In 2008, RBI issued guidelines on debt restructuring, which also covered the treatment of funded interest in cases of debt restructuring, that is, instances where interest for a certain period is funded by a Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) which is then repaid based on a contracted maturity schedule. In line with these guidelines, the Bank has been providing fully for any interest income which is funded through a FITL for cases restructured subsequent to the issuance of the guideline. However, RBI has now required similar treatment of outstanding FITL pertaining to cases restructured prior to the 2008 guidelines which have not yet been repaid. In view of the above, and since this item relates to prior years, the Bank has with the approval of the RBI debited its reserves by Rs. 929.16 crore to fully provide outstanding FITLs pertaining to restructurings prior to the issuance of the guideline in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as against over three quarters permitted by RBI. These FITLs relate to pre-2008 restructurings where the borrowers have since been upgraded, and this impact would get reversed as FITLs are repaid as per their contractual maturities.
6.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Bank has allotted 5,721,325 equity shares of Rs. 2 each were allotted pursuant to exercise of employee stock options.

1.  
In 2008, RBI issued guidelines on debt restructuring, which also covered the treatment of funded interest in cases of debt restructuring, that is, instances where interest for a certain period is funded by a Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) which is then repaid based on a contracted maturity schedule. In line with these guidelines, the Bank has been providing fully for any interest income which is funded through a FITL for cases restructured subsequent to the issuance of the guideline. However, RBI has now required similar treatment of outstanding FITL pertaining to cases restructured prior to the 2008 guidelines which have not yet been repaid. In view of the above, and since this item relates to prior years, the Bank has with the approval of the RBI debited its reserves by Rs. 929 crore to fully provide outstanding FITLs pertaining to restructurings prior to the issuance of the guideline in the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as against over three quarters permitted by RBI. These FITLs relate to pre-2008 restructurings where the borrowers have since been upgraded, and this impact would get reversed as FITLs are repaid as per their contractual maturities. Borrowings include preference share capital of Rs. 350 crore.
