INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT                                                     

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

THE FEDERAL BANK LIMITED

1.   We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of Standalone Unaudited Financial Results of THE FEDERAL BANK LIMITED ("the Bank") for the Quarter and Half Year ended 30th September, 2015 ("the Statement"), being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirement of Clause 41 of the Listing Agreements with the Stock Exchanges, except for the disclosures referred to in paragraph 6 below. This Statement is the responsibility of the Bank's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.

2.   We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.  This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Bank personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

3.   In the conduct of our review, 111 branches have been reviewed by one of us which covers 55 percent of the advances portfolio of the bank as at 30th September, 2015. We have also relied upon various returns received from the branches of the bank.

4.   Based on our review conducted as stated above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards  specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013,  read with  Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Clause 41 of the Listing Agreements with the Stock Exchanges, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement or that it has not been prepared in accordance with the relevant prudential norms prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India in respect of income recognition, asset classification, provisioning and other related matters.

5.   Attention is drawn to Note No. 11 of the Statement regarding deferment of shortfall of Rs.569.78 Lakhs arising from the sale of certain non-performing assets during the quarter ended 30th September, 2015 in terms of RBI Master Circular DBR.No.BP.BC.2/21.04.048/2015-16 on Prudential Norms on Income Recognition, Asset Classification and Provisioning pertaining to advances, dated July 1, 2015, and the unamortised balance as at 30th September, 2015 of Rs.488.38 Lakhs.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

6.   Further, we also report that we have traced the number of shares as well as the percentage of shareholding in respect of the aggregate amount of public shareholding, and the number of shares as well as the percentage of shares pledged/encumbered and non-encumbered in respect of the aggregate amount of promoters and promoter group shareholding in terms of Clause 35 of the Listing Agreements with the Stock Exchanges and the particulars relating to investor complaints disclosed in the Statement, from the details furnished by the Registrars. The "Pillar 3 disclosures including Leverage Ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations" disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in the Statement have not been subjected to our review.
