Independent Auditor's Review Report on standalone unaudited financial results
for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2023 of The Federal Bank
Limited pursuant to the Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 read with Regulation
63(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
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 nine months ended December 31, 2023 ('the Statement') attached herewith,
being submitted by the Bank pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 and
Regulation 52 read with Regulation 63(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board
of India (Listing Obligation and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as
amended ('the Regulations') except, for the disclosures relating to Pillar 3
as at December 31, 2023, including leverage ratio, liquidity coverage ratio
and net stable funding ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations as have been
disclosed on the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been
provided in the Note 9 to the Statement and have not been reviewed by us.
2. This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Bank's Management
and has been approved by the Bank's Board of Directors, has been prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in
Accounting Standard 25 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('AS 25') prescribed
under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with relevant
rules issued thereunder, in so far as they apply to the Banks, the relevant
provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the circulars, guidelines and
directions issued by the Reserve Bank of India ('the RBI') from time to time
('the RBI Guidelines'), other recognised accounting principles generally
accepted in India and is in compliance with the Regulations. Our
responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our
review.
3. 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. A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with Standards on Auditing under section 143(10) of the Act and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion.
4. Based on our review, conducted and procedures performed as stated in
paragraph 3 above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the accompanying Statement prepared in accordance with the recognition
and measurement principles laid down in AS 25, prescribed under Section 133 of
the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder, the RBI Guidelines and
other recognised accounting principles generally accepted in India has not
disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the
Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed or that it
contains material misstatement or that it has not been prepared in accordance
with the relevant prudential norms issued by the RBI in respect of income
recognition, asset classification, provisioning and other related matters,
except for the disclosures relating to Pillar 3 disclosures as at December 31,
2023, including leverage ratio, liquidity coverage ratio and net stable
funding ratio under Basel III Capital Regulations as have been disclosed on
the Bank's website and in respect of which a link has been provided in the
Note 9 to the Statement and have not been reviewed by us.
5. The Statement includes standalone financial results of the Bank for
the corresponding quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2022, which were
reviewed by another auditor whose report dated -January 16, 2023 expressed an
unmodified opinion on those results. The Statement also includes the
standalone financial statements of the Bank for the year ended March 31, 2023
which were audited by another auditors whose report dated May 05, 2023
expressed an unmodified opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
