9 (h) Expected credit loss
For financial reporting, expected credit loss is a calculation of the present value of the amount expected not to be recovered on financial assets. Credit risk is the potential that the obligor and counterparty will fail to meet its financial obligations to the lender. This requires an effective assessment and management of the credit risk at individual and portfolio level.
The key components of Credit Risk assessment are:
• Probability of default (PD): represents the likelihood of default over a defined time horizon.
• Exposure at default (EAD): represents total amount outstanding including accrued interest as at the reporting date.
• Loss given default (LGD): represents the proportion of EAD, that is likely-loss post default.
The definition of default is taken as more than 90 days past due (DPD) for all loans, individual, corporate and others.
Delinquency buckets considered for the staging of loans:
• 0-30 days past due (DPD) and overdue up to one calendar month are classified as stage 1,
• E1-90 DPD and overdue more than one calendar month, but not stage 3; in addition, SICR accounts are classified as stage 2, and
• e 90 DPD Accounts identified by the Corporation as Non-Performing Accounts under regulatory guidelines objective evidence for impairment (Qualitative Overlay) are classified as stage 3.
EAD is the total amount outstanding including accrued interest as at reporting date. The ECL is computed as a product of PD, LGD and EAD.
Macro-economic Variables: The measurement of ECL should be forward looking in nature. In order to incorporate forward looking macro-economic characteristics into ECL, relationships with macroeconomic variables such as Gross Domestic Product, Inflation, Total investments, National Savings, etc. (relevant variables to the underlying loan portfolio) are analysed and modelled into estimates of Probability of Default (PD). Forecasted 12-months and Lifetime PDs are driven by IMF macroeconomic forecasts for India released as part of World Economic Outlook, October 2021.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis: Further, the Corporation has also evaluated its individual and non-individual portfolios to determine any specific category of customers which may reflect higher credit losses (e.g. based on specific sectors) or borrowers who have shown stress due to COVID like salary cut / loss of pay, job loss temporary / permanent, business closed, business related financial difficulty, increase in business expenditure, etc. Basis such determination, the Corporation has recognised provisions as management overlay for specific categories of customers. Cumulative COVID-19 provision as at March 31, 2022 stood at ' 1,242.02 Crore (Previous Year ' 843.57 Crore).
9.1 Individual loans
9.1.1 Credit quality of assets
For the purpose of computing PD, the Corporation classifies all individual loans at amortized cost and has assessed them at the collective pool level.
The individual loan book has been divided into the following segments -
- Housing and Non-Housing
- Salaried and Self Employed
- Geographical location (North, East, West and South)
The 12 months default rates have been forecasted to create the PD term structure which incorporates both 12 months (stage 1 Loans) and lifetime PD (stage 2 Loans). The historical 12 months default rates are modelled against relevant macro-economic variables to arrive at future 12 months point-in-time default rates. The forecasted default rates are then used to create point-in-time PD term structure.
The vintage analysis methodology has been used to create the LGD vintage. The LGD vintage takes into account the recovery experience across accounts of a particular portfolio post default. The recoveries are tracked and discounted to the date of default using the interest rate. The individual loans portfolio has been considered together for the LGD computation.
9.2 Non-individual loans
9.2.1 Credit quality of assets
Measurement of ECL for stage 1 and certain stage 2 non-individual / corporate loans is based on portfolio approach where PD and LGD is calculated based on historic performance of the portfolio further segmented into: i) Corporate Finance ii) Construction Finance iii) Lease Rental Discounting iv) Inter-Corporate Deposits. Certain loans classified as stage 2 and all the loans classified as stage 3 are assessed for ECL provisioning based on case to case approach by calculating probability weighted average cashflows under different recovery scenarios.
The vintage analysis methodology has been used to create the LGD vintage for measurement of ECL, based on a portfolio approach. The LGD vintage takes into account the recovery experience across accounts of a particular portfolio post default. The recoveries are tracked and discounted to the date of default using the effective interest rate.
The Corporation has identified certain non-individual accounts as Watch List under Stage 2 based on the following criteria:
• Builders' Cash flows are insufficient to service the loan due to slow sales or the project is stalled.
• Borrowers' operational cashflows are insufficient indicating possibility of further delayed payments.
• Security cover is insufficient for repayment of loans.
• Where the borrowing company has been proceeded upon under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) by creditors and such reference has been admitted by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
Such accounts identified as watchlist are upgraded by the Corporation, where the management is satisfied that the risks associated with the account has abated.
9.3 ECL Provision
In addition to the management overlays described above in relation to the impact of COVID 19, the management has recognised additional provisions towards overlay in relation to specific categories of individual customers e.g. loans associated with incomplete / delayed projects, reduction in collateral value, loans associated with specific stage 3 customers, loans associated with projects covered by subvention schemes.
Further, the Corporation has also applied point in time method for determining the probability of default in relation to computation of provision under the expected credit loss model for non-individual customers.

The actuarial assumptions include discount rate of 7.25% (Previous Year 6.82%) and an average expected future period of 14 years (Previous Year 14 years). Expected guaranteed interest rate (weighted average yield) is 8.07% (Previous Year 8.83%).
The Corporation has recognised ' 30.01 Crore (Previous Year ' 25.79 Crore) for provident fund contributions in the statement of profit and loss. The contributions payable to these plans by the Corporation are at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
Gratuity
The Corporation has a defined benefit gratuity plan in India for its employees (funded). The Corporation's gratuity plan requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund. The fund is managed by a trust which is governed by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees are responsible for the administration of the plan assets and for the definition of the investment strategy.
During the year, there were no plan amendments and curtailments.
A separate trust fund is created to manage the Gratuity plan and the contribution to the trust fund is done in accordance with Rule 103 of the Income Tax Rules, 1962.
Risks associated with defined benefit plan
Provident Fund and Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and Corporation is exposed to the following risks:
Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate, which is linked to the Government Securities rate, will increases the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level may increase the plan's liability.
Investment risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.
Asset liability matching (ALM) risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, it generally reduces ALM risk.
Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.
Other post retirement benefit plan
The details of the Corporation's post-retirement benefits plans for its employees including whole-time directors are given below which is as certified by the actuary and relied upon by the auditors:
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.
The weighted average duration of the Defined Benefit Obligation as at March 31, 2022 is 8 years (Previous Year : 8 years).
Funding arrangement and policy
The contribution by the Corporation to fund the liabilities of the plan has to be invested. The trustees of the plan are required to invest the funds as per the prescribed pattern of investments laid out in the income tax rules for such approved schemes. Due to the restrictions in the type of investments that can be held by the fund, it is not possible to explicitly follow an asset-liability matching strategy to actively manage liquidity risk.
Estimated amount of contribution expected to be paid to the fund during the annual period being after the Balance Sheet date is ' 23.87 Crore (Previous Year ' 12.95 Crore).
38.2 Method used for accounting for share based payment plan
The stock options granted to employees pursuant to the Corporation's Stock options Schemes, are measured at the fair value of the options at the grant date using Black-Scholes model for grants given and vested after the Ind AS transition date of April 1, 2017. The fair value of the options determined at grant date is recognised as employee compensation cost over the vesting period on straight line basis over the period of option, based on the number of grants expected to vest, with corresponding increase in equity.
40. Contingent liabilities and commitments
40.1 The Corporation is involved in certain appellate, judicial and arbitration proceedings (including those described below) concerning matters arising in the normal course of business including claims from revenue authorities, customers, contingencies arising from having issued guarantees to lenders or to other entities. The proceedings in respect of these matters are in various stages. Management has assessed the possible obligations arising from such claims against the Corporation, in accordance with the requirements of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 37 and based on judicial precedents, consultation with lawyers or based on its historical experiences. Accordingly, Management is of the view that based on currently available information, no provision in addition to that already recognised in its financial statements is considered necessary in respect of the above.
40.2 Given below are amounts in respect of claims asserted by revenue authorities and others:
(a) Contingent liability in respect of income-tax demands, net of amounts provided for and disputed by the Corporation, amounts to ' 2,581.56 Crore (Previous Year ' 2,064.18 Crore). The said amount has been paid/adjusted and will be received as refund if the matters are decided in favour of the Corporation.
(b) Contingent liability in respect of disputed dues towards wealth tax amounts to ' 0.11 Crore (Previous Year ' 0.13 Crore).
(c) Contingent liability in respect of disputed dues towards Service tax not provided for by the Corporation amounts to ' 17.26 Crore (Previous Year ' 0.80 Crore).
The Management is generally unable to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss for proceedings or disputes other than those included in the estimate above as plaintiffs / parties have not claimed an amount of money damages, the proceedings are in early stages and/or there are significant factual issues to be resolved.
The Management believes that the above claims made are untenable and is contesting them.
40.3 Contingent liability in respect of guarantees and undertakings comprise of the following:
a) Guarantees outstanding ' 367.83 Crore (Previous Year ' 299.50 Crore).
b) Corporate undertakings for securitisation and assignment of loans aggregated to ' 1,152.72 Crore (Previous Year ' 1,152.68 Crore). The outflows would arise in the event of a shortfall, if any, in the cash flows of the pool of the securitised and assigned loans.
In respect of these guarantees and undertaking, the Management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the maximum outflow that could arise, will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition.
40.4 Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for (net of advances) is ' 345.55 Crore (Previous Year ' 297.33 Crore).
40.5 Estimated amount of investment commitment on venture fund and alternative investment fund is ' 978.72 Crore (Previous Year ' 564.59 Crore).
The Corporation has made provision towards loans and advances, trade receivable, investments, inter corporate deposits and other financial assets.
Impairment on loans arising during the years includes impairment of ' 335.00 Crore (Previous Year ' 468.00 Crore) relating to interest on stage 3 accounts (credit impaired assets), which is netted off from interest income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Key management personnel are those individuals who have the authority and responsibility for planning and exercising power to directly or indirectly control the activities of the Corporation and its employees. The Corporation includes the members of the Board of Directors which include independent directors (and its sub-committees) and Executive Committee to be key management personnel for the purposes of Ind AS 24 Related Party Disclosures.
Transactions with key management personnel of the Corporation
The Corporation enters into transactions, arrangements and agreements involving directors, senior management and their business associates, or close family members, in the ordinary course of business under the same commercial and market terms, interest and commission rates that apply to non-related parties.
The Corporation manages various risks associated with its business. These risks include liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and counterparty risk.
The Corporation manages the aforesaid risk, on an ongoing basis, in accordance with the framework under the Board approved policies such as Financial Risk Management policy, Asset Liability Management policy.
Liquidity risks are managed through a combination of strategies like managing tenors in line with the Asset Liability Management policy and adequate liquidity cover is maintained in line with the RBI's Liquidity Risk Management Framework. Interest rate risks are managed by entering into interest rate swaps. The currency risk on borrowings is actively managed mainly through a combination of currency swaps, forward contracts and option contracts. Counterparty risk is reviewed periodically to ensure that exposure to various counterparties is well diversified and within the limits fixed by the Derivative Committee. It is also managed by entering into collateralization arrangements with banking counterparties to the extent possible.
43.3.2 Valuation technique used to determine fair value
The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price (fair value of the consideration given or received). Subsequent to initial recognition, the Corporation determines the fair value of financial instruments that are quoted in active markets using the quoted bid prices (financial assets held) or quoted ask prices (financial liabilities held) and using valuation techniques for other instruments. Valuation techniques include discounted cash flow method, market comparable method, recent transactions and other valuation models.
The Corporation measures financial instruments, such as investments (other than equity investments in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associates) at fair value.
The Corporation uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, as described below:
Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, units of mutual funds (open ended) and traded bonds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market for example, Securities receipts, Mutual Funds (close ended) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2, this level of hierarchy includes financial assets, measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data, this level of hierarchy includes unlisted equity instruments, venture fund units and security receipts.
43.3.3 Valuation Process - Equity Instrument Level 3
When the fair value of equity investments cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair values are measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, market comparable method and based on recent transactions happened in respective companies. The inputs to these models are taken from observable market where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is exercised in establishing fair values. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
For certain unquoted equity instruments, recent information is insufficient to measure fair value and cost, represents the best estimate of fair value. These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading.
43.3.6.1 The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are considered at the amount, at which the instrument could be exchanged in current transaction between willing parties, other than in, forced or liquidation sale.
43.3.6.2 Loans
Substantially most of the loans are repriced frequently, with interest rates broadly in line with current interest rates, the carrying value of such loans amounting to ' 5,54,862.51 Crore (Previous Year ' 4,85,294.26 Crore) approximates their fair value.
43.3.6.3 Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
With respect to Bank balances and Cash and cash equivalents (Refer Notes 5 and 6), Trade receivables (Refer Note 8), Other financial assets (Refer Note 11), Trade payables (Refer Note 17) and Other financial liabilities (Refer Note 22), the carrying value approximates the fair value.
43.3.6.4 Fair value of Non Convertible Debentures has been computed using annualized Government bond yield provided by FBIL and corresponding fortnightly corporate bond spreads provided by FIMMDA.
43.4 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may occur from the failure of any party to abide by the terms and conditions of any contract, principally the failure to make required payments of amounts due to the Corporation. In its lending operations, the Corporation is principally exposed to credit risk.
The credit risk is governed by various Product Policies. The Product Policy outlines the type of products that can be offered, customer categories, the targeted customer profile and the credit approval process and limits.
Credit Approval Authorities
The Board of Directors have delegated loan approving authority to branch sanctioning committees/ management committee/ committee of directors, depending upon the nature of loan (i.e. retail/non-individual) and also depending upon the value of the loan.
Credit Risk Assessment Methodology43.4.1 Corporate Portfolio
The Corporation has an established credit appraisal procedure which has been detailed in Corporate Loans Policy and Developer Loans Policy respectively. The policies outline appraisal norms including assessment of quantitative and qualitative parameters along with guidelines for various products. The policy also includes process for approval of Loans which are subject to review and approval by Sanctioning Committees.
The Corporation carries out a detailed analysis of funding requirements, including normal capital expenses, long-term working capital requirements and temporary imbalances in liquidity. A significant portion of Corporate Finance loans are secured by a lien over appropriate assets of the borrower.
Borrower risk is evaluated by considering:
• the risks and prospects associated with the industry in which the borrower is operating (industry risk);
• the financial position of the borrower by analysing the quality of its financial statements, its past financial performance, its financial flexibility in terms of ability to raise capital and its cash flow adequacy (financial risk);
• the borrower's relative market position and operating efficiency (business risk);
• the quality of management by analysing their track record, payment record and financial conservatism (management risk); and
• the risks with respect to specific projects, both pre-implementation, such as construction risk and funding risk, as well as post-implementation risks such as industry, business, financial and management risks related to the project (project risk).
Restructuring, ECLGS and Moratorium Guidelines issued by RBI are adopted for loans on a selective basis, after assessing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses.
43.4.2 Lease Rental Discounting
Loan is given against assured sum of rentals/receivables.
The risk assessment procedure include:
• carrying out a detailed evaluation of terms of Lease / Leave and License Agreements such as lease rental receivables, term of the leases and periodicity of rentals.
• conducting due diligence on and appraisal of Borrowers / Lessors and Lessees including due diligence of project/property. These Loans are secured by project property and serviced from rentals/receivables.
43.4.3 Construction Finance
Loan given for construction of Residential/Commercial properties.
The Corporation has a framework for appraisal and execution of Construction finance transactions detailed in Developer Loans Policy. The Corporation believes that this framework creates optimal risk identification, allocation and mitigation and helps minimize residual risk.
The project finance approval process includes detailed evaluation of technical, commercial, financial, legal with respect to the projects and the Borrower Group's financial strength and experience.
As part of the appraisal process, a note is generated, which identifies each of the project risks, mitigating factors and residual risks associated with the project. After credit approval, an Offer Letter is issued to the borrower, which outlines the principal financial terms of the proposed facility, Borrowers/Security providers obligations, conditions precedent to disbursement, undertakings from and covenants on the borrower.
After completion of all formalities by the borrower, a loan transaction documents are entered into with the borrower.
Construction finance loans are generally fully secured and have full recourse against the borrower. In most cases, the Corporation has mortgage of Project financed. Security typically include project property and receivables of the project property, as well as other tangible assets of the borrower, both present and future. The Corporation also takes additional credit comforts such as corporate or personal guarantees and shortfall undertaking from one or more sponsors of the project.
The Corporation requires the borrower to submit periodic reports and continue to monitor the exposure until loans are fully repaid.
Further since both Lease Rental Discounting and Construction Finance Facilities are mostly serviced from receivables from the projects/property financed, all the cash flows are charged to the Corporation, and are ring fenced by way of Escrow mechanism. Under this mechanism all such receivables flow into Escrow Account from where amounts are directly credited into the Corporation's account.
Restructuring of Accounts
The economic fallout on account of COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant financial stress for many borrowers. Considering the above, with the intent to facilitate revival and to mitigate the impact on ultimate borrowers, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) introduced measures under the Resolution Framework for COVID-19. As per the RBI Framework, the Corporation established a policy to provide resolution for eligible borrowers having stress on account of COVID-19 in line with the RBI Guidelines.
As advised under the said circular and Corporation's policy, the eligibility of customers was assessed, so as to understand the extent of financial stress caused due to COVID-19, i.e. delay in construction, sales and consequent cash flow mismatch, duly supported by the documentary evidence. In addition to assessing the impact of stress, the Resolution framework was discussed with the eligible borrower and existing lenders (in case of multiple lenders) prior to invocation of Resolution plan. The Resolution Framework offered to ensure that the servicing of the restructured loan is not likely to be impacted. The implementation of Resolution plan is under process for respective accounts in line with the timelines prescribed in the said Circular.
Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme
During the previous year, the Government of India through Ministry of Finance, Department of Financial Services, had introduced the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS), for providing 100% guarantee coverage for additional working capital term loans (in case of Banks and FIs) and additional term loans (in case of NBFCs) upto 20% of their entire outstanding credit (upto limits specified under the Scheme) as on February 29, 2020.
ECLGS was offered to borrowers eligible as per the criteria specified in the scheme and Corporation's Board approved policy. The Corporation carried out credit assessment of eligible borrowers to assess the requirement of the borrower and the qualifying criteria as per criteria as specified by National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company Limited (NCGTC).
Moratorium
The RBI had announced Moratorium for 6 months on repayments for the period March 2020 to August 2020 for term loans and working capital facilities outstanding as on February 29, 2020. This was part of the regulatory measures adopted to mitigate the burden of debt servicing brought about by disruptions on account of Covid pandemic and to ensure continuity of viable businesses. As part of the scheme and as per Corporation's Board approved policy, the Corporation has provided moratorium to eligible borrowers.
43.4.4 Individual Loans
Our customers for retail loans are primarily low, middle and high-income, salaried and self-employed individuals. The Corporation's credit officers evaluate credit proposals on the basis of active credit policies as on the date of approval. The criteria typically include factors such as the borrower's income & obligations, the loan-to-value ratio and demographic parameters subject to regulatory guidelines. Any deviations need to be approved at the designated levels.
The various process controls such as PAN Number Check, CERSAI database scrubbing, Credit Bureau Report analysis are undertaken prior to approval of a loan. In addition External agencies such as field investigation agencies facilitate a comprehensive due diligence process including visits to offices and homes.
The Corporation analyses the portfolio performance of each product segment regularly, and use these as inputs in revising our product programs, target market definitions and credit assessment criteria to meet our twin objectives of combining volume growth and maintenance of asset quality. Individual loans are secured by the mortgage of the borrowers property.
Retail
During the previous year, additional Credit Checks were introduced in the Retail Policy in accordance with certain Regulatory measures announced by RBI to mitigate the burden of debt servicing as a result of disruptions in cash flow due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Restructuring of Accounts
The eligibility of customers was assessed to understand the extent of financial stress caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic i.e. loss of jobs, pay cut, business shut down etc. In addition, the due diligence process was further strengthened to assess the impact of stress such as appraising income documents, bank statement and visits at work place etc. and ensured that Loan to Value ratios are not negatively impacted and underlying collateral is enforceable. The borrowers were counseled as regards the Resolution Framework to minimise the risk of default, post restructuring.
Emergency Credit Linked Guarantee Scheme (ECLGs)
Since the ECLGs facility was available to customers in business segment/MSME, the regular credit checks, as already in place for such customers, were used to assess the impact of stress in the borrower's books of account. The qualifying criteria as per NCGTC was strictly adhered to. In addition, borrower's income tax return/ books of account / Chartered Accountant certificate / Collection of GSTIN nos. end use certificate etc were appraised to assess and qualify under the norms. Such loans were appraised by a dedicated team to ensure that Loan to Value ratios are not negatively impacted / and underlying collateral is enforceable.
Credit Risk
The Corporation measures, monitors and manages credit risk at an individual borrower level and at the group exposure level for corporate borrowers. The credit risk for individual borrowers is being managed at portfolio level for both Housing Loans and Non Housing Loans. The Corporation has a structured and standardized credit approval process, which includes a well-established procedure of comprehensive credit appraisal. The Corporation has additionally taken the following measures:-
• Lower borrower group exposure limits.
• Establishment of a separate Policy Implementation & Process Monitoring (PIPM) team to enhance focus on monitoring of process implementation at the branches and to facilitate proactive action wherever required.
• Enhanced monitoring of Retail product portfolios through periodic review.
43.4.5 Risk Management and Portfolio Review
The Corporation ensures effective monitoring of credit facilities through a risk-based asset review framework under which the frequency of asset review is determined depending on the risk associated with the product. For both Corporate and Individual borrowers, the Operations team verifies adherence to the terms of the credit approval prior to the commitment and disbursement of credit facilities. The Operations team monitors compliance with the terms and conditions for credit facilities prior to disbursement. It also reviews the completeness of documentation, creation of security and compliance with regulatory guidelines.
The Credit Risk Management team of the Corporation, regularly reviews the credit quality of the portfolio and various sub-portfolios. A summary of the reviews carried out by the Credit Risk Management is submitted to the Branches & Management Team for its information. Exposure to non-individual entities in stress is reviewed frequently by a credit review committee consisting of senior management personnel.
The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) of the Corporation also reviews high value credit proposals and evaluates sources and mitigation for external and internal risks.
The Policy implementation and Process Monitoring team reviews adherence to policies and processes, carries out audit and briefs the Audit Committee and the Board periodically.
43.4.6 Collateral and other credit enhancements
The carrying amount of loans as at March 31 2022 is ' 5,68,363.29 Crore (Previous Year ' 4,98,298.03 Crore) which best represent the maximum exposure to credit risk, the related expected credit loss amount to ' 13,500.78 Crore (Previous Year ' 13,003.77 Crore). The Corporation has right to sell or pledge the collateral in case borrower defaults.
43.5 Liquidity Risk
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the Corporation's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for: all non-derivative financial liabilities and net and gross settled derivative financial instruments, for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.
43.6 Market Risk43.6.1 Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company's functional currency i.e. INR. The Corporation has overseas foreign currency borrowings and is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to the USD and JPY. The Corporation uses a combination of currency swaps, forward contracts and option contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk. The objective of the hedges is to minimize the volatility of the INR cash flows. The Corporation's risk management policy allows it to keep the foreign currency risk open upto 5% of the total borrowings.
The Corporation designates the intrinsic value of the forward and option contracts as hedging instruments. In case the hedge effectiveness is 100%, the change in the intrinsic value of the forward contracts and the change in carrying value of the underlying foreign currency liability are compared and the difference is recognized in cash flow hedge reserve. The changes in time value that relate to the forward and option contracts are deferred in the cost of hedging reserve and recognized against the related hedged transaction when it occurs. Amortization of forward points through cost of hedge reserve is recognized in the statement of profit and loss over life of the forward contracts. During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Corporation did not have any hedging instruments with terms which were not aligned with those of the hedged items.
The spot component of forward contracts is determined with reference to relevant spot market exchange rates. The differential between the contracted forward rate and the spot market exchange rate is defined as the forward points.
The intrinsic value of foreign exchange option contracts is determined with reference to the relevant spot market exchange rate. The differential between the contracted strike rate and the spot market exchange rate is defined as the intrinsic value. Time value of the option is the difference between fair value of the option and the intrinsic value.
43.6.1.3 Hedging Policy
The Corporation's hedging policy only allows for effective hedging relationships to be considered as hedges as per the relevant Ind AS. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The Corporation enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match with the terms of the hedged item.
43.6.1.4 Hedge Ratio
The foreign exchange forward, options and currency swap contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable future foreign currency principal and interest payments, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. The notional amount of interest rate swap is equal to the portion of variable rate loans that is being hedged, and therefore the hedge ratio for interest rate swap is also 1:1.
43.6.2 Interest Rate Risk
The Corporation's core business is doing housing loans. The Corporation raises money from diversified sources like deposits, market borrowings, term loans and foreign currency borrowings amongst others. In view of the financial nature of the assets and liabilities of the Corporation, changes in market interest rates can adversely affect its financial condition. The fluctuations in interest rates can be due to internal and external factors. Internal factors include the composition of assets and liabilities across maturities, existing rates and re-pricing of various sources of borrowings. External factors include macroeconomic developments, competitive pressures, regulatory developments and global factors. The rise or fall in interest rates impact the Corporation's Net Interest Income depending on whether the Balance sheet is net asset sensitive or liability sensitive.
The Corporation uses traditional gap analysis report to determine the Corporation's vulnerability to movements in interest rates. The Gap is the difference between Rate Sensitive Assets (RSA) and Rate Sensitive Liabilities (RSL) for each time bucket. It indicates whether the Corporation is in a position to benefit from rising interest rates by having a positive gap (RSA > RSL) or whether it is in a position to benefit from declining interest rates by a negative gap (RSL > RSA). The Corporation also fixes tolerance limits for the same as per the ALM Policy.
43.6.2.2 Sensitivity
T he impact of 10 bps change in interest rates on financial assets and liabilities on the Profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2022 is ' 9.41 Crore (Previous Year ' 29.87 Crore).
43.6.3 Price Risk
43.6.3.1 Exposure
The Corporation's exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Corporation and classified in the balance sheet either as fair value through OCI or at fair value through profit or loss.
To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Corporation diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Corporation.
Some of the Corporation's equity investments are publicly traded and are included in the NSE Nifty 50 index.
43.6.3.2 Sensitivity
The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the index on the Corporation's equity and profit for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased by 10% or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Corporation's equity instruments moved in line with the index.
43.6.4 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
As on March 31, 2022, the Corporation has foreign currency borrowings of USD 1,404.28 million and JPY 53,200 million, on which it pays USD LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) and TONA (Tokyo Overnight Average Rate) respectively. The Corporation has undertaken currency swaps and forward contracts of notional amount of USD 1,423.53 million and JPY 53,200 million, Coupon Only Swaps of ' 1,063 Crore, USD Interest rate Swaps of ' 9,563 Crore, and foreign currency arrangements of USD 4.28 million to hedge the foreign currency and interest rate risks. The valuations of these hedges are impacted by, among other variables, changes in USD LIBOR.
Following the commencement of the LIBOR discontinuation process by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the directions from the Financial Stability Board, an international body that monitors and makes recommendations intended to promote financial stability, working groups led by central banks in the jurisdictions of the LIBOR currencies identified LIBOR replacement near risk free rates, and have been involved in designing plans for all market participants to use these rates across the derivative and cash markets. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA"), the authorized administrator of LIBOR, published on March 5, 2021 the decision to cease publication of overnight, one month, six month and twelve month USD LIBORs after June 30, 2023, and JPY LIBOR after December 31, 2021. The date for spread adjustment i.e. the median difference between the risk free rate and LIBOR over the previous five years, was March 5, 2021.
The Corporation has been taking steps to ease into the transition of its LIBOR linked loans. It has transitioned from JPY LIBOR to TONA effective from January 01, 2022 for its JPY 53,200 million ECB loan. The Corporation has already adhered to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol and the IBOR Fallbacks Supplement. The Protocol allows market participants to amend the terms of their legacy derivatives contracts to include these new cessation events, pre-cessation events, and fallbacks for legacy derivatives.
All the documentation for existing and forthcoming ECBs (External Commercial Borrowings) would follow the guidance by the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) to reflect these changes appropriately.
44.1 Outstanding as on March 31, 2021 on account of all loans where moratorium benefit was extended by the Corporation, that were in SMA/ overdue categories just before granting of Moratorium:
44.2 The Outstanding as on March 31, 2021 in respect of loans where in an asset classification benefit was extended due to Moratorium under the circular. The Corporation was required to carry an additional general provision for the purposes of regulatory submission in respect of such loans. Post the moratorium period, the movement of ageing has been at actuals. There are no accounts where asset classification benefit is extended till March 31, 2021.
44.3 The Corporation has made adequate provision for impairment loss allowance (as per ECL model) for the year ended March 31, 2021.
45. Disclosure of Penalties imposed by NHB and other regulators
During, FY 2021-22, the National Housing Bank imposed a monetary penalty of ' 4,75,000 plus GST for technical non-compliance with NHB circular NHB(ND)/DRS/Pol-No.58/2013-14 dated November 18, 2013 and NHB(ND)/DRS/Policy Circular No.75/2016-17 dated July 1, 2016 pertaining to the financial year 2015-16. The Corporation has paid the said penalty simultaneously holding on to its reservations with respect to merits. During FY 2020-21, the National Housing Bank (NHB) imposed a monetary penalty of ' 1,50,000 plus GST on the Corporation for non-compliance with two provisions of the Housing Finance Companies (NHB) Directors, 2010 pertaining to FY 2018-19.
