Subsidiaries

Each subsidiary in the Group assesses the adequate level of capitalisation required to meet its respective host regulatory requirements and business needs. The Board of each subsidiary maintains oversight over the capital adequacy framework for the subsidiary either directly or through separately constituted committees.

Internal assessment of capital

The Bank's capital management framework includes a comprehensive internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) conducted annually which determines the adequate level of capitalisation for the Bank to meet regulatory norms and current and future business needs, including under stress scenarios. The ICAAP is formulated at both standalone bank level and the consolidated group level. The ICAAP encompasses capital

planning for a four-year time horizon, identification and measurement of material risks and the relationship between risk and capital.

The capital management framework is complemented by the risk management framework, which covers the policies, processes, methodologies and frameworks established for the management of material risks.

Stress testing, which is a key aspect of the ICAAP and the risk management framework, provides an insight on the impact of extreme but plausible scenarios on the Bank's risk profile and capital position. Based on the stress testing framework, the Bank conducts stress tests on its various portfolios and assesses the impact on its capital adequacy ratio and the adequacy of capital buffers for current and future periods. The Bank periodically assesses and refines its stress testing framework in an effort to ensure that the stress scenarios capture material risks as well as reflect market conditions and operating environment. The business and capital plans and the stress testing results of certain key group entities are integrated into the ICAAP.

Based on the ICAAP, the Bank determines the level of capital that needs to be maintained by considering the following in an integrated manner:

  • Bank's strategic focus, business plan and growth objectives;
  • regulatory capital requirements as per the RBI guidelines;
  • assessment of material risks and impact of stress testing;
  • perception of shareholders and investors;
  • future strategy with regard to investments or divestments in subsidiaries; and
  • evaluation of options to raise capital from domestic and overseas markets, as permitted by RBI from time to time.

Monitoring and reporting

The Board of Directors of the Bank maintains an active oversight over the Bank's capital adequacy levels. On a quarterly basis, an analysis of the capital adequacy position and the risk weighted assets and an assessment of the various aspects of Basel III on capital and risk management as stipulated by RBI, are reported to the Board. Further, the capital adequacy position of the banking subsidiaries and the non-banking subsidiaries based on the respective host regulatory requirements is also reported to the Board on a periodic basis. In line with RBI requirements for consolidated prudential report, the capital adequacy position of the Group (consolidated) is reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
