1
2
3
 AFS investments in Government of India securities, State government securities and Government securities outside India with unrealized losses totalling Rs. 8,575.6 million. Upon analyzing the debt security portfolios, the Bank determined that no allowance was required as of March 31, 2025 in government issued or backed securities as for these debt securities the risk of loss was deemed minimal. Additionally, none of the remaining AFS investments in debt securities held by the Bank were past due or in
non-accrual
status as of March 31, 2025. The declines in the market value of these securities were mainly attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Bank had the ability and intent to hold these investments until there is a recovery in fair value, which may be at maturity, the Bank did not record any write-offs for credit losses on any of these securities at March 31, 2025.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Bank monitors the credit quality of its investment securities through various risk management procedures, including the monitoring of credit ratings. A majority of the debt securities in the Bank’s investment portfolio were issued by the Government of India or State governments or entities or agencies that are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by such governments. The Bank believes the long history of no credit losses on these securities indicates that the expectation of
non-payment
of the amortized cost basis is zero, even if such governments were to technically default. Therefore, for the aforementioned securities, the Bank does not assess, or record expected credit losses due to the zero loss assumption. The Bank monitors the credit quality of its remaining AFS investment portfolio which is updated periodically. Such of the remaining AFS investment portfolio in an unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine if the loss is attributable to credit related factors and if an allowance for credit loss is needed. The average credit rating of the securities comprising the mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities was AAA (based upon external ratings where available) as of March 31, 2025.
