looking statements’. Investors can generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘continue’, ‘can’, ‘could’, ‘intend’, ‘may’, ‘shall’ ‘should’, ‘will’, ‘would’, ‘future’,
‘forecast’, ‘guideline’ or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the
strategies, objectives, plans or goals of our Bank are also forward-looking statements. However, these are not the
exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
performance and are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe plans and strategies
contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other forward-looking information.
Forward-looking statements contained in this Letter of Offer (whether made by our Bank or any third party), are
predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause
the actual results, performance or achievements of our Bank to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or other projections. All
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our Bank that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Bank’s expectations include, among others:
volatility in interest rates and other market conditions;
our inability to manage non-performing assets
our inability to compete effectively;
ability to manage credit, market and operational risk;
laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and norms applicable to the banking industry, including priority sector
lending requirements, capital adequacy and liquidity requirements
any inability to manage maturity and interest rate mismatches between our assets and liabilities;
adverse change in the economy of India; and
certain failures, including internal or external fraud, operational errors, system malfunctions, or cyber security
incidents.
Additional factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially include, but
are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12. Whilst our Bank believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, it cannot assure investors
that such expectations will prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, Investors are cautioned not to place

SECTION II: RISK FACTORS
An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information
in this Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our
Rights Equity Shares. The financial and other implications of material impact of risks concerned, wherever
quantifiable, have been disclosed in the risk factors mentioned below. However there are a few risk factors where
the impact is not quantifiable and hence the same has not been disclosed in such risk factors.
The occurrence of any of the following events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects and cause the market price of our Equity Shares to fall significantly,
and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, our business operations could also be affected by
additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider as immaterial to our operations.
The following factors have been considered for determining the materiality:
1. Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively;
2. Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively; and
3. Some events may not be material at present but may have material impact in future.
INTERNAL RISK FACTORS AND RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
1. We are involved in certain legal and other proceedings in India. If any of the pending cases is decided
against us, it may have a material adverse effect on our businesses, reputation, financial condition and
results of operations.
Our Bank is involved in various civil, criminal, consumer and tax related litigations which are at different
stages of adjudications before various forums. We are involved in litigations for a variety of reasons, which
generally arise in the normal course of business, when we seek to recover our dues from borrowers who
default in payment of the loans or when customers seek claims against us during the process of recovery of
our dues or for other service related issues.

successfully defend these or other claims, or if its current provisions prove to be inadequate, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
For further details in this regard, please refer to the chapter titled “Legal and Other Information” beginning
on page 67.
2. Our financial performance may be materially and adversely affected by fluctuating interest rates.
Our results of operations depend, to a great extent, on our net interest income. Net interest income comprised
69.73%, 70.55% and 67.66% of our total net income for the Fiscals 2015, 2016 and the quarter ended June
30, 2016, respectively, where total net income comprises the sum of our net interest income and other income.
Out of our gross advances, fixed interest rate bearing assets constituted 6.65%, 7.26% and 6.77% for the
Fiscals 2015, 2016 and the quarter ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and floating interest rate bearing assets
constituted 93.35%, 92.74% and 93.23% for the Fiscals 2015, 2016 and the quarter ended June 30, 2016,
respectively.
If the yield on our interest-earning assets does not increase at the same time or to the same extent as our cost
of funds, or if our cost of funds does not decline at the same time or to the same extent as the decrease in the
yield on our interest-earning assets, our net interest income and net interest margin would be adversely
impacted. Any systemic decline in low-cost funding available to banks in the form of current and savings
account deposits would adversely impact our net interest margin.
The implementation of RBI guidelines on the computation of lending rates based on the marginal cost of
funds methodology with effect from April 1, 2016, has led to lower lending rates, and more frequent revisions
in lending rates due to the prescribed monthly review of cost of funds. This has impacted the yield on our
interest-earning assets, our net interest income and net interest margin. Interest rates are highly sensitive to
factors beyond our control, including India's GDP growth, inflation, liquidity, the RBI’s monetary policies
and domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors. Our cost of funding is
interest-rate sensitive and our ability to pass along any increase in interest rates depends on our borrowers'
willingness to pay higher rates and the competitive landscape in which we operate. Volatility and changes in
interest rates could affect the interest rates we charge on our interest-earning assets in a manner different from
the interest rates we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities because of the different maturity periods applicable
to our assets and liabilities. An increase in interest rates applicable to our liabilities, without a corresponding
increase in interest rates applicable to our assets, will result in a decline in net interest income.
Under the regulations of the RBI, we are required to maintain a minimum specified percentage in the form
of SLR, currently 20.75%, of our net demand and time liabilities in Government or other approved securities
or in cash. Yields on these investments are dependent to a large extent on interest rates. In a rising interest
rate environment, especially if the increase is sudden or sharp, we could be adversely affected by the decline
in the yield on our Government securities portfolio and other fixed income securities and may be required to
further provide for depreciation in the Available for Sale (“AFS”) and Held For Trading (“HFT”) categories,
which may adversely impact our business and financial performance of our Bank.
Furthermore, in the event of rising interest rates, our borrowers may not be willing to pay correspondingly
higher interest rates on their borrowings and may choose to repay their advances with us if they are able to
switch to more competitively priced advances offered by other banks. In the event of falling interest rates,
we may face more challenges in retaining our customers if we are unable to switch to more competitive rates
as compared to other banks in the market. In addition, any volatility or increase in interest rates may also
adversely affect the rate of growth of certain sectors of the Indian economy. All these factors may have a
material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and results of operations.
3. Any increase in our portfolio of NPAs, RBI-mandated provisioning requirements or restructured advances
could materially and adversely affect our business and future financial performance
For the Fiscal years 2015, 2016 and the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our gross non-performing assets (“Gross
NPA”) represented 2.95%, 3.44% and 3.92% of our total gross advances respectively, and our NPAs (net of
provisions) (“Net NPA”) represented 1.98%, 2.35% and 2.61% of net advances respectively. As at March
31, 2015 and 2016 and as at June 30, 2016, our provision coverage ratio was 50.54%, 48.39% and 48.89%,
14
respectively.
If there is any deterioration in the quality of our security or further ageing of the assets after being classified
as non-performing, an increase in provisions will be required. This increase in provisions may adversely
impact our financial performance. While we have already made provisions for non-performing assets
(“NPA”) with respect to 31.42% and 33.52% of our Gross NPAs as at March 31, 2016 and as at June 30,
2016, respectively, we may need to make further provisions if there is dilution/deterioration in the security or
downgrading of the account or recoveries with respect to such NPAs do not materialize in time or at all. Our
NPAs can be attributed to several factors, including inconsistent industrial growth, the high level of debt in
the financing of projects and capital structures of companies in India and the high interest rates in the Indian
economy, which reduced the profitability of some of our borrowers.
In addition to the above, under the directed lending norms of RBI, we are required to extend 40.00% of our
adjusted net bank credit to certain eligible sectors, which are categorised as ‘priority sectors’. We may
experience an increase in NPAs in our lending to priority sectors, particularly with regard to loans that are
granted to the agriculture and small and micro enterprises, where the borrowers are most vulnerable to
economic difficulties.
Although we are increasing our efforts to improve recovery, we cannot assure you that we will be successful
in our efforts or that the overall quality of our loan portfolio may not deteriorate in the future. If we are unable
to successfully monitor and manage our portfolio, including during economic downturns, our asset quality
and as a result, our financial condition and results of operation, could be materially and adversely affected.
Our total gross standard restructured advances were ` 1,799.77 crore, ` 1,546.69 crore and ` 1,497.70 crore
as at March 31, 2015 and 2016 and as at June 30, 2016, respectively. We restructure assets based on
borrower’s potential to restore its financial health; however, there can be no assurance that borrowers will be
able to meet their obligations under restructured advances as per regulatory requirements and certain assets
classified as restructured, may be classified as delinquent. Any resulting increase in delinquency levels may
adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations; for example, in January 2014,
the RBI issued a framework and in March, 2014, a corrective action plan for early identification and resolution
of stressed assets. With effect from April 1, 2014, the guidelines introduced an asset classification category
of “special mention accounts”, which comprises cases that are not yet restructured or classified as non-
performing but which exhibit early signs of stress, as specified through various parameters. Banks in India
are also required to share data with each other on certain categories of special mention accounts, set up joint
lenders’ forums and formulate action plans for resolution of these accounts. Failure to do so may result in
accelerated provisioning for such cases.
Our gross non-performing loans increased from ` 944.21 crore as at March 31, 2015 to ` 1,180.40 as of
March 31, 2016 and to ` 1,389.36 crore as at June 30, 2016. Further, guidelines issued by the RBI relating to
the identification and classification of NPAs may result in an increase in our loans classified as non-
performing and provisioning requirements. Any review on asset quality by the regulator, during specific or
general inspection, can result in additional classification of our loans as NPAs thus increasing our
provisioning requirements and adversely impacting our profitability in the future.
If we are not able to adequately control or reduce the level of non-performing assets, or if the RBI continues
to impose increasingly stringent requirements, the overall quality of our loan portfolio could deteriorate,
which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
4. We are required to maintain cash reserve ratio (“CRR”) and statutory liquidity ratio (“SLR”). Any increase
in these requirements could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of the statutory reserve requirements stipulated by the RBI, we may be more exposed structurally
to interest rate risk than banks in many other countries. Under RBI regulations, we are subject to a CRR
requirement. The CRR is a bank’s balance held in a current account with the RBI calculated as a specified
percentage of its net demand and time liabilities, excluding interbank deposits. The CRR currently applicable
to banks in India is 4.00% and banks do not earn any interest on those reserves. In addition, under the Banking
Regulation Act, all banks operating in India are required to maintain SLR. The SLR is a specified percentage
of a bank’s net demand and time liabilities by way of liquid assets such as cash, gold or approved
unencumbered securities. Approved unencumbered securities consist of unencumbered Government
securities and other securities as may be approved from time to time by the RBI and would earn lower levels
15
of interest as compared to advances to customers or investments made in other securities. In the fourth bi-
monthly monetary policy statement of the RBI for the Fiscal year 2016, the ceiling on securities eligible for
SLR under the held to maturity (“HTM”) securities was aligned with the SLR and was accordingly brought
down from 22% to 21.50% with effect from January 9, 2016. Further, it was decided that both the SLR and
HTM ceiling would be brought down by 25 basis points every quarter until March 31, 2017. Currently, the
RBI requires banks to maintain a SLR of 20.75%.
The RBI may increase the CRR and SLR requirements to significantly higher proportions as a monetary
policy measure, as and when the same is warranted. Any increase in the CRR from the current levels could
affect our ability to deploy our funds or make investments, which could in turn have a negative impact on our
results of operations. If we are unable to meet the requirements of the RBI, the RBI may impose penal interest
or prohibit us from receiving any further fresh deposits, which may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
5. We are subject to capital adequacy norms and are required to maintain a CRAR at or above the minimum
level required by the RBI for domestic banks. There is no guarantee that we will be able to access capital
as and when it is needed for growth. If we fail to meet capital adequacy requirements, the RBI may take
certain actions, including restricting our lending and investment activities, and the payment of dividends
by us. These actions could materially and adversely affect our reputation and financial results.
We are required by the RBI to maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 9.625% (including capital
conservation buffer of 0.625%) in relation to our total risk-weighted assets.
In addition, the RBI issued Basel III Capital Regulations on May 2, 2012. The Basel III Capital Regulations
require, among other things, higher levels of Tier I capital and common equity, capital conservation buffers,
maintenance of a minimum prescribed leverage ratio on a quarterly basis and higher deductions from common
equity and changes in the structure of non-equity instruments eligible for inclusion in Tier I capital. The Basel
III Capital Regulations also set out elements of regulatory capital and the scope of the capital adequacy
framework, including disclosure requirements of components of capital and risk coverage. The transitional
arrangements for the implementation of Basel III capital regulations in India began on April 1, 2013 and the
guidelines are required to be fully implemented by March 31, 2019. In accordance with the Basel III capital
regulations, currently, we are required to maintain a minimum CET-I ratio of 5.5%, a capital conservation
buffer (CCB) (comprised of common equity) of 0.625%, a minimum Tier I capital ratio of 7.00%, of our risk
weighted assets (RWA).
As at June 30, 2016, our capital adequacy ratio under the Basel III Capital Regulations was 11.64%, with a
Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 10.27%, a Tier II capital adequacy ratio of 1.37% and CET I capital adequacy
ratio of 10.27%. As at March 31, 2016, our capital adequacy ratio under the Basel III Capital Regulations
was 12.03%, with a Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 10.56%, a Tier II capital adequacy ratio of 1.47% and
CET I capital adequacy ratio of 10.56% and as at March 31, 2015, under the Basel III regulations, our CRAR,
Tier I and Tier II capital adequacy ratios were 12.41%, 10.52% and 1.89% respectively. Although we are
currently in compliance with the applicable capital adequacy requirements, certain adverse developments
could affect our ability to satisfy these requirements in the future, including deterioration in our asset quality,
decline in the value of our investments and our inability to meet any regulatory requirements or changes.
We are exposed to the risk of the RBI increasing the applicable risk weight for different asset classes from
time to time. In addition, with the approval of the RBI, banks in India may migrate to advanced approaches
for calculating risk-based capital requirements in the medium term. If we fail to meet capital adequacy
requirements, the RBI may take certain actions, including restricting our lending and investment activities,
and the payment of dividends by us.
Further, continued compliance requirements with Basel III or other capital adequacy requirements imposed
by the RBI may result in the incurrence of substantial compliance and monitoring costs. Moreover, if the
Basel Committee releases additional or more stringent guidance on capital adequacy norms which are given
the effect of law in India in the future, we may be forced to raise or maintain additional capital in a manner
which could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to comply with such requirements or that any breach of applicable laws and regulations will
not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
6. The value of our collateral may decrease or we may experience delays in enforcing our collateral if
16
borrowers default on their obligations, which may result in failure to recover the expected value of
collateral security exposing us to a potential loss. This can adversely affect our business and the financial
performance of our Bank.
A substantial portion of our loans are secured by collateral, including real estate assets such as property, plant,
equipment, inventory, receivables, current assets and pledges of financial assets such as marketable securities
and corporate guarantees. The loans to corporate customers also include working capital credit facilities that
are typically secured by a first lien on inventory, receivables and other current assets. In certain cases, we
may have taken further security of a first or second lien on fixed assets and a pledge of financial assets like
marketable securities, corporate guarantees and personal guarantees. As at June 30, 2016, 91.31% of our
advances were secured by tangible assets/bank guarantees/government guarantees, including advances
secured by fixed deposits and book debts and 8.69% of our advances were unsecured.
In the event of our borrowers defaulting on the repayment of the loans, we may not be able to realize the full
value of the collateral due to various reasons, including a possible decline in the realisable value of the
collateral, defective title, prolonged legal proceedings and fraudulent actions by borrowers.
In India, foreclosure on collateral generally requires filing a suit or an application in a court or tribunal.
Although special tribunals have been set up for expeditious recovery of debts due to banks, any proceedings
brought may be subject to delays and administrative requirements that may result in, or be accompanied by,
a decrease in the value of the collateral. The SARFAESI Act, the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and
Financial Institutions Act 1993, as amended, and the RBI’s corporate debt restructuring mechanism have
strengthened the ability of lenders to recover NPAs by granting them greater rights to enforce security and
recover amounts owed from secured borrowers. However, there can be no assurance that this legislation will
have a favorable impact on our efforts to recover NPAs as the full effect of such legislation is yet to be
determined in practice.
Until recently, there were multiple overlapping laws and adjudicating forums dealing with financial failure
and insolvency of companies and individuals in India. Recognizing that reforms in the bankruptcy and
insolvency regime are critical for improving the business environment and alleviating distressed credit
markets, the Government of India introduced the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code Bill in November 2015
aimed at making it easier to wind up a failing business and recover debts. While the Insolvency and
Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (the "Code"), which came into effect on May 28, 2016 is a historical development
for economic reforms in India, its effect is yet to be seen when the institutional infrastructure and
implementing rules as envisaged under the Code are formed and enforced. Until the implementation of such
infrastructure is completed, it may not be possible to determine the effects of the Code.
In addition, pursuant to RBI prudential guidelines on restructuring of advances by banks, we may not be
allowed to initiate recovery proceedings against a corporate borrower where the borrower's aggregate total
debt is ` 10 crore or more and 60.00% of the lenders by number and holding at least 75.00% or more of the
borrower's debt by value decide to restructure their advances. In such a situation, we are restricted to a
restructuring process only as approved by the majority lenders. If we own 25.00% or less of the debt of a
borrower, we could be forced to agree to an extended restructuring of debt which may not be in our interests.
As on June 30, 2016, there was one case of our Bank’s recovery issues under corporate debt restructuring
aggregating to ` 42.59 crore constituting 2.38% of the total outstanding liability of the borrower (exposure to
banking sector being ` 1,787.98 crore). In this case, since our Bank owns less than 25% of the debt, we are
bound by the decision of other creditors.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to realize the full value of the collateral, as a result of, among
other factors, delays in bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings, the defects in the perfection of collateral and
fraudulent transfers by borrowers. A failure to recover the expected value of collateral security could expose
us to a potential loss. Such difficulties in realizing our collateral fully or at all, including if we are compelled
to restructure our loans, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results and
cash flow.
7. Regulations in India require us to extend a minimum level of advances to certain sectors. These may
subject us to higher delinquency rates. Our inability to comply with Indian priority sector lending
requirements may require us to invest in funds with a lower return than we would otherwise obtain in the
market.
17
The RBI mandates all banks that are operating in India to direct a certain portion of their lending to specified
“Priority Sector” such as agriculture, MSMEs, housing and education, and has specified a target for domestic
banks as a percentage of ANBC of corresponding previous year. RBI regulations specify that priority sector
requirements should be met on the basis of the credit equivalent of off-balance sheet exposure rather than
ANBC, if such off-balance sheet exposure by a bank is higher than its ANBC. The RBI specifies sub-
allocation requirements, including a minimum 18% of the ANBC or equivalent credit amount of off-balance
sheet exposure, whichever is higher, to the agriculture sector (8% to small and marginal farmers), 7.5% of
the ANBC or equivalent credit amount of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is higher, to micro
enterprises and 10% of the ANBC or equivalent credit amount of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is
higher, to weaker sections. In the case of any shortfall by us in meeting lending requirements, we are required
to place the difference between the required lending level and our actual priority sector lending in an account
with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development under the Rural Infrastructure
Development Fund Scheme, or funds with other financial institutions specified by the RBI, from which we
earn lower levels of interest as compared to loans made to the priority sector. Further, from April 1, 2016,
banks in India are required to comply with priority sector lending requirements on a quarterly basis which
can also result in lower levels of interest income and reduced profitability. Any requirements by the RBI that
specify changes in priority sector lending may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
As on March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the total credit extended by us to priority sectors constituted 47.57%
and 47.89%, respectively of our ANBC; and the credit extended to the agriculture sector constituted 17.19%
and 16.85%, respectively of our ANBC. Though we have met the target in relation to aggregate lending
required to be made to the priority sector for the year ended March 31, 2016, we have not been able to meet
the sub targets that have been set with respect to separate sectors under it.
In the case of any shortfall by us in meeting agriculture sector lending requirements, we would subsequently
be required to place the difference between the required lending level and our actual priority sector lending
in an account with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development under the Rural Infrastructure
Development Fund Scheme, or with other financial institutions specified by the RBI, from which we would
earn lower levels of interest compared to advances made to the priority sector. Further, the RBI is required to
take into account any shortfall in meeting specific priority sector lending targets, at the time of granting any
approvals sought by a bank, from time to time. Such circumstances could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any change in RBI regulations may require us to increase our lending to relatively higher risk segments,
which may result in an increase in our NPAs under our direct lending portfolio. Any increase in our direct
lending to certain sectors will result in an increase in our exposure to the payment risks inherent in such
sectors, which could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
8. Our risk management policies and procedures may not adequately address unanticipated risks. Inability
to develop and implement effective risk management policies may adversely affect our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations.
We have devoted significant resources to developing our risk management policies and procedures and expect
to continue to do so in the future. We have policies and procedures in place to measure, manage and control
the various risks to which we are exposed, including a Risk Management Policy that articulates our approach
to the identification, measurement, monitoring controlling and mitigation of various risks associated with our
banking operations in addition to providing certain important guidelines for strict adherence. Our other
important risk mitigants include our commercial general liability policy, standard fire and special perils
policy, burglary policy, banker’s indemnity policy and directors and officer’s liability policy and, in
compliance with the RBI’s guidelines on Basel II - Pillar 2 - Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process,
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process Policy. The Risk Management Committee of the Board and
the Board reviews our risk management policies annually. Despite this, our policies and procedures to identify,
monitor and manage risks may not be fully effective. Some of our methods of managing risk are based upon
the use of observed historical market behaviour. As a result, these methods may not accurately predict future
risk exposures which could be significantly greater than indicated by the historical measures.
Management of operations, legal and regulatory risks requires, among other things, policies and procedures
to properly record and verify a large number of transactions and events, and these policies and procedures
18
may not be fully effective. As we seek to expand the scope of our operations, we also face the risk of inability
to develop risk management policies and procedures that are appropriately designed for those new business
areas. Inability to develop and implement effective risk management policies may adversely affect our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
9. We have certain contingent liabilities which have not been provided for in our financial statements,
which if they materialise, may adversely affect our financial condition.
As on March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, we had a contingent liabilities, which have not been provided for,
amounting to ` 5,877.69 crore and ` 6,329.16 crore respectively, the details of which are given below:

Most of these liabilities have been incurred during the normal course of our business. In the event of there
being a crystallization of any of the above liabilities, we may be required to honour the demands raised. This
may materially and adversely impact our business, financial conditions, result of operations and prospects.
10. Our Joint Statutory Central Auditors have highlighted a matter of emphasis in relation to the audited
financial statements of our Bank as at and for the Fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.
Our Joint Statutory Central Auditors’ report on the financial statements as at and for the year ended March
31, 2016 included an Emphasis of Matter paragraph, that does not require any corrective adjustment in the
financial information, as follows:
“We draw attention to Note on the Financial Statements, regarding deferment of loss of ` 58.72 crore on sale
of advances to Asset Reconstruction Companies. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.”
For the reference, below is the relevant extract from note of Schedule 18 to the financial statements:
“Details of Financial Assets sold to Securitisation/Reconstruction Company for Asset Reconstruction:
In terms of RBI Circular DBR.No.BP.BC.94/21.04.048/2014-15 dated 21st May 2015, in respect of assets sold
to SC/ RCs, the shortfall arrived at by deducting the sale consideration and the provision held as on the date
of the sale from the outstanding amount, is to be amortised over 2 years. Accordingly for the sales that were
concluded during the current financial year, the Bank has charged to the Profit and Loss account an amount
of `16.36 Crore during the year ended March 31, 2016 on proportionate basis (previous year ` 10.42 Crore
) and balance carried over as at March 31, 2016 is ` 58.72 Crore (Previous Year - NIL)”
Investors are urged to take a note of the matter of emphasis in the course of reviewing and evaluating our
restated financial statements. For additional information, see the Joint Statutory Central Auditors' report on
our Audited Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included in this Letter of Offer.
11. There are operational risks associated with the banking industry, including the risk of fraud or other
misconduct by employees etc., which when realised may have an adverse impact on our results.
We are vulnerable to many types of operational risks, including the risk of fraud or other misconduct by
employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors, including clerical or
19
recordkeeping errors or errors resulting from faulty computer or telecommunications systems. Though we
carefully recruit all our employees, we have in the past been held liable for the fraudulent acts committed by
our employees. Following are the details of fraud cases reported in the last two Fiscals and for the quarter
ended June 30, 2016:
(Amount ` in Crore)
Quarter ended June 30, 2016 Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015
No of Cases Amount No. of cases Amount No. of cases Amount

On unearthing a fraud in gold loans recently, our Bank reported the fraud to the RBI on September 23, 2016
wherein one of the customers of our Bank got into close acquaintance with the branch heads and the concerned
jewel appraiser and availed the gold loans by pledging spurious gold in the names of various individuals for
his consumption. The total amount involved is ` 20.55 crore. We cannot guarantee you that such events will
not recur in the future. Any such event could adversely affect our reputation, operations, or otherwise have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Given the high volume of
transactions, certain errors may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and successfully
rectified. In addition, our dependence upon automated systems to record and process transactions may further
increase the risk that technical system flaws or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems will
result in losses that are difficult to detect. We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems,
arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond its control (including, for example, computer viruses
or electrical or telecommunication outages), which may lead to a deterioration in customer service and to loss
or liability. We also face the risk that the design of our controls and procedures prove to be inadequate, or
may be circumvented, thereby causing delays in detection of errors in information. Whilst we employ security
systems, use encrypted password-based protections and firewalls and establish operational procedures to
prevent break-ins, damages and failures, there can be no assurance that such measures are adequate to prevent
fraud, security breaches or the invasion or breach of the network by intruders and theft of data. Failure to
protect against fraud or breaches in security may adversely affect our operations and future financial
performance. Our reputation could be adversely affected by significant fraud committed by our employees,
agents, customers or third parties.
We maintain a disaster recovery center for our core banking applications at Mangaluru in the event that our
main computer center at Bengaluru shuts down for any reason. The system in Mangaluru is configured to
come into operation if the Bengaluru system is no longer operational. However, if for any reason, the switch
over to the back-up system does not take place or if a calamity occurs in both Bengaluru and Mangaluru such
that our business is compromised at both centers, our operations would be adversely affected.
12. We do not own our trademark and logo and our ability to use our trademark and logo may be impaired,
which may materially and adversely affect our goodwill and business.
We have not registered our trademark and logo and our ability to use our trademark and logo may be impaired.
We are in a business where customer trust is critical and if the customers no longer identify us, it may affect
our financial condition and result of operations. We also operate in a competitive environment where retention
and recognition will be a significant element of our business strategy. Further, in the event we lose our right
to use our trademark and our logo, our business could be adversely affected. Any legal proceedings which
result in a finding that we have breached third parties’ intellectual property rights may require us to give
financial compensation to such third parties and/or to make changes to our marketing strategies or to the
brand names of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. No legal proceedings have been initiated till date against our Bank with
regard to breach of intellectual property rights of third parties. However, there cannot be any assurance that
in future any such legal proceedings will not be initiated against our bank and such proceedings, if initiated,
could require us to incur additional costs and may adversely impact our reputation, business, financial
condition and results of operations.
13. Any non-compliance with mandatory AML and KYC policies could expose us to additional liability and
harm our business and reputation.
In accordance with the requirements applicable to banks, we are mandated to comply with applicable anti-
money laundering (“AML”) and know your client (“KYC”) regulations in India. These laws and regulations
require us, among other things, to adopt and enforce AML and KYC policies and procedures. While we have
20
adopted policies and procedures aimed at collecting and maintaining all AML and KYC related information
from our customers in order to detect and prevent the use of our banking networks for illegal money-
laundering activities, there may be instances where we may be used by other parties in attempts to engage in
money-laundering and other illegal or improper activities.
Although, we believe that we have adequate internal policies, processes and controls in place to prevent and
detect AML activity and ensure KYC compliance, and have taken necessary corrective measures, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to fully control instances of any potential or attempted violation by other
parties and may accordingly be subject to regulatory actions including imposition of fines and other penalties
by the relevant government agencies to whom we report. Our business and reputation could suffer if any such
parties use or attempt to use us for money-laundering or illegal or improper purposes and such attempts are
not detected or reported to the appropriate authorities in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
14. We are exposed to various industry sectors. Deterioration in the performance of any of the industry sectors
where we have significant exposure may adversely impact our business.
Our credit exposure to borrowers is dispersed across various sectors including, cotton and jute, infrastructure,
gems and jewellery, iron and steel, food and food products, chemicals and chemical products, construction
and other industries. Our credit exposure in the ‘Textile’ industry is the largest wherein we have outstanding
balance of ̀ 1,793.76 crore as on June 30, 2016, which constituted 25.20% of our our total industrial advances.
Despite monitoring our level of exposure to sectors and borrowers, any significant deterioration in the
performance of a particular sector driven by events not within our control, such as natural calamities,
regulatory action or policy announcements by central or state government authorities, would adversely impact
the ability of borrowers within that industry to service their debt obligations to us. As a result, we would
experience increased delinquency risk which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results and cash flow.
As on June 30, 2016, our Bank’s total industrial advances was ` 7,117.92 crore. Exposure to other industries
which constitutes more than 10% of our Bank's total funded industrial advances are given below:
Industry Name
Outstanding Balance as on June
30, 2016
(Amount in ` Crore)
Percentage of our total industrial
advances
(%)
Textiles* 1,793.76 25.20
Gems and Jewellery 494.65 6.95
* Including cotton/jute/textiles
15. We face income volatility from our fixed income operations. Any losses arising out of such volatility could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Income from our sale of investments comprised 6.72%, 3.38% and 7.75% of our total net income (which is
comprised of net interest income plus other income) for the Fiscals 2015, 2016 and quarter ended June 30,
2016, respectively. These figures include entering into trades for our own account, which exposes us to the
risk that we may lose money on these trades and on account of corporate and Government securities held by
us in the regular course of business.
Our income from these treasury operations is subject to volatility due to, among other things, changes in
interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as well as other market fluctuations. For example, an
increase in interest rates may have a negative impact on the value of certain investments such as Government
securities and corporate bonds. There can be no assurance that we will not lose money in the course of our
proprietary trading on our fixed income book held for trading and available for sale portfolio. Any such losses
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
16. We have previously been penalized for not being in compliance with the RBI circulars and may face further
penalties from the RBI and/or other regulatory bodies that govern us in cases of non-compliance in future.
In Fiscal 2016, we were subjected to a penalty of ` 6,300 towards certain discrepancies detected by the RBI
while processing soiled notes remittances received from currency chest. Further, in Fiscal 2012, we were
21
subjected to penalty of ` 5,00,000 for contravention of the comprehensive guidelines on derivatives issued
by the RBI for irregularities in the manner in which certain derivative transaction(s) were entered into and
monitored by us. For further details, please see “Legal and Other Information – Show-Cause Notices issued
by the RBI”. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to such penalties in the future.
17. We have a concentration of deposits from certain depositors, which exposes us to liquidity risk, the
crystallization of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows
results of operations and prospects.
As on June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, our Bank's deposits were ` 51,501.25 crore and ` 50,488.21 crore
respectively, compared with ` 46,008.61 crore on March 31, 2015. As on June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016,
our top ten depositors constituted 3.03% and 3.30% respectively, of our total deposits as compared to 3.57%
as at March 31, 2015.
If any or a substantial number of our top ten depositors withdraw their deposits or do not roll over their time
deposits upon maturity, we may be required to seek more expensive sources of funding, including paying
higher interest rates in order to attract and/or retain further deposits, and we cannot assure you that we will
be able to obtain additional funding on commercially reasonable terms as and when required. In such an
event, our Bank's liquidity position, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, and the price of the
Equity Shares may be materially and adversely affected.
18. Expansion of our fee based earning is dependent on our arrangements with third parties including
insurance companies. Termination of these arrangements may adversely impact our results of operations.
For the Fiscal 2016, our fee-based income i.e. ` 451.50 crore constituted 8.16% of our total income i.e. ` 5,535.07 crore. We intend to increase our fee-based income by expanding our third party product offerings
and by increasing our fee-based services. We market and sell the life insurance products of PNB MetLife
India Insurance Company Limited and general insurance products of Universal Sompo General Insurance
Company Limited. We earn fees and commissions for the distribution and sale of these products. However,
termination of these agencies or distribution agreements with such third party business associates or any
weakening of our relationship with these third party associates may have an adverse impact on our fee based
revenues and results of operations.
19. We could be adversely affected by the inability of our vendors to perform their contractual obligations.
Failure to perform these obligations by our vendors may materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We are dependent on various vendors for certain non-core elements of our operations including implementing
IT infrastructure and hardware, branch roll-outs, networking, managing our data center, and back-up support
for disaster recovery. We have also outsourced certain activities, including the installation and management
of our ATMs. Generally, we have agreements with only one service providers for each outsourced activity
and such agreements are typically non-exclusive and short term. However, if such agreements are terminated
or not renewed or replaced in a timely manner, this may result in a disruption of our operations. Failure to
perform any of these functions by our vendors or service providers may materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
20. The Government of India (“GoI”) has in the past and may in the future direct us to implement certain
schemes that are aimed at serving the interest of farmers and/or a cross section of the public. Such schemes
may not necessarily be aimed at maximizing our profits and may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
RBI has taken certain measures towards universal financial inclusion. On August 28, 2014, the Government
of India launched a scheme for comprehensive financial inclusion known as “Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
Yojana” (PMJDY) with the objectives of providing universal access to banking facilities, providing basic
banking accounts with overdraft facility and RuPay debit cards to all households, conducting financial literacy
programmes, creation of credit guarantee fund, micro-insurance and unorganised sector pension schemes.
The objectives are expected to be achieved in two phases over a period of four years up to August 2018. To
strengthen the financial inclusion efforts and increase the penetration of insurance and pension coverage in
the country, the Government of India has launched social security and insurance schemes, namely, Pradhan
Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana, in May
22
2015. We provide special schemes under which credit facilities and loans are extended to persons belonging
to weaker sections, which is aimed at facilitating the GoI’s initiative to empower them. Such schemes and
credit facilities provided to members of the weaker sections may not be as profitable as compared to lending
in the non-priority sector.
Due to above reasons, our business and result of operations may get adversely affected.
21. Most of our branches are located on leased premises. We may not be able to renew the lease agreements
for our branches upon favourable terms or at all which could have a material adverse affect on our
business and results of operations.
As at June 30, 2016, we had 733 branches and 1,297 ATMs, of which except 21 branches and 11 ATMs, all
our branches are housed on leased premises and are not owned by us. The general duration of the lease
agreements is ten years. Additionally, as at June 30, 2016, 17 of our leases for our branches and other office
premises had expired.
If we are unable to renew the relevant lease agreements, or if such agreements are renewed on unfavorable
terms and conditions, we may be required to relocate operations. We may also face the risk of being evicted
in the event that our landlords allege a breach on our part of any terms under these lease agreements. This
may cause a disruption in our operations or result in increased costs, or both, which may materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
22. Any downgrading in our credit rating could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
The rating agency ICRA has rated our ` 600 crore Lower Tier II Subordinated debt instruments (“Debt
Instruments”) as ‘A’. The rating agency CARE downgraded its ratings for the Debt Instruments from “A+”
to ‘A’ on September 4, 2012. On October 3, 2016, CARE reaffirmed its rating as ‘A’ for ` 600 crore Lower
Tier II Bonds. Further, ICRA has given “A1+” rating for certificate of deposits programme of ` 1,500 crore.
Credit rating is considered as an assessment of our ability to honour our financial commitments and
obligations as and when they become due. A downgrade in our credit rating may adversely affect our ability
to obtain funds and may increase financing costs by increasing the interest rates of our outstanding debt or
the interest rates at which we will be able to refinance existing debt or incur new debt, which will adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
23. Significant operational risks including security breaches, cyber-threats and failure in our computer
systems, and calamities could materially and adversely impact our business.
We depend on our computer systems to process a large number of transactions on an accurate and timely
basis, and to store all of our business and operating data. We seek to protect our computer systems and
network infrastructure from physical break-ins as well as security breaches and other disruptive problems.
These concerns could intensify with our increased use of technology, internet based resources and advanced
internet banking and mobile banking platform.
Computer break-ins and network disruptions could affect the availability of information stored in and
transmitted through these computer systems and network infrastructure. Bank uses Core Banking System
(CBS) to process customer transactions. Certain parts of the system may be vulnerable to security breaches
and other attacks. Our Bank employs security systems including firewalls and password encryption, designed
to minimise the risk of security breaches. Although our Bank intends to continue to implement security
technology and establish operational procedures to prevent break-ins, damage and failures, there can be no
assurance that these security measures will be adequate or successful. A failure of security measures could
have a material adverse effect on our Bank’s business, its future financial performance and the trading price
of the Equity Shares. We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems, arising from events that
are wholly or partially beyond our control (including, for example, computer viruses/malwares or electrical
or telecommunication outages), which may give rise to deterioration in customer service and to loss or
liability to us. If any of our systems do not operate properly or are disabled, we could suffer financial loss, a
disruption of businesses, liability to clients, regulatory intervention or damage to reputation, which may
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, we offer internet banking, mobile banking and many other technology based products and services
to our customers. We are therefore directly and indirectly exposed to various cyber-threats such as phishing
23
and trojans (targeting our customers, wherein fraudsters send unsolicited mails to our customers seeking
account-sensitive information or to infect customer machines to search and attempt exfiltration of account-
sensitive information), hacking (wherein attackers seek to hack into our website with the primary intention
of causing reputational damage to us by disrupting services) and data theft (wherein cyber-criminals may
attempt to intrude into our network with the intention of stealing our data or information). There is also the
risk of our customers blaming us and terminating their accounts with us for a cyber-incident that might have
occurred on their own system or with that of an unrelated third party. The RBI has, on June 2, 2016, issued a
framework for cyber-security for banks, prescribing measures to be adopted by banks to address security risks
including putting in place a cyber-security policy and requiring banks to report all unusual cyber-security
incidents to the RBI. Our Bank strives to comply with the guidelines issued by RBI or any other regulatory
body from time to time. Any cyber-security breach could also subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny and
expose us to civil litigation and related financial liability.
24. Non Compliance with RBI’s risk-based supervision model and RBI inspection/observations may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation
The RBI conducts periodic on-site/off-site inspections on all matters addressing our banking operations and
relating to, among other things, our Bank’s portfolio, risk management systems, credit concentration risk,
counterparty credit risk, internal controls, credit allocation and regulatory compliance. During the course of
finalizing this inspection, the RBI inspection team shares its findings and recommendations with us and
provides us an opportunity to provide clarifications, additional information and, where necessary, justification
for a different position, if any, than that observed by the RBI. The RBI incorporates such findings in its final
inspection report and, upon final determination by the RBI of the inspection results, we are required to take
actions specified therein by the RBI to its satisfaction, including, without limitation, requiring us to make
provisions, impose internal limits on lending to certain sectors and tighten controls and compliance measures
and restricting our lending and investment activities. Any significant deficiencies identified by the RBI that
we are unable to rectify to the RBI’s satisfaction could lead to sanctions and penalties imposed by the RBI,
as well as expose us to increased risks. Starting Fiscal 2015, our Bank has been subjected to the risk-based
supervision model which is being implemented by the RBI across the banking industry in a phased manner.
While the Bank has fulfilled the requirements of risk-based supervision process in Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal
2016, we may be required to comply with additional requirements to improve various aspects of our
operations. Any failure to meet regulatory requirements could materially and adversely affect our reputation,
business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, pending applications or requests with the
regulators and our ability to obtain the regulatory permits and approvals required to expand our business.
25. Our business and financial performance are dependent on increasing our area coverage through the
branch network, any failure to do so, will affect our future growth, thereby having a material adverse
impact on the business operations of our Bank
As on June 30, 2016, we had 733 branches across India. We intend to continue to increase and diversify our
customer base and delivery channels. In recent years, we have significantly increased our branch network.
Our number of branches has increased from 675 as at March 31, 2015 to 733 as at June 30, 2016. We intend
to continue to add new branches, ATMs and e-lobbies. Such expansion will increase the size of our business
and the scope and complexity of our operations, and will involve significant capital expenditure to establish
such branches. We may not be able to effectively manage this growth or achieve the desired profitability in
the expected timeframe, or at all, or meet the expected increase in our CASA percentage or improvement in
other indicators of financial performance from the expansion. Our efficiency and productivity will depend on
various internal and external factors, some of which are not under our control. This may affect our future
growth, thereby having a material adverse impact on the business operations of our Bank.
26. A major part of our branch network is concentrated in southern India and thereby exposing us to regional
risks.
As at June 30, 2016, out of our 733 branches, 574 branches are located in the southern states of India. 69.11%
of our business (advances + deposits) is conducted in the southern states of India as at June 30, 2016. Our
concentration in the southern states exposes us to any adverse geological, ecological, economic and/or
political circumstances in that region as compared to other public and private sector banks that have
diversified national presence. Any disruption, disturbance or breakdown in the economy of southern India
could adversely affect the result of our business and operations.
24
27. We operate in a highly competitive environment and our ability to grow depends on our ability to compete
effectively. The grant of new banking licenses to private sector entities may materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Indian banking industry is highly competitive. We face strong competition in all our lines of business
from much larger Indian and foreign commercial banks, non-banking financial companies, financial service
firms and other entities operating in the Indian financial sector. We compete directly with large Government-
controlled public sector banks, major private sector banks and foreign banks with branches in India. As at
March 31, 2016, there were 93 scheduled commercial banks in India, including 27 public sector banks, 23
private sector banks (including us) and 43 foreign banks with branches in India
Public sector banks, which generally have a much larger customer and deposit base, larger branch networks
and Government support for capital augmentation, pose strong competition to us. Mergers among public
sector banks may result in enhanced competitive strengths in pricing and delivery channels for the merged
entities. Further, a number of the private sector banks in India have a larger customer base and greater
financial resources than us, giving them a substantial advantage by enabling economies of scale and
improving organizational efficiencies.
The RBI has liberalized the licensing regime and intends to issue licenses on an on-going basis, subject to the
qualification criteria. In April 2014, the RBI issued in-principle banking licenses to two entities, one being a
non-banking finance company and the other was a microfinance institution. Both these entities began
operations during Fiscal year 2016. On August 19, 2015 the RBI granted in-principle approval to 11
applicants to set up payment banks. In September 2015, the RBI granted in-principle licenses to 10 applicants
for small finance banks, most of which are microfinance non-banking finance companies. The RBI has also
released guidelines with respect to a continuous licensing policy for universal banks in August 2016.
We also compete with foreign banks with operations in India. These competitors include a number of large
multinational banks and financial institutions as well as non-banking financial companies and housing finance
companies. In November 2013, the RBI released a framework for the setting up of wholly-owned subsidiaries
in India by foreign banks. The framework encourages foreign banks to establish a presence in India by
granting rights similar to those received by Indian banks, subject to certain restrictions and safeguards. Under
the current framework, wholly owned subsidiaries of foreign banks are allowed to raise Rupee resources
through issue of non-equity capital instruments. Further, wholly owned subsidiaries of foreign banks may be
allowed to open branches in Tier 1 to Tier 6 centres (except at a few locations considered sensitive on security
considerations) without having the need for prior permission from the RBI in each case, subject to certain
reporting requirements. These factors may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
28. Our insurance coverage could prove inadequate to satisfy potential claims. If we were to incur a serious
uninsured loss or a loss that significantly exceed the limits of our insurance policies, it could have a
material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
We do not carry insurance to cover all of the risks associated with our business, either because insurance
coverage is not available or prohibitively expensive. We have taken out insurance within a range of coverage
consistent with industry practice in India to cover certain risks associated with our business. We cannot assure
you that our current insurance policies will insure us fully against all risks and losses that may arise in the
future. In addition, even if such losses are insured, we may be required to pay a significant deductible on any
claim for recovery of such a loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed our coverage for the loss. In addition,
our insurance policies are generally subject to annual renewal, and we cannot assure you that we will be able
to renew these policies on similar or otherwise acceptable terms, if at all. If we were to incur a serious
uninsured loss or a loss that significantly exceed the limits of our insurance policies, it could have a material
adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
29. Negative publicity could damage our reputation and adversely impact our business and financial results.
Reputational risk, or the risk to our business, earnings and capital from negative publicity, is inherent in our
business. The reputation of the financial services industry in general has been closely monitored as a result
of the financial crisis and other matters affecting the financial services industry. Negative public opinion
about the financial services industry generally or us specifically, could adversely affect our ability to attract
and retain customers. Negative publicity can result from our actual or alleged conduct in any number of
25
activities, including lending practices, foreclosure practices, corporate governance, regulatory compliance,
sharing or inadequate protection of customer information, and actions taken by government regulators and
community organizations in response to that conduct. We distribute several third-party products, including
life insurance, general insurance etc. We also work in partnership with third parties, including business
correspondents in the financial inclusion businesses. We have no control over the actions of such third parties.
Any failure on the part of such third parties, including any failure to comply with applicable regulatory norms,
any regulatory action taken against such parties or any adverse publicity relating to such party could, in turn,
result in negative publicity about us and adversely impact our brand and reputation.
30. We may face labour disruptions that could interfere with our operations. Any such disruption in future
may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.
We are exposed to the risk of strikes and other industrial actions. As at June 30, 2016, we employed 7,775
employees. Majority of our employees are members of Karnataka Bank Employees Association and
Karnataka Bank Officers Organization. In the current Fiscal, our employees who are members of either one
of these two organizations participated in a nation-wide strike organized by the United Forum of Bank Unions
(UFBU) on July 29, 2016 and a nation-wide strike organized by the All India Bank Employees Association
and All India Bank Officers Association on September 2, 2016. In the last three Fiscals, our employees who
are members of either of the organisations as above, participated in two and one nation-wide strikes in Fiscals
2016 and 2015, respectively. Apart from the national labor strikes which affected the entire unionized banking
sector, we have not experienced disruptions in the past five years owing to work stoppages among our
unionized employees.
Although we believe that we have good industrial relations with our employees and the unions, we cannot
guarantee that our employees will not undertake or participate in strikes, work stoppage or other industrial
action in the future. Any such employee unrest events could disrupt our operations, possibly for a significant
period of time, result in increased wages and other benefits or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operation.
31. We operate in a regulated industry and any changes in the regulations or enforcement initiatives may
adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
The banking and financial sector in India is highly regulated and extensively supervised by authorities such
as the RBI. Our business could be directly affected by any changes in laws, regulations and policies for banks.
For example, in October 2011, the RBI deregulated interest rates on demand deposits and savings bank
deposits, which resulted in certain banks increasing their interest rates, leading to increased competition in
this area. Further, we may be compelled to increase lending to certain sectors or increase our reserves. We
are also subject to regular financial inspection by the RBI. In the event that we are unable to meet or adhere
to the guidance or requirements of the RBI, the RBI may impose strict enforcement of its observations on us,
and we may be subject to monetary fines and other penalties which may have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. The laws and regulations governing the banking sector
in India, including those governing the products and services that we provide or propose to provide could
change in the future. Such changes may also affect foreign investment limits in the banking industry or our
ability to invest in certain businesses. Any such change may require us to modify our business, which may
adversely affect our financial performance. The RBI guidelines and provisions of the Banking Regulation
Act also restrict our ability to pay dividends. The RBI also requires banks to maintain certain CRR and SLR,
and increases in such requirements could affect our ability to expand credit. Any requirements by the RBI
that specify changes in risk weighting and capital adequacy may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Further, any action by any regulator to curb fund inflows into India could
negatively affect our business.
Further, the RBI is empowered to supersede any decision of the board of directors of a bank and appoint an
administrator to manage the bank for a period of up to 12 months. The RBI may exercise such power where
it is satisfied, in consultation with the Central Government that it is in the public interest to do so, to prevent
the affairs of any bank from being conducted in a manner that is detrimental to the interest of the depositors,
or for securing the proper management of any bank.
In November 2012, the RBI published guidelines in accordance with the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision's document on "Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision". These
guidelines prescribe certain ratios to measure liquidity risk and are designed to measure, among others, the
26
extent to which volatile money supports a bank's basic earning assets, the extent to which assets are funded
through a stable deposit base, the degree of illiquidity embedded in the balance sheet, and the extent of
available liquid assets. Banks are also required to adhere to certain prescribed limits to reduce the extent of
concentration of their liabilities.
In June 2014, the RBI issued guidelines in relation to Liquidity Coverage Ratio ("LCR"), liquidity risk
monitoring tools and LCR disclosure standards pursuant to the publication of the "Basel III: The Liquidity
Coverage Ratio and liquidity risk monitoring tools" in January 2013 and the "Liquidity Coverage Ratio
Disclosure Standards" in January 2014 by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The LCR is intended
to ensure that banks maintain an adequate level of high quality liquid assets (“HQLAs”) to survive an acute
stress scenario lasting for 30 days. Pursuant to the guidelines, banks are required to maintain an LCR of 60%,
70%, 80%, 90% and 100% with effect from January 1, 2015, January 1, 2016, January 1, 2017, January 1,
2018 and January 1, 2019 respectively. Such requirement to maintain HQLA may affect our profitability and
any increase in the requirement will further adversely affected our profitability.
The RBI has issued draft guidelines on Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”) on May 28, 2015, which proposes
to make NSFR applicable to banks in India from January 1, 2018. For compliance towards NSFR norms, we
may have to borrow long term to fund long-term assets resulting in an increase in interest expense.
Compliance with regulations by the RBI including the new liquidity risk management guidelines may result
in the incurrence of substantial compliance and monitoring costs and restrict our growth or the viability of
certain businesses, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with such requirements or
that any breach of applicable laws and regulations will not adversely affect our reputation or our business,
operations and financial conditions.
32. We may face maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities which may result in an adverse impact on
our business and operations.
Most of our funding requirements are met through short-term and medium-term funding sources, primarily
in the form of deposits. A portion of our assets have long-term maturities, creating a possibility for funding
mismatches. In our experience, a substantial portion of our customer deposits have been rolled over on
maturity and have been, over time, a stable source of funding. However, in the event that a substantial number
of our depositors do not roll over deposits on maturity, our liquidity position and business could be adversely
affected. If the depositors do not renew deposits or our Bank is unable to raise new deposits, our Bank may
face a liquidity problem and may be required to pay higher interest rates to attract deposits, which may have
an adverse impact on our Bank’s business and operations.
33. If we are unable to adapt to rapid technological changes, our business, future financial performance could
suffer.
Our future success and ability to compete with other banks will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to
technological advances and emerging banking industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely
basis. The development and implementation of such technology entails significant technical and business
risks. There can be no assurance that our Bank will successfully upgrade or implement new technologies
effectively or adapt its transaction processing systems to customer requirements or emerging industry
standards. If our Bank is unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner
to changing market/technological conditions, customer requirements or technological changes, our business,
the future financial performance of our Bank could be materially affected.
34. We rely on the accuracy and completeness of information provided to us about our customers and
counterparties which if not accurate and complete may have a negative impact on our financial condition.
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties, we
may rely on information furnished to us by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial
statements and other financial information. We may also rely upon certain representations as to the accuracy
and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent
auditors. For example, in deciding whether to extend credit, we may assume that a customer’s audited
financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles and present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer. The difficulties
associated with the inability to accurately assess the value of collateral and to enforce rights in respect of
27
collateral, along with the absence of such accurate statistical, corporate and financial information may
decrease the accuracy of our assessments of credit risk, thereby increasing the likelihood of borrower default
on our loan and decreasing likelihood that we would be able to enforce any security on respect of such loan.
Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected by relying on financial
statements that do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles or other information that is
materially misleading or by relying on information furnished to us by or on behalf of our customers and
counterparties.
35. If we are not able to renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals and licenses
required to operate our business, it may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
We require a number of regulatory approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for operating our
business, including those at a corporate level as well as at the level of each of our branches. Many of these
approvals are required to be renewed from time to time. While we believe that we currently have or have
applied for all material approvals required for our business, we may not have, or may not receive, all necessary
approvals, or be able to obtain renewals of all our approvals within the time frames anticipated by us or may
not obtain the same at all, which could adversely affect our business.
We have licenses from RBI for our banking and other operations, IRDAI corporate agent license and
registration from SEBI to act as “banker to an issue” and “depository participant”. However, our operations
are subject to continued review and the governing regulations may change. Failure to obtain, renew or
maintain any required approvals, permits or licenses may result in the interruption of all or some of our
operations and could materially and adversely affect our business and financial results. Further, failure to
obtain approvals could constrain our ability to scale-up our business or to introduce new products and services.
36. New product/services offered by us may not be successful and we may not grow in any new business area
which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation
We introduce new products/services to explore new business opportunities on a regular basis. We cannot
assure you that all our new products/services will gain customer acceptance and this may result in our
incurring pre-operative expenses and launch costs without any assurance that such products will be successful
or may fail market penetration. Further, our inability to grow in any new business areas could adversely affect
our business and financial performance.
37. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, cash
flows, capital expenditure, long-term target payout ratios, growth & investment opportunities, current
capital ratios, current & prospective financial performance and other macro & micro-economic factors.
The details of dividend paid by our Bank in the last two Fiscals are as follows:
Financial Year Dividend Per Share (In `)
2015-16 5.00
2014-15 5.00
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition and capital
requirements (as impacted by Basel III). Further, dividends distributed by us will attract dividend distribution
tax and may be subject to other requirements prescribed by the RBI. Dividends that we have paid in the past
may not be reflective of the dividends that we may be able to pay in the future.
38. We rely extensively on our information technology systems and the telecommunications network in India,
which require significant investment and expenditure for regular maintenance, upgrades and
improvements. Any failure in our information technology systems may materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our information technology systems are a critical part of our business that help us manage, among other
things, our risk management, deposit servicing and loan origination functions, as well as our increasing
portfolio of products and services. We are heavily reliant on our technology systems in connection with
financial controls, risk management and transaction processing. In addition, our delivery channels include
ATMs, mobile banking, customer care centre and the internet. Our offline and online business channel
28
networks are dependent on a dense, comprehensive telecommunications network in India. While deregulation
and liberalization of telecommunications laws have prompted the steady improvement in local and long-
distance telephone services, telephone network coverage and accessibility is still intermittent in many parts
of India. Failure by the Indian telecommunications industry to improve network coverage to meet the
demands of the rapidly growing economy may affect our ability to expand our customer base, acquire new
customers or service existing customers by limiting access to our services and products. This may materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We use our information systems and the internet to deliver services to, and perform transactions on behalf of,
our customers and we may need to regularly upgrade our systems, including our software, back-up systems
and disaster recovery operations, at substantial cost so that it remains competitive. Our hardware and software
systems are also subject to damage or incapacitation by human error, natural disasters, power loss, sabotage,
computer viruses and similar events or the loss of support services from third parties such as internet backbone
providers. So far, we have not experienced widespread disruptions of service to our customers, but there can
be no assurance that we will not encounter disruptions in the future due to substantially increased numbers of
customers and transactions, or for other reasons. Any inability to maintain the reliability and efficiency of our
systems could adversely affect our reputation, and our ability to attract and retain customers. In the event we
experience system interruptions, errors or downtime (which could result from a variety of causes, including
changes in customer use patterns, technological failure, changes to systems, linkages with third-party systems
and power failures), we are unable to develop necessary technology or any other failure occurs in our systems,
this may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
39. We rely on our correspondent banks in other countries to facilitate our foreign exchange operations. Any
failure to maintain such relationships or enter new such relationships could impact our ability to grow our
foreign exchange business.
We maintain Nostro accounts in foreign currencies with 14 correspondent foreign banks for facilitating our
treasury, trade and remittance transactions. Such accounts facilitate inward and outward remittance, whereby
our customers can remit funds to India in any of the currencies for which we have opened such accounts, by
instructing their banks to remit the funds to our Nostro account maintained in that particular currency. In case
we intend to cater to a different foreign location or currency, we may need to open such Nostro accounts with
the correspondent banks in those locations. Opening and maintaining such accounts requires compliance with
strict KYC norms and any failure to adhere to such norms may result in the correspondent bank closing these
accounts. Further, a correspondent bank may discontinue any of the services that it offers in relation to such
accounts, which may result in customer dissatisfaction. We cannot assure you that we will be able retain our
existing correspondent banks or enter into similar arrangements with new correspondent banks on
commercially reasonable terms or at all. In the event that we are unable to open new accounts or continue to
maintain existing accounts with our correspondent banks for any reason whatsoever, we could be forced to
scale back our treasury, trade and remittance business, which could adversely affect our business, cash flows,
results of operations and financial condition.
40. Any inability to attract and retain talented professionals may materially and adversely impact our business.
Our performance and success depends largely on our ability to nurture and retain the continued service of our
management team and skilled personnel. There is significant competition for management and other skilled
personnel in the banking industry. We are dependent on our key personnel. Further, we do not have a key-
man insurance policy to cover for loss of our skilled personnel. We are dependent on our key personnel for
smooth operations of our business activities. Attracting and retaining talented professionals is a key element
of our strategy and we believe it to be a significant source of competitive advantage.
Additionally, should the banking industry move towards incentive-based pay schemes, we may not be as
competitive as other banks. This may increase the possibility of our skilled personnel moving to more
attractive employment opportunities. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue our successful
hiring of talented and key personnel in the future. The loss of key personnel or our inability to replace such
personnel effectively may materially and adversely affect our ability to grow and operate our various business
functions in an efficient manner.
41. Your holdings may be diluted by additional issuances of equity and any dilution may adversely affect the
market price of our Equity Shares.
29
We are a banking company regulated by the RBI. The RBI has set out minimum capital adequacy standards
for banks based on the guidelines of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Under the “Master
Circular - Prudential Guidelines on Capital Adequacy and Market Discipline - New Capital Adequacy
Framework” dated July 1, 2015, a bank is required to maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 9% on
an on-going basis (other than capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer etc.) and
eencouraged to maintain a Tier 1 CRAR of 7.00%. As per our audited financial statements for the financial
year 2015-16, our total capital adequacy ratio under Based III was 12.03%. However, considering the future
growth plans and increase in risk weighted assets, our Bank would require additional capital to meet the Basel
III norms.
We may be required to finance our growth through additional equity offerings. Any future issuance of our
equity shares could dilute the holdings of investors in our Bank and could adversely affect the market price
of our Equity Shares.
EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
1. Our risk profile is linked to the Indian economy and the banking and financial markets in India.
The credit risk we are exposed to may be higher than the credit risk of banks in some developed economies.
The absence of reliable information, including audited financial statements, recognized debt rating reports
and credit histories relating to our present and prospective corporate borrowers or other customers makes the
assessment of credit risk, including the valuation of collateral, more difficult, especially for individuals and
small businesses. In addition, the credit risk of our borrowers is higher than borrowers in more developed
economies due to the evolving Indian regulatory, political, economic and industrial environment. The directed
lending norms of the RBI require us to lend a certain proportion of our advances to "priority sectors",
including agriculture and small enterprises, where our ability to control the portfolio quality is limited and
where economic difficulties are likely to affect our borrowers more severely. Any shortfall may be required
to be allocated to investments yielding sub-market returns.
In addition to credit risks, we also face additional risks in comparison to banks operating in developed
economies. We pursue our activities in India, a developing economy with all of the risks that come with such
an economy. Our activities in India are widespread and diverse and involve employees, contractors,
counterparties and customers with widely varying levels of education, financial sophistication and wealth.
Although we seek to implement policies and procedures to reduce and manage market place risks as well as
risks within our own organization, some risks remain inherent in doing business in a large, developing
country. We cannot eliminate these market place and operational risks, which may lead to legal or regulatory
actions, negative publicity or other developments that could reduce our profitability. In the aftermath of the
financial crisis, regulatory scrutiny of these risks is increasing.
2. Financial difficulty and other problems in certain long-term lending institutions and investment
institutions in India could have a negative impact on our business.
We are exposed to the risks prevailing in the Indian financial system which, in turn, may be affected by
financial difficulties and other problems faced by certain Indian financial institutions. As an emerging market
economy, the Indian economy faces risks not typically faced in developing countries despite the existence of
a national deposit insurance scheme. Certain Indian financial institutions have experienced difficulties during
recent years. Some cooperative banks have also faced serious financial and liquidity crises. The problems
faced by individual Indian financial institutions and any instability in or difficulties faced by the Indian
financial system generally could create adverse market perception about financial institutions and banks in
India. This, in turn, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
3. A decline in India's foreign exchange reserves may affect liquidity and interest rates in the Indian
economy, which could have an adverse impact on us. A rapid decrease in reserves would also create a risk
of higher interest rates and a consequent slowdown in growth.
Flows to foreign exchange reserves can be volatile, and past declines may have adversely affected the
valuation of the Rupee. There can be no assurance that India's foreign exchange reserves will not decrease
again in the future. Further decline in foreign exchange reserves, as well as other factors, could adversely
affect the valuation of the Rupee and could result in reduced liquidity and higher interest rates that could
30
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Bank is subject to risks relating to macroeconomic conditions in India. As reported by the RBI in its
financial stability report dated June 28, 2016, risks to India’s banking sector have increased since December
2015, mainly on account of a further deterioration in asset quality and low profitability. While the credit and
deposit growth of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) slowed significantly during 2015-16, their overall
capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (CRAR) level increased between September 2015 and March 2016. The
risk-weighted assets (RWA) density declined during this period.
The RBI’s June 28, 2016 financial stability report noted that the business of scheduled commercial banks
(“SCBs”) slowed significantly during 2015-16. The gross NPA ratio increased sharply, largely reflecting
reclassification of restructured standard advances as non-performing. Consequently, the restructured standard
advances ratio declined but with a marginal increase in the overall stressed advances ratio from 11.3 per cent
in September 2015 to 11.5 per cent in March 2016.
The gross NPAs rose sharply to 7.6 per cent of gross advances in March 2016 from 5.1 per cent in September
2015, largely reflecting re-classification of restructured advances to NPAs following an asset quality review
(AQR). Consequently, the overall stressed advances rose only marginally to 11.5 per cent from 11.3 per cent
during the period, due to a reduction in restructured standard advances ratio from 6.2 per cent in September
2015 to 3.9 per cent in March 2016.
We have little or no control over any of these risks or trends and may be unable to anticipate changes in
economic conditions. Adverse effects on the Indian banking system could impact our funding and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
4. We may face greater credit risks than banks in more developed countries.
Our principal business is to provide financing to our customers. We are subject to the credit risk that our
borrowers may not pay in a timely fashion or at all. Nevertheless, the credit risk of our borrowers may be
higher than that in more developed countries due to the higher uncertainty in the Indian political, economic
and industrial environment.
In addition, India's system for gathering and publishing statistical information relating to the Indian economy
and the financial performance of companies is not as comprehensive as those of established market
economies. Although India has a credit bureau industry, adequate information regarding loan servicing
histories, particularly in respect of individuals and small businesses, is limited. As a result, our Bank's credit
risk exposure is higher compared with banks operating in advanced markets. Since the Bank's lending
operations to the aforesaid categories are limited to India, our Bank may be exposed to a greater potential for
loss compared with banks with lending operations in more developed countries. Our Bank is subject to credit
risk that the borrowers may not pay the Bank in a timely fashion or at all. The difficulties associated with the
inability to accurately assess the value of collateral and to enforce rights in respect of collateral, along with
the absence of such accurate statistical, corporate and financial information, may decrease the accuracy of
our assessments of credit risk, thereby increasing the likelihood of borrower default on our loan and
decreasing the likelihood that we would be able to enforce any security in respect of such a loan. The absence
of reliable information, including audited financial statements, recognized debt rating reports and credit
histories relating to our present and prospective corporate borrowers or other customers makes the assessment
of credit risk, including the valuation of collateral, more difficult, especially for individuals and small
businesses.
If our screening processes prove to be inadequate, we may experience an increase in impaired advances and
may be required to increase our provision for defaulted advances. As a result, higher credit risk may expose
us to greater potential losses, which may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
5. Acts of terrorism and other similar threats to security could adversely affect our business, cashflows,
results of operations and financial condition.
Increased political instability, evidenced by the threat or occurrence of terrorist attacks, enhanced national
security measures, conflicts in several regions in which we operate, strained relations arising from these
conflicts and the related decline in customer confidence may hinder our ability to do business. Any acts of
31
terrorism or acts of similar nature in the future may disrupt our operations or those of our customers. These
events have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the global economy and customer
confidence, which could, in turn, adversely affect our revenue, operating results and financial condition. The
impact of these events on the volatility of global financial markets could increase the volatility of the market
price of our securities and may limit the capital resources available to us and to our customers
6. You will not, without prior RBI approval, be able to acquire Equity Shares if such acquisition would result
in an individual or group holding 5.00% or more of our share capital or voting rights; you may not be able
to exercise voting rights in excess of 10.00% of the total voting rights.
The Banking Regulation Act, as amended on January 18, 2013, read with the Reserve Bank of India (Prior
Approvals for Acquisition of shares or voting rights in Private Sector Banks) Directions, 2015, requires any
person to seek prior approval of the RBI, to acquire or agree to acquire shares or voting rights of a bank,
either directly or indirectly, beneficial or otherwise, by himself or acting in concert with other persons,
wherein such acquisition (taken together with shares or voting rights held by him or his relative or associate
enterprise or persons acting in concert with him) results in the aggregate shareholding of such persons to be
5.00% or more of the paid-up share capital of a bank or entitles him to exercise 5.00% or more of the voting
rights in a bank.
The RBI, as per Master Direction – Ownership in Private Sector Banks, Directions, 2016 released on May
12, 2016, laid out shareholding and voting rights limits in Private Sector Banks. It restricts ownership limits
of individuals and non-financial entities (other than the promoter and promoter group) at 10.00% of the paid-
up capital. In the case of entities from the financial sector, other than regulated or diversified or listed, the
limit is 15.00% of the paid-up capital.
Further, any acquisition of shareholding/voting rights of 5.00% or more of the paid-up capital of the bank or
total voting rights of the bank shall be subject to obtaining prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India.
Such approval may be granted by the RBI if it is satisfied that the applicant meets certain fitness and propriety
tests. The RBI may require the proposed acquirer to seek further RBI approval for subsequent acquisitions.
Further, the RBI may, by passing an order, restrict any person holding more than 5.00% of our total voting
rights from exercising voting rights in excess of 5.00%, if such person is deemed to be not fit and proper by
the RBI.
7. Natural disasters could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and damage our facilities.
Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or famines have in the past had a negative impact on the Indian
economy. If any such event were to occur, our business could be affected due to the event itself or due to our
inability to effectively manage the effects of the particular event. Potential effects include the damage to
infrastructure and the loss of business continuity or business information. In the event that our facilities are
affected by any of these factors, our operations may be significantly interrupted, which may materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
8. Political instability or changes in the government in India or in the governments of the states where we
operate could cause us significant adverse effects.
Our Bank is incorporated in India and currently derives all of its revenues from operations in India and all of
our assets are located in India. Consequently, our performance, market price and liquidity of our Equity
Shares may be affected by changes in control, government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability,
social/civil unrest and other political and economic developments affecting India. Our business is also
impacted by regulations and conditions in the various states in India where we operate. The Government of
India has traditionally exercised, and continues to exercise, a significant influence over many aspects of the
economy. The current government has announced that its general intention is to continue India's current
economic and financial sector liberalization and deregulation policies. However, there can be no assurance
that such policies will be continued, and a significant change in the government's policies could affect
business and economic conditions in India, and could also adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows
and results of operations. Any political instability could affect specific laws and policies affecting foreign
investment. A significant change in the government's policies, in particular, those relating to the banking
sector in India, could adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition,
prospects and could cause the price of our Equity Shares to decline.
32
9. Any downgrading of India's debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative impact
on our business and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
India's sovereign debt rating could be downgraded due to various factors, including changes in tax or financial
policy or a decrease in India's foreign exchange reserves. According to the RBI, India's total foreign exchange
reserves were over U.S. $ 366.78 billion as on August 26, 2016. India's foreign exchange reserves have grown
consistently in the past. (Source: Reserve Bank of India). However, any decline in foreign exchange reserves
could adversely affect the valuation of the Indian Rupee and could result in reduced liquidity that could
adversely affect our future financial performance and the market price of the Equity Shares and could result
in a downgrade of India's debt ratings. Any adverse revisions to India's credit ratings for domestic and
international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact our business and limit our access to
capital markets, increase the cost of funds, adversely impact our liquidity position, our shareholders’ funds
and the price of our Equity Shares.
10. Public companies in India, including us, will be required to prepare financial statements under IND-AS.
We have not determined with any degree of certainty the impact of such adoption on our financial
reporting.
As stated in the reports of M/s Kamath & Rau and M/s Abarna & Ananthan, the Joint Statutory Central
Auditors of our Bank, included in this Letter of Offer, our Audited Financial Statements and Limited Review
Financial Statements, are prepared and presented in conformity with Indian GAAP. The Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India has issued IND-AS (a revised set of accounting standards) which converges the Indian
accounting standards with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs
has confirmed the IND-AS for adoption.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 on
February 16, 2015. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, in its press release dated January 18, 2016, issued a
roadmap for implementation of IND-AS converged with IFRS for scheduled commercial banks, insurers,
insurance companies and non-banking financial companies. This roadmap requires these institutions to
prepare IND-AS based financial statements for the accounting periods beginning from April 1, 2018 onwards
with comparatives for the periods ending March 31, 2018. The RBI, by its circular dated February 11, 2016,
requires all scheduled commercial banks to comply with IND-AS for financial statements for the periods
stated above. The RBI does not permit banks to adopt IND-AS earlier than the above timeline and the
guidelines also state that the RBI shall issue necessary instruction, guidance, and clarification on the relevant
aspects for implementation of the IND-AS as and when required.
While we have been discussing the possible impact of IND-AS on our financial reporting, the nature and
extent of such impact is still uncertain. Further, the new accounting standards will change, among other things,
our methodology for estimating allowances for expected loan losses and for classifying and valuing our
investment portfolio and our revenue recognition policy. For estimation of expected loan losses, the new
accounting standards may require us to calculate the present value of the expected future cash flows realizable
from our advances, including the possible liquidation of collateral (discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate). This may result in us recognizing allowances for expected loan losses in the future which may be higher
or lower than under current Indian GAAP. There can be no assurance, therefore, that our financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders' equity will not appear materially worse under
IND-AS than under Indian GAAP. In our transition to IND-AS reporting, we may encounter difficulties in
the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing our management information systems. Moreover, there
is increasing competition for the small number of IFRS-experienced accounting personnel available as more
Indian companies begin to prepare IND-AS financial statements. Further, there is no significant body of
established practice on which to draw in forming judgments regarding the new system's implementation and
application. There can be no assurance that our adoption of IND-AS will not adversely affect our reported
results of operations or financial condition and any failure to successfully adopt IND-AS could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
11. The market value of the Equity Shares may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Indian securities markets.
Indian securities markets may be more volatile than and not comparable to the securities markets in certain
countries with more developed economies. Indian stock exchanges have, in the past, experienced substantial
fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. Indian stock exchanges (including the BSE and the NSE) have
experienced problems which, if such or similar problems were to continue or recur, could affect the market
33
price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, including the Equity Shares. These problems have
included temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. In addition,
the governing bodies of Indian stock exchanges have, from time to time, imposed restrictions on trading in
certain securities, limitations on price movements and margin requirements. Further, from time to time,
disputes have occurred between listed companies, stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which in
some cases may have a negative effect on market sentiment.
12. Our business and activities may be further regulated by the Competition Act and any adverse application
or interpretation of the Competition Act could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The Competition Act seeks to prevent business practices that have or are likely to have an appreciable adverse
effect on competition in India and has established the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”). Under
the Competition Act, any arrangement, understanding or action, whether formal or informal, which has or is
likely to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition is void and attracts substantial penalties. Further,
the Competition Act prohibits the abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proven that a breach
of the Competition Act committed by a company took place with the consent or connivance or is attributable
to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of such company, that person
shall be guilty of the breach themselves and may be punished as an individual. If we, or any of our employees,
are penalized under the Competition Act, our business may be adversely affected. Further, the Competition
Act also regulates combinations and requires approval of the CCI for effecting any acquisition of shares,
voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations above the prescribed asset and turnover based
thresholds.
It is difficult to predict the impact of the Competition Act on our growth and expansion strategies in the future.
If we are affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the
Competition Act or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI or any adverse publicity that may be
generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, it may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
13. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of corporate
and tax laws, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and
prospects.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. Such
changes, including the instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition and prospects, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with
any such changes in applicable law and policy.
The GoI proposed to revamp the implementation of direct taxes by way of the introduction of the
Direct Tax Code.
The GoI has proposed a comprehensive national goods and services tax (“GST”) regime that will
combine taxes and levies by the central and state Governments into a unified rate structure. It is unclear
from when such tax regime will be effective. The Indian Parliament, on September 8, 2016, vide a
constitutional amendment, has inserted Article 246A into the Constitution of India to further enable
the implementation of the GST, which has received assent from the President of India. While the
GoI and other state governments have announced that all committed incentives will be protected
following the implementation of the GST, given the limited availability of information in the public
domain concerning the GST and the various governing rules, we are unable to provide any assurance
as to this or any other aspect of the tax regime following implementation of the GST. The
implementation of this rationalized tax structure may be affected by any disagreement between
certain state governments, which may create uncertainty. Any such future increases or
amendments may affect the overall tax efficiency of companies operating in India and may result in
significant additional taxes becoming payable.
Further, the GAAR are proposed to be made effective from April 1, 2017. In the absence of any
precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is uncertain. If the GAAR provisions are
made applicable to our Bank, it may have an adverse tax impact on us.
34
We have not determined the impact of these proposed legislations on our business. Uncertainty in the
applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation
or policy in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of
administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may
impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future 14. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Rights Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, capital gains arising from the sale of shares in an Indian
company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realised on the sale of listed equity shares on a stock
exchange held for more than 12 months is exempted from capital gains tax in India if securities transaction
tax (“STT”) has been paid on the transaction. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock
exchange on which the Shares are sold. Any gain realised on the sale of equity shares held for more than 12
months to an Indian resident, which are sold other than on a recognised stock exchange and on which no STT
has been paid, will be subject to long-term capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realised on the sale of
listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in
India. For further details, please see “Statement of Special Tax Benefits” on page 52.
15. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on the BSE and
the NSE in a timely manner, or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Equity Shares issued
pursuant to the Issue will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval
for listing and trading will require all relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be
submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the BSE and the NSE. Any failure
or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict an investor's ability to dispose of the Equity Shares.
16. Investors will be subject to market risks until the Equity Shares credited to the investor’s demat account
are listed and permitted to trade.
Investors can start trading the Equity Shares allotted to them only after they have been credited to an investor’s
demat account, are listed and permitted to trade. Since our Equity Shares are currently traded on the BSE and
the NSE, investors will be subject to market risk from the date they pay for the Equity Shares to the date when
trading approval is granted for the same. Further, there can be no assurance that the Equity Shares allocated
to an investor will be credited to the investor’s demat account or that trading in the Equity Shares will
commence in a timely manner. The exchanges have in the past experienced problems, including temporary
exchange closures, broken defaults, settlements delay and strikes by brokerage firm employees, which if
continues, could affect the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies.
17. Financial difficulties and other problems in certain financial institutions in India could adversely affect
our business and the price of our Equity Shares.
As an Indian bank, we are exposed to the risks of the Indian financial system which may be affected by the financial difficulties faced by certain Indian financial institutions because the commercial soundness of many financial institutions may be closely related as a result of credit, trading, clearing or other relationships. This risk, which is sometimes referred to as "systemic risk", may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as
clearing agencies, banks, securities firms and exchanges with whom we interact on a daily basis and who may default on their obligations due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons. Any such difficulties or instability of the Indian financial system in general could create an adverse market perception about Indian financial institutions and banks and hence adversely affect our business. As the Indian financial system operates within an emerging market, it faces risks of a nature and extent not typically faced in more developed economies, including the risk of deposit runs notwithstanding the existence of a national
deposit insurance scheme.
18. Significant differences exist between GAAP as applied in India and other accounting principles with which
investors may be more familiar.
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with Indian GAAP as applicable to banks. GAAP as
applied in India differs in certain significant respects from IFRS, U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles
and accounting standards with which prospective investors may be familiar with in other countries. We do
35
not provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to IFRS or U.S. GAAP or a summary of principal
differences between Indian GAAP, IFRS and U.S. GAAP relevant to our business. Furthermore, we have not
quantified or identified the impact of the differences between Indian GAAP and IFRS or between Indian
GAAP and U.S. GAAP as applied to our financial statements. As there are significant differences between
GAAP as applied in India and IFRS and between GAAP as applied in India and U.S. GAAP, there may be
substantial differences in our results of operations, cash flows and financial position if we were to prepare
our financial statements in accordance with IFRS or U.S. GAAP instead of Indian GAAP. Prospective
investors should review the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements, and
consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the differences between Indian GAAP and
IFRS and between Indian GAAP and U.S. GAAP and how they might affect the financial information
contained in this Letter of Offer.

OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE
Our Bank proposes to utilize the Net Proceeds from the Issue to augment its capital base to support our business
expansion and meet out Bank’s future capital requirements.
The objects clause of our Memorandum of Association enable us to undertake our existing activities for which
the funds are being raised by us in the Issue.
The details of the proceeds of the Issue are summarized below:
(` in crore)
Particulars Amount
Gross proceeds to be raised through the Issue 659.65
Less: Issue related expenses 5.26
Net proceeds of the Issue after deducting the Issue related expenses (“Net Proceeds”) 654.39
Requirement and sources of funds
We intend to utilize the entire Net Proceeds to augment our Bank’s Tier-I capital to meet our Bank’s future capital
requirements to support our business expansion and to ensure compliance with Basel III and other RBI regulations.
Details of the Objects
To augment Tier I Capital:
As prescribed by the RBI, our Bank has adopted Basel III norms starting from April 1, 2013. The minimum capital
adequacy ratio (“CRAR”) required to be maintained by our Bank for Fiscal 2016 is 9.625% (including capital
conservation buffer (“CCB”)), with Tier 1 CRAR of 7.625% under Pillar 1 of Basel III regulations of the RBI.
The capital requirement is progressively going up under the Basel III regulations prescribed by RBI. The minimum
capital adequacy (including CCB) will increase from 9.625% as at March 31, 2016 to 11.50% by March 31, 2019;
an increase of 0.625% every Fiscal on account of incremental CCB. In addition to the minimum capital prescribed
under Pillar 1, under Pillar 2 of Basel III regulations, RBI requires banks to have an additional capital buffer for
absorbing risks which are not covered under Pillar 1, such as liquidity risk, concentration risk, strategic risk,
reputational risk etc. In our estimate, this additional requirement would push up the capital needs by around 1%
over and above the minimum prescribed.
Basel III is being implemented by RBI from April 1, 2013, subject to a series of transitional arrangements to be
phased in over a period of time and has to be fully implemented by March 31, 2019. The RBI has indicated that
the capital requirements for the implementation of the Basel III Capital Regulations may be lower during the
initial period and higher in later years. While our Bank has raised capital from time to time, with adoption of Basel
III by our Bank and the ongoing implementation of BASEL III, the minimum capital requirements of our Bank
will increase in a phased manner over the next few years. Accordingly, the objects of the Issue are to augment our
Bank’s Tier-I capital base to meet our Bank’s future capital requirements which are expected to arise out of growth
in our Bank’s assets, primarily our Bank’s loans/advances and investment portfolio and to ensure compliance with
Basel III and other RBI regulations.
As on March 31, 2016, our Bank’s total CRAR and common equity tier-1 CRAR was at 12.03% and 10.56%
respectively. However, considering the future growth plans and consequent increase in risk weighted assets, our
Bank would require additional capital.
Accordingly, the objects of the Issue are to support our business expansion and augment our Bank’s Tier-I capital
to meet our Bank’s future capital requirements and to conform to the provision of Section 12(1)(i) of the Banking
Regulation Act i.e. to have subscribed capital of not less than one half of authorized capital and paid up capital of
not less than one half of subscribed capital. Hence, our Bank is required to issue additional Equity Shares.
Means of finance
The stated Objects of the Issue are proposed to be financed entirely from the Net Proceeds of the Issue.
Accordingly, we confirm that there is no requirement for us to make firm arrangements of finance through
51
verifiable means towards 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the amount to be raised through the Issue.
Schedule of Implementation and Deployment of Funds
Our Bank proposes to deploy the Net Proceeds in the aforesaid object in the current Fiscal.
Appraisal of the Objects
The objects have not been appraised by any banks, financial institutions or agency and we have not raised any
bridge loans against the Net Proceeds.
Issue Expenses
The Issue related expenses include, among others, fees to various advisors, printing and distribution expenses,
advertisement expenses, and registrar and depository fees. The estimated Issue related expenses are as follows:
Activity Expense
(in `crore)*

(% of total

Miscellaneous expenses 0.50 9.51 0.08
Total estimated Issue expenses 5.26 100.00 0.80 (*) Assuming full subscription and Allotment in the Issue.
Monitoring of Utilisation of Funds
As we are a bank, in accordance with Regulation 16 of the SEBI Regulations, there is no requirement for
appointment of a monitoring agency. Our Bank is raising capital to meet future capital adequacy related
requirements and not for any specified project(s).
Other confirmations
The Directors or key managerial personnel do not have any interest in the proposed utilization of Issue Proceeds.
The key industry regulations for the proposed objects of the Issue are not different from our existing business.

The Karnataka Bank Limited incorporated at Mangaluru in India is a publicly held BankingCompany governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and is engaged in providing a widerange of banking & financial services involving retail ,corporate banking and para-bankingactivities in addition to treasury and foreign exchange business.
BASIS OF PREPARATION:
The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared following the going concern concept,
on historical cost basis and confirm to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (GAAP) in
India which encompasses applicable statutory provisions, regulatory norms prescribed by the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time, notified Accounting Standards (AS) issued under
the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 to the extent applicable and current practices
prevailing in the banking industry in India.
The preparation of the financial statements require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect 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 reported period. The Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the
preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ
from these estimates. The differences, if any between estimates and actual will be dealt
appropriately in future periods.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. REVENUE RECOGNITION:
Income is accounted for on accrual basis except in respect of income from Non PerformingAssets, commission, exchange, Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) and rent on safe depositlockers, which are all accounted on cash basis. Recoveries made in Non-performing advancesare appropriated as under:a) In case of Term Loan/DPN the recoveries are appropriated towards the principal, interestand charges in order of demand.b) In case of Overdraft accounts the recoveries are first appropriated towards excess allowedin overdraft account if any, followed by expired sanctioned TOD and then towards interest.c) In case of One Time settlement (OTS) accounts the recoveries are first adjusted to principalbalance
2. INVESTMENTS:
Investments are classified under the heads “Held to Maturity”, “Available for Sale” and
“Held for Trading” categories and are valued in accordance with the RBI guidelines. The
value, net of depreciation is shown in the Balance Sheet.
The excess of acquisition cost over the face value of securities under “Held to Maturity”
category is amortised over the remaining period to maturity.
F-17
Transfers of scrip, if any, from one category to another, are done at the lowest of the
acquisition cost / book value/ market value on the date of transfer and the depreciation, if
any, on such transfers is fully provided for.
Provisions for non-performing investments are made as per RBI guidelines.
3. DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
Derivative contracts are designated as hedging or trading and accounted in accordance
with Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines.
Derivatives deals for trading are marked to market and net depreciation is recognised
while net appreciation is ignored

liabilities are marked to market and Income /expenditure is accounted on accrual basis.
4. ADVANCES:
a) Advances are classified into (a) Standard; (b) Sub-Standard; (c) Doubtful; and (d) Loss
assets, in accordance with the RBI Guidelines and are stated net of provisions made
towards Non- performing advances and unrealised interest. Provisions are made in
accordance with the prudential norms prescribed by Reserve Bank of India.
b) In case of financial assets sold to Securitisation/reconstruction Company, if the sale is
at a price below the net book value (NBV), the shortfall is debited to the Profit and Loss
account. If the sale is for the price higher than the net book value, excess provision held
is not reversed but held till redemption of the security receipt, wherever applicable,
except wherein Reserve Bank of India has specifically permitted amortisation of the loss
on sale of advances over the subsequent periods.
5. FIXED ASSETS:
Premises and other fixed assets have been shown at cost as reduced by depreciation
written off to date. Land and buildings are capitalized based on conveyance/letters of
allotment/physical possession of the property.
Software is capitalised along with computer hardware and included under Other Fixed
Assets.
6. DEPRECIATION:
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided following Straight Line Method (SLM) as per
the useful life specified under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, except in respect
of computers (including software) where depreciation is provided at a flat rate of 33.33
% as per RBI guidelines.
Where during any financial year, addition has been made to any Asset or where any Asset
has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed, the Depreciation on such Asset is
F-18
calculated on Prorata basis from the date of such Addition or as the case maybe, upto the
date on which such Asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed.
Premium paid on lease hold properties is charged off over the lease period.
Depreciation of leased assets is calculated so as to spread the depreciable amount over
the primary lease period.
Carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date for indication of
impairment, if any, and is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
its recoverable value.
7. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS:
Monetary Assets and Liabilities, Forward Exchange Contracts, Guarantees, Letters of
Credit, Acceptances, Endorsements and other obligations are evaluated at the closing
spot rates/Forward rates for the residual maturity of the contract, as published by FEDAI
and in accordance with the Accounting Standard 11.
Income and expenditure items are translated at the exchange rates ruling on the
respective dates of the transaction.
The gain or loss on evaluation of outstanding monetary assets/liabilities and Foreign
Exchange Contracts are taken to Profit and Loss Account.
8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:
Contribution made by the Bank to the Provident Fund and Contributory Pension Scheme
are charged to the Profit and Loss Account.

determined and recognised in the accounts based on actuarial valuation as at the Balance
Sheet date and net actuarial gains/losses are recognised as per the Accounting Standard
15.
Provisions for short term employee benefits are accounted for on an estimated basis.
9. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION:
The Bank uses Intrinsic Value method to account for compensation cost of stock options
granted to employees of the Bank. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the quoted
market price of the underlying shares exceeds the exercise price of the options.
10. SEGMENT REPORTING:
The Bank recognises the Business Segment as the Primary Reporting Segment and
Geographical Segment as the Secondary Reporting Segment, in accordance with the RBI
guidelines and in compliance with the Accounting Standard 17.
Business Segment is classified into (a) Treasury, (b) Corporate and Wholesale Banking,
(c) Retail Banking and (d) Other Banking Operations.

have any foreign branches.
11. SHARE ISSUE EXPENSES:
Share issue expenses are adjusted in share premium account.
12. EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year
attributable to the equity share holders by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year.
Diluted Earnings per equity share are computed by using the weighted average number
of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding as at the year end.
13. TAXATION:
Tax expenses comprise current and deferred taxes. Current income tax is measured at the
amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax
Act,1961 and are made after due consideration of the judicial pronouncement and legal
opinions.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences, between
taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of
earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are not recognised
unless there is a virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available

Remuneration Committee
The Nomination & Remuneration Committee (N&RC) consists of only Independent Directors, two ofthem being the members of Integrated Risk Management Committee of the Board (IRMC) also.
Objectives of Compensation PolicyCompensation Policy aims to attract and retain the right candidates in the Bank. The policy is designedto support key business strategies and create a strong, performance-orientated environment besidesproviding reasonable remuneration commensurate with the growth of the Bank. It also ensures effectivegovernance of compensation, alignment of compensation with prudent risk taking, effectivesupervisory oversight and stakeholder engagement. The Policy also aims at facilitating effectivesuccession planning in the Bank.
The N&RC works in close coordination with the Integrated Risk Management Committee to ensureeffective alignment of remuneration and risks.
F-42
Risk adjustments in remuneration
A wide variety of measures of credit, market and liquidity risks are used by bank in implementation ofrisk adjustment. The risk adjustment methods have both quantitative and judgmental elements.Compensation outcomes are symmetric with risk outcomes and compensation payouts are sensitive tothe time horizon of the risk.
Performance linked variable compensation, deferral and forms
The performance-based remuneration motivates and rewards high performers who strengthen long-termcustomer relations, and generate income and shareholder value. The bank’s compensation policystipulates that while designing the compensation package to WTD/CEO, it is ensured that there is aproper balance between fixed pay and variable pay. While fixing the Variable Pay, performanceparameters under financial and non-financial areas of operations shall be assessed.
The variable pay shall not exceed 70% of the fixed pay in a year. The deterioration in the financialperformance of the bank should generally lead to a contraction in the total amount of variableremuneration to be paid.
Further, where the variable pay constitutes a substantial portion of the fixed pay (i.e. 50% or more ofthe fixed pay), an appropriate portion of the variable pay, say 40% to 60% must be deferred for over aperiod. The Board/Nomination & Remuneration Committee may grant stock options under theEmployees Stock Options Plan/Scheme as per Securities and Exchange Board of India (EmployeeStock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999, subject to theapproval of Reserve Bank of India under Section 35B of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. SuchStock Options will be excluded from the components of variable pay. In case variable pay payable is50% or more, deferral arrangements of variable pay shall be applied. The deferral period should not beless than three years. Compensation payable under deferral arrangements should vest on a pro-ratabasis at such rates as may be decided by the Board/RC. In the event of negative contributions of theBank and/or the relevant line of business in any year, the deferred compensation is subject tomalus/claw back arrangements. The variable pay could be in cash, or stock linked instruments or mixof both.

The computation is also in line with the amendments made as per the RBI circulardated February 2, 2016. These guidelines ensure that banks maintain sufficient amount of High QualityLiquidity Assets (HQLAs) to survive 30 days stress scenario so that banks can take corrective measures withinsuch period. These HQLAs have to be 100% of the net cash outflows w.e.f January 1, 2019. To providesufficient transition period, the guidelines require maintaining minimum 60% w.e.f January 1, 2015 and step upof 10% every year to reach 100% by January 1, 2019.Necessary system has been put in place to compute LCR and bank’s strategy would be to maintain LCR wellabove the regulatory minimum levels ahead of the stipulated timelines.

of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (“Award”). As per the Award, our Bank, as a member
of the Indian Bank’s Association, was required to pay back-wages, incentives,
remuneration, conveyance and gratuity to the pigmy deposit collectors i.e. members of the
AIBO. AIBO filed a writ petition before the Madras High Court alleging that our Bank had
failed to comply with the Award. The Petitioner invoked the writ jurisdiction under Article

their employees 6.5% of basic pay for Officers and 6.4% of basic pay for Staff in the form
of an allowance each month. The matter is currently pending.

nationalized Banks and a few private sector Banks who were in continuous qualifying
service from 15 to 38 years and resigned from the services due to reasons beyond their
control such as illness, family problems and prolonged illness of spouses etc. Pursuant to a

Understanding (“MOU”) with the Officer’s unions a Pension Scheme namely the Pension
Regulations, 1993 (“Pension Regulations”) was created by virtue of the Clause 12 of the

However, via circular of the Indian Bank’s Association these terms were modified and
ignored the Regulation 10 of the Pension Regulations in the form of Regulation 22 of the
74
Bank Employee’s Pension Regulations, 1995. Further, there was a settlement dated April
27, 2010 wherein employees who had completed service from 20 years to 38 years of
service and had voluntarily resigned are denied pension merely because they had resigned
if they had resigned after September 1995 and thus were denied the equal opportunity to
obtain one more option of pension benefits. The Petitioner had approached the Delhi High
Court seeking relief. The matter is currently pending.
3. The Karnataka Bank Employees’ Association (“Petitioners”), a registered trade union,
filed writ petitions bearing numbers 10926-927, dated March 15, 2011, under Articles 226
and 227 of the Constitution of India against our Bank and others (“Writ Petitions”). It was

general manager of our Bank, the Petitioners raised various issues against him. It is alleged
by the Petitioners that post his retirement, Mr. N.S. Chakkera, filed numerous frivolous writ
petitions against the Petitioners through his wife Mrs. Jayashree Chakkera. The Petitioners
alleged that the writ petition bearing number 5654/09 seeking writ of certiorari quashing
the communication dated January 16, 2009 (“RBI Circular”) issued by the RBI and the
writ of mandamus against the Petitioners and its office bearers for the act of alleged illegal

petition, an investigating officer was appointed by our Bank to investigate the allegations
made by Mrs. Jayshree Chakkera against the Petitioners. The investigating officer, vide a
report dated September 9, 2009, noted that the act of collecting donations was not an act of
corruption under the IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act and that there was no increase
in non-performing assets by virtue of the donations collected from the clients and that there

4. The All India Bank Deposit Collectors Workmen (“Petitioners”) filed a Special Leave
Petition bearing CC No. 24004-24/2016 dated May 3, 2016 under Article 142 and Article
136 of the Constitution of India, against our Bank. Syndicate Bank introduced a scheme
known as pigmy deposit collection scheme which was later on adopted by all
nationalized/private and subsidiary banks of State Bank of India. Pigmy deposit collectors
would visit the homes/offices of the customers to collect cash and deposit the same in their
bank accounts maintained with the respective banks. The pigmy deposit collectors
organized themselves through a union and raised an industrial dispute with regard to
benefits accruing to them as commission agents of the banks, which was referred to the
Industrial Tribunal, Hyderabad. The Industrial Tribunal, vide an order dated December 22,
1988 gave relief to deposit collectors below the age of 45 years by allowing them to be
absorbed as clerks and cashiers at par with regular clerical employees of the bank
(“Industrial Award”). Aggrieved by the Industrial Award, the Syndicate Bank appealed
to the High Court of Andhra Pradesh in writ petition bearing number 9783 of 1989. The
High Court of Andhra Pradesh, vide its order dated March 28, 1997 denied the deposit
collectors absorption but granted the deposit collectors benefits of fall back wages,
incentive remuneration, conveyance allowance and gratuity (“High Court Order”).
Aggrieved by the High Court Order, the Indian Bank’s Association approached the
Supreme Court which held that the Deposit Collectors will be treated as “workmen” under
the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and not as regular employees of the Bank (“Supreme
Court Order”). The Petitioners raised a demand for revision of back wages determined by
the Industrial Award. The central government made a reference to the Industrial Tribunal
(“Tribunal”) on August 6, 2003 when the conciliation proceedings failed which raised the
question of whether the deposit collectors were employees. The Indian Bank Associations
raised an objection to the reference of the central government on the plea that deposit
75
collectors were not its employees. The All India Bank Deposit Workmen Union sought to
implead the Banks which was allowed by the Tribunal on July 19, 2005. The Tribunal, vide
its award dated October 7, 2013 which was further modified on June 2, 2014 granted an
award of fall back wages to the deposit collectors (“Tribunal Order”). Aggrieved by the
Tribunal Order, the Petitioners filed an appeal to the single bench of the Delhi High Court,
vide a writ petition (C) No. 7571 of 2014 & CM No. 17864 of 2014. The single judge of
the Delhi High Court, vide its order dated April 20, 2015 set aside the award of the Tribunal
concerning payment of gratuity to the daily deposit collectors. Our Bank along with other
Banks preferred a letters patents appeal numbered 429/2015 with the division bench of the
High Court which, vide its order dated October 5, 2015 which affirmed the award of the
Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Delhi (“Tribunal”) dated October 7, 2013 but
modified the order of the Tribunal to make it prospective and not retrospective in operation
from July, 19, 2005 as passed by the Tribunal in its award set aside the retrospective
application of the Tribunal award. Aggrieved, the Petitioner, filed a Special Leave Petition
before the Supreme Court against a common final judgment passed by the Division Bench
of the High Court of Delhi. The matter is currently pending.
5. The All India Bank Deposit Collectors Workmen Union Mysore and All India Bank

2015 between the managements of 43 banks including our Bank as represented by the
Indian Bank Employees Association, National Confederation of Bank Employees, Bank
Employees Federation of India and National Organization of Bank Workers & Indian
National Bank Employees Federation. The Central Government Industrial Tribunal, New
Delhi (“CGIT”), vide an order dated October 7, 2013, had passed an award for fall back
of wages, incentive remuneration besides conveyance allowances and also for gratuity
(“Award”). As per the Award, the Petitioners were entitled to receive fall back wages of
` 8,000 per month besides conveyance allowance of ` 750 per month. As per the Award,
on a collection of ` 0.03 crore up to ` 0.05 crore, all deposit collectors, irrespective of their

remuneration of 2%. Further, stated that in case of failure of a deposit collector to meet the

of service would be terminated by the bank without notice. The Petitioners were also
entitled to ` 4000 per annum as gratuity as per the Award. The CGIT also ruled that the
Award would have retrospective effect from July 19, 2005. The Award was modified by
the CGIT on June 2, 2014 to allow collectors operating in area A, B and C to collect ` 0.03
crore, ` 0.04 crore and ` 0.05 crore per month respectively. On breach of the Award, the
Petitioners filed a complaint dated September 1, 2014 under section 29 of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947 before the Chief Labour Commissioner (“Commissioner”). Since, the
banks did not take action as directed by the Commissioner, the Petitioners further filed a
private complaint bearing number 2760 of 2014 dated September 30, 2014 against the
Indian Bank Associations before the Additional Judicial Magistrate First Class Court,
Mysore for committing breach of the Award. Instead of implementing the Award, the banks
after discussion with their workmen union (other than the Petitioner’s union) and officer’s
association entered into a 10th Bipartite Memorandum of Settlement on May 25, 2015 which
would be a financial burden of ` 4,725 crore per year (“Memorandum”).Aggrieved by

and monitoring the derivative portfolio and conducts stress testing of both the default risk and

measure the risk in underlying transactions. Further, it was also clarified that our Bank has not
restructured deals after the issue of circular by RBI on restructuring of derivative contracts in
October 2008. Cancellation of deals was made by paying the termination price quoted by the
counter party Bank.

Shareholders and the Letter of Offer/Abridged Letter of Offer and the CAFs will be dispatched only to

General Terms of the Issue
Market Lot
95
The Equity Shares of our Bank are tradable only in dematerialized form. The market lot for Rights Equity Shares
in dematerialised mode is one (1) Equity Share. In case an Eligible Shareholder holds Rights Equity Shares in
physical form, our Bank would issue to the Allottees one certificate for the Rights Equity Shares allotted to each
folio (“Consolidated Certificate”). Such Consolidated Certificates may be split into smaller denominations at
the request of the respective shareholder.
Joint Holders
Where two or more persons are registered as the holders of any Equity Shares, they shall be deemed to hold the
same as joint holders with the benefit of survivorship subject to the provisions contained in the Articles of
Association.
Nomination
Nomination facility is available in respect of the Rights Equity Shares in accordance with the provisions of the
Section 72 of the Companies Act. An applicant can nominate any person by filling the relevant details in the CAF
in the space provided for this purpose. In case of Eligible Shareholders who are individuals, a sole Eligible
Shareholder or the first named Eligible Shareholder, along with other joint Eligible Shareholder(s), if any, may
nominate any person(s) who, in the event of the death of the sole Eligible Shareholder or all the joint Eligible
Shareholders, as the case may be, shall become entitled to the Rights Equity Shares offered in the Issue. A person,
being a nominee, becoming entitled to the Equity Shares by reason of death of the original Eligible Shareholder(s),
shall be entitled to the same advantages to which he would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of
Equity Shares. Where the nominee is a minor, the Eligible Shareholder(s) may also make a nomination to appoint,
in the prescribed manner, any person to become entitled to the Rights Equity Shares, in the event of death of the
said Eligible Shareholder, during the minority of the nominee. A nomination shall stand rescinded upon the sale
of the Rights Equity Shares by the person nominating. A transferee will be entitled to make a fresh nomination in
the manner prescribed. Where the Rights Equity Shares are held by more than one person jointly, the nominee
shall become entitled to all the rights in the Rights Equity Shares only in the event of death of all the joint holders.
Fresh nominations can be made only in the prescribed form available on request at the Registered Office of our
Bank or such other person at such addresses as may be notified by our Bank. The Investor can make the nomination
by filling in the relevant portion of the CAF. In terms of Section 72 of the Companies Act or any other rules that
may be prescribed under the Companies Act any person who becomes a nominee shall upon the production of
such evidence as may be required by the Board, elect either:
1. to register himself or herself as the holder of the Equity Shares; or
2. to make such transfer of the Equity Shares, as the deceased holder could have made.
If the person being a nominee, so becoming entitles, elects to be registered as holders of the Rights Equity Shares
himself or herself, he or she shall deliver to our Bank a notice in writing signed by him/her stating that he/she so
elects and such notice shall be accompanied with the death certificate of the deceased holder.
Further, the Board may at any time give notice requiring any nominee to choose either to be registered himself or
herself or to transfer the Rights Equity Shares, and if the notice is not complied with within a period of 90 days,
the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of the
Rights Equity Shares, until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.
Only one nomination would be applicable for one folio. Hence, in case the Eligible Equity Shareholder(s) or the
Investor(s), as the case may be, have already registered the nomination with our Bank, no further nomination
needs to be made for Rights Equity Shares that may be allotted in this Issue under the same folio.
In case the Allotment of Rights Equity Shares is in dematerialised form, there is no need to make a separate
nomination for the Rights Equity Shares to be allotted in this Issue. Nominations registered with respective
DP of the applicant would prevail. Any applicant desirous of changing the existing nomination is requested
to inform its respective DP.
Arrangements for Disposal of Odd Lots
96
Our Equity Shares are traded in dematerialised form only and therefore the marketable lot is one Equity Share and
hence, no arrangements for disposal of odd lots are required.
Notices
All notices to the Eligible Shareholder(s) required to be given by our Bank shall be published in one English
language national daily newspaper with wide circulation, one Hindi national daily newspaper with wide
circulation and one Kannada language daily newspaper with wide circulation and/or, will be sent by post to the
registered address of the Eligible Shareholders in India or the Indian address provided by the Equity Shareholders
from time to time.
Procedure for Application
The CAF for the Rights Equity Shares would be printed for all Eligible Shareholders. In case the original CAF is
not received by the Eligible Shareholder or is misplaced by the Eligible Shareholder, the Eligible Shareholder
may request the Registrar to the Issue, for issue of a duplicate CAF, by furnishing the registered folio number, DP
ID, Client ID and their full name and address. In case the signature of the Eligible Shareholder(s) does not match
with the specimen registered with our Bank or the DP, the application is liable to be rejected.
Please note that neither our Bank nor the Registrar to the Issue shall be responsible for delay in the receipt of the
CAF/duplicate CAF attributable to postal delays or if the CAF/duplicate CAF are misplaced in the transit. Eligible
Shareholders should note that those who are making the application in such duplicate CAF should not utilize the
original CAF for any purpose, including renunciation, even if the original CAF is received or found subsequently.
If any Eligible Shareholders violates any of these requirements, they shall face the risk of rejection of both

Renunciation
The Issue includes a right exercisable by you to renounce the Rights Equity Shares offered to you either in full or
in part in favour of any other person or persons. Your attention is drawn to the fact that our Bank shall not Allot
and/or register the Rights Equity Shares in favour of the following Renouncees: (i) more than three persons
(including joint holders); (ii) partnership firm(s) or their nominee(s); (iii) minors (except applications by minors
having valid demat accounts as per the demographic details provided by the Depositories); (iv) HUF (however,

Trust Act, 1882, as amended or any other applicable law relating to societies or trusts and is authorized under its
constitutions or bye-laws to hold equity shares, as the case may be). Additionally, the Eligible Shareholders may
not renounce in favour of “U.S. Persons” (as defined in Regulation S) or persons or entities which would otherwise
be prohibited from being offered or subscribing for Rights Equity Shares or Rights Entitlement under applicable
securities laws.
The RBI has, pursuant to a letter dated September 19, 2016, conveyed its no-objection for the renunciation of
Rights Entitlement by, and to, persons resident in India and persons resident outside India in the Issue, subject to
our Bank ensuring that the total FDI limit does not exceed 49% of the paid up capital post renunciation of Rights
Entitlement and also ensuring the following conditions:
1. The renunciation by non-resident to resident is on the floor of the stock exchange;
2. The renunciation by non-resident to non-resident is on the floor of the stock exchange. However, the Issue
Price to non resident should not be less than that at which offer is made to resident shareholder. If the non-
resident transferees include FIIs, the individual as well as overall limit should be complied with;
3. Our Bank may comply with all the documentation and reporting requirements;
4. If any transaction involves an erstwhile OCB, the Bank should approach RBI with full details for prior
approval; and
5. The NRI shareholders holding non-repatriable shares may renounce the Rights Entitlement in favour of
Residents or other NRls only.
In terms of Regulation 6 of Notification No. FEMA 20 12000-RB dated 3rd May 2000, as amended from time to
time, only the existing Non-Resident shareholders may subscribe for additional equity shares over and above the
equity shares offered on rights basis by our Bank.
Renunciations by OCBs
By virtue of the circular No. 14 dated September 16, 2003 issued by the RBI, Overseas Corporate Bodies
(“OCBs”) have been derecognized as an eligible class of investors and the RBI has subsequently issued the
Foreign Exchange Management (Withdrawal of General Permission to Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCBs))
Regulations, 2003. Accordingly, the existing Equity Shareholders who do not wish to subscribe to the Equity
Shares being offered but wish to renounce the same in favour of Renouncee shall not renounce the same (whether
for consideration or otherwise) in favour of OCB(s).
The RBI has however clarified in its circular, A.P. (DIR Series) circular No. 44, dated December 8, 2003 that
OCBs which are incorporated and are not under the adverse notice of the RBI are permitted to undertake fresh
investments as incorporated non-resident entities in terms of Regulation 5(1) of RBI Notification No.20/ 2000-
RB dated May 3, 2000 under FDI Scheme with the prior approval of Government if the investment is through
Government Route and with the prior approval of RBI if the investment is through Automatic Route on case by
case basis. Shareholders renouncing their rights in favour of OCBs may do so provided such Renouncee obtains
a prior approval from the RBI. On submission of such approval to us at our Registered Office, the OCB shall
receive the Abridged Letter of Offer and the CAF.
Part ‘A’ of the CAF must not be used by any person(s) other than those in whose favour the Issue has been made.
If used, this will render the application invalid. Submission of the CAF to the Banker to the Issue at its collecting
branches specified on the reverse of the CAF with the form of renunciation (Part ‘B’ of the CAF) duly filled in
shall be the conclusive evidence for our Bank of the fact of renouncement to the person(s) applying for Equity
99
Shares in Part ‘C’ of the CAF for the purpose of Allotment of such Rights Equity Shares. The Renouncees applying
for all the Rights Equity Shares renounced in their favour may also apply for additional Rights Equity Shares.
Renouncee(s) will have no right to further renounce any Rights Equity Shares in favour of any other person. In
terms of Regulation 6 of Notification No. FEMA 20 12000-RB dated May 3, 2000, as amended from time to time,
only the existing Non-Resident shareholders may subscribe for additional equity shares over and above the equity
shares offered on rights basis by our Bank.
The right of renunciation is subject to the express condition that our Board shall be entitled in its absolute
discretion to reject the application from the Renouncees without assigning any reason thereof.

Basis of Allotment
Subject to the provisions contained in the Letter of Offer, the Abridged Letter of Offer, CAF, the Articles of
Association of our Bank and the approval of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Board will proceed to allot the
Rights Equity Shares in the following order of priority:
1. Full Allotment to those Eligible Shareholders who have applied for their Rights Entitlement either in full
or in part and also to the Renouncee(s) who has/ have applied for Rights Equity Shares renounced in
their favour, in full or in part.
114
2. Investors whose fractional entitlements are being ignored and Eligible Shareholders with Zero
entitlement would be given preference in Allotment of one additional Rights Equity Share each if they
apply for additional Rights Equity Share. Allotment under this head shall be considered if there are any
unsubscribed Rights Equity Shares after Allotment under (1) above. If number of Rights Equity Shares
required for Allotment under this head is more than the number of Rights Equity Shares available after
Allotment under (1) above, the Allotment would be made on a fair and equitable basis in consultation
with the Designated Stock Exchange and will not be a preferential allotment.
3. Allotment to the Eligible Shareholders who having applied for all the Rights Equity Shares offered to
them as part of the Issue, have also applied for additional Rights Equity Shares. The Allotment of such
additional Rights Equity Shares will be made as far as possible on an equitable basis having due regard
to their Rights Entitlement, provided there are any unsubscribed Rights Equity Shares after making full
Allotment in (1) and (2) above. The Allotment of such Rights Equity Shares will be at the sole discretion
of the Board in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, as a part of the Issue and will not be a
preferential allotment.
4. Allotment to Renouncees who having applied for all the Rights Equity Shares renounced in their favour,
have applied for additional Equity Shares provided there is surplus available after making full Allotment
under (1), (2) and (3) above. The Allotment of such Rights Equity Shares will be at the sole discretion of
the Board in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, as a part of the Issue and will not be a
preferential allotment.
5. Allotment to any other person that the Board of Directors as it may deem fit provided there is surplus
available after making Allotment under (1), (2), (3) and (4) above, and the decision of the Board in this
regard shall be final and binding.
After taking into account Allotment to be made under (1) to (4) above, if there is any unsubscribed portion, the
same shall be deemed to be ‘unsubscribed’.
Section 12B of the Banking Regulation Act requires that no person shall acquire or agree to acquire or hold five
per cent or more of the paid-up share capital of a banking company, without prior approval of the Reserve Bank
of India. Further, the Reserve Bank of India (Prior approval for acquisition of shares or voting rights in private
sector banks) Directions, dated November 19, 2015 requires that every person who intends to make an acquisition
/ make an agreement for acquisition which will / is likely to take the aggregate holding of such person together
with shares / voting rights / held by him, his relatives, associate enterprises and persons acting in concert with
him, to 5 per cent or more of the paid-up share capital of the concerned bank or entitles him to exercise 5 per cent
or more of the total voting rights of the concerned bank, shall seek prior approval of the Reserve Bank. Hence, in
the absence of such RBI approval, an Eligible Shareholder or Renouncee will only be allotted Rights Equity Shares
so that their post issue shareholding does not exceed five percent of the paid-up capital of our Bank.
Upon approval of the Basis of Allotment by the Designated Stock Exchange, the Registrar to the Issue shall send

Payment of refund would be done through NACH for Applicants having an account at one of the centres
specified by the RBI, where such facility has been made available. This would be subject to availability
of complete bank account details including MICR code wherever applicable from the depository. The
payment of refund through NACH is mandatory for Applicants having a bank account at any of the
centres where NACH facility has been made available by the RBI (subject to availability of all

wherever the Investors' bank has been assigned the Indian Financial System Code (IFSC), which can be
linked to a MICR, allotted to that particular bank branch. IFSC Code will be obtained from the website
of RBI as on a date immediately prior to the date of payment of refund, duly mapped with MICR
numbers. Wherever the Investors have registered their nine digit MICR number and their bank account
number with the Registrar to our Bank or with the Depository Participant while opening and operating
the demat account, the same will be duly mapped with the IFSC Code of that particular bank branch and
the payment of refund will be made to the Investors through this method.

RTGS. Such eligible Investors who indicate their preference to receive refund through RTGS are required
to provide the IFSC code in the CAF. In the event the same is not provided, refund shall be made through
NACH or any other eligible mode. Charges, if any, levied by the refund bank(s) for the same would be

physical certificates. Our Bank has also signed a tripartite agreement with CDSL on October 14, 2000 which
enables the Investors to hold and trade in Equity Shares in a dematerialized form, instead of holding the Equity
Shares in the form of physical certificates.
In the Issue, the Allottees who have opted for Rights Equity Shares in dematerialized form will receive their Rights
Equity Shares in the form of an electronic credit to their beneficiary account as given in the CAF, after verification
with a Depository Participant. Investor will have to give the relevant particulars for this purpose in the appropriate
place in the CAF. Allotment advice, refund order (if any) would be sent directly to the Investor by the Registrar
to the Issue but the Investor’s depository participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such
117
Rights Equity Shares to the Investor’s depository account. CAFs, which do not accurately contain this information,
will be given the Rights Equity Shares in physical form. No separate CAFs for Rights Equity Shares in physical
and/or dematerialized form should be made. If such CAFs are made, the CAFs for physical Rights Equity Shares
will be treated as multiple CAFs and is liable to be rejected. In case of partial Allotment, Allotment will be done
in demat option for the Rights Equity Shares sought in demat and balance, if any, will be allotted in physical
Rights Equity Shares. Eligible Shareholders of our Bank holding Equity Shares in physical form may opt to
receive Rights Equity Shares in the Issue in dematerialized form.
INVESTORS MAY PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EQUITY SHARES OF OUR BANK CAN BE TRADED

account should carry the name of the holder in the same manner as is registered in the records of our
Bank. In the case of joint holding, the beneficiary account should be opened carrying the names of the
holders in the same order as registered in the records of our Bank). In case of Investors having various
folios in our Bank with different joint holders, the Investors will have to open separate accounts for such
holdings. Those Investors who have already opened such beneficiary account(s) need not adhere to this
step.
2. For Eligible Shareholders already holding Equity Shares of our Bank in dematerialized form as on the
Record Date, the beneficial account number shall be printed on the CAF. For those who open accounts
later or those who change their accounts and wish to receive their Rights Equity Shares pursuant to the
Issue by way of credit to such account, the necessary details of their beneficiary account should be filled
in the space provided in the CAF. It may be noted that the Allotment of Rights Equity Shares arising out
of the Issue may be made in dematerialized form even if the original Equity Shares are not dematerialized.
Nonetheless, it should be ensured that the depository account is in the name(s) of the Investors and the
names are in the same order as in the records of our Bank / Depositories.
3. The responsibility for correctness of information (including Investor's age and other details) filled in the
CAF vis-a-vis such information with the Investor's Depository Participant, would rest with the Investor.
Investors should ensure that the names of the Investors and the order in which they appear in CAF should
be the same as registered with the Investor's Depository Participant.
4. If incomplete / incorrect beneficiary account details are given in the CAF, the Investor will get Rights
Equity Shares in physical form.
5. The Rights Equity Shares allotted to Applicants opting for issue in dematerialized form, would be directly
credited to the beneficiary account as given in the CAF after verification. Allotment advice, refund order
(if any) would be sent directly to the Applicant by the Registrar to the Issue but the Applicant’s
Depository Participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such Rights Equity Shares to
the Applicant’s depository account.
6. Renouncees will also have to provide the necessary details about their beneficiary account for Allotment
of Rights Equity Shares in the Issue. In case these details are incomplete or incorrect, the application is
liable to be rejected.
7. Non-transferable allotment advice/refund orders will be directly sent to the Investors by the Registrar.
8. Dividend or other benefits with respect to the Equity Shares held in dematerialized form would be paid
