- Includes foreign exchange gain on repatriation of retained earnings from overseas branches of ₹ 222 crore in FY2014, ₹ 103 crore in Q1-2015 and ₹ 165 crore in Q2-2015.
- The Bank creates Special Reserve through appropriation of profits, in order to avail tax deduction as per Section 36(1)(viii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), through its circular dated December 20, 2013, had advised banks to create deferred tax liability (DTL) on the amount outstanding in Special Reserve, as a matter of prudence. In accordance with RBI guidelines, during the year ended March 31, 2014 the Bank created DTL of ₹ 1,419 crore on Special Reserve outstanding at March 31, 2013, by reducing the reserves. Further, DTL of ₹ 88 crore and ₹ 95 crore has been created for the three months ended September 30, 2014 (September 30, 2013: Nil) and three months ended June 30, 2014 respectively on the estimated amount to be transferred to Special Reserve and DTL of ₹ 304 crore was created for the year ended March 31, 2014 on the amount transferred to Special Reserve. Accordingly, the tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014, three months ended June 30, 2014 and year ended March 31, 2014 is higher by ₹ 88 crore (September 30, 2013: Nil), ₹ 95 crore and ₹ 304 crore respectively.
- Prior period figures have been regrouped/re-arranged where necessary.
