Significant accounting policies
OVERVIEW
ICICI Bank Limited (the Bank) together with its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (collectively, the Group) is a diversified
financial services group providing a wide range of banking and financial services including commercial banking, retail banking,
project and corporate finance, working capital finance, insurance, venture capital and private equity, investment banking, broking
and treasury products and services.
The Bank was incorporated in Vadodara, India and is a banking company governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financials of ICICI Bank, its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
Entities, in which the Bank holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50.00% of the voting rights or where it exercises control, are fully
consolidated on a line-by-line basis in accordance with the provisions of AS 21. Entities where the Bank, directly or indirectly, holds
20.00% to 50.00% of the voting rights and/or has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting and the pro-rata share of their profit/(loss) is included in the consolidated profit and loss account. Assets,
liabilities, income and expenditure of jointly controlled entities are consolidated using the proportionate consolidation method.
Under this method, the Bank’s share of each of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the jointly controlled entity is reported
in separate line items in the consolidated financial statements. The Bank does not consolidate entities where the significant influence/
control is intended to be temporary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Basis of preparation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Group used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements conform to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP), the guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), National Housing Bank (NHB), the
Accounting Standards (AS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and notified by the Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) from time to time, as applicable to relevant companies and practices generally prevalent within
the banking industry in India. In the case of the foreign subsidiaries, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as applicable to the
foreign subsidiaries are followed.
The Group follows the accrual method of accounting except where otherwise stated, and the historical cost convention. In case the
accounting policies followed by a subsidiary or joint venture are different from those followed by the Bank, the same have been
disclosed separately.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that are considered
in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the results of the following entities in addition to the Bank.
