.
Pursuant
to Reserve Bank of India clarification dated August 30, 2021, the cost of stock options granted after March 31, 2021 is recognized based
on fair value method. The cost of stock options granted up to March 31, 2021 continues to be recognized on intrinsic value method.
The cost
of stock options is recognized in the profit and loss account over the vesting period.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, the intrinsic value based method is not used and the compensation expenses are accounted for based on the fair
value at the grant date.
Under Indian
GAAP, defined benefit plans are accounted for based on actuarial valuation with actuarial gains and losses recognized directly in the
profit and loss account.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, defined benefit plans are accounted for based on the actuarial calculations, with actuarial gains or losses being
amortized over a certain period of years within the average remaining service period.
| (6) | Mark-to-market
of securities |
The Bank
carries the held to maturity securities at the acquisition/amortized cost. The available for sale and held for trading securities are
valued scrip-wise. Depreciation/appreciation on securities, other than those acquired by way of conversion of outstanding loans, is aggregated
for each category. Net appreciation in each category under each investment classification, if any, being unrealized, is ignored, while
net depreciation is provided. The depreciation on securities acquired by way of conversion of outstanding loans is fully provided for.
Non-performing investments are identified based on the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. The unrealized gains and losses of the Bank’s
consolidated venture capital investments are transferred to Reserves and Surplus.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recognized in the profit and loss account. For available
for sale securities, unrealized gain is principally recorded to the equity section, but it is allowed to record unrealized losses in
the profit and loss account. Held to maturity securities are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Additionally, under Japanese accounting
principles, there is no specific accounting standard for venture capital investments, and accounting for such investments should follow
general accounting standards for investments in securities.
| (7) | Acquisition
costs of securities |
Costs including
brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition and broken period interest (the amount of interest
from the previous interest payment date till the date of purchase of instruments) on debt instruments, are charged to the profit and
loss account.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, brokerage and commission costs paid at acquisition are included in acquisition costs of securities.
| (8) | Provisions
for loan losses |
The Bank
classifies its loans and advances, including at overseas branches and over-dues arising from crystalized derivative contracts, into performing
and non-performing assets in accordance with Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Loans and advances held at the overseas branches that
are identified as impaired as per host country regulations, but which are standard as per extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines are
classified as non-performing assets to the extent of amount outstanding in the respective host country. Further, non-performing assets
are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by Reserve Bank of India. Interest on non-performing
advances is transferred to an interest suspense account and not recognized in profit and loss account until received.
The Bank
considers an account as restructured, where for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, the
Bank grants concessions to the borrower, that the Bank would not otherwise consider. The moratorium granted to the borrowers based on
Reserve Bank of India guidelines is not accounted as restructuring of loan. The Reserve Bank of India guidelines on ‘Resolution
Framework for COVID-19-related Stress’ provide a prudential framework for resolution plan of certain loans. The borrowers where
resolution plan was implemented under these guidelines are classified as standard restructured.
In the case
of corporate loans and advances, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets as per internal provisioning norms, subject
to minimum provisioning requirements of Reserve Bank of India. Loss assets and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are fully provided.
For impaired loans and advances held in overseas branches, which are performing as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines, provisions are
made as per the host country regulations. For loans and advances held in overseas branches, which are non-performing assets both as per
the Reserve Bank of India guidelines and host country guidelines, provisions are made at the higher of the provisions required as per
the internal provisioning norms and host country regulations. Provision on homogeneous non-performing retail loans and advances, subject
to minimum provisioning requirements of Reserve Bank of India, are made on the basis of the ageing of the loans. The specific provisions
on non-performing retail loans and advances held by the Bank are higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.
In respect
of non-retail loans reported as fraud to the Reserve Bank of India, the entire amount, is provided over a period not exceeding four quarters
starting from the quarter in which fraud has been detected. In respect of non-retail loans where there has been delay in reporting the
fraud to the Reserve Bank of India or which are classified as loss accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In case of fraud
in retail accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In respect of borrowers classified as non-cooperative borrowers or wilful
defaulters, the Bank makes accelerated provisions as per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines.
The Bank
holds specific provisions against non-performing loans and advances and against certain performing loans and advances in accordance with
the Reserve Bank of India directions.
The Bank
makes provision on restructured loans subject to minimum requirements as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Provision due to diminution
in the fair value of restructured/rescheduled loans and advances is made by the Bank in accordance with the applicable Reserve Bank of
India guidelines.
In terms
of Reserve Bank of India guideline, the non-performing assets are written-off in accordance with the Bank’s policy. Amounts recovered
against bad debts written-off are recognized in the profit and loss account.
The Bank
maintains general provision on performing loans and advances in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, including provisions
on loans to borrowers having unhedged foreign currency exposure, provisions on loans to specific borrowers in specific stressed sectors,
provision on exposures to step-down subsidiaries of Indian companies and provision on incremental exposure to borrowers identified as
per large exposure framework of Reserve Bank of India. For performing loans and advances in overseas branches, the general provision
is made at higher of aggregate provision required as per host country regulations and the Reserve Bank of India requirement.
In addition
to the provisions required to be held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for individual country exposures
including indirect country risk (other than for home country exposure). The countries are categorized into seven risk categories namely
insignificant, low, moderately low, moderate, moderately high, high and very high, and provisioning is made on exposures exceeding 180
days on a graded scale ranging from 0.25% to 25%. For exposures with contractual maturity of less than 180 days, provision is required
to be held at 25% of the rates applicable to exposures exceeding 180 days. The indirect exposure is reckoned at 50% of the exposure.
If the country exposure (net) of the Bank in respect of each country does not exceed 1% of the total funded assets, no provision is required
on such country exposure.
The Bank
makes additional provisions as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines for the cases where viable resolution plan has not been implemented
within the timelines prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India, from the date of default. These additional provisions are written-back
on satisfying the conditions for reversal as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines.
The Bank,
on prudent basis, has made contingency provision on certain loan portfolios, including borrowers who had taken moratorium at any time
during fiscal year 2021 under the extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines related to Covid-19 regulatory package. The Bank also makes
additional contingency provision on certain standard assets.
The Bank
has a Board approved policy for making floating provision, which is in addition to the specific and general provisions made by the Bank.
The floating provision can only be utilized with the approval of Board and Reserve Bank of India, in case of contingencies which do not
arise in the normal course of business and are exceptional and non-recurring in nature and for making specific provision for impaired
loans as per the requirement of extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines or any regulatory guidance/instructions.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, provision for loan losses in banks is established based on self-assessment and the historical loss ratio and outstanding
balance of each asset category. Alternatively, it is also permitted to be calculated based on the difference between the discounted future
cash flows using the original effective interest rate and the outstanding balance. The regulatory agency does not prescribe specific
rates to be used for calculation of provisions in banks.
Under Indian
GAAP, the swap contracts entered to hedge on-balance sheet assets and liabilities are structured in such a way that they bear an opposite
and offsetting impact with the underlying on-balance sheet items. The impact of such derivative instruments is correlated with the movement
of underlying assets and liabilities and accounted pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting. The Bank identifies the hedged item
(asset or liability) at the inception of the transaction itself. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of the inception of the
hedge and periodically thereafter. Based on Reserve Bank of India circular issued on June 26, 2019, the accounting of hedge relationships
established after June 26, 2019 is in accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The swaps under hedge relationships established prior to that date are accounted for on an accrual
basis and are not marked to market unless their underlying transaction is marked-to-market. Gains or losses arising from hedge ineffectiveness,
if any, are recognized in the profit and loss account.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, all derivatives are marked to market with unrealized gains and losses being deferred to the extent that the requirements
for hedge accounting are met.
Under Indian
GAAP, deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward losses are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization
of such assets.
Under Indian
GAAP, deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and affiliates are not recognized.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, deferred tax is recognized based on the schedule for reversal of temporary difference as a whole. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognized on part of undistributed profits of subsidiaries that are expected to be taxed upon payment as dividends.
Under Indian
GAAP, for the acquisitions approved by the Reserve Bank of India, the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value
of net assets acquired was treated in accordance with the approved scheme of merger whereby the difference was adjusted from reserves.
Under Japanese
accounting principles, business combinations are principally accounted for by the purchase method. The acquisition cost (fair value of
the consideration transferred at the date of business combination) is allocated based on the fair value of the identifiable assets and
identifiable liabilities, within the assets transferred and liabilities assumed. When there is a separately transferable asset such as
a legal right within the assets transferred, this intangible asset is treated as an identifiable asset. The excess of the acquisition
cost over the net of the identifiable assets and identifiable liabilities is accounted for as goodwill.
| (12) | Property,
Plant and Equipment |
Non-banking
assets acquired in satisfaction of claims are valued at the market value on a distress sale basis or value of loan, whichever is lower.
Further, the Bank creates provision on these assets as per the extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines or specific directions of the
Reverse Bank of India.
There is
no accounting principle ruling for assets acquired in satisfaction of claims under Japanese accounting principles.
