2 The above results have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank at its meeting held on April 21, 2017. There are no qualifications in the auditor’s report for the year ended March 31, 2017. The information presented above is extracted from the audited financial statements as stated.
3 The figures of the last quarter in each of the years are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date figures upto the end of the third quarter of the respective financial year.
4 The Board of Directors at their meeting proposed a dividend of  11 per share, subject to the approval of the members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. In terms of revised Accounting Standard (AS) 4 ‘Contingencies and Events occurring after the Balance sheet date’ as notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through amendments to Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016, the Bank has not appropriated proposed dividend (including tax) aggregating  3,392.71 crore from Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2017. However, the effect of the proposed dividend has been reckoned in determining capital funds in the computation of capital adequacy ratio as at March 31, 2017.
5 During the quarter and year ended March 31, 2017, the Bank allotted 7171600 and 34359200 shares respectively pursuant to the exercise of options under the approved employee stock option schemes.
6 Pursuant to RBI circular FMRD.DIRD.10/14.03.002/2015-16 dated May 19, 2016, the Bank has included its repo / reverse repo transactions under Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) and Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) with RBI under ‘Borrowings from RBI’ / ‘Balances with RBI’, as the case may be. Hitherto, these transactions were netted from / included under ‘Investments’. Figures of the previous periods have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary to conform to current period’s classification. The above change in classification has no impact on the profit of the Bank for the periods presented.
7 The RBI, vide its circulars dated November 21, 2016 and December 28, 2016, had given banks, in respect of certain eligible working capital accounts and loans of  1 crore or less, an additional 60/90 days for reckoning days past due for classification as NPAs. Accordingly, eligible accounts aggregating  245.21 crore which were overdue for more than 90 days as at December 31, 2016 were not classified as non-performing as at that date. Of these, accounts that remained outstanding as at March 31, 2017 are classified as NPAs. In addition, other eligible accounts which became more than 90 days overdue during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 have also been classified as non-performing as at March 31, 2017 without the Bank availing of the said dispensation. These accounts otherwise would have been classified as NPAs subsequent to March 31, 2017.
8 There was no divergence observed by RBI for the financial year 2015-16 in respect of the Bank’s asset classification and provisioning under the extant prudential norms on income recognition, asset classification and provisioning (IRACP).
9 RBI circular DBOD.No.BP.BC.1/21.06.201/2015-16 dated July 1, 2015 on ‘Basel III Capital Regulations’ read together with the RBI circular DBR.No.BP.BC.80/21.06.201/2014-15 dated March 31, 2015 on ‘Prudential Guidelines on Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Standards - Amendments’ requires banks to make applicable Pillar 3 disclosures including leverage ratio and liquidity coverage ratio under the Basel III Framework.
