INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON

REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

THE FEDERAL BANK LIMITED

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results of THE FEDERAL BANK LIMITED ("the Bank") for the Quarter and Nine Months ended 31st December, 2015 ("the Statement"), excluding the "Pillar 3 disclosures and leverage ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations" disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in the Statement, being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This Statement which is the responsibility of the Bank's Management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Accounting Standard for Interim Financial Reporting (AS 25), prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with relevant rules issued thereunder, guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.

2. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (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 Bank 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.

3. In the conduct of our review, 111 branches have been reviewed by either of us which covers 56 percent of the advances portfolio of the bank as at 31st December, 2015. We have also relied upon various returns received from the branches of the bank.

4. Based on our review conducted as stated above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the aforesaid Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, 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 relevant prudential norms prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India in respect of income recognition, asset classification, provisioning and other related matters.
