Profit after tax increased from Rs. 101.27 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to Rs. 144.63 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in net interest income, an increase in fee income and a decrease in provisions and contingencies, offset, in part, by an increase in operating expenditure.

Net interest income increased by 23.7% from Rs. 226.26 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to Rs. 279.97 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in net interest margin by 22 basis points and an increase of 17.2% in the average volume of interest-earning assets.

 

Net Interest Margin

 

Net interest margin increased by 22 basis points from 3.94% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 4.16% in the six months ended September 30, 2022. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 14 basis points from 7.25% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 7.39% in the six months ended September 30, 2022. The cost of funds decreased by 3 basis points from 3.76% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.73% in the six months ended September 30, 2022. The interest spread increased by 17 basis points from 3.49% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.66% in the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

The net interest margin of domestic operations increased by 26 basis points from 4.04% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 4.30% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in yield on interest-earning assets and a decrease in cost of funds. The yield on domestic interest-earning assets increased by 18 basis points from 7.38% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 7.56% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in the proportion of average advances and an increase in yield on average investments. The cost of domestic funds decreased by 5 basis points from 3.83% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.78% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in cost of deposits, offset, in part, by an increase in cost of borrowings.

 

The net interest margin of overseas branches increased by 16 basis points from 0.26% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 0.42% in the six months ended September 30, 2022.

The yield on average interest-earning assets increased by 14 basis points from 7.25% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 7.39% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the following factors:

 

The yield on average interest-earning assets increased mainly due to an increase in the proportion of advances and a decrease in the proportion of lower yielding other interest-earning assets.

 

The Bank saw reduction in yields on domestic advances from the beginning of fiscal year 2022 till June 30, 2022 primarily due to significant monetary easing by Reserve Bank of India post Covid-19. From May 2022 onwards, the decision of Reserve Bank of India to withdraw the liquidity by raising the interest rates resulted in an increase in lending rates. The impact of increase in repurchase rates from May 2022 started reflecting in the increase in overall yield through repricing of repurchase and treasury bills linked portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The full impact of increase in repurchase rates till date will be reflected in the yields on advances from the second half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 onwards. Accordingly, while the yield on domestic average advances increased from 8.61% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 (8.45% in the three months ended June 30, 2022) to 8.89% in the three months ended September 30, 2022, the yield on domestic advances remained at similar level at 8.68% both in the six months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2022.

 

The yield on overseas advances increased by 104 basis points from 1.58% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 2.62% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to repricing of floating rate/maturing advances due to ongoing hike in interest rates by the United States Federal Reserve.

 

The overall yield on average advances increased by 8 basis points from 8.30% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 8.38% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in proportion on domestic advances.

 

The yield on average interest-earning investments increased by 24 basis points from 5.99% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 6.23% in the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

The yield on investment in Indian government securities increased by 7 basis points from 6.25% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 6.32% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to reset of floating rate bonds at higher rates pursuant to a significant increase in treasury bill rates and new investment in government securities at higher market yields. The yield on investment in non-government securities increased by 77 basis points from 4.80% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 5.57% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 due to an increase in proportion on bonds and debentures and an increase in yield on foreign government securities, offset, in part, by decrease in yield on pass through certificates.

 

The yield on other interest-earning assets decreased by 50 basis points from 4.06% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.56% in the six months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in income on funding swaps, an increase in average balance with Reserve Bank of India which does not earn any interest and a decrease in yield on Rural Infrastructure and Development Fund and related deposits. The decrease was, offset, in part, by an increase in yield on call money lent and an increase in yield on balance with other banks.

 

11 

 

Interest on income tax refund increased from Rs. 0.44 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to Rs. 1.07 billion in the six months ended September 30, 2022. The receipt, amount and timing of such income depends on the nature and timing of determinations by tax authorities and are neither consistent nor predictable.

 

The cost of funds decreased by 3 basis points from 3.76% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.73% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the following factors:

 

The cost of average deposits decreased by 8 basis points from 3.59% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.51% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in cost of domestic term deposits and an increase in the proportion of average current account and savings account deposits in total deposits.

 

The Bank saw reduction in cost of domestic term deposits from the beginning of fiscal year 2022 till June 30, 2022 primarily due to significant systemic liquidity and monetary easing by Reserve Bank of India post Covid-19 till May 2022. While the cost of domestic term deposits continued to decline to 4.48% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 (4.75% in the three months ended June 30, 2021), it increased marginally during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 4.59%. Accordingly, the cost of domestic term deposits decreased by 10 basis points from 4.64% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 4.54% in the six months ended September 30, 2022. The impact of rising interest rates from the beginning of fiscal year 2023 is expected to be reflected in the cost of domestic term deposits from the second half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 onwards.

 

The cost of savings account deposits increased by 3 basis points from 3.13% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 3.16% in the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

The average current account and savings account deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased from 43.9% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 45.4% in the six months ended September 30, 2022.

 

The cost of borrowings increased by 14 basis points from 5.36% in the six months ended September 30, 2021 to 5.50% in the six months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in cost of call money borrowings and an increase in cost of refinance borrowings, offset, in part, by a decrease in cost of bond borrowings.

 

Our yield on advances, interest earned, net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by systemic liquidity, the competitive environment, level of additions to non-performing loans, regulatory developments, monetary policy and the economic and geopolitical factors.

 

Interest rates on approximately 49% of ICICI Bank’s domestic loans are linked to external market benchmarks. Differential movement in the external benchmark rates vis-a-vis our cost of funds may impact our interest earned, yield on advances, interest expended, net interest income and net interest margin.

In the six months ended September 30, 2021, the provision for non-performing and other assets was higher primarily due to higher additions to non-performing assets and restructuring of loans under Resolution Framework of Reserve Bank of India, reflecting Covid-19 related stress due to second wave and change in provisioning policy on non-performing advances. In the six months ended September 30, 2022, there were lower additions to non-performing loans, higher upgrades and recoveries.

Restructured Loans and Non-performing Loans

 

We classify our loans as performing and non-performing in accordance with Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Under Reserve Bank of India guidelines, a loan is generally classified as non-performing if any amount of interest or principal remains overdue for more than 90 days, in respect of term loans. In respect of overdraft or cash credit, a loan is classified as non-performing if the account remains out of order for a period of 90 days; and in respect of bills, if the account remains overdue for more than 90 days. Reserve Bank of India guidelines also require a loan to be classified as non-performing based on certain other criteria like restructuring of a loan, inability of a borrower to complete a project funded by us within stipulated timelines and certain other non-financial parameters. In respect of borrowers where loans and advances made by overseas branches are identified as impaired as per host country regulations for reasons other than record of recovery, but which are standard as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines, the amount outstanding in the host country is classified as non-performing.

 

In accordance with Reserve Bank of India circular dated April 17, 2020, the moratorium granted to certain borrowers is excluded from the determination of number of days past-due/out-of-order status for the purpose of loans classification. The moratorium granted to the borrowers is not accounted as restructuring of loan.

 

17 

 

The Reserve Bank of India has separate guidelines for classification of loans for projects under implementation which are based on the date of commencement of commercial production and date of completion of the project as originally envisaged at the time of financial closure. For infrastructure projects, a loan is classified as non-performing if it fails to commence commercial operations within two years from the documented date of commencement and for non-infrastructure projects, the loan is classified as non-performing if it fails to commence operations within 12 months from the documented date of such commencement.

 

The Reserve Bank of India has separate guidelines for restructured loans. As per these guidelines, loans restructured are classified as non-performing loans. However, loans granted for implementation of projects that are restructured due to a delay in implementation of the project (up to a specified period) enjoy forbearance in loans classification subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions stipulated by the Reserve Bank of India. The moratorium granted on repayment of principal/interest to the borrowers in terms of measures taken by the Reserve Bank of India post outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic is not accounted as restructuring of loan. The Reserve Bank of India has issued guidelines for restructuring of loans to micro and small enterprises borrowers while continuing loans classification as standard, subject to specified conditions. Further, Reserve Bank of India through its guideline on ‘Resolution Framework for COVID-19-related Stress’ dated August 6, 2020 and May 5, 2021, has provided a prudential framework to implement a resolution plan in respect of eligible corporate borrowers and personal loans, while classifying such exposures as standard, subject to specified conditions. For such loans, the diminution in the fair value of the loan, if any, measured in present value terms, has to be provided for in addition to the provisions applicable to non-performing loans.

2.Other Information

 

(1)Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

 

There has been no material change in legal and regulatory proceedings, since the last ASR filed on September 28, 2022 for fiscal 2022, except for the following:

 

Litigation

 

A number of litigations and claims against ICICI Bank and its directors are pending in various forums. The claims on ICICI Bank mainly arise in connection with civil cases involving allegations of service deficiencies, property or labor disputes, fraudulent transactions, economic offences and other cases filed in the normal course of business. We are also subject to counterclaims arising in connection with our enforcement of contracts and loans. A provision is created where an unfavorable outcome is deemed probable and in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. In view of the inherent unpredictability of litigation and for cases where the claim amount sought is substantial, the actual cost of resolving litigations may be substantially different from the provision held.

 

40 

 

We held a total provision of Rs. 614 million at the end of the first half of fiscal 2023 for 672 cases with claims totaling to Rs. 1.5 billion, where an unfavorable outcome was deemed probable and in respect of which a reliable estimate could be made.

 

For cases where an unfavorable outcome is deemed to be reasonably possible but not probable, the amount of claims is included in contingent liabilities. At the end of the first half of fiscal 2023, such claims amounted to a total of Rs. 3.1 billion relating to 49 cases. It was not possible to estimate the possible loss or range of possible losses for these cases due to the nature of the cases and other external factors. For cases where the possibility of an unfavorable outcome is deemed remote, we have not made a provision, nor have we included the amount of the claims in these cases in contingent liabilities.

 

In some instances, civil litigants have named our directors as co-defendants in legal proceedings against ICICI Bank. There were 367 such cases at the end of the first half of fiscal 2023.

 

Management believes, based on consultation with counsel, that the claims and counterclaims filed against us in the above legal proceedings that are assessed as remote are frivolous and untenable and their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Based on a review of other litigations by Legal Group, management believes that the outcome of such other matters will also not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

At the end of the first half of fiscal 2023, there were 118 ongoing litigations (including those where the likelihood of our incurring liability is assessed as ‘probable’, ‘possible’ and ‘remote’), each involving a claim of Rs. 10 million or more against us, with an aggregate amount of Rs. 860.2 billion (to the extent quantifiable and including amounts claimed jointly and severally from us and other parties).

 

In fiscal 2019, the Audit Committee under direction given by the Board of Directors of the Bank had instituted an independent enquiry to consider various allegations relating to the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Chanda Kochhar. The enquiry was supported by an external counsel and a forensic firm. The allegations levelled against Ms. Kochhar included nepotism, quid pro quo and claims that Ms. Kochhar, by not disclosing conflicts of interest caused by certain transactions between certain borrowers of the Bank and entities controlled by Ms. Kochhar’s spouse, committed infractions under applicable regulations and the Bank’s Code of Conduct. While the enquiry was underway, the Board accepted Ms. Kochhar’s request for early retirement, while noting that the enquiry would remain unaffected by this and certain benefits would be subject to the outcome of the enquiry. Subsequently, on consideration of the enquiry report and its conclusions, the Board of Directors decided to treat the separation of Ms. Chanda Kochhar from the Bank as a ‘Termination for Cause’ under the Bank’s internal policies, schemes and the Code of Conduct, with all attendant consequences.

 

41 

 

In January 2020, the Bank instituted a recovery suit against Ms. Kochhar for inter alia the clawback of bonus paid from April 2009 to March 2018. Ms. Kochhar also filed a suit before Bombay High Court in January 2022 contending that the termination of her employment is invalid and she is entitled to all the Employee Stock Options, which were originally allocated to her. An alternative claim has been made for damages of Rs. 17.3 billion against the Bank. Both these suits along with interim applications are being heard by the Bombay High Court. In November 2022, the Bombay High Court rejected an interim application filed by Ms. Kochhar and held that prima facie the revocation of the early retirement acceptance by the Bank was valid and restrained Ms. Kochhar from dealing with the Employee Stock Options, already exercised by her during the period from October 2018 to January 2019 while allowing the interim application filed by the Bank.

 

Enquiries by government authorities and regulatory agencies in the matter are continuing and the Bank has a cooperative posture for such enquiries and requests emanating from such authorities and agencies. The Securities and Exchange Board of India issued a show-cause notice to Ms. Kochhar and to the Bank in May 2018 in relation to the allegations. In November 2020, the Securities and Exchange Board of India issued a modified show cause notice to the Bank and responses were submitted by the Bank to both the show cause notices. The Central Bureau of Investigation had also initiated a preliminary enquiry and in January 2019, the Central Bureau of Investigation filed a first information report against Ms. Kochhar, her spouse and certain borrowers of the Bank and their promoters, accusing them of cheating the Bank. The first information report states that certain individuals, who were on the board of directors of the Bank and were part of committees (that sanctioned credit facilities to the concerned borrower group when the alleged transactions occurred), may also be investigated. These include the present Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and the present Managing Director of the Bank’s life insurance subsidiary. Authorities such as the Enforcement Directorate and Income-tax authorities are also probing the matter.

 

In the event that the Bank is found by the Securities and Exchange Board of India or the Central Bureau of Investigation or by any other authority or agency to have violated applicable laws or regulations, the Bank could become subject to legal and regulatory sanctions that may materially and adversely affect our reputation and may impact results of operations or financial condition.

 

On October 3, 2022, ICICI Bank Limited’s New York Federal Branch entered into a consent order with its federal banking supervisor, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which requires the Bank’s New York Federal Branch to enhance certain processes in its Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering program and establish and maintain an effective Sanctions Compliance program. The consent order does not involve any monetary penalty. The consent order was published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on its website on October 20, 2022.

3.Major Differences between United States and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices

 

The financial statements of the Bank for the year ended March 31, 2022 include notes describing the differences between accounting principles generally accepted in India (“Indian GAAP”) and those in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and disclose net income and stockholders’ equity under U.S. GAAP. The significant differences between the accounting policies under U.S. GAAP and Japanese accounting principles are summarized below:

 

(1)Principles of consolidation

 

The Bank consolidates entities in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, except the entities in which the control does not rest with the Bank. The Bank also consolidates entities deemed to be variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Bank is determined to be the primary beneficiary under ASC Subtopic, 810-10, “Consolidation – Overall”, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. Under U.S. GAAP, an entity is called a VIE if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot direct the activities of a legal entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or that do not have an obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. Further, under U.S. GAAP, when an entity loses a control in its former subsidiary, an entity is required to derecognize assets and liabilities (along with non-controlling interest) of the former subsidiary from consolidated financial statements and fair value its retained interest in former subsidiary on the date of deconsolidation. Any difference between the fair value of retained interest in former subsidiary and carrying value of assets and liabilities (along with non-controlling interest) of the former subsidiary is recognized as gain or loss on deconsolidation in earning.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, concept of variable interest entities is not used to determine the scope of consolidation. In addition, if an entity loses control of a former subsidiary and the former subsidiary becomes an associate, the difference between the interest and the sale price is recorded as gain or loss on sale in the consolidated statement of income. The remaining interest is recorded as an equity method investment in an affiliate. If a subsidiary ceases to be an affiliated company due to the sale of its shares, the difference between the interest and the sale price is recorded as gain or loss on sale in the consolidated statement of income. Investments in the remaining investee are valued at the carrying amount of the parent company's individual balance sheet.

 

43 

 

(2)Venture capital investments

 

The Bank’s venture capital funds carry their investments at fair value, with changes in fair value on venture capital investments recognized as gain/loss in the profit and loss account under U.S. GAAP.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, there is no specific accounting standard for venture capital investments, and accounting for such investments should follow general accounting standards for investments in securities.

 

(3)Fair value accounting of financial instruments

 

The Bank, converted a portion of its loan to certain entities into equity as per strategic debt restructuring guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India. Under U.S. GAAP, these entities were considered as equity affiliates under ASC subtopic 323-10 because of deemed significant influence due to ownership interest and management rights. The Bank opted for fair value option of these equity affiliates under ASC Topic 825 ‘Financial Instruments’. Accordingly, fair value changes in the loans, guarantees and investments were accounted through income statement.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, fair value option for financial instruments such as above is not allowed.

 

(4)Goodwill

 

The Bank does not amortize goodwill but instead tests goodwill for impairment at least annually.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, goodwill arising from business combinations is required to be amortized systematically, over a period not exceeding 20 years. Also, goodwill is subject to an impairment testing.

 

(5)Loan origination fees

 

Under U.S. GAAP, loan origination fees (net of certain costs) are amortized over the period of the loans as an adjustment to the yield on the loan.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, there is no specific accounting standard for amortization of loan origination fees.

 

(6)Hedge accounting

 

The Bank has designated certain derivatives as fair value hedges. Under fair value hedge accounting, changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized in the profit and loss account along with the changes in fair value of hedged items.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of both hedging items and hedging instruments are directly recognized in equity, net of tax effect.

 

44 

 

(7)Fair Value Measurements

 

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures for instruments carried at fair value.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, “Practical Guidelines Concerning Accounting for Financial Instruments” provides guidance on fair value and “Practical Treatment for Measuring Fair Value of Financial Assets” has also been issued, but there were no specific standards equivalent to U.S. GAAP for fair value measurement exist.

 

However, from the beginning of the fiscal year starting on or after April 1, 2021, ASBJ Statement No. 30 "Accounting Standard for Calculation of Fair Value" and ASBJ Guidance No. 31 "Guidance on Accounting Standard for Calculation of Fair Value" have been applied. As a result, U.S. GAAP and Japanese GAAP have similar concepts of fair value, but Japanese GAAP covers financial instruments and inventories held for trading purposes only. Equity securities and others for which market prices are not available shall be carried in the balance sheet at the acquisition cost in accordance with conventional ASBJ Statement No. 10, "Accounting standards for financial instruments".

 

(8)Allowance for impairment losses on available-for-sale debt securities

 

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC Topic 326 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” requires an entity to identify whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis of the debt security has resulted from credit loss or other factors. Impairment allowance relating to credit losses are to be recognized in earnings and the non-credit risk component in other comprehensive income. However, the allowance should be limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. If an entity has the intent to sell the debt security, or if it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, any allowance for credit losses shall be written off and the amortized cost basis shall be written down to the debt security’s fair value at the reporting date with any incremental impairment reported in earnings.

 

In Japan, impairment is not distinguished between the credit risk component and the non-credit risk component, and the entire amount of impairment including the non-credit risk component is recognized as a loss.

 

(9)Accounting for Equity Securities

 

Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with ASC Topic 321-10-35 “Equity Securities – Subsequent Measurement”, equity securities are subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet, and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. However, equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured by electing either a) at fair value and the change is recognized in earnings or b) measured at cost minus impairment plus/minus changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar investment of the same issuer, and the adjustment is recognized in earnings.

 

45 

 

In Japan, equity securities are measured in accordance with their classification (trading securities, subsidiary and associates’ securities, available-for-sale securities). The trading securities are marked-to-market through earnings. Investments in subsidiaries and associates’ securities are carried in the balance sheet at cost. Available-for-sale securities are marked-to-market with changes are recognized through equity and losses may be recognized through earnings. The securities for which the market price is not available are carried at cost. Investment in subsidiary and associates’ securities as well as available-for-sale securities are subject to impairment accounting.

 

(10)Pensions

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 715 “Compensation – Retirement Benefit” under U.S. GAAP, net pension cost represents service cost, interest cost, actual return on plan assets, amortization of prior service liability and others. Amortization of unrecognized gains and losses (actuarial gains and losses, prior service cost) is included in net periodic benefit cost if, as of the beginning of the year, the net actuarial gain or loss exceeds ten percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) or the fair value of the plan assets (“corridor approach”). Any differences between net pension cost charged against income and the amount actually funded is recorded as accrued or prepaid pension cost.

 

In addition, the difference between the plan assets and the PBO is recognized on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, and unrecognized gains and losses which are not recognized in current net pension cost, net of tax effect, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The difference between the plan assets recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and PBO is subsequently amortized into net pension cost and recycled from accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

In Japan, similar accounting treatment is also required for the accounting of unrecognized prior year service costs and actuarial gains or losses; however, the corridor approach is not allowed.

 

(11)Post-retirement Benefits other than pensions

 

ASC Topic 715 also requires the recognition of costs related to post-retirement benefits on an accrual basis over the expected service period of the employees rather than expensing such costs as incurred. In addition, unrecognized gains and losses which are not recognized in current net benefit cost, net of tax effect, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

In Japan, such plans are not commonly provided and therefore no specific accounting standards exist and such costs are expensed as incurred as a practice.

 

46 

 

(12)Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” addresses the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Under the standard, the financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

 

In Japan, no accounting standard has been established for uncertainty in tax positions.

 

(13)Leases (lessee’s accounting)

 

Under U.S. GAAP, a right to use asset and a lease liability are required to be recognized at the commencement of the lease for all leases on adoption of ASC Topic 842 - “Leases” and a single lease cost is recognized, which is calculated such that the cost of the operating lease is allocated over the lease term generally on a straight line basis.

 

In Japan, lease contracts are classified as finance lease and operating lease, and for a finance lease, lease assets and lease liability are recognized. In addition, finance lease is accounted for in the same way as buy/ sell transaction, and operating lease transactions are accounted for in the same way as rental transaction.

 

(14)Allowance for expected credit losses

 

Under U.S. GAAP, as per ASC Topic 326- Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, the allowance for lifetime expected credit losses on financial receivables are to be computed after considering the past and current available information, which would reflect current estimation of all lifetime expected credit losses. An entity is required to measure lifetime expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristic(s) exist. If an entity determines that a financial asset does not share risk characteristics with its other financial assets, the entity shall evaluate the financial asset for lifetime expected credit losses on an individual basis. If a financial asset is evaluated on an individual basis, an entity also should not include it in a collective evaluation. That is, financial assets should not be included in both collective assessments and individual assessments.

 

In Japan, general and specific reserves are established for loan losses deemed to be uncollectible by management. General reserve for normal receivables shall be estimated using reasonable criteria established in accordance with the condition of the receivables, such as the historical credit loss percentage, either by regarding all receivables as a whole, or by classifying the receivables into subclasses or similar receivables. Specific reserve applied to receivables that are individually identified as being uncollectible, are established based on a solvency analysis of each borrower.

4.Major Differences between Indian and Japanese Accounting Principles and Practices

 

The financial statements of the Bank are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India. The significant differences between the accounting policies adopted by the Bank and Japanese accounting principles are summarized below:

 

(1)Principles of consolidation

 

Entities, in which the Bank holds, directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries and other consolidating entities, more than 50.00% of the voting rights or where it exercises control, over the composition of board of directors/governing body to obtain economic benefit from their activities, are fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis. Investments in entities where the Bank has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the pro-rata share of their profit/(loss) is included in the consolidated profit and loss account. Assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of jointly controlled entities are consolidated using the proportionate consolidation method. Under this method, the Bank’s share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the jointly controlled entity is reported in separate line items in the consolidated financial statements. The Bank does not consolidate entities where the significant influence/control is intended to be temporary or entities which operate under severe long-term restrictions that impair their ability to transfer funds to parent/investing entity.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, jointly controlled entities are treated as affiliate and accounted for using equity method accounting, when they meet certain requirement, and there is no concept of proportionate consolidation method. Japanese accounting principle is silent about consolidation of entities with lack of their ability to transfer funds to parents.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, on acquisition of control in investee company, which was earlier accounted as an equity affiliate, investment in equity affiliate needs to be re-measured at fair value on acquisition date with resulting gain/loss accounted through profit and loss account.

 

(2)Sale of stake in subsidiary company

 

Under Indian GAAP, gain or loss on sale of equity stake in a subsidiary company is recognized in the income statement.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, when the parent’s control over a subsidiary continues, the difference between the amount of parent’s share in the subsidiary pertaining to partial disposition and the sales proceeds is reflected in capital surplus, and not recognized in the income statement.

 

(3)Sale of loans

 

The Bank transfers commercial and consumer loans through securitization transactions. The transferred loans are de-recognized and gains/losses are accounted for, only if the Bank surrenders the rights to benefits specified in the underlying securitized loan contract. Recourse and servicing obligations are accounted for net of provisions.

 

48 

 

In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines for securitization of standard assets, with effect from February 1, 2006, the profit/premium arising from securitization is amortized over the life of the securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle to which the assets are sold. With effect from May 7, 2012, the Reserve Bank of India guidelines require the profit/premium arising from securitization to be amortized based on the method prescribed in the guidelines. As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines issued on September 24, 2021, gain realized at the time of securitization of loans is accounted through profit and loss account on completion of transaction. The Bank accounts for any loss arising from securitization immediately at the time of sale.

 

The unrealized gains, associated with expected future margin income is recognized in profit and loss account on receipt of cash, after absorbing losses, if any.

 

Net income arising from sale of loan assets through direct assignment with recourse obligation is amortized over the life of underlying assets sold and net income from sale of loan assets through direct assignment, without any recourse obligation, is recognized at the time of sale. Net loss arising on account of direct assignment of loan assets is recognized at the time of sale. As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines issued on September 24, 2021, any loss or realized gain from sale of loan assets through direct assignment is accounted through profit and loss account on completion of transaction.

 

The acquired loans is carried at acquisition cost. In case premium is paid on a loan acquired, premium is amortized over the loan tenure.

 

In accordance with Reserve Bank of India guidelines, in case of non-performing/ loans sold to Asset Reconstruction Company, the Bank reverses the excess provision in profit and loss account in the year in which amounts are received. Any shortfall of sale value over the net book value on sale of such assets is recognized by the Bank in the year in which the loan is sold.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, the transfer of loans is recognized as sales and the resulting gains or losses are recognized if de-recognition requirements for financial assets under the financial component approach are met.

 

(4)Share-based compensation

 

Until March 31, 2021, the Bank recognized cost of stock options granted under Employee Stock Option Scheme, using intrinsic value method. Under Intrinsic value method, options cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price on the grant date. The fair market price is the closing price on the stock exchange with highest trading volume of the underlying shares, immediately prior to the grant date.

 

Pursuant to Reserve Bank of India clarification dated August 30, 2021, the cost of stock options granted after March 31, 2021 is recognized based on fair value method. The cost of stock options granted up to March 31, 2021 continues to be recognized on intrinsic value method.

 

49 

 

The cost of stock options is recognized in the profit and loss account over the vesting period.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, the intrinsic value based method is not used and the compensation expenses are accounted for based on the fair value at the grant date.

 

(5)Retirement benefit

 

Under Indian GAAP, defined benefit plans are accounted for based on actuarial valuation with actuarial gains and losses recognized directly in the profit and loss account.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, defined benefit plans are accounted for based on the actuarial calculations, with actuarial gains or losses being amortized over a certain period of years within the average remaining service period.

 

(6)Mark-to-market of securities

 

The Bank carries the held to maturity securities at the acquisition/amortized cost. The available for sale and held for trading securities are valued scrip-wise. Depreciation/appreciation on securities, other than those acquired by way of conversion of outstanding loans, is aggregated for each category. Net appreciation in each category under each investment classification, if any, being unrealized, is ignored, while net depreciation is provided for. The depreciation on securities acquired by way of conversion of outstanding loans is fully provided for. Non-performing investments are identified based on the Reserve Bank of India guidelines. The unrealized gains and losses of the Bank’s consolidated venture capital investments are transferred to Reserves and Surplus.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recognized in the profit and loss account. For available for sale securities, unrealized gain is principally recorded to the equity section, but it is allowed to record unrealized losses in the profit and loss account. Held to maturity securities are recorded on an amortized cost basis. Additionally, under Japanese accounting principles, there is no specific accounting standard for venture capital investments, and accounting for such investments should follow general accounting standards for investments in securities.

 

(7)Acquisition costs of securities

 

Costs including brokerage and commission pertaining to investments, paid at the time of acquisition and broken period interest (the amount of interest from the previous interest payment date till the date of purchase of instruments) on debt instruments, are charged to the profit and loss account.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, brokerage and commission costs paid at acquisition are included in acquisition costs of securities.

 

50 

 

(8)Provisions for loan losses

 

The Bank classifies its loans and advances, including at overseas branches and over-dues arising from crystalized derivative contracts, into performing and non-performing assets in accordance with Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Loans and advances held at the overseas branches that are identified as impaired as per host country regulations, but which are standard as per extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines are classified as non-performing assets to the extent of amount outstanding in the respective host country. In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India circular dated April 17, 2020, the moratorium granted to certain borrowers is excluded from the determination of number of days past-due/out-of-order status for the purpose of asset classification. Further, non-performing assets are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by Reserve Bank of India. Interest on nonperforming advances is transferred to an interest suspense account and not recognized in profit and loss account until received.

 

The Bank considers an account as restructured, where for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, the Bank grants concessions to the borrower, that the Bank would not otherwise consider. The moratorium granted to the borrowers based on Reserve Bank of India guidelines is not accounted as restructuring of loan. The Reserve Bank of India guidelines on ‘Resolution Framework for COVID-19-related Stress’ provide a prudential framework for resolution plan of certain loans. The borrowers where resolution plan was implemented under these guidelines are classified as standard restructured.

 

In the case of corporate loans and advances, provisions are made for sub-standard and doubtful assets at rates prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India. Loss assets and the unsecured portion of doubtful assets are fully provided. For impaired loans and advances held in overseas branches, which are performing as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines but are classified as non-performing assets based on host country guidelines, provisions are made as per the host country regulations. For loans and advances held in overseas branches, which are non-performing assets both as per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines and as per the host country guidelines, provisions are made at the higher of the provisions required under Reserve Bank of India regulations and host country regulations. Provision on homogeneous retail loans and advances, subject to minimum provisioning requirements of Reserve Bank of India, are assessed at a borrower level, on the basis of the ageing of the loans. The specific provisions on non-performing retail loans and advances held by the Bank are higher than the minimum regulatory requirements.

 

In respect of non-retail loans reported as fraud to the Reserve Bank of India, the entire amount is provided for over a period not exceeding four quarters starting from the quarter in which fraud has been detected. In respect of non-retail loans where there has been delay in reporting the fraud to the Reserve Bank of India or which are classified as loss accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In case of fraud in retail accounts, the entire amount is provided immediately. In respect of borrowers classified as non-cooperative borrowers or wilful defaulters, the Bank makes accelerated provisions as per guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

 

51 

 

The Bank holds specific provisions against non-performing loans and advances and against certain performing loans and advances in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India directions, including Reserve Bank of India direction for provision on accounts referred to National Company Law Tribunal under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

 

The Bank makes provision on restructured loans subject to minimum requirements as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Provision due to diminution in the fair value of restructured/rescheduled loans and advances is made by the Bank in accordance with the applicable Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Non-performing and restructured loans are upgraded to standard as per the extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines or host country regulations, as applicable.

 

In terms of Reserve Bank of India guideline, the non-performing assets are written-off in accordance with the Bank’s policy. Amounts recovered against bad debts written-off are recognized in the profit and loss account.

 

The Bank maintains general provision on performing loans and advances in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, including provisions on loans to borrowers having unhedged foreign currency exposure, provisions on loans to specific borrowers in specific stressed sectors, provision on exposures to step-down subsidiaries of Indian companies and provision on incremental exposure to borrowers identified as per large exposure framework of Reserve Bank of India. For performing loans and advances in overseas branches, the general provision is made at the higher of the host country regulations requirement and the Reserve Bank of India requirement.

 

In addition to the provisions required to be held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for individual country exposures including indirect country risk (other than for home country exposure). The countries are categorized into seven risk categories namely insignificant, low, moderately low, moderate, moderately high, high and very high, and provisioning is made on exposures exceeding 180 days on a graded scale ranging from 0.25% to 25%. For exposures with contractual maturity of less than 180 days, provision is required to be held at 25% of the rates applicable to exposures exceeding 180 days. The indirect exposure is reckoned at 50% of the exposure. If the country exposure (net) of the Bank in respect of each country does not exceed 1% of the total funded assets, no provision is required on such country exposure.

 

The Bank makes additional provisions as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines for the cases where viable resolution plan has not been implemented within the timelines prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India, from the date of default. These additional provisions are written-back on satisfying the conditions for reversal as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines.

 

Following a prudent approach, the Bank has made a Covid-19 related provision on certain borrowers, including those who had taken moratorium at any time during fiscal 2021 under the extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines. This provision is included as contingency provision in the Bank’s books. The Bank also makes additional contingency provision on certain standard assets. The contingency provision is included in ‘Other Liabilities and Provisions’.

 

52 

 

The Bank has a Board approved policy for making floating provision, which is in addition to the specific and general provisions made by the Bank. The floating provision can only be utilized with the approval of Board and Reserve Bank of India, in case of contingencies which do not arise in the normal course of business and are exceptional and non-recurring in nature and for making specific provision for impaired loans as per the requirement of the extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines or any regulatory guidance/instructions. The floating provision is netted-off from advances.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, provision for loan losses in banks is established based on self-assessment and the historical loss ratio and outstanding balance of each asset category. Alternatively, it is also permitted to be calculated based on the difference between the discounted future cash flows using the original effective interest rate and the outstanding balance. The regulatory agency does not prescribe specific rates to be used for calculation of provisions in banks.

 

(9)Hedge accounting

 

Under Indian GAAP, the swap contracts entered to hedge on-balance sheet assets and liabilities are structured in such a way that they bear an opposite and offsetting impact with the underlying on-balance sheet items. The impact of such derivative instruments is correlated with the movement of underlying assets and liabilities and accounted pursuant to the principles of hedge accounting. The Bank identifies the hedged item (asset or liability) at the inception of the transaction itself. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of the inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter.. Based on Reserve Bank of India circular issued on June 26, 2019, the accounting of hedge relationships established after June 26, 2019 is in accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts issued by ICAI. . The swaps under hedge relationships established prior to that date are accounted for on an accrual basis and are not marked to market unless their underlying transaction is marked-to-market. Gains or losses arising from hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognized in the profit and loss Account.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, all derivatives are marked to market with unrealized gains and losses being deferred to the extent that the requirements for hedge accounting are met.

 

(10)Deferred tax

 

Under Indian GAAP, deferred tax assets on unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward losses are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets.

 

Under Indian GAAP, deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiaries and affiliates are not recognized.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, deferred tax is recognized based on the schedule for reversal of temporary difference as a whole. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on part of undistributed profits of subsidiaries that are expected to be taxed upon payment as dividends.

 

53 

 

(11)Business Combination

 

Under Indian GAAP, for the acquisitions approved by the Reserve Bank of India, the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of net assets acquired was treated in accordance with the approved scheme of merger whereby the difference was adjusted from reserves.

 

Under Japanese accounting principles, business combinations are principally accounted for by the purchase method. The acquisition cost (fair value of the consideration transferred at the date of business combination) is allocated based on the fair value of the identifiable assets and identifiable liabilities, within the assets transferred and liabilities assumed. When there is a separately transferable asset such as a legal right within the assets transferred, this intangible asset is treated as an identifiable asset. The excess of the acquisition cost over the net of the identifiable assets and identifiable liabilities is accounted for as goodwill.

 

(12)Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Non-banking assets acquired in satisfaction of claims are valued at the market value on a distress sale basis or value of loan, whichever is lower. Further, the Bank creates provision on these assets as per the extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines or specific directions of the Reverse Bank of India.

 

There is no accounting principle ruling for assets acquired in satisfaction of claims under Japanese accounting principles.

 

54 

 

VII.TRENDS IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES

 

The information required under this subsection is omitted because the foreign exchange rate between the Indian rupee, which is the currency in which the financial statements of the Bank are presented, and the Japanese yen, has been published in two or more daily newspapers reporting general affairs in Japan for the referenced periods.
