Issue. The occurrence of any of following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed
immaterial could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s business, including its ability to grow its asset
portfolio, the quality of its assets, its liquidity, its financial performance, its stockholders’ equity, its ability to
implement its strategy and its ability to repay the interest or principal on the Bonds in a timely manner or at all.
Risks relating to a specific Tranche Issue or as may be required, will be set out in the relevant Tranche Prospectus.

Risks Relating to the Bank’s Business

1. The Bank’s business is particularly vulnerable to interest rate risk, and volatility in interest rates could
adversely affect its net interest margin, the value of its fixed income portfolio, its income from treasury
operations and its financial performance.

The Bank could be materially adversely impacted by a rise in generally prevailing interest rates on
deposits, especially if the rise were sudden or sharp. If such a rise in interest rates were to occur, the
Bank‘s net interest margin could be adversely affected because the interest paid by the Bank on its
deposits could increase at a higher rate than the interest received by the Bank on its advances and other
investments. The requirement that the Bank maintain a portion of its assets in fixed income Government
securities could also have a negative impact on its net interest income and net interest margin because the
Bank typically earns interest on this portion of its assets at rates that are generally less favorable than
those typically received on its other interest-earning assets. Banks may have to invest funds in fixed
income securities at a level greater than the stipulated requirement to avoid idle funds in situations where
there is a lack of credit off take. An example of this was during financial year 2008-09 and financial year
2009-10 when global economic activity slowed due to the financial crisis in 2008-09 followed by a period
of recession. Central banks adopted accommodative monetary policies to manage the liquidity problem. In
periods where there is a reversal of easy monetary policy stance when interest rates begin rising, it can be
difficult liquidating securities in excess of the requirement without affecting profitability.

The Indian financial markets remained volatile during the financial year 2009-2010. The equity market
recovered due to an increase in risk appetite after a few major economies started showing signs of growth.
The bond market remained under pressure as the RBI started reversing its easy monetary policy measures
by raising policy rates. The RBI also raised CRR and SLR to absorb excess liquidity in the system in order
to control inflation. Inflation, as measured by wholesale price index, reached a high of 11.14% for the
month of May 2010. The RBI, in its Annual Monetary Policy on April 20, 2010, again raised CRR,
reverse repo and repo rate by 25 basis points each to anchor inflationary expectations. In its mid quarter
review of the annual policy statement for fiscal 2011 announced on December 16, 2010, the RBI has again
reduced the statutory liquidity ratio from 25 percent to 24 percent.

The Bank is also exposed to interest rate risk through its treasury operations and through one of its
subsidiaries, SBI DFHI Limited, which is a primary dealer in Government securities. A rise in interest
rates or greater interest rate volatility could adversely affect the Bank‘s income from treasury operations
or the value of its fixed income securities trading portfolio. Sharp and sustained increases in the rates of
interest charged on floating rate home loans, which are a material proportion of its loan portfolio, would
result in extension of loan maturities and higher monthly installments due from borrowers, which could
result in higher rates of default in this portfolio.

2. If the Bank fails to maintain desired levels of customer deposits or loans, its business operations may be
materially and adversely affected.

Customer deposits are the Bank‘s primary source of funding. However, many factors affect the growth of
deposits, some of which are beyond the Bank‘s control, such as economic and political conditions,
availability of investment alternatives and retail customers‘ changing perceptions toward savings. For
example, retail customers may reduce their deposits and increase their investment in securities for a higher
return, while SME and mid-corporate customers may reduce their deposits in order to fund projects in a
favourable economic environment. If the Bank fails to maintain its desired level of deposits, the Bank‘s
liquidity position, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

10
In such event, the Bank may need to seek more expensive sources of funding, and it is uncertain whether
the Bank will be able to obtain additional funding on commercially reasonable terms as and when
required. The Bank‘s ability to raise additional funds may be impaired by factors over which it has little or
no control, such as deteriorating market conditions or severe disruptions in the financial markets.

Conversely, the Bank may not be able to reduce its deposits in order to reduce surplus liquidity.
Consumers shifted significant amounts of Rupees into India‘s state-owned banks, and above all into the
Bank, during the recent global financial crisis, and from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2010, the Banks
total deposit grew from Rs. 5,374.0 billion to Rs. 8,041.2 billion. In response to this trend, the Bank
aggressively expanded its lending, cut interest rates, promoted home loans, car loans and small business
loans and provided lower deposit rates than private-sector banks. Nevertheless, the net interest margin of
the Bank declined from 3.07% for the year ended March 31, 2008 to 2.66% for the year ended March 31,
2010, primarily due to the fact that the Bank experienced significant growth in deposits over the period
without a commensurate growth in loans and advances. If the Bank cannot secure sufficient loan volumes
or earn sufficient interest on its lending due to economic conditions or other factors, its ability to earn
income maintain and increase its net interest margin may be materially adversely affected.

3. The Bank has a large portfolio of Government securities that may limit its ability to deploy funds into
higher yielding investments.

As a result of Indian reserve requirements, the Bank is more structurally exposed to interest rate
risk than banks in many other countries. Under the regulation of the RBI, the Bank‘s liabilities are subject
to the statutory liquidity ratio (―SLR‖) requirement which requires that a minimum specified percentage of
a bank‘s demand and term liabilities be invested in approved securities, and such reserve requirements are
subject to increases by the RBI in order to curb inflation or absorb excess liquidity. In its mid quarter
review of the annual policy statement for fiscal 2011 announced on December 16, 2010, the RBI reduced
the statutory liquidity ratio from 25 percent to 24 percent, with effect from December 18, 2010.
Government securities represented 82.0% of the Bank‘s domestic investment portfolio as of March 31,
2010, comprising 28.20% of the Bank‘s demand and term liabilities as of March 31, 2010. The Bank earns
interest on such Government securities at rates which are less favorable than those which it typically
receives in respect of its retail and corporate loan portfolio. In addition, the market and accounting value
of such securities could be adversely affected by overall rising interest rates.

Due to a period of lower credit growth during the year ended March 31, 2010, the Bank invested surplus
capital in fixed-income Government securities. Although many of these securities are short-term in nature,
the market value of the Bank‘s holdings could decrease if interest rates increase to higher levels. Under
such a scenario, the Bank would face a choice either to liquidate its investments and realize a loss or to
hold the securities and possibly be required to recognize an accounting loss, either of which outcomes
could adversely impact its results of operations.

4. The base rate system is a new method for pricing loans, and its impact on the future results of the Bank
is unclear.

As of July 1, 2010, RBI guidelines replacing the benchmark prime lending rate regime with a base rate
regime became effective. The Bank plans to implement the new base rate regime and has declared that its
initial base rate, the minimum benchmark lending rate that banks can charge customers, is to be set at
7.5% per annum. Because the base rate regime is newly-enacted, its long-term effects on the lending
practices of the Bank and other banks are unclear as of the date of this Shelf Prospectus. If the base rate
regime is successful in promoting transparency and enhancing competition in the bank lending markets in
India, the Bank may lose business to its competitors, who may benefit more from the new regime than the
Bank does. As banks are unable to lend at rates below their effective base rate, regardless of the
creditworthiness of the borrower, it is possible that the Bank will be restricted from making loans that
would otherwise result in a profit, thereby adversely affecting the Bank‘s results of operations. It is also
possible that the base rate regime will increase deposit rates, which would raise the Bank‘s cost of
funding, lower the Bank‘s net interest margin and adversely affect its financial condition and results of
operations.

11
5. A substantial portion of the Bank’s income is derived from its Government operations, a slowdown in
which could adversely affect the Bank’s business.

The Government generates significant business activity in the Indian economy. For the year ended March
31, 2010, total Government business turnover was Rs. 20,654.3 billion. For the year ended March 31,
2010, the Bank earned commission from Government transactions of Rs. 15.2 billion, or 17.21% of the
Bank‘s other (non-interest) income, and handled 58.8% of the Government‘s aggregate receipts and
payments as well as 65.1% of state governments‘ payments and receipts. In many instances, the Bank acts
as the sole agent for certain Government transactions. While the Bank has enjoyed a strong working
relationship with the Government in the past, there is no assurance that this relationship will continue in
the future. The Government is not obligated to choose the Bank to conduct any of its transactions. If the
Government does choose another bank to perform such tasks, the Bank‘s business and thereby the income
derived from its Government operations, will be adversely affected.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the total Government business turnover was Rs. 6,019.7 billion and
commission earned from Government transactions was Rs. 4.4 billion. During this period, the Bank
handled 62.9% of the Government‘s aggregate receipts and payments.

6. If the Bank is not able to control or reduce the level of NPAs in its portfolio, its business will be
adversely affected.

The Bank‘s net NPAs as of March 31, 2010, were Rs. 108.7 billion or 1.72% of its net advances. The
Bank‘s NPAs can be attributed to several factors, including increased competition arising from economic
liberalization in India, variable industrial growth, a sharp decline in commodity prices, 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 during the period in which a large number of projects contracted their borrowings,
which reduced profitability for certain of the Bank‘s borrowers. Although the Bank‘s loan portfolio
contains loans to a wide variety of businesses, financial difficulties could increase the Bank‘s level of
NPAs and adversely affect its business, future financial performance, shareholders‘ funds and the price of
the Bonds.

7. Further deterioration of the Bank’s NPA portfolio and an inability to improve its provisioning coverage
as a percentage of gross NPAs could adversely affect the price of the Bonds.

Although the Bank believes that its total provisions made in accordance with RBI guidelines will be
adequate to cover all known losses in its asset portfolio, there can be no assurance that there will not be a
further deterioration in the provisioning coverage as a percentage of gross NPAs or otherwise or that the
percentage of NPAs that the Bank will be able to recover will be similar to its past experience of
recoveries of NPAs. Any further deterioration in its NPA portfolio could adversely affect its business, its
future financial performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

8. Recent Reserve Bank of India requirements that all Indian banks increase their provisioning coverage
as a percentage of gross NPAs could adversely affect the Bank’s business.

Indian banks are being required by a new RBI policy to increase their total provisioning coverage ratio,
including floating provisions and prudential/technical write-offs, to 70% by September 30, 2010. The RBI
has granted the Bank an extension of this deadline up to September 30, 2011, subject to the fulfillment of
certain specified conditions. The Bank‘s net provisioning coverage ratio at March 31, 2010, computed as
per the RBI guidelines was 59.2%. Increased provisioning by the Bank in order to comply with the
recently mandated increase in provisions against the Bank‘s NPA portfolio or any future RBI-mandated
increases or changes to its policy could lead to an adverse impact on the Bank‘s business, future financial
performance and the price of the Bonds.

9. The Bank’s loan portfolio contains significant advances to the agricultural sector.

The Bank‘s loan portfolio contains significant advances to the agricultural sector, amounting to Rs. 637.23
billion and including indirect finance to agriculture amounting to Rs. 841.51 billion. The Government‘s
proposed agricultural lending plans may contemplate state-owned banks, including the Bank, lending at
below market rates in the agricultural sector. The RBI guidelines stipulate that the Bank‘s agricultural

12
advances be 18.0% of adjusted net bank credit. The Bank has achieved 18.08% of Adjusted Net Bank
Credit (―ANBC‖) as on March 31, 2010.

10. The Bank may experience delays in enforcing its collateral when borrowers default on their obligations
to the Bank, which may result in failure to recover the expected value of collateral security, exposing it
to a potential loss.

A substantial portion of the Bank‘s loans to corporate customers are secured by real assets, including
property, plant and equipment. The Bank‘s loans to corporate customers also include working capital
credit facilities that are typically secured by a first charge on inventory, receivables and other current
assets. In some cases, the Bank may have taken further security of a first or second charge on fixed assets,
a pledge of financial assets like marketable securities, corporate guarantees and personal guarantees. A
substantial portion of the Bank‘s loans to retail customers is also secured by the financed assets,
predominantly property and vehicles. Although in general the Bank‘s loans are over-collateralized, an
economic downturn could result in a fall in relevant collateral values for the Bank.

In India, foreclosure on immovable property generally requires a written petition to an Indian court or
tribunal. An application, when made, may be subject to delays and administrative requirements that may
result, or be accompanied by, a decrease in the value of the immovable property. Security created on
shares of a borrower can be enforced without court proceedings. However, there can be delays in
realization in the event that the borrower challenges the enforcement in an Indian court. In the event a
corporate borrower makes a reference to a specialized quasi-judicial authority called the Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (―BIFR‖), foreclosure and enforceability of collateral is stayed.
The Bank may not be able to realize the full value on its collateral as a result of, among other factors,
delays in bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings, defects in the registration of collateral and fraudulent
transfers by borrowers. A failure to recover the expected value of collateral security could expose the
Bank to a potential loss. Any unexpected losses could adversely affect the Bank‘s business, its future
financial performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

11. The Indian banking industry is very competitive and the Bank’s growth strategy depends on its ability
to compete effectively.

The Bank faces competition from Indian and foreign commercial banks in all its products and services.
The Bank also faces competition from Indian and foreign commercial banks and non-bank finance
companies in its retail products and services. In addition, since the Bank raises funds from market sources
and individual depositors, it will face increasing competition for such funds. Additionally, the Indian
financial sector may experience further consolidation, resulting in fewer banks and financial institutions.
The Government permits foreign banks to establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in India and invest up to
74.0% in Indian private sector banks. The RBI is due to publish a discussion paper in 2011 on the
presence of foreign banks in India. In addition, private sector financial services companies, non-bank
finance companies and their affiliates may be entitled to commence banking operations which may further
increase competition. In August 2010, the RBI released the discussion paper on ―Entry of New Banks in
the Private Sector‖ which, inter alia, includes discussion on the minimum capital requirements for new
banks and promoters contribution, foreign shareholding in the new banks, whether industrial or business
houses should be permitted to promote banks and whether non-banking financial companies should be
entitled to convert to banks. The Government is also actively encouraging banks and other financial
institutions to significantly increase their lending to the agricultural sector, which will make this segment
more competitive. Due to competitive pressures, the Bank may be unable to successfully execute its
growth strategy and offer products and services at reasonable returns and this may adversely impact its
business, future financial performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

12. The Bank is subject to credit, market and liquidity risk which may have an adverse effect on its credit
ratings and its cost of funds.

To the extent any of the instruments and strategies the Bank uses to hedge or otherwise manage its
exposure to market or credit risk are not effective, the Bank may not be able to mitigate effectively its risk
exposures in particular to market environments or against particular types of risk. The Bank‘s balance
sheet growth will be dependent upon economic conditions, as well as upon its determination to sell,
purchase, securitize or syndicate particular loans or loan portfolios. The Bank‘s trading revenues and

13
interest rate risk exposure are dependent upon its ability to properly identify, and mark to market, changes
in the value of financial instruments caused by changes in market prices or rates. The Bank‘s earnings are
dependent upon the effectiveness of its management of migrations in credit quality and risk
concentrations, the accuracy of its valuation models and its critical accounting estimates and the adequacy
of its allowances for loan losses. To the extent its assessments, assumptions or estimates prove inaccurate
or not predictive of actual results, the Bank could suffer higher than anticipated losses. The successful
management of credit, market and operational risk is an important consideration in managing its liquidity
risk because it affects the evaluation of its credit ratings by rating agencies. Rating agencies may reduce or
indicate their intention to reduce the ratings at any time. The rating agencies can also decide to withdraw
their ratings altogether, which may have the same effect as a reduction in its ratings. Any reduction in the
Bank‘s ratings (or withdrawal of ratings) may increase its borrowing costs, limit its access to capital
markets and adversely affect its ability to sell or market its products, engage in business transactions,
particularly longer-term and derivatives transactions, or retain its customers. This, in turn, could reduce its
liquidity and negatively impact its operating results and financial condition.

13. The Bank has high concentrations of loans to certain customers and to certain sectors and if a
substantial portion of these loans were to become non-performing, the quality of its loan portfolio could
be adversely affected.

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank‘s total exposure to borrowers (fund-based and non-fund based, including
guarantees) was Rs. 9,179.1 billion (including principal outstanding, accrued interest and 100.0% of the
nominal amount of non-fund based exposures). The ten largest individual borrowers in the aggregate
accounted for 9.0% of the Bank‘s total exposure and its ten largest borrower groups in aggregate
accounted for 12.9% of its total exposure. The largest borrower as of March 31, 2010 accounted for 1.6%
of the Bank‘s total exposure and 16.1% of the Bank‘s total capital funds. The largest borrower group as of
March 31, 2010 accounted for approximately 2.6% of the Bank‘s total exposure and for 25.9% of the
Bank‘s total capital funds. Credit losses on these large single borrower and group exposures could
adversely affect the Bank‘s financial performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

The Bank has extended loans to several industrial sectors in India. The table below sets out the Bank‘s
five largest domestic industry exposures (fund-based, excluding retail) as of March 31, 2010.

Industry Fund-based (Rs. in millions)

Non-banking financial companies and Trading . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ……………...…1,570,947

These exposures, totalling Rs. 2,633.1 billion, constituted 48.4% of the Bank‘s gross domestic advances
(excluding retail) and 41.0% of its total gross advances as of March 31, 2010. The global and domestic
trends in these industrial sectors may have a bearing on the Bank‘s gross financial position. Although the
Bank‘s portfolio contains loans to a wide variety of businesses, financial difficulties in these industrial
sectors could increase the level of NPAs and restructured assets, and adversely affect the Bank‘s business,
its future financial performance, shareholders‘ funds and the price of the Bonds.

14. A substantial portion of the Bank’s loans have a tenor exceeding one year, exposing the Bank to risks
associated with economic cycles and project success rates.

As of March 31, 2010, loans with a remaining tenor exceeding one year constituted 68.0% of the Bank‘s
total customer loans. The long tenor of these loans may expose the Bank to risks arising out of economic
cycles. In addition, some of these loans are project finance loans. There can be no assurance that these
projects will perform as anticipated or that such projects will be able to generate cash flows to service
commitments under the loans. The Bank is also exposed to infrastructure projects that are still under
development and are open to risks arising out of delay in execution, failure of borrowers to execute
projects on time, delay in getting approvals from necessary authorities, and breach of contractual
obligations by counterparties, all of which may adversely impact the projected cash flows. Although the

14
Bank has in place certain procedures to monitor its project finance borrowers, these procedures may not be
effective, especially given the size and scope of the Bank‘s loan portfolio and the number of its borrowers.
Risks arising out of a recession in the economy and a delay in project implementation or commissioning
could lead to rise in delinquency rates and, in turn, adversely impact the Bank‘s future financial
performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

15. The Bank’s funding is primarily short-term and if depositors do not roll over deposited funds upon
maturity the Bank’s business could be adversely affected.

The maturity profile of the Bank‘s assets and liabilities shows a negative liquidity gap in the three months
to one year time period. The negative gap has arisen mainly because the Bank‘s deposits and other
liabilities are of shorter average maturity than its loans and investments. Most of the Bank‘s incremental
funding requirements are met through short-term funding sources, primarily in the form of deposits.
However, a large portion of the Bank‘s assets have medium- or long-term maturities, creating potential
funding mismatches. The Bank‘s customer deposits are both demand deposits and term deposits, with
approximately 35.8% having maturities of up to one year as of March 31, 2010. If a substantial number of
the Bank‘s depositors do not roll over deposited funds upon maturity, its liquidity position could be
adversely affected. The failure to obtain rollover of customer deposits upon maturity or to replace them
with fresh deposits could have a material adverse effect on the Bank‘s business, future financial
performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

16. The Bank is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

As a financial organization with operations in various countries, the Bank is exposed to exchange rate risk.
The Bank complies with regulatory limits upon its unhedged foreign currency exposure by making foreign
currency loans on terms that are generally similar to its foreign currency borrowings and thereby
transferring the foreign exchange risk to the borrower or through active use of cross-currency swaps and
forwards to generally match the currencies of its assets and liabilities.

However, the Bank is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency rates for its unhedged exposure. Adverse
movements in foreign exchange rates may also impact the Bank‘s borrowers adversely, which may in turn
impact the quality of its exposure to these borrowers. Volatility in foreign exchange rates could adversely
affect the Bank‘s business, future financial performance and the price of the Bonds.

17. The Bank’s risk management policies and procedures may leave the Bank exposed to unidentified or
unanticipated risks, which could negatively affect its business or result in losses.

The Bank‘s hedging strategies and other risk management techniques may not be fully effective in
mitigating its risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that are
unidentified or unanticipated. Some methods of managing risk are based upon observed historical market
behavior. As a result, these methods may not predict future risk exposures, which could be greater than the
historical measures indicated. Other risk management methods depend upon an evaluation of information
regarding markets, clients or other matters. This information may not in all cases be accurate, complete,
up to date or properly evaluated. Management of operational, legal or regulatory risk requires, among
other things, policies and procedures to properly record and verify a large number of transactions and
events. Although the Bank has established these policies and procedures, they may not be fully effective.

18. There is operational risk associated with the Bank’s industry which, when realized, may have an
adverse impact on its business.

The Bank, like all financial institutions, is exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of
fraud or other misconduct by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees and third
parties (including violation of regulations for prevention of corrupt practices, and other regulations
governing its business activities), or operational errors, including clerical or record keeping errors or
errors resulting from faulty computer or telecommunications systems. The Bank outsources some
functions to other agencies. Given its high volume of transactions, certain errors may be repeated or
compounded before they are discovered and successfully rectified. In addition, its dependence upon
automated systems to record and process transactions may further increase the risk that technical system

15
flaws or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to
detect. The Bank may also be subject to disruptions of its 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 give rise to a deterioration in customer service and to loss or
liability to the Bank. The Bank is further exposed to the risk that external vendors may be unable to fulfill
their contractual obligations to the Bank (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors
by their respective employees as the Bank is), and to the risk that its (or its vendors‘) business continuity
and data security systems prove not to be sufficiently adequate. The Bank also faces the risk that the
design of its controls and procedures may prove inadequate, or are circumvented, thereby causing delays
in detection or errors in information. Although the Bank maintains a system of controls designed to keep
operational risk at appropriate levels, like all banks, the Bank has suffered losses from operational risk and
there can be no assurance that the Bank will not suffer losses from operational risks in the future that may
be material in amount, and its reputation could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any such events
involving its employees, customers or third parties.

19. The Bank may not be able to detect money-laundering and other illegal or improper activities fully or
on a timely basis, which could expose it to additional liability and harm its business or reputation.

The Bank is required to comply with applicable anti-money-laundering and anti-terrorism laws and other
regulations in India and in other jurisdictions where it has operations. These laws and regulations require
the Bank, among other things, to adopt and enforce ―know-your-customer‖ policies and procedures and to
report suspicious and large transactions to the applicable regulatory authorities in different jurisdictions.
While the Bank has adopted policies and procedures aimed at detecting and preventing the use of its
banking networks for money-laundering activities and by terrorists and terrorist-related organizations and
individuals generally, such policies and procedures may not completely eliminate instances where the
Bank may be used by other parties to engage in money-laundering and other illegal or improper activities
due to, in part, the short history of these policies and procedures. To the extent the Bank fails to fully
comply with applicable laws and regulations, the relevant government agencies to whom the Bank reports
have the power and authority to impose fines and other penalties. In addition, the Bank‘s business and
reputation could suffer if customers use the Bank for money-laundering or illegal or improper purposes.

20. Significant security breaches could adversely impact the Bank’s business.

The Bank seeks to protect its computer systems and network infrastructure from physical break-ins as well
as security breaches and other disruptions caused by the Bank‘s increased use of technology including the
internet. Computer break-ins and power disruptions could affect the security of information stored in and
transmitted through these computer systems and network infrastructure. There may be areas in the system,
that have not been properly protected from security breaches and other attacks. The Bank employs
security systems, including firewalls and password encryption, designed to minimise the risk of security
breaches. Although the 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. Failed security measures could have a material adverse
effect on the Bank‘s business, its future financial performance and the trading price of the Bonds. The
Bank‘s business operations are based on a high volume of transactions. Although the Bank takes adequate
measures to safeguard against system related and other fraud, there can be no assurance that it would be
able to prevent fraud. The Bank‘s reputation could be adversely affected by significant fraud committed
by employees, customers or outsiders.

21. System failures could adversely impact the Bank.

Given the increasing share of retail products and services and transaction banking services in the Bank‘s
overall business, the importance of systems technology to the Bank‘s business has increased significantly.
The Bank‘s principal delivery channels include ATMs, call centres and the internet. Any failure in the
Bank‘s systems, particularly for retail products and services and transaction banking, could significantly
affect the Bank‘s operations and the quality of its customer service and could result in business and
financial losses and adversely affect the trading price of the Bonds.

22. Banking is a heavily regulated industry and material changes in the regulations which govern the Bank
could cause its business to suffer.

16
Banks in India are subject to detailed supervision and regulation by the RBI. In addition, banks are
generally subject to changes in Indian law, as well as to changes in regulations, government policies and
accounting principles. The laws and regulations governing the banking sector, including those governing
the products and services that the Bank provides or proposes to provide, such as its life insurance or asset
management business, or derivatives and hedging products and services, could change in the future. Any
such changes may adversely affect the Bank‘s business, future financial performance and the price of the
Bonds by, for example, requiring a restructuring of the Bank‘s activities or increasing its operating costs.

The lending norms of the RBI require every scheduled commercial bank to extend 40.0% of its net bank
credit to certain eligible sectors, such as agriculture, small-scale industries and individual housing finance
up to Rs. 2 million (which are categorized as ―Priority Sectors‖). Economic difficulties are likely to affect
those borrowers in Priority Sectors more severely. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank‘s lending to Priority
Sectors accounted for 41.0% of adjusted net bank credit, with 18.1% of net credit going to the agricultural
sector.

23. Regulatory changes in India or other jurisdictions in which the Bank operates could adversely affect its
business.

The laws and regulations or the regulatory or enforcement environment in any of those jurisdictions in
which the Bank operates may change at any time and may have an adverse effect on the products or
services the Bank offers, the value of its assets or its business in general.

Throughout calendar year 2007 and roughly the first half of 2008, the RBI enacted gradual increases in the
repo rate and the cash reserve ratio (―CRR‖), respectively, from 7.75% and 6.25% in March 2007 to a
peak of 9.0% effective August 30, 2008.

During the second half of calendar year 2008 and the first half of 2009, in response to the economic crisis
the RBI relaxed its reserve and provisioning requirements in order to promote activity in the lending and
credit markets. On May 15, 2008, the risk weight on residential housing loans to individuals was reduced
from 75.0% to 50.0%. In November 2008, the provisioning requirements for all standard assets (except for
the agriculture and SME sectors) were reduced to a uniform level of 0.4%. With effect from November
15, 2008 the risk weight for commercial real estate exposure was reduced from 125.0% to 100.0%. The
repo rate was reduced incrementally until it reached a low of 4.75% from April 21, 2009. The CRR was
reduced incrementally until it reached 5.0% effective January 17, 2009.

In the second half of calendar year 2009, the RBI indicated that it would begin to reverse its previous
expansionary measures in order to subdue inflationary pressures while preserving growth momentum. It
implemented a range of measures, such as restoring the SLR to 25.0% from its previous level of 24.0%
which has again been restored to the previous level of 24.0%, and adjusting or discontinuing special rules
in connection with special refinance facilities for commercial banks. In the third quarter review of
monetary policy in January 2010, the RBI increased the CRR by 75 basis points from 5.0% to 5.75% in a
phased manner effective February 2010. On March 19, 2010, the RBI increased the repo and reverse repo
rates by 25 basis points with immediate effect. In the annual policy review in April 2010, the RBI
announced a 25 basis point increase in the CRR to 6.0%. The RBI, in its credit policy announcement on
September 16, 2010, hiked repo by 25 basis points and the reverse repo by 50 basis points. The repo now
stands at 6.50% while reverse repo stands at 5.5o% after a further hikes by RBI.

Regulatory or legislative changes as a result of litigation involving the RBI and other Government bodies
with respect to derivatives could affect the Bank‘s derivative business, as the Bank may be unable to
continue to enter into certain types of income earning transactions or may incur increased administrative
costs.

Future changes in the stance of the RBI could have an adverse impact on the Bank‘s capital adequacy and
profitability. Any change by the RBI to the directed lending norms may result in the Bank being unable to
meet the Priority Sector lending requirements, as well as requiring the Bank to increase its lending to
relatively riskier segments which could result in an increase in NPAs in the Bank‘s directed lending
portfolio. Consequently, the Bank‘s levels of yield-generating assets may be reduced or the Bank may be

17
forced to recognize accounting losses, which could materially adversely affect its recognized profits,
financial condition and results of operations.

24. The Bank is required to maintain its capital adequacy ratio at the minimum level required by the RBI
for domestic banks. There can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to access capital as and when
it needs it for growth.

The RBI requires Indian banks to maintain a minimum Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 6.0% and a
minimum risk weighted capital adequacy ratio of 9.0%. As per Basel II norms, the Bank‘s standalone Tier
I and total capital adequacy ratios were 9.45% and 13.39%, respectively, while the Group‘s consolidated
Tier I and total capital adequacy ratios were 9.28% and 13.49%, respectively, as of March 31, 2010. The
Bank is exposed to the risk of the RBI increasing the applicable risk weight for different asset classes from
time to time. The Bank‘s current capitalization levels are in line with these requirements. However, unless
the Bank is able to access the necessary amount of additional capital, any incremental increase in the
capital requirement may adversely impact the Bank‘s ability to grow its business and may even require the
Bank to withdraw from or to curtail some of its current business operations. There can also be no
assurance that the Bank will be able to raise adequate additional capital in the future at all or on terms
favorable to it. Moreover, if the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision releases additional or more
stringent guidance on capital adequacy norms which are given the effect of law in India in the future, the
Bank may be forced to raise or maintain additional capital in a manner which could materially adversely
affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

25. As the Bank’s majority shareholder, the Government controls the Bank and may cause the Bank to
take actions which are not in the interests of the Bank or of the holders of the Bonds.

In accordance with the Act, the Government, in consultation with the RBI, has the power to appoint and/or
nominate the Chairman, two Managing Directors and a majority of the directors of the Bank‘s Central
Board, which determines the outcome of the actions relating to the general direction of the affairs of the
Bank, including payment of dividends. Furthermore, under the Act, the Government, after consultation
with the RBI and the Chairman of the Bank, may issue directives on matters of policy involving the public
interest that may affect the conduct of the business affairs of the Bank. Further, under the Act, the Bank is
required to obtain approval from the Government for any increase in its authorized share capital. Further
amendments to the Act has also enabled the Bank to issue preference shares. There can be no assurance
that the Act will not be repealed or significantly amended in the future. In addition, there can be no
assurance that the RBI or the Government will not take action or implement policies that are adverse to
investors in the Bonds.

26. The legal requirement that the Government maintain a majority shareholding interest in the Bank of at
least 51% may limit the ability of the Bank to raise appropriate levels of capital financing.

The Act, pursuant to the State Bank of India (Amendment) Act, 2010, restricts the Government‘s
shareholding interests in the Bank from falling below 51.0%. This requirement could result in restrictions
in the equity capital raising efforts of the Bank as the Government may not be able to fund any further
investments that would allow it simultaneously to maintain its stake at a minimum of 51.0% and seek
funding from the capital markets. As the Indian economy grows, more businesses and individuals will
require capital financing. In order to meet and sustain increasing levels of growth in capital demand, the
Bank will need to accrete its capital base, whether through organic growth or (more likely) capital market
financing schemes. If the Bank is unable to grow its capital base in step with demand, its business,
financial prospects and profitability may be materially and adversely affected.

27. If the Bank does not effectively manage its foreign operations, these operations may incur losses or
otherwise adversely affect the Bank’s business and results of operations.

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had a network of 142 international offices in 32 countries and intends to
further expand its international operations. As the Bank has such a large number of foreign branches,
foreign subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, it is subject to additional risks related to complying
with a wide variety of national and local laws, restrictions on the import and export of certain
intermediates, banking regulations, technologies and multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures. As
a result, successful foreign expansion requires substantial capital, and it will be costly for the Bank to fund

18
organic growth and to conduct acquisitions of foreign businesses. Acquisitions involve various risks that
are difficult for the Bank to control and the Bank cannot be certain that any acquired or new businesses
will perform as anticipated.

In addition, the Bank faces competition from banks in other countries that may have more experience and
resources in those countries or in international operations generally. With the exception of certain
countries, such as the Maldives, the Bank remains a small to mid-size operator in the international markets
and many of its competitors have much greater resources.

The Bank may also face difficulties integrating new facilities in different countries into its existing
operations, as well as integrating employees that the Bank hires in different countries into its existing
corporate culture or complying with unfamiliar laws and regulations. If the Bank does not effectively
manage its foreign operations and expansion, it may lose money in these countries, which could adversely
affect the Bank‘s business and results of operations.

28. The Bank may not be successful in implementing its growth strategies or penetrating new markets.

One of the Bank‘s principal business strategies is to expand into new businesses and financial services
product offerings. To this end, the Bank has launched initiatives in general insurance, private equity funds
and cash management services, among other businesses, in recent years. This strategy exposes the Bank to
a number of risks and challenges including, among others, the following:

growth will require greater marketing and compliance costs than experienced in the past,
diverting operational, financial and managerial resources away from the existing businesses of
the Bank;

growth plans may not develop and materialize as the Bank anticipates and there can be no
assurances that new product lines or businesses will become profitable;

the Bank may fail to identify appropriate opportunities and offer attractive new products in a
timely fashion putting its businesses at a disadvantage as compared to its competitors;

compliance with new market standards and unfamiliar regulations will place new demands upon
management and create new and possibly unforeseen risks to the Bank;

the Bank will need to hire or retrain skilled personnel who are able to supervise and conduct the
relevant new business activities, adding to the Bank‘s cost base; and

competitors in the different business segments that the Bank operates in may have more
experience and resources than the Bank which may affect its ability to compete.

In addition, the Bank‘s growth strategy in the future may involve strategic acquisitions and
reconstructions, partnerships, joint ventures and exploration of mutual interests with other parties. These
acquisitions and investments may not necessarily contribute to business growth and the Bank‘s
profitability or may be unsuccessful. In addition, the Bank could experience difficulty in assimilating
personnel, integrating operations and cultures and may not realize the anticipated synergies or efficiencies
from such transactions. These difficulties could disrupt the Bank‘s ongoing business, distract its
management and employees and increase its expenses.

29. If the Bank is not able to integrate any future acquisitions, the Bank’s business could be disrupted.

The Bank may seek opportunities for growth through acquisitions or be required to undertake mergers
mandated by RBI. Any future acquisitions or mergers may involve a number of risks, including
deterioration of asset quality, diversion of its management‘s attention required to integrate the acquired
business and failure to retain key acquired personnel and clients, leverage synergies, rationalise
operations, or develop the skills required for new businesses and markets, or unknown and known
liabilities, some or all of which could have an adverse effect on its business.

19
30. The Bank’s business growth, both in terms of its new businesses and financial services, may add
complexities to its current operations, which, if not managed properly, may result in operational
volatility whether within or across its branches and business units.

The Bank‘s expansion into new businesses and financial services product offerings will require proper
oversight and management. The new businesses will need to be set up and run profitably and the
formation of new strategic business units will need to be streamlined into the Bank‘s existing operations.
These new businesses and business units will be formed across India, as well as internationally.
Integrating the operations, not only domestically throughout India, but also throughout the international
offices, will increase the need for high level management. In addition, not only are the financial prospects
of the new businesses uncertain, but they may also shift the financial and managerial resources away from
other areas of its operations. In such a case, the Bank‘s other operations may suffer and the Bank‘s
performance as a whole may also decline. If the Bank is unable to manage this growth process properly,
its business prospects, financial position and profitability may be materially adversely affected.

31. The proposed merger of the Associate Banks with the Bank may engender opposition against the Bank
and lead to business disruptions, such as labour strikes, and adversely affect the Bank’s operations.

The Bank is considering the merger of certain of its Associate Banks into the Bank, but has faced and may
continue to face opposition to such consolidation by employees of the Bank or the Associate Banks. In
2008, the merger of one such Associate Bank, the State Bank of Saurashtra, into the Bank was effected by
a Government order and notification dated August 13, 2008. Although a settlement was signed with the
All India State Bank Staff Federation, which represents non-officer employees, the All India State Bank
Officers‘ Federation opposed the merger and observed a one-day strike on August 13, 2008, which
affected the functioning of branches for one day. At the time, the union also threatened to intensify its
opposition and impose a lengthier strike. In recent years, other one- to two-day strikes have taken place
from time to time manifesting protests related to the proposed mergers, as well as other issues such as
wages and employment levels. Although none of these strikes materially impacted the Bank‘s or the
Associate Banks‘ operations, future union and popular opposition to any merger of Associate Banks into
the Bank may harm the Bank‘s reputation and disrupt business operations and the delivery of banking
services to customers.

In 2010, the merger of another such Associate Bank, the State Bank of Indore, into the Bank was effected
by a Government order and notification dated July 28, 2010 effective from August 26, 2010.

32. If the Bank is unable to adapt to rapid technological changes, its business could suffer.

The Bank‘s future success will depend in part on its ability to respond to technological advances and to
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 the Bank will successfully implement new technologies effectively or adapt its transaction
processing systems to meet customer requirements or emerging industry standards. If the Bank is unable,
for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions,
customer requirements or technological changes, its business, the future financial performance of the Bank
and the trading price of the Bonds could be materially affected.

33. The Bank implements new information technology systems as it expands and may experience
implementation technical difficulties.

The Bank implemented and continues to implement new information technology systems to facilitate and
complement its growth. As additional IT platforms are introduced and become integral to the Bank‘s
product offering, unforeseen technical difficulties may cause disruption in the Bank‘s operations. These
disruptions may affect customer services, internal operations and data management. As the Bank‘s risk
management systems evolve and as its operations become more reliant upon technology to manage and
monitor its risk, any failure or disruption could materially and adversely affect its operations and financial
position.

34. The Bank depends on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and
counterparties.

20
In deciding whether to extend credit or to enter into other transactions with customers and counterparties,
the Bank may rely on information furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of customers and counterparties,
including financial statements and other financial information. The Bank may also rely on 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, the
Bank 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 Bank‘s 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 with other information that is materially misleading.

35. The Bank may not be able to properly manage and gradually reduce its number of employees, which
would negatively impact its business.

As of June 2010, the Bank employed a total of 200,490 employees. To expand and to replace retired
employees, the Bank plans to recruit additional employees during the current Fiscal Year. There can be no
assurances, however, that the Bank will be able to continue the implementation of its plan to increase its
number of employees successfully in the future to the targeted levels. If the Bank is not successful in
recruiting sufficient numbers to execute its strategies, or training and maintaining its standards across a
large employee population, or retaining its growing population of employees, this may have a material
adverse effect on the future financial performance of the Bank.

36. Any inability to attract and retain talented professionals may negatively affect the Bank.

The Bank employs some officers on a contract basis for various purposes. The salaries offered are market
competitive. However, the number of officers on market competitive salaries is minimal. An inability to
attract and retain such talented professionals or the resignation or loss of key management personnel,
especially in light of its continued expansion, may have an adverse impact on the Bank‘s business, future
financial performance and trading price of the Bonds.

37. The Bank’s remuneration scheme may not be as attractive as other banks with which it competes and
may hurt the Bank’s ability to attract and maintain a skilled and committed workforce.

The Bank‘s employee remuneration scheme is guided by industry level negotiations between bank
management represented by the Indian Bank‘s Association, and bank workers represented by their
respective associations. All negotiations are subject to final approval by the Government, which limits the
Bank‘s flexibility in implementing performance linked pay. The permanent employees constitute
approximately 97% of the total staff. Although their remuneration packages may not be comparable with
those offered by Private Sector Banks, the Bank believes that other benefits allow it to effectively compete
for qualified employees. The attrition rate has been less than 0.5% among permanent staff, excluding the
outflow due to retirement upon attaining superannuation. The Bank has also been employing officers on a
contract and on cost to company basis offering market related salaries. The attrition rate in this category is
slightly higher than in permanent staff, but comparable with market levels for contract officers. If the
general banking industry increasingly moves toward incentive-based pay schemes, the Bank may not be as
competitive as other banks. This may increase the possibility that the Bank‘s skilled personnel may go
elsewhere for more attractive employment packages. Added employment pressures may result in
diminished profitability, especially if rates of return do not experience a commensurate rise.

38. The Bank’s employees are highly unionised and any union action may adversely affect the Bank’s
business.

Approximately 98% of the Bank‘s clerical and non-officer employees belong to a union, the All India
State Bank Staff Federation. A significant number of the Bank‘s officers belong to a separate union, the
All India State Bank Officers‘ Federation. While the Bank believes it has a strong working relationship
with its unions, there can be no assurance that the Bank will continue to have such a relationship in the
future. In recent years, one- to two-day strikes by the unions have taken place from time to time to protest
mergers of certain Associate Banks into the Bank, as well as other issues such as wages and employee
levels. If the staff or officers‘ union was to call for a work stoppage or other similar action, the Bank may

21
be forced to suspend all or part of its operations until the dispute is resolved. If such a work stoppage was
to occur, the Bank‘s business could be adversely affected.

39. The Bank is involved in various litigation matters. Any final judgment awarding material damages
against the Bank could have a material adverse impact on its future financial performance,
stockholders’ equity and the price of the Bonds.

The Bank and its subsidiaries and associates, or their directors or officers, are often involved in litigation
matters (including civil or criminal) for a variety of reasons, which generally arise because the Bank seeks
to recover from borrowers or because customers seek claims against it. The majority of these cases arise in
the normal course of business. Although it is the Bank‘s policy to make provisions for probable loss, the
Bank does not make provisions or disclosures in its financial statements where its assessment is that the
risk is insignificant. The Bank cannot guarantee that the judgments in any of the litigation in which the
Bank is involved would be favorable to it and if its assessment of the risk changes, its view on provisions
will also change. Increased provisioning for such potential losses could have a material adverse effect on
the Bank‘s results of operations and financial condition. If the Bank‘s provisioning is inadequate relative
to actual losses on final judgment, such additional losses could have an adverse impact on the Bank‘s
business.

40. The Bank has contingent liabilities.

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had contingent liabilities of approximately Rs. 5,484.5 billion on account
of guarantees covering its customers, letters of credit, underwriting commitments, liabilities for partly paid
commitments, claims against the Bank not acknowledged as debt, and disputed tax and legal claims,
compared to contingent liabilities of Rs. 7,236.9 billion in the year ended March 31, 2009. In the year
ended March 31, 2010, the Bank saw a significant decline in its contingent liabilities on account of a
decline in forward exchange contracts and other items for which the Bank is contingently liable. If the
Bank‘s contingent liabilities are realized, this may have an adverse effect on the Bank‘s future financial
performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

41. Increased volatility or inflation of commodity prices in India could adversely affect the Bank’s
business.

In recent months, consumer and wholesale prices in India have exhibited marked inflationary trends, with
particular increases in the prices of food, metals and crude oil. Inflation measured by the Wholesale Price
Index increased from 1.31% at March 31, 2009 to 11.04% at March 31, 2010. Any increased volatility or
rate of inflation of global commodity prices, in particular oil and steel prices, could adversely affect the
Bank‘s borrowers and contractual counterparties. Although the RBI has enacted certain policy measures
designed to curb inflation, these policies may not be successful. Because of the importance of its retail
banking portfolio and the importance of its agricultural loan portfolio to its business, any slowdown in the
growth of the housing, automobile and agricultural sectors could adversely impact the Bank‘s business,
financial condition and results of operations.

42. A significant increase in the price of crude oil could adversely affect the Indian economy and the
Bank’s business.

India imports approximately 70.0% of its requirements of crude oil, which comprised approximately
30.6% of total imports in Fiscal Year 2010; accordingly, a significant increase from current levels in the
price of crude oil could adversely affect the Indian economy. Since 2004, there have been several periods
of sharp increase in global crude oil prices due to both increased demand and speculation and pressure on
production and refinery capacity, and political and military tensions in key oil-producing regions, among
other factors. A sharp increase in global crude oil prices during calendar year 2008 caused the Indian
Wholesale Price Index to peak at 12.8% in August 2008. In June 2010, the Government eliminated
subsidies on petroleum products, which will significantly increase the price of gasoline, diesel and
kerosene. Any further increase or volatility of oil prices suffered by consumers could have a material
adverse impact on the economy and on the banking and financial system in particular, including through a
rise in inflation and market interest rates and a higher trade deficit.

43. A significant change in the Government’s policies could adversely affect the Bank’s business and the

22
trading price of the Bonds.
The Bank‘s assets and customers are predominantly located in India. The Government has traditionally
exercised and continues to exercise a dominant influence over many aspects of the economy. The
Government‘s economic policies have had and could continue to have a significant effect on public sector
entities, including the Bank, and on market conditions and prices of Indian securities, including securities
issued by the Bank.

The most recent parliamentary elections were completed in May 2009, which the Indian National
Congress Party won with Dr. Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister of India. Although there has been no
significant change in the Government‘s policies since May 2009, current macroeconomic conditions could
lead to certain policy and administrative steps which in turn could result in a wider fiscal deficit and,
consequently, a downgrade in sovereign ratings, which would adversely affect exchange rates and interest
rates. Any significant change in the Government‘s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could
adversely affect business and economic conditions in India and could also adversely affect the Bank‘s
business, its future financial performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

44. Financial instability in India, other countries where the Bank has established operations, or
globally could adversely affect the Bank’s business and the trading price of the Bonds.
The Indian economy is influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries,
particularly emerging market countries in Asia. The Bank has also established operations in several other
countries, including in the United States and certain European countries. A loss of investor confidence in
the financial systems of other emerging markets and countries where the Bank has established operations
or any worldwide financial instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and,
directly or indirectly, adversely affect the Indian economy and financial sector and its business.

The global credit and equity markets have recently experienced substantial dislocations, liquidity
disruptions and market corrections. The dislocation of the sub-prime mortgage loan market in the United
States since September 2008 led to increased liquidity and credit concerns and volatility in the global
credit and financial markets in Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. In recent months, the European sovereign debt
crisis has led to renewed concerns of global financial stability and increased volatility in debt and equity
markets. These and other related events have had a significant impact on the global credit and financial
markets as a whole, including reduced liquidity, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads and a lack of
price transparency in the United States and global credit and financial markets.

In response to such developments, legislators and financial regulators in the United States and other
jurisdictions, including India, implemented a number of policy measures designed to add stability
to the financial markets. However, the overall long-term impact of these and other legislative and
regulatory efforts on the global financial markets is uncertain, and they may not have had the
intended stabilizing effects. Any significant financial disruption in the future could have an adverse
effect on the Bank‘s cost of funding, loan portfolio, business, future financial performance and the
trading price of the Bonds. Adverse economic developments overseas in countries where the Bank has
operations could have a material adverse impact on the Bank and the trading price of the Bonds.

45. Natural calamities could adversely affect the Indian economy, the Bank’s business and the price of the
Bonds.

India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods and drought in recent years. The
extent and severity of these natural disasters determine their impact on the Indian economy. For example,
in fiscal year 2003, many parts of India received significantly less than normal rainfall. As a result of the
drought conditions during fiscal year 2003, the agricultural sector recorded a negative growth of 7.0%.
Also, the erratic progress of the monsoon season in fiscal year 2005 adversely affected sowing operations
for certain crops and resulted in a decline in the growth rate of the agricultural sector from 10.0% in fiscal
year 2004 to negligible growth in fiscal year 2005. The agricultural sector grew by 5.9% in fiscal year
2006, 3.8% in fiscal year 2007 and 4.9% in fiscal year 2008. In fiscal years 2009 and 2010, the
agricultural sector was affected by one of the worst drought spells in the last 40 years, and grew by an
estimated 1.6% and 0.2%, respectively. Further prolonged spells of below or above normal rainfall or
other natural calamities could adversely affect the Indian economy and the Bank‘s business, especially in
view of the Bank‘s sizeable exposure to agricultural borrowers.

23
46. If regional hostilities, terrorist attacks or social unrest in some parts of the country increase, the Bank’s
business and the trading price of the Bonds could be adversely affected.

India has from time to time experienced social and civil unrest and hostilities both internally and with
neighbouring countries. Present relations between India and Pakistan continue to be fragile on the issues
of terrorism, armament and Kashmir. In November 2008, several coordinated shooting and bombing
attacks occurred across Mumbai, India‘s financial capital, which resulted in the loss of life, property and
business. India has also experienced terrorist attacks in other parts of the country. These hostilities and
tensions could lead to political or economic instability in India and a possible adverse effect on the Bank‘s
business, its future financial performance and the trading price of the Bonds. Further, India has also
experienced social unrest in some parts of the country. If such tensions spread and lead to overall political
and economic instability in India, it may adversely affect the Bank‘s business, future financial
performance and the trading price of the Bonds.

47. Financial difficulties and other problems in certain financial institutions in India could adversely
affect the Bank’s business and the price of the Bonds.

The Bank is exposed to the risks inherent in the Indian financial system. These risks are driven by the
financial difficulties faced by certain Indian financial institutions, whose commercial soundness may
be closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing or other relationships amongst them. 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 the Bank interacts on a daily basis.
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 adversely affect the Bank‘s business and the
trading price of the Bonds. As the Indian financial system operates within an emerging market, the Bank
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.

48. An outbreak of avian or swine influenza or other contagious diseases may adversely affect the Indian
economy and the Bank’s business.

Since late 2003, a number of countries in Asia, including India, as well as countries in other parts of the
world, have had confirmed cases of the highly pathogenic H5N1 and H1N1 strains of influenza in birds
and swine. Certain countries in Southeast Asia have reported cases of bird to human transmission
of avian and swine influenza resulting in numerous human deaths. The World Health Organization and
other agencies have issued warnings on a potential avian or swine influenza pandemic if there is
sustained human to human transmission. Future outbreaks of avian or swine influenza or a similar
contagious disease could adversely affect the Indian economy and economic activity in the region. As a
result, any present or future outbreak of avian or swine influenza or other contagious diseases could have a
material adverse effect on the Bank‘s business.

49. The effects of the planned convergence with and adoption of IFRS are uncertain.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the accounting body that regulates the accounting
firms in India, has announced a road map for the adoption of, and convergence with IFRS. The Bank will
be required to prepare its annual and interim financial statements under IFRS commencing from the
fiscal period starting April 1, 2013. Because there is a significant lack of clarity on the adoption of and
convergence with IFRS and there is not yet a significant body of established practice on which to draw in
forming judgments regarding its implementation and application, the Bank has not determined with any
degree of certainty the impact that such adoption will have on its financial reporting. Further, the new
accounting standards will change its methodology for estimating allowances for probable loan losses.
New accounting standards may require it to value its non-performing loans by reference to their
market value (if a ready market for such loans exists), or to calculate the present value of the expected
future cash flows realizable from its loans, including the possible liquidation of collateral (discounted
at the loan‘s effective interest rate) in estimating allowances for probable losses. This may result in
the Bank recognizing higher allowances for probable loan losses in the future. Therefore, there can be
no assurance that the Bank‘s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or changes in

24
shareholders‘ equity will not appear materially worse under IFRS than under Indian GAAP. In the
Bank‘s transition to IFRS reporting, the Bank may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of
implementing and enhancing its 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 IFRS financial statements. There can be no assurance that the Bank‘s adoption
of IFRS will not adversely affect its reported results of operations or financial condition.

50. Non-comparfibility of numbers due to amalagamtion of State Bank of Indore

Consequent to the notification of the ―Acquisition of State Bank of Indore Order, 2010‖ issued by the
Govt, of India, the undertaking of State Bank of Indore stands transferred to and vests in the Bank, with
effect from August 26, 2010, the effective date. The results for the quarter and the nine month ended
December 31, 2010 include the results of operations of the erstwhile State Bank of Indore for the period
from August 26, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and the results of the Bank are not comparable to that extent.

51. This Shelf Prospectus includes unaudited unconsolidated limited review financial statements for the
half yearly ended September 30, 2010, which may not completely reflect the exact financial position of
the Bank.

The Bank being governed by the Act is required to prepare its financial statements only at the end of each
Fiscal Year. However, in compliance with stock exchange requirements and RBI disclosure norms, the
Bank submits its unaudited unconsolidated limited review quarterly financial results to the stock
exchanges (the ―Limited Review Financial Statements‖). These Limited Review Financial Statements for
the quarter and nine month ended December 31, 2010 have been included in this Shelf Prospectus. These,
being unaudited financial statements on an unconsolidated basis, may not completely reflect the exact
financial position of the Bank.

Risks Relating to India

1. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could adversely affect the
Bank’s business and its liquidity.

Because the Bank‘s foreign currency ratings are pegged to India‘s sovereign ceiling, any adverse revision
to India‘s credit rating for international debt will have a corresponding effect on the Bank‘s ratings. Any
adverse change in the Bank‘s ratings may limit its access to capital markets and decrease its liquidity.

2. The proposed new taxation system could adversely affect the Bank’s business and the price of the
Bonds.

In its Union Budget for Fiscal Year 2010, the Government proposed two major reforms in Indian tax laws,
namely the Goods and Services Tax and the Direct Taxes Code, which are proposed to be effective April
1, 2011 and April 1, 2012 respectively. The goods and services tax would replace the indirect taxes on
good and services such as central excise duty, service tax, customs duty, central sales tax, surcharge and
cess currently being collected by the central and state governments. The Direct Taxes Code was released
for public comments in August 2009. It aims to reduce distortions in tax structure, introduce moderate
levels of taxation and expand the tax base. It seems to consolidate and amend laws relating to all direct
taxes like income tax, dividend distribution tax, fringe benefit tax and wealth tax and facilitate voluntary
compliance.

Because the taxation system is going to be overhauled its long-term effects on the Bank and other banks
are unclear as of the date of this Shelf Prospectus and it could adversely affect the Bank‘s business, future
financial performance and the price of the Bonds.

3. If the Bank is unable to complete the Issue, it may be required to find alternative methods of increasing
its core Tier II capital ratio.

The purpose of the Issue of the Bonds is to allow the Bank to strengthen its capital position and to achieve
an increase in Tier II capital. If the Bank is unable to complete the Issue, it will need to assess its capital
position and may be required to find alternative methods for achieving requisite capital ratios. There can

25
be no assurance that any of these alternative methods would be successful in increasing the Bank‘s capital
ratios sufficiently or on the timetable currently envisaged. If the Bank is unable to increase its core Tier II
capital ratio sufficiently, its credit ratings may drop and its cost of funding may increase, thereby affecting
profitability.

Risks relating to investment in Bonds

1. The Bonds are not guaranteed by the Republic of India.

The Bonds are not the obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Government. Although the Government owns
59.40% of the Bank‘s issued and paid up share capital currently, the Government is not providing a
guarantee in respect of the Bonds. In addition, the Government is under no obligation to maintain the
solvency of the Bank. Therefore, investors should not rely on the Government ensuring that the Bank
fulfills its obligations under the Bonds.

2. There has been no prior public market for the Series of Bonds

Each Tranche Issue will be a new issue of a Series of Bonds and the relevant Series of Bonds may have no
established trading market. Although an application will be been made to list each Series of Bonds on the
NSE or BSE, there can be no assurance that an active public market for such Series of Bonds will develop,
and if such a market were to develop, there is no obligation on us to maintain such a market. The liquidity
and market prices of each Series of Bonds can be expected to vary with changes in market and economic
conditions, our financial condition and prospects and other factors that generally influence market price of
such Series of Bonds. Such fluctuations may significantly affect the liquidity and market price of each
Series of Bonds, which may trade at a discount to the price at which you purchase such Series of Bonds.
There may be market making facility for each Series of Bonds, in order to enhance the liquidity of such
Series of Bonds, provided by certain entities appointed by the Bank, however there is no assurance of such
a market making facility or that this facility would provide any liquidity for such Series of Bonds nor that
this would result in an active market developing for such Series of Bonds. Further, the market making
facility may only be for a limited period.

3. There is a risk of volatility in the price of theBonds.

The market price of the Bonds may be affected by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, general
market conditions, changes in sentiments regarding the Bank, variations in the Bank‘s operating results
compared with the expectations of market analysts and investors, its business developments or those of its
competitors, the operating performance of its competitors, speculation about the Bank‘s business in the
press, media or investment community and the publication of research reports by analysts, or regulatory
changes affecting the Bank‘s operations. The Bondholders should be aware that the value of the Bonds
could fluctuate and may not always reflect the underlying asset values or prospects of the relevant Bonds.

4. Payments made on the Bonds are subordinated to certain tax and other liabilities preferred by law.

The Bonds will be subordinated to certain liabilities preferred by law such as to claims of the Government
on account of taxes, and certain liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of the Bank‘s trading or banking
transactions. In particular, in the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up, the Bank‘s assets will be
available to pay obligations on the Bonds only after all of those liabilities that rank senior to these Bonds
have been paid. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up, there may not be sufficient assets
remaining, after paying amounts relating to these proceedings, to pay amounts due on the Bonds.

5. The Bonds are subordinated and have only limited rights of acceleration.

The Bonds are subordinated debt instruments of the Bank. Payments on Bonds will be subordinated in
right of payment upon the winding-up or liquidation of the Bank to the prior payment in full of all deposits
and other liabilities of the Bank, except those liabilities which rank equally with each of the Bonds. The
Bonds and any amounts of interest due thereon are unsecured obligations of the Bank and, in the event of
the winding up of the Bank, the claims of the holders of the Bonds and any relative interest pursuant
thereto will be subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all other creditors. As a consequence of
these subordination provisions, in the event of a winding-up of the Bank‘s operations, the holders of the

26
Bonds may recover proportionately less than the holders of the Bank‘s deposit liabilities or the holders of
its other unsubordinated liabilities. As of March 31, 2010, all of the Bank‘s outstanding liabilities
(including deposits, borrowings, call money, guarantees and acceptances and other liabilities, but
excluding provisions), rank senior to the Bonds.

Only those events described in the section ―Terms of the Tranche Issue – Default, Events of Default‖ as
will be specified in the relevant Tranche Prospectus, regarding the Bank‘s winding-up or liquidation, will
permit a holder of the Bonds to accelerate payment of such Bonds. The Bank may be wound up only by
order of the Central Government. Accordingly, in those events described in the section ―Terms of the
Tranche Issue – Default, Events of Default‖, the only action the holder may take in India against the Bank
is certain actions to cause, or make a claim in, the Bank‘s liquidation or reorganisation. Furthermore, if the
Bank‘s indebtedness were to be accelerated, its assets may be insufficient to repay in full borrowings
under all such debt instruments, including the Bonds.

For the avoidance of doubt, the claims of the holders of the Bonds shall be senior to the claims of holder
of instruments that constitute the upper Tier II capital and Tier I capital.

6. The Bonds may not qualify as Tier II capital.

There is no guarantee that the Bonds qualify as Tier II capital under the Capital Adequacy Guidelines
published by the RBI. The failure of the Bonds to qualify as Tier II capital due to any reason (including
changes in law, regulations or interpretations of the RBI or other government authorities) would adversely
affect the Bank‘s capital adequacy ratio.

7. The Bank may pre-pay a particular Series of Bonds by exercising a call option after at least five years
and subject to RBI approval

The Bank may, subject to the approval of RBI, pre-pay the payments under a particular Series of Bonds
issued by the Bank. Such pre-payment can only take place at least after five years of issuance of a Series
of Bonds and is subject the approval of RBI. In the event the Bank decides to pre-pay the payments due on
the Series of Bonds before the Redemption Date, and receives an RBI approval for the same, then the
Series Bondholder may receive lesser payment on the redemption of the relevant Series of Bonds, than the
payment that he would have received, in case the Series of Bonds would have been redeemed on the
Redemption Date.

8. No Debenture Redemption Reserve (“DRR”) for the Bonds.

The Department of Company Affairs General Circular No.9/2002 No.6/3/2001-CL.V dated April 18, 2002
specifies that ―no DRR is required for debentures issued by All India Financial Institutions (―AIFIs‖)
regulated by RBI and banking companies for both public as well as privately placed debentures‖.
Therefore the Bank will not be maintaining debenture redemption reserve in respect of the Bonds issued
and the Bondholders may find it difficult to enforce their interests in the event of or to the extent of a
default.

9. The Bank is not prohibited from issuing further debt which ranks above the Bonds

There is no restriction on the amount of debt securities that the Bank may issue that ranks above the
Bonds. The issue of any such debt securities may reduce the amount recoverable by investors in the Bonds
upon the Bank‘s bankruptcy, winding-up or liquidation. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had Rs.
9564104.919 millions of indebtedness outstanding that ranks above the Bonds.

10. Any downgrading in credit rating of the Bonds may affect the value of Bonds and thus our ability to
raise further debts.

This Bonds have been rated by CARE as having a rating ―CARE AAA‖ and by CRISIL as having a rating
―AAA/ Stable‖. The Bank cannot guarantee that this rating will not be downgraded. Such a downgrade in
the credit rating may lower the value of the Bonds and may also affect the Banks ability to raise further
debt.

RECENT FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS

Limited Review Report on the Unaudited Financial Results for the period ended 31st December, 2010.

To,
The Board of Directors,
State Bank of India,
State Bank Bhavan,
Madam Cama Road,
Mumbai - 400 021

Dear Sirs,

Re: Proposed public issue by the State Bank of India (“Bank” or “Issuer”) of Lower Tier II bonds (the
“Bonds”) not exceeding an aggregate amount of Rs. 100,000 million (the “Shelf Limit”) by way of issuance of
Bonds in one or more tranches (each a “Tranche Issue” and together all Tranche Issues up to the Shelf
Limit, the “Issue”).

1. We have examined the attached unconsolidated unaudited financial results for the nine months ended
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 of State Bank of India (the ―Bank‖), which is proposed to be
included in the Shelf Prospectus of the Bank in connection with the proposed issue of the Lower Tier II Bonds
(the ―Bonds‖) aggregating to Rs. 100,000 million in one or more tranches.

2. The Unconsolidated Interim Results were subjected to limited review and reported upon by the auditors of the
Bank in accordance with Auditing and Assurance Standard 33 (AAS33) / Standard on Review Engagement
(SRE) 2410, ―Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity‖
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, except for the disclosures regarding ‗Public
shareholding‘ and ‗Promoter and Promoter Group Shareholding‘ which have been traced from disclosures
made by the management and have not been audited. The financial results are the responsibility of the Bank‘s
Management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The auditor‘s responsibility is to issue a
report on these financial statements based on their review.

3. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently
does not enable the auditors to obtain assurance that they would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the auditors do not express an audit opinion. The limited review
for the respective periods has been carried out by the auditors as mentioned herein below:

4. The financial results incorporate the relevant returns of 42 (2009 – 42) branches reviewed by the Statutory
Auditors, 79 (2009 – 65) branches reviewed by other Chartered Accountants as Concurrent Auditors of the
Bank {including 21 (2009 – 26) Foreign Offices reviewed by local auditors specially appointed for this
purpose}, 410 (2009 – 328) branches reviewed by Bank's own officials acting as Concurrent Auditors, the
returns of 266 (2009 – 293) branches certified by Branch Managers as per instructions of the Bank's
Management and un-reviewed returns in respect of 13070 (2009 – 11834) branches. In the conduct of our

40
review, in addition to 42 (2009 – 42) branches reviewed by the Statutory Auditors, reliance has been placed on
the review reports received from the Bank's Concurrent Auditors, local auditors of Foreign Offices and Branch
Managers of domestic branches, aggregating to 755 (2009 – 728) branches / offices. Apart from these review
reports, in the conduct of such review, reliance has also been placed upon various returns received from the
branches of the Bank. These review reports, including those of 266 (2009 – 293) branches' returns certified by
Branch Managers as per instructions of the Bank's Management, cover 61.33% (2009 – 56.29%) of the
advances portfolio excluding outstanding of asset recovery branches and food credit advance of the Bank.
Further, this review also covers 65.46% (2009 – 57.36%) of Non Performing Advances (NPAs) as on
December 31, 2010, including those certified at 266 (2009 – 293) branches by the Branch Managers as per
instructions of the Bank's Management.

5. The attached unconsolidated unaudited financial results have been extracted from the unconsolidated financial
results of the Bank as reviewed by above mentioned auditors for the respective years and based on our
examination of these results and the reports of the above mentioned auditors, we state that subject to limitation
in scope as mentioned in para 4, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
accompanying statement of unaudited financial results prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards and other recognised accounting practices and policies contains any material misstatement or that it
has not been prepared in accordance with the relevant prudential norms issued by the Reserve Bank of India in
respect of income recognition, asset classification, provisioning and other related matters.

Notes:
1. The working results for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December 2010 have been arrived at after
considering necessary provisions for NPAs, Standard Assets, Standard Derivative Exposures, Provision
Coverage Ratio and Investment Depreciation on the basis of prudential norms issued by RBI and other
provisions made on an estimated basis for Employee Benefits, Bonus, Income Tax (after adjustment for deferred
tax), Wealth Tax and for other items/assets.

2. Consequent to the notification of the ―Acquisition of State Bank of Indore Order, 2010‖ issued by the Govt, of
India, the undertaking of State Bank of Indore stands transferred to and vests in State Bank of India (―the
Bank‖), with effect from 26th August 2010, the effective date. The results for the quarter and nine months ended
31st December 2010 include the results of operations of the erstwhile State Bank of Indore for the period from
26th August 2010 and the results of the Bank are not comparable to that extent.

3. Subsequent to the disbursement of arrears of wages finalized in accordance with the ninth Bipartite Settlement,
an amount of Rs.986.66 crores for the nine months ended 31st December 2010 (including Rs. (38.51) crores for
the quarter) being excess provision for wage revision have been written back to the Profit & Loss account.

4. Provision for employee benefits including pension, gratuity, compensated absences, etc. has been made
(considering the wage revision except for pension) on the basis of an independent external actuarial valuation
carried out as at 31st December 2010. The gratuity liability has been ascertained considering the wage revision
and the increase in limit of the ceiling under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The incremental gratuity
liability for the nine months ended 31st December 2010 is Rs. 1,540.00 crores (including Rs. 140.00 crores for
the quarter). The pension liability has been estimated without considering the ninth bipartite settlement as the
final approval from Government for revision in pension on the basis of the revised salaries is awaited.

5. The Bank has made technical write-offs during the quarter whereby advances aggregating Rs. 1084.53 crores
have been written off against existing provisions. Also, the balances in INCA and URIPY aggregating Rs.
1618.02 crores have been reversed to the individual borrower accounts as stipulated by Reserve bank of India.
Consequently, the advances and provisions as at 31st December, 201.0 are lower by Rs. 2702.55 crores,
improving the Gross NPA Ratio.

6. Provision Coverage Ratio as on December 31, 2010 works out to 64.07% in accordance with the quarter wise
targets permitted by RBI, with the target of achieving 70% by September 201 I, As per RBI guidelines, the Bank
has made a prudential provision of Rs. 1780.00 crores for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 to meet the
Provision Coverage Ratio stipulated by RBI.

SBI DFHI Ltd. - Rs. 37.64 crores
State Bank of Mysore (rights issue) - Rs. 538.49 crores
SBI Payrnent Services Pvt. Ltd. - Rs. 2.00 crores.

History

The origins of the State Bank of India date back to the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta (later renamed the
Bank of Bengal) in 1806. The Bank of Bombay was created in 1840 and the Bank of Madras in 1843. These three
banks catered mainly to the needs of the mercantile community and pioneered modern banking in India. In 1876,
the Government transferred its shareholding in the three banks to private shareholders. However, the Government
retained controlling powers over the banks‘ functioning and constitution. In 1921, the three banks were merged by
an Act of the legislature to form the Imperial Bank of India. On July 1, 1955, the Imperial Bank of India was
nationalized and the Bank was constituted under the Act with the RBI holding 92% of its share capital.

The Bank‘s original mandate was to spread banking facilities on a large scale and make credit more readily
available in India, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. In compliance with its mandate, it expanded its network
of 480 offices by opening over 400 new branches within five years, and continued the rapid expansion. Over the
subsequent decades, the Bank has become India‘s largest bank, with 12,567 branches in India, 150 international
offices in 32 countries and more than 155 million customer accounts as of June 30, 2010. Today, the Bank
competes in all major banking sectors while still fulfilling its original mandate.

In accordance with Government directives, the Bank introduced liberalized lending facilities to small-scale
industries, small businesses and the agricultural sector, which later evolved into the RBI‘s priority sector lending
program applicable to all banks in India.

Under the Act, the Government or government agencies are required to maintain majority ownership of the Bank.
In Fiscal Year 1994, in compliance with regulatory reforms, the Bank completed a public offering. The Government
currently owns 59.40% of the Bank‘s share capital, the rest being held by institutions (including foreign
institutions) and individual investors.

Competitive Strengths

The following core competitive strengths have historically contributed to the Bank‘s success and record of growth
and will continue to do so in the future:

Relationship with the Government, state governments and state-owned enterprises

The Bank is 59.40%-owned by the Government and believes its strong relationships with both the Government and
state governments are key factors driving asset growth and providing a stable source of business. The Government
generates significant business activity in the economy. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Government‘s
business turnover was Rs. 20,654.3 billion. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Bank earned commissions from
Government transactions of Rs. 15.2 billion, or 17.2% of the Bank‘s other income, and handled 58.8% of the
Government‘s aggregate payments and receipts as well as 65.1% of state governments‘ payments and receipts.

In many instances, the Bank acts as the sole agent for certain Government transactions. The Bank acts as the RBI‘s
agent for certain banking businesses of the Government and state governments. The Bank also handles payment
functions of the Government through its branches, including salary and pension payments and expenditure
payments of various ministries. The Bank believes that this relationship with the Government is instrumental in
attracting new customers.

In addition, the Bank handles a significant portion of the banking requirements for India‘s public sector enterprises
(―PSEs‖), including administering payments and loans to employees and offering life insurance and pension plans.

49
As of March 31, 2010, 7.7% of the Bank‘s loan portfolio consisted of loans to PSEs. The Bank believes that, as the
Indian economy and financial markets continue to grow, the demand for the Bank‘s services from the Government,
state governments and PSEs will also increase.

The Bank is one of a select few banks in India with a mandate from the PFRDA to hold pension funds for the
benefit of Government employees.

Well known brand with the largest branch and ATM network in India and extensive portfolio of products and
services

With more than 50 years of operations in India, the Bank believes that it has the country‘s best known banking
brand. The Bank is India‘s largest bank, with 12,567 branches in India, 150 international offices in 32 countries and
more than 155 million customer accounts as of June 30, 2010. The Bank also has the largest ATM network in India
with 16,584 ATMs as of June 30, 2010. The Bank also had deposits, advances and a total assets base of Rs. 8,041.2
billion, Rs. 6,319.1 billion and Rs. 10,534.1 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2010, the largest by each
measure among banking institutions in India. As a result of its unparalleled position in India, the Bank has a leading
market position in several of its business segments, including deposits and advances, foreign exchange trading, loan
funding (education loans, home loans and auto-loans), credit cards and payment services. The Bank believes it is
India‘s largest provider of education loans, home loans and car loans.

The Bank‘s extensive branch and ATM network allows it to provide banking services to a large and growing
customer base, including large corporations, institutions and state-owned enterprises, as well as commercial,
agricultural, industrial and retail customers throughout India. The assets of the Bank are diversified across business
segments, industries and groups, which gives the Bank stability. Moreover, the Bank offers a full range of banking
products and services including short-term and long-term deposits, secured and unsecured loans, internet banking,
mobile banking, credit cards, life insurance, merchant banking, agricultural and micro-finance banking products and
project finance loans. As a result of its extensive network and product offerings, the Bank is able to meet the full
range of its customers‘ banking needs throughout India. In addition, the Bank‘s comprehensive product and service
offerings provide the Bank with numerous opportunities for cross-selling, allowing it to further grow all
areas of its business. Finally, the Bank is increasing its emphasis on a relationship management model in order to
provide more tailored products and services, especially for its key corporate and mid-corporate customers.

The Bank continues to enhance its brand by making significant investments in the products and services it offers to
its customers in and outside of India. For example, the Bank has undertaken an initiative called Business Process
Re-engineering (―BPR‖) to transform its operating architecture with an aim to enhance the sales and service at its
branches. The Bank believes its BPR initiatives have redefined its ability to acquire new customers, build stronger
relationships with existing customers and provide customers with the highest quality of service across multiple
delivery channels in the shortest time possible. Some BPR initiatives include the creation of product/customer-
focused sales forces to aggressively promote the Bank‘s products so as to increase market penetration, strengthen
low-cost alternative channels to improve customer service and redesign all key processes in important areas, such as
retail, corporate and international banking.

Strong deposit base providing stable and low-cost funding

The Bank believes that its large distribution network has enabled it to provide convenient services to a
broad customer base across India. The Bank has the largest deposit base among all commercial banks in India,
amounting to Rs. 8,041.2 billion as of March 31, 2010, representing a market share of 16.3% of aggregate deposits
among all RBI-scheduled commercial banks, according to RBI data. The Bank also has a large and growing
percentage of relatively low-cost current and savings account deposits within its deposit mix, with the ratio of
current and savings account deposits to its total deposits standing at 46.7% as of March 31, 2010 compared to
39.3% as of March 31, 2009, an increase of 740 basis points. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the
Bank‘s average cost of deposits was 5.8%, a decrease of 50 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of Fiscal
Year 2009.

50
Continuously enhanced risk management and internal control functions

The Bank continuously strengthens its risk management and internal control capabilities by improving its policies
and procedures and introducing advanced risk management tools. The Bank has adopted an independent risk
management system, which addresses the risks faced in all of its banking activities. The independent risk
management system seeks to identify and manage risks at the Bank‘s business group level, using technology to
allow each business group to manage its risks effectively and within the Bank‘s policies. The Bank has maintained
adequate capital reserves in accordance with Basel II and has implemented new credit risk assessment models,
independent validation of internal ratings and plans for increased use of IT to improve the quality of loan data. The
Bank also conducts regular stress tests which are forward looking economic assessments of the Bank‘s financial
health based on a number of economic scenarios and will take remedial measures, if necessary, depending on the
outcome of the tests.

Strong financial performance and capital position

The Bank has been able to maintain strong financial performance, as reflected in its performance ratios, such as a
net interest margin of 2.66% for the year ended March 31, 2010. The Bank‘s quarterly net interest margin has
demonstrated steady growth since the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2010. The Bank‘s recent financial strength has
also come in its ability to diversify its revenue streams from its non-banking businesses. The Bank‘s non-
interest income, including income from fees and commissions, has risen as a proportion of total income,
over the last three Fiscal Years.

In addition, the Bank‘s capital position, as measured by its overall and Tier I capital adequacy ratios of 13.39% and
9.45%, respectively, as of March 31, 2010 (which are higher than mandatory levels), allows the Bank to take
advantage of significant growth opportunities in the market.

Experienced management team

The Bank has an experienced management team staffed with a significant concentration of career banking
professionals. The Bank‘s central management committee members have on average more than 25 years of banking
and financial experience. The rest of the senior management team has strengths in key areas, including retail,
corporate and international banking. The management team‘s extensive and diverse expertise provides the Bank
with a broad perspective from which it can make strategic management and operational decisions. In addition, the
Bank has several dedicated positions in departments such as Global Markets, Rural Business and Corporate
Strategy and New Businesses. The Bank believes that its management team has created a clear, strategic direction
for the Bank which will allow it to expand and maintain its position as the leading bank in India.

Strategy

The Bank‘s strategy is to enhance its position as the largest and leading provider of banking and other financial
services in India, while remaining focused on its profitability. The Bank plans to execute this strategy in the
following ways:

Continue expansion of the Bank’s distribution network and banking products

The Bank intends to increase revenues generated from its banking business by expanding its distribution network,
growing its customer base and diversifying its banking product mix. The Bank intends to use its strong financial
position to take advantage of increasing growth opportunities within and outside of India, recruiting new
employees, opening new branches and establishing new ATMs. The Bank plans to increase its efforts to cross-sell a
wide variety of banking products across its business groups and through numerous distribution channels while also
expanding its banking product offerings. The Bank is also pursuing strategic relationships with corporate entities
and government departments to provide financing products to their employees and customers. In addition, the Bank
is expanding into the more rural areas of India where growth potential is significant. The Bank also intends to grow
its business through further overseas expansion, to meet the growing needs of Indian corporates operating overseas
and non-resident Indians living abroad.

51
Diversify revenue mix by increasing the Bank’s non-banking products and businesses

The Bank plans to further diversify its revenues by expanding its products and service offerings, particularly its fee
and commission based products and businesses, including:

financial planning and advisory services;.

online securities trading;

general insurance services;

inward and outward remittances;

private equity and venture capital;

custodial services; and

pension fund management.

Through its New Business department, the Bank will continue to look for new areas where it believes it can
leverage its size and experience to create new and profitable products and businesses, particularly in light of the
future opportunities presented by the relative under-penetration of the Indian financial services sector.

Utilize technology to enhance delivery of banking products and services

The Bank is committed to its ongoing effort to leverage new technology to maximize efficiency in its operations
and expand the modes of delivery of its services, enabling it to increase penetration into existing customer
segments. To achieve this, the Bank has migrated all of its branches to the core banking solution application
platform and expanded its ATM and internet banking networks. The Bank also plans to continue offering an
expanding suite of mobile banking, debit and prepaid card services to its customers. The Bank also plans to
continue investing in payment systems to make them more robust and efficient, thereby improving customer service
and enhancing its product offerings.

Continually strengthen the Bank’s risk management and internal control capabilities

The Bank plans to continue enhancing its risk management and internal control capabilities in order to ensure a
sound governance structure, independent credit risk management system and strong risk management culture shared
by all employees. The Bank continues to implement Basel II guidelines, applying advanced risk management
tools, upgrading related information technology systems and continuously enhancing the Bank‘s risk
identification, measurement, monitoring and control capabilities. The Bank regularly examines its internal
control policies and procedures to enhance the effectiveness of the entire internal control system.

Attract and develop talented and experienced professionals

The Bank plans to recruit, retain, motivate and develop talented and experienced professionals in a number of ways,
including enhancing the Bank‘s human resource department to meet its growth plans and business needs. The Bank
also plans to focus on the recruitment and cultivation of a high-quality and professional workforce, provide
training and development programs for the Bank‘s employees to enhance their professional knowledge and
capabilities

STATEMENT OF TAX BENEFITS

The information provided below sets out the possible tax benefits available to the bond holders of an Indian
company in a summary manner only and is not a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax consequences of the
subscription, ownership and disposal of bond, under the current tax laws presently in force in India. Several of these
benefits are dependent on the bond holders fulfilling the conditions prescribed under the relevant tax laws. Hence

comprehensive and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice. Investors are advised to consult their
own tax consultant with respect to the tax implications of an investment in the bonds particularly in view of the fact
that certain recently enacted legislation may not have a direct legal precedent or may have a different interpretation
on the benefits, which an investor can avail. We are not liable to the Bond Holder in any manner for placing reliance
upon the contents of this statement of tax benefits.

OUR BUSINESS

Industry Overview

The RBI, the central banking and monetary authority of India, is the central regulatory and supervisory authority for
the Indian financial system. Established in 1935, the RBI manages the country‘s money supply and foreign
exchange and also serves as the bank for the Government and for the country‘s commercial banks. In addition to
these traditional central banking roles, the RBI undertakes certain developmental and promotional roles. A variety of
financial intermediaries in the public and private sectors participate in India‘s financial sector, including the
following:

commercial banks;

long-term lending institutions;

non-bank finance companies, including housing finance companies;

other specialised financial institutions and state-level financial institutions;

insurance companies; and

mutual funds.

Until the early 1990s, the Indian financial system was strictly controlled. Interest rates were administered, formal
and informal parameters governed asset allocation and strict controls limited entry into and expansion within the
Indian financial sector. The Government‘s economic reform program, which began in 1991, encompassed the
financial sector. The first phase of the reform process began with the implementation of the recommendations of the
Committee on the Financial System, the Narasimham Committee I. The second phase of the reform process began in
1999.

The RBI issues guidelines on exposure limits, income recognition, asset classification, provisioning for non-
performing and restructured assets, investment valuation and capital adequacy for commercial banks, long-term
lending institutions and non-bank finance companies. The RBI requires these institutions to furnish information
relating to their businesses to it on a regular basis.

The Indian financial system is largely comprised of commercial banks (both scheduled commercial banks and non-
scheduled commercial banks), public sector banks, private sector banks, foreign banks, regional rural banks,
cooperative banks, long-term lending institutions, non bank finance companies and other financial institutions.

Business Groups

The Bank organizes its client relationships, marketing and product development, as well as non-customer
facing activities, through its principal business segment Groups. The Bank‘s Groups are as follows:

The Corporate Banking Group provides corporate banking services to many of India‘s largest and
most prominent corporations and institutions, including state-owned enterprises.

The National Banking Group services the Bank‘s personal banking customers in urban and metropolitan
areas, small-scale industries, including state-owned enterprises, and corporate customers which are not
serviced by either the Corporate Banking Group or the Mid-Corporate Group. The National Banking
Group also provides financial services to the Government and state governments.

The Mid-Corporate Group services entities with an annual turnover between approximately Rs. 500
million and Rs. 5 billion or which have credit facilities in excess of Rs. 100 million.

86
The Rural Business Group services individual, agricultural and small business customers located in rural
and semi-urban areas through the largest branch and ATM network in India, with a focus on innovative
and effective modes of delivering banking services to such areas.

The International Banking Group through its overseas branches and subsidiaries provides a range of
international banking services to Indian and foreign companies with operations inside and outside India as
well as NRIs conducting business in foreign markets and local populations.

Global Markets operates the Bank‘s treasury functions, managing domestic liquidity, its investment
portfolio and foreign currency exposure. Global Markets also enters into foreign exchange and risk
hedging derivative products on behalf of the Bank‘s customers.

The Bank‘s administrative services and management, including risk management, IT, inspection and audit, legal
and human resources functions, are common to all of its Groups. Within the National Banking Group and Rural
Business Group, which together account for the largest number of the Bank‘s branches, these common
services are organized on the basis of administrative units, which are referred to within the Bank as ―circles,‖
―networks and administrative offices‖ and ―branches.‖

The risk management department has operational risk managers and risk raters located at each circle‘s
headquarters, as well as risk raters within the Mid-Corporate Group (who also serve the Corporate Banking
Group) and the International Banking Group. The IT department provides support to all business groups. A senior
officer responsible for IT coordination across the Group sits at the Bank‘s corporate headquarters to prioritize
and coordinate IT-related issues among the various business groups, human resources and industrial relations.

Corporate Banking Group

The Corporate Banking Group provides corporate banking services to many of India‘s largest and most prominent
corporations and institutions, including state-owned enterprises, and offers fund-based and non-fund-based
products, fee and commission-based products and services, deposits, foreign exchange services and derivatives. The
Corporate Banking Group‘s customers span the range from clients with annual turnover exceeding Rs. 5.0 billion to
the largest corporations in India. Each customer is assigned a relationship manager, who serves as a single point of
contact for all of the customer ‘s banking needs, including loan products, deposit accounts, international
funding for cross-border transactions and interest rate and foreign exchange hedging products. As of March 31,
2010, the Corporate Banking Group had a network of 79 dedicated branches. The Corporate Banking Group had a
loan portfolio of Rs. 881.4 billion as of March 31, 2010, approximately equal to 14% of the Bank‘s total advances
as of such date. It also had loan portfolios of Rs. 467.1 billion and Rs. 688.7 billion as of March 31, 2008 and 2009,
respectively.

The Corporate Banking Group endeavors to go beyond traditional lending products by exploring new growth areas
such as cash management, offering centralized payment solutions and marketing derivatives products by taking
advantage of the volatility in the currency markets and the consequent need by corporates to hedge their balance
sheet risks. Relationship managers facilitate the cross-selling of products from the Bank‘s other Groups, such as
Personal Banking services for the corporation‘s management and employees, or the International Banking Group‘s
export finance services.

The Corporate Banking Group comprises three strategic business groups — Corporate Accounts, Stressed Assets
Management and Project Finance and Leasing. The Corporate Accounts group services large Indian corporations.
The Stressed Assets Management group provides specialized internal support in managing and recovering the
Bank‘s NPAs of Rs. 10 million and greater, while the Project Finance and Leasing group appraises and provides
specialist support to all high value projects (with project costs exceeding Rs. 2 billion) in which the Bank is
involved.

Corporate Accounts Group

The Corporate Accounts group focuses on the Bank‘s prime corporate customers across India. Through its customer

87
relationship management approach, where each client is assigned a dedicated accounts management team, headed
by a relationship manager to coordinate its banking relationship with the Bank, the Corporate Accounts group aims
to leverage its strong corporate relationships and increase the Bank‘s market share in fund-based, non-fund-based
and fee-based products. Services are delivered through six branches dedicated exclusively to Corporate Accounts
group customers in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad. The Bank also believes that
separate marketing and customer service departments are necessary in order to adequately meet the demands of this
customer base.

Within the Corporate Accounts group, an institutional accounts unit focuses exclusively on institutional
accounts such as mutual funds, insurance companies, other institutions and government departments, leveraging
such relationships to maximize fee and commission income. The Bank believes that banking services in the
form of payment and collection solutions and liquidity management have become critical requirements of
such customers, who will continue to be a significant driver of both interest and fee- and commission-based
income.

Products offered to Corporate Accounts group customers include loan products, deposits, fee and commission-
based products and services, and a broad range of foreign exchange and treasury services, including RBI-permitted
derivatives, which are developed and provided by the International Banking Group and Global Markets Group,
respectively.

The Bank provides a corporate internet banking facility, with multi-level access and authorization
controls required by corporate customers. Other delivery channels utilized by the Corporate Accounts group
include the Bank‘s extensive branch network, credit cards, and electronic payments platforms.

The Corporate Accounts group‘s corporate loan portfolio primarily consists of working capital finance and term
loans for project and corporate finance. The Corporate Accounts group offers its customers both fund-based and
non-fund-based products. The most commonly used fund-based products are cash credits, working capital demand
loans, bill discounting, term loans, corporate loans and export credit. Interest rates on these facilities have
historically been linked to the RBI prime lending rate or to other market related rates. From July 1, 2010 the
Bank‘s plan is for new loan products of these types to be linked to the Bank‘s publicly declared base rate.
Non-fund-based products such as letters of credit, bank guarantees, deferred payment guarantees, remittance
and collection services, online tax payment, cash management services and end-to-end payment solutions are some
of the sources of fee-based income. As of June 30, 2010, total outstanding loans to customers of the
Corporate Accounts group were Rs. 956.0 billion in respect of fund based products and Rs. 1,383.6 billion in
respect of non-fund-based products.

The Bank handles bulk business for all Corporate Accounts Group customers across India by way of dividend
warrant payments for companies, as well as bulk electronic salary payments of large corporates, public sector
undertakings (―PSUs‖) and government departments. These activities are all processed through the Bank‘s own
computerized network and also through the electronic payment gateways of the RBI. Additionally, the Bank
handles bulk draft issuances for customers across the country. The Bank also acts as a refund bank for the
Government tax authorities and is the exclusive refund bank in respect of income taxes. These activities all
contribute to the Bank‘s fee-based income.

Stressed Assets Management

The Stressed Assets Management Group (―SAMG‖) focuses on the timely resolution of NPAs of Rs. 10 million
and above incurred in the Bank‘s customer-facing units. The Bank‘s Credit Policy and Procedures
Committeeformulates NPA policy, while the SAMG handles the NPAs in accordance with such policies. The
SAMG operates from 12 branches throughout India exclusively dedicated to the recovery or rehabilitation of NPAs
referred from other business groups within the Bank (for example, the Corporate Accounts Group, which will have
booked the assets that may become NPAs). These branches report directly to a group head based in the Bank‘s
corporate headquarters, which has enabled the Bank to centralize its efforts to improve the Bank‘s overall asset
quality. The SAMG first examines the feasibility of restructuring debts referred to it by extending appropriate relief,
concessions or soft repayment terms, with a view to upgrading such debts into performing assets. If the NPAs are

88
found ineligible for restructuring, the SAMG takes steps to recover the amounts due to the Bank either by a one-
time settlement with the borrower or enforcing any security interests the Bank may have or by selling the NPAs to
other banks, financial institutions or other entities or by resorting to other legal means of recovery. In addition, to
reduce small value NPAs (below Rs. 10 million), stressed assets resolution centers have been set up in major cities
across India.

Enforcement of Security Interests under the SARFAESI Act

To assist banks and financial institutions in recovering their unpaid advances and to ensure financial discipline
among borrowers, the Government enacted the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and
Enforcement of Security Interest Act (the ―SARFAESI Act‖) in December 2002. The SARFAESI Act provides the
legal framework for (i) the securitization of financial assets by setting up a Securitization Company (―SC‖) or
Reconstruction Company (―RC‖); (ii) the foreclosure of assets through a SC or RC; and (iii) the foreclosure of NPA
accounts.

As at March 31, 2010, the Bank issued notices under the SARFAESI Act to 82, 286 borrowers with an aggregate
principal outstanding of approximately Rs. 127,210 million. Of the 82, 286 borrowers on whom the Bank had
served notice, Rs. 16,870 million has been recovered. The Bank has been applying all available methods for the
recovery of unpaid advances, including reporting the name of wilful defaulters to the RBI together with
commencing the necessary steps for recovery. The Bank has also initiated aggressive one-time settlement measures
to recover unpaid loans.

Corporate Debt Restructuring Mechanism

In addition to the Government passing the SARFAESI Act, RBI has established the Corporate Debt Restructuring
Mechanism (―CDRM‖). The objectives of the CDRM are (i) to ensure a timely and transparent mechanism for
restructuring corporate debts of viable entities affected by certain internal and external factors and (ii) to minimise
losses to creditors and other stakeholders through and orderly and coordinated restructuring program. The CDRM is
a voluntary, non-statutory mechanism based on debtor-creditor and inter-creditor agreements and operates outside
the authority of the BIFR, debt recovery tribunals or legal proceedings.

The following table shows loan assets subjected to restructuring during the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31,
2009 and March 31, 2010 and as a percentage of the Bank‘s total loans on those dates.

Establishment of Asset Reconstruction Company

The SARFAESI Act provides the framework for setting up asset reconstruction companies in India. According, the
Bank, together with other major Indian banks, has jointly promoted the Asset Reconstruction Compnay (India) Ltd.
(―ARCIL‖). ARCIL serves as the entity that acquires the NPAs of its parent banks at a mutually acceptable price
against the issue of security receipts. ARCIL seeks to recover outstanding debts through restructuring, settlement or
enforcement of security interests. ARCIL then uses amounts recovered to redeem the security receipts issued to
certain qualified institutional buyers. As at March 31, 2010, the Bank owns 19.95% of the share capital of ARCIL.

In July 2005, the RBI issued guidelines on the sale and purchase of NPAs amongst banks, financial institutions and
NBFCs. Pursuant to an amendment in these guidelines on October 4, 2007, the RBI has stipulated that banks should
calculate the net present value of the estimated cash flows associated with the realisable value of the available

89
securities net of the cost of realisation. As a result, the sale price of an NPA should generally not be lower than the
net present value arrived at in the manner described above.

Project Finance and Leasing

The Project Finance and Leasing group provides specialist project evaluation services to the Bank‘s customers.
This group has a particular focus on core infrastructure sectors of the Indian economy such as power,
telecommunications, oil and gas (including transportation, pipelines, and refineries), roads, bridges, ports and
urban infrastructure, although it has also expanded to other sectors, such as steel, and other industrial sectors,
such as commercial real estate. The project finance team examines projects in targeted industries whose total cost is
at least Rs. 2 billion (Rs. 3 billion in case of road or thermal power projects) with debt exposure in excess of Rs.
500 million. Project Finance cells have been set up in two centers to tap business potential in their area. The
thresholds for the cells are: all road projects with a project cost of Rs. 500 million and above, power projects as well
as commercial projects with a project cost of Rs. 500 million to Rs. 5 billion and other infrastructure projects with
a project cost between Rs. 500 million to Rs. 2 billion.The Corporate Banking Group, National Banking Group and
Mid-Corporate Group interface with the customer in proposing project finance services, while appraisals and
sanctioning of a project will generally be carried out by the Project Finance and Leasing group. In respect of large
infrastructure projects, apart from appraisal, control is also maintained at this level. Once the project risk has
passed, control of the project reverts to the originating Group. Leasing activities, which were started by the Bank in
1995, are progressively being wound up and the Bank does not expect leasing to comprise a significant part of its
activities in the future.

Other Corporate Banking Services

The Bank also offers loan syndication, corporate cash management, trade finance and funds transfer and
settlement services to Corporate Banking Group customers.

Loan Syndication

Through its subsidiary, SBI Capital Markets Ltd., the Bank has developed significant syndication capabilities,

90
structuring and arranging the syndication of large financial transactions. The Bank seeks to leverage these
syndication capabilities to arrange project and corporate finance for its corporate customers and earn fee income.
By leveraging the experience of SBI Capital Markets Ltd. and the extensive customer relationships of the Bank,
this strategic relationship has made a significant contribution to the Bank‘s ability to cross-sell the products and
services of its various business groups and subsidiaries.

Corporate Cash Management

The Bank provides cash management services to corporate customers under the brand name SBI FAST, which
stands for ―funds available in shortest time.‖ Customers can use approximately 973 branches at 680 centers
throughout India, with pooling facilities at various branches, which are connected to the Bank‘s central
clearing center in Mumbai. This service aims to enhance liquidity, reduce costs and provide profit opportunities for
the Bank‘s customers by allowing for better liquidity management. Through SBI FAST, funds are transferred
directly to the customer ‘s main account at any branch of the Bank in India from various collection centers on the
same day that they are cleared at the collecting centers. SBI FAST also offers disbursement and payment services
through a separate platform to facilitate payments and collections across the country at customers‘ payment centers
and plant locations.

Detailed management information system reports covering a variety of banking information are made available on a
daily basis to customers‘ corporate head offices as well as to their local offices and representatives at the centers
through automatically generated email. The Bank customizes the management information system reports to
customers‘ needs. Monthly reports are also sent to customers through automatically generated email. Full
reconciliation support, meaning the automatic reconciliation of payments and receipts effected by the
customer, is provided centrally from the Bank‘s hub in Mumbai by a dedicated team.

The payment solutions offered by the Bank as a part of corporate cash management make it possible for corporate
customers to outsource their accounts payable and have payments processed using electronically-based as well as
paper products. In addition to effecting payments to Bank branches, electronic payments may be made by the Bank
on behalf of its customers to other banks‘ branches across India. As of March 31, 2010, 973 branches at 680
centres across in India used this centralized cash management system, enabling quick, time-sensitive bulk

Trade Finance

Trade finance services offered by the Corporate Banking Group include the issuance and advising of
domestic and foreign letters of credit, the confirmation of export letters of credit, the issuance of guarantees on
behalf of domestic customers in favor of domestic and foreign beneficiaries, and on behalf of foreign

as non-letter of credit bills and similar services.

Trade finance services include an IT-driven supply chain financing product developed by the National Banking
Group. The Bank expects that supply chain financing will enable it to leverage its links with major existing
corporate customers to offer the financing services of small- and medium-sized vendors and dealers to such
major customers. The target vendors would typically be small- to medium-sized enterprises (―SMEs‖) or members
of small-scale industries that are typically, although not exclusively, customers of the Bank. Supply chain
financing is being marketed to corporates for use by their vendors. It is anticipated that this activity will bring into
the Bank a number of new vendors who serve the Mid-Corporate and SME segments.

Funds Transfer and Settlement

The Bank offers real-time gross settlement (―RTGS‖) and national electronic funds transfer (―NEFT‖)
remittance facilities for qualifying transactions in its branches, via its internet banking systems and, in the case of
NEFT, through the Mobile Banking Service. Substantial growth in both inward and outward RTGS and NEFT
remittances has been achieved in the last Fiscal Year, due to sustained efforts to migrate corporates and individuals
to the facilities. The Bank has maintained its leadership position in RTGS, with a market share of 14.2% as of
March 31, 2010 as per RBI data and registered 135.7% growth in NEFT transactions processed over the last year.

National Banking Group

The National Banking Group provides a range of retail banking products to individuals, corporate banking
products to the Bank‘s corporate, mid-corporate and small enterprise customers that are not serviced by the
Corporate Banking Group or the Mid-Corporate Group, and banking services to the Government and state
governments. Corporate banking products and services offered by the National Banking Group are largely the same
as those offered by the Corporate Banking Group. The National Banking Group services customers located in urban
and metropolitan areas, while customers in rural and semi-urban areas are serviced by the Rural Business Group
(discussed below). Geographic areas are classified as urban, metropolitan, rural or semi-urban by the RBI based on
population.

The National Banking Group includes three customer-facing business groups — Personal Banking, SME and
Government Banking — spread out over 14 administrative circles covering the Bank‘s branch network, 11
exchange bureaus, 108 satellite offices and 206 extension counters as of June 30, 2010.

Personal Banking

The Bank is the largest retail bank in India, with approximately 121 million retail accounts across the largest
branch and ATM network in India, which, as of June 30, 2010, totalled 12,567 branches, 4,125 of which were in
urban and metropolitan areas and 8,442 of which were in rural and semi-urban areas. This represents significant
growth in the number of branches, up from a total of 11,448 as of March 31, 2009, and 10,186 as of March 31,
2008. The Bank‘s ATM network totalled 16,584 ATMs (inclusive of 89 foreign ATMs) as of June 30, 2010, with
9,622 of those in urban and metropolitan areas and 6,962 in rural and semi-urban areas. This represents significant
growth in the number of ATMs, up from a total of 8,581 as of March 31, 2009, and 5,860 as of March 31, 2008.
The Bank plans to continue its expansion in Fiscal Year 2011 by recruiting new employees, opening new branches
and establishing new ATMs. Together with its Associate Banks, subsidiaries and joint ventures, in both the banking
and non-banking sectors, the Bank offers a broad range of products and services to its retail customers, including
lending products such as home finance loans, automobile finance loans, and personal loans, deposit products, such
as demand and term deposits and savings accounts, and credit cards. In addition, the Bank goes beyond traditional
banking services to provide access to fee- and commission-based products such as life insurance and mutual funds
as well as providing services tailored to NRIs.

Specific customer segments receiving focused attention of the Bank include high net worth and mass affluent and
salaried clients. High net worth and mass affluent customers receive a package of special facilities called SBI
Vishesh, a priority services offering available at key branches throughout India. In addition, the Bank has
made a concerted effort to broaden its client base of salaried employees by offering a special corporate
salary package consisting of enhanced facilities with a reduction in fees and charges. The Bank has deployed
over 1,075 relationship managers and customer relations executives as of June 30, 2010 to provide personalized
service to these customers.

The Bank‘s retail lending products include home, auto and personal loans; the Bank‘s retail loan portfolio was
equal to approximately 25.5% of the Bank‘s total advances as of June 30, 2010. According to RBI data, the
Bank had a 18.5% share of the home loan market as of March 31, 2010. According to data collected from car
manufacturers, the Bank had a 16.8% market share of the auto loan market, and according to Indian Banks
Association data it had a market share of 25.0% of the education loan market, in each case measured by amounts
outstanding as of March 31, 2010.

Home Loans. The Bank is the leading provider of home loans within India, both in terms of aggregate
amount outstanding and new disbursements during Fiscal Year 2010. As of June 30, 2010, home loans
constituted more than 53.4% of the personal banking loan portfolio of the Bank by total amounts
outstanding. In addition to home loans for the purpose of construction, purchase and repair of personal
residences, the Bank has also introduced more sophisticated products such as reverse mortgages and home
equity loans.

Auto Loans. These are loans for the purchase of new and used cars, jeeps and utility vehicles, as well as for

92
two-wheeled vehicles such as scooters, motorcycles and mopeds, including battery operated vehicles. The
Bank offers a number of auto loan products to meet the requirements of various customer segments. The
auto loans portfolio contributes approximately 11.0% of the personal banking loan portfolio of the Bank as
of June 30, 2010.

Education Loans. In India, the Bank is the largest provider of education loans among PSU Banks as of
March 31, 2010, according to the Indian Banks Association. Education loans include such targeted
products as SBI Scholar Loans, which include loans to students securing admissions in 100 elite
institutions, such as the Indian Institute of Management and the Indian Institute of Technology, at
concessional terms and interest rates.

Personal Loans. The Bank offers a wide range of personal loan products targeting specific
customer segments or funding purposes. Major personal loan products include Xpress Credit, SBI Loan to
Pensioners, SBI Loan to Affluent Pensioners and the Rent Plus Scheme.

The following table sets out the total amounts outstanding of home loans, education loans and auto loans in the
Bank‘s personal banking loan portfolio for the last three Fiscal Years. (As of March 31, 2010)

Deposit products offered to Personal Banking customers include savings, checking, term deposits and hybrid
accounts that combine features of savings and term deposit accounts.

In select branches, the Bank offers advisory services to assist customers to shape their lifelong financial and
investment goals. A tailored suite of products comprising mutual funds, fixed deposits and insurance products is
offered. The Bank plans to introduce wealth management services in a phased manner to assist high-net worth
clients seeking wealth preservation and capital appreciation.

Delivery Channels

The Bank is committed to bringing convenience and technology to its customers. In accordance with this goal,
delivery channels available to the Bank‘s personal banking customers include:

ATM and Debit Cards

The Bank has the largest ATM network in the country, with a total of 16,584 ATMs as of June 30, 2010, which
grew from 8,581 ATMs as of March 31, 2009. The Bank believes that ATMs are its most dynamic retail delivery
channel today. The Bank had issued 59.0 million debit cards as of June 30, 2010. The Bank‘s customers can
conduct a range of transactions free-of-charge at any one of the Bank‘s ATMs across the country, including cash
withdrawals, balance enquiries, mini-statements, utility payments, mobile recharges, temple donations, fee
payments and fund transfers. During Fiscal Year 2010, the Bank incurred expenditures of Rs. 7.4 billion for capital
expenditures on information technology, compared to Rs. 5.5 billion of such expenditures in Fiscal Year 2009.

The Bank has created a single ATM network across all of its subsidiaries and associates, for a total of 21,751 ATMs
across the Group, with a total of 75.4 million ATM cards issued by the Group. This was a significant increase from
11,404 ATMs across the Group as of March 31, 2009. On average, the Bank‘s ATMs transact more than 4 million
transactions daily involving approximately Rs. 9.9 billion of cash withdrawals for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2010. For the Group, average daily transactions are 5 million transactions per day, with cash withdrawals
of Rs. 12.7 billion per day.

Value-added facilities such as payment of premiums on SBI Life Insurance Policies, SBI Credit Card account

93
payments, payments of fees for selected schools and colleges, mobile phone recharges, bill payments and temple
donations are available through the Bank‘s ATMs. Cash and check deposit facilities have been introduced at select
ATMs.

Credit and Prepaid Cards

The Bank operates its credit card business through its subsidiary, SBI Cards and Payment Services Pvt. Ltd.
(―SBICPSL‖). SBICPSL believes its estimated market share to be approximately 14% as of February 1, 2010 by
number of credit cards issued in India.Credit cards are marketed primarily by the National Banking and Rural
Business Groups.

The SBI Vishwa Yatra Foreign Travel Card is a prepaid card issued in association with Visa International that can
be used to withdraw cash from Visa-enabled ATMs and to purchase goods and services from merchants and points
of sale displaying the Visa logo in India, Nepal and Bhutan. The card is available in U.S. dollars, sterling and euro
currencies. For domestic use, Rupee prepaid cards are issued in association with Visa International. Periodic
payments such as salary may be loaded onto the card at any Bank branch connected to the core banking
solution application, with the funds available to cardholders immediately.

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

The SME Business group focuses on servicing the specific credit needs of SMEs, defined by the Bank as entities
with an annual turnover of up to Rs. 500 million. The SME Business group had a loan portfolio of Rs. 1,106.0
billion as of June 30, 2010, equal to approximately 16.7% of the Bank‘s total advances as of such date. It also had
loan portfolios of Rs. 958.9 billion and Rs. 1,108.1 billion as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

The Bank believes that SMEs are a major driving force behind India‘s recent economic success. Accordingly, the
Bank has dedicated specific resources to this customer segment. Because there are many SMEs but they generally
share similar credit needs, SMEs typically require highly customized products less frequently than do large
corporate borrowers. The Bank currently has 170 strategically located specialized SME branches, which
maintain specially trained personnel dedicated to SME customers. Relationship managers are provided to
high-end SMEs, as these customers generally require more specialized attention. The Bank has established 27
regional care centers in local head offices across the country, which are responsible for the quick redress of SME
grievances.

Products and services offered specifically to SMEs include dedicated branch tellers, stand-by lines of credit, current
accounts, time and other deposits, business to business payment solutions, multi-city checks, bank guarantees,
letters of credit, specially tailored internet banking as well as working capital and term loans. Further, the Bank has
taken initiatives, including advisory services and concessionary finance, in implementing an Energy Efficiency
Program for its SME clients. The Energy Efficiency Program offers a subsidized energy study to energy-intensive
SMEs, carried out by energy consultants employed by the Bank, and financing on advantageous terms of the
implementation of energy conservation measures.

The Bank has specialized SME branches located in the areas where there is greater potential for SME activity.
These branches provide focused attention for SMEs through specially trained personnel whose sole responsibility is
to look after SME customers. To provide easy quick and transparent access to banking services including day-to-
day operations. The Bank has adopted the Code of Banks Commitment to Micro and Small Enterprises customers
as prescribed by the Banking Code and Standard Board of India (BCSBI). Furthermore, for quick redress of
grievances of SMEs at the network level, the Bank has established regional MSME care centres in all local head
offices across the country.

The Bank has simplified the credit appraisal process and reduced credit delivery time through a program called
SME Smart Score. This program is based on a scoring model system to simplify the approval process for loans up
to Rs. 5 million for manufacturing units and Rs. 2.5 million for trade and services. The Bank has also developed
industry, activity, and cluster specific scoring models. As part of its BPR initiative, the Bank has begun to centralize
credit processing for SMEs, enabling the Bank to offer greater uniformity in appraisals, quicker processing and
better risk management. The Bank has entered into tie-up arrangements with various industry majors for dealer

94
financing on liberalized norms.

In addition to traditional lending products, the Bank seeks to extend its reach to the supply chain partners of large
corporations through supply chain financing, including the financing of selected vendors and dealers of the
Bank‘s corporate clients. This IT-based product provides an important cross-selling opportunity, linking customers
of the Corporate Banking Group, as industry majors, and suppliers or vendors of various sizes that comprise the
customer base of the SME Group.

In an effort to encourage collateral free loans to micro- and small-scale enterprises (―MSEs‖), the Bank entered into
a memorandum of understanding with the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for MSEs to obtain guarantees on a
portfolio basis. In order to assist SMEs during the recent economic downturn, the Bank has offered additional
funds on liberalized terms with low interest rates through two new programs, SME Care and SME Help.

The SME Business group is further subdivided into Small-Scale Industries and Small Business Finance. Since its
inception, the Bank has played and continues to play an important role in the development of small-scale
industry enterprises and small businesses. Small-Scale Industries and Small Business Finance customers
located in rural or semi-urban areas have access to the same products and services through the Rural Business
Group.

Small-Scale Industries: Small-Scale Industries customers are businesses engaged in the manufacture,
processing or preservation of goods and whose investment in plant and machinery does not exceed
Rs. 50 million. As part of its involvement in this sector, the Bank has prepared a charter for Small-Scale
Industries, detailing schemes and standards for lending to this sector. The Bank also offers management
consultancy services to small-scale industry enterprises who plan to upgrade their technology
capabilities. Through this project, the Bank increased penetration in, among others, industries
relating to auto components, rice mills and other industries.

Small Business Finance: The Bank finances small business activities for a large number of its SME
customers. Small business finance is undertaken under four broad categories: retail traders, business
enterprises, professionals and self-employed persons and small road transport operators. For example, with
respect to retail trade, the Bank extends loans to retail traders who act as a link between the manufacturers
of goods or commodities and the consumer. The Bank also offers working capital products as well as loans
for the purchase, renovation and repair of equipment.

Government Banking

The Bank handles government transactions as an agent of the RBI on behalf of the Government and various state
governments. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Bank handled approximately 58.8% of Government
aggregate payments and receipts, and approximately 65.1% of state government payments and receipts. The Bank
acts as agent for the receipt and payment of government transactions. The Bank collects government revenues by
way of taxes, such as central excise and service taxes, through its branches. The Bank also handles government
payment functions through its branches, including pension payments and expenditures payments of various
ministries. Further, the Bank remits funds deposited by departments such as post and telecommunications, railways,
defence and other government departments.

The Bank earns commission income on the payment services it provides. Receipts and pension payments made by
the Bank are subject to a fixed fee per transaction, irrespective of the transaction amount; fees for payments, other
than pension payments, made by the Bank are calculated as a fixed percentage of the payment amount.

Mid-Corporate Group

The Mid-Corporate Group focuses on mid-corporate customers, which are defined by the Bank as entities with
annual turnover between approximately Rs. 0.5 billion and Rs. 5.0 billion and/or which have been provided credit
facilities in excess of Rs. 100 million by the Bank. The Mid-Corporate Group had a loan portfolio of Rs. 1,318.9
billion as of June 30, 2010, equal to approximately 19.92% of the Bank‘s total advances as of such date. It also had
loan portfolios of Rs. 1,189.7 billion and Rs. 1,334.9 billion as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The

95
objectives of the Mid-Corporate Group are to:

focus the Bank‘s attention on the overall banking requirements of mid-corporate clients;

improve turnaround time for credit delivery;

provide customized solutions to meet the financial requirements of mid-corporate clients; and

develop teams well versed in credit, foreign exchange, derivatives and trade finance.

Mid-sized corporate customers have been and continue to be an integral part of India‘s economic development. The
Bank believes that this market segment encompasses more than 10,000 entities, many of whom are listed on a
domestic stock exchange. High concentrations of these customers are located in 14 metropolitan centers, and are
served by the Bank‘s extensive branch network at those centers. In addition to the branch network, the Bank
services customers in other metropolitan centers by establishing sales hubs and centralized credit processing
facilities. The Bank has established 61 branches that are dedicated exclusively to Mid-Corporate Group customers.
Relationship managers provide a single point of contact for all mid-corporate customers. In addition to having
access to a dedicated branch network, Mid-Corporate Group customers in other centers are serviced through sales
hubs at Mid-Corporate Group regional offices located at nine main centers.

Relationship managers are assigned to all mid-corporate customers. These relationship managers are mandated to
attract more banking business from mid-corporate customers by building close relationships with existing
customers, as well as reaching out to potential customers, and familiarizing customers with the various banking
products and services offered by the Bank‘s specialized business groups. An example would be the cross-selling
of retail banking services to the customer ‘s management or employees, or of interest rate and currency hedging
products that are offered by Global Markets. A typical relationship manager handles approximately 30 mid-
corporate accounts and is a customer ‘s central contact at the Bank. A relationship manager may also be
approached by the specialized business groups within the Bank for the purposes of cross-selling banking products
or services to the relationship manager ‘s customers.

A precious metals department within the Mid-Corporate Group focuses on meeting the demand for precious
metals financing by mid-corporate customers as well as serving the retail sector ‘s demands by offering
precious metal products through the personal banking business unit. The gold banking activities of the Bank
encompass wholesale sale of gold, retail sale of gold coins, a gold deposit scheme and loans for manufacture of
gold jewelry to the jewelry industry to customers such as jewelry exporters and domestic jewelers. Demand for
gold, in the form of wholesale and metal loans, has traditionally come from the Bank‘s mid-sized customers such as
jewellery firms and traders.

Similar to the Corporate Banking Group, the Mid-Corporate Group offers supply chain financing to leverage the
Bank‘s customer base by offering vendor and dealer financing to link the large corporate, mid-corporate
and SME customer segments served by the Bank. Customers of the Mid-Corporate Group can be either
industry majors or vendors or dealers.

Rural Business Group

The Bank services customers located in rural and semi-urban areas through the largest branch and ATM network in
India. The Rural Business Group focuses on developing innovative and effective modes of delivering banking
services to all customers located in the rural and semi-urban areas of India, as defined by the RBI. As of March 31,
2010, approximately 67% of the Bank‘s branch network was in semi-urban and rural areas. Banking products
and services provided to customers of the Rural Business Group generally include all corporate and retail products
and services that are provided by the National Banking Group, and are provided to the same demographic customer
groups as are served by the National Banking Group. In addition, to a much smaller extent, the Rural Business
Group provides sophisticated corporate products and services to mid-corporate customers that are located outside
the geographic areas served by the Mid-Corporate Group. The Rural Business Group had a loan portfolio of
agricultural loans of Rs. 639.4 billion as of June 30, 2010, equal to approximately 9.6% of the Bank‘s total
advances as of such date. It also had loan portfolios of Rs. 546.8 billion and Rs. 637.2 billion as of March 31, 2009

96
and 2010, respectively.

The Rural Business Group is subdivided into two business units: Rural Business (Non-farm) and Agriculture.

Rural Business (Non-farm)

The Bank believes that the rural areas of India are greatly underserved by the financial sector, and therefore views
rural banking as a driver of future growth.

The Bank serves its rural clients through an extensive network of 8,442 branches and 7,075 ATMs (including 156
low-cost biometric ATMs) located in rural and semi-urban areas as of June 30, 2010. Rural banking requires an
innovative approach in respect of delivery of services in remote areas, to a population with significant illiteracy
rates, and a large number of small-value transactions. To cater to customer needs, the Bank has set up
branches focusing on products important to rural customers such as savings and term deposits, small
business financing, agricultural finance, life insurance and remittance services, in addition to the other corporate
and retail products and services offered by the National Banking Group. These branches service all customer
segments that are present in their geographic coverage area, from personal banking clients to mid-corporate
clients (who, although serviced at a rural branch, will have their credit needs assessed by the Mid-Corporate
Group). Branches located in rural and semi-urban areas distribute the same personal banking, SME, small-
scale industries and small business finance products and services as those of the National Banking Group.
Rural housing and micro finance, previously handled at the national level, have been regrouped under the Rural
Banking Group.

The Bank is developing alternative delivery channels for banking services and products through business
facilitators and business correspondents (―BC/BFs‖). As of June 30, 2010, the Bank has established approximately
27,900 customer service points catering to such BC/BFs.

Rural banking offers a particular challenge due to the low margin transactions that typically occur at rural branches.
The Bank seeks to overcome this challenge through IT-based initiatives targeted specifically at the rural customer.
These initiatives include a kiosk project that will allow for access to more remote areas as well as a Smart Card
program that allows rural customers to access basic banking services through business correspondents without
meeting the minimum deposit requirements for accounts with the Bank.

The Bank has moved beyond traditional banking to support grass-roots initiatives to encourage access to finance for
the poorest of the rural population. The Bank believes that micro finance, including financing to Self Help Groups
(―SHGs‖), has significantly contributed to the credit growth in rural areas and the improvement in the standard of
living of the rural poor. The Bank has provided advances of Rs. 69.0 billion to approximately 1.8 million SHGs in
India as of June 30, 2010. The Bank is a market leader in SHG lending in India. The Bank has been marketing SBI
Life‘s micro insurance scheme ―Grameen Shakti‖ to meet the insurance needs of SHG members.

The Bank believes that the clients it assists through micro finance initiatives will become loyal customers in the
future. The Bank‘s micro finance initiatives are accomplished primarily through SHGs. The Bank believes that
these groups, comprising approximately 15 to 20 families, each of which is represented by one family member
(who is generally a woman), serve as the basis for establishing group dynamics and a culture of savings
within the community. Given the Bank‘s extensive branch network, the Bank expects to be able to cultivate
relationships with the SHGs and ultimately assist in the development of SHGs and their members into micro
enterprises. The SHGs, by the nature of their activities, promote social capital and entrepreneurship at the micro-
level. The Bank in turn lends to the SHG an amount of up to four times the SHG‘s savings, which the SHG lends
out to its members at its sole discretion. Micro finance loans extended by the Bank form part of the Bank‘s directed
lending obligations. With the growing role of non-governmental organizations (―NGOs‖) in extending the Bank‘s
reach to SHGs, it has introduced a scheme for financing NGOs for lending to SHGs.

Agriculture

Since its inception, the Bank has played and continues to play an important role in the development of
Indian agriculture. The Bank had 428 agricultural development branches as of June 30, 2010. These are

97
specialized branches located throughout India used exclusively for the development of the agriculture sector
and its related industries.

The Bank‘s agricultural development branches offer products such as crop financing, farm equipment
financing, and agricultural value chain financing and serve customers involved in a wide range of agricultural
activities such as crop production, horticulture, plantation crops, floriculture, farm mechanization, land
development and reclamation, digging of wells, tube wells and irrigation projects, as well as activities linked to
agriculture such as storage, trading and processing. The Bank also finances activities such as dairy production,
fisheries, livestock management and silk worm farming. The Bank‘s focus has been on cultivating direct
relationships with the farmers, thereby allowing them to offer more customized products to their clients.
Initiatives aimed at strengthening ties with the farming community include attending farmers‘ meetings and events
as well as a village adoption program, whereby each region, encompassing 40 to 45 branches, adopts one to four
villagesin order to build banking relationships there and to support integrated development of the village.

As in its other lending operations, the Bank uses a scoring model for credit assessment of borrowers under
several of its programs. Lending by individual branches under certain loan programs is linked to NPA levels, so that
NPA levels exceeding certain benchmarks will lead to a tightening of certain credit lines. In addition, recovery
agents are increasingly being used by the Bank to address debt collection, generally by enforcing on the underlying
collateral securing the loans.

International Banking Group

As of June 30, 2010, the Bank had a network of 150 overseas offices in 32 countries covering all major time zones.
Among its other locations, it is present in New York, London, Frankfurt, Singapore, Hong Kong and the
Maldives. It maintains correspondent relationships with 491 leading banks in 124 countries. The International
Banking Group‘s loan portfolio was equal to approximately 15.8% of the Bank‘s total advances as of June 30,
2010.

The Bank‘s international banking products and services include corporate lending, loan syndications, letters
of credit and guarantees, short-term financing, project export finance, and collection of documentary credits
and remittances, as well as the raising of funds and other borrowings outside India. The International Banking
Group‘s core activity is to provide these services to Indian and foreign companies with operations inside of India, as
well as NRIs conducting business in foreign markets. The International Banking Group also seeks to service
corporate and individual customers outside India through the Bank‘s branches and subsidiaries.

The Bank has recently executed plans to open branches in certain select foreign jurisdictions with the aim of
operating as a local bank, providing products and services to attract both NRI and non-Indian customers. The Bank
holds a qualified full banking license in Singapore and is eligible to raise local currency deposits and maintain
branches and ATMs at 25 locations. Currently seven branches and nine off-site ATMs in Singapore are operational,
and the Bank is launching a campaign to grow its deposits and mortgage lending by offering attractive rates and
undertaking a re-branding campaign.

As part of the centralization of treasury activities of foreign offices, the Bank has set up central treasury hubs in
Hong Kong and London. These hubs are intended to aggregate market risks and achieve economies of scale.
Besides meeting the foreign exchange and money market needs of their linked branches and undertaking
proprietary trading in currencies, it is expected that the central treasury hubs will expand their activities to
cover interest rate, foreign exchange, credit structures and bond trading.

Leveraging off of the Bank‘s foreign branches, the International Banking Group participates in foreign currency-
denominated syndicated loans to large international corporations both in the primary and secondary markets. The
Bank‘s foreign offices have had success in managing documentary credits, and have also been active in providing
loans to Indian joint ventures or the wholly owned subsidiaries of Indian corporates which have acquired companies
or set up new projects outside India. The Bank‘s foreign offices have also achieved significant growth in the area of
trade finance as the import and export trade of India has increased. The Bank periodically revises its investment
policy for foreign offices in line with international market practice and available products, emphasizing investments
in the fixed income products of sovereign, banking and corporate issuers.

98
The Bank earns service fees from providing management expertise to two exchange companies in the Middle East,
which also focus on mobilizing deposits and opening new NRI accounts for the Bank. Given the opportunities
arising from the substantial Indian population in the region, the Bank also has arrangements with 20 other exchange
companies and banks in the Middle East to facilitate NRI and other customer remittances to India.

The Bank‘s emphasis on technology is a critical part of the international banking platform. A common banking
application software, specific to the requirements of Bank‘s international branches and subsidiaries, has been
implemented at 125 foreign offices in 23 countries, including 80 offices under 4 subsidiaries. Internet Banking
facilities are available at all these foreign offices, and ATM facilities in 13 countries, out of which 11 countries are
connected to the ATM switch at Belapur, and the remaining offices to their local switches for ATM operations.
Customers at foreign offices now benefit from the instant remittance facility for credits to accounts maintained in
Indian offices through centralised SWIFT operations. Remittances to accounts in other banks are routed through the
National Electronic Funds Transfer scheme of the RBI. AML/OFAC monitoring is done at all foreign offices with
advanced tools.
Global Link Services

The Bank‘s Global Link Services (―GLS‖) facilitates export payments, overseas collections and inward remittances.
This service improves the efficiency of the Bank‘s foreign exchange operations. During the year ended March 31,
2010, GLS collected proceeds from 130,059 export bills in both USD and Euros, as well as 152,951 foreign
currency checks denominated in pound sterling, euro and USD worth approximately USD14.1 billion. The Bank
also received 2.9 million inward remittances in the year ended March 31, 2010 worth USD 2.94 billion. For the
three-month period ended June 30, 2010, GLS collected proceeds from 32,966 export bills in both U.S. dollars and
euros as well as 29,501 foreign currency checks denominated in pound sterling, euro and U.S. dollars worth
approximately U.S.$3.69 billion. The Bank has also received 0.9 million inward remittance for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2010 worth U.S.$1.01 billion.

Project Export Finance

The Bank is an active participant in the financing of project export activities by Indian corporates involving the
bidding for and execution of turnkey and civil construction contracts, the export of engineering goods on a deferred
payment basis and service exports. The Bank can approve projects of up to USD 100 million (Rs. 4.5 billion), and
acts as a sponsor for its customers in respect of projects exceeding USD 100 million (Rs. 4.5 billion), which need
to be approved by a number of Indian government departments. The Bank provides bond guarantees for projects
during the bidding stage. Once projects are approved, the Bank provides performance guarantees and other non-
fund based products as well as construction funding if required by the customer. In the year ended March 31, 2010,
the Bank supported 35 large projects and service export proposals aggregating Rs. 93.0 billion involving 12
countries. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, the Bank supported 6 large projects and service
export proposals aggregating to Rs. 8.4 billion involving 4 countries.

Global Markets

The Bank‘s Global Markets Group manages its domestic liquidity and foreign currency exposure, engaging in
proprietary trading of currencies and offering foreign exchange and risk hedging derivative instruments to the
Bank‘s corporate customers such as forward contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps and foreign currency
options. The Global Markets also handles equity trading for the Bank‘s trading and banking books.

Through its Global Markets operations, the Bank manages its required regulatory reserves and investment
portfolio with a view to maximising efficiency and return on capital. The Bank also seeks to optimize profits from
its trading portfolio by taking advantage of market opportunities. The Bank‘s trading and securities portfolio
includes its regulatory portfolio as there is no restriction on active management of the regulatory portfolio.
Due to these regulatory reserve requirements, a substantial portion of the Bank‘s trading and securities portfolio
consists of Government securities. As of June 30, 2010, Government securities constituted 63.92% of the Bank‘s
total trading and available for sale securities portfolio, while the remainder included corporate debt securities and
equity securities. The Bank has outstanding Government securities worth Rs. 436.05 billion under the Available
for Sale (―AFS‖) and Held for Trading (―HFT‖) categories as of June 30, 2010.

The Global Markets Group engages in domestic and foreign exchange operations from the Bank‘s corporate
headquarters in Mumbai. As part of its treasury activities, the Bank also maintains proprietary trading portfolios in
domestic debt and equity securities and in foreign currency assets. During the the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2010-
2011, the Bank recorded a total turnover of Rs. 3,308.51 billion in its foreign exchange trade, representing an
estimated 11.8% of market share calculated based on RBI data.

The Bank undertakes foreign exchange sales and purchases on behalf of the Bank‘s corporate customers by
engaging in back-to-back derivatives transactions. The Bank also sells RBI-permitted hedging products to the
Bank‘s large and medium sized corporate customers through seven regional treasury marketing units which work
in close coordination with the relationship managers in the Mid-Corporate Group and the Corporate
AccountsGroup.

The Bank offers all RBI-permitted derivative structures to its clients including foreign exchange forward
contracts, options, and currency and interest rate swaps. The Bank‘s investment and market risk policies are
approved by the Central Board.

Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures in India

The Bank‘s banking subsidiaries include two wholly-owned and four majority-owned Associate Banks and SBI
Commercial & International Bank Ltd. (―SBICI‖). The Bank also provides financial services through its non-bank
subsidiaries, including merchant banking, fund management, leasing and factoring services. In the Bank‘s financial
statements, investment in subsidiaries and joint ventures (both in India and abroad) are valued at historical cost after
netting of provisions, if any. The Associate Banks Department of the Bank coordinates the Bank‘s management of

100
the Associate Banks and subsidiaries.

Banking Subsidiaries

An Act of Parliament in 1959 created the banks now named State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of
Hyderabad, State Bank of Indore, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala and State Bank of Travancore
(together, the ―Associate Banks‖). Originally independent regional banks, the Associate Banks are now wholly- or
majority-owned subsidiaries of the Bank. The Associate Banks have a total of 4,841 branches located in various
regions in India and, collectively, the Associate Banks accounted for Rs. 3,590.1 billion in aggregate assets as of
March 31, 2010, representing 24.8% of the Group‘s total consolidated assets.

The Bank merged one of its Associate Banks, the State Bank of Saurashtra, into itself with effect from August 13,
2008. The Bank merged another Associate Bank, the State Bank of Indore, into itself with effect from August 26,
2010.

The Associate Banks generally offer the same products and services as that offered by the Bank, though they are
allowed the freedom to initiate their own product lines where they deem it necessary to meet the specific demands
of their clients. The Bank‘s six Associate Banks together had an estimated market share of 6.6% in deposits
and 6.9% in advances of all scheduled banks as of March 27, 2010, calculated based on RBI data. The Bank agrees
to a budget and a business plan with each Associate Bank annually. The Bank exercises strategic control over each
Associate Bank through the respective boards of directors.

The Associate Banks recorded a growth in business during the period ended March 31, 2010 with deposits and
advances growing by 14.4% and 15.1%, respectively, over the previous year. The Associate Banks together
reported net profit of Rs. 32.7 billion during the period ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 17.7% from the period
ended March 31, 2009. Gross NPAs as a percentage of gross advances increased from 1.36% as of March 31, 2009
to 1.75% as of the end of the period ended March 31, 2010. Net NPAs as a percentage of net advances increased
from 0.61% as of March 31, 2009 to 0.87% as of the period ended March 31, 2010. Net NPA is defined as gross
NPA (which is the aggregate of all NPAs) less provisions.

Although there are no inter-company loans, there are customary inter-bank drawing and deposit arrangements and
short-term inter-bank lending transactions between the Bank and the Associate Banks. During Fiscal Year
2010, the Bank made aggregate equity infusions of Rs. 5.2 billion in the Associate Banks.

The results of the Associate Banks are fully consolidated into the results of the Group. The Associate Banks operate
on the same IT system as the Bank, apply the same accounting policies and are administered by senior level
management appointed by the Bank.

SBICI although not considered to be one of the Associate Banks for historical reasons, is a wholly-owned banking
subsidiary of the Bank established in Mumbai on October 7, 1993. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Bank
announced its intent to merge SBICI into itself, to bring about further synergies and operating efficiencies. The
proposal has been lodged with and is awaiting approval from the Government.

The following table sets out the Bank‘s shareholding and certain financial information of the Associaate Banks and

engaged in businesses other than commercial banking. As of March 31, 2010, such non-bank subsidiaries and joint

Life Insurance

SBI Life Insurance Company (―SBI Life‖) was established in 2001 as a joint venture with Cardif SA (―Cardif‖), a
French subsidiary of BNP Paribas, which holds a 26.0% stake. SBI Life underwrote 0.12 million insurance policies
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. According to IRDA data, as of March 31, 2010, SBI Life is
ranked second amongst private life insurers in India in terms of new business premiums, with a market share of
14.4%. SBI Life had net premium income of Rs. 17.0 billion for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, an
increase of 9% compared to Rs. 15.6 billion for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. Assets under
management by SBI Life as of June 30, 2010 stood at Rs. 299.8 billion, an increase of 64% compared to Rs. 182.4
billion as of June 30, 2009. SBI Life has been rated ‗AAA‘ by CRISIL (an Indian affiliate of S&P) for
financial strength towards meeting policyholder obligations.

SBI Life has an innovative approach to the distribution of insurance products. SBI Life‘s products are
distributed through bank branches as the primary distribution channel, and SBI Life has employed the Bank‘s name,
reputation and customer base to increase the sales of its life insurance products. This strategy leverages the
combined strengths of the Group‘s extensive branch network and BNP‘s expertise in bancassurance distribution. For
the year ended June 30, 2010, approximately 30% of SBI Life‘s insurance premiums were sourced through
bancassurance.

As a secondary distribution channel, SBI Life had 66,572 licensed advisors as of June 30, 2010, who sell through
SBI Life branches. For the year ended June 30, 2010, 47% of SBI Life‘s insurance premiums were sourced through
these advisors. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, 24 new branches were opened and
approximately 1038 insurance advisors were added in the field to expand and strengthen SBI Life‘s geographical
presence.

SBI Life also sells to corporate customers, who accounted for approximately 23% of SBI Life‘s insurance
premiums for the three-month ended June 30, 2010.

General Insurance

The Bank signed a joint venture agreement with Insurance Australia Group Limted on November 24, 2008 for the
establishment of a general insurance business. The new company, SBI General Insurance Company Ltd., has since
received all regulatory approvals necessary for commencement of business operations. The company launched
limited operations on March 26, 2010 in Mumbai, and the Bank expects full scale pan-India operations to
commence by the end of January 2011. The Bank intends to leverage its strong bancassurance channels to offer
clients new general insurance products that will compliment SBI Life‘s existing life insurance product portfolio.
The Bank currently owns 74% of SBI General Insurance Company Ltd.

Custodial Services

103
The Bank signed a joint venture agreement with Société Générale on June 5, 2008 for the creation of SBI Custodial
Services Pvt. Ltd. The company has since been renamed to SBI-SG Global Securities Services Pvt. Ltd. The
company‘s clients include overseas investors such as global custodians, FIIs as well as domestic investors such as
financial institutions, mutual funds, insurance companies, portfolio management services, private banks, corporate
brokers and the Indian securities market. The company offers its clients custodial and securities services such as
custody, fund accounting and fund administration services. The Bank currently holds a 65% equity stake in SBI
Custodial Services Pvt. Ltd.

Private Equity

On October 24, 2008, the Bank entered into a joint venture with Macquarie Capital Group, Australia and
IFC, Washington to establish an infrastructure fund of upto approximately USD 3 billion and other related asset
management and trustee companies to invest in various infrastructure projects in India, for which necessary
approvals have been obtained from the Government and the RBI.

On November 8, 2008, the Bank signed a memorandum of understanding with the State General Reserve Fund
(―SGRF‖) of Oman, the Omani sovereign fund, to set up a general purpose private equity fund that will invest in
infrastructure, tourism, health, telecommunications, utility and urban infrastructure in India, for which necessary
approvals have been obtained from the Government and the RBI.

Regional Rural Banks

The Bank has sponsored, in accordance with applicable legislation, 17 regional rural banks (―RRBs‖)
covering over 124 districts in 17 states with a network of approximately 2,673 branches as of June 30, 2010.
Following changes to the regulatory framework governing RRBs, these banks have been transformed into
commercial banks. The Bank retains certain sponsor responsibilities. These responsibilities include approving
annual business plans and quarterly monitoring of performance, managerial assistance through secondment of
high-level staff, inspection and audit, planning and budgeting, training and development, prevention of fraud,
and guidance and support through the Bank‘s Treasury and Markets Group. The Bank‘s shareholding in each
RRB is limited to 35.0%; the Government holds 50.0% and each relevant state government holds 15.0% of the
shares of each RRB. RRBs cater to the banking needs of customers in rural and semi-urban areas and their
operations are concentrated in one district or a cluster of districts in each state. Their target customer group is
agricultural, small business and retail, to whom the RRBs provide services such as deposit and time accounts,
lending and financing. Following Government consolidation of the sector, there are 22 RRBs sponsored by the
Group as a whole, of which 17 are sponsored by the Bank, as of June 30, 2010. On July 14, 2010 the Bank signed a
joint venture agreement with SGRF to set up a general purpose private equity funds to invest in assets in India.

Information Technology Systems and Infrastructure

The Bank‘s IT infrastructure provides connectivity among the domestic and international network of
branches. The objective of the Bank‘s IT policy is to achieve and maintain efficiency in internal operations and to
meet customer and market expectations. In order to remain technologically competitive with peers and meet
customer demand, the Bank is continuously developing technology-based products related to its core
banking solution application, Internet Banking, ATMs, payment systems and trade finance, as well as other
products, services and systems for internal infrastructure and customer-oriented uses.

IT-Based Products and Services

Mobile Banking Services

The Bank‘s mobile banking service, State Bank Freedom, offers low cost, around-the-clock banking services
to customers via their mobile phones, with an aim to maximize convenience and security. The Bank believes that its
Mobile Banking Service has the potential to improve customer retention and reinforce the Bank‘s brand
recognition. State Bank Freedom is available in connection with accounts at all of the Bank‘s branches. As of
June 30, 2010, over 317,377 customers had registered for mobile banking services, representing significant

104
growth in the number of mobile banking customers from 16,060 customers as of June 30, 2009.

Depending on the mode of access, available facilities include account balance enquiries, mini-statements,
check book requests, trading account enquiries, fund transfer within the Bank and to other banks in India, mobile
credit top-ups, bill payments and payments of life insurance premiums. In the future, the Bank aims to equip mobile
banking with additional features such as rail and air ticket booking, highway toll tag top-ups and mobile wallets.

Internet Banking

As of June 30, 2010, all of the Bank‘s domestic branches are authorized to register customers for internet banking
services, and approximately 4.4 million customers in the retail segment and approximately 0.3 million
customers in the corporate segment were registered for internet banking. This represents significant growth in
the number of total internet banking customers, up from approximately 3.2 million customers as of June 30,
2009, and 2.9 million customers as of March 31, 2009.

The internet banking service is accessed from the Bank‘s website: www.onlinesbi.com. The Bank‘s internet
banking solution is a comprehensive product for both retail and corporate use. Internet banking has given the
Bank a real-time transaction processing capability and has allowed the implementation of the Bank‘s business
initiatives in many areas such as railway and air ticket booking, online tax payment, transfer of funds and utility
bill payment. The Bank‘s customers can check account balances, request check books, bank drafts and bankers‘
checks, issue standing instructions, trade stocks, invest and renew term deposits, open new accounts, donate to
religious organizations and pay income taxes online. Customers can make inter- branch transfer of funds to their
other accounts and also to third party accounts. Customers can also book rail tickets, pay utility bills and insurance
premiums, invest in mutual funds, pay credit card balances and set up SMS alerts for transaction information.

The Bank offers dedicated internet banking for its corporate customers, including SMEs, that include features
specifically tailored to these clients, such as control and authorization features. Internet banking for
corporate customers includes online payment of customs duty and corporate income tax, online payment of
railway freight, vendor finance, dealer finance, corporate salary upload, corporate e-collect, issuance of online
drafts in bulk, and transfer of funds to multiple vendors at different locations.

Bill payment through the Bank‘s e-payment systems, a part of internet banking, allows its customers to pay
their telephone, mobile phone, electricity, insurance and credit card bills, donations to charitable institutions and
college tuition fees electronically. Facility of auto payment of bills is also available for customers to set up
payments such that the bill amount is automatically paid from the customer ‘s account each month without any
action taken by the customer.

The Bank‘s Associate Banks use the same platform to make internet banking services available to their customers.

Dematerialized and Online Trading

Dematerialized or ―demat‖ trading services and online trading services under the Bank‘s eZ-trade@sbi
platform are available at over 2,800 branches across India. As of March 31, 2010, over 200,000 customers held
dematerialized accounts with the Bank. The Bank‘s objective is to continue to broaden its customer base, while
streamlining its demat and online trading products with additional value-added services and features.

eZ-trade@sbi, the Bank‘s online equities and derivatives trading facility, is offered in alliance with SBICAP
Securities Limited and Motilal Oswal Securities Limited. The services provides access to dematerialized
trading from home or office through www.OnlineSBI.com or through the Mobile Banking Service.

IT Infrastructure

Core Banking Solution

All of the Bank‘s branches are connected to the Bank‘s core banking solution application, a fully centralized
database that provides for online real-time transaction processing efficiently across branches, through a

105
centralized processing center. The core banking solution application includes a disaster recovery site which
provides back-up information for the entire project and can host critical banking applications in the event of a
disaster at the primary site. Since its implementation, the core banking solution application has been refined
to enhance processing capabilities, improve management information systems, increase efficiencies relating to
asset-liability management, reduce transaction costs and improve overall operating efficiency.

State Bank Connect

State Bank Connect is the Bank‘s principal connectivity platform, providing the foundation for the Group‘s overall
technology infrastructure. The Bank and its Associate Banks, each with distinct internet protocol addresses, depend
on State Bank Connect to support business-critical applications such as the core banking solution application, trade
finance software, ATMs, payment systems, cash management software, corporate email and internet portals. As
of June 30, 2010, all domestic branches and offices of the Bank and the Group were connected under State Bank
Connect.

Trade Finance Project

The Bank runs a centralized trade finance solutions platform, CS Eximbills, which has been customized and
extended across all of the Bank‘s branches conducting trade finance activities. CS Eximbills is a trade finance
system designed to address the data processing requirements of the Bank‘s trade finance department. CS Eximbills
automates the full range of trade finance activities from document preparation, calculation of commissions and
foreign exchange to accounting, the generation of SWIFT messages and report management. The application
supports a wide range of trade finance functions, such as letters of credit, bank guarantees, bills, pre-shipment and
post-shipment credit, forward contracts, shipping guarantees and standby letters of credit. The software also has a
facility for customers to access relevant services over the internet.

CS Eximbills has been integrated with the core banking solution application and Treasury applications to
facilitate the seamless flow of data entered across multiple systems. Major benefits include multi-currency
accounting, faster turnaround for clients and data integrity across systems.

Business Process Re-Engineering

The Bank has undertaken a BPR initiative in order to transform its operating architecture with an aim to enhance the
sales and service at its branches. The Bank believes its BPR has redefined its ability to acquire new customers, build
stronger relationships with existing customers and provide all customers with the highest quality of service across
multiple delivery channels in the shortest time possible.

A large number of transactions have been transferred from branches to alternate service channels, namely ATMs,
drop-boxes, internet banking, mobile banking and call centers. In addition, many non-customer facing back office
activities have been centralized. The Bank‘s branches have also been redesigned to provide better service for
customers. Customer greeting and specialized sales teams have been created and relationship managers have been
introduced for select clients.

As of June 30, 2010, the initial phase of BPR initiatives was completed, resulting in strengthened systems and
procedures that enable the Bank to handle increased volumes and endeavor to maximize the output of its sales and
other staff. Under future initiatives, the Bank anticipates that it will focus on identifying additional process and
technology upgrades in order to create and sustain market-leading practices.

Competition

The Bank faces competition in all its principal areas of business. Private sector banks, foreign banks and other public
sector banks are the Bank‘s main competitors, followed closely by finance companies, mutual funds and investment
banks. We may also face increased competition from foreign banks if the Indian retail market is further liberalized or
if regulations and restrictions upon branch network growth by foreign banks are simplified or reduced. The Bank
seeks to gain a competitive advantage by offering innovative products and services, maximizing the functions of its
extensive branch network, in particular in rural and semi-urban areas, investing in technology and building on

106
relationships with the Bank‘s key customers. See ―Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Bank’s Business —
The Indian banking industry is very competitive and the Bank’s growth strategy depends on its ability to compete
effectively.‖

Corporate Banking

Corporate banking faces competition from foreign and private banks in such areas as pricing, rupee loans, foreign
currency loans, foreign exchange transactions, trade finance services and cash management services. The lower
risk rating of corporate clients, as well as the higher income generating capacity due to the volume and
diversity of their business, attracts foreign and private banks to this sector. Foreign banks also have the advantage
of their home country connections, with much larger resource raising abilities. However, the Bank believes its
extensive low-cost deposit base provides it with a competitive advantage in meeting customers‘ borrowing
expectations.

In addition, traditional corporate banking faces competition from the disintermediation of financial products.
Customers increasingly have multiple financing sources available to them beyond those generally provided by
traditional banks, which in turn is putting pressure on margins. The Corporate Banking Group has been able
to counter this competition through strong customer relationships, as well as through efficient and focused
delivery of products and services. This has been most noticeable in the area of trade finance services, including
letters of credit. To further counter the downward pressure on margins, the Bank intends to focus on developing
new fee-based services, such as vendor financing and wholesale banking services such as payment and collections
services.

With all domestic branches of the Bank connected through the core banking solution application, the Bank is able to
process bulk direct debits, direct credits and other centralized solutions, without having to utilize the services of any
intermediate banks in the payment chain, ensuring a high level of data privacy for corporate clients. In addition, this
extensive network of branches connected to the core banking solution application has increased the Bank‘s
transaction processing capacity and efficiency, enabling customers to carry out their payments and collections
across all of India, while centralizing their cash management in Mumbai.

Retail Banking

In the retail banking sector, the Bank faces competition primarily from foreign and Indian commercial
banks and housing finance companies. Foreign banks typically focus on limited customer segments, such as high
net worth individuals and mass affluent, and geographic locations due to limitations of their smaller branch
networks relative to Indian commercial banks. Indian commercial banks generally have wider distribution networks
than foreign banks, but relatively weaker technology and marketing capability. The Bank seeks to compete in
this sector by offering a wide product portfolio through its extensive branch network and by leveraging its client
relationships in diverse market and geographic segments. In addition, in rural banking and micro finance, the Bank
believes it can build on the strength of its extensive geographic presence and reputation to continue to expand in
these areas.

The Bank has sought to capitalize on its extensive and diverse corporate relationships to gain individual customer
accounts through payroll management products. Furthermore, it intends to continue to pursue a multi-channel
distribution strategy using physical branches, ATMs, call centers and the internet to reach customers.

In recent years, investment in mutual funds has become an increasingly viable alternative to traditional banking
products, since they offer tax advantages and have the capacity to earn competitive returns. This has resulted in
competition for the deposit base of the Bank‘s retail customers. The Bank has sought to address the competitive
pressure by offering a wider range of mutual fund products to its customers in addition to traditional deposits.

International Banking

The Bank‘s international strategy is focused on India-linked opportunities, and the Bank also intends to expand its
banking operations to serve non-resident Indians as well as local clients in its host countries. In its international
operations, the Bank faces competition from other Indian banks with overseas operations, as well as foreign banks

107
with products and services targeted at non-resident Indians and Indian businesses and other service providers. The
Bank intends to leverage its strong relationships with Indian corporates in its international business.

Government Banking

The RBI, the Bank and other public sector banks conduct Government business in India. Other public sector banks
are the Bank‘s principal competitors in handling Government and state government payments and receipts.
The Bank believes it has a competitive advantage in this activity due to its specially trained staff, business processes
tailored over the course of long relationships to the unique demands of the various Government departments that the
Bank deals with, and the depth of its funding base, which enables it to set aside sufficient funds to meet the
remittance requirements of the Government on a recurring basis.

Three new-generation private sector banks including Axis Bank (formerly UTI Bank), IDBI Bank, ICICI Bank and
HDFC Bank have been authorized by the RBI to collect revenues on behalf of the Central Board of Excise and
Customs and the Central Board of Direct Taxes of the Department of Revenue, the Ministry of Finance and the
Government. The Bank expects to address this growing competition by emphasizing the advantages of its extensive
branch network in providing easy access for customers and its historical association with the Government and the
Government‘s staff, which illustrates its experience and expertise in handling such business.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

The Bank is involved in certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. However,
currently, the Bank is not a party to any proceedings, and is not aware of any current, pending or anticipated
proceedings by governmental authorities or third parties, which, if adversely determined, would have a material
adverse effect on the Bank‘s financial condition or results of operations.

Insurance

The Bank maintains its own insurance policies and coverage that it deems to be appropriate. The Bank‘s standard
insurance policies cover for losses of or damage to property including furniture, fixtures, computer hardware,
ATMs and vehicles. Cash-in-transit, cash, securities and precious metals and other valuables are covered against
theft. In addition, the Bank has also obtained a fidelity policy for employees, as well as directors‘ and officers‘
liability insurance to cover the Bank‘s directors and other key management members. The Bank carries insurance
coverage commensurate with its level of operations and risk perception.

Employees

As of June 30, 2010, the Bank had 200,490 employees. The Bank‘s employees include professionals in business
management, accountancy, engineering, law, computer science, economics and other relevant disciplines.

The Bank‘s management believes that it has a good relationship with its staff.

The Bank aims to develop a collaborative culture and ongoing consultative process at various levels of
administration within the Bank. The Bank believes that it has amicable relations with its employees and the
management is also in constant dialogue with the Officers‘ Federation to avoid any industrial relations issues,
including strikes.
The computerization of branches and other IT initiatives have reduced employee workloads and allowed the Bank
to reduce its overall workforce during the past five to six years despite growing its business. However, the
completion of BPR initiatives, branch expansions and focused efforts for marketing has resulted in an increased
demand for new staff. The Bank‘s human resources plan is routinely reviewed and updated in view of the
Bank‘s growth plans and attrition arising out of retirement, death and resignation of employees. Various
initiatives such as retraining operational staff are under way. Incentive schemes based on performance
measurements have also been operationalised to facilitate the Bank‘s growth, as well as providing the desired
motivation to its employees.

The Bank believes that its employees are its most valuable asset. The Bank has implemented e-learning at the

108
State Bank Academy, Gurgaon, to provide online training and assessment. The performance management
system in the Bank has been upgraded to focus on competency based assessments and career progression
implications. The State Bank Staff College, State Bank Academy, State Bank Institute of Information and
Communication Management, State Bank Institute of Rural Development and 46 Staff Learning Centers, all owned
and operated by the Bank, are located across India and are focused on creation and skills development relevant to
the future of banking.

The Bank faces competition for the recruitment and retention of its employees. Poaching of qualified employees has
been a concern for the Bank in the past and is likely to be a continuing concern for the Bank in the future. In order to
deal with this issue, the Bank is recruiting staff for specialised functions. In addition, the Bank recruits staff at
campuses across India. The Bank has also formulated an incentive scheme for operational employees in an effort to
retain talented employees. Adjustments to this scheme are undertaken on a regular basis to align with market
conditions.

Properties

The Bank‘s principal network consists of 12,567 branches, 206 extension counters and 16,584 ATMs as ofJune 30,
2010. These facilities are located throughout India. In addition to the branches, extension counters and ATMs, the
Bank maintains 14 administrative circles, 11 exchange bureaus and 108 satellite offices. Of the properties used by
the Bank, approximately 800 are owned by the Bank. The Bank‘s corporate office is located in Mumbai. The
Bank‘s premises and other fixed assets are accounted for on a historical cost basis in accordance with Indian
GAAP. As such, the Bank believes the value of its properties, many of which have been in the Bank‘s possession
for a long period, are being carried on its balance sheet at values significantly below their current fair value.

Relationships with the Government and the RBI

The Bank has relationships with the Government and the RBI in several contexts as described below.

Government as Majority Stakeholder

The Government of India purchased the RBI‘s entire shareholding in the Bank on June 29, 2007 and is the Bank‘s
majority shareholder with a shareholding of approximately 59.40%. The Act provides that the Government shall not
hold less than 51.0% of the Bank‘s outstanding shares. As the Bank‘s controlling shareholder, the Government has
effective control over the affairs of the Bank.

Statutory Powers of the Government over SBI

Because the Bank was created by statute, it does not have articles of association. However, under the Act, the
Government has been given rights and powers typically given to shareholders under typical corporate structures.
For example, the Government has the power to increase or reduce the authorized capital of the Bank. The SBI Act
also provides that no shareholder other than the Government shall be entitled to exercise voting rights in
respect of any shares held in excess of 10.0% of the Bank‘s issued share capital.

The Act and its related rules and regulations provide the Government and the RBI with certain additional rights
which may be used to influence the affairs of the Bank. The Act expressly provides that the Bank shall be guided in
matters of policy involving public interest by such direction as the Government may, in consultation with the RBI
and the Chairman of the Bank, provide. In addition, although the Bank‘s affairs are managed by the Central Board,
the Central Board consists of members directly appointed by the Government in consultation with the RBI as well
as nominees from the Government and the RBI. The Government also nominates a director, on the recommendation
of RBI, to the Central Board, under section 19(f) of the Act; the Chairman and a maximum of four Managing
Directors are directly appointed by the Government in consultation with the RBI. The Government has the power to
remove any director from the Central Board.

The Government and the RBI as Regulator

The Government and the RBI regulate the banking sector. In particular, the RBI has authority to issue instructions

109
and notifications, which are typically broad in scope, thereby giving the RBI considerable latitude over
banks in general, including the Bank. Pursuant to such instructions and notifications, the RBI defines the scope of
the Bank‘s activities and otherwise controls many factors affecting the Bank‘s competitive position, operations and
financial condition. It also has the power to license new banks which may compete with the Bank.

Government as Customer

The Act specifically provides that the Bank shall act as the agent of the RBI for certain banking businesses of the
Government and state governments. The Bank also transacts a significant portion of the banking needs of public
sector enterprises (―PSEs‖). The Government, PSEs and the various state governments transact business with the
Bank on a regular basis. As of March 31, 2010, approximately 0.73% of the Bank‘s loan portfolio consisted of food
credit (in the form of loans to agencies of the Government and state governments for procurement and sale of food
grains), and approximately 7.7% of the Bank‘s loan portfolio was to PSEs. It is the policy of the Bank not to enter
into any transaction with PSEs unless the terms are no less favorable than those which would have been obtained by
the Bank in the normal course of business.

Brief Summary of the Regulations and Policies

The main legislation governing commercial banks in India is the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The provisions of
the Banking Regulation Act are in addition to and not, except as expressly provided in the Banking Regulation Act,
in derogation of the Companies Act, 1956 and any other law currently in force. Other important laws include the
Reserve Bank of India Act, the Negotiable Instruments Act and the Banker‘s Books Evidence Act. Additionally, the
RBI periodically issues guidelines to be followed by the Bank. Compliance with all regulatory requirements is
evaluated with respect to financial statements under Indian GAAP. The Bank is also governed by the provisions of
the State Bank of India Act, 1955. Certain provisions of the Banking Regulation Act apply in addition to the Act.
Since the Bank is a statutory corporation, the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 are inapplicable.

Pursuant to guidelines issued by the RBI in April 2007, the Bank is subject to capital adequacy requirements in line
with the Capital Adequacy Norms prescribed by Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory
Practices, 1998. Accordingly the RBI prescribes certain risk weights for the balance sheet assets, non-funded items
and other off balance sheet exposures and the minimum capital funds to be maintained as ratio to the aggregate of
the risk weighted assets and other exposures, as well as capital requirements in the trading book, on an ongoing
basis. Further, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratio (―CRAR‖) of 9% on
an ongoing basis. The Bank is required to maintain capital adequacy based on the higher of minimum capital
required under Basel II or the prudential floor specified for minimum capital required under Basel I. The prudential
floor for Basel I for the years ending March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are 100.0%, 90.0% and 80.0%, respectively.

The object of such capital adequacy framework is that a bank should have sufficient capital to provide a stable
resource to absorb any losses arising from the risks in its business. Capital is divided into tiers according to the
characteristics/qualities of each qualifying instrument. For supervisory purposes capital is split into two categories:
Tier I and Tier II. These categories represent different instruments‘ quality as capital. The loss absorption capacity
of Tier II capital is lower than that of Tier I capital. The Bank is required to maintain, at both solo and consolidated
level, a minimum Tier I ratio of at least 6%.

The total capital of a bank is classified into Tier I and Tier II capital. Tier I capital, the core capital, provides the
most permanent and readily available support against unexpected losses. It comprises paid-up equity capital,
perpetual non-cumulative preference shares and innovative perpetual debt instruments eligible for inclusion as Tier
I capital — subject to laws in force from time to time, reserves consisting of any statutory reserves, free reserves
and capital reserves, any other type of instrument generally notified by the RBI or inclusion in Tier I capital, as
reduced by intangible assets, and losses in the current period and brought forward from the previous period.

Bank‘s deferred tax asset is to be treated as an intangible asset and accordingly eligible for deduction from its Tier I
capital. Any gain on sale arising at the time of securitization of standard assets, if recognized should be deducted
entirely from Tier I capital. Tier II capital consists of revaluation reserves (at a discount of 55.0% while determining
their value), general provisions and loss reserves (allowed up to a maximum of 1.25% of the total risk-weighted
assets), hybrid debt capital instruments (which combine certain features of both equity and debt securities and

110
include perpetual cumulative preference shares, redeemable non-cumulative preference shares and redeemable
cumulative preference shares) subordinated debt, innovative perpetual debt instruments in excess of 15.0% of the
Tier I capital and perpetual non cumulative preference shares in excess of the overall ceiling of 40.0% may be
included in Tier II capital, subject to laws in force from time to time and any other instrument generally notified by
the RBI for inclusion in Tier II capital. Any subordinated debt is subject to progressive discounts as they approach
maturity for inclusion in Tier II capital and total subordinated debt considered as Tier II capital cannot exceed
50.0% of Tier I capital. The guidelines also stipulate that investments above 30.0% in the paid up equity of
subsidiaries and associates which are not consolidated for capital purposes and investments in other instruments
eligible for regulatory capital status in those entities must be deducted to the extent of 50.0% from Tier I capital and
50.0% from Tier II capital. Total Tier II capital cannot exceed Tier I capital.

In accordance with the Master Circular on Capital Adequacy and Market Discipline dated July 1, 2010, banks are
required to maintain capital charge for market risk on securities included in the ‗held for trading‘ and ‗available for
sale‘ categories, open gold positions, open foreign exchange positions, trading positions in derivatives and
derivatives entered into for hedging trading book exposures.

111
DESCRIPTION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT OF THE
BANK

The Bank is exposed to various risks that are an inherent part of any banking business, with the major risks being
credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. The Bank has various policies and procedures in place to
measure, manage and monitor these risks systematically across all its portfolios.

These policies are reviewed by the Central Board (the ―Board‖) from time to time. The Board also reviews the
progress in the implementation of risk management systems, asset liability management, risk based supervision and
a risk based internal audit at quarterly intervals.

The Risk Management Committee of the Board (―RMCB‖) oversees the policy and strategy for Group-wide risk
management relating to various risk exposures of the Bank including credit, market liquidity and operational risks.

The RMCB is supported by various Risk Committees, namely the Credit Risk Management Committee (the
―CRMC‖), Asset Liability Management Committee (―ALCO‖), Market Risk Management Committee
(―MRMC‖), Operational Risk Management Committee (―ORMC‖) and Group Risk Management Committee
(―GRMC‖). These committees are in place to address credit, liquidity, interest rate and operational risk matters.
Critical issues and developments in their respective areas are referred to these committees.

The Bank has a Managing Director & Chief Credit and Risk Officer (―CCRO‖) who is also the Chairman of the
RMCB. The Credit Risk Management Department, the Market Risk Management Department, the Operational
Risk Management Department and the Group Risk Management Department all report directly to the CCRO
through the Chief General Manager (Risk Management). These four departments act independently but coordinate
with the business units to implement risk management policies. ALCO is headed by the Deputy Managing Director
and Chief Financial Officer.

Risk Management Structure

The Bank operates an integrated, independent risk management system, which the management believes is in line
with international best practices, to address the risks faced in its banking activities including liquidity, interest rate,
market, credit and operational risks. As a financial institution, the Bank is exposed to various kinds of risk, in
particular, liquidity risk (the possibility of not having the necessary funds to meet operational and debt servicing
requirements), interest rate risk (the risk associated with movements in interest rates), credit risk (the potential for
loss due to the failure of a counterparty or borrower to meet its financial obligations), market risk (the possibility

112
that changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, prices of debt securities and other financial contracts may have
an adverse effect on the Bank‘s financial condition) and operational risk (including risk arising from inadequate or
failed operational processes, people and systems).

The risk philosophy of the Bank is guided by the twin objectives of enhancement of shareholder value and optimum
allocation of capital. Risk management is perceived as essential to business growth and strategic business
planning, achieved by constant monitoring of the interdependencies and interfaces across business functions.

The Bank‘s exposure norms are in line with the norms prescribed by the RBI for commercial banks and financial
institutions. As per these norms, exposure by way of direct assistance to any single borrower may not exceed 15.0%
(extendable to 20.0% in case of infrastructure projects) of the Bank‘s capital funds (Tier I and Tier II capital)
although in exceptional circumstances and with the consent of the Board, the Bank could consider increasing
exposure to a borrower up to a maximum of a further 5.0% of the Bank‘s capital funds, subject to such borrower ‘s
consent to appropriate disclosure in the Bank‘s annual report. Exposure to any single business group may not exceed
40.0% (extendable to 50.0% in case of infrastructure projects) of the Bank‘s capital funds.

The Bank believes it has the policies and procedures in place to manage its risks and anticipate future risk based on
RBI guidelines and what management believes are international best practices. The primary responsibility for the
management of risk rests with the Board which has approved the policies and organizational structure for various
risk management measures.

Credit Risk Management

The Bank is exposed to credit risk due to the possibility that a borrower or counterparty may fail to meet its
obligations in accordance with agreed terms, principally the failure to make required payments on loans or
other obligations due to the Bank. Credit risk management aims at building up sound asset quality and the long-term
profitability of the institution. It involves activities such as risk identification, risk measurement, risk mitigation
and risk-based pricing. The Bank manages its portfolio of loan assets with a view to limiting concentrations in
terms of risk quality, geography, industry, maturity and large exposure aggregates by providing a centralized focus
to its credit portfolio and instituting a suitable mechanism for its management.

Credit risk management uses credit audit and inspection systems to determine and manage risk exposure levels
across the Bank. This is an integral part of the Bank‘s risk management system and helps identify early warning
signals of potential problems. The following exposure levels are currently prescribed by the Bank:

Individuals as borrowers Maximum aggregate credit facilities (fund-based


and non-fund-based) of Rs. 250 million (other
than against specified securities for which there is no
restriction)

Non-corporates (Partnerships, Associations, etc.) Maximum aggregate credit facilities (fund-based and
non-fund-based) of Rs. 1 billion (other than against
specified securities for which there is no restriction). The
above ceiling will also be applicable to the aggregate
of all facilities sanctioned to partnership firms which
have identical partners

Corporates Maximum aggregate credit facilities in accordance


with prudential norms of the RBI on exposures

The Bank‘s current credit policy prescribes that the Bank‘s aggregate term loans with residual maturity of over
three years should not in the aggregate exceed 35.0% of the total domestic advances of the Bank. The Bank‘s
policy is to restrict fund-based exposure to a particular industry to a maximum of 15.0% of the Bank‘s total
fund-based exposure. In addition, the Bank restricts term loan exposure to infrastructure projects to 15.0% of the
Bank‘s total domestic advances.

113
The Bank‘s exposure to certain ―sensitive sectors,‖ including capital markets, real estate, and sensitive commodities
(as prescribed by the RBI) are subject to the following limitations:

• Real estate: the Bank‘s exposure shall not exceed 20.0% of the Bank‘s total domestic advances.

• Sensitive commodities: the Bank‘s exposure shall not exceed 5.0% of the Bank‘s net worth as of the end of
the Bank‘s previous Fiscal Year.

• Capital markets: the Bank‘s exposure shall not exceed 40.0% of its net worth (as specified and defined by
the RBI) as of the end of its previous fiscal year, as applied to both fund-based and non-fund-based
exposure to all forms of capital market products.

The Bank‘s major exposures to individual borrowers and borrower groups are consolidated and disclosed to the
Board at their regular meetings. The Credit Risk Management Department conducts studies on various industries
to examine the quantitative and qualitative measures that should be considered in regard to the handling of
the Bank‘s current exposure to various industries. These studies are also meant to provide information to help
the Bank determine the merits in taking on additional exposure to various industries.

The Bank has credit risk assessment models in place based on the activity of the borrower including
manufacturing, trade, non-banking financial corporations, banks and primary dealers. Although not currently
required by the RBI, the Bank‘s risk assessment model for manufacturing entities complies with the Advanced
Internal Ratings Based (―AIRB‖) approach.

The Asset Liability Management Committee

The Bank has an asset liability management policy which prescribes various prudential limits for liquidity risk and
interest rate risk management. ALCO has the job of managing liquidity and interest rate risk. To this end, ALCO
manages and controls the structure of assets, liabilities and interest rate sensitivity with a view to maximizing profits.
It also ensures capital adequacy and sufficient liquidity. The Bank has made significant efforts to improve its market
risk management capabilities and fine-tune its management information systems. These efforts have included the
implementation of the risk management module of the Oracle financial services application, an asset liability
management software solution for strengthening the risk management process.
Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk comprises the risk of not being able to raise necessary funds from the market to meet operational and
debt servicing requirements. An important objective of the Bank‘s liquidity management is to maintain an
optimal asset to liability maturity portfolio that minimizes liquidity risk while maximizing profit. The Bank
ensures that proactive steps are taken to meet all impending liquidity requirements. Borrowing is also timed in
consideration of overall market liquidity and not just requirements of funds. The Bank also maintains a
reasonable level of investment in liquid securities which can be liquidated at short notice.

The Bank monitors its liquidity position through a structural liquidity gap analysis carried out daily in accordance
with RBI guidelines on asset liability management. The liquidity position is also monitored every two weeks
through a short-term dynamic liquidity analysis for the following three months based on business projections and a
review of the contingency funding plan at the end of each quarter. Finally, certain liquidity ratios are examined as
prescribed by the asset liability management policy to track the Bank‘s liquidity position as of a particular date.

The Bank has an extensive branch network and therefore holds deposits from a large number of retail customers.
These deposits provide a stable resource base. In addition, liquid assets in the form of cash, balances with other
banks and short-term securities help to meet the liquidity requirements of the Bank.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Since the Bank‘s balance sheet consists predominantly of assets and liabilities denominated in Rupees, movements
in domestic interest rates constitute the main source of interest rate risk. The Bank‘s portfolio of traded and other
debt securities and its loan portfolio are impacted by movements in interest rates. Exposure to fluctuations in

114
interest rates is measured primarily by way of a gap analysis, providing a static view of the maturity and repricing
characteristics of the Bank‘s balance sheet positions. An interest rate gap report is prepared by classifying all assets
and liabilities into various time period categories according to contracted maturities or anticipated repricing dates.
The difference in the amount of assets and liabilities maturing or being repriced in any given time period gives the
Bank an indication of the extent of exposure to potential impact on repriced assets and liabilities. The interest rate
gap report is prepared monthly as of the last reporting Friday of each month, in accordance with RBI
requirements. In addition, exposure to interest rates is measured through a sensitivity analysis which examines
the impact of interest rate movements on the Bank‘s financial condition. Further, a duration gap analysis is also
prepared to measure the impact of interest rates on the market value of both the equity and debt portfolios.

Market Risk Management

Market risk refers to potential losses arising from volatility in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices
and commodity prices. Market risk arises with respect to many types of financial instruments, including securities,
foreign exchange contracts, equity instruments and derivative instruments, as well as balance sheet gaps. The
objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Bank‘s earnings and equity to loss and
to reduce the Bank‘s exposure to the volatility inherent in financial instruments.

Risk measurement and monitoring entails the valuation and marking-to-market of market risk exposures, updating
rates and models used for valuations and preparing simulations showing effects of possible changes in market
conditions. Finally, the monitoring function extends to the examination and approval of the Bank‘s treasury group‘s
new products. Market risks related to treasury operations are regularly and independently identified, measured, and
monitored by the Market Risk Management Department.

The Bank deals in over-the-counter (―OTC‖) interest rate and currency derivatives as well as exchange-traded
interest rate futures and currency futures. Interest rate derivatives offered by the Bank are Rupee interest rate swaps,
foreign currency interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Currency derivatives offered by the Bank
include currency swaps, Rupee dollar options and cross-currency options. Derivatives are also used by the Bank
both for trading as well as for hedging balance sheet items.

Derivative transactions carry market risk, such as the probable loss the Bank may incur as a result of adverse
movements in interest rates/exchange rates and credit risk or the probable loss the Bank may incur if the
counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Bank‘s policy for derivatives is approved by the Board and
prescribes market risk parameters such as cut-loss triggers and open position limits as well as customer eligibility
criteria including credit rating and length of relationship, among others, for entering into derivative transactions.
Credit risk is controlled by entering into derivative transactions only with counterparties satisfying the criteria
prescribed in the policy.

The Value at Risk (―VAR‖) framework is applied on an asset class basis as well as on a diversified
portfolio level. VAR is monitored daily and limits are revised quarterly. The model is validated monthly by back
testing. The VAR is defined as the predicted worst-case loss at a specified confidence level over a certain period of
time. Stress testing is conducted at regular intervals to evaluate the potential vulnerability of its portfolios to some
unlikely but possible events or movements in financial variables such as interest rates, share prices, foreign
exchange rates and equity prices.

Operational Risk Management

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or
from external events. Operational risk includes legal risk but excludes strategic and reputational risk and it seeks to
identify the cause of a loss. Operational risk has four principal causes: People, Process, Systems and External
factors. For a discussion on the Bank‘s vulnerability to operational risk, see ―Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Bank‘s Business — There is operational risk associated with the banking industry which, if and when realized, may
have an adverse impact on its business.‖

The operational risk management policy of the Bank establishes a risk framework that guides the Bank in the
management of operational risk and allocation of capital for potential losses. This policy requires that all functional

115
areas, departments and business units of the Bank identify, assess, measure, mitigate, monitor, control and report
on their significant operational risks in a manner that is consistent across the Bank. This policy applies to all
business and functional areas within the Bank. The Bank‘s operational risk management policy is supplemented by
operational systems, procedures and guidelines, which are periodically updated by the Bank.

The objective of the Bank‘s operational risk management policy is to improve controls and mitigate risks,
improve capital management, create awareness of operational risk throughout the Bank, assign risk ownership,
comply with regulations, improve the quality of products and services as well as mitigate the impact and probability
of loss.

The following measures are being used by the Bank to control and mitigate operational risks:

• Internal controls and systems;

• Training;

• Reward systems;

• Placement and rotation of staff;

• Monitoring of frauds;

• Disciplinary proceedings systems; and

• Insurance.

Operational Controls and Procedures in the Bank

The Bank has issued detailed procedural guidelines for processing various banking transactions. Amendments and
modifications to these guidelines are implemented through circulars sent to all offices. Guidelines and instructions
are also disseminated through job cards, e-circulars, and training programs.

The Bank has also issued necessary instructions throughout the Bank regarding the delegation of financial powers,
which detail sanctioning powers of various levels of officials for different types of financial transactions.

The Bank‘s inspection and management audit (―I&MA‖) department has zonal inspection offices located
throughout the country. Inspection officials periodically monitor adherence to controls and procedures and report
deviations to facilitate corrective action. Besides I&MA officials, each Circle is assigned an internal audit team
and concurrent auditors are assigned to all large branches. A statutory audit is conducted by external auditors
after the annual closing.

Operational Controls and Procedures in Centralized Processing Cells

In an effort to improve customer service at all centers, the Bank conducts central transaction processing. The
centralized processing cells process clearing checks, make inter-city check collections and engage in back-office
support for account opening, standing instructions, non-resident Indian services and automatic renewal of deposits.

Operational Systems and Controls in Treasury

Treasury‘s front office, back office and mid-office (market risk management department) are fully segregated.
While the front office and the independent back offices report to the Head of Treasury, the Market Risk
Management Department functions independently from Treasury and is under the control of the chief risk officer.

The Bank‘s front office Treasury operations are integrated and comprise the Rupee desk, foreign exchange desk and
the derivatives desk. The front office is supported by treasury marketing units located in seven centers across the
country. While the Rupee desk operations consist of fixed income securities, equities and inter-bank money

116
markets, the foreign exchange desk operations consist of inter-bank, merchant and proprietary transactions. The
derivatives operations include swaps, options and structured products. Dealers enter into trades with counterparties
after analyzing market conditions and taking views on price movements. After completion of a deal, the deal then
flows to the back office for validation, settlement and accounting.

The front office regularly discusses strategies on the basis of market forecasts, liquidity conditions and publicly
available information. Trading is conducted in strict accordance with trading policies, a dealing manual and
regulatory guidelines.

The Treasury back office undertakes settlement of securities and funds based on guidelines stipulated by the manual
of operations. Procedures followed by the back office to minimize operational risks in Treasury include: validation
of deals entered into by the front office, deal confirmations with counterparties, receipt and checking of broker
contract notes, monitoring of receipt and payments on due dates, monitoring of transfer and receipt of securities into
accounts where dematerialized securities are held (―demat accounts‖) and reconciliation of accounts.

The Market Risk Management Department uses various tools for monitoring market risk. These tools include:
exposure limits, counterparty limits, position limits, gap limits, broker transaction limits, duration and VAR limits.
The Market Risk Management Department marks to market various positions and breaches, if any, are promptly
reported.

Operational Systems and Controls in Global Markets

Global Market‘s front office, back office and mid-office and Market Risk Management Department (―MRMD‖) are
fully segregated. While the front office, the independent back office and mid office report to the Head of
Global Markets, the MRMD functions independently from Global Markets and is under the control of the chief risk
officer.

The Bank‘s front office Global Markets operations are integrated and comprise the Rupee desk, foreign exchange
desk and the derivatives desk. The front office is supported by treasury marketing units located in seven centres
across the country. While the Rupee desk operations consist of fixed income securities, equities and inter-bank
money markets, the foreign exchange desk operations consist of inter-bank, merchant and proprietary transactions.
The derivatives operations include swaps, options and structured products. Dealers enter into trades with
counterparties after analyzing market conditions and taking views on price movements. After completion of a deal,
the deal then flows to the back office for validation, settlement and accounting.

The front office regularly discusses strategies on the basis of market forecasts, liquidity conditions and
publicly available information. Trading is conducted in strict accordance with trading policies, a dealing manual
and regulatory guidelines.

The Global Markets back office undertakes settlement of securities and funds based on guidelines stipulated
by the manual of operations. Procedures followed by the back office to minimize operational risks in
Global Markets include: validation of deals entered into by the front office, deal confirmations with
counterparties, receipt and checking of broker contract notes, monitoring of receipt and payments on due dates,
monitoring of transfer and receipt of securities into accounts where dematerialized securities are held (―demat
accounts‖) and reconciliation of accounts.

The MRMD uses various tools for monitoring market risk. These tools include: exposure limits, counterparty
limits, position limits, gap limits, broker transaction limits, modified duration and VAR limits. The MRMD
marks to market various positions and breaches, if any, are promptly reported.

Further, an independent mid office has been set up reporting to Head of Global Markets which supports the Risk
Management function.

Operational Controls and Procedures in Retail Asset Operations

The Bank‘s retail asset operations are spread out geographically across India and the Bank has centralized

117
processing cells for retail assets in most cities across India. These centers carry out disbursement of
approved credit facilities, accounting, reconciliation and repayment management activities of retail assets.
All operational and other risks are identified, mitigants designed and measures of performance specified to
ensure adherence. Internal auditors monitor adherence to controls and procedures and report deviations to facilitate
corrective action.

Operational Controls and Procedures for Corporate Banking

The Bank‘s corporate accounts group operates a central functioning office at Mumbai as well as branches at
Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata and New Delhi. These offices are jointly responsible for operations relating to
trade finance, cash management and other general banking operations.

Operational Controls and Procedures for Rural Banking

All rural branches are fully computerized. Operational risks pertaining to rural and agricultural branches are
identified, assessed, monitored, controlled and mitigated by the respective controlling offices. Risk and control self
assessment exercises are conducted at branch level for the purpose of identifying and assessing operational risks.
The Bank‘s rural asset operations are spread across India. Besides the respective controllers, officials from the
Bank‘s Inspection and Audit and circle audit departments also visit all rural branches periodically to conduct a
detailed audit for monitoring the adherence to controls and procedures as well as report irregularities within the
branches. A statutory audit is also conducted at branch level after the annual closing.

Anti-Money Laundering Measures adopted by the Bank

The Bank has established a policy implementing know your customer (―KYC‖) standards and anti-money
laundering (―AML‖) measures. Detailed procedural guidelines on KYC and AML measures have been issued
to all branches and offices of the Bank, incorporating the following four key elements of the policy:

• Customer acceptance policy

• Customer identification procedures

• Monitoring of transactions

• Risk management

The Bank has acquired and implemented an AML software solution, which is being used for transaction monitoring
purposes. Cash transaction reports are generated through the software and suspicious transactions alerts are
generated based on parameters and thresholds fixed by the Bank. Suspicious transactions alerts are then analysed at
KYC/AML cell for finalization and submission of suspicious transactions reports by the Principal Officer in
appropriate cases. This solution enables automatic generation of various reports, assist branch officers with the
identification of customers and classification of customers by risk profile as well as monitoring and reporting
of suspicious transactions. KYC guidelines are covered as part of regular training programs for various
staff categories by the Bank training institutes. A list of terrorist organizations, periodically updated by the United
Nations, is circulated to all branches of the Bank. The Bank is closely monitoring the implementation of
the KYC guidelines and AML procedures through a system of education and monitoring by utilizing various
training forums as well as an inspection and audit process.

Country Risk and Bank Exposure

The Bank has a country risk management policy in accordance with RBI guidelines as well as a Board approved
bank exposure model for foreign banks and non-banking financial intermediaries. These policies outline robust risk
management models with prescriptions for country, bank, product and counterparty exposure limits. Considering
the global economic turmoil, both country and bank exposure limits are monitored and reviewed on a
regular basis. The exposure ceilings and classifications are moderated in line with the dynamics of their risk
profiles. Corrective steps are periodically initiated to safeguard the Bank‘s interests.

Group Risk Management

The Group is recognized as a major financial conglomerate and as a systemically important financial intermediary
with significant presence in various financial markets. Accordingly, it is imperative, both from a regulatory
perspective as well as from the Group‘s own internal control and risk management perspective, to oversee the
functioning of individual entities within the Group and periodically assess the Group‘s overall risk level. This
oversight allows for optimal utilization of capital resources and the adoption of a uniform set of risk practices across
the Group.

The Group risk management policy evolved with a view to effectively monitoring risk management practices
amongst all Group members where the Bank holds an equity share of 30% or more and exercises control over
management. It aims to put in place standardised risk management processes across the Group, so as to provide an
integrated view of the range of risks the Group faces and to use risk-taking as a strategic means to strengthen
competitive position and create value.

The Group risk management policy applies to all Associate Banks, banking and non-banking subsidiaries and joint
ventures of the Group under the jurisdiction of specified regulators. These entities must also comply with relevant
accounting standards. Currently, the Group includes the Bank, six domestic banking entities, six overseas banking
entities and nine domestic non-banking entities engaged in merchant banking, asset management, life insurance,
general insurance, factoring, credit cards, pension funds, share brokerage and custodial services.

The Group risk management policy focuses on (a) understanding the material risks faced by each Group member
and the potential impact thereof and (b) devising methods of mitigating those risks effectively. The policy
recommends formulating a risk governance structure, fixing the risk appetite of the Group, employing international
best practices and fixing internal exposure limits.

In order to allow entities within the Group to assess their material risks and adequacy of their risk management
processes and capital, all Group members, including non-banking subsidiaries, are encouraged to align their policies
and operations with the Group and in accordance with Basel prescriptions and international best practices. Further, a
Group Risk Management Committee has also been constituted to oversee matters relating to Group risk ensuring
periodic review of risk policy and compliance.

A Group Risk Management Department supports the Group Risk Management Committee by periodically assessing
and reporting the overall level of risk in the Group. The department also conducts workshops on specific risk related
issues for risk managers across the Group and provides a forum for the sharing of risk-related practices information
among Group members.

The internal capital adequacy assessment process (―ICAAP‖) is carried out at the Group level annually, in
accordance with the Basel II framework and Reserve Bank of India guidelines, and entails identification, assessment,
measurement and control of all material risks facing the Group, of the quantum of capital allocated for each risk, and
of the capital adequacy of the Group.

Credit Management Policies and Procedures

Credit Policy and Procedures Committee

The CPPC is headed by the Chairman of the Bank and tasked with handling issues relating to credit policy and
procedures and to analyze, manage and control credit risk on a Bank-wide basis. The CPPC formulates clear
policies on standards for presentation of credit proposals, financial covenants, rating standards and benchmarks,
delegations of credit approving powers, prudential limits on large credit exposures, asset concentrations,
standards for loan collateral, portfolio management, loan review mechanisms, risk concentrations, risk
monitoring and evaluation, pricing of loans, provisioning and regulatory and legal compliance.

The Bank‘s credit risk management process is articulated in its credit policy, which is approved by the Board. The

119
credit policy recognizes the need for measures aimed at better risk management and avoidance of concentration of
credit risks. With this objective, limits have been prescribed for the Bank‘s exposure to any single borrower, group
of borrowers or specific industries or sectors.

The credit policy embodies the Bank‘s approach to sanctioning, managing and monitoring credit risk and aims at
making the systems and controls effective. It is guided by the best practices of commercial prudence, high
standards of ethical norms and the requirement of national priorities. It also aims at striking a measured balance
between underwriting assets of high quality and customer oriented selling.

Accordingly, the credit policy sets out guidelines on the following aspects, in accordance with RBI and Government
directives:

• Exposure levels for industries, sectors and credit facilities

• Credit appraisal standards

• Documentation standards

• Pricing policy

• Review, renewal and takeover of advances

• Credit monitoring and supervision

• Credit risk assessment

• NPA management

• Export credit

• Approach to lending to priority sectors and the services sector.

All revisions in policies and procedures are carried out with the approval of the CPPC and the Board.

Credit Approval and Monitoring

The Bank‘s credit approval process involves multiple levels of loan approval authority, depending on the
loan amount and other factors such as the nature of the credit, the conditions of the transaction and whether or not
the loan is secured.

At each level of authority, loan applications are reviewed on the basis of the feasibility of the project from a
technical, financial and economic point of view, and to ensure that the loan application falls within the realm of fair
banking risk according to the probability of recovery. In conducting such a review the following factors are
considered: the borrower ‘s profile, management structure, past financial performance and credit ratings, the
Bank‘s exposure to the company, industrial group and/or industry in light of prudential exposure norms, industry
outlook and financial projections for the borrower company and/or project. In the case of overseas financing,
appraisals also include an assessment of the overseas venture in terms of commercial risk, political risk,
country risk, and currency risk, an assessment of the relevant international market, an analysis of the benefits from
the overseas venture likely to accrue to the Indian promoter, and compliance with regulatory guidelines. The Bank
may also conduct a sensitivity analysis which includes variables such as debt servicing ratios and internal rates of
return, and study the likely impact of changes in, among other things, price/unit cost.

The Bank has internal guidelines that limit the amounts of loans that can be authorized by various functionaries or
credit committees. Loan amounts differ depending on certain factors, such as the type of borrower, rating of
borrower or type of facilities.

120
The Bank disburses funds to a borrower in strict compliance with the terms of the sanction, after all necessary
documentation has been executed. Specific approval is sought from the original sanctioning authority, or as
delegated in accordance with the policy approved by the ECCB or the CPPC before deviating from the
terms of the sanction, if any.

Examples of the types of procedures in place for various finance divisions include:

Corporate Finance Procedures

As part of its corporate loan approval procedures, the Bank carries out a detailed analysis of an applicant‘s funding
requirements including normal capital expenditure, working capital requirements and liquidity. The Bank‘s
corporate term loans are generally available for periods of three to eight years. The Bank‘s corporate term loans
may carry fixed or floating rates, befitting the requirements of the client and the risk profile. The repayment plan is
generally linked to the cash flow of the company. The Bank‘s credit analysts gauge the applicant‘s particular
funding requirements and evaluate the company‘s creditworthiness, factoring in the cash flows generated by
it. Approved facilities will lapse within six months of the date of approval, unless they are used within that time.

Retail Loan Procedures

The Bank‘s retail loan customers are typically middle- or high-income, salaried or self- employed
individuals. The Bank‘s retail credit product operations are sub-divided into various product lines. Each product
line is further sub-divided into separate sales, marketing and credit groups. The Bank has an established process for
giving and collecting retail credits. In most cases, the Bank requires a contribution from the borrower and the loans
are secured by the asset financed.

Working Capital Finance Procedures

The Bank carries out a detailed analysis of its borrowers‘ working capital requirements. The Bank‘s dedicated
credit team has a deep understanding of the intricacies of various industries and is experienced in evaluating the
business potential of companies. The credit team assesses the customer ‘s specific credit requirements and
customizes financial solutions to suit the business requirements of the customer and its risk profile. Working
capital finance limits are normally valid for one year and repayable on demand. Approved facilities will lapse
within three months of the date of approval unless they are used within that time.

Project Finance and Leasing Procedures

The Bank believes it has a strong framework for the appraisal and execution of project finance and leasing
proposals and that this framework allows for risk identification, allocation and mitigation, and helps minimize
residual risk. The Bank has formed a dedicated Project Finance unit to assess credit proposals and extend term loans
for large industrial and infrastructure projects. The Project Finance unit has a particular focus on core infrastructure
sectors of the Indian economy such as power, telecommunications, roads & bridges, ports and urban infrastructure,
and it has also expanded to other sectors such as steel, Oil & Gases, Non-ferrous metals, Chemicals, Fertilizers, etc.
The project finance team examines projects whose total cost is at least Rs. 2 billion (Rs. 3 billion in case of road or
thermal power projects), with debt exposure in excess of Rs. 500 million. Project finance cells have been set up in
two centres to tap business potential in their area. The thresholds are as under: Road – All road projects with project
cost of Rs. 500 million to Rs. 5 billion and other infrastructure projects with project cost between Rs. 500 million to
Rs. 2 billion.

Apart from this, project term loans for medium sized projects and smaller clients are delivered through the
Corporate Banking Group, Mid-Corporate Group and the National Banking Group. The loans are approved on the
basis of in-house appraisal of the cost and viability of the venture as well as the credit standing of promoters.
Project finance is typically structured as long-term loans. Maturity periods and repayment modes are structured in
line with the specific aspects of each project and industry, factoring in a timeframe for the venture to generate a
stable revenue stream.

The Finance and Leasing unit is dedicated to lease financing for procuring equipment for projects or plants. The

121
Bank enters into lease agreements as stand-alone contracts or as part of a structured package. The Bank typically
undertakes leasing contracts with a minimum ticket size of Rs. 50 million, generally restricted to 50.0% of
the total net worth of the lessee. Lease contracts are usually structured for a tenor of five to seven years. The Bank,
however, has stopped encouraging new leases due to a change in tax law that has resulted in unfavorable tax
treatment with respect to such lease contracts. Leasing activities are progressively being wound up and the Bank
does not expect leasing to comprise a significant part of its activities in the future.

Internal Controls

The Bank has internal control systems with well-defined responsibilities at each level. The Bank mainly carries out
two streams of audits — Inspection and Audit and Management Audit, covering different facets of internal audit
requirements. In addition, Credit Audit is conducted for units with large credit limits and Concurrent Audit is
carried out at branches with large deposit, advances and other risk exposures and selected business process re-
engineering (―BPR‖) outfits. The information systems audit of branches is handled by incorporating the necessary
checklists and value statements in the audit report formats of the branches. Expenditure Audit, involving scrutiny of
accounts and correctness of expenditure incurred, is conducted at Corporate Centre establishments, local head
offices, zonal offices, on-locale regional offices, regional business offices and lead bank offices. To verify the
rectification of irregularities by the Branches, audit of compliance at select branches is also undertaken. The
Department is headed by the Deputy Managing Director who is functionally independent and reports to the
Bank‘s Audit Committee of the Board (―ACB‖).

Risk-Focused Internal Audit

The inspection system plays an important and critical role in introducing international best practices to the
internal audit function, which is regarded as a critical component of corporate governance. Inspection and
Audit undertakes a critical review of the entire operation of audited units. Risk Focused Internal Audit, an adjunct
to risk-based supervision as per RBI directives, has been introduced in the Bank‘s audit system.

Inspection and Audit of Branches

All domestic branches have been segregated into three groups on the basis of business profile and risk exposures.
Audit of Group I branches and credit oriented BPR entities (excepting SARC) is administered by the Central
Audit Unit (―CAU‖) at the Inspection Audit Department and headed by a General Manager (CAU). Audit of
branches in Group II, Group III and other BPR entities are conducted by ten Zonal Inspection Offices located
at various centers, each of which is headed by a General Manager (I&A). The audit of branches and BPR entities is
conducted as per the periodicity approved by the ACB which is well within RBI norms. During the period from
April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, 7,217 domestic branches (138 from Group I, 1,577 from Group II and 5,502 from
Group III) were audited. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, 1,972 domestic branches (Group I: 23, Group II:
314 & Group III: 1,635) were audited.

Audit of BPR Entities

Following the implementation of various BPR initiatives, the audit process for ten BPR entities has been developed
and introduced. Taking into account the process involved in each of the entities, exclusive Audit Report Formats,
including appropriate audit queries, have been introduced. Entities are evaluated on a range of risk parameters.
During the year ended March 31, 2010, 311 BPR entities (29 from Group I and 282 from Group II) were audited.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, 122 BPR entities (36 from Group I and 86 from Group II) were audited.

Management Audit

The Bank‘s management audit focuses on the effectiveness of risk management in the Bank‘s processes and
procedures. Management audit is comprised of Corporate Center establishments, circles, zonal offices, on-
locale regional offices, regional branch offices, associate banks, subsidiaries (both domestic and foreign), joint
ventures (both domestic and foreign), regional rural banks sponsored by the Bank, representative offices abroad
and exchange companies managed by the Bank. During the year ended March 31, 2010, management audits were
carried out at 19 domestic offices or establishments. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, management audit of 4

122
domestic offices/establishments was carried out.

Credit Audit

The credit audit aims to achieve continuous improvement in the quality of the commercial credit portfolio of the
Bank by critically examining individual commercial loans with exposures of Rs. 50 million and above. The audit,
which has been aligned with the risk-focused internal audit, examines the probability of default, identifies risks and
suggests risk mitigation measures. The Bank uses the credit audit to analyze risk and to initiate early remedial
actions to improve the quality of the credit portfolio. During the year ended March 31, 2010, on-site credit
audits were conducted in 426 branches, covering 4,727 accounts with aggregate exposure of Rs. 4,172.9 billion,
and off-site credit audits were conducted in all 14 circles, (including MCROs/CAG functioning in the geographical
area of the respective circles) covering 3,533 domestic accounts with aggregate exposure of Rs. 1,940.0 billion and
161 foreign accounts with aggregate exposure of USD 4,363 million at the Bank‘s foreign offices. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2010, on-site credit audit was conducted in 105 branches (1,533 accounts with aggregate
exposures of Rs. 1,571.4 billion). Off-site credit audit was conducted in 9 circles, covering 965 domestic accounts
with aggregate exposure of Rs. 467.5 billion.

Information System Audit

Since April 2006, all branches of the Bank have been subjected to an information system audit to assess the IT-
related risks as part of the audit for each branch. A ―Handbook on Self Audit of Information Systems‖ was
introduced to facilitate branches‘ evaluation of the efficiency level of IT systems. The information system audit of
centralized IT establishments commenced in January 2007. During the year ended March 31, 2010, information
system audits of 25 centralized IT establishments were completed. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010 IS audit
of 6 centralised IT establishments was completed.

Concurrent Audit System

The concurrent audit system (―CAS‖) monitors the establishment of sound internal accounting functions, effective
controls and operational oversights. The Inspection and Audit department prescribes the processes, guidelines
and formats for the conduct of concurrent audit at branches and BPR entities. Branches covered by the CAS are
reviewed on an ongoing basis as per RBI directives so as to cover 30-40% of the Bank‘s deposits and 60-70% of the
Bank‘s advances and other risk exposures. As of June 30, 2010, the system covered 34.6% of deposits and 69.6% of
advances and other risk exposures of the Bank.

SCHEDULE 17 — PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified for
derivatives and foreign currency transactions, as enumerated in Part C below. They conform to Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India, which comprise the statutory provisions, guidelines of regulatory authorities,
Reserve Bank of India (RBI), accounting standards/guidance notes issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India (ICAI), and the practices prevalent in the banking industry in India.
B. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements and
the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in the
preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.
Any revision to the accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Revenue recognition
1.1 Income and expenditure are accounted on accrual basis, except otherwise stated below. In respect of banks’ foreign
offices, income is recognised as per the local laws of the country in which the respective foreign office is located.
1.2 Interest income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account as it accrues except (i) income from non-performing
assets (NPAs), comprising of advances, leases and investments, which is recognised upon realisation, as per the
prudential norms prescribed by the RBI/ respective country regulators (hereafter collectively referred to as
Regulatory Authorities), (ii) interest on application money on investments (iii) overdue interest on investments
and bills discounted, (iv) Income on Rupee Derivatives designated as “Trading”.
1.3 Profit or loss on sale of investments is credited/debited to Profit and Loss Account (Sale of Investments). Profit
on sale of investments in the ‘Held to Maturity’ category shall be appropriated net of applicable taxes to ‘Capital
Reserve Account’. Loss on sale will be recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.
1.4 Income from finance leases is calculated by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the net investment
outstanding on the lease, over the primary lease period. Leases effective from April 1, 2001 are accounted as
advances at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The lease rentals are apportioned between principal
and finance income based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic return on the net investment outstanding in
respect of finance leases. The principal amount is utilized for reduction in balance of net investment in lease and
finance income is reported as interest income.
1.5 Income (other than interest) on investments in “Held to Maturity” (HTM) category acquired at a discount to the
face value, is recognised as follows:
a) On Interest bearing securities, it is recognised only at the time of sale/redemption.
b) On zero-coupon securities, it is accounted for over the balance tenor of the security on a constant yield
basis.
1.6 Dividend is accounted on an accrual basis where the right to receive the dividend is established.
1.7 All other commission and fee incomes are recognised on their realisation except for (i) Guarantee commission on
deferred payment guarantees, which is spread over the period of the guarantee and (ii) Commission on Government
Business, which is recognised as it accrues.
1.8 One time Insurance Premium paid under Special Home Loan Scheme (December 2008 to June 2009) is amortised
over average loan period of 15 years.
2. Investments
Investments are accounted for in accordance with the extant regulatory guidelines. The bank follows trade date method
for accounting of its investments.

Investments are classified into 3 categories, viz. Held to Maturity, Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories
(hereafter called categories). Under each of these categories, investments are further classified into the following
six groups:
i. Government Securities,
ii. Other Approved Securities,
iii. Shares,
iv. Debentures and Bonds,
v. Subsidiaries/Joint ventures and
vi. Others.
2.2 Basis of classification
i. Investments that the Bank intends to hold till maturity are classified as Held to Maturity.
ii. Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified as
Held for Trading.
iii. Investments, which are not classified in the above two categories, are classified as Available for Sale.
iv. An investment is classified as Held to Maturity, Available for Sale or Held for Trading at the time of its
purchase and subsequent shifting amongst categories is done in conformity with regulatory guidelines.
v. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are classified under Held to Maturity.
2.3 Valuation
i. In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:
(a) Brokerage/commission received on subscriptions is reduced from the cost.
(b) Brokerage, commission, securities transaction tax etc. paid in connection with acquisition of
investments are expensed upfront and excluded from cost.
(c) Broken period interest paid/received on debt instruments is treated as interest expense/income and is
excluded from cost/sale consideration.
(d) Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method.
(e) The transfer of a security amongst the above three categories is accounted for at the least of acquisition
cost/book value/market value on the date of transfer, and the depreciation, if any, on such transfer is
fully provided for.
ii. Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers are valued at carrying cost.
iii. Held to Maturity category: Each scrip under Held to Maturity category is carried at its acquisition cost or
at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over the face value. Any premium on acquisition is amortised
over the remaining maturity period of the security on constant yield basis. Such amortisation of premium is
adjusted against income under the head “interest on investments”. A provision is made for diminution,
other than temporary. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (both in India and abroad)
are valued at historical cost except for investments in Regional Rural Banks, which are valued at carrying
cost (i.e book value).
iv. Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories: Each scrip in the above two categories is revalued at
the market price or fair value determined as per Regulatory guidelines, and only the net depreciation of
each group for each category is provided for and net appreciation, is ignored. On provision for depreciation,
the book value of the individual securities remains unchanged after marking to market.
v. Security receipts issued by an asset reconstruction company (ARC) are valued in accordance with the
guidelines applicable to non-SLR instruments. Accordingly, in cases where the security receipts issued by
the ARC are limited to the actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the
concerned scheme, the Net Asset Value, obtained from the ARC, is reckoned for valuation of such
investments.

F - 22
vi. Investments are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the RBI in
case of domestic offices and respective regulators in case of foreign offices. Investments of domestic offices
become non performing where:
(a) Interest/installment (including maturity proceeds) is due and remains unpaid for more than 90 days.
(b) In the case of equity shares, in the event the investment in the shares of any company is valued at
Re. 1 per company on account of the non availability of the latest balance sheet, those equity shares
would be reckoned as NPI.
(c) If any credit facility availed by the issuer is NPA in the books of the bank, investment in any of the
securities issued by the same issuer would also be treated as NPI and vice versa.
(d) The above would apply mutatis-mutandis to preference shares where the fixed dividend is not paid.
(e) The investments in debentures/bonds, which are deemed to be in the nature of advance, are also
subjected to NPI norms as applicable to investments.
(f) In respect of foreign offices, provisions for non performing investments are made as per the local
regulations or as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
vii. The Bank has adopted the Uniform Accounting Procedure prescribed by the RBI for accounting of Repo
and Reverse Repo transactions [other than transactions under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) with
the RBI]. Accordingly, the securities sold/purchased under Repo/Reverse repo are treated as outright sales/
purchases and accounted for in the Repo/Reverse Repo Accounts, and the entries are reversed on the date
of maturity. Costs and revenues are accounted as interest expenditure/income, as the case may be. Balance
in Repo/Reverse Repo Account is adjusted against the balance in the Investment Account.
viii. Securities purchased/sold under LAF with RBI are debited/credited to Investment Account and reversed
on maturity of the transaction. Interest expended/earned thereon is accounted for as expenditure/revenue.
3. Loans/Advances and Provisions thereon
3.1 Loans and Advances are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the
RBI. Loan assets become non-performing where:
i. In respect of term loan, interest and/or instalment of principal remains overdue for a period of more than 90
days;
ii. In respect of an Overdraft or Cash Credit advance, the account remains “out of order”, i.e. if the outstanding
balance exceeds the sanctioned limit/drawing power continuously for a period of 90 days, or if there are no
credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of balance-sheet, or if the credits are not adequate to cover
the interest due during the same period;
iii. In respect of bills purchased/discounted, the bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days;
iv. In respect of agricultural advances for short duration crops, where the instalment of principal or interest
remains overdue for 2 crop seasons;
v. In respect of agricultural advances for long duration crops, where the principal or interest remains overdue
for one crop season.
3.2 Non-Performing advances are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets, based on the following criteria
stipulated by RBI:
i. Sub-standard: A loan asset that has remained non-performing for a period less than or equal to 12 months.
ii. Doubtful: A loan asset that has remained in the sub-standard category for a period of 12 months.
iii. Loss: A loan asset where loss has been identified but the amount has not been fully written off.
3.3 Provisions are made for NPAs as per the extant guidelines prescribed by the regulatory authorities, subject to
minimum provisions as prescribed below by the RBI:
Substandard Assets: i. A general provision of 10%
ii. Additional provision of 10% for exposures which are unsecured ab-initio
(where realisable value of security is not more than 10 percent ab-initio)

F - 23
Doubtful Assets:
— Secured portion: i. Up to one year — 20%
ii. One to three years — 30%
iii. More than three years — 100%
— Unsecured portion 100%
Loss Assets: 100%
3.4 In respect of foreign offices, provisions for non performing advances are made as per the local regulations or as
per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
3.5 The sale of NPAs is accounted as per guidelines prescribed by the RBI, which requires provisions to be made for
any deficit (where sale price is lower than the net book value), while surplus (where sale price is higher than the
net book value) is ignored. Net book value is outstandings as reduced by specific provisions held and ECGC
claims received.
3.6 Advances are net of specific loan loss provisions, unrealised interest, ECGC claims received and bills rediscounted.
3.7 For restructured/rescheduled assets, provisions are made in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI, which
requires that the present value of future interest due as per the original loan agreement, compared with the present
value of the interest expected to be earned under the restructuring package, be provided in addition to provision
for NPAs. The provision for interest sacrifice, arising out of the above, is reduced from advances.
3.8 In the case of loan accounts classified as NPAs, an account may be reclassified as a performing account if it
conforms to the guidelines prescribed by the regulators.
3.9 Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years are recognised as revenue.
3.10 Unrealised Interest recognised in the previous year on advances which have become non-performing during the
current year, is provided for.
3.11 In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, general provisions are also made for standard assets as per the
extant guidelines prescribed by the RBI. The provisions on standard assets are not reckoned for arriving at net
NPAs. These provisions are reflected in Schedule 5 of the balance sheet under the head “Other Liabilities &
Provisions — Others.”
4. Floating Provisions
In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, the bank has an approved policy for creation and utilisation
of floating provisions separately for advances, investments and general purpose. The quantum of floating provisions
to be created would be assessed at the end of each financial year. The floating provisions would be utilised only for
contingencies under extra ordinary circumstances specified in the policy with prior permission of Reserve Bank of
India.
5. Provision for Country Exposure
In addition to the specific provisions held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for individual
country exposures (other than the home country). Countries are categorised into seven risk categories, namely,
insignificant, low, moderate, high, very high, restricted and off-credit, and provisioning made as per extant RBI guidelines.
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 maintained on such country exposures. The provision is reflected in schedule 5 of the balance sheet under
the “Other liabilities & Provisions — Others”.
6. Derivatives
6.1 The Bank enters into derivative contracts, such as foreign currency options, interest rate swaps, currency swaps,
and cross currency interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements in order to hedge on-balance sheet/off-balance
sheet assets and liabilities or for trading purposes. 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 the underlying
assets and accounted in accordance with the principles of hedge accounting.

F - 24
6.2 Derivative contracts classified as hedge are recorded on accrual basis. Hedge contracts are not marked to market
unless the underlying Assets/Liabilities are also marked to market.
6.3 Except as mentioned above, all other derivative contracts are marked to market as per the generally accepted
practices prevalent in the industry. In respect of derivative contracts that are marked to market, changes in the
market value are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period of change. Any receivable under derivatives
contracts, which remain overdue for more than 90 days, are reversed through profit and loss account.
6.4 Option premium paid or received is recorded in profit and loss account at the expiry of the option. The Balance in
the premium received on options sold and premium paid on options bought have been considered to arrive at
Mark to Market value for forex Over the Counter options.
6.5 Exchange Traded Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Futures entered into for trading purposes are valued at
prevailing market rates based on quoted and observable market prices and the resultant gains and losses are
recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.
7. Fixed Assets and Depreciation
7.1 Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
7.2 Cost includes cost of purchase and all expenditure such as site preparation, installation costs and professional
fees incurred on the asset before it is put to use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on assets put to use is
capitalised only when it increases the future benefits from such assets or their functioning capability.
7.3 The rates of depreciation and method of charging depreciation in respect of domestic operations are as under:
Sr. No. Description of fixed assets Method of charging depreciation Depreciation/am ortisation rate
1 Computers & ATM Straight Line Method 33.33% every year
2 Computer software forming Written Down Value Method 60%
an integral part of hardware
3 Computer Software which Straight Line Method 100%, in the year of acquisition
does not form an integral
part of hardware
4 Assets given on financial Straight Line Method At the rate prescribed under
lease up to 31st March 2001 Companies Act 1956
5 Other fixed assets Written Down Value Method At the rate prescribed under
Income-tax Rules 1962
7.4 In respect of assets acquired for domestic operations during the year, depreciation is charged for half an year in
respect of assets used for up to 182 days and for the full year in respect of assets used for more than 182 days,
except depreciation on computers, ATM and software, which is charged for the full year irrespective of the period
for which the asset was put to use.
7.5 Items costing less than Rs. 1,000 each are charged off in the year of purchase.
7.6 In respect of leasehold premises, the lease premium, if any, is amortised over the period of lease and the lease
rent is charged in the respective year.
7.7 In respect of assets given on lease by the Bank on or before 31st March 2001, the value of the assets given on
lease is disclosed as Leased Assets under fixed assets, and the difference between the annual lease charge (capital
recovery) and the depreciation is taken to Lease Equalisation Account.
7.8 In respect of fixed assets held at foreign offices, depreciation is provided as per the regulations/norms of the
respective countries.
8. Leases
The asset classification and provisioning norms applicable to advances, as laid down in Para 3 above, are applied to
financial leases also.
9. Impairment of Assets
Fixed Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances warrant that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the

F - 25
carrying amount of an asset to future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
10. Effect of changes in the foreign exchange rate
10.1 Foreign Currency Transactions
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by applying to
the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency on
the date of transaction.
ii. Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India
(FEDAI) closing spot/forward rates.
iii. Foreign currency non-monetary items, which are carried in terms at historical cost, are reported using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
iv. Contingent liabilities denominated in foreign currency are reported using the FEDAI closing spot rates.
v. Outstanding foreign exchange spot and forward contracts held for trading are revalued at the exchange
rates notified by FEDAI for specified maturities, and the resulting profit or loss is included in the Profit and
Loss account.
vi. Foreign exchange forward contracts which are not intended for trading and are outstanding at the balance
sheet date, are valued at the closing spot rate. The premium or discount arising at the inception of such a
forward exchange contract is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract.
vii. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded are recognised as income or as expense in the period in which they arise.
viii. Gains/Losses on account of changes in exchange rates of open position in currency futures trades are
settled with the exchange clearing house on daily basis and such gains/losses are recognised in the profit
and loss account.
10.2 Foreign Operations
Foreign Branches of the Bank and Offshore Banking Units have been classified as Non-integral Operations and
Representative Offices have been classified as Integral Operations.
a. Non-integral Operations
i. Both monetary and non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities including contingent liabilities
of non-integral foreign operations are translated at closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the
balance sheet date.
ii. Income and expenditure of non-integral foreign operations are translated at quarterly average closing
rates.
iii. Exchange differences arising on net investment in non-integral foreign operations are accumulated in
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve until the disposal of the net investment.
iv. The Assets and Liabilities of foreign offices in foreign currency (other than local currency of the
foreign offices) are translated into local currency using spot rates applicable to that country.
b. Integral Operations
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by applying
to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign
currency on the date of transaction.
ii. Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of integral foreign operations are translated at closing
exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date and the resulting profit/loss is included
in the profit and loss account.
iii. Foreign currency non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost are reported using
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

11. Employee Benefits
11.1 Short Term Employee Benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits, such as medical benefits, casual leave etc. which are
expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the period when
the employee renders the service.
11.2 Post Employment Benefits
i. Defined Benefit Plan
a. The Bank operates a Provident Fund scheme. All eligible employees are entitled to receive benefits
under the Bank’s Provident Fund scheme. The Bank contributes monthly at a determined rate (currently
10% of employee’s basic pay plus eligible allowance). These contributions are remitted to a trust
established for this purpose and are charged to Profit and Loss Account. The trust funds are retained
as deposits in the bank. The bank is liable for annual contributions and interest on deposits held by
the bank, which is payable at Government specified minimum rate of interest on provident fund
balances of Government Employees. The bank recognises such annual contributions and interest as
an expense in the year to which they relate.
b. The bank operates gratuity and pension schemes which are defined benefit plans.
c. The Bank provides for gratuity to all eligible employees. The benefit is in the form of lump sum
payments to vested employees on retirement, on death while in employment, or on termination of
employment, for an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each completed year of
service, subject to a maximum amount of Rs. 350,000. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of
service. The Bank makes annual contributions to a fund administered by trustees based on an
independent external actuarial valuation carried out annually.
d. The Bank provides for pension to all eligible employees. The benefit is in the form of monthly
payments as per rules and regular payments to vested employees on retirement, on death while in
employment, or on termination of employment. Vesting occurs at different stages as per rules. The
pension liability is reckoned based on an independent actuarial valuation carried out annually. The
Bank makes annual contribution to the pension fund at 10% of salary in terms of SBI Pension Fund
Rules. The balance is retained in the special provision account to be utilised at the time of settlement.
e. The cost of providing defined benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with
actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately
recognised in the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
ii. Other Long Term Employee benefits
a. All eligible employees of the bank are eligible for compensated absences, silver jubilee award, leave
travel concession, retirement award and resettlement allowance. The costs of such long term employee
benefits are internally funded by the Bank.
b. The cost of providing other long term benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method
with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Past service cost is immediately
recognised in the statement of profit and loss and is not deferred.
12. Provision for Taxation
12.1 Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred tax. Current year taxes are determined in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard 22 and tax laws prevailing in India after taking into account
taxes of foreign offices, which are based on the tax laws of respective jurisdiction. Deferred tax adjustments comprise
of changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the period.
12.2 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially
enacted prior to the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on a prudent basis for
the future tax consequences of timing differences arising between the carrying values of assets and liabilities
and their respective tax basis, and carry forward losses. The impact of changes in the deferred tax assets and
liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account.

F - 27
12.3 Deferred tax assets are recognised and reassessed at each reporting date, based upon management’s judgement
as to whether realisation is considered certain. Deferred tax assets are recognised on carry forward of unabsorbed
depreciation and tax losses only if there is virtual certainty that such deferred tax assets can be realised against
future profits.
13. Earning per Share
13.1 The Bank reports basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with AS 20 -‘Earnings per Share’ issued by
the ICAI. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding for the year.
13.2 Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
equity shares were exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the
weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding at year end.
14. Accounting for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
14.1 In conformity with AS 29, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India, the Bank recognises provisions only when it has a present obligation as a result
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
14.2 No provision is recognised for
i. any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of
the Bank; or
ii. any present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because
a. it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation; or
b. a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.
Such obligations are recorded as Contingent Liabilities. These are assessed at regular intervals and
only that part of the obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is
probable, is provided for, except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be
made.
14.3 Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements as this may result in the recognition of income
that may never be realised.
15. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in ATM’s, and gold in hand, balances with RBI, balances with
other banks, and money at call and short notice.
16. Employee Share Purchase Scheme
In accordance with the Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme Guidelines, 1999 issued
by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), the excess of market price one day prior to the date of issue of
the shares over the price at which they are issued is recognised as employee compensation cost.
17. Share Issue Expenses
Share issue expenses are charged to the Share Premium Account.

c) Disclosures on Risk Exposure in Derivatives
(A) Qualitative Disclosure
i. The Bank currently deals in over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate and currency derivatives as also in
Interest Rate and Currency Futures. Interest Rate Derivatives dealt by the Bank are rupee interest rate
swaps, foreign currency interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Currency derivatives dealt
with by the Bank are currency swaps, rupee dollar options and cross-currency options. The products
are offered to the Bank’s customers to hedge their exposures and the Bank enters into derivatives
contracts to cover such exposures. Derivatives are also used by the Bank both for trading as well as
hedging on-balance sheet items. The Bank also deals in a mix of these generic instruments. The Bank
has done Option deals and Structured Products with customers, but they have been covered on a back
to back basis in inter -bank market.
ii. Derivative transactions carry market risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur as a result of adverse
movements in interest rates/exchange rates and credit risk as the probable loss the Bank may incur if
the counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Bank’s “Policy for Derivatives” which is duly
approved by the Board mandates the market risk parameters (cut-loss triggers, open position limits,
PV01 etc.) as well as customer eligibility criteria (credit rating, tenure of relationship etc.) for entering
into derivative transactions.Credit risk is controlled by entering into derivative transactions only with
counterparties in respect of whom appropriate limits are set for taking into account their ability to
honour obligations.The Bank enters into ISDA agreements with such counterparties.
iii. The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank oversees efficient management of these
risks. Market Risk Management Department (MRMD), independently identifies measures, monitors market
risk associated with derivative transactions, assists ALCO in controlling and managing these risks and
reports compliance with policy prescriptions to the Risk Management Committee of the Board (RMCB)
at regular intervals.
iv. The accounting policy for derivatives has been drawn-up in accordance with RBI guidelines, the details
of which are presented under Schedule 17: Principal Accounting Policy (PAP) for the financial year 2009-
10.
v. Interest Rate Swaps are mainly used at Foreign Offices for hedging of the assets and liabilities.
vi. Apart from hedging swaps, swaps at Foreign Offices consist of back to back swaps done at our Foreign
Offices which are done mainly for hedging of FCNR deposits at Global Markets, Kolkata.
vii. Majority of our swaps were done with First class counterparty banks.

Salary Escalation 5.00% 5.00% 5.00% 5.00%
The estimates of future salary growth, factored in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority,
promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. Such estimates
are very long term and are not based on limited past experience/immediate future. Empirical evidence also
suggests that in very long term, consistent high salary growth rates are not possible, which has been relied
upon by the auditors.
ii. Employees Provident Fund
In terms of the guidance on implementing the AS-15 (Revised 2005) issued by the Institute of the Chartered
Accountants of India, the Employees Provident Fund set up by the Bank is treated as a defined benefit plan
since the Bank has to meet the specified minimum rate of return. As at the year end, no shortfall remains
unprovided for. Accordingly, other related disclosures in respect of Provident Fund have not been made and
an amount of Rs.351.59 crores (Previous Year Rs. 337.53 crores) is recognised as an expense towards the
Provident Fund scheme of the Bank included under the head “Payments to and provisions for employees” in
Profit and Loss Account.
iii. Other Long term Employee Benefits
Amount of Rs. 151.24 crores (Previous Year write back of an amount of Rs.49.05 crores) is provided towards
Long term Employee Benefits and is included under the head “Payments to and provisions for employees” in
Profit and Loss account.

c) Segment Reporting:
1. Segment identification
A) Primary (Business Segment)
The following are the primary segments of the Bank:
— Treasury
— Corporate/Wholesale Banking
— Retail Banking
— Other Banking Business
The present accounting and information system of the Bank does not support capturing and extraction
of the data in respect of the above segments separately. However, based on the present internal,
organizational and management reporting structure and the nature of their risk and returns, the data on
the primary segments have been computed as under:
a) Treasury — The Treasury Segment includes the entire investment portfolio and trading in foreign
exchange contracts and derivative contracts. The revenue of the treasury segment primarily consists
of fees and gains or losses from trading operations and interest income on the investment portfolio.
b) Corporate/Wholesale Banking — The Corporate/Wholesale Banking segment comprises the
lending activities of Corporate Accounts Group, Mid Corporate Accounts Group and Stressed
Assets Management Group. These include providing loans and transaction services to corporate
and institutional clients and further include non treasury operations of foreign offices.
c) Retail Banking — The Retail Banking Segment comprises of branches in National Banking Group,
which primarily includes personal Banking activities including lending activities to corporate
customers having Banking relations with branches in the National Banking Group. This segment
also includes agency business and ATM’s
d) Other Banking business — Segments not classified under (a) to (c) above are classified under
this primary segment.
B) Secondary (Geographical Segment)
i) Domestic Operations — Branches/Offices having operations in India
ii) Foreign Operations — Branches/Offices having operations outside India and offshore Banking
units having operations in India
C) Pricing of Inter-segmental transfers
The Retail Banking segment is the primary resource mobilizing unit. The Corporate/Wholesale Banking
and Treasury segments are recipient of funds from Retail Banking. Market related Funds Transfer Pricing
(MRFTP) is followed under which a separate unit called Funding Centre has been created. The Funding
Centre notionally buys funds that the business units raise in the form of deposits or borrowings and
notionally sell funds to business units engaged in creating assets.
D) Allocation of Expenses, Assets and liabilities
Expenses incurred at Corporate Centre establishments directly attributable either to Corporate/Wholesale
and Retail Banking Operations or to Treasury Operations segment, are allocated accordingly. Expenses
not directly attributable are allocated on the basis of the ratio of number of employees in each segment/
ratio of directly attributable expenses.
The Bank has certain common assets and liabilities which cannot be attributed to any segment and the
same are treated as unallocated.

the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements
and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in
the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these
estimates. Any revision to the accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.

outstanding on the lease, over the primary lease period. Leases effective from April 1, 2001 are accounted as
advances at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The lease rentals are apportioned between
principal and finance income based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic return on the net investment
outstanding in respect of finance leases. The principal amount is utilized for reduction in balance of net
investment in lease and finance income is reported as interest income.
1.5 Income (other than interest) on investments in “Held to Maturity” (HTM) category acquired at a discount to
the face value, is recognised as follows:

Investments are classified into 3 categories, viz. Held to Maturity, Available for Sale and Held for Trading
categories (hereafter called categories). Under each of these categories, investments are further classified into
the following six groups:
i. Government Securities,
ii. Other Approved Securities,
iii. Shares,
iv. Debentures and Bonds,
v. Subsidiaries/Joint ventures and
vi. Others.
2.2 Basis of classification:
i. Investments that the Bank intends to hold till maturity are classified as Held to Maturity.
ii. Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified
as Held for Trading.
iii. Investments, which are not classified in the above two categories, are classified as Available for Sale.
iv. An investment is classified as Held to Maturity, Available for Sale or Held for Trading at the time of its
purchase and subsequent shifting amongst categories is done in conformity with regulatory guidelines.
v. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are classified under as Held to Maturity.
2.3 Valuation:
i. In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:
(a) Brokerage/commission/securities transaction tax received on subscriptions is reduced from the
cost.
(b) Brokerage, commission, etc. paid in connection with acquisition of investments are expensed upfront
and excluded from cost.
(c) Broken period interest paid / received on debt instruments is treated as interest expense/income
and is excluded from cost/sale consideration.
(d) Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method.
(e) The transfer of a security amongst the above three categories is accounted for at the least of
acquisition cost/book value/market value on the date of transfer, and the depreciation, if any, on
such transfer is fully provided for.
ii. Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers are valued at carrying cost.
iii. Held to Maturity category: Each scrip under Held to Maturity category is carried at its acquisition cost
or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over the face value. Any premium on acquisition is
amortised over the remaining maturity period of the security on constant yield basis. Such amortisation
of premium is adjusted against income under the head “interest on investments”. A provision is made
for diminution, other than temporary. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (both in
India and abroad) are valued at historical cost except for investments in Regional Rural Banks, which
are valued at carrying cost (i.e book value).
iv. Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories: Each scrip in the above two categories is revalued
at the market price or fair value determined as per Regulatory guidelines, and only the net depreciation
of each group for each category is provided for and net appreciation, is ignored. On provision for
depreciation, the book value of the individual securities remains unchanged after marking to market.
v. Security receipts issued by an asset reconstruction company (ARC) are valued in accordance with the
guidelines applicable to non-SLR instruments. Accordingly, in cases where the security receipts issued
by the ARC are limited to the actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the
concerned scheme, the Net Asset Value, obtained from the ARC, is reckoned for valuation of such
investments.

F - 55
vi. Investments are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the RBI
in case of domestic offices and respective regulators in case of foreign offices. Investments of domestic
offices become non performing where:
a) Interest/installment (including maturity proceeds) is due and remains unpaid for more than 90
days.
b) In the case of equity shares, in the event the investment in the shares of any company is valued
at Re. 1 per company on account of the non availability of the latest balance sheet, those equity
shares would be reckoned as NPI.
c) If any credit facility availed by the issuer is NPA in the books of the bank, investment in any of
the securities issued by the same issuer would also be treated as NPI and vice versa.
d) The above would apply mutatis-mutandis to preference shares where the fixed dividend is not
paid.
e) The investments in debentures/bonds, which are deemed to be in the nature of advance, are also
subjected to NPI norms as applicable to investments.

and Reverse Repo transactions [other than transactions under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF)
with the RBI]. Accordingly, the securities sold/purchased under Repo/Reverse Repo are treated as outright
sales/purchases and accounted for in the Repo/Reverse Repo Accounts, and the entries are reversed on
the date of maturity. Costs and revenues are accounted as interest expenditure/income, as the case may
be. Balance in Repo/Reverse Repo Account is adjusted against the balance in the Investment Account.
viii. Securities purchased / sold under LAF with RBI are debited / credited to Investment Account and
reversed on maturity of the transaction. Interest expended / earned thereon is accounted for as expenditure
/ revenue.

or if there are no credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of balance-sheet, or if the credits are
not adequate to cover the interest due during the same period;
iii. In respect of bills purchased/discounted, the bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days;
iv. In respect of agricultural advances for short duration crops, where the instalment of principal or interest
remains overdue for 2 crop seasons;

than the net book value) is ignored. Net book value is outstandings as reduced by specific provisions held
and ECGC claims received.
3.6 Advances are net of specific loan loss provisions, unrealised interest, ECGC claims received and bills
rediscounted.
3.7 For restructured/rescheduled assets, provisions are made in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI,
which requires that the present value of future interest due as per the original loan agreement, compared with
the present value of the interest expected to be earned under the restructuring package, be provided in
addition to provision for NPAs. The provision for interest sacrifice, arising out of the above, is reduced from
advances.
3.8 In the case of loan accounts classified as NPAs, an account may be reclassified as a performing account if it
conforms to the guidelines prescribed by the regulators.
3.9 Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years are recognised as revenue.
3.10 Unrealised Interest recognised in the previous year on advances which have become non-performing during
the current year, is provided for.
3.11 In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, general provisions are also made for standard assets as per the
extant guidelines prescribed by the RBI. The provisions on standard assets are not reckoned for arriving at
net NPAs. These provisions are reflected in Schedule 5 of the balance sheet under the head “Other Liabilities
& Provisions — Others.”
4. Floating Provisions
In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, the bank has an approved policy for creation and
utilisation of floating provisions separately for advances, investments and general purpose. The quantum of
floating provisions to be created would be assessed at the end of each financial year. The floating provisions
would be utilised only for contingencies under extra ordinary circumstances specified in the policy with prior
permission of Reserve Bank of India.
5. Provision for Country Exposure
In addition to the specific provisions held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for
individual country exposures (other than the home country). Countries are categorised into seven risk categories,
namely, insignificant, low, moderate, high, very high, restricted and off-credit, and provision is made as per
extant RBI guidelines. 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 maintained on such country exposures. The provision is
reflected in schedule 5 of the balance sheet under the “Other liabilities & Provisions — Others”

F - 57
6. Derivatives:
6.1 The Bank enters into derivative contracts, such as foreign currency options, interest rate swaps, currency
swaps, and cross currency interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements in order to hedge on-balance
sheet/off-balance sheet assets and liabilities or for trading purposes. 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 the underlying assets and accounted in accordance with the principles of hedge
accounting.
6.2 All derivative instruments are recognised as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measured at marked

Balance in the premium received on options sold and premium paid on options bought have been considered
to arrive at Mark to Market value for forex Over the Counter options.

F - 58
8. Leases
The asset classification and provisioning norms applicable to advances, as laid down in Para 3 above, are
applied to financial leases also.
9. Impairment of Assets
Fixed Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances warrant that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net discounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
10. Effect of changes in the foreign exchange rate
10.1 Foreign Currency Transactions
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by applying
to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign
currency on the date of transaction.
ii. Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India
(FEDAI) closing spot/forward rates.
iii. Foreign currency non-monetary items, which are carried in terms at historical cost, are reported using
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
iv. Contingent liabilities denominated in foreign currency are reported using the FEDAI closing spot rates.
v. Outstanding foreign exchange spot and forward contracts held for trading are revalued at the exchange
rates notified by FEDAI for specified maturities, and the resulting profit or loss is included in the Profit
and Loss account.
vi. Foreign exchange forward contracts which are not intended for trading and are outstanding at the
balance sheet date, are valued at the closing spot rate. The premium or discount arising at the inception
of such a forward exchange contract is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract.
vii. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded are recognised as income or as expense in the period in which they arise.
viii. Gains / Losses on account of changes in exchange rates of open position in currency futures trades are
settled with the exchange clearing house on daily basis and such gains / losses are recognised in the
profit and loss account.
10.2 Foreign Operations
Foreign Branches of the Bank and Offshore Banking Units have been classified as Non-integral Operations
and Representative Offices have been classified as Integral Operations.
a. Non-integral Operations:
i. Both monetary and non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities including contingent liabilities
of non-integral foreign operations are translated at closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the
balance sheet date.
ii. Income and expenditure of non-integral foreign operations are translated at quarterly average closing
rates.
iii. Exchange differences arising on net investment in non-integral foreign operations are accumulated in
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve until the disposal of the net investment.
iv. The Assets and Liabilities of foreign offices in foreign currency (other than local currency of the foreign
offices) are translated into local currency using spot rates applicable to that country.
b. Integral Operations:
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by applying
to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign
currency on the date of transaction.

F - 59
ii. Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of integral foreign operations are translated at closing
exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date and the resulting profit/loss is included in
the profit and loss account.
iii. Foreign currency non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost are reported using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
11. Employee Benefits:
11.1 Short Term Employee Benefits:
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits, such as medical benefits, casual leave etc. which
are expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the period
when the employee renders the service.
11.2 Post Employment Benefits:
i. Defined Benefit Plan
a. The Bank operates a Provident Fund Scheme. All eligible employees are entitled to receive benefits
under the Bank’s Provident Fund Scheme. The Bank contributes monthly at a determined rate (currently
10% of employee’s basic pay plus eligible allowance). These contributions are remitted to a trust
established for this purpose and are charged to Profit and Loss Account. The trust funds are retained
as deposits in the bank. The bank is liable for annual contributions and interest on deposits held by the
bank, which is payable at Government specified minimum rate of interest on provident fund balances of
Government Employees. The bank recognises such annual contributions and interest as an expense in
the year to which they relate.
b. The bank operates gratuity and pension schemes which are defined benefit plans.
c. The Bank provides for gratuity to all eligible employees. The benefit is in the form of lump sum payments
to vested employees on retirement, on death while in employment, or on termination of employment, for
an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each completed year of service, subject to a
maximum amount of Rs. 350,000. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Bank
makes annual contributions to a fund administered by trustees based on an independent external actuarial
valuation carried out annually.
d. The Bank provides for pension to all eligible employees. The benefit is in the form of monthly payments
as per rules and regular payments to vested employees on retirement, on death while in employment, or
on termination of employment. Vesting occurs at different stages as per rules. The pension liability is
reckoned based on an independent actuarial valuation carried out annually. The Bank makes annual
contribution to the pension fund at 10% of salary in terms of SBI Pension Fund Rules. The balance is
retained in the special provision account to be utilised at the time of settlement.
e. The cost of providing defined benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with
actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately
recognised in the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
ii. Other Long Term Employee benefits:
a. All eligible employees of the bank are eligible for compensated absences, silver jubilee award, leave
travel concession, retirement award and resettlement allowance. The costs of such long term employee
benefits are internally funded by the Bank.
b. The cost of providing other long term benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method with
actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Past service cost is immediately
recognised in the statement of profit and loss and is not deferred.
12. Provision for Taxation
12.1 Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax, deferred tax and fringe benefit tax charge. Current
year taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard 22 and tax laws prevailing
in India after taking into account taxes of foreign offices, which are based on the tax laws of respective
jurisdiction. Deferred tax adjustments comprise of changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the
period.

F - 60
12.2 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantially enacted prior to the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on a
prudent basis for the future tax consequences of timing differences arising between the carrying values of
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and carry forward losses. The impact of changes in the
deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognised in the profit and loss account.
12.3 Deferred tax assets are recognised and reassessed at each reporting date, based upon management’s judgement
as to whether realisation is considered certain. Deferred tax assets are recognised on carry forward of
unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses only if there is virtual certainty that such deferred tax assets can be
realised against future profits.
13. Earning per Share
13.1 The Bank reports basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with AS 20 -‘Earnings per Share’ issued
by the ICAI. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding for the year.
13.2 Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue equity shares were exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed
using the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding at year
end.
14. Accounting for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
14.1 In conformity with AS 29, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India, the Bank recognises provisions only when it has a present obligation as
a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
14.2 No provision is recognised for
i. any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the Bank; or
ii. any present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because
a. it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation; or
b. a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.
Such obligations are recorded as Contingent Liabilities. These are assessed at regular intervals and only that
part of the obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable, is provided
for, except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made.
14.3 Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements as this may result in the recognition of
income that may never be realised.
15. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in ATM’s, and gold in hand, balances with RBI,
balances with other banks, and money at call and short notice.
16. Employee Share Purchase Scheme:
In accordance with the Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme Guidelines,
1999 issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the excess of market price one day prior to
the date of issue of the shares over the price at which they are issued is recognised as employee compensation
cost.
17. Share Issue Expenses
Share issue expenses are charged to the Share Premium Account.

c) Disclosures on Risk Exposure in Derivatives
(A) Qualitative Disclosure
i. The Bank currently deals in over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate and currency derivatives. Interest rate
derivatives dealt with by the Bank are rupee interest rate swaps, foreign currency interest rate swaps
and forward rate agreements. Currency derivatives dealt with by the Bank are currency swaps, rupee
dollar options and cross-currency options. The products are offered to the Bank’s customers to manage
their exposures and the Bank enters into derivatives contracts to cover such exposures. Derivatives are
also used by the Bank both for trading as well as hedging on-balance sheet items. The Bank also deals
in a mix of these generic instruments.
ii. Derivative transactions carry market risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur as a result of adverse
movements in interest rates / exchange rates and credit risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur if
the counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Bank’s “Policy for Derivatives” approved by the
Board prescribes the market risk parameters (cut-loss triggers, open position limits, duration, modified
duration, PV01 etc.) as well as customer eligibility criteria (credit rating, tenure of relationship etc.) for
entering into derivative transactions.Credit risk is controlled by entering into derivative transactions
only with counterparties in respect of whom appropriate limits are set for taking into account their
ability to honour obligations.The Bank enters into ISDA agreements with each counterparty.
iii. The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank oversees efficient management of these
risks. The Bank’s Market Risk Management Department (MRMD), independently identifies measures
and monitors market risk associated with derivative transactions, assists ALCO in controlling and managing
these risks and reports compliance with policy prescriptions to the Risk Management Committee of the
Board (RMCB) at regular intervals.
iv. The accounting policy for derivatives has been drawn-up in accordance with RBI guidelines, the details
of which are presented under Schedule 17: Principal Accounting Policy (PAP) for the financial year 2008-
09.

The estimates of future salary growth, factored in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority,

are very long term and are not based on limited past experience / immediate future. Empirical evidence also
suggests that in very long term, consistent high salary growth rates are not possible, which has been relied
upon by the auditors.
ii. Employees Provident Fund
In terms of the guidance on implementing the AS-15 (Revised 2005) issued by the Institute of the Chartered
Accountants of India, the Employees Provident Fund set up by the Bank is treated as a defined benefit plan
since the Bank has to meet the specified minimum rate of return. As at the year end, no shortfall remains
unprovided for. Accordingly, other related disclosures in respect of Provident Fund have not been made and
an amount of Rs.337.53 crores (Previous Year Rs. 344.60 crores) is recognised as an expense towards the
Provident Fund scheme of the Bank included under the head “Payments to and provisions for employees” in
Profit and Loss Account.

Amount of Rs. 49.05 crores (Previous Year expenditure Rs. 133.40 crores) net of payments is written back

— Corporate / Wholesale Banking
— Retail Banking
— Other Banking Business
The present accounting and information system of the Bank does not support capturing and extraction
of the data in respect of the above segments separately. However, based on the present internal,
organisational and management reporting structure and the nature of their risk and returns, the data on
the primary segments have been computed as under:
a) Treasury - The Treasury Segment includes the entire investment portfolio and trading in foreign
exchange contracts and derivative contracts. The revenue of the treasury segment primarily consists
of fees and gains or losses from trading operations and interest income on the investment portfolio.
b) Corporate / Wholesale Banking - The Corporate / Wholesale Banking segment comprises the
lending activities of Corporate Accounts Group, Mid Corporate Accounts Group and Stressed
Assets Management Group. These include providing loans and transaction services to corporate
and institutional clients and further include non treasury operations of foreign offices.

buys funds that the business units raise in the form of deposits or borrowings and notionally sell funds to
business units engaged in creating assets.
D) Allocation of Expenses, Assets and liabilities
Expenses incurred at Corporate Centre establishments directly attributable either to Corporate / Wholesale and
Retail Banking Operations or to Treasury Operations segment, are allocated accordingly. Expenses not directly
attributable are allocated on the basis of the ratio of number of employees in each segment/ratio of directly
attributable expenses.

iii. Investments, which are not classified in the above two categories, are classified as Available for Sale.
iv. An investment is classified as Held to Maturity, Available for Sale or Held for Trading at the time of its
purchase and subsequent shifting amongst categories is done in conformity with regulatory guidelines.
v. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are classified under as Held to Maturity.
2.3 Valuation:
i. In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:
(a) Brokerage/commission received on subscriptions is reduced from the cost.
(b) Brokerage, commission etc. paid in connection with acquisition of investments are expensed upfront
and excluded from cost.
(c) Broken period interest paid/received on debt instruments is treated as interest expense/income and
is excluded from cost/sale consideration.
(d) Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method.
(e) The transfer of a security amongst the above three categories is accounted for at the least of
acquisition cost/book value/market value on the date of transfer, and the depreciation, if any, on
such transfer is fully provided for.
ii. Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers are valued at carrying cost.
iii. Held to Maturity category: Each scrip under Held to Maturity category is carried at its acquisition cost
or at amortized cost, if acquired at a premium over the face value. Any premium on acquisition is
amortized over the remaining maturity period of the security on constant yield basis. Such amortization
of premium is adjusted against income under the head “interest on investments”. A provision is made
for diminution, other than temporary. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (both in
India and abroad) are valued at historical cost except for investments in Regional Rural Banks, which
are valued at carrying cost (i.e book value).
iv. Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories: Each scrip in the above two categories is revalued
at the market price or fair value determined as per Regulatory guidelines, and only the net depreciation
of each group for each category is provided for and net appreciation, is ignored. On provision for
depreciation, the book value of the individual securities remains unchanged after marking to market.
v. Security receipts issued by an asset reconstruction company (ARC) are valued in accordance with the
guidelines applicable to non-SLR instruments. Accordingly, in cases where the security receipts issued

F - 87
by the ARC are limited to the actual realization of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the
concerned scheme, the Net Asset Value, obtained from the ARC, is reckoned for valuation of such
investments.
vi. Investments are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the RBI
in case of domestic offices and respective regulators in case of foreign offices. Investments of domestic
offices become non performing where:
a) Interest/installment (including maturity proceeds) is due and remains unpaid for more than 90
days.
b) In the case of equity shares, in the event the investment in the shares of any company is valued
at Re. 1 per company on account of the non availability of the latest balance sheet, those equity
shares would be reckoned as NPI.
c) If any credit facility availed by the issuer is NPA in the books of the bank, investment in any of
the securities issued by the same issuer would also be treated as NPI and vice versa.
d) The above would apply mutatis-mutandis to preference shares where the fixed dividend is not
paid.
e) The investments in debentures/bonds, which are deemed to be in the nature of advance, are also
subjected to NPI norms as applicable to investments.
f) In respect of foreign offices, provisions for non performing investments are made as per the local
regulations or as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
vii. The Bank has adopted the Uniform Accounting Procedure prescribed by the RBI for accounting of Repo
and Reverse Repo transactions [other than transactions under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF)
with the RBI]. Accordingly, the securities sold/purchased under Repo/Reverse repo are treated as outright
sales/purchases and accounted for in the Repo/Reverse Repo Accounts, and the entries are reversed on
the date of maturity. Costs and revenues are accounted as interest expenditure/income, as the case may
be. Balance in Repo/Reverse Repo Account is adjusted against the balance in the Investment Account.
viii. Securities purchased/sold under LAF with RBI are debited/credited to Investment Account and reversed
on maturity of the transaction. Interest expended/earned thereon is accounted for as expenditure/revenue.
3. Loans/Advances and Provisions thereon
3.1 Loans and Advances are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the
RBI. Loan assets become non-performing where:
i. In respect of term loan, interest and/or installment of principal remains overdue for a period of more
than 90 days;
ii. In respect of an Overdraft or Cash Credit advance, the account remains “out of order”, i.e. if the
outstanding balance exceeds the sanctioned limit/drawing power continuously for a period of 90 days,
or if there are no credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of balance-sheet, or if the credits are
not adequate to cover the interest due during the same period;
iii. In respect of bills purchased/discounted, the bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days;
iv. In respect of agricultural advances for short duration crops, where the installment of principal or interest
remains overdue for 2 crop seasons;
v. In respect of agricultural advances for long duration crops, where the principal or interest remains
overdue for one crop season.
3.2 Non-Performing advances are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets, based on the following
criteria stipulated by RBI:
i. Sub-standard: A loan asset that has remained non-performing for a period less than or equal to 12
months.
ii. Doubtful: A loan asset that has remained in the sub-standard category for a period of 12 months.
iii. Loss: A loan asset where loss has been identified but the amount has not been fully written off.

F - 88
3.3 Provisions are made for NPAs as per the extant guidelines prescribed by the regulatory authorities, subject to
minimum provisions as prescribed below by the RBI:
Substandard Assets: i. A general provision of 10%
ii. Additional provision of 10% for exposures which are unsecured ab-
initio (where realizable value of security is not more than 10 percent
ab-initio)
Doubtful Assets:
— Secured portion: i. Upto one year - 20%
ii. One to three years - 30%
iii. More than three years - 100%
— Unsecured portion: 100%
Loss Assets: 100%
3.4 In respect of foreign offices, provisions for non performing advances are made as per the local regulations or
as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
3.5 The sale of NPAs is accounted as per guidelines prescribed by the RBI, which requires provisions to be made
for any deficit (where sale price is lower than the net book value), while surplus (where sale price is higher
than the net book value) is ignored. Net book value is outstandings as reduced by specific provisions held
and ECGC claims received.
3.6 Advances are net of specific loan loss provisions, unrealized interest, ECGC claims received and bills
rediscounted.
3.7 For restructured/rescheduled assets, provisions are made in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI,
which requires that the present value of future interest due as per the original loan agreement, compared with
the present value of the interest expected to be earned under the restructuring package, be provided in
addition to provision for NPAs. The provision for interest sacrifice is not reduced from advances and is
included in the balance sheet under the head “Other Liabilities — Others”.
3.8 In the case of loan accounts classified as NPAs, an account may be reclassified as a performing account if it
conforms to the guidelines prescribed by the regulators.
3.9 Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years are recognized as revenue.
3.10 Unrealized Interest recognized in the previous year on advances which have become non-performing during
the current year, is provided for.
3.11 In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, general provisions are also made for standard assets as per the
extant guidelines prescribed by the RBI. The provisions on standard assets are not reckoned for arriving at
net NPAs. These provisions are reflected in Schedule 5 of the balance sheet under the head “Other Liabilities
& Provisions — Others.”
4. Provision for Country Exposure
In addition to the specific provisions held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for
individual country exposures (other than the home country). Countries are categorized into seven risk categories,
namely, insignificant, low, moderate, high, very high, restricted and off-credit, and provisioning made as per extant
RBI guidelines. 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 maintained on such country exposures.
5. Derivatives:
5.1 The Bank enters into derivative contracts, such as foreign currency options, interest rate swaps, currency
swaps, and cross currency interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements in order to hedge on-balance
sheet/off-balance sheet assets and liabilities or for trading purposes. 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 the underlying assets and accounted in accordance with the principles of hedge
accounting.

F - 89
5.2 All derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measured at marked
to market.
5.3 Derivative contracts classified as hedge are recorded on accrual basis. Hedge contracts are not marked to
market unless the underlying Assets/Liabilities are also marked to market.
5.4 Except as mentioned above, all other derivative contracts are marked to market as per the generally accepted
practices prevalent in the industry. In respect of derivative contracts that are marked to market, changes in the
market value are recognized in the profit and loss account in the period of change.
5.5 Option premium paid or received is recorded in profit and loss account at the expiry of the option.
6. Fixed Assets and Depreciation
6.1 Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
6.2 Cost includes cost of purchase and all expenditure such as site preparation, installation costs and professional
fees incurred on the asset before it is put to use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on assets put to use is
capitalized only when it increases the future benefits from such assets or their functioning capability.
6.3 Depreciation is provided on the written down value method at the rates prescribed under the Income Tax
Rules 1962, which are considered appropriate by the management. The rates of depreciation and method of
charging depreciation in respect of domestic operations are as under:
Sr. No. Description of fixed assets Method of charging Depreciation/am
depreciation ortization rate
1 Computers Straight Line Method 33.33% every year
2 Computer software forming Written Down Value 60%

1962
6.4 In respect of assets acquired for domestic operations during the year, depreciation is charged for half an year
in respect of assets used for upto 182 days and for the full year in respect of assets used for more than 182
days, except depreciation on computers and software, which is charged for the full year irrespective of the
period for which the asset was put to use.
6.5 Items costing less than Rs.1,000 each are charged off in the year of purchase.
6.6 In respect of leasehold premises, the lease premium, if any, is amortized over the period of lease and the lease
rent is charged in the respective year.
6.7 In respect of assets given on lease by the Bank on or before 31st March 2001, the value of the assets given
on lease is disclosed as Leased Assets under fixed assets, and the difference between the annual lease charge
(capital recovery) and the depreciation is taken to Lease Equalization Account.
6.8 In respect of fixed assets held at foreign offices, depreciation is provided as per the regulations/norms of the
respective countries.
7. Leases
7.1 Assets given on financial lease by the Bank on or after 1st April 2001 are accounted as per Accounting
Standard 19. Such assets are included under Other Assets.
7.2 The asset classification and provisioning norms applicable to advances, as laid down in Para 3 above, are
applied to such financial leases.

F - 90
8. Impairment of Assets
Fixed Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances warrant that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
9. Effect of Changes in the Foreign Exchange Rate
9.1 Foreign Currency Transactions
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by applying
to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign
currency on the date of transaction.
ii. Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India
(FEDAI) closing spot rates.
iii. Foreign currency non-monetary items, which are carried in terms at historical cost, are reported using
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
iv. Contingent liabilities denominated in foreign currency are reported using the FEDAI closing spot rates.
v. Outstanding foreign exchange spot and forward contracts held for trading are revalued at the exchange
rates notified by FEDAI for specified maturities, and the resulting profit or loss is included in the Profit
or Loss account.
vi. Foreign exchange forward contracts which are not intended for trading and are outstanding at the
balance sheet date, are valued at the closing spot rate. The premium or discount arising at the inception
of such a forward exchange contract is amortized as expense or income over the life of the contract.
vii. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded are recognized as income or as expense in the period in which they arise.
9.2 Foreign Operations
Foreign Branches of the Bank and Offshore Banking Units have been classified as Non-integral
Operations and Representative Offices have been classified as Integral Operations.
a. Non-integral Operations:
i. Both monetary and non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities including contingent
liabilities of non-integral foreign operations are translated at closing exchange rates notified by
FEDAI at the balance sheet date.
ii. Income and expenditure of non-integral foreign operations are translated at quarterly average
closing rates.
iii. Exchange differences arising on net investment in non-integral foreign operations are accumulated
in Foreign Currency Translation Reserve until the disposal of the net investment.
b. Integral Operations:
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by
applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and
the foreign currency on the date of transaction.
ii. Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities of integral foreign operations are translated at
closing exchange rates notified by FEDAI at the balance sheet date and the resulting profit/loss is
included in the profit and loss account.
iii. Foreign currency non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost are reported
using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

10. Employee Benefits:
10.1 Short Term Employee Benefits:
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits, such as medical benefits, casual leave etc. which
are expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognized during the period
when the employee renders the service.
10.2 Post Employment Benefits:
i. Defined Benefit Plan
a. The Bank operates a Provident Fund scheme. All eligible employees are entitled to receive benefits
under the Bank’s Provident Fund scheme. The Bank contributes monthly at a determined rate
(currently 10% of employee’s basic pay plus eligible allowance). These contributions are remitted
to a trust established for this purpose and are charged to Profit and Loss Account. The trust
funds are retained as deposits in the bank. The bank is liable for annual contributions and interest
on deposits held by the bank, which is payable at Government specified minimum rate of interest
on provident fund balances of Government Employees. The bank recognizes such annual
contributions and interest as an expense in the year to which they relate.
b. The bank operates gratuity and pension schemes which are defined benefit plans.
c. The Bank provides for gratuity to all eligible employees. The benefit is in the form of lump sum
payments to vested employees on retirement, on death while in employment, or on termination of
employment, for an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each completed year of
service, subject to a maximum amount of Rs.350,000. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years
of service. The Bank makes annual contributions to a fund administered by trustees based on an
independent external actuarial valuation carried out annually.
d. The Bank provides for pension to all eligible employees. The benefit is in the form of monthly
payments as per rules and regular payments to vested employees on retirement, on death while in
employment, or on termination of employment. Vesting occurs at different stages as per rules. The
Bank makes annual contributions to funds administered by trustees based on an independent
external actuarial valuation carried out annually.
e. The cost of providing defined benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with
actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains/losses are
immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
ii. Other Long Term Employee benefits:
a. All eligible employees of the bank are eligible for compensated absences, silver jubilee award,
leave travel concession, retirement award and resettlement allowance. The costs of such long term
employee benefits are internally funded by the Bank.
b. The cost of providing other long term benefits is determined using the projected unit credit
method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Past service cost is
immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss and is not deferred.
11. Provision for Taxation
11.1 Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of current tax, deferred tax and fringe benefit tax charge. Current
year taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standard 22 and tax laws prevailing
in India after taking into account taxes of foreign offices, which are based on the tax laws of respective
jurisdiction. Deferred tax adjustments comprise of changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the
period.
11.2 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantially enacted prior to the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on a
prudent basis for the future tax consequences of timing differences arising between the carrying values of
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and carry forward losses. The impact of changes in the
deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the profit and loss account.

F - 92
11.3 Deferred tax assets are recognized and reassessed at each reporting date, based upon management’s judgement
as to whether realization is considered certain. Deferred tax assets are recognized on carry forward of
unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses only if there is virtual certainty that such deferred tax assets can be
realized against future profits.
12. Earning per Share
12.1 The Bank reports basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with AS 20 - ‘Earnings per Share’ issued
by the ICAI. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding for the year.
12.2 Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue equity shares were exercised or converted during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed
using the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding at year
end.
13. Accounting for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
13.1 In conformity with AS 29, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India, the Bank recognizes provisions only when it has a present obligation as
a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
13.2 No provision is recognized for
i. any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the Bank; or
ii. any present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because
a. it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation; or
b. a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.
Such obligations are recorded as Contingent Liabilities. These are assessed at regular intervals
and only that part of the obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits is probable, is provided for, except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable
estimate can be made.
13.3 Contingent Assets are not recognized in the financial statements as this may result in the recognition of
income that may never be realized.
14. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in ATM’s, and gold in hand, balances with RBI, balances with
other banks, and money at call and short notice.
15. Employee Share Purchase Scheme:
In accordance with the Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme Guidelines, 1999
issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the excess of market price one day prior to the date
of issue of the shares over the price at which they are issued is recognized as employee compensation cost.
16. Share Issue Expenses
Share issue expenses are charged to the Share Premium Account.

c) Disclosures on Risk Exposure in Derivatives
(A) Qualitative Disclosure
i. The Bank currently deals in over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate and currency derivatives. Interest rate
derivatives dealt with by the Bank are rupee interest rate swaps, foreign currency interest rate swaps
and forward rate agreements. Currency derivatives dealt with by the Bank are currency swaps, rupee
dollar options and cross-currency options. The products are offered to the Bank’s customers to manage
their exposures and the Bank enters into derivatives contracts to cover such exposures. Derivatives are
also used by the Bank both for trading as well as hedging on-balance sheet items. The Bank also deals
in a mix of these generic instruments, under the portfolio of Structured Products.

F - 98
ii. Derivative transactions carry market risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur as a result of adverse
movements in interest rates/ exchange rates and credit risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur if
the counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Bank’s “Policy for Derivatives” approved by the
Board prescribes risk parameters to control and manage market risk (cut-loss triggers, open position
limits, duration, modified duration, PV01 etc.). The policy also prescribes customer eligibility criteria
(credit rating, tenure of relationship etc.); credit risk is controlled by entering into derivative transactions
only with counterparties satisfying these criteria, setting appropriate counterparty exposure limits taking
into accountability to honour obligations and entering into ISDA agreements with each counterparty.
iii. The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank oversees efficient management of these
risks. The Bank’s Market Risk Management Department (MRMD), independently identifies measures
and monitors market risk associated with derivative transactions, assists ALCO in controlling and managing
these risks and reports compliance with policy prescriptions to the Risk Management Committee of the
Board (RMCB) at regular intervals.
iv. The accounting policy for derivatives has been drawn-up in accordance with RBI guidelines.

iv. Segment Reporting
During the year, the Bank has reclassified its primary segments as Treasury, Corporate/Wholesale Banking
and Retail Banking business in line with the directions issued by RBI. The Bank had hitherto been
classifying Banking and Treasury operations as primary segments.
v. Employee Benefits
I. The Bank had hitherto been measuring the liability for employee retirement benefits as per the
erstwhile AS 15 (1995) “Accounting for Retirement Benefits”. The Bank has adopted AS 15 (Revised
2005) “Employee Benefits”, effective from 1st April 2007. Consequently an additional obligation of
Rs.4,256.70 crore has accrued as on that date. Out of this, Rs.3,723.74 crore pertains to pension
benefits and Rs.351.64 crore (Net of deferred tax assets of Rs.181.06 crore) pertains to long term
employee benefits.
II. The Bank has exercised the option of charging the additional obligation to Revenue & Other
Reserves. Accordingly, the transitional liability of Rs.4075.64 crore (net of deferred tax assets of
Rs.181.06 crore) has been set off against transfer from Revenue & Other Reserves.

The estimates of future salary growth, factored in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority,
promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. Such
estimates are very long term and are not based on limited past experience / immediate future. Empirical
evidence also suggests that in very long term, consistent high salary growth rates are not possible,
which has been relied upon by the auditors.
ii. Employees Provident Fund
In terms of the guidance on implementing the AS-15 (Revised 2005) issued by the Institute of the
Chartered Accountants of India, the Employees Provident Fund set up by the Bank is treated as a
defined benefit plan since the Bank has to meet the specified minimum rate of return. As at the year
end, no shortfall remains unprovided for. Accordingly, other related disclosures in respect of Provident
Fund have not been made and an amount of Rs.344.60 crore is recognized as an expense towards the
Provident Fund scheme of the Bank included under the head “Payments to and provisions for employees”
in Profit and Loss Account.
iii. Other Long term Employee Benefits
Amount of Rs.133.40 crore is recognized as an expense towards Long term Employee Benefits included

d) Segment Reporting: As compiled by the Management and relied upon by the auditors
1. Segment identification
A) Primary (Business Segment)
In compliance with the then prevailing RBI directions, the Bank had hitherto being classifying (i) Banking
Operations and (ii) Treasury Operations as the primary segments. The RBI vide their circular no. BP.BC.81/
21.04.018/2006-07 dated 18th April 2007, has modified its directions, requiring the Banks to identify/
reclassify the following segments as primary segments:
— Treasury
— Corporate/Wholesale Banking
— Retail Banking
— Other Banking Business
The present accounting and information system of the Bank does not support the capturing and extraction
of the data in respect of the above segments separately. However, based on the present internal
organizational and management reporting structure and the nature of their risk and returns, the existing
primary segments have been regrouped as under:
a) Treasury — The Treasury Segment includes the entire investment portfolio and trading in foreign
exchange contracts and derivative contracts. The revenue of the treasury segment primarily consists
of fees and gains or losses from trading operations and interest income on the investment portfolio.
b) Corporate/Wholesale Banking — The Corporate/Wholesale Banking segment comprises the lending

F - 108
activities of Corporate Accounts Group, Mid Corporate Accounts Group and Stressed Assets
Management Group. These include providing loans and transaction services to corporate and
institutional clients and further include non treasury operations of foreign offices.
c) Retail Banking — The Retail Banking Segment comprises of branches in National Banking Group,
which primarily includes personal Banking activities including lending activities to corporate
customers having Banking relations with branches in the National Banking Group. This segment
also includes agency business and ATM’s
a) Other Banking Business — Segments not classified under (a) to (c) above are classified under
this primary segment.
The Management is of the opinion that the above reclassification meets the requirements of the revised
RBI guidelines and also is in compliance with the requirements of the Accounting Standard — 17 —
“Segment Reporting” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
B) Secondary (Geographical Segment)
i) Domestic Operations — Branches/Offices having operations in India
ii) Foreign Operations — Branches/Offices having operations outside India and Offshore Banking
Units having operations in India
C) Pricing of Inter-segmental transfers
The Retail Banking segment is the primary resource mobilizing unit. The Corporate/Wholesale Banking
and Treasury segments are recipient of funds from Retail Banking. Market related Funds Transfer Pricing
(MRFTP) is followed under which a separate unit called Funding Centre has been created. The Funding
Centre notionally buys funds that the business units raise in the form of deposits or borrowings and
notionally sell funds to business units engaged in creating assets.
D) Allocation of Expenses, Assets and Liabilities
Expenses incurred at Corporate Centre establishments directly attributable either to Corporate/Wholesale
and Retail Banking Operations or to Treasury Operations segment, are allocated accordingly. Expenses
not directly attributable are allocated on the basis of the ratio of number of employees in each segment/
ratio of directly attributable expenses.
The Bank has certain common assets and liabilities which cannot be attributed to any segment and the
same are treated as unallocated.

1. Basis of Preparation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. They conform to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India, which comprise the statutory provisions, regulatory/
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, accounting standards/ guidance notes issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI), and the practices prevalent in the banking industry in India. In respect of foreign
offices, statutory provisions and practices prevailing in respective countries are complied with.
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions considered in
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements
and the reported income and expenditure during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used
in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these
estimates.

2.4.2 Provisions in respect of non-performing advances are made as per the local law or as per the norms of
RBI, whichever is higher.
3. Investments
3.1 Investments are classified into 3 categories, viz. ‘Held for Trading’, ‘Available for Sale’ and ‘Held to Maturity’ :
Under each of these categories, investments are further classified under following six groups :
i) Government Securities
ii) Other Approved Securities
iii) Shares
iv) Debentures and Bonds
v) Investments in Subsidiaries/Joint Ventures and
vi) Other Investments
3.1.1 Investments that are acquired by the Bank with the intention to trade by taking advantage of short term
price /interest rate movement are classified under ‘Held for Trading’. These investments are held under
this category upto 90 days from the date of acquisition.
3.1.2 Investments which are intended to be held up to maturity are classified as ‘Held to Maturity’.
3.1.3 Investments which are not classified in either of the above categories are classified as ‘Available for
Sale’.
3.2 Valuation
3.2.1 In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:
(a) Brokerage/commission received on subscriptions is deducted from the cost of securities.
(b) Brokerage, commission and stamp duty paid in connection with acquisition of securities are treated
as revenue expenses.
(c) Interest accrued upto the date of acquisition of securities i.e. broken-period interest, is excluded
from the acquisition cost and recognized as interest expense. Broken-period interest received on
sale of securities is recognized as interest income.
(d) Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method.
(e) The transfer of a security (from one category to another) is accounted for at the least of acquisition
cost/book value/market value on the date of transfer and the depreciation, if any, on such transfer
is charged to Profit and Loss Account - “Profit on Revaluation of Investments” as a deduction.
3.2.2 Individual scrips classified under ‘Held for Trading‘ category are valued at lower of book value or
market value. Securities are valued scrip-wise and depreciation/appreciation is aggregated for each
classification. Net depreciation in each classification, if any, is provided for while net appreciation is
ignored. The book value of the scrips continue to remain unchanged.
3.2.3 Investments under ‘Held to Maturity’ (HTM) category are carried at acquisition cost. Wherever the
book value is higher than the face value/redemption value, the premium on acquisition or on transfer
from another category is amortised over the remaining period to maturity of the security using Constant

F - 118
Yield Method (CYM). Amortisation loss is charged to Profit and Loss Account - “Profit on Revaluation
of Investments” as a deduction. The book value of the security is reduced to the extent of the amount
amortised.
3.2.4 Investments under ‘Available for Sale’ category are valued at cost or market value, whichever is lower.
Where market quotations are not available, market value for this purpose is arrived at on the basis of
realizable market price computed as per the guidelines of the Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives
Association of India (FIMMDA) / Primary Dealers Association of India (PDAI) / RBI. Securities are
valued scrip-wise and depreciation/appreciation is aggregated for each classification. Net depreciation in
each classification, if any, is provided for while net appreciation is ignored. The book value of the scrips
continues to remain unchanged.
3.2.5 Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers are valued at cost.
3.2.6 Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures (both in India and abroad) are valued at historical cost
after netting off provisions, if any.
3.2.7 Non-Performing Investments are recognised as per RBI guidelines and provision is made as per RBI
norms applicable to Non-Performing Advances.
3.2.8 Investments in Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) are valued at carrying cost (i.e. book value)
3.3 The Bank has adopted the Uniform Accounting Procedure prescribed by the RBI for accounting of Repo and
Reverse Repo transactions [other than transactions under the Liquidity Adjustment facility (LAF) with the
RBI]. Accordingly, the securities sold/purchased under Repo/Reverse Repo are treated as outright sales/
purchases and accounted for in the Repo/Reverse Repo Accounts and the entries are reversed on the date of
maturity. Costs and revenues are accounted as interest expenditure/income, as the case may be. Balance in
Repo/Reverse Repo Account is adjusted against the balance in the Investment Account.
Securities purchased/sold under LAF with RBI are debited/credited to Investment Account and reversed on
maturity of the transaction. Interest expended/earned thereon is accounted for as expenditure/revenue.

18.5.3 Disclosures on Risk Exposure in Derivatives
A) Qualitative Disclosure
The Bank currently deals in over-the counter (OTC) interest rate and currency derivatives. Interest rate
derivatives dealt with by the Bank are rupee interest rate swaps, foreign currency interest rate swaps
and forward rate agreements. Currency derivatives dealt with by the Bank are currency swaps, rupee
dollar options and cross-currency options. The products are offered to the Bank’s customers to manage
their exposures and the Bank enters into derivatives contracts to cover such exposures. Derivatives are
also used by the Bank both for trading as well as hedging on-balance sheet items. The Bank also deals
in a mix of these generic instruments, under the portfolio of Structured Products.
Derivative transactions carry market risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur as a result of adverse
movements in interest rates/exchange rates and credit risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur if
the counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Bank’s ‘Policy for Derivatives’ approved by the
Board prescribes risk parameters to control and manage market risk (cut-loss triggers, open position
limits, duration, modified duration, PV01 etc.). The policy also prescribes customer eligibility criteria
(credit rating, tenure of relationship etc.); credit risk is controlled by entering into derivitive transactions
only with counterparties satisfying these criteria, setting appropriate counterparty exposure limits taking
into account ability to honour obligations, and entering into ISDA agreements with each counterparty.
The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank oversees efficient management of these
risks. The Bank’s Mid-Office and Risk Control (MORC) Department at Treasury, now Market Risk
Management Department (MRMD), independently identifies, measures, and monitors market risk
associated with derivative transactions, assists ALCO in controlling and managing these risks, and
reports compliance with policy prescriptions to the Risk Management Committee of the Board (RMCB)
at regular intervals.
The accounting policy for derivatives has been drawn up in accordance with RBI guidelines.

18.8.4 The Bank has not received any intimation from the suppliers regarding their status under the Micro,
Small & Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 and hence the disclosures relating to amount
unpaid as at the end of the year together with interest payable as required under the said act has not
been furnished and provision for interest, if any, on delayed payment is not ascertainable at this stage.
18.9 Disclosure Requirements as per Accounting Standards
18.9.1 Significant changes in the principal accounting policies.
During the year, the Bank has changed the segmental pricing methodology, which was necessitated for
presenting more meningful segment results. The financial effect of the change on the segmental result
cannot be reasonably determined. However, this change does not have any impact on the financials of
the Bank.
18.9.2 The Bank had hitherto been following a policy of amortization of premium in respect of securities held
in the “Held to Maturity* (HTM) category by an adjustment to the account head “Provision and
Contingencies”. From the current financial year and in accordance with RBI directive dated 20th April
2007, the Bank has charged the amortization amount as well as marked to market losses on transfer of
securities from “Available for Sale” (AFS) to HTM category by an adjustment to the account head
Other Income : “ Profit on Revaluation of Investments” as a deduction. As a result of this change in
accounting policy, the book value of the securities is reduced by Rs.6357.06 crores being the amortization
and marked to market losses on intercategory transfer of Rs.1677.51 crores for the current year and
Rs.4679.55 crores for the previous year. However, there is no impact on the Net Profit for the year.
18.9.3 Prior Period Items : Domestic Offices
Items Current year Previous year
Depreciation (17.47) Nil
Operating expenses 16.38 Nil
Interest expended 264.76 Nil
Other income 2.42 Nil
The Bank accounts for the interest on income tax refund on determination of interest by taxation
authorities. Such interest is credited to profit and loss account on such determination. Any subsequent
withdrawal of interest is being charged to profit and loss account. However, during earlier years, Interest
of Rs.264.76 crores withdrawan by taxation authorities, was debited to the “Tax paid in advance”. This

has been rectified during the year to fall in line with the rationale of opinion expressed by Expert
Advisory Committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in similar instance.

(v) Risk exposures in Derivatives:
Qualitative Disclosure:
The Bank currently deals in over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate and currency derivatives. Interest rate derivatives
dealt with by the Bank are rupee interest rate swaps, foreign currency interest rate swaps and forward rate
agreements. Currency derivatives dealt with by the Bank are currency swaps, rupee dollar options and cross-
currency options. The products are offered to the Bank’s customers to manage their exposures and the Bank
enters into derivative contracts to cover such exposures. Derivatives are also used by the Bank both for
trading as well as hedging on-balance sheet items.
Derivative transactions carry market risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur as a result of adverse
movements in interest rates/exchange rates and credit risk i.e. the probable loss the Bank may incur if the
counterparties fail to meet their obligations. The Bank’s “Policy for Derivatives” approved by the Board
prescribes risk parameters to control and manage market risk (cut-loss triggers, open position limits, duration,
modified duration, PV01 etc.), The Policy also prescribes customer eligibility criteria (credit rating, tenure of
relationship etc.), credit risk is controlled by entering into derivative transactions only with counterparties
satisfying these criteria, setting appropriate counterparty exposure limits taking into account ability to honour
obligations and entering into ISDA agreements with each counterparty.

F - 149
The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the Bank oversees efficient management of these risks.
The Bank’s Mid-Office and Risk Control (MORC) Department at Treasury independently identifies, measures,
monitors market risk associated with derivative transactions, assists ALCO in controlling and managing these
risks and reports compliance with policy prescriptions to the Risk Management Committee of the Board
(RMCB) at regular intervals.
The accounting policy for derivatives has been drawn-up in accordance with RBI guidelines.

categories (hereafter called categories). Under each of these categories, investments are further classified into
the following six groups:
i. Government Securities,
ii. Other Approved Securities,
iii. Shares,
iv. Debentures and Bonds,
v. Subsidiaries/Joint ventures and
vi. Others.
2.2 Basis of classification:
i. Investments that the Bank intends to hold till maturity are classified as Held to Maturity.
ii. Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified
as Held for Trading.
iii. Investments, which are not classified in the above two categories, are classified as Available for Sale.

F - 194
iv. An investment is classified as Held to Maturity, Available for Sale or Held for Trading at the time of its
purchase and subsequent shifting amongst categories is done in conformity with regulatory guidelines.
2.3 Valuation:
i. In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:
a. Brokerage/commission received on subscriptions is reduced from the cost.
b. Brokerage, commission, securities transaction tax, etc. paid in connection with acquisition of
investments are expensed upfront and excluded from cost.
c. Broken period interest paid/received on debt instruments is treated as interest expense/income and
is excluded from the cost/sale consideration.
d. Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method.
e. The transfer of a security amongst the above three categories is accounted for at the least of
acquisition cost/book value/market value on the date of transfer, and the depreciation, if any, on
such transfer is fully provided for.
ii. Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers are valued at carrying cost.
iii. Held to Maturity category: Each scrip under Held to Maturity category is carried at its acquisition cost
or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over the face value. Any premium on acquisition is
amortised over the remaining maturity period of the security on constant yield basis. Such amortisation
of premium is adjusted against income under the head “interest on investments”. A provision is made
for diminution, other than temporary. Investments in Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) are valued at equity
cost determined in accordance with AS 23 of the ICAI.
iv. Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories: Each scrip in the above two categories is revalued
at the market price or fair value determined as per Regulatory guidelines, and only the net depreciation
of each group for each category is provided for and net appreciation, is ignored. On provision for
depreciation, the book value of the individual securities remains unchanged after marking to market.
v. Security receipts issued by an asset reconstruction company (ARC) are valued in accordance with the
guidelines applicable to non-SLR instruments. Accordingly, in cases where the security receipts issued
by the ARC are limited to the actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the
concerned scheme, the Net Asset Value, obtained from the ARC, is reckoned for valuation of such
investments.
vi. Investments are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the RBI
in case of domestic offices and respective regulators in case of foreign entities. Investments of domestic
offices become non performing where:
a. Interest/instalment (including maturity proceeds) is due and remains unpaid for more than 90 days.
b. In the case of equity shares, in the event the investment in the shares of any company is valued
at Re. 1 per company on account of the non availability of the latest balance sheet, those equity
shares would be reckoned as NPI.
c. If any credit facility availed by the issuer is NPA in the books of the bank, investment in any of
the securities issued by the same issuer would also be treated as NPI and vice versa.
d. The above would apply mutatis-mutandis to preference shares where the fixed dividend is not
paid.
e. The investments in debentures/bonds, which are deemed to be in the nature of advance, are also
subjected to NPI norms as applicable to investments.
f. In respect of foreign entities, provisions for non performing investments are made as per the local
regulations or as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
vii. The Bank has adopted the Uniform Accounting Procedure prescribed by the RBI for accounting of Repo
and Reverse Repo transactions [other than transactions under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF)
with the RBI]. Accordingly, the securities sold/purchased under Repo/Reverse repo are treated as outright
sales/purchases and accounted for in the Repo/Reverse Repo Accounts, and the entries are reversed on

F - 195
the date of maturity. Costs and revenues are accounted as interest expenditure/income, as the case may
be. Balance in Repo/Reverse Repo Account is adjusted against the balance in the Investment Account.
viii. Securities purchased/sold under LAF with RBI are debited/credited to Investment Account and reversed
on maturity of the transaction. Interest expended/earned thereon is accounted for as expenditure/revenue.
3. Loans/Advances and Provisions thereon
3.1 Loans and Advances are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the
RBI. Loan assets become non-performing where:
i. In respect of term loan, interest and/or instalment of principal remains overdue for a period of more than
90 days;
ii. In respect of an Overdraft or Cash Credit advance, the account remains “out of order”, i.e. if the
outstanding balance exceeds the sanctioned limit/drawing power continuously for a period of 90 days,
or if there are no credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of balance-sheet, or if the credits are
not adequate to cover the interest due during the same period;
iii. In respect of bills purchased/discounted, the bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days;
iv. In respect of agricultural advances for short duration crops, where the instalment of principal or interest
remains overdue for 2 crop seasons;
v. In respect of agricultural advances for long duration crops, where the principal or interest remains
overdue for one crop season.
3.2 Non-Performing advances are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets, based on the following
criteria stipulated by RBI:
i. Sub-standard: A loan asset that has remained non-performing for a period less than or equal to 12
months.
ii. Doubtful: A loan asset that has remained in the sub-standard category for a period of 12 months.
iii. Loss: A loan asset where loss has been identified but the amount has not been fully written off.
3.3 Provisions are made for NPAs as per the extant guidelines prescribed by the regulatory authorities, subject to
minimum provisions as prescribed below by the RBI:
Substandard Assets: i. A general provision of 10%
ii. Additional provision of 10% for exposures which are unsecured ab-
initio (where realisable value of security is not more than 10 percent
ab-initio)
Doubtful Assets:
— Secured portion: i. Up to one year — 20%
ii. One to three years — 30%
iii. More than three years — 100%
— Unsecured portion 100%
Loss Assets: 100%
3.4 In respect of foreign entities, provisions for non performing advances are made as per the local regulations or
as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
3.5 The sale of NPAs is accounted as per guidelines prescribed by the RBI, which requires provisions to be made
for any deficit (where sale price is lower than the net book value), while surplus (where sale price is higher
than the net book value) is ignored. Net book value is outstanding as reduced by specific provisions held
and ECGC claims received.
3.6 Advances are net of specific loan loss provisions, unrealised interest, ECGC claims received and bills
rediscounted.
3.7 For restructured/rescheduled assets, provisions are made in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI,
which requires that the present value of future interest due as per the original loan agreement, compared with

F - 196
the present value of the interest expected to be earned under the restructuring package, be provided in
addition to provision for NPAs. The provision for interest sacrifice arising out of the above, is reduced from
advances.
3.8 In the case of loan accounts classified as NPAs, an account may be reclassified as a performing account if it
conforms to the guidelines prescribed by the regulators.
3.9 Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years are recognised as revenue.
3.10 Unrealised Interest recognised in the previous year on advances which have become non-performing during
the current year, is provided for.
3.11 In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, general provisions are also made for standard assets as per the
extant guidelines prescribed by the RBI. The provisions on standard assets are not reckoned for arriving at
net NPAs. These provisions are reflected in Schedule 5 of the balance sheet under the head “Other Liabilities
& Provisions — Others.”
4. Floating Provision
In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, the bank has an approved policy for creation and
utilisation of floating provisions separately for advances, investments and general purpose. The quantum of floating
provisions to be created would be assessed at the end of each financial year. The floating provisions would be
utilised only for contingencies under extra ordinary circumstances specified in the policy with prior permission of
Reserve Bank of India.
5. Provision for Country Exposure for Banking Entities
In addition to the specific provisions held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for
individual country exposures (other than the home country). Countries are categorised into seven risk categories,
namely, insignificant, low, moderate, high, very high, restricted and off-credit, and provisioning made as per extant
RBI guidelines. 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 maintained on such country exposures. The provision is reflected in schedule 5 of
the balance sheet under the “Other liabilities & Provisions — Others”.
6. Derivatives:
6.1 The Bank enters into derivative contracts, such as foreign currency options, interest rate swaps, currency
swaps, and cross currency interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements in order to hedge on-balance
sheet/off-balance sheet assets and liabilities or for trading purposes. 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 the underlying assets and accounted in accordance with the principles of hedge
accounting.
6.2 Derivative contracts classified as hedge are recorded on accrual basis. Hedge contracts are not marked to
market unless the underlying Assets/Liabilities are also marked to market.
6.3 Except as mentioned above, all other derivative contracts are marked to market as per the generally accepted
practices prevalent in the industry. In respect of derivative contracts that are marked to market, changes in the
market value are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period of change. Any receivable under
derivatives contracts, which remain overdue for more than 90 days, are reversed through profit and loss
account.
6.4 Option premium paid or received is recorded in profit and loss account at the expiry of the option. The
Balance in the premium received on options sold and premium paid on options bought have been considered
to arrive at Mark to Market value for forex Over the Counter options.
6.5 Exchange Traded Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Futures entered into for trading purposes are valued at
prevailing market rates based on quoted and observable market prices and the resultant gains and losses are
recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.
7. Fixed Assets and Depreciation
7.1 Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

F - 197
7.2 Cost includes cost of purchase and all expenditure such as site preparation, installation costs and professional
fees incurred on the asset before it is put to use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on assets put to use is
capitalised only when it increases the future benefits from such assets or their functioning capability.

7.8 In respect of fixed assets held at foreign branches/subsidiaries/associates, depreciation is provided as per the
regulations/norms of the respective countries.
8. Leases
The asset classification and provisioning norms applicable to advances, as laid down in Para 3 above, are applied
to financial leases also.
9. Impairment of Assets
Fixed Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances warrant that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
10. Effect of changes in the foreign exchange rate
10.1 Foreign Currency Transactions
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by applying

vi. Foreign exchange forward contracts which are not intended for trading and are outstanding at the
balance sheet date, are valued at the closing spot rate. The premium or discount arising at the inception
of such a forward exchange contract is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract.
vii. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded are recognised as income or as expense in the period in which they arise.
viii. Gains/Losses on account of changes in exchange rates of open position in currency futures trades are

The estimates of future salary growth, factored in actuarial valuation, take account of
inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand
in the employment market. Such estimates are very long term and are not based on
limited past experience/immediate future. Empirical evidence also suggests that in the
very long term, consistent high salary growth rates are not possible. The auditors have
relied upon the representation made by the Bank in this behalf.

3.2.2 Employees Provident Fund

In terms of the guidance on implementing the AS-15 (Revised 2005) “Employees


Benefits” issued by the ICAI, the Employees Provident Fund set up by the Bank is
treated as a defined benefit plan since the Bank has to meet the specified minimum
rate of return. As at the year end, no shortfall remains unprovided for. Accordingly,
other related disclosures in respect of Provident Fund have not been made and an
amount of Rs. 420.19 Crore (Previous Year Rs. 394.59 Crore) is recognised as an
expense towards the Provident Fund scheme of the group included under the head
“Payments to and provisions for employees” in Profit and Loss Account.

3.2.3 Other Long Term Employee Benefits

Amount of Rs. 233.54 Crore (Previous Year Rs. 68.04 Crore) is recognised as an
expense towards Long term Employee Benefits included under the head “Payments to
and provisions for employees” in Profit and Loss account.

3.3 Segment Reporting (As complied by management and relied upon by the auditors)

3.3.1 Segment Identification

A) Primary (Business Segment)

The following are the Primary Segments of the Group:

— Treasury

— Corporate/Wholesale Banking

— Retail Banking

— Other Banking Business

F-207
The present accounting and information system of the Bank does not support
capturing and extraction of the data in respect of the above segments separately.
However, based on the present internal organisational and management reporting
structure and the nature of their risk and returns, the data on the Primary
Segments have been computed as under:

a) Treasury: The Treasury Segment includes the entire investment portfolio


and trading in foreign exchange contracts and derivative contracts. The
revenue of the treasury segment primarily consists of fees and gains or
losses from trading operations and interest income on the investment
portfolio.

b) Corporate/Wholesale Banking: The Corporate/Wholesale Banking


segment comprises the lending activities of Corporate Accounts Group,
Mid Corporate Accounts Group and Stressed Assets Management Group.
These include providing loans and transaction services to corporate and
institutional clients and further include non treasury operations of foreign
offices.

c) Retail Banking: The Retail Banking Segment comprises of branches in


National Banking Group, which primarily includes personal Banking
activities including lending activities to corporate customers having
Banking relations with branches in the National Banking Group. This
segment also includes agency business and ATM’s

d) Other Banking business — Segments not classified under (a) to (c) above
are classified under this primary segment. This segment also includes the
operations of all the Non-Banking Subsidiaries/Joint Ventures of the group.

In the case of Banking Subsidiaries who do not have the management reporting
structure corresponding to the parent, all the exposures in excess of Rs. 5 Crore
have been segregated and included in Corporate/Wholesale Banking.

B) Secondary (Geographical Segment):

i) Domestic operations comprise branches and subsidiaries having operations


in India.

ii) Foreign operations comprise branches and subsidiaries having operations


outside India and offshore banking units having operations in India.

C) Allocation of Expenses, Assets and Liabilities

Expenses of parent incurred at Corporate Centre establishments directly


attributable either to Corporate/Wholesale and Retail Banking Operations or to
Treasury Operations segment, are allocated accordingly. Expenses not directly
attributable are allocated on the basis of the ratio of number of employees in
each segment/ratio of directly attributable expenses.

3.3.2 The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting
policies adopted in the parent’s financial statements with the following additional
features:

1) Pricing of inter-segment transactions between the Non Banking Operations


segment and other segments are market led. In respect of transactions between
treasury and other banking business, compensation for the use of funds is
reckoned based on interest and other costs incurred by the lending segment.

F-208
2) Revenue and expenses have been identified to segments based on their
relationship to the operating activities of the segment.

3) Revenue and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not
allocable to segments on a reasonable basis, have been included under
“Unallocated Expenses”.

2.1 Classification

Investments are classified into 3 categories, viz. Held to Maturity, Available for Sale and
Held for Trading categories (hereafter called categories). Under each of these categories,
investments are further classified into the following six groups:

i. Government Securities,

ii. Other Approved Securities,

iii. Shares,

iv. Debentures and Bonds,

v. Subsidiaries/Joint ventures and

vi. Others.

2.2 Basis of classification:

i. Investments that the Bank intends to hold till maturity are classified as Held to
Maturity.

ii. Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of
purchase are classified as Held for Trading.

iii. Investments, which are not classified in the above two categories, are classified as
Available for Sale.

F-221
iv. An investment is classified as Held to Maturity, Available for Sale or Held for Trading
at the time of its purchase and subsequent shifting amongst categories is done in
conformity with regulatory guidelines.

2.3 Valuation:

i. In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:

a. Brokerage/commission/securities transaction tax received on subscriptions is


reduced from the cost.

b. Brokerage, commission etc. paid in connection with acquisition of investments


are expensed upfront and excluded from cost.

c. Broken period interest paid / received on debt instruments is treated as revenue


item.

d. Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method.

e. The transfer of a security amongst the above three categories is accounted for at
the least of acquisition cost/book value/market value on the date of transfer, and
the depreciation, if any, on such transfer is fully provided for.

ii. Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers are valued at carrying cost.

iii. Held to Maturity category: Each scrip under Held to Maturity category is carried at
its acquisition cost or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over the face value.
Any premium on acquisition is amortised over the remaining maturity period of the
security on constant yield basis. Such amortisation of premium is adjusted against
income under the head “interest on investments”. A provision is made for diminution,
other than temporary. Investments in Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) are valued at
equity cost determined in accordance with Accounting Standard 23.

iv. Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories: Each scrip in the above two
categories is revalued at the market price or fair value determined as per Regulatory
guidelines, and only the net depreciation of each group for each category is provided
for and net appreciation, is ignored. On provision for depreciation, the book value of
the individual securities remains unchanged after marking to market.

v. Security receipts issued by an asset reconstruction company (ARC) are valued in


accordance with the guidelines applicable to Non-SLR instruments. Accordingly, in
cases where the security receipts issued by the ARC are limited to the actual
realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the concerned scheme,
the Net Asset Value, obtained from the ARC, is reckoned for valuation of such
investments.

vi. Investments are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines
issued by the RBI in case of domestic offices and respective regulators in case of
foreign entities. Investments of domestic offices become non performing where:

a. Interest/instalment (including maturity proceeds) is due and remains unpaid for


more than 90 days.

b. In the case of equity shares, in the event the investment in the shares of any
company is valued at Re. 1 per company on account of the non availability of the
latest balance sheet, those equity shares would be reckoned as NPI.

F-222
c. If any credit facility availed by the issuer is NPA in the books of the bank,
investment in any of the securities issued by the same issuer would also be
treated as NPI and vice versa.

d. The above would apply mutatis-mutandis to preference shares where the fixed
dividend is not paid.

e. The investments in debentures/bonds, which are deemed to be in the nature of


advance, are also subjected to NPI norms as applicable to investments.

f. In respect of foreign entities, provisions for non performing investments are


made as per the local regulations or as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.

vii. The Bank has adopted the Uniform Accounting Procedure prescribed by the RBI for
accounting of Repo and Reverse Repo transactions [other than transactions under the
Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) with the RBI]. Accordingly, the securities
sold/purchased under Repo/Reverse repo are treated as outright sales/purchases and
accounted for in the Repo/Reverse Repo Accounts, and the entries are reversed on the
date of maturity. Costs and revenues are accounted as interest expenditure/income, as
the case may be. Balance in Repo/Reverse Repo Account is adjusted against the
balance in the Investment Account.

viii. Securities purchased / sold under LAF with RBI are debited / credited to Investment
Account and reversed on maturity of the transaction. Interest expended / earned
thereon is accounted for as expenditure / revenue.

3. Loans /Advances and Provisions thereon

3.1 Loans and Advances are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the
guidelines issued by the RBI. Loan assets become non-performing where:

i. In respect of term loan, interest and/or instalment of principal remains overdue for a
period of more than 90 days;

ii. In respect of an Overdraft or Cash Credit advance, the account remains “out of order”,
i.e. if the outstanding balance exceeds the sanctioned limit/drawing power
continuously for a period of 90 days, or if there are no credits continuously for 90 days
as on the date of balance-sheet, or if the credits are not adequate to cover the interest
due during the same period;

iii. In respect of bills purchased/discounted, the bill remains overdue for a period of more
than 90 days;

iv. In respect of agricultural advances for short duration crops, where the instalment of
principal or interest remains overdue for 2 crop seasons;

v. In respect of agricultural advances for long duration crops, where the principal or
interest remains overdue for one crop season.

3.2 Non-Performing advances are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets, based
on the following criteria stipulated by RBI:

i. Sub-standard: A loan asset that has remained non-performing for a period less than or
equal to 12 months.

F-223
ii. Doubtful: A loan asset that has remained in the sub-standard category for a period of
12 months.

iii. Loss: A loan asset where loss has been identified but the amount has not been fully
written off.

authorities, subject to minimum provisions as prescribed below by the RBI:

Substandard Assets: i. A general provision of 10%


ii. Additional provision of 10% for exposures which are
unsecured ab-initio (where realisable value of security is
not more than 10 percent ab-initio)

Doubtful Assets:

— Secured portion: i. Upto one year — 20%


ii. One to three years — 30%
iii. More than three years — 100%

— Unsecured portion: 100%

Loss Assets: 100%

3.4 In respect of foreign entities, provisions for non performing advances are made as per the
local regulations or as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.

3.5 The sale of NPAs is accounted as per guidelines prescribed by the RBI, which requires
provisions to be made for any deficit (where sale price is lower than the net book value),
while surplus (where sale price is higher than the net book value) is ignored. Net book value
is outstanding as reduced by specific provisions held and ECGC claims received.

3.6 Advances are net of specific loan loss provisions, unrealised interest, ECGC claims
received and bills rediscounted.

3.7 For restructured/rescheduled assets, provisions are made in accordance with the guidelines
issued by RBI, which requires that the present value of future interest due as per the
original loan agreement, compared with the present value of the interest expected to be
earned under the restructuring package, be provided in addition to provision for NPAs. The
provision for interest sacrifice arising out of the above, is reduced from advances.

3.8 In the case of loan accounts classified as NPAs, an account may be reclassified as a
performing account if it conforms to the guidelines prescribed by the regulators.

3.9 Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years are recognised as revenue.

4. Floating Provision

In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, the bank has an approved policy for
creation and utilisation of floating provisions separately for advances, investments and general
purpose. The quantum of floating provisions to be created would be assessed at the end of each
financial year. The floating provisions would be utilised only for contingencies under extra
ordinary circumstances specified in the policy with prior permission of Reserve Bank of India.

5. Provision for Country Exposure for Banking Entities

In addition to the specific provisions held according to the asset classification status, provisions
are held for individual country exposures (other than the home country). Countries are
categorised into seven risk categories, namely, insignificant, low, moderate, high, very high,
restricted and off-credit, and provisioning made as per extant RBI guidelines. 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 maintained on such country exposures. The provision is reflected in
schedule 5 of the balance sheet under the “Other liabilities & Provisions — Others”.

swaps, currency swaps, and cross currency interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements
in order to hedge on-balance sheet/off-balance sheet assets and liabilities or for trading
purposes. 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 the underlying assets and accounted in accordance with the principles
of hedge accounting.

6.2 All derivative instruments are recognised as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and
measured at marked to market.

6.3 Derivative contracts classified as hedge are recorded on accrual basis. Hedge contracts are
not marked to market unless the underlying Assets / Liabilities are also marked to market.

are marked to market, changes in the market value are recognised in the profit and loss
account in the period of change.

option. The Balance in the premium received on options sold and premium paid on options
bought have been considered to arrive at Mark to Market value for forex Over the Counter
options.

The estimates of future salary growth, factored in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority,
promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market. Such
estimates are very long term and are not based on limited past experience / immediate future. Empirical
evidence also suggests that in very long term, consistent high salary growth rates are not possible. The
auditors have relied upon the representation made by the Bank in this behalf.

In terms of the guidance on implementing the AS-15 (Revised 2005) issued by the Institute of the
Chartered Accountants of India, the Employees Provident Fund set up by the Bank is treated as a
defined benefit plan since the Bank has to meet the specified minimum rate of return. As at the year
end, no shortfall remains unprovided for. Accordingly, other related disclosures in respect of Provident
Fund have not been made and an amount of Rs.394.59 crores (Previous Year Rs.546.01 crores) is recognised
as an expense towards the Provident Fund scheme of the group included under the head “Payments to
and provisions for employees” in Profit and Loss Account.
3.2.3 Other Long term Employee Benefits

F - 246
1.4 Income from finance leases is calculated by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the net investment
outstanding on the lease, over the primary lease period. Leases effective from April 1, 2001 are accounted as
advances at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. The lease rentals are apportioned between
principal and finance income based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic return on the net investment
outstanding in respect of finance leases. The principal amount is utilized for reduction in balance of net
investment in lease and finance income is reported as interest income.
1.5 Income (other than interest) on investments in “Held to Maturity” (HTM) category acquired at a discount to

2. Investments
Investments are accounted for in accordance with the extant regulatory guidelines. The bank follows trade date
method for accounting of its investments.
2.1 Classification
Investments are classified into 3 categories, viz. Held to Maturity, Available for Sale and Held for Trading
categories (hereafter called categories). Under each of these categories, investments are further classified into
the following six groups:
i. Government Securities,
ii. Other Approved Securities,
iii. Shares,
iv. Debentures and Bonds,
v. Subsidiaries/Joint ventures and
vi. Others.
2.2 Basis of classification:
i. Investments that the Bank intends to hold till maturity are classified as Held to Maturity.
ii. Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified
as Held for Trading.
iii. Investments, which are not classified in the above two categories, are classified as Available for Sale.
iv. An investment is classified as Held to Maturity, Available for Sale or Held for Trading at the time of its
purchase and subsequent shifting amongst categories is done in conformity with regulatory guidelines.
2.3 Valuation:
i. In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:
(a) Brokerage/commission received on subscriptions is reduced from the cost.
(b) Brokerage, commission etc. paid in connection with acquisition of investments are expensed upfront
and excluded from cost.
(c) Broken period interest paid / received on debt instruments is treated as interest expense/income
and is excluded from cost/sale consideration.
(d) Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method.
(e) The transfer of a security amongst the above three categories is accounted for at the least of
acquisition cost/book value/market value on the date of transfer, and the depreciation, if any, on
such transfer is fully provided for.

F - 248
ii. Treasury Bills and Commercial Papers are valued at carrying cost.
iii. Held to Maturity category: Each scrip under Held to Maturity category is carried at its acquisition cost
or at amortised cost, if acquired at a premium over the face value. Any premium on acquisition is
amortised over the remaining maturity period of the security on constant yield basis. Such amortisation
of premium is adjusted against income under the head “interest on investments”. A provision is made
for diminution, other than temporary. Investments in Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) are valued at equity
cost determined in accordance with Accounting Standard 23.
iv. Available for Sale and Held for Trading categories: Each scrip in the above two categories is revalued
at the market price or fair value determined as per Regulatory guidelines, and only the net depreciation
of each group for each category is provided for and net appreciation, is ignored. On provision for
depreciation, the book value of the individual securities remains unchanged after marking to market.
v. Security receipts issued by an asset reconstruction company (ARC) are valued in accordance with the
guidelines applicable to non-SLR instruments. Accordingly, in cases where the security receipts issued
by the ARC are limited to the actual realisation of the financial assets assigned to the instruments in the
concerned scheme, the Net Asset Value, obtained from the ARC, is reckoned for valuation of such
investments.
vi. Investments are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the RBI
in case of domestic offices and respective regulators in case of foreign branches/subsidiaries. Investments
of domestic offices become non performing where:
a) Interest/instalment (including maturity proceeds) is due and remains unpaid for more than 90 days.
b) In the case of equity shares, in the event the investment in the shares of any company is valued
at Re. 1 per company on account of the non availability of the latest balance sheet, those equity
shares would be reckoned as NPI.
c) If any credit facility availed by the issuer is NPA in the books of the bank, investment in any of
the securities issued by the same issuer would also be treated as NPI and vice versa.
d) The above would apply mutatis-mutandis to preference shares where the fixed dividend is not
paid.
e) The investments in debentures/ bonds, which are deemed to be in the nature of advance, are also
subjected to NPI norms as applicable to investments.
f) In respect of foreign branches/subsidiaries, provisions for non performing investments are made
as per the local regulations or as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
vii. The Bank has adopted the Uniform Accounting Procedure prescribed by the RBI for accounting of Repo
and Reverse Repo transactions [other than transactions under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF)
with the RBI]. Accordingly, the securities sold/purchased under Repo/Reverse repo are treated as outright
sales/purchases and accounted for in the Repo/Reverse Repo Accounts, and the entries are reversed on
the date of maturity. Costs and revenues are accounted as interest expenditure/ income, as the case may
be. Balance in Repo/Reverse Repo Account is adjusted against the balance in the Investment Account.
viii. Securities purchased / sold under LAF with RBI are debited / credited to Investment Account and
reversed on maturity of the transaction. Interest expended / earned thereon is accounted for as expenditure
/ revenue.
3. Loans /Advances and Provisions thereon:
3.1 Loans and Advances are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines issued by the
RBI. Loan assets become non-performing where:
i. In respect of term loan, interest and/or instalment of principal remains overdue for a period of more than
90 days;
ii. In respect of an Overdraft or Cash Credit advance, the account remains “out of order”, i.e. if the
outstanding balance exceeds the sanctioned limit/drawing power continuously for a period of 90 days,
or if there are no credits continuously for 90 days as on the date of balance-sheet, or if the credits are
not adequate to cover the interest due during the same period;

F - 249
iii. In respect of bills purchased/ discounted, the bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days;
iv. In respect of agricultural advances for short duration crops, where the instalment of principal or interest
remains overdue for 2 crop seasons;
v. In respect of agricultural advances for long duration crops, where the principal or interest remains
overdue for one crop season.
3.2 Non-Performing advances are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets, based on the following
criteria stipulated by RBI:
i. Sub-standard: A loan asset that has remained non-performing for a period less than or equal to 12
months.
ii. Doubtful: A loan asset that has remained in the sub-standard category for a period of 12 months.
iii. Loss: A loan asset where loss has been identified but the amount has not been fully written off.
3.3 Provisions are made for NPAs as per the extant guidelines prescribed by the regulatory authorities, subject to
minimum provisions as prescribed below by the RBI:
Substandard Assets:
i. A general provision of 10%
ii. Additional provision of 10% for exposures which are unsecured ab-initio (where realisable value of
security is not more than 10 percent ab-initio)
Doubtful Assets:
Secured portion:
i. Upto one year 20%
ii. One to three years 30%
iii. More than three years 100%
Unsecured portion 100%
Loss Assets: 100%
3.4 In respect of foreign branches/subsidiaries, provisions for non performing advances are made as per the local
regulations or as per the norms of RBI, whichever is higher.
3.5 The sale of NPAs is accounted as per guidelines prescribed by the RBI, which requires provisions to be made
for any deficit (where sale price is lower than the net book value), while surplus (where sale price is higher
than the net book value) is ignored. Net book value is outstanding as reduced by specific provisions held
and ECGC claims received.
3.6 Advances are net of specific loan loss provisions, unrealised interest, ECGC claims received and bills
rediscounted.
3.7 For restructured/rescheduled assets, provisions are made in accordance with the guidelines issued by RBI,
which requires that the present value of future interest due as per the original loan agreement, compared with
the present value of the interest expected to be earned under the restructuring package, be provided in
addition to provision for NPAs. The provision for interest sacrifice is not reduced from advances and is
included in the balance sheet under the head “Other Liabilities — Others”.
3.8 In the case of loan accounts classified as NPAs, an account may be reclassified as a performing account if it
conforms to the guidelines prescribed by the regulators.
3.9 Amounts recovered against debts written off in earlier years are recognised as revenue.
3.10 Unrealised Interest recognised in the previous year on advances which have become non-performing during
the current year, is provided for.
3.11 In addition to the specific provision on NPAs, general provisions are also made for standard assets as per the
extant guidelines prescribed by the RBI. The provisions on standard assets are not reckoned for arriving at
net NPAs. These provisions are reflected in Schedule 5 of the balance sheet under the head “Other Liabilities
& Provisions — Others.”

F - 250
4. Provision for Country Exposure:
In addition to the specific provisions held according to the asset classification status, provisions are held for
individual country exposures (other than the home country). Countries are categorised into seven risk categories,
namely, insignificant, low, moderate, high, very high, restricted and off-credit, and provisioning made as per extant
RBI guidelines. 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 maintained on such country exposures.

hedge on-balance sheet / off-balance sheet assets and liabilities that meet the criteria of ‘hedge-effectiveness’
as laid down by regulators.
5.2 Based on RBI guidelines, Derivatives are valued as under:
a. Derivatives used for trading are marked to market and net appreciation / depreciation is recognised in
the Profit and Loss Account.
b. Derivatives used for hedging are:
i. Marked to Market in cases where the underlying Asset / Liabilities are marked to market. The
resultant gain / loss are recognised in Profit and Loss Account.
ii. Accounted on accrual basis in cases where the underlying Assets / Liabilities are not marked to
market.
The net outstanding marked to market position of each type of derivative shown either under Asset or
Liability, as the case may be.
5.3 In case of forex OTC options the premium received on options sold and premium paid on options bought are
recognised as income/ expenditure.
6. Fixed Assets and Depreciation:
6.1 Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
6.2 Cost includes cost of purchase and all expenditure such as site preparation, installation costs and professional
fees incurred on the asset before it is put to use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on assets put to use is
capitalised only when it increases the future benefits from such assets or their functioning capability.
6.3 Depreciation is provided on the written down value method at the rates prescribed under the Income Tax
Rules 1962, which are considered appropriate by the management. The rates of depreciation and method of
charging depreciation in respect of domestic operations are as under:

Standard 19. Such assets are included under Other Assets.
7.2 The asset classification and provisioning norms applicable to advances, as laid down in Para 3 above, are
applied to such financial leases.
8. Impairment of Assets:
Fixed Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances warrant that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
9. Effect of changes in the foreign exchange rate:
9.1 Foreign Currency Transactions:
i. Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency by applying

balance sheet date, are valued at the closing spot rate. The premium or discount arising at the inception
of such a forward exchange contract is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract.

they were initially recorded are recognised as income or as expense in the period in which they arise.
9.2 Foreign Operations:
Foreign Branches of the Bank and Offshore Banking Units have been classified as Non-integral Operations
and Representative Offices have been classified as Integral Operations.

a. it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation; or

factoring company incorporated in India, at a cost of Rs.520.56 Crore on 28th March
2008 and has infused fresh equity capital of Rs.75.00 Crore thereby increasing its
equity stake by further 1.03% on the same date. Accordingly, the financial statements
of GTFL have been consolidated with effect from 28th March 2008. The difference of
Rs.357.33 Crore between acquisition cost and the net equity has been recognised as
goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standard 21 — Consolidated Financial
Statements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

b. SBICAPS Ventures Limited, a 100% subsidiary of SBI Capital Markets Limited, a


subsidiary of SBI, has floated a 50-50 joint venture, SS Ventures Services Limited on
15th December 2007 for setting up a knowledge sector fund. Since SBI’s indirect
holding in the new entity is 43.08%, it has been considered as an associate and has
been consolidated as per Accounting Standard 23 — Accounting for investment in
Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements.

c. During the year the group’s stake in Indian Ocean International Bank Ltd. (IOIB) has
increased to 62.58% as against 56.84% as on 31st March 2007.

F-257
1.3 Two of the associates — Bank of Bhutan (Gregorian Calendar Year) and Nepal SBI Bank
Ltd (Hindu Calendar Year) follow accounting years different from that of the parent.
Accordingly, the financial statements of these associates are made as of 31st December
2007 and 16th July 2007 respectively.

2. Share Capital:

a) During the year, the RBI has transferred their entire shareholding of 31,43,39,200 shares in
the parent representing 59.73% of the issued capital of the parent to the Government of
India.

b) During the year, the parent has issued 10,52,59,776 equity shares of Rs.10 each for cash at
a premium of Rs.1580 per equity share i.e. at Rs.1590 per equity share aggregating to
Rs.16736.30 Crore on right basis. Of the above, the parent has allotted 10,51,71,498 fully
paid equity shares to the eligible applicants, keeping in abeyance the allotment of 88,278
equity shares of Rs.10 each which are subject matter of title disputes or are sub-judice.

c) The Government of India has subscribed to 6,28,68,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each at a
premium of Rs.1580 per share as part of rights offer of the parent. The Government has
discharged the total consideration of Rs.9996.01 Crore by issue of “8.35% SBI Rights Issue
GOI Special Bonds 2024”. Certain restrictions have been placed by the Government on the
sale of these bonds.

d) Expenses in relation to the issue of shares amounting to Rs.28.70 Crore have been debited
to the Share Premium Account.

3. Employee Stock Purchase Scheme:

3.1 The Central Board of the parent has adopted the Employees Share Purchase Scheme (the

offer of 86,17,500 equity shares of Rs.10 each at a premium of Rs.1580 as part of its rights
issue to the employees of the Parent including the Chairman and Managing Directors. The
Scheme is in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999.
The said scheme has since been closed on 30th April 2008.

3.2 As on date, no equity shares have been allotted, under the Scheme, since the parent is in
the process of compiling the data on the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the
exercise of the rights by the employees. The parent has made provision of Rs.11.00 Crore
towards employee compensation expenses on estimated basis.

4. Disclosures as per Accounting Standards:-

4.1 Significant changes in accounting policies:

i. Dividend Accounting

During the year the group has changed its accounting policy in respect of recognition
of dividend on shares of corporate bodies from realisation basis to accrual basis where
the right to receive the dividend is established. Consequently, the dividend income and
the profit for the year are higher by Rs.4.68 Crore.

F-258
ii. Amortisation of Premium on HTM Securities

As required by RBI general clarification dated July 11, 2007, the group has deducted
the amortisation of premium on government securities, from “Income on investments”
included in “Interest earned” which was earlier included in “Other income” amounting
to Rs.1669.69 Crore for the year ended March 31, 2008 (Rs.1662.41 Crore for the year
ended March 31, 2007) Prior year figures have been reclassified to conform to the
current classification. This change in accounting procedure does not have any impact
on the net profit for the year.

iii. Mark-to-Market gains / losses of Forex OTC options

The group has changed the accounting policy in respect of accounting of


Mark-to-Market (MTM) gains / losses in case of forex OTC options, where-by the
balance in premium received on options sold and premium paid on options bought
have been considered from this year to arrive at MTM value for forex OTC options.
Consequent to this change in the accounting policy, the profit for the year is higher
by Rs.133.80 Crore.

iv. Segment Reporting

During the year, the group has reclassified its primary segments as Treasury,
Corporate/Wholesale banking, retail banking business and other banking business, in
line with the directions issued by RBI. The group had hitherto been classifying
banking operations, treasury operations and non-banking operations as primary
segments.

v. Employee Benefits

a) The group had hitherto been measuring the liability for employee retirement
benefits as per the erstwhile AS 15 (1995) “Accounting for Retirement Benefits”.
The Bank has adopted AS 15 (Revised 2005) “Employee Benefits”, effective
from 1st April 2007. Consequently an additional obligation of Rs.5848.46 Crore
has accrued as on that date. Out of this, Rs.4527.02 Crore (Net of deferred tax
assets of Rs.281.67 Crore) and Rs.160.20 Crore (Net of deferred tax assets of
Rs.39.18 Crore) pertains to pension benefits and gratuity respectively. Rs.578.26
Crore (Net of deferred tax assets of Rs.262.13 Crore) pertains to long term
employee benefits.

b) The group has exercised the option of charging the additional obligation to
Revenue & Other Reserves. Accordingly, the transitional liability of Rs.5265.48
Crore (net of deferred tax assets of Rs.582.98 Crore) has been accounted with
transfer from Revenue & Other Reserves.

c) Consequent to the adoption of AS-15 (Revised 2005) profit before tax is higher
by Rs.191.16 Crore.

The estimates of future salary growth, factored in actuarial valuation, take account of
inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand
in the employment market. Such estimates are very long term and are not based on
limited past experience / immediate future. Empirical evidence also suggests that in
very long term, consistent high salary growth rates are not possible. The auditors have
relied upon the representation made by the Bank in this behalf.

4.2.2 Employees Provident Fund

In terms of the guidance on implementing the AS-15 (Revised 2005) issued by the
Institute of the Chartered Accountants of India, the Employees Provident Fund set up
by the Bank is treated as a defined benefit plan since the Bank has to meet the
specified minimum rate of return. As at the year end, no shortfall remains unprovided
for. Accordingly, other related disclosures in respect of Provident Fund have not been
made and an amount of Rs.546.01 Crore is recognised as an expense towards the
Provident Fund scheme of the Bank included under the head “Payments to and
provisions for employees” in Profit and Loss Account.

4.2.3 Other Long term Employee Benefits

4.3 Segment Reporting (As complied by management and relied upon by the auditors)

4.3.1 Segment identification

A) Primary (Business Segment)

In compliance with the then prevailing RBI directions, the Bank had hitherto
being classifying (i) Banking Operations, (ii) Treasury Operations and (iii)
Non-Banking Operations as the primary segments. The RBI vide their circular
no. BP.BC.81/ 21.04.018/2006-07 dated 18th April 2007, has modified its
directions, requiring the Banks to identify / reclassify the following segments as
primary segments:

— Treasury

— Corporate / Wholesale Banking

— Retail Banking

— Other Banking Business

The present accounting and information system of the Bank does not support the
capturing and extraction of the data in respect of the above segments separately.
However, based on the present internal organisational and management reporting
structure and the nature of their risk and returns, the existing primary segments
have been regrouped as under:

a) Treasury: The Treasury Segment includes the entire investment portfolio


and trading in foreign exchange contracts and derivative contracts. The
revenue of the treasury segment primarily consists of fees and gains or
losses from trading operations and interest income on the investment
portfolio.

F-262
b) Corporate / Wholesale Banking: The Corporate / Wholesale Banking
segment comprises the lending activities of Corporate Accounts Group,
Mid Corporate Accounts Group and Stressed Assets Management Group.
These include providing loans and transaction services to corporate and
institutional clients and further include non treasury operations of foreign
offices.

c) Retail Banking: The Retail Banking Segment comprises of branches in


National Banking Group, which primarily includes personal Banking
activities including lending activities to corporate customers having
Banking relations with branches in the National Banking Group. This
segment also includes agency business and ATM’s.

d) Other Banking business — Segments not classified under (a) to (c) above
are classified under this primary segment. This segment also includes the
operations of all the Non-Banking Subsidiaries/Joint Ventures of the group.

In the case of Banking Subsidiaries who do not have the management


reporting structure corresponding to the parent, all the exposures in excess
of Rs 5 Crore have been segregated and included in Corporate/Wholesale
Banking.

The Management is of the opinion that the above reclassification meets the
requirements of the revised RBI guidelines and also is in compliance with
the requirements of the Accounting Standard-17 — “Segment Reporting”
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

B) Secondary (Geographical Segment):

i) Domestic operations comprise branches and subsidiaries having operations


in India.

ii) Foreign operations comprise branches and subsidiaries having operations


outside India and offshore banking units having operations in India.

C) Allocation of Expenses, Assets and liabilities

Expenses of parent incurred at Corporate Centre establishments directly


attributable either to Corporate / Wholesale and Retail Banking Operations or to
Treasury Operations segment, are allocated accordingly. Expenses not directly
attributable are allocated on the basis of the ratio of number of employees in
each segment/ratio of directly attributable expenses.

4.3.2 The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the

accounting policies adopted in the parent’s financial statements with the following
additional features:

1) Pricing of inter-segment transactions between the Other Banking Business


segment and other segments are market led. In respect of transactions between
treasury and other banking business, compensation for the use of funds is
reckoned based on interest and other costs incurred by the lending segment.

2) Revenue and expenses have been identified to segments based on their


relationship to the operating activities of the segment.

F-263
3) Revenue and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not
allocable to segments on a reasonable basis, have been included under
“Unallocated Expenses”.

1.3 Two of the associates – Bank of Bhutan (31st December) and Nepal SBI Bank Ltd (Hindu Calendar Year)
follow accounting years different from that of the parent.
2. DISCLOSURES AS PER ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
2.1 Significant changes in accounting policies:
2.1.1 During the year, the parent and its constituent banks have changed the segmental pricing methodology,
which was necessitated for presenting more meaningful segment results. The financial effect of the
change on segmental results can not be reasonably determined. However, this change does not have
any impact on the financials of the bank.
2.1.2 The parent and its constituent banks had hitherto been following a policy of amortization of premium in
respect of securities held in the ‘Held to Maturity’ (HTM) category by an adjustment to the account
head ‘Provisions and Contingencies’. From the current financial year and in accordance with RBI directive
dated 20th April 2007, the Group has charged the amortization amount as well as marked to market
losses on transfer of securities from ‘Available for Sale’ (AFS) to HTM category by an adjustment to
the account head Other Income “ Profit on revaluation of Investments” as a deduction. As a result of
this change in accounting policy, the Operating Profit for the year stands reduced by Rs.2303.13 crores
for the current year. However, there is no impact on the Net Profit for the year.
2.1.3 During the year, the group has recognized diminution in the value of investments in RRBs to the extent
of its capital contribution which hitherto was being recognized by the group without restricting to its
capital contribution. This has resulted in the increase in the profit of the group for the year by Rs.158.23
crore.
2.2 Segmental Reporting:
2.2.1 Segment Identification
PRIMARY Treasury Operations
(Business Segment) Banking Operations
Non-Banking Operations
SECONDARY Domestic Operations
(Geographical Segment) Foreign Operations
The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies adopted
in the parent’s financial statements with the following additional features.
Pricing of inter-segment transactions between the Non Banking Operations segment and other segments
are market led. In respect of transactions between treasury and banking segments, compensation for the
use of funds is reckoned based on interest and other costs incurred by the lending segment.
Revenue and expenses have been identified to segments based on their relationship to the operating
activities of the segment.
Revenue and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to segments on
a reasonable basis have been included under “Unallocated Expenses” net of unallocated corporate
revenue.

Since the assets/liabilities of the merged RRBs have been taken over by the new entities at their respective
book values, there is no goodwill/capital reserve on account of these mergers.
1.3 Two of the associates – Bank of Bhutan (31st December) and Nepal SBI Bank Ltd (Hindu Calendar
Year) follow accounting years different from that of the parent.
2. DISCLOSURES AS PER ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
2.1 Significant changes in accounting policies:
2.1.1 During the year, the parent and its constituent banks have changed the segmental pricing
methodology, which was necessitated for presenting more meaningful segment results. The financial
effect of the change on segmental results can not be reasonably determined. However, this change
does not have any impact on the financials of the bank.
2.1.2 The parent and its constituent banks had hitherto been following a policy of amortization of premium
in respect of securities held in the ‘Held to Maturity’ (HTM) category by an adjustment to the account
head ‘Provisions and Contingencies’. From the current financial year and in accordance with RBI
directive dated 20th April 2007, the Group has charged the amortization amount as well as marked to
market losses on transfer of securities from ‘Available for Sale’ (AFS) to HTM category by an
adjustment to the account head Other Income “ Profit on revaluation of Investments” as a deduction.
As a result of this change in accounting policy, the Operating Profit for the year stands reduced by
Rs.2303.13 crores for the current year. However, there is no impact on the Net Profit for the year.
2.1.3 During the year, the group has recognized diminution in the value of investments in RRBs to the
extent of its capital contribution which hitherto was being recognized by the group without restricting
to its capital contribution. This has resulted in the increase in the profit of the group for the year by
Rs.158.23 crore.
2.2 Segmental Reporting:
2.2.1 Segment Identification
PRIMARY Treasury Operations
(Business Segment) Banking Operations
Non-Banking Operations

F-295
SECONDARY Domestic Operations
(Geographical Segment) Foreign Operations

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies adopted in
the parent’s financial statements with the following additional features.
Pricing of inter-segment transactions between the Non Banking Operations segment and other segments are
market led. In respect of transactions between treasury and banking segments, compensation for the use of
funds is reckoned based on interest and other costs incurred by the lending segment.
Revenue and expenses have been identified to segments based on their relationship to the operating
activities of the segment.
Revenue and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to segments on a
reasonable basis have been included under “Unallocated Expenses” net of unallocated corporate revenue.
The group reports its operations under the following geographical segments.
a) Domestic operations comprises branches and subsidiaries having operations in India.
b) Foreign operations comprises branches and subsidiaries having operations outside India and Offshore
banking units having operations in India.

statement issued through electronic mode shall not receive any physical Bond certificates. The Bondholders

Subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds, a Bondholder may request the Depository/Bank to provide a
physical Bond Certificate. In case of any Bonds rematerialised by a Bondholder in physical form, a single
certificate will be issued to the Bondholder for the aggregate amount (―Consolidated Bondholder
Certificate‖) for each Series of Bonds allotted to him under any Tranche Issue. The Applicant can also
request for the issue of Bond Certificates in a Market Lot.

In respect of Consolidated Bondholder Certificate, we will, only upon receipt of a request from the
Bondholder, split such Consolidated Bondholder Certificates into smaller denominations subject to the
minimum of the Market Lot. No fees would be charged for splitting of a Consolidated Bondholder
Certificate into Market Lots, but stamp duty payable, if any, would be borne by the Bondholder. The
charge for splitting into lots other than Market Lot will be borne by the Bondholder subject to the

154
maximum amount agreed upon by us with the Stock Exchange where the Bonds are proposed to be listed.

which would then be treated as cancelled by us.

The Bonds will be redeemed at their principal amount outstanding together with accrued interest
on the payment date as specified for the Series of Bonds in the relevant Tranche Prospectus (the
―Redemption Date‖).

amount outstanding of the Bonds together with accrued interest, if applicable, as specified in the
relevant Tranche Prospectus for the Bonds, subject to being at least 5 (five) years from the

(c) Procedure for Redemption

The procedure for redemption is set out below:

Bonds held in physical form: No action is ordinarily required on the part of the Bondholder at the
time of redemption. However, the Bank may require that the Consolidated Bondholder Certificate
duly discharged by the sole holder or all the joint-holders (signed on the reverse of the
Consolidated Bondholder Certificate) to be surrendered for redemption on maturity and should be
sent by the Bondholder(s) by registered post with acknowledgment due or by hand delivery to the
Registrar / Company or to such persons at such addresses as may be notified by us from time to
time. Bondholder(s) may be requested to surrender the Consolidated Bond Certificate(s) in the
manner as stated above, not more than three months and not less than one month prior to the
Redemption Date or the Call Option Date so as to facilitate timely payment. Also see the
paragraph titled ―Payment on Redemption‖ below.

Payment instructions in respect of the Bonds to be redeemed as per the process set forth below
will be made on the Redemption Date or the Call Option Date within a period of 30 days from the
date of receipt of the duly discharged Consolidated Bondholder Certificate, whichever is later.

Bonds held in electronic form: No action is required on the part of Bondholder(s) at the time of
redemption of the Bonds.

(d) Payment on Redemption

155
Bonds held in dematerialised form: For Bonds held in dematerialised form, on the Redemption
Date or the Call Option Date, redemption proceeds will be paid to those Bondholders whose
names appear on the register of beneficial owners given by the Depositories to the Bank. These
names will be in accordance with the Depositories‘ records on the Record Date fixed for the
purpose of redemption. These Bonds will be simultaneously extinguished through appropriate
debit corporate action. No action is required on the part of Bondholder(s) at the time of
redemption of Series of Bonds held in dematerialised form.

Bonds held in physical form: The redemption proceeds will be paid to those Bondholders whose
names stand first in the SBI Register on the Redemption Date. Dispatch in respect of payment on
redemption of the Bonds will be made only on the surrender of Consolidated Bondholder
Certificate, duly discharged by the sole holder or all the joint-holders (signed on the reverse of the
Consolidated Bondholder Certificate), sent by the Bondholder(s) by registered post with
acknowledgment due or by hand delivery to our registered office or to the office of the Registrar
to the Issue or to such persons at such addresses as may be notified by us from time to time, not
more than three months and not less than one month prior to the Redemption Date or the Call
Option Date so as to facilitate timely payment. In case the above requirement is not satisfied, no
claim or action shall lie against us, or the Registrar to the Issue.

We may at our discretion redeem the Bonds without the requirement of surrendering of the
Consolidated Bondholder Certificate by the Bondholder(s). In case we decide to do so, the
Bondholders need not submit the Consolidated Bondholder Certificate to us and the redemption
proceeds would be paid to those Bondholders whose names stand in the register of Bondholders
maintained by us on the Record Date. Hence, the transferees, if any, should ensure lodgement of
the transfer documents before the Record Date. In case the transfer documents are not lodged with
us before the Record Date and we despatch the redemption proceeds to the transferor, claims in
respect of the redemption proceeds should be settled amongst the parties inter se and no claim or
action shall lie against us or the Registrar.

The Bank‘s liability to Bondholders in respect of their rights including for payment or otherwise
shall stand extinguished from the Redemption Date or the Call Option Date, as applicable, in all
events and when the Bank dispatches the redemption amounts to the Bondholders. Further, the
Bank will not be liable to pay any interest, income or compensation of any kind from the
Redemption Date or the Call Option Date, as applicable.

If the Redemption Date or the Call Option Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in
Mumbai or in any other payment centre notified in terms of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881,
redemption proceeds would be paid on the next working day.

to time on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

The interest will be credited or dispatched on April 2 of every year for each Interest Payment Date.
The last interest payment will be made along with repayment of the principal amount on the
relevant Redemption Date.

For the Bonds, the last interest payment will be due on the Redemption Date. If redemption of a
the Bonds does not occur on the Redemption Date due to a lack of permission from the RBI, then
the last interest payment for each of the Bonds shall be made on the date of maturity of such
Bonds.

Payment of interest will be made to the sole or first (in case of joint holders) Bondholders whose
names appear in the register of Bondholders held with the Depository as on the Record Date.

In case of rematerialisation of Bond Certificates or transfer of Bond Certificates held in physical


form, for payment of interest, Bondholders are advised to send the Bond Certificate(s) and the
duly completed transfer deeds or other suitable instrument of transfer as may be prescribed by us
for registration of transfer of the Bond(s) to us or such other persons as may be notified by us from
time to time, at least two days prior to the Record Date, failing which interest will be paid to the
seller and not to the buyer. In such cases, claims in respect of interest, if any, shall be settled inter
se amongst the parties and no claim or action shall lie against us, or the Registrar to the Issue.

If the date of interest payment falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Mumbai or in any
other payment centre notified in terms of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, interest would be
paid on the next working day.

appearing in the SBI Register (as defined below) shall be treated for all purposes by the Bank, the
Debenture Trustee, the Depositories and all other persons dealing with such person as the holder thereof
and its absolute owner for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of
ownership, trust or any interest in it or any writing on, theft or loss of the Bonds) and no person will be
liable for so treating the holder. Title to any Bond shall pass only by transfer and registration as described
in para 27 below titled ―Transfer of the Bonds‖.

14. Nomination

157
The sole Bondholder or first Bondholder, along with other joint Bondholders (being individual(s)) may
nominate any one person (being individual) who, in the event of death of the sole holder or all the joint-
holders, as the case may be, shall become entitled to the Bond. A person, being a nominee, becoming
entitled to the Bond by reason of the death of the Bondholder(s), shall be entitled to the same rights to
which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Bond. Where the nominee is a minor, the
Bondholder(s) may make a nomination to appoint, in the prescribed manner, any person to become entitled
to the Bond(s), in the event of his death, during the minority. A nomination shall stand rescinded upon sale
of a Bond by the person nominating. A buyer will be entitled to make a fresh nomination in the manner
prescribed. When the Bond is held by two or more persons, the nominee shall become entitled to receive
the amount only on the demise of all the holders. Fresh nominations can be made only in the prescribed
form available on request at our Registered/Corporate Office/Registrar or such other person at such
addresses as may be notified by us.

Bondholder(s) are advised to provide the specimen signature of the nominee to us/Registrar to expedite the
transmission of the Bond(s) to the nominee in the event of demise of the Bondholder(s). The signature can
be provided in the Application Form or subsequently at the time of making fresh nominations. This facility
of providing the specimen signature of the nominee is purely optional.

Notwithstanding anything stated above, since the allotment of Bonds in this Issue will be made only in
dematerialised mode, there is no need to make a separate nomination with the Bank. Nominations
registered with the respective Depository Participant of the applicant would prevail. If the Bondholders
require changing their nomination, they are requested to inform their respective Depository Participant.

15. Succession

Where a nomination has not been made or the nominee predeceases the Bondholder(s) the provisions of the
following paragraphs will apply:

In the event of the demise of the sole holder of the Bond, or the last survivor in case of joint-holders, we
will recognise the executor or administrator of the deceased Bondholder, or the holder of the succession
certificate or other legal representative as having title to the Bond(s). We shall not be bound to recognise
such executor, administrator or holder of the succession certificate or legal representative unless such
executor or administrator or holder of the succession certificate or legal representative obtains probate or
letter of administration or is a holder of the succession certificate or other legal representation, as the case
may be, from an appropriate court in India. We at our absolute discretion, may in any case, dispense with
production of probate or letter of administration or succession certificate or other legal representation.

16. Jurisdiction

The Bonds, the Debenture Trust Deeds, the Tripartite Agreements, the Registrar MoUs and other relevant
documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. The Bank in the

that the courts of Mumbai are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in
connection with the Debenture Trust Deeds or the Bonds (including a dispute relating to any non-
contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with the Debenture Trust Deeds and the Bonds and
that accordingly any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Debenture Trust

18. Debenture Trustee for the Bondholders

158
The Bank will appoint a Debenture Trustee to act for theBondholders. The Bank and the Debenture
Trustees will enter into a Debenture Trust Deed for each Tranche Issue specifying, inter alia, the powers,
authorities and obligations of the Debenture Trustees and the Bank. All Bondholders for each Series of
Bonds shall, without further act or deed, be deemed to have irrevocably given their consent to the
Debenture Trustee or any of its agents or authorized officials to do all such acts, deeds, matters and things
in respect of or relating to the Bonds as the Debenture Trustee may in their absolute discretion deem
necessary or require to be done in the interest of the Series Bondholders. Any payment made by us to the
Debenture Trustee on behalf of the Bondholders shall discharge us pro tanto to the Bondholders.

The Debenture Trustee will protect the interest of the Bondholders in the event of default by us in regard to
timely payment of interest and repayment of principal and they will take necessary action at the Bank‘s
cost.

19. Security

As specified in the Tranche Prospectus for the Bonds.

21. Provision of Applicant’s bank details at the time of rematerialisation of the Series Bonds or transfer

As a matter of precaution against possible fraudulent encashment of Bond Certificates due to loss or
misplacement, the particulars of the Applicant‘s bank account are mandatorily required to be provided at
the time of rematerialisation of the Series Bonds or transfer of the Bond Certificate. Applications without
these details are liable to be rejected. However, in relation to Applications for dematerialised Bonds, these
particulars will be taken directly from the Depositories. In case of Bonds held in physical form either on
account of rematerialisation or transfer, the Bondholders are advised to submit their bank account details
with the Registrar before the Record Date failing which the amounts will be dispatched to the postal
address of the Bondholders as held in the records of the Bank.

The record date for payment of interest or repayment of principal shall be 15 (fifteen) days prior to the

27. Transfer of the Bonds

The Bank in case of Bonds held in physical form shall maintain at its registered office (or such other place
as permitted by law) a register of Bondholders (the ―SBI Register‖) containing the particulars of the legal
owners of the Bonds issued by the Bank. In respect of Bonds held in dematerialised form, the register of
Bondholders maintained by the Depository under the Depositories Act shall be deemed to be a register of
Bondholder for the purposes of this condition.

The Bonds shall be transferred or transmitted in accordance with Applicable Laws. A suitable instrument of
transfer as may be prescribed by us may also be used to effect this.

Transfer in relation to Bonds in physical form: The Bonds are negotiable instruments and Bonds held in
physical form may be transferred by endorsement and delivery by the Bondholder(s). All endorsements
must be clear and vernacular endorsements must be translated into English immediately below the
endorsement. However, buyers of the Bonds are advised to send the Bond Certificate(s) to us or to such
persons as may be notified by us from time to time, along with a duly executed transfer deed or other
suitable instrument of transfer as may be prescribed by us for registration of transfer of the Bond(s). No
transfer will be valid unless and until entered on the SBI Register.

Transfer in relation to Bonds in electronic form: The normal procedure followed for transfer of securities
held in dematerialised form shall be followed for transfer of these Bonds held in electronic form. Transfers
may be only effected through the Depository in accordance with the provisions of the Depositories Act
and/or rules as notified by the Depositories from time to time. The seller is required to give delivery
instructions containing details of the buyer‘s DP account to his depository participant. In case the transferee
does not have a DP account, the seller can re-materialise the Bonds and thereby convert his dematerialised
holding into physical holding. Thereafter the Bonds can be transferred in the manner as stated above. In
case a holder of the Bonds in physical form wants to hold the Bonds in dematerialised form, he can choose
to dematerialise the securities through his Depository Participant.

In case of sale by or to companies, bodies corporate, societies registered under the Applicable Laws in
India, trusts, provident funds, superannuation funds, gratuity funds, pension funds, scientific and/or
industrial research organisations, commercial Banks, cooperative banks or regional rural banks, a certified
true copy of the Power of Attorney or such other authority as may be acceptable to us, must be lodged
separately at our Registered/Corporate Office or at the office of Registrar or such other person as may be
notified by us for this purpose, at the time of registration of Bonds.

28. Sharing of Information

information about the Bondholders available with it, our subsidiaries and affiliates and other banks,
financial institutions, credit bureaus, agencies, statutory bodies, as may be required and neither the bank nor
its subsidiaries and affiliates nor their agents shall be liable for use of the such information.

29. Notices

All notices to the Bondholders required to be given by the Bank or the Debenture Trustee shall be

newspaper each in Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Ahmedabad and/or, will be sent by post/courier
to the registered Bondholders from time to time.

30. Issue of Duplicate Bond Certificate(s)

If any Bond Certificate is mutilated or defaced it may be replaced by the Bank against the surrender of such
Bond Certificates, provided that where the Bond Certificates are mutilated or defaced, they will be replaced
only if the certificate numbers and the distinctive numbers are legible.

If any Bond Certificate is destroyed, stolen or lost then upon production of proof thereof to the Bank‘s
satisfaction and upon furnishing such indemnity/security and/or documents as we may deem adequate,
duplicate Bond Certificate(s) shall be issued.

31. Future Borrowings

We shall be entitled to make further issue of secured or unsecured debentures and/or raise term loans or
raise further funds from time to time from any persons, banks, financial institutions or bodies corporate or
any other agency without the consent of, or notification to or consultation with the Bondholders or the
Debenture Trustee.

# The rating pertains only to State Bank of Indore's (SBol's) CRiSIL-rated fIXed deposit programme, which has been
transferred to State Bank of India (SBI) following the merger of SBoI with SBI.

CRISIL has assigned its 'AAA/Stable' rating to State Bank ofIndia's (SB!'s) retail bonds issue of
RS.100-billion Lower Tier II bonds. The ratings on SB!' s other aforementioned debt instruments
have been reaffirmed at 'AAA/FAAA/Stable/P"t+'. The ratings continue to reflect the SBI group's
dominant position in the Indian banking industry, strong resource profile, and healthy capitalisation.
These rating strengths are partially offset by the group's modest asset quality with respect to its
rating category.

For arriving at its ratings on SBI, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of
SBI and its subsidiaries, including associate banks, collectively referred to as the SBI group. This is
because the subsidiaries and the associate banks are an integral part of SB!' s growth strategy.

The SBI group is the largest player in the Indian banking sector, with a market share of around 25
per cent in both deposits and advances. The group had consolidated deposits and advances of
RS.11.16 trillion and RS.8.70 trillion, respectively, as on March 31,2010. It has a strong brand
image and a pan-India presence, with a wide reach in rural and semi-urban areas. Apart from
banking, the SBI group also has a strong presence in other segments of financial services, such as
investment banking and life insurance. The SBI group has a strong resource profile, underpinned by
a large and diversified retail deposit base; this lends stability to its resource profile and also results
in a significantly higher proportion of low-cost current and savings account (CAS A) deposits (42.7
per cent of the group's total deposits as on March 31, 2010) compared to the industry average (35.4
per cent). On a standalone basis, SB!'s CASA deposits were 47.3 per cent as on March 31, 2010.
The group's cost of deposits was 5.74 per cent in 2009-10 (refers to financial year, Apiil1 to March
31) as against 6.2 per cent in 2008-09. On a standalone basis, SB!'s deposit cost was 5.61 per cent
in 2009-10 and was marginally higher than the industry average because of the sizable proportion of
high-cost deposits raised in 2008-09. While SB!'s deposit cost is likely to increase over the next
few quarters, it is expected to be partially offset by high proportion oflow-cost CASA deposits.

Moreover, the SBI group has a healthy capital position, marked by a large Tier I capital base
(Rs.812.61 billion as on March 31, 2010), and demonstrated ability to raise capital whenever
needed. The group had a comfortable Tier I capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 9.28 per cent as on
March 31, 2010 (as per Basel II guidelines). On a standalone basis, the bank's Tier I CAR was 9.45
per cent as on March 31,2010 and 9.57 per cent as on December 31,2010. SBI plans to raise
around RS.200 billion through a rights issue in the near term to support its growth plans over the
medium tenn. The group's return on assets ratio was 0.9 per cent in 2009-10. CRISIL believes that
the SBI group's profitability is likely to improve gradually over the medium telm with the
improvement in its interest spreads, supported by a sustained high CASA level, and the benefits
arising from improving operating efficiencies, supported by its expanded branch network. This is
likely to result in adequate internal accruals and support the group's capitalisation over the medium
term.

The SBI group has modest asset quality with respect to its rating category, marked by higher-than-
industry average gross non-perforn1ing assets (NPAs). The gross NPAs of SBI and its associate
banks were 2.71 per cent of total advances as on March 31, 2010, compared with the industry
average of2.4 per cent. The gross NPAs of SBI and its associate banks increased to 3.01 per cent as
on December 31,2010. On a standalone basis, SBl's gross NPAs remained higher at 3.17 per cent
as on December 31,2010 (3.05 per cent as on March 31, 2010). The slippages increased to around
2.5 per cent (on an annualised basis) during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as against
2.2 per cent in 2009-10. The deterioration in the asset quality along with higher provisioning
requirements has resulted in increased credit costs for the bank. Given the large-ticket corporate
exposures and the relatively unseasoned retail loan book, CRISIL believes that the SBI group's
asset quality is likely to remain average comp.ared to that of its peers over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that the SBI group will maintain its dominant position in the Indian financial
services sector over the medium term, and that SBI will remain an institution of national
importance, given its significance to India's economy and financial system. Furthermore, the
Government of India's (Gol's) ownership of SBI ensures that the bank continues to receive need-
based distress support, though the necessity for the same appears remote. The outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if the group's asset quality deteriorates steeply, or if there is a sharp decline in
its earnings profile.
