C. Guidance on specific issues with respect to certain Accounting Standards
6. A bank shall also be guided by following with respect to relevant issues in the application of certain Accounting Standards for the bank.
(1) Accounting Standard 5 - Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies
(i) The objective of this standard is to prescribe the classification and disclosure of certain items in the statement of profit and loss so that all enterprises prepare and present such a statement on a uniform basis.
(ii) Accordingly, this Standard requires the classification and disclosure of extraordinary and prior period items, and the disclosure of certain items within profit or loss from ordinary activities. It also specifies the accounting treatment for changes in accounting estimates and the disclosures to be made in the financial statements regarding changes in accounting policies.
(iii) Paragraph 4.3 of Preface to the Statements on Accounting Standards issued by the ICAI states that Accounting Standards are intended to apply only to items which are material. Since materiality is not objectively defined, it has been decided that all banks should ensure compliance with the provisions of the Accounting Standard in respect of any item of prior period income or prior period expenditure which exceeds one percent of the total income / total expenditure of the bank if the income / expenditure is reckoned on a gross basis or one percent of the net profit before taxes or net losses as the case may be if the income is reckoned net of costs.
(iv) Since the format of the profit and loss accounts of a bank prescribed in Form B under Third Schedule to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 does not specifically provide for disclosure of the impact of prior period items on the current year’s profit and loss, such disclosures, wherever warranted, may be made in the ‘Notes on Accounts’ to the balance sheet of a bank.
(2) Accounting Standard 9 – Revenue Recognition
(i) Non-recognition of income by the bank in case of non-performing advances and non-performing investments, in compliance with the regulatory prescriptions of the Reserve Bank of India, shall not attract a qualification by the statutory auditors as this would be in conformity with provisions of the standard, as it recognises postponement of recognition of revenue where collectability of the revenue is significantly uncertain.
(3) Accounting Standard 11 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
AS 11 is applied in the context of the accounting for transactions in foreign currencies. The issues that arise in this context have been identified and a bank shall be guided by the following while complying with the provisions of the standard:
(i) Exchange rate for recording foreign currency transactions
(a) As per paragraphs 9 and 21 of the Standard, a foreign currency transaction shall be recorded on initial recognition in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. A bank may face difficulty in applying the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction in respect of the items which are not being recorded in Indian Rupees or are currently being recorded using a notional exchange rate.A bank, which is in a position to apply the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction for recording the foreign currency transactions as required under AS 11 shall comply with the requirements.
(b) A bank, which has an extensive branch network, have a high volume of foreign currency transactions and is not fully equipped on the technology front shall be guided by the following:
(i) Paragraph 10 of the Standard allows, for practical reasons, the use of a rate that approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction The Standard also states that if exchange rates fluctuate significantly, the use of average rate for a period is unreliable. Since the enterprises are required to record the transactions at the date of the occurrence thereof, the weekly average closing rate of the preceding week can be used for recording the transactions occurring in the relevant week, if the same approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction. In view of the practical difficulties which a bank may have in applying the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions and since the Standard allows the use of a rate that approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction, the bank may use average rates as detailed below:
(ii) FEDAI publishes a weekly average closing rate at the end of each week and a quarterly average closing rate at the end of each quarter for various currencies.
(iii) In respect of those foreign currency transactions, which are currently not being recorded in Indian Rupees at the date of the transaction or are being recorded using a notional exchange rate shall now be recorded at the date of the transaction by using theweekly average closing rate of the preceding week, published by FEDAI, if the same approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
(iv) If the weekly average closing rate of the preceding week does not approximate the actual rate at the date of the transaction, the closing rate at the date of the transaction shall be used. For this purpose, the weekly average closing rate of the preceding week would not be considered approximating the actual rate at the date of the transaction if the difference between (A) the weekly average closing rate of the preceding week and (B) the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction, is more than three and a half percent of (B).
(v) A bank is encouraged to equip themselves to record the foreign currency transactions.
(ii) Closing rate
(a) Paragraph 7 of the Standard defines ‘Closing rate’ as the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
(b) To ensure uniformity among banks, closing rate to be applied for the purposes of AS 11 (revised 2003) for the relevant accounting period would be the lastclosing spot rateof exchange announced by FEDAI for that accounting period.

Note:
i) Related parties for a bank are its parent, subsidiary(ies), associates / joint ventures, Key Management Personnel (KMP) and relatives of KMP. KMP are the whole-time directors for an Indian bank. Relatives of KMP would be on the lines indicated in section 45 S of the RBI Act, 1934
ii) The name and nature of related party relationship shall be disclosed, irrespective of whether there have been transactions, where control exists within the meaning of the Standard. Control would normally exist in case of parent-subsidiary relationship. The disclosures may be limited to aggregate for each of the above related party categories and would pertain to the year-end position as also the maximum position during the year.
iii) The Accounting Standards is applicable to all nationalised banks. The accounting standard exempts state-controlled enterprises i.e., nationalised banks from making any disclosures pertaining to their transactions with other related parties which are also state controlled enterprises. Thus, a nationalised bank need not disclose its transactions with the subsidiaries as well as the Regional Rural Banks sponsored by them. However, it shall be required to disclose its transactions with other related parties.
iv) Secrecy provisions: If in any of the above category of related parties there is only one related party entity, any disclosure would tantamount to infringement of customer confidentiality. In terms of AS 18, the disclosure requirements do not apply in circumstances when providing such disclosures would conflict with the reporting enterprise’s duties of confidentiality as specifically required in terms of statute, by regulator or similar competent authority. Further, in case a statute or regulator governing an enterprise prohibits the enterprise from disclosing certain information, which is required to be disclosed, non-disclosure of such information would not be deemed as non-compliance with the Accounting Standards. On account of the judicially recognised common law duty of the bank to maintain the confidentiality of the customer details, it need not make such disclosures. In view of the above, where the disclosures under the Accounting Standards are not aggregated disclosures in respect of any category of related party i.e., where there is only one entity in any category of related party, a bank need not disclose any details pertaining to that related party other than the relationship with that related party.
(6) Accounting Standard 24 - Discontinuing operations
(i) This Standard establishes principles for reporting information about discontinuing operations.
(ii) Merger / closure of branches of a bank by transferring the assets / liabilities to the other branches of the same bank may not be deemed as a discontinuing operation and hence this Accounting Standard will not be applicable to merger / closure of branches of a bank by transferring the assets / liabilities to the other branches of the same bank.
(iii) Disclosures shall be required under the Standard only when: (a) discontinuing of the operation has resulted in shedding of liability and realisation of the assets by the bank or decision to discontinue an operation which will have the above effect has been finalised by the bank and (b) the discontinued operation is substantial in its entirety.
(7) Accounting Standard 25 – Interim Financial Reporting
(i) This Standard prescribes the minimum content of an interim financial report and the principles for recognition and measurement in a complete or condensed financial statements for an interim period.
(ii) The disclosures required to be made by a listed bank in terms of the listing agreements would not tantamount to interim reporting as envisaged under AS 25 and as such AS 25 is not mandatory for the quarterly reporting prescribed for a listed bank.
(iii) The recognition and measurement principles laid down under AS 25 shall however, be complied with in respect of such quarterly reports.
(8) Accounting Standard 26 – Intangible asset
(i) This Standard prescribes the accounting treatment for intangible assets that are not dealt with specifically in another accounting standard.
(ii) With respect to computer software which has been customised for the bank’s use and is expected to be in use for some time, the detailed recognition and amortisation principle in respect of computer software prescribed in the Standard adequately addresses these issues and may be followed by the bank.
(iii) It may be noted that intangible assets recognised and carried in the balance sheet of a bank in compliance with AS 26 shall attract provisions of section 15(1) of the Banking Regulation Act 1949, in terms of which a bank is prohibited from declaring any dividend until any expenditure not represented by tangible assets is carried in the balance sheet.
(iv) A bank desirous of paying dividend while carrying any intangible assets in its books must seek exemption from section 15(1) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 from the Central Government.
(9) Accounting Standard 28 – Impairment of assets
(i) This standard prescribes the procedures that an enterprise applies to ensure that its assets are carried at no more than their recoverable amount. It is clarified that the standard shall not apply to inventories, investments and other financial assets such as loans and advances and shall generally be applicable to a bank in so far as it relates to fixed assets.
(ii) The Standard shall generally apply to financial lease assets and non-banking assets acquired in settlement of claims only when the indications of impairment of the entity are evident.

*Un-weighted values shall be calculated as outstanding balances maturing or callable within 30 days (for inflows and outflows) except where otherwise mentioned in the circular and LCR template.
@Weighted values shall be calculated after the application of respective haircuts (for HQLA) or inflow and outflow rates (for inflows and outflows).
$Adjusted values shall be calculated after the application of both (a) haircuts and inflow and outflow rates and (b) any applicable caps (i.e., cap on Level 2B and Level 2 assets for HQLA and cap on inflows).
|
(a) Data shall be presented as simple averages of daily observations over the previous quarter (i.e., the average is calculated over a period of 90 days). A bank shall publish the number of data points used in calculating the average figures in template. The simple average shall be calculated on daily observations over the previous quarters. For most data items, both un-weighted and weighted values of the LCR components shall be disclosed as given in the disclosure format. The un-weighted value of inflows and outflows shall be calculated as the outstanding balances of various categories or types of liabilities, off balance sheet items or contractual receivables. The weighted value of HQLA shall be calculated as the value after haircuts are applied. The weighted value for inflows and outflows shall be calculated as the value after the inflow and outflow rates are applied. Total HQLA and total net cash outflows shall be disclosed as the adjusted value, where the adjusted value of HQLA is the value of total HQLA after the application of both haircuts and any applicable caps on Level 2B and Level 2 assets as indicated in this framework. The adjusted value of net cash outflows is to be calculated after the cap on inflows is applied, if applicable.
(b) A bank shall provide sufficient qualitative discussion around the LCR to facilitate understanding of the results and data provided. For example, where significant to the LCR, a bank could discuss:
(i) the main drivers of its LCR results and the evolution of the contribution of inputs to the LCR’s calculation over time;
(ii) intra period changes as well as changes over time;
(iii) the composition of HQLA;
(iv) concentration of funding sources;
(v) derivative exposures and potential collateral calls;
(vi) currency mismatch in the LCR;
(vii) a description of the degree of centralisation of liquidity management and interaction between the group’s units; and
(viii) other inflows and outflows in the LCR calculation that are not captured in the LCR common template but which the institution considers to be relevant for its liquidity profile.
(iii) Net Stable Funding ratio (NSFR)
(a) A bank shall publish this disclosure along with the publication of its financial statements / results (i.e., typically quarterly or semi-annually), irrespective of whether the financial statements / results are audited. The NSFR information shall be calculated on a consolidated basis and presented in Indian rupee.
(b) A bank shall either include these NSFR disclosures in its published financial reports or, at a minimum, provide a direct and prominent link to the complete disclosure on its websites or in publicly available regulatory reports.
(c) Data shall be presented as quarter-end observations. For a bank reporting on a semi-annual basis, the NSFR shall be reported for each of the two preceding quarters. For a bank reporting on an annual basis, the NSFR shall be reported for the preceding four quarters. Both unweighted and weighted values of the NSFR components shall be disclosed unless otherwise indicated. Weighted values are calculated as the values after Available Stable Funding (ASF) or Required Stable Funding (RSF) factors are applied.
(d) A bank shall, in addition to the template prescribed below, provide a sufficient qualitative discussion around the NSFR to facilitate an understanding of the results and the accompanying data.
Explanation: For example, where significant to the NSFR, a bank could discuss the drivers of its NSFR results and the reasons for intra-period changes as well as the changes over time (e.g., changes in strategies, funding structure, circumstances etc.).
