Existing Paragraph 3.2 Valuation of approved securities for SLR The entire investment portfolio of the banks (including SLR Securities) will be classified under three categories viz. 'Held to Maturity', 'Available for sale' and 'Held for Trading'. Investment classified under Held to Maturity category need not be marked to market and will be carried at acquisition cost unless it is more than the face value. In such a case, the premium should be amortised over a period remaining to maturity. Individual scrips in the Available for Sale category will be marked to market at the year end or at more frequent intervals. The net depreciation under each classification should be recognized and fully provided for and any appreciation should be ignored. The book value of the individual securities would not undergo any change after the revaluation. The individual scrips in the Held for Trading category will be revalued at monthly or at more frequent intervals and net appreciation /depreciation under each classification will be recognized in income account. The book value of the individual scrip will be changed with revaluation.
