LEADERSHIP THROUGH
TECHNOLOGY...
Digital technology is transforming the way we lead
our lives today. The banking and financial services
industry is a clear representation of this transformation.
Consumers are more mobile than ever before and
expect services to be available at the time and place
of their choice.
At ICICI Bank, we have always realised this need of our
customers and developed technology-led offerings to
deliver a seamless banking experience at all places of
their choice, be it their place, our place or while they
are on the move.
Our consistency and speed in introducing these
offerings has been recognised at various national
and international forums, through the years. Our zeal
to improve the banking experience for customers
continues to drive us to innovate and carry forward our
leadership in delivering banking services using cuttingedge technology.

...AT YOUR PLACE

Be it home or office, over the years, we have


successfully brought banking closer to the customers,
at their place of choice. Our sales officers visit
customers and use tablets to open their bank
accounts. This service was an industry first and is
now almost an industry standard. Innovations like
Express Home Loans, where customers get their
home loan sanctioned online within eight hours, shift
the paradigm completely for a process that has always
been considered cumbersome. Banking at the place
of your choice was never so easy and simple.

...ON THE MOVE

...AT OUR PLACE

Recent advances in telecommunications have made


todays world an always connected world where
people demand and consume products and services
on the move. At ICICI Bank, we have always leveraged
technology effectively to stay ahead of customer
needs. iMobile, the first mobile banking application
of the country was launched in 2008, way before
smartphones were widely embraced, and continues
to be the most comprehensive mobile banking app
in the country. Pockets, launched just over a year
ago, is Indias first and largest digital wallet launched
by a bank.

The banking experience at our branches today is


a confluence of personalised human connect and
technology-enabled services. Wait times are now
history with customers either servicing themselves
at Insta Banking kiosks or pre-processing part of their
transactions on their iMobile app in advance. Smart
Vault, our state-of-the-art locker facility, uses robotic
technology to enable customers to access their
valuables 24x7, with multi-layer security systems
using biometrics. These services represent seamless
integration of the digital and physical.

Message from the Chairman


continuous journey of transformation, diversification and
expansion to become a truly universal bank. The Group
seeks to address every aspect of the financial services needs
savings, investments, credit, protection and payments
of each and every customer segment large corporations,
small & medium enterprises, urban customers, farming and
non-farming rural communities and the under-privileged
who have thus far been excluded from access to financial
services. ICICI Bank has helped millions of individuals and
families achieve their aspirations, as well as played a key
role in the creation of infrastructure and industrial capacity
in the country.
The Indian banking sector is passing through a phase that
is both challenging and exciting. The growth slowdown
that the economy experienced from 2012 onwards has
led to stress on the corporate sector, resulting in both
pressure on asset quality as well as limited new growth
opportunities in the corporate segment for the banking
sector. At the same time, there are robust growth
opportunities in the retail segment and in rural areas; and
in the continuing opportunities for transformation led by
technology. The policy measures put in place over the last
two years have also led to a substantial improvement in
macro-economic parameters and are laying the foundation
for new opportunities for the corporate sector.

It is a pleasure to be addressing my first message to the


shareholders of ICICI Bank as the Chairman of the Board
of Directors. I have had a long prior association with the
Bank as an independent Director on the Board, and I am
honoured by the confidence the Board and shareholders
have reposed in me in appointing me as the Chairman. On
behalf of the Board, I would like to express our appreciation
of Mr. K. V. Kamath, who made an invaluable contribution
to the ICICI Group first as the CEO from 1996 to 2009, and
then as the Chairman of the Board for six years.
The ICICI Group is a financial conglomerate with a long
and rich history of leadership, of service to the nation and
of partnership in its growth. Founded as a development
finance institution in 1955, the Group has been on a

Annual Report 2015-2016

Over the last few years, ICICI Bank has substantially


strengthened its retail and rural business, as evidenced
both by its strong deposit franchise and funding profile,
the robust growth in its retail loan portfolio and healthy
and stable asset quality in this segment. It has continued
to innovate using technology to enhance the customer
proposition. The Bank has calibrated growth and reoriented
the strategy of its international operations in line with the
new global environment. The corporate segment, where
the Bank had in earlier years supported industrial and
infrastructure investment critical to Indias growth, has
experienced challenges. The Bank has calibrated growth
in its corporate loan portfolio as the economic pressures
emerged. It is addressing the risks in this segment in a
focused manner, by working closely with clients to ensure
deleveraging, by ensuring that the Banks interests are
protected and by reformulating its risk appetite and risk
management framework to rebalance the portfolio mix
towards a lower risk profile. Underpinning the Banks
strategy and approach are its operating earnings and very
strong capital base, which enable it to absorb risks while
capitalising on growth opportunities. During fiscal 2016,

given the elevated risks in certain sectors, the Bank on a


prudent basis made a collective contingency and related
reserve towards its exposure to these sectors, thereby
further strengthening the balance sheet.
The ICICI Group franchise is unique in that it extends
beyond banking to outstanding franchises in every
segment of financial services. It is a matter of great
satisfaction that the value created by the insurance
businesses of the Group was demonstrated during the
year through investments in each of the subsidiaries.
This further adds to the Groups financial strength and its
platform for capitalising on the vast growth potential for
financial services in India.
The Board of Directors is fully committed to maintaining
the highest standards of corporate governance, with a
view to ensuring that the Bank is well-placed to address
risks as well as capitalise on growth opportunities, within

a framework of regulatory compliance and adherence to


the highest ethical standards. The executive management
team led by the Managing Director & CEO has set out
a growth path based on the defined risk appetite and
risk management and capital allocation framework,
while focusing on addressing stress in the portfolio and
maintaining a strong balance sheet. The ICICI Group has
substantial depth of leadership talent, and is well-placed to
execute its strategy. I am confident that the coming years
will see the Group maintain and enhance its strength and
capitalise on the diverse growth opportunities that our
country presents.
With best wishes,

M. K. Sharma

Annual Report 2015-2016

Message from the Managing Director & CEO


Against this backdrop, at ICICI Bank, we focused on
capitalising on growth opportunities while at the same
time taking necessary steps to address challenges in the
environment. We continued to enhance our franchise, and
maintained our financial strength with robust capital levels.
I would like to share some highlights for the Bank during
the year.
We sustained robust growth in our retail loan portfolio
which grew by 23.3% and now constitutes 46.6% of
total loans.
We selectively grew our corporate portfolio focusing
on higher rated clients, with a revised limit framework
aimed at reducing concentration risk in the portfolio.

We maintained our healthy funding profile, with an
addition of ` 193.70 billion to savings deposits and
` 93.50 billion to current account deposits, and a CASA
ratio of 45.8%. We expanded our network to 4,450
branches and 13,766 ATMs.

We continued to be at the forefront of leveraging
technology to improve the customer experience. We
were the first bank in India to introduce contactless
mobile payments using smartphones. We introduced
Express Home Loans, the countrys first fully online
process for sanctioning home loans. Our digital wallet,
Pockets, has had over 3.6 million downloads. Our
banking application, iMobile, is the most comprehensive
banking app in the country, offering over 150 services,
many of which are industry firsts.

The global economy experienced challenging conditions


in fiscal 2016, with weak growth and divergent monetary
policies in advanced economies, slowdown in China
and significant decline in commodity prices. The Indian
economy continued to make progress during the year,
with improvement in key macroeconomic parameters
and focused government initiatives to drive sustainable
growth. However, the corporate sector continued to
experience challenges given the prolonged slowdown in
growth in earlier years and the global environment. Credit
growth in the banking sector was moderate, with robust
retail loan demand being offset by muted demand from
the corporate sector. While retail asset quality was healthy
and stable, the challenges facing the corporate sector
impacted the asset quality metrics and profitability of
banks. Other segments of financial services, like insurance
and mutual funds, witnessed healthy growth.

Annual Report 2015-2016


With our focus on core operating parameters, we
achieved an operating profit of ` 238.63 billion, a yearon-year growth of 21.0%.
In view of the challenges being experienced by certain
sectors of the economy, the Bank further strengthened
its balance sheet by creating a collective contingency
and related reserve of ` 36.00 billion on a prudent
basis. This is over and above provisions made for nonperforming and restructured loans as per Reserve Bank
of India guidelines.

The Banks standalone profit before the above
collective contingency and related reserve and tax
was ` 157.96 billion. Even after taking into account the
above prudent reserving and provision for tax, the Bank
achieved a standalone profit after tax of ` 97.26 billion
and a consolidated profit after tax of ` 101.80 billion.

We demonstrated the substantial value created by our


subsidiaries, with a 6% stake sale in ICICI Prudential
Life Insurance Company at a company valuation of
` 325.00 billion and a 9% stake sale in ICICI Lombard
General Insurance Company at a company valuation
of ` 172.25 billion.

4. 
Resolution of exposures through asset sales by
borrowers, change in management and working with
stakeholders to ensure that companies are able to
operate at an optimal level and generate cash flows.

The Bank maintained a very strong capital position,


with Tier-1 capital adequacy of 13.09% and total
capital adequacy of 16.64%, well above regulatory
requirements.

1. Sustaining the robust funding profile;

The profits and the strong capital position enabled the


Bank to maintain a healthy proposed dividend of ` 5
per equity share.

3. Continued focus on cost efficiency; and

We continued to strengthen our position across the


financial sector. Our insurance subsidiaries maintained
their leadership position among private sector players.
ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company became
the largest mutual fund in India, with assets under
management of over ` 1.8 trillion.
We continued to partner the nation in its journey of inclusive
growth. ICICI Foundation for Inclusive Growth scaled up the
ICICI Academy for Skills to 22 skill training centres across
the country and imparted training to over 25,000 youth,
including 10,000 women. Through the Academy and our
Rural Self Employment Training Institutes in Rajasthan,
ICICI Foundation has trained over 60,000 youth, and we
are targeting the milestone of training 100,000 youth by
March 2017. We continued to focus on rural development
through financial inclusion. At the end of fiscal 2016, the
Bank had 20.7 million basic savings bank accounts. The
Bank actively participated in the government schemes
launched under the Jan Suraksha Yojana and was among
the first to initiate enrollments for insurance schemes
through SMS.

Continuing to enhance the franchise

2. Maintaining digital leadership and a strong customer


franchise;

4. Focus on capital efficiency and further unlocking of


value in subsidiaries.
The Indian economy is poised to build on the progress
made in the last two years to move ahead on its growth
path. The ICICI Group is well-positioned to address
the challenges in certain sectors and capitalise on the
opportunities that will arise out of Indias growth and
transformation. I look forward to your continued support
in this journey.
With best wishes,

Chanda Kochhar

Executive Director
(Designate), Subject
to RBI approval

Fiscal 2016 was marked by a weak global economic environment, sharp downturn in the commodity
prices, gradual nature of the domestic economic recovery and high corporate leverage. Against this
backdrop, we continued to maintain and enhance the strength of our balance sheet with granularity
in funding, efficiency in capital usage and proactive reserving. With subdued corporate loan
demand, we increased the momentum in retail lending. The monetisation transactions in insurance
subsidiaries during the year demonstrated the significant value creation in the Group. We have
continued to build on our franchise through a robust funding mix, cost efficiency, digital leadership
and large physical footprint. We believe that, given our strong core earnings, healthy capital
position, large customer base, talented management team and substantial value in subsidiaries,
we will be able to enhance our franchise further and capitalise on growth opportunities.

Providing exemplary customer service across channels continues to be our top priority. We
have made significant investments in Big Data Analytics, Multi-channel Architecture and bestin-class Customer Relationship Management tools to ensure we have a 360 degree view of our
customers and can offer best suited products and services to them. In future, we will leverage new
technologies like Artificial Intelligence to drive customer engagement. We continue to innovate to
empower our customers - we dematerialised credit and debit cards on our digital bank, Pockets,
to allow NFC payments through mobile, introduced self-service kiosks and gave India its first 24x7
robotic lockers (Smart Vaults). Additionally, we added to our branch and ATM network we are
now closer to our customers with 4,450 branches and have the largest number of 13,766 ATMs
across all private banks.

In fiscal 2016, the operating environment for the corporate sector remained challenging due to
high leverage, shortfalls in cash flow generation, continued weak corporate investment activity
and decline in commodity prices which had an impact on borrowers in commodity-linked sectors
such as iron and steel. During the year, we explored new income streams while proactively
monitoring our existing exposure and further strengthening our frameworks for exposure and risk
management. We focused on further enhancing our commercial banking franchise and incremental
disbursements were largely to higher rated corporates. In the new financial year, the Wholesale
Banking Group will continue to focus on enhancing the quality of the portfolio and the quality of
earnings by further developing our expertise in products, processes and technology to meet client
requirements and leverage growth opportunities in the market.

During fiscal 2016, our focus was to balance risks in the global economy - arising out of monetary
tightening in the US, continuing growth concerns in China and the sharp drop in commodity prices
- with the growth momentum in India. In this context, the Bank identified growth opportunities in
select areas with enhanced controls, while repatriating surplus capital and profits from its overseas
businesses. Accordingly, the Bank continued to leverage its strong brand, service culture and
technological capabilities to grow its franchise with multinational companies and non-resident
Indians. ICICI Bank became the first bank in India to launch its online Money2World service for its
customers. In the SME segment in India, the Bank continued to leverage its presence to grow in a
more granular manner and enabled a larger number of entrepreneurs to participate in the emerging
economic opportunities.

Smartphones are redefining every aspect of


life today. Banking is no exception. Today,
mobile banking is mainstream. Over the
years, we have played a leading role in this
transformation: educating customers and
showing the way to the rest of the industry
to join along.
From money transfers to contactless
payments to loan applications, the Bank has
made virtually every transaction possible
on the move, so customers are no longer
constrained by time or place.
In February 2015, we launched Pockets,
Indias first digital wallet by a bank, which
can be used by customers and noncustomers alike. Users, especially the young
generation who may not have access to a
traditional bank account, can download the
Pockets app instantly on their phone, fund
it and start transacting immediately. Within
the first year of its launch, Pockets has
garnered over 3.6 million downloads. In an
industry ruled by discounts and cashbacks,
the Pockets app ranks among the top digital
wallets of the country, despite limited spends
on promotions.

In todays fast paced world, customers like


to complete their transactions quickly and
pay in a jiffy. Realising this, the all-new
Pockets app now sports a revolutionary
feature. Touch & Pay, Indias first contactless
mobile payment solution, enables secure
payments through smartphones at retail
stores and does away with the need to
carry physical cards. All ICICI Bank credit
and debit card users can use this feature to
make payments at over 60,000 merchant
outlets across the country. They simply
need to wave their phones on Near Field
Communication (NFC) enabled merchant
terminals to make the payment.
Pockets is increasingly growing to become
a comprehensive payments app. mVisa, a
service launched in parternship with Visa
earlier in the year, allows customers to
use their Pockets app to make cashless
payments at merchant outlets. Customers
can use mVisa to scan a QR code
available at the merchant outlet, enter
the bill amount and confirm the payment
by entering their debit card PIN. A firstof-its-kind service in the world, mVisa
ensures that the transactions are faster
and more convenient.

Leadership through technology is about


continuous improvement and evolution.
In early 2008, when ICICI Bank launched
iMobile, Indias first mobile banking app,
smartphones were still at their nascence
in the country. ICICI Bank foresaw the
potential of mobile applications early and
provided this convenient way of banking
to its customers much ahead of others!
iMobile today has evolved to become
Indias most comprehensive mobile
banking application, which brings 150+
banking services on a single platform. It
offers a range of essential banking features
such as funds transfer, bill payment,
checking account balance and opening
fixed and recurring deposits. In addition,
users can also now add payees, personalise
their debit cards with an image of their
choice and even book railway tickets.
iMobile today also bridges the digital and
the physical world. For customers writing
physical cheques for payments, it offers
additional security measures through

the cheque and upload it over their iMobile

electronically. However, we realise that
there are many customers who still derive
comfort from writing a physical cheque.
We leveraged technology to make this
process easier for such customers. The
eftCheques app by the Bank replicates the
cheque writing experience on customers
smartphones. Customers can flip open a
virtual cheque book on their eftCheques
app and write a cheque to any person from
their phone-book. The recipient receives
a web-link over SMS and can encash the
cheque into a bank account of his or her
choice instantly. Cheques can be written

iLoans
An app that makes it easy
for customers to track and
access all their loan-related
details while on the move

iMobile

the first mobile banking


app in India is also the
most comprehensive
banking app in India

Eazypay

enables customers of all


banks to pay merchants
online without any
registration

and encashed any time of the day, all days


of the week including holidays, without
the need to walk into a branch. Another
feature of eftCheques allows customers
to scan a cheque they have received and
upload the image before depositing the
cheque in a nearby branch. This eliminates
the cheque-scanning activity at our backoffice and saves a few hours in the chequeclearing process, thereby benefiting the
customers.
The overwhelming adoption of iMobile
has clearly indicated high customer
appetite for accessing banking services on
smartphones. With this insight, the Bank
created a comprehensive app for its asset
products, iLoans an app that makes it
easy for customers to track and access
all their loan-related details while on the
move. As an industry first, the app also
allows customers to submit a request for
the disbursement of a new tranche of an
existing home loan from the comfort of
their phones and enjoy a seamless, fast
and easy disbursement experience.
Consumers have for long struggled
to track and conveniently make bill

payments to merchants who may not


have elaborate online payment systems,
such as schools and housing societies.
An innovative online solution, aptly
named Eazypay was launched this year
to ease such payments for customers,
while reducing collection overheads for
merchants. Merchants can upload bills of
their customers and simply link the bills
to the mobile number of the customer.
Customers can log on to the Eazypay
portal, submit their phone numbers
and view and pay all their bills from
various merchants. The service is bankagnostic: customers of all banks can use
it to make their bill payments. Initiatives
like Eazypay not only strengthen our
leadership status in the sector, but also
boost the usage of electronic payments
in the country.
The world as we see today is fast
evolving into a place where consumers
are increasingly demanding more
and more services on the move. By
deploying cutting-edge technology to
deliver innovative banking solutions on
mobile devices, ICICI Bank continues to
be a trendsetter for the banking industry.

From opening bank accounts to

stepping out of their homes or

Express
Home Loans

enables customers to get a


home loan sanction online
in just 8 working hours, for
the first time in India

At ICICI Bank, we realised very early that


customers would soon wish to carry out
banking transactions from the comfort of
their homes. We popularised our internet
banking services in the early part of this
century, much before e-commerce took
root in the country. We also innovated
to launch several other solutions which
enable customers to carry out their key
banking activities from their homes or
offices.
One such revolutionary initiative is Tab
Banking, an example of how the physical
and digital worlds can converge without
losing the human connect. Our sales
officers use a tablet today to complete the
entire account-opening activity, including
scanning of the KYC documents, at a
location of the customers choice. Since
its launch in 2013, we have opened over
4.2 million bank accounts through Tab
Banking. An industry first, the service has
now become almost a standard across
many leading Indian banks.
As another first in the banking industry,
our Voice Biometric solution enables
us to recognise our customers by their
voices over the phone and then allow
them to conduct banking transactions
with enhanced security. By deploying a

sophisticated technology that matches the


customers voice with their pre-recorded
samples, we have eliminated passwords
and PINs from this activity.
Express Home Loans is another such
implementation of technology to disrupt
the traditional home loan sanction
process, which has always involved a large
amount of paperwork and multiple branch
visits. ICICI Bank was the first to launch
a fully online sanction process, wherein
customers can fill in their details, upload
relevant documents and get a home loan
sanctioned within eight working hours.
The Bank has always been a leader
in inward remittances. This year we
launched Money2World, Indias first fully
online service enabling resident Indians
to send money abroad from any bank in
India to any bank overseas, within one
international working day. The service is
available round the clock and funds can be
transferred in 16 currencies.
From opening bank accounts to
transferring money anywhere in the world,
the Banks technology solutions empower
customers to fulfil their banking needs,
without stepping out of their homes or
offices.

At a time when officers tallying cash on


physical ledgers and long waiting times at
counters defined the banking experience
in India, ICICI Bank revolutionised the
industry with computers at the branches
and ATMs in the neighbourhood. Since
then, our journey in harnessing technology
to deliver a quick and efficient customer
experience at our premises has come a
long way.
This year, we introduced Smart Vault, a fully
automated state-of-the-art locker which is
available 24x7, including weekends. The
Smart Vault uses robotic technology to
access the lockers from a safe vault and
enables customers to conveniently operate
their lockers in the comfort and privacy of
a secure lounge, without any intervention
of the branch staff. The enhanced security
features of Smart Vault include biometric
authentication, a direct call line to a central
security team available round-the-clock,
automatic alarms for sessions beyond
a specified time, armed security, video
patrolling and SMS alerts.
Our network of Touch Banking branches,
Indias first fully automated bank branches
that we introduced a few years ago,
continues to expand. These branches
operate in self-service mode, round-theclock, 365 days of the year. At 110 of

these branches across 33 cities in India,


customers can deposit cash or cheques,
print bank statements and do much more.
They can also interact with our Bank staff
through video-conference.
Usage of Touch Banking branches by a
large number of customers encouraged
us to design self-service kiosks. The
Bank has deployed more than 1,800 selfservice kiosks, which include Cash Deposit
machines and Insta Banking kiosks, across
its branches. A first-of-its-kind device in
the country, Insta Banking kiosk enables
customers to access their accounts,
transfer funds, print statements, pay bills
and avail many other banking services.
At bank branches, customers are required
to fill in various forms to submit their
transaction requests like depositing cash
and requesting for a demand draft. Insta
Banking, an innovative feature introduced
in the iMobile app, now allows customers
to fill in the requisite forms on their phones
while on their way to the branch.
Branches, ATMs and kiosks, all physical
touch points of ICICI Bank today employ
cutting-edge technology to deliver
a seamless and convenient banking
experience.

The Compensation Policy of the Bank as last amended and approved by the BGRNC and the Board at its Meeting
held on September 16, 2015, pursuant to the guidelines issued by RBI, covers all employees of the Bank, including
those in overseas branches of the Bank. In addition to the Banks Compensation Policy guidelines, the overseas
branches also adhere to relevant local regulations.

Annual Report 2015-2016

Type of employees covered and number of such employees

All employees of the Bank are governed by the compensation policy. The total number of permanent employees
governed by the compensation policy of the Bank at March 31, 2016 was 72,175.
b) Information relating to the design and structure of remuneration processes

Key features and objectives of remuneration policy

The Bank has under the guidance of the Board and the BGRNC, followed compensation practices intended to
drive meritocracy within the framework of prudent risk management. This approach has been incorporated in the
Compensation Policy, the key elements of which are given below:

Effective governance of compensation:

The BGRNC has oversight over compensation. The Committee defines Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for
WTDs and equivalent positions and the organisational performance norms for bonus based on the financial
and strategic plan approved by the Board. The KPIs include both quantitative and qualitative aspects. The
BGRNC assesses organisational performance as well as the individual performance for WTDs and equivalent
positions. Based on its assessment, it makes recommendations to the Board regarding compensation for
WTDs and equivalent positions and bonus for employees, including senior management and key management
personnel.

Alignment of compensation philosophy with prudent risk taking:

The Bank seeks to achieve a prudent mix of fixed and variable pay, with a higher proportion of variable pay
at senior levels and no guaranteed bonuses. Compensation is sought to be aligned to both financial and nonfinancial indicators of performance including aspects like risk management and customer service. In addition,
the Bank has an employee stock option scheme aimed at aligning compensation to long term performance
through stock option grants that vest over a period of time. Compensation to staff in financial and risk control
functions is independent of the business areas they oversee and depends on their performance assessment.


Whether the Remuneration Committee reviewed the firms remuneration policy during the past year, and if so,
an overview of any changes that were made

The Banks Compensation Policy was reviewed by the BGRNC and the Board on April 27, 2015. The section
on Effective Governance of Compensation in the Compensation Policy was then modified pursuant to the
Guidelines for Implementation of Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCCB). The Compensation Policy was further
modified by the BGRNC and the Board at its Meeting held on September 16, 2015 to include the aspects relating
to Compensation to non-executive part-time Chairman and to non-executive Directors (other than part-time
Chairman and Government Nominee).


Discussion of how the Bank ensures that risk and compliance employees are remunerated independently of
the businesses they oversee

The compensation of staff engaged in control functions like risk and compliance depends on their performance,
which is based on achievement of the key results of their respective functions. Their goal sheets do not include
any business targets.
c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes

Overview of the key risks that the Bank takes into account when implementing remuneration measures

The Board approves the risk framework for the Bank and the business activities of the Bank are undertaken within
this framework to achieve the financial plan. The risk framework includes the Banks risk appetite, limits framework
and policies and procedures governing various types of risk. KPIs of WTDs & equivalent positions, as well as
employees, incorporate relevant risk management related aspects. For example, in addition to performance
targets in areas such as growth and profits, performance indicators include aspects such as the desired funding
profile and asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational
and individual performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board.

Annual Report 2015-2016

Directors Report


Overview of the nature and type of key measures used to take account of these risks, including risk difficult to
measure

The annual performance targets and performance evaluation incorporate both qualitative and quantitative
aspects including asset quality, provisioning, increase in stable funding sources, refinement/improvement of the
risk management framework, effective management of stakeholder relationships and mentoring key members of
the top and senior management.

Discussion of the ways in which these measures affect remuneration

Every year, the financial plan/targets are formulated in conjunction with a risk framework with limit structures for
various areas of risk/lines of business, within which the Bank operates to achieve the financial plan. To ensure
effective alignment of compensation with prudent risk taking, the BGRNC takes into account adherence to the risk
framework in conjunction with which the financial plan/targets have been formulated. KPIs of WTDs & equivalent
positions, as well as employees, incorporate relevant risk management related aspects. For example, in addition
to performance targets in areas such as growth and profits, performance indicators include aspects such as
the desired funding profile and asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while
assessing organisational and individual performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the
Board.


Discussion of how the nature and type of these measures have changed over the past year and reasons for the
changes, as well as the impact of changes on remuneration

The nature and type of these measures have not changed over the past year and hence, there is no impact on
remuneration.
d) Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period
with levels of remuneration

Overview of main performance metrics for the Bank, top level business lines and individuals

The main performance metrics include profits, loan growth, deposit growth, risk metrics (such as quality of
assets), compliance with regulatory norms, refinement of risk management processes and customer service. The
specific metrics and weightages for various metrics vary with the role and level of the individual.

Discussion of how amounts of individual remuneration are linked to the Bank-wide and individual performance

The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational and individual
performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board regarding the level of performance
bonus for employees and the performance assessment of WTDs and equivalent positions. The performance
assessment of individual employees is undertaken based on achievements vis--vis their goal sheets, which
incorporate the various aspects/metrics described earlier.

 iscussion of the measures the Bank will in general implement to adjust remuneration in the event that
D
performance metrics are weak, including the Banks criteria for determining weak performance metrics

The Banks Compensation Policy outlines the measures the Bank will implement in the event of a reasonable
evidence of deterioration in financial performance. Should such an event occur in the manner outlined in the
policy, the BGRNC may decide to apply malus on none, part or all of the unvested deferred variable compensation.
e) Description of the ways in which the Bank seeks to adjust remuneration to take account of the longer term
performance


Discussion of the Banks policy on deferral and vesting of variable remuneration and, if the fraction of variable
remuneration that is deferred differs across employees or groups of employees, a description of the factors
that determine the fraction and their relative importance

The quantum of bonus for an employee does not exceed a certain percentage (as stipulated in the compensation
policy) of the total fixed pay in a year. Within this percentage, if the quantum of bonus exceeds a predefined
threshold percentage of the total fixed pay, a part of the bonus is deferred and paid over a period. These
thresholds for deferrals are same across employees.

38

Annual Report 2015-2016


Discussion of the Banks policy and criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration before vesting and (if permitted
by national law) after vesting through claw back arrangements

The deferred portion of variable pay is subject to malus, under which the Bank would prevent vesting of all or
part of the variable pay in the event of an enquiry determining gross negligence, breach of integrity or in the
event of a reasonable evidence of deterioration in financial performance. In such cases, variable pay already paid
out may also be subjected to clawback arrangements, as applicable.
f) Description of the different forms of variable remuneration that the Bank utilises and the rationale for using these
different forms

 verview of the forms of variable remuneration offered. A discussion of the use of different forms of variable
O
remuneration and if the mix of different forms of variable remuneration differs across employees or group of
employees, a description of the factors that determine the mix and their relative importance.

The Bank pays performance linked retention pay (PLRP) to its front-line staff and junior management and
performance bonus to its middle and senior management. PLRP aims to reward front line and junior managers,
mainly on the basis of skill maturity attained through experience and continuity in role which is a key differentiator
for customer service. The Bank also pays variable pay to sales officers and relationship managers in wealth
management roles while ensuring that such pay-outs are in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
The Bank ensures higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and lower variable pay for front-line staff and
junior management levels.

The percentage increase in remuneration of each Director, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Company
Secretary ranged between 12.0% and 15.0%.
(iii) The percentage increase in the median remuneration of employees in the financial year;
The percentage increase in the median remuneration of employees in the financial year was around 12.0%.
(iv) The number of permanent employees on the rolls of company;
The number of employees, as mentioned in the section on Managements Discussion & Analysis is 74,096. Out of this,
the number of employees on permanent rolls of the company is 72,175, including employees in overseas locations.
(v) The explanation on the relationship between average increase in remuneration and company performance;
The Bank follows prudent remuneration practices under the guidance of the Board and the BGRNC. The Banks approach
to remuneration is intended to drive meritocracy within the framework of prudent risk management. Remuneration is
linked to corporate performance, business performance and individual performance.
The Bank has a judicious and prudent approach to compensation and does not use compensation as the sole lever to
attract and retain employees. Employee compensation takes into account a mix of external market pay and internal
equity. The total compensation is a prudent mix of fixed pay and variable pay. The proportion of variable pay to total
compensation is higher at senior levels and lower at junior levels.
The increase in remuneration is a function of factors outlined above. The performance of the company has bearing on
the quantum of variable pay declared for employees across levels.
The profit before collective contingency and related reserve and tax was ` 157.96 billion for fiscal 2016 compared to
` 158.20 billion for fiscal 2015. The average increase in the remuneration of employees was around 9.0% in fiscal 2016
compared to 10.0% in fiscal 2015. Further the senior management of the Bank did not receive performance bonus for
fiscal 2016. Performance bonus was paid to employees in the grades of Deputy General Manager and below only.
In fiscal 2016, the weak global economic environment, the sharp downturn in the commodity cycle and the gradual
nature of the domestic economic recovery has adversely impacted the borrowers in certain sectors like iron and steel,
mining, power, rigs and cement. While the banks are working towards resolution of stress on certain borrowers in these
sectors, it may take some time for solutions to be worked out, given the weak operating and recovery environment. In
view of the above, the Bank has on a prudent basis made a collective contingency and related reserve of ` 36.00 billion
towards exposures to these sectors. This is over and above provisions made for non-performing and restructured loans
as per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.
In view of the above, the Banks profit after tax (PAT) was ` 97.26 billion in FY2016 compared to ` 111.75 billion in FY2015.

addition to financial parameters, include parameters related to risk and compliance. At the end of the financial year, the
performance of the Bank as well as performance of each WTD based on their respective KPIs (including those pertaining
to compliance and risk) is presented to the BGRNC. Based on the performance assessment by the BGRNC, the variable

long-term sustainable value creation. The Scheme is in compliance with the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits)

No employee was granted options during any one year equal to or exceeding 0.05% of the issued equity shares of ICICI
Bank at the time of the grant.
The diluted earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to issue of shares on exercise of options calculated in accordance with
AS-20 was ` 16.65 in fiscal 2016 compared to basic EPS of ` 16.75. The Bank recognised a compensation cost of ` 0.8
million in fiscal 2016 based on the intrinsic value of options. However, if the Bank had used the fair value of options based

54

Annual Report 2015-2016

on the binomial tree model, compensation cost in fiscal 2016 would have been higher by ` 3.73 billion and proforma
profit after tax would have been ` 93.54 billion. On a proforma basis, the Banks basic and diluted earnings per share
would have been ` 16.11 and ` 16.02 respectively.
The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during fiscal 2016 are given below:
Risk-free interest rate
Expected life
Expected volatility
Expected dividend yield

7.58% to 8.19%
3.16 to 5.78 years
30.67% to 32.77%
1.62% to 2.11%

Expected early exercise of options is estimated based on the historical stock option exercise pattern of the Bank. Expected
volatility is based on historical volatility determined based on observed market prices of the Banks publicly traded equity
shares.
The weighted average fair value of options grantedduring fiscal 2016 is ` 100.50 (March 31, 2015: ` 90.09).The weighted
average exercise price of options exercised during fiscal 2016 is ` 161.16 (March 31, 2015: ` 150.66)

Annual Report on Corporate Social Responsibility activities
1. A brief outline of the companys CSR policy, including overview of projects or programs proposed to be undertaken
and a reference to the web-link to the CSR policy and projects or programs
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been a long-standing commitment at ICICI Bank. The Banks contribution
to social sector development includes several pioneering interventions and is implemented through the involvement
of stakeholders within the Bank and through the broader community. The Bank established the ICICI Foundation for
Inclusive Growth (ICICI Foundation) in 2008 with a view to significantly expand the activities in the area of CSR. Over
the last few years ICICI Foundation has developed significant projects in specific areas, and has built capabilities for
direct project implementation as opposed to extending financial support to other organisations.
The CSR Policy of the Bank sets the framework guiding the Banks CSR activities. It outlines the governance structure,
operating framework, monitoring mechanism, and CSR activities that would be undertaken. The CSR Committee is
the governing body that articulates the scope of CSR activities and ensures compliance with the CSR policy. The
Banks CSR activities are largely focused in the areas of education, health, skill development and rural development
and other activities as the Bank may choose to select in fulfilling its CSR objectives.
The CSR policy was approved by the Committee in July 2014, and subsequently was put up on the Banks website.

Business Overview
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
During fiscal 2016, the global economic environment remained challenging and was marked by three key factors: divergent
monetary policy in advanced and emerging economies, slowdown in growth in China and decline in global commodity
prices. These trends led to significant volatility in global financial markets and currency depreciation in emerging market
economies. The Indian economy continued to witness a gradual recovery, with improvements in key macroeconomic
parameters. Inflation moderated, interest rates came down, fiscal consolidation continued, foreign investments were
strong and the current account deficit remained stable. Policy measures were taken in the areas of infrastructure, foreign
investments and financial sector reforms and programmes were launched for financial inclusion and inclusive growth.
However, the global slowdown, commodity cycle, gradual pace of domestic recovery and high leverage in the corporate
sector led to muted credit growth and an increase in non-performing loans, including slippages from restructured loans,
for the Indian banking sector.
For a detailed discussion of economic developments in fiscal 2016, please refer Managements Discussion & Analysis.

BUSINESS REVIEW
Retail Banking
ICICI Bank has been a pioneer in introducing innovative products and services for its customers. Many of these products
and services have been industry firsts, thus becoming trendsetters. ICICI Bank has made digital technology core to its
strategy and has developed solutions which have made banking simple for its customers. Due to these solutions, the
Bank is an integral part of the lives of many of its customers who use the Banks applications for their diverse needs, even
beyond banking. The Banks solutions are also designed to cater to different life-cycle needs of its customers.
Last year, the Bank became the first in the country to introduce contactless debit and credit cards using Near-Field
Communication (NFC) technology. This enabled its customers to make electronic payments by just waving the contactless
card near the NFC-enabled merchant terminal. In fiscal 2016, the Bank unveiled the countrys first contactless mobile
payment solution to make in-store payments using smartphones. This solution provides the improved convenience of
Touch & Pay to the Banks credit and debit card customers, superseding the use of a physical card or cash, and is available
on Pockets, the Banks digital wallet. ICICI Bank also became the first bank globally to launch mVisa, a new mobile
payment solution from VISA. With this service, users of Pockets can make cashless payments from their smartphones
using their debit card by simply scanning an mVisa Quick Response (QR) code at a merchant location without swiping
the card at a POS machine. This service provides customers the convenience of speed to complete a transaction along
with enhanced security as the card remains in the custody of the customer.
Pockets gained the distinction of becoming the largest e-wallet launched by a bank with over 3.6 million downloads.
Interestingly, 80% of the registered users on Pockets are new customers to the Bank. With Pockets, users can instantly
download the e-wallet, fund it from any bank account in the country and start transacting immediately.
ICICI Bank has been at the forefront of mobile banking technology. It was one of the first banks to launch a mobile
banking application in India. The Bank launched the latest version of iMobile in May 2015. Today, iMobile is the most
comprehensive banking application offering over 150 services, many of which are industry firsts. Some of the features
available in the latest version are tagging transactions as favourites, direct call to call centre and iTrack to track all
deliverables from the Bank on the mobile.
In February 2016, the Bank launched a unique campaign, ICICI Appathon, a mobile app development challenge. This
campaign seeks to foster innovation and provides a platform for tapping into the immense talent of a techno-innovative
generation to bring new ideas and develop the next generation of banking applications on mobile phones. The Bank will
incorporate some of the winning ideas into its digital roadmap.

For the Bank, communication is an important tool to stay connected with its customers. The Bank realises that customers
interact with it through multiple channels, leading to the possibility of inconsistent communication. This leads to
a poor customer experience. To address this challenge, the Bank has invested in building an omni-channel real-time
communication architecture. This architecture is integrated with all its channels like call centre, emails, SMS, internet
banking, ATM, social media and branch.
This year, the Bank also launched the Smart Vault, a fully automated state-of-the-art locker service available 24x7. The
Smart Vault uses robotic technology to enable access to the lockers from the safe vault. Customers can conveniently
access their lockers at any time of the day, in the comfort of a secure lounge where the locker automatically comes up
to the customer. The Smart Vault is equipped with multi-layered state-of-the-art security systems including biometric
authentication. The launch of the Smart Vault marks a milestone in the Indian banking industry as it joins a select group
of overseas markets which has access to this unique robotic vault. This innovation is an exemplary illustration of the
potential of Make in India, as it has been designed and manufactured by Indian partners.
Keeping in mind customer convenience, ICICI Bank launched Money2World, a fully online outward remittance service for
resident Indians. This service is available even to non-account holders of ICICI Bank. Individuals can now transfer money
online from any bank account in India to any bank account overseas in 16 major currencies, in a convenient and fully
secure manner.
In fiscal 2016, ICICI Bank became the first private sector bank in the country to have a mortgage portfolio of more than
` 1 trillion. To commemorate the achievement, the Bank announced two breakthrough initiatives in India. Express Home
Loans is the countrys first fully online process for sanctioning home loans. This service provides online approval for
home loans within eight working hours. The second initiative helps individuals taking home loans for under construction
projects to get subsequent disbursements, after the first disbursement. Through iMobile, customers can upload the
demand letter from the builder and the proof of their contribution. The Bank assesses the demand and makes the
disbursement without the borrower having to visit the branch, thereby saving time and enhancing convenience for the
customers.
ICICI Bank also launched its new range of co-branded credit cards in association with the Italian luxury sports car
manufacturer, Ferrari. The Ferrari Credit Cards by ICICI Bank have been specially designed for discerning customers, who
are enthusiasts of the iconic luxury brand.
The Bank expanded its network to 4,450 branches and 13,766 ATMs at March 31, 2016. The Banks automation footprint
has also multiplied. At March 31, 2016, the Bank had 110 Touch Banking branches across 33 cities. The Bank has also
deployed more than 1,300 self-service kiosks for accepting cash, where anyone including non-customers of the Bank can
deposit cash in an ICICI Bank account in a completely automated manner with the account receiving instant credit, rather
than manually depositing cash at the teller counter. The Bank has also deployed 516 Insta Banking self-service kiosks at
its branches. Customers can access these kiosks by typing their debit card number and PIN number. These self-service
kiosks enable the customers to pre-process their transactions, reducing their waiting time at the branch.
These initiatives in terms of network expansion as well as technological upgrades for enhanced customer experience
have helped the Bank to achieve robust growth in its retail business. The Banks savings account deposits grew by 16.9%
to ` 1,342.30 billion at March 31, 2016. The Banks retail loan portfolio (including business banking and rural banking)
grew by 23.3% year-on-year at March 31, 2016 and constituted 46.6% of total loans.

Rural and Inclusive Banking Group


The Indian rural market presents significant growth opportunities as the market adapts to rapidly growing mobile
connectivity and access to formal financial services. The Banks rural strategy is focused on leveraging these trends and
building a sustainable model for extending financial services to rural customers. This is being made possible by offering
them a comprehensive product suite backed by technology. The Bank has set up a robust distribution network over the
last few years to reach customers in this market. At March 31, 2016, the Bank had 2,293 branches in rural and semi-urban

locations, which constituted 52% of the Banks total branch network and included 573 branches in hitherto unbanked
locations.
The Bank has developed customised financial products and services to cater to a wide range of rural customers including
farmers, traders, processors, as well as rural entrepreneurs. During fiscal 2016, the Bank issued 90,000 Kisan Credit Cards
(KCCs) and renewed the limits for 45,000 KCCs.
The Bank caters to the financial needs of women entrepreneurs through its Self-Help Group (SHG) programme as a part
of its microfinance initiatives. During fiscal 2016, the Bank impacted the lives of close to 2.5 million women by extending
loans under the SHG-Bank linkage programme. ICICI Bank also continues to be a significant lender to the microfinance
institutions for on-lending to customers.
As of March 31, 2016, the Bank had opened over 20 million Basic Savings Bank Deposit Accounts (BSBDA) through
its branch and Business Correspondent (BC) network. The Bank has actively pursued the agenda of seeding Aadhaar
numbers in customers accounts and has communicated with its customers through branches, e-mails, SMSs and letters.
As of March 31, 2016, the Bank has seeded over 7.0 million accounts with Aadhaar numbers.
The Bank has contributed significantly in promoting the Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY). It has opened 2.9
million accounts under the PMJDY scheme as of March 31, 2016, which is the highest among private sector banks.
About 89% of these accounts were opened in rural India. The Bank has also issued RuPay cards to these account
holders, which are inter-operable across various customer service points as well as ATMs of other banks. The Bank
has imparted financial literacy to its customers and encouraged transactions through their savings accounts, using
these RuPay cards.
The Bank has actively participated in the three schemes promoted under the governments Jan Suraksha Yojana (JSY).
These include the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana providing life insurance, the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima
Yojana for accident insurance and Atal Pension Yojana for providing pension benefits. The Bank facilitated enrollment
of beneficiaries through its branches as well as digital channels like internet banking, SMS and phone banking. The
Banks effort in enrolling beneficiaries for the insurance schemes through SMS was much appreciated by the Ministry of
Finance, Government of India, and directed other banks to follow the Banks approach. The Bank has enrolled a total of
2.9 million customers under the three JSY schemes.
The Banks rural portfolio grew by 25.2% to ` 300.91 billion during fiscal 2016.

Small & Medium Enterprises


Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a significant role in Indias economic development, generating large scale
employment and facilitating inclusive growth. A strong SME sector is crucial for building a resilient and dynamic corporate
sector. At the same time, SMEs also face multiple challenges in terms of scale of production, increasing competition and
rapid adoption of innovative practices in their operations.
At ICICI Bank, we offer a comprehensive suite of banking products and solutions to SMEs for meeting their business and
growth requirements. Our long-standing experience of partnering with SMEs has enabled us to develop non-traditional
techniques for assessing credit risks. These techniques are unique and provide appropriate solutions customised to their
needs. The Bank also offers supply chain financing solutions and small-ticket funding to the channel partners of large
corporates. The Bank has set up dedicated desks in 360 branches to assist SMEs. It also has specialised teams for current
accounts, trade finance, cash management services and door-step banking. The Bank has also tailored the internet
banking platform to cater to the unique banking needs of SMEs.
Fiscal 2016 continued to remain a challenging year for SMEs due to the gradual pick-up in economic activity, high
leverage among corporates and subdued investments. The Bank continued to pursue a strategy of calibrated growth
of the SME portfolio, with higher focus on managing concentration risks, diversification of portfolio, monitoring and
enhancement of collateral.

Wholesale Banking
The Wholesale Banking Group (WBG) provides customised solutions to corporate clients by analysing their specific
business and financial needs. It provides an array of financial solutions for working capital finance, export finance, trade,
transaction and commercial banking, foreign exchange and derivative products and rupee as well as foreign currency
term loans. The group comprises several teams focused on specific areas to facilitate specialisation and customised
product offerings.
The Corporate Banking Group is WBGs principal coverage group. It develops new corporate relationships and enhances
the existing ones through continuous engagements. It acts as a single point of contact for clients to cater to their
requirements across businesses. The relationship team collaborates with relevant groups within the Bank to address
specific needs of clients.
The Commercial Banking Group manages banking transactions, trade based requirements and cash management needs
of corporate customers, thereby improving client servicing capabilities at the operational level. This results in granularity
and stability of revenues and enhanced visibility of clients cash flows for the Bank, while being in proximity to clients
locations. The group maintains superior customer service through its network of mega branches. It also helps in growing
the Banks transaction banking business with the help of constantly evolving technology-enabled solutions.
The Syndications Group works in synergy with our corporate banking and project finance teams. It is one of the market
leaders in the loan syndication segment for corporate and project finance transactions. It specialises in the primary
and secondary loan distribution market and leverages strong relationships with market participants like banks, financial
institutions, non-bank finance companies (NBFCs), insurance companies and other financial entities. It also closely
interfaces with other market participants like private equity players and sovereign wealth funds.
The relationship teams also work with the Markets Group to address the currency and interest rate risk in client businesses;
and support clients in arranging market related funding products.
In fiscal 2016, the operating environment for the corporate sector remained challenging due to high leverage, shortfalls
in cash flow generation, continued weak corporate investment activity, gradual nature of the economic recovery, the
global economic slowdown and the decline in commodity prices which had an impact on borrowers in commoditylinked sectors such as iron and steel. The Wholesale Banking Group focused on proactive monitoring of the portfolio, as
well as on generating new income streams and developing new processes and products by leveraging technology. The
incremental lending during fiscal 2016 was largely focused on higher rated corporates. During fiscal 2016, a dedicated
group was created for special focus on borrowers requiring proactive steps for resolution and recovery. The Banks
approach to resolution and recovery encompasses working with sponsors for deleveraging through sale of assets and
businesses, working with all stakeholders to ensure improvement in the operations of borrowers and cash flow generation
and enforcement of contractual rights.
A framework for managing concentration risk with limits for lending to individual borrowers/groups based on factors
like rating of borrower, vintage of the company, vintage of relationship with the borrower, the industry of operations
and ownership (public sector vs. private sector) was put in place. The Bank has strengthened the credit monitoring
function and established a Credit Monitoring Group to further enhance its ability to develop early warning mechanisms
by proactive monitoring and analysis of the portfolio and account-level trends.

Project Finance
A challenging operating environment led to a slowdown in new project commitments and implementation, coupled with
operating issues with existing investments. During fiscal 2016, the Government undertook a series of reforms and policy
initiatives to help revive the infrastructure sector. In the power sector, the UDAY Scheme was announced to turnaround
ailing state government owned power distribution companies; allowing captive coal utilization for medium-term power
purchase agreements (PPAs) and implementation of scheme for gas linkages by way of reverse bidding to revive stranded
gas projects were some of the key initiatives. Taken together, these steps are expected to help the power sector in India
to recover gradually. In addition, the renewable energy segment has also gained momentum and new investments have

Business Overview
been announced. The Bank pursued lending opportunities in the roads and ports sectors and to a limited extent in the
power sector, particularly transmission and distribution.
In roads, execution under the National Highway Development Program (NHDP) has picked up speed in fiscal 2016. The
government has set an aggressive target of building 30 km/day of highways and has awarded several road projects
during the year. To mitigate the limitations of Build Operate Transfer (BOT) projects, the Government has introduced the
Hybrid Annuity Model which allows for greater risk sharing between the public and private sector. To provide a further
fillip to private participation, a few other key reforms were announced. These include allowing the private sector to exit
projects after two years of completion of construction, introduction of a one-time fund infusion for stalled road projects
and extension of concession period or upfront compensatory annuities for delays not attributable to the concessionaire,
amongst others. The sector is poised for growth on the back of renewed Government focus and an improving macroeconomic sentiment.
Railways, which was predominantly government-owned, has been opened up for private investments and is focusing
on improving passenger amenities. The public-private partnership mode has been envisaged for investments via redevelopment of various identified railway stations and unlocking of associated commercial real estate. This is expected
to open up opportunities for greater private sector participation.
The infrastructure and core sector developments are critical to Indias growth and the Banks sectoral expertise ensures
tapping opportunities to invest judiciously and for the long-term.

International Banking
ICICI Banks strategy for international banking continues to be focused on three pillars which include providing end-toend solutions for the international banking requirements of its Indian corporate clients; leveraging economic corridors
between India and the rest of the world; and establishing ICICI Bank as the preferred bank for Non-Resident Indians
(NRIs) in key global markets. The International Banking Group has positioned itself as the preferred partner for global
corporations seeking to expand their presence in India. The Bank also strives to build stable and diversified international
funding sources and strong syndication capabilities to support its corporate and investment banking businesses.
The Bank continued to sharpen its focus in fiscal 2016 on managing risks in its international operations due to the volatile
global business environment. It also focused on diversifying the funding profile of its international operations, expanding
its trade finance business and building relationships with global corporates doing business in India. ICICI Bank was
named Indias Best Borrower in FinanceAsias 2015 Fixed Income Research Poll. The Bank continued to rationalise the
capital invested in its overseas operations. During fiscal 2016, ICICI Bank Canada repatriated equity and preference share
capital aggregating CAD 87.1 million. ICICI Banks foreign branches also repatriated a portion of their retained earnings,
resulting in exchange rate gains of ` 9.41 billion.
India continues to be the highest recipient globally of inward remittances. ICICI Bank continues to be a leader in the
remittance market by offering innovative and customer friendly products and customised service offerings that meet
the requirements of the widely dispersed NRI population. In fiscal 2016, the Banks key platform for inward remittances,
Money2India was launched on Facebook. The mobile app for the same was enhanced to provide full-service capability
and the online service was extended to United Arab Emirates.
The Banks international footprint consists of subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Canada, branches in the United
States, Singapore, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Dubai International Finance Centre, Qatar Financial Centre, China and
South Africa; and representative offices in the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. The Banks
wholly-owned subsidiary, (ICICI Bank UK Plc), has eight branches in the United Kingdom and a branch each in Belgium
and Germany. ICICI Bank Canada also has eight branches. During fiscal 2016, the Bank opened its first branch in China and
in South Africa. ICICI Bank also set up its International Banking Unit (IBU), in Indias first International Financial Services
Centre (IFSC), at GIFT City, Gandhinagar in Gujarat. The Bank envisages the IBU to be at the core of its international
strategy aimed at offering trade, treasury and credit solutions to its corporate customers.

Treasury
ICICI Banks treasury operations comprise the Asset Liability Management Group, Markets Group and Proprietary Trading
Group.
The Asset Liability Management Group actively manages the Banks liquidity and securities portfolio held for compliance
with statutory and regulatory requirements. The Group focuses on optimisation of yield on the overall portfolio, while
maintaining an appropriate portfolio duration given the volatile interest rate environment.
The Markets Group offers foreign exchange and derivative solutions to clients and continues to be a major player in the
segment. The Bank provides global coverage of markets with a detailed insight into local markets. It provides clients
with regular market updates as well as quantitative and qualitative research on topics, related to macroeconomics and
financial markets. The Bank has also launched the gold metal loan product for domestic jewellery manufacturers in fiscal
2016 as restrictions imposed on gold imports were relaxed by the RBI.
The Proprietary Trading Group manages trading positions within the approved risk limits. The Bank is a leading player in
private placements of bonds/debentures. It has dedicated sales coverage of institutional debt investors across various
segments.
The Bank continues to receive awards and recognition in this area. It has been recognised as the Best Foreign Exchange
Bank India by FinanceAsia in its 2015 Country Awards for Achievement and the Derivatives House of the Year India
by The Asset in its 2015 Triple A Private Banking, Wealth Management and Investment Awards.

Risk Management
Risk is an integral part of the banking business and the Bank aims at achieving an appropriate trade-off between risk
and returns. Key risks that the Bank is exposed to include credit, market, liquidity, operational (including information
security), legal, compliance and reputation risks, among others. The Bank has put in place an Enterprise Risk Management
framework that articulates its risk appetite and details the drill down of the same into a limit framework for various risk
categories. The risk governance framework ensures oversight and accountability, continuous monitoring for vulnerability
mapping and an integrated evaluation for effective risk management.
The Board of Directors has oversight on all the risks assumed by the Bank. The Board has established Committees to
facilitate focused oversight of various risks. These Committees have specific terms of reference. Policies approved from
time to time by the Board of Directors or Committees of the Board constitute the governing framework for each type
of risk. Business activities are undertaken within this policy framework. Independent groups and sub-groups have been
constituted across the Bank to facilitate independent evaluation, monitoring and reporting of various risks. These groups
function independently of the business groups.
Every year, the Risk Committee approves a detailed calendar of reviews. The calendar of reviews include reviews of
risk management policies in relation to various risks, risk profile of the Bank, its overseas banking subsidiaries and key
non-banking subsidiaries, assessment of capital adequacy based on the risk profile of the balance sheet and status with
respect to the implementation of advanced approaches under the Basel framework. The Credit Committee also approves
a detailed calendar of reviews every year covering the Banks exposure to various industries and outlook for those
industries, analysis of non-performing loans, overdues, incremental sanctions and specific review of key portfolios. A
summary of the reviews carried out by the Credit Committee and Risk Committee is reported to the Board of Directors.
The Bank has dedicated groups (Risk Management Group, Compliance Group, Corporate Legal Group, Internal Audit
Group and Financial Crime Prevention and Reputation Risk Management Group) with a mandate to identify, assess and
monitor the Banks principal risks in accordance with well-defined policies and procedures. The Risk Management Group,
Corporate Legal Group and Financial Crime Prevention and Reputation Risk Management Group report to an Executive
Director. The Audit Committee provides direction to and monitors the quality of the compliance and internal audit function.

Annual Report 2015-2016

83

Business Overview
The Compliance and Internal Audit Groups have administrative reporting to an Executive Director. These groups are
independent of all business operations and coordinate with representatives of the business units to implement the Banks
risk-management methodologies.
Credit Risk
Credit risk entails the risk of loss that may occur from any partys failure to abide by the terms and conditions of any
financial contract, principally the failure to make required payments to the Bank. All credit risk related aspects are
governed by a Credit and Recovery policy, approved by the Banks Board of Directors. The Credit and Recovery policy
outlines the type of products that can be offered, customer categories, targeted customer profile and the credit approval
process and limits. The Bank measures, monitors and manages credit risk at an individual borrower level and at the
portfolio level for non-retail borrowers. The credit risk for retail borrowers is being managed at portfolio level. The Banks
structured and standardised credit approval process includes a well-established procedure of comprehensive appraisal.
It has also established a Country Risk Management Policy, which addresses the identification, measurement, monitoring
and reporting of country risk.
The credit risk associated with any corporate financing proposal is assessed based on an analysis of the borrower and the
industry in which the borrower operates. The Bank has developed internal credit rating methodologies for rating obligors.
In case of facilities backed by third-party comforts such as corporate guarantees, letters of comfort, put option or shortfall
undertaking, the rating of the borrower for such facilities is anchored to that of the comfort provider. The rating serves
as a key input in the approval as well as post-approval credit processes. The Bank has a framework for conducting asset
reviews. The risk based review framework outlines the review schedule wherein the frequency of asset review is higher
for cases with higher exposure and/or lower credit ratings. These reviews are conducted periodically (quarterly, halfyearly or yearly) based on the review schedule. Relevant industry knowledge is constantly updated through field visits
and interactions with clients, sector regulators and industry experts.
The appraisal and execution of project finance transactions involves a detailed evaluation of technical, commercial,
financial, marketing and management factors and the sponsors financial strength and experience. The Bank identifies
the project risks, mitigating factors and residual risks associated with the project. As a part of its due diligence, the Bank
appoints consultants, including technical advisors, business analysts, legal counsel and insurance consultants, whenever
necessary. Risk mitigating factors in project finance loans include creation of debt service reserves and channelling
project revenues through a trust and retention account. The Banks project finance loans are generally fully secured, and
have full recourse to the borrower. In some cases, the Bank also takes additional credit comforts such as corporate or
personal guarantees from one or more sponsors of the project or a pledge of the sponsors equity holding in the project
company.
The Bank has refined and strengthened its framework for managing concentration risk, including limits/ thresholds with
respect to single borrower and group exposure.
In case of retail loans, sourcing and approval have been segregated to maintain independence. The Credit Risk Management
Group has oversight on the credit risk issues for retail assets including vetting of all credit policies and operating notes
proposed for approval by the Board of Directors or forums authorised by the Board. The Credit Risk Management Group
is also involved in portfolio monitoring for all retail assets and suggesting and implementing policy changes.
The Retail Credit and Policy Group is an independent unit focusing on policy formulation and portfolio tracking and
monitoring. This group also includes the Credit Administration Unit that services various retail business units for
credit underwriting. In addition, there is also a Business Intelligence Unit to provide support for analytics, score card
development and database management. The credit officers evaluate retail credit proposals on the basis of the product
policy vetted by the Credit Risk Management Group and approved by the Committee of Executive Directors. These
criteria vary across product segments but typically include factors like the borrowers income, the loan-to-value ratio
and demographic parameters. Reports from credit bureaus also serve as an important input in making credit decisions.

84

Annual Report 2015-2016

The technical valuations in case of residential mortgages are conducted by empanelled valuers or technical teams.
External agencies (field investigation agencies and credit processing agencies) are used to facilitate a comprehensive due
diligence. The process includes visits to offices and homes in case of loans to individual borrowers. In addition, the credit
officer checks a centralised delinquent database and reviews the borrowers profile before disbursements. The Bank also
avails the services of certain fraud-control agencies operating in India to check applications before disbursements.
The Credit Monitoring Group, the Treasury Control and Services Group and the Operations Group monitor operational
adherence to regulations, policies and internal approvals. The Bank has centralised operations to manage operational
risk in most back office processes of the Banks retail loan business. It has established the Financial Crime Prevention
Group as a dedicated and independent group, handling fraud prevention, detection, investigation, monitoring, reporting
and awareness creation functions. The segregation of responsibilities and oversight by groups external to the business
groups ensure adequate checks and balances.
The Banks credit approval authorisation framework is laid down by the Board of Directors. Several levels of credit approval
authorities have been established for corporate banking activities like the Credit Committee of the Board of Directors,
the Committee of Executive Directors (COED), the Committee of Senior Management, the Committee of Executives
(Credit) and the Regional Committee (Credit). The authorisation framework is risk based with lower rated borrowers and/
or larger exposures being escalated to higher committees. Retail Credit Forums and Small Enterprise Group Forums
have been created for approval of retail loans and credit facilities to small enterprises and agriculture based enterprises
respectively. In addition, the Bank conducts programme lending, which involves a cluster-based approach, wherein a
lending programme is implemented for a homogeneous group of individuals/business entities that comply with certain
laid down parameterised norms. All such programmes and applicable limits are pre-approved by the COED. Individual
executives are also delegated with powers to approve lending within the exposure limits set by the Board of Directors,
in case of retail products.
Market Risk
Market risk arises when movements in market factors (foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads and equity prices)
impact the Banks income or the market value of its portfolios. Exposure to market risk is segregated into two portfoliostrading and structural banking books. Trading portfolios comprise positions arising from market making activity and trading
on own account. Market risk on the trading portfolio is assessed and managed through measures such as net overnight open
position limit, price value of one basis point, value-at-risk and stop loss limits. The structural banking book comprises the nontrading portfolio, which includes the Banks corporate/retail assets and liabilities, the available for sale portfolio and the held
to maturity portfolio. The risks associated with non-trading portfolios are measured through metrics such as the duration of
equity, earnings at risk and liquidity gap limits. The limits are stipulated in our Investment Policy, Asset Liability Management
Policy and Derivatives Policy. These policies are reviewed and approved by the Banks Board of Directors.
The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) comprises the MD & CEO, wholetime Directors and senior executives.
The ALCO meets periodically to review the Banks business profile and its impact on asset liability management. It
determines the asset liability management strategy in light of the current and expected business environment. It reviews
positions of the trading groups and the interest rate and liquidity gap positions on the banking book. The ALCO also sets
deposit and benchmark lending rates. The Market Risk Management Group recommends changes in risk policies and
processes and methodologies for quantifying and assessing market risks. Risk limits including position limits and stop
loss limits for the trading book are reported by the Treasury Control & Services Group and reviewed periodically.
Foreign exchange risk is tracked through the net overnight open position limit. Interest rate risk is measured through the
use of re-pricing gap analysis and duration analysis; and is tracked through interest rate risk limits approved by the ALCO.
The Bank uses various measurement tools of liquidity risk, including the statement of structural liquidity, dynamic liquidity
gap statements, liquidity ratios and stress testing. It maintains diverse sources of liquidity to facilitate flexibility in meeting
funding requirements. Incremental operations in the domestic market are principally funded by accepting deposits from
retail and corporate depositors. The deposits are augmented by borrowings in the short-term inter-bank market and

Annual Report 2015-2016

Business Overview
through the issuance of bonds, including long-term bonds (for financing infrastructure projects and affordable housing).
Loan maturities and sale of investments also provide liquidity. The Banks international branches are primarily funded by
debt capital market issuances, lines of financing from export credit agencies, syndicated loans, bilateral loans and bank
lines, while its international subsidiaries raise deposits from their local markets.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from
external events. Operational risk includes legal risk but excludes strategic and reputational risks. Operational risk is
inherent in the Banks business activities in both domestic as well as overseas operations and spans a wide spectrum
of issues. Operational risk can result from a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) failure to obtain proper
internal authorisations, improperly documented transactions, failure of operational and information security procedures,
computer systems, software or equipment, fraud, inadequate training and errors committed by employees. The Banks
operational risk is managed through a comprehensive system of internal controls, systems and procedures to monitor
transactions, key back-up procedures and undertaking regular contingency planning. The control framework is designed,
based on categorisation of functions into front-office comprising business groups, middle office comprising credit and
treasury middle offices, back office comprising operations, corporate and support functions.
The Banks operational risk management governance and framework is defined in the Operational Risk Management
(ORM) Policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Policy is applicable across the Bank, including overseas
branches, ensuring a clear accountability and responsibility for management and mitigation of operational risk,
developing a common understanding of operational risk; and helping the business and operation groups to improve
internal controls, thereby reducing the probability and potential impact of losses from operational risks. While
the policy provides a broad framework, detailed standard operating procedures for operational risk management
processes have been established. The Bank has adopted the three lines of defence approach for internal operational
risk management. The business, operation and support functions are responsible for managing the operational
risks inherent in the products, processes, services and activities undertaken by them. A functionally independent
Operational Risk Management Group (ORMG) is the second line of defence, complementing and challenging the
business lines operational risk management activities. The ORMG is responsible for design, implementation and
enhancement of operational risk management framework; and to support business and operations groups in
operational risk management on an on-going basis. The Internal Audit Department (IAD) is the third line of defence,
which undertakes an independent review of the first and second lines. The operational risk management framework
comprises identification and assessment of risks and controls, new products and process approval framework,
measurement through incidents and exposure reporting, monitoring through key risk indicators and mitigation
through process and control enhancement and insurance. The objective of the Banks operational risk management
is to manage and control operational risks within targeted levels of operational risk consistent with the Banks risk
appetite as specified in the ORM Policy.
The Board-level Committees that undertake supervision and review of operational risk aspects are the Risk Committee,
Fraud Monitoring Committee, Audit Committee and Information Technology Strategy Committee. The Bank has also
constituted an Operational Risk Management Committee (ORMC) to oversee internal operational risk management.
The ORM Policy specifies the composition, roles and responsibilities of the ORMC. Other executive level committees
that oversee operational risk related aspects are Product and Process Approval Committee, Outsourcing Committee,
Information Security Committee, Information Technology Steering Committee, Committee of Executive Directors and
Business Continuity Management Steering Committee.

Human Resources
ICICI Bank has always been committed to its employee value propositions called saath aapka which was formally
articulated in 2011.These propositions focus on creating a more enabling workplace, ensuring employee welfare and
offering opportunities to learn and grow.

Several initiatives focussed on women employees were launched during fiscal 2016. An important initiative is
iWork@Home, which is designed to help the Banks women employees to deal with life-stage related challenges. Under
this initiative, women employees can opt to work from home for up to a year. This period is extendable depending on
circumstances. Employees are provided access to the operating system in a safe and secure manner, thereby creating
a seamless office-like environment. A unique face recognition technology platform has been developed in partnership
with IIT, Delhi for this initiative.
Managerial responsibilities like client interaction, business reviews or training often requires travelling outside ones
neighbourhood limits. In order to support these employees, the Bank bears expenses for the young child and the
caregiver to accompany the woman employee on such outstation travel. This initiative will help our women managers to
balance their professional and motherhood responsibilities.
In another initiative, the Bank launched iTravelSafe, a mobile application, to support women employees. This app tracks
the location of women employees (subject to their consent) while commuting to and from work. On activation of the
tracking option, the app provides easy access to a distress signal through the emergency panic button. Its unique car
sharing feature also helps employees share a ride with colleagues.
Capturing the rich legacy of the ICICI Group, the Bank has launched I-museum, a digital museum, in the form of a
mobile app. The museum captures the theme of: Born out of history to create history. It chronicles the ICICI Groups
rich legacy and celebrates the institutions culture built by its great leaders over six decades. The museum presents the
organisations journey and its deep-rooted linkage with Indias economic growth and progress. The museum provides
employees a unique glimpse into the creation and growth of the ICICI Group.
In December 2015, Chennai faced unprecedented heavy rainfall which flooded several parts of the city. During this
period, the Bank made all efforts to ensure safety and well-being of its employees in the flood affected areas. Field
teams were deployed to ascertain the whereabouts of the employees who could not be contacted and support them
and their families in distress. The Bank ensured timely assistance to the local teams and their families by availing help
from the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Air Force for the rescue operations. The Bank extended salary advances and
medical help to all employees impacted by floods. Medical camps were set-up to administer prophylactic treatment to
the affected people.
The Bank accords high importance to initiatives which aim at improving the efficiency of employees.Structured handholding programmes for new employees in the frontline relationship and sales teams are conducted for improving
their productivity. In line with this, the Bank continues to leverage the internal role-linked and functional training
academies for its employees to provide the requisite knowledge and skills. Some of the initiatives like ICICI Sales
Academy, Probationary Officers Programme, Young Leaders Programme and the Business Leadership Programme
help sharpen the skillset of new recruits and focus on making them productive right from first day first hour. The
Sales Academy has been one of the Banks key strategic initiatives, ensuring the requisite number of ready and trained
front-end officers. The curriculum and pedagogy followed at the Sales Academy was revamped this year to enhance
focus on important products and regulations.
The Bank also introduced video-based learning modules for its employees. A new learning framework was developed
where content was re-designed to make it more interactive through audio-visual experience-based learning. The Bank
has upgraded its learning management system to host video based content. i-Studio, a custom-made video-conferencing
and web-casting tool, has been extensively used for learning sessions. The tool is also used for engaging with employees.
Given the geographical spread of branches and other work premises, i-Studio has been leveraged by the employee
relations managers to connect with teams on a real-time basis.
An interactive learning portal for the Probationary Officers (PO) Programme was made functional from the August 2015
batch. Its core feature was to ensure technology-based delivery of the PO Programme. The portal was designed to
enhance the learning experience using self-paced e-learning modules, gaming exercises, quizzes, Q&A forums, discussion

boards and webinar sessions. The portal can be accessed from a range of devices, including laptops, tablets and mobiles.
The programme content has been designed to facilitate a comprehensive learning using interactive modules and casestudies.
The Bank received the Employee Engagement Initiative of the Year award for 2016 at The Asian Bankers International
Excellence in Retail Financial Services 2016 Awards in Hong Kong. The Bank won the award for its unique approach to
hiring and professional development of POs and the implementation of an innovative and structured learning platform
for them.

Information Technology
At ICICI Bank, technology is an integral part of our business strategy serving multiple objectives and plays a key role
in promoting innovations in serving our customers. During fiscal 2016, the focus of the Banks IT strategy has been on
business alignment and engagement, innovation, stability and availability, information security, and risk and compliance.
The Bank continues to invest in advanced technologies and undertake effective utilisation of resources, thereby
delivering a technology architecture that is futuristic. This enables the Bank to provide a secure, superior, seamless and
uniform service experience to our customers across all channels. In order to further enhance the organise-wide focus
on leveraging technology and capitalising on opportunities in the digital space, the Bank has created a Technology and
Digital Group to be headed by a Chief Technology and Digital Officer, which will integrate all the technology teams as
well as the digital channels, business intelligence and analytics teams. The Technology and Digital Group will also be
responsible for incubating innovative projects and developing partnerships in the digital space.
The Bank made significant strides in mobile banking during fiscal 2016. Some important mobility-based solutions
comprise the following:
1. Revamped iMobile: The Bank has migrated its mobile banking application iMobile to a robust framework. The
application has been revamped to make it the most comprehensive banking application in the country. iMobile
currently offers more than 150 functionalities and is available across all mobile platforms. The first-of-its-kind
offerings integrated in the app enable the customers to enjoy the option of logging in through either their mobile pin
(MPIN) or personalised username, initiate a transaction before reaching the branch through Insta Banking, purchase
mutual funds and avail forex services, connect with the Banks call centre, avail of cardless cash withdrawal services
from an ATM, tag frequent transactions as favourites and receive alerts from Google Now and Touch ID (from Apple)
as an alternate authentication method for secured login.
2. Touch & Pay: The Bank has launched a retail payment initiative called Touch & Pay, which is a contactless mobile
payment solution for in-store payments from mobile phones by leveraging Host Card Emulation (HCE) technology.
This innovative technology emulates a payment card on a mobile device. The details of the card, however, are
stored on the Banks secure cloud server and not on the customers phone. Using these virtual cards, an ICICI Bank
customer can initiate electronic payments from NFC enabled smartphones by just waving his/her phone near a
contactless merchant terminal.
3. Quick Checkout: Quick checkout is a unique feature in merchant payments through digital channels where the
user can make payments without entering the user id/password. The user has to register for this service through
merchant sites and once registered, the user will not be asked the credentials (User id & Password) when making
a payment at the pre-registered merchant site. The authentication of the user happens through the unique identity
validation between merchant and the Bank. The users can also enable or disable this facility through net banking.
4. Rail ticket booking: ICICI Bank is Indias first bank to offer railway ticket booking to customers of any bank on its
website, in association with Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC).
5. Bulk Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) payments for corporates: This facility enables corporates to transfer
funds 24x7 using the IMPS platform provided by the National Payments Corporation of India. This facility provides
additional bank payment options to meet the payment cycles of corporates.

In addition, the Bank launched a range of technology-based products to offer more convenience to customers. Some of
these initiatives include Forex@click (a facility to purchase foreign exchange and travel card products 24x7), a dedicated
portal for the collection of central/state taxes, e-SOFTEX which enables software exporters to manage export reporting
to the authorities and doorstep banking for corporate customers which enables them to request collection and provide
disbursement instructions online.
To enhance fraud prevention measures, the Bank launched a real-time fraud monitoring tool for managing the fraud
on credit and debit cards. Big data and multi-channel campaign management have helped the Bank in campaigns,
management of real time offers, geospatial analytics and event-based marketing. The Bank continues to adopt state-ofthe-art technologies for infrastructure monitoring and data-centre optimisation to cater to evolving customer aspirations.
Additionally, the Bank has migrated its key systems (Core Banking System, Payment Gateway, Dealing Room Primary,
among others) to their latest versions enabling access to new features, enhanced security and better scalability.

Managements Discussion & Analysis


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The global economic environment remained subdued during fiscal 2016. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest
rates by 25 basis points in December 2015, while other advanced and emerging economies continued to pursue an
accommodative monetary policy. The U.S. Federal Reserve thereafter kept interest rates stable in the subsequent monetary
policy statement and indicated that the rate increase would be gradual. There was a slowdown in economic growth in
China to 6.9% in calendar year 2015 compared to 7.3% in calendar year 2014, and a depreciation of the Chinese currency.
Commodity prices continued to weaken given low demand and excess supply. The price of the benchmark Brent crude
fell from US$ 55 per barrel at end-March 2015 to a low of US$ 28 per barrel around mid-January 2016 but recovered
thereafter to US$ 40 per barrel at end-March 2016. Metal prices also declined during the year. These developments
led to significant volatility in global financial markets. Several emerging market economies saw a depreciation of their
currencies during the period.
In India, economic activity during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 showed a gradual improvement. Indias gross
domestic product grew by 7.5% during the first nine months of fiscal 2016, compared to growth of 7.4% during the first
nine months of fiscal 2015. As per industry-wise growth estimates (gross value added), the agriculture sector grew by
0.6%, the industrial sector by 7.4% and the services sector by 9.2% during the first nine months of fiscal 2016 compared
to 0.3%, 5.9% and 10.7%, respectively, during the corresponding period of fiscal 2015.
Inflation remained moderate during fiscal 2016. Retail inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), eased
from 5.3% in March 2015 to a low of 3.7% in July-August 2015, and increased subsequently to 4.8% in March 2016. Core
CPI inflation, excluding food and fuel products, increased from 4.2% in March 2015 to 4.7% in March 2016. Inflation, as
measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), remained negative through fiscal 2016 and was -0.9% in March 2016.
With inflation remaining within its target range, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the repo rate by 75 basis points during
fiscal 2016 with a 25 basis points reduction from 7.50% to 7.25% in June 2015 and another 50 basis points reduction to
6.75% in September 2015. This took the cumulative reduction in the repo rate since January 2015, when the policy rate
reduction cycle began, to 125 basis points. In April 2016, RBI has reduced the repo rate by a further 25 basis points to 6.50%.
Trends in merchandise trade remained muted during fiscal 2016. Exports declined by 15.6% to US$ 261.12 billion and
imports declined by 15.3% to US$ 379.60 billion. The decline was primarily due to continued weak global demand and low
global commodity prices. Indias Current Account Deficit (CAD) was at 1.4% of gross domestic product during the first nine
months of fiscal 2016. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) improved to US$ 33.66 billion during the first nine months of fiscal
2016 compared to US$ 24.80 billion during the corresponding period of fiscal 2015. There was a net outflow of investments
by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) of US$ 3.99 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2016, with a net outflow of US$
4.31 billion in equity markets and a net inflow of US$ 0.32 billion in debt markets. The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex declined
by 9.4% during fiscal 2016 to close at 25,342. The Rupee depreciated from ` 62.3 per U.S. dollar at March 31, 2015 to ` 66.4
per U.S. dollar at March 31, 2016. Yields on the benchmark 10-year government securities remained in the range of 7.7% to
7.8% for most part of the year but eased towards the end of the year to 7.4% at March 31, 2016.
During fiscal 2016, the government announced several policy measures. A composite cap on foreign investments was
introduced which is applicable across all sectors and has brought different kinds of foreign investments under a single
combined limit. Further, the list of economic activities eligible for foreign investment under the automatic route was
expanded. In the area of financial inclusion, apart from the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana which was announced in
fiscal 2015, the government announced several new schemes including pension and insurance schemes and a financial
scheme for micro, small and medium enterprises. A scheme to support start-ups was also announced. During the year,
the first 20 cities to be converted into Smart Cities were identified. With regard to the financial sector, the Indradhanush
scheme for public sector banks was announced. Key proposals announced in the Union Budget for fiscal 2017 included
a plan to introduce a Comprehensive Code on Resolution of Financial Firms which together with the Bankruptcy Code
is expected to provide a strong resolution framework for banks; operationalising the Bank Board Bureau; and allowing
foreign investment in the insurance and pension sectors under the automatic route.
With regard to trends in banking, non-food credit growth remained subdued during fiscal 2016. Growth moderated from
12.7% year-on-year at April 3, 2015 to 10.3% at April 1, 2016. Credit growth was mainly driven by the retail segment.
Based on sector-wise credit deployment, growth in credit to industry was 2.7%, services 9.1%, retail 19.4% and agriculture
15.3% year-on-year at March 18, 2016. Deposit growth in the banking system also remained muted in the range of 9-12%

92

Annual Report 2015-2016

during the year. Total deposits grew by 9.7% year-on-year at April 1, 2016 compared to a growth of 12.1% at April 3, 2015.
Demand deposits grew by 15.0% year-on-year at April 1, 2016 compared to a growth of 23.7% at April 3, 2015. Time
deposits grew by 9.1% year-on-year at April 1, 2016 compared to a growth of 10.9% at April 3, 2015.
The operating environment for the Indian corporate sector continued to remain challenging in view of the subdued global
scenario, gradual nature of the domestic economic recovery, continued weak corporate investment activity, delays and
shortfalls in cash flow generation from investments and high leverage. The decline in commodity prices had an impact
on borrowers in commodity-linked sectors, such as iron and steel. These conditions led to increasing levels of nonperforming loans for the Indian banking sector.
With regard to performance of the insurance sector, the first year retail premium underwritten in the life insurance sector
(on weighted received premium basis) grew by 8.1% to ` 440.76 billion during fiscal 2016 compared to ` 407.65 billion
in fiscal 2015. Gross premium of the non-life insurance sector (excluding specialised insurance institutions) grew by
13.6% to ` 915.72 billion during fiscal 2016 compared to ` 805.84 billion during fiscal 2015. The average assets under
management of mutual funds increased by 13.9% from ` 11,886.90 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to
` 13,534.43 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Some important regulatory measures announced during fiscal 2016 were:
In April 2015, RBI issued revised guidelines on priority sector lending, based on the recommendations of the internal
working group set up to revisit the priority sector lending guidelines. These revised priority sector guidelines are
applicable from fiscal 2016. The overall target for priority sector lending would continue to be 40.0% of adjusted net
bank credit. Sub-targets for direct and indirect lending to agriculture were combined and sub-targets of 8.0% for
lending to small and marginal farmers and 7.5% lending target to micro-enterprises were introduced. These subtargets are to be achieved in a phased manner by March 2017. Sectors qualifying for priority sector lending have
been broadened to include medium-size enterprises, social infrastructure and renewable energy. Priority sector
lending achievements will be evaluated on a quarterly average basis from fiscal 2017. According to the guidelines,
foreign banks with less than 20 branches will also now be required to meet priority sector lending targets of 40.0%
of adjusted net bank credit, on par with domestic banks and foreign banks with 20 or more branches by fiscal 2020.
Further, in July 2015, RBI directed banks to maintain direct lending to non-corporate farmers at the banking systems
average level for the last three years, failing which banks will attract penalties for the shortfall. The banking systems
average level will be notified at the beginning of each year. The target for fiscal 2016 was set at 11.51%;
In April 2015, RBI allowed banks to introduce an early withdrawal facility in term deposits as a distinguishing feature
for offering differential rates of interest. All term deposits of individuals of ` 1.5 million and below will have a
premature withdrawal facility. For other term deposits, customers have the option to choose between term deposits
either with or without premature withdrawal facility;
In May 2015, RBI allowed banks to spread the shortfall from the sale of non-performing assets to asset reconstruction
companies over a period of two years, in the event the sale value is lower than the net book value. This dispensation
is available only for non-performing assets sold up to March 31, 2016;
In May 2015, RBI issued draft guidelines on net stable funding ratio. According to the draft guidelines, the net stable
funding ratio is defined as the amount of available stable funding required to cover the liquidity requirements and
asset maturities coming up over the next year. Banks will be required to maintain a ratio of at least 100.0% on an
ongoing basis. These guidelines are expected to be applicable from January 1, 2018;
In May 2015, RBI introduced a framework for dealing with loan frauds. The guidelines relate to detection, reporting
and monitoring of fraud accounts. They prescribe continuous monitoring and red flagging of accounts based on
early warning signals for accounts above ` 500.0 million. Frauds have to be reported on RBIs central repository of
information on large credits for dissemination to other banks and decision-making by the joint lenders forum in
case of consortium or multiple banking arrangements. Restructuring or grant of additional facilities would not be
permitted in case of fraud or red flagged accounts;
In June 2015, RBI issued guidelines on the compensation of non-executive directors of private sector banks. According
to the guidelines, the board of directors, in consultation with its remuneration committee, should formulate and
adopt a comprehensive compensation policy for the non-executive directors (other than the part-time non-executive
chairman). In the policy, the board may provide for the payment of compensation in the form of a profit related

Annual Report 2015-2016

Managements Discussion & Analysis


commission, subject to the Bank making profits. Such compensation should not exceed ` 1.0 million per annum for
each director. Further, private sector banks have to obtain prior approval of RBI for paying remuneration to the parttime non-executive chairman;
In June 2015, RBI permitted banks to invest in long term infrastructure bonds issued by other banks subject to certain
conditions including (i) investments in these bonds cannot be considered as inter-bank assets for the purpose of the
calculation of net demand and time liabilities, (ii) they cannot be held under the held-to-maturity category, (iii) a banks
investment in these bonds cannot exceed 2.0% of its Tier 1 capital or 5.0% of the issue size, whichever is lower, and
(iv) aggregate holding in such bonds cannot exceed 10.0% of a banks total non-statutory liquidity ratio investments;
In June 2015, RBI issued guidelines on strategic debt restructuring. The guidelines provide for conversion of debt into
equity and acquisition of majority ownership of the borrower by banks. On conversion of debt into equity, banks are
allowed to continue with the current asset classification for an 18-month period. On transfer of ownership to a new sponsor,
the asset can be upgraded to the standard category and refinancing of the debt is allowed without such refinancing being
treated as a restructuring. However, in the event a new sponsor is not identified within the 18 month period, the Bank
has to revert to the earlier asset classification norm as was applicable prior to the stand-still in asset classification. In
September 2015, RBI expanded the eligibility for strategic debt restructuring to accounts where the corrective action plan
has failed. In February 2016, RBI allowed banks to classify the asset as standard on divesting 26.0% of the shares of the
company, lower than the earlier requirement of 51.0%. To avoid a sudden increase in provisioning in case the strategic
debt restructuring fails, RBI has directed banks to increase provisions on such accounts to up to 15.0% by the end of the
18 month stand-still period, to be made in equal installments over four quarters;
In July 2015, RBI issued guidelines on the discount rate for computing the present value of future cash flows of a
restructured account. The guideline prescribes that a rate equal to the actual interest rate charged to the borrower
before restructuring may be used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of determining the diminution of
fair value of the loan on restructuring;
In August 2015, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India issued regulations on registration of
corporate agents for the sale of insurance products where an agent can tie up with up to three insurance companies
each in life, non-life and health insurance sectors;
Under the Framework for Revitalising Distressed Assets in the economy, in September 2015, RBI issued revisions
to the guidelines on Joint Lenders Forum and corrective action plan. According to the revisions, the Joint Lenders
Forum can initiate strategic debt restructuring in the event the corrective action plan fails. All lenders would have
to provide additional finance once agreed by the Joint Lenders Forum unless they exit. An empowered group of
lenders would be formed which will approve the rectification/restructuring package under the corrective action plan.
In February 2016, a further revision was issued requiring that the corrective action plan be approved by 50% of the
lenders, as compared to the earlier requirement of 60% of lenders;
In October 2015, RBI issued directions to banks on the implementation of the Government of Indias Gold Monetisation
Scheme and the Sovereign Gold Bond Scheme;
In November 2015, RBI issued a revised framework for external commercial borrowings. The key features of
the revised framework include fewer restrictions on end-use, a liberal approach for Indian rupee denominated
borrowings where the currency risk is borne by the lender, an expanded list of overseas lenders to include sovereign
wealth funds, pension funds and insurance companies, and enhanced limits for small value external commercial
borrowings with minimum average maturity of three years from US$ 20 million to US$ 50 million. The framework
comprises three components or tracks: 1) medium-term foreign currency borrowing with minimum average
maturity of three to five years; 2) long-term foreign currency borrowing with minimum average maturity of 10 years
and 3) Indian rupee denominated borrowings with minimum average maturity of three to five years. Lending by
overseas branches and subsidiaries of Indian banks is permitted only for medium term borrowings. Further, in March
2016, RBI issued amendments to the framework and allowed infrastructure NBFCs, asset finance NBFCs and core
investment companies to raise ECBs under Track I of the framework with minimum average maturity period of five
years subject to 100% hedging;
In December 2015, RBI issued final guidelines on the computation of lending rates based on marginal cost of funds.
The Marginal Cost of funds based Lending Rate (MCLR) is applicable for loans made and credit limits renewed from
April 1, 2016. It is a tenor linked benchmark. The methodology for computing the marginal cost of funds based

94

Annual Report 2015-2016

lending rate comprises marginal cost of funds, negative carry on account of cash reserve ratio, operating costs and
tenor premium. The guideline has specified categories of loans which can be priced without linkage to the marginal
cost of funds based lending rate. Banks have to review and publish their marginal cost of funds based lending rate
every month on a pre-announced date for different maturities ranging from overnight rate to up to one year. The
periodicity of reset shall be one year or lower. Loans linked to the base rate can continue till repayment or renewal
with existing borrowers having the option to move to the marginal cost of funds based lending rate linked loan at
mutually acceptable terms. Earlier, banks were not permitted to extend fixed rate loans at a rate of interest lower
than the base rate. This restriction no longer applies in the MCLR framework;
During the three months ended December 31, 2015, RBI articulated the objective of early and conservative
recognition of stress and provisioning, held discussions with and asked a number of Indian banks to review certain
loan accounts and their classification over the three months ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended
March 31, 2016. As a result of the above factor, non-performing loans increased significantly in the banking system
during the second half of fiscal 2016. RBI also directed banks to make an additional provision of 10% during the year
ending March 31, 2017 in respect of restructured loan accounts highlighted by RBI;
In March 2016, RBI issued guidelines expanding the eligibility for common equity Tier 1 capital to include 45.0% of
revaluation reserves, which earlier qualified for inclusion in Tier 2 capital, and 75.0% of foreign currency translation
reserves. The guidelines further allowed recognition of deferred tax assets arising due to timing differences,
excluding accumulated losses, as Tier 1 capital up to 10.0% of a banks common equity Tier 1 capital, in line with
the guidelines of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS); and
In March 2016, the Ministry of Finance revised the methodology for determining interest rates on various small
savings schemes. As per the guidelines, interest rates of such savings schemes would be reset every quarter based
on G-sec yields of the previous three months.

Summary
Over the past two years, the domestic economic recovery has been gradual and the global economic environment has
become challenging. Fiscal 2016 witnessed a slowdown in global economic growth mainly on account of lower growth in
China and emerging market economies, divergence in global monetary policy and significant decline in commodity prices
including crude oil and metals. Due to the increased level of risks in the business environment, the Indian banking system in
general has experienced an increase in the level of additions to non-performing loans including slippages from restructured
loans. During three months ended December 31, 2015, RBI articulated the objective of early and conservative recognition of
stress and provisioning, held discussions with and asked a number of Indian banks to review certain loan accounts and their
classification over the three months ended December 31, 2015 and three months ended March 31, 2016, through its Asset
Quality Review. As a result of the above factors, non-performing loans of the Bank increased significantly in the second half
of fiscal 2016.
Profit before collective contingency and related reserve and tax decreased marginally from ` 158.20 billion in fiscal 2015
to ` 157.96 billion in fiscal 2016. The decrease in profit before collective contingency and related reserve was mainly due
to an increase in provisions for non-performing assets and a 10.3% increase in non-interest expenses, offset, in part, by
an 11.5% increase in net interest income and a 25.8% increase in non-interest income.
Net interest income increased by 11.5% from ` 190.40 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 212.24 billion in fiscal 2016 reflecting an
increase of 11.1% in the average volume of interest-earning assets.
Non-interest income increased by 25.8% from ` 121.76 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 153.22 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily
due to an increase in income from treasury-related activities and fee income. Income from treasury-related activities for
fiscal 2016 included gains of ` 33.74 billion from sale of stake in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited. Fee income increased by 6.4% from ` 82.87 billion in fiscal 2015 to
` 88.20 billion in fiscal 2016.
Non-interest expenses increased by 10.3% from ` 114.96 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 126.83 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily
due to an increase in non-employee related expenses.

Managements Discussion & Analysis


Provisions and contingencies (excluding collective contingency and related reserve and provision for tax) increased by
` 41.68 billion from ` 39.00 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 80.67 billion in fiscal 2016. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in provisions on non-performing assets. The net NPA ratio increased from 1.40% at March 31, 2015 to 2.67% at
March 31, 2016. Provisions for non-performing assets are likely to remain elevated in the near term.
The weak global economic environment, the sharp downturn in the commodity cycle and the gradual nature of the
domestic economic recovery has adversely impacted the borrowers in certain sectors such as iron and steel, mining,
power, rigs and cement. While the banksare working towards resolution of stress on certain borrowers in these sectors,
it may take some time for solutions to be worked out, given the weak operating and recovery environment.In view of the
above, the Bank, on a prudent basis, has created a collective contingency and related reserve of ` 36.00 billion towards
its exposures to these sectors.
The income tax expense (including wealth tax) decreased by 46.8% from ` 46.45 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 24.70 billion in
fiscal 2016 primarily due to lower applicable tax on sale of equity investments and set-off of carry forward capital losses
pertaining to earlier periods.
The profit after tax decreased by 13.0% from ` 111.75 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 97.26 billion in fiscal 2016.
Net-worth increased from ` 804.29 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 897.36 billion at March 31, 2016 primarily due to accretion
to reserves from profit for the year and creation of revaluation reserves on fixed assets. Total assets increased by 11.5%
from ` 6,461.29 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 7,206.95 billion at March 31, 2016. Total deposits increased by 16.6% from
` 3,615.63 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 4,214.26 billion at March 31, 2016. Savings account deposits increased by 16.9%
from ` 1,148.60 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 1,342.30 billion at March 31, 2016. Current account deposits increased
by 18.9% from ` 495.20 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 588.70 billion at March 31, 2016. Term deposits increased by
15.8% from ` 1,971.83 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 2,283.26 billion at March 31, 2016. The current and savings account
(CASA) ratio was 45.8% at March 31, 2016 compared to 45.5% at March 31, 2015. Total advances increased by 12.3%
from ` 3,875.22 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 4,352.64 billion at March 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in domestic
advances. Retail advances increased by 23.3% from ` 1,644.41 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 2,027.90 billion at March
31, 2016.
The Bank continued to expand its branch network in India. The branch network of the Bank in India increased from 4,050
branches at March 31, 2015 to 4,450 branches at March 31, 2016. The ATM network of the Bank increased from 12,451
ATMs at March 31, 2015 to 13,766 ATMs at March 31, 2016.
The Bank is subject to the Basel III capital adequacy guidelines stipulated by RBI. The total capital adequacy ratio of the
Bank at March 31, 2016 in accordance with RBI guidelines on Basel III was 16.64% with a Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of
13.09% as compared to 17.02% with a Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 12.78% at March 31, 2015.

Net interest income increased by 11.5% from ` 190.40 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 212.24 billion in fiscal 2016 reflecting an
increase of 11.1% in the average volume of interest-earning assets.
The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased by 29 basis points from 8.96% in fiscal 2015 to 8.67% in fiscal
2016. The cost of funds decreased by 32 basis points from 6.17% in fiscal 2015 to 5.85% in fiscal 2016. The interest

marginally by 1 basis point from 3.48% in fiscal 2015 to 3.49% in fiscal 2016.
The net interest margin on domestic operations decreased by 7 basis points from 3.90% in fiscal 2015 to 3.83% in fiscal
2016 primarily due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, offset, in part, by a decrease in the cost of funds.
The yield on interest-earning assets decreased primarily due to a decrease in the yield on advances and investments,
offset, in part, by an increase in the yield on other interest-earning assets. The cost of funds decreased primarily due to
a decrease in cost of term deposits and cost of borrowings.
Net interest margin of overseas branches increased from 1.65% in fiscal 2015 to 1.86% in fiscal 2016 primarily due to
a decrease in cost of funds. Cost of funds decreased primarily due to re-pricing/prepayment of high-cost borrowings.

Rural Infrastructure and Development Fund and other related deposits has been re-grouped from line item income on investments
to Others. Accordingly, figures of the previous periods have been re-grouped to conform to the current year presentation.

The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased primarily due to the following factors:
The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased by 29 basis points from 8.96% in fiscal 2015 to 8.67% in
fiscal 2016 primarily due to a decrease in yield on advances and yield on investments, offset, in part, by an increase
in proportion of average advances in total interest-earning assets. The yield on average advances decreased by 48
basis points from 9.95% in fiscal 2015 to 9.47% in fiscal 2016 and yield on average investments decreased by 26
basis points from 7.87% in fiscal 2015 to 7.61% in fiscal 2016.
The yield on advances was impacted by an increase in non-performing assets during fiscal 2016, as interest income
is not accrued on non-performing assets. The yield on domestic advances decreased by 78 basis points from 11.85%
in fiscal 2015 to 11.07% in fiscal 2016 primarily due to the above and a reduction in the base rate by 65 basis points
during fiscal 2016. The yield on overseas advances decreased by 10 basis points from 4.44% in fiscal 2015 to 4.34%
in fiscal 2016. However, the overall yield on average advances decreased by 48 basis points from 9.95% in fiscal
2015 to 9.47% in fiscal 2016 reflecting the positive impact of the increase in the proportion of domestic advances in
total advances.

Annual Report 2015-2016

The Reserve Bank of India reduced the repo rate by 125 basis points from 8.00% to 6.75% in four phases on January
15, 2015, March 4, 2015, June 2, 2015 and September 29, 2015. The Bank reduced its base rate by 65 basis points
from 10.00% to 9.35% in three phases - 25 basis points with effect from April 10, 2015, 5 basis points with effect from
June 26, 2015 and 35 basis points with effect from October 5, 2015.
The yield on average interest-earning investments decreased from 7.87% in fiscal 2015 to 7.61% in fiscal 2016 primarily
due to a decrease in the yield on Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) investments. The yield on SLR investments decreased
by 17 basis points from 8.01% in fiscal 2015 to 7.84% in fiscal 2016 primarily due to softening of yield on Government
securities. The yield on non-SLR investments decreased by 66 basis points from 7.49% in fiscal 2015 to 6.83% in fiscal
2016 primarily due to a decrease in yield on bonds and debentures, certificate of deposits, pass through certificates
(PTCs) and commercial paper reflecting softening of interest rates. In accordance with RBI circular dated July 16, 2015,
deposits in the Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) and other related deposits have been re-grouped from
investments to other assets. Figures for previous periods have also been re-grouped accordingly.
The above factors were offset, in part, by the following:
The yield on other interest-earning assets increased from 5.20% in fiscal 2015 to 5.49% in fiscal 2016 primarily due
to an increase in the yield on RIDF and other related deposits and a decrease in average term money lent from
overseas locations which is low yielding.
Interest on income tax refund was at ` 3.12 billion in fiscal 2016 (fiscal 2015: ` 2.71 billion). 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 cost of funds decreased by 32 basis points from 6.17% in fiscal 2015 to 5.85% in fiscal 2016 primarily due to the
following factors:
The cost of average deposits decreased from 6.18% in fiscal 2015 to 5.88% in fiscal 2016 primarily due to a decrease
in the cost of term deposits and an increase in proportion of CASA deposits. The cost of term deposits decreased
by 39 basis points from 8.25% in fiscal 2015 to 7.86% in fiscal 2016 primarily due to a decrease in cost of domestic
term deposits by 51 basis points from 8.61% in fiscal 2015 to 8.10% in fiscal 2016, offset, in part, by a decrease in
the proportion of overseas term deposits in total term deposits. The proportion of average CASA deposits in the
average deposits increased from 39.5% in fiscal 2015 to 40.7% in fiscal 2016.
The cost of borrowings decreased by 39 basis points from 6.16% in fiscal 2015 to 5.77% in fiscal 2016. The cost of
borrowings decreased primarily due to a decrease in the cost of call and term borrowings, cost of borrowing under
the Liquidity Adjustment Facility of RBI and an increase in foreign currency term borrowings which are lower cost.
While the net interest margin for fiscal 2016 was 3.49%, the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31,
2016 was 3.37%, reflecting primarily the impact of non-accrual of income on the higher level of non-performing assets.
Our interest income, yield on advances, net interest income and net interest margin are likely to continue to be impacted
going forward, due to the increase in non-performing assets, increased proportion of retail advances in total advances
and lending to higher rated corporates.

The average volume of interest-earning assets increased by 11.1% from ` 5,476.64 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 6,084.83
billion in fiscal 2016. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily on account of an increase in average
advances by ` 530.54 billion and average interest-earning investments by ` 51.55 billion.
Average advances increased by 14.8% from ` 3,579.93 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 4,110.47 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily
due to an increase in domestic advances.
Average interest-earning investments increased from ` 1,345.46 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 1,397.00 billion in fiscal 2016,
primarily due to an increase in SLR investments by 8.5% from ` 992.42 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 1,076.45 billion in
fiscal 2016, offset, in part, by a decrease in interest-earning non-SLR investments by 9.2% from ` 353.03 billion in fiscal
2015 to ` 320.55 billion in fiscal 2016. Average interest-earning non-SLR investments primarily include investments in
corporate bonds and debentures, PTCs, commercial papers, certificates of deposits and investments in liquid mutual
funds to deploy excess liquidity. Average interest-earning non-SLR investments decreased primarily due to a decrease
in investment in certificates of deposit, preference shares, bonds and debentures, mutual funds and PTCs, offset, in part,
by an increase in investment in commercial papers.
There was an increase in average other interest-earning assets by 4.7% from ` 551.25 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 577.36
billion in fiscal 2016 primarily due to an increase in deposits with the RIDF and other related deposits and balances with
RBI, offset, in part, by a decrease in call and term money lent.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 10.7% from ` 4,870.63 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 5,391.57 billion in fiscal
2016 on account of an increase of ` 380.03 billion in average deposits and an increase of ` 140.91 billion in average
borrowings.
Average deposits increased due to an increase in average CASA deposits by ` 193.46 billion and an increase in average
term deposits by ` 186.57 billion.
Average borrowings increased by 8.9% from ` 1,585.11 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 1,726.02 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily
due to an increase in term borrowings, bond borrowings and refinance borrowings, offset, in part, by a decrease in
borrowings under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility of RBI.

third party referral/distribution fees.
Fee income increased by 6.4% from ` 82.87 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 88.20 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily due to an increase
in income from transaction banking fees and third party referral fees, offset, in part, by a decrease in lending linked fees.

funds and security receipts issued by asset reconstruction companies.
Profit from treasury-related activities increased from ` 16.93 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 40.60 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily
due to gains on sale of stake in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company Limited amounting to ` 33.74 billion, offset, in part, by lower gains on government securities and other fixed
income positions and provisioning on security receipts.
Dividend from subsidiaries

employees on fixed term contracts and interns.
Depreciation
Depreciation on owned property increased by 8.9% from ` 6.24 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 6.79 billion in fiscal 2016 due to
an increase in fixed assets with higher depreciation rates. Depreciation on leased assets decreased from ` 0.35 billion in

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 14.7% from
` 60.87 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 69.83 billion in fiscal 2016. The increase in other administrative expenses was primarily
due to an increase in the Banks branch and ATM network and retail business volumes. The number of branches in India
increased from 4,050 at March 31, 2015 to 4,450 at March 31, 2016. The ATM network of the Bank increased from 12,451

Includes restructuring related provision.


All amounts have been rounded off to the nearest ` 10.0 million.

Provisions are made by the Bank on standard, sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates prescribed by RBI. Loss assets
and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are provided for/written off as required by RBI guidelines. For loans and
advances of overseas branches, provisions are made as per RBI regulations or host country regulations whichever is
higher. Provisions on retail non-performing loans are made at the borrower level in accordance with the retail assets
provisioning policy of the Bank, subject to the minimum provisioning levels prescribed by RBI. The specific provisions
on retail loans and advances held by the Bank are higher than the minimum regulatory requirement. Provision on loans
and advances restructured/rescheduled is made in accordance with the applicable RBI guidelines on restructuring of
loans and advances by banks. In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, the Bank maintains a general provision on
standard loans and advances at rates prescribed by RBI. For standard loans and advances in overseas branches, the
general provision is made at the higher of host country regulatory requirements and RBI requirements.
Provisions and contingencies (excluding collective contingency and related reserve and provisions for tax) increased from
` 39.00 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 80.67 billion in fiscal 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in provisions
on non-performing assets. Provision for non-performing and other assets increased from ` 31.41 billion in fiscal 2015
to ` 72.16 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily due to an increase in additions to non-performing assets in the corporate and
small and medium enterprises loan portfolio, including downgrades from the restructured loan portfolio. The provision
coverage ratio at March 31, 2016 including cumulative technical/prudential write-offs was 61.0%. Excluding cumulative
technical/prudential write-offs, the provision coverage ratio was 50.6%.

Annual Report 2015-2016

Provision for investments decreased from ` 2.98 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 1.71 billion in fiscal 2016. Provision on standard
assets decreased from ` 3.85 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 2.97 billion in fiscal 2016.
The weak global economic environment, the sharp downturn in the commodity cycle and the gradual nature of the
domestic economic recovery has adversely impacted the borrowers in certain sectors such as iron and steel, mining,
power, rigs and cement. While the banksare working towards resolution of stress on certain borrowers in these sectors,
it may take some time for solutions to be worked out, given the weak operating and recovery environment.In view of the
above, the Bank, on a prudent basis, has created a collective contingency and related reserve of ` 36.00 billion towards
its exposures to these sectors.

Tax expense
The income tax expense (including wealth tax) decreased by 46.8% from ` 46.45 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 24.70 billion
in fiscal 2016. The effective tax rate decreased from 29.4% in fiscal 2015 to 20.3% in fiscal 2016 primarily due to lower
applicable tax on sale of equity investments and set-off of carry forward capital losses pertaining to earlier periods.

Investments
Total investments increased by 1.4% from ` 1,581.29 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 1,604.12 billion at March 31, 2016
primarily due to an increase in investments in government securities by ` 50.38 billion, commercial paper by ` 18.91 billion
and pass through certificates by ` 10.64 billion, offset, in part, by a decrease in investments in bonds and debentures by
` 23.08 billion. At March 31, 2016, the Bank had an outstanding net investment of ` 7.91 billion in security receipts
including application money issued by asset reconstruction companies compared to ` 8.41 billion at March 31, 2015.
Advances
Net advances increased by 12.3% from ` 3,875.22 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 4,352.64 billion at March 31, 2016
primarily due to an increase in domestic advances. Domestic advances increased by 16.4% from ` 2,934.02 billion at
March 31, 2015 to ` 3,414.52 billion at March 31, 2016. Net advances of overseas branches, in US dollar terms, decreased
from US$ 15.1 billion at March 31, 2015 to US$ 14.2 billion at March 31, 2016. However, due to rupee depreciation from
` 62.50 per US dollar at March 31, 2015 to ` 66.26 per US dollar at March 31, 2016, the decrease in rupee terms was lower,
from ` 941.20 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 938.12 billion at March 31, 2016.
Fixed and other assets
Fixed assets (net block) increased by 60.3% from ` 47.26 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 75.76 billion at March 31, 2016
primarily due to revaluation of premises by ` 28.17 billion. Other assets increased from ` 534.48 billion at March 31, 2015
to ` 575.74 billion at March 31, 2016 primarily due to an increase in deferred tax assets and non-banking assets acquired in
satisfaction of claims, offset, in part, by a decrease in mark-to-market and receivables on foreign exchange and derivative
transactions. RIDF and other related deposits made in lieu of shortfall in directed lending requirements decreased from
` 284.51 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 280.66 billion at March 31, 2016. During fiscal 2016, the Bank acquired fixed assets
amounting to ` 17.22 billion in satisfaction of claims under debt-asset swap transactions with certain borrowers.

Borrowings
Borrowings increased by 1.4% from ` 1,724.18 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 1,748.08 billion at March 31, 2016 primarily
due to an increase in foreign currency bond borrowings, refinance borrowings and foreign currency term money
borrowing, offset, in part, by a decrease in borrowings from RBI under Liquidity Adjustment Facility. Borrowings of
overseas branches, in US dollar terms, decreased from US$ 15.30 billion at March 31, 2015 to US$ 14.70 billion at March
31, 2016. However, due to rupee depreciation from ` 62.50 per US dollar at March 31, 2015 to ` 66.26 per US dollar at March
31, 2016, borrowings of overseas branches, in rupee terms, increased by 2.3% from ` 953.97 billion at March 31, 2015 to

Other liabilities
Other liabilities increased by 9.5% from ` 317.19 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 347.25 billion at March 31, 2016 primarily
due to an increase in the collective contingencies and related reserve, offset, in part, by a decrease in mark-to-market
amount and payables on foreign exchange and derivatives transactions.
Equity share capital and reserves
Equity share capital and reserves increased from ` 804.29 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 897.36 billion at March 31, 2016
primarily due to accretion to reserves from profit for the year and creation of revaluation reserve of ` 28.17 billion on fixed
assets, offset, in part, by proposed dividend.

exchange contracts increased from ` 2,898.72 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 3,567.73 billion at March 31, 2016.
Claims against the Bank, not acknowledged as debts, represent demands made in certain tax and legal matters against
the Bank in the normal course of business and customer claims arising in fraud cases. In accordance with the Banks
accounting policy and Accounting Standard 29, the Bank has reviewed and classified these items as possible obligations
based on legal opinion/judicial precedents/assessment by the Bank. No provision in excess of provisions already made
in the financial statements is considered necessary.

Managements Discussion & Analysis


The Bank enters into foreign exchange contracts in its normal course of business, to exchange currencies at a prefixed price at a future date. This item represents the notional principal amount of such contracts, which are derivative
instruments. With respect to the transactions entered into with its customers, the Bank generally enters into off-setting
transactions in the inter-bank market. This results in generation of a higher number of outstanding transactions, and
hence a large value of gross notional principal of the portfolio, while the net market risk is lower.
As a part of project financing and commercial banking activities, the Bank has issued guarantees to support regular
business activities of clients. These generally represent irrevocable assurances that the Bank will make payments in the
event that the customer fails to fulfill its financial or performance obligations. Financial guarantees are obligations to
pay a third party beneficiary where a customer fails to make payment towards a specified financial obligation, including
advance payment guarantee. Performance guarantees are obligations to pay a third party beneficiary where a customer
fails to perform a non-financial contractual obligation. The guarantees are generally issued for a period not exceeding
ten years. The credit risks associated with these products, as well as the operating risks, are similar to those relating to
other types of financial instruments. Cash margins available to reimburse losses realised under guarantees amounted to
` 77.78 billion at March 31, 2016 compared to ` 67.47 billion at March 31, 2015. Other property or security may also be
available to the Bank to cover potential losses under guarantees.
The Bank is obligated under a number of capital contracts. Capital contracts are job orders of a capital nature, which have
been committed. Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account in domestic operations
aggregated to ` 5.71 billion at March 31, 2016 compared to ` 5.39 billion at March 31, 2015.

Capital resources
The Bank actively manages its capital to meet regulatory norms, current and future business needs and the risks in
its businesses. The capital management framework of the Bank is administered by the Finance Group and the Risk
Management Group under the supervision of the Board and the Risk Committee. The capital adequacy position and
assessment is reported to the Board and the Risk Committee periodically.
Regulatory capital
The Bank is subject to the Basel III guidelines issued by RBI, effective from April 1, 2013, which are being implemented
in a phased manner by March 31, 2019 as per the transitional arrangement provided by RBI for Basel III implementation.
The Basel III rules on capital consist of measures for improving the quality, consistency and transparency of capital,
enhancing risk coverage, introducing a supplementary leverage ratio, reducing pro-cyclicality and promoting countercyclical buffers and addressing systemic risk and inter-connectedness.
At March 31, 2016, the Bank was required to maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier-1 (CET1) capital ratio of 6.13%,
minimum Tier-1 capital ratio of 7.63% and minimum total capital ratio of 9.63%. The minimum total capital requirement
includes a capital conservation buffer of 0.63%. Under Pillar 1 of RBI guidelines on Basel III, the Bank follows the
standardised approach for measurement of credit risk, standardised duration method for measurement of market risk
and basic indicator approach for measurement of operational risk.
On March 1, 2016, RBI made certain amendments to the treatment of certain balance sheet items for the purposes of
determining banks regulatory capital. As per the revised guidelines, Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (FCTR) and
revaluation reserve are allowed to be considered under CET1 capital at a discount of 25% and 55% respectively. Further,
aligning RBI guidelines with the Basel III guidelines, deferred tax assets arising due to timing differences are allowed to
be recognised as CET1 capital up to 10% of a banks CET1 capital and risk weighted at 250%, as compared to the earlier
requirement of deduction of the entire deferred tax assets from CET1 capital.
Further, as per the framework issued for Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) in July 2014, RBI, on August 31,
2015, categorised ICICI Bank as a D-SIB in bucket 1 (lowest bucket) with an additional CET1 requirement as a percentage
of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) of 0.2%. This additional requirement is applicable from April 1, 2016 in a phased manner
and would become fully effective from April 1, 2019. The additional CET1 requirement will be in addition to the capital
conservation buffer. The additional CET1 requirement for fiscal 2017 will be 0.05% of RWA.
The following table sets forth the capital adequacy ratios computed in accordance with Basel III guidelines of RBI at March
31, 2015 and March 31, 2016.

Movement in the capital funds and risk weighted assets from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 as per Basel III norms
Capital funds (net of deductions) increased by ` 82.51 billion from ` 927.44 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 1,009.95 billion at
March 31, 2016 primarily due to inclusion of retained earnings for fiscal 2016, amendments in guidelines for recognition of
FCTR at a discount of 25% and revaluation reserve at a discount of 55% in CET1 capital, risk weighting of deferred tax assets
at 250% instead of full deduction from Tier-1 capital and lower deduction for investment in subsidiaries due to repatriation
of capital from an overseas banking subsidiary and sale of shareholding in insurance subsidiaries, offset, in part, by a
decrease in the eligible amount of non-common equity capital due to application of Basel III grandfathering rules.
Credit risk RWA increased by ` 521.63 billion from ` 4,741.56 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 5,263.19 billion at March 31,
2016 primarily due to an increase of ` 534.98 billion in RWA for on-balance sheet assets, offset, in part, by a decrease of
` 13.35 billion in RWA for off-balance sheet assets.
Market risk RWA decreased by ` 23.82 billion from ` 334.23 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 310.41 billion at March 31, 2016
primarily due to a decrease in interest rate related positions.
Operational risk RWA increased by ` 124.36 billion from ` 373.17 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 497.53 billion at March 31,
2016. The operational risk capital charge is computed based on 15% of the average of the previous three financial years
gross income and is revised on an annual basis at June 30. RWA is arrived at by multiplying the capital charge by 12.5.
Internal assessment of capital
The capital management framework of the Bank includes a comprehensive internal capital adequacy assessment process
conducted annually, which determines the adequate level of capitalisation necessary to meet regulatory norms and
current and future business needs, including under stress scenarios. The internal capital adequacy assessment process is
undertaken at both the standalone bank level and the consolidated group level. The internal capital adequacy assessment
process encompasses capital planning for a four-year time horizon, identification and measurement of material risks and
the relationship between risk and capital.
The capital management framework is complemented by the risk management framework, which covers the policies,
processes, methodologies and frameworks established for the management ofmaterial risks. Stress testing, which is a
key aspect of the internal capital adequacy assessment process and the risk management framework, provides an insight
into the impact of extreme but plausible scenarios on the Banks risk profile and capital position. Based on the stress
testing framework approved by the Board, the Bank conducts stress tests on various portfolios and assesses the impact

on the capital ratios and the adequacy of capital buffers for current and future periods. The Bank periodically assesses
and refines its stress testing framework in an effort to ensure that the stress scenarios capture material risks as well as
reflect possible extreme market moves that could arise as a result of market conditions and the operating environment.
The business and capital plans and the stress testing results of certain key group entities are integrated into the internal
capital adequacy assessment process.
Based on the internal capital adequacy assessment process, the Bank determines the level of capital that needs to be
maintained by considering the following in an integrated manner:

strategic focus, business plan and growth objectives;

regulatory capital requirements as per RBI guidelines;

assessment of material risks and impact of stress testing;

future strategy with regard to investments or divestments in subsidiaries; and

evaluation of options to raise capital from domestic and overseas markets, as permitted by RBI from time to time.

The Bank continues to monitor relevant developments and believes that its current robust capital adequacy position and
demonstrated track record of access to domestic and overseas markets for capital raising will enable it to maintain the
necessary levels of capital as required by regulations while continuing to grow its business.

ASSET QUALITY AND COMPOSITION


Loan concentration
The Bank follows a policy of portfolio diversification and evaluate its total financing exposure to a particular industry in
light of its forecasts of growth and profitability for that industry. The Banks Credit Risk Management Group monitors all
major sectors of the economy and specifically tracks industries in which the Bank has credit exposures. The Bank monitors
developments in various sectors to assess potential risks in our portfolio and new business opportunities. The Banks policy
is to limit its exposure to any particular industry, except for the retail finance segment, to 15.0% of its total exposure.

The Banks capital allocation framework is focused on higher growth in retail finance segment and lower growth in
corporate lending with an increase in the proportion of higher rated exposures. Given the focus on the above priorities,
gross retail finance advances increased by 22.7% in fiscal 2016 compared to an increase of 12.8% in total gross advances.
As a result, the share of gross retail finance advances increased from 43.5% of gross advances at March 31, 2015 to
47.3% of gross advances at March 31, 2016. Further, the aggregate net increase in advances to power, roads, ports,
telecom, urban development & other infrastructure, iron/steel & products, metal & products (excluding iron & steel) and
mining sectors was primarily in the A- and above category based on the Banks internal ratings. The increase in advances
to these sectors also included the impact of currency depreciation between March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, on the
rupee equivalent of foreign currency denominated advances made by overseas branches of the Bank.

Directed Lending
RBI requires banks to lend to certain sectors of the economy. Such directed lending comprises priority sector lending
and export credit.
Priority Sector Lending and Investment
RBI guidelines on priority sector lending require banks to lend 40.0% of their Adjusted Net Bank Credit (ANBC), to fund
certain types of activities carried out by specified borrowers. The definition of ANBC includes bank credit in India adjusted
by bills rediscounted with RBI and other approved financial institutions and certain investments and is computed with
reference to the outstanding amount at March 31 of the previous year as prescribed by RBI guidelines Master Circular
- Priority Sector Lending - Targets and Classification. Further, RBI allowed loans extended in India against incremental
foreign currency non-resident (bank)/non-resident external deposits from July 26, 2013 and outstanding at March 7, 2014
to be excluded from ANBC. In May 2014, RBI issued guidelines allowing banks to include the outstanding investments
in Rural Infrastructure Development Fund and other specified funds at March 31 of the fiscal year to be classified as
indirect agriculture and count towards the overall priority sector target achievement. Such investments at March 31
of the preceding year are included in the ANBC which forms the base for computation of the priority sector and subsegment lending requirements. In fiscal 2015, RBI allowed banks to issue long-term bonds for financing infrastructure and

low-cost housing. The amount raised by way of these bonds is permitted to be excluded from the ANBC for the purpose
of computing priority sector lending targets.
The priority sectors include categories such as agriculture, micro and small enterprises, education, housing and other
sectors as prescribed by RBIs Master Circular on Priority Sector Lending - Targets and Classification. Out of the overall
target of 40.0%, banks are required to lend a minimum of 18.0% of their ANBC to the agriculture sector and the balance
to certain specified sectors. Banks are also required to lend 10.0% of their ANBC, to certain borrowers under the weaker
section category.
In April 2015, RBI issued revised guidelines on priority sector lending. Under the revised guidelines, the overall target
for priority sector lending continues to be 40% of the ANBC; sub-targets for direct and indirect lending to agriculture
have been combined; and sub-targets of 8.0% for lending to small & marginal farmers and 7.5% lending target to microenterprises have been introduced. These sub-targets are to be achieved in a phased manner by March 2017. Sectors
qualifying for priority sector lending have been broadened to include medium enterprises, social infrastructure and
renewable energy. Priority sector lending achievement would be evaluated on a quarterly average basis from fiscal 2017
instead of only at the year-end. Further, in July 2015, RBI has directed banks to maintain direct lending to non-corporate
farmers at the banking systems average level for the last three years, failing which banks will attract penalties for shortfall.
RBI would notify the banks of the banking systems average level at the beginning of each year. RBI has notified a target
level of 11.57% of ANBC for this purpose for fiscal 2016. RBI has also directed banks to maintain lending to borrowers
who constituted the direct agriculture lending category under the earlier guidelines.
The Bank is required to comply with the priority sector lending requirements prescribed by RBI from time to time. The
shortfall in the amount required to be lent to the priority sectors and weaker sections may be required to be deposited in
funds with government sponsored Indian development banks like the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development,
the Small Industries Development Bank of India, National Housing Bank, MUDRA Limited and other financial institutions
as decided by RBI from time to time, based on the allocations made by RBI. These deposits have a maturity of up to seven
years and carry interest rates lower than market rates. At March 31, 2016, the Banks total investment in such bonds was
` 280.66 billion, which was fully eligible for consideration in overall priority sector achievement.
The Banks priority sector lending increased by 16.1% from ` 1,130.07 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 1,311.90 billion at
March 31, 2016, constituting 40.8% (March 31, 2015: 41.0%) of ANBC against the requirement of 40.0% of ANBC. The
qualifying total agriculture loans increased from ` 332.67 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 545.84 billion at March 31, 2016,
constituting 17.0% (March 31, 2015: 12.1%) of ANBC against the requirement of 18.0%. The advances to weaker sections
increased from ` 94.89 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 204.35 billion at March 31, 2016 constituting 6.3% (March 31, 2015:
3.4%) of ANBC against the requirement of 10.0% of ANBC. Lending to small and marginal farmers was ` 125.51 billion
constituting 3.9% of ANBC against the requirement of 7.0% of ANBC. The lending to micro enterprises was ` 217.85
billion constituting 6.8% of ANBC against the requirement of 7.0% of ANBC.

Classification of loans
The Bank classifies its assets as performing and non-performing in accordance with RBI guidelines. Under RBI guidelines,
an asset is 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, if the account remains overdue for more than 90 days.
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 RBI guidelines, the amount
outstanding in the host country is classified as non-performing.
RBI 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.

110

Annual Report 2015-2016

RBI also has separate guidelines for restructured loans. Upto March 31, 2015, a fully secured standard asset could be
restructured by re-schedulement 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 non-performing 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-schedulement 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.

From fiscal 2012, the Indian economy experienced a slowdown in growth, particularly in capital investments; high interest
rates due to high inflation; and significant currency depreciation. Indian companies experienced a decline in sales and
profit growth and also an elongation of working capital cycles and a high level of receivables. Given the concerns over
growth, companies found it difficult to access other sources of funding, resulting in high leverage. As a result, the Indian
banking sector, including the Bank, experienced a rise in non-performing assets and restructured loans. Over the past two
years, the domestic economic recovery has been gradual and the global economic environment has become challenging.
Fiscal 2016 witnessed a slowdown in global economic growth mainly on account of lower growth in China and emerging
market economies, divergence in global monetary policy and significant decline in commodity prices including crude
oil and metals. Due to the increased level of risks in the business environment, the Indian banking system in general has
experienced an increase in the level of additions to non-performing loans including slippages from restructured loans
into non-performing status. During three months ended December 31, 2015, RBI articulated the objective of early and
conservative recognition of stress and provisioning, held discussions with and asked a number of Indian banks to review
certain loan accounts and their classification over the three months ended December 31, 2015 and three months ended
March 31, 2016, through its Asset Quality Review. As a result of the above factors, non-performing loans of the Bank
increased significantly in the second half of fiscal 2016.

Managements Discussion & Analysis


In fiscal 2016, the Gross additions to NPAs was ` 171.13 billion including slippages of ` 53.00 billion from the restructured
loan portfolio. In fiscal 2016, the Bank recovered/upgraded non-performing assets amounting to ` 21.84 billion and
written-off/sold non-performing assets amounting to ` 34.50 billion. As a result, gross NPAs (net of write-offs, interest
suspense and derivatives income reversal) of the Bank increased from ` 152.42 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 267.21
billion at March 31, 2016.
Net NPAs increased from ` 63.25 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 132.97 billion at March 31, 2016. The ratio of net NPAs to
net customer assets increased from 1.40% at March 31, 2015 to 2.67% at March 31, 2016. During fiscal 2016, the Bank
wrote-off NPAs, including retail NPAs, of an aggregate amount of ` 30.05 billion compared to ` 17.03 billion during fiscal
2015.
The provision coverage ratio at March 31, 2016 including cumulative technical/prudential write-offs was 61.0%. Excluding
cumulative technical/prudential write-offs, the provision coverage ratio was 50.6%.

The gross non-performing assets increased from ` 152.42 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 267.21 billion at March 31, 2016
primarily due to additions in non-performing assets in iron/steel and products, construction and power sectors.
At March 31, 2016, net non-performing loans in the retail portfolio were 0.61% of net retail loans compared to 0.60% at
March 31, 2015.
The gross outstanding loans to borrowers whose facilities have been restructured decreased from ` 119.46 billion at
March 31, 2015 to ` 93.13 billion at March 31, 2016. During fiscal 2016, the Bank restructured loans of borrowers classified
as standard, as well as made additional disbursements to borrowers whose loans had been restructured in prior years,
aggregating ` 29.47 billion, as compared to ` 53.69 billion in fiscal 2015. Further, during fiscal 2016, restructured standard

loans amounting to ` 53.00 billion slipped into the non-performing category as compared to slippages of ` 45.29 billion
during fiscal 2015. The net outstanding loans to borrowers whose facilities have been restructured decreased from
` 110.17 billion at March 31, 2015 to ` 85.73 billion at March 31, 2016.
In fiscal 2016, RBI issued guidelines on Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) under which conversion of debt into equity
and acquisition of majority ownership of the borrower by banks is allowed. At March 31, 2016 the Bank had outstanding
SDR loans of ` 29.33 billion comprising primarily loans already classified as non-performing loans or restructured loans.
Further, in fiscal 2015, RBI had issued guidelines permitting banks to refinance long-term project loans to infrastructure
and other core industries at periodic intervals without such refinancing being considered as restructuring. Accordingly,
the outstanding portfolio of such loans for which refinancing under the 5/25 scheme has been implemented was ` 42.39
billion at March 31, 2016.
The Banks aggregate net investments in security receipts including application money issued by asset reconstruction
companies were ` 7.91 billion at March 31, 2016 as compared to ` 8.41 billion at March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2016, the total general provision held against standard assets including general provision on restructured
assets was ` 26.58 billion.
There are uncertainties in respect of certain sectors due to the weak global economic environment, sharp downturn in the
commodity cycle, gradual nature of the domestic economic recovery and high leverage. The key sectors that have been
impacted include power, mining, iron and steel, cement and rigs. At March 31, 2016, the Banks exposure (comprising
fund-based limits and non-fund based outstanding) to companies internally rated below investment grade (excluding
borrowers classified as non-performing or restructured) was ` 119.60 billion (1.3% of the Banks total exposure) in power
sector, ` 90.11 billion (1.0%) in mining sector, ` 77.76 billion (0.8%) in iron & steel sector, ` 66.43 billion (0.7%) in cement
sector and ` 25.13 billion (0.3%) in rigs sector. Further, the Banks exposure (comprising fund-based limits and non-fund
based outstanding) to promoter entities internally rated below investment grade where the underlying is partly linked to
these sectors was ` 61.62 billion (0.7%). In view of the uncertainties relating to these sectors and the time that it may take
to resolve exposures to these sectors, the Bank on a prudent basis made a collective contingency and related reserve
of ` 36.00 billion towards its exposures to these sectors. This reserve is over and above the provisions required for nonperforming and restructured loans as per RBI guidelines. There can be no assurance that this reserve would be adequate
to cover any future provisioning requirements in respect of these exposures or that non-performing loans will not arise
from other sectors.

Segment information
RBI in its guidelines on segmental reporting has stipulated specified business segments and their definitions, for the
purposes of public disclosures on business information for banks in India.
The standalone segmental report for fiscal 2016, based on the segments identified and defined by RBI, has been presented
as follows:
Retail Banking includes exposures of the Bank, which satisfy the four qualifying criteria of regulatory retail portfolio
as stipulated by RBI guidelines on the Basel III framework.
Wholesale Banking includes all advances to trusts, partnership firms, companies and statutory bodies, by the Bank
which are not included in the Retail Banking segment, as per RBI guidelines for the Bank.
Treasury includes the entire investment portfolio of the Bank.
Other Banking includes leasing operations and other items not attributable to any particular business segment of the
Bank.
Framework for transfer pricing
All liabilities are transfer priced to a central treasury unit, which pools all funds and lends to the business units at
appropriate rates based on the relevant maturity of assets being funded after adjusting for regulatory reserve requirement
and directed lending requirements.

Managements Discussion & Analysis


Retail banking segment
The profit before tax of the retail banking segment increased from ` 27.24 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 38.98 billion in fiscal
2016 due to an increase in net interest income and non-interest income, offset, in part, by an increase in non-interest
expenses and higher provisions.
Net interest income increased by 28.7% from ` 71.42 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 91.91 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily due to
growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in average current account and savings account deposits.
Non-interest income increased by 14.6% from ` 42.77 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 49.02 billion in fiscal 2016, primarily due
to a higher level of loan processing fees, third party product distribution fees, fees from the credit cards business and
transaction banking fees.
Non-interest expenses increased by 13.7% from ` 86.15 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 97.97 billion in fiscal 2016, primarily due
to an increase in the retail lending business and expansion in the branch network. Provision charge increased from ` 0.80
billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 3.99 billion in fiscal 2016.
Wholesale banking segment
The wholesale banking segment incurred a loss of ` 12.45 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily due to an increase in provisions.
Net interest income decreased by 1.0% from ` 84.47 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 83.61 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily due
to the higher additions to non-performing loans, on which interest income is not accrued, offset, in part, by an increase
in net interest income on account of an increase in the portfolio size. Provisions increased from ` 35.39 billion in fiscal
2015 to ` 108.15 billion in fiscal 2016 primarily due to an increase in additions to non-performing assets and creation of
a collective contingency and related reserve of ` 36.00 billion on a prudent basis during quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Treasury segment
The profit before tax of the treasury segment increased from ` 64.50 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 90.97 billion in fiscal 2016
primarily due to an increase in non-interest income. The non-interest income was higher primarily due to profit on sale of
stakes in subsidiaries, higher exchange rate gains on repatriation of retained earnings from overseas branches and higher
gains on government securities and other fixed income securities.
Other banking segment
The profit before tax of the other banking segment increased from ` 4.22 billion in fiscal 2015 to ` 4.46 billion in fiscal 2016
primarily due to higher net interest income.

SCHEDULE 17
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overview
ICICI Bank Limited (ICICI Bank or the Bank), incorporated in Vadodara, India is a publicly held banking company engaged
in providing a wide range of banking and financial services including commercial banking and treasury operations. ICICI
Bank is a banking company governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The Bank also has overseas branches in
Bahrain, China, Dubai, Hong Kong, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Singapore, South Africa and United States of America and Offshore
Banking units.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with requirements prescribed under the Third Schedule
of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The accounting and reporting policies of ICICI Bank used in the preparation of
these financial statements conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP), the guidelines
issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time and the Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 to the extent applicable
and practices generally prevalent in the banking industry in India. The Bank follows the historical cost convention and the
accrual method of accounting, except in the case of interest income on non-performing assets (NPAs) and loans under
strategic debt restructuring (SDR) scheme of RBI where it is recognised upon realisation.
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that are considered
in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements
and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in
the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
1. Revenue recognition

a) Interest income is recognised in the profit and loss account as it accrues except in the case of non-performing
assets (NPAs) where it is recognised upon realisation, as per the income recognition and asset classification
norms of RBI. Further, the interest income on loan accounts where restructuring has been approved by the Bank
under SDR scheme of RBI is recognised upon realisation.

b) Income from finance leases is calculated by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the net investment
outstanding on the lease over the primary lease period. Finance leases entered into prior to April 1, 2001 have
been accounted for as per the Guidance Note on Accounting for Leases issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI). The finance leases entered subsequent to April 1, 2001 have been accounted for as
per Accounting Standard 19 Leases.

c) Income on discounted instruments is recognised over the tenure of the instrument on a constant yield basis.

d) Dividend income is accounted on accrual basis when the right to receive the dividend is established.

e) Loan processing fee is accounted for upfront when it becomes due.

f) Project appraisal/structuring fee is accounted for on the completion of the agreed service.

g) Arranger fee is accounted for as income when a significant portion of the arrangement/syndication is completed.

h) Commission received on guarantees issued is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the guarantee.

i)

The annual/renewal fee on credit cards is amortised on a straight line basis over one year.

j)

All other fees are accounted for as and when they become due.

k) N
 et income arising from sell-down/securitisation of loan assets prior to February 1, 2006 has been recognised
upfront as interest income. With effect from February 1, 2006, net income arising from securitisation of loan
assets is amortised over the life of securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle/special purpose
entity to which the assets are sold. Net income arising from sale of loan assets through direct assignment with
recourse obligation is amortised over the life of underlying assets sold and net income from sale of loan assets
through direct assignment, without any recourse obligation, is recognised at the time of sale. Net loss arising on
account of the sell-down/securitisation and direct assignment of loan assets is recognised at the time of sale.

l)

The Bank deals in bullion business on a consignment basis. The difference between price recovered from
customers and cost of bullion is accounted for at the time of sales to the customers. The Bank also deals in
bullion on a borrowing and lending basis and the interest paid/received is accounted on accrual basis.

2. Investments

Investments are accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines on investment classification and valuation
as given below.

1. A
 ll investments are classified into Held to Maturity, Available for Sale and Held for Trading. Reclassifications, if
any, in any category are accounted for as per RBI guidelines. Under each classification, the investments are further
categorised as (a) government securities, (b) other approved securities, (c) shares, (d) bonds and debentures, (e)
subsidiaries and joint ventures and (f) others.

2. Held to Maturity securities are carried at their acquisition cost or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over
the face value. Any premium over the face value of fixed rate and floating rate securities acquired is amortised
over the remaining period to maturity on a constant yield basis and straight line basis respectively.

3. Available for Sale and Held for Trading securities are valued periodically as per RBI guidelines. Any premium
over the face value of fixed rate and floating rate investments in government securities, classified as Available
for Sale, is amortised over the remaining period to maturity on constant yield basis and straight line basis
respectively. Quoted investments are valued based on the trades/quotes on the recognised stock exchanges,
subsidiary general ledger account transactions, price list of RBI or prices declared by Primary Dealers Association
of India jointly with Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association (FIMMDA), periodically.

The market/fair value of unquoted government securities which are in the nature of Statutory Liquidity Ratio
(SLR) securities included in the Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories is as per the rates published
by FIMMDA. The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities, including Pass Through Certificates,
wherever linked to the Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) rates, is computed with a mark-up (reflecting associated credit
risk) over the YTM rates for government securities published by FIMMDA.

Unquoted equity shares are valued at the break-up value, if the latest balance sheet is available, or at ` 1, as per
RBI guidelines.

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, if any, being
unrealised, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided for. The depreciation on securities acquired by way of
conversion of outstanding loans is fully provided for. Non-performing investments are identified based on the
RBI guidelines.

Depreciation on equity shares acquired and held by the Bank under SDR scheme is provided over a period of
four calendar quarters from the date of conversion of debt into equity in accordance with the RBI guidelines.

4. T
 reasury bills, commercial papers and certificate of deposits being discounted instruments, are valued at carrying
cost.

5. The units of mutual funds are valued at the latest repurchase price/net asset value declared by the mutual fund.

Schedules

forming part of the Accounts (Contd.)


6. C
 osts including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition, are charged
to the profit and loss account. Cost of investments is computed based on the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method.

7. E
 quity investments in subsidiaries/joint ventures are categorised as Held to Maturity in accordance with
RBI guidelines. The Bank assesses these investments for any permanent diminution in value and appropriate
provisions are made.

8. P
 rofit/loss on sale of investments in the Held to Maturity category is recognised in the profit and loss account
and profit is thereafter appropriated (net of applicable taxes and statutory reserve requirements) to Capital
Reserve. Profit/loss on sale of investments in Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories is recognised
in the profit and loss account.

9. M
 arket repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions
respectively in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. The transactions with RBI under Liquidity Adjustment
Facility (LAF) are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions.

10. Broken period interest (the amount of interest from the previous interest payment date till the date of purchase/
sale of instruments) on debt instruments is treated as a revenue item.

11. At the end of each reporting period, security receipts issued by the asset reconstruction companies are valued in
accordance with the guidelines applicable to such instruments, prescribed by RBI from time to time. Accordingly,
in cases where the cash flows from security receipts issued by the asset reconstruction companies are limited
to the actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the concerned scheme, the Bank
reckons the net asset value obtained from the asset reconstruction company from time to time, for valuation of
such investments at each reporting period end. The security receipts which are outstanding and not redeemed
as at the end of the resolution period are treated as loss assets and are fully provided for.

12. The Bank follows trade date method of accounting for purchase and sale of investments, except for government
of India and state government securities where settlement date method of accounting is followed in accordance
with RBI guidelines.

13. The Bank undertakes short sale transactions in dated central government securities in accordance with RBI
guidelines. The short positions are categorised under HFT category and are marked to market. The mark-tomarket loss is charged to profit and loss account and gain, if any, is ignored as per RBI guidelines.

3. Provision/write-offs on loans and other credit facilities


The Bank classifies its loans and investments, including at overseas branches and overdues arising from crystallised
derivative contracts, into performing and NPAs in accordance with RBI guidelines. 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 the extant RBI guidelines, are classified as NPAs to the extent of amount
outstanding in the host country. Further, NPAs are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the
criteria stipulated by RBI.

In the case of corporate loans and advances, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates
prescribed by RBI. Loss assets and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are provided/written-off as per the
extant RBI guidelines. For loans and advances booked in overseas branches, which are standard as per the extant
RBI guidelines but are classified as NPAs based on host country guidelines, provisions are made as per the host
country regulations. For loans and advances booked in overseas branches, which are NPAs as per the extant RBI
guidelines and as per host country guidelines, provisions are made at the higher of the provisions required under
RBI regulations and host country regulations. Provisions on homogeneous retail loans and advances, subject to
minimum provisioning requirements of RBI, are assessed at a borrower level, on the basis of the ageing of the loans
in the non-performing category. In respect of loans classified as fraud, the entire amount, without considering the
value of security, is provided for over a period of four quarters starting from the quarter in which fraud has been
detected. In accounts where there has been delay in reporting the fraud to the RBI, the entire amount is provided
immediately. In respect of borrowers classified as non-cooperative borrowers, willful defaulters and NPAs covered
under distressed assets framework of RBI, the Bank makes accelerated provisions as per extant RBI guidelines.

Annual Report 2015-2016

137

Financial Statements of ICICI Bank Limited

Schedules

forming part of the Accounts (Contd.)


The Bank holds specific provisions against non-performing loans and advances and against certain performing loans
and advances in accordance with RBI directions. The Bank also holds provisions on loans under SDR scheme of
RBI. The assessment of incremental specific provisions is made after taking into consideration the existing specific
provision held. The specific provisions on retail loans and advances held by the Bank are higher than the minimum
regulatory requirements.

a) P
 rovision due to diminution in the fair value of restructured/rescheduled loans and advances is made in
accordance with the applicable RBI guidelines.

b) A
 mounts recovered against debts written-off in earlier years and provisions no longer considered necessary in
the context of the current status of the borrower are recognised in the profit and loss account.

c) T
 he Bank maintains general provision on performing loans and advances in accordance with the RBI guidelines,
including provisions on loans to borrowers having unhedged foreign currency exposure, provision on exposures
to step-down subsidiaries of Indian companies and floating provision taken over from erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan
upon amalgamation. For performing loans and advances in overseas branches, the general provision is made at
higher of host country regulations requirement and RBI requirement.

d) 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 categorised 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.

In respect of non-performing loans and advances accounts subjected to restructuring, the account is upgraded
to standard only after the specified period i.e. a period of one year after the date when first payment of interest
or of principal, whichever is later, falls due, subject to satisfactory performance of the account during the period.
A standard restructured loan is upgraded to the standard category when satisfactory payment performance is
evidenced during the specified period and after the loan reverts to the normal level of standard asset provisions/
risk weights.

4. Transfer and servicing of assets


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 securitised loan contract. Recourse and servicing obligations are accounted for net of provisions.

In accordance with the RBI 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 amortised 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 RBI guidelines require the profit/premium arising from
securitisation to be amortised over the life of the transaction based on the method prescribed in the guidelines.

In the case of loans sold to an asset reconstruction company, the excess provision is not reversed but is utilised to
meet the shortfall/loss on account of sale of other financial assets to securitisation company (SC)/reconstruction
company (RC) in accordance with RBI guideline dated July 13, 2005. With effect from February 26, 2014, in accordance
with RBI guidelines, in case of non-performing loans sold to SCs/RCs, the Bank reverses the excess provision in profit
and loss account in the year in which amounts are received.

5. Fixed assets and depreciation


Fixed assets are carried at cost and include amounts added on revaluation of premises, less accumulated depreciation
and impairment, if any. Cost includes freight, duties, taxes and incidental expenses related to the acquisition and

6. Transactions involving foreign exchange


Foreign currency income and expenditure items of domestic operations are translated at the exchange rates prevailing
on the date of the transaction. Income and expenditure items of integral foreign operations (representative offices)
are translated at daily closing rates, and income and expenditure items of non-integral foreign operations (foreign
branches and offshore banking units) are translated at quarterly average closing rates.

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of domestic and integral foreign operations are translated at closing
exchange rates notified by Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India (FEDAI) relevant to the balance sheet date
and the resulting gains/losses are included in the profit and loss account.

Both monetary and non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of non-integral foreign operations are
translated relevant to closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date and the resulting gains/
losses from exchange differences are accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal of
the net investment in the non-integral foreign operations. On the disposal/partial disposal of a non-integral foreign
operation, the cumulative/proportionate amount of the exchange differences which has been accumulated in the
foreign currency translation reserve and which relates to that operation are recognised as income or expenses in the
same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.

The premium or discount arising on inception of forward exchange contracts that are entered into to establish the
amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction is amortised over the life
of the contract. All other outstanding forward exchange contracts are revalued based on the exchange rates notified
by FEDAI for specified maturities and at interpolated rates for contracts of interim maturities. The contracts of longer
maturities where exchange rates are not notified by FEDAI are revalued based on the forward exchange rates implied
by the swap curves in respective currencies. The resultant gains or losses are recognised in the profit and loss
account.

Contingent liabilities on account of guarantees, endorsements and other obligations denominated in foreign
currencies are disclosed at the closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI relevant to the balance sheet date.

7. Accounting for derivative contracts

The Bank enters into derivative contracts such as foreign currency options, interest rate and currency swaps, credit
default swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps.

The swap contracts entered to hedge on-balance sheet assets and liabilities are structured such 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. Hedge swaps are accounted for on an accrual basis and are not marked to market unless their
underlying transaction is marked to market.

Foreign currency and rupee derivative contracts entered into for trading purposes are marked to market and the
resulting gain or loss (net of provisions, if any) is accounted for in the profit and loss account. Pursuant to RBI
guidelines, any receivables under derivative contracts which remain overdue for more than 90 days and markto-market gains on other derivative contracts with the same counter-parties are reversed through profit and loss
account.

8. Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)


The Employees Stock Option Scheme (the Scheme) provides for grant of options on the Banks equity shares to
wholetime directors and employees of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Scheme provides that employees are
granted an option to subscribe to equity shares of the Bank that vest in a graded manner. The options may be
exercised within a specified period. 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 amortised over the vesting period. The fair market
price is the latest closing price, immediately prior to the grant date, which is generally the date of the meeting of the
Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee in which the options are granted, on the stock exchange
on which the shares of the Bank are listed. If the shares are listed on more than one stock exchange, then the stock
exchange where there is highest trading volume on the said date is considered.

9. Employee Benefits
Gratuity

The Bank pays gratuity, a defined benefit plan, to employees who retire or resign after a minimum prescribed period
of continuous service and in case of employees at overseas locations as per the rules in force in the respective
countries. The Bank makes contribution to a trust which administers the funds on its own account or through
insurance companies.

The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability is determined by an actuary appointed by the Bank. Actuarial valuation of
gratuity liability is determined based on certain assumptions regarding rate of interest, salary growth, mortality and
staff attrition as per the projected unit credit method.

Superannuation Fund and National Pension Scheme

The Bank contributes 15.00% of the total annual basic salary of certain employees to superannuation funds, a defined
contribution plan, managed and administered by insurance companies. Further, the Bank contributes 10.00% of
the total basic salary of certain employees to National Pension Scheme (NPS), a defined contribution plan, which
is managed and administered by pension fund management companies. The Bank also gives an option to its
employees allowing them to receive the amount in lieu of such contributions along with their monthly salary during
their employment.

The amounts so contributed/paid by the Bank to the superannuation fund and NPS or to employee during the year
are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Pension

The Bank provides for pension, a defined benefit plan covering eligible employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura,
erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan. The Bank makes contribution to a trust which administers
the funds on its own account or through insurance companies. The plan provides for pension payment including
dearness relief on a monthly basis to these employees on their retirement based on the respective employees years
of service with the Bank and applicable salary.

Actuarial valuation of the pension liability is determined by an actuary appointed by the Bank. Actuarial valuation of
pension liability is calculated based on certain assumptions regarding rate of interest, salary growth, mortality and
staff attrition as per the projected unit credit method.

The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Employees covered by the pension plan are not eligible for employers contribution under the provident fund plan.

Provident Fund

The Bank is statutorily required to maintain a provident fund, a defined benefit plan, as a part of retirement benefits to
its employees. Each employee contributes a certain percentage of his or her basic salary and the Bank contributes an
equal amount for eligible employees. The Bank makes contribution as required by The Employees Provident Funds
and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 to Employees Pension Scheme administered by the Regional Provident Fund
Commissioner. The Bank makes balance contributions to a fund administered by trustees. The funds are invested
according to the rules prescribed by the Government of India.

Actuarial valuation for the interest rate guarantee on the provident fund balances is determined by an actuary
appointed by the Bank.

The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

The overseas branches of the Bank and its eligible employees contribute a certain percentage of their salary towards
respective government schemes as per local regulatory guidelines. The contribution made by the overseas branches
is recognised in profit and loss account at the time of contribution.

Leave encashment

The Bank provides for leave encashment benefit based on actuarial valuation conducted by an independent actuary.

10. Income Taxes


Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax expense incurred by the Bank. The
current tax expense and deferred tax expense is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act,
1961 and as per Accounting Standard 22 - Accounting for Taxes on Income respectively. Deferred tax adjustments
comprise changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognised by considering the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for
the current year, and carry forward losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax
laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. The impact of changes in deferred
tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account. Deferred tax assets are recognised and reassessed at each reporting date, based upon managements judgement as to whether their realisation is considered
as reasonably/virtually certain.

11. Impairment of Assets


The immovable fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is treated as impaired when its carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment is recognised by debiting the profit and loss account and
is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the impaired assets exceeds their recoverable value.

12. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Bank estimates the probability of any loss that might be incurred on outcome of contingencies on the basis of
information available up to the date on which the financial statements are prepared. A provision is recognised when
an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are determined based
on management estimates of amounts required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, supplemented
by experience of similar transactions. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the
current management estimates. In cases where the available information indicates that the loss on the contingency is
reasonably possible but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure to this effect is made in the
financial statements. In case of remote possibility neither provision nor disclosure is made in the financial statements.
The Bank does not account for or disclose contingent assets, if any.

The Bank estimates the probability of redemption of customer loyalty reward points using an actuarial method by
employing an independent actuary and accordingly makes provision for these reward points. Actuarial valuation is
determined based on certain assumptions regarding mortality rate, discount rate, cancellation rate and redemption
rate.

13. Earnings per share (EPS)


Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed in accordance with Accounting Standard 20 Earnings per share.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue equity shares were
exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average
number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the results
are anti-dilutive.

14. Lease transactions


Lease payments for assets taken on operating lease are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account over
the lease term on straight line basis.

15. Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, balances with RBI, balances with other banks and money at call and
short notice.

3. Capital adequacy ratio

The Bank is subject to the Basel III capital adequacy guidelines stipulated by RBI with effect from April 1, 2013. The
guidelines provide a transition schedule for Basel III implementation till March 31, 2019. As per the guidelines, the
Tier-1 capital is made up of Common Equity Tier-1 (CET1) and Additional Tier-1.

At March 31, 2016, Basel III guidelines require the Bank to maintain a minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratio
(CRAR) of 9.63% with minimum CET1 CRAR of 6.13% and minimum Tier-1 CRAR of 7.63%. The minimum total CRAR,
CET1 CRAR and Tier-1 CRAR requirement include capital conservation buffer of 0.63%.

4. Liquidity coverage ratio


The Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) had introduced the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) in order to
ensure that a bank has an adequate stock of unencumbered high quality liquid assets (HQLA) to survive a significant
liquidity stress lasting for a period of 30 days. LCR is defined as a ratio of HQLA to the total net cash outflows
estimated for the next 30 calendar days. As per the RBI guidelines the minimum LCR required to be maintained by
banks shall be implemented in the phased manner from January 1, 2015 as given below.

The Bank during the three months ended March 31, 2016 maintained average HQLA (after haircut) of ` 657,810.1
million (March 31, 2015: ` 569,153.4 million) against the average liquidity requirement of ` 502,575.6 million (March
31, 2015: ` 336,609.6 million) at minimum LCR requirement of 70%. HQLA primarily included government securities
in excess of minimum statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and to the extent allowed under marginal standing facility (MSF)
and facility to avail liquidity for LCR (FALLCR) of ` 498,952.5 million (March 31, 2015: ` 405,228.9 million). Additionally,
cash, balance in excess of cash reserve requirement with RBI and the Central banks of countries where Banks
branches are located amounting to ` 104,655.2 million (March 31, 2015: ` 119,941.0 million),. Further, average level 2
assets primarily consisting of AA- and above rated corporate bonds and commercial papers amounted to ` 33,334.1
million (March 31, 2015: ` 29,028.0 million).

At March 31, 2016, top liability products/instruments and their percentage contribution to the total liabilities of the Bank
were saving account deposits 18.63% (March 31, 2015: 17.78%), term deposits 31.68% (March 31, 2015: 30.52%), bond
borrowings 12.81% (March 31, 2015: 13.83%) and current account deposits 8.17% (March 31, 2015: 7.66%). Top 20
depositors constituted 7.35% (March 31, 2015: 6.43%) of total deposits of the Bank at March 31, 2016. Further, the total
borrowings mobilised from significant counterparties (from whom, the funds borrowed were more than 1.00% of the
Banks total liabilities), were 11.81% (March 31, 2015: 13.66%) of the total liabilities of the Bank at March 31, 2016.

The weighted cash outflows are primarily driven by unsecured wholesale funding which includes operational
deposits, non-operational deposits and unsecured debt. During Q4-2016, unsecured wholesale funding contributed
59.50% (March 31, 2015: 50.19%) of the total weighted cash outflows. The non-operational deposits include term
deposits with premature withdrawal facility. Retail deposits including deposits from small business customers and
other contingent funding obligations contributed 20.89% (March 31, 2015: 24.58%) and 7.50% (March 31, 2015:
12.37%) of the total weighted cash outflows respectively. The other contingent funding obligations primarily include
bank guarantees (BGs) and letters of credit (LCs) issued on behalf of the Banks clients.

Liquidity requirement of the Bank on account of market valuation changes for derivative transactions was limited as
the Bank has not executed any Credit Support Annex (CSA) requiring it to post collateral for derivative transactions.
However, the Bank may be required to post additional collateral due to market valuation changes on derivative
transactions settled through Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) which is a Qualified Central Counterparty (QCCP)
in India including the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL). The outflow on account of market valuation change for
derivative transactions with QCCPs has been considered based on the prescribed look back approach.

Based on the above, monthly average LCR of the Bank for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 91.62% (March 31,
2015: 101.45%). During the three months ended on March 31, 2016, other than Indian Rupee, USD was the only significant
foreign currency which constituted more than 5.00% of the balance sheet size of the Bank. Average LCR of the Bank for
USD currency was 87.90% (March 31, 2015: 100.83%) for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

5. Information about business and geographical segments



Business Segments

Pursuant to the guidelines issued by RBI on AS 17 - Segment Reporting - Enhancement of Disclosures dated April 18,
2007, effective from year ended March 31, 2008, the following business segments have been reported.


Retail Banking includes exposures which satisfy the four criteria of orientation, product, granularity and low
value of individual exposures for retail exposures laid down in BCBS document International Convergence of
Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework.


Treasury includes the entire investment and derivative portfolio of the Bank.


Other Banking includes leasing operations and other items not attributable to any particular business segment.

Income, expenses, assets and liabilities are either specifically identified with individual segments or are allocated to
segments on a systematic basis.

All liabilities are transfer priced to a central treasury unit, which pools all funds and lends to the business units at appropriate
rates based on the relevant maturity of assets being funded after adjusting for regulatory reserve requirements.

The transfer pricing mechanism of the Bank is periodically reviewed. The segment results are determined based on
the transfer pricing mechanism prevailing for the respective reporting periods.

Wholesale Banking includes all advances to trusts, partnership firms, companies and statutory bodies, which are
not included under Retail Banking.

have been earmarked against redemption of preference shares issued by the Bank, which fall due for redemption on
April 20, 2018, as per the original terms of the issue.

8. Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)


In terms of the ESOS, as amended, the maximum number of options granted to any eligible employee in a financial
year shall not exceed 0.05% of the issued equity shares of the Bank at the time of grant of the options and aggregate
of all such options granted to the eligible employees shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued
equity shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options. Under the stock option scheme, eligible employees are
entitled to apply for equity shares. Options granted prior to March, 2014, except mentioned below, vest in a graded
manner over a four-year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of the grants vesting in each year, commencing
from the end of 12 months from the date of grant. Options granted in April, 2009 vest in a graded manner over a
five-year period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months
from the date of grant. Options granted in September, 2011 vest in a graded manner over a five-years period with
15%, 20%, 20% and 45% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of the
grant. Options granted after March, 2014 vest in a graded manner over a three-year period with 30%, 30%, and 40%
of the grant vesting in each year, commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant other than certain
options granted in April 2014 which will vest to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2017 and the balance on April 30, 2018.
The options granted in September 2015 will vest to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2018 and 50% on April 30, 2019.
However for the options granted in September 2015 if the participants employment terminates due to retirement
(including pursuant to any early/voluntary retirement scheme), the whole of the unvested options would lapse. The
options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is
later. The exercise price of Banks options, except mentioned below, was the last closing price on the stock exchange,
which recorded highest trading volume preceding the date of grant of options. Hence, there was no compensation
cost based on intrinsic value of options.

In February 2011, the Bank granted 15,175,000 options to eligible employees and whole-time Directors of the Bank
and certain of its subsidiaries at an exercise price of ` 193.40. Of these options granted, 50% vested on April 30, 2014
and the balance 50% vested on April 30, 2015. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant
or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of
` 0.8 million was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2016 (March 31, 2015: ` 16.4 million).

If the Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the year ended
March 31, 2016 would have been higher by ` 3,726.5 million and proforma profit after tax would have been
` 93.54 billion. On a proforma basis, the Banks basic and diluted earnings per share would have been ` 16.11 and
` 16.02 respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended
March 31, 2016 are given below.

15. Derivatives

The Bank is a major participant in the financial derivatives market. The Bank deals in derivatives for balance sheet
management, proprietary trading and market making purposes whereby the Bank offers derivative products to its
customers, enabling them to hedge their risks.

Dealing in derivatives is carried out by identified groups in the treasury of the Bank based on the purpose of the
transaction. Derivative transactions are entered into by the treasury front office. Treasury Control and Service Group
(TCSG) conducts an independent check of the transactions entered into by the front office and also undertakes
activities such as confirmation, settlement, accounting, risk monitoring and reporting and ensures compliance with
various internal and regulatory guidelines.

The market making and the proprietary trading activities in derivatives are governed by the Investment policy and
Derivative policy of the Bank, which lays down the position limits, stop loss limits as well as other risk limits. The
Risk Management Group (RMG) lays down the methodology for computation and monitoring of risk. The Risk
Committee of the Board (RCB) reviews the Banks risk management policy in relation to various risks including credit
and recovery policy, investment policy, derivative policy, Asset Liability Management (ALM) policy and operational
risk management policy. The RCB comprises independent directors and the Managing Director and CEO.

The Bank measures and monitors risk of its derivatives portfolio using such risk metrics as Value at Risk (VAR), stop
loss limits and relevant greeks for options. Risk reporting on derivatives forms an integral part of the management
information system.

The use of derivatives for hedging purposes is governed by the hedge policy approved by Asset Liability Management
Committee (ALCO). Subject to prevailing RBI guidelines, the Bank deals in derivatives for hedging fixed rate, floating
rate or foreign currency assets/liabilities. Transactions for hedging and market making purposes are recorded
separately. For hedge transactions, the Bank identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the hedge
itself. The effectiveness is assessed at the time of inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter.

Hedge derivative transactions are accounted for pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting based on guidelines
issued by RBI. Derivatives for market making purpose are marked to market and the resulting gain/loss is recorded
in the profit and loss account. The premium on option contracts is accounted for as per Foreign Exchange Dealers
Association of India (FEDAI) guidelines.

Over the counter (OTC) derivative transactions are covered under International Swaps and Derivatives Association
(ISDA) master agreements with the respective counter parties. The exposure on account of derivative transactions is
computed as per RBI guidelines.

17. Forward rate agreement (FRA)/Interest rate swaps (IRS)


The Bank enters into FRA and IRS contracts for balance sheet management and market making purposes whereby the
Bank offers derivative products to its customers to enable them to hedge their interest rate risk within the prevalent
regulatory guidelines.

A FRA is a financial contract between two parties to exchange interest payments for notional principal amount on
settlement date, for a specified period from start date to maturity date. Accordingly, on the settlement date, cash
payments based on contract rate and the settlement rate, which is the agreed bench-mark/reference rate prevailing
on the settlement date, are made by the parties to one another. The benchmark used in the FRA contracts of the Bank
is London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of various currencies.

An IRS is a financial contract between two parties exchanging or swapping a stream of interest payments for a notional
principal amount on multiple occasions during a specified period. The Bank deals in interest rate benchmarks like
Mumbai Inter-Bank Offered Rate (MIBOR), Indian government securities Benchmark rate (INBMK), Mumbai Inter Bank
Forward Offer Rate (MIFOR) and LIBOR of various currencies.

These contracts are subject to the risks of changes in market interest rates as well as the settlement risk with the
counterparties.

rate swaps.

The interest income on loan accounts under strategic debt restructuring (SDR) scheme of RBI, which has been approved by
the Bank, is recognised upon realisation. Accordingly, the interest income on SDR cases not recognised for the year ended
March 31, 2016 was ` 1,093.5 million.
25. Provision on Funded Interest Term Loan

In 2008, RBI issued guidelines on debt restructuring, which also covered the treatment of funded interest in cases
of debt restructuring, that is, instances where interest for a certain period was funded by a Funded Interest Term
Loan (FITL) which was then repaid based on a contracted maturity schedule. In line with these guidelines, the Bank
was providing fully for any interest income which was funded through a FITL for cases restructured subsequent to
the issuance of the guideline. However, during the year ended March 31, 2015, RBI required similar treatment of
outstanding FITL pertaining to cases restructured prior to the 2008 guidelines which were not yet repaid. In view of
the above, and since this item relates to prior years, the Bank had with the approval of the RBI debited its reserves by
` 9,291.6 million to fully provide outstanding FITLs pertaining to restructurings prior to the issuance of the guideline
in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as against over three quarters permitted by RBI.

26. Floating provision


The Bank holds floating provision of ` 1.9 million at March 31, 2016 (March 31, 2015:` 1.9 million) taken over from
erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan on amalgamation.

2. The weak global economic environment, the sharp downturn in the commodity cycle and the gradual nature of the domestic
economic recovery has adversely impacted the borrowers in certain sectors like iron and steel, mining, power, rigs and
cement. While the banks are working towards resolution of stress on certain borrowers in these sectors, it may take some
time for solutions to be worked out, given the weak operating and recovery environment. In view of the above, the Bank has
on a prudent basis made a collective contingency and related reserve during the year ended March 31, 2016, amounting
to ` 36,000.0 million towards exposures to these sectors. This is over and above provisions made for non-performing and
restructured loans as per RBI guidelines.
3. Includes general provision towards standard assets amounting to ` 2,970.1 million (March 31, 2015: ` 3,847.9 million).

The Bank has assessed its obligations arising in the normal course of business, including pending litigations,
proceedings pending with tax authorities and other contracts including derivative and long term contracts. In
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard - 29 on Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets, the Bank recognises a provision for material foreseeable losses when it has a present obligation as a result of
a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which
a reliable estimate can be made. In cases where the available information indicates that the loss on the contingency
is reasonably possible but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure to this effect is made as
contingent liabilities in the financial statements. The Bank does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have
a materially adverse effect on its financial results.

operational risk and other contingencies.

such as the desired funding profile and asset quality. The BGRNC takes into consideration all the above
aspects while assessing organisational and individual performance and making compensation-related
recommendations to the Board.

Overview of the nature and type of key measures used to take account of these risks, including risk
difficult to measure

 he BGRNC takes into consideration all the above aspects while assessing organisational and individual
T
performance and making compensation-related recommendations to the Board regarding the level of
performance bonus for employees and the performance assessment of Wholetime Directors and equivalent
positions. The performance assessment of individual employees is undertaken based on achievements
compared to their goal sheets, which incorporate various aspects/metrics described earlier.

Discussion of the measures the Bank will in general implement to adjust remuneration in the event that

T
compensation policy) of the total fixed pay in a year. Within this percentage, if the quantum of bonus exceeds
a predefined threshold percentage of the total fixed pay, a part of the bonus is deferred and paid over a
period. These thresholds for deferrals are same across employees.

permitted by national law) after vesting through claw back arrangements

 he deferred portion of variable pay is subject to malus, under which the Bank would prevent vesting of all or
T

using these different forms

Overview of the forms of variable remuneration offered. A discussion of the use of different forms of
variable remuneration and, if the mix of different forms of variable remuneration differs across employees
or group of employees, a description of the factors that determine the mix and their relative importance

 he Bank pays performance linked retention pay (PLRP) to its front-line staff and junior management
T
and performance bonus to its middle and senior management. PLRP aims to reward front line and junior
managers, mainly on the basis of skill maturity attained through experience and continuity in role which is
a key differentiator for customer service. The Bank also pays variable pay to sales officers and relationship
managers in wealth management roles while ensuring that such pay-outs are in accordance with applicable
regulatory requirements.

 he Bank ensures higher proportion of variable pay at senior levels and lower variable pay for front-line staff
T
and junior management levels.

REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS UNDER CLAUSE (I) OF SUB-SECTION 3 OF SECTION
143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 (THE ACT)
1. In conjunction with our report of the consolidated financial statements of ICICI Bank Limited, its subsidiary companies
and its associate companies (collectively referred to as the Group) as of and for the year ended 31 March 2016, we
have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of ICICI Bank Limited (hereinafter referred to as
the Holding Company), its subsidiary companies and associate companies which are companies incorporated in
India, as of that date.

MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS


2. The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies and its associate companies,
which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial
controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Group considering the
essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over
Financial Reporting (the Guidance Note) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ICAI). These
responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that
were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the
respective companys policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as
required under the Companies Act, 2013.

AUDITORS RESPONSIBILITY
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Groups internal financial controls over financial reporting based
on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by ICAI and the Standards on
Auditing (the Standards), issued by the ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the
extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance
Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if
such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls
over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms
of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion on the Groups internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial

Significant accounting policies
Overview
ICICI Bank Limited, together with its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (collectively, the Group), is a diversified
financial services group providing a wide range of banking and financial services including commercial banking, retail
banking, project and corporate finance, working capital finance, insurance, venture capital and private equity, investment
banking, broking and treasury products and services.
ICICI Bank Limited (the Bank), incorporated in Vadodara, India is a publicly held banking company governed by the
Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financials of ICICI Bank, its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
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,
are fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis in accordance with the provisions of AS 21 on Consolidated Financial
Statements. 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 Banks 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. All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Basis of preparation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Group used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP), the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank
of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India
(IRDAI), National Housing Bank (NHB) from time to time, and the Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, as applicable to relevant
companies and practices generally prevalent in the banking industry in India. In the case of the foreign subsidiaries,
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as applicable to the respective foreign subsidiaries are followed. The Group
follows the accrual method of accounting except where otherwise stated, and the historical cost convention. In case the
accounting policies followed by a subsidiary or joint venture are different from those followed by the Bank, the same have
been disclosed in the respective accounting policy.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions
that are considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management
believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable.
Future results could differ from these estimates.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


1. Transactions involving foreign exchange
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are reported in Indian rupees (`), the national currency of India.
Foreign currency income and expenditure items are translated as follows:

For domestic operations, at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction with the resultant gain
or loss accounted for in the profit and loss account.

For integral foreign operations, at daily closing rates with the resultant gain or loss accounted for in the profit
and loss account. An integral foreign operation is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of the reporting
enterprise, the activities of which are based or conducted in a country other than the country of the reporting
enterprise but are an integral part of the reporting enterprise.

For non-integral foreign operations, at the quarterly average closing rates with the resultant gains or losses
accounted for as foreign currency translation reserve.

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of domestic and integral foreign operations are translated at closing
exchange rates notified by Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India (FEDAI) relevant to the balance sheet date
and the resulting gains/losses are included in the profit and loss account.
Both monetary and non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of non-integral foreign operations are
translated relevant to closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI relevant to the balance sheet date and the resulting
gains/losses from exchange differences are accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal
of the net investment in the non-integral foreign operations. On the disposal/partial disposal of a non-integral foreign
operation, the cumulative/proportionate amount of the exchange differences which has been accumulated in the
foreign currency translation reserve and which relates to that operation are recognised as income or expenses in the
same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.
The premium or discount arising on inception of forward exchange contracts in domestic operations that are entered
to establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction is amortised
over the life of the contract. All other outstanding forward exchange contracts are revalued based on the exchange
rates notified by FEDAI for specified maturities and at interpolated rates for contracts of interim maturities. The
contracts of longer maturities where exchange rates are not notified by FEDAI are revalued, based on the forward
exchange rates implied by the swap curves in respective currencies. The resultant gains or losses are recognised in
the profit and loss account.
Contingent liabilities on account of guarantees, endorsements and other obligations denominated in foreign currency
are disclosed at the closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI relevant to the balance sheet date.

2. Revenue recognition

a) Interest income is recognised in the profit and loss account as it accrues except in the case of non-performing
assets (NPAs) where it is recognised upon realisation, as per the income recognition and asset classification
norms of RBI/NHB/other applicable guidelines. Further, the interest income on loan accounts where restructuring
has been approved by the Bank under Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) scheme of RBI, is recognised upon
realisation.

b) Income from finance leases is calculated by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the net investment
outstanding on the lease over the primary lease period. Finance leases entered into prior to April 1, 2001 have
been accounted for as per the Guidance Note on Accounting for Leases issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI). The finance leases entered post April 1, 2001 have been accounted for as per
Accounting Standard 19 - Leases.

g) Arranger fee is accounted for as income when a significant portion of the arrangement/syndication is completed.

h) Commission received on guarantees issued is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the guarantee.

i)

m) Income from securities brokerage activities is recognised as income on the trade date of the transaction.
Brokerage income in relation to public or other issuances of securities is recognised based on mobilisation and
terms of agreement with the client.

n) Life insurance premium for non-linked policies is recognised as income when due from policyholders. For unit
linked business, premium is recognised when the associated units are created. Premium on lapsed policies is
recognised as income when such policies are reinstated. Top-up premiums paid by unit linked policyholders are
considered as single premium and recognised as income when the associated units are created. Income from
unit linked policies, which includes fund management charges, policy administration charges, mortality charges
and other charges, if any, are recovered from the linked funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
policy and are recognised when due.

o) In the case of general insurance business, premium is recorded for the policy period at the commencement of
risk and for instalment cases, it is recorded on instalment due dates. Premium earned is recognised as income
over the period of the risk or the contract period based on 1/365 method, whichever is appropriate, on a gross
basis, net of service tax. Any subsequent revision to premium is recognised over the remaining period of risk or
contract period. Adjustments to premium income arising on cancellation of policies are recognised in the period
in which the policies are cancelled. Commission on re-insurance ceded is recognised as income in the period of
ceding the risk. Profit commission under re-insurance treaties, wherever applicable, is recognised as income in
the period of final determination of profits and combined with commission on reinsurance ceded.

relevant treaty with the reinsurer. Profit commission on reinsurance ceded is netted off against premium ceded
on reinsurance.

q) In the case of general insurance business, insurance premium on ceding of the risk is recognised in the period
in which the risk commences. Any subsequent revision to premium ceded is recognised in the period of such
revision. Adjustment to re-insurance premium arising on cancellation of policies is recognised in the period
in which they are cancelled. In case of life insurance business, reinsurance premium ceded is accounted in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant treaties with the reinsurer. Profit commission on
reinsurance ceded is netted off against premium ceded on reinsurance.

r) In the case of general insurance business, premium deficiency is recognised when the sum of expected claim
costs and related expenses and maintenance costs exceed the reserve for unexpired risks and is computed at a
company level. The expected claim cost is calculated and duly certified by the Appointed Actuary.

3. Stock based compensation

The following entities within the group have granted stock options to their employees:

ICICI Bank Limited

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited

ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited

The Employees Stock Option Scheme (the Scheme) of the Bank provides for grant of options on the Banks equity
shares to wholetime directors and employees of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Scheme provides that employees
are granted an option to subscribe to equity shares of the Bank that vest in a graded manner. The options may be
exercised within a specified period. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company and ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company have also formulated similar stock option schemes for their employees for grant of equity shares of their
respective companies.
The Group, except the banking subsidiaries, 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 amortised over the vesting period. The fair market
price is the latest closing price, immediately prior to the grant date, which is generally the date of the meeting of the
Board Governance, Remuneration & Nomination Committee in which the options are granted, on the stock exchange
on which the shares of the Bank are listed. If the shares are listed on more than one stock exchange, then the stock
exchange where there is highest trading volume on the said date is considered. In the case of ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance Company and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company, the fair value of the shares is determined based
on an external valuation report. The banking subsidiaries namely, ICICI Bank UK and ICICI Bank Canada account for
the cost of the options granted to employees by ICICI Bank using the fair value method based on binomial tree model.

4. Income taxes
Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax expense incurred by the Group. The
current tax expense and deferred tax expense is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act,
1961 and as per Accounting Standard 22 - Accounting for Taxes on Income, respectively. Deferred tax adjustments
comprise changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised by considering the impact of timing differences between taxable
income and accounting income for the current year, and carry forward losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
The impact of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account.
Deferred tax assets are recognised and re-assessed at each reporting date, based upon the managements judgement
as to whether their realisation is considered as reasonably certain. However, in case of domestic companies, where
there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only
if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets.
In the consolidated financial statements, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed at an individual entity level
and aggregated for consolidated reporting.

5. Claims and benefits paid


In the case of general insurance business, claims incurred comprise claims paid, estimated liability for outstanding
claims made following a loss occurrence reported and estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR)
and claims incurred but not enough reported (IBNER). Further, claims incurred also include specific claim settlement
costs such as survey/legal fees and other directly attributable costs. Claims (net of amounts receivable from reinsurers/co-insurers) are recognised on the date of intimation based on management estimates or on estimates from
surveyors/insured in the respective revenue account. Estimated liability for outstanding claims at the balance sheet
date is recorded net of claims recoverable from/payable to co-insurers/re-insurers and salvage to the extent there is
certainty of realisation. Estimated liability for outstanding claim is determined by the entity on the basis of ultimate
amounts likely to be paid on each claim based on the past experience/ actuarial valuation. These estimates are
progressively revalidated on availability of further information. Claims IBNR represent that amount of claims that may

Annual Report 2015-2016

215

Consolidated Financial Statements

Schedules

forming part of the Consolidated Accounts (Contd.)


have been incurred during the accounting period but have not been reported or claimed. The claims IBNR provision
also includes provision, if any, required for claims IBNER. Estimated liability for claims IBNR/claims IBNER is based
on an actuarial estimate duly certified by the appointed actuary of the entity.
In the case of life insurance business, benefits paid comprise of policy benefits and claim settlement costs, if any.
Death and rider claims are accounted for on receipt of intimation. Survival and maturity benefits are accounted when
due. Withdrawals and surrenders under non linked policies are accounted on the receipt of intimation.

6. Liability for life policies in force


In the case of life insurance business, the liabilities for life policies in force are calculated in accordance with accepted
actuarial practice, requirements of Insurance Act, 1938 (amended by Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015) and
regulations notified by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India and Actuarial Practice Standards
of the Institute of Actuaries of India.

7. Reserve for unexpired risk


Reserve for unexpired risk is recognised net of re-insurance ceded and represents premium written that is attributable
and to be allocated to succeeding accounting periods for risks to be borne by the entity under contractual obligations
on contract period basis or risk period basis, whichever is appropriate. It is calculated on a daily pro-rata basis subject
to a minimum of 50.00% of the aggregated premium, written on policies during the twelve months preceding the
balance sheet date for fire, marine, cargo and miscellaneous business and 100.00% for marine hull business, on all
unexpired policies at balance sheet date, in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1938.

8. Actuarial method and valuation


In the case of life insurance business, the actuarial liability on both participating and non-participating policies is
calculated using the gross premium method, using assumptions for interest, mortality, morbidity, expense and
inflation, and in the case of participating policies, future bonuses together with allowance for taxation and allocation
of profits to shareholders. These assumptions are determined as prudent estimates at the date of valuation with
allowances for adverse deviations.
The greater of liability calculated using discounted cash flows and unearned premium reserves is held for the
unexpired portion of the risk for the non-unit liabilities of linked business and attached riders.
The unit liability in respect of linked business has been taken as the value of the units standing to the credit of
policyholders, using the Net Asset Value (NAV) prevailing at the valuation date.
An unexpired risk reserve and a reserve in respect of claims incurred but not reported are created, for one year
renewable group term insurance.
The interest rates used for valuing the liabilities are in the range of 4.92% to 5.53% per annum (previous year 4.47%
to 5.39% per annum).
Mortality rates used are based on the published Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006 2008) Ult. mortality table for
assurances and LIC 96-98 table for annuities, adjusted to reflect expected experience while morbidity rates used are
based on CIBT 93 table, adjusted for expected experience, or on risk rates supplied by reinsurers.
Expenses are provided for at current levels, in respect of renewal expenses, with no allowance for future improvements
but with an allowance for any expected worsening. Per policy renewal expenses for regular premium policies are
assumed to inflate at 5.18% (previous year 4.49%).

9. Acquisition costs for insurance business


Acquisition costs are those costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of insurance contracts and
are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

10. Employee benefits
Gratuity
The Group pays gratuity, a defined benefit plan, to employees who retire or resign after a minimum prescribed period
of continuous service and in case of employees at overseas locations as per the rules in force in the respective
countries. The Group makes contribution to trusts which administer the funds on their own account or through
insurance companies.

The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability is determined by an actuary appointed by the Group. Actuarial valuation of
gratuity liability is determined based on certain assumptions regarding rate of interest, salary growth, mortality and
staff attrition as per the projected unit credit method.

Superannuation fund and National Pension Scheme

The Bank contributes 15.00% of the total annual basic salary of certain employees to superannuation funds, a defined
contribution plan, managed and administered by insurance companies. Further, the Bank contributes 10.00% of
the total basic salary of certain employees to National Pension Scheme (NPS), a defined contribution plan, which
is managed and administered by pension fund management companies. The Bank also gives an option to its
employees allowing them to receive the amount in lieu of such contributions along with their monthly salary during
their employment.
The amounts so contributed/paid by the Bank to the superannuation fund and NPS or to employee during the year
are recognised in the profit and loss account.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company and ICICI Venture Funds
Management Company have accrued for superannuation liability based on a percentage of basic salary payable to
eligible employees for the period of service.

Pension

The Bank provides for pension, a defined benefit plan covering eligible employees of erstwhile Bank of Madura,
erstwhile Sangli Bank and erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan. The Bank makes contribution to a trust which administers
the funds on its own account or through insurance companies. The plan provides for pension payment including
dearness relief on a monthly basis to these employees on their retirement based on the respective employees years
of service with the Bank and applicable salary.
Actuarial valuation of the pension liability is determined by an actuary appointed by the Bank. Actuarial valuation of
pension liability is calculated based on certain assumptions regarding rate of interest, salary growth, mortality and
staff attrition as per the projected unit credit method.
The actuarial gains or losses arising during the year are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Employees covered by the pension plan are not eligible for employers contribution under the provident fund plan.

Provident fund

The Group is statutorily required to maintain a provident fund, a defined benefit plan, as a part of retirement benefits to
its employees. Each employee contributes a certain percentage of his or her basic salary and the Group contributes an

The employees of the overseas branches of the Bank contribute a certain percentage of their salary and the overseas
branches contribute an equal amount for eligible employees towards respective government schemes. The
contribution by the overseas branches is recognised in profit and loss account at the time of contribution.

Leave encashment

The Group provides for leave encashment benefit based on actuarial valuation conducted by an independent actuary.

11. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets


The Group estimates the probability of any loss that might be incurred on outcome of contingencies on the basis
of information available upto the date on which the consolidated financial statements are prepared. A provision is
recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are
determined based on management estimates of amounts required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date,
supplemented by experience of similar transactions. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted
to reflect the current management estimates. In cases where the available information indicates that the loss on the
contingency is reasonably possible but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure to this effect
is made in the consolidated financial statements. In case of remote possibility, neither provision nor disclosure is
made in the consolidated financial statements. The Group does not account for or disclose contingent assets, if any.
The Bank estimates the probability of redemption of customer loyalty reward points using an actuarial method by employing
an independent actuary and accordingly makes provision for these reward points. Actuarial valuation is determined based
on certain assumptions regarding mortality rate, discount rate, cancellation rate and redemption rate.

12. Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, balances with RBI, balances with other banks and money at call and
short notice.

13. Investments

i) Investments of the Bank are accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines on investment
classification and valuation as given below.

a) All investments are classified into Held to Maturity, Available for Sale and Held for Trading. Reclassifications,
if any, in any category are accounted for as per the RBI guidelines. Under each classification, the investments
are further categorised as (a) government securities, (b) other approved securities, (c) shares, (d) bonds and
debentures and (e) others.

b) Held to Maturity securities are carried at their acquisition cost or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium
over the face value. Any premium over the face value of fixed rate and floating rate securities acquired is
amortised over the remaining period to maturity on a constant yield basis and straight line basis respectively.

c) Available for Sale and Held for Trading securities are valued periodically as per RBI guidelines. Any premium
over the face value of fixed rate and floating rate investments in government securities, classified as Available
for Sale, is amortised over the remaining period to maturity on constant yield basis and straight line basis
respectively. Quoted investments are valued based on the trades/quotes on the recognised stock exchanges,
subsidiary general ledger account transactions, price list of RBI or prices declared by Primary Dealers Association
of India jointly with Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association (FIMMDA), periodically.

The market/fair value of unquoted government securities which are in the nature of Statutory Liquidity
Ratio (SLR) securities included in the Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories is as per the rates
published by FIMMDA. The valuation of other unquoted fixed income securities, including Pass Through
Certificates, wherever linked to the Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) rates, is computed with a mark-up (reflecting
associated credit risk) over the YTM rates for government securities published by FIMMDA.
Unquoted equity shares are valued at the break-up value, if the latest balance sheet is available or at ` 1, as
per RBI guidelines.

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, if any,
being unrealised, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided for. The depreciation on securities aquired by
way of conversion of outstanding loan is fully provided for. Non-performing investments are identified based
on the RBI guidelines.
Depreciation on equity shares acquired and held by the Bank under SDR scheme is provided over a period of
four calendar quarters from the date of conversion of debt into equity in accordance with the RBI guidelines.

d) Treasury bills, commercial papers and certificate of deposits being discounted instruments, are valued at
carrying cost.

e) The units of mutual funds are valued at the latest repurchase price/net asset value declared by the mutual
fund.

f) Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition, are
charged to the profit and loss account. Cost of investments is computed based on the First-In-First-Out (FIFO)
method.

g) Profit/loss on sale of investments in the Held to Maturity category is recognised in the profit and loss
account and profit is thereafter appropriated (net of applicable taxes and statutory reserve requirements) to
Capital Reserve. Profit/loss on sale of investments in Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories is
recognised in the profit and loss account.

h) Market repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions, are accounted for as borrowing and lending
transactions respectively in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines. The transactions with RBI under
Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) are accounted for as borrowing and lending transactions.

i) Broken period interest (the amount of interest from the previous interest payment date till the date of
purchase/sale of instruments) on debt instruments is treated as a revenue item.

j) At the end of each reporting period, security receipts issued by the asset reconstruction companies are
valued in accordance with the guidelines applicable to such instruments, prescribed by RBI from time to
time. Accordingly, in cases where the cash flows from security receipts issued by the asset reconstruction
companies are limited to the actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the
concerned scheme, the Bank reckons the net asset value obtained from the asset reconstruction company
from time to time, for valuation of such investments at each reporting period end. The security receipts
which are outstanding and not redeemed as at the end of the resolution period are treated as loss assets and
are fully provided for.

k) The Bank follows trade date method of accounting for purchase and sale of investments, except for
government of India and state government securities where settlement date method of accounting is
followed in accordance with RBI guidelines.

l) The Bank undertakes short sale transactions in dated central government securities in accordance with RBI
guidelines. The short positions are categorised under HFT category and are marked-to-market. The mark-tomarket loss is charged to profit and loss account and gain, if any, is ignored as per RBI guidelines.

ii) The Banks consolidating venture capital funds carry investments at fair values, with unrealised gains and
temporary losses on investments recognised as components of investors equity and accounted for in the
unrealised investment reserve account. The realised gains and losses on investments and units in mutual
funds and unrealised gains or losses on revaluation of units in mutual funds are accounted for in the profit and
loss account. Provisions are made in respect of accrued income considered doubtful. Such provisions as well
as any subsequent recoveries are recorded through the profit and loss account. Subscription to/purchase of
investments are accounted at the cost of acquisition inclusive of brokerage, commission and stamp duty. Bonus
shares and right entitlements are recorded when such benefits are known. Quoted investments are valued on
the valuation date at the closing market price. Quoted investments that are not traded on the valuation date

but are traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are valued at the latest known closing price.
An appropriate discount is applied where the asset management company considers it necessary to reflect
restrictions on disposal. Quoted investments not traded during the two months prior to the valuation date are
treated as unquoted. Unquoted investments are valued at their estimated fair values by applying appropriate
valuation methods. Where there is a decline, other than temporary in the carrying amounts of investments, the
resultant reduction in the carrying amount is charged to the profit and loss account during the period in which
such decline is identified.

iii) The Banks primary dealership and securities broking subsidiaries classify the securities held with the intention
of holding for short-term and trading as stock-in-trade which are valued at lower of cost or market value. The
securities classified by primary dealership subsidiary as held-to-maturity, as permitted by RBI, are carried at
amortised cost. Appropriate provision is made for other than temporary diminution in the value of investments.
Commission earned in respect of securities acquired upon development is reduced from the cost of acquisition.

iv) The Banks housing finance subsidiary classifies its investments as current investments and long-term
investments. Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified
as current investments, which are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments, which are carried at their acquisition cost or at amortised cost, if acquired
at a premium over the face value. Any premium over the face value of the securities acquired is amortised over
the remaining period to maturity on a constant yield basis. However, a provision for diminution in value is made
to recognise any other than temporary decline in the value of such long-term investments.

v) The Banks overseas banking subsidiaries account for unrealised gain/loss, net of tax, on investment in Available
for Sale category directly in their reserves. Further unrealised gain/loss on investment in Held for Trading
category is accounted directly in the profit and loss account. Investments in Held to Maturity category are
carried at amortised cost.

vi) In the case of life and general insurance businesses, investments are made in accordance with the Insurance Act,
1938 (amended by the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015), the IRDA (Investment) Regulations, 2000, and
various other circulars/notifications issued by the IRDAI in this context from time to time.

In the case of life insurance business, valuation of investments (other than linked business) is done on the
following basis:

a. All debt securities and redeemable preference shares are considered as Held to Maturity and accordingly
stated at historical cost, subject to amortisation of premium or accretion of discount over the period of
maturity/holding on a constant yield basis.

b. Listed equity shares are stated at fair value being the last quoted closing price on the National Stock Exchange
(NSE) (or BSE, in case the investments are not listed on NSE).

c. Mutual fund units are valued based on the previous days net asset value.

fund and Policyholders fund respectively for life insurance business.

In the case of general insurance business, valuation of investments is done on the following basis:

as Held to Maturity and accordingly stated at amortised cost determined after amortisation of premium or
accretion of discount on a constant yield basis over the holding/maturity period.

b. Listed equities and convertible preference shares at the balance sheet date are stated at fair value, being the
last quoted closing price on the NSE and in case these are not listed on NSE, then based on the last quoted

c. Mutual fund investments (other than venture capital fund) are stated at fair value, being the closing net asset
value at balance sheet date.

d. Investments other than mentioned above are valued at cost.

Unrealised gains/losses arising due to changes in the fair value of listed equity shares and mutual fund units are
taken to Revenue and other reserves in the balance sheet for general insurance business.
Insurance subsidiaries assess at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that any investment
may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the carrying value of such investment is reduced to its recoverable
amount and the impairment loss is recognised in the revenue(s)/profit and loss account.
The total proportion of investments for which subsidiaries have applied accounting policies different from the Bank
as mentioned above, is approximately 21.48% of the total investments at March 31, 2016.

14. Provisions/write-offs on loans and other credit facilities


i) Loans and other credit facilities of the Bank are accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines as
given below:

a) The Bank classifies its loans and investments, including at overseas branches and overdues arising from
crystallised derivative contracts, into performing and NPAs in accordance with RBI guidelines. 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 the extant RBI guidelines, are classified
as NPAs to the extent of amount outstanding in the host country. Further, NPAs are classified into substandard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by RBI.

In the case of corporate loans and advances, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets at
rates prescribed by RBI. Loss assets and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are provided/written-off
as per the extant RBI guidelines. For loans and advances booked in overseas branches, which are standard
as per the extant RBI guidelines but are classified as NPAs based on host country guidelines, provisions are
made as per the host country regulations. For loans and advances booked in overseas branches, which are
NPAs as per the extant RBI guidelines and as per host country guidelines, provisions are made at the higher
of the provisions required under RBI regulations and host country regulations. Provisions on homogeneous
retail loans and advances, subject to minimum provisioning requirements of RBI, are assessed at a borrower
level, on the basis of the ageing of the loans in the non-performing category. In respect of loans classified
as fraud, the entire amount, without considering the value of security, is provided for over a period of four
quarters starting from the quarter in which fraud has been detected. In accounts where there has been delay
in reporting the fraud to the RBI, the entire amount is provided immediately. In respect of borrowers classified
as non-cooperative borrowers, wilful defaulters and NPAs covered under distressed assets framework of
RBI, the Bank makes accelerated provisions as per extant RBI guidelines.
The Bank holds specific provisions against non-performing loans and advances, and against certain
performing loans and advances in accordance with RBI directions. The Bank also holds provisions on loans
under SDR scheme of RBI. The assessment of incremental specific provisions is made after taking into
consideration the existing specific provision held. The specific provisions on retail loans and advances held
by the Bank are higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.

b) Provision due to diminution in the fair value of restructured/rescheduled loans and advances is made in
accordance with the applicable RBI guidelines.

In respect of non-performing loans and advances accounts subjected to restructuring, the account is
upgraded to standard only after the specified period i.e. a period of one year after the date when first payment
of interest or of principal, whichever is later, falls due, subject to satisfactory performance of the account
during the period. A standard restructured loan is upgraded to the standard category when satisfactory
payment performance is evidenced during the specified period and after the loan reverts to the normal level
of standard asset provisions/risk weights.

c) Amounts recovered against debts written-off in earlier years and provisions no longer considered necessary
in the context of the current status of the borrower are recognised in the profit and loss account.

d) The Bank maintains general provision on performing loans and advances in accordance with the RBI
guidelines, including provisions on loans to borrowers having unhedged foreign currency exposure,
provision on exposures to step-down subsidiaries of Indian companies and floating provision taken over from
erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan upon amalgamation. For performing loans and advances in overseas branches,
the general provision is made at higher of host country regulations requirement and RBI requirement.

e) 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 categorised 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.

ii) In the case of the Banks housing finance subsidiary, loans and other credit facilities are classified as per the
NHB guidelines into performing and non-performing assets. Further, NPAs are classified into sub-standard,
doubtful and loss assets based on criteria stipulated by NHB. Additional provisions are made against specific
non-performing assets over and above what is stated above, if in the opinion of the management, increased
provisions are necessary.

iii) In the case of the Banks overseas banking subsidiaries, loans are stated net of allowance for credit losses. Loans
are classified as impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment
as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition on the loan (a loss event) and that loss
event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loans that can be reliably estimated.
An allowance for impairment losses is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb
identified credit related losses as well as losses that have occurred but have not yet been identified.

The total proportion of loans for which subsidiaries have applied accounting policies different from the Bank as
mentioned above, is approximately 10.22% of the total loans at March 31, 2016.

15. Transfer and servicing of assets


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 securitised loan contract. Recourse and servicing obligations are accounted for net of provisions.
In accordance with the RBI 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 amortised 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 RBI guidelines require the profit/premium arising from
securitisation to be amortised over the life of the transaction based on the method prescribed in the guidelines.
In the case of loans sold to an asset reconstruction company, the excess provision is not reversed but is utilised to
meet the shortfall/loss on account of sale of other financial assets to securitisation company (SC)/reconstruction
company (RC) in accordance with RBI guideline dated July 13, 2005. With effect from February 26, 2014, in accordance
with RBI guidelines, in case of non-performing loans sold to SCs/RCs, the Bank reverses the excess provision in profit
and loss account in the year in which amounts are received.
The Canadian subsidiary has entered into securitisation arrangements in respect of its originated and purchased
mortgages. ICICI Bank Canada either retains substantially all the risk and rewards or retains control over these
mortgages, hence these arrangements do not qualify for de-recognition accounting under their local accounting
standards. It continues to recognise the mortgages securitised as Loans and Advances and the amounts received
through securitisation are recognised as Other borrowings.

16. Fixed assets and depreciation
Premises and other fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Cost includes
freight, duties, taxes and incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the asset. Depreciation is
charged over the estimated useful life of a fixed asset on a straight-line basis. The useful life of fixed assets for
domestic group companies is based on past experience and expectation of usage, which for some categories of fixed
assets, is different from the useful life as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
Assets purchased/sold during the period are depreciated on a pro-rata basis for the actual number of days the asset
has been put to use.
In case of the Bank, items costing up to ` 5,000/- are depreciated fully over a period of 12 months from the date of
purchase. Further, profit on sale of premises by the Bank is appropriated to capital reserve, net of transfer to statutory
reserve and taxes, in accordance with RBI guidelines.
In case of revalued/impaired assets, depreciation is provided over the remaining useful life of the assets with reference
to revised asset values.

17. Accounting for derivative contracts


The Group enters into derivative contracts such as foreign currency options, interest rate and currency swaps, credit
default swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps.
The swap contracts entered to hedge on-balance sheet assets and liabilities are structured such that they bear an
opposite and offsetting impact with the underlying on-balance sheet items. The impact of such derivative instruments
is co-related with the movement of underlying assets and liabilities and accounted pursuant to the principles of
hedge accounting. Hedge swaps are accounted for on an accrual basis and are not marked to market unless their
underlying transaction is marked to market, except in the case of the Banks United Kingdom and Canadian banking
subsidiaries, where the hedging transactions and the hedged items (for the risks being hedged) are measured at fair
value with changes recognised in the profit and loss account.
Foreign currency and rupee derivative contracts entered into for trading purposes are marked to market and the
resulting gain or loss, (net of provisions, if any) is accounted for in the profit and loss account. Pursuant to RBI
guidelines, any receivables under derivative contracts which remain overdue for more than 90 days and mark-tomarket gains on other derivative contracts with the same counter-parties are reversed through the profit and loss
account.

18. Impairment of assets


The immovable fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is treated as impaired when its carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment is recognised by debiting the profit and loss account and
is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the impaired assets exceeds their recoverable value.

19. Lease transactions


Lease payments for assets taken on operating lease are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account over
the lease term on straight line basis.

20. Earnings per share


Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed in accordance with Accounting Standard 20 Earnings per share.

Basic Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if contracts to issue equity shares were
exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed using the weighted average
number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares issued by the group outstanding during the year, except
where the results are anti-dilutive.

3. Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)
In terms of the ESOS, as amended, the maximum number of options granted to any eligible employee in a financial
year shall not exceed 0.05% of the issued equity shares of the Bank at the time of grant of the options and aggregate
of all such options granted to the eligible employees shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued
equity shares of the Bank on the date(s) of the grant of options. Under the stock option scheme, eligible employees are
entitled to apply for equity shares. Options granted prior to March, 2014, except mentioned below, vest in a graded
manner over a four-year period, with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of the grants vesting in each year, commencing
from the end of 12 months from the date of grant. Options granted in April, 2009 vest in a graded manner over a
five-year period with 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months
from the date of grant. Options granted in September, 2011 vest in a graded manner over a five-years period with
15%, 20%, 20% and 45% of grant vesting each year, commencing from the end of 24 months from the date of the
grant. Options granted after March, 2014 vest in a graded manner over a three-year period with 30%, 30% and 40%
of the grant vesting in each year, commencing from the end of 12 months from the date of grant other than certain
options granted in April 2014 which will vest to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2017 and the balance on April 30,
2018. The options granted in September 2015 will vest to the extent of 50% on April 30, 2018 and 50% on April
30, 2019. However for the options granted in September 2015 if the participants employment terminates due to
retirement (including pursuant to any early/voluntary retirement scheme), the whole of the unvested options would
lapse. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date of vesting,
whichever is later. The exercise price of Banks options, except mentioned below, was the last closing price on the
stock exchange which recorded highest trading volume, one day prior to the date of grant of options. Hence, there
was no compensation cost based on intrinsic value of options.
In February 2011, the Bank granted 15,175,000 options to eligible employees and whole-time Directors of the Bank
and certain of its subsidiaries at an exercise price of ` 193.40. Of these options granted, 50% vested on April 30, 2014
and the balance 50% vested on April 30, 2015. The options can be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant
or five years from the date of vesting, whichever is later. Based on intrinsic value of options, compensation cost of
` 0.8 million was recognised during the year ended March 31, 2016 (March 31, 2015: ` 16.4 million).
If the Bank had used the fair value of options based on binomial tree model, compensation cost in the year ended
March 31, 2016 would have been higher by ` 3,726.5 million and proforma profit after tax would have been ` 93.54
billion. On a proforma basis, the Banks basic and diluted earnings per share would have been ` 16.11 and ` 16.02
respectively. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the year ended March
31, 2016 are given below.
Risk-free interest rate
Expected life
Expected volatility
Expected dividend yield

7.58% to 8.19%
3.16 to 5.78 years

1.62% to 2.11%

The weighted average fair value of options grantedduring the year ended March 31, 2016 was ` 100.50 (March 31,
2015: ` 90.09).

Includes general provision towards standard assets amounting to ` 3,175.6 million (March 31, 2015: ` 3,927.6 million).

The Group has assessed its obligations arising in the normal course of business, including pending litigations,
proceedings pending with tax authorities and other contracts including derivative and long term contracts. In
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard - 29 on Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets, the Group recognises a provision for material foreseeable losses when it has a present obligation as a
result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in
respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. In cases where the available information indicates that the loss
on the contingency is reasonably possible but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure to
this effect is made as contingent liabilities in the financial statements. The Group does not expect the outcome of
these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its financial results. For insurance contracts booked in its
life insurance subsidiary, reliance has been placed on the Appointed Actuary for actuarial valuation of liabilities
for policies in force.The Appointed Actuary has confirmed that the assumptions used in valuation of liabilities for
policies in force are in accordance with the guidelines and norms issued by the IRDAI and the Institute of Actuaries
of India in concurrence with the IRDA.

14. Sale of equity shareholding in insurance subsidiaries
Pursuant to approval by the Board of Directors of the Bank on November 16, 2015, the Bank sold equity shares representing
6% shareholding in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and 9% shareholding in ICICI Lombard General
Insurance Company Limited during the year ended March 31, 2016 for a total consideration of ` 19,500.0 million and
` 15,502.5 million respectively.
15. Provision on Funded Interest Term Loan
In 2008, RBI issued guidelines on debt restructuring, which also covered the treatment of funded interest in cases
of debt restructuring, that is, instances where interest for a certain period is funded by a Funded Interest Term
Loan (FITL) which is then repaid based on a contracted maturity schedule. In line with these guidelines, the Bank
had been providing fully for any interest income which is funded through a FITL for cases restructured subsequent
to the issuance of the guideline. However, during the year ended March 31, 2015, RBI required similar treatment of
outstanding FITL pertaining to cases restructured prior to the 2008 guidelines which were not yet been repaid. In view
of the above, and since this item relates to prior years, the Bank with the approval of the RBI debited its reserves by
` 9,291.6 million to fully provide outstanding FITLs pertaining to restructurings prior to the issuance of the guideline in
the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as against over three quarters permitted by RBI.
16. Additional disclosure
Additional statutory information disclosed in the separate financial statements of the Bank and subsidiaries having no
material bearing on the true and fair view of the consolidated financial statements and the information pertaining to the
items which are not material have not been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
17. Comparative figures
Figures of the previous year have been re-grouped to conform to the current year presentation.
Signatures to Schedules 1 to 18
