PART I. CORPORATE INFORMATION
I. | SUMMARY OF LEGAL AND OTHER SYSTEMS IN HOME COUNTRY |
There has been no material change in legal and other systems in India, since the last Annual Securities Report ("ASR") filed on September 27, 2019 for fiscal 2019, except for the following sections. All changes from the description appearing in the ASR are underlined in the sections below.
1. | Summary of Corporate Systems, etc. |
(1) | Corporate System of Country or State, etc. in which Filing Company has been Organized |
(d) | Shareholders |
(i) | Annual General Meeting - A company must convene its annual general meeting within 15 months of such previous meeting or within six months of the end of the previous fiscal year, whichever is earlier by service of notice to its shareholders. The notice must specify the statement of business to be transacted and be accompanied by the annual accounts of the company, the directors' report, auditors' report; together with an explanatory statement listing the details of interested parties to the proposed resolution/s. This notice can be served through electronic means as well, in which case the company must maintain a record of the communication. |
The following matters constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting:
• | consideration of financial statements, directors' report and the auditors' report; |
• | declaration of any dividend; |
• | appointment of directors in place of those retiring; and |
• | appointment and fixing of remuneration of the auditors. |
(ii) | Extraordinary General Meeting - The Board may call an extraordinary general meeting for transacting urgent business by serving a notice of not less than clear 21 days to the members. The notice period for extraordinary general meeting can be reduced with the consent of not less than 95% of members entitled to vote at such general meeting. |
(iii) | A Member who is entitled to attend and vote at a general meeting may appoint a proxy to represent himself. Such proxy however, is not entitled to speak at a meeting and can vote only on a poll. |
(iv) | The Companies Act, 2013 provides for a quorum of 30 members personally present (not by proxy) for a public company meeting which has total number of members more than 5,000 as on the date of the meeting. The quorum can be increased by the Articles. |
(v) | Resolutions passed by shareholders may be an ordinary resolution where the votes cast in favour of the resolution exceed the votes cast against the resolution by the shareholders. However, some matters are required by the Companies Act, 2013 to be passed by a special resolution, where the votes cast in favour are not less than three times the number of votes cast against the resolution. |
- 1 -
(vi) | Voting for companies having their equity shares listed on the stock exchange will be through electronic voting or ballot or polling paper. The voting rights of each member are in proportion to the share of the paid-up capital of the company held by such member on a cutoff date to be decided by the Company. Companies can also have resolutions put to vote by postal ballot subject to compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. |
Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India has powers, conferred by the Banking Regulation Act, to put a ceiling on voting rights in a banking company for a single shareholder. Further, the Companies Act, 2013 specifically exempts banks from the applicability of class action suits by its shareholders.
(j) | Disclosure of Ownership Interest |
Under the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014 read with the Companies Act, 2013, the registered members of the company and the 'beneficial owner' of shares in the company must disclose details of the beneficial ownership in the shares in a prescribed manner and within a prescribed time period. In the event of any change in the beneficial ownership of shares of the company, both the registered owner and beneficial owner of the shares must declare the details of such change to the company within 30 days of such change. The beneficial owner cannot by himself or through another person claim any right in respect of a share if a declaration is not made by him. The Companies (Significant Beneficial Owners) Rules, 2018 set out additional requirements in relation to significant beneficial owners. As per the recent Companies (Amendment) Act, 2019, every company is required to take necessary steps to identify an individual who is a significant beneficial owner in relation to the company and require him to comply with the provisions of the Act.
Takeover Code and Listing Regulations
(i) | Takeover Code: |
ICICI Bank is a listed company in India. The Securities Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 (the “Takeover Code”) will apply to the Bank and to any person acquiring shares or voting rights in the Bank. The Takeover Code has two primary features - the process and the disclosure requirements for the parties.
(1) Process: For the acquisition of 25% or more of the outstanding shares or voting rights of a publicly-listed Indian company (the “Target Company”), the acquirer (a person who directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights in, or control over a Target Company, either by himself or together with any person acting in concert) (the “Acquirer”) is required to make a public announcement offering to purchase at least a further 26% of all the outstanding equity shares of the company at a minimum offer price determined under the Takeover Code.
Further, no Acquirer having voting rights in the Target Company entitling him to exercise 25% or more of the voting rights in the Target Company but less than the maximum permissible non-public shareholding shall acquire within any financial year additional shares or voting rights in such Target Company entitling him to exercise more than 5% of the voting rights, unless the Acquirer makes a public announcement of an open offer for acquiring shares of such Target Company.
- 2 -
(2) Disclosure: Certain disclosures are required to be made to the Stock Exchanges and the Target Company by the Acquirer. All disclosures to the ‘Stock Exchanges’ are to such stock exchanges where the shares of the Target Company are listed; and those to the Target Company are at its registered office. Upon receipt of disclosures, the Stock Exchange(s) must forthwith disseminate the information. The disclosures must be made by all the participants in a takeover including the Target Company, the promoter of the Target Company, the Acquirer and persons acting in concert with the Acquirer.
The promoter of the Target Company must disclose the aggregate shareholding, voting rights and details of shares encumbered by the promoter and details of any invocation of such encumbrance or release of such encumbrance of shares within seven working days from the creation or invocation or release of encumbrance, as the case may be. Additionally, as per the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2019, the promoter of a target company is required to declare on a yearly basis that he, along with persons acting in concert, has not made any encumbrance, directly or indirectly, other than those already disclosed during the financial year. The Acquirer must disclose every acquisition made by it or persons acting in concert with him of any shares of the Target Company within two working days of the receipt of intimation of allotment of shares or acquisition.
A person when he, together with persons acting in concert with him, holds shares or voting rights entitling him to exercise 25% or more of the shares or voting rights in Target Company, must disclose the aggregate shareholding and voting rights in such Target Company, as of the thirty-first day of March, within seven working days from the end of the financial year.
The Acquirer (when he, together with persons acting in concert with him, acquires shares or voting rights aggregating to 5% or more of the shares or voting rights of such Target Company) must disclose the aggregate shareholding and voting rights in such Target Company within two working days of the receipt of intimation of allotment of shares or the acquisition of shares or voting rights in the Target Company.
Any person, when he, together with persons acting in concert with him, has previously acquired shares or voting rights exceeding 5% of the shares or voting rights in a target company must disclose any change in shareholding or voting rights exceeding 2% of total shareholding or voting rights in the target company from the date of his previous disclosure of shareholding or voting rights, within two working days of his intimation of the relevant change in shareholding or voting rights in the Target Company. Even a reduction in shareholding or voting rights (including one that reduces the shareholding or voting rights below 5%) has to be reported if it exceeds 2% of total shareholding of the Target Company.
Where the public shareholding in the Target Company exceeds the maximum permissible non-public shareholding, the Acquirer shall be required to bring down the non-public shareholding to the level specified and within the time permitted under Securities Contract (Regulation) Rules, 1957 or may get such shares delisted or make an offer for delisting only upon expiration of 12 months from date of completion of offer period and in accordance with the Securities Exchange Board of India (Delisting of equity shares) Regulations, 2009.
- 3 -
Effective from October 1, 2019, as per circular issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India on disclosure of reasons for encumbrance by promoter of listed companies, promoters of listed companies are required to specifically disclose detailed reasons for encumbrance, whenever the combined encumbrance by the promoters along with persons acting in concert equals or exceeds 50% of their shareholding in the company or 20% of the total share capital of the company. Such disclosures are required to be made on every occasion, when the extant encumbrance (having already breached the above thresholds) increases further from the prevailing level. These are in addition to the disclosures to be made by promoters under Regulation 31(1) of the Takeover Regulations.
(ii) | Listing Regulations: |
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) notified the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (Listing Regulations) effective December 1, 2015. The provisions of the listing agreements which were existing for equity, debt and other securities have now been consolidated into the Listing Regulations.
The Bank is listed on the ‘National Stock Exchange’ and the ‘Bombay Stock Exchange’, and has entered into listing agreements with these exchanges pursuant to the commencement of the listing regulations. The listing regulations provide for disclosure of shareholding pattern and certain material events or information respectively to the stock exchanges.
Our ADSs, each representing two equity shares, were originally issued in March 2000 in a public offering and are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol IBN. Our ADSs currently represent ten equity shares each. The equity shares underlying the ADSs are listed on the BSE and the NSE. The Bank, the Depositary and the holders of ADSs have entered into a Deposit Agreement and are bound by its terms. The Bank must also report the ‘Total Foreign Shareholding’ which is the sum of all foreign entities (whether exercising control or not), and includes ADSs.
Voting Rights of Deposited Equity Shares Represented by ADSs
ADS holders will have no voting rights with respect to the deposited equity shares. The depositary will exercise voting rights in respect of the deposited equity shares as directed by our Board of Directors. However, to the best of ICICI Bank’s belief and knowledge, the Reserve Bank of India has stipulated a ceiling on voting rights for a single shareholder in ICICI Bank, to the effect that no shareholder can, irrespective of any shares held by him, exercise more than 15.0% of the total voting power in ICICI Bank. As a result, the depositary, which owned approximately 22.3% of our equity shares as of September 30, 2019 can vote only for 15.0% of our equity shares. In addition, under the terms of our deposit agreement, the depository must vote these shares as directed by our Board of Directors. The depositary will not, under any circumstances, be obliged to exercise any discretion in relation to the exercise or non-exercise of voting rights. Equity shares can be withdrawn from the depositary facility and transferred on our register of shareholders to a person other than the depositary or its nominee. Such person being a member of the company can vote on the underlying shares against the depository receipts. However, ADS holders may not receive sufficient advance notice of shareholder meetings to enable them to withdraw the underlying equity shares and vote at such meetings.
- 4 -
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a person resident outside India were to withdraw their equity shares from the depositary facility, their investment in the equity shares would be subject to the general restrictions on foreign ownership noted under "- 2. Foreign Exchange Control System - (2) Restriction on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities".
The obligations of the depositary are set out in a deposit agreement among Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the ADS holders, and the Bank. The deposit agreement and the ADSs are governed by the laws of New York.

The following discussion is based on our unaudited standalone financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2019.
Our core operating profit increased by 22.4% from Rs. 103.27 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 126.43 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in net interest income and fee income, offset, in part, by an increase in non-interest expense.
Net interest income increased by 26.2% from Rs. 125.19 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 157.94 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting an increase of 13.7% in the average volume of interest-earning assets and increase in net interest margin by 37 basis points.

Non-interest expense increased by 21.0% from Rs. 84.70 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 102.52 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in employee expenses.

In the six months ended September 30, 2018, we made a gain (net of issue expenses) of Rs. 11.10 billion on sale of equity shares of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited through an offer for sale.
Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) decreased by 39.8% from Rs. 99.66 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 60.03 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in provision for advances. Provision for advances decreased from Rs. 88.66 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 49.90 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019. Provision for advances reduced in the six months ended September 30, 2019 reflecting lower additions to non-performing assets in fiscal 2019 and in the six months ended September 30, 2019 compared to previous years. The net non-performing asset ratio decreased from 3.65% at September 30, 2018 to 1.60% at September 30, 2019.

Profit after tax decreased by 27.9% from Rs. 9.09 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 6.55 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in tax expense and operating expenditure, offset, in part, by a decrease in provisions and contingencies and an increase in net interest income and fee income.

Net interest income increased by 26.2% from Rs. 125.19 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 157.95 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019, reflecting an increase of 13.7% in the average volume of interest-earning assets and an increase in net interest margin by 37 basis points.
Net Interest Margin
The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 63 basis points from 7.77% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 8.40% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The cost of funds increased by 21 basis points from 5.00% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 5.21% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The interest spread increased by 42 basis points from 2.77% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 3.19% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. Net interest margin increased by 37 basis points from 3.26% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 3.63% in the six months ended September 30, 2019.
- 12 -
The net interest margin of domestic operations increased by 29 basis points from 3.63% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 3.92% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 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 53 basis points from 8.26% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 8.79% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 due to an increase in yield on advances, yield on investments, interest on income tax refund and an increase in proportion of average advances in average interest-earning assets. The cost of domestic funds increased by 15 basis points from 5.22% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 5.37% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in cost of deposits, offset, in part, by a decrease in cost of borrowings.
The net interest margin of overseas branches increased by 19 basis points from 0.18% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 0.37% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in yield on interest-earning assets, offset, in part, by an increase in cost of funds. The net interest margin of overseas branches was positively impacted by capital infusion of US$ 1.19 billion during fiscal 2019. The yield on net advances increased by 17 basis points from 4.18% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 4.35% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to higher provisions made on non-performing advances during fiscal 2019. The cost of overseas funds increased by 17 basis points from 3.39% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 3.56% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in cost of borrowings.
The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 63 basis points from 7.77% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 8.40% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the following factors:
• | The yield on domestic advances increased by 61 basis points from 9.42% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 10.03% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The yield on overseas advances increased by 17 basis points from 4.18% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 4.35% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The overall yield on average advances increased by 69 basis points from 8.75% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 9.44% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in proportion of domestic advances in total advances. The yield on domestic advances increased primarily due to re-pricing of floating rate loans of existing customers at higher rates and incremental lending at higher rates due to an increase in the marginal cost of funds based lending rate. Our 1-year marginal cost of funds based lending rate increased by 50 basis points between April 2018 and December 2018 and decreased by 25 basis points between April 2019 and September 2019. |
- 13 -
• | The yield on average interest-earning investments increased by 26 basis points from 6.97% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 7.23% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The yield on statutory liquidity ratio investments increased by 8 basis points from 7.16% in in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 7.24% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in investment in government securities at higher yield. The yield on non-statutory liquidity ratio investments increased by 78 basis points from 6.39% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 7.17% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in yield on pass through certificates, bonds and debentures and mutual funds, offset, in part, by a decrease in yield on commercial papers. |
• | The yield on other interest-earning assets increased by 37 basis points from 2.96% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 3.33% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in interest on income-tax refund, offset, in part, by a decrease in yield on Rural Infrastructure and Development Fund and related deposits and an increase in average balance with the Reserve Bank of India. |
Interest on income tax refund increased from Rs. 0.13 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 2.26 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The receipt, amount and timing of such income depend on the nature and timing of determinations by tax authorities and are neither consistent nor predictable.
The yield on Rural Infrastructure and Development Fund and related deposits decreased by 22 basis points from 5.14% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 4.92% in the six months ended September 30, 2019.
The cost of funds increased by 21 basis points from 5.00% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 5.21% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the following factors:
• | The cost of average deposits increased by 28 basis points from 4.79% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 5.07% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in cost of domestic term deposits on account of an increase in retail term deposit rates on select maturities during fiscal 2019 and a decrease in the proportion of average current account and savings account deposits in total deposits. The cost of average domestic term deposits increased by 24 basis points from 6.62% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 6.86% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The average current account and savings account deposits as a percentage of total deposits decreased from 46.6% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 42.8% in the six months ended September 30, 2019. |
We increased retail term deposits rates on select maturities in phases during fiscal 2019. The peak rate for retail term deposits increased from 6.75% to 7.50% during fiscal 2019. During the six months ended September 30, 2019, the peak rate for retail term deposits decreased from 7.50% to 7.00%.
• | The cost of borrowings increased by 11 basis points from 5.64% in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to 5.75% in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in proportion of domestic borrowings in total borrowings, offset, in part, by a decrease in interest expense on funding swaps. |
- 14 -
Our yield on advances, interest income, net interest income and net interest margin are likely to continue to be impacted by recoveries from non-performing assets, systemic liquidity, the competitive environment and regulatory developments. The timing and quantum of recoveries and interest on income tax refund is uncertain. While we expect continued growth in current account and savings account deposits, the stronger growth in retail term deposits is likely to result in some decline in the proportion of average current account and savings account deposits in total average deposits.
In September 2019, the Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines, requiring banks to link all new floating rate personal or retail loans (housing, auto, etc.) and floating rate loans to micro and small enterprises to external benchmarks effective from October 1, 2019. The permitted benchmarks include the Reserve Bank of India policy repo rate, Government of India three months and six months treasury bill yield or any other benchmark market interest rate. Further, banks are free to offer such external benchmark linked loans to other types of borrowers as well. The interest rates linked to external benchmarks shall be reset at least once in three months. Linking the interest rates on advances to external benchmark rates while our funding remains primarily on fixed basis, may impact our interest income, yield on advances, net interest income and net interest margin.
Interest-Earning Assets
Average interest-earning assets increased by 13.7% from Rs. 7,657.07 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 8,705.95 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest-Bearing Liabilities
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 15.3% from Rs. 6,911.24 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 7,968.88 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 due to an increase in average deposits by Rs. 1,124.36 billion and a decrease in average borrowings by Rs. 66.72 billion.
- 15 -
Average deposits increased by 21.5% from Rs. 5,225.75 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 6,350.11 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 due to an increase in average term deposits by Rs. 841.59 billion and average current account and savings account deposits by Rs. 282.77 billion.
Average borrowings decreased by 4.0% from Rs. 1,685.49 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 1,618.77 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in bond borrowings, term money borrowings and borrowings under collateralized lending and borrowing obligations, offset, in part, by an increase in refinance borrowings.

Employee expenses increased by 29.0% from Rs. 31.75 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 40.95 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to annual increments and promotions, an increase in average staff strength, provision for retirement benefit obligations due to movement in discount rates linked to yield on government securities and half yearly dearness allowance for pension obligation and provision for performance bonus and performance-linked retention pay.
Depreciation
Depreciation on fixed assets increased by 18.0% from Rs. 3.79 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 4.48 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019.
- 18 -
Other Administrative Expenses
Other administrative expenses primarily include rent, taxes and lighting, advertisement, sales promotion, repairs and maintenance, direct marketing expenses and other expenditure. Other administrative expenses increased by 16.2% from Rs. 49.15 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 57.10 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in other administrative expenses primarily reflects an increase in retail business volume and opening of new branch networks during the six months ended September 30, 2019. Number of branches increased from 4,867 at September 30, 2018 to 5,228 at September 30, 2019 (at March 31, 2019: 4,874).
We use marketing agents, called direct marketing agents or associates, for sourcing retail loan customers, in addition to our branch network and in-house sales teams. We include commissions paid to these marketing agents in non-interest expense. In line with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, these commissions are expensed upfront and not amortized over the life of the loan. Direct marketing agency expenses increased from Rs. 7.27 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 8.69 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to higher retail disbursements of mortgage and unsecured retail products.

Total provisions and contingencies | Rs. 99,655.8 |
Rs. 60,026.0 |
JPY 100,843.7 |
(39.8)% |
Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) decreased from Rs. 99.66 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 60.03 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in provision for advances.
Provision for advances decreased from Rs. 88.66 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 49.90 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019. Provisions reduced in the six months ended September 30, 2019 reflecting lower additions to non-performing assets in fiscal 2019 and in the six months ended September 30, 2019 compared to previous years. During fiscal 2018, the Reserve Bank of India had advised banks to initiate an insolvency resolution process under the provisions of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 for certain specific accounts. Banks were required to make provision at 40% on the secured portion and 100% on the unsecured portion of the loan, or provision as per extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines on asset classification norms, whichever was higher at March 31, 2018. Banks were required to further increase the provision on the secured portion of the loan to 50.0% at June 30, 2018. During the six months ended September 30, 2018, we made the provision on these accounts as per the April 2018 guidelines of the Reserve bank of India.
- 19 -
Provision for investments decreased from Rs. 5.13 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 2.27 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in provision on equity shares and write-back of provision on preference shares, offset, in part, by an increase in provision on debentures.
Provision for standard assets increased from Rs. 1.63 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2018 to Rs. 2.09 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019. The cumulative general provision held at September 30, 2019 was Rs. 30.92 billion (September 30, 2018: Rs. 28.01 billion).
Other provisions in the six months ended September 30, 2019 primarily includes provision against non-banking assets acquired under debt asset swap transactions of Rs. 6.49 billion. Other provisions in the six months ended September 30, 2018 primarily included provision on non-fund based exposures.
Restructured Loans and Non-performing Assets
We classify our assets as performing and non-performing in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Under the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, an asset 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, 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, an asset is classified as non-performing if the account remains overdue for more than 90 days. The Reserve Bank of India guidelines also require an asset 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 the 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 classification of loans for projects under implementation which are based on the date of commencement of commercial production and date of completion of the project as originally envisaged at the time of financial closure. For infrastructure projects, a loan is classified as non-performing if it fails to commence commercial operations within two years from the documented date of commencement and for non-infrastructure projects, the loan is classified as non-performing if it fails to commence operations within 12 months from the documented date of such commencement.
The Reserve Bank of India also has separate guidelines for restructured loans. Up to March 31, 2015, a fully secured standard asset could be restructured by re-scheduling of principal repayments and/or the interest element, but had to be separately disclosed as a restructured asset. The diminution in the fair value of the restructured loan, if any, measured in present value terms, was either written off or a provision was made to the extent of the diminution involved. Similar guidelines applied for restructuring of sub-standard loans. Loans restructured after April 1, 2015 (excluding loans given for implementation of projects in the infrastructure sector and non-infrastructure sector and which are delayed up to a specified period) by re-scheduling of principal repayments and/or the interest element are classified as non-performing. 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.

The Indian corporate sector experienced several challenges from fiscal 2012, which led to lower than projected cash flows for the corporates and the progress in reducing leverage in the corporate sector remained slow. The Reserve Bank of India initiated several measures from fiscal 2016 to accelerate recognition and increase provisioning towards stressed accounts in the corporate sector. As a result, there was a significant increase in the level of additions to non-performing loans, including slippages from restructured loans into non-performing status for the banking sector, including us, from fiscal 2016. In fiscal 2018, the Reserve Bank of India introduced a new framework for the resolution of stressed assets and withdrew the existing schemes for resolution, resulting in accelerated classification of assets under the resolution schemes of the Reserve Bank of India as non-performing during the year.
Subsequently, a revised prudential framework for resolution of stressed assets was announced which retained the withdrawal status of schemes for resolution and required higher provisions for specific resolutions. While additions to non-performing assets of the banking sector, including us, moderated during fiscal 2019, provisions made by banks, including us, continued to be elevated, as banks continued to make additional provisions on their existing portfolios of non-performing loans. During fiscal 2019, challenges emerged for non-banking financial companies and housing finance companies following a default by a large non-banking financial company involved primarily in the infrastructure sector. This resulted in tightening liquidity conditions and increase in yields on the debt of non-banking financial companies and housing finance companies, leading to funding and growth challenges. Further, challenges emerged in certain sectors and borrower groups, such as real estate developers, and borrower groups that had borrowed against their shareholding in listed group companies and faced refinancing challenges.

The Reserve Bank of India had issued guidelines permitting banks to refinance long-term project loans to infrastructure and other core industries at periodic intervals (5/25 scheme) without such refinancing being considered as restructuring.

On September 20, 2019, the President of India promulgated Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 ("Ordinance") which introduced a new section 115BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961, giving a one-time option to domestic companies to avail a concessional tax rate of 25.168% (including surcharge and cess) without availing certain exemptions and incentive as specified in the Ordinance. Prior to the Ordinance, the applicable tax rate was 34.944%. We have decided to exercise the option of lower tax rate available under section 115BAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 with effect from fiscal 2020. Accordingly, we have recognized the provision for income tax in the six months ended September 30, 2019 and re-measured the accumulated deferred tax asset at March 31, 2019 based on the rate prescribed under Section 115BAA. The resultant impact has been taken through the profit and loss account. The re-measurement of accumulated deferred tax asset has resulted in a one-time additional charge of Rs. 29.20 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2019.

(1) | Legal and Regulatory Proceedings |
- 44 -
There has been no material change in legal and other systems in India, since the last ASR filed on September 27, 2019 for fiscal 2019, except for the following sections.
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 held.
We held a total provision of Rs. 511 million at September 30, 2019 for 360 cases with claims totaling to approximately Rs. 1.3 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, 2019, such claims amounted to a total of Rs. 1.1 billion relating to 107 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 have not made a provision, nor have we included the amount of the claims in these cases in contingent liabilities.
In some instances, civil litigants have named our directors as co-defendants in lawsuits against ICICI Bank. There were 244 such cases at September 30, 2019.
Management believes, based on consultation with counsel, that the claims and counterclaims filed against us in the above legal proceedings 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 with legal counsel, 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, 2019, there were 85 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, with an aggregate amount of approximately Rs. 811.6 billion (to the extent quantifiable and including amounts claimed jointly and severally from us and other parties). The following are 10 litigations where the amounts claimed are Rs. 1.0 billion or higher:
• | The promoters and promoter group entities of Kingfisher Airlines Limited have filed a suit in the Bombay High Court against 19 lenders who had provided credit facilities to Kingfisher Airlines Limited seeking to declare void the corporate guarantee given by one of the entities to the lenders and restrain the lenders from acting in furtherance of the corporate guarantee as well as a personal guarantee of the promoter and invocation of pledge of shares held by the lenders, and claiming damages of Rs. 32.0 billion from the lenders towards sums invested by the promoter group in Kingfisher Airlines Limited. The |
- 45 -
Bombay High Court has not granted any interim relief restraining lenders from acting in furtherance of the invocation of pledge. ICICI Bank had assigned its exposure to Kingfisher Airlines Limited to a third party in September 2012 and thereby ceased to be a lender to the company. The cause of action for the suit arose subsequent to that date, and the securities mentioned in the suit were not securities held by ICICI Bank even when it was a lender to the company. Consequently, ICICI Bank believes the suit against it is not maintainable and has filed its written statement. The matter is pending before the court.
• | A guarantor for a loan to a borrower, Esslon Synthetics Limited, which has since been wound up had filed a counter-claim for an amount of Rs. 1.0 billion against ICICI Bank following a claim by ICICI Bank against him in his capacity as guarantor. He has claimed that he had been coerced by ICICI Bank to sign facility and security documents. Pleadings have been completed and the matter is listed for final arguments on August 17, 2019. On the basis of the pleadings of the parties, it appears that the chances of the counter claim against ICICI Bank succeeding are remote. |
• | UIC Udyog Limited filed a suit jointly against State Bank of India, ICICI Bank limited and Industrial Development Bank of India claiming compensation for loss of business, goodwill, etc. for allegedly refusing to infuse funds in line with the agreement arrived at pursuant to restructuring of the existing facilities. The matter is being contested on merits on the grounds that the borrower failed to comply with the terms and conditions as recorded in the minutes of the Joint Meetings held by the Consortium Lenders between the years 2014 to 2016 and as also recorded in the restructuring documents leading to the accounts of the Borrower being classified as non-performing asset. State Bank of India has also filed a corporate insolvency regulation process application against UIC Udyog Limited before the National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata which is listed for hearing on September 4, 2019. In case the application is admitted and the corporate insolvency regulation process is initiated, all legal proceedings initiated against UIC Udyog Limited shall be in abeyance till the completion of such corporate insolvency regulation process. Based on the above, the assessment of liability in respect of the claim which amounts to Rs. 5.3 billion has been classified as remote. |
• | Pursuant to invocation of the corporate guarantee of Essar Energy Limited in relation to Essar Power Jharkhand Limited and initiation of winding up action by ICICI Bank in UK, Essar Energy Limited filed a suit against ICICI Bank in the Bombay High Court for a claim amount of Rs. 42.3 billion. At the first hearing, pursuant to arguments, Essar Energy Limited agreed that it shall not presently press for any interim reliefs and agreed to give sufficient notice to ICICI Bank before pursuing any interim relief. ICICI Bank has filed its written statement in the matter in line with procedural requirements. Essar Energy Limited has not pressed for any interim relief as on date. The matter has not been listed for any further hearing. The chances of the claim against ICICI Bank being successful are remote. |

• | ICICI Bank had extended credit facilities to Shrenuj & Company Limited. However, the borrower along with the guarantors/promoters defaulted on the amounts due. The Bank subsequently filed an original application for recovery of claims amounting to Rs. 1.6 billion plus applicable interest and expenses. The Bank also filed an interim application for appointment of a Court Receiver to take possession of the movables charged to the Bank in the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Mumbai in June 2016. The Tribunal vide its ex-parte order dated June 15, 2016 appointed an employee of ICICI Bank as Court Receiver to take physical possession of the movables available across various premises of the borrower in Mumbai. The Court Receiver and other officers of ICICI Bank duly took possession of the movable assets situated at different places. In the interim, ICICI Bank sold the loan assets of the borrower to an asset reconstruction company, JM Financial Asset Reconstruction Company Limited. Accordingly, the asset reconstruction company was duly substituted in place of ICICI Bank in the original application. In January 2018, the borrower and guarantors/ promoters filed interim applications under the original application against ICICI Bank as proposed defendant. The applications for impleading the Bank in the counter claim applications are pending and hence the Bank is not a party to the Original Applications. Further, ICICI Bank has an arguable case on merits. No concrete facts have been pleaded by the applicants justifying their entitlements to the claims/damages of Rs. 73.6 billion sought under the applications. Hence the liability is categorized as remote. |
• | ICICI Bank Limited (DIFC Branch) initiated recovery proceedings before Sharjah Courts against Universal Lubricants Factory (Zinol) LLC and a guarantor, Mr. Ibrahim Ahmed Ali. While the recovery proceedings are ongoing, the borrower and guarantor have filed a counter claim for an amount of AED 451 million against ICICI Bank Limited (DIFC Branch) with various allegations to the effect that ICICI Bank’s actions resulted in the borrower’s business stopping and performance declining. The Bank filed its reply citing the relevant contractual positions and that ICICI Bank cannot be held liable for the loss of profits of the borrower as the amounts committed by ICICI Bank were disbursed to the Borrower and the allegations by the claimant are baseless. Hence, the chances of claim amounting to Rs. 8.7 billion against the Bank succeeding are remote. |
• | Punj Lloyd, a borrower has filed a counter-claim in the Debt Recovery Tribunal, New Delhi where ICICI Bank has filed an original application for recovery of its dues contending that ICICI Bank failed and neglected to render timely assistance to the borrower despite them requesting ICICI Bank on several occasions for the issuance of performance bank guarantees, bid bonds and advance bank guarantees. Their allegation in the counter claim is that non- issuance of the bank guarantees and bid bonds has led to the borrower losing several projects. However, the chances of claim amounting to Rs. 6.5 billion against the Bank succeeding are remote. |

• | Bhushan Power and Steel Limited had availed an external commercial borrowing facility from ICICI Bank (Bahrain branch) in fiscal 2012 and rupee term loan from ICICI Bank in fiscal 2015. The aforesaid facilities were secured inter alia by personal guarantee of Mr. Sanjay Singhal and Ms. Arti Singhal. On account of default by Bhushan Power Steel Limited and in order to recover its dues, ICICI Bank initiated proceedings against the guarantors Mr. Sanjay Singhal and Ms. Aarti Singhal for recovery. The guarantors filed their reply along with counter claim for an amount of Rs. 629.0 billion along with interest on account of alleged loss of profitability, loss of business opportunities, damages qua loss of reputation and direct commercial loss. ICICI Bank has already filed its rejoinder-cum-reply to the written statement-cum-counter claim filed by the guarantors. On the basis of the pleadings of the parties, it appears that the chances of the counter claim against ICICI Bank Limited succeeding are remote. |
• | ICICI Bank had sanctioned rupee term loan to DS Kulkarni Developers Limited and DS Kulkarni & Co. ICICI Home Finance Company Limited, a subsidiary of ICICI Bank, had also sanctioned a rupee term loan of DS Kulkarni Developers Limited. DS Kulkarni Developers Limited had, inter alia, mortgaged a property to secure the aforesaid assistances. ICICI Home Finance Company Limited issued the no objection certificate permitting the sale of the aforementioned property to Sanghvi Combines, subject to payment of Rs. 500 million into the escrow account. ICICI Bank was neither requested to nor did it issue a no objection certificate. Post dated cheques of Rs. 500 million were issued by Sanghvi Combines to ICICI Home Finance Company Limited. The no objection certificate was subsequently revoked and the cheques were encashed by ICICI Home Finance Company Limited. Title deeds of the aforementioned property were not handed over to Sanghvi Combines, since the no objection certificate was revoked and ICICI Bank never permitted the sale. On April 5, 2019, Sanghvi Combines filed a special civil suit inter alia against ICICI Bank for release of title deeds of the property and for damages of Rs. 4.0 billion. The Bank has filed its written statement and reply to injunction application, a decision on which is awaited. As per the opinion issued by the dealing advocate, the liability on ICICI Bank is categorized as ‘Remote’. |
• | In February 2019, ICICI Bank Limited, Hong Kong branch served a statutory demand notice on UIL Hong Kong Limited on account of unpaid dues. UIL Hong Kong Limited, after seeking several extensions to settle its dues, made cross claims against ICICI Bank for an amount of USD 41.4 million. Subsequently, UIL Hong Kong Limited filed a writ of summons against ICICI Bank before the Hong Kong courts for the cross claims against ICICI Bank seeking damages for breach of agreement, deceit, negligent misstatement/misrepresentation, unlawful means, conspiracy and repayment/restitution of certain amounts. ICICI Bank is contemplating filing an application to dismiss/challenge the writ of summons, or file its defence, as may be advised by its counsels. The claim has been classified as ‘Remote’. |

• | Certain investors of a real estate investment fund, registered in Mauritius, which is an investor in a real estate fund in India managed by ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ICICI Bank, have filed a petition in the Supreme Court of Mauritius against ICICI Venture Funds Management Company, the trustee and administrators of the fund and ICICI Bank alleging mis-selling and mismanagement of the Fund, and have claimed damages of U.S. $ 103.6 million. All the respondents to the petition, including ICICI Bank and its subsidiary, have denied and rebutted the allegations and countered the petition. The preliminary objections raised by the respondents with respect to jurisdiction, maintainability, procedural errors in the petition etc. are yet to be disposed of. In the same matter, ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited had received a notice from the Securities and Exchange Board of India which was subsequently settled on a ‘no admission and no denial basis’ in accordance with Securities and Exchange Board of India order dated November 29, 2019. |
We or our employees may be subject to regulatory investigations or enforcement proceedings in multiple jurisdictions in a variety of contexts. We have also experienced international expansion into banking in multiple jurisdictions which exposes us to a variety of regulatory and business challenges and risks, including cross-cultural risk, and which increased the complexity of our risks in a number of areas including currency risks, interest rate risks, compliance risk, regulatory risk, reputational risk and operational risk. Despite our best efforts at regulatory compliance and internal controls, we, or our employees, may from time to time, and as is common in the financial services industry, be the subject of confidential enquiries, examinations or investigations that might, or might not, lead to proceedings against us or our employees. In any such situation it is our policy to conduct an internal enquiry, co-operate with the regulatory authorities and, where appropriate, suspend or discipline employees, including terminating their services.

3. | Major Differences between United States and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices |
The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended March 31, 2019 include notes describing the differences between accounting principles generally accepted in India 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 FASB 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.
- 49 -
Under Japanese accounting principles, concept of variable interest entities is not used to determine the scope of consolidation.
(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 recognised 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.
(4) | Goodwill |
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.
(5) | Revenue recognition |
Under U.S. GAAP, by ASC Topic 606 an entity applies a five-step model to determine when to recognise revenue and what amount. Under this model, an entity recognises its revenue when (or as) an entity transfers goods or services to a customer, measured at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled.
Under Japanese accounting principles, revenue related to the sales of goods or rendering of services should be recognised in accordance with the realization principle.
- 50 -
In March 30, 2018, Accounting Standard Board of Japan (ASBJ) issued ASBJ Statement No.29 `Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” which intended to stipulate accounting and disclosure over revenue. The new standard is generally the same as the US GAAP’s ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from customer contracts”. The new standard will be adopted from the year beginning on or after April 1, 2021 but early adoption is permitted.
(6) | Loan origination fees |
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.
(7) | Hedge accounting |
The Bank has designated certain derivatives as fair value hedges. Under fair value hedge accounting, changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised 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 hedged items and hedging instruments are directly recognised in equity, net of tax effect.
(8) | 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 no specific standards equivalent to U.S. GAAP for fair value measurement exist.
(9) | Other than temporary impairment |
Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” requires other-than-temporary impairment losses for debt securities to be recognised in earnings 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. However, even if an entity does not expect to sell a debt security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell prior to recovery, the standard requires the entity to evaluate expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss exists and to recognise the credit risk component of other-than-temporary impairment loss of a debt security in earnings and the non-credit risk component in other comprehensive income.
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 recognised as a loss.
- 51 -
(10) | Measurement 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 unrealised 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 recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised through equity and losses may be recognised through earnings. The securities for which the market prices are not available are carried at cost. Investment in subsidiary and associates’ securities as well as available-for-sale securities are subject to impairment accounting.
(11) | Pensions |
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 unrecognised 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 ten percent 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 recognised on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, and unrecognised gains and losses which are not recognised 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 unrecognised prior year service costs and actuarial gains or losses; however, the corridor approach is not allowed.
(12) | 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, unrecognised gains and losses which are not recognised 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.
- 52 -
(13) | 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 recognised 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.
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, are fully consolidated. 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 recognised in the income statement.
- 53 -
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 recognised in the income statement.
(3) | Sale of loans |
The Bank transfers commercial and consumer loans through securitisation transactions. The transferred loans are de-recognised and gains/losses are accounted for, 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 with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines for securitisation of standard assets, with effect from February 1, 2006, the Bank accounts for any loss arising from securitisation immediately at the time of sale and the profit/premium arising from securitisation is amortized over the life of the securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle to which the assets are sold. With effect from May 7, 2012, the Reserve Bank of India guidelines require the profit/premium arising from securitisation to be amortized over the life of the transaction based on the method prescribed in the guidelines.
In accordance with Reserve Bank of India guidelines, in case of non-performing loans, which are past due for more than 60 days, sold to securitisation company/reconstruction company, 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 recognised by the Bank in the year in which the loan is sold.
Under Japanese accounting principles, the transfer of loans is recognised as sales and the resulting gains or losses are recognised if de-recognition requirements for financial assets under the financial component approach are met.
(4) | Share-based compensation |
The Bank follows the intrinsic value method to account for its stock-based employee compensation plans. Compensation 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 and amortized 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.
(5) | Retirement benefit |
Under Indian GAAP, defined benefit plans are accounted for based on actuarial valuation with actuarial gains and losses recognised 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.
- 54 -
(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 and depreciation/appreciation, except for securities 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 unrealised, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided for. The depreciation on securities acquired by way of loan conversion is fully provided for. Non-performing investments are identified and provided for based on the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. The unrealised gains and losses of the Bank’s consolidated venture capital investments are transferred to Reserves and Surplus.
Under Japanese accounting principles, unrealised gains and losses on trading securities are recognised in the profit and loss account. For available for sale securities, unrealised gain is principally recorded to the equity section, but it is allowed to record unrealised 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, are charged to the profit and loss account.
Under Japanese accounting principles, such costs 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 guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India. Loans and advances held at the overseas branches that are identified as impaired as per host country regulations for reasons other than record of recovery, but which are standard as per extant guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India, are classified as non-performing assets to the extent of amount outstanding in the host country. Further, non-performing assets are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by the Reserve Bank of India.
In the case of corporate loans and advances, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India. Loss assets and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are provided/written off as per the extant 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, including Reserve Bank of India direction for provision on accounts referred to National Company Law Tribunal under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

These additional provisions are written-back on satisfying the conditions for reversal as per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines.

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.
(9) | Hedge accounting |
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 under Indian GAAP. Hedged swaps are accounted for on an accrual basis and not marked to market unless their underlying transaction is marked to market.
Under Japanese accounting principles, all derivatives are marked to market with unrealised gains and losses being deferred to the extent that the requirements for hedge accounting are met.
(10) | Deferred tax |
Under Indian GAAP, deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets.
Under Indian GAAP, deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and affiliates are not recognised.
Under Japanese accounting principles, deferred tax is recognised based on the schedule for reversal of temporary difference as a whole. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised on part of undistributed profits of subsidiaries that are expected to be taxed upon payment as dividends.
(11) | Business Combination |
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) | Revenue recognition |
Under Indian GAAP, interest income is recognised in the profit and loss account as it accrues, except in the case of non-performing assets where it is recognised upon realization, as per the income recognition and asset classification norms of the Reserve Bank of India.
Under Japanese accounting principles, revenue related to the sales of goods or rendering of services should be recognised in accordance with the realization principle.
(13) | Property, Plant and Equipment |
Non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of claims are carried at lower of net book value and net realisable value. Further, the Bank creates provision on non-banking assets as per specific directions of the Reserve Bank of India.
