4. RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in
addition to the other information contained in this Disclosure Document before making any
investment decision relating to the Bonds. The occurrence of any of the following events, or the
occurrence of other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial, could cause
our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects to suffer and
which may lead to point of non-viability (“PONV”) and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider this
section in conjunction with the information contained in this Disclosure Document.
15
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
These risks and uncertainties are not the only issues that the Bank faces. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to the Bank or that the Bank currently believes to be immaterial
may also have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or business. Unless specified
or quantified in the relevant risk factors, the Bank is not in a position to quantify the financial or
other implications of any risk mentioned herein below.
If any one of the following stated risks actually occurs, the Bank’s business, financial conditions
and results of operations could suffer and, therefore, the value of the Bank’s Bonds could decline
and/or the Bank’s ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Bonds could be affected. More
than one risk factor may have simultaneous effect with regard to the Bonds such that the effect
of a particular risk factor may not be predictable. In addition, more than one risk factor may have
a compounding effect which may not be predictable. No prediction can be made as to the effect
that any combination of risk factors may have on the value of the Bonds and/or the Bank’s ability
to meet its obligations in respect of the Bonds. Potential investors should perform their own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Bank, and their own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Bank. Potential investors should consult their own
financial, legal, tax and other professional advisors as to the risks and investment considerations
with respect to the Bonds. Potential investors should thereafter reach their own views prior to
making any investment decision.
The Bank believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in
investing in the Bonds, but the inability of the Bank, as the case may be, to pay principal or other
amounts on or in connection with any Bonds may occur for other reasons and the Bank does not
represent that the statements below regarding the risks of holding any Bonds are exhaustive.
Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to
specify or quantify the financial or other implications of any of the risks mentioned herein.
Our results of operations and cash flows depend to a great extent on our net interest income.
Volatility in interest rates and other market conditions could materially and adversely impact
our cash flows and results of operations.
Our results of operations largely depend on our net interest income. For the Financial Year 2019,
our net interest income (i.e. gross interest income minus interest expense) represented 26.57 %
of our total income. Our interest-earning assets comprised both fixed interest rate assets and
floating interest rate assets, while the majority of our interest-bearing liabilities had fixed interest
rates. Any decrease in the interest rates applicable to our assets, without a corresponding decrease
in the interest rates applicable to our liabilities, will result in a decline in our net interest income
and consequently reduce our net interest margin.
Interest rates are sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including India’s GDP growth,
inflation, liquidity, the RBI’s monetary policy, deregulation of the financial sector in India,
domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to adequately manage our interest rate risk in the future. Volatility and
changes in market interest rates could disproportionately affect the interest we earn on our assets
as compared to the interest we pay on our liabilities.
Furthermore, in the event of rising interest rates, our borrowers may not be willing to pay
correspondingly higher interest rates on their borrowings and may choose to repay their loans
from us if they are able to switch to more competitively priced advances. In the event of falling
interest rates, we may face more challenges in retaining our customers if we are unable to switch
to more competitive rates as compared to other banks in the market. Any inability to retain

customers as a result of changing interest rates may also adversely impact our earnings and cash
flows in future periods.
In addition, under the regulations of RBI, we are required to maintain a minimum specified
percentage, currently 18.25 % statutory liquidity ratio (“SLR”), of our net demand and time
liabilities in Government or other approved securities. Yields on these investments, as well as
yields on our other interest earning assets, are dependent to a large extent on interest rates. In a
rising interest rate environment, especially if the increase was sudden or sharp, we could be
adversely affected by the decline in the market value of our Government securities portfolio and
other fixed income securities and may be required to further provide for depreciation in the
“available for sale” (“AFS”) and “held for trading” (“HFT”) categories.
The value of collateral may decrease or we may experience delays in enforcing the sale of
collateral when borrowers default on their obligations to us, which may result in failure to
recover the expected value of collateral security, exposing us to a potential loss.
As of 31 March 2019, 91.64% of our loans to corporate customers were secured by assets,
including property, plant and equipment. Our loans to corporate customers also include working
capital credit facilities that are typically secured by a first lien on inventory, receivables and other
current assets. In some cases, we may have taken further security of a first or second lien on fixed
assets or a pledge of financial assets like marketable securities. As of 31 March 2019, 97.17% of
our loans to retail customers were also secured by assets, predominantly gold, property and
vehicles.
We use a technology-based risk management system and follow strict internal risk management
guidelines on portfolio monitoring, which include periodic assessment of loan to security value
on the basis of conservative market price levels, limits on the amount of margin, ageing analysis
and pre-determined margin call thresholds. However, we may not be able to realize the full value
of our collateral as a result of, among other factors:
delays in bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings;
defects or deficiencies in the perfection of collateral (including due to inability to obtain
approvals that may be required from third parties);
fraud by borrowers;
decreases in value of the collateral, which may be particularly relevant in the case of gold
and traded securities;
an illiquid market for the sale of the collateral; and
Current legislative provisions or changes thereto and past or future judicial
pronouncements.
The Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest
Act, 2002, (the “SARFAESI Act”), the Recovery of Debts Due to Bank and Financial
Institutions Act, 1993 , Insolvency Act/proceedings and the RBI’s corporate debt restructuring
(“CDR”) mechanism have strengthened the ability of lenders to resolve NPAs by granting them
greater rights to enforce security and recover amounts owed from secured borrowers. Although
special tribunals have been set up for expeditious recovery of debts due to banks, any proceedings
brought may be subject to delays and administrative requirements that may result in, or be
accompanied by, a decrease in the value of the collateral.
As a result of the foregoing factors, we may not be able to realise the full value of collateral,
which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we are not able to control the level of NPAs in our portfolio effectively or if we are unable
to improve our provisioning coverage as a percentage of gross NPA, our business may be
adversely affected.
Various factors, including a rise in unemployment, a sharp and sustained rise in interest rates,
developments in the Indian economy, movements in global commodity markets and exchange
rates and global competition may cause an increase in the level of NPAs and have an adverse
impact on the quality of our loan portfolio. The RBI regulates some aspects of the recovery of
non-performing loans, such as the use of recovery agents. Any limitation on our ability to recover,
control and reduce non-performing and restructured loans as a result of these guidelines or
otherwise may affect our collections and ability to foreclose on existing NPAs.
As of 31 March 2019, our provision coverage as a percentage of NPAs was 42.46 %. However,
there can be no assurance that there will be no deterioration in the provisioning coverage as a
percentage of gross NPAs or otherwise or that the percentage of NPAs that we will be able to
recover will be similar to our past NPA recovery experience. If we are not able to control or
reduce the level of our NPAs, the overall quality of our loan portfolio may deteriorate, which
may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A portion of our advances are unsecured. If we are unable to recover such advances in a timely
manner or at all, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
While we have been selective in our lending policies and strive to satisfy ourselves with the credit
worthiness and repayment capacities of our customers, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to recover the interest and principal advanced by us in a timely manner. Any failure to
recover the unsecured advances given to our customers would expose us to a potential loss, which
could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The level of restructured advances in our portfolio may increase and the failure of such
restructured advances to perform as expected could adversely affect our financial condition
and results of operations.
In May 2013, the RBI issued final guidelines on the restructuring of advances. Pursuant to those
guidelines, advances that are restructured (other than due to delays in project implementation
under certain conditions and up to specified periods) from April 1, 2015 onwards would be
classified as non-performing.
The Government of India has enacted the Insolvency and Bankruptcy code, 2016 in order to
consolidate and amend the laws relating to reorganization and insolvency resolution of corporate
persons, partnership firms and individuals in a time bound manner for maximization of value of
assets of such persons to promote entrepreneurship, availability of credit and balance the interest
of all stakeholders including alteration in the order of priority of payment of secured creditors
made at par with Government dues and to establish an Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India,
and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
As per the code National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) will be the adjudicating authority in
case of Companies and LLPs whereas in case of Individuals and Partnership Firms it shall be
Debt Recovery Tribunal. The Central Government has also introduced amendments to Banking
Regulations Act, 1949 through Ordinance and notification thereafter empowering RBI to issue
directions to any banking company(ies) to initiate insolvency resolution process in respect of a
default, under the provisions of IBC 2016. Accordingly, RBI may issue directions with respect
to stressed assets and specify one or more authorities or committees with such members as the

stressed assets.
With a view to facilitate meaningful restructuring of MSME accounts that have become stressed,
RBI vide their circular No. DBR.No.BP.BC.18/21.04.048/2018-19 Dated January 1, 2019 has
permitted a one-time restructuring of existing loans to MSMEs classified as 'standard' without a
downgrade in the asset classification, subject to compliance of certain conditions stipulated in
the said circular.
Hon'ble Supreme Court, vide its order dated April 2, 2019, had held the RBI Circular dated
February 12, 2018 on Resolution of Stressed Assets as ultra vires. In light of the same Reserve
Bank of India has issued a revised circular No. DBR.No.BP.BC.45/21.04.048/2018-19 Dated
June 7, 2019 on the prudential framework for resolution of stressed assets by banks for
expeditious and effective resolution of stressed. The fundamental principles underlying the
revised regulatory approach for resolution of stressed assets include Early recognition and
reporting of default in respect of large borrowers, Complete discretion to lenders with regard to
design and implementation of resolution plans, system of disincentives in the form of additional
provisioning for delay in implementation of resolution plan or initiation of insolvency
proceedings, Withdrawal of asset classification dispensations on restructuring and future
upgrades to be contingent on a meaningful demonstration of satisfactory performance for a
reasonable period, aligning the definition of 'financial difficulty' with the guidelines issued by the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision; and making the signing of inter-creditor agreement
(ICA) by all lenders as mandatory, which will provide for a majority decision making criteria.
We are required to lend a minimum percentage of our adjusted net bank credit (“ANBC”) to
certain “priority sectors” and if we fail to meet these requirements, we must place the allocated
amount by RBI based on shortfall in an account with Government-sponsored Indian
development banks or with other financial institutions specified by the RBI. These deposits
typically carry interest rates lower than market rates, which would result in reduced interest
income on such advances. Any change in the RBI’s regulations relating to priority sector
lending could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operations.
In accordance with current RBI guidelines, all banks in India, including us, are subject to directed
lending regulations. We are required to lend 40.00% of our ANBC or credit equivalent amount
of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is higher, to “priority sectors”. Out of the advances we
are required to lend under the “priority sector”, at least 18.0% of our ANBC or credit equivalent
amount of off-balance sheet exposure, whichever is higher, must be lent to the agricultural sector
and at least 10.0% of our ANBC or credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet exposure,
whichever is higher, target for Advance to Micro Enterprises 7.5 per cent of ANBC or Credit
Equivalent Amount of Off-Balance Sheet Exposure, whichever is higher must be lent to weaker
sectors.
In case of any shortfall by us in meeting the priority sector lending requirements, we would
subsequently be required to place the allocated amount by RBI based on shortfall in priority
sector lending in an account with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
(“NABARD”) or with other financial institutions specified by the RBI. These deposits typically
carry interest rates lower than market rates, which would result in reduced interest income on
such advances. We have experienced instances of shortfalls in our directed lending to the priority
19

Dated: 20th January 2020
sectors in the past and we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the lending targets
towards priority sectors in the future.
Further, any change in the RBI’s guidelines may require us to increase our lending to the priority
sectors.
Banking is a heavily regulated industry and material changes in the regulations that govern
us could cause our business to suffer.
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 regulation and government
policies and accounting principles. Since 2005, the RBI has made several changes in regulations
applicable to banking companies, including:
risk-weights on certain categories of loans for computation of capital adequacy;
general provisioning requirements for various categories of assets;
capital requirements and accounting norms for securitisation;
policy interest rates, cash reserve ratio, cessation of payment of interest on cash reserve
balances;
limits on investments in financial sector enterprises and venture capital funds; and
Directed lending requirements.
The Banking Regulation Act imposes a number of restrictions, which affect our operating
flexibility and investors’ rights, including:
We are subject to restrictions in the incorporation of subsidiaries, which may prevent us
from exploiting emerging business opportunities in areas other than banking. We may
not open branches in new places of business and transfer our existing places of business,
which may hamper our operational flexibility.
Our ability to build overseas asset portfolios and exploit business opportunities overseas
is limited by the requirement to maintain assets in India of at least 75.0% of our demand
and time liabilities in India.
Our ability to produce documents and records for inspection is regulated.
The RBI is empowered to direct and generally advise us and may prohibit us from
entering into certain transactions and agreements.
We are required to obtain prior approval of the RBI before we appoint our Chairman,
Managing Director and CEO and any other full-time Directors and fix their
remuneration. The RBI has powers to remove managerial and other persons from office,
and to appoint additional directors. We are also required to obtain approval of the RBI
for the creation of floating charges for our borrowings, thereby hampering leverage.
Any changes in the regulatory environment under which we operate, or our inability to comply
with the regulations, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our Bank has a regional concentration in Southern India and any adverse change in the
economy of states in Southern India could impact our results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, we may not be successful in expanding our operations to other parts of India.
SIB has 870 branches as of 31 December 2019 of which 727 branches or 83.56% are located in
Southern India (comprising the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil
Nadu and the union territory of Pondicherry). As of 31 December, 2018 and 31 December, 2019
70%, 74% respectively, of our total advances and 80%, 79% respectively, of our total deposits
were from Southern India.

As on 31st March 2019, SIB has 870 branches out of which 727 branches or 83.56% are located
in Southern India (comprising the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil
Nadu and the union territory of Pondicherry). The branch distribution in south India as on 31
March, 2018 and 31 March 2017 was 712 (83.37%) out of 854 and 701 (83.41%) out of 850
respectively. As of 31 March 2017, March 31 2018, March 2019, 70%, 71%, 71% respectively,
of our total advances and 77%, 80%, 81% respectively, of our total deposits were from Southern
India.
Any disruption, disturbance or sustained downturn in the economy of or any adverse geological,
ecological or political circumstances in, the states in Southern India could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations
Additionally, while we continue to expand our operation outside of Southern India, we face risks
with our operations in geographic areas in which we do not possess the same level of familiarity
with the economy, consumer base and commercial operations. In addition, our competitors may
already have established operations in such areas and we may find it difficult to attract customers
in such new areas. We may not be able to successfully manage the risks of such an expansion,
which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
We may not be able to renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals
required to operate our business.
We require certain statutory and regulatory permits and approvals to operate our business. We
have a licence from the RBI, which requires us to comply with certain terms and conditions for
us to continue our banking operations. In the event that we are unable to comply with any or all
of these terms and conditions, or seek waivers or extensions of time for complying with these
terms and conditions, it is possible that the RBI may revoke this licence or may place stringent
restrictions on our operations. This may result in the interruption of all or some of our operations.
Further, under certain of our contractual arrangements, we are required to hold all necessary and
applicable approvals and licences from authorities such as the RBI and the IRDA.
Failure by us to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals, including those set
out above, may result in the interruption of our operations or delay or prevent our expansion plans
and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations
If we are unable to comply with the capital adequacy requirements stipulated by the RBI, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely
affected.
We are subject to regulations relating to the capital adequacy of banks, which determine the
minimum amount of capital we must hold as a percentage of the risk-weighted assets on our
portfolio, or Capital to Risk Weighted Asset Ratio (“CRAR”). Although we have been
maintaining a CRAR under the Basel III standards, which was 12.61% as of 31 March, 2019 and
12.17% as of 30 June, 2019, 12.08% as of 30 September 2019 and 12.02% as of 31 December
2019, as compared to the regulatory minimum requirement of 10.875% (including CCB of
1.875%), we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our CRAR above the regulatory
requirements. Further, any adverse developments could affect our ability to continue to satisfy
the capital adequacy requirements, including deterioration in our asset quality, decline in the
values of our investments or increase in applicable risk weight for different asset classes.
The RBI has issued the guidelines on Basel III capital regulations on 2 May, 2012, pursuant to
the Monetary Policy Statement 2012-13. These guidelines become effective from 1 April, 2013
21

Dated: 20th January 2020
in a phased manner. The Basel III capital ratios was initially planned to fully implement as of 31
March, 2019, which was subsequently deferred by RBI to 31 March 2020. The RBI Basel III
Capital Regulations require, among other things, higher levels of Tier 1 capital, including
common equity, capital conservation buffer, deductions from common equity Tier 1 capital for
investments in subsidiaries (with minority interest), changes in the structure of debt instruments
eligible for inclusion in Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital and preference shares in Tier 2 capital, criteria
for classification as common equity, methods to deal with credit risk and reputational risk,
introduction of a leverage ratio and criteria for investments in capital of the Banks, financial and
insurance entities (including where ownership is less than 10.0%). The RBI Basel III Capital
Regulations also stipulate that additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital should have loss absorbency
characteristics, which require them to be written down or be converted into common equity upon
the occurrence of a pre-specified trigger event.
With the implementation of the Basel III guidelines, we may be required to improve the quality,
quantity and transparency of Tier 1 capital, which will now have to be predominantly equity
shares. We may be required to apply regulatory deductions against core capital as opposed to
Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital and a minimum capital ratio may be set, among other suggested changes.
In addition, these changes may result in the incurrence of substantial compliance and monitoring
costs. Furthermore, with the implementation of Basel III guidelines, our ability to support and
grow our business could be limited by a declining capital adequacy ratio, if we are unable to
access or face difficulty in accessing the capital or have difficulty in obtaining capital in any other
manner.
If we fail to meet capital adequacy requirements, the RBI may take certain actions, including
restricting our lending and investment activities and the payment of dividends by us. These
actions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We are required to maintain cash reserve and statutory liquidity ratios and any increase in
these requirements could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Under the RBI regulations, we are subject to a CRR requirement under which we are currently
required to keep 4.0% of our net demand and time liabilities in a current account with the RBI.
We do not earn interest on cash reserves maintained with the RBI. The RBI may further increase
the CRR requirement as a monetary policy measure and has done so on numerous occasions.
Increases in the CRR requirement could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, under the Banking Regulation Act and the RBI regulations, our liabilities are subject
to an SLR requirement, according to which 18.25% of our net demand and time liabilities need
to be invested in Government securities, state government securities and other securities
approved by the RBI from time to time. In our experience, these securities generally carry fixed
coupons. When interest rates rise, the value of these fixed coupon securities depreciates. We
cannot assure you that investments in such securities will provide returns better than other market
instruments. Further, any increase in the CRR and SLR requirements would reduce the amount
of cash available for lending, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
We face maturity mismatches between our assets and liabilities. Our funding is primarily
through short-term and medium-term deposits, and if depositors do not roll over deposited
funds on maturity or if we are unable to continue to increase our deposits, our business could
be adversely affected.
22
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
Most of our funding requirements are met through short-term and medium-term funding sources,
primarily in the form of deposits. A portion of our assets have long-term maturities, creating a
possibility for funding mismatches.
In our experience, a substantial portion of our customer deposits have been rolled over on
maturity and have been, over time, a stable source of funding. However, if a significant
portion of our depositors do not roll over deposited funds upon maturity or do so for a shorter
maturity than that of our assets, which tend to have medium to long-term maturities, our liquidity
position could be adversely affected. We may be forced to pay higher interest rates in order to
attract or retain further deposits.
Our ability to raise fresh deposits and grow our deposit base depends in part on our ability to
expand our network of branches. Branch expansion plans can be undertaken subject to the
fulfilment of the conditions stipulated by RBI. There is no assurance that we will be able to
comply with conditions to meet our requirement of branch expansion to achieve the desired
growth in deposit base.
If we fail to sustain or achieve the growth rate of our deposit base, including our CASA base, our
business, liquidity position and financial condition may be adversely affected
We have concentrations of loans to and deposits from certain customers, which expose us to
risk of defaults by these borrowers and premature withdrawal of deposits by these depositors
that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
As of 31 March, 2019 our advances to the 20 largest borrowers accounted for approximately
8.07% (i.e. 5,957.21 Crores) compared to 31 March, 2018 our advances to the 20 largest
borrowers accounted for approximately 8.77% (i.e. 5,816.42 Crores). We cannot assure you that
there will not be any default or delay in payments of interest or principal from these borrowers.
As of 31 March, 2019 our deposits from the 20 largest depositors accounted for approximately
9.92% (i.e. 7,979.89 Crores) of our total deposits, compared to March 31, 2018 our deposits from
the 20 largest depositors accounted for approximately 8.60% (i.e. 6,194.33 Crores) of our total
deposits respectively. We cannot assure you that there will not be any premature withdrawals or
non-renewal of deposits from these depositors.
In the event that any of the above risks materialise, our financial condition and results of
operations may be adversely affected.
Deterioration in the performance of any industry sector in which we have significant exposure
may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our total exposure to borrowers is dispersed across various industry sectors, the most significant
of which are infrastructure; basic metal and metal products; and textiles
Despite monitoring our level of exposure to sectors and borrowers, any significant deterioration
in the performance of a particular sector driven by events not within our control, such as natural
calamities, regulatory action or policy announcements by central or state government authorities,
would adversely impact the ability of borrowers within that industry to service their debt
obligations to us. As a result, we would experience increased delinquency risk, which may
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to diversify our exposure over different industry sectors
in the future. Failure to maintain diverse exposure resulting in industry sector concentration may
adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, in case of any
significant deterioration in performance of such industry sector.

The contingent liabilities have arisen in the normal course of our business and are subject to the
prudential norms as prescribed by the RBI. If any of these contingent liabilities materialize, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
We could be subject to volatility in income from our treasury operations, which could have a
material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and our business.
Our treasury operations contributed 19.53%, of our total income during the Financial Year 2019.
Our income from treasury operations comprises interest and dividend income from investments,
profit from sale of investments and income from our foreign exchange operations. Our treasury
operations are vulnerable to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, equity prices and other
factors. Although we have operational controls and procedures in place for our treasury
operations, such as counterparty limits, position limits, stop loss limits and exposure limits, that
are designed to mitigate the extent of such losses, there can be no assurance that we will not incur
losses in the course of our proprietary trading on our fixed income book held in the HFT and AFS
portfolios. Any such losses could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Internal or external fraud and misconduct by our employees could adversely affect our
reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.
In the past, we have experienced acts of fraud and misconduct committed by our employees. For
further details in relation to the fraud and misconduct please refer page of this Disclosure
Document. Misconduct by our employees could include binding us to transactions that exceed
authorised limits or present unacceptable risks or hiding unauthorised or unlawful activities from
us.
Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use or disclosure of confidential
information, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious reputational or financial harm,
including harm to our brand. It is not always possible to deter misconduct by employees and the
precautions we take and the systems we have put in place to prevent and deter such activities may
not be effective in all cases. Any instances of such misconduct or fraud could adversely affect
our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are heavily reliant on IT systems in connection with financial controls, risk management and
transaction processing. The increasing size of our operations, which use automated control and
recording systems for record keeping, exposes us to the risk of errors in control and record
keeping. Given our high volume of transactions, certain errors may be repeated or compounded
before they are discovered and successfully rectified. Our dependence upon automated IT
systems to record and process transactions may further increase the risk that technical system
flaws will result in losses that are difficult to detect. As a result, we face the risk that the design
of our controls and procedures may prove inadequate thereby causing delays in detection or errors
in information.
Our on-line delivery channels are subject to various risks such as network connectivity failure,
information security issues and browser compatibility issues. We may also be subject to
disruptions of our IT systems, arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control
24

Dated: 20th January 2020
(including, for example, damage or incapacitation by human error, natural disasters, electrical or
telecommunication outages, sabotage, computer viruses, hacking, cyber-attacks or similar events,
or loss of support services from third parties such as internet backbone providers). So far, we
have not experienced widespread disruptions of service to our customers, but there can be no
assurance that we will not encounter disruptions in the future due to substantially increased
number of customers and transactions, or for other reasons. In the event we experience systems
interruptions, errors or downtime (which could result from a variety of causes, including changes
in customer use patterns, technological failure, changes to systems, linkages with third party
systems and power failures), this may give rise to deterioration in customer service and to loss or
liability to us and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
We have established and maintain a comprehensive disaster recovery centre in Bengaluru as part
of our risk management measures. However, if for any reason the switch over to the back-up
system does not take place or if a calamity occurs in both Kochi and Bengaluru such that our
business is compromised at both centres, our operations would be materially and adversely
affected.
Further, we are dependent on various external vendors for certain non-core elements of our
operations, including implementing IT infrastructure and hardware, branch roll-outs, networking,
managing our data centre and back-up support for disaster recovery and are exposed to the risk
that external vendors or service providers may be unable to fulfil their contractual obligations to
us (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees)
and the risk that their (or their vendors’) business continuity and data security systems prove to
be inadequate. Failure to perform any of these functions by our external vendors or service
providers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our risk management policies and procedures may not adequately address unidentified or
unanticipated risks.
We have devoted significant resources to develop our risk management policies and procedures
and aim to continue to do so in the future. Despite this, our policies and procedures to identify,
monitor and manage risks may not be fully effective. Some of our risk management systems are
not automated and are subject to human error. Some of our methods of managing risks are based
upon the use of observed historical market behaviour. As a result, these methods may not
accurately predict future risk exposures, which could be significantly greater than those indicated
by the historical measures.
To the extent any of the instruments and strategies we use to hedge or otherwise manage our
exposure to market or credit risk are not effective, we may not be able to mitigate effectively our
risk exposures in particular market environments or against particular types of risk. Further, some
of our risk management strategies may not be effective in a difficult or less liquid market
environment, where other market participants may be attempting to use the same or similar
strategies to deal with the difficult market conditions. In such circumstances, it may be difficult
for us to reduce our risk positions due to the activity of such other market participants. 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.
Our investment and interest rate risk are dependent upon our ability to properly identify, and
mark-to-market changes in the value of financial instruments caused by changes in market prices
or rates. Our earnings are dependent upon the effectiveness of our management of changes in
25

Dated: 20th January 2020
credit quality and risk concentrations, the accuracy of our valuation models and our critical
accounting estimates and the adequacy of our allowances for loan losses.
To the extent our assessments, assumptions or estimates prove inaccurate or not predictive of
actual results, we could suffer higher than anticipated losses. See also “−If we are not able to
control the level of NPAs in our portfolio effectively or if we are unable to improve our
provisioning coverage as a percentage of gross NPA, our business may be adversely affected”
above.
Management of operations, legal and regulatory risks requires, among other things, policies and
procedures to properly record and verify a large number of transactions and events, and these
policies and procedures may not be fully effective. As we seek to expand our operations, we also
face the risk that we may be unable to develop risk management policies and procedures that are
properly designed for new business areas or to manage the risks associated with the growth of
our existing businesses. Implementation and monitoring may prove challenging with respect to
businesses that we plan on developing. If we are unable to develop and implement effective risk
management policies, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, it may adversely impact our business.
In the past, we have witnessed rapid growth in both our business and our branch network. The
number of branches has grown from 850 as of March 31, 2017 to 854 as of 31 March, 2018 and
to 870 as of 31 March, 2019. Our total assets have grown from 74,312.15 crores as of 31 March,
2017 to 82,685.87 crores as of 31 March, 2018 and to 92,279.22 crores as of 31 March, 2019.
Our ability to effectively manage our growth depends primarily upon our ability to manage key
issues, such as selecting and retaining skilled manpower, establishing additional branches,
achieving cost efficiencies, maintaining an effective technology platform that can be continually
upgraded, developing profitable products and services to cater to the needs of our existing and
potential customers, improving our risk management systems, developing a knowledge base to
face emerging challenges and ensuring a high standard of customer service.
A significant reduction in our credit rating could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our debt is rated by various agencies. The Bonds proposed to be issued by the Bank have been
assigned a rating of “IND A/Negative” by India Ratings. Any downgrade in our credit ratings
may increase interest rates for refinancing our outstanding debt, which would increase our
financing costs, and adversely affect our future issuances of debt and our ability to raise new
capital on a competitive basis, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations.
The Indian banking industry is intensely competitive and our inability to compete effectively
may adversely affect our business.
We face intense competition from Indian and foreign commercial banks in all our products and
services. Some Indian banks have larger customer and deposit bases, larger branch networks and
wider capital base than we have. Further, some banks have recently experienced higher growth,
achieved better profitability and increased their market shares relative to us. We also face
competition in some or all of our products and services from NBFCs, mutual funds and other
entities operating in the financial sector.

Dated: 20th January 2020
Liberalisation of the Indian financial sector could also lead to a greater presence or new entries
of Indian and foreign banks offering a wider range of products and services, which could
adversely affect our competitive environment. The RBI has in recent past issued licence to new
banks, small finance banks and payment banks. It has also announced possible issue of further
licence in future. Consequent increase in competition in the banking industry could adversely
affect our profitability.
We also compete with foreign banks with operations in India. These competitors include a
number of large multinational banks and financial institutions. In November 2013, the RBI
released a framework for the setting up of wholly owned subsidiaries in India by foreign banks.
The framework encourages foreign banks to establish a presence in India by granting rights
similar to those received by Indian banks, subject to certain restrictions and safeguards. Under
the current framework, wholly-owned subsidiaries of foreign banks are allowed to raise Rupee
resources through issue of non-equity capital instruments. Further, wholly-owned subsidiaries of
foreign banks may be allowed to open branches in Tier 1 to Tier 6 centres (except at a few
locations considered sensitive on security considerations) without having the need for prior
permission from RBI in each case, subject to certain reporting requirements. The guidelines may
result in increased competition from foreign banks.
In addition, the moderation of growth in the Indian banking sector is leading to greater
competition for business opportunities. We may face attrition and difficulties in hiring at senior
management and other levels due to competition from existing Indian and foreign banks, as well
as new banks entering the market. Due to such intense competition, we may be unable to execute
our growth strategy successfully and offer competitive products and services, which may
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are involved in various legal proceedings, which if determined against us, could have an
adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our Bank is involved in various civil, criminal, taxation and regulatory proceedings. Most of
these proceedings are incidental to our business and banking operations and have generally arisen
in relation to recovery of dues from our borrowers, claims and consumer complaints from our
customers and in relation to certain claims from dismissed employees.
We cannot assure you that these legal proceedings will be decided in our favour. In addition,
should any developments arise, such as changes in Indian law or rulings against us by the
regulators, courts or tribunals, we may need to make provisions in our financial statements, which
could increase our expenses and current liabilities. If we fail to successfully defend our claims or
if our provisions prove to be inadequate, our financial condition and results of operations could
be adversely affected.
We undertake various foreign exchange transactions to hedge our customers’ business and for
proprietary trading, which exposes us to various kinds of risks, including credit risk, market risk
and exchange risk. We have adopted a market risk management policy, which is also articulated
in our asset liability management policy, to mitigate risks through various risk limits such as
counterparty limits, country wide exposure limits, daylight limits, overnight open position limits,
aggregate gap limits and value at risk limits. Adverse movements in foreign exchange rates may
also impact our borrowers negatively, which may in turn impact the quality of our exposure to
these borrowers. Volatility in foreign exchange rates could materially and adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.
27

(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
We are exposed to possible losses arising out of derivative transactions, which could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We undertake foreign exchange forward contracts for our customers and hedge them with other
banks. We are also engaged in the proprietary trading of foreign exchange forward contracts.
Our proprietary derivative transactions are subject to regular monitoring by our risk assessment
committee to ensure compliance with limits prescribed by the RBI. However, we cannot assure
you that we will be able to anticipate the movement in foreign exchange or at all. Failure to
anticipate the foreign exchange movement could cause us to incur losses in such derivatives or
forward contracts, thereby adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
We lease most of our business premises and any failure to renew such leases or their renewal
on terms unfavourable to us may affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Most of our business premises are leased. A failure to renew these lease agreements or a failure
to renew these lease agreements on terms favourable to us may require us to relocate operations.
If we are required to relocate operations, this may cause a disruption in our operations or result
in increased costs, or both, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
We may also face the risk of being evicted in the event that our landlords allege a breach on our
part of any terms under these lease agreements. This may cause a disruption in our operations or
result in increased costs, or both, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
We may face labour disruptions that would interfere with our operations and have an adverse
impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We are exposed to the risk of strikes and other industrial actions. Most of our employees up to
Scale IV are unionised and are members of South Indian Bank Officer’s Association and South
Indian Bank Employees Association. While our relations have been good with our employees,
we cannot guarantee that our employees will not undertake or participate in strikes, work
stoppage or other industrial action in the future. Any such event could disrupt our operations,
possibly for a significant period of time, result in increased wages and other benefits or otherwise
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers and
counterparties, we may rely on information furnished to us by or on behalf of customers and
counterparties, including financial statements and other financial information. We 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, we 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 difficulties associated with the inability to accurately assess the value of collateral and to
enforce rights in respect of collateral, along with the absence of such accurate statistical,
corporate and financial information, may decrease the accuracy of our assessments of credit risk,
thereby increasing the likelihood of borrower default on our loan and decreasing the likelihood
28
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
that we would be able to enforce any security in respect of such a loan or that the relevant
collateral will have a value commensurate to such a loan.
Difficulties in assessing credit risks associated with our day-to-day lending operations may lead
to an increase in the level of our non-performing and restructured assets, which could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our introduction of new products and services may not be successful and, as a result our
reputation could be harmed.
We may incur substantial costs to expand our range of products and services and cannot guarantee
that such new products will be successful once they are offered as a result of circumstances
beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, or due to inherent shortcomings of such
products and services. In addition, we may not correctly anticipate our customers’ needs or
desires, which may change over time. In the event that we fail to develop and launch new products
or services successfully, we may lose any or all of the investments that we have made in
promoting them, and our reputation with our customers would be harmed. In addition, if our
competitors are better able to anticipate the needs of those individuals in our target market, our
market share could decrease and our business could be adversely affected.
Our insurance coverage could prove inadequate to satisfy potential claims. If we were to incur
a serious uninsured loss or a loss that significantly exceeds the limits of our insurance policies,
it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We have taken out insurance within a range of coverage consistent with industry practice in India
to cover certain risks associated with our business. We cannot assure you that our current
insurance policies will insure us fully against all risks and losses that may arise in the future.
Even if such losses are insured, we may be required to pay a significant deductible on any claim
for recovery of such a loss, or the amount of the loss may exceed our coverage for the loss.
In addition, our insurance policies are subject to annual review, and we cannot assure you that
we will be able to renew these policies on similar or otherwise acceptable terms, or at all. If we
were to incur a serious uninsured loss or a loss that significantly exceeds the limits of our
insurance policies, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.
We are subject to Risk Based Supervision (“RBS”) by RBI. Non-compliance with RBI
guidelines could result in penalties which may adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
We are subject to Risk Based Supervision by RBI, in the past certain observations were made by
RBI during the RBS regarding our business and operations in its RBS reports. Similar
observations could also be made by the RBI during RBS in future. Inspection by the RBI is a
regular exercise and is carried out periodically by the RBI for all banks and financial institutions.
While we attempt to be in compliance with all regulatory provisions applicable to us, in the event
we are not able to comply with the observations made by the RBI, we may be subject to penalties
by the RBI. Imposition of any penalty by RBI may have a material adverse effect on our
reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
The proposed adoption of IND AS could result in our financial condition and results of
operations appearing materially different than under Indian GAAP.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has issued Ind AS (a revised set of accounting
standards) which largely converges the Indian accounting standards with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified these
29
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
accounting standards (Ind AS) for adoption. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) through vide
notification DBR. BP. BC. No. 29/ 21.07.001/ 2018-19 dated March 22, 2019, has deferred the
implementation of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) till further notice.
If we need to prepare our financials from any financial year going forward according to these
revised standards, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or changes in
shareholders’ equity may appear materially different under IND AS than under Indian GAAP.
This may have a material effect on the amount of income recognised during that period and in
the corresponding period in the comparative period. In addition, in our transition to IND AS
reporting, we may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing
our management information systems.
Economic instability and volatility in securities markets in other countries may also impact the
price of the Bonds.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in
other countries, particularly emerging market countries in Asia. Financial turmoil in Europe and
elsewhere in the world in recent years has affected the Indian economy. Although economic
conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can
have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. In the
recent past, the currencies of a few Asian countries including India suffered depreciation against
the US Dollar owing to amongst other, the announcement by the US government that it may
consider reducing its quantitative easing measures. A loss of investor confidence in the financial
systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets
and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also
have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial disruptions may occur again and could
harm our business, future financial performance and the prices of the Bonds.
The global credit and equity markets have experienced substantial dislocations, liquidity
disruptions and market corrections in recent years. Since September 2008, liquidity and credit
concerns and volatility in the global credit and financial markets increased significantly with the
bankruptcy or acquisition of, and government assistance extended to, several major US and
European financial institutions. These and other related events, such as the European sovereign
debt crisis, 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 global credit and financial markets. In response to such developments, legislators
and financial regulators in the United States and other jurisdictions, including India, have
implemented a number of policy measures designed to add stability to the financial markets.
However, the overall impact of these and other legislative and regulatory efforts on the global
financial markets is uncertain, and they may not have the intended stabilising effects. In the event
that the current difficult conditions in the global credit markets continue or if there is any
significant financial disruption, the trading volume and price of the Bonds may be adversely
affected.
A decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves may affect liquidity and interest rates in the
Indian economy, which could adversely affect us
A decline or future material decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves could impact the
valuation of the Rupee and could result in reduced liquidity and higher interest rates which could
adversely affect our borrowing rates and future financial performance.
Failure to obtain or renew regulatory approvals required in the ordinary course of our
business, in a timely manner or at all, may adversely affect our operations.
30
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
We require certain statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and approvals, including for change
of land use, in the ordinary course of our business, including approval, licenses and registrations
from the RBI. We may encounter problems or delays in obtaining these approvals or licenses in
fulfilling the conditions to any required approvals. There may also be delays on the part of
administrative bodies in reviewing applications and granting approvals. Any failure to obtain or
renew required approvals on acceptable terms or in a timely manner may disrupt the schedule of
development or sale or leasing of our projects and, in turn, adversely affect our business, results
of operation and financial condition.
We cannot assure you that our Bonds issued in this Private Placement will be listed on the
Stock Exchange in a timely manner or at all, which may restrict your ability to dispose of the
Bonds
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing of the Bonds will not be granted
by the Stock Exchange until after the Bonds offered in this Issue have been allotted. There could
be a failure or delay in listing the Bonds on the Stock Exchange which would restrict your ability
to dispose of the Bonds.
After this Placement, active trading market for our Bonds may not develop
The Bonds are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no trading. No assurance can
be given that an active trading market for the Bonds will develop, or as to the liquidity or
sustainability of any such market, the ability of holders to sell their Bonds or the price at which
holders of the Bond will be able to sell their Bond. If an active market for the Bonds fails to
develop or be sustained, the trading price of the Bonds could fall. If an active trading market were
to develop, the Bonds could trade at prices that may be lower than the initial offering price of the
Bonds. Whether or not the Bonds will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including:
(i) prevailing interest rates and the market for similar securities, (ii) general economic conditions
and (iii) the Issuer’s financial condition, financial performance and future prospects.
An investment in the Bonds involves multiple risks and such investment should only be made
after assessing the direction, timing and magnitude of potential future changes in the interest
rates, the risks associated with such investments and the terms and conditions of the Bonds. More
than one risk factor may have simultaneous effects with regard to the Bonds such that the effect
of a particular risk factor may not be predictable. In addition, more than one risk factor may have
a compounding effect, which may not be predictable. No assurance can be given as to the effect
that any combination of risk factors may have on the value of the Bonds.
Potential Investors should ensure that they understand the nature of the Bonds and the extent of
31
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
their exposure to risk, that they have sufficient knowledge, experience and access to professional
advisers to make their own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks
of investment in the Bonds and that they consider the suitability of the Bonds as an investment in
the light of their own circumstances and financial condition.
All securities where a fixed rate of interest is offered, such as the Bonds, are subject to price risk.
Interest rates are highly sensitive and fluctuations thereof are dependent upon many factors which
are beyond the Issuer’s control, including the monetary policies of the RBI, de-regulation of the
financial services sector in India, domestic and international economic and political conditions,
inflation and other factors. The price of such securities will vary inversely with changes in
prevailing interest rates, i.e. when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall and
when interest rates drop, the prices increase. The extent of fall or rise in the prices is a function
of the existing interest, days to maturity and the increase or decrease in the level of prevailing
interest rates. Increased rates of interest, which frequently accompany inflation and/or a growing
economy, are likely to have a negative effect on the price of the Bonds.
As per the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, save and except certain
companies governed by RBI and banking companies, every company is required to create DRR
for the purpose of redemption of debentures. Hence, we are not required to create DRR.
Accordingly, we may not consider it necessary to create DRR. Consequently, the Investor may
not be able to recover, on a timely basis or at all, the full value of the outstanding amounts and/or
the interest accrued thereon in connection with the Bonds.
The Bonds are being issued in compliance with RBI Guidelines/ RBI Norms, in terms of which
the Bondholders may be exposed to the risk of losing their investment amount under certain
specified conditions.
The present Issue of Bonds is being made in pursuance of master circular no.
DBR.No.BP.BC.1/21.06.201/2015-16 dated July 01, 2015 issued by the Reserve Bank of India
on Basel III Capital Regulations (“Master Circular”) covering terms and conditions for issue of
perpetual debt instruments in additional Tier 1 capital (Annex 4 of the Master Circular) and
minimum requirements to ensure loss absorbency of all non-equity regulatory capital instruments
at the point of non-viability (Annex 16 of the Master Circular). In the event of any inconsistency
in terms of the Bonds as laid down in the Disclosure Document/ Summary Term Sheet/ or any
other Transaction Document and terms of Master Circular, the provisions of Master Circular shall
prevail.
The Bonds, at the option of the Reserve Bank of India, may be written off upon the occurrence
of the trigger event, called the ‘Point of Non-Viability (PONV) Trigger’ stipulated below. The
amount of Bonds to be written-off will be determined by the RBI.
32
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
Such a decision would invariably imply that the write-off consequent upon the trigger event must
occur prior to any public sector injection of capital so that the capital provided by the public
sector is not diluted. As such, the contractual terms and conditions of an instrument must not
provide for any residual claims on the Issuer which are senior to ordinary shares of the Bank (or
banking group entity where applicable), following a trigger event and when write-off is
undertaken.
The provisions with respect to (a) determination of a non-viable Bank; (b) restoring viability; (c)
replenishment of equity; (d) treatment of Bonds in the event of winding-up, amalgamation,
acquisition, re-constitution etc. of the Bank; (e) order of write-off/ seniority of claims of the
Bondholders and (f) criteria to determine the PONV have been set forth in details in the Summary
Term Sheet.
5. REGULATORY DISCLOSURE

increase in average advances to Rs. 56,581.08 crores for the financial year 2019 from Rs.

Coupon The Bank shall have full discretion at all times to cancel distributions/payments.
Discretion Consequence of full discretion at all times to cancel distributions/payments is
that “dividend pushers” are prohibited. An instrument with a dividend pusher
obliges the issuing bank to make a dividend/coupon payment on the instrument
if it has made a payment on another (typically more junior) capital instrument or
share. This obligation is inconsistent with the requirement for full discretion at
all times. On cancellation of distributions /payments these payments will be
extinguished and the Bank shall have no obligation to make distributions /
payments in kinds as well.
Cancellation of discretionary payments will not be an event of default.
The Bank will have full access to cancelled payments, to meet obligations as
they fall due.
Cancellation of distributions/payments will not impose any restriction on the
Bank except in relation to distributions to common stakeholders.
(e) Coupons shall be paid out of ‘distributable items’ i.e. coupon shall be paid
out of current year profits. However, if current year profits are not sufficient,
coupon may be paid subject to availability of:
(i) Profits brought forward from previous years; and/or
(ii) Reserves representing appropriation of net profits, including statutory
reserves, and excluding share premium, revaluation reserve, foreign
currency translation reserve, investment reserve and reserves created on
amalgamation.
The accumulated losses and deferred revenue expenditure, if any, shall be netted off from
(i) and (ii) to arrive at the available balances for payment of coupon.
If the aggregate of: (a) profits in the current year; (b) profits brought forward from the
previous years and (c) permissible reserves as at (ii) above, excluding statutory reserves,
net of accumulated losses and deferred revenue expenditure are less than the amount of
coupon, only then the Bank shall make appropriation from the statutory reserves. In such
a case, the Banks shall be required to report to the Reserve Bank of India within 21 days
from the date of such appropriation in compliance with Section 17(2) of the Banking
Regulation Act 1949. However, prior approval of the Reserve Bank of India for
appropriation of reserves as above, in terms of circular no.
DBOD.BP.BCNo.31/21.04.018/2006-07 dated September 20, 2006 on ‘Section 17(2) of
Banking Regulation Act, 1949 on ‘Appropriation from Reserve Fund’ shall not be
required in this regard.
However, payment of coupon on the Bonds from the reserves are subject to the Bank
meeting minimum regulatory requirements for common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total
Capital ratios at all times and subject to the requirements of capital buffer frameworks in
terms of Basel III Guidelines (i.e. capital conservation buffer, counter cyclical capital
buffer and Domestic Systemically Important Banks).
The Bonds shall not have a credit sensitive coupon feature, i.e. a coupon that is
reset periodically based in whole or in part on the Banks’ credit standing. For
72
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
this purpose, any reference rate including a broad index which is sensitive to
changes to the Bank’s own creditworthiness and/ or to changes in the credit
worthiness of the wider banking sector will be treated as a credit sensitive
reference rate.
The coupon on the Bonds shall be non-cumulative. If coupon is not paid or paid
at a rate lessor than the coupon rate, the unpaid coupon will not be paid in future
years.
In the event that the Bank determines that it will be cancelling a payment of
coupon on the Bonds, the Bank will notify the Debenture Trustee not less than
21 calendar days prior to the relevant Coupon Payment Date of that fact and of
the amount that shall not be paid.
Dividend Stopper Dividend Stopper Clause will be applicable to these instruments and it may stop dividend
Clause payments on common shares in the event the holders of additional tier 1 instruments are
not paid dividend/coupon.
However, dividend stoppers will not impede the full discretion that Bank has at all times
to cancel distributions/payments on these instruments, nor can it act in a way that could
hinder the re-capitalisation of the Bank.
For example, it would not be permitted for a stopper on an Additional Tier 1 instrument
to:
(a) attempt to stop payment on another instrument where the payments on this other
instrument were not also fully discretionary;
(b) prevent distributions to shareholders for a period that extends beyond the point
in time that dividends/coupons on the Additional Tier 1 instrument are resumed;
(c) impede the normal operation of the bank or any restructuring activity (including
acquisitions/disposals).
A stopper may act to prohibit actions that are equivalent to the payment of a dividend,
such as the bank undertaking discretionary share buybacks, if otherwise permitted.
Day Count Basis Interest for each of the interest periods shall be computed as per Actual/
Actual day count convention on the face value of principal outstanding at the coupon rate
rounded off to the nearest rupee.
In case of a leap year, if February 29 falls during the tenor of the Bonds, then the number
of days shall be reckoned as 366 days (Actual/Actual day count convention) for a whole
one year period, irrespective of payment of coupon on half yearly basis. Thus for half
yearly coupon payment, 366 days would be reckoned twice as the denominator.
Interest Period means each period beginning on (and including) the deemed date(s) of
allotment or any coupon payment date and ending on (but excluding) the next coupon
payment date.
Interest on Interest at the coupon rate (subject to deduction of income tax/withholding tax under the
Application provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, or any other statutory modification or re-
Money enactment thereof, as applicable) will be paid to the applicants on the application money
for the Bonds for the period starting from and including the date of realization of
application money in Issuer’s bank account up to one day prior to the Deemed Date of
Allotment.
For the application amount that has been refunded, the interest on application money will
be paid along with the refund orders and for the application amount against which Bonds
have been allotted, the interest on application money will be paid within ten working days

from the Deemed Date of Allotment. Where an applicant is allotted lesser number of
Bonds then applied for, the excess amount paid on application will be refunded to the
applicant along with the interest on refunded money, and Income Tax at Source (TDS)
will be deducted at the applicable rate on interest on application money.
Default Interest In case of a default in payment of interest and/or principal redemption on the respective
Rate due dates (except in circumstances as mentioned in the RBI Norms/RBI Guidelines/ Basel
III Guidelines), additional interest @ 2.00% per annum over the documented Coupon Rate
will be payable by the Bank (subject to prevailing regulatory environment) for the
defaulting period i.e. from the date of occurrence of such default up to the date on which
the defaulted amounts together with default interest is paid.
Maturity/Tenor Perpetual

Redemption Not Applicable. However in case of redemption due to exercise of call option in

Call Option The Bonds may be called upon, at the initiative of the Bank only after a minimum period
of five years post allotment of the Bonds, subject to the below conditions:
(a) To exercise a Call Option Bank must receive prior approval of RBI (Department of
Banking Regulation); and
(b) Bank must not do anything which creates an expectation that the call will be
exercised. For example, to preclude such expectation of the instrument being called,
the dividend/ coupon reset date need not be co-terminus with the call date. Banks
may, at their discretion, consider having an appropriate gap between
dividend/coupon reset date and call date; and
(i) They replace the called instrument with capital of the same or better quality
and the replacement of this capital is done at conditions which are sustainable
for the income capacity of the Bank; or
(ii) The bank demonstrates that its capital position is well above the minimum
capital requirements after the Call Option is exercised.
74
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation Only
(This Disclosure Document is neither a Prospectus nor a statement in Lieu of Prospectus)
Dated: 20th January 2020
The use of tax event and regulatory event calls may be permitted. However, exercise of
the calls on account of these events is subject to the requirements set out in points (a) to
(c) above. RBI will permit the Bank to exercise the call only if the RBI is convinced that
the Bank was not in a position to anticipate these events at the time of issuance of the
Bonds.
To illustrate, if there is a change in tax treatment which makes the capital instrument with
tax deductible coupons into an instrument with non-tax deductible coupons, then the bank
would have the option (not obligation) to repurchase the instrument. In such a situation, a
bank may be allowed to replace the capital instrument with another capital instrument that
perhaps does have tax deductible coupons. Similarly, if there is a downgrade of the
instrument in regulatory classification (e.g. if it is decided by the RBI to exclude an
instrument from regulatory capital) the bank has the option to call the instrument and
replace it with an instrument with a better regulatory classification, or a lower coupon
with the same regulatory classification with prior approval of RBI. However, banks may
not create an expectation / signal an early redemption / maturity of the regulatory capital
instrument.
Call Option Date On fifth anniversary from the Deemed Date of Allotment or any anniversary date
thereafter with prior approval of RBI, subject to tax call/regulatory call.
In case of tax call or regulatory Call, the date may be specified in the notice to Trustees.
Call Option Price At par (Rs. 1.00 lac per Bond)
Call Notification 21 calendar days prior to the date of exercise of call option, ie. Issuer call, tax call or
Time regulatory call
Repurchase/ buy- (i) Principal of the instruments may be repaid (e.g. through repurchase or
back/ redemption redemption) only with prior approval of RBI and banks should not assume or
create market expectations that supervisory approval will be given (this
repurchase / buy-back /redemption of the principal is in a situation other than
in the event of exercise of call option by the bank). One of the major
differences is that in the case of the former, the option to offer the instrument
for repayment on announcement of the decision to repurchase / buy-back
/redeem the instrument, would lie with the investors whereas, in case of the
latter, it lies with the bank).
Bank replaces such instrument with capital of the same or better quality and the
replacement of this capital is done at conditions which are sustainable for the
income capacity of the bank; or
The bank demonstrates that its capital position is well above the minimum capital
requirements after the repurchase / buy-back / redemption.

For the purpose of coupon/ redemption payments, Business Days shall be all days when
the money market is functioning in Mumbai.
If any Coupon Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may
be made on the following Business Day. However the dates of the future coupon payments
shall be as per the schedule originally stipulated at the time of issuing Bonds. Thus the
subsequent coupon schedule shall not be disturbed merely because the payment date in
respect of one particular coupon payment has been postponed earlier because of it having
fallen on a holiday.
If the Call Option Due Date (also being the last Coupon Payment Date) of the Bonds falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the Call Option Price shall be paid by the Bank on
the immediately preceding Business Day along with interest accrued on the Bonds until
but excluding the date of such payment.

annum over and above the Coupon Rate, from the date of occurrence of such default
up to the date on which the defaulted amounts together with default interest is paid
4. Delay in execution of the Debenture Trust Deed: In case of failure of the Bank to
execute the Debenture Trust Deed within 60 (sixty) days after the allotment of the
debentures, without prejudice to the provisions of the Companies Act 2013 and the
SEBI (Issue and Listing of Debt Securities) Regulations, 2008, the Issuer shall also
pay an additional interest of at least 2% per annum over and above the agreed
Coupon rate, to the debenture holders till the execution of the Debenture Trust Deed.
Loss Absorption (1) If a pre-specified Trigger Event (as described below) occurs, the Issuer shall:
at the Pre-
Specified Trigger (i) notify the Debenture Trustee;
(ii) cancel any coupon which is accrued and unpaid to as on the Trigger event
date; and
(iii) without the need for the consent of Bondholders or the Debenture Trustee,
write down the outstanding principal of the Bonds by such amount as the
Issuer may in its absolute discretion decide. However, the aggregate amount
to be written-off for all additional tier 1 instruments on breaching the trigger
level must be at least the amount needed to immediately return the Bank’s
Common Equity Tier 1 to the trigger level or, if this is not possible, the full
principal value of the instruments. Further, the Bank will have full discretion
to determine the amount of additional tier 1 instruments to be written-down
subject to the amount of write-down not exceeding the amount which would
be required to bring the Common Equity Tier 1 1 to 8% of risk weighted
assets (minimum Common Equity Tier 1 of 5.5% + capital conservation
buffer of 2.5%).
(2) The pre-specified trigger for loss absorption through write-down of these bonds
is Common Equity Tier 1 capital of 6.125% of RWAs.
(3) The write-down of any Common Equity Tier 1 capital shall not be required before
a write-down of any Additional Tier 1 capital instrument.
(4) The write-down mechanism (temporary) which allocates losses to the Additional
Tier 1 instruments (additional tier 1 instruments) must generate Common Equity
Tier 1 (“CET1”) under Indian Accounting Standards. 4. When The Bank breaches
the pre-specified trigger of loss absorbency of additional tier 1 and the equity is
replenished through write-down, such replenished amount of equity will be
excluded from the total equity of the bank for the purpose of determining the
proportion of earnings to be paid out as dividend in terms of rules laid down for
maintaining capital conservation buffer. However, once the bank has attained
total Common Equity ratio of 8% without counting the replenished equity capital,
that point onwards, the bank may include the replenished equity capital for all
purposes (If the total CET1 ratio of the bank falls again below the 8%, it would
include the replenished capital for the purpose of applying the capital
conservation buffer framework).
(5) The write-down may be allowed more than once in case Bank hits the prespecified
trigger level subsequent to the first write-down which was partial.
(6) The write-down of additional tier 1 instruments are primarily intended to
replenish the equity in the event it is depleted by losses. Therefore, Bank will not
use writedown of additional tier 1 instruments to support expansion of balance
sheet by incurring further obligations / booking assets.

Dated: 20th January 2020
(7) If Bank goes into liquidation before the additional tier 1instruments have been
writtendown, these instruments will absorb losses in accordance with the order of
seniority indicated in this term sheet and as per usual legal provisions governing
priority of charges.
(8) If Bank goes into liquidation after the additional tier 1 instruments have been
writtendown, the holders of these instruments will have no claim on the proceeds
of liquidation.
(a) Amalgamation of a banking company: (Section 44 A of BR Act, 1949)
(9) If Bank is amalgamated with any other bank before the additional tier 1
instruments have been written-down, these instruments will become part of the
corresponding categories of regulatory capital of the new bank emerging after the
merger.
(10) If Bank is amalgamated with any other Bank after the additional tier 1 instruments
have been written-down temporarily, the amalgamated entity can write-up these
instruments as per its discretion.
(b) Scheme of reconstitution or amalgamation of a banking company: (Section 45 of
BR Act, 1949)
(11) If the relevant authorities decide to reconstitute Bank or amalgamate Bank with
any other Bank under the Section 45 of BR Act, 1949, such a Bank will be deemed
as non-viable or approaching non-viability and both the pre-specified trigger and
the trigger at the point of non-viability write off of these instruments will be
activated. Accordingly, these instruments will be fully written-off permanently
before amalgamation / reconstitution in accordance with these rules.
(12) The order of write down of these instruments will be same as mentioned in the
Seniority clause of this termsheet or elsewhere in the Term sheet/ disclosure
document.
(13) Reinstatement: Following a write-down pursuant to above conditions (temporary
write-down), the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds may be increased in
accordance with RBI guidelines. Bonds may be subject to more than one
Reinstatement.
Special Features: Minimum requirements to ensure Loss Absorbency of Non-equity Regulatory Capital
Instruments at the Point of Non-Viability
Mode of Loss The Bonds, at the option of the Reserve Bank of India, may be written off upon the
Absorption and occurrence of the trigger event, called the ‘Point of Non-Viability (PONV) Trigger’
Trigger Event stipulated below. The amount of Bonds to be written-off will be determined by the RBI.
a) a decision that a full and permanent write-off, without which the Bank would
become non-viable, is necessary, as determined by the Reserve Bank of India;
and
b) the decision to make a public sector injection of capital, or equivalent support,
without which the Bank would have become non-viable, as determined by the
relevant authority.
The write-off of any Common Equity Tier 1 capital shall not be required before the write-
off of any Non-equity (Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2) regulatory capital instrument.
Such a decision would invariably imply that the write-off consequent upon the trigger
event must occur prior to any public sector injection of capital so that the capital provided
by the public sector is not diluted. As such, the contractual terms and conditions of an
instrument must not provide for any residual claims on the Bank which are senior to
ordinary shares of the Bank (or banking group entity where applicable), following a

(d) Scheme of reconstitution or amalgamation of a banking company: (Section 45 of
BR Act, 1949)
If the relevant authorities decide to reconstitute the Bank or amalgamate the Bank
with any other bank under the Section 45 of BR Act, 1949, the Bank will be
deemed as non-viable or approaching non-viability and both the pre-specified
trigger and the trigger at the point of non-viability for write-down of Bonds will
be activated. Accordingly, the Bonds will be fully written-down permanently
before amalgamation/ reconstitution in accordance with the RBI Norms/ RBI
Guidelines.
Order of write-off/ The order of write-off of the Bonds vis-a-€vis other regulatory capital instruments which
Seniority of the Bank has already issued or may issue in future, will be in accordance with clause on
claims "Seniority of the Instrument" as mentioned earlier in this Summary Term Sheet and per
usual legal provisions governing priority of charges.
Write-off of any Common Equity Tier 1 (CET-1) capital shall not be required before the
write off of any Non-Equity (Additional Tier-I and Tier 2) regulatory capital instrument.
The decision of write-off shall be exercised across all Bondholders of the Bonds;
Once the Bonds are written-off, the Bondholders shall have no claim on the proceeds of
liquidation.
Criteria to a) The framework with respect to write-off of the Bonds will be invoked when the Bank
Determine the is adjudged by Reserve Bank of India to be approaching the point of non-viability,
PONV or has already reached the point of non-viability, but in the views of RBI:
c) Once the PONV is confirmed, the next step would be to decide whether rescue of
the Bank would be through write-off alone or write-off in conjunction with a public
sector injection of funds.
d) The trigger at PONV will be evaluated both at consolidated and solo level and breach
at either level will trigger conversion / write-off.
e) As the capital adequacy is applicable both at solo and consolidated levels, the
minority interests in respect of capital instruments issued by subsidiaries of banks
including overseas subsidiaries can be included in the consolidated capital of the
banking group only if these instruments have pre-specified triggers (in case of
additional tier 1 capital instruments) / loss absorbency at the PONV (for all non-
common equity capital instruments). In addition, where a bank wishes the instrument

The cost to the parent of its investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion
of equity of each subsidiary, at the date on which investment in each subsidiary is
made, is eliminated as per AS-21. So, in case of wholly-owned subsidiaries, it would
not matter whether or not it has same characteristics as the bank’s capital. However,
in the case of less than wholly owned subsidiaries (or in the case of non-equity
regulatory capital of the wholly owned subsidiaries, if issued to the third parties),
minority interests constitute additional capital for the banking group over and above
what is counted at solo level; therefore, it should be admitted only when it (and
consequently the entire capital in that category) has the same characteristics as the
bank’s capital.
1. a decision that a write-off, without which the bank or the subsidiary would
become non-viable, is necessary, as determined by the Reserve Bank of India;

In such cases, the subsidiary should obtain its regulator’s approval/ no-objection for
