1.1 Risk Exposure in Derivatives
1.1.1 Qualitative Disclosures :
Bank has been doing hedging of asset as well as liability using IRS.
The hedging transactions have been accounted on an accrual basis.
Swaps, which hedge interest bearing asset / liability, are accounted
for as the asset or liability hedged. Valuation of outstanding swap
contracts is on marked to market basis.
All swap deals have been undertaken based on the guidelines of
International Swaps Dealers Association. Bank has adequate internal
approvals and control systems prior to concluding transactions. There
exists a clear functional segregation between (i) trading (Dealing)
(ii) back office (settlement, monitoring and control) and (iii)
accounting sections.
In the derivatives segment, the bank is doing proprietary trading in
Currency Futures (CF) and Overnight Index Swaps (OIS). The activities
in this segment are governed by the Derivatives Policy approved by the
banks Board.
Exchange traded FIX Derivatives i.e. Currency Futures, are valued at the
Exchange determined prices and the resultant gains and losses are
recognized in the Profit and Loss account.
The gain or loss in OIS transactions is booked in the Profit and Loss
account on the maturity or unwinding of the deal whichever is earlier.
For the purpose of valuation of outstanding OIS deals, the fair value
of the total swap is computed on the basis of the amount that would be
receivable or payable on termination of the swap as on the balance
sheet date. Losses arising therefrom, if any, are fully provided for
while the profits , if any, are ignored.
The Bank is having the following products under derivatives.
- Overnight Index Swaps
- Currency Futures

category at the least of Cost / Book Value / Market price pursuant to

crore (previous year Rs.1710.12 crore ) resulted in depreciation of
Rs.176.23 crore (previous year Rs.49.23 crore).The depreciation provision

a sum of Rs.43.38 crore (previous year Rs.71.05 crore) has been amortized
and the same is reflected as a deduction from Income on Investments.
