I feel honoured to present the Annual Report for the Financial Year 2017-18, for the fourth consecutive time. Five important things that we achieved or sustained this year also have put our Bank where we are today. They are, profitability, efficiency parameters, strengthening and streamlining the systems and procedures, Business growth and IT Initiatives.
For the second consecutive year, the Bank has exhibited its efficiency levels by posting a Net Profit of Rs.503.01 Crore up by 42.90% over previous year level of Rs.351.99 Crore. The Net Profit figures registered by our Bank over the last two years, have been the highest among all RRBs in the Country and these landmarks have never been touched by any RRB so far. The important factor contributing to the profitability is curtailing controllable expenditure. The expenses ratio has come down from Rs.35.03% to 27.75% during the year under report. This is the least among all RRBs sponsored by SBI. By conducting the income audit, income leakages have been plugged. Another important source of income is Treasury operations which yielded a profit of Rs.71 crore as against Rs.50 Crore last year. Cost of deposits has been reduced to 6.30% from 6.89%, by increasing the CASA deposits by 14.83% (Rs.780.44 Cr). Our Return on Assets surged to 2.25% as on 31.3.18 from 1.82% which means all assets that we created are yielding effectively. Return on Equity improved to 22.33% as on 31.3.18 from 20.12%.
The Reserves increased by Rs 503.01 Crore at 30.38% from Rs 1655.72 Cr as on 31.03.17 to Rs 2158.74 Cr as on 31.03.18. Net worth of the Bank stood at Rs 2252.82 Crore with a growth of Rs 503.01 Crore (28.75%) over
previous FY's figure of Rs 1749.81 Crore. This is the highest across all RRBs in the country. Capital Adequacy Ratio at 15.59 as on 31.3.18 up by 10.96% vis-à-vis 14.05% as on 31.3.2017.
Our constant focus on ratios and efficiency parameters such as cost of deposits, cost of borrowings, yield on advances and investments, expenses ratio, asset quality and reduction of NPAs have culminated into where we stand today in terms of profitability. Every aspect in maintaining asset quality right from making day to day MIS to initiating legal action, has been in detail deliberated at all levels of administration and operations and appropriate measures initiated, which led to pruning the NPAs to the barest minimum. This has brought down the Gross NPAs to Rs 195.64 Crore (1.36%) as on 31.3.2018 from Rs 209.74 Crore (1.69%). With this continuous and consistent focus on the fundamentals and efficiency parameters, the margins have been maintained.
The key to efficiency is to enhance the perception of Risk Management. During the year, the Bank introduced a tool of monitoring mechanism based on Risk Indicators on some of the key areas of Banking viz., Gross NPAs, KYC Compliance, Time barred debts, Missing documents, Loan mix, Inspecting rating, e-VVR Checking, BCGA Debit entries etc., to prompt corrective action . Depending on the periodicity and tolerance levels, each Key Area flashes alerts
Yours sincerely,

indicating potential problems or warranting immediate action. This is made available to all levels of Managers for understanding the gravity of the situation and act as warranted.
During the year, the Bank's Board has reviewed all the Policies and put in place for meticulous adherence. All these policies have been drafted duly incorporating the guidelines / instructions / policy framework of GOI / RBI / NABARD / Sponsor Bank. The operations of the Bank in all crucial areas are governed by these policies.
The role of IT has been instrumental in our strategies and our Bank has put in place a number MIS reports. Business of banking depends on effective monitoring and monitoring depends on MIS. Apart from regular business, there are number of areas such as data purification, NPAs, KYC compliance, FIC operations, Mobile Banking activation, aadhar seeding, which require close follow up for achieving the desired levels. This has been facilitated by effective MIS. This is one of the contributing factors for our success both in business and efficiency parameters.
For most RRBs, the toughest struggle is to come out of an image that their working style is archaic. We dedicated this year to connect our potential to the strengthening of internal processes, administration, empowerment and enlightening the concept of rights and responsibilities in day to day functioning and operations. We have been going through a major transformation over a period of some years in terms of work force. While younger generation come with a lot of dynamism, inexperience is a critical element that the Bank has been dealing with. The Bank has a task to pass through that critical mass stage of the workforce, assuming the leadership role and respecting and adhering to the laid down internal processes and systems and procedures.
Systems and administration are important. If the system is followed in letter and spirit and if proper administration is ensured from top to bottom, results automatically follow. Sensitisation of officials at all levels has been taken up on a top priority basis as to respond to the calls received from top level administration as well as to place demand on the lower level administration for required support. Various workshops and meetings have been conducted to highlight the cadre at all level to understand the true meaning of empowerment. One has to exercise the powers vested with the position to ensure smooth
flow of the process of administration. Everybody has been made to understand their obligations and their rights. Key Responsibility Areas of workforce at all levels, have been prepared and circulated for effective functioning. The Bank has made efforts to drill the concept of Role play into the minds of staff so that the innocents are not dragged into trouble.
The Financial year has been intense in building the leadership at all levels. We threw ourselves into the process of building a strong system and conducting an effective administration to achieve something that is not ordinary.
During the year, control of our RRB has shifted from State Bank of India, Local Head Office, Hyderabad to A&S Department of State Bank of India, Corporate Centre, Mumbai. The composition of Directors from Sponsor Bank on the Board also has changed accordingly. I wholeheartedly thank the Managing Director Shri Dinesh Khara, the Chief General Manager Shri Ravi Nandan Sahay and Shri S. Ganesan, General Manager (RRBs) for their timely guidance and support, without which the performance of our Bank would not have been what it turned out to be.
I also thank each and every member of staff for their support and cooperation all along this journey, taking on the challenges and giving their best to the Organisation.
Last but not the least, my gratitude goes to around one crore customers of our Bank for reposing confidence in our Bank and giving us the opportunity of serving them.

Profit Analysis
The Bank registered a Net Profit of Rs. 503.01 Crore for the
year 2017-18 as against Rs 351.99 Crore for the previous FY
2016-17 at a growth rate of 42.90%.
Increase in interest income by Rs.266.10 Cr (which includes
increase in interest on investment by Rs.90.92 Cr), recovery of
AUCA to the extent of Rs 6.01 Crore, profit from sale of
investments to the tune of Rs 71.41 Crore and reduction in
NPAs by Rs 14.10 Crores, thus requiring less additional
provisions have impacted the net profitability of the Bank.
The Operating profit of the Bank stood at Rs 750.50 Crore as on
31.3.18 vis-à-vis previous FY's figure of Rs 522.70 Crore. The
increase of Rs 227.80 Crore (43.58%) in operating profit
during this year is impressive when compared with the
increase of Rs 181.47 Crore during 2016-17. This is due to
increase in income in all areas i.e., interest on advances,
investments, decrease in expenses ratio and decrease in cost of
deposits from 6.89% to 6.30% during the year.

SHGs - Vaddileni Runalu
Both the State Governments i.e., Telangana and A.P have been
implementing “Vaddileni Runalu” scheme i.e. reimbursement
of interest for prompt payers of Self Help Groups upto loan
limit of Rs.5.00 lakhs. The Bank would provide particulars of
transactions in SHG accounts relating to all the branches to the
SERP and basing on that, the SERP, Hyderabad, arrives at the
list of SHG accounts eligible for VLR scheme and accordingly
release the interest amount which is credited to the respective
SHG accounts directly.
As per the directions of Government of India, SHG Cash Credit
loans are also to be treated as normal Cash Credit Loans for the
purpose of classification of asset etc. But, as per the guidelines
of VLR scheme the SHGs have to repay a minimum of 3% of
drawing power every month to become eligible for
reimbursement of interest. We have, therefore, insisted the
SHGs for repayment of 3% of drawing power towards EMI,
though it is sufficient if they pay only the interest and other
charges if any, every month.
National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) - Aajeevika –
Interest Subvention Scheme
Our Bank has implemented NRLM Scheme as per the
guidelines issued by NABARD vide their letter No

The government restructured Swarnajayanthi Grama
Swarozgar Yojana - SGSY (which was in existence since FY
2010-11) into National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) to
provide greater focus and momentum for poverty reduction.
The Mission aims at creating efficient and effective
institutional platforms of the rural poor enabling them to
increase household income through sustainable livelihood
enhancements and improved access to financial services.
Under the Scheme, all Women SHGs promoted by NRLM or
other Central or State Government Line Departments or
NABARD or any NGOs, which are linked with our Bank, are
eligible to avail the benefits of the Scheme. As per the Scheme,
GOI identified 250 backward districts all over the country
under Category-I, of which we have six districts in our notified
area namely Warangal, Khammam, Mahabubnagar (erstwhile
districts in Telangana state) and Srikakulam, Vizianagaram,
Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
All such Women SHGs in the six districts have been extended
credit at 7% rate of interest upto Rs 3 Lakhs and Government
would subvent to the extent of difference between 7% and
actual rate of interest (12.5% ) subject to a maximum of 5.5%.
Apart from this, prompt paying SHGs will be extended an
additional 3% subvention. SERP (Society for Elimination of
Rural Poverty) would credit the remaining 4% interest for
prompt repayers reducing 'ZERO” interest burden to the
groups.
We have two districts among the Category-II districts (other
than the above 250 districts) under NRLM namely Nalgonda
and Medak. Funding for this subvention will be provided by
the SRLM (State Rural Livelihood Mission).
SRLM and SERP will provide each 7% interest as subvention
for prompt repayers through e-transfer to the SHGs accounts
under the Scheme for Category-II districts.

Financial Inclusion
Financial Inclusion has been the concern of Indian economy
and banking industry since the independence. Leveraging
technology is the basic idea behind our initiative in providing
Banking Services at the doorsteps of the unbanked and
underprivileged people of the society.
The rural poor had long been in the clutches of money lenders
to meet their immediate financial needs for decades. This traps
them into debt for their life time. There were no means for these
people to come out of these debt traps and lead a debt free lives.
Thrift was an unusual habit in these group of people in the rural
areas.
As a Bank (established jointly by Government of India, State
Bank of India and State Government) we have made difference
in their lives. Using technology has greatly galvanised our
efforts to bring in unprecedented transformation in providing
banking facilities to these people at their door steps.
As part of financial inclusion, the bank has 1867 Bank Mitras
equipped with micro ATMs, operating 4444 villages which do
not have a formal banking outlet of any Bank. Out of 4444, 825
villages are with population of 2000 and above and remaining
3619 villages with a population less than 2000.
The Bank Mitras use the hand held Micro ATM devices to carry
out the banking transactions in real time on our CBS platform.
The following banking transactions are enabled at Bank Mitra
Points:
a. Account opening both SB & RD
b. Cash withdrawal and deposit
c. Receipt of loan installments
d. AEPS transactions both Onus and Off us
e. Rupay Debit card transactions both Onus and Off us
f. Aadhaar Seeding facility.
g. Facility of mobile number seeding to bank account.
The entire Financial Inclusion (FI) operations at BCAs work on
the principle of Biometric verification of the beneficiaries
through micro ATMs and are online, hitting our CBS server
instantly through Third Party Integration, which facilitates
updation of transactions carried out by BCAs on real time
basis, in CBS Server, via TSPs' Servers.

The following is the share of transactions (%) performed at Bank Mitras when compared with the total bank transactions
among operating staff in Branches and Regions, to take the IT
Products and services to the rural customers.
The Bank has introduced the following new IT initiatives
during the year:
Immediate Payment System (IMPS) Remitter
IMPS facility as beneficiary bank was launched in January
2016 as sub member of Sponsor Bank. After IMPS accounting
procedure was put in place by SBI for RRBs, IMPS with
remitter facility was launched in July 2017 in our Bank.
A. Mobile Banking:
It is a new experience for a farmer to do banking while in farm.
Bilingual, the mobile banking app is a user friendly. The
availability in vernacular language has made it acceptable to
the rural customers. The app is compatible with, Android, iOS
and Windows mobile operating systems. The requirement of a
PIN mailer for registration/activation has been done away with
as a Go Green initiative. Mobile Banking app offers
remittance of funds through NEFT, IMPS, transfer transactions
within the bank and balance enquiry. Customers can also raise
cheque book requests for their accounts linked to the CIF
through mobile. This has enabled the bank to attract new
customers and retain the existing customers.
The transactions through Mobile Banking are secured with
three way authentication i.e. MPIN to access the services and
TPIN to perform financial transactions, the third factor of
security, is authentication of a financial transactions by the
onetime pass word flashed to the registered mobile of the
customer.
More than a lakh customers have activated Mobile Banking
service and each customer has carried out on an average a little
over four transactions during the Financial Year, involving an
amount of Rs. 246.81 Crore. No. of transactions put through
the Mobile Banking app, works out nearly 2.75% of the total
transactions.
Our Bank's mobile banking services have been well received
by the customers and their satisfaction can be gauged from the
rating awarded by them to the mobile banking app on the
Google play store feedback platform. The mobile banking app
has been receiving a consistent rating of 4.4 on the platform
and the downloads have reached 1,00,000 +.
There is a huge potential for the Mobile Banking Services in
our Bank. Out of 34 Lakh SB Accounts, over 50% accounts
have been seeded with Mobile Numbers. Similarly out of 15
Lakh BSBD Accounts, 49% accounts have been seeded with
Mobile numbers.
Mobile Baning Facility – On Feature Phones: *99#
We have also implemented *99# facility, another strategy of
mobile banking by NPCI for our rural customers with regular
feature phones. Internet (data) connection is not required to
avail banking services using *99# and this facility can be used
across all major Telecom service providers and avail Banking
services 24 x 7 seamlessly. Banking services on feature
mobile phones is available in multiple languages and also

available in Telugu. The *99# facility can be availed on the
mobile number that is linked to the customer's deposit account
only. Financial services that can be carried out using the *99#
facility are: (a) Transfer funds using Mobile No (b) Transfer
funds using UPI ID (c) Transfer funds using Aadhaar No. (d)
Transfer funds using Account No + IFSC code (e) Request
funds transfer from others using UPI ID or Mobile Number.
Non Financial Services such as (a) Account Balance enquiry
(b) Set up UPI PIN (c) Change UPI PIN and (d) Last five (5)
transactions.
Unified Payment Interface (UPI) Services
UPI is the most sophisticated public payments infrastructure
which our Bank has extended to our customers in January
2018. UPI simplifies online payments and it is way ahead of
NEFT / IMPS / digital wallet such as Paytm with regard to
convenience. UPI is a layer over existing IMPS facility.
The following benefits accrue to the customer who uses the
UPI services of the bank.
1. The enabling of the UPI facility has revolutionized funds
transfer by our customers and made it as simple as sending
a message.
2. Immediate funds transfer through mobile devices round the
clock 24 x 7, 365 days of the year.
3. Our onboarding the UPI platform enables our customer to
use a single mobile application made available by NPCI,
Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) for accessing different
bank account and carrying out their transactions.
4. UPI facilitates the use of virtual address for performing
banking transactions.
5. The customer using UPI facility can make payments for
purchases made at merchant establishments by scanning
the Quick Response (QR) code.
6. Customer can raise complaints regarding transaction status
directly from the BHIM app.
Within a short span of 3 months from the date of launching,
339184 transactions involving an amount of Rs. 62.62 Crore
have taken place through UPI.
Internet Banking -Transaction Facility
After approval for rolling out Internet Banking facility with
transactions rights has been granted by RBI, Transaction rights
on the Internet banking platform of the bank have been
launched in February 2018.
AEPS-Aadhaar Pay:
To enable our customers to perform cash less transactions at
merchant establishments using their Aadhaar linked account of
our bank, Aadhaar Pay (Issuer) facility has been launched in
our bank. Using this facility our bank customer would be able
to perform cash less transactions at outlets using other bank
Aadhaar pay apps.
Missed Call Banking:
Many of our rural customers, particularly the beneficiaries of
DBT and Government Sponsored Schemes, come to branch to
know their account balance, thereby losing their daily wage
and incurring travel expenditure. To mitigate the hardship of
hand-to-mouth customers, the Bank introduced Missed Call
Banking to know their account balance. The customer through
the mobile registered with the account has to give a missed call
to a predefined number to get an SMS showing the account
balance. This facility is available 24 x 7 and has considerably
reduced footfalls at the branch counters and enhanced the
customer service at the counters by cutting down the waiting
time.
This is an initiative which has instant impact on the customer
service in the most inevitable area of banking i.e., need to know
the balance.
In order to popularize and maximize the usage of missed call
banking, we have displayed Banners prominently in the
branches and important location of the villages, depicting the
facility. In all Financial Literacy Camps and in Grama Sabhas,
the demonstrations were given to the villagers to provide a feel
of the facility to the rural folk.
Out of 51,17,626 active customers, 26,45,831 customers have
registered their mobile numbers to their accounts. Of this,
we are with you!Annual Report 2017-18

17,82,236 customers have registered for Missed Call Banking
facility. As at the end of the FY, 1558048 SMSs have flashed in
their mobiles.
Alternate Delivery Channels (ADCs):
Banking transactions through Alternate Delivery Channels has
been on the rise vis-à-vis transactions through brick and mortar
branches, reducing the footfalls considerably in the Branches,
thereby resulting in more focus on marketing and business
development. Various alternative delivery channels introduced
by the Bank has enabled the customers to avail banking
services 24 x7 at their convenience. The following table shows
the volumes and cost benefit analysis on transactions through
branches and ADCs.

Campaigns to promote Cashless Transactions
We have launched many campaigns to promote cashless transactions using our ADCs. A campaign named Festival Dhamaka was launched to promote cash less transactions amongst the customers of the bank was launched during the
festival seasons.
Bank has also launched a campaign by name Multitasker to encourage staff in promoting activations and transactions in digital products of the Bank, like Mobile Banking, ATM Card & POS machine installation. The best performers Region and Bank wise were recognized and awarded incentives.
Rupay BigBazar Campaign: Our Bank also participated in this campaign launched by NPCI who entered into a corporate agreement with Big Bazar a reputed multi chain retailer in India.

Our participation in Centralised Payment System will be functional in the coming FY.
Desktop ATMs
In a move to facilitate customers wanting to withdraw small amounts, the Bank has installed Desktop ATMs in five of our Branches on a pilot basis.
This is the first time, our Bank has come up with a plan to set up Desktop ATM in our Branches and this is a unique model where it works like any other ATM and other Bank customers can also withdraw their money. With desktop ATMs, there is no need for separate ATM room and there is no security problem.

POS Machine Installation
During the year, our Bank has also took up the initiative of
installing PoS machines (as sub member of SBI) at merchant
establishments, who are our Bank's customers. Necessary
agreements have been entered into with the respective SBI
circles and 454 applications have been sourced for installation.
This will be functional during the next FY.
Online Voucher Verification System:
During the year, the Bank has introduced and implemented
online Voucher Verification System. Earlier, each transaction
put through CBS, supported by a Voucher used to be checked
manually with the Voucher Verification Reports generated
from CBS tallying with the physical vouchers. The timely
checking of the Voucher Verification Report(VVR) is a very
important function which would bring out the correctness of
the transaction performed by the CBS user and also brings out
any fraudulent/mischievous transaction that has been
perpetuated by any fraudulent user of CBS. This function of
VVR checking also need to be monitored by the controllers so
as to ensure that technology implemented in the banking
operations are not misused by any insider. In the manual
system, there used to be certain issues pertaining to
responsibility / accountability of the operating staff in regard to
the verification and more importantly the monitoring aspect as
to ensure 100% checking.
Online Voucher Verification system automated the checking of
transactions online by a person other than the checker or
maker. This acts as a deterrent in perpetuating fraudulent
transactions. The controller has been provided an effective
tool for verifying the pendency of VVR checking at branches
from a central location.
This has also effectively eliminated the necessity of printing
the Voucher Verification Reports saving paper, time and space
and curtailing the usage of peripherals like printer, leading to
Go Green initiative.
New NPA Module:
1. The health of loans and advances are system tracked. The
NPA tracking is carried out on a daily basis. The IRAC status of
the loan accounts identified by the system was studied and the
following steps initiated to improve the accuracy of the system
identification.
a. Data Gap in the loan/advances accounts as per the system
was shortlisted.
b. The data gaps were shared with the branches and updated as
per the loan documents.
c. The errors in classifying the loan accounts by the system
were studied to eliminate the error in system tracked NPAs.
d. A new NPA module was developed and promoted to
address and fix all the bugs in the old NPA module and
promoted.
NPA MIS Reports:
Success of our Bank in effectively monitoring the Loan
Accounts and initiating appropriate corrective action in
avoiding / reducing the NPAs, can be attributed to NPA Reports
generated and made available to all levels of administration.
MIS Tool for Branches: An MIS tool was developed for
generation of customized NPA reports at the branches using
the available loan balance file in the branch reports. This is a
user friendly tool and any branch staff can generate NPA MIS
report in the format he/she likes. This tool has been deployed at
all the branches for their convenience, to work out their own
strategies for tackling their NPA accounts. This tool is also
made available on the intranet for downloading and use.
Beyond the above the bank controllers at all levels are
provided with NPA MIS reports on daily basis. The reports are
provided branch wise, region wise, segment wise and IRAC

status wise. The NPA MIS reports are analyzed for slippages
and the stake holders sounded for corrective measures to be
implemented at the Head Office and Regional Office levels.
The daily slippages are flashed through SMS messages and in
WhatsApp groups at central level and regional office levels.
The regional offices also communicate with the branches the
NPA slippages individually. The NPA position is reviewed in
the monthly reviewing meeting at bank level and regional
office level and necessary instructions and corrective measures
adopted. Recovery teams are formed to assists branches in
recovery operations where ever the slippages are felt to be
monitored closely for recovery.
The adoption of technology in classifying, tracking and
monitoring of NPA has assisted in bring down the NPA of the
bank from 4.43% in 2013-14 to 1.36 % in 2017-18.
Audit Sampling Reports:
To facilitate improvement in the quality of audit during Branch
audit and inspection, a facility to generate random sample
accounts to be verified by the branch inspector has been put in
place.
Information Security:
The bank pays utmost importance towards safeguarding the
information technology assets of the bank. The Bank has
formulated, Information Security Policy, Information
Technology Policy, Information Security Audit Policy &
Internet Banking Policy and implemented after obtaining

external agency at periodical intervals. Information systems
audit is part of Risk Focused Internal Audit systems (RIFA) of
the bank which plays an important role in the assessment of the
IS assets and practices in use at the branches during branch
audits carried out by Internal auditors of the bank.
Anti-virus is installed and monitored in the bank centrally. The
patches of antivirus in branch servers are updated regularly. In
client systems the up-dation of antivirus is taken up by the
AMC providers. Regular instructions and updates are
provided to the branches to caution them in regard to any
impending threat. The use of external media is disabled at the
branches to arrest spread of any attack from the external media.
Biometric authentication system for login to the CBS
application was introduced. This eliminates login of
unauthorized persons into the application and also aids in
fixing accountability for any frauds or malpractices. The use of
operating systems is monitored and updated as per the
requirement in all the systems of the bank to remove any
vulnerability on this account.
The effectiveness of information technology is the continuous
availability of all the services to the branches to carry out daily
business and the customers for availing banking services at
their convenience.

which functions on connectivity provided on various carriers
like VSAT, RF and MPLS leased lines. A tool is developed and
deployed in the Bank to monitor the continuous availability of
connectivity at branches and to ascertain the reasons for loss of
connectivity and necessary steps initiated for restoration. This

While complaints cannot be avoided, some of the complaints provide useful feedback to review our performance and systems and procedures. A genuine complaint from a customer means an opportunity to the Bank to upgrade our skills and efficiency. The Bank has put in place complaint-handling-policy to redress the grievances of the customers and improve the quality of customer service. The Bank has placed enormous emphasis on timely disposal of complains and follow up system has been strengthened to dispose off the complaints within timelines set. All Branches are conducting customer meets every quarter and important customers are invited. Their views and opinion were solicited in order to take
51
from LCPC which has a direct impact on the brand image
of the bank. Cheque books can be indented by the
customer using mobile banking, internet banking, branch
and would be directly delivered to the customers address.
e. Due to the centralization of liabilities at LCPC the bank
could achieve aadhaar seeding to 96.2%.
f. E-Returns: A technological initiative for returning the
KYC deficient account opening in the form of images, to
monitor resubmission and processing was introduced.
This eliminates physical movement of account opening
forms to branches, and also eliminates the delay in time to
deliver the physical forms.

Auditor's Responsibility
4. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
5. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Bank's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
6 We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

The Bank's financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting on going concern basis, unless otherwise stated and conform in all material aspects to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India, which comprise applicable statutory provisions, regulatory norms / guidelines prescribed by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) / Reserve Bank Of India (RBI), Banking Regulation Act 1949, Regional Rural Bank Act, 1976 and amendments thereto and Accounting Standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), and the practices prevalent in the banking industry in India.
2. Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amount of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as on the date of financial statements and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable and are based upon management's evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of financial statements. Future results could differ from to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the period in which the result are known / materialised.
3. Revenue Recognition:
a) Income and Expenditure are accounted on accrual basis, except otherwise stated.
b) Interest income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account as it accrues except, income from Non Performing Assets (NPAs), comprising of advances and investments which is recognised upon realisation, as per the prudential norms prescribed by the RBI or other regulatory authorities.
c) Profit / loss on sale of investments is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
d) Income (other than interest) on interest bearing investments in "Held to Maturity (HTM)" category acquired at a discount to the face value, is recognised only at the time of sale / redemption.

a) Investments are classified into three categories viz., Held to Maturity (HTM), Available for Sale (AFS) and Held for Trading (HFT) as per RBI guidelines.
Investments that the Bank intends to hold till maturity are classified as Held to Maturity (HTM).
Investments that are held principally for resale within 90 days from the date of purchase are classified as Held for Trading (HFT)
Investments, which are not classified in the above two categories, are classified as Available for Sale (AFS).
An investment is classified as HTM / HFT / AFS at the time of its purchase and subsequent shifting amongst categories is done in conformity with regulatory guidelines.
However, for disclosure in Balance Sheet these are classified as under - Government Securities, Other Approved Securities and Others.
b) The Securities in each classification are valued in accordance with RBI guidelines as detailed hereunder:
In determining the acquisition cost of an investment:
Brokerage or Commission received on subscriptions is reduced from the cost.
Broking period interest paid / received on debt instruments is treated as interest expense / income and is excluded from cost or sale consideration.
Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method for investments under AFS and HFT category and FIFO basis (First in First out) for investments under HTM category
Transfer of securities from HFT / AFS category to HTM category is carried out at the lower of acquisition cost / book value / market value on the date of transfer. The depreciation, if any, on such transfer is fully provided for. However, transfer of securities from HTM category to AFS category is carried out on at acquisition price / book value. After transfer, these securities are immediately re-valued and resultant depreciation, if any, is provided
Investments under Held to Maturity category are carried at acquisition cost unless it is more than the face value, in which case the premium is amortised over the period of remaining maturity on constant yield basis. Such amortisation of premium is adjusted against income under the head “Interest on Investments”.
Investments in equity shares of other companies are valued at historical cost. A provision is made for diminution, other than temporary, for each investment individually.
Investments under AFS and HFT category are individually re-valued at market price or fair value determined as per regulatory guidelines, and only the net depreciation of each group for each category (viz., (i) Government securities (ii) Other Approved Securities) is provided for and net appreciation is ignored. On provision for depreciation, the book value of individual security remains unchanged after marking to market.
Investments are classified as Performing and Non Peforming, based on the guidelines issued by the RBI. Investments of domestic offices become non performing where:
Interest or instalment (including maturity proceeds) is due and remains unpaid for more than 90 days.
In the case of equity shares, in the event the investment in the shares of any company is valued at Rs. 1/- per company on account of the non availability of the latest balance sheet, those equity shares will be reckoned as NPI.

Loans and advances are classified as performing and non-performing, based on the guidelines/ directives issued by the RBI. Loan assets become Non Performing Asset (NPA) where:

ii. For long duration crops, where the principal or interest remains overdue for one crop season.
