15.5 The gross income of the Reserve Bank for the year 2002-03 (July-June), was Rs.23,185.64 crore which was lower by Rs.1,504.70 crore (6.1 per cent) as compared to the previous year's total income of Rs.24,690.34 crore. The fall in income from domestic sources was due to fall in domestic assets and lower interest rates. The fall in income from foreign sources was due to reduction in international interest rates. The sources of income are set out in Table 15.3. 15.6 The share of transfer to Contingency Reserve, Asset Development Reserve and surplus transfer to government as a percentage to total income is given in Table 15.4.

15.9 During the year 2002-03, the return on foreign currency assets excluding capital gains less depreciation decreased to 2.8 per cent from 4.1 per cent during 2001-02 because of lower interest rates abroad. However, taking into account the capital gain on securities, the net earnings went up from 2.8 per cent to 3.1 per cent during 2002-03. The foreign securities held in the Reserve Bank's portfolio are valued at the end of every month at the lower of book value or market rate. If the market rate is lower than the book value, depreciation to the same extent is provided for. Appreciation is neither taken to profit and loss account nor to the reserves.
Income from Domestic Sources
15.10 Domestic income decreased by Rs.1,344.89 crore (9.1 per cent) from Rs.14,703.88 crore in 2001-02 to Rs.13,358.99 crore in 2002-03. Data relating to earnings from domestic sources are given in Table 15.6.

15.11 Profits booked on sale of securities amounted to Rs. 4,798.03 crore in 2002-03 representing an increase of Rs. 1,737.99 crore over the previous year. The net open market operations sales amounted to Rs.53,780 crore in 2002-03 as compared to Rs.30,335 crore in 2001-02. The interest income on ways and means advances showed decrease of Rs.339.98 crore during 2002-03 from Rs.952.48 crore in 2001-02 to Rs.612.50 crore in 2002-03, reflecting decreased recourse by the Central Government to this facility and also lower bank rate. Interest earnings from loans and advances to banks/financial institutions declined by Rs.769.31 crore from Rs.1,170.44 crore in 2001-02 to Rs.401.13 crore in 2002-03, due to lower utilisation of refinance facility by Primary Dealers/Scheduled Commercial Banks combined with lower interest rates applicable on these advances.
15.12 Total expenditure of the Reserve Bank increased by Rs.181.02 crore (2.8 per cent) from Rs.6,542.39 crore in 2001-02 to Rs.6,723.41 crore in 2002-03 (Table 15.7 and Chart XV.2).
Interest Payment
15.13 Interest payment decreased by Rs.344.90 crore ( 14.8 per cent) from Rs.2,334.99 crore in 2001-02 to Rs.1,990.09 crore in 2002-03 due to reduction in rate of CRR and lower interest rates payable on eligible CRR balances.
Establishment Expenditure
15.14 Establishment expenditure increased by Rs.184.50 crore (14.1 per cent) from Rs.1,304.36 crore in 2001-02 to Rs.1,488.86 crore in 2002-03 as a result of increased provisioning with respect to gratuity and pension funds. As per the actuarial valuation the provisioning in this regard was to the extent of Rs.616.67 crore during 2002-03 as against Rs.440.80 crore during the previous year.
Non-Establishment Expenditure
15.15 Expenditure on security printing, comprising cost of printing of currency notes, cheque forms etc., increased by Rs.128.60 crore (9.9 per cent) from Rs.1,304.49 crore in 2001-02 to Rs.1,433.09 crore in 2002-03, mainly due to upward revision in rates of printing currency notes, increase in quantum of notes printed and larger component of higher denomination notes of Rs.100 and above consistent with the clean note policy.
Liabilities
National Industrial Credit (Long Term Operations) Fund
15.16 There were no operations in the National Industrial Credit (Long Term Operations) Fund (established under Section 46-C of the RBI Act, 1934) during 2002-03 except the credit of Rs.1.0 crore to the Fund out of Reserve Bank's income.
National Housing Credit (Long Term Operations) Fund
15.17 The National Housing Credit (Long Term Operations) Fund was established by the Reserve Bank in terms of Section 46D(1) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 in January 1989. A token contribution of Rs.1.0 crore was made to the Fund out of Reserve Bank's income during 2002-03.
Deposits - Banks
15.18 'Deposits - Banks' represent balances maintained by the banks in current account with the Reserve Bank mainly for maintaining Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and as working funds for clearing adjustments.
Deposits - Others
15.19 'Deposits - Others' include deposits from financial institutions, employees' provident fund deposits, surplus earmarked pending transfer to the Government and sundry deposits.
Other Liabilities
15.20 'Other Liabilities' include the internal reserves and provisions of the Reserve Bank and net credit balance in the RBI General Account. These liabilities have increased by Rs.9,112.06 crore (8.3 per cent) from Rs.1,09,243.95 crore as on June 30, 2002 to Rs.1,18,356.01 crore as on June 30, 2003 mainly on account of increase in the levels of internal reserves.
15.21 The reserves, viz., Contingency Reserve, Asset Development Reserve, Currency & Gold Revaluation Account and Exchange Equalisation Account reflected in 'Other Liabilities' are in addition to the 'Reserve Fund' of Rs.6,500 crore held by the Reserve Bank as a distinct balance sheet head.
Currency and Gold Revaluation Account and Exchange Equalisation Account
15.22 Gains/losses on valuation of foreign currency assets due to movements in the exchange rates and/ or prices of gold are not booked in profit and loss account but in a separate account called Currency and Gold Revaluation Account (CGRA), the balance in which represents accumulated net gain on valuation of foreign currency assets and gold. During 2002-03, there was an accretion of Rs.265.64 crore to the CGRA, thus increasing the balance to Rs.51,276.41 crore as on June 30, 2003 from Rs.51,010.77 crore as on June 30, 2002. The CGRA at the end of June 2003 was equivalent to 13.4 per cent of foreign currency assets and gold holdings of the Reserve Bank, as against 18.0 per cent at the end of June 2002. This was mainly on account of increase in the foreign currency assets and also appreciation of the rupee against the US dollar. The balances in Exchange Equalisation Account (EEA) represents provision made for exchange losses arising out of forward commitments. The balance in the EEA as on June 30, 2003 stood at Rs.567.25 crore. The balances in CGRA and EEA which are part of 'Other Liabilities' in the Balance Sheet as at the close of last five accounting years are given in Table 15.8.
Contingency Reserve and Asset Development Reserve
15.23 The Reserve Bank maintains a Contingency Reserve (CR) to enable it to absorb unexpected and unforeseen contingencies. The Reserve Bank has set an indicative target of 12 per cent of the Reserve Bank's total assets to be achieved in phases by the year 2005, subject to review, if considered necessary. The balance in CR has gone up from Rs.48,434.17 crore as on June 30, 2002 to Rs.55,249.29 crore as on June 30, 2003. A sum of Rs.81.20 crore representing unresolved items of credit, which was included under Other Liabilities -Miscellaneous was credited to CR during 2002-03. A transfer of Rs.6733.92 crore was made to CR during 2002-03 from Reserve Bank's income. The balance in CR was sufficient to meet the contingent liabilities.
15.24 In order to meet the internal capital expenditure and make investments in its subsidiaries and associate institutions, the Reserve Bank had created, in 1997-98, a separate Asset Development Reserve (ADR) with the aim of reaching one per cent of the Reserve Bank's total assets within the overall target of 12 per cent set for CR. In the year 2002-03, an amount of Rs.890.31 crore was transferred from income to ADR raising its level from Rs.4,700.54 crore as on June 30, 2002 to Rs.5,590.85 crore as on June 30, 2003. CR and ADR together constituted 11.7 per cent of total assets of the Reserve Bank as on June 30, 2003. The balances in CR and ADR as at the close of last five accounting years are given in Table 15.9.
Foreign Currency Assets
15.25 The foreign currency assets comprise foreign securities held in Issue Department, balances held abroad and investments in foreign securities held in Banking Department. Such assets rose from Rs.2,67,333.18 crore as on June 30, 2002 to Rs.3,65,000.98 crore as on June 30, 2003. The increase in the level of foreign currency assets was mainly on account of market purchases, interest & discount and revaluation gains.
Investment in Government of India Rupee Securities
15.26 Investment in Government of India Rupee Securities which stood at Rs.1,35,067.86 crore as on June 30, 2002 decreased by Rs.29,923.82 crore (22.2 per cent) to Rs.1,05,144.04 crore as on June 30, 2003 mainly on account of substantial open market operations sales during the year.
15.27 The position of foreign currency and domestic assets during the last five years is given in Table 15.10 and Chart XV.3.
Investments in Shares of Subsidiaries and Associate Institutions
15.28 The Reserve Bank's investments in the shares of its subsidiaries and associate institutions have increased by Rs.100.00 crore during 2002-03 on account of an additional investment in capital of the National Housing Bank. The details of Reserve Bank's investments in the shares of its subsidiaries and associate institutions are given in Table 15.11.
Other Assets
15.29 'Other Assets' comprise mainly dead stock, gold holdings in the Banking Department, amounts spent on projects pending completion and staff advances.

REPORT OF THE AUDITIORS
TO THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA
We, the undersigned Auditors of the Reserve Bank of India, do hereby report to the Central Government upon the Balance Sheet of the Bank as at 30th June, 2003 and the Profit and Loss Account for the year ended on that date.
We have examined the above Balance Sheet of the Reserve Bank of India as at 30th June, 2003 and the Profit and Loss Account of the Bank for the year ended on that date and report that where we have called for information and explanations from the Bank, such information and explanations have been given and have been satisfactory. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion and according to the best of our information and explanations given to us and as shown by the books of account of the Bank, the Balance Sheet read with Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to the Accounts is a full and fair Balance Sheet containing all necessary particulars and is properly drawn up in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and Regulations framed thereunder so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the Bank’s affairs, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India.

4. RUPEE SECURITIES
Rupee securities, other than Treasury Bills, held in the Issue and Banking Departments, are valued at lower of book value or market price or rates based on the yield curve prevailing on the last business day of the month where the market price for such securities is not available.

Depreciation on fixed assets is charged only if held for a period of more than six months as at the year end.
7. RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The liability on account of retirement benefits and leave encashment to employees is estimated based on an actuarial valuation.
8. CONTINGENCY RESERVE AND ASSET DEVELOPMENT RESERVE
