BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.

(INDIA BRANCHES)
(Incorporated in U.S.A. With Limited Liability)

Independent Auditor’s Report


To the Chief Executive Officer
Bank of America N.A. (India Branches)
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bank of America N.A. (India Branches) (the ‘Bank’), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, the Profit and
Loss Account, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the
Banking Regulation Act, 1949 as well as the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) in the manner so required for banking companies and give a true and fair view in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Bank as at 31 March 2021, and its profit, and its cash flows for the year ended
on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) specified under Section 143 (10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements
under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the financial statements.
Emphasis of matter
As more fully described in Note 18 (V) (6) (vii) to the financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on the Bank’s financial
performance is dependent on future developments, which are highly uncertain.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
The Bank’s management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Basel III Pillar 3 Disclosures report
but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
The Bank’s management is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134 (5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and cash flows of the Bank in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, provisions of Section 29 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and the circulars and guidelines issued by
Reserve Bank of India (‘RBI’) from time to time. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of
the Act, for safeguarding of the assets of the Bank and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting
policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were
operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Bank’s management is also responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the bank has adequate internal financial controls with reference to the financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Annexure A to the Independent Auditor’s Report of even date on the financial statements of Bank of America
N.A. (India Branches) for the year ended 31 March 2021
Bank of America N.A. (India Branches)
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(Referred to in paragraph B (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements of Bank of America N.A. (India Branches) (the ‘Bank’) as of 31 March 2021 in
conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Bank for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Bank has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements and such internal financial controls
were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, based on the internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements criteria established by the Bank
considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘Guidance Note’).
Management’s responsibility for internal financial controls
The Bank’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to the financial
statements criteria established by the Bank considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its
business, including adherence to the Bank’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of
the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’).
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Bank’s internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143 (10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial
controls with reference to the financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements were established and maintained and
whether such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend
on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Bank’s internal financial controls with
reference to the financial statements.
Meaning of internal financial controls over financial reporting
A bank’s internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A bank’s internal financial
controls with reference to the financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the bank; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the bank are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the bank; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the bank’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management
override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls
with reference to the financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.
(INDIA BRANCHES)
(Incorporated in U.S.A. With Limited Liability)

SCHEDULES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2021
SCHEDULE 18 - Significant accounting policies and notes to the Financial Statements
I) Background
The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 comprise the accounts of the India branches of Bank of America, N.A. (the
Bank), which is incorporated in the United States of America with limited liability.
II) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting, unless
otherwise stated and are in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India, requirement prescribed under the Third
Schedule of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, circulars and guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time and
Accounting Standards (AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other relevant provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 and Companies Act, 1956, to the extent applicable and conform to the statutory requirements prescribed by RBI from time
to time and current practices prevailing within the banking industry in India.
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees rounded off to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.
III) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent
liabilities as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and difference between the actual
results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known. Any revision in the accounting estimates is recognized
prospectively in the current and future periods.
IV) Significant Accounting Policies
1) Revenue recognition
i. Interest income is recognized in the Profit and Loss Account on an accrual basis, except in case of interest on non-performing
assets which is recognized as income upon receipt in accordance with the income recognition and asset classification norms of
RBI. Interest income on discounted instruments is recognized over the tenor of the instrument.
ii. Commission on guarantees and letters of credit is recognized upon receipt except commission exceeding the rupee equivalent of
USD 50,000, which is recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the contract.
2) Foreign Exchange Transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded and translated at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange
differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting an enterprise’s monetary items at rates different from those
at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in the previous financial statements, are recognized as income
or as expenses in the period in which they arise.
Foreign currency monetary items are reported at the balance sheet date at exchange rates notified by the Foreign Exchange Dealers’
Association of India (FEDAI) and the resulting exchange differences are recognized as income or as expense in the Profit and Loss
Account.
Foreign exchange spot and forward contracts outstanding as at the balance sheet date and held for trading, are revalued at rates of
exchange notified by FEDAI and the resulting gains / losses are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.
Foreign exchange forward contracts not intended for trading, which are entered into for establishing the amount of reporting currency
required or available at the settlement date of a transaction, and are outstanding at the balance sheet date, are valued at the closing spot
rate. Premium / discount arising at the inception of such contracts are amortized in the Profit and Loss Account over the life of the contract.
Contingent liabilities on account of foreign exchange contracts, guarantees and acceptances, endorsements and other obligations
denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are disclosed by using the closing rates of exchange notified by the FEDAI.
3) Derivatives
The Bank enters into derivative contracts such as interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, currency options, as well as exchange-
traded interest rate futures, currency futures and currency options.
All derivative contracts are classified as trading derivatives. Outstanding exchange-traded interest rate futures, currency futures
and currency options are marked-to-market using the closing price of relevant contracts as published by the exchanges / clearing
corporation. Margin money deposited with the exchanges is presented under ‘Other Assets’. All other outstanding derivative
contracts are valued at the estimated realizable market price (fair value). The resulting gains / losses are recognized in the Profit
and Loss Account under ‘Other Income’. The corresponding unrealized gains are presented under ‘Other Assets’ and unrealized
losses under ‘Other Liabilities’ on the Balance Sheet.
Fair value is determined by reference to a quoted market price or by using a valuation model. In case the market prices do not
appropriately represent the fair value that would be realized for a position or portfolio, valuation adjustments such as market risk
close-out costs and bid-offer adjustments are made to arrive at the appropriate fair value. These adjustments are calculated on a
portfolio basis and reported as part of the carrying value of the positions being valued, thus reducing trading assets or increasing
trading liabilities.
Valuation models, where used, calculate the expected cash flows under terms of the specific contracts, taking into account the
relevant market factors viz. interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatility, prices etc.
The Bank also maintains general provision for standard assets on the current mark-to-market value of the contract, arising on
account of derivative and foreign exchange transactions in accordance with RBI Master circular (DBR.No.BP.BC.2/21.04.048/2015-
16 dated July 1, 2015) on prudential norms on income recognition, asset classification and provisioning pertaining to advances.
Any overdue receivables representing positive mark-to-market value of derivative and foreign exchange contracts are treated as
non-performing assets, if remaining unpaid for a period of 90 days or more pursuant to the above guidelines.

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.
(INDIA BRANCHES)
(Incorporated in U.S.A. With Limited Liability)

SCHEDULES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2021
4) Investments
Investments are accounted for in accordance with RBI Master Circular (DBR No. BP.BC. 6/ 21.04.141 / 2015-16 dated July 1, 2015)
on prudential norms for classification, valuation and operation of investment portfolio by banks.
Classification
Investments are accounted on settlement date basis and are classified as “Held to Maturity” (HTM), “Held for Trading” (HFT) and
“Available for Sale” (AFS) at the time of purchase in accordance with RBI norms. Under each of these classifications, investments are
further categorized as i) Government Securities ii) Other approved securities iii) Shares iv) Debentures and Bonds v) Subsidiaries and/
or joint ventures and vi) Others.
Valuation
Investments held under HTM classification are carried at acquisition cost. If the acquisition cost is more than the face value, the
premium is amortized over the remaining tenor of the investments.
Investments classified under HFT and AFS portfolio are marked-to-market on a monthly basis. Investments classified under HFT
and AFS portfolio are valued as per rates declared by Financial Benchmark India Pvt. Ltd. (FBIL) and in accordance with RBI
guidelines. Consequently net depreciation, if any, under each of the classifications in respect of any category mentioned in ‘Schedule
8-Investments’ is provided for in the Profit and Loss Account. The net appreciation, if any, under any classification is ignored, except
to the extent of any depreciation provided previously. The book value of the individual securities is not changed consequent to periodic
valuation of investments.
Treasury Bills including US Treasury bills, Commercial Paper and Certificates of Deposit, being discounted instruments, are valued at
carrying cost. Cost of investments is based on the weighted average cost method.
Investment Reserve Account
In accordance with the aforesaid Master Circular, in case the provision on account of depreciation in the HFT and AFS categories
is found to be in excess of the required amount, the excess is credited to the Profit and Loss Account and an equivalent amount net
of taxes, if any, adjusted for transfer to Statutory Reserve (to the extent as applicable to such excess provision) is appropriated to the
Investment Reserve Account.
The provision required to be created on account of depreciation in investments in AFS and HFT categories is debited to the Profit and
Loss Account and an equivalent amount net of tax benefit, if any and net of consequent reduction in transfer to Statutory Reserves is
transferred from the Investment Reserve Account to the Profit and Loss Account, to the extent available.
Investment Fluctuation Reserve
In accordance with RBI Circular - DBR.No.BP.BC.102/21.04.048/2017-18 dated April 2, 2018, an Investment Fluctuation Reserve
was created to protect against increase in yields. As required by the aforesaid circular the transfer to this reserve will be lower of the
following – i) net profit on sale of investments during the year ; ii) net profit for the year less mandatory appropriations, until the amount
of the reserve is at least 2 percent of the HFT and AFS portfolio, on a continuing basis.
Transfer between classifications
Transfer of investment between classifications is accounted for in accordance with the extant RBI guidelines, as under:
a) Transfer from AFS/HFT to HTM is made at the lower of book value or market value at the time of transfer.
b) Transfer from HTM to AFS/HFT is made at acquisition price/book value if originally placed in HTM at a discount and at
amortized cost if originally placed in HTM at a premium.
c) Transfer from AFS to HFT is made at book value and the related provision for depreciation held, if any, is transferred to provision
for depreciation against the HFT securities and vice-versa.
Repo transactions
Market repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions are accounted for as secured borrowing and lending transactions in accordance
with RBI guidelines. Borrowing costs on the market repurchase transactions are accounted as interest expense and revenue on reverse
repurchase transactions are accounted as interest income.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions with RBI under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility and Marginal Standing Facility are
also accounted for as secured borrowing and lending transactions.
Brokerage and Commission
Brokerage and Commission paid at the time of acquisition of a security is charged to the Profit and Loss Account.
Broken period interest
Broken period interest paid at the time of acquisition of the security is charged to the Profit and Loss Account.
5) Tangible fixed assets and capital work-in-progress
Tangible fixed assets are stated at the original cost of acquisition and related expenses less accumulated depreciation and/ or
accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes
or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, any trade discounts
and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Assets, which are not under active use and are held for disposal, are
stated at lower of their net book value and net realizable value. Capital work-in-progress comprises cost of fixed assets that are
not yet ready for their intended use as at the reporting date.
Profit on disposal of fixed assets is recognized in the Profit and Loss Account and an equivalent amount net of taxes, if any
adjusted for applicable transfer to Statutory Reserve is appropriated to the Capital Reserve; losses on disposal are recognized in
the Profit and Loss Account.
6) Intangible assets
The Bank capitalizes intangible assets, where it is reasonably estimated that the intangible asset has an enduring useful life.
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition of such assets and are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

SCHEDULES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2021
7) Depreciation and amortization
i) Except for items forming part of (iii) and (iv) below, depreciation on tangible assets is provided, pro-rata for the period of
use, by straight line method (SLM), over the estimated useful life of each asset as determined by management and as stated
in the table below

Category Useful Life


Server, networking, computer and other computer equipment 2 to 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 10 years
Vehicles 5 years
Other equipment (mechanical / electronic) 3 to 6.67 years
Enterprise Core Network (larger complex core routers) 10 years
ii) The Bank has arrived at the above estimates of useful lives based on an internal assessment and technical evaluation and
believes that the useful lives stated above represent the best estimate of the period over which it expects to use the assets.
With the exception of Furniture and Fittings, the useful lives estimated by the Bank as stated in the table above are different
from the useful lives prescribed under “Part C” of “Schedule II” of the Companies Act, 2013 Part C.
iii) Tangible assets costing less than the rupee equivalent of USD 2,500 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
iv) Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease period including the renewal periods, if any. Assets associated with
premises taken on lease are depreciated on straight line basis over the lease period or the useful lives stated above, whichever
is shorter.
v) Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives as estimated by the management commencing from the date the asset
is available for use as stated in the table below:
Category Useful Life
Software* 2 to 5 years
* Software individually costing less than the rupee equivalent of USD 10,000 is fully amortized in the year of purchase.
8. Impairment of Assets
An asset is considered as impaired when at the balance sheet date, there are indications that the asset may be impaired and the
carrying amount of the asset, or where applicable, the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs, exceeds its recoverable
amount (i.e. the higher of the asset’s net selling price and value-in- use). The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether
there is any indication that an asset may be impaired based on internal/external factors. If any such indication exists, the Bank
estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset is less than the carrying amount, the carrying
amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account.
9. Advances
Advances are classified into performing and non performing advances in accordance with RBI Master Circular (DBR.No.BP.
BC.2/21.04.048/2015-16 dated July 1, 2015) on prudential norms on income recognition, asset classification and provisioning pertaining
to advances. Further, non-performing assets (NPA) are classified into sub-standard, doubtful and loss assets as per RBI guidelines.
Specific loan loss provisions in respect of non-performing advances are made based on management assessment of the degree of
impairment, subject to the minimum provisioning norms laid down by RBI. Interest on non-performing advances is not recognized
in the Profit and Loss Account until received.
Advances are stated net of bills re-discounted, specific loan loss provisions and interest-in-suspense for non- performing advances
in accordance with the prudential norms.
The Bank also maintains general provisions, in accordance with RBI guidelines, on standard assets over and above the specific
provisions to cover potential credit losses inherent in any loan portfolio.
Provision on standard assets, un-hedged foreign currency exposure of borrowers, country risk exposure and enhancing credit supply
to large borrowers is made in accordance with the norms prescribed by RBI and disclosed under Schedule 5 – ‘Other Liabilities
and Provisions’.
10. Employee Benefits
Provident fund
The Bank contributes to a Government administered provident fund in respect of its employees. The Bank has no further obligation
beyond making the contributions. Contributions to provident fund are made in accordance with the statute, and are recognized as an
expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Gratuity
The Bank has a gratuity scheme, a defined benefit plan, for all eligible employees, which is administered by a trust set up by the Bank.
The costs of providing benefits under the gratuity scheme are determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method on the basis of
actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date. The Bank makes periodical contributions to the
trust. Gratuity benefit obligations recognised on the Balance Sheet represent the present value of the obligations as reduced by the fair
value of plan assets. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which they arise.
During the current year, the trust transferred management of its funds to a private insurance company.
Compensated Absences
Liability for defined benefit plans in the nature of sick leave and privilege leave for all eligible employees is recognized based on
actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary as at the balance sheet date.

(INDIA BRANCHES)
(Incorporated in U.S.A. With Limited Liability)

SCHEDULES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2021
Pension
The Bank has a pension scheme, a defined contribution plan, for all eligible employees, which is administered by a trust set up by the
Bank. The Bank’s contribution towards the pension scheme is accounted for on an accrual basis and recognized as an expense in the
Profit and Loss Account during the period in which employee renders the related service. The Bank has no further obligation beyond
making the contributions.
During the current year, the trust transferred management of its funds to a private insurance company.
11) Taxation
Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the applicable tax
rates and laws in respect of taxable income for the year, in accordance with the Income tax-Act, 1961.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income
i.e. difference that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. The deferred tax charge
or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets arising on account of carry forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under tax laws are recognized only if
there is virtual certainty of its realization, supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets on account of other timing differences are recognized
only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written
up to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized.
12) Accounting for leases
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership over the lease term are classified as
operating leases. For operating leases, lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight
line basis over the lease term.
13) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Bank has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably and
is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized at the best
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The provisions are measured on an
undiscounted basis. A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that
may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably.
Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best available estimate. If it is no longer probable

a. Qualitative Disclosure
• The Bank enters into derivative contracts for the purposes of market-making and to meet customer requirements to manage
their risks.
• The Bank has a policy in place for measurement, reporting, monitoring and mitigating credit, market and operational risk.
◦ Credit risk is managed based on the risk profile of the borrower or counterparty, repayment sources and other support
given the current events, conditions and expectations. Credit risk for a derivative contract is sum of the potential future
changes in value and the replacement cost, which is the positive mark-to-market value of the contract.
◦ The Bank uses Value-at-Risk (VaR) modeling and stress testing to measure and manage market risk. Trading limits
and VaR are used to manage day-to-day risks and are subject to testing where expected performance is compared to
actual performance. All limit excesses are communicated to senior management for review.
◦ There exists an organizational set up for the management of risk. All lines of business are responsible for the risks
within the business including operational risks. Such risks are managed through corporate-wide and/or line of business
specific policies and procedures, controls, and monitoring tools.

(vii) COVID-19
In the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. In an attempt to contain
the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home orders and limitations
on business activity have been implemented. Additionally, there has been a decline in economic activity, reduced economic output
and a deterioration in macroeconomic conditions globally.
This has resulted in, among other things, volatility in global and Indian financial markets. Although vaccines have been approved
for immunization against COVID-19 and restrictive measures have been eased in certain areas, the Bank’s counterparties and
clients and local economy have been negatively impacted and are likely to be so for an extended period of time, as there remains
significant uncertainty about the timing and strength of an economic recovery. The Bank has taken actions to mitigate the impacts
of COVID-19, which has included moving a majority of staff to a work from home posture, deep sanitisation of offices, monitoring
of body temperature, providing masks and arranging medical support for employees.
The future direct and indirect impact of COVID-19 on the Bank’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition remain
highly uncertain. Should current economic conditions persist or deteriorate, this macroeconomic environment will have a continued
adverse effect on the Bank’s businesses and results of operations.
(viii) COVID-19 Regulatory Package
As per RBI guidelines relating to COVID-19 Regulatory Package dated March 27, 2020, April 17, 2020 and May 23, 2020, all
commercial Banks were permitted to grant a moratorium of three months on payment of all instalments falling due between March
1, 2020 and May 31, 2020 (further extended by three months till August 31, 2020). For accounts, where the moratorium was
granted, the asset classification was under standstill during the moratorium period (i.e. the number of days past-due excluded the
moratorium period for the purposes of asset classification under the Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning norms).

In accordance with the instructions in RBI circular RBI/2021-22/17 DOR.STR.REC.4/21.04.048/2021-22 dated April 7, 2021,
the Bank is required to refund / adjust ‘interest on interest’ to all borrowers including those who had availed of working capital
facilities during the moratorium period, irrespective of whether moratorium had been fully or partially availed, or not availed. As

In accordance with RBI guidelines, the Bank has identified two primary segments: Treasury and Corporate Banking. These segments
are identified based on nature of services provided, risk and returns, organizational structure of the Bank and the internal financial
reporting system.
Treasury operations comprise derivatives trading, money market operations, investment in bonds, treasury bills and government securi-
ties and foreign exchange operations. The revenues of this segment consist of interest earned on investments, profit / (loss) on sale of
investments and profits/(loss) on exchange / derivative transactions. The principal expenses of this segment consist of interest expense
on funds borrowed, occupancy expenses, personnel costs, other direct overheads and allocated expenses.
Corporate Banking primarily comprises funded and non-funded facilities to clients, cash management activities and fee-based activities.
Revenues of this segment consist of interest earned on loans given to clients, on cash management services and fees received from non-
fund based activities i.e. issuance of letters of credit, guarantees etc. The principal expenses of this segment consist of interest expenses
on funds borrowed, occupancy expenses, personnel costs, other direct overheads and allocated expenses.
Unallocated expenses are reviewed for attribution to the primary segment on an ongoing basis.
The Bank does not have Retail banking and residual operations hence no segmental disclosures for Retail banking and other banking
operations have been made.

18. Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets
The Bank has assessed its obligations arising in the normal course of business, including pending litigations, proceedings pending
with tax authorities and other contracts including derivative and long term contracts. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting
Standard - 29 on ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, the Bank recognizes a provision for material foreseeable
losses when it has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. In cases where the available information indicates that the
loss on the contingency is reasonably possible but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, a disclosure to this effect is made
as contingent liabilities in the financial statements. The Bank does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially
adverse effect on its financial results.
Description of Contingent Liabilities stated in Schedule 12
a) Claims against the Bank not acknowledged as Debts
The Bank is a party to certain legal proceedings in the normal course of business. This also includes claims/demands raised by
income tax and service tax authorities which are disputed by the Bank.
b) Liability on account of foreign exchange and derivative contracts
The Bank enters into foreign exchange contracts, currency options, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, interest rate futures and
currency futures with inter-bank participants on its own account and for its customers.
Foreign exchange contracts are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency at a future date at the contracted rate. Currency
options give the buyer, on payment of a premium, the right but not an obligation, to buy or sell specified amounts of currency
at agreed rates of exchange on or before a specified future date. Currency Futures contract is a standardized foreign exchange
derivative contract traded on a recognized stock exchange to buy or sell one currency against another on a specified future date,
at a price specified on the date of contract. Currency Swaps are commitments to exchange cash flows by the way of interest/
principal in one currency against another, based on predetermined rates. Interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange fixed
and floating interest rate cash flows. The notional amounts that are recorded as contingent liabilities are typically amounts used
as a basis for the calculation of interest component of the contract and do not necessarily indicate the amounts of future cash
flows involved or the current fair value of such contracts and, therefore, do not indicate the Bank’s exposure to credit or price
risks. These contracts become favorable (assets) or unfavorable (liabilities) as a result of movements in the market rates or prices
relative to their terms. Interest Rate Futures contract is a standardized derivative contract with an interest bearing instrument viz
government bond as the underlying asset.
c) Guarantees given on behalf of Constituents, Acceptances, Endorsements and otherobligations
As a part of its corporate banking activities, the Bank issues documentary credit and guarantees on behalf of its customers.
Documentary credits such as letters of credit enhance the credit standing of the customers of the Bank. Guarantees generally
represent irrevocable assurances that the Bank will make payments in the event of customer failing to fulfill its financial or
performance obligations.
d) Other items for which the Bank is contingently liable
These include i) Committed Lines of Credit, ii) Capital Commitments and iii) Depositor Education and Awareness Fund (DEAF).
e) Movement in Provision for Contingencies (Rs. ‘000)

40. Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (“UFCE”) of borrowers:
UFCE of the borrowers is an area of risk for the individual entity as well as the entire financial system. Entities who do not hedge
their exposures may incur significant losses due to exchange rate movements, which in turn can reduce their capability to service the
loans taken from banks.
The Bank recognizes the importance of the risk of adverse fluctuation of foreign exchange rates on the profitability and financial position
of borrowers, who are exposed to currency risk. In this regard, the Bank, in line with RBI circular on UFCE dated January 15, 2014 has
put in place requisite procedures for monitoring and mitigation of currency induced credit risk of borrowers. These include the following:
• Details of UFCE sought from the borrower at the time of granting fresh credit facilities.
• Periodic monitoring of un-hedged foreign currency exposures of existing borrowers.
• Incremental provisioning (over and above provision applicable for standard assets) is made in Bank’s Profit and Loss Account, on
borrower counterparties having UFCE, depending on the likely loss / EBID# ratio. Incremental capital is maintained in respect of
borrower counterparties in the highest risk category. These requirements are given below.
Likely Loss/EBID# (%) Incremental provisioning requirement Incremental capital requirement
on total credit exposure over & above
standard asset provisioning
Upto 15% NIL NIL
More than 15% and upto 30% 20 bps NIL
More than 30% and upto 50% 40 bps NIL
More than 50% and upto 75% 60 bps NIL
More than 75% or data unavailable 80 bps 25% increase in the risk weight
#EBID, as defined for purposes of computation of Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Profit After Tax + Depreciation + Interest on debt
+ Lease Rentals, if any.
• In case of borrowers exposed to currency risk where declarations are not submitted, provision for currency induced credit risk and
incremental capital are maintained as per highest risk category,i.e. 80bps and 25% increase in the risk weight respectively.
Provision held for currency induced credit risk as at March 31, 2021 was Rs. 849,452 (‘000) (as at March 31, 2020: Rs. 1,110,739
(‘000)). Incremental Risk weighted assets value considered for the purpose of CRAR calculation in respect of currency induced credit
risk as at March 31, 2021 was Rs. 47,106,338 (‘000) (as at March 31, 2020 : Rs. 58,378,309 (‘000)).

41. ii) Qualitative disclosure around LCR :


The Bank measures and monitors the LCR in line with RBI’s guidelines on “BASEL III Framework on Liquidity Standards – Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR), Liquidity Risk Monitoring Tools and LCR Disclosure Standards” dated June 09, 2014 as amended by “Prudential
Guidelines on Capital adequacy and Liquidity Standards” dated March 31, 2015 along with the amendments issued by RBI.
The LCR guidelines aim at measuring and promoting short term resilience of banks to potential liquidity disruptions, by ensuring that banks
maintain an adequate level of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLAs) to meet net cash outflows over next 30 days in a severe
liquidity stress scenario.
In order to accommodate the burden on bank’s cash flow on account of COVID 19 pandemic, the minimum LCR requirement was reduced
from 100% to 80 % from April 17, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and then to 90% from October 01, 2020 till March 31, 2021. The Bank has
incorporated LCR as part of its risk appetite metric and has maintained LCR above the regulatory threshold on a daily basis for FY2020-21.
The Bank has been maintaining HQLA in the form of excess CRR balance and SLR investments over and above mandatory requirement apart
from regulatory dispensation allowed in the form of borrowing limit available through Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) and Facility to Avail
Liquidity for Liquidity Coverage Ratio (FALLCR). The Bank’s HQLA consists mostly of Level 1 assets which are the most liquid assets
as indicated by RBI. The main drivers of the LCR computation consist of outflows from eligible deposits and inflows from eligible advances,
computed on the basis of run-off rates prescribed by RBI.
The Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) is the primary governing body for the oversight of the Bank’s liquidity risk management,
while the day-to-day management of liquidity risk is the responsibility of Corporate Treasury.
42. Other expenditure in ‘Schedule 16 – Operating Expenses’ includes Head office administration Expenditure of Rs. 505,029 (‘000) for the year
ended March 31, 2021(Previous year ended March 31, 2020 :Rs. 433,149 (‘000)) and expenses for Information Technology Support Services

Table DF-2: Capital Adequacy


I. Qualitative disclosures
The Bank is required to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in India including guidelines issued by RBI and other relevant
regulatory bodies.
The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”) document assesses the capital adequacy for the Bank and details the process by which
this assessment is made based on a reference date and looking forward, over a three-year planning horizon (“ICAAP Planning Horizon”).
ICAAP establishes a framework for banks to perform a comprehensive assessment of the risks they face and relate capital to those risks. The capital
analysis performed by the Bank is expected to encompass all risks, not just the risks captured by the Basel III Pillar 1 minimum regulatory capital
calculation. Successful risk identification and measurement requires having a comprehensive process to quantify measure and aggregate these various
risks in order to ensure that the Bank’s capital resources are sufficient to cushion volatility in earnings due to unexpected losses.
The authority to develop the ICAAP document is delegated to the Finance department. The Bank’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) is
responsible for the production of ICAAP with inputs from Front Line Units (“Businesses” or “Business”), Independent Risk Management and
Control Functions. Enterprise-wide functions, including Global Markets and Financial Risk (“GMFR”) and Enterprise Capital Management
(“ECM”) also review the ICAAP to ensure adequate challenge and consistency with Enterprise practices.
The Bank has established an Internal Capital Guideline (“IGL”) and maintains capital levels in excess of this guideline. Bank has set up a
“Tripwire” above the IGL to serve as an early warning signal to prompt action and avoid a capital breach.
The ICAAP document is presented to the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) and the Local Management Team (“LMT”) for final review
and approval on an annual basis. The ICAAP is also validated by Corporate Audit periodically, as required under RBI guidelines.
ICAAP is an integral management tool for determining the adequacy of the Bank’s capital resources throughout the ICAAP planning horizon.
It is also utilized to assess the risks being faced by the Bank and assess the adequacy of BANA India’s capital under Baseline as well as Stress
Scenarios over the ICAAP Planning Horizon. The ALCO and the LMT are responsible for acting at an early stage to prevent capital from
falling below the minimum levels required to support risk characteristics.
Capital Requirements for Pillar 1 risks (i.e. Credit Risk, Market Risk and Operational Risk)
The Bank has adopted Standardized Approach (“SA”) for credit risk, Standardized Duration Approach (“SDA”) for market risk and Basic
Indicator Approach (“BIA”) for operational risk for computing its capital requirement.
Under the SA for credit risk, the Bank relies upon the ratings issued by the external credit rating agencies specified by the RBI for assigning
risk weights for capital adequacy purposes under the Basel III guidelines. The risk weights applicable for claims against banks, sovereign,
corporate and other Assets are as per the Basel III guidelines. In compiling the credit exposures, the Bank has not availed any credit risk
mitigation techniques as permitted by the RBI.
Under the SDA for computing the capital requirement for market risk, the Bank has adopted the “duration” method.
The minimum capital requirement for market risk is computed in terms of:
a. “Specific risk” charge for each security, to protect against an adverse movement in the price of an individual security owing to factors
related to the individual issuer.
b. “General market risk” charge towards interest rate risk in the portfolio, where long and short positions in different securities or
instruments can be offset.
Under the BIA, the Bank holds capital for operational risk equal to 15% of average positive gross annual income for the previous three
financial years.

Risk Exposure and Assessment
Risk management is a disciplined approach to identify, analyse, assess and control unacceptable risk to minimize the volatility of financial
results, drive sustainable earnings and protect the Bank’s brand and reputation. The Bank takes a comprehensive approach to risk management,
integrating it with strategic, capital and financial operating plans. Risk management and capital utilization are integral parts of the strategic
planning process and are considered throughout the process to align the Business strategies with capital considerations. This holistic approach
promotes the risk versus reward analysis needed to make informed strategic and business decisions.
Bank of America’s Risk Framework requires that strong risk management practices are integrated in key strategic, capital and financial
planning processes and in day-to-day business processes, thereby ensuring risks are appropriately considered, evaluated and responded to in
a timely manner. The front line units have primary responsibility for managing risks inherent in their businesses. BAC employs an effective
risk management process, referred to as Identify, Measure, Monitor and Control (IMMC), as part of its daily activities.
Some of the risks that the Bank is exposed to are described below:
• Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the inability or failure of a borrower or counterparty to meet its obligations. BANA India manages
credit risk to a borrower or counterparty based on its risk profile, which includes assessing repayment sources, underlying collateral, if
any, and the expected effects of the current and forward-looking economic environment on the borrowers or counterparties. Underwriting,
credit management and credit risk limits are proactively reassessed as a borrower’s or counterparty’s risk profile changes
• Market risk is the risk of loss due to changes in the market values of the Bank’s assets and liabilities caused by changing interest rates,
currency exchange rates, and security prices.  Market risk is inherent in the Bank’s operations and arises from both trading and non-
trading positions. Trading exposures represent positions taken in a wide range of financial instruments and markets which expose the
Bank to various risks, such as interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, etc. The Bank manages these risks by using trading strategies
and other hedging actions which encompass a variety of financial instruments in both the cash and derivatives markets. Key market risk
exposures are assessed at both specific and aggregate levels. At the specific level, market risk sensitivities are assessed by evaluating
the impact of individual risk factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange. At the aggregate level, market risk is assessed using
two key measures, which are Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) and Bi-Weekly Maximum Observed Loss (“MoL”).
• Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external
events. BANA India manages the operational risks of its business activities using the enterprise-wide Operational Risk Framework. 
Enterprise Operational Risk policies, processes, tools, and standards are implemented by the Businesses/ECFs with Oversight from
the Independent Business/ECF Risk Teams (Regional Function). Each have a quality assurance role and through direct action or
Oversight, these stakeholders are collectively responsible for execution of the Operational Risk Program requirements, achievement of
risk management objectives, and ensuring timely action is taken in response to concerns and issues.
• Strategic risk is the risk resulting from incorrect assumptions about external or internal factors, inappropriate business plans (e.g., too
aggressive, wrong focus, ambiguous); ineffective business strategy execution; or failure to respond in a timely manner to changes in the
regulatory, macroeconomic or competitive environments in the geographic locations in which we operate (such as competitor actions,
changing customer preferences, product obsolescence and technology developments).

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.
(INDIA BRANCHES)
(Incorporated in U.S.A. With Limited Liability)

BASEL III – PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURES AS AT MARCH 31, 2021


• Liquidity risk is the inability to meet expected or unexpected cash flow and collateral needs while continuing to support our businesses
and customers under a range of economic conditions. The primary objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that BANA India
can meet expected or unexpected cash flow and collateral needs while continuing to support our businesses and customers with the
appropriate funding sources, under a range of economic conditions.
• Reputational risk is the risk that negative perceptions regarding BANA India’s conduct or business practices may adversely impact its
profitability or operations. Reputational risk may result from many of the bank’s activities, including those related to the management
of strategic, operational, compliance and credit risks. As a result, the potential impact to the bank’s reputation of all our activities and
all risks we face is evaluated. Reputational risk may arise from negative perception on the part of key stakeholders (e.g., customers,
counterparties, investors, regulators, rating agencies), scrutiny from external parties (e.g., politicians, consumer groups, media
organizations) and the ongoing threat of litigation. These reputational risk events could adversely impact the bank’s financial standing
through an inability to maintain or establish business relationships.
• Compliance risk is the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss or damage to the reputation of the Bank arising from
the failure of the Bank to comply with the requirements of applicable laws, rules, regulations, related self-regulatory organizations’
standards and codes of conduct. Bank of America is committed to complying with applicable laws, rules and regulations governing the
processes and activities of our front line units and control functions in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Bank of America has no
appetite for accepting compliance risk.
• Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB) refers to the potential adverse financial impact on the Bank’s net interest income from
changes in interest rates. Due to the fundamental nature of its business, the Bank carries various interest sensitive assets and liabilities
in its balance sheet. This exposes the Bank to risk on from changes in interest rates. These assets and liabilities essentially reside in the
banking book. In other words, IRRBB refers to the risk associated with interest rate sensitive instruments that are not held in the trading
book of the Bank. Interest rate risk in the trading book is covered in the market risk section.
• Credit concentration risk arises due to imperfect diversification of credit exposures in two ways. One, by having very large exposures
to a small set of obligors due to which, default by a big customer could result in a huge loss. This is known as name (single/group)
concentration risk. Second type of concentration is due to excessive exposure to a particular industry sector. It is observed that defaults
in a particular industry sector are generally correlated. Hence, if an industry is under a severe recession, it could result in multiple
defaults leading to huge losses.
• Other Risks
- Securitization Risk
The Bank, as of March 31, 2021, does not have any such investments. The bank has also not securitized any of its assets.
- Settlement Risk arises out of exposures on counterparties during the settlement of a deal when the Bank has performed its
obligation in the contract and the counterparty is yet to perform its part (either delivery or payment). It is of transient nature; and
may arise from counterparty default, operational problems, market liquidity constraints and other factors.
- Pension obligation risk is the risk of a shortfall of pension funds available in the future to meet pension obligations for its eligible
employees. The Bank provides for its pension liability which is a defined contribution scheme, for all its eligible employees.
- Model Risk is the potential for adverse consequences from decisions based on incorrect or misused model output and reports.
The Enterprise Model Risk Policy (“EMRP”) provides comprehensive guidance for understanding monitoring, and managing
model risk at Bank of America. The EMRP is consistent with applicable rules and regulations, and establishes a framework of
corporate responsibilities and standards for effectively managing model risk across the enterprise.
- Risk of Under-estimation of Credit Risk under the Standardized Approach
The use of standardized approach for calculating the Pillar 1 capital requirement in respect of credit risk is a conservative
approach given the portfolio primarily consists of corporate customers with strong credit profiles and the credit risk in the
portfolio is well managed by the credit risk management processes in place.
Risk Governance
BANA India has the following senior management level local committees or groups for risk governance.
Local Management Team (“LMT”)
The LMT is chaired by the Country Executive Officer of the Bank. It is the primary body which provides strategic direction to the Bank and
ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and the internal policies of the Bank. It is responsible for branch governance and oversight
of branch operations. It is also responsible for reviewing and approving new business and products. It reviews the country performance with
respect to strategic objectives. The LMT holds meetings six times in a financial year or more frequently if required. The LMT reviews and
approves the ICAAP on an annual basis or upon any revision in the interim.
Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”)
The ALCO is chaired by the Country Executive Officer of the Bank. It provides management oversight of the branch’s balance sheet,

Table DF-3: Credit Risk: General Disclosures
I. Qualitative disclosures
Robust risk management policies and procedures are laid out in the Global Banking and Markets Core policy. It is supplemented by the
Credit Compliance Manual. Written policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines are updated on a regular basis to provide a clear direction
to officers for meeting the requirements for which they are accountable. Approval authority is vested via an Approval Grid which takes into
account the quantum, internal risk rating and nature of exposure and the position/experience of the approver.
The Bank manages credit risk based on the risk profile of the borrower or counterparty, repayment sources, the nature of underlying collateral,
and other support given current events, conditions and expectations. Credit risk management begins with an assessment of the credit risk profile
of the borrower or counterparty based on an analysis of their financial position. As part of the overall credit risk assessment of a borrower or
counterparty, credit exposures are assigned a risk rating and are subject to approval based on defined credit approval standards. High Value
Proposals are subject to approvals by Credit Approval Council (“CAC”). Subsequent to loan origination, risk ratings are monitored on an
ongoing basis. If necessary, risk ratings are adjusted to reflect changes in the financial condition and cash flow of a borrower or counterparty.
BANA India follows the policy of internal rating on a scale of Risk Rating (“RR”) 1-11, and the RR is regularly monitored. Exposures with
RR of 8 or worse (criticized assets) are subject to additional scrutiny and monitoring.
Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (“UFCE”) of the borrower is an area of risk for the individual entity as well as for the entire financial
system; as entities who do not hedge their exposure may incur significant losses due to exchange rate movements, which in turn can reduce
their capability to service the loans taken from the banks. In line with the RBI circular dated January 15, 2014, BANA India has put in place
a process to ascertain the amount of UFCE, estimate the extent of likely loss and riskiness due to UFCE, and provide for incremental capital
& make incremental provision, as warranted.
In order to address concentration risk in banking industry the RBI has issued ‘Guidelines of Enhancing Credit Supply’ requiring banks to
create additional provision and also apply additional risk weights on specified borrowers effective April 01, 2018. BANA India has put in
place a process to ensure compliance with requirements of the said guidelines/directions.
As per RBI guidelines relating to COVID-19 Regulatory Package dated March 27, 2020, April 17, 2020 and May 23, 2020, all commercial
banks were permitted to grant a moratorium of three months on payment of all instalments falling due between March 1, 2020 and May
31, 2020 (further extended by three months till August 31, 2020). The Bank has laid down LMT approved policy on April 6, 2020 for any
borrower who wants to avail deferment period for a Term Loan / Overdraft facility.
Impact of RBI Regulations on Bilateral Netting
RBI has issued a circular on March 30, 2021 allowing usage of bilateral netting of Qualified Financial Contracts (QFC) to mitigate risk
subject to there being an effective bilateral netting agreement in place as specified in Annex 20 (Part B) of the Basel III Capital Regulations.
This was issued on the back of the ‘The Bilateral Netting of Qualified Financial Contracts Act, 2020 which provides a legal framework for
enforceability of bilateral netting of such contracts.
The regulations are currently being assessed to identify exposures which basis the legal documentation could qualify as per RBI guidelines
and can be considered for risk mitigation by applying netting treatment.
Definitions
• Overdue: Any amount due to Bank under any credit facility is ‘overdue’ if it is not paid by the due date.
Norms for determining when to classify various types of assets as non-performing
• Term loans are treated as non-performing if the interest and/or installments of principal remain overdue for a period of more than 90 days.
• Cash credits & overdrafts are treated as non-performing if the accounts remain out of order for a period of more than 90 days.

• An account will be treated “out of order” if the outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the sanctioned limit/drawing power.
In case where the outstanding balance is less than the sanctioned limit/drawing power, but there are no credits continuously for 90 days as on
balance-sheet date or credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the same period, these accounts will be treated as out of order.
• Bills purchased/discounted are treated as non-performing if the bill remains overdue and unpaid for a period of more than 90 days.
• Any overdue receivables representing positive mark-to-market value of a foreign exchange and interest rate derivative contracts will
be treated as non-performing asset if these remain unpaid for 90 days or more, upon becoming due
• Any other facility will be treated as non-performing if any amount to be received remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days
during the financial year

Table DF-7: Market Risk in Trading Book


I. Qualitative disclosures
Market risk is the risk of loss due to changes in the market values of the Bank’s assets and liabilities caused by changing interest rates,
currency exchange rates, and security prices.  Market risk is inherent in the Bank’s operations and arises from both trading and non-trading
positions. Trading exposures represent positions taken in a wide range of financial instruments and markets which expose the Bank to various
risks, such as interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, etc. The Bank manages these risks by using trading strategies and other hedging actions
which encompass a variety of financial instruments in both the cash and derivatives markets.
Key market risk exposures are assessed at both specific and aggregate levels. At the specific level, market risk sensitivities are assessed by
evaluating the impact of individual risk factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange. At the aggregate level, market risk is assessed
using two key measures, which are Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) and Bi-Weekly Maximum Observed Loss (“MoL”).
VaR is a statistical measure of potential portfolio market value loss resulting from changes in market variables, during a given holding period,
measured at a specified confidence level. The Branch uses historical simulation approach for VaR and it is calculated over a one-day holding
period at a 99% confidence level, using three years of historical data. The performance of VaR model is monitored through daily back-testing
and is performed at both Entity and Line of Business (LoB) level. MOL is the potential market value loss on a portfolio over a 10-day holding
period using historical data with start date anchored to January 1st, 2007.
VaR and MOL are supplemented with stress tests, which are performed to assess extreme tail events or shocks. The stress tests are designed
to highlight exposures to unlikely but plausible events or extremely volatile conditions, both hypothetically and historically.
Market Risk Management Architecture
The market risk function is independent of the front office and monitors all prudential limits governing trading activities and reports
exceptions to senior management.
Market Risk Management Control
Market risk of the Branch is primarily managed through establishing and monitoring limits. Investment policy and FX/derivatives policy of
the Branch (or BANA Mumbai) lists the applicable limits and approval processes.
Market Risk Management utilizes a suite of reports which assess risk on a daily basis. These reports are distributed to Senior Management on
daily basis. Limit excesses, limit changes (temporary, or permanent) are communicated to Senior Management, as well as to relevant forum
such as the LMT, Risk management Committee and the ALCO where applicable.

Market Risk Management Policies and Procedures
Market risk of the Branch is primarily managed through establishing and monitoring limits. Investment policy and FX/derivatives policy of
the Branch (or BANA Mumbai) lists the applicable limits and approval processes.
Market Risk Management utilizes a suite of reports which assess risk on a daily basis. These reports are distributed to Senior Management on
daily basis. Limit excesses, limit changes (temporary, or permanent) are communicated to Senior Management, as well as to relevant forum
such as the LMT, Risk management Committee and the ALCO where applicable.
The market risk capital requirement is expressed in terms of two separately calculated charges:
• General market risk charge from the interest rate risk in the portfolio in different securities or instruments.
• Specific risk charge for each security, which is designed to protect against an adverse movement in the price of an individual
security owing to factors related to the individual issuer.
For regulatory capital, the requirements for general market risk are designed to capture the risk of loss arising from changes in market
prices and interest rates. The capital charge is the sum of four components:
• the net short or long position in the whole trading book.
• a small proportion of the matched positions in each time-band - vertical disallowance.
• a larger proportion of the matched positions across different time bands - horizontal disallowance.
• a net charge for positions in options.
The general market risk charge is measured by using the modified duration method. Foreign exchange open positions are considered
at higher of limit or actual.

Table DF-8: Operational Risk


Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events.
Operational Risk Events: inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems and external events may result in unexpected or undesired
consequences including a financial loss, an unexpected gain, a near miss and/or an opportunity cost (lost future revenue). The events associated with
these unintended and/or undesired consequences are termed as operational risk events.
Operational Loss: an operational loss is the recorded financial consequence (excluding insurance reimbursements or tax effects) resulting from
an operational loss event, including all expenses associated with an operational loss event except for opportunity costs, foregone revenue, and
costs related to risk management and control enhancements implemented to prevent future operational losses. Operational loss events can also
result in unintended financial gains. BAC classifies operational losses using the Basel II categories and definitions: Internal Fraud; External Fraud;
Employment Practices and Workplace Safety; Clients, Products, and Business Practices; Damage to Physical Assets; Business Disruption and
System Failures; and Execution, Delivery, and Process Management.
BANA India manages the operational risks of its business activities using the enterprise-wide Operational Risk Framework.  Enterprise Operational
Risk policies, processes, tools, and standards are implemented by the Businesses/ECFs with Oversight from the Independent Business/ECF
Risk Teams (Regional Function). Each have a quality assurance role and through direct action or Oversight, these stakeholders are collectively
responsible for execution of the Operational Risk Program requirements, achievement of risk management objectives, and ensuring timely action
is taken in response to concerns and issues.
Governance of Operational Risk
Operational risk is managed by all employees as part of our day-to-day activities. Front line units and control functions own operational risk and are
responsible for monitoring, assessing and testing the effectiveness of controls, while continuing to identify, escalate, debate and report operational
risks. Front line units / control functions may have business Oversight or control teams that support business leaders in the implementation of the
program.
The Operational Risk management function at Bank of America (BAC) is independent of front line unit / control function, and is responsible for
designing the program and overseeing its implementation and execution in accordance with the Policy and its supporting Standards. Operational
Risk Teams are also responsible for objectively assessing, challenging and advising the front line units / control functions on operational risk;
Risk Management Process
BAC’s Operational Risk Management Program has been built around ten interrelated requirements that are set out in the Operational Risk
Management - Enterprise Policy, which also specifies the responsibilities and accountabilities of the first and second lines of defense. These
requirements work together to drive a comprehensive risk-based approach for the proactive identification, management, mitigation and escalation
of operational risks throughout the Company. These ten core requirements are:
1. Operational Risk Appetite.
2. Key Risk Indicators (KRIs)
3. Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA)
4. Scenario Analysis

People risk assessment:
Considering the business profile and activities of the bank, the risk that business objectives will not be met due to human resource deficiencies is
considered low. The bank has a strong focus on talent acquisition and succession planning as also on ensuring effective backups, which mitigates
the impact on business due to changes in key positions. The annualized turnover rate is ~5% and the capacity utilization (# Open positions/Total
headcount) is tracking at less than 4%, which indicates a good level of stability and very limited bandwidth constraints. The number of conduct
risk violations have been low and there has not been any history of internal frauds within the bank. There is a thrust on training and development
which also ensures staff awareness and understanding on key policies, laws and regulations related to information privacy and protection, anti-money
laundering, the risk framework, emergency preparedness, among others. Although there have been a few operational losses and near miss events
which can be attributed to People failures, the realized losses are very low and the number of incidents compared to the total volumes that are
processed is insignificant.
Technology risk assessment:
The bank is reliant on global systems that are time tested and robust and the risk that arises from systems and/or tools that are deficient, unstable
and/or overly complex is low. The client interface is automated to a large extent and the processing capabilities and reporting functionalities are
well established. The bank’s loss history is not significant and there haven’t been any over the last 3 years that are attributable to system failures.
While there have been challenges in implementing certain local regulatory mandates that include Payment data localization, NPA automation,
round the clock availability of NEFT/RTGS in a time bound manner, the bank has taken active measures to strive and achieve compliance with
these requirements. The above risks are covered within the overall Operational Risk Framework of the bank. Considering the above assessment, the
capital reserved for operational risk as summarized below is more than sufficient to cover for people, process, system failures.

Table DF-9: Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB)


I. Qualitative disclosures
Interest Rate Risk in Banking Book (IRRBB) refers to the potential adverse financial impact on the Bank’s net interest income from changes
in interest rates. Due to the fundamental nature of its business, the bank carries various interest sensitive assets and liabilities in its balance
sheet. This exposes the Bank to risk on from changes in interest rates. These assets and liabilities essentially reside in banking book. In other
words, IRRBB refers to risk associated with interest rate sensitive instruments that are not held in the trading book of the Bank. Interest rate
risk in the trading book is covered in the market risk section
Presently the Bank uses the following tools for managing interest rate risk:
Gap analysis: The interest rate gap or mismatch risk is measured by calculating gaps over different time intervals at a given date. This static
analysis measures mismatches between rate sensitive liabilities (“RSL”) and rate sensitive assets (“RSA”). The report is prepared monthly
by grouping rate sensitive liabilities, assets and off-balance sheet positions into time buckets according to residual maturity or next re-pricing
period, whichever is earlier. The difference between RSA and RSL for each time bucket signifies the gap in that time bucket. The direction of
the gap indicates whether net interest income is positively or negatively impacted by a change in interest rates and the magnitude of the gap
helps in assessing the change in net interest income for any given interest rate shift. The interest rate sensitivity/gap reports are reviewed by
the ALCO on a regular basis.
Earnings at risk (“EaR”): The interest rate gap reports mentioned above indicate whether the Bank is in a position to benefit from rising
interest rates by having a positive gap (RSA > RSL) or whether it is in a position to benefit from declining interest rates by having a negative
gap (RSL > RSA). EaR measures the change in NII over a one year time horizon for various levels of parallel shift in interest rates.
Economic value: Change in the interest rates have a long-term impact on the capital position of the Bank, as the economic value of the
Bank’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions get affected by these rate changes. The Bank applies a modified duration approach
and monitors impact of various levels of parallel shift in interest rate curves on the capital position. The interest rate sensitivity/gap reports
are reviewed by the ALCO on a regular basis.

Table DF-10: General Disclosure for Exposures Related to Counterparty Credit Risk
I. Qualitative disclosures
Discussion of methodology used to assign economic capital and credit limits for counterparty credit exposures
A credit approval document is used to analyze the counterparty’s creditworthiness, document transaction structure and risk mitigation,
and approve the Traded Products limit(s). Specific requests, including limit structure and attributes is also included in the credit approval
document. BANA India adopts standardized model which does not calculate economic capital for counterparty credit exposures.
Discussion of policies for securing collateral and establishing credit reserve
Collateralization is one of the key credit risk mitigation techniques available in the market. The term “Collateral” means assets pledged
as security to ensure payment or performance of an obligation. When facing derivative counterparties, BAC enters into master netting
arrangements and, in appropriate circumstances, collateral arrangements which provide in the event of a customer default, the right to
liquidate collateral and the right to offset counterparty’s rights and obligations. BAC also monitors the fair market value of the underlying
securities used as collateral, including accrued interest, and, as necessary, requests additional collateral to ensure that the relevant transactions
are adequately collateralized. BANA India makes appropriate provisions for credit risk as per regulatory guidelines.
Discussion of policies with respect to wrong-way risk exposures
Transactions that include significant positive correlation between the performance of the counterparty and the exposure profile of the
underlying product are called Wrong Way Risk (“WWR”) trades. The BAC Wrong Way Risk Policy outlines the characteristics of WWR
trades, and describes the approval escalation requirements and associated monitoring and reporting of WWR exposure.
Discussion of the impact of the collateral the bank would have to provide given a credit rating downgrade
As per local contractual agreements, BANA India is not required to post any collateral given a credit rating downgrade.
