You should read this prospectus supplement along with the
prospectus that follows. Both documents contain information you

rely on the information contained in or incorporated by
reference into this prospectus supplement and the attached
prospectus. We have not, and the underwriters have not,
authorized any other person to provide you with different
information. If anyone does provide you with different or
inconsistent information, you may not rely on it. We are not,
and the underwriters are not, making an offer to sell these
securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not
permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in
this prospectus supplement and the attached prospectus is
accurate only as of the date on the bottom of the front cover of
this prospectus supplement. Our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects may have changed since that
date.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement contains the terms for this offering
of American Depositary Shares. This prospectus supplement, or
the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement, may add, update or change information in the
attached prospectus. If information in this prospectus
supplement, or the information incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, is inconsistent with the information in
the accompanying prospectus, then the information in this
prospectus supplement, or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement, will apply and will supersede that
information in, or incorporated by reference into, the
accompanying prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not defined
in this prospectus supplement have the meanings given to those
terms in the accompanying prospectus.
It is important for you to read and consider all information
contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus in making your investment decision. You should also
read and consider the information in the documents we have
referred you to under Where You Can Find More Information
About Us in the attached prospectus.
Pursuant to the issuance and listing of our securities in the
United States under registration statements filed with the
United States Securities Exchange Commission, we file annual
reports on Form 20-F which must include financial statements
prepared under generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (US GAAP) or financial statements prepared
according to a comprehensive body of accounting principles with
a reconciliation of net income and stockholders equity to
US GAAP. When we first listed our securities in the United
States, Indian GAAP was not considered a comprehensive body of
accounting principles under US securities laws and regulations.
Accordingly, our annual reports on Form 20-F for fiscal years
2000 through 2005 have included US GAAP financial statements.
However, pursuant to a significant expansion of Indian
accounting standards, Indian GAAP constitutes a comprehensive
body of accounting principles. Accordingly, we have included
consolidated financial statements prepared according to Indian
GAAP, with a reconciliation of net income and stockholders
equity to US GAAP and a description of significant differences
between Indian GAAP and US GAAP, in our annual reports for
fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007.
Unless otherwise stated in this prospectus supplement or unless
the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus
supplement to we, our, us
and the Company are to ICICI Bank Limited and its
consolidated subsidiaries and other consolidated entities.
References in this prospectus to ICICI Bank are to
ICICI Bank Limited on an unconsolidated basis. References in
this prospectus to ICICI are to ICICI Limited prior
to its amalgamation with ICICI Bank Limited.
In this prospectus supplement, references to US or
United States are to the United States of America,
its territories and its possessions. References to
India are to the Republic of India. References to
$ or US$ or dollars or
US dollars are to the legal currency of the United
States and references to Rs. or rupees
or Indian rupees are to the legal currency of India.
References to a particular fiscal year are to our
fiscal year ended March 31 of such year.
Except as otherwise stated in this prospectus supplement, all
translations from Indian rupees to US dollars are based on
the noon buying rate in the City of New York on March 30,
2007, for cable transfers in Indian rupees as certified for
customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which
was Rs. 43.10 per $1.00. No representation is made
that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or
could be converted into US dollars at such a rate or any other
rate. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of
the amounts listed are due to rounding.

SUMMARY
You should read the following summary together with the risk
factors and the more detailed information about us and our
financial results included elsewhere in this prospectus
supplement or incorporated by reference.
Overview
We offer products and services in the areas of commercial
banking to retail and corporate customers (both domestic and
international), treasury and investment banking and other
products like insurance and asset management. In fiscal 2007, we
made a net profit of Rs. 27.6 billion
(US$640 million) compared to a net profit of
Rs. 24.2 billion (US$562 million) in fiscal 2006.
At year-end fiscal 2007, we had assets of
Rs. 3,943.3 billion (US$91.5 billion) and a net
worth of Rs. 239.6 billion (US$5.6 billion). At
year-end fiscal 2007, ICICI Bank was the second-largest bank in
India and the largest bank in the private sector in terms of
total assets. At May 15, 2007, ICICI Bank had the largest
market capitalisation among all banks in India.
Our commercial banking operations for retail customers consist
of retail lending and deposits, private banking, distribution of
third party investment products and other fee-based products and
services, as well as issuance of unsecured redeemable bonds. We
provide a range of commercial banking and project finance
products and services, including loan products, fee and
commission-based products and services, deposits and foreign
exchange and derivatives products to Indias leading
corporations, growth-oriented middle market companies and small
and medium enterprises. In addition to foreign exchange and
derivatives products for our customers, our treasury operations
include maintenance and management of regulatory reserves and
proprietary trading in equity and fixed income. We also offer
agricultural and rural banking products. ICICI Securities and
ICICI Securities Primary Dealership are engaged in equity
underwriting and brokerage and primary dealership in government
securities respectively. ICICI Securities owns ICICIDirect.com,
an online brokerage platform. Our venture capital and private
equity fund management subsidiary, ICICI Venture Funds
Management Company manages funds. We provide a wide range of
life and general insurance and asset management products and
services, respectively, through our subsidiaries ICICI
Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, ICICI Lombard General
Insurance Company Limited and ICICI Prudential Asset Management
Company Limited. According to data published by the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority of India, ICICI Prudential
Life Insurance Company had a retail market share of about 28% in
new business written (on weighted received premium basis) by
private sector life insurance companies and about 9.9% in new
business written (on weighted received premium basis) by all
life insurance companies in India during fiscal 2007. According
to data published by the Insurance Regulatory and Development
Authority of India, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company
Limited had a market share of about 34% in gross written premium
among the private sector general insurance companies and 12%
among all general insurance companies in India during fiscal
2007. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company and ICICI Lombard
General Insurance Company were the market leaders among private
sector life and general insurance companies respectively in
fiscal 2007. According to data published by the Association of
Mutual Funds in India, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company
Limited was among the top two mutual funds in India in terms of
total funds under management at April 30, 2007 with a
market share of over 12%. We cross-sell the products of our
insurance and asset management subsidiaries to our customers.
We believe that the international markets present a growth
opportunity and have, therefore, expanded the range of our
commercial banking products to international customers. We
currently have subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Canada and
Russia, branches in Singapore, Dubai, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong,
Bahrain and Qatar and representative offices in the United
States, China, United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, South Africa,
Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Our subsidiary in the United
Kingdom has established a branch in Antwerp, Belgium and has
received regulatory approvals to establish a branch in
Frankfurt, Germany.
We deliver our products and services through a variety of
channels, ranging from bank branches and ATMs to call centers
and the Internet. At year-end fiscal 2007, we had a network of
710 branches, 45 extension counters and
3,271 ATMs across several Indian states. The Sangli Bank
Limited, an unlisted private sector bank with over
190 branches and extension counters merged with us
effective April 19, 2007.

Recent Developments
Our board of directors has, subject to the receipt of all
regulatory approvals, approved the transfer of our equity
shareholding in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited,
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited, ICICI
Prudential Asset Management Company Limited and ICICI Prudential
Trust Limited to a proposed new subsidiary. ICICI Bank
proposes to transfer its aggregate investment in these companies
of Rs. 22.28 billion at year-end fiscal 2007 and any
further investments that may be made by us prior to such
transfer, to the proposed new subsidiary at the book value of
these investments in our books on the date of transfer. The
proposed new subsidiary proposes to raise equity capital through
private placements or an initial public offering to meet the
future capital requirements of the insurance subsidiaries.
Pursuant to initiation of discussions with potential investors
for investment in the proposed new subsidiary, we have received
definitive offers from investors for subscription to equity
shares of the proposed new subsidiary and for entering into
definitive agreements for this purpose. The subscription amount
is Rs. 26.50 billion towards fresh issue of shares by
the proposed new subsidiary, and the investors would thereby
acquire a collective stake of 5.9% in the proposed new
subsidiary, valuing it at Rs. 446.00 billion on a
post-issue basis. The arrangement is subject to receipt of
regulatory and other approvals including that of the Reserve
Bank of India, the Insurance Regulatory & Development
Authority and the Foreign Investment Promotion Board, and would
terminate failing receipt of such approvals within a mutually
agreed date. While we have not received any official
S-3
communication from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board in
respect of our application, we have been given to understand
that our application has not been approved by the Foreign
Investment Promotion Board at its meeting on June 22, 2007. We
will, in consultation with our advisors, evaluate the further
steps to be taken to obtain the requisite approvals in this
regard. An affiliate of Goldman Sachs International, one of the
underwriters for this ADS Offering, has presented a definitive
offer to subscribe for shares constituting 2.02% of the
post-issue equity capital of the proposed new subsidiary.
Naturally, any such implied valuation may vary over time
depending upon the business of the proposed new subsidiary, the
nature of the financing round and other elements. See Risk
Factors Risks Relating to Our Business
We have proposed a reorganization of our holdings in our
insurance and asset management subsidiaries and our inability to
implement this reorganization as well as the significant
additional capital required by these businesses may adversely
impact our business and the price of our Equity Shares.

Dividends |
|
The declaration, amount and payment of dividends are subject to
the recommendation of our board of directors and the approval of
our shareholders. Under Indian regulations currently in force,
the declaration of dividends by banks is subject to certain
additional conditions. If we comply with such conditions, we are
allowed to declare a dividend but only up to a certain
percentage of our profits. For any dividends beyond such
percentage, we are required to obtain permission from the
Reserve Bank of India. Holders of equity shares and ADSs will be
entitled to dividends paid, if any. For fiscal 2005, we paid a
dividend, excluding dividend tax, of Rs. 7.50 per
equity share. For fiscal 2006, in addition to the dividend,
excluding dividend tax, of Rs. 7.50 per equity share
for the year, we paid a special dividend, excluding dividend
tax, of Rs. 1.00 per equity share. For fiscal 2007, we
have proposed a dividend, excluding dividend tax, of
Rs. 8.50 per equity share, which is subject to the
approval of our shareholders. See also Dividends. |
|
Voting rights |
|
The ADSs will have no voting rights. Under the deposit
agreement, the depositary will vote the equity shares deposited
with it as directed by our board of directors. See
Restriction on Foreign Ownership of Indian
Securities. |
|
Delivery and Settlement |
|
It is expected that delivery of the ADSs to the underwriters
will be made against payment on a delayed basis. The time of
delivery is expected to be July 5, 2007. Any change in the
time of delivery will be notified to investors through a press
release which will be posted on our website at
www.icicibank.com. Such notification may not occur until
two or three business days before the earlier of July 5,
2007 or the new time of delivery.
Rule 15c6-1 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, generally
requires that securities trades in the secondary market settle
in three business days, unless the parties to the trade
expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to
trade ADSs on any day prior to the third business day before the
delivery of the ADSs will be required, by virtue of the fact
that the ADSs initially will settle on a delayed basis, to
specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such
trade, or to make any necessary arrangements to ensure that ADSs
are available on the third business day after trading for
settlement, to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of ADSs
who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors.
Purchasers who are not able to borrow ADSs or make any other
necessary arrangements to prevent a failed settlement may not be
able to make any trades of ADSs prior to the third business day
before the delivery of the ADSs to the underwriters. |
S-6
Public Offering in India
We have obtained the approval of our shareholders through postal
ballot to issue equity shares up to an aggregate par value of
Rs. 3,187.5 million, including equity shares issued
pursuant to over-allotment options granted to the underwriters,
which represents 25.0% of our authorized equity share capital.
Part of the equity shares will be offered in India and other
jurisdictions outside the US, where permitted, under an Indian
prospectus filed with the Registrar of Companies, or the RoC, in
India (the Indian public offering). Another part of the equity
shares will be offered as ADSs representing equity shares to the
public in the United States under this prospectus. Approximately
94,663,600 equity shares are expected to be sold in the Indian
public offering, with an over-allotment option of 14,197,011
equity shares. The issue price of the equity shares to
institutional investors will be Rs. 940.0 (US$23.1) per
equity share, with a portion of the equity shares being sold at
a discount of Rs. 50 (US$1.2) per equity share to retail
investors. The allocation between the retail investors and other
investors is expected to result in gross proceeds from the
Indian public offering of approximately
Rs. 87.5 billion (or US$2.14 billion) (or
approximately Rs. 100.6 billion (or
US$2.46 billion) assuming the over-allotment option is
fully exercised). The ADS offering is conditional on the
completion of the Indian public offering but not vice versa,
which condition may be waived by mutual agreement of the
underwriters and ourselves, provided that all relevant Indian
regulations are complied with. The Indian public offering is
subject to customary conditions and there is no assurance that
the Indian public offering will close. We, in our discretion,
may decide to withdraw the ADS offering at any time.
The prospectus used for the Indian public offering may not be
distributed or made available in the United States. The
prospectus may also not be distributed in any other jurisdiction
outside India where such distribution would be unlawful.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA
Pursuant to the issuance and listing of our securities in the
United States under registration statements filed with the
United States Securities Exchange Commission, we file annual
reports on
Form 20-F which
must include financial statements prepared under generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States
(US GAAP) or financial statements prepared according to a
comprehensive body of accounting principles with a
reconciliation of net income and stockholders equity to
US GAAP. When we first listed our securities in the United
States, Indian GAAP was not considered a comprehensive body of
accounting principles under US securities laws and regulations.
Accordingly, our annual reports on
Form 20-F for
fiscal years 2000 through 2005 have included US GAAP
financial statements. However, pursuant to a significant
expansion of Indian accounting standards, Indian GAAP has
subsequently been considered to constitute a comprehensive body
of accounting principles. Accordingly, beginning fiscal 2006, we
have included in our annual report on
Form 20-F,
consolidated financial statements prepared according to Indian
GAAP, which varies in certain respects from US GAAP. For a
reconciliation of net income and stockholders equity to
US GAAP, a description of significant differences between
Indian GAAP and US GAAP and certain additional information
required under US GAAP, see notes 21 and 22 to our
consolidated financial statements included in our annual report
on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed
on June 11, 2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus. For selected financial data in
accordance with US GAAP see Selected
Financial Data in accordance with US GAAP.
The following tables set forth our summary financial and
operating data on a consolidated basis. The summary data for
fiscal 2003 through fiscal 2007 have been derived from our
consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications
have been made in the financial statements of prior years to
conform to classifications used in the current year. These
changes have no impact on previously reported results of
operations or stockholders equity. The accounting and
reporting policies used in the preparation of our financial
statements reflect general industry practices and conform with
Indian GAAP, including the Accounting Standards issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, guidelines issued
by the Reserve Bank of India, the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority and the National Housing Bank as
applicable to ICICI Bank and specific subsidiaries and joint
ventures. The following discussion is based on our audited
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP.
The consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2003 were
jointly audited by N.M. Raiji & Co., Chartered
Accountants and S.R. Batliboi & Co., Chartered
Accountants, for fiscal 2004, 2005 and 2006 by S.R.
Batliboi & Co., Chartered Accountants, and for fiscal
2007 by BSR & Co. Chartered Accountants, under auditing
standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India. The financial position as of March 31, 2006 and 2007
and the related consolidated profit and loss account and the
consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the three-year

Rupee amounts for fiscal 2007 have been translated into US
dollars using the noon buying rate of Rs. 43.10 = US$1.00
in effect on March 30, 2007. |
|
(2) |
Interest on advances represents interest on rupee and foreign
currency loans and advances (including bills) and hire purchase
receivables and gains on sell-down of loans. Commission paid to
direct marketing agents/ dealers for origination of retail
automobile loans which was being reduced from Interest
Income up to fiscal 2006 has been reclassified to
Direct marketing agency expenses. |
|
(3) |
Interest income includes gains on the sell-down of loans. In
February 2006, the Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines on
accounting for securitization of standard assets. In accordance
with these guidelines, with effect from February 1, 2006,
we account for any loss arising on securitization immediately at
the time of sale and the profit/premium arising on account of
securitization is |
S-9
|
|
|
amortized over the life of the
asset. Prior to February 1, 2006, profit arising on account
of securitization was recorded at the time of sale.
|
|
(4) |
As required by the Reserve Bank
of Indias circular no. DBOD.BP.BC.87/21.04.141/2006-07
dated April 20, 2007, we have deducted the amortization of
premium on government securities, which was earlier included in
Provisions and contingencies, from Non
interest income. Prior period figures have been
reclassified to conform to the current classification.
|
|
(5) |
Operating expenses for fiscal
2003 includes Rs. 256 million (US$6 million) and
operating expenses for fiscal years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007
include Rs. 384 million (US$9 million) in each
year on account of amortization of expenses related to our early
retirement option scheme over a period of five years as approved
by the Reserve Bank of India.
|
|
(6) |
The amount of premium ceded on
re-insurance has been reclassified from expenses pertaining to
insurance business and netted off from non-interest income.
|
|
(7) |
Represents net profit/(loss)

adjusted for full dilution. Options to purchase 12,610,275,
1,098,225, 5,000 and 123,500 equity shares granted to employees
at a weighted average exercise price of Rs. 154.7,
Rs. 266.6, Rs. 569.6 and Rs. 849.2 were
outstanding in fiscal 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007 respectively,
but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the exercise price of the options was greater than
the average market price of the equity shares during the period.

In India, dividends for a fiscal
year are normally declared and paid in the following year. We
declared a dividend of Rs. 7.50 per equity share for
each of fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, which was paid out in
August 2003 and in September 2004, i.e., in fiscal 2004 and in
fiscal 2005 respectively. We declared a dividend of
Rs. 8.50 per equity share for each of fiscal 2005 and
fiscal 2006, which was paid out in August 2005 and in July 2006
respectively i.e., in fiscal 2006 and in fiscal 2007. The
dividend per equity share shown above is based on the total
amount of dividends declared for the year. In US dollars, the
dividend was US$0.23 per equity share for fiscal 2007. We
have declared a dividend of Rs. 10.00 per equity share
for fiscal 2007 which is subject to the approval of shareholders.

ICICI had issued preference share capital redeemable at face
value after 20 years. For these preference shares, the
notification dated April 17, 2002 from Ministry of Finance,
government of India, issued on the recommendation of the Reserve
Bank of India, under Section 53 of the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949 had exempted us from the restriction
of section 12(1) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949,
which prohibits the issue of preference shares by banks, for a
period of five year. We have applied to the Reserve Bank of
India for making a recommendation to central government for
continuation of such exemption. |

Represents the average of the quarterly balance of total
liabilities and minority interest. |
|
|
(6) |
Represents the ratio of total dividends paid on equity share
capital, exclusive of dividend distribution tax, as a percentage
of net income. |
|
|
(7) |
Represents the difference between yield on average
interest-earning assets and cost of average interest-bearing
liabilities. Yield on average interest-earning assets is the
ratio of interest income to average interest-earning assets.
Cost of average interest-bearing liabilities is the ratio of
interest expense to average interest-bearing liabilities. |
|
|
(8) |
Represents the ratio of net interest income to average
interest-earning assets. The difference in net interest margin
and spread arises due to the difference in the amount of average
interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing
liabilities. If average interest-earning assets exceed average
interest-bearing liabilities, net interest margin is greater
than spread, and if average interest-bearing liabilities exceed
average interest-earning assets, net interest margin is less
than spread. |

ICICI Banks capital adequacy is computed in accordance
with the Reserve Bank of Indias guidelines and is based on
unconsolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
Indian GAAP. At March 31, 2007, ICICI Banks total
capital adequacy ratio was 11.69% with a Tier 1 capital
adequacy ratio of 7.42% and a Tier 2 capital adequacy ratio
of 4.27%. Foreign currency bonds amounting to
Rs. 32.3 billion (US$750 million) raised for
Upper Tier-II capital have been excluded from the above capital
adequacy ratio computation, pending clarification required by
Reserve Bank of India regarding certain terms of these bonds. If
these bonds were considered as Tier-II capital, the total
capital adequacy ratio would be 12.81%. |

Represents net profit/(loss) adjusted for full dilution. Options
to purchase 12,610,275, 1,098,225, 5,000 and 123,500 equity
shares granted to employees at a weighted average exercise price
of Rs. 154.7, Rs. 266.6, Rs. 569.6 and
Rs. 849.2 were outstanding in fiscal 2003, 2004, 2006 and
2007 respectively, but were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the
options was greater than the average market price of the equity
shares during the period. In fiscal 2003, we reported a net loss
and accordingly all outstanding options at year-end fiscal 2003
are anti-dilutive. |

In India, dividends for a fiscal year are normally declared and
paid in the following year. We declared a dividend of
Rs. 7.50 per equity share for each of fiscal 2003 and
fiscal 2004, which was paid out in August 2003 and in September
2004, i.e., in fiscal 2004 and in fiscal 2005 respectively. We
declared a dividend of Rs. 8.50 per equity share for
each of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, which was paid out in
August 2005 and in July 2006 respectively i.e., in fiscal 2006
and in fiscal 2007. The dividend per equity share shown above is
based on the total amount of dividends paid out on equity shares
during the year, exclusive of dividend tax. This was different
from the dividend declared for the year. In US$, the dividend
was US$0.20 per equity share for fiscal 2007. We have
declared We have declared a dividend of Rs. 10.00 per
equity share for fiscal 2007 which will be paid in fiscal 2008
subject to the approval of our shareholders. |

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the securities offered using this prospectus
involves risk. You should consider carefully the risks described
below, together with the risks as described in the documents
incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. See
Incorporation of Documents by Reference in the
accompanying prospectus. If any of these risks actually occur
you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to India
|
|
|
A slowdown in economic growth or rise in interest rates in
India could cause our business to suffer. |
Any slowdown in the Indian economy or volatility of global
commodity prices, in particular oil and steel prices, could
adversely affect our borrowers and contractual counterparties.
As our commercial banking operations for retail customers are
important to our business and our agricultural loan portfolio is
increasingly important to our business, any slowdown in the
growth of the housing, automobiles and agricultural sectors
could adversely impact our business. Since 2006, interest rates
in the Indian economy have increased significantly and we have
recently experienced a slowdown in disbursements of housing
loans and automobile loans. While we believe that there
continues to be robust growth potential for retail loans, a
slowdown in demand for loans from retail customers, including
due to higher interest rates, could adversely impact our
business. Slowdown in economic growth could result in lower
credit demand and higher defaults among corporate, retail and
rural borrowers, which could adversely impact our business, our
financial performance, our stockholders equity, our
ability to implement our strategy and the price of our equity
shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
A significant increase in the price of crude oil could
adversely affect the Indian economy, which could adversely
affect our business. |
India imports approximately 75.0% of its requirements of crude
oil, which were approximately 31.9% of total imports during the
period April 2006-February 2007 and 31.3% of total imports in
fiscal 2006. Since 2004, there has been a sharp increase in
global crude oil prices due to both increased demand and
pressure on production and refinery capacity, and political and
military tensions in key oil-producing regions. The full burden
of the oil price increase has not been passed to Indian
consumers and has been substantially absorbed by the government
and government-owned oil marketing companies. While global crude
prices have moderated from their peak levels, sustained high
levels, further increases or volatility of oil prices and the
pass-through of increases to Indian consumers could have a
material negative impact on the Indian economy and the Indian
banking and financial system in particular, including through a
rise in inflation and market interest rates and a higher trade
deficit. This could adversely affect our business including our
liquidity, our ability to grow, the quality of our assets, our
financial performance, our stockholders equity, our
ability to implement our strategy and the price of our equity
shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
A significant change in the Indian governments
economic liberalization and deregulation policies could
adversely affect our business and the price of our equity shares
and ADSs. |
Our assets and customers are predominantly located in India. The
Indian government has traditionally exercised and continues to
exercise a dominant influence over many aspects of the economy.
Government policies could adversely affect business and economic
conditions in India, our future financial performance, our
stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs.
|
|
|
Financial instability in other countries, particularly
emerging market countries and countries where we have
established operations, could adversely affect our business and
the price of our equity shares and ADSs. |
The Indian economy is influenced by economic and market
conditions in other countries, particularly emerging market
countries in Asia. We have also established operations in
several other countries. A loss of investor confidence in the
financial systems of other emerging markets and countries where
we have established operations or any worldwide financial
instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian
financial markets and, directly or indirectly, adversely affect
the Indian economy and financial sector, our
S-14
business, our future financial performance, our
stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs.
|
|
|
If regional hostilities, terrorist attacks or social
unrest in some parts of the country increase, our business and
the price of our equity shares and ADSs could be adversely
affected. |
India has from time to time experienced social and civil unrest
and hostilities both internally and with neighboring countries.
In the past, there have been military confrontations between
India and Pakistan. India has also experienced terrorist attacks
in some parts of the country. These hostilities and tensions
could lead to political or economic instability in India and
adversely affect our business, our future financial performance,
our stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares
and ADSs.
|
|
|
Trade deficits could adversely affect our business and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs. |
Indias trade relationships with other countries and its
trade deficit, driven to a major extent by global crude oil
prices, may adversely affect Indian economic conditions. If
trade deficits increase or are no longer manageable because of
the rise in global crude oil prices or otherwise, the Indian
economy, and therefore our business, our financial performance,
our stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares
and ADSs could be adversely affected.
|
|
|
Natural calamities could adversely affect the Indian
economy, or the economy of other countries where we operate, our
business and the price of our equity shares and ADSs. |
India has experienced natural calamities like earthquakes,
floods and drought in the past few years. The extent and
severity of these natural disasters determine their impact on
the Indian economy. For example, in fiscal 2003, many parts of
India received significantly less than normal rainfall. As a
result of the drought conditions in the economy during fiscal
2003, the agricultural sector recorded a negative growth of
7.2%. Also, the erratic progress of the monsoon in fiscal 2005
adversely affected sowing operations for certain crops and
resulted in a decline in the growth rate of the agricultural
sector from 10.0% in fiscal 2004 to negligible growth in fiscal
2005. The agricultural sector grew by 6.0% in fiscal 2006 and by
2.7% in fiscal 2007. Further prolonged spells of below or above
normal rainfall or other natural calamities could adversely
affect the Indian economy and our business, especially in view
of our strategy of increasing our exposure to rural India.
Similarly natural calamities in other countries where we operate
could affect the economies of those countries and our operations
in those countries.
|
|
|
Financial difficulty and other problems in certain
financial institutions in India could adversely affect our
business and the price of our equity shares and ADSs. |
As an Indian bank, we are exposed to the risks of the Indian
financial system which may be affected by the financial
difficulties faced by certain Indian financial institutions
because the commercial soundness of many financial institutions
may be closely related as a result of credit, trading, clearing
or other relationships. This risk, which is sometimes referred
to as systemic risk, may adversely affect financial
intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, banks, securities
firms and exchanges with whom we interact on a daily basis. Any
such difficulties or instability of the Indian financial system
in general could create an adverse market perception about
Indian financial institutions and banks and adversely affect our
business. See also Overview of the Indian Financial
Sector in our annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus. As the Indian financial system operates
within an emerging market, it faces risks of a nature and extent
not typically faced in more developed economies, including the
risk of deposit runs notwithstanding the existence of a national
deposit insurance scheme. For example, in April 2003,
unsubstantiated rumors, believed to have originated in Gujarat,
a state in India, alleged that we were facing liquidity
problems. Although our liquidity position was sound, we
witnessed higher than normal deposit withdrawals on account of
these unsubstantiated rumors for several days in April 2003. We
successfully controlled the situation in this instance, but any
failure to control such situations in the future could result in
high volumes of deposit withdrawals which would adversely impact
our liquidity position.

A decline in Indias foreign exchange reserves may
affect liquidity and interest rates in the Indian economy which
could adversely impact us. |
A decline in Indias foreign exchange reserves could result
in reduced liquidity and higher interest rates in the Indian
economy, which could adversely affect our business, our future
financial performance, our stockholders equity and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs. See also
Risks Relating to Our Business.

Any downgrading of Indias debt rating by an
international rating agency could adversely affect our business,
our liquidity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs. |
Any adverse revisions to Indias credit ratings for
domestic and international debt by international rating agencies
may adversely affect our business and limit our access to
capital markets and decrease our liquidity.
Risks Relating to Our Business
|
|
|
Our banking and trading activities are particularly
vulnerable to interest rate risk and volatility in interest
rates could adversely affect our net interest margin, the value
of our fixed income portfolio, our income from treasury
operations, the quality of our loan portfolio and our financial
performance. |
As a result of certain reserve requirements of the Reserve Bank
of India, we are more structurally exposed to interest rate risk
than banks in many other countries. See Supervision and
Regulation Legal Reserve Requirements in our
annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus. These requirements result in our
maintaining a large portfolio of fixed income government of
India securities, and we could be materially adversely impacted
by a rise in interest rates, especially if the rise were sudden
or sharp. These requirements also have a negative impact on our
net interest income and net interest margin because we earn
interest on a portion of our assets at rates that are generally
less favorable than those typically received on our other
interest-earning assets. If the yield on our interest-earning
assets does not increase at the same time or to the same extent
as our cost of funds, or if our cost of funds does not decline
at the same time or to the same extent as the yield on our
interest-earning assets, our net interest income and net
interest margin is adversely impacted. During the last quarter
of fiscal 2007, the Indian markets experienced volatility and
sharp increases in interest rates and we experienced a sharp
increase in our funding costs, which may adversely impact our
net interest income, net interest margin and financial
performance during fiscal 2008. We are also exposed to interest
rate risk through our treasury operations and our subsidiary,
ICICI Securities Primary Dealership Limited, which is a primary
dealer in government of India securities. A rise in interest
rates or greater interest rate volatility could adversely affect
our income from treasury operations or the value of our fixed
income securities trading portfolio. Sharp and sustained
increases in the rates of interest charged on floating rate home
loans, which are a material proportion of our loan portfolio,
would result in extension of loan maturities and higher monthly
installments due from borrowers, which could result in higher
rates of default in this portfolio.
|
|
|
If we are not able to control the level of non-performing
assets in our portfolio, our business will suffer. |
Since 2001, we have experienced rapid growth in our retail loan
portfolio. Recently, we have experienced rapid growth in the
portfolio of non-collateralized retail loans including unsecured
personal loans and the proportion of unsecured personal loans
and credit card receivables in our retail loan has increased
significantly. See Business Overview of ICICI
Banks Products and Services Commercial Banking
for Retail Customers. Various factors, including a rise in
unemployment, prolonged recessionary conditions, a sharp and
sustained rise in interest rates, developments in the Indian
economy, movements in global commodity markets and exchange
rates and global competition could cause an increase in the
level of non-performing assets on account of these retail loans
and have a material adverse impact on the quality of our loan
portfolio. In addition, under the directed lending norms of the
Reserve Bank of India, we are required to extend 50.0% of our
residual adjusted net bank credit (excluding the advances of
ICICI at year-end fiscal 2002) to certain eligible sectors,
which are categorized as priority sectors. See
Business Loan
S-16
Portfolio Directed Lending. We may experience
a significant increase in non-performing assets in our directed
lending portfolio, particularly loans to the agricultural sector
and small-scale industries, where we are less able to control
the portfolio quality and where economic difficulties are likely
to affect our borrowers more severely. Any change by the Reserve
Bank of India in the directed lending norms may result in our
inability to meet the priority sector lending requirements as
well as require us to increase our lending to relatively riskier
segments and may result in an increase in non-performing assets
in the directed lending portfolio. See also We
have experienced rapid international growth in the last three
years which has increased the complexity of the risks that we
face and Our rapid retail expansion in
India and our rural initiative expose us to increased risks that
may adversely affect our business. We may not be able to
control or reduce the level of non-performing assets in our
project and corporate finance portfolio. We may not be
successful in our efforts to improve collections and foreclose
on existing non-performing assets. We also have investments in
security receipts arising out of the sale of non-performing
assets by us to Asset Reconstruction Company (India) Limited, a
reconstruction company registered with the Reserve Bank of
India. See Business Classification of
Loans. There can be no assurance that Asset Reconstruction
Company (India) Limited will be able to recover these assets and
redeem our investments in security receipts and that there will
be no reduction in the value of these investments.
If we are not able to control or reduce the level of
non-performing assets, the overall quality of our loan portfolio
may deteriorate and our business may be adversely affected.
|
|
|
Further deterioration of our non-performing asset
portfolio and an inability to improve our provisioning coverage
as a percentage of gross non-performing assets could adversely
affect the price of our equity shares and ADSs. |
Although we believe that our total provisions will be adequate
to cover all known losses in our asset portfolio, there can be
no assurance that there will be no deterioration in the
provisioning coverage as a percentage of gross non-performing
assets or otherwise or that the percentage of non-performing
assets that we will be able to recover will be similar to our
and ICICIs past experience of recoveries of non-performing
assets. In the event of any further deterioration in our
non-performing asset portfolio, there could be an adverse impact
on our business, our future financial performance, our
stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs.
|
|
|
The value of our collateral may decrease or we may
experience delays in enforcing our collateral when borrowers
default on their obligations to us which may result in failure
to recover the expected value of collateral security exposing us
to a potential loss. |
A substantial portion of our loans to corporate and retail
customers are secured by collateral. See
Business Classification of Loans
Non-Performing Asset Strategy. Changes in asset prices may
cause the value of our collateral to decline and we may not be
able to realize the full value of our collateral as a result of
delays in bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings, defects or
deficiencies in the perfection of collateral (including due to
inability to obtain approvals that may be required from various
persons, agencies or authorities), fraudulent transfers by
borrowers and other factors, including current legislative
provisions or changes thereto and past or future judicial
pronouncements. Failure to recover the expected value of
collateral could expose us to potential losses, which could
adversely affect our business.
|
|
|
We have experienced rapid international growth in the last
three years which has increased the complexity of the risks that
we face. |
Beginning in fiscal 2004, we began a rapid international
expansion opening banking subsidiaries in the United Kingdom,
Canada and Russia and branches and representative offices in
several countries. We offer retail banking products and services
including remittance services across these markets primarily to
non-resident Indians. We also deliver products and services,
including foreign currency financing and cross-border
acquisition financing, to our corporate clients through our
international subsidiaries and branches. In Canada and the
United Kingdom, we have also launched direct banking offerings
using the Internet as the access
S-17
channel. At year-end fiscal 2007, the assets of these banking
subsidiaries and branches constituted approximately 19% of the
consolidated assets of ICICI Bank and its banking subsidiaries.
This rapid international expansion into banking in multiple
jurisdictions exposes us to a new variety of regulatory and
business challenges and risks, including cross-cultural risk and
has increased the complexity of our risks in a number of areas
including currency risks, interest rate risks, compliance risk,
regulatory and reputational risk and operational risk. The loan
portfolio of our international branches and subsidiaries
includes foreign currency loans to Indian companies for their
Indian operations (as permitted by regulation) as well as for
their overseas ventures, including cross-border acquisitions.
This exposes us to specific additional risks including the
failure of the acquired entities to perform as expected, and our
inexperience in various aspects of the economic and legal
framework in overseas markets. See also We are
subject to legal and regulatory risk which may adversely affect
our business and the price of our equity shares and ADSs.
The skills required for this business could be different from
those required for our Indian business and we may not be able to
attract the required talented professionals. If we are unable to
manage these risks, our business could be adversely affected.
|
|
|
Our rapid retail expansion in India and our rural
initiative expose us to increased risks that may adversely
affect our business. |
We have experienced rapid growth in our retail loan portfolio.
See Business Loan Portfolio. In
addition, we have begun a rural initiative designed to bring our
products and services into many rural areas. This rapid growth
of the retail loan business and the rural initiative exposes us
to increased risks within India including the risk that our
impaired loans may grow faster than anticipated, increased
operational risk, increased fraud risk and increased regulatory
and legal risk. For example, during fiscal 2007, we made a
provision of Rs. 0.93 billion (US$22 million) for
losses from frauds pertaining to the warehouse receipt-based
financing product for agricultural credit. See also
We are subject to legal and regulatory risk
which may adversely affect our business and the price of our
equity shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
We are subject to legal and regulatory risk which may
adversely affect our business and the price of our equity shares
and ADSs. |
We are subject to a wide variety of banking, insurance and
financial services laws and regulations and a large number of
regulatory and enforcement authorities in each of the
jurisdictions in which we operate. The laws and regulations
governing the banking and financial services industry have
become increasingly complex governing a wide variety of issues,
including interest rates, liquidity, capital adequacy,
securitization, investments, ethical issues, money laundering,
privacy, record keeping, and marketing and selling practices,
with sometimes overlapping jurisdictional or enforcement
authorities. Our insurance businesses are also subject to
extensive regulation and supervisions and the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority has the ability to impact
and alter laws and regulations regarding the insurance industry,
including regulations governing products, selling commissions,
solvency margins and reserving, which can also lead to
additional costs or restrictions on our activities.
Failure to comply with applicable regulations in various
jurisdictions, including unauthorized actions by employees,
representatives, agents and third parties, suspected or
perceived failures and media reports, and ensuing inquiries or
investigations by regulatory and enforcement authorities, has
resulted, and may result in regulatory action including
financial penalties and restrictions on or suspension of the
related business operations.
In addition, a failure to comply with the applicable regulations
in various jurisdictions by our employees, representatives,
agents and third party service providers either in or outside
the course of their services, or suspected or perceived failures
by them, may result in inquiries or investigations by regulatory
and enforcement authorities, in regulatory or enforcement action
against either us, or such employees, representatives, agents
and third party service providers. Such actions may impact our
reputation, result in adverse media reports, lead to increased
or enhanced regulatory or supervisory concerns, additional
costs, penalties, claims and expenses being incurred by us or
impact adversely our ability to conduct business.
S-18
In fiscal 2006, the Reserve Bank India imposed a penalty of Rs.
0.5 million (US$11,601) on us in connection with our role
as collecting bankers in certain public offerings of equity by
companies in India. The Securities and Futures Commission, Hong
Kong charged us with carrying on the business of dealing in
securities in Hong Kong between June 15, 2004 and
March 8, 2006, without having the requisite license. The
Eastern Magistrates Court, Hong Kong, on April 10,
2007 fined us a sum of HKD 40,000 (approximately US$5,120) and
further ordered us to reimburse investigation costs to the
Securities and Futures Commission. We have paid these amounts.
If we fail to manage our legal and regulatory risk in the many
jurisdictions in which we operate, our business could suffer,
our reputation could be harmed and we would be subject to
additional legal risk. This could, in turn, increase the size
and number of claims and damages asserted against us or subject
us to regulatory investigations, enforcement actions or other
proceedings, or lead to increased regulatory or supervisory
concerns. We may also be required to spend additional time and
resources on any remedial measures which could have an adverse
effect on our business.
Despite our best efforts to comply with all applicable
regulations, there are a number of risks that cannot be
completely controlled. Our rapid international expansion has led
to increased risk in this respect. Regulators in every
jurisdiction in which we operate or have listed our securities
have the power to bring administrative or judicial proceedings
against us (or our employees, representatives, agents and third
party service providers), which could result, among other
things, in suspension or revocation of one or more of our
licenses, cease and desist orders, fines, civil penalties,
criminal penalties or other disciplinary action which could
materially harm our results of operations and financial
condition.
We cannot predict the timing or form of any current or future
regulatory or law enforcement initiatives, which we note are
increasingly common for international banks and financial
institutions, but we would expect to cooperate with any such
regulatory investigation or proceeding.
|
|
|
Regulatory changes in India or other jurisdictions in
which we operate could adversely affect our business. |
The laws and regulations or the regulatory or enforcement
environment in any of the jurisdictions in which we operate may
change at any time and may have an adverse effect on the
products or services we offer, the value of our assets or of the
collateral available for our loans or our business in general.
Since 2005, the Reserve Bank of India has instituted several
changes in regulations applicable to banking companies,
including increase in risk-weights on certain categories of
loans for computation of capital adequacy, increase in general
provisioning requirements for various categories of assets,
change in capital requirements and accounting norms for
securitization, increases in regulated interest rates, increases
in the cash reserve ratio, cessation of payment of interest on
cash reserve balances, changes in limits on investments in
financial sector enterprises and venture capital funds and
changes in directed lending requirements. In April 2007, the
Reserve Bank of India issued final guidelines on implementation
of the new capital adequacy framework pursuant to Basel II,
which, while requiring maintenance of capital for operational
risk and undrawn commitments and higher capital for unrated
exposures, stipulates continuance of higher risk weights for
retail loans and increase in minimum Tier-1 capital adequacy
ratio from 4.5% to 6.0%. The Reserve Bank of India has also
issued draft guidelines on accounting for derivative instruments
and transactions and restructuring of loans, which in their
final form could adversely impact our financial performance. The
Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority issued new
regulations effective July 1, 2006, introducing minimum
policy period and sum assured stipulations for unit-linked life
insurance products. Similar changes in the future could have an
adverse impact on our growth, capital adequacy and
profitability. Any change by the Reserve Bank of India in the
directed lending norms may result in our inability to meet the
priority sector lending requirements as well as require us to
increase our lending to relatively riskier segments and may
result in an increase in non-performing assets in the directed
lending portfolio. The new levy of fringe benefit tax on
employee stock options proposed in the government of
Indias budget for fiscal 2008 could adversely impact our
financial performance if the incidence of the tax is borne or
required to be borne by us.
S-19
|
|
|
The failure of our restructured loans to perform as
expected or a significant increase in the level of restructured
loans in our portfolio could affect our business. |
Our standard assets include restructured standard loans. See
Business Classification of Loans
Restructured Loans. Our borrowers requirements to
restructure their loans arose due to several factors, including
increased competition arising from economic liberalization in
India, variable industrial growth, a sharp decline in commodity
prices, the high level of debt in the financing of projects and
capital structures of companies in India and the high interest
rates in the Indian economy during the period in which a large
number of projects contracted their borrowings. These factors
reduced profitability for certain of our borrowers and also
resulted in the restructuring of certain Indian companies in
sectors including petroleum, refining and petrochemicals, iron
and steel, textiles and cement. The failure of these borrowers
to perform as expected or a significant increase in the level of
restructured assets in our portfolio could adversely affect our
business, our future financial performance, our
stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs.
|
|
|
Our funding is primarily short-term and if depositors do
not roll over deposited funds upon maturity, our business could
be adversely affected. |
Most of our incremental funding requirements, including
replacement of maturing liabilities of ICICI (which generally
had longer maturities), are met through short-term funding
sources, primarily in the form of deposits including deposits
from corporate customers and inter-bank deposits. Our customer
deposits generally have a maturity of less than one year.
However, a large portion of our assets, primarily the assets of
ICICI and our home loan portfolio, have medium or long-term
maturities, creating the potential for funding mismatches. Our
ability to raise fresh deposits and grow our deposit base
depends in part on our ability to expand our network of
branches, which requires the approval of the Reserve Bank of
India. In September 2005, the Reserve Bank of India replaced the
existing system of granting authorizations for opening
individual branches with a system of giving aggregated approvals
covering both branches and existing non-branch channels like
ATMs, on an annual basis. While we have recently received the
Reserve Bank of Indias authorizations for establishing new
branches and additional off-site ATMs, there can be no assurance
that these authorizations or future authorizations granted by
the Reserve Bank of India will meet our requirements for branch
expansion to achieve the desired growth in our deposit base.
High volumes of deposit withdrawals or failure of a substantial
number of our depositors to roll over deposited funds upon
maturity or to replace deposited funds with fresh deposits as
well as our inability to grow our deposit base, could have an
adverse effect on our liquidity position, our business, our
future financial performance, our stockholders equity and
the price of our equity shares and ADSs. See also
Financial difficulty and other problems in
certain financial institutions in India could adversely affect
our business and the price of our equity shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
A large proportion of ICICIs loans consisted of
project finance assistance, which continues to be a part of our
loan portfolio and is particularly vulnerable to completion and
other risks. |
Long-term project finance assistance was a significant
proportion of ICICIs asset portfolio and continues to be a
part of our loan portfolio. The viability of these projects and
other projects that we may finance in future depends upon a
number of factors, including market demand, government policies
and the overall economic environment in India and the
international markets. These projects are particularly
vulnerable to a variety of risks, including completion risk and
counterparty risk, which could adversely impact their ability to
generate revenues. We cannot be sure that these projects will
perform as anticipated. In the past, we experienced a high level
of default and restructuring in our project finance loan
portfolio as a result of the downturn in certain global
commodity markets and increased competition in India. Future
project finance losses or high levels of loan restructuring
could have a materially adverse effect on our profitability and
the quality of our loan portfolio.
S-20

|
|
We have a high concentration of loans to certain customers
and sectors and if a substantial portion of these loans become
non performing, the overall quality of our loan portfolio, our
business and the price of our equity shares and ADSs could be
adversely affected. |
Our loan portfolio and non-performing asset portfolio have a
high concentration in certain customers. See
Business Loan Portfolio
Loan Concentration. In the past, certain of our
borrowers have been adversely affected by economic conditions in
varying degrees. Credit losses due to financial difficulties of
these borrowers/ borrower groups in the future could adversely
affect our business, our financial performance, our
stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs.
|
|
|
We face greater credit risks than banks in developed
economies. |
Our credit risk is higher because most of our borrowers are
based in India. Unlike several developed economies, a nationwide
credit bureau has become operational in India only recently.
This may affect the quality of information available to us about
the credit history of our borrowers, especially individuals and
small businesses. In addition, the credit risk of our borrowers,
particularly small and middle market companies, is higher than
borrowers in more developed economies due to the greater
uncertainty in the Indian regulatory, political, economic and
industrial environment and the difficulties of many of our
corporate borrowers to adapt to global technological advances.
Also, several of our corporate borrowers in the past suffered
from low profitability because of increased competition from
economic liberalization, a sharp decline in commodity prices, a
high debt burden and high interest rates in the Indian economy
at the time of their financing, and other factors. This may lead
to an increase in the level of our non-performing assets and
there could be an adverse impact on our business, our future
financial performance, our stockholders equity and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
We have proposed a reorganization of our holdings in our
insurance and asset management subsidiaries and our inability to
implement this reorganization as well as the significant
additional capital required by these businesses may adversely
impact our business and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs. |
Given the expected losses and the significant growth in our life
insurance and general insurance businesses, we expect that
significant additional capital will be needed to support these
businesses and, as a result, we have reorganized our holdings in
our insurance and asset management subsidiaries. Our board has
approved the transfer of our equity shareholding in our
insurance and asset management subsidiaries to a proposed new
subsidiary. We propose to raise equity capital in this proposed
new subsidiary to meet the future capital requirements of the
insurance subsidiaries. The incorporation of the subsidiary,
transfer of the equity shares and issuance of new shares by the
proposed new subsidiary are subject to regulatory and other
approvals. See Business Insurance. If we
are unable to implement this reorganization and raise capital in
this proposed new subsidiary, we would be required to invest
further capital to fund the growth of the insurance businesses.
Our inability to implement this reorganization and raise capital
in this subsidiary, or the valuation at which such capital is
raised, could adversely impact our ability to capitalise our
insurance subsidiaries, their growth, our future capital
adequacy, our financial performance and the price of our equity
shares and ADSs.

|
While our insurance businesses are becoming an
increasingly important part of our business, there can be no
assurance that they will continue to experience high rates of
growth. |
Our life insurance and general insurance joint ventures have
experienced high rates of growth and are becoming an
increasingly important part of our business. See
Business Insurance and Operating
and Financial Review and Prospects Insurance
Segment. There can be no assurance that these businesses
will continue to experience high rates of growth. Any slowdown
in these businesses and in particular in the life insurance
business could have an adverse impact on our business and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs.
S-21

|
Our life insurance business is in a loss position and is
expected to continue to generate losses for some years. |
We and our joint venture partner have made significant
investments in our life insurance joint venture, ICICI
Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited. As described
elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, see
Business Insurance and Operating
and Financial Review and Prospects Insurance
Segment, and as is normal in the
start-up phase of any
life insurance business, we are currently experiencing losses
from this businesses. We expect these losses to continue for
some years.
|
|
|
Loss reserves for our general insurance business are based
on estimates as to future claims liabilities and adverse
developments relating to claims could lead to further reserve
additions and materially adversely affect our results of
operations. |
In accordance with industry practice and accounting and
regulatory requirements, we establish reserves for loss and loss
adjustment expenses related to our general insurance business.
Reserves are based on estimates of future payments that will be
made in respect of claims, including expenses relating to such
claims. Such estimates are made on both a case by case basis,
based on the facts and circumstances available at the time the
reserves are established, as well as in respect of losses that
have been incurred but not reported. These reserves represent
the estimated ultimate cost necessary to bring all pending
claims to final settlement.
Reserves are subject to change due to a number of variables
which affect the ultimate cost of claims, such as changes in the
legal environment, results of litigation, costs of repairs and
other factors such as inflation and exchange rates and our
reserves for environmental and other latent claims are
particularly subject to such variables. Our results of
operations depend significantly upon the extent to which our
actual claims experience is consistent with the assumptions we
use in setting the prices for products and establishing the
liabilities for obligations for technical provisions and claims.
To the extent that our actual claims experience is less
favorable than the underlying assumptions used in establishing
such liabilities, we may be required to increase our reserves,
which may materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Established loss reserves estimates are periodically adjusted in
the ordinary course of settlement, using the most current
information available to management, and any adjustments
resulting from changes in reserve estimates are reflected in
current results of operations. We also conduct reviews of
various lines of business to consider the adequacy of reserve
levels. Based on current information available to us and on the
basis of our internal procedures, our management considers that
these reserves are adequate at year-end fiscal 2007. However,
because the establishment of reserves for loss and loss
adjustment expenses is an inherently uncertain process, there
can be no assurance that ultimate losses will not materially
exceed the established reserves for loss and loss adjustment
expenses and have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
|
|
|
The financial results of our general insurance business
could be materially adversely affected by the occurrence of
catastrophe. |
Portions of our general insurance may cover losses from
unpredictable events such as hurricanes, windstorms, monsoons,
earthquakes, fires, industrial explosions, floods, riots and
other man-made or natural disasters, including acts of
terrorism. The incidence and severity of these catastrophes in
any given period are inherently unpredictable.
Although we monitor our overall exposure to catastrophes and
other unpredictable events in each geographic region and
determine our underwriting limits related to insurance coverage
for losses from catastrophic events, we generally seek to reduce
our exposure through the purchase of reinsurance, selective
underwriting practices and by monitoring risk accumulation.
Claims relating to catastrophes may result in unusually high
levels of losses and could have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or results of operations.
S-22
|
|
|
Actuarial experience and other factors could differ from
assumptions made in the calculation of life actuarial
reserves. |
The assumptions we make in assessing our life insurance reserves
may differ from what we experience in the future. We derive our
life insurance reserves using best estimate
actuarial policies and assumptions. These assumptions include
the assessment of the long-term development of interest rates,
investment returns, the allocation of investments between
equity, fixed income and other categories, mortality and
morbidity rates, policyholder lapses and future expense levels.
We monitor our actual experience of these assumptions and to the
extent that we consider that this experience will continue in
the longer term, we refine our long-term assumptions. Changes in
any such assumptions may lead to changes in the estimates of
life and health insurance reserves.

|
A determination against us in respect of disputed tax
assessments may adversely impact our financial
performance. |
We have been assessed a significant amount in additional taxes
by the government of Indias tax authorities in excess of
our provisions. See Business Legal and
Regulatory Proceedings. We have appealed all of these
demands. While we expect that no additional liability will arise
out of these disputed demands, there can be no assurance that
these matters will be settled in our favor or that no further
liability will arise out of these demands. Any additional tax
liability may adversely impact our financial performance and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
We are involved in various litigations. Any final judgment
awarding material damages against us could have a material
adverse impact on our future financial performance, our
stockholders equity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs. |
We and other group companies, or our or their directors or
officers, are often involved in litigations (including civil or
criminal) for a variety of reasons, which generally arise
because we seek to recover our dues from borrowers or because
customers seek claims against us. The majority of these cases
arise in the normal course and we believe, based on the facts of
the cases and consultation with counsel, that these cases
generally do not involve the risk of a material adverse impact
on our financial performance or stockholders equity. Where
we assess that there is a probable risk of loss, it is our
policy to make provisions for the loss. However, we do not make
provisions or disclosures in our financial statements where our
assessment is that the risk is insignificant. See
Business Legal and Regulatory
Proceedings. We cannot guarantee that the judgments in any
of the litigation in which we are involved would be favorable to
us and if our assessment of the risk changes, our view on
provisions will also change.
|
|
|
If we are not able to integrate any future acquisitions,
our business could be disrupted. |
We may seek opportunities for growth through acquisitions or be
required to undertake mergers mandated by the Reserve Bank of
India under its statutory powers. In the past, the Reserve Bank
of India has ordered mergers of weak banks with other banks
primarily in the interest of depositors of the weak banks.
On April 19, 2007 we received the Reserve Bank of
Indias approval for an all-stock amalgamation of The
Sangli Bank Limited, or Sangli Bank, an unlisted private sector
bank with us. At year-end fiscal 2006, Sangli Bank had over 190
branches and extension counters, total assets of
Rs. 21.5 billion (US$499 million), total deposits
of Rs. 20.0 billion (US$465 million), total loans
of Rs. 8.9 billion (US$206 million) and total
capital adequacy of only 1.6%. In fiscal 2006, it incurred a
loss of Rs. 0.29 billion (US$7 million).
This and any future acquisitions or mergers may involve a number
of risks, including deterioration of asset quality, diversion of
our managements attention required to integrate the
acquired business and the failure to retain key acquired
personnel and clients, leverage synergies or rationalise
operations, or develop the skills required for new businesses
and markets, or unknown and known liabilities, some or all of
which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our business is very competitive and our growth strategy
depends on our ability to compete effectively. |
Within the Indian market, we face intense competition from
Indian and foreign commercial banks in all our products and
services. Foreign banks also operate in India through
non-banking finance companies. Further liberalization of the
Indian financial sector could lead to a greater presence or new
entries of foreign banks offering a wider range of products and
services, which would significantly toughen our competitive
environment. In addition, the Indian financial sector may
experience further consolidation, resulting in fewer banks and
financial institutions, some of which may have greater resources
than us. The government of India has indicated its support for
consolidation among government-owned banks. The Reserve Bank of
India has announced a road map for the presence of foreign banks
in India that would, after a review in 2009, allow foreign banks
to acquire up to a 74.0% shareholding in an Indian private
sector bank. See Business Competition
and Overview of the Indian Financial Sector
Commercial Banks Foreign Banks in our annual
report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007 filed on June 11, 2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus. Due to competitive pressures, we may be
unable to successfully execute our growth strategy and offer
products and services at reasonable returns and this may
adversely impact our business.
In our international operations we also face intense competition
from the full range of competitors in the financial services
industry, both banks and non-banks and both Indian and foreign
banks. We remain a small to mid-size player in the international
markets and many of our competitors have resources much greater
than our own.
|
|
|
Fraud and significant security breaches in our computer
system and network infrastructure could adversely impact our
business. |
Our business operations are based on a high volume of
transactions. Although we take adequate measures to safeguard
against system-related and other fraud, there can be no
assurance that we would be able to prevent fraud. Our reputation
could be adversely affected by fraud committed by employees,
customers or outsiders. Our rural initiative, our rapid
international growth and our expansion to new product lines such
as insurance may create additional challenges with respect to
managing the risk of frauds due to the increased geographical
dispersion and use of intermediaries. For example, during fiscal
2007, we made a provision of Rs. 0.93 billion
(US$22 million) for losses from frauds pertaining to the
warehouse receipt-based financing product for agricultural
credit. See Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects Provisions for Non-performing Assets and
Restructured Loans and Business Risk
Management Operational Risk. Physical or
electronic break-ins, security breaches, other disruptive
problems caused by our increased use of the Internet or power
disruptions could also affect the security of information stored
in and transmitted through our computer systems and network
infrastructure. Although we have implemented security technology
and operational procedures to prevent such occurrences, there
can be no assurance that these security measures will be
successful. A significant failure in security measures could
have a material adverse effect on our business. our future
financial performance, our stockholders equity and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
System failures could adversely impact our
business. |
Given the increasing share of retail products and services and
transaction banking services in our total business, the
importance of systems technology to our business has increased
significantly. Our principal delivery channels include ATMs,
call centers and the Internet. Any failure in our systems,
particularly for retail products and services and transaction
banking, could significantly affect our operations and the
quality of our customer service and could result in business and
financial losses and adversely affect the price of our equity
shares and ADSs.
S-24
|
|
|
There is operational risk associated with our industry
which, when realized, may have an adverse impact on our
business. |
We, like all financial institutions, are exposed to many types
of operational risk, including the risk of fraud or other
misconduct by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions
by employees and third parties (including violation of
regulations for prevention of corrupt practices, and other
regulations governing our business activities), misreporting or
non-reporting with respect to statutory, legal or regulatory
reporting and disclosure obligations, or operational errors,
including clerical or record keeping errors or errors resulting
from faulty computer or telecommunications systems. Our rapid
growth, particularly in the rural initiative, international
arena and insurance businesses exposes us to additional
operational and control risks. The increasing size of our
treasury operations, which use automated control and recording
systems as well as manual checks and record keeping, exposes us
to the risk of errors in control and record keeping. We use
direct marketing associates for marketing our retail credit
products. We also outsource some functions, like collections, to
other agencies. Given our high volume of transactions, certain
errors may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered
and successfully rectified. In addition, our dependence upon
automated systems to record and process transactions may further
increase the risk that technical system flaws or employee
tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses
that are difficult to detect. We may also be subject to
disruptions of our operating systems, arising from events that
are wholly or partially beyond our control (including, for
example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunication
outages), which may give rise to a deterioration in customer
service and to loss or liability to us. We are further exposed
to the risk that external vendors may be unable to fulfill their
contractual obligations to us (or will be subject to the same
risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective
employees as are we), and to the risk that its (or its
vendors) business continuity and data security systems
prove not to be sufficiently adequate. We also face the risk
that the design of our controls and procedures prove inadequate,
or are circumvented, thereby causing delays in detection or
errors in information. Although we maintain a system of controls
designed to keep operational risk at appropriate levels, like
all banks and insurance companies we have suffered losses from
operational risk and there can be no assurance that we will not
suffer losses from operational risks in the future that may be
material in amount, and our reputation could be adversely
affected by the occurrence of any such events involving our
employees, customers or third parties. For a discussion of how
operational risk is managed, see Business Risk
Management Operational Risk.
|
|
|
We are subject to credit, market and liquidity risk which
may have an adverse effect on our credit ratings and our cost of
funds. |
To the extent any of the instruments and strategies we use to
hedge or otherwise manage our exposure to market or credit risk
are not effective, we may not be able to mitigate effectively
our risk exposures in particular market environments or against
particular types of risk. Our balance sheet growth will be
dependent upon economic conditions, as well as upon our
determination to securitize, sell, purchase or syndicate
particular loans or loan portfolios. Securitization is an
important element of our funding and capital management
strategy. The Indian securitization market is still evolving in
terms of asset classes, participants and regulations and there
can be no assurance of our continuing ability to securitize loan
portfolios. In November 2006, CRISIL, an Indian credit rating
agency, lowered the rating of a personal loan receivables pool,
securitized by us, by two notches due to higher than anticipated
utilization of the cash collateral stipulated at the initiation
of the transaction. Similarly, syndication of corporate loan
exposures is an important part of our strategy and there can be
no assurance of the continued availability and growth of the
market for Indian corporate loan syndications.
Our trading revenues and interest rate risk are dependent upon
our ability to properly identify, and mark to market, changes in
the value of financial instruments caused by changes in market
prices or rates. Our earnings are dependent upon the
effectiveness of our management of migrations in credit quality
and risk concentrations, the accuracy of our valuation models
and our critical accounting estimates and the adequacy of our
allowances for loan losses. To the extent our assessments,
assumptions or estimates prove inaccurate or not predictive of
actual results, we could suffer higher than anticipated losses.
See also Further deterioration of our
non-performing asset portfolio and an inability to improve our
provisioning coverage as a
S-25
percentage of gross non-performing assets could adversely affect
the price of our equity shares and ADSs. The successful
management of credit, market and operational risk is an
important consideration in managing our liquidity risk because
it affects the evaluation of our credit ratings by rating
agencies. Rating agencies may reduce or indicate their intention
to reduce the ratings at any time. See also
Any downgrading of Indias debt rating by
an international rating agency could adversely affect our
business, our liquidity and the price of our equity shares and
ADSs. The rating agencies can also decide to withdraw
their ratings altogether, which may have the same effect as a
reduction in our ratings. Any reduction in our ratings (or
withdrawal of ratings) may increase our borrowing costs, limit
our access to capital markets and adversely affect our ability
to sell or market our products, engage in business transactions,
particularly longer-term and derivatives transactions, or retain
our customers. This, in turn, could reduce our liquidity and
negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.
For more information relating to our ratings, see
Business Risk Management
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk Liquidity Risk.
|
|
|
We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information
about customers and counterparties. |
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other
transactions with customers and counterparties, we may rely on
information furnished to us by or on behalf of customers and
counterparties, including financial statements and other
financial information. We may also rely on certain
representations as to the accuracy and completeness of that
information and, with respect to financial statements, on
reports of independent auditors. For example, in deciding
whether to extend credit, we may assume that a customers
audited financial statements conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows of the customer. Our financial condition and results
of operations could be negatively affected by relying on
financial statements that do not comply with generally accepted
accounting principles or other information that is materially
misleading.
|
|
|
Any inability to attract and retain talented professionals
may adversely impact our business. |
Our business is growing more complex with both product line
expansion into the insurance area and geographic expansion
internationally and via the rural initiatives. This complexity
is happening at the same time as a developing shortage of
skilled management talent both at the highest levels and among
middle management and young professionals in India due to the
rapid growth and globalization of the Indian economy. Our
continued success depends in part on the continued service of
key members of our management team and our ability to continue
to attract, train, motivate and retain highly qualified
professionals is a key element of our strategy and we believe it
to be a significant source of competitive advantage. The
successful implementation of our growth strategy depends on the
availability of skilled management, both at our head office and
at each of our business units and international locations and on
our ability to attract and train young professionals. If we or
one of our business units or other functions fail to staff their
operations appropriately, or lose one or more of our key senior
executives or qualified young professionals and fail to replace
them in a satisfactory and timely manner, our business,
financial condition and results of operations, including our
control and operational risks, may be adversely affected.
Likewise, if we fail to attract and appropriately train,
motivate and retain young professionals or other talent, our
business may likewise be affected. See
Business Employees.
|
|
|
If we are required to change our accounting policies with
respect to the expensing of stock options, our earnings could be
adversely affected. |
Under Indian GAAP, we currently deduct the expense for employee
stock option grants from our income based on the intrinsic value
method and not on the fair value method. Had compensation costs
for our employee stock options been determined in a manner
consistent with the fair value approach, our profit after tax
for fiscal 2007 as reported would have been reduced to the pro
forma amount of Rs. 26.7 billion (US$620 million)
from Rs. 27.6 billion (US$641 million) and for
fiscal 2006 to Rs. 23.7 billion (US$550 million)
from Rs. 24.2 billion (US$562 million).

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates. |
As a financial intermediary we are exposed to exchange rate
risk. See Business Risk Management
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk Exchange Rate Risk. Adverse movements and
volatility in foreign exchange rates may adversely affect our
borrowers, the quality of our exposure to our borrowers and our
business.
Risks Relating to the ADSs and Equity Shares
You will not be able to vote your ADSs and your ability to
withdraw equity shares from the depositary facility is uncertain
and may be subject to delays.
Our ADS holders have no voting rights unlike holders of our
equity shares who have voting rights. For certain information
regarding the voting rights of the equity shares underlying our
ADSs, see Business Shareholding Structure and
Relationship with the Government of India. If you wish,
you may withdraw the equity shares underlying your ADSs and seek
to exercise your voting rights under the equity shares you
obtain from the withdrawal. However, for foreign investors, this
withdrawal process may be subject to delays and is subject to a
cap of 49% on the total shareholding of foreign institutional
investors and non-resident Indians in us. For a discussion of
the legal restrictions triggered by a withdrawal of the equity
shares from the depositary facility upon surrender of ADSs, see
Restriction on Foreign Ownership of Indian
Securities.
|
|
|
Your ability to sell in India any equity shares withdrawn
from the depositary facility, the conversion of rupee proceeds
from such sale into a foreign currency and the repatriation of
such foreign currency may be subject to delays if specific
approval of the Reserve Bank of India is required. |
ADS holders seeking to sell in India any equity shares withdrawn
upon surrender of ADSs, convert the rupee proceeds from such
sale into a foreign currency or repatriate such foreign currency
may need the Reserve Bank of Indias approval for each such
transaction. See Restriction on Foreign Ownership of
Indian Securities. We cannot guarantee that any such
approval will be obtained in a timely manner or at terms
favorable to the investor. Because of possible delays in
obtaining the requisite approvals, investors in equity shares
may be prevented from realizing gains during periods of price
increases or limiting losses during periods of price declines.
|
|
|
Restrictions on deposit of equity shares in the depositary
facility could adversely affect the price of our ADSs. |
Under current Indian regulations, an ADS holder who surrenders
ADSs and withdraws equity shares may deposit those equity shares
again in the depositary facility in exchange for ADSs. An
investor who has purchased equity shares in the Indian market
may also deposit those equity shares in the ADS program.
However, the deposit of equity shares may be subject to
securities law restrictions and the restriction that the
cumulative aggregate number of equity shares that can be
deposited as of any time cannot exceed the cumulative aggregate
number represented by ADSs converted into underlying equity
shares as of such time. These restrictions increase the risk
that the market price of our ADSs will be below that of the
equity shares.
|
|
|
Certain shareholders own a large percentage of our equity
shares and their actions could adversely affect the price of our
equity shares and ADSs. |
Life Insurance Corporation of India and General Insurance
Corporation of India, each of which is directly or indirectly
controlled by the Indian government, are among our principal
shareholders. Our other large shareholders include Allamanda
Investments Pte. Limited, a subsidiary of Temasek Holdings Pte.
Limited, the Government of Singapore, Crown Capital Limited,
CLSA Merchant Bankers Limited and Bajaj Auto Limited, an Indian
private sector company. See Business
Shareholding Structure and Relationship with the Government of
India. Any substantial sale of our equity shares by these
or other large shareholders could adversely affect the price of
our equity shares and ADSs.
S-27
|
|
|
Conditions in the Indian securities market may adversely
affect the price or liquidity of our equity shares and
ADSs. |
The Indian securities markets are smaller and more volatile than
securities markets in developed economies. In the past, the
Indian stock exchanges have experienced high volatility and
other problems that have affected the market price and liquidity
of the listed securities, including temporary exchange closures,
broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. In
March 1995, the Bombay Stock Exchange (the BSE), was
closed for three days following a default by a broker. In March
2001, the BSE dropped 667 points or 15.6% and there were
also rumors of insider trading in the BSE leading to the
resignation of the BSE president and several other members of
the governing board. In the same month, the Kolkata Stock
Exchange suffered a payment crisis when several brokers
defaulted and the exchange invoked guarantees provided by
various Indian banks. In April 2003, the decline in the price of
the equity shares of a leading Indian software company created
volatility in the Indian stock markets and created temporary
concerns regarding our exposure to the equity markets. On
May 17, 2004, the BSE Sensex fell by 565 points from 5,070
to 4,505, creating temporary concerns regarding our exposure to
the equity markets. Both the BSE and the National Stock Exchange
(the NSE) halted trading on the exchanges on
May 17, 2004 in view of the sharp fall in prices of
securities. The Indian securities markets experienced rapid
appreciation during fiscal 2006 but underwent a sharp correction
in May 2006. The markets experienced a recovery thereafter but
have experienced periods of volatility. Further, from time to
time, disputes have arisen between listed companies and stock
exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which in some cases had a
negative effect on market sentiment. In recent years, there have
been changes in laws and regulations for the taxation of
dividend income, which have impacted the Indian equity capital
markets. See Dividends. Similar problems or changes
in the future could adversely affect the market price and
liquidity of our equity shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
An active or liquid trading market for our ADSs is not
assured. |
Although our ADSs are listed and traded on the New York Stock
Exchange, we cannot be certain that an active, liquid market for
our ADSs will be sustained. Indian legal restrictions may limit
the supply of ADSs and a loss of liquidity could increase the
price volatility of our ADSs.
|
|
|
Settlement of trades of equity shares on Indian stock
exchanges may be subject to delays. |
The equity shares represented by the ADSs are currently listed
on the BSE and the NSE. Settlement on those stock exchanges may
be subject to delays and an investor in equity shares withdrawn
from the depositary facility upon surrender of ADSs may not be
able to settle trades on such stock exchanges in a timely manner.
|
|
|
Changes in Indian regulations on foreign ownership, a
change in investor preferences or an increase in the number of
ADSs outstanding could adversely affect the price of our
ADSs. |
ADSs issued by companies in certain emerging markets, including
India, may trade at a discount or a premium to the underlying
equity shares, in part because of the restrictions on foreign
ownership of the underlying equity shares. See Restriction
on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities. Historically,
our ADSs have generally traded at a small premium to the trading
price of our underlying equity shares on the Indian stock
exchanges. See Market Price Information. We believe
that this price premium resulted from the limited portion of our
market capitalization represented by ADSs, restrictions imposed
by Indian law on the conversion of equity shares into ADSs and
an apparent preference among some investors to trade
dollar-denominated securities. In fiscal 2006, we conducted a
US$498 million offering of ADSs which increased the number
of outstanding ADSs and we may conduct similar offerings in the
future. Also, over time, some of the restrictions on the
issuance of ADSs imposed by Indian law have been relaxed. As a
result, any premium enjoyed by the ADSs as compared to the
equity shares may be reduced or eliminated as a result of
offerings made or sponsored by us, changes in Indian law
permitting further conversion of equity shares into ADSs or a
change in investor preferences.
S-28
|
|
|
Your holdings may be diluted by additional issuances of
equity and any dilution may adversely affect the market price of
our equity shares and ADSs. |
We propose to conduct a capital raising exercise comprising a
public offering in India and an ADS offering aggregating
Rs. 201.25 billion (US$4.7 billion). This capital
raising exercise will result in a dilution of your shareholding.
We may conduct additional equity offerings to fund the growth of
our business, including our international operations, our
insurance business or our other subsidiaries. In addition, up to
5.0% of our issued equity shares from time to time, may be
granted in accordance with our Employee Stock Option Scheme. Any
future issuance of equity shares or ADSs or exercise of employee
stock options would dilute the positions of investors in equity
shares and ADSs and could adversely affect the market price of
our equity shares and ADSs.
|
|
|
You may be unable to exercise preemptive rights available
to other shareholders. |
A company incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity
shares preemptive rights to subscribe and pay for a
proportionate number of shares to maintain their existing
ownership percentages prior to the issuance of any new equity
shares, unless these rights have been waived by at least 75.0%
of the companys shareholders present and voting at a
shareholders general meeting. US investors in ADSs may be
unable to exercise these preemptive rights for equity shares
underlying ADSs unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act) is effective with respect to such rights or an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act is available. Our decision to file a registration statement
will depend on the costs and potential liabilities associated
with any such registration as well as the perceived benefits of
enabling US investors in ADSs to exercise their preemptive
rights and any other factors we consider appropriate at such
time. To the extent that investors in ADSs are unable to
exercise preemptive rights, their proportional ownership
interests in us would be reduced.
|
|
|
Because the equity shares underlying the ADSs are quoted
in rupees in India, you may be subject to potential losses
arising out of exchange rate risk on the Indian rupee. |
Investors who purchase ADSs are required to pay for the ADSs in
US dollars and are subject to currency fluctuation risk and
convertibility risks since the equity shares underlying the ADSs
are quoted in rupees on the Indian stock exchanges on which they
are listed. Dividends on the equity shares will also be paid in
rupees and then converted into US dollars for distribution to
ADS investors. Investors who seek to convert the rupee proceeds
of a sale of equity shares withdrawn upon surrender of ADSs into
foreign currency and repatriate the foreign currency may need to
obtain the approval of the Reserve Bank of India for each such
transaction. See also Your ability to sell in
India any equity shares withdrawn from the depositary facility,
the conversion of rupee proceeds from such sale into a foreign
currency and the repatriation of such foreign currency may be
subject to delays if specific approval of the Reserve Bank of
India is required and Exchange Rates.
|
|
|
You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital
gains. |
Generally, capital gains, whether short-term or long-term,
arising on the sale of the underlying equity shares in India are
subject to Indian capital gains tax. Investors are advised to
consult their own tax advisers and to carefully consider the
potential tax consequences of an investment in the ADSs. See
Taxation Indian Taxation.
|
|
|
There may be less company information available in Indian
securities markets than in securities markets in the United
States. |
There is a difference between India and the United States in the
level of regulation and monitoring of the securities markets and
the activities of investors, brokers and other market
participants. The Securities and Exchange Board of India is
responsible for improving disclosure and regulating insider
trading and other matters for the Indian securities markets.
There may, however, be less publicly available information about
Indian companies than is regularly made available by public
companies in the United States.
S-29

|
It may not be possible for you to enforce any judgment
obtained outside India, including in the United States, against
the Company or any of its affiliates in India, except by way of
a suit in India on such judgment. |
The Company is incorporated under the laws of India and all of
its directors and executive officers reside outside the United
States. In addition, all of the Companys assets are
located outside the United States. As a result, you may be
unable to:
|
|
|
|
|
effect service of process upon the Company and other persons or
entities within jurisdictions outside India; or |
|
|
|
enforce, in Indian courts, judgments against the Company and
other persons or entities obtained in courts of jurisdictions
outside India, including judgments predicated upon the civil
liability provisions of the securities laws of jurisdictions
outside India. |
India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in
civil and commercial matters with a limited number of
jurisdictions. In order to be enforceable, a judgment from
certain specified courts located in a jurisdiction with
reciprocity must meet certain requirements of the Indian Code of
Civil Procedure, 1908.
Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have
reciprocal recognition with India cannot be enforced in India.
The United States and India do not currently have a treaty
providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of
judgments (other than arbitration awards) in civil and
commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment
of money rendered by any federal or state court in a
non-reciprocating jurisdiction for civil liability, whether or
not predicated solely upon the general securities laws of the
United States, would not be enforceable in India.
However, the party in whose favor such final judgment is
rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court in India
based on a final judgment that has been obtained in the United
States within three years of obtaining such final judgment. If
and to the extent that Indian courts were of the opinion that
fairness and good faith so required, they would, under current
practice, give binding effect to the final judgment which had
been rendered in the United States, unless such a judgment
contravened principles of Indian public policy. It is unlikely
that an Indian court would award damages on the same basis as a
foreign court if an action is brought in India. Moreover, it is
unlikely that an Indian court would award damages to the extent
awarded in a final judgment rendered in the United States if it
believed that the amount of damages awarded were excessive or
inconsistent with Indian practice. In addition, any person
seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to
obtain the prior approval of the RBI to repatriate any amount
recovered. For more information, see Enforcement of Civil
Liabilities in this Prospectus Supplement.

A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of
the Company because of anti-takeover provisions under Indian
law. |
There are provisions in Indian law that may discourage a third
party from attempting to take control of the Company, even if a
change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity
Shares at a premium to the market price or would otherwise be
beneficial to you. Indian takeover regulations contain certain
provisions that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or
change in control of the Company. Under SEBI (Substantial
Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 1997
(Takeover Code), any person acquiring either
control or an interest (either on his own or
together with parties acting in concert with him) in 15% or more
of the Companys voting Equity Shares must make an open
offer to acquire at least another 20% of its outstanding voting
Equity Shares. A takeover offer to acquire at least another 20%
of the Companys outstanding voting Equity Shares also must
be made if a person (either on his own or together with parties
acting in concert with him) holding between 15% and 55% of the
Companys voting Equity Shares has entered into an
agreement to acquire or decided to acquire additional voting
Equity Shares in any financial year (ending on
March 31) that exceed 5% of the Companys voting
Equity Shares. Any further acquisition of the voting Equity
Shares by any person who holds 55% or more but less than 75% or
90% (in cases where the company has been listed by making an
offer of at least 10% to the public) of the voting Equity Shares
is required to make an open offer to acquire a minimum of 20% of
the voting Equity Shares or
S-30
where the further acquisition is by way of a tender offer, such
number of voting Equity Shares as would not result in the public
shareholding being reduced to less than the minimum specified in
the listing agreement with the Stock Exchanges (within the time
period prescribed therein) to maintain continuous listing. In
addition, an acquirer that seeks to acquire any equity shares or
voting rights which would reduce the public shareholding in a
company to a level below the limits specified in the listing
agreement entered into between the company and the applicable
stock exchange may acquire such equity shares or voting rights
only in accordance with the guidelines and regulations relating
to delisting of securities specified by SEBI. Further, the
government of India regulates foreign ownership in Indian banks
and the Reserve Bank of India has issued guidelines requiring
its acknowledgement for the acquisition of shareholding in
excess of 5.0% in an Indian private sector bank. See
Supervision and Regulation Reserve Bank of

S-31
ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES
ICICI Bank is a limited liability company under the laws of
India. Substantially all of our directors and executive officers
and certain experts named in this prospectus reside outside the
United States, and a substantial portion of our assets and the
assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As
a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of
process upon such persons within the United States or to enforce
against us or such persons in US courts judgments obtained in US
courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to
the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments. We have
been advised by our Indian legal counsel, Amarchand &
Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co., that in
India the statutory basis for recognition of foreign judgments
is found in Section 13 of the Indian Code of Civil
Procedure 1908, or the Civil Code, which provides that a foreign
judgment shall be conclusive as to any matter directly
adjudicated upon except: (i) where the judgment has not
been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction;
(ii) where the judgment has not been given on the merits of
the case; (iii) where the judgment appears on the face of
the proceedings to be founded on an incorrect view of
international law or a refusal to recognize the law of India in
cases where such law is applicable; (iv) where the
proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to
natural justice; (v) where the judgment has been obtained
by fraud; or (vi) where the judgment sustains a claim
founded on a breach of any law in force in India.
Section 44A of the Civil Code provides that where a foreign
judgment has been rendered by a court in any country or
territory outside India which the government of India has by
notification declared to be a reciprocating territory, it may be
enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment
had been rendered by the relevant court in India. The United
States has not been declared by the government of India to be a
reciprocating territory for purposes of Section 44A.
Accordingly, a judgment of a court in the United States may be
enforced in India only by a suit upon the judgment, not by
proceedings in execution. The suit must be brought in India
within three years from the date of the judgment in the same
manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil liability in
India. It is unlikely that a court in India would award damages
on the same basis as a foreign court if an action is brought in
India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court would
enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages
awarded as excessive or inconsistent with Indian practice. A
party seeking to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required
to obtain approval from the Reserve Bank of India under the
Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 to execute such a judgment
or to repatriate any amount recovered. We have also been advised
by our Indian counsel that a party may file suit in India
against us, our directors or our executive officers as an
original action predicated upon the provisions of the federal
securities laws of the United States.
S-32
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for future
asset growth and compliance with regulatory requirements. The
objects of the offering are to augment our capital base to meet
the capital requirements arising out of growth in our assets,
primarily our loan and investment portfolio due to the growth of
the Indian economy, compliance with regulatory requirements and
for other general corporate purposes including meeting the
expenses of the ADS offering.
S-33
EXCHANGE RATES
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and
the US dollar will affect the US dollar equivalent of the
Indian rupee price of our equity shares on the Indian stock
exchanges and, as a result, will affect the market price of our
ADSs in the United States. These fluctuations will also affect
the conversion into US dollars by the depositary of any
cash dividends paid in Indian rupees on our equity shares
represented by ADSs.
In early July 1991, the government adjusted the Indian rupee
downward by an aggregate of approximately 20.0% against the
US dollar. The adjustment was effected as part of an
economic package designed to overcome economic and foreign
exchange problems. After the Indian rupee was made convertible
on the current account in March 1993, it depreciated on an
average annual basis at a rate of approximately
5-6%. During fiscal
2004, the rupee appreciated against the US dollar, from
Rs. 47.53 per US$1.00 at March 31, 2003 to
Rs. 43.40 per US$1.00 at March 31, 2004. The
rupee depreciated against the US dollar by 0.5% during
fiscal 2005 and by 2.0% during fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2007,
the rupee appreciated against the US dollar by 3.1%, moving
from Rs. 44.48 per US$1.00 at March 31, 2006 to
Rs. 43.10 per US$1.00 at March 30, 2007. During
fiscal 2008 (through June 22, 2007), the rupee appreciated
against the US dollar by 5.9% moving from
Rs. 43.10 per US$1.00 at March 30, 2007 to
Rs. 40.55 at June 22, 2007. The following table sets
forth, for the periods indicated, certain information concerning
the exchange rates between Indian rupees and US dollars based on
the noon buying rate.

Although certain rupee amounts in this prospectus supplement
have been translated into US dollars for convenience, this
does not mean that the rupee amounts referred to could have
been, or could be, converted into US dollars at any
particular rate, the rates stated below, or at all. Except in
the section on Market Price Information, all
translations from rupees to US dollars are based on the
noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers in
rupees at March 30, 2007. The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York certifies this rate for customs purposes on each date the
rate is given. The noon buying rate at March 30, 2007 was
Rs. 43.10 per US$1.00 and at June 22, 2007 was
Rs. 40.55 per US$1.00.
S-34
DIVIDENDS
Under Indian law, a company pays dividends upon a recommendation
by its Board of Directors and approval by a majority of the
shareholders at the annual general meeting of shareholders held
within six months of the end of each fiscal year. The
shareholders have the right to decrease but not increase the
dividend amount recommended by the Board of Directors. Dividends
may be paid out of the companys profits for the fiscal
year in which the dividend is declared or out of undistributed
profits of prior fiscal years. Dividends can also be paid by a
company in the interim, termed interim dividend
which does not require the approval of the shareholders unless
it is combined with the final dividend being recommended by the
board of directors. The Reserve Bank of India has stipulated
that banks may declare and pay interim dividend out of the
profits from the relevant accounting period, without prior
approval of the Reserve Bank of India if they satisfy the
minimum criteria and requirements and the cumulative interim
dividend(s) are within the prudential cap on dividend payout
ratio prescribed in the guidelines issued in this regard by the
Reserve Bank of India. See also Supervision and
Regulation Reserve Bank of India
Regulations Restrictions on Payment of
Dividends in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11, 2007, as
amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus.
Pursuant to guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange
Board of India in February 2000, with respect to equity shares
issued by us during a particular fiscal year, dividends declared
and paid for such fiscal year are paid in full and are no longer
prorated from the date of issuance to the end of such fiscal
year.
ICICI Bank paid dividends consistently every year from fiscal
1996, the second year of its operations. For fiscal 2003, we
paid a dividend, excluding dividend tax, of Rs. 7.50
(US$0.17) per equity share aggregating to
Rs. 4.6 billion (US$107 million) which was paid
in fiscal 2004. For fiscal 2004, we paid a dividend, excluding
dividend tax, of Rs. 7.50 (US$0.17) per equity share
aggregating to Rs. 5.5 billion (US$128 million).
The amount of Rs. 5.5 billion (US$128 million)
excludes the impact of the issue of 6,992,187 equity shares on
May 24, 2004 through the exercise of the greenshoe option
in the issue of equity shares in April 2004. The dividend for
fiscal 2004 was paid in fiscal 2005. For fiscal 2005, we paid a
dividend, excluding dividend tax, of Rs. 7.50 (US$0.17) per
equity share and a special dividend, excluding dividend tax, of
Rs. 1.00 (US$0.02) per equity share to mark the completion
of 50 years in finance by ICICI group aggregating to
Rs. 6.3 billion (US$146 million), which we paid
out in August 2005. For fiscal 2006, we paid a dividend,
excluding dividend tax, of Rs. 8.50 (US$0.19) per equity
share aggregating to Rs. 7.6 billion
(US$176 million), which we paid out in July 2006. For
fiscal 2007, our board of directors has recommended a dividend,
excluding dividend tax, of Rs. 10.00 (US$0.23) per equity
share aggregating to Rs. 9.0 billion
(US$209 million). This is subject to the approval of our
shareholders at the annual general meeting scheduled on
July 21, 2007.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
dividend per equity share and the total amount of dividends paid
out on the equity shares during the fiscal year by ICICI Bank,
each exclusive of dividend tax. This may be different from the
dividend declared for the year.

Proposed. Dividend will be paid to shareholders who were
shareholders of record as of June 15, 2007 (including on
shares held in physical form where valid transfer instruments
have been lodged with us as of that date). |
S-35
Dividend income is tax-exempt in the hands of shareholders.
However, we are required to pay a tax on distributed profits. We
were required to pay a 14.025% tax (including surcharge) on
distributed profits in fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2008, we are
required to pay a 16.995% tax (including surcharge) on
distributed profits.
Future dividends will depend upon our revenues, cash flow,
financial condition, the regulations of the Reserve Bank of
India and other factors. Owners of ADSs will be entitled to
receive dividends payable in respect of the equity shares
represented by such ADSs. The equity shares represented by ADSs
rank pari passu with existing equity shares. At present,
we have equity shares issued in India and equity shares
represented by ADSs.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with our
audited consolidated financial statements. The following
discussion is based on our audited consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes prepared in accordance with
Indian GAAP, which varies in certain significant respects from
US GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income and
stockholders equity to US GAAP, a description of
significant differences between Indian GAAP and US GAAP and
certain additional information required under US GAAP, see
notes 21 and 22 to our consolidated financial statements
included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11, 2007, as
amended by Form 20-F/A filed on June 13, 2007 which is
incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus.
Introduction
Our loan portfolio, financial condition and results of
operations have been, and in the future, are expected to be
influenced by economic conditions in India and certain global
developments, particularly in commodity prices relating to the
business activities of our corporate customers and by economic
conditions in the United States and other countries influencing
inflation and interest rates in India. For ease of understanding
the discussion of our results of operations that follows, you
should consider the introductory discussion of these
macroeconomic factors, the description of certain major events
affecting our results and financial condition and other key
factors.
Indian Economy
India has had an average GDP growth rate of around 8.7% in
fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007. GDP growth was 7.5% in fiscal
2005, 9.0% in fiscal 2006 and 9.4% in fiscal 2007. The continued
momentum in growth has been primarily due to the resurgence of
the industrial sector and sustained growth of the services
sector. The agricultural sector, which had registered a growth
of 6.0% in fiscal 2006, grew by 2.7% in fiscal 2007. The
industrial sector grew by 8.4% in fiscal 2005, 8.0% in fiscal
2006 and 11.0% in fiscal 2007. Industrial growth during this
period was supported primarily by sustained growth in
manufacturing activities. The services sector grew by 10.0% in
fiscal 2005, 10.3% in fiscal 2006 and 11.0% in fiscal 2007.
During fiscal 2007, there was an increase in inflationary trends
in India, primarily due to the increase in prices of primary
articles as well as the increase in oil prices over the last few
years. See also Risk Factors Risks Relating to
India A significant increase in the price of crude
oil could adversely affect the Indian economy, which could
adversely affect our business. The annual average rate of
inflation measured by the Wholesale Price Index was 5.4% during
fiscal 2007 compared to 4.4% during the previous year. The
average annual rate of inflation increased to 5.3% during fiscal
2008 (through May 12, 2007) from 4.6% during the
corresponding period in the previous year. In its annual policy
statement for fiscal 2008 issued on April 24, 2007, the
Reserve Bank of India has forecast GDP growth for fiscal 2008 at
around 8.5% and inflation at about 5.0%. The Reserve Bank of
Indias medium-term policy objective is to contain
inflation in the range of 4.0%-4.5% over the medium term.
During fiscal 2007, the Indian rupee appreciated by 2.3% against
the US dollar. The rupee depreciated against the pound sterling,
euro and against the Japanese yen. The Indian rupee appreciated
by 6.4% against the US dollar during fiscal 2008 through
May 31, 2007, moving from Rs. 43.10 per US$1.00
at year-end fiscal 2007 to Rs. 40.36 per US$1.00 on
May 31, 2007. Foreign exchange reserves were approximately
US$204 billion at May 18, 2007.
The impact of these and other factors and the overall growth in
industry, agriculture and services during fiscal 2008 will
affect the performance of the banking sector as it will affect
the level of credit disbursed by banks, and the overall growth
prospects of our business, including our ability to grow, the
quality of our assets, the value of our investment portfolio and
our ability to implement our strategy.
S-40
Banking Sector
According to the Reserve Bank of Indias data, total
deposits of all scheduled commercial banks increased by 14.3% in
fiscal 2005, 17.6% in fiscal 2006 and 24.2% in fiscal 2007. Bank
credit of scheduled commercial banks grew by 30.9% in fiscal
2005, 30.8% in fiscal 2006 and 27.6% in fiscal 2007. The
increase in credit growth during fiscal 2007 was driven by the
continued growth in retail credit and credit to industry. Credit
to industry constituted 35.3% of the total expansion in non-food
credit during fiscal 2007.
Until fiscal 2005, there was a downward movement in interest
rates, barring intra-year periods when interest rates were
higher temporarily due to extraneous circumstances. This
movement was principally due to the Reserve Bank of Indias
policy of assuring adequate liquidity in the banking system and
generally lowering the rate at which it would lend to Indian
banks to ensure that borrowers had access to funding at
competitive rates. Banks generally followed the direction of
interest rates set by the Reserve Bank of India and adjusted
both their deposit rates and lending rates downwards until
fiscal 2005. The inflationary trends since fiscal 2005 resulted
in a change in the monetary policy stance. In response to
inflationary pressures in the economy, the Reserve Bank of India
increased the cash reserve ratio by 150 basis points, from
5.0% to 6.5%, between December 2006 and April 2007. The Reserve
Bank of India increased the reverse repo rate (i.e., the
annualized interest earned by the lender in a repurchase
transaction between a bank and the Reserve Bank of India) six
times by 25 basis points each time resulting in the reverse
repo rate increasing from 4.5% to 6.0% between October 2004 and
July 2006. Between January 2006 and April 2007 the Reserve Bank
of India also increased the repo rate six times by 25 basis
points each time to 7.75%. As a result of these increases, banks
have also raised their deposit and lending rates. The following
table sets forth the bank rate and the reverse repo rate for the
last six fiscal years.

The Reserve Bank of India has also instituted several prudential
measures to moderate credit growth including increase in risk
weights for capital adequacy computation and general
provisioning for various asset classes. See also Overview
of the Indian Financial Sector Credit Policy
Measures in our annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus.
Major Events Affecting Results and Financial Condition
Since 2002, we have experienced major changes and developments
in our business and strategy. An understanding of these events
and developments is necessary for an understanding of the
periods under review and the discussion and analysis which
follows. These changes are reflected in our financial statements
in connection with or since the amalgamation of ICICI Limited
into ICICI Bank. The first change reflects the impact of our
history upon our average cost of funds. Consequent to the
amalgamation, the businesses formerly conducted by ICICI became
subject to the various regulations applicable to banks. These
include the statutory liquidity ratio, which is required to be
maintained in the form of government of India securities and
other approved securities. The minimum statutory liquidity ratio
is currently 25.0% of our net demand and time liabilities
excluding inter-bank deposits. While we have benefited from the
lower cost of funding as a bank as compared to ICICI as a
non-bank financial institution, the imposition of the statutory
liquidity ratio and the cash reserve ratio on the liabilities
taken over from ICICI have impacted our spread. As the average
yield on investments in government of India securities and cash
balances maintained with the Reserve Bank
S-41
of India is typically lower than the yield on other
interest-earning securities, our net interest margin has been
adversely impacted. Further, interest payments on balances held
under the cash reserve ratio have been discontinued with effect
from April 13, 2007. This is expected to adversely impact
our net interest margin. We are expanding our deposit base and
changing the mix of our liabilities towards the lower average
cost deposit liabilities. Our net interest margin has been and
is expected to continue to be lower than other banks in India
until we increase the proportion of retail deposits and low-cost
deposits in our total deposits. The increase in investment in
government securities has substantially increased our exposure
to market risk. A rise in interest rates would cause the value
of our fixed income portfolio to decline and adversely affect
the income from our treasury operations. See also Risk
Factors Risks Relating to Our Business
Our banking and trading activities are particularly vulnerable
to interest rate risk and volatility in interest rates could
adversely affect our net interest margin, the value of our fixed
income portfolio, our income from treasury operations, the
quality of our loan portfolio and our financial
performance.
The second key change reflects the implementation of our
strategy to grow our retail loan portfolio. The results of our
implementation of this strategy can be seen in the rapid growth
in the retail loan portfolio. Recently we have experienced rapid
growth in the portfolio of non-collateralized retail loans,
including unsecured personal loans. See also
Business Loan Portfolio. While the rate
of growth of our retail loans has moderated due to the high base
effect and the increase in interest rates and real estate
prices, and we cannot guarantee that growth will continue at the
same rate, we see continued significant demand for retail loans.
We believe that the rural markets are the next horizon of growth
for the Indian economy and for us. We have formulated a
comprehensive strategy for the rural, business, encompassing
products and channels, with the twin objectives of meeting the
needs of the rural economy while building a sustainable business
model.
Third, in connection with the amalgamation, we recorded the
loans and investments acquired from ICICI at fair values which
represented a substantial write down of the value of those
assets as compared to their value on the balance sheet of ICICI.
The fair value of the assets was determined based on our
judgment which we made with the assistance of independent
valuation specialists. The key areas of fair valuation included
loans and all credit substitutes which were fair valued by
valuation specialists and investments (including investments in
venture capital funds) which were marked to market in accordance
with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines applicable to banks.
The assets of ICICI were first reflected on our balance sheet at
March 31, 2002 after taking into account these fair value
write downs.
Fourth, since the amalgamation we have established operations
outside India, with subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Canada
and Russia, and branches and representative offices in several
countries. We offer retail banking products and services
including remittance services across these markets, primarily to
non-resident Indians. We deliver products and services to our
corporate clients, including foreign currency financing for
projects in India and cross-border acquisition financing,
through these subsidiaries and branches. In Canada and United
Kingdom, we have also launched direct banking offerings using
the Internet as the access channel. We have invested in the
equity capital of our international banking subsidiaries to
support their growth.
Fifth, since the amalgamation, our subsidiaries engaged in the
insurance business, ICICI Prudential life Insurance Company
Limited and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited,
have experienced rapid growth in business. We have invested in
the equity capital of our insurance subsidiaries to support
their growth. Our life insurance subsidiary continues to report
losses in its financial statements, which are reflected in our
consolidated financial statements. See also
Business Insurance.
All of these changes or developments have had a major impact
upon our results of operations and financial condition and are
critical to an understanding of our discussion which follows.
Under Indian GAAP, we have not consolidated certain entities
(primarily 3i Infotech Limited and Firstsource Solutions
Limited) in which control is intended to be temporary. However
under US GAAP, these entities have been accounted for in
accordance with Opinion No. 18 of the Accounting Principles
Board on
S-42
The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments on Common
Stock. Until March 31, 2006, these entities were
consolidated in accordance with SFAS No. 94 on
Consolidation of majority owned subsidiaries which
requires consolidation of such entities. See also
Business Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures.
Till fiscal 2004, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company
Limited and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited have
been accounted as joint ventures using the proportionate
consolidation method as prescribed by Accounting Standard 27 on
Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Therefore, our consolidated financial statements for fiscal
years upto and including fiscal 2004 include a 74% share
(i.e., ICICI Banks share in each of the two joint
ventures) of each line item reflected in the financial
statements of these two entities. From fiscal 2005 onwards,
these two entities have been accounted for on the basis of
principles set out in Accounting Standard 21 on
Consolidated Financial Statements issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as required by the
revision in Accounting Standard 27. Therefore, from fiscal 2005
our consolidated financial statements include 100% of each line
item reflected in the financial statements of these two entities
with a separate disclosure for minority interest. Hence, the
income statement and balance sheet for fiscal 2005, fiscal 2006
and fiscal 2007 are not comparable with the income statement and
balance sheet for fiscal 2004 and prior years with respect to
the incorporation of the income statement and balance sheet of
our insurance subsidiaries in our financial statements.
|
|
|
Effect of Other Acquisitions |
In fiscal 2004, we acquired 100.0% ownership interest in
Transamerica Apple Distribution Finance Private Limited for a
cash consideration of Rs. 757 million
(US$17 million). In fiscal 2006, we acquired 100.0%
ownership interest in Investitsionno-Kreditny Bank, a Russian
bank with total assets of approximately US$4 million at
year-end fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2006 we also acquired an
additional stake of 6% in Prudential ICICI Asset Management
Company Limited as well as Prudential
ICICI Trust Limited. Subsequent to these acquisitions
both companies have become our subsidiaries. During fiscal 2007,
the board of directors of ICICI Bank Limited and the board
of directors of the Sangli Bank Limited (Sangli
Bank) at their respective meetings, approved an all-stock
amalgamation of Sangli Bank with ICICI Bank at a share
exchange ratio of 100 shares of ICICI Bank for
925 shares of Sangli Bank. The shareholders of both banks
approved the scheme in their extra-ordinary general meetings.
The Reserve Bank of India has sanctioned the scheme of
amalgamation with effect from April 19, 2007 under
sub-section (4) of section 44A of the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949. Sangli Bank was an old private sector
Indian bank. At the year ended March 31, 2006, Sangli Bank
had total assets of Rs. 21.5 billion
(US$499 million), deposits of Rs. 20.0 billion
(US$465 million), loans of Rs. 8.9 billion
(US$206 million) and capital adequacy of 1.6%. During
fiscal 2006, it incurred a loss of Rs. 292.7 million
(US$7 million). The financial statements for fiscal 2008
would include the results of the operations of Sangli Bank from
April 19, 2007. The values of these transactions were not
material to our overall operations.
The average balances for a fiscal year are the average of
quarterly balances outstanding at the end of March of the
previous fiscal year and June, September, December and March of
that year. The average yield on average interest-earning assets
is the ratio of interest income to average interest-earning
assets. The average cost of average interest-bearing liabilities
is the ratio of interest expense to average interest-bearing
liabilities. The average balances of advances include
non-performing advances and are net of allowance for loan
losses. We have not recalculated tax-exempt income on a
tax-equivalent basis because we believe that the effect of doing
so would not be significant.
S-43
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
average balances of the assets and liabilities outstanding,
which are major components of interest income, interest expense
and net interest income.

Spread is the difference between yield on average
interest-earning assets
and cost of average
interest-bearing
liabilities. Yield on average
interest-earning assets
is the ratio of interest income to average
interest-earning
assets. Cost of average
interest-bearing
liabilities is the ratio of interest expense to average
interest-bearing
liabilities. |
|
(2) |
Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to
average
interest-earning
assets. The difference in net interest margin and spread arises
due to the difference in amount of average
interest-earning assets
and average
interest-bearing
liabilities. If average
interest-earning assets
exceed average
interest-bearing
liabilities, net interest margin is greater than the spread and
if average
interest-bearing
liabilities exceed average
interest-earning
assets, net interest margin is less than the spread. |
Fiscal 2007 to Fiscal 2006
Net profit increased by 14.1% to Rs. 27.6 billion
(US$641 million) for fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 24.2 billion (US$562 million) for fiscal
2006, primarily due to a 45.5% increase in net interest income
and a 72.6% increase in
non-interest income,
offset in part, by a 70.4% increase in
non-interest expenses
and a significant increase of Rs. 14.3 billion
(US$332 million) in provisions due to higher provisions
created on standard assets, higher specific provisions against
retail non-performing
loans and lower level of
write-backs.
Net interest income increased by 45.5% to
Rs. 73.3 billion (US$1.7 billion) for fiscal 2007
from Rs. 50.3 billion (US$1.2 billion) for fiscal
2006, reflecting an increase of 51.0% in the average volume of
interest-earning assets.
Non-interest income increased by 72.6% to
Rs. 163.6 billion (US$3.8 billion) for fiscal
2007 from Rs. 94.8 billion (US$2.2 billion) for
fiscal 2006 primarily due to a 87.6% increase in income from
insurance business and 67.3% increase in commission, exchange
and brokerage.
Non-interest expense increased by 70.4% to
Rs. 180.1 billion (US$4.2 billion) for fiscal
2007 from Rs. 105.7 billion (US$2.5 billion) in
fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase of 92.1% in expenses
pertaining to insurance business, 54.1% in employee expenses and
82.9% in other administrative expenses.
Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax)
increased to Rs. 22.8 billion (US$528 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 8.5 billion (US$196 million)
in fiscal 2006 primarily due to higher provisions created on
standard assets, in accordance with the revised guidelines
issued by the Reserve Bank of India, a higher level of specific
provisioning on retail loans due to change in the portfolio mix
towards
non-collateralized
loans and seasoning of the retail loan portfolio, and lower
level of write-backs.
Gross restructured loans decreased by 9.1% to
Rs. 50.4 billion (US$1.2 billion) at
year-end fiscal 2007
from Rs. 55.5 billion (US$1.3 billion) at
year-end fiscal 2006
primarily due to transfer of certain loans to an asset
reconstruction company, on being classified as
non-performing. Gross
non-performing assets
increased by 84.3% to Rs. 42.6 billion
(US$988 million) at
year-end fiscal 2007
from Rs. 23.1 billion (US$536 million)
S-47
at year-end fiscal 2006 primarily due to increase in retail
non-performing loans
due to change in the portfolio mix towards
non-collateralized
loans and seasoning of the retail loan portfolio.
Total assets increased by 42.2% to Rs. 3,943.3 billion
(US$91.5 billion) at
year-end fiscal 2007
compared to Rs. 2,772.3 billion (US$64.3 billion)
at year-end fiscal 2006
primarily due to an increase of 35.3% in loans and 43.6% in
investments.

Net interest income increased by 45.5% to
Rs. 73.3 billion (US$1.7 billion) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 50.3 billion (US$1.2 billion) in fiscal
2006 reflecting mainly the following:
|
|
|
|
|
an increase of Rs. 921.9 billion
(US$21.4 billion) or 51.0% in the average volume of
interest-earning
assets; and |
|
|
|
net interest margin of 2.7% in fiscal 2007 compared to 2.8% in
fiscal 2006. |
In February 2006, the Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines on
accounting for securitization of standard assets. In accordance
with these guidelines, with effect from February 1, 2006,
we account for any loss on securitization immediately at the
time of sale and the profit/premium arising on account of
securitization is amortized over the life of the asset. Prior to
February 1, 2006, profit arising on account of
securitization was recorded at the time of sale. Interest income
for fiscal 2007 reflected a loss from
sell-down of loans as
compared to a gain accounting for approximately 9.1% of net
interest income in fiscal 2006, due to the impact of these
guidelines requiring amortization of profit on securitization
from February 1, 2006 and the prevailing liquidity and
interest rate scenario.
We use marketing agents, called direct marketing agents or
associates, for sourcing our automobile loans. Until fiscal
2006, we deducted commission paid to direct marketing agents of
automobile loans from interest income. For fiscal 2007, we have
reported all direct marketing agency expenses, on automobile
loans and other retail loans separately under
non-interest
expense. These commissions are expensed upfront and not
amortized over the life of the loan. Necessary
re-classifications have
been made for the prior years.
The average volume of interest-earning assets increased by 51.0%
or Rs. 921.9 billion (US$21.4 billion) to
Rs. 2,728.5 billion (US$63.4 billion) during
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 1,806.6 billion
(US$41.9 billion) during fiscal 2006, primarily due to an
increase in average advances by Rs. 563.6 billion
(US$13.1 billion) and an increase in average investments by
Rs. 272.2 billion (US$6.3 billion). Average
advances increased by 47.0% to Rs. 1,763.9 billion
(US$40.9 billion) in fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 1,200.3 billion (US$27.9 billion) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to increased disbursements of retail finance
loans offset, in part, by the
sell-down/
securitization and repayments of loans. The average volume of
interest-earning
foreign currency assets increased by 90.7% to
Rs. 525.0 billion (US$12.2 billion) during fiscal
2007 from Rs. 275.3 billion (US$6.4 billion)
during fiscal 2006 primarily due to increased business volumes
of our international branches and banking subsidiaries.
Interest income increased by 65.2% to
Rs. 250.0 billion (US$5.8 billion) for fiscal
2007 from Rs. 151.4 billion (US$3.5 billion) for
fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase of 51.0% in the average
volume of total
interest-earning assets
to Rs. 2,728.5 billion (US$63.4 billion) during
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 1,806.6 billion
(US$41.9 billion) during fiscal 2006. The overall yield on
average interest-earning assets
S-48
increased to 9.2% for fiscal 2007 from 8.4% for fiscal 2006
primarily due to increase in yield on advances to 9.6% for
fiscal 2007 from 8.9% for fiscal 2006 and increase in yield on
investments to 8.7% for fiscal 2007 from 7.9% for fiscal 2006.
The yield on advances has increased despite the significant
decline in income from sell-down of loans due to an increase in
lending rates in line with the general increase in interest
rates and increase in the volumes of certain high yielding loan
products. The ICICI Bank Benchmark Advance Rate (ICICI
Banks prime lending rate) has increased by 300 basis
points during fiscal 2007. Our reference rate for floating rate
home loans has increased by 350 basis points during the
same period. The yield on average earning investments increased
primarily due to an increase in the yield on average government
securities by 80 basis points to 8.5% in fiscal 2007 from
7.7% in fiscal 2006.
Total interest expense increased by 75.0% to
Rs. 176.8 billion (US$4.1 billion) during fiscal
2007 from Rs. 101.0 billion (US$2.3 billion)
during fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase of 50.8% in
average interest-bearing liabilities to
Rs. 2,707.5 billion (US$62.8 billion) in fiscal
2007 from Rs. 1,795.2 billion (US$41.6 billion)
in fiscal 2006. Average deposits, with an average cost of 6.2%
for fiscal 2007, constituted 74.4% of total average
interest-bearing
liabilities compared to 69.9% of the total average
interest-bearing
liabilities with a cost of 4.8% for fiscal 2006. Our cost of
deposits has increased by 1.4% to 6.2% in fiscal 2007 from 4.8%
in fiscal 2006 consequent to general increase in interest rates
reflecting tight systemic liquidity scenario, particularly in
the second half of fiscal 2007 and resulting in an increase in
deposit rates for retail and other customers. The average cost
of total borrowings including subordinated debt decreased to
7.5% in fiscal 2007 from 7.7% in fiscal 2006 primarily due to
increase in foreign currency borrowings and repayment of high
cost borrowings of ICICI.
As a result of the higher cost of funds and decrease in the
gains on securitization/ sell down of assets, net interest
margin decreased to 2.7% in fiscal 2007 from 2.8% in fiscal
2006. Net interest margin is expected to continue to be lower
than other banks in India until we increase the proportion of
retail deposits including low cost deposits in our total
funding. The net interest margin is also impacted by the
relatively lower net interest margin earned by our foreign
branches, which is offset by the higher fee income that we are
able to earn by leveraging our international presence and our
ability to meet the foreign currency borrowing requirements of
Indian companies.
Interest rates in the banking system have continually increased
over the last two years. As our liabilities, in general,
re-price faster than
our assets, our net interest income is adversely impacted in a
rising interest rate scenario. During the last quarter of fiscal
2007, the Indian markets experienced volatility and sharp
increases in interest rates and we experienced a sharp increase
in our funding costs, which may adversely impact our net
interest margin during fiscal 2008 until the yield on our
interest-earning assets
also increases to offset the increase in funding costs. Further,
it cannot be assured that we would be able to pass through all
the increases in our funding costs to our lending customers. Any
failure to pass the higher funding costs completely to our
customers would adversely impact our net interest margin. Higher
interest rates would also impact our fixed income trading and
other investment portfolio adversely. See also Risk
Factors Our banking and trading activities are
particularly vulnerable to interest rate risk and volatility in
interest rates could adversely affect our net interest margin,
the value of our fixed income portfolio, our income from
treasury operations, the quality of our loan portfolio and our
financial performance. and Business Risk
Management Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures
About Market Risk.
The Reserve Bank of India has increased the cash reserve ratio
requirement for banks from 5.0% at the beginning of fiscal 2007
to 6.5% currently. Further effective April 13, 2007 the
Reserve Bank of India has discontinued the interest payment on
the balances maintained under the cash reserve ratio
requirement. As a result, during fiscal 2008 and subsequent
years we would earn no interest income on the cash reserve ratio
requirement of 6.5% of net demand and time liabilities
maintained in the form of balances with the Reserve Bank of
India as compared to interest income of 1.4% on the lower cash
reserve ratio requirement during fiscal 2007 This will adversely
impact our net interest income and net interest margin in fiscal
2008.

The amount of premium ceded on re-insurance has been
reclassified from expenses pertaining to insurance business and
netted off from non-interest income. |
Non-interest income increased by 72.6% for fiscal 2007 to
Rs. 163.6 billion (US$3.8 billion) from
Rs. 94.8 billion (US$2.2 billion) for fiscal 2006
primarily due to a 67.3% increase in commission, exchange and
brokerage to Rs. 54.4 billion (US$1.3 billion) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 32.5 billion
(US$755 million) in fiscal 2006 and a 87.6% increase in
income pertaining to insurance business to
Rs. 95.1 billion (US$2.2 billion) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 50.7 billion (US$1.2 billion) in fiscal
2006.
Commission, exchange and brokerage increased by 67.3% to
Rs. 54.4 billion (US$1.2 billion) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 32.5 billion (US$755 million) primarily
due to growth in fee income from retail products and services,
including fee arising from retail asset products and credit
cards, retail liability related fee income like account
servicing charges, third party distribution fees and fees from
small enterprise customers. Fees from commercial banking
operations for corporate and international customers also
witnessed strong growth. Commission, exchange and brokerage of
our UK subsidiary increased by 61.4% to
Rs. 1.7 billion (US$40 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 1.1 billion (US$25 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to increase in fees from structuring and
syndication of financing transactions. Commission, exchange and
brokerage of our investment banking subsidiary increased to
Rs. 6.7 billion (US$155 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 3.0 billion (US$70 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to increase in the advisory fees and the
income of ICICI Web Trade Limited which was amalgamated with our
investment banking subsidiary with effect from April 1,
2006.
Profit on sale of investments increased by 28.0% to
Rs. 14.1 billion (US$326 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 11.0 billion (US$255 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to higher level of gains from equity
divestments, offset in part by lower profits on proprietary
trading as a result of the sharp fall in the equity markets in
May 2006 and adverse conditions in debt markets. The net loss on
revaluation of investments was Rs. 11.8 billion
(US$273 million) in fiscal 2007 as compared to
Rs. 8.5 billion (US$198 million) in fiscal 2006
primarily due to amortization of premium on government
securities which was earlier classified as provisions and
contingencies. This
re-classification is in
accordance with the revised guidelines of the Reserve Bank of
India issued on April 20, 2007. Income from foreign
exchange transaction includes income from derivatives reflecting
primarily the transactions undertaken with customers by us and
hedged in the
inter-bank market, and
income from merchant foreign exchange transactions. Income from
foreign exchange transactions increased by 89.5% to
Rs. 8.4 billion (US$196 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 4.5 billion (US$103 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to increase in the volumes of the foreign
exchange transactions, including the derivative transactions
undertaken with customers by us and hedged in the
inter-bank market.
S-50
Income pertaining to insurance business representing premium
income of our life and general insurance subsidiaries increased
by 87.6% to Rs. 95.1 billion (US$2.2 billion) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 50.7 billion
(US$1.2 billion) in fiscal 2006. The income pertaining to
insurance business includes Rs. 81.4 billion
(US$1.9 billion) from our life insurance business and
Rs. 13.7 billion (US$318 million) net written
premium from our general insurance business. The new business
premium of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited
increased by 98.4% to Rs. 51.6 billion
(US$1.2 billion) in fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 26.0 billion (US$604 million) in fiscal 2006.
The gross written premium of ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company Limited increased by 88.7% to Rs. 30.0 billion
(US$697 million) in fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 15.9 billion (US$369 million) in fiscal 2006.
We recognize life insurance premium as income when due. Premium
on lapsed policies is recognized as income when such policies
are reinstated. General insurance premium is recognized as
income over the period of risks or the contract period. Any
subsequent revision to premium is recognized over the remaining
period of risks or contract period.
Miscellaneous income declined by 34.6% to
Rs. 3.0 billion (US$70 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 4.6 billion (US$106 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to decline in lease income by 34.0% to
Rs. 2.4 billion (US$56 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 3.6 billion (US$84 million) in fiscal
2006.

The amount of premium ceded on re-insurance has been
reclassified from expenses pertaining to insurance business and
netted off from non-interest income. |
Non-interest expense increased by 70.4% to
Rs. 180.1 billion (US$4.2 billion) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 105.7 billion (US$2.5 billion) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to an increase of 92.1% in expenses
pertaining to the insurance business, increase of 54.1% in
employee expenses and 82.9% increase in other administrative
expenses.
Employee expenses increased by 54.1% to
Rs. 26.4 billion (US$612 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 17.1 billion (US$397 million) in fiscal
2006, primarily due to 47.4% increase in the number of
employees. The employee expenses for ICICI Bank increased by
49.4% to Rs. 16.2 billion (US$612 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 10.8 billion
(US$397 million) in fiscal 2006 primarily due to a 31.3%
increase in the number of employees to 33,321 at year-end fiscal
2007 from 25,384 at year-end fiscal 2006 and annual increase in
the salaries and higher cost due to monetization of benefits on
loan facilities available to employees at concessional rates of
interests and other employee benefits. The employee expenses for
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company increased by 78.2% to
Rs. 5.2 billion (US$121 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 2.9 billion (US$68 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to a 111.8% increase in number of employees
to 16,317 at year-end fiscal 2007 from 7,704 at year-end fiscal
2006. The employee expenses for
S-51
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company increased by 103.1% to
Rs. 2.4 billion (US$57 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 1.2 billion (US$28 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to a 108.9% increase in number of employees
to 4,770 at year-end fiscal 2007 from 2,283 at year-end fiscal
2006. The increase in employees was commensurate with the growth
in businesses.
Other administrative expenses increased by 82.9% to
Rs. 48.6 billion (US$1.1 billion) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 26.6 billion (US$616 million) in fiscal
2006 primarily due to the increased volume of business,
particularly in retail business and include maintenance of ATMs,
credit card related expenses, call center expenses and
technology expenses. The number of branches (excluding foreign
branches and offshore banking units) and extension counters
increased to 755 at year-end fiscal 2007 from 614 at year-end
fiscal 2006. The number of ATMs increased to 3,271 at year-end
fiscal 2007 from 2,200 at year-end fiscal 2006. The number of
branches and offices of our insurance subsidiaries increased to
803 at year-end fiscal 2007 from 463 at year-end fiscal 2006.
Direct marketing agency expenses increased by 31.0% to
Rs. 15.6 billion (US$362 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 11.9 billion (US$276 million) in fiscal
2006 in line with the growth in our business volumes. We use
marketing agents, called direct marketing agents or associates,
for sourcing our retail assets. We include commissions paid to
these direct marketing agents of our retail assets in
non-interest expense. These commissions are expensed upfront and
not amortized over the life of the loan.
Expenses pertaining to insurance business, representing
provisions for claims, contribution to linked business,
commissions paid and reserving for actuarial liability increased
by 92.1% to Rs. 83.4 billion (US$1.9 billion) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 43.4 billion
(US$1.0 billion) in fiscal 2006 primarily due to higher
business levels in fiscal 2007. The provisions for claims are
determined based on actuarial valuation. In line with accounting
norms for insurance companies we do not amortize the customer
acquisition cost, but account for the expenses upfront.

Includes provision against continuing restructured loans, loans

We classify our loans in accordance with the Reserve Bank of
India guidelines into performing and non-performing loans.
Further, non-performing assets are classified into sub-standard,
doubtful and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by the
Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank of India has separate
guidelines for restructured loans. A fully secured standard loan
can be restructured by rescheduling of principal repayments
and/or the interest element, but must be separately disclosed as
a restructured loan in the year of restructuring. Similar
guidelines apply to restructuring of sub-standard loans. See
also Business Classification of loans.
Gross restructured loans decreased by 9.1% to
Rs. 50.4 billion (US$1.2 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 55.5 billion
(US$1.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 primarily due to
transfer of certain loans to an asset reconstruction company, on
being classified as non-performing. Gross non-performing assets
increased by 84.3% to Rs. 42.6 billion
(US$987 million) at year-end fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 23.1 billion (US$536 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase in retail
non-performing loans due to a change in the portfolio mix
towards non-collateralized loans and seasoning of the retail
loan portfolio. We sold gross aggregate value of assets
amounting to Rs. 9.8 billion (US$227 million) to
an asset reconstruction company during fiscal 2007. As a
percentage of net customer assets, net restructured loans were
2.2% at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to 3.3% at year-end fiscal
2006 and net non-performing assets were 0.92% at year-end fiscal
2007 compared to 0.67% at year-end fiscal 2006.

composition of provision and contingencies, excluding provision
for tax.

We do not distinguish between provisions and write-offs while
assessing the adequacy of our loan loss coverage, as both
provisions and write-offs represents a reduction of the
principal amount of a non-performing asset. In compliance with
Indian regulations governing the presentation of financial
information by banks, gross non-performing assets are reported
gross of provisions net of cumulative write-offs in our
financial statements. |
Provisions are made on standard, sub-standard and doubtful
assets at rates prescribed by Reserve Bank of India. Loss assets
and unsecured portion of doubtful assets are provided/written
off as per the extant Reserve Bank of India guidelines. Subject
to the minimum provisioning levels prescribed by the Reserve
Bank of India, provisions on homogeneous retail loans/
receivables is assessed at a portfolio level, on the basis of
days past due. See also Business
Classification of loans.
Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax)
increased to Rs. 22.8 billion (US$529 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 8.5 billion (US$196 million)
in fiscal 2006 primarily due to higher provisions of about
Rs. 4.1 billion (US$95 million) made on standard
assets in accordance with the revised guidelines issued by the
Reserve Bank of India, a significantly lower level of
write-backs in fiscal 2007 compared to about
Rs. 6.6 billion (US$153 million) write-backs in
fiscal 2006, provisions of about Rs. 1.1 billion
(US$24 million) on account of frauds in rural portfolio,
primarily in our warehouse receipt financing business and a
higher level of specific provisioning on retail and other loans.
The increase in provisioning on retail loans primarily reflects
the growth in retail loans, seasoning of the retail loan
portfolio and the change in the portfolio mix towards
non-collateralized retail loans where credit losses are higher,
but the higher losses are more than offset by the higher yield
on such loans.
Under the Reserve Bank of India guidelines issued in September
2005, banks were required to make a general provision of 0.4% on
standard loans (excluding loans to agricultural sector and to
small and medium enterprises). In May 2006, the general
provisioning requirement for personal loans and advances
qualifying as capital market exposure, residential housing loans
beyond Rs. 2.0 million and commercial real estate was
further increased to 1.0% from 0.4%. In January 2007, the
general provisioning requirement for personal loans, credit card
receivables, loans and advances qualifying as capital market
exposure, commercial real estate loans and advances to
non-deposit taking systematically important non-banking
financial companies was increased to 2.0%. As a result, general
provision on standard assets increased by 115.6% to
Rs. 7.5 billion (US$175 million) in fiscal 2007
from Rs. 3.4 billion (US$80 million) in fiscal
2006.
Total tax expense was Rs. 7.6 billion
(US$177 million) for fiscal 2007 compared to
Rs. 7.0 billion (US$162 million) in fiscal 2006.
Income tax expense was Rs. 7.0 billion
(US$163 million) for fiscal 2007 compared to
Rs. 6.6 billion (US$153 million) in fiscal 2006.
The effective rate of income tax expense was 20.7% for fiscal
2007 compared to the effective rate of income tax expense of
21.2% for fiscal 2006. The effective income tax rate of 20.7%
for fiscal 2007 was lower compared to the statutory tax rate of
33.7% primarily due to concessional rate of tax on capital
gains, exemption of dividend income, deduction towards special
reserve and deduction of income of offshore banking unit.
S-54
The Indian Finance Act, 2005 imposed an additional income tax on
companies called fringe benefit tax. Pursuant to this Act,
companies are deemed to have provided fringe benefits to the
employees if certain defined expenses are incurred. A portion of
these expenses is deemed to be a fringe benefit to the employees
and subjects us to tax at a rate of 30%, exclusive of applicable
surcharge and cess. This tax is effective from April 1,
2005. The fringe benefit tax expense amounted to
Rs. 587 million (US$14 million) for fiscal 2007.

Our total assets increased by 42.2% to
Rs. 3,943.3 billion (US$91.5 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2007 compared to Rs. 2,772.3 billion
(US$64.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006, primarily due to
an increase in advances, investments and balances maintained
with Reserve Bank of India. Net Advances increased by 35.3% to
Rs. 2,114.0 billion (US$49.0 billion) from
Rs. 1,562.6 billion (US$36.3 billion) primarily
due to increase in retail advances in accordance with our
strategy of growth in our retail portfolio, offset, in part by
reduction in advances due to repayments and securitizations.
Total investments at year-end fiscal 2007 increased by 43.6% to
Rs. 1,206.2 billion (US$28.0 billion) from
Rs. 840.1 billion (US$19.5 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 primarily due to 31.9% increase in investments in
government and other approved securities in India to
Rs. 696.4 billion (US$16.2 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 528.3 billion
(US$12.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 and 67.0%
increase in other investments (including bonds and other
mortgage securities) to Rs. 273.4 billion
(US$6.3 billion) from Rs. 163.7 billion
(US$3.8 billion). Banks in India are required to maintain a
specified percentage, currently 25%, of their net demand and
time liabilities by way of liquid assets like cash, gold or
approved unencumbered securities. Cash and cash equivalents
increased by 117.4% to Rs. 396.9 billion
(US$9.2 billion) from Rs. 182.6 billion
(US$4.2 billion) primarily due to increase in balance
maintained with Reserve Bank of India due to increase in cash
reserve ratio from 5.0% at year-end 2006 to 6.5% effective at
year-end fiscal 2007 and higher liquid cash balances maintained
by overseas branches and banking subsidiaries. Total assets of
our overseas offices (including overseas banking unit in Mumbai)
increased by 77.4% to Rs 591.4 billion
(US$13.7 billion) at year-end fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 333.4 billion (US$. 7.7 billion) at fiscal
2006 primarily due to an increase in the total assets of our UK
banking subsidiary, Singapore branch and Bahrain branch.

Deposits increased by 44.2% to Rs. 2,486.1 billion
(US$57.7 billion) at year-end fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 1,724.5 billion (US$40.0 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 primarily due to increase in savings deposit by
54.7% to Rs. 375.3 billion (US$8.7 billion) at
year-end fiscal 2007 from Rs. 242.6 billion
(US$5.6 billion) and increase in time deposit by 44.5% to
Rs. 1,827.2 billion (US$42.4 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 1,264.8 billion
(US$29.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006. This significant
growth in deposits was primarily achieved through increased
focus on retail and corporate customers by offering a wide range
of products designed to meet varied individual and corporate
needs and leveraging our network of branches, extension counters
and ATMs. This is commensurate with our focus of increased
funding through deposits. Total deposits at year-end fiscal 2007
constituted 75.0% of our funding (i.e. deposit, borrowings and
subordinated debts). Borrowings (excluding subordinated debt)
increased by 37.0% to Rs. 616.6 billion
(US$14.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 450.0 billion (US$10.4 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 primarily due to increase in foreign currency
borrowings of our international branches and banking
subsidiaries. Minority interest increased by 85.3% to
Rs. 5.1 billion (US$118 million) at year-end
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 2.8 billion (US$64 million)
at year-end fiscal 2006 primarily due to increase of
Rs. 8.7 billion (US$413 million) in share capital
and reserves of our insurance subsidiaries. Stockholders
equity increased to Rs. 239.7 billion (US$5.6 billion)
at year-end fiscal 2007 from Rs. 222.4 billion
(US$5.2 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 primarily due to
retained earnings for the year and exercise of employee stock
option. As per the transition provision for Accounting Standard
15 (Revised) on Accounting for retirement
benefits in financial statements of employer, the
difference in liability on account of retirement benefits
created by the group at March 31, 2006 due to the revised
standard have been adjusted in reserves and surplus.
Fiscal 2006 to Fiscal 2005
Net profit increased by 30.7% to Rs. 24.2 billion
(US$562 million) for fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 18.5 billion (US$430 million) for fiscal
2005, primarily due to a 48.1% increase in net interest income
and a 51.6% increase in non-interest income offset, in part, by
a 49.1% increase in non-interest expenses and a
Rs. 6.6 billion (US$153 million) increase in
provisions and contingencies.
S-56
Net interest income increased by 48.1% to
Rs. 50.3 billion (US$1.2 billion) for fiscal 2006
from Rs. 34.0 billion (US$789 million) for fiscal
2005, reflecting an increase of 48.4% in the average volume of
interest-earning assets.
Non-interest income increased by 51.6% to
Rs. 94.8 billion (US$2.2 billion) for fiscal 2006
from Rs. 62.5 billion (US$1.5 billion) for fiscal
2005 primarily due to a 56.8% increase in commission, exchange
and brokerage and a 70.9% increase in income from insurance
business.
Non-interest expense increased by 49.1% to
Rs. 105.7 billion (US$2.5 billion) for fiscal
2006 from Rs. 70.9 billion (US$1.6 billion) in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase of 56.9% in employee
expenses and a 64.6% increase in expenses pertaining to the
insurance business.
Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax)
increased to Rs. 8.5 billion (US$196 million) in
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 1.9 billion (US$43 million)
in fiscal 2005 primarily due to lower level of write-backs in
fiscal 2006 and higher level of provisioning on standard assets
in fiscal 2006 as per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines.
Gross restructured loans decreased by 15.5% to
Rs. 55.5 billion (US$1.3 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 65.6 billion
(US$1.5 billion) at year-end fiscal 2005 primarily due to
the reclassification of certain loans as standard based on
satisfactory performance of the borrower accounts. Gross
non-performing assets decreased by 34.0% to
Rs. 23.1 billion (US$536 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 35.0 billion
(US$812 million) at year-end fiscal 2005 primarily due to
sale and repayments of certain non-performing loans.
Total assets increased by 55.4% to Rs. 2,772.3 billion
(US$64.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 compared to
Rs. 1,784.3 billion (US$41.4 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in retail loans and
investments in government securities.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
principal components of net interest income.

Net interest income increased by 48.1% to
Rs. 50.3 billion (US$1.2 billion) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 34.0 billion (US$789 million) in fiscal
2005 reflecting an increase of Rs. 588.9 billion
(US$13.6 billion) or 48.4% in the average volume of
interest-earning assets.
The average volume of interest-earning assets increased by 48.4%
or Rs. 588.9 billion (US$13.7 billion) to
Rs. 1,806.6 billion (US$41.9 billion) during
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 1,217.7 billion
(US$28.3 billion) during fiscal 2005, primarily due to the
increase in average advances. Average advances increased by
57.2% to Rs. 1,200.3 billion (US$27.9 billion) in
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 763.7 billion
(US$17.7 billion) in fiscal 2005. This increase in average
advances was primarily due to increased disbursements of retail
finance loans offset, in part, by the sell-down/securitization
and repayments of loans. The average volume of interest-earning
foreign currency assets increased by 80.5% to
Rs. 275.3 billion (US$6.4 billion) during fiscal
2006 from Rs. 152.6 billion (US$3.5 billion)
during fiscal 2005 primarily due to increased business volumes
of our international branches and subsidiaries.
Total interest income increased by 48.3% to
Rs. 151.3 billion (US$3.5 billion) for fiscal
2006 from Rs. 102.0 billion (US$2.4 billion) for
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase of 48.4% in the average
volume of total interest-earning assets to
Rs. 1,806.6 billion (US$41.9 billion) during
fiscal 2006 from
S-57
Rs. 1,217.7 billion (US$28.3 billion) during
fiscal 2005. The overall yield on average interest-earning
assets remained at nearly the same levels given that the decline
in yield on advances to 8.9% for fiscal 2006 from 9.6% for
fiscal 2005 was offset by the increase in yield on investments
to 7.9% for fiscal 2006 from 6.3% for fiscal 2005.
In February 2006, the Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines on
accounting for securitization of standard assets. In accordance
with these guidelines, with effect from February 1, 2006,
we account for any loss on securitization immediately at the
time of sale and the profit/premium arising on account of
securitization is amortized over the life of the asset. Prior to
February 1, 2006, profit arising on account of
securitization was recorded at the time of sale. The gains on
sell down were about 9.1% of net interest income for fiscal 2006
(0.3% of average interest-earning assets) compared to
15.3 % of net interest income for
fiscal 2005 (0.4% of average interest-earning assets).
Total interest expense increased by 48.5% to
Rs. 101.0 billion (US$2.3 billion) during fiscal
2006 from Rs. 68.0 billion (US$1.6 billion)
during fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase of 47.0% in
average
interest-bearing
liabilities to Rs. 1,795.2 billion
(US$41.7 billion) in fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 1,221.3 billion (US$28.3 billion) in fiscal
2005. Average deposits, with an average cost of 4.8% for fiscal
2006, constituted 69.9% of total average interest-bearing
liabilities compared to 62.9% of the total average
interest-bearing liabilities with a cost of 4.2% for fiscal
2005. The increase in average cost of deposits in fiscal 2006
was primarily due to the general increase in interest rates
reflecting the tight liquidity scenario in the last quarter of
fiscal 2006. The average cost of total borrowings including
subordinated debt decreased to 7.7% in fiscal 2006 from 7.8% in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to increase in foreign currency
borrowings and repayment of high cost borrowings of ICICI.
Our net interest margin was 2.79% for fiscal 2006, the same
level as for fiscal 2005 as the positive impact of equity
capital raising in fiscal 2006 was offset by increased cost of
deposits and a lower contribution of securitization gains.

principal components of non-interest income.

The amount of premium ceded on re-insurance has been
reclassified from expenses pertaining to insurance business and
netted off from non-interest income. |
Non-interest income increased by 51.6% for fiscal 2006 to
Rs. 94.8 billion (US$2.2 billion) from
Rs. 62.5 billion (US$1.5 billion) for fiscal 2005
primarily due to a 56.8% increase in commission, exchange and
brokerage to Rs. 32.5 billion (US$755 million) in
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 20.8 billion
(US$481 million) in fiscal 2005 and a 70.9% increase in
income pertaining to insurance business to
Rs. 50.7 billion (US$1.2 billion) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 29.7 billion (US$688 million) in fiscal
2005.
S-58
Commission, exchange and brokerage increased by 56.8% primarily
due to growth in credit card fees and third-party product fees,
increase in income from remittances and other fees from
international banking business and growth in corporate banking
fees.
Profit on sale of investments increased by 45.3% to
Rs. 11.0 billion (US$255 million) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 7.6 billion (US$95 million) in fiscal
2005 as we continued to capitalize on the opportunities created
by the buoyant equity market through divestment of certain of
our non-core investments and through proprietary trading
operations. The net loss on the revaluation of investments was
Rs. 8.5 billion (US$198 million) in fiscal 2006
as compared to Rs. 2.6 billion (US$61 million) in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to significantly higher level of
amortization of premium on government securities of
Rs. 8.0 billion (US$186 million) in fiscal 2006,
compared to Rs. 2.8 billion (US$65 million) in
fiscal 2005. The increase in premium on government securities
was primarily due to an increase in the investments in
government securities and transfer of a substantial portion of
the investments in government securities from available
for sale to held to maturity category in the
second half of fiscal 2005. This was earlier classified as
provisions and contingencies and the reclassification is in
accordance with the revised guidelines of the Reserve Bank of
India. Income from foreign exchange transaction includes income
from derivatives reflecting primarily the transactions
undertaken with customers by us and hedged or in the inter-bank
market, and income from merchant foreign exchange transactions.
Income pertaining to insurance business representing primarily
premium income on our life and general insurance products
increased by 70.9% to Rs. 50.7 billion
(US$1.2 billion) from Rs. 29.7 billion
(US$688 million) reflecting primarily an increase in the
number of policies issued. The income pertaining to insurance
business includes Rs. 43.8 billion
(US$1.0 billion) from our life insurance business and
Rs. 6.9 billion (US$161 million) from our general
insurance business. We recognize life insurance premium as
income when due. Premium on lapsed policies is recognized as
income when such policies are reinstated. General insurance
premium is recognized as income over the period of risks or the
contract period. Any subsequent revision to premium is
recognized over the remaining period of risks or contract period.
Miscellaneous income increased by 4.3% to
Rs. 4.6 billion (US$106 million) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 4.4 billion (US$102 million) in fiscal
2005. Miscellaneous income includes unrealized gain/loss on
certain derivative transactions.

Non-interest expense increased by 49.1% to
Rs. 105.7 billion (US$2.5 billion) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 70.9 billion (US$1.6 billion) in fiscal
2005 primarily due to an increase in employee expenses and
increase in the expenses pertaining to the insurance business.
Employee expenses increased by 56.9% to
Rs. 17.1 billion (US$397 million) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 10.9 billion (US$253 million) in fiscal
2005, primarily due to an increase in the number of employees.
The employee expenses for ICICI Bank Limited increased by
45.9% to Rs. 10.8 billion (US$251 million) in
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 7.4 billion (US$172 million)
in fiscal 2005 primarily due to a 40.8% increase in the number
of employees. The employee expenses for ICICI Prudential
Life Insurance Company increased by 70.6% to
Rs. 2.9 billion (US$67 million) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 1.7 billion (US$39 million) in fiscal
2005 primarily due to a 48.7% increase in number of employees.
The employee expenses for ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company increased by 61.7% to Rs. 1.2 billion
(US$28 million) in fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 745 million (US$17 million) in fiscal 2005
primarily due to a 82.8% increase in number of employees. The
increase in employees was commensurate with the growth in
business.
Other administrative expenses increased by 43.2% to
Rs. 26.6 billion (US$616 million) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 18.6 billion (US$430 million) in fiscal
2005 primarily due to the increased volume of business,
particularly in retail business and include maintenance of ATMs,
credit card related expenses, call center expenses and
technology expenses. The number of bank branches (excluding
foreign branches) and extension counters increased to 614 at
year-end fiscal 2006 from 562 at year-end fiscal 2005. The
number of ATMs increased to 2,200 at year-end fiscal 2006 from
1,910 at year-end fiscal 2005. The number of branches and
offices of our insurance subsidiaries increased to 463 at
year-end fiscal 2006 from 277 at year-end fiscal 2005.
Direct marketing agency expenses increased by 36.1% to
Rs. 11.9 billion (US$276 million) in fiscal 2006
from Rs. 8.7 billion (US$203 million) in fiscal
2005 in line with the growth in our retail credit business. We
use marketing agents, called direct marketing agents or
associates, for sourcing retail assets. These commissions are
expensed upfront and not amortized over the life of the loan. We
reduce direct marketing agency expenses incurred in connection
with sourcing our automobile loans on an upfront basis from
interest income.
Expenses pertaining to insurance business, representing
provisions for claims, contribution to linked business,
commissions paid and reserving for actuarial liability increased
by 64.6% to Rs 43.4 billion (US$1.0 billion) in fiscal
2006 from Rs. 26.4 billion (US$612 million) in
view of the higher business levels in fiscal 2006. The
provisions for claims are determined based on actuarial
valuation. In line with accounting norms for insurance companies
we do not amortize the customer acquisition cost, but account
for the expenses upfront.

Gross restructured loans decreased by 15.5% to
Rs. 55.5 billion (US$1.3 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 65.6 billion
(US$1.5 billion) at year-end fiscal 2005 primarily due to
the reclassification of certain loans as standard based on
satisfactory performance of the borrower accounts. Gross
non-performing assets decreased by 34.0% to
Rs. 23.1 billion (US$536 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 35.0 billion
(US$812 million) at year-end fiscal 2005 primarily due to
sale and repayment of non-performing assets. We sold a gross
aggregate value of assets amounting to Rs. 6.2 billion
(US$144 million) to an asset reconstruction company during
fiscal 2006 and a gross outstanding amount of
Rs. 14.4 billion
S-61
(US$334 million) to other entities. As a percentage of net
customer assets, net restructured loans were 3.3% at year-end
fiscal 2006 and 6.1% at year-end fiscal 2005 and net
non-performing assets were 0.67% at year-end fiscal 2006 and
1.95% at year-end fiscal 2005.

composition of provision and contingencies excluding provision

We do not distinguish between provisions and write-offs while
assessing the adequacy of our loan loss coverage, as both
provisions and write-offs represents a reduction of the
principal amount of a non-performing asset. In compliance with
regulations governing the presentation of financial information
by banks, gross non-performing assets are reported gross of
provisions net of cumulative write-offs in our financial
statements. |
Provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax)
increased to Rs. 8.5 billion (US$196 million) in
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 1.9 billion (US$43 million)
in fiscal 2005 primarily due to the lower level of write-backs
and higher level of general provisions on standard assets. With
effect from the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the
Reserve Bank of India increased the requirement of general
provisioning on standard advances (excluding advances to the
agricultural sector and small and medium enterprises) to 0.40%
compared to 0.25% applicable until September 30, 2005. In
accordance with the Reserve Bank of Indias guidelines we
made general provisions of Rs. 3.4 billion
(US$79 million) in fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2006, we
re-assessed our provision requirements on performing loans and
non-performing loans on a portfolio basis and wrote back an
amount of Rs. 1.69 billion (US$39 million) from
the provisions against non-performing loans, which were in
excess of the regulatory requirements.
Total tax expense was Rs. 7.0 billion
(US$162 million) for fiscal 2006 compared to
Rs. 5.7 billion (US$132 million) in fiscal 2005.
Income tax expense was Rs. 6.6 billion
(US$153 million) for fiscal 2006 compared to
Rs. 5.7 billion (US$132 million) in fiscal 2005.
The effective rate of income tax expense was 21.2% for fiscal
2006 compared to the effective rate of income tax expense of
23.8% for fiscal 2005. The effective income tax rate of 21.2%
for fiscal 2006 was lower compared to the statutory tax rate of
33.7% primarily due to exempt interest and dividend income and
the charging of income at rates lower than statutory tax rates,
offset in part by disallowances of certain expenses for tax
purposes. Further, during fiscal 2006, we created a deferred tax
asset on carry forward capital losses based on our firm plans
that sufficient taxable capital gains will be available against
which the losses can be set off.
The Indian Finance Act, 2005 imposes an additional income tax on
companies called fringe benefit tax. Pursuant to
this Act, companies are deemed to have provided fringe benefits
to the employees if certain defined expenses are incurred. A
portion of these expenses is deemed to be a fringe benefit to
the employees and subjects us to tax at a rate of 30%, exclusive
of applicable surcharge and cess. This tax is effective from
April 1, 2005. The fringe benefit tax expense amounted to
Rs. 386 million (US$9 million) for fiscal 2006.

Our total assets increased by 55.4% to
Rs. 2,772.3 billion (US$64.3 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 compared to Rs. 1,784.3 billion
(US$41.4 billion) at year-end fiscal 2005, primarily due to
an increase in advances and investments. Total investments at
year-end fiscal 2006 increased by 53.7% to
Rs. 840.1 billion (US$19.5 billion) from
Rs. 546.5 billion (US$12.7 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2005 primarily due to a 46.7% increase in investments in
government and other approved securities in India to
Rs. 528.3 billion (US$12.3 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 360.2 billion
(US$8.4 billion) at year-end fiscal 2005. Net advances
increased by 62.1% to Rs. 1,562.6 billion
(US$36.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 964.1 billion (US$22.4 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in retail assets in
accordance with our strategy to increase our retail assets
portfolio, offset, in part, by a reduction due to repayments and
securitization of assets. Total assets (gross) of overseas
branches of ICICI Bank (including offshore banking unit in
Mumbai) increased by 117.3% to Rs. 275.9 billion
(US$6.4 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 127.0 billion (US$2.9 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2005. During the year we acquired an additional stake of
6% in ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited and
ICICI Prudential Trust Limited increasing our total
shareholding in the company to 51%. The above acquisition
resulted in goodwill of Rs. 487 million
(US$11 million), which is included in other assets. Other
assets increased by 52.2% to Rs. 145.6 billion
(US$3.3 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 95.7 billion (US$2.2 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in the recoverables in
the ordinary course of business from our counterparties,
customers and clients resulting from the general increase in
business volumes.

Deposits increased by 70.6% to Rs. 1,724.5 billion
(US$40.0 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 1,011.1 billion (US$23.5 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2005. This significant growth in deposits was primarily
achieved through increased focus on retail and corporate
customers by offering a wide range of products designed to meet
varied individual and corporate needs and leveraging our network
of branches, extension counters and ATMs. Borrowings (excluding
subordinated debt) increased by 17.3% to
Rs. 450.0 billion (US$10.4 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 383.7 billion
(US$8.9 billion) at year-end fiscal 2005. Minority interest
increased to Rs. 2,749 million (US$64 million) at
year-end fiscal 2006 from Rs. 1,525 million
(US$35 million) at year-end fiscal 2005. The increase is
primarily due to the acquisition of additional stakes in ICICI
Prudential Asset Management Company Limited and ICICI Prudential
Trust Limited as a result of which these companies have
been accounted for as subsidiaries in fiscal 2006 as compared to
the proportionate consolidation method of accounting followed in
fiscal 2005. Stockholders equity increased by 81.2% at
year-end fiscal 2006 to Rs. 222.4 billion
(US$5.2 billion) from Rs. 122.7 billion
(US$2.9 billion) at year-end fiscal 2005 primarily due to
equity capital raised by us amounting to
Rs. 80.0 billion (US$1.9 billion) during fiscal
2006.

Denotes the
mark-to-market impact
of the derivative and foreign exchange products on the reporting
date. |
The notional principal amount of interest rate products
increased to Rs. 3,455.6 billion
(US$80.2 billion) at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to
Rs. 2,770.1 billion (US$64.3 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006. The notional principal amount of foreign exchange
products increased to Rs. 2,076.7 billion
(US$48.2 billion) at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to
Rs. 1,199.2 billion (US$27.8 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006. This significant increase in the volumes of
interest rates swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts was
primarily due to increased transactions carried out by us on
behalf of our customers and growth in the market for such
products. Market volumes have also increased significantly
during this period. As an active player and market-maker in swap
and forward exchange contract markets and due to the fact that
reduction in positions is generally achieved by entering into
offsetting transactions rather than termination/cancellation of
existing transactions, we have seen a substantial increase in
the notional principal of our swap portfolio during this period.
An interest rate swap does not entail exchange of notional
principal and the cash flow arises on account of the difference
between the interest rate pay and receive legs of the swap which
is generally much lower than the notional principal of the swap.
A large proportion of interest rate swaps, currency swaps and
forward exchange contracts are on account of market making which
involves providing regular two-way prices to customers or
inter-bank counter-parties. This results in generation of a
higher number of outstanding transactions, and hence a large
value of gross notional principal of the portfolio. For example,
if a transaction entered into with a customer is covered by an
exactly opposite transaction entered into with another
counter-party, the net market risk of the two transactions will
be zero whereas, the notional principal of the portfolio will be
the sum of both transactions.
We primarily securitize commercial loans through
pass-through securitization transactions involving
special purpose entities (SPE), commonly Trusts by nature. After
the securitization, we generally continue to maintain customer
account relationships and service loans transferred to the
securitization trusts. The securitization transactions are
either with limited recourse or without recourse. In certain
cases, we may enter into derivative transactions such as
interest rate swaps with the contributors to the securitization
trusts. In February 2006, the Reserve Bank of India issued
guidelines on securitization of standard assets (Guidelines). In
accordance with these guidelines, in effect since
February 1, 2006, we account for any loss arising on
securitization immediately at the time of sale and amortize the
profit/ premium arising on account of securitization over the
life of the asset. Prior to February 1, 2006, profit
arising on account of securitization was recorded at the time of
sale.
S-65
In certain cases, prior to the issuance of the guidelines, we
have written put options, which require us to purchase, upon
request of the holders, securities issued in certain
securitization transactions. The put options seek to provide
liquidity to holders of such instruments. If exercised, we are
obligated to purchase the securities at the pre-determined
exercise price.
We may sometimes invest in financial assets such as mortgage
loans, commercial vehicles and trade receivables transferred in
pass-through securitizations. An originator of a typical
securitization transfers a portfolio of financial assets to a
SPE, commonly a Trust. We account for these investments at
inception at acquisition price.
We have outstanding undrawn commitments to provide loans and
financing to customers. These loan (including fungible
commitments on non funds facility) commitments aggregated
Rs. 401.7 billion (US$9.3 billion) as of
March 31, 2007 compared to Rs. 280.6 billion
(US$6.5 billion) as of March 31, 2006. The interest
rate on fund-based commitments is dependent on the lending rates
on the date of the loan disbursement. Further, the commitments
have fixed expiration dates and are contingent upon the
borrowers ability to maintain specific credit standards.
We are obligated under a number of capital contracts. Capital
contracts are job orders of a capital nature, which have been
committed. As of the balance sheet date, work had not been
completed to this extent. Estimated amounts of contracts
remaining to be executed on capital account aggregated
Rs. 3.7 billion (US$85 million) as of
March 31, 2007 as compared to Rs. 1.5 billion
(US$34 million) as of March 31, 2006.

As a part of our financing activities, we issue guarantees to
enhance the credit standing of our customers. The guarantees are
generally for a period not exceeding 10 years. The credit
risk associated with these products, as well as the operating
risks, are similar to those relating to other types of financial
instruments. We have the same appraisal process for guarantees
as that for any other loan product. Guarantees increased by
54.5% to Rs. 311.6 billion (US$7.2 billion) at
year-end fiscal 2007 from Rs. 201.7 billion
(US$4.7 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006.

Capital Resources
ICICI Bank is subject to the capital adequacy requirements
of the Reserve Bank of India, which are primarily based on the
capital adequacy accord reached by the Basel Committee of
Banking Supervision, Bank of International Settlements in 1988.
We are required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to
risk adjusted assets of 9.0%, at least half of which must be
Tier 1 capital.
Our total capital adequacy ratio calculated in accordance with
the Reserve Bank of India guidelines at year-end fiscal 2007 was
11.69%, including Tier I capital adequacy ratio of 7.42%
and Tier II capital adequacy ratio of 4.27%. In accordance
with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, the risk-weighted
assets at year-end fiscal include home loans to individuals at a
risk weightage of 75%, other consumer loans and capital market
exposure at a risk weightage of 125%. Commercial real estate
exposure and investments in venture capital funds have been
considered at a risk weightage of 150%. The risk-weighted assets
at year-end fiscal 2006 and year-end fiscal 2007 also include
the impact of capital requirement for market risk on the held
for trading and available for sale portfolio. Deferred tax
assets amounting to Rs. 6.1 billion
(US$142 million) and unamortized amount of expenses on
Early Retirement Option Scheme amounting to
Rs. 502 million (US$12 million) at year-end
fiscal 2007, have been reduced from Tier I capital while
computing the capital adequacy ratio.
In accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines,
Tier I capital includes Rs. 1.50 billion
(US$35 million) of
20-year non-cumulative
preference shares issued to ITC Limited (face value of
Rs. 3.50 billion (US$81 million) as a part of the
scheme for merger of ITC Classic Finance Limited with ICICI.
S-67
Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines in October, 2005
permitting banks that have maintained capital of at least 9.0%
of the risk-weighted assets for credit risk and market risk for
held for trading and available for sale categories of
investments to transfer the balance in the investment
fluctuation reserve below the line in the profit and
loss appropriation account to statutory reserve, general reserve
or balance of profit & loss account. Pursuant to the
above, the entire balance in investment fluctuation reserve at
year-end fiscal, 2006, of Rs. 13.2 billion
(US$306 million) was transferred to revenue and other
reserves and hence considered in the Tier-I capital.
For all securitization deals executed subsequent to
February 1, 2006, capital requirement has been considered
in accordance with the Reserve Bank of India guidelines issued
in this regard on February 1, 2006. In January 2006, the
Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines permitting banks to
issue perpetual debt with a call option after not less than
10 years, to be exercised with its prior approval, for
inclusion in Tier I capital up to a maximum of 15% of total
Tier I capital, The Reserve Bank of India also permitted
banks to issue debt instruments with a minimum maturity of
15 years and a call option after not less than
10 years, to be exercised with its prior approval, for
inclusion in Tier II capital.
In February 2005, the Reserve Bank of India had issued draft
Basel II guidelines which it further modified to issue
revised draft guidelines in March 2007. In April 2007, the
Reserve Bank of India issued final guidelines for the
implementation of a revised Basel II capital adequacy
framework that would be effective year-end fiscal 2008 for us.
The guidelines for the capital adequacy framework include an
increase in the minimum Tier-1 Capital Adequacy Ratio from 4.5%
to 6.0% and, the introduction of capital for operational risk as
per Basel II. Further, the risk weight for consumer credit and
residential mortgages will continue to remain at 125.0% and
75.0% (risk weights for residential mortgage loans of less than
Rs. 2 million (US$46,404) with
loan-to-value ratio of
less than 75.0% would be 50.0%). The capital adequacy norms
stipulate a capital charge on undrawn commitments. The norms
also increase the
risk-weightage for
domestic corporates (for loans greater than
Rs. 100 million (US$2 million)) without a
solicited external rating to 150.0% in a phased manner as
compared to 100% currently. Similarly,
non-resident corporates
(for loans greater than Rs. 100 million
(US$2 million)) without a rating from an international
rating agency would attract 150.0% risk weightage in a phased
manner compared to 100% currently.
The following table sets forth, at the dates indicated,
risk-based capital,
risk-weighted assets
and risk-based capital
adequacy ratios computed in accordance with the applicable
Reserve Bank of India guidelines and based on ICICI Banks
unconsolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with
Indian GAAP.

Foreign currency bonds amounting to Rs. 32.3 billion
(US$750 million) raised for
Upper Tier-II
capital have been excluded from the above capital adequacy ratio
computation, pending clarification required by
S-68
Reserve Bank of India regarding certain terms of these bonds. If
these bonds were considered as
Tier-II capital, the
capital adequacy ratio would be 12.81%.
From time to time, we may access the capital markets through
additional equity or debt offerings to increase our capital
resources.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises in the funding of lending, trading and
investment activities and in the management of trading
positions. It includes both the risk of unexpected increases in
the cost of funding an asset portfolio at appropriate maturities
and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely
manner at a reasonable price. The goal of liquidity management
is to be able, even under adverse conditions, to meet all
liability repayments on time and fund all investment
opportunities.
We maintain diverse sources of liquidity to facilitate
flexibility in meeting funding requirements. Incremental
operations are principally funded by accepting deposits from
retail and corporate depositors. The deposits are augmented by
borrowings in the
short-term inter-bank
market and through the issuance of bonds. Loan maturities and
sale of investments also provide liquidity. Most of the funds
raised are used to extend loans or purchase securities.
Generally, deposits are of a shorter average maturity than loans
or investments.
Most of our incremental funding requirements, including
replacement of maturing liabilities of ICICI, which generally
had longer maturities, are met through
short-term funding
sources, primarily in the form of deposits including
inter-bank deposits.
However, a large portion of our assets, primarily the assets of
ICICI and our home loan portfolio, have medium or
long-term maturities,
creating a potential for funding mismatches. We actively monitor
our liquidity position and attempt to maintain adequate
liquidity at all times to meet all requirements of all
depositors and bondholders, while also meeting the requirement
of lending groups. We seek to establish a continuous information
flow and an active dialogue between the funding and borrowing
divisions of the organization to enable optimal liquidity
management. A separate group is responsible for liquidity
management.
Another source of liquidity risk is the put options written by
us on the loans, which we have securitized. These options are
binding on us and require us to purchase, upon request of the
holders, securities issued in such securitized transactions. The
options seek to provide liquidity to the security holders. If
exercised, we will be obligated to purchase the securities at
the pre-determined
exercise price. Under the Reserve Bank of Indias statutory
liquidity ratio requirement, we are required to maintain 25.0%
of our total demand and time liabilities by way of approved
securities, such as government of India securities and state
government securities. We maintain a significant part of the
statutory liquidity ratio through a portfolio of government of
India securities that we actively manage to optimize the yield
and benefit from price movements. Under the Reserve Bank of
Indias cash reserve ratio requirements, we were required
to maintain 6.50% of our demand and time liabilities in a
current account with the Reserve Bank of India. We also have
recourse to the liquidity adjustment facility and the refinance
window, which are short-term funding arrangements provided by
the Reserve Bank of India. We maintain a portfolio of liquid
high quality securities that may be sold on an immediate basis
to meet our liquidity needs.
We also have the option of managing liquidity by borrowing in
the inter-bank market on a
short-term basis. The
overnight market, which is a significant part of the inter-bank
market, is susceptible to volatile interest rates. These
interest rates on certain occasions have touched historical
highs of 70.0% and above. To curtail reliance on such volatile
funding, our liquidity management policy has stipulated daily
limits for borrowing and lending in this market. The limit on
daily borrowing is more stringent than the limit set by the
Reserve Bank of India. ICICI Securities Limited, like us, relies
for a certain proportion of its funding on the
inter-bank market for
overnight money and is therefore also exposed to similar risk of
volatile interest rates.
We are required to submit gap analysis on a monthly basis to the
Reserve Bank of India. Pursuant to the Reserve Bank of India
guidelines, the liquidity gap (if negative) must not exceed
20.0% of outflows in the
1-14 day and the
15-28 day time
category. We prepare fortnightly maturity gap analysis to review
our liquidity position. Static gap analysis is also supplemented
by a dynamic analysis for the
short-term, to enable
S-69
the liability raising units to have a fair estimate of the
short-term funding
requirements. In addition, we also monitor certain liquidity
ratios on a fortnightly basis.

instruments by credit rating agencies.

The outlook from Standard and Poor, Moodys and JCRA is
stable. Any downgrade in these credit ratings, or any adverse
change in these ratings relative to other banks and financial
intermediaries, could adversely impact our ability to raise
resources to meet its funding requirements, which in turn could
adversely impact our liquidity position.

Consumer and Commercial Banking Segment |
|
|
|
Fiscal 2007 compared to Fiscal 2006 |
Profit before tax of the consumer and commercial banking segment
declined to Rs. 25.1 billion (US$583 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 26.0 billion
(US$604 million) in fiscal 2006, primarily due to an
increase in provisions and increase in
non-interest expense,
offset, in part by an increase in net interest income and
non-interest income.
S-71
Net interest income increased by 35.0% to
Rs. 59.8 billion (US$1.4 billion) for
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 44.3 billion
(US$1.0 billion) for fiscal 2006, primarily due to an
increase in the interest income on advances and investments,
offset, in part, by an increase in the interest expense on
deposits.
Non-interest income
increased by 55.9% to Rs. 53.2 billion
(US$1.2 billion) in fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 34.1 billion (US$791 million) in
fiscal 2006, primarily due to growth in fee income from
retail products and services, including fee arising from retail
assets products and retail liability related income like account
servicing charges and third party distribution fees. Fees from
corporate banking and international business also witnessed a
strong growth. The increase was also due to increase in
commission, exchange and brokerage income of our UK banking
subsidiary and investment banking subsidiary. Commission,
exchange and brokerage of our investment banking subsidiary
increased primarily due to increase in the advisory fees offset
by decrease in fee for equity capital market services.
Non-interest expense increased 46.1% to
Rs. 65.5 billion (US$1.5 billion) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 44.8 billion
(US$1.0 billion) in fiscal 2006, primarily due to an
increase in employee expenses and the growth in the retail
franchise, including maintenance of ATMs, credit card expenses,
call center expenses and technology expenses. Employee expenses
increased primarily due to increase in the number of employees,
annual increase in the salaries and higher cost due to
monetization of benefits on loan facilities available to
employees at concessional rates of interests and other employee
benefits. The increase in employees was commensurate with the
growth in our retail businesses. Direct marketing agency
expenses increased by 31.0% to Rs. 15.6 billion
(US$362 million) in fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 11.9 billion (US$276 million) in
fiscal 2006 in line with the growth in our retail credit
business. We use marketing agents, called direct marketing
agents or associates, for sourcing retail assets. These
commissions are expensed upfront and not amortized over the life
of the loan. We reduce direct marketing agency expenses incurred
in connection with sourcing our automobile loans on an upfront
basis from interest income.
Provisions and contingencies increased significantly to
Rs. 22.4 billion (US$518 million) for
fiscal 2007 as compared to Rs. 7.5 billion
(US$175 million) for fiscal 2006 primarily due to due
to higher provisions created on standard assets, in accordance
with the revised guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India, a
higher level of specific provisioning on retail loans due to
change in the portfolio mix towards
non-collateralized
loans and seasoning of the loan portfolio and lower level of
write-backs. General
provision on standard assets increased by 111.0% to
Rs. 7.3 billion (US$169 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 3.5 billion
(US$81 million) in fiscal 2006.

|
|
Fiscal 2006 compared to Fiscal 2005 |
Profit before tax of the commercial banking segment increased to
Rs. 26.0 billion (US$604 million) in
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 18.8 billion
(US$437 million) in fiscal 2005, primarily due to an
increase in net interest income by Rs. 15.0 billion
(US$349 million) in fiscal 2006 and
non-interest income by
Rs. 9.0 billion (US$209 million) in
fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 offset, in
part, by an increase in the provisions and contingencies
(excluding provisions for tax) by Rs. 6.4 billion
(US$148 million) and an increase of
Rs. 10.5 billion (US$243 million) in non-interest
expense in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005.
Net interest income increased 51.5% to
Rs. 44.3 billion (US$1.0 billion) for
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 29.3 billion
(US$679 million) for fiscal 2005 primarily due to an
increase in average interest-earning assets.
Non-interest income
increased 35.9% to Rs. 34.1 billion
(US$791 million) in fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 25.1 billion (US$582 million) in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to growth in commission, exchange
and brokerage income. Commission, exchange and brokerage income
increased mainly due to growth in credit card related fees and
third party distribution fees, an increase in income from
remittances and other fees from our international business and
growth in fees from corporate customers.
Non-interest expense
increased 30.6% to Rs. 44.8 billion
(US$1.0 billion) in fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 34.3 billion (US$797 million) in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in employee
expenses and
S-72
enhanced operations and the growth in retail franchise,
including maintenance of ATMs, credit card expenses, call center
expenses and technology expenses.
Provisions and contingencies was Rs. 7.5 billion
(US$175 million) for fiscal 2006 as compared to
Rs. 1.2 billion (US$27 million) for
fiscal 2005 primarily due to increased provisions on
standard assets as per Reserve Bank of India guidelines in
fiscal 2006 and a lower level of write backs in
fiscal 2006.

|
|
Investment Banking Segment |
|
|
|
Fiscal 2007 compared to Fiscal 2006 |
Profit before tax for the investment banking segment increased
to Rs. 13.9 billion (US$322 million) in
fiscal 2006 compared to Rs. 5.7 billion
(US$132 million) in fiscal 2006 primarily due to
increase in
non-interest income and
net interest income, offset in part, by an increase in the
non-interest expenses.
Net interest income increased to Rs. 11.5 billion
(US$267 million) in fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 5.0 billion (US$115 million) in
fiscal 2006 primarily due to a 54.8% increase in interest
income from government securities, offset, in part, by an
increase in interest on
inter-bank borrowings.
Non-interest income increased by 62.3% to
Rs. 11.9 billion (US$276 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 7.3 billion
(US$170 million) in fiscal 2006 primarily due to
higher level of gains from equity divestments, offset in part by
24.5% increase in premium amortization on government securities
to Rs. 10.0 billion (US$232 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 8.02 billion
(US$186 million) in fiscal 2006 and lower profits on
proprietary trading as a result of the sharp fall in the equity
markets in May 2006 and adverse conditions in debt markets.
Non-interest expense increased to Rs. 9.1 billion
(US$210 million) in fiscal 2007 from
Rs. 5.7 billion (US$131 million) in
fiscal 2006 primarily due to increase in payments to and
provisions for employees and other administrative expenses.
|
|
|
Fiscal 2006 compared to Fiscal 2005 |
Profit before tax for the investment banking segment declined to
Rs. 5.7 billion (US$132 million) in
fiscal 2006 compared to Rs. 7.0 billion
(US$161 million) in fiscal 2005, primarily due to an
increase of Rs. 2.5 billion (US$58 million) in
non-interest expenses in fiscal 2006 as compared to
fiscal 2005, offset in part by an increase in the net
interest income by Rs. 883 million
(US$21 million) and non-interest income by
Rs. 528 million (US$12 million) in
fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005.
Net interest income increased 20.5% to Rs. 5.0 billion
(US$115 million) in fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 4.1 billion (US$95 million) in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in interest income
from government securities, offset in part by an increase in
interest on inter-bank
borrowings.
Non-interest income increased 7.8% to Rs. 7.3 billion
(US$169 million) in fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 6.8 billion (US$158 million) in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to higher capital gains realized
on sale of equity investments offset in part by 185.7% increase
in premium amortization on government securities to
Rs. 8.0 billion (US$186 million) in
fiscal 2006 from Rs. 2.8 billion
(US$65 million) in fiscal 2005. The increase in
premium on government securities was primarily due to an
increase in the investments in government securities and
transfer of a substantial portion of the investments in
government securities from available for sale to
held to maturity category in the second half of
fiscal 2005. This was earlier classified as provisions and
contingencies and the reclassification is in accordance with the
revised guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India.
Non-interest expense increased to Rs. 5.7 billion
(US$131 million) in fiscal 2006 from
Rs. 3.2 billion (US$74 million) in
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in employee
expenses and other administrative expenses.

Fiscal 2007 compared to Fiscal 2006 |
The net loss of insurance segment was at
Rs. 3.9 billion (US$91 million) for
fiscal 2007 as compared to Rs. 495 million
(US$11 million) for fiscal 2006 primarily due to
increase in the net loss of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance
Company Limited.
As would be typical for life insurance companies during the
periods of high growth, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company
Limited incurred a loss of Rs. 6.5 billion
(US$150 million) primarily due to business
set-up and customer
acquisition costs as well as reserving for actuarial liability.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited recorded a
growth of 98.4% in total new business premium of
Rs. 51.6 billion (US$1.2 billion) in
fiscal 2007 as compared to Rs. 26.0 billion
(US$604 million) in fiscal 2006. ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance Company Limited was the largest player in the retail
segment of the private sector life insurance market with a
market share of about 28% during fiscal 2007 (on weighted
received premium basis).
There was a increase in the net loss of ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance Company Limited during fiscal 2007 primarily due
the timing differences in the recognition of premiums collected
on policies sold and
non-interest expenses
and actuarial provisions created for future benefits under the
policies, increase in non-interest expenses and appropriation of
an amount of Rs 968 million (US$22 million) as
Funds for Future Appropriation from the revenue account
(policyholders account) during fiscal 2007 instead of the
profit and loss account.
Life insurance premium is recognized as income when due and
costs primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal
insurance contracts including commissions and policy issue
expenses are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
The liability for life policies in force and also policies in
respect of which premium has been discontinued but a liability
exists, is determined by the appointed actuary on the basis of
an annual review of the life insurance business.
The non-interest
expense of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited
increased significantly in fiscal 2007 as compared to
fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase in the employee
expenses and other administrative expenses. The employee
expenses for ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company increased
by 78.2% primarily due to a an increase in number of employees
to 16,317 at
year-end
fiscal 2007 from 7,704 at
year-end
fiscal 2006. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company
Limited has increased its agency force from approximately
72,000 at year-end
fiscal 2006 to approximately 234,000 as at
year-end
fiscal 2007. The total number of branches has increased to
583 at year-end
fiscal 2007 as compared to 309 at
year-end
fiscal 2006.
Pursuant to a notification issued by Insurance Regulatory
Development Authority dated March 29, 2006, the appointed
actuary of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited has
determined as amount of Rs. 968 million
(US$22 million) as release of actuarial reserves on
policies which have lapsed in the earlier years. ICICI
Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited had in fiscal 2006
appropriated an amount of Rs. 792 million
(US$18 million), relating to reserves on policies which
lapsed in the earlier years, from the profit and loss account as
funds for future appropriation. This resulted in a lower amount
of transfer to the policyholders account, leading to lower
losses in the profit and loss account for fiscal 2006.
Based on the requirements of Insurance Regulatory Development
Authority, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited has
appropriated an amount of Rs. 968 million
(US$22 million) as funds for future appropriation from the
revenue account (policyholders account) during
fiscal 2007. In case ICICI Prudential Life Insurance
Company Limited had followed the policy of appropriating funds
for future appropriation from the profit and loss account, the
loss for the year would have been lower by
Rs. 968 million (US$22 million) for
fiscal 2007. However, neither the carrying value of funds
for future appropriation nor the debit balance of the profit and
loss account in the balance sheet is impacted by this change.
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited recorded growth
of 88.7% in fiscal 2007 in total gross written premium
to Rs. 30.0 billion (US$697 million) in
fiscal 2007 from Rs. 15.9 billion
(US$369 million) in fiscal 2006. ICICI Lombard General
Insurance Company Limited was the largest private general
insurer with a market share of 34% among the private sector
general insurance companies during the
S-74
fiscal 2007. The profits of ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company Limited are impacted by business set up and customer
acquisition costs, that are expensed as incurred under Indian
GAAP.
The net income of ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company
Limited at year-end
fiscal 2007 increased primarily due to increase in net
premium earned by 102.1%, increase in income from investments by
52.8% and increase in commission income by 51.5%, offset, by
increase in net claims incurred by 109.1% and other operating
expenses. The increase in net written premium was commensurate
with the growth in the businesses and in particular the retail
business, where premium retentions are higher.
The employee expenses for ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company Limited increased by 103.1% primarily due to an increase
in the number of employees to 4,770 at year end
fiscal 2007 from 2,283 at year end fiscal 2006. The
increase in employees was commensurate with the growth in
businesses.

Fiscal 2006 compared to Fiscal 2005 |
The net loss of insurance segment was Rs. 495 million
(US$11 million) for fiscal 2006 compared to
Rs. 1.3 billion (US$30 million) for
fiscal 2005 primarily due to a reduction in the net loss of
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited recorded a total
new business premium of Rs. 26.0 billion
(US$604 million) in fiscal 2006 as compared to
Rs. 15.8 billion (US$367 million) in
fiscal 2005, a growth of 64.6%. There was decrease in the
net loss of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited
primarily due to release of actuarial reserves on policies which
have lapsed in the earlier years, offset by a negative impact
due to timing differences in the accounting policies on premiums
collected on policies sold and non-interest expenses.
Pursuant to a notification issued by Insurance Regulatory
Development Authority dated March 29, 2006, the appointed
actuary of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited has
determined as amount of Rs. 792 million
(US$18 million) as release of actuarial reserves on
policies which have lapsed in the earlier years which was
appropriated from the profit and loss account as funds for
future appropriation. This resulted in a lower amount of
transfer to the policyholders account, leading to lower
losses in the profit and loss account in fiscal 2006.
The non-interest
expense of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited
increased significantly in fiscal 2006 as compared to
fiscal 2005 primarily due to an increase in the employee
expenses and other administrative expenses The employee expenses
for ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company increased by 70.6%
primarily due to a an increase in number of employees to 7,704
at year-end
fiscal 2006 from 5,186 at
year-end
fiscal 2005. The employee expenses for ICICI Prudential
Life Insurance Company Limited has increased due to increase in
its agency force from approximately 56,600 at
year-end
fiscal 2005 to approximately 72,000 as at
year-end
fiscal 2006.
The net income of ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company
Limited at year-end
fiscal 2006 increased marginally as compared to
year-end
fiscal 2005 primarily due to increase in net premium earned
by 144.7%, increase in income from investments by 73.1% and
increase in commission income by 40.8%, offset, by increase in
net claims incurred by 157.4% and other operating expenses. The
increase in net premium was commensurate with the growth in the
businesses especially retail business.
The employee expenses for ICICI Lombard General Insurance
Company Limited increased by 61.7% primarily due to an increase
in the number of employees to 2,283 at year end fiscal 2006
from 1,249 at year end fiscal 2005. The increase in
employees was commensurate with the growth in businesses.

Joint ventures and associates
For fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, TCW/ ICICI Investment Partners
LLC and TSI Ventures (India) Private Limited were classified as
joint ventures. For fiscal 2005 ICICI Prudential Asset
Management Company Limited and ICICI Prudential
Trust Limited were classified as joint ventures. For fiscal
2006, the financial statements of these jointly controlled
entities are consolidated as per AS 21 on
Consolidated Financial Statements consequent to the
limited revision to AS 27 on Financial Reporting of
Interests in Joint Ventures.
Reconciliation of net profit between Indian GAAP and US
GAAP
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with Indian GAAP, which differs, in certain significant aspects
from US GAAP. The following discussion explains the significant
adjustments to our consolidated profit after tax under Indian
GAAP for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005 that would result from the application of US GAAP instead
of Indian GAAP.
Consolidated profit after tax as per Indian GAAP for the year
ended March 31, 2007 of Rs. 27.6 billion
(US$ 641 million) was lower than the net income as per
US GAAP of Rs. 31.3 billion
(US$ 726 million) primarily due to unrealized gains on
venture capital investments accounted for in the income
statement under US GAAP, lower losses for insurance subsidiaries
due to release of actuarial reserves on policies which have
lapsed in the earlier years from the income statement under US
GAAP, gains of Rs. 1.4 billion
(US$ 33 million) on differences in accounting for
securitization, offset in part by amortization of loan
origination fees, net of costs, of Rs. 2.3 billion
(US$ 54 million) and compensation costs on employee
stock options amounting to Rs 0.83 billion
(US$ 19 million).
Consolidated profit after tax as per Indian GAAP for the year
ended March 31, 2006 of Rs. 24.2 billion
(US$ 562 million) was higher than the net income as
per US GAAP of Rs. 20.0 billion
(US$ 465 million) primarily due to additional charges
to the income statement under US GAAP on account of higher
provisions for loan losses of Rs. 5.2 billion
(US$ 121 million) on restructured and other impaired
loans and differences in the accounting for business
combinations of Rs. 1.1 billion
(US$ 24 million), including amortization of intangible
assets created on acquisitions, offset in part by amortization
of loan origination costs, net of fees, of
Rs. 3.2 billion (US$ 73 million).
Consolidated profit after tax as per Indian GAAP for the year
ended March 31, 2005 of Rs. 18.5 billion
(US$ 430 million) was higher than the net income as
per US GAAP of Rs. 8.5 billion
(US$ 198 million) primarily due to additional charges
to the income statement under US GAAP on account of higher
provisions for loan losses of Rs. 14.7 billion
(US$ 340 million) on restructured and other impaired
loans and differences in accounting for derivative transactions
under US GAAP of Rs. 1.5 billion
(US$ 34 million), offset in part by amortization of
loan origination costs, net of fees, of
Rs. 1.9 billion (US$ 45 million).
For a further description of significant differences between
Indian GAAP and US GAAP, a reconciliation of net income and
stockholders equity to US GAAP and certain additional
information required under US GAAP, see notes 22 and
23 to our consolidated financial statements included in our
annual report on
S-77
Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
filed on June 11, 2007, as amended by Form 20-F/A filed on
June 13, 2007 which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus.
Critical Accounting Policies
In order to understand our financial condition and results of
operations, it is important to understand our significant
accounting policies and the extent to which we use judgments and
estimates in applying those policies. Our accounting and
reporting policies are in accordance with Indian GAAP and
conform to standard accounting practices relevant to our
products and services and the businesses in which we operate.
Indian GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the financial statements and the reported income and
expenses during the reported period. Accordingly, we use a
significant amount of judgment and estimates based on
assumptions for which the actual results are uncertain when we
make the estimation.
We have identified three critical accounting policies:
accounting for investments, provisions/ write offs on loans and
other credit facilities and transfer and servicing of assets.
|
|
|
Accounting for Investments |
We account for investments in accordance with the guidelines on
investment classification and valuation issued by the Reserve
Bank of India. We classify all our investments into held to
maturity, available for sale and held for trading. Under each
classification, we further categorize investments into
(a) government securities, (b) other approved
securities, (c) shares, (d) bonds and debentures,
(e) subsidiaries and joint ventures and (f) others.
Held to Maturity securities are carried at their acquisition
cost or at amortized cost, if acquired at a premium over the
face value. Any premium over the face value of the securities
acquired is amortized over its remaining period to maturity on a
constant effective yield basis. We also evaluate our investments
for any other than temporary diminution in its value.
We compute the market value of our securities classified as
available for sale and held for trading in accordance with the
guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India. We amortize the
premium, if any, over the face value of our investments in
government securities classified as available for sale over the
remaining period to maturity on a constant effective yield
basis. We compute the market value our quoted investments based
on the trades/quotes on the recognized stock exchanges, SGL
account transactions, price list of Reserve Bank of India or
prices declared by Primary Dealers Association of India jointly
with Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association
(FIMMDA), periodically.
We compute the market value of our unquoted government
securities included in the Available for Sale and Held for
Trading categories as per the rates published by FIMMDA.
We compute the market value of
non-government
securities, other than those quoted on the stock exchanges,
wherever linked to the
Yield-to-Maturity
(YTM) rates, with a
mark-up (reflecting
associated credit risk) over the yield to maturity rates for
government securities published by FIMMDA.
We compute the market value of our unquoted equity shares at the
book value, if the latest balance sheet (which is not more than
one year prior to the date of the valuation) is available or, at
Rupee 1.
We compute the market value of our securities
scrip-wise and the
depreciation/ appreciation is aggregated for each category. Net
appreciation in each category, if any, being unrealized, is
ignored, while net depreciation is provided for.
We account for repurchase and reverse purchase transactions in
accordance with extant guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of
India.
S-78
|
|
|
Provisions/write-offs
on loans and other credit facilities |
We classify our loans into standard,
sub-standard, and
doubtful assets based on the number of days an account is
overdue. We create provisions on our secured and unsecured
corporate loans classified as
sub-standard and
doubtful assets at rates prescribed by the Reserve Bank of
India. Subject to the minimum provisioning levels prescribed by
the Reserve Bank of India, provision on homogeneous loans
relating to retail assets is assessed on a portfolio level, on
the basis of days past due.
We create provisions for our restructured/ rescheduled loans
based on the present value of the interest sacrifice provided at
the time of restructuring.
We upgrade a restructured
non-performing loan to
a standard account only after the specified period, i.e., a
period of one year after the date on which the first
payment of interest or of principal, whichever is earlier, is
due, subject to satisfactory performance of the account during
the period. We upgrade all other
non-performing loans to
a standard account if arrears of interest and principal are
fully paid by the borrower.
We also create general provisions on our standard loans based on
the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
Additionally, we also create provisions on individual country
exposures (other than for home country exposures). The countries
are categorized into seven risk categories namely insignificant,
low, moderate, high, very high, restricted and
off-credit and
provisioning is made on the exposures exceeding 90 days on
a graded scale ranging from 0.25% to 100%. For exposures with
contractual maturity of less than 90 days, 25% of the
provisions is required to be held. We do not create provisions
if the country exposure (net) in respect of each country does
not exceed 1% of our total funded assets.
|
|
|
Transfer and servicing of assets |
We transfer commercial and consumer loans through securitization
transactions. The transferred loans are
de-recognised and
gains/ losses, net of provisions, are accounted for only if we
surrender the rights to benefits specified in the loan contract.
Recourse and servicing obligations are deducted from proceeds of
the sale. We measure the retained beneficial interests in the
loans by allocating the carrying value of the loans between the
assets sold and the retained interest, based on the relative
fair value at the date of the securitization.
Effective February 1, 2006, we account for any loss arising
on sale immediately at the time of sale and the profit/ premium
arising on account of sale is amortized over the life of the
securities issued or to be issued by the special purpose vehicle
to which the assets are sold.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, Fair
value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The
Statement allows companies to elect to measure specified
financial instruments at fair value on an
instrument-by-instrument
basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each
reporting period. The Statement applies to all reporting
entities, contains
financial-statement
presentation and disclosure requirements, and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair
value measurements. It establishes a single authoritative
definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring
fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value
measurements. The Statement applies only to fair value
measurements that are already required or permitted and is
expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. The
Statement is effective for
fair-value measures
already required or permitted by other standards for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal
years.

Accounting for servicing of financial assets |
In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156,
Accounting for servicing of financial assets, which amends FASB
Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This
Statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or
servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to
service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract
in any of the specified conditions. It requires all separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be
initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It permits an
entity to use either the amortization method or the fair value
measurement method for subsequent measurement of the asset or
liability. This Statement is applicable for the first fiscal
year which begins after September 15, 2006.
|
|
|
Hybrid financial instruments |
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued statement No. 155
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments.
(SFAS No. 155). SFAS No. 155
permits fair value measurement for any hybrid financial
instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would
otherwise require bifurcation. It allows an irrevocable election
to be made to initially and subsequently measure such a hybrid
financial instrument at fair value, with changes in fair value
recognized through income. Such election needs to be supported
by concurrent documentation. SFAS No. 155 is effective
for financial years beginning after 15 September 2006, with
early adoption permitted. We are currently considering the
impact of adoption of SFAS No. 155.
|
|
|
Accounting for uncertainty in Income Taxes |
In July 2006, the FASB issued the final Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,
(FIN 48). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions that
relate to income taxes subject to Financial Accounting Standard
Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
(FAS 109). This includes tax positions considered to be
routine as well as those with a high degree of
uncertainty. FIN 48 utilizes a
two-step approach for
evaluating tax provisions. Recognition (step one) occurs
when an enterprise concludes that a tax provision, based solely
on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained
upon examination. Measurement (step two) is only addressed
if step one has been satisfied (i.e., the position is more
likely than not to be sustained). Under step two, the tax
benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined
on a cumulative probability basis, that is more likely than not
to be realized upon ultimate statement. We have evaluated and
examined the impact of this pronouncement and we believe that
adoption of FIN 48 on April 1, 2007 will not have a
material effect on the results of our operations.

History
ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World
Bank, the government of India and Indian industry
representatives. The principal objective was to create a
development financial institution for providing medium-term and
long-term project financing to Indian businesses. Until the late
1980s, ICICI primarily focused its activities on project
finance, providing long-term funds to a variety of industrial
projects. With the liberalization of the financial sector in
India in the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a
development financial institution offering only project finance
to a diversified financial services provider that, along with
its subsidiaries and other group companies, offered a wide
variety of products and services. As Indias economy became
more market-oriented and integrated with the world economy,
ICICI capitalized on the new opportunities to provide a
wider range of financial products and services to a broader
spectrum of clients.
ICICI Bank was incorporated in 1994 as a part of the
ICICI group. ICICI Banks initial equity capital was
contributed 75.0% by ICICI and 25.0% by SCICI Limited, a
diversified finance and shipping finance lender of which
ICICI owned 19.9% at December 1996. Pursuant to the merger
of SCICI into ICICI, ICICI Bank became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ICICI. ICICIs holding in ICICI Bank
reduced due to additional capital raising by ICICI Bank and
sale of shares by ICICI, pursuant to the requirement stipulated
by the Reserve Bank of India that ICICI dilute its
ownership of ICICI Bank. Effective March 10, 2001,
ICICI Bank acquired Bank of Madura, an old private sector
bank, in an all-stock merger.
The issue of universal banking, which in the Indian context
means conversion of long-term lending institutions such as
ICICI into commercial banks, had been discussed at length
over the past several years. Conversion into a bank offered
ICICI the ability to accept low-cost demand deposits and
offer a wider range of products and services, and greater
opportunities for earning non-fund based income in the form of
banking fees and commissions. ICICI Bank also considered
various strategic alternatives in the context of the emerging
competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry.
ICICI Bank identified a large capital base and size and
scale of operations as key success factors in the Indian banking
industry. In view of the benefits of transformation into a bank
and the Reserve Bank of Indias pronouncements on universal
banking, ICICI and ICICI Bank decided to merge.
At the time of the merger, both ICICI Bank and
ICICI were publicly listed in India and on the New York
Stock Exchange. The amalgamation was approved by each of the
boards of directors of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial
Services, ICICI Capital Services and ICICI Bank at
their respective board meetings held on October 25, 2001.
The amalgamation was approved by ICICI Banks and
ICICIs shareholders at their extraordinary general
meetings held on January 25, 2002 and January 30,
2002, respectively. The amalgamation was sanctioned by the High
Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad on March 7, 2002 and by the
High Court of Judicature at Bombay on April 11, 2002. The
amalgamation was approved by the Reserve Bank India on
April 26, 2002. The amalgamation became effective on
May 3, 2002. The date of the amalgamation for accounting
purposes under Indian GAAP was March 30, 2002.

Overview of ICICI Banks Products and Services
We offer a variety of financial products and services in the
areas of commercial banking, investment banking and insurance.
|
|
|
Commercial Banking for Retail Customers |
With upward migration of household income levels, affordability
and availability of retail finance and acceptance of the use of
credit to finance purchases, retail credit has emerged as a
rapidly growing opportunity for banks that have the necessary
skills and infrastructure to succeed in this business. While
recent increases in interest rates and asset prices as well as a
larger base of retail credit have resulted in moderation in
growth rates, we believe that the Indian retail financial
services market has the potential for sustained growth. The key
dimensions of our retail strategy are a wide range of products,
customer convenience, wide distribution, strong processes and
prudent risk management. Cross-selling of the entire range of
credit and investment products and banking services to our
customers is a critical aspect of our retail strategy.
Our commercial banking operations for retail customers consist
of retail lending and deposits, credit cards, depositary share
accounts, distribution of third-party investment and insurance
products, other fee-based products and services and issuance of
unsecured redeemable bonds.
|
|
|
Retail Lending Activities |
We offer a range of retail asset products, including home loans,
automobile loans, commercial business loans (including primarily
commercial vehicle loans), two wheeler loans, personal loans,
credit cards, loans against time deposits and loans against
securities. We also fund dealers who sell automobiles, two
wheelers, consumer durables and commercial vehicles. We have
capitalized on the growing retail opportunity in India and
believe that we have emerged as a market leader in retail
credit, with an outstanding retail finance portfolio of
Rs. 1,364.5 billion (US$31.7 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2007. Our retail asset products are generally fixed rate
products repayable in equal monthly installments with the
exception of our floating rate home loan portfolio, where any
change in the benchmark rate to which the rate of interest on
the loan is referenced is passed on to the borrower on the first
day of the succeeding quarter or month, as applicable. Any
decrease in the rate of interest payable on floating rate home
loans is effected by an acceleration of the repayment schedule,
keeping the monthly installment amount unchanged. Any increase
in the rate of interest payable on floating rate home loans is
effected first by a prolongation of the repayment schedule,
keeping the monthly installment amount unchanged, and based on
certain criteria, by changing the monthly installment amount.
See also Risk Factors Risks Relating to Our
Business Our banking and trading activities are
particularly vulnerable to interest rate risk and volatility in
interest rates could adversely affect our net interest margin,
the value of our fixed income portfolio, our income from
treasury operations, the quality of our loan portfolio and our
financial performance.

to risk hedging needs of corporates at domestic and
international locations, arising out of currency and interest

|
|
|
Foreign exchange products |
These products include spot, cash and forward transactions which
enable customers to hedge the risks arising out of currency rate
fluctuation based on their underlying exposure in a particular

|
|

|
Commercial Banking for Rural and Agricultural
Customers |
We believe that rural India offers a major growth opportunity
for financial services and have identified this as a key focus
area. The Reserve Bank of Indias directed lending norms
require us to lend a portion of our advances to the rural and
agricultural sector. See Loan
Portfolio Directed Lending. Rural banking
presents significant challenges in terms of geographical
coverage and high unit transaction costs. See also Risk
Factors Risks Relating to our Business
Our rapid retail expansion in India and our rural initiative
expose us to increased risks that may adversely affect our
business.. Our rural banking strategy seeks to adopt a
holistic approach to the financial needs of various segments of
the rural population, by delivering a comprehensive product
suite encompassing credit, transaction banking, deposit,
investment and insurance. We provide corporate banking products
and services to corporate clients engaged in agriculture-linked
businesses.
S-88
We are seeking to grow our rural individual and household
lending portfolio by developing and scaling up credit products
to various segments of the rural population, whether engaged in
agriculture or other economic activity. Our rural credit
products for individuals and households include loans to farmers
for cultivation, post-harvest financing against warehouse
receipts, loans for purchase of tractors, working capital for
trading and small enterprises, loans against jewellery and
micro-finance loans for various purposes. We are seeking to
roll-out our rural strategy and reach out to rural customers
through partnerships with micro-finance institutions and
companies active in rural areas. Our rural delivery channels
include branches, micro-finance institution partners,
third-party kiosks and franchisees. See also
Competition.

|
|
Commercial Banking for International Customers |
We believe that the international markets present a major growth
opportunity and have, therefore, expanded the range of our
commercial banking products to international customers. Our
strategy for growth in international markets is based on
leveraging home country links, technology and infrastructure for
international expansion by capturing market share in select
international markets. The initial focus areas are supporting
Indian companies in raising corporate and project finance for
their investments abroad, trade finance, personal financial
services for non-resident Indians and international alliances to
support domestic businesses. We have over the last few years
built a large network of correspondent relationships with
international banks across all major countries. Most of these
countries have significant trade and other relationships with
India.
Many of the commercial banking products that we offer to
international customers, such as trade finance and letters of
credit, are similar to the products offered to our corporate
customers in India. Some of the products and services offered by
ICICI Bank that are unique to international customers are:
|
|
|
|
|

centers and the Internet. We also have direct marketing agents
or associates, who deliver our retail credit products. These
agents help us achieve deeper penetration by offering doorstep
service to the customer.
At year-end fiscal 2007, we had a network of 710 branches and 45
extension counters across several Indian states. Extension
counters are small offices primarily within office buildings or
on factory premises that provide commercial banking services.
As a part of its branch licensing conditions, the Reserve Bank
of India has stipulated that at least 25.0% of our branches must
be located in semi-urban and rural areas. The following table

Pursuant to the amalgamation of Sangli Bank with us effective
April 19, 2007 our branch network has increased by over 190
branches and extension counters.
At year-end fiscal 2007, we had 3,271 ATMs, of which 1,150 were
located at our branches and extension counters. Through our
website www.icicibank.com, we offer our customers online
access to account information and payment and fund transfer
facilities. We provide Internet banking services to our
corporate clients through ICICI
e-business, a finance
portal which is the single point web-based interface for all our
corporate clients. We provide telephone banking services through
our call center. At year-end fiscal 2007, our call center had
over 4,400 workstations in India. We offer mobile phone banking
services to our customers using any cellular telephone service
operator in India.
Our investment banking operations principally consist of our
treasury operations and the operations of ICICI Securities
Primary Dealership Limited and ICICI Securities Limited.
Through our treasury operations at domestic and foreign
locations, we seek to manage our balance sheet, including the
maintenance of required regulatory reserves, and to optimize
profits from our trading portfolio by taking advantage of market
opportunities. Our domestic trading and securities portfolio
includes our regulatory reserve portfolio, as there is no
restriction on active management of our regulatory reserve
portfolio. Our treasury operations include a range of products
and services for corporate customers, such as forward contracts
and interest rate and currency swaps, and foreign exchange
products and services. See Commercial Banking
for Corporate Customers Foreign Exchange and
Derivatives.

Our domestic treasury undertakes liquidity management by seeking
to maintain an optimum level of liquidity and complying with the
cash reserve ratio requirement. The objective is to ensure the
smooth functioning of all our branches and at the same time
avoid holding excessive cash. We maintain a balance between
interest-earning liquid assets and cash to optimize earnings and
undertake reserve management by maintaining statutory reserves,
including the cash reserve ratio and the statutory liquidity
ratio. Under the Reserve Bank of Indias statutory
liquidity ratio requirement, ICICI Bank is required to maintain
a minimum of 25.0% of its net demand and time liabilities by way
of approved securities, such as government of India securities
and state government securities. See Supervision and
Regulation Legal Reserve Requirements
Statutory Liquidity Ratio in our annual report on Form
20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on
June 11, 2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus. ICICI Bank maintains the statutory
liquidity ratio through a portfolio of government of India
securities that it actively manages to optimize the yield and
benefit from price movements.
Further, we engage in domestic and foreign exchange operations.
As part of our treasury activities, we also maintain proprietary
trading portfolios in domestic debt and equity securities and in
foreign currency assets. Our treasury manages our foreign
currency exposures and the foreign exchange and risk hedging
derivative products offered to our customers and engages in
proprietary trading of currencies. Our investment and market
risk policies are approved by the Risk Committee and the Asset
Liability Management Committee.
Our domestic investments portfolio is classified into three
categories held to maturity, available for sale and
held for trading. Investments acquired with the intention to
hold them up to maturity are classified as held to maturity
subject to the extant regulation issued by the Reserve Bank of
India. Investments acquired by us with the intention to trade by
taking advantage of the short-term price/interest rate movements
are classified as held for trading. The investments which do not
fall in the above two categories are classified as available for
sale. Investments under the held for trading category should be
sold within 90 days; in the event of inability to sell due
to adverse factors including tight liquidity, extreme volatility
or a unidirectional movement in the market, the unsold
securities should be shifted to the available for sale category.
Under each category the investments are classified under
(a) government securities (b) other approved
securities (c) shares (d) bonds and debentures
(e) subsidiaries and joint ventures and (f) others.
Investments classified under the held to maturity category are
not marked to market and are carried at acquisition cost, unless
it is more than the face value, in which case the premium is
amortized over the period of such securities. At year-end fiscal
2007, 76.2% of ICICI Banks government securities portfolio
was in the held to maturity category. The individual scrips in
the available for sale category are marked to market.
Investments under this category are valued scrip-wise and
depreciation/ appreciation is aggregated for each
classification. Net depreciation, if any, is provided for. Net
appreciation, if any, is ignored. The individual scripts in the
held for trading category are marked to market as in the case of
those in the available for sale category.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
composition of our total trading portfolio.

The amortized cost of our held to maturity portfolio amounted to
Rs. 544.3 billion (US$12.6 billion) at year-end

at year-end fiscal 2006, Rs. 335.0 billion
(US$7.8 billion) at year-end fiscal 2005). The gross
unrealized gain on this portfolio was Rs. 6.8 billion

(Rs. 7.9 billion (US$183 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006, Rs. 5.9 billion (US$137 million) at
year-end fiscal 2005). The gross unrealized loss on this
portfolio was Rs. 12.8 billion (US$298 million)
at year-end fiscal 2007 (Rs. 8.0 billion
(US$186 million) at year-end fiscal 2006,
Rs. 6.9 billion (US$160 million) at year-end
fiscal 2005).
We have a limited equity portfolio because the Reserve Bank of
India restricts investments by a bank in equity securities. See
also Supervision and Regulation Reserve Bank
of India Regulations Regulations
S-93
relating to Investments and Capital Market Exposure Limits
in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2007 filed on June 11, 2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus.
In general, we pursue a strategy of active management of our
long-term equity portfolio to maximize return on investment. To
ensure compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of
Indias insider trading regulations, all dealings in our
equity investments in listed companies are undertaken by the
equity and corporate bonds dealing desks of our treasury, which
are segregated from our other business groups as well as the
other groups and desks in the treasury, and which do not have
access to unpublished price sensitive information about these
companies that may be available to us as a lender.
We deal in several major foreign currencies and take deposits
from non-resident Indians in four major foreign currencies. We
also manage onshore accounts in foreign currencies. The foreign
exchange treasury manages its portfolio through money market and
foreign exchange instruments to optimize yield and liquidity.
We provide a variety of risk management products to our
corporate and small and medium enterprise clients, including
foreign currency forward contracts and currency and interest
rate swaps. We control market risk and credit risk on our
foreign exchange trading portfolio through an internal model
which sets counterparty limits, stop-loss limits and limits on
the loss of the entire foreign exchange trading operations and
exception reporting. See also Risk Management

Venture capital and private equity |
Our subsidiary ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited
manages funds that provide venture capital funding to
start-up companies and
private equity to a range of companies. At year-end fiscal 2007,
ICICI Venture managed or advised funds of approximately
Rs. 98.0 billion (US$2.3 billion).
We provide a wide range of insurance products and services
through our subsidiaries ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company
Limited and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited and ICICI
Lombard General Insurance Company Limited are joint ventures
with Prudential plc of UK and Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited
of Canada, respectively. We have approximately 74.0% interest in
both these entities. Subject to the amendment of foreign
ownership regulations, Prudential plc has the right to increase
its shareholding in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company
Limited to 49.0% at the market value of the shares to be
determined as mutually agreed. Laws and regulations governing
insurance companies currently provide that each promoter should
eventually reduce its stake to 26% following the completion of
10 years from the commencement of business by the concerned
insurance company. We and Prudential have agreed that if a
higher level of promoter shareholding is permitted, then this
would be in the proportion of 51.0% being held by us and 49.0%
being held by Prudential. See Supervision and
Regulation Regulations Governing Insurance
Companies in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11, 2007, as
amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus. Further, we and each of the joint
venture partners have a right of first refusal in case the other
partner proposes to sell its shareholding in the joint venture
(other than transfers to a permitted affiliate of the
transferor). We collect fees from these subsidiaries for
generating leads and providing referrals that are converted into
policies. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited
incurred a net loss of Rs. 6.5 billion
(US$150 million) in fiscal 2007. As would be typical for
life insurance companies during the periods of high growth, the
loss was due to business
set-up and customer
acquisition costs as well as reserving for actuarial liability.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance recorded a total new business
premium of
S-94
Rs. 51.6 billion (US$1.2 billion) during fiscal
2007 as compared to Rs. 26.0 billion
(US$604 million) during fiscal 2006, a growth of 98.4%.
According to data published by the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority of India, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance
was the largest player in the retail segment of the private
sector life insurance market with a market share of about 28%
during fiscal 2007 (on weighted received premium basis). ICICI
Lombard General Insurance Company Limited made a net profit of
Rs. 684 million (US$16 million) in fiscal 2007.
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Companys profits are
impacted by business set up and customer acquisition costs, that
are expensed as incurred under Indian GAAP. ICICI Lombard
General Insurance recorded a total gross written premium of
Rs. 30.0 billion (US$697 million) during fiscal
2007 as compared to Rs. 15.9 billion
(US$369 million) during fiscal 2006, a growth of 88.7%.
According to data published by the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority of India, ICICI Lombard General Insurance
was the largest private general insurer with a market share of
34% in gross written premium among the private sector general
insurance companies during the year ended fiscal 2007. We expect
our insurance joint ventures to experience significant growth.
Our board of directors has approved subject to the receipt of
all regulatory approvals, the transfer of our equity
shareholding in ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited,
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited, ICICI
Prudential Asset Management Company Limited and ICICI Prudential
Trust Limited to a proposed new subsidiary. ICICI Bank
proposes to transfer its aggregate investment in these companies
of Rs. 22.3 billion (US$517 million) at year-end
fiscal 2007 and any further investments that may be made by it
prior to such transfer, to the proposed new subsidiary at the
book value of these investments in its books on the date of
transfer. The proposed new subsidiary proposes to raise equity
capital through private placements or an initial public offering
to meet the future capital requirements of the insurance
subsidiaries. Pursuant to initiation of discussions with
potential investors for investment in the proposed new
subsidiary, we have received definitive offers from investors
for subscription to equity shares of the proposed new subsidiary
and for entering into definitive agreements for this purpose.
The subscription amount is Rs. 26.50 billion towards fresh issue
of shares by the proposed new subsidiary, and the investors
would thereby acquire a collective stake of 5.9% in the proposed
new subsidiary, valuing it at Rs. 446.00 billion on a
post-issue basis. Naturally, any such implied valuation may vary
over time depending upon the business of the proposed new
subsidiary, the nature of the financing round and other
elements. The arrangement is subject to receipt of regulatory
and other approvals including that of the Reserve Bank of India,
the Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority and the
Foreign Investment Promotion Board, and would terminate failing
receipt of such approvals within a mutually agreed date. While
we have not received any official communication from the Foreign
Investment Promotion Board in respect of our application, we
have been given to understand that our application has not been
approved by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board at its
meeting on June 22, 2007. We will, in consultation with our
advisors, evaluate the further steps to be taken to obtain the
requisite approvals in this regard. An affiliate of Goldman
Sachs International, one of the underwriters for this ADS
Offering, has presented a definitive offer to subscribe for
shares constituting 2.02% of the post-issue equity capital of
the proposed new subsidiary. See Risk Factors
Risks Relating to Our Business We have proposed a
reorganization of our holdings in our insurance and asset
management subsidiaries and our inability to implement this
reorganization as well as the significant additional capital
required by these businesses may adversely impact our business
and the price of our equity shares and ADSs.
Funding
Our funding operations are designed to ensure stability of
funding, minimize funding costs and effectively manage
liquidity. Since the amalgamation of ICICI with ICICI Bank, the
primary source of funding has been deposits raised from both
retail and corporate customers. We also raise funds through
short-term rupee borrowings and domestic or overseas bond
offerings pursuant to specific regulatory approvals. Because
ICICI was not allowed to raise banking deposits as a financial
institution, its primary sources of funding prior to the
amalgamation were retail bonds and rupee borrowings from a wide
range of institutional investors. ICICI also raised funds
through foreign currency borrowings from commercial banks and
other multilateral institutions like the Asian Development Bank
and the World Bank, which were guaranteed by the government of
India. With regard to these guarantees by the Government of
India for purposes of obtaining foreign currency borrowings, the
Government of India has, in its letter dated May 31, 2007,
instructed us to
S-95
take steps to either repay or prepay such foreign currency
borrowings for which a guarantee has been provided by the
Government of India or to substitute the guarantees provided by
the Government of India with other acceptable guarantees. At
year-end fiscal 2007, the total outstanding loans/ bonds of
ICICI Bank that are guaranteed by the Government of India were
Rs. 33,966.7 million, constituting approximately 4.8%
of the total borrowings (including subordinated debt) of ICICI
Bank at that date. We are in the process of replying to the
Government of India in connection with this matter.
Our deposits were 63.0% of our total liabilities at year-end
fiscal 2007 compared to 62.2% of our total liabilities at
year-end fiscal 2006. Our borrowings were 15.6% of our total
liabilities at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to 16.2% of our
total liabilities at year-end fiscal 2006. Our deposits
increased 44.2% to Rs. 2,486.1 billion
(US$57.7 billion) at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to
Rs. 1,724.5 billion (US$40.0 billion) at year-end
fiscal 2006. This significant growth in deposits was achieved
primarily through increased focus on retail and corporate
customers by offering a wide range of products designed to meet
varied individual and corporate needs and leveraging on our
network of branches, extension counters and ATMs. Our borrowings
increased to Rs. 616.6 billion (US$14.3 billion)
at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to Rs. 450.0 billion
(US$10.4 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006, primarily due to
the increase in foreign currency borrowings.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the
break-up of deposits by
type of deposit.

Risk Management
As a financial intermediary, we are exposed to risks that are
particular to our lending, transaction banking and trading
businesses and the environment within which we operate. Our goal
in risk management is to ensure that we understand, measure and
monitor the various risks that arise and that the organization
adheres strictly to the policies and procedures, which are
established to address these risks.
ICICI Bank is primarily exposed to credit risk, market risk,
liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. ICICI Bank has
three centralized groups, the Global Risk Management Group, the
Compliance Group and the
S-98
Internal Audit Group with a mandate to identify, assess and
monitor all of ICICI Banks principal risks in accordance
with well-defined policies and procedures. The Global Risk
Management Group is further organized into the Global Credit
Risk Management Group and the Global Market and Operational Risk
Management Group. In addition, the Credit and Treasury Middle
Office Groups and the Global Operations Group monitor
operational adherence to regulations, policies and internal
approvals. The Global Risk Management Group, Middle Office
Groups and Global Operations Group report to a wholetime
Director. The Compliance Group reports to the Audit Committee of
the board of directors and the Managing Director and CEO. The
Internal Audit Group reports to the Audit Committee of the board
of directors. These groups are independent of the business units
and coordinate with representatives of the business units to
implement ICICI Banks risk management methodologies.
Committees of the board of directors have been constituted to
oversee the various risk management activities. The Audit
Committee provides direction to and also monitors the quality of
the internal audit function. The Risk Committee reviews risk
management policies in relation to various risks including
portfolio, liquidity, interest rate, investment policies and
strategy, and regulatory and compliance issues in relation
thereto. The Credit Committee reviews developments in key
industrial sectors and our exposure to these sectors as well as
to large borrower accounts. The Asset Liability Management
Committee is responsible for managing the balance sheet and
reviewing the asset-liability position to manage ICICI
Banks liquidity and market risk exposure. For a discussion
of these and other committees, see Management.
The Compliance Group is responsible for the regulatory and
anti-money laundering compliance of ICICI Bank.
ICICI Banks credit policy is approved by its board of
directors. In its lending operations, ICICI Bank is principally
exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss that may
occur from the failure of any party to abide by the terms and
conditions of any financial contract with ICICI Bank,
principally the failure to make required payments on loans and
interest due to ICICI Bank. ICICI Bank measures, monitors and
manages credit risk for each borrower and at the portfolio
level. ICICI Bank has a structured and standardized credit
approval process, which includes a well established procedure of
comprehensive credit appraisal.
|
|
|
Credit Risk Assessment Procedures for Corporate Loans |
In order to assess the credit risk associated with any financing
proposal, ICICI Bank assesses a variety of risks relating to the
borrower and the relevant industry. Borrower risk is evaluated
by considering:
|
|
|
|
|
the financial position of the borrower by analyzing the quality
of its financial statements, its past financial performance, its
financial flexibility in terms of ability to raise capital and
its cash flow adequacy; |
|
|
|
the borrowers relative market position and operating
efficiency; and |
|
|
|
the quality of management by analyzing their track record,
payment record and financial conservatism. |
Industry risk is evaluated by considering:
|
|
|
|
|
certain industry characteristics, such as the importance of the
industry to the economy, its growth outlook, cyclicality and
government policies relating to the industry; |
|
|
|
the competitiveness of the industry; and |
|
|
|
certain industry financials, including return on capital
employed, operating margins and earnings stability. |
After conducting an analysis of a specific borrowers risk,
the Global Credit Risk Management Group assigns a credit rating
to the borrower. ICICI Bank has a scale of 10 ratings ranging
from AAA to B, an additional default rating of D and
short-term ratings from
S1 to S8. Credit rating is a critical input for the
S-99
credit approval process. ICICI Bank determines the desired
credit risk spread over its cost of funds by considering the
borrowers credit rating and the default pattern
corresponding to the credit rating. Every proposal for a
financing facility is prepared by the relevant business unit and
reviewed by the appropriate industry specialists in the Global
Credit Risk Management Group before being submitted for approval
to the appropriate approval authority. The approval process for
non-fund facilities is
similar to that for
fund-based facilities.
The credit rating for every borrower is reviewed at least
annually. ICICI Bank also reviews the ratings of all borrowers
in a particular industry upon the occurrence of any significant
event impacting that industry.
Working capital loans are generally approved for a period of
12 months. At the end of the 12 month validity period
(18 months in case of borrowers rated AA- and above), ICICI
Bank reviews the loan arrangement and the credit rating of the
borrower and takes a decision on continuation of the arrangement
and changes in the loan covenants as may be necessary.
|
|
|
Project Finance Procedures |
ICICI Bank has a strong framework for the appraisal and
execution of project finance transactions. ICICI Bank believes
that this framework creates optimal risk identification,
allocation and mitigation, and helps minimize residual risk.
The project finance approval process begins with a detailed
evaluation of technical, commercial, financial, marketing and
management factors and the sponsors financial strength and
experience. Once this review is completed, an appraisal
memorandum is prepared for credit approval purposes. As part of
the appraisal process, a risk matrix is generated, which
identifies each of the project risks, mitigating factors and
residual risks associated with the project. The appraisal
memorandum analyzes the risk matrix and establishes the
viability of the project. Typical risk mitigating factors
include the commitment of
stand-by funds from the
sponsors to meet any cost
over-runs and a
conservative collateral position. After credit approval, a
letter of intent is issued to the borrower, which outlines the
principal financial terms of the proposed facility, sponsor
obligations, conditions precedent to disbursement, undertakings
from and covenants on the borrower. After completion of all
formalities by the borrower, a loan agreement is entered into
with the borrower.
In addition to the above, in the case of structured project
finance in areas such as infrastructure, oil, gas and
petrochemicals, as a part of the due diligence process, ICICI
Bank appoints consultants, wherever considered necessary, to
advise the lenders, including technical advisors, business
analysts, legal counsel and insurance consultants. These
consultants are typically internationally recognized and
experienced in their respective fields. Risk mitigating factors
in these financings generally also include creation of debt
service reserves and channeling project revenues through a trust
and retention account.
ICICI Banks project finance credits are generally fully
secured and have full recourse to the borrower. In most cases,
ICICI Bank has a security interest and first lien on all the
fixed assets and a second lien on all the current assets of the
borrower. Security interests typically include property, plant
and equipment as well as other tangible assets of the borrower,
both present and future. ICICI Banks borrowers are
required to maintain comprehensive insurance on their assets
where ICICI Bank is recognized as payee in the event of loss. In
some cases, ICICI Bank also takes additional collateral in the
form of corporate or personal guarantees from one or more
sponsors of the project and a pledge of the sponsors
equity holding in the project company. In certain industry
segments, ICICI Bank also takes security interest in relevant
project contracts such as concession agreements,
off-take agreements and
construction contracts as part of the security package. In
limited cases, loans are also guaranteed by commercial banks
and, in the past, have also been guaranteed by Indian state
governments or the government of India.
It is ICICI Banks current practice to normally disburse
funds after the entire project funding is committed and all
necessary contractual arrangements have been entered into. Funds
are disbursed in tranches to pay for approved project costs as
the project progresses. When ICICI Bank appoints technical and
market consultants, they are required to monitor the
projects progress and certify all disbursements. ICICI
Bank also requires the borrower to submit periodic reports on
project implementation, including orders for machinery and
equipment as well as expenses incurred. Project completion is
contingent upon satisfactory operation of
S-100
the project for a certain minimum period and, in certain cases,
the establishment of debt service reserves. We continue to
monitor the credit exposure until our loans are fully repaid.
|
|
|
Corporate Finance Procedures |
As part of the corporate loan approval procedures, ICICI Bank
carries out a detailed analysis of funding requirements,
including normal capital expenses,
long-term working
capital requirements and temporary imbalances in liquidity.
ICICI Banks funding of
long-term core working
capital requirements is assessed on the basis, among other
things, of the borrowers present and proposed level of
inventory and receivables. In case of corporate loans for other
funding requirements, ICICI Bank undertakes a detailed review of
those requirements and an analysis of cash flows. A substantial
portion of our corporate finance loans are secured by a lien
over appropriate assets of the borrower.
The focus of our structured corporate finance products is on
cash flow based financing. ICICI Bank has a set of distinct
approval procedures to evaluate and mitigate the risks
associated with such products. These procedures include:
|
|
|
|
|
carrying out a detailed analysis of cash flows to accurately
forecast the amounts that will be paid and the timing of the
payments based on an exhaustive analysis of historical data; |
|
|
|
conducting due diligence on the underlying business systems,
including a detailed evaluation of the servicing and collection
procedures and the underlying contractual arrangements; and |
|
|
|
paying particular attention to the legal, accounting and tax
issues that may impact any structure. |
ICICI Banks analysis enables it to identify risks in these
transactions. To mitigate risks, ICICI Bank uses various credit
enhancement techniques, such as
over-collateralization,
cash collateralization, creation of escrow accounts and debt
service reserves and performance guarantees. The residual risk
is typically managed by complete or partial recourse to the
borrowing company whose credit risk is evaluated as described
above. ICICI Bank also has a monitoring framework to enable
continuous review of the performance of such transactions.
With respect to financing for corporate mergers and
acquisitions, we carry out detailed due diligence on the
acquirer as well as the targets business profile. The key
areas covered in the appraisal process include:
|
|
|
|
|
assessment of the industry structure in the targets host
country and the complexity of the business operations of the
target; |
|
|
|
financial, legal, tax, technical due diligence (as applicable)
of the target; |
|
|
|
appraisal of potential synergies and likelihood of their being
achieved; |
|
|
|
assessment of the target companys valuation by comparison
with its peer group and other transactions in the industry; |
|
|
|
analysis of regulatory and legal framework of the overseas
geographies with regard to security creation, enforcement and
other aspects; |
|
|
|
assessment of country risk aspects and the need for political
insurance; and |
|
|
|
the proposed management structure of the target post takeover
and the ability and past experience of the acquirer in
completing post merger integration. |
|
|
|
Working Capital Finance Procedures |
ICICI Bank carries out a detailed analysis of the
borrowers working capital requirements. Credit limits are
established in accordance with the approval authorization
approved by ICICI Banks board of directors. Once credit
limits are approved, ICICI Bank calculates the amounts that can
be lent on the basis of monthly statements provided by the
borrower and the margins stipulated. Quarterly information
statements are also obtained from borrowers to monitor the
performance on a regular basis. Monthly cash flow statements are
S-101
obtained where considered necessary. Any irregularity in the
conduct of the account is reported to the appropriate authority
on a monthly basis. Credit limits are reviewed on a periodic
basis.
Working capital facilities are primarily secured by inventories
and receivables. Additionally, in certain cases, these credit
facilities are secured by personal guarantees of directors, or
subordinated security interests in the tangible assets of the
borrower including plant and machinery.
|
|
|
Credit Monitoring Procedures for Corporate Loans |
The Credit Middle Office Group monitors compliance with the
terms and conditions for credit facilities prior to
disbursement. It also reviews the completeness of documentation,
creation of security and insurance policies for assets financed.
All borrower accounts are reviewed at least once a year.
Our customers for retail loans are typically middle and
high-income, salaried or
self-employed
individuals, and, in some cases, partnerships and corporations.
Except for personal loans and credit cards, we require a
contribution from the borrower and our loans are secured by the
asset financed. Our portfolio of personal loans includes
micro-banking loans,
which are relatively small value loans to lower income customers
in urban areas.
Our retail credit product operations are sub-divided into
various product lines. Each product line is further
sub-divided into
separate sales and credit groups. The Global Credit Risk
Management Group, which is independent of the business groups,
approves all new retail products and product policies and credit
approval authorizations. All products and policies require the
approval of the Retail Credit Forum comprised of senior
managers. All credit approval authorizations require the
approval of our board of directors.
ICICI Bank uses direct marketing associates as well as its own
branch network and employees for marketing retail credit
products. However, credit approval authority lies only with
ICICI Banks credit officers who are distinct from the
business teams. The delegation of credit approval authority is
linked, among other factors, to the size of the credit and the
authority delegated to credit officers varies across different
products.
ICICI Banks credit officers evaluate credit proposals on
the basis of the product policy approved by the Retail Credit
Forum and the risk assessment criteria defined by the Global
Credit Risk Management Group. These criteria vary across product
segments but typically include factors such as the
borrowers income, the
loan-to-value ratio,
demographic parameters and certain stability factors. In case of
credit cards, in order to limit the scope of individual
discretion, ICICI Bank has implemented a
credit-scoring program
that is an automated credit approval system that assigns a
credit score to each applicant based on certain demographic
attributes like income, educational background and age. The
credit score then forms the basis of loan evaluation. External
agencies such as field investigation agencies and credit
processing agencies are used to facilitate a comprehensive due
diligence process including visits to offices and homes in the
case of loans to individual borrowers. Before disbursements are
made, the credit officer checks a centralized delinquent
database and reviews the borrowers profile. In making its
credit decisions, ICICI Bank draws upon reports from the Credit
Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL). However, CIBIL has
become operational recently and does not yet provide a credit
score. ICICI Bank also avails the services of certain private
agencies operating in India to check applications before
disbursement. as a formal national credit bureau has only
recently become operational in India. A centralized retail
credit team undertakes review and audit of credit quality and
processes across different products.
ICICI Bank has established centralized operations to manage
operating risk in the various back office processes of ICICI
Banks retail loan business except for a few operations
which are decentralized to improve turnaround time for customers.
ICICI Bank has a collections unit structured along various
product lines and geographical locations, to manage delinquency
levels. The collections unit operates under the guidelines of a
standardized recovery process. ICICI Bank also makes use of
external collection agencies to aid us in collection efforts,
including
S-102
collateral repossession in accounts that are overdue for more
than 90 days. External agencies for collections are
governed by standardized process guidelines.
A fraud prevention and control department has been set up to
manage levels of fraud, primarily through fraud prevention in
the form of forensic audits and also through recovery of fraud
losses. The fraud control department is aided by specialized
agencies involved in verification of income documents. The fraud
control department also evaluates the various external agencies
involved in the retail finance operations, including direct
marketing associates, external verification associates and
collection agencies.

|
Small Enterprises Loan Procedures |
The Small Enterprises Group finances dealers and vendors of
companies by implementing structures to enhance the base credit
quality of the vendor/ dealer, that involve an analysis of the
base credit quality of the vendor/ dealer pool and an analysis
of the linkages that exist between the vendor/ dealer and the
company.
The group is also involved in financing based on a
cluster-based approach,
that is, financing of small enterprises that have a homogeneous
profile such as apparel manufacturers and manufacturers of
pharmaceuticals. The risk assessment of such a cluster involves
identification of appropriate credit norms for target market,
use of scoring models for enterprises that satisfy these norms
and a comprehensive appraisal of those enterprises which are
awarded a minimum required score in the scoring model. The risk
management policy herein also involves setting up of portfolio
control norms as well as stringent review and exit triggers to
be followed while financing such clusters or communities.
|
|
|
Rural and Agricultural Loan Procedures |
The rural and agricultural loan portfolio comprises corporates
in the rural sector, small and medium enterprises, dealers and
vendors linked to these entities and farmers. ICICI Bank seeks
to design appropriate risk assessment methodologies for each of
the segments. For corporates, borrower risk is evaluated by
analyzing the industry risk, the borrowers market
position, financial performance, cash flow adequacy and the
quality of management. The credit risk of dealers, vendors and
farmers is evaluated by analyzing the base credit quality of the
borrowers or the pool and also the linkages between the
borrowers and the companies to which the dealers, vendors or
farmers are supplying their produce. ICICI Bank attempts to
enhance the credit quality of the pool of dealers, vendors and
farmers by strengthening the structure of the transaction.
For some segments, ICICI Bank uses a cluster-based approach
wherein a lending program is implemented for a homogeneous group
of individuals or business entities that comply with certain
laid down parameterized norms. To be eligible for funding under
the programs, the borrowers need to meet the stipulated credit
norms and obtain a minimum score on the scoring model. ICICI
Bank has incorporated control norms, borrower approval norms and
review triggers in all the programs. ICICI Bank has recently
undertaken a comprehensive review of its credit disbursal,
monitoring and collection processes and is seeking to institute
appropriate process changes.
ICICI Banks rural initiative may create additional
challenges with respect to managing the risk of frauds due to
the increased geographical dispersion and use of intermediaries.
For example, during fiscal 2007, ICICI Bank made a provision of
Rs. 0.93 billion (US$22 million) for losses from
frauds pertaining to the warehouse
receipt-based financing
product for agricultural credit. In this product, financing is
provided to farmers and traders on the basis of receipts for
stored goods issued by warehouse owners/ managers. ICICI Bank
appoints third party management and collection agents to market
the product. It appoints collateral management agencies to
monitor the goods in the warehouses. During the course of
review, irregularities were observed including absence of the
required quantities of commodities in warehouses. This was due
to specific fraudulent collusion between certain third party
management and collection agents and collateral management
agency staff. ICICI Bank has undertaken a comprehensive review
of the product and has set up dedicated groups for pre- and
post-disbursement
commodity audits. See Risk Factors Risks
Relating to Our Business Our rapid retail expansion
in India and our rural initiative expose us to increased risks
that may adversely affect our business.

Credit Approval Authorities |
ICICI Banks credit approval authorisation framework is
laid down by our board of directors. ICICI Bank has established
several levels of credit approval authorities for our corporate
banking activities the Credit Committee of the board
of directors, the Committee of Directors, the Committee of
Executives (Credit) and the Regional Committee (Credit). Retail
Credit Forums, Small Enterprise Group Forums and Agri Credit
Forums have been created for approval of retail loans and credit
facilities to small enterprises and agri based enterprises
respectively.
ICICI Banks board of directors have delegated the
authority to the Credit Committee, consisting of a majority of
independent directors, the Committee of Directors, consisting of
our wholetime directors, to the Committee of Executives
(Credit), to the Regional Committee (Credit), Retail Credit
Forums, Small Enterprise Group Forums and Agri Credit Forums,
all consisting of our designated executives, and to individual
executives in the case of program/ policy based products, to
approve financial assistance within certain individual and group
exposure limits set by the board of directors.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk |
Market risk is the possibility of loss arising from changes in
the value of a financial instrument as a result of changes in
market variables such as interest rates, exchange rates and
other asset prices. The prime source of market risk for us is
the interest rate risk we are exposed to as a financial
intermediary. In addition to interest rate risk, we are exposed
to other elements of market risk such as liquidity or funding
risk, price risk on trading portfolios, and exchange rate risk
on foreign currency positions.
|
|
|
Market Risk Management Procedures |
Our board of directors reviews and approves the policies for the
management of market risk. The board has delegated the
responsibility for market risk management on the banking book to
the Asset Liability Management Committee and for the trading
book to the Committee of Directors, within the broad parameters
laid down by policies approved by the board. The Asset Liability
Management Committee is responsible for managing interest rate
risk on the banking book and liquidity risks reflected in the
balance sheet. The Committee of Directors is responsible for
formulating policies and risk controls for the trading book.
The Asset Liability Management Committee comprises whole time
directors and senior executives. The committee generally meets
on a monthly basis and reviews the interest rate and liquidity
gap positions on the banking book, formulates a view on interest
rates, sets benchmark lending rates, reviews the business
profile and its impact on asset liability management and
determines the asset liability management strategy in light of
the current and expected business environment. The Structural
Rate Risk Management Group and Global Asset Liability Management
Group are responsible for managing interest rate risk and
liquidity risk, under the supervision of the Asset Liability
Management Committee, on a day to day basis.
The Global Market and Operational Risk Management Group
recommends changes in risk policies and controls and the
processes and methodologies for quantifying and assessing market
risks. Risk limits including position limits and stop loss
limits for the trading book are monitored on a daily basis by
the Treasury Middle Office Group and reviewed periodically.
Since our balance sheet consists predominantly of rupee assets
and liabilities, movements in domestic interest rates constitute
the main source of interest rate risk. Exposure to fluctuations
in interest rates is measured primarily by way of gap analysis,
providing a static view of the maturity and
re-pricing
characteristics of balance sheet positions. An interest rate gap
report is prepared by classifying all assets and liabilities
into various time period categories according to contracted
maturities or anticipated
re-pricing date. The
difference in the amount of assets and liabilities maturing or
being re-priced in any
time period category, would then give an indication of the
extent of exposure to the risk of potential changes in the
margins on new or
re-priced assets and
liabilities. ICICI Bank prepares interest rate risk reports on a
fortnightly basis.
S-104
These reports are submitted to the Reserve Bank of India on a
monthly basis. Interest rate risk is further monitored through
interest rate risk limits approved by the Asset Liability
Management Committee.
Our core business is deposit taking and lending in both rupees
and foreign currencies, as permitted by the Reserve Bank of
India. These activities expose us to interest rate risk. As the
rupee market is significantly different from the international
currency markets, gap positions in these markets differ
significantly.
Our primary source of funding is deposits and, to a smaller
extent, borrowings. In the rupee market, most of our deposit
taking is at fixed rates of interest for fixed periods, except
for savings deposits and current deposits, which do not have any
specified maturity and can be withdrawn on demand. We usually
borrow for a fixed period with a
one-time repayment on
maturity, with some borrowings having European call/ put
options, exercisable only on specified dates, attached to them.
However, we have a mix of floating and fixed interest rate
assets. Our loans generally are repaid more gradually, with
principal repayments being made over the life of the loan. Our
housing loans at
year-end fiscal 2007
were primarily floating rate loans where any change in the
benchmark rate with reference to which these loans are priced,
is generally passed on to the borrower on the first day of the
succeeding quarter or succeeding month, as applicable. Until
December 31, 2003, we followed a
four-tier prime rate
structure, namely, a
short-term prime rate
for one-year loans or
loans that re-price at
the end of one year, a
medium-term prime rate
for one to three year loans, a
long-term prime rate
for loans with maturities greater than three years, and a prime
rate for cash credit products. Effective January 1, 2004,
we have moved to a single benchmark prime rate structure for all
loans other than specific categories of loans advised by the
Indian Banks Association (which include, among others,
loans to individuals for acquiring residential properties, loans
for purchase of consumer durables,
non-priority sector
personal loans and loans to individuals against shares,
debentures, bonds and other securities), with lending rates
comprising the benchmark prime rate, term premia and
transaction-specific credit and other charges. Interest rates on
loans outstanding at December 31, 2003 continue to be based
on the four-tier prime
rate structure. We generally seek to eliminate interest rate
risk on undisbursed commitments by fixing interest rates on
rupee loans at the time of loan disbursement.
In contrast to our rupee loans, a large proportion of our
foreign currency loans are floating rate loans. These loans are
generally funded with floating rate foreign currency funds. Our
fixed rate foreign currency loans are generally funded with
fixed rate foreign currency funds. We generally convert all our
foreign currency borrowings and deposits into floating rate
dollar liabilities through the use of interest rate and currency
swaps with leading international banks. The foreign currency
gaps are generally significantly lower than rupee gaps,
representing a considerably lower exposure to fluctuations in
foreign currency interest rates.
We use the duration of our government securities portfolio as a
key variable for interest rate risk management. We increase or
decrease the duration of government securities portfolio to
increase or decrease our interest rate risk exposure. In
addition, we also use interest rate derivatives to manage asset
and liability positions. We are an active participant in the
interest rate swap market and are one of the largest
counterparties in India.

Assets and liabilities are classified into the applicable
categories based on residual maturity or
re-pricing whichever is
earlier. Classification methodologies are generally based on
Asset Liability Management Guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank
of India, effective April 1, 2000, and pre-payment
assumptions applied, based on behavioural studies done. Items
that neither mature nor
re-price are included
in the greater than five years category. This
includes equity share capital and a substantial part of fixed
assets. Impaired loans of residual maturity less than three
years are classified in the greater than one year and up
to five years category and impaired loans of residual
maturity between three to five years are classified in the
greater than five years category. |

The categorization for these items is different from that
reported in the financial statements. |

Based on our asset and liability position at year-end fiscal
2007, the sensitivity model shows that net interest income from
the banking book for fiscal 2008 would rise by
Rs. 1.1 billion (US$26 million) if interest rates
increased by 100 basis points during fiscal 2008.
Conversely, the sensitivity model shows that if interest rates
decreased by 100 basis points during fiscal 2008, net
interest income for fiscal 2008 would fall by an equivalent
amount of Rs. 1.1 billion (US$26 million). Based
on our asset and liability position at year-end fiscal 2006, the
sensitivity model showed that net interest income from the
banking book for fiscal 2007 would have risen by
Rs. 2.0 billion (US$46 million) if interest rates
increased by 100 basis points during fiscal 2007.
Conversely, the sensitivity model showed that if interest rates
decreased by 100 basis points during fiscal 2007, net
interest income for fiscal 2007 would have fallen by an
equivalent amount of Rs. 2.0 billion
(US$46 million).
Sensitivity analysis, which is based upon static interest rate
risk profile of assets and liabilities, is used for risk
management purposes only and the model above assumes that during
the course of the year no other changes are made in the
respective portfolios. Actual changes in net interest income
will vary from the model.

At year-end fiscal 2007, the total value of our rupee fixed
income trading portfolio was Rs. 11.4 billion
(US$265 million). If interest rates increased by
100 basis points during fiscal 2008, the value of this
portfolio would fall by Rs. 290 million
(US$7 million). Conversely, if interest rates fell by
100 basis points during fiscal 2008, the value of this
portfolio would rise by Rs. 290 million
(US$7 million). At year-end fiscal 2006, the total value of
our rupee fixed income trading portfolio was
Rs. 22.7 billion (US$526 million). If interest
rates had increased by 100 basis points during fiscal 2007,
the value of this portfolio would have fallen by
Rs. 818 million (US$19 million). Conversely, if
interest rates had fallen by 100 basis points during fiscal
2007, the value of this portfolio would have risen by
Rs. 818 million (US$19 million).
At year-end fiscal 2007, the total outstanding notional
principal amount of our trading interest rate derivatives
portfolio was Rs. 3,436.9 billion
(US$79.7 billion) (Rs. 2,700.0 billion at
year-end fiscal 2006). The sensitivity model shows that if
interest rates increase by 100 basis points, the value of
this portfolio would rise by Rs. 1.4 billion
(US$32 million). At year-end fiscal 2007, the total
outstanding notional principal amount of our trading currency
derivatives (options and cross currency interest rate swaps)
portfolio was Rs. 732.1 billion (US$17.0 billion)
(Rs. 430.8 billion at year-end fiscal 2006). The
sensitivity model shows that if interest rates increase by
100 basis points, the value of this cross currency interest
rate swaps portfolio would fall by Rs. 349 million
(US$8 million).
S-107
We assume equity risk both as part of our investment book and
our trading book. Investments in equity shares and preference
shares are essentially long-term in nature. A part of our
investment in equity securities have been driven by our project
and corporate financing activities. The decision to invest in
equity shares during project financing activities has been a
conscious decision to participate in the equity of the company
with the intention of realizing capital gains arising from the
expected increases in market prices, and is separate from the
lending decision. For further information on our trading and
available for sale investments, see Overview
of ICICI Banks Products and Services
Investment Banking Treasury.
We also invest in the corpus of equity capital/venture funds,
primarily those managed by our subsidiary ICICI Venture
Funds Management Company Limited. These funds invest in
equity/equity linked instruments. Our investments through these
funds are thus similar in nature to other equity investments and
are subject to the same risks. In addition, they are also
subject to risks in the form of changes in regulation and
taxation policies applicable to such equity funds.
We offer foreign currency hedge instruments like swaps,
forwards, and currency options to clients. We actively use cross
currency swaps, forwards, and options to economically hedge
against exchange risks arising out of these transactions.
Trading activities in the foreign currency markets expose us to
exchange rate risks. This risk is mitigated by setting
counterparty limits, stipulating daily and cumulative stop-loss
limits, and engaging in exception reporting.
The Reserve Bank of India has authorized the dealing of foreign
currency-rupee options by banks for hedging foreign currency
exposures including hedging of balance sheet exposures. We have
been offering such products to corporate clients and other
inter-bank counterparties and are one of the largest
participants in the currency options market accounting for a
significant share of daily trading volume. All the options are
maintained within the specified limits.
In addition, foreign currency loans are made on terms that are
similar to foreign currency borrowings, thereby transferring the
foreign exchange risk to the borrower. In addition, there is an
open foreign exchange position limit to minimize exchange rate
risk.
Liquidity risk arises in the funding of lending, trading and
investment activities and in the management of trading
positions. It includes both the risk of unexpected increases in
the cost of funding an asset portfolio at appropriate maturities
and the risk of being unable to liquidate a position in a timely
manner at a reasonable price. The goal of liquidity management
is to be able, even under adverse conditions, to meet all
liability repayments on time and fund all investment
opportunities.
We maintain diverse sources of liquidity to facilitate
flexibility in meeting funding requirements. Incremental
operations are principally funded by accepting deposits from
retail and corporate depositors. The deposits are augmented by
borrowings in the short-term inter-bank market and through the
issuance of bonds. Loan maturities and sale of investments also
provide liquidity. Most of the funds raised are used to extend
loans or purchase securities. Generally, deposits have a shorter
average maturity than loans or investments.
Our subsidiary in the UK offers an internet based online savings
deposit product to depositors. The total amount of such deposits
as at year-end fiscal 2007 was Rs. 78.6 billion
(US$1.8 billion). These deposits are payable on demand. At
present, these deposits are classified as outflow in the less
than eight days liquidity bucket as required by the Financial
Services Authority of UK. ICICI Bank UK deploys these funds
in a portfolio of short-term deposits and marketable securities.
It therefore may face liquidity risk in case of high volumes of
deposit withdrawals, failure of a substantial number of
depositors to roll over deposited funds upon maturity or to
replace deposited funds with fresh deposits.
S-108
For further information on liquidity risk, see Operating
and Financial Review and Prospects Liquidity
Risk.
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate
or failed internal processes, people and systems or from
external events. Operational risk includes legal risk but
excludes strategic and reputational risks. Operational risk
includes all types of risk other than credit risk and market
risk. Our exposure to operational risk has increased following
our retail expansion, our international expansion, our growth in
treasury operations and our rural initiative. For a discussion
on our vulnerability to operational risk, see Risk
Factors Risks Relating to Our Business
There is operational risk associated with our industry which,
when realized, may have an adverse impact on our business.
The management of operational risk in the organization is
governed by the Operational Risk Management Policy approved by
the board of directors. The policy is applicable across the
organisation including overseas offices, ensuring that there is
clear accountability and responsibility for management and
mitigation of operational risk, developing a common
understanding of operational risk, helping the business and
operation groups units to improve internal controls, thereby
reducing the probability and potential impact of losses from
operational risks while meeting regulatory requirements.
Operational risk can result from a variety of factors, including
failure to obtain proper internal authorizations, improperly
documented transactions, failure of operational and information
security procedures, computer systems, software or equipment,
fraud, inadequate training and employee errors. We attempt to
mitigate operational risk by maintaining a comprehensive system
of internal controls, establishing systems and procedures to
monitor transactions, maintaining key back-up procedures and
undertaking regular contingency planning.
|
|
|
Operational Controls and Procedures in Branches |
We have operating manuals detailing the procedures for the
processing of various banking transactions and the operation of
the application software. Amendments to these manuals are
implemented through circulars sent to all offices.
We have a scheme of delegation of financial powers that sets out
the monetary limit for each employee with respect to the
processing of transactions in a customers account.
Withdrawals from customer accounts are controlled by dual
authorization. Senior officers have been delegated power to
authorize larger withdrawals. Our operating system validates the
check number and balance before permitting withdrawals. Cash
transactions over Rs. 1.0 million (US$23,202) are
subject to special scrutiny to avoid money laundering. Our
banking software has multiple security features to protect the
integrity of applications and data.
|
|
|
Operational Controls and Procedures for Internet Banking |
In order to open an internet banking account, the customer must
provide us with documentation to prove the customers
identity, such as a copy of the customers passport, a
photograph and specimen signature of the customer. After
verification of this documentation, we open the internet banking
account and issue the customer a user identification and
password to access his account online.
|
|
|
Operational Controls and Procedures in Regional Processing
Centers & Central Processing Centers |
To improve customer service at our physical locations, we handle
transaction processing centrally by taking away such operations
from branches. We have centralized operations at regional
processing centers located at 15 cities in the country.
These regional processing centers process clearing checks and
inter-branch transactions, make inter-city check collections,
and engage in back-office activities for account opening,
standing instructions and auto-renewal of deposits.
In Mumbai, we have centralized transaction processing on a
nation-wide basis for transactions like the issue of ATM cards
and PIN mailers, reconciliation of ATM transactions, monitoring
of ATM functioning, issue of passwords to Internet banking
customers, depositing post-dated checks received from retail loan
S-109
customers and credit card transaction processing. Centralized
processing has been extended to the issuance of personalized
check books, back-office activities of non-resident Indian
accounts, opening of new bank accounts for customers who seek
web brokering services and recovery of service charges for
accounts for holding shares in book-entry form.
|
|
|
Operational Controls and Procedures in Treasury |
We use technology to monitor risk limits and exposures. Our
front office, back office and accounting and reconciliation
functions are fully segregated in both the domestic treasury and
foreign exchange treasury.
Our front office treasury operations for rupee transactions
consist of operations in fixed income securities, equity
securities and inter-bank money markets. Our dealers analyze the
market conditions and take views on price movements. Thereafter,
they strike deals in conformity with various limits relating to
counterparties, securities and brokers. The deals are then
forwarded to the back office for settlement.
Trade strategies are discussed frequently and decisions are
taken based on market forecasts, information and liquidity
considerations. Trading operations are conducted in conformity
with the code of conduct prescribed by internal and regulatory
guidelines.
The Treasury Middle Office Group uses various risk monitoring
tools such as counterparty limits, position limits, exposure
limits and individual dealer limits. Procedures for reporting
breaches in limits are also in place. The Treasury Middle Office
Group monitors counterparty limits, evaluates the
mark-to-market impact
on various positions taken by dealers and monitors market risk
exposure of the investment portfolio and adherence to various
market risk limits.
Our back office undertakes the settlement of funds and
securities. The back office has procedures and controls for
minimizing operational risks, including procedures with respect
to deal confirmations with counterparties, verifying the
authenticity of counterparty checks and securities, ensuring
receipt of contract notes from brokers, monitoring receipt of
interest and principal amounts on due dates, ensuring transfer
of title in the case of purchases of securities, reconciling
actual security holdings with the holdings pursuant to the
records and reports any irregularity or shortcoming observed.

Operational Controls and Procedures in Retail Asset
Operations |
A majority of ICICI Banks retail asset operations are
centralized at Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. The central operations
unit is located in Mumbai and the regional operations units at
Delhi and Chennai. These central and regional units support
operations relating to retail asset products across the country.
The central operations unit carries out accounting,
reconciliation and repayment management activities for all
retail asset products. The regional operations units manage
disbursement of approved credit facilities. There are no manual
issuances of disbursement cheques thus reducing any operational
risk on account of manual intervention in the processes. No
single team has the full authority to complete a transaction and
carry out financial reconciliation. Each activity is segregated
and carried out by an independent team.
All processes are hosted and controlled through a central
process site. At the design stage of the process, all
operational and other risks are identified, mitigants designed
and measures of performance specified to ensure adherence. The
retail asset operations group has regional audit managers across
the country. These audit managers monitor adherence to controls
and procedures and record and report deviations to facilitate
corrective action.
|
|
|
Operational Controls and Procedures for Corporate Banking |
Our operations in respect of corporate banking products and
services are centralized in Mumbai. These centralized operations
comprise separate operations teams for trade finance, cash
management and general banking operations. The centralized
operations teams process transactions after verification of
credit authorisations, as well as applicable regulations,
particularly in respect of international trade finance
transactions. This unit also processes transactions for small
enterprise customers.

|
Operational Controls and Procedures in Rural Operations |
A majority of ICICI Banks rural asset operations are
centralized at Mumbai where the central operations unit is
located. The central unit houses teams that support operations
relating to retail rural asset products across the country. The
central operations unit carries out accounting, reconciliation
and repayment management activities for all rural asset
products. The rural hubs manage disbursement of approved credit
facilities. There are no manual issuances of disbursement
cheques thus reducing any operational risk on account of manual
intervention in the processes. No single team has the full
authority to complete a transaction and carry out financial
reconciliation. Each activity is segregated and carried out by
an independent team. At the design stage of any product/process,
operations units play a vital role in ensuring that all
operational and other risks are identified and mitigants are
designed to ensure smooth operations of the product. The
operations group has roving audit managers who visit all hubs
across the country for surprise audits. These audit managers
monitor adherence to controls and procedures and record and
report deviations to facilitate corrective action.

Anti money Laundering Controls |
Our board of directors approved a group anti-money laundering
policy in January 2004, which established the standards of
anti-money laundering compliance. The group anti-money
laundering policy was revised in December 2004, April 2006 and
in April 2007 in view of the requirements of the Reserve Bank of
India guidelines, issued from time to time. The group anti-money
laundering policy is applicable to all our activities. The
unique anti-money laundering regulatory requirements for
overseas units are provided separately as an addendum to the
group anti-money laundering policy. Our anti-money laundering
standards are primarily based on two pillars, namely, know your
customer and monitoring/reporting of suspicious transactions.
The group anti-money laundering policy specifies a risk-based
approach in implementing the anti-money laundering framework.
The business units are required to undertake risk profiling of
various customer segments and products, and to classify them
into high, medium and low-risk categories. The anti-money
laundering framework seeks to institute a process of customer
identification and verification depending on the nature or
status of the customer and the type of transaction. In respect
of unusual or suspicious transactions or when the customer moves
from a low-risk to high-risk profile, appropriate enhanced
due-diligence measures are required to be adopted. The policy
also requires that reports of specified cash transactions and
suspicious transactions be submitted to the Financial
Intelligence Unit, India
(FIU-IND) constituted
under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and the rules
notified thereunder. The Audit Committee of our board of
directors supervises the implementation of the anti-money
laundering framework. A money laundering reporting officer has
been designated to monitor the
day-to-day
implementation of the anti-money laundering policy and
procedures. Our Committee of Directors has also approved a
customer acceptance policy, which forms an integral part of the
group anti money laundering policy. Further, appropriate know
your customer/transaction monitoring procedures for various
products and customer segments have also been laid down.
Suitable training programs on awareness of anti-money laundering
are organized for the employees on a periodic basis.

Global risk management framework |
We have adopted a global risk management framework for our
international banking operations, including overseas branches,
offshore banking units and subsidiaries. Under this framework,
our credit, investment, asset liability management and
anti-money laundering policies apply to all our overseas
branches and offshore banking units, with modifications to meet
local regulatory or business requirements. These modifications
may be made only with the approval of our board of directors.
All overseas banking subsidiaries are required to adopt risk
management policy frameworks to be approved by their board of
directors or an appropriate committee of their board of
directors, based on applicable laws and regulations as well as
our corporate governance and risk management framework. The
overseas banking subsidiaries are required to adopt a process
for formulation of policies which involves seeking the guidance
and recommendations of the related groups in ICICI Bank.
S-111
The Compliance Group plays an oversight role in respect of
regulatory compliance at the overseas branches and offshore
banking units. Key risk indicators pertaining to our
international banking operations are presented to the Risk
Committee of our board of directors on a quarterly basis.
The Internal Audit Group undertakes a comprehensive audit of all
business groups and other functions, in accordance with a
risk-based audit plan. This plan allocates audit resources based
on an assessment of the operational risks in the various
businesses. The audit plan for every fiscal year is approved by
the Audit Committee of our board of directors.
The Internal Audit Group also has a dedicated team responsible
for information technology security audits. The annual audit
plan covers various components of information technology
including applications, databases, networks and operating
systems.
The Reserve Bank of India requires banks to have a process of
concurrent audits at branches handling large volumes, to cover a
minimum of 50.0% of business volumes. We have a process of
concurrent audits, using external accounting firms. Concurrent
audits are also carried out at centralized and regional
processing centers operations to ensure existence of and
adherence to internal controls.
The Internal Audit Group has formed a separate International
Banking Audit Group for audit of international branches,
representative offices and subsidiaries.

Legal and Regulatory Risk |
We are involved in various litigations and are subject to a wide
variety of banking and financial services laws and regulations
in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are also
subject to a large number of regulatory and enforcement
authorities in each of these jurisdictions. The uncertainty of
the enforceability of the obligations of our customers and
counter-parties, including the foreclosure on collateral,
creates legal risk. Changes in laws and regulations could
adversely affect us. Legal risk is higher in new areas of
business where the law is often untested by the courts. We seek
to minimise legal risk by using stringent legal documentation,
employing procedures designed to ensure that transactions are
properly authorised and consulting internal and external legal
advisors. See Business Legal and Regulatory
Proceedings, Risk Factors Risks Relating
to Our Business We are subject to legal and
regulatory risk which may adversely affect our business and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs., We
have experienced rapid international growth in the last three
years which has increased the complexity of the risks that we
face, We are subject to legal and
regulatory risk which may adversely affect our business and the
price of our equity shares and ADSs. and
Regulatory changes in India or other
jurisdictions in which we operate could adversely affect our
business.

|
|
Derivative Instruments Risk |
We enter into interest rate and currency derivative transactions
primarily for the purpose of hedging interest rate and foreign
exchange mismatches and also engage in trading of derivative
instruments on our own account. We provide derivative services
to selected major corporate customers and other domestic and
international financial institutions, including foreign currency
forward transactions and foreign currency and interest rate
swaps. We also invest in credit derivatives through our overseas
branches and banking subsidiaries. Our derivative transactions
are subject to counterparty risk to the extent particular
obligors are unable to make payment on contracts when due.

Risk management in key subsidiaries |
ICICI Securities Primary Dealership is a primary dealer and
has government of India securities as a significant proportion
of its portfolio. The Corporate Risk Management Group at
ICICI Securities Primary Dealership develops the risk
management policies for the organization. The main objective of
the group is to ensure adherence to risk management practices to
mitigate the risks, primarily credit and market risks,
S-112
involved in the various businesses of the company. The group
continuously develops and enhances its risk management and
control procedures. Further, the Risk Management Committee is
responsible for analyzing and monitoring the risks associated
with the different business activities of ICICI Securities
Primary Dealership and ensuring adherence to the risk and
investment limits approved by the board of directors.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance is exposed to business
risks arising out of the nature of products and underwriting,
and market risk arising out of the investments made out of the
corpus of premiums collected and the returns guaranteed to
policyholders. The Risk Management and Audit Committee of its
board of directors is responsible for oversight of the risk
management and internal control functions. For managing
investment risk, the company has a prudent investment strategy
to optimize risk adjusted returns. Its asset-liability
management framework is designed to cushion and mitigate the
investment related risks of assets. The assets under management
for the linked portfolio, in respect of which there is minimal
asset-liability mismatch risk, amounts to over 85% of the
policyholders funds. As part of asset-liability management
for the non-linked portfolio, ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance has hedged the single premium non-participating
portfolio by duration matching, re-balanced monthly. On the
participating portfolio, the asset allocation strategy, which
includes investments in equities, is designed to achieve the
twin objectives of managing base guarantees and maximizing
returns. The equity portfolio is benchmarked against a market
index. In addition, there are exposure limits to companies,
groups and industries. For mitigating operational risks, the
management assesses and rates the various operational risks and
prepares a mitigation plan. The internal audit department
performs risk-based audit and reports the findings to the Audit
Committee.
ICICI Lombard General Insurance is principally exposed to
risks arising out of the nature of business underwritten and
credit risk on its investment portfolio. In respect of business
risk, ICICI Lombard General Insurance seeks to diversify
its insurance portfolio across industry sectors and geographical
regions. It focuses on corporate product segments that have
historically experienced low loss ratios and retail product
segments where risks are widely distributed. It also has the
ability to reduce the risk retained on its own balance sheet by
re-insuring a part of the risks underwritten. Its investments
are governed by the investment policy approved by its board of
directors within the norms stipulated by the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority. The Investment Committee
oversees the implementation of this policy and reviews it
periodically. Exposure to any single entity is normally
restricted to 5.0% of the portfolio and to any industry to 10.0%
of the portfolio. Investments in debt instruments are generally
restricted to instruments with a domestic credit rating of AA or
higher.

At year-end fiscal 2007, we had no cross-border outstandings
(defined as loans in a non-local currency) over 1% of our assets
in any country except in the United Kingdom where we had a
significant amount of loans to UK borrowers denominated in
dollars.

Collateral Completion, Perfection and
Enforcement |
Our loan portfolio consists largely of loans to retail
customers, including home loans, automobile loans, two wheeler
loans, commercial business loans, personal loans and credit card
receivables, project and corporate finance and working capital
loans to corporate borrowers and agricultural financing. In
general, our loans (other than personal loans, credit card
receivables and some forms of corporate and agricultural
financing, which are unsecured) are over-collateralized. In
India, there are no regulations stipulating
loan-to-collateral
limits.
There can be delays in completion of security interests by our
borrowers or security providers, and we regularly review the
status of security to be created, and have follow up mechanisms
for ensuring due completion of security. The delays could be due
to time taken for acquisition of the asset on which security
interest is to be created (or formalities related thereto),
obtaining of requisite consents including legal, statutory or
contractual obligations to obtain such consents, obtaining of
legal opinions as to title, availability
S-114
of requisite consents and ability of the borrower or security
providers to create valid, legal and enforceable security
interests in the relevant jurisdictions and negotiation of terms
for security interests.
Corporate finance and project finance loans are typically
secured by a first lien on fixed assets, which normally consists
of property, plant and equipment. These security interests are
perfected by the registration of these interests within time
limits stipulated under the Companies Act with the Registrar of
Companies pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act when
our clients are constituted as companies. Perfection of security
interests in immovable property requires a no-objection
certificate from the income tax authorities. This registration
amounts to a constructive public notice to other business
entities of security interests created by such companies. We may
also take security of a pledge of financial assets like
marketable securities (for which perfection of security
interests by registration with the Registrar of Companies is not
mandatory for companies under the Companies Act), and obtain
corporate guarantees and personal guarantees wherever
appropriate.
Working capital loans are typically secured by a first lien on
current assets, which normally consist of inventory and
receivables. Additionally, in some cases, we may take further
security of a first or second lien on fixed assets, a pledge of
financial assets like marketable securities, or obtain corporate
guarantees and personal guarantees wherever appropriate.
A substantial portion of our loans to retail customers (other
than personal loans and credit card receivables, which are
unsecured) is also secured by a first and exclusive lien on the
assets financed (predominantly property and vehicles).
We are entitled in terms of our security documents to repossess
security comprising assets such as plant, equipment and vehicles
without reference to the courts or tribunals unless a client
makes a reference to such courts or tribunals to stay our
actions.
Separately, in India, foreclosure on collateral of property
generally requires a written petition to an Indian court or
tribunal based on amounts sought to be recovered. An
application, when made, may be subject to delays and
administrative requirements that may result, or be accompanied
by, a decrease in the value of the collateral. These delays can
last for several years leading to deterioration in the physical
condition and market value of the collateral. In the event a
corporate borrower makes an application for relief to a
specialized authority called the Board for Industrial and
Financial Reconstruction, foreclosure and enforceability of
collateral is stayed. In fiscal 2003, the Indian Parliament
passed the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets
and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002, as amended,
which strengthened the ability of lenders to resolve
non-performing assets by granting them greater rights as to
enforcement of security including over immovable property and
recovery of dues, without reference to the courts or tribunals
including the abatement of references to the Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction. See Overview of
the Indian Financial Sector Recent Structural
Reforms Legislative Framework for Recovery of Debts
due to Banks in our annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus.
In case of consumer instalment loans, we obtain direct debit
mandates or post-dated checks towards repayment on pre-specified
dates. Post dated checks, if dishonored entitle us on occurrence
of certain events to initiate criminal proceedings against the
issuer of the checks.
We recognize that our ability to realize the full value of the
collateral in respect of current assets is difficult, due to,
among other things, delays on our part in taking immediate
action, delays in bankruptcy foreclosure proceedings, defects in
the perfection of collateral (including due to inability to
obtain approvals that may be required from various persons,
agencies or authorities) and fraudulent transfers by borrowers
and other factors, including current legislative provisions or
changes thereto and past or future judicial pronouncements.
However, cash credit facilities are so structured that we are
able to capture the cash flows of our customers for recovery of
past due amounts. In addition, we generally have a right of
set-off for amounts due to us on these facilities. Also, we
regularly monitor the cash flows of our working capital loan
customers
S-115
so that we can take any actions required before the loan becomes
impaired. On a case-by-case basis, we may also stop or limit the
borrower from drawing further credit from its facility.
We follow a policy of portfolio diversification and evaluate our
total financing exposure in a particular industry in light of
our forecasts of growth and profitability for that industry.
ICICI Banks Global Credit Risk Management Group
monitors all major sectors of the economy and specifically
follows industries in which ICICI Bank has credit
exposures. We seek to respond to any economic weakness in an
industrial segment by restricting new credits to that industry
segment and any growth in an industrial segment by increasing
new credits to that industry segment, resulting in active
portfolio management. ICICI Banks policy is to limit
its loan portfolio to any particular industry (other than retail
loans) to 15.0% of total exposure. We identified retail finance
as an area with potential for growth and sought to increase our
financing to retail finance. We believe that retail finance
offers significant risk diversification benefits as the credit
risk is spread over a large number of relatively small
individual loans. The growth of our retail finance portfolio has
been the principal driver of our portfolio diversification
strategy. Our loans and advances to retail finance constituted
63.8% of our gross loans and advances at year-end fiscal 2007
compared to 62.2% at year-end fiscal 2006 and 60.8% at year-end
fiscal 2005.
Pursuant to the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India, our
credit exposure to individual borrowers must not exceed 15.0% of
our capital funds, comprising Tier 1 and Tier 2
capital calculated pursuant to the guidelines of the Reserve
Bank of India, under Indian GAAP. Credit exposure to individual
borrowers may exceed the exposure norm of 15.0% of our capital
funds by an additional 5.0% (i.e. up to 20.0%) provided the
additional credit exposure is on account of infrastructure
financing. Our exposure to a group of companies under the same
management control must not exceed 40.0% of our capital funds
unless the exposure is in respect of an infrastructure project.
The exposure to a group of companies under the same management
control, including exposure to infrastructure projects, may be
up to 50.0% of our capital funds. With effect from June 1,
2004, banks may, in exceptional circumstances, with the approval
of their boards, enhance the exposure by 5.0% of capital funds
(i.e., 20.0% of capital funds for an individual borrower and
45.0% of capital funds for a group of companies under same
management), making appropriate disclosures in their annual
reports. Exposure for funded facilities is calculated as the
total committed credit and investment sanctions or the
outstanding funded amount, whichever is higher (for term loans,
as undisbursed commitments plus the outstanding amount).
Exposure for non-funded facilities is calculated as 100.0% of
the committed amount or the outstanding non-funded amount
whichever is higher. At year-end fiscal 2007, we were in
compliance with these guidelines.
At year-end fiscal 2007, our largest non-bank borrower accounted
for approximately 12.4% of our capital funds. The largest group
of companies under the same management control accounted for
approximately 29.9% of our capital funds.

Our gross loan portfolio at year-end fiscal 2007 increased by
35.5% compared to the gross loan portfolio at year-end fiscal
2006. The largest increase was in retail finance, which was
63.8% of gross loans at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to 62.2%
at year-end fiscal 2006 and 60.8% at year-end fiscal 2005. Our
gross loans to the services finance sector as a
percentage of gross loans increased to 5.2% at year-end fiscal
2007 compared to 4.7% at year-end fiscal 2006. Our gross loans
to the iron and steel sector as a percentage of gross loans
decreased to 2.5% at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to 3.3% at
year-end fiscal 2006.
At year-end fiscal 2007, our 20 largest borrowers accounted for
approximately 9.3% of our gross loan portfolio, with the largest
borrower accounting for approximately 1.3% of our gross loan
portfolio. The largest group of companies under the same
management control accounted for approximately 2.4% of our gross
loan portfolio.
Our portfolios are geographically diversified throughout India.
The state of Maharashtra accounted for the largest proportion of
our gross loans outstanding at year-end fiscal 2007.
The Reserve Bank of India requires banks to lend to certain
sectors of the economy. Such directed lending comprises priority
sector lending, export credit and housing finance.
S-117
Till fiscal 2007, the Reserve Bank of India guidelines required
banks to lend 40.0% of their net bank credit (total domestic
loans less marketable debt instruments and certain exemptions
permitted by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time) as of
the last reporting Friday of a fiscal year to certain specified
sectors called priority sectors. Priority sectors included
small-scale industries, the agricultural sector, food and
agri-based industries, small businesses and housing finance up
to certain limits. Out of the 40.0%, banks were required to lend
a minimum of 18.0% of their net bank credit to the agriculture
sector and the balance to certain specified sectors, including
small scale industries (defined as manufacturing, processing and
services businesses with a certain limit on investment in plant
and machinery), small businesses, including retail merchants,
professional and other self employed persons and road and water
transport operators, housing loans up to certain limits and to
specified state financial corporations and state industrial
development corporations. In its letter dated April 26,
2002 granting its approval for the amalgamation, the Reserve
Bank of India stipulated that since ICICIs loans
transferred to ICICI Bank were not subject to the priority
sector lending requirement, ICICI Bank is required to maintain
priority sector lending of 50.0% of its net bank credit on the
residual portion of its advances (i.e. the portion of our total
advances excluding advances of ICICI at year-end fiscal, 2002,
henceforth referred to as residual net bank credit). This
additional 10.0% priority sector lending requirement will apply
until such time as ICICI Banks aggregate priority sector
advances reach a level of 40.0% of its total net bank credit.
The Reserve Bank of Indias existing instructions on
sub-targets under priority sector lending and eligibility of
certain types of investments/funds for qualification as priority
sector advances apply to ICICI Bank.
We report our priority sector loans to the Reserve Bank of India
on a quarterly basis. The loans reported are as on the last
reporting Friday of the quarter. At March 30,
2007, which was the last reporting Friday for fiscal 2007, ICICI
Banks priority sector loans were
Rs. 574.6 billion (US$13.3 billion), constituting
45.9% of its residual net bank credit against the requirement of
50.0%.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, ICICI
Banks priority sector loans, classified by the type of
borrower, as at the last reporting Friday of fiscal 2007.

The Reserve Bank India has issued revised guidelines applicable
from fiscal 2008 on lending to priority sectors. The guidelines
have linked the priority sector lending targets to adjusted net
bank credit (net bank credit plus investments made by banks in
non-statutory liquidity bonds included in the held to maturity
category and excluding recapitalisation bonds issued by the
government) or credit equivalent amount of off-balance sheet
exposure, whichever is higher. Under the revised guidelines the
limit for housing loans eligible for priority sector lending has
been increased from Rs. 1.5 million (US$34,803) to
Rs. 2.0 million (US$46,404) per borrower. The
guidelines have capped eligible direct agriculture finance to
non-individuals (i.e. partnership firms, corporates and
institutions) at Rs. 10.0 million
(US$232,019 million) per borrower.
S-118
One-third of loans in excess of Rs. 10.0 million
(US$232,019 million) per borrower would also be considered
as direct finance while the remaining two-thirds would
constitute indirect finance.
In addition fresh investments made by banks with National Bank
of Agriculture and Rural Development in lieu of non achievement
of priority sector lending targets will no longer be considered
as indirect finance subsequent to end fiscal 2007. However, the
existing investments in such bonds would continue to be
classified as indirect agriculture finance till 2010.
ICICI Bank is required to comply with the priority sector
lending requirements as on the last reporting Friday of March of
each fiscal year. Any shortfall in the amount required to be
lent to the priority sectors may be required to be deposited
with government sponsored Indian development banks like the
National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development and the
Small Industries Development Bank of India. These deposits have
a maturity of up to seven years and carry interest rates lower
than market rates. See Supervision and
Regulation Directed Lending Priority
Sector Lending in our annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus.
As part of directed lending, the Reserve Bank of India also
requires banks to make loans to exporters at concessional rates
of interest. Export credit is provided for pre-shipment and
post-shipment requirements of exporter borrowers in rupees and
foreign currencies. At the end of the any fiscal year, 12.0% of
a banks net bank credit is required to be in the form of
export credit. This requirement is in addition to the priority
sector lending requirement but credits extended to exporters
that are small scale industries or small businesses may also
meet part of the priority sector lending requirement. The
Reserve Bank of India provides export refinancing for an
eligible portion of total outstanding export loans at the bank
rate prevailing in India from time to time. The interest income
earned on export credits is supplemented through fees and
commissions earned from these exporter customers from other
fee-based products and services taken by them from us, such as
foreign exchange products and bill handling. At March 30,
2007 (last reporting Friday for fiscal 2007), our export credit
was Rs. 10.2 billion (US$237 million),
constituting 0.8% of our residual net bank credit.
The Reserve Bank of India requires banks to lend up to 3.0% of
their incremental deposits in the previous fiscal year for
housing finance. This can be in the form of home loans to
individuals or investments in the debentures and bonds of the
National Housing Bank and housing development institutions
recognized by the government of India. At March 30, 2007
(last reporting Friday for March 2007), ICICI Banks
housing finance loans qualifying as priority sector loans were
Rs. 286.9 billion (US$6.7 billion) and was well
above the minimum requirement prescribed by the Reserve Bank of
India.
As required by the Reserve Bank of India guidelines and the
advice issued by the Indian Banks Association effective
January 1, 2004, we price our loans (other than fixed rate
loans and certain categories of loans to individuals and
agencies specified by the Indian Banks Association,
including among others, loans to individuals for acquiring
residential properties, loans for purchase of consumer durables,
non-priority sector personal loans and loans to individuals
against shares, debentures, bonds and other securities) with
reference to a benchmark prime lending rate, called the ICICI
Bank Benchmark Advance Rate. The Asset Liability Management
Committee of our board of directors fixes the ICICI Benchmark
Advance Rate based on cost of funds, cost of operations and
credit charge as well as yield curve factors, such as interest
rate and inflation expectations, as well as market demand for
loans of a certain term. The ICICI Benchmark Advance Rate is
15.75% per annum payable monthly, effective April 1,
2007. The lending rates comprise ICICI Benchmark Advance Rate,
term premium and transaction-specific credit and other charges.
S-119
Classification of Loans
We classify our assets as performing and non-performing in
accordance with the Reserve Bank of Indias guidelines
except in the case of ICICI Home Finance Company and our banking
subsidiaries in Canada, Russia and the United Kingdom. ICICI
Home Finance Company classifies loans and other credit
facilities as per the National Housing Bank guidelines. Loans of
our Canadian, Russian and UK subsidiaries are classified as
impaired when there is no longer a reasonable assurance of the
timely collection of the full amount of principal or interest.
Under the Reserve Bank of India guidelines, an asset is
classified as non-performing if any amount of interest or
principal remains overdue for more than 90 days
(180 days until fiscal 2003), in respect of term loans. In
respect of overdraft or cash credit, an asset is classified as
non-performing if the account remains out of order for a period
of 90 days (180 days until fiscal 2003) and in respect
of bills, if the account remains overdue for more than
90 days (180 days until fiscal 2003). Further,
non-performing assets are classified into sub-standard, doubtful
and loss assets based on the criteria stipulated by the Reserve
Bank of India. The Reserve Bank of India has separate guidelines
for restructured loans. See below Restructured
Loans.
The classification of assets as per the Reserve Bank of India
guidelines is detailed below.
|
|
|
Standard assets:
|
|
Assets that do not disclose any problems or which do not carry
more than normal risk attached to the business are classified as
standard assets. |
Sub-standard assets:
|
|
Sub-standard assets comprise assets that are non-performing for
a period not exceeding 12 months. (18 months until
fiscal 2003) |
Doubtful assets:
|
|
Doubtful assets comprise assets that are non-performing for more
than 12 months. (18 months until fiscal 2003) |
Loss assets:
|
|
Loss assets comprise assets (i) the losses on which are
identified or (ii) that are considered uncollectable. |
Our non-performing assets include loans and advances as well as
credit substitutes, which are funded credit exposures. In
compliance with regulations governing the presentation of
financial information by banks, we report only non-performing
loans and advances in our financial statements.
See also Supervision and Regulation Reserve
Bank of India Regulations Loan Loss Provisions and
Non-performing Assets Asset Classification in
our annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus.
The Reserve Bank of India has separate guidelines for
restructured loans. A fully secured standard loan can be
restructured by reschedulement of principal repayments and/or
the interest element, but must be separately disclosed as a
restructured loan in the year of restructuring. The amount of
sacrifice, if any, in the element of interest, measured in
present value terms, is either written off or provision is made
to the extent of the sacrifice involved. Similar guidelines
apply to sub-standard loans. The sub-standard accounts which
have been subjected to restructuring, whether in respect of
principal installment or interest amount are eligible to be
upgraded to the standard category only after the specified
period, i.e., a period of one year after the date when first
payment of interest or of principal, whichever is earlier, falls
due, subject to satisfactory performance during the period.
|
|
|
Provisioning and Write-Offs |
We make provisions and write-offs in accordance with the Reserve
Bank of Indias guidelines; see Supervision and
Regulation Reserve Bank of India
Regulations Loan Loss Provisions and
Non-Performing
Assets Provisioning and write-offs in our
annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is
S-120
incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus. The
Reserve Bank of India guidelines on provisioning and write-offs
are as described below.
|
|
|
|
Standard assets:
|
|
As per the Reserve Bank of India guidelines issued in September
2005, banks were required to make general provision at 0.40% on
standard loans (excluding loans to the agriculture sector and to
small and medium enterprises). As per the Reserve Bank of India
guidelines issued in May 2006, the general provisions for
personal loans, loans and advances qualifying as capital market
exposure, residential housing loans beyond
Rs. 2.0 million and commercial real estate loans was
increased to 1.00% from 0.40%.
In January 2007, the Reserve Bank of India increased the
provisioning requirement in respect of the loans to the real
estate sector (excluding residential housing loans), outstanding
credit card receivables, loans and advances qualifying as
capital market exposure, personal loans and exposures to
systemically important non-deposit taking non- banking finance
companies to 2.00%. |
Sub-standard assets:
|
|
A provision of 10% is required for all sub-standard assets. An
additional provision of 10% is required for accounts that are
ab initio unsecured. |
Doubtful assets:
|
|
A 100% provision/write-off is required in respect of the
unsecured portion of the doubtful asset. Until year-end fiscal
2004, a 20% to 50% provision was required for the secured
portion as follows: Up to one year: 20%
provision; One to three years: 30%
provision; and More than three years: 50%
provision.
Effective the quarter ended June 30, 2004, a 100% provision
is required for assets classified as doubtful for more than
three years on or after April 1, 2004. In respect of assets
classified as doubtful for more than three years at
March 31, 2004, 60% to 100% provision on such secured
portion was required as follows: By
March 31, 2005: 60% provision; By
March 31, 2006: 75% provision; and By
March 31, 2007: 100% provision. |
Loss assets:
|
|
The entire asset is required to be written off or provided for. |
Restructured loans:
|
|
A provision equal to the difference between the present values
of the future interest as per the original loan agreement and
the present values of future interest on the basis of
rescheduled terms at the time of restructuring, is required to
be made. |
Until fiscal 2004, ICICI Bank made provisions aggregating 50% of
the secured portion of corporate non-performing assets over a
three-year period instead of the five-and-a-half year period
prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India. Effective fiscal 2005,
ICICI Bank provides for corporate non-performing assets in line
with the revised Reserve Bank of India guidelines requiring 100%
provision over a five-year period. Loss assets and the unsecured
portion of doubtful assets are fully provided for or written
off. Additional provisions are made against specific
non-performing assets if considered necessary by the management.
For retail assets, subject to the minimum provisioning levels
prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India, we make provisions on
such homogenous loans at a portfolio level, based on days
past due, less floating provisions held. Non-performing
assets acquired from ICICI in the amalgamation were fair valued
and additional provisions were recorded to reflect the fair
valuation. We do not distinguish between provisions and
write-offs while assessing the adequacy of our loan loss
coverage, as both provisions and write-offs represent a
reduction of the principal amount of a non-performing asset. In
compliance with regulations governing the presentation of
financial information by banks, we report non-performing assets
net of cumulative write-offs in our financial statements.
S-121
For restructured loans, provisions are made in accordance with
the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India, which
require that the difference between the present values of the
future interest as per the original loan agreement and the
present values of future interest on the basis of rescheduled
terms be provided at the time of restructuring.
The following table sets forth, at the dates indicated, our
gross restructured rupee and foreign currency loan portfolio by
business category.

In 1991, India commenced a program of industrial liberalization
involving, among other things, the abolition of industrial
licensing, reduction in import tariff barriers and greater
access for foreign companies to the Indian markets. In the
period following the opening up of the economy, a number of
Indian companies commenced large projects in expectation of
growth in demand in India. These projects had in general
relatively high levels of debt relative to equity, given the
inadequate depth in the equity capital markets in India at that
time. During the 1990s, the Indian economy was impacted by
negative trends in the global marketplace, particularly in the
commodities markets, and recessionary conditions in various
economies, which had impaired the operating environment for the
industrial sector in India. The manufacturing sector was also
impacted by several other factors, including increased
competition arising from economic liberalisation in India and
volatility in industrial growth and commodity prices. This had
resulted in stress on the operating performance of Indian
companies and an increase in the level of non-performing assets
in the Indian financial system, including ICICI and us.
Certain Indian corporations have come to terms with this new
competitive reality through a process of restructuring and
repositioning, including rationalization of capital structures
and production capacities. The increase in commodity prices
since fiscal 2003 has had a favorable impact on the operations
of corporations in several sectors. To create an institutional
mechanism for the restructuring of corporate debt, the Reserve
Bank of India has devised a corporate debt restructuring system.
The objective of this framework is to ensure a timely and
transparent mechanism for the restructuring of corporate debts
of viable entities facing problems. The operation of this system
led to the approval of restructuring programs for a large number
of companies, which led to an increase in the level of
restructured loans in the Indian financial system, including us.
The restructured loans continue to be classified as such until
they complete one year of payment in accordance
S-122
with the restructured terms. Our net restructured standard loans
were Rs. 48.8 billion (US$1.1 billion) at
year-end fiscal 2007 compared to Rs. 53.2 billion
(US$1.2 billion) at year-end fiscal 2006.
The following table sets forth, at the dates indicated, gross
restructured loans by borrowers industry or economic
activity and as a percentage of total gross restructured loans.

fiscal 2006. At year-end fiscal 2007, the gross non-performing
assets (net of write-offs) were Rs. 42.6 billion
(US$987 million) compared to Rs. 23.1 billion
(US$536 million) at year-end fiscal 2006. Gross of
technical write-offs, the gross non-performing assets at
year-end fiscal 2007 were Rs. 48.9 billon
(US$1.1 billion) compared to Rs. 29.8 billion
(US$691 million) at year-end fiscal 2006. The coverage
ratio (i.e. total provisions and technical write-offs made
against non-performing assets as a percentage of gross
non-performing assets) at year-end fiscal 2007 was 58.4%
compared to 63.7% at year-end fiscal 2006.

Gross retail non-performing loans increased from
Rs. 14.4 billion (US$334 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006 to Rs. 31.3 billion (US$726 million)
at year-end fiscal 2007, primarily due to the growth of the
retail portfolio and an increase in the proportion of
non-collateralized loans and credit card receivables in the
retail portfolio. The net non-performing assets in the retail
portfolio at year-end fiscal 2007 were 1.2% of net retail
assets. Retail non-performing loans constituted 73.6% of total
non-performing assets at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to 62.5%
at year-end fiscal 2006, due to a reduction in non-performing
loans excluding retail loans, and an increase in retail
non-performing loans, particularly in the non-collateralized
portfolio, in line with the growth in the retail portfolio. At
year-end fiscal 2007, gross non-performing loans in the
non-collateralized retail portfolio (including overdraft
financing against automobiles) were about 8.8% of gross
non-collateralized retail loans and net non-performing loans in
the non-collateralized retail portfolio were about 3.9% of net
non-collateralized retail loans.
S-125
The ten largest net non-performing assets were approximately
8.0% of total net non-performing assets at year-end fiscal 2007.

Non-Performing Asset Strategy |
In respect of unviable non-performing assets, where companies
have lost financial viability, we adopt an aggressive approach
aimed at out-of-court
settlements, enforcing collateral and driving consolidation. Our
focus is on time value of recovery and a pragmatic approach
towards settlements. The strong collateral against our loan
assets is the critical factor towards the success of our
recovery efforts. In addition, we continually focus on proactive
management of accounts under supervision. Our strategy
constitutes a proactive approach towards identification, aimed
at early stage solutions to incipient problems.
The Securitisation Act has strengthened the ability of lenders
to resolve non-performing assets by granting them greater rights
as to enforcement of security and recovery of dues from
corporate borrowers. The Securitisation Act and guidelines
issued by the Reserve Bank of India have permitted the setting
up of asset reconstruction companies to acquire financial assets
by banks and financial institutions. The Reserve Bank of India
has issued guidelines to banks on the process to be followed for
sales of financial assets to asset reconstruction companies.
These guidelines provide that a bank may sell financial assets
to an asset reconstruction company provided the asset is a
non-performing asset. (See Supervision and
Regulation Reserve Bank of India
Regulations Regulations relating to Sale of Assets
to Asset Reconstruction Companies in our annual report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,
2007, as amended by
Form 20-F/A filed
on June 13, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus). We sold Rs. 8.2 billion
(US$190 million) of our net non-performing assets during
fiscal 2007 and Rs. 4.8 billion (US$111 million)
of our net non-performing assets during fiscal 2006 to Asset
Reconstruction Company (India) Limited, a reconstruction company
registered with the Reserve Bank of India.
We monitor migration of the credit ratings of our borrowers to
enable us to take proactive remedial measures to prevent loans
from becoming non-performing. We review the industry outlook and
analyse the impact of changes in the regulatory and fiscal
environment. Our periodic review system helps us to monitor the
health of accounts and to take prompt remedial measures.
A substantial portion of our loans to retail customers is also
secured by a first and exclusive lien on the assets financed
(predominantly property and vehicles). We are entitled in terms
of our security documents to repossess security comprising
assets such as plant, equipment and vehicles without reference
to the courts or tribunals unless a client makes a reference to
such courts or tribunals to stay our actions. In respect of our
retail loans, we adopt a standardised collection process to
ensure prompt action for
follow-up on overdues
and recovery of defaulted amounts.
Our loans have historically been sufficiently
over-collateralized so that once collateral is realized we
recover a substantial amount of our loan outstanding. However,
recoveries may be subject to delays of up to several years, due
to the long legal process in India. This leads to delay in
enforcement and realization of collateral. We maintain the
non-performing assets on our books for as long as the
enforcement process is ongoing. Accordingly, a non-performing
asset may continue for a long time in our portfolio until the
settlement of loan account or realization of collateral, which
may be longer than that for US banks under similar circumstances.

Provision for loan losses for consumer loans and credit cards
receivables in fiscal 2006 were net of write-back of provisions
Rs. 1.7 billion (US$39 million) which were in
excess of regulatory requirements. Provision for loan losses
increased in fiscal 2007 primarily due to a higher level of
specific provisioning on retail loans and
Rs. 1.1 billion (US$26 million) on account of
frauds in rural portfolio, primarily in respect of warehouse
receipt financing.
The increase in provisioning on retail loans primarily reflects
the growth in retail loans, seasoning of the retail loan
portfolio and the change in the portfolio mix towards
non-collateralized retail loan where credit losses are higher.

Technology
We continue to endeavor to be at the forefront of usage of
technology in the financial services sector. We strive to use
information technology as a strategic tool for its business
operations, to gain a competitive advantage and to improve its
overall productivity and efficiency. Our technology initiatives
are aimed at enhancing value, offering customers enhanced
convenience and improved service while optimizing costs. Our
focus on technology emphasizes:
|
|
|
|
|
Electronic and online channels to: |
|
|
|
|
|
offer easy access to our products and services; |
|
|
|
reduce distribution and transaction costs; |
|
|
|
reach new target customers; |
|
|
|
enhance existing customer relationships; and |
|
|
|
reduce time to market. |
|
|
|
|
|
Application of information systems to: |
|
|
|
|
|
manage our large scale of operations efficiently; |
|
|
|
effectively market to our target customers; |
S-129
|
|
|
|
|
monitor and control risks; |
|
|
|
identify, assess and capitalize on market opportunities; and |
|
|
|
assist in offering improved products to customers. |
We also seek to leverage our domestic technology capabilities in
its international operations.
We have dedicated technology groups for our products and
services for retail, corporate, international and rural
customers. The Technology Management Group coordinates our
enterprise-wide
technology initiatives. Our shared services technology group
provides the technology infrastructure platform across all
business technology groups to gain synergies in operation. The
business technology groups review the individual requirements of
the various business groups while the technology management
group aggregates the requirements of various business groups to
ensure enterprise-wide
consistency.
|
|
|
Banking Application Software |
We use banking applications like a core banking system, loan
management system and credit card management system that are
flexible and scaleable and allow us to serve our growing
customer base. A central
stand-in server
provides services all days of the week, throughout the year, to
delivery channels. The server stores the latest customer account
balances, which are continuously streamed from the
core-banking database.
We have a data center in Mumbai for centralized data base
management, data storage and retrieval.
|
|
|
Electronic and Online Channels |
We use a combination of physical and electronic delivery
channels to maximize customer choice and convenience, which has
helped the differentiation of our products in the marketplace.
Our branch banking software is flexible and scaleable and
integrates well with its electronic delivery channels. Our ATMs
are sourced from some of the worlds leading vendors. These
ATMs work with the branch banking software. At
year-end fiscal 2007,
we had 3,271 ATMs across India. We were one of the first
banks to offer online banking facilities to its customers. We
now offer a number of online banking services to our customers
for both corporate and retail products and services. Our call
centers employ approximately 4,464 workstations, across
locations, at Mumbai, Thane and Hyderabad, which are operational
round the clock. These telephone banking call centers use an
Interactive Voice Response System. The call centers are based on
the latest technology and provide an integrated customer
database that allows the call agents to get a complete overview
of the customers relationship with us. The database
enables customer segmentation and assists the call agent in
identifying
cross-selling
opportunities.
We offer mobile banking services in India in line with our
strategy to offer multi-channel access to its customers. This
service has now been extended to all mobile telephone service
providers across India and non-resident Indian customers in
certain other countries where we have a presence.
|
|
|
High-Speed Electronic Communications Infrastructure |
We have a nationwide data communications network linking all our
channels and offices. The network design is based on a mix of
dedicated leased lines and satellite links to provide for reach
and redundancy, which is imperative in a vast country like
India. The communications network is monitored 24 hours a
day using advanced network management software. We are moving
towards multi protocol label switching (MPLS) as an
alternative to lease lines, thus ensuring redundancy.
|
|
|
Operations relating to Commercial Banking for Corporate
Customers |
We have successfully centralized our corporate banking back
office operations and rolled out a business process management
solution to automate its activities in the areas of trade
services and general banking
S-130
operations. Through integration of the workflow system with the
imaging and document management system, we have achieved
substantial savings and practically eliminated the use of paper
for these processes.
We have centralized the systems of the treasuries of all our
international branches and subsidiaries. As a result, the
processing of transactions as well as the applications used for
deal entry are now centrally located and maintained out of India.
|
|
|
Customer Relationship Management |
We have implemented a customer relationship management solution
for automation of customer handling in all key retail products.
The solution helps in tracking and timely resolution of various
customer queries and issues. The solution has been deployed at
the telephone banking call centers as well as a large number of
branches.
|
|
|
Data Warehousing and Data Mining |
We have a data warehouse for customer data aggregation. This
data warehouse also provides a platform for data mining
initiatives. We have implemented an Enterprise Application
Integration initiative across our retail and corporate products
and services, to link various products, delivery and channel
systems. This initiative underpins our
multi-channel customer
service strategy and seeks to deliver customer related
information consistently across access points. It is also aimed
to provide us with the valuable information to compile a unified
customer view and creates various opportunities associated with
cross-selling other
financial products.
|
|
|
Data center and disaster recovery system |
While our primary data center is located in Mumbai, a separate
disaster recovery data center has been set up in another city
and is connected to the main data center in Mumbai. The disaster
recovery data center can host critical banking applications in
the event of a disaster at the primary site. ICICI Bank has
developed a business continuity plan, which would help
facilitate continuity of critical businesses in the event of a
disaster. These plans are tested periodically under live or
simulated scenarios. These plans have been prepared in line with
the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India and have been
approved by ICICI Banks board of directors.
Competition
We face competition in all our principal areas of business from
Indian and foreign commercial banks, housing finance companies,
mutual funds and investment banks. ICICI Bank is the largest
private sector bank in India and the second largest bank among
all banks in the country, in terms of total assets, with total
assets of Rs. 3,446.6 billion (US$80.0 billion)
at year-end fiscal
2007. We seek to gain competitive advantage over our competitors
by offering innovative products and services, use of technology,
building customer relationships and developing a team of highly
motivated and skilled employees. We evaluate our competitive
position separately in respect of our products and services for
retail and corporate customers.
|
|
|
Commercial banking products and services for retail
customers |
In the retail markets, competition is primarily from foreign and
Indian commercial banks and housing finance companies. Foreign
banks have product and delivery capabilities but are likely to
focus on limited customer segments and geographical locations
since they have a smaller branch network than Indian commercial
banks. Foreign banks in aggregate had only 247 branches in
India at the end of December 2006. Indian commercial banks have
wide distribution networks but relatively less strong technology
and marketing capabilities. We seek to compete in this market
through a full product portfolio, effective distribution
channels, which include agents, robust credit processes and
collection mechanisms, experienced professionals and superior
technology.
S-131
Commercial banks attract the majority of retail bank deposits,
historically the preferred retail savings product in India. We
have sought to capitalise on our corporate relationships to gain
individual customer accounts through payroll management products
and will continue to pursue a
multi-channel
distribution strategy utilising physical branches, ATMs,
telephone banking call centres and the Internet to reach
customers. Further, following a strategy focused on customer
profiles and product segmentation, we offer differentiated
liability products to customers of various ages and income
profiles. Mutual funds are another source of competition to us.
Mutual funds offer tax advantages and have the capacity to earn
competitive returns and hence present a competitive alternative
to bank deposits.
|
|
|
Commercial banking products and services for corporate
customers |
In products and services for corporate customers, we face strong
competition primarily from public sector banks, foreign banks
and other new private sector banks. Our principal competition in
working capital products and services comes from public sector
banks, which have built extensive branch networks that have
enabled them to raise
low-cost deposits and,
as a result, price their loans and
fee-based services very
competitively. Their wide geographical reach facilitates the
delivery of banking products to their corporate customers
located in most parts of the country. We have been able,
however, to compete effectively because of our efficient service
and prompt turnaround times that we believe are significantly
faster than public sector banks. We seek to compete with the
large branch networks of the public sector banks through our
multi-channel
distribution approach and
technology-driven
delivery capabilities.
Traditionally, foreign banks have been active in providing trade
finance, fee-based
services and other
short-term financing
products to top tier Indian corporations. We effectively compete
with foreign banks in
cross-border trade
finance as a result of our wider geographical reach relative to
foreign banks and our customised trade financing solutions. We
have established strong
fee-based cash
management services and compete with foreign banks due to our
technological edge and competitive pricing strategies. We
compete with foreign banks in our foreign currency lending and
syndication business. Foreign banks have an advantage due to
their larger balance sheets and global presence. We seek to
compete with them by leveraging our strong corporate
relationships and understanding of Indian credit.
Other new private sector banks also compete in the corporate
banking market on the basis of efficiency, service delivery and
technology. However, we believe our size, capital base, strong
corporate relationships, wider geographical reach and ability to
use technology to provide innovative, value-added products and
services provide us with a competitive edge.
In project finance, ICICIs primary competitors were
established long-term
lending institutions. In recent years, Indian and foreign
commercial banks have sought to expand their presence in this
market. We believe that we have a competitive advantage due to
our strong market reputation and expertise in risk evaluation
and mitigation. We believe that our
in-depth sector
specific knowledge and capabilities in understanding risks,
policy related issues as well as our advisory, structuring and
syndication has allowed us to gain credibility with project
sponsors, overseas lenders and policy makers.
|
|
|
Commercial banking products and services for international
customers |
Our international strategy focused on India-linked opportunities
in the initial stages. In our international operations, we face
competition from Indian public sector banks with overseas
operations, foreign banks with products and services targeted at
non-resident Indians
and Indian businesses and other service providers like
remittance services. We are seeking to position ourselves as an
Indian bank offering
globally-benchmarked
products and services with an extensive distribution network in
India to gain competitive advantage. We seek to leverage our
technology capabilities developed in our domestic businesses to
offer convenience and efficient services to our international
customers. We also seek to leverage our strong relationships
with Indian corporates in our international business.
S-132
|
|
|
Commercial banking products and services for corporate
customers |
In our commercial banking operations for agricultural and rural
customers, we face competition from public sector banks that
have large branch networks in rural India. Other private sector
banks and non-bank
finance companies also provide products and services in rural
India. We seek to compete in this business based on our
comprehensive product strategy and multiple channels.
|
|
|
Insurance and asset management |
Our insurance and asset management joint ventures face
competition from existing dominant public sector players as well
as new private sector players. We believe that the key
competitive strength of our insurance joint ventures is the
combination of our experience in the Indian financial services
industry with the global experience and skills of our joint
venture partners. We believe that ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance, ICICI Lombard General Insurance and ICICI Prudential
Asset Management have built strong product, distribution and
risk management capabilities, achieving market leadership
positions in their respective businesses. According to data
published by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
of India, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance had a retail market
share of 28% in new business written by private sector life
insurance companies during fiscal 2007. ICICI Lombard General
Insurance had a market share of 34% in gross written premium
among the private sector general insurance companies during
fiscal 2007. According to data published by the Association of
Mutual Funds in India, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company
was among the two largest private sector mutual funds at
year-end fiscal 2007
with a market share of 12%.
Employees
At year-end fiscal 2007, we had 61,697 employees, compared
to 41,871 employees at
year-end fiscal 2006
and 29,374 employees at
year-end fiscal 2005.
Of these, 33,321 employees at
year-end fiscal 2007
were employed by ICICI Bank, an increase from 25,384 at
year-end fiscal 2006
and 18,029 at year-end
fiscal 2005. Of our 61,697 employees at
year-end fiscal 2007,
34,505 were professionally qualified, holding degrees in
management, accountancy, engineering, law, computer science,
economics or banking. Management believes that it has good
relationships with its employees.
We dedicate a significant amount of senior management time to
ensure that employees remain highly motivated and perceive the
organization as a place where opportunities abound, innovation
is fuelled, teamwork is valued and success is rewarded. Employee
compensation is clearly tied to performance and we encourage the
involvement of our employees in our overall performance and
profitability through profit sharing incentive schemes based on
the financial results. A revised performance appraisal system
has been implemented to assist management in career development
and succession planning.
ICICI Bank has an employee stock option scheme to encourage and
retain high performing employees. Pursuant to the employee stock
option scheme as amended by the Scheme of Amalgamation and
further amended in September 2004, up to 5.0% of the aggregate
of our issued equity shares at the time of grant of the stock
options can be allocated under the employee stock option scheme.
The stock option entitles eligible employees to apply for equity
shares. The grant of stock options is approved by ICICI
Banks board of directors on the recommendations of the
Board Governance and Remuneration Committee. The eligibility of
each employee is determined based on an evaluation of the
employee including employees work performance, technical
knowledge and leadership qualities. See also
Management Compensation and Benefits to
Directors and Officers Employee Stock Option
Scheme.
ICICI Bank has training centers, where various training programs
designed to meet the changing skill requirements of its
employees are conducted. These training programs include
orientation sessions for new employees and management
development programs for
mid-level and senior
executives. The training centers regularly offer courses
conducted by faculty, both national and international, drawn
from industry, academia and ICICI Banks own organization.
Training programs are also conducted for developing functional
as well as managerial skills. Products and operations training
is also conducted through web-based training modules.

In addition to basic compensation, employees of ICICI Bank are
eligible to receive loans from ICICI Bank at subsidized rates
and to participate in its provident fund and other employee
benefit plans. The provident fund, to which both ICICI Bank and
its employees contribute a defined amount, is a savings scheme,
required by government regulation, under which ICICI Bank at
present is required to pay to employees a minimum annual return
as specified from time to time which is currently 8.5%. If such
return is not generated internally by the fund, ICICI Bank is
liable for the difference. ICICI Banks provident fund has
generated sufficient funds internally to meet the minimum annual
return requirement since inception of the funds. ICICI Bank has
also set up a superannuation fund to which it contributes
defined amounts. The employees have been given an option to opt
out of the superannuation fund and in such cases the defined
amounts are paid as part of monthly salary. In addition, ICICI
Bank contributes specified amounts to a gratuity fund set up
pursuant to Indian statutory requirements.
The following table sets forth, at the dates indicated, the
number of employees in ICICI Bank and its consolidated
subsidiaries and other consolidated entities.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings
We are involved in various litigations and are subject to a wide
variety of banking and financial services laws and regulations
in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are also
subject to a large number of regulatory and enforcement
authorities in each of these jurisdictions. We are involved in a
number of legal
S-134
proceedings and regulatory relationships in the ordinary course
of our business. However, excluding the legal proceedings
discussed below, we are not a party to any proceedings and no
proceedings are known by us to be contemplated by governmental
authorities or third parties, which, if adversely determined,
may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or
results of operations.
See also Risk Factors Risks Relating to Our
Business We are subject to legal and regulatory risk
which may adversely affect our business and the price of our
equity shares and ADSs, We have
experienced rapid international growth in the last three years
which has increased the complexity of the risks that we
face, There is operational risk
associated with our industry which, when realized, may have an
adverse impact on our business, We are
subject to legal and regulatory risk which may adversely affect
our business and the price of our equity shares and ADSs.
and Regulatory changes or enforcement
initiatives in India or other jurisdictions in which we operate
could aversely affect our business and the price of our equity
shares and ADSs.
At year-end fiscal 2007, we had been assessed an aggregate of
Rs. 39.6 billion (US$919 million) in excess of
the provision made in our accounts, in income tax, interest tax,
wealth tax and sales tax demands for past years by the
government of Indias tax authorities. We have appealed
each of these tax demands. The impact of enquiries initiated by
the tax authorities can not be quantified as we believe that the
proceedings so initiated are likely to be dropped by the tax
authorities. Based on consultation with counsel and favourable
decisions in our own or other cases as set out below, our
management believes that the tax authorities are not likely to
be able to substantiate their income tax, interest tax, wealth
tax and sales tax assessment and accordingly we have not
provided for these tax demands at year-end fiscal 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
We have received favorable decisions from the appellate
authorities with respect to Rs. 603 million
(US$14 million) of the assessment. The income tax
authorities have appealed these decisions to higher appellate
authorities and the same are pending adjudication. |
|
|
|
In our appeal of the assessment of sales tax aggregating to
Rs. 493 million (US$11 million), we are relying
on a favorable decision of the Supreme Court of India in respect
of a writ petition filed by us and facts of the case. |
|
|
|
In our appeal of the assessments of income tax, interest tax and
wealth tax aggregating to Rs. 38.4 billion
(US$891 million), we are relying on favorable precedents of
the appellate court and expert opinions. |
Of the Rs. 39.6 billion (US$919 million),
Rs. 10.1 billion (US$234 million) relates to the
disallowance of depreciation claim on leased assets. This is an
industry-wide issue involving multiple litigations across the
country. In respect of depreciation claimed by us for fiscal
1993 on two sale and lease back transactions, the Income Tax
Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai held in August 2003 that these
transactions were tax planning tools and no depreciation was
allowable. As the Income Tax Appellate Tribunals decision
is based on the facts of two specific transactions, we believe
that the Income Tax Appellate Tribunals decision will not
have an adverse tax impact on other sale and lease back
transactions entered into by us. The tax impact of this decision
is Rs. 189 million (US$4 million). After the
Tribunal decision, the Supreme Court has held in another matter
not involving us, that tax planning is valid if within the four
corners of the law. Following the decision of Supreme Court, two
High Courts have held that depreciation should be allowed to the
lessor on sale and lease back transactions. We have filed an
appeal before the High Court against the adverse Tribunal
judgment which has been admitted. Moreover, the lease agreements
provide for variation in the lease rental to offset any loss of
depreciation benefit to us. In a subsequent judgement in a
matter involving us, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai
has held that the lease transactions are genuine and the lessor
cannot be denied depreciation merely on suspicion or
conjunctures and has allowed depreciation on all finance leases
including sale and lease back transactions. Accordingly, we have
not provided for this tax demand but have disclosed it as a
contingent liability in the financial statements.
At year-end fiscal 2007, there were 22 litigations (each
involving a claim of Rs. 10 million (US$232,019) and
more) against ICICI Bank, in the aggregate amount of
approximately Rs. 93.9 billion (US$2.2 billion)
(to the extent quantifiable and including amounts claimed
jointly and severally from ICICI
S-135
Bank and other parties). At year-end fiscal 2007, three
litigations were pending against ICICI Banks directors in
an aggregate amount of approximately Rs. 56.3 billion
(US$1.3 billion) (to the extent quantifiable). There were
five litigations where amounts claimed from ICICI Bank are
Rs. 1.0 billion (US$23 million) or higher:

In 1999, ICICI filed a suit before the High Court of Judicature
at Bombay against Mardia Chemicals Limited for recovery of
amounts totaling Rs. 1.4 billion (US$33 million)
due from Mardia Chemicals. The suit was subsequently transferred
to the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Mumbai. In 2002, we issued a
notice to Mardia Chemicals Limited under the Securitisation and
Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security
Interest Ordinance, 2002 (subsequently passed as an Act by the
Indian parliament) demanding payment of the outstanding dues.
Subsequently, Mardia Chemicals filed a suit in the city civil
court at Ahmedabad against us and Mr. K.V. Kamath, Managing
Director & CEO for an amount of
Rs. 56.3 billion (US$1.3 billion) on the grounds
that Mardia Chemicals had allegedly suffered financial losses on
account of ICICIs failure to provide adequate financial
facilities, ICICIs recall of the advanced amount and
ICICIs filing of a recovery action against it. The City
Civil Court held that the suit should have been filed in the
pending proceedings before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Mumbai.
Mardia Chemicals filed an appeal before the High Court of
Gujarat, which dismissed the appeal and ordered that the claim
against us be filed before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Mumbai
and the claim against Mr. K.V. Kamath be continued before
the City Civil Court at Ahmedabad. We have challenged the
decision of the City Civil Court in not rejecting the plaint of
Mardia Chemicals Limited, but permitting it to be heard. |
|
|
|
In 2003, the promoters of Mardia Chemicals in their capacity as
guarantors of loans given by ICICI to Mardia Chemicals filed a
civil suit in the city civil court at Ahmedabad against ICICI
Bank for an amount of Rs. 20.8 billion
(US$483 million) on the grounds of loss of investment and
loss of profit on investment. Pleadings under the above
applications have concluded. The matter is posted for final
hearing. |
|
|
|
In 2002, we filed a suit before the Debt Recovery Tribunal,
Ahmedabad against Gujarat Telephone Cables Limited for recovery
of term loans, debentures and working capital finance provided
by ICICI Bank. We sold our exposure to Asset Reconstruction
Company (India) Limited in 2004. The borrower has filed a suit
in the Civil Court claiming damages of
Rs. 10.0 billion (US$232 million) jointly and
severally from State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, United
Western Bank, UTI Bank, Bank of India, Asset Reconstruction
Company (India) Limited and ICICI Bank. ICICI Bank has filed an
application for rejection of the plaint. The borrower has
obtained time to file a reply to ICICI Banks application. |

In 1998, Industrial Finance Corporation India, now known as IFCI
Limited along with ICICI and Life Insurance Corporation of India
filed a suit in the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Delhi against
Foremost Ceramics Limited and its guarantors for recovery of
amounts owed. In 2001, a guarantor for the loan filed a
counter-claim for an amount of Rs. 4.5 billion
(US$104 million) against all lenders who had extended
financial assistance to Foremost Ceramics Limited, on various
grounds including that timely disbursements were not effected.
Industrial Finance Corporation of India has filed its reply,
which has been adopted by Life Insurance Corporation of India
and ICICI Bank, denying these averments and stating that the
counter-claim does not deny the fact of the guarantee and that
the guarantor is merely trying to escape liability. The matter
is posted for further arguments on July 12, 2007. |

|
|
In 1999, ICICI filed a suit in the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Delhi
against Esslon Synthetics Limited and its Managing Director (in
his capacity as guarantor) for recovery of amounts totaling
Rs. 169 million (US$4 million) due from Esslon
Synthetics. In May 2001, the guarantor filed a counter-claim for
an amount of Rs. 1.0 billion (US$23 million)
against ICICI and other lenders who had extended financial
assistance to Esslon Synthetics on the grounds that he had been
coerced by officers of the lenders into signing an agreement
between LML Limited, Esslon Synthetics and the lenders on
account of which he suffered, among other things, loss of
business. Esslon Synthetics Limited has filed an application to
amend the counterclaim in January 2004. ICICI Bank has filed its
reply to the application for |
S-136
|
|
|
|
|
amendment. The application has been partly heard and is listed
for further arguments on July 12, 2007. |
Management believes, based on consultation with counsel, that
the legal proceedings instituted by each of Mardia Chemicals
Limited, Guarantors of Mardia Chemicals, Gujarat Telephone
Cables Limited, Foremost Ceramics Limited and Esslon Synthetics
Limited against us are frivolous and untenable and their
ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Based on a review of other litigations with the legal counsel,
management also believes that the outcome of such other matters
will also not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, results of operations and cashflows.
ICICI Bank had sanctioned an External Commercial Borrowing
(ECB) facility to a customer on February 5, 2004 from
our Singapore Branch. It was observed by the Reserve Bank of
India that since the customer was engaged in the retail sector,
the sanction of the ECB facility was not in compliance with the
guidelines of Reserve Bank of India dated January 31, 2004.
The Reserve Bank of India had observed that, as per these
guidelines, ECBs could be sanctioned only to those customers who
were engaged in the real sector comprising of the industrial and
especially the infrastructure sector in India. Accordingly, the
Reserve Bank of India issued a show cause notice on
June 22, 2006 to ICICI Bank for non-compliance with the
extant rules/regulations/directions under the Foreign Exchange
Management, Act 1999. ICICI Bank had submitted our detailed
response to the show cause notice vide a letter dated
June 30, 2006 stating that the sanction of the facility was
undertaken on ICICI Banks understanding that the retail
sector fell under the category of the real sector and that the
real estate sector was the only ineligible sector as per the
guidelines. Certain additional information was also submitted to
the Reserve Bank of India. Subsequently, ICICI Bank made an oral
submission to the Executive Director of the Reserve Bank of
India on August 4, 2006 explaining the earlier submissions
in detail. The Reserve Bank of India has advised that the
guidelines issued by it be adhered to in both letter and spirit,
and without occurrences of any lapses.
Pursuant to reports received from the Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI), the Reserve Bank of India had conducted a
scrutiny of certain accounts across various banks, including
ICICI Bank. Based on the scrutiny, the Reserve Bank of India had
issued a show cause notice dated December 29, 2005 to seven
banks, including ICICI Bank. In the show cause notice issued to
us, the Reserve Bank of India observed that ICICI Bank had
violated the its directions, instructions and guidelines
relating to the opening of accounts, monitoring of transactions
and adherence to normal banking practices. ICICI Bank submitted
its detailed response to the Reserve Bank of India, which was
followed by an oral submission, stating that the Reserve Bank of
India regulations had been adhered to and that normal banking
practices had been followed. After considering the submissions
of the seven banks, the Reserve Bank of India imposed a penalty
on these banks ranging from Rs. 0.5 million to
Rs. 2.0 million. A penalty of
Rs. 0.5 million was imposed on ICICI Bank by the
Reserve Bank of India, vide its communication dated
January 23, 2006. The steps taken by the Reserve Bank of
India against the banks are aimed at strengthening the
countrys banking system and ensuring that instances of
misuse of the banking system by certain individuals seeking to
manipulate capital market processes are prevented. ICICI Bank
has paid the penalty of Rs. 0.5 million.
The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong
(SFC) had filed charges against ICICI Bank for
carrying on the business of dealing in securities in Hong Kong
between June 15, 2004 and March 8, 2006, without
having a license to do so. ICICI Bank had accepted the charges
without contesting and had submitted its mitigation statement
before the Court. The Eastern Magistrates Court, Hong
Kong, consequently fined ICICI Bank a sum of HKD 40,000 and
ordered ICICI Bank to further reimburse prosecution costs of
HK$54,860 to the SFC. The contravention was limited to a small
segment of the branchs business in Hong Kong and has not
resulted in any loss either to ICICI Banks customers or to
ICICI Bank. ICICI Bank has, based on the findings of an internal
review conducted upon the discovery of this incident in April
2006, taken appropriate staff accountability actions against the
relevant staff whose conduct resulted in the contravention.
ICICI Bank has since implemented significant measures to
strengthen the compliance, monitoring and control functions at
the Hong Kong Branch which included bringing in a new management
team.
S-137
On November 3, 2006 the Prosecutors Office in Borovsk
District of Russia conducted an
on-site inspection of
ICICI Bank Eurasia LLC and issued a warning to ICICI Bank
Eurasia LLC for some violations detected. These violations
pertained to delayed reporting on transactions under obligatory
supervision, including a cash transaction, and errors in the
matters reported to the Federal Service for Financial Monitoring
during 2005 and upto March 31, 2006 and were contrary to
the requirements under the Russian legislation on anti-money
laundering. All such findings of the Prosecutors Office
were based on the previous findings of the Central Bank of
Russia audit which was conducted in April May 2006.
ICICI Bank Eurasia has since reviewed its anti money laundering
processes and has taken appropriate measures to ensure
compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements in this
regard, including strengthening its anti-money laundering
department, establishing an institution of further training, and
revising its systems.
In addition, we have experienced rapid international expansion
into banking in multiple jurisdictions which exposes us to a new
variety of regulatory and business challenges and risks,
including cross-cultural risk, and which increased the
complexity of our risks in a number of areas including currency
risks, interest rate risks, compliance risk, regulatory risk,
reputational risk and operational risk. As a result of this
rapid growth and increased complexity, we or our employees may
be subject to regulatory investigations or enforcement
proceedings in multiple jurisdictions in a variety of contexts.
Despite our best efforts at regulatory compliance and internal
controls, we, or our employees, may from time to time, and as is
common in the financial services industry, be the subject of
confidential examinations or investigations that might, or might
not, lead to proceedings against us or our employees. In any
such situation, it would be our policy to conduct an internal
investigation, cooperate with the regulatory authorities and,
where appropriate suspend or discipline employees including
termination of their services.
We cannot predict the timing or form of any future regulatory or
law enforcement initiatives, which we note are increasingly
common for international banks, but we would expect to cooperate
with any such regulatory investigation or proceeding.
S-138
MANAGEMENT
Directors and Executive Officers
Our board of directors, consisting of 17 members at
June 1, 2007, is responsible for the management of our
business. Our organizational documents provide for a minimum of
three directors and a maximum of 21 directors, excluding
the government director and the debenture director (defined
below), if any. We may, subject to the provisions of our
organizational documents and the Companies Act, change the
minimum or maximum number of directors by a resolution which is
passed at a general meeting by a majority of the present and
voting shareholders. In addition, under the Banking Regulation
Act, the Reserve Bank of India may require us to convene a
meeting of our shareholders for the purposes of appointing new
directors to our board of directors.
The Banking Regulation Act requires that at least 51% of our
directors should have special knowledge or practical experience
in banking and areas relevant to banking including accounting,
finance, agriculture and small scale industry. All of our
directors are professionals with special knowledge of one or
more of the above areas. Of the 17 directors, five are
directors who are in our wholetime employment, or wholetime
directors. The appointment of wholetime directors requires the
approval of the Reserve Bank of India and the shareholders. The
government of India has appointed one representative,
Mr. Vinod Rai, to our board. Of the remaining
11 independent directors, Mr. N. Vaghul is the
non-executive chairman of our board, Mr. R.K. Joshi is
the former Chairman-cum-Managing Director of General Insurance
Corporation of India and Mr. T.S. Vijayan is the
Chairman of Life Insurance Corporation of India, which are among
ICICI Banks large institutional shareholders. One director
is a consultant, one is a chartered accountant and business
advisor, one is a professor of finance, two are retired company
executives, one is from a financial holding company with
investments in insurance and investment management and three are
from industrial companies (including agriculture-based
industries). Of the 11 non-wholetime directors, three have
specialized knowledge in respect of agriculture and rural
economy or small-scale industry. The Reserve Bank of India has
also prescribed fit and proper criteria to be
considered while appointing persons as directors of banking
companies. Our directors are required to make declarations
confirming their ongoing compliance of the fit and
proper criteria. Our board of directors has reviewed the
declarations received from the directors in this regard and
determined that all our directors satisfy the fit and
proper criteria.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act, at least
two-thirds of the total number of directors are subject to
retirement by rotation. The government director and the
debenture director are not subject to retirement by rotation as
per our organizational documents, One-third of these directors
must retire from office at each annual meeting of shareholders.
A retiring director is eligible for re-election. Pursuant to the
provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, none of the directors
other than wholetime directors may hold office continuously for
a period exceeding eight years. Pursuant to the Reserve Bank of
India guidelines, a person would be eligible for appointment as
director if he or she is between 35 and 70 years of age.
Our organizational documents also provide that we may execute
trust deeds in respect of our debentures under which the trustee
or trustees may appoint a director, known as the debenture
director. The debenture director is not subject to retirement by
rotation and may only be removed as provided in the relevant
trust deed. Currently, there is no debenture director on our
board of directors.
Mr. N. Vaghul was appointed as a director on
March 27, 2002. He was appointed as non-wholetime chairman
of the board effective May 3, 2002 for a period of three
years. The board at its meeting on April 30, 2005
reappointed him as non-wholetime chairman of the board until
April 30, 2009 which has been approved by the Reserve Bank
of India.
Our board of directors had first appointed Ms. Chanda
Kochhar and Dr. Nachiket Mor as Executive Directors
effective April 1, 2001 and Mr. K.V. Kamath,
previously a non-wholetime director on our board, as Managing
Director & CEO effective May 3, 2002. Our Board
designated Ms. Chanda Kochhar and Dr. Nachiket Mor as
Deputy Managing Directors effective April 29, 2006.
Mr. K. V. Kamaths current term of office is
till April 30, 2009. In terms of the shareholder approvals
for their appointments, the term of office
S-139
of Ms. Chanda Kochhar and Dr. Nachiket Mor is till
March 31, 2011. The Reserve Bank of India has approved
their term of office till April 30, 2009.
Our board of directors appointed Mr. V. Vaidyanathan
as a wholetime director designated as Executive Director for a
period of five years, effective October 24, 2006. The
Reserve Bank of India has approved his appointment. Our board of
directors, at its meeting held on April 28, 2007, appointed
Ms. Madhabi Puri-Buch as a wholetime director designated as
an Executive Director effective June 1, 2007, for a period
of five years. The approval of the shareholders for these
appointments will be sought at the next annual general meeting
of the shareholders. The appointment of Ms. Madhabi
Puri-Buch is subject to the approval of the Reserve Bank of
India.
In order to comply with the provisions of the Companies Act and
our organizational documents, Mr. V. Vaidyanathan and
Ms. Madhabi Puri-Buch will be subject to retirement by
rotation if at any time the number of non-rotational directors
exceeds one-third of the total number of directors. If they are
re-appointed as directors immediately upon retirement by
rotation, they will continue to hold their offices as wholetime
directors, and the retirement by rotation and re-appointment
shall not be deemed to constitute a break in their appointment.
Our other executive officers may hold office until they retire,
unless they are discharged earlier by us.
Ms. Lalita D. Gupte completed her term as Joint
Managing Director of ICICI Bank on October 31, 2006 and
retired from our board of directors with effect from
November 1, 2006. Ms. Kalpana Morparia completed her
term as Joint Managing Director of ICICI Bank on May 31,

Corporate Governance

of the board and the importance of making the board transparent
to all its constituents, including employees, customers,
investors and the
S-146
regulatory authorities, and to demonstrate that the shareholders
are the ultimate beneficiaries of our economic activities.
Our corporate governance framework is based on an effective
independent board, the separation of the boards
supervisory role from the executive management and the
constitution of board committees, generally comprising a
majority of independent directors and chaired by an independent
director, to oversee critical areas and functions of executive
management.
Our corporate governance philosophy encompasses not only
regulatory and legal requirements, such as the terms of listing
agreements with stock exchanges, but also several voluntary
practices aimed at a high level of business ethics, effective
supervision and enhancement of value for all stakeholders.

Summary Comparison of Corporate Governance
Practices |
The following is a summary comparison of significant differences
between our corporate governance practices and those required by
the NYSE for US issuers.
Independent directors. A majority of our board are
independent directors, as defined under applicable Indian legal
requirements. Under these requirements, directors are not
independent if they have any material pecuniary relationship or
transactions with us, our management or our subsidiaries. We
have not made a determination as to whether our directors would
be considered independent under the NYSE rules. Though the
judgment on independence must be made by our board, there is no
requirement that our board affirmatively make such
determination, as required by the NYSE rules. Further, one of
our directors is a representative of the Indian government, as
required by the terms of the loan and guarantee facilities
provided by the Indian government.
Non-management directors meetings. Though there is no
such requirement under applicable Indian legal requirements, our
non-management directors meet separately before each board
meeting.
Board Governance and Remuneration Committee and the Audit
Committee. The members of our Board Governance and
Remuneration Committee are independent, as defined under
applicable Indian legal requirements. All members of our Audit
Committee are independent under
Rule 10A-3 under
the Exchange Act. The constitution and main functions of these
committees as approved by our board are described above and
comply with the spirit of the NYSE requirements for US issuers.
S-150
Corporate Governance Guidelines. Under NYSE rules, US
issuers are required to adopt and disclose corporate governance
guidelines addressing matters such as standards of director
qualification, responsibilities of directors, director
compensation, director orientation and continuing education,
management succession and annual performance review of the board
of directors. As a foreign private issuer, we are not required
to adopt such guidelines.
Compensation and Benefits to Directors and Officers
Under our organizational documents, each non-wholetime director,
except the government director, is entitled to receive
remuneration for attending each meeting of our board or of a
board committee. The amount of remuneration payable to
non-wholetime directors is set by our board from time to time in
accordance with limitations prescribed by the Indian Companies
Act or the Government of India. The remuneration for attending
each board or committee meeting is currently fixed at Rs. 20,000
(US$ 464). In addition, we reimburse directors for travel and
related expenses in connection with board and committee meetings
and related matters. If a director is required to perform
services for us beyond attending meetings, we may remunerate the
director as determined by our board of directors and this
remuneration may be either in addition to or as substitution for
the remuneration discussed above. We have not paid any
remuneration to non-wholetime directors other than the
remuneration for attending each meeting of our board or of a
board committee. Non-wholetime directors are not entitled to the
payment of any benefits at the end of their term of office.
Our board or any committee thereof may fix, within the range
approved by our shareholders, the salary payable to the
wholetime directors. We are required to obtain specific approval
of the Reserve Bank of India for the actual monthly salary and
performance bonus paid each year to the wholetime directors. The
Reserve Bank of Indias approval has been sought for the
payment of performance bonus to our wholetime directors for
fiscal 2007 and for the monthly salary payable for fiscal 2008.
The following table sets forth the currently applicable monthly
salary ranges, and the revised ranges approved by our board of
directors for which approval of our shareholders will be sought
at the next annual general meeting.

The board (based on the recommendation of the Board Governance
& Remuneration Committee) at its meeting held on
April 28, 2007 approved the revision in salary range of the
wholetime Directors, subject to the approval of the shareholders. |
The wholetime directors are entitled to perquisites (evaluated
pursuant to Indian Income-tax Rules, wherever applicable, and
otherwise at actual cost to ICICI Bank), such as furnished
accommodation, gas, electricity, water and furnishings, club
fees, personal insurance, use of car and telephone at residence
or reimbursement of expenses in lieu thereof, payment of
income-tax on perquisites by ICICI Bank to the extent
permissible under the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961 and the Rules
framed thereunder, medical reimbursement, leave and leave travel
concession, education benefits, provident fund, superannuation
fund, gratuity and other
S-151
retirement benefits, in accordance with the scheme(s) and
rule(s) applicable to employees of ICICI Bank from time to time.
Where accommodation is not provided, each of the wholetime
directors is eligible for a house rent allowance of Rs. 50,000
(US$ 1,160) per month and maintenance of accommodation including
furniture, fixtures and furnishings, as may be provided by ICICI
Bank. Our board of directors has approved an increase in the
house rent allowance payable to the wholetime directors from Rs.
50,000 (US$ 1,160) per month to Rs. 100,000 (US$ 2,320) per
month effective April 1, 2007, subject to the approval of
the shareholders and the Reserve Bank of India.
None of the service contracts with our directors provide for
benefits upon termination of engagement.
The total compensation paid by ICICI Bank to its wholetime
directors and executive officers, Mr. K.V. Kamath,
Ms Lalita Gupte, Ms. Kalpana Morparia,
Ms. Chanda D. Kochhar, Dr. Nachiket Mor,
Mr. V. Vaidyanathan, Ms. Madhabi Puri-Buch,
Ms. Vishakha Mulye, Mr. Pravir Vohra, and
Mr. K. Ramkumar in fiscal 2007, including bonus for
fiscal 2006, was Rs. 129 million
(US$ 3 million).
Each year, our board of directors awards discretionary bonuses
to employees and wholetime directors on the basis of performance
and seniority. The performance of each employee is evaluated
through a performance management appraisal system. The aggregate
amount paid by ICICI Bank for bonuses to all eligible employees
(including bonus payable to wholetime directors subject to
approval of the Reserve Bank of India) for fiscal 2007 was Rs.
2.3 billion (US$ 53 million). This amount was paid
(or, in the case of wholetime directors, will be paid subject to
approval of the Reserve Bank of India) in fiscal 2008.

Employee Stock Option Scheme |
ICICI Bank has an Employee Stock Option Scheme in terms of which
up to 5.0% of our issued equity shares may be allocated to
employee stock options. Permanent employees and directors of
ICICI Bank, its subsidiaries and its holding company are
eligible employees for grant of stock options. ICICI Bank has no
holding company. The maximum number of options granted to any
eligible employee in a year is restricted to 0.05% of our issued
equity shares at the time of the grant.
Under the stock option scheme, eligible employees are entitled
to apply for equity shares. The options granted for fiscal 2003
and earlier vest annually in a graded manner over a three-year
period, with 20.0%, 30.0% and 50.0% of the grants vesting each
year, commencing not earlier than 12 months from the date
of grant. Options granted for fiscal 2004 through fiscal 2006,
and other grants made during fiscal 2007, vest in a graded
manner over a four-year period with 20.0%, 20.0%, 30.0% and
30.0% of grants vesting each year, commencing from the end of
12 months from the date of grant. Options granted for
fiscal 2007 in fiscal 2008 (through May 15, 2007) vest in a
graded manner over three years, with one-third of the grant
vesting in each year. The options can be exercised within
10 years from the date of grant or five years from the date
of vesting, whichever is later.
The exercise price for options granted prior to June 30,
2003 is equal to the market price of our equity shares on the
date of grant on the stock exchange, which recorded the highest
trading volume on the date of grant. On June 30, 2003, the
Securities and Exchange Board of India revised its guidelines on
employee stock options. While the revised guidelines provided
that companies were free to determine the exercise price of
stock options granted by them, they prescribed accounting rules
and other disclosures, including expensing of stock options in
the income statement, which are applicable to our Indian GAAP
financial statements, in the event the exercise price was not
equal to the average of the high and low market price of the
equity shares in the two week period preceding the date of grant
of the options, on the stock exchange which recorded the highest
trading volume during the two week period. Effective
July 22, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Board of India
revised this basis of pricing to the latest available closing
price, prior to the date of the meeting of the board of
directors in which options are granted, on the stock exchange
which recorded the highest trading volume on that date. The
exercise price for options granted by ICICI Bank on or after
June 30, 2003, but before July 22, 2004 is equal to
the average of the high and low market price of the equity
shares in the two week period preceding the date of grant of the
options, on the stock exchange which
S-152
recorded the highest trading volume during the two week period.
The exercise price of options granted on or after July 22,
2004 is equal to the closing price on the stock exchange which
recorded the highest trading volume preceding the date of grant
of options.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
stock option grants ICICI Bank has made under its employee stock
option scheme. ICICI Bank granted all of these stock options at
no cost to its employees. ICICI Bank has not granted any stock
options to its non-wholetime directors.

ICICI Bank has internal rules for grant of loans to employees
and wholetime directors to acquire certain assets such as
property, vehicles and other consumer durables. ICICI
Banks loans to employees have been made at interest rates
ranging from 2.5% to 3.5% per annum and are repayable over fixed
periods of time. The loans are generally secured by the assets
acquired by the employees. Pursuant to the Banking
Regulation Act, ICICI Banks non-whole time directors
are not eligible for any loans. At year-end fiscal 2007, there
were loans of Rs. 6.5 billion
(US$ 151 million), compared to loans of
Rs. 4.7 billion (US$ 109 million) at
year-end fiscal 2006, outstanding to ICICI Bank employees. This
amount included loans of Rs. 45 million
(US$ 1 million), compared to Rs. 57 million
(US$ 1 million) at year-end fiscal 2006, to certain of
its directors and executive officers, made on the same terms,
including as to interest rates and collateral, as loans to other
employees.
Under Indian law, ICICI Bank is required to pay a gratuity to
employees who retire or resign after at least five years of
continuous service. ICICI Bank makes contributions to three
separate gratuity funds, for employees inducted from ICICI,
employees inducted from Bank of Madura and employees of ICICI
Bank other than employees inducted from ICICI and Bank of Madura.
The gratuity funds for employees inducted from ICICI and Bank of
Madura are separate gratuity funds managed by ICICI Prudential
Life Insurance Company Limited. Actuarial valuation of the
gratuity liability is determined by an actuary appointed by
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited. The investments
of the funds are made according to rules prescribed by the
government of India. The accounts of the funds are audited by
independent auditors. The total corpus of these funds at
year-end fiscal 2007 based on their unaudited financial
statements was Rs. 528 million
(US$ 12 million).
The gratuity fund for employees of ICICI Bank other than
employees inducted from ICICI and Bank of Madura, is
administered jointly by the Life Insurance Corporation of India
and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company. In accordance with
the gratuity funds rules, actuarial valuation of gratuity
liability is calculated based on certain assumptions regarding
rate of interest, salary growth, mortality and staff turnover.
The total corpus of the funds at year-end fiscal 2007 was
Rs. 390 million (US$ 9 million) compared to
Rs. 281 million (US$ 7 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006.
S-154
ICICI Bank contributes 15.0% of the total annual salary of each
employee to a superannuation fund for ICICI Bank employees.
ICICI Banks employees get an option on retirement or
resignation to receive one-third of the total balance and a
monthly pension based on the remaining two-third balance. In the
event of death of an employee, his or her beneficiary receives
the remaining accumulated balance of 66.7%. ICICI Bank also
gives a cash option to its employees, allowing them to receive
the amount contributed by ICICI Bank in their monthly salary
during their employment. From fiscal 2006, the superannuation
fund is being administered by Life Insurance Corporation of
India and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited.
Employees have the option to retain the existing balance with
the Life Insurance Corporation of India or ICICI Prudential
Insurance Company Limited. The total corpus of the
superannuation fund was Rs. 1,047 million
(US$ 24 million) at year-end fiscal 2007 compared to
Rs. 919 million (US$ 21 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006.
ICICI Bank is statutorily required to maintain a provident fund
as a part of its retirement benefits to its employees. There are
separate provident funds for employees inducted from Bank of
Madura (other than those employees who have opted for pensions),
and for other employees of ICICI Bank. These funds are managed
by in-house trustees. Each employee contributes 12.0% of his or
her basic salary (10.0% for clerks and sub-staff of Bank of
Madura) and ICICI Bank contributes an equal amount to the funds.
The investments of the funds are made according to rules
prescribed by the government of India. The accounts of the funds
are audited by independent auditors. The total corpuses of the
funds for employees inducted from Bank of Madura, and other
employees of ICICI Bank at year-end fiscal 2007 based on their
unaudited financial statements were Rs. 445 million
(US$ 10 million) and Rs. 3.2 billion
(US$ 74 million) respectively. ICICI Bank made
aggregate contributions of Rs. 756 million
(US$ 18 million) to these funds during fiscal 2007,
compared to Rs. 415 million (US$ 10 million)
in fiscal 2006.
Out of the employees inducted from Bank of Madura and employed
with ICICI Bank at year-end fiscal 2007, 280 employees had opted
for pensions and 649 employees had opted for a provident fund.
For employees who opted for a provident fund, ICICI Banks
contribution of 12.0% of his or her basic salary (10% for clerks
and sub-staff) is credited to the provident fund every month.
For employees who opted for pensions, ICICI Banks
contribution of 12.0% of his or her basic salary (10% for clerks
and sub-staff) is credited to the pension fund every month.
These funds are managed by in-house trustees. The investments of
the funds are made according to rules prescribed by the
government of India. The accounts of the fund are audited by
independent auditors. The employees who opted for pensions are
entitled to a monthly pension from the day after their
retirement. ICICI Bank also gives a cash option to employees,
allowing them to receive the present value of one-third of their
monthly pension in total satisfaction. Upon death of an
employee, family members are entitled to payment of a family
pension pursuant to the rules in this regard. The corpus of the
fund at year-end fiscal 2007 was Rs. 1.0 billion
(US$ 24 million), compared to
Rs. 1.0 billion (US$ 24 million) at year-end
fiscal 2006.

S-157
RESTRICTION ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
India strictly regulates ownership of Indian companies by
foreigners. Foreign investment in Indian securities, including
the equity shares represented by the ADSs, is generally
regulated by the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, which
permits transactions involving the inflow or outflow of foreign
exchange and empowers the Reserve Bank of India to prohibit or
regulate such transactions.
The Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 regulates transactions
involving foreign exchange and provides that certain
transactions cannot be carried out without the general or
special permission of the Reserve Bank of India or the Foreign
Investment Promotion Board of the government of India. The
Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 has eased restrictions on
current account transactions. However, the Reserve Bank of India
continues to exercise control over capital account transactions
(i.e., those which alter the assets or liabilities,
including contingent liabilities, of persons). The Reserve Bank
of India has issued regulations under the Foreign Exchange
Management Act, 1999 to regulate the various kinds of capital
account transactions, including certain aspects of the purchase
and issuance of shares of Indian companies.
Under the foreign investment rules, the following are the
restrictions on foreign ownership applicable to us:
|
|
|
|
|
Foreign investors may own up to 74.0 % of our equity shares
subject to conformity with guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank
of India from time to time. This limit is under the automatic
route and does not require specific approval of the Foreign
Investment Promotion Board. This limit includes foreign direct
investment, ADSs, Global Depositary Receipts and investment
under the Portfolio Investment Scheme by foreign institutional
investors and also non-resident Indians, and also includes
shares acquired by subscription to private placements and public
offerings and acquisition of shares from existing shareholders.
At least 26 % of the paid up equity capital would have to be
held by residents. |
|
|
|
Under the Issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and Equity
Shares (Through Depositary Receipt Mechanism) Scheme, 1993,
foreign investors may purchase ADSs, subject to the receipt of
all necessary government approvals at the time the depositary
receipt program is set up. |
|
|
|
Under the portfolio investment scheme, foreign institutional
investors, subject to registration with the Securities and
Exchange Board of India and the Reserve Bank of India, may hold
in aggregate up to 24.0% of our paid-up equity capital and this
limit may be raised to 49% by a resolution of our Board of
Directors provided that no single foreign institutional investor
may own more than 10.0% of our total paid-up equity capital. Our
Board of Directors has raised this limit to 49%. Registered FIIs
are also permitted to purchase shares or convertible debentures
of an Indian company in a public offering or private placement.
The shareholding of an individual non-resident Indian is
restricted to 5.0% of our total paid-up equity capital. The
aggregate paid-up value of the shares in a company purchased by
all NRIs in the aggregate is to be limited to 10% of the paid-up
capital of the company and this limit may be raised to 24 % by a
special resolution at a general meeting of the shareholders of
the company. |
|
|
|
The Reserve Bank of Indias guidelines relating to
acquisition by purchase or otherwise of equity shares of a
private sector bank, if such acquisition results in any person
owning or controlling 5.0 % or more of the paid up equity
capital of the bank, are also applicable to foreign investors
investing in our shares. For more details on the Reserve Bank of
India guidelines relating to acquisition by purchase or
otherwise of shares of a private bank, see Supervision and
Regulation Reserve Bank of India
Regulations Ownership Restrictions. |
Pursuant to a circular dated November 29, 2001, the Reserve
Bank of India notified that, as of that date, overseas corporate
bodies are not permitted to invest under the portfolio
investment scheme, though they may continue to hold investments
that have already been made under the portfolio investment
scheme until such time as these investments are sold on the
stock exchange. Overseas corporate bodies have been derecognised
as a class of investor entity in India with effect from
September 16, 2003. However, requests from such entities
which are incorporated and not under the adverse notice of the
Reserve Bank of India or the
S-158
Securities and Exchange Board of India, will be considered for
under fresh investments under the Foreign Direct Investment
scheme of the Reserve Bank of India with prior approval of the
government of India or the Reserve Bank of India, as applicable.
An Indian company may sponsor an issue of ADSs with an overseas
depositary against shares held by its shareholders at a price to
be determined by the lead manager. Under this mechanism the
company offers its residents a choice to submit their shares
back to the company so that on the basis of such shares, ADSs
can be issued abroad. The proceeds of a sponsored ADR must be
repatriated to India within a period of one month. The
sponsoring company must comply with the provisions of the Scheme
for Issue of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds and Ordinary
Shares (Through Depositary Receipt Mechanism) Scheme, 1993 and
the guidelines issued thereunder by the Government of India from
time to time. The sponsoring company must also furnish full
details of the issue in the prescribed forms to the Reserve Bank
of India within 30 days from the date of closure of the
issue.
We obtained the approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion
Board for our ADS offering in March 2000 and sponsored an ADS
offering in March 2005 which were foreign direct investments.
The investments through the portfolio investment scheme in the
secondary market in India by foreign institutional investors,
non-resident Indians and overseas corporate bodies and
investments through the foreign direct investment scheme are
distinct schemes that are available concurrently. As of
May 12, 2007, foreign investors owned approximately 71.5%
of our equity in total, of which 25.1% was through the ADS
program.
An investor in ADSs does not need to seek the specific approval
from the government of India to purchase, hold or dispose of
ADSs. In the ADS offerings, we obtained the approval of the
government of Indias Department of Corporate Affairs and
the relevant stock exchanges.
Equity shares which have been withdrawn from the depositary
facility and transferred on our register of shareholders to a
person other than the depositary or its nominee may be voted by
that person provided the necessary procedural requirements have
been met. However, you may not receive sufficient advance notice
of shareholder meetings to enable you to withdraw the underlying
equity shares and vote at such meetings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a foreign institutional
investor, non-resident Indian or overseas corporate body were to
withdraw its equity shares from the ADS program, its investment
in the equity shares would be subject to the general
restrictions on foreign ownership noted above and may be subject
to the portfolio investment restrictions. Secondary purchases of
securities of a banking company in India by foreign direct
investors or investments by non-resident Indians, overseas
corporate bodies and foreign institutional investors above the
ownership levels set forth above require government of India
approval on a case-by-case basis. It is unclear whether similar
case-by-case approvals of ownership of equity shares withdrawn
from the depositary facility by foreign institutional investors,
non-resident Indians and overseas corporate bodies would be
required.
You will be required to make a public offer to the remaining
shareholders to purchase the equity shares held by them if you
withdraw your equity shares from the ADS program and your direct
or indirect holding in us exceeds 15.0% of our total equity
under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial
Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 1997. Such a
public offer would have to be made in compliance with the
provisions of the aforesaid regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India. You will also require the
acknowledgement of the Reserve Bank of India for the acquisition
or transfer of our shares, which will take your aggregate
holding (both direct and indirect, beneficial or otherwise) as
an individual or a group to the equivalent of 5.0% or more of
our total paid up capital. The Reserve Bank of India, while
granting acknowledgement, may take into account all matters that
it considers relevant to the application, including ensuring
that shareholders whose aggregate holdings are above specified
thresholds meet fitness and propriety tests. For more details on
the Reserve Bank of India guidelines relating to acquisition by
purchase or otherwise of shares of a private bank, see
Supervision and Regulation Reserve Bank of
India Regulations Ownership Restrictions.
ADSs issued by Indian companies to non-residents have free
transferability outside India. Under current Indian regulations
and practice, approval of the Reserve Bank of India is not
required for the sale of equity
S-159
shares underlying the ADSs by a non-resident of India to a
resident of India if the sale has been executed on a recognized
stock exchange in India through a registered broker at the
prevailing market price. Approval of the Reserve Bank of India
is also not required for a sale of shares of a company other
than a company in the financial services sector (banks, non-bank
finance companies and insurance companies), even if the transfer
is other than on a recognized stock exchange in India or through
a registered broker, as long as conditions generally prescribed
by Reserve Bank of India are complied with. The same
restrictions apply to a renunciation of rights to a resident of
India. Approval of the Reserve Bank of India is not required for
sale of shares under the portfolio investment scheme prescribed
by the Reserve Bank of India provided the sale is made on a
recognized stock exchange and through a registered stock broker.
Any new issue of equity shares of a banking company, either
through the automatic route or with the specific approval of the
Foreign Investment Promotion Board, does not require further
approval of the Reserve Bank of India, but must comply with
certain reporting requirements.
S-160
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA APPROVALS
The equity shares underlying the ADS offered under an offering
shall be held for the holders of the ADS by Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas and we shall seek the Reserve Bank of
Indias acknowledgement for the shareholding of the
depositary in excess of 5% of our
paid-up equity share
capital, as required by the Reserve Bank of Indias
guidelines.
The Ministry of Finance of the Government of India has issued
guidelines for the issuance of American Depositary Receipts by
Indian companies, such as us, which require that the price at
which American Depositary Receipts are issued not be lower than
the product of (a) the number of equity shares represented
by each American Depositary Receipt and (b) the higher of
(i) the average of the weekly high and low price of our
equity shares for the six months preceding the date
30 days prior to the date on which shareholder approval for
the issuance is obtained; and (ii) the average of the
weekly high and low price of our equity shares for the
two weeks preceding the date 30 days prior to the date
on which shareholder approval for the issuance is obtained. The
Ministry of Finance has exempted from these guidelines issuances
of American Depositary Receipts made simultaneously with or
within 30 days after issuance of shares in the Indian
market by the issuer, where the American Depositary Receipts are
priced at or above the domestic issue price in India.
See Restriction on Foreign Ownership of Indian
Securities.
S-161
TAXATION
Indian Taxation
The following discussion is the opinion of Amarchand &
Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co.
The discussion of material Indian tax consequences to investors
in ADSs and equity shares who are not resident in India whether
of Indian origin or not (each a non-resident) is
based on the provisions of the Indian
Income-tax Act, 1961
(the Income-tax Act), including the special tax
regime for ADSs contained in Section 115AC, which has been
extended to cover additional ADSs that an investor may acquire
in an amalgamation or restructuring of the company, and certain
regulations implementing the Section 115AC regime. The
Income-tax Act is
amended every year by the Finance Act of the relevant year. Some
or all of the tax consequences described herein may be amended
or modified by future amendments to the
Income-tax Act.
The summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of
the tax consequences under Indian law of the acquisition,
ownership and sale of ADSs and equity shares by
non-resident investors.
Potential investors should, therefore, consult their own tax
advisers regarding the tax consequences of such acquisition,
ownership and sale, including the tax consequences under Indian
law, the law of the jurisdiction of their residence, any tax
treaty between India and their country of residence, and in
particular the application of the regulations implementing the
Section 115AC regime.
For the purpose of the
Income-tax Act, an
individual is a resident of India during any fiscal year, if he
(i) is in India in that year for 182 days or more or
(ii) having been in India for a period or periods
aggregating 365 days or more during the four years
preceding that fiscal year, is in India for a period or periods
aggregating 60 days or more in that fiscal year. The period
of 60 days is substituted by 182 days in the case of
an Indian citizen or person of Indian origin who being resident
outside India comes on a visit to India during the fiscal year
or an Indian citizen who leaves India for the purposes of his
employment during the fiscal year. A company is resident in
India in any fiscal year if it is registered in India or the
control and management of its affairs is situated wholly in
India in that year. A firm or other association of persons is
resident in India except where the control and management of its
affairs are situated wholly outside India.
|
|
|
Taxation of Distributions |
Dividends paid are not subject to any Indian withholding or
other tax payable by the shareholders. However, we are required
to pay tax at the rate of 16.995%. The dividend so paid is not
taxable under section 115AC in the hands of the ADS holders.
|
|
|
Taxation on Redemption of ADSs |
The acquisition of equity shares upon redemption of ADSs by a
non-resident investor will not give rise to a taxable event for
Indian tax purposes.
|
|
|
Taxation on Sale of ADSs or Equity Shares |
Any transfer of ADSs outside India by a non-resident investor to
another non-resident investor will not give rise to Indian
capital gains tax in the hands of the transferor.
Subject to any relief under any relevant double taxation treaty,
gain arising from the sale of an equity share will generally
give rise to a liability for Indian capital gains tax in the
hands of the transferor. Such tax is required to be withheld at
source. Where the equity share has been held for more than
12 months (measured from the date of advice of redemption
of the ADS by the depositary as specified below), and no
securities transaction tax (as discussed below), is payable, the
rate of tax varies and the gain will be subject to tax at normal
rates of income tax applicable to non-residents under the
provisions of the
Income-tax Act, subject
to a maximum of 11.33% (including applicable surcharges and an
additional surcharge by way of education cess). Where the equity
share has been held for 12 months or less, and no
securities transaction tax
S-162
(as discussed below) is payable, the rate of tax varies and the
gain will be subject to tax at normal rates of income tax
applicable to
non-residents under the
provisions of the
Income-tax Act, subject
to a maximum of 42.23% (including applicable surcharges and
education cess) in the case of foreign companies. The actual
rate depends on a number of factors, including without
limitation the nature of the non-resident investor. In addition
there is a levy of securities transaction tax effective
October 1, 2004, which is levied on purchase/sale
transactions of equity shares entered into on a recognized stock
exchange in India at the specified rates in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter VII thereunder. The transaction of
equity shares entered into on a recognised stock exchange in
India settled by actual delivery or transfer will be subject to
securities transaction tax at the rate of 0.125%, on the value
of the transaction, payable by both the seller and the buyer. In
cases where securities transaction tax is payable, the resulting
long-term capital gains
will be exempt from tax and
short-term capital
gains will vary and be taxable at a maximum tax rate of 11.33%
(including applicable surcharges and an additional surcharge by
way of education cess). During the period that the underlying
equity shares are held by
non-resident investors
following a transfer from the depositary upon redemption, the
provisions of a double taxation treaty entered into by the
government of India with the country of residence of the
non-resident investors
will apply in determining the taxation of any capital gains
arising on a transfer of the equity shares. The double taxation
treaty between the United States and India does not provide US
residents with any relief from Indian tax on capital gains.
For purposes of determining the amount of capital gains arising
on a sale of an equity share for Indian tax purposes, the cost
of acquisition of an equity share received upon redemption of an
ADS will be the price of the share prevailing on the Bombay
Stock Exchange Limited or the National Stock Exchange on the
date on which the depositary advises the custodian to redeem
receipts in exchange for underlying equity shares, not the
acquisition cost of the ADS being redeemed. The holding period
of an equity share received upon redemption of an ADS will
commence on the date of advice of redemption by the depositary.
Distributions to
non-resident investors
of additional ADSs or equity shares or rights to subscribe for
equity shares made with respect to ADSs or equity shares are not
subject to Indian tax in the hands of the
non-resident investor.
It is unclear whether capital gains derived from the sale of
rights outside India by a
non-resident investor
that is not entitled to exemption under a tax treaty to another
non-resident investor
will be subject to Indian capital gains tax. If the rights are
deemed by the Indian tax authorities to be situated within
India, because our situs is in India, then the capital gains
realized on the sale of rights will be subject to customary
Indian capital gains taxation as discussed above.
Stamp Duty
Upon the issuance of the equity shares underlying the ADSs, we
are required to pay a stamp duty of 0.1% of the issue price per
share. A transfer of ADSs is not subject to Indian stamp duty.
Normally, upon the receipt of equity shares in physical form
from the depositary in exchange for ADSs representing such
equity shares, a
non-resident investor
would be liable for Indian stamp duty applicable on
re-issuance in physical
form, which is the same as stamp duty payable on the original
issuance in physical form subject to a maximum of
Rs. 100 per share certificate. Similarly, a sale of
equity shares in physical form by a
non-resident investor
would also be subject to Indian stamp duty at the rate of 0.25%
of the market value of the equity shares on the trade date,
although customarily such tax is borne by the transferee, that
is, the purchaser. However, our equity shares are compulsorily
delivered in non-physical form except for trades up to
500 shares only, which may be delivered in physical form.
Under Indian stamp law, no stamp duty is payable on the
acquisition or transfer of equity shares in
non-physical form. The
State of Maharashtra has provided that records of transactions,
whether electronic or otherwise, effected by a trading member of
a stock exchange through the stock exchange shall be liable for
the payment of stamp duty in the case of delivery at the rate of
0.01%, rounded off to the next rupee, and in the case of
non-delivery at the rate of 0.002%, rounded off to the next
rupee, and if relating to futures and options trading, at the
rate of 0.002%, rounded off to the next rupee.
S-163
At present, there are no taxes on wealth, gifts or inheritance
which apply to the ADSs or underlying equity shares.
Brokerage fees paid to stockbrokers in connection with the sale
or purchase of shares which are listed on any recognized stock
exchange in India are subject to a service tax at a rate of
12.36% (including applicable education cess). The stockbroker is
responsible for collecting the service tax and paying it to the
relevant authority.
United States Taxation
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell, the following
are the material US federal income tax consequences of
purchasing, owning and disposing of ADSs or equity shares to the
US Holders described herein, but is not a comprehensive
description of all of the tax considerations that may be
relevant to a particular person s decision to acquire such
securities. This discussion does not address US state, local and
non-US tax
consequences. The discussion applies only to US Holders who hold
ADSs or equity shares as capital assets for US federal income
tax purposes and it does not address special classes of holders,
such as:
|
|
|
|
|
certain financial institutions; |
|
|
|
insurance companies; |
|
|
|
dealers and certain traders in securities or foreign currencies; |
|
|
|
persons holding ADSs or equity shares as part of a hedge,
straddle, conversion or other integrated |
|
|
|
transaction; |
|
|
|
persons whose functional currency for US federal income tax
purposes is not the US dollar; |
|
|
|
partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for US
federal income tax purposes; |
|
|
|
persons liable for the alternative minimum tax; |
|
|
|
tax-exempt organizations; or |
|
|
|
persons that own or are deemed to own 10% or more of ICICI Bank
voting stock. |
As used herein, a US Holder is a beneficial owner of ADSs or
equity shares that is, for US federal income tax purposes:
(i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a
corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created
or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any
political subdivision thereof; or (iii) an estate or trust
the income of which is subject to US federal income taxation
regardless of its source. This discussion is based on the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, administrative
pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and
proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof. These
laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
This discussion is also based in part on representations by the
depositary and assumes that each obligation under the deposit
agreement and any related agreements will be performed in
accordance with its terms. For US federal income tax purposes,
if a US Holder owns an ADS, such holder will generally be
treated as the owner of the equity shares underlying the ADS.
The US Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom ADSs
are pre-released may be taking actions that are inconsistent
with the claiming of foreign tax credits by US Holders of ADSs.
Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the
preferential rates of tax, described below, applicable to
dividends received by certain non-corporate US Holders.
Accordingly, the availability of preferential rates for
dividends received by certain non-corporate US Holders could be
affected by actions taken by parties to whom ADSs are
pre-released. Please consult your tax adviser with regard to the
application of the US federal
S-164
income tax laws to the ADSs or equity shares in your particular
circumstances, as well as any tax consequences arising under the
laws of any US state, local or other taxing jurisdiction.
This discussion assumes that ICICI Bank is not, and will not
become, a passive foreign investment company (as discussed
below).
Distributions received by US Holders with respect to the
ADSs or equity shares, other than certain pro rata distributions
of equity shares or rights to acquire equity shares, will
constitute foreign-source dividend income for US federal
income tax purposes to the extent paid out of ICICI Banks
current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined in
accordance with US federal income tax principles. The
amount of the dividend a US Holder will be required to
include in income will equal the US dollar value of the
rupees, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect
on the date the payment is received by the depositary
(in the case of ADSs) or by the US Holder (in the
case of equity shares), regardless of whether the payment is
converted into US dollars on the date of receipt. If a
US Holder realizes gain or loss on a sale or other
disposition of rupees, it will be
US-source ordinary
income or loss. Corporate US Holders will not be entitled
to claim the dividends-received deduction with respect to
dividends paid by ICICI Bank. Subject to applicable limitations,
dividends received by certain
non-corporate
US Holders in taxable years beginning before
January 1, 2011 will be taxable at a maximum rate of 15%.
Noncorporate US Holders should consult their own tax
advisers to determine whether they are subject to any special
rules that limit their ability to be taxed at these preferential
rates.
A US Holder will not be able to claim a US foreign tax
credit for any Indian taxes for which ICICI Bank is liable and
must pay as a result of any distribution on the ADSs or equity
shares (as discussed under Indian
Taxation Taxation of Distributions).
|
|
|
Taxation of Capital Gains |
A US Holder will generally recognize US-source capital gain
or loss for US federal income tax purposes on the sale or
other disposition of ADSs or equity shares, which will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the ADSs or equity shares were
held for more than one year. The amount of gain or loss will be
equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale
or other disposition and the US Holders tax basis in the
ADSs or equity shares. Under certain circumstances as described
under Indian Taxation Taxation on
Sale of ADSs or Equity Shares, a US Holder may be
subject to Indian tax upon the sale or other disposition of
equity shares. US Holders should consult their own tax
advisers with respect to their ability to credit this Indian tax
against their US federal income tax liability.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules |
In general, a foreign corporation is a passive foreign
investment company (a PFIC) for any taxable year if:
(i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive
income (such as dividends, interest, rents and royalties) or
(ii) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its
assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the
production of, passive income. Based upon certain proposed
Treasury regulations with respect to banks, which are proposed
to be effective for taxable years beginning after
December 31, 1994, ICICI Bank does not expect to be a PFIC
for its current taxable year or in the foreseeable future.
However, since there can be no assurance that the proposed
Treasury regulations will be finalized in their current form,
the manner of the application of the proposed Treasury
regulations is not entirely clear, and the composition of our
income and assets will vary over time, there can be no assurance
that ICICI Bank will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable
year.
If ICICI Bank is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during
which you own ADSs or equity shares, certain adverse
U.S. federal income tax consequences would apply to you.

Information reporting and backup withholding |
Payment of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the
United States or through certain
US-related financial
intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting
and to backup withholding unless the US Holder is a
corporation or other exempt recipient or, in the case of backup
withholding, such holder provides a correct taxpayer
identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption
from backup withholding has occurred. The amount of any backup
withholding from a payment to a US Holder will be allowed
as a credit against such holders US federal income tax
liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that
the required information is timely furnished to the Internal
Revenue Service.

The Underwriters are, provided certain conditions are satisfied,
committed to take and pay for all of the ADSs being offered by
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, if
any are taken, other than the ADSs and equity shares covered by
the option described below.
In addition, the Underwriters have an option to buy up to an
additional 6,497,462 ADSs (representing up to an additional

within 30 days of the date of this prospectus supplement.
If any ADSs are purchased pursuant to this option, the
Underwriters will severally, subject to the conditions set forth

The following table shows the per ADS and total underwriting
discounts and commissions to be paid to the Underwriters by us.

The ADSs sold by the Underwriters to the public will initially
be offered at the initial price to public set forth on the cover
of this prospectus supplement. Any ADSs sold by the Underwriters
to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to
US$0.14 per ADS from the initial price to public. Any such
securities dealers may resell any ADSs purchased from the
Underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount
of up to US$0.10 per ADS from the initial price to public. If
all the ADSs are not sold at the initial price to public, the
representatives may change the offering price and the other
selling terms.
Our ADSs are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol IBN. Our equity shares, including those
underlying the ADSs, are listed on the National Stock Exchange
and the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited.
We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions and adjusted for a credit
in connection with registration fees previously paid, will be
approximately US$1.6 million, including registration fees
of US$155,525.93, estimated legal fees and expenses of
US$1.0 million and estimated accounting fees and expenses
of US$130,000.0.
We are paying all the expenses of this offering, including
underwriting discounts and commissions except that the
Underwriters are paying for certain fees and expenses, including
certain printing and roadshow expenses.
In addition, we are also selling equity shares in India and
other jurisdictions outside the United States, where permitted,
under an Indian prospectus filed or to be filed with the
Registrar of Companies in India
S-167
together with an international wrap, as applicable, that is
taking place simultaneously with this offering, which we refer
to as the Indian offering. This ADS offering is conditional upon
the completion of the Indian offering, which condition may be
waived by mutual agreement of the Underwriters and ourselves,
provided that all relevant Indian regulations are complied with.
The Indian offering is subject to customary conditions and there
is no assurance that the Indian offering will be completed. The
number of equity shares to be sold in the Indian offering is
expected to equal the number that will result in gross proceeds
of Rs. 87.5 billion or approximately
US$2.14 billion (or Rs. 100.6 billion or
approximately US$2.46 billion assuming full exercise of the
underwriters
over-allotment option).
Each purchaser of our equity shares, directly or in the form of
ADSs, outside the United States who is not a U.S. person is
deemed to have acknowledged, represented and agreed as follows:
|
|
|
(1) It is neither in the United States nor a United States
person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities
Act). |
|
|
(2) Such equity shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act. |
|
|
(3) It is purchasing such equity shares in an offshore
transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 903 of
Regulation S. |
|
|
(4) Until the expiration of the
40-day
distribution compliance period within the meaning of
Rule 903 of Regulation S, no offer or sale of such
equity shares may be made within the United States or to a
U.S. person or for the account or benefit of a
U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S), except
pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements under the Securities Act. |
Until the expiry of 40 days after the closing of this
offering, an offer or sale such equity shares within the United
States by a dealer (whether or not it is participating in this
offering) may violate the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
Investors may not be permitted to deposit equity shares into the
ADR facility until 40 days after the later of (i) the
date the securities are first offered to the public and
(ii) the closing date for the offering. Investors would
have to comply with the procedures under Indian law for the
deposit of equity shares into the ADR facility.
The equity shares being offered in the Indian offering in the
form of equity shares and in this ADS offering in the form of
ADSs include equity shares initially offered and sold outside
the United States pursuant to Regulation S that may be
resold from time to time in the United States in transactions
that require registration under the Securities Act. This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be
used in connection with resales of such equity shares inside the
United States to the extent such transactions would not
otherwise be exempt from registration under the
Securities Act. As a precautionary measure, we have
registered up to an additional 94.7 million equity shares
with the SEC.
We have agreed with the Underwriters not to issue any equity
shares, ADSs or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
ADSs or equity shares or any similar securities during the
period from the date of this prospectus supplement continuing
through the date 90 days after the date of this prospectus
supplement, except with the prior written consent of the
representatives, and subject to certain exceptions.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the
website maintained by one or more underwriters or securities
dealers. One or more of the underwriters may distribute this
prospectus supplement electronically. The representatives of the
Underwriters may agree to allocate a number of ADSs to the
Underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders.
ADSs to be sold pursuant to an Internet distribution will be
allocated by the representatives to the Underwriters that may
make Internet distributions on the same basis as other
allocations. In addition, ADSs may be sold by the Underwriters
to securities dealers who resell ADSs to online brokerage
account holders.
S-168
The Underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify
the offering and to completely or partially reject any orders,
and to sell to any prospective investor less than the full
amount of the ADSs sought by such investor.
In order to facilitate the offering of ADSs, the Underwriters
may purchase and sell equity shares and/or ADSs in the open
market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing
transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short
sales. Short sales involve the sale by the Underwriters of a
greater number of ADSs than they are required to purchase in
this offering. Covered short sales are sales made in
an amount not greater than the Underwriters option to
purchase additional ADSs from us in this offering. The
Underwriters may close out any covered short position by either
exercising their option to purchase additional ADSs or
purchasing additional ADSs in the open market. In determining
the source of ADSs to close out the covered short position, the
Underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of
ADSs available for purchase in the open market as compared to
the price at which they may purchase ADSs through the
over-allotment option.
Naked short sales are any sales in excess of such
option. The Underwriters must close out any naked short position
by purchasing ADSs in the open market. A naked short position is
more likely to be created if the Underwriters are concerned that
there may be downward pressure on the price of ADSs in the open
market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who
purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of
various bids or purchases of ADSs made by the Underwriters in
the open market prior to the completion of the offering.
The Underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when
a particular Underwriter repays to the Underwriters a portion of
the underwriting discount received by it because the
representatives have repurchased ADSs sold by or for the account
of such Underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
transactions (which shall not include sales for the account of
clients of such Underwriter).
Any of these activities by the Underwriters may stabilize,
maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the ADSs. As a
result, the price of the ADSs may be higher than the price that
otherwise might exist in the open market. The Underwriters are
not required to engage in these activities. If these activities
are commenced, they may be discontinued by the Underwriters at
any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York
Stock Exchange, in the
over-the-counter market
or otherwise.
It is expected that delivery of the ADSs to the Underwriters
will be made against payment on a delayed basis. The time of
delivery is expected to be July 5, 2007. Any change in the
time of delivery will be notified to investors through a press
release which will be posted on our website at
www.icicibank.com. Such notification may not occur until
two or three business days before the earlier of July 5,
2007 or the new time of delivery.
Rule 15c6-1 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, generally
requires that securities trades in the secondary market settle
in three business days, unless the parties to the trade
expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to
trade ADSs on any day prior to the third business day before the
delivery of the ADSs will be required, by virtue of the fact
that the ADSs initially will settle on a delayed basis, to
specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such
trade, or to make any necessary arrangements to ensure that ADSs
are available on the third business day after trading for
settlement, to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of ADSs
who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors.
Purchasers who are not able to borrow ADSs or make any other
necessary arrangements to prevent a failed settlement may not be
able to make any trades of ADSs prior to the third business day
before the delivery of the ADSs to the underwriters.
The Underwriters and certain of their affiliates have been and
are currently our clients to whom we provide, or may in the
future provide from time to time, ordinary course commercial
banking services.
From time to time, the Underwriters and certain of their
affiliates have provided and continue to provide commercial and
investment banking services to us for which they have received,
and may in the future receive, customary compensation. An
affiliate of Goldman Sachs International, one of the
underwriters for this ADS Offering, has presented a definitive
offer to subscribe for shares constituting 2.02% of the
post-issue equity capital of our proposed new subsidiary to
which we plan to transfer, subject to the receipt of regulatory
approvals, our equity shareholding in ICICI Prudential Life
Insurance Company Limited, ICICI
S-169
Lombard General Insurance Company Limited, ICICI Prudential
Asset Management Company Limited and ICICI Prudential Trust
Limited.
As of June 12, 2007, affiliates of Goldman Sachs
International owned approximately 2,869,869 of our equity shares
(including through ADSs). As of June 13, 2007, affiliates
of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. owned approximately
1,806,393 of our equity shares (including through ADSs). As of
June 5, 2007, affiliates of CLSA Limited owned
approximately 44,700,480 of our equity shares (including through
ADSs).
Certain Underwriters may make offers and sales in the United
States through their respective registered broker-dealer
affiliates. We have been advised by the Underwriters that
Merrill Lynch International expects to make offers and sales in
the United States through its registered
broker-dealer
affiliate, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated.
Certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates may purchase
equity shares and/or ADSs and may be allocated equity shares
and/or ADSs offered as part of this offering or the concurrent
Indian public offering, at the initial price to public,
including for asset management and/or proprietary purposes. Such
purchases of ADSs in this offering in aggregate will account for
less than 10% of the total amount of this offering.
Each purchaser of the ADSs is deemed to have acknowledged and
represented that following the purchase of ADSs by it, the
aggregate ownership, direct or indirect, beneficial or otherwise
(together with any existing shareholding), by the purchaser, its
relatives (if the purchaser is a natural person) and its
associate enterprises (as defined in section 92A of the
(Indian) Income Tax Act, 1961) of our equity shares shall not
exceed 5% of the total issued share capital upon the completion
of the ADS offering and the Indian public offering, or such
percentage as prescribed under RBI circular dated
February 3, 2004 without having obtained the
acknowledgement from RBI for the same under the terms of the RBI
circular dated February 3, 2004. The purchaser represents
that it does not own more than 5% of us after the purchase of
ADSs and/or equity shares in the ADS offering and the Indian
public offering without the permission of RBI.
The representatives of the Underwriters may be contacted at the
following address: Goldman Sachs International, Peterborough
Court, 133 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2BB,
United Kingdom, and Merrill Lynch International, Merrill

Selling Restrictions for the ADSs
No action has been taken in any jurisdiction (except in the
United States) that would permit a public offering of the
ADSs, or the possession, circulation or distribution of this
prospectus supplement or any other material relating to us or
the ADSs in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is
required. Accordingly, the ADSs may not be offered or sold,
directly or indirectly, and neither this prospectus supplement
nor any other offering material or advertisements in connection
with the ADSs may be distributed or published, in or from any
country or jurisdiction except in compliance with any applicable
rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction. In
this section, references to prospectus refer in each
case to the prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus.
No prospectus or other disclosure document has been lodged with,
or registered by, the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission (ASIC) in relation to this offering. This
prospectus supplement does not constitute a prospectus or other
disclosure document under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the
Corporations Act) and does not purport to
include the information required for a prospectus or other
disclosure document under the Corporations Act.
Any offer in Australia of the ADSs under this prospectus may
only be made to persons (the Exempt Investors)
who are sophisticated investors (within the meaning
of Section 708(8) of the Corporations Act), to
professional investors (within the meaning of
Section 708(11) of the Corporations Act) or otherwise
pursuant to one or more exemptions contained in Section 708
of the Corporations Act so that it is lawful to offer the ADSs
without disclosure to investors under Chapter 6D of the
Corporations Act.
S-170
The ADSs applied for by exempt investors in
Australia must not be offered for sale in Australia for
12 months from the date of issue under the offering, except
in circumstances where disclosure to investors under
Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act would not be required
pursuant to an exemption under Section 708 of the
Corporations Act or otherwise or where the offer is pursuant to
a disclosure document which complies with Chapter 6D of the
Corporations Act or is made where the body issued the relevant
securities with disclosure under Chapter 6D of the
Corporations Act. Any person acquiring ADSs must observe such
Australian on-sale
restrictions.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
You should read this prospectus together with the additional
information described under the heading Where You Can Find
More Information About Us.
Unless otherwise stated in this prospectus or unless the context
otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to
we, our, us, the
Company and ICICI Bank are to ICICI Bank
Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries and other consolidated
entities. References in this prospectus to ICICI are
to ICICI Limited prior to its amalgamation with ICICI Bank
Limited.
In this prospectus, references to US or United
States are to the United States of America, its
territories and its possessions. References to India
are to the Republic of India. References to $ or
US$ or dollars or US dollars
are to the legal currency of the United States and references to
Rs. or rupees or Indian
rupees are to the legal currency of India. References to a
particular fiscal year are to our fiscal year ended
March 31 of such year.
Pursuant to the issuance and listing of our securities in the
United States under registration statements filed with the
United States Securities Exchange Commission, we file annual
reports on
Form 20-F which
must include financial statements prepared under generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP) or
financial statements prepared according to a comprehensive body
of accounting principles with a reconciliation of net income and
stockholders equity to US GAAP. When we first listed our
securities in the United States, Indian GAAP was not considered
a comprehensive body of accounting principles under US
securities laws and regulations. Accordingly, our annual reports
on Form 20-F for
fiscal years 2000 through 2005 have included US GAAP financial
statements. However, pursuant to a significant expansion of
Indian accounting standards, Indian GAAP constitutes a
comprehensive body of accounting principles. Accordingly, we
have included consolidated financial statements prepared
according to Indian GAAP, with a reconciliation of net income
and stockholders equity to US GAAP and a description of
significant differences between Indian GAAP and US GAAP, in our
annual reports of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007.
Except as otherwise stated in this prospectus, all translations
from Indian rupees to US dollars are based on the noon buying
rate in the City of New York on March 30, 2007, for cable
transfers in Indian rupees as certified for customs purposes by
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which was
Rs. 43.10 per $1.00. No representation is made that
the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be
converted into US dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Any
discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of the
amounts listed are due to rounding. On May 31, 2007, the
noon buying rate was Rs. 40.36 per $1.00.
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC) utilizing a shelf registration
process. Under this shelf process, we may sell the securities
described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This
prospectus provides you with a general description of the
securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities pursuant
to the registration statement, we will provide a prospectus
supplement that will contain specific information about the
terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add,
update or change information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus. You should read both this
prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the
additional information described under the heading Where
You Can Find More Information About Us.

ability to pay dividends, the impact of changes in banking
regulations and other regulatory changes in India and other
jurisdictions on us, including on the assets and liabilities of
ICICI, a former financial institution not subject to Indian
banking regulations, our ability to roll over our short-term
funding sources and our exposure to credit, market and liquidity
risks. By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures
are only estimates and could be materially different from what
actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains,
losses or impact on net interest income and net income could
materially differ from those that have been estimated.
In addition, other factors that could cause actual results to

DESCRIPTION OF EQUITY SHARES
For a description of our equity shares, see the section
Description of Equity Shares in the Preliminary
Prospectus contained in our registration statement on
Form F-1 filed on
March 27, 2000 (File
No. 333-30132)
which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus (see
Incorporation of Documents by Reference).
DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary, will issue
the ADRs evidencing the ADSs. Each ADS will represent an
ownership interest in two equity shares. The equity shares will
be deposited with us, as custodian. Our office, as custodian, is
located at Empire Complex, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel,
Mumbai 400013, India. The depositarys principal executive
office is located at 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.
You may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your
broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs
directly, you are an ADS holder. The section Description
of the American Depositary Shares, which is incorporated
by reference in this prospectus (see Incorporation of
Documents by Reference) assumes that you hold your ADSs
directly. If you hold the ADSs indirectly, you will hold your
ADSs through The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and
you must rely on the procedures of your brokers or other
financial institutions to assert the rights of ADS holders
described in this section. You should consult with your broker
or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.
DTC has provided us with the following information: DTC is a
limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York
Banking Law, a banking organization within the
meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the United
States Federal Reserve System, a clearing
corporation within the meaning of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code and a clearing agency registered
under the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC holds securities that its
direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC also records the
settlement among direct participants of securities transactions,
such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through
computerized records for direct participants accounts.
This eliminates the need to exchange certificates. Direct
participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks,
trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other
organizations. Euroclear and Clearstream Banking are direct
participants. DTCs book entry system is also used by other
organizations such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and
trust companies that work through a direct participant. The
rules that apply to DTC and its participants are on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. DTC is owned by a number
of its direct participants and by The New York Stock Exchange,
Inc., The American Stock Exchange, LLC and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
It is DTCs current practice, upon receipt of any cash
payment, to credit direct participants accounts on the
payment date according to their respective holdings of
beneficial interests in the ADSs as shown on DTCs records.
Payments by participants to holders of beneficial interests in
the ADSs and voting by participants will be governed by the
customary practices between the participants and owners of
beneficial interests, as is the case with securities held for
the account of customers registered in street name.
Disbursement of payments to direct participants will be the
responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the
holders of beneficial interests in the ADSs will be the
responsibility of direct and indirect participants.
As the depositary will actually be the legal owner of the equity
shares, you must rely on it to exercise the rights of a
shareholder. The obligations of the depositary are set out in a
deposit agreement among Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas,
you, as an ADS holder, and us. The deposit agreement and the
ADSs are generally governed by New York law.
The section Description of the American Depositary
Shares, which is incorporated by reference in this
prospectus (see Incorporation of Documents by
Reference) contains a summary of the material provisions
of the deposit agreement. As it is a summary, it does not
contain all the information that may be important to you. For
more complete information, you should read the entire deposit
agreement and the ADR. Copies of
6
the deposit agreement and the form of ADR will be available for
inspection at the Corporate Trust Office of the depositary
and at the office of the custodian set forth above.
Voting Rights
You will have no voting rights with respect to the deposited
equity shares. The depositary will exercise voting rights in
respect of the deposited equity shares as directed by our board
of directors. However, under the Banking Regulation Act, no
person holding shares in a banking company can exercise more
than 10.0% of the companys total voting power. As a
result, the depositary, which owned approximately 24.95% of our
equity shares as of June 8, 2007, can vote only 10.0% of
our equity shares. The depositary will not, under any
circumstances, be obliged to exercise any discretion in relation
to the exercise or non-exercise of voting rights.
Equity shares which have been withdrawn from the depositary
facility and transferred on our register of shareholders to a
person other than the depositary or its nominee may be voted by
that person. However, you may not receive sufficient advance
notice of shareholder meetings to enable you to withdraw the
underlying equity shares and vote at such meetings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a foreign institutional
investor, non-resident Indian or overseas corporate body were to
withdraw its equity shares from the depositary facility, its
investment in the equity shares would be subject to the general
restrictions on foreign ownership noted under Restriction
on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities in our annual
report on
Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 filed on June 11,

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA APPROVALS
The equity shares underlying the ADS offered under an offering
shall be held for the holders of the ADS by Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas and we shall seek the Reserve Bank of
Indias acknowledgement for the shareholding of the
depositary in excess of 5% of our
paid-up equity share
capital, as required by the Reserve Bank of Indias
guidelines.
The Ministry of Finance of the Government of India has issued
guidelines for the issuance of American Depositary Receipts by
Indian companies, such as us, which require that the price at
which American Depositary Receipts are issued not be lower than
the product of (a) the number of equity shares represented
by each American Depositary Receipt and (b) the higher of
(i) the average of the weekly high and low price of our
equity shares for the six months preceding the date 30 days
prior to the date on which shareholder approval for the issuance
is obtained; and (ii) the average of the weekly high and
low price of our equity shares for the two weeks preceding the
date 30 days prior to the date on which shareholder
approval for the issuance is obtained. The Ministry of Finance
has exempted from these guidelines issuances of American
Depositary Receipts made simultaneously with or within
30 days after issuance of shares in the Indian market by
the issuer, where the American Depositary Receipts are priced at
or above the domestic issue price in India.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the shares, including shares represented by ADSs,
from time to time as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
through agents; |
|
|
|
to dealers or underwriters for resale; |
|
|
|
directly to purchasers; or |
|
|
|
through a combination of any of these methods of sale. |
In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or
distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our
existing securityholders. In some cases, we or dealers acting
for us or on our behalf may also repurchase securities and
reoffer them to the public by one or more of the methods
described above. This prospectus may be used in connection with
any offering of our securities through any of these methods or
other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Our securities distributed by any of these methods may be sold
to the public, in one or more transactions, either:
|
|
|
|
|
at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
|
|
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
at prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
|
|
|
at negotiated prices. |
We may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly from
the public from time to time. We may also designate agents from
time to time to solicit offers to purchase securities from the
public on our or their behalf. The prospectus supplement
relating to any particular offering of securities will name any
agents designated to solicit offers, and will include
information about any commissions we may pay the agents, in that
offering. Agents may be deemed to be underwriters as
that term is defined in the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act).
From time to time, we may sell securities to one or more dealers
as principals. The dealers, who may be deemed to be
underwriters as that term is defined in the
Securities Act, may then resell those securities to the public.
We may sell securities from time to time to one or more
underwriters, who would purchase the securities as principal for
resale to the public, either on a firm-commitment or
best-efforts basis. If we sell securities to underwriters, we
will execute an underwriting agreement with them at the time of
sale and will name them in the applicable prospectus supplement.
In connection with those sales, underwriters may be deemed to
have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting
discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from
purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agents.
Underwriters may resell the securities to or through dealers,
and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters
and/or commissions from purchasers for whom they may act as
agents. The applicable prospectus supplement will include
information about any underwriting compensation we pay to
underwriters, and any discounts, concessions or commissions
underwriters allow to participating dealers, in connection with
an offering of securities.
Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled,
under agreements that they may enter into with us, to
indemnification by us against civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with
respect to payments which they may be required to make.
In connection with an offering, the underwriters, including any
affiliate of ours that is acting as an underwriter or
prospective underwriter, may engage in transactions that
stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
securities offered. These transactions may include overalloting
the offering, creating a syndicate short position, and engaging
in stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions
created by short sales. Overallotment involves sales of the
securities in excess of the principal amount or number of the
9
securities to be purchased by the underwriters in the applicable
offering, which creates a short position for the underwriters.
Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater
number of securities than they are required to purchase in an
offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or
purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the securities in connection with
an offering.
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when
a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of
the underwriting discount it received because the underwriters
have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that
underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions.
As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the
price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these
activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on
an exchange or automated quotation system, if the securities are
listed on that exchange or admitted for trading on that
automated quotation system, or in the
over-the-counter market
or otherwise.
The underwriters, dealers and agents, as well as their
associates, may be customers of or lenders to, and may engage in
transactions with and perform services for, ICICI Bank and its
subsidiaries.
In addition, we expect to offer securities to or through our
affiliates, as underwriters, dealers or agents. Our affiliates
may also offer the securities in other markets through one or
more selling agents, including one another.
If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will
authorize dealers or other persons acting as our agent to
solicit offers by some institutions to purchase securities from
us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a
future date. Institutions with which these contracts may be made
include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies,
pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable
institutions and others.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus
supplement or confirmation of sale, the purchase price of the
securities will be required to be paid in immediately available
funds in New York City.
