INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
T B D IDFC FIRST B L
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Annual Financial Results
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone annual financial results of IDFC FIRST Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year ended 31 March 2021, attached herewith, (the "standalone financial results"), being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended ('Listing Regulations'), except for the disclosures relating to Pillar 3 disclosure as at 31 March 2021, including leverage ratio and liquidity coverage ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations as have been disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in the standalone financial results and have not been audited by us.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone annual financial results:
- (i) are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard except for the disclosures relating to Pillar 3 disclosure as at 31 March 2021, including leverage ratio and liquidity coverage ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations as have been disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in the standalone financial results and have not been audited by us; and
- (ii) give a true and fair view, in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and the circulars and guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India ('RBI') from time to time, of the net profit and other financial information for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Annual Financial Results 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 Standalone annual financial results.
Emphasis of Matter
As more fully described in Note 9 to the standalone financial results, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will have 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (continued) IDFC FIRST Bank Limited
Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Standalone Annual Financial Results
These standalone annual financial results have been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Bank's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of these standalone financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, the relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the circulars, guidelines and directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time ("RBI Guidelines") and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. 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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone annual financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone annual financial results, the Management and the Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Bank's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Annual Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone annual financial results 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 standalone annual financial results.
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 standalone annual financial results, 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 through a separate report on the complete set of financial statements on whether the Bank has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (continued) IDFC FIRST Bank Limited
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Annual Financial Results (continued)
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures in the standalone financial results made by the Management and Board of Directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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 appropriateness of this assumption. 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 standalone annual financial results 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 standalone annual financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone annual financial results 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.
Other Matter
The standalone annual financial results include the results for the quarter ended 31 March 2021 being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year which were subject to limited review by us.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (continued)
IDFC FIRST Bank Limited
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 Consolidated Annual Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 obtained by us along with the consideration of audit reports of the other auditor referred to in sub paragraph (a) of the "Other Matters" paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated annual financial results.
Emphasis of Matter Paragraph
As more fully described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial results, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will have 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Annual Financial Results
These consolidated annual financial results have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Bank's Management and the Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated annual financial results that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and other financial information of the Group including its associate in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, the circulars, guidelines and directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time ("RBI Guidelines") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group 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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated annual financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated annual financial results by the Management and the Directors of the Bank, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated annual financial results, the Management and the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its associate to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associate.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (continued)
IDFC FIRST Bank Limited
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual financial results 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 consolidated annual financial results.
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 consolidated annual financial results, 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 through a separate report on the complete set of financial statements on whether the Bank has adequate internal financial controls with reference to 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 in the consolidated financial results made by the Management and Board of Directors.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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 appropriateness of this assumption. 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 consolidated annual financial results 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 Group and its associate to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated annual financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated annual financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results of the entities within the Group and its associate to express an opinion on the consolidated annual financial results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial results, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in section titled "Other Matters" in this audit report.
- We communicate with those charged with governance of the Bank and such other entities included in the consolidated annual financial results of which we are the independent auditors 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.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (continued)
IDFC FIRST Bank Limited
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Financial Results (Continued)
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.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular No CIR/CFD/CMD1/44/2019 issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.
Other Matters
We did not audit the financial statements of one subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 29,934 lakhs as at 31 March 2021, total revenues of Rs. 46,376 lakhs and net cash flows amounting to Rs. 11,070 lakhs for the year ended on that date as considered in the consolidated financial results. These financial statements have been audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial results, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the one subsidiary is based solely on the audit report of the other auditor.
The consolidated financial results also include the Group's share of net loss of Rs. NIL for the year ended 31 March 2021, as considered in the consolidated financial results, in respect of one associate, whose financial statements have not been audited by us or by other auditors. These unaudited financial statements have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial results, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this associate, is based solely on such unaudited financial statements. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, these financial statements are not material to the Group.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial results is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the report of the other auditor and the financial statements certified by the Management.
The consolidated annual financial results include the results for the quarter ended 31 March 2021 being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year which were subject to limited review by us.

DETAILED NOTE ON BUSINESS & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE BANK
Earnings
- Profit After Tax: The Profit after Tax for Q4 FY21 was at Rs. 128 crore, recording a growth of 79% as compared to Rs. 72 crore in Q4 FY20. The Profit after Tax for the year ended March 31, 2021, is reported at Rs. 452 crore.
- Net Interest Income (NII): Net Interest Income (NII) grew by 15% Y-o-Y to Rs. 1,960 crore, up from Rs. 1,700 crore in Q4 FY20. The sequential Q-o-Q NII grew by 4%.
- o The above accounts for Interest on Interest provision of Rs. 55 crore in Q4 FY21.
- o Interest income from the loans originated through business correspondents (BCs), were earlier being booked net of the origination and servicing expense incurred by BCs. Effective Q4 FY21, such income is now booked on a gross basis, and the origination and servicing expenses pertaining to this book is included in the operating expense line of the Bank. For fair comparison purposes, the previous period interest income, opex figures, and the resulting NIM% have been reinstated.
- Net Interest Margin (NIM%) (quarterly annualized): NIM% rose to 5.09% in Q4 FY21 from 4.61% in Q4 FY20 and 5.04% in Q3 FY21. This accounts for interest on interest provision of Rs. 55 crore in Q4 FY21, excluding which the NIM% for Q4 FY21 would have been higher by about 15 bps on a normalized basis.
- Fee and Other Income (without trading gains) increased 39% to Rs. 600 crore in Q4 FY21 as compared to Rs. 432 crore in Q4-FY20. Similarly, the Fee Income has grown by 3% sequentially QoQ.
- Total Income (net of Interest Expense) grew 14% at Rs. 2,801 crore for Q4-FY21 as compared to Rs. 2,451 crore for Q4-FY20.
- Provisions: The provision for Q4 FY21 was at Rs. 603 crore as compared to Rs. 679 crore for Q4 FY20 and as compared to Rs. 595 crore in Q3 FY21. In Q4 FY21, the Bank released Rs. 324 crores from provisions made for one Telecom Account based on mark to market value of the instruments and made additional provisions of Rs. 375 crore for COVID-19 which is carried forward to the next financial year for the unprecedented situation arising due to COVID-19 second wave in India. Earlier, erstwhile Capital First had portfolios like loan against shares with ticket sizes above Rs. 20 lac and loans with annual interest payments, which were allowed for NBFCs but are not allowed for a Bank. On merger with the Bank, dispensation was provided by the RBI for the said portfolio which is no longer available, due to which the Bank had to make 100% provision on these loans amounting to Rs. 89 crore in Q4-FY21.
Without the impact of interest on interest provision of Rs. 55 crore and additional provisioning impact of Rs. 89 crore on non-availability of dispensation on the said portfolio, the revised Profit before Tax of the Bank would have been Rs. 188 crore in Q4-FY21 and PAT for the quarter Q4-FY21 would be Rs. 140 crore considering the normalized tax rate.

Capital and Liquidity Position
- Capital Adequacy of the Bank was strong at 16.32% with CET-1 Ratio at 15.62% including equity capital raised through QIP on April 6, 2021, as compared to regulatory requirement for the Capital Adequacy Ratio of 10.875% and for CET-1 Ratio of 7.375%. Excluding this additional equity raised of Rs. 3,000 crore on April 6, 2021, the capital adequacy as of March 31 is reported at 13.77% with CET-1 Ratio of 13.27%.
- Average LCR was at 153% for the quarter ending on March 31, 2021.
Mr. V Vaidyanathan, Managing Director and CEO, IDFC FIRST Bank, said, "Including the equity capital of Rs. 3000 crore raised through QIP on April 6, 2021, our overall capital adequacy is strong at 16.32%. We maintain high levels of liquidity with liquidity coverage ratio of 153%. We therefore approach FY 22 with strength and confidence.
Strong inflows from retail customers based on our strong brand, our excellent service levels, and strong product proposition has resulted in surplus liquidity at the bank. Our CASA grew 122% last year and we reached a record CASA ratio of 51.75%. We have therefore reduced our savings rates to as low as 4% and peak savings rates to 5%, effective May 1.
This reduction of savings rates to market benchmarks is a seminal moment in our journey as a Bank, as we will now be able to participate in the Prime Home loans market, which is largely to employees of top Corporates. The Bank has started offering prime Home loans at as low as 6.9%. This will set the Bank up for perennial growth with even better asset quality going forward.
Our home loan book grew strongly at 37% during FY21. Home loans is a large Rs. 25 lac crore market in India and home loans will continue to be our key business line going forward as well.
When COVID 1.0 struck in March 2020, we made necessary changes by restricting lending to COVID affected industries and by tightening credit norms accordingly. Thus the loans booked after June 2020 already factor in the COVID impact, and are in fact behaving better than pre-COVID bookings, adjusted for like-to-like vintage.
On the collections front, we're happy to report that our collection efficiency for early buckets in March '21 reached 100% of pre-Covid (Jan- Feb 2020) levels. We will closely watch the impact of COVID second wave and deal with the situation accordingly. Our bounce back of collections to 100% when economic activity revived in H2 2021 demonstrates that our underlying portfolio quality is high and when the economy revives, customers do start repaying well again.
With accelerated digital initiatives, new product launches including credit cards, and significant investment in creating superior customer experience, the Bank is now on a strong footing to participate in the emerging opportunities of FY22."

Section 1: The Founding of IDFC FIRST Bank..
IDFC FIRST Bank was founded by the merger of Erstwhile IDFC Bank and Erstwhile Capital First on December 18, 2018.
Erstwhile IDFC BANK
IDFC Limited was set up in 1997 to finance infrastructure focusing primarily on project finance and mobilization of capital for private sector infrastructure development. Whether it is financial intermediation for infrastructure projects and services, whether adding value through innovative products to the infrastructure value chain or asset maintenance of existing infrastructure projects, the company focused on supporting companies to get the best return on investments. The Company's ability to tap global as well as Indian financial resources made it the acknowledged experts in infrastructure finance.
Dr. Rajiv Lall joined the company in 2005 and successfully expanded the business to Asset Management, Institutional Broking and Infrastructure Debt Fund. He applied for a commercial banking license to the RBI in 2013. In 2014, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) granted an in-principle approval to IDFC Limited to set up a new bank in the private sector.
Following this, the IDFC Limited divested its infrastructure finance assets and liabilities to a new entity - IDFC Bank- through demerger. Thus IDFC Bank was created by demerger of the infrastructure lending business of IDFC to IDFC Bank in 2015.
Erstwhile CAPITAL FIRST LIMITED
Mr Vaidyanathan who had built ICICI Bank's Retail Banking business from 2000-2009 and was then the MD and CEO of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company in 2009-10, started an entrepreneurial foray to acquire a stake in an existing NBFC with the stated plan to convert the NBFC to a commercial bank focused on financing small businesses.
During 2010-12, he acquired a significant stake in a real-estate financing NBFC through personal leverage, and launched businesses of financing small entrepreneurs and consumers. The NBFC wound down existing businesses and instead started businesses of financing such segments within consumer and micro-entrepreneurs that not financed by existing banks, by using alternative and advanced technology led models.
He built a prototype for such financing (Rs 12000-Rs. 30,000, ~$300- $500), built a loan book of Rs. 770 crore ($130m, March 2011) within a year, and presented the proof of concept to many global private equity players for a Leveraged Management Buyout.
In 2012, he concluded India's largest Leveraged Management Buyout, got fresh equity of Rs. 100 crore into the company and founded Capital First as a new entity with new shareholders, new Board, new business lines, and fresh equity infusion. Contd.. Contd..

Erstwhile IDFC BANK
Continued from page 11
The bank was launched through this demerger from IDFC Limited in November 2015. During the subsequent three years, the bank developed a strong and robust framework including strong IT capabilities for scaling up the banking operations.
The Bank designed efficient treasury management system for its own proprietary trading, as well as for managing client operations. The bank started building Corporate banking businesses. Recognizing the change in the Indian landscape, emerging risk in infrastructure financing, and the low margins in corporate banking, the bank launched retail business for assets and liabilities and put together a strategy to retailize its loan book to diversify and to increase margins.
Since retail required specialized skills, seasoning, and scale, the Bank was looking for inorganic opportunities for merger with a retail lending partner who already had scale, profitability and specialized skills.
As part of its strategy to diversify its loan book from infrastructure, the bank was looking for a merger with a retail finance institution with adequate scale, profitability and specialized skills.

Section 1: The Founding of IDFC FIRST Bank..
In January 2018, Erstwhile IDFC Bank and Erstwhile Capital First announced a merger. Shareholders of Erstwhile Capital First were to be issued 13.9 shares of the merged entity for every 1 share of Erstwhile Capital First. Thus, IDFC FIRST Bank was founded as a new entity by the merger of Erstwhile IDFC Bank and Erstwhile Capital First on December 18 2018.

- The bank restricted loan growth for two years in order to strengthen the liabilities franchise (CASA 8.7% at merger) first.
- Between 2018-2020 the Bank also accounted for legacy Infrastructure and Corporate loans that turned bad post-merger, which resulted in reduction of net worth, and thus the Book Value per share reduced from Rs. 38.4 on December 31, 2018 to Rs. 31.90 on March 31, 2020.
- The COVID 19 crisis struck the system in March April 2020.
- Because the Bank had successfully raised large quantities of retail CASA deposits prior to COVID19 and had replaced Certificate of Deposits and bulk Corporate Deposits prior to the crisis, the Bank comfortably sailed through the COVID crisis on liquidity.
- Further, the Bank also successfully raised fresh equity of Rs. 2000 crores to strengthen the balance sheet in June 2020.
- The Bank now has a strong retail and CASA deposits franchise (CASA 51.75% as of March 2021) and looks forward for to steady growth from here on.

- Thus far, the bank has specialised in providing loans in the affordable segment, where yields have been between 8 to 9%. Our asset quality has been high and experience in the segment has been excellent.
- Based on the strong inflow on retail liabilities into the Bank and surplus liquidity, the Bank has reduced the Savings Rate to 4% for balance below Rs. 1 lac and reduced the peak savings account interest rate to 5%.
- Consequent to the rate reduction of savings accounts, the Bank can now afford to participate in the prime segments of all businesses including the prime home loans to employees of top corporates at a very competitive interest rate starting at 6.9%, in line with market for this segment.
- This will open up a new and large market with higher asset quality for our Bank and set up the Bank for continuous and sustainable book growth as home loans have comparative longer tenure up to 20 years.

Section 4: Assets Quality 39
Section 4: The asset quality trends over the last 8 years at Capital First is displayed below as a demonstration of our trend in asset quality and our capabilities in this space.
Since most of the loan book in the merged entity has been built and seasoned in Capital First prior the merger and the same model is being scaled up now, we present below the asset quality trends of the book in Capital First which have stayed steady over the years, i.e. Gross NPA ~2% and Net NPA ~1%. The portfolio remained stable even after being stress tested through economic slowdown in 2010-2014, demonetization (2016), GST implementation (2017) and economic slowdown in recent times. Hence gives us confidence to grow in future on this strong asset quality model.
Note: NPA recognition norm migrated to 90 dpd effective from 01 April, 2017.
Section 4: Assets Quality
Section 4: Retail Loans - Gross and Net NPA
- In the Pre-Covid time, the Bank was sustainably maintaining the Gross NPA and Net NPA level of the Retail Loan Book around 2.3% and 1.1% respectively. Due to the Covid-19 impact and the subsequent lockdown and moratorium which ended by August 2020, the GNPA and NNPA of the Bank in Retail Loans increased by 175 bps and 77 bps respectively as compared to Pre-Covid average level. This magnitude of increase in NPA levels in considered normal in the context of COVID-19 impact on the banking system.
- The Cheque/ECS/NACH bounce trend over the months has improved since July 2020 and the Bank is confident of getting back to pre-Covid level of GNPA and NNPA in due course, as and when the economy revives to normalcy.
Section 4: Continuous improvement in Retail Loan Underwriting over the years
- The first step in disbursing retail loans is credit policy and underwriting. Even prior to arrival of Covid-19, the bank has been continuously improving its credit underwriting based on experience by tightening its underwriting policy filters.
- This has resulted in increased percentage of customers who have credit track record on the credit bureau. In Q4 FY19, 83% of loan bookings done by the bank (by value) had a credit bureau record, and 17% were new to credit customers. As a result of continuous improvement in underwriting, in Q4 FY21, only 10% customers disbursed are new to credit customers.
Retail Loan Disbursal: Customers (by Value) with Credit Bureau Record as % of total Retail Disbursals
Retail Loan Disbursals: Customers (by Value) with Credit Bureau Score of more than 700 as % of total Retail
Section 4: Incremental controls implemented in the light of COVID-19
- Further, in the light of the Covid-19, the bank has implemented a number of new measures to restrict lending to sectors affected by the pandemic. All new bookings that have been done post-pandemic already factors for pandemic related restrictions for lending to sectors and segments affected by COVID-19. Examples of such initiatives include –
- i. Implemented sector restrictions for underwriting in the COVID-19 affected sectors
- ii. Reduction of Authority Limits for Credit Appraisals
- iii. Implemented additional caps on individual ticket sizes on incremental loans
- iv. Reduced the LTV limits in certain categories
- v. Revised restrictions on collaterals
- vi. Revised criteria for bureau score cut-offs and tightened the criteria for number of credit enquiries on the bureau
- vii. Increased requirement for FOIR (Fixed Obligations to Income Ratio to estimate the customer's ability to repay monthly instalments)
- viii. Increased checking whether the customer has availed moratorium, also subsequent track record
- ix. Increased average balance requirements for our average Bank Balance based lending program
- x. Revised preapproved prequalified program with increased scrutiny;
- Consequent to these new criteria and restrictions implemented in the light of Covid-19, the new bookings done post-July 2020 are showing significantly better credit performance (adjusted for like-to-like vintage) as compared to pre-pandemic loan bookings, as these new loan bookings post July 2020 already factor for Covid-19 impacted industries.
- During COVID wave 1, the cheques/ECSs/NACHs bounce increased to 2.5X from the Pre-COVID bounce levels, but when economic revival happened between September 20 to March 21, cheque returns have been dropping consistently and reached to 1.2X of Pre-Covid level in March 2021.
- Collection Efficiency for the Bank has improved every month since July 2020 and in March 2021, the collection efficiency has reached 100% of the Pre-COVID collection efficiency levels.

Section 5: Board of Directors
With over two decades in financial services in India, V. Vaidyanathan has seen India through many lens – first as a banker (1990-2010, Citibank), then as an entrepreneur (2010-2019, Capital First) and a professional banker again (2019- date, after merging Capital First with IDFC Bank). He worked with Citibank Consumer Banking from 1990-2000, then set up ICICI Group's retail banking from 2000-2009 since its inception, built ICICI Bank's branch network to 1411 branches and 28 million customers, built a large CASA and retail deposits franchise, and built the retail lending businesses including mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and personal credit businesses to Rs. 1.35 trillion ($30 bn). He was appointed at the Board of ICICI Bank in 2006 at age 38. In 2009, he became the MD and CEO of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company in India.
In 2010, he quit ICICI Group for an entrepreneurial opportunity to acquire an NBFC with an idea to convert it to a bank focused on consumer and MSME lending. On acquiring equity stake, he shut down all non-core businesses like broking and real estate financing, and instead used the NBFC platform to build MSME and Consumer Financing businesses, based on new technologies and algorithms. Between 2010 to 2018, he grew the loan book from startup stage to Rs. 29,600 crores (US$4.05 bn), grew the equity capital from Rs. 691 crores (US$118 mn) to Rs. 3,993 crores (US$600 mn), reduced Gross NPA from 5.28% to 1.94%, reduced Net NPA from 3.6% to 1%, acquired 7 million customers, got the long-term credit rating upgraded from A+ to AAA, turned around the company from losses of US$5 mn (2010) to profit of US$50 mn (2018), increased ROE from -6% to +15%, and increased the market cap 10 times from Rs. 780 crores (US$120 mn) to Rs. 8,200 crores (US$1.2 bn) in 8 years. Capital First was growing at a 5-year CAGR of loan growth of 30%, and 55% in PAT between 2013-2018.
Then, in order to secure a commercial banking license, he agreed to merge Capital First with IDFC Bank in December 2018 and took over as the MD and CEO of the merged entity. Since then, between December 2018 to March 2021, he has increased retail loan book from 13.16% pre-merger to 62.89% (Rs. 73,673 crores) of the total funded assets, increased Net Interest margin from 1.84% pre-merger to 5.09%, increased CASA from 8.68% to 51.75%, turned the bank into profitability, and is currently busy converting the bank into a world-class retail bank in India. The bank now has over 10 million customers and loan book of more than Rs. 1 lac crores (~US$14 bn). He believes India provides unlimited opportunity in financial services in India.

• Growth of Assets:
- The Bank plans to grow retail loan assets from Rs. 36,236 crore (December 31, 2018) to over Rs. 100,000 crore in the next 5 years
- The Bank plans to wind down loans to infrastructure to NIL within five years ( Rs. 22,710 as of 31 December 2018).
- The Bank plans to reduce the total Wholesale loan assets (including the Infrastructure Loans) from Rs. 56,809 crore (December 31, 2018) to Rs. 40,000 crore by March 2020 in order to rebalance and diversify the overall Loan Book. Thereafter, the Bank plans to maintain it at the similar levels for the next 5 years and would grow the business based on opportunities available at the marketplace.
- Diversification of Assets: We recognize that loan book of the bank needs to be well diversified across sectors and a large number of consumers. The Bank plans to increase the retail book composition from 34.62% to 70% within 5 years and set the target to take it to 80% thereon.
- Gross Yield Expansion: As a result of the growth of the retail loan (at a relatively higher yield compared to the wholesale loans), the gross yield of the Bank's Loan Book was initially guided to increase from 9.4% (as per Q2-FY19, pre-merger) to more than 12% in the next 5 years, however we now upgrade our guidance and project the yield to be at 13.5% in the next 5 years. The bank will expand Housing loan portfolio as one of its important product lines.
Section 6: Liability Strategy for IDFC FIRST Bank as guided at the time of merger in December 2018.
- CASA Growth: This is a key focus and growth area for the bank. We plan to increase the CASA Ratio from 8.68% as of December 31, 2018 on a continuous basis year on year and strive to reach 30% CASA ratio within 5 years, and increase it to 40-50% from there on. An array of digital savings & current accounts are planned to be offered to the customer base (more than 7 million customers) of Erstwhile Capital First.
- Diversification of Liabilities: We will focus on Retail CASA and Retail Term Deposits in order to diversify the liabilities of the bank. As a percentage of the total borrowings, the Retail Term Deposits and Retail CASA is proposed to increase from 8.04% as of December 31, 2018, to over 50% in the next 5 years and set up a trajectory to reach 75% thereafter.
- Branch Expansion: In order to grow Retail Deposits and CASA, the bank plans to set up 600-700 more bank branches in the next 5 years from the branch count of 206 (as of 31 Dec 2018). This would be suitably supported by the attractive product propositions and other associated services as well as cross selling opportunities.
`
Section 6: Profitability Goals for IDFC FIRST Bank as guided at the time of merger in December 2018.
- Net Interest Margin: The bank plans to expand the NIM to about 5.0% 5.5% in the next 5 years based on better cost of funds and carefully selecting the product segments where we have strong proven capabilities over the years.
- Asset Quality: Over 90% of the Retail Loan Book of the bank constitutes of loan book brought from erstwhile Capital First. The book is seasoned over 8 years across business and loan cycles and has had stable performance throughout, and has been adequately stress tested across significant events such as high interest rate cycle (2010-2014), high inflation rate cycle (2010- 2014), Demonetization (2016, where over 86% of the cash of the country was withdrawn overnight), GST implementation (2017, which changed the business environment and methods for MSMEs) and yet asset quality remained high over the period.
- Cost to Income: The Bank plans to improve Cost to Income ratio to ~50-55% over the next 5 years, down from ~80% (post merger results, Quarter ended December 31, 2018)
- ROA and ROE: With the improvement in the NIM and cost to income ratio, the bank aims to reach the following benchmarks in the next 5-6 years.
- ROA of 1.4%-1.6%
- ROE of 13%-15%
