The principal sources of information used in the analysis are described in the Applicable Criteria.

ESG CONSIDERATIONS

IDBI Bank has an ESG Relevance Score of '4' for Governance Structure due to our assessment that key governance aspects, in particular board independence and effectiveness, ownership concentration and protection of creditor or stakeholder rights are a moderate inuence on the VR. It has a negative impact on the credit prole, and is relevant to the ratings in conjunction with other factors. Fitch views governance to be less developed for state banks, which is evident from weak underwriting that results in high levels of poorly performing loans and credit losses. IDBI Bank's board is dominated by government appointees, and its business models often focus on supporting government strategy with lending directed towards promoting socioeconomic and macroeconomic policies, which may include lending to government-owned companies. These factors also drive our view on the bank's state linkages that affect support prospects that drive the long-term ratings.

IDBI Bank has an ESG Relevance Score of '4' for Financial Transparency due to our assessment that the quality and frequency of nancial reporting and the auditing process are a moderate inuence on the VR. It has a negative impact on the credit prole, and is relevant to the ratings in conjunction with other factors. These factors have become more prominent in the past few years because of the sharp nancial deterioration at state banks as well as the widely reported divergences in nonperforming loan recognition between the banks and the regulator, although these incidents have narrowed in recent years. Still, nancial transparency is pivotal for

not managed well.

The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verication it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verication sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors.

contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identied in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, veried and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement led under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction.
