Limited Review Report on unaudited standalone financial results of The Federal Bank Limited for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December, 2020, pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015
Review Report to
The Board of Directors,
The Federal Bank Limited
1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Standalone Financial Results of The Federal Bank Limited ('the Bank') for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December, 2020 ('the Statement') attached herewith, being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015 (as amended), except for the disclosures relating to Pillar 3 disclosure under Basel III Capital Regulations, as at 31st December, 2020, including Leverage Ratio and Liquidity Coverage Ratio as have been disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in the aforesaid Statement, which have not been reviewed by us.
2. The Statement is the responsibility of the Bank's Management and has been approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. The Statement has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Accounting Standard -25 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('AS-25'), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, the relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the circulars, guidelines and directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India (the 'RBI') from time to time (the 'RBI Guidelines'), SEBI circular CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5th July, 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the 'SEBI Circular'), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.
3. We conducted our review of the statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
4. Our review primarily is conducted on the basis of review of the books of account and records of the Bank. We have also relied on the information and explanations furnished to us by the Bank and the returns as considered necessary by us for the review.
5. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Standalone Financial Results prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the RBI Guidelines, the SEBI circular and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (as amended) including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement or that it has not been prepared in accordance with the relevant prudential norms issued by the Reserve Bank of India in respect of income recognition, asset classification, provisioning and other related matters.
6. We draw attention to Note No.10 of the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Standalone Financial results, regarding the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, and adjustments made in the accounts for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December, 2020 on account of the same. As stated therein, in view of continuing uncertainties, the extent of impact of the pandemic on the Bank's operations and financial position would depend on various aspects, including actions taken to mitigate its impact and other regulatory measures.
Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of this matter.
7. The review of unaudited quarterly and nine month financial results for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December 2019 and audit of financial results for the year ended 31st March 2020 included in the Statement were carried out and reported by predecessor auditors who have expressed unmodified conclusion vide review reports dated 20th January, 2020 for the period ended 31st December, 2019 and unmodified opinion vide audit report dated 28th May, 2020, whose reports have been furnished to us and which have been relied upon by us for the purpose of our review of the Statement.
Our conclusion on the Statement is not modified in respect of this matter.

Notes: | |||||||
1 | The above Standalone Unaudited Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2020 were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on January 20, 2021. These Results have been subjected to "Limited review" by the Statutory Central Auditors of the Bank and an unqualified review report has been issued. | ||||||
2 | The Bank has followed the same significant accounting policies in the preparation of the interim financial results as those followed in the annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020. | ||||||
3 | Pursuant to Board approved policy on preparation of segment information, the Bank, with effect from quarter ended June 30, 2020, has revised the basis of preparation of segment information on a direct identification basis with the aid of Internal Transfer pricing mechanism for more appropriate presentation of the segment results. Accordingly, figures for the previous periods have been regrouped / reclassified to conform to current period's classification. The change in segment information has no impact on the overall Revenue, Results, and Capital employed of the bank for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2020 or the previous periods/year. | ||||||
4 | The working results have been arrived at after considering provision for standard assets, including requirements for exposures to entities with Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposures, non-performing assets (NPAs), depreciation on investments, income-tax and other usual and necessary provisions. | ||||||
5 | Other income includes fees earned from providing services to customers, commission from non-fund-based banking activities, earnings from foreign exchange and derivative transactions, selling of third-party products, profit on sale of investments (net), recoveries from advances written off etc. | ||||||
6 | The Capital Adequacy Ratio is computed on the basis of RBI guidelines applicable on the relevant reporting dates and the ratio for the corresponding previous period is not adjusted to consider the impact of subsequent changes if any, in the guidelines. | ||||||
7 | The Business operations of the Bank are largely concentrated in India and for the purpose of Segment reporting, the bank is considered to operate only in domestic segment, though the bank has its operations in International Finance Service Centre (IFSC) Banking Unit in Gujarat International Finance Tec-city (GIFT). The business conducted from the same is considered as part of Indian operations. | ||||||
8 | During the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Bank has allotted 1,180,276 and 3,190,661 equity shares of ` 2 each, pursuant to the exercise of stock options by employees. | ||||||
9 | In accordance with RBI Circular DBR.No.BP.BC.1/21.06.201/2015-16 on Basel III Capital Regulations dated July 01, 2015 and RBI Circular DBR.No.BP.BC.80/21.06.201/2014-15 dated March 31, 2015 - 'Prudential Guidelines on Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Standards - Amendments', Banks are required to make Pillar 3 disclosure requirements including Leverage Ratio disclosure requirements that are to be made along with the publication of Financial Results. Accordingly, such applicable disclosures have been placed on the website of the Bank which can be accessed at the following link: http://www.federalbank.co.in/regulatory-disclosures. These disclosures have not been subjected to audit or review by the Statutory Central Auditors of the Bank. | ||||||
10 | On account of uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic across the world and in India, the extent to which the same will impact the Bank's operations and financial position will depend on various aspects including actions taken to mitigate its impact and other regulatory measures. The Bank's capital and liquidity position is strong and would continue to be the focus area for the Bank during this period.As per the 'COVID-19 Regulatory Packages' announced by the RBI ('the RBI guidelines'), with regard to providing relief to borrowers' on account of COVID-19 pandemic, whose accounts were standard as on February 29, 2020, the Bank, in accordance with the Board approved policy had offered moratorium on repayment of loan instalments and/or deferment of interest due between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020, including relaxation in certain parameters, to all eligible borrowers, without considering the same as restructuring.The Bank held a provision of ` 58,791.00 Lakhs as on September 30, 2020 against the likely impact of COVID-19, including the RBI mandated provision. During the current quarter, the bank has utilized ` 5,122.00 Lakhs from the above provision for creation of RBI mandated provision for advances restructured under "Resolution framework for COVID-19 related stress". Hence, the aggregate provision against the likely impact of COVID-19, including the RBI mandated provision, stands at ` 53,669.00 Lakhs as on December 31, 2020 and is grouped under 'Other liabilities and provisions' in the Balance sheet of the Bank.The Honourable Supreme Court in a writ petition by Gajendra Sharma Vs Union of India & Anr vide its interim order dated September 3, 2020 has directed Banks that the accounts which were not declared Non performing asset (NPA) till August 31, 2020 shall not be declared NPA till further orders, pending disposal of the case by Supreme Court. Pursuant to the order, the Bank has not declared any account as NPA, which was not declared as NPA till August 31, 2020 as per the RBI Prudential norms on Income Recognition, Asset classification, and provisioning pertaining to advances. The Bank holds sufficient provisions in respect of these advances and as a prudent measure, the Bank has not recognized the unrealized interest on these accounts as income. | ||||||
11 | The figures for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and year ended March 31, 2020 were reviewed / audited by previous statutory auditors. | ||||||
12 | Previous period's / year's figures have been regrouped / reclassified, where necessary to conform to current period's classification. | ||||||

Review Report to
The Board of Directors,
The Federal Bank Limited
8. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of The Federal Bank Limited (the 'Bank') and its Subsidiaries (the Bank and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group') and its share of the net profit/loss after tax of its Associates for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December 2020 (the 'Statement'), attached herewith, 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 consolidated Pillar 3 disclosure, as at 31st December 2020, 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 aforesaid Statement, which have not been reviewed by us.
9. The Statement is the responsibility of the Bank's Management and has been approved by the Bank's Board of Directors. The Statement has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Accounting Standard -25 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('AS-25'), prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, the relevant provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the circulars, guidelines and directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India (the 'RBI') from time to time (the 'RBI Guidelines'), SEBI circular CIR/CFD/FAC/62/2016 dated 5th July, 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the 'SEBI Circular'), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.
10. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.
11. Our review primarily is conducted on the basis of review of the books of account and records of the Bank. We have also relied on the information and explanations furnished to us by the Bank and the returns as considered necessary by us for the review.
12. This Statement includes the results of the following entities:
a. Fedbank Financial Services Limited (Subsidiary)
b. Federal Operations and Services Limited (Subsidiary)
c. IDBI Federal Life Insurance Company Limited (Associate)

11 | On account of uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic across the world and in India, the extent to which the same will impact the Bank's operations and financial position will depend on various aspects including actions taken to mitigate its impact and other regulatory measures. The Bank's capital and liquidity position is strong and would continue to be the focus area for the Bank during this period.As per the 'COVID-19 Regulatory Packages' announced by the RBI ('the RBI guidelines'), with regard to providing relief to borrowers' on account of COVID-19 pandemic, whose accounts were standard as on February 29, 2020, the Bank, in accordance with the Board approved policy had offered moratorium on repayment of loan instalments and/or deferment of interest due between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020, including relaxation in certain parameters, to all eligible borrowers, without considering the same as restructuring.The Bank held a provision of ` 58,791.00 Lakhs as on September 30, 2020 against the likely impact of COVID-19, including the RBI mandated provision. During the current quarter, the bank has utilized ` 5,122.00 Lakhs from the above provision for creation of RBI mandated provision for advances restructured under "Resolution framework for COVID-19 related stress". Hence, the aggregate provision against the likely impact of COVID-19, including the RBI mandated provision, stands at ` 53,669.00 Lakhs as on December 31, 2020 and is grouped under 'Other liabilities and provisions' in the Balance sheet of the Bank.The Honourable Supreme Court in a writ petition by Gajendra Sharma Vs Union of India & Anr vide its interim order dated September 3, 2020 has directed Banks that the accounts which were not declared Non performing asset (NPA) till August 31, 2020 shall not be declared NPA till further orders, pending disposal of the case by Supreme Court.
